Demon Girl Episode 14 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
Ming Xia was very confident in his hot pot restaurant, openly challenging the head chefs of the four major cuisines from the surrounding restaurants on the street. The chefs looked down on the hot pot presented by Ming Xia, each showcasing their signature dishes, hoping to win first place in the competition and greatly promote their own restaurants. Unexpectedly, after tasting all the dishes, the judges awarded first place to Ming Xia.
In fact, Ming Xia had used a clever trick; hot pot could be prepared very quickly. When the judges first ate the spicy and oily hot pot, their mouths were already unable to taste other flavors. No matter how delicious the dishes served afterwards were, they tasted bland. Through this lively promotion, Ming Xia's hot pot restaurant prospered, making a fortune every day.
However, every time Ming Xia, now with a financial foundation, proposed to Nie Qingcheng, she would find various excuses to avoid him, which made him feel bewildered. After the hot pot restaurant opened, business boomed. The two had a clear division of labor: Ming Xia was responsible for the restaurant's operations, and Nie Qingcheng was in charge of purchasing ingredients.
One day, while Nie Qingcheng was buying groceries, she unexpectedly encountered Sheng Jiayu, who had drifted to Suzhou; he had become much thinner. A medical record that fell from Jiayu showed that he had a terminal illness and only a few months left to live. Only then did Nie Qingcheng realize that Jiayu's feigned change of heart was merely an act, intended to make Nie Qingxin forget their relationship. Before leaving, Jiayu took out a pair of pearl earrings.
Nie Qingxin had once loved these earrings but couldn't afford them. Now Jiayu had bought them with his remaining money, hoping that Nie Qingcheng could give them to Nie Qingxin when she found someone she loved again. However, what Jiayu believed to be the right way only pushed Nie Qingxin into a more dangerous situation. Wang Shaoshang didn't expect Nie Qingcheng to flee to Suzhou, and several days of searching yielded no results.
Jiang Xuewu then set her sights on Nie Qingxin. At this time, Nie Qingxin had lost her mind, often believing herself to be Sheng Jiayu. Exploiting Nie Qingxin's infatuation, Jiang Xuewu easily lured her to the hospital's underground laboratory. Under the pretext of being able to transform her into Sheng Jiayu, Jiang Xuewu performed various experiments on Nie Qingxin, just as she had done with Nie Qingcheng previously.
However, the experimental results greatly disappointed Jiang Xuewu; Nie Qingxin did not show any signs of transforming into a demon, nor did her body possess the demonic constitution. Although Nie Qingxin was not a demon, she still held value for Jiang Xuewu. Jiang Xuewu held a press conference, announcing that she would perform the first sex-change operation, with Nie Qingxin as the subject. Soon, this shocking news reached Suzhou.
Knowing full well that this was Jiang Xuewu's scheme to lure them into a trap, Nie Qingcheng and Ming Xia still resolutely returned to Shanghai. The two disguised themselves as reporters and infiltrated Jiren Hospital, but they were still discovered by the sharp-eyed Jiang Xuewu. So Jiang Xuewu turned their plan against them; while reporters from various news agencies were snooping around the hospital, she drove Nie Qingxin, who looked dazed, away through the back door.
Nie Qingcheng knew Nie Qingxin must have been taken to the Jiang family's old residence. She ran all the way, at such a speed that even Ming Xia couldn't catch up. When she arrived at the main gate of the Jiang family's old residence, Jiang Xuewu had just taken Nie Qingxin inside. Nie Qingcheng climbed over the wall, pulled down the power switch, and taking advantage of the darkness, knocked down Jiang Xuewu, grabbed Nie Qingxin, and ran.
Jiang Xuewu pulled out a pistol and chased closely, trapping Nie Qingcheng and Nie Qingxin in a second-floor room with no escape. Nie Qingcheng saw her sister foolishly calling Jiayu's name, and took out the pearl earrings from her pocket. Seeing the earrings, Nie Qingxin's soul seemed to return to her body. Hearing that Jiayu had left because of a terminal illness, she didn't know whether to feel sorrow or joy.
Holding the earrings and thinking of Jiayu's face, the dazed Nie Qingxin fell from the window, landing in the kennel where hunting dogs were kept. In a panic, Nie Qingcheng pushed away Jiang Xuewu, who was blocking the room door, and rushed downstairs. But the kennel was tightly enclosed by iron fences, and Nie Qingcheng watched helplessly as her sister screamed and was torn apart by the hunting dogs, powerless to save her. Jiang Xuewu looked down from upstairs at the frightened and helpless Nie sisters, letting out a maniacal laugh.
