One Tail at a Time

The Art of Walking Away

My life feels complete.  I am back on my feet, our child is being prepared to receive his name in just a few days, and the great love affair I have with my husband is fully cemented in everything we do.  I really don't think there is anything more that I could possibly want or need, because my life on Kunlun Mountain has reached a comfortable stage.  My brothers come and go, but they are always going to be a part of my life and the little ones have become my responsibility when Mo Yuan is busy elsewhere.  

While Fu Yu is now moving between between Kunlun, Qing Qiu, The Peach Grove and the West Seas Palace.  It is hard to believe that he was that little sprite that Mo Yuan wrote about, because in Sprite terms, he is now an elder, though Mo Yuan said that because of the vast amount of cultivation he has earned so far, he will more than likely be able to take human form when he is reborn which for a Hell Sprite, is an accomplishment that none other of his tribe could ever hope to achieve.  

And not only is he a fully graduated Kunlun Mountain Disciple with the fame and acclaim that comes with that title, but he is Die Fengs right hand man and therefore his main General which is also an enormous accomplishment because his soldiers actually listen to him.  He is still a sprite though, so is prone to mischief tendencies, but they are much more subdued.  So I cant help but be so very proud of the enormous achievements he has made in his long life.  What a wonderful sprite he is and rather than the show off he was when little, he is now most humble and gracious.  It's hard to believe I know, but its the truth.

I on the other hand am resting after another full night of love making which has left me exhausted, so it isn't hard for me to laze about in the hammocks with my child and think about how far we have come.  Liang too has been named the Crown Prince of the South Seas, and Cheng Bao has gained another child, whereas Zi Lan has just stunned us all with a sudden marriage proposal the Ghost Tribes Princess which she accepted and Die Feng is going to marry Miaoxing, an East Seas Princess.

I really don't think I could be any happier right now, especially when my child smiles sleepily up at me having had his fill of milk and is now looking to lose himself to a nice sleep in the warm sun while I snuggle him in close before summoning one of Mo Yuans manuscripts which I have not touched for some time, seeing as our love making is now back in full swing.  And I mean that literally, Mo Yuan is a beast.

And so my mind dwells a little longer on him with a smile on my face and his book still unopened in my hand.  In fact, just thinking about how beautifully he makes love to me, has me wondering what my mother is up to this evening before giggling softly seeing as I am just as insatiable as he is.  But I know Mo Yuan treasures his night time cuddles with our son as he did with me back then, so I let the thought go to open the book before skipping through several chapters.  I already know who won the race, so I go to his reaction to it.

The Great Race, is a waste of energy and time.  I cannot believe that mouldy ball of fur won, the cheating bastard!  Of all the people I thought I would lose to, he was the last one, because the man is an even bigger cheater than his daughter, he literally stole it out from under both me and the Demon.  It's little wonder his daughter has the same tendency to cheat when she's obviously had a good teacher, that man would steal a fly from a blind spider, he is that diabolical!  

In a fit of laughter, I barely manage to remain in the hammock.  My belly is rumbling and the tears are streaming down my face, I am laughing so hard.  That husband of mine sure has a way of describing things, especially when the cheater was himself!  He and that Demon stole our own fox spell and used it most shamelessly, and not only were they so caught up in the moment, neither man gave my father a thought, so of course he would take it off them.  He won fair and square and I would continue to laugh, only my son is now whimpering, so I quickly draw it back in to cuddle him closer before returning to the book.
