Young Miss, Please Don't Run

After almost 2 long months of training, Ba Yue is finally back home. As she enters the front door, she saw someone running fast toward her. She squeezed her eyes to see who it was since it last at night and it's very dark outside. It's the 7th prince, Mak Lok Son and behind him is her father.

The guards at the front door saw her walking back and immediately rushes in to report it to Master Ba and the 7th prince, that's why they had rush out to welcome her back.

"Little Yue, you're finally back! I miss you so much, how can go training without telling me?"Said Lok Son with his depressed voice and teary eyes.

"Aren't I back now, stop whining like a girl! You are a man, so be a man! says Ba Yue, as she walks pass by Lok Son and heads straight to her father's side.

"Father, I'm back"

"Good, good, go inside and wash up. Have you eaten yet, would you like some food before you go to rest," asked Ba Shao Ten.

"Father. I'm very tired and I want to rest for tonight. I'll have breakfast with you in the morning, okay?"

As Ba Yue was about to turn to go inside the residence with her father. She suddenly stops and turns to look at Lok Son. She placed something fluffy and white on his arms and said, "here, I found this little fellow while training. His name is Little Red. You can have fun with him for a while, but you have to give him back to me later."

"Wow, he's so cute! I'll take good care of him! Go rest, little Yue, I'll see you in the morning."

Ba Yue then heads back into the residence with her father. There was no one else outside but Lok Son and little Red. The 2 pairs of eyes are looking at each other with no sound coming from them.

Lok Son stared coldly at little Red and finally said, "What's a god beast doing here, you are not from this world. I know you have the intelligence to understand what I'm saying so don't pretend you don't know."

Suddenly little Red jump off his arms and stared cautiously at Lok Son.

"Who are you and why do you know about god beast? No human from this lower plane world should know about us." Said little Red in human language.

"You don't have to know who I am, just know that if you ever hurt little Yue, I won't let you off easy!" says Lok Son in a super cold voice tone.

"You don't have to worry, I won't hurt her. She the master that I have chosen, I can sense that she is from the same world as me. I know in the future, she will go back there and can bring me back with her."

"Same world as you? That's impossible, little Yue was born in this world with real parents."

"I'm not talking about her body, I can sense it in her soul!"

"Her soul, huh? I don't care if she's from another world or not. She's the one that's going to be my wife and you better remember what you said today. If you ever hurt her, I'll skewer you!"

"I won't stop you from forming a contract with little Yue, but she has to willingly form it with you. You cannot forcefully form a contract without her permission. And this conversation we have here tonight cannot be known by little Yue. You also cannot speak in the human language in front of her, not at least until a contract is formed and you have become her official contracted beast."

Little Red nodded in agreement, Lo Son then picks little Red up and goes back into the residence. He has changed back to his old self as if the person that was talking to little Red was never there in the first place.

The next morning, Ba Yue got up early and head straight to the dining room for breakfast. She's hungry because she didn't get to eat dinner last night. She came back home late last night, she had to wash up and then clean up the wounds from the battle with the tiger beast. She was so tired that she didn't eat anything and went straight to sleep.

When she arrived at the dining room, her father and Lok Son were already there. They were talking about something and Lok Son was patting Little Red whose laying comfortably on his lap.

"Oh, ah Yue, you are early this morning. I was going to send someone to go get you to come out for breastfast. I know you must be hungry so I had the kitchen staff cook earlier this morning."

"Good Morning, Father. Yes, I'm staving right now."

"Good Morning, little Yue. How was your rest last night? Tell me about your training, did you get a lot stronger?"

"I did get a little stronger and I've rested well last night. It's was the best rest I had since I've been away. Sleeping on the bed is the best, I just wish I can bring a bed with me the next time I have to sleep outside."

Ba Shao Ten looked like he was thinking about something when he heard Ba Yue said that. He remembers there's such a thing called "space storage", and it could be in the form of any kind of Jewelry. The size of the space jewelry varies, the bigger the storage space is, the rarer it is.

Space jewelry is extremely rare, especially here in this very small Fu country. There's probably about 5 of that item is available here in this small country. One of the space jewelry is in the hands of the Emperor. And the rest is in the hands of the head of the 4 big families.

The four big families stores their family heirloom and collection of rare treasures in the space jewelry and pass it on to the next head. So Ba Shao Ten had one in his hand, but he can't give it to Ba Yue. He plans to give it to Ba Zi when he takes of the family head position.

But he remembered a very long time ago, his wife had one! He doesn't know where she got it from, but she had one since they've met! He doesn't know much about his wife's background too much and she seems like a person suddenly came out of nowhere one day. But it didn't matter to Ba Shao Ten, it was love at first sight. So he married her against everyone else's wishes.

He plans to give "that" room to Ba Yue after the annual martial competition, he can also mention about the space jewelry so she can try to look for it in that room, though Ba Shao Ten.

"Father, when are my two brothers coming back? The competition is going to start tomorrow." Asked Ba Yue as she tries to fill her bowl with food. The food came out and was served while they were talking.

"They'll be back later tonight, so get ready and sleep early tonight. And Lok Son, I think it's time for you to go home. It's been a long time since you stayed here already, and the emperor has asked you to go back a few times now. The reason for your refusal to go back was because you want to wait for ah Yue to come back. Ah Yue is back now, you should go back and see your imperial father."

"Father in law, you kicking me out already? Did I do something wrong? I promise I will train to be a good househusband to take care of little Yue," says Lok Son with tears in his eyes.

Little Red lifted up his head to look at Mak Lok Son for a second and lay back down on his lap. He thinks to himself that this man really knows how to act. But he won't expose him, he doesn't want to make an enemy out of this man. He could sense a very strong power from him, he's dangerous!

Ba Yue and her father almost choked on their food when they heard Lok Son said that.

"Lok Son, I'm not kicking you out, I just want you to back for a while. I'm sure the emperor misses you, so you should at least go see him. You are always welcome back here. And where did you learn the word househusband?" asked Master Ba.

"I heard it from the maids, they said that little Yue is outside training and I'm at home waiting for her to come back. I'm similar to a housewife and since I'm a man, I can't be a housewife but can be a househusband instead."

"Those maids have no idea what they are saying, I'm going have to warn them to stop sprawling nonsense," said Master Ba with an annoyed voice.

"Lok Son, you don't have to train to be a househusband. I don't need one and will never need one. The man that will be with me needs to be strong! So if you have time doing nothing here, you might as well go do some training."

"I see, little Yue, you like a strong man. I will go see imperial father now and then go training as you did." Mak Lok Son just got up and ran out the door like the wind without giving a chance for anyone else to speak.

"Ah Yue, why did you said that? Lok Son's probably going take your words for it and go do something unnecessary."

"That's the point, father. I'm giving him something to do, so he won't be here all the time to bother us," said Ba Yue, as she picks up little Red off the floor where Lok Son placed him before he went out.

Little Red looked at his young master with pity in his eyes, but Ba Yue didn't notice at all. He thinks to himself, "young master you have been tricked! Please wake up and see the real him! I really can't watch this anymore, is it too late to change master now?"

Ba Yue had no idea what little Red is thinking and continue with her breakfast happily.
