Fangs of Fortune Episode 17 Recap
> Fangs of Fortune Recap
Zhao Yuanzhou slowly moved forward, and Pei Sijing shot an arrow at him. He casually tossed Pei Sijing aside, and suddenly, Zhuo Yichen stabbed Zhao Yuanzhou from behind with the Yun Guang Sword. It turned out that Zhao Yuanzhou had anticipated this would happen the day before and had taught Zhuo Yichen how to become immune to the one-word curse.
After being pierced by the Yun Guang Sword, Zhao Yuanzhou's powers significantly weakened, and he gradually regained consciousness, but he still couldn't control himself. Zhao Yuanzhou urged Ying Zhao to kill him. Ying Zhao understood that Zhao Yuanzhou wasn’t inherently bad; he had merely become a vessel carrying negative energy. If he killed Zhao Yuanzhou, another ambiguous vessel would just take his place.
So, Ying Zhao separated his own soul and infused it into Zhao Yuanzhou's body, completely suppressing the negative energy. Zhao Yuanzhou finally returned to normal. Looking around in surprise, Zhao Yuanzhou realized that Ying Zhao was left with only a physical form. Knowing that Zhao Yuanzhou had personally killed Zhao Waner, Wen Xiao couldn't help but feel a trace of hatred, but she also understood that Zhao Yuanzhou was beyond control.
Moreover, Pei Siheng explained that Zhao Yuanzhou had almost exhausted a thousand years of power just to leave his soul behind for her. Zhao Yuanzhou sat alone outside the Kunlun Gate, reminiscing about Ying Zhao and the lessons he had taught him in his youth, which made him even sadder. Zhuo Yichen recalled what Ying Zhao had told him about Zhao Yuanzhou the day before the Blood Moon and walked over to him, tearing his shirt.
He saw eight scars on Zhao Yuanzhou's back, just as Ying Zhao had described. Zhao Yuanzhou was in great inner turmoil; the passing years only increased his suffering. After every Blood Moon, he would confine himself in his small abode, repenting for his sins, even for mistakes he had made unintentionally. Zhuo Yichen finally truly understood Zhao Yuanzhou's difficulties.
Zhao Yuanzhou begged Zhuo Yichen to kill him quickly, but Zhuo Yichen hesitated, saying that while seeking death was easy, if Zhao Yuanzhou died easily, it would dishonor Ying Zhao, who had just died, Wen Xiao's expectations, and the many wronged souls who had perished under negative energy. If he still had any conscience, he should find a way to remedy the situation.
Ying Zhao had already anticipated that he would protect the law with his life and had informed Ying Lei in advance about how to repair the Baize Order, which involved finding the Yao Water and Divine Tree in the wilderness. Ying Lei reminisced about his grandfather and recalled the teachings he had received when he was determined to leave the wilderness.
At that time, he had only wanted to experience life in the human world, completely unaware of his grandfather's belief in protecting the wilderness. Now that Ying Zhao had died honorably and peacefully, Ying Lei felt as if he was experiencing his elder's heartfelt struggles. Bai Jiu offered some fruit as comfort. Zhuo Yichen, who could empathize with Ying Lei’s loss, also encouraged him to be strong.
Wen Xiao sat alone on the cliff edge outside the Kunlun Gate for an entire night. Pei Sijing thanked Wen Xiao for helping to uncover Pei Siheng's secret murders, feeling as if she had been given a lifeline just before falling off a cliff. Now, Wen Xiao was also Zhao Yuanzhou's lifeline, so she had to be strong. Zhen Mei congratulated the black-clad figure for destroying the Baize Order, drawing closer to the success of their plan.
Zhuo Yichen wrapped Bai Jiu's stomach with the Zhi Yu found in the wilderness. They both tasted its bitter flavor, and Ying Lei ran over to offer two taros, saying that just holding Zhi Yu in hand would be enough to fill one’s belly. As everyone prepared to leave, they found Ying Lei standing at the Kunlun Gate in a changed outfit. He declared that he had decided to stay on Kunlun Mountain to carry on his grandfather's unfinished ambitions. Wen Xiao gathered everyone together to embrace Ying Lei and held a farewell ceremony.
