WEBVTT

01:27.679 --> 01:30.920
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:31.560 --> 01:33.160
THRONED IN STARS

01:39.440 --> 01:42.399
As long as Your Highness doesn't ask
where I and my spiritual veins came from,

01:42.479 --> 01:44.360
I'll fight for you
in the Qingyun Tournament.

01:44.440 --> 01:46.399
However, I have a condition.

01:46.479 --> 01:48.720
If I defeat Ming Xian
of Yaoguang Mountain,

01:48.800 --> 01:51.160
I request Your Highness clear my name

01:51.759 --> 01:53.160
and make me an Immortal.

01:55.160 --> 01:59.039
And if you lose?

02:01.559 --> 02:06.000
If I fail to defeat Ming Xian
in the Qingyun Tournament,

02:06.839 --> 02:09.239
you may have me executed at once.

02:10.120 --> 02:14.000
Let my primordial spirit shatter
and my soul scatter across the Six Realms.

02:32.440 --> 02:34.799
BENEVOLENCE, KINDNESS
WISDOM AND PROPRIETY

02:42.359 --> 02:43.200
Tianji…

02:44.160 --> 02:45.160
Father,

02:46.959 --> 02:51.040
everything will get better
once I marry Ji Bozai.

03:18.359 --> 03:22.040
ZIWEI HALL

03:25.079 --> 03:26.120
Your Highness.

03:27.280 --> 03:28.679
I did not permit you to rise.

03:34.840 --> 03:37.160
Should Your Highness wish
to vent your anger on me,

03:37.239 --> 03:38.640
I shan't refuse.

03:40.239 --> 03:42.239
You've had to work hard,
serving my uncle so faithfully,

03:42.320 --> 03:44.679
just to earn a physician's title.

03:45.600 --> 03:48.239
Otherwise, where would you
be crawling for scraps now?

03:49.359 --> 03:51.280
Did I give you leave to rise?

03:58.720 --> 04:01.000
Since you became Father's physician,

04:01.839 --> 04:04.760
his periods of unconsciousness
have gotten longer.

04:05.399 --> 04:08.560
Tell me what you're plotting.

04:09.359 --> 04:11.200
Turn Father into a puppet,

04:12.880 --> 04:13.799
then kill me?

04:18.920 --> 04:20.120
Your Highness is imagining too much.

04:22.039 --> 04:25.640
His Majesty is chronically ill.
Sleep helps him heal.

04:26.560 --> 04:29.039
You always wear that false face.

04:29.120 --> 04:30.320
It's disgusting.

04:34.719 --> 04:37.960
But thanks to you,

04:38.039 --> 04:41.039
I can see Ji Bozai's worth
all the more clearly.

04:41.760 --> 04:45.400
Making him my consort
couldn't be more fitting.

04:47.080 --> 04:49.120
If Your Highness has time
to exchange arguments with me here,

04:49.200 --> 04:50.360
you might as well…

04:55.200 --> 04:58.560
Your Highness would do better
to investigate your consort candidate.

04:58.640 --> 05:00.000
What do you mean?

05:00.080 --> 05:03.000
It appears Your Highness is unaware

05:03.080 --> 05:05.840
of the new mistress of Wugui Sea.

05:08.159 --> 05:10.200
Ji Bozai's womanizing isn't something new.

05:11.120 --> 05:12.960
Is this the best you can do to provoke me?

05:13.960 --> 05:16.360
Your Highness has always had
poor judgment in character.

05:16.880 --> 05:19.840
You once fell for me and got deceived.

05:20.599 --> 05:21.800
Now you've set your sights on Ji Bozai.

05:23.680 --> 05:27.159
How sure are you
that he's truly trustworthy?

05:27.240 --> 05:30.039
Not everyone's like you,

05:30.800 --> 05:32.520
clawing your way upward at any cost.

05:33.320 --> 05:37.159
I favor Ji Bozai
and want to make him my consort,

05:37.760 --> 05:40.479
but he insists on standing
on his own strength.

05:40.560 --> 05:42.520
On that point alone,

05:43.159 --> 05:45.960
your character's far beneath his.

05:48.240 --> 05:52.560
Or perhaps he's simply decided
that marrying a fallen princess

05:53.080 --> 05:54.159
isn't worth much after all?

05:57.039 --> 05:58.680
I'm grateful you won honor
for the Jixing Abyss,

05:58.760 --> 06:00.680
elevating it to the Upper Realms,

06:00.760 --> 06:03.680
and helped secure my seat
as Venerable of Shouhua Academy.

06:03.760 --> 06:07.880
But for you and me,
that's far from enough.

06:08.479 --> 06:12.760
Should we marry, one day,

06:12.840 --> 06:16.400
you might even rule the Jixing Abyss.

06:17.840 --> 06:22.200
Your Highness,
I'm wagering my life on this deal.

06:22.280 --> 06:24.320
If I lose, my primordial spirit
will cease to burn.

06:24.840 --> 06:27.680
You can't be so greedy
as to demand my freedom too.

06:27.760 --> 06:29.719
I don't want your freedom.

06:29.799 --> 06:31.200
I'm offering you power.

06:36.080 --> 06:38.760
Freedom, I've already got.

06:39.440 --> 06:42.840
Power, you don't yet have.

06:43.799 --> 06:45.680
Why talk as if it were otherwise?

06:45.760 --> 06:47.440
Immortal Ji, you…

06:48.320 --> 06:49.159
Ji Bozai!

06:51.760 --> 06:52.640
Are you angry?

06:53.479 --> 06:54.680
I'm angry on your behalf.

