The Legend of Shen Li Episode 15 Recap
> The Legend of Shen Li Recap
At Qingya Cave, the escaped earth spirit led Shen Li and Xing Zhi to search for their missing companions. Sensing strong demonic energy ahead, Xing Zhi handed the earth spirit a magical artifact and told him to return first, while he and Shen Li went on to rescue the imprisoned earth spirits. As they drew closer, they heard anguished cries coming from the prison—demons were sucking the spiritual power from the earth spirits.
It appeared to be an organized and manipulative group. Xing Zhi divided the task: Shen Li would rescue the prisoners while he set up a magical formation nearby to support her. Shen Li charged into battle, brave and fierce. But at a critical moment, Xing Zhi lightly waved his sleeve and all the prison doors flew open, releasing the earth spirits from every section.
The freed earth spirits claimed it was people from the Spirit Realm who had captured them, and they spoke brazenly—showing great disrespect toward the Spirit Realm and openly insulting the Spirit Lord’s character. Shen Li couldn’t tolerate it and angrily grabbed the mouthy man by the throat. Xing Zhi stepped in to calm her, reminding her that acting rashly would only make the Spirit Realm seem more careless. Shen Li had no choice but to let go.
With the earth spirits rescued, Shen Li bid farewell to Xing Zhi and prepared to go look for Fu Rong Jun. But after the battle just now, she was feeling quite hungry. Xing Zhi offered to cook for her. It had been a long time since Shen Li had eaten a meal made by Xing Yun, and since someone had volunteered, she figured she might as well eat before setting out again.
Xing Zhi took Shen Li to a courtyard, intending only to borrow the kitchen. To their surprise, they discovered it was a shady establishment, and the proprietress turned out to be a snake demon. There was also a small snake hidden inside, whose appearance resembled that of Xiao He, the little girl Shen Li had met in the Human Realm. Shen Li gave the snake demon a stern warning.
The little snake, upon hearing they were heading to Jin Yue Mansion to slay demons, eagerly volunteered to go with them. In Jinxiu City, even though it was late at night, demonic energy was everywhere. The streets were littered with bodies of people poisoned by the miasma, and no one was tending to them. Xing Zhi casually saved a poisoned mother, and soon after, they heard the sound of footsteps.
A filthy man led a group to seek shelter in a safer place. Shen Li looked closely—it was Fu Rong Jun! The once elegant and handsome Fu Rong Jun from the Immortal Realm was now in such a wretched state. He explained that he had already rescued several injured and poisoned civilians. As he spoke, he led Shen Li and Xing Zhi to his residence, where indeed many people were receiving his aid.
It seemed Fu Rong Jun still had some conscience left. Shen Li smiled and nodded in approval, just as a little demon cried out excitedly, calling someone’s name. Shen Li turned toward the voice and was stunned to see a familiar face—it was Gu Chengjin! Seeing the little snake demon's joy upon recognizing her so-called older brother Jing Yan—Gu Chengjin—Shen Li couldn’t help but recall how Xiao He had once sacrificed her life to save the woman Gu Chengjin loved.
Though the name had changed, it seemed like the cycle had started all over again. Gu Chengjin was now carefully tending to a woman who had been deeply poisoned, and she bore a striking resemblance to Lady Ye. Xing Zhi told Shen Li that after becoming city lord, Gu Chengjin had planted many lotuses in the pond at his residence, in remembrance of Xiao He, who had sacrificed herself for him.
