WEBVTT

01:27.280 --> 01:30.960
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:35.440 --> 01:36.280
I am

01:37.399 --> 01:38.839
Ming Xian, Crown Prince
of Yaoguang Mountain.

01:38.920 --> 01:39.839
Since I was 13,

01:39.920 --> 01:41.920
I have fought in the Qingyun Tournament.

01:42.000 --> 01:44.440
I've brought victory to Yaoguang Mountain
for seven consecutive years.

01:48.839 --> 01:51.440
Since childhood, I've used magic
to disguise myself as a man.

01:51.520 --> 01:54.039
In the eyes of others, I am a man.

01:54.119 --> 01:57.679
They call me
the mightiest Warrior God of Hexu

01:57.759 --> 01:58.800
and see me as a hero.

01:59.800 --> 02:01.000
But I am no hero.

02:01.080 --> 02:01.919
MING ZHENGHUI
EMPEROR OF YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

02:02.000 --> 02:04.759
I simply never dared to relax

02:06.880 --> 02:09.400
because winning
the Blessed Rain is my duty.

02:10.479 --> 02:11.840
Ever since I could remember,

02:11.920 --> 02:14.400
I've been told that I could only win,

02:14.480 --> 02:16.400
that I must win,
and that I must keep winning.

02:16.480 --> 02:21.640
-Ming Xian!
-Ming Xian!

02:43.320 --> 02:46.440
JI BOZAI, A WARRIOR OF JIXING ABYSS

02:49.040 --> 02:51.480
I knew there was a fish
that slipped through the net.

03:06.200 --> 03:07.160
Why do you not strike?

03:25.600 --> 03:27.160
-Why have they both vanished?
-Gone?

03:27.239 --> 03:29.040
Ming Xian can't lose
to Jixing Abyss, right?

03:29.120 --> 03:30.280
Of course he won.

03:30.359 --> 03:32.160
I am seeing it with my own eyes.
He won't lose.

03:32.239 --> 03:35.560
Your Highness, can we really
defeat Ming Xian this time?

03:44.560 --> 03:46.600
My spiritual power
is restrained in this space.

03:46.679 --> 03:48.359
I can't even maintain my armor.

03:48.440 --> 03:49.840
This man is no ordinary fighter.

03:57.079 --> 03:59.160
A Jixing Abyss warrior
with such spiritual power…

03:59.239 --> 04:00.519
Who are you really?

04:02.040 --> 04:05.679
You are trapped in my Spirit Well,
yet you still speak with such conceit?

04:05.760 --> 04:08.359
Even within your Spirit Well,

04:08.440 --> 04:10.799
I can defeat you with weakened strength.

04:11.480 --> 04:12.320
Is that so?

04:58.960 --> 05:00.440
Impressive, Warrior God.

05:00.520 --> 05:03.159
You even forged a weapon
with your own blood.

05:03.760 --> 05:04.919
I will win.

05:06.240 --> 05:08.000
That is the only thing I know.

05:08.640 --> 05:09.599
Everyone can lose.

05:10.840 --> 05:12.240
You can too.

05:55.440 --> 05:58.400
JING SHU, EMPRESS OF YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

05:58.479 --> 06:00.280
-Ming Xian is defeated?
-Look, Father!

06:00.359 --> 06:01.200
He's severely injured.

06:01.280 --> 06:03.240
-Yes.
-How disappointing.

06:41.200 --> 06:43.320
In this tournament of two realms,

06:43.400 --> 06:45.240
Jixing Abyss wins!

06:45.320 --> 06:47.159
Jixing Abyss rises.

06:47.240 --> 06:49.799
Yaoguang Mountain falls.

06:49.880 --> 06:52.320
Let the Blessed Rain descend!

06:52.400 --> 06:54.280
Your Highness, we have won!

06:54.919 --> 06:56.320
I knew I did not misjudge him.

07:11.840 --> 07:14.120
-Blessed Rain!
-It's the Blessed Rain!

07:14.200 --> 07:16.400
-It really is the Blessed Rain!
-It really is the Blessed Rain!

07:18.719 --> 07:20.520
Seven years have passed.

07:20.599 --> 07:23.400
The Blessed Rain has finally
descended upon Jixing Abyss!

07:29.840 --> 07:31.359
How dare this loser show his face?

07:31.440 --> 07:32.799
-Exactly!
-Right!

07:32.880 --> 07:34.120
-It's all his fault!
-How dare he?

07:34.200 --> 07:35.159
Right!

