What if he intended for her to not come to his rescue? He seemed so serious when I re-watched their scenes.Why…
He invokes the promise to stop XY from marrying Feng Long.

Chapter 32:
A voice rang out “Auspicious hour is here! First, pray to the Heavens!”
Xiao Yao and Feng Long prayed to the Heavens.
“Second, pray to the ancestors!”
Feng Long’s grandfather, his dad Little Zhu Rong, and his mother all smiled down at them.
Feng Long was about to lead Xiao Yao over to kneel before them when suddenly a clear loud voice sounded that interrupted the proceedings.
“Xiao Yao!”
Everyone turned their heads and saw Fang Feng Bei dressed all in white walking in from outside calling out in a strong voice “Xiao Yao, don’t marry him!”
Xiao Yao stared in a daze at Fang Feng Bei.
Everyone was stunned, no one could believe that a lowly born son of the Fang Feng family would dare interfere with the wedding of the Chi Sui clan leader. Chi Sui Zhen Tian thundered in rage “Guards! Drag this rude bastard away and hold him! Afterwards I’m going to ask Fang Feng Xiao Guai how he raised his son?”
A few Chi Sui clan guards rushed towards Fang Feng Bei to drag him out but they were held back by a powerful barrier and couldn’t even get close to Fang Feng Bei.
Fang Feng Bei acted like no one else was around and walked towards Xiao Yao. As he walked the guards trying to block him all were sent flying to the ground.
Feng Long controlled his rage and said in a threatening way “Fang Feng Bei, there are many honored guests present today and I don’t want to disturb them. I hope you don’t live to regret this!”
Fang Feng Bei ignored him and only stared at Xiao Yao. “Xiao Yao, don’t get married.”
Xiao Yao furiously asked “What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t marry Chi Sui Feng Long!”
“You’re telling me NOW not to marry him?” Xiao Yao wanted to laugh her head off. “You leave immediately!”
Xiao Yao said to Feng Long, “Let’s continue the wedding, I don’t want to miss the auspicious hour!”
Chi Sui Xian led some guards to block Fang Feng Bei’s way and even with Xiang Liu’s power he couldn’t break through immediately.
Feng Long nodded to the wedding coordinator to continue with the wedding “Second bow to the elders——–”
Xiao Yao and the Feng Long faced the three elders and prepared to bow.
Fang Feng Bei was battling Chi Sui Xian and he called out, “Xiao Yao, do you remember the blood oath you swore? If you renege on the promise then everything you love will become pain, everything that brings you happiness will turn bitter.”
Xiao Yao stopped moving. She did make a blood oath with Xiang Liu to do one thing for him.
Feng Long noticed Xiao Yao wasn’t bowing and started to get nervous and called out, “Xiao Yao!”
Xiao Yao slowly turned back around and stared at Fang Feng Bei, “What do you want?”
Fang Feng Bei, “I want you to leave with me right now!”
Xiao Yao’s entire body turned cold, with the entire vast wilderness gathered here, if she ran away from her wedding and especially left with another man, that would be such an insult to the Chi Sui clan and to Feng Long. How would the Chi Sui clan see her? How would the entire world view her?
Xiao Yao asked “Why?” Xiang Liu, you knew two months ago I was getting married, why do you have to do it this way? Do you want the entire world to spit on me? If you want to destroy me, why did you choose this most degrading method?
Fang Feng Bei coldly said, “You don’t need to ask why, you just need to do as I say. I want you to leave with me. Right. Now!”
The blood oath rang in her ears “If I renege on this promise, whatever I love will turn into pain, whatever brings me happiness will turn bitter.” With today’s events, even if she kept the promise, did that mean there won’t be any pain and any bitterness? Xiao Yao bitterly smiled, whether or not she kept the promise, she was going to have not a day of peace in her life.
Feng Long nervously stared at Xiao Yao and he didn’t realize his voice was quivering “Xiao Yao, it’s time to bow!”
Fang Feng Bei stared intently at Xiao Yao and coldly pressed her “Xiao Yao, you owe me this.”
She did owe him! Not just the blood oath, she owed him her life.
Xiao Yao’s face was stark white as she stumbled towards Fang Feng Bei. Feng Long grabbed her hand and his eyes were wide with terror “Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, don’t…..” No matter when, he was someone in control. But right now he didn’t know what was happening. Why was his life filled with utter joy a moment ago and in a split second all the joy vanished?
Xiao Yao’s voice wasn’t loud but everyone present had powers so everyone heard it clearly. It was as shocking as thunder and even the folks who thought they had seen it all couldn’t help but be shocked.
From birth until now, Feng Long was like the son of the Heavens. There was nothing he couldn’t have in the world, only things he didn’t want. As the entire gathered guests stared at him, Feng Long felt his entire world collapse.
