> Ancient Love Poetry Recap
Two lower realm unidentified immortals, Wuxu and Wuwang, snuck into Qingchi Palace, wanting to take a ladle of immortal spring water to drink, but were discovered by Chang Que of Qingchi Palace. As soon as the two saw Chang Que, they hurriedly left, leaving behind the Fire Coral in Qingchi Palace. Feng Qi knew this was Zijin Manor's birthday gift, and the two lower realm unidentified immortals belonged to Ziyuan.
Although Ziyuan had bullied Qingchi Palace to this extent, Gujun was not in the palace, and Houchi's spiritual power was low, so Feng Ran decided to tolerate it for a while to avoid stirring up trouble. Chang Que did not understand Feng Ran's meaning, as Houchi's cultivation had clearly improved greatly. Feng Ran lightly shook her head. It turned out that Houchi's spiritual power had not increased.
The reason she passed Feng Qi's test was that Feng Qi saw her efforts, and Feng Ran did not want to disappoint Houchi, so she secretly helped Houchi during the test, making Houchi mistakenly believe her spiritual power had greatly increased. Houchi was born with completely blocked spiritual meridians. Gujun spent forty thousand years helping her hatch from her egg.
She was weak and often ill, her spiritual meridians unstable, and abandoned by her birth mother, a fact known throughout the Three Realms. Therefore, for the sake of Qingchi Palace's reputation, she rarely left the palace in these twenty thousand years, which made Feng Qi extremely heartbroken. Especially in the years after Baixuan left, Houchi worked even harder to gather spiritual power and refine divine power. Her efforts were evident to everyone.
By the spring in Qingchi Palace, Houchi encountered Wuxu and Wuwang, who had come to look for the Fire Coral. Wuxu and Wuwang did not recognize Houchi and only assumed she was a small immortal maiden. Houchi exposed their improper intentions for entering Qingchi Palace. Although Qingchi Palace was comparable to the Heavenly Palace, it no longer had its former prosperity, so the two did not pay Houchi any mind, and even wanted to attack her.
Fortunately, Feng Ran arrived in time and rebuked them, sending them away. Because Zijin Manor was too overbearing, Feng Ran decided not to endure it any longer. It just so happened that the Donghua Grand Feast invited all gods and immortals. The invitation he sent to Qingchi Palace was for Houchi and Gujun. Gujun was not in the palace, and all palace affairs were handled by Feng Ran.
Feng Ran decided to let Houchi go to Wangshan to attend the banquet, and Houchi agreed. Returning to her hall, Houchi looked at the painting before her eyes and couldn't help but miss Baixuan. Since she was young, she had Baixuan's company. Baixuan had told her stories of the God Realm, unaware that Baixuan was actually True God Bai Jue from the ancient God Realm. Baixuan always wore a mask.
Houchi wanted to know Baixuan's true appearance, but she never saw Baixuan's true face until he left Qingchi Palace to undergo his Heavenly Tribulation. Before leaving, Baixuan made a ten-thousand-year agreement with Houchi. He told Houchi to always wear the chain in her hand, and when he returned ten thousand years later, he would be able to find Houchi by this bracelet. That would also be the day they truly meet.
In this life, he only wished for Houchi to be carefree and do everything she liked. Wuxu and Wuwang returned to Zijin Manor. Under Wuxu's deliberate treatment, Wuwang's wound looked as if it had been injured by a demon god. The two accused Qingchi Palace, not mentioning at all their unauthorized intrusion into Qingchi Palace's barrier, only repeatedly claiming that Qingchi Palace was bullying others by relying on its power. Ziyuan and Feng Ran had always had grudges.
Because of this matter, Ziyuan decided to bring Wuxu and Wuwang to Wangshan for the Donghua Grand Feast. He was determined to make Feng Ran look bad then. The Heavenly Realm spread the news that Houchi intended to attend the Donghua birthday banquet. Jingzhao and Houchi were nominally born of the same Heavenly Empress Wu Huan. Two immortal maidens discussed Jingzhao and Houchi, wondering who was more beautiful. Jingzhao had been spoiled since she was young.
Although she had never met Houchi, she utterly despised and loathed her. Because the immortal maidens compared her to Houchi, Jingzhao directly subjected the two to flogging. Heavenly Emperor Mu Guang learned of this matter and reprimanded Jingzhao, and told Jingzhao and her second brother, Jingjian, to go to Wangshan to offer birthday wishes.
Jingzhao initially did not want to go, but upon hearing that the Lord of the North Sea would also be going to Wangshan, her girlish thoughts immediately became apparent, and she quickly agreed. Feng Ran and Houchi left the gates of Qingchi Palace. Houchi used a spiritual talisman left by Baixuan, wanting to go ahead first, but was caught by Feng Ran. Feng Ran knew Houchi wanted to go to Wangshan to find Baixuan.
She did not fuss with Houchi, but decided to attend the birthday banquet, and after finishing, would go to the small bamboo house in Wangshan to find Houchi. Houchi wanted to find Baixuan's whereabouts along the way. She met a lower realm unidentified immortal selling paintings at the foot of the mountain and only then learned that in the eyes of the immortals and gods, she was actually extremely ugly and had immense strength.
While she was angry, she heard another rumor: attending the banquet this time were not only Jingzhao, but also the Lord of the North Sea, Qingmu. Qingmu was the most accomplished immortal in the past thousand years, reaching the peak of the Lord position in a thousand years, and with just one sword, he flattened the many demons of the North Sea.
The Heavenly Emperor, without even meeting him, treated him with great courtesy and bestowed upon him the title of Lord of the North Sea, Star Splendor. Furthermore, this Qingmu was deeply favored by Jingzhao and was highly likely to become the Heavenly Court's favored son-in-law. Houchi dismissed Qingmu with contempt, believing that anyone Jingzhao fancied must be a useless person with only outward appearance. At this point, Houchi's flying talisman was used up.
She thought for a moment and had no choice but to use a speed talisman to go to the peak of Wangshan. The birthday banquet was being held at the peak of Wangshan. Qingmu and Jingjian appeared together. The two were childhood friends. Jingjian knew Qingmu was introverted and disliked strangers. Although Qingmu wanted to refuse, Jingjian still asked Qingmu to go to the back garden to find Jingzhao and reminisce with her.
The two had met a few times when they were young. Houchi, in a hurry, used the speed talisman and ended up in Donghua's Daze Manor. She unexpectedly ran into Qingmu and Jingzhao together and overheard their conversation. Qingmu was always vigilant. He discovered Houchi, and upon seeing Houchi for the first time, felt a bit stunned. Houchi did not want to get entangled with the two and left on her own, but Qingmu chased after Houchi.
With a long sword, he ruined Houchi's dress. Houchi did not have a good impression of Qingmu at all, she only accepted the immortal sword from Qingmu as compensation and left alone. Looking at Houchi's back, Qingmu paused on the spot. He discovered a bracelet on Houchi's hand that was identical to his own. Feng Ran came to attend the Donghua birthday banquet on behalf of Qingchi Palace. As soon as Ziyuan saw Feng Ran, he spoke mockingly. In the past, he had ambushed Feng Ran while she was fighting a great battle with Jingyang, and thus formed a grudge with Feng Ran.
