00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.960 align:center
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:58.679 align:center
Your Lordship!

00:01:58.759 --> 00:01:59.640 align:center
Your Lordship.

00:02:01.199 --> 00:02:02.800 align:center
What is this?

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:04.119 align:center
What happened?

00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:07.880 align:center
I killed him.

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:09.840 align:center
What?

00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:14.720 align:center
I killed him.

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.880 align:center
Your Lordship,
even if you wish to help Ming Yi,

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:22.200 align:center
you must look after yourself.

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:30.320 align:center
I'm fine, Fuyue.

00:02:31.359 --> 00:02:34.200 align:center
Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine.

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.160 align:center
Come on.

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:40.920 align:center
Your Lordship,

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.320 align:center
you've opposed Mu Qibai
time and again for Ming Yi's sake.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.400 align:center
I fear you've already
become a thorn in his side.

00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:50.799 align:center
Mu Qibai has more than one enemy.

00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:55.040 align:center
The enemy of my enemy is a friend.

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.079 align:center
Since that's the case,

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.120 align:center
I'll lend this friend a hand.

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:25.280 align:center
The Judgment Hall reports
that you abducted Fairy Ming Yi

00:03:25.359 --> 00:03:27.040 align:center
and even carried out a private punishment.

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.200 align:center
Is that true?

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.640 align:center
Through investigation, I discovered
that Ming Yi carried spiritual veins,

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:34.239 align:center
and Ji Bozai concealed and sheltered her,

00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:36.720 align:center
so, naturally,
I had to get to the bottom of it.

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:39.040 align:center
It's true she has spiritual veins,

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:42.239 align:center
but the one who covered
up for her wasn't Ji Bozai.

00:03:42.320 --> 00:03:43.160 align:center
It was me.

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.880 align:center
I've long intended for her
to serve at Shouhua Academy.

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:46.880 align:center
Absurd!

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:51.079 align:center
A fairy born
with spiritual veins is a jinx,

00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:53.560 align:center
yet you want to bring her
into Shouhua Academy?

00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:56.760 align:center
Such a foolish rule
should have been broken long ago.

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:01.560 align:center
Soon, as the Venerable
of Shouhua Academy, I will decree

00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:04.519 align:center
that all women within Jixing Abyss
who bear spiritual veins

00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.040 align:center
need not hide any longer

00:04:06.119 --> 00:04:07.720 align:center
and may compete to be warriors.

00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:12.480 align:center
Uncle, instead of worrying
about such a trivial matter,

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.399 align:center
perhaps you should explain

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:18.360 align:center
why a charred corpse found in this case

00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:21.120 align:center
came from Zhushui Spiritual State.

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:24.320 align:center
He's dead?

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:25.880 align:center
Who

00:04:27.159 --> 00:04:28.200 align:center
was he?

00:04:29.760 --> 00:04:32.880 align:center
Whoever he was,
it's not your place to question me.

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:39.080 align:center
Then never mind… the corpse.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.800 align:center
But think about this, Uncle.

00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:46.440 align:center
Why did the Judgment Hall
report this matter to me so quickly today?

00:04:48.760 --> 00:04:50.039 align:center
Uncle,

00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:56.919 align:center
Jixing Abyss
is no longer yours to control alone.

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:14.719 align:center
Uncle Qibai is growing ever more brazen,

00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:17.240 align:center
even consorting with people
from Zhushui Spiritual State.

00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:21.360 align:center
Your Highness, what should we do next?

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:25.479 align:center
Now that the Judgment Hall
no longer obeys Lord Hanfeng,

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.880 align:center
can we not accuse him directly?

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:34.440 align:center
Though he is no longer what he once was,
it's still not easy to bring him down.

00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:37.840 align:center
We must awaken my father,

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.320 align:center
no matter

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:44.919 align:center
what it takes.

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.880 align:center
You really don't understand your master.

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:54.240 align:center
He'd never turn his back on Ming Yi.

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:55.640 align:center
You're so loud.

