Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Episode 13 Recap
> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
Mu Yao had been wanting to ask Liu Fuyi something for a long time. In the illusion created by the Water Demon, what exactly was his inner demon? By all logic, Liu Fuyi’s cultivation was the highest among them, yet he was the one trapped the longest. What had he experienced? Over the past five years, Liu Fuyi hadn’t shared anything about his past with Mu Yao, and she didn’t understand why he wouldn’t let her in on it.
No matter what his inner demons were, she was willing to be by his side, just as he had been there for her. Ling Miaomiao’s illness had mostly healed, but her internal heat seemed to worsen. Cui Cui explained that the herbs Mu Sheng caught were ancient plant spirits, and plant-based demons were particularly good at hiding. It had taken Mu Sheng an entire night to capture them, which made Cui Cui excited, believing they must be very close friends.
Ling Miaomiao felt a bit guilty and could only reply vaguely that they might be friends now; after all, she used to see Mu Sheng as just another NPC to conquer. But recently, she had almost forgotten about the “conquest” part. Mu Yao suddenly approached Ling Miaomiao, and Cui Cui quickly transformed into a feather duster to avoid her. Nervous about whether Mu Yao would still let it join their journey, Cui Cui feared being left behind.
Ling Miaomiao bundled up the bedding with Cui Cui inside, only for Mu Yao to notice immediately. Smiling, Mu Yao made it turn back into a hairpin and promised to take it along. Their destination this time was beyond the mountains. After walking for some time, Ling Miaomiao felt exhausted but forced herself to keep moving. The group came across a panda statue.
The others had never seen a panda before, but Ling Miaomiao had, and she felt a strange, unsettling sense of familiarity. As they walked further, they encountered the same statue again, as if looping back. Ling Miaomiao found it strange, especially since the others seemed to forget each encounter, even addressing her with increasing distance. Determined to understand what was happening, Ling Miaomiao marked their path and moved forward, only to find the mark gone when they circled back.
At their fourth encounter with the statue, Ling Miaomiao turned around to prove her point, only to find herself alone, then pulled into an unknown space. In this space, she glimpsed scenes from the original story. Liu Fuyi admitted approaching Mu Yao solely for the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map, and in a fit of anger, Mu Sheng killed him. Afterward, Lin Yu poisoned Mu Yao, leading Mu Sheng to kill him as well.
When Mu Yao discovered Mu Sheng’s demon identity, she was devastated and left vulnerable to a vengeful spirit who took over her body. Then, Ling Miaomiao heard the system’s voice, explaining that the recent events were a mistake and that it would now transport her back to complete the main storyline. The panda monument was actually the system’s host, and because the group reached the edge of the world, it had triggered a memory wipe for everyone but Ling Miaomiao.
Returning to her friends, Ling Miaomiao was eager to change the ending and show Mu Yao that everyone’s feelings were genuine. At that moment, Mu Yao received the family jade token from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, summoning her to the Holy Capital. Relieved that the story seemed back on track, Ling Miaomiao realized that this also meant everyone might be heading toward their own predetermined fates.
She chose to travel by land to the capital, hoping to spend more time with everyone. While resting on a tree branch, Mu Sheng was approached by Ling Miaomiao, who asked about his memories of his parents. He remembered vague memories but wasn’t sure they were truly his. He recalled a woman who might have been his mother, but he had no memory of his father.
Mu Sheng didn’t miss them; after all, they had abandoned him, and he had grown up just fine without them. Ling Miaomiao couldn’t understand why all his memories from before age seven had disappeared. Ling Miaomiao had seen everyone’s fates and was feeling down, so Mu Yao ordered Mu Sheng to cheer her up. After some thought, Mu Sheng made a bamboo dragonfly for Ling Miaomiao, awkwardly claiming it was Mu Yao’s idea.
Cui Cui exposed him, revealing he had made it himself to make her happy. However, the bamboo dragonfly was flat and couldn’t fly, so Mu Sheng resorted to using a talisman to make it float. When Ling Miaomiao found out, she insisted it should be flown against the wind and even made a wish while holding it.
Mu Yao learned that the person who summoned her was Consort Zhao, and while the jade token was invaluable to their family, she couldn’t understand how it had ended up with the consort. Nonetheless, with the jade token’s call, both she and Mu Sheng were bound to respond. Ling Miaomiao began recalling the story’s events in the capital, where everyone’s paths diverged. Though the details were now fuzzy, she knew this was where tragedy began.
Determined to prevent it, she quietly warned Liu Fuyi to be cautious of a “peach blossom calamity” in the capital and to be wary of any woman besides Mu Yao!
