Bai Xue waited patiently for Jinzi to come to him. When the knock came on his door, he jumped. He had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't heard Jinzi approach. "Enter." "Da ge, you wanted to see me?" "Jinzi, I'm about to tell you some things that I want kept quiet for a while. You seem to have a sensible attitude so I believe I can trust you. I don't want anything I say to leave this room. Understand?" "I understand." "Jinzi, I want to know exactly how much danger Mother is in. Don't gloss it over." Jinzi looked Bai Xue in the eye and told him the truth. "Da ge, I'm afraid we might lose Mother. It's that bad. Plus she is having twins. These are Hulis. Twin hulis. I haven't told her or Fuqin yet." "I wanted to know because I too feel in my spirit that Mother is very fragile. Also I talked to Zufu this morning after I talked to Fuqin. He has more gray hair. I also know that Shushu has been upset because he says because Fuqin has started to age, they don't look identical anymore. Zufu said that Fuqin is on the down side now. Jinzi, you and I can be sensible. I don't want to lose Mother or Fuqin, but if Mother dies, we have to make Fuqin stay. He has to at least get Jingsi and Jiaxiao through their trial. Do you think we can do it?" "Da ge, I would have to put Fuqin in a coma for a few days and I would have to remove the dragon tear and return it to him. I'm not sure what Jinlong will do. He may try to kill himself. Maybe we can reason with him. We would just have to see. Should we talk to Zhe Yan?" Jinzi hung his head. "Da ge, Shifu has been unwell. He's slightly older than Fuqin. He has said his calamity is near. I'm afraid this would not help him any." "It's settled then. This is between you and I. How was Mother?" "I haven't checked her yet. I'm going there now." "Very good. I'll come with you." Jinzi and Xue found their mother in the playroom with the younger children. She was trying to break up a wrestling match between Gaoxing and Xingfu. Jinzi ran in and broke it up. "MOTHER! You absolutely cannot be doing things like this! Keep Taiyang and Zhenzhu with you to do it. You must be very cautious from now on!" Rather taken aback by his attitude, she agreed. "Alright, I promise I'll be more careful. I'll keep Taiyang and Zhenzhu with me. I promise." "I came to check you over. Sit still please." He scanned her and checked her pulse. He nodded to himself. "It's twins, Mother. Huli twins. Boys I believe." "Did you say hulis?" "Yes, I did! Now rest here and read to these children or teach them their numbers and letters. I'll be back to make sure you comply with my wishes!"
Jinzi and Xue went to the dragon den to check on their Fuqin. He was still there meditating. Jinzi sat in front of him and nearly gasped. He did have more white hair. A lot more. Jinzi touched his Fuqin on his arm and called him. "Fuqin! Wake up please!" Mo Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Jinzi and then Bai Xue. "What is it, Jinzi?" "Fuqin, I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but I'm concerned about you. Your hair is turning white." Shocked and a little disjointed, he called a mirror to his hand and looked. His hair was streaked with white around his face. His face didn't look any different than it had for millennia, but his hair was changing. He sent the mirror away and smoothed his hair with a visibly shaky hand. Jinzi took his hand and felt of his pulse. No problems there. He deep scanned him. He nodded. "You seem to be ok. Do you feel different, Fuqin? Have you expended your power? I feel you do need to meditate for a few days." "I can't. I have to take care of Qian'er." "No worries there, Fuqin. I have Taiyang and Zhenzhu staying by mother's side to make sure she does nothing that would jeopardize her. Also I have news." "What news?" "It's twins and they're boys, but they're hulis!!" "Hulis? How marvelous! Hulis!! Do you think they will be like you and Baohu or maybe like their mother?" "I can only speculate for now. By the way, Jingsi and Jiaxiao are wanting you. You should go to the playroom. Before I leave, I'm going to make elixer for you to take for a few days and before you complain, I'm letting Da ge make sure you take it! I'll also make those potions for mother. We want to keep her blood pressure regulated. You make sure she takes those walks, ok?" "I will. I will go check on her now. Hopefully the babies aren't scared of me now." "It's alright Fuqin. I believe they are ok now. Just show them the tender side of Jinlong." His eyes turned gold and he laughed. "Do I have a tender side, Xiao Jin Huli?" "Fuqin, you know you do! Now go regain your babies. Gaoxing and Xingfu are starting to get a swagger just like JinDe!" "Oh no! Before you know it they will be wearing armor and red robes like his elite troop armor! Alright then. Are you boys coming too?" Xue nodded. "Yes we will. I need to talk to my golden didi anyway."
