01x18 - Episode 18

[bunniefuu]

I was powerful enough
to move mountains and seas,

but I still lost to her.

Ye Bingchang,

you're finally awake.

Who are you?

Why are you talking to me?

After experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna,

what have you learned?

You've been jealous of Ye Xiwu
since you were little,

but you couldn't do anything about it.

You could only lie to yourself,

convincing yourself over and over again

that Ye Xiwu is

the noble daughter of a legitimate wife

while you are

just a lowly concubine's daughter,

so you are inferior to her

and don't deserve everything she has.

How pathetic!

Nonsense.

I don't need to compare with her at all.

Really?

Why did you take

someone else's love line as your own?

Does your husband, Xiao Lin,

truly love you?

What if you didn't have

that extra love line?

How did you know that?

Since having this treasure,

you've gained extraordinary charm

that can conquer any man, haven't you?

However,

good and bad things come in pairs.

The dream demon kidnapped you

because she was attracted
by this love line.

So are you here to kindly warn me?

If you want to defeat Ye Xiwu,

you will need more than love lines.

In Fleeting-Life Prajna,

even if you were

the saintess of the Flying Serpent Clan,

didn't she once again

take everything from you?

Tianhuan was born

so high and noble.

If not for loving the wrong man,

would she have had such a bad ending?

What exactly are you trying to say?

Life is short.

If you only rely on your good looks,

bet everything

on a man,

and fail to seize the chances,

you will always be

nothing but a loser.

Tianhuan's tragedy will be

your future.

I'm not Tianhuan

and I have nothing to do with her!

Tianhuan had a flying serpent's power,

but all she knew was jealousy

and pleasing Mingye.

I, Ye Bingchang, am nothing like her.

What's different about you?

In this world,

nobody is more worthy of my love than me.

Tianhuan is willing to k*ll for her man,

but I will only do that for myself!

Clever girl.

May you be more fortunate than Tianhuan.

Tianhuan.

It's God-Obliterating Lightning.

Sangjiu.

Sangjiu, what is that?

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?

Do you want to use it
to revive your father and brother?

So are you here to stop me again?

Sangjiu, don't use it.

You k*lled immortals,
extracted their marrow,

and forged this evil object

with devil fire.

It is not in harmony with Heaven.

Because of this,

the lightning punishment has come.

Everything has a cause and an effect.

Once you use its power,

someday

you will have to repay it.

You won't have a good ending.

I won't have a good ending?

From the moment
I withdrew the Water-Calming Sword,

I haven't cared for any good ending!

Mingye,

you are overstepping.

Out of my way!

What?

Do you want me to pay for them

with my life?

No.

I just thought of another way.

Sangjiu,

you don't have to be a devil anymore.

Everything

can still be saved.

What's your solution?

With the so-called Bone-Refining Seal?

Or did you borrow another treasure

from someone else?

I've sealed the Bone-Refining Seal

within the Numinous Terrace.

You're right.

This shouldn't be a trade

or a favor

but compensation.

What do you intend to do?

Sangjiu,

look.

This is God-Obliterating Lightning.

It is powerful enough

to shatter an immortal's soul.

It appeared

because you defied Heaven

and forged the World-Alluring Jade.

If it strikes you,

you may not survive.

Is this lightning punishment for me?

I can't believe it.

I was just one step away

from reviving everyone.

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!

Who allowed you to do this?

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

I won't allow it!

Let go of me!

Sangjiu,

do you know?

I never found a chance

to apologize to you.

It's my first time being a husband.

I didn't know how to love you.

And all this time,

I haven't done anything for you.

Now I'm starting to understand,

but you no longer want anything.

I failed to protect you.

I'm sorry.

You did nothing wrong.

Your husband wasn't good enough.

It was me

who made you a demon

and degenerate into a devil.

I often recall that bamboo forest.

I recall our home

and those bitter decoctions.

I recall

you tricking me

into picking leaves endlessly.

