Eight months had been a long time but the day was fast approaching. Many gifts had arrived for Liang Lei. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She was drinking tea in the hall when Taiyang and Zhenzhu came to her. "Lei Lei, we have a gift for you! We brought it to your room. Do you want to go see it?" "Really? Lead the way, then!" They both took a hand and led her to her room. When she walked in, she saw the beautiful crib sitting by her bed. Tears came into her eyes. "Oh how beautiful! It's just beautiful!!" She ran her hands over the design and felt the smooth wood. She sat on her bed and held out her arms to them. They both went into her hug. "So this is the big secret you two have been into! I will cherish it forever! Every child born to me will sleep in this cradle. I love you both so much!!" She squeezed them tight and was about to rise when Bai Qian came in. "Mother! Look what Taiyang and Zhenzhu made for me! Isn't it beautiful?" She ran her hands over it carefully. "What is this spell you have here?" Taiyang spoke first. "Mother, I put a spell that would always protect Lei's babies from harm." "Mother, I put a spell that would bring sweet dreams." "I see you boys are very thoughtful to your jiemei. That is a very loving gift you have given. Don't you think so, Lei Lei?" "Mother, I just don't even know what to say! Thank you so much!!" Mo Yuan walked in just in time to here her last words. "Fuqin! Look what Taiyang and Zhenzhu made for me! They even put protection spells on it for me!! Isn't it lovely?" "It is a most beautiful gift! I actually came to get them. If my two beautiful ladies would excuse us?" He took them to his study. "Are we in trouble, Fuqin?" "No, I need you boys to help me with some training for Gaoxing and Xingfu. They seem attached to you two the most. Are you willing to help?" "Yes, we will, but Fuqin, they are as lazy as Chen Bo. They want to play around." "Well that is why Fuqin is enlisting your aide. I know you boys love to play games. Let's make learning a game to them. You understand, don't you?" "I get it! We will have them learning in no time! Easy spells? Combat techniques?" "Yes! The same things I started you off on. Now go to the arena. I'll bring them to see what they do."
Mo Yuan walked into the arena carrying Gaoxing and Xingfu. When they saw Taiyang and Zhenzhu they wanted down so he put them down and watched them run to their brothers. JinDe was training and decided he would come over to help. "Ho Gaoxing! Xingfu! Are you ready to train with Er ge?" He sat down and let them come to him. "Fuqin, are you getting Taiyang and Zhenzhu to help train them? You know they are lazy, don't you?" "So I've been told! We are going to play games, aren't we boys?" He set up small targets and obstacles. He set up bigger dragon sized targets. "JinDe, we are going to play a game. Whoever can hit the most targets wins. You understand, don't you?" When JinDe got it he nodded. "Ah yes! The target game! So much fun!! Er ge will help you Gaoxing! Are you ready?" Forgetting all about his xiongdi and Fuqin, Gaoxing started zapping away at targets. He didn't miss a single one. He transformed and was flying trying to hit the dragon targets but he couldn't call forth his powers. He transformed back and pouted to his Fuqin. "Gaoxing not know how Fuqin! Want learn now!" "Fuqin, Xingfu want learn too!" Mo Yuan, having thoroughly tricked his lazy boys, had JinDe take them in hand. "Your er ge will teach you now! Listen closely to him and Fuqin will be back to see if you make any progress." He spoke into JinDe's mind. "JinDe, work them hard. You know what to do!" He nodded and proceeded to show them how to use their dragon powers. Taiyang and Zhenzhu also practiced their powers to help. Feeling good about them, he walked to the hall. Bai Qian was waiting on him. "Dearest, would you take me to Qing Qui to get more loquats? I'm really craving them!" "Your wish is my command! Come and we shall go. Besides, I need to talk to the weapons master there again. Are you ready?" "Let's go!"
