xuehua

I know this sounds kinda mean but tbh it was a lot better when he wears his mask...ever since it was gone I feel the same way as you do 🤣 he's really just an annoying character made to make our blood boil hahaha

ughh we only have the new regulations for c-dramas to blame as 40 eps is now only the max allowed 😭 but come to think of it they could've maxed it out to 40 instead of 34 hahaha

np ❤️ got that right! it's wen zongyu and yeah am hoping for it too am so annoyed every time his face is onscreen 🤣

our old married parents deserves it 🥰! their chemistry is just explosive...you can feel them in all their scenes without even the need for too much intimacy! but got to say they totally nailed it in ep 23 ✨

Well to be fair, these 'useless mofos' weren't actually useless at all to begin with, it seems you forgot that Ying Lei went all out of his way to get the Gui Wood for him which will slow down the effects of Zhou Yichen's body condition from deteriorating while they find a way to fix his cloud sword.

On the other hand, they weren't just merely whining about how sad they are with his condition and doing nothing, they were discussing important informations that would be helpful since the whole situation turned out much worst than they expected. After all, the cloud sword is a powerful weapon and not just some ordinary sword that could be repaired by going to the swordsmith.

If anyone is useless here, it's Li Lun for breaking the five colored stone when his real enemy is Wen Zongyu. So, he is the one you should blame because in the first place none of this would have happened if it weren't for him.

Here is my translation on the recent update from FOF's Official Weibo account post. This contains spoilers as it highlights the events that will be happening on this weeks upcoming episodes. I put them in the spoiler box below!

It's not a confirmation, there was no statement saying Ying Lei will die.
According to the Chinese text on the pics it says:
"Ying Lei is determined to save Bai Jiu"
" ZYZ is willing to make sacrifices for love"

Wen Zongyu's plan actually failed because it affected Zhu Yan in a different way. Yes, he did get hurt from it at one point so we saw him crushing down on the floor because of the ever-burning wood reacting violently inside of him, but instead of it bursting out of Zhu Yan's body as it was being surpressed with his closed 5 senses, it only triggered its powers to awaken once again thus leading to Zhu Yan losing control and going on a rampage again. To the point he had to go to seclusion to prevent himself from going on a killing spree.

If you recall, there was a flashback few eps ago that showed us how Wen Xiao's master decided to give half of the baize token to Zhu Yan and the reason for this is because half of the baize token can serve as a seal to suppress the raging malicious energy inside of him and prevent him from losing control. Wen Xiao kind of did the same thing but instead of transferring half of the baize token to him, she used another method in a way that also seals his evil side or in other words that ever-burning wood. To elaborate further, from what I had understood, the ever-burning wood mixed with Zhu Yan's inner core which is the reason why Wen Zongyu has been wanting Zhu Yan's inner core since the start because what he was looking for is located in there.

Zhu Yan regained all his five senses, the Bazie Token and the sealing of his evil side kind of help him recover it or he recovered it even way before because of his powerful evil form. This is what I have observed and interpreted based on the scene when he finally regained consciousness, he was supposed to lose his sense of touch but we see him feeling Wen Xiao's hands on his cheeks and how he rested his face further to her hands indicating that he feels it.

lol it doesn't make sense at all to be mad about that scene when it was shown how she didn't purposely dropped it herself, the reason why she dropped it is because it was shaking on its own and it was clearly shown how her hands couldn't handle the shaking and like you said li lun already influenced the stone. what is so hard to understand about that scene 👀 it seems some are just simply nitpicking about every single thing she does.

she gets bashed the most on a daily basis, even if she doesn't have anything to do with a scene, her character will always be brought up like some sort of ritual... girlie can't be left to breathe even just for a day without being dragged 🥶

same 🤝! I think it is safe to say ZYZ's knowledge is only partially true, especially about Ying Long. I read a theory before about how their history is actually distorted. Below is the link, but be warned because some of the pics included are kind of a spoiler.

