Episode 1 & 2

Love it!  I have just seen the first two episodes which were already subbed in English at Viki.  Apparently 2 episodes will be released from Monday to Wednesday.

I love Chao Yue.  She is so lovely.  Her acting is also really good.  I first really noticed her as Hao Tian in Ever NIght 2.  I am afraid she was so good in it, she eclipsed Song Yiren in it.

Anyway, in the first episode, there was a battle between humans, cultivators, and demons.  It was quickly settled by the grandmaster cultivator, Mu Jiu Zhou.  He was on his way towards immortality when an accident happened and he just disappeared.

Though he was human, Mu Jiu Zhou is special.  He has the blood of the Pheonix.

Thirty years later, a little girl was born.  And like Mu Jiu Zhou, she had the blood of the phoenix.

As she grows older she showed a talent for cultivation.  What people did not know was that she found the jade ring of the MIA (Missing in Action) Mu Jiu Zhou, who appeared to the girl, the girl was Feng Wu of Junwu District (whatever, lol)

Mu Jiu Zhou, who was only visible to Feng Wu told her that he will take her as his disciple but she must not tell anyone.

Feng Wu’s cultivation improved exponentially as she became a celebrity. A gorgeous girl who is also a genius cultivator.

Even before puberty, young boys were already proposing marriage to her including Jun Linyuan and Feng Xun.

The young Feng Wu said that she will marry the one who eats the pretty pill, which the children were not aware of was a an allergy to love pill (or something like that)

Poor Feng Wu got into trouble because Jin Linyuan was the prince (later crown prince) of Junwu District.  Feeling a sense of guilt Feng Wu told her mother that she would marry Linyuan.

Feng Wu was having it all.  She was engaged to Linyuan, she is learning cultivation really fast and she was so fair and lovely.  Not everyone was happy for her.

One day she was ambushed by another cultivator, Zuo Qing Luan, who was jealous of her.  They fought in the sky which Zuo Qing Luan won by stabbing her and taking the blood of the phoenix off Feng Wu.

Overnight, she became a personal non-grata with her family.  Without her blood of the phoenix and cultivation as well as her memory, she was no longer the star of the family.  She, her maid, and mother were cast out into the border without anything.

Suddenly Feng Wu had to rely on herself to clothe and feed her mother and maid.

She had learned about medicine with an elder in the village, who told her that she could get back her cultivation if she can find the one final and most important ingredient to the medicine that would bring her back to her old self.

Episode 3

Because she wanted to appear really ordinary, Feng Yue darkened her skin and wore rags.  She then tagged along with the cultivators to go into the mountain to find flower that only blooms every 50 years and therefore much sought after.

Because of her dark appearance and blackheads, the guys called her ugly girl.  She is not really ugly because Jun Lin Yuan was attracted to her.

Jun Lin Yuan became the protector of Feng Wu.  He can’t believe that he might be falling for her.  His heart starts beating excruciatingly hard when she is very near to him or when he feels that she was in danger.

Feng Yu help out Ming Ye of the Darknight Courtyard who has tied on a rope upside down by Lin Yuan.

Ming Yue just saw her running away when he became conscious.  He thought she was a fairy.

Meanwhile back at her house, her spoilt nasty brother and nastier sister came to stay.

The jade ring tied to a necklace around Feng Wu’s neck allowed her to visit Mu Jiu Zhou in a dream.  She found out that he had been in a coma for three years because he used his energy to save her.

The blue phoenix had told her that she muse get the fruit at all cost.  The blue phoenix is actually the Fire Bird which has been protecting the celestial flower and had been waiting for Feng Wu to claim it.

Episode 4

The loveless insect infecting Lin Yuan is activated everytime he gets intimate or can feel that Feng Wu was in danger.

Poor Lin Yuan really suffers from love attack.  LOL

Episode 9

A fat-rich kid wanted to marry Feng Wu.  So secretly Feng Yiren set up a blind date between the family of the fat kid and Feng Wu.

