01x32 - Episode 32

[bunniefuu]

You let Yu Jiang go again.

Yes.

Over the years,

Yu Jiang has always wanted to k*ll you,

but you always let him go.

What if he succeeds one day?

I believe he won't do it again.

What's wrong?

You didn't spare those who tried

to assassinate Xiaoyao back then.

You did whatever it took

to eliminate them all.

But you are so forgiving to a man

who tries to k*ll you.

It's different.

How is it different?

I'm willing

to endure injustice and hardship

just to give Xiaoyao

a happy and safe life.

You are so protective.

No wonder everyone around you is so loyal,

including me.

My divine consciousness

seems to be getting stronger.

Xiaoyao.

I hope that when you wake up,

you won't hate me.

I promise I won't

as long as you often talk to me.

You know

I've been bound here for years.

I'm afraid of loneliness.

It's even scarier than being in jail.

At least I can talk

to prison guards and cellmates in jail.

Hey.

Have you become mute?

You don't come here very often.

And you're always quiet.

If you don't speak, I'll hate you.

I'll hate you

even though you saved me.

You were afraid of loneliness.

Are you bored?

Let me take you to see the moon.

Great.

It is the first quarter moon,

like a bow.

I have to heal you every full moon.

I can't get you out of the water.

It has been many years

since I saw the full moon.

Many years?

Has it been so many years?

Do you like it?

If you do,

I'll often take you

to see the full moon.

The moon back then

was a bit like your Ape Mirror.

You secretly kept memories in that mirror.

How did you know?

When you wake up,

the memories in that mirror

must be erased.

No problem.

If you don't get mad,

I can even destroy the mirror.

This is the whirlpool of the sea.

I'm here. Don't be afraid.

When I escaped from the fighting arena,

I was wounded all over

and almost died in the whirlpool.

My foster father saved me.

At that time, the Chenrong Kingdom

had not yet fallen.

He was a general in the Chenrong Kingdom,

equally famous with Yanzhuan and Chi Chen.

I was a runaway demon sl*ve

and yet he saved me.

But I stabbed him.

He didn't mind that at all.

He repaid evil with good,

teaching me healing methods.

He planned to take me

to the King of Chenrong for treatment.

But I didn't believe him and ran away.

What happened later?

Later, I fled to the Far North

and hid for over 100 years.

The snow of the Far North

not only saved my life,

but also gave me enlightenment.

I developed a cultivation method

from his healing methods.

No wonder

every time you use your spirit power,

it seems like it's going to snow.

Snowflakes fly when you start k*lling.

People always think I wear white

because it's my hobby.

In fact,

it's just a habit of trying to survive.

In the icy and snowy Far North,

white is the easiest camouflage.

What happened

after you left the Far North?

Why are you silent?

Go on.

If you don't speak,

let me guess.

Chenrong and Xiyan had a great w*r.

The Chenrong Kingdom was destroyed

and Hong Jiang fell into disgrace.

Hong Jiang's friends and family

all left him.

But Nine-Headed Demon

found him to repay a favor.

Originally, he just wanted

to end this debt of gratitude,

but he didn't expect

to be adopted by Hong Jiang.

It's easy to repay kindness

but hard to give up affection.

Speaking of which,

I'm starting to dislike Hong Jiang.

Without him,

you wouldn't be who you are now.

You wouldn't bear the burden of Chenrong

and become Cangxuan's enemy.

Why are you frowning?

Are you unhappy?

Let me perform a trick for you.

It's snowing.

You've been healing me all the time.

Don't overuse your spirit power.

It's your spirit power.

Do whatever you want.

THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS LATER

Xiaoyao.

You've been gone for 37 years.

I planted poinciana trees

on Mount Chenrong.

They have grown tall.

When will you return?

Let's admire the flowers together.

Cangxuan.

I am sorry.

I've been delayed

due to grain supply issues.

Has it not been resolved yet?

We have thought of all possible solutions,

but the funds we have are limited.

We can hold out for another month at most.

We're not short of good soldiers

after 40 years.

No matter who we compete with,

we can give it our all to win.

But the grain supply

is indeed a big problem.

