The Nightmare Experience of a Useless Person

The tranquility of the countryside and the hustle and bustle of the city are both delightful experiences for Bai Chan. The shops and houses stand side by side, and there is a dazzling array of novelties. More importantly, the wines here are incredibly diverse!

Li Ji's Osmanthus Wine, Tao Ji's Mulberry Wine, Zhou's Restaurant's Pine Wine, Zhang's Restaurant's Lychee Wine, and the corn wine from roadside stalls—each has its own unique flavor and its own intoxicating charm!

Bai Chan tasted them all, and spent his days drunk in the wine vat, forgetting to even tuck his tail and ears back in several times.

Every morning, he would either sprawl out in the roadside flowerbeds or lie on the back door of a house in the alley, completely unrestrained and dissolute. If it weren't for his father's gardenia hairpin, Bai Chan would have long since become a plate of fermented fox meat, someone else's meal.

It was dusk when Bai Chan, her head still foggy, tried to sober up with some rough tea from a street stall. Her eyes were closed, and the whole fox was dazed.

"My little one has disappeared again!"

"Mine too! He's probably gone out for drinks and entertainment again!"

"That despicable vixen!"

"Fox spirit! What fox spirit! I'm not a fox spirit!" Bai Chan's nerves seemed to be pulled hard. She stood up abruptly, frantically checking her tail and ears. She turned around and brushed past the two angry women.

"So they weren't talking about me." Bai Chan breathed a sigh of relief, but their mention of it made her a little homesick. Since leaving Qiuyeping, she hadn't encountered a single fox.

Why don't we go with the two older sisters and see if we can actually meet other foxes! We can even try that flower wine!

"Wind, Moon, Tower".

The name sounds nice, with wind and moon in the background, but the smell is not very elegant. A heavy, powdery smell clings to the nose, mixed with the smells of alcohol, food, and sweat.

Bai Chan had only stood still for three seconds when two girls came out to greet her, dragging her from the dim twilight into the magnificent, extravagant city that never sleeps.

"Is there someone you're looking for?" The girl, with her bare shoulders, leaned against Bai Chan's chest, her whole body pressed tightly against hers, as if she wanted Bai Chan to feel the allure between her legs through her clothes.

It was a bit presumptuous, but the hospitality was palpable. So this was how city people welcomed people. Bai Chan greeted her with a smile, gently putting his arm around the girl's slender waist. "Are there any vixens here?"

"A vixen? I am a vixen!" The girl laughed heartily, and after touching the bulging purse at Bai Chan's waist, she laughed even more unrestrainedly. She embraced Bai Chan and sat down at the table, waving her hand to summon a table of wine and dishes.

"Really? I'm a fox too!" Bai Chan's eyes sparkled as his admiring gaze swept over the girl, admiring her graceful curves, alluring figure, and approachable demeanor. "You really are a fox. Only we foxes can be so beautiful."

"Very well, whether you're a god or a demon, I'll serve you until you're happy!"

With a grape in her left hand and a piece of peach in her right, before she could even swallow them, her slender little hand scooped up a glass of fine wine and eagerly poured it into her mouth, instantly making Bai Chan see stars and feel parched.

"Another cup?" The sweet, coquettish voice landed softly in her ear. Before Bai Chan could react, three or four more cups of hot wine were poured into her stomach. The wine was hot and burning, making her feel as if her internal organs were engulfed in flames.

When she opened her eyes again, golden light spread across the room, like thousands of stars falling into a hall full of gold and jade, surrounding the dancers in a dazzling display of jewels. Their graceful dance and alluring eyes gently drew Bai Chan's soul, carrying her up to the heavens on a faint, lingering fragrance.

Beautiful! Beautiful!

During the banquet, someone removed her outer garment. Freed from restraint, Bai Chan felt light and airy. She wanted to get up and dance, but the girl in front of her wouldn't allow it. Her cool fingertips brushed across Bai Chan's burning cheeks, leaving a faint fragrance of wine on her nose, but they didn't stop. This made her bend down and chase after the girl, chasing after her warm and soft body, chasing after her snow-white shoulders.

There was a beautiful red mole there, captivating all who saw it. Bai Chan bared his canine teeth and gently nibbled at it, finally pinning the girl down beneath him, making her laugh heartily.

"Who brewed this wine?"

The girl didn't answer, feeling disappointed, and pushed Bai Chan away, saying, "Why did you ask that?"

"My beauty is angry." Bai Chan stared blankly, her hands haphazardly trying to untie the purse at her waist, but she couldn't get it off no matter what she did. She simply gave it a hard tug, ripping the purse loose. She held up the bulging gold purse in both hands. "Good sister, please tell me~"

The girl's brow unfurrowed after taking the purse. She pointed lightly towards the back room with her delicate hand, "Go there, to the innermost room. The blind man there is the winemaker."

"Good sister~" Bai Chan bent down to find her soft body again, but the girl did not appreciate it. She pushed Bai Chan's shoulders with both hands, straightened her clothes, and left the seat without any emotion.

"What a snobbish vixen." Bai Chan lifted the wine pot, which was empty. The last drop fell on her neck, slid down her slender neck, and soaked her thin inner shirt.

She got up reluctantly and staggered towards the dimly lit back room. There wasn't a single light on the way, but Bai Chan still felt that everything in front of her was bright, even though she couldn't see anything clearly. She stumbled several times and almost fell to the ground.

What did that flower wine taste like? Bai Chan drank a whole pot but couldn't remember what it tasted like. She only felt extremely thirsty and parched. If she didn't have a sip soon, she felt she would die of depression.

Following the increasingly strong aroma of wine, Bai Chan stumbled and crawled to the last room. Just as he was about to politely knock on the door, he leaned against it, and the door opened. The fox fell hard on the hard ground.

"Who goes there? Are you the servant? We're out of wine for today."

What a clear voice.

Bai Chan looked up and saw a thin silk screen in front of him. Behind the screen, a dim candlelight shone, casting the silhouette of a slender figure.

She stood up and walked straight around the screen. The man behind the screen was dressed in a thin white shirt, his eyes were covered by a white band, and he had no other decorations. He knelt upright, and had a kind of reclusive and wild spirit, which was out of place in this brothel.

"Really, there's no more wine?" Bai Chan stammered, his words broken and fragmented.

"You must be a customer who has wandered in by mistake. We're out of wine today. Please come again tomorrow."

Bai Chan's body went limp, but she felt incredibly hot inside. "Is there not a single bite left?"

"Yes."

"Then let me ask you, what is this wine made of? What is it made of? And why is it so intoxicating after drinking it?"

"I learned the brewing recipe from Linmengyuan many years ago when I accidentally wandered into it. As for the ingredients, I cannot tell you, young lady."

"Linmengyuan?" Bai Chan had heard of it before. Intrigued, she pressed on, "Have you heard of Obsession? Linmengyuan's Obsession Wine?"

"No."

"No?" Bai Chan slumped to the ground and crawled closer to the candlelight, trying to get a better look at the person.

"If you wish to seek it, I can take you to Linmengyuan."

"That's great!"

Bai Chan knelt up, trying to brace herself against the man's thin arms.

Feeling offended, the man dodged, and Bai Chan lost her balance, falling directly down and tearing off most of the man's clothes.

"What are you doing! Get out! I'm just a winemaker, not a male prostitute! Get out!"