Mo Yuan squared his shoulders and walked into the playroom. Taiyang was telling stories. They all turned to look when he walked in. "Are there any kisses for an old Fuqin in here?" Jiaxiao flew into his arms. She patted his chest and looked at him hard. "Fuqin sick. Fuqin sick. San ge, Fuqin sick!" Mo Yuan sat down with her and looked at Jinzi. "How do you know, Jiaxiao?" Her head tipped sideways as she thought. "Fuqin feel like a piece of his spirit gone. Check San ge!" Xue took her and Jinzi laid his Fuqin down on the day bed. He scanned him down to the bottom of his soul. He wavered as he finished. A small trail of blood came out of his nose. Zhenzhu grabbed his brother. "Well Fuqin, Jiaxiao is right. There are two pieces of your soul missing. We best find them quickly! I need Shushu here. Call him, Da ge!" Xue concentrated and called Ye Hua. "Shushu, I need you to come to the playroom please. It's important." Ye Hua was there within ten minutes. He took one look at Mo Yuan and fell down in front of his Da ge. He sobbed out his heartbreak. "Da ge! Please don't leave me! Don't!" "Ye Hua! I'm ok. I need your help." Ye Hua sat on the floor with his hand on Mo Yuan's leg. "Anything for you, Da ge." "Shushu, it seems that Fuqin has two pieces of his soul missing." "What did you say?" "Fuqin has two pieces of his soul missing. We need to find them." "What can I do, Jinzi?" "I need to scan you real quick if you don't mind." "Proceed then." Jinzi scanned Ye Hua hard for several minutes. Blood ran out of his nose as he retracted his own spirit and sat down. "Shushu, you have two pieces missing too. Let's think where you and Fuqin have been lately that you are together." They thought for a few minutes and pointed at each other. "The mountain top! We will be right back!"
They both sat on the bench together and crossed their arms. Fuxi came to them. "So my sons, what is wrong?" As one they spoke together. "You have the nerve to ask us, Fuqin?!?" He looked at them and took on the same stance they both take when they have been disrespected. "You think because I am a spirit that you can talk to me like this? You think because your mother will take your side that I will put up with it? Hmmm?" "Our souls have missing pieces!" "What?!?" They both nodded. "Nuwa!" She came and stood before them. "Nuwa! They both have two pieces of their souls missing!" "I know dear." "But dearest! This is serious! Please explain this!" She sat between them and sighed. "Ye Hua, I know you have been upset because Mo Yuan is starting to age some. He is 400,000 years old. You are only 170,000. I took the soul pieces. Sit still and I will return them." They looked at her with identical frowns. She brought forth the pieces. All four pieces glowed with a soft golden glow. "You see, my sons? They are identical. Even down to your very souls, you are identical. So who is who?" They both looked at the pieces in her hands and then up into her eyes. She smiled at them and swept her hands toward them. They closed their eyes as if in a dream and opened them together. "Ye Hua, I know you are upset because Mo Yuan has aged. It's only natural. You are also very acutely aware that he will leave you behind. I took the pieces to straighten you both out. Mo Yuan anchored himself to you when he sacrificed his soul to the bell. That is one reason he was able to come back. If the little huli had not kept Mo Yuan's body, I would have had you be born together, but that did not happen. So now you must accept that he will leave you. You should name a crown prince. It's possible you will go when he does. The grief may overtake you and your spirit will feel the tug to depart. Just know that I love you both." She stood and left them there together. They put an arm around each other and watched the clouds passing by. "Da ge." "Yes, Ye Hua?" "If I do feel the tug in my spirit to leave when you do, I wish to be brought to you so we can be together as we were in the beginning. Ok?" "Ok. I love you, Ye Hua, very much." "And I love you!"
