Rescue Me, My Love

Take a Little Trip

Lian Song and Si Ming came in exactly one week after their last visit. Die Feng brought them to Mo Yuan's study. "Well gentlemen, we must make a trip to Qing Qui to pick up your packages. Follow me." He went to the playroom. Little voices met him as he walked in. "Qian'er, I'm taking Lian Song and Si Ming to Qing Qui to get their packages. Do you need anything?" "Yes, we do! We are going with you!" Mo Yuan was sure this was about to be a disaster. "Alright! Listen carefully to what Fuqin is going to say. I won't repeat myself. Stay close to me or your Mother at all times. No running or pulling pranks on the vendors at the market. No eating anything without paying for it. Absolutely no transforming while we are there. No spell casting unless you ask Fuqin first. Understood?" Nods all around. "Yi, Yan and Yingjie, you three stay with me. Come, my dear!" He jumped them all on a fast cloud to Qing Qui. Having never been to the market, the children were in awe. They stuck to Mo Yuan like glue. They stopped at the cloth vendor first. "High God Mo Yuan! Your clothing for these gentlemen is ready, but what have we here?" "These are my children and two sunzis! This is their first outing to the market." Jiaxiao was tugging on his sleeve. "You see something?" She reached up for him to pick her up. "Fuqin, Jiaxiao wants a pretty dress made out of that." She pointed at a very vibrant red cloth. It was linen. "Can you make her robes out of that?" "Yes, I can, if that is what she wants." "Qian'er, Jiaxiao wants robes made out of this cloth." Bai Qian frowned. "Jiaxiao, that cloth is supposed to be used to make wedding dresses. Don't you see another color that you like?" Jiaxiao frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Er ge wear red. Jiaxiao wear red." Mo Yuan, mentally planting his face in his hand, sighed. "Alright, but your robes will be made just like Er ge's, not your mother's. Your choice." "Jiaxiao want red robes like Er ge but want white dragon on it." "Very well. Make her a robe exactly like the elite guard robes of High God Mo JinDe. Embroider white dragons for trim. Message me when it's ready." Jingsi tugged on his robe. "Fuqin, Jingsi want one too." He sighed and looked at the smiling vendor. "Make that two. No, just make robes for all nine of them. These two with golden dragon trim, these five with white huli trim. Come here so this young woman can measure you." Si Ming was smiling as he watched High God Mo Yuan turn into a big soft dragon with his children. Who would have known? They left there and went to the leather vendor. "I need belts just like these to fit these children. Come let this young master get measurements." They went to the weapons master and picked up their throwing stars. Last stop was to get some fruit. He bought plums, strawberries, blueberries and loquats. With a wave of his hand, he sent them to the kitchen. "I believe we have all that we need. Qian'er, do you need anything?" "Hairpins for these children." "Ah yes! Come along!" Rong saw them coming and marveled. Children! "High God Mo Yuan! I have your..." Mo Yuan spoke into his mind. "Don't say it! It's a surprise!" "I have stone just right to make Hairpins for these children. Are all of them yours?" "All but these two. They are my sunzis. Rong, I need Hairpins for these children made just like High God Mo JinDe wears to match his elite guard robes. Do you need anything to make them?" "I have it, but Lord JinDe just had a new pin made out of that red stone with gold accents. Do you wish to see it?" "A new design? Hmmm, let me see it." The new pin design was quite handsome. It was the main base carved with intricate cloud designs cut out like lace. The pin was stone with a golden dragon wrapped around it. "Very nice! Make two with the golden dragon, two with white dragon and five with nine tailed hulis. Will that work?" "Yes! I'll get right to it!" "Call me when they are ready. Save the other for that time, if you will?" Rong understood and nodded. "Now we are off for home!" He jumped them back to Kunlun.
Once he settled the children, he took Lian Song and Si Ming to the armory. "I have daggers for you to carry on your belts. You have your own swords?" Both nodded. "Good, let's make one more trip. We must visit Jinzi to get that herb you need. Let's eat lunch and then we will go." Conversation was lively at the table. Jiaxiao was quite taken with Lian Song. She got into his lap and looked right into his soft brown eyes. She read him like a book. "Shushu say you were his Sanshu. You God of Love. You have many girlfriends, hmmm?" Slightly caught off guard by her frank manner of speaking, he was momentarily speechless. "Jiaxiao! Don't be nosy!" She looked at her mother in shock. "Mother, Jiaxiao just want to know!" "Actually, sweet one, I don't. True love is worth waiting for. Like your Fuqin and mother. He waited for her a long time and she waited on him!" "Fuqin! How long you wait for Mother?" "Two hundred and thirty thousand years." Jiaxiao was confused. "But Fuqin, you young man! How you get so old?" "Jiaxiao, Fuqin is old, I just look young." "But Fuqin, if you old, you die!" Jiaxiao set into crying very hard. She flew to her mother and cried until Jingsi joined her in her sorrow. Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Mo Yuan was about to call them to him when Yi, Yan and Yingjie set into crying too. Seeing the situation getting totally out of hand, Mo Yuan motioned for Taiyang and Zhenzhu to play their dizis. They played the lullaby and the crying soon ceased.  "Fuqin is old, but I'm not going anywhere, so cease your crying.  You should treat our guests better.  Now eat your lunch." 
