Tushan Jing and Xiao Yao's romance

 Symbolika1:

That doesn't make sense...do script writers (if they really wrote this ...) think the audience won't relate and not ask it self: what happened with CX's bug when he had it-why is it different, and how??? They showed us enough in the drama for people to remember it. He was the first one to get it ! I 'm nearly laughing pffff....so sad.

I feel like the dialogue as liddi translated it is ambiguous. XL can definitely feel XY's pain and emotions. But would XY feel both XL's pain and his emotions if he wasn't blocking them from coming through the connection? XL seems to be suggesting that she would. But that suggestion might be misleading.

He's definitely goading TSJ, and TSJ knows that XL's words and the things he's implying might not be totally true. 

We know for sure that if TSJ did stab XL as XL suggests (TSJ would never risk it, but if he did...), XL wouldn't let XY feel the pain of that stab even if the natural state of the bug connection would normally pass his pain on to her. 

So it's left inconclusive. Another opportunity for fans to speculate and come up with their own interpretations. 

 AH :

liddi is erring on the side of believing that it is real because of how detailed it is. But we know that it's not confirmed and we won't know how things will actually play out in the drama until it airs. 

Here are the latest part, just leaving them here:

Leaked script Ep15  (originally S2 Ep23)

Xiang Liu sat by the shores of Gourd Lake drinking, with Furball by his side, recalling the time when he went to Chi Chen's old home.

Chi Chen's bamboo residence

Xiang Liu pushed the door open and took in the sight in the house. He saw the small wooden horse, picked up the small drum and shook it before putting it down. At last, he came before the portrait and stared at it for a while. With a wave of the hand, spiritual energy brushed over the portrait, and Xi Ling Heng's figure appeared by Chi Chen's side. Xiang Liu lit 3 incense sticks, and paid his respects to them as one of the younger generation.

Back by the lake, Xiang Liu continued drinking, loneliness etched on his face. Furball nudged the empty wine bowl to Xiang Liu's hand, prompting him to fill it up. Xiang Liu then lifted his wine bottle to Furball in a toast with a sad smile.

XL: Since we cannot be together forever, it is better to separate and forget each other rather than meet in battle.

Xiang Liu lifted up his wine bottle in a toast.

Later, Xiao Yao, Jing, the Gao Xin king and Cang Xuan also came to the bamboo residence. Xiao Yao and Cang Xuan bowed and paid their respects to Chi Chen's portrait.

The Gao Xin king finally told Cang Xuan that he always intended for Cang Xuan to become his successor. However, his ministers would never agree, so he needed Cang Xuan to force their hand with his military might.

lol y’all still believe that leaked script? Somebody’s obviously trolling. 

Lol some conversations look details. .Thinking about it as it..it's not actually that bad...I am now evening imagining the it is going. . I only hope that it gives justice to all of us. ..fans..and yep us YaoJing too? ..I am ready for S2...but why the wait is so long?

 Winny Aye:

why the wait is so long

Yeah ! Next time I promise myself to only watch when all the story is complete...

I have been so intrigued with rereading YaoJing romance scenes. .I have to reread YaoLiu scene. ..I was reading chapter 22. It has one of the most YaoLiu intimate scene I guess although she's unconscious.  XL was most gentle to her here. I have enjoyed the scene actually. I could feel their bond, exploring inside ocean was beautiful,  but not as romantic  as YaoJing scene . I am following her emotions. (I was watching  YaoJing YT vids However I encountered a comment like YaoLiu is soulmate romance and YaoJing is commitment) well to me.YaoJing is romantic commitment. ..I think I need to feel YaoLiu again ..so yep...I still do not feel romantic as in YaoJing feel...although I can feel XL feelings. ..from XY is still vague for me..(maybe because Im yaojing bias)

 I want to share the scenes...

Every twenty or thirty days Xiang Liu would heal her. When he was healing her, they ought to be very intimate because Xiao Yao could feel he was tightly embracing her. She could feel him from top to bottom. But during normal days Xiang Liu wouldn’t hold her, at most he could caress her forehead and cheeks.
Gradually Xiao Yao felt more and more alert. When Xiang Liu was embracing her, she could feel his body heat, and could also clearly feel what the warmth was that was flowing into her body. It was Xiang Liu’s blood, and it was different than normal blood. It was scalding hot, and every drop felt like a little flame. Xiao Yao guessed it was Xiang Liu’s essential soul blood.

 Winny Aye:

Um..After YaoLiu encountering the mercouple doing that. I wonder why XL reminded her of Jing. Is it really because he wants her to think of Jing since he will be making her wake up. ..or is he doing it as a test to see her emotions and reactions towards Jing ?

I felt like he brought up TSJ then because he had decided to wake her up that evening to send her back to TSJ to save him.

Who knows how many more years passed and Xiao Yao gradually felt her own legs. She tried to wiggle her toes and it wasn’t clear if it moved. She couldn’t ask Xiang Liu to check for her. But regardless of whether it moved or not, she felt that her body was close to awakening.

One day Xiang Liu came back but instead of his usual touching her forehead and cheeks, he instead quietly stared at her. Xiao Yao couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, but she knew he was deciding something.

Xiang Liu picked up Xiao Yao “Tonight is a full moon. I’ll take you out to play!”

Xiao Yao was confused, wasn’t the full moon a night for healing?

Xiang Liu took her all over to stroll around, sometimes leisurely swimming in the ocean, other times heading up to the surface to rise and fall with the waves.