07:35.239 --> 07:37.280
The Blessed Rain was within reach,
yet he let it slip away!

07:37.359 --> 07:38.320
Without the Blessed Rain,

07:38.400 --> 07:40.039
Yaoguang Mountain's
spirit light will fade,

07:40.120 --> 07:41.200
and the land will dry up!

07:41.280 --> 07:42.200
Without the Blessed Rain,

07:42.280 --> 07:43.479
no spirit stones will form.

07:43.560 --> 07:45.080
How are we going to live?

07:45.159 --> 07:46.400
Exactly.

07:46.479 --> 07:48.760
You don't deserve to be our Warrior God!

07:50.159 --> 07:51.960
-How can we survive?
-Exactly.

07:52.039 --> 07:53.400
We are doomed.

08:03.000 --> 08:05.400
I am Ming Xian,
Crown Prince of Yaoguang Mountain.

08:06.000 --> 08:09.479
Since I was 13, I have fought
in the Qingyun Tournament.

08:09.560 --> 08:10.880
I won for seven consecutive years,

08:11.840 --> 08:14.359
yet it feels as though I never won at all.

08:24.280 --> 08:26.479
YAOGUANG PALACE, YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

08:26.560 --> 08:28.479
CHAMBER OF EASE, YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

08:38.240 --> 08:39.559
Ming Xian!

08:39.640 --> 08:41.240
Ming Xian, what happened to you?

08:41.760 --> 08:43.480
TWENTY-SEVEN
MING XIAN'S COMPANION BEAST

08:43.559 --> 08:44.400
Twenty-Seven,

08:45.400 --> 08:47.319
my spiritual veins are broken.

08:49.920 --> 08:51.000
How can that be?

08:52.560 --> 08:53.920
It seems I have been poisoned

08:54.439 --> 08:55.959
by something potent.

09:11.360 --> 09:12.199
He did it.

09:13.000 --> 09:14.360
Despicable.

09:20.880 --> 09:21.720
Mother.

09:24.160 --> 09:25.640
I order you to leave.

09:25.720 --> 09:27.079
Depart Yaoguang Mountain at once.

09:31.160 --> 09:34.520
Mother, are you banishing me?

09:34.600 --> 09:35.880
Your spiritual veins are severed.

09:35.959 --> 09:38.439
If you remain here, you will only die

09:38.520 --> 09:40.480
at the hands of those coveting
the Crown Prince's seat.

09:41.120 --> 09:41.959
Mother,

09:42.040 --> 09:43.880
I can restore my spiritual veins.

09:44.560 --> 09:46.000
At the next Qingyun Tournament,

09:46.079 --> 09:47.439
I will win back a thousandfold

09:47.520 --> 09:49.360
of what Yaoguang Mountain has lost.

09:49.439 --> 09:51.520
I can still be of use to you.

09:51.600 --> 09:53.520
Please, do not send me away.

09:54.280 --> 09:56.560
Ming Xian, listen.

09:57.199 --> 09:59.079
I am not casting you out.

09:59.160 --> 10:00.920
I just want you to live and be safe.

10:01.560 --> 10:02.720
How laughable my life has been,

10:02.800 --> 10:05.920
ever cautious, walking on thin ice.

10:06.000 --> 10:07.880
From the moment you were born,

10:07.959 --> 10:11.000
I made you use the Veil of Illusion
to take on the guise of a prince.

10:11.920 --> 10:16.120
You could have lived
as a simple fairy maiden.

10:17.880 --> 10:20.079
This supreme art of deception

10:20.160 --> 10:22.120
has made you appear to all

10:22.920 --> 10:24.760
as a man.

10:26.079 --> 10:29.280
But with your spiritual veins broken,

10:30.160 --> 10:32.079
all we've done is now in vain.

10:33.720 --> 10:34.920
Ming Xian,

10:35.000 --> 10:36.760
staying in Yaoguang Mountain

10:36.839 --> 10:38.360
will only bring you danger.

10:38.439 --> 10:39.839
I am letting you go.

10:39.920 --> 10:41.720
Remove the Veil of Illusion

10:42.319 --> 10:44.680
and return to your true form.

10:44.760 --> 10:46.760
No one will know who you are.

10:47.640 --> 10:49.319
Live well,

10:50.040 --> 10:51.760
and never come back.

11:00.680 --> 11:01.719
Mother, don't worry.

11:02.439 --> 11:06.040
I will restore my spiritual veins
and rejoin the tournament one day.

