Dance of the Phoenix as Text Posts Part 1

Okay, I can understand Feng Xun and Qiu Ling acting haughty and having a giggle at Yu Mingye’s cheesy, sloppily romantic line and sentiment. They are just silly kids after all. But I don’t see what prompted Feng Xun to call Mingye a “violent thug” when he was being anything but.

And then there’s this petty act:

Jun Linyuan and his little crew are bullies. Yu Mingye wasn’t actually doing anything antagonistic. Jun Linyuan is so insecure that he had to crush a measly bunch of wild daisies.

Dance of the Phoenix - Episode 6

So yes. I am weak. I decided to watch one more episode ather the cleaning. I mean... after watching something like this I will surely have sweet dreams. Maybe meet with Feng Xu or something, who knows.

Minister Bi reveals there are words that Xiaowu went to see Old Ba. He then offers them to stay at his place as he prepared nice rooms for them, but Jin Linyuan says it’s not necessary. Feng Wu Wants to protest but they decide to leave before she can say anything more.

Are we finally going to know who is this Zhao Ge girl ? Seems she was from the same school as Qingluan, but it’s not the case anymore. Zuo Qingluan wants her to come back, she would even beg their master, but Zhao Ge says it’s fine. While Mu Yao And Zuo Qingluan go take care of something, Zhao Ge leaves a note saying she’s going back to the capital by herself. Mu Yao and Zuo Qingluan are going to go to the border city.

Back in said city, Jun Linyuan and co go to see old Ba who’s still being threatened by Yu Ming Ye. Jun Linyuan forces the door open, but there is nobody inside. Then he notices the hand print left by Yu Ming Ye earlier to scare poor Old Ba. Our little prince is so smart and makes their favourite opponent come out. Again, during the fight yu Ming Ye uses Feng wu to threaten them and again Jun linyuan’s venom is acting up, but not as much since he claims her back. Yu Ming Ye escapes but Jun Linyuan says not to chase him, they need to find the celestial fruit. They ask old Ba about Feng Xiaowu, but he has a little trouble lying about it. Well in the end they leave because they heard enough and Jun Linyuan knocks on Feng Wu’s forehead. I can’t understand this guy. As they leave, Jun Linyuan’s chest hurts again and Feng Wu is like wow this guy is a male version of Lin Daiyu, which is extremely funny. Well to me. Lin Daiyu is a character from the Dream of the Red Pavilion and she’s always sick.

Feng Wu treats Jun Linyuan’s pain with acupuncture once they are back home. When she takes his pulse she feels there’s something unsusual and Feng Xun says it might be the loveless venom she made him eat back then. So she realizes that when he said she wasn’t one of them to Yu Ming Ye it was probably the curse.

Xuan Yi meets with and old man to tell him something but those screen writers won’t let us hear it DDD:

While she’s making medicine at night, Yu Ming Ye gets in her room to ask about Feng Xiao wu. He thinks their smell is similar. Is he a dog or what% But he says Feng Wu isn’t as pretty as Feng Xiaowu. They are all so dumb... But she tells him it seems Jun Linyuan found Xiaowu, so he should go and save her then. And he dropped a charm while leaving and now Jun Linyuan is finally being smart and suspects  that Feng Wu might have informed the darknight court of their whereabouts maybe and that she’s Feng Xiaowu. You’re half right... So he takes her out to look for Feng Xiaowu and she almost exposes herself.

From afar, Yu Mingye looks at them and a town’s person tells him he doesn’t stand a chance with the fifth lady. She’s loved by many as she’s nice and pretty. He follows them while Jun Linyuan tries to expose her.

Feng Liu th crazy cousin is getting more and more greedy, she even wants the pheonix chant sword for herself now and to become the next head of the family so she would be a match for Jun Linyuan.

Yu Ming Ye tries to go and save Xiaowu from the mean Jun Linyuan but both Feng Xun and Xuan Yi are waiting for him. Non-epic fight scene. Jun Linyuan joins at that moment too.

When Feng Wu comes back home, crazy cousin is ready to attack her and she wants to scar her face so Jun Linyuan won’t like her anymore. They are always that crazy, right? Side girls in dramas are really scary honestly. Qiu Ling tries to protect Feng Wu, which makes Feng Liu even more angry and crazy. Feng Wu fights her back with a pin takin from Qiu Ling’s hair.

Oh!!! EPIC FIGHTING SCENE! Nothing too crazy but the coordination there between Feng Xun, Xuan Yi and Jun Linyuan was awesome to look at.

And then it’s the end of episode 6. And no more episode. So I have no choice but to go to bed. However this is pretty annoying because this cliffhanger is killing me. I want to know what is going to happen next. This drama is really good seriously. Even though many things in the plot aren’t new, it still has somme freshness. The story really is addictive, the visuals are gorgeous, the OST is enchanting, the acting and dubbing are good. So far, 10/10!

Dance of the Phoenix — This guy just made an unbelievably dramatic entrance.

