Rescue Me, My Love

Don't Mess With Tianjun Ye Hua

     Mo Yuan went to get Baohu for dinner.  He had to be led since he had on the blindfold bandage.  Bai Xue was watching him with great interest.  Mo Yuan took him to his place as God of War.  JinDe sat beside him.  JinDe helped him eat and placed his food where he could smell it to eat.  He turned to Jinzi who was sitting next to Bai Xue.  "Jinzi, what happened to Baohu's eyes."  "Shao Wan cast a spell on him.  Not only did she cast a charm spell right into his eyes, she cast a spell that was attacking them.  He would have been blind in another week."  JinDe's face turned red.  "I'm so glad those baby girls killed that bitch.  They are real heroines!  They deserve any reward Tianjun Ye Hua wishes to give them."  Mo Yuan looked at them and smiled.  "Well Tianjun has asked them to appear in court tomorrow along with Baohu, so we shall see.  I hope no one says anything against Baohu.  They might just kill them."  "Should Xue and I go too, Fuqin?"  "Not a bad idea.  You two can lead Baohu in and I can carry them.  Be here bright and early, then we go to the throne room."  "Would they actually hurt someone?"  "Yes, they would!  They have a deep bond with Baohu.  Plus they love Fengbao and WuYun deeply.  We will just have to hope for the best."
     The next morning Mo Yuan rose early.  Bai Qian was sleepy but she knew she needed to be there for Baohu.  She dressed in pure white, her hair cascading down her back, a simple white jade hair pin of peach blossoms her only adornment, the Jade Purity Fan of Kunlun in her hand.  Mo Yuan took one look at her and sighed.  She was just so damn beautiful!!  They went to the nursery to get Jingsi and Jiaxiao ready.  Bai Qian dressed them in little white robes that match hers.  Mo Yuan smiled as he talked to them.  "Look how beautiful my girls are!  Now Fuqin wants you to be sweet, benevolent and kind while you are in the throne room.  I will not put up with any bad behavior.  Understand?"  They both nodded.  "We be good!"  "Very good!  Come let Fuqin carry you.  We must meet your Da ge, Er ge and Si ge."  He carried them to the hall where the rest of the family was.  They ate breakfast and prepared to leave.  "Junjie!  You are in charge until we return."  They cloud jumped to the stairs to the throne room.  Mo Yuan slowly climbed the stairs holding the baby girls with Xue and JinDe behind him helping Baohu.  When they got to the door, they were announced.  Jingsi and Jiaxiao flew out of Mo Yuan's hands and landed in front of the throne.  They looked like pure little angels floating to the throne.  The crowd was large and they all gasped at the beauty of the sweet little girls.  Ye Hua stood and Jia Yun called for order.  Ye Hua spoke to them and the room.  "Let it be known to all realms far and wide that Mo Jingsi Yuehai and Mo Jiaxiao Yuwan have rid the realms of the scourge of demon Queen Shao Wan.  Shao Wan set out to destroy the family of High God Mo Yuan, even though the hand of peace and friendship had been extended to her.  By her dark arts she managed to find one weak spot on High God Bai Baohu Zhe, his eyes.  She cast her charm spell and a spell of destruction into his eyes.  These spells caused a personality change and unspeakable harm to him and his family.  These two angelic little girls have a great love for their Si ge.  They were incensed and angered when they heard what was done to him.  Upon hearing it, they left to go seek retribution for their Si ge.  They burned up Shao Wan and her court.  These two girls, daughters of High God Mo Yuan, my brother, have a very high level of cultivation.  For their bravery, their undying love for their Si ge and their family, I, Tianjun Ye Hua, your ruler and their Shushu, do hereby grant to them whatever they wish for.  As a token of this promise, I give to them these bracelets.  They will always let me and their Fuqin know that they are safe.  Come to Shushu, my little ones!"  He held out his arms for them.  They flew to his arms.  Jia Yun brought a box with two little bracelets in it.  