ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S LOVE IN THE CLOUDS
I wouldn't have taken in a jinx like you
if you hadn't insisted on joining Moonlit Blossoms.
You're a jinx!
You made Immortal He drunk two days ago,
and he passed out for three days.
Yesterday, you gave Immortal Zhang a massage
and gave him a fracture!
Today,
I asked you to praise Immortal Li,
and you said he had the biggest head in the Six Realms!
You're quite something!
I have a headache now because of you!
Tell me.
Can you do a better job?
I can.
Leave if you can't!
Your Lordship, she's not inside.
SHEDDING THE OLD AND EMBRACING THE NEW
-Wait for me here. -Yes.
You're back, My Lord. Are you hungry?
I made scallion pancakes.
It's nice.
The owner of Moonlit Blossoms, Fuyue, told me
I must be hardworking and virtuous
to capture the heart of a man.
So, I figured
I would find a kitchen to make you breakfast.
Scallion pancakes?
Were you making this?
Scallion pancakes are my favorite food in this world.
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
Why didn't you come to find me?
You are worried about my safety
and don't allow me to leave.
So, I must do something for you, at least.
My Lord, do you…
miss me?
Of course, I miss you.
What are you doing, My Lord?
You just woke up.
I feel like
doing some stretching.
My Lord, are you trying to…
It's not right.
You seem like…
Did you bite me?
It's not an auspicious day.
Doing this will affect your cultivation.
You have the spiritual root, so you must take care of your body.
You said your feelings for me were sincere,
but you are actually a spoilsport.
In that case,
you may return.
Boring fairies like you are not welcome here.
-My Lord. -Granny Xun.
My Lord.
-My Lordship. -Send her back to Moonlit Blossoms.
-Yes. -My Lord, I was wrong.
Please don't send me back to Moonlit Blossoms.
If I go back,
the owner of Moonlit Blossoms will think I'm useless
and torture me to death.
My lunch…
That's none of my business.
My Lord.
My Lord. I was born in a poor family.
My parents have passed away.
I spent my days in Moonlit Blossoms suffering.
I only beg you to give me a place to stay.
I'm begging you.
Are you done?
Your story is also ordinary.
That makes you even more boring.
My Lord! My Lord!
You are saving a life by letting me stay here!
-Why do you have so many things to say? -I'll do anything and everything
to repay you.
You must believe me, My Lord!
-Just leave. -I'm useful to you, My Lord.
My Lord, I'm willing to do everything you tell me!
My Lord, let me stay!
Granny Xun.
Lord Ji misunderstood.
I… I wanted to do it,
but I wasn't ready.
Is Lord Ji that impatient and wants to send me back?
Is he that heartless? If he sends me back to Moonlit Blossoms,
I'll be in trouble, Granny Xun!
I beg you, Granny Xun. Please persuade him.
If he's sick of me, I can stay as a servant.
-I'll be your servant, Granny Xun. -Can you be quiet for a while?
Fine.
Just send me back.
With no one by Lord Ji's side,
I'm sure someone will arrange another fairy to serve him.
Granny Xun, you must screen everyone thoroughly.
I really care about Lord Ji.
You…
Twenty-Seven, I'm relying on you.
Tell Mu Qibai's men
that Ji Bozai has sent me back to Moonlit Blossoms.
JIXING ABYSS, HUANSHA MARKET
Wait for me!
-Slow down. -Hurry!
SILK SHOP
-Let's go! -Drink up.
All of you are so early. I'm late.
It's my fault.
I went to Moonlit Blossoms to see what was going on.
I'm sure you don't know this.
Immortal Ji Bozai brought a fairy back
from Moonlit Blossoms last night. Do you remember her?
-Of course. -Talk.
For some reason,
she offended this upstart of Jixing Abyss.
She was sent back this morning.
She was sent back?
Immortal Ji is already bored with her after one day.
He sent her back after one day?
Isn't he lacking in energy?
Seriously?
Ji Bozai sent her back?
Yes.
