01x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

Brothers-in-arms,

your heroic souls

will return to the stars.

Mingye, there you are.

You haven't recovered yet.

Don't get a chill from the wind.

Thank you.

Mingye, you don't need
to be courteous to me.

You're the guardian of the Three Realms.

All I can do

is to be by your side.

It's getting late.

The devils could strike at any moment.

Let me walk you back to your chambers.

No, thank you.

The celestial troops

suffered heavy casualties in the battle.

I need a moment to myself.

Mingye.

So your name is Mingye.

You're the God of w*r.

No wonder you're so good in battle.

I wonder how the battle is going.

Will the God of w*r come today?

The devils are raiding us!

Go inform w*r God Mingye!

Look, the God of w*r is here!

Little dragon,

you're quite good.

Before you're k*lled
by the Sky-Slashing Sword,

tell me your name.

Mingye.

I found him. Here he is.

What happened to you?

Wake up.

Wake up.

Mingye.

Mingye!

Mingye, wake up.

Mingye.

Wake up.

What's wrong with him?

The Devil God suddenly showed up

and ambushed Mingye.

Mingye.

Wake up, Mingye.

Mingye, please don't die.

Mingye!

They're coming.

What now?

What should we do?

Follow me.

Mingye.

Mingye, wake up.

Mingye.

What is this place?

This is where the Water-Calming Stone is.

The spiritual energy is abundant.

We can use this to protect his heart.

I'll leave him to you.

Where are you going?

How can I protect him on my own?

Rest assured.

I'll cast a barrier for you

to conceal any traces of your energy.

Even so,

you can't conceal the sight of us.

What if they find us here?

They won't.

I'll lure them away.

-Get her!
-Go after her!

Mingye's life is fading away.

If he dies,

how will I live?

The ancient crystal.

Mingye was born in the East Sea.

This crystal

is the ultimate aquatic treasure.

It may save Mingye's life.

The spirits in this small river

have a lowly status.

They should feel honored

that I'm taking the crystal

and giving them a chance

to offer a treasure to the God of w*r.

Mingye is in critical condition.

I have to make a tough decision.

He absorbed the Water-Calming Crystal!

This man is Mingye, the God of w*r,

whom immortals rely on
to counter the devils.

Whoever they rely on

doesn't concern the Mohe River!

All I know is

that I'm the ruler of the Mohe River.

Thousands of aquatic tribes
in the Mohe River

all depend on the Water-Calming Crystal!

If we want to protect our people,

we must make him

return the crystal!

Father,

please don't k*ll him!

He absorbed the crystal

because he was dying

after being injured by the Devil God.

Dying?

What a coincidence.

He happened to fall into my Mohe River

and take the Water-Calming Crystal!

I brought him here.

Sangjiu!

What did you say?

I'm going to k*ll him!

No!

Mingye was already on his last breath.

This place has
the most abundant divine energy.

I could only bring him here.

The Devil God's minions

were also chasing after him.

I went to lure them away,

but I didn't think

that he would absorb the crystal.

Did you k*ll any of the Devil God's men?

I did.

Today,

you brought a terrible disaster upon us!

-Father, calm down.
-Father.

Since I caused the trouble,

I'll take responsibility for it.

If the Devil God comes for the k*ller,

just hand me over to him.

-You'll take responsibility?
-Father!

Are you capable of that?

Without the ancient crystal,

the Water-Calming Stone

loses its energy source!

The Mohe River will be muddy and billowy.

All of our people
will suffer heavy casualties!

So many lives!

How are you going to repay them?

The people of the Mohe River

suffered a catastrophe today

because I failed

to discipline my daughter!

The Unionid Tribe

has always been kind and peace-loving.

Now that we have lost

our ancestors' blessing,

we will definitely suffer retribution!

The Water-Calming Stone

lost its energy source

because of me.

I should make up for it.

What are you doing?

What are you going to do?

-Sangjiu!
-Sangjiu!

-Come back!
-Come back!

