Love Never Fails Episode 17 Recap
> Love Never Fails Recap
Hongning got a token from Baileng and found a room over here, not expecting that everyone was bathing inside. The place was filled with steam from medicinal herbs, which was beneficial for cultivation. Hongning was about to leave when she heard the voice of Ningmeng Jing and was overjoyed. Ningmeng Jing asked why Hongning had come, and she said that after he was taken away, she had been very worried and came looking for him.
Ningmeng Jing said he was deeply moved that Hongning had come to find him. Hongning asked what had really happened. Ningmeng Jing explained that after Baileng brought him here, the people here heard he was willing to cultivate, so they let him stay—it would help him cultivate, and he could also give massages to the senior brothers. Ningmeng Jing reminded her that she was a girl—what if someone found out? Hongning replied that there was still something she hadn’t done.
She wanted to know if Jinxiu was the deity who had saved her. A disciple informed Jinxiu that someone was causing a disturbance outside. Jinxiu led people out, and outside were Hongning’s parents, who had come with others and demanded that she be handed over. Hongning’s father saw Jinxiu and recognized him as their benefactor. Jinxiu confirmed that Hongning was indeed there and brought her parents inside. Hongning came in and was surprised to see her parents.
She said she shouldn’t have left without explaining clearly. Her mother urged her to return quickly, but her father said she had done nothing wrong, since she had left to save someone. Hongning said she still had unfinished matters here and asked her parents to return first—she would go back soon. Baileng was shocked to find out that Hongning was a girl. Jinxiu called Hongning over, and she admitted that she was female. The junior brothers were all very surprised.
Ningmeng Jing explained that Hongning had done all this for him. She thought he had been captured by Cangwu Mountain, and since this place didn’t accept female disciples, she had disguised herself as a man to get in. Baileng said maybe it was partly his fault, but that was because they had taken his original body, and Ningmeng Jing had splashed such sour lemon water into his eyes.
Ningmeng Jing said it was because Lu Jiu had been guarding the village entrance—the villagers all thought people from Cangwu Mountain were bad. Lu Jiu said it had nothing to do with him. Some felt that the rules should not be broken, but others believed Hongning was a good person and shouldn’t be driven away just because of a rule. Jinxiu let everyone debate.
Hongning shared her view, saying that Cangwu Mountain and Xuyun Temple had originally been one; it was only because male and female disciples couldn’t live together that they separated. Everyone was surprised to hear that. In the end, the ones who opposed had nothing more to say. Jinxiu said since everyone had agreed, they would break the rule starting today. Jinxiu called Hongning over.
He had prepared a set of women’s clothing for her, so she wouldn’t have to disguise herself anymore. Hongning said she actually had no interest in cultivating immortality. She stayed here only to find the deity who had saved her. Jinxiu remarked that she still had no interest in cultivation. Hongning said she wanted to remain in the mortal world because it was lively and warm. Hongning wanted to know if that person was Jinxiu.
Jinxiu asked, so what if it was—did she want to marry him to repay the favor? Hongning replied she just wanted to say thank you face-to-face. She was about to leave when Baileng arrived and said that Lu Jiu had gone missing. He had been blaming himself for not watching Hongning properly. Hongning and Baileng went to search and found fox blood, but the trail of blood broke off on the way.
A rabbit demon ran out and said there was a monster, but died after only a few words. Hongning thought that if even a demon feared this monster, it must be very powerful. Daoist Master Dongxuan came over and asked how she knew it was a rabbit demon. Hongning said she had been able to tell since childhood. Daoist Master Dongxuan suggested they continue the search tomorrow. Baileng agreed, saying if they went in now, they’d just be throwing their lives away. He would write a letter to Master.
