---------------------------------------------------------------------


He felt exhausted, he fought numerous of battles, he showered in his own blood several times, he ruled over all lands for thousands of years he even lived in loneliness for decades but none of those could make him tired this much. it was the night of 6th day, his only remain time was less than 24 hours and he still couldn't find his little fox.


For past six days' heaven was on fear, the news about her highness separation paths with Dijun were exposed everywhere, but the more surprising matter was the reaction of Dijun, his majesty appeared at the entrance gates of heaven in his usual purple robe but it seems like it was at fire, the red aurora around his majesty's body left others in shock and fear, third prince rushed to his old friend when heard the news and even he lost words to ask or say anything.


Lian Song watch Dijun as he closed his eyes and sent layers after layers of his power all over the heaven, he was searching for Feng Jiu and Lian Song pray that she be find soon, only Feng Jiu could calm this angry god, he watched as his spell keep coming back and understood Feng Jiu isn't in heaven. Dijun opened his eyes and said: she isn't here either, she wasn't at Ching Chu and isn't here, where else I should search for her.


Lian Song never heard Dijun asking for advice, suddenly he felt anger toward Feng Jiu, of course she was his friend but she hurt Dong Hua badly this time, he knows the couple had a lot of difficulty and they just began to have some progress in their relationship so what could make Feng Jiu to act this way and left Dong Hua behind.


"she has a lot of friend, she has friends all over the realms, you are scaring people with that aura of yours, get some rest and let me and Cheng Yu to make a list of her friends, no need to react this harshly"


Lian Song told and hoped that his words bring some peace for Dijun but instead he felt stuck and scare by his answer:


"I only have 7 days; she is going to sacrifice herself in hope to take my vows of my shoulder"


"we will find her '' was all Lian Song managed to answer, he was one of the few who knew about Dijun vows, that silly girl, that precious little fox princess was deep in love to do such a thing, and the two of them knew that.


After that quick communication at the heaven gates the two of them along with Cheng Yu, Siming and Migu make a list of her probably locations and keep update it, Dijun travel to all the places himself, searching for his empress yet there they were, at the noon of the last day and without even a single improvement.


The fox clan were searching for her too, where was she that no one can guess, and how was he supposed to tell her that he accepted her words and step down of his own belief if he can't find her? did she thought he can find her if he accept her words? Is he supposed to know her location if he really was ready to let go of his fears?


Only if he went after her that morning, he makes this mistake again and hesitate to follow her, he did that before, last time he thought she need some time alone and miss a year, but this time he was about to lose her, why he didn't learn of his own mistakes.


"little fox you really think you will take your life with your own hands and I keep living with someone else and make a happy family, do you find me this impassive?"


He asked lowly, how he missed her only he knows. the last day was there and they had no trace of Feng Jiu, it was then when Zhe Yan arrived and suggest him to wait at the rock: all of this is because of that rock, if I know her even a little I know she will come there for her last huge show"


Dijun wanted to say don't use the word "last" about my little fox, but the truth was staring right at his eyes so ugly and bare that he couldn't deny it.


He had no other options so he accepted Zhe Yan's words and wished that he be right. Not doing anything always was so simple but somehow now it seemed impossible, time too, it always felt unimportant but this time... this time he wanted for hours to go on so he can see his little fox but at the same time he wanted them to stop so never that last second arrive.


"she lost her mind and make me crazy in the while too"


Dijun told that to Zhe Yan who only smiled, he was too calm but Dijun had a lot in hand to care for Zhe Yan reactions: "why on the heaven she believed that if she sacrificed herself I will get a new chance, is she think just because she ask for it and do her part the universe will obey and do as she wish?"


Zhe Yan's smile grew wider.


"she can't be that silly to sacrifice herself over nothing, yet she is."


Dijun ended his words and heard Zhe Yan's words "it seems she made her point" before seeing Feng Jiu walking up the stairs and toward him, she was here and she was safe, he will take care of other things.


How much he missed her, he only got it when he saw her walking toward him. "Feng Jiu" he called her full name, well he was angry and worried but didn't expect her to bow and greet him formally, she never did that before, not when used to think he is a powerless god not after that when she found out her mistake not even after their marriage.


"Where were you been" Dijun asked, ignoring her bowing.


Feng Jiu: thinking


Dijun: but where, I searched for you almost everywhere, I went to your friends and all your favorite places but you were nowhere.


She didn't answer instead studied his face for several moments before talking: Dijun you know if I did mate you it would be you who do anything for me, even letting go of that thoughts of yours. but I told you before, I choose you freely, I love you despite my fox magic so I'm the one who do anything for you, even accepting what I know is wrong.


"What do you want from me little fox" he seemed tired yet asked lightly.


"Nothing. I know you will not change your mind and see the most obvious truth, I want nothing from you but I want for you to live a life full of happiness and if you think the burden is real so I take it for you"


Now Feng Jiu was staring at the rock instead of Dong Hua: "now it's only me and you, let make some exchanges" she whispered to the rock but get pullback and bump to a hard and familiar firm body, she sensed Dijun arms coming up and prisoning her from behind: "never threaten me with yourself ever again."


She heard the angry whisper under her ears. she tried to turn back but end up in more tightened arms: I don't mean to threaten you Dijun, I only don't know any other way and I want to support you.


She arranged the biggest story in history and yet dare to act innocently: "little fox you are challenging my patient, try to not act this sweetly"


His voice was still tired and worry but a light hint of desire could sensed too, she shivered in her position unintentionally and heard his deep voice again: give me some time little fox, I'll find a solution"


She accepted his words with a node of head after several minutes of failed laboriously to escape his arms.


The next moment they vanished and a group of confused and eager faces were left behind to stare at the empty place and breath in annoyance.


"so she really did make her point after all." Zhe Yan told and walked away while laughing.




------


"You knew where she was"


It wasn't a question, it was a statement yet Zhe Yan confirm it with his head.


Ignoring his move Dijun continued: "you were with her in this torture"


Another statement and another confirmation.


It was the next day of their epic reunion and Dijun left his palace soon in the morning can't ignoring the signs of Zhe Yan's hand in his biggest and hardest challenge during of his existence. Zhe Yan was expecting him to come, and great him calmly despite his vivid anger.


Zhe Yan: she asked me to help her, did you prefer that she arrange everything herself? I thought you know her, you were searching for her, if I didn't help her she ended up doing silly things just to avoid you. Did you rather that?


Dijun sighed, the old phoenix was right.


Zhe Yan use the opportunity: you know this is your last chance, right?


He just gave him a look.


Zhe Yan: I am serious and you know that. don't trick her, if you ignore your words she will keep hers. The first time you call her to your palace I told you by taking her in, you are saying goodbye to your days of peace yet you choose her, now either accept her words the way they are or find some other way, anyhow don't trick her.


Dijun: you talk too much, it gives me a headeck. He told and vanished before Zhe Yan manage to answer.


"I wish you listen for once" Zhe Yan shot behind him.
