Episode 14 recap: Lin Yuan revealed Yue Qi's identity, and Yue Qi returned to the Tianqing Sea to reunite with her mother.
Following the address provided by Granny Shi, everyone walked towards the direction of the mine. Just in case, Ju Shi Fang and Miss Ming Xiu stayed outside to provide support. Shortly after Yue Jin Zhao and the others entered, a woman followed them, and Lin Yuan quietly followed into the mine. Ju Shi Fang was surprised to discover that the scales on Lin Yuan's body were exactly the same as those on Yue Qi's.
Xian Qing knew that Lin Yuan was following them, so he devised a plan to surround her. Just as they were pressuring Lin Yuan to reveal the truth, the woman waved her hand and detonated the explosives in the mine. Immediately, a series of collapses occurred in the mine, with rocks flying and rolling. Yue Jin Zhao tightly protected Yue Qi, while he himself was trapped under a boulder.
Xian Qing and Luo Zhao Yan were also separated by the rocks. They could only console each other from a distance. Luo Zhao Yan didn't allow Xian Qing to open a passage, fearing that flying rocks would harm Yue Qi and Yue Jin Zhao nearby. Xian Qing couldn't help but feel moved by her consideration for others.
Yue Qi was unharmed, and she held the unconscious Yue Jin Zhao in her arms, crying in distress. Yue Jin Zhao woke up and comforted Yue Qi, telling her not to worry. The two reminisced about being trapped in the mine three years ago and cherished the fact that no matter what difficulties they faced, they were always by each other's side.
Ju Shi Fang and Ming Xiu hurried over, and Ju Shi Fang cleverly opened the entrance with a small bean bun. Only then were they able to reunite with the others. Ming Xiu handed Master's medicine to Yue Jin Zhao and urged him to take it quickly. Luo Zhao Yan also expressed gratitude to Xian Qing for protecting her during the crisis, but Xian Qing didn't want her to be overly polite.
The person in contact with Granny Shi turned out to be one of Ge Qing Fei's subordinates. She didn't intend to harm Yue Qi and the others; she only wanted to trap Yue Jin Zhao and the others in the cave to buy time for the last shipment of crystals. However, General Lin Yuan suddenly appeared, and Ge Qing Fei speculated that Lin Yuan had followed them. It seemed that the people in Tianqing Sea already knew that the Hengdao Sect was collecting crystals. She ordered her subordinates to withdraw the control hub immediately.
Finally, Lin Yuan fell into the hands of the group. Unable to hide the truth, Lin Yuan turned around and knelt before Yue Qi in a gesture of respect. It turned out that Yue Qi was the princess of the Yu Clan, a sea monster living in the Tianqing Sea. Everyone was surprised to hear this unexpected background of Yue Qi. However, Yue Jin Zhao expressed doubt. If Yue Qi was their princess, why was she abandoned and neglected in the human world for three years? Lin Yuan explained that the princess was banished to the human world as a punishment by their ruler, Zhu Yu. Three years ago, when the princess was traveling in the human world, she used a forbidden technique on a young human boy, causing him to lose his memory and become bound to her, living only for the sake of the one who performed the technique. Stripped of personal identity and memories, he existed solely for that person. As a punishment, the ruler forced the princess to temper her character in Wuyan Village.
Concerned about Yue Qi's safety, the emperor dispatched himself and Su Xuan to secretly protect her. Everyone understood that the human youth was indeed Yue Jin Zhao. Yue Jin Zhao still doubted Lin Yuan's words and expressed his intention to go to the Tianqing Sea to find out the truth. Lin Yuan agreed, as the young prince and the emperor had yet to reunite.
Everyone expressed their willingness to accompany Yue Jin Zhao to the Tianqing Sea, except for Ming Xiu, who disagreed. She didn't want to associate with demons and had no desire to go to the demon realm. Xian Qing knew that it was because her mother had died at the hands of demons, and she had been unable to let go of her grief. He used a spell to make Ming Xiu unconscious, as he knew Gu Han Jiang had the key and would blame him if Ming Xiu refused to go with the group. After Ming Xiu woke up, Xian Qing intentionally revealed his true form to cheer her up and persuaded her to confront her grief. He explained that to eradicate demons, one must first understand them.
Everyone set off for the Tianqing Sea and unexpectedly discovered a city in the sky. Lin Yuan said it was the home of their Yu clan. Upon entering the Tianqing Sea, they found it somewhat desolate. Lin Yuan explained that the Tianqing Sea had suffered a great calamity over a decade ago and was still in the process of recovery. Yue Qi wanted to inquire about the calamity, but Lin Yuan simply said she would find out in due time.
Here, Ju Shi Fang joyfully discovered Miss Su Xuan. Before reaching the main hall, everyone encountered Zhu Yu, the dignified and majestic emperor of the Yu clan. She had scales similar to Yue Qi's, confirming her identity as Yue Qi's mother. Lin Yuan informed Yue Qi that her bloodline contained the blood of a Kun, and the emergence of scales indicated that her inherent power was awakening.
However, Yue Jin Zhao still didn't believe everything. Lin Yuan told him that the heart-to-heart connection between him and the young prince was proof. The emperor prepared a welcoming ceremony for Yue Qi, who was dressed impeccably. Yue Qi sought out Jin Zhao, but he began to question their feelings—whether they were genuine or a result of the Husheng Technique.
While Lin Yuan was reporting the details of their journey to the emperor, the Husheng Technique was also the excuse he used to conceal the truth. However, the emperor didn't blame him, as it was necessary to keep Yue Qi and the emperor from meeting each other.
