After a burst of light, a peach blossom grove appeared.
In this vast peach blossom forest, a thatched cottage stands quietly.
The owner of the thatched cottage was a young scholar who read under the peach tree every day, living a simple and peaceful life.
The reason why scholars like to read under peach trees is that when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the entire treehouse is surrounded by peach blossoms, as if one is in a fairyland.
One day, the scholar discovered that the peach tree was laden with large peaches. He couldn't resist picking one and taking a bite. He found that the peach was very sweet and tasted delicious.
So he picked the peaches and exchanged them for money to cover his journey to the capital for the imperial examinations.
However, fate did not seem to favor this scholar; he failed the imperial examination.
He felt lost and helpless, so he began to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
One night, he got very drunk and, after returning to the treehouse, collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and a beautiful peach blossom landed on the scholar.
This peach blossom is the Peach Blossom Fairy who has not yet become an immortal.
She transformed into human form and sat quietly by the scholar's bedside, her eyes gleaming with tenderness. She gazed at the scholar silently, then slowly lay down on top of him, embracing him until dawn.
"So, my sister likes gentle, scholarly men," Fu Yun said softly.
Ah Li glanced at Fu Yun expressionlessly.
Fu Yun immediately understood what Ah Li meant: to be quiet. He shut his mouth but started playing with Ah Li's hand.
Ahri glared at him, but he stayed close to her, continuing to watch what was happening before his eyes.
That night, the scholar was unaware that a peach blossom spirit was sleeping with him fully clothed, nor did he know that a peach blossom spirit had actually been keeping him company all along.
It's unclear when the peach blossom spirit began to develop feelings for the scholar.
However, when the scholar woke up the next morning, the peach blossom spirit had vanished without a trace.
The scholar rallied and resumed his life. He viewed his failure as an opportunity for growth and learning, and no longer dwelled on his past setbacks.
At that moment, the scholar smelled a rich fragrance of peach blossoms.
It came from the wine he drank last night.
The scholar stepped forward to look and discovered that there were peach blossom petals in the wine.
The addition of peach blossom petals to the wine made it even more fragrant and mellow.
A light shone in the scholar's eyes. He flipped through books and learned how to brew wine, specifically peach blossom wine.
Soon, the scholar's peach blossom wine became famous.
Over time, the treehouse transformed into a workshop, surrounded by endless peach blossoms. Every spring, the entire peach grove is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
The scholar's peach blossom wine also began to become famous far and wide.
He used his own peach blossoms to brew a unique wine with an intoxicating aroma that makes people feel as if they are in a beautiful place.
As his business flourished, the scholar soon married and had children, living a happy and fulfilling life.
The peach blossom spirit, however, simply hid in the shadows, offering her silent blessings.
Because the Peach Blossom Spirit is a demon, and people always say that humans and demons are different and cannot have a good ending if they are together.
Centuries later, the world was in turmoil, and demons roamed freely.
A demon, severely wounded, fell into the peach blossom forest.
The demon looked exactly like the scholar, so the peach blossom spirit saved him, believing that the demon was the reincarnation of the scholar.
But the devil is evil.
He not only deceived the peach blossom spirit's feelings, but also hurt her and took away the peach wood she was guarding.
Because the demon obtained this peach wood, the world became even more chaotic.
A powerful being rescued the peach blossom spirit and asked her, "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of all living beings?"
The peach blossom spirit was heartbroken at that time, and she was willing to sacrifice herself to save the world.
The peach wood in the demon's hand is used to suppress demons.
After the peach blossom spirit made her sacrifice, the peach wood was put to its greatest use, and the powerful being even opened the great formation that sealed the demon race.
The peach blossom spirit willingly sacrificed herself to become the core of the formation, and her tribulation was over.
When she awoke, she had become an immortal, but not quite an immortal, as she had no physical form because her body had become the core of the formation. The peach tree that had been with her for so long, the one she always called her old friend, remained guarding the demon-suppressing land.
Not long after Peach Blossom Fairy became an immortal, she also came to the Demon-Suppressing Land and spent countless years with her old friend.
Because she was in the Demon-Suppressing Land, Peach Blossom Fairy would hear many voices there, good and bad, some bewitching. Originally, Peach Blossom Fairy's heart was as still as water, but she was still drawn out by her inner demons. Fortunately, she had her old friend, who stayed by her side and helped her through each time her inner demons flared up.
Ahri looked at the Demon-Suppressing Grounds, now reduced to a thick fog and a single peach tree, and placed one hand on her chest, silently asking, "If you knew that this Demon-Suppressing Grounds were the same peach grove from before, what would you do?"
The once endless peach orchard eventually dwindled to just one peach tree.
The once idyllic peach blossom forest has been transformed into an endless expanse of darkness.
"So she regretted it. After her inner demons were unleashed, she almost committed suicide. Unfortunately, immortals are hard to extinguish." The peach tree also came along.
He transformed into an old man, holding a piece of peach wood in his hand.
Fu Yun held Ah Li's hand as the old man continued, "Too much time has passed, and the demons have fallen silent. I don't know if they've been refined by this great formation or if they've gone into hiding."
After using his divine power to sense the area for a while, Fu Yun said, "There are no more demons here."
Ahri raised her other hand and touched her nose. In fact, when she came to complete the task for this Peach Blossom Fairy, she had already purified the demonic energy here, and the demons in the great formation were also eliminated along with it.
She was already an excellent system, and staying in this place filled with demonic energy every day would be very bad for her system. In addition, she had too many items, including many artifacts for purifying demons.
However, she was not one to show off, so she didn't say it.
When the old man heard what Fu Yun said, he looked at Ah Li and then laughed.
Finally, after the old man finished laughing, he said, "Then I have no more worries."
He's been guarding this place for too long. Before, he accompanied the peach blossom spirit in her cultivation, and later he guarded this demon-suppressing land. He gets tired too.
The old man handed the peach wood to Fu Yun, saying, "The destruction of Peach Blossom Immortal's physical body is irreversible, but this peach wood might be useful."
Ah Li tried to stop him, but Fu Yun quickly put the peach wood away.
The old man clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Ahri, and said, "Thank you."
Then, he transformed into starlight and fell into this world.
Fu Yun waved his sleeve, and a burst of divine power flew out in all directions along with the starlight.
The darkness was disappearing, and this world was once again bathed in light. The peach trees reappeared and blossomed anew.
Ahri looked around and found that this peach grove was even better than the original one.
“Fu Yun”.
"Yes, I'm here."
Ahri turned around and hugged him, saying, "Thank you."
"If you want to thank me, why not repay me with your body?" Fu Yun smiled and hugged Ah Li.