They were made of silver, carved with lotus blossoms, their names written in white jade.  Their were two little bells on each one.  Mo Yuan gasped when he saw them.  Ye Hua placed the bracelets on their arms and kissed the cheek of each one.  "Go to your Fuqin now."  They went to him.  He looked at the bracelets and tears came to his eyes.  Ye Hua smiled and nodded.  Mo Yuan took them and their mother and sat at his place.  Jia Yun stepped forward and his call rang out over the throne room.  "Tianjun Ye Hua calls God of War, Bai Baohu Zhe, to the throne."  He came in wearing his Kunlun Mountain official robes, Bai Xue and Mo JinDe on each side to guide him.  Murmurs went through the crowd when they realized he was blind.  His crimes were read out loud for the whole room to hear.  He hung his head in shame.  One man made a comment that was not very nice.  He was picked up out of his seat and flung down in front of the throne.  Before Mo Yuan could blink, Jingsi and Jiaxiao were sitting on him.  "You no talk bad!  You hear story!  Shushu!  Justice!"  To say everyone was in shock was an understatement.  Did they just see those two little girls throw a grown man on the ground?  Mo Yuan moved from his seat to get them but Ye Hua stopped him.  "Justice shall indeed be brought today.  Go back to your Fuqin now.  I will handle him."  They nodded and sat by their Fuqin with very smug faces.  Ye Hua addressed the man.  "I suggest you keep your snide remarks to yourself unless you have no value for your life.  They could have just killed you.  Now go back to your seat and shut your mouth until everything is revealed."  The man bowed low to Ye Hua and then to the girls.  He returned to his seat.  Ye Hua continued.  "Lord Baohu, how do you explain yourself to this realm?"  Baohu bowed to Ye Hua, Donghua Dijun and his Fuqin and the court.  "Tianjun, I honestly don't remember a lot of what I did.  Some bits and pieces I do, but the rest is jumbled in my mind and I am unable to sort it out.  I humbly beg your indulgence.  Bai Xue, my Da ge and Chief of the Internal Bureau of Realm Security knows everything.  I can only place myself at your mercy and the mercy of the realm."  "As God of War, how did you not know that your eyes were indeed your weak spot?"  "I honestly can't say.  I thought they were protected.  Maybe I had one spot there.  Bai Zhi Jinzi, Medicine King of Qing Qui, could explain it better."  "High God Bai Zhi Jinzi come forward!"  Jinzi came and stood by Baohu and bowed to the room.  "Please tell us why God of War Bai Baohu Zhe had a weak spot in his eyes."  Jinzi bowed to Ye Hua and explained.  "Tianjun, it's not that his eyes were weak, it's where the Demon Queen threw the spell.  There's one place on the eye that is vulnerable at all times, the pupil.  She threw her spell right into his pupils, the one area he couldn't protect.  If I hadn't checked his eyes on the advice of General Kai, he would have been blind for the rest of his life.  I have withdrawn the spell from him and the poison she used.  I have it here."  Jinzi brought forth the bottle with the orange glow in it.  "So you're telling me, your ruler, and this court that the spell the Demon Queen cast caused extreme sexual violence, memory lapse, drunken rage and blindness?"  "I am.  The spell caused High God Bai Baohu Zhe to go into rut, a very dangerous period for a male nine tailed huli.  It causes extreme desire and violence if the huli does not receive relief from his sexual period of rut.  I know this for I myself have gone through it with my wife.  Lord Baohu could not receive relief from his pregnant wife and violence ensued.  High Goddess Bai Qian had to put him into a dream scape to relieve his tension, but it was not totally successful.  As a result, High God Mo Yuan, our Fuqin, nearly killed Lord Baohu after he attacked our mother.  You, Tianjun, sent Lord Baohu on a sixty day trial as a result.  In my medical opinion, even though Lord Baohu is my twin brother, there is no way we could have known the effects of this spell if not for General Kai." 
