     Mo Yuan landed hard by Zhe Yan's hut.  Zhe Yan came running out quickly when he heard the hard landing.  "What's happened, my brother?"  "Bai Xue has been bitten by the snake queen, She Shing Ti.  He is unconscious right now.  I need you to come now please!"  "One moment."  He went into his hut and came out with a basket full of bottles.  "Let's go."  Mo Yuan jumped so fast Zhe Yan was sure he left part of himself behind.  Xue had been taken to his room in his father's palace.  Jinde had removed his robes and covered him with a quilt.  Baohu and Jinzi were helping him.  Jinzi was cleaning the wound on his front shoulder when Mo Yuan arrived with Zhe Yan.  The bite was ugly and inflamed.  She had bitten him on his shoulder and back.  His face was pale and a sickly gray color.  Zhe Yan assessed the situation quickly.  He gave Xue three elixers right away.  "Jinzi, I need you to get the herbs I need.  Remember the last lesson I gave you?  Get those!"  He ran out the door and had a maid take him directly to the medicine king.  He was back before Zhe Yan had cleaned the wound.  "Here are all the herbs you needed, Shushu.  What else can I get?"  "Bandages and balm.  That will be it for now."  Zhe Yan and Jinzi cleaned and dressed Xue's wounds and bandaged him nice and neat.  He was laid down to rest.  Slowly his eyes opened.  His vision was slightly blurred.  "Fuqin?"  Mo Yuan sat beside him and took his hand.  "I'm here, Xue.  What can Fuqin get for you?"  "My boys are ok?"  "Your mother protected them."  "Good. Good."  "How do you feel now?"  "Better, but strange.  What did she do, Fuqin?"  Zhe Yan will have to tell you.  I don't know.  Jinzi is here with him.  Baohu has been dying to talk to you.  Do you wish to see him?"  "Yes, bring him."  Mo Yuan turned and motioned for Baohu to come forward.  "Da ge!  Are you ok now?  Can you get rid of that nasty snake venom?  Does Jinzi need to heal you more?"  A slight smile came across Bai Xue's face.  "Other than my vision being blurred, I feel like I will be ok.  You can stay with me, if you wish."  "Jinzi and I will stay, Da ge.  We will tend you."  "JinDe?  Where are you?"  Jinde knelt by the bed and took his brother's hand.  "I'm here, Da ge.  I'm here!"  "You were magnificent when you stabbed the snake's snout.  Like poetry in motion.  I guess our training sessions have paid off."  He coughed up blood.  JinDe took a cloth from Jinzi and wiped his face softly.  "Do you want me to bring Fenli and Ali?  They are very afraid for you."  "Yes, bring them please.  I wish to see them before I rest.  Fuqin, will you watch over them while I am ill?"  "Yes, your mother and I will take care of them.  Don't worry."
     Bai Qian brought the boys in to see their Fuqin.  Mo Yuan took them aside for a minute.  "Your Fuqin wishes to see you.  He is very weak and needs to rest.  Just tell him you love him, ok?"  "Zufu we be good!"  "Xue, your boys are here."  He opened his eyes and smiled at them.  Fenli patted his face.  Ali patted his shoulder.  Ali spoke to him first.  "Fuqin, you be ok now?  Nasty snake not kill you?"  "Fuqin will be ok, I just need rest.  Nasty snake is dead now.  Don't worry.  Fuqin just needs to sleep.  Stay with Zufu while I rest ok?  Fuqin loves you!"  His eyes closed and he went to sleep.  Baohu and Jinzi stayed in his room.  A bed was brought in for them to tend their brother.  Everyone else left.  They went to the garden and sat down there.  JinDe asked Zhe Yan a question that was on his mind.  "Shushu Zhe Yan, why is Da ge's vision blurry?  Is it the snake venom?  Will he always have blurry vision?"  Zhe Yan thought a moment before he answered.  "The wound he received was very serious.  Because you acted quickly against her, she didn't really get to sink her fangs in deep.  He still took a bad bite.  It will take time and elixers to get him well.  I'm going to Kunlun to make the elixers.  Everything I need is there and Chang Shan can assist me.  I'll be back as quickly as I can with them.  He will need two of them a day.  These and rest should get him back to normal.  I wish to take Jinzi with me to make the elixers too.  He is learning fast and is becoming an excellent healer.  Go get him, JinDe and we can leave."  JinDe left and came back with Jinzi.  "You called for me Shushu Zhe Yan?"  "I'm taking you with me to Kunlun to make elixers for Bai Xue.  If you are ready, we will leave now."  "I'm ready.  Da ge needs me."  They left and left the rest in the garden.  "JinDe, I have to agree with Xue on your attack.  You jumped so fast to aide your brother.  It was poetry in motion.  I'm very proud of you.  Very proud indeed!"  "Fuqin, everything you ever taught me went through my mind.  I had to save him!  His sons need him.  I need him!"  Mo Yuan patted his shoulder.  "How about we all get a nice hot bath in the hot pool?"  "I'm sorry, but this is one time I'll be in my own pool!  Mei Ying has magic fingers!!"  "I can relate.  Your mother knows just how to rub my aching muscles!  Very well then.  Off with you.  Bring Mei Ying and the boys when you can."
