I was wondering why Xiao Run's father was not present during his son's wedding.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't like Xun Feng and Dayin. They both only see what they want to see and only believe what they want to believe. Xun Feng is not as patriotic as he claims to be. Rong Hao once said that Xun Feng deliberately held back sending a whole troop of soldiers during the war 30000 years ago, which led to the Moon Tribe getting the short end of the stick and loosing the war. If he truly cared for his people, would he have prioritized his personal revenge towards his brother over the safety and victory of his people in the War, and delayed sending the troops? He stubbornly believed that DFQC killed his Father for the throne and refused to see the truth behind his father's death and how much it pained his brother. He was consumed by his own personal hatred towards his brother and implicated his people for his personal revenge. He was thinking only for himself, not his people. Can he still be called patriotic?
He was also very biased against XLH from the start and always wanted to get rid of her. It seemed like he was feeling guilty for being partly responsible for loosing the war 30000 years ago and the sealed soldiers, so he projected his guilt onto XLH and forced her to sacrifice herself. Sorry, I tried to like him, but with the way he bahaved so insolently towards XLH in ep 31, I can't help but hate him.
Coming to Dayin, she is self-absorbed in her obsession with CH and jealous of XLH, so she clings onto any narrative which paints XLH and DFQC in a bad light. I still can't understand why she was so convinced that XLH is a traitor, or that DFQC caused harm to the Fairy Realm. It's as if she's searching for reasons to hate on XLH and DFQC. A bigger mystery for me is why she even joined the War this time. I didn't like seeing the Moon Tribe women getting slaughtered by her sword. Honestly, I was happy when she died for a while, but I didn't like it when she resurrected with the rest when XLH sacrificed herself. Yes, I'm bitter that Dayin gets to live at the cost of XLH's life. Sorry, I tried to like her too, and I actually did start liking her when she somewhat helped XLH in the starting episodes, but her character just keeps getting worse, I din't see much character development for her till now. I was especially annoyed with her today, when she pushed away Jieli and behaved rudely towards her in ep32.
I thought I wouldn't cry, but man, her death scene was so painful to watch😢! XLH wanting to bask in the sun during the last moments of her life and DFQC taking her to the highest place to help her bask in the sun for one last time😢, ohh my heart! Their scenes in DFQC's dream were so bitter-sweet. DFQC looked so happy, he didn't want to let go of her, even if it was just his dream🥺. I wish these babies get a happy ending!
Just when I thought that the sets and graphics can't get anymore beautiful, they gave us the Arbiter Hall in ep32. All I can say is that it looked MAGICAL! But, did they cut off the scenes where DFQC and CH mentioned about fireflies guiding them and a boat with flower cakes crossing them?
Also, in ep16, in the scene where the Head of the widowed Hunters questions DFQC, did anyone else notice a cresent moon symbol appearing for a split second between her eyebrows? I wonder what that was about.

Yeah, I was thinking that he lied to Xun Feng about sacrificing her, and locked her up to make sure that she stays away from the battlefield, but then read other comments saying that he did it to make her stop loving him and take off the bracelet on her own, and that explains it better.
One of the wedding gifts presented to XLH in ep28, was the Yuehua Pill, which could detoxify any poison in the three realms, so that can be used to cure Jieli of her poisoning.

"tortoise thingy" - LMAO😂!

Noo! Are they really going to leave us hanging like this?? This is the worst cliffhanger ever! How am I supposed to survive till next week😭? Don't tell me that DFQC was ACTUALLY contemplating on sacrificing XLH and ordered Xun Feng to lock her up and destroy her plants😲! After all that they went through together, I didn't expect this! I really hope he was lying to Xun Feng about sacrificing her, please don't tell me he really meant it😭! I hope he locked her up just to make sure that she stays away from the battlefield.
On the other hand, I'm so happy that Jieli chose not to betray XLH in the end, and protected both XLH and SQ. She's one smart cookie. Why can't DFQC also think about ways to protect both Moon Tribe and XLH, instead of contemplating to sacrifice XLH? Isn't he is smarter than Jieli? I wonder how Jieli will cure her Poison spell now. Hope she tells about her poisoning to SQ early on, so that he can find a way to save her.
I've also been wondering about CH's Mom. They told that she ran away from the Fairy Realm, so I wonder where she ran away and why. They didn't show anything about DFQC's Mom too. Is it possible that CH's Mom is also DFQC's Mom? Perhaps CH's Mom ran away to Moon Tribe and met DFQC's father there. That would even explain why CH's brother sent CDNZ to attack Moon Tribe, back when DFQC's father was alive. Then, that would make CH and DFQC to be half-brothers, and maybe then they would join hands together to take down CH's ludicrous brother.
I'm also wondering whether the Elder Leader of the widowed women of Moon Tribe is DFQC's caretaker maid whom his father ordered to kill. I had always been thinking that his father might've spared her life secretly. She did tell previously that DFQC's Dad used to take him to their place when he was young, and that young DFQC played with her son. Well, I'm just rambling because the 4-days wait is killing me!!

