It had been two months since Ye Hua's wedding. He was wallowing in his marital bliss and the heavens were returning to normalcy. It was a known fact that Tianjun Ye Hua and his empress were well matched and loved each other dearly. Mo Yuan had visited Ye Hua one day and caught them at their own hot spring. "Cat tails and dragon scales!" Mo Yuan had laughed out loud. "Now you understand, Didi, now you understand!" Ye Hua apologized for all the times he knew that he had interrupted his Da ge. "Da ge, I can now say I'm truly sorry for all the times I interrupted your fun! You needed to see me?" "Sadly, yes. It's time for me to return to Kunlun. I must admit it will be hard for me. I will miss you and especially my oldest sons. They have become a part of the nine heavens and belong here with you. It will be hard, but Qian Qian wants to have the quads at Kunlun. You understand don't you?" Ye Hua had to catch his breath because he wanted to sob his frustration. He lowered his head for a moment and finally grabbed his brother and sobbed into his shoulder. "Da ge.....I know......but it....doesn't..... Make it .....easy." Mo Yuan smoothed his hand over the back of Ye Hua's head. If only they had been born together. *sigh* "Didi, remember I'm just a call away. Always. Besides, I'm God of War. Hopefully you will never need me as such. When we are ready to leave, I will call you." Ye Hua watched his back as he walked out. He was watching the bravest, kindest, patient, most ruthless man he knew. And he loved him.
Baohu and Jinzi had taken themselves over to the training ground to practice. They both had developed their hand attack pretty good. In fact, unknown to JinDe, they had volunteers from within the ranks. They were knocking men down when JinDe decided to send his father a message. Mo Yuan had just left Ye Hua and was feeling down so he was ready for a diversion. He was going to walk into the camp, but he decided to prank the foxes. He jumped straight behind JinDe. He changed his appearance to look like a regular soldier. He volunteered. He was running at them hard. They tried for all they were worth but couldn't knock him down. He was almost upon them when Jinzi let out a beam of power at his feet and knocked him over. He removed his disguise. "Fuqin! You pranked us!" Mo Yuan stood up, dusted himself off and smiled. "Not bad, not bad! You two have been practicing! Very good!" "Fuqin, Baohu tell men how you powerful dragon and make four babies at once! Very powerful!" When those closest to them heard Baohu they all snickered and grinned. Baohu put his hands on his hips and shook his finger at them. "You laugh now, but Fuqin is powerful. Blow up whole camp if he wanted to. Burn down nine heavens. Isn't that right, Fuqin!" "Yeah, Fuqin! Isn't that right!" Put on the spot by his foxes, he sighed. "Yes, I could, but these men are our friends and allies. I would never hurt them on purpose. They know this." When he said the words he scanned the crowd. They were all nodding agreement. "Let's learn a new spell. Like this!". He bound them with magic. " See if you can get out of that!" They both struggled and fell over. Finally Jinzi grinned, shifted to his fox and escaped. Baohu followed. They both grinned. "Hmmm. Shifting. Good but doesn't always work. Strategy is important when you are captured. Name another way to protect yourself?" Jinzi grinned. "Jinzi put up barrier. Be safe behind barrier." "Do it and let's see." Jinzi threw up his strongest barrier. On the third try, Mo Yuan bound him. Jinzi was frustrated. He struggled trying to get free. He concentrated his magic to his finger and shot a bolt at the binding, shattering it. He grinned. Mo Yuan was taken by surprise. That had been a strong spell. He made up his mind to start training as soon as they were home. "That is all for now. We are getting ready to return to Kunlun." There was a collective "no" from the soldiers and a sadness in their eyes. It seems they had quite an affection for the little foxes. "They will come visit!" He walked them toward JinDe. "Join us in the morning, JinDe. We leave for Kunlun then!"
