Eternal Love of Dream - Episode 28

So, back to the story here we are. Since lately I have mostly been binge watching, I just kept on posting on each episode separately, but still as one big piece in the end since I just continue on with what’s happening. So let me talk a little bit more about what I think about this series so far. It’s getting better. It’s definitely not perfect and I am still grieving for Ye Qingti because I don’t know, I have such a crush on this character, but I still find pleasure in watching. More actually than in the previous arc. The mortal realm part was pretty boring, nothing really happened except that Fengjiu got hurt again and again, fell more in love with Donghua even though Xuanren and Donghua are actually two rather different people. Good think about is that she became more mature and that makes her less annoyingly childish in the following episodes. I really enjoy the fact that even though she still greatly admires Donghua and likes him very much, she is less stubborn about her feelings and doesn’t try at all cost to stay near Donghua. That’s really enjoyable for me. Plus, the more we get to see of Donghua, the more interesting he is. In my opinion. I can’t help but to compare with ten miles of peach blossom, but this Donghua is actually relatable. He has lived such a long time, done so many great accomplishments that he’s most of the time  little bored and gets pleasure from teasing people. He feels less distant and actually a little bit more human. So far I can’t say that I strongly ship the two of them, but I can see how they can be a match. I am beginning to get a little more curious about how things will develop in the future.

So back to business, Chong Lin is wondering why Donghua is so concerned about where was sent Yan Chiwu and he says that it’s because he sent him to the Fanyin grotto and lost a handkerchief in the process. Then, he’s posing at the door. And I am just thinking that Fengjiu isn’t there to see it, thus you don’t need to try and be so elegant. But oh well, who doesn’t like a handsome man looking poetically in the distance? Plus I must say, the design of the palace is really beautiful. They did a really good job about that.

Yan Chiwu is convincing Fengjiu that Donghua is in love with Jiheng haha. I love this character, honestly. He’s so infatuated with Ji Heng that he finds so easily explanations to how Donghua is so attracted by the demon princess. Fengjiu says he didn’t want to give Ji Heng his spiritual fox to raise and Chiwu is like “of course that would be so Ji Heng would go to his palace to see the spiritual fox”. Donghua isn’t a guy like that, I think that if he liked someone he would be the kind to actually just take that person by his side, I can’t really picture him scheming something like this. Well, he likes making fun of people and would probably set that kind of traps on Lian Song and Siming, but the purpose is really different. Chiwu wonders why did Donghua liked that little fox so much and a very sad Fengjiu suggests that they get out of there instead of keep on babbling on.

In the clouds, Fengjiu didn’t notice she was close to a cliff and feel down. Seeing a lady in danger, Chiwu also jumps to go and save her. They end up falling on top of the second prince of the Biyi Bird clan. Woops. So they get sent to jail and it seems also that Qingqiu and the Biyi Bird clan doesn’t have a very good relationship.

Well, everything ends up nicely, the second prince lied to protect them. Then... Chiwu notices that there is a girl looking exactly like Ji Heng sitting in the corner. What is she doing there? Anyways, prince lied that they came to study and thus the queen arranges everything for them. The prince says he’ll take them but Chiwu can’t take his eyes off Ji Heng. Poor him.

So they will be stuck in there for at least 60 years. The grotto only opens like once in a while to protect the Biyi bird tribe. To forcefully get out, you would need like 3000 years of cultivating. So even though Fengjiu tries to get out, she’s really not able to. Of course, she has to end in second prince Xiangli Meng room while he’s taking a bath hahaha.

Fengjiu dreams that Ahli comes to get her, but in the end doesn’t manage to do it. She wakes up screaming.

Everyday, they they class and Fengjiu thinks the teacher isn’t fitted to teach and even angers him. Since he left, Chiwu takes the opportunity to go and see Ji Heng. However, she won’t acknowledge him at all and he plays a trick on her, which reminds them of the first time they met. She tries to drive him away, but he won’t, if she wants to stay there as a music teacher, then he’ll just stay too to protect her.

Xiangli Meng asks Fengjiu if she will register for the competition and she’s like, what competition? So they are holding a competition every ten years and this year the price is Pinpo Fruit, the exact fruit she needs to make an immortal body for Qingti. But she has to manage to convince the teacher to let her participate.

Donghua goes to the Fanyin grotto to teach. And Chong Lin feels it’s weird that Donghua wouldn’t bring him.

Jie Lu, Xiangli Meng’s cousin is planning a trap for the new teacher coming, because she doesn’t want a new one and wants the one she likes to come back again. Because of what he said, Xiangli Meng made her cry and to comfort her, he asks Fengjiu’s help to  make the plan better.
