Night of Utopia

After tossing and turning half the night, unable to enter a meditative state, and even wanting to sleep soundly, his mind was filled with wandering thoughts of mystical arts, leaving him seething with anger. He got up and listened intently; all was quiet outside. He quietly disappeared from the bed and appeared directly in Qu Ping'er's room in the Misty Palace.

Qu Ping'er, who was meditating, was startled by a noise beside her. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth, followed by the familiar scent of a man. Then, another hand slipped inside her collar, kneading her breasts wantonly. Qu Ping'er immediately leaned weakly against the man's chest, letting him remove her clothes. The room filled with passionate breaths and moans...

After venting his Yue Qianchou felt much better. He scanned the entire Bai Suzhen Misty Palace with his Divine Sense and found that his parents and younger brother were already asleep. He then passed by Bai Suzhen's room but found that she was not there. He was slightly taken aback and immediately extended his Divine Sense to check. On the cliff opposite Misty Palace, a white figure was playing the zither and singing under the moonlight. Who else could it be but Bai Suzhen?

Yue Qianchou gently pushed away the plump, fair, and smooth body that was clinging to him, and said, "You go to sleep first, I have something to do with Guan Yu."

"Mmm!" Qu Ping'er released him reluctantly, her voice filled with sorrow. He gave a guilty, apologetic smile, put on his clothes, and disappeared, leaving a stunningly beautiful woman naked on the bed, clutching the pillow he had just slept on...

"So I've turned my back on worldly pleasures just to make you happy, to accompany you away from loneliness and be free..." Bai Suzhen finished singing in her heavenly voice, her jade fingers sweeping across the strings, the echo fading into the distance. Without even turning her head, she asked, "The melody is very beautiful, I like it very much, but you still haven't told me what it's called."

"You asked me the name of this piece?" Yue Qianchou asked, surprised. Bai Suzhen turned to look at him, as if she already knew he was coming. Her serene face lit up with a smile in the silvery moonlight, and she nodded.

"Heh! Let me think." Yue Qianchou scratched his head, genuinely unable to recall which song it was a rip-off from after her sudden question. Fortunately, he remembered in time and nodded, "Return!"

"Return to the past?" Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, her lips murmured in appreciation, then her expression brightened and she smiled gently under the moonlight, sighing softly, "In terms of your mastery of music, I'm afraid no one in this world can compare to you."

Yue Qianchou felt a little embarrassed by what she said, but luckily she was used to being thick-skinned and it wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely. She chuckled and said, "Whether this thing is good or bad or not, it can't be eaten or improve your cultivation. It's just something I made on a whim. Sister, you don't need to take it to heart."

Bai Suzhen smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying, gazing into the distance and feeling the night breeze. Yue Qianchou stared blankly for a moment, then took out the items he had bought from his Storage Bag and arranged them on the guqin, saying with a smile, "I bought these for you."

"Give these to Qu Ping'er! I don't need these things..." Bai Suzhen glanced down, then suddenly stood up before she could finish speaking. Staring at the items on the guqin as if struck by lightning, her voice trembling, she said, "The Cloud Chasing Hairpin, the Cloud Gathering Scarf, the Snow Silk Robe, the Snow Long Silk..."

Yue Qianchou was a little surprised. This thing was High Antiquity artifact. How could anyone recognize what it was at a glance? Moreover, she seemed very excited. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, have you seen these things before?"

"How did these things end up in your hands? How could these things possibly be in your hands? Tell me, how did you get them?" Bai Suzhen's voice grew increasingly agitated, and her hands, half-exposed from her white sleeves, trembled slightly as she raised them.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Yue Qianchou also became a little nervous. Bai Suzhen grabbed him and asked almost pleadingly, "Tell me quickly, how did this happen?"

"This is something I won at the auction. Sister, calm down. What's wrong? What does this have to do with you?" Yue Qianchou steadied her shoulders with both hands.

"It was bought at an auction?" Bai Suzhen shook off his hands, picked up the "Snow Silk Robe," and fiddled with the waistband of the garment. In the moonlight, the words "Xiao Xue" were clearly visible. She immediately shook her head, completely bewildered, saying, "Impossible, impossible, you're lying to me. How could there be such a thing at an auction? How could this thing be auctioned off? You're lying to me..."

Seeing that she was starting to lose control of her emotions, Yue Qianchou opened his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace, saying in a deep voice, "Calm down, calm down, calm down, tell me what's going on, what do these things have to do with you?"

Bai Suzhen was about to struggle, was stunned when she smelled his body odor. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and after a long while, she finally said, "I'm fine now, let me go!"

Yue Qianchou slowly released her and whispered, "What exactly happened?"

Bai Suzhen gently embraced the Snow Silk Robe, gazing into the distance and murmured, "These four items are treasures passed down through generations of my fox clan. Although they are not top-tier Law Treasure, they are tokens of the Clan Leader of each generation. Therefore, only the Clan Leader is qualified to wear and use them. Before I was expelled from the fox clan, these four treasures belonged to my mother. Because of me, my mother took them off and handed them over to the next Clan Leader."

"You were expelled from the fox clan?" Yue Qianchou, somewhat surprised.

"Yes..." Bai Suzhen explained the whole story in detail.

In the frigid far north, there lived a clan of snow foxes, the same fox clan to which Bai Suzhen originally belonged. Demon Race were also Demon Race, possessing a lifespan unmatched by humans. Over a thousand years ago, Bai Suzhen was just beginning to develop intelligence, still a young fox, unable to transform into human form. However, she heard many tales of human love from her older sisters, including poignant and beautiful love stories between foxes and humans.

The little fox was both curious and admiring, and longed to experience human life. So she secretly ran away from the Far North and ran towards the legendary place where humans lived... However, when she finally arrived at the place where humans lived after going through all kinds of hardships, she found that everything was not as perfect as she had imagined. Almost all the humans shouted and killed her when they saw her, and sharp arrows were shot at her everywhere. When she hid in the deep mountains and forests, there were ferocious beasts that wanted to hunt her.

She was completely panicked and fled, not knowing how far she had gone. One day, she was shot and wounded by a hunter in a mountain forest. She thought she was going to die after fleeing for a short distance, but was rescued by a scholar. The scholar carefully saved her and she was almost fully healed. Just as her mother, who had planted a wisp of Divine Sense in the little fox's body, found her and took her back to the fox clan in the far north.

After returning home, the image of the scholar lingered in the little fox's mind. After hundreds of years of arduous cultivation in the Far North, she had already achieved some level of cultivation. Although she could not yet transform into human form, she believed that she could protect herself. She proposed to her mother that she wanted to repay the scholar's kindness. Her mother smiled and agreed, but also made a request: that she return if she could not find the scholar.

The little fox, naive to the ways of the world, had no idea that her mother's quick agreement was because ordinary humans simply couldn't live for hundreds of years. When she finally found the place where the scholar had once lived, the mountains remained the same, but everything had changed. After wandering around the area for several years and gaining some understanding of the human world, the little fox was greatly disappointed. She returned to her fox clan to report to her mother and begged her to let her go out to cultivate. Normally, foxes wouldn't grant such a request, but her mother had just taken over as Clan Leader and had some privileges. Unable to resist her daughter's pleas, she agreed.
