Demon Girl Episode 18 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
Shao Shang distracted Ming Xia from the front door, and Jiang Xuewu drove out from the back door. Nie Qingcheng, in the back seat, had her hands tied behind her back and a towel stuffed in her mouth, powerless to resist. Once the car reached the French Concession, Jiang Xuewu would be able to confidently display Nie Qingcheng to the world, proving the existence of demons, without worrying about interference from the police station.
But she only thought of human interference and forgot that demons would also rescue their companions. You Tong suddenly appeared in front of the car and stopped it with one hand. Jiang Xuewu knew she was no match for You Tong and fled in a hurry. How could Nie Qingcheng let go of the murderer of her sister? She and You Tong pursued Jiang Xuewu relentlessly.
Jiang Xuewu, in her panic, crashed into a speeding tram, fell to the ground, spat blood, and lost all signs of life. You Tong learned Nie Qingcheng's identity and was overjoyed, expressing his love once more. This time, Nie Qingcheng did not feel repulsed as before; instead, she pondered repeatedly whether Ming Xia was truly suitable. Perhaps You Tong was right; since she and Ming Xia had been together, too many misfortunes had occurred.
This was probably because humans and demons were meant to walk different paths and could not force a relationship. Meanwhile, Ming Xia was heartbroken and unable to accept the reality of Nie Qingcheng turning into ashes. He still wandered aimlessly in the wilderness, searching everywhere, hoping for a miracle from heaven's mercy. A miracle truly happened; Nie Qingcheng came to his side, and You Tong arrived with her.
Ming Xia excitedly ran to embrace Nie Qingcheng, but she gently pushed him away. Nie Qingcheng was there to say goodbye, to never see each other again, and to each begin a new life. Ming Xia had always doted on Nie Qingcheng and never gone against her wishes, and today was no exception. Each farewell word spoken by Ming Xia pierced his heart. There comes a time when all words are spoken, and one must face eternal separation.
You Tong held Nie Qingcheng's hand and returned to the Hua Family Manor. Hua Yuetong had left, and You Tong became the owner here. All the demons in Shanghai gathered in the conservatory to pay homage to the new King of All Demons. You Tong was triumphant at this moment and planned to hold a grand wedding that Nie Qingcheng would never forget.
While You Tong was preparing for the wedding, Jiang Xuewu woke up on a sofa in the demon-hunting organization. The scene of her being hit by a car on the street was entirely directed by Duan Shaoqian; the one hit was just a puppet he controlled. A dummy had deceived the eyes of everyone present, including Nie Qingcheng and You Tong.
With such methods possessed by the demon-hunting organization, Jiang Xuewu was thoroughly convinced and willing to join the organization to learn demon-hunting methods. The demon-hunting organization established a school in a hidden location, specifically to educate those aspiring to eliminate demons on the methods of demon hunting. The school was built by a general, who made this decision after being attacked by a demon.
The school had remained undisclosed for over ten years since its establishment, to avoid causing public panic. Jiang Xuewu's purpose here was to train to be faster and stronger than demons. Learning at the demon-hunting school was not simple; one not only had to endure hardships but also constantly be wary of those around them. The school's educational motto was to never disdain deception in war, and to use any means to achieve one's goal.
Within days of enrolling, Jiang Xuewu was set up by other classmates and confined to the solitary confinement room. In the confinement room, Jiang Xuewu met Hao Meili, who was confined in the same room. Hao Meili was originally a reporter. Over a year ago, she heard about this school and secretly came to enroll, hoping to get firsthand information. However, she was obese, and many training subjects did not meet the standards, so being confined became commonplace for her.
In this past year, Hao Meili's only achievement was obtaining the key to the school's main gate. Jiang Xuewu already had many complaints about the school and decided to escape with Hao Meili that very night. The escape did not go smoothly; they were quickly discovered. Jiang Xuewu held the main gate key, and seeing the people behind her getting closer, she realized that even if she unlocked the gate, she wouldn't be able to escape far.
The school's education played a role at this moment; to ensure her own safety, Jiang Xuewu hid the key, pointed at Hao Meili, and shouted that someone was escaping. Jiang Xuewu narrowly managed to slip through, while Hao Meili was injected with drugs to erase all her memories. People without memories, even if released, would not reveal the secrets of this place. During this period, You Tong tried his best to please Nie Qingcheng.
But he could see the sadness in Nie Qingcheng's heart; there would always be a Ming Xia in her heart. You Tong couldn't understand how to enter Nie Qingcheng's heart; all he could do was make her happy. He ordered all the demons in Shanghai to search for Nie Rufeng's whereabouts. Soon, news arrived that Nie Rufeng was with a flower girl. You Tong took Nie Qingcheng to the rooftop of a small villa.
Looking down, Nie Qingcheng saw her father happily living with the flower girl. But her mother had passed away more than ten years ago, and this flower girl was only seven or eight years old, so she could definitely not be the reincarnation of Ying Die. However, seeing her father so happy, how could Nie Qingcheng bear to tell him the truth?
You Tong hoped Nie Qingcheng would understand that true happiness was the most important thing, and not to pretend to be happy out of consideration for others' feelings. If Nie Qingcheng was unwilling to marry, You Tong would never force her. If Nie Qingcheng was willing to forget Ming Xia, You Tong was also willing to wait. Nie Qingcheng thought that in due time, she would be able to forget Ming Xia.
But the closer the wedding date came, the more she missed Ming Xia. Every little moment she had spent with Ming Xia lingered in her mind, refusing to leave. As the wedding was about to begin, Nie Qingcheng finally couldn't help but spread her wings and fly into the Xia family's courtyard. She stood among the high treetops, watching Ming Xia sighing below the tree. Ming Xia, disheartened and lonely, passed the time by making magical perfumes.
Only when he was focused on blending perfumes would Nie Qingcheng's image not appear in his mind. These perfumes were all made for Nie Qingcheng. Ming Xia opened all the perfume bottles, hoping that the fragrance wafting in the air would be carried by the wind to Nie Qingcheng's side. Ming Xia succeeded. Not far away, Nie Qingcheng deeply inhaled the fragrance in the air, reveling in it. And Ming Xia, inadvertently, saw Nie Qingcheng's figure in the reflection of the water basin.