11:09.319 --> 11:13.079
TWO MONTHS LATER

11:13.160 --> 11:17.040
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS, JIXING ABYSS

11:20.839 --> 11:22.000
One more.

11:40.760 --> 11:43.439
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS

11:50.880 --> 11:52.040
Immortal Ji?

11:54.040 --> 11:55.360
I am going to another immortal then.

11:55.439 --> 11:56.280
Don't go.

11:58.280 --> 12:01.920
Immortal Ji, you really treat
Moonlit Blossoms as your own home.

12:02.000 --> 12:03.760
The moment the Qingyun Tournament ended,

12:03.839 --> 12:05.079
you came here.

12:05.160 --> 12:07.959
You've even stayed here
longer than I have.

12:08.600 --> 12:10.920
I fought bitterly in the tournament

12:11.000 --> 12:12.760
for no other reason

12:12.839 --> 12:15.319
than to have whatever I wanted.

12:16.240 --> 12:17.920
No, you want

12:19.000 --> 12:20.640
whatever I have.

12:21.560 --> 12:22.439
Oh?

12:23.520 --> 12:24.360
Then tell me,

12:28.680 --> 12:29.600
what do you have?

12:33.680 --> 12:36.000
Immortal Ji, have a grape.

12:41.839 --> 12:44.560
With so many fairies waiting here for me,

12:45.839 --> 12:47.560
I shouldn't favor one over another, right?

12:49.560 --> 12:50.760
-Many thanks, Immortal Ji!
-Immortal Ji!

12:54.920 --> 12:56.880
Sir, please.

12:58.000 --> 13:01.000
MING XIAN
CROWN PRINCE OF YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN

13:01.079 --> 13:05.400
MING YI
AN ATTENDANT OF MOONLIT BLOSSOMS

13:08.360 --> 13:09.760
That Ji Bozai…

13:09.839 --> 13:11.480
Since winning the Qingyun Tournament,

13:11.560 --> 13:14.280
he's spent his days in debauchery.

13:14.360 --> 13:16.640
As expected, he is a shameless scoundrel.

13:17.280 --> 13:19.599
Two months have passed,
yet I still cannot get close to him.

13:20.199 --> 13:22.199
Today, he's hosting
a grand banquet to celebrate

13:22.280 --> 13:23.680
being named the Qingyun Warrior.

13:23.760 --> 13:26.839
I must seize this chance to approach him.

13:28.520 --> 13:31.439
I heard from my friends
about the Qingyun Tournament.

13:31.520 --> 13:33.560
You know how it is in places like this.

13:33.640 --> 13:35.880
One tale can turn
into hundreds of versions.

13:36.959 --> 13:41.160
They say you fight valiantly
and are unmatched in battle.

13:41.240 --> 13:42.079
SUN LIAO, A WARRIOR OF JIXING ABYSS

13:42.160 --> 13:43.719
Surely you couldn't have been defeated

13:43.800 --> 13:46.480
by Ming Xian with a single move.

13:47.199 --> 13:48.959
Who said I was?

13:49.959 --> 13:51.520
Was it Ji Bozai?

13:51.599 --> 13:54.079
No, Immortal Sun.

13:54.160 --> 13:56.560
Ji Bozai is full of nonsense.

13:58.520 --> 13:59.560
What…

14:00.079 --> 14:02.480
What does this have to do
with Immortal Ji?

14:02.560 --> 14:04.400
Then why did you say such things to me?

14:04.480 --> 14:06.000
You're mistaken, Immortal Sun.

14:06.079 --> 14:07.000
I only meant…

14:08.520 --> 14:09.360
Now.

14:21.319 --> 14:23.400
First, play the damsel in distress.

14:23.479 --> 14:25.000
Then I'll get close to him.

14:30.760 --> 14:31.599
Excuse me.

14:33.360 --> 14:34.640
He didn't fall for it?

14:42.120 --> 14:45.000
Did you think
Immortal Ji would take your side?

14:47.120 --> 14:49.199
Immortal Sun, this is a misunderstanding.

14:49.280 --> 14:52.360
Immortal Ji
never said a word about you to me.

14:52.439 --> 14:54.079
Please, don't blame him.

14:56.120 --> 14:56.959
Ji Bozai,

14:57.760 --> 14:59.959
have you been spreading rumors
about how I fared in the tournament?

15:00.880 --> 15:03.160
You, a former Sunken Abyss prisoner,
only gained spiritual veins by chance

15:03.760 --> 15:05.439
and became a warrior
through Princess Tianji's favor.