A lot happened in today's episodes, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Dayin's Mom looks like Jieli🥴, lol! I'm negatively surprised by Jieli and highly disappointed in her for being a spy of the Heishi city Master and betraying XLH. She could have told them the truth, and DFQC or Shang Que could have helped her in finding an antidote for her poison. There's nothing in the 3 realms which SQ is not capable of finding. He even obtained almost all the pieces of an ancient sword scattered around the 3 realms, he could very well obtain an antidote for her poison.
Ep 28 taught me that falling in love is too costly, it literally costs you your bones, lol😜! The love they have for each other is endearing. The cliffhanger is illegal, thankfully there are episodes airing tomorrow.

Regarding XLH's dream, it was about her past incarnation, Xi Yun/Xishan Goddess. Chidi woman was friends with Xi Yun's parents/caretakers, so she frequently visited them and played with Xi yun. That's the reason XLH dreamed about Chidi woman.

Rewatching ep 26, and just realized that in the scene where XLH fights the evil spirit, at the end of the fight, some kind of spirit enters into DFQC's Hellfire bracelet which XLH is wearing. I wonder whether that spirit is the residual evil spirit or Chidi woman's primordial spirit. Rong Hao said that he placed Chidi woman's primordial spirit in a place where no one could have guessed, and maybe that place is XLH's bracelet. If not, then it must be the residual evil spirit which attacked them, and this spirit might cause a problem for them in the future.

Her wedding dress was BEAUTIFUL!! The dark-green and red combo never goes wrong!! Her headpiece was dazzling with the multi-coloured pearls and it fit perfectly with her dress. No wonder DFQC told her that she looked the most beautiful in her wedding dress. He looked stunning in his red-golden wedding dress too. The whole set for the wedding was designed and shot beautifully!
In the starting of ep 25, I was getting pretty annoyed with her lack of trust in him even after he promised her that he wouldn't hurt Xiao Run as he was a mortal. I was getting frustrated that she was so gullible and chose to believe Rong Hao's BS over DFQC's words, and I was about to throw my hands. BUT, I was positively surprised when she stopped him from drinking the poisoned wine and chose to talk it out. PHEW!! Glad that she chose to stand beside him no matter what!
That kiss!! It's still giving me butterflies🥰! And they are back to Moon Palace. I can't get enough of their Moon tribe costumes and XLH's jewellery! I loved both the episodes today! Looks like his brother is going to pull out something stupid to hurt XLH, I can sense trouble coming ahead.

Yeah, it's quite confusing about who is who😛. The reason I'm thinking DFQC is Yannv, is because he is the only one in the Moon Tribe besides Yannv, who had the ability to master the Hellfire. Also, both DFQC and Yannv belong to the Moon Tribe. While Chonghua and XLH belong to the Fairy realm. I think gender is of little importance during reincarnations. Like XLH tells Jieli that Danyi reincarnated as a man in the mortal realm. So, it's possible for a gender switch during reincarnations, I guess😛.
Regardless, one thing we can predict, is that they both might be the reincarnations of Yannv and Chonghua, hehe.

Yep, I'm curious too. And the wait for the next episodes is killing me! I was too spoiled by the daily dose of 2 episodes till now, so the wait feels like eternity, hehe😛.

No, they didn't yet show anything about who put the Heart Curse on DFQC. I commented on this topic a couple of days back, so I'm just copying it here -
They only showed "how" the Heart Curse got activated between them, the kiss activated the curse, but it's not yet revealed about "why" they are cursed, and why it exists only between those two and not anyone else. One thing for sure is that XLH didn't actively cast that curse on DFQC that day when they first met in the prison tower. She told him that she had only read about it in the books and doesn't know how to cast it or unlock it personally. This means that DFQC had it for a long time, and maybe, he was born with it, and it only got activated after kissing XLH accidentally in the Prison tower.
I think that XLH has been reincarnated more than once, and Xi Yun(the Goddess of Xishan) is not her first incarnation. Jieli told XLH that the First Master of Moon Tribe, Yannv, made the heart-hidden pin to hide her feelings from her lover Chonghua of the Fairy Realm. This means that even Chonghua could feel Yannv's emotions just like how DFQC can feel XLH's emotions, which indicates that there was a Heart Curse between them too. This suggests that DFQC might be the reincarnation of Yannv and XLH might be the reincarnation of Changhua, which might be the reason why DFQC has the Heart Curse.

Yeah, they only showed 'how' it got activated between them, the kiss activated the curse, but it's not yet revealed about 'why' they are cursed, and why it exists only between those two and not anyone else. I think that the FL has been reincarnated more than once, and Xi Yun is not her first incarnation. So, don't know whether everyone from the Xilan clan can cast that curse, or if it's only FL's one of the past incarnations who could do that due to being a reincarnation of Changhua.
One thing for sure is that XLH didn't actively cast that curse on him that day in the prison tower. This means that DFQC had it for a long time, and maybe, he was born with it, and it only got activated after kissing XLH accidentally in the Prison tower. This suggests that he might be the reincarnation of Yannv and XLH might be the reincarnation of Changhua.

