Chapter 3

Xiaojiu listen.." she interrupted her Grandfather "Who will I marry?" Tears began streaming down her face but she tried to hold them back but it was too hard for her to do that "You will be marrying... Dong Hua Dijun." And it had silent.
---------------------------------------------------


     "Dijun I will be marrying HIM? But Siming said we are not destined?! What? Why did he even accept?" Her mind was just going crazy at this point "Xiaojiu I know I am sorry it's just that we knew that if you married into the Heaven Clan you would be safe and if would benefit both Heaven and Qing Que...". They then told both Bai Qian and Fengjiu about what happened at the meeting and even the part when Dijun said "You didn't give me a chance to respond Hao de... I will marry Bai Fengjiu." And both the ladies mouths drop to the floor after hearing everything and Fengjie told them that she wanted to go on a walk by herself so she could clear her mind up.


     "I don't understand... Is the only marrying me so I don't have to marry Tianjun? I mean that's better than marrying him but... Ugh, this is so complicated!" She kept thinking and walking along a path and almost tripped over a rock but she lucky caught herself.


     After some time it was getting darker so she soon returned home but ignored everything and everyone and went to her room. She soon fell asleep.


Tai Chen Palace


     Dong Hua was in his world at the moment. He honestly was shocked with himself but he felt happy? Was that the correct word? He never felt this way and he liked it! He liked the idea of marrying her for some reason but he never had met her so why was he feeling this? The whole night he just kept smiling and smiling and even Zholing Li saw and almost dropped the tea because of how shocked he was!


Qing Que


     A few days later the Bai Family and Zhe Yan had a meeting to talk about the marriage but since they already agreed they didn't say much or discuss much. They asked Fengjiu about what she thought but she simply responded with "I don't care who I have to marry anymore." Which they didn't understand because she always rejected marriage purposes so they didn't say the question about it. Zhe Yan was quite shocked by the marriage because he knew Fengjiu's past with Dijun. Only he and Siming knew about it.


     Fengjiu was getting a headache and told them that she was gonna go on a walk and get fresh air but when he family ask if she wanted them to go with her she just says no she wanted to be alone. At this point, she was just lost. She remembers Siming told her that they were not destined or had anything to do with each other so how did this happen? Was fate changing? Or was it gonna make it harder for her? She still had feelings for him and couldn't let go of him so why isn't she happy? I guess the little fox had a feeling that he wouldn't love her so she had decided that she would ignore him as much as she could.


     As she was still in her little world she didn't realize where she was heading and oh gosh she wishes she paid more attention! She gasped and screamed as she fell into a hole but it wasn't any hole... it was a snake pit... she hated snakes more than anything in the world! She tried leaving but couldn't get out. She then felt a strong pair of arms around her waist and the smell of sandalwood filled her noise.


     Dong Hua happened to pass by and heard screams and cries but normally he would ignore it but he felt the need to go see what it was. He then arrived and saw a snake about to bite a young lady, so he grabbed her waist and pulled her out of the pit. She looked terrified and pale and if she saw a ghost instead of a snake "Are you okay?" He asked in his normal cold voice and he could hear her heart beating so fast "S-snake! I HATE SNAKES! I AM SCARED" she was grabbing onto his robe and hanging on for dear life and he guessed that the young girl didn't realize who he was. He let out a chuckle "You are not in the pit anymore why are you so afraid? And what is your name?"


      And this is the moment Fengjiu realizes she messed up badly and she turned her little head around slowly and made eye contact with the ice god. She jumped away from him immediately and looked at him with wide eyes and mouth wide open. "She looks so familiar? Where have I seen her from?" He looked at her and just kept staring at her as if he was gonna suck the life out of her soul "Di- Dijun I apologize for my behavior please forgive me!" She begs while looking away from him embarrassed as ever. He started walking closer and closer and he was a few inches away from her face and she could feel him but was too embarrassed to look up "Have we meet before?" And she turned to look up at him "Um well uh no I don't believe so." She was lying but she could have told him about being his little fox and bring shame to her clan.


     Although they were engaged she didn't want him to know that and think she is a dumb and foolish person. After a few minutes of looking at each other, he moved his face away and she felt relieved "What is your name?" Then she also realized she didn't even greet him "Bai Fengjiu greets Dijun. I apologize for my behavior please forgive me!" She bowed down to him and waited for him to let her know to raise. "Bai Fengjiu? My future empress? She e a beauty but I swear I have met her before... But where?" He thought to himself and decided to do the unthinkable.


     He placed his thumb on her chin and said "Bai Fengjiu? Ah! My future empress to be am I correct? I must say that they were right when they said you were a beautiful girl" He smirked and she blushing uncontrollably "Oh uh... Thank you?" she whispered. He then let go of her chin "It was nice meeting you... Xiaobai... I hope to see you again. Farewell." And he left before she could say anything to him.


     She was standing there dumbfounded and confused as ever "Did that happen? Was he joking? I don't think he was like this to Jiheng! Ayo what have you gotten yourself into Fengjiu!" She then heard the snake hiss and remembered that she was still by the pit and she let out a scream and ran.
