WEBVTT

01:27.360 --> 01:30.920
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

01:59.720 --> 02:01.000
Are you all right?

02:02.280 --> 02:04.399
Why did only you come? Where's Ming Yi?

02:04.479 --> 02:05.839
How is His Lordship?

02:07.280 --> 02:08.600
The Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
has been removed,

02:09.519 --> 02:10.759
but the netherbeast core
inside him is leaking.

02:12.040 --> 02:14.079
He could lose his mind at any moment.

02:14.680 --> 02:15.519
Be careful.

02:16.239 --> 02:17.280
Ming Yi?

02:20.359 --> 02:21.680
-Ming Yi.
-Ji Bozai.

02:23.239 --> 02:25.480
Ji Bozai. Ji Bozai.

02:26.160 --> 02:27.200
Wake up.

02:29.400 --> 02:30.400
What happened to him?

02:31.000 --> 02:33.760
His body and mind are weak.

02:34.280 --> 02:36.320
Even the nightmares he finally let go of

02:37.239 --> 02:38.840
have returned.

02:41.120 --> 02:42.120
Nightmares

02:43.920 --> 02:44.799
about the Sunken Abyss?

02:47.720 --> 02:49.799
His Lordship once told me

02:49.880 --> 02:52.280
that being poisoned there kept him alive,

02:53.480 --> 02:55.440
though at the time,

02:56.120 --> 02:57.720
he wished he'd died instead.

03:01.000 --> 03:05.480
Those miasmas and herbs kept him alive.

03:06.560 --> 03:07.760
But it wasn't until he met Bo Yulan

03:08.320 --> 03:10.000
that he was truly healed.

03:14.000 --> 03:15.480
It's all right.

03:15.560 --> 03:16.480
I'm here.

03:17.000 --> 03:19.079
You're safe now. It's all right.

03:20.399 --> 03:21.519
It's all right.

03:22.679 --> 03:23.760
You're safe now.

04:29.599 --> 04:31.280
You're awake.

04:32.039 --> 04:33.640
Finally!

05:09.039 --> 05:10.960
At Mu Qibai's instigation, Meng Yangqiu

05:11.560 --> 05:13.640
poisoned me
with a Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop.

05:13.719 --> 05:16.080
Mu Qibai will probably come soon
with his men

05:16.159 --> 05:18.840
to pin the crime of raising
netherbeasts on me.

05:19.599 --> 05:20.960
Am I alive now

05:22.719 --> 05:24.000
only because of you?

05:27.159 --> 05:30.320
Buxiu went to Dragon Carp Terrace first
to stall them.

05:30.400 --> 05:31.359
Then I went to help.

05:31.960 --> 05:33.280
We're allies.

05:33.359 --> 05:35.080
Of course, I'd protect you.

05:38.560 --> 05:40.080
Yesterday at Shouhua Academy,

05:40.719 --> 05:42.440
everyone said I was raising netherbeasts.

05:43.080 --> 05:44.120
Did you not suspect I might have

05:45.000 --> 05:46.680
absorbed the netherbeast core for myself

05:47.320 --> 05:48.719
instead of refining it?

05:49.840 --> 05:50.680
What?

05:53.120 --> 05:55.039
So, you really didn't.

06:01.240 --> 06:02.280
Earlier,

06:03.280 --> 06:07.039
did you also believe
I never plotted against Ming Xian?

06:10.080 --> 06:11.320
I trust you.

06:13.599 --> 06:14.800
You entered my Spirit Well, didn't you?

06:22.799 --> 06:23.719
Yes.

06:24.479 --> 06:25.440
So, you know everything?

06:31.000 --> 06:31.840
Yes.

06:32.440 --> 06:34.000
I know you hid

06:34.080 --> 06:37.200
the Golden Millet Dream
in your Spirit Well.

06:41.000 --> 06:44.320
Everyone in the Six Realms covets it.

06:45.440 --> 06:46.960
You had a chance to take it.

06:48.159 --> 06:50.120
And I'm Ming Xian's greatest rival.

06:50.799 --> 06:52.799
You could have eliminated me

06:54.280 --> 06:55.400
once and for all.

07:01.479 --> 07:02.799
Though gravely injured yesterday,

07:03.440 --> 07:04.560
I could still sense

07:04.640 --> 07:06.560
you using Jixing Abyss spiritual power.

07:07.640 --> 07:08.799
It was the Graft Spell, right?

07:11.840 --> 07:13.400
You could've kept
your identity hidden from me.

07:14.479 --> 07:15.960
Why didn't you use it before?

07:27.880 --> 07:31.039
I got tired of lying to you.

07:31.120 --> 07:33.120
So, I stopped.

07:38.000 --> 07:41.159
Will you lie to me again?

07:46.640 --> 07:47.799
Are your feelings for me

07:49.919 --> 07:51.440
real?

08:01.560 --> 08:03.000
-I…
-Your Lordship,

08:03.080 --> 08:04.799
Lord Hanfeng and Immortal Situ are here.

08:06.880 --> 08:08.440
It's about time Mu Qibai came.

08:09.400 --> 08:10.880
You carry netherbeast energy.
How will you face them?

08:10.960 --> 08:12.000
Let me handle it.

08:26.320 --> 08:29.359
Immortal Situ,
you rarely show enthusiasm for work,

08:30.120 --> 08:32.360
yet whenever it concerns Wugui Sea,

08:32.439 --> 08:33.919
you're always the first to arrive.