When High God Mo Yuan comes to the market, the whole marketplace buzzes with excitement. Bai Qian held his arm as they walked through to the weapons master. First he stopped at the cloth dealer and picked up a package. Once he paid the vendor they walked toward the next booth. "Dearest, would you mind telling me what you just bought?" "I bought Ye Hua a robe made out of the black cloth with the white peach blossoms on it made just like mine. He is going to paint a portrait of the two of us in those robes for the gallery. What do you think?" "A very good idea! Make sure you both wear your hair unbound. We need one to go in the hall of Kunlun too!" "Alright then! I'll pass the word on to him then." They stopped and bought loquats for her and headed to the weapons master. Mo Yuan rounded the corner with her on his arm when he saw a man grabbing the shirt front of the master. He jumped behind him and grabbed him in a choke hold. "We don't allow violence here! Who are you and why did you threaten this man?" "High God Mo Yuan!! He was asking me about your son, Junjie! He actually threatened to kill me!" Mo Yuan grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and shook him. "Who are you? What to you need Junjie for? Answer me or you will pay!!" Bai Qian was standing close by listening. Before Mo Yuan could say another word, a wave of energy flew by him and slammed the man to the ground. He was holding his throat and he couldn't breathe. Feeling the energy and where it came from, he spoke to his girls. "Fuqin is fine!! Release the man so I can find out what he wants! Release him this instant!!" Slowly his breath came back and he shook in total fear. "I will not ask you again! Why do you seek to harm Junjie?" The man sat in the dirt for a moment and looked up. "My daughter said that he tried to force himself on her! I seek justice!" Mo Yuan was furious. He scowled and called Baohu. "Baohu! Bring Junjie to the weapons master in Qing Qui right now! Right now!!" Baohu brought Junjie as fast as he could. Mo Yuan looked Junjie right in his honey gold eyes. "Mo Junjie Jin! This man says that you tried to force yourself on his daughter! Tell me now what you have done! Now!" "Fuqin, on my honor as your son, I haven't done anything to his daughter! Every time I come to see the weapons master, she shows up. I didn't harm her, I swear!" "Baohu! Is he telling me the truth?" Junjie looked at Baohu with a pleading look. "Junjie! Whatever you did, I won't lie to Fuqin! You better come clean!" Junjie sighed and hung his head. "Fuqin, we have been seeing each other. I'm sorry I lied. Please punish me!" He fell down on his knees and bowed down. Mo Yuan turned to the man and asked him where was his daughter. "Where is your daughter now? Bring her to the fox den immediately. We will discuss this there! Junjie, go with your mother to the den now! Baohu, you're with me." The man bowed and left to get his daughter. Mo Yuan turned to the weapons master. "Have they been meeting here?" "Yes, High God Mo Yuan. Every time he comes here they meet and leave the market together. I didn't know that man was her Fuqin." "Very well. I wished to talk to you about a new design for those throwing stars, but it will have to wait. I shall return at a later date. Thank you for your trouble!"
Baohu was silent as he walked with his Fuqin to the fox den. He knew his Fuqin was furious. Junjie was in deep water this time for sure. He had just arrived when the man arrived with his daughter. They were brought in by Mi Gu. Junjie was sitting at the table looking very nervous. Mo Yuan could see the fury in his mother's eyes as she looked at him. They all sat down and Mi Gu brought tea. "Junjie, I will have the truth now, if you please. I know you have been meeting this girl here at the weapons master's booth. Would you care to tell me your intentions? Did you even bother to open up your dragon to test the water? Well? Have you nothing to say?" Junjie was scared stiff. He looked at his Fuqin with abject terror in his eyes. He opened his dragon senses. His look was intense as he looked at the pretty young girl sitting there. He looked at his Fuqin with golden eyes and huffed. Jinlong was in no mood for a pitiful challenge. He jumped into Junjie's face and snarled. "You dare to challenge me, Shandian Jinlong? Really? Would you care to meet me at Mount Cangwu? Are you as strong as your Si ge? If not then you better back off! Qian Qian! Take Junjie to your old room. I must have a discussion with her Fuqin." Junjie jumped up and snarled. "No! No more!! Stop it! We wish to be married, but I haven't asked her Fuqin yet. I don't know why he thinks I forced myself on her! Please Fuqin! Believe me!" "Go with your mother like I say or you will regret it! Now, Junjie!!" Baohu grabbed Junjie by the arm and took him to his mother's room. "Junjie, you are about to be made a fool of by a manipulator. She played you like a quqin. Did you open up your dragon? Well? Did you? If you did, you would have known she wasn't for you. Now be quiet and let me listen." Mo Yuan's eyes were gold as he sat down. He sensed the girl's fear but also her spirit of triumph. He would root this out now. He looked at her Fuqin and stared hard. "So I assume you caught her in a lie. Am I correct?" "Yes, High God Mo Yuan, I did. She is always