Love in Pavilion Episode 16 Recap
> Love in Pavilion Recap
Mu Mie had something on his mind. Cui Yu Ming Luan knew what troubled him and advised him to go traveling in the mountains and rivers instead of getting involved in the matters of Biluocheng and the Yiqi Alliance. Cui Yu Ming Luan asked Mu Mie whether he liked the blue-eyed version of her or the red-eyed one.
Mu Mie did not answer at the time, but his actions and later words made the red-eyed one feel that he liked the blue-eyed version more. Enraged, she left. The blue-eyed one tried to emerge, but was suppressed by the red-eyed one. They both liked Mu Mie, but the red-eyed one was more assertive and had grown increasingly extreme.
The blue-eyed one said that Mu Mie had said those things on purpose to drive her away, to protect her from getting involved. According to Mu Mie’s character, he would never abandon Yang Yitan. Even so, the red-eyed one would not listen and cast a spell to plunge the blue-eyed one into eternal slumber. Although the Golden Lotus magical artifact had been destroyed, Li Quzhuo from twenty years later could soon repair it.
However, he had no other solution for the demon aura within Huaizhu. Li Quzhuo speculated that the Jin Chenxi magical artifact must have contained the Huangquan clan’s Spirit-Summoning Umbrella, which could purify resentment and might also purify the demon aura inside Huaizhu. The top priority was to deal with Jiuhuo, the true source of all the chaos. Li Quzhuo had already sent people to fetch dragon blood, which was on its way.
Tomorrow's battle would be the final one, and Wangquan Hongye was determined to bring Huaizhu back. With no leech demons left, Jiuhuo chose to use the Huangquan clan’s people to repair Jin Chenxi. At midnight, Wangquan Hongye led Yang Yitan and the others in an attack. Despite their numbers, Jiuhuo's immense demon power kept the battle at a stalemate. Li Quzhuo threw out the dragon blood, but Jiuhuo seized it and smashed it to the ground.
Mu Mie and Cui Yu Ming Luan appeared in succession to buy time for Wangquan Hongye and his allies. Wangquan Hongye immediately launched another offensive, with assistance from Yang Yitan and Wangquan Zui. Ignoring his severe injuries, Mu Mie rejoined the battle and finally dealt a heavy blow to Jiuhuo. Cui Yu Ming Luan gathered the dragon blood from the ground.
The final battle broke out as a sword strike infused with everyone's magical power surged like a breaking bamboo toward Jiuhuo. Empowered by dragon blood, it greatly suppressed Jiuhuo’s formidable demon power and sent him flying. It seemed like Wangquan’s side had won—until Huaizhu appeared midway. She had been acting all along to make Wangquan believe that Dongfang Huaizhu still existed, urging him to help her defeat Jiuhuo. But the current Huaizhu was neither Jia Lan nor Dongfang Huaizhu.
She had developed a new personality and let Wangquan and Jiuhuo exhaust each other so she could reap the benefits. Huaizhu now possessed Jia Lan’s ability to command demons and fed on hatred, becoming increasingly powerful. She declared that she was who she was, the only mandrake flower on the Tree of Sorrow, not a substitute for anyone.
Wangquan Hongye, taking a desperate gamble, pulled Huaizhu into Jin Chenxi, determined that if they couldn’t live together, then they would die together. Inside Jin Chenxi, Wangquan saw the Spirit-Summoning Umbrella and recalled Li Quzhuo’s words, speculating that it might indeed purify the demon aura in Huaizhu. He then burned his own life force to fuel his sword and amplify the umbrella’s purifying power. The black demon aura on Huaizhu was gradually devoured by golden light and faded away.
The heartless, hatred-fueled Huaizhu vanished, and the true Dongfang Huaizhu finally returned. Wangquan Hongye exhausted his last breath and silently prayed that Dongfang Huaizhu would come back. Dongfang Huaizhu embraced Wangquan Hongye. He opened his eyes, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.