06:55.440 --> 06:57.719
And your marriage to him
is still hanging in the balance.

06:57.799 --> 07:00.280
How do you know he won't side with us?

07:00.359 --> 07:01.919
If he does, you will lose

07:02.000 --> 07:05.680
what little hold you still have

07:06.880 --> 07:08.520
over Shouhua Academy too.

07:15.120 --> 07:16.440
Fairy Ming Yi.

07:29.280 --> 07:31.120
The Venerable of Shouhua Academy
has summoned you.

07:31.200 --> 07:33.919
Who… Who are you? How'd you get in here?

07:34.919 --> 07:36.159
Granny Xun!

07:36.760 --> 07:38.440
I've got something to do.
I must get going.

07:42.680 --> 07:43.520
What…

07:46.320 --> 07:48.200
What is the meaning of this?

07:48.280 --> 07:50.359
Weren't you taking me
to the Venerable? Where is she?

07:51.479 --> 07:52.599
You're looking at her.

07:54.880 --> 07:58.479
The Venerable of Shouhua Academy.
Princess Tianji…

08:00.039 --> 08:01.159
Kneel.

08:02.679 --> 08:04.640
Well, I can't exactly kneel right now.

08:06.200 --> 08:09.799
Your Highness,
why did you have me brought here?

08:19.359 --> 08:20.919
Ming Yi, yes?

08:21.799 --> 08:22.919
Yes.

08:24.960 --> 08:27.719
I order you to leave Ji Bozai.

08:29.039 --> 08:31.960
If you walk away from him,
all these treasures will be yours.

08:35.039 --> 08:38.199
I'll even give you
1,000 taels of Blessed Rain.

08:38.280 --> 08:39.679
What do you say?

08:40.640 --> 08:41.520
Well…

08:41.600 --> 08:44.360
What reason do you have
to hesitate? Think carefully.

08:44.439 --> 08:47.439
Leave the Jixing Abyss
and you'll get all this at once.

08:48.600 --> 08:51.560
Ji Bozai's tangled web of romantic debts…

08:52.959 --> 08:56.240
Or maybe there's
something else you desire?

08:56.319 --> 08:57.920
I'll arrange it all for you.

08:58.640 --> 08:59.480
I want

09:00.720 --> 09:03.680
the Golden Millet Dream,
but you can't give me that.

09:07.160 --> 09:10.040
If you insist on staying with Ji Bozai,

09:12.360 --> 09:15.520
then you'll die here today.

09:26.439 --> 09:29.000
I'm not one for bloodshed,

09:29.520 --> 09:31.920
but Ji Bozai treats you far too specially.

09:32.000 --> 09:35.280
I can't let you live.

09:38.040 --> 09:39.199
Your Highness, there's no need for this.

09:39.280 --> 09:41.120
I'm sure we can come to an agreement
on the terms for me to leave Ji Bozai.

09:45.959 --> 09:48.800
That's what you expect me to say, right?

09:50.720 --> 09:56.199
It's true that a man's worth
pales in comparison

09:56.280 --> 09:59.760
to this sea of riches or even my own life.

10:00.560 --> 10:04.480
But ever since Ji Bozai rescued me

10:04.560 --> 10:06.439
from that hellish Moonlit Blossoms,

10:06.520 --> 10:08.600
I've fallen hopelessly in love with him.

10:08.680 --> 10:13.120
I'm deeply in love with him.
I'd die for him.

10:15.120 --> 10:16.720
Then so be it.

10:16.800 --> 10:18.199
You can die for all I care!

10:18.280 --> 10:20.920
That'll save me some trouble too. Xiuyun.

10:23.040 --> 10:23.959
Do it.

10:27.680 --> 10:29.520
First time, huh? Don't tremble.

10:30.480 --> 10:31.360
Go ahead.

10:33.600 --> 10:37.280
Brat, I saw you! Save me!

10:53.560 --> 10:54.719
Ji Bozai!

10:58.400 --> 10:59.880
Your Highness, why scare her?

11:03.480 --> 11:04.560
Lord Ji…

11:12.040 --> 11:13.040
Fear not.

11:15.079 --> 11:16.319
Princess Tianji.

11:16.839 --> 11:19.600
Even you shouldn't
make things difficult for my woman.

11:21.640 --> 11:24.160
I ask Your Highness not to tear us apart.

11:31.719 --> 11:34.800
So, you've decided to stand by her?

11:35.920 --> 11:36.959
Princess Tianji.

11:37.839 --> 11:41.160
What lies between us
is only a fair deal, nothing more.

11:41.240 --> 11:42.640
I've already made that clear.

11:43.760 --> 11:48.120
But if my father insists
on granting you and me in marriage,

11:48.760 --> 11:50.079
will you defy the decree?

11:55.600 --> 11:57.199
His Majesty's been
in a deep sleep for years.

11:57.800 --> 11:59.959
Lord Hanfeng's influence is at its peak.

12:00.040 --> 12:04.520
These days, the entire Jixing Palace
likely regards him as their true ruler.

12:05.280 --> 12:08.439
I may be no more
than a newcomer, but I've risen fast.

12:08.520 --> 12:12.040
A fallen princess and a rising power.

12:12.120 --> 12:16.520
Do you think Lord Hanfeng will let you
get your hands on that decree?

12:16.600 --> 12:21.439
Ji Bozai, don't forget it was me
who freed you from the prisoner's brand.

12:27.800 --> 12:30.680
Yes, you did me a great kindness.

12:31.480 --> 12:33.920
But I won't repay it with marriage.