     After lunch Mo Yuan took Lian Song and Si Ming to see Jinzi.  Both of them were very impressed.  They walked into the school to see the beginner class in session.  Jinzi set them to there reading and walked through them to his Fuqin.  "Fuqin, how can I help you today?"  "These two gentlemen need that herb to aid them in the land of the yeren.  They are being sent as emissaries for Tianjun Ye Hua."  Jinzi nodded and pointed, "right this way gentlemen."  He led them into the room where his herbs and plants were.  Lian Song and Si Ming looked about in amazement.  "This is fantastic!  Lord Jinzi, you have really become a very great medicine king!"  Lian Song was amazed.  Si Ming was speechless.  Jinzi made the pills and handed each a small bag.  "Take one the morning you leave and one every third morning.  This will aid you in regulating your temperature."  They both bowed.  "Thank you!"  Mo Yuan jumped them back to Kunlun.  They went to his study to finish with their plan.   "I will help you prepare packs for you to carry.  We had meat buns and plenty of dried fruit.  We also had cake if you like it.  Bring your own tea.  Their spiced wine is quite good if you heat it first.  If they put you in a room with a hot spring, use it.  It topped off my power very nicely.  They are starved for any gossip about the other realms.  They will enjoy stories.  You two should be able to accommodate them.  Hopefully you can survive the cold.  It's brutal.  Anything else you need, just let me know before you go.  Now go get yourself prepared to leave and come back to me when you are ready." 
     Mo Yuan had Chang Shan prepare the food stuffs they would need for their trip.  He had it all ready when they returned dressed out ready to go.  He handed each one of them a pack with food.  "This should be enough.  If, for any reason, you find yourself staying longer, just message me and I will send JinDe with more supplies for you.  Safe travels!"  Lian Song and Si Ming arrived at the gates right where Mo Yuan had showed them on the map.  They rang the gong and waited.  Two yeren came to get them.  They both realized the territory and weather was indeed harsh, but the people seemed friendly.  They walked for four hours to get to the throne room.  Lian Song bowed and announced them.  "Great king of the Yeren!  We are emissaries sent to you from Tianjun Ye Hua, ruler of the nine heavens, son of Fuxi, didi of Mo Yuan and ruler of Kunlun.  He has sent us in good faith and to thank you for the gift you sent.  He wishes to know your needs and wants and has a desire to aid your kingdom."  "Our kingdom wants for nothing except news of the other realms.  We have been closed off for too long!  Do you have news?"  "Indeed we do!  I am the God of Love and my colleague here is a star lord under Donghua Dijun!  He is the keeper of destiny for mortals and writes trials for immortals.  We have all the juicy gossip there is to know!!"  The king brought seats for them and they began to tell their tales.  For four days they entertained the king and his people.  When it was time for them to leave, they were sad and begged them to return to tell more tales.  They left the land of the yeren bearing messages and gifts of rare metals and stones. 
     Lian Song brought a message to Mo Yuan from the king.  He bowed and handed him the message.  "High God Mo Yuan, the yeren king asked after you and the huli triplets.  He sent this gift to them."  Mo Yuan took the box and opened it.  He was rather surprised.  Inside the box were three pendants made of ice blue jade.  He picked one up and examined the design.  It was a nine tailed huli standing on a hilltop.  "You should read the message.  I believe it tells you the meaning behind them.  Well I'm off!"  He bowed and left.  Mo Yuan opened the scroll and read the message from the yeren king. 
     High God Mo Yuan,
I have sent this message to once again thank you for your aid and thank you for having Tianjun Ye Hua send his emissaries to us.  They were delightful!!  Their stories were very good.  Some very sad, some hilarious and some history.  One day I wish to meet your son, the huli who is now the God of War.  I hear he killed that demon queen.  Good for him!!  I have sent these tokens to the little hulis to help protect them from any malevolent spirits.  Have them wear them on their belts.  Once again, thank you for bringing us more joy than we have had in millennia!!  I am forever your friend and ally.