15:06.199 --> 15:07.040
What,

15:07.120 --> 15:09.520
is gossip behind people's backs
all you're good for?

15:21.599 --> 15:24.599
Sun Liao, you are actually quite skilled.

15:25.199 --> 15:28.439
It's just that Ming Xian
struck too quickly.

15:28.520 --> 15:29.360
You…!

15:34.560 --> 15:36.640
What a pity.
You are a step too late again.

15:37.520 --> 15:38.560
You…

15:42.439 --> 15:44.000
Well, well, once again I see you

15:44.079 --> 15:46.560
fighting for the sake

15:46.640 --> 15:48.240
of a fairy maiden, Immortal Ji.

15:54.599 --> 15:55.800
Sun Liao,

15:56.920 --> 15:58.839
this is Immortal Ji's celebratory banquet.

15:58.920 --> 16:00.040
Don't make a scene.

16:05.560 --> 16:06.439
Consider yourself lucky.

16:20.240 --> 16:22.800
This man is truly hard to approach.

16:23.479 --> 16:24.959
I must think of another way.

16:30.400 --> 16:32.280
Immortal Ji, the food and wine are ready.

16:32.359 --> 16:33.359
The banquet may begin.

16:39.280 --> 16:41.680
Congratulations, Immortal Ji,
on winning the Qingyun Tournament.

16:42.240 --> 16:43.719
May I have the honor of toasting you?

16:44.520 --> 16:47.000
Immortal Ji, your valor in the tournament

16:47.079 --> 16:48.920
brought the Blessed Rain to Jixing Abyss.

16:49.000 --> 16:49.959
It is an honor to see you today.

16:50.040 --> 16:51.359
Allow me to toast you.

16:51.439 --> 16:54.599
Master said my time was running out.

16:54.680 --> 16:56.719
Ming Xian, let me see your injury
from the Qingyun Tournament.

16:56.800 --> 16:58.319
Master, I don't know what poison it is,

16:58.400 --> 16:59.599
but my spiritual veins are broken.

17:05.000 --> 17:07.520
Listen. The poison in you is called

17:08.599 --> 17:09.720
Heavenly Grief.

17:10.520 --> 17:13.079
For those with spiritual veins,
it destroys them.

17:13.159 --> 17:15.440
For those without, it grants them.

17:16.240 --> 17:18.440
From now on,
don't use your spiritual veins again,

17:18.520 --> 17:20.240
or the poison will only spread faster.

17:20.319 --> 17:22.440
This mark is called the Grief Blossom.

17:22.520 --> 17:24.000
When all seven petals fall,

17:24.079 --> 17:25.879
your primordial spirit will be burned out.

17:28.079 --> 17:30.360
So, within a year,

17:30.440 --> 17:31.800
you must find the antidote,
Golden Millet Dream,

17:31.879 --> 17:34.200
and take it to restore
your spiritual veins,

17:34.280 --> 17:35.760
or you will die.

17:37.520 --> 17:39.480
Since the poison came from Ji Bozai,

17:39.560 --> 17:41.560
he may hold the Golden Millet Dream.

17:42.440 --> 17:43.919
Go to Jixing Abyss and find him.

17:44.000 --> 17:46.560
Once I get rid of the pursuers,
I will come to you.

17:55.520 --> 17:58.440
He refuses food and drink from others
because he fears they might be poisoned.

17:58.520 --> 18:01.000
Truly, an evil man
sees evil in all things.

18:01.080 --> 18:02.800
Lord Hanfeng has arrived!

18:04.639 --> 18:06.080
No need for formalities.

18:06.159 --> 18:08.360
I cannot stand them.

18:08.440 --> 18:09.760
Hands down, all of you.

18:09.840 --> 18:11.399
From now on, act like Bozai.

18:11.480 --> 18:13.360
Wherever you see me,

18:13.440 --> 18:15.080
greet me as you would an old friend.

18:15.159 --> 18:16.480
Wouldn't that be nice?

18:17.240 --> 18:18.639
Lord Hanfeng, was that a dig at me?

18:18.720 --> 18:20.320
I wouldn't dare disrespect you.

18:21.040 --> 18:22.240
When I was still a prisoner,

18:22.840 --> 18:24.960
I had to kneel even to a noble's pet.

18:25.040 --> 18:26.440
Though I am better off now,

18:26.520 --> 18:28.040
I ask only for a life
where I need not bow.