00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:58.960 align:center
Last night, His Lordship
took your master's fiancée

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:00.520 align:center
to the hot springs to heal and keep warm.

00:06:00.599 --> 00:06:03.520 align:center
Instead of gossiping here,
you'd better keep an eye out

00:06:03.599 --> 00:06:05.880 align:center
before your master
ends up getting cheated on.

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:09.359 align:center
I can't be bothered.
It's not me who'll get cheated on.

00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:19.080 align:center
Th-Thanks.

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.280 align:center
You may dislike us most of the time,

00:06:22.359 --> 00:06:25.320 align:center
but knowing the danger, you went with me
to Dragon Carp Terrace to rescue them.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.280 align:center
You're actually a decent person,

00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:30.840 align:center
loyal when it counts.

00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:35.799 align:center
If you had gone alone and been caught,

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:38.200 align:center
you might not have withstood the torture
and revealed secrets about Wugui Sea.

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:40.960 align:center
That would've brought
real trouble upon His Lordship.

00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.080 align:center
Besides, when His Lordship was struck
by the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop,

00:06:43.159 --> 00:06:44.560 align:center
Fairy Ming Yi helped us.

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.280 align:center
So, by that reckoning, I owe her one.

00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:52.400 align:center
Then by your logic,
since you helped me beat Sun Liao,

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:54.200 align:center
I owe you a favor too.

00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:55.919 align:center
-No need…
-How about this?

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.560 align:center
I'll grant you three wishes.

00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:01.479 align:center
No need. Don't make a big deal out of it.

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.960 align:center
Tell you what. For the first wish,
I'll go fishing with you.

00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:12.359 align:center
Sounds like you're the one
who wants to fish.

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:15.280 align:center
And don't you dare
steal my dried fish again.

00:07:15.880 --> 00:07:18.440 align:center
Fine. That counts as the second wish.

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:20.000 align:center
What?

00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:25.640 align:center
Very well.
Then you'll buy the fishing rods.

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.080 align:center
I just sent a message to Master She,

00:07:57.159 --> 00:07:59.679 align:center
asking him to study
the Soul-seizing Technique

00:07:59.760 --> 00:08:01.159 align:center
to see if it can suppress
the Heavenly Grief,

00:08:02.039 --> 00:08:03.280 align:center
since you used your spiritual veins

00:08:03.359 --> 00:08:04.880 align:center
but didn't suffer
any aftereffects this time.

00:08:06.239 --> 00:08:08.479 align:center
Thank you for worrying about me.

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.359 align:center
Why are you being so polite? You…

00:08:13.640 --> 00:08:14.919 align:center
What's wrong?

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.280 align:center
Ming Yi, no matter how much you like him,

00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:24.560 align:center
stay focused on what truly matters.

00:08:25.359 --> 00:08:27.239 align:center
You have only one life.

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:28.919 align:center
True.

00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:31.640 align:center
If one dies,

00:08:31.719 --> 00:08:33.880 align:center
any amount of love won't matter.

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.400 align:center
When I finally steal
the Golden Millet Dream,

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.919 align:center
he'll think I've been
lying to him all along

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.000 align:center
and will hate me for it.

00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:48.120 align:center
And everything will be over.

00:08:52.199 --> 00:08:54.360 align:center
He's always been cold and decisive.

00:08:55.319 --> 00:08:57.280 align:center
It won't take long for him to get over me.

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:06.760 align:center
It won't.

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.480 align:center
Master.

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.000 align:center
After everything that's happened,

00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:05.959 align:center
I find myself no longer concerned
about her past.

00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:11.959 align:center
Her true identity no longer matters to me.

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.400 align:center
As long as I know

00:10:15.640 --> 00:10:17.280 align:center
she truly cares about me,

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.439 align:center
that is enough.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.760 align:center
Whatever the future holds,

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:26.120 align:center
I trust her.

00:10:55.880 --> 00:10:57.920 align:center
Your Lordship, though you've refined
the netherbeast core successfully,

00:10:58.719 --> 00:11:01.040 align:center
your body is also weakened by it.