Sangjiu!

Sangjiu, don't be headstrong!

Sangjiu!

My immortal marrow

can replace the crystal

as the energy source.

What's done is done.

Today,

I extract my marrow in atonement.

I only wish that the Mohe River

will be pristine

and tranquil.

Sangjiu!

Sangjiu.

Sangjiu!

Sangjiu!

Father,

the river's aquatic residents

have been appeased.

Please go have some rest.

I'll watch her.

Your sister is asleep now.

I can stay with her for a little longer.

If she wakes up,

she may get angry at me

and not want to see me.

Do you know?

Your sister has been clingy
since she was a child.

Every night before she went to bed,

she would make me tell her ten stories.

And she would only sleep

while grabbing my beard.

She was so young back then.

Her hair was short and sparse.

But she kept asking me

to braid her hair every day.

Father.

I shouldn't…

I shouldn't have hit her, should I?

Ever since she was born,

she has never suffered any wrongs.

She must've done this

because I hit her.

She wasn't being reckless.

She has grown up.

She's the princess of the Mohe River.

She's saving her own people.

But…

she has lost her immortal marrow now.

The path of immortals and demons diverges.

She has been learning immortal arts

since she was young.

Without her immortal marrow,

she won't have any hope

of achieving immortality.

This won't do.

I can't

just leave it at this.

I'm still alive.

The Devil God ambushed me.

Thank you for saving my life.

God of w*r,

I don't deserve your gratitude.

I'm not the one

who saved your life

or healed your immortal soul.

Your savior is

the ancient crystal that calms the waters

of the Mohe River.

Is this the bottom of the Mohe River?

I heard

the Unionid Tribe has lived here
for generations

and governs its territory.

I presume

that you must be the Mohe River's ruler.

How generous of you

to save my life with your treasure.

How can I repay you?

No need.

We're just a small demon tribe.

How can we possibly ask for a reward

from the God of w*r?

I don't think I've offended you.

Would you please be frank with me?

You're the noble God of w*r.

We demons don't deserve

to be your friends.

The one to blame is my meddling daughter

who brought you back.

That's why you had the chance

to steal the ancient crystal!

I have not stolen anything.

Please be careful with your words.

Did you not do it

or do you not remember?

Could it be that my ancient crystal

flew from the Water-Calming Stone

into your chest all by itself?

Or am I staking

the safety of 10,000 aquatic residents

just to blackmail you?

I lost consciousness when I was shot down

by the God-Slaughtering Crossbow,

I really don't remember

what happened afterward.

Whether you admit it or not,

the crystal has been exhausted by you.

I'm afraid you can't deny that.

As for what will happen to the Mohe River,

you don't need to worry about it.

My daughter Sangjiu

invited a fox into the henhouse,

which cost us our most important treasure.

She knew she had made a huge mistake,

so she extracted her immortal marrow

to replace the crystal

in calming the waters!

May I have the chance to meet Ms. Sangjiu?

I want to thank her in person.

Thank her?

Sangjiu is my only daughter

and the princess of the Mohe River.

For you,

she gave up her immortal marrow

and any chance of achieving immortality!

Are you just going to say thank you

and wash your hands off of this?

Is this all the gratitude you have for her

and the Mohe River?

As long as it's within my power,

I'll do everything I can

to compensate her.

May I ask

how you would like me

to show my gratitude to the Mohe River?

Sangjiu is the hope of the Mohe River.

Now her future is ruined because of you.

If you are willing to marry her,

take her to the immortal realm,

and protect her,

I'll let bygones be bygones.

I've never met Ms. Sangjiu before.

There's no love between us.

You're asking me

to make a life decision so hastily.

Let's first put aside whether I'm willing.

Will she agree?

That's our family business.

I'm asking you now.

What about you? Are you willing?

Sangyou, you're here.

How are you feeling?

Is Father still mad?

How is the river?

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Sangyou, what is wrong?

Sangjiu,

Father asked w*r God Mingye

to sign a marriage contract.