18:30.320 --> 18:32.679
I've always liked this side of you.

18:32.760 --> 18:34.280
Today is a fine day, Bozai.

18:34.360 --> 18:36.120
You've been named the Qingyun Warrior.

18:36.200 --> 18:38.320
I've brought a small gift
to express my congratulations.

18:40.040 --> 18:42.560
Your Wugui Sea is far too desolate.

18:43.120 --> 18:45.320
Even the one servant
you have is already old.

18:45.399 --> 18:46.240
That's hardly acceptable.

18:47.200 --> 18:50.159
My niece Tianji is the one to blame.

18:50.760 --> 18:53.200
Though she is in charge
of Jixing Abyss's Shouhua Academy,

18:53.280 --> 18:54.800
she has yet to live up to her station.

18:54.879 --> 18:56.720
She didn't even think
to assign you attendants.

18:57.520 --> 18:59.840
Today, I've brought you two maids.

18:59.919 --> 19:03.520
From now on, they can handle
your accounts and household tasks.

19:04.760 --> 19:06.800
Bozai, are you happy
with this gift of mine?

19:08.080 --> 19:12.800
Lord Hanfeng, must you keep
such a close eye on Wugui Sea?

19:15.679 --> 19:18.480
Just as I thought,
there are rifts within Jixing Abyss.

19:20.159 --> 19:21.560
It's not that I don't appreciate it.

19:22.159 --> 19:24.800
Tonight's feast is hosted
by Princess Tianji in my honor,

19:24.879 --> 19:28.280
yet you suddenly arrived with two maids.

19:28.360 --> 19:32.440
If I take them back,
won't that upset Princess Tianji?

19:35.280 --> 19:39.320
So, you dare not offend Princess Tianji,

19:39.399 --> 19:42.320
but you have no fear of offending me?

19:43.639 --> 19:47.919
Bozai, are you sure
you are turning down my gift?

19:49.520 --> 19:52.399
Is Immortal Ji
really turning down Lord Hanfeng's gift?

19:52.480 --> 19:53.320
He's turning it down?

19:54.040 --> 19:55.760
Won't Lord Hanfeng be offended?

19:55.840 --> 19:56.679
This is my chance.

19:58.360 --> 20:00.760
I object! Lord Ji, you just promised

20:00.840 --> 20:02.560
to take me back to Wugui Sea.

20:06.159 --> 20:09.840
Did I say that?

20:11.360 --> 20:12.639
You did.

20:17.919 --> 20:21.240
I must have made
too many promises and forgotten.

20:24.800 --> 20:27.520
Then why don't you take
all three back with you?

20:28.200 --> 20:29.760
-Wouldn't that make quite a story?
-Right.

20:29.840 --> 20:31.320
-Good idea.
-Yes, take all of them back.

20:31.399 --> 20:32.600
That's a fine idea.

20:32.679 --> 20:35.639
I will have carriages and boats prepared
to send you all back together.

20:35.720 --> 20:37.080
-Great!
-Good idea!

20:37.159 --> 20:38.200
Take them all back!

20:39.879 --> 20:40.960
Yes, take them all!

20:41.040 --> 20:41.760
-Right.
-Yes, take them all back.

20:41.840 --> 20:43.120
-No way!
-Exactly.

20:43.200 --> 20:44.120
There isn't enough room!

20:44.200 --> 20:45.639
Wugui Sea may be remote,

20:45.720 --> 20:48.919
but as Immortal Ji's reward,

20:49.000 --> 20:50.120
it is spacious and tranquil.

20:50.200 --> 20:52.919
I'm sure it can hold
more than a few people.

20:53.000 --> 20:53.879
-Yes!
-Naturally!

20:53.960 --> 20:55.080
-Exactly!
-Well said!

20:55.159 --> 20:57.280
-Immortal Ji should take them all back!
-Lord Ji…

20:57.360 --> 20:58.919
-Good.
-That's right!

20:59.520 --> 21:00.360
Hold on.

21:00.960 --> 21:04.760
Everyone, Wugui Sea is not a fish pond.

21:04.840 --> 21:07.679
Besides, my energy is limited.

21:07.760 --> 21:08.879
Here's what we'll do.

21:08.960 --> 21:11.399
Ladies, I will ask you one question,

21:11.480 --> 21:13.399
and I will take the one
who pleases me most

21:14.000 --> 21:14.879
with her answer.

21:14.960 --> 21:16.040
How about that?

