Ancient Love Poetry Episode 28 Recap
> Ancient Love Poetry Recap
Mu Guang carried Houchi out of the Sacred Hall. Feng Ran took Houchi away. Mu Guang went to visit Qingmu but found out that Jing Zhao had given her Dragon Core to Qingmu. Having lost her Dragon Core, Jing Zhao lost her spiritual power and was no different from a mortal. Mu Guang and Wu Huan severely reprimanded Jing Zhao. Jing Jian advised Jing Zhao to let Qingmu go, but Jing Zhao insisted that Qingmu must remember her until death.
Even if Qingmu married Houchi, with her Dragon Core inside Qingmu, Qingmu would surely remember her for a lifetime. Looking at the capricious and unreasonable Jing Zhao before him, Mu Guang was furious. Wu Huan knew that Jing Zhao was currently weak, so she decided to let Qingmu temporarily stay in the Heavenly Palace until they found a way to save Jing Zhao before allowing Qingmu to leave. The first thing Houchi did upon waking up was look for Qingmu.
Seeing Qingmu safe before her, Houchi finally felt relieved. Now, Houchi was the High God renowned throughout the Heavenly Palace. She detected that the Dragon's Breath on Qingmu's body had disappeared, and his spiritual power had increased slightly. This time, the two had gained from misfortune. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor acted in time, which saved their lives.
Because of the Heavenly Emperor's rescue, Qingmu decided to stay in the Heavenly Palace for a few more days to attend the birthday banquet. However, now that Houchi had absorbed the spiritual power of the Sacred Hall, he did not want Houchi to force herself to attend the banquet, but rather asked her to return to Qingchi Palace first and wait for him. Feng Ran came to see Jing Jian.
She only thought Jing Jian's words last night were a temporary measure to save her. Jing Jian was deeply in love with Feng Ran in his heart but still did not express his true feelings. Wu Huan was thinking about Houchi in the hall. Houchi's appearance resembled Shanggu, and she always felt that this matter was not simple.
Furthermore, she was not Houchi's biological mother; it was just that Mu Guang felt guilty towards Gujun back then, which was why he let her be the mother of that egg. Gujun was a Flood Dragon, so if Houchi was Gujun's daughter, there would be hope in saving Jing Zhao. Within Qingchi Palace, there was a forbidden area called Hua Jing Pond, which no one except Gujun could enter.
Wu Huan believed that the secret of Houchi's true biological mother must be hidden within it, so she sent Feng Nv to Qingchi Palace to investigate. Houchi and Qingmu became increasingly sweet and dependent on each other. If they didn't have each other in the three realms, even becoming a god would be meaningless to them. Qingmu temporarily stayed in the Heavenly Palace because of the Dragon Core matter.
He promised Jing Yang that if he could not return the Dragon Core by the Heavenly Empress's birthday, he would compensate with his lifetime of cultivation. Upon hearing this, Jing Jian just shook his head. The Golden Dragon Core could cure myriad poisons. Although Jing Zhao saved Qingmu, she also harmed him. Qingmu came to ask Donghua about the method to retrieve the Dragon Core. Only a True God could retrieve the Dragon Core.
Besides True Gods, there was only one risky method: Qingmu cultivates to become a god on the Qinglong Platform, replacing the Dragon Core, and then takes the Dragon Core out. Qingmu was still far from reaching the strength of becoming a god, and a slight mistake could scatter his soul. However, he had decided to take this risky method and try.
Donghua gave Qingmu a small yellow dog he had found on Wangshan Mountain, believing that Qingmu would surely turn misfortune into fortune this time. While playing chess with Feng Ran, Houchi was distracted. Only then did she learn from Feng Ran that Wu Huan had once managed the Sacred Hall back then, which was why the Heavenly Palace imitated the Sacred Hall everywhere.
Wu Huan must have known Shanggu, and Houchi had also seen Shanggu when she absorbed the spiritual power of the Sacred Hall; Shanggu had the same appearance as her. Earlier, Tianqi had said that there was a seal within her body and that if it was broken, she might no longer be herself. She always felt that things were not simple.
Afterwards, Houchi was about to pack her things to return to Qingchi Palace, but Jing Zhao came to see her. She clearly told Houchi that she had cured Qingmu's Dragon's Breath poison and that Qingmu would definitely marry her this time. Even if she couldn't have Qingmu, she would be a thorn in their hearts. Just then, Qingmu came to Houchi's side.
He stated to Jing Zhao once again that no matter what, he would not marry her and would only love Houchi in his entire life. Feng Nv went to investigate Hua Jing Pond and discovered it was a room. Inside the room was a portrait of Baixuan. However, Wu Huan did not know Baixuan's identity and only developed a murderous intent towards Houchi.
Within the Demon Realm, Tianqi learned that the incident at Yuanling Marsh involved Houchi and Qingmu, but Sen Jian had not reported it. He punished Sen Jian. Sen Jian worried that Tianqi would provoke the Heavenly Palace for Houchi. Tianqi, however, sneered, saying that back then he could abandon the beings of the three realms for Shanggu, and a mere Heavenly Palace was nothing to him. After punishing Sen Jian, Tianqi still sent Zihan to deliver a Purple Gold Pellet to Sen Jian. His trust in Sen Jian was evident.