Everyone had eaten breakfast and their bags were all packed. Bai Xue and Meili, JinDe and Mei Ying, Ye Hua and Bao Feng Yu were there to say goodbye. Donghua Dijun came as well. When he walked in, Baohu talked to him. "Baohu say goodbye to Dijun now. Don't need to touch you anymore. Just talk." Dijun smiled. "Indeed, little fox. I will see you again!" Mo Yuan hated goodbyes. In his mind, he hoped to always see someone again. "I won't say goodbye. This is only a temporary parting. I must return to my duties at Kunlun. You can all visit me there. He called a cloud and loaded their things. Everyone was on board. He nodded and they jumped to Kunlun. He flew as fast as he could. He didn't want Qian Qian or the boys to see the tears in his own eyes. He put them down at the gates of Kunlun. All of the disciples were there to greet there Shifu and his family. "Welcome home, Shifu!" Die Feng stepped forward and bowed. "All of the reports are in your study. Is there anything new we should know?" He smiled and cut his eyes toward Bai Qian. "We will discuss all changes later. First we will settle in and tomorrow we will talk." All of their baggage disappeared to their rooms as they jumped to the main hall. Die Feng was standing awaiting orders. Zi Lan came in and bowed. "Shifu! I'm glad you're back! And my Xiao hulis!! I've heard about them!" They ran over to Zi Lan and both started talking so fast he could hardly keep up.
Mo Yuan saw that Bai Qian was tired, so he stood up and went to her side. "How about a nice little fox nap? Let me take you to our room. It's been a while since we were here. Plenty of peace and quiet." "Yes, I believe I will. How about to our pavilion? It's really quiet there and a dragon can be naughty if he wants." There was a glint of mischief in her eyes as he raised his brows. "Oh? Do you know a naughty dragon?" "Why yes, I do. Sometimes he is quite naughty. He's been known to do some very naughty things. In fact, I happen to know he likes for me to kiss his snout, scratch behind his ears, scratch his belly AND.....(his breath hissed in, his eyes turned gold and he stared into her beautiful doe eyes) he loves for me to take his favorite oil, (hmm hmm), rub my hands together, (hmm hmm) and massage his very large sack(hmmmm hmm) and then"......he jumped them straight to their pavilion. Some time later a rather sated, very smug dragon jumped them to their room so his fox could rest.
The next morning he sent messages to Bai Zhen and Bai Zhi. He wanted his Xiao hulis to learn some more fox magic. They were ready. Die Feng brought reports after breakfast. He reported progress. " Shifu, while you were gone, training stagnated a bit because you were not here to show us any new things. Classes have gone well. Overall, we have maintained." "Good! I will resume sword and weapon training tomorrow. There are some changes to be made. Your Mistress is pregnant again." A smile broke out on Die Feng's face. Mo Yuan held up his hand to stop his comment. "This pregnancy is going to get more difficult as it goes. Qian Qian is expecting four babies. From what Baohu is saying, they are all girls." Die Feng nearly fell over. "Four, Shifu?!?" "Yes. As she gets further along she will need a lot of help getting around. She's just over 12 months now. As you can see, she's large. Have Chang Shan come see me. I need to discuss her eating too. I will set our schedules soon and have you post them. Dismissed." Just a few minutes later Chang Shan knocked. "Enter." "Shifu, you asked to see me?" "Yes, I did. I'm sure Die Feng told you your Mistress is pregnant again?" "Yes, Shifu! I'm very excited to be able to cook for her! I'll cook what she needs, rest assured!" "I had no doubts about your ability to keep her well fed. Let's just feed her well without her realizing we are. Plenty of fruits and snacks that are good for her. That is all."
The changes were subtle. The disciples were always there to help her. She was drinking tea in the great hall when her father and mother arrived. Her mother looked at her rather rotund shape and frowned. "Qian Qian, aren't you rather large to be only over one year?" Mo Yuan walked in and greeted them. "She would be, but this pregnancy is special. She is carrying four babies!" Both Bai Zhi and Bai Zhe Zhe snapped around to look at him. "What?!?!?" "Yes, father! Four! And you haven't met the fox twins yet. Should I send for them?" "I've heard much about them and I am here to spend a month with them to train. Please send for them." Mo Yuan sent eighth to get them. A few minutes later they came running in. They ran to their father and stood in front of him. "Please meet Bai Zhi Jinzi and Bai Baohu Zhe. Boys, these are your grandparents, Fox Emperor Bai Zhi and his empress Bai Zhe Zhe." Baohu spoke direct into his grandfather's mind. "Are you my zufu?" Bai Zhi looked at Mo Yuan. "So who is the mind talker?" Mo Yuan pushed Baohu forward. "This is Baohu. He is the mind talker. Also very full of mischief like his mother. This is Jinzi. He is rather kind hearted, patient and