Long Summary
We open to Ka Suo confrontong Fire Princess yan Da and demanding his brother.  As Li Luo said, it was a trap.  He is imprisoned in fire, but somehow Li Luo shows up (how did she escape?) to rescue him.

Yan Da discovers the magically grown up body of Shi (he somehow hit puberty) and Li Luo (who seems to have been hired again) and Ka Suo wonder where he went.  They theorize he went to the Healer Tribe, a place they have to go to anyways to get a piece of the crystal (so Sailor Moon).

So Shi is now super hot.  Yan Da admires his sleeping beauty (who wouldn't?) she is looking for a little boy and does not realize that it is Shi!  Shi pretends to be stupid and insists that a little boy tried to steal his clothes (this scene is so silly).  She seems intent on exerting both her sex appeal and authority while questioning him--she seems to like him--and is even putting up with these word games and insists that he be her slave.  Shi maintains he knows nothing and plans to hide his identity to protect his brother (they are so close it is kind of creepy).

MEANWHILE Ka Suo has a deep moment playing the flute and Li Luo is adorable as she tries to avoid disturbing his peace but fails.  He asks her to stay by his side, so she does but wants to know why.  And now we get an explanation about how she escaped and him firing her: she admits she was disobedient and is unfit.  He  frees her from being a guardian but seems really forlorn (!).  Since he is so sad, she offers to stay with him as a friend (I think he wants to be more than friends...)

She offers to reconcile with him (I guess he doesn't know how to apologize) and they drink wine (he has never had any before, not like this).  I think she sees him as something like a lost puppy.  

The adult Shi looks not so great with his hair style.  He looks too much like a girl for me.  Anyways, Yan Da Fire Princess is having a bath and summons Shi inside (I guess this big sis is going to teach him a thing or two!)  and for reasons that make zero sense, Shi seems disinterested in the female body which must mean he is either gay or asexual because even as a woman I think she is lovely!  whats wrong with him????   he could control her with his body!  yan da insists that he look at her praise her beauty but he pisses her off by saying he has seen someone more beautiful than her.  kind of like aprhodite this makes her mad.  he says his mom is more beautiful.

I think that shi is REALLY odd.

Meanwhile, Li Luo explains she got there because of her 'Turnip' or unicorn horse.  They arrive at the healing tribe (this show feels like a video game).  The healing tribe is so good they can heal gods.  At the same time, the healing tribe leaders receive princess Yan Da and states her desire to have the leaf ice crystal.  But the healing chief tells her that the crystal has been lost since many thousands of years ago and is sort of a myth among their people.  She suspects that he is trying to remain neutral.  She then switches gears and says that she would like to witness a wedding.  

There is an attack during this wedding and a beauty--Yu Shen--is defending the woman to be married.  She is  Li Healer, a person born with a deathly aura that can only harm others, thus they specialize in martial arts and poison.  They are forced to keep their distance from others because it is dangerous to be near them.  

MEANWHILE a male hottie is introduced.  He is overseeing some grandpas talking about medicine.  He is Huong Tuo.  And they are playing....a card game? About medicine?  It seems that Huong Tuo is a bit unconventional?

And they gamble with rare herbs?  Interesting.  OH this is the groom.  Who does not want to marry.  His papa is the healing tribe chief.  His father lectures him for only caring about herbs and nothing about getting married (err...curse the theme of of men not caring about sex!  all the men in China must be perverts for them to constantly have this theme in t.v. i mean the women are always strong and the men always disinterested in sex--in a country struggling with women's rights big time and population)  

Yon Da talks to her dad and learns that the healing tribe can only maintain peace through marriage.  Her mission is to ruin the marriage, cause chaos, and I guess force them to hand over this crystal.  She summons Shi next (this lady is beautiful) and gives him wine(to arouse him?)

In a show of extreme immaturity, the healing tribe heir runs off.  Meanwhile, Ka Suo and Li Luo are unable to locate Shi.  They do run into the healing prince as he tries to flee.  She uses her....gunblade? (Is this FF8?)  to stop him --

Guards show up, and Li Luo throws Ka Suo on a bed, orders him to strip, and they pretend like they are husband and wife about to have sex while the prince hides under the bed.  It fails, the prince comes out and he agrees to return with the guards.  He thanks them for attempting to help them.  And then attacks the pressure points of the guards before they escape.  

Wanted posters are up of Li Luo and the prince.  Now they reveal that they want to see the head of the tribe, and the prince is confident that he can help them.  Meanwhile, the woman to be married, Yue, is very upset.  She is convinced she is undesirable.  Yu Shen tells her big sister that everything will be fine.  (Everyone really is quite pretty in this drama).

Miss Yue, the bride, is supposed to take tranquilizing soup to ease her pain.  She drinks what clearly looks like poison (based off off the music too) and it seems like Shi brought it to her so...

This gets a 7.5 because it was one of those episodes clearly setting up for bigger events.  And because I thought that the healer tribe prince was really annoying.