08:34.959 --> 08:36.919
Who exactly are you doing this for?

08:38.360 --> 08:39.679
Lord Hanfeng, what are you implying?

08:40.720 --> 08:43.400
Investigation and law enforcement
are the duty of the Judgment Hall.

08:44.000 --> 08:45.280
No matter the case,

08:45.800 --> 08:48.040
I'm obligated to uncover
the truth as soon as possible.

08:57.760 --> 09:01.199
You tried to frame my husband
with some caltrop,

09:01.280 --> 09:02.760
and you still dare to cause trouble
at Wugui Sea today?

09:03.760 --> 09:05.959
Since the day the sinner Hou Zhao
turned himself in,

09:06.040 --> 09:07.520
I'd suspected

09:07.600 --> 09:10.280
someone in Jixing Abyss
was raising netherbeasts,

09:10.360 --> 09:11.640
so I ordered a search.

09:11.720 --> 09:12.600
Little did I expect

09:12.680 --> 09:15.240
Ji Bozai to be the culprit.

09:16.160 --> 09:18.520
-Now, with solid evidence…
-Solid evidence?

09:19.120 --> 09:20.280
Tell me.

09:20.360 --> 09:22.280
What exactly makes it solid?

09:22.360 --> 09:24.959
After Meng Yangqiu gave Ji Bozai
a Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop,

09:25.839 --> 09:27.839
Ji Bozai started
to emit netherbeast energy.

09:27.920 --> 09:30.920
Everyone at Shouhua Academy
saw it with their own eyes.

09:31.000 --> 09:32.800
-Yes.
-Many people saw it.

09:32.880 --> 09:34.240
-It's absolutely true.
-Yes.

09:34.319 --> 09:35.199
Do it!

09:36.600 --> 09:37.600
Wait.

09:43.760 --> 09:45.040
Everyone knows

09:45.720 --> 09:47.120
that those who raise netherbeasts

09:47.199 --> 09:48.959
carry lingering netherbeast energy
that never fades.

09:49.040 --> 09:50.280
So, let's test him again.

09:51.439 --> 09:53.959
If no netherbeast energy
is found this time,

09:54.040 --> 09:55.720
it will prove his innocence.

10:03.120 --> 10:06.040
This Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
was retrieved

10:06.120 --> 10:09.319
from Shouhua Academy by the Judgment Hall
after Ji Bozai left.

10:10.040 --> 10:11.360
Ming Yi,

10:12.199 --> 10:14.640
may I have the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop

10:14.720 --> 10:15.600
taken from Ji Bozai?

10:16.680 --> 10:19.680
I can remove its power
so it won't detect anything.

10:20.240 --> 10:22.880
It disappeared when I took it off him.

10:22.959 --> 10:24.199
I couldn't keep it.

10:27.720 --> 10:29.000
Don't worry.

10:29.079 --> 10:31.600
I'll find a way
to prove Immortal Ji's innocence.

10:32.720 --> 10:33.680
Thank you.

10:38.400 --> 10:39.520
How can you prove

10:40.120 --> 10:43.280
this Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
hasn't been tampered with?

10:47.439 --> 10:49.120
Then examine it yourself, Lord Hanfeng.

10:51.000 --> 10:52.439
Anyone who raises netherbeasts

10:52.520 --> 10:54.360
wouldn't dare touch it.

10:55.920 --> 10:57.680
Situ Ling is bluffing him.

11:06.439 --> 11:07.959
Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop.

11:13.079 --> 11:16.280
Immortal Situ, is this really
the same caltrop as before?

11:16.360 --> 11:17.560
If it is,

11:18.160 --> 11:19.839
how can you hold it barehanded?

11:20.360 --> 11:22.680
The caltrop can detect netherbeast energy,

11:22.760 --> 11:24.040
but it's harmless itself.

11:24.120 --> 11:25.079
Of course, he can touch it.

11:25.160 --> 11:26.640
Really?

11:26.719 --> 11:29.079
But Lord Hanfeng told me

11:29.160 --> 11:31.800
it must never be touched directly,

11:31.880 --> 11:32.760
so…

11:36.240 --> 11:37.120
-Meng Yangqiu!
-What's happening to Meng Yangqiu?

11:37.199 --> 11:38.400
-Yeah.
-Meng Yangqiu!

11:38.480 --> 11:39.480
Something's wrong.

11:39.560 --> 11:40.680
-Is his old illness acting up?
-Meng Yangqiu.

11:40.760 --> 11:41.880
Meng Yangqiu.

11:41.959 --> 11:45.120
Yan Xiao, check on him quickly.
What's going on?

11:45.839 --> 11:49.240
He looks like he's dying.

11:49.319 --> 11:51.439
Hurry, see what's wrong.

11:56.920 --> 11:58.719
What's wrong with him?

11:58.800 --> 12:00.360
-Yes, hurry.
-Something's off.

12:00.439 --> 12:01.880
-Right.
-He was fine just a moment ago.

12:01.959 --> 12:03.000
Meng Yangqiu.

12:29.400 --> 12:30.959
-Ji Bozai?
-He found out?

12:31.040 --> 12:31.959
He saw through it.

12:32.040 --> 12:35.480
Lord Hanfeng, are you trying
to kill him here in my Wugui Sea?

12:35.560 --> 12:37.160
Exactly.

12:37.240 --> 12:38.079
Well…

12:43.920 --> 12:45.640
Kill him?

12:46.240 --> 12:48.959
Bozai, what are you talking about?

