Kai Yonggan Ke came to see Mo Yuan immediately. Mo Yuan showed him the boys. He held them close and cried. "Li Li left them with me Yonggan. She gave birth and left. I don't know where she is. Baohu did something to her. I'm so sorry. I raised him to be a better man. Please, if you have it in your heart to forgive him, I can only ask you to. I will keep these boys here with me, if you are ok with that?" Yonggan Ke nodded. "Since they are hulis, I think it would be better if they were with others of their kind. I will try to find Li Li. For her to leave her children when they need her the most is very upsetting. I will try to find out what happened, rest assured. What of young Baohu? What will you do?" "He has been stripped of his powers. As soon as he recovers, he will be sent to the mortal realm to endure another trial. Just know that I will not tolerate a son of mine to act in this manner." Kai Yonggan Ke rose, bowed and left. Mo Yuan went to his room to check on Bai Qian and the little baby boys. They were awake. He took the first one into his arms. The Xiao Huli was staring at him with a very intense look. "I, your Zufu, shall name you today. You shall be called Bai Fengbao, for storm clouds shall follow you with the wind at your back." He fed him a bottle and laid him back down. He picked up his brother. "You, my sunzi, I name Bai WuYun. You are the storm and wind is your brother." He fed him and laid him down to nap. He walked into the hall to find Chen Bo and Shenshi there. He motioned for them to follow him to his study. "Chen Bo, I need you and Shenshi to take over care of the babies for a short while. I will move them to the nursery with Jingsi and Jiaxiao for the time being. Can you do this?" "Fuqin, I will be glad to tend them. Won't we, Shenshi?" He looked at her softly. "Yes, we will! Have no worries! They will be well cared for." "I named them. The oldest is Bai Fengbao. He has a gold spot on his right ear. The youngest is named Bai WuYun. He has a gold spot on his left ear. Chang Shan will show you how to feed them with the bottle. I must set this mountain back into order now. Go get them now." Mo Yuan sat for a moment, looked at his desk and set about tending to correspondence.
Mo Yuan called Bai Xue and Mo JinDe into his study. They knocked on his door. "Enter". They both bowed and took a seat. "You called for us, Fuqin?" "You both know what happened yesterday." They both nodded, but were silent. "Baohu has been stripped of his powers and title. I'm taking over as God of War until JinDe is ready to take over. Baohu will be sent to the mortal realm for a trial. He will suffer through enough heartache to make him see the error of his ways. I will send him on one trial after another until he learns his lessons. JinDe, I know I told you to take him to the mortal realm, but I decided a trial was better. I am depending on both of you to assist me. I haven't told you, but Shandian Li gave birth to twin boy hulis yesterday. Bai hulis. Chen Bo and Shenshi are taking care of them now, for you see, Li Li was hurt by Baohu. Both physically and mentally. He actually broke the leg of the oldest boy. She left and never bonded with her children. Just know this, they will be raised by your mother and I. They will never know Baohu is their Fuqin. Yonggan Ke has gone to look for Li Li. I know you think I'm harsh, but it must be done. You boys are my oldest children. I'm not getting any younger. In fact, as of today, I am 400,000 years old. Xue, take Junjie under your wing. He is smart and powerful. JinDe, I know you bonded with Taiyang and Zhenzhu and Gaoxing and Xingfu. I wish for you to keep them close to you, even though you will be training. Jingsi and Jiaxiao will be with me. As soon as your mother recovers, she will take over care of the hulis. Do you boys understand what I'm saying? This fight with Baohu has hurt me deeply. I think I may not live to see Jingsi and Jiaxiao grown. Today is the first sign I've had that my calamity may be near." Bai Xue ran around the desk and grabbed his Fuqin. "Fuqin, I know you're tired. I know you're hurt. Are you sure? Let me look at you!" Xue looked his Fuqin over good. He noticed he had several gray hairs on both sides of his temples. He could see the lines of burden written on him. He took a deep breath. "Fuqin, I want you to rest for the next few days. JinDe and I will handle all Kunlun business. I want you to rest and meditate. We will tend to everything. When mother recovers, I want you to take her to Mount Junji. You need to get away and just live for once. Now please, for once, let us tend to you! Will you?" Mo Yuan looked deep into eyes so like his own. He patted Xue on his shoulder. "Yes, I will rest. I need to be sharp when your mother awakens. You know she misses nothing." "I am well aware of those eyes that can stare a hole through you! Now go to your cave. If anything happens, I will come and get you."
