WEBVTT

01:28.440 --> 01:30.920
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:31.000 --> 01:34.759
A FEW MONTHS AGO

01:53.640 --> 01:54.559
Ming Yi.

02:04.320 --> 02:05.160
Ming Yi.

02:10.120 --> 02:11.320
What talent.

02:11.840 --> 02:13.160
Truly one of a kind.

02:13.920 --> 02:15.840
All these years at Moonlit Blossoms,

02:15.920 --> 02:18.680
I've never seen a dance
as unique as yours.

02:20.040 --> 02:21.840
You've practiced it countless times!

02:21.920 --> 02:24.200
How can you still not remember
a few simple moves?

02:27.959 --> 02:29.600
Madam, go easy on her.

02:30.640 --> 02:31.720
It's my fault.

02:31.799 --> 02:35.160
I taught her the wrong steps last night.

02:35.239 --> 02:36.359
Zhang Tai,

02:36.440 --> 02:38.799
you've always been the best dancer here.

02:38.880 --> 02:39.720
You never make mistakes.

02:39.799 --> 02:42.359
You're saying this

02:42.440 --> 02:44.040
just to protect the newcomer, aren't you?

02:44.120 --> 02:45.799
Do you think I won't punish you

02:45.880 --> 02:47.400
because I favor you?

02:48.679 --> 02:51.120
Go. Both of you.
Pour a bucket over yourselves.

02:52.160 --> 02:54.040
I just recovered from illness last month.

02:54.120 --> 02:55.720
If I fall sick again,

02:55.799 --> 02:57.959
Immortal Xue,
Immortal Hao, and Immortal Liu

02:58.040 --> 02:59.400
won't get to see me.

02:59.480 --> 03:01.239
Don't blame me
if you lose business because of it.

03:01.320 --> 03:04.799
You're getting
far too bold for your own good.

03:04.880 --> 03:06.760
Don't push your luck.

03:10.640 --> 03:11.679
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS

03:20.840 --> 03:22.040
Madam,

03:22.560 --> 03:24.760
I'm a bad dancer
and haven't practiced enough.

03:24.840 --> 03:26.079
It's my fault.

03:26.160 --> 03:27.679
Moonlit Blossoms has always
rewarded and punished fairly.

03:27.760 --> 03:28.640
Don't break the rules because of me.

03:56.440 --> 04:00.000
-Immortal Ji.
-Immortal Ji.

04:05.480 --> 04:07.040
My apologies, fairies.

04:07.119 --> 04:09.079
-I'm here today for…
-Who?

04:09.760 --> 04:11.839
-Who?
-Who?

04:16.000 --> 04:17.039
Her?

04:23.640 --> 04:26.320
I'm here with Fairy Ming Yi
to get something done.

04:27.719 --> 04:29.200
How dull.

04:29.280 --> 04:30.880
Take this.

04:30.960 --> 04:32.400
-Eat it yourself.
-Here.

04:32.479 --> 04:34.360
I got my hopes up for nothing.

04:35.599 --> 04:37.159
Seriously?

04:37.240 --> 04:38.440
Even if there's no deal,
we can part on good terms.

04:39.039 --> 04:40.719
Not even a word to make me stay?

04:42.880 --> 04:43.919
Want some snacks?

04:49.080 --> 04:50.640
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS

04:54.280 --> 04:55.320
So pretty.

04:55.400 --> 04:56.560
How lovely.

04:57.080 --> 05:00.240
-Zhang Tai, you're so kind.
-What a big pearl.

05:00.320 --> 05:02.640
And these jade pieces are so exquisite.

05:03.560 --> 05:04.719
I'm getting married.

05:04.800 --> 05:07.800
General Xun Ming said you could pick
whatever you like from these gifts.

05:07.880 --> 05:10.840
Zhang Tai,
you're marrying General Xun Ming?

05:13.240 --> 05:14.640
Why didn't you tell me?

05:14.719 --> 05:16.560
Immortal Ji, what are you holding?

05:17.599 --> 05:18.599
Some snacks for you.

05:19.120 --> 05:20.320
Thank you, Immortal Ji.

05:21.240 --> 05:22.400
You're welcome.

05:23.000 --> 05:23.919
Now that I'm engaged,

05:24.000 --> 05:25.960
I shouldn't visit
Moonlit Blossoms anymore.

05:26.039 --> 05:27.240
But since we've been
sisters all these years,

05:28.120 --> 05:29.960
even if we won't see each other again,

05:30.039 --> 05:31.280
I want to say goodbye properly.

05:31.359 --> 05:34.280
Zhang Tai,
your General treats you so well.

05:34.359 --> 05:35.960
No wonder you fell for him.

05:36.479 --> 05:38.479
Yes. He's learned, courteous,

05:38.560 --> 05:40.880
honest, and loyal.

05:42.440 --> 05:44.400
Since when do you praise men like that?

05:44.479 --> 05:46.000
You used to say things like,

05:46.080 --> 05:47.800
"He's so handsome."

05:47.880 --> 05:50.760
-"He's so tall."
-"He's so rich."

05:50.840 --> 05:53.120
"I wish he'd do my eyebrows."

05:55.479 --> 05:57.120
Take your time choosing your gift.

05:57.200 --> 05:58.680
I must return to serve the General now.

06:00.560 --> 06:01.680
Wait.

06:10.880 --> 06:14.280
Zhang Tai, how's your wrist injury?

06:14.359 --> 06:16.280
Have you been using
the medicine I gave you?

06:16.359 --> 06:18.159
It's much better. Thank you, Ming Yi.

