Miss The Dragon Episode 30 Recap
> Miss The Dragon Recap
Yuchi Longyan brought Qingyan back to Kunlun Mountains. Qingyan felt a peculiar sense of familiarity, asking Yuchi Longyan if they had met before. He confirmed that they had met a long time ago, though Qingyan couldn't remember it. As a parting gift, Yuchi Longyan gave her a lovely item. They then made a promise: when Qingyan turned eighteen, he would return to tell her their old story. Qingyan was thrilled by the prospect.
Upon her return, Priest Xuanyang sternly reprimanded Qingyan for leaving the mountain alone and causing concern among the disciples who had to search for her. Qingyan explained that she had encountered a demon but was saved by Yuchi Longyan. Priest Xuanyang, wary of strangers, questioned Yuchi Longyan's identity and warned Qingyan against associating with unknown individuals.
Recognizing Qingyan's restless spirit, Priest Xuanyang decreed that she must play the Mind-clearing Song for two hours daily until she could dispel distracting thoughts and abandon her playful ways. Eighteen years later, Qingyan had grown into a young woman, dedicated to exterminating demons alongside her fellow Kunlun disciples. One day, they encountered a cat demon and a human man, Mr. Xu, who were deeply in love.
The cat demon pleaded for their lives, asserting the sincerity of their bond, but a Kunlun disciple insisted that humans and demons were of different races and could not marry. Despite Qingyan's hesitation, observing their genuine affection, the disciples attacked. Mr. Xu bravely shielded the cat demon, declaring that he cared only that she was his wife, regardless of her nature. He was tragically killed.
Overcome with grief and rage, the cat demon vowed revenge, injuring a junior disciple (Qingwu) before exploding her own inner core, dying for love, and pleading to be buried alongside her husband. The disciples were astonished by her sacrifice. The Kunlun disciples, however, dismissed the cat demon's dying wish, asserting that a demon could not be buried with a human. That night, Qingyan found herself unable to sleep, disturbed by the thought of the cat demon's unfulfilled last wish.
She decided to return to the forest and bury the couple together. As she approached the tomb, the cat demon's sister appeared, intent on avenging her sister's death, and confronted Qingyan. Just then, Qingqing, a beautiful bird demon, intervened. Qingqing protected Qingyan, warning the enraged sister that harming a Kunlun disciple would bring severe retribution from the entire Kunlun Sect.
The cat demon's sister, upon seeing Qingyan up close, recognized her, remembering that Qingyan had helped her in her first life by healing her paw. Realizing Qingqing was preventing her from a fatal mistake, the sister eventually left. Qingyan thanked Qingqing, expressing her initial belief that all demons were malevolent, but admitting Qingqing had surprised her. Qingqing agreed, noting that like humans, all creatures possessed both good and evil aspects.
They decided to become secret good friends, understanding that Priest Xuanyang's teachings strictly condemned all demons. Together, they honored the cat demon's last wish, burying her beside Mr. Xu. To facilitate their secret friendship, Qingqing taught Qingyan the Three-call Spell, a simple invocation involving a hand gesture and calling Qingqing's name three times. Qingyan eagerly learned it, promising to summon Qingqing often. Later, Qingyan used the spell to find Qingqing, bringing her favorite osmanthus cakes to share.
As they enjoyed the cakes, unseen by them, Yuchi Longyan watched Qingyan from a distance, a smile playing on his lips. Qingqing quickly hid upon sensing Priest Xuanyang's approach. Soon after, Priest Xuanyang appeared, sensing a nearby dragon demon's presence, which was so strong that even his Dragon-slaying Sword reacted. He sternly warned Qingyan that her special soul made her a target for demons, especially dragon demons. He emphasized that dragons who remained in the human realm were inherently evil.
Each time Priest Xuanyang mentioned dragons, Qingyan felt a peculiar pain in her chest, a sensation she couldn't explain. Later, Qingyan shared osmanthus cakes with her Senior Brother Qingfeng, initiating a discussion about the nature of demons. She expressed her belief that like humans, demons also possess both good and evil aspects, a notion Qingfeng acknowledged as having some truth, though he still prioritized their master's teachings.
As Qingyan's eighteenth birthday approached, her Senior Sister thoughtfully prepared a peach-shaped cake for her. Qingyan, focused on her upcoming reunion with Yuchi Longyan, shared the cake with Qingqing. She also showed Qingqing a beautifully embroidered sachet she had made, asking if it was suitable for a man and if she should add small flowers. Qingqing immediately recognized it as a love token, teasing Qingyan about her intentions to give it to Yuchi.
Qingyan then brought up Priest Xuanyang's pronouncements about dragon demons, how those who didn't ascend were considered evil. She mentioned the recurring chest pain she experienced whenever dragons were discussed. Qingqing gently reassured her, countering Priest Xuanyang's strict views by asserting that not all dragons were cruel and that many were, in fact, good, which alleviated Qingyan's discomfort.
Meanwhile, Qingqing presented Xue Qianxun with her feather as a betrothal gift, explaining that while his Datura Weaver Ribbon was precious, her feather held even more value as it came directly from her body. Xue Qianxun, however, swiftly shifted the conversation to her cultivation progress, inquiring about her Heaven Secret Art practice. Qingqing internally lamented his timing, thinking him an unromantic "iron immortal," and briefly tried to distract him with sweetmeats.
Xue Qianxun, serious, explained that he insisted on her rigorous practice because bird demons had short lifespans, and he desired to be with her for thousands of years. He then earnestly proposed that she marry him once she achieved immortality. Overwhelmed and shy, Qingqing quickly fled. Xue Qianxun reflected that his memories of Qingqing felt different from their current interactions. Elsewhere, it was noted that Qingyan's eighteenth birthday was fast approaching, a highly anticipated event not only for the Dragon King but for others as well.