21:16.120 --> 21:17.679
-Good idea!
-Great!

21:19.080 --> 21:20.280
Let's do it!

21:21.440 --> 21:23.159
Since you are to serve in my abode,

21:24.240 --> 21:27.280
tell me, what spirit beasts
are kept in Wugui Sea,

21:28.080 --> 21:29.480
and how would you tend to them?

21:29.560 --> 21:32.080
The water in Wugui Sea is stagnant.
Nothing can survive there.

21:32.159 --> 21:34.960
But if I give the right answer,
I could draw suspicion.

21:36.679 --> 21:38.960
You go first. Yes, you.

21:42.360 --> 21:43.360
Wugui Sea…

21:44.360 --> 21:46.280
Like rivers, lakes, and ponds,

21:46.360 --> 21:49.399
it has… turtles,

21:50.879 --> 21:53.320
fish, and shrimp, right?

21:58.320 --> 22:00.760
Lord Ji, my loyalty to you

22:00.840 --> 22:02.240
surpasses any spirit beast,

22:02.320 --> 22:04.080
and my devotion is deeper
than the Wugui Sea.

22:04.639 --> 22:05.919
She is certainly funny.

22:08.760 --> 22:09.840
Your turn.

22:09.919 --> 22:12.000
The water in Wugui Sea is stagnant.

22:12.080 --> 22:13.600
Nothing can survive there.

22:13.679 --> 22:16.360
There isn't a single spirit beast there.

22:16.439 --> 22:17.360
That's right.

22:17.439 --> 22:19.120
Ignorant fairy,

22:19.200 --> 22:20.840
do you really know Immortal Ji at all?

22:20.919 --> 22:22.320
Do you even know what he likes?

22:23.480 --> 22:26.840
Lord Ji, please give me one more chance.
I'll get it right this time.

22:26.919 --> 22:28.080
She knows nothing.

22:28.159 --> 22:29.919
Even if he gave her another chance,
it would be wasted.

22:31.200 --> 22:32.080
Lord Ji…

22:34.240 --> 22:35.439
She's asking for a second chance?

22:36.080 --> 22:38.159
This fairy keeps pestering Immortal Ji.

22:38.240 --> 22:39.320
Could it be…?

22:39.399 --> 22:41.040
Immortal Ji would never choose her.

22:41.120 --> 22:42.879
Those two know Immortal Ji so well.

22:42.960 --> 22:44.200
Surely he'll pick either of them.

22:44.280 --> 22:46.360
Lord Hanfeng's choices are never wrong.

22:48.960 --> 22:49.879
I choose…

22:54.879 --> 22:55.840
her.

22:57.800 --> 22:58.879
What?

22:59.840 --> 23:00.679
-Her?
-I envy her.

23:00.760 --> 23:02.360
-Me too.
-I was once a prisoner,

23:03.040 --> 23:06.600
so I know all things
in this world are meaningless,

23:07.159 --> 23:09.480
and only true devotion
deserves to be valued.

23:09.560 --> 23:10.600
This lady…

23:12.960 --> 23:13.960
-Your name?
-Ming Yi.

23:14.040 --> 23:14.919
Ming Yi.

23:15.600 --> 23:18.240
Fairy Ming Yi is so devoted to me,

23:18.320 --> 23:20.000
laying bare her heart to me.

23:20.080 --> 23:21.360
How could I let her down?

23:22.879 --> 23:25.679
Rest assured. I will never fail you.

23:29.120 --> 23:30.439
As for you two,

23:30.520 --> 23:32.960
it seems
we are just fated to be strangers.

23:44.000 --> 23:45.240
He is tough to handle.

23:45.320 --> 23:47.240
Still, I'm one step closer to my goal.

23:47.919 --> 23:50.720
WUGUI SEA, JIXING ABYSS

24:01.600 --> 24:04.200
GRANNY XUN, STEWARD OF WUGUI SEA

24:08.000 --> 24:09.639
Your Lordship, you're back.

24:18.399 --> 24:19.240
Lord Ji,

24:20.040 --> 24:23.560
why did you cover my eyes

24:23.639 --> 24:25.200
the moment we arrived?

24:39.159 --> 24:40.080
Because I like it.

24:47.000 --> 24:48.080
Lord Hanfeng,

24:48.159 --> 24:50.280
Ji Bozai carried that fairy
into the chamber.

24:54.800 --> 24:57.520
SHEDDING THE OLD AND EMBRACING THE NEW

25:11.919 --> 25:13.159
Lord Ji,

25:13.240 --> 25:16.080
it must be nearly dawn.

