Sword and Beloved Episode 20

Growing pains

The episode opens with the villagers escaping and returning home. They want their savior to go with them but he has other things to do. Yun Fei is damn cute in both forms. Xue yang shows up to challenge the bandit leader. The leader has learned to use the orb as an artifact and as the battle increases FuGui enhances the spear and the orb is taken from the bandit. Yun Fei is in fox form and swallows the orb. FuGui tries to persuade him to spit it out, but it is long swallowed by his ‘poor puppy’. General Li is impressed with Fu Gui’s skills and invites him to serve in her army. He politely declines saying how he and his dog stick together and aren’t leaving but is interrupted by the human YunFei who is all for joining.😂 His father has sent representatives from the clan to bring the prince home. He complies, but only if his new friend lantern Wang can join him. Fu Gui comments how the designs on the wall are of dragons. The king says after the decline of the dragons his clan achieved the honor to replace them. Everybody is scheming to get YunFei to literally cough up the orb. Fu Gui has paid attention and knows the prince’s life will be in question if they forcefully cut it out of him. He activates YunFei’s demonic power and the want him to teach the prince how to cultivate it. He pretends lack of interest which appeases the sky king who isn’t sure of FuGui’s intentions. So the young prince keeps seeking him out. He wants to impress the lady general. He has the mistaken notion that his chosen teacher can give advice on impressing women.🤣😂 Yun Fei shows up with a gift for the general but she declines. As the fox he tries to act out where they first met but he fails dreadfully and she ices him and throws him towards home.😂 12581 has stepped up to give QingTong cultivation guides. The Fox clone questions this choice, but he is convinced he has things handled. He shows her a memorial for FuGui and even throws in the truth about RuMu and the sword meridians. He persuades her to get stronger first which is inadvertently a good thing for her. She does need to hold her own better to truly avenge FuGui. Disciple Feng talked HongYe into visiting RuMu. He is living as isolated as FuGui used to but is drowning in alcohol when not fighting. Opportunity presents itself to send RuMu to the border. RuMu agrees but wants his father to come along. This will bring him and his father full circle in the desert. I think he is trying to find a way to atone for his father’s deeds so WeiYun can consider him. Waiting to see what the cousins come up with. 12581 tries to pacify QingTong with gifts. What he doesn’t know is lantern Wang made the lantern. QingTong recognizes his handiwork and knows where he is. Big mistake fake spider soldier.😝🙄 He is annoying me less since she knows the truth. Very nice slap administered for his lies but she apologized. He still greatly exaggerates his place in her heart. RuMu and dad are heading back to the desert. Curious if the cousins will work together or separately in dealing with the orb. The irony in this episode is XueYang is looking for the one who saved her in the desert not realizing she has met him. The cute one that isn’t too bright.🤣The players are getting lined up to meet in the desert. I am looking forward to see how they grow together and what fate has in store for them. I am hoping the tragedy of the parents will reap happiness with their children.
