The Blue Whisper Recap

Episode 1 Recap

Above the sky, in the immortal realm, heaven and earth bore two races: the Celestial Immortals, elegant and righteous, who maintained order, and the Earth Immortals, rebellious and often transgressing. The Celestial Immortals selected a group of elites to specialize in educating those who broke the rules; these were the spiritual masters. In the four regions of spiritual masters, relationships with Earth Immortals were forbidden, a decree that the Southern Thousand Flower Valley, with its supreme power, regarded as inviolable.

Ji Yunhe, a stunningly beautiful spiritual masters from Thousand Flower Valley, had mastered powerful spiritual manipulation techniques. She was naturally and unruly, yearning for freedom, but she defiantly fell in love with Chang Yi, a merman. After years of resistance and cultivation, she finally escaped, only to be caught by Chang Yi on the spot. He cruelly broke Ji Yunhe's wings, causing her great pain.

Ji Yunhe was heartbroken, never expecting that Chang Yi, her once-beloved lover, would be so heartless towards her. She couldn't help but recall that long-ago memory. In the fragrant Thousand Flower Valley, people came and went. An old woman arrived at the dense forest, spotting the Zhu Yu celestial herb from afar.

Overjoyed, she eagerly reached out to pick it, but the spiritual masters Ji Yunhe suddenly descended from the sky and snatched the herb away, forcing the old woman to reveal her Guhuo Bird form. The Guhuo Bird had committed many evil deeds, and Ji Yunhe was under orders to capture her. The Guhuo Bird looked down on the young Ji Yunhe and attacked her fiercely.

Ji Yunhe didn't want to linger in battle, so she took out the Guhuo Bird's newly hatched child, A Yin, whom she had previously seized, threatening her. The Guhuo Bird was enraged and relentlessly chased after her. The spiritual masters Qu Xiaoxing and Envoy Zhang of Thousand Flower Valley and others happened to pass by, witnessing everything clearly from behind a large tree.

Envoy Zhang knew that Ji Yunhe was no match for the Guhuo Bird and urged Qu Xiaoxing to help. The Guhuo Bird's sins were grave, and Fairy Shunde had specifically ordered her capture, also specifically stating that Guhuo Bird's beautiful feathers were not to be harmed. Qu Xiaoxing insisted on waiting for instructions from the Imperial Department. He and the other spiritual masterss then went into formation, surrounding the Guhuo Bird.

Envoy Zhang, worried that damaging the Guhuo Bird's feathers would make it difficult to report back, advised Qu Xiaoxing to be lenient. He didn't listen at all. Envoy Zhang challenged Qu Xiaoxing, and the Guhuo Bird took the opportunity to jump out of the encirclement, using her powerful inner force to knock all the other spiritual masterss to the ground, even burning her own feathers.

Ji Yunhe knew that the Guhuo Bird was desperately seeking the Zhu Yu celestial herb to help A Yin cultivate, so she used A Yin to threaten her, enraging the Guhuo Bird. Ji Yunhe publicly revealed that the Guhuo Bird's son, A Yin, had already been burned to death in that mountain fire, and that the mountain fire was caused by the Guhuo Bird challenging Bi Fang.

She had stolen the young of the Guan Guan bird to entrust her longing for A Yin, Ji Yunhe advised the Guhuo Bird to stop early, and also borrowed the information of A Yin's reincarnation from the Master Si Ming to show her.

After A Yin was saved by the Celestial Immortals, he was allowed to be reincarnated into the mortal world, his parents loved him very much, A Yin was obedient and kind, his father bought him a bird, A Yin couldn't bear to keep the bird in a cage, and released the bird on the spot. The Guhuo Bird felt relieved to see A Yin living a healthy and happy life, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

The Guhuo Bird immediately decided to let go of the Guan Guan bird cub and obediently hand over her spiritual core. Ji Yunhe sent someone to take her back to Thousand Flower Valley to await punishment. Qu Xiaoxing praised Ji Yunhe's mind control skills, and Envoy Zhang knew that the feathers of the Guan Guan bird would be beautiful when it grew up, so he wanted to give this cub to Fairy Shunde.

Ji Yunhe firmly refused, and Envoy Zhang offered a white talisman of silence in exchange. Ji Yunhe still didn't buy it and used the white talisman to silence Envoy Zhang on the spot, taking the opportunity to snatch the cub back. Envoy Zhang was so angry that he could only stare blankly and had to go back to report to Fairy Shunde.

Ji Yunhe sent Qu Xiaoxing to send the Guan Guan bird cub back, and Qu Xiaoxing was worried that she would offend Fairy Shunde and cause trouble, but Ji Yunhe didn't care. At this moment, the bell of Thousand Flower Valley rang, and Ji Yunhe knew that the young valley master Lin Haoqing had returned early after completing his mission, and she hurried back to Li Feng Hall.

Lin Haoqing not only successfully retrieved the rhinoceros' spiritual core, but also gave each Elder ganoderma as a gift, and the Elders all believed that Ji Yunhe would definitely lose in this competition for Dharma Protector. Ji Yunhe hurried back and handed over the Guhuo Bird's spiritual core. Lin Haoqing publicly condemned Ji Yunhe for injuring Envoy Zhang and worried about offending Fairy Shunde and causing trouble.

Ji Yunhe retorted against him, and Valley Master Lin Canglan quickly stopped them and announced in public that Ji Yunhe would be promoted to Dharma Protector and would personally teach her spiritual masters skills. Ji Yunhe was not happy, she knew that she was just a whetstone for Lin Haoqing, Lin Canglan wanted to use her to help Lin Haoqing to become the valley master as soon as possible.

Lin Canglan followed the rules and channeled his power to Ji Yunhe, deliberately increasing the intensity.

Ji Yunhe rolled on the ground in pain, and she saw that Lin Canglan was taking the opportunity to vent his anger, explaining again and again that the reason why she offended Envoy Zhang was to make Envoy Zhang and Fairy Shunde inclined to Lin Haoqing, so as to stabilize Lin Haoqing's position, Lin Canglan was slightly relieved and asked the close Celestial Immortals Si Yu to give Ji Yunhe the antidote.

Ji Yunhe staggered back to her residence, and the maid Luo Jinsang asked her questions of warmth when she saw that she was haggard and weak from the torture of the frost.

Ji Yunhe wanted to take Luo Jinsang to escape from Thousand Flower Valley and live a free life, but in order to control the spiritual masters, Lin Canglan planted frost on each of them, which would break out every once in a while, and Lin Canglan gave a pill of antidote to relieve it.

Ji Yunhe was waiting for a suitable opportunity and sent Luo Jinsang to find more Earth Immortals who had made mistakes to teach, and to collect more spiritual stones for future needs. In a blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Luo Jinsang had searched around for some unreliable little Earth Immortals, and Ji Yunhe dismissed them with a few words.

Envoy Zhang suddenly came to visit Ji Yunhe, and brought a huge iron box, which contained a rebellious Earth Immortals, and asked Ji Yunhe to be responsible for taming it, Ji Yunhe knew that Envoy Zhang was deliberately making things difficult for her, she opened the box, and a huge long-tailed merman broke free from inside, and the huge waves that were set off knocked everyone to the ground.

Ji Yunhe used all her skills to try to subdue the merman, but she was once again shaken by his powerful spiritual power, thanks to Lin Haoqing's timely arrival, who tied the merman tightly. Fairy Shunde Ru Ling then arrived, ordering Thousand Flower Valley to tame the merman, and Lin Canglan also arrived upon hearing the news and invited Ru Ling to Li Feng Hall.

Ru Ling asked him to send someone to tame the merman, to make the merman speak, and then to break his tail and then obtain the Immortal Pill, which was simply an impossible task, Lin Haoqing agreed with a straight face, and Ji Yunhe took the initiative to ask for the training of the merman in order to find a chance to escape from Thousand Flower Valley.

Episode 2 Recap

Envoy Zhang strongly opposed Ji Yunhe participating in taming the merman. Ji Yunhe publicly promised that she would make the merman sincerely submit to Ru Ling. Ru Ling made her sign a military pledge on the spot, and also had Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe tame the merman's body and mind separately. If either of them completed the task first, they would receive the corresponding reward. The merman was locked up in the Reflection Cave.

Lin Haoqing used a golden sword to nail his tail to an ancient tree. He couldn't move and thrashed around, shaking the ground. Lin Haoqing ordered the maid Si Yu to administer lightning torture to him. The merman was electrocuted all over but still endured without speaking. Si Yu didn't want Ji Yunhe to win and urged Lin Haoqing to tame the merman quickly.

Lin Haoqing was worried Si Yu would act without permission, so he confiscated the dagger he had given Si Yu on the spot and forbade Si Yu from interfering in Ji Yunhe's affairs. Ji Yunhe came to the Reflection Cave, first breaking through the barrier to approach the merman. The merman was very alert and glared at her angrily.

Ji Yunhe repeatedly explained she wouldn't harm him and persuaded him to live well so he could return to his territory and see his family in the future. Ji Yunhe showed concern for the merman, personally applied medicine for him, and even gave him a set of clothes. The merman was very shy and desperately dodged her. Ji Yunhe couldn't help but laugh at him.

Immediately after, Ji Yunhe wanted to pull out the golden sword from the merman's tail, only to discover that Lin Haoqing had cast a spell on the golden sword beforehand. Once the golden sword was pulled out, the merman's beautiful tail would be completely crippled.

Ji Yunhe guessed that Lin Haoqing would arrive soon and advised the merman not to confront him directly, but to learn to use his strength against him, only then would he have a glimmer of hope. As Ji Yunhe expected, Lin Haoqing rushed over with his people, warning Ji Yunhe not to pull out the golden sword without permission, or the consequences would be unimaginable. Lin Haoqing once again cast a spell to attack the merman.

The merman remembered Ji Yunhe's reminder to use strength against strength. He used all his spiritual power to swing the golden sword out. The golden sword grazed Lin Haoqing's face. Lin Haoqing hurried back to bandage it. Before leaving, he also reminded Ji Yunhe not to incite the merman anymore. Ji Yunhe secretly used an immortal seal to block the golden sword, causing her to suffer internal injuries. Luo Jinsang was very worried, but Ji Yunhe didn't take it seriously.

She wanted to use a stratagem of self-injury to move the merman. Ji Yunhe and Luo Jinsang came to the Reflection Cave and saw that the merman's long tail was gone, but he had grown legs and feet. Ji Yunhe helped him change into that set of clothes and personally treated his wounds.

Ji Yunhe noticed that the merman's eyes no longer looked at her with hostility, so she took out some treasured delicacies for him, firmly believing that she could make the merman speak within three days. Ji Yunhe took meticulous care of the merman, talking about everything with him and even wanting to become friends with him. The merman gradually relaxed his guard towards her but still refused to speak.

Ji Yunhe wanted to give him the antidote for the frost, the Ningxue Pill, to help him heal, but Luo Jinsang advised her to keep it for herself. Lin Canglan sent Qing Shu to find Ji Yunhe and remind her to think twice before acting, and not to give the antidote to the merman. At the same time, Lin Haoqing came to find the merman, exposing Ji Yunhe as the highest-level spiritual masters, whose task was to tame the merman.

He also said many bad things about Ji Yunhe, and the merman believed him. Ji Yunhe came to give the merman the Ningxue Pill. The merman's attitude towards her completely changed; he threw the Ningxue Pill on the ground on the spot. Ji Yunhe was very heartbroken. She squatted down to pick up the Ningxue Pill. The merman inadvertently saw that Ji Yunhe's wrists were full of scars and was very confused.

Ji Yunhe guessed that Lin Haoqing was behind this and explained that she was forced to become a spiritual masters and longed to leave this place, but the merman didn't believe her at all. Ji Yunhe left dejectedly. As she went out, she met Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing was sarcastic and spoke maliciously to her. Ji Yunhe retorted, and the two parted on bad terms. The merman picked up the Ningxue Pill from the ground and ate it. He immediately felt his spiritual power greatly increase.

Episode 3 Recap

After the merman took the Ningxue Pill, he felt refreshed. He was secretly pleased. Suddenly, the walls of the Reflection Cave became scorching hot, and the merman was tormented by the heat. When Qu Xiaoxing learned of this, he immediately reported it to Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe consulted historical records, which stated that mermen were loyal and righteous and knew how to repay kindness. Ji Yunhe could not stand by and watch the merman suffer and decided to help him.

Lin Haoqing guessed that Ji Yunhe would not stand idly by. He deliberately withdrew the guards from the Reflection Cave, leaving only a few people for show, specifically to lure Ji Yunhe to rescue the merman. If Ji Yunhe violated celestial rules and was held accountable, he could achieve victory effortlessly. Luo Jinsang transformed into a butterfly and overheard Lin Haoqing and Si Yu discussing this plot. She immediately tried to stop Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe was desperate to save him; she didn't care about anything else, so she had Qu Xiaoxing and Luo Jinsang put on her large robes and cover their heads and faces to distract the guards. The guards indeed fell for it. They mistakenly thought Ji Yunhe had rescued the merman and chased after Qu Xiaoxing and Luo Jinsang, who were covered in large robes.

By the time the guards realized they had been tricked, Ji Yunhe had already rescued the merman from the Reflection Cave and encouraged him to live well. The merman was deeply moved and painstakingly spoke Ji Yunhe's name word by word. Ji Yunhe was very happy. The warning bell of the Thousand Flower Valley suddenly rang. Lin Haoqing personally came to Ji Yunhe's residence to demand the merman. Ji Yunhe did not allow anyone to enter and search.

Si Yu seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was grazed by her dagger, completely unprepared. Lin Haoqing glared angrily at Si Yu. Qing Shu rushed over to understand the situation. Ji Yunhe admitted that the merman was in her room, and she just wanted to protect him from being harmed by Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe argued their points.

Qing Shu could not make a decision and took Ji Yunhe and Lin Haoqing to the Fierce Wind Hall to see Lin Canglan and the Elders. Ji Yunhe publicly guaranteed that the merman would be able to speak very soon. Lin Canglan agreed to personally verify it the next day. Lin Haoqing blamed Si Yu for not only attacking and injuring Ji Yunhe without permission but also accidentally discovered blood on Si Yu's arm.

Guessing she had poisoned her snake blood, he pressed her hard. Si Yu had no choice but to admit that the dagger used to stab Ji Yunhe had snake venom on it. Lin Haoqing was furious and gritted his teeth, forcing Si Yu to hand over the antidote. When Ji Yunhe returned to her residence, the snake venom on her neck began to act up. She suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious. Luo Jinsang cried anxiously.

The merman endured the pain and pulled out a scale to heal Ji Yunhe, thus bringing her back to life. Pulling out a scale meant the merman had to endure bone-piercing pain, in addition to his severe injuries. Due to exhaustion, the merman fainted on the ground. Ji Yunhe was very worried. The merman gradually regained consciousness. He struggled to express his gratitude to Ji Yunhe for saving his life.

Luo Jinsang discovered that biting the merman's lips would make him fluently express what was in his heart. Ji Yunhe promised to find a way to take the merman and escape the Thousand Flower Valley the next day. The merman introduced himself as Chang Yi and was willing to be friends with Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing came to deliver the antidote to Ji Yunhe.

Seeing that she had recovered, he reminded her to be careful and not play with fire and burn herself. Ji Yunhe returned to her room and personally saw the merman Chang Yi sacrificing his tears to form little pearls for her as compensation. Ji Yunhe felt uneasy. She lied to keep the merman calm, hoping to achieve victory the next day and earn herself the capital to escape the Thousand Flower Valley.

Lin Haoqing warned Si Yu not to lay a finger on Ji Yunhe. Si Yu saw that Lin Haoqing's feelings for Ji Yunhe were unusual and was harshly reprimanded by Lin Haoqing in return. Early the next morning, Lin Canglan brought people and waited outside Ji Yunhe's door. Ji Yunhe hinted to Qu Xiaoxing, who came to capture the merman, to capture her as well, lest Chang Yi discover he had been deceived and be saddened.

Ji Yunhe promised Lin Canglan that she would hand over the merman soon. Ji Yunhe returned to her room, and a fierce beast suddenly burst in to capture someone. The merman Chang Yi resisted with all his might and even protected Ji Yunhe with his body. Ji Yunhe and he joined forces to fight the beast, and the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Xue Sanyue, the commander of the combat division of Thousand Flower Valley, arrived in time and subdued the beast effortlessly, retrieved the spirit elixir, and handed it to Lin Canglan. Lin Haoqing arrived later. Ji Yunhe guessed that he had arranged the beast. Lin Canglan urged Ji Yunhe to make the merman Chang Yi speak. Chang Yi saw the scene before him and felt a rift with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe promised to explain clearly to him in the future.

Chang Yi remained silent, so Ji Yunhe had no choice but to admit that she was too eager for merit and had failed the taming task. Lin Haoqing advised Ji Yunhe to withdraw from the competition, but she adamantly refused, even bringing up Ru Ling. Lin Canglan wanted Lin Haoqing to win legitimately, so he had no choice but to agree to let Ji Yunhe continue taming the merman. Lin Canglan needed to go into seclusion for cultivation.

Xue Sanyue volunteered to supervise Ji Yunhe and Lin Haoqing, giving each of them three days to tame the merman. Xue Sanyue inflicted heavy torture on Chang Yi. He was drenched in sweat from the pain. Ji Yunhe was worried and rushed to the Reflection Cave. Lin Haoqing arrived shortly after. Xue Sanyue announced that Ji Yunhe was not allowed to tame the merman for these three days as a punishment, so Ji Yunhe had to leave dejectedly.

The attendant Li Shu suddenly came excitedly looking for Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue quietly complained that he should not appear there. Ji Yunhe saw it all. She and Luo Jinsang quietly ambushed themselves outside Xue Sanyue's residence. Suddenly, they saw Li Shu leaving stealthily, and they followed closely behind.

Episode 4 Recap

Late at night, Li Shu invited Xue Sanyue to a sea of flowers deep in the dense forest. There was a wisteria tree there. Today was the third anniversary of his acquaintance with Xue Sanyue. There was also a wisteria tree where they first met. Li Shu unintentionally discovered there was one in Thousand Flower Valley, so he brought Xue Sanyue here to take the opportunity to confess his feelings for her.

Xue Sanyue also had deep feelings for Li Shu, but the prohibition did not allow Celestial Immortals and Earth Immortals to fall in love. The two of them could only date in secret. Xue Sanyue was moved by Li Shu's true feelings, and the two couldn't help but kiss passionately under the wisteria tree. Luo Jinsang and Ji Yunhe witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

Luo Jinsang incited Ji Yunhe to report Xue Sanyue, but Ji Yunhe couldn't bear to. She didn't expect that the usually icy Xue Sanyue was also so affectionate, and she wanted to be friends with Xue Sanyue. Ji Yunhe took the initiative to confront Xue Sanyue, wanting to cooperate with her to escape Thousand Flower Valley. However, Xue Sanyue didn't fall for it and attacked Ji Yunhe mercilessly.

Ji Yunhe desperately broke free and rushed into the Reflection Cave to save Chang Yi. Xue Sanyue followed closely behind, pressing Ji Yunhe step by step. Chang Yi loudly stopped Xue Sanyue and desperately protected Ji Yunhe. Everyone present was stunned. Lin Haoqing rushed over with people upon hearing the news. Seeing this, Luo Jinsang quickly came in to report. Ji Yunhe again urged Xue Sanyue to cooperate with her.

Xue Sanyue threatened to kill all three of them to silence them. Ji Yunhe suddenly turned and kissed Chang Yi, proving that she had also violated the prohibition by falling in love with an Earth Immortal. She repeatedly guaranteed that she would not report Xue Sanyue and Li Shu. Xue Sanyue believed it to be true. Lin Haoqing rushed into the Reflection Cave with his people. Xue Sanyue voluntarily helped Ji Yunhe get out of the situation.

Lin Haoqing found nothing unusual, so he could only leave disgruntled with his people. Xue Sanyue couldn't figure out why Ji Yunhe wanted to cooperate with her, so Ji Yunhe took her to Hanzhong. It was a hidden place, surrounded by bone-chilling cold. Hanzhong was the final resting place for all spiritual masterss. Ji Yunhe clearly explained that Lin Canglan had planted Frost Flowers behind the necks of every spiritual masters.

That was not a spiritual masters's mark at all, but a type of Frost Poison. Lin Canglan used this poison to control spiritual masterss. The reason Xue Sanyue had not suffered from the frost was because she was obedient to Lin Canglan, and Lin Canglan regularly gave her the antidote without her knowledge. Xue Sanyue was half-skeptical. She tried to remove the frost from her body but was unable to do so.

Ji Yunhe persuaded Xue Sanyue to join forces with her to leave Thousand Flower Valley. Xue Sanyue asked her to prove that her relationship with Chang Yi was real. Ji Yunhe readily agreed. Xue Sanyue gave her three days. Ji Yunhe returned to the Reflection Cave and repeatedly apologized to Chang Yi for the forced kiss, trying desperately to make him happy. She even bathed him herself.

Chang Yi blushed crimson with embarrassment and knocked Ji Yunhe to the ground with a wave of his hand. To make Chang Yi happy, Ji Yunhe bought a lot of delicious food with many spirit stones, but he was not interested. Luo Jinsang felt sorry for the waste of so many spirit stones and inadvertently mentioned catering to his preferences to please Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe had a sudden idea and came up with a good plan.

She sent Chang Yi a conch shell, taking the opportunity to confess her feelings to him, wanting to be his lover. Chang Yi put the conch shell to his ear and really heard the sound of the sea. He was extremely excited. Ji Yunhe wanted to kiss Chang Yi, but Chang Yi suggested they hug first, so Ji Yunhe could only hug him tightly.

Xue Sanyue and Li Shu came in and saw Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi locked in a passionate embrace. They believed the two of them were lovers. Ji Yunhe gave Chang Yi a book to help him quickly become familiar with the language and customs on land. Luo Jinsang urged Ji Yunhe to persuade Chang Yi to cut off his tail as soon as possible. Then they would be certain of victory.

She told Ji Yunhe to give Chang Yi the scroll she had compiled featuring delicious food and beautiful scenery to entice him to live on land. Xue Sanyue lifted the restriction on Ji Yunhe, giving her three days to persuade Chang Yi to cut off his tail. Luo Jinsang and Ji Yunhe came to the Reflection Cave and described the wonderful life on land, one word after another.

Chang Yi remained unmoved and even persuaded Ji Yunhe to return to the sea with him. Chang Yi repeatedly emphasized that the tail was the source of a merman's spiritual power. Unless he was willing, it would not break even with hacking and chiseling. Once a merman's tail was cut off, he would lose all his spiritual power and could never return to the sea in his lifetime.

Moreover, cutting off the tail would be considered a betrayal by his clan. His father had instructed him never to cut off his tail, even if it meant death. When Ji Yunhe learned of the severity of a merman cutting off his tail, she couldn't bear it and quickly found an excuse to leave. Luo Jinsang was unwilling to give up just like that.

She came to Li Shu for help, asking him to teach her the secret to pleasing Chang Yi so that Chang Yi would willingly cut off his tail for Ji Yunhe. Li Shu decided to start with Chang Yi. He came to the Reflection Cave and painstakingly advised Chang Yi to make a sacrifice for Ji Yunhe, even bringing up his and Xue Sanyue's romantic experiences as an example.

Three years ago, Xue Sanyue was ordered to perform a mission, but was injured by a fierce beast. She accidentally entered Li Shu's territory, Qiongling Peak. Li Shu disregarded the objections of his fellow clansmen and healed her wounds. Just as Xue Sanyue's injuries were about to heal completely, his clansmen came to question Li Shu, forcing him to drive Xue Sanyue away. Li Shu firmly refused and was severely punished by his clansmen.

Seeing this situation, Xue Sanyue quietly left. When Li Shu thought Xue Sanyue would never return, he packed his bags and left. Unexpectedly, Xue Sanyue suddenly appeared, and the two rekindled their romance.

Episode 5 Recap

Li Shu taught Chang Yi the secret techniques to coax Ji Yunhe, but Chang Yi couldn't get the hang of it. Li Shu then demonstrated by example, telling Chang Yi to use his strengths to please Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi pretended to faint and pass out, having Li Shu trick Ji Yunhe into the Reflection Cave. Ji Yunhe was anxious to save him and rushed in without hesitation.

Seeing Chang Yi safe and sound, Chang Yi looked at Ji Yunhe affectionately and even used his spiritual power to draw water, wanting to bathe her personally. Ji Yunhe was so scared she shrieked loudly. When she dodged, she accidentally wet her clothes. Chang Yi quickly helped her wipe them dry. Luo Jinsang heard from outside the cave. She was extremely anxious and loudly reminded them to sleep together.

Ji Yunhe bit the bullet and admitted that she liked sleeping the most. Chang Yi believed her and obediently lay down next to Ji Yunhe, pretending to sleep. Ji Yunhe thought he was asleep, so she carefully observed Chang Yi's handsome face, her heart filled with affection. That night, Li Shu transformed into a cat form, letting Xue Sanyue hold him for warmth. Late at night, Ji Yunhe's Frost Poison suddenly acted up.

She shivered all over, feeling like she was in a world of ice and snow. Chang Yi tightly hugged her, using his spiritual power to warm Ji Yunhe. Her body gradually warmed up. Si Yu sent people to stand guard outside the Reflection Cave day and night. Hearing that Ji Yunhe had entered and exited the Reflection Cave multiple times and had a close relationship with Chang Yi, she quickly reported to Lin Haoqing.

Early the next morning, Ji Yunhe woke up and saw Chang Yi was burning up. Only then did she realize he had risked his life to use his spiritual power to warm her. Mermen prefer cold and fear heat. Ji Yunhe felt very guilty, but Chang Yi was willing to endure the severe physical pain for her. Si Yu took Lin Haoqing and quietly hid outside the cave. They personally saw Ji Yunhe come out from inside.

Si Yu concluded that Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi had an ambiguous relationship and advised Lin Haoqing to expose her. As soon as Ji Yunhe returned to her residence, she heard the warning bell of Thousand Flower Valley ringing loudly. Ji Yunhe knew something big had happened and rushed to Lifeng Hall. Qing Shu publicly pointed out that a spiritual masters had violated the prohibition by having an ambiguous relationship with an Earth Immortal.

She wanted to use the Lover's Mirror to test the truth. If the blood of two people merged together, it meant they had a private affair. She also asked the Elders to bear witness. Lin Haoqing suggested starting the test with Ji Yunhe. Si Yu was convinced that Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi's relationship was abnormal. Qing Shu decided to test others first and then go to the Reflection Cave to test the merman.

Li Shu was worried that his relationship with Xue Sanyue would be exposed, so he quickly made an excuse to leave. Lin Haoqing desperately tried to stop him. The two of them fought fiercely. Li Shu didn't want to linger and used his ultimate move to injure Lin Haoqing. Seeing Lin Haoqing injured, Qing Shu ordered Li Shu to be captured and announced that the tests would begin tomorrow.

Ji Yunhe saw that Lin Haoqing deliberately blocked Li Shu's ultimate move, wanting to control him. Ji Yunhe went back to discuss with Luo Jinsang, planning to steal the Lover's Mirror from Qing Shu. Xue Sanyue happened to come to Ji Yunhe to discuss this matter. The two of them drugged the guards of Lifeng Hall, secretly went in, and smashed the Lover's Mirror to pieces.

Qing Shu brought Lin Haoqing and others and suddenly burst in, catching Ji Yunhe and Xue Sanyue red-handed. Xue Sanyue actually grabbed Ji Yunhe's hand tightly. It turned out that Xue Sanyue wanted to rescue Li Shu last night. Lin Haoqing sent Si Yu to find her to cooperate. He was determined to defeat Ji Yunhe and would not pursue the matter of Xue Sanyue and Li Shu.

As long as Xue Sanyue helped him defeat Ji Yunhe, he would release Li Shu. Xue Sanyue had no choice but to compromise. Xue Sanyue reported that Ji Yunhe had smashed the Lover's Mirror. Ji Yunhe desperately argued, and even took out an intact Lover's Mirror, offering to test whether she and Chang Yi had a private affair right now. Qing Shu sent someone to fetch Chang Yi's blood. Ji Yunhe dropped her own blood in.

The two drops of blood remained still, not merging together at all. Ji Yunhe proved her innocence with facts. Si Yu insisted that Xue Sanyue and Ji Yunhe had conspired together. Xue Sanyue severely chastised her. Ji Yunhe asked Xue Sanyue and Li Shu to test as well. Ji Yunhe had already sent Qu Xiaoxing to rescue Li Shu. Xue Sanyue and Li Shu each took a drop of blood and dripped it onto the Lover's Mirror.

Their blood also did not merge. Si Yu suspected the Lover's Mirror was fake and smashed it to pieces on the spot. Ji Yunhe picked up a shard and forced Lin Haoqing and Si Yu to test it. Unexpectedly, their blood drops quickly merged together. Qing Shu concluded that Si Yu had inappropriate feelings for Lin Haoqing, punished Lin Haoqing with confinement, and had Si Yu first imprisoned in the Reflection Cave, planning to impose severe punishment on her later.

Si Yu was locked in the Reflection Cave. The more she thought about it, the more furious she became. Three hundred years ago, Lin Haoqing saved the injured Si Yu and encouraged her to live well. To repay his kindness, Si Yu went through difficult training to become an Immortal Attendant. She went through great lengths to get close to Lin Haoqing, vowing to be loyal to him for life.

Lin Haoqing was very moved and kept her by his side. The guards were about to take Si Yu for punishment. Si Yu caught them off guard, injured them, and escaped. Lin Haoqing sent someone to summon Ji Yunhe and exposed in front of her that she and Xue Sanyue had colluded to swap the Lover's Mirror.

Ji Yunhe admitted this without denying it, confessing that she used the fake one to test Xue Sanyue and Li Shu, and the real one to test Si Yu. Lin Haoqing suspected that Ji Yunhe had fallen for Chang Yi, which was why she used the fake one to test herself. Ji Yunhe was left speechless. Si Yu suddenly burst in and attacked Ji Yunhe. Fortunately, Ji Yunhe had prepared Realgar beforehand to fight back. Ji Yunhe was unharmed.

Si Yu wouldn't give up and threatened to kill Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing rushed forward desperately to protect Ji Yunhe and sent Si Yu flying with a palm strike. Si Yu never expected Lin Haoqing would strike to kill her for Ji Yunhe. She instantly became heartbroken. Lin Haoqing killed her on the spot and retrieved her Spiritual Core. Ji Yunhe was stunned, never expecting Lin Haoqing to be so ruthless. Xue Sanyue handed the shards of the Lover's Mirror to Ji Yunhe and hurried back to take care of Li Shu.

Episode 6 Recap

Luo Jinsang immediately reported Si Yu's death and Lin Haoqing's confinement to Chang Yi. Chang Yi was very happy and used all his spiritual power to create a snow shower for Ji Yunhe. He knew Ji Yunhe liked snow the most, and Ji Yunhe couldn't stop smiling. Chang Yi offered to stay ashore with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was both touched and guilty, worried that she had let Chang Yi down. Chang Yi believed he wouldn't misjudge her.

Ji Yunhe curiously asked how Chang Yi had offended Ru Ling. Chang Yi explained the whole story in detail. Ru Ling accidentally fell into the water and was in danger. Chang Yi saved her, but Ru Ling wanted Chang Yi to be her Immortal Attendant. Chang Yi flatly refused, so Ru Ling sent people to capture him. Ji Yunhe reminded Chang Yi not to save people casually in the future.

Seeing Chang Yi's kindness and innocence, she secretly made up her mind not to ask Chang Yi to cut off his tail anymore and to find every way to save him and get him out. Ji Yunhe told Luo Jinsang her idea. Luo Jinsang asked her to find Xue Sanyue to team up. Ji Yunhe gradually realized that Li Shu was a deeply hidden individual and decided to seek his help first. Xue Sanyue carefully took care of Li Shu.

Li Shu used the excuse of wanting to eat fruits from the sea of flowers to send Xue Sanyue away. Ji Yunhe and Luo Jinsang quietly came to find Li Shu. Li Shu had been waiting for them.

He frankly stated that Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi were pretending to be a couple, and the reason he didn't expose them was that he wanted to team up with Ji Yunhe to get the antidote, so he could take Xue Sanyue and leave together. Unexpectedly, Xue Sanyue suddenly returned. Hearing the conversation between Ji Yunhe and Li Shu, she realized she had been deceived.

Ji Yunhe admitted that she was acting that day, but now she wasn't sure about her feelings for Chang Yi either. Ji Yunhe had already begun planning, wanting to get the antidote first and then save Chang Yi and send him back to the East Sea. Only after hearing Ji Yunhe's plan did Xue Sanyue forgive her.

Ji Yunhe took out the map of Thousand Flower Valley's defenses she had secretly drawn over the years, specifically pointing out the heavily guarded Ten Square Formation, which sealed a fierce and unmatched Azure Feathered Luan Bird. The Azure Feathered Luan Bird was originally an ancient divine bird, a generation of Phoenix King, who came out to wreak havoc in the human world back then.

Ning Ruochu, the head of the spiritual masterss of Thousand Flower Valley, along with nine other spiritual masterss, used the strength of ten people to forge the Ten Square Formation. Ning Ruochu even sacrificed his own life to seal the Azure Feathered Luan Bird. Ji Yunhe and Xue Sanyue finally decided to first create a diversion to lure Lin Canglan and the guards away, then go to Lin Canglan's inner chambers to steal the antidote.

Li Shu volunteered to cause a disturbance in Thousand Flower Valley. Ji Yunhe felt that Li Shu was not an ordinary person, but she couldn't guess his true identity. Ji Yunhe was certain that his feelings for Xue Sanyue were real. Li Shu put sleeping medicine in Xue Sanyue's soup, and Xue Sanyue quickly fell asleep. Li Shu went to the Ten Square Formation overnight.

Over the years, he had successively found nine formation eyes, and now, based on Ji Yunhe's map, he quickly found the tenth formation eye. Early in the morning, Lin Haoqing came to find Qing Shu and asked her to witness a good show with her own eyes. Lin Haoqing, using the excuse that the deceased Si Yu left behind a clue, arranged for Xue Sanyue to meet Ji Yunhe in the Spirit Snake Cave. Xue Sanyue arrived on time.

Li Shu came early in the morning to bring Xue Sanyue fish soup and found that she was missing. Li Shu traced Xue Sanyue to the Spirit Snake Cave, guessed that she had fallen into Lin Haoqing's trap, and rushed over to rescue her. Li Shu saw Xue Sanyue from a distance and urged her to leave quickly, but unexpectedly, it was Qing Shu disguised using illusion techniques.

Lin Haoqing brought Xue Sanyue under duress, and Li Shu had no choice but to surrender. Qing Shu wanted to severely punish Xue Sanyue and Li Shu, but Lin Haoqing volunteered to handle them. Ji Yunhe rushed to report to Chang Yi, promising to rescue him soon. Chang Yi thought she was still angry about the bathing incident, so he used his spiritual power to grow a flower to make her happy.

Chang Yi wanted to leave Thousand Flower Valley and continue being lovers with Ji Yunhe. Before Ji Yunhe could answer, Lin Haoqing suddenly appeared and wanted to take Ji Yunhe to witness Xue Sanyue and Li Shu's violation of the prohibition by being in love. Ji Yunhe had no choice but to go along. Lin Haoqing publicly announced that he would break Xue Sanyue's immortal bones and abolish her cultivation.

Ji Yunhe desperately pleaded for Xue Sanyue, suggesting they wait until Lin Canglan came out of seclusion, but Lin Haoqing's mind was made up. Because he admired Xue Sanyue's talent, he conceded and allowed Xue Sanyue to personally recover Li Shu's spiritual core, willing to show her leniency. Xue Sanyue resolutely refused. Lin Haoqing struck to kill her. Ji Yunhe desperately tried to stop him. Xue Sanyue had already resolved to die and did not want to implicate Ji Yunhe.

