Dijun had a very normal day like always. Honestly after the times of battles which were so annoying and full of sorrow it came his days of being the heaven lord but again those days weren't good either. those political issues and responsibilities he had to keep on with.

Mu Yan was the god of war and very soon found his own way of life, he left for Kunlun mountain and took the teaching life.

Zhe Yan too, he buried his weapon deep and left for a life with wine.

If one of two showed interest in the position he happily gave it away, but instead he stuck with that unwanted power.

Even after he discharged himself from the throne still his days kept being the same until one day a little fox jumped in the lake and washed him all over. it was after that when he finally saw how life can be for normal people, the 10 days of a year which he gifted with for thousands of years were the only times of his long life to be considered as living, so when Feng Ju had to return and they had to keep the distance, of course he himself fulfilled that need. It wasn't much different for him, he was living this life for so long but on the other hand she couldn't and shouldn't do the same. She was free and playful and must stay the same as long as possible. so when he left for his bedchamber and saw a letter which definitely wasn't there before and had the sense of little fox he smiled, today wasn't just another day after all.

"Dijun, I feel guilty for you stocking in your palace, except for the formal meeting which I invite directly, I'm not planning to come to heaven anymore. I do appreciate your concern and sacrifice to give me freedom but without you the heavens look so empty, I kept coming in hope that the feelings became less but it didn't, so I'm not coming there anymore. Please feel free to enjoy your days around the lakes and fishing every single remaining one."

That was all, she wrote to say she was not coming anymore. okay he couldn't see her but knowing she randomly visited increased the beauty of the place.

He still was thinking of answering or not when the second letter appeared: "Dijun I forget to say in last thousands of years without you by my side to gaze after heaven lord and made him sweat I didn't like to tease him anymore but being a very good ruler he taught since you are not in court I lost my courage and start commenting about it, well his try to ease his previous shame was more fun than that court of yours so I didn't react at all, now you are attending to court after a very long time you can use these information to scared him a little and entertainment yourself. I can't wait for Lian Song to come and describe your actions and others faces.

Dijun laughed at her letter and remembered her first visit to court, it was her first time she came to his palace 23 thousand years ago when he Want to know her better in hope that the thinking stopped and asked for Zhe Yan who came in a puzzlement face:

Zhe Yan was staring at the letter in his hand, it was the first time Dijun inviting him to his place after the times of war, it can't be a good thing, the old rock god couldn't be change suddenly and invite him for tea beside Feng Ju already told him about her meeting with him: "I helped Dijun in fishing and cooking. Did you know he is so bad at both? I really don't know how he survived until now, but no need to be worry any more, I will go there and cook for him so he not starves anymore."

Zhe Yan was so in awe to answer so just smiled at her and now get the invitation from Dijun, he sighed nervously and wished to can calm him down, Feng Ju was so lovely to be end by his sword. Maybe he should call for her family to protect her, but who can defeat Dong Hua if he wants to fight, maybe without fox family he can talk reasonable with him and seek his forgiveness.

Seating across the table Zhe Yan nervously chuckled: I hope Feng Ju didn't offended you? She told me she came to your palace.

Dijun: let me see, first she spied me for hours, then jumped in lake and wash me over by its water all face and robe, then told I'm an awful fisher and sheaf without any power and state who her father will not accept as his in law and way too old so nobody will say wrong words even if she come to my place often, then she said she respect me as "former" ruler but I offended her as "future" queen by not going to her birthday.

Hm, what else she said, oh yes, she also said it's petty I didn't borne more late because I'm too handsome but not being her suit she can't fall for me.

Zhe Yan who slipped his cup at the very first sentences and froze for the next ones was unable to say anything, he didn't remember how the talking ability worked.

Dijun: well I forgot to say she manage all in only one hour, so tell me what was you teaching her for past 25 thousand of years that she didn't even know how the ranks work?

Dijun was enjoyed Zhe Yan face, it was the very first time that old phoenix can't find his words, Feng Ju was interesting even in her absence.

Zhe Yan: she is a playful soul and so hard to teach, please forgive her disrespectful acts and I'll be sure to punish and teach her better since now.

Dijun: no need, just sent her to me, I'll teach her myself.

Zhe Yan: you never take a student, not even Bai Zhi himself.

Dijun: she is the future queen of Ching Chu and if she rules this way we all be in problem.

Zhe Yan: since when you care about other place and other's work?

Dijun: I care for peace of realms and she will put it in danger definitely.

