As Ye Hua made his way through the fragrant peach trees to Zhe Yan's hut, his mind was full of Bai Qian. He had come to get contraceptive peaches for her. This morning, he had noticed she had none left and had gathered from her behavior that she had not yet realized. Because he knew how important they were to her, he thought he would quickly replace them so that she would not get worried.

No, Ye Hua wasn't at all pleased that she took those peaches, but he wanted her to be happy. In truth, he had waited patiently for hundreds of years, but she showed no sign of wanting to have another child with him. She was outright reluctant to discuss it and changed the topic every time he brought it up. She even turned a deaf ear to A-Li's pleas for a sibling. For 300 years, Ye Hua had acted as father and mother to A-Li. Ye Hua could not help it, but it was his strongest wish to be a father again, this time with Bai Qian by his side. He knew that the lost experience could never be recovered, but he believed they could build new memories for their future.

Ye Hua was still daydreaming about a growing family with Bai Qian when suddenly, he was hit by a blast of energy that slammed him against a peach blossom tree. Before he could collect his senses, he was assaulted by an unknown woman who tried to force her tongue into his mouth while tearing at his clothes. Ye Hua was about to push her away when another high energy blast threw both him and the unknown woman into the pond.

He knew that was the Kunlun Fan - Bai Qian had arrived too.

Next, he was pulled out of the pond by Bai Qian's magic and positioned neatly at the foot of a tree. Flustered and wet, Ye Hua tried to make sense of this strange situation. Bai Qian was in a defensive stance with her back to him, Kunlun Fan ready. In front of her, also dripping wet, was a tall, beautiful woman.

"How dare you touch my man, you demon witch!" Bai Qian challenged her.

Ah, this seemed to be Mo Yuan's Demon Queen, this time with clothes. Ye Hua had no eyes for her though, only for his wife. He had never seen her act so defensively and jealous. Bai Qian had called him "her man"! He quite liked it.

"Qian Qian...", he tried to get her attention, seeking to defuse this situation, but Bai Qian would not have it.

"Do not speak, you let her touch you!" she said, without even looking at him. She was obviously very upset and Ye Hua decided to stay quiet for now and dry his clothes with magic.

"I only touched him a little, it's not like he's some virgin," the Demon Queen said haughtily.

The tall woman stared at Ye Hua with a slightly confused expression on her face. He immediately understood, because he was accustomed to this look, that she was trying to figure out why he looked so much like Mo Yuan.

"You tore at his clothes, you savage demon!" Bai Qian turned increasingly red with fury, a well known personality trait of the Fox Tribe. Ye Hua, who loved everything about Bai Qian without question, decided he liked this new shade of her very much.

"I see I got the wrong man," the Demon Queen said. "I didn't know the bastard had a son."

Frowning at the word 'son', Ye Hua wondered if her conclusion should offend or amuse him.

"Bastard? Who are you calling bastard!" Bai Qian was getting more and more furious and her anger seemed to prevent her from realizing what was more than obvious - this was simply a misunderstanding, one to laugh about.

The Demon Queen was thinking hard. "Bai daughter," she then said, awestruck, "you Foxes do not frown upon a woman being with both father and son at the same time?"