But before they could discuss the marriage, Lin Yuan appeared and berated Feng Yiren from trying to marry off his fiancee, Feng Wu, his Spiritual Princess.

The father of the fat boy was all scared and said he did not know that Feng Wu was the Crown Prince’s fiancee.

But this debacle did not end here.

Feng Liu and Feng Yiren plotted to have the fat kid molest Feng Wu in bed.

Feng Lie cajoled Feng Wu into drinking a drugged tea.

When Feng Wu was in bed, the fat kid came ushered by Feng Yiren.

Fortunately, Feng Wu woke up though still woozy.  She managed to stop the fat boy from molesting her.  A rather drunk Lin Yuan threw the fat boy out of the room.

Lin Yuan held the trembling Feng Wu and comforted her. He asked if she wanted to go to the Capital.

Feng Wu declined to go back to the Capital as she was quite happy in the Border City.

Episode 10

Lin Yuan woke up in bed with Feng Wu.  Immediately he told her that they will be getting married immediately.  He was going to look after and will take responsibility for her.

Feng Wu told him to forget it. Just pretend nothing happened. She does not plan to get married and will not be moving to the Capital.

The next thing Feng Wu knew was that her mother had been taken by Lin Yuan to the Capital.

Lin Yuan knew that this was the only that Feng Wu would venture back to the Capital and it worked too.

Feng Wu with her maid Qiu Ling travelled with Feng Yiren and Feng Liu.  Along the way they stopped at a post in to rest.

They noticed immediately the lack of activity and manpower at the inn.

Though they met a couple of noble ladies going to the nearby temple.  They were Madam Yan and Madam Ning.

Madam Yan was pregnant and suddenly had a contraction.

Feng Wu took over looking after Madam Yan.  The labour was interrupted by the presence of a Senior Rank Demonic Beast.

Feng Liu and Feng Yiren and the guards were shaken like rag dolls.

Feng Wu with her newly acquired cultivation did not fare much better.

It was a good thing that Lin Yuan appeared when he felt that Feng Wu was in trouble.

Between them, they vanquished the beast and its green spirit orb was sucked into Lin Yuan.  Apparently this green spirit orb or Wanyou Fire is very precious. The coloured phoenix told Feng Wu that she must get it from Lin Yuan.

Meanwhile, Ming Ye was in the Capital and noticed that Lord Demon, his boss, went into the palace to meet the hidden big boss.

The hidden big boss was the queen who was trying to recruit Zing Yuan into the dark side.

I love this drama so much.

Episode 11

To get the Wanyou Fire, Feng Wu must kiss it off Lin Yuan.

The Wanyou Fire inside Lin Yuan gave him extra spirit and energy which combat the effect of the loveless insect venom. He doesn’t go into an almost dead faint every time he was near Feng Yu.

Lin Yuan though was concerned that Feng Wu from being not interested in him had turned into an aggressive flirt.  She chases him around, every time and everywhere he goes to get a kiss from.

Finally, Lin Yuan confronted her with what changed her mind.  She told him that Master Ba had told her that to increased her stamina for cultivation she needed the Wanyou Fire.

Lin Yuan pulled her to him and kissed her for the longest time. Even the coloured phoenix, her spirit animal, complained that the kiss was taking so long when she had enough of the Wanyou Fire.

Finally, they reached the Capital.

Feng Wu was summoned by the Feng matriarch.  Feng Wu was told that she should surrender the phoenix sword because she does not deserved it being lacking in cultivation as well as being a female.

Feng Wu put the sword on the table and invited the matriarch to take it.  The Martriach ordered her senior maid to take it but the sword would not move no matter how much the maid prised it off the table.

Feng Wu explained that the sword chose her.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan paid respect to the king and queen.

The queen started saying that it was time to settle down and get married. She knew a most suitable girl for him.

Lin Yuan said the had already a girl in mind.