06:22.960 --> 06:25.120
Ming Yi, what's wrong?

06:28.240 --> 06:31.080
Her injury isn't on her wrist.
It's on her back.

06:32.039 --> 06:33.320
She is not Zhang Tai.

06:35.440 --> 06:37.280
There's a puppet mark
on the back of her neck.

06:37.919 --> 06:40.120
That wasn't the real Zhang Tai.

06:40.640 --> 06:42.680
It was a puppet made in her likeness.

06:42.760 --> 06:43.799
Then where's the real Zhang Tai?

06:43.880 --> 06:46.080
To make a puppet
move like a certain person,

06:46.719 --> 06:48.640
one has to extract
the seven senses from the person.

06:48.719 --> 06:50.520
Only then can the puppet look convincing.

06:51.120 --> 06:53.120
Once the three souls
and seven senses are extracted,

06:53.200 --> 06:54.039
the person will die

06:55.240 --> 06:56.080
within 15 days.

07:01.799 --> 07:03.359
Ming Yi, Immortal Ji,

07:03.440 --> 07:05.680
is there any way to save Zhang Tai?

07:05.760 --> 07:07.440
She was always so kind.

07:07.520 --> 07:10.039
Every time the Mistress punished me,
she took the beating for me.

07:10.120 --> 07:12.159
When Xianxian's family was in trouble,
she gave her money.

07:12.239 --> 07:14.159
The Jingwei Tribe is wiped out.

07:14.239 --> 07:16.760
Zhang Tai has no family in this world.
We must help her.

07:16.840 --> 07:18.120
Yes, please help her.

07:48.560 --> 07:49.640
A bit higher.

07:57.000 --> 07:59.520
No… I'm exhausted.

08:04.159 --> 08:05.039
Hungry?

08:05.120 --> 08:06.080
How could I not be?

08:06.159 --> 08:07.440
I haven't eaten in days.

08:08.039 --> 08:09.479
Why haven't you eaten?

08:09.560 --> 08:10.719
I ran out of money.

08:11.239 --> 08:13.599
How's that possible?
You always get the biggest tips.

08:14.120 --> 08:17.400
I just lost my appetite. That's all.

08:18.679 --> 08:20.200
You're lying, aren't you?

08:20.719 --> 08:22.840
Last time at the Huansha Market,
you bought me an eyebrow pencil.

08:22.919 --> 08:25.120
It was so expensive.
Did you spend all your money on it?

08:26.440 --> 08:28.200
You're overthinking it.

08:31.560 --> 08:33.760
You liked it, didn't you?

08:34.280 --> 08:37.039
Come on. It's no big deal. Stop pouting.

08:37.120 --> 08:39.280
You could hang an oil bottle off that lip.
Not cute at all.

08:43.799 --> 08:45.920
-Are you ticklish?
-No.

08:46.000 --> 08:47.560
Then what are you afraid of?

08:47.640 --> 08:48.560
Stop it! Stop!

08:48.640 --> 08:50.560
-I'm ticklish!
-You call this not ticklish?

08:50.640 --> 08:52.120
I am!

08:52.199 --> 08:53.160
Ow…

08:53.240 --> 08:55.720
-My back hurts… It hurts.
-Are you all right?

08:56.800 --> 08:58.560
-Does it really hurt?
-Just messing with you.

09:05.600 --> 09:07.480
-What's this?
-Scallion pancake.

09:07.560 --> 09:08.720
I don't want it.

09:08.800 --> 09:09.680
Then, what do you want?

09:10.640 --> 09:12.760
Roast duck.

09:13.360 --> 09:15.199
You're a bird. You can't eat roast duck.

09:15.280 --> 09:17.079
Dreams are free.

09:18.880 --> 09:20.000
Here, I'll share a duck leg with you.

09:23.480 --> 09:25.360
-I'm starving.
-Me too.

09:25.439 --> 09:26.839
How I wish for a proper meal.

09:52.160 --> 09:54.560
Lord Ji, I have a favor to ask.

09:56.839 --> 10:00.360
To be honest, I still feel a bit wronged

10:00.439 --> 10:02.319
about being tied up
and punished last time.

10:04.000 --> 10:06.240
Did I give you
all those jewels for nothing?

10:06.319 --> 10:07.600
Of course not.

10:07.680 --> 10:09.800
But I was hoping
for a little more in return.

10:10.880 --> 10:12.480
Say it. What do you want me to do?

10:15.640 --> 10:17.240
Lord Ji, you're clever.

10:17.319 --> 10:18.800
You must have guessed it already.

10:25.560 --> 10:26.480
If we are to save Zhang Tai,

10:27.360 --> 10:29.520
we'll be facing
the strongest fox in Jixing Abyss.

10:30.120 --> 10:31.640
I won't be able
to protect you at all times.

10:33.079 --> 10:35.480
Xun Ming could tear you apart with ease.

10:36.199 --> 10:37.240
Are you sure about this?

10:38.280 --> 10:39.400
It sounds

10:39.920 --> 10:42.199
like you're not refusing
to help me save her.

10:47.040 --> 10:47.880
Thank you, Lord Ji.

10:59.000 --> 11:00.719
It's just a friendship.

11:01.240 --> 11:02.800
Is that really worth so much to you?

11:04.760 --> 11:05.640
Yes.

11:07.760 --> 11:10.760
To me, friendship weighs more
than a thousand mountains.

11:24.640 --> 11:27.520
My wife said
that since she was married to me,

11:27.600 --> 11:29.760
she no longer wished
to meet anyone from her past.

