Fengjiu has no choice but to accept the demon lord’s challenge, which is a guaranteed defeat for her. At this time, Liansong reminds everyone of a fox clan’s rule that even the fox people don’t seem to remember: husbands and wives are allowed to fight alongside their partners in these competitions. Thanks for single-handedly saving the whole fox kingdom, Third Uncle. Or… he could just be making all this up, we don’t know.
Donghua doesn’t wait to be asked, he sharpens in sword and appears next to Fengjiu right away. Either because he wants to help Fengjiu or he wants to teach this demon lord a lesson for wearing his trademarked color.
The demon lord expresses that it isn’t fair since not only is Donghua stronger than most people here, Donghua is also not of the same generation as him. Dude’s got a point.
But a rule is a rule, especially when it works in the protagonists’ favour. The demon lord has to either take it or leave it.
He takes it. Donghua and Fengjiu easily feat the demon lord and restore Qingqiu’s honor.
In a meeting afterwards, Fengjiu’s parents seem happy that someone wants to marry her after all, but Fengjiu’s father wonders what kind of future Donghua is going to give her. Why, a purple one, of course.
When the question is posed to Donghua, he says he can’t make any fancy promises, but that he will do his best to ensure Fengjiu always has the freedom to do whatever she wants. So basically he’s going to give her the one thing her family has already given her too much of?
Anyway, it’s a practical promise and it sounds better than “I won’t let you down” or whatever Peach Blossom men like to say.
In the demon realm, the other demon lords are starting to suspect the bad one. Jiheng’s brother fears something unfortunate will happen soon, so he asks Xiaoyan to take care of Jiheng. Jiheng’s family really needs to stop tossing this responsibility to other people all the time. Last time, it was the father who asked Donghua to “take care” of her, now the brother is bothering Xiaoyan about it?
On that same day, Donghua’s assistant comes to update them on some security issues of the world. Wait, no, he just comes to give them Donghua’s wedding invitation.
Donghua and Fengjiu themselves are playing hide and seek on an open meadow.
