01x27 - Episode 27

[bunniefuu]

Your Majesty.
you've been standing here all night.

Your injuries haven't healed yet.

Would she have died

if Pianran and Ye Qingyu
had been there a bit later?

The physician said
she was so close to death.

I asked her to live well.

Then she should do so.

Her life belongs to me.

Without my permission,

she mustn't die.

Your Majesty.

Someone asks to see you.

Tell him to go.

It's Pang Yizhi.

He said he had to see you.

Mr. Pang.

What did you come for?

Your Majesty, you've addressed me wrongly.

The Sheng Kingdom has been conquered,

so I'm no longer
the Sheng Kingdom's senior chamberlain

but a Xiaoyao Sect disciple.

I came here

to make divination for Your Majesty

to exchange

for one thing.

What do you want?

Don't you want to know

what the divination is about?

No.

Your Majesty.

I can't hold anything back.

So when I make divination,

whether it's auspicious or ominous,

I have to say it.

From the divination,

I can tell that
you'll soon lose your beloved

and regret it for your entire life.

You can't reclaim your love.

And you will be trapped
in the underworld forever.

It seems that

you don't want your tongue anymore.

Your Majesty.

Be patient.

I haven't finished talking.

Two silver linings showed

in the manifestation of the divination.

One is about thunder.

The other is about water.

What do you mean?

As you know,

I'm not proficient.

I can't explain it. Sorry.

What do you want to exchange it for?

I want

a bottle of your heart's blood.

Mr. Pang.

What makes you think

that I would give it to you

after hearing your nonsense

and your request?

Your Majesty, the whole world
is now under your reign.

Indeed, I'm not fully confident
that you would give it to me.

However,

I have a thunder-attribute artifact.

If you give me your heart's blood,

I'll repay you with it.

What is it?

These are Yin-Yang Twin Bracelets

made from Thunder Iron.

It's an artifact of the Xiaoyao Sect.

When two people wear one of the bracelets,

the owner of the Yin bracelet won't die

as long as
the Yang bracelet owner is alive.

The reason is that

the lifespan of the owner
of the Yang bracelet

would offset the disasters
that happen to the Yin bracelet owner.

However, once you put on the bracelet,

you can never take it off.

Offset the disasters.

I want to offer this

in return for a bottle
of your heart's blood.

Pang Yizhi.

What do you want the blood for?

Your Majesty,
that is none of your concern.

Your Majesty.

We don't know his motive.

Moreover, your heart is injured.

I beg you to think carefully.

Nian Baiyu.

Give me the dagger.

Thank you.

Xiao Lin.

I've been practicing immortal arts
and learning divination for many years.

What is it for?

I can't change what happened

or save my friends.

You're my friend.

Now I'll make a divination

for you.

Xiao Lin.

If you were still alive
and knew that I was going to do this,

you would certainly admonish me.

Now that you're in the underworld,

you can't stop me.

Just let me do what I want to.

From now on,

our fates have become one.

Are you all right, Your Majesty?

Retake her pulse.

Your Majesty.

Her pulse is recovering quickly.

She'll wake up in a few hours.

You can leave.

Yes.

Your Majesty, are you all right?

When Ye Xiwu wakes up,

lock her up in the Cold Palace.

No one is allowed to visit her.

She's now my weakness.

If she's k*lled,

my lifespan will be deducted.

Yes.

Also,

don't talk about the bracelets to anyone,

including Ye Xiwu.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

What should we do with Ye Bingchang?

Have you found out
why she tried to k*ll Ye Xiwu?

She said Ye Xiwu caused Xiao Lin's death.

As Xiao Lin's widow,

she wanted to avenge his death.

The person who k*lled Xiao Lin

wasn't Ye Xiwu

but me.

Don't k*ll her.

Put her in the dungeon.

Don't let her go unless she dies.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Why does Pang Yizhi want
your heart's blood?

I think he's up to no good.

And I'm afraid this thing

will be bad for you.

Your Majesty, I beg you.

Please take care of your own health.

I don't care about it.

What did you put in there?

Dry mylabris.

One tiny sip

is lethal.

Did you make this porridge

especially for me?

No, Tantai Jin.

I didn't want to k*ll you.

Everything is wrong.

Li Susu.

Are you giving up?

This is

Barren Abyss.

Li Susu.

Jize.

I failed to k*ll Devil God.

I've let down your trust.

I'm sorry.