Feng Wu met her old friend the fat girl, Zhao Ge.

Episode12

Feng Wu felt so sorry for Zhao Ge for being so fat and ungainly.  Plus the fact that Zhao Ge eats like a horse and the cost of living is escalating exponentially.

Feng Wu heard that there is a pistil that would make Zhao Ge her normal thin self and that it can be obtained at the very dangerous and mystical Peerless Tower.

Nobody had ever past the final barrier.  But there was one who almost got into the finals but did not pass it.  Instead, the man turned fat but as rich as Croesus.  He spent his time in debauchery.

Lin Yuan advised Feng Wu not to even think about going to the Peerless Tower, instead he wanted to know if she agrees in his plan to build a lovely house for her and her mother and maid by a lovely lot overlooking a pond.  He said that he knows she and her mother were not welcome at the Feng Mansion

Feng Wu, however, was not in the right frame of mind to be talking real estate.  She wanted the pistil for Zhao Ge who had gone fat because she ate the fattening cookie which was meant for Feng Wu three years ago.

Ming Ye though who found her loitering in the market supported her plan to go into the Peerless Tower and was quite helpful with plots and plans.

With her mother and Qiu Ling sending her off, lady in red, Feng Wu entered the tower.

First, she had to battle it with the musician poet who gave her riddles.  She passed.

Second, she battled with the man with the most excellent auditory skill.  She used a pipe bird made for her by Ming Ye which emits more than 120 decibels, enough to give anyone earache. So she passed.

Third, she battled it out with the handsome Shadow Swordsman.  She appealed to his lonely heart which worked as he became distracted when he started thinking about his daughter.  He was then grateful that Feng Wu did not finish him off though she could have.

The final barrier was with the creator of the Peerless tower.  He brought out a big chest full of gems and treasures and told her to bugger off.  He said that he will not allow anyone to pass the final barrier because the tower would then lose its mystic.

Episode 13

The creator of the Peerless Tower was sneaky.  And ordered that Feng Wu should be killed if she does not live on her own accord.

The creator did not take into account that Jun Lin Yuan protects Feng Wu at whatever cost and he did protect her.

The creator was defeated but magnanimous in the end.  He gave her the Heavenly Heart Pistil as well as a bonus gift of a limited edition, actually the only copy of the Qinglingsan Score.

She gave the pistil t Zhao Ge to get herself thin.  Strangely when Zhao Ge was thin, she also seemed to be more ‘with it’; more intelligent.  Funny that!!! Fatness makes you dumb?!!! LOL

Anyway, Feng Wu cutely apologised to Jun Lin Yuan.  He did not stand a chance. She was just too cute not to be forgiven instantly.

Poor Yu Mingye watched them hugging as he ached more from one-side love rather than from the bleeding wound sustained from trying to steal the Water Sky Vase from the Yan Manor. 🙂

The next day, he went to visit Feng Wu.  He was so happy because she gave him the Qinghingsan Score.  He said that it was his birthday and he had never celebrated it. He asked her if she could celebrate his birthday with her every year?

Feng Wu could not answer but she was saved by her maid.  Feng Wu was pulled to the other dimension where her Shifu was.  The Blue Phoenix told her that Ming Ye seemed to have the essence of the Star Shard.

The Star Shard in currently comes in three pieces of worldly essence.  Feng Wu had to collect these pieces to wake Shifu.

Anyway, Jun Lin Yuan was with Xuan Li and Feng Xun.  They were discussing why would Ming Ye be interested with the Water Sky Vase?

Jun Lin Yuan said it has something to do with Wu Youda.

Who is Wu Youda (LOL).  The demon lord of Darknight Court was just explaining to MingYe why they needed the vase.  They wanted to gift it to Wu Youda, the ageless child.

Apparently Wu Youda is an expert cultivator who was self-taught.  He was currently travelling the world but will soon to return to become the supervisor of Junwu Academy.

