Miss The Dragon Episode 29 Recap
> Miss The Dragon Recap
Following Qing Qing's refusal to let him suffer to remove her meteor scar, Xue Qianxun sought a different way to show his devotion. He visited the Immortal of Fate to find a precious item as a love token for her. The Immortal of Fate, surprised by Xue Qianxun's visit, initially believed he was just looking around. However, after being pressed, Xue Qianxun admitted he was indeed seeking a treasure.
The Immortal of Fate presented a treasure brochure featuring ancient weapons like the Supreme Sword and Garuda’s Bone, which Xue Qianxun dismissed as too destructive. He also rejected the Eternity Jade Brush, reasoning that Qing Qing would not like it as she only used an eyebrow pencil. Teasing Xue Qianxun about looking for a gift for a girl, the Immortal of Fate then unveiled a newly found treasure: the Datura Weaver Ribbon.
He described it as a magnificent item woven by the Weaver Fairy herself, soft and delicate, capable of concealing any scar, and possessing a calming fragrance. Despite the Immortal of Fate claiming it was useless to Xue Qianxun, Xue Qianxun insisted on exchanging for it, acknowledging the "exchange one treasure for another" rule. Shortly after, Qing Qing arrived at Luofeng Pavilion looking for Xue Qianxun to discuss a gift for Chenyue.
Finding him absent, she noticed a beautifully packaged box on his table. Initially, she found the ribbon inside, with its patterns and yellow color, quite old-fashioned and ugly, questioning why the elegantly dressed Xue Qianxun would choose such an unattractive item for a girl. However, realizing she was the only girl close to him, she wondered if it was for her.
Xue Qianxun then appeared, not intending to reveal the gift so soon, but seeing her interest, he presented it, declaring it his love token for her. Qing Qing was overjoyed, expressing surprise that he would think to give her such a gift, jokingly lamenting its color but quickly adding that she was the prettiest bird in the three realms. He asked her to close her eyes, and upon opening them, her meteor scar had vanished.
Amazed by the ribbon’s magical properties, she asked if it was valuable. Xue Qianxun simply replied it was "accidentally obtained." However, the Immortal of Fate, who seemed to have followed Xue Qianxun, revealed that Xue Qianxun had exchanged the Ribbon for an Immortal-trapping Net, an item he had personally crafted over three hundred years, extremely taxing on his spiritual power. The Immortal of Fate even offered Xue Qianxun jars of Three Pearl Leaf Tea to compensate for his great loss.
Qing Qing, undeterred by the cost or the "accidental" claim, thanked Xue Qianxun, affirming she loved anything he gave her. Overjoyed, she then kissed him and, before he could react, playfully hurried off to help Chenyue prepare for her wedding, leaving Xue Qianxun momentarily stunned. To formalize their union, Chenyue cut a lock of her hair and presented it to Longyan as a betrothal token. Longyan and Chenyue then prepared for their wedding at the Dragon Pool.
With the Star Halo as proof and the Dragon Pool as a dowry, Longyan asked Chenyue to marry him and never leave him, to which she tearfully agreed, stating she had nothing to give but herself, which was all Longyan desired. She pledged to be with him now and forever. Soon, Qing Qing arrived with the Immortal of Rain and the palace guards to offer their congratulations.
The Immortal of Rain inquired if the Star Halo had satisfied them, and the guards jokingly remarked that Longyan would no longer need to break into the palace. Qing Qing enthusiastically suggested they follow human wedding customs, complete with a red wedding dress, cross-cupped wine, and bowing to heaven and earth, to make the ceremony more meaningful. Longyan revealed he had prepared a splendid, multi-layered wedding robe a century ago.
Chenyue confirmed her identity as Liuying, and Longyan explained that while she was indeed Liuying, her current life of a military general meant she might prefer this specific style of dress. As a wedding gift, the Immortal of Rain presented a small Karma Stone.
He clarified it wasn't the original Karma Stone but a popular replica crafted from the spiritual energy around the real stone, combined with Lethe Ice and pottery clay, meant to allow couples to carve their names for an eternal and unforgettable bond. Longyan and Chenyue carved their names, and the stone transformed into two beautiful bracelets, symbolizing their eternal union. As they prepared to drink the cross-cupped wine, Xue Qianxun and the Immortal of Fate intervened.