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.920 align:center
Please take care of yourself.

00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:18.480 align:center
Don't worry. I know my limits.

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:25.360 align:center
Sun Liao, Jixing Abyss
had no chance in the first place.

00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:31.240 align:center
If not for the miasma of the Sunken Abyss
perfect for breeding netherbeasts,

00:11:31.319 --> 00:11:34.000 align:center
Father would never have entrusted
such an important task to Lord Hanfeng.

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:38.040 align:center
Now, the netherbeast army is gone,

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:42.880 align:center
and my elder brother has died
so strangely in Jixing Abyss.

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:47.199 align:center
How am I supposed
to explain this to Father?

00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:49.560 align:center
Your Lordship…

00:11:50.079 --> 00:11:52.560 align:center
Please, I beg you
to keep this matter secret!

00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:54.760 align:center
Look, your father has so many sons.

00:11:55.640 --> 00:11:58.640 align:center
If they all stay alive,
how could he ever value you?

00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:01.160 align:center
Don't you think so?

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.439 align:center
In our realm, brothers
and friends respect each other.

00:12:07.520 --> 00:12:09.520 align:center
But lowlifes like you
have corrupted our relationship.

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:13.160 align:center
Anyway, since the netherbeasts
have already been refined by Ji Bozai,

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.240 align:center
it's time for your realm to fall.

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.040 align:center
Let's start with you.

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.959 align:center
Your Lordship, spare me!

00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:28.959 align:center
Please spare me!

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:33.439 align:center
In fact, Lord Hanfeng
still has a trick up his sleeve.

00:12:33.520 --> 00:12:36.439 align:center
He's secretly kept
an unformed netherbeast.

00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:46.959 align:center
Chao Yu hasn't returned
to Zhushui for so long,

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:49.079 align:center
so Father sent me
to check on the situation.

00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:51.839 align:center
But who would've thought?

00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:53.199 align:center
Chao Yu actually died.

00:13:00.719 --> 00:13:02.079 align:center
What is this awful tea?

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.520 align:center
Anyway, this is a simple matter.

00:13:08.599 --> 00:13:12.959 align:center
I can just go back and say
that to form a netherbeast army,

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:16.560 align:center
my elder brother unexpectedly
exhausted his spiritual power

00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:19.160 align:center
and decided to make
the ultimate sacrifice.

00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:20.760 align:center
Touching, isn't it?

00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.800 align:center
This will make a great story to tell!

00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:27.120 align:center
It will also solve a big problem for you.

00:13:29.959 --> 00:13:34.240 align:center
I appreciate your kindness, Your Lordship,
but I'm afraid I don't understand.

00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:36.839 align:center
The netherbeasts
have been refined by Ji Bozai

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:38.199 align:center
and disappeared from the world.

00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:39.560 align:center
How can we come up

00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:41.839 align:center
with a satisfying explanation
to your father?

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:43.280 align:center
Even now,

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:46.319 align:center
you are still lying.

00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:50.079 align:center
Sun Liao already confessed.

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.079 align:center
Listen carefully.

00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:58.880 align:center
Hand over the netherbeast you've hidden.

00:13:58.959 --> 00:14:02.959 align:center
Only then can I cover for you
in front of Father.

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.640 align:center
Your Lordship, you listen carefully.

00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:15.599 align:center
The beast is in my hands.

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:19.040 align:center
If you want my help,
you should say "please".

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:21.160 align:center
"Please"?

00:14:24.640 --> 00:14:27.199 align:center
-You…!
-Do you even know how to use

00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:28.400 align:center
what I have?

00:14:31.439 --> 00:14:33.439 align:center
If you cooperate with me

00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:37.240 align:center
and pin everything on that mute corpse,

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.280 align:center
once my great cause is accomplished,

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:46.760 align:center
everything in Jixing Abyss
will be credited to you.

00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:56.120 align:center
Then you'd better hurry.
Father doesn't have my patience.

00:14:57.599 --> 00:14:58.839 align:center
Where's the "please"?

00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:06.319 align:center
Please hurry.

