Episode 17 recap: Pray to enter Zhu Yu's sea of consciousness and visit her in the Tianqing Sea.
Zhu Yu was resting when Pray approached her bedside and used the spells she had learned to enter Zhu Yu's sea of consciousness. There was something she needed to figure out. Upon entering Zhu Yu's sea of consciousness, Zhu Yu discovered her and sternly questioned how she had entered. Pray said she had learned the art of meditation from ancient books and had entered on her own to unravel the Hu Sheng technique. Zhu Yu reproached her for doing such a thing for a human and considered humans to be the most shameless creatures.
Pray refused to listen to her speak ill of Yue Jin Zhao and wanted to leave. However, Zhu Yu said since she had come, she should not leave, as the Hu Sheng technique didn't exist anyway. She waved her hand to stop Pray from leaving and severely injured her. Yue Jin Zhao, who was walking, suddenly had a psychic connection and knew something had happened to Pray.
Ge Lao Da also received news from a scout that Zhu Yu had accidentally injured Pray. He arranged for Ge Qing Fei to go and negotiate. Upon hearing this, Bian Luo Huan hurriedly came to see Pray. Seeing her badly injured and connected to the mist spirit, he used his magic to awaken Pray. When Pray opened her eyes, she recognized her master and knew that they had been in the Yujie Shu all along, but she didn't know where they were now. Bian Luo Huan asked her if she recognized Yue Jin Zhao, but Pray couldn't understand what he was saying.
It seemed that he and Yue Jin Zhao were not in the same timeframe in Pray's memory. Regardless, Pray didn't care about that and happily pulled Bian Luo Huan, wanting to go to the mortal realm to eat delicious food. Ge Qing Fei came to the Tianqing Sea this time to deliver the Qiyuan Pearl to Zhu Yu. She also reminded Zhu Yu not to forget the agreement with the Hengdao congregation.
Sixteen years ago, in order to save the Yu clan, Zhu Yu bound herself with blood to the mist spirit, and her older brother, Yin Xu, became the guardian of the mist spirit. In order to ensure the safety of the underworld, he made a pact with Zhu Yu, and the Hengdao congregation collected Qiyuan Pearls for Zhu Yu, while Pray was taken as a hostage to be raised and educated by the Hengdao congregation. Now Zhu Yu secretly left Pray in the Tianqing Sea and even injured her. Does this count as a violation of the agreement? Bian Luo Huan and Pray wandered in the streets of the mortal realm, and everything seemed fresh to Pray. However, everything here was based on bartering, and Bian Luo Huan had nothing to offer.
The boss pointed to the small fish pendant on Pray's body and said it could be exchanged, but Pray instinctively protected it and said it couldn't be exchanged. However, she couldn't remember when she had acquired this pendant. Bian Luo Huan sat down next to an ancient qin on the street and played the tune that Pray was familiar with. Pray listened to it, intoxicated. However, the power of the mist spirit was fading, and there was not much time left.
Pray told Bian Luo Huan about all the wishes she wanted to fulfill, and Bian Luo Huan felt extremely desolate. He held the seashell that could record all sounds, knowing that if Pray woke up, she would forget everything she had experienced today.
Zhu Yu told Ge Qing Fei in the main hall that Pray's decision to stay or leave was up to her. Ge Qing Fei was surprised to see Bian Luo Huan also present and asked Zhu Yu to abide by the previous agreement. Yue Jin Zhao and the Left Alliance Leader were discussing the next steps of their plan. Gao Xiao had already gone to the headquarters of the Qiyuan Sect, leaving only Meng Jiaoshi as a scapegoat. Yue Jin Zhao promised to intensify the search for the Qiyuan Sect's headquarters. The Left Alliance Leader appointed Ju Shi Fang as the new leader of the Mechanism Hall and invited Yue Jin Zhao and Luo Zhao Yan to join the Zhengwu Alliance. However, considering the conflicting interests between the Zhengwu Alliance and the demon realm, Yue Jin Zhao and Luo Zhao Yan politely declined the Left Alliance Leader's offer. Luo Zhao Yan held the hairpin given by Xian Qing and couldn't help but miss her. Far away in Yuchun Mountain, Xian Qing sneezed. Gu Han Jiang suddenly felt uneasy and quickly left to go to Wugu.
After waking up, Pray asked Zhu Yu if she remembered what happened before. Pray recalled what had happened after she entered Zhu Yu's sea of consciousness and realized that the Hu Sheng technique was nothing but a fabrication. She didn't understand why Zhu Yu treated her that way. Zhu Yu seemed to have something difficult to express and didn't answer Pray's question. Luo Zhao Yan received a letter from Xian Qing, mentioning Ming Xiu's birthday and that they would rush over with Gu Han Jiang. Thinking about meeting her, Luo Zhao Yan felt delighted and in a good mood after reading the letter. Pray walked alone on the street. She saw a grand ceremony taking place ahead, where the former queen was commemorating the anniversary of Night's death. Pray decided to go and watch. Pray told Su Xuan that she wanted to find Jin Chao and informed him that the Hu Sheng technique didn't exist at all. Su Xuan quickly stopped her, but Pray didn't understand why Su Xuan was hostile towards her. Su Xuan told her that Pray had taken away his mother.