     Ye Hua nodded.  "I pass judgement to Donghua Dijun, as I am Shushu to Lord Baohu and could be biased.  Dijun, please bring justice!"  Donghua Dijun stood and walked over to the man he had a fond spot for ever since he showed up in his palace as a very willful young huli.  "Upon hearing the evidence brought today, I believe that the trial Lord Baohu suffered through was enough punishment.  It is enough that he has lost his mate, for nine tailed Hulis only mate once for life.  He has been damaged both mentally and physically.  He tried to kill himself as a result of learning just what he had done.  He actually cut his vocal cords and was unable to speak.  His little jiemei healed him.  It is enough that he must regain his honor and prove to this realm that he is worthy to hold the position as God of War.  Shao Wan has only been beaten by one other man, High God Mo Yuan.  It speaks volumes that even though she charmed him, he still defeated her.  My judgement is that he keeps his post as God of War.  While he recovers, High God Mo JinDe will substitute for him.  Is there any dissent?"  Ye Hua stood and looked over the room.  No one dared speak.  "Speak!  I can read your unease!  Speak!"  One general came forward.  "Tianjun, if General Kai Yonggan Ke can forgive Lord Baohu for the death of his only daughter, surely we can too?"  There were many nods and agreement.  "High God Bai Baohu Zhe!  Return to Kunlun and recover.  You may be needed in the future.  This realm needs you!  I have spoken!"  With that Ye Hua left the throne room and a buzzing crowd.  Jingsi and Jiaxiao flew to their Si ge.  "Si ge!  You be God of War!  You strong!  You brave!  We go home now!"  They went into his arms and disappeared from the throne room with him.  Bai Xue laughed out loud as dark clouds gathered on his Fuqin's face.  "Fuqin, you have been one upped by little pure white dragons again!"  Mo Yuan planted his face in his hand.  What could he do at this point?  They were only protecting the brother they love dearly.  All because he was a Xiao Jin Huli!  He gathered his family and they returned to their hall to see Jingsi and Jiaxiao sitting in Baohu's lap while Junjie helped him drink some tea.  He was indeed outdone. 
     Ye Hua was very busy sending and receiving messages from the realms concerning Dijun's judgment.  So far there had only been one who was displeased.  After several messages, he too decided it could not have been handled any other way.  Ye Hua called Bai Xue to his study.  He entered and bowed.  "You called for me, Shushu?"  "Yes, I did.  I wish for you to keep tabs on the people on this list.  Get your best people on it.  I want to know who gave Shao Wan the information she needed to get that spell she used.  There is a rat in this whole mess and I want to know who."  "I'll get on it right away.  By the way, Baohu came back from his trial very troubled, but Jingsi and Jiaxiao helped him get on the right track."  "Those Xiao Bailongs have a whole lot of cultivation.  I was shocked when they threw that ruler to the ground.  Mo Yuan has his hands full for sure."  "Shushu, have you noticed that they have a very high sense of what is right and what is wrong?  They also refuse to let any family member be attacked or hurt.  That includes you too.  Let's run a test.  Tomorrow morning, have a soldier act like he is an enemy and attack you.  I'll have them there to see what they do."  "Alright then!  Bring them to the training grounds in the morning.  We shall see!"
     Mo Yuan had looked at the little bracelets that Ye Hua had given the baby girls very carefully.  He knew where those bracelets came from.  He smiled.  He knew they were very special and always would be.  He decided to help them learn better spells to strengthen them.  That is if he could get them away from Baohu.  They were stuck to him like glue.  Ye Hua had sent him a message to meet him at the training grounds with the baby girls.  He wondered what he was up too.  He decided to have a little talk with them.  He knew right where to find them.  He went to the nursery first.  They weren't there.  He went to Baohu's room.  They were there along with Fengbao and WuYun.  Baohu was telling them about JinDe being wounded during the mermaid wars and how brave he was.  "Er ge is very brave and powerful.  Let him teach you how to use your weapons.  He is almost as good as Fuqin with weapons.  When the snake queen attacked Da ge, Er ge jumped up and struck her with his sword, Bei Bing.  He was magnificent!  And Fuqin!!  Fuqin is the most powerful of all!  The people of every realm fear him!  He is that powerful.  That's why I love him so much, because he is what he is!  Always listen to Fuqin!  He will never teach you wrong!"  "Si ge, you powerful too?"  "Yes, but Fuqin can beat me.  Let him train you.  Fengbao and WuYun, I will get my Zufu, your zengzufu, to come train you in your huli magic.  He taught me."  Mo Yuan walked in and smiled.  "Good morning!  Fuqin has come to take all of you on an adventure.  Are you ready?"  "Fuqin, I would rather not right now."  "Baohu, I will not take no for an answer.  Come along!"  "See?  Even Si ge has to do what Fuqin says!"  "Indeed!  We're off to the training grounds."