00:15:11.839 --> 00:15:14.079 align:center
Ming Yi, how are you feeling now?

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.439 align:center
I'm fine. Thank you
for your concern, Immortal Situ.

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.680 align:center
But I'm curious.

00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:24.360 align:center
How did you know about it so quickly?

00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:26.920 align:center
Even Princess Tianji and the others came.

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.520 align:center
I just regret I couldn't come sooner.

00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:35.760 align:center
By the barrier, they found
a body that couldn't be identified.

00:15:35.839 --> 00:15:37.520 align:center
The Judgment Hall has examined it,

00:15:38.319 --> 00:15:40.839 align:center
but we still can't confirm its identity.

00:15:44.439 --> 00:15:47.920 align:center
Was there a wound
on the wrist of that body?

00:15:48.640 --> 00:15:50.599 align:center
I didn't see the person's face,

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:54.479 align:center
but I saw a cut on his wrist.

00:15:55.640 --> 00:15:58.120 align:center
Yes, there was indeed.

00:15:58.199 --> 00:15:59.359 align:center
Right?

00:15:59.880 --> 00:16:04.599 align:center
But I heard the body was burned
into a charred skeleton by magic.

00:16:04.680 --> 00:16:08.280 align:center
Immortal Situ, how could you tell
there was a wound on his wrist?

00:16:10.959 --> 00:16:12.319 align:center
Perhaps…

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.400 align:center
Ming Yi,

00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:40.359 align:center
if I didn't kill him,

00:16:42.599 --> 00:16:44.359 align:center
he would've killed you.

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.440 align:center
She cares about me after all.

00:17:19.879 --> 00:17:21.919 align:center
NOTICE: THE SOUL-HIDING NAIL LAW FOR WOMEN
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED IN JIXING ABYSS

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.919 align:center
From now on, women
with spiritual veins in Jixing Abyss

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.159 align:center
don't need to have
Soul-hiding Nails anymore!

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.240 align:center
That's great! Does this mean
there will be female warriors?

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.720 align:center
The Princess did a great thing!

00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:33.320 align:center
-Madam, I'll take this one.
-All right. Thank you.

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:40.159 align:center
Zhang Tai, you were gravely injured.

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.879 align:center
Are you really okay now?

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.120 align:center
Don't worry.
Princess Tianji treated my wounds.

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.600 align:center
You also had your young friend,
Twenty-Seven, send me medicine,

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.720 align:center
and I took it.

00:17:48.800 --> 00:17:51.480 align:center
I've never felt better.

00:17:51.560 --> 00:17:52.760 align:center
Don't worry about me.

00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:55.440 align:center
-Madam, I'll take this too.
-Sure.

00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.159 align:center
-It was all my fault.
-Thank you.

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.560 align:center
If something serious
had happened to you, I really…

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.639 align:center
Don't say that.

00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:07.399 align:center
By the way, did you notice
anything different about me today?

00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:13.240 align:center
You've applied red blush
and painted your eyebrows dark green.

00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:15.639 align:center
No, it's not that.

00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.120 align:center
Look, I can use spiritual veins now!

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.120 align:center
After I got injured,
Princess Tianji's people treated me,

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.600 align:center
and they discovered my Soul-hiding Nail.

00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:27.960 align:center
They asked if I wanted it removed,
and, of course, I said yes.

00:18:28.040 --> 00:18:31.280 align:center
So now, I also have spiritual veins!

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:34.760 align:center
Although I can't break through
to a higher stage,

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:36.560 align:center
my cultivation has still improved a lot.

00:18:37.159 --> 00:18:39.600 align:center
In the future, making hairpins
will be much easier for me.

00:18:40.280 --> 00:18:42.800 align:center
It must've hurt a lot
to remove the nail, right?

00:18:44.159 --> 00:18:46.679 align:center
At least now you can do what you love.

00:18:48.760 --> 00:18:50.840 align:center
All right, you've seen me.

00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:52.280 align:center
Now hurry back.

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:54.280 align:center
Immortal Ji has been waiting
for you for so long.