25:16.159 --> 25:18.000
Why not take this blindfold off me?

25:22.320 --> 25:23.240
Lord Ji…

25:28.040 --> 25:30.280
Tonight, you went to great lengths,

25:31.439 --> 25:33.360
putting on a show,

25:34.120 --> 25:35.679
just so you could follow me
back to Wugui Sea, right?

25:37.280 --> 25:38.280
You got what you wanted.

25:40.159 --> 25:42.760
You saw right through me, Lord Ji.

25:43.360 --> 25:46.919
Well done, keeping the acts
coming one after another.

25:47.919 --> 25:50.480
I dismissed two fairies,
and then you showed up.

25:57.919 --> 26:01.240
And your little scene with Sun Liao?
Truly well-coordinated.

26:04.560 --> 26:06.080
That's unfair, Lord Ji.

26:06.159 --> 26:07.879
Questioning my devotion to you

26:07.960 --> 26:10.120
by bringing up Sun Liao
is just humiliating!

26:13.320 --> 26:14.480
That's true.

26:15.399 --> 26:17.199
Could you remove the blindfold for me?

26:17.280 --> 26:18.800
I don't like this.
It feels like an interrogation.

26:19.399 --> 26:20.280
Answer my question first.

26:27.760 --> 26:28.760
Lord Ji,

26:29.439 --> 26:32.720
do you enjoy questioning women like this?

26:32.800 --> 26:35.600
I never thought you had such a hobby.

26:40.879 --> 26:41.840
Thank you, Lord…

26:44.960 --> 26:46.000
Lord Ji?

26:54.199 --> 26:55.439
Lord Ji,

26:55.520 --> 26:57.399
is it really so strange that I want

26:57.480 --> 26:58.800
to follow you back to Wugui Sea?

26:58.879 --> 27:01.439
Once a Sunken Abyss prisoner,
you rose to fame in one battle.

27:01.520 --> 27:03.280
You are a living legend in Jixing Abyss,

27:03.360 --> 27:05.960
the man we fairies
of Moonlit Blossoms admire most!

27:06.960 --> 27:08.639
I've given you all my heart,

27:08.720 --> 27:11.679
yet you are so cold to me.

27:11.760 --> 27:13.480
I am heartbroken.

27:14.000 --> 27:14.919
Don't treat me this way again.

27:19.120 --> 27:19.960
Your name

27:21.480 --> 27:22.439
is Ming Yi?

27:23.800 --> 27:27.159
"Ming", as in "bright",
like the moon in your heart,

27:28.520 --> 27:32.320
and "Yi", as in "feelings",
like the deep ones I hold for you.

27:33.000 --> 27:35.000
Before you worked at Moonlit Blossoms,

27:36.360 --> 27:38.000
what did you do?

27:38.080 --> 27:39.960
He's still interrogating me.

27:40.040 --> 27:41.560
The more I say, the more risk I take.

27:41.639 --> 27:43.520
I need to silence him somehow.

27:44.399 --> 27:47.439
My family once lived by gathering herbs.

27:48.679 --> 27:50.439
After my parents died,

27:50.520 --> 27:51.960
I came to Moonlit Blossoms.

27:53.080 --> 27:55.120
-So you…
-Why so many questions?

27:55.199 --> 27:56.080
Do you not trust me?

27:56.879 --> 27:58.280
No, you simply don't like me.

27:58.360 --> 28:00.800
If you dislike me,
why did you bring me back here?

28:29.040 --> 28:30.159
Are you all right?

28:48.399 --> 28:49.959
I don't like women who come on too strong.

28:59.679 --> 29:01.800
Seriously? How desperate is he?

29:10.159 --> 29:11.199
Fine then.

29:31.600 --> 29:33.280
What's Twenty-Seven doing?

29:33.360 --> 29:34.639
Why hasn't he acted yet?

30:26.959 --> 30:28.679
There's a fire outside. I'll go check.

30:41.280 --> 30:44.439
Lord… Lord Ji, what happened?

30:50.120 --> 30:51.879
Your Lordship,
the pavilion at the back is on fire.

30:51.959 --> 30:53.199
Please come and see.

30:53.760 --> 30:55.360
Let's go and check.

30:56.560 --> 30:59.080
I can't let you come along.

30:59.159 --> 31:00.760
You don't know your way around Wugui Sea.

31:00.840 --> 31:01.879
What if something happens to you?