13:04.880 --> 13:06.160
Ji Bozai

13:06.240 --> 13:07.400
has netherbeast marks on his face!

13:07.480 --> 13:08.520
He's tainted by netherbeasts!

13:09.160 --> 13:12.000
If Lord Ji truly keeps netherbeasts
and has been corrupted by them,

13:12.079 --> 13:14.520
he would've lost his mind long ago
and fallen under their control.

13:15.120 --> 13:17.719
But look, he stands before us,
perfectly sane.

13:17.800 --> 13:19.280
What more proof do you need?

13:20.040 --> 13:21.400
-Ji Bozai…
-Did he really…

13:21.480 --> 13:23.079
You want another test
with the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop?

13:23.160 --> 13:24.439
Did he really do such a thing?

13:26.880 --> 13:28.040
I'll do it myself.

14:13.400 --> 14:15.400
Immortal Ji dares to touch it barehanded.

14:16.000 --> 14:17.520
-I don't think he keeps netherbeasts.
-I think so too.

14:18.040 --> 14:20.880
That brat Situ Ling tricked me.

14:21.400 --> 14:23.520
This caltrop can't detect anything.

14:35.319 --> 14:36.520
Just a petty trick.

14:37.120 --> 14:38.479
I saw right through it.

14:39.079 --> 14:40.319
It may be petty,

14:40.839 --> 14:42.319
but it's enough to expose you.

14:57.920 --> 14:58.959
How…?

14:59.479 --> 15:00.560
Your Lordship!

15:01.280 --> 15:02.400
Lord Hanfeng has netherbeast marks too!

15:02.479 --> 15:04.319
-How could that be?
-Right.

15:04.400 --> 15:06.680
-How's that possible?
-Has he…

15:07.199 --> 15:08.240
Has he been raising netherbeasts?

15:08.760 --> 15:09.599
Hard to say.

15:09.680 --> 15:10.800
Right.

15:12.199 --> 15:13.680
I simply channeled the netherbeast energy

15:14.280 --> 15:16.479
that was once forced into me
back into the caltrop.

15:16.560 --> 15:18.479
Lord Hanfeng,

15:18.560 --> 15:20.400
you must be familiar
with this technique, right?

15:29.560 --> 15:32.280
The energy you injected
was a bit too strong.

15:33.719 --> 15:35.040
It took me more time

15:35.120 --> 15:36.880
to recover my appearance.

15:38.599 --> 15:39.560
Is this true?

15:39.640 --> 15:41.160
Did Lord Hanfeng really do such a thing?

15:41.240 --> 15:42.560
He wouldn't stoop so low, right?

15:42.640 --> 15:43.479
How can he do that?

15:43.560 --> 15:45.160
Now you see.

15:45.240 --> 15:46.959
My husband never kept netherbeasts.

15:47.560 --> 15:49.520
The problem has always been
that Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop.

15:50.560 --> 15:52.800
Meng Yangqiu was tricked by Lord Hanfeng.

15:52.880 --> 15:56.479
In truth, Lord Hanfeng
tampered with that caltrop

15:57.439 --> 15:59.199
to frame me through Meng Yangqiu.

15:59.920 --> 16:02.880
I merely used his own trick against him.

16:04.319 --> 16:05.520
If you do not believe me,

16:06.120 --> 16:09.400
I can go to the Judgment Hall
with Lord Hanfeng

16:09.479 --> 16:10.959
and settle this once and for all.

16:12.760 --> 16:14.040
-Good idea.
-Yes.

16:14.120 --> 16:15.199
-Another test.
-Exactly.

16:15.280 --> 16:17.319
-Do a test with another caltrop,
-Another test will do.

16:17.400 --> 16:18.560
and all will be clear.

16:19.079 --> 16:20.000
Lord Hanfeng,

16:21.240 --> 16:22.240
do you not dare?

16:23.120 --> 16:25.359
Then please, Lord Hanfeng and Immortal Ji,

16:25.439 --> 16:26.920
come with me to the Judgment Hall.

16:27.520 --> 16:29.120
I will uncover the truth

16:29.199 --> 16:31.760
and find out whose body
truly bears netherbeast energy.

16:33.640 --> 16:35.160
The Judgment Hall enforces
the law impartially.

16:35.240 --> 16:36.839
Do you intend to defy it, Lord Hanfeng?

16:37.839 --> 16:39.439
All the immortals are watching.

16:44.880 --> 16:45.920
It was me.

16:46.000 --> 16:47.359
I accidentally harmed Immortal Ji.

16:47.439 --> 16:48.880
This is the truth, Chief Situ.

16:48.959 --> 16:50.240
It's all my fault.

16:50.319 --> 16:51.280
His Lordship knows nothing.

16:52.680 --> 16:54.599
You tried to harm Ji Bozai?

16:55.439 --> 16:57.319
Since Ji Bozai became an immortal,

16:57.400 --> 16:59.000
Jixing Abyss has seen many disturbances,

16:59.079 --> 17:00.240
so I wanted to test him with a caltrop.

17:01.240 --> 17:03.880
But that caltrop
belonged to the sinner Xun Ming.

17:03.959 --> 17:06.760
Xun Ming probably tampered with it.

17:07.280 --> 17:09.040
My negligence caused this chaos.

17:09.119 --> 17:10.520
It has nothing to do with Lord Hanfeng.

17:10.599 --> 17:11.919
Please punish me, Chief Situ.

