Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 33 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
The process of stripping the primordial spirit was excruciating, but to Dongfang Qingcang, as long as it could bring Orchid back to life, the pain was nothing. With the help of Lord Changheng, a wisp of Orchid’s primordial spirit was finally extracted.
Though it was only a tiny orchid seed, Dongfang Qingcang treated it like a treasure, keeping it close at all times, watering it with the first drop of morning dew, and tending to every inch of it with care. Days passed, and the orchid finally sprouted leaves. Orchid awoke in an illusion and saw the Black Tortoise. This time, she was no longer entangled in questions of her identity, because she remembered everything.
Now, she was not Orchid, but the Goddess of Xishan, the one who protected all living beings. Perhaps in response to the Goddess’s summons, the flowers of Xishan flocked to the orchid in clusters. Dongfang Qingcang, who was outside gathering dew, noticed something unusual and hurried back. When he returned to the cabin, he saw that Orchid had come back. But as he rushed forward to reunite, Orchid pushed him away with a palm strike.
Dongfang Qingcang thought she was still angry with him and quickly apologized. But Orchid seemed not to recognize him at all, claiming instead to be the Goddess of Xishan. Dongfang Qingcang was heartbroken, but then he thought, maybe this wasn’t such a bad thing. He had hurt Orchid deeply before, and if she had truly forgotten all that pain, perhaps it was the will of the heavens. Dongfang Qingcang decided to court her all over again.
Without hesitation, he built an Arbiter Hall in Xishan and invited the Goddess to visit. Learning that the Goddess of Xishan liked the Arbiter Hall, Dongfang Qingcang respectfully invited her to stay. Now that Xishan was in ruins, he said that their mistaken meeting could be seen as fate and proactively offered to serve as her immortal attendant. The Goddess turned and asked for his name. Dongfang Qingcang told her he was called Da Qiang, a humble immortal from Shuiyuntian.
Hearing this, Shang Que couldn't help but snicker. But the Goddess sensed that Dongfang Qingcang lacked the aura of an immortal and knew he wasn’t from Shuiyuntian. Still, Xishan never engaged in disputes, and tribes meant nothing to her, so she agreed. Thus, Dongfang Qingcang successfully became the Goddess’s immortal attendant. Every day, he tried various methods to restore her immortal root, just like when he was in the Arbiter Hall of Shuiyuntian. But the Goddess was ultimately not Orchid.
She didn’t like sweets, didn’t get excited about honey, and even stopped eating altogether. Dongfang Qingcang was disheartened but refused to give up. He eagerly went to her side, offering to read and meditate with her. But the Goddess said she preferred peace and quiet and disliked being disturbed. Dongfang Qingcang still refused to leave and brought a cushion to sit beside her. The Goddess, helpless, went to water flowers in the greenhouse.
Dongfang Qingcang followed, trying to win her over. Yet the Goddess remained unmoved and even found him annoying. Suddenly, Dongfang Qingcang remembered how happy Orchid had been when he once took her to see the sunrise. So at dawn, he went to find the Goddess. But to his surprise, she had already returned from her morning meditation and was nothing like the lazy Orchid who lingered in bed. Dongfang Qingcang was overcome with sorrow—perhaps the Goddess truly wasn’t Orchid.
At that moment, Lord Changheng also arrived. Upon learning that Orchid had been revived, he was overjoyed, but when he saw the Goddess, he understood Dongfang Qingcang’s grief. Though he was betrothed to the Goddess, what he loved was Orchid—lively, sweet Orchid. Like Dongfang Qingcang, he hoped for Orchid’s return.
