Episode 13 recap: Nan Yan and Ji Yang Confess Their Feelings
In Episode 13, the group arrived at the edge of the treacherous dark river. Considering the danger of the inland waterway, they discussed ways to solve the problem. Nan Yan noticed the towering trees around them and suggested that they chop down trees to make small boats. To be prepared, she provided everyone with five-poison lingzhi grass, which could ensure protection from any toxins.
Since one tree could not accommodate four people, Nan Yan and Ji Yang decided to board the boat first. As for Yin Ya and Mu Zhan Ting, they had to find another solution.
On the boat, Nan Yan became curious about how Ji Yang found her. Ji Yang then revealed the existence of the Spiritual Resonance Seal. At that moment, Nan Yan accidentally fell into Ji Yang's embrace, and the two found themselves in an intimate, awkward situation. Meanwhile, Yin Ya and Mu Zhan Ting, despite their mutual dislike, had to cooperate to build their own small boat.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in red silently appeared behind them. At first, Yin Ya and Mu Zhan Ting thought she was playing a trick on them, but they soon realized they were in grave danger as the woman, a vengeful ghost, bound them with vines.
Nan Yan felt embarrassed, realizing that Ji Yang had overheard her speaking ill of him earlier. Ji Yang explained that Nan Rao must have given him the Spiritual Resonance Seal, knowing her time was running short, in hopes of finding someone to entrust Nan Yan to. At that moment, a voice that sounded like Nan Rao's was heard, and she bound Nan Yan and Ji Yang.
The vengeful ghost said they had taken the Fate Wood belonging to her and her sister, and they must remain there until the fated ones arrived. Nan Yan, mesmerized by the ghost's voice, began chanting the poem of the Fate Wood. To stop her, Ji Yang impulsively kissed Nan Yan.
As Nan Yan gradually regained her senses, she discovered the Spiritual Resonance Seal glowing on her palm and could hear Ji Yang's thoughts. Their gaze was filled with affection. The vengeful ghost, mistaking Yin Ya and Mu Zhan Ting for the fated pair, bound them with a contract, condemning them to be husband and wife in the next life, much to their anguish.
Fortunately, everyone made it safely ashore and went their separate ways. Nan Yan and Mu Zhan Ting searched for the frost blood golden branch, while Ji Yang and Yin Ya went to find the Seven Floating Craft Book. They agreed to meet alive outside the Filthy Valley in the end. Yin Ya specifically reminded Ji Yang that once inside the inner circle, life and death would be but a moment, and his affections would only hinder his sword drawing speed, yet he directly drew his sword in response, saying his speed was not a problem.
On the other side, Mu Guang Han and the others waited outside the valley. Meng Zhi Guang hurriedly arrived and proactively explained to the Dragon King that Mu Zhan Ting was determined to come to the Revered Moon Sect, and he could not stop him even if he tried. Seeing Mu Zhan Ting's handwritten promise, Mu Guang Han no longer pursued Meng Zhi Guang's responsibility for taking Mu Zhan Ting as a disciple.
Meanwhile, Nan Yan followed Mu Zhan Ting deeper into the forest, and it grew increasingly cold. Mu Zhan Ting tried to use fire to warm Nan Yan, but for some reason, he could not summon spiritual power and had to give up. Along the way, a spirit beast that resembled a sika deer and emitted seven-colored light attacked the two. Nan Yan was inadvertently injured by the spirit beast, but as soon as it smelled Nan Yan's blood, it bowed down to her.
Mu Zhan Ting carefully observed the spirit beast and confirmed it was the legendary divine beast Fuzhou. Seeing Fuzhou so close to Nan Yan, not only healing her wound but also gifting her the frost blood golden branch, left him greatly astonished. Nan Yan was overjoyed and immediately refined the Five Poison Nourishing Heart Pill, unable to hold back her tears of joy.
As Nan Yan's tears fell on the medicinal pill, a gust of wind came, and Mu Zhan Ting heard voices nearby. He quickly hid with Nan Yan and found they were people from the Dao Sheng Heavens. At the same time, Yin Ya and Ji Yang arrived at a place hung with bells and talisman seals. Yin Ya was repelled when trying to approach, but Ji Yang easily broke through the formation.