Mingye will come to marry you
in three days.

Why?

Did Father arrange this?

Did w*r God Mingye agree to it?

For the Mohe River,
you sacrificed your immortal marrow.

You will never be able to leave this river

no matter how hard you train.

Father doesn't want you
to waste your life here.

So he convinced Mingye

to take you to Shangqing Realm

to cleanse your marrow and cultivate.

Staying in the Mohe River isn't bad.

Aren't you and Father both here?

Just tell me if you want to marry
and go to Shangqing Realm.

I…

Sangjiu, listen to me.

Father is picking a good future for you.

But if you're unwilling,

no one can force you to do it.

You can stay home forever.

You can be with me and Father.

Do you understand?

It's your own marriage.

I won't rush you.

Think it through properly.

If you don't want to marry,

I'll convince Father
to burn this contract.

Take your time.

Just tell me your answer

within three days.

Sangyou.

I'll marry.

Have you ever considered this?

Mingye has never met you.

Naturally, he will not love you.

But I like him.

SANGJIU

You…

Have you truly made up your mind?

I want to be closer to him.

I want to see the God of w*r
whom I admire.

I want to see

how the Shangqing Realm looks.

You used to say

that I'm a small girl with big dreams.

This time, let me make my own decision.

I'm also going to need you

to help me prepare for my wedding.

All right.

Have a good rest then.

Sangjiu,

all you have is courage

and a heart full of love.

Whether it's the right decision or not,

you will have to walk on alone.

Lord Immortal,

it's the auspicious hour soon.

Please allow us to get you changed.

Don't bother.

I'll do it myself.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Hongzhu,

does w*r God Mingye hate us?

He never lets us serve him.

Don't take it to heart.

Those servants from the East Sea

have told me

that he preferred to be alone

even before he became an immortal.

And he used to be a soldier.

He isn't used to being served.

Saintess Tianhuan should be waking

in the next few days.

When she is here, don't get too close.

If she sees you,

you will surely get in trouble.

Is there anyone in Shangqing Realm

who doesn't know what she desires?

She has been in love
with our lord for years.

Now with a new bride coming,

what hope does she have?

I thought it was an act,

but you really are dumb.

It has spread all over the realm.

Haven't you heard
how this marriage came about?

The so-called bride is actually

a clam demon from the Mohe River
who blackmailed him.

They say that when the God of w*r
fell into the Mohe River,

he used their…

Sangjiu,

this is a Reflection Pearl that I raised.

Whenever you miss Father and me,

just use it to see us.

Let me give it a try.

I'll see what Father is doing right now.

Those are my childhood clothes.

Father.

Sangjiu.

w*r God Mingye.

Before you leave,

a kind reminder from the Mohe River.

In the eyes of the immortal realm,

the people of the Mohe River

may be as insignificant as duckweeds.

But Sangjiu is my father's
only precious daughter.

Sangjiu is naturally timid,

but she k*lled four devils to save you.

The Mohe River is a barren corner,

but it offered its crystal to heal you.

From this day on,

if you dare to neglect
or mistreat Sangjiu,

even if you're the God of w*r,

I'll hold you accountable

for her and the Mohe River!

Who are you?

I'm Sangyou, Sangjiu's brother.

Very well.

I promise you.

I will have a happy life.

Heaven and Earth

congratulate the God of w*r

on his wedding!

Be careful.

The bride and the groom have long heard

about each other's qualities and virtues.

Today they finally met and decided

to be husband and wife.

They promise to love each other forever

and write their vows in this contract.

Mingye and Sangjiu are married today.

May Heaven and Earth be informed!

I'm asking you now.

Are you willing or not?

My poor daughter

lost her immortal marrow to save you

and even k*lled devil soldiers.

If the Devil God pursues the matter,

I'm afraid she will even lose her life.

I can promise to take Sangjiu

to the immortal realm.

I will cleanse her marrow, heal her,

and protect her.

You stole the crystal.

