I must say, I am pretty jealous. Donghua playing Go on a boat in the middle of a pond filled of lotus flowers. I mean, I wish I could enjoy life like that too. Well, maybe not the go part, because that game is super hard actually. To me. I like Chinese chess better. But for having lived in Hanzhou and having walked around the West Lake filled with flowers, it’s just so peaceful and calm. Being an immortal does have some nice benefits. So while playing, Lian Song starts gossiping about Fengjiu and since Donghua knows that she transformed herself into a handkerchief he’s teasing on purpose. Once again, Lian Song loses the game and takes the cup of tea that was holding Fengjiu-handkerchif down. Thus the wind blows and she falls down in the water. Donghua brings her back and hides in his clothes. Lian Song says it’s a good day to practice with his weapon, but Donghua declines and says he has something else to do and then just leaves without even saying goodbye. So Donghua like. Seems like Lian Song also knows the handkerchief is Fengjiu.

Back in his palace, Donghua puts Fengjiu-handkerchief on an incense burner.

Just a comment like this and just my own personal opinion. I don’t like the scenes in which Fengjiu is transformed in something else than a person. This time as the handkerchief, before as the spiritual fox. It looks very cheap and poorly made and I don’t know. The whole drama overall is beautiful with gorgeous sceneries. And then this. I seriously don’t know how they could have made it look better, so I am indeed criticizing without being able to suggest something different, but I don’t know, I feel they didn’t give much thought to those scenes and I feel it’s really a shame.

Ahli goes and finds Zheyan for help. He wants Zheyan to go and bring back Fengjiu because he things Donghua still hasn’t notice that the handkerchief is Fengjiu. How cute is our little riceball? Zheyan agrees, but he will go the next day because even if did go right away, since it’s the middle of the night, Donghua will probably not give him back the handkerchief.

In his kitchen, Donghua is back to cooking his fish. The dreadful fish. Is he going to feed to Fengjiu? Hahaha. He keeps on sending his knife almost on her, he’s so doing it on purpose. As soon as Donghua leaves, Fengjiu goes back to her usual form and eats some of the fish Donghua made. It’s still as disgusting as before.

In the yard, Lian Song is demonstrating the new things he added to his tower weapon thingy and Chong Lin gets sucked in it. Donghua is like “wow, thumbs up dude”. I don’t think that was supposed to happen haha. He doesn’t know how to make him come out.

In the kitchen, Fengjiu is making the fish all over again, while Lian Song tries to get Cong Lin back with Donghua as his spectator. Unabble to do it, Lian Song kinds of beg Donghua to solve the problem. Just one movement and done. chong Lin is back. Lian Song then says it smells really good and Donghua tells him he made his signature dish. Then Lian Song is like, well, I know how are your cooking skills, plus you are not in the kitchen right now. Hey listen, I have an idea so she would show her real form.

Fengjiu only gets to take one bite of that fish she made before Lian Song and Donghua comes in the kitchen to eat. Well, does Donghua ever eats? Like, he always just dips his chopsticks in the dish and smells it. Oh right, he ate the Wuyou cakes. I thought maybe he didn’t need to eat because that was like... he reached such a high level of cultivation it’s not necessary anymore. I mean, it could have made sense. Anyways, as he smells the fish, it seems he thinks back of the one Fengjiu made when she was a palace maid. In the end, he didn’t even get to have a bite, Lian Song ate it all by himself. Then he says that if only Chengyu could it something like this, she would get better so much faster. He says she’s so sick she can’t even stand up, which makes Fengjiu really worried.

Zheyan comes with Ahli to pay a visit to Donghua. He starts by praising the scenery, the tea pavilion, the smell of the tea and blabla, but Ahli rushes him to say why they came. So Zheyan says that while playing, Ahli lost his handkerchief which holds a special meaning to him because it was made by his grandmother and that it seems that Donghua took it. Fengjiu is really happy, thinking that then Donghua won’t have a choice but to let her go. But Donghua just gives them a random handkerchief. Ahli complains that it’s not the one, but Zheyan takes him away. Ahli is so cute. He’s like “since you didn’t give it your all, then I’m ignoring you from now on”. Then Zheyan just distracts Ahli with something else haha. Kids <3

Donghua tells her that since she won’t come back, he will use her to clean his sword. So Fengjiu decides it’s more than about time that she escapes. So while Donghua is sleeping, she transforms back, but while trying to stand up, she breaks a pot. Whoooops. She tries to use a spell to make him feel like he’s dreaming, but it doesn’t really work. However, he pretends it does and then she leaves.