17:12.800 --> 17:14.680
You didn't know Xun Ming tampered with it,

17:14.760 --> 17:16.639
yet you knew it
couldn't be touched by hand?

17:21.119 --> 17:22.560
All is my fault.

17:22.639 --> 17:23.839
Please punish me.

17:27.200 --> 17:28.520
Lord Hanfeng,

17:28.600 --> 17:30.760
you really should be raising dogs.

17:30.840 --> 17:32.320
Otherwise, your talents are wasted.

17:32.399 --> 17:33.560
Surely you jest.

17:34.520 --> 17:35.680
I've failed in my duty.

17:36.600 --> 17:40.720
I raised these worthless "dogs"
who brought shame upon me.

17:43.360 --> 17:44.840
I failed to discipline them

17:44.919 --> 17:46.520
and ended up causing harm

17:46.600 --> 17:48.080
to your body and mind.

17:51.480 --> 17:53.600
Since he has confessed,

17:53.680 --> 17:57.040
Chief Situ, please investigate
impartially and strictly.

17:57.120 --> 17:58.080
Of course.

18:08.960 --> 18:11.000
And don't forget Meng Yangqiu.

18:12.760 --> 18:15.320
He was the one who gave Bozai

18:15.399 --> 18:16.560
the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop.

18:19.480 --> 18:20.680
Bring him away.

18:28.200 --> 18:31.080
Now that the matter is settled,

18:31.159 --> 18:33.040
we will take our leave.

18:33.639 --> 18:35.720
-I knew Immortal Ji was innocent.
-Yes, he's innocent.

18:35.800 --> 18:37.320
We are sorry, Immortal Ji.

18:37.399 --> 18:38.720
We misunderstood you before.

18:38.800 --> 18:41.440
-We truly misunderstood you, Immortal Ji.
-We misunderstood you.

18:43.440 --> 18:44.800
Please, Lord Hanfeng,

18:44.879 --> 18:47.399
find the one
who's been keeping netherbeasts

18:47.480 --> 18:48.679
and tear them to pieces.

18:50.159 --> 18:51.280
Certainly.

18:51.360 --> 18:52.280
When that day comes,

18:52.360 --> 18:55.360
I will invite you both to witness it.

19:00.280 --> 19:01.360
Great.

19:02.520 --> 19:04.280
-Granny Xun.
-Yes.

19:04.360 --> 19:05.200
See them out.

19:06.000 --> 19:07.200
Please leave.

19:30.760 --> 19:31.960
They're finally gone.

19:36.919 --> 19:38.600
How did you suddenly think

19:38.679 --> 19:41.639
to plant a caltrop with netherbeast energy
back onto Mu Qibai?

19:44.600 --> 19:46.200
Situ Ling's plan

19:46.280 --> 19:49.520
was simply to use a weakened caltrop
to solve the immediate problem.

19:52.600 --> 19:54.960
But those who wish to frame me

19:55.040 --> 19:56.800
will always come up with new tricks.

19:57.600 --> 20:00.560
So, I muddied the waters.

20:00.639 --> 20:01.960
Then they would have
no leverage against me.

20:17.600 --> 20:18.480
What's wrong?

20:20.600 --> 20:22.480
I think the Graft Spell backfired.

20:23.679 --> 20:25.000
It reverses spiritual veins.
Dangerous indeed.

20:25.720 --> 20:26.960
-Let me take a look.
-I'm fine.

20:27.960 --> 20:28.800
I…

20:30.919 --> 20:32.320
Mu Qibai just lost a round.

20:32.399 --> 20:34.840
He'll try to get back at you.

20:34.919 --> 20:37.840
Go and refine the netherbeast core.

20:37.919 --> 20:38.919
I will head back now.

20:39.679 --> 20:41.120
After some rest, I'll be fine.

20:41.200 --> 20:42.800
Be careful when you refine
the netherbeast core.

21:14.720 --> 21:17.280
Yan Xiao, what are you doing here?

21:25.919 --> 21:27.280
Shao Qun took all the blame.

21:27.360 --> 21:29.679
The Judgment Hall can only punish him
according to the law,

21:30.280 --> 21:31.560
so I came to get you out.

21:34.080 --> 21:35.240
What's wrong?

21:36.280 --> 21:37.879
Look at me now.

21:38.679 --> 21:39.800
You must be laughing at me inside.

21:40.440 --> 21:41.520
It's not that bad.

21:42.480 --> 21:43.560
Come on.

21:43.639 --> 21:44.720
But Yan Xiao,

21:44.800 --> 21:46.480
I really can't figure it out.

21:46.560 --> 21:49.879
What on earth is going on?
Ji Bozai is innocent.

21:49.960 --> 21:51.800
Lord Hanfeng's men tried to frame him.

21:52.399 --> 21:54.280
But why?

21:54.360 --> 21:56.360
What does Lord Hanfeng even want?

21:58.000 --> 21:59.240
And now,

22:00.399 --> 22:02.200
Tianji will never forgive me.

22:02.800 --> 22:05.159
How can I ever explain this to her?

22:09.960 --> 22:13.560
Yangqiu, how could Tianji possibly
forgive you?

22:13.639 --> 22:15.720
You and I are both Lord Hanfeng's men.

22:16.360 --> 22:17.439
And anyone who serves Lord Hanfeng

22:17.520 --> 22:21.040
is naturally Tianji's enemy.

22:21.120 --> 22:23.159
-I am Lord Hanfeng's man?
-Right.

