Ever since yesterday, the scarlet fox of his had gone missing. Dijun had search ups and down in Taichen Gong for its presence. There was no note this time left behind nor did it said any words before had it left. He had known that she would have left already so he had given up looking for her. Sitting in his study room, he couldn't even read his book without the constant reminder that the fox had returned to its home.

"Dijun." Zhong Lin said to him as he was serving tea. "I feel the need to inform you about the fox. It went missing."

Looking at Zhong Lin as if he had already known Dijun nodded his head: I know. It probarly misses it home.

"I'll go look for it if you need it, sir." Zhong Lin had told him.

"No need," Dijun said as he replied in a shallow tone. "Leave me alone."

The small bowed from the steward as he walks out, he had never seen the Emperor so sad before. He had known the Emperor had a small liking for the fox that he even carried it around with him. But now it had left without notice. Zhong Lin had thought perhaps his words to the Princess of Qing Qiu were too harsh and planned on visiting her asking why she had left. Maybe her words would ease the feeling Dijun had felt.

Sitting in the room, it had become sentimental to him. As Dijun reaches for the drawer and grabbing out the small box of toffee the fox had created for him. It had seemed she had planned to leave truly. But it was strange he had thought.

Yesterday before the evening, he had sworn to his memory he had seen it playing around while the 3rd Prince had come to visit him to inquire about the trouble of Qing Cang. But he had remembered something. What a fool he was not to realize it soon.

When they had retired their room, the little fox was sleeping on his lap before it had awakened as if from a nightmare and had leaped from his lap as it runs even faster out of Taichen Gong.

Running to find her Aunt, it had seemed Feng Jiu had remembered strongly who that mortal was. Her powers were even stronger than before as she turns into her human form running to look for her Aunt.

It was that dream that she was having to remember parts of her memories of her being the servant in Taichen Gong trying to saved that mortal and talking to her. The resemblance to her Aunt and the small fragrance of a fox smelling was uncanny to Bai Qian of Qing Qiu.

"Gu gu!" As she yells for her Aunt.

She could even hear her Aunt afar from her telling that the immortal did not seem to like her presence so she would return to where she had come from. But had Feng Jiu known she was too late. Too late to save her.

In a few yards to Zhuxian terrace running closer to save her, it was when a pair of strong and powerful eyes that had watched her actions from afar. Had come leaping fast to her.

"Jui'er!" She could hear him say.

As she turns around she gasps and collapses in his arms as he grips around her body preventing her from going farther. No matter how much Feng Jiu had tried to escape the grip, she couldn't.