I also recall you,

running, jumping,

sleeping,

laughing,

and crying.

If I could choose,

I really wish

that I could stay with you forever

in that cottage in the bamboo forest,

peacefully living the rest of our lives.

It won't work.

It won't work!

Mingye,

no matter what you say or do,

whether you're alive or dead,

I won't forgive you!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

I know.

Hate me just like this

and then

live on.

Mingye,

I actually should've died long ago.

My physical body

had been devoured to nothing

when I was in Barren Abyss.

I don't understand.

Why do they have to suffer

for the mistakes I made?

Why do we have to be bullied

while Tianhuan can be forgiven?

Because of the hatred in my heart,

I didn't die.

Instead, I transformed

into a demon entity.

And so,

I won't survive this lightning punishment.

Nor will I be able

to accept your divine marrow.

You can never

make it up to me.

You owe me this.

Sangjiu!

Sangjiu!

Sangjiu.

Sangjiu.

Sangjiu.

Since you want to become a devil,

then I

shall become a devil with you.

Who am I?

Am I Li Susu,

Ye Xiwu,

or Sangjiu?

What happened to its eyes?

This dragon has been sleeping,

stuck in a dreamscape

called Fleeting-Life Prajna.

Whether it becomes a devil or god

will be decided at this moment.

This won't do.

If my soul disintegrates like this,

Mingye will utterly despair

and degenerate into a devil.

Mingye, you must decide carefully.

Since you couldn't

pull Sangjiu out of her fate as a devil,

then live on properly for her.

The Mingye whom Sangjiu deeply loved

isn't someone who bows to fate.

He has always been

the armored God of w*r.

The devil soldiers haven't left yet.

That means

I might still get to see you today.

If I cultivate hard enough

and get into Shangqing Realm,

I wonder

if I'll get to speak with you.

Will I be able to tell you

that there is a little clam spirit

that has always liked you?

She likes

the God of w*r who protects the Mohe River

and the Three Realms.

She likes you

for being upright and unyielding.

Sangjiu.

I…

I didn't become a devil.

I know.

You fought with the Devil God

and protected
the Four Continents and Three Realms.

All along,

you have been that God of w*r

who is always protecting others.

But I failed to protect you.

It's fine.

I forgive you this time.

Just this once.

The thought of becoming a devil

shouldn't be what I choose.

I will only ever be

the w*r God Mingye loved by Sangjiu.

The Soul-Slaying Teardrop.

Ye Xiwu.

What is this feeling?

They finally came out.

Xiao Lin.

Ye Xiwu.

Ye Xiwu!

This dragon

is truly despicable.

I've summoned my army here for nothing.

Your Majesty,

the water-parting barrier is disappearing.

We must return to shore quickly.

Mingye,

why did you choose me

to enter your Fleeting-Life Prajna?

We're finally out of this damn river

and back on solid ground.

Xiwu.

k*ll her!

Xiwu, I'm your sister.

Bingchang, sorry.

I was just…

It's fine.

It's all over.

Bingchang, Ms. Xiwu,

are you all right?

Where is that sleeping dragon?

It was long dead

at the bottom of the river.

After 10,000 years,

all that is left are its bones.

But it left behind an illusion

that lures others in.

In the end,

it lured you into experiencing its dream.

Why would it do that?

For the prophecy.

To destroy the evil bone,

you will need three keys.

A dream.

You can only awaken it

by entering its dream.

A teardrop.

And a thread.

Mingye didn't end up turning into a devil.

He was troubled by love,

so he left behind this illusion

when he died.

It was probably
to enlighten the destined ones.

What did you see in there?

What did he enlighten you with?

Sangjiu,

I hope that one day

somewhere in this world,

you and Mingye

can meet each other again.

Fortunately, Tantai Jin
didn't get a demonic dragon.

Let's go back to camp first.

I still have some unfinished business.

I'm not going back with you.

Are you kidding, Ms. Xiwu?

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to Jing Kingdom.

