Episode 18 recap: Ji Yang Proactively Arranges to Meet Nan Yan
In Episode 18, although the ship Jie Chou is small, it is like an isolated island on the sea, equipped with all the necessary living facilities. Ji Yang strolls around, relaxed and carefree. Meanwhile, Nan Yan is busy selecting herbs, only to be intercepted by Yuan Feng, who openly expresses his admiration for her and tries to get close to her under the pretext of seeking instruction on spiritual cultivation. Nan Yan handles the situation skillfully, not only avoiding the trap but also toying with Yuan Feng.
However, Ji Yang then steps in, further embarrassing Yuan Feng.
On the other hand, Nan Yan's gentle act of catching butterflies for a young girl inadvertently catches Ji Yang's eye. He quietly observes her until she leaves. Yuan Feng, burning with anger, becomes even more obsessed with Nan Yan, even planning to use the despicable means of the Illusion Love Fragrance to try to captivate her heart.
Ji Yang struggles internally, trying to separate Senluo from his body, but finds that the two are already inseparable, and forcibly separating them would lead to devastating consequences. He can only suppress Senluo for the moment and find peace. At this time, the captain announces the opportunity to witness the extraordinary sight of the ship Jie Chou in the rain, and Ji Yang and Nan Yan find themselves standing side by side, holding umbrellas, as if there is a subtle connection between them.
Nan Yan uses the pretext of finding the captain to treat his illness, but her real purpose is to seize the opportunity to check the passenger list, concerned that evil cultivators may have infiltrated. Although the captain feels uneasy, he ultimately agrees to Nan Yan's request. Ji Yang follows secretly, but accidentally triggers Nan Yan's barrier, and their hands touch, awakening Nan Yan's memories of Ji Yang.
However, faced with Nan Yan's questions, Ji Yang chooses to remain silent. In the passenger list, the name "Yin" catches Nan Yan's attention, and she decides to investigate further after discussing with Yin Ya. Yin Ya sneaks into Ji Yang's room and encounters questioning from Dragon Sect disciples, but cleverly escapes using her techniques.
Later, Yin Ya discovers something unusual about the food and deliberately feigns unconsciousness to lure out the culprit, only to find that it is Ji Yang. Meanwhile, Yuan Feng, having lost the Blood Phoenix Hairpin to Ji Yang, is forced to reveal the truth about the assassin, and tries to use Ji Yang's interest in Nan Yan to secure his own safety.
The next day, Yuan Feng apologizes to Nan Yan and reveals that he lost control due to the Illusion Love Fragrance, while also inviting Nan Yan to a banquet. Nan Yan was initially inclined to refuse, but the handwriting on the invitation appears to be Ji Yang's, piquing her curiosity, and she decides to attend. At the banquet, Ji Yang appears, shocking Nan Yan. A battle of power, desire, and truth is quietly unfolding.
