Episode 20 recap: The Past and Present Lives of A Jiu and Blue.

Han Ye's successful capture of the herb spirit earned him merit. Prince Ye thought of the vacancy in the position of the Chief Officer after Jiu Ming left the Shangqing Division and intended to promote Han Ye. This made Han Ye overjoyed. At this moment, he had already followed Prince Ye's instructions and delivered the millennium ginseng to Zhu Shaoqing. In this way, there would be someone speaking for the Shangqing Division, and the day of unsealing was just around the corner.

Prince Ye learned that Blue was not afraid of fire and couldn't help but be extremely puzzled. After all, ordinary herbs are afraid of fire. Han Ye didn't believe in superstitions and ordered to increase the firepower and continue burning. A Jiu could feel the pain on Blue's body. At this point, A Jiu was already rolling on the bed in pain. He thought of Blue and became even more worried. He struggled to go and find Blue, but Yuan Xiang had already been ordered by Prince Ye to watch over him. A Jiu simply couldn't get out, plus his injuries were too severe to leave.

Suddenly, after Yuan Xiang left, Yu Hu appeared and told A Jiu that he was originally a celestial doctor in the heavens. He fell in love with Princess Lan Zhen of the Beiming Mountain and secretly descended to the mortal realm on their wedding day to save Lan Zhen with immortal dew. However, he failed to bring her back and instead caused the herbs on Beiming Mountain, which had absorbed the immortal dew, to become spirits. The Jade Emperor was furious and, seeing that A Jiu had developed mortal feelings, demoted him to a mortal and ordered him to eliminate all the spirits. Unexpectedly, A Jiu met Blue by chance and fell in love with her.

Yu Hu believed that this was a karmic relationship. At this time, Blue had been burning in the prison for a long time, but still had not transformed back to her original form. Just as Han Ye was about to leave, he heard a strange sound coming from the cell. It turned out that Blue's eyes had turned red, and she had become extremely powerful, breaking free from the iron chains.