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:02.240 align:center
What's going on between you two?

00:19:03.159 --> 00:19:05.040 align:center
Oh, please don't ask.

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:07.280 align:center
I don't want to lie to you,
but I can't tell you either.

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:08.360 align:center
I…

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.200 align:center
Actually, I've known for a long time
that you have many secrets.

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:12.159 align:center
I don't want to ask about them,

00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:16.720 align:center
but I can tell
Immortal Ji really likes you

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.919 align:center
and treats you well.

00:19:20.639 --> 00:19:23.879 align:center
Of course, that doesn't matter.
What matters is how you feel.

00:19:24.879 --> 00:19:28.440 align:center
You like him too, don't you?

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:33.720 align:center
Yes.

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.000 align:center
Despite everything, I've fallen for him.

00:19:39.679 --> 00:19:41.520 align:center
But it won't last.

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.960 align:center
But Ming Yi, you know what?

00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:47.600 align:center
In this world,
moments of happiness are rare.

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:49.800 align:center
You may part ways in the future,

00:19:49.879 --> 00:19:53.080 align:center
but you still feel overjoyed
to see him now, don't you?

00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:57.919 align:center
Madam, please wrap this up for me.

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.879 align:center
Sure.

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.520 align:center
It seems you're unwilling to do it.

00:21:04.879 --> 00:21:07.159 align:center
No worries. I won't force you.

00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:12.480 align:center
After all, even if you don't do it,
I have other ways to get it done.

00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:17.679 align:center
But once it's done,

00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:21.360 align:center
I will still tell everyone
that you did it.

00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:25.320 align:center
You must be joking, Lord Hanfeng.

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.720 align:center
I am but a humble physician
with little skill.

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:32.480 align:center
If you spread such a story,
no one will believe it.

00:21:34.280 --> 00:21:35.760 align:center
How could that be?

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:38.520 align:center
That's exactly what makes it believable.

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:40.879 align:center
You, a humble physician

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.720 align:center
with little skill,
chose to serve me for your own good.

00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:45.840 align:center
Then one day,

00:21:45.919 --> 00:21:49.159 align:center
you made your move against
the Emperor to pledge your loyalty.

00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:52.879 align:center
Doesn't that sound reasonable?

00:21:55.560 --> 00:21:58.280 align:center
Since you'll end up the culprit anyway,

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:05.040 align:center
why not just do it
and take full credit for it?

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.200 align:center
Immortal Yan,
the Princess wants to see you.

00:23:46.439 --> 00:23:48.720 align:center
JADE RABBIT HALL

00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:52.120 align:center
Immortal Yan, please go over there.

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:18.520 align:center
SERENE BEYOND

00:24:56.040 --> 00:24:56.919 align:center
Your Highness.

00:25:00.679 --> 00:25:03.360 align:center
Your Highness,
why have you called for me today?

00:25:03.879 --> 00:25:06.439 align:center
I'm feeling unwell,

00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:10.199 align:center
so I want you to check on me.

00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:11.960 align:center
You look fine.

00:25:12.560 --> 00:25:13.720 align:center
How could you be unwell?

00:25:14.360 --> 00:25:15.560 align:center
I had a nightmare.

00:25:16.560 --> 00:25:18.320 align:center
I dreamt that you killed my father,

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.120 align:center
and it left me unsettled.

00:25:38.080 --> 00:25:39.439 align:center
Your pulse is rapid and tense.

00:25:39.520 --> 00:25:41.159 align:center
I don't think the nightmare caused it.

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.879 align:center
It's more like you are…

00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:47.080 align:center
nervous.

00:25:50.040 --> 00:25:51.679 align:center
Why would I be nervous?

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.480 align:center
I think you are the one who's nervous.

00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:14.159 align:center
Did Your Highness
summon me just to tease me?

00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:17.199 align:center
You may leave now.

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:28.879 align:center
Father!

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.480 align:center
Your Highness, give it back to me.

00:26:42.560 --> 00:26:44.480 align:center
What do you mean?