She’s having a little walk in Donghua’s palace, to think back about the past and dream some more about Donghua. Poor girl. Well, at least now he thinks she’s interesting. And seems like he followed her and he cast a sleeping spell on her. Because the love spell is unecessary. And he’s turning her back into a handkerchief.

While Donghua flies to meet with Yan Chiwu, Fengjiu wakes up and realizes she’s still by Donghua’s side and thus believes that her whole escape was just a dreaming. Chiwu has been waiting for a while and is ready to provoke Donghua on a dual. In like a few seconds, Daonghua defeats him. But knowing Chiwu... I bet he won’t just give up like that. So they just forget about tricks and go at each other. While sparring, Fengjiu falls from Donghua’s waist belt and he shields her into some kind of bubble. She took back her real appearance. Then there’s some kind of tornado coming out of nowhere that pulls Fengjiu and Yan Chiwu away.

AHKU AND AHLI!! excellent team

Siming and Fengjiu are gossiping together. Rumours has it lately that Donghua hides a beautiful maiden in his palace. Siming says that it’s a good thing then Fengjiu cut ties with him back then, really that Donghua isn’t a guy to date with an habit like that haha. However, at the idea that Donghua likes a girl, she’s kind of jelly. She gave up, right? Right? Haha. So they think it may be Zhihe, but since she was away for a long time, Siming thinks it’s not likely to be her. Then he tells her Lian Song saw Donghua in the bath rooms with that girl about a week ago and Fengjiu chokes on her grapes. Wooops, that would kind of be me? Other rumours has it that Chengyu is the secret daughter of Donghua hahaha. I love it. We need more gossiping please!

According to the information Chengyu gave her about Donghua’s schedule, the next day Fengjiu is going to find back her lost bangle. Ahli wants to go with her but she won’t take him. Riceball is angry that Xiaojiu isn’t taking him with like usual and says that lately Fengjiu has been so busy and weird. She then pretends to be Bai Qian looool It’s so fake, but oh well, she gets in. She thinks there’s just him but there are actually plenty of people and then she asks about her bangle hahaha. She’s so embarrassed, He says he does have her things. He even carries them with him hahaha. I mean... Oh that girl forgot her stuff, I will keep it in my sleeves just in case I see her around hahaha!

She tries to escape, but he still gives it to her haha. I think he had a little fun teasing her. The next day, Lian Song teases a little bit Donghua about it and wonders if he’s interested in Xiaojiu because she’s also a red fox and right she comes by with Bai Zhen taking a walk and Donghua can’t keep his eyes off her. Lian Song asks him why does he pay her so much attention and Donghua says he thinks she’s funny/interesting, a mix of the two.

Zhihe  dances for the Emperor and he’s very pleased by her talent so he decides it’s time for her, after hundreds of years to come back to the palace. He asks Donghu’s opinion, but he doesn’t care at all, he didn’t even look at her dance. Then Fengjiu laughed a little and she has to explain herself. She felt relieved for Zhihe that she could come back so easily, but also felt sad for those in her situation that don’t have any special talent.

Lian Song plays the flute for Chengyu and it makes butterflies appear. The special effects for that scene were really beautiful. She then tells him she has no feelings for Zheyan, she just admires him. Then he takes her hand and asks (well it’s more like affirming) if she likes him. She takes her hand away. She says she doesn’t. but clearly does.

Fengjiu is drunk again. Donghua comes and asks her what she’s doing. She says she’s drinking juice, but it’s actually alcohol. He asks her if she remembers the way back home, but she doesn’t really know. He says he’s going to take her back, but she tells him he’s a liar. Last time he said to wait for him while he gives a lesson to someone but he never came back for her. Then he asks her if she’s not mistaken on the person and she says she’s not and tells him he’s a bad person. Because he said she was just a pet and when she left, he didn’t even looked for her. He doesn’t remember that, of course she was a spiritual fox then. Then she faints in his arms.

She wakes ups hugging Donghua’s clothing. That last night, she was so drunk that Donghua had to send her home, but when he tried to leave, she wouldn’t let go of his outfit and they couldn’t wake her, he could only leave his clothe with her before leaving. He couldn’t spend the night there and there were no clothes for him to wear, so Ahli had to go ask his mom and dad, but they were sleeping deeply so he had to talk very loudly and everybody heard what he said. Fengjiu is extremely embarrassed.

Then Ahli brings her a letter from Bai Yi, saying it’s about time she goes back to Qingqiu. Ahli is sad hearing that news, he doesn’t want Fengjiu to leave so soon. Cute little boy. She promises to go have fun with him as soon as she’s done sending back Donghua’s clothes. She doesn’t get in the  palace and throws it at him over the wall. He thinks it’s funny I guess. Then Zhihe asks him about it but he just says that the party is over, she should go back now. She’s shook.

