Fei Jin pulled a box in his safe containing a necklace, it was a necklace he got from a village, given by an old man who is in need of money for his sick wife, he bought it as a souvenir, it's a simple Jade necklace shaped like human heart wrapped around a silver iron twigs that twirled around it as design
"gift" he mumbled before putting it in his pocket
Jin arrived down the temple step, he saw Yunxi's upset face and dagger eyes
"sorry, I was looking for something?" he said
"so long- let's go!" Yunxi walked behind Fei Jin and stopped
"what are you doing?" he asked, Yunxi had a smile that turned blank
"*sigh* lead the way!"
"oh!"
Fei Jin led her to the hillside where horses was freely staying, as soon as Yunxi saw the horses, her eyes twinkled, the colors of the horses consist with different numbers, white, ash, skewbald, brown, but what caught her attention the most is the giant stallions towering every other horses, their colours are way darker, from reddish brown to night black, their hair is really long and beautiful
"wow, there are so many horses here!" she wowed running towards their direction but kept a distance
"careful, they might kick you!" Jin laughed
"it will be your fault-" Yunxi glared, Jin's smiley face faded, he just walked away and opened a big heavy chest lying on a small cavern where horses rest
"what is that?"
"saddles?" he pulled out a heavy leather saddle and rope
"were gonna ride them?" Jin nodded
He looked around looking for something before putting his fingers on his mouth to make a sound of calling.
A tall dark shadow horse run towards their direction, it's heavy footsteps was making Yunxi shake from the dust that puffs off the ground, she run behind Jin to hug him behind
"so big?" she whimpered
the big horse stopped infront if Fei Jin and huffed a greeting
"he's so dark!" she mumbled, Jin pulled her infront but she kept resisting
"what's wrong with your just touch it's nose?"
"no, it's scary it might kick me to death-" Yunxi ran back behind him
Jin just giggled in her action before gently pulling her infront
"I see you have fear with horses!" Yunxi whimpered but let Fei Jin guide her
"of course I am, when I was kid, a horse kicked one of my servant because I was playing behind it, I should be the one to take the blow but instead he shielded his body to protect me, he was just a normal fairy who can't even fly!" Yunxi explained, Jin Felt sorry but did not let her back away but held her hands to touch the giant horse, it moved making her tremble but Fei Jin hugged her behind upon feeling her shake in fear
"hush, it's ok? it's his first time knowing you" Jin whispered behind her ears, his little comfort was sweet making her feel better
"just relax your hands and let me guide you!" Jin whispered and helped her hands to gently carries the horse, the head is soft and silky smooth, upon staring into its dark eyes he almost look like death
Yunxi continued to rub his upper nose til she reached the head when the horse bowed, she finally gave a smile, Yunxi felt relieved but still holds Jin's hand not to let go from his grip behind
"keep rubbing him, I'll put on the saddle-"
"wait?" Jin walked away
"I'll be here, I'll show you how he run like the wind" says Jin in a louder tone mixed with exitement
when it was ready, Fei Jin gave his hand to Yunxi
"come let's ride it?" he smiled, Yunxi stared at him and shake her head no
"I'll just fly ahead of you!" Fei Jin pulled her hands before carrying her gently on the horse back and sat her down, Yunxi winced and did not move but just stared at Jin
"p-put me down!" she cried
Fei Jin smiled and pulled himself to sit behind his terrified wife
"trust me!" Fei Jin whispered behind her ears
"I don't want to die!" Yunxi pulled Jin's upper clothes and wrapped it around her, looking like a small kid inside Jin's clothes the man laughed and prepared to take off
"focus on the result, of something dangerous, to know how beautiful your fear is- Hyah" Jin kicked in and run along with the horse that gave a speed
Yunxi screamed while hiding inside Jin's clothes, but as soon as she felt the wind and felt like flying, she looked around and found herself getting exited over the wind
"i-it feels l-like flying?" she said, she is still shaking over her body but is calming
it was the same feeling she gets when flying, the gliding and closeness towards the love of the creator of nature makes her love how horses run like a wind, the sound of their shoes are music to her ears, the green view is ecstatic, and as she smell the aroma of nature, it smelt like fresh wet grass is dancing in the air to touch her heart
"it's beautiful!" Yunxi came out of his clothes and smiled while looking at the open feild in front of her
"you said horses are dangerous, but if you repent their danger and look at what they can do, you will love them endlessly!" Jin continued
they both arrived at the flower feild, Yunxi was flattered upon laying her eyes on the flowers that bloomed, it was a large meadow full of different kinds of flowers, there are roses, lilac, sunflower and many more
"h-how could they all bloom at the same time?" asked Yunxi walking towards the tulips
"I don't know, this place makes everything bloom in spring at the same time makes the air so fragrant!" Jin said
"I know, I never thought I'd be here to look at them closely"
"ah that's right there are other who did not bloom right?" Yunxi picked a small bottle in her sling bag
"what's inside that bottle?" asked Fei Jin
"it's an antidote to make the other flowers bloom?"
