> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Despite her brothers having fallen at the hands of the War Demons, Xin Mei found she could not bring herself to kill Lu Qianqiao. As he walked away, she was left alone in a state of tearful conflict. Meanwhile, A Sheng left a farewell letter for Xin Mei at the inn and struck out on her own. While resting in a mountain hollow, she was plagued by nightmares of her seniors being devoured by the monstrous War Demons.
She was startled awake by the voices of Jiang Ji and Nangong Guhong from Lingji Mountain nearby. A group of disciples under Lin Muhan sought Jiang Ji’s help, reporting that their Young Sect Master had been captured by a man from Chongling Valley. However, Jiang Ji remained cold, stating her orders were solely to capture members of the Wushuang Society in Phoenix City. She dismissed Lin Muhan’s capture as a result of his own incompetence.
Shortly after, A Sheng was discovered hiding nearby, and Jiang Ji immediately gave chase. In Beixiang City, Lu Qianqiao kept Lin Muhan as a hostage, not to harm him, but to ensure the safety of his companions from the immortal sects. While stopping to eat, Lu Qianqiao’s condition suddenly deteriorated. Lin Muhan realized the date was July 15th, the Ghost Festival, a day when Lu Qianqiao suffered from a recurring Bloodthirst.
This time, the affliction was more violent than ever before. Staggering through the streets, Lu Qianqiao was haunted by a vision of his mother. She urged him to give in to his instincts and feast on human blood, comparing it to the natural order of a cat catching a mouse. Lu Qianqiao fought against the dark urge with his willpower until Chu Ying arrived and knocked him unconscious to stop the episode.
Elsewhere, Jiang Ji and Nangong Guhong cornered A Sheng. Though Jiang Ji had advanced to the Golden Core Stage, A Sheng fought back fiercely. As more disciples arrived, A Sheng attempted to flee but was struck through the chest by Jiang Ji’s sword. Jin Lun later joined the pair and was deeply troubled to hear they had killed her.
Despite Jiang Ji's belief that no one could survive such a wound in the sands, Jin Lun searched the desert until he found a dying A Sheng. Lu Qianqiao regained consciousness later that evening. Chu Ying advised him to rest, but Lu was preoccupied with the mysterious Xia Xuanzi and the potential retaliation for the death of Dharma King Wenyin. Seeking answers the next day, they consulted the gambler Sha Sanxing.
Sha revealed that years ago, a handsome young cultivator with a red mole between his eyebrows—matching Xia Xuanzi's description—had paid a woman to bear him a son. The woman died after childbirth, but her close friend, a dancer named Yaoniang, might know more. They tracked Yaoniang to Tianxiang Restaurant, but the situation there was chaotic. Xin Mei, who had fainted outside the city, had been picked up by the establishment’s owner, Madam Wu.
After waking up and overpowering her guards, Xin Mei encountered the real Yaoniang eloping with her lover. Seizing the opportunity, Xin Mei donned a mask to hide her face, only to be mistaken for Yaoniang by the restaurant staff. Lu Qianqiao and Chu Ying arrived at the restaurant but were unfamiliar with the customs. They accidentally spent a fortune on a dancer named Yuniang while trying to find Yaoniang.
Seeing Lu Qianqiao throwing money at another woman, a jealous Xin Mei sat with them to drink, her identity still hidden by her mask. When it came time for the main performance, Xin Mei was forced onto the stage to perform the Luanxue Dance. Despite the mask, Chu Ying and Lu Qianqiao recognized her familiar figure and movements the moment she began to dance.