They returned to the playroom feeling much better. Jinzi narrowed his eyes and looked between them. "So did Zufu and Zumu help you?" They answered in unison. "Yes!" "Well? Are you going to enlighten me?" "Mama had our soul pieces. It seems that Ye Hua had two of mine and I had his. It's how I anchored myself to return. We are fine now." Jiaxiao flew to her Fuqin and wrapped her little arms around his neck. "Fuqin?" "Hmmm?" "You not scream anymore, please? Me fraid of screaming dragin. Him bad when he scream." "I'll try my best not to, ok?" "Ok. We help Tai and Zhu today." "Oh? What did you do?" "We build new room for new didis. You want see?" "Tai, you show Fuqin!" He led the way to the new nursery. He knew it had once been Jinzi's room so he quirked his brow as Taiyang opened the door. He entered and was very surprised. Their cradle was there, but so was his own. It had been beautifully redone. Mo Yuan turned to Ye Hua. "Didi, look at the older crib please." He ran his hands over it and looked at the details. The mural carved and inlaid with precious jade and stones depicted two golden dragons playing together. He looked up at Mo Yuan. "It was meant to be ours, wasn't it Da ge?" "Yes. I was in it alone. I want you to have it, Didi. You just might have a set of dragons to go in it. You're still young." "It will be an heirloom for future rulers of heaven. Thank you, Da ge! I will show it to Yu Yu right away! Maybe claim I threw my back out bringing it. Sympathy, the hot pool, a good massage, you never know!" Mo Yuan laughed. "Well, hopefully you get plenty of sympathy then. Taiyang, Zhenzhu, you boys have done a wonderful job! Ye Hua, they are going to do a piece of art work for the gallery. They also are studying architecture. They want to be builders and I gave them my blessing!" "Oh really? When will this piece be ready? I have been thinking about that festival to let people of the realm look at the artwork and submit their own pieces." "Shushu, we have a piece ready." "Oh really? May we see it?" "Follow us!" They walked to the woodworking shop. There, covering the whole back wall, was a mural carved and inlaid with jade, mother of pearl, onyx, and many colored stones. It was a very detailed picture of the day Jinlong crashed into the valley. The details were so intricate that the blood on him looked real and it looked like it moved. "What do you think, Fuqin?" Ye Hua looked at him and smiled. "I think he's speechless! I think it's wonderful!! Move it to the gallery right away! Arrange the art work there to benefit the space. I choose you to do it because your artist's eyes will see it done right. I must say you boys are very talented! Very talented!" "Aren't they, Da ge?" Tears were running down his face. "You boys have really surprised me. Your artist abilities are amazing. I'm proud, my sons, very proud!"
With only three more days until the wedding, things were rather hectic, but Mo Yuan watched Bai Qian like a hawk. Her birthday surprise was ready so he wanted Taiyang and Zhenzhu to present it to her. "Qian'er, are you busy?" "No, I was just about to take a nap. Do you need me?" "Today is your birthday, isn't it?" "Is it? I forget!" "Follow me to our room." They walked to their room and he sat her on the bed. He called the boys to bring her chest. "Close your eyes now! We have a surprise for you!" Taiyang and Zhenzhu brought in the chest and sat it down. Mo Yuan spoke into their minds. "Go make sure everyone is ready to surprise your mother after she looks at your beautiful work." "Ok, open your eyes!" She looked and saw the chest with her name on it and gasped. "Oh, Mo Yuan, it's beautiful! Simply beautiful!!" "Who made it for you?" "I commissioned a pair of artist to design and build it for you." "Oh? Who are they? I would like to meet them." "May I introduce these artists, Mo Taiyang Guang and Mo Baise Zhenzhu, sons of High God Mo Yuan?" "Really? You boys are very talented! I love it! Its beautiful!" "Thank you, Mother! We must get about our business now!" "Mo Yuan, they are really as talented as Ye Hua. I'm so proud of them!" "Well, now that you have your own beautiful chest for your things, how about some tea and snacks? We have to keep these hulis happy!" They walked to the hall to find it full of people. "Happy birthday!!" She was very surprised. "You sneaky dragon!! You planned this! Thank you all! Let's eat!" Slowly everyone came by her seat and gave her a gift. Chen Bo gave her a beautiful handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms. Taiyang and Zhenzhu gave her a small box made out of onyx. JinDe and Mei Ying gave her a necklace of pink stones. Xue and Meili gave her earrings to match it. Baohu and Li Li gave her new robes made in lavender. Jinzi and Mi Shu gave her a bracelet to match her other jewelry. Lei and Hei sent her a jade carving of their family. Chu and Tian Shu sent her an ornately carved comb and brush. Gaoxing and Xingfu gave her a dragon hair pin made by Rong. Junjie and Baishan gave her a new mirror for her dresser. Last but not least, Jingsi and Jiaxiao gave her a hair wreath they made from flowers their Fuqin brought from their valley. For the rest of the afternoon they drank tea and talked to everyone until Mo Yuan noticed her yawn. He excused them and her took her to their room for a nap. He tucked her in and kissed her cheek. "Thank you for the party! I love you!" "And I, your ever faithful dragon, love you. Now rest. I will be back later!"
