Chapter 31 - Missing Mouse

Bai Lei stands at the open window with a look of irritation. Ren suddenly appears behind him and kneels as he says "We found a local clothes shop where she sold a few dresses. She then left dressed as a male."

"After following her trail, she was seen in the next town over. She bought steamed buns and reports also say she bought a slave... a small lifeless boy. She then left the town, heading north." Ren says with his head bowed. His master has been incredibly pissed after the demon woman disappeared.

Bai Lei frowns at the report... why was she heading north? What was in the north? His confusion grows when he thinks about the slave. Why did she by a slave? A small boy at that? How much did she get for the dresses...

His irritation slowly grows when he thinks about how clumsy she is. She must be incredibly lucky to make it that far without running into trouble. Why was she so good at running? At this point, it's just the principle of the whole thing.

She actually ran away from marrying me! A cold smile slowly crawls across his face as his fists tighten. Good, very good! Run as far as you can little mouse. I will soon come to get you when I've completely healed. Let's see how you run then!

Ren shivers as he feels the air around him becoming denser. His master was healing every day and every day he gets closer to his original power... that evil woman has no idea who she's messed with. Maybe I should start making funeral arrangments for the wicked woman?

His nipples haven't been the same... Bai Lei turns around and says "Keep men on her at all times. If someone tries to harm her, kill them." Ren wants to argue but he knows better. He nods his head and says "Yes my lord."

"Leave," Bai Lei says sitting at his desk. Ren cups his fits and bows before quickly leaving. Bai Lei watches him leave but when he thinks back to the woman again, his eyes flash red. "Run while you can. After this, you will never run from me again." He says with glowing red eyes.

It's almost time to leave the human realm... I don't care for it but I've had to tolerate it as I heal. Those who tried to kill me will be surprised when I show back up in one piece. The cold smile was suddenly back but this time his red eyes made him look like a seductive devil.

His long black hair was completely loose so when he leans to the side, his ink-black hair slowly falls over his broad shoulders. His long fingers prop up his chin as he leans back in the chair with a lazy look but his eyes burned with the fury he felt inside.

When he goes back, he will skin the ones responsible for his injuries, alive! Did they really think they could kill him? The only reason they managed to hurt him was because of the high priest. That's fine, it allowed him to clearly see their true intentions.

He slowly reaches out and grabs the small porcelain cup holding the fragrant tea. He swirls the tea as he slowly moves everything into place from the shadows. They have no idea who they're messing with... that's okay. I will show them just who they've pissed off, including that woman.

He frowns slightly when he catches his train of thought... why was he so keen on chasing this woman down? He only had a hunch that she would be powerful... she had seemed anything but while she was here! But when I think of her, all I can see are those hypnotic green eyes.

He's been around for a very long time but he had never seen someone with that color before... that and she was clearly from another world or realm. Yes, that's why he was so drawn to her and that's why he can't just let her go. His red eyes darken as he sips the tea, soon she'll be back where she belongs.