     Mo Yuan smiled as he read the message.  He made a mental note to take the younger children to see him.   He had been running over in his mind to have the children learn the realms the same way he did, by traveling there and meeting the monarchs.  He filed his thought for later and stood up to go to the arena.  He was met by Xue coming down the hall.  He was holding his baby girls in his arms.  "Well what have we here, hmmm?  Why its the Hua bailongs!!  Come to Zufu!"  Totally forsaking their Fuqin, they went straight into the arms of Mo Yuan.  He kissed them both on the cheek.  "Where were you headed, eldest son of mine?"  "Actually, I was coming to talk to you and let these girls play with the others.  Are they in the play room?"  "I was about to go there.  The yeren king sent a gift to the hulis.  It seems that Lian Song and Si Ming were a big hit with them.  He wants them to come back.  I've actually been thinking of taking the children on a tour of the realms to meet the monarchs and learn about their lands.  What do you think?"  "Even the older ones too?  It would probably benefit Jiao-long Ming, since he is about to be named crown prince.  I'll have Shushu message you about it.  I would let Fenli and Ali go.  Could you handle all of them?  You would have quite the entourage!"  "I would let Ming take on some responsibility.  It would be good for him.  I'll try to get together my itinerary.  Now let's go to the playroom and see what kind of mayhem is afoot!"
     Mayhem was indeed afoot.  "Yingjie, just think us to the arena!  We won't have to walk there!"  "Fuqin say for Yingjie not to transport for stupid things.  You lazy.  Yingjie walk for training."  Mo Yuan nodded and addressed his lazy students.  "Yingjie is right!  Transport yourself or walk!  Fuqin is proud that Yingjie has been listening.  Look who's here!  Your Da ge has come and brought his girls!"  Jiaxiao ran over when Mo Yuan sat down with Meigui and Yulan.  "Oooh Da ge, they so pretty!"  "Come give me a hug, Jiaxiao!  Da ge has missed you!"  "Just don't wrinkle my dress please.  I won't look proper if you do."  Bai Xue looked at his Fuqin and then his very proper baby jiemei.  "Well I will do my best not to.  If I do I can promise you I will repair the damage.  Now come give your old Da ge a kiss!"  She very properly kissed his cheek and waited for him to kiss hers.  He swung her up into his arms and kissed her with a big smack.  He set her back down and looked at her face.  "Da ge!  You messed up my dress!!"  He waved his hand and repaired it.  "All better?"  "Hmmmph!"  She turned up her nose and returned to play with her doll.  "Touchy!  Girls just have a different way of thinking, I suppose."  "Indeed they do!  I just wonder what has her trying to be so proper all of a sudden.  Qian'er should be here in a minute.  We can leave your girls with her and take these to the arena for their training session."
     When Bai Qian walked in he knew right away what had Jiaxiao acting so proper.  She was copying her mother.  And what a beautiful example she was!!  "Look who I have here, Qian'er!"  She sat beside him and tickled them both.  "Come to Zumu, my girls!  Let's play!"  She took them both to sit on the floor and gave them toys to play with.  She played with them while Mo Yuan gathered up his students for their training session.  Jiaxiao sat by her mother.  "Come Jiaxiao, it's time for training."  "Fuqin, Jiaxiao does not wish to train.  Jiaxiao wishes to stay with mother."  "I won't tell you again.  Now get up and go to the arena!"  She stood up and huffed.  She crossed her arms over her chest just like JinDe and growled.  Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes and knelt beside her.  His eyes turned gold just as he looked her in the eye and he growled.  Seeing her Fuqin in dragon mode changed her mind quickly.  "Fuqin is mean!"  "No Fuqin expects you to tend to your business.  Now go or be punished."  She disappeared right in front of him.  He stood and motioned Xue to follow him to the arena.  When he got there, JinDe had them all lined up practicing their hand spells, all except for Jiaxiao.  She had her arms crossed and her nose in the air.  JinDe was about to zap her when his Fuqin did it for him.  "Stop, Er ge!!"  Mo Yuan huffed.  "Huff, huff, huff!  If it was your Er ge, he would not stop and neither will I!  Now practice your spells!!"  Jiaxiao creased her brow with determination.  "Fuqin, Jiaxiao does not wish to do it.  Jiaxiao wishes to watch."  "Jiaxiao will do it or I will take you over my knee and I will take away your Piaoliang and Huowei."  "Fuqin is mean to Jiaxiao!"  "Fuqin wants Jiaxiao to be as powerful as her mother.  Jiaxiao is weak because she doesn't train properly."  "Mother doesn't train."  "Yes she does.  Ask Er ge who kicked his butt all over the arena!  Ask Si ge who beat him to a bloody mess!"  "Er ge!  Did Mother beat you up?"  "Why yes, she did!  Beat all of us.  Punched me right in the nose and knocked me out cold."  "Jiaxiao does not believe Er ge!  Er ge trick us all the time!"  Mo Yuan was getting angrier by the minute.  "Jiaxiao, practice now or I will take you to your room.  Understand?"  "Hmmph!"  He turned her toward the targets and waited.  Seeing he meant business, she powered up her hand and hit the target.  "Now see?  That wasn't so hard, was it?"  "Noooo!"  "Time for weapons training!!  Now come along!"  He passed out their practice swords.  Gaoxing was aggravated because he wanted a real sword.  "Fuqin!  Why can't I have a real sword?  This is a child's sword."  "Very well!  Take this practice sword and show me the sword dance with no mistakes.  Now!"  Gaoxing took on a look of determination and went to the middle of the ring.  He started off his dance.  When he had to swing the sword over his head, he stumbled.  Twice more he stumbled.  He went to his Fuqin with his head down.  "When you can do that dance without one stumble or mistake, then you can use a real blade, not before.  Do you have any questions now?"  "I understand now, Fuqin.  Gaoxing needs to learn more."  "Good!  Now practice!