     Zhe Yan and Jinzi landed at the gate and went straight to the elixer cauldron.  Chang Shan met them there.  "High God Zhe Yan, I believe we have what you need.  If not, we will get it!"  "We will see.  Jinzi will be helping me."  For hours Zhe Yan and Jinzi worked making the elixers that Xue needed to recover.  He needed those to dissipate the venom and others to heal his wounds.   They worked into the night and finished the next morning.  Jinzi was tireless and got whatever herb or medicine Zhe Yan needed.   They had a month's worth of medicine when they finished.  "Jinzi, you have learned much and you have been a great help.  Now let's get back to your brother."  They arrived just in time for Xue was in great pain.  Jinzi ran to his side.  "Da ge!  We have medicine for you."  Zhe Yan gave the elixer to Jinzi and he gave it to his brother.  Xue smiled and closed his eyes.  "Jinzi, I'm leaving Xue in your care.  Give him the elixers twice a day and the pain ones as he needs them.  If you need me, just send a message."  Zhe Yan walked into Mo Yuan's study.  "Well, how is it?"    "As long as Jinzi tends to him, he will be fine.  He should be fully recovered in a month.  I think Jinzi should come spend a month with me to learn more about medicine and healing.  He is gifted and it would be a shame to waste it."  "I will approach him about it after he gets his brother over this injury.  Do you really believe he can train under you?"  "Yes and he may even be greater than me, if you can believe that!  Well, I'm off.  Message me if you need me." 
     Bai Qian was in her room giving lessons to her youngest children.  On weaponry.  When Mo Yuan walked in he was totally flabbergasted.  Weaponry was his expertise.  Well!  "So is mother a better teacher than me?"  "Fuqin!  Mother is awesome with her fan!  She said you made it.  Is that true?"  Junjie asked rather excitedly.  "Yes, I made it.  And she wields it with great power.  In the mermaid war she mowed down whole battalions of them by herself.  She's quite the warrior!"  His eyes turned gold at the thought and he smiled at her.  "Fuqin is quite proud of her power!  She's the only high goddess in the realms!!"  Chen Bo looked at her in amazement.  "Mother, could you have killed that nasty snake?"  "Yes, but I wanted to see your Fuqin go all war god!  He lights my fire when he does!"  Chin Chu thought otherwise.  "Mother I'm afraid of Fuqin when he goes all war god.  He's scary!"  "Come here Chu!  Fuqin will never scare you again!  I just did it to make a point.  You did get the point, didn't you?"  She ran to him and hugged him.  "Fuqin need never worry about me again!  Chu got the point.  Fuqin is one powerful war god and the whole world shakes at the mention of his name!!"  He hugged her and tilted her face up to look at him.  "One day, you might be that powerful.  What do you say to that, my Xiao nuhai?"  "Fuqin you're funning me!  I could never be as powerful as you!"  "You saw JinDe yesterday, didn't you?  Who trained him?  Hmmm?  I can train you too and so can your mother.  Now off with all of you.  I wish to talk to your beautiful mother!"  They all giggled.  "Fox tails and dragon scales Fuqin?"  Junjie giggled.  "Who told you that!  Out with all of you before I get you all!"  They ran out the door laughing. 