The owner of Moonlit Blossoms is asking her to wipe the floor now.
How pitiful.
Wiping every corner of the place
back and forth without stopping.
Seriously, why is the owner of Moonlit Blossoms so cruel?
-Did that really happen? -Yes.
Since the fairy has been sent back to Moonlit Blossoms,
now is a good time for us to send someone to him again.
After the Qingyun Tournament,
I tried to curry favor with Ji Bozai a few times,
but he never replied to me.
I want to see
if he has another excuse to refuse again.
If we can send someone into Wugui Sea,
the alliance
between Ji Bozai and my niece won't look as strong
to outsiders.
I understand.
My Lordship.
BUXIU, JI BOZAI'S COMPANION BEAST
Ming Yi has been sent back.
She is being punished by Fuyue now.
Regarding the destruction of the barrier…
Sending her back is good enough.
There are spies all over Wugui Sea.
She is not the only one who is suspicious.
It was a good excuse to send her away.
The most important thing right now
is to obtain the Moonshade Grass.
Zhushui Spiritual State won the Qingyun Tournament.
Mangfu Swamp lost,
and the grass can be found among their tributes.
-You may head there tomorrow. -Yes.
Buxiu,
Zhushui Spiritual State's techniques are sinister.
Remember to protect yourself.
It's fine.
I'll kill every single one of them.
-If they come in pairs, I-- -Your Lordship.
Two women are here.
They were brought here by Immortal Yan Xiao.
-Let me handle them. -Keep them alive first.
-Immortal Ji. -Immortal Ji.
I was ordered by Lord Hanfeng
to send two more fairies to your place.
You have a huge place, yet you have no servants.
That's not right.
Who told you I have no one to accompany me?
Didn't I bring one back last night?
But I heard you sent
the fairy back to Moonlit Blossoms.
Since the fairy failed to serve you well last night,
you were right to send her back.
However, these two fairies
were specifically chosen by Lord Hanfeng for you.
Ji, you are an esteemed warrior.
-You should have… -Yan, are you sure
you heard Ming Yi has returned to Moonlit Blossoms?
Yes.
I'll be honest with you.
Ming Yi had a spat with me this morning and ran away.
I wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened
and not be in a mess like a child
because of a mere fairy.
However, I actually caused such a misunderstanding.
I'm embarrassed.
However,
I feel upset because I care about her.
I'm in a hurry to find her now.
Excuse me.
MADAM MENG'S BEDCHAMBER YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN
Xin.
I made this chestnut cake for you.
Try it.
Is it delicious?
MING XIN LORD CHENGYUN OF YAOGUANG MOUNTAIN
Not bad.
Ming Xian lost the competition
and fled Yaoguang Mountain.
His Majesty will no longer tolerate the Empress.
Xin.
As your mother,
I can finally help you clear a path.
I've sent some people to search the Six Realms
with a Search Mirror.
Once they find Ming Xian's whereabouts,
they will kill him immediately.
If Ming Xian dies out there,
there will be no one to lead the others.
Then, Father will surely
elect another crown prince before the next Qingyun Tournament.
Be more thorough and work faster.
FUYUE, OWNER OF MOONLIT BLOSSOMS
Your spiritual power is so weak.
People got it done in a flash, and you've been doing it for so long.
You even had the audacity to offend Immortal Ji.
Moonlit Blossoms' reputation was almost ruined because of you.
I'm not sure why I had to be soft-hearted
and bring in someone as useless as you.
I…
Because you are soft-hearted.
You are the best.
Where is Young Master He? Has he left?
Don't mention him.
We should stop wiping the floor.
He has uneven legs and slipped a few times.
He is very unhappy.
I had to sing a few more songs for him because of that.
Don't you feel bad for me?
Of course, I do.
Why would you ask them to scrub the floor then?
That's enough. Stop scrubbing.
Twenty-Seven.
Have you caught any fish?
Let me tell you.
Ming Xian was defeated by a warrior from Jixing Abyss.
He couldn't have fled to this place, no matter what.