00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:45.720 align:center
I don't understand.

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:49.879 align:center
You can play dumb now,
but I will report to Lord Hanfeng

00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:53.800 align:center
and sabotage whatever you plan to do.

00:27:01.199 --> 00:27:03.280 align:center
Then go ahead and tell my uncle.

00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:05.520 align:center
I will say

00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:08.520 align:center
that you gave it to me willingly.

00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:11.040 align:center
Take a guess.

00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:15.919 align:center
With you leaving
my Jade Rabbit Hall at midnight

00:27:16.800 --> 00:27:17.879 align:center
and me

00:27:20.199 --> 00:27:21.520 align:center
looking so disheveled,

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:24.560 align:center
who will he believe?

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.360 align:center
Your Highness,

00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:36.760 align:center
do you know what you're doing?

00:27:39.520 --> 00:27:41.120 align:center
Do you think I'm too afraid to act?

00:27:51.080 --> 00:27:53.159 align:center
I just miss my father too much.

00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:56.280 align:center
What's wrong with that?

00:27:57.879 --> 00:27:59.720 align:center
I will return it to you.

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:02.320 align:center
No one will know what happened.

00:28:05.879 --> 00:28:07.800 align:center
Just help me this once.

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:12.080 align:center
Just once.

00:28:12.760 --> 00:28:15.000 align:center
Please, Xiao?

00:28:19.879 --> 00:28:20.879 align:center
Why?

00:28:21.399 --> 00:28:23.679 align:center
Why are you doing this? I trusted you!

00:28:25.399 --> 00:28:26.360 align:center
You know full well

00:28:26.439 --> 00:28:30.240 align:center
that Uncle Qibai caused
my father's unconsciousness.

00:28:31.399 --> 00:28:34.560 align:center
He only assigned you
to monitor my father's condition

00:28:34.639 --> 00:28:38.120 align:center
so you could keep him unconscious!

00:28:41.040 --> 00:28:42.600 align:center
I know

00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:46.959 align:center
most of Jixing Abyss
now follows Uncle Qibai's orders

00:28:47.040 --> 00:28:50.600 align:center
because he can offer them
a path to power and keep them safe.

00:28:50.679 --> 00:28:51.800 align:center
But that's their choice.

00:28:51.879 --> 00:28:54.639 align:center
I don't care about what they choose.

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.159 align:center
But you can't do this to me.

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.280 align:center
Why are you doing this?
You can't do this to me!

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:11.120 align:center
Fine. I'll only ask one thing of you.

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.720 align:center
Sooner or later,
Uncle Qibai will take my father's life.

00:29:16.959 --> 00:29:18.480 align:center
When that day comes,

00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:21.480 align:center
please help me keep my father alive.

00:29:21.560 --> 00:29:23.959 align:center
Will you do it for me?

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.879 align:center
I'm begging you, Xiao.

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:34.439 align:center
Your Highness, you've overestimated me.

00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:37.720 align:center
Yes, Lord Hanfeng made me
His Majesty's physician,

00:29:38.520 --> 00:29:40.520 align:center
but if he wants His Majesty dead,

00:29:41.560 --> 00:29:45.280 align:center
what right do I have to oppose his will?

00:29:53.280 --> 00:29:55.399 align:center
I never thought

00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:59.360 align:center
you'd be

00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:04.199 align:center
so despicable and shameless,

00:30:06.679 --> 00:30:08.720 align:center
only following the wind to gain favor.

00:30:10.959 --> 00:30:12.879 align:center
You're truly pathetic.

00:30:38.959 --> 00:30:40.240 align:center
I don't know anything.

00:30:41.639 --> 00:30:42.840 align:center
I never came here.

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.399 align:center
GRANNY'S EATERY

00:31:28.080 --> 00:31:29.320 align:center
It's ready. It smells great.

00:31:29.399 --> 00:31:31.800 align:center
Here, Wheat,
take it to the table over there.

00:31:37.879 --> 00:31:40.159 align:center
Sir, here's your scallion pancake.