12:34.599 --> 12:39.120
For you, a warrior
who can win the Qingyun Tournament

12:39.199 --> 12:42.439
means far more
than any consort, doesn't it?

12:52.560 --> 12:53.520
Of course.

12:54.959 --> 12:57.079
I ask that you lend me your strength.

13:06.040 --> 13:07.040
I'll be taking her with me.

13:11.079 --> 13:12.680
And remember this, Your Highness.

13:15.560 --> 13:18.280
If anyone dares to harm my Ming Yi again,

13:18.360 --> 13:19.920
even if it's the Emperor himself,

13:21.079 --> 13:22.319
I'll kill whoever does.

13:28.400 --> 13:31.079
Your Highness!
How could he speak to you like that!

13:33.439 --> 13:36.439
It doesn't matter
how he treats me or what he feels.

13:37.199 --> 13:40.480
What matters is that for now,
he hasn't joined my uncle's faction.

13:40.560 --> 13:41.480
That's enough for me.

13:44.680 --> 13:45.760
Immortal.

13:45.839 --> 13:47.959
All the ladies on duty today are here.

13:48.640 --> 13:49.920
Who would you like to perform for you?

14:06.560 --> 14:10.079
Which of you is Ji Bozai's favored?

14:10.160 --> 14:12.240
Is he looking
for Immortal Ji's favored lady?

14:12.319 --> 14:15.079
-That's me.
-It's me.

14:15.680 --> 14:17.160
-No, I am the one.
-You're not. I am.

14:17.240 --> 14:18.520
You're wrong. It's me.

14:18.599 --> 14:20.439
-I am.
-No, I am.

14:20.520 --> 14:21.439
I am the real one.

14:21.520 --> 14:22.959
No, I am.

14:36.680 --> 14:40.880
They say once, two immortals
chased a fairy through Moonlit Blossoms.

14:40.959 --> 14:45.479
Ji Bozai stepped in
and claimed she was his.

14:46.839 --> 14:47.680
-Who?
-I don't know who that is.

14:47.760 --> 14:50.240
If any of you can identify that fairy,

14:50.839 --> 14:53.760
these treasures are yours.

14:59.560 --> 15:01.199
I really can't be sure.

15:01.839 --> 15:05.040
Every fairy here admires Immortal Ji.

15:05.120 --> 15:08.000
He has made far too many companions.

15:08.079 --> 15:09.479
You must have already asked

15:09.560 --> 15:12.199
the owner of Moonlit Blossoms
when you arrived.

15:12.280 --> 15:13.560
If she doesn't know,

15:14.560 --> 15:16.719
how could we?

15:17.719 --> 15:19.719
-That's right.
-How would we know?

15:19.800 --> 15:21.360
-We have no idea.
-We don't know.

15:21.439 --> 15:22.520
-I have no idea.
-Me too.

15:22.599 --> 15:23.760
No idea indeed.

15:23.839 --> 15:25.000
Sir?

15:30.560 --> 15:32.079
-When did he leave?
-Where did he go?

15:32.160 --> 15:33.319
-Where is he?
-He's gone.

15:33.400 --> 15:35.400
-In the blink of an eye.
-How?

15:38.599 --> 15:39.479
DUAL CULTIVATION MANUAL

15:39.560 --> 15:42.000
Seriously?
Is this the sort of stuff you read?

15:44.160 --> 15:46.040
Well, if I want to deal
with that philanderer,

15:46.120 --> 15:47.880
I need the right medicine.

15:47.959 --> 15:49.680
Then, why don't you just slip him a drug?

15:50.719 --> 15:53.719
I'd love to, but he's too cautious.

15:53.800 --> 15:55.120
He never eats food from others.

15:56.000 --> 15:57.560
All right. Enough teasing.

15:57.640 --> 15:59.000
How have you been?

15:59.079 --> 16:00.439
How's that waist injury of yours?

16:00.520 --> 16:01.439
How's the medicine I gave you?

16:12.120 --> 16:14.280
What do you think? Impressive, right?

16:15.400 --> 16:18.439
As expected of you, Zhang Tai.

16:22.000 --> 16:24.199
What's wrong?
Why aren't you getting back up?

16:25.760 --> 16:27.319
Help…

16:27.400 --> 16:29.560
I'm stuck…

16:29.640 --> 16:31.199
Are you serious?

16:33.319 --> 16:34.959
Ow…

16:35.040 --> 16:37.640
Bear with it. You've only yourself
to blame for showing off.

16:37.719 --> 16:39.520
Well, I thought I was all better…

16:42.560 --> 16:44.359
There's something you should know.

16:45.240 --> 16:47.199
Yesterday, a guest came by.

16:47.280 --> 16:50.000
He wasn't there
for entertainment or pleasure.

16:50.079 --> 16:51.760
Rather, he inquired about the incident

16:51.839 --> 16:54.359
when you were pursued
by those two immortals.

16:54.439 --> 16:55.599
What did he look like?

16:58.560 --> 17:03.280
Tall, handsome, thin.

17:03.359 --> 17:06.200
That isn't helpful.
I didn't even see him, all right?

17:07.000 --> 17:09.839
He hid behind a screen.

17:09.919 --> 17:14.079
He obviously had ill intentions,
so I covered for you.

17:14.839 --> 17:16.079
Thanks.

17:17.240 --> 17:19.520
He was so secretive.

17:21.480 --> 17:22.680
You don't think he's a warrior, do you?

17:25.200 --> 17:26.599
He must be.

