Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 7 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
An instant before Ying Zhao lunged, Xiao Lanhua instinctively shielded her head, but the anticipated attack never came. Opening her eyes, she saw Dongfang Qingcang, who menacingly advanced with his sword, intent on slaying Ying Zhao. Xiao Lanhua quickly took his sword, then knelt to heal the injured beast before taking it into her fairy pearl for safekeeping.
As Dieyi secretly approached, Dongfang Qingcang sensed her presence and, with a swift gesture, caused her to transform into a butterfly and flee. Concerned by Xiao Lanhua's emotional nature, Dongfang Qingcang proposed removing her emotional roots entirely to prevent her from taking such risks in the future. Xiao Lanhua vehemently disagreed, arguing that a life without emotion is a disability, like a tree without leaves or a bird without wings.
She asserted that their shared compassion was what allowed the fairies to unite and survive the attack. The conversation stirred a painful memory in Dongfang Qingcang of being trapped in flames, completely alone. Noticing his distant expression, Xiao Lanhua gently patted his shoulder, assuring him that despite any past darkness, the world still held good people. Her words were interrupted by a distant call for "Orchid!" Recognizing it as Lord Changheng, Xiao Lanhua urgently told Dongfang Qingcang to leave.
He vanished just moments before Changheng arrived, who was relieved to find her unharmed. Xiao Lanhua reported the incident to the assembled celestials, but Lord Liyuan remained skeptical and pressed her for details. Changheng subtly defended her, and Lord Rong Hao skillfully deflected Liyuan's harsh inquiries. The conversation then shifted to the "evil spirit" found on Ying Zhao, a malevolent energy capable of possessing souls.
Lord Liyuan noted that this spirit, unseen for hundreds of thousands of years, had suddenly appeared in Shuiyuntian. He confirmed that he had ordered the Spirit Lock Gate sealed, trapping whoever was responsible within Yujing. Shortly after, Xiao Lanhua was overjoyed to learn she had placed first in the immortal examination. Her joy was short-lived, however, as she began to fear Dongfang Qingcang was responsible for the Ying Zhao incident.
She confronted him, but he adamantly denied resorting to such "dirty tricks." Convinced by what she had heard about the evil spirit's link to the Moon Tribe, Xiao Lanhua, compelled by their Heart Curse, tried to drag him to Changheng to confess. To stop her, Dongfang Qingcang was forced to explain that his only reason for being in Shuyu Forest was to secretly help her pass the exam.
The revelation convinced her of his innocence and made her fear for his capture. Despite the explanation, Xiao Lanhua was troubled by the fact she had won by cheating. She resolved to cancel her results, unwilling to accept a dishonest victory. When Dongfang Qingcang asked if she still wanted him to return to Haotian Tower, she admitted her feelings were conflicted.
Using an analogy, she explained that just as one grows accustomed to bitter medicine until they taste candy, she had grown used to his companionship after a long solitude and now feared the loneliness that would return if he left. Dongfang Qingcang, however, struggled to comprehend her complex feelings. Meanwhile, Dongfang Qingcang discussed the incident with Shangque.
He connected the evil spirit from Shuyu Forest to a previous incident in Haishi City, deducing that the attacks were orchestrated by the same force and that Xiao Lanhua was the true target, likely because she had seen the secrets within the Chidi Woman's fate ledger. He surmised the mysterious master of Haishi City must be the one who hid the Chidi Woman's primordial spirit.
In Liufang Pavilion, Rong Hao was visited by an assassin disguised as his deceased master, the Chidi Woman. Seeing through the ruse, he coldly killed the imposter. He had also brought back the injured Dieyi, and after noticing traces of Hellfire on her, he realized Dongfang Qingcang was the "mysterious man" who had overpowered her in Haishi City. His suspicions aroused, Rong Hao went to inspect Haotian Tower.
He theorized that the fairy who fell into the tower—Xiao Lanhua—must have somehow reassembled Dongfang Qingcang's scattered primordial spirit, allowing him to escape. He deduced that only the legendary Goddess of Xishan possessed this ability, and his suspicion about Xiao Lanhua's true identity began to form. Later, Xiao Lanhua encountered Danyin, who was now grateful and no longer antagonistic after being saved. When Xiao Lanhua stated her intention to cancel her exam results, Changheng intervened.
He assured her that her bravery and kindness during the attack made her first-place honor well-deserved and, as the examiner, his decision was final. Xiao Lanhua then tried to return Changheng's Firefly Stone, but it had already imprinted on her as its new master. Rong Hao approached Xiao Lanhua, asking for her help. He presented her with a withered Ice Jade, a plant with strong vitality, and asked if she could revive it.
As a flower spirit, Xiao Lanhua took the plant and effortlessly brought it back to life. Feigning gratitude, Rong Hao internally confirmed his suspicion: she was the Goddess of Xishan, the only one capable of such life-giving power. As Xiao Lanhua departed, Rong Hao watched her with a faint smile. He reflected that since his master's death, the three realms had brought him nothing but endless suffering.
Believing his pain was nothing compared to his master's, he reaffirmed his long-held decision to overturn the heavens and earth, if necessary, to bring her back, whispering that they would soon be reunited.
