Hu Li spend her days walking around. Her friends help with the house work. Huan Xi the little mouse is too small to do anything however she is good at hand sewing. While the dog and goat accompany Hu Li on her walks.
Many months pass, her tummy remain in the same size. Occasionally she hear munching sounds. Sometimes, she hear burping sounds. Sometimes when they make jokes, the sound of laughter fills Hu Li's ears.
Another year passes by, her magic power have depleted due to the pregnancy. Her fox appearances is shown. Her snow white hair blends in with the snow outside the cave. The eyes that dazzle with electricity is no longer brilliant. However they remain golden and dull. Her markings on her face have faded. She used to not be hungry nor thirsty but now she is demanding food every few hours. The heat in her body is causing her not wanting to dress properly. She only wears a thin garments. She enjoy laying down on the couch and read her books. She usually leave her legs expose as it is hot for her. Huan Xi always brings wash grapes for Hu Li to eat while waiting for the food to be cook. Sometimes Huan Xi speak to the child in the tummy. Asking the child to wait for the cook food. Dong Dong, Dong Wen and Dong Mei have learn to do house work chores. Thus they are the cook and the washers as well. Huan Xi is the one cleaning the house and patching the holes in the clothes. Just like this, many years have pass.
Three years later, Hu Li wake up, removing all her clothes and walk out of the cave. She waddle with her big tummy through the thick snow and finds a nice spot to hide. She did not know what she is doing. She make the grass flat as possible. Quietly she lay there with her three tails tuck around her. The wind continue to blow hard and strong. The dark sky remains quiet with some stars twinkling. The grass area that she had flatten down slowly starts to glow with warm light. Little sparkles of green slowly descend to the dark sky. Her three tails merge to be a large blanket around Hu Li. Her red tip had morph to a huge red symbol of thunder. Soon the dark sky roar with the sound of lightning and thunder in a distance.
In her dreams, she hear a child calling for her. She doesn't know what to do. When she walk nearer, the child look at her and smile. 'Remember my name is Bai Lu. Don't give me another names. I want to be call Bai Lu.' In her dreams, she hug him and say she will never forget that.
Her spiritual friends waking up to the sound of the thunder. It is terrifying, They look around the cave and wonder will it be safe from the lighting strikes. They have seen before the lighting that case down from the sky hits on some houses it cause huge fire. Dong Dong realised that Hu Li is missing. They all get from from the beds and search for Hu Li. Outside the cave, the wind is exceptionally strong. They find it hard to walk. They shout for her name and search the area. They can't find her nor see where she is. They panic if she have fallen at the river. After a long time, the wind finally stop. Huan Xi see in a distance there is a green glowing light. She leads them all to the spot. Upon reaching, Dong Dong and Dong Wen turn around. Huan Xi ask them to go fetch some cloth that they can wrap them. The two boys run back to the cave. While Dong Mei and Huan Xi try to wake Hu Li. She is naked and a baby is beside her. The child is not crying but looking at them. Dong Mei pick him up and Dong Dong arrive in time with a cloth. She wrap around the baby. Soon the child falls asleep in her arms. While Dong Wen arrives with a blanket. Hu Li's long tail remain like a big blanket, Huan Xi try to roll it up so that they can move her safely. Dong Wen and Dong Dong hold up Hu Li while Huan Xi struggle to hold up the big tail. The real dog along with the goat comes to help with the tail. Huan Xi put it on their back and slowly walk back with Hu Li.
After they put her on the bed, they are all soak with sweat. Dong Dong and Dong Wen stick out their tongue and look for water to drink. Soon Di Jun come walking into the cave house.
"Grand Master!"
They bow and he walk to Dong Mei who is carrying the baby. The child i still asleep when he touch him. He smile. The child is in a human form with fur like fox. His nails are the same like Hu Li's long and sharp. The baby open his eyes briefly to see who is touching him. Di Jun see that the baby's eyes are like the cosmo in the sky. Dark and shining. He ask Dong Mei to follow him out. They walk to the river and magically a huge lotus flower appear.
"Put him inside... Don't worry."
Dong Mei who grow attach hesitate however she knows that Di Jun will never harm them not mentioned to this baby. Slowly she walk near it and place the child inside.
"Grand master..."
"I will come every three days. Hu Li will continue to sleep till she recover. The baby needs a magic layer to protect him and nuture his form. This will help him and speed it up. How long will depends on him." The lotus flower slowly close up and a white glow surrounds it. Dong Dong and Dong Wen with Huan Xi run out to see the big lotus. Di Jun enforce it with another layer of his magic. Inside the shield, is small and big bubbles floating around the flower. With a gentle pausing rhythm, the flower move gently to it.
Dong Wen whisper softy with her hands clasp in front of her face. 'See you soon.'
