"Human, " said the solemn but heavenly like voice.

"W-Who's there?!" Ming and Chun looked around frantically with their guards up while Xinyi on the other hand stared upon the fox intensely. As they kept looking around for the whereabouts of the voice, it then came back once again, "Don't worry human, I mean no harm. I am the Tiānshàng fox lying behind you."

In an instant Ming and Chun snap their head behind them as fast as they can to the fox direction, both faces had a look of surprise and bewilderment.

"I've been waiting for you." the fox ignored their look of astonishment and spoke up, eyes only gazing at Mings figure disregarding the two beings behind him.

"What do you mean you've been waiting??" Ming asked in confusion while Chun was still in the state of shock, only to snap out of it when Xinyi slapped him across the face.

'What the heck does this fox mean by waiting, oh god it's not gonna use the 'its fate line' is it,' Ming couldn't help but groan to the cliche thought.

"How are you communicating with us? Didn't they say you have to contract with a beast to be able too??" Ming asked, though it sounded more of a demand for his question to be answered. While he questioned the fox Chun stood on the side listening intently, leaving his master to do all the questioning.

"Ancient or Divine beast doesn't need to have a contract to be able to communicate with you humans, " the fox said solemnly.

"Hmm, I see... but well why are you lurking in the outer perimeter of the forest anyways? Shouldn't you like be deep within or something?" Ming pondered as he spoke out his thought. If their species were known to never venture out but stay deep within the safer grounds of the inner core of the forest... then why the heck did it decide to go out while it was pregnant, he couldn't help but think.

'Aiya so much going on and I only been here for a few days fuck my life, ' he inwardly cry.

"My intuition told me to come here, I needed to find something well more like someone..."

"Who, " Ming questioned with interest as his and Chun ears perk up.

"That someone is...you"

"B-but why me?! And how could you just trust your intuition!!" Ming couldn't help but raise his voice in concern and disbelief.

"Intuition human, we Tiānshàng Fox will always trust on our intuition." the fox said wisely with no way to refute.

"I see bu..., " as Ming was about to ask another question suddenly the fox began to howl loudly in pain, "Awoooooooooo~"

"Ahh.. what's wrong?!" Ming panicked as he looked frantically at the crying fox. Chun and Xinyi immediately went to Ming side to see what was going on.

"The pain... hurts."

"What...... don't tell me you're..."

"My kit... it's... it's going to come now," the fox weakly said as it continue on howling in utter excruciating pain.

"Ahhh master what do we do???" Chun shouted out in a panic.

"I don't know why you're asking me!!" Ming exclaimed, hands waving frantically.

"Because master gave birth!" Chun retorted back like his master knows all the solution to a problem.

As both side bickered back and forth, Ming was about to say something next when Xinyi flew inbetween them and squeak out loud, pointing at the fox who began pushing its pup out.

Stopping their arguments mid-way since they have something more important to pay attention at, Ming quickly ordered Chun to fetch the blankets from there luggage.