17:26.680 --> 17:28.440
A warrior who trespasses
into another realm

17:28.520 --> 17:31.440
and gets caught is as good as dead.

17:34.280 --> 17:36.200
Rub here for me again.

17:38.680 --> 17:40.280
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

17:40.360 --> 17:42.320
He didn't touch a drop of wine that day,

17:42.399 --> 17:44.919
but he did take a bite of a chestnut cake.

17:49.360 --> 17:50.840
Chestnut cake…

17:51.760 --> 17:53.639
It's that idiot.

17:54.800 --> 17:56.120
I'm heading back!

18:00.800 --> 18:01.720
They make a fine pair.

18:09.960 --> 18:12.560
You didn't have to send her off with me.

18:12.639 --> 18:14.320
Well, she's a friend
of the mistress of Wugui Sea.

18:14.399 --> 18:17.520
It was her first visit.
I can at least observe that courtesy.

18:19.000 --> 18:21.080
As expected of the man of the household.

18:30.360 --> 18:32.480
Today has been good.

18:35.879 --> 18:37.760
What makes today good?

18:42.639 --> 18:43.760
Um…

18:46.960 --> 18:49.320
The weather. The weather's good.

18:51.720 --> 18:54.480
Good? It looks like it's about to pour.

18:54.560 --> 18:56.080
I'd say thunder's on the way too.

18:57.800 --> 19:00.800
I'll play along
until the worm works its magic.

19:01.679 --> 19:04.840
Lord Ji! Whatever did you mean?

19:05.560 --> 19:09.120
JUDGMENT HALL

19:21.200 --> 19:24.120
SITU LING, CHIEF OF THE JUDGMENT HALL
OF THE JIXING ABYSS

19:25.000 --> 19:27.639
Congratulations to Immortal Situ Ling,

19:27.720 --> 19:31.399
newly appointed Chief
of the Judgment Hall of the Jixing Abyss.

19:31.480 --> 19:35.480
May you bring forth clarity
and righteous fairness.

19:35.560 --> 19:39.399
May His Majesty's blessing
and the stars eternal be with you.

19:41.679 --> 19:43.760
Situ, you're finally here.

19:44.320 --> 19:47.159
I've been acting as head
of the Judgment Hall for months,

19:47.240 --> 19:48.879
and I'm exhausted.

19:49.840 --> 19:51.919
From this point forward,
it's under your charge.

20:02.960 --> 20:04.600
This tea's bitter.

20:07.159 --> 20:11.240
I received your letter
and hurried here as fast as I could.

20:11.760 --> 20:13.360
I'm ready to share
your burdens, Lord Hanfeng.

20:26.000 --> 20:27.520
Situ, your talent is unmatched.

20:28.120 --> 20:30.639
You were first
among all the candidates in the realms.

20:32.520 --> 20:34.000
Here.

20:34.080 --> 20:37.200
With you as Chief of Judgment Hall,
you'll be a great help to me…

20:39.480 --> 20:41.800
to the Jixing Abyss.

20:50.280 --> 20:53.679
Hou Zhao's been missing
since the Qingyun Tournament.

20:53.760 --> 20:57.760
I've confirmed he was in close contact
with the warden of the Sunken Abyss.

20:57.840 --> 21:01.120
Perhaps his disappearance's
linked to the Sunken Abyss.

21:02.480 --> 21:04.600
A proper investigation is needed.

21:06.800 --> 21:09.399
Your chamber's been prepared.

21:09.919 --> 21:11.240
You should get some rest.

21:11.960 --> 21:15.679
You'll have as many men
as you require at your disposal.

21:17.679 --> 21:19.520
Now, a toast to you…

21:22.440 --> 21:25.320
Thank you, Lord Hanfeng.
I'll take my leave.

21:31.520 --> 21:32.960
That was so bitter.

21:33.040 --> 21:34.800
What tea's this bitter?

21:37.360 --> 21:38.879
Back to work for me…

21:38.960 --> 21:40.679
It's misery piled on misery…

21:43.440 --> 21:44.320
My Lord.

21:44.399 --> 21:46.919
Hou Zhao vanished
right after Ji Bozai's victory.

21:47.000 --> 21:50.200
We never once considered
the connection between the two matters.

21:51.280 --> 21:53.600
I was short-sighted.

21:53.679 --> 21:56.040
I was fixated on winning him over,

21:56.120 --> 21:58.800
getting him to hand over
the Golden Millet Dream of his own accord.

21:59.520 --> 22:02.480
I forgot that if he holds
the Golden Millet Dream,

22:02.560 --> 22:05.879
his ties to Bo Yulan must run deep.

22:05.960 --> 22:08.480
With Situ Ling's arrival
and Your Lordship's impending retirement,

22:08.560 --> 22:10.200
a banquet is in order.

22:10.280 --> 22:14.639
Why not invite
Ji Bozai tomorrow and test him?

22:16.639 --> 22:20.280
If Ji Bozai is involved with Bo Yulan,

22:22.439 --> 22:24.840
then he mustn't be kept alive.

22:44.240 --> 22:45.960
You didn't have to come tonight.

22:48.080 --> 22:51.399
How could I skip Lord Hanfeng's banquet?

22:51.480 --> 22:54.240
My point is,
since the former chief went missing,

22:54.320 --> 22:56.320
Mu Qibai's been managing
the Judgment Hall.

22:56.399 --> 22:58.960
Today's only a farewell banquet.

22:59.760 --> 23:03.159
You only share this with me
after I'm already on board.

23:03.240 --> 23:04.360
I'd have thought

23:04.439 --> 23:07.600
you were warning me
in case something happened.

