02x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

What happened to the

"instant"?

Alright, alright,

your feather duster is practically smearing my face!

San Lang,

are you going back to the City of Ghost?

Weren't you planning to return to the Heavenly Capital?

However,

if you want to come with me to the City of Ghost,

I'd welcome that too.

Maybe next time.

If there's a chance,

I'll help you rebuild the the Paradise Manor.

No need for that.

It's just as good if you sit and watch.

About Qianqiu!

Regardless,

thank you.

I don't know what's right.

Perhaps.

This isn't too bad either.

Overthinking.

Just focus on doing what you need to do.

This guy,

he's pretty decent, huh?

How did you make friends with him?

Your Highness,

you're really lucky!

Is that so?

Probably,

I think so too.

Feng Xin,

sorry about that.

Can't argue with a superior skill.

Nothing else to say.

Alright, alright.

You two!

Go in and check if there are any stragglers left,

then we'll head back to the Heavenly Capital!

How’s it going?

Not here.

Can you believe Hua Cheng turned the tables

and claimed that Heavenly Court planted spies in the City of Ghost ?

Utterly ridiculous!

Do we, of the Heavenly Realm, need to plant spies under his command?

Sir,

maybe don't say it out loud so early.

Wind Master, you are back?

This trip to the City of Ghost,

Wind Master, you've been through a lot!

No trouble at all!

It's only natural.

In the past,

we didn't even have meetings once or twice a month.

Nowadays, accidents are happening frequently,

almost like we need to convene twice a day.

No wonder the His Majesty the Emperor is exhausted.

This Crimson Rain Sought Flower just comes

and goes as he pleases!

Today, he could effortlessly snatch

the Prince away who offended him,

wouldn't he be able to capture other Heavenly Officials tomorrow!

This matter cannot be tolerated;

we must halt it in its tracks!

With Hua Cheng having the City of Ghost under his control

and so many followers,

would he really care about a mere Paradise Manor?

I'd say,

it might not be solely because Prince offended him

that he's stormed the Heavenly Capital.

General Xuan Zhen,

you're not quite right about that!

Everyone present heard it with their own ears;

Hua Cheng admitted it himself.

Speaking of which,

whose turn is it to guard the court this month?

The entrance to Xianle Palace was ensorcelled,

connected to elsewhere,

yet no one noticed a thing.

Does

this not constitute neglect of duty?

It's me.

I'm the one on duty this month,

and I indeed neglected my duties.

Well.

I think

we should take things one step at a time.

First, let's clarify the incident at the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast.

Your Majesty,

Prince Taihua has a message.

What did he say?

He said

there's more to the incident involving the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast than meets the eye.

He will handle it himself

and hopes others won't interfere.

What more is there to it?

He didn't specify,

but he did

say not to let the Prince succeed in self-degradation.

What is that for?

- What is that for? - What is the intention of Prince Taihua?

What is the intention of Prince Taihua?

Even the aggrieved party isn't chasing the culprit for vengeance;

why are we getting worked up here?

Yeah,

and it seems Prince Taihua isn't willing to reveal the full story either.

It's like we've lost all leverage.

Xuan Zhen,

Nan Yang,

assist Ming Guang

and reinforce the vigilance in the Heavenly Capital.

Yes!

The rest of you,

continue the investigation.

Yes!

Who would have thought this Prince Xianle,

every time he causes a commotion,

the Emperor says he'll investigate,

but then nothing happens.

So he's a big deal, huh?

Indeed,

it's like can't see the forest for the trees;

in the future, we should watch what we say.

Your Majesty.

I've caused you trouble again.

This doesn't really count as trouble.

If you stubbornly insisted that you were responsible for the Blood-Soaked Golden Feast

that would be real trouble.

Actually...

The truth of the matter

is like this.

Xian Le,

the effort you put into this matter is hardly rewarded,

both inside and out.

I know.

Never mind,

you've always been like this.