11:30.400 --> 11:31.719
But since you requested it, Immortal Ji,

11:32.480 --> 11:33.520
I can't say no.

11:34.360 --> 11:36.959
General, I'm just too worried
about Zhang Tai.

11:37.040 --> 11:38.760
Once I see her myself, I'll stop worrying.

11:39.520 --> 11:40.439
This way, please.

11:53.439 --> 11:55.120
-Zhang Tai!
-We have guests.

11:55.199 --> 11:57.240
Zhang Tai, it's us.

11:57.319 --> 11:58.520
I'm not receiving visitors.

12:00.920 --> 12:03.000
Look up. It's me.

12:03.839 --> 12:06.800
Again, I'm not seeing anyone today,

12:06.880 --> 12:08.040
no matter who it is.

12:09.040 --> 12:11.160
-No, I have to talk to her.
-Ming Yi, what are you doing?

12:11.240 --> 12:14.240
She's ignoring me.
She must be angry with me.

12:14.839 --> 12:16.319
If she won't see you,
she must have her reasons.

12:16.400 --> 12:17.319
-Don't cause a scene.
-But…

12:17.400 --> 12:20.000
-Lord Ji…
-My wife has cut ties with her past.

12:20.640 --> 12:22.560
You insisted on seeing her,
and I allowed it.

12:22.640 --> 12:25.199
Are you still not satisfied?

12:25.280 --> 12:27.400
General, that's not what she meant.

12:27.480 --> 12:29.040
Lord Ji, please persuade
the General for me.

12:29.120 --> 12:30.439
-Enough, Ming Yi.
-I just want to talk to her. Please…

12:30.520 --> 12:31.439
Quiet.

12:34.640 --> 12:37.640
General, perhaps she's simply hungry.

12:38.719 --> 12:40.880
She hasn't eaten.
That's why she's being so difficult.

12:42.640 --> 12:44.599
Would you be kind enough
to grant us a meal?

12:44.680 --> 12:45.560
We'll leave once we finish.

12:46.280 --> 12:47.560
Right?

12:49.839 --> 12:51.079
All right.

12:55.520 --> 12:57.800
Please, enjoy. Once you're done,

12:58.360 --> 12:59.480
please see yourselves out.

12:59.560 --> 13:00.760
Thank you for your hospitality, General.

13:01.959 --> 13:02.800
Go on, Ming Yi.

13:04.120 --> 13:06.079
Ming Yi, aren't you hungry?

13:07.520 --> 13:08.520
Eat up.

13:11.199 --> 13:12.599
Try this.

13:16.680 --> 13:18.280
You won't eat a thing yourself,

13:18.360 --> 13:20.160
but you have no problem making me eat.

13:24.839 --> 13:25.839
Try this.

13:26.959 --> 13:28.880
Here. Let me feed you.

13:36.480 --> 13:37.959
How about some chicken?

13:39.800 --> 13:41.599
Easy. Stop feeding me.

13:43.560 --> 13:44.839
Do you like it?

13:49.520 --> 13:50.520
Open your mouth.

13:51.040 --> 13:52.800
Go on.

14:10.280 --> 14:11.439
Fire!

14:11.520 --> 14:13.520
Look, it's huge!

14:17.439 --> 14:19.760
General, what's going on?

14:27.520 --> 14:28.520
Spit it out.

14:31.560 --> 14:33.680
Lord Ji, that was impressive.

14:34.520 --> 14:35.680
It's just a natural fire.

14:35.760 --> 14:37.040
You should be quite familiar with it.

14:48.880 --> 14:50.640
-The illusion is in place.
-Let's go.

14:59.760 --> 15:01.319
Zhang Tai.

15:02.439 --> 15:04.959
A puppet loses awareness when separated
from its master for too long.

15:10.040 --> 15:11.839
Isn't it dangerous to cast spells
at a place so close to him?

15:11.920 --> 15:13.240
Xun Ming isn't easy to deal with.

15:13.319 --> 15:14.560
Do you have a solution in mind?

15:26.439 --> 15:27.560
This puppet

15:27.640 --> 15:30.160
retains only two of Zhang Tai's senses,
strength and vitality.

15:32.439 --> 15:35.000
Xun Ming has separated
her three souls and seven senses.

15:36.680 --> 15:38.880
Illusion Trap. A fox tribe technique.

15:40.079 --> 15:41.160
You know about that?

15:43.719 --> 15:45.760
Our mistress comes
from the Yousu Fox Tribe.

15:45.839 --> 15:46.959
I've been worried about Zhang Tai.

15:47.040 --> 15:48.319
Of course, I know
something about the tribe.

15:52.040 --> 15:54.599
Xun Ming used Zhang Tai and lured her in,

15:55.560 --> 15:57.040
trapping her within his Illusory Realm.

15:57.839 --> 15:59.439
Travel with your primordial spirit,

15:59.520 --> 16:02.439
and I can use her two senses
to let you see her.

16:02.520 --> 16:04.439
But you won't be able to bring her back.

16:04.520 --> 16:07.760
Only by finding and recreating Xun Ming's
most cherished memory

16:08.280 --> 16:09.599
can you truly enter his Illusory Realm

16:10.280 --> 16:11.520
and save Zhang Tai.

16:11.599 --> 16:14.520
I can find out what that memory is
from Zhang Tai.

16:20.680 --> 16:22.040
But let me warn you.

16:22.560 --> 16:24.319
Traveling with
your primordial spirit is dangerous.