Even I was thinking the same! Jieli told XLH that the First Master, Yannv made the heart-hidden pin to hide her feelings from her lover Chonghua. This means that even Chonghua could feel Yannv's emotions just like how DFQC can feel XLH's emotions. This couldn't be just a coincidence right? Also, it isn't yet shown about why the Heart Curse got activated between the ML and FL.
This also makes me wonder about how and why exactly could Chonghua feel Yannv's emotions and whether they both were also under the effect of the Heart Curse.

Yep, CH's brother definitely knows about everything which conspired, and maybe was even a part of it all. Agree, DFQC wanting revenge for XLH is also understandable. If he didn't show up that day, they would have killed her and shattered her spirit, by labelling her as a spy.
I loved his grand entry that day when he said, "How dare you hurt my girl!". Ooo, I was swooning during that scene🥰, haha!

Yes, I wouldn't want innocent people to be harmed, be it from Shuiyuntian or Moon Tribe. I think even DFQC doesn't want to hurt the innocent, so he's trying to put an end to all this once and for all, by taking down those hypocrites in power. He saw how the families of his soldiers were suffering due to the constant wars, and felt guilty for being locked away for all these years and not being able to protect his Tribe for 30000 years. So, he is now trying to seal Chidi woman's spirit to unlock her curse and release all his soldiers who got stuck/froze during their War.
He also assured XLH that he would pardon innocent fairies from Shuiyuntian, if they surrendered to him without fighting till death.

I find this Chidi woman to be very shady. The fact that she was the one who first led the Shuiyuntian army to attack the Moon Tribe, when DFQC's father was still the Moon Supreme, indicates that there was some conspiracy plotted against the Moon Tribe. Also the fact that she is Rong Hao's lover and an acquaintance to Xi Yun's parents, makes her even more suspicious. I think, maybe she and Rong Hao conspired against the Moon tribe and also have a hand in Xi Yun and her family's death. Not to mention, Rong Hao was also the first one to recognize that XLH is the reincarnation of Xi Yun and wanted to kill her so desparately. This suggests that he and Chidi woman were well acquainted with Xi Yun, and have a bad past with her.
Shuiyuntian clan are the biggest hypocrites here. They claim to be righteous and demonify the Moon Tribe, but I find it to be the complete opposite. Jeili already told XLH, the truth about how the Shuiyuntian clan were the ones who first started the whole war by betraying the Moon Tribe's first Master. Pretty understandable why the first Master became full of hatred and sought revenge against Shuiyuntian by cutting off her emotional roots and mastering the Hellfire.
I also understand why DFQC wants to take down the Fairy Realm. Apart from the fact that revenge is his Tribe's mission as pay back for the injustice done to them, he is also aware of how the Fairy Realm is corrupted, and will attack the Moon Tribe if he backs off now. The war is bound to happen in the future, even if DFQC doesn't attack Shuiyuntian. Because that clan is filled with power-hungry hypocrites with twisted morals, who would attack the Moon Tribe, even if DFQC declared that he wanted peace and wouldn't continue to seek revenge .

Even I didn't understand that part. It was shown that her primordial spirit was still intact after being taken out, but later DFQC, after hearing XLH's explanation, says that he now understood why it "almost" vanished after being taken out. So, based on his words, it "almost" vanished, but because he didn't pull it out completely, it still remained intact, ig. IDK, that part is confusing.

There is something very endearing about the way he looks at her even when he is scolding her. On the surface, it seems like he is yelling at her, but you can sense his deep love and concern towards her in his eyes and in his tone of voice. I find it romantic too!

I find the interior of the Moon Palace and the whole of the Cangyan Sea city to be breathtakingly beautiful! The inside of the Palace has a very Arabian feel to it and I'm completely captivated by it's aesthetics. Whoever designed the sets of the Moon Palace has done their job meticulousy. Each and every detail is alluring! Especially the fountain in episode 16, where Lan Hua gives an orchid plant to DFQC. The light coming through the window and reflecting on the fountain illuminated the whole room and made it to look magical. Even the Palace maids' outfits have an Arabian vibe to them.
Well, this is just my personal preference, but the Fairy Land gives off cold vibes to me due to all the white tones(though that's how it's supposed to look). The only time I loved it's aesthetics was during the sunrise scene, when DFQC took LH to the highest place in the Fairy Land to watch the sunrise. Whereas, the Cangyan city and the Moon Palace give off a very warm vibe, with more sunlight, which is aesthetically very pleasing to the eye.
LH looks even more beautiful in her Moon Tribe costumes and jewellery. She sure suits her Moon Queen image.