If I succeed, I'll tell you about it.

Ms. Xiwu!

Do you have a death wish?

You just ruined Tantai Jin's grand plan.

If you go back and get caught,

he will t*rture you in every way!

Let her go.

I don't know what you're going to do,

but I believe you'll definitely succeed.

Everyone,

we shall meet again someday

in this big world.

Take care.

One more thing, Mr. Pang.

This thing is called
the Mirror of the Past.

When you return
to the immortal sect someday,

remember to take it back
to Xiaoyao Sect for safekeeping.

Jize deliberately adjusted the time

up a few months

so that I could come out in time

for Tantai Jin

to capture the dragon.

A dream and a teardrop.

Now I've experienced it

and acquired it.

Next,

I must make the Devil God grow a love line

and fall in love with me.

Then there is only one thing I need to do.

Your Majesty, you've seemed absent-minded

since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.

Every day you wait here for a long time.

What exactly happened there?

Why do I keep reminiscing

about Fleeting-Life Prajna?

Sangjiu.

No.

Ye Xiwu.

They look so alike.

I'm having a hard time telling them apart.

This cloak is so ugly.

I don't want it anymore.

You can have it.

Wake up!

Tantai Jin!

You're finally awake.

I took care of you all night.

I'm exhausted.

Finish your medicine.

I'm going to bed.

Tantai Jin,

you must live on.

From today on,

you will have all of your meals here.

Chuntao will bring food to you.

You will eat whatever she puts before you.

Don't you dare eat

those disgusting, nasty food scraps again.

It smells good.

This rice seems safe to eat.

Tantai Jin,

I'll drag you back to Sheng Kingdom

and lock you up.

You will never see the light of day again.

I'll be watching you

every second of every day.

As long as I'm alive,

don't ever think
of devouring demonic elixirs

and harming others.

The dream has ended.

So many days have already passed.

Ye Xiwu must have left with Xiao Lin.

Your Majesty,

General Ye brought men to receive you.

Let's go back to camp at Jia Pass.

Tantai Jin!

Haven't you already left?

Why did you come back?

For better or worse,

I have to follow my husband.

What? Don't you want me anymore?

Sweet talk.

Why is the teardrop cold again?

Tie her up.

What are you doing?

I've made up my mind to follow you.

I swam here!

I also walked for days.

My feet are worn out.

Did you swim here?

Give me that.

Captain Pianran,

lead her back.

See if she's possessed by something evil.

Remember to check carefully.

All right.

Wait!

My little darling,

what the heck are you up to?

Just stay put in here.

Don't play any tricks.

Otherwise, he really will peel off my fur.

I'm most willing to follow you.

Why would I run away?

They really treat me like a prisoner.

The first step is always the hardest.

It's true that if you let go of your ego,

you'll be able to say anything.

What exactly should I do

to make the Little Devil God love me

and grow a love line?

When I clung to him by the river earlier,

the teardrop seemed warm for a moment.

I guess I'll need to take the initiative.

Ms. Xiwu, hold on.

Ms. Xiwu!

Who is there?

It's me!

Let her in.

Can I sleep here tonight?

No.

Did Sangjiu leave you

with some kind of trauma that night?

Shut up.

In this case,

didn't you learn anything

after going through Fleeting-Life Prajna?

Learn?

Ye Xiwu,

you're so shameless.

What goes through your mind?

It's not that.

Why do you always have weird thoughts?

-I…
-I meant realizations.

Realizations.

Realizations?

Of course I have some.

First,

Mingye is such a fool.

He actually gave up the power of a god

for a woman.

Second,

the ancient Devil God is truly mighty.

One day,

I will take his place.

Please, no!

Why are you admiring the Devil God?

Do you know what, Tantai Jin?

It's such a poignant

and heart-wrenching love story.

Don't you have any other thoughts?

For example,

I think that if I like someone,

I must not be as humble as Sangjiu.

I have to say it out loud.

Say it out loud?

