The Legend of Shen Li Episode 10 Recap
> The Legend of Shen Li Recap
Xing Zhi took Shen Li to the riverbed to examine the seal that had once been placed there. Although Shen Li was not good in water, Xing Zhi still forcibly brought her down. He held her wrist, claiming that the Water-Sealing Art required physical contact at the wrist, or else she wouldn’t be able to breathe freely.
Shen Li half-believed it, but when she saw that while Xing Zhi was urgently reinforcing the seal he no longer held her wrist and she could still breathe easily, she realized his earlier explanation had been false. Xing Zhi began awakening the spirit beasts stationed at the bottom of the river. In just a short while, the water turned crystal clear, a world apart from the lifeless, murky water from before.
Watching his focused and tender expression as he cast his spells—so identical to Xing Yun’s—Shen Li reminded herself once more that Xing Yun of the mortal world was already gone, and the man before her was now a god of the Heavenly Realm. After clearing the miasma from both the land and riverbed of Xu Tian Abyss, Xing Zhi revealed to Shen Li the hiding place of the artifact used to purify the area.
He also explained that the reason he had taken her to the ancient divine tree and the riverbed was not only to help her recover but also to calm her mind. The miasma’s invasion had not been completely purged from her body, and she would unknowingly fall into inner chaos. So that was the reason—Shen Li felt a bit touched.
She looked at Xing Zhi earnestly, though in her heart she kept reminding herself: this man is truly not Xing Yun. Xing Zhi then said that in the coming days, she need not guide him—he could handle reinforcing the seal on his own. Since he had spoken, Shen Li saw no reason to remain. Back in her room, Shen Li lay on the bed lost in thought.
She missed Xing Yun terribly and unconsciously wandered to the entrance to the mortal world, wanting to try seeing Xing Yun once more. Perhaps due to her unique physique, every time she came near the place where the miasma was strongest, her heart would become anxious and uneasy. This time, she was once again enveloped by a powerful, malevolent aura. Unable to break free, she struggled to stay conscious, afraid of being sucked into the void.
Just as she was on the verge of falling into madness, a bright light appeared, and Xing Zhi strode toward her. He dispelled the miasma surrounding her and returned her weapon to her hands. Shen Li was puzzled about why Xing Zhi was there. He simply explained that the miasma in Xu Tian Abyss was too thick, and he was wandering around to familiarize himself with every corner. Shen Li didn’t believe this excuse.
She asked again whether Xing Zhi would sometimes let fragments of his divine consciousness descend to the mortal world while resting. Xing Zhi clearly understood what she was really asking but gave a vague answer: “Perhaps. ”In the Heavenly Realm, Fu Rong Jun was enjoying a flower bath when a subordinate came rushing in to report that Shen Li from the Spirit Realm had slain a demon.
She had been swallowed by it, then tore her way out, covered in blood, with a fierce and terrifying expression. Upon hearing this, Fu Rong’s face turned deathly pale. Raised in luxury and unable to even kill a chicken, how could he possibly marry such a fierce and battle-hardened bride? The thought alone horrified him.
With the wedding date fast approaching and news from the Heavenly Realm urging him to go to the Spirit Realm early to develop feelings with Shen Li, Fu Rong became even more terrified. He even dreamed that Shen Li would come for his heart’s blood. Fu Rong finally couldn’t bear it anymore and ran off to plead with his imperial grandfather to cancel the engagement.
