> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
Liu Fuyi used all his strength to hold up the collapsing valley with the Demon-Suppressing Tower as the villagers evacuated. After Mu Yao defeated the Water Demon King, the Water Demon Queen emerged from the valley, separated from them by the barrier. Severely injured, the Water Demon Queen knew she wouldn’t survive.
She urged the Water Demon King to leave, saying it was her own actions that had led her down this path, but he was different—he was kind-hearted and would never harm humans if it weren’t for her. Because he avoided using human blood to increase his power, he had only reached the fifth level. Offering her seventh-level demon core, the Water Demon Queen proposed using it to stop the collapse, asking only that they spare her beloved.
With a heart-wrenching cry, the Water Demon King broke through the barrier to reach her side, regretting that he hadn’t stayed with her back then. His greatest mistake was leaving her alone for so long; now, no one could separate them. Embracing the Water Demon Queen, they let go of any attachment to life.
Seeing that Liu Fuyi was struggling to hold on, Mu Yao attempted to retrieve the demon core, but he stopped her, saying the deal could not go on and that he would enter the tower, sacrificing his lifetime of cultivation. Furious, Mu Yao confronted the Heavenly Official, who, after much hesitation, approached the Water Demon King, offering to save the Water Demon Queen and complete the deal.
He explained that if they could bring her to the source of the Weak Water, she could survive. To ensure their escape, the Heavenly Official reluctantly broke the barrier his master and fellow disciples had once set. After a glance at his beloved, the Water Demon King handed over his seventh-level demon core, halting the valley’s collapse.
Cui Cui ran back into the valley, only to see Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng standing close, protecting each other, which startled him into covering his eyes. The Water Demon King and Queen had named themselves after the two springs that symbolized their love, choosing names inspired by the affectionate bond between the springs.
Though Mu Sheng was still wary that the Water Demon King might cause more harm, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi’s perspective on demons had changed after the recent events. Remembering Mu Sheng’s solitary battle with the powerful seventh-level Water Demon Queen, Mu Yao wondered how he managed to wound her alone when it had taken all four of them to face her briefly.
Mu Sheng looked down, uncertain of what to say, and Ling Miaomiao quickly jumped in, saying she’d helped by using several firecrackers. Liu Fuyi also chimed in to defuse the situation, letting them both breathe a sigh of relief. However, neither of them knew that Liu Fuyi had witnessed Mu Sheng’s transformation when he removed his headband during the fight.
The Heavenly Official prepared to leave the town, leaving behind a bundle of useless charms and a magic artifact called the Gongshu Bag, a sophisticated tool he intended to use for rebuilding the villagers’ homes. When he asked Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng to pass the items to the villagers, they insisted he deliver them himself if he truly wished to atone.
Worried about their resentment, he hesitated, but the kind-hearted villagers brought provisions for his journey, knowing full well how he had treated them all these years. With the Gongshu Bag, the inn was repaired, and the innkeeper’s long-lost wife returned, fulfilling his heart’s desire. Ling Miaomiao grew more attached to this world, finding every person full of life—this was the world Fu Zhou had created.
One day, Ling Miaomiao fainted from a cold, prompting Mu Sheng to rush out to buy medicine, but the town’s herbs were limited. However, Cui Cui detected the scent of some herb spirits nearby, and Mu Sheng soon tracked down two herbal spirits in the mountains, where there were plenty of herbs for treating her cold. Cui Cui hurriedly woke Ling Miaomiao, appalled by Mu Sheng’s harsh treatment of the herb spirits and unable to watch any longer.
Ling Miaomiao rushed to the kitchen, only to find Mu Sheng sharpening a knife in front of the pig and sheep spirits. Mu Sheng explained he only wanted a bit of their hair and beards for her treatment. Amid the chaos, Ling Miaomiao quickly stopped him and led him to make sweets by hand. She didn’t want to force spirits into doing anything, believing spirits and humans were the same.
Her words softened Mu Sheng’s expression, and, after enjoying the sweets, the herb spirits willingly offered some of their hair and beards. Although Mu Sheng didn’t like sweets, Ling Miaomiao made him eat a piece since they made it together. Shaking his arm, she asked if it was sweet, but Mu Sheng turned away, refusing to look at her, though his favorability rating quietly rose to 55 percent.