"that small?"
"of course not, I'm gonna drink it and heal the flowers by producing healing wave, watch me!" Yunxi threw him her bag and drank what's inside the bottle
Yunxi relaxed her body, her eyes are closed and both hands resting beside her
Fei Jin did not know what is going in but just watched Yunxi as she does her thing
Yunxi produced a little energy that is coming out of her body, Fei Jin felt it unseen but as it gets stronger Yunxi start to float in her feet, and as she get higher her healing wave become wider and bigger energy that makes any plant grow and bloom
now Fei Jin understands how Yunxi is called a healing fairy, she produce a big amount of wave that heals an entire area, the energy is warm and sweet even Fei Jin can feel himself relaxed as he watch Yunxi
after 10 min passed Yunxi's healing wave went slower and smaller as she get back down to the grass, When she opened her eyes Jin was speechless and worried at the same time
"what was that for?" he asked
"it's a healing wave, My body produce a massive wave and with the help of the antidote it mixed with the energy and help the flowers bloom!" Yunxi giggled
the area is way more beautiful than it used to, the meadow is full of joy and fragrant smell in the air touched Yunxi's nose, she looked led around and giggled
"Jin let's eat-" she looked around and saw a tree in the middle, her hunger went high after her wave of healing, it mostly drain her if it's humans or people she heals
"there?" Jin followed her commands and little steps holding the lunchbox that Jin barely saved while riding the horse
Yunxi fixed the small blanket she carried and layed the box to take out the food
"here, let's eat?" she said pushing a box of flower cakes towards Jin who sat down next to the tree
"I'm not really into these kinds of dessert!" Jin stared at her
"why not, Mammy Gao made it, I actually wanna try to bake one myself!" she smiled and bit one
"well, I wanna taste it when you make some?" Yunxi looked at Jin who is smiling, she felt a little butterflies but ignored them, how he makes her flattering is really out of line
"I can't cook now, Shao Qi said he is still busy with the prayer glove that we will use for catching whisps, he is also giving Yuan a hard time with Yi Ce!" Yunxi complained, Jin chuckled, he laid down and relaxed his body before speaking
"my wife, my father may be really strict but you can learn a lot from him" hearing the word made Yunxi blush, did he just call her 'wife'
"I sure do, but his glare is scarier than a tiger, not everyone sees him in the eye!" Yunxi Shivered, Fei Jin burst out laughing on her reaction, he has no idea how Shao Qi can turn out really scary towards others
"don't worry, he is not only busy over the whisp catching day, he is also busy with the excuse for not going to the emperor's birthday" Yunxi's face fell and had her mind on the emperor's royal day
"you mean we are not going!" Yunxi's face turned joyous
"yeah!"
"why not?"
"it's not important!" Yunxi smiled
"you're right, I don't wanna return to that dull place anyway"
after they had lunch Fei Jin laid down and closed his eyes
"hey, you shouldn't be sleeping after lunch!" Yunxi shook him
"I'm tired and stuffed, you go play around!" he groaned before putting a a white thin cloth in his face
"Hish, you're so boring!" Yunxi fixed the lunch box before getting up
"then, I'll go look around? you stay here?" she smiled and ran away
Fei Jin heard the sound of her little footsteps leaving him, Fei Jin just closed his eyes back and slept
Fei Xu received the message from Shao Qi, Fei Jin refused to come to the royal birthday and reasoned that Fei Jin is bedridden due to a weak body, he sigh and rested his back to the chair
"Diánxià, the prince didn't wanna come and said he will come at the four kingdom gathering instead!" Feng bowed his head while receiving the scroll that Fei Jin gave
"it's alright, my son is mad and think of that royal banquet as a waste of time, I'll also leave the palace three days from now, send the scroll to the palace, I'm sure everyone will be dissapointed or perhaps happy!"
