Chapter 32 - Starting afresh 2,robbing Ren

Ren was stunned at mistress action. Why did she hug him so suddenly?

He looked down at her sobbing face and his heart tightened.

His mistress---she must have been frightened by those two ingrates.

"Ren--i'm sorry for being mean to you. I just wanna tame you.I'm sorry" Theresa begged.

So she finally apologized to him. He could ask her to break the contract but then--she'll be all alone. Without him, .she'd have frozen to death.

He didn't know when his tears began to fall and when they landed on Theresa's shoulders, they turned into big pearls but he didn't mind.

"Ren, don't leave me here" Theresa whispered, her eyes closed.

"I won't leave you mistress"Ren reassured her and hugged her tighter. He would never leave her alone but be here for her. She's trying to act tough but she's really lonely.

Wherever she was summoned from, she might be missing her former home.

He should be kind to mistress from now on.

Theresa saw that Ren's tears had formed 15 pearls and then she left his embrace and picked up the fallen pearls. She put them into a small purse she found under the creaky bed where she had already kept the earlier pearls.

She then wipes her fake tears and smiled at Ren.

"I'm ready to explore this ancient world. Do the honor of being my tour guide."She said excitedly to a stunned Ren.

So all along she had been pretending? What kind of master was she?

She dared to rob him in broad daylight and under his nose.

But the disturbing thing was that he couldn't do anything about it.

It seems he was doomed to a life of shedding tears just because his master wanted free money.

"Mistress--you"

"Yeah! You are useful to me. Money bank, powerful tour guide, You'll also teach me how to cultivate." she explained.

Ren was hurt. So his first use is free moneybank? But he has lots of go tld and silver. Why doesn't she want that?

AS if replying to his thoughts Theresa spoke up.

"Getting pearls from you is my way of punishing you for whipping my butt. Not even my mama has slapped me but an audacious you dare to whip my butt, so of course, i won't let you go. And when i was very weak you did not help me so i punished you with periods" she said.

"But mis--"Theresa interrupted him and ordered him to take her out of the cold palace after she managed to wear one of the robes.

Ren simply nodded and held her hand and both slowly started to disintegrate and blown away just like willow flowers blown away by the wind.

--------------

Finally out of the cold palace, Theresa was excited when she appeared with ren in an alley.

"Mistress, the bathroom is two houses away from here. It's meant for peasants and the rich. Mistress you are a beauty that'll cause trouble there so please let me change you"

Without waiting for his mistress' answer, Ren acted of his own accord and turned her into a middle-aged lady that was frail and not too pretty.

Theresa did not do anything as she really wanted a bath.

"Take me there Ren" she ordered

"Yes, mistress"Ren bowed his head in reply and turned into a middle-aged woman dressed the same as Theresa.

--------------------

The public bathroom for peasants was filled up. That of the middle class was half-filled.

Then that of the rich only had a few inside.

"What? Isn't that too much?"Theresa exclaimed

She just wanted a nice warm bath and they wear asking for a gold coin. This to her was robbery.

And they were doing so in a seemingly righteous manner.

But she had no choice.

"Rem.pay for us"She ordered.

Ren stared at her.

"Mistress, you dare complain that they're robbing you? You robbed me twice and now you want me to spend my money on things you want? i am not your lover!?"Ren thought.

"Ren, pay for it and I'll stop your period punishment for now and won't make you cry pearls," Theresa said through telepathy.

Ren on hearing her words, instantly brought out 3 gold coins and threw it at the attendant who was puzzled until Ren said in his female voice"Keep the change" and then hurried off with his mistress.

The attendant/cashier could not believe it.

That man gave him two gold coins for free? No! He'd have to give this to the boss.

With that, the attendant walked away.

-------

Theresa had found a vacant bathroom which she quickly entered with some clothes in a bag that Ren was carrying before.

After instructing him to stand guard at the door, she slammed the door against Ren who shook his head.

When Theresa turned around she was amazed at what she saw.