reserved. He has healing talents but he houses great power when pressed. I wish for them to train under you. I've told them you are very powerful." Both boys talked at once. "Are you really powerful, Zufu? Can you teach us fox magic? Are you powerful like Fuqin? Will you teach us to use our tails?" Bai Zhi laughed and sat down to let them come to him. "Well, I'm powerful, but probably not quite as powerful as your Fuqin. Yes, I will teach you how to use your tails. Let me see your fox forms now." They transformed and he was spellbound. "I have never seen such beauty in all my days! Look at them, Zhe Zhe! Aren't they beautiful? So they get the gold from your dragon and the white from Qian Qian! I'm amazed. Totally amazed!" They changed back. "You like Baohu and Jinzi foxes Zufu? We pretty like you say?" He took one on each knee. "Zufu will have to make it a point to spend more time here to help you train. Tomorrow I will show you my fox. How about that?" Arms around his neck and little fox kisses was his answer. Mo Yuan sent them off. "Run along now! Tomorrow your Zufu will work you hard!!" "So, Bai Zhi, what do you think of our Xiao Jin Hulis?" "Mo Yuan, Qian Qian, they are delightful! I'm very impressed! I will definitely want to help train them! Their fox magic should be very strong since it is enhanced by your dragon essence. I must admit I'm intrigued." "Bai Zhen spent some time with them. They know barriers well and how to break them. I've been teaching them defensive magic using only their hands. They are doing well there. As you can see, Baohu has mind powers, much like me. I'm waiting to see what Jinzi has hidden. That's why I wanted you here. I also wanted both of you to be here when Qian Qian has the babies. Zhe Yan said she is doing well but it's possible they would be very early. I'll need everyone there with strong magic to aide their birth. Can I count on you?" Without hesitation Bai Zhi agreed. "Yes, you can count on us! I can spend time with the little ones and be here for Qian Qian. Right, Zhe Zhe?" "Right dear! I also want to spend some time with my Sunzis. They are quite beautiful!"
A year passed slowly but the foxes had flourished under their zufu Bai Zhi. Their fox magic had improved greatly. In fact, they had taken to trying to catch their father unaware. He could always block them, but it had become a game of sorts. It also enhanced Mo Yuan's dragon senses. He had to admit years of living without war had made his dragon quite lazy. He was up for a new challenge. He was rounding the corner to the great hall when he sensed them. Acting as if nothing was amiss, he opened his dragon senses. That attacked from two sides. He barely missed one hand when the other came. He caught them and tucked one under each arm. "Gotcha! Tried to catch Fuqin off guard again, didn't you?" "Fuqin, how you stay so fast?" Baohu complained. "Jinzi told Baohu Fuqin not old and Fuqin not slow! We never beat Fuqin!" "Don't give up! The day may come when you can catch me!" He set them on their feet. "Aren't you two supposed to be in classes? Hmmm?" "Uh oh! We forget! By Fuqin! Die Feng will skin us if we bad late!" Mo Yuan laughed and shook his head. They had done well this past year. Very well indeed. He continued to the hall. Bai Qian was struggling to walk with the help of Zi Lan.
"Shiqi, why are you so stubborn? Call Shifu to you! You need him not me!" "Mo Yuan has enough to worry about without him fussing over me! Now be quiet and just help me get to the hall!" "What's this I hear about me fussing over you?" Mo Yuan smiled at her. Zi Lan bowed. "Shifu, I tried to tell her but she's too stubborn!" "It's alright, Shiliu, I'll take it from here." He reached Qian Qian's side and swooped her up into his arms. He placed her on her spot and poured tea for her. "Show off! I'm very heavy and you make it look easy!" "Qian Qian, You now you will always be light as a feather to me! So how are my girls feeling today?" He blew a little smoke across her stomach and placed his hand on her. He passed a little energy and waited. The kicking began. "Mo Yuan! Must you make them beat me to death! They are very active!" "I'm sorry but I love to feel them! We better be thinking of some names too. Four girls is going to be tough!" "We'll wait and see what they look like. Are you going to call JinDe and Xue? I want them here, please." "Yes, I'm going to call them. Shiliu can cloud jump almost as fast as me. I will send him when the time comes." "Very well. Or you could just talk to Ye Hua. I know you two have been working on your connection." "An excellent idea! Are you really feeling ok? I heard your mother earlier. She is going to spend time with the twins today. They tried to get me again." "Admit it! You enjoy the thrill of the game, don't you?" His eyes turned gold and he moved closer. His low growl and purr made her tingle. "I'm always 'up', if you know what I mean, my Xiao Huli." "Mo Yuan, you're terrible! Just terrible! Now carry me back to our room, I want to nap." He swept her up and jumped to their room.