     His eyes turned gold and he grabbed Bai Qian up into his arms.  "Hmmm, there's something hot about a beautiful woman wielding a sword!  She lights my fire!  Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.  My Qian'er is a rare flower.  Beautiful and strong enough to kick ass!"  He kissed her neck hard.  His breath was hot as he smelled her.  "Jinlong, don't forget I'm pregnant.  If you go all war god, I'll have no choice but to run away.  You will have to be tender.  Can you be tender?"  He ran his knuckles down the side of her cheek.  He held her close and put his head on top of hers softly.  "I can be tender.  I can be as soft as your hair and as light as a breath of fresh air.  Look!  You even turned me into a hopeless romantic!"  Then come!  How about we stay in our room?"  He threw up a barrier and with a flip of his hand had them naked.  He laughed as he picked her up.  His kiss was deep as he ran his hands softly over her body.  They stayed there all day.  Impatient children, brother or messages mattered not for the war god was too busy to care.
     On the fourth day after the attack, Xue woke up to see another bed in his room full of children.  His boys were all wrapped up with Baohu and Jinzi.  He smiled and let out a soft sigh.  When he did, Jinzi jumped up and ran to him.  "Are you in pain, Da ge?  It's time for your medicine."  He ran out before Xue could stop him.  He was back in just a moment with his medicine and a breakfast tray for him.  He set the tray aside and helped his brother sit up in bed.  He placed the tray on his lap and handed him his medicine.  "How do you feel today, Da ge?  Better, I hope?"  "I do feel better, thanks to you my Xiao Jinzi.  So when are you going to go study under Zhe Yan to become a medicine king?"  "How did you know that's what I want to do?  I don't want to disappoint Fuqin!  What would he say?  What if I don't want to be a warrior?"  "Jinzi, be what you want to be.  Fuqin won't mind.  He wants what's best for you!  Now, Medicine King Jinzi, I want to get out of this bed and go to the garden for some fresh air!  Am I allowed?"  Jinzi smiled and handed him his chop sticks.  "Eat all of your breakfast first.  You must keep up your strength.  Baohu and I will be with you.  That is if I can get his lazy rear out of the bed!"  Jinzi was sitting on the bed watching Bai Xue eat when Mo Yuan came in.  He raised a brow when he saw Baohu tangled up with Fenli and Ali on the bed.  He shook his head and grinned.  "So much like his mother!  She's still asleep too!  How are you today, Xue?  Better?"  "Thanks to a very capable medicine king, I am doing well.  He has forced me to take nasty medicine for four days and made sure I'm eating food he prepared for me.  He even knows what I like best.  I guess his stay in the mortal realm was for his benefit in more ways than one."  "Fuqin, can I talk to you later?  Xue wants to go to the garden for some fresh air, but he has to eat first.  My orders!"  "Yes, Jinzi, we can talk.  I'll get these lazy boys up while you feed your Da ge, then we can go to the garden."  Xue smiled at Jinzi and dutifully ate his breakfast.  Mo Yuan was shaking Baohu.  "Stop Jinzi!  I don't want to get up until Fuqin makes me!"  Mo Yuan smiled down at him.  If he only realized how much like his mother he is!  He shook him again.  "Jinzi!  Stop!"  "If I was Jinzi, maybe I would!"  Baohu shot up in bed, his hair tangled and a trail of spit running down the side of his mouth.  "Fuqin!  I'll get up!  Right now!"  He wiped his hand across his mouth.  "Sorry, Fuqin!  I'll clean up right away."  Mo Yuan sat down and touched Fenli and Ali.  "Zufu is here, boys!  Time to rise and shine!"  They yawned and crawled into his lap.  "Your Fuqin wants to go to the garden today so lets get dressed and eat our breakfast, ok?"  They scrambled to get dressed and eat.
   With the help of his Fuqin and his Didi Jinzi, Xue was able to slowly make his way to the table in the garden.  Mo Yuan brewed some tea and handed him a cup.  He nodded and soaked in the fresh air.  "Fuqin, Jinzi has taken exceptional care of me.  Have you noticed how meticulous he is about mixing medicine?  He's not a bad cook either.  I feel good today!  I'm proud of my Xiao jin huli!  He's very talented."  "Yes he is.  I was going to ask him if he wanted to study under Zhe Yan.  I believe the time has come for him to learn more.  He has read every book in the library on medicine and memorized them all.  Plus he can't always be taking care of Baohu like you did JinDe!  It's time for Baohu to get serious too.  He has some serious power in those tails of his.  I just need to get him to realize it!  Are you feeling better, Xue?  That bite was nasty and I don't want you over doing it."  "Thanks to Jinzi I'm doing well.  He's almost like a big golden dragon I know making sure I do what he wants!"  Mo Yuan's eyes turned gold and he huffed.  "Is that so?  Bring Bailong here so I can see him!"  Xue's eyes turned white and he winced.  "Please Jinlong don't be too hard!  I'm still injured by that overgrown pit viper!"  "Yes, I know.  I just wanted to know how you feel.  We can't let a little garden snake get the best of us, now can we?"  Bailong snorted and then coughed.  He held up his hand.  "I'm fine!  That snake is not going to get the best of me!"  "Excellent!  Rest and recuperate.  Time is on your side!"
