Feng Jiu’s debt to Chen Ye
This is just my mind rambling and can barely be counted as a really short fic.
Chen Ye saved Feng Jiu from being burned to death in the cage.
Naturally she should want to repay him.
However, she is having trouble figuring out what to give him.
Su Moye isn’t of much help. He wants Feng Jiu to focus on continuing Aranya’s path, which was already focused on helping Chen Ye. But Feng Jiu dismisses that as part of paying her life debt.
Eventually, Feng Jiu asks Dong Hua for help because apparently even cooking for Chen Ye is not satisfactory.
Of course, Dong Hua goes jealous but decides to take the matter off for Feng Jiu. He tells her that the item he is building will tell them what Chen Ye really wants - which is pretty much to sacrifice Feng Jiu to resurrect Aranya.
Dong Hua puts a stop to Chen Ye’s plan.
When Dong Hua plants the tree, Feng Jiu decides she can repay her debt by making sure that Chen Ye and Aranya can be together in the future. Dong Hua is fine with this idea.