16:24.839 --> 16:26.040
I'll set up the array here.

16:26.120 --> 16:27.120
You'll only have one incense stick's time,

16:28.400 --> 16:29.959
barely enough for a few words.

16:30.800 --> 16:31.920
If Xun Ming comes,

16:32.439 --> 16:34.560
I'll go immediately and leave you behind.

16:34.640 --> 16:36.199
I'm counting on you, Lord Ji.

16:56.040 --> 16:57.319
Be careful.

17:14.399 --> 17:17.720
Zhang Tai…

17:22.079 --> 17:22.960
Zhang Tai.

17:24.520 --> 17:26.119
That's Ming Yi's voice.

17:26.200 --> 17:28.000
Ming Yi, is that you?

17:28.079 --> 17:29.120
Zhang Tai.

17:32.360 --> 17:33.399
Ming Yi.

17:34.280 --> 17:35.800
Ming Yi, where are you?

17:35.879 --> 17:37.240
I can't see you.

17:37.320 --> 17:39.120
Zhang Tai, stop struggling.

17:39.200 --> 17:41.480
Xun Ming trapped your primordial spirit
in his Illusory Realm.

17:41.560 --> 17:43.000
I can only reach you
through your two senses,

17:43.080 --> 17:44.760
but I can't pull you out.

17:44.840 --> 17:47.280
Only by recreating what
the Yousu Fox Tribe treasures most

17:47.360 --> 17:49.680
can I break the Illusory Realm
and free you.

17:49.760 --> 17:51.280
So, tell me.

17:51.360 --> 17:53.560
What is Xun Ming's most cherished memory?

17:54.240 --> 17:57.240
Tell me everything between you two.

17:58.040 --> 17:59.320
All right.

18:03.440 --> 18:05.120
Back at Moonlit Blossoms,

18:05.639 --> 18:07.720
Xun Ming wouldn't let go of my hand.

18:08.600 --> 18:10.800
He wouldn't look away from me.

18:10.879 --> 18:12.760
He was different from all the other men.

18:13.639 --> 18:14.840
And as you know,

18:15.520 --> 18:17.639
he was tall, handsome,

18:17.720 --> 18:19.200
and seemed rich.

18:21.560 --> 18:23.680
I naively thought

18:24.480 --> 18:27.080
I'd finally found someone
to spend my life with.

18:27.159 --> 18:29.919
But after marrying him, I realized

18:30.440 --> 18:32.600
he really was different from others.

18:32.679 --> 18:33.600
He's insane!

18:35.440 --> 18:39.639
He kept performing
fox tribe wedding rituals with me

18:39.720 --> 18:41.000
again and again,

18:41.080 --> 18:42.960
never skipping a single step.

18:43.040 --> 18:45.960
We've done it at least 20 times.

18:46.040 --> 18:48.560
And every time,
he made me play music with him

18:48.639 --> 18:50.159
until my fingers hurt,

18:50.240 --> 18:51.639
and he still wouldn't stop.

19:00.320 --> 19:02.480
He even forced a new name on me.

19:03.159 --> 19:05.600
Mu Xinliu.

19:06.200 --> 19:07.120
-Mu Xinliu?
-The more I thought about it,

19:07.200 --> 19:08.159
the weirder it felt.

19:08.240 --> 19:11.639
Maybe he had a lover by that name?

19:12.240 --> 19:15.760
But how could I resemble her?

19:16.960 --> 19:18.919
No, impossible.

19:19.000 --> 19:20.240
I don't believe it.

19:20.320 --> 19:22.399
No one could be as beautiful as I am.

19:22.480 --> 19:23.600
Get to the point.

19:23.679 --> 19:25.720
What's his most cherished memory?

19:27.360 --> 19:30.240
His most cherished memory?

19:31.480 --> 19:33.399
I… I'm not sure.

19:34.200 --> 19:36.560
It probably has something
to do with that woman he loved.

19:36.639 --> 19:39.280
Do you remember how you got
trapped in this Illusory Realm?

19:41.440 --> 19:45.960
Well, I kept talking about going back
to Moonlit Blossoms to see everyone,

19:46.040 --> 19:48.000
and it upset Xun Ming.

19:48.080 --> 19:50.520
To cheer him up, I gave him wine

19:51.840 --> 19:55.760
and tried to get him to talk
about that woman he loved.

19:56.360 --> 19:58.120
He got drunk

19:58.200 --> 19:59.600
and kept saying,

19:59.679 --> 20:01.679
"Whether you have
true feelings for me or not,

20:01.760 --> 20:05.120
you're the only one I love."

20:05.200 --> 20:06.760
Then he tried to kiss me.

20:08.320 --> 20:09.480
Xinliu…

20:14.760 --> 20:16.480
If it'd been only once
or twice, it would've been fine.

20:17.159 --> 20:19.040
He's not bad-looking,

20:19.120 --> 20:21.720
so I didn't really mind.

20:22.320 --> 20:25.480
-But after 20 kisses, I went numb.
-Zhang Tai!

20:25.560 --> 20:26.520
We're running out of time.

20:26.600 --> 20:27.879
Once the incense
burns out, I have to leave.

20:27.960 --> 20:29.320
Get to the point.

20:29.399 --> 20:31.480
I'm getting there.

20:32.159 --> 20:34.080
We held another wedding ceremony.

20:34.639 --> 20:37.320
The same ritual. The same steps.

20:41.760 --> 20:43.240
I'm tired of playing music.

20:44.760 --> 20:46.520
He walked toward me,

20:47.040 --> 20:48.399
and I suddenly fainted.

