Snow Eagle Lord Episode 34 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
As the wedding day approached, Xue Ruoshuang sought out DongBo Xueying to reveal the truth. She explained that the Ancient Bloodline is the most powerful force in the mortal world, capable of intimidating even divine power due to the existence of the world's will. Yu Jingqiu had recently awakened her divine bloodline and restored her divine consciousness, which meant she could no longer remain in the human realm without becoming increasingly weak.
Furthermore, DongBo Xueying's Ancient Bloodline would accelerate her decline, leading to her eventual demise. Around the same time, Pu Yangbo arrived on behalf of DongBo Xueying to deliver the betrothal gifts. The list included numerous rare and valuable items, such as energy crystals, cultivation books, and magical tools. Among them was the legendary Quanshu, a mythical creature said to represent passionate love and unparalleled devotion, having only one partner in its lifetime.
Yu Jingqiu presented DongBo Xueying with a collection of paintings she had created, illustrating moments of their relationship from their first meeting to falling in love. Hearing about the Quanshu's nature, she asked DongBo Xueying to release it, feeling sorry for the creature that would be left behind. Later, DongBo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu spent time together, playing a dice game where the loser had to drink and answer a truth question.
Though burdened by unspoken concerns, DongBo Xueying cherished the precious moments they shared. Early the next morning, Yu Jingqiu dressed in her wedding attire. To her surprise, Xue Ruoshuang appeared and offered her blessings, expressing support for the marriage. Before leaving, Yu Jingqiu knelt and bowed to Xue Ruoshuang, expressing her gratitude for the care she had received. DongBo Xueying arrived to greet her, picking her up and carrying her to the ship.
Joined by Kong Youyue and Pu Yangbo, they traveled towards Xueying Territory. Yu Jingqiu wanted to take in the sights of the Dragon Mountain Empire and Xueying Territory, the place where DongBo Xueying grew up. Upon arriving at Snow Stone Fort, they were greeted by DongBo Qingshi and Uncle Zong, and firecrackers were set off to celebrate. The wedding ceremony commenced with bows to heaven and earth, to the spirit tablets of their parents, and finally to each other.
However, as Yu Jingqiu prepared to drink the ceremonial wine, she noticed something was wrong. The wine contained the spiritual liquid of the Soul Separation Kun Fish, which would cause scale-colored spots and turn to blood if left in the cup for a short while, inducing a deep sleep upon consumption. Initially, Yu Jingqiu intended to warn DongBo Xueying and investigate, but she observed the somber expressions of everyone present and noticed that DongBo Xueying's wine appeared normal.
The realization struck her: this was intentional. DongBo Xueying, steeling himself for the difficult task of ensuring Yu Jingqiu's return to the Moxue Empire, hardened his heart and lied, claiming his affection and their marriage were merely a means to obtain her divine bloodline to save his mother and the Dragon Mountain Empire. Believing his cruel fabrication, Yu Jingqiu was heartbroken. In her anguish, she seized a dagger and cut her wrist, offering him the divine bloodline he supposedly desired.
Declaring their ties severed forever, she then collapsed into unconsciousness as the energy in her body flowed in reverse. According to a prearranged plan, Xue Ruoshuang, as the Spirit Hairpin of the Moxue Empire, would use DongBo Xueying's Ancient Bloodline and heart blood as a primer to reopen the Demon Well and send Yu Jingqiu back to the Moxue Empire. Ao Lan, leading demon soldiers, intervened, attempting to stop them.
Fortunately, Chi Qiubai arrived in time to repel the demon forces and drew Ao Lan away, ensuring DongBo Xueying could successfully send Yu Jingqiu through the Demon Well. After this event, DongBo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu were separated, their reunion uncertain. Chi Qiubai led Ao Lan to a secluded area, where Ao Lan successfully retrieved demonic energy from him, hinting at a prior arrangement between them.
Chi Qiubai then returned to the Demon Well, his heart heavy as he saw DongBo Xueying standing alone before it, a solitary and dejected figure. In truth, DongBo Xueying had contacted his close friends before the wedding, explaining the gravity of Yu Jingqiu's situation and the plan to save her. They had all pledged their full support, asking only that he not regret his decision. Following Yu Jingqiu's departure, DongBo Xueying secluded himself in his room for many days.
Wu Cang remarked that the suffering caused by love in the mortal world was far more intense than the hardships of cultivation. Unsure how to console DongBo Xueying, Wu Cang suggested that the best way to forget someone is to begin a new relationship. This comment drew the attention of everyone present towards Zhuo Yi, much to DongBo Qingshi's exasperation, who told them to stop meddling. Eventually, DongBo Xueying emerged from his room, appearing noticeably better.
He declared that Yu Jingqiu would always be his only wife, and that regardless of whether they were in the Dragon Mountain Empire or the Heavenly Palace, she alone occupied his heart. Having come to terms with things, DongBo Xueying stated that the immediate priority was to identify and expose the traitor within the Xia Clan. DongBo Xueying brought Situ Hong before Sikong Yang and Ye Mei to report on the Demon Clan's spiritual liquid.
He presented a spirit stone, explaining the liquid inside could make cultivators lose their minds and obey the Demon Clan, and accused Situ Hong of using it to harm Yu Jingqiu during a recent battle. Situ Hong vehemently denied being involved with the Demon Clan, claiming he had given the spirit stone to Yu Jingqiu out of kindness when she was injured.
He stated other disciples also used the liquid from stones he provided and recovered, suggesting his actions were benevolent. Defending his admiration for Yu Jingqiu, he asserted he would never harm her and claimed the spirit stones he possessed were purchased from Kong's Weapon Workshop. Kong Youyue angrily refuted this, stating her family's workshop would never sell demonic items and accusing Situ Hong of slander. Ye Mei intervened, stating that a single spirit stone was insufficient evidence to prove Situ Hong's connection to the Demon Clan, allowing him to escape suspicion for the time being.