She fought fiercely with Lin Haoqing. Li Shu suddenly broke free from his restraints, erupting with a powerful衝力 from his whole body. Everyone present was stunned. Li Shu rescued Xue Sanyue and threatened to destroy Thousand Flower Valley. Li Shu used all his spiritual power to first destroy the Ten Square Formation, releasing the fiercest Azure Feathered Luan Bird. Everyone was knocked back and forth by the powerful spiritual power he unleashed.

The Ten Square Formation was broken, and the Azure Feathered Luan Bird soared into the sky. Li Shu spit blood and fainted after losing all his spiritual power. The Azure Feathered Luan Bird transmitted spiritual power to Li Shu, and Li Shu gradually regained consciousness. Lin Canglan came out of seclusion upon hearing the news. The Azure Feathered Luan Bird shouted at him, challenging Ning Ruochu, the former Valley Master of Thousand Flower Valley.

Ji Yunhe took advantage of the chaos to take Luo Jinsang to the inner chambers to find the antidote. Qu Xiaoxing accidentally saw them and quickly followed in, volunteering to be their lookout. Lin Canglan explained that Ning Ruochu was already dead. He had perished a thousand years ago after sacrificing his life to seal the Azure Feathered Luan Bird in the Ten Square Formation back then. When the Azure Feathered Luan Bird learned this, tears flowed uncontrollably. Lin Canglan suddenly let out a loud shout and used all his spiritual power to seal the Azure Feathered Luan Bird again.

Episode 7 Recap

Ji Yunhe finally found the antidote for the frost in the inner chamber after much effort. She gave a portion to Qu Xiaoxing, asking him to find a chance to leave Thousand Flower Valley. Qu Xiaoxing didn't understand what the antidote was for. Ji Yunhe had no time to explain and promised to tell him the full story later.

Ji Yunhe gave all the remaining antidote to Luo Jinsang and asked her to leave Thousand Flower Valley as soon as possible. Ji Yunhe wanted to go to the Cave of Repentance to rescue Chang Yi, and then meet up with Luo Jinsang. Lin Canglan and nine Elders simultaneously channeled their power, intending to reactivate the Ten Square Formation to seal the Azure Feathered Luan Bird again. Lin Haoqing forced Xue Sanyue to kill Li Shu.

Xue Sanyue remained motionless, looking at the dying Li Shu. When the Azure Feathered Luan Bird learned that her former lover Ning Ruochu was dead, she was heartbroken and grief-stricken. She unleashed all her rage upon Lin Canglan and the others, beating them until they were thrown head over heels. The more Xue Sanyue thought about it, the sadder she became. She never expected Li Shu to be so deeply hidden.

Every possible way he approached her was to rescue the sealed Azure Feathered Luan Bird. Xue Sanyue felt her feelings had been deceived. Disheartened, she returned Li Shu's spiritual core on the spot, severing ties with him completely. The Azure Feathered Luan Bird used her ultimate move. Lin Canglan and the Elders desperately resisted but were still knocked sideways by the powerful spiritual power. Qing Shu secretly flashed out and brutally attacked Xue Sanyue.

Li Shu struggled to jump up and shielded Xue Sanyue without regard for his own safety. He was struck by Qing Shu, losing all his spiritual power, and his body quickly began to burn. Xue Sanyue held him, crying uncontrollably. Lin Canglan and the others regrouped and finally activated the Ten Square Formation. The Azure Feathered Luan Bird spread her massive wings and retaliated, sending countless golden swords flying out, once again utterly defeating Lin Canglan and the others.

Li Shu used his last breath to beg the Azure Feathered Luan Bird to take Xue Sanyue away, and then he turned to dust and vanished. Xue Sanyue didn't have time to grieve before she was rescued by the Azure Feathered Luan Bird. Lin Canglan immediately sent people to chase. Lin Haoqing remembered Chang Yi, who was confined in the Cave of Repentance, and immediately rushed over to capture him.

Ji Yunhe rushed to the Cave of Repentance and saw that Chang Yi had already broken through the barrier set up by Lin Haoqing, but he hadn't left; he had been waiting for her. Just as Ji Yunhe was about to take him away, a square formation appeared in the center of the cave. A huge suction force threatened to swallow Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe struggled desperately, gripping tightly onto a nearby rock.

Suddenly, she saw the Azure Feathered Luan Bird and Xue Sanyue flash across the sky, and she guessed that Li Shu was in danger. Ji Yunhe didn't have time to think further before she was sucked towards the powerful formation. Chang Yi desperately pulled her back. Seeing a massive wave rushing towards Ji Yunhe, Chang Yi shielded her with his body, and his back was severely injured by the heavy impact.

Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe used all their spiritual power, but the difference in power was too great, and they ultimately fell into the Ten Square Formation. When Lin Haoqing arrived at the Cave of Repentance, it had already returned to peace. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi were nowhere to be seen. Lin Haoqing guessed that they had both fallen into the Ten Square Formation. Ji Yunhe woke up groggily and quickly woke Chang Yi beside her.

Seeing his back was severely injured and bloody, Ji Yunhe wanted to treat his wounds, but her spiritual power was completely lost. Ji Yunhe wanted to find water to relieve his pain and prevent infection. Ji Yunhe gently stroked Chang Yi's head to comfort him and decided to look for a water source nearby. Chang Yi saw the mist swirling in the dense forest and worried that Ji Yunhe would get lost.

Ji Yunhe took out a long red thread and gave it to Chang Yi, pulling the other end as she walked into the depths of the dense forest. Lin Canglan sent out many people, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Azure Feathered Luan Bird and Xue Sanyue. He worried about being held accountable by his Master, who was in seclusion cultivating, so he continued to send more people to apprehend them, forbidding anyone from revealing this matter.

Lin Canglan wanted to quickly tame the merman Chang Yi to appease Fairy Shunde Ru Ling and avoid any further complications. Unexpectedly, both Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe had disappeared. He was so angry that he spat blood. After much effort, Ji Yunhe finally found a small river in the depths of the dense forest. There was also a small wooden house by the river. She guessed it was where the Azure Feathered Luan Bird once lived.

After the river water cleansed his wounds, Chang Yi's injuries gradually improved. Ji Yunhe found a change of clothes for Chang Yi from a cabinet. Chang Yi offered to help Ji Yunhe bathe, but Ji Yunhe politely refused. Chang Yi gave Ji Yunhe the flowers he had grown in the Cave of Repentance. Ji Yunhe liked them very much, but the urgent matter was to escape from here as quickly as possible.

Ji Yunhe had no choice but to go outside to find a way. Before leaving, she told Chang Yi not to shield her if they encountered danger in the future, because if their roles were reversed, she might not necessarily sacrifice her life to save him. Qing Shu brought Lin Canglan to the wisteria tree under which Xue Sanyue and Li Shu had secretly met.

She repeatedly confessed her guilt to Lin Canglan, saying that it was due to her negligence that the Azure Feathered Luan Bird, Ji Yunhe, and others had successively escaped. She wanted to cut down the tree, but Lin Canglan wanted to keep it as a warning to others. Qing Shu worried that Lin Haoqing had also violated a prohibition, which made Lin Canglan feel uneasy.

As Qing Shu had expected, ever since Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi escaped, Lin Haoqing had been listless all day, hiding in his room every day drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Ji Yunhe sat by the river, feeling dejected and sad. Her relationship with Chang Yi had started with a lie. She worried that if Chang Yi learned the truth, he would hate her to the bone. Ji Yunhe wanted to go their separate ways after leaving Thousand Flower Valley.

Chang Yi suddenly cried out loudly. Ji Yunhe quickly rushed back to the house. Chang Yi wanted to apply the medicine himself, but he couldn't reach his back. Ji Yunhe helped him apply the medicine. Chang Yi wanted to sleep with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe found various reasons to refuse, but she couldn't resist Chang Yi's persistent coaxing. The two lay fully clothed on one bed. Qing Shu suggested creating a breakthrough through Qu Xiaoxing.

Lin Haoqing volunteered to interrogate Qu Xiaoxing, and Lin Canglan readily agreed. Qu Xiaoxing was severely tortured, but he consistently refused to reveal Ji Yunhe's whereabouts. Lin Haoqing brought Qu Xiaoxing trauma medicine and told him to hurry to the exit of the Ten Square Formation to wait for Ji Yunhe. Qu Xiaoxing was greatly bewildered, but Lin Haoqing forbade him from asking around. Chang Yi caught a few fish in the river for Ji Yunhe to nourish her body.

Ji Yunhe's feeling of guilt deepened. Just as Chang Yi was about to grab the fish, they suddenly disappeared. Ji Yunhe deduced that there was spiritual power in the water. She put her hand in the water and clearly felt the presence of spiritual power. She firmly believed that by following the water source, she could find the exit where the Azure Feathered Luan Bird broke the formation.

In the middle of the river, a spiritual essence of the Azure Feathered Luan Bird suddenly appeared, intending to kill the spiritual masters Ji Yunhe. But she couldn't leave the river water. The spiritual essence yelled and screamed in anger, cursing Ning Ruochu, the heartless man who had failed her. Ji Yunhe wanted to follow the water source to find the exit, but the spiritual essence was the biggest obstacle.

A clever idea suddenly came to her: let Chang Yi attract the spiritual essence of the Azure Feathered Luan Bird. Chang Yi resolutely refused, stating that mermen never lie or deceive. Ji Yunhe had no choice but to disguise herself as a scholar. She showed concern and asked about the spiritual essence's well-being. The spiritual essence gradually lowered her guard towards Ji Yunhe and recounted the detailed story of her grievances and love-hate relationship with Ning Ruochu.

Episode 8 Recap

A thousand years ago, Guhuo Bird rescued Li Shu, the descendant of the Mountain Cat King, but was pursued by spiritual masterss. Later, Ning Ruochu accidentally saved Li Shu, Guhuo Bird's young attendant. Guhuo Bird saw that Ning Ruochu had no ill intentions, and they gradually developed feelings for each other through their interactions. However, they violated the rule in Thousand Flower Valley that forbade Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals from falling in love.

Ning Ruochu was willing to give up everything and live in seclusion in the deep mountains with Guhuo Bird. The two lived a simple yet sweet life. Ning Ruochu would comb Guhuo Bird's hair every day, tie a blue ribbon for her with his own hands, and even swore to comb her hair every day from then on. However, their good times did not last long.

spiritual masterss from Thousand Flower Valley discovered their whereabouts and hunted them down, attacking mercilessly. Guhuo Bird, ignoring Ning Ruochu's objections, attacked and injured the spiritual masterss of Thousand Flower Valley. Ning Ruochu was very angry, and the two had a huge fight because of this. Guhuo Bird, in a fit of pique, wanted to go their separate ways from Ning Ruochu. Not long after, Ning Ruochu's master passed away.

Ning Ruochu secretly returned to Thousand Flower Valley to handle the funeral matters. Guhuo Bird thought he was gone forever, but unexpectedly, he returned and said he wanted to ask nine spiritual masterss to help create the Ten Square Formation to seal Guhuo Bird within it. Ning Ruochu would then reunite with her under the pretense of traveling the world, and the two would live in the Ten Square Formation from then on.

Guhuo Bird trusted him completely and willingly entered the Ten Square Formation, building a small wooden house there. She waited bitterly for a thousand years, but Ning Ruochu never showed up. Guhuo Bird's spiritual essence became sadder the more she spoke, and finally she was grief-stricken. Ji Yunhe fell into melancholy after hearing their story.

Ning Ruochu's betrayal made Guhuo Bird wish she were dead, and Ji Yunhe worried that Chang Yi would also resent her similarly if he learned the truth. Guhuo Bird's spiritual essence began to get angry again, threatening to kill all the spiritual masterss. Huge waves were stirred up in the river by her. Chang Yi quickly pulled Ji Yunhe into the small wooden house.

He believed that Ning Ruochu could not have betrayed his feelings and must have had a hidden reason. Ji Yunhe remained troubled. Chang Yi firmly believed that his and Ji Yunhe's feelings were rock solid. He wanted to go and persuade the spiritual essence, but Ji Yunhe did not let him take the risk and insisted on going to explain the situation to the spiritual essence herself. Ji Yunhe disguised herself as Ning Ruochu to see Guhuo Bird's spiritual essence.

When the spiritual essence saw the blue ribbon on her wrist, she completely lowered her guard. Ji Yunhe tied the blue ribbon on the spiritual essence's wrist. Moved to tears, the spiritual essence danced gracefully in the water. Chang Yi sang the "Merman's Song". The melodious singing echoed in the air. He used this to control the water and create an illusion.

In the illusion, Ning Ruochu suddenly descended from the sky to Guhuo Bird's side, vowing never to leave her again. The two embraced passionately, then drifted away. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi were both deeply moved by the warm scene before them and could not recover for a long time. Just then, a large whirlpool appeared in the center of the river. Ji Yunhe guessed that the Ten Square Formation had been destroyed.

They had no choice but to jump into the whirlpool; otherwise, they would be trapped there forever. Ji Yunhe was worried that if they jumped in, they would be separated and never see each other again, so she taught him how to play rock-paper-scissors on the spot. The loser had to follow the winner. Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe played rock-paper-scissors, and Ji Yunhe won.

She tightly held Chang Yi's hand and swore to be with him forever, promising that there would be no more lies between them from then on. Chang Yi couldn't help but kiss Ji Yunhe, then took the opportunity to transfer the merman pearl inside his body into Ji Yunhe's. Ji Yunhe knew that the merman pearl was Chang Yi's life, and she was very moved. Hand in hand, the two jumped into the whirlpool.

--- Guhuo Bird took Xue Sanyue to Leyou Mountain. Xue Sanyue, due to the painful loss of her beloved Li Shu, neither ate, drank, nor spoke. Guhuo Bird spent her days drowning her sorrows in alcohol. She had imagined a thousand scenarios for meeting Ning Ruochu, but she never expected him to be dead. She was heartbroken and in agony. Xue Sanyue came to question Guhuo Bird, demanding to know her relationship with Li Shu.

Li Shu had actually betrayed their relationship for her and was willing to die for Guhuo Bird. Guhuo Bird did not want to explain further. Xue Sanyue was enraged and pressed her step by step, but was eventually subdued. When Ji Yunhe woke up groggily, she thought she had finally escaped Thousand Flower Valley. Unexpectedly, Qing Shu was standing in front of her. Only then did Ji Yunhe realize that the whirlpool led to the pond in Lin Canglan's backyard.

That pond was one of the formation's vital points of the Ten Square Formation. Ji Yunhe was filled with distress when she learned that Chang Yi had been imprisoned in the Cave of Repentance again. The Elders unanimously demanded that Lin Canglan severely punish Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe knew well that she could not admit to escaping with Chang Yi, otherwise Chang Yi would be given a severe punishment.

Ji Yunhe insisted that after Li Shu broke the Ten Square Formation, she was worried that the merman Chang Yi would take the opportunity to escape, so she went to the Cave of Repentance to check, and as a result, a golden light appeared in the cave, and she and Chang Yi accidentally fell into the Ten Square Formation. Lin Canglan and the Elders did not believe her at all.

Ji Yunhe repeatedly claimed that the merman only trusted her and only she could tame him. The Elders firmly disagreed and insisted on punishing Ji Yunhe with twenty strokes of the Red-tailed Whip. Qu Xiaoxing arrived in time with Chang Yi. Chang Yi tried his best to defend Ji Yunhe, explaining publicly that he and Ji Yunhe had accidentally fallen into the Ten Square Formation. Seeing that the merman could speak, Lin Canglan no longer pursued Ji Yunhe's guilt.

Ji Yunhe asked Qu Xiaoxing to take Chang Yi back to the Cave of Repentance, and Chang Yi obeyed her words. Ji Yunhe took the opportunity to request that no one be allowed to approach Chang Yi. Lin Canglan agreed verbally but, under the guise of a reward, struck Ji Yunhe heavily on the shoulder. The frost poison in her body flared up again. Ji Yunhe staggered back to her dwelling.

Luo Jinsang quickly brought her the antidote to take, but the frost did not dissipate; instead, it became increasingly severe. Qing Shu arrived shortly after, having been sent with instructions. She reminded Ji Yunhe not to take those pills anymore, telling her that the antidote they had stolen from the inner chamber was fake. Only then did Ji Yunhe realize she had fallen into Lin Canglan's trap. She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

Qing Shu warned Ji Yunhe to reflect properly and set up a barrier in her room before leaving. Lin Canglan personally came to see Lin Haoqing, encouraging him to cheer up and start the second round of taming the merman, stating that he must not lose to Ji Yunhe again. Guhuo Bird imprisoned Xue Sanyue in the cave on Leyou Mountain where she used to practice, and she also set up a barrier there.

Xue Sanyue vowed to get out and kill Guhuo Bird sooner or later. Guhuo Bird ignored her. Lin Haoqing came to the Cave of Repentance and, without a word, picked up a sharp sword intending to sever Chang Yi's tail. Chang Yi resisted desperately. Lin Haoqing gradually found himself outmatched and had to temporarily desist.

Episode 9 Recap

Chang Yi swore he would never sever his tail, using all his spiritual power to shock Lin Haoqing far away. Lin Haoqing, angered and humiliated, warned him not to stubbornly resist, as no one could help him now. Li Shu had died tragically, Qing Ji had fled with Xue Sanyue, and Ji Yunhe's frost poison had already flared up. If she didn't get the antidote in time, she would be frozen and sleep forever within three days.

Only if Chang Yi obediently severed his tail could Ji Yunhe's life be saved. Chang Yi was stunned instantly. He sent Qu Xiaoxing to find out what was happening. Qu Xiaoxing asked Lin Haoqing about the frost poison, but Lin Haoqing forbade him from asking around. Ji Yunhe was worn out and distressed by the frost poison. She guessed that Lin Haoqing would force Chang Yi to sever his tail and wanted to rush out to save him.

She struggled to get up and activate her power, but she couldn't break through the barrier set up by Qing Shu. Qu Xiaoxing rushed over, eager to know what was going on with Ji Yunhe's frost poison. Ji Yunhe was anxious to save someone and only explained briefly. She told Qu Xiaoxing to inform Chang Yi not to believe Lin Haoqing, adding that even if Chang Yi severed his tail, Lin Canglan would not spare her.

Lin Canglan had long since given the antidote to Lin Haoqing, telling him to handle it as he saw fit. Lin Haoqing wouldn't just stand by and watch Ji Yunhe die from the poison. He sent people to keep a close watch on Ji Yunhe's injury, intending to give her the antidote at the last moment. Qu Xiaoxing hurried back to report Ji Yunhe's situation to Chang Yi.

Chang Yi was worried and wanted to visit Ji Yunhe himself, but he tried several times and couldn't break the barrier. Qu Xiaoxing couldn't bear to see him so distressed and agreed to take him for a distant look at Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing suddenly arrived to stop them, ordering his men to escort Qu Xiaoxing away. Lin Haoqing warned Chang Yi to sever his tail quickly, or else he and Ji Yunhe would both die.

Chang Yi remembered Ji Yunhe's instructions and ignored Lin Haoqing's threats. Lin Haoqing quietly came to see Ji Yunhe and saw that her body was suffering greatly from the frost poison and her eyes were also becoming blind. Lin Haoqing felt terrible in his heart, secretly blaming Ji Yunhe for being too cruel.

Chang Yi dreamed that his tail was gone, and his father, the Merman King, learned that he had offered up his merman pearl and now had severed his tail, so he left in anger, reminding him before leaving that he could never return to the sea. While Chang Yi was sad and distressed, Ji Yunhe appeared by his side just in time.

Chang Yi just woke up from his dream when Lin Haoqing came to find him, once again forcing him to make a decision soon, or Ji Yunhe would lose her life. Chang Yi didn't believe him at all, so Lin Haoqing took him to witness it himself. Chang Yi saw Ji Yunhe from afar, her body covered in ice, her eyes blind. She was so tormented that she wished she were dead.

Ji Yunhe still wouldn't allow Luo Jinsang to tell Chang Yi about her condition. Chang Yi was heartbroken with grief. Lin Haoqing took the opportunity to force him to sever his tail quickly and even threatened him with the antidote. To save Ji Yunhe, Chang Yi endured the severe pain and cut off his tail. The merman's tail turned into a spiritual elixir. Lin Haoqing sent someone to deliver the spiritual elixir to Fairy Shunde.

Chang Yi struggled to get up and asked Lin Haoqing for the antidote, stumbling into the room to give it to Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe gradually woke up. When she saw that Chang Yi's tail was gone, she immediately understood everything. She was heartbroken and rushed out to reason with Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing advised her to rest and recuperate.

Witnessing the bond between Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe, who were willing to live and die for each other, Lin Haoqing was completely tired of everything in front of him. He didn't want to be the Valley Master of Thousand Flower Valley, and he was even less willing to continue being his father's puppet. He wanted to live a normal life. Lin Haoqing told Lin Canglan his thoughts, then left in a fit of pique.

For many years, Lin Canglan had plotted for Lin Haoqing in every possible way, but he didn't appreciate it. Lin Canglan was very sad, so he had Qing Shu push him to the sea of flowers to relax. That was Lin Haoqing's favorite place when he was a child. Lin Canglan remembered how Lin Haoqing used to sit by his knees when he was little, and the father and son would talk and laugh happily.

Since that incident, Lin Haoqing had started to distance himself from him. Lin Canglan was unwilling to give up and swore to continue to temper Lin Haoqing well. Chang Yi was unconscious due to a high fever. Ji Yunhe took meticulous care of him. Although the fever subsided, he was still unconscious. Ji Yunhe felt very guilty and wanted to find Chang Yi's family for help and send him back to the East Sea as soon as possible.

Chang Yi suddenly woke up. He was willing to stay with Ji Yunhe forever, never to be separated. Chang Yi couldn't help but want to kiss Ji Yunhe. Luo Jinsang mistakenly thought Chang Yi wanted to bite lips again to learn the language on land, so she voluntarily came forward to help Ji Yunhe. But Ji Yunhe didn't appreciate it and directly smacked her away.

Ji Yunhe repeatedly apologized to Chang Yi, explaining that it was because of her that Lin Haoqing had become ruthless. She couldn't help but recall things from her childhood. Back then, when Ji Yunhe first arrived at Thousand Flower Valley, she often hid in the sea of flowers and cried because she was lonely and scared. Lin Haoqing would come to accompany her and even brought his beloved puppy, Huahua, to coax her into happiness.

The two gradually became good friends. Unexpectedly, Lin Canglan forced Lin Haoqing to choose between Huahua and Ji Yunhe who would survive. Lin Haoqing begged bitterly, but it was useless. He finally chose Ji Yunhe. They both watched with their own eyes as Huahua died tragically. Lin Haoqing fell seriously ill because of this. Lin Canglan used Ji Yunhe as a whetstone for Lin Haoqing, intending to cultivate Lin Haoqing into a ruthless person.

Lin Canglan forced Ji Yunhe to push Lin Haoqing into the Spiritual Snake Cave. Ji Yunhe firmly refused. Lin Canglan then gave her the frost poison. Ji Yunhe was tormented to the brink of death, but she still wouldn't give in. Lin Canglan gave her the antidote and clearly stated that even if she didn't do it, he would send someone else to push Lin Haoqing down the Spiritual Snake Cave. Ji Yunhe had no choice but to comply.

From that day on, she became Lin Canglan's puppet on a string. After Lin Haoqing returned from the Spiritual Snake Cave, he was like a different person. Ji Yunhe felt very guilty. Chang Yi listened to her story and consoled her kindly. According to Fairy Shunde's request, the third round of taming the merman was to make Chang Yi willingly submit to Fairy Shunde. Ji Yunhe decided to use this opportunity to let Chang Yi recuperate well.

She sent Luo Jinsang to take some spiritual stones to bribe the Elders, so they would agree to change Chang Yi's location and use the remaining spiritual stones to buy some nourishing medicine for Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing came to the Spiritual Snake Cave again and couldn't help but remember that after he was pushed down, Ji Yunhe secretly brought him life-saving fruits, which allowed Lin Haoqing to leave the Spiritual Snake Cave alive.

Ji Yunhe was subsequently tormented by the frost poison given by Lin Canglan to the point of dying and coming back to life. Lin Haoqing witnessed this scene and secretly vowed to cultivate to become the strongest, so that Ji Yunhe could be free from suffering. From then on, he pretended to comply with Lin Canglan.

Episode 10 Recap

While Lin Haoqing stood atop the Spiritual Snake Cave recalling the past, Qu Xiaoxing rushed to find him to reason, desperately questioning what he intended to do with Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing had used despicable means to force Chang Yi to sever his tail, but he had not completely killed Ji Yunhe, clearly leaving her a glimmer of hope. Lin Haoqing didn't want to explain too much, but Qu Xiaoxing was persistent.

When he first arrived at Thousand Flower Valley, he had received Ji Yunhe's care and concern, and they quickly became good friends. Qu Xiaoxing couldn't stand by and do nothing; he wanted to save Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing saw that Qu Xiaoxing sincerely wanted to save Ji Yunhe, so he told him to stay by his side. Lin Haoqing couldn't openly protect Ji Yunhe; otherwise, his father Lin Canglan would ruthlessly kill Ji Yunhe.

Lin Haoqing wanted to help Ji Yunhe through Qu Xiaoxing. Qu Xiaoxing was greatly confused. Lin Haoqing had no choice but to reveal that Lin Canglan had poisoned all the spiritual masterss in Thousand Flower Valley with frost poison. As long as they were obedient, Lin Canglan would unknowingly give them the antidote. Qu Xiaoxing was stunned speechless. He suspected that Lin Haoqing had ulterior motives for betraying his father to help Ji Yunhe.

Lin Haoqing forbade Qu Xiaoxing from asking around, saying that only when he became the Valley Master could Ji Yunhe truly gain freedom. Because Ji Yunhe attacked Lin Haoqing, Lin Canglan sent people to arrest Ji Yunhe and take her to Lifeng Hall, ordering Qing Shu to whip her thirty times with the Red-tailed Whip as punishment. Upon receiving a report from his subordinate, Lin Haoqing immediately rushed to stop it.

Qing Shu claimed that Ji Yunhe had harmed Lin Haoqing without reason. Lin Haoqing desperately tried to defend Ji Yunhe, but Lin Canglan wouldn't have it and ordered him to continue whipping Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing couldn't bring himself to do it. Ji Yunhe, instead, encouraged him and even handed him the whip herself. Lin Haoqing took the whip and whipped down fiercely. Ji Yunhe stumbled from the pain. The whip broke into two halves on the spot.

Lin Haoqing's hand was injured from snapping the whip. Elder Muze couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to plead for Ji Yunhe, so Lin Canglan had to give up. Seeing Lin Canglan coughing incessantly, Lin Haoqing brought him herbal medicine. While standing outside the door, he overheard Lin Canglan telling Qing Shu to cut off Elder Muze's antidote to make him suffer a little. Hearing this, Lin Haoqing quickly and quietly left.

He never expected that Lin Canglan not only controlled the spiritual masterss with frost poison but had also spared none of the Elders. In reality, Lin Canglan intentionally let Lin Haoqing overhear those words, guessing that he would take action. Lin Canglan had poured all his efforts into Ji Yunhe, intending to use her to temper Lin Haoqing's will.

Seeing that Ji Yunhe's century-long cultivation was about to succeed, Lin Canglan wanted Lin Haoqing to quickly learn how to control Ji Yunhe so he could confidently entrust Thousand Flower Valley to him, and only then would Lin Haoqing have a chance to defeat that destined enemy. Lin Haoqing was distraught. Qu Xiaoxing gave him a jar of wine to relieve the pressure.

Lin Haoqing made a painful decision and vowed never to let his father continue down the wrong path. Lin Haoqing called Ji Yunhe to the Spiritual Snake Cave and confronted her directly. Lin Haoqing had long known that Lin Canglan forced Ji Yunhe to push him down back then. He wanted to join forces with Ji Yunhe to defeat Lin Canglan using the Soul Locking Formation.

He promised to give Ji Yunhe the antidote and ensure her safety after they succeeded. Ji Yunhe was half-skeptical, so Lin Haoqing had to reveal that Lin Canglan controlled the spiritual masterss and Elders with frost poison. Only by completely overthrowing him could Thousand Flower Valley gain peace. Ji Yunhe demanded that Lin Haoqing become the Valley Master, and she would take Chang Yi and leave far away. Lin Haoqing promised to consider it carefully.

Luo Jinsang rushed over, advising Ji Yunhe not to believe Lin Haoqing's words. She said the two of them couldn't possibly defeat Lin Canglan. Ji Yunhe was focused on rescuing Chang Yi. She took Lin Haoqing to the sea of flowers to practice the Soul Locking Formation. The two of them worked together with great coordination. Ji Yunhe was worried about Chang Yi. She said goodbye to Lin Haoqing and hurried back.

Ji Yunhe brought Chang Yi to a dense forest where she had planted vegetables and fruits. She personally taught Chang Yi the skills needed to live on land. Ji Yunhe roasted sweet potatoes and shared them with Chang Yi. After settling Chang Yi, Ji Yunhe went to find Lin Haoqing late at night to practice the formation. Before leaving, she also asked Luo Jinsang to take good care of Chang Yi.

Late at night, Lin Haoqing came to apologize to Lin Canglan and also brought him a cough remedy. Taking the opportunity, he checked his pulse and found Lin Canglan's spiritual power was very weak. Lin Canglan picked up the remedy and drank it all in one gulp. He gave Lin Haoqing a bottle of medicine for external injuries. As Lin Haoqing was leaving, Lin Canglan suddenly called out to him but then stopped, hesitant to speak.

Because Lin Canglan had been severely injured by a heavy blow from the Azurefeather Divine Bird, he suddenly coughed up blood. Lin Canglan knew his time was running out. He wanted to temper Lin Haoqing to become stronger so he could face the true enemy. And he himself was Lin Haoqing's final whetstone. Afterwards, Lin Canglan sent Qing Shu to summon Ji Yunhe, continuing to transfer spiritual power into her, wanting her to keep tempering Lin Haoqing.

Lin Haoqing was hiding outside the door and saw everything clearly. Ji Yunhe went to the sea of flowers every night to practice formations with Lin Haoqing. Chang Yi became suspicious of Ji Yunhe's whereabouts and quietly followed her. However, he was stopped by Luo Jinsang. Chang Yi gave Luo Jinsang many pearls, tempting her to reveal Ji Yunhe's whereabouts. Chang Yi rushed to the sea of flowers and happened to see Ji Yunhe bandaging Lin Haoqing's wound.

Chang Yi quickly stepped forward to stop them. Ji Yunhe repeatedly explained and revealed her and Lin Haoqing's plan completely. Chang Yi wanted to lend Ji Yunhe a hand, but Ji Yunhe didn't want him to take risks. However, Chang Yi's mind was made up, so Ji Yunhe had no choice but to agree. Ji Yunhe gave Chang Yi a new set of clothes, which he liked very much.

He didn't want Ji Yunhe to get too close to Lin Haoqing, and even forbade her from using head-pats to ease Lin Haoqing's pain. He said Qu Xiaoxing and Luo Jinsang couldn't do it either. Ji Yunhe knew he was jealous and promised to only give head-pats to him.

Episode 11 Recap

Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe practiced the Soul Locking Formation well and agreed to carry out their plan three days later when Envoy Zhang visits. All of this was within Lin Canglan's control. Lin Canglan was on high alert and had prepared himself for death, so that Lin Haoqing could smoothly take the position of Valley Master. Lin Canglan also returned the elixir to Qing Shu, allowing her to go back and reunite with her brother.

Chang Yi wanted to participate in the plan. Ji Yunhe sought Lin Haoqing's opinion, and he readily agreed. He came to talk to Ji Yunhe alone. Chang Yi was very jealous, repeatedly reminding Ji Yunhe to finish the conversation quickly, and he waited outside the door. Lin Haoqing saw that Ji Yunhe had packed her luggage, ready to leave Thousand Flower Valley at any time.

He was reluctant to let her go, earnestly trying to persuade Ji Yunhe to stay, worried that Chang Yi couldn't give her the life she wanted. However, Ji Yunhe was determined to be with Chang Yi, willing to spend her life with him. Lin Haoqing was heartbroken and didn't want to say more, wanting to confess his feelings to Ji Yunhe after accomplishing the important task. In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Envoy Zhang led a large group to Thousand Flower Valley. Lin Canglan took out the immortal pearl made from Chang Yi's severed tail, asking him to help pass it on to Fairy Shunde Ru Ling, promising to train Chang Yi well as soon as possible. Envoy Zhang was very satisfied and also gave him this time's share of the profits. Qu Xiaoxing hurriedly came to report that Ji Yunhe had invited Qing Shu to discuss important matters.

Lin Canglan knew that Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe were about to take action and calmly told Qing Shu to go to the appointment. Qing Shu came to the sea of flowers, where Chang Yi, Lin Haoqing, and Ji Yunhe surrounded her. She was not afraid, speaking harshly to Lin Haoqing and taking the opportunity to use the Yin Soul Needle to attack Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi took action in time to fight back, desperately protecting Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe and Lin Haoqing used the Soul Locking Formation to tightly bind Qing Shu, and also gave her a drug made from Luo Jinsang's wing scale powder. Ji Yunhe discovered that Chang Yi was injured and asked Luo Jinsang to take him back to bandage the wound.

Qing Shu saw that Ji Yunhe was very concerned about Chang Yi and deliberately used aggressive tactics to anger Lin Haoqing, trying to provoke the relationship between Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe, but Lin Haoqing didn't care at all. Lin Canglan prepared generous gifts to send Envoy Zhang away. Qu Xiaoxing saw Lin Canglan return to the inner hall and hurried to report to Lin Haoqing, telling him to take the opportunity to retrieve the antidote.

Lin Haoqing steeled himself to see Lin Canglan, clearly stating that Qing Shu had been captured, forcing Lin Canglan to hand over the antidote, and also to let him take over as the Valley Master of Thousand Flower Valley. Lin Haoqing promised to find him a quiet place to live out his days. Lin Canglan forced Lin Haoqing to kill him, otherwise, he would eventually lose his position.

Lin Canglan forced Lin Haoqing to attack him, repeatedly claiming that only ruthlessness can accomplish great things. Just as Lin Haoqing was about to make a move, Lin Canglan suddenly stood up from the wheelchair and kicked Lin Haoqing away. Lin Haoqing was immediately dumbfounded. He never expected that Lin Canglan had deceived everyone by pretending to be crippled, and that Lin Canglan had known their plan all along, waiting for him to take the bait.

Lin Canglan admitted to this, he just wanted to see what Lin Haoqing could do, but he didn't expect him to be so disappointing. Lin Canglan was very disappointed. Ji Yunhe earnestly tried to persuade Qing Shu not to be obsessed and to leave Lin Canglan as soon as possible. Qing Shu was willing to follow Lin Canglan for many years, just wanting to help him fulfill his wish. For this, she also suppressed her feelings for Lin Canglan.

Ji Yunhe scoffed at her. Qing Shu suddenly broke free and controlled Ji Yunhe. Only then did Ji Yunhe realize that she had fallen into a trap. Qing Shu didn't kill Ji Yunhe, but frankly said that Ji Yunhe was very important to the Valley Master, and everything she did was to help the Valley Master complete his great cause. Lin Haoqing wanted to go back to save Ji Yunhe but was subdued by Lin Canglan on the spot.

He knelt on the ground, begging Lin Canglan to let Ji Yunhe go. Lin Canglan forced Lin Haoqing to choose between him and Ji Yunhe, only one of them could live. Lin Haoqing drew his sword and stabbed Lin Canglan, but in the end, he couldn't do it. Lin Canglan was very disappointed in him, berating him for being soft-hearted and useless.

But at the moment of life and death, Lin Haoqing was able to stick to his bottom line, which Lin Canglan could never do in his life, and also made him deeply gratified. Lin Canglan suddenly had a frost attack, and his body began to freeze instantly. Lin Haoqing opened his collar and found that a frost flower was also carved on the back of Lin Canglan's neck.

He had always thought that Lin Canglan had applied the frost poison, but he didn't expect it to be someone else. Lin Haoqing wanted to use his spiritual power to save him, but Lin Canglan was too deeply poisoned, and even the antidote could not save his life. Lin Canglan repeatedly explained that the reason he used Ji Yunhe to temper Lin Haoqing was to make Lin Haoqing stronger so that he could deal with the real enemy.

