Episode 30 recap: Xuan Xiao broke the ice.
Liu Meng Li heard the voice of the person inside and released them. Jing Chen said that Liu Meng Li is the child of the demon lord, and Liu Meng Li was surprised to discover that their birth mother is actually the demon lord. Yun Tian He gave the Kun Scale to Xuan Xiao, and Xuan Xiao thought that if Mu Rong Zi Ying understood Yun Tian He's words, they would definitely come to find Yun Tian He, but if they didn't understand, there was no need to be with them.
Yun Tian He said they had decided not to stay here because no one liked it here and said they wanted to be together. Xuan Xiao hoped that Yun Tian He would stay, but Yun Tian He expressed a desire for Xuan Xiao to take care of themselves and that if they needed help, Yun Tian He would definitely assist.
Seeing that Yun Tian He had made up their mind, Xuan Xiao didn't say anything further. Liu Meng Li asked what happened to Gui Xie, and Xi Zhong explained what happened back then. It was the people from the Qiong Hua Sect who suddenly attacked him, and in order to protect everyone, the demon lord left behind the newborn Liu Meng Li to fight them, which led to Liu Meng Li being stranded in the human world. Many people also died in that battle.
Gui Xie stated that the Qiong Hua Sect would not let Yun Tian He leave because only the host with the Xi He and Wang Shu swords could open the barrier. Liu Meng Li insisted on going back to find Yun Tian He and the others. Su Yao agreed to let Yun Tian He and the others leave, but they had to leave the Wang Shu sword behind. Mu Rong Zi Ying came to find Yun Tian He, and Yun Tian He agreed to give them the Wang Shu sword.
The sect master and their followers arrived, wanting to keep Yun Tian He and the others, as they believed they were no longer Mu Rong Zi Ying's disciples and that he had no authority over them. Mu Rong Zi Ying said they obeyed the sect leader's orders and wanted Yun Tian He and the others to leave.
Liu Meng Li rushed over to help Yun Tian He and the others, but was struck down by the Empress Jade, revealing their demonic form. The sect master wanted to deal with Liu Meng Li, but Yun Tian He and the others quickly intervened, and Xi Zhong and the others also arrived. Su Yao and their group also came over.
Yun Tian He told Liu Meng Li to leave quickly, and Mu Rong Zi Ying drew their sword. Yun Tian He quickly stood in front of Liu Meng Li, asking Mu Rong Zi Ying not to do it.
Mu Rong Zi Ying remembered what their master had told them before, that they and Liu Meng Li were martial siblings, and no matter what happened, they should trust and protect each other.
Mu Rong Zi Ying approached Su Yao, holding their sword to block them, saying they couldn't let them pass. Su Yao was also very frustrated. Han Ling Sha urged Yun Tian He to quickly take Liu Meng Li and leave while they went to help Mu Rong Zi Ying.
Elder Qing Yang also arrived and believed that they couldn't stand by and not help. They were also in a difficult position, taking the Wang Shu sword and urging Mu Rong Zi Ying to leave quickly. Su Yao wanted to chase after them, but Elder Qing Yang said that the Wang Shu sword was more important. Liu Meng Li said goodbye to Yun Tian He, expressing gratitude for the happy times spent together. Han Ling Sha and the others also came over, and Mu Rong Zi Ying said that regardless of what Liu Meng Li was, they were their protected younger sibling.
Xuan Xiao emerged from the ice, vowing to destroy the demon realm. They came to chase and kill Liu Meng Li, who was injured. Liu Meng Li was pushed into a light circle and suddenly disappeared. Now the entire Qiong Hua Sect was under Xuan Xiao's rule, and anyone who defied Xuan Xiao was severely injured.
Yun Tian He still wanted to leave, as they didn't like the current state of affairs with Xuan Xiao. Elder Qing Yang intervened to mediate and took Yun Tian He and the others back first. Yun Tian He wanted to go and find Liu Meng Li. Elder Chong Guang said they had to first acquire the Yiyin Branch in the Netherworld, which was located in the Mount Bu Zhou, guarded by the Candle Dragon. It would be very challenging, but Yun Tian He and the others still wanted to go.
Mu Rong Zi Ying wanted to reforge their sword, but their heart was in turmoil. Elder Qing Yang told them that the great battle 19 years ago was already a mistake, that there was no clear boundary between humans and demons, and not all demons deserved to die.
After watching so many episodes, Tianhe has always upheld purity, stayed true to himself, and followed his own ideas. He is willing to risk everything to protect the people he cares about. When Lingsha is in danger, he protects her without hesitation, even using his own life to guard her.
When everyone discovers that Mengli is a demon and wants to get rid of her, Tianhe continues to believe in her and protect her. Lingsha and Tianhe are also unwavering in their trust in Mengli, regardless of whether she is human or demon.
During the time they spend together with Mengli, Tianhe and the others realize that not all demons are evil and they learn the importance of helping and supporting each other, growing together and protecting one another.
This is their story, and while the TV show may have an ending, their story will never truly end.
I think the four-person group is very sincere. Within this small group, there is a sense of everyone playing their role. Han Ling Sha is like a little sun, taking care of everyone's emotions.
It feels like she is always there to warm everyone's hearts. Of course, she is also a very cheerful character. Despite having a short lifespan due to her fate as a Wishing Tree host, and even losing some years of her life as the male lead's Shu Su, it hasn't affected her lively and cheerful personality.
I think that's what makes Han Ling Sha both intriguing and endearing.
As for Liu Meng Li, I think she has a high emotional intelligence and is quite outspoken. She knows how to read people's minds and says what needs to be said at crucial moments, avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings and regrets.
This adds to the enjoyment of the entire drama.
Mu Rong Zi Ying, on the other hand, gives off a strong sense of being an elder within the four-person group. He takes good care of everyone, including the injured Han Ling Sha, Tian He, and Meng Li.
I find the most appealing aspect of his character to be his expertise in the art of unrequited love, which can't help but make one feel a sense of heartache.
Yun Tian He's biggest characteristic is his innocence and naivety.
He is a loyal friend, regardless of anything else. The greatest characteristic of the four-person group is that they all excel at being talkative, which makes watching the drama very enjoyable.
And of course, there's a mix of various romantic relationships, like Zisha and Lisha. I believe that whether in the drama or in real life, having such a group of friends is truly rare and precious.
