Hu Li after listening to Fei, she understand that she is part of their entourage. However she doesn't know why she is created in the moon instead of this realm. In any case, she is now some sort a part of them.
She look into Fei's eyes, they are not clear white but it looks like there are clouds in his eyes. He laugh and blush.
"I never feel so strange when other people stare till just now. The way you look into my eyes."
"Are you ..."
"I am created with clear black eyes like black stones. I think because of how close i fly in the sky, the sun whiten it as time goes by. Do i look... "
"Handsome. Handsome the way you are."
He laugh heartily. Showing off his pearly teeth. He touch his dark emerald hair and swing them back. Hei seeing his brother so happy, is not happy. He wish that Hu Li praise him instead.
"I even more handsome when i am a phoenix!"
"Brother, you are not a peacock. Stop being such a show off."
"Well Hu Li did not lie. I am handsome compare to both of you. Besides that whether peacock or phoenix, we fly!"
"Fei! In compare to handsomeness, i should be the one!"
"Hu Li, you be the judge who is handsome here. He or me?"
Hu Li look at the two men in front of her. Both identical in every aspect. The only difference is the eyes, hair and nail colour. She did not know what to say and she look everywhere. She whisper
"What should i say. Both of you are identical right now to your height. Can i say both are handsome?"
"No just choose one."
"My love, i know you the longest. Also we are both foxes. Shouldn't it be me?"
The whole night the two brother argue about who is the better looking one. While Hu Li escape with the help of her son.
That night they are shown to a little hut to allow bai Lu to sleep in it. The rest of the spiritual animals are sleeping outside in their animal form. The night is silence and peaceful. Hu Li look up to the sky. She look for her old friends again but yet there is no sight of them. She recall the days that she was a little fox that run around with them and the day when the stones form to become a long bridge for them to cross over. Her eyes continue to scan through the cosmo space.
"It's no use to linger in the past."
She look up to see Hei and he sits down beside her. Under the tree they watch the fireflies around them. He hold her hand, it feels warm for both of them. They tails sway together in harmony. One black and three white tails. The moon watches over them as they enjoy the breeze and the fireflies.
They new arrival stay in the forest for nearly a month. One day, Di Jun appear under the tree. Fei fly in from the sky to meet his master. While Hei growl softy at Master Wu's little house. He won't do loudly as the master will use the stick to knock his head. While Hu Li had reminded him the other day that Bai Xuan is waiting for him at the temple. He doesn't wish to go there but it is a place that he have to go someday. Di Jun walk towards Hu Li before he can say anything Bai Lu come running fast and leap into his arm. Hei again feels disappointed and tell himself he needs to work harder to get Bai Lu to like him more. Fei is too surprise to see a small boy attached to his master who does not seems to know any emotion. However he does sense that his master treat Hu Li different comparing to others.
When the others are away playing, Di Jun walk towards Hu Li who is playing with the cattail grass tickling her own nose.
"Hu Li..."
"Hmm master... This is so strange it ticklish!"
"Hu Li... his time is near."
Her hand drop down. Di Jun pat her hair gently.
"Do you want to meet him?"
"Should i?"
"So that he can go to his next stage and return someday in this realm, again."
"How long more does he have?"
"I don't know. All i know is that, he is going someday. He is dying and he is calling your name. The gods ask me to send you there, if you want to."
"Why are the gods interfering with his life?"
"I don't know. Do you want to..."
"Yes..."
She whisper. He point to the nearby tree where they are standing.
"Go. It will bring you straight to his bedroom. When you want to return, just call my name. I will hear you and open the portal."
Hu Li nod her head. She walks to the tree with a blue glow in it. She step into a blue portal with strong wind blowing at each direction. It makes her want to close her eyes. The ground that she is stepping in is like watery. Suddenly the wind stop and the ground feels like hard. She open her eyes to see she is standing in a room.
