> Resumos de The Unclouded Soul
Xiao Yao and Hong Ye continue their peaceful life together, finding simple joy in the kitchen. As they prepare a meal of noodles, Hong Ye is so impressed by the flavor that he vows to share the recipe with the human race once he returns. Xiao Yao is struck by a sense of deja vu, realizing that in this timeline, they are the original inventors of the dish.
To show her gratitude to the local villagers for providing ingredients, she uses her magic to create a bounty of pearls for them. While the villagers are overjoyed, Xiao Yao feels a deep sense of contentment. Meanwhile, the search for the celestial mountain remains fruitless. Long Zhi reports that they have scoured the islands but found no sign of the legendary spring.
Xiao Yao reassures her that a celestial mountain cannot be found easily and decides to seek clues from other clans. Soon after, Qiong Qi arrives at the Dragon Palace with a late birthday gift for Xiao Yao: a group of small, magical spirits he found on Mount Zhaoyao. Although he is slightly discouraged to find that Xiao Yao already recognizes them, she explains that these beings thrive in cold, dark groves and that the underwater environment is unsuitable for them.
Accompanied by Qiong Qi, Xiao Yao returns the spirits to Mount Zhaoyao and establishes a protective barrier to ensure they can thrive in peace. Back at the palace, Long Yu returns from a scouting mission severely injured by a pair of Bi Yi birds on a deserted island. While Long Zhi scolds him for his recklessness, Hong Ye steps forward to offer assistance.
Long Zhi is initially dismissive of a human's help, but she is surprised by the professional manner in which Hong Ye applies the ambergris. During the treatment, Hong Ye mentions the Yuli Spring on the celestial mountain, noting its waters can grant immortality to humans and significantly boost the cultivation of demons. This mention of power catches Long Yu’s interest, but Long Zhi, who is dreading her upcoming tribulation, loses her temper and leaves.
Hong Ye advises the young dragon that the best way to manage fear is to focus on the necessity of the task at hand. As Xiao Yao prepares to head out with Qiong Qi, the latter is annoyed that Hong Ye fails to kneel before the Dragon Lord, but Xiao Yao quickly dismisses the formality.
Before departing, she entrusts Hong Ye with the string of mermaid pearls she previously received from Ao Hen, strictly instructing him to keep them on his person for protection. She asks Long Yu and Long Zhi to look after him in her absence. Later, Long Yu takes Hong Ye flying through the sky to return him to the human realm.
Experiencing flight, Hong Ye realizes that Xiao Yao’s previous insistence on rowing a boat was merely a pretense to test him or spend time together. During their journey, Long Yu explains the significance of the Dragon Essence Pearl, a relic where dragons pray before facing their tribulations. Hong Ye observes that this practice is remarkably similar to how humans pray before their own deities. The journey is suddenly interrupted by a violent magical storm.
Long Yu struggles against the crashing waves and lightning, but when the chaos subsides, Hong Ye has vanished. Realizing that a powerful demon must have abducted him, Xiao Yao becomes frantic. She catches Teng She spying on her and demands help. Teng She brings out the Mist Pearl, a vine serpent clan treasure that can reveal the location of those one is thinking of.
Upon looking into the pearl, Xiao Yao sees Hong Ye at Mount Qingyuan, the territory of the Ao Hen Clan. Teng She questions why Xiao Yao cares so much for a "lowly human," but Xiao Yao firmly declares that Hong Ye is her chosen husband and she will not tolerate any harm coming to him. At Mount Qingyuan, Ao Hen reveals his deep-seated jealousy. He is insulted that Hong Ye is wearing the mermaid pearls he gave to Xiao Yao.
To break Hong Ye's spirit, Ao Hen rounds up a group of human captives. He demands that Hong Ye crawl on the ground and use his mouth to bring obsidian stones to his feet; for every stone brought, one human life will be spared. Despite the humiliation, Hong Ye kneels to save his people. However, Ao Hen remains ruthless and kills a captive anyway. Hong Ye, realizing that Ao Hen is motivated by envy, stands his ground.
He admits that he once felt unworthy of the noble Azure Dragon, but Xiao Yao’s genuine affection has proven he is the better man. He tells Ao Hen that while the demon only knows how to hurt the weak, Xiao Yao will remember Hong Ye forever even if he dies. Xiao Yao arrives at the cave, her fury palpable as she demands Hong Ye’s release.
Ao Hen finally confesses his long-standing, hidden love for her, explaining that he tried to become a better demon to be worthy of her. He expresses bitter disappointment that she would choose a human instead. While Xiao Yao confronts Ao Hen, Teng She finds Hong Ye. In a startling turn, Teng She claims that she also received a divine revelation identifying Hong Ye as her own destined husband.
To test his resolve, she subjects him to the Samadhi Yin Fire, a flame that causes agonizing pain to the body and heart. She promises to release him only if he vows never to see Xiao Yao again. Despite the searing torment, Hong Ye refuses to yield, declaring that any amount of suffering is worth the chance to see Xiao Yao again.
