She opens her arms and embraces the moon light as if she is absorbing its energy.
Her face glowed in the full moon as if she was someone extraordinary.
Her plain black eyes glowed blue in the moonlight. She is a fox spirit.
"How are you my dear child?" A familiar voice echoed in the lonely yard.
Her Fox Aura overwhelmed her, which is so much bigger than her current appearance with 7 tails but her Aura depicts that she is a Nine tailed Fox Spirit.
"You have successfully married him after waiting for over 200 years. Are you happy now?"
Hua Yan is a fox Spirit which is more than 200 years old but she still looks like a 16 year old girl.
She consumes moon energy and human energy to maintain her youth and lives in the forest all her life to avoid being identified.
She knows various herbs and medicines with which she created a new identity as the Divine sect who rarely shows up.
Everyone thinks that the Divine sect accepts only young girls as their disciples as every time only one of them comes and they are always a young girl.
But no one knows that all the girls who visited previously were the same woman who has lived for more than 200 years.
A fox spirit is born to the moon Goddess when she mates with someone from this world, this is a very rare phenomenon that the Moon Goddess bears a child with a Human.
So when this happens the child will consume the Moon energy to maintain their long life.
The Moon Goddess is the Guardian of the Moon and can control the Moon energy.
If the Fox spirit uses her energy completely, she will become frail just like any human until the next full Moon.
If any fox spirit kills a human and breaks the laws of this world then they will become a fox demon which turns evil and starts to feed on human energy by killing them.
Once a fox spirit turns into a fox demon she will eventually get the attention of the disciples of Moon Goddess Temple, who will then try to kill her for good.
The only people who can kill the fox demon are The Priestess of the Moon Goddess and their disciples.
They can only kill them if they can find traces of demonic energy in them.
Hua Yan has turned into a fox demon previously and used various herds to cleanse her spirit to remove the demonic energy and she has become a fox spirit without any demonic trace now.
She even disguised as a Divine sect disciple to extract human energy to cleanse her spirit.
She only consumes little human energy so that she could keep herself young and controlled, but doesn't harm anyone which helped her disguise.
A fox spirit could only marry only one person in her lifetime and she has been waiting to meet her mate for a long time until she saw Han Jun in the forest.
This is the time she realized he is her mate who has been reborn as Han Jun for her.
So she asked him to marry her in return for saving his life, so that she can become his companion for the rest of his life.
"Yes, I am Happy to be with him but i want to give birth to our child"
Though she married him, for a fox Spirit like her to conceive a child, she needs a lot of energy.
A voice echoes in her ears "You need to consume Moon energy in the 9 months of her pregnancy and still it might not be enough child"
"Then please help me in conceiving my child Mother"
"This time I won't harm anyone until they harm me or my people. You know that right?"
"My dear child, You know that No fox spirit has ever been able to give birth to their child without becoming demonic or draining of their energy which both resulted in their death"
"I know that I need to absorb a lot of human energy and moon energy without killing anyone for me to conceive my child in peace" she responds.
"Even after knowing this, you still want to give birth to your child?"
"Yes, I want to have a happy family and live with him forever"
"But I know you wanted to give birth to a son which will be even more difficult because a male nine tailed fox has never appeared on this Earth till now"
"What difference will that make?"
"You Need to sacrifice 9 lives for the Son you wanted to be born"
"What?"
"With your age and power you could give birth to a nine tailed fox spirit which is quite strong but it will also require a lot of human energy to give birth to a male child rather than a female one"
"But I want to give Han Jun an heir so that our love shouldn't be cracked by this palace politics".
"Then for a male Nine tailed fox to be born 9 male lives should be sacrificed"
"Doesn't that make me a fox demon"
"Yes , it will. So Just give up on this Crazy idea"
"No I don't want to, I will find a way and give birth to our child"
She is left in thoughts as she embraces the moon's energy and her eyes start to glow as she uses her power to give life to the child in her womb. She could feel the sensation inside her.
She is determined to give birth to her child under any circumstances.
The next day she enters the palace with Han Jun to meet the King and the Queen to pay their respects.
The Queen is quite old and is the biological mother of Han Yi Ying, the eldest princess.
Han Jun's biological mother is a palace maid and is dead shortly after his birth. Many believe that the queen killed her as she gave birth to a male child.
The Queen despises Han Jun for his low birth and stealing the limelight from her daughter.
She now doesn't like Hua Yan as well and wanted to stir troubles in her married life.
Han Jun goes to pay his respects to his father while Hua Yan kneels to pay her respects and serve her mother-in-law with tea.
"Since you are married to Han Jun as a Noble Consort, Your duty is to bear children for him."
"Also pick up some Consort and concubines from this list. These are all noble ladies in the city who are more noble than you" she taunts her and then throws the list in front of her.
Hua Yan picks it up and opens the list. The list contains many Noble ladies from different families.
The queen smiled with a satisfied face after humiliating Hua Yan but Hua Yan was not at all displeased.
"Sure, My Queen. It's my duty to bear children for the prince and choose him concubines"
Surprisingly Hua Yan is quite calm and accepts her proposal which enrages her even more.
She then asks her to go away. A smirk rose on her face as she saw the list and left proudly.
"My dear Queen you have solved a big problem for me without even knowing" she spoke her thoughts out with a smile as she left the Queen's palace.
Though the Queen feels flustered "I will also see for how long you will be proud, once the noble women enter the palace there will not be any place for you" she curses her out in anger.
The lady in waiting asks the queen " My dear Queen, Why have you given the marriages of so many noble families to the prince. Don't you despise him?"
"I despise him and I want to humiliate him even more after his wife doesn't select the noble women from great families and only choose some of low noble women as concubine to show maintain her position"
"By the time of the king's selection his position in court will be quite weak and he can't become the king anymore and it will be my grand son's turn to become the king" she smiles as she talks her thoughts.
"But what if she chooses some consorts for the prince"
"She wouldn't dare to choose Noble ladies, if she does then her situation will become inferior in front of those Nobble ladies"
