[Episode 16]

Yan Zhang, Vice Lord of Xuling Temple,

did a great job planning for me.

Reward her with 10,000 spirit stones.

Farewell, Your Grace.

I haven't seen this sword in ages.

You're the new owner of the Deliverance?

You know the former owner?

Former owner?

Isn't it just Hejia Jixi,
the forger of this sword

and Si Mu's aunt?

What? Si Mu didn't tell you
the story behind this sword?

Looks like the two of you aren't very close.

My Lady, do you know about Si Mu's parents,
and her uncle and aunt?

I got on very well with them.

When the previous Sovereign was alive,

he even called me Lady Jiang Ai.

Si Mu calls me the way her father did.

Then can you tell me about her childhood?

Young man, it's not fun to inquire
about the Sovereign's past.

It's not for fun.

I want to know more about her.

In that case,
how many spirit stones can you offer?

Spirit stones?

Is that the money of the Void?

Information about the Sovereign
will certainly fetch a good price.

Why didn't I think of
this great business before?

Young man, I'll give you a discount.

Half a million spirit stones.

When you've earned enough of it,

come to me for information about her.

Half a million?

That doesn't sound cheap at all.

You aren't the only one who adores Si Mu.

You'd better be careful.

Your Lordship,

we meet again.

You must be that mortal general.

I heard you brought Her Grace
a lot of fun during her vacation.

Your short stay in the Void
is just a sign of her favor.

It seems your Sovereign speaks highly of me.

I just wanted to see
what Si Mu's place would look like.

She approved right away.

How dare you call Her Grace by name?

Wait.

How Si Mu and I address each other
is our own business.

You're in no position to get angry.

How dare you!

The curfew has begun.

Enjoy your stay.

[Sovereign's Hall]

I can't believe Si Mu has lived here
for centuries now.

Only your Sovereign can eat me.

[Lake Cottage, the Void]

I didn't expect to find a place like this.

Duan Shun Xi, how bold of you.

You fear no place, do you?

I didn't know you were here.

No offense.

Please forgive me.

This place is warded.

How did you get in?

Maybe this cottage likes me
and allowed me in.

Your Grace,

the nights here are cold.

Can you really bear to let me stay outside?

How did you find me?

There's less discordant aura here.

The scent of your sachet
is actually stronger.

What have you reflected on so far?

I was thinking...

When I kissed you,

you remained silent and stared at me.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking,

"When I get my power back,
I'll make you regret it."

Furthermore, I guess you were also wondering

why I kissed you.

You probably thought I was lost in passion

and it was a passing fancy.

But soon, you realized that you were wrong.

You realized that I was serious.

So you didn't say anything.

Even today,
you only hung me up on the palace gate...

only to scare me off,

rather than k*ll me.

Right?

That day, I was really lost in passion.

I thought you were so adorable

and I would never meet another girl like you.

And I'd never feel the same...

for anyone else.

I've calmed down these days
and thought about it.

That's absolutely true.

Young people usually
have fleeting affections.

It's not strange that you like me.

I've seen a lot of men like you.

Among them, you're the smartest one.

In that case,
you should think before you speak.

- I've thought it over.
- No, you haven't.

Do you really know me?

I want to know you.

And I'm getting to know you...

bit by bit.

This room, for example.

I'm guessing it was the room
you once lived in with your parents.

And the toys on the shelves.

- They were your toys.
- You shouldn't have come.

[Sovereign's Hall]

[Sovereign's Hall]

Do you know? Her Grace and Lord Yan Ke

have gone to fix the Fusang Tree
so early in the morning.

Their intimacy makes us jealous.

Everybody knows their relationship.

Her Grace just hasn't acknowledged him.

With your spirit power,
the tree is growing stronger.

Si Mu, you must be tired.

Get some rest.

All right, Yan.

Your Lordship.

Are you surprised to see me alive?

The spirit that attacked me yesterday

had the same aura as yours.

You just can't smell it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Perhaps we should talk frankly.

Your Lordship, however much you hate me,

you shouldn't k*ll me.

If I died in the Void,

what would become of
Si Mu's honor and reputation?

You're merely a lowly mortal,

and you may die in an instant.

What right do you have
to talk frankly with me?

I'm not a lowly mortal, actually.

I'm the only man the Sovereign
has brought back in the past 300 years.

In the Spirit World, only she can k*ll me.

Then you'd better keep yourself alive.

Hey, young man.

- Oh, it's you.
- What do you mean by that?

You should say, "We meet again".

I was sent here to be your servant.

What happened to you?

Tell me about it.

Song Xing Yu completely ruined me.

Having lost all my possessions,
I'm now a servant.

That's why I ended up like this.

You brought this upon yourself.

You can't blame anyone.

Young man, you're in no position to talk.

I heard you offended Her Grace

and were hung up there for humiliation.

I would just be hung for a few days.

Your 600-year-old treasures are all gone.

Hey.

- Hey you.
- What?

Have you heard of the backside
of the Void Mountain?

Why are you asking about that?

That's a forbidden area here.

Don't ask around.

- Forbidden area?
- Yeah.