20:49.080 --> 20:52.000
When I woke up, I was here.

20:52.080 --> 20:53.120
Here? In this forest?

20:55.120 --> 20:55.960
Forest?

20:57.639 --> 20:59.399
What forest?

20:59.480 --> 21:01.159
From what I see,

21:01.240 --> 21:02.919
you're trapped in a forest.

21:03.440 --> 21:04.399
Where are you really?

21:05.440 --> 21:07.440
I'm in Xun Ming's Dengxian Cave.

21:16.080 --> 21:20.240
He… He locked me in what was supposed
to be our bridal chamber.

21:40.440 --> 21:41.600
You are just like her.

22:00.360 --> 22:02.879
Zhang Tai, listen to me.

22:02.960 --> 22:06.320
You are probably trapped inside
an Illusory Realm Xun Ming created.

22:06.399 --> 22:07.560
Think carefully.

22:07.639 --> 22:09.480
Is there anything strange around you?

22:15.200 --> 22:16.240
Ming Yi,

22:16.760 --> 22:19.399
I hear strange sounds.

22:19.480 --> 22:20.840
Women's voices.

22:21.439 --> 22:23.399
I don't think I'm the only one.

22:24.040 --> 22:25.280
Before me,

22:25.360 --> 22:29.240
he probably married many others
who resembled the woman he loved.

22:29.320 --> 22:31.679
They might all be dead now.

22:33.639 --> 22:35.200
And I might also…

22:40.040 --> 22:41.280
Ming Yi,

22:42.080 --> 22:46.240
I don't think I can hold on much longer.

23:09.320 --> 23:10.360
There's no time left.

23:39.000 --> 23:43.200
UNERRING BALANCE

23:49.280 --> 23:51.360
I haven't eaten this much in a while.

23:56.960 --> 23:58.080
Why did you eat so much?

23:58.679 --> 24:00.320
You kept feeding me.

24:00.399 --> 24:01.439
Here.

24:05.240 --> 24:06.240
Here.

24:07.760 --> 24:08.600
Are you full now?

24:10.240 --> 24:12.080
General, you're back.
Is the house all right?

24:14.360 --> 24:15.760
Thank you for your hospitality.

24:15.840 --> 24:18.240
We've finished our meal.
We'll be leaving now.

24:18.320 --> 24:19.800
-Thank you, General.
-Let's go.

24:20.840 --> 24:23.600
LIMPID SERENITY

24:23.679 --> 24:25.919
The fox tribe sure makes good chicken.

24:26.000 --> 24:26.919
Little glutton.

24:35.639 --> 24:39.000
Zhang Tai didn't know
what Xun Ming's most cherished memory was,

24:39.080 --> 24:40.280
but she thought

24:40.360 --> 24:44.399
it would be about his unforgettable love,
Mu Xinliu.

24:45.000 --> 24:46.200
Someone from the Mu clan?

24:49.760 --> 24:51.800
I know where we might find clues.

24:56.840 --> 24:59.560
So, one can enter the Langhuan Pavilion
simply by registering during the day.

24:59.639 --> 25:01.080
Then, last time, why did you…?

25:02.320 --> 25:03.800
It was theft last time.

25:03.879 --> 25:06.080
This time, we're borrowing books.
Not the same thing.

25:18.120 --> 25:19.840
Not this one either.

25:26.000 --> 25:27.720
GENEALOGY OF THE MU CLAN

25:43.439 --> 25:44.360
You found it?

25:45.159 --> 25:46.639
It's the royal genealogy of Jixing Abyss.

25:47.480 --> 25:49.639
Good job, Lord Ji. Let me see.

25:52.280 --> 25:55.480
So, only Judgment Hall officials
can touch this book?

25:58.280 --> 26:00.879
Wait, Lord Ji.
If you open it by force and damage it,

26:00.960 --> 26:02.240
how will we explain that?

26:03.040 --> 26:04.639
This flimsy seal is nothing to me.

26:08.320 --> 26:09.639
Greetings, Immortal Situ.

26:10.520 --> 26:11.360
He's here.

26:12.639 --> 26:15.000
Hide. Trust me.

26:15.960 --> 26:17.040
Hurry…

26:34.800 --> 26:35.879
What a coincidence.

26:37.960 --> 26:39.120
Sister Yi?

26:42.760 --> 26:43.639
Greetings, Immortal Situ.

26:44.560 --> 26:46.040
Sister Yi, what are you doing here?

26:48.320 --> 26:50.639
-"Sister Yi".
-Is there something you want to know?

26:51.360 --> 26:52.280
I can help you.

26:52.879 --> 26:55.439
I can even make it seem
like the Judgment Hall is behind it.

26:56.480 --> 26:57.639
It's nothing special.

26:57.720 --> 27:00.840
Immortal Ji often
takes me out to socialize,

27:00.919 --> 27:02.720
and there's a lot I don't know.

27:02.800 --> 27:04.600
He said the Judgment Hall's archive

27:04.679 --> 27:06.800
has plenty of books I can borrow and read

27:06.879 --> 27:08.040
to avoid making mistakes.

27:08.120 --> 27:11.280
But I just can't open this one.

27:11.360 --> 27:12.639
You're in charge here.

27:12.720 --> 27:13.879
Surely you can open it, right?

27:14.919 --> 27:16.360
You're keeping Ji Bozai company.

27:16.439 --> 27:17.800
He should be bearing the consequences.

27:17.879 --> 27:19.960
He has no right to make
you do anything for him.