[sinistercakes]

Feng Xun is learning to cook under the guidance of Qiu Ling. Things are going well considering nothing is burning and Qiu Ling hasn’t attacked him with that giant meat cleaver. Yet. At the exact same moment, in another universe far away, Lan Jingyi is also learning to cook under the guidance of Wei Ying. This idea was clearly not ran by anyone with any sort of common sense. Things are going well. There has only been two wok fires quickly put out by a spell from Wei Ying, but not before the second fire claimed his eyebrows, and Jingyi amputated only the first joint of his left middle finger with the meat cleaver. There isn’t a huge amount of blood loss, and Wei Ying is fairly confident it won’t effect Jingyi’s fighting ability - after all, that miscreant Xue Yang lost an entire finger and it didn’t effect his fighting skills. Wei Ying is also certain he could probably reattach Jingyi’s finger tip, with the help of a needle and thread and a little bit of demonic cultivation, but Jingyi wants to see what the Lan healers can do first. Boring.

Dance of the Phoenix: A Character Guide*

*by a very biased and unreliable narrator

Part Two: The Adults**

**and a magical bird

Holy Queen Gao Sheng

The mastermind behind all the evil plots going on. Hates cultivators, despite being an allegedly powerful one herself, and uses the cultivators to destroy each other. Jun Linyuan’s step-mother. Gao Wei’s aunt. Zuo Qingluan’s boss and mentor. Has a gorgeous wardrobe. Became evil after Mu Jiuzhou rejected her love in favour of becoming immortal. Has been slowly poisoning her husband for years to take over his throne. May have a thing going on with Lord Demon. Also called Ziyan by her nephew and Lord Demon, so I’m assuming that’s her birth name and Sheng is her courtesy name.

Lord Demon

Lord of the Darknight Court. Yu Mingye’s father. Definitely not in the running for the Dad of the Year award. Values power above all else, including his son. In cahoots with Queen Sheng. Helps convert Zuo Qingluan to the Dark Side. He’s strict and both physically and mentally abusive toward Yu Mingye, using the kid as little more than a slave. Disowns and abandons Mingye after he’s seriously injured, branding him “Useless”. Apparently does love Yu Mingye in his own weird way as he’s unable to kill him at a critical moment. No actual name given but I’m guessing “Lord Demon” is the title of the master of the Darknight Court because no parents would actually name their kid “Lord Demon”. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess his surname is “Yu”. Killed some puppies, that’s how evil he is. I’ll admit he’s very attractive, and the evilness ups that hotness by at least 20%.

Mu Jiuzhou

The only cultivator to achieve immortality but was interrupted during his ascension, causing him to fall into a coma inside the Dragon Phoenix Spirit Ring. Or something. Hero and first ruler of the Qianyuan Continent. Feng Wu’s Master. Spends most of his time asleep or appearing in Feng Wu’s subconscious to guide her. The only person to scare Lord Demon. Thankfully no relation to Mu Yao.

Colour Phoenix/Firecloud Giant Hawk

Was a badass Firecloud Giant Hawk that protected the Celestial Fruit in the Frozen Forest. Upon Feng Wu retrieving the Fruit, he goes to live inside the Dragon Phoenix Spirit Ring with Mu Jiuzhou, in the form of a little blue sparrow with a squeaky voice. Claims to be a phoenix. Acts as Feng Wu’s spirit guide and delivers her information and help at critical moments. Annoying to the point of endearment.

Holy Sovereign

King of the Qianyuan Continent. Well-meaning but kind of useless. Jun Linyuan’s dad. Does better at fatherhood than Lord Demon, but still not in the running for the Dad of the Year award either. When poisoning failed to kill him, he was simply overthrown by Queen Sheng and Lord Demon, and subsequently imprisoned. Seems to have been released so is king once more? No name given.

Gao Wei

Queen Sheng’s nephew and her righthand man when it comes to evil schemes. Head of the palace guards. Surprisingly loyal to his aunt. Was taken hostage but nobody cared. Total scumbag. Killed by a magical fan.

Wu Youdao

Bears the moniker of Ageless Child despite being both old and an adult. Very powerful master cultivator. Master Fang’s rival in chess. Has been holding a grudge against Dean Ning for decades and eventually takes a job as Junwu Academy’s librarian so that he can murder Ning and destroy the Academy. Realised Feng Wu’s actual identity and helps her discover who she is. Would’ve actually been a great mentor for her had he not hulked-out and died in a pointless bid for revenge.

Madam Feng

Feng Wu’s mother. Spends most episodes looking worried. Knows Feng Wu #2 isn’t really Feng Wu but doesn’t say anything, and continues to be a loving mother towards Feng Wu #2 regardless. Plunged her hands into fire to rescue her daughter’s necklace, knowing how precious it is to her. Take notes, Lord Demon, that’s how parenting is done.

Qiu Ling*

The Feng family’s maid and Feng Wu’s close friend. Is often an accomplice in Feng Wu’s trickery. Very loyal to Feng Wu. Teaches Feng Xun how to cook.

*I know Qiu Ling is around Feng Wu’s age but she wouldn’t fit on the other list.

Old Man Ba

Medicinal cultivator and renowned doctor. Teaches medicine and healing to Feng Wu. Might be an alcoholic. Is very much like a grandfather to Feng Wu. Has some of the best reaction shots in the show. Wonderfully sarcastic. Helps Feng Wu regain her cultivation base by using the Celestial Fruit to create the Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill. Lives for Feng Wu’s cooking.