     Bai Qian saw them having a dragon to dragon talk.  Placing an invisibility barrier over herself, she very carefully sneaked up behind Mo Yuan.  That overblown sex machine!  She snickered behind her hand.  She erupted her tails.  He was in mid sentence when his head snapped up.  She wrapped her invisible tails around his body.  Xue watched his Fuqin's face go from serious to rapture in seconds.  His mother!  She must be behind a barrier!  Search though he might he couldn't find her.  After all, her barriers were fox magic and it was strong.  His Fuqin was now breathing hard and his eyes were squeezed shut.  Bai Xue stood and bowed to his father.  "I'm returning to my room now.  I feel the need for a nap.  And Mother, go easy on Jinlong, he's worn out after yesterday!"  Mo Yuan smiled.  So!  His Bai Huli was pranking him, hmmm?  Before he could move, her tail snaked under his robe and grabbed his balls.  Pig squeal!  "You can come out now, Bai Huli!  I know your th............!  Oh dear!  The kids were back by the hot pool!  What's a dragon to do?  His shaft was rock hard and his linen pants had his balls in a bad bind.  Her tails were all over him!  He was trying to hold a straight face but for the life of him he could barely stand it.  His robe was opened in the front, his linen pants pulled down and his rod fell out.  Her lips captured him.  She licked down his shaft and encased his shaft and started to suck the life out of him.  His eyes were squeezed shut.  She had bound him so he couldn't move.  He was trapped but what could he do?  Ye Hua was walking toward him.  Oh no!!  Not now!!  She laughed.  "I'll make you pay, Qian'er, I swear I will!"  Ye Hua sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.  He looked at his brother very carefully.  Sweat was pouring down his face and his golden eyes were swirling like the sun.  Ye Hua narrowed his eyes and opened his link to his brother.  He spit his tea out and down right belly laughed.  He stood and bowed.  "I bow to the almighty fox goddess who has taken the dragon by the tail, er phallus, and tamed him!  Good day, Da ge!"  If Mo Yuan could find a stick he would have thrown it at his know-it-all Didi!  That little pip squeak!  He moaned out loud as Bai Qian sucked him to oblivion.  No longer able to resist her, he unloaded right then and there!  He was trembling all over when he heard the voices of the children coming toward him.  Oh no ooo ooo!!!  Bai Qian straightened his robes, retracted her tails and appeared across the table holding her cup of tea.  Her provocative grin said it all!  "You win this time!  You win!!"  He was barely composed when the children appeared.  What's a hot blooded dragon to do?  Ride the tide!  Ride the tide!  He let out a long sigh and smiled.
     Jinzi had helped Xue back to bed.  He nodded his thanks and let Jinzi cover him up.  "You know I love you, don't you Jinzi?  You're growing up on me!  Go have that talk with Fuqin now.  He will listen and you might be surprised!  Now I'm going to take a nap!"  Jinzi left Xue to nap and returned to the garden.  His mother was sitting at the table with his Fuqin.  He walked up and plopped down on a stool by the table.  "Fuqin, are you ill?  Your face is all red!  Here let me check you."  Mo Yuan held up his hand.  I'm fine.  You said you wanted to talk to me?  Now is a good time."  "Since both of you are here, I suppose it is.  Fuqin, mother, I want to study medicine under Zhe Yan.  I hope you won't be disappointed in me because that's what I want to do."  "Jinzi, I thought you would never ask!  Fuqin wants what is best for you!  You will make an excellent medicine king.  You might even become greater than Zhe Yan.  I will talk to him when he comes to check on Xue later this week.  You can begin training right away."  Jinzi jumped up and hugged his Fuqin.  "Mother, do you mind?"  "Mother wants you to do what makes you happy.  I agree with your Fuqin.  You can keep that lao de fenghuang straight!"  "Thank you so much!"  He jumped up and ran toward his room.  Bai Qian sniffed and reached for her handkerchief.  "When did my little fox get so grown?"  "I was just thinking the same thing!"
