Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Episode 8 Recap
> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
When Ling Miaomiao woke up, she found Mu Sheng beside her, chattering away about how Mu Yao had been taking care of her these past few days. Ling Miaomiao immediately sprang out of bed and pulled open his clothes to check his injuries, which made Mu Sheng feel embarrassed. He even peeled a small rabbit-shaped apple for her, which made Ling Miaomiao smile so much that her eyes disappeared.
After Mu Sheng left, Ling Miaomiao realized that his favorability toward her had greatly increased. Although it was only 8. 5, it was a vast improvement from being negative! Mu Sheng came back again, still puzzled as to why Ling Miaomiao had risked her own safety to save him, especially since they weren’t even close. He also wondered if what Ling Miaomiao had said that day was true. Ling Miaomiao nodded.
Although it wasn’t exactly as Mu Sheng imagined, she did care about him a great deal. Mu Sheng’s heart softened, which was a good thing for Ling Miaomiao, but she felt a little guilty. As for their disappearance, Mu Sheng explained that Ling Miaomiao had accidentally fallen into the water. Mu Yao was upset, believing that Mu Sheng hadn’t taken good care of Ling Miaomiao.
Ling Miaomiao, acting on her own, decided to wash the bloodstained clothes Mu Sheng had worn that day, using the soap she had made herself. Mu Sheng was quite surprised by this, and Ling Miaomiao playfully blew bubbles, which made him laugh. The atmosphere between them became subtly ambiguous as their eyes met. Ling Miaomiao asked Mu Sheng why, whenever he encountered danger, he refused to take off his hair tie, especially since he seemed so powerful without it.
Mu Sheng explained that when he took off the hair tie, he lost control of himself. He feared that one day, even the hair tie might not be enough to contain his power. Ling Miaomiao continued washing the clothes and softly asked, “Can you stop bleeding so much in the future? ” Mu Sheng agreed, and when she raised her hand with water droplets on her hair, he reached out and gently touched her face.
His eyes flickered with emotion, and after a long sigh, he placed a binding charm on Ling Miaomiao’s back. He knew that Mu Yao would never accept the truth about his demonic nature, so he decided to send Ling Miaomiao home. They would head west, and once she was safely home, everything would be okay. The next morning, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi couldn’t find Ling Miaomiao.
The innkeeper said she had left early in the morning with her bag, heading home. Mu Yao was a little upset, thinking that at least a proper goodbye should have been exchanged. Mu Sheng stopped her from going after Ling Miaomiao, stating that as the daughter of a noble family, Ling Miaomiao should return home soon.
However, Mu Sheng hadn’t expected that Ling Miaomiao hadn’t gone to the direction of Taicang County, but instead headed east, towards the deep bamboo forest, which the innkeeper said was known to be the territory of a great demon. Mu Sheng, Mu Yao, and Liu Fuyi immediately spurred their horses and raced towards the east. Meanwhile, Ling Miaomiao, under the control of a charm, was walking aimlessly forward when she suddenly fell into a huge pit.
The charm also fell out of her reach. Ling Miaomiao found herself standing before a massive bamboo stalk, where a bamboo demon let out a terrifying screech. The demon had been looking for someone to make new clothes out of, and by the time Ling Miaomiao tried to escape, it was already too late. She was caught by the demon’s vine-like tendrils, which bound her tightly. Suddenly, a straw doll fell beside her, and the vines disappeared.
A small bamboo demon appeared from the bamboo. It turned out that this little demon, named Cui Cui, was too timid and had set up the trap to protect himself by spreading rumors about a great demon in the bamboo forest. Cui Cui explained that he had once lived with his grandfather here, but his grandfather had since passed away. His true form was a small bamboo shoot, and he never intended to harm Ling Miaomiao.
Upon sensing Mu Sheng’s presence, Cui Cui quickly hid. Ling Miaomiao, seeing Mu Sheng’s imposing figure, quickly stood in front of the little bamboo demon to protect it. Mu Sheng found Ling Miaomiao, but she was a bit angry, especially because Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi were upset about her leaving.
Seeing that Mu Sheng didn’t seem to understand what he had done wrong, Ling Miaomiao deliberately said that she had come here to practice magic and was planning to surprise everyone. Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi stopped being angry, but Mu Sheng was in trouble now. Mu Yao had the inn prepare a special gourd chicken for Ling Miaomiao, and gave her both chicken legs.
Mu Sheng, feeling guilty, helped peel an orange for her, but Ling Miaomiao purposely refused to eat it. She had spent so much time trying to win his favor, but today, even if her favorability dropped to negative, she would not give in! However, surprisingly, Mu Sheng’s favorability went up instead of down. Ling Miaomiao decided to deliberately ignore him, but it only caused his favorability to increase even more.
Liu Fuyi made a protective talisman for Ling Miaomiao, and as she was about to refuse, she noticed that Mu Sheng’s favorability was increasing rapidly. Realizing that she had accidentally triggered this, Ling Miaomiao quickly took the talisman, thanked Liu Fuyi, but her favorability with Mu Sheng still dropped a little.
Liu Fuyi spoke up for Mu Sheng in front of Ling Miaomiao, and when Mu Sheng had gone to rescue her, he seemed unusually anxious, which was the first time Liu Fuyi had seen him like this. Later that evening, Ling Miaomiao brought oranges to Mu Sheng to make peace. But Mu Sheng instead asked her why she hadn’t reported him to Mu Yao. Ling Miaomiao, feeling speechless, explained that she had repaid kindness with kindness.
She leaned forward, asking Mu Sheng not to drive her away again. In response, Mu Sheng crafted a small magical ring for her, and personally placed it on her finger.
