Sword and Fairy 1 Episode 40 (Ending) Recap
> Sword and Fairy 1 Recap
Zhao Ling'er returned to Nanzhao. The people followed her, praying for the princess to bring rain to Nanzhao. Zhao Ling'er made the Five Spirit Orbs ascend and struck them with the Sky Serpent Staff. The Five Spirit Orbs combined their power, and soon heavy rain fell from the sky. The people who had suffered from the drought for a long time walked out of their homes and danced with joy.
Zhao Ling'er and A Nu also felt relieved, knowing their efforts were not in vain. Li Xiaoyao had a faint premonition of trouble, feeling that everything seemed too easy. A palace messenger reported that the King of Nanzhao summoned the princess for an audience. Zhao Ling'er then took Li Xiaoyao and A Nu to the palace. When the King of Nanzhao saw that the princess had grown up and brought blessings, he was inevitably emotional.
However, his body was heavy and his voice weak. After a conversation between father and daughter, the King of Nanzhao stepped down from his throne and hugged the princess. Moments later, he took out a dagger and stabbed towards Zhao Ling'er's abdomen. Li Xiaoyao discovered this, immediately kicked the King of Nanzhao away, and directly stabbed his heart with his sword. The King of Nanzhao's body slowly disappeared, eventually turning into a withered tree.
Only then did everyone realize they had fallen into a trap. Chief Bai Yue suddenly appeared in the court, snatched the Water Spirit Orb, and explained that the Water Demon Beast could be resurrected as long as he obtained the blood of a Nuwa descendant and the Water Spirit Orb. Blood continuously gushed from Zhao Ling'er's abdomen, dripping onto the ground and seeping into the underground palace pool.
The Water Demon Beast quickly received the supply, burst out of the water, and rushed towards every corner of Nanzhao. Li Xiaoyao told Zhao Ling'er to leave first while he stayed to fight Chief Bai Yue. Zhao Ling'er and A Nu retreated outside the hall. Chief Bai Yue's subordinates had already broken into the court. Tang Yu was affected by a soul-snatching spell, killing anyone he saw, even if it was A Nu. A Nu desperately resisted.
The bells she wore on her hand made continuous sounds as she blocked the sword. Tang Yu was suddenly awakened, remembering the moments he spent with A Nu. He then stopped attacking. Chief Bai Yue's subordinates shot at A Nu. Tang Yu suddenly used his body to shield her from the chaotic swords, and he became critically wounded. Only then did A Nu realize that Tang Yu had regained consciousness and further confirmed his feelings for her.
Tang Yu explained the cause of Gai Luojiao's death. At that time, Chief Bai Yue demanded that one of Gai Luojiao and A Nu be sacrificed. Tang Yu then told Gai Luojiao. Gai Luojiao believed that while Chief Bai Yue still trusted Tang Yu, she should let Tang Yu find an opportunity to eliminate the Water Demon Beast in advance.
She felt she was already going to die anyway, and her life was not worth much, so she committed suicide with a sword afterwards. A Nu finally learned the truth, but Tang Yu's life could no longer be saved. Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao fought the Water Demon Beast together. The Water Demon Beast had immense power, and the two of them had almost no chance of winning.
Zhao Ling'er had no choice but to take out the Five Spirit Orbs and use their power to gradually force the Water Demon Beast back into the water. Chief Bai Yue refused to accept reality, falling directly off the cliff and into the water. Just as Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, they found the Water Demon Beast re-emerging from the water, its appearance more terrifying than before.
Only then did they realize that Chief Bai Yue had sacrificed himself to the Water Demon Beast, making its power even stronger. Zhao Ling'er knew that Chief Bai Yue was immortal and that she could only suppress it with her own body. Li Xiaoyao was extremely reluctant. Zhao Ling'er knew she had to fulfill her mission. She instructed Li Xiaoyao to take good care of their daughter.
After saying this, she plunged into the pool at the foot of the cliff, saving the people of Nanzhao. Li Xiaoyao was grief-stricken. He recalled every moment he had been with Zhao Ling'er. In his memories, they achieved eternal life. The great love of this heroic couple fulfilled them and benefited all sentient beings.