The day was at hand for Chen Bo to marry Hongse Fuhao Shenshi. Mo Yuan was nervous as he sent another daughter away to another realm. He felt in his heart that Shenshi would take her to many enchanted places and show her many realms before he took the throne. He sighed. His children were going on with their lives one by one. He was watching Taiyang and Zhenzhu very closely. He knew their high god trial was upon them. He couldn't explain it but he was nervous about it. They were both kind hearted, compassionate and loving. They loved their siblings deeply, and their mother, but they were attached to him and always had been. He looked around for one last check. Everything was ready. He went to Bo's room to find her mother finishing her hair and putting in the last hair piece. "My beautiful girl all pretty!" "Fuqin! I'm nervous!" "My lovely one, once he sees you and you take his hand, your nerves will be gone and you will soar above the clouds! Give me a hug now." The party from the realm of stags had come. They followed as Mo Yuan worked his magic and made fireworks of hulis and stags. Bo stood by Shenshi and they said their vows. As she was led away, Mo Yuan patted Shenshi on the shoulder and nodded. "Know that I will take care of her always! She is like a delicate rose that blooms in the spring. Beautiful to behold!" Bo was nervously waiting for him. When the door opened, she felt her heart skip a beat in anticipation. He raised her veil and fell into her eyes of honey brown. His hands cupped her face as he kissed her red lips. "Chen Bo, I love you! I will try not to hurt you. I will be gentle for you are my world. He kissed her as he carefully untied her robes and removed them one by one. When he removed her last robe and gazed upon her loveliness, she flipped her hand and he was naked. They fell on their bed together. Their passion was high as he feasted on her body. He tenderly kissed down her neck and down to feast on her breast. Back and forth from one to the other until finally he moved down between her legs to feast upon his greatest treasure. He blew his breath on her and licked up her slit to taste her nectar. He moaned in pleasure as he brought her to a swift climax. As she was in the throes of her passion filled climax, he entered her in one hard thrust. Her scream brought him to a halt to give her time for the pain to dissipate. Slowly he moved until she answered him in kind. For an hour they made love to each other. They arose and went to their banquet with love flushed cheeks and joined hands. Knowing she would be taken care of, Mo Yuan felt content that they were meant to be. They were drinking a toast to the bride and groom when thunder rumbled the hall. Again the thunder came and two bolts of lightning that struck Taiyang and Zhenzhu. Of all times it had happened! Their high god trail was upon them. Mo Yuan stood and called for quiet. "It seems that the time has come for their high god trial. I have been expecting it at any time. Please, resume the party as all is well!" Deep in his spirit he didn't feel well about it at all. He could only hope they would make it through in victory. For another hour they stayed and then they returned to their rooms to rest before they returned home. The next morning they were getting ready to return to Kunlun when Bo and Shenshi knocked on the door. "Fuqin, I wanted to bid you farewell alone. I feel like I won't see you again. I know it's silly. I want you to see my children. I want them to know you. Fuqin, please don't leave too soon!!" "My dearest Xiao Jin Huli! You know I must see your children! I have to uphold my reputation as mean Zufu!! Now give me a hug!" She hugged him tight and her mother. The younger children came in. Jiaxiao cried loudly. Mo Yuan took her into his arms. "What's wrong with Fuqin's baby girl, hmmm?" "Fuqin, me wants Tai and Zhu. Where they be?" "They were taken for their high god trial last night. They will be back soon. No worries. Now say goodbye to Bo and Shenshi so we can go home, ok?" She nodded and hugged them both. They gathered their luggage and stood at the gates of the realm. He waved and cloud jumped them to Kunlun.