That was

why I came for you.

Nian Baiyu.

-At your service.
-Drag her out of here.

Tantai Jin, are you feeling shy?

Drag her out.

Yes.

-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.

-Tantai Jin, you're blushing!
-I…

-Ms. Xiwu.
-You're definitely feeling shy!

Yes! Tantai Jin!

-You're being shy!
-Confine her in her tent.

Don't let her bother me again.

If she keeps wandering,

punish her with a caning!

Did the Soul-Slaying Teardrop

just warm up again?

As if I would be shy.

It's strange.

Whenever I think of Ye Xiwu these days,

I get an itch in my chest.

It's as if

something is making its way out.

Your Highness, are you tired?

No, my mind just wandered.

Are you still thinking
about Fleeting-Life Prajna?

Your Highness,

I didn't choose to enter the dream.

Nor did I want
to commit Tianhuan's atrocious acts.

That battle I fought against you
at the bottom of the Mohe River

still gives me the chills

when I recall it.

If you're going to blame me for it,

then I…

Why would I?

You're not Tianhuan.

And I'm not Sangyou.

We both know that it was just a dream.

Your Highness,

I'm a vulnerable woman.

My life is yours to protect.

Bingchang,

now our kingdom is at stake.

Although I'm the crown prince,

I'm also your husband.

No matter how things will end,

I will protect you well.

I will never leave you.

Why are you suddenly saying such things?

A man's misfortune

is often due to himself.

But a woman's misfortune

is often due to her husband.

Look at Sangjiu who married the wrong man

and eventually degenerated out of hatred.

I was her brother only in the dream,

but my heart still aches

when I think of her now.

Your Highness is so kindhearted.

But Xiwu has gone

to Jing Kingdom.

She is a king's wife

with unlimited prosperity and wealth.

She doesn't need a fake brother's concern.

Yes.

It was just a fleeting dream after all.

Now the one I must love and protect

is you.

Why did you take

someone else's love line as your own?

Does your husband, Xiao Lin,

truly love you?

What if you didn't have

that extra love line?

Yes, without the love line,

how could he love me

so truly like this?

Without the love line,

I would still be

that bullied and neglected daughter

of a concubine.

No one would care about me

or pity me.

I meekly smile for others every day

only for everything to be snatched away.

This Fleeting-Life dream
allowed me to clearly see myself

and my so-called family.

Ye Bingchang,

you must think more for yourself.

Put this love line to good use.

Your Majesty,

I've sent Ms. Xiwu back to her tent.

Have some tea.

-You…
-You…

Drag her out.

-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.

You're definitely feeling shy!

Yes! Tantai Jin!

You're being shy!

Why am I happy for no reason

when I see her?

JIA PASS

Pianran, I'll do anything in the world,

but not this.

You have no choice.

Having you clean the poultry pen

and look after these military provisions

is His Majesty's order.

Go.

How can Tantai Jin be so cruel?

Why are these geese so big?

I can't do this. My head hurts.

I have a cold sweat. I'm lightheaded.

Do you think

I don't know your little plan?

You came back this time

to seduce Tantai Jin, didn't you?

Is it that so obvious?

There's no need to be embarrassed.

However,

His Majesty will be returning

to the capital soon.

If you don't want

to be left behind raising geese at camp,

then you must

work hard now.

Seriously?

Don't leave yet!

PEOPLE SUPPORT KIND RULERS

Where is His Majesty?

He's patrolling the camp.

Why are you bringing your belongings?

Where are you headed?

I am to go to the capital

to handle family affairs.

Fine.

You're not comfortable here anyway.

It's better that you go back.

We'll also be back in a few days.

I'll go ahead first. I'll wait for you…

I'll wait for you all to return.

I'm here to inform you

that your wife is tending the geese now.

Men are the cruelest creatures.

Baiyu, go take a look.

No!

Tantai Jin, you're horrible!

Why does the Little Devil God's smile

seem different?

Am I seeing things?