Taihua is currently chasing after the Green Immor,

but have you thought about

how to handle things afterwards?

Not yet.

But for now,

I'm pondering something else.

Oh?

Something interesting,

let me share the joy.

Earth master.

Did you send Earth master to the City of Ghost?

It was me.

Why?

Because the person who first acted against the Heavenly Realm...

was Hua Cheng.

Over the years,

Hua Cheng's information has been incredibly fast

and precise.

What actions can be taken,

what can't,

where the boundaries lie,

how to brush against them.

He knows everything

he shouldn't.

This time, he even opened a direct pathway to your Xianle Palace.

How can we explain all of this if there were no undercover agents

planted by him within the Heavenly Realm?

Do you have evidence?

It's precisely because I lacked concrete evidence that

I sent Ming Yi to infiltrate the Ghost Realm.

I just didn't anticipate that

the internal traitor of the Heavenly Realm hadn't been identified yet

and Ming Yi ended up in his hands instead.

Fortunately, you managed to save him this time,

but finding Hua Cheng's spies again

will likely prove even more difficult.

Did the problem originate from

the Heavenly Realm or the Middle Realm?

Hard to say.

Except for you,

anyone else is a possibility.

Perhaps

just one,

perhaps

more.

So

even Feng Xin and Mu Qing,

anyone could be.

Xianle,

I know you must have some favorable feelings toward Hua Cheng now.

But still, be cautious

and don't reveal everything to him.

Those who become exceptional in this world,

not a single one hasn't endured suffering beyond what ordinary people can tolerate.

They either soar to the heavens

or are doomed to eternal damnation.

The Guileful Ghost King who emerged from Copper Stove Mountain,

any of them are far more terrifying than you can imagine.

I don't know Hua Cheng's intentions and actions,

but he's thoroughly aware of the Heavenly Realm's workings.

And

that's quite disadvantageous.

San Lang...

Hua Cheng,

he shouldn't do anything excessively reckless.

After all,

you see...

With his power,

if he intended to cause chaos,

he could have overturned everything long ago, right?

If he didn't before,

then

it's not likely

he will now.

I hope so,

but you know.

For the sake of three realms,

I can't take any risks.

My child,

let's go!

Mmm!

Me,

Anle,

your Master,

the three of us Xianle people,

all had a hand in it!

But what about my father and mother?

The fusion of Yong An and Xianle

was their greatest wish.

And now

their wish has come true,

but what fate awaits them?

Isn't it easier to hate just one person

than a whole group?

I deserve whatever punishment I get,

and I can't die anyway.

So why not put all the blame on me?

That fruit is delicious!

Really?

I won't lie,

it's sweet and watery.

I'll take you with me next time.

OK!

Clench your fists!

Begin!

Hands up!

Keep your legs steady!

Punch!

Exertion!

One more time!

Push the palm!

Change steps quickly!

Continue!

Father,

Mother,

I'm sorry.

I forgot to bring something to see you.

Mother,

I've encountered Qi Rong.

Over these centuries,

I don't know what he's been through.

He turned into a ghost

and caused the deaths of so many people.

Now someone wants to k*ll him,

and the Heavenly Realm probably won't spare him either.

I truly don't know how to handle this person.

What's that sound?

Mother,

is that you?

No, wait!

The Queen Mother departed from the sea of suffering eight hundred years ago

and never became a resentful spirit.

Who could it be?

Why is it a child?

Then where's my mother?

Where's my mother?

Who are you?

Where have you taken my mother's body?

Who are you?

A tomb raider?

How did you get in?

Daddy?

Daddy.

Qi Rong!

Get out here!

I'll k*ll you!

Don’t!

My Prince Cousin.

We meet again!

Daddy...

wake up!

Don't leave Guzi behind...

Why are you so mad, Cousin?

I'll just poke you, you won't die!

How did my mother treat you?

Is this how you treat her?

Her remains like this?

Daddy!

My aunt is long gone,

what's the difference

between her remains

and dust?

