In that scene underwater where they almost kissed (uuuggh I wish he did!!!!! I think she would have truly realized she loved him if they did..)…anyway after he purposely mocked her and she found out she. An breathe and flak underwater she said to him” you did this on purpose .I hate this etc)…what was that supposed to meant. Why she suddenly mad?
She's already a little embarrassed and frustrated earlier in the scene (when she thinks XL is trying to force her to kiss him for air again). Then when he rejects her kiss she's even more embarrassed. And finally when XL explains and she realizes she misunderstood him (and that he maybe made her misunderstand on purpose instead of just telling her that she could breathe under water) she's even more embarrassed and upset. And XL laughing at her just makes it so much worse.

After some time, Xiao Yao felt the water pressure gently squeezing her. She held her breath until it was almost gone and she pointed to the surface to go up. Xiang Liu grabbed her hand and wouldn’t let her go up.
Xiao Yao furiously stared at him, was he trying to force her…..to do that?
Xiang Liu smiled and pulled Xiao Yao down with him deeper. Xiao Yao’s face was turning blue and white and her brain was fighting with itself – kiss or no kiss?
Back then it was because of her promise to Jing, but now it was all in the past and Jing was married. There was no reason for her to suffer for it anymore and risk her own life…. Xiao Yao made her decision and pulled on Xiang Liu’s arm and used it to propel her closer to him.
Xiang Liu stood in the water and smiled at her. Xiao Yao was embarrassed and frustrated and lowered her eyes because she didn’t dare look at him. Right as she was about to kiss Xiang Liu, he suddenly turned his head and avoided her kiss and then started laughing loudly.
Xiao Yao was so embarrassed she decided to just go die! She shook off his hand and didn’t swim upward but instead dove deeper.
Xiang Liu chased behind her and chuckled as he said, “Don’t suffocate yourself to death! Try breathing. I didn’t let you swim up, not because I wanted to force you to…..kiss me.” Xiang Liu’s laughter rang out again. “It’s because you don’t need to do that anymore.”
Xiao Yao tried breathing and it was just like when she put the fish amethyst in her mouth. She could breathe underwater like fish. Xiao Yao realized that when Xiang Liu gave her his essential soul blood, she gained some of his powers. From now on, she could be like the daughter of the sea and swim in the water in complete freedom.
But at the moment Xiao Yao wasn’t happy about that, but instead was so embarrassed about what she just tried to do that she would rather slam her head in the water and kill herself.
Xiao Yao was so furious she screamed. “Xiang Liu, you….you did that on purpose! I hate you!” She finished yelling and realized she was just like Xiang Liu and could now talk underwater.
“I, I can talk!” Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment and then back to being furious. “Xiang Liu, I hate you! How dare you keep laughing? If you keep laughing, I’ll….I’ll…..” Xiao Yao couldn’t think of anything she could use to torment him. He played the world and wanted for nothing, the only thing he cared about was the Sheng Nong resistance army, but even if Xiao Yao had ten guts she didn’t dare to use the army to threaten Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu was still laughing and Xiao Yao was still so mortified and humiliated that she turned and started swimming away, only thinking she never wanted to see Xiang Liu again.
Xiang Liu called out “Fine, I’ll stop laughing” but his voice was still full of mirth.