Zhe Yan: as you wish, but I should warn, by taking her into your palace you are saying goodbye to your days of peace. She herself is quite enough for a hole realm to bring you headache every day, and add to that her admirer. You can't believe the number and the acts of them. Everywhere she goes she find some new one, you know these foxes how are but Feng Ju is something else, we didn't have tenth of this with her aunt and she is the known first beauty, she knew her charms and hide them well but Feng Ju don't have a clue about her attraction so she works like a magnet. You know when you decline something it just raised up ant it's the same with her. At first Bai Yi was trying to match her with some guy, but soon he stopped it, she do it all the time herself. Half of her uncle and mine time spend of getting rid of them.

"she gets my attention in an hour so it's not surprising" Dijun toughed, but he told him to send her to him and don't be worry of some guys: I think I can manage them but I can't take care of her full time, send her 10 days each year.

Zhi Yan: I wish you luck then. he continued in his mind "so she even charmed you, if you not reaching for her head"

Zhe Yan finds his way to Kunlun mountain after leaving Dijun's, finding Mu Yan in his study chamber sat down and answered his unasked question: I have some interesting news about Dong Hua.

Mu Yan: what interesting thing can happen to him? Did he change his tea?

Zhe Yan laughing: I'll keep that one in my mind, since I know someone who can use it wisely. But no, the matter isn't his tea. I come here to tell Dijun in interest in a girl, and more than that he knows it and try to fulfill it.

Mu Yan lost trace since first news, it was shocking, that rock is interest in some one, impossible: who is she and why you think this way?

Zhe Yan: oh you know her, it's your seventeen disciple little niece, Bai Feng Ju. Some days ago I was heading to heaven and she begged me to take her with, somehow she found her way to Dijun palace and noticed he is in trouble with his skills of fishing so she jumped in lake and fish out for him while make him all wet. Then she even called him a handsome without any power. Yesterday Dong Hua sent a letter to me and called me to his palace, as you can guess I was fear to death Feng Jiu already told me about her evening I was planning on beg for her life but instead he asked for her to be send to him.

After that Zhong Lin told me, he heard Dijun laughing for the very first time and Feng Ju commented on his laugh that he is too handsome when he laughs, tragic he is too old that she can't fall for him.

Well as you see he must be interested in her and I'm sure we are going to enjoy the next few years.

Mu Yan didn't answer for a while then smiled and told: we definitely will.

After there Zhe Yan met with Bai Yi: Bay Yi I think I met your future son in law today, your daughter marked him and he put his mind to capture her. Since he always gets what he wants I think he will get your daughter too. Well I should say your little princess choose really high.

Bai Yi: high god I can't understand, where was my daughter today and she marked whom?

Zhe Yan: well she challenged former owner of universe and called him not worthy for her as future queen of Ching Chu.

Bai Yi: what?

Zhe Yan: yes, what is exactly right word you can use.

Bai Yi: how even she met with Dijun?

Zhe Yan: I took her to heavens and she ran behind Dong Hua to observe her days when she retired and find it completely boring, then she fished and cooked for him to "not starving to death" she even comforts him that since he is way too old and have no position no one will wrong talk about them. She told him you will not approve him as your son in law that's a shame since he is so handsome.

When I went there as he asked I thought he will smash her to pieces right away but to my surprise he told I'm a bad teacher and he will teach her himself. He even told she is far too cute to be made at.

So I suggest you to prepare your heart, even if your daughter is too tough to handle and it's going to be Dong Hua's hardest goal even more than bringing peace to realm and with all tied at his hands for now but he will be here asking for her hand one way or the other.

Bai Yi was still handling the situation, he didn't react for a long time that Zhe Yan got tired and stand to leave, the news was too good that he enjoyed sharing them one by one. The look in their faces worth the way totally. So he left for Bai Zhi palace he only told that his granddaughter catches a husband for herself: I should say your granddaughter is something else. She catches your commander of old days. Be wait for him to come and ask for your permission. He totally falls for her and start his mission on catching her even when she called him not worthy enough.

Bai Zhi wasn't better than his son, and Zhe Yan seat in enjoying the show in front of him. The old fox king turned of white to red then purple then black: Feng Ju called Dijun not worthy enough?

Zhe Yan: yes she told he is handsome but it's not enough for Ching Chu too accept him as it's son in law.

Suddenly Bai Zhi smiled and whispered: good good, but I need to give him a visit myself, you told he asked for her to be his student?

Zhe Yan admitted again and before he can find out what's going on the fox king was gone. He jumped up and rushed to Taichen Palace, where the fox king must be.

Dijun was in his study chamber when arrive of Bai Zhi announced, he was expecting him, since Zhe Yan was the one who saw the recent event it was obvious that fox king and his son will come soon. He nods and invited him to seat, Bai Zhi sat across him and accepting his offering tea tried to find the right words to start.

