Episode 31 recap: Zhu Yu caused chaos in Jing'an City, and Yue Jin Zhao and his friends helped the people.
When Yue Jin Zhao woke up in the Realm Pivot after returning from the Time Rift, he hadn't rested well and felt sore all over. Qi was delighted to see Yue Jin Zhao wake up and hurriedly made him a bowl of egg noodles. This time, the egg noodles were delicious and fragrant, a significant improvement from the last time she made them.
Yue Jin Zhao remembered what she had said before, about learning to grow up and take responsibility. He couldn't help but feel impressed by how much she had grown. Yue Jin Zhao jokingly said he wanted to give this bowl of noodles a grand name: the Yue Family Egg Noodles. However, Qi thought his naming skills were lousy. While they were playing around, Xiaoyuan walked in. When she saw Yue Jin Zhao, she called him "Third Brother," but it was evident that Yue Jin Zhao was unfamiliar with her.
Xiaoyuan pestered Yue Jin Zhao to make a grasshopper for her, and he awkwardly started to weave one. Xiaoyuan was unhappy that Qi was always by Third Brother's side and made sarcastic remarks about finding her annoying. Taking advantage of Xiaoyuan going out to get the grass weaving from the previous time, Yue Jin Zhao and Qi quickly slipped out.
Ge Qing Fei came to call Yue Jin Zhao to meet with Ying Xu Wei for a discussion. Yue Jin Zhao made it clear that he had previously regarded the Hengdao Sect as enemies, but since he had come here, he needed them to explain what he should do. He would make a judgment and draw conclusions after determining right from wrong. Ying Xu Wei asked him to negotiate cooperation with the Zhengwu League to resist Zhu Yu.
Yue Jin Zhao believed that the Zhengwu League wouldn't cooperate with the Hengdao Sect, whose reputation was bad. He stated that dealing with Zhu Yu wasn't an easy task. She was an ancient divine beast and still in the sky. Even if the Zhengwu League and the Hengdao Sect joined forces, their power would be insignificant. Ge Qing Fei told him that it was still possible as long as they could attack Zhu Yu's weak spot on her scales, then they would succeed.
Ying Xu Wei told Yue Jin Zhao that the Yu Clan couldn't survive without water. Zhu Yu believed that by obtaining the Rhea Sea Key Ring, she could follow the Rhea Sea's trail to the surface, and then the surface-dwelling Yu Clan would be handed over to the Zhengwu League, while the celestial forces would be dealt with by the Realm Pivot. This matter was urgent. Currently, people are constantly being petrified in various places, indicating that Zhu Yu is consuming the Qiyuan Pearls.
And her next target is Jing'an City, which falls within the territory of the Zhengwu League. Upon hearing this, Yue Jin Zhao became angry and questioned why they didn't inform the people in the city in advance to take shelter. After speaking, he quickly went out to find Qi and told her to go to Jing'an immediately. Their friends followed suit and rushed to Jing'an City, but it was already too late. Zhu Yu had descended upon the sky over Jing'an, and in an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, fierce winds howled, and sand and stones flew. The once peaceful and prosperous people ran in panic and cried out in despair. Some people who couldn't escape in time were either petrified or met a tragic death. The scenes were horrifying to behold. Qi immediately mobilized her inner strength to rescue people. Although there were many casualties, saving even one life meant preserving a life. Yue Jin Zhao also assisted by her side, but Qi eventually fainted due to exerting too much energy.
Luo Zhao Yan, Ming Xiu, Xian Qing, Ju Shi Fang, and others hid the escaped people in the woods and provided some limited treatment to the injured. With the efforts of Qi and Yue Jin Zhao, the soul fish that were flying chaotically throughout the streets were absorbed and driven away, and the sky over Jing'an City finally cleared up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Everything they did was clearly observed by Ying Xu Wei and Ge Qing Fei in the Realm Pivot. At this moment, after the catastrophe, Jing'an City was in ruins. Qi and Ming Xiu walked on the main street, witnessing the tragic scenes of human suffering. In her heart, Qi silently asked, "Zhu Yu, is this what you wanted? Can you see it?"
Qi noticed that the owner of the pastry shop, Boss Ji, had unfortunately died, but fortunately, his pregnant wife was still alive. Ming Xiu quickly checked her pulse and found that her fetal condition was unstable, advising her not to get agitated. Qi planned to take her away from there, but Boss Ji's wife told them that she wanted to continue running the business and maintaining the brand left by Boss Ji.
Her resilience deeply touched Qi. Chen Qian Jun, a member of the Zhengwu League, took the lead in consuming the Qiyuan Pearls, thinking that it would enhance their power. However, the Qiyuan Pearls embedded in their flesh caused them extreme pain, and if it continued, they would soon petrify. They were filled with deep fear. When Zuo Guan Ren, the leader of the Zhengwu League, learned about this, he severely punished Chen Qian Jun. However, the key now was how to remove the Qiyuan Pearls.
In response to the suggestion, Qi said that she could give it a try.