Ye Xiwu.

She has a fever. Call the medic.

I'll give her medicine right away.

Get up.

Stop faking it.

Should I find some geese to wake you up?

What happened to me?

Having swam here,

you were vulnerable to the wind.

Also, you suffered a shock.

It's all your fault.

There are so many damn fowls.

They are everywhere.

Get up and eat something.

What do you have?

Boiled goose eggs.

Steamed goose egg custard.

Salted goose meat.

Seriously?

You slaughtered them all for one offense.

How horrifying.

Dig in.

But I'm so weak.

I can't raise the chopsticks

or peel an egg.

Could you feed me?

Ye Xiwu,

I'm afraid you not only caught a cold

but also some other illness

that has affected your head.

Medic!

Stop.

Why are you so heartless?

Would I never have seen you

if I didn't faint?

I'll count to three.

All right, I'll eat.

Does it taste good?

It's not bad.

Tantai Jin,

did you find it funny

when I was chased by geese just now?

You seemed quite delighted.

Did you feel a tickle in your heart?

And you couldn't help smiling?

I did.

Is that how happiness feels?

What happiness?

It's clearly evilness.

You enjoy watching me suffer.

The Little Devil God learned

to be happy.

Has his love line started to awaken

after experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna?

Then as long as I keep trying,

won't success be just around the corner?

Enjoy your meal.

Where are you going?

Since you're already fine,

get a good rest.

I'm leaving.

You're returning
to the capital in a few days.

Can you take me along?

Do you want to go to Jing Kingdom with me?

If not for this,

why did I swim across the river?

Yes.

I'm also wondering why.

Don't say something

like following your husband everywhere.

On the ship to Jing Kingdom,

you made it rather clear.

You don't want anything to do with me.

Didn't you leave with Xiao Lin yesterday?

Why didn't you just let him

bring you back to the Sheng Kingdom?

I just want to go with you.

Ye Xiwu,

you've been acting weird

since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.

I'll tell you this.

I'm not Mingye.

I'm not as righteous as he was.

I don't want to save the Three Realms

or protect all the people.

I know you're not Mingye.

And I'm not Sangjiu either.

But they were a couple.

We're also a couple.

Sangjiu and Mingye

didn't get to work things out in the end.

We still have a chance.

What's more, on my way here,

I met a lot of civilians.

They don't care who the king is.

They will go where they can survive.

You're a wise ruler.

Not only me, but everyone else as well,

likes you and wants to follow you.

Ye Xiwu,

nothing but lies comes out of your mouth.

How can I trust you?

I'm here and at your disposal anyway.

Believe what you want.

At my disposal?

A royal maid?

Yes.

Didn't you say you're at his disposal?

The royal maid's outfit is quite pretty.

Not bad.

A cold monarch

versus a sassy handmaid.

This is the right direction.

Your Highness,

it wasn't easy for me

to save you from the brink of death.

Please take care of your health.

Yes.

Thanks to you,

I can still live with no dignity

in this dark cave.

Is there any news about Tantai Jin?

I heard that Tantai Jin

has conquered Jia Pass.

He will return to the capital soon.

Those spineless ministers in court

have all paid allegiance to him.

How is he qualified

to be the king of Jing?

Your Highness,

no matter what they do,

I'll always be by your side.

Did you find the people

that I told you to look for?

Very good.

Let them all in.

All of the best sorcerers

of Jing Kingdom are here.

-Greetings, Your Highness.
-Greetings, Your Highness.

You're all seasoned cultivators.

I'll cut to the chase.

Do you know how Tantai Jin obtained

the ability to control demons?

I heard that he has been

hunting demon creatures

and devouring demonic elixirs.

-Yes.
-Devouring demonic elixirs.

-It's taboo!
-It's extremely risky.

Your Highness mustn't risk it!

Enough!

If Tantai Jin can do it,

why can't I?

I must

make him pay for what he did to me.

I will not wait one moment longer.