I think Lord Chengyun must be so anxious
that he sent both of us to find him here.
Whether we find him or not,
we should still obey our orders and come here.
However, we must ask for compensation
for our hard work.
Jixing Abyss' Moonlit Blossoms
is true to its reputation.
Come and relax over here.
That person gave me this Search Mirror.
If Ming Xian appears around here,
it will alert us.
Once it is activated,
a compass will appear on the mirror.
There's a reaction?
Is Ming Xian really hiding here?
After her!
-Stop! -Stop!
Move!
Make way.
That's…
The compass keeps spinning.
Why can't we see her?
Sorry.
That's…
-Make way. -My bad.
-She's upstairs. -Let me pass.
Where is she?
Who is it?
It's her!
Stop running!
What are they doing?
They actually found me.
Freeze!
Trying to escape? Turn around.
Why isn't Ji Bozai here yet?
If everything else fails, I'll have to do it myself.
This…
She's mine.
Why are you chasing after her?
Immortal Ji, are you going to interfere with everything
after you rose to power?
-This fairy is suspicious. -Don't be afraid.
It triggers our Search Mirror.
Please step away.
You lot from Yaoguang Mountain.
You lost in the Qingyun Tournament and have dropped to the Lower Realms.
Now, you're trying to use a silly mirror
to capture someone at Jixing Abyss?
You should leave now.
Immortal Ji.
We are only obeying orders.
This fairy was behaving strangely.
She ran as soon as she saw us.
-We have to-- -Do you not understand me?
I said
leave.
She is a fairy of Moonlit Blossoms.
It's impossible for her to be Ming Xian.
I'm sure something's wrong with Lord Chengyun's item.
We should leave immediately.
-Let's not offend Ji Bozai. -Sure.
They left.
Why are you running away?
Quick. Get changed and come back to Wugui Sea with me.
Granny Xun, you are firm.
You are rejecting Lord Hanfeng's goodwill.
However, what good will it be
if you offend Lord Hanfeng for real?
Granny Xun, you stayed here willingly
because Ji saved your life.
You should consider it for his sake.
Since you know my background so well,
I'm sure you also know
that everyone in Wugui Sea only obeys His Lordship.
All of you, please leave.
Your Lordship.
How long has it been?
You're already finding someone else to replace me?
Calm down.
Yan,
help me clear this misunderstanding.
Fairy Ming Yi,
Lord Hanfeng specifically chose these two fairies.
They will never steal your spotlight.
My Lord.
When you brought me back from Moonlit Blossoms,
didn't you promise me to treat each other sincerely,
so I can stay at Wugui Sea in peace?
I guess.
In that case,
how am I not the lady-in-command of Wugui Sea?
Let's do it your way for now.
For now?
Does it count?
Yes.
All right. You said so.
If both of you insist on staying at Wugui Sea,
I'd destroy my own primordial spirit.
You must not.
Ask them to leave then.
Meanwhile, you should also tell everyone
that I am the lady in charge here, so they can give up.
Stop sending anyone here.
Otherwise, I'll kill myself!
Yan.
See?
What should I do?
My house is a mess because of your goodwill.
I'm sure you don't want to see me become a widower.
Right?
A widower, you say?
Since you've made your message clear,
what else can I do?
Please leave.
Carry on. I'm leaving.
Why are you staring at me, My Lord?
It turns out I accidentally brought back
the lady in charge of Wugui Sea.
You're welcome.
My Lord.
Who exactly are you?
You only went back to Moonlit Blossoms for an hour
before Yan Xiao brought his men here.
What does it have to do with me?
Are you suspecting me of spreading the news?
Even Yaoguang Mountain's stupid mirror
reacted to you.
Who exactly are you?
My Lord, let go of me.
It hurts.
Are you trying to verify
if I had used the Transfiguration Spell?
Sure.
Go ahead.
Do you still think I'm not innocent?
How do I know why the stupid mirror is related to me?
You gave away the tributes from Yaoguang Mountain recently
to the other fairies.
