Jia Baoyu's Visit to the Land of Illusion (part 7)

Back

Baoyu, dazed, follows the fairy's instructions, engaging in intimate activities with Double Beauty, which are indescribable. The next day, they are inseparable. While exploring, they reach a place filled with thorns and wild beasts, with a black stream blocking the way. As they hesitate, the fairy rushes over, saying, "Stop! Turn back immediately!" Baoyu asks, "Where is this?" The fairy replies, "This is the Abyss of Confusion, deep and wide, with no bridge to cross. Only a raft, controlled by a hermit and a monk, can ferry the worthy. If you fall in, you will betray my warnings." Before she finishes, demons drag Baoyu into the abyss. He wakes up, sweating and shouting, "Double Beauty, save me!" The maids rush to comfort him, saying, "Baoyu, don't be afraid. We are here."

Qin Shi, outside, hears Baoyu calling her nickname in his sleep and wonders, "How does he know my nickname, which no one here knows?" The reason will be revealed in the next chapter.
