Chapter 152 - A new arrival 8

Theresa picked him up and caressed his fur.

"Just now he was human how?"Marabelle had still not registered what happened just now.

"You can hold him, "Theresa said as she handed Long Ren to Marabelle but she rejected him and retreated.

"What? Are you scared?"Theresa asked.

"Err...i think you should keep him. Besides, i'm not fond of animals" Marabelle hurriedly said.

"Marabelle, you hate animals? Especially furry and pure ones like this one?"Theresa asked with a smile.

"Eh...let me hold him for a while"Marabelle gave in despite her fear.

She carried Long Ren and patted his head.

Long Ren wasn't happy with this development. The last time something like this happened, Mistress almost lost her life.

"Calm down, Long Ren. She's my sister" Theresa said to him telepathically.

"Mistress, i really want to breathe out green fire on this girl"Long Ren replied.

"Just bear it. Then I'll let you play"

"Mistress, i'm no kid"

"Theresa, what are you doing having a staring contest with your fox?"Marabelle asked.

"No. I just want to make sure he doesn't disobey. "Theresa then sat on the bed and sighed.

"Is my father alright? How did my mama die?"Theresa asked.

"Well..." Marabelle exhaled and sat on the chair beside the bed after placing Long Ren on Theresa's laps.

"Your dad couldn't be consoled on her funeral in India"

"Wait, my mama's already buried?"

"Yes, your dad though he tries to look strong always break down and cries at night.I'm sure of it since I've seen him recently at a bar crying while drinking his 17th bottle of beer with your mama's picture in one hand. Your father misses her and also you. He wanted you found at all costs even putting up a large sum of money as a reward if you were found either dead or alive but he suddenly stopped the search for you. I dunno why"Marabelle explained.

"I..am at fault. If i didn't insist on going to the concert, all these wouldn't have happened and also those people wouldn't have died. Those people died because of me."Theresa said in a shaky voice.

"Theresa my best buddy, don't say that"

"But i'm not wrong. If i didn't enter that plane, they wouldn't have died. Those people have families and loved ones. But because of me, they were separated from them. Tell me,how...how do i go about this. How can i forgive myself? Because of me, my sweet mama died and i put father in pain. I'm a sinner. A gross sinner. I once thought that the man who sat with me on the airplane was deserving of death a thousand times. But the fact is that...i am worse off than him. Marabelle, Paul died because of me too."Theresa couldn't hold it anymore and started crying.

Long Ren couldn't understand German so he didn't know why his mistress was crying.

Still, he felt bad for her.

"Mistress, are you alright?" he asked telepathically.

"I dunno. I don't know why things turned out to be like this. I just wanted to see my favorite singer but what did i get?"

Long Ren left Theresa's bosom and disappeared.

Marabelle wasn't that shocked anymore.

"Theresa, don't cry. It's alright"

"But it's not. Don't give me false hope," said Theresa.

Marabelle got up from the chair and hugged Theresa petting her back gently.

"I deserve to die."Theresa cried.

"Eish, Don't say that. You are the innocent Theresa that I've known from kindergarten. My best buddy"Marabelle consoled.

Ju Wei just stared at both of them not knowing what to say or do.

He was at a loss. He didn't even understand what they'd been talking about.

He walked to the chair that Long Ren earlier sat on and sat only for the chair to disappear. Ju Wei ended up falling to the floor.

"Master is still the same. Stingy"Ju Wei said unhappily.

30 minutes later...

Long Ren appeared and took out a golden small chest from his spatial ring.

He walked to Theresa who was still crying.

"Mistress, inside this chest is the life flower. There are only two of them on this continent. I managed to get it from one of the cultivators who wanted me to be their pet. It can bring someone dead back to life but it only lasts for 6 months. Within those six months the person must eat the egg of the black serpent or else he'll die again. Mistress, if your friend can return with this back to your world, your mother can be saved temporarily"Long Ren said as he placed the chest on the bed.

Theresa separated from Marabell's embrace and picked up the chest.

She didn't find any opening.

"Mistress, the chest will open if the person in question is present. From my calculations, tomorrow night is the last night that the two moons of Luo Ye will be close to each other" said Long Ren.

"Luo Ye has two moons?"Theresa asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it only happens on a particular month for 25 days. I think the late Han Fei Fei never had you in mind when using the forbidden summoning technique. When the two moons of Luo Ye meet, the barrier protecting the continent is weakened allowing things from outside to get in. You had a spiritual root that's why you were summoned here. And it means that one of your ancestor either maternal or paternal is from this continent. So in a sense, you belong here" said Long Ren.

"I don't get you. You'll understand it later but for now, let's face the important thing. The two moons of Luo Ye will soon meet so your friend must take this chance to go back and get to the corpse of your mother."

"No, let my father do it," said Theresa.

"Then it's even better. Mistress, I'll use the flower on her tomorrow night."Long Ren said and disappeared again.

Theresa wiped off her tears and looked at the curious Marabelle.

"What did he tell you?"Marabelle asked.

"My,...mama can be saved," said Theresa.

"How? She...she's already...dead"Marabelle wasn't willing to believe.

"I told you this is a fantasy world. Marabelle, you are my best and only buddy. I need your help. I want you to go to my father and give him this chest. Tell him to go to India and place it mother's grave"Theresa said.

"Err....your mama was placed in an ice casket. That's what i heard. I couldn't attend because my parents won't let me" said Marabelle.

"No matter what you must get this chest to my father. Promise me you'll do it"

"I will but..how will he believe me?"Marabelle asked worriedly.

"Here," Theresa cut her hair and placed it on Marabelle's hands. Then she took off the ring she'd been hiding in her hair and placed it on Marabelle's right hand.

"This is the ring that is worn only by the heir of the Williams family. When he sees this and my hair, he will believe you" Theresa said.

"Okay, i promise you. No matter what, I'll get this chest into your father's hands" Marabelle vowed and at that moment, a portal appeared.

"I have to go back. I don't know when we'll meet again but I'll always wait for you. I will help save your mama."Marabelle finally said and hugged Theresa after placing the chest, ring and Thersa's cut off strands of hair in her pockets.

"Be well best buddy?" Theresa said before releasing herself from Marabelle's hug.

A strong force sucked Marabelle into the portal and closed then it disappeared.

Seeing this, Theresa sighed and sat back on the ned.

"Marabelle, good luck" she whispered before blacking out.

Long Ren appeared in time just to stop her from falling.

He made her lie down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

"Mistress, you don't know that i lied to you. You don't know that i exchanged 5 cultivation stages to get this flower. Mistress, you don't know how much i'm beginning to like you. I want to be your brother and friend. I don't wanna see you cry. Mistress, now that your true self is back, i will cherish you and sacrifice even my life for you. Mistress...."Long Ren didn't know what to say anymore and turned around before vanishing.

Our Long Ren is now in Golden core stage after losing 5 stages of cultivation.

A pity he's not the ML.

The ML will have a lot of work to do if he must impress this author's and others' hearts or else he should just go to hell.