     The next morning Mo Yuan went to Ye Hua's study.  He had a room full of people.  Jia Yun announced him.  Mo Yuan, seeing the crowd there, spoke to Ye Hua.  "I can see you are busy, Tianjun.  I will return at a more opportune time."  "We are finished here.  I was about to dismiss this meeting."  "I shall wait then."  The crowd left as Mo Yuan took a seat and waited for the room to clear.  When the last one left, Ye Hua sat down and ordered fresh tea.  "So Da ge, how are you?  I never see you."  Mo Yuan sensed a twinge of sadness in Ye Hua's voice.  "I know the realm weighs heavy on you, Ye Hua.  I try not to burden you."  "Da ge, I'm going to name Jaio-long Ming as Taizi Dianxia.  I was going to ask you to help him to adjust.  Will you?"  "That is why I am here.  I want to take the children on a tour of all the realms.  I want to take all of yours too.  Ming could meet all of the monarchs and learn where all the realms and kingdoms are."  "An excellent idea!!  When would you be leaving?"  "I'm thinking in a month.  I will make all of the arrangements.  We will take another trip to the yeren, but that will be last.  We will tour the dark lands too.  I wish for Ming to be prepared, the same as you were."  "This will be a great help to me for sure.  I had been thinking about doing it myself."  "I would prefer you let me take them.  Most monarchs know me so it should go smoothly.  I'm taking nine of my children, four of yours and six of my grandchildren.  Quite the group!"  "I hope you will let Ming show you his leadership skills.  I have tried to teach him everything you taught me.  How well I remembered my fearsome Da ge teaching me!!"  "Ye Hua, I remember well what an excellent student you were, too.  Is Ming as smart as you?"  "Not quite, but he has a lot of deductive power and he learns fast.  I'm quite proud of my children!"  "Good.  I will arrange everything and let you know when we will be leaving."  They talked for a few minutes more before duty called Ye Hua away.
     The next morning, Mo Yuan was in the play room telling Bai Qian his plans.  "I wish for you to be by my side, Qian'er.  I won't ask you to go to the colder realms, but would you consider it?  Please?"  "Dearest, where you go, I will go.  So the answer is yes, I will go with you!  When do we leave?"  "I told Ye Hua a month from now.  Jiao-long Ming is mainly going to let me help him with his leadership skills.  Ye Hua is going to name him Taizi Dianxia soon."  "Oh really?  Well it's about time!  He has ruled without any help for a long time."  "Yes, he has, but he has been an exceptional ruler and the people adore him.  One thing we must do is prepare these young children.  They must behave with the utmost of decorum as my children.  I can only make it clear to them how important it will be.  Jingsi seems to think she can sit in anyone's lap and query them to her heart's content.  Hopefully I can make her see that she must behave!"  "Well dearest, you can try.  You are getting rather soft in your dotage."  "Are you calling me old and soft?"  His eyes turned gold and he seductively growled in her ear.   He called Taiyang and Zhenzhu to him.  "Watch these children for a while please.  We shall return later.  Take them to JinDe for their lessons."  With that he grabbed Bai Qian around the waist and jumped her to the den.  He threw up a barrier and they spent the morning and afternoon making love there.  When they emerged, he grinned and whispered in her ear, "am I old, Xiao Bai Huli?  Are you satisfied or should we go to Yanhua cave for a mate session?  I feel quite like a full mate session.  You laying on my stomach, my hands caressing your body, my rod bringing you pleasure as I knock your inner door to open for my seed.  Your tails caressing my sack as only you can.  Your sweet nectar on my tongue, hmmm!"  His eyes swirled with an inner fire as he low growled his call to her.  His dragon call to mate with him that she could never refuse.  She grabbed his face in both hands and kissed him hard.  They did indeed go to Yanhua cave.  They mated for two days before they were found by a whole group of irate children who wanted their parents!