Perhaps those were the things
that the Search Mirror reacted to.
It's too much of a coincidence.
Did you find anything by verifying my body?
No.
You searched and interrogated me.
You did so much without getting anything.
I feel sorry for you.
Not really.
When I was asking you questions just now,
your breathing was a mess.
You are the one
who's in a mess.
My Lord, if you don't believe me,
I'll leave.
Tell me.
Where do these things come from?
Spare me, My Lord.
Why are you stealing?
Because
I am broke.
My family has been living in Freezing Hot Waters.
They can only make a living by gathering herbs.
All my relatives and friends
are struggling to put food on the table.
-So, I… -You still shouldn't do this.
Yes! I am ashamed.
Please punish me severely.
No, not a severe punishment.
I'm willing to fast for three meals.
I'll do all of Granny Xun's chores.
If you need me, I can still…
If you need anything, just tell me.
I told Yan Xiao
that you are the lady of Wugui Sea.
If you need anything in the future,
just ask.
Also,
this room is yours from now on.
This room…
That's…
Thank you, My Lord!
I…
Ji Bozai is very cautious.
We must be well-prepared.
Where's the thing I asked you to prepare?
If I pretend to be greedy,
I can get rid of his suspicion instead.
As long as I can get the antidote,
I don't mind letting you get your way for a few days.
My Lordship.
I've told you many times
-not to bow when you meet me in private. -Yes.
Before you head to Zhushui Spiritual State,
-go to Freezing Hot Waters. -Why?
Ming Yi was born there.
Check her background thoroughly.
Your Lordship, are you going to let her stay?
I'm letting her stay temporarily.
She used me to acknowledge her position
in front of Yan Xiao.
I couldn't send her away so soon.
People outside are also trying to plant their men here.
If there's nothing wrong with her,
I can just use her as cover to stop them.
You are too cautious, Your Lordship.
Actually, killing her is easier.
If she's indeed a child born in a herb-gathering family
from Freezing Hot Waters,
she is still useful
to my plan.
Did Lord Hanfeng summon you as well?
No. I'm just here to play.
Here you go.
Thank you.
It's nice.
Forgive me.
Ji Bozai brought back the fairy from Moonlit Blossoms
and used her as a shield to refuse any newcomers.
If the easy way doesn't work,
let's do it the hard way.
Hard ones are bad.
They hurt the teeth.
Lord Hanfeng, do you want me to frame her?
But we have nothing to hold over her.
This pot is hard to hold, even with a handle.
I should go and feel out
what kind of place the Wugui Sea is.
You are right, Lord Hanfeng.
Outsiders can't see or hear us now.
You are quite something.
After what you did,
you successfully reassured Ji Bozai
and even convinced him to let you stay.
Jixing Abyss' current situation
is the emperor has fallen sick,
and he is often in a deep slumber.
He only has one daughter
who can't inherit the throne.
His younger brother, Mu Qibai, Lord Hanfeng,
will most probably be the next emperor.
However, no one expected
Princess Tianji
to find Ji Bozai, who was in the Sunken Abyss,
and helped Jixing Abyss rise to the Upper Realms.
I was right indeed.
After the end of Qingyun Tournament,
Princess Tianji
was also willing to marry Ji Bozai in a marriage alliance.
Lord Hanfeng won't be pleased to see things turning out that way.
So,
he is trying to win over Ji Bozai on the surface,
but in truth,
he is wary of Ji Bozai's marriage alliance with Princess Tianji.
So, Ji Bozai needs a shield,
just like how I need a scratching board.
So, Wugui Sea is not a place
where Ji Bozai can hide the Golden Millet Dream without worries.
Have you searched his body?
Me?
Why?
Think about it.
He might be carrying the most precious thing on him.
It won't be so obvious.
You are the one
who's in a mess.
Don't tell me that it's really on him?
Can you search his body though?
I might not be able to do that,
but I can achieve the same effect.
You are sullying my ears.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know that I'm still young?