Also, which scene did Xiang Liu start to have feelings for her?
I agree, I also think it’s a gradual thing where he falls for her more and more over time rather than falling for her mostly all at once.
I even think the first seeds of feelings are planted with the words that XY says to him in his military tent during their first meeting about being a discarded person with no means of protecting herself, no one to rely on, and nowhere to go. Although XL remains suspicious of her and still has his men whip her when she tests him, he spares her life (even though he knows his enemies have sent spies into his camp and she still refuses to reveal her true identity) and has her "work" for him. And he remembers her exact words over one hundred years later.
Not only does he remember them, he spends a good portion of the next 100+ years (not to mention several lives) making sure that she will have the things that she said she lacked.
Also, which scene did Xiang Liu start to have feelings for her?
There is no single scene that we can point to as the one where he definitely started to have feelings for her. All we know for sure is that he knew XY's bug could not be transferred from CX to just anyone. It had to be transferred to someone who had love for XY in their heart, and he considered himself to be someone who fulfilled that requirement by the time he suggested that she transfer the bug to him.
One reason it's not easy to pinpoint when XL falls for her is that he doesn't immediately start treating her softly after falling for her. He still has moments where he treats her harshly even after we know he's aware of his own feelings for her.
For example, the first time XL suggests transferring the bug to him (from CX) is right after he uses falling into the water to stun XY (and thereby stun CX so that FFYY could attempt to assassinate him).
It's maybe also worth noting that XY and XL knew each other for two years by this point.

Chapter 7:
The white condor flew to the same lake they once came to. Before the condor could descend, Xiang Liu suddenly grabbed Xiao Liu and vaulted off.
Xiao Liu was stunned and could only grab onto Xiang Liu with a tentacled creature grasp. The wind whistled past and Xiang Liu stared coldly “Shall I use you as a cushion?” Xiao Liu violently shook his head with his eyes full of pleading but Xiang Liu didn’t appear moved. They were descending so fast as if they were going to be smashed to smithereens. Right at the moment before impacting the water, Xiang Liu suddenly turned and flipped Xiao Liu on top.
With a giant plop, the two of them entered the water and a giant wave rose up. Even though Xiang Liu absorbed the brunt of the impact, Xiao Liu was still rocked by the waves and his head was spinning and his entire body ached. Because his limbs were in such pain, he couldn’t grab onto Xiang Liu and his body sank into the depths.
Xiang Liu floated in the water staring as Xiao Liu sank towards the bottom of the lake. Xiao Liu tried to reach out but could grab nothing and his eyes were gradually seeing black. Just as he was about to take his last breath, he felt Xiang Liu embrace him and a pair of cold lips pressed to his and passed air to him.
Xiang Liu held him and they rocketed towards the surface like an arrow. Sprawled on Xiang Liu's shoulder, Xiao Liu coughed violently, gasping for air, his nose and eyes filled with water.
After some time, Xiao Liu panted out in a hoarse voice, "If you want to kill me, just do it quickly."
"You only have one head. You can only die once. Dying just once is too easy for you."
Xiang Liu fell backwards and laid on the surface of the water. Xiao Liu's whole body was still aching so he couldn’t move and could only lie on top of Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu pulled Xiao Liu's arm. "Does it hurt?"
"He will be in great pain."
Xiang Liu laughed. “This voodoo bug is decent but not good enough.”
“If it was a life-linked voodoo bug, you wouldn’t even hesitate and would kill me, right?”
“Yup, too bad it just shares pain.” Xiang Liu’s voice shared his regret.
Xiao Liu closed his eyes and felt them rocking on the waves. The water supported everything so there was no need to use any strength and it was quite relaxing.
Xiang Liu asked, “Since he’s so precious to you, why not remove the bug?”
Xiao Liu didn’t answer and thought for a long time. Since he was a demon, and demons and creatures and monsters were all in the same world, perhaps he might know something. “It’s not that I don’t want to remove the bug, it’s that I can’t. Last time I was injured, you used all sorts of weird medicines on me. The bug had some type of transformation. He asked me to remove the bug and I lied that I’ll do it when he leaves. Recently I’ve been trying all sorts of ways to coax the bug out of him but nothing works.”
Xiang Liu thought about it “If you don’t want to die, then don’t try calling it back. The only solution is to find a way to transfer the bug to another person.”
Xiao Liu sincerely said “The only person I want to make miserable is you.”
Xiang Liu softly laughed. “Then put the bug inside me.” Xiao Liu scoffed, “Like you would be so nice.”
For those who have read the novel, or just have better insight: how did Xiang Liu figure out that Xiaoyao is a…
XL knew that XY was a woman from the moment he first met her, because she was able to lure the Fei Fei out with her song.
