Episode 13 recap: Xing Zhi felt jealous of Shen Li.
Xing Zhi, thinking that Shen Li had retrieved her weapon, asked her to accompany him to the market, where they could stroll around, enjoy tea or try some local snacks. However, Shen Li, unwilling to feel lonely, wandered into the Flower Pavilion of the Spirit Realm. The courtesans there were exceptionally graceful and charming. First, they performed a seductive dance in front of everyone, and then they started selling alcohol as hostesses. In order to taste the most delicious dishes, Shen Li spared no expense to get drunk.
In the early morning, Ruo Ya hurriedly went to find Shen Li to inform her that Fu Rong had not returned all night. Shen Li, accompanied by Mo Fang, went to look for him. The result was that Fu Rong deliberately grabbed the leg of a courtesan to stir up trouble. The courtesan scolded Fu Rong loudly, and Shen Li was also surprised. Fu Rong's audacity had grown even stronger. Shen Li wrote a letter to the Immortal Realm, reporting Fu Rong's actions in the Spirit Realm.
Xing Zhi questioned why Shen Li didn't write a letter to the Spirit Lord. Shen Li didn't want to do that because she knew the importance of this alliance to the Spirit Realm. Although she didn't like Fu Rong, she didn't want to disappoint the Spirit Lord again. Xing Zhi felt uneasy hearing Shen Li's concerns. It was his fault for causing this mess in the first place. Now he was truly experiencing the bitter consequences.
Since the Spirit Lord returned the Blue Sea Warehouse Pearl to Shen Li, she had been feeling anxious, and it had been going on for several days. That night, she felt an intense burning sensation all over her body. Ruo Ya first went to find Fu Rong, but he wasn't in his room, so she reluctantly went to find Xing Zhi. Xing Zhi felt Shen Li's pulse and used his divine power to cool her down.
Seeing that Shen Li was feeling a bit better, Xing Zhi took his leave and went to the courtyard. He had a vague feeling that Shen Li had been afflicted by an emotion-inducing curse.
Last time, when Fu Rong grabbed the courtesan's leg, he was beaten by Mo Fang. Although Mo Fang always had a stern face, Fu Rong found him interesting. After that, whenever she had free time, she would run to the military camp to find Mo Fang. Shen Li saw that Fu Rong was causing trouble again and realized that she couldn't always let Fu Rong lead her by the nose. She should take the initiative and deliberately say in front of Fu Rong that Mo Fang belonged to her! Fu Rong was shocked to hear that. How could a bride-to-be claim someone as hers before the wedding? Fu Rong immediately shouted at Xing Zhi, demanding to call off the marriage. Shen Li didn't expect that Fu Rong was also in the military camp.
Fu Rong claimed that she happened to pass by and had the freedom to wander around. When Xing Zhi heard Shen Li claiming Mo Fang as hers, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He then saw how Shen Li treated the soldiers in the military camp with great kindness, even getting close to them. Xing Zhi couldn't control himself and heard Shen Li proposing a sparring match in the military camp. She promised to reward the winner with alcohol.
Xing Zhi deliberately stepped onto the platform and sparred with Shen Li. Xing Zhi's actions surprised Shen Li, but in ten moves, she couldn't defeat him. Xing Zhi moved gracefully, each move exquisite and lightning-fast, winning the admiration and approval of everyone present.
Instead of asking for alcohol, Xing Zhi asked Shen Li three questions. He asked about the relationship between Shen Li and the soldiers she had just talked about. The two soldiers didn't understand what Xing Zhi was getting at. They were married men, and clearly, they were their lord's men. Shen Li honestly replied that they were colleagues. But when Xing Zhi pointed to Mo Fang and asked about his relationship with Shen Li, she immediately understood. She had just claimed Mo Fang as hers, and Xing Zhi clearly had some objections. However, she had rejected Mo Fang not long ago, and now she couldn't trouble him in front of everyone. Shen Li had no choice but to say that they were also colleagues.
Xing Zhi got the answers he wanted, and everyone went to drink with the lord. Fu Rong thought Xing Zhi had cleared up her confusion and thanked him sincerely. But when she heard Xing Zhi calmly say that he had already written a letter to Tian Jun, reporting everything he had said and done in the Spirit Realm, Fu Rong felt like she had been struck by lightning and couldn't say a word.