Because of Tushan Hou,

we can't tamper with accounts anymore.

I really don't know how we can get money.

Jing is the best at business.

If he were here, it wouldn't be a problem.

How's Tushan Jing?

What happened?

He almost can't take any medicine.

Look at the Life Light

sent by Madam Tushan

and you'll know about his condition.

If it goes on like this,

Young Master may die.

No matter what, keep feeding him medicine.

We can prepare more medicinal herbs.

I'll continue feeding him.

Why does he not want to live anymore?

Any news of Princess Jiuyao?

No.

Otherwise, we'd have already heard

from Chenrong Mansion.

I hope that the princess

is safe and sound.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Young Master

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master.

How is he?

There is nothing I can do.

Young Master Tushan is dying.

I'm afraid he won't last a few days.

I made the same diagnosis.

Jing.

How could this happen?

Where's Xiaoyao?

When you agree to my conditions,

Xiaoyao will return.

So Xiaoyao is already better.

What do you want?

-A mountain on Mount Chenrong.

-What do you mean?

All soldiers who followed Hong Jiang

can't forget their homeland.

They are displaced,

living a life of hardship.

Even if they die in battle,

they can't return to their homeland.

I want you to promise me.

If one day,

you become the ruler of Xiyan Kingdom,

make a mountain a forbidden area

and let the ashes

of all the deceased return

to the place that they'd always missed.

If I can't become

the ruler of Xiyan Kingdom,

you'll be losing this deal.

I offer a deal.

Just tell me if you'll do it.

Fine.

I promise.

But if I can't become

the ruler of Xiyan Kingdom,

you absolutely cannot bother Xiaoyao

because of this.

All right.

When can Xiaoyao come back?

It has been decades.

Cangxuan often sent me things.

But Tushan Jing never cared for me.

People change.

Maybe Tushan Jing

has married Fangfeng Yiying

and even had children.

I can move.

I can touch things.

Xiang Liu.

Xiang Liu.

Look, I can touch things.

Am I getting better?

What's wrong?

Why do you look so gloomy?

It's a full moon night.

I'll take you out for a while.

Great.

But shouldn't you treat me

on a full moon night?

Look.

That turtle is bigger

than your bed in Qingshui Town.

If you like it,

I can make you a bed with its shell.

I like it.

Make me a bed with it

and place it in this seashell.

That's a fish demon.

Its fish core

should be better than your purple one.

But

you won't need that in the future.

Why not?

What is this sound? It's so pleasant.

Xiang Liu, let's move closer and listen.

It seems the merfolk are in heat.

That's their courtship song.

I see. Then we won't disturb them.

It's said

they sing the most beautiful song

in the world.

Neither mortals nor deities can hear it.

Perhaps after you wake up,

you can hear it.

Why can I hear it?

It's a pity.

We can't hear them sing

after they've chosen their mates.

Why not?

At midnight,

we must go back for treatment.

It's all right.

We can hear them sing another time.

Just take me out here another day.

Why do you act strange today?

You're unusually talkative today.

In the past, you were quiet

even though I begged you to talk.

Can you see me?

I thought you had seen me.

Xiaoyao,

do you remember Tushan Jing?

You surely remember him.

He's your Ye Shiqi.

How can you forget?

I remember him,

but he may not remember me.

How could the leader

of the Tushan family be Ye Shiqi?

Since you fell into a coma,

Tushan Jing has also been unconscious.

But now, he can't hold on much longer.

He's dying.

He is unconscious?

What happened?

Xiaoyao,

if Tushan Jing dies,

will you be very sad

and hate me?

I don't want him to die.

But why would I hate you?

You saved me.

Xiang Liu.

Xiang Liu.

Xiang Liu.

You can feel me, can't you?

He could have a few drops of medicine.

But now, he can't take any.

What are we going to do?

The life force inside Young Master

is running out.

-Young Master.

-Young Master.

I'm back in my body.

Xiang Liu.

Where are you, Xiang Liu?

Xiang Liu!

Xiang Liu!

Chubby.

Chubby.

Have you gained weight?

I'm not teasing you.