In the novel, Fei Feis are called Jiu Jius. I'll post some excerpts from the novel below.
XL knowing that XY was a woman from the beginning was one of the reasons XL did not trust her when he questioned her at the military camp. He knows that she is using a false form and identity (at a time when he knows that spies have infiltrated his military camp), and she won't reveal her true form and true identity to him. She only admits that she is not *only* WXL. She tells him why she chose to be WXL and says that she wants to be WXL for the rest of her life.

Chapter 2:
Xiao Liu wanted to catch a Jiu Jiu - a small animal resembling a civet cat. It had a long white tail and could take away a person’s sorrow. It was popular with the nobles and could be sold for a pretty penny. It didn’t have any attack power, but it was very, very clever. It was easy to frighten and quick to run away. So it was very hard to catch. But Xiao Liu had a way of dealing with it. Jiu Jius loved listening to a young woman sing. A Jiu Jiu would be attracted to the young woman’s sorrowful song and its body would inch closer to help the girl forget her sorrows. Xiao Liu found a suitable spot to set the trap.
He jumped into the water to wash off the poop first, then crawled on a rock and sat down. The rock was warmed by the sun and Xiao Liu sat there fixing his hair and singing. The song was carried by the wind. Xiao Liu sang a song about missing someone forever and never being able to forget.
Xiao Liu’s voice was melodic and the song was sorrowful. So the Jiu Jiu was lured out. Initially it was scared, so it hid in the dark. When it sensed no danger, it could not overcome its natural instinct to help people forget sorrow, so it stepped out and started chirping.

Chapter 6:
Xiang Liu raised his head and stared at Xiao Liu, blood staining his lips, his eyes darkened, his breath slightly labored. Xiao Liu was initially sitting sprawled like a man but suddenly he slid down and unconsciously wanted to cover his chest, but he immediately stopped himself and continued to sit sprawled open.
Xiang Liu’s hand moved down from his neck, tracing his jawline, down his clavicle. Xiao Liu grabbed his hand and smiled. “I’m a man. Even if you like men, you should find someone better looking.”
“You’re a man?” Xiang Liu’s slightly blood stained lips curved upward. “If you’re a man, how did you lure the Jiu Jiu out?”
Xiao Liu blinked quizzically, “I don’t believe you can’t change your shape as well as your voice.”
“I trust a beast’s natural instinct.”
“If a beast’s natural instinct was so accurate, your Furball wouldn’t have been poisoned by me. There would be no such thing as traps, and hunters wouldn’t need to hunt.”
“What kind of transformation spell are you using? You have very weak powers but it’s completely seamless just like it’s your true form.”
Xiao Liu angrily said, “This is my true form!”
Xiang Liu stared at him, his eyes as dark as ink, and Xiao Liu’s heart started racing. He violently shook off Xiang Liu’s hand and then spread himself open like a dead pig headed to boiling water. “Touch me then, touch me. After you’re done then stop accusing me of being a woman!”
Xiang Liu glared at him. “I’m not interested in your false form.” He released Xiao Liu, turned and walked out of the pool to go lay on the pallet and continued healing himself.
No seriously. He is captain of destroying his own ship which is the first time I've seen this 😂🤣
Kokuto I'm stumbling upon this little exchange right after seeing nathsketch's post about White Flag and finding it quite funny that the descriptions and emotions today are pretty much exactly the same as the descriptions and emotions a month ago ^^
It’s a reverse harem drama. All four of the main male characters are her love interests, in different ways.
We are not that different in our interpretations of their roles. But a love interest can be a potential romantic partner of a character. Not just the character (or characters) they actually have a romantic relationship with or the person they end up with in the end. In this case, each "suitor" is one, to a degree. 😉
It’s a reverse harem drama. All four of the main male characters are her love interests, in different ways.
She promises to marry three of them. She gets engaged to two of them. In both cases one or two of the others interferes to prevent the wedding from being completed. One whose heart and life is connected to hers ultimately helps her marry one of the others… But saying that seemed too complicated and spoilery.
Has that one actually been deleted? I mean, there's still fanart in the photogallery.I was actually going to do…
"So they actually keep a separate image in the discussion thread"
Yes, exactly. So we could have a sort of shadow version of the photo gallery in a discussion thread if we wanted, and it wouldn't be affected even if the admins purged the photo gallery again.
As a safety measure against losing images because of the admins purging images from the photo section, we could create a new discussion thread just for images if people were up for it.
I shared an image (YaoJing fanart) in the YaoJing discussion thread that was linked back to the version of that image that was uploaded in the photos section by another user. The origianl image added to the photo section seems to have been a victim of the purge, but the linked version I posted in the YaoJing discussion thread wasn't affected.