     Ye Hua tried to spend at least one day a week training.  He had learned a long time ago from a very insistent Da ge that training was essential.  He saw Mo Yuan seat Baohu in the pavilion along with Fengbao, WuYun, Jingsi and Jiaxiao.  Mo Yuan sat with them to observe.  Ye Hua was working with Mo JinDe when he had a soldier attack him from behind.  Before he could move, Jingsi and Jiaxiao were sitting on a very immobile soldier.  Mo Yuan looked up in absolute surprise.  He realized they had jumped just that fast to protect their Shushu.  Ye Hua turned and saw them sitting there waiting for him to tell them what to do.  "Jingsi!  Jiaxiao!  Let him go and come to Shushu!"  They patted the man and jumped right to Ye Hua.  He hugged them and kissed them.  "Thank you for protecting me.  Now go back to your Fuqin.  I see him watching you."  "We no need to kill bad man?"  "No.  Shushu will take care of it.  Now go get some tea."  Mo Yuan patiently waited for them to come to him.  They came into his arms and sat on his lap.  He looked at them with a raised brow.  Jingsi patted her Fuqin on the face and smiled.  Bai Xue came to the pavilion and took a seat.  "Ho Fuqin!  You're surrounded by Xiao Bailongs and Xiao Bai hulis!  Baohu!  Are you better today?  What about your eyes?"  "Da ge, there is some pain but I feel they are getting better."  "Good!  Good!  Come to Da ge, my Xiao Bailongs!"  They held out their hands to go to him.  He gave both of them a kiss.  "Da ge!  You big bad dragin?"  "I don't know about bad, but I'm big.  Do you wish to see me?"  "Jiaxiao wishes it!  Please?"  Bai Xue transformed right in front of the pavilion.  He blew dragon kisses over them.  They giggled and reached for his face.  "Ooo, Da ge, you real pretty!"  He came close and let them touch his face.  He blew more kisses and transformed back.  They went to him.  He hugged them close.  "So is Da ge big and bad?"  "Da ge big and bad!"  He handed them back to their Fuqin.  "Just when are you going on that vacation, Fuqin?"  "Soon.  In fact, I'm here to talk to Ye Hua about taking his children with us.  But first, I have three weddings to plan.  Vacation will have to wait until they are all married."
     Bai Xue watched his Fuqin leave and then he reported to Tianjun.  He bowed to address him.  "Come to my study, Lord Bai Xue.  We have much to discuss."  Xue nodded and followed him.  Ye Hua sat down and poured tea for them.  "I assume you have information for me?"  "Indeed I do!  I have thoroughly investigated everyone on the list you gave me.  There is one who I find to be interesting.  He is that duke from Qiang de Hei's kingdom.  He disappeared after Shao Wan left but he has resurfaced.  I haven't sent any messages to Hei about him.  I wanted to talk to you first."  "Yes it is that duke that worries me.  I want to send messages to Hei to oust him from their kingdom.  He collaborated with the enemy and then disappeared.  Where was he?  What was he doing?  Who is he?  I'll message Hei and have him send information.  Better yet, I'll have him come for a short meeting.  Gather what you can and I'll call you when he comes."  Bai Xue bowed and hurriedly went straight to his office.  He gathered his reports and called Junjie to him.  Junjie was there in just a few minutes.  "You needed me, Da ge?"  "Yes, I do.  I need you to help me go through my scrolls quickly.  Anything on Duke Mao Tang He of the snow leopard realm I want separate from the rest.  Let's get started."  It took the better part of an hour.  "Good work, didi!  When Tianjun calls us for a meeting, I want you to come too.  I'm going to train you as my aide and also to be a master spy.  Are you interested?"  "Yes!  I want to be a help to our realm, not a useless little didi who does nothing.  I'm ready!"  "Good!  I have a list of spells here you need to master.  Plus I know your combat skills are very good but I want Fuqin to tune and hone them just a bit.  Are you prepared for that?"  "If Jinlong comes out, I will fall down and play dead.  I want no part of him ever again!!"  Bai Xue laughed out loud.  "I can't say as I blame you.  He was slinging you like a ragdoll.  Fuqin just isn't slowing down any!  You do realize he's 400,000 years old?  Sometimes when I look at him, it's just hard to believe it.  Well let's write our report.  Then lunch!"
