Fengjiu not yet start her training  so she spend her time learning the Mind Reading Spell, She start to applied to hear Donghua mind. Donghua is sit across the table so he is not paying attention on Fengjiu and keep working on his design armor. 


Fengjiu try to concentrate to listen but turn out it’s not easy as it seen. After trying a few hours she finally can hear his mind. Turn out she only can hear little bit, she never knew it will give her a headache badly and she lost her conscious. Make Donghua surprice and appear in front of her. 


“ Xiao Bai.. Xiao Bai .. What’s wrong? He checking her pulse and find nothing strange only her heartbeat a little faster. 


Fengjiu wakeup “ Oh am I knockout”


“ Yeah, what’s wrong?” 


“ Nothing I just try to apply the spell maybe it to complicate “


“ Ah someone is trying to be naughty, you can’t read my mind xiao bai, I put a barrier inside my mind. No one can penetrate without my supervision, maybe you can try it on others first” 


“ Aya , I just want to give it a try don’t put it in mind. Nevermind I’m gonna try it again next time” Fengjiu said while smiling


“ There is still another next time?”


“ Of course you know me , never give up. My persistence is extraordinary DOnghua”


“ I know it well I guess “ Donghua said.


Xiao bai, Liansong will come in a while, what you wanna do ? Do you wanna company me or you might visit your aunty perhaps?”


“ Oh you will allow me to be with you on your meeting?”


“ Nothing much we probably just play Go and discuss about strategy to fight Miao Luo, I’m just afraid your gonna be bored so maybe you want to do others”


“ My aunty is on leave with Uncle Yehua , I will just be at kitchen I’m gonna make you some fox candy. What do you said?”


“ That’s will be perfect. Oh right come and look at this,which one do you like?”


“ What is it Donghua?”

“ Of course but don’t worry this gonna be the lighter armor . I will made it out of best material that not heavy yet untouchable for sword, arrow, dagger and other weapon. It will based on what my armor when I use old days. “ 


Fengjiu look at her lovers with sparkling eyes “ You know me best Donghua Surprise me. I love them all” 


Zhonglin inform Donghua for Lian song arrival, and Donghua tell him to wait in his study. Fengjiu left towards kitchen while Donghua head to his study.


Before leaving Donghua give the design and make a note of his choosing no 1. and ask zonglin to start making the armor for fengjiu


Fengjiu POV


At the kitchen while making Fox Candy Fengjiu receive a missive from her father and her face turn pale and her blood boiling. Her father what somehow very ridiculous. Why bother her married life like he must care. 


All Fox shall married her choosing mate, he should know why keep pushing me towards someone I don’t even know. 


She read the letter again :


Xiao Jiu 


I heard from your grandfather you’re staying at Taichen Palace right now, There is an Immortal name Wen Chang want to offering a wedding proposal. Since you also reach age of married why don’t you meet him there, you can know each other first. Who knows you might like him


I already set a date for you at JiuChongThien since he would be there for personal reason. Meet him at the lotus pond 3 days from now at lunch. Don’t avoid it Xiao Jiu. This man is very qualified. At least you don’t want to make enemy with their clan.


Your Father


Aiya this going to be burdensome. How shall I reject this proposal. Shall I ask Donghua for help, He must be willing to draw his Canghe to face someone who try to make a mess. Wait Wenchang isn't it the name who attach me on the rock? This not be good one..


I must tell him later on, before that let finish this toffees first, Donghua really have  a sweet tooth and like all the sweet things she also remember when they are in Mortal Realm sometimes Donghua will act like a childish to her. Make her blush and heartbeat faster when remember those days. 



Donghua POV


“ Liansong Greet Donghua Dijun “ 


“ Rise “


“ I heard you go to Mortal World for two days, with a beautiful Goddess. Is it true?” Lian song with his rubbish.


“ Oh.. They think she is beautiful? She is indeed beautiful. Best in Realm from what I see”


“ Really ? Right now Bai Qian is number one on Realm. I wonder how beautiful she is to be rank over Bai Qian”


“ That’s what other thought why am I care. For me she is my number one”


“ It’s really make me curious Donghua. Who Is she you keep in hiding?”


Enough of that how the item that you made to trapping Miao Lou is it done yet?”


“ I want to talk about that too. He materialize the five tier temple and explain to Donghua that this can be functional tool of Trap. But it will last for how long he can't be ensure himself. "


Fengjiu enter the study room and bring fox candy with her. When she saw Liansong “ Bai Feng Jiu Greet Third Prince “ 


Liansong took a surprise expression and said “ Liang song greet Little Highness or shall it said Queen Of Qing Qiu?”


“ Ah you can call me xiao jiu prince Liansong”


“ I can’t believe the goddess their talking about is you. Well now everything is make sense “


“ What is it Prince Liansong? Is there anything I should know?


“ Nothing really. Its just some fairy talk about Donghua Dijun secret woman “


Fengjiu face blush in red. “ What are you talking about? We just have time to accompany each other. And Dijun also help me with training and other lesson. We are not on that relationship “


“ OH.. “ this time Donghua give his reaction that make them both look at him. Suddenly he stand up and grab Fengjiu waist and pull her in his embrace that make her in shock and almost lost her balance and drop her candy. But Donghua act real quick he catch the candy basket while still have her and land a kiss in her phoenix flower mark. The show of affection make Liansong eyes grow wider. 


“ Who said we’re not in that kind of relationship, so what kind of relationship does we have xiao bai?” 


“ Hmm guess I’ve seen enough for today I don’t think I should stay longer . I will take my leave first Dijun, Little Highness”


“ Go” Donghua wave his hand and Liansong left.


“ What is that all about DOnghua, Why would you do that when Liansong is around. There gonna be a noise after this”


“ Why would we care, no one dare to talk in front of me “


“ Of course, that’s why they talk behind you. I forgot how shameless you are Donghua. You don’t even care for such attention.


He just rise up his shoulder which said like I care.


" I just cant help to keep you in secret xiao bai."