27:26.360 --> 27:27.520
Thank you in advance, Immortal Situ.

27:28.120 --> 27:29.520
Please, help me this once.

27:31.520 --> 27:32.399
Fine.

27:32.919 --> 27:34.639
I'll help with whatever you need.

27:35.960 --> 27:37.240
However,

27:37.320 --> 27:41.199
could you not mention
Ji Bozai in front of me again?

27:41.800 --> 27:42.679
All right.

27:59.800 --> 28:01.000
Thank you, Immortal Situ.

28:08.199 --> 28:11.159
MU QIBAI, THE SECOND SON

28:13.960 --> 28:15.120
Are you investigating Lord Hanfeng?

28:17.080 --> 28:18.199
Investigate?

28:18.879 --> 28:20.679
That sounds harsh.

28:20.760 --> 28:23.040
I only mean to learn more about him,

28:23.120 --> 28:24.960
given his high status.

28:25.040 --> 28:28.120
This royal genealogy
is all about the Mu clan.

28:28.199 --> 28:30.919
If they marry outside the clan,
does it go unrecorded?

28:32.280 --> 28:34.360
By custom,
once two people form a heart imprint

28:34.439 --> 28:36.679
and carve their names
on the Marriage Stone at Mengyuan Pond,

28:36.760 --> 28:38.280
their names are entered
into the genealogy.

28:41.439 --> 28:43.199
MU XINLIU, MARRIED TO XUN MING

28:44.919 --> 28:45.879
MU XINLIU, THE ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTER

28:45.959 --> 28:47.720
Mu Xinliu married Xun Ming.

28:54.600 --> 28:56.439
Jixing Abyss really excels
at making artifacts.

28:56.520 --> 28:58.600
Even this book
has more than meets the eye.

28:59.639 --> 29:02.120
Sister Yi, don't say things like that.

29:02.199 --> 29:03.600
If anyone overheard,

29:03.679 --> 29:05.800
they might suspect
you're not from Jixing Abyss.

29:14.679 --> 29:16.240
I suddenly feel a chill.

29:18.360 --> 29:21.560
It is a bit cold here.

29:25.080 --> 29:26.040
What a coincidence.

29:31.360 --> 29:32.959
Immortal Ji, you've been here all along.

29:33.040 --> 29:34.639
Why did you hide?

29:34.720 --> 29:35.959
I wasn't hiding.

29:38.439 --> 29:39.760
We were on a tryst.

29:42.199 --> 29:44.199
But someone intruded unexpectedly.

29:44.280 --> 29:48.439
By the way, I heard
you call her "Sister Yi" just now.

29:48.520 --> 29:50.560
Since you are so eager to be her family,

29:50.639 --> 29:53.000
why not drop the formalities
and call me "Brother-in-law"?

30:04.560 --> 30:06.080
Why so shy all of a sudden?

30:11.840 --> 30:13.879
We still have matters to attend to.
We'll be going now.

30:13.959 --> 30:16.840
Again, thank you
for your help today, Immortal Situ.

30:16.919 --> 30:18.439
Let's go. Come on.

30:19.520 --> 30:20.560
Come on.

30:24.159 --> 30:25.199
Hurry…

30:32.560 --> 30:33.720
Thank you.

30:48.159 --> 30:49.320
Your Lordship, didn't you find any clues

30:49.399 --> 30:51.639
about the Golden Millet Dream
in the archive?

30:52.520 --> 30:54.679
So far, there are no new discoveries.

30:55.240 --> 30:58.120
I only know the Bo clan's old residence
on Zhangwei Mountain was exposed,

30:59.040 --> 31:02.080
and Mu Qibai took the chance
to seize the "Bo's Medical Classics".

31:03.040 --> 31:05.800
But the formula of the Golden Millet Dream
was only found in fragments.

31:06.320 --> 31:08.480
Even the Sunken Abyss
failed to reproduce it.

31:10.399 --> 31:11.840
If I can't find the Golden Millet Dream,

31:12.679 --> 31:15.399
I'll never have
spiritual veins in this life.

31:17.320 --> 31:18.720
Even without them,

31:18.800 --> 31:21.760
you mastered the Thousand Insect Spell.

31:21.840 --> 31:23.760
But I can hardly compete
in the Qingyun Tournament with that.

31:24.439 --> 31:25.800
Don't lose heart.

31:25.879 --> 31:26.800
There's still Ji Bozai.

31:26.879 --> 31:29.120
They all say he has
the Golden Millet Dream.

31:30.840 --> 31:33.439
It vanished from the Six Realms long ago.

31:33.520 --> 31:36.760
How do you think he gained
spiritual veins all of a sudden?

31:37.679 --> 31:39.560
He's probably connected to the Bo clan.

31:40.240 --> 31:43.120
He might even be one of its descendants.

31:45.320 --> 31:47.800
-Why is he always brought up?
-What?

31:50.120 --> 31:51.240
Nothing.

31:52.560 --> 31:55.760
Anyway, since Jixing Abyss has been
refining medicines in the Sunken Abyss,

31:55.840 --> 31:56.919
they must have the formulas.

31:58.159 --> 32:01.760
I was hoping to find clues
in the Judgment Hall's archives,

32:02.520 --> 32:04.719
something to help me make
the Golden Millet Dream myself,

32:04.800 --> 32:06.320
but I found nothing.

32:07.080 --> 32:08.679
The fastest way

32:09.840 --> 32:11.919
is still to steal it from Ji Bozai.

32:12.520 --> 32:13.719
Fuyue,

32:13.800 --> 32:16.840
that makes me feel so useless.