FOR REAL!! and to say it's just a filler 🤧

It seems that some are finding the background story of Lord Bingyi and Bingyi clan draggy, a filler or unnecessary. I completely disagree, imo they are as important as Lord Yinglong's background story, all of these informations we have seen today are essential to the storyline. This drama after all takes inspiration from Chinese Mythology (Classics of mountains and seas), and if you have read some facts written in the classics about Lord Bingyi and Yinglong then you will understand that they have a connection. Without these scenes we wouldn't be able to have full grasp of what the storyline is trying to depict and would be lost in a puzzle.

I don't think so. IMO his character is one of the most important in FOF, after seeing the message that the storyline is trying to deliver. It also seems that his fate and Zhu Yan's fate are both deeply interconnected. We will probably get more of him in latter episodes.

not the last emoji for the last episode being rain 🥲😭💔

I agree. It's exactly because his will to kill ZYZ now have completely disappeared. Also, when ZYZ was explaining about the cloud sword to WX, he stated that it 'empathizes' with its owner or it could also be a sign that the malicious energy or evil ZYZ inside ZYZ is getting even more powerful.

Maybe it just happened that they filmed Neo's scenes as Yinglong and Dudu's scenes as demon wenxiao on the same day because according to chinese mythology, Nuwa is a major goddess not a demon. Although, it would be interesting if that would be the case.

same thoughts after that scene between them haha

Here are the details I have managed to pick up from Episode 24 about Lord Bingyi & Lord Yinglong plus Bingyi Clan. I have also briefly added some explanation about Nuwa, Gonggong and Zhuan Xu

The Cloud Light Sword
- Is created from the bones and soul of Ying Long.
- It is a weapon that can only be awakened when it senses that the Bingyi Clan member using it is the strongest (so Zhou Yichen is extremely strong, considering how his brother is already really strong but still failed to awaken the sword).
- It is a 'fate weapon' which according to Zhu Yan's explanation, the life of the Bingyi Clan member is interconnected with it. So now that it is broken, Zhou Yichen's life is slowly deteriorating.
- The Cloud Light Sword is truly a powerful weapon aside from it being able to kill Ying Long and the key to killing Zhu Yan, it is also the key in separating Li Lun's inner core from Bai Jiu.
- However, Zhu Yan's evil form is currently much more powerful than the cloud light sword as he was able to crack it, therefore, weakening Zhou Yichen's state and being broken by Li Lun.
- Although it is broken, it can also be repaired according to Li Lun.

The Five Colored Stone
- A sacred object of Bingyi Clan which has been passed down to their generations.
- It can be used to repair the Cloud Light Sword and it would also immediately appear whenever it detects that the sword is broken.
- It was an object used by Nuwa to repair the sky and it is currently the last stone left.
- It contains the last blood of Lord Bingyi.

Lord Bing Yi
- A river deity who was worshipped and seen as a god because he killed many demons according to Zhu Yan.
- His true identity is a great demon whose responsibility is also to guard the wilderness like Zhu Yan and Li Lun in the past.
- He used to fight together with Ying Long against Gonggong and Zhuanxu who started the Great War in Mount Buzhou.
- He killed Ying Long who started to cause havoc after the Great War
- After Yinglong's death, he wished to become a mortal and live a reclusive life
- Nuwa recognized Bingyi's great contribution by defeating Ying Long, so she fulfilled his wish and turned him into a human
- Nuwa appreciated Bingyi's powers so she decided to keep it inside the five colored stone to preserve it
- The whole Bingyi clan is said to be human
- Bingyi's demonic blood could kill Zhou Yichen as he doesn't have an inner core which demons are supposed to have, however, the case proves to be different for Zhou Yichen seeing how the last scene turned out, it seems he possesses an inner core. Now on where he got that inner core seems to prove only at one thing, he is the reincarnation of Lord Bingyi.

Nuwa
- known as a mother goddess which is considered as a major goddess as she has the ability to create and repair the sky/heaven/world

Gonggong
- a water god who is known for being destructive and the reason for various cosmic catastrophes

Zhuan Xu
- he is also called as High Brilliance
- he is one of the five emperors

The Great War At Mount Buzhou
- The reason why this war happened is because of the fight between Gonggong and Zhuan Xu
- They were both fighting for the throne of the empire
- Their battle caused the universe to lose its balance