Bai Xue and Mo JinDe went to the bench on the pinnacle of Kunlun and sat down. They called for their grandparents. "Zufu! Zumu! We need you!" They appeared together in front of them. Fuxi conjured a table with tea for them all to sit down on. Bai Xue spoke for them. "Zufu, I'm sure you're aware of what has happened. Fuqin said today he felt like his calamity was near. Is it?" "No, he still has many years left. He will live much longer. It's his heartbreak over the Xiao Jin Huli that is making him feel this way. The huli is charmed. When he fought Shao Wan on Mount Cangwu, she threw a charm on him. He charmed her too, but she has not released him. He is not even aware of it. I do know that he injured his sweet little wife when she rejected him. A charm is no excuse for crude behavior though. I know she rejected her children. She has gone to her people to free herself of the hurt. She will let him go. Her heart is so broken, she may even die. I can do nothing for her, but you two can. Go and talk to her. Her boys need her for their Fuqin is about to go through a very difficult trial. If she won't take on the responsibility, she will die from the heartbreak. Mo Yuan is very upset. He came near to the point of no return. If the Xiao longs hadn't covered the Xiao Jin Huli, he would have killed him with fire. Bai Qian is his true forever mate. He can survive her death, but you would have to convince him to stay. I'm convinced he wouldn't want to live without her. You two are very smart to come here to us. Mo Yuan needs rest. The Xiao hulis are indeed a very heavy responsibility. Help him if you can. I do know this, Shao Wan doesn't know the Xiao Jin Huli is still charmed. If he sees her, he will break all vows and sleep with her. Don't let him. Kill him first. I mean it. Do you agree dear?" Nuwa shook her head. "Yes, I agree. Maybe Mo Yuan should have killed him anyway, but he wouldn't have been able to live with it. Bai Baohu Zhe must go into a series of trials to address what he has done. You two, being the oldest, can help your Fuqin get through this. Take over his duty. Run Kunlun like I know you can. Mo JinDe, come here to me, child." JinDe stood, straightened his armor and stood in front of his zumu. He knelt down in front of her. "JinDe, the name is fitting. You are indeed a golden dragon. You have become a great warrior and commander, but I know you have a tender side. I will enhance your power today. Bai Xue! Come here to me!" Xue knelt before his zumu. "You are just as powerful as your golden brother, but in your mind, you never accepted it. I will enhance your power too. Whereas JinDe is more the military man, you are the quiet diplomat. Behold now! Xue, you will have your Fuqin's mind power from now on. I think you knew you had it, but you never developed it. JinDe, I will gift you with more of your Fuqin's brilliant military mind and power. I know you are going to start training to take the huli's place. Show Mo Yuan your gifts and set his mind at ease." She put a hand on the head of each one and released her power to them. She helped them stand side by side. "Look at them, Fuxi! So much like our eldest boy! Come give me a hug now!" Both of them hugged them and left. Xue looked at his power swirling around him. He nodded to JinDe. They left the mountain pinnacle and went in search of their Fuqin.
