Chapter 85

    Theresa smiled.


    “Now you’re talking. Let’s get this done with. If I win, you’ll dominate me but if you lose, you must leave.” Theresa said as she dodged the water balls.


    A cultivator from Luo Ye must have the fire element but the disadvantage is that in battle if he gets drenched by water balls until he dries up, he won’t be able to shoot any fireballs.


    However if a cultivator from the water nation battles with one who has the lightning gift, he will suffer a bacsh instead.


    Only those who are very strong, are able to fight a fair match with those whose gifts are the bane of theirs. Now if Theresa gets drenched by water balls, she won’t be able to shoot any fireballs and that will be considered a loss. She had to be extra careful with this opponent of hers.


    “You really have some potential. Let’s continue this battle.” the woman said with a smirk andunched a fog ball at Theresa who dodged it andunched fireballs at the woman which she easily put out with water


    “I’m using fog why don’t you use fog too? Come on.” the woman said in a mocking tone as she shot fog balls to Theresa.


    “I am a furnace so I have all elements. Seems you haven’t tasted the power of a furnace yet.”


    “Oh! Then let me have the honor of experiencing it.” the woman said before reverting to shooting water balls.


    Theresa stopped shooting her fireballs and decided to just dodge the water balls. Sometimes she missed and the water touches a small part of her body but it has never touched her hand.


    “You have five rounds left. I can’t wait for them to finish. Let’s y a different game. I shoot three fireballs at you. If you dodge them, then I’ll allow you to continue your five rounds.” Theresa proposed.


    “Not bad. I’m in. I’d like to really crush you,” the woman said happily.


    “Let’s start, shall we?” Theresa asked.


    “Yes!” the woman eximed and Theresa gathered a pair of fireballs that were surrounded by the faint mist which she shot at the woman.


    The woman thought that it must be Theresa’s weak fireballs and did not dodge. She just shot arge water ball with one hand towards the iing fireballs only to find out that they weren’t put out instead they wereing towards her at a fast rate.


    “Gosh!” the woman eximed and shot water balls surrounded with fog towards the fireballs but instead, the water evaporated and the fog found a ce within the fireball and faint mist’s space and now instead of two, it was three elementsing for her.


    “You…” the woman was at a loss now.


    “Why is it not working?” she asked herself.


    “Idiot!” Theresa muttered and shot out seven water balls surrounded with lightning after the fireball surrounded with the woman’s ck fog and faint ink mist.


    Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, the woman took to her heels but no matter where she ran to, the water and fireballs always followed her. While she tried to dodge the fireballs, the water balls all hit her and her body caught fire due to the lightning, after all, lightning was her bane.


    She dropped weakly to the ground. Her once beautiful fair skin had been charred and she now looked ugly. Her clothes were nowhere to be found.


    “Now you look more like your true self dark qi. Will you leave now or still want the final shot?” Theresa asked with a smirk.


    “I was unprepared for the water balls.” the woman yelled.


    “I told you I’m a furnace and not just any kind of furnace,” Theresa saidzily.


    “I know you’re the legendary furnace but I just didn’t expect you to be able to shoot water balls by now after all you aren’t even in Foundation builder stage yet,” the woman said.


    She was gathering a very thick fog behind her and Theresa pretended not to know and yed along.


    “I’m a special girl. You expected an heiress of the Williams family to be ordinary?” she scoffed while the woman shook her head.


    “I admit defeat. Don’t wanna fight anymore!” the woman said with head bowed.


    “Okay. I’ve heard you.” Theresa said with a smile and without any warning shot her healer destroyer fireball to the woman’s face.


    The woman was shocked and the fog she’d been gathering dissipated.


    “You will regret this!” the woman yelled after sshing water on her face from her water ball.


    “Yeah, I’m regretting the fact that I didn’t use my healer destroyer sooner. You’re just dark qi. Dissipate!” Theresa saidzily before turning around and yelling: “I won!”


    The woman though unwilling, turned to a very thick ck fog and began to dissipate at a fast rate until there was nothing left. Theresa turned around and smiled.


    “It’s good to make use of one’s brain at the right time,” she muttered.


    Suddenly she heard a roar. The first thought that came to her mind was that it was the fire lion that  Long Ren had once told her about.


    Turning around, she saw that it was just a ck baby fox that had the ability to roar. Theresa picked it up and wanted to strangle it when the scene in front of her changed back to that of the secluded room.


    She looked around the room and saw no one else. She then recalled Marabelle.


    “I have to get to her. I will not let the killer go!”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Theresa then ran out of the secluded room and headed for her room where she found Ju Wei holding his crotch in pain. She looked at Long Ren who was sitting on a chairzily eating apples with eyes closed.


    She turned to look at Marabelle who was holding a stick.


    “Did you use that on Ju Wei?” she asked in German.