23:10.040 --> 23:13.960
Who's the new Chief of the Judgment Hall?

23:14.040 --> 23:15.439
They say his name's Situ Ling.

23:16.520 --> 23:17.840
What's he like?

23:17.919 --> 23:19.120
I haven't seen him either.

23:19.679 --> 23:21.919
Heard he's just a sly fox.

23:22.000 --> 23:24.320
He was expected at tonight's farewell,

23:24.399 --> 23:28.000
but suddenly declined,
claiming he was too tired from work

23:28.080 --> 23:29.600
to drink or indulge in pleasure,

23:30.200 --> 23:31.200
so he excused himself.

23:33.120 --> 23:35.919
You should've used that excuse too.

23:36.560 --> 23:38.080
I'm not going to miss it.

23:38.159 --> 23:40.800
Things that must be faced should be faced.

23:43.639 --> 23:44.679
I get it.

23:45.200 --> 23:48.399
You're worried Lord Hanfeng
will foist someone on you.

23:48.480 --> 23:50.360
-That's why you brought me along.
-Yes.

23:51.720 --> 23:53.639
I prefer not to have
others push people onto me.

23:53.720 --> 23:54.960
I like to make my own choices.

24:11.679 --> 24:15.200
Lord Ji, the night
Lord Hanfeng came to Wugui Sea,

24:15.280 --> 24:18.800
I accidentally knocked over a box
in your room.

24:18.879 --> 24:21.520
A broken iron fan fell out.

24:21.600 --> 24:25.200
I wondered why you'd keep such a thing.

24:25.800 --> 24:29.320
Could it be some fairy left it with you?

24:31.040 --> 24:32.200
That was Ming Xian's weapon.

24:34.800 --> 24:36.960
Then, why'd you keep it?

24:37.919 --> 24:40.679
Ming Xian was defeated,
and you wanted to keep it as a prize?

24:47.200 --> 24:48.280
He really is,

24:49.720 --> 24:54.000
as the rumors claim,
an incredibly gifted warrior.

24:55.840 --> 24:59.399
At one point,
I thought he might even defeat me.

25:00.120 --> 25:01.200
But for some reason,

25:02.040 --> 25:04.520
his spiritual power
seemed to fail all at once.

25:05.200 --> 25:09.240
I could hardly draw back my own power then
and almost killed him.

25:16.320 --> 25:18.520
Luckily, his weapon saved him.

25:19.320 --> 25:20.840
I kept it.

25:21.600 --> 25:24.560
I thought I'd return it if we met

25:26.760 --> 25:27.760
on the battlefield again.

25:33.399 --> 25:35.320
What brought this up?

25:35.399 --> 25:36.760
Pretend you didn't hear what I said.

25:39.120 --> 25:41.840
He didn't sound like he was lying.

25:41.919 --> 25:45.280
Could he not be the one
who poisoned me with Heavenly Grief?

26:12.399 --> 26:16.000
If it wasn't him, then…

26:17.000 --> 26:18.280
who would've done it?

26:24.280 --> 26:25.120
We've arrived.

26:57.399 --> 27:01.120
-Here.
-This is… for you, Ji.

27:11.840 --> 27:14.600
See? Someone's watching over me now.

27:14.679 --> 27:16.120
Ming Yi won't let me drink.

27:16.199 --> 27:19.320
Ming Yi, how about
you drink this cup for me?

27:23.800 --> 27:26.600
I can't possibly
let Immortal Yan toast me.

27:26.679 --> 27:28.360
I should be the one to toast Immortal Yan.

27:37.280 --> 27:39.639
I've never seen you consume
anything while you're outside, Ji.

27:40.399 --> 27:41.600
Why's that?

27:45.480 --> 27:46.520
Nonsense.

27:46.600 --> 27:49.159
He eats like a pig
at Moonlit Blossoms every time.

27:49.240 --> 27:50.280
Look at him…

27:59.600 --> 28:01.639
Work with me here.

28:05.120 --> 28:06.960
Lord Hanfeng has arrived.

28:12.240 --> 28:14.760
Greetings, Lord Hanfeng.

28:15.360 --> 28:17.080
Spare me the formality.

28:17.159 --> 28:18.720
Haven't I said before?

28:18.800 --> 28:21.919
From now on,
you should all follow Bozai's example.

28:22.000 --> 28:24.520
Well? Put those arms down.

28:24.600 --> 28:25.560
Put them down.

28:28.959 --> 28:32.439
Today, I had a room
cleared for our new chief.

28:32.520 --> 28:33.439
Guess what we found.

28:52.159 --> 28:54.679
In Hou Zhao's old quarters,

28:54.760 --> 28:57.080
we found a portrait of a beauty.

28:58.320 --> 29:00.480
What an exquisitely painted beauty.

29:00.560 --> 29:02.679
Might she be Hou Zhao's lover?

29:05.199 --> 29:06.679
Hou Zhao's gone missing.

29:06.760 --> 29:10.199
Could he have eloped with this fairy?

29:11.480 --> 29:13.399
Everyone, take a good look.

29:13.480 --> 29:15.840
Does anyone recognize
the fairy in the painting?

29:16.439 --> 29:18.280
What magic was used
to paint this portrait?

29:18.360 --> 29:19.639
She even moves.

29:20.439 --> 29:24.879
To be captured by such a rare technique,
she must be special.

29:25.720 --> 29:27.600
Ji, you're acquainted
with fairies from every realm.

29:27.679 --> 29:29.240
Take a good look.

29:29.320 --> 29:30.399
Do you know her?

