Fei Jin bid goodbye to the pack when they arrived at the wolves Den, he stayed for a couple of hour slicing meat to divide for everyone and now it's time for him to go, Yue walked Jin out of the den with a sad Aura, his long face fell down and ears are bowed like a good puppy slowly walking with the prince
Jin knew this while sitting on his back, Jin can feel his little feeling towards him, his visit is only a short time and it's really sudden that he will leave
"Yue, don't worry? I'll come visit again!" he said while feeling Yue's soft fur, the big dog walked slower than usual and huffed in depression
Jin chuckled so he leaned on his ears and whispered
"don't worry, when I come back I'll bring my wife with me!" he smiled, Yue's feeling is way better after hearing Jin's words but stopped and showed a dull face sitting down on the ground, Jin slide down and complained
"what now?" he groaned, Yue huffed and smelled Jin
"I'm not lying, I promise!" Jin had his hands on his waist, Yue huffed again
"yes promise-" Jin leaned on the big dog's head and hugged him tight
"I love you buddy!" he said and climed up back to his fluffy back
"alright good- BOOOYYYY!!!!" Fei Jin shouted when Yue ran so fast in his mid sentence
"slow down you stupid dog!!!" Jin yelled while chuckling behind, but in the other hand he was enjoying the ride feeling like he is flying
Yunxi hummed looking at flower feild below the temple, thousands of flowers like a large meadow on an open land
"Gōngzhu, you don't look well?" asked Yuan
"that large flower meadow look so cold and beautiful!" she said and sat on the corner not leaving the image of her eye's destination,
"indeed your highness, but the prince is not home yet, Master Shao Qi said he went on a training far from here!" says Yuan, Yunxi fell face down and now has an upset look
"that stupid prince won't even say if he will leave or not!" Yunxi flew to the roof, Yuan knew she is really upset and if she is activated at this state it will be harder for her to feel her again, Yuan followed her and sat down below the sliding roof
"your right your highness, that's absolutely really disrespectful towards you!" Yuan put fuel in the fire
"Yuan do you think he likes me!" Yunxi asked
"well, do you like him Gōngzhu-"
"I do like him, I mean he and I met before we were married" she rested her hands on her face
"so he really is the one who gave you a fan?"
"yeah-"
"well, I don't know a lot about marriage your highness I'm still young and naive and born to serve you, but perhaps let's give it another time, maybe his highness was in a mission" Yuan exclaimed
"you're right!" Yunxi looked at the meadow
Shao Qi met Fei Jin at the gate of the temple, he could feel him coming up flying from step to step
Jin landed infront of him and bowed to meet Shao Qi
"I'm back?" Shao Qi smiled and gestured for him to follow
"Fei Jin, how much flame energy did you release?"
"almost all of them, the dragon in my sword ate all the energy and now my sword is stable and stronger"
"did the dragon look scary as before?"
"no, he's more beautiful than I expected, he's no longer the dark dragon who is feirce and suck all my energy!" Jin made his way inside the pavilion, he sat down to rest and removed the clothes wrapped in his sword
"Zhang's wings is still covering the wolf head, I'm afraid it will not show itself!"
indeed, the sword is really dangerous in times of opening it's wing guard, the sword had a design of ArcAngel wings provided as a guard and shield connected to Jin
the 4 golden wings closes to guard the wolf that absorbs dark power while the 2 last wings stand as guard before the hilt of the staff, the blade is glass sharp and long, Shao Qi knew the sword only belongs to Jin, the time he was studying the weapon, each time he draws it he gets tired by and by and it gets heavier if you do not let it go, even Fei Xu drained his energy while playing the sword, but for Fei Jin it's light and absorbs Jin's power in balance, Jin's soul is connected to the sword's spirit as if they had known each other for a long time
"Shao Qi, when I was absorbing the cold energy inside the deep water the dragon did not harm me but bowed still and twirled around my body, while absorbing my power I felt relieved and cold, Zhang is weird!" says Jin sliding the tip of his finger to the blade
"he might have recognized you already Jin, that's a good news!" says Shao Qi and gave him a letter
"this is a letter from the palace, there will be a four kingdom gathering inside the Zhu state, all kings and queens will meet to celebrate the peace making of the four kingdoms and you are invited!" Shao Qi handed him the scroll
"this will be held in 6 months- and in three months the emperor of Zhu will have his birthday!" Jin frowned and made a sharp face
"what's up with showing myself in his stupid birthday, I'm not going! tell them I'm really sick and in coma, The four state gathering is way important than that useless emperor-" after saying those words Jin slammed the scroll back at the table, he grabbed his sword and walked away
"as you wish my son!!!" Shao Qi's face was filled with joy
"You grew up well-" he chuckled
Fei Jin entered the golden Pavilion without anyone suspecting him, his quite little moves made him look like a thief and climbed up the roof to see the flower feild
"how lovely, it bloomed earlier than I expected!" he said and sat down to feel the heat of the afternoon sun and windy air that cools down his sweaty hair
"how about I bring you to the flower feild!" he mumbled thinking about Yunxi
"Gōngzhu, I won't be accompanying you today, Yi Ce and I are tasked to gather herbal grass at the mountain, my apologies" Yuan bowed with a sad face, Yunxi just smiled at her and gave a box of flower cakes
"it's okay, here take this with you, I made that myself with rose petals and take this bottle of flower water!" Yuan wanted to cry for being too busy and not staying with Yunxi, but Yunxi understands all her efforts are for her and herself
"Diánxià, you are so nice to me all this life, I promise when I'm really strong I'll take down all the people who hurts you!" Yuan shed a tear and hugged Yunxi
"alright alright, you are late, you can't keep Yi Ce waiting!" Yunxi bid farewell and returned back to the third floor balcony where she views the flower feild
her happy face turned Miserable as she throw herself on the soft couch, it was her favorite spot where the fluffy pillows are all over it, sometimes she even sleep there at night not caring about sleeping outside the balcony, it's because of the moon that pulls her eyes from its beauty
"how about I sing this boredom off!" she groaned
Fei Jin who is listening at the rooftop smiled and relax himself to listen to her voice for the first time
Yunxi started humming a sound and sat at the railing with her hair dangling with the wind
"🎶flowers flowers, bloom my dear,
like my lover who passed when I disappeared let your petals show it's color,
let your fragrance make me stronger
oh faith why take her away?
