Episode 6 recap: The lotus spirit sacrifices for love.
Xingyun felt that Shen Li shouldn't have beaten the lotus spirit, but Shen Li has always been decisive in her actions and skilled at using force to solve problems. She told the lotus spirit to leave quickly, and she would tell Gu Chengjin that she had killed her. Tears streamed down the lotus spirit's face. She knew that Gu Chengjin was only using her as a medicinal ingredient to save people, but she still wanted to see Gu Chengjin one last time. Shen Li tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail. She finally agreed to let the lotus spirit meet Gu Chengjin again and see the woman who made her jealous to death.
Shen Li made the lotus spirit invisible and then told Gu Chengjin that the lotus spirit was dead. She asked Gu Chengjin to leave as soon as possible. Gu Chengjin was already heartbroken, and he didn't want to go anywhere else. The woman he deeply loved was here, and he wanted to die together with her. The lotus spirit heard this and felt completely hopeless. She impulsively grabbed Gu Chengjin's neck, but how could she bring herself to harm the man she fell in love with at first sight? In the end, the lotus spirit sacrificed herself for her beloved.
Finally, Shi Yin woke up, and Gu Chengjin realized that it was the lotus spirit who had saved him. Faced with the rising light, he felt lost. Xingyun had just been invaded by miasma, and his wrist was corroded with a bluish-purple color. Shen Li took him back to the Jinyue Mansion, where she used her skills to heal him. Seeing that Xingyun had temporarily improved, Shen Li understood that she couldn't stay any longer. The pursuers from the spirit world were constantly searching for her, and if a battle broke out by Xingyun's side, his weak body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The pursuers from the spirit world indeed arrived in great numbers. Mo Fang did his best to delay them, while Shen Li followed closely behind. She summoned local gods, including the earth fairy, and ordered them to quickly rescue Xingyun in the Jinyue Mansion. After all, he was a prince, and the earth fairy dared not disobey. They immediately agreed to expel the strong poison from Xingyun's body within half an hour. Shen Li told the earth fairy to find the man in the blue clothes under the pavilion. With only half an hour left, the earth fairy hurriedly went to save him.
Unexpectedly, two unexpected guests appeared on the way. One was called Qingyan, and the other was Chirong. Both were notorious demons. They asked the earth fairy to deliver a message to Shen Li. If Shen Li didn't hurry up and come, they would take Xingyun hostage, and they couldn't guarantee his safety.
Soon, Shen Li heard the news and saw frequent anomalies in the celestial realm. She guessed that Mo Fang and the pursuers must have clashed, and Xingyun was still in danger. Shen Li had to betray and fly back to the old place to rescue Xingyun and free him from captivity.
Shen Li arrived by Xingyun's side, and Chirong and Qingyan relayed a message from Shen Li's mother, urging her to return quickly to complete the marriage. Otherwise, even if she had to sacrifice her limbs, they would capture her and bring her back to the spirit realm. Shen Li looked up and saw the sky filled with pursuers, densely packed like ants. In order to protect Xingyun, she cut her palm and used her own blood to forge a strong barrier, enclosing Xingyun within it.
Shen Li's mother was furious and accused Shen Li of harming her own kind. She asked if Shen Li felt guilty. Shen Li responded calmly, stating that their spirit realm had been subordinate to the immortal realm for tens of thousands of years. Even the marriage matter couldn't be decided by themselves. It was all dictated by the chaotic love affairs in the immortal realm, and they were forced to guard against the sinister creatures of the immortal realm.
Every word Shen Li spoke was true, but her mother couldn't bear to listen any longer. She ordered two heavenly soldiers to immediately take away the prince. Upon hearing their conversation, Xingyun finally realized that Shen Li's identity was actually that of a prince! Despite his deep reluctance, Shen Li turned back and walked towards Xingyun. She helped him up and left a loving kiss. Shen Li told Xingyun that she was now being forced into a marriage and feared that they might not have a chance to see each other again. She hoped that he could live well.
After saying these heartbreaking words, Shen Li left. As he watched Shen Li's graceful figure recede, Xingyun was filled with overwhelming reluctance.
