Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 9 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
Returning to Arbiter Hall, Xiao Lanhua felt a profound sadness, a lingering reluctance despite her earlier resolve to face solitude. Exhaustion soon overtook her, and she fell into a deep sleep. Dongfang Qingcang and Shangque quietly arrived. Noticing Xiao Lanhua's improved health, Shangque was eager for her to resume repairing the Destiny Books. However, Dongfang Qingcang, filled with concern, insisted she sleep well, then gently lifted her and carefully placed her onto the bed.
Overcome with worry, he placed a Bone Orchid, transformed from his own heart's blood, on her wrist, a protective talisman for when he is not by her side. Meanwhile, Changheng arrived in Haishi City. He presented a mysterious vial to Rong Hao, the Lord of Haishi City, asking if he recognized its contents. Rong Hao identified it as an evil spirit. Changheng pressed further, recounting recent incidents where Shuiyuntian fairies were harmed, and demanded an explanation.
Rong Hao claimed the evil spirit originated from a powerful, mysterious man who had trespassed and ravaged Haishi City. To prove it, he revealed a wound on his attendant Dieyi's back, which Changheng recognized as the mark of hellfire. Rong Hao confirmed that only Dongfang Qingcang, the Moon Supreme, could wield such power. As Changheng prepared to leave, Rong Hao added that the mysterious man had also taken a nameless orchid plant spirit from Shuiyuntian.
After Changheng's departure, Rong Hao explained to his subordinate that directly confronting the powerful Dongfang Qingcang was foolish, but an alliance with Changheng offered a strategic advantage. Xiao Lanhua awoke with a start, realizing she had overslept and was late for the Division Ceremony. Brushing off Shangque's suggestion to stay and fix the Destiny Books, Dongfang Qingcang allowed her to attend the ceremony she had anticipated for a thousand years.
As Xiao Lanhua rushed off, Changheng arrived at Arbiter Hall, intending to investigate, only to find Dongfang Qingcang waiting for him. Dongfang Qingcang deliberately lured Changheng into a fight in the woods, wanting to keep the battle away from Xiao Lanhua's cherished home. At the grand ceremony, Lord Yunzhong explained that fairies who passed the immortal examination would have their true forms verified by the Great Turtle, Xuanwu, before being assigned their posts. Many fairies underwent the process smoothly.
However, when it was Xiao Lanhua's turn, Xuanwu mysteriously addressed her as "an old friend" and then vanished, leaving her with the cryptic message that she was "special" and had a singular, unique fate to bear. Following Xuanwu's disappearance, the verification process for Xiao Lanhua failed, throwing the hall into an uproar.
After multiple attempts by other esteemed fairies yielded no results, Lord Yunzhong personally re-examined her and grimly announced that her true form was not an orchid, nor did it belong to any of Shuiyuntian's immortal systems. He declared that if she was neither immortal nor human, she must be from the Moon Tribe. Xiao Lanhua vehemently denied this, explaining that her master had brought her as an orchid seed from Yunmeng Lake.
Lord Yunzhong dismissed her pleas and ordered the guards to seize her. As the heavenly soldiers approached, a burst of hellfire erupted from Xiao Lanhua, repelling them. Recognizing Dongfang Qingcang's power, an enraged Lord Yunzhong seized Xiao Lanhua, demanding to know the Moon Supreme's whereabouts and accusing her of being a spy. At that moment, Dongfang Qingcang appeared in the hall, declaring, "You dare to touch my person?"
Upon seeing him, Xiao Lanhua tearfully realized his true identity, accusing him of deception. Dongfang Qingcang asserted he had never lied, reiterating that her life belonged to him and that he would ensure no one could harm her. He carefully set Xiao Lanhua down, conjured a powerful barrier to protect her, and placed the Bone Orchid back onto her wrist. His eyes filled with murderous intent, Dongfang Qingcang advanced on Lord Yunzhong, unleashing his hellfire.
Just as his rage threatened to consume the hall, Xiao Lanhua's faint plea, "No!" halted his destructive power. Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, Dongfang Qingcang calmly embraced Xiao Lanhua and carried her out. No one dared to intervene until Changheng appeared, demanding Dongfang Qingcang release Xiao Lanhua. Despite his valiant efforts, he was no match for the Moon Supreme.
Annoyed by the obstruction, Dongfang Qingcang threatened to engulf all of Shuiyuntian and Yunmeng Lake by using the Four Water Pearl to reverse the flow of the heavenly rivers. Torn between his duty to save his realm and his desire to rescue Xiao Lanhua, a distraught Changheng was forced to stay behind. Xiao Lanhua awoke at the Memory Loss River, the boundary between the two realms, and deduced Dongfang Qingcang was taking her to Cangyan Sea.
She tried to convince him to let her return, profusely apologizing for her past remarks. Dongfang Qingcang firmly rebuffed her, explaining that she was now deemed a traitor and would be killed if she went back. Crying, Xiao Lanhua insisted she was not a traitor and that Shuiyuntian was her home. Their journey was interrupted when Shangque reported that internal conflict had erupted in Cangyan Sea.
Highness Xunfeng, Dongfang Qingcang's brother who had become the new Moon Supreme, was losing a battle against the ambitious Kings of the Southern and Northern territories. With the enemy advancing, Dongfang Qingcang immediately ordered them to proceed to the battlefield, telling Xiao Lanhua to watch closely and see that he was not someone who could be defeated by the immortals.