The demon lord wanted to bribe Youda with the vase so he moves to the dark side.

It was a celebration at the Yan Manor where the young heir is introduced to the other nobles.

Mingye as at the ready to steal the vase but he noticed that he was not alone.  Feng Wu was there.  They agreed to work together.

And Jun Lin Yuan was also there and he found the jade seal of Feng Wu near the face Water Sky Vase.  He learned from Lord Han that the thief might be trapped in the basement where the real vase is kept hidden.

Episode 14

Jun Lin Yuan convinced Lord Han to allow him to check the basement alone.

There he found both Feng Wu and Mingye looking at the vase.

Mingye pretended to use Feng Wu as a hostage but Jun Lin Yuan said he heard everything they were talking about and knows that they are friends.

Linyuan told Mingye that he had to have a pretend fight as people above are listening. He then opened the secret door to let Mingye escaped.

He then told Feng Wu that he was very disappointed that she doesn’t come to him when she needed anything.

She apologised to him sweetly.

Linyuan asked her if she wanted the vase as well.  She admitted that she does but she could not tell him the reason yet.

He then let her out.

Linyuan tried to buy the vase by Lord Han, the Spiritual master but he refused to sell it.

Linyuan found Feng Wu at the ‘meet Baby Han’ party.  He told Feng Wu that Lord Han refused to sell the vase.  Probably the only way was to ask Lady Han.

Linyuan told Feng Wu that Lord and Lady Han was currently having a bit of domestic.  They used to be a very loving couple until the arrival of Lady Xu, the new concubine, who created a lot of trouble between the couple, including quietly spreading rumours that the baby was not Lord Han’s.

Apparently it was a generational tradition for firstborn Hans to manifest their spiritual energy almost as soon as they are born.  But Baby Han has been a month old and yet had not shown his spiritual energy, thus giving weight that he might not Lord Han’s baby.

Qingluan asked Feng Wu what was she talking about with Linyuan with such concentration.

Feng Wu mentioned the chakras and she said that with the help of Prince Jun Linyuan, they can force out the dormant spiritual energy of Baby Han.  She said that it would not hurt the baby.

Lord Han was all against it but Lady Han was all for it.

In the middle of everyone, the energies emanating from both Linyuan and Feng Wu, a lotus spiritual energy started to form from the baby.

Feng Wu said that they all so the lotus and that should stop any gossip from ignorant people, with a side look at the Concubine Xu.

Lord and Lady Han were so grateful, they gave the vase to Linyuan.

Feng Wu said that they should have given the vase to her but Linyuan said that without his info she would have not known what was going on.

He also said that she gave Mingye a gift but she completely ignored him and his birthday as the same day as Mingye.

Feng Wu was a little upset that she did not celebrate his birthday and did not prepare a present for him.

But he said that the gift he wanted is for her to take and pass the Junwu Academy exam with him.

Feng Wu said that she does not have any ambition to enter the academy.

Belatedly Feng Wu prepared a birthday cake for Lingyuan, who said that he does not celebrate his birthday because his mother soon after he was born.

Meanwhile, the Empress is busy grooming Qingluan to become the Spiritual Princess to Linyuan.

Feng Wu gave Linyuan a flipbook which shows images of his ‘mother’ but he said that he was not still going to give her the vase, not until she passes the entrance exam to Junwu Academy.

Episode 15

Episode 16

Episode 17

The second part of the Spiritual energy that would wake her Shifu was within the Junwu Academy and most likely in the library.

Episode 18

Feng Wu was given the key to the library by Supervisor Wu but warned her not to go to the second floor which is absolutely forbidden.  He also told her that her romance with Linyuan will be treacherous and long winding because they belong to a different timeline.  He is he and she was not her.  This is a reference that she is a time traveller.

Being consumed by her passion and mission to locate the second spiritual energy, she devoted most of her time in the library and also decided to forego the chance to compete in the birthday contest for the empress.  The winner will be able to showcase their abilities, skills and talents during the Empress’ birthday celebration party.