You're the cutest bird.

Where's your master?

I don't see him.

Did Xiang Liu ask you

to take me to see him?

Did Xiang Liu ask you to take me back?

Does he not want to see me?

Let's go.

Your Highness, a message from Xiang Liu.

PROMISE FULFILLED.

XIAOYAO WILL RETURN SOON.

Is it news about the princess?

Xiaoyao will be back soon.

Jun Yi, convey my orders.

Let the gate guards report to me

once they see Xiaoyao.

Yes.

-I'll prepare her room.

-Wait.

You won't be as thoughtful as the maids.

Leave it to Shanhu.

Didn't you say

men aren't as thoughtful as women?

So what are you doing now?

Miaopu.

Your Highness.

I remember there was a pair of vases.

Find another one.

Yes.

Your Highness, is it this one?

Yes.

One vase looks lonely.

It's better to have things in pairs.

Good.

Then change all the items here

into pairs.

Yes.

CHENRONG MANSION

CHENRONG MANSION

CHENRONG MANSION

Xiaoyao.

Is it really you?

Could I be someone else?

Thank heavens.

You're finally back safe and sound.

Don't worry.

How's Cangxuan?

He is fine.

But he has been worried about you.

Have you not seen him yet?

When Cangxuan knew you got better,

he sent someone

to take you back to Haoling.

I thought you went

to Mount Chenrong before visiting me.

I actually wanted to visit him first.

But I heard Jing is critically ill.

I want to go to Qingqiu to see Jing.

Can you come with me?

You've come to the right person.

Jing is not in Qingqiu.

He is here.

Young Master

There's no sign of life.

There's nothing we can do.

Send a message to Qingqiu right now.

Young Master

Madam Tushan needs to decide

how to handle Young Master's funeral.

Jing.

I'll notify my brother,

my father, and Cangxuan immediately.

Princess,

please save Young Master.

Please save him.

Young Master is overly grieved.

His spirit is shattered

and his organs are all injured.

He gave up surviving.

Princess, please save him.

I'm begging you.

Is Jing seeking his own death?

What happened while I was away?

Were you so heartbroken

that you didn't want to live?

Princess, don't you understand?

What do I need to understand?

When Prince Cangxuan went to save you,

he saw Young Master holding you.

Back then, you stopped breathing.

You were going to turn into ashes.

Young Master

He has innate spiritual eyes

and he's proficient in formations.

He was not injured.

He could get out of the formation.

But he was holding you, waiting for death.

He would rather be burned by the fire

than leave you.

Don't you know what you mean to him?

He wants to be with you,

dead or alive.

Jing,

did you really give up your life

because of me?

The room has been arranged

according to your instructions.

Good.

Your Highness,

there's news of Princess Jiuyao.

Where is she? I'll go to her.

She went to Chenrong Mansion.

All right.

It's good that Xiaoyao came back safely.

Give me the medicine.

I'll feed him.

Princess.

He can't take the medicine anymore.

You go out first.

I'll call you when I can't do it.

-Is that all right?

-Thank you, Princess.

The first time I saw you,

you were seriously injured,

but you still had the will to live.

Your throat was severely injured.

No matter how hard it was to swallow,

you always tried your best to do it.

Do you remember this garden?

You taught me how to play the zither

in this garden.

I knew

you couldn't help wanting to kiss me.

But you always suppressed it

and deliberately avoided me.

In fact, I could feel it.

But I pretended not to know.

I liked seeing you struggle with yourself.

I liked teasing you.

But once you kissed me,

you turned from a rabbit into a wolf.

I couldn't even escape.

But now,

you've become the little rabbit,

letting me bully you.

Can you wake up soon?

I like it when you're a wolf.

When did you sneak out?

Are you watching me?

You're its master.

It's crafty

like you.

-Your Highness, Ms. Chenrong.

-Ms. Chenrong.

Is the princess inside?

Yes.

I have something else to do,

so I won't disturb your reunion

with Xiaoyao.

I'll come back to see you and Xiaoyao.

Thank you.

There's no need for that.

Your Highness.

The princess is resting.

Please allow me to notify

Xiaoyao.
