The Peach Immortal's Strange Tales: Fairies, Don't Fall in Love

Reborn as a peach, Tao Li took root on a peach tree and lost track of how many years had passed. Eventually, even Dian Su, the snow fox who had kept him company for a hundred years, went down the mountain. Tao Li thought he was doomed to rot on the tree for the rest of his life. Then, half a year ago, he drank the transformation potion sent ten thousand miles by a group of red foxes. At last, he could take human form, leave the soil behind, and stop gazing down at the mortal world. “Lord Dian Su was captured by those wicked Daoist priests from the Tianxuan Supreme Sect. She told us to bring you the transformation potion...” a red fox said through tears. And so Tao Li went down the mountain. He was heading to the Tianxuan Supreme Sect. He traveled 180,000 li alone. A chivalrous woman threatened him with her life: “This match was arranged by Heaven itself! If you won't be my husband, I'll kill you!” A sweet-tongued empress tried to persuade him: “Brother Tao Li, wouldn't it be wonderful if we stayed here and spent the rest of our lives together?” A Daoist nun saw him off in silence: “If you can't find her, come to the covered boat where we first met on East Lake...” Tao Li looked utterly miserable. “Immortal ladies, don't fall for me! I really have things to do!!”