After saying these words, Lin Canglan completely froze to death. Qing Shu then rushed back. She picked up the stiff Lin Canglan, asking Lin Haoqing to open the secret room behind him. After that she understood everything and could understand Lin Canglan's good intentions. Qing Shu took out the Valley Master's token from Lin Canglan's arms, and then took out her own spiritual elixir and completely destroyed it. She accompanied Lin Canglan to death.

Lin Haoqing wanted to stop her but it was too late. Ji Yunhe came in and saw this scene, she was immediately dumbfounded. The Azurefeather Divine Bird was drowning her sorrows with alcohol every day, living a life of drunken stupor. Li Shu's soul suddenly appeared, desperately trying to make the Azurefeather Divine Bird happy, begging her to release Xue Sanyue.

Xue Sanyue was trapped in the cave, she racked her brains to break through the barrier, wanting to go out and challenge the Azurefeather Divine Bird, but all her efforts were in vain. Li Shu saw her like this and sighed in his heart. Li Shu came to beg the Azurefeather Divine Bird again, promising to stay by her side wholeheartedly.

Only then did the Azurefeather Divine Bird reluctantly agree, also promising to help Li Shu restore his human form as soon as possible. Xue Sanyue woke up and saw a bowl of soup on the table. Li Shu had made this kind of soup for her before. Xue Sanyue hurriedly ran out to find someone. The Azurefeather Divine Bird had been waiting for a long time.

Xue Sanyue knew that she was not her opponent and decided to give up the challenge. The Azurefeather Divine Bird told her to go to Daiyu to find immortal herbs, which might help Li Shu restore his human form. The Azurefeather Divine Bird kicked Xue Sanyue down the mountain. Xue Sanyue vaguely saw Li Shu. Li Shu advised her to live well. Xue Sanyue's tears could not help but flow down. Ji Yunhe was puzzled.

She couldn't understand Lin Canglan and Qing Shu's actions before their deaths, and she didn't know what important things they were planning. Lin Haoqing used the token to open the secret room and saw a box of antidote inside, as well as Lin Canglan's handwritten letter.

Lin Canglan reminded him not to be soft-hearted again, to use Ji Yunhe to revitalize the Lin clan, and also explained that the frost poison came from Thousand Flower Valley, but he did not administer it.

Episode 12 Recap

Lin Canglan's sudden death caused rumors to spread throughout Thousand Flower Valley. Lin Haoqing locked himself in the inner hall, refusing to come out or see anyone. Qu Xiaoxing was at a loss and had to ask Ji Yunhe for help. Ji Yunhe, with Chang Yi's consent, personally went to persuade Lin Haoqing.

Ji Yunhe appealed to Lin Haoqing with reason and emotion, promising that she would stay with him and help him through this difficult time as long as he needed her. Only then did Lin Haoqing open the door to see her. Ji Yunhe wanted to get the antidote as soon as possible and take Chang Yi away from Thousand Flower Valley. Lin Haoqing asked her to leave after attending his succession ceremony, and Ji Yunhe readily agreed.

Today was the day Lin Haoqing officially became the Valley Master. The spiritual masterss and Elders all came to attend the ceremony. Lin Haoqing completely changed from his usual gentle and kind demeanor. He was stern and decisive, and Ji Yunhe felt as if she was seeing another Lin Canglan. After the ceremony, Ji Yunhe bid farewell to Lin Haoqing.

Lin Haoqing suddenly changed his mind, asking Ji Yunhe to stay and saying that he would hand over the merman Chang Yi to Fairy Shunde. Ji Yunhe cursed at Lin Haoqing furiously. Lin Haoqing ordered her to be locked up and not allowed to leave Thousand Flower Valley by even half a step. At the same time, Qu Xiaoxing led people to capture Chang Yi.

Chang Yi firmly refused, but Qu Xiaoxing reminded him not to resist and to think of Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi had no choice but to surrender. Ji Yunhe used all her spiritual power and finally broke through the barrier set by Lin Haoqing. She rushed to the Cave of Reflection to save Chang Yi, but found that he was not there at all. Ji Yunhe repeatedly pressed Qu Xiaoxing, but could not find out Chang Yi's whereabouts.

Ji Yunhe had no choice but to confront Lin Haoqing and force him to release Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing took Ji Yunhe to the secret chamber and showed her the letter left by Lin Canglan. Only then did Ji Yunhe learn that the Immortal Master forced Lin Canglan to administer the frost poison to those who sought refuge in Thousand Flower Valley, which is why Envoy Zhang was sent regularly with the antidote.

Lin Canglan had pretended to surrender to the Immortal Master back then, secretly searching for a way to break the frost poison. He discovered that the combined power of Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals could control the frost poison, so he collaborated with Qing Shu to find people for trials. As a result, those people died one after another, and only Ji Yunhe survived.

Lin Canglan wanted to use Ji Yunhe to break the frost poison and completely escape the Immortal Master's control, and then revive the Lin clan. Ji Yunhe was furious when she learned the truth, gnashing her teeth, never expecting Lin Canglan to treat her as an experiment. Ji Yunhe suddenly had a frost attack. Lin Haoqing gave her an antidote and advised her to leave Chang Yi.

If she insisted on staying with Chang Yi, she would live for at most another month. This was because there were two conflicting spiritual powers within Ji Yunhe; she would either break through the frost poison's limitation or her meridians would be completely severed, leaving no hope of survival. At this time, Fairy Shunde Ru Ling brought people to Thousand Flower Valley to witness the progress of taming the merman herself.

Qu Xiaoxing hurriedly reported to Lin Haoqing, and Lin Haoqing brought Ji Yunhe to meet Ru Ling. Ru Ling wanted to give the merman as a gift to the Immortal Master when he came out of seclusion. Ru Ling claimed she was traveling around Thousand Flower Valley and wanted Chang Yi to accompany her. Chang Yi was very resistant.

Ji Yunhe used the excuse that Chang Yi was unwell after his tail was severed and was not suitable for long journeys. Ru Ling was enraged and forced Lin Haoqing to punish Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing reminded Ji Yunhe not to resist, but Ru Ling was relentless and struck ruthlessly at Ji Yunhe, forcing her to give Chang Yi orders. Ji Yunhe refused to obey, even if it meant death.

Lin Haoqing and the Elders knelt together to plead for Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi knelt down and admitted his mistake. Ji Chengyu, a disciple of the Immortal Master Mansion, rushed over upon hearing the news and pleaded with Ru Ling to grant a few days' extension. Ru Ling agreed to let it go for her senior brother's sake, promising to give Ji Yunhe ten more days.

Before leaving, she also warned Ji Yunhe to keep a close watch on Chang Yi, or she would not be lenient. After Ru Ling left with her people, Ji Chengyu returned to find Ji Yunhe. He briefly recounted his own experience; he once had a like-minded immortal attendant who disappeared without a trace after being taken by the Immortal Master.

Ji Chengyu advised Ji Yunhe to focus on taming the merman and not to develop feelings for Chang Yi, otherwise she would also experience the pain of separation. Ji Yunhe secretly resolved to save Chang Yi even if it cost her life. She came to the Cave of Reflection and promised to quickly remove the barrier on him so that Chang Yi could escape far away. Chang Yi insisted on leaving with her.

Ji Yunhe vowed that she would definitely escape safely and asked Chang Yi to take out his merman pearl first, in case of need. Chang Yi had already used his power to permanently leave the merman pearl within Ji Yunhe. He wanted to advance and retreat with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe angrily turned around and left. Ji Yunhe knew she was cornered and did not want to implicate Chang Yi.

She secretly swore to send Chang Yi away, otherwise, if Ru Ling found out that Chang Yi didn't have the merman pearl, his life would be in danger. Lin Haoqing revealed the news that Ji Yunhe didn't have long to live to Luo Jinsang and Qu Xiaoxing. Luo Jinsang was very sad, but Ji Yunhe didn't care at all. Instead, she begged them to help save Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing watched everything clearly from the side.

Chang Yi refused to eat or drink out of stubbornness. Luo Jinsang brought him food and advised him not to wait for Ji Yunhe, but Chang Yi did not listen at all. Ji Yunhe refused to see Chang Yi for eight days straight. Chang Yi had no choice but to ask Ji Chengyu for help. He wanted to meet Fairy Shunde Ru Ling in person.

Episode 13 Recap

Ji Chengyu brought Chang Yi to meet Fairy Shunde Ru Ling. Chang Yi insisted on waiting for Ji Yunhe to express his thoughts, so Ru Ling had to send Ji Chengyu to call Ji Yunhe. To please Ru Ling, Chang Yi sang her a "Merman's Song." Ru Ling was deeply moved by his melodious voice and promised to grant him a wish. Ji Yunhe knew Chang Yi sang this song for her.

Chang Yi requested Ru Ling to release Ji Yunhe and promised to follow her back to Lutai Mountain and enter the Immortal Master Mansion. Ru Ling was worried about potential complications and wanted to get Chang Yi's merman pearl first. Chang Yi clearly stated that the merman pearl was the most precious thing to a merman and could only be taken out on an auspicious day.

Moreover, the merman pearl is the most valuable possession of a merman and cannot be given away easily. If given to another, it represents the deepest affection of the merman race, never to be taken back, and also signifies a lifelong devotion. This further aroused Ru Ling's curiosity. Ji Yunhe heard Chang Yi's words from outside the door and left without saying anything.

Ji Yunhe was worried that if Ru Ling discovered that Chang Yi's merman pearl was missing, it would bring about his death. Ji Yunhe came to Lin Haoqing for help, asking him to release Chang Yi on the way to Lutai Mountain. If Ru Ling discovered this, Ji Yunhe was willing to bear all guilt. Lin Haoqing was anxious and angry, never expecting Ji Yunhe would disregard her life for Chang Yi's safety, but Ji Yunhe's mind was made up.

Ji Yunhe had always wanted freedom throughout her life; she did not obtain it. But if Chang Yi could regain his lost freedom, then the final value of her life would be to fulfill Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe did not want to implicate Luo Jinsang and asked her to leave Thousand Flower Valley as soon as possible to start her new life. Luo Jinsang wanted to advance and retreat together with Ji Yunhe.

To welcome the Immortal Master's exit from seclusion, Ru Ling left Thousand Flower Valley with her people first, instructing Envoy Zhang to escort Chang Yi back tomorrow morning. Envoy Zhang brought his people to the Cave of Reflection overnight to shackle Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe arrived in time to stop him, forbidding him to bind Chang Yi. Envoy Zhang completely disregarded her and even spoke harshly to Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi, angered, used his power to knock Envoy Zhang down.

Envoy Zhang was furious. Ji Chengyu arrived in time to mediate, and Envoy Zhang finally left disgruntled with his people. Ji Yunhe wanted to take Chang Yi for a walk around Thousand Flower Valley. Ji Chengyu knew Ru Ling had left a spiritual charm on Chang Yi, making it impossible for him to escape, so he agreed to Ji Yunhe's request. Ji Yunhe took Chang Yi to the sea of flowers. The two talked heart-to-heart.

Ji Yunhe knew she could not fulfill the merman's wish of one life, one partner forever, wishing only to cherish this time together. Ji Yunhe wanted to accompany Chang Yi to properly travel through the beautiful human world on the way to Lutai Mountain. Chang Yi naturally couldn't have been happier. Envoy Zhang arrived early in the morning to escort Chang Yi on the journey.

Ji Yunhe used the excuse of wanting to select some rare treasures for Ru Ling and wanted to take a detour through the human world. Envoy Zhang strongly disagreed, fearing complications. Ji Chengyu fully supported Ji Yunhe, so he had to yield. Xue Sanyue was kicked down the mountain by the Qingyu Luan Bird. She rushed day and night towards Daiyu, hoping to find herbs to restore Li Shu's human form as soon as possible.

Xue Sanyue suddenly saw a couple from the Mountain Cat tribe catching fire mice and chased after them relentlessly, quickly cornering them in a dead end. The Mountain Cat couple quickly knelt and begged for mercy. Xue Sanyue then remembered she was no longer a person of Thousand Flower Valley and let them go. Xue Sanyue was penniless, coupled with hunger.

As she was at a loss, the Mountain Cat couple invited her to stay temporarily and specially cooked her fish soup. Seeing the couple's loving relationship, Xue Sanyue could not help but recall her past intimate moments with Li Shu, feeling a mix of emotions. She lifted the fish soup and drank it in one gulp, then hastily bade farewell and left. Envoy Zhang led the team towards Lutai Mountain.

Ji Chengyu frequently requested stops to rest, covering for Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi to travel through the human world. They enjoyed themselves so much they often forgot to return to the team. Luo Jinsang, Qu Xiaoxing, and Lin Haoqing did their best to cover for them, allowing them to narrowly deceive Envoy Zhang repeatedly.

Chang Yi came to the human world for the first time, his eyes dazzled and deeply attracted by the prosperity and liveliness of the human world. Chang Yi liked a waist pendant. The vendor insisted he buy a pair. Ji Yunhe immediately bought all the waist pendants and gave them to passersby. Following that, Ji Yunhe bought everything else Chang Yi liked. Qu Xiaoxing and Luo Jinsang waited anxiously, but Ji Yunhe did not bring Chang Yi back.

Envoy Zhang noticed something was wrong and secretly eavesdropped, only to find out Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi had not returned. He relentlessly questioned Ji Yunhe's whereabouts. Ji Yunhe arrived back in time, claiming she had taken Chang Yi to gather mountain delicacies. Envoy Zhang didn't believe her and opened the brocade box to see for himself. As a result, he was stung by the bees inside and fled in embarrassment.

Ji Yunhe's frost attack flared up, and her body gradually weakened. She endured it, not wanting Chang Yi to find out. Lin Haoqing gave her a tonic and went to find ways to alleviate Ji Yunhe's pain. Ji Yunhe knew her time was limited; she cherished every single moment with Chang Yi. Envoy Zhang led the team quickly to the foot of Lutai Mountain. Ji Yunhe would part with Chang Yi tomorrow.

She took Chang Yi to the mountain top and confessed that she liked the human world the most, envying the casual authenticity of mortals. Seeing mortals celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang Yi was very interested. Ji Yunhe took Chang Yi to enjoy the lantern display. Ji Chengyu reminded them to return before midnight. The streets were very lively, people taking to the streets to enjoy the lanterns. Ji Yunhe took Chang Yi to taste pickled garlic.

A little girl named Duo Duo gave Chang Yi a flower and took him to fish for goldfish. The vendor gave red strings to those who caught a fish. Chang Yi wanted to use a red string to keep Ji Yunhe and encouraged her to fish. But she couldn't get the hang of it at all. Chang Yi used his power to gather all the goldfish under Ji Yunhe's fishing hook. She caught a fish without any effort.

Episode 14 Recap

Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi came to the wishing tree. Chang Yi learned that writing down a wish and hanging it on the tree might make it come true. He immediately wrote, "May the person I love live the rest of her life safe, happy, and joyful." Ji Yunhe asked him to read it aloud for the immortals in the sky to hear. Chang Yi obediently did as told.

Ji Yunhe also read it aloud once, secretly praying in her heart for Chang Yi to live the rest of his life safe and healthy. Lin Haoqing saw this scene from afar and swore to protect Ji Yunhe. Fireworks bloomed in the sky. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi watched the fireworks together, enjoying the sweet moments they shared. At this moment, Qu Xiaoxing quietly walked past Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe knew that Lin Haoqing had arranged everything.

She took Chang Yi to a small wooden cabin in the woods. Lin Haoqing and Qu Xiaoxing had already decorated it. Ji Yunhe wanted to stay with Chang Yi here until midnight. Chang Yi gave her a scale and his merman pearl. He also took out a red string and tied one around each of their wrists. Ji Yunhe was touched that Chang Yi had kept the first gift she gave him – a conch shell.

This made her heart ache even more for Chang Yi's unconditional love for her. Ji Yunhe couldn't help but kiss Chang Yi, wishing they could meet earlier in their next life. The two stayed together, leaning on each other until midnight. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi said goodbye. Ji Yunhe made Chang Yi unconscious, settled him onto the bed, and set up a spiritual barrier in the room.

Ji Yunhe used all her spiritual power to help Chang Yi remove Ru Ling's restriction, then tearfully said goodbye to him. Ji Yunhe asked Lin Haoqing to take Chang Yi away. She wanted to go back alone to face the bloody storm. Lin Haoqing worried that Chang Yi wouldn't leave. Ji Yunhe knew that Chang Yi hated being deceived the most.

If Chang Yi knew that Ji Yunhe had been using him, he would be completely disheartened and leave with hatred. Luo Jinsang and Qu Xiaoxing arrived shortly after. They heard Ji Yunhe's words. Luo Jinsang wanted to live and die with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe didn't want to implicate her and wanted Luo Luo to live for herself from now on. Then she used her power to immobilize her and returned to the camp without looking back.

The guards discovered Chang Yi was gone and cried out in alarm. Ji Chengyu suspected Ji Yunhe had released Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe vehemently denied it. Ji Chengyu had no choice but to send people to search everywhere. Qu Xiaoxing used great effort to comfort Luo Jinsang and get her to sleep. Chang Yi suddenly woke up and found that Ji Yunhe was gone.

He was burning with anxiety, struggling desperately to break through the spiritual barrier to find Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing did not want to stand by and watch Ji Yunhe be tortured to death by Ru Ling, so he did not stop Chang Yi either. Chang Yi rushed back to the camp to find Ji Yunhe. To make him completely give up hope, Ji Yunhe repeatedly claimed that she had never loved Chang Yi and had only been using him.

She said she had now obtained the merman pearl, and Chang Yi had no more use value. Chang Yi was instantly stunned. The guards came upon hearing the news to arrest Chang Yi. Chang Yi used his power to knock them down onto the ground, grabbed Ji Yunhe, and ran. Lin Haoqing and Qu Xiaoxing were halfway there when they saw Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi being pursued. Chang Yi pulled Ji Yunhe to the mountain peak.

Before them was a bottomless abyss. Ji Yunhe urged Chang Yi to give up hope as soon as possible. Chang Yi didn't believe Ji Yunhe would betray him and was certain she had a hidden reason. Ji Yunhe said many heartless things and clearly stated that she had never been sincere towards Chang Yi. She raised a dagger and stabbed Chang Yi, and also cut off the red string on his wrist.

Ji Yunhe cruelly pushed Chang Yi off the cliff. Ji Chengyu arrived shortly after with his men. Ji Yunhe braced herself for a fight to the death with them. Ru Ling rushed over. Ji Yunhe wanted to kill her to avenge Chang Yi. Ru Ling sent Ji Chengyu down the cliff to search for Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe desperately blocked them, forbidding anyone from jumping off the cliff. She wanted to buy time for Chang Yi to survive.

While blocking them, Ji Yunhe's frost attack suddenly flared up. She forced herself to stand up. Ru Ling ordered volleys of arrows to be fired. Ji Yunhe dodged and weaved but eventually succumbed due to exhaustion. She was shot and covered in wounds. Ji Yunhe struggled to stand up. Ru Ling shot through her body. Ji Yunhe crouched there motionless. Ru Ling mistakenly thought she was dead and swore to grind her bones to dust and scatter her ashes.

Ji Yunhe suddenly jumped up. She transformed into a nine-tailed fox immortal and pressed closer towards Ru Ling. Ru Ling retreated in fear step by step, begging Ji Chengyu for help. As soon as Ji Chengyu rushed forward, he was knocked down by Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe used her power and struck Ru Ling, leaving her barely alive. Immortal Master Ning Qing suddenly arrived. He struck Ji Yunhe unconscious with one palm strike. Ji Yunhe's identity as neither immortal nor demon greatly interested him. Ning Qing sent Ji Chengyu to take Ji Yunhe back, forbidding him to tell anyone about this matter.

Episode 15 Recap

Lin Haoqing and Qu Xiaoxing stood on the opposite mountaintop, seeing Ning Qing take Ji Yunhe away from afar. Lin Haoqing secretly swore in his heart to rescue Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was imprisoned in the Congji Jail of Lutai Mountain. She woke up in a daze and heard the guards outside the door assigning tasks.

They were going down the cliff separately to search for Chang Yi's whereabouts and had also sealed off the news of her imprisonment on Lutai Mountain. Only then did Ji Yunhe realize she had been captured. She worried about Chang Yi's safety. After Chang Yi fell from the cliff, he was washed ashore by the current. His attendant, Luo Suo, happened to be sent out to find him and rescued the unconscious Chang Yi onto the shore.

Luo Suo discovered that Chang Yi had not only lost his tail but also his merman pearl, leaving him utterly distraught. Kong Ming from the Immortal Master Mansion came to find Chang Yi. He first helped stop the bleeding from his chest and told Luo Suo to take Chang Yi to a guesthouse in the town to hide.

Seeing that Ji Chengyu had brought disciples from the Immortal Master Mansion to search nearby, Kong Ming quickly went forward to cover Luo Suo and Chang Yi's escape. Ji Chengyu recognized his senior brother Kong Ming and sent everyone else away. Ji Chengyu saw bloodstains on the ground and guessed that he had seen Chang Yi.

Kong Ming admitted that he had let Chang Yi go and advised Ji Chengyu to give up as soon as possible, stating that he would never let anyone from the Immortal Master Mansion find Chang Yi. Ji Chengyu desperately pleaded with Kong Ming not to become an enemy of Immortal Master Ning Qing. Kong Ming did not want to hear him keep rambling and left in a huff without looking back. Ji Chengyu returned to report to Ning Qing.

Ning Qing already knew that he had let Kong Ming go. Ji Chengyu was so scared that he repeatedly admitted his mistake. Ning Qing did not pursue the matter further but reminded Ji Chengyu not to harbor any ill intentions, or he would follow in Kong Ming's footsteps. Ji Yunhe felt the merman pearl's aura within her body was peaceful and knew that Chang Yi was safe, which slightly eased her mind.

Ning Qing brought Ji Chengyu to see Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe openly challenged Ning Qing and even clamored for meat. Ning Qing readily agreed. Ji Yunhe pressed Ning Qing hard about his intentions in capturing her. Ning Qing knew she had let Chang Yi go and was very curious about her, wanting to see what other tricks she might have.

Ji Yunhe admitted it without hesitation, stating that she knew in advance there was a river below the cliff, which was why she deliberately pushed Chang Yi down to release him. Ning Qing discovered that Ji Yunhe's body contained spiritual power from both Celestial Immortals and Earth Immortals, which made him even more curious about her. Before leaving, he also instructed Ji Chengyu to take good care of Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe was well aware that she did not have much time left and wanted to enjoy her last moments. Ji Chengyu advised her not to provoke Ning Qing, so she would not be in mortal danger. Ji Yunhe had unspeakable bitterness in her heart. Ru Ling sent people everywhere to search for Chang Yi's whereabouts, but they all returned empty-handed. She was so furious that she raged and drove away Envoy Zhang and all the guards.

Heavenly King Ru Jun came to see his sister Ru Ling. He personally fed her the healing soup and advised her not to be impatient or fixated on capturing the merman. Ru Ling vented all her anger on him and shattered the medicine bowl in a fit of pique. Ning Qing hurried over upon hearing the news. Ru Ling instantly smiled broadly. Ning Qing personally played the zither to appease her.

Ru Ling was enchanted by the music, and the anger in her heart immediately vanished like smoke. Ru Jun wanted to take Ru Ling back to the Heavenly Court and find her a renowned master. Ning Qing was greatly angered and wanted to attack the Heavenly King. Fortunately, Master Lei Ze and Master Fei Lian arrived in time. Ning Qing used Ru Ling's unhealed injuries as an excuse for her to remain in the Immortal Master Mansion.

The Heavenly King did not want to entangle with him further and had no choice but to leave with Lei Ze and Fei Lian first. The Heavenly King became angrier the more he thought about it. He went under the Bodhi tree, wanting to retrieve the magical artifact left by his father to suppress Ning Qing and bring Ru Ling back to the Heavenly Court, but the artifact did not recognize him at all.

Master He Xu was napping behind the tree. He stretched, knocking over the chessboard in front of him. The pieces scattered among the human realm. Lei Ze and Fei Lian were greatly displeased; the pieces would turn into meteor showers, causing countless mortals to make wishes, keeping the two of them extremely busy. The Heavenly King wanted to play a game of chess with Master He Xu, hoping to find his own opportunity through it. Master He Xu readily agreed.

Kong Ming personally treated Chang Yi's injuries. Chang Yi gradually regained consciousness. Luo Suo wanted to quickly take him back to the East Sea to see the Merman King. Seeing the conch shell on the table, Chang Yi couldn't help but recall Ji Yunhe's heartlessness. He struggled to get up and returned to the wishing tree from earlier, taking down the wish strips from the tree and destroying them.

Kong Ming guessed that Chang Yi was troubled by love and took the opportunity to suggest joining forces with him against the Immortal Master Mansion. Chang Yi flatly refused. Kong Ming cursed him as a weakling hurt by love. Ji Yunhe dreamed that Chang Yi returned to the East Sea and had grown his merman tail back. Chang Yi hated her to the core.

Ji Yunhe was heartbroken, yet also relieved that Chang Yi had finally returned to where he belonged. The Heavenly King expressed his worries to Master He Xu. Back then, his father fought on the battlefield to protect the four seas and eight lands, not hesitating to return to primordial chaos when suppressing the Zhu Yan rebel army. Immortal Master Ning Qing harbored ambitions and had tricked his sister Ru Ling to the Immortal Master Mansion.

The Heavenly King wanted to bring his sister back, but his spiritual power was limited, and he was no match for Ning Qing. Master He Xu advised him not to worry, stating that the Heavenly King had an opportunity in the human realm, and when the time of destined gathering came, his wish would be fulfilled. The Heavenly King wanted to know when this destined gathering would arrive, but Master He Xu remained silent.

It turned out that while Master He Xu accompanied the Heavenly King on a trip to the human realm, they encountered Kong Ming who had left the Immortal Master Mansion. The Heavenly King encouraged Kong Ming to cheer up, and they thus formed a bond. Master He Xu had originally given Kong Ming a golden lotus, telling him to find the person of destiny.

Kong Ming had always believed that Chang Yi was his destined person, which was why he chose to stay by his side and protect him. Luo Jinsang wanted to go to the Immortal Master Mansion to rescue Ji Yunhe, but Qu Xiaoxing desperately tried to stop her. Lin Haoqing single-handedly broke into the Immortal Master Mansion, wanting to rescue Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe flatly refused, criticizing him for not having sent Chang Yi into the tiger's den.

Lin Haoqing did not want to explain too much and just wanted to get her out first. Ji Yunhe asked him to take good care of Luo Jinsang. Ning Qing suddenly arrived at the dungeon and knocked Lin Haoqing to the ground without a word. Lin Haoqing lied that he had just come to see Ji Yunhe and swore loyalty to Ning Qing. Ning Qing did not believe him at all, punished him, and forcefully drove him away. Ji Yunhe knew that the Immortal Master Mansion was heavily guarded and guessed that Ning Qing had deliberately allowed Lin Haoqing to enter. Ning Qing admitted this without denying it.

Episode 16 Recap

Lin Haoqing did not rescue Ji Yunhe and was injured by Immortal Master Ning Qing. He decided to return to Thousand Flower Valley. Luo Jinsang adamantly refused, wanting to stay at Lutai Mountain to continue rescuing Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing had no choice but to admit that Ji Yunhe was not willing to leave with him at all and asked him to take good care of Luo Jinsang. Luo Jinsang had no choice but to give up.

Lin Haoqing secretly swore in his heart to take Ji Yunhe away from here safely and soundly. Although Immortal Master Ning Qing ordered the news of Ji Yunhe's capture to be concealed, the matter of Lin Haoqing breaking into the Immortal Master Mansion to rescue her quickly reached Fairy Shunde's ears. She believed that Ji Yunhe must have said something to Immortal Master Ning Qing to save her life.

So she aggressively came to the Congji Jail and wanted to cast bone-chilling frost deep into Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe did not show weakness either, insisting that there was a secret between her and Ning Qing. Fairy Shunde was enraged by humiliation and implanted the frost into Ji Yunhe's body. Ji Yunhe once again revealed her Nine-tailed Fox form to counterattack. Immortal Master Ning Qing rushed over upon hearing the news and tied Ji Yunhe up.

Fairy Shunde, in a fit of pique, wanted to kill Ji Yunhe. Immortal Master Ning Qing did not agree and, after much persuasion, finally managed to send Fairy Shunde away. Ji Yunhe only wanted to die. Immortal Master Ning Qing discovered that Ji Yunhe had a Nine-tailed Fox elixir inside her body and also possessed dual-channel spiritual power of Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals, successfully neutralizing the frost.

Ji Yunhe did not expect that Lin Canglan's hundred years of painstaking effort on her cultivation had finally succeeded. Although her life was saved, she was now imprisoned and had broken the heart of her beloved Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe couldn't help but sneer. Fairy Shunde was deeply in love with Immortal Master Ning Qing. She did not expect that Ning Qing would unexpectedly chase her away for Ji Yunhe. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Envoy Zhang gently advised her and also brought a shimmering scale dress made from a merman's tail to coax her into happiness. Fairy Shunde decided to give Immortal Master Ning Qing a surprise tonight. Immortal Master Ning Qing woke up on time for the appointment. Fairy Shunde carefully dressed up and specifically put on the shimmering scale dress to dance and please Immortal Master Ning Qing. Ning Qing played the zither to accompany her. The two of them coordinated tacitly.

When the song ended, Fairy Shunde affectionately came to Immortal Master Ning Qing's side. Seeing that Fairy Shunde had changed out of her red dress and put on the shimmering scale dress, Ning Qing was furious. In a fit of rage, he smashed the zither on the ground and ripped off the shimmering scale dress. Fairy Shunde was so scared she repeatedly apologized.

Only then did Immortal Master Ning Qing realize he had gone a bit too far and desperately appeased Fairy Shunde. Fairy Shunde took the opportunity to ask Ning Qing the reason for keeping Ji Yunhe. Ning Qing explained that he was merely treating Ji Yunhe as a medicinal subject, and only then did Fairy Shunde feel slightly relieved. Lin Haoqing returned to Thousand Flower Valley.

He uncontrollably came to the sea of flowers, as if seeing the young Ji Yunhe, regretting that he had not rescued her. Fairy Shunde tortured Ji Yunhe in every way, but Ji Yunhe remained unharmed. Ji Yunhe knew very well in her heart that Fairy Shunde had not yet captured Chang Yi, so she mocked and ridiculed Fairy Shunde. Disregarding Ji Chengyu's obstruction, Fairy Shunde used her cruelest move to torture Ji Yunhe, but Ji Yunhe quickly recovered as before.

Immortal Master Ning Qing saw that Ji Yunhe was unharmed and only then discovered she had a merman pearl capable of healing wounds inside her body. Ji Yunhe suspected that Ning Qing and Fairy Shunde were colluding to plot against her, just wanting to verify the power of the merman pearl. Immortal Master Ning Qing vehemently denied it, stating he did not want to explain too much. After Kong Ming's careful treatment, Chang Yi's injuries gradually improved.

Luo Suo took him back to the East Sea. Envoy Zhang, with the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion, had already been waiting for a long time. Envoy Zhang was ordered to seal the East Sea and take Chang Yi back to hand over to Fairy Shunde. Chang Yi desperately resisted. Envoy Zhang claimed that the Merman King disobeyed orders and was disrespectful.

Fairy Shunde had issued twelve Immortal Master golden talismans, smashing the Merman King's immortal bones and breaking his immortal roots. Envoy Zhang took out the Merman King's merman pearl and threw it to Chang Yi. Just as Chang Yi wanted to reach out to catch it, suddenly a sharp sword pierced towards his chest. He tightly grabbed the sword tip. Envoy Zhang ordered Chang Yi's arrest, and Luo Suo used all his spiritual power to resist.

Chang Yi's back was heavily struck. The Merman King's meditation staff suddenly descended from the sky. Chang Yi swung the meditation staff and knocked Envoy Zhang and the Immortal Master Mansion disciples to the ground. Kong Ming arrived in time to help, discovered that Chang Yi's elixir was already shattered, and hurriedly rescued him and Luo Suo. Chang Yi dazedly dreamed of his father, the Merman King.

The Merman King handed the merman clan to him and promised to bless him. After much consideration, Chang Yi decided to join forces with Kong Ming against the Immortal Master Mansion. Kong Ming took out the golden lotus to verify again. Chang Yi knew that Kong Ming had been wanting to seek revenge against the Immortal Master Mansion for the past hundred years, but he was weak alone.

Chang Yi was determined to avenge the Merman King and bitterly pleaded with Kong Ming to take him. Only then did Kong Ming reluctantly agree. He wanted to go to North Abyss to open a gap, so he took Chang Yi and Luo Suo there. Chang Yi swore that one day he would reopen the East Sea and allow his clansmen to return to the world. This coincided with the Heavenly King's thoughts.

The Heavenly King knew his cultivation was insufficient and temporarily could not resist Immortal Master Ning Qing and Fairy Shunde. Master He Xu advised him not to worry. The Heavenly King decided to utilize the power of North Abyss. Lin Haoqing found out from the information left by his father Lin Canglan that Ji Yunhe had dual channels in her body and could transform into a Nine-tailed Fox in times of crisis to protect herself.

He knew that Ji Yunhe was safe and sound, and his heart was instantly relieved. He decided at all costs to save the people of Thousand Flower Valley who were suffering from the frost. Elder Liu Ying suffered a frost attack, and his life was in danger. Lin Haoqing used all his spiritual power but was helpless. Watching Elder Liu Ying turn to ashes and vanish, Lin Haoqing was heartbroken.

Fairy Shunde brought the Merman King's merman pearl to show off to Ji Yunhe, declaring that Chang Yi would never return to the East Sea and must hate Ji Yunhe to the core. Ji Yunhe was so angry her teeth gnashed and rushed up wanting to fight Fairy Shunde desperately. As a result, she was beaten black and blue. Ji Yunhe was heartbroken and bitterly pleaded with Fairy Shunde to spare Chang Yi. Fairy Shunde was very smug and walked away with a sneer.

Episode 17 Recap

After Elder Liu Ying died suddenly, everyone in Thousand Flower Valley felt unsafe. Lin Haoqing didn't want to just watch the people of Thousand Flower Valley have their lives taken one by one by the frost, so he had no choice but to wake up his close attendant Si Yu. At that time, Si Yu attacked and harmed Ji Yunhe.

Lin Haoqing, in a fit of anger, beat her back to her original form and then secretly hid her in the Spirit Snake Cave. Lin Haoqing truthfully recounted to Si Yu the predicament Thousand Flower Valley was facing. Si Yu was willing to replace Ji Yunhe as a test subject against the frost. Lin Haoqing didn't want her to make a futile sacrifice like Qing Shu.

He wanted to use the power of heaven and earth elixirs and stones instead of the power of Qiankun's two poles to open up the dual channels. Si Yu was wholeheartedly willing to lay down her life for Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing decided to let her see the light of day again tomorrow. Qu Xiaoxing came to find Lin Haoqing. Seeing Si Yu resurrected, he was very surprised.

Lin Haoqing didn't explain too much and sent him to announce the news of Si Yu's return to Thousand Flower Valley. Lin Haoqing didn't understand why his father forced him to make choices in the past. Now that he was the Valley Master, only then did he understand that when facing responsibility, one had to make choices. Kong Ming took Chang Yi and Luo Suo and hurried day and night towards North Abyss.

He helped Chang Yi heal his injuries whenever he had time and also had to avoid the pursuit of Lutai Mountain disciples. Kong Ming made many friends along the way, but still couldn't find a way to help Chang Yi repair his elixir. Kong Ming instructed Chang Yi not to easily take action lest he consume his spiritual power. Fairy Shunde sent people everywhere to look for Chang Yi, but all returned without success.

She vented all her anger on Ji Yunhe, torturing her in every way. Deep brand marks were scalded onto Ji Yunhe's arms. She vowed to die rather than yield, turning her longing for Chang Yi into motivation. Ji Chengyu reminded Ji Yunhe to be wary of Fairy Shunde, but Ji Yunhe didn't care at all. Kong Ming, Chang Yi, and Luo Suo headed north all the way.