    “Hey, don’t youe near me? You must be a fake Theresa!” Marabelle yelled and Theresa facepalmed.


    “You who wanted to steal my Lovina every time you saw it, you dare to call me fake?” Theresa asked her hands akimbo.


    “Err? Lovina?” Marabelle asked.


    “Yes. Lovina. Did it survive the crash?” she asked.


    “Yes, it did. And Theresa where is this ce?” Marabelle asked.


    “This is a fantasy world where people are born with superpowers.” she exined.


    “I don’t know how I got here but I’m d I’m with you. But who are these two?” Marabelle asked. “I caught one of them trying to take advantage of me when I woke up.”


    “The one in pain? That’s Ju Wei and the onezily eating apples is Long Ren. He’s a fox and the other is a spirit!”


    “Like for real or just their character?” Marabelle asked.


    “Yes, for real,” Theresa said before walking to Ju Wei.


    “You deserve it,” she said in Chinese before walking towards Long Ren.


    “Mistress, congrattions!” Long Ren said in a hoarse voice.


    “Thank you. Now turn into a fox. I haven’t carried foxy for a while.”Theresamanded.


    “Mistress?”


    “Now!”


    “Yes, mistress,” he muttered and transformed back to his fox form stunning Marabelle.


    Theresa picked him up and caressed his fur.


    “Just now he was human. How?” Marabelle had still not registered what happened just now.


    “You can hold him,” she said as she handed Long Ren to Marabelle but she rejected him and retreated.


    “What? Are you scared?” Theresa asked.


    “Err… I think you should keep him. Besides, I’m not fond of animals.” Marabelle hurriedly said.


    “Marabelle, you hate animals? Especially furry and pure ones like this one?” Theresa asked with a smile.


    “Eh… let me hold him for a while.” Marabelle gave in despite her fear. She carried Long Ren and patted his head.


    Long Ren wasn’t happy with this development. Thest time something like this happened, Mistress almost lost her life.


    “Calm down, Long Ren. She’s my sister.” she said to him telepathically.


    “Mistress, I really want to breathe out green fire on this girl. I’m very ufortable.” Long Renined.


    “Just bear it. Then I’ll let you y, okay?”


    “Mistress, I’m no kid.”


    “Theresa, what are you doing? Are having a staring contest with your fox?” Marabelle asked.


    “No. I just want to make sure he doesn’t disobey.” she then sat on the bed and sighed.


    “Is my father alright? How did my mama die?” she asked.


    “Well…” Marabelle exhaled and sat on the chair beside the bed after cing Long Ren on Theresa’sps.


    “Your dad couldn’t be consoled on her funeral in India”


    “Wait, my mama’s already buried?”


    “Yes, your dad, though he tries to look strong, always break down and cries at night. I’m sure of it since I’ve seen him recently at a bar crying while drinking his 17th bottle of beer with your mama’s picture in one hand. Your father misses her and also you. He wanted you found at all costs even putting up arge sum of money as a reward if you were found either dead or alive but he suddenly stopped the search for you. I dunno why.” Marabelle exined.


    “I am at fault. If I didn’t insist on going to the damn concert, all these wouldn’t have happened and also those people wouldn’t have died. Those people died because of me.” Theresa said in a shaky voice.


    “Theresa, my best buddy, don’t say that.”


    “But I’m not wrong. If I didn’t enter that ne, they wouldn’t have died. Those people have families and loved ones. But because of me, they were separated from them. Tell me, how… how do I go about this. How can I forgive myself? Because of me, my sweet mama died and I put father in pain. I’m a sinner. A gross sinner! I once thought that the man who sat with me on the airne was deserving of death a thousand times. But the fact is that… I am worse off than him. Marabelle, Paul died because of me too.” Theresa couldn’t hold it anymore and started crying.


    Long Ren couldn’t understand German so he didn’t know why his mistress was crying. Still, he felt bad for her.


    “Mistress, are you alright?” he asked telepathically.


    “I dunno. I don’t know why things turned out to be like this. I just wanted to see my favorite singer but what did I get?”


    Long Ren left Theresa’s bosom and disappeared. Marabelle wasn’t that shocked anymore.


    “Theresa, don’t cry. It’s alright.”


    “But it’s not. Don’t give me false hope,” said Theresa. Marabelle got up from the chair and hugged Theresa petting her back gently.


    “I deserve to die.” Theresa cried.


    “Eish, don’t say that. You are the innocent Theresa that I’ve known from kindergarten. My best buddy.” Marabelle consoled.


    Ju Wei just stared at both of them not knowing what to say or do. He was at a loss. He didn’t even understand what they’d been talking about. He walked to the chair that Long Ren earlier sat on and sat only for the chair to disappear. Ju Wei ended up falling to the floor.


    “Master is still the same. Stingy!” Ju Wei said unhappily.