22:23.240 --> 22:24.439
Since when?

22:27.320 --> 22:29.360
-You have always been.
-Why?

22:29.439 --> 22:32.120
I'm just distantly related to him.

22:32.200 --> 22:33.399
Tianji was close to him as a child

22:33.480 --> 22:35.800
and often brought me along
to play with him,

22:35.879 --> 22:36.840
so I got to know him too.

22:37.480 --> 22:39.560
Lord Hanfeng is just
a relative with an official title.

22:40.159 --> 22:42.159
Every time you had those meetings,

22:42.240 --> 22:44.000
pre-meetings, meetings within meetings,
and whatnot,

22:44.080 --> 22:45.280
I just happened to be included.

22:45.919 --> 22:46.760
How does that make me…?

22:56.399 --> 22:57.679
I guess I really am his man.

22:58.600 --> 23:01.360
So, that means you are too, right?

23:07.520 --> 23:08.399
-Let's go.
-Oh, right!

23:09.000 --> 23:10.720
You used to be just a guard.

23:10.800 --> 23:12.800
Lord Hanfeng helped you
become a physician.

23:13.439 --> 23:15.879
No wonder Tianji never seemed happy
to see you after that.

23:21.439 --> 23:22.360
Yangqiu,

23:24.000 --> 23:27.360
maybe you should learn
to be a bit sharper.

23:30.960 --> 23:34.360
I'll never go near Lord Hanfeng again.

23:35.200 --> 23:36.360
Yan Xiao,

23:36.439 --> 23:38.040
you won't either, right?

23:41.600 --> 23:42.520
Why aren't you saying anything?

23:43.120 --> 23:46.040
When he tried to kill me,
did he give you a signal?

23:46.120 --> 23:47.120
Did he tell you

23:47.800 --> 23:49.040
to kill me?

23:49.120 --> 23:51.120
I'm right this time, aren't I?

23:51.200 --> 23:52.560
We're close like brothers.

23:52.639 --> 23:53.560
He ordered you to kill me.

23:53.639 --> 23:55.480
Isn't that enough to make you
stop working for him?

23:57.800 --> 23:58.720
Did it never occur to you

24:00.679 --> 24:01.879
that I would have killed you?

24:02.480 --> 24:03.919
Of course not.

24:04.000 --> 24:04.879
I know you well.

24:05.600 --> 24:07.639
Lord Hanfeng used to be kind,

24:07.720 --> 24:09.439
but now he's cruel.

24:09.520 --> 24:12.159
Why would you want to keep serving him?

24:12.240 --> 24:13.679
You want to become a physician?

24:13.760 --> 24:15.240
What a joke!

24:17.360 --> 24:18.480
What are you doing?

24:19.560 --> 24:20.520
Lord Hanfeng.

24:21.879 --> 24:23.600
You were all promoted by me.

24:24.320 --> 24:27.159
Is this how you serve His Majesty?

24:27.960 --> 24:29.399
By bullying a colleague?

24:30.080 --> 24:32.120
Our apologies, Lord Hanfeng.

24:33.399 --> 24:34.600
Pick up his books for him.

24:35.360 --> 24:36.399
-Yes.
-Yes.

24:49.320 --> 24:50.480
Remember,

24:51.080 --> 24:53.320
from now on, no one is to bully
Immortal Yan Xiao again.

24:54.120 --> 24:55.040
Understood.

24:59.679 --> 25:00.840
Lord Hanfeng,

25:01.679 --> 25:03.159
you know my name?

25:04.960 --> 25:08.240
I remember the name and background
of every one of the 9,000 members

25:08.320 --> 25:09.360
of Jixing Palace.

25:13.159 --> 25:14.600
Thank you for standing up for me.

25:16.159 --> 25:18.840
Even in your humble position,
you remain diligent.

25:19.760 --> 25:22.040
If all of Jixing Abyss's young ones
were like you,

25:22.120 --> 25:23.919
I would have no worries.

25:24.800 --> 25:28.360
From today onward, you have access
to the Langhuan Pavilion

25:28.439 --> 25:29.639
to study medical texts.

25:30.480 --> 25:33.120
I hope that one day,
you will become a physician.

25:34.840 --> 25:35.879
Lord Hanfeng…

25:39.480 --> 25:43.240
My goal is to make Jixing Abyss
rise above oppression

25:44.240 --> 25:47.960
and for its descendants
to live free from humiliation.

25:50.320 --> 25:53.240
You will be able to walk that upward path,

25:55.720 --> 25:56.720
right?

26:03.600 --> 26:06.560
I won't fail your expectations,
Lord Hanfeng.

26:25.840 --> 26:27.439
Is there a reason
why you have to serve him?

26:32.439 --> 26:34.360
Why must there be a reason?

26:36.159 --> 26:37.159
Yangqiu,

26:38.159 --> 26:39.120
let me tell you the truth.

26:42.040 --> 26:43.840
I chose to serve Lord Hanfeng.

26:44.960 --> 26:46.439
I wanted to climb higher
through his power.

26:50.199 --> 26:51.320
Why are you so surprised?

26:52.600 --> 26:55.720
Meng Yangqiu, you come
from a family of wine immortals.

26:56.360 --> 26:57.760
No matter what happens,

26:57.840 --> 26:59.919
you can still live comfortably
in Jixing Palace as a casual immortal.

27:00.520 --> 27:01.560
But me?

27:05.960 --> 27:07.240
I have no one to rely on.

