Love of the Divine Tree Episode 9 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
As Xue Ranran was preparing to add more food for her senior brothers, she noticed Su Yishui walking alone in front of the door. He seemed lonely and desolate. She was about to go to his room to check on him when Yu Chen stopped her at the door, reprimanding her for causing Su Yishui to be injured each time he left the mountain because of her.
Xue Ranran felt guilty, so she brought a bowl of Red Flame Centipede Blood to thank Su Yishui. Su Yishui originally didn’t want to drink it, but Xue Ranran insisted, believing that not drinking it would be seen as rejecting her goodwill. Su Yishui had no choice but to drink it. After returning to his cave and meditating, he suddenly felt a rush of heat inside his body, his mouth dry and thirsty.
Upon investigation, he discovered that the centipede blood was a potent tonic, enhancing vitality. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so soft-hearted. The next day, Su Yishui discovered an extra blanket in his room. Xue Ranran had noticed that his blanket was too thin and had made him a new one, unaware that cultivators were not bothered by the cold. Then, Su Yishui noticed that the books in his room had mysteriously disappeared.
Xue Ranran explained that she had taken them outside to dry in the sun. When they went outside, they found that the words were floating in the air. It turned out that the immortal scriptures were written with Xuan Yun Ink, which would detach from the paper when exposed to sunlight. Xue Ranran’s well-meaning actions left Su Yishui both amused and helpless, so he punished her by making her place each word back into the books.
When they were learning how to refine elixirs, Xue Ranran’s Qingxin Pills had a very unique flavor, which led Qiu Xier and Bai Baishan to try one. To their surprise, it triggered an insatiable hunger. They rushed into the kitchen, eating nonstop. Someone told Su Yishui, and when he tasted it, he realized that the Qingxin Pills were causing the craving. He asked Xue Ranran why she had thought of roasted duck while refining the pills.
He then mixed an antidote, which helped alleviate their overwhelming hunger. Although Su Yishui had scolded Xue Ranran, he couldn’t help but be enchanted by the taste of the Qingxin Pills. That night, he secretly went to the kitchen and indulged in the food. When Xue Ranran delivered food to Zeng Yi, she saw Su Yishui enjoying himself and scolded herself for causing such a food frenzy in all of Mount Wester.
Su Yishui no longer scolded her but instead invited Xue Ranran to join him for a meal. Xue Ranran shared a secret with him, explaining that whenever she drank alcohol, the plants she touched would grow rapidly. She had once scared her childhood friends in the village, which was why she was cautious about drinking too much now.
Su Yishui encouraged her to enjoy herself, assuring her that as long as he was by her side, nothing would be beyond control. Xue Ranran casually asked Su Yishui why he worked so hard on his cultivation. He explained that it was to make up for a person. As he spoke, Xue Ranran saw a sad emotion in his eyes. Feeling sympathy, she made him some sweet and sour yam to try.
While they were talking, a sudden thunderstorm occurred, and Xue Ranran noticed the scar on Su Yishui’s face slowly disappearing. Su Yishui quickly looked at his reflection in the water and realized that Xue Ranran had lifted the Heart Burning Curse he had placed on him. Bai Baishan and the others, worried that Xue Ranran would cause more trouble and implicate them, began searching for her.
Xue Ranran casually picked a flower branch, and immediately, they were surrounded by a circle of flowers. After a while, Xue Ranran, drunk from the alcohol, collapsed into Su Yishui’s arms. Drunk, Xue Ranran entered Su Yishui’s sea of consciousness. There, she saw a man trapped in ice, as if imprisoned by an invisible barrier. She didn’t realize that it was Su Yishui’s sea of consciousness, so she shouted her gratitude to the man for protecting her soul.
Then, she muttered to herself, saying that her master was the most handsome man in the world. The next day, Xue Ranran remembered that she had drunk too much in front of Su Yishui and felt deeply ashamed. Zeng Yi advised Su Yishui not to fall into demonic ways, but Su Yishui calmly stated that he had already entered the path of the heartless and would not succumb to the dangers that Zeng Yi feared.
Mu Ranwu was about to be reborn, and Su Yishui worried that Xue Ranran might be affected by the Soul Devouring Lock. He arranged for her to meditate in the Ice Lotus Pool. Zeng Yi attempted to lift the Soul Devouring Lock but found it was futile. Su Yishui decided to visit Jue Mountain, where he had long seen through Mu Ranwu’s plot to strip Mu Qingge of her spiritual power.
Since that was her intention, he thought he might as well let Mu Ranwu take on the trivial matters that Mu Qingge had to face. Su Yu received a secret letter from the capital. The emperor had suddenly fallen gravely ill, and several officials were making a fuss about Su Yu not being by his side to attend to him.
The Third Prince was also beginning to stir, and the strategist Wu Mi suggested that Su Yu return to the capital to avoid the Third Prince taking advantage of the situation. Su Yishui descended the mountain on an errand, instructing his disciples to continue cultivating on their own. They began discussing the news that Mu Qingge was about to be reincarnated. Xue Ranran went to the study to research how to communicate with Ling Xiao’s soul master and found a way to make contact.