Only Her Grace is allowed in there.

Don't bring it up again.

Does Her Grace usually live there?

Her Grace certainly has
her own sleeping hall.

Without her permission, no one can get in.

The curfew is starting soon.
I'll come by again tomorrow.

What? Hey!

Hey!

[Zhaomu Pavilion, the Void]

This place isn't your house
where you can go anywhere.

Your Grace, I'm so sleepy.

Let me get in for a nap.

It's spacious outside.

Quite enough for you.

You'd really let me sleep out here?

You really make yourself comfortable.

Get up.

Stop pretending.

Get out of my...

Jiang Ai.

- Your Grace.
- Lady Jiang Ai.

Goodness.

What's wrong with him?

He's hungry.

A mortal can't live without food.

Time runs the same here.

He hasn't eaten anything for two days.
So he fainted from hunger.

Prepare a meal for him.

You're not really going to keep him here,
are you?

I don't want to keep him here.

But I can't let him die of hunger.

It's not easy to raise a mortal in our world.

Feeding a mortal will cost
a great many spirit stones.

Whatever amount you need, I'll approve it.

Si Mu, why don't you just acknowledge him?

He's handsome, bold and cheerful.

He cares a lot for you.

If you ask me,
he loves you more than anything.

I can't let him stay here forever.

When he recovers, I'll send him back.

Understood.

Since you're awake, come and eat.

I never expected...

to see mortal food here.

The Void is a vast world.

A table of mortal food isn't exactly rare.

You don't dare to eat?

I can't bear to.

After you're full, stay here for a rest.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Here is where the spirits live.

A mortal shouldn't linger for too long.

Foxy.

You shouldn't have come.

Yan.

Got something to say?

Si Mu, when will you send that mortal away?

What do you think?

The sooner, the better.

Our world is no place for mortals.

And the Fusang Tree hasn't recovered.

Spirits are piling up here.

Who knows what will happen?

We have no time to spare for a mortal's fate.

Your Grace, this mortal has caused
quite a commotion inside our world.

If this goes on, it's hard to tell
if there will be even more chaos.

Why would you think a mere mortal
would destabilize the Void?

If he really could,
I'd like to see how he does it.

Your Grace, that's not what I mean.

Enough.

I have my own plans about him.

Why did you get up there again?

Your Grace,

you said three days.

- I'm left with the last quarter.
- You're hopeless.

You won't change anyway.

Get out of my sight.

This is a bitterly cold place.

No mortal can endure that.

He must not stay.

This is not your concern.

The chill here has even invaded your veins.

You could've told me earlier.

If I had told you,

wouldn't you have sent me away at once?

Silly man.

What's so funny?

It seems ever since we met,

you've been healing me.

Or do you want to heal me?

No.

I'd never want you to get hurt.

When the moon is full,

the spirits' desires will grow strong.

These are their painful moans
for unattainable desires.

Are you scared?

Not really.

It's just a little bit noisy.

In the Void,

living without senses...

might be a good thing.

A mortal's senses will be
infinitely amplified here.

You really shouldn't stay here.

Life is short.

I want to live my way.

Even if you may die?

Don't be scared, Chang.

I'm getting you out now.

Spare me.

Spare me.

Chang, you'll be free soon.

Don't be scared, Chang.

Take this decoction...

and you'll be all right.

Don't be scared, Chang.

Just don't be scared.

Don't be scared, Chang.

[Zhaomu Pavilion]

Hey, young man.

Mai Zi.

Her Grace has assigned me to serve you.

Young man, over the centuries,

you're the first one to have stayed
in the Sovereign's room.

You're so favored by her.

If that's the case, I'm indeed favored.

I've always wanted to ask.

You were a spirit in the Mortal World.

But why are you a mortal in the Spirit World?

How did you do that?

If you want to know, take me to Her Grace.

She is punishing the guilty spirit today.

That's too cruel to watch.

[Execution Platform, the Void]

Fang Chang.

Fang Chang.

I'm going...

to be annihilated, right?

Very well.

He Si Mu,

come on, do it!

All you can do is annihilate
those who you don't like.

Do you think this will
help you keep your throne forever?

Do you think they'll really obey you?

Everybody wants to replace you
when you're weak.

You only rely on your mighty power.

A tyrant like you deserves to die!

Fang Chang!

You violated our decrees
to assassinate the Sovereign.

Punishing you by law
is the exact way to uphold justice.

How dare you make wild remarks
to slander Her Grace!

It doesn't matter.

Let him continue.

I'm right here.

If you're able to k*ll me, come and k*ll me.

I thought you would have
more impressive last words.

Fang Chang, Vice Lord of Shanling Temple,

colluded with a traitor to assassinate me.

He violated Article 7
of the Golden-wall Decrees, Treason.

He'll be annihilated now.

Any objections?

He Si Mu,

I'm not the only one who wants to k*ll you.

There's also him! Him!

All of them!

He Si Mu, remember this.

The fate I have today will be yours tomorrow.

A spirit has no senses.

Why is he in such pain?

That's the pain congealed from spirit power.

It's a punishment for guilty spirits.
