> Resúmenes de The Unclouded Soul
Teng She subjects Hong Ye to the torment of his true fire, trying to force him to abandon his feelings for Xiao Yao. Despite the agonizing heat, Hong Ye remains steadfast, declaring that no amount of suffering matters if he can see Xiao Yao again. Recognizing Hong Ye's resolve and knowing he cannot kill him without earning Xiao Yao’s hatred, Teng She eventually releases him, though he sternly warns the human never to betray her.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yao confronts Ao Hen and wounds him. Ao Hen remains defiant, confessing that his obsession stems from the day she healed his hand—the only time someone had shown him compassion in a thousand years of combat. He claims his actions are meant to eliminate anything that might harm her, but Xiao Yao rejects his interference.
As she prepares to strike him down, Teng She arrives with Hong Ye, causing Xiao Yao to retract her divine power and focus on tending to the injured human. When Xiao Yao tries to take Hong Ye back to the Dragon Palace to heal, he refuses. Realizing his weakness as a human, he vows to find the Yuli Spring so he can stand as an equal by her side.
Although Xiao Yao worries that the spring might disrupt the balance of the world, she is moved by his sincerity. Upon their parting, she gifts him a Dragon Bone Flute, promising that she will hear its sound and come to him from a thousand miles away if he ever needs her. However, Hong Ye returns to find his tribe massacred and his father, the Emperor, dead.
A survivor claims that the Ao Hen Clan descended from the sky and destroyed everything. Consumed by grief and a newfound sense of duty, Hong Ye ascends the throne and vows to secure a future for humanity at any cost. Desperate for strength, he appeals to the heavens and offers his own flesh and blood to receive divine power. An immortal answers, explaining that the Yuli Spring has not appeared because humans are too full of greed and lack sincerity.
The immortal grants Hong Ye power but declares that the spring will only reveal itself once he gathers the eight sacred pearls from the various demon tribes. Empowered, Hong Ye begins crafting divine talismans to protect humans from demons. When the State Preceptor captures a rare Deceptive Beast—a creature capable of shapeshifting and deception—they devise a plan to use it to sow discord among the demons.
Hong Ye follows this advice and begins his campaign by seizing the Earth Pearl from the Mountain Demon tribe. As other tribes, including the Bi Fang and Fox Clans, lose their sacred pearls and suffer casualties, the demon world falls into chaos. Leaders of the affected tribes flock to the Dragon Palace, accusing Ao Hen of these ruthless crimes and demanding a coalition to execute him. While most are convinced of his guilt, Xiao Yao remains skeptical.
She believes that while Ao Hen is ruthless, he has understood the benefits of proper cultivation since the solar eclipse and would not resort to such indiscriminate slaughter. Suspecting someone is stoking the flames of war, she promises the tribes she will uncover the truth and punish the real culprit. During this turmoil, Hong Ye visits Xiao Yao.
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of human life, he formally asks for her hand in marriage, offering a strand of his hair as a pledge. Xiao Yao accepts, and they set their wedding for the fifteenth day of the eighth month. The news causes an uproar in the Dragon Clan. Long Zhi and the elders argue that an Azure Dragon marrying a human violates all tradition, and Long Zhi even suspects Hong Ye is complicit in the recent unrest.
Only Long Yu speaks in her defense, reminding everyone of Xiao Yao’s selfless service and her help with Long Zhi’s own tribulation. Xiao Yao eventually silences the dissent by vowing to resolve the chaos in the demon world before the wedding day. To find the truth, Xiao Yao uses the Mist Pearl to track Ao Hen. She finds him at the Fajiu Mountain forest, drinking heavily with Teng She.
When Xiao Yao questions him, Ao Hen is insulted by her lack of trust. Teng She quickly intervenes, explaining that Ao Hen has been miserable and drinking by his side ever since Xiao Yao took Hong Ye away. Teng She reveals that Ao Hen even swore a solemn vow of loyalty to her, and since the sky remained clear without any divine retribution, his words were proven true. Realizing that Ao Hen has been framed, Xiao Yao asks both of them to join her in investigating the real mastermind behind the stolen pearls.