Episode 19

Zhao Ge was bullied again by the minions of Celestial Palace.  This finally convinced Feng Wu to join in the contest afterall.

But she had to defeat Qingluan to win.

Qingluan is the best fighter of Celestial Palace so Lin Yuan trained her and gave her the secret move of the Junwu sect.

She was more or less ready during the day of the contest which was pretty impressive.

Qingluan and Feng Wu were a good match until Qingluan produced her piece de resistance, the Ice Bird, which almost froze Feng Wu from feet to head but her own Phoenix fire bird went flying out and defrosted the ice bird.

During the fight, the blue phoenix told Feng Wu that Qingluan has got Feng Wu’s missing phoenix blood.

Feng Wu won the contest but she announced that Qingluan was the one who stole her phoenix blood, which is now contained within Qingluan’s jade bracelet.

Their argument was interrupted by the arrival of the holy queen who said that Qingluan can’t be the thief was she gave the bracelet to Qingluan.

The queen asked if Feng Wu was saying the queen stole the blood?

Anyway, Feng Wu can’t really argue with the queen but when she was home she was disappointed with Zhao Ge, Linyuan, Xuan Yi and Feng Xun that they seemed not to believe her that Qingluan stole her blood.

Only Mingye stood for her.

Anyway, outside, Linyuan said that he believes Feng Wu but his hands are tied so he needed Xuan Yi and Feng Xun to investigate for him.

It was finally the birthday celebration.

Feng Wu and Linyuan were magnificent in their tandem sword dance.  Feng Wu had a slight misstep because the phoenix blood was calling for her.

After their dance, the holy queen told the king that it was about time to choose a spiritual queen for the Linyuan and who better than Qingluan, who is the best cultivator in the empire.

Before the king could agree and announce it, Linyuan interrupted the king and said that he had already chosen the girl he loves and that was Feng Wu.

The queen said that Feng Wu should her excellence during the dance so it would be easy for her to find a good husband.  Lingyuan needn’t feel anymore sense of responsibility for the girl he was once engaged to.

Lingyuan declared that he really love Feng Wu.

The king got so irate he threw a fruit towards Lingyuan and Feng Wu.    Lingyuan dropped his beloved flip book given to her by Feng Wu.

The king was intrigued by the book so we went down his podium and pick the book up and saw that it was about a son and mother.  He remembered his beloved first queen, the mother of Lingyuan.

Suddenly the king became affable and declared that he will grant a marriage between Lingyuan and Feng Wu once Feng Wu retrieved her phoenix blood.

Lingyuan was so happy but not the queen, Qingluan and the leader of the celestial palace.

Episode 20

Zhao Ge was missing Qingluan but she saw that she was asked to see the holy queen.

The holy queen observed that Qingluan was wallowing in self-pity and seemed much more overwhelmed in treating her misfortunate in life compared to the more unfortunate Feng Wu.

Qingluan said she was frustrated that things are taken away from her.

The queen said that nothing is permanent; everything can be taken away from you if you let it.

The queen asked if Qingluan loves Linyuan?

Qingluan said that she loves the power that Linyuan could give her.

Qingluan practised a rather impressive and noisy martial arts in the forest.  MIngyu told her that she was so loud.  Again, he warned her that she could do whatever scheme she has under her sleeves but if she hurts Feng Wu, Mingye will kill Qingluan himself.

Meanwhile, Mingye was investigating.

Feng Wu was called by the Blue Pheonix again and was told that the second Star shard will appear soon and it would be within the academy.  It will be a tumultuous time so be alert.

It was the Chinese Valentine’s Day and the girls at the academy are getting into a tizz to get a date, especially Zhao Ge who wanted Xuan Yi to take her.  She wrote him a love letter which unfortunately received by Feng Xun.  So the three ended up on a date.

Poor Linyuan was a bit upset as he had not received a love letter from Feng Wu had seemed to be indifferent to him lately.