Xue and JinDe found their Fuqin in the nursery surrounded by children. He was smiling and telling them stories. Jingsi and Jiaxiao were mesmerized. Their eyes were big as their Fuqin told stories of sprites and fairies and promised to take them to see their land. He was telling a story of every realm and their people. Jingsi patted her Fuqin on the arm. "Fuqin, is dragin sad? Me want to know!" He smiled and his eyes turned gold. He purred to them and sighed with a very deep breath. "Yes, Fuqin is very sad, but Xiao longs make me happy! How about a kiss for your old Fuqin?" He promptly received a sloppy kiss on each cheek. He hugged them close and sat them down on a quilt on the floor. He conjured blocks for them to play with. He was about to rise when Xue and JinDe walked in. Gaoxing and Xingfu ran to them. "Da ge! Er ge! Fuqin tell us stories! You come play! "I'm sorry Gaoxing! I'll have to play with you another day. I have duties to attend to. You stay here and watch over your jiemei. They need you to be strong for them. Ok?" "Ok! Gaoxing strong just like Fuqin!!" "Xingfu strong too! Be just like Da ge and Er ge!" "Very good! Da ge will see you tomorrow!" "We need you just a moment, Fuqin, if you please?" "Very well! Lead the way!" They lead him to his study. He sat behind his desk and they sat opposite of him. "Fuqin, when Baohu wakes up, let us handle him. My agent in the snow leopard realm tells me that Lei Lei is close to her time. Perhaps you and Mother could go be with her. We will take care of our xiongdi and jiemei. Don't worry. Let us handle Kunlun for you." "I had planned to go there and take the children with me. Gaoxing and Xingfu love Hei a lot." He looked at them both very hard. "Have you two been training behind my back? I can feel your power." "Fuqin, none of us can sneak anything by you, ever! It just so happens that we paid a visit to Zufu and Zumu this morning." "Fuqin and Mother?" "Yes. She gave us more power." Xue looked into his Fuqin's eyes and spoke direct into his mind. "I guess Baohu isn't the only one who has power." Mo Yuan's eye widened as he looked at Xue. "Mother knew you had the ability all along. And you, JinDe?" "Let's just say I have the skills to take your place. Do you accept our proposal?" He stood and walked around to sit right in front of them. "I've always known the two of you would really shine one day. My first born sons! I was 230,000 when you were born, but sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday. Alright! As soon as your mother recovers, we leave for the mountains in the north! Fair enough?" "Fair enough! Please tell us what kind of trial do you wish Baohu to have. By the way, Zufu told us he was charmed by Shao Wan the day they fought on Mount Cangwu. He's still under her spell. He told us he hurt Li Li when she rejected him. He also told us whatever we do, don't let him go to her for relief. He said for us to kill him if he does. Zumu agreed. Should I pay her a visit and ask her to release him?" To say Mo Yuan was surprised was an understatement. Several emotions passed over his face, the last one being anger. "She did it on purpose. She did it to hurt me. It has caused more hurt and pain than she would ever know." "Fuqin, Zufu told us to go find Shandian Li and bring her back to her sons. He said if she refuses to come back, then she will die of a broken heart. She left because Baohu hurt her and literally broke her heart." "Her Fuqin has searched the grassy plains of their homeland for her but hasn't found her yet. Can you boys find her?" Bai Xue laughed. "Do you really think that I, Bai Xue, prince of the realm, son of Mo Yuan and Master of Espionage can't find her?" His grin was the tell all. "Well, I knew you were an accomplished spy, but now I know for sure! Has Junjie returned yet?" "No he hasn't. I hear the king of the white tigers has a very lovely daughter." Mo Yuan nearly laughed out loud. "You devious, sneaking, conniving manipulator! You sent him there on purpose!! It seems I have been in the dark concerning my own children. Is said daughter interested in Junjie? If it progresses would they live here or there? Tell me more!!" "The tigers are reclusive, true enough, but that daughter is just what Junjie needs. Her Fuqin is quite taken with our very mannerly, upright and very powerful Xiao Shandian Jinlong. In fact, my agent tells me that the daughter has asked to make a trip to Kunlun to see the sites. Junjie, being the epitome of a gentleman after Jinlong beat the stuffing out of him, has agreed to escort her. They should arrive next week. So do I deserve my title as chief manipulator?" "And I thought I was the devious one in this family! Ha! Come let's check on your mother. I'm sorry, but I don't want to lay eyes on Baohu right now. The picture of Li Li's soft eyes looking at me as she kissed her boys goodbye still breaks my heart."