and let people destroy her little innocence
she is weak and timid shy
but faith why make her soul fly
hmmm~ 🎶"
Fei Jin listened as careful as he can, the song was sad and her melody is beautiful, Jin looked at the flower feild at the far distant open feild, the flowers have bloomed in spring and the air is fresher than it used to, Yunxi's song reminded him of the feild he hates going, it's all because of the bright colors of lilac or flowers he does not really like the smell, the only thing he loves to explore and sleep at is the open green grass that makes him relax next to the tree top
Yunxi continued to humm the song, and as she goes on he feel sadness in his heart, as a matter of fact he never experienced those kinds of feelings
"that damn novels got me sad!" he made an upset face and left leaving Yunxi below singing with all her heart
The darkness bit the bright red sky, infecting it to turn pitch blue night, the stars up high looks beautiful and gleaming with joy, same goes to Shao Qi who just cooked lots of food for his family, Yunxi came inside with joy and ran to the table and taste some of the meat with her finger
"Diánxià, remember the rules we cannot eat too much meat?" Yuan was worried pulling Yunxi away from the table
"what do you mean, it's just tonight, besides were not in Jhu anymore-" she giggled while putting a large skin of chicken in her mouth, the brown juicy taste is making her brain argue to weather not to eat any meat or tie down her tounge and defeat the Jhu state law to receive a delicious tasty meat and crispy pork Shao Qi made, in the end the stubborn princess sat down and released her food pride to eat what is served on the table
"Diánxià!" Yuan complain while looking at the food, she too was already tempted by the food, the big boiled king crab served was beautiful and large, feeling like its claws touched her stomach and heart
"ayya Yuan, don't worry, I'll heal us later to digest the food in our body!!" Yunxi tasted her finger like she is no princess
"Ha- Shao Qi is now a master chef, better than I am! he made vegetarian eat meat!!!" Master long threw himself on the closest chair and pulled the largest plate
"I know, you better eat all the food in the table because what you see is made by a beautiful man with a magical hands?" he smiled, while dancing around with a large plate in his hand, everyone clapped on his little speech making him flattered to serve more
"Second Father in law is really a good cook, please teach me!" Yunxi is already brave and can cling around Shao Qi, Yunxi has been thought how to live normal and pray with meditation and respect towards everyone she sees
"Hmm, you are right, I will be your master and I will teach you secrets in making food, Yuan and Yi Ce will be our assistant in gathering herbs and ingredients in the mountains what do you say!" Yi Ce nod while Yuan had a gloomy face
"but I wanna stay!"
"okay, stay and make fire all day, so you can breathe the smoke towards your lungs and your lungs will grow weak and if it is weak you can no longer breathe and your will die-" Shao Qi glared
"yes sir, I will do as told by you!!!" Yuan obeyed
everyone laughed at everyone saying jokes and enjoying their food, but it was about time in the middle of the joke when Fei Jin entered with serious face, Shao Qi stared at him and lifted his eyebrow
"oh, Here is the prince who I thought would come early!" Shao Qi had a gloomy face, Jin stared at everyone and witness a family gathering, what a shame? he thought and smiled
"sorry everyone, I was quite busy preparing gloves for the fire whisps!" he said and sat down next to Yunxi
"fire whisps, did the fire whisps came early this year?" asked Master long holding a cup of wine
"yes, That's what I wanted to tell everyone, by the end of this month we will all go catch fire whisps!" Shao Qi poured himself a wine and smiled
"it would be fun" Yi Ce said
"what is fire whisps?" asked Yuan
"it's a prayer catcher, each year millions of fire whisps comes out of the forest, there are different kinds of colors and we can only pick young one's!" Master Long explained
"how does those whisps catch prayers?" Yunxi's curiousity boomed and put her focus on Master long instead of putting food in Jin's plate
"well, we catch it with gloves, that gloves is no ordinary, it's a gloves that absorbs prayers, monks in the temple make those gloves and pray with it for the whole year til the whisps appear"
"what does the gloves do?" Yuan asked
"when you catch fire whisps with the glove, the prayer energy on that glove will tame the whisps and glue it til it is put on a whisp pouch, don't worry you will experience it all when we go out to catch them" Yunxi's eyes twinkled and exitement consumed her thoughts forgetting about Fei Jin next to her
"alright everyone eat up- we'll all talk about those some other time!" Shao Qi said to catch everyone's attention
Yunxi is upset and Jin can feel how awkward they are sitting next to each other, did he do something? he asked himself
"can I have meat?" Jin pushed his bowl on Yunxi
"it's infront of you?" she coldly said and put and a food on her mouth
"ah, yeah!" Jin was embarrassed, everyone looked at them with pathetic face and awkwardness
"just eat!" he said and ate miserable
Shao Qi knew Yunxi is upset, and he is joking with everyone while the two of them hate each other while eating
one upset with her own husband while the husband does not know what is going on but feel bad next to his wife