sneaking out with young men." "So you thought to catch yourself a dragon, did you? Well answer me! Did you or did you not try to force Junjie into a marriage? I can make you answer." He looked right into her eyes and spoke into her mind. "Do you still wish to lie your way out of your own punishment? Hmmm? Do you? Shall I tell this man about all the men you have had, Xuan Nu? I'm sure this man doesn't even know where his daughter is. I'm sure he would love to know!" Her eyes widened when he spoke into her mind. She stared wide-eyed at Mo Yuan and turned to the man. Mo Yuan worked his spell and brought forth her true face. To say the room was shocked was an understatement. "Tell this man where his real daughter is. If she is dead, then you will pay heavily! Tell him!!" "I have her in the prison in the Ghost realm. You can get her." "Baohu, go get the girl. Take Die Feng with you." Baohu jumped away. Her Fuqin rose, bowed to Mo Yuan and spoke an apology. "High God Mo Yuan, I ask your forgiveness and beg your leave. I had no idea she was not my child." Mo Yuan was swirling his tea in his cup. He called Junjie to him. "Sit down, Junjie. We need to talk." Junjie sat down in utter misery. "I know that Xuan Nu only wanted you because of the prestige and power you could bring her, plus she has an agenda. Did you sleep with her?" Junjie sighed and answered. "Yes." "You do know that I didn't sleep with your mother until we were married? Yes, I had other women, but at 70,000 years old that stopped. If you had opened your dragon, none of this would have happened. Why did you sleep with her? Why didn't you just go to the mortal realm flower house? Not that I approve of that either! I'm very disappointed in you. I want you to return to Kunlun to your room and contemplate your foolishness. Go home and we will talk later." Still furious, he stood and brought Bai Qian into his arms. "I'm sorry, Qian'er! I should have kept my temper under control." "What makes you think I'm not furious myself? I really wanted to slap Junjie silly. I still do, so when we get home, please don't let me slap him!"
Baohu returned with the girl who had suffered greatly. Jinzi came and tended to her. "Fuqin, she will be alright. She has just been mistreated and starved." Her Fuqin took her into his arms and left without a word. "Baohu, make sure Junjie is in his room. I must tend to this scum now." "Fuqin, why not turn her over to Tianjun Ye Hua? She has threatened the peace of the realms." "True. I'll take her to him then! I'll be home shortly." Mo Yuan entered the throne room on Kunlun with Xuan Nu. "Tianjun Ye Hua! I have brought a criminal and traitor to this realm. Xuan Nu, Ghost Queen and wife of Ghost Lord, Li Jing, traitor that caused my death at Ruoshui River, defiler of men and a seductress who seeks to bring calamity to this realm by using my son, Mo Junjie Jin, to gain her way. She has brought harm to a true daughter of Qing Qui and disguised herself as this young woman. The girl was mistreated and starved in her dungeon. She will recover, but nonetheless she suffered. I bring her here for justice. I demand justice for my own life. She stole my formation plans through subterfuge and lies. She gave those plans to Qing Cang. He used them to bring about great loss to us and my own sacrifice to entrap Qing Cang in the Donghuang Bell. I demand justice for the harm she has caused. I turn her over to you!!" Mo Yuan left her standing between two guards and went to his seat. Ye Hua looked at her with his frosty face. She could see no reprieve from him. Using her spell, she changed her face to that of Empress Bao Feng Yu. She pleaded. "Please don't hurt me, Ye Hua! I'm innocent! It's me, your love!" Mo Yuan saw red. How dare she use Yu Yu against Ye Hua!! He was about to grab her when Ye Hua descended the throne and slapped her. He removed the spell from her face. "How dare you use my empress against me!! How dare you! You shall face punishment. You shall be struck by lightning until you die. You shall have all immortality stripped from you and you shall be thrown down as food for animals in the mortal realm! You will never come into these realms again! Guards! Take her to the punishment platform now!" Xuan Nu was led to the punishment platform. Lord Pua started the punishment. Strike after strike hit her in rapid succession. Being weak with little cultivation, the Ghost Queen didn't last long. Her body was thrown down to the mortal realm and she was wiped away from all immortal life.
Mo Yuan jumped to the portico of the temple and walked into the hall. Baohu was waiting for him. "Fuqin, Junjie is in his room. He hasn't spoken a word to anyone. Not even Mother. Something is wrong, but I just don't know what." "I'm about to talk to him. I think he was deceived, but I just want to see." He turned and walked to Junjie's room. He knocked and got no answer. He knocked again. No answer. A barrier was over the door. He broke it and slung the door open. Junjie was gone. He left a note on his bed. It read:
"Fuqin, I am sorry that I have once again brought shame to your name and the traditions of Kunlun Mountain. I ask your forgiveness. I am going to the mortal realm for a while. No one will know me there. I won't be able to shame you anymore or embarrass Mother. Please forgive me.
Mo Junjie Jin."
