Episode 9 recap: The ancient mansion suddenly caught fire.
Nan Hua said that Jin Xia had forgotten everything he had said before, so he repeated it again. The roots of the cherry blossom ancient tree have withered, and this is the last flowering season of the cherry blossom ancient tree. Without the cherry blossom ancient tree, Nan Hua won't be able to recharge and will disappear. Nan Hua calculated that it would cost at least 30,000 yuan to repair the house.
Jin Xia felt it was too much and asked if Nan Hua had any savings. Nan Hua said that he had some savings before, but something happened during the Republican era, so he no longer had any money and felt sorry for Jin Xia. Jin Xia didn't think there was anything to be sorry about as it was Nan Hua's own money.
Jin Xia thought that with his savings and salary, they could manage for a while, but they would have to tighten their belts later. Jin Xia went to work at the company, and the people there told them that because they were organizing a big show, the company's funds were very tight, and their salaries would be delayed. Jin Xia didn't expect that on top of everything else, they wouldn't even receive their salaries.
Nan Hua thought he should earn some money by selling the fragments of the meteorite. However, the people there offered only 10,000 yuan, which Nan Hua considered too little. The boss said they were just fragments of a meteorite and hadn't been appraised, so he didn't believe them either. Nan Hua had no choice but to say that he would come back after getting them appraised.
Nan Hua wanted to find work, but he didn't have an ID card, so many places didn't want him. Nan Hua could only do odd jobs, but he was criticized by an old lady for not being skilled enough. Jin Xia happened to come by and was surprised to see Nan Hua working there. When Jin Xia returned home, there were many reporters waiting outside to interview them.
The reporters said that their area had been hit by a meteorite last night and mentioned the legend of the Wàngqī Town. Jin Xia found it inexplicable.
Nan Hua came over, and the reporters also gathered around. Jin Xia could only say that Nan Hua was her boyfriend. After finally sending away the reporters, Jiang Xiao Chuan also arrived and showed Jin Xia a video. It turned out that their ancient mansion had become popular online, which was why there were so many reporters interviewing them.
Jiang Xiao Chuan thought it would be a good opportunity to promote themselves online so that they could make money from it. Jin Xia felt it was inappropriate because they still had many secrets. Jin Xia didn't even know what the legend of Wàngqī Town was about. Jiang Xiao Chuan explained that there was a general here who encountered a fairy, but the fairy was taken back to the heavens, so the general had to wait here forever.
Ding Yan Hai felt that the story was too innocent and suggested sharing a darker version. Ding Yan Hai said that it was the same at first, but instead of the fairy returning to the heavens, the general's sister, jealous of the fairy's powers, killed her.
The general was unwilling to accept this truth, so he continued to wait here. Nan Hua told Jin Xia that it wasn't that complicated; it was just a person who had been waiting here for over two thousand years. Jin Xia then realized that Nan Hua was referring to himself. Ding Yan Hai had already noticed that Nan Hua wasn't human. Nan Hua had many loopholes, individually they might not be noticeable, but when combined, it became clear, like a pot suddenly floating or not having an ID card, and so on.
Jin Xia wanted to explain, but Nan Hua felt there was no need to explain at this point. He said that there were many things he couldn't explain and hoped Ding Yan Hai wouldn't tell anyone. Ding Yan Hai agreed and asked Nan Hua not to treat himself as a stranger anymore.
Nan Hua also agreed. Ding Yan Hai felt that Jiang Xiao Chuan looked somewhat familiar. Jiang Xiao Chuan asked if Ding Yan Hai had watched his livestreams, but Ding Yan Hai said he hadn't.