They arrived at the territory of the Fox King Qing Xuan, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Lingshuang Platform. Lingshuang Platform was Fairy Shunde's territory. Platform Master Zhu Ling was absolutely loyal to Fairy Shunde, coupled with the strategically difficult terrain here, easy to defend but hard to attack, so Kong Ming didn't dare to force their way in and wanted to form an alliance with the Qingqiu Fox King Qing Xuan.

Chang Yi firmly believed Qing Xuan could lend them a hand. Zhu Ling, relying on his profound spiritual power, often led people to ambush the nearby Qingqiu Fox Clan. The Fox Clan was beaten and displaced, filled with grievances. On this day, Zhu Ling heard that members of the Fox Clan were active nearby and immediately led people to encircle and suppress them, forcing them to hand over their elixirs.

The fox maiden Qing Yao charged forward, covering her companions' retreat. Kong Ming, Chang Yi, and Luo Suo passed by this way and saw from a distance that Zhu Ling was relentlessly pressing Qing Yao with deadly moves. Chang Yi took action to save her. Kong Ming told the two of them to go first, while he knocked Zhu Ling to the ground.

Qing Yao suspected Chang Yi was a spy sent by Zhu Ling and was full of hostility towards him. Qing Yao's cousin Qi Feng quickly arrived with people to provide support and even captured Luo Suo as a hostage. Only then did Chang Yi realize Qing Yao was Qing Xuan's daughter. Qi Feng had seen the wanted poster's portrait and recognized Chang Yi at a glance, ordering him to be captured and presented to Fairy Shunde. Qing Yao firmly refused.

Qi Feng wanted to use Chang Yi as a bargaining chip to exchange for the safety of his clansmen. He rushed over to capture Chang Yi. Qing Yao desperately tried to stop him. Kong Ming arrived in time to help Chang Yi out of the predicament. Fairy Shunde sent Envoy Zhang to gather all the condemned immortals Ji Yunhe had once tamed, wanting them to retaliate against Ji Yunhe together. Among them were Guhuo Bird and others.

They not only didn't hate Ji Yunhe, but were instead deeply grateful to her. They pretended to lecture Ji Yunhe, but actually secretly helped her. Fairy Shunde's plot fell apart on its own. Qing Yao settled Chang Yi, Kong Ming, and Luo Suo in a very hidden mountain cave and also brought spiritual elixirs and wonderful medicine for Chang Yi.

Chang Yi explained his purpose for coming, wanting to form an alliance with Qing Xuan to capture Lingshuang Platform, and thus destroy the Immortal Master Mansion. Only then did he learn that Qing Xuan was imprisoned by Zhu Ling at Lingshuang Platform to protect his clansmen. Qing Yao couldn't make the decision alone and wanted to go back and discuss it with her clansmen.

Through the unremitting efforts of the Qing Yu Luan Bird, Li Shu's human form had recovered about eighty to ninety percent and would be fully completed with a little more time. Li Shu wanted to quickly transform back into human form and reunite with Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue went through a lot of trouble and finally retrieved the immortal herb from Daiyu, and immediately handed it to the Qing Yu Luan Bird.

The Qing Yu Luan Bird used the immortal herb to help Li Shu recover his human form. Li Shu learned that Xue Sanyue was in the cave and hurried over to find her. Seeing Xue Sanyue shivering all over from a frost attack, Li Shu used his spiritual power to transfer the cold energy into himself and then quietly left. Li Shu consumed most of his spiritual power, his physical strength gradually gave out, and he finally fainted in front of the Qing Yu Luan Bird's door.

Episode 18 Recap

Xue Sanyue gradually woke up. She found that she was not frozen solid. Vaguely, she remembered that Li Shu had saved her. Xue Sanyue decided to return to Thousand Flower Valley to find the antidote. The Qing Yu Luan Bird cast a spell on Li Shu, restoring his spiritual power to its original state. Li Shu learned that Xue Sanyue had returned to Thousand Flower Valley and chased after her immediately. The condemned immortals were locked up in the Cijisup.

To deceive others, they pretended to torture Ji Yunhe in every possible way, and even deliberately let out mournful screams. The guards of the Cijisup believed it to be true and reported it truthfully to Fairy Shunde. Ji Yunhe cultivated diligently. She was always worried about Chang Yi who was outside. Even if Chang Yi hated her to the bone, she still wanted to protect his safety.

But Ji Yunhe was always unable to gather the spiritual power within her body. She was burning with anxiety. Guhuo Bird gave her some pointers from the side, and Ji Yunhe benefited greatly. Fairy Shunde heard that Ji Yunhe was being tortured to the point of death and was very happy.

When she heard that Chang Yi had not been captured yet, she immediately became furious and sent Envoy Zhang to notify Zhu Ling at Lingshuang Platform, ordering him to capture Chang Yi within three days no matter what, or everyone would be punished. Fairy Shunde also ordered Thousand Flower Valley to send people to reinforce. Thousand Flower Valley and Lingshuang Platform had always been at odds.

Lin Haoqing knew that Zhu Ling was not a kind person, but he did not dare to defy Fairy Shunde's order, so he could only ask Qu Xiaoxing to send people to Lingshuang Platform. Luo Jinsang accidentally overheard Qu Xiaoxing arranging for people to capture Chang Yi. She gritted her teeth in anger and rushed up to argue with Qu Xiaoxing. Qu Xiaoxing advised her to calm down.

Luo Jinsang cursed Lin Haoqing for being weak, not daring to save Ji Yunhe, yet wanting to capture Chang Yi, and now even saving Si Yu. Qu Xiaoxing repeatedly explained that Lin Haoqing was trying to find a way to save Ji Yunhe, but the time was not right. Luo Jinsang did not buy it at all. Qu Xiaoxing did not want to explain too much and quickly found an excuse to run away.

Zhu Ling received Fairy Shunde's order and commanded his men to dig three feet deep to capture Chang Yi, and also arrested the people from Thousand Flower Valley. Xue Sanyue, covered in dust, returned to Thousand Flower Valley. She sneaked into the inner hall and overheard Lin Haoqing and Si Yu discussing the antidote for the frost in the secret chamber. She quietly hid.

The more Luo Jinsang thought about it, the angrier she became and decided to investigate herself to see what Lin Haoqing was up to. After Lin Haoqing and Si Yu left, Xue Sanyue opened the door to the secret chamber. She searched carefully inside and finally found a few pills of antidote. Lin Haoqing sensed someone had sneaked into the secret chamber, so he returned with Si Yu.

Seeing Xue Sanyue holding the only remaining antidote pills and about to leave, he forced her to hand them over. Those were the antidotes Lin Haoqing obtained by impersonating the deceased Elder Liu Ying. Xue Sanyue firmly refused, and the two of them started fighting. Xue Sanyue gradually fell behind. Luo Jinsang arrived in time to help Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue took the opportunity to slip away. Lin Haoqing chased after her relentlessly.

Li Shu suddenly appeared and blocked Lin Haoqing's path. Lin Haoqing had no choice but to leave with his men. He sent Si Yu to lock up Luo Jinsang. Xue Sanyue fled back to Leyou Mountain, and due to the onset of the frost, she fainted on the ground again. Li Shu fed her an antidote pill. The Qing Yu Luan Bird saw everything. Chang Yi voluntarily offered himself as bait to design an exchange for Qing Xuan.

Qing Yao naturally was overjoyed. They made meticulous arrangements. Guhuo Bird hand-in-hand taught Ji Yunhe to master the Yin Soul Needle. Due to limited time, she could only maintain it for the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn. Ji Chengyu secretly came to see Ji Yunhe, bringing her cool clothes made of special materials, and also revealed that he had reported to Ning Qing, and these condemned immortals would soon be released.

Qing Yao brought Chang Yi to negotiate with Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling agreed to meet tomorrow, planning to take the opportunity to capture them all. He immediately reported to Fairy Shunde. Fairy Shunde decided to personally go to Lingshuang Platform to capture Chang Yi. Xue Sanyue woke up groggily, finding herself in a mountain cave, mistakenly thinking that the Qing Yu Luan Bird had saved her. Li Shu finally woke up.

The Qing Yu Luan Bird scolded him severely, warning him not to consume his spiritual power again, otherwise, he would turn into ashes once more. Li Shu was willing to sacrifice everything for Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue suddenly came to find the Qing Yu Luan Bird. Li Shu was startled and quickly hid. Xue Sanyue smelled the fragrance of wisteria flowers in the room. Li Shu had once mixed this fragrance.

She confirmed that Li Shu had been revived by the Qing Yu Luan Bird. She wanted to go in and look for him. The Qing Yu Luan Bird quickly stopped her. She could only leave dejectedly. Qing Yao came to the appointment tied up with Chang Yi. Zhu Ling arrived afterward. Qing Yao handed over Chang Yi. Suddenly, someone attacked Chang Yi. Chang Yi fought back and then safely withdrew.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ling had already ambushed many people and had no intention of exchanging the Fox King. Then Zhu Ling surrounded Chang Yi and others. Fairy Shunde suddenly descended from the sky and ordered Chang Yi to be captured. Chang Yi fought back desperately. Kong Ming arrived at the sparsely guarded Lingshuang Platform, used the Immortal Capture Formation to subdue all the guards, and took full control of Lingshuang Platform.

Fairy Shunde was stunned, not expecting that Chang Yi and Kong Ming used a feint to occupy Lingshuang Platform. Chang Yi forced Fairy Shunde into a desperate situation, swearing to kill her. Fairy Shunde threatened him by mentioning Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi repeatedly claimed that he hated Ji Yunhe to the bone. Fairy Shunde couldn't help but laugh heartily, mocking and slandering Chang Yi, and even talked about torturing Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi was enraged and delivered a deadly blow.

Envoy Zhang used his body to shield Fairy Shunde and was pierced through the body by Chang Yi's long sword. Zhu Ling and Qing Yao were fighting together. Qing Yao urgently wanted to rescue the Fox King. Chang Yi arrived in time to help, knocking Zhu Ling to the ground and releasing the spiritual elixirs of the captured Fox Clan members. Qing Yao called on the Fox Clan to rise up in resistance.

They chanted the slogans "Kill Zhu Ling, destroy Fairy Shunde, save the Fox King, protect North Abyss!" The Fox Clan members were unstoppable. Fairy Shunde and Zhu Ling were both stunned.

Episode 19 Recap

Fairy Shunde Ru Ling was forced into a desperate situation by Chang Yi. She loudly called out to her master, Immortal Master Ning Qing, to save her life. Immortal Master Ning Qing used his power at the Immortal Master Mansion to save Fairy Shunde and Zhu Ling and bring them back. Chang Yi used all his spiritual power to fight against Immortal Master Ning Qing. In the end, he was defeated due to lack of physical strength.

The spiritual elixir within his body was severely damaged. The powerful force generated by Immortal Master Ning Qing's power use caused the entire Immortal Master Mansion to shake. Ji Yunhe discovered that the barrier Immortal Master Ning Qing had set up in the Cijisup was starting to loosen. She guessed that Immortal Master Ning Qing's spiritual power was being restrained and wanted to seize the opportunity to break through the barrier and escape.

Ji Yunhe tried to gather the spiritual power within her body again. Unexpectedly, she succeeded. She pushed forward in one go, opened the barrier, and escaped from the Cijisup. In order to avoid being tracked by the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion, Ji Yunhe hid everywhere. Finally, she got lost in the Immortal Master Mansion. She came to a secret room where a portrait of Fairy Shunde Ru Ling was hanging.

Ji Yunhe was very puzzled and suspected that Immortal Master Ning Qing and Fairy Shunde had an unusual relationship. The portrait suddenly moved strangely. Ji Yunhe reached out to touch it. Immortal Master Ning Qing suddenly rushed over to stop her and escorted Ji Yunhe back to the Cijisup again. He also revealed the news that Fairy Shunde had gone to North Abyss to capture Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe firmly believed that Chang Yi would turn misfortune into good fortune.

Immortal Master Ning Qing returned to the secret room and reminded the person behind the portrait not to move randomly. That person couldn't wait to come out. Immortal Master Ning Qing told him to wait patiently for the right time to arrive. Chang Yi and Qing Yao led their people back to Lingshuang Platform. Kong Ming met up with them. Everyone was preparing to go save Qing Xuan together. Chang Yi suddenly felt dizzy and nearly fell.

Kong Ming quickly supported him. Chang Yi endured and rescued Qing Xuan with them. Qing Yao saw her father and was moved to tears. Qing Yao's cousin, Qi Feng, arrived shortly after. He led his people to control all the spiritual masterss on Lingshuang Platform and also handed over the spiritual masterss from Thousand Flower Valley imprisoned by Zhu Ling to Qing Xuan for disposal. Qing Xuan thanked Kong Ming and Chang Yi for saving his life.

Kong Ming suggested setting up defenses on Lingshuang Platform. Chang Yi's spiritual elixir suddenly shattered, and he fainted on the spot. Ji Yunhe felt that the merman pearl inside her body was acting abnormally. She guessed that Chang Yi was in danger and insisted on seeing Immortal Master Ning Qing, wanting to go save him as soon as possible.

Qing Xuan used the Elixir Condensing Technique to help Chang Yi repair his spiritual elixir, but due to the cold energy in his body not having dissipated, it was unsuccessful. Qing Yao wanted to give it a try. Qing Xuan didn't want her to take the risk. Qing Yao lied, claiming that she and Chang Yi had pledged their love for life and were willing to sacrifice their entire spiritual power to save Chang Yi.

Qing Xuan had no choice but to agree. Qing Yao expended all her spiritual power to help Chang Yi repair his spiritual elixir. She didn't want Chang Yi to know about this and asked Qing Xuan to help her keep it a secret. Chang Yi finally woke up. Kong Ming scolded him severely, complaining that he shouldn't have risked his life to act. Fairy Shunde Ru Ling returned defeated, having missed the opportunity to capture Chang Yi again.

She vented all her anger on Zhu Ling, cursing at him. Zhu Ling was so scared that he repeatedly begged for mercy. Immortal Master Ning Qing came to the Cijisup to see Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was eager to go save Chang Yi and even threatened to die. Immortal Master Ning Qing revealed the news that Chang Yi was still alive. Ji Yunhe insisted on leaving and persistently questioned Immortal Master Ning Qing about his purpose for imprisoning her.

Immortal Master Ning Qing proposed playing a game of chess with her; if Ji Yunhe won, he would let her go. Ji Yunhe readily agreed. Immortal Master Ning Qing played without any strategy. Ji Yunhe thought victory was within her grasp. Unexpectedly, Immortal Master Ning Qing placed a piece in the center, and the entire board of pieces immediately came alive.

Immortal Master Ning Qing admitted that imprisoning Ji Yunhe was meaningless in itself, but it would make other things meaningful, ultimately pushing towards the outcome Immortal Master Ning Qing desired. Immortal Master Ning Qing wanted to hold a funeral for this world, and Ji Yunhe was the chess piece that would decide victory or defeat. Ji Yunhe was stunned, not expecting Immortal Master Ning Qing's ambition to be so great. Chang Yi's body gradually recovered.

He couldn't help but remember Fairy Shunde Ru Ling mocking his feelings for Ji Yunhe and everything Ji Yunhe had done to him. He secretly swore in his heart to take revenge, one thing at a time. Qing Yao came to see Chang Yi. When Chang Yi learned that Qing Yao had helped him repair his spiritual elixir, he was infinitely grateful to Qing Yao.

Qing Xuan invited Chang Yi, Kong Ming, and others, and also gathered the Fox Clan disciples together. He publicly announced that they would fight a decisive battle against the Immortal Master Mansion. He wanted to choose a commander to lead the expedition. Chang Yi volunteered to be the commander. Qi Feng strongly protested, feeling that Chang Yi was not competent for such a great responsibility, but Chang Yi's mind was made up.

Kong Ming guessed that Chang Yi had volunteered to fight because of Ji Yunhe and suspected that he still had lingering feelings for Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi clearly stated that he only had hatred in his heart and was determined to seek revenge on Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming advised him not to fall into Fairy Shunde Ru Ling's trap.

Perhaps Fairy Shunde had deliberately tried to sow discord, or perhaps Ji Yunhe and Fairy Shunde had schemed together to lure Chang Yi in. Chang Yi had no time to worry about too much; he just wanted to avenge the clansmen he had implicated. Heavenly King Ru Jun learned about Fairy Shunde Ru Ling's reckless behavior and personally came to her door to hold her accountable. Fairy Shunde showed no remorse and even spoke eloquently in her defense.

Zhu Ling defended Fairy Shunde. Heavenly King Ru Jun ordered him to be severely punished without leniency. Fairy Shunde became enraged and forcibly drove Heavenly King Ru Jun away. Fairy Shunde Ru Ling's anger had not subsided. She came to the Cijisup and tormented Ji Yunhe in every way possible, repeatedly claiming that Chang Yi had fallen in love with someone else and was now the ideal husband of Qing Yao, the daughter of the Fox King.

Ji Yunhe was not moved and even retorted sharply. In a fit of rage, Fairy Shunde wanted to kill Ji Yunhe and give her to Chang Yi as a wedding gift. Immortal Master Ning Qing arrived in time to stop her. Fairy Shunde couldn't swallow this resentment. Immortal Master Ning Qing agreed to let her command the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion. Fairy Shunde wanted Immortal Master Ning Qing's Fierce Lightning Spell and Supreme Golden Talisman.

Immortal Master Ning Qing agreed to all of them. Ji Yunhe sneered at Fairy Shunde Ru Ling. She actually thought she could turn the tide of defeat with these. Fairy Shunde made a bet with Ji Yunhe. If she returned victorious this time, she would subject Ji Yunhe to slow slicing and turn her into a human pig. If she failed again, she would also receive the same punishment.

Episode 20 Recap

Fairy Shunde and Ji Yunhe made a life-or-death bet, and then she rushed to Lingshuang Platform to fight. Ning Qing advised Ji Yunhe to give up early. Even if Fairy Shunde lost, he would never let Ji Yunhe harm Fairy Shunde. Ji Yunhe didn't expect Ning Qing to love Fairy Shunde so deeply. Even if she didn't kill Fairy Shunde, she would still die when the five declines of heaven and man arrived.

Ning Qing declared that time and destiny could not kill Fairy Shunde, and he wanted to preserve Fairy Shunde's face. Ji Yunhe recalled the portrait in the secret room that resembled Fairy Shunde and guessed that Fairy Shunde looked very much like the woman Ning Qing deeply loved. Ji Yunhe sneered at Ning Qing's sentimentality, willing to become an enemy of the world for that woman. Ning Qing forbade her from asking around.

Before leaving, Ning Qing reminded Ji Yunhe not to act rashly. Even if she used the Ghost Soul Needles taught by the Guhuo Bird to control her spiritual power, the dual meridians formed by violating the laws would cause her to suffer the same retribution. Luo Jinsang was sealed in the secret room. She swore that she would never cause trouble again and begged Lin Haoqing and Si Yu to release her. Si Yu ignored her.

Lin Haoqing wanted to rescue the disciples of Thousand Flower Valley before the second onset of the cold frost. Si Yu found all relevant materials and classics for him to reference. Heavenly King Ru Jun was depressed all day after returning from the Immortal Master Mansion. He came under the Bodhi tree and couldn't help but remember being locked here to cultivate when he was young. Fairy Shunde accompanied him every day, talking about everything under the sun.

He didn't expect Fairy Shunde to become so cruel and violent now. Coupled with Ning Qing's indulgence, Fairy Shunde's reckless behavior led to the devastation of the people in North Abyss. He was heartbroken. He had wanted to bring Fairy Shunde back to the Heavenly Realm, but Ning Qing wouldn't allow Fairy Shunde to leave even half a step. Master Feilian kindly advised Heavenly King Ru Jun.

Heavenly King Ru Jun suddenly remembered that Fairy Shunde had gritted her teeth and cursed Ji Yunhe. He immediately decided to join forces with Ji Yunhe to deal with Ning Qing. Heavenly King Ru Jun came directly to the Cijisup to find Ji Yunhe and beat around the bush, asking Ji Yunhe about Ning Qing's weakness. Ji Yunhe directly stated his purpose. Heavenly King Ru Jun then brought up Chang Yi.

Ji Yunhe became a prisoner to protect Chang Yi, but Chang Yi fell in love with someone else. He was curious if Ji Yunhe would still save Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe swore she would save Chang Yi at all costs because saving him was her original intention. Ji Yunhe also advised Heavenly King Ru Jun to follow his heart. Heavenly King Ru Jun became greatly annoyed, forbidding Ji Yunhe from guessing his thoughts, and then left in a huff.

The spiritual masterss who defected from the Immortal Master Mansion came to defect to Qing Xuan. Qing Xuan called Chang Yi and others to discuss countermeasures. Chang Yi suggested accepting these people to strengthen their forces. Qi Feng firmly opposed this, while Qing Yao agreed with Chang Yi's idea.

A disciple reported to Qing Xuan that the spiritual masterss from Thousand Flower Valley who were imprisoned by Zhu Ling in the Wuwang Cave had suffered an onset of cold frost and were in critical condition. Chang Yi took Kong Ming to investigate. The spiritual masterss of Thousand Flower Valley were transferred to the square. Their entire bodies began to freeze. Kong Ming quickly took out pills to delay the poison's onset and distributed them.

Chang Yi remembered that Ji Yunhe had also shown similar symptoms and asked Kong Ming for the reason. Back when Kong Ming was still in the Immortal Master Mansion, the Immortal Master sent him to deliver frost flowers to Lin Canglan. He personally saw Lin Canglan plant frost flowers on the newly arrived spiritual masterss. Kong Ming felt guilty and left the Immortal Master Mansion not long after. He also developed pills to alleviate the poison's onset.

Chang Yi comforted him, saying the root cause of this matter was the Immortal Master. Now everyone was gathered in North Abyss and would soon make those schemes, tyranny, and betrayals pay. Heavenly King Ru Jun was awakened by Ji Yunhe's words. He came to find Ji Yunhe again and frankly explained his purpose. He didn't want to see Fairy Shunde continue to act recklessly and wanted to join forces with Ji Yunhe to deal with Ning Qing.

Ji Yunhe readily agreed and told him about the Immortal Master planting cold frost on the spiritual masterss. Heavenly King Ru Jun was very angry, not expecting Ning Qing to be so ruthless. He wanted to ask him for an antidote. Ji Yunhe advised him to give up early. Ning Qing's ambition was to hold a funeral for the world, which was why he sent Fairy Shunde to kill everywhere and create chaos.

Ji Yunhe found that the imprisoned criminal immortals had lost all their spiritual power and suspected that Ning Qing had transferred it using forbidden techniques. She was nothing more than Ning Qing's chess piece. Heavenly King Ru Jun was stunned upon learning of Ning Qing's conspiracy.

Ji Yunhe told him to send someone to find Luo Jinsang and have Luo Jinsang invite Qing Yu Luan Niao to come out and restrain Ning Qing's energy, so he could take the opportunity to make overall arrangements. Heavenly King Ru Jun quickly found Luo Jinsang and sent her to find Qing Yu Luan Niao. Luo Jinsang was relieved to know that Ji Yunhe was safe and hurried to Leyou Mountain.

Kong Ming suggested to Qing Xuan that if they could get Qing Yu Luan Niao's help, they could completely defeat Ning Qing. But none of them knew the whereabouts of Qing Yu Luan Niao. Chang Yi had personally seen Qing Yu Luan Niao follow Ning Ruochu's soul to Leyou Mountain in the Shifang Array. Kong Ming volunteered to go invite Qing Yu Luan Niao. Li Shu didn't dare to face Xue Sanyue, so he quietly followed behind her.

Qing Yu Luan Niao forced Li Shu to show himself. Li Shu repeatedly apologized to Xue Sanyue and explained the reason why he had concealed his identity to approach Xue Sanyue and save Qing Yu Luan Niao. Xue Sanyue still refused to forgive him. Li Shu expressed his true feelings for Xue Sanyue and took out his spiritual elixir to give it to her. Xue Sanyue adamantly refused and ran away in tears.

Chang Yi helped Qing Xuan handle daily affairs. Qing Yao spent time with him day and night and gradually developed feelings for him. Li Shu was cruelly rejected by Xue Sanyue. While he was at a loss, his attendants Da Huan and Xiao Huan suddenly came to find him and persuaded him to return to Chongwu Mountain together. Li Shu thought it over before making up his mind.

He came to say goodbye to Xue Sanyue, hoping she would ask him to stay. Xue Sanyue ignored him. Li Shu meticulously arranged Xue Sanyue's dwelling and then quietly left. Qing Yu Luan Niao came to find Xue Sanyue and told her everything about Li Shu risking his life to save her and exhausting his spiritual power to help her absorb the cold energy. She advised Xue Sanyue to follow her heart and not disappoint Li Shu's painstaking efforts.

Li Shu took Da Huan and Xiao Huan and left Leyou Mountain. From afar, he saw Kong Ming coming there. He quickly went to stop him. Kong Ming attacked them fiercely. Xue Sanyue arrived in time to resolve the situation.

Episode 21 Recap

Kong Ming saw the frost flowers on the back of Xue Sanyue's neck and guessed that she was a spiritual masters from Thousand Flower Valley. He then asked her about the whereabouts of Qing Yu Luan Niao. Xue Sanyue was very vigilant. Kong Ming explained that he was ordered by Chang Yi and Qing Xuan to invite Qing Yu Luan Niao out of the mountain to assist North Abyss.

He also described in detail how Ji Yunhe pushed Chang Yi off the cliff and was then captured by Ning Qing. Xue Sanyue didn't believe that Ji Yunhe would break faith, but Kong Ming spoke with certainty. Li Shu firmly believed that Ji Yunhe would not betray Chang Yi. He noticed that the person in front of him, dressed simply, not only possessed powerful spiritual power but also had the scent of herbs on him.

He guessed that this was the famous Kong Ming. Li Shu also wanted Qing Yu Luan Niao to step forward and thoroughly clear up the misunderstanding between Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi. So, he suggested that Kong Ming prepare some good wine, then freeze it in the Nine Cold Cave overnight, and then take it to please Qing Yu Luan Niao, who liked to drink. Kong Ming immediately went down the mountain to buy wine.

Li Shu thanked Xue Sanyue for helping him, thinking she wanted him to stay. Xue Sanyue made an excuse that she didn't want anyone touching her things. Li Shu heard the hidden meaning in her words. He told Da Huan and Xiao Huan to return to Chongwu Mountain, while he decided to stay in Leyou Mountain to accompany Xue Sanyue. Da Huan and Xiao Huan firmly refused to leave and wanted to stay with him.

Li Shu couldn't argue with them and had to agree. Qing Yao made Chang Yi sweet potato soup to ward off the cold. Chang Yi couldn't help but recall the sweet memories of Ji Yunhe roasting sweet potatoes for him, feeling a pang in his heart. In a huff, he left without eating. Ru Jun made detailed arrangements and came to inform Ji Yunhe, wanting to cooperate with her from the inside and outside to attack the Immortal Master Mansion.

Ji Yunhe asked Ru Jun to show leniency to Chang Yi after everything settled down and to release the criminal immortals from the Congji Jail. Ru Jun readily agreed, but as a ruler, he had difficulties and it was inconvenient for him to directly release the criminal immortals. He asked Ji Yunhe to secretly release them. He then gave Ji Yunhe a Heavenly Realm token for convenience. Ru Jun only asked Ji Yunhe not to harm his sister, Ru Ling.

Ji Yunhe promised not to proactively attack Ru Ling. Ji Yunhe then asked the Heavenly King, if there are some people whom we can never change throughout our lives, should we stick to our original intentions or let go? She hoped the Heavenly King could understand that indulging Ru Ling and changing her might be very difficult. Kong Ming bought a jar of fine wine and put it directly into the Nine Cold Cave to freeze.

Not long after he left, Luo Jinsang arrived there. As soon as she entered the cave, she smelled the strong aroma of wine. Luo Jinsang opened the wine jar and tasted it. Kong Ming suddenly rushed in and forbade Luo Jinsang from touching his wine. Luo Jinsang picked up the wine jar and tried to run, but Kong Ming waved his hand and knocked her to the ground.

The large stone door at the entrance of the Nine Cold Cave fell down. Kong Ming guessed that Qing Yu Luan Niao had set up a mechanism here, and they would be sealed inside if a fight occurred. Luo Jinsang used all her spiritual power to try and open the large stone door, but it didn't budge. Kong Ming advised her not to waste her energy.

Luo Jinsang desperately tried to please Kong Ming, begging him to help open the stone door. Kong Ming told her to wait patiently for Li Shu and Xue Sanyue to come and rescue them. Luo Jinsang was surprised, not expecting Li Shu to still be alive. She couldn't help but admire his excellent skill at feigning death.

When Luo Jinsang learned that Kong Ming was sent by Chang Yi to invite Qing Yu Luan Niao, she completely lowered her guard and lay on the ground, pretending to be dead like Li Shu. Inside the Nine Cold Cave, it was icy and snowy, unusually cold. To preserve his strength, Kong Ming closed his eyes and meditated. Luo Jinsang shivered with cold.

Remembering how Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi hugged to keep warm, she wanted to hug Kong Ming for warmth. Kong Ming was very resistant. Luo Jinsang thought that if two people loved each other, they could huddle together for warmth, and casually said that she loved Kong Ming. Kong Ming forbade her from talking nonsense. Luo Jinsang wanted to drink that jar of wine to warm herself, but Kong Ming firmly refused.

He wanted to use that wine to please Qing Yu Luan Niao and thus accomplish their great mission. Luo Jinsang didn't understand these things. She didn't want to freeze to death. She only wanted to save up more spiritual stones to exchange for an immortal island and live a free and unrestrained life with Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming scoffed at her and even called Ji Yunhe greedy, saying she betrayed Chang Yi for her own future.

Luo Jinsang repeatedly explained that Ji Yunhe wanted to let Chang Yi go, but Kong Ming didn't believe her at all. Luo Jinsang didn't want to say too much. She begged Kong Ming to lend her spiritual power to open the stone door, but Kong Ming firmly refused. Luo Jinsang suddenly fell to the ground and didn't get up. Kong Ming thought she had fainted from the cold and rushed over to show concern for her.

Luo Jinsang suddenly jumped up and ambushed Kong Ming. She took the opportunity to pick up the wine jar and drink it, and even fed some to Kong Ming mouth-to-mouth. Kong Ming fainted on the spot because his heart rate accelerated. Luo Jinsang discovered that Kong Ming's body was very warm, so she lay on top of him to warm herself. Kong Ming's yang energy surged from his body, and Luo Jinsang absorbed it all without a word.

Early the next morning, Xue Sanyue and Li Shu searched everywhere for Kong Ming. Seeing that the large stone door of the Nine Cold Cave was closed, they used their spiritual power to open it and saw Luo Jinsang and Kong Ming trapped inside. Li Shu was very surprised. Generally, immortal attendants would freeze to death after staying in the Nine Cold Cave for less than half an hour, but Luo Jinsang's face was flushed instead.

Luo Jinsang boasted that it was all thanks to Kong Ming's strong yang energy. Kong Ming blushed crimson with shame, unable to speak coherently. He discovered that the entire jar of wine had been drunk by Luo Jinsang and was furious. Luo Jinsang promised to be responsible to the end and took the empty jar to see Qing Yu Luan Niao. Qing Yu Luan Niao was greatly annoyed.

Luo Jinsang used the special skill of butterflies and quickly collected a jar of fine wine from among grains and flowers. Qing Yu Luan Niao remembered that Ning Ruochu had also used a similar method to get wine for her, and immediately lost all interest. However, she couldn't resist Luo Jinsang's persistent pestering.

Qing Yu Luan Niao proposed that if Luo Jinsang's wine could get her drunk, she would agree to come out of the mountain, otherwise, no one should ever take half a step into Leyou Mountain again. Luo Jinsang readily agreed. Kong Ming sat outside, quietly waiting for the result. Remembering the sweet moments of intimate contact he had with Luo Jinsang in the Nine Cold Cave last night, he desperately tried to hide it, forcing himself to calm down.

But Luo Jinsang's appearance lingered in his mind. Luo Jinsang collected a lot of fine wine, but Qing Yu Luan Niao felt nothing after drinking it. Luo Jinsang took out the last cup, specially adding fermented rice wine to it. Qing Yu Luan Niao recalled many past events, becoming deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate herself. Luo Jinsang added fuel to the fire from the side, vowing to save Ji Yunhe at all costs.

Qing Yu Luan Niao clearly remembered that Ning Ruochu had also said such words. She immediately decided to come out of the mountain. Luo Jinsang was overjoyed and quickly ran out to announce the good news to Kong Ming and the others. She also kept pestering Kong Ming in various ways. Kong Ming was scared and tried to avoid her. Luo Jinsang, fueled by the alcohol, transformed into a butterfly and flew away. Kong Ming followed closely behind.

Luo Jinsang fell to the ground and saw a mirror on the ground. She marveled at her own beauty. Kong Ming chased after her and showed concern. Luo Jinsang held onto Kong Ming tightly, endlessly babbling about the wonderful feelings of that night in the Nine Cold Cave. Kong Ming was flustered by her but felt secretly pleased. When Li Shu and Xue Sanyue saw this scene, they concluded that their relationship was unusual.

Xue Sanyue loudly reminded Luo Jinsang that there was still serious business to attend to. Luo Jinsang quickly followed Xue Sanyue to find Qing Yu Luan Niao. Qing Yu Luan Niao was invited to North Abyss to meet Qing Xuan. Qing Xuan handed over all matters to Chang Yi. Chang Yi elaborated on the battle plan: he asked Qing Yu Luan Niao to lure Ning Qing out of Lutai Mountain and hold him back for as long as possible.

He assigned Kong Ming to guard North Abyss and secure the rear for support. Chang Yi would lead a team to the Immortal Master Mansion to rescue the trapped criminal immortals. Qi Feng publicly opposed Chang Yi, wanting to lead the team to attack the Immortal Master Mansion. Chang Yi insisted on going himself, and Qing Xuan agreed to his plan. Before leaving, Li Shu gave Chang Yi many instructions and intended to accompany him to help. After that, Kong Ming took out a token and asked Chang Yi to give it to Ji Chengyu. Perhaps encountering Ji Chengyu would prevent difficulties.

Episode 22 Recap

Ning Qing brought some travelogues he had annotated to discuss with Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was puzzled that while Ru Ling was leading troops in battle outside, he still had the leisure to read. Ning Qing firmly believed that Ru Ling would be invincible. Ji Yunhe saw that the travelogue's author had a deep love for the common people.

She pointed out, getting straight to the point, the biased parts of Ning Qing's annotations, but she noticed that they were full of deep affection. Ji Yunhe concluded that the author of this book was Ning Qing's beloved. Ning Qing had to admit that for her, he was willing to cause chaos in the world. Ning Qing suddenly sensed Qing Yu Luan Niao gradually approaching. He worried that Ru Ling was in danger and immediately rushed over to save her.

Ji Yunhe discovered that Ning Qing had also brought a copy of Thousand Flower Valley's "Compendium of Objects". She guessed that the person he loved was related to Thousand Flower Valley. Qing Yu Luan Niao pressed closer and closer to Ru Ling. Ru Ling retreated step by step. Ning Qing arrived in time to save her, forbidding anyone from laying a finger on Ru Ling.

When Qing Yu Luan Niao saw Ru Ling's face, she guessed that Ning Qing would come. Ru Ling looked very much like the woman Ning Qing deeply loved. Qing Yu Luan Niao condemned Ning Qing for causing chaos in the world for his selfish desires. Having lost his beloved, Ning Qing wanted the world to be buried with her. Without another word, the two of them engaged in a fierce battle.

Lin Haoqing learned the news of Ru Ling and the North Abyss engaging in battle. He immediately took people to Lutai Mountain to save Ji Yunhe. He ordered Qu Xiaoxing to stay and guard Thousand Flower Valley. Si Yu went with him. Ji Yunhe used all her spiritual power and discovered that the barrier set up by Ning Qing was starting to loosen.

