Demon Girl Episode 13 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
Thinking of being buried at the bottom of the pond, forever separated from Ming Xia, a golden tear flowed from Nie Qingcheng's eyes. As Jiang Xuewu wished, Nie Qingcheng finally awakened, her pupils glowing red, and golden claws emerging from her fingertips. Her powerful strength allowed Nie Qingcheng to easily break free from the ropes, spread her wings, and burst out of the water.
Jiang Xuewu and the director were also startled to see Nie Qingcheng burst from the water and hover in mid-air. At this moment, Nie Qingcheng was filled with rage. She swooped down from the air, forcefully twisted the director's neck, scaring Jiang Xuewu into repeatedly backing away. After killing the man, Nie Qingcheng's mind calmed down, and the anger in her heart turned into terror. Jiang Xuewu seized this opportunity, pulled out her pistol, and fired several shots.
Nie Qingcheng didn't want to get entangled further. After flapping her wings to deflect the bullets, she ascended into the sky and disappeared into the night. The frightened and restless Nie Qingcheng landed inside a secluded grotto entrance. After regaining her human form, Nie Qingcheng was soaked, lonely, and helpless. Only with the help of a kind person did she manage to change into clean clothes and rest for a night.
At dawn, just as Nie Qingcheng arrived at her doorstep, she saw Jiang Xuewu's car parked by the roadside. Jiang Xuewu had gained Nie Rufeng's trust but still couldn't find any news about Nie Qingcheng. Furthermore, there was indeed no trace of the Jiang family's unique poison at the Nie residence, so Jiang Xuewu was convinced that Nie Qingcheng had not returned home. Watching Jiang Xuewu drive away, Nie Qingcheng fell into deep thought.
Whether she went to her father or Ming Xia, she would be captured as long as she appeared in public. The only difference would be whether she was caught by Jiang Xuewu or by the police on suspicion of murder. Now, her only option was to leave Shanghai and find a place where no one knew her. As night fell, Nie Qingcheng arrived at Ming Xia's doorstep.
Looking at the light shining from the window, she wished so much to catch one last glimpse of Ming Xia. However, what she saw was Jiang Xuewu. Jiang Xuewu had anticipated Nie Qingcheng coming to the Ming residence and had been waiting outside for a long time. This time, Jiang Xuewu came prepared. Several well-trained hounds, under their owner's command, pursued Nie Qingcheng relentlessly. Nie Qingcheng ran desperately but couldn't shake off the shadowing hounds.
At this critical moment, Ming Xia, who had been searching for Nie Qingcheng on the streets, appeared on a motorcycle. Several gunshots scared off the fierce hounds. Ming Xia quickly left with Nie Qingcheng, causing Jiang Xuewu's capture plan to fail once again. After reaching a safe place, Ming Xia did not press Nie Qingcheng for the reasons behind these events. He believed that if Nie Qingcheng was unwilling to speak, there was naturally a valid reason.
At this moment, Ming Xia made an important decision in his life: to give up everything in Shanghai and go to another land with Nie Qingcheng. The next day, Nie Rufeng received a letter, only then realizing that Nie Qingcheng and Ming Xia had left Shanghai together. This letter was like another heavy burden added to his weary body. Nie Qingxin had fallen ill from missing Sheng Jiayu, acting delirious all day.
Now that Nie Qingcheng had left without a word, the entire family was shattered. Fang Yaqing was also struck by similar misfortune. She had been widowed young and hadn't remarried to care for her son. Without her son, she lost her spiritual anchor. When she thought of finding a man to rely on again, she discovered that Steward Zhang, who had been with her for many years, had been quietly caring for her behind the scenes.
But Jiang Xuewu had no intention of stopping there. To find someone in the vast Shanghai Bund, she thought of a person she had once rejected: Wang Shaoshang. Wang Shaoshang loved painting but became a lawyer under family pressure. With his network of informants, finding someone would not be difficult. Most valuable was that Shaoshang, unlike Young Master Zhou, did not take advantage of others' difficulties but sincerely helped Jiang Xuewu without expecting anything in return.
At this moment, a hint of guilt arose in Jiang Xuewu's heart, regretting her initial harshness and coldness towards Shaoshang. Ming Xia and Nie Qingcheng bought a small courtyard in a suburban town near Suzhou, naming it "Xia Cheng Courtyard". On the day they moved in, to entertain their enthusiastic neighbors, Nie Qingcheng served hotpot. This allowed the rice-loving southerners to experience the warm and comforting northern flavor during the coldest months of winter.
Their new life together was happy, but Nie Qingcheng's identity as a demon constantly weighed on her mind. Ming Xia, coming from a wealthy family, had no concept of money. To please Nie Qingcheng, he spent money like water, often spending more than they earned. To solve their financial problems, Ming Xia took over a storefront in the small town. Although surrounded by famous restaurants, he believed that with the unique flavor of northern hotpot, he could establish a unique presence, attract customers, and defeat the four major surrounding cuisines.
