Moon Empress, Sun Emperor (Love In The Realms) #3

Chapter 1 (Sample)

Celestial Realm- Silver Spruce Woods (Fox Clan)

"Husband, we can't keep up with this. Shao Qing has never had her human form. If this continues then it will stain the image of the Mu Family." A woman wearing a light blue robe dress said. The man wearing a light grey and white robe stood beside her, her husband sighed holding his hands behind his back.

"She is my daughter but I know that she is seventy thousand years old now. Not a single sign that she has changed her form even once." Mu Zhong sighed rubbing his head to know that his only daughter was just a regular fox with no human form and one tail. Including the part where she is color blue and the only one in the fox clan.

Mu Shao Qing was a little blue fox hiding in the corridors of her home's hallway. Listening to her parents, they were always upset with her. "Hey?" Turning her head to see Mu Zhengsheng which was her older brother. He was of course born with two forms. He had his common black hair and green eyes all like their father. "What are you doing here in the hallway?"

Shaking her head to the sides, leaving the corridors. Mu Zhengsheng went over to see what his parents were talking about. "What do you want to do with her?" Their step-mother asked looking to their father.

"I think it's best that we just send her to the mortal's realm. She will just forever live there as a regular fox on their home." The door was forced open with Mu Zhengsheng angrily looking to the both of them.

"Father. Is this how you treat your daughter? She is the daughter that you both raised and you both are willing to have her abandoned in the mortal realm where foxes like us are hunted." Mu Zhengsheng was trying to hold his anger in but the thought of losing his little sister had him more unable to resist the urge to teach his parents a lesson like her bullies.

"Zhengsheng you are the next heir and lord of the fox clan. There are sacrifices that you must make to keep the family image as well as the fox clans. We do not keep regular foxes here unless they are just a spiritual fox." His father said having Mu Zhengsheng keep his angry look.

"You cannot talk back to your father like that! If only your mother didn't fail at having such a plain fox then things may have been better then!" Their step-mother was talking back to Mu Zhengsheng who looked to her then to their father.

"Father, if you think Shao Qing is just an ordinary fox then in the future. If she really does have a human form, don't try to get my help to convince her to come back because I won't help any of you." Mu Zhengsheng said slamming the door behind him.

Mu Shao Qing went off to the Celestial Realm once more and into the Evergreen Palace. Going into the garden part of it, she laid down looking up to the butterflies all flying around keeping her thoughts clear. That one time that her brother had accidentally led her away from the wrong part of the palace had brought her to a spot where she could be alone and was her secret hideout.

This was not her first time being at the garden, having to really enjoy her peaceful life with the butterflies. She had always enjoyed coming to this spot the most and meeting Lord Yi everyday. Not even her brother knew where it was and she liked it that way. The youngest butterfly flew landing on her head which was the first one that she had met and helped her to the garden. "Little fox?" Hearing the familiar voice, she turned to see Lord Yi was there once again. Walking up to him, he smiled having to pet her head once more. "I didn't think that you would enjoy my garden so much. Appearing here everyday, you sure have a lot of time for a spiritual fox like yourself."

'Why do you think that?' Mu Shao Qing couldn't even talk to others unless they were in their second form of a creature or if they had the magic to do so but she mainly spoke to herself. Lord Yi sat down at the table having Mu Shao Qing follow and sit on the ground beside the table. Feeling the breeze in the garden, the butterflies would try and block the wind if it was too harsh against them or Lord Yi. Lord Yi was their master who raised them all to grow that large. 'If only I was strong as Lord Yi then I would also have a beautiful garden like this.' Sighing in her head, Mu Shao Qing was trying to cool down in the heat with the breeze to help her.

Lord Yi looked to the little blue fox which arrived again at his garden. The first time he had seen it, he had thought it was perhaps an obsessed woman trying to get his attention or sleep with him using another form to hid in. His history with women and men which was wide spread since he had never gotten married but never had any interest in relationships such as that. It was one reason why he had moved to the Celestial Realm due to experience in the Demon Realm.

Although, he found that the little fox was just an ordinary spiritual fox in his garden. She was not like them but rather more different. She also did not fear him but he could also sense no fear from her. Petting her head once more, he had never thought of a fox as one of his companions but it would depend on the fox itself if she chose to.

Dusk had already arrived having Mu Shao Qing know that it was time for her to return back to her clan. "You going back already?" Lord Yi said having Mu Shao Qing bow to him. "You know your manners well little fox." He said having to smile at her.

'I thought that everyone said that Lord Yi does not have a smile.' Mu Shao Qing said looking to him now since she would listen in on the rumors about him. Running into the little hole she had found, she went through going home that way.

"Shao Qing?! Shao Qing?!" Mu Zhengsheng was calling her which she ran and jumped into his arms. He smiled seeing how she would always be happy to see him after the end of the day.