29:33.720 --> 29:35.399
Even if I used to be close
to many fairies,

29:35.480 --> 29:37.080
that's all in the past.

29:39.639 --> 29:43.240
Now, my heart holds only Ming Yi.

29:47.679 --> 29:51.040
Now that Ji's settled down,
even he's afraid of his beloved.

29:51.919 --> 29:56.040
The fairy in the portrait
looks like someone you would favor.

29:57.240 --> 29:59.800
Ji, are you sure you don't recognize her?

30:04.720 --> 30:07.879
Maybe you should take a closer look.

30:20.679 --> 30:22.199
Immortal Ji claims he doesn't know her.

30:22.280 --> 30:23.560
Let me take a look.

30:26.600 --> 30:28.879
This fairy's quite voluptuous.

30:29.480 --> 30:30.520
Let me see too.

30:31.320 --> 30:32.760
With lips like cherries,

30:32.840 --> 30:35.800
it wouldn't be a waste to have a taste.

30:39.879 --> 30:43.840
Such a divine technique that allows
the fairy in the portrait to move.

30:44.760 --> 30:46.520
If it could switch poses,

30:47.399 --> 30:48.679
wouldn't that be even better?

30:52.240 --> 30:54.520
A man's mind holds
vast valleys and flowing rivers.

30:55.040 --> 30:57.679
A beauty's smile topples cities.

30:57.760 --> 31:00.199
In moonlight, neck to neck, intertwined.

31:01.560 --> 31:04.159
Longing stirs…

31:06.000 --> 31:07.280
-Immortal Sun!
-Are you all right?

31:07.360 --> 31:08.679
If you can't handle your liquor,
don't drink so much.

31:15.560 --> 31:17.360
Who threw that cup?

31:21.280 --> 31:22.560
You did it.

31:23.280 --> 31:25.000
You did that on purpose! What's this?

31:25.080 --> 31:28.159
Now that you feel protected,
you're getting a bit too bold, huh?

31:29.480 --> 31:30.639
Get up!

31:33.040 --> 31:34.919
-You…
-What…

31:47.600 --> 31:49.120
Immortal Ji.

31:49.199 --> 31:51.320
Both you and Sun Liao
fought in the Qingyun Tournament.

31:51.399 --> 31:52.840
This is excessive.

31:59.520 --> 32:02.800
How'd it go from me eating
a piece of melon to you two fighting?

32:05.919 --> 32:06.959
Enough.

32:08.000 --> 32:10.719
Immortal Ji, are you this angry

32:10.800 --> 32:14.879
for the beauty by your side
or for the fairy in the portrait?

32:34.679 --> 32:37.120
Lord Hanfeng, it's all my fault.

32:37.199 --> 32:39.879
I knocked the cup over

32:39.959 --> 32:42.120
and embarrassed Immortal Sun Liao.

32:42.199 --> 32:43.439
Lord Ji has no fault to bear.

32:43.520 --> 32:45.520
I ruined everyone's mood.

32:45.600 --> 32:47.280
Please punish me instead.

32:47.800 --> 32:48.959
Get up.

32:52.800 --> 32:55.080
You've done nothing wrong.
There's no reason for you to kneel.

32:57.000 --> 32:58.399
Lord Hanfeng, you're mistaken.

33:00.480 --> 33:04.480
What I did just now
was to protect the one I love.

33:05.240 --> 33:08.520
Should you find your true love one day,
you'll understand.

33:11.399 --> 33:15.959
We won't be staying in this dull place
crawling with scoundrels.

33:18.240 --> 33:19.600
-Farewell.
-I…

33:44.760 --> 33:48.480
I did that on purpose.

33:51.840 --> 33:52.919
I know.

33:54.840 --> 33:57.360
Did I cause you trouble?

34:05.120 --> 34:06.280
Lord Ji…

34:10.040 --> 34:10.880
Don't move.

34:12.679 --> 34:13.839
Don't worry about them.

34:14.520 --> 34:17.360
After I take you back,
I still have business to handle.

34:17.960 --> 34:19.239
You should get some rest.

34:37.799 --> 34:39.960
He's rather good at this.

34:59.799 --> 35:01.240
Ming Yi! Stop spacing out.

35:01.319 --> 35:02.920
The worm reacted.

35:03.960 --> 35:05.799
Perfect. Ji Bozai's away too. Let's go!

35:15.400 --> 35:17.600
This is where the pavilion
in the back mountain used to be.

35:18.200 --> 35:20.920
The pavilion? The one you burned?

35:23.319 --> 35:25.600
Burned it so thoroughly,
not a trace is left.

35:27.799 --> 35:29.759
Why did it bring us here?

35:33.799 --> 35:35.160
Nothing's happening.

35:41.520 --> 35:43.040
That's enough. Let me do it.

35:49.880 --> 35:51.440
A familiar sensation…

36:04.600 --> 36:06.640
Ji Bozai hid the Spirit Well here.

36:07.279 --> 36:09.400
The Spirit Well? Impossible.

36:09.480 --> 36:12.120
His power's even stronger than I thought.

36:12.200 --> 36:13.480
He's already reached the point

36:13.560 --> 36:16.240
where he can turn
the Spirit Well into a real location.

36:17.040 --> 36:18.960
He's picked himself
one heck of a treasure vault.

36:19.759 --> 36:22.799
And I've already burned the place.

36:22.880 --> 36:24.839
Yet Ji Bozai didn't even mention it?

36:24.920 --> 36:27.960
Guess he thinks we're suspicious
and doesn't want to tip his hand early.