     Ye Hua called for Bai Xue after lunch.  Xue had Junjie carry their report and all scrolls.  They both bowed and sat across from Ye Hua.  "Tell me what you have found."  "Shushu, I remembered that Baohu said that duke was not a snow leopard.  I read that report.  It seems we have a very accomplished spy in that realm.  I suggest you send King Mao Qiang de Hei a message right away.  We need to root out this man and quickly."  "Very well.  I will send a message for him to be here after lunch tomorrow.  I will message you to come then.  Leave the reports with me.  I wish to read over them."  "Junjie has them.  He is beginning training to be my aide.  He needs to learn some things from Fuqin."  "There is no one better to learn from!  Very well!  I will see you tomorrow."
        Xue and Junjie walked back to the office.  Junjie sat across from Xue and drank his tea in silence.  "Out with it!  What's bothering you, Junjie?"  "Da ge, please don't think ill of me, but I'm afraid of Jinlong.  Deathly afraid!  He nearly killed me!  What if I can't live up to his expectations?  Will he hurt me again?"  Bai Xue looked into his didi's eyes.  He brought forth Bailong.  "Shandian Jinlong!  Come here and talk to me!"  Junjie hung his head and brought forth his dragon.  He wouldn't look his Da ge in the eye.  "Why won't you look at me?  Look at me!"  Junjie raised his head and looked at Xue in absolute terror.  He raised his hands in defense.  "Don't hurt me!  Please don't hurt me!"  "Shandian Jinlong!  I'm not here to hurt you, I want to know what's wrong!  Why are you afraid?  Can you talk about it?  Is your spirit misaligned?  Tell me so I can help you!"  "Bailong, Fuqin hurt me really bad.  I still feel pain.  Just the thought of seeing him scares me!  Plus he hasn't taught me how to use fire yet.  Da ge, I want to train to help you, I really do, but I'm not sure I can train under Jinlong.  He terrifies me.  He terrifies me!!"  Bailong stood up and walked around his desk.  He knelt down by Junjie and took his trembling body into his arms.  "It's ok, didi!  It's ok!  If Fuqin knew you were scared of him, he would be broken hearted.  He loves you!  Let me call him to us.  Don't be afraid anymore."  Bailong opened his mind and called his Fuqin.  "Fuqin, please come to my office!  Hurry!"  He was still holding on to Junjie when Mo Yuan walked in.  He spoke silently to him.  "Fuqin, I just found out that Shandian Jinlong is terrified of Jinlong.  So terrified that I'm not sure what to do!  Please talk to him?  Jinlong?"  Xue very carefully transferred Junjie into his Fuqin's arms.  Jinlong purred his softest purr and talked to Shandian Jinlong.  "My son, my son!  Fuqin is so sorry he hurt you!  What can I, Jinlong, do to make it up to you?"  "Fuqin, please don't hurt me!  I'm weak!  I'm not big like you and Mo Jinlong.  I'm useless!"  Jinlong looked up at Bailong with heartbreak in his eyes.  He placed Shandian Jinlong right on his neck vein and sang the lullaby to him.  Some would think he had lost his mind, singing that song to a grown man, but Shandian Jinlong needed to hear the sound of his Fuqin's comforting voice.  He needed to feel the love Jinlong had for him, not the anger.  He relaxed in Jinlong's arms and then he wept.  He wept the tears he had been holding in for so long.  He held on to his Fuqin until every dragon tear was spent.  He raised up and wiped the tears from his face.  Jinlong raised his hands and used his thumbs to clean his face.  He smiled at him.  "My son, you are not small or weak.  You are an asset to this mountain.  That's why I wanted you to train with your Da ge!  I will help him train you.  You just happen to have a lot of power in your tail!  Now go to your room, or better yet, find Baishan.  We must message her Fuqin to set a date for your wedding."  He nodded, rose up and bowed to leave.  When he walked out the door, Mo Yuan broke down and cried the hardest he had ever cried in his life.  He had to get his temper under control!  He had to!!