Turn it back.
I'll give you a dried fish later.
SHENG JI ZONG LU COLLECTION OF HOLY BENEVOLENCE
Look at you. You're collecting junk.
SHENG JI ZONG LU COLLECTION OF HOLY BENEVOLENCE
Found it.
Why are you bringing leisure books for your escape?
I spent a lot of effort to find them
after I found out he had been treating Moonlit Blossoms
as his home.
I, your master, learn things quickly.
Things like these are…
What…
What are these?
DUAL CULTIVATION MANUAL
It sullies my eyes!
I see Moonlit Blossoms as my second home.
I did
make many promises here
and left many memories.
I thank all of you for your love
because I can leave the mundane world behind
and attain ultimate joy.
Here's a humble gift.
I hope everything goes well for all of you in the future.
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS
-It's mine! -Go get it.
You will soon get
what I promised you.
You won't renege on what you promised earlier, right?
Don't worry, Immortal Ji.
You saved my life.
I will surely repay you.
I won't go back on my promise.
You owe me nothing.
The person must be killed regardless of your existence.
He might be my father,
but he treated me and my mother cruelly.
RUO SHUI, A SERVANT OF MOONLIT BLOSSOMS
I won't forgive him.
I will do according to your plan
and definitely
make him pay the price.
Of course.
Those who committed crimes
should not end well.
DUAL CULTIVATION MANUAL
I'm well-versed in the Dual Cultivation Manual.
I am not the person I was yesterday.
Tonight, I will find out everything about Ji Bozai
and bring back the Golden Millet Dream on him.
Just wait.
Help me get an outfit.
What kind of outfit?
It sullies my ear!
Hurry!
You are using my weakness against me.
Don't you think that's too much?
-Not at all. -Who is the most obedient kitty?
I am.
SHEDDING THE OLD AND EMBRACING THE NEW
His room is so well-ventilated.
It's really cold
and doesn't contain any warmth.
This Ji Bozai is a non-issue.
DUAL CULTIVATION MANUAL
This is too ordinary.
Too dull.
All right.
You're back?
Will this work?
Your Lordship.
Lord Hanfeng has been waiting inside for a long time.
Embers?
Embers.
Without you,
I would've died in Ji Bozai's hands back then.
It fell into his Spirit Well back then.
Is he treating it as a trophy
to be viewed every day?
-Bozai. -Ji Bozai.
Outsiders seldom come to Wugui Sea.
I hope I'm not interrupting anything with my sudden visit today.
Not at all.
My place is empty,
and it must look silly to you.
Bozai,
is this where you usually live?
This is…
Lord Hanfeng, please come inside.
Bozai,
your residence…
LET THE MIND SOAR TO GREAT HEIGHTS
…is bright and well-ventilated.
Yes.
The abyss in the past was cramped and suffocating.
A place that's too dark hides a lot of filth.
Right now,
I like how spacious it is.
You are really different indeed.
However, your Wugui Sea only has an old servant.
It feels empty after all.
Why don't I arrange two more servants for you,
so you have more people here?
Lord Hanfeng, please don't do that.
I'm afraid that fairy of mine
will cause trouble again.
How did you find someone so possessive?
Granny Xun, bring the wine.
This wine
was brewed under Meng Yangqiu's guidance.
A recipe from the wine immortal's family.
Try it, quick.
It's fine wine.
I'll be honest.
I've always wanted to be friends with you.
My niece, Tianji, knew you before me.
She has a good eye for talent
and promoted you to be a warrior.
You competed and made Jixing Abyss proud.
I came to know you later,
but my admiration for you
surpasses everyone else's.
I am honored
to be appreciated by you, Lord Hanfeng.
Since you've agreed to be my friend,
can you
enlighten me on something?
I'll tell you everything I know.
There has been a rumor in Jixing Palace,
saying that your spiritual veins
were obtained through Heavenly Grief.
You used Heavenly Grief, yet you still survive.
Do you actually possess
the Golden Millet Dream? yet you still survive.