32:18.320 --> 32:19.760
Then I'll go steal it.

32:19.840 --> 32:22.159
I'll be the useless one. Is that better?

32:33.120 --> 32:34.159
By the way,

32:34.679 --> 32:36.240
I checked for you.

32:36.919 --> 32:40.360
After Ming Xian lost
the last Qingyun Tournament,

32:40.439 --> 32:42.399
she vanished from Yaoguang Mountain.

32:42.480 --> 32:45.480
Some say she defected.

32:46.439 --> 32:49.000
As for why she reverted to her female form

32:49.080 --> 32:51.040
and is now staying by Ji Bozai's side,

32:51.760 --> 32:53.639
I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

32:54.159 --> 32:55.399
You looked into her?

32:56.919 --> 32:59.639
Wasn't it you who wanted
news of her, Your Lordship?

32:59.719 --> 33:01.159
But I never said to investigate her.

33:01.959 --> 33:02.879
Fuyue,

33:03.679 --> 33:05.120
you must not hurt Ming Yi.

33:14.520 --> 33:16.320
This is the first time you've scolded me.

33:23.840 --> 33:25.480
I'm sorry, Fuyue.

33:25.560 --> 33:28.199
I will follow your orders, Your Lordship.

33:30.080 --> 33:31.000
I…

33:43.240 --> 33:44.280
Lord Ji.

33:48.959 --> 33:50.080
Are you close to Situ Ling?

33:52.159 --> 33:53.840
You've known him a long time, right?

33:53.919 --> 33:55.120
Jealous again.

33:55.199 --> 33:56.520
Of course not.

33:57.040 --> 34:00.399
Immortal Situ rescued me and Ruo Shui
from a netherbeast.

34:00.480 --> 34:04.080
I only stayed in contact with him
out of gratitude.

34:04.159 --> 34:05.280
We're not close.

34:05.360 --> 34:06.639
Then why is he so willing to help you?

34:08.000 --> 34:09.080
Earlier,

34:09.799 --> 34:13.239
he used Mu Qibai's artifact
to search Jixing Abyss,

34:13.319 --> 34:14.319
causing a huge scene,

34:14.400 --> 34:16.279
but then he let it slide so easily.

34:18.639 --> 34:19.719
Maybe…

34:20.239 --> 34:24.920
Maybe he took a fancy to me.

34:31.080 --> 34:32.000
Stay away from him.

34:38.279 --> 34:39.799
I'm worried he'll trick you

34:40.560 --> 34:41.759
into saying things you shouldn't.

34:44.279 --> 34:46.279
I didn't ask for an explanation.

34:53.920 --> 34:56.080
Lord Ji, you were right.

34:56.159 --> 34:59.120
Mu Xinliu really was Lord Hanfeng's cousin

34:59.200 --> 35:00.799
and Xun Ming's late wife.

35:00.880 --> 35:02.560
According to Zhang Tai,

35:02.640 --> 35:05.040
Xun Ming made her reenact

35:05.120 --> 35:06.839
the Yousu Fox Tribe wedding
again and again,

35:06.920 --> 35:10.400
and she entered the Illusory Realm

35:10.480 --> 35:12.040
during the ceremony.

35:12.120 --> 35:13.279
So, I think

35:13.360 --> 35:15.799
Xun Ming's most cherished memory

35:15.880 --> 35:18.600
must be his wedding to Mu Xinliu.

35:18.680 --> 35:20.480
To enter Xun Ming's Illusory Realm,

35:21.319 --> 35:22.759
you must recreate his wedding.

35:45.560 --> 35:48.440
If we are to recreate
a Yousu Fox Tribe wedding,

35:48.520 --> 35:51.000
we can't use an outsider to play along.

35:51.720 --> 35:53.400
It would be too unpredictable.

35:55.560 --> 35:56.759
You have a point.

35:57.360 --> 35:59.400
Why don't you and Granny Xun
stage the wedding?

36:00.080 --> 36:02.440
That way, we can respond quickly
if something goes wrong.

36:05.600 --> 36:08.640
But if Granny Xun and I hold a wedding
and invite Xun Ming,

36:09.640 --> 36:11.880
will he really attend?

36:13.200 --> 36:15.000
You're actually willing to do this?

36:15.080 --> 36:18.319
Has it occurred to you
that Granny Xun might refuse?

36:19.520 --> 36:21.120
She would?

36:23.680 --> 36:25.600
In that case,

36:26.400 --> 36:28.759
the only people suitable
to stage this fake wedding

36:28.839 --> 36:30.839
are Ming Yi and you.

36:34.319 --> 36:37.680
But you don't trust her, do you?

36:41.560 --> 36:42.920
All this time,

36:43.000 --> 36:45.600
Ming Yi has had no contact
with the outside.

36:45.680 --> 36:48.440
Besides, with her weak spiritual power,
she poses no threat.

36:48.520 --> 36:51.520
When you enter the Illusory Realm
and get rid of Xun Ming,

36:51.600 --> 36:53.359
even if she notices something,

36:53.440 --> 36:55.480
we can deal with her quickly.

36:57.359 --> 36:59.279
But Your Lordship, I must warn you.

36:59.359 --> 37:02.680
When the time comes,
you must be ruthless with Ming Yi.

37:02.759 --> 37:04.440
If she must be sacrificed,

37:04.520 --> 37:06.240
do not hesitate.

37:07.400 --> 37:08.600
Fine.

37:09.160 --> 37:10.359
I know what to do.

37:10.440 --> 37:11.440
It's settled then.

