Chapter 169 - 169

Back at the forbidden mountain...

Long Ren sat on the ground outside his house, tears continuously flowed down his eyes which formed pearls once they landed on the ground.

From the number of pearls on the ground, it was clear that he had been crying for a long time.

His hair color has changed to a water chestnut color with strips of white in between the strands of hair.

His skin and lips were pale and his body kept trembling.

"Mistress...why? Why me?" he cried out loudly.

From inside the house, Theresa kept knocking on the door.

"Open this door, please. Ren'er"

"Just shut up! Don't call me that! You won't leave until you dissolve this contact from your heart," shouted Long Ren.

He stood up from where he was and walked away.

"Long Ren, open this door, please. I've told you that I'm ready to dissolve the contract. Please open the door. Long Ren! Long Ren! lease open the door. Long Ren..."Theresa yelled again continuously knocking but Long Ren was no longer there.

He was heading for the home of his arch enemy-Cao Wei, a black demon she-wolf that lived 20 kilometers away from his house in a cave known as the cave of skulls.

This name was given to it because, those who went in, whether deliberately or unintentionally-none of them came out. Even if their bodies were found, it was always incomplete because it was headless.

The only cultivator who was able to escape the demoness clutches said that she uses the head of corpses or skulls as decorations.

Since then, people were always careful of this cave in the forbidden forest.

The forbidden forest is very vast. No one knows the start or the end.

But it is known that this forest connects many nations and serve as roads to these nations though it's very risky.

"I don't have much power left. But i will kill you before i die"Long Ren said to himself and disappeared.

Back inside Long Ren's house, Theresa stopped knocking and slumped to the ground.

In her head, these words from her dream about Han Fei sounded"You must dissolve the contract at the right time".

Theresa didn't know why she was so unwilling.

She knew in her heart that she no longer saw him as a money bank. Somehow, she really wanted him to be the brother she never had.

"I ruined everything. Long Ren...i am sorry. I have made everyone around me suffer for too long. Thankfully, i fulfilled Han Fei Fei's mission. It's best if i leave. That way, Long Ren will be free from the contract that binds us together. As for mum and dad, i am sorry. Really sorry. Dorothy, i can't be your host. I am sorry" Theresa said in a whisper and closed her eyes, letting more tears flow.

"This is my payment to you, Long Ren. You've done a lot for me but i didn't value it. They say, its when you lose something valuable that you treasure it. Long Ren...i'm very sorry. I'm sorry" Theresa said in her heart.

She didn't notice nor sense that there was a figure dressed in yellow behind her hidden in the shadows and watching her intently.

"This is good news. Long Ren has fallen.I'll go release this news once i leave here"the figure thought.

Meanwhile, Long Ren appeared at the cave of skulls and entered the cave, his eyes bloodshot.

"I guess i'm lucky to have another visitor after so many years" a female voice that was soothing to the ears was heard in the dark cave and Long Ren turned towards the direction of the owner of the voice.

"Long Ren, long time no see. This lowly one would like to know why she has the honor of being visited by the feared demon lord Long Ren" said the lady who came out from the shadows dressed in white robes that were stained in blood.
