Chapter 64 - The agreement 7

Han Ling opened her eyes way ahead of what Fu Jin said about her condition.

After taking the prescription of Fu Jin she felt quite strong only that she had a slight headache. Her beautiful skin was now returned to normal.

It was even better than before and Han Ling's beauty was now on par with her sister's.

The door opened and JinEhuang came inside a satisfied smile on her face.

"Ling'er, you're awake."Jin Ehuang said in a low yet firm affectionate voice as she walked slowly yet elegantly to her daughter

"Mother, what happened to me?"Han Ling asked.

"My beautiful daughter, what matters the most now is that you're alright."Jin Ehuang tried to reassure her daughter.

But Han Ling would not take it.

She begged her mom to help find a seer who can help her recollect her memories.

"Okay," Jin Ehuang finally conceded and added."Anything for my little princess"

She then urged her to rest while ordering two maids to bring rice porridge for her to feed her darling Han Ling.

Theresa who claimed to be also exercising had taken a bath in the pool in the bathroom, changed her clothes and finally left the house.

She wanted to explore this city more on her own.

The punishments she gave to Ren should be enough for her to enjoy the ancient world.

Outside the house, she saw that it was located on a lonely street.

It was the 2nd best house in the street that Ren had acquired for her.

"At least, that pet has some thoughts for his mistress" she muttered as she walked towards the start of the street.

On reaching there she saw that she was at another market different from the one she had explored.

This one was much bigger.

There were lots and lots of stores on both sides of the market and it was crowded and very busy.

There were various vendors advertising their goods.

She also saw blacksmiths at work.

"Wow! This is nice. I'll have a lot of fun today. That damn pet brought me to a small boring market. This is the one I want. The real one.' she thought as she moved along the market mingling with crowds.

An old lady called on her to taste her steamed buns. She seemed frail and sick but she still beamed a smile at Theresa.

"Dear, try out these steamed buns. They are made with love." said the old lady who was dressed in tattered clothing.

Theresa beamed a bright smile at the old lady and stooped to pick one of the buns and put it into her mouth.

Theresa's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's delicious" she exclaimed in surprise.

"This is wonderful. I should bring her home to serve as a cook because I'll be really lonely and die of frustration with that evil pet I have at home"Theresa thought happily.

Theresa picked another steamed bun and gave the lady a thumbs up.

The old lady smiled and encouraged her to eat more.

While Theresa was enjoying her snack, she did not know that some men were going about in the market searching for her, showing people around a portrait of the disguise she used at the ruined restaurant.

If they find her, they are to automatically kill her if she puts up resistance.

Theresa is currently in another disguise as a pretty girl of 15. She couldn't cultivate and looks like she was from a middle-class family.

"Grandma, how much are these?"Theresa asked.

"A copper coin for each." the lady replied.

"Wah! So cheap. These things are too delicious to be a copper coin. Grandma, I need a cook at home. I wonder if you'll like to come to be--"Theresa did not get to finish her words when a small stone thrown by an unseen person hit the old lady's left cheek pushing her to the ground and falling all of her steamed buns.

Theresa looked around in anger.

"Who did this?" she asked loudly.

She wasn't happy at what happened.

However, no one bothered to answer her. Everyone kept doing their business.

Theresa was shocked and got even angrier. However, anger would not solve everything. For example, the poor lady was still on the ground.

Theresa raised her up and made her sit on a stool.

"Grandma are you alright?"Theresa asked concerned.

"She'll always be alright," said a man who just appeared from nowhere.

Theresa turned to see a man who was big and about 7ft tall. He wasn't wearing an upper garment so his 8 solid packs and large muscles were clear for all to see.

Theresas gulped when she saw this sight.

"Who is this guy and how many hours did he spend working out these days to actually have these muscles? He couldn't be here to beat up this innocent lady right?"Theresa thought.

"Who are you?' she mustered the courage to speak up to this big guy. She needs to protect her future cook.

"Who am I? You little Ant dare ask who am I?" the man said loudly.

By now, a crowd had gathered though they remained a reasonable distance from him.

It seemed this guy was well known and feared by the people.

"You are such a pretty girl, why throw away your life for this chicken lady?" the man asked Theresa as he raised her chin with his index finger.

"I'll let her go today if you give me your first night," he said as he ran his hand through her collar bone.

Many of them were praying for her to have an intact corpse.

Theresa could not believe how things quickly changed.

First, she was here to enjoy these delicious steamed buns now it's turned to s.e.x.u.a.l assault?

The bad part is, she couldn't fight back.

Where will she slap as a defense? His chest? Why did this harasser have to be so tall?
