@Yara_B "I don't want to get too deep or philosophical but this subject was my college major at one point and so I'm pretty passionate about human nature and the complexity behind the infamous debate of "is evil born or made". Haha "
You and me both. I'm always interested in human minds and that debate, "is evil born or made". It's actually a very thought-provoking question to ponder. This is why characters like XL and Xuan are great examples to be discussed.
I think all of us here are a few of the ones who really understand XL's characterization. The things he did to Wen Xiao Liu in the earlier episodes are pretty much understandable if you put yourself in his shoes. Too bad some people are only focusing on how he's abusive, violent, etc... actually forgetting that he's a demon and that's also a part of his nature, besides what he's gone through as a child that somehow shaped him to be who he is now. I am actually surprised he didn't kill XY right there and then when she trespassed his territory.
I just hope we get to see more moments between XY and XL before the grand finale. Too bad this excerpt from Chapter 19 wasn't really shown in the drama.
When she was with Fang Feng Bei, Xiao Yao often forgot her identity and she would feel like she was still Wen Xiao Liu except wearing girl clothes… Xiao Yao knew Fang Feng Bei was Xiang Liu, but because this wasn’t the battlefield and he wasn’t being a cold and ruthless battle god, it was like he took off his armor and resumed living the ordinary life as well.