It's just the remains changing form,

isn't it still there?

Crying and sobbing,

yet she ruthlessly took down Anle!

And my good cousin, you actually have two faces, huh?

Bleh!

Why did I treat her like this?

It's all your fault!

You, this plague,

you still have the nerve to come to Xianle Imperial Tomb to mourn!

Yes, yes!

Just like that,

that's you!

Hit hard!

k*ll mercilessly!

Stop pretending to be a dignified,

- Stop pretending to be a dignified, - Daddy,

- Daddy, - burdened saint,

burdened saint,

- burdened saint, - what's happening to you!

what's happening to you!

- what's happening to you! - it's disgusting to see, ugh!

it's disgusting to see, ugh!

- it's disgusting to see, ugh! - Daddy!

Daddy!

Qi Rong,

you,

get out here on your own!

If you don't come out,

believe me,

I'll drag your soul out by your tongue!

I'm not coming out!

You come and pull me!

Anyway, this possession is just some trash.

It definitely won't tarnish His Highness's purity

and radiance!

Look!

I've already turned your mother into ashes,

aren't you going to k*ll me?

You're not going to k*ll me, huh?

Too late,

you'll never find my ashes in your lifetime!

- you'll never find my ashes in your lifetime! - Don't k*ll my daddy!

Don't k*ll my daddy!

Don't k*ll my daddy!

Please!

My Prince Cousin,

you are a failure,

such a colossal failure!

You're always claiming to love your parents,

- You're always claiming to love your parents, - Shut up!

Shut up!

- Shut up! - now their ashes are scattered!

now their ashes are scattered!

And you!

You still can't make the move!

Shut up!

Look!

Your real face is showing!

My Prince Cousin,

in this world, who understands you better than me?

No one!

I know you too well,

even though you're pretending to be a mourning dog now.

But actually?

You're still so proud inside,

not allowing any criticism!

I say you failed,

you must hate me deeply, right?

Is your heart bleeding from the sting?

Come on!

k*ll me,

or is it because of this person,

you can't?

Let me see what you'll do!

General Hua,

I used to think I did the right thing.

But now,

I can’t tell right from wrong any more.

General Hua,

could you tell me

where I went wrong?

Why on earth?

Master,

what if the third person also doesn't have enough food?

If those two people have food but,

- Anle. - out of greed,

out of greed,

Do you realize the grave mistake you've made?

- Do you realize the grave mistake you've made? - want more

- Do you realize the grave mistake you've made? - and become even more aggressive...

- and become even more aggressive... - So, you're the Imperial Preceptor!

So, you're the Imperial Preceptor!

- So, you're the Imperial Preceptor! - continuously demanding food from the third person,

continuously demanding food from the third person,

- continuously demanding food from the third person, - You hid it so well!

- You hid it so well! - what should be done?

what should be done?

Now,

we can work together to achieve great things!

After this Golden Feast,

we'll go eliminate Lang Qianqiu!

Stirring up chaos in Yong An,

never-ending turmoil!

Trust me,

You're not at fault.

k*ll Emperor Yong An,

protect the remnants of Xianle.

k*ll Lord Anle,

end the feuds between the two clans.

And finally,

die by Lang Qianqiu's hand,

avenging the m*rder*r.

Three lives sacrificed

for lasting peace.

I would do the same.

Nobody could do better than you.

San Lang.

Don't idealize someone too much.

It's fine if you only view them from afar for a lifetime.

But once you get close,

get to know them.

Perfect illusions will eventually shatter.

When that time comes,

you'll be greatly disappointed.

Screw your Prince Xianle!

Your ancestors and generations have been Prince Xianle!

Plague God!

He's just a Plague God!

Give back the lives of my wife and children!

Give back their lives!

So,

forget about it.

No one will remember it soon anyway.

Your Highness!

It won't happen!

I won't forget!

I'll never forget you!

Lian,

this time

I want to accompany you until the end.
