Chapter 97: Catch The Cat (4) (1/2)

Reis is sprawled on the top of the wall, sunbathing in the winter. He has not been visiting Fang Aisa sneakily recently. So far, she is living happily without him. Sometimes, he thinks about the days that they have spent. Those 8 years. He wonders if he ever had a chance. Maybe not. She has always been love with Sung Jun. She has never seen him as more than a friend. He's happy watching his person living a happy life.

”I found you.” Bae Ri Na smiles at the cat. It's been two decades years since she has met him. After going through her uncle's hellish training, she has finally tracked the cat.

Reis opens his mismatched eyes and looks at the girl. Cats are famous these days. Random humans are always cooing at him because he's a handsome cat. He decides to ignore her and go back to sleep.

”It's you.” She bends down on her one knee and opens the box. ”Marry me. I have fallen in love with you since the day you scratched my hand and made me bleed. I love your face the most. You are exceptionally handsome. You are also kind. You healed my hand before you left. I didn't even get a scar.”

Reis opens his eyes, bothered by what he has just heard. He eyes the box with indifference. There is a cat collar with studded diamonds. There are different types of humans. But, this one is a lunatic.

”I am the god of time,” He tells her with a warning tone. ”Human, I will let you off because you are someone who is important to her.”

She presses her lips together. There is a short silence. Then, she says, ”Rene Reis, isn't it time to get over my married aunt? You are acting like a creep. It's been decades. How long are you going to stay single? Marry me. I will make you happy. I am cute too.”

Reis doesn't find her cute. He finds her the most annoying human at this moment. ”Watch your words.”

He will kill her if he stays here for one more moment. He gets up and disappears. He reappears somewhere in the tropical forest. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. He won't go back and kill that human. No, he won't. She's someone important to -

”Reis.” The girl suddenly materializes behind him. ”I will tell you the benefits of marrying me. Wait... where are you going?”

He vanishes again. She keeps following him everywhere around the globe.

She yells as she runs behind him. ”I am cute. I know how to cook. My figure is top-notch. I have a good academic record. I am the third youngest cultivator to reach the highest rank. I am sure that I can become a minor god if I go for the test.”

Reis isn't even listening to her crap. He jumps from branch to branch. For 3 years, she chases him around. Not letting him rest for a moment. One day, she drops to the ground in exhaustion. Reis watches the girl from afar. He waits for a few hours. When she makes no movement, he walks to her cautiously. He lowers his head to sense her breathing. This girl has been relentlessly pursuing him. Wherever he goes, she appears. Who taught her to track a god? Sung Jun. It must be that shaman's work.

He changes to his human form. He should take this girl and drop her at Fang Aisa's home. He can't leave her here in the wild to become someone else' food. Suddenly, She snaps her eyes open and grabs his neck. She smooches his lips. He is too shocked to react.

”Kissing you for real is better than imagining it.” She glances at the collar on his neck. ”I have put it on. You are mine.”

She passes out again. Reis resists the urge to choke her right then. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. It takes everything in him to resist killing her.

Later, she's found by Sung Jun in front of the door of his house.

Bae Ri Na isn't someone who will give up especially after tasting his lips and confirming her feelings. She keeps chasing him everywhere. After a few more years, Reis is too exhausted to run from her. He decides to just ignore her existence.