Feng delivered the scroll to the palace, upon the reach of Lin, he didn't know if he will get mad or feel better
"your highness that's a good news, I mean you cant just invite a monster to your special day, right?" says a minister
"yes Diánxià, it will make everyone's appetite go bad if that deseased prince comes to ruin such a special occasion" everyone was happy upon hearing that the prince turned down the invitation, the terrified princess's is also astonished on the good news, except for Fei Lin
he is the only person dissapointed, he wanted to see Fei Jin so bad that he glared at everyone inside the throne room, he wanted to know the truth about this prince, it was a big mistake taking Fei Jin away, sending him in the temple was a terrible idea, he has been anxious after hearing the twins talk about how dangerous the catastrophe can be, he is also scared that Fei Jin will conquer the throne, but he pulled himself back, he knew that Fei Jin is weak and deseased
Fei Jin woke up after smelling a fragrant scent clinging around his nose, the sweet smell of lilac was annoying, and upon opening his eyes he saw Yunxi grinning
"what are you grinning about?" upon sitting upright, few petals run down his clothes, Yunxi burst out laughing calling Fei Jin cute
"you are so beautiful!" she blushed while giggling, Fei Jin reached out the flower crown trying to remove it but Yunxi gave a gloomy face
"try to lay a hand on that flower crown I'll make you pay- let it stay!" Yunxi continued laughing, Fei Jin just stared at her happy face, examining her joy, she was wearing a flower crown herself, made with lilac flower and rose as a main design, same to what he is wearing in his forehead
"that red flower suits you well" Fei Jin pulled Yunxi's hand, Yunxi slammed on Fei Jin's hard chest before she froze, she can't help but feel a head in her cheeks but what she felt was Fei Jin's body instead
the energy inside his body is flaming like he has a fever
"hey, Fei Jin, what do you actually feel when you are on energy flame!" Yunxi asked, her imaginations ran wild thinking about bad stuff, worst, her cheeks keeps burning whike she rest in Fei Jin's broad chest, she shook her head and imagined herself scolding her from her dirty thoughts
"I feel-" Jin paused
"pain!" one word made Yunxi's head raise up to see his face, he wasn't lying, he was serious as if he really did feel those for so many years
"whenever my energy rise, I know it becomes stronger and flame energy will consume my body"
"why do you feel pain?"
"because my power is so strong that it burns me like fire, everytime that happens I release some by going deep underwater and let the cold cool me down!" Fei Jin explained, Yunxi finally understood why Fei Jin likes to wear thin clothes and does not properly tie his upper clothes, but because the heat inside his body is putting him in pain
"so, where did you really go a few days ago?"
"I went to the wolves Den, they have falls there and deep river, that's where I release some of my energy" he said
The princess was astonished and fell facedown feeling embarrassed her actions when he returned
"you should've told me earlier so I could understand, I even assumed you went to some mistress" Yunxi mumbled, Fei Jin just smiled at her before answering
"you never ask?"
Yunxi is on a big thought thinking about Fei Jin's pain and finally come up with the idea of making an antidote
"Don't worry Fei Jin, I create antidote, I know so herb to make a pill in how to cool down your energy inside your body?"
"hmm, really?"
"but I'll be needing a flower herb, except that they only grow at winter?" Yunxi gave a dissapointed face
"it's still a month away til winter season visits the land"
"what do you need?"
"it's a frost flower, it grows on winter?" she pulled back and muffled
"frost flower, what a coincidence, whisps can make those, the young blue frost whisps!" Jin smiled, it was a hint of relief that Yunxi can finally make what she desire
"really?"
"hmm- I'll get you a winter frost whisps when we go whisp hunting by the end of the month!" Yunxi was exited
"then, you and I better stick so you could teach me how to catch whisps, I heard they are really difficult to catch?"
"whisps inside the forest are no ordinary, they move like waves and a faster version of a humming bird" Fei Jin explained to her
a sound of heavy horse shoe shook the moment of the two, The dark horse rerun as a sign of going home, Yunxi is sad going home after exploring the flower feild
"I don't wanna leave"
"we have to, Shao Qi will make announcements tonight"
"ok, but wait, let me go pick up some flowers for Yuan, I wanna make flower soup!" Yunxi ran to the flower feild and start picking
Fei Jin was speechless upon hearing the word, flower soup, but she understands that she is a fairy, faries eat flowers
Fei Jin started to pack all the things needed and waited til Yunxi to gathered as many flowers as she wanted
Fei Jin never really liked flowers, but upon looking at Yunxi and her flower crown it seem satisfying to see how it made her even more beautiful.