Tonight was different than usual in that he talked a lot. Every time they got to a place he would start talking.

“Here is a seaweed the size of your pallet in Qing Shui Town. If you like it, in the future you can use it to make a pallet.”

“A monster fish, and his fish inside is even better than the fish amethyst you wear. But from now on you won’t need this stuff anymore.”

A strange sound reached them from within the water, it wasn’t the sound of musical instruments or the sound of people singing. But it was even more alluring than musical instruments, and even more pure and soulful than people singing. It was so beautiful as to defy description, it was the most beautiful sound Xiao Yao had ever heard in her life.

Xiang Liu said “It’s mating season for the merpeople. This is the sound of their mating song and is purportedly the most beautiful sound in the world. The humans and the gods cannot ever hear it. Perhaps after you awaken you will be able to hear it.”

Xiang Liu took Xiao Yao out for a long time and they didn’t return until late into the night.

“Xiao Yao, do you remember Tu Shan Jing? Wen Xiao Liu’s Ye Shi Qi? Since you’ve been sleeping, he’s also been unconscious. His life has been maintained by spiritual medicines until now but it’s almost at the limit. He’s at the brink of death.”

Jing, Jing……Xiao Yao didn’t feel sad when she died, life has its beginning so it must have an end. It didn’t start happy and need not end sad. But right now she was very sad, she didn’t want Jing to die.

Xiao Yao tried to move.

Xiang Liu asked “If he died, would you be really sad and hate me to the core?”

Xiao Yao answered in her heart: I don’t want Jing to die, but I also won’t hate you.

Xiang Liu said “Tonight I’m waking you up.”

@AH

I felt like he brought up TSJ then because he had decided to wake her up that evening to send her back to TSJ to save him.

Hmm...so I guess XL is determined that YaoJing should be together. ..?❤️

 Winny Aye:

Hmm...so I guess XL is determined that YaoJing should be together. ..?❤️

Yes, I'd say that's the point in the novel where we know for sure that XL had decided to push XY to be with TSJ. 

 Winny Aye:

I see..it should be. I am confused between and XL and TSJ...but yeo since Yaoliu has bugs connection and he's the one taking her..so it should be his heartbeat.

Yep. And she feels his heartbeat again when her sense of awareness re-emerges while he's healing her. 

-----

She could vividly sense her heart slowly weakening, but just as it was about to stop, she heard another heart beating. It was strong and powerful, leading her heart so that it wouldn’t completely stop. It was like a sole flame in the palms of the hand, seemingly about to be extinguished at any moment, but still flickering weakly with life.

Xiao Yao felt that she heard Xiang Liu snarking at her: Just this and you’re going to give up?

Xiao Yao retorted back at him: What do you mean just this? If you’ve been poked so many holes in like a sieve, air passing through both top and bottom, even if I don’t want to give up I have to give up.

She really had no strength left, so that even the weak sole flame that was keeping her heart beating was too much to sustain. Even with another heart guiding her heart, still the heartbeat grew weaker.

Suddenly power coursed through her, unending streams of power that allowed the weak heartbeat to continue beating.

She couldn’t hear it, couldn’t see it, couldn’t even feel it, but she felt sad because the spiritual power was so sad and devastated. Even the power was crying and Xiao Yao couldn’t even imagine how heartbroken the owner of the spiritual power was.

Xiao Yao wanted to see who was so sad but didn’t have the strength. She could only follow the guidance of the other heart and slowly locked herself up. Just like a flower blooming, the reverse process was to return to being a bud, into a seed, back into the soil, laying in the Winter to wait for the Spring to arrive.

Xiao Yao couldn’t hear, couldn’t see, couldn’t feel, but she still felt unbearable.

It was like sleeping, except in real sleep one couldn’t feel the passing of time, but when one’s body was sleeping but the conscious wasn’t, then it was like being locked up in a coffin and buried into the ground. Conscious sleeping was so unbearable!

In the pitch black darkness, time had no beginning and no end, and everything became forever.

Xiao Yao didn’t know how long she had been in the darkness, and she didn’t know how much longer she needed to be there. She was trapped in forever, and Xiao Yao realized for the first time how scary forever was. Just like eating duck neck was a really enjoyable thing to do, but if eating duck neck became something she did forever without an end, then it’s not enjoyable at all and would instead be a truly scary torture.

In the unending darkness, Xiao Yao felt like a hundred years had passed. If her conscious could commit suicide, she would have killed herself. But she could do nothing other than stay like this forever. She started to hate the person who saved her.

One day Xiao Yao suddenly felt something, like a little bit of warmth entered her body from the outside. It slowly took away the icy cold and Xiao Yao greedily clung onto that warmth.

Every so often the warmth would flow into her. Even though the waiting was long, but the warmth always came so even the long wait wasn’t scary anymore.

The warmth entered her time and time again. She didn’t know how much time passed but her heart gradually got stronger. It was like the flickering sole flame had a cover placed over it, so even if the light wasn’t as bright at least the flame was no longer in danger of being extinguished.

One time as the warmth entered her, Xiao Yao felt another heart beating. Her heart soared as if she was encountering an old friend.

Xiao Yao wanted to laugh: Xiang Liu, is it you? I’ve healed you so many times, now it’s finally your turn to repay me.

Time and time again, Xiao Yao didn’t know how much time passed but she felt time was so slow!

In the unending darkness, every time Xiang Liu came to heal her became the only time she felt like she was still alive, because she felt another heart beating.
