Episode 11 recap: Furong tried to seduce Shen Li using her beauty.
Furong had never seen Shen Li in person, but she often heard about Shen Li's adventures in the wilderness, where he displayed great strength and bravery, fighting demons and monsters. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Furong knew herself well and knew that she was timid and gentle. She couldn't even bear to kill a chicken, so how could she dare to marry such a fierce woman and bring her home? Furong spent days dreaming about it until finally, his friends gave him advice to go to the spirit realm and leave a bad impression on Shen Li, hoping that she would give up on him.
This suggestion opened Furong's mind, and he immediately packed his bags and returned to the spirit realm. Shen Li and Xing Zhi were still in the Xutian Abyss, driving away evil spirits. During these five days, Xing Zhi showed her the corners of every part of the Xutian Abyss. Shen Li witnessed Xing Zhi's godlike powers. Normally, it took a lot of effort for Shen Li to defeat a single evil spirit, but in Xing Zhi's eyes, it seemed like a simple wave of the hand. It was truly amazing!
After purifying the Xutian Abyss, Xing Zhi brought Shen Li back to the spirit realm. The people of the spirit realm welcomed Shen Li's victorious return with enthusiasm. It was the first time Xing Zhi felt the warmth of the spirit realm. Someone put a delicate flower crown on Shen Li's head. Shen Li, who had taken off her armor, looked heroic, but with the flower crown, she also had a touch of feminine beauty. Seeing her like this, Xing Zhi wished that Shen Li could always be happy like she was today.
In the spirit realm, Xing Zhi asked the Spirit Lord if they could stay for a few days. This surprised the Spirit Lord, who thought the customs of the spirit realm might be too rough, fearing that he might neglect Xing Zhi. However, Xing Zhi replied directly, feeling good about it. The Divine Lord had just helped purify the spirit realm of miasma, so there was no reason for the Spirit Lord to refuse.
Then, Xing Zhi proposed staying at the Bicang Palace. Since it was Xing Zhi's decision, there was no reason to refuse. Finally, the Spirit Lord agreed. The Spirit Lord asked Xing Zhi to rest first and then had a private conversation with Shen Li. Surprisingly, Shen Li did not agree to let Xing Zhi stay at the prince's mansion. Now that she had already tacitly accepted the arranged marriage, she accepted her fate, knowing that the spirit realm urgently needed a Divine Lord to help purify their territory.
The Spirit Lord had once sent subordinates to capture Shen Li and bring her back, and when these subordinates saw Xing Zhi for the first time, they were shocked. Xing Zhi's appearance and temperament were exactly the same as Xing Yun in the mortal realm. They whispered among themselves, being even more cautious and afraid in front of Xing Zhi, fearing that Xing Zhi would hold a grudge against them for capturing Xing Yun in the mortal realm.
Furong arrived in the spirit realm and deliberately acted arrogant and domineering, hoping to make everyone in the spirit realm dislike him. However, the moment he laid eyes on Shen Li, he completely fell for her. He had never seen such a handsome and charismatic prince in the world. Furong regretted his actions and immediately tried to make a good impression on Shen Li using his charm. However, Shen Li, who had never cared about appearances, didn't have a good impression of him. But out of respect for their engagement, she agreed to let Furong continue staying at the prince's mansion.
With this reprieve, Furong deliberately lingered around Shen Li, boasting about his divine power to purify miasma. He claimed that no one could match him except for Xing Zhi. Those who were knowledgeable could see through Furong's lies and were annoyed by his incessant chatter. Shen Li lightly flicked the ceramic vase placed beside her, and in an instant, the vase shattered into a pile of broken glass, frightening Furong. He was afraid of angering Shen Li and meeting the same fate as the vase.
Xing Zhi, who was watching Furong flatter Shen Li, couldn't help but feel jealous and became impatient in her speech. She urged Furong, since he claimed to be able to purify malevolence, to go out and demonstrate his skills. Seeing Furong storm off in anger, Xing Zhi also wondered when she had become so impatient and restless. She was usually composed and calm.
The Spirit Lord privately called Shen Li into a room and returned the precious sea-blue pearl to her. She explained that Shen Li had been born with the pearl in her mouth, and now that she had become a responsible prince, she returned the precious spirit pearl to her as a protective talisman. Shen Li held the sea-blue pearl in her hands and suddenly felt her mother's warmth.
