Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 10 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
Riding a powerful black dragon through the sea of clouds, Dongfang Qingcang carried Xiao Lanhua to his realm. Unfamiliar with such travel, she initially clung to him in fear but soon grew bold enough to enjoy the view. Upon arriving at Cangyan Sea, the Moon Tribe soldiers knelt in reverence for Dongfang Qingcang. However, his younger brother, Xun Feng, the acting leader, refused to bow, glaring with resentment. Only under Dongfang Qingcang's intimidating gaze did Xun Feng reluctantly submit.
Dongfang Qingcang ignored him and declared his return, met with thunderous cheers from his people. Feeling awkward, Xiao Lanhua knelt as well. Meanwhile, in Shuiyuntian, Changheng accepted full responsibility for Dongfang Qingcang's escape before Yun Zhongjun. He requested permission to lead an army to Cangyan Sea, but Yun Zhongjun questioned whether his motive was to defeat an enemy or to save someone, forbidding any action without a direct command.
When Shang Que escorted Xiao Lanhua to the "Devouring Immortal House," she panicked, recalling Dongfang Qingcang's earlier threats. Shang Que reassured her that the name, along with others like the Immortal Slaying Pavilion, was merely symbolic of the previous Moon Supreme's ambition to conquer Shuiyuntian. In Silent Moon Palace, Dongfang Qingcang discovered from the Xilan Holy Book that the Heart Curse could be broken if one of the two was killed with the ancient Chengying sword.
Though the sword was destroyed, Shang Que knew the location of a fragment and departed at once to retrieve it. Later, Moon Tribe healers fussed over Xiao Lanhua, speculating that Dongfang Qingcang must be smitten to use such precious elixirs on a seemingly ordinary flower spirit. Dongfang Qingcang appeared and dismissed them. As he turned to leave, Xiao Lanhua boldly declared that while he may have captured her body, he could not win her heart, as she loved someone else.
Annoyed that she still harbored feelings for Changheng, Dongfang Qingcang scoffed, stating he had no feelings for her. He cruelly explained that his previous kindness was an involuntary side effect of the Heart Curse, and that acts like taking her to see the sunrise were "disgusting" to him. He declared her a fugitive from Shuiyuntian and a spy for the Moon Tribe, trapped with him until she repaired the Destiny Book.
In the main hall, Xun Feng presented the sacred You jade ring. When told to approach, he hesitated, his mind filled with hatred for Dongfang Qingcang, who had killed their father. In a fit of rage, Xun Feng let the box containing the ring fall. Unfazed, Dongfang Qingcang picked up the ring and put it on. Shang Que later noted Xun Feng's disrespect and reported that Xiao Lanhua was refusing medicine and complaining of homesickness, which might hinder her work.
Hearing it was her "first time away from home," Dongfang Qingcang cryptically ordered Shang Que to find the best craftsmen in the palace. Elsewhere, a frustrated Rong Hao learned that the former God of War's Destiny Book was not in the Arbiter Hall. He worried Dongfang Qingcang might have seen it and noticed the Hellfire scars on Chi Ling, which would reveal she is the reincarnation of his master.
If Dongfang Qingcang realized her primordial spirit survived, he would try to extract it to power his army, which would destroy her completely. Having worked for 30,000 years to save her, Rong Hao ordered his spies in the Moon Tribe to confirm what Dongfang Qingcang knew. One day, Xiao Lanhua tried to escape using pollen to disable the guards but was stopped by Shang Que, who led her to a dark, dungeon-like place.
She followed reluctantly, but with a snap of Dongfang Qingcang's fingers, the area was illuminated, revealing a perfect replica of her Arbiter Hall. Overjoyed, she believed she was home, but Dongfang Qingcang coldly clarified it was just a copy. When she pleaded to be released, he asked if she would have helped him if she had known his true identity from the start. Her silence was a clear answer, filling him with a mix of loss and anger.
He reminded her she was a fugitive, and now, with the You jade ring shielding him from the curse's emotional influence, he no longer had to endure her feelings. He reiterated that his past kindness was false and confined her to the replica hall until the Destiny Book was fixed. In the following days, Xiao Lanhua was tormented by constant storms she attributed to Dongfang Qingcang's foul mood. Desperate, she faked a severe illness, refusing all food and treatment.
She claimed to be on her deathbed with something important to say to Dongfang Qingcang alone. When he arrived, he berated her for her recklessness, reminding her that her life was his until the book was mended. When he demanded to know what she wanted, she asked to speak outside. He refused, ordering her to speak up.
