White Fox Jade

When 1000 years arrive. He arrive at the cave. Undo the spell and walk in. However the flower is still close and the lights are dancing around. He waited for quiet some time and nearly fall asleep. When suddenly he hear a crystal like cracking sound from the flower. As it slowly opens up, the flower slowly lower itself. He walk into the pond and towards the flower pad. Hu Li is laying there in a human form. Her hair is long and white, just like him. Hu Li open her eyes. She smile to see him and struggle to push herself up. Seeing this, he stop her. he remove his outer robe and wrap around her. After that he pick her up and calmly walk out of the flower pad. Hu Li look around where is she. She remembers the cave that he bought her in. She see the flowers in the pond, they all glow. In her heart she thank them. 

Back in his living quarter, he walk to his bedroom and put her down on the bed. He help her to wear his outer clothes properly. They sit face to face and look in her eyes, they are still in golden hue. Her eye brow, eyelashes and hair is all pure white like snow. 

"Can you speak a word?" 

She shake her head and touch her throat. Strangely her nails are still like claws, long and golden. He reach out and take her hand which is warm and pale. He touch her head and pat her slowly. She tilt her head like she did as a fox and close her eyes. When she open her eyes, she sees him watching her with interest. 

"You can call me Di Jun. I will teach you everything you want to know. I will also teach you some spells. I will be your family from today onwards. "

He turn around and reach for a small cup. He pass the cup to her. She shake her head. He insist that she holds it. She hold it awkwardly and look at him. While he is getting another cup for himself. 

"First lesson. Even though we don't need to drink nor eat. We have to pretend that we need to do so. You might ask why. It is because we are not animals anymore. Not that we are animals, we are celestial beast that have spend more than 1000 of years to become a 2 leg beings. To be civillize, we have to act like a proper civilize cultured beings. The first step is learn to drink tea from this small cup." 

She watch him drink and follow how he does it. However some of it drip down her chin. He laugh and wipe it off by using his sleeves. Hu Li finds him interesting. His laughter is rich and deep. She begin to smile and learn to laugh like him even though there is no sound from her. They both side and laugh for awhile. 

Hu Li falls asleep after listening to him talking non stop. Di Jun stop talking when he notice she disappear. He open the outer garment and find her curl up to sleep like when she is a fox. He yawn too and stand up to stretch about. Walking over to his desk, he sits on the floor and start to read. A fairy maid appear with some fresh fruits on the plate. She spots the white fox on his bed. Di Jun put up his finger to his lips. She nods her head and quietly walk out after placing it on his desk. Soon the entire heavenly palace knows that DI Jun is keeping a new celestial beast in his quarters. They are all excited to get to know who is it. For 1000 years they have no new members joining them. The older is getting older and there is no new blood coming from any of the celestial beings. Even the stars in the sky remain the same. 

Hu Li have been sleeping for quite some time. Since it's always daylight in the heavens there is no way they know what is the time of the day. By the full moon she wakes up in her human form. She push herself up from the bed. Look around but he is not at his study desk. She put her legs on the floor and push herself to standup. She is able to standup but walking is it strange to her. All the while she walks on all 4 now she have to walk on 2 legs. As she try to walk, she falls. It is painful yet she can't make a noise to express the pain. Just then Di Jun walk in. Seeing that she is on the floor. He shake his head and put the book down on the desk. He walk over instead of helping her to get up, he carry her up. When he put her down on his bed, he look at the naked sight of her. Walking to his wardrobe, he finds a smaller garment for her. Again, he help her to dress up. After that he use his comb and spend time combing her long white hair. This time he did not talk and she listen to the sound of her hair being comb. She suddenly turn around and take a strand of his hair and a strand of her hair. She put them together. The colour and texture of the hair is almost the same. She look at him and smile. While he got surprise at her action. He put down the comb on the bed. He pat her head gently. "Later when you can start to talk, i will tell you everything."