The king started to practise cultivation again but his lack of energy made him collapse.  The doctor told Linyuan in secret that he believed that the king was poisoned.  Their top-secret conversation was overheard by Qingluan.

Lingyuan kept a vigil at the king’s side.  The holy queen said that Qingluan could take turn in looking after the king but Lingyuan turned down the offer.

Episode 21

As she has not got a date, Feng Wu went to the library. She wanted to see Old Man Wu but found Dean Ding dead instead.

Before she knew it she was arrested and found guilty of the murder of Dean Ding.

But Mingye was there and decided to collaborate with Lingyuan to save Feng Wu.

They found out that it was Master Wu who killed Dean Ding.

Apparently it was payback time because the position of dean in the university should have been given to Master Mu but Dean Ding stole the appointment letter for himself.

Then he emotionally blackmailed Master Wu saying that he had a better family background and therefore ore influential and can guarantee that their beloved Yanning could be appointed as the first female teacher of Junwu Academy.

But then what happened was Yanning was killed in a fire instead.

Master Wu asked that Feng Wu must be brought to him.

Episode 22

Master Wu  allowed Linyuan to accompany Feng Wu to see him.

He then told Feng Wu that he knew all along that she is the disciple of Master Mu, the founder of Junwu Academy. He then locked them to safety while he swallowed a black pill that would make him extra powerful but would in the end burst all his vessels and kill him.

To revenge Yanning he hoped to destroy Junwu academy.

Everyone tried to stop him but he was so powerful.

Fortunately Feng Wu and Linyuan managed to navigate out of the underground dungeon and gave the letter Yanning left Master Wu.

Master Wu was dying but at peace because he heard what Yanning wanted to say. But before he died he whispered to Feng Wu where the star shard was hidden.

Episode 24

Qingluan told Zhao Ge that Feng Wu is not what she seemed and asked Zhao Ge to do her favour after Zhao Ge revealed about the ring that Feng Wu constantly wears.

Qingluan told Zhao Ge to steal the necklace and bring it to the mountain where a witch lives.  The witch will tell whether there is something wrong with Feng Wu.

For some reason, Zhao Ge immediately complied with what Qingluan told her to do.  Nevermind that Feng Wu looked after her and treated her more than a sister.  Feng Wu went for death defying tower just for her.  She forgot all this because she wanted to please Qingluan.

If you have a friend like Zhao Ge, who needs enemies?!!!

In the mountain, she got so scared  but she was cared for by a She Wolf.

The King was betrayed by his holy queen.

Episode 25

The holy queen deposed the king and she is now sitting at the throne.

The She-wolf was taken by the soldiers led by Qinglun.

The holy queen called a meeting with Linyuan and tried to justified her hatred towards Master Ma.

She said that she had a crush on Master Ma who rejected her because he wanted to purify his cultivation towards immortality.  So during the last phase of his cultivation, she destroyed him.

She told Linyuan that he could still be the one to inherit the throne but Linyuan said, no thanks as he doesn’t want to be a puppet king.

Episode 26

Mingyue loves Fung Wu selflessly and wholeheartedly.

He went against his demonic father to save Feng Wu from being roasted by the Five Elements of Lightning.

But alas, Mingyue was not powerful enough, though tried his very best which Feng Wu saw.

She begged him to stop and not himself and leave her to her fate.

But her fate was not over yet because Lingyuan turned up with his mighty Junwu sword that can absorb much of the lightning.

Mingyue was cast out by his father, he does not belong to demonic courtyard anymore.  He was all alone in the world.

Meanwhile, Qingluan was completely taken over by her greed for power and influence of the demonic cult.

When Mu Yao found out about her affiliation with the demonic courtyard she said that she was going to report it to Celestial palace to help reprogram Qingluan.

Qingluan stabbed Mu Yao instead.