You feel guilty
because not only did you fail me,

but you also failed Tantai Jin, right?

Guilty?

I'm surprised.

He was convinced
that I wanted to poison him,

but he still wanted to marry me

and be with me forever.

Jize.

Since he loves me deeply,

how can I not be guilty,

whether he's a demon or a god?

How silly.

Listen.

Even if so many people hadn't died

because of you and Tantai Jin,

you would still end up like this.

Li Susu.

In this life,

your relationship is part of your destiny.

Whatever you do,

you won't change it.

If you don't want to owe him,

you have to owe the world.

When we were at the Barren Abyss,

I mentioned

a dream,

a teardrop,

and a thread.

Have you understood them?

The tear is the Soul-Slaying Teardrop.

The thread is the love line of Tantai Jin.

The dream…

Is it the Fleeting-Life Prajna?

Since you've guessed them right,

why haven't you realized?

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Sangjiu,

I'll take the punishment for you.

When my immortal body vanishes,

my divine marrow

will replace your devil bone.

Mingye!

Let go of me!

"My divine marrow

will replace your devil bone."

"My divine marrow

will replace your devil bone."

Everything happens for a reason.

Don't indulge in foolishness.

Seize the chance.

"My divine marrow
will replace your devil bone."

If he loses the evil bone,

the Devil God won't return to life.

With the power of the thunder,

Mingye replaced her devil bone
with his divine marrow.

Similarly, I can replace the evil bone
with the immortal marrow.

But my body has no power now,

let alone the immortal marrow.

What should I do?

That hurts.

With my weak body,

how can I build the immortal marrow

to trigger the lightning tribulation?

It's a gem that I forged
from all the immortal marrow

of the entire Flying Serpent Clan.

The power of all those immortals
is condensed in this tiny thing.

It's capable
of overturning heaven and earth.

Why don't I call it

World-Alluring Jade?

World-Alluring Jade.

That explains it.

So this is what people call karma.

What is this place?

This place looks so familiar.

I think I've been here before.

This is where Tantai Jin lived
when he was little.

This is the Cold Palace.

Have you ever seen your mother?

I haven't either.

They say I don't have a mother.

Yue Ruanruan.

You're awake.

How are you feeling?

Here.

Take the medicine.

What's this bracelet for?

-Why can't I take it off?
-I don't know.

It looks like a divine weapon or artifact.

Did Tantai Jin put it on you

to stop you from escaping?

I won't escape.

Then take the medicine

and get well.

Being alive is the most important thing.

They said you didn't eat or drink.

I thought you didn't want the medicine

and wanted to die.

How can it be?

Good.

I've lived for so long.

I know that

where there's life,

there's hope.

Cheer up.

If I absorb all the power I could
from World-Alluring Jade,

I'll definitely be retaliated heavily.

Even if I die,

I mustn't die
before completing these things.

Jize's barrier won't last long.

I have to speed up.

Your Majesty.

This is the elixir refined
by the warlocks today.

Your life is reduced for Ye Xiwu.

I'll make the warlocks
refine elixirs day and night

to extend your life.

This is a drop in the bucket.

But it might be good.

If I'm still alive,

Ye Xiwu won't die.

She mustn't die.

I'm not done with her.

Your Majesty.

It seems that
she no longer commits suicide.

She ate the food we sent today.

Did she?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why don't

you go see her?

Ask her about the spikes' origin

so we can figure out how to pull them out.

Nian Baiyu.

As long as she's alive,

I don't want to know if she has meals

or anything like that.

I'm not interested.

Yes.

What a pity.

When World-Alluring Jade retaliates me,

I won't see the stars clearly.

Will I

not be able to see
his face clearly anymore?

Tantai Jin.

I've owed you in this lifetime.

However, my life
doesn't belong only to me anymore.

I'll repay you

with my life.

As expected,

with the World-Alluring Jade,

my cultivation has advanced considerably.

If I speed it up,

the immortal marrow
should be completed soon.

I'm almost there.

His Majesty
has been working diligently lately.

Old men like us can't keep up with him.

Isn't His Majesty being too harsh

with regulating us officials lately?

He seems to be in a bad mood.

It's more than a bad mood.

His Majesty seems
to have health issues these days.

Could the rumor be true

that His Majesty's meridians
are badly injured and will die soon?

Don't say that.

Stop talking nonsense. Let's go.

CHENMING HALL

This puppeteering spell

is recorded
in the Yiyue Tribe's ancient books.