27:10.360 --> 27:13.240
No one has the right to judge
how I choose to rise.

27:15.639 --> 27:17.600
Only those born to comfort and privilege

27:19.800 --> 27:21.720
can afford to care about dignity.

27:25.600 --> 27:26.679
Let's go.

27:47.080 --> 27:48.000
Let's go.

27:58.960 --> 27:59.919
Yan Xiao,

28:00.600 --> 28:02.960
should I write a letter
of apology to Tianji?

28:16.679 --> 28:17.560
Shao Qun…

28:43.080 --> 28:44.360
Greetings, Lord Hanfeng.

28:45.959 --> 28:47.800
It's time to find an opportunity

28:48.840 --> 28:50.520
for His Majesty to take this.

28:55.840 --> 28:57.720
That won't be necessary, Lord Hanfeng.

28:58.240 --> 29:00.320
His Majesty is old and frail.

29:01.000 --> 29:03.199
Even without intervention,
he will not last long.

29:04.720 --> 29:06.639
This elm was my favorite.

29:07.720 --> 29:09.159
After it withered,

29:09.919 --> 29:12.959
I tried many ways to revive it.

29:16.159 --> 29:18.040
But its roots were too weak.

29:19.439 --> 29:22.000
No matter how carefully I tended to it,

29:23.840 --> 29:25.879
I could not bring it back to life.

29:30.240 --> 29:31.560
So, why not uproot it,

29:33.080 --> 29:34.520
bury it

29:35.240 --> 29:37.560
with those other plants
that can no longer grow,

29:38.199 --> 29:39.720
and turn them into nourishment?

29:41.720 --> 29:45.040
Perhaps then it might live again

29:45.959 --> 29:48.320
and one day grow into a towering tree

29:49.000 --> 29:50.399
that shelters all beneath it.

29:52.120 --> 29:54.240
If you wish to save this elm,

29:54.320 --> 29:56.639
I will return to study my medical texts.

29:57.280 --> 29:59.879
There may still be a cure.

30:04.199 --> 30:06.720
Even with your skill,

30:06.800 --> 30:09.120
you cannot ease the pain I feel right now.

30:10.320 --> 30:11.240
Yan Xiao,

30:12.080 --> 30:14.800
the choice is yours now.

30:16.639 --> 30:20.159
Will you save one person today

30:21.639 --> 30:23.800
or save millions in the future?

30:39.760 --> 30:41.919
Immortal Ji, the netherbeast core
in you keeps leaking.

30:42.520 --> 30:44.600
You must refine it again
as soon as possible.

30:44.679 --> 30:45.840
You forced your way out of seclusion,

30:45.919 --> 30:47.679
and after removing
the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop,

30:47.760 --> 30:49.040
your body has become dangerously weak.

30:49.639 --> 30:51.800
You're now even more vulnerable
to the netherbeasts' temptation.

30:51.879 --> 30:53.879
You must hold fast to your heart

30:53.959 --> 30:55.600
and not let them cloud your mind.

30:55.679 --> 30:59.040
Are you really going to refine us?

30:59.120 --> 31:00.080
Ji Bozai,

31:00.159 --> 31:03.399
I can grant you the greatest power
in the world

31:03.480 --> 31:05.720
and make you the strongest
in all Six Realms!

31:05.800 --> 31:08.480
Join us!

31:52.360 --> 31:54.199
Stay off my bed. You shed.

31:55.480 --> 31:57.480
Ming Yi, you've been suppressing

31:57.560 --> 32:00.480
the aftereffects all this time
in order to save Buxiu.

32:00.560 --> 32:02.240
You are truly tough and heroic.

32:04.280 --> 32:06.480
I'm just lucky Ji Bozai didn't notice.

32:07.080 --> 32:09.679
It actually took me an entire day
to treat the aftereffects.

32:11.280 --> 32:15.080
The more petals this Grief Blossom loses,
the worse it gets, huh?

32:15.919 --> 32:17.240
So, you do realize it.

32:19.360 --> 32:22.360
Ming Yi, we do aim to destroy
the netherbeast army,

32:22.959 --> 32:24.840
but as you see, the situation now is…

32:24.919 --> 32:26.080
I know.

32:26.639 --> 32:28.040
Time is running out.

32:29.000 --> 32:31.360
So, Twenty-Seven, listen carefully.

32:31.439 --> 32:33.000
If something happens to me,

32:33.080 --> 32:35.320
you must sever our master-servant
spiritpact in advance.

32:35.399 --> 32:37.040
At least one of us should survive.

32:37.639 --> 32:38.679
How heartless are you?

32:38.760 --> 32:41.000
I treat you like family,
and you treat me like a stray cat?

32:41.600 --> 32:43.399
I'm just being reasonable here.

32:43.480 --> 32:45.360
Am I wrong to say so?

32:45.959 --> 32:48.080
-I'm only talking about a possibility.
-That won't happen!

33:04.639 --> 33:05.919
His Lordship is in seclusion
refining the netherbeast core.

33:06.520 --> 33:07.879
Before leaving, he gave me a prescription

33:08.719 --> 33:10.560
and told me to gather
the herbs accordingly

33:10.639 --> 33:12.080
and take care of you.

33:13.280 --> 33:14.280
Here.

33:23.080 --> 33:24.639
Wugui Sea is truly busy today.

33:24.719 --> 33:25.959
We have another visitor.

33:50.360 --> 33:52.399
Ming Yi, you used a lot
of spiritual power yesterday.