Just as she was about to break the barrier and use the token given by the Heavenly King to save the criminal immortals, Luo Jinsang suddenly arrived at the Congji Jail. The two reunited after a long separation, and their excitement was beyond words. Luo Jinsang briefly recounted the process of her inviting Qing Yu Luan Niao to come out of the mountain. Ji Yunhe was very happy to learn that Li Shu was still alive.

Luo Jinsang couldn't wait to tell Ji Yunhe about Chang Yi leading a team to Lutai Mountain to rescue the criminal immortals, and asked Ji Yunhe to go to the North Abyss with Chang Yi. Ji Yunhe felt that things were not that simple. Ning Qing wanted to cause chaos in the world. She worried that Chang Yi had fallen into Ning Qing's trap. Ji Yunhe decided to stay and keep Ru Ling stable.

She gave the token to Luo Jinsang, asking Luo Jinsang and Xue Sanyue to rescue the criminal immortals, and then follow Chang Yi back to the North Abyss. That way, Chang Yi wouldn't have to come to Lutai Mountain to fight, and Ning Qing's plot would be completely foiled. Luo Jinsang was worried about her staying there alone. Ji Yunhe promised to find an opportunity to escape as soon as possible.

The two of them would meet at the foot of Lutai Mountain. Xue Sanyue dressed as a man, took the token, and came to the Congji Jail. She successfully tricked the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion and rescued all the imprisoned criminal immortals. Luo Jinsang arrived shortly after. She used scale powder to make the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion unconscious, and told the criminal immortals to head north to the North Abyss.

Guhuo Bird and others insisted on going back to save Ji Yunhe. Luo Jinsang persuaded them to leave first, believing that Ji Yunhe would escape. Only then did they agree to leave. Chang Yi came to Lutai Mountain alone to survey the terrain. Li Shu heard the news and rushed to find him. The criminal immortal Skunk, who had always admired Ji Yunhe, was hiding in the bushes. Li Shu forced him to show himself.

He revealed that Ji Yunhe had released the criminal immortals and stayed in the Congji Jail to provide support. Chang Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking and rushed towards the Congji Jail. Ru Ling learned that the criminal immortals had been released. She was furious and swore she would never let Ji Yunhe escape. Ji Yunhe heard the guards outside in a chaotic mess and guessed that Luo Jinsang and Xue Sanyue had succeeded.

She used all her spiritual power to try and escape. Ru Ling suddenly rushed over to stop her. The two engaged in a fierce fight. Ji Yunhe didn't want to prolong the battle. She transformed into a nine-tailed fox and attacked Ru Ling. Ru Ling used all her strength to knock Ji Yunhe to the ground. The two were at daggers drawn, neither giving way, fighting inextricably. Ji Yunhe struck and injured Ru Ling's face.

Ru Ling discovered she was disfigured and threatened to kill Ji Yunhe. She dealt a fatal blow to Ji Yunhe. Fortunately, Chang Yi arrived in time. He subdued Ru Ling with a single palm strike and rescued Ji Yunhe. The misfortune of the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses was all because of Ru Ling. Back then, Chang Yi had saved Ru Ling from the towering waves. Now, he wanted to give back the life he had saved.

Before leaving, Chang Yi started a fire, wanting to burn Ru Ling alive. Chang Yi took Ji Yunhe and escaped from the Congji Jail. They ran into Ji Chengyu. Ji Chengyu wanted to capture Ji Yunhe and take her back to report. Chang Yi then took out Kong Ming's token and relayed Kong Ming's words, hoping that when Ji Chengyu was foolishly loyal, he could find his own path. Ji Chengyu had no choice but to let them go.

Lin Haoqing and Si Yu rushed to Lutai Mountain. From afar, they saw Chang Yi rescuing Ji Yunhe and taking her away. Lin Haoqing dared not act rashly, worried about implicating the disciples of Thousand Flower Valley. He had no choice but to order his team to go to the Immortal Master Mansion to rescue Ru Ling. Ji Chengyu and Lin Haoqing arrived at the Congji Jail at the same time.

Lin Haoqing was one step ahead and rescued Ru Ling from the sea of fire. Qing Xuan and Qing Yao waited at the foot of the mountain for news of Chang Yi. They personally saw Chang Yi rescue Ji Yunhe and take her away. Qing Xuan knew that Ning Qing had been lured away by Qing Yu Luan Niao. He didn't want to miss this opportunity and ordered everyone to advance towards the Immortal Master Mansion.

Chang Yi took Ji Yunhe to the mountaintop and clearly stated that he had come for revenge. Ji Yunhe suddenly felt her blood surge and showed symptoms of backlash. Chang Yi quickly helped her restore her spiritual power, but unexpectedly discovered that Ji Yunhe had a spiritual core inside her body. Ji Yunhe had to admit that she had been experimented on by Lin Canglan and turned into a monster.

Qing Xuan personally led his team to the Immortal Master Mansion. They encountered Lin Haoqing fleeing while holding Ru Ling. Qing Xuan forced him to hand over Ru Ling, but Lin Haoqing firmly refused. Ning Qing suddenly arrived. He saw that Ru Ling was disfigured and was thunderous with rage. He dealt a heavy blow to Qing Xuan, with every move being fatal. Qing Xuan took out his spiritual core to counterattack, covering the retreat of his clansmen.

Before he died, he asked Qing Yao to tell Chang Yi to take good care of the North Abyss. Ning Qing ordered Qing Xuan's clansmen to be annihilated at all costs. The Heavenly King rushed over to stop him. He ordered Ning Qing to reflect on his mistakes and not to cause any more conflict. Ning Qing's mind had long been clouded by hatred. He acted stubbornly and even threatened and intimidated the Heavenly King.

Master Feilian and Master Leize stood up together to denounce Ning Qing's numerous crimes. The Heavenly King suddenly received the Immortal Decree sealed by the late emperor within the Bodhi tree. He was immediately overjoyed. He had finally gained the late emperor's recognition. With this token, he could command a million divine soldiers. Holding the token, the Heavenly King issued orders to the world. The disciples of the Celestial Master Mansion prostrated themselves before him in worship.

Ning Qing dared not defy fate and had no choice but to make concessions. The person sealed behind that painting saw the Heavenly King obtain the Immortal Decree. He gnashed his teeth in anger and swore to rebuild his physical body and become the ruler of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, his wish could only be a pipe dream. Chang Yi activated the merman pearl inside Ji Yunhe's body using his powers.

The merman pearl helped Ji Yunhe recover her spiritual power. Ji Yunhe knew she didn't have long to live. She wanted to do her best to stop the Immortal Master's plot. She advised Chang Yi not to fall for Ning Qing's scheme. Chang Yi refused to let Ji Yunhe die, repeatedly claiming that Ji Yunhe's life belonged to him. Enduring countless hardships, Chang Yi brought Ji Yunhe to the North Abyss. He wanted to demand an explanation from Ji Yunhe for her lies and deception from back then, in his own way. End of the show.

Episode 23 Recap

Chang Yi brought the heavily injured Ji Yunhe back to North Abyss. Ji Yunhe remained in a coma due to her severe injuries. Chang Yi found Kong Ming to treat Ji Yunhe's injuries. Kong Ming discovered that Ji Yunhe was like a living dead person. The power of Qiankun's Two Poles had been injected into her body.

Although she had cultivated the dual meridians, formed a spiritual core, and broken through the frost's restriction, this method violated the laws of the world and caused a backlash to Ji Yunhe's body. Coupled with her desperate fight against Ru Ling which consumed a lot of spiritual power, her body was riddled with wounds. Chang Yi was heartbroken. He hadn't expected Ji Yunhe to suffer such inhuman torment.

Qing Yao sent someone to invite Chang Yi and Kong Ming to discuss settling Qing Xuan. Chang Yi immediately decided to leave Ji Yunhe on the lake island to recover from her injuries. He also set up a restriction there and left Luo Su to guard her, not allowing anyone to approach her. Qing Xuan fought Ning Qing desperately to cover the retreat of his clan members. As a result, his spiritual power was completely lost.

Although the Spiritual Core Formation technique kept his spiritual meridian unbroken, Qing Xuan fell into a deep slumber and might never wake up again. Qing Yao vowed to save her father at all costs. Kong Ming suggested temporarily freezing him, hoping for a possibility of waking up in the future. Qing Yao couldn't think of a better solution at the moment, so she had no choice but to agree. Chang Yi used his power to freeze Qing Xuan's body.

After the great battle between North Abyss and the Immortal Master Mansion, Luo Jinsang, Xue Sanyue, and Li Shu followed the Azure-winged鸾鸟 Qing Ji to North Abyss. Luo Jinsang found out that Ji Yunhe was imprisoned by Chang Yi on the lake island. She tried several times but couldn't get close. She had to ask Xue Sanyue for help. Xue Sanyue wanted to go argue with Chang Yi.

Chang Yi personally visited Qing Ji to thank her for helping delay Ning Qing, which allowed them to achieve a decisive victory in the great battle. He felt that Ning Qing would not let the matter rest and advised Qing Ji to temporarily stay in North Abyss to prevent Ning Qing from causing trouble at Leyou Mountain. Qing Ji was accidentally injured while fighting fiercely with Ning Qing.

She noticed that Ning Qing's cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds and felt something was very wrong. She reminded Chang Yi to be cautious everywhere. Ji Yunhe finally woke up. Luo Su immediately reported to Chang Yi. Chang Yi and Qing Ji hastily said goodbye and returned to the lake island. Luo Jinsang stopped Chang Yi and questioned him why he had imprisoned Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi refused to answer. Luo Jinsang cursed him, calling him ungrateful.

Li Shu quickly came to mediate. He also stewed fish soup and invited Chang Yi to taste it. Chang Yi snatched the fish soup and left. The more Luo Jinsang thought about it, the angrier she became. She went to seek help from Qing Ji. Qing Ji did not want to get involved in the entanglement between Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe. Xue Sanyue, in a huff, wanted to force Chang Yi to release Ji Yunhe.

Li Shu advised her not to meddle in other people's business. Ji Yunhe struggled to get up and open the window. She saw that it was snowing heavily outside. She liked snow the most, and her mood immediately brightened up. Ji Yunhe wanted to escape from the lake island to enjoy the beautiful scenery of North Abyss's ice and snow. So, she secretly stole the token from the maid who delivered food. She didn't expect Chang Yi to suddenly return.

He brought fish soup for Ji Yunhe. With a harsh tone but kind heart, he forced Yunhe to drink the medicinal soup. Ru Jun rescued Ru Ling and brought her back to the Heavenly Court. Ru Ling woke up and found her face was disfigured. She knew that Ning Qing would never appear again. Ru Ling vented all her anger on Ru Jun. Ru Jun advised her not to be obsessed.

Ning Qing tolerated her precisely because she looked very similar to the woman he loved. Ru Ling was blinded by anger and shouted at Ru Jun. Ru Jun was anxious and helpless. He had to seek help from Master He Xu. Master He Xu encouraged him not to back down. Ru Jun was immediately full of confidence. Moreover, he also had the Immortal Decree left by the former emperor that could command a million divine soldiers.

Ru Jun vowed to fight Ning Qing to the end. The mysterious person behind the scenes forced Ning Qing to fight Ru Jun to the death. Ning Qing did not take Ru Jun seriously at all. Ru Jun had shallow qualifications and could not yet summon a million divine soldiers. For the sake of the former emperor, he also did not want to cause public anger. He temporarily conceded defeat to Ru Jun.

Ning Qing vowed to settle the score with Ru Jun sooner or later. As expected by Ning Qing, Ru Jun issued the Immortal Decree, but not a single divine soldier was summoned. Only then did he realize his cultivation was insufficient. He felt very frustrated. Lin Haoqing came to the Immortal Master Mansion to deliver immortal herbs for healing Ru Ling's injuries. Ji Chengyu received him and promised to speak favorably of him before Ning Qing.

In fact, Lin Haoqing's purpose for this visit was to steal the antidote. He had made careful arrangements beforehand. He had Si Yu find some evil spirits to come to the Immortal Master Mansion. Ning Qing personally came to see Ru Ling. Ru Ling was overjoyed. Ning Qing personally helped her remove the decayed flesh from her facial injury. Ru Ling screamed in pain.

Ning Qing gave her a pill and decided to continue removing the decayed flesh for her tomorrow. Ru Ling complained bitterly and, in a huff, threw the pill aside. The maid who delivered food spoke harshly to Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe could no longer tolerate it. She revealed her fox fire and attacked her fiercely. Chang Yi arrived in time. He struck the maid with a palm, sending her flying, and forced Ji Yunhe to drink the medicine.

Ji Yunhe wanted to go out for a walk. Chang Yi firmly refused. Ji Yunhe threatened him with death, but Chang Yi was not moved at all. Ji Chengyu was chatting idly with Lin Haoqing in the quiet room. A disciple of the Immortal Master Mansion rushed in to report to Ji Chengyu that evil spirits had suddenly appeared in the mansion. Ji Chengyu immediately rushed to see what was going on.

Lin Haoqing knew these were the evil spirits Si Yu had found. Taking this opportunity, he searched the quiet room for the antidote. He accidentally discovered a secret chamber. The door to the secret chamber was easily opened. Lin Haoqing found a portrait of a woman who looked exactly like Ru Ling hanging in the secret chamber. He immediately understood everything. He continued searching inside. Ji Chengyu quickly drove away the evil spirits. Ning Qing arrived upon hearing the news.

He learned that Lin Haoqing was in the quiet room. He felt uneasy and hurried over. Lin Haoqing searched the quiet room but did not find the antidote. Ning Qing suddenly returned. He lied, claiming he accidentally knocked over the chessboard. Ning Qing invited him to play a game of chess. The maid felt wronged. She went back and complained to Qing Yao. She unintentionally mentioned that Ji Yunhe had fox fire on her body. Qing Yao was greatly surprised.

Only her aunt Qing Shu had fox fire in the world. She later died in Thousand Flower Valley. She hadn't expected Ji Yunhe to have it as well. Qi Feng determined that Ji Yunhe had killed Qing Shu and stolen her fox fire. He wanted to take Qing Yao to seek Ji Yunhe for retribution. Qing Yao did not want to make things difficult for Chang Yi. She decided to wait and see first.

Lin Haoqing did not find the antidote. However, he inferred from the painting that Ning Qing cared about Ru Ling's face, not her as a person. Ning Qing guessed that the mysterious person had opened the secret chamber door for Lin Haoqing. So he came to argue with him. The mysterious person admitted it without hesitation. He wanted to throw the world into chaos as soon as possible.

He also warned Ning Qing that he had signed a blood pact with him. Ning Qing's power needed him, and he needed to be released as soon as possible. Ning Qing also planned to stir up chaos in the world to the very end.

Episode 24 Recap

Qing Yao asked the maid for the token to enter the lake island. She personally came to deliver food to Ji Yunhe and attacked her fiercely. Ji Yunhe, being injured, did not want to prolong the fight. She had no choice but to reveal her fox fire for protection and retaliate with the Hidden Soul Needle.

Qing Yao was surprised that she not only had her aunt Qing Shu's unique fox fire but also knew how to use Qing Shu's exclusive technique, the Hidden Soul Needle. This further confirmed to her that Ji Yunhe had killed Qing Shu. Ji Yunhe repeatedly explained, but Qing Yao did not listen at all and ruthlessly tried to kill Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe's strength gradually gave out. Chang Yi arrived in time to stop it and called Qing Yao aside.

Chang Yi defended Ji Yunhe and recounted in detail how Qing Shu died for Lin Canglan. Qing Yao could see that Chang Yi still had feelings for Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi did not want to explain too much. He reminded Qing Yao not to step onto the lake island and also took back the token. Qi Feng wanted to take his clansmen to the lake island to kill Ji Yunhe.

Qing Yao desperately stopped him, clearly stating that Ji Yunhe did not kill Qing Shu. Qi Feng did not believe it at all. Qing Yao punished him with house arrest for twenty days in the name of disturbing military morale. Qi Feng was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. The backlash within Ji Yunhe's body became increasingly severe. She was tormented to the point where death seemed better than life. Chang Yi was both anxious and angry.

He forced her to drink the tonic medicine. Ji Yunhe saw the long-lost heartache and tenderness in his eyes. Chang Yi had always thought that Ji Yunhe betrayed him to Ru Ling in exchange for freedom and glory, but he did not expect her to be tormented like this by Ru Ling in the end. He felt that Ji Yunhe had difficulties she could not express.

Ji Yunhe remained silent, only begging Chang Yi to let her go out and live a few days of free life in the last moments of her life. Chang Yi became angry out of embarrassment and told Ji Yunhe to kill him first before mentioning it again.

Ji Yunhe did not want to explain what happened back then, precisely because she was afraid that after the explanation, Chang Yi would know that Ji Yunhe suffered all this torment because of him. Ji Yunhe had little life left and feared that Chang Yi would be unable to cope even more after she passed away. Xue Sanyue came to argue with Chang Yi, forcing him to release Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi flatly refused.

Xue Sanyue felt there was a misunderstanding between him and Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi did not believe it at all. He could never forget the heartless words Ji Yunhe said on the cliff, how she ruthlessly stabbed him, and pushed him off the cliff. Xue Sanyue, in a huff, wanted to fight Chang Yi to the death. Fortunately, Li Shu arrived in time to stop her.

Kong Ming heard that Qing Yao and Qi Feng had fallen out and also felt that Chang Yi should not keep Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi did not listen at all. Li Shu advised Xue Sanyue not to be impulsive. Even if she rescued Ji Yunhe, she would have nowhere to settle down, as Ning Qing would surely hunt her down and kill her. Xue Sanyue forbade him from interfering.

Li Shu knew that Xue Sanyue still wouldn't forgive him and quickly went back to stew soup to please her. Chang Yi brought official documents to the lake island every day. He reviewed them day and night. Ji Yunhe felt pained for him and took the initiative to seek him out for a casual chat. Ji Yunhe once again expressed her desire for freedom. Chang Yi gave her a copy of the Guangwu Collection to pass the time.

Ji Yunhe used all her spiritual power to try and break through the restriction, but it was in vain. Da Huan and Xiao Huan witnessed Li Shu, a dignified prince, actually going into the kitchen to stew soup for Xue Sanyue, and Xue Sanyue didn't even appreciate it. They felt it was not worth it for Li Shu. Li Shu forcibly drove them away.

The two of them complained bitterly in private, wanting to help Li Shu get rid of Xue Sanyue, this burden. Luo Jinsang came to find Qing Ji and saw Da Huan and Xiao Huan hiding aside, looking suspicious. She suspected they were spies sent by Ning Qing. Qing Ji rushed over upon hearing the news and introduced them as Li Shu's clansmen. Da Huan and Xiao Huan were so frightened that they ran away in a flash.

Luo Jinsang begged Qing Ji to help resolve the misunderstanding between Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi. Qing Ji found it inconvenient to intervene, stating that their relationship was far more complicated than just a simple misunderstanding. Luo Jinsang had no choice but to give up. Ji Yunhe tried to use her power whenever she had time, hoping to break through the restriction and leave the lake island as soon as possible.

A Ming came to see Ji Yunhe and also chatted with her. Ji Yunhe revealed her idea of escaping to her. A Ming told Ji Yunhe to knock her out. Ji Yunhe had no choice but to do as she was told. She used all her spiritual power and finally succeeded in breaking through the restriction and escaping. Luo Jinsang came to ask Kong Ming for help, pleading desperately for him to ask Chang Yi to release Ji Yunhe.

When Kong Ming saw her, his heart raced, and he spoke incoherently. Luo Jinsang launched a romantic offensive against him again. Kong Ming was completely defenseless. Fortunately, Chang Yi arrived in time to relieve Kong Ming's embarrassment. Luo Jinsang quickly hid. Chang Yi was discussing defensive strategies with Kong Ming to resist Ning Qing's counterattack. Suddenly, he felt that the restriction on the lake island had been broken.

Just as he was about to go back and investigate, Luo Jinsang rushed in and desperately stopped him, buying time for Ji Yunhe's escape. In a fit of pique, Chang Yi tied Kong Ming and Luo Jinsang together. Ji Yunhe regained her freedom and ran wildly across the icy and snowy land of North Abyss. She cheered with joy. Finally, exhausted, she lay down on the snow to watch the stars in the sky. Chang Yi quickly found her.

Ji Yunhe lied, claiming she would obediently return to the lake island and begged Chang Yi not to tie her up. As soon as Chang Yi untied her, Ji Yunhe tried to escape but was caught back by Chang Yi. He also left a merman mark on her ear, forbidding her to leave the lake island even half a step. Da Huan and Xiao Huan accidentally saw the scene of Chang Yi catching Ji Yunhe.

They immediately went back to report to Li Shu. Li Shu quickly went to find Chang Yi, reminding him to tell Xue Sanyue about this matter. Ji Yunhe did not want to be bound and wanted to rub off the mark on her ear. The merman mark could connect the five senses of two people. Ji Yunhe rubbed the mark desperately despite the pain. The mark on Chang Yi's ear also felt a burning pain.

Luo Su felt very pained for him. Li Shu advised Chang Yi not to torture each other with Ji Yunhe anymore and suggested they both take a step back. Chang Yi brought up his relationship with Xue Sanyue as an example. Li Shu clearly stated that if Xue Sanyue got tired of him and left, he would accept his fate. Xue Sanyue, hiding aside, heard everything clearly.

Episode 25 Recap

Li Shu felt that loving someone meant making her happy. Li Shu knew that Chang Yi still loved Ji Yunhe and advised him not to trap Ji Yunhe on the lake island. Chang Yi remained silent. Li Shu was anxious to go back and stew soup for Xue Sanyue, so he bid farewell to Chang Yi and left in a hurry. Xue Sanyue, hiding aside, heard Li Shu's words and was deeply moved.

Luo Jinsang was worried about Ji Yunhe and wanted to break free from the ropes and escape, but Kong Ming forcibly pulled her back. Luo Jinsang lost her balance and fell directly into Kong Ming's arms. Kong Ming was so excited that his face turned red and he became incoherent. Fortunately, Chang Yi arrived in time to defuse the awkwardness. Luo Jinsang couldn't wait to ask Chang Yi about Ji Yunhe's situation, forcing Chang Yi to release Ji Yunhe.

Chang Yi repeatedly claimed that he didn't want Ji Yunhe to be denounced by the Fox Clan, and that the lake island was the safest place for her. Luo Jinsang had no choice but to leave dejectedly. Kong Ming saw that Chang Yi still had feelings for Ji Yunhe, but Chang Yi ridiculed him for also being trapped by love, leaving Kong Ming speechless.

Xue Sanyue came to the kitchen and saw that each jar containing ingredients had a tag with instructions, marked according to her dietary habits. A warm current surged in Xue Sanyue's heart. Li Shu then rushed back. Xue Sanyue admitted to him that she no longer hated him, but she just didn't have the courage to start over with him. Xue Sanyue wanted to see the radiant and spirited Li Shu from the past.

Li Shu was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but hug Xue Sanyue tightly. Ning Qing came every day to help Ru Ling remove the decaying flesh from her face and ordered people to keep a close watch on Ru Ling, not allowing her to touch that face. Ru Ling was in so much pain that she wished she were dead. Lin Haoqing brought medicine to Ru Ling to relieve the pain.

Ru Ling smelled it, and the pain really lessened a lot. She wanted to give Lin Haoqing some reward, but Lin Haoqing politely declined and reminded Ru Ling not to be so obsessed. Lin Haoqing had already sent this medicine to Ning Qing, but Ning Qing refused to give it to Ru Ling, which showed that Ning Qing didn't care about her at all and only wanted to preserve her face. Ru Ling didn't believe it at all.

Lin Haoqing repeatedly emphasized that Ru Ling was just someone else's substitute. Ru Ling couldn't help but recall how she wore a mermaid dress to please Ning Qing, but Ning Qing immediately turned hostile. Ru Ling was unwilling to accept this reality. She became angry and lashed out at Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing told her to go to the secret chamber in the quiet room to see for herself. Lin Haoqing had made two preparations.

He deliberately provoked the relationship between Ru Ling and Ning Qing, just wanting to use Ru Ling to deal with Ning Qing. He also sent people to North Abyss to gather information. The Immortal Master Mansion was eyeing North Abyss covetously. North Abyss was now without a leader. Qing Yao and her clansmen discussed making Chang Yi the Lord of North Abyss. This would not only rally the people but also deter the Immortal Master Mansion.

Chang Yi reluctantly agreed after much deliberation. Kong Ming saw through Chang Yi's worries. Once he became the Lord of North Abyss, imprisoning Ji Yunhe would no longer be his personal matter. Chang Yi could not be criticized because of Ji Yunhe's affairs. Ji Yunhe was born with a love for freedom, but fate played a cruel joke on her.

She went through countless hardships to escape from Thousand Flower Valley, only to be imprisoned by Ning Qing in Congji Jail for many years, and now she was locked up by Chang Yi on this lake island. Unable to escape, she had the idea of committing suicide. She pondered many methods, but they were all rejected. Chang Yi came to bring Ji Yunhe food.

Ji Yunhe wanted to commit suicide with charcoal fire, using the excuse that it was cold to ask Chang Yi to add charcoal fire to the room. Then, she stared intently at Chang Yi's handsome face, engraving it deeply in her heart. Ji Yunhe expressed her true feelings to Chang Yi, saying that if the events on the cliff that day had not happened, she would have been willing to be Chang Yi's lover for life.

Chang Yi thought she was very strange today. Luo Su was ordered by Qing Yao to invite Chang Yi, and Chang Yi left in a hurry without thinking too much. He would be attending the enthronement ceremony tomorrow and would not be able to see Ji Yunhe. Before leaving, he told Ji Yunhe to take her medicine and eat well.

Ji Yunhe asked A Ming to bring a few pots of red charcoal for heating, and she lay quietly in bed waiting to die. Early the next morning, Chang Yi stepped onto the altar and accepted the worship of the crowd. He suddenly felt a change in the mark on his ear and guessed that Ji Yunhe was in danger. Chang Yi ignored Qing Yao's dissuasion and rushed back to the lake island.

Ji Yunhe saw a mysterious woman in a coma. The woman advised her not to leave yet. Ji Yunhe woke up in a daze and found that her suicide had failed. The cold wind outside the window had blown out the brazier. Ji Yunhe was very frustrated. Chang Yi hurriedly arrived and stopped Ji Yunhe from committing suicide. Ji Yunhe simply picked up the hairpin on Chang Yi's head and stabbed it into her throat, wanting to die.

Chang Yi tried desperately to stop her. Ji Yunhe deliberately said harsh words to anger Chang Yi, forcing Chang Yi to kill her. Chang Yi warned her not to seek death again. Luo Su advised Chang Yi to go back as soon as possible to complete the enthronement ceremony and not to worry about Ji Yunhe anymore. Chang Yi was very impatient and shouted at Luo Su.

Chang Yi was heartbroken, he didn't expect that Ji Yunhe would rather die than stay by his side. Kong Ming lied that Chang Yi was not feeling well and managed to send away the celestial immortals and elders who came to attend the ceremony. Chang Yi rushed to ask him to save Ji Yunhe.

Kong Ming was very angry and reminded Chang Yi to put the overall situation first, not to alienate the Fox Clan brothers because of Ji Yunhe, and not to let down Qing Yao's deep affection. Chang Yi promised to give everyone an explanation, and Kong Ming was willing to treat Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi came to Qing Yao and promised to protect North Abyss. Qing Yao just wanted to know how Chang Yi would deal with Ji Yunhe.

Chang Yi repeatedly emphasized that Ji Yunhe did not belong to North Abyss, and he would keep a close watch on Ji Yunhe so that nothing would happen again. Qing Yao had no choice but to give up. Chang Yi added a bed to Ji Yunhe's room and moved all his things over. Chang Yi wanted to live with Ji Yunhe to prevent her from seeking death again. Ji Yunhe cried inwardly.

Episode 26 Recap

Chang Yi sent people to bring Ji Yunhe many rare and precious items to nourish her body, but Ji Yunhe didn't appreciate it. She ridiculed him for using his position for personal gain and being extravagant and wasteful, saying that he would lose his position sooner or later. Kong Ming entered and heard Ji Yunhe's words, and he retorted, criticizing Ji Yunhe for being too cruel to Chang Yi on the cliff back then.

Chang Yi urged Kong Ming to heal Ji Yunhe as soon as possible, but Kong Ming was also powerless. Chang Yi called Kong Ming out alone and begged him to save Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming instead advised him not to disregard the great cause of North Abyss for Ji Yunhe's sake.

Chang Yi didn't listen at all and even brought up the fact that Ji Yunhe risked her life to save the guilty immortal, proving that Ji Yunhe was not a wicked person. Kong Ming had no choice but to comply. Ning Qing came every day on time to remove the decaying flesh from Ru Ling's face. Ru Ling questioned Ning Qing's reason for saving her, but Ning Qing refused to answer. Ru Jun wanted to go to Daiyu to cultivate.

Before leaving, he came to bid farewell to Ru Ling, advising her to move back to the Heavenly Court to recuperate. Ru Ling firmly refused. She clearly remembered that when she and Ru Jun encountered a ferocious beast in Daiyu, they were only saved by Ning Qing's rescue. Ru Jun didn't want to mention the matter again, so he hastily bid farewell to Ru Ling and left.

Ru Ling came to the quiet room and saw the portrait in the secret chamber of a woman who looked just like her. She immediately understood everything. Ning Qing rushed over upon hearing the news. Ru Ling bitterly questioned Ning Qing, asking if he was treating her as someone else's substitute. In a fit of anger, Ru Ling wanted to burn the painting, and Ning Qing became furious on the spot.

He tied Ru Ling up and even used forbidden techniques to treat her facial wounds again, regardless of her pain. Kong Ming concocted a soup to relieve pain. Ji Yunhe didn't want to drink it and wanted a bowl of poison to die. Kong Ming already knew that whether it was on the cliff back then or now in North Abyss, Ji Yunhe was protecting Chang Yi.

Earlier, she first sent Luo Jinsang to invite Qing Ji out of the mountain, and then she released the guilty immortal for Chang Yi's sake. The reason why Kong Ming didn't tell Chang Yi about these things was because he didn't want Chang Yi to be distracted by Ji Yunhe and delay the great cause of North Abyss. Ji Yunhe also promised that she would use her remaining life to help Chang Yi as much as possible.

Then, Kong Ming forced Ji Yunhe to drink the soup so that Chang Yi could be at ease. Si Yu found out about Ru Ling breaking into the secret room, and she immediately reported it to Lin Haoqing. This was exactly what Lin Haoqing wanted. He wanted to provoke discord between Ning Qing and Ru Ling and use Ru Ling to deal with Ning Qing. Lin Haoqing came to Ru Ling, deliberately instigating her relationship with Ning Qing.

Ru Ling immediately turned hostile and slapped Lin Haoqing hard. Lin Haoqing encouraged Ru Ling to become stronger so that she could make Ning Qing willingly submit to her. Since that day of failed suicide, Ji Yunhe had not dreamed of that mysterious woman again. She drank Kong Ming's medicine and felt much better. After Chang Yi moved to the lake island, he handled official documents day and night.

Ji Yunhe felt sorry for him and advised him not to overwork himself. She took the initiative to show him goodwill and wanted to get along with him peacefully as before. Chang Yi couldn't help but kiss her. Kong Ming suddenly arrived, and Chang Yi hurriedly hid outside. In a moment of panic, Ji Yunhe accidentally knocked the bowl of soup to the ground. Kong Ming followed closely behind, reminding Chang Yi not to indulge in romantic love.

Chang Yi stubbornly wanted to move to his room to work, but Kong Ming strongly opposed it. He sought Chang Yi to discuss the battle plan, but Chang Yi was always absent-minded. Kong Ming couldn't help but tease him. Chang Yi didn't return to the lake island until very late. Ji Yunhe had been waiting for Chang Yi, wanting to know why Chang Yi kissed her. The merman were always devoted to their feelings, with one partner for life.

Chang Yi made it clear that Ji Yunhe would always be his person, and the merman mark he left on Ji Yunhe's ear was also unique. Ji Yunhe was very annoyed. Chang Yi would rather be alone for life than imprison her. Chang Yi didn't want to listen to her nagging and forcibly pressed her onto the bed to rest. Luo Jinsang was worried about Ji Yunhe and accidentally heard Qing Yao and the maid talking about Ji Yunhe's suicide.

She hurriedly came to Kong Ming to inquire about the truth. Kong Ming had no choice but to tell the truth. Ji Yunhe's suicide attempt failed, but she was also dying soon. Luo Jinsang was anxious and begged Kong Ming to save Ji Yunhe, but he was also powerless. Luo Jinsang had no choice but to beg Qing Ji to save Ji Yunhe. Li Shu also chimed in, and Qing Ji agreed.

Qing Ji brought Luo Jinsang, Li Shu, and Xue Sanyue to the lake island to see Ji Yunhe. Chang Yi couldn't bear to refuse Qing Ji's kindness, so he let them in. Luo Jinsang and Ji Yunhe reunited after a long separation, and their excitement was beyond words. Ji Yunhe couldn't close her mouth with happiness. Luo Jinsang showered her with concern.

Qing Ji took Ji Yunhe's pulse and bluntly stated that her body was beyond saving and that it would be better to die a quick death. Ji Yunhe had the same intention. Chang Yi didn't want to hear these things and forcibly drove them away. Ji Yunhe begged Chang Yi to let Luo Jinsang and them come to the lake island to accompany her more often.

Episode 27 Recap

Chang Yi personally witnessed Ji Yunhe showing a long-lost smile upon seeing Luo Jinsang and the others, and he immediately softened his heart, agreeing to let Luo Jinsang and the others visit Ji Yunhe often, as long as they didn't take her out of the lake island. Luo Su couldn't understand Chang Yi's actions and casually mentioned it to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming advised him not to pry, saying that Chang Yi himself didn't understand whether he wanted Ji Yunhe to be better or not, as long as she didn't leave him. Luo Jinsang learned from Kong Ming that Ji Yunhe didn't have long to live, so she came to Qing Ji for help. Qing Ji heard that there was a rare Jade Dew Ganoderma in Daiyu that could extend life.

Xue Sanyue volunteered to go and collect it to save Ji Yunhe. Li Shu wanted to go with her, but Luo Jinsang told Li Shu to stay and watch Chang Yi to ensure Ji Yunhe's safety. Xue Sanyue had no choice but to go to Daiyu alone. Ning Qing arrived on time to treat Ru Ling's facial wounds, specifically bringing an ointment made from Bone-connecting Grass.

Ru Ling knew that this ointment would cause excruciating pain when applied to her face, but she agreed to apply it as required and asked Ning Qing for a reward. She wanted to learn the same peerless magic as Ning Qing. Ning Qing readily agreed and permitted her to freely command all the spiritual masters. Luo Su followed Chang Yi's orders and allowed Luo Jinsang and the others to visit Ji Yunhe at any time.

Luo Jinsang came to chat with Ji Yunhe whenever she had time. Ji Yunhe knew that Chang Yi still cared about her in his heart. Luo Jinsang didn't want to see the two of them continue to torture each other like this and advised Ji Yunhe to tell Chang Yi the truth. Ji Yunhe didn't dare to say. Back then on the cliff, she had done such heartless things to Chang Yi, yet he still cared for her deeply.

Once Chang Yi knew that she had endured inhuman torture to save her own life, he would disregard everything for her. Ji Yunhe didn't want Chang Yi to betray the trust of the Fox clan people and affect the great cause of North Abyss because of her, so Luo Jinsang didn't insist anymore. Li Shu was worried about Xue Sanyue and was absent-minded every day, even when making fish soup for Qing Ji.

Qing Ji told him to go to Daiyu to find Xue Sanyue, promising that she would protect Ji Yunhe. Li Shu immediately set off to chase after Xue Sanyue. Luo Jinsang personally brewed sweet soup to please Kong Ming and asked him to help Ji Yunhe with her healing. Luo Jinsang promised to brew medicine for Kong Ming, and Kong Ming had no choice but to agree after being pestered.

Luo Jinsang stayed by the stove the whole time brewing the medicine. Kong Ming sighed at the deep bond between her and Ji Yunhe as master and servant. Luo Jinsang felt that their relationship had long surpassed that level and they were the best of friends. Kong Ming couldn't help but think of his old friend. Luo Jinsang thought his friend was dead and offered to be friends with him, which warmed Kong Ming's heart.