However, it usually
can only control one person.

After I improve it with Chixiao Sect's
Instrument Forging Method,

you can control an army of thousands.

Mighty Ruo Water,

control their souls.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

These civilians the king of Sheng sent us

will be your soldiers to fight for you

and listen to your commands.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

With the 10,000 Nether Army,

our great plan will definitely succeed.

Your Majesty.

Recently,

it has been reported again
that some people

are turning civilians
into demonic puppet soldiers

on the southern border.

They are large in number

and are no longer
those small groups like before.

Did you find out who's behind this?

According to the scouts,

the southern border is covered by miasma.

The source of these demonic soldiers

seems to be deep in the poisonous miasma.

They can't probe deeper.

Since only Sheng civilians are involved,

most ministers think this can be ignored.

Although they were adherents
of the Sheng Kingdom,

they're people of the Jing Kingdom now.

Go investigate immediately.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

there's another thing.

What is it?

Ye Xiwu was found unconscious
on the ground this morning.

She has regained consciousness now.

We couldn't find out the cause.

We can only presume
it's due to her weak body.

Also,

her hearing seems to have declined

and she has poor eyesight.

It could be due to living indoors
for a long time.

Your Majesty,
please send a physician to treat her.

There's no need to report

as long as she's not dead.

Why is the bucket full of water?

When did this happen?

Congratulations, your spell is completed.

Now, you have
the Ruo Water Puppets to fight for you.

You can also devour
the demonic power without limit.

You can definitely k*ll Tantai Jin

and get back to the throne.

You don't need to comfort me.

I'm perfectly aware.

Swallowing and devouring
the demonic energy

causes me to look like this now.

My days are numbered.

I'll die soon.

All this is

because I refused to accept my fate.

I'll do anything

to fulfill my ambition.

But you…

You've been following me
since I was young.

I must thank you.

I've been following you

since you were young,

before you were the crown prince.

I'm willing to follow you

until the end.

Spread the news
that I'm on the southern border.

When Tantai Jin knows,

he'll definitely come personally.

I'll drag him to hell with me.

This fight between him and me

won't stop until death.

It will never be reconciled.

Since you have such a resolution,

you'll definitely make it.

I'm willing to assist you with my life.

Everyone, listen.

-Let's go to w*r!
-Your Majesty,

the mastermind behind the demonic soldiers

is indeed Tantai Minglang.

Now, he's hiding on the southern border

and controlling civilians
with demonic spells.

He has gathered 10,000 puppets

and has an evil woman cultivator with him.

According to the eunuchs
in the palace of Sheng,

it was she who advised the king of Sheng

to hold rituals with your mother's bones.

I shall

command thee

by myself.

-Wise decision!
-Wise decision!

-Wise decision!
-Wise decision!

-Wise decision!
-Wise decision!

-Wise decision!
-Wise decision!

THE CAPITAL OF JING

Due to World-Alluring Jade's side effects,

my body can't last too long.

I'm about to forge the immortal marrow.

With it,

I can trigger the lightning tribulation.

I hope there's still time.

Your Majesty,

according to the refugees who got out,

the thick fog
started to appear a few days ago

and the people in it

lost contact with the outside world.

This should be

Tantai Minglang's place
of demonic cultivation.

Your Majesty, there should be
many trapped civilians inside.

I've sent men to probe first.

The troops will pass
after safety is confirmed.

What is going on?

What's that?

Get them out of there.
Something is not right.

-This fog is poisonous.
-I'll rescue them.

The poisonous miasma
is too dangerous to go in.

My third brother.

You're so wary.

However, the southern border
has been turned into a poisonous fortress.

I guarantee that
anyone who comes shall not return.

Your ability to control little animals

won't be of use here.

Let this place

be your burial ground.

This terrain is quite dangerous.

I'm afraid Tantai Minglang
has been waiting in ambush.

I must first clear the poisonous miasma

to reduce our casualties.

-What?
-What's going on?

-What happened?
-Look. What's that?

-It's the miasma.
-It has dispersed.

-Your Majesty.
-Looks like the rumor is true.

His heart and meridians are truly injured.

Let me see how long

your injured heart can last.

Spread my order.

Whoever kills Tantai Jin
shall be a marquis!

-k*ll Tantai Jin!
-k*ll Tantai Jin!

We mustn't fight a protracted w*r.

The border is full of dangers.

