Chapter Seven

Jui're


Dijiun was acting strange and I still couldn't understand what was wrong with him. "Dijiun, may I go see Mei?" I asked softly and he shook his head. "I don't want you to go." I frowned. "Dijiun." The Third Prince came in hurriedly. "Dijiun the spherical leaf flower has opened!" Dijiun open his eyes. "Stay here!" He said before vanishing. "Third Prince where is Dong Hua Dijiun going?" He raised his eyebrows. "The Spherical leaf flower where he keeps evil souls has opened, and he needs to seal it." He said calmly. "Where is this flower?" He stared at me with no trusting eyes. "In the demon lands." When he said that I immediately took off, hearing him calling me.


When I arrived in the demon lands Dong Hua was trying to seal the spherical leaf but many dark spirits were escaping  and attacking, he seemed so focused but he needed help. I looked around and tried to create a fireball but it wasn't big enough, then I thought about using my tales. I went back to the entrance of the demons lands and summoned my Red Qi fox sword, I cut off three of my tales I created a glass bowel and squeezed the blood of my tails until it was almost full then I turned my tails to  solidified crystal smoke, I dipped the crystallized smoke into my blood and I went back to Dong Hua.  While he was still fighting with the evil spirit I went closer to the spherical leaf, I lifted the crystal smoke and liquidified it as it cover the entire demon lands, I took my tale blood and threw it up and it mingled with the smoke. "XiaoBai!" I heard Dong Hua's voice. "Close it now!" I yelled at him as all the spirits where now trapped inside, he closed the leaf and I fell down, he ran towards my side. "You're okay." He caressed. "What are you doing here?" He asked softly. "You needed help." I said as I coughed up blood. "Shift to your fox form." I shook my head. "I'm fine." He shook his head. "You're not okay." I coughed. "I want to go back home." I whispered. "XiaoBai what did you do?" I smiled at him. "Doesn't Dong Hua Dijiun know that, the blood of the fox can cleanse and attract evil spirits." When he looked back at the spherical leaf it was glowing a white and purple colour. "You purified all the spirits in there." He picked me up bridal style and then he buried the sphere with an invisible spell. "Sleep XiaoBai." At his soothing words I closed my eyes and fell into a deep slumber.


Dong Hua


My heart was beating through my ears as I watched the woman that laid in my arms, her skin was pale and her pulse was weak.
When I arrived back in heaven I met with Yang Yang, he looked at my arms and there was horror on his face. "She cut her tails didn't she!?" My heart skipped a beat, he grabbed her from my arms and inserted a blue light in her mouth. "Stupid girl! Do you have to put yourself in danger like this!" I looked at Yang Yang then at XiaoBai. "Take her back to Qingqiu, I will send the Medicine King there." I walked away from them.


As I was sitting thing about XiaoBai the demon King Jiahao barged into my palace. "Dong Hua Dijiun what did you do to the demon lands!" He fumed. "Nothing." He got even angrier. "Then how did the demon lands energy suddenly become purified!" He yelled again. "I don't know." I answered coolly. "You were at the demons lands trying to seal the spherical leaf! So you know!" My eyes narrowed. "How did you know that? As far I know you're not supposed to touch the spherical leaf because that breaks the truce between the Heaven clan and the Demon clan." He went quite. "Although the spherical leaf is in the demon lands it is far from the demon palace, so how do you know it was open!" He coughed. "That doesn't matter, the point is the whole air in the demon lands is purified!!! Last time I checked you wanted nothing to do with dark magic!" My heart beat slowed down as I realized what he was trying to say. "I don't know who purified the demon lands." He huffed and left in a hurry, I immediately went to Yang Yang's palace. "Yang Yang, how is XiaoBai?" I asked and he glared at me. "Stay away from her." He said in a low voice before disappearing.


Yang Yang


I was furious at Dong Hua and at xiaojiu  but mostly at xiaojiu, I don't know whether she was being brave or just plain stupid. I wanted to take her back to Qingqiu but I knew that her father would beat her up and cause problems with Dong Hua, besides she was in a lot of pain and running a high fever.


I managed to numb the pain of her tails and hopefully they will grow back soon, her phoenix feather flower has completely disappeared and she keeps slipping in and out of consciousness, I took her to my realm in the ice palace. "Xiaojiu are you stupid?" I asked her sleeping form. "Why would you do something that stupid!" I sighed as I checked her temperature, her body was burning up.  I removed  her robe and placed cold cloths all over her body and on her head but she was burning into them quickly, so I decided to take her into the ice pond and put her inside, the water was crystal blue but as soon as I put her inside the water turned into a black colour. She fizzle in the water like she was burning and then she opened her eyes, they were a dark colour and suddenly her phoenix appeared before disappearing again. "Xioajiu." She blinked at me. "Why am I naked Yang Yang?" She asked as she got out of the water, her hair was a jet black colour and no longer brown, she stood in front of me and put out her hand. "Give me your robe." I took out my outer robe and gave to her. "Why was I naked?" She asked again. "You were burning hot, wet towels were not helping." She nodded her head. "Take me back to heaven." She said simply I led her back inside and she changed into her robe. "You seem different." She looked at me and she smiled. "I cut my tails Yang Yang of course I'm different." She answered softly and then her phoenix flower disappeared again and she frowned.
After looking at her for awhile just to make sure she was okay, we went back to heaven. "Thank you Yang Yang." She said sweetly and she smiled brightly at me. "You're welcome Xiaojiu." She hugged me and then disappeared into Dong Hua Dijiun's palace.
