Endurance and blood

This episode gives us the backstory of RuMu and his dragon. There are no depths QingTing won’t sink to. He literally used everything but the skull of her mother. He did not have the courtesy or decency to kill her first. Her horns alone were allowed to regrow many times. RuMu did not know this history. He went home to find what he could of her mother because he loved her. When the skull was returned to their nesting place, her last memories were shown and a water core was presented. The dragon used RuMu to cultivate the core but his father betrayed them and used her hatred to make her mind unbalanced with the core’s strength. RuMu saved her from herself, but the core and his meridians were lost in the process. Their story was poignant and beautiful. The scene with the snow when his young self so freely gave his very life to her. 🥰Unlike RuMu’s father, she regretted deeply what she had done and is too ashamed to face him til she makes it right. I think she is looking for the water core so she will have the power to heal him and will not rest til she accomplishes it. The spider spy network sent a message of what has happened in WangQuan manor. There are no good choices tho RuMu is voting to go. He took the time to drink good wine and tell his story so that FuGui could let her know he never hated her. He spent the evening training with his sword writing his sword path. It is more carefree than FuGui’s but it is equally honorable. These two cousins know the most about endurance that bears no grudge or hatred. How these two elite souls came from the WangQuan line? I give credit to the mothers. The heart bell made the dragon realize she loved RuMu back and that has her more determined to carry out her plan of redemption. Quan JingTing is a loathsome bloodthirsty dictator that thinks he owns all as the streets in Eastern City run red with the blood of demon kind. Guess that means his arm and spine need to go. Let’s kill all his demon parts and see what’s left that is actually human.😝The alliance that supports this malevolent coward are even more disgusting than he is. They know it is all a lie and do not care. Their bottom line is worth more than their lives and souls. I think JingTing has managed to surpass RenFeng in being the most vile and hated character of the series now.🤬

Favors and fools

The small fox clone is so sure he has FuGui in the bag for his master that he launches himself at FuGui expecting to feed off hatred. He finds himself tossed and bouncing around like a Pachinko ball because no hatred exists inside FuGui.🤣😂 This amused me. I still smirk thinking about it. While the fox is testing FuGui, QingTong runs into Madam Yin. The spider master learns that old ways no longer hold sway with QingTong and that her 12580 was doing her damndest to blow them both up with her core to keep the master from FuGui. He arrives just in time to slam QingTong’s core back into her and defeat the spider master who is stunned that he was capable of hauling out a divine flame blade with such little spiritual energy left. He refuses to kill her while she moans over her husband’s core and screeching about HongYe’s treachery. Here FuGui knew was incorrect because they record all demons killed. So he looks at the core and points out that it was in suspended animation and he could remove the seal to prove it to her. She spent so much time with her hatred she missed that detail.😝🙄 Here she offers a future favor as a thank you. So when FuGui helps a demon he gets the entire spider spy network owing him. Quan JingTing disrupts a lot, but he is not a great asset to any cause for human or demon. He is despised by both sides. With that mind scrambling talisman he said the blood magic would only spare the creator while EVERY person in there failed to note HE was the one that destroyed it. That poor young priest was demon brainwashed whether by deceit or choice and was driven to suicide before the truth could be told. This fickle YiQi alliance have no problems killing their own and change leadership with little thought. They cave to the strongest and/or richest. HongYe has been set up and his people know it, but instead of killing off that wretched QingTing, he uses the same warped logic with himself as FuGui and sees it as harmful if they kill off each other. Funny he didn’t see that logic with his son and innocent life.😝 I can’t feel sorry about or angry at his betrayal. He keeps the villains close with minimal restraint. I am glad the butler pointed out how little the alliance actually does for the power they want to wield and how FuGui basically took care of the entirety of their demands with no reward in sight. That prophecy is getting closer and they are to blame. Small scenes with RuMu still trying to find his ice dragon and being in bad shape. He is a mess and bragging about soldier backing him when he hears just a bit of what’s been happening with his cousin. They are going to have an interesting conversation when they next meet.

Making wishes

This episode has FuGui and QingTong resting in an unknown village. Their care for each other is quite sweet.🥰 Even the fox messenger is amused at the lack of feeling Quan JingTing displays at his misdeeds. The uncle thinks he is just getting what entitled to and no reason for guilt. HongYe missing his son and wishing him safe doesn’t move me since he is the same parent that whipped him, left him hanging literally for days in the elements, and demanded FuGui kill a woman he loved with an audience. He is so much more like his father than I expected him to be. The evil ones are starting to register on QingTong’s warning webs. She again opts to not say anything.😝 After Peach Village I was hoping not another setup when big bowls of wine passed around. Who knew how much FuGui really takes after his mom. So little time to get divine fire. He is a great legacy for HuaiZhu. He even has her gift of drinking without getting drunk. 😂 All the wishes over glutinous rice balls and lanterns. This has been a nice respite but the fox messenger at the end makes it clear this is the calm before the storm. The actress playing QingTong has such a sweet childlike smile. She is adept at presenting childlike joy that makes us smile along with Fu Gui at her. These two show such sweet affection for each other. It does not seem forced and they work well together. The entire cast did an outstanding job of portraying their characters and making that world come alive. Production is doing well with the fantastical portions. The man to hate this series is Quan JingTing. 😝He does an outstanding job of making you loathe him on sight. I was not expecting HongYe to reside so high on the hate list. He is actually second in line for me. The more I try to sympathize with his character, the more inclined he is to do something tunnel visioned that pisses me off. To have such strong feelings good and bad, this cast rises to the next tier as a whole with no weak link acting to pull you out of the story. I am in the minority that enjoyed both prior installments equally and sequentially rather than order of release. This last installment takes it up a level and continues the story masterfully. 👏🏻

i get why this has so many bad reviews, i don't buy Ramil being ready to sacrifice his life, cause of the time he spent with Punn - which amounted to what a week? a month tops?!??? & they did what together, that was so significant? there were no heart to hearts, no bonding of any kind.... or cause Punn made him food, offered him the sofa to sleep & got himself in dangerous situations where Ramil had to come save his ass - that is the time well spent - worthy of losing his life?!? ************************same with Punn's declaration of love, which was a reach but can be explained away as the summation's of visions he has been having, so he has been developing feelings since forever.... & yet these two r behaving like this not ep 4 but 9 & we nearing the end mark, they been through a lot together & r finally ready to confess or lose it all for the one they love. not the case so this feel's just off.. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& regarding Jeff & the whole reason behind them all starting the 'hunters' group if they all orphans then who did Jeff call father?!? & if Ramil has been trapped in that pic for over a decade then he not the one that went into that orphanage & drained the orphan's. so i don't get why they after Ramil other then he is a vampire. or why Punn was so significant. how they know he would be able to break Ramil's curse?!? *********************************************************************************************btw having learned the reason why Punn is keeping his younger sibling at arms length i still don't like him any better -