33:52.480 --> 33:54.080
I brewed this Jade Dew Tonic for you.

33:54.159 --> 33:55.080
It will help.

34:00.439 --> 34:01.919
Thank you, Immortal Situ.

34:06.840 --> 34:08.600
From yesterday until now,

34:08.679 --> 34:11.199
you have helped me twice.

34:11.279 --> 34:13.759
-I really don't know how to repay you.
-If you are willing,

34:15.639 --> 34:17.080
repay me with your hand in marriage.

34:28.239 --> 34:29.560
I'm joking.

34:31.120 --> 34:34.199
I ask nothing in return
for what I do for you.

34:34.279 --> 34:35.759
Immortal Situ, I…

34:35.839 --> 34:37.360
I only hope

34:37.440 --> 34:39.480
that when you someday leave Ji Bozai,

34:41.279 --> 34:42.639
you will remember to come to me.

34:46.400 --> 34:47.279
Immortal Situ,

34:47.360 --> 34:49.759
I'm not the person you think I am.

34:49.839 --> 34:51.239
Even if I were,

34:51.319 --> 34:53.440
you don't need to be so…

34:57.720 --> 34:58.600
Ming Yi,

35:00.600 --> 35:01.880
I once lived

35:02.880 --> 35:04.160
like a walking corpse,

35:05.520 --> 35:07.000
unable to see any hope.

35:08.200 --> 35:09.440
It was because I met you

35:10.680 --> 35:12.480
that I made it this far.

35:14.720 --> 35:15.880
What you have done for me

35:16.560 --> 35:19.520
matters far more than you realize.

35:26.960 --> 35:27.839
Well…

35:36.120 --> 35:37.080
-This…
-May I

35:37.160 --> 35:38.319
keep this hairpin as a memento?

35:38.920 --> 35:40.080
This is my…

36:09.720 --> 36:12.279
Has Your Lordship found
any new leads in Wugui Sea?

36:16.400 --> 36:20.200
Ji Bozai did create a real Spirit Well

36:20.880 --> 36:22.720
and hide the Golden Millet Dream
inside it.

36:24.000 --> 36:26.480
Ming Yi must have married
Ji Bozai because of that,

36:26.560 --> 36:28.839
to form a heart imprint
and share divine consciousness.

36:28.920 --> 36:30.279
So, she also knows
that the Golden Millet Dream

36:30.360 --> 36:31.799
is hidden in the Spirit Well?

36:33.960 --> 36:36.759
She shares divine consciousness
with Ji Bozai,

36:36.839 --> 36:38.600
so why hasn't she

36:38.680 --> 36:41.360
entered the Spirit Well
to take the antidote?

36:42.200 --> 36:44.120
Given how cunning Ji Bozai is,

36:44.720 --> 36:47.160
he must've hidden it somewhere
even more secret.

36:48.720 --> 36:50.319
There is another possibility.

36:51.600 --> 36:55.240
She couldn't bring herself to take it.

36:56.400 --> 36:57.680
Impossible.

36:57.759 --> 36:59.359
Only those who share divine consciousness

36:59.440 --> 37:01.600
can enter each other's Spirit Wells.

37:02.480 --> 37:04.520
Your Lordship cannot reach
the Golden Millet Dream for now.

37:05.200 --> 37:07.920
But that person already discovered
your whereabouts.

37:08.000 --> 37:10.920
For your safety, let me kill him.

37:11.560 --> 37:12.600
He once showed interest in me.

37:13.560 --> 37:15.240
If I offer myself,

37:15.880 --> 37:17.160
he will drop his guard.

37:19.400 --> 37:22.359
Fuyue, I don't need you to go
that far for me.

37:22.440 --> 37:23.839
This is between him and me.

37:23.920 --> 37:25.400
Arrange a meeting with him
for me tomorrow.

37:25.480 --> 37:27.520
Remember, I will go see him myself.

37:29.200 --> 37:30.040
Not you.

37:31.160 --> 37:33.319
You returned empty-handed again

37:34.200 --> 37:36.080
from raiding Wugui Sea.

37:36.880 --> 37:39.000
If Situ Ling hadn't interfered,

37:39.080 --> 37:40.960
everything could've gone
according to plan.

37:41.560 --> 37:43.960
The Situ family
has always been loyal to me.

37:44.040 --> 37:46.000
I don't know what's
with that youngest son of theirs,

37:46.080 --> 37:48.200
but he keeps sabotaging my plans.

37:49.759 --> 37:51.520
-I've sent people to look into it.
-Enough!

37:52.040 --> 37:54.000
How dull are you?

37:54.080 --> 37:57.359
After all this, do you still not realize
whose side Situ Ling is on?

37:59.560 --> 38:00.680
I…

38:03.040 --> 38:04.520
will deal with him myself.

38:06.759 --> 38:07.960
Understood.

38:08.040 --> 38:10.680
Although we didn't succeed this time,

38:10.759 --> 38:13.759
the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
did serious damage to Ji Bozai.

38:14.759 --> 38:17.480
He must be retreating to seclusion now

38:17.560 --> 38:18.600
to refine the netherbeast core again.

38:18.680 --> 38:21.000
If we can find his hiding place,

38:21.080 --> 38:22.000
we can destroy him in one strike.

38:23.400 --> 38:24.960
Do you have a plan?

38:25.040 --> 38:26.279
I do have one.