The She-wolf got away from her tether but she was hounded by the academy students. Feng Wu said that the She-wolf was just a being like them but they hounded it so she fought back.  But the academy student said that if Fung Wu is one of them and not an alien being or a monster like the she-wolf then she must kill it.

The She wolf told Feng Wu to do it because it was her fate. Master Mu said that she had only 20 years to live until she must face up to her fate.  She sadly looked at her two dead cubs.

Feng Wu stabbed the wolf and the student believed that she was one of them.

Upon the death of the wolf, the remaining star shard dropped into her hand.

Episode 27

Zhao Ge is the most annoying, airhead, ungrateful character in this drama.  Why not just kill her?

She found out that Feng Wu is not the Feng Wu who is her childhood friend.

Qingluan threw the phoenix ring into the illusion mirror.  Feng Wu went inside the mirror, followed by a worried Linyuan and a dementedly vengeful Qingluan.

Inside the mirror, they had to confront their deepest darkest secrets and longing.

Feng Wu saw her father and her whole family and they were having an idyllic time but somehow she felt unreal and heard the voice of Linyuan calling her.  She came out of her illusion.

Linyuan saw his mother, who told him that she is back in his life but Linyuan said that she was dead but she had never left him; she was in his heart and his head.  He, therefore, conquered his illusion.

Then Feng Wu and Qingluan reenacted their earlier fight where Qingluan ended up with the phoenix blood but this time she was not able to kill Feng Wu as Linyuan took the full force of her sword.  Seeing that Linyuan was injured, Feng Wu sent her flaming sword to Qingluan’s heart.

Then they all fell back to reality, where Qingluan died in the loving arms of Zhao Ge.

Meanwhile, the mirror burst and in walked out Master Mu Jishou.

Episode 28

Feng Wu was having a reality check. She is not Feng Wu and yet she is Feng Wu and her nearest and dearest are having a hard time accepting it.

But Linyuan said he loved her whoever she is.

Episode 29

Linyuan died, killed by the Demon King.

Episode 30

Huh?!!!

What a stupid ending!  What was the writer thinking about?

Linyuan was not dead after all and Mingyue came back to save him from prison.  He said that he’d rather see a happy Feng Wu living a good life with LIngyuan than a grieving girl.  Ohhh that is unconditional love!

But Linyuan was far from healthy and could hardly walk.

Seeing that the municipality was in chaos, Master Mu Jiashu transferred his spirit energy to Linyuan.

Mingyue gave the bracelet back to Feng Wu containing the phoenix blood.

She was imbibing the blood, which took a bit of time.  She was supported by Xian Yi and Zhao Ge, who uses her red bean energy, which is megawatts but it would mean the end of her.  Xian Yi sacrificed himself too and said he will go wherever  Zhao Ge goes.

Then Feng Wu with fully installed phoenix blood went all badass and surprised the demonic leader and would have finished him off if Mingye did not stop her.

But a newly invigorated Linyuan came through the door and straight to the demonic leader who just had time to say that Linyuan had Mu Jishou’s energy before he fell down on the ground.

The demonic leader is dead.

The holy queen is dead.  She killed herself as she wanted to be with the demonic leader in the afterlife.

Now, after a few months, it was the wedding of the century.

Linyuan was in his horse dressed in his red groom outfit heading towards the bride’s house.

Both Zhao Ge and Xuan Yi are alive as they were brought back to life by Master `Mu.  XuanYi now considers himself as family to Feng Wu as he owes his life to Feng Wu’s master.

Feng Wu was waiting alone in her room for her groom when there was some sort of spectre running around in her room.

She followed it outside in the empty courtyard.  She was looking and looking when she got a tap on the shoulder.

It was her master, Mu Jiashou who told her that it was time to bring her back where she comes from.

That was the end.  How frustrating is that?!!!

Will Linyuan find her lifeless body with her spirit gone or will she vanish and poor Lingyuan will spend his life looking for her?!!!

Nooooooooooooooo