36:28.040 --> 36:29.319
Wait. What do you mean
he hasn't said anything?

36:29.400 --> 36:30.839
Didn't he send me away?

36:30.920 --> 36:32.640
If it wasn't for my quick thinking,

36:32.720 --> 36:36.080
who would've cleaned up this mess for you!

36:37.000 --> 36:41.120
Oh… So, this is the Spirit…

36:42.600 --> 36:44.880
This is the Spirit Well, huh?

36:45.400 --> 36:49.319
Twenty-Seven, you've learned
to change the subject.

36:51.839 --> 36:54.359
Just you wait.

36:54.440 --> 36:58.440
The worm sensed it. That means
the Golden Millet Dream's here.

36:58.520 --> 36:59.799
What to do?

37:01.560 --> 37:04.080
None but the one who shares
Ji Bozai's divine consciousness

37:04.160 --> 37:06.240
can enter his Spirit Well.

37:07.400 --> 37:09.359
But you're Ming Xian.

37:09.440 --> 37:10.960
You're literally the least likely person

37:11.040 --> 37:13.440
in the Six Realms to share
divine consciousness with Ji Bozai.

37:17.040 --> 37:18.200
Ming Xian can't do it.

37:18.279 --> 37:19.720
But right now, you're Ming Yi,

37:19.799 --> 37:22.720
the fairy Ji Bozai took
from Moonlit Blossoms.

37:23.640 --> 37:24.960
What are you getting at?

37:26.120 --> 37:27.680
Rules of the Six Realms.

37:27.759 --> 37:31.279
When you wed,
you have to form a heart imprint

37:31.359 --> 37:33.200
through the Marriage Stone.

37:33.279 --> 37:35.040
After that, you can share
divine consciousness.

37:35.960 --> 37:36.799
You…

37:39.600 --> 37:41.120
You don't say.

37:41.200 --> 37:42.920
That's a shortcut, huh?

37:43.000 --> 37:43.960
Right?

37:44.040 --> 37:45.120
Right?

37:45.200 --> 37:46.279
Sounds easy enough.

37:46.960 --> 37:50.240
No fighting, no sparring, simple as that.

37:50.319 --> 37:52.080
You just have to marry him.

37:52.160 --> 37:53.520
-Just marry him…
-Easy.

37:53.600 --> 37:56.520
-It should be a piece of cake for you…
-Hold on.

37:56.600 --> 37:59.400
What about a separation?

37:59.480 --> 38:02.080
I have to go back to Yaoguang Mountain.
Is it a hassle to get a separation?

38:02.160 --> 38:03.200
Easy.

38:03.839 --> 38:05.000
Trust me.

38:05.080 --> 38:08.600
When the time comes, you just agree
to erase each other's names.

38:09.920 --> 38:11.600
All right. Let's do that.

38:12.400 --> 38:14.880
When did you learn all this?

38:16.000 --> 38:18.720
Ji Bozai doesn't look like
someone who'd marry you.

38:20.839 --> 38:22.200
You've got a long road ahead.

38:24.440 --> 38:26.799
It was hard enough just getting him
to take me back to Wugui Sea.

38:26.880 --> 38:28.920
He wouldn't even marry a princess.

38:29.000 --> 38:30.640
How am I going to get him to marry me?

38:34.440 --> 38:38.600
Immortal Ji, are you this angry
for the beauty by your side

38:39.880 --> 38:41.880
or for the fairy in the portrait?

38:46.359 --> 38:51.880
At the banquet,
Mu Qibai took out a portrait.

38:51.960 --> 38:54.240
Ji Bozai actually seemed to care.

38:54.319 --> 38:59.120
If I help him out,
maybe his affection for me will…

39:00.240 --> 39:01.440
What are you trying to say?

39:05.240 --> 39:06.720
Story time.

39:06.799 --> 39:10.759
"Chapter 13,
Ming Yi breaking into Judgment Hall."

39:10.839 --> 39:12.799
-Come on!
-Wait!

39:13.520 --> 39:14.359
Hands off.

39:16.200 --> 39:17.319
There's an array.

39:18.400 --> 39:20.680
You think the Judgment Hall's
just a place you can stroll into?

39:21.279 --> 39:23.160
The array barrier activates at night.

39:23.240 --> 39:25.799
It'll definitely make a petal
fall off your Grief Blossom.

39:25.880 --> 39:28.920
It's not worth it for a portrait.

39:29.000 --> 39:31.200
Since Zhang Tai already brought it up,

39:31.279 --> 39:34.359
Ming Xin probably followed me
into the Jixing Abyss.

39:34.440 --> 39:37.279
My movements can't stay hidden forever.

39:37.359 --> 39:39.960
We might as well make sure
he doesn't come for nothing.

39:40.040 --> 39:41.040
Let's give him a surprise.

39:41.120 --> 39:44.120
If he's here, why aren't we running?

39:44.200 --> 39:46.520
We can't hide forever,
but at least we can hide for a while.

39:46.600 --> 39:48.000
Do you think I have that much time left?

39:49.359 --> 39:52.359
-Even so…
-"Chapter 14,

39:52.440 --> 39:54.120
Ming Yi Takes Risks for Wealth."

39:54.200 --> 39:55.040
-Come on!
-But…

39:55.120 --> 39:56.720
What do you mean
Ming Yi takes risks for wealth!

39:56.799 --> 39:58.640
You're living the wealthy part!

39:58.720 --> 39:59.920
I'm the one risking my neck!