The spiritual masters sent by Lin Haoqing to inquire about information in North Abyss suddenly became covered in frost. Thanks to Kong Ming's medicine, he managed to delay the onset of the frost for them. Si Yu learned of this and immediately reported it to Lin Haoqing. Unexpectedly, the Immortal Master Mansion sent word that the antidote would be delayed for a few days. Lin Haoqing guessed that Ning Qing was using this to warn him not to act rashly.

Lin Haoqing didn't want to sit back and wait for death and decided to take a risk. Lin Haoqing requested permission from Ru Ling to lead troops to North Abyss to clear out the guilty immortals led by Chang Yi. Ru Ling readily agreed, specifically asking Lin Haoqing to kill Ji Yunhe as a token of allegiance for joining her, otherwise, she would kill everyone in Thousand Flower Valley.

Ru Ling humiliated Lin Haoqing in every way, but Lin Haoqing could only tolerate it for now. Lin Haoqing returned to Thousand Flower Valley and announced his decision to lead the army to North Abyss. Elders Mu Ze and Dong Lian and others advised Lin Haoqing to first deal with matters in the valley. Recently, spiritual masters in Thousand Flower Valley had been dying violently, causing panic.

Lin Haoqing didn't listen at all; he was determined to go his own way. Si Yu stepped forward to threaten and intimidate Mu Ze and Dong Lian, and they had no choice but to yield. Mu Ze and Dong Lian were greatly displeased with Lin Haoqing's sycophantic behavior and could only grumble in private. Mu Ze suddenly felt cold all over.

He heard that the spiritual masters in Thousand Flower Valley had been afflicted with frost on their bodies and feared he would die a violent death like Elder Liuying. Qu Xiaoxing accidentally overheard their conversation and rushed to report it to Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing didn't care about other people's gossip at all. Qu Xiaoxing guessed that he was going to North Abyss this time to break the frost and then rescue Ji Yunhe.

Lin Haoqing didn't tell him the plan for this trip, fearing that leaking the information would arouse Ru Ling's suspicion. Ning Qing deliberately delayed giving the antidote to Thousand Flower Valley for a few days, wanting to let the news about the frost spread and force Lin Haoqing to take action.

The mysterious person behind the portrait affirmed Ning Qing's actions and urged him to quickly help him reshape his human form, instead of spending all his time thinking about how to treat Ru Ling's face. Lin Haoqing retorted sharply. The news of Lin Haoqing leading troops to attack North Abyss spread quickly. Qi Feng complained that Chang Yi shouldn't have saved the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley and that Lin Haoqing was repaying kindness with enmity.

Chang Yi analyzed the situation in North Abyss in detail regarding timing, geographical advantage, and human factors, and publicly promised to lead the charge and protect North Abyss together with all fellow immortals. Everyone responded in agreement. Chang Yi instructed Luo Su and Kong Ming not to let Ji Yunhe know about the Thousand Flower Valley attack. Qing Yao wanted to accompany Chang Yi to relax, but Chang Yi politely refused.

He was in a hurry to collect herbs for Ji Yunhe, so Qing Yao had to give up. Luo Jinsang and Qing Ji came to chat with Ji Yunhe and revealed to her that Lin Haoqing was attacking North Abyss. Luo Jinsang unintentionally mentioned that she and Kong Ming improved their appearance through spiritual cultivation together, just like Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe thought they had engaged in physical intimacy and asked for the details.

Luo Jinsang described it vividly, which made Qing Ji burst into laughter and couldn't help but tease Ji Yunhe and Luo Jinsang. Luo Su saw that Kong Ming both loved and feared Luo Jinsang, so he gave him a box of rouge. Kong Ming gave the rouge box to Luo Jinsang when she came to pester him again, and Luo Jinsang accepted it happily. Ru Jun was concentrating on cultivating in Daiyu but was unable to grasp the key.

Lord Leize remembered that there was a Jade Dew Ganoderma here and told Ru Jun to take it to improve his cultivation. Unexpectedly, Xue Sanyue arrived one step ahead. She wanted to take the Ganoderma to save someone. Ru Jun quickly stopped her, saying that if the Ganoderma was picked before it matured, it would provoke retaliation. Ru Jun demonstrated it on the spot.

When he learned that Xue Sanyue was collecting the Ganoderma to save Ji Yunhe, he arranged accommodation for her and told her to wait a few more days. Chang Yi brought Ji Yunhe's favorite sweet garlic and falsely claimed that he liked to eat it. Ji Yunhe asked Chang Yi to eat it on the spot. Chang Yi took a bite with a stiff upper lip, finding it hard to swallow.

Ji Yunhe thanked him for his thoughtful effort and gave him a piece of soft armor that she had specially prepared for protection. Chang Yi left in a hurry because of something, and Ji Yunhe told him to come back soon.

Episode 28 Recap

Xue Sanyue sat numbly on the mountaintop, patiently waiting for the Jade Dew Ganoderma to mature. Feilian Shenjun worried that any anomaly with the Ganoderma might endanger her safety, so he came to accompany her. Feilian Shenjun praised Xue Sanyue's exquisite swordsmanship and persuaded her to assist Ru Jun with him in upholding justice and restoring peace to the immortal realm. Da Huan and Xiao Huan accompanied Li Shu to Daiyu.

Seeing Xue Sanyue chatting happily with Feilian Shenjun from afar, Da Huan and Xiao Huan plotted to get them to "turn raw rice into cooked rice," so Li Shu would completely give up on Xue Sanyue and obediently follow them back to Chongwu Mountain to inherit the family business. Li Shu had long seen through their intentions and stopped their actions in time. Da Huan and Xiao Huan were unwilling to give up and strongly protested to Li Shu.

Xue Sanyue rushed over upon hearing the commotion. From Da Huan and Xiao Huan's complaints, she learned that Li Shu considered her a karmic obstacle, and that as long as her resentment was eliminated, Li Shu could return to Chongwu Mountain in peace and live a carefree life. She was furious. Li Shu desperately explained, but she wouldn't listen at all.

She sent a Thousand Flower Valley thunder talisman towards Li Shu, keeping him three zhang away and forbidding him from approaching. Feilian Shenjun saw Li Shu's affection for Xue Sanyue and kindly advised Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue resented Li Shu's loose tongue and petulantly ignored him. In a fit of anger, Li Shu took Da Huan and Xiao Huan and left.

Qing Yao brought a piece of soft armor for Chang Yi as protection, only to learn that Ji Yunhe had already prepared one for him. She felt a pang of jealousy and had to put the soft armor away. Ji Yunhe's health was deteriorating day by day. She knew she was dying. In her hazy state, she saw the mysterious woman who had stopped her from committing suicide again. Ji Yunhe was curious about the woman's identity.

The woman claimed she was wherever the wind was. Ji Yunhe could only see her when she was weak. She asked Ji Yunhe for a favor. The woman who called herself Wind showed Ji Yunhe a memory. It turned out that Ning Qing and Ning Ruochu were fellow disciples. After Ning Ruochu and Qing Ji fell in love, he brought Ning Qing to meet Qing Ji.

Later, Ning Ruochu and Qing Ji lived in seclusion and were hunted by Thousand Flower Valley's spiritual masters. Qing Ji injured the spiritual masters, causing the conflict to escalate. Ning Qing sent a letter calling Ning Ruochu back to Thousand Flower Valley, telling him to trick Qing Ji into the Ten Directions Array. Finally, Ning Qing killed Ning Ruochu. After hearing this, Ji Yunhe suddenly felt excruciating pain all over.

The woman who called herself Wind quickly sent Ji Yunhe back. Ji Yunhe was curious about her identity. The woman removed her veil, revealing she looked exactly like Ru Ling. Ji Yunhe guessed that she was the person Ning Qing had been thinking about. The woman asked Ji Yunhe to tell Qing Ji the truth and ask Qing Ji to stop Ning Qing from acting recklessly.

Chang Yi was discussing battle plans with Qing Yao when the mark on his ear suddenly reacted. He guessed that Ji Yunhe was in danger and immediately rushed back to his dwelling on the lake island. Seeing the unconscious Ji Yunhe on the bed, he was frantic. Kong Ming examined her and found that the backlash had invaded Ji Yunhe's heart meridians, and he was helpless. Luo Jinsang hurried over and begged Kong Ming to save Ji Yunhe.

Kong Ming drove Luo Jinsang, Chang Yi, and Luo Su out, and he used his spiritual power to revive Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe finally woke up, but her body was severely damaged. Without a word, Chang Yi picked her up and transferred his spiritual power into the merman's pearl within Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming desperately tried to stop him, worried that Chang Yi, losing his spiritual power, would die on the battlefield.

Ji Yunhe wanted to return the merman's pearl to Chang Yi, but was too weak. Kong Ming, in a fit of pique, wanted to leave Chang Yi, but Luo Su held him back tightly. Ji Yunhe wanted to talk to Chang Yi alone, so Luo Jinsang and the others had to leave first. Ji Yunhe complained that Chang Yi shouldn't have saved her, shouldn't hold onto hatred, and should plan for North Abyss.

Chang Yi admitted he no longer hated her, and furthermore, he didn't rely on the merman's pearl or spiritual power to secure North Abyss. Qing Yao rushed over and learned that Chang Yi's merman's pearl was inside Ji Yunhe and that Chang Yi had exhausted his spiritual power to save Ji Yunhe. She was furious. Luo Jinsang explained that Chang Yi had given the merman's pearl to Ji Yunhe a long time ago. Qing Yao was heartbroken.

She had no choice but to go and confide her frustration to the ice-sealed Qing Xuan. Qing Xuan's finger moved slightly. Ji Yunhe asked Luo Jinsang to invite Qing Ji over. Qing Ji pointed out frankly that even if Chang Yi transferred all his spiritual power into the merman's pearl, it would only make Ji Yunhe appear more energetic, but it couldn't extend her life at all.

Ji Yunhe asked Qing Ji about the grievances between Ning Qing and Ning Ruochu. Qing Ji revealed that Ning Qing liked Ning Ruochu's master, Ning Xiyu. Ji Yunhe didn't ask any more questions, learning that Qing Ji had hated and resented Ning Ruochu, but had now moved on and looked forward. She couldn't bear to reopen the heavily scarred past and make Qing Ji sad. Chang Yi had long seen through Ru Ling's plot.

She wanted Thousand Flower Valley and North Abyss to wear each other out, and then reap the benefits. Chang Yi discussed negotiating peace with Lin Haoqing with Kong Ming, but worried that Lin Haoqing wouldn't agree. He decided to surround them without attacking until Lin Haoqing couldn't hold on. Li Shu tried to approach Xue Sanyue multiple times, but was blocked three zhang away by the thunder talismans.

Li Shu repeatedly explained that the talk of karmic obstacles was just a joke, but Xue Sanyue wouldn't listen at all, and even deliberately said harsh words to drive him away. Feilian Shenjun saw that Xue Sanyue had deep feelings for Li Shu and had only deliberately angered him away because she was worried about endangering his safety when picking the Ganoderma.

Her thoughts exposed, Xue Sanyue had to admit that she didn't want Li Shu to make any more sacrifices for her. Feilian Shenjun advised Xue Sanyue that what she thought and did might not be what Li Shu wanted. Chang Yi deployed his troops in the dense forest, trapping Lin Haoqing and the Thousand Flower Valley army in an formation. He also arranged for North Abyss forces to lie in wait on the periphery.

Qi Feng and Qing Yao led teams to set up defenses in the north. Qi Feng disregarded Qing Yao's dissuasion and led his men to surround and annihilate the Thousand Flower Valley forces. Ru Ling sent Zhu Ling as an overseer. Zhu Ling forced Lin Haoqing to hand over his military seal, wanting to lead the troops to break through the encirclement. Lin Haoqing resolutely refused.

Qu Xiaoxing detected unusual activity in the north, and Lin Haoqing ordered a breakthrough from there. Ji Yunhe begged Chang Yi not to kill Lin Haoqing. Unexpectedly, Lin Haoqing had already led his troops to break through the encirclement. Lin Haoqing sent Si Yu to negotiate peace and specifically requested to see Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe agreed to meet Si Yu. Zhu Ling forced Lin Haoqing to push through in one go and attack Ling Shuang Terrace.

Lin Haoqing didn't listen at all. He firmly believed he would conquer Ling Shuang Terrace sooner or later and even brought up Ru Ling, stating that Ru Ling's task for him was to capture Ji Yunhe. Zhu Ling was so angry he shouted. When Si Yu met Ji Yunhe, she went straight to the point and explained her purpose. Lin Haoqing agreed to negotiate peace on the condition that he takes Ji Yunhe away.

Chang Yi flatly refused, telling Si Yu unequivocally that it was impossible for him to hand over Ji Yunhe, Kong Ming, or anyone else protected by North Abyss. Si Yu had no choice but to return and report.

Episode 29 Recap

Lin Haoqing sent people to seal all roads in and out of North Abyss, and set up three major arrays. Kong Ming and Chang Yi discussed how to break the arrays. Ji Yunhe knew Lin Haoqing's tactics well and deduced that he would send the three spiritual masters to be the array eyes, with the rest assisting as a blockade. As long as they captured the three spiritual masters at the array eyes, all the blockades would disintegrate.

Ji Yunhe knew the power of the three spiritual masters well, and suggested that Kong Ming, Chang Yi, and Qing Ji lead teams separately to break through. Chang Yi knew that Ji Yunhe wanted to take this opportunity to return the merman's pearl to him. He worried that Ji Yunhe's body would not be able to last without the merman's pearl, but he couldn't think of a better way for the moment.

He decided to start acting tomorrow morning, finish the battle within one hour, and then transfer the merman's pearl back into Ji Yunhe's body. Luo Jinsang volunteered to persuade Qing Ji. Ji Yunhe wanted to return the merman's pearl to Chang Yi, and Luo Jinsang wanted to lend Ji Yunhe a hand. Kong Ming didn't allow her to meddle blindly and forcibly took her away.

Ji Yunhe wanted to use this hour to see Ning Xiyu again and ask for the truth of the matter. Si Yu returned to report to Lin Haoqing, revealing that Chang Yi had placed a merman mark behind Ji Yunhe's ear, and Chang Yi could sense Ji Yunhe's every move through the merman mark. It would be extremely difficult to take Ji Yunhe away.

Lin Haoqing also knew Ji Yunhe's tactics and decided to use himself as bait to bring Ji Yunhe out. Kong Ming and Qing Ji set off with their respective teams early in the morning. Chang Yi kissed Ji Yunhe and retrieved the merman's pearl. Ji Yunhe gave him countless instructions, and Chang Yi promised to return within one hour. After the merman's pearl left her body, Ji Yunhe's body was instantly emptied.

She couldn't care about anything else and only wanted to see Ning Xiyu. Ji Yunhe fainted due to exhaustion. Ning Xiyu appeared in her dream again. Ji Yunhe was eager to know how Ning Qing had become like this. Ning Xiyu clearly remembered the past events. When she was traveling in the mortal world with her disciple Ning Ruochu, she was attacked in the woods by a young evil spirit.

Ning Xiyu discovered that the small evil spirit was the descendant of a spiritual master, had some spiritual power on him, and was good at painting. So she asked him to paint one for her. Ning Xiyu brought him back to Thousand Flower Valley, named him Ning Qing, and took him as her personal disciple. Ning Xiyu taught according to aptitude, teaching Ning Ruochu sword techniques and personally teaching Ning Qing various array formations.

Ning Qing and Ning Ruochu grew up. Ning Ruochu violated Thousand Flower Valley's iron rule and fell in love with Qing Ji. The clan members led by the Lin family pushed all the blame onto Ning Xiyu, not only crippling half of her cultivation but also driving her out of Thousand Flower Valley and erasing all records of her being the Valley Master. Ning Qing left with Ning Xiyu.

They traveled all over the mortal world, and Ning Xiyu wrote many travelogues, including the Guangwu Collection. Ning Xiyu and Ning Qing traveled and spiritualized while traveling. Ning Qing wanted to achieve a great merit to let Ning Xiyu return to Thousand Flower Valley. He used ruthless methods for spiritual control, but was surrounded and attacked by evil spirits. Ning Xiyu died on the spot. Ning Qing was heartbroken and devastated.

He swore to make the Lin family and Qing Ji pay for her death. Ning Qing brought the news of Ning Xiyu's death back to Thousand Flower Valley. He knelt for three days and three nights before being allowed to stay. He began his crazy revenge. First, he made Ning Ruochu trick Qing Ji into the Ten Directions Array, and then brutally killed Ning Ruochu.

Ning Xiyu entrusted Ji Yunhe to tell Qing Ji the truth of the matter and ask Qing Ji to stop Ning Qing's crazy actions. Seeing that the hour was almost up, Ning Xiyu sensed that Chang Yi and Kong Ming had achieved victory. She lent her eyes to Ji Yunhe, and Ji Yunhe clearly saw the battle situation of Qing Ji. Luo Jinsang tricked Qing Ji to the front line.

When the disciples of Thousand Flower Valley saw Qing Ji, they were terrified and ran away in a hurry. Qing Ji came directly to the main tent and, without explanation, captured Lin Haoqing. This was exactly what Lin Haoqing intended. Ji Yunhe was burning with anxiety. Her plan was to capture the three spiritual masters, but she didn't expect Qing Ji to capture Lin Haoqing.

She was eager to go back and help Chang Yi resolve the difficulties, so she promised Ning Xiyu that she would pass the message to Qing Ji. Ji Yunhe suddenly felt the merman's pearl return to her body. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Chang Yi transferring the merman's pearl into her body. Kong Ming hurried over to report to Chang Yi that Qing Ji had changed the plan without authorization and captured Lin Haoqing.

Luo Jinsang followed to take credit. She had helped Qing Ji capture Lin Haoqing and was harshly scolded by Kong Ming. Ji Yunhe wanted to see Lin Haoqing. Chang Yi gave her an incense stick's time. Ji Yunhe dragged her sick body to see Lin Haoqing, earnestly advising him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and not fall for Ning Qing's scheme. Lin Haoqing made various excuses to evade.

Ji Yunhe guessed that Lin Haoqing had deliberately been captured with the purpose of taking her back to report to Ruling. Lin Haoqing readily admitted this and even taught Ji Yunhe the secret method to avoid the merman mark. After Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi left, Lin Haoqing sent a signal to Si Yu, telling Si Yu to lead people in a feint attack. He wanted to take Ji Yunhe away during the chaos.

Ji Yunhe thought of Lin Haoqing taking her away and couldn't help but laugh out loud. This instantly angered Chang Yi. Chang Yi thought she was happy to see Lin Haoqing and became fiercely jealous. Chang Yi pressed Ji Yunhe hard, saying that as long as she explained that what happened at the cliff back then was against her will, he would completely forgive her. Ji Yunhe remained silent. Chang Yi had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Luo Jinsang saw this scene and sighed with emotion, advising Ji Yunhe to tell Chang Yi the truth. Ji Yunhe knew she didn't have much time left and didn't want Chang Yi to be sad because of her departure. Qing Xuan suddenly woke up. Qing Yao and Qi Feng rushed over upon hearing the news.

Qing Xuan learned about the current situation in North Abyss and sent Qi Feng to the lake island to keep a close eye on Ji Yunhe. If she and Lin Haoqing made any moves, they should be killed on the spot. Qing Yao worried that Chang Yi would be sad because of this. Qi Feng took the opportunity to say many bad things about Chang Yi. Qing Xuan was greatly angered.

Qing Yao had to admit that Chang Yi truly loved Ji Yunhe and that she had lied about being engaged to Chang Yi out of eagerness to save someone's life. Qing Xuan advised Qing Yao to relax, saying that Chang Yi wouldn't blame her given the life-saving favor. Xue Sanyue patiently waited for the Jade Dew Ganoderma to mature.

Li Shu saw the golden edge of the Jade Dew Ganoderma disappear from afar and mistakenly thought it was mature, so he rushed ahead to pluck it. Unexpectedly, the Jade Dew Ganoderma was only pretending to be mature. Li Shu's action was met with retaliation, triggering the Boundless Golden Thunder. Thunder rolled across the sky. Xue Sanyue worried that Li Shu would be injured and tried to send him flying with a palm strike.

Episode 30 Recap

The Boundless Golden Thunder was immense in power, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Li Shu rushed over without hesitation and tightly held Xue Sanyue. Explosions of thunder erupted around them, one after another. Ru Jun witnessed the power of the Boundless Golden Thunder firsthand. Disregarding Master Fei Lian's advice, he cast the immortal decree left by the previous emperor to block the golden thunder.

The immortal decree was shattered into pieces, but it created a protective shield around Li Shu and Xue Sanyue, leaving them unharmed. After the Boundless Golden Thunder subsided, tranquility returned to the world. Master Lei Ze picked up the fragments of the immortal decree, sighing repeatedly and complaining that Ru Jun should not have destroyed the immortal decree. Xue Sanyue and Li Shu proactively apologized to Ru Jun.

Ru Jun felt that life was far more valuable and worth protecting than the immortal decree, and instead comforted them. Master Fei Lian was very relieved; Ru Jun had finally enlightened. Ru Jun recalled the topographical map that had been troubling him for a long time. With an accidental revelation from Li Shu, he re-adjusted the deployment and quickly understood the hidden secrets.

Ru Jun discovered that the Jade Dew Ganoderma was mature, picked it himself, and handed it to Xue Sanyue, telling her to take it back quickly to save Ji Yunhe. Xue Sanyue dared not delay and immediately took Li Shu away from Daiyu. Si Yu made a detailed deployment, sending Qu Xiaoxing to lead people in a feint attack tonight. She was rushing to Ling Shuang Platform to meet Lin Haoqing.

Si Yu instructed Qu Xiaoxing to be wary of Zhu Ling everywhere to prevent him from disrupting Lin Haoqing's plan. Ji Yunhe learned from A Ming that Chang Yi and Kong Ming would discuss military matters until late at night, so she temporarily sealed the merman mark using the secret method taught by Lin Haoqing, wanting to leave without saying goodbye to Chang Yi. Chang Yi had been restless.

Although the merman mark showed no unusual signs, he was still worried about Ji Yunhe and wanted to go back to check on her. Unexpectedly, the spiritual masters suddenly launched a night attack. Chang Yi immediately took Kong Ming to investigate. Ji Yunhe struggled to reach the Wuwang Cave where Lin Haoqing was imprisoned. Lin Haoqing knocked out the guards with ease.

He discovered that Ji Yunhe had suffered a backlash reaching her heart meridian and hurried to take her away. Qing Yao and Qi Feng suddenly arrived with their people. They blocked the path of Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe. Qi Feng loudly accused Ji Yunhe of being a traitor, daring to escape with Lin Haoqing behind Chang Yi's back. Qing Xuan arrived afterward.

Ji Yunhe repeatedly explained that Lin Haoqing and the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley were also victims and had their own unavoidable difficulties. Qing Xuan did not believe her at all. Qi Feng was still fanning the flames on the side.

Ji Yunhe advised Qing Xuan not to let North Abyss suffer from war any longer, but Qing Xuan did not listen, ordering the execution of Ji Yunhe and Lin Haoqing, determined not to let Ji Yunhe disturb Chang Yi's mind. Ji Yunhe did not want to fight and wished to escape before Chang Yi noticed. Kong Ming discovered that the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley were staging a feint attack, seemingly covering something up.

Chang Yi realized that the merman mark had been sealed, which was why he couldn't sense Ji Yunhe's situation. Luo Jinsang rushed to report to Chang Yi that Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe had been cornered by the awakened Fox King Qing Xuan. Chang Yi immediately rushed there with Kong Ming. Ji Yunhe used her special technique, Hidden Soul Needle. Qi Feng took the opportunity to falsely accuse Ji Yunhe of killing Qing Shu.

Qing Xuan believed him and launched a deadly attack on Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing rushed over without hesitation to protect Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe revealed her nine-tailed fox form and counterattacked. Qing Xuan was struck, vomited blood, and fainted. Qing Yao ordered the killing of Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe. Lin Haoqing supported Ji Yunhe as they broke through the encirclement. Si Yu arrived in time to meet them.

Just as Si Yu was about to leave with Lin Haoqing and Ji Yunhe, the Fox clan disciples chased after them and surrounded them. Chang Yi and Kong Ming descended from the sky. Upon learning that Qing Xuan was seriously injured, Chang Yi sent Kong Ming to save him. Chang Yi was heartbroken, having never expected that Ji Yunhe's elaborate efforts were merely to escape with Lin Haoqing.

In a fit of anger, he vowed to imprison Ji Yunhe for life, ordering her to be sent back to the lake island and Lin Haoqing and Si Yu to be confined in Wuwang Cave. Kong Ming discovered that Qing Xuan's spiritual core was shattered, and his brief awakening was merely a final flicker of life; there was no way to save him. Qi Feng gnashed his teeth in anger, shifting all blame onto Ji Yunhe.

Chang Yi had long seen through his scheme and deliberately let Ji Yunhe go to Wuwang Cave to "rescue" someone, intending to frame her for jailbreaking and then kill her. Qing Xuan used his last breath to reveal that Qing Yao had expended half of her spiritual power to help Chang Yi condense a spiritual core, forcing Chang Yi to kill Ji Yunhe and defend North Abyss with Qing Yao. After saying this, Qing Xuan passed away.

Chang Yi was distraught, having not expected Qing Yao to sacrifice so much for him, and he found himself in a dilemma. Chang Yi came to Wuwang Cave to question Lin Haoqing, wanting to know if he had planned this escape. Lin Haoqing retorted against Chang Yi, repeatedly claiming that Ji Yunhe treated Chang Yi as an outsider.

Just then, a subordinate reported to Chang Yi that Qing Yao and Qi Feng had barged into the main hall, demanding an explanation from Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing mocked Chang Yi's inability to protect Ji Yunhe and advised him to release her. Chang Yi vowed to protect Ji Yunhe at all costs. Lin Haoqing sent a signal to Qu Xiaoxing, telling him to lead the troops to retreat and avoid unnecessary casualties. Chang Yi returned to the main hall.

Qi Feng rallied the clan members against him, forcing him to kill Ji Yunhe to avenge Qing Xuan. Chang Yi refused to let anyone harm Ji Yunhe. Qing Yao became furious, but Chang Yi did not back down. He immediately returned half of his life's spiritual power to Qing Yao, promising to protect North Abyss and forbidding anyone from taking Ji Yunhe away. Qing Yao was heartbroken that Chang Yi still remained devoted to Ji Yunhe despite her repeated betrayals.

Qu Xiaoxing received Lin Haoqing's order and wanted to lead everyone to retreat from the battlefield. Zhu Ling vehemently refused, forcing them to attack Ling Shuang Platform with all their might. Qu Xiaoxing strongly protested. Zhu Ling suspected Lin Haoqing had other intentions in this battle. He loudly declared that all spiritual masters had Frost on them and would eventually die. The spiritual masters looked at each other in terror.

Elder Donglian and Elder Muze rushed over upon hearing the news, demanding Zhu Ling explain the origin of the Frost. Zhu Ling ignored them and ordered an attack on North Abyss tomorrow morning. Elder Muze raised an objection. Zhu Ling used his power to activate the Frost. Elder Muze's body was instantly frozen. Zhu Ling also threatened them by mentioning Ru Ling. Qu Xiaoxing forced Zhu Ling to produce the antidote to save Elder Muze, but Zhu Ling firmly refused.

Elder Donglian used all his spiritual power to save Elder Muze, but all his efforts were in vain. Elder Muze knew he wouldn't make it. He used all his strength to stop Elder Donglian and soon passed away. Chang Yi was left with only half of his spiritual power, and his strength gradually failed him. He had no choice but to temporarily seal his meridians. Qing Yao was very sad and stayed by the door.

Kong Ming clearly stated that North Abyss's enemy was not Ji Yunhe but Ning Qing and Ru Ling, advising Qing Yao to recognize the situation and think carefully before acting. Ji Yunhe remained unconscious and saw Ning Xiyu again. From her, she learned that Qing Xuan had passed away. Ji Yunhe felt deeply guilty.

Ning Xiyu advised her not to blame herself; Qing Xuan's awakening was only a final flicker of life relying on a bit of Qing Yao's spiritual power. Ji Yunhe felt a little relieved. She woke up groggily and saw Luo Jinsang guarding her side. She knew her time was running out and wanted to see Chang Yi one last time. Unaware of the truth, Chang Yi refused to see Ji Yunhe and forcibly drove Luo Jinsang away.

Luo Jinsang bumped into Kong Ming as she went out. Kong Ming showed her concern. Luo Jinsang pleaded with Kong Ming to let Ji Yunhe go. Kong Ming reluctantly agreed, unable to bear it. Luo Jinsang happily went back to pack her things. Ji Yunhe waited bitterly but Chang Yi did not show up. She completely gave up hope and asked A Ming to help deliver a letter. Chang Yi stood outside Ji Yunhe's door, hesitating.

Seeing Ji Yunhe tormented and riddled with wounds, his heart ached. Qing Ji advised Chang Yi to have a good talk with Ji Yunhe. The spiritual masters attacked again. Chang Yi wanted to wait until this turmoil was settled, then have a drink with Ji Yunhe and Qing Ji before letting Ji Yunhe leave. Ji Yunhe said goodbye to A Ming. Kong Ming arrived in time to save her. Ji Yunhe begged Kong Ming to help her regain some strength.

She wanted to stop Ning Qing and Ru Ling's scheme. Kong Ming repeatedly explained that it was just a brief final flicker of life and she would soon pass away. Ji Yunhe felt that it was a good way for her, the top spiritual master of Thousand Flower Valley, to make her exit this way.

Episode 31 Recap

The armies of Thousand Flower Valley and North Abyss were arrayed against each other, a great battle on the verge of breaking out. Ji Yunhe wanted to stop this war in the last moments of her life and completely dismantle the schemes of Ning Qing and Ru Ling. Kong Ming was deeply moved by her passion and gave her a pill that could grant a burst of spiritual energy.

Ji Yunhe asked Kong Ming to take her to see Qing Yao. Kong Ming dismissed the guards and brought Ji Yunhe to pay respects to Qing Xuan. Seeing the murderer of her father before her eyes, Qing Yao gritted her teeth with hatred. Ji Yunhe clearly stated that she was a dying person and wanted to return the merman pearl to Chang Yi so he could regain his full spiritual power.

Ji Yunhe swore to stop this war even at the cost of her life, saving North Abyss from devastation. Qing Yao was moved by her sincerity. Zhu Ling sent people to scout the battle situation at the front line, intending to strike when both Thousand Flower Valley and North Abyss were weakened and wipe them all out. Zhu Ling forced Qu Xiaoxing and Elder Donglian to lead the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley to declare war on North Abyss.

Chang Yi led the celestial beings of North Abyss to calmly meet the challenge. The celestial beings of North Abyss had high morale, while the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley were dispirited. Chang Yi advised them to retreat immediately, promising to safely release Lin Haoqing and ensuring neither side would intrude upon the other from then on. If they insisted on fighting, Chang Yi would fight to the end, letting them witness the strength of North Abyss.

The spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley exchanged glances. Qu Xiaoxing and Donglian also did not want to fight, but they had no retreat as they were threatened by Zhu Ling. At Qu Xiaoxing's command, the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley bravely charged forward. Both sides were on edge, about to engage in direct combat. Ji Yunhe, Qing Yao, and Kong Ming arrived in time.

Chang Yi, worried that Qu Xiaoxing might take Ji Yunhe away, rushed over to protect her. Instead, Ji Yunhe comforted him. Ji Yunhe declared publicly that Lin Haoqing's actions in this battle were not just for her, but also to save everyone in Thousand Flower Valley. Ning Qing had tightly controlled them with Frost, and only by defecting to North Abyss could they gain a sliver of hope. Otherwise, both sides would suffer heavy losses, falling into Ning Qing's trap.

Kong Ming admitted that he had developed a medicine to suppress the Frost. Elder Donglian worried that the celestial beings of North Abyss would retaliate against them. Qing Yao, in the name of the Fox King's daughter, publicly announced that she would accept them without holding grudges. Together, everyone would unite to fight against Ning Qing and Ru Ling.

Ji Yunhe, as a spiritual master, earnestly persuaded her former comrades, explaining the stakes and encouraging everyone to bravely face the current predicament and not yield to Ning Qing. Chang Yi also declared his stance on the spot, promising that North Abyss and Thousand Flower Valley would never betray each other. Qu Xiaoxing was the first to step forward and surrender to North Abyss. The spiritual masters unanimously requested to join North Abyss.

A long-lost smile appeared on Ji Yunhe's face. Zhu Ling suddenly appeared, angrily accusing Qu Xiaoxing of betraying him. He immediately activated the Frost on the spiritual masters, and they were instantly frozen. Ji Yunhe rushed out without hesitation, exhausting all her spiritual power to use her fox fire to melt the Frost for the spiritual masters. She fainted from exhaustion. Chang Yi quickly carried her back to the lake island. Ji Yunhe was on her last breath.

She only wanted to see the snow one last time. Chang Yi used all his might to try and save her, but his efforts were in vain. Ji Yunhe used her last breath to touch Chang Yi, hoping he wouldn't be in pain.

In her heart, Ji Yunhe wanted to tell Chang Yi that she had never betrayed him, but had only told a lie for the greater good from the beginning, and everything she did afterward was for his sake. However, things went against her wishes; Chang Yi misunderstood her, and then hated her to the bone. Ji Yunhe didn't want Chang Yi to harbor hatred and wanted him to be free from it.

But in the end, Ji Yunhe still buried the truth in her heart. Afterward, Ji Yunhe's eyes were forever closed. Chang Yi was heartbroken and in unbearable pain. He wanted to infuse his spiritual power into the merman pearl again to save Ji Yunhe, but the merman pearl had already left Ji Yunhe's body. Chang Yi refused to accept the fact that Ji Yunhe was dead, thinking she was faking her death to escape.

Luo Jinsang and Kong Ming rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing that Ji Yunhe had passed away, they were also very distressed. Luo Jinsang severely reprimanded Chang Yi. Chang Yi had long stopped hating Ji Yunhe; he only wanted to keep her by his side and hear her explanation, but he had unintentionally harmed her. Chang Yi was filled with regret. Luo Jinsang directed all her anger towards Kong Ming, blaming him for not protecting Ji Yunhe.

She also knew that Kong Ming had planned from the beginning for Ji Yunhe to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Kong Ming was unable to defend himself. Luo Jinsang, in a fit of pique, wanted to break ties with Kong Ming. She went to complain to Qing Ji but found that Qing Ji had already returned to Leyou Mountain. Luo Jinsang had no choice but to drown her sorrows in alcohol alone.

Qing Yao came before Qing Xuan's spirit tablet to repent. She remembered Ji Yunhe's dying wish; Ji Yunhe had entrusted her to treat the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley kindly. Qing Yao had not expected Ji Yunhe to desperately stop this war and bring peace and tranquility back to North Abyss. She reflected on her mistakes and promised Qing Xuan that she would protect North Abyss well.

When Xue Sanyue and Li Shu arrived with the Jade Dew Ganoderma to save Ji Yunhe, they learned that she had already died. Both of them were heartbroken. Ru Jun saw a meteor streaking across the sky and guessed that an immortal had perished. He had not expected it to be Ji Yunhe and felt a sense of lament in his heart. Zhu Ling returned to report to Ru Ling. Ru Ling severely scolded him.

Ru Jun arrived in time with his people and punished Zhu Ling with twelve bolts of thunder punishment, assigning Master Fei Lian to supervise the execution. Ru Jun brought Ru Ling to the Bodhi tree on Langfeng Peak. Back then, Ru Jun's spiritual essence was sealed there, and Ru Ling had meticulously cared for him. Ru Jun had not expected Ru Ling to become so vicious and cruel now.

He advised Ru Ling to turn back before it was too late, but Ru Ling completely ignored him and even spoke self-righteously. Ru Jun, in a fit of anger, stripped Ru Ling of her celestial title and ordered her confinement to her bedchamber. Ru Ling resisted desperately, but Ru Jun remained firm. Qing Ji received a letter left by Ji Yunhe before her death. The letter detailed the truth of Ning Qing's murder of Ning Ruochu.

