Ancient Love Poetry Episode 22 Recap
> Ancient Love Poetry Recap
Qingmu and Houchi returned to the inn to rest. Houchi still felt some lingering fear thinking about the scene in Xuanjing Palace earlier, fortunate that Qingmu was safe and sound. Qingmu was fond of Houchi. Houchi felt a little awkward, experiencing romantic feelings for the first time. Qingmu knew that Houchi was currently focused on finding Baixuan.
He would not delay Houchi, but since he had spoken, from now on he would stick to Houchi like a plaster, and never let go. Feng Ran and her group came to see Houchi. Houchi was a little surprised that Feng Ran was with Jing Jian. Jing Jian was a true gentleman. Knowing the three of them had more to talk about, he sealed his divine consciousness so as not to disturb their reunion.
Houchi thanked Chang Qin for her help in Xuanjing Palace. Chang Qin greatly admired how Qingmu protected Houchi in Xuanjing Palace without hesitation, while she herself hadn't met the right person. Feng Ran knew Chang Qin was troubled by Sen Yu's matter, so she only mentioned that Xiao Li was severely punished by Sen Yu. She believed Chang Qin shouldn't be tied down in Xuanjing Palace by personal feelings.
She told Chang Qin to come to Qingchi Palace for a strong drink after she finished dealing with matters in the Triple Heavens, and they wouldn't go home until they were drunk. Chang Qin readily agreed. After Chang Qin left, Feng Ran told Houchi about the Taicang Sword appearing. Houchi believed this matter must be related to Baixuan. She prepared to go to Liaowang Mountain and not bring Qingmu.
Qingmu, who heard this in the room, walked out anxiously, wanting to go with Houchi. Seeing that Houchi was unwilling to bring him, he had no choice but to pull Jing Jian as his backing and ask Jing Jian to speak fairly. Jing Jian knew Feng Ran and Houchi were not easy to provoke, so he quickly pulled Qingmu away. After the two left, Feng Ran turned around with a serious expression.
She mentioned that the Fire Qilin had a violent temperament and once injured the Idle Goodness High Lord from under the Donghua Gate. She was worried about Houchi going alone, which was why she wanted Qingmu to accompany her. Houchi knew about Qingmu's sense of justice and kindness. She was afraid Qingmu would be in danger, which was why she was unwilling to let Qingmu go with her. While they were talking, there was movement from the door.
Feng Ran couldn't help but feel a bit helpless about Jing Jian and Qingmu eavesdropping. Jing Jian pulled Qingmu away. This time, Qingmu definitely owed him a favor, for him, the dignified Second Highness of the Heavenly Palace, to act in such a manner. Qingmu was unfazed by this, only mentioning the destiny between him and Houchi; he had long been fond of Houchi. Hearing this, Jing Jian decided to help Qingmu out.
With Feng Ran's persuasion from the side, Houchi finally relented and was willing to take Qingmu with her. Sen Jian came to see Tianqi. Back then, Bai Jue did not completely annihilate Tianqi; he left a wisp of divine soul for Tianqi and Zihan, which allowed Tianqi to survive. Tianqi resented Bai Jue's distrust from that year but could not tolerate anyone beside him slandering Bai Jue even a little.
Over the years, Wu Huan had resorted to many despicable acts to annex the Demon race, and Mu Guang had always colluded with Wu Huan. Tianqi always remembered the hatred of Wu Huan ambushing and killing Yuemi. He learned that the Heavenly Realm wanted to gather the four great divine artifacts to open the God Realm, so he first had Sen Jian agree to the Heavenly Realm's proposal for peace.
At that time, they would then send people from the Demon race to seize the Taicang Spear. Feng Ran and Jing Jian returned to the Heavenly Palace to see the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor helped the two of them unlock the God Binding Lock. He praised Jing Jian's achievements during his trip to the Demon Realm and also inquired about Houchi's current situation.
Qingchi Palace and the Heavenly Palace had always been at odds, so Feng Ran did not talk much about Houchi with the Heavenly Emperor. At the foot of Liaowang Mountain, Jing Zhao used a Feather Transformation Umbrella to deter the demons who were preparing to retrieve the Taicang Spear. She was arrogant and felt that the Taicang Spear belonged only to her. At the same time, Qingmu and Houchi, who had transformed into a child, also arrived at Liaowang Mountain.
Qingmu was originally going to meet Jing Zhao alone, but Jing Zhao was clearly interested in Qingmu. Houchi, feeling somewhat jealous, came out and called Qingmu "Daddy". Her sharp tongue provoked Jing Zhao's displeasure. Jing Zhao wanted Houchi to bow to her. Houchi curled the corner of her mouth and only respectfully bowed to Jing Zhao a few times. Houchi was a High God, and Jing Zhao was only an Immortal position, yet she dared to ask her to bow.
As Houchi bowed, the sky changed dramatically. She drew heavenly lightning towards Jing Zhao. Jing Zhao remembered the taste of the heavenly lightning from the last time at Liaowang Mountain, and only then did she realize that the person before her was Houchi. Houchi returned to her original form. Seeing that Jing Zhao wanted to attack Houchi, Qingmu firmly shielded Houchi in front of him. Just as Jing Zhao wanted to use the Feather Transformation Umbrella, the Heavenly Emperor appeared.
The Heavenly Emperor felt a bit dazed upon seeing Houchi; Houchi resembled Shanggu in appearance. However, before the Heavenly Emperor could think further, Houchi and Qingmu left first. Houchi and Qingmu arrived at the bamboo house. Houchi mentioned Jing Zhao's regard for Qingmu. Qingmu did not care about fame or status; he only wanted to protect Houchi well. Therefore, he wanted to know why Jing Zhao was so hostile towards Houchi. Houchi recalled her first meeting with Jing Zhao.
At that time, Jing Zhao bullied her because her spiritual power was low, threw her into the water, and verbally insulted her. Fortunately, Baixuan arrived in time, otherwise she would have been the first High God to drown. The Taicang Spear appeared. Houchi mistakenly thought Baixuan would be the Fire Qilin guarding the spear. She told Qingmu to make sure to protect the Fire Qilin well.
This time, seizing the spear did not distinguish between immortals and demons, so both the Immortal and Demon races were eager to try. Jing Zhao was the first to try, but she was deterred by the Fire Qilin. Tianqi and Zihan also watched everything at Liaowang Mountain from a distance. He recognized that the guarding Fire Qilin was not Hongri, but a wisp of Hongri's residual soul. Over there at Liaowang Mountain, Houchi recognized that the Fire Qilin was not Baixuan. However, the Fire Qilin looked towards Qingmu and brought Qingmu into the barrier.
