Love Better Than Immortality Episode 11 Recap
> Love Better Than Immortality Recap
Qin Liufeng voiced suspicion that Shangguan Qiuyue might be behind the reappearance of the immortality fruit's clue at the Hua family's home in Yetan City. However, Master Hua dismissed the idea, asserting that his son, Hua Que, would not dare to act behind his back. Before Xiao Bai departed the Hua residence, he expressed gratitude to "Brother Hua," actually Shangguan Qiuyue in disguise, for his apparent sincerity.
Shangguan Qiuyue, fearing Chunhua might follow Xiao Bai, preemptively suggested that Xiao Bai take Chunhua with him, feigning support for their romance. Knowing Xiao Bai's upright character, Shangguan Qiuyue anticipated he would refuse to elope without Master Hua's explicit consent. As expected, Xiao Bai firmly declined, stating he would never act improperly without Master Hua's approval. Chunhua, disappointed, reluctantly claimed she was merely seeing Xiao Bai off to ensure her actions remained within propriety.
Upon Xiao Bai's departure, Master Hua confronted Shangguan Qiuyue, pressing him about the whereabouts of his real son, Hua Que, and demanding to know why Xiao Bai had unexpectedly returned for the immortality fruit. Shangguan Qiuyue cryptically implied that he could ensure Xiao Bai never returned, but it would come at a price, leading Master Hua to question his true identity.
Later, Xiao Bai, accompanied by Qin Liufeng and Chunhua, used a portrait of the individual masquerading as Hua Que to inquire about him. They were informed by a delivery person that the man in the painting was not Hua Que, confirming their suspicions. Recognizing the danger, Xiao Bai dispatched Qin Liufeng back to the inn to avoid alerting the impostor, while he and Chunhua rushed back to the Hua residence.
Upon their return, they found Chief Leng and his subordinates had seized the entire household, demanding the immortality fruit under threat of violence. Shangguan Qiuyue, still disguised as Hua Que, feigned terror and urged Master Hua to surrender the fruit. Xiao Bai burst in, attempting to stop Chief Leng, who claimed his actions were for Leader Xiao's benefit.
To escalate the conflict, Shangguan Qiuyue then declared that the immortality fruit was with Master Hua, forcing Master Hua to publicly expose the impostor's true identity by vehemently denying that he was his son. Shangguan Qiuyue, undeterred, twisted the narrative, accusing Master Hua of disowning his son for the sake of the fruit. At this crucial moment, Fu Lou appeared, reveling in the unfolding drama and addressing Shangguan Qiuyue as "Cave Chief Shangguan."
With his identity revealed, Shangguan Qiuyue abandoned his disguise, revealing his true self in a striking white attire. He then seized Chunhua and swiftly departed. Xiao Bai pursued Shangguan Qiuyue to a bamboo forest, where a fierce battle ensued. As their blades clashed, Chunhua rushed forward and shielded Xiao Bai, pleading with Shangguan Qiuyue not to harm him. Shangguan Qiuyue narrowly halted his attack, avoiding injury to Chunhua. Xiao Bai then cleaved through Shangguan Qiuyue's sword energy, forcing his retreat.
Though unharmed, Chunhua was visibly startled by how close Xiao Bai's blade came to her. Assuring her he never acts without certainty, Xiao Bai expressed disappointment in her lack of trust. Meanwhile, back at the Hua residence, Chief Leng and Fu Lou were locked in a desperate struggle. Chief Feng arrived to assist Chief Leng, but both were outmatched by Fu Lou.
Master Hua cried out that the situation was a demon's trap, but in a brutal turn, Chief Leng killed him before fleeing with Chief Feng. Driven by his relentless pursuit of the immortality fruit, Fu Lou then mercilessly slaughtered every remaining member of the Hua family. Xiao Bai returned to the devastated residence with Chunhua, witnessing the horrific aftermath. Overwhelmed with self-reproach, Xiao Bai felt immense guilt.
Chunhua, equally shocked, expressed profound sorrow for Hua Xiaolei's tragic fate, lamenting her pitiful circumstances. Both Qin Liufeng and Xiao Bai mistook Chunhua's distress for personal grief, and Xiao Bai, determined to offer her solace and protection, assured Chunhua that Fengming Manor would henceforth be her home.
He vowed to personally kill Shangguan Qiuyue, whom he now saw as a deceptive "well-groomed young man" who secretly committed heinous crimes, to avenge the Hua family and his father, whose name had been implicated by Chief Leng. On their journey, Qin Liufeng analyzed Shangguan Qiuyue's actions, suggesting his true objective was less about the immortality fruit and more about getting close to Chunhua, even hinting at a possible connection between her and the evil sect.
Xiao Bai, quick to defend her, was playfully teased by Qin Liufeng, who then clarified his concern: Shangguan Qiuyue might exploit their engagement to threaten Xiao Bai. Upon arriving at Fengming Manor, Xiao Bai reported the Hua family's extermination to his father, Leader Xiao, exposing Shangguan Qiuyue's deception. Leader Xiao ordered the impostor's portrait to be distributed among all martial arts sects.
He then inquired about the marriage agreement, and Xiao Bai declared his intention to grant Chunhua an honorable status within the manor. However, Leader Xiao advised him to seek Chunhua's consent, especially since she had lost her memory. Later, Shangguan Qiuyue sought out Chunhua, who confronted him with anger, blaming him for the Hua family's demise.
He attempted to console her, attributing the killings to Fu Lou and professing that she was his "only family," but she remained cold, and he departed dejectedly. Chunhua later found a pair of Icy Silkworm Beads he had left behind. Shortly after, Xiao Bai approached Chunhua to discuss her future, but a misunderstanding arose, with Chunhua believing he was trying to dismiss her. Before he could clarify, Qin Liufeng intervened and pulled Xiao Bai away.
Exasperated by Xiao Bai's romantic ineptitude, Qin Liufeng, declaring himself "Mr. Romance," advised him to directly present a betrothal letter. Qin Liufeng delivered the letter to Chunhua, who, trying to appear modest, claimed the proposal was too sudden and required consideration. When Qin Liufeng feigned misunderstanding and threatened to retract the offer, a startled Chunhua quickly snatched the letter back. Amused, Qin Liufeng said he would report her acceptance, to which Chunhua boldly demanded a "very romantic" proposal ceremony.
Later that night, Chunhua admired the letter, briefly wondering if Xiao Bai's proposal stemmed from responsibility rather than genuine affection. She then went to Xiao Bai's private bathing pool, where Shangguan Qiuyue materialized. His demeanor darkened as he produced the betrothal letter, reminding her of her promise to steal a mental cultivation method and warning that if she failed within three days, he would either kill her or take her back to Thousand Moon Cave.
Shortly after, Xiao Bai came to Chunhua and presented her with the Xiao family's secret mental cultivation method, explaining that Fengming Manor leaders traditionally pass it to their wives as a testament to unwavering loyalty. He then revealed that this act was his unique proposal ceremony, leaving Chunhua stunned that he would so easily entrust her with such a vital secret.