Ji Yunhe originally did not want to involve Qing Ji in the cycle of hatred, but finally realized that it would be unfair to Qing Ji not to. She hoped Qing Ji would not seek revenge rashly. Qing Ji secretly resolved to wait until Ning Qing's fortunes were depleted before seeking revenge on him.

Episode 32 Recap

Ru Jun brought Master Fei Lian and Master Lei Ze to the North Abyss to find Chang Yi. Chang Yi had locked himself away on the lake island and refused to show himself, so Ru Jun had no choice but to wait patiently. Chang Yi stayed by Ji Yunhe's side, his heart torn as he looked at her cold face.

A letter fell out of Ji Yunhe's favorite "Guangwu Collection", detailing unforgettable moments from when Ji Yunhe took Chang Yi to Lutai Mountain and traveled in the mortal realm. The scenes of them making wishes together were still vivid. Now, their wishes were hard to fulfill, but there were still the wishes of thousands upon thousands of people in the world.

With the two of them separated by life and death, Chang Yi saw her belongings and thought of her, his heart filled with mixed emotions. After much painful reflection, Chang Yi agreed to see Ru Jun. Luo Su invited Ru Jun to the lake island. Ru Jun first apologized to Chang Yi for failing to stop the war.

Following that, Ru Jun proposed joining forces with Chang Yi to fight against the Immortal Master Mansion and restore peace to the Immortal Realm. Chang Yi did not respond immediately, and Ru Jun asked him to consider it carefully. Chang Yi came to Shanglin, recalling the past moments of Ji Yunhe taking him here to enjoy the scenery, his heart filled with a strange mix of emotions. Chang Yi buried Ji Yunhe in the icy, snowy place she loved most.

That was the end point of Ji Yunhe's escape, where Chang Yi had once witnessed Ji Yunhe at her most authentic and happy. Now, he would let Yunhe dissipate with the wind in this place, and he would bear the remaining worldly constraints. Luo Jinsang, Li Shu, Kong Ming, Qu Xiaoxing, and the spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley, as well as Qing Yao and the celestial beings of North Abyss, witnessed Ji Yunhe's passing. They were all deeply moved.

Luo Su brought out all of Chang Yi's belongings. Chang Yi sealed the house where Ji Yunhe had lived right there. Luo Su accidentally dropped a travel journal that Ji Yunhe often read onto the ground. Chang Yi saw that one page was dog-eared, and Ji Yunhe had marked the words "Ning Qing" on it. Chang Yi guessed this was related to Ning Qing, so he sent someone to invite Ru Jun to the Great Hall for discussion.

Ru Jun couldn't guess who the author of the travel journal was, nor her relationship with Ning Qing. Kong Ming arrived in time to explain everything. Ji Yunhe had told him the whole story before her death, so Kong Ming recounted the grievances and tangled affections between Ning Xiyu, Ning Ruochu, Qing Ji, and Ning Qing in full detail.

Kong Ming also revealed that Ning Qing was able to rapidly improve his cultivation and developed Frost because he had found a power that was both powerful and terrifying. It turned out that while Ning Xiyu was traveling with Ning Qing, they stumbled upon a barren mountain by chance. The mountain was very strange; it could show people what they longed for most and also what they feared most.

When Ning Xiyu wanted to investigate the reason, she discovered they had already left the mountain. When she turned back to look for it, the mountain had vanished without a trace. After Ning Xiyu's death, Ning Qing surprisingly found that mountain. After he came out of the mountain, he brought a mysterious power.

Not only did his cultivation greatly increase, soaring directly to become the head of the spiritual masters, but he also developed Frost, punished the Lin clan, and subsequently controlled Thousand Flower Valley. Ru Jun carefully examined the map of the mountain. He suddenly remembered that the Immortal Decree pointed to this mountain. As long as this mountain was found, the mystery surrounding Ning Qing could be clarified.

Ru Jun borrowed the travel journal from Chang Yi, wanting to go back and study it thoroughly. Before leaving, Ru Jun advised Chang Yi to control his grief and wished that he could await the return of his departed friend. Qing Yao released Lin Haoqing and Si Yu and promised to treat the spiritual masters kindly. Only then did Lin Haoqing feel at ease taking Si Yu away.

His purpose in this battle was to send the spiritual masters to North Abyss for refuge. He decided to return to Thousand Flower Valley to continue searching for a way to break the Frost. Qu Xiaoxing, Elder Donglian, and others were willing to continue following Lin Haoqing. Lin Haoqing didn't want them to take risks with him, but Donglian and Qu Xiaoxing's minds were made up.

Lin Haoqing sent Elder Donglian to lead people to search for medicinal materials to break the Frost and asked Qu Xiaoxing to remain in North Abyss to look after the spiritual masters. Qu Xiaoxing could only comply. Lin Haoqing brought Si Yu to the depths of the dense forest and quickly found a nine-tailed fox. That was Ji Yunhe's other form.

Ji Yunhe had double meridians in her body, so even if her immortal body perished, a nine-tailed fox still survived in the mortal realm. Lin Haoqing wanted to take the nine-tailed fox back to cultivate and help her regain human form as soon as possible. In fact, Lin Haoqing had already planned everything. That's why he agreed to hand Ji Yunhe over to Ru Ling for disposal.

If Ji Yunhe were executed, Lin Haoqing could deceive everyone and take her other form back. Si Yu couldn't help but marvel at his painstaking efforts for Ji Yunhe. Xue Sanyue was heartbroken over the loss of her friend Ji Yunhe. She was very sad and decided to search for that mountain. Li Shu was willing to accompany her. Luo Jinsang was heartbroken over Ji Yunhe's death, sitting in the snow every day and drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

Kong Ming felt very pained and kindly advised her, but Luo Jinsang didn't appreciate it and retorted sarcastically at Kong Ming. Kong Ming advised her to take good care of herself. Lin Haoqing brought the nine-tailed fox back to Thousand Flower Valley and settled it in the house next to the sea of flowers, which was where Ji Yunhe had once lived. Lin Haoqing set up a barrier there.

He spent half of his life's spiritual power and finally turned the nine-tailed fox into a little girl. Lin Haoqing was so emotional that tears welled up in his eyes. He named her A Ji. The mysterious person originally intended to use the power of slaughter from the battle between Thousand Flower Valley and North Abyss to regain human form, but it was resolved by Ji Yunhe.

He spoke maliciously to Ning Qing, forcing Ning Qing to fulfill his promise quickly, otherwise he would choose another ally. Ru Ling dreamed that her facial injury had healed and was restored to its original state. Unexpectedly, Ning Qing injured her face again. Ru Ling cried out in alarm. The voice of the mysterious person suddenly appeared, using provocation to ignite Ru Ling's fighting spirit and urging her to seize the spiritual power of others for her own use.

Ru Ling woke up and tried seizing the spiritual power of an immortal attendant, only then realizing that what happened in her dream was real. She was overjoyed and immediately sent for Zhu Ling.

Episode 33 Recap

Fairy Shunde dispatched Zhu Ling to lead the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion to the human realm to arrest the escaped spiritual masters. Zhu Ling came to the Immortal Master for instructions. Ji Chengyu reported the matter to the Immortal Master. The Immortal Master not only did not stop Fairy Shunde but let her act recklessly.

He had just developed a medicine that could restore Fairy Shunde's face to its original state and asked Ji Chengyu to add it to the medicinal soup Fairy Shunde usually drank. Ji Chengyu pleaded with the Immortal Master to stop Fairy Shunde's wanton actions, fearing she would indiscriminately kill innocents and provoke public anger. The Immortal Master forbade Ji Chengyu from interfering randomly and even threatened and warned him.

Ji Chengyu handed the token to Zhu Ling, reminding him not to aid evil and harm fellow disciples, otherwise he would lose the remaining half of his life. Zhu Ling did not listen at all and retorted sarcastically at Ji Chengyu. Zhu Ling held the token and gathered the disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion, issuing the order to arrest the spiritual masters. Seeing this scene, Ji Chengyu felt very uncomfortable.

His junior martial brother, Ji Ning, was also among the group. He proactively requested to follow Zhu Ling's operation, wanting to find an opportunity to protect those spiritual masters. Xue Sanyue, Li Shu, Heavenly King, Master Lei Ze, and Master Fei Lian, a group of five, traveled day and night, trekking through mountains and waters to search for that mysterious mountain. However, they all returned without success.

Because a long time had passed and the landscape had changed, they didn't know where to start searching. The Heavenly King decided to return to the Ping Shui Study in the Celestial Court to look for clues by reviewing the Celestial Scrolls. He asked Li Shu and Xue Sanyue to stay in the human realm to continue gathering information.

Since the Ping Shui Study was transformed from the Realm of Wu Ji and was vast, once inside, they could not receive information from the outside world. The Heavenly King gave them numerous instructions. Master Fei Lian specifically prepared a mysterious gift for Li Shu and Xue Sanyue. Li Shu was very curious, and Master Fei Lian told him to wait patiently, and he would know when the time came.

Ji Chengyu took out the tiger doll that Kong Ming had asked Chang Yi to bring to him, and couldn't help but recall the past when he and Kong Ming cultivated together at the Immortal Master Mansion. On Kong Ming's birthday one year, Ji Chengyu gave him this little tiger doll. Now, Kong Ming had passed the doll to him as a token, meaning for him to vanquish demons and evil like a little tiger.

But Ji Chengyu could not do anything disloyal or unfilial towards the Immortal Master, so he could only place his hopes on Kong Ming. Li Shu and Xue Sanyue inquired for information everywhere. As the sky gradually darkened, the two of them wanted to find an inn to rest. It turned out that only one inn in the entire city had a vacant room, and there was only one room and one set of bedding.

Xue Sanyue had no choice but to stay there. Li Shu guessed that this was a gift specially arranged by Master Fei Lian, and he rejoiced inwardly. Chang Yi handled official duties day and night, not allowing himself a moment of leisure, lest he think of the deceased Ji Yunhe. Luo Su saw this and felt anxious, so he had to seek help from Kong Ming. Kong Ming gently advised Chang Yi, but he just could not let go.

Kong Ming received a letter from Ji Chengyu and wanted to bring people to rescue the spiritual masters to North Abyss. Chang Yi readily agreed. Kong Ming came to bid farewell to Luo Jinsang and saw her brewing wine. Luo Jinsang wanted to sell the wine for an immortal island to continue the unfinished dream she shared with Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming reluctantly said goodbye to Luo Jinsang. Luo Jinsang felt empty inside and decided to leave North Abyss.

A Ji lived with Si Yu and Lin Haoqing within the barrier set up by Lin Haoqing, with no contact with the outside world. Lin Haoqing doted on A Ji. A Ji lived happily and carefree every day. Her appetite was astonishing, and in just over ten days, A Ji had grown significantly taller. Lin Haoqing looked at the intelligent and lively A Ji and couldn't help but think of Ji Yunhe, feeling incredibly happy.

A Ji was awakened by a nightmare, breaking out in a cold sweat. Lin Haoqing rushed over upon hearing this. A Ji wanted to go out and see the outside world. Lin Haoqing promised to teach her defensive spells and then take her to travel the vast world. A Ji cheered with joy. With Lin Haoqing's careful tending, A Ji quickly grew into an adult appearance.

Lin Haoqing taught her the art of transformation and disguise, changing A Ji into a handsome boy. She couldn't wait to go out and play. Lin Haoqing laid down three rules for her: never go to Lutai Mountain, never show her true face to others, and never enter North Abyss. A Ji swore on the spot that she would strictly abide by them.

Qing Yao and Qi Feng patrolled together and saw many spiritual masters and various immortal friends on the street. Qing Yao felt it was as lively as the human realm, but Qi Feng believed that Chang Yi was trying to win popular support to seize absolute power. Lu Jinyan, invited by Kong Ming, brought the spiritual masters to defect to North Abyss.

He took a liking to the Fu family's residence, but the two Fu brothers refused to give it up. A conflict thus arose between the two sides. Qi Feng came upon hearing the news to mediate, but Lu Jinyan refused to yield. Qi Feng was furious. Qing Yao arrived in time and allowed Lu Jinyan and his group to stay at the Fu family's residence.

She was willing to give up one-third of the residence for the Fu family disciples to station. Only then was the matter settled. The Fu brothers mocked Qi Feng sarcastically, making Qi Feng gnash his teeth in anger. Qing Yao came to report to Chang Yi and saw him meticulously organizing the protest letters written by the Elders. They believed that Chang Yi taking in various immortal friends and spiritual masters was to solidify his own position.

Qing Yao knew that Chang Yi wanted to strengthen North Abyss and advised him to explain clearly to everyone to avoid criticism. Chang Yi did not care about these things at all; he could never let go of Ji Yunhe in his heart. Qing Yao was also helpless. A Ji dreamed that she was lying on the ice in a world of ice and snow, and a handsome man with a large tail held her in his arms.

A Ji was awakened by the dream, unable to guess who that man was. She couldn't calm down to practice cultivation. Lin Haoqing did not allow her to eat delicious food. A Ji complained incessantly and cursed the big-tailed man in her dream. Si Yu encouraged A Ji to use disguise to change her appearance so she could wander in the outside world. A Ji, of course, couldn't ask for anything better. Today was A Ji's birthday.

Lin Haoqing specially found fireworks from the human realm to celebrate for her. It was the first time A Ji saw brilliant fireworks, but she always felt a sense of deja vu. Lin Haoqing prepared longevity noodles for A Ji. A Ji was very happy and told him everything about the dream she had.

Episode 34 Recap

A Ji clearly remembered the man in her dream was very sad, his tears were like the pearls around her neck. Lin Haoqing guessed that the man in her dream was Chang Yi, so he made various excuses to cover it up. A Ji didn't ask further. Lin Haoqing used himself as an analogy, telling A Ji that spring flowers and autumn moons come year after year, and she also shouldn't look back.

Through the unremitting efforts of Lin Haoqing and Si Yu, the medicine to remove frostbite was about to be successfully refined. They only needed to find Jibo Grass, which could withstand great cold, to complete the task. Not long ago, Elder Dong Lian sent back a message saying he had found clues about the Jibo Grass in the human realm. Lin Haoqing was very happy.

He wanted to quickly refine the medicine to remove frostbite for the spiritual masters and then travel the world with A Ji. Si Yu expressed happiness for Lin Haoqing verbally, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Qi Feng saw that Qing Yao was completely obedient to Chang Yi, and he felt resentful. He could only drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Fu Heng's brother came to find Qi Feng, forcing him to vacate their station as soon as possible and even threatening to marry Qing Yao. Qi Feng, in a fit of rage, killed him, placed Lu Jinyan's spiritual master token at the scene, and then framed Lu Jinyan. Fu Heng brought people to question Lu Jinyan about the crime. Lu Jinyan repeatedly explained that he had fallen asleep after getting drunk last night and suspected someone had deliberately framed him.

Fu Heng didn't believe him at all and insisted that he was the murderer. The two sides immediately became confrontational after a disagreement. Chang Yi rushed over upon hearing the news to understand the situation. Qi Feng fanned the flames from the side. Chang Yi learned that Fu Heng had captured Lu Jinyan at the ice lake where Ji Yunhe was sealed. He ordered Lu Jinyan and Fu Heng to be locked up in the Congji Jail.

Qing Yao pleaded for them, but Chang Yi didn't listen at all. Qi Feng was secretly smug and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Jinyan. He saw through Chang Yi's thoughts; as long as it involved Ji Yunhe, he would lose his composure.

Chang Yi became suspicious of Qi Feng and ordered Luo Su to send people to keep a close eye on his every move, and also explicitly stated that no one was allowed to go near the ice lake. A Ji quickly mastered the transformation spell. She easily disguised herself as a man, just waiting for Lin Haoqing to finish refining the medicine so she could go explore the outside world.

Lin Haoqing waited anxiously for Elder Dong Lian to bring back the Jibo Grass, but he was delayed in returning. Suddenly, the alchemy furnace exploded. Lin Haoqing realized the situation was bad. As expected, Elder Dong Lian encountered Zhu Ling's ambush on his way back to Thousand Flower Valley with the Jibo Grass. Elder Dong Lian was alone and weak, was severely injured and taken away.

When Lin Haoqing heard the news, he wanted to go to the Immortal Master Mansion to rescue Elder Dong Lian. He was also worried that Ruzhi and Ning Qing would discover A Ji, so he packed her luggage overnight and asked her to leave for the human realm to travel the next day. Lin Haoqing promised to meet up with A Ji as soon as possible and also sent Si Yu to protect her.

Si Yu wanted to stay and live or die with Lin Haoqing, but Lin Haoqing didn't insist anymore. Early the next morning, Lin Haoqing saw A Ji out of the valley, giving her countless instructions and warnings. A Ji happily set off. Luo Jinsang left North Abyss and came to the human realm. She unexpectedly saw Qu Xiaoxing enter an inn, so she quickly followed him. She saw Qu Xiaoxing talking with some spiritual masters.

Qu Xiaoxing thought she was looking for Kong Ming and told her to go upstairs to find him. Kong Ming was upstairs treating someone. Luo Jinsang kept claiming she came to the human realm to find a good match, which drew ridicule from the spiritual masters. Luo Jinsang was very angry and wanted to cultivate spiritually with Qu Xiaoxing to become beautiful, promising to take responsibility for him afterward. Qu Xiaoxing struggled desperately; he didn't want to kiss Luo Jinsang.

Kong Ming quickly rushed over to stop her, forcibly took Luo Jinsang away, and forbade her from being intimate with others. Luo Jinsang didn't listen at all. Kong Ming couldn't help but kiss Luo Jinsang. Luo Jinsang was extremely excited and hugged Kong Ming tightly. Kong Ming picked up Luo Jinsang and took her to the bed for intimacy. When Luo Jinsang woke up, she found that the spots on her face were gone. She was ecstatic.

Kong Ming didn't care about her appearance at all and took the opportunity to express his feelings to her. Luo Jinsang also admitted that she couldn't leave Kong Ming. A Ji came to the human realm and was quickly deeply attracted by its prosperity and liveliness. She traveled, enjoyed the scenery, and tasted all the delicacies in the world. A Ji found an inn and stayed there.

Suddenly, she heard fighting outside, so she quickly came out to see what was happening. Ji Ning, a disciple of the Immortal Master Mansion, was surrounded and attacked by spiritual masters. Ji Ning repeatedly explained that he was forced to seek refuge with the Immortal Master Mansion. A Ji couldn't stand it and stepped forward to defend Ji Ning. Luo Jinsang rushed over upon hearing the news and told the spiritual masters to take Ji Ning back to North Abyss.

A Ji remembered Lin Haoqing mentioning North Abyss and concluded that Luo Jinsang was a bad person. In a fit of anger, she tied up Luo Jinsang. A Ji gave Luo Jinsang a good scolding and then planned to release her. Unexpectedly, Kong Ming suddenly arrived, knocked A Ji and Ji Ning to the ground, and rescued Luo Jinsang.

Kong Ming sent Qu Xiaoxing to escort A Ji and Ji Ning back to North Abyss and told Luo Jinsang to go back with them. Chang Yi sat alone on the ice lake, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Qing Ji arrived shortly after, drank and talked with Chang Yi, advising him not to numb himself with alcohol anymore. Chang Yi only wanted to see Ji Yunhe in his dreams.

A Ji and Ji Ning were locked up in the Congji Jail. Fu Heng and Lu Jinyan were also imprisoned there. A Ji learned from them that this was a death row prison and that they could only be released with the permission of the North Abyss Honored One, Chang Yi. She also heard the name Ji Yunhe but didn't pay attention to it. Her only thought was to escape.

A Ji racked her brain for many ideas, but none worked. Then, a brilliant plan struck her. A Ji told Fu Heng to pretend to escape to trick the guards into coming in. While the guards were off guard, they knocked them unconscious. The four of them escaped from the Congji Jail. Lu Jinyan praised A Ji highly and suggested she take over as the North Abyss Honored One from Chang Yi. A Ji was not interested in this. Fu Heng and Lu Jinyan said goodbye to her and left.

Episode 35 Recap

A Ji and Ji Ning were lost in the snow-covered dense forest, not knowing which direction to escape. The pearl around A Ji's neck was suddenly imbued with spiritual energy, pointing a way for them. A Ji and Ji Ning groped their way forward. The further they walked, the more desolate it became, making A Ji feel uneasy. She let Ji Ning wait there while she went ahead to scout the way.

A Ji continued walking in the direction the pearl pointed. Ahead was a very large ice lake. Leaning on a reef was a person who was dead drunk. A Ji felt that this place seemed familiar. She leaned in to look closely and recognized Chang Yi, who had appeared in her dream, noting that his attire was very exquisite. A Ji unconsciously called out Chang Yi's name. Chang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, startling A Ji.

Ji Ning loudly reminded A Ji to run quickly, shouting that the person was the North Abyss Honored One, Chang Yi. A Ji had just turned around to run when she was fixed in place by Chang Yi using his power. A Ji was so frightened she repeatedly begged for mercy. Chang Yi questioned why she had trespassed into the ice lake. In her desperation, A Ji shouted, "Big-tailed fish!" Chang Yi was stunned for a moment.

Luo Su hurriedly brought people to report to Chang Yi. Spiritual master Lu Jinyan and the little fox demon and others had escaped from prison. They had already captured Lu Jinyan and Fu Chao. Chang Yi ordered A Ji and Ji Ning to be taken back. A Ji concluded that Lin Haoqing and Chang Yi were enemies, which is why he didn't let her come to North Abyss. She decided to hide her identity to avoid implicating Lin Haoqing.

Qi Feng had originally intended to find an opportunity to kill Lu Jinyan. Unexpectedly, he escaped from prison and was captured again. Now his crime was compounded, and Qi Feng concluded that Lu Jinyan would certainly die. He immediately rushed to Lingshuang Platform to watch the excitement. Lu Jinyan, Fu Chao, A Ji, and Ji Ning were brought back. Lu Jinyan voluntarily took on all the blame.

Qi Feng fanned the flames from the side, strongly demanding that all four of them be killed. A Ji remembered the promise Chang Yi made when leading the North Abyss Celestials to resist foreign enemies, to live and die together with the three thousand spiritual masters, believing Chang Yi would not indiscriminately kill the innocent. Chang Yi was very surprised and relentlessly questioned her name and origin, and where she heard those words.

Qi Feng wanted to lay hands on A Ji to kill her but was stopped by Chang Yi on the spot. Chang Yi exempted A Ji and the others from the death penalty and punished them by sending them to Yuanyi Camp for hard labor. A Ji concluded that her name saved their lives. Chang Yi personally came to Yuanyi Camp to confirm A Ji's identity. Lu Jinyan, Ji Ning, and Fu Chao were so frightened they quickly hid.

Chang Yi curiously inquired about A Ji's origin. A Ji desperately tried to conceal it. Chang Yi angrily threatened to lock her back in the Wuwang Cave. A Ji mocked Chang Yi for being narrow-minded. Chang Yi clearly remembered Ji Yunhe saying the exact same words and relentlessly pressed A Ji. A Ji became even more certain that Lin Haoqing and Chang Yi were enemies and made up excuses to cover it up.

Chang Yi believed A Ji's identity was suspicious and told Luo Su to keep a close eye on her every move. Lin Haoqing knelt outside the great hall, begging Ruling to release Elder Dong Lian and the spiritual masters. Ruling avoided seeing him. Zhu Ling humiliated Lin Haoqing in every possible way. Lin Haoqing continued kneeling without rising, so Ruling had no choice but to let him in. Lin Haoqing expressed his loyalty to her.

Ruling wanted to take the opportunity to absorb Lin Haoqing's spiritual power, but his spiritual power clashed with hers. Ruling became furious and angrily threatened to kill Lin Haoqing and Dong Lian and the others. Lin Haoqing knelt and pleaded, willing to serve as a slave and be loyal to Ruling. Ruling didn't believe him at all, believing he was there to get back the Jibo Grass to make the elixir to remove frostbite.

Lin Haoqing was willing to hand over that Jibo Grass. Si Yu strongly protested. Lin Haoqing slapped her hard. Ruling was very happy and released Dong Lian and the spiritual masters on the spot. It turned out this was a plan Lin Haoqing and Si Yu had designed beforehand. They had prepared a fake Jibo Grass. While Lin Haoqing was hitting Si Yu, he swapped the two Jibo Grasses.

Lin Haoqing told Dong Lian to take the spiritual masters back to Thousand Flower Valley first; he would stay behind to continue dealing with Ruling. Xue Sanyue and Li Shu got up early to continue searching for that mountain. Ji Chengyu, ordered by Ning Qing, brought disciples from the Immortal Master Mansion and surrounded the two of them. Li Shu was injured by a lightning talisman. He didn't dare to stay and fight; he pulled Xue Sanyue and fled.

Ning Qing gave Ji Chengyu three golden talismans, but Ji Chengyu only used two. Li Shu and Xue Sanyue safely escaped. They coincidentally met the lynx couple Li Shu had once rescued, and they took in Li Shu and Xue Sanyue. Ji Chengyu went back to report to Ning Qing. Ning Qing saw through his deliberate act of letting Li Shu and Xue Sanyue go and severely reprimanded him. A Ji wholeheartedly wanted to escape from North Abyss.

She came to negotiate with Chang Yi, boasting that she could find the real killer of Fu Heng. She also produced a secret technique that could awaken the dead Fu Heng to testify. Chang Yi agreed to let the four of them move freely in North Abyss. He sent Luo Su with people to awaken Fu Heng and instructed him repeatedly not to let Qi Feng know about this. Qi Feng's subordinate hid nearby and heard everything clearly.

Luo Su brought people to a secluded place. They ceremoniously awakened Fu Heng in the coffin. Qi Feng arrived hurriedly with people and discovered it was Lu Jinyan in the coffin, only then realizing he had fallen into a trap. Chang Yi arrived shortly after. Only then did Qi Feng realize the so-called secret technique was completely groundless talk, and that Chang Yi had set a trap for him to confess without being forced.

Episode 36 Recap

It turned out that the secret technique A Ji gave to Chang Yi was simply the phrase "fake bait, real fish". Chang Yi designed a trap to catch Qi Feng on the spot and publicly exposed Qi Feng's crime of killing Fu Heng and framing Lu Jinyan. Qi Feng confessed to this without denial, claiming he had already agreed with the Elders in his clan to overthrow Chang Yi.

Chang Yi had long sent people to subdue the Elders, and they all confessed. Qi Feng then threatened Chang Yi using A Ji. A Ji and Ji Ning wanted to escape but were pursued by Qi Feng's subordinates and also inhaled the mist from the Moon-Gazing Sand. A Ji didn't want to surrender, so she and Ji Ning split up to escape. A Ji jumped onto a large tree and barely escaped.

Qi Feng saw that Chang Yi spared A Ji because her name was similar to Ji Yunhe. Qi Feng hit upon Chang Yi's hidden feelings with one remark. Chang Yi was enraged and tied Qi Feng to the reef. Chang Yi learned that A Ji was being pursued and immediately rushed to rescue her. A Ji lost her spiritual power and revealed her female form.

Chang Yi discovered she looked exactly like Ji Yunhe and picked her up without a word and left. A Ji woke up groggily. All she wanted was to escape. Chang Yi was certain she was Ji Yunhe, who had deliberately used transformation technique to appear as a male. Chang Yi begged her to stay and even called her Ji Yunhe.

A Ji was bewildered but couldn't resist Chang Yi's earnest pleading, so she reluctantly agreed to stay temporarily, thinking she would heal her injuries first. Qi Feng was brought back to Lingshuang Platform. Qing Yao immediately crippled all his spiritual power and banished him from North Abyss, forbidding him from stepping foot in North Abyss ever again. Qi Feng gnashed his teeth in anger. Chang Yi couldn't understand.

He had personally watched Ji Yunhe vanish into thin air in his arms, yet now she was alive and well before him. Kong Ming returned from his search, having found that the lineage of Ji Yunhe as a spiritual master had died out, but the lineage of the Nine-Tailed Fox remained. Lin Haoqing had reshaped that lineage into a human form, which was why the current A Ji couldn't remember anything from before.

Kong Ming promised to scour the Four Seas and Eight Desolations to find a way to help A Ji regain her memories. Chang Yi didn't want A Ji to be burdened by the past again and wanted her to live happily, so he asked Kong Ming to help conceal this matter. Chang Yi reflected painfully and decided to completely let go of the past Ji Yunhe.

He came to the small wooden cabin on the island in the lake, placed the conch shell Ji Yunhe gave him on the table, and left. Luo Su was puzzled by Chang Yi's actions and couldn't help but mention it to Qu Xiaoxing and Luo Jinsang. Luo Jinsang believed Chang Yi was infatuated with A Ji and went to Kong Ming's room to find poison. Unexpectedly, Kong Ming had already returned. Luo Jinsang asked him to help subdue A Ji.

Kong Ming couldn't help but kiss Luo Jinsang. The two were reunited after a long separation, and their excitement was evident. Qu Xiaoxing felt A Ji strongly resembled Ji Yunhe and remembered what Lin Haoqing said before he left, suspecting A Ji was related to Lin Haoqing, but he lacked solid evidence. Xue Sanyue meticulously cared for Li Shu, and Li Shu's injuries gradually improved. Ru Jun arrived with Master Leize and Master Feilian from the sky to find them.

Ru Jun had inquired and learned that the nameless mountain was called Boundless Mountain, which was the battlefield where Heavenly King led the Heavenly soldiers in a great battle against the rebellious army of Zhu Yan. After the war, Boundless Mountain fell into the rift between the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm, and the Yin and Yang energies would intersect once every five hundred years. Master Feilian calculated that Boundless Mountain would open in the next few days.

Li Shu wanted to investigate the truth as soon as possible and then marry Xue Sanyue. Ru Jun and the group of five arrived at the junction between heaven and earth. Suddenly, someone called out Li Shu's name. Li Shu deduced that Boundless Mountain was in mid-air. He and Xue Sanyue held hands and walked up. Indeed, a mountain appeared before their eyes. Ru Jun and the others followed closely. Ning Qing arrived shortly after.

He saw that Ru Jun and the group of five had all entered the mountain and used his power to seal the mountain. Ru Jun surveyed Boundless Mountain everywhere. Master Si Fang suddenly appeared. He was ordered by the Previous Emperor to guard this place and wait for Ru Jun to help Ru Jun completely eliminate Zhu Yan. Master Si Fang showed Ru Jun a scene from that year.

Zhu Yan was crippled of his physical body and spiritual power by the Previous Emperor, but a wisp of his residual soul remained. Zhu Yan was still ambitious and constantly sought a target to help him reshape his human form. Ning Xiyu and Ning Qing mistakenly entered Boundless Mountain, and Zhu Yan chose Ning Qing. After Ning Xiyu died, Ning Qing returned to Boundless Mountain, vowing to make everyone pay for Ning Xiyu's death.

Zhu Yan agreed to help him gather spiritual power, and the two hit it off. Zhu Yan then followed Ning Qing out of Boundless Mountain and returned to the Human Realm. Master Si Fang told Ru Jun the truth and then vanished into thin air. Before leaving, he gave Ru Jun a Luminous Heart Lantern to open the Demon Suppression Array, so Ru Jun could completely seal Zhu Yan with the array.

Ning Qing sealed Boundless Mountain, preventing Ru Jun and the others from leaving. Ru Jun wanted to use the Luminous Heart Lantern to escape, but the Luminous Heart Lantern had been damaged in that great battle and could only function after being repaired and relit. Ru Jun decided to first find the person who made the lantern. Zhu Yan's residual soul forced Ning Qing to kill Ru Jun and the others.

Ning Qing was confident they could not repair the heart lantern and wanted to quickly find the medicinal ingredients to restore Ru Ling's face. Zhu Ling sent fewer and fewer spiritual masters to Ru Ling, which greatly displeased Ru Ling. She petulantly threatened to absorb his spiritual power. Ning Qing was going to search for medicinal ingredients. He came to say goodbye to Ru Ling and left Ji Chengyu behind to handle the daily affairs of the Immortal Master Mansion.

Zhu Ling suggested unleashing the thunder-fire that had been dormant underground in North Abyss for many years, which could completely destroy North Abyss and capture all the spiritual masters for Ru Ling. Ji Chengyu was worried about Kong Ming's safety and asked Ning Qing to stop Ru Ling. Ning Qing felt Kong Ming deserved to die and forbade Ji Chengyu from interfering. After Chang Yi's meticulous care, A Ji's injuries quickly healed.

Just as she was thinking of escaping, Chang Yi took her to the ice lake. A Ji loved it there and ran and laughed happily on the ice lake. Chang Yi seemed to see the Ji Yunhe of the past, and his eyes became very gentle. A Ji was puzzled and voluntarily requested to return to Yuanyi Camp to do hard labor. Chang Yi allowed her to move freely.

Episode 37 Recap

A Ji was overwhelmed by the favor. She had only suggested an idea to catch the real culprit, but Chang Yi gave her a special pardon and even allowed her free movement in North Abyss. A Ji found the handsome man before her unpredictable and worried he would go back on his word later. She just wanted to have fun in North Abyss for a bit, and then have her master pick her up.

Chang Yi originally wanted to keep A Ji by his side, but unexpectedly, she was determined to leave. Chang Yi's eyes showed reluctance and disappointment. A Ji immediately softened and volunteered to return to Yuanyi Camp. Chang Yi had no choice but to agree. Lin Haoqing used thistle grass as a medicinal guide and quickly developed an antidote to remove the frost. He personally tested the poison, and the frost flower on the back of his neck truly disappeared.

Lin Haoqing was ecstatic. In an instant, the frost flower reappeared, and the frost in Lin Haoqing's body flared up, making him shiver with cold. Just then, Lin Haoqing suddenly received a secret letter from Qu Xiaoxing, learning that A Ji had fallen into Chang Yi's hands. Lin Haoqing sneered. Ji Yunhe was entangled with Chang Yi in her previous life, and now she had reunited with Chang Yi in this life.

Lin Haoqing dared not delay and immediately rushed to North Abyss to find A Ji. Zhu Ling took people everywhere to search for the thunder-fire leyline in North Abyss but found nothing. Instead, he caught the disheveled Qi Feng. Zhu Ling, in a fit of anger, wanted to kill Qi Feng to vent his frustration. Qi Feng was so scared that he repeatedly begged for mercy.

He knew the terrain of North Abyss like the back of his hand and promised to help Zhu Ling find the thunder-fire leyline. Zhu Ling was naturally overjoyed. Chang Yi wanted to keep A Ji by his side but also didn't want to see her suffer like Ji Yunhe did in her previous life. Chang Yi was in a dilemma, unsure of what to do for a moment, so he drowned his sorrows in wine.

Kong Ming saw his worries and advised him to prioritize the bigger picture. Xue Sanyue wrote to him, informing him that Ru Jun and his group were trapped in Boundless Mountain and that Ning Qing and Zhu Yan's residual soul had joined forces to wreak havoc upon the world. Kong Ming concluded that a great battle was imminent and advised Chang Yi to properly settle A Ji.

Lin Haoqing and Si Yu quickly arrived in North Abyss and explained the situation to Qu Xiaoxing. Immediately after, Lin Haoqing knocked out the guards and came to Yuanyi Camp. When A Ji saw Lin Haoqing, she was so excited that she cheered and jumped. Lin Haoqing wanted to take her away as soon as possible. A Ji wanted to play in North Abyss for a few more days.

She noticed that Chang Yi looked at her with a very special gaze, and Chang Yi had appeared in her dreams. A Ji wanted to understand the whole story. Lin Haoqing used the excuse that those were past events and advised A Ji not to dwell on them. Si Yu urged A Ji to leave with Lin Haoqing quickly, lest Chang Yi catch up. Luo Su quickly discovered the whereabouts of Lin Haoqing and Si Yu.

He reported it to Chang Yi immediately. Chang Yi immediately rushed to stop them. Qi Feng took Zhu Ling to find the thunder-fire leyline. Zhu Ling activated the thunder-fire with his power, and the fiery red magma erupted. Qi Feng anticipated the moment the thunder-fire would destroy Chang Yi. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ling pushed him into the lava, and he vanished into thin air in an instant.

