Three days later.
Luo Ye.
At Theresa's home.
The secluded room was well decorated and it seemed like there was a happy occassion going on. Guess what it is?
Everyone is seated on chairs made with straw and timber, dressed richly. The stars of this occassion are

Clark and Aarti Williams!
Both are in matching red robes and Aarti looked like a sixteen year old lass. Doctor Fu Jin and Long Ren's Grandpa had showered her praises and gifts to no end.
Bai Lu Chen and Ju Wei provided music, while Marabelle, Aarti and Long Ren served the food. Theresa, who is dressed in a white robe with red belt and scarf was the dancer for the occassion and her body was clearly better in flexibility and grace. Occassionally, her parents joined her and hugged her.
"Clark, this week spent here has made me realize that Life isn't all about riches and technology. Look at us, everyone here. Look at our Theresa! she's happy and I am happy too. If possible, I'd like to stay here with my baby forever. I wanna see her get married, have children...I also like the feeling of flying hehe" said Aarti telepathically to Clark.
Well if you got questions, let me do some explanation. During the past few days, Clark has been forced into the road of cultivation. His speed is that of an average person for now. It was painful but he bore with it and now, he looks like 30 without a beard. His clothes cannot hide the muscles and packs. Aarti has reached Foundation level 1 to everyone's surprise and Long Ren bestowed on her a fitting technique named 'Love illusion'. This technique is for females who are above 30 with flexible body. It consists of moves that seem to be a dance but in effect deadly if the right strength is used. Aarti though has only learned the basics and can only continue when she returns to Earth. So the sum total of this is; Clark and Aarti are now among the crew of cultivators. Now they can telepath. So back to story.
Today is Aarti and Clark's marriage anniversary and so they decided that now that they were still together,they should doit in an all new way, that's why there is this happy occassion.
Theresa has finished dancing and ran down the stage to her parents to hug them and then kissed both their cheeks.
"Papa, Mama, I love you so much. I want to be with you forever"she began to weep.
"Silly child! You'd still be taken by your future king but we can promise to help you beat him up if he pisses you off" said Aarti.
"No, I mean, can you stay here with me? The days without you and my bestie..."Theresa's sobs increased alerting the others.
"Daughter, who bullied you"
"Mistress are you alright?"
"Little one, what's the cause of your tears?"
"Bestie, what happened?"
Doctor Fu Jin, Ju Wei, Long Ren, Bai Lu Chen, Long Hua and Marabelle asked at the same time.
Theresa shook her head and wiped her tears.
"Nothing! I'm just crying...tears of happiness. I'm so happy" shesaid in a hoarse voice.
"If you are sad just say it, Mistress. I can feel it from our bond" said Long Ren.
"I felt it first" Bai Lu Chen cut in.
"Liar, I'm a spirit, I felt it first" Ju Wei cut in too. In no time, the good show started.
These three guys were pulling each others hair again.
Docotr Fu Jin sighed and drank his wine while Long Hua simply ate as much as he could.
"You three are really disobedient. How old are you? What's your job? The priority? The titles you possess are undeserving. I might be your little kid when it comes to age but in terms of sense, I'm far away from you three. Grow up will you?" Clark lectured. The trio stared at each other and ran towards Theresa.
"What are you doing?" Theresa was shocked at their action.
In no time, they changed into 3 year olds, the clothes they wore earlier fell to the ground and their n.a.k.e.d bodies were clear for all to see.
"AHHHHH"
"I'M N.A.K.E.D. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?"
"My mate's gonna roast me if she finds out"
They were paranoid for only a second before Bai Lu Chen began to laugh.
"Hahaha, Long Ren, you are so small there"
"You...aint you the same? Kettle calling pot black" Long Ren fired back.
Ju Wei simply took out a small cloth, covered himself and latched onto Theresa's legs.
" Mistress didn't put a restriction on me but you two. So I can hug her leg" Ju Wei stuck out his tongue.
"Shameless!" Bai Lu Chen and Long Ren muttered before heading towards Theresa's left leg.
