Fangs of Fortune Episode 10 Recap
> Fangs of Fortune Recap
Chenghuang recalled the days when he and the original goddess jointly governed the Baize Order. They had mutual respect and deep affection for each other, becoming a legendary pair in both the divine and demonic realms. He thought this peaceful life could last forever, but a disaster beast broke out, and the original goddess fell seriously ill. In a desperate attempt to find a cure, Chenghuang began a ruthless killing spree.
Wen Xiao blamed him for misusing the Baize Order, but Chenghuang retorted that he would do anything for the one he loved. The goddess rebuked Chenghuang for his reckless slaughter, declaring him unfit to oversee the Baize Order, and tried to seal him with her powers. However, weakened by the plague, she collapsed before she could complete the seal.
Chenghuang seized the opportunity to escape and continued his massacre, hoping to prolong the goddess’s life, though in the end, his efforts were in vain. Zhuo Yichen scolded Chenghuang for his selfishness. Chenghuang then asked Zhao Yuanzhou about his wish. Zhao Yuanzhou replied that he had experienced countless separations and deaths yet seemed destined to live forever—a torment in itself.
Chenghuang offered to help end his life, but Zhao Yuanzhou reminded him that he had already agreed to die at Zhuo Yichen's hand. Chenghuang explained that he had fulfilled many people's wishes to reverse fate, planning to use the sundial artifact to return to the past, reliving the days with the original goddess when his hands were still unstained by blood.
Zhao Yuanzhou probed about Chenghuang's exchange with Li Lun, and Chenghuang responded it was a secret related to the Baize Order. Zhao Yuanzhou revealed that Chenghuang had been deceived by Li Lun; he and Li Lun had found the sundial together, and it could only store memories, not reverse fate. Zhao Yuanzhou advised Chenghuang to stop dwelling on the past. Realizing he’d been tricked, Chenghuang furiously unleashed his power.
Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen struggled to defend themselves, until they noticed the Baize Order mark appear on Wen Xiao’s forehead, and another mark surfaced behind Zhao Yuanzhou's ear, revealing him to be the powerful demon who governed the other half of the Baize Order. The two combined their powers, activating the Baize Order to completely defeat Chenghuang. Wen Xiao held the Baize Goddess’s flute and sealed Chenghuang away forever.
Outside the sundial, Li Lun anxiously attempted to enter, but Ying Lei blocked him. As the sundial gradually darkened, blood trickled from Li Lun’s mouth, yet he muttered repeatedly that his wish was close to being fulfilled. With Chenghuang sealed, his hands withered. Pei Sijing suspected that Chenghuang was also a puppet. The group recalled Chenghuang’s obsession with reviving the original goddess and finally understood the mystery. Once Chenghuang turned into a puppet, they found they still hadn’t left the sundial.
Zhao Yuanzhou informed them that the key to the exit was in Wen Xiao’s hands. As the Baize Goddess, she possessed the Baize Golden Eyes; by activating the power in her blood, she could reveal the exit and see through all illusions. Wen Xiao closed her eyes and focused, successfully bringing them back to reality. Reflecting on everything from Ran Yi to Chenghuang, she felt the fickle nature of the world.
Seeing Zhao Yuanzhou drinking from his gourd, she took a sip but found it bitter beyond measure. Zhao Yuanzhou mentioned wanting to return to Kunlun Mountain to consult some older demon elders about the key to harmony between the two Baize Orders. Wen Xiao finally realized her health had gradually improved due to Zhao Yuanzhou’s protection.
When she asked when they would set out for Kunlun, Zhuo Yichen abruptly interrupted, stating he didn’t trust Wen Xiao and Zhao Yuanzhou being together and that he would accompany them on the journey.
