Fox in Captivity [Reborn]

Yan Fei is the junior apprentice sister of Kongmeng Valley. Her master has cherished her since childhood, and her fellow disciples have looked after her. Although she suffers from a soul ailment, she has lived a happy and comfortable life. Until she started dreaming frequently. In her dreams, she had a junior apprentice brother who had grown up with her, a handsome young man full of arrogant confidence. After only five years in the sect, he could sweep the Qingying Arena with a single sword strike, making everyone else retreat without daring to take the stage. In her dreams, Yan Fei fell in love with that junior apprentice brother. She took him through wind and snow, guiding him through trials and cultivation. He broke off branches to make hairpins for her and gathered dew to brew drinks. When her cauldron exploded while she was refining a magic weapon, he stayed by her side to shield her from the surging spiritual flames. Then he picked up her singed, charred hair and asked her to nourish it herself with spiritual energy. At the time, she smiled and agreed... Those dreams were long and beautiful, as if they had truly happened. Unable to make sense of them, Yan Fei decided to leave the valley and search for someone. On the way, she met a “fox blocking the road.” The fox was injured and bleeding, and could barely maintain a complete human form. Its fluffy pink ears drooped as its shrewd eyes stared fixedly at her. Yan Fei's heart softened. She rescued the fox and brought it back to the sect. Her new junior apprentice brother accompanied Yan Fei through wind and snow, and joined her in trials and cultivation. He broke off branches to make hairpins for her and gathered dew to brew drinks. He took a blow from a demon for her and wielded his sword against her enemies. Yan Fei thought it would be nice to have a junior apprentice brother like this, and even better if he could stay by her side forever. In the darkness, the fox pulled her skirt over its face and murmured, “Anything is fine. I'll be happy with whatever my senior sister gives me.” * Bai Wangqing had cultivated diligently for a thousand years, gained nine tails as a fox, and mastered the laws of Heaven and Earth. He believed he had long since cast aside all desires. Yan Fei fell in love with her junior apprentice brother and died for him after he betrayed their master. Bai Wangqing watched the cause and effect unfold, and in the end could only sneer, “Foolish.” But in the bitterest depths of winter, as the wind drove the snow down, he looked at Yan Fei's body as it was gradually buried and realized he still had a desire. He wanted to imprison this fool. Theme: Be brave and fight for what you want.