Bai Zhi: Dijun I heard you choose my granddaughter as your student, it's an honor for my family.

Dijun: but?

Bai Zhi: can I ask why Dijun find sudden interest in our little one?

Dijun: your granddaughter is unique, I can see her capable spirit, if she trains well she end up a good queen but if not we all be paid.

Bai Zhi: Dijun do you honestly think that way?

Dijun: what other intention can I have?

Bai Zhi just looked him, can't offending the ultimate Dijun neither believe his words. Dijun smiled at his win, the little fox will come to him soon, his days is going to be different.

-------

Feng Ju was staring to her grandfather who just announced Dijun's orders, why should Dijun asked for her?

Feng Ju: but grandfather what I can learn from Dijun?

Bai Zhi looked her in amused look, now he can see Dijun's words, Feng Ju was so far in her own world. Well if Dijun want to teach her let him enjoy the ride, he will not short it for him so he just convinced her to go: little one remember you are representing Ching Chu's face, behave well and show high respect toward Dijun.

Feng Ju nod and told she will proud Ching Chu with her perfect acts which Bai Zhi doubt her words accounting what he heard from old phoenix but since Dijun asked for her it means old rock liked her tongue so let him handle it by his own, it was good for him, finally someone was found who can compete him.

Feng Jiu arrived at taichan palace soon in the morning, Zhong Lin announced her arrive and with Dijun's approve she stepped in, smiling at Dijun sat across him and pour a cup of tea for herself. Dijun watched her in amused eyes, the young princess every act was entertaining.

Feng Ju: Dijun I'm here as you ask, to be honest I wasn't sure about what you are going to teach me, really you were retied long before even I borne and your previous knowledge don't seem to be useful for current days but my grandfather made me promise to be respectful so I'm here and I'm ready to learn whatever you are going to teach me.

"really what was they teaching her since now? She even doesn't know the power of history" Dijun toughed.

Dijun: little fox didn't you heard the history will repeat itself? What about taking me as a live history and learning about old years? It can help you in your future duties as queen.

Feng Ju observed his response for a while then nod: I think you have a point Dijun, well then I accept you as my history teacher.

Saying this she bowed her head and respect him as her teacher. Which make Dijun happy out of his surprise.

Soon Dijun come to admire old phoenix method in teaching little princess, he used her free and playful spirit to teach her, his way took more time to be effective but when it's affect, that be much dipper. First thing take his attention was her way on communication with others, she behaves with all the same, no matter the gender, the old, neither the rank. Being one of the high ranks of her generation it guarantied for her to get several friend and allegiants from all over the realms. Her acts were all natural which bring the lower ranks admire, trust and loyalty. On the other hand, most of the higher ranks were from her own family who didn't care for her friendly behave, so until she come to heaven everything was just fine, but when she did come she opened a door which behind it people do care for formalities. "little fox if you didn't come here you could enjoy your way of life more" Dijun sighed at this thought.

The other thing Zhe Yan was succeeding on was using her love of food and traveling, she loved to travel so she learned how too survived by fixing wild things together, old phoenix used this ability and opportunity to teach her about medicine and herbs.

Dijun admired Zhe Yan for the very first time, she was tough to handle, really, but he uses her free spirit and guyed her well.

"Little fox I have my own ways, I'm not as smooth as your uncles or Zhe Yan, now that you admit to my upper hand you have to honor it." Dijun had to remind Feng Ju every day. She really and truly didn't like to abbey, not at all.

While Dijun was enjoying his time with Feng Ju's reactions and planed for himself to get as much as he could now that she was with him, Feng Ju had a hard time. "this old teacher of my grandfather isn't easy to handle. If it wasn't because of his handsome face I could beat him easily, but every time just by looking at his face I think it's a waste to beat that."

In one of their very argue suddenly she asked: Dijun why didn't you married and bring a lot of children most boys?

Dijun didn't get her intention like most of the times: why you are care about my love life suddenly?

Feng Ju: because you are too handsome to be just one, if you had a boy like yourself I definitely married him and didn't even care about position.

Dijun stared at her for more than a moment, not knowing what to say which was a new advantage.

Feng Ju smiled widely before turning and leaving the room, "I win, again" she thought, which Dijun heard and smiled at, "so little fox wants to play, then let us play" he thought and called her before she can leave the room: Feng Ju you will company me to the court tomorrow.

Feng Ju agreed with a half bow, as a silent agreement whenever Dijun used her full name it was a serious issue which she had to accept one way or the other and since she gave her words to granddaughter to be a good student she decide to accept this time without further problem.

Dijun smiled, the little fox didn't know she just get provoked smile of him, "you want someone to tease? I give you a full court" he thought still smiling.
