Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 4 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
After a long and tiring day, Xiao Lanhua finally fell asleep. In her dream, she was abruptly woken and dragged outside while bound. She saw Dongfang Qingcang similarly tied, with a celestial immortal standing before them. The immortal turned, revealing himself to be Changheng, who declared Dongfang Qingcang a sinful immortal who had escaped prison and was to be executed. He then accused Xiao Lanhua of knowingly hiding him in the Arbiter Hall.
Despite Xiao Lanhua's pleas, Changheng expressed his disappointment and, as he raised his sword, she watched in terror as he brought it down on Dongfang Qingcang. Xiao Lanhua woke up screaming, and at the same moment, Dongfang Qingcang also jolted awake, acknowledging a long-lost feeling of fear. The next morning, Dongfang Qingcang went to wake Xiao Lanhua, but she was fast asleep.
He urged her to get up and repair the Destiny Book, but she sleepily told him that if he was bored, he should go count the flowers in her greenhouse and let her sleep. Suddenly, the Xilan Holy Seal on his forehead glowed, and he found himself uncontrollably drawn to the flower room, where he began meticulously counting flowers. Realizing the little flower spirit was somehow controlling his actions, Dongfang Qingcang was furious.
He summoned Shangque and demanded the Book of Xilan, which recorded the secrets of the Xilan clan. Upon reading it, Dongfang Qingcang discovered he was afflicted with the Heart Curse, which bound him to Xiao Lanhua, forcing him to share her joy, sorrow, life, and death. He realized that while his actions did not affect her, her feelings and commands would directly influence him, making her his greatest weakness.
Shangque reassured him that Xiao Lanhua seemed unaware of her lineage or the curse's power. Dongfang Qingcang resolved to have her fix the Destiny Book to find Chidi Woman's reincarnation, believing he could then break the curse and destroy the immortal realm. Xiao Lanhua was highly amused to learn that Dongfang Qingcang had actually counted all 8,452 flowers in her greenhouse because of her casual remark.
When he sternly told her that every word she said was important to him, she, unused to being taken so seriously, internally dismissed his intensity, thinking he was just trying to make conversation. When Dongfang Qingcang pressed her to fix the Destiny Book, she insisted on having breakfast first. He chastised her for her laziness, but she retorted that sleep and eating were essential for cultivation. During breakfast, Xiao Lanhua asked for Dongfang Qingcang's name.
Just as he said "Dongfang Qing—", she sneezed, mishearing it as "Dongfang Qiang." She began calling him Daqiang, to his silent frustration. She innocently warned him that "Dongfang" was an unlucky surname, explaining that the "dead big devil" Dongfang Qingcang was an evil, green-faced monster with fangs and terrible hygiene. Barely containing his rage, Dongfang Qingcang tried to scare her by detailing how the Moon Supreme enjoyed eating tender little fairies like her.
Later, Xiao Lanhua regaled the flower spirits with an embellished tale of the 30,000-year battle, depicting Dongfang Qingcang as bruised and begging for mercy. Dongfang Qingcang, who was listening nearby, angrily interrupted her. As they prepared for a festival celebrating the immortal victory over the Moon Tribe, Xiao Lanhua's joyous preparations starkly contrasted with Dongfang Qingcang's fury. While making pastries, he violently smashed a bowl. Oblivious, Xiao Lanhua patiently taught him to knead the dough.
She then shaped it into a monstrous caricature of Dongfang Qingcang and mimed how Chidi Woman’s Shuofeng sword had pierced the real Moon Supreme. Enraged, Dongfang Qingcang stopped her, correcting her that Chidi Woman had killed herself. He then revealed he had read her books and found a torn portrait, causing her to panic. His eyes flashed red, but he suppressed his anger, recalling the Heart Curse's restrictions.
Dongfang Qingcang monitored Xiao Lanhua as she tried to repair the Destiny Book, but after a day of effort, she collapsed from exhaustion. A subordinate informed Dongfang Qingcang that her power was severely depleted from her experiences in Haotian Tower and Haishi City, and she would need a long rest, possibly years, to recover. Frustrated, Dongfang Qingcang ordered Shangque to retrieve the heart-hidden hairpin to help break the curse, plotting his revenge.
Meanwhile, Changheng was diligently cultivating a rare Immortal Pill. He recalled a memory from 500 years ago when he was gravely injured and a young, unnamed flower spirit—Xiao Lanhua—had helped him. She had vowed to pass the immortal examination and enter his palace. Just as Changheng completed the pill, Yunzhongjun summoned him to an urgent meeting. A subordinate suggested that to expedite her recovery, Dongfang Qingcang should personally care for Xiao Lanhua. Reluctantly, he agreed.
Consulting a book on Xilan Grass, he learned its specific requirements: warmth, partial shade, and the first rays of morning sun. Most importantly, for its spiritual wisdom to awaken, it required "rootless water"—morning dew—applied daily. Dongfang Qingcang was appalled by the prospect of collecting dew drop by drop, but his desire to break the curse drove him. Xiao Lanhua woke to find him gone, celebrating his apparent departure with the other flower spirits, unaware of his new role as her unwilling caretaker.