40:00.000 --> 40:01.839
Running here, running there,
burning this, burning that…

40:01.920 --> 40:02.759
You're the one enjoying the rewards…

40:05.400 --> 40:08.000
Don't miss out!

40:09.120 --> 40:11.040
The Search Mirror makes no mistakes.

40:11.120 --> 40:13.279
Ming Xian must be in the Jixing Abyss.

40:14.080 --> 40:16.200
But I can't stay here long.

40:16.279 --> 40:19.480
If my identity's exposed,
it'll be a disaster.

40:36.799 --> 40:37.839
-Come and have a look!
-Come!

40:37.920 --> 40:39.359
Come and see!

40:39.440 --> 40:40.560
That looks nice.

40:40.640 --> 40:41.520
Indeed!

40:46.759 --> 40:47.600
Feel free to take a look.

41:07.359 --> 41:08.279
Move!

41:13.400 --> 41:14.240
-Come and see!
-Stop!

41:14.319 --> 41:16.240
-Come!
-Good evening!

41:20.319 --> 41:22.480
Your Lordship, let me go to Judgment Hall.

41:23.359 --> 41:26.279
If Mu Qibai's set a trap,
it's better I get caught

41:26.359 --> 41:28.680
than risk exposing your connection
to the Golden Millet Dream.

41:32.120 --> 41:34.480
The fact he brought out
my master's portrait already proves

41:34.560 --> 41:35.920
he's figured it out.

41:37.279 --> 41:39.480
If I can't even save one portrait,

41:39.560 --> 41:42.120
then there was no point in my clawing
my way out of the Sunken Abyss.

41:42.960 --> 41:44.960
I might as well have stayed there
forever as a prisoner.

41:45.960 --> 41:47.160
But it's my duty to protect you.

41:47.240 --> 41:49.680
Braving all dangers is what
I'm supposed to do in your stead.

41:50.279 --> 41:51.480
If something happens to me, it's nothing.

41:51.560 --> 41:53.720
But if something happens to you,
who else can hold things together?

41:53.799 --> 41:55.120
-Let me go.
-You're talking too much.

41:55.200 --> 41:56.240
This isn't like you.

41:57.680 --> 41:58.600
Stop worrying.

41:59.400 --> 42:02.200
His petty tricks won't do anything to me.

42:08.240 --> 42:11.440
JUDGMENT HALL

42:53.880 --> 42:57.480
THE SEA STANDS TALL WITH HANGING CLOUDS

43:23.600 --> 43:25.359
Lord Ji, it's me.

43:26.600 --> 43:27.680
What are you doing here?

43:28.600 --> 43:30.319
I'm here for you.

43:31.960 --> 43:33.359
Heaven has blessed me.

43:33.440 --> 43:36.600
Letting him see this chapter 13
with his own eyes will be easier

43:36.680 --> 43:37.920
than me trying to explain.

43:38.960 --> 43:42.879
That portrait at the banquet
meant a lot to you, didn't it?

43:42.960 --> 43:44.400
I could tell from one glance.

43:45.279 --> 43:47.560
You see, you took me in.

43:47.640 --> 43:50.120
I ought to do something
for you in return, right?

43:50.720 --> 43:51.920
And that's why you're here?

43:53.359 --> 43:55.160
You can't catch a tiger cub
without entering the tiger's den.

43:59.200 --> 44:00.600
And how'd you get in?

44:01.440 --> 44:03.319
The Judgment Hall's array barrier

44:03.839 --> 44:06.879
isn't something
an ordinary fairy can just stroll through.

44:08.120 --> 44:11.160
I didn't exactly stroll in,
but I did come in fair and square.

44:16.920 --> 44:17.759
Fair and square?

44:18.359 --> 44:20.080
You know me.

44:20.160 --> 44:23.000
You're the one
who took me from Moonlit Blossoms.

44:25.799 --> 44:28.480
All I had to do was… Sir…

44:30.560 --> 44:32.080
Sir, oh, sir…

44:33.319 --> 44:34.839
There's a wall in the hidden hall

44:35.879 --> 44:39.000
my father repaired ten years ago.

44:39.799 --> 44:42.600
My mother and I used to come here
to keep him company.

44:42.680 --> 44:45.160
But I was such a brat back then.

44:45.240 --> 44:48.400
I grabbed both their hands
and pressed them into the wall.

44:48.480 --> 44:51.200
Now, there's a handprint
of all three of us.

44:52.240 --> 44:54.759
Today's the anniversary of their deaths.

44:54.839 --> 44:57.400
I just wanted to come in and see them.

44:57.480 --> 44:59.279
I… I…

45:02.400 --> 45:05.240
And they opened a gap in the array for me,
and I came in.

45:20.640 --> 45:22.560
Did that boy do this?

45:25.560 --> 45:28.400
JUDGMENT HALL

45:30.279 --> 45:34.240
Kitten, once you fall into my hands…

46:19.759 --> 46:20.920
Idiot.

46:28.040 --> 46:31.920
Be sure to get out of here fast
when that idiot wakes.

46:32.000 --> 46:35.359
I'll get someone to haul him off.

46:37.080 --> 46:38.400
JUDGMENT HALL

46:46.920 --> 46:48.799
How did you even know
something was on that wall?

46:48.879 --> 46:50.879
I lied. There's nothing on that wall.

46:52.640 --> 46:53.920
And they believed you?

46:58.359 --> 47:00.400
Well, I added a little performance.

47:02.160 --> 47:05.680
I tugged at my collar just a bit.
They couldn't resist my charms…

47:06.359 --> 47:08.040
That's enough. Come on.
st a bit.
They couldn't resist my charms…
