A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Theresa kept walking towards them oblivious to her current situation.

Lu Fan smiled as he walked towards Theresa.

“I would like to see how long that measly shield of yours will last,” he said as he kept advancing towards Theresa who did not retreat. He lifted one of his left fingers and pointed it at Theresa.

There was no light emanating from the finger but from the inaudible words said by Lu Fan, it was obvious he was casting a spell and it is not a small one.

Theresa had successfully reached Lu Fan’s spot and then dashed past him towards the others. Lu Fan did not go after her. Instead, he lifted another finger and continued saying the inaudible words at a much faster rate.

When she was 6 feet away from the other men who were there to harm Grandma, Lu Fan’s two fingers emitted red light and he turned to face Theresa’s back.

“Go” he muttered.

Immediately, two small red lights left the current glowing fingers of Lu Fan and headed towards Theresa.

As expected they both hit her shield but it immediately crashed since it was a twin spell that Lu Fan cast.

This spell is called ‘Divider’. It is especially used in breaking someone’s barrier especially if that person is below the Saint stage. Seeing that he had succeeded in destroying her shield, he then rubbed his chin and contemplated on which spell to use again.

Theresa on her part, the moment the twin spells hit her shield, she felt it crash and she received a small impact. Currently, she is frozen to the ground, unable to move.

It was at this moment that Grandma came out of the house wearing tattered clothes.

“So even at night, Grandma is still on rags? I must do something to save her from the clutches of these men. But how will I help her?” thought Theresa.

But unfortunately, she was helpless as she could not even speak nor move.

“Of all types of worlds, why must I be summoned here? I get sealed with unknown magic and spells every time. I’m so done with this Luo Ye” Theresa complained in her heart.

She just wanted to get a new cook and thereby lift the good Grandma from grass to grace. She had good intentions! Why then must she encounter one problem or the other?

“My sons, what brings you to my humble abode?” Grandma asked her hands akimbo.

“May the 8 fiery claps of thunder of the heavens strike that cursed mouth of yours.” said one of Lu Jie’s brothers.

“My dear sons, I have just prepared a meal. Please let us share and strengthen our family bond” persuaded the Grandma.

“Old hag, give me the ring” Lu Jie barked startling Grandma.

“R-Ring? What Ring? Ever since I was born, I have never worn a ring.” Grandma replied. She looked confused but the brothers would not fall for her act.

“Old lady, we’d spare your head and this little lass here if you give the ring back,” said Lu Fan. Seeing that they were not buying her act, she then straightened her back and yawned.

“Boys, it seems you need some good smacking on your little butts and I’d be happy to do so. How do we play this game? Will you come at me one on one or all at once?” she asked.

Theresa stared at Grandma with wide eyes.

“Grandma, you don’t need to pretend to be brave just to save my neck,” Theresa thought. Damn that spell that Lu Fan cast on her! She can’t help Grandma in any way. It seems luck has finally run out for her. Theresa resigned to whatever fate has in store for her and closed her eyes.

One minute passed, two minutes, 5 whole minutes passed and Theresa felt nor heard anything. She opened her eyes to see Grandma with a thin cane in her right hand pointing at five men. These men were the ones who wanted her dead earlier.

Currently, apart from their clothes, one would not easily recognize them.

One had the head of a lizard, 3 had goat’s head and the other two had a cat’s head. Theresa did not know what to do at this scene. Should she cry or laugh? Everything seemed so funny.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She came to help someone but she ended up being saved by the one she intended to help. What a turnout of things!

These six men who were after her life and Grandma were currently unconscious in their terrible states. Grandma smiled and turned to face Theresa.

“My daughter, you’re welcome to my humble abode. Join me inside,” she said and the walked back into her little bamboo home.

Theresa felt her body become free again and all she could say was: “Wow!”

There are really wonders in this world! When she gets back home, she’d ask Long Ren to tell her as much that he knows about this world and the so-called cultivation.

This world is not like Earth where she has lots of bodyguards and servants. Here, all she had was a disobedient pet-man and of course, her future cook.

Theresa being a lazy girl back on earth, did not know how to cook. She is an heiress after all; why bother to learn such annoying things? Now she really sees the importance of cooking.

Theresa threw one more look at the unconscious guys and rushed quickly into Grandma’s home.

When she entered, she opened her mouth in shock.

From outside this house seems to be so fragile and small but on getting in, she could see that the sitting room was twice her room back on earth. Though there were only 3 chairs and a small table in the middle of the room, there was so much space that was lefty occupied. A lot of questions began to form in her head.

Why the heck was grandma struggling to sell those buns on the streets when she’s such a powerful magical being? Who was she?

“My dear daughter make yourself at home. What may I offer you?” Grandma asked.

“I would like a bottle of sprite,” said Theresa. Grandma was confused.

“What kind of drink is that? I have never heard of it” said Grandma.

Theresa smiled and shook her head.

“Grandma, that drink is not in this world. Give me any tea you have” she said while rubbing her palms together.

Grandma smiled and nodded. She raised her right hand and a pot containing high-grade tea. Also, two cups appeared on the small table.

“My dear, here’s tea.” said grandma as she put the pot on the table.

Theresa sat on one of the chairs and poured tea into the two cups and gave one to grandma who sat on the chair opposite her.

“My child state your mission. Don’t beat around the bush” grandma flatly stated.

“Well… err…. you see… I originally came intending to offer you a job as a cook in my new home because I thought…” she was interrupted by grandma.

“My dear just like everyone else you thought I was poor?” she asked.

Theresa nervously nodded, head bowed low.

Grandma laughed and drank her tea slowly. Theresa watched as grandma slowly finished up her tea. In not a long time, she put down the cup and poured tea again slowly into the cup.

“My dear, what’s your name?” she asked.

“I’m called Han Fei Fei” Theresa replied.

“Good!” grandma said as she picked the teacup from the table and brought it to her mouth. She blew a little air into the cup and sipped a bit of tea.

“I can sense your innocence and sincerity.” grandma remarked and added.”But my dear, take a look at this place. It is big and spacious. What makes you think that this old lady would be willing to leave here and come stay with you as a cook? Yes, I do make buns for a living but…. that is just a cover-up to fool the others. I’m not wealthy but I have enough to hire and cater for 7 servants. So tell me, why should I come to be your maid?” grandma asked.