Nothing would stop them.
Their mistress finally couldn't bear it and kicked both of them away and then picked Ju Wei by the cloth on his waist.
"Ah, grandmistress, put me down. I'm wrong okay. But I still deserve some dignity" Ju Wei cried
"Oh, you know how to be embarrassed huh? " she ruthlessly tossed him towards the other two without the cloth.
The trio now had hands on their crotches.
As she walked to them, their hearts were pounding.
" Mistress, we were wrong!" they cried.
"No, you weren't. You're all good at ruining events. It's a talent you know. I can also paint too. Let's use you three as paper today. I promise no one would recall your not clothed when I'm done" she said,an evil smirk on her lips.
" Mistress, I may be small now but I'm a full grown man. I deserve some dignity except Ju Wei" said Long Ren.
" What? Master, how can you do this to me. You started all this!" Ju Wei was unhappy. To worsen things, Bai Lu Chen was also on Long Ren's side.
" You trio, hands up!. A sweet smile on your faces" Theresa commanded.
They wanted to defy this command but a force made them obey. Gosh, why were they so stupid? Now look at them, barely any dignity left.
"Now turn around, hands on the floor and shake your butts" she ordered again.
" Mistress" Bai Lu Chen called out close to tears but she pretended not to see him. She had to be strict or else they might end up ruining her future wedding.
" Do it!" Theresa thundered.
No onenoticed that her eyes were darker and the trio didn't want to obey despite the force they felt.
Suddenly, Theresa took out the whip and lashed at Long Ren first. He immediately started bleeding at his shoulders. Everyone was shocked. What went wrong with her?
Before they could say something she had begun to mercilessly hit all three till they had so much scars all over their body.
But despite the bearings, their hands never left their crotch
When Theresa's eyes returned to normal, she saw badly bruised three lads,n.a.k.e.d and crying bitterly.
" I know we're wrong but did you have to disgrace us like this? We have our own dignity" Ju Wei cried.
Theresa looked at the whip in her hand. It was bloodied! Had she done this to both of them? No, she never meant to do this. Just wanted to tease them a little but this was too much.
She knelt down with reddened eyes.
" Ju Wei, Bai Lu Chen, Long Ren, I am sorry" she apologized, took three cloth from her storage ring and covered them.
" I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry" she kept muttering but it seems that they could no longer understand. Their eyes were devoid of life and just stared straight at her.
Marabelle ran to Theresa, worried.
" Bestie, what came over you? They are not three year olds you know. "
" Dad, Mom, they are not responding. What's happening. Foster dad, grandpa, are they fine?" she asked, tears running down her face.
" They are just ...just take them to your room and watch over them. They'll be fine" Fu King said with a knowing smile.
" Yeah, he's right. Theresa go on" Aarti added.
"Ok, I'll do it." Long Ren, and the other two were put in her storage ring before she left the room.
" Now let the party continue" Long Hua said after making a silence spell in the room just after Theresa left.
" Will she be fine?" Clark asked.
" She will. Her bond with them is too low that's why this happens. I want her to know their background and treat them well. Don't worry they'll be back soon" Long Hua said with a smile and Marabelle began to play her harp.
Meanwhile in Theresa's room, she took them out and placed them on her bed. Their injuries and blood were gone but they still stared into space
" I'm sorry. I promise to be more tolerating. No one's perfect, I've made a mistake. I'm sorry" she apologized again. The trio's eyes returned to normal and they got down the bed, changing to their real height . The cloth still on their waist. Then light covered them from head to toe for a minute. When it faded, they were all clothed . Long Ren wore while robes, Bai Lu Chen wore green robes while ju Wei wore gold robes. Their hair was lose with no hairpin to hold them in place.
Theresa turned around and sobbed. She couldn't bear to look at them after what she did.
" Mistress, it's okay" said Long Ren.
" We're fine now." said Bai Lu Chen.
Ju Wei didn't say a word.
" Mistress, we want to tell you our story" said Long Ren.
She turned around to look at them.
"Your story?"