The Immortal of Fate stopped Longyan, asserting that their true wedding day lay in the future. He explained that Chenyue, being a Yin Soul born from the world, would not endure without human experience. While Longyan intended to protect her soul indefinitely with his power, the Immortal of Fate warned that as a Yin Soul, she remained vulnerable to demonic coveting, and Longyan could not protect her every second.
He proposed that Chenyue reincarnate into the human world to learn the arts of immortality. With Longyan's assistance, she could ascend to immortality in a human body, enabling them to be together openly and eternally. Despite Longyan's reluctance to part, Chenyue agreed to the Immortal of Fate's suggestion. She firmly stated her desire not to be eternally reliant on Longyan or become a burden to him.
Instead, she wished to face all challenges with him and, once fully capable, marry him openly. As she prepared for reincarnation, she asked if she would completely forget him. Longyan promised to find her immediately and protect her, assuring her that he would personally oversee her drinking of the Lethe Tea this time, a promise Xue Qianxun also affirmed he would ensure.
Chenyue then asked Longyan to remind her of their promise should she forget in her next life, to which he vowed to firmly keep her by his side. In her next life, Chenyue reincarnated as Qingyan, a child apprentice at Kunlun Mountain. Priest Xuanyang was instructing his new disciples on Kunlun's sect rules, emphasizing the importance of respecting masters, punishing evil, praising good, enforcing justice, and killing demons.
However, Qingyan, still a child, questioned his absolute stance, asking about kind demons and the possibility of peaceful coexistence. She even cited the example of the domesticated dark swallows who deliver messages to the Queen Mother of the West. Priest Xuanyang sternly maintained that all demons were inherently evil and sought to exploit the human realm, insisting that all Kunlun disciples must eradicate any demon they encounter.
When Qingyan confessed she still didn't understand, Priest Xuanyang sent her to stand as punishment at the mountain gate. Longyan, who had been secretly watching over her, wished to approach, but Qing Qing stopped him, explaining that any closer interaction would result in stricter surveillance over Qingyan, making future clandestine visits impossible. Qing Qing also pointed out that Qingyan seemed to be enjoying her punishment, playing happily alone. Priest Xuanyang later detected the dragon demon's aura approaching Kunlun Mountain.
He sent disciples to reinforce the protective barrier he had established, expressing concern that the Yin Soul, if exploited by demons, could grant them an additional hundred thousand years of spiritual power. This was his reason for bringing Qingyan to Kunlun – to prevent her Yin Soul from falling into the wrong hands. Though unsure if the dragon demon was specifically after Qingyan, he acknowledged the increasing proximity of its aura.
He explained that while the Yin Soul could easily dissipate, it was difficult to extract, requiring extensive cultivation to purify it. Since Qingyan was still young, he believed there was no immediate threat, but he warned that he would not hesitate to use his Dragon-slaying Sword if the dragon demon made any rash moves. Meanwhile, the Immortal of Fate sought to comfort a disheartened Longyan.
He acknowledged the difficulty of waiting when the end seemed distant but urged patience for "another dozen years." He explained that Longyan's potent dragon breath would impede Qingyan's soul development, which currently required the spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain for nourishment. Once Qingyan reached the Foundation Phase at eighteen, she would be unaffected by his dragon breath, and with the aid of elixir, she could achieve immortality.
Later, Qingyan, who had secretly followed her senior sister down the mountain, eagerly expressed a desire to visit the city market. Her sister clarified her mission was to investigate recent demonic activities. The senior sister instructed Qingyan to wait patiently outside the inn while she gathered information, warning her not to wander off. Despite her sister's command, Qingyan was irresistibly drawn to the enticing aroma of roasted chestnuts.
The street vendor, a demon in disguise, lured her closer with a small dragon tassel, asking if she wanted it. As Qingyan approached, the demon revealed his sinister intent, stating that her unique soul, if consumed, would greatly enhance his powers. Just as the demon lunged for her, Longyan swiftly intervened, saving young Qingyan from danger.
