Love Better Than Immortality Episode 30 Recap
> Love Better Than Immortality Recap
Chun Hua brushed Qiu Yue's hair, noticing his hairpin and feeling a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it before. Qiu Yue teased her, asking if she harbored thoughts of taking advantage of him, especially given his current injured state. Chun Hua playfully pointed the hairpin at his neck, suggesting she could kill him. Unfazed, Qiu Yue challenged her to consider if she would feel joy or reluctance if she were to do so.
When Chun Hua hesitated, unable to give a clear answer, Qiu Yue chuckled and declared he would make the decision for her, then took her hand and guided the hairpin towards his own neck. Chun Hua instantly pulled her hand away, exclaiming that he was mad. Qiu Yue then declared that Chun Hua's refusal to kill him proved her affection, and thus he was free to take advantage of her.
He also offered her warmth, noting the coldness of the wall. Without further protest, Chun Hua allowed him to kiss her, and they embraced sweetly. Meanwhile, Xiao Bai discussed his suspicions with Qin Liufeng that Chief Feng was responsible for Medical Sage's death. Xiao Bai expressed his doubt, given that Chief Feng and Medical Sage were equally skilled, making a one-move kill seem unlikely. He surmised that there must be something more sinister at play.
Therefore, he instructed Qin Liufeng to keep this matter confidential and not to disclose it, especially not to Feng Caicai, until they had uncovered the full truth. The next morning, Qiu Yue watched Chun Hua as she slept. When Chun Hua awoke, a smile initially graced her lips, but then her expression hardened, and she sat up with a sudden coldness. Qiu Yue confronted her, expressing his confusion as to why she was so distant after kissing and hugging him.
Chun Hua retorted, disliking his implication that she was the proactive one. Qiu Yue playfully asserted that she had seized the opportunity while he was injured because she liked him, and as a benefit for her affection, he would allow her to take advantage of him for a lifetime. Chun Hua dismissed his words as nonsense, denying any affection. She pondered his casual use of the word "lifetime," finding it too simple.
Qiu Yue remarked that Chun Hua's easily readable emotions reminded him of their first meeting. Chun Hua initially believed he was referring to the time he tricked her in the bamboo forest. Qiu Yue corrected her, revealing that their true first meeting was when she awoke in the Eight Immortals Medicine Hall.
He recounted how he had been watching her from a distance while Xiao Bai stormed in, and he had recognized at first sight that she was not Hua Xiaolei, who had previously died at the hall's gate, due to her unsophisticated expression. He revealed he had been wearing the same hairpin then.
Chun Hua, looking at the hairpin, suddenly understood that the blurry figure she had seen in her hazy awakening was Qiu Yue all along, making him the first person she truly saw. Overwhelmed by this realization and the thought that she had mistaken her Mr. Right for so long, she burst into tears. Qiu Yue, confused by her sudden distress, held her and gently apologized, taking the blame for her tears.
Chun Hua confided in Qiu Yue about a dream she had while in the Eight Immortals Medicine Hall, where she was told that the first man she saw upon waking would be her Mr. Right. She confessed that she had always believed that man was Xiao Bai. Qiu Yue reassured her, confirming the dream's accuracy and saying it was only her perception that was mistaken, adding that it was not too late now that she knew the truth.
He pledged to be good to her for the rest of his life. Later, Feng Caicai sought out Qin Liufeng to discuss Xiao Bai's recent unsettling behavior. She recounted how Xiao Bai had seemed abnormal when they visited Medical Sage's former residence, a place where he and Chun Hua had first met. Though she left him alone there, she was later attacked by masked men in the bamboo forest.
Xiao Bai had arrived just in time to save her, but to her astonishment, he used the final, powerful move of the Phoenix Cry Blade style, instantly killing all the assailants. Feng Caicai found this action uncharacteristic of Xiao Bai, who was normally thoughtful and righteous and would not kill without understanding the full truth.
She was also surprised that he had not mentioned the ambush to them, finding his silence perplexing even if he were to be missing Chun Hua. Furthermore, she observed that his blade style carried a heavy, almost evil aura, suggesting it was more than just an impulsive act driven by emotion. Qin Liufeng admitted he was unaware of the attack and found Xiao Bai's secrecy puzzling.
The next day, Qin Liufeng questioned Xiao Bai about the bamboo forest ambush, which Xiao Bai casually claimed he had forgotten to mention, attributing it to recent fatigue. They concluded that if someone was still actively trying to impede their investigation into Medical Sage's death, it lessened the likelihood of Chief Feng being the murderer.
To further their investigation into Medical Sage's death and the origins of the puppet silver needles, Xiao Bai, Qin Liufeng, Feng Caicai, and Miss Leng went to the Eight Immortals Mansion to find Medical Sage's brother, Mr. Bu Er. Qin Liufeng inquired if Mr. Bu Er could teach him the art of puppet manipulation, a forbidden technique involving silver needles that Medical Sage had once mentioned.
Mr. Bu Er asserted that he did not possess such a skill, explaining that his brother's comprehensive work detailing the puppet silver needle creation had been stolen nearly a year ago and was now being sold cheaply on the market. He also offered Qin Liufeng a humorous health diagnosis based on his "peach blossom eyes," advising him to be careful of "getting inflamed." As the group left, empty-handed, they encountered Li Yu, a disciple of the Eight Immortals Mansion.
Qin Liufeng expressed surprise that a disciple of Medical Sage was serving tea. Li Yu, acknowledging that Mr. Bu Er and Medical Sage were biological brothers with vastly different temperaments, complained that Mr. Bu Er was exceptionally stingy, unlike his benevolent brother. Li Yu quickly departed, fearing Mr. Bu Er's displeasure.
Recognizing that the puppet silver needles originated from Medical Sage and his medical skills were inherited by the Eight Immortals Mansion, Qin Liufeng suggested a thorough search of the mansion rather than solely focusing on Li Yu, reasoning that Li Yu's continued survival, despite the widespread aftermath of the immortality fruit auction, made him less suspicious.
Xiao Bai agreed, and the group then decided to split up: Qin Liufeng and Miss Leng would pursue clues related to puppets, while Xiao Bai and Feng Caicai would remain near the Eight Immortals Mansion to observe Mr. Bu Er. Later, Chun Hua observed that the light of her Icy Silkworm Beads had grown faint, realizing she hadn't exposed them to moonlight in a long time.
Qiu Yue, holding her hand, jokingly expressed jealousy over her affection for the beads, then promised to be good to her for the rest of his life. Chun Hua asked how he would prove it, looking into his eyes. Although she was happy to know he was her Mr. Right, a sudden worry crept into her mind. She realized that while the system had identified her Mr. Right, it had never guaranteed a good ending for them.
Her face clouded with concern. When Qiu Yue noticed her change in demeanor and asked what was wrong, Chun Hua quickly brushed off his concern and suggested they play a game of "Truth or Dare" instead.