37:15.040 --> 37:17.240
Your acting has never been better.

37:17.319 --> 37:19.160
You can go to Ming Yi now.

37:19.240 --> 37:21.560
Ask for her hand
and trick her into marrying you.

37:27.480 --> 37:28.720
What a plan.

37:38.600 --> 37:39.640
Go.

37:42.920 --> 37:44.120
Let me think.

37:51.560 --> 37:53.920
Lord Ji, didn't you say we should check
Moonlit Blossoms

37:54.000 --> 37:56.200
for any missed clues
about the Yousu Fox Tribe? Hurry…

37:58.040 --> 37:59.000
Are you really worried about Zhang Tai?

37:59.080 --> 38:00.720
Of course.

38:00.799 --> 38:03.440
Before I left the Illusory Realm,
Zhang Tai said she could barely hold on.

38:04.040 --> 38:04.920
You also said

38:05.000 --> 38:06.240
that once someone's three souls
and seven senses are taken,

38:06.319 --> 38:08.480
they won't live more than 15 days. I…

38:09.560 --> 38:12.319
Your acting has never been better.

38:12.400 --> 38:14.080
You can go to Ming Yi now.

38:14.160 --> 38:17.160
Ask for her hand
and trick her into marrying you.

38:18.799 --> 38:21.240
No fighting or bloodshed needed.

38:21.319 --> 38:23.120
Just get married and it's done.

38:23.200 --> 38:26.480
Ask for her hand
and trick her into marrying you.

38:26.560 --> 38:28.440
So simple. I believe in you.

38:28.520 --> 38:30.200
Just get married and it's done.

38:30.279 --> 38:32.440
Ask for her hand
and trick her into marrying you.

38:32.520 --> 38:33.839
No fighting needed.

38:33.920 --> 38:35.799
So simple. I believe in you.

38:35.880 --> 38:37.359
-Ask for her hand
-It'll be a piece of cake.

38:37.440 --> 38:39.200
-and trick her into marrying you.
-Just get married and it's done.

38:39.920 --> 38:41.839
Marry me, Lord Ji.

38:48.799 --> 38:51.920
We'll separate afterward.
That will be easy.

38:52.520 --> 38:54.480
Let's get married and save her first.

38:55.759 --> 38:57.080
-Besides--
-All right.

39:02.440 --> 39:03.279
I know

39:03.799 --> 39:05.160
you only want this wedding

39:05.240 --> 39:06.520
because you want to save Zhang Tai.

39:07.640 --> 39:09.799
Rest assured. This marriage will be fake,

39:10.359 --> 39:12.759
and I will only invite Xun Ming.

39:13.359 --> 39:14.720
We will not carve our names
on the Marriage Stone.

39:15.759 --> 39:17.200
Nor will we form a heart imprint.

39:18.160 --> 39:19.400
Your reputation

39:19.920 --> 39:20.960
won't be affected in any way.

39:22.680 --> 39:24.319
Lord Ji, you needn't worry about me.

39:24.400 --> 39:27.040
As for carving names
and forming a heart imprint…

39:27.120 --> 39:28.960
You have sacrificed
enough for your friends.

39:29.040 --> 39:30.799
You must not sacrifice any more.

39:32.480 --> 39:33.319
Trust me.

39:36.960 --> 39:38.480
You always think things through.

39:42.640 --> 39:46.040
You refused to marry me before.

39:46.120 --> 39:48.799
Why are you willing to make
such a sacrifice to help me now?

39:54.040 --> 39:56.799
Do you have some other plan in mind?

40:00.440 --> 40:01.799
Must I always have some scheme?

40:06.720 --> 40:08.560
Thank you for helping me.

40:08.640 --> 40:10.120
You're helping me out of a sense of duty.

40:10.200 --> 40:12.120
I will not let you suffer for it.

40:12.200 --> 40:15.040
After we save her, we'll part if you wish.

40:15.560 --> 40:17.359
Although I like you,

40:17.440 --> 40:19.480
I will not cling to you.

40:23.359 --> 40:24.200
All right.

40:35.880 --> 40:38.799
After we save her, we'll part if you wish.

40:39.319 --> 40:41.120
Although I like you,

40:41.200 --> 40:43.400
I will not cling to you.

40:53.359 --> 40:56.920
Is Your Lordship plotting
how to make Xun Ming attend the ceremony?

40:59.440 --> 41:01.920
I already know how to make him come.

41:02.640 --> 41:03.720
Then what are you thinking?

41:23.120 --> 41:25.799
INVITATION TO JI BOZAI
AND MING YI'S WEDDING

41:54.000 --> 41:58.279
How dare Ji Bozai hold his wedding

41:58.359 --> 41:59.640
at Xinliu's burial site?

42:10.040 --> 42:11.640
Luosheng Forest.

42:12.640 --> 42:13.960
It was also the place

42:14.680 --> 42:16.799
where you and my cousin pledged your love.

42:17.319 --> 42:19.000
If they chose that place,

42:19.520 --> 42:21.680
they must expect you to show up.

42:24.880 --> 42:26.680
Go if you want.

42:26.759 --> 42:27.759
I will not stop you.

42:28.600 --> 42:30.240
But remember this.

42:30.319 --> 42:32.480
Do not lose your composure because of it.

42:33.120 --> 42:34.240
Don't worry.

42:34.960 --> 42:36.359
I'm not that useless.

42:54.359 --> 42:55.839
INVITATION, MING YI

42:58.200 --> 42:59.520
JI BOZAI
N, MING YI
