A Tale of Chase and Love s1

” Help me, someone!” Ling cried out.

He didn’t wanna stay here even a minute longer. He still couldn’t believe that his reading had caused this creepy situation. Ah, he wanted to go back in time.

At this very moment, baby Yao and the duo (Lan and Li Hua) appeared covered in yellow light which faded in less than 2 seconds.

“Gosh! What’s this?” Lan exclaimed in shock.

In all her life she’d never seen anything like it. Baby Yao frowned as she looked at the direction the corpses were facing and even her… mum?

“Good! Very good!” she muttered before raising her left hand and the book flew to her and hovered in mid-air.

Lan tried to see what was in the book but was stunned to see that she couldn’t read it.

“Don’t waste your time. The blind can’t see it.” baby Yao said sarcastically and Lan fumed but Li Hua chided her.

“Tsk! I’ll forgive her for now.” she muttered in annoyance.

Baby Yao turned the pages and finally found what she was looking for.

“Li sina szen chzoo aran bi ma.” she recited and the corpses flew back to their bed and everything in the room became normal except for a certain someone- Vanessa.

“Baby Yao, I’m glad your back,” Ling said gratefully amidst pants.

“Blockhead!” baby Yao muttered with ire.

“Sir, you’re the father?” Li Hua asked politely

“Yes, I am,” Ling replied.

It was now he realized that besides his precious baby Yao were two people who were dressed normally. He wondered why she brought them here. Maybe they aren’t ordinary, seeing as they weren’t too freaked out earlier when they arrived. Things gotta return to normal fast or he might go insane soon.

“You better leave us and wait outside,” baby Yao said in annoyance.

“What about…” Ling was still worried about his wife.

“Sir, please leave. We need to do something important. Trust me, things will go well. Nothing bad will happen,” Li Hua gently convinced Ling.

“I’ll go but please, call me if there’s anything I can do.” Ling reminded.

“Just leave. We don’t need you here,” Lan said unhappily.

“Fine, fine, I’m leaving now. Take care!” Ling said and then walked out of the room; not forgetting to close the door behind him.

He saw that everyone was still frozen in place and sighed before sitting on the bare floor. He’d rather stay close to them. Just in case.

He wouldn’t go far from his family even if his baby didn’t like him at the moment.

Inside the morgue room.

“So what do we do now?” Lan impatiently asked, tapping her left foot on the ground.

“We start now,” baby Yao replied. “What powers do you two have?” she asked.

“Err… fire and teleport,” replied Li Hua.

“Oh, you have the same abilities then. I should have just picked one of you instead. Can’t believe I wasted my precious energy on an extra.” baby Yao complained while targeting a certain someone and as she expected that someone lost all control.

“Who are you calling an extra? You should just send me back home then. I never wanted to be here anyway. You forced us to be here. Just send me back. I’m tired of this place.” Lan spat in annoyance.

“Wow! I forced you to come here? Really? Your sure?” baby Yao asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Let’s stop fighting here. We’re here to help someone and let’s do so to the best of our ability, alright?” Li Hua preached.

“We? Our? You make a decision without telling me! I am not gonna help a zombie.” Lan spat.

She was slowly gathering a fireball which showed the extent of her ire.

“My mom’s a zombie? Wow! You perfectly described her. Now, please leave. I don’t need blind, dumb extras.” baby Yao was also fighting to control her ire too.

“Lan, listen to me. I know you don’t like this kind of place but a life is ebbing away.”

“On other days, you wouldn’t care. But coz it’s royalty and a chance to be rich and famous along with bountiful benefits attached to this mission, you suddenly wanna save a life. And what ebbing away? That zombie is clearly alive and kicking. Look at her overflowing energy!” Lan refuted any chances of Li Hua convincing her.

Pa!

Li Hua finally couldn’t control herself anymore at Lan’s antics and landed a very hot slap on her left cheek.

“LAN!” Li Hua yelled. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?”

“Me?… Li Hua, shouldn’t I be asking you that? You have never hit me… but for her… this runt…”

“I’m a fairy princess!” baby Yao corrected.

“Shut up!” Lan barked, her eyes darkened.

Pa!

Another slap landed on Lan’s face. This time, it was baby Yao.

Lan was tossed to a corner from the impact. Instead of crying, she smiled.

“Good! I’m done here now. I’m just an extra, so you guys don’t need me. I’m out of here.” Lan stormed out of the room.

“Lan?” Li Hua called after Lan but baby Yao patted her shoulder with an evil smile that held deep meaning.

“If she hadn’t left, I would have killed her.” baby Yao spat. “Let’s begin now shall we?”

Lan nodded slowly and walked towards the living ‘corpse’ who had been tied up by baby Yao earlier when Lan and Li Hua were quarreling.

Outside the morgue room.

Ling was getting bored sitting around. He hadn’t heard Lan and Li Hua’s quarrel and he wasn’t in the mood to look at his phone coz he’d switched it off.

But these frozen humans here weren’t helping. At least they wouldn’t eat him. He wanted to go in and see how Vanny was doing but he dared not.

So when the door opened, he immediately sprang up to his feet only for him to see Lan storm out.

“Miss, how is she?” he asked.

“Get lost!” she spat before vanishing.
