Extended stay

XuanYe runs into the innkeeper practicing with a weapon. He goes to talk to him and is immediately challenged. The fight looked very real and I wasn’t sure if he meant to harm XuanYe or not. They end up having a chat while XuanYe notes his armor and they talk about his time in the military. It is rather a sad story as they were on an outpost that was forgotten when a new empower took over. They were eventually rediscovered but it took 20 years for their post to get recognized. They have literal eyes watching everybody. I am not sure what connection there is between visitors and the dolls the daughter makes. She is very eerie and mentions a brother that ran away. Seems she wants to follow BanXia home. Cats have been seen but nobody has had a conversation with the 9 lives demon yet. BanXia runs into her cousin. Qiu was last seen in the woods with his demon wife. It isn’t clear how this was possible but this is what he thinks is happening. XuanYe has questioned the innkeeper if he has seen any demons and he acted odd. He did not freak out at the moon bug, so he passed the not demon test. Demon or not this entire place seems to be “other”. One of the constables got attacked by someone when they were heading back with the body. This whole arc is creepy and weird and interesting. It is funny that Rabbit thinks our couple was kissing🤣 in his defense it sure looked like it. I am surprised they are not putting forth more effort to find the cat they want to talk to and get away from the inn. It is not seeming a high enough priority. But maybe their senses are being numbed the longer they stay.

One Stars

the cinematography & landscape shots r really really pretty. but the subs being ant size & changing at a rapid pace is making it hard to understand what is going on, as worried if i missed something important. *************************************************the fact the siblings r like oil & water - welcome to the sibling experience, even when there isn't a huge age gap, the older sibling thinks their younger sibling is a baby & they to old to hag out with babies. they suffer them at best when they need to & they will be there if someone is bullying them, but more then that is asking too much. ******************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************in comes the older brothers bff that doesn't see the younger sibling like an annoying child that's stuck to his older sibling. but as an individual he is attracted to. otherwise he would've have brought up his name when looking for addition help at the camp. cute 1st ep but very short.

Reunion inn

They begin their adventure to reunion inn after receiving a box with the 9 lives demon money. BanXia finds the pouch she embroidered for her father so now there is conclusive evidence that he is still alive. The constable is also traveling and they find the drunkard actually decade from what they think is a lynx encounter. They are taking the body back to his parents. The woods the trio is traveling through is misty and mysterious. They are not sure if on the right path or traveling in circles. They eventually find their way to the inn but the innkeeper strongly encourages them to go elsewhere. His daughter changes everybody’s minds about staying, but there is a very weird atmosphere in spite of the helpful servants. After a scare in the hotspring everyone tries to settle down for the night. XuanYe hears BanXia reciting the poem and kindly offers to watch over her til she falls asleep. The innkeeper’s daughter is ill and I am surprised the good doctor did not examine and offer medicine. XuanYe found the cat and followed but was interrupted by the innkeeper and directed back to his room. I wonder why all the calming oil is being burned. What don’t they want the customers seeing? In spite of the weirdness there is a softer and sweeter tone between our couple. The actors do well making themselves eerie and the production has the scene nice and creepy.

9 lives immortal

A very sweet, tho messy scene of BanXia dying XuanYe’s hair. He is truly a patient man.😂 Rumors are floating around that the drunkard was still alive and the constable went to investigate. BanXia and XuanYe are trying to find out what the white crow means. It is the companion of the mirror demon so when he passed she was cursed with it. The fake demon hunter had an unfortunate mishap so they have decided to stay with first choice demon hunter. Their friend showed up with a crow so everybody was nervous for him. They see him get flattened by a sign and right when they are done with funeral arrangements he shows up in the room and the body has disappeared. They are happy for their friend but it is weird what’s been happening. BanXia manages to chat with the cat and makes a request about her father. The cat runs off without giving her a response but at least the question has been asked. Maybe they will finally get some news. BanXia is starting to believe the hunter is her dream friend Manying. The maid is not sure whether to believe her or not but they can’t rule it out. XuanYe has been keeping an eye on a sword he is not enthused with using. It is almost making an appearance and he continues to monitor it.

Sides are chosen

I missed how Zhuo got tiger tally. His attempted coup failed but he still has Li as shield. Censor had to be a royal pain in the arse but he at least got to hear the truth about his mentor. He was so close to getting what he wanted but he could not accept another’s timetable. I am glad Pei has made a stand for backing Emperor. His fighting skills were awesome. That battle was nicely choreographed. Zhuo has no honor and seems to pride himself on that. The Emperor has the evidence she needs but it came at great cost. I liked the shooting star send off and the vow she made to Censor. Again another action packed episode. Now to find out to what extent Zhuo’s sneaky attack injured Pei.