38:28.640 --> 38:31.359
You know too little about Ji Bozai,

38:31.440 --> 38:32.680
which is why you keep making mistakes.

38:34.480 --> 38:36.160
Please instruct me, Your Lordship.

38:37.640 --> 38:39.720
Ji Bozai was gravely wounded yesterday.

38:40.359 --> 38:42.720
His companion beast should not
have been able to counterattack.

38:43.400 --> 38:45.920
Yet his silver dragon defeated you all.

38:47.160 --> 38:48.279
Do you know why?

38:50.080 --> 38:51.560
Yesterday at your mansion,

38:51.640 --> 38:53.600
I saw a woman with spiritual veins.

38:54.200 --> 38:55.880
She was the one who beat you.

38:57.799 --> 38:59.160
Ming Yi?

39:02.040 --> 39:03.920
As I recall,

39:04.000 --> 39:07.640
you know a soul-seizing technique

39:08.240 --> 39:10.720
that can shatter a person's guard

39:11.359 --> 39:12.319
and force them to tell the truth.

39:14.440 --> 39:15.560
You know what to do, right?

39:17.359 --> 39:20.640
Tomorrow, make sure you draw Ji Bozai out.

39:27.520 --> 39:28.839
SILK SHOP

39:28.920 --> 39:30.759
-Flowers!
-Come quickly!

39:30.839 --> 39:32.359
Take a look, miss.

39:32.440 --> 39:33.400
I like this one.

39:33.480 --> 39:34.319
-Take this one, then.
-All right.

39:34.400 --> 39:35.759
Flowers! Have a look!

39:35.839 --> 39:37.839
-I'll take this one.
-Flowers!

39:37.920 --> 39:39.319
-Sure.
-Here.

39:39.400 --> 39:41.040
Thank you. Come back again.

40:11.680 --> 40:13.400
I never expected a mere dancer like you

40:14.000 --> 40:15.560
to be so defiant.

40:16.440 --> 40:19.480
I only want you to casually
lure Ming Yi over.

40:20.080 --> 40:21.799
It's a simple thing.

40:21.880 --> 40:23.880
Why make yourself suffer so much?

40:25.839 --> 40:27.080
In your dreams.

40:47.960 --> 40:49.480
Give it back to me!

40:50.359 --> 40:51.600
Give it back!

40:53.400 --> 40:55.120
What are you doing?

40:59.120 --> 41:00.040
Lord Hanfeng.

41:11.359 --> 41:14.279
When Situ Ling came by yesterday,
what did he say to you?

41:15.040 --> 41:17.759
He said to remember to come to him
if I left Ji Bozai.

41:21.560 --> 41:23.000
-Twenty-Seven!
-No way.

41:23.080 --> 41:25.799
That was a plain love confession!

41:27.600 --> 41:30.920
How could you just say that so calmly?

41:31.000 --> 41:31.880
It's not like that.

41:31.960 --> 41:33.920
He used to be bullied
by his older brothers.

41:34.000 --> 41:37.040
I took him to the Qingyun Tournament
to cheer him up.

41:37.120 --> 41:39.359
He's probably just grateful to me.

41:39.960 --> 41:41.040
If you ask me,

41:41.120 --> 41:45.560
he's just confusing gratitude
with affection.

41:45.640 --> 41:48.040
He will understand in a few years.

41:48.120 --> 41:50.720
Didn't you tell him you weren't Ming Xian?

41:50.799 --> 41:51.960
Yet he keeps helping you

41:52.040 --> 41:54.640
again and again.

41:54.720 --> 41:56.640
He's a stubborn kid.

41:56.720 --> 41:58.720
What if he can't move on?

42:00.080 --> 42:01.640
Then I…

42:06.920 --> 42:08.960
"Need to discuss something with you.
Zhang Tai."

42:11.520 --> 42:12.400
Fuyue…

42:12.480 --> 42:13.319
MOONLIT BLOSSOMS

42:13.400 --> 42:15.279
…get people to get Chao Yu drunk,

42:15.359 --> 42:16.839
and I will handle the rest.

42:52.880 --> 42:54.240
My dear brother,

42:54.319 --> 42:55.920
you don't really think

42:56.640 --> 42:58.839
luring me here

42:58.920 --> 43:00.960
with the Golden Millet Dream's whereabouts

43:01.560 --> 43:04.279
gives you a chance to kill me, do you?

43:04.359 --> 43:06.359
In your dreams!

43:07.240 --> 43:10.040
Just like your lowborn mother,

43:10.120 --> 43:13.040
you don't deserve to live
in this world at all.

43:18.040 --> 43:19.640
"All is proceeding as planned.

43:19.720 --> 43:21.279
We await Your Lordship.

43:21.359 --> 43:23.000
Respectfully, Lord Hanfeng."

43:27.600 --> 43:30.160
Do you remember

43:30.240 --> 43:33.600
the day you stood against me with Ming Yi?

43:34.200 --> 43:36.080
One look,

43:36.160 --> 43:38.240
and I knew you liked her.

43:39.120 --> 43:40.879
Useless fool,

43:40.960 --> 43:43.120
you actually fell for a married woman?

43:43.720 --> 43:45.640
I will show you

43:45.720 --> 43:50.000
what will happen to the woman you love.

43:51.120 --> 43:52.200
Chao Yu,

43:53.400 --> 43:54.640
what are you going to do?

43:55.240 --> 43:56.120
If you lay a finger on her…

44:01.319 --> 44:03.960
Just wait and see.
on her…
