Fangs of Fortune Episode 34 (Ending) Recap
> Fangs of Fortune Recap
Zhuo Yichen traveled to the dungeon of Chongwu Camp and saw Bai Jiu’s charred body. His heart was filled with anguish. The timid boy, who had always feared the dark and clung to him for protection, had used his own life to dispel all darkness and shield him in a moment of crisis. Bai Jiu’s face bore a faint smile, and he tightly gripped the bell Zhuo Yichen had given him.
Zhuo Yichen guessed that Bai Jiu must have drawn strength from seeing him before his death. Stifling his grief, Zhuo Yichen removed his cloak, covered Bai Jiu with it, and carried him away from Chongwu Camp. Meanwhile, Fan Ying, still under the control of the demon power within him, gripped Wen Xiao’s throat tightly. Wen Xiao repeatedly called out to him, and for a brief moment, Fan Ying lost focus, allowing Wen Xiao to overpower him.
Seeing Fan Ying tormented to the brink of despair by the demon power, Wen Xiao wept. A single tear fell into Fan Ying’s eyes, instantly restoring his vision. Wen Xiao speculated that the divine power of Bai Ze had saved her father, but Fan Ying explained that the inner dan could not reverse its course—it could only temporarily ease the effects. He urged Wen Xiao to leave him and go to Tiandu City to save the countless citizens there.
With the demon dan not yet fully rooted, Fan Ying decided to self-destruct his inner dan to free Wen Xiao from worry and prevent himself from harming others during future uncontrollable episodes. After Fan Ying’s soul dissipated, Wen Xiao sat alone in the courtyard, reflecting on the past. Zhao Yuanzhou arrived to check on her, feeling helpless in the face of the crisis.
The citizens of Tiandu City had all fallen into a coma, and when they awakened, they would transform into demonized beings. Wen Xiao revealed her plan: to force the divine power of Bai Ze out of her body and transform it into rain to save the citizens. Zhao Waner had once mentioned that Bai Ze's ultimate sacrificial technique was called *Gui Li*.
Zhao Yuanzhou gave Wen Xiao a bracelet and urged her to keep it safe, saying it would accompany her like he always would. Wen Xiao, sensing a hidden meaning, asked him if he was planning something irreversible. Zhao Yuanzhou revealed that the source of Bai Ze’s divine power was resentful energy.
In the illusion of the Bing Yi Tribe, Yinglong had prophesied that Zhao Yuanzhou would die beneath the Cloudlight Sword to activate the Bai Ze Order and complete a redemption for the world. Wen Xiao refused to accept this, but with no alternatives left, Zhao Yuanzhou used his magic to bind her hands and feet, rendering her immobile. Hardening his heart, he turned and left. Zhuo Yichen, still mourning beside Bai Jiu’s body, was consumed by grief.
Zhao Yuanzhou approached and reminded him that all things in the world follow a destined path. Ying Lei had sacrificed himself to save Bai Jiu, and Bai Jiu and Li Lun had in turn saved Zhuo Yichen. Now, Zhao Yuanzhou had to sacrifice himself to save the world, and Zhuo Yichen must bear the same guilt and pain as Bing Yi did.
Zhuo Yichen wished there were another way to save the world, but just like Yinglong and Bing Yi, he had no choice. Yinglong had willingly become a constellation to protect the Great Wilderness, only to be remembered as a monster. Bing Yi, despite his triumph in slaying dragons, chose a life of anonymity. The absurd cause-and-effect of the world demanded someone to shoulder its burden. Zhuo Yichen felt as though life had lost all meaning.
With Zhao Yuanzhou’s determined gaze upon him, Zhuo Yichen reluctantly took action. Wen Xiao, having broken free from her bindings, rushed to Zhuo Yichen’s room, only to find Zhao Yuanzhou collapsed on the ground. Holding Zhao Yuanzhou in her arms, Wen Xiao discovered that he had absorbed all the poison from her body. Smiling faintly, Zhao Yuanzhou told her not to grieve for too long or shed tears for him.
Instead, he urged her to use her tears to save the people. As he spoke his final words, his body dissipated into wisps of green smoke. With Zhao Yuanzhou’s sacrifice, the citizens of Tiandu City were freed from the threat of becoming demonized. To them, it felt as though they had awakened from a long dream, unaware that someone had silently safeguarded that dream. Wen Xiao once asked Zhao Yuanzhou what he would become in the future. He had said he would turn into rain, and whenever it rained, it would mean he was by her side.