We must have a quick battle

in case the morale drops.

Baiyu.

-Follow me closely.
-Yes.

Protect His Majesty!

-Charge!
-Charge!

Tantai Jin is eager to save his people.

He's forcing out his power.

Just let him show off for now.

When his power runs out,

we will be well-prepared.

Fu Yu,

I'll go first.

You come later.

Tantai Jin.

Let's see how many people you can save.

You'll regret it

after you occupy the poisonous fortress.

VIRTUOUS AND ELEGANT

Why aren't you at the battleground?

His Majesty
has already secured multiple victories,

but you're here wielding your weapon.

Does His Majesty not trust you?

That's not true.

His Majesty told me to guard the capital

in case the rebels launch a sneak attack.

Tantai Minglang is a treacherous one.

His Majesty
gave this important mission to me.

It means he trusts me.

Then you're literally sleeping
with your weapon.

Well, I'm different.

I just want to stay in the capital
to slack off.

Captain Pianran, don't you know

if I'm sleeping with my weapon or not?

Ye Qingyu.

You've become good at smooth-talking.

Focus on your practice.

I'll go and check at the city gates.

Look at those dark clouds.

How unusual.

There's thunder.

The lightning tribulation is coming.

Ye Xiwu, you must hang on.

-The sky looks weird.
-No, it's not.

This seems like an ominous sign.

Is His Majesty suffering a defeat?

We've only lived a few peaceful days.

-Don't tell me…
-Breaking news!

Breaking news!

Breaking news!

With His Majesty taking the lead,

our troops smashed into enemy territory.

We will conquer
the poisonous fortress soon.

We've captured more than 3,000 rebels

and saved over 10,000 civilians.

Is there any special occasion today?

Why is everybody so excited?

Don't you know it yet?

The rebel Tantai Minglang
has been defeated.

Your Highness,

I've found a side door to the old town

at the northwest corner
of the capital of Jing.

Since it's being retrofitted,

a few people go through it

and there aren't many guards there.

What's your business?

Material delivery.

Stop for a routine inspection.

You don't look familiar.

Are you carrying any prohibited goods?

Enemy attack!

Tantai Jin.

I didn't expect

there's someone
you actually care for in this world.

I'm surprised.

It's the thunder.

I'm about to break through.

-What's happening?
-Run!

Tantai Jin.

I'm coming.

Your Highness,

the gate to the capital of Jing is open.

You'll achieve your goal very soon.

Well done.

Who are you burglars

who dared to trespass on my territory?

A mere fox demon

wants to guard Tantai Jin's city?

I like to eat
blackhearted demons the most.

A mixture of a human and a demon like you

perfectly suits my taste.

Your Highness,

the Ruo Water Puppets are ready.

Mighty Ruo Water,

control her soul.

Please enter the palace first.

Leave this fox demon to me.

Do your best.

Yes.

Let's go.

Slay our way in!

Attack!

Don't hurt innocent civilians!

Are you being serious with me?

Demon-Hunting Crossbow!

Fu Yu!

Ye Qingyu!

Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu.

Pianran, look at me.

I have something to tell you.

I've failed my kingdom and family.

Now, I'll die to protect the civilians

and my loved one.

This death is worth it.

What are you talking about?

You won't die.

I won't let you die!

Ye Qingyu.

I thought

I would never be as good as Jiang Rao

because he's already dead.

He'll live in your heart forever.

I didn't expect that now I'm also…

Ye Qingyu, you're not Jiang Rao.

You don't need to be Jiang Rao!

You're Ye Qingyu!

Pianran.

If only

I could meet you earlier.

I could then fall in love with you earlier

and cherish you.

Pianran.

Demons live much longer than humans.

Will you still remember me

after a few hundred years?

You jerk.

If you dare to die,

I'll forget everything about you!

Just forget about me.

Don't feel sad for me.

After living the best days of my life

with you,

there's nothing I regret

when I leave the world.

What a shame.

We can't

leave the world together.

Ye Qingyu!

Ye Qingyu!

Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu.

You fool.

Do you think
I would make the same mistake twice

on the same thing?

Losing Jiang Rao made me suffer so much.

I can't lose you again.

Please forgive my selfishness.

If fate has a plan for us,

we will meet again someday.

Let me,

your Pianran,

leave the world first.

Qingyu.

I couldn't see my heart in the past

because I lost my love line.

Now,

my heart belongs to you.

It only belongs to you.