Chang Yi went to chase Lin Haoqing and A Ji but found that they were impersonated by Qu Xiaoxing and Si Yu. Chang Yi knew he had fallen into a trap to lure him away. Just as he was about to continue the chase, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet rapidly heating up. Kong Ming followed shortly after.

He guessed that the thunder-fire leyline had been reignited, and the next step would be to turn everything to ash, and North Abyss would be destroyed. Just then, a loud noise came from the distant mountain. Chang Yi told Kong Ming to inform Qing Yao and the others to evacuate as quickly as possible. He would suppress the leyline flame cavern alone. Kong Ming's earnest persuasion was futile.

Chang Yi asked Qu Xiaoxing to inform Lin Haoqing to take A Ji away as soon as possible. Lin Haoqing left with A Ji. A Ji felt a faint sense of reluctance and a little heartache in her heart. Si Yu rushed to meet up with them. A Ji learned that the thunder-fire would cause a magma eruption, and Chang Yi was ready to die in exchange for North Abyss's peace.

A Ji wanted to go back and save Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing told A Ji about her past with Chang Yi, hoping she wouldn't turn back, but A Ji was unwilling to go against her true feelings and only wanted to save Chang Yi, Ji Ning, Lu Jinyan, Fu Chao, and others. A Ji couldn't just stand by and watch them die. She insisted on going. Zhu Ling suddenly led people to chase them and ordered to capture Lin Haoqing.

Lin Haoqing covered A Ji's escape, and he and Si Yu teamed up to fight Zhu Ling. As a result, both sides were injured. Chang Yi came to the flame cavern alone and used all his power to suppress the magma, but it was all in vain. He struggled to hold on. Qing Yao came to persuade Chang Yi, but Chang Yi didn't listen at all. She didn't dare to get close and could only watch from afar.

A Ji arrived shortly after. She rushed up desperately to reinforce Chang Yi. The two of them still couldn't stop the gushing magma. Chang Yi advised A Ji to leave. A Ji didn't listen at all. The magma melted the pearls in front of A Ji, and the fragments suddenly made her remember everything from the past. She remembered that her name was Ji Yunhe. She revealed her nine tails and used all her spiritual power to assist Chang Yi.

The two worked together and finally controlled the magma. Ji Yunhe confessed that A Ji, who had forgotten the past, ultimately couldn't bear to leave Chang Yi. Afterward, Ji Yunhe was burned by the heat of the magma and fainted. Chang Yi quickly picked her up and set up a barrier around them to block the falling rocks. The ground fire was extinguished, and the Celestials and spiritual masters of North Abyss cheered happily.

Zhu Ling knew the tide had turned. He struggled to get up and tried to escape. Si Yu flew a sword through his body. Lin Haoqing's frost flared up again, and his body began to freeze bit by bit. Si Yu advised him to leave quickly, but he was worried about A Ji and asked Si Yu to help him go save A Ji.

Luo Jinsang, Kong Ming, Qu Xiaoxing, Luo Su, and others came to the flame cavern and were relieved to see that Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe were both safe and sound. When Lin Haoqing arrived at the flame cavern, he saw Chang Yi holding Ji Yunhe and leaving from a distance. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. When Ru Ling learned that the ground fire was extinguished and Zhu Ling was still missing, she was furious.

In a fit of rage, she absorbed the spiritual power of the attendant beside her. Ning Qing arrived upon hearing the news to comfort her and promised to find more spiritual masters for her. Ning Qing found the medicinal ingredients to treat her face injury and told Ru Ling to drink the medicine. Ru Ling seized the opportunity when he was off guard and used her power to absorb Ning Qing's spiritual power. Instead, she was subdued by Ning Qing.

Ning Qing forced her to drink the herbal soup. Ru Ling knew he only cared about her face and petulantly threatened to disfigure herself. Ning Qing stopped her, forcibly poured the herbal soup into her, and then strode away. Ji Chengyu heard everything clearly outside the door. He advised Ru Ling to stop as soon as possible and not continue to sink deeper, but Ru Ling didn't listen at all.

She had long been consumed by hatred and regarded everyone as her enemy. Chang Yi used his remaining spiritual power to heal Ji Yunhe. Kong Ming arrived in time to stop him. Kong Ming helped Ji Yunhe stabilize her injuries. Chang Yi wanted to take Ji Yunhe into seclusion for a few days of cultivation and asked Kong Ming to take charge of the overall situation for him.

Qing Yao sent Chang Yi medicine to remove the heat toxin and told Chang Yi to focus on treating Ji Yunhe's injuries. Chang Yi noticed that Qing Yao had changed. Lin Haoqing knew Ji Yunhe wouldn't leave with him, but he still came to find Chang Yi, steeling himself. Chang Yi didn't want to be separated from Ji Yunhe again and showed Xue Sanyue's letter to Lin Haoqing.

Only then did Lin Haoqing know that Zhu Yan's main body was a ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, and the frost on the spiritual masters came from there. Only by eliminating Zhu Yan's main body could the frost be completely removed.

Episode 38 Recap

The frost inside Lin Haoqing's body flared up again. He endured the pain. Chang Yi planned to team up with Ru Jun to eliminate Zhu Yan's residual soul after Ji Yunhe woke up. Zhu Yan was once an ancient fierce beast, unusually savage. Lin Haoqing reminded Chang Yi to be extra careful. Afterwards, Chang Yi took Lin Haoqing to see Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe was still in a coma.

Lin Haoqing took out the Osmanthus cake Ji Yunhe loved most from his bosom. He had protected it carefully the whole way, but the Osmanthus cake was still crushed, and Lin Haoqing's heart was also shattered. He originally wanted to stay with Ji Yunhe for the rest of this life, but Ji Yunhe chose Chang Yi. Lin Haoqing decided to let go and sincerely wished her a smooth journey ahead.

Before leaving, Lin Haoqing instructed Chang Yi to take good care of Ji Yunhe. Ignoring Si Yu's dissuasion, he insisted on going to Lutai Mountain Immortal Master Mansion to fight Zhu Yan's residual soul and Ning Qing to the death, not wanting Ji Yunhe to fall into danger again. Qing Ji heard Lin Haoqing and Si Yu's conversation and hurried out to ask about the truth of that year.

Qing Ji proposed teaming up with Lin Haoqing to break into the Immortal Master Mansion. She wanted to fight Ning Qing, the enemy who killed Ning Ruochu, to the death, and let Lin Haoqing deal with Zhu Yan's residual soul. Chang Yi brought Ji Yunhe to the cottage on the lake island for secluded cultivation. Luo Jinsang and Kong Ming guarded outside the door, constantly paying attention to their progress.

Chang Yi used all his spiritual power to heal Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe saw Ning Xiyu in her dream again. Ning Xiyu wished her and Chang Yi a perfect ending for this reunion. Ji Yunhe woke up groggily. Chang Yi was overjoyed and wanted to find Kong Ming to check her pulse. Ji Yunhe quickly pulled him back. When Luo Jinsang heard that Ji Yunhe had woken up, she couldn't express how happy she was.

She complained that Kong Ming shouldn't have hidden the news of Ji Yunhe's revival. Kong Ming repeatedly apologized to her. Luo Jinsang no longer pursued the matter, and the two left chatting and laughing. Ji Yunhe wanted to see the beautiful scenery of North Abyss. Chang Yi took her to the peak of a great mountain. Ji Yunhe was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before her eyes. Chang Yi promised her freedom.

Ji Yunhe realized after experiencing life and death that wandering the world wasn't freedom; only staying by Chang Yi's side was the happiest. Chang Yi was deeply moved and couldn't help but tightly embrace Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe explained the previous misunderstanding; she had never betrayed Chang Yi. Chang Yi already knew this, knowing that Ji Yunhe had not betrayed or abandoned him, and that everything from beginning to end was to save him.

It was just that Chang Yi was holding a grudge against himself, which caused the two of them to miss out on many beautiful times. Chang Yi promised that once the affairs of North Abyss were properly settled, he would travel the world with Ji Yunhe. Ji Ning was worried about Ji Yunhe, so she came to Kong Ming to inquire and told him about Ji Chengyu's involuntary predicament, asking Kong Ming to help Ji Chengyu.

Kong Ming felt that Ji Chengyu lacked the courage to save himself. Qing Ji came to settle scores with Ning Qing, demanding he pay with his life for Ning Ruochu. Ning Qing insisted that Qing Ji and Ning Ruochu implicated Ning Xiyu, leading to her death. The reason he kept Qing Ji alive was to make her experience the pain of losing her loved one, making her life worse than death.

Ning Qing vowed to make everyone pay for Ning Xiyu. The two immediately started fighting after a disagreement. Lin Haoqing brought Si Yu to a secret chamber in the Immortal Master Mansion. He struck decisively at Zhu Yan's residual soul hidden behind that painting. Lin Haoqing was seriously injured; he hadn't expected that thread of Zhu Yan's residual soul was prepared beforehand and had already hidden. Ji Chengyu arrived upon hearing the news.

He hid it from the Immortal Master Mansion disciples and let Lin Haoqing and Si Yu go. Qing Ji and Ning Qing refused to yield to each other, and they fought inextricably. Ning Qing took advantage of her unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack from behind, severely wounding Qing Ji. Qing Ji was locked up in Congji Jail. When Ning Qing returned to the Immortal Master Mansion, he saw that the painting was destroyed and was furious, gritting his teeth.

Ji Chengyu took the initiative to confess to him, advising Ning Qing to recognize his mistakes and not continue making mistakes. Ning Qing, in a fit of rage, absorbed all of his spiritual power. Zhu Yan's residual soul came to reason with Ning Qing. Ning Qing agreed to let him go out for revenge. Ji Yunhe saw Ning Xiyu in her dream and learned that something had happened to Qing Ji.

Ning Xiyu lent her eyes to Ji Yunhe, allowing her to see Qing Ji's current situation. Qing Ji was imprisoned in Congji Jail, completely disheartened. Ning Ruochu suddenly drifted in, encouraging Qing Ji not to give up easily. Zhu Yan's residual soul subsequently came to Congji Jail and bitterly persuaded Qing Ji to cooperate with him, wanting to obtain Qing Ji's physical body and even promising to kill Ning Qing.

Qing Ji pretended to agree, and Zhu Yan's residual soul merged with her. Ji Yunhe saw Qing Ji's situation and wanted to stop her but was powerless. Ning Xiyu summoned Ji Yunhe's divine consciousness to see Qing Ji. Qing Ji and Zhu Yan's residual soul merged into one. She fought with all her might to kill Zhu Yan's residual soul, resulting in a mutual destruction. Ning Xiyu arrived with Ji Yunhe's divine consciousness.

Qing Ji, having exhausted her spiritual power, vanished like smoke. Before she died, she told Ji Yunhe where Zhu Yan was hiding. Qing Ji had loved, hated, resented, and missed throughout her life, but now she had no regrets. This way, Qing Ji and Ning Ruochu could be considered reunited as they wished. Ji Yunhe was woken by Chang Yi. She recounted everything about Qing Ji and Zhu Yan's residual soul in detail.

Ji Yunhe discovered that Zhu Yan's residual soul was hidden inside Ning Qing's ring. She wanted to eliminate Ning Qing while Zhu Yan's residual soul was weak. Ji Yunhe found that Ning Qing's weakness was his heart and decided to use the Heart Enslavement Technique against him. Ji Yunhe came to the Immortal Master Mansion early in the morning to find Ning Qing. She spoke Ning Xiyu's name directly in front of him. Ning Qing was surprised. Ji Yunhe admitted that she and Ning Xiyu had met in her dream.

Episode 39 Recap

Ning Qing thought Ji Yunhe was talking nonsense. He had thought about Ning Xiyu for so many years, but she had never appeared in his dreams, let alone met Ji Yunhe in a dream. But Ji Yunhe was assertive, accurately describing Ning Xiyu's clothes and behavior. Ning Xiyu firmly forbids Ning Qing from making the world pay. She only wants to take Ning Qing away. Ning Qing still doesn't believe her.

Ji Yunhe casually recites the two lines of poetry, "Standing alone between heaven and earth, the clear wind sprinkles orchid snow," and points out that Ning Qing's name comes from this. Ning Qing is instantly dumbfounded. Ning Xiyu named him based on these two lines back then. Ji Yunhe learned from Ning Xiyu that Ning Qing hid Zhu Yan's residual soul in his ring. She and Ning Xiyu devised a plan.

Ji Yunhe would use the Heart Enslavement Technique to bring Ning Qing's divine consciousness into her dream for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Ning Xiyu would be responsible for persuading Ning Qing to take off the ring. While Ning Qing was in a daze, Ning Xiyu's summons suddenly came from the air. Ning Qing was momentarily distracted, and Ji Yunhe seized the opportunity to knock him out and bring his divine consciousness into her dream.

Chang Yi used all his spiritual power to support Ji Yunhe. Ning Qing saw Ning Xiyu in the dream and swore to make the world pay for her. Ning Xiyu earnestly advised Ning Qing to stop early and not continue to collude with Zhu Yan's residual soul to harm the world. Ning Qing had meticulously planned for thousands of years and did not want to give up now.

Ning Qing claimed he was no longer the little beggar from back then and did not want to be constrained by Ning Xiyu anymore. He believed that Qing Ji and Ning Ruochu's forbidden relationship that violated the rules caused Ning Xiyu's death. Ning Xiyu's earnest persuasion was also useless. Ning Xiyu had to open Ning Qing's memory door to let him verify the truth himself.

Back then, Ning Qing returned to Thousand Flower Valley to see Elder Lin and told him the hiding place of Qing Ji and Ning Ruochu. Elder Lin sent people to hunt down Qing Ji and Ning Ruochu. Ning Xiyu preferred to give up her position as Valley Master to protect them both. Ning Qing personally witnessed Ning Xiyu suffer cruel punishment. He was angry due to guilt.

When he traveled the world with Ning Xiyu, he only wanted to quickly achieve merit to win back the opportunity for Ning Xiyu to return to Thousand Flower Valley. His methods of controlling spirits became more violent, and he cruelly killed the leader of the fierce spirits. The fierce spirits were driven to a dead end and rose in rebellion. Ning Xiyu unfortunately died in that conflict.

Ning Qing didn't believe he was the informant, nor did he want to admit that he was the culprit who caused Ning Xiyu's death. Ning Xiyu pointed out sharply that what he couldn't forgive the most was himself, so he shifted the blame onto others to cover up the guilt and pain in his heart. Ning Qing's pain was struck by Ning Xiyu's words, and he was filled with remorse.

Ru Ling learned that Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe had trapped Ning Qing. She was furious, gritting her teeth, and swore to kill them both. Ru Ling came to save Ning Qing, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through the barrier set by Chang Yi. Ning Qing felt he had committed too many evil deeds and worried he couldn't turn back. Ning Xiyu promised to save him at any cost.

Ning Qing was so moved that he cried bitterly. He decided to lay down his butcher knife. Ning Qing returned from Ji Yunhe's dream, transformed into a different person. He immediately tore up his agreement with Zhu Yan's residual soul. Zhu Yan was furious. Ru Ling removed her mask and promised to fully cooperate with Ning Qing's treatment to restore his face as soon as possible. Ru Ling promised to stay by Ning Qing's side forever.

But Ning Qing's mind was made up. He took off his ring, released Zhu Yan's residual soul, and let Ji Yunhe deal with him. Ning Qing's hair turned white instantly. Zhu Yan's residual soul floated in mid-air, helpless and alone, threatening to make everyone pay. Chang Yi set up a barrier to protect Ji Yunhe. He leaped forward, using his heart's blood to forge a sword and engaged in a fierce battle with Zhu Yan's residual soul.

Without a host body, Zhu Yan's residual soul was completely defenseless and was quickly subdued. Ning Qing thanked Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe for helping him atone for his sins, bowed deeply, and bid them farewell. Ru Ling desperately gathered all of Zhu Yan's residual soul to use it for herself. Then she rushed forward to kill Ji Yunhe. Ning Qing bravely blocked in front of Ji Yunhe and was severely wounded by Ru Ling.

Ning Qing desperately stopped Ru Ling, covering Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi's escape. Ru Ling was enraged and attacked Ning Qing mercilessly, absorbing all his spiritual power. Ru Ling had endured hardship and accompanied Ning Qing for hundreds of years, but after he saw Ning Xiyu in Ji Yunhe's dream, he completely changed. Ru Ling left a harsh remark, saying that from now on, Ning Qing would obey her completely. Ning Xiyu suddenly drifted in.

Ru Ling wanted to attack her but was powerless. Ning Qing used the first technique he learned from Ning Xiyu to commit suicide on the spot, drifting away to follow Ning Xiyu. Ru Ling screamed in fury. She swore to make this world restless forever. Li Shu, Xue Sanyue, Ru Jun, Master Feilian, and Master Leize five people worked together to repair the glazed heart lamp fragments. The bell on Li Shu's chest became restless.

He came dizzyingly into his dream realm and met his grandfather, who once fought alongside the former emperor. His grandfather's physical body had perished, leaving a trace of divine consciousness within the glazed heart lamp. Li Shu remembered hearing his grandfather's summons at the mountain gate, which gave him the courage to enter Mount Wuliang. The grandfather described in detail the origin of the heart lamp. The heart lamp was the immeasurable fire born from the Nine Heavens Thunder Sea.

Only the strongest descendant of Lu Wu could pass through the thunder sea with several rebirths to obtain the heavenly fire. Back then, he perished to light the heart lamp. Now, he handed this mission to Li Shu. Li Shu strongly protested. He hadn't married Xue Sanyue yet and didn't want to die. The grandfather clearly stated that this was a mission that descendants of Lu Wu must complete and hoped Li Shu would prioritize the bigger picture.

Li Shu woke up from his dream. The frost flowers on the back of Xue Sanyue's neck suddenly disappeared. Master Feilian sensed that Ning Qing had perished and Zhu Yan's residual soul was destroyed, but a new demonic energy had emerged, which must be eliminated by the heart lamp. The barrier set by Ning Qing automatically disappeared, and the frost caused by Zhu Yan also completely vanished.

The frost within Xue Sanyue was removed, but her body was still very weak. Ru Jun told Li Shu to escort Xue Sanyue to recuperate and gather information from the outside world. After the heart lamp was repaired, they would meet up in North Abyss. Ji Yunhe finally woke up. Luo Jinsang was so excited she cried tears of joy. Ji Yunhe learned that Chang Yi was locked in a room by Kong Ming.

She rushed over to find Chang Yi. Chang Yi's body was being corroded by Zhu Ling's cold energy, and his bones and blood were about to be frozen. Kong Ming exhausted all his power trying to help Chang Yi dispel the cold poison in his body, but all his efforts were in vain. Ji Yunhe heard everything clearly outside the door. She pleaded bitterly with Kong Ming to save Chang Yi, but Kong Ming was also powerless.

Ji Yunhe called Chang Yi away and proposed marrying him face to face. Chang Yi knew he didn't have much time left and didn't want to delay Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe only wanted to leave a trace of Chang Yi's existence in her life. Chang Yi was moved by her deep affection and could only grant her wish.

Episode 40 Recap

Qing Yao heard that Ru Ling had absorbed the residual power of Zhu Yan's residual soul and was worried that she would launch an attack on North Abyss again. Qing Yao rushed to Kong Ming for help. Kong Ming was worried about Chang Yi's body and had no time to deal with these matters, shouting loudly at Qing Yao. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi arrived in time to smooth things over.

Chang Yi asked Qing Yao to set up a barrier at the border to prevent Ru Ling from sending people to sneak attack. Ji Yunhe promised to help Qing Yao with the defenses and announced that she and Chang Yi would hold their wedding three days later. Luo Jinsang was happy for them and guaranteed that Ji Yunhe would have a grand wedding. A hint of worry flashed in Kong Ming's heart.

Qing Yao was worried that time was tight and there wouldn't be enough time to prepare. Ji Yunhe didn't care about the form of the wedding at all, only wanting to invite a few good friends to attend. Ru Ling had gathered the power of Zhu Yan's residual soul, greatly increasing her spiritual power. She boasted herself as the strongest in the world. Ru Ling swore to fulfill Ning Qing's last wish and make the world her funeral procession.

Ji Yunhe personally sewed wedding clothes for Chang Yi and invited Qing Yao to their wedding. Qing Yao readily agreed. Chang Yi asked Kong Ming to officiate his and Ji Yunhe's wedding. Kong Ming regretted bringing Chang Yi to North Abyss in the first place, only to watch his life gradually slip away, feeling full of guilt. Chang Yi, in turn, comforted him. Chang Yi came to see Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe sewed clothes while talking intimately with him.

Ji Yunhe wanted to make a pair of earrings from Chang Yi's merman tears but didn't want him to shed sad tears. Chang Yi felt his body being frozen little by little. He cherished every moment spent with Ji Yunhe and couldn't help but embrace Ji Yunhe deeply. The two embraced and slept together. Chang Yi quietly got up to seek help from Kong Ming.

Kong Ming did his best to help him delay the freezing time, but it could only last until midnight tomorrow. Chang Yi wanted to leave beautiful memories for Ji Yunhe in their last moments. Ru Jun, Master Feilian, and Master Leize worked together to repair the glazed heart lamp, but the last piece of the fragment could not be gathered. Ru Jun was extremely anxious, fearing that Ru Ling would launch an attack. Master Feilian advised him to remain calm.

Da Huan and Xiao Huan came to report to Li Shu that Ji Yunhe had resurrected and returned to Chang Yi's side, and Ru Ling had obtained the residual power of Zhu Yan's residual soul and was about to initiate a great war. Xue Sanyue was ecstatic about Ji Yunhe's return, but Li Shu was preoccupied. He remembered his grandfather's entrustment and wanted to risk his life to light the heart lamp but was reluctant to leave Xue Sanyue.

Li Shu was caught in a dilemma. After Zhu Yan's residual soul died, the frost within Lin Haoqing's body disappeared. However, he had exhausted all his spiritual power burning that portrait and remained unconscious for several days before waking up. Si Yu found out that Ru Ling controlled the Immortal Master Mansion, and recently black energy lingered above the Immortal Master Mansion. Si Yu inferred that Ru Ling was about to take action and reported it to Lin Haoqing immediately.

Si Yu also told Lin Haoqing the news that Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe were getting married tonight. Lin Haoqing sincerely wished Ji Yunhe happiness. With the wedding approaching, Qing Yao took Ji Yunhe to see Guhuo Bird. Guhuo Bird personally helped Ji Yunhe with her makeup and dressing, but from her eyes, there was no expectation of a bright future life.

Ji Yunhe didn't ask for a lifetime of being together, as long as they truly loved each other, she would have no regrets. Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi walked hand in hand to Ling Shuang Platform. The cultivators of North Abyss and the spiritual masters had been waiting for a long time. They walked hand in hand into the main hall, accepting everyone's blessings. Kong Ming presided over the wedding and gave a brief speech.

Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi publicly swore that they would be together in life and death and then drank the ceremonial wine. Immortal friends released sky lanterns outside to add to the festivities. Ji Yunhe took Chang Yi's hand and came out to admire the lanterns. Lanterns flew into the sky one by one. Chang Yi was filled with gratitude. Lin Haoqing personally weaved a flower crown and wished Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi happiness from afar.

After the wedding, Kong Ming remained gloomy. Luo Jinsang pressed him for the reason. Xue Sanyue and Li Shu rushed over, wanting to drag Kong Ming and Luo Jinsang to participate in the wedding night revelry. Kong Ming had no choice but to tell them that Chang Yi could only live until midnight. Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe lay hand in hand on the wedding bed. They had endless sweet nothings to say.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Chang Yi urged Ji Yunhe to sleep quickly, not wanting her to witness him being frozen. Chang Yi asked Ji Yunhe to turn her face away and close her eyes. He sang the "Merman's Song." Ji Yunhe knew that the moment of life and death separation between her and Chang Yi was approaching, and tears of sadness streamed down her face.

Ji Yunhe lied that she was tired and asked Chang Yi to stop singing. Chang Yi's body was frozen little by little. He used his last breath to express his feelings to Ji Yunhe. Although Ru Ling had done many wrong things, thanks to Ru Ling bringing him ashore and sending him to Thousand Flower Valley, he was fortunate enough to meet Ji Yunhe. After saying this, Chang Yi was completely frozen. Ji Yunhe did not dare to look back and was heartbroken beyond measure.

Episode 41 Recap

Kong Ming delivered the terrible news that Chang Yi would be frozen after midnight. Luo Jinsang couldn't bear to see Ji Yunhe sad again and wished she could be frozen instead of Chang Yi. Xue Sanyue was worried Ji Yunhe couldn't handle such a blow and wanted to check on her, but she didn't expect that Kong Ming had already told Ji Yunhe the final outcome. The wedding was a joint decision by Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe.

Kong Ming advised them not to disturb Ji Yunhe. They could only silently guard the door of the bridal chamber. Ru Ling deliberately provoked Lin Haoqing with the news of Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi's wedding. Lin Haoqing was enraged and wanted to attack Ru Ling, but was injured by Ru Ling instead. Ji Yunhe had just reunited with Chang Yi, and now they were separated by life and death. She was heartbroken and in immense pain.

Ji Yunhe wiped away her tears to arrange matters for the border defense. When she went out and saw Luo Jinsang, Xue Sanyue, and others, she forced herself to cheer up and comfort Luo Jinsang and Xue Sanyue. Lin Haoqing was controlled and lost his mind, leading the Elders and spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley to defect to Ru Ling. Ru Ling spoke harshly to him, humiliated him in every way, and forced him to kill Ji Yunhe.

Ru Jun, Master Feilian, and Master Leize dedicated themselves to repairing the heart lamp, but all their efforts were in vain. Ru Jun wanted to secretly use his immortal bone to replace the missing fragment, but was discovered by Master Feilian and Master Leize. They decided to use their own immortal bones to repair the divine lamp and told Ru Jun to stop Ru Ling's reckless behavior.

Ru Jun watched helplessly as they sacrificed themselves for the lamp, feeling an unspeakable pain in his heart. Ji Yunhe came to find Qu Xiaoxing and asked him to set up defenses at the North Abyss border. Xue Sanyue and Li Shu were worried and followed closely to find Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe cried uncontrollably on Xue Sanyue's shoulder. She swore to fulfill Chang Yi's dying wish and protect North Abyss from the devastation of war. Ru Jun rushed over.

He tried to use the heart lamp to unseal Chang Yi, but it was in vain. Seeing the Immortal Master Mansion's army approaching and arriving at North Abyss tomorrow, the glazed heart lamp could only be ignited by celestial fire; otherwise, its power would only be half effective. Ji Yunhe personally went to deploy troops at the border and asked Xue Sanyue to go with her.

Li Shu thought about it repeatedly and decided to take a risk to obtain celestial fire without telling anyone. He first went to see Chang Yi, and then quietly embarked on his journey. Li Shu took out a bell and asked his grandfather for help, wanting to know the location of the Nine Heavens Sea of Thunder. His grandfather implicitly guided him in the right direction.

Li Shu rushed into the sea of thunder without hesitation to retrieve the celestial fire. Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. The heart lamp in Ru Jun's hand began to heat up. Xue Sanyue couldn't find Li Shu anywhere and only then realized the situation was bad. Ji Yunhe asked everyone to search in different directions. Li Shu risked his life to retrieve the celestial fire and was covered in wounds from the lightning strikes.

He struggled to get up and released the celestial fire to ignite the heart lamp. Xue Sanyue saw Li Shu from afar. She ran over quickly, but it was too late. Li Shu instantly turned into ashes. Only a hairpin remained on the snow, engraved with the words "To my beloved wife Sanyue." Xue Sanyue was heartbroken. Li Shu stood at the summit of the clouds and told Xue Sanyue to find a good man to marry.

He also had Da Huan and Xiao Huan prepare a large mansion for her. After saying these words, Li Shu disappeared. Xue Sanyue held the hairpin and cried her heart out. She swore never to marry again in this life and to forever be Li Shu's wife. Ru Jun, Luo Jinsang, and Ji Yunhe were all moved by this.

Xue Sanyue put on the hairpin and begged the Heavenly King to use the glazed heart lamp, ignited by Li Shu's sacrifice, to protect North Abyss and kill Ru Ling. Ru Jun readily agreed. Ru Ling was approaching, and a great battle was imminent. Ji Yunhe decided to lead the troops to meet the enemy. Qing Yao stayed at Ling Shuang Platform. Ru Jun had given Ru Ling many chances, but she showed no repentance.

Ru Jun decided to righteously eliminate Ru Ling, his relative. Ji Yunhe promised to do her best to help him. Kong Ming was about to depart for the front line. Luo Jinsang came to see him off, and the two reluctantly parted ways. Ji Yunhe, Kong Ming, Xue Sanyue, Qu Xiaoxing, and others led the North Abyss immortals, ready to go. They swore to defend North Abyss to the death.

With a command from Ru Ling, she ordered the Elders and spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley to charge forward. Both sides engaged in fierce combat. Ji Yunhe came to challenge Ru Ling. Ru Ling swore to completely eradicate everyone in North Abyss. She brutally attacked Ji Yunhe, tightly gripping Ji Yunhe's neck, and threatened to turn Ji Yunhe into a human pig. Chang Yi arrived in time to save Ji Yunhe, knocking Ru Ling to the ground.

Ru Ling was greatly surprised. It turned out that Ru Jun had awakened Chang Yi using a Bodhi fruit. Ji Yunhe wanted to keep this a secret for now, to make Ru Ling lower her guard, and only have Chang Yi appear at the last moment.

Episode 42 (Ending) Recap

Ru Jun used a Bodhi fruit to help Chang Yi clear his meridians and regrow his severed tail. His spiritual power was restored to its original state. Ru Ling was unwilling to admit defeat. She took out her last trump card, a golden bell made from the remnant soul of Zhu Yan. Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe joined forces against Ru Ling. The three of them fought fiercely, the battle inseparable.

The sound of the golden bell echoed through the sky. Disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion, Elders and spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley heard the call of the bell. They seemed divinely aided, relentlessly pressuring the immortals of North Abyss. Kong Ming loudly warned the North Abyss immortals not to fight unwinnable battles. Ji Chengyu wildly swung his sword and stabbed at Kong Ming. Luo Jinsang bravely shielded Kong Ming, and was pierced through by Ji Chengyu.

Luo Jinsang used her last breath to bid farewell to Kong Ming. Kong Ming tried to use elixirs to help Luo Jinsang recover her spiritual power, but it was in vain. Luo Jinsang passed away in his arms. Kong Ming was heartbroken and wept uncontrollably. Someone seized the opportunity to try and sneak attack Kong Ming. Ji Chengyu, to save Kong Ming, was stabbed through the back by someone.

Ji Chengyu took out that small tiger doll, and then turned into ashes and vanished. Kong Ming's heart ached as if being cut by a knife, knowing that Ji Chengyu was controlled by Ru Ling and could not help himself. Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe worked together and injured Ru Ling. Ji Yunhe completely destroyed Ru Ling's golden bell.

The disciples of the Immortal Master Mansion, Elders and spiritual masters of Thousand Flower Valley were freed from the golden bell's curse. They fell to the ground one after another like empty shells. The North Abyss immortals won without a fight. Qu Xiaoxing woke up Elder Donglian, Si Yu, and the others. Ru Jun took out the glazed heart lamp, intending to attack Ru Ling. Ru Ling summoned Lin Haoqing to deal with him.

Ji Yunhe was worried about Ru Jun's safety and hurried to his aid. Lin Haoqing raised his sword and stabbed at Ru Jun. Ji Yunhe desperately protected Ru Jun and was severely injured by Lin Haoqing. Ji Yunhe reminded Lin Haoqing to wake up, but he was already controlled by Ru Ling's curse. Ji Yunhe fought back with all her might and injured Lin Haoqing with a sword strike.

After regaining consciousness, Lin Haoqing gripped the sword hilt and deeply stabbed himself. Lin Haoqing stated frankly that in this game of chess, he had no control over himself, not even the right to love someone. He only wished to use his last strength to exchange for the freedom of the person he loved, and then he fell off the cliff. Meanwhile, Chang Yi went all out and struck Ru Ling into the demon-expelling formation.

Ru Ling was successfully trapped by the formation. Afterwards, Ru Jun used the heart lamp to completely destroy Ru Ling's physical body. Before she died, Ru Ling declared that though her body died, her spirit would not perish and would turn into wind to kill everyone. She then transformed into wisps of remnant souls that lingered in the air. Ji Yunhe was worried that these remnant souls would continue to harm the world.

She disregarded everything and absorbed all these remnant souls into her body. She went straight to the volcano lava cave, wanting to connect the heart lamp to the fire of heaven and earth to exterminate the demons, hoping to perish together with Ru Ling's remnant souls. Chang Yi arrived in time to stop her. Ji Yunhe's mind was made up. Chang Yi wanted to jump down with Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe asked Chang Yi to stay and seal the volcano, promising that she would find a way out once the demonic energy dissipated. Chang Yi could only agree, but he asked Ji Yunhe for a promise: that they would never leave each other in this life. Chang Yi couldn't help but kiss Ji Yunhe, and once again gave her the merman pearl from his body.

Ji Yunhe promised to be with Chang Yi forever, as one couple for life, and then she jumped into the scorching lava. Chang Yi personally sealed the volcano. Peace returned to the world. The North Abyss immortals cheered together. Kong Ming used all his spiritual power to wake up Luo Jinsang. Chang Yi stood at the summit of the high mountain, overlooking the ice-sealed snowy mountains. Ru Jun followed, speaking kindly to him.

But Chang Yi also understood that no one could stop Ji Yunhe's decision, and her promise would surely be fulfilled. He only asked the Heavenly King to reopen the East Sea and take good care of Thousand Flower Valley. Chang Yi wanted to follow Ji Yunhe's words, no longer be confined to North Abyss, give up his position as Lord, and travel the mortal world. Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ru Jun appointed Kong Ming as the Immortal Master of the Immortal Master Mansion. Luo Jinsang excitedly came to report the good news of her pregnancy to Kong Ming. Kong Ming happily hugged her and spun her around. Ru Jun stood under the Bodhi tree, remembering his sister Ru Ling, who was sealed in ice. His heart was filled with emotion. Master He Xu helped Master Feilian and Master Leize reshape their immortal bones.

Ru Jun was overjoyed when he learned of this and couldn't wait to tell Xue Sanyue. Ru Jun thought of Li Shu's passing with sorrow. Master He Xu said that Li Shu had escaped death many times and perhaps could this time as well. Moreover, Master He Xu met the Master of the Moon, who revealed good news to him: he would help Xue Sanyue and Li Shu rekindle their relationship.

After Xue Sanyue returned to Thousand Flower Valley, she lived a peaceful life. She raised a little black cat, which was well-behaved and smart, and deeply pleased Xue Sanyue. One day, a mortal came to ask Xue Sanyue for directions. This person looked exactly like Li Shu. Xue Sanyue was greatly surprised. It turned out that all this was arranged by Lin Haoqing, who had escaped death.

He found a person in the mortal world who closely resembled Li Shu and arranged for him to be by Xue Sanyue's side. Seeing their relationship rekindle, he was also happy for them. Si Yu felt heartbroken that Lin Haoqing had lost his legs, but Lin Haoqing was content. Si Yu knew he was worried about Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi and wanted to send someone to inquire about Chang Yi's whereabouts.

Lin Haoqing did not want to get involved in this matter, firmly believing that Ji Yunhe could fulfill her promise and return to find Chang Yi. He asked Si Yu to push him out to bask in the sun. Since Ji Yunhe was sealed in ice in the volcano, Chang Yi traveled in the mortal world, remembering Ji Yunhe's wish made on their wedding day: Ji Yunhe wished to be an ordinary couple with Chang Yi in their next life.

After the demonic energy from the volcano dissipated, Ji Yunhe came to meet Chang Yi. The two sat on a cliff overlooking the sea, with endless sweet words to share. Ji Yunhe suddenly had an idea and proposed a swimming race with Chang Yi. The two jumped down and swam freely in the sea.