As Fengjiu and Ahli comes out to play, there are almost pooped on by birds. Then Zhihe comes to asks questions and Ahli tries to protect Fengjiu, but that Zhihe pushes Ahli on the ground. Wow. The nerves. Ahli is Yehua’s son, not somebody to meddle with. Fengjiu just pushes Zhihe and she lands right in the birds’ poop hahaha. I’m a child, I’m laughing to a poop joke and I am not ashamed of it. At all.

Donghua is really something. He’s always lying somewhere. Can he stay up? Am I the one who noticed that he’s like, never standing on his feet? Hahaha. It’s okay, it’s because he’s ooooooold x) Ahli comes to tell what he learnt while spying on people. They are having bets about Donghua. People are betting whether he’s going to marry Zhihe or Fengjiu haha. So far, people think he will most likely marry Zhihe. Learning that they don’t bet on her, she gives Ahli a lot of money to bet on her. And Ahli is like, I am still so young and you are teaching me to cheat? Then she says no, we do it because we can’t lose Qingqiu’s honour haha. I just can’t (; And Donghua is just behind them hahahaha. Ahli says that she never gets the first ranking on the exam and she says that Ahli never is the last name because he’s not studying buddhism. Then Ahli says, well Donghua is really good at it and Fengjiu is like that’s because he’s not normal haha. Well the word she uses is really pejorative here, and it would be used to describe perverts too, so it’s funny. To me at least.

So Donghua invites Xiaojiu to sit with him. Wow. That’s progress. He asks her if she was scared to see him and she’s like, no I was happy and embarrassed. Then he pours tea for her and she’s really clumsy. She excuses herself for being so clumsy. Lian Song sees Donghua with a girl and is jealous that he would spend time with a girl when he’s too lazy to come and see his new artefact. He wonders also why is he so interested in that girl. Siming says no wonder he’s interested. Girls are usually hanging on to him while this one is trying to avoid him. It’s normal it rises his curiosity.

Ahli is just the cutest. Xiaojiu takes him out to play and he complains about how bad his father is. He remembers he fell asleep in his mother’s palace, but woke in his own palace, he says his dad lied to him and brought him back so he can keep Bai Qian to himself haha. Such a cute kid.

There was a problem with the flower show Lian Song and Chengyu worked on together and once it’s done, they both try to protect each other. Yeah, Chengyu doesn’t like Lian Song haha. They are cute. the Emperor doesn’t punish them though.

There is a beast frightening people and Fengjiu sends Ahli to seek his mom for help. Zhihe is right next to it, but doesn’t do anything to help. Fengjiu asks her why doesn’t she use her rain power, but Zhihe doesn’t say anything, so Fengjiu jumps in to fight with the fire beast. Fengjiu can’t fight it openly, she knows she won’t  be able to win so she distracts and almost falls down the cliff. Donghua’s song. He came to save Fengjiu. And well, everybody. He beats that beast in like three seconds not even. Since she got wet during the fight, Donghua gave her his clothes haha. But then she doesn’t want it because then she would have to see him again and cause him trouble. So he says well keep it as a souvenir, you don’t need to give it back haha. She’s like no it’s not what I mean. So he’s well then wash it and give it back to me. She really doesn’t want to take it, but he won’t take a no as an answer. He says he saved her life, she could at least wash his clothe hahaha. God. That’s better. I hope it keeps on being like this. Then she remembers the time they spent together when she was just a fox. Then he asks her why did she save them and she says as the heir of the Fox tribe, if she sees people in danger and doesn’t help, how can she keep the trust of her people?

Bai Qian keeps on getting blind dates for Xiajiu. That’s actually funny, like a pool of men is waiting for her and she tries to run away from them. They all run after her. She ends up hiding in a bath place. And she decides to take a bath lol Just... Oh water and a big bath! I am going to get in even though I don’t whose this place is. Dong Hua is like inside and knows she’s there. He throws clothes at her when Lian Song opens the door. Omg. I just can’t believe what I saw haha. He gives her her clothes and then hands out to her her underwear. Hahaha, she’s so embarrassed and he’s still that ice cold face. Is he doing it on purpose to tease her? But Qingti’s bangle? Where is it? Yup, she forgot it.

Lian Song teases him and says that he gets married to Fengjiu, Donghua will have to call Yehua uncle hahaha. I love how then he teases him about Chengyu.