31:04.159 --> 31:05.520
I will be fine…

31:09.320 --> 31:10.280
This barrier

31:10.879 --> 31:12.320
can only be passed through
by Granny Xun and me.

31:12.399 --> 31:13.240
No one else can enter,

31:13.320 --> 31:14.879
and you cannot leave either.

31:15.439 --> 31:16.959
This way, you are completely safe.

31:18.080 --> 31:19.280
Wait for me here.

31:24.120 --> 31:25.520
Ugh, that man.

32:03.800 --> 32:04.639
Ming Yi,

32:05.199 --> 32:06.919
with your spiritual veins broken,

32:07.000 --> 32:08.360
you are like an ordinary person now.

32:08.439 --> 32:11.159
You only have a little power
for simple spells.

32:11.240 --> 32:12.760
Don't push yourself.

32:14.760 --> 32:16.159
-I know.
-Are you all right?

32:16.240 --> 32:18.600
Didn't Master She warn you
not to use your spiritual veins?

32:18.679 --> 32:20.040
What if the Grief Blossom withers?

32:20.120 --> 32:22.520
Using this little power
won't stir my spiritual veins.

32:22.600 --> 32:23.840
This is a complex barrier.

32:23.919 --> 32:25.240
I have to break it myself.

32:26.240 --> 32:27.520
I only asked you to make some noise

32:27.600 --> 32:28.919
to keep him from staying the night.

32:29.000 --> 32:29.840
Why did you go so far?

32:30.439 --> 32:32.919
I am puzzled too.
I did exactly as you said.

32:33.000 --> 32:36.120
I cast a small spell
on that pavilion over there

32:36.199 --> 32:37.719
to create just a tiny flame.

32:37.800 --> 32:39.360
But somehow, it grew into a blaze.

32:39.439 --> 32:41.120
I don't understand how.

32:41.199 --> 32:43.080
Never mind. Get down
to business while he's out.

32:43.159 --> 32:44.000
Where is the thing?

33:02.600 --> 33:04.439
Trouble arose right after Ming Yi arrived.

33:05.040 --> 33:06.320
Rest assured, Your Lordship.

33:06.399 --> 33:09.080
-I will find the cause of the fire.
-No need.

33:09.719 --> 33:10.800
It is only a natural fire.

33:11.360 --> 33:12.240
No need to alarm an outsider.

33:17.159 --> 33:19.399
I don't like women who come on too strong.

33:20.919 --> 33:22.679
I need to stall a bit longer.

33:32.360 --> 33:34.320
Why are there so few layers to this robe?

33:38.840 --> 33:40.679
Why hasn't Buxiu started the fire?

33:42.919 --> 33:44.199
I will put the fire out myself.

33:45.639 --> 33:49.679
WUGUI SEA, JIXING ABYSS

33:51.959 --> 33:53.560
In these two months in Jixing Abyss,

33:53.639 --> 33:56.760
we've learned
that Ji Bozai's spiritual veins

33:56.840 --> 33:58.719
were formed through Heavenly Grief.

33:59.360 --> 34:00.719
Since he used it,

34:00.800 --> 34:02.840
without the Golden Millet Dream,

34:02.919 --> 34:04.320
he would have died already.

34:05.560 --> 34:07.480
The fact that he's still alive

34:07.560 --> 34:09.199
means he must have the antidote.

34:23.159 --> 34:24.319
It's not here.

34:35.560 --> 34:37.639
And it's not here. Where could it be?

34:44.560 --> 34:46.759
The Heavenly Grief and Golden Millet Dream
respond intensely to one another.

34:46.839 --> 34:48.279
Using this locator
forged with your poisoned blood,

34:48.360 --> 34:50.199
we should be able to find it.

34:50.279 --> 34:52.560
-I'll check over there.
-Your Lordship, mind the steps.

34:54.759 --> 34:57.120
They are coming back! Hide quickly…

35:00.120 --> 35:01.400
You ran off on your own?

35:03.720 --> 35:05.120
We have been gone so long.

35:05.200 --> 35:08.160
I wonder if that little fairy
waited as she was told.

35:10.880 --> 35:11.720
SHEDDING THE OLD AND EMBRACING THE NEW

35:25.200 --> 35:26.080
The Confinement Barrier is broken!

35:45.960 --> 35:47.080
Your Lordship, she's not inside.

35:52.720 --> 35:54.240
SHEDDING THE OLD AND EMBRACING THE NEW
she was told.
