Love Is Timeless - Chapter 179

“Don’t bother. I know where she’ll be”said Fu Jin abruptly.

“Where?”Ju Wei asked in sheer eagerness.

“Go to the source, that is her origin”Fu Jin said.

“Her source? Isn’t it the cold palace?”Ju Wei was shocked at the thought his mistress had teleported to such a far distance easily.

Fu Jin shook his head.

“Where she started cultivating. The secluded room recall?”

“Oh! You should have said so. Just pulling our legs for no just reason”Long Ren mumbled.

“I’m out”Ju Wei vanished.

“Me too!”Fu Jin did the same leaving Long Ren alone with his grandpa.

“You unfilial child! Why did you treat her like that? You misunderstood your mistress this time. You shouldn’t have abandoned her. Do you know what she went through because of you? You’re such a fool. You are one of the lucky pets in the world to meet a master like her. Thankfully,no matter what you do, you can’t run away anymore since you are bound to her for life” old Long spoke with a sigh.

“Grandpa, is there anyway?”

“To do what?”

“To…Grandpa please you must help me out. That snake is stronger than me. I can’t stand him too. He wants to steal my limelight. Please find a way to make mistress reject him. I want to go back to her and let her forgive me. Grandpa” Long Ren knelt down and put his palms together to plead but old Long shook his head.

“I can’t help you. Child, your life is a mess but i can’t always clean it up for you. Your mistress had begun to trust you like a big brother but what did you do? You dashed her hope to pieces. Why did you even have to hit her face?”he thundered but Long Ren couldn’t reply.

“Was it because she insulted you? Or because she slapped you first? ANSWER ME”

“Grandpa, please lower your voice. Please don’t shout at me”Long Ren begged with a small voice. He was already close to tears.

“Tell me, my child” old Long lowered his voice and went on one knee.

“What’s happening to you these days? What’s going on with you?”

“Grandpa I…didn’t really want to be her pet from the start because i thought she’d be evil and treat me so badly. My first impression of her was really bad and i hated her so much that i prayed she’d die but for some reason my hate began to diminish especially with the way she handled the mission handed to her by the late Han Fei Fei. But all went wrong when i got that life saving flower”

“I see! So it’s because of your cultivation? I indeed took 5 stages of your cultivation but i didn’t have a need for it. That flower requires someone with a low cultivation to perform the rituals. Your cultivation was just too high so i took some and made the qi energy into a spirit bead.” he took out a glowing small red ball of light and it floated in the air.

“My cultivation” Long Ren muttered sofly with longing but then he quickly bowed low his head.

“I planned on giving this back to you after you were done and stabilized but who knew you wouldn’t cherish what you have. Let this serve as a lesson to you child. You must turn a new leaf from now on and treat your mistress well. I also want you to cultivate diligently and teach her the ways of this world. When the time is right, take her to a school and let her learn at her own pace” with those words, old Long crushed the ball of light and it scattered into fragments of light which soon vanished like smoke and before Long Ren could mutter anything he had vanished.

Long Ren clutched his chest and spat out blood. His whole body was trembling.

“My cultivation! My cultivation! it’s all gone. Why? Why?” Long Ren whispered in disbelief.

“My precious cultivation” Long Ren began to weep bitterly. This was the second time he was crying after the death of his parents. He pulled his hair in frustration and roared,hitting the floor continously with his right fist.

“How did it turn out like this? How? This must be a joke right? It must be!” he tried to convince himself but reality was harsh.

“Your so stupid Long Ren”h began to slap himself. “STUPID! STUPID!”

Outside the door to the Theresa’s room, old Long reappeared,a sly smile on his lips.

“Boy, things will be even more fun. Now i need to go see my grandson’s mistress.”he took out another ball of light from his spatial ring that shined more brightly than the crushed one from earlier.

“I’ll keep this until you learn your lesson. I spoiled you too much and you forgot how wicked this old man could ever be.” he kept the ball of light back in the ring and stretched his arms sideways ,yawning like someone who wanted to sleep so badly beforre walking towards the secluded room. At this same moment,Aarti opened her eyes.
