Miss The Dragon Episode 11 Recap
> Miss The Dragon Recap
Liuying's second incarnation is born in Yuchi Town. Longyan, whose surname is Weichi, takes it as a sign of fate that she was born there, as "Yuchi" sounds like his own name. Despite a lingering injury, Longyan insists on staying close to her. To protect Liuying in this new life, Qing Qing suggests they disguise themselves as siblings and live in the village.
Longyan jokingly calls Qing Qing his "maid for a century," and when she suggests they live as a family, he mistakenly assumes she means marriage, an idea Qing Qing quickly corrects to "siblings." Eighteen years later, Xue Qianxun arrives in Yuchi Town. Qing Qing, seeing him, immediately assumes he intends to harm Ruan Ayu, Liuying's current incarnation. In her panic, she hastily uses the Three-Call Spell to summon Longyan.
Xue Qianxun is visibly annoyed by Qing Qing's casual use of the spell and their apparent closeness. He asserts his authority over her, calling her his "fugitive maid," and dismissively orders her to make him Silver Needle tea to get her out of the way. Longyan then confronts Xue Qianxun, questioning why he didn't tell Qing Qing that their combined efforts had mended the Sky Net, a repair that would hold for a century, making Ayu's soul unnecessary for now.
Xue Qianxun coolly replies that a century is fleeting, he never promised to give up on taking Ayu's soul, and he doesn't need to explain his actions to a maid. Observing his behavior, Longyan speculates that Xue Qianxun secretly harbors feelings for Qing Qing and came just to see her. Xue Qianxun denies this, claiming he only came to warn the "bird demon" to keep a low profile, as Heavenly Soldiers are hunting the Blood Devil.
When Longyan teases him about being jealous, Xue Qianxun dismisses the notion, stating he doesn't understand such emotions. The current incarnation of Liuying is Ruan Ayu, a kind, filial young woman who supports herself and her father, Ruan Yueshan, by selling fish. The town is abuzz with a royal decree concerning a severe drought: the Emperor dreamt of a goddess who brought rain and is now seeking her in the southeast to be conferred as a consort.
A haughty woman named Liu Yuxiang believes she is the prophesied goddess. Liu Yuxiang often clashes with Ruan Ayu and confronts her at the market, spreading malicious rumors that Ayu is a "jinx" who caused her mother's death, driving away customers. Ayu retaliates by splashing water on her, and as the situation escalates, a man named Zhiyong steps in to protect Ayu. Liu Yuxiang is instantly captivated by Zhiyong, but he only shows concern for Ayu.
That evening, after sharing a meal with her father, Ayu tends to a hand injury and falls asleep. Longyan then secretly appears by her bedside, gently covers her with a blanket, and watches over her. Yuchi Town is gripped by fear due to a series of gruesome murders where young girls' hearts are extracted. One day, Ruan Ayu and Qing Qing venture into a secluded area to pick flowers. A wolf demon suddenly appears and targets Ayu.
Qing Qing tries to use the Three-Call Spell, but a panicked Ayu pulls her away to flee. As the wolf demon pursues them, Qing Qing finally summons Longyan, whose spiritual form appears and repels the demon just as Zhiyong arrives and shoots it with an arrow. He rushes to Ayu's aid, and she, believing Zhiyong defeated the demon, expresses her gratitude. Witnessing their interaction, Longyan darkens with jealousy.
Qing Qing quickly steps in, claiming she was the one who stunned the demon to protect Longyan's secret. Despite Qing Qing's protests, Zhiyong insists on carrying the injured Ruan Ayu home. After giving Ayu a soothing pill, Qing Qing reports to Longyan, asking why he cannot openly protect Ayu. Longyan explains that Xue Qianxun had warned him against getting too close to her.
Qing Qing dismisses this as immortal prejudice and suggests that if Longyan cannot care for Ayu, perhaps Zhiyong should be allowed to, an idea Longyan vehemently rejects. Later, Ayu goes with Zhiyong to see a small wolf cub he caught, much to her father's mild disapproval and Longyan's clear frustration. While feeding animals in the mountains, Ruan Ayu stumbles upon a cave where the notorious Blood Devil has been hiding.
The Blood Devil knocks her unconscious, intending to extract her heart. Just then, an immortal named Ziyang arrives with Heavenly Soldiers, on a mission from the Heavenly Emperor to destroy the Blood Devil. Ziyang seals the cave with a powerful double barrier created by eighty-one Heavenly Soldiers and prepares to incinerate the demon inside. Qing Qing frantically realizes Ayu is trapped and pleads with Xue Qianxun to break the barrier.
Xue Qianxun explains that the barrier is unbreakable even for him and that Heaven would merely offer blessings as compensation for any mortal sacrifices. He also reveals a critical detail: Ruan Ayu's soul is unique and would be consumed along with the Blood Devil's in the fire. Determined to save her, Longyan declares he will break the barrier himself.
As the cave fills with fire, Longyan, unable to break the barrier, trespasses into the Flame Palace, the domain of the Fire King, and forcefully takes the sacred fire shield. He sends the shield into the inferno, protecting Ruan Ayu from the flames. This act enrages Ziyang, who sees it as obstructing a Heavenly mission. Ziyang strikes Longyan, severely wounding him. Despite his injury, Longyan steadfastly maintains the shield, while Qing Qing furiously berates Ziyang for the underhanded attack.
Once the Blood Devil is slain, Xue Qianxun intervenes, persuading Ziyang to stand down for his sake. Ziyang agrees, and the immortals depart. Longyan then carries the unconscious Ruan Ayu out of the burning cave. Afterward, a shaken Qing Qing apologizes to Xue Qianxun for her earlier rudeness, admitting she was just worried about Ayu. In a rare moment of understanding, Xue Qianxun acknowledges her concern.