Bai Qian woke up to a quiet darkened room. Her head hurt and she was stiff all over. The last thing she remembered was Baohu shooting at her with his tails and hearing Mo Yuan roaring her name. Just where was that hunk of dragon man? She was about to rise when he walked in with Bai Xue and Mo JinDe. He rushed to her side. "My love! Take your time! You were heavily wounded! How do you feel?" "You just wait until I get my hands on that Xiao Jin Huli! Mo Yuan! Strip him of his powers right now! He had the audacity to be drunk in the middle of the day!! He doesn't deserve to be God of War! Strip him of it today!!" "Qian'er, calm down! It has already been done. I'm afraid I nearly killed him." His eyes turned gold. "Right now, Qian'er, if I go into his room, I might just kill him! But first, I have some news for you. Shandian Li gave birth to two Xiao Bai Huli boys! That's right! They are both white except for one gold spot on their ears. Qian'er, Baohu hurt her and broke the leg of the youngest boy. After Li Li gave birth, she stood up, kissed them, me, Zhe Yan and Jinzi and left. She never bonded with them. I named them. The oldest is Bai Fengbao. The youngest is Bai WuYun. They are to live with us for now. Baohu is going to be sent on trials until his punishment is deemed enough for what he has done. Xue is going to find Li Li and bring her back. I hope that you don't mind taking on those boys along with Jingsi and Jiaxiao?" "Ohhhh, Mo Yuan! She must have been so broken to leave like that. No worries! I will take them and love them. Have you been tending them?" "Yes, but Chen Bo and Shenshi are tending them now. He did ask me for her hand. We will need to speak to his Fuqin about a date. Do you wish to rise now? These two wanted to see you." Xue and JinDe sat by her bed on the floor. Xue spoke first. "Mother, don't be angry at Baohu anymore. He brought this on himself. I just hope the trials he is going to endure will help him be a changed man. Plus Zufu Fuxi told us that Shao Wan charmed him. He's still suffering, but that was no excuse for trying to force himself on his wife like he did. Fuxi told us that if Baohu goes to Shao Wan for relief, for us to kill him. I don't know his reason for saying that, but we told him we would. We came to ask something of you!" "Oh? What would that be?" "We want you and Fuqin to take Gaoxing and Xingfu, Jingsi and Jiaxiao and Fengbao and WuYun to the snow leopard realm. Lei Lei is very close to birth time. She needs you and Fuqin there. Let us handle Baohu. Shushu can send him on trial. He was very angry, to be sure. Do you agree?" She looked him in the eye and then JinDe. She knew they would handle the situation. "Alright then! Your Fuqin and I will leave right away! First I want to see the Bai hulis. Maybe they will accept me since I too am white! Well let your Fuqin help me up. It's about time I get out of this bed." Xue and JinDe waited outside the door while their mother dressed. She came out with Mo Yuan right behind her. They all went to the nursery. Her fox eyes came out right away. Chen Bo was feeding Fengbao with a bottle when she walked in. "What is this?" "My love, I had them and they were starving. I asked Chang Shan how I could feed them. He had been to the modern mortal realm and they use these to feed their children. It's called a bottle. We have been feeding them goat's milk. It seems it doesn't upset their stomachs as much." "Genius! Pure genius! Well they seem happy. Let me see them now. It's a shame Baohu can't talk to them." "Mother, I can talk to them." "Since when?" "Since this morning. Let me talk to them and then I'll tell you. Now hand me Fengbao." Xue carefully took the Xiao huli into his arms. He spoke to him. "Fengbao, I am your Shushu, Bai Xue. I am a white dragon. Your Zumu over there is a Bai huli like you! She and Fuqin want to raise you. Will you accept them? Tell Shushu what you want!" "Shushu, why did my mother leave? Where is my Fuqin? Why did they leave me?" "Your Fuqin hurt your mother and your brother. He will be sent away for a while to learn some life lessons. Your mother is brokenhearted because of it. I hope to bring her back to you soon. If she won't come back, you will always have us, your large family, to love and care for you. Zufu and Zumu wish to raise you. Do you accept?" "Where Zumu?" "Mother, Fengbao wants you." Bai Qian took the Xiao huli into her arms. Her fox was present and she talked fox talk to him. He nuzzled her neck and settled into her. "Fengbao will love Zumu like mother. Fengbao happy!" "Mother, Fengbao just accepted you. Let me talk to WuYun now." "WuYun, do you also wish to stay with Zufu and Zumu?" "WuYun want Zufu." "Fuqin, WuYun wants you." Being rather surprised, Mo Yuan took him into his arms and laid him on his neck. WuYun looked at Xue and smiled. "Zufu take me when I first born. Him feed me and love me! Me stay with Zufu and Zumu!" "Fuqin, WuYun says that you took him when he was first born. He says you loved him and fed him. He will stay with you and mother." "Very well! From this day forward, they stay with us!"
