The Princess and the Werewolf Episode 23 Recap
> The Princess and the Werewolf Recap
Bai Ke followed Jing Muan's every move as ordered by Kui Mu Lang. When he saw Liu Jun leaving, Bai Ke quietly followed him too. Little did he know that Liu Jun had already been spotted by Hu Die. Upon learning of this, Su He was furious and blamed Jing Muan for being incompetent and jeopardizing their plans. To avoid raising suspicion, Su He instructed Hu Die to keep a close eye on Jing Muan and not let him make any reckless moves.
To take care of Qi Pa more conveniently, Kui Mu Lang ordered Liu Jun to bring her to his own sleeping quarters. However, Qi Pa still harbored resentment towards Kui Mu Lang and refused any contact with him. Helpless, Kui Mu Lang handed her a red string and led her to the bed. Seeing that Qi Pa still couldn't accept her blindness, Kui Mu Lang gently comforted her, saying it was just temporary and her vision would soon recover. However, he was unsure of how long "soon" would be.
Though reluctant to stay in Kui Mu Lang's sleeping quarters, Qi Pa couldn't help but feel afraid when she found herself alone. She couldn't resist asking Kui Mu Lang if he knew any stories. When she was little, her mother used to tell her stories whenever she was scared. Hearing this, Kui Mu Lang readily agreed and started telling Qi Pa a story about a little boy.
The little boy was burdened with the responsibility of his people, always maintaining the dignity of a king. He couldn't indulge in play because he had many tasks to handle every day. He never dared to rest or slack off. Hearing this, Qi Pa couldn't help but think of Li Xiong. Back when he was imprisoned, Li Xiong also told her a similar story. Qi Pa cautiously asked Kui Mu Lang if he was talking about his own story. Kui Mu Lang didn't answer and continued with the story of the little boy.
The boy thought his days would continue calmly, but unexpectedly, a different girl appeared in his life. She was outgoing and cheerful, always doing things differently. For some reason, the boy started thinking about her every day, wanting to share everything with her, give her all the good things in the world, and be with her all the time. At this point in the story, Qi Pa felt uneasy and used the excuse of needing rest to interrupt Kui Mu Lang.
During the night, Qi Pa woke up and called out Kui Mu Lang's name loudly. Kui Mu Lang hurriedly responded, but Qi Pa couldn't wait for him to come to her. She was still not accustomed to living in darkness and accidentally tripped when she stood up. Kui Mu Lang promptly noticed and used magic to teleport in front of her, protecting her. Qi Pa felt a bell in her hand and asked Kui Mu Lang why she had it. He explained that he made the bell and she could ring it whenever she needed help. To ensure her safety, Kui Mu Lang also planned to remove anything that might hinder her in the sleeping quarters.
Every day afterward, Kui Mu Lang personally combed Qi Pa's hair, fed her, and took her outside the palace to experience the natural atmosphere and feel the gentle breeze on her palms. During an accidental fall, Qi Pa ended up in Kui Mu Lang's embrace. With her ear against his chest, she seemed to sense a familiar heartbeat. The next morning, when she woke up, she felt Kui Mu Lang's hand. She couldn't help but feel puzzled because Kui Mu Lang's hands had always been different from others', but now they felt normal.
After days of treatment, Qi Pa's eyes gradually improved. Kui Mu Lang made up his mind to tell her everything once her eyes fully recovered. However, he never expected that Jing Muan had already taken a step ahead.