How can I trust you?

How do I know

you're not lying to Sangjiu

and the Mohe River?

I really don't know anything about that.

I hope you won't pursue it any further.

Then sign this marriage contract

so that I can trust you to keep your word.

MINGYE

Will this do?

You're really a straightforward man.

The humble Mohe River

can hardly accommodate a real dragon.

I'm sure you can find your way out.

Lord Immortal, it's getting late.

All right.

You may go back to rest.

Yes.

Lü'e.

The little clam spirit
that crawled out of a river

really doesn't seem
to have seen the world.

She's from a small brook.

What do you expect?

This is probably her first look

at our immortal realm
after living so many years.

-Lord Immortal.
-Lord Immortal.

Why didn't you two warn her?

My lord,

we saw that Madam was having a good time.

We didn't dare to interrupt her.

That's why we forgot to warn her.

w*r God Mingye.

Ms. Sangjiu.

Ms. Sangjiu,

do you need something?

I…

w*r God Mingye.

You may just call me Mingye from now on.

Mingye.

I was waiting for you last night,

but you didn't come.

So I accidentally fell asleep.

Did you come later?

Did I oversleep?

I'm sorry.

Actually,

I should have been frank

with you last night.

We have never met before.

There is nothing between us.

Although we're married,

it was not out of my own will.

I suppose

you must feel the same way.

Since we're not actually husband and wife,

in the future,

why don't we agree to three rules?

First,

you may enter or leave

this Yuqing Palace freely.

I won't step foot into your chambers.

You and I will mind our own businesses

and not disturb each other.

Second,

you're my wife by name,

but you cannot use your title

to bully others.

Third,

if you ever

fall in love with someone else,

feel free to marry him.

I can write a letter to the Unionid King

to divorce you.

I must attend to military affairs.

Forgive me

for not keeping you company.

Hongzhu, you were right.

She seems quite pitiful in this case.

What is pitiful about her?

The Unionid Tribe blackmailed our lord

for saving his life.

They reap what they sow.

Or are we supposed to be friendly to her?

Speaking of which,

we still don't know
that little clam spirit's name.

I'm Sangjiu.

-Madam Sangjiu.
-Madam Sangjiu.

What are your names?

I'm Lü'e.

She is Hongzhu.

Ladies,

I actually want to ask you something.

Do you know

what w*r God Mingye's interests are?

If I want to get closer to him,

what should I do?

Lord Immortal doesn't seem

to have any interests

and doesn't like to be close to anyone.

If he's not training soldiers,
he's at w*r.

His life is quite hard.

So Saintess Tianhuan

often makes tonics with spiritual herbs

for Lord Immortal.

Also…

Madam, we're just lowly maids.

We wouldn't know how to get close
to Lord Immortal.

I understand.

So he loves training and w*r.

Now that I'm married,

I can't be lazy and sleep in anymore.

I'll get up early tomorrow
and practice using weapons.

If I get admitted into the army,

wouldn't I be close to him every day?

Maybe I can even help in the w*r.

Madam, you sure have
a unique way of thinking.

By the way,

who is this Saintess Tianhuan

that you mentioned?

She is the only daughter

of Tianhao, the former God of w*r,

and the previous owner of Yuqing Palace.

Lord Immortal followed w*r God Tianhao

into battle for many years.

For Lord Immortal,

w*r God Tianhao was both his benefactor

and his brother-in-arms.

Before w*r God Tianhao died,

he entrusted Saintess Tianhuan
to Lord Immortal.

Therefore, he often looks out for her.

Madam, please don't overthink it.

Is she that pretty immortal

with a very tall chignon?

I hear that she's still unconscious.

Can I go visit her?

Saintess Tianhuan is still
in seclusion at Bihan Hall.

I'm afraid it's not a good time.

All right then.

Remember to tell me when she wakes up.

I'll go visit her.

But those under the God of w*r's command

are all immortal soldiers.

He won't accept

a little demon lacking immortal marrow.
