Chapter 6: Her womanly voice
For a long time they remain quiet and listen to the tingling of the crystal from the flowers. They bodies are glowing within and their skin are diamonds like that sparkles. Finally when they are fully repair, Di Jun open his eyes, Like Hu Li he have golden hue eyes but because of the spell he used, he managed to conceal the original color. He turn to look at the quiet Hu LI who still have her eyes closed. DI Jun enjoy the sight of her in this manner. He lean back on his side and stretch out one of his leg to look at her. Hu Li sense that she is been watch she open and peek with her right eye. She sees a relax Di Jun and open her eyes. They both look at each other and laugh. Seeing Di Jun's eye, she got curious if she have seen correctly. She got on all fours and crawl to him. She got very near to him and stare at his eyes. While he too stare at her eye, they share the same color. However she doesn't know that, she is just curious how can his eye color be this when she remember everyday she see a deep brown color eye not golden like this. Because of her leaning so near him, he feels uneasy. Its a strange feeling that he never experience. He never have emotion for thousand of years therefore he never know what it means. Then suddenly she put her arms on him it cause him to fall back and lay on the pond of water with her. His ear is flooded with water but he can hear her laughter suddenly he hears someone calling his name. He raise himself up and see Hu Li calling him "Di Jun"
They both walk out of the pond and DI Jun walk to his garments. Again Hu Li scare him by hugging from behind. He almost cannot breath. "Di Jun!" She yell in the cave and it echo. He turn around and put hs hands on her mouth. For a moment he regret coming here to help her repair the imperfection. Even with his hand covering her mouth he can't stop her from circling her arms around him. Standing together naked skin to skin is strange for both of them yet it seems so natural. He let go of his hand. she lower her arms and place her head on his shoulder. Di Jun released that he likes her curvy body next to him. She allow him to touch her all over. His hands rest on her bottom. He wonder if this something natural to do.
After dressing up both of them, he hold her hands and slowly walk up the stairs. Again she attempt to run and chase the butterflies around them. He watch this child attempting to catch and she laugh. Suddenly she come running to him with her arms wide open. Di Jun catch her but they both fall down. Together they look at the sky above them. Their eyes takes them to look beyond the dark solar sky. They see the beautiful color crystals floating together. She try to look for the moon that she was created long ago. Hu Li just can't find it. She raise her hand like as if she is trying to reach the moon. While Di Jun see her reaching, he raise his hand and grab her hand. She turn her head to look at him. She smile and turn her body to him. Still holding his hand she use the other hand to lay it down on his chest. She close her eyes and smell the scent around them.
"How would you describe this smell?"
"It is the scent of the flower. It's flowery like human say."
"Who are humans?"
"They are the creatures that walk on 2 legs. They are the creature who can think intelligent as us but they do not have powers like we do."
Hu Li push her self up with her arm and use her finger to touch his lips.
"What is this call?"
"Lips."
She touch her own lips and back to his lips. He watch her doing repeatedly.
"Do we look the same?"
"No we don't. We just have the same hair color and the same eye color."
"What is your original form?"
"I am a great white ape. I am born on a human world."
"What about me?"
"You are a great white fox. Born on a planet we call moon."
"Why are we here?"
"The cosmic have created this place where all great celestal and mystical beast stay together to create balance in heaven and earth. "
"I am the only one great white fox?"
"Yes the only one and the most beautiful fox that ever created."
"We are family?"
"Yes family in a sense. All great magical beast are family. We are all created by the cosmic for a reason."
"What am i created for?" She touch his cheeks and lips.
"I don't know yet." Suddenly she lean down and put her lips on his. Di Jun at that point pause. She push herself up again.
"Keep talking. I want to know how the sound come out from the lips." She again land on his lips. They are looking at each other eye to eye. Di Jun push her away.
"Don't do that agin. It's so strange. Also the sound comes out from the mouth not lips."
"Show me your mouth."
Di Jun gets up in a hast and walk away while dusting his garments. When he turn around, he see Hu LI still on the ground sitting . Her dress have an opening he can see with one of her leg hosting up over the other in a strange angle. Her private part are for his viewing. He sigh and raise his hand to her. He grab her hand and pull her up. "Don't ever sit in those weird way, don't know where you learn those sitting styles..."He keep grumbling as they walk away holding hands.
The following days, Hu Li learn that she can transform into her fox form at will. When she naps she no longer transform to a fox. However she just want Di Jun to pay attention to her she just need to turn up naked. She learn from books how the apes and other creatures look like. She finds a fox is really cute. While the ape is rather ugly. However Di Jun is not ugly at all. He is really the best looking being in heaven. His long think nose, his deep brown eyes, and his full lips are the features she likes to touch most. She continue to flip the pages and learn to read the big words written on it and she comes across a picture of a rabbit. It reminds her of a friend she had long time ago. She look up to the clear sky and scan through the dark cosmic sky. She begin to wonder if the moon they are on is hiding from her view. She wonder how are they doing over there. It has been hundreds and hundreds of years. She had asked Di Jun about Chang'e the other day. He told her that Chang'e is serving her punishment. She won't be able to leave her jail house till she have complete the hundred thousand years of punishment. So what did she do to receive this serious punishment? He said Chang'e and her husband had stolen the pill of immortality from the temple of immortality. When the beings know this, they hunt down the couple. The husband is torture to know where he had hidden the pill. Because she loved her husband, she took and swallow the pill while he was torture. Her body becomes light and she is able to fly however because she is a human who had unnaturally become a celestial being without the law of nature intervention, she is suffering inside. Her husband beg the beings to help his beloved. They all agree but the couple will be separate forever and she have to stay in punishment. Her suffering ended when she is sent into the cosmic sky. While her husband aged on the human world and grieve for his love that he will never see again.
