Fox Fairy, Princess of the Silent Night

Two boats floated on a vast lake. The sun had gone down and darkness had descended upon the world.

Apart from a luxurious ship, which was a popular spot to visit beautiful courtesans and watch mesmerizing performances, no other boat could be found.

Everyone was returning to their homes but these two immortals sitting on different boats seemed to lack understanding of the concept of time.

Lanterns were attached to the long stick situated at the back of the boats.

Ripples spread out from the bottom of the boat. Xiu Ying sat in an elegant and reserved manner but Li Chen laid down flat and placed his hands behind his head as he gazed at the sky.

"The moon isn't out today," he said softly.

"Why do you like the moon so much? You said something similar back then." Xiu Ying held the bulwark and leaned towards Li Chen's boat.

He tilted his head, flashing a soft smile that spoke volumes about his fondness for the moon. 

"It's beautiful."
