> A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella Recap
Just as Empress Miao Yun was about to attack Beigong Shuo, Meng Xizhou arrived and stopped her. Miao Yun and Meng Xizhou began to fight, but Meng Xizhou was quickly defeated. Miao Yun told her that with the dragon essence protecting her, not even the Demon King could be her match. She then revealed that she had a secret weapon and prepared to use it against Meng Xizhou. Fortunately, Nan Fengyi arrived just in time to shield Meng Xizhou.
Miao Yun questioned why her scales and bones couldn’t control Nan Fengyi anymore. Meng Xizhou replied, asking Miao Yun if she thought only she could manipulate people’s hearts. It turned out that Meng Xizhou had already discovered that Nan Fengyi was being controlled by Miao Yun, so she had helped him remove Miao Yun’s control over him. Realizing that Nan Fengyi had betrayed her, Miao Yun knew it was too late.
Meng Xizhou and Nan Fengyi joined forces, and Nan Fengyi opened the Scroll of Mountains and Seas. At that moment, Miao Yun’s maid, Zhai Yue, arrived, but before she could act, the Scroll of Mountains and Seas absorbed her. Seeing her close companion taken away, Miao Yun was deeply pained. Meng Xizhou remarked that even Miao Yun could feel sorrow when her loved ones were taken from her.
She asked Miao Yun why she had turned Wu Shu and so many others into demons, separating them from their families. Miao Yun responded that they deserved it, recalling how she had once saved Li Shiyi with her tears, only to be betrayed by both Bai Zegong and Li Shiyi. Miao Yun’s hatred for humanity stemmed from this betrayal. Meng Xizhou asked her when the cycle of revenge would end.
After those words, Miao Yun was absorbed into the Scroll of Mountains and Seas. Just as Meng Xizhou was about to retrieve the scroll, Du Yuelian took it instead. The other demon hunters from the Celestial Master’s Mansion attempted to capture Meng Xizhou, but Du Yuelian stopped them, declaring that she couldn’t hand the Scroll of Mountains and Seas over to Meng Xizhou. Meng Xizhou, carrying the injured Nan Fengyi, returned to the Nan family’s umbrella workshop.
She used her powers to heal him, but for some reason, Nan Fengyi refused to absorb her energy. Meng Xizhou heard Ren Guang’s voice in her mind, offering to help her. She entered a dream to meet Ren Guang. Meng Xizhou addressed him as Axi, explaining that Ren Guang was her mother’s name and that Axi called himself Ren Guang to constantly remind himself of her death.
Ren Guang told Meng Xizhou that Nan Fengyi had survived until now only because of her demon core. Now that the core was gone, his meridians were completely severed. Meng Xizhou protested, saying that Nan Fengyi had just helped her open the Scroll of Mountains and Seas. Axi explained that it was merely the last remnant of Nan Fengyi’s will. Having accomplished his final wish, Nan Fengyi now sought death.
Meng Xizhou asked Axi if there was any other way to save him. Axi suggested that Meng Xizhou give her vital soul to Nan Fengyi, as it might save him. Meng Xizhou agreed without hesitation. Axi warned her that doing so would harm her, but Meng Xizhou said it didn’t matter—Nan Fengyi had helped her open the Scroll of Mountains and Seas.
Meng Xizhou gave her vital soul to Nan Fengyi, and as Axi watched, he thought to himself that this was his opportunity to fully control Meng Xizhou’s body. After leaving Nan Fengyi’s home, Meng Xizhou walked through the streets. Suddenly, Bai Tianshi of the Celestial Master’s Mansion arrived with a group of demon hunters to surround her, saying that she was still a demon after all. Thankfully, Beigong Shuo arrived in time to stop them.
Beigong Shuo, now the emperor, declared that he had decreed peace between humans and demons and questioned whether they hadn’t understood his intentions. Beigong Shuo asked Meng Xizhou to leave with him, but she said that Nan Fengyi had not yet woken up. Just as she finished speaking, Nan Fengyi appeared. He urged Meng Xizhou to go with Beigong Shuo, saying that only Beigong Shuo could ensure her safety. Beigong Shuo then brought Dan Qian to meet Meng Xizhou.
Meng Xizhou was overjoyed to see her. Dan Qian explained that when her father was demonized, she hid herself. Meng Xizhou asked how she had managed to escape, and Pingping Guanguan revealed that Beigong Shuo had rescued Dan Qian. Beigong Shuo assigned Meng Xizhou the task of resolving the drought and floods. Meng Xizhou used her demon powers to summon rain, with Nan Fengyi assisting her.