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.399 align:center
Please enjoy.

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:43.840 align:center
He's all you can see, huh?

00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:45.840 align:center
Madam.

00:31:46.439 --> 00:31:47.600 align:center
You've grown taller.

00:31:48.159 --> 00:31:49.719 align:center
Go on. Go back to work.

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.800 align:center
Since you refined the netherbeast core,
Mu Qibai has been lying low.

00:32:08.879 --> 00:32:11.919 align:center
-I suspect he's up to something.
-Be patient.

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.320 align:center
He's in the shadows,
but we're not necessarily in the light.

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:16.439 align:center
I've had Buxiu keep an eye on Mu Qibai.

00:32:16.520 --> 00:32:18.760 align:center
We'll find out
what he's up to sooner or later.

00:32:31.040 --> 00:32:34.679 align:center
You said you brought me here
to discuss matters,

00:32:34.760 --> 00:32:37.560 align:center
but I feel like it's just an excuse.

00:32:39.560 --> 00:32:40.600 align:center
Really?

00:32:42.679 --> 00:32:43.719 align:center
In fact,

00:32:44.760 --> 00:32:48.520 align:center
that night, I was under the influence
of the Soul-seizing Technique.

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.760 align:center
That's why I said things I shouldn't have.

00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:51.399 align:center
Shouldn't we talk about serious matters?

00:32:51.919 --> 00:32:53.639 align:center
Otherwise, it'll seem like
I'm really after something else.

00:33:35.399 --> 00:33:37.760 align:center
Father, you're awake.

00:33:44.120 --> 00:33:45.679 align:center
Why have you lost weight?

00:33:47.159 --> 00:33:48.159 align:center
In my dreams,

00:33:49.560 --> 00:33:52.800 align:center
I kept catching you stealing candy.

00:33:58.919 --> 00:33:59.919 align:center
That's not true.

00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.319 align:center
Lord Ji, you suffered greatly
refining the netherbeast core.

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:18.319 align:center
The netherbeasts must
have undermined your will, right?

00:34:27.839 --> 00:34:32.799 align:center
They had been trying to tempt me
into accepting their power.

00:34:34.080 --> 00:34:37.400 align:center
The netherbeasts are indeed tempting.

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.480 align:center
Whether it's Mu Qibai or the other realms,

00:34:39.560 --> 00:34:41.759 align:center
none would willingly give up that power.

00:34:42.839 --> 00:34:44.799 align:center
Without a strong will,

00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.719 align:center
one would surely be corrupted
by the netherbeast core.

00:34:47.799 --> 00:34:49.120 align:center
Luckily, it was you.

00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:54.440 align:center
Luckily, it was me?

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:56.880 align:center
Do you trust me that much?

00:35:03.279 --> 00:35:05.360 align:center
Immortal Ji, His Majesty summons you.

00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:19.759 align:center
BENEVOLENCE, KINDNESS
WISDOM AND PROPRIETY

00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:28.120 align:center
Greetings, Your Majesty.

00:35:33.040 --> 00:35:36.720 align:center
You don't seem surprised
to have been summoned so suddenly.

00:35:37.799 --> 00:35:41.400 align:center
Of course not.
I've been waiting for this day.

00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:47.960 align:center
Tianji somehow cured
the illness that afflicted me.

00:35:48.040 --> 00:35:50.520 align:center
Her Highness must have sensed the danger

00:35:51.839 --> 00:35:53.319 align:center
and feared Your Majesty might be harmed.

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.960 align:center
Harmed?

00:35:58.319 --> 00:35:59.600 align:center
Are you talking about Lord Hanfeng?

00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:02.080 align:center
While Your Majesty lay unconscious,

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.200 align:center
Lord Hanfeng's intentions
became clear to all.

00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:09.839 align:center
Your Majesty, you must've heard
I refined the netherbeast core

00:36:10.759 --> 00:36:13.520 align:center
and sensed Lord Hanfeng's moves.

00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:17.920 align:center
Do you now see how urgent it is

00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:19.960 align:center
to root out these hidden dangers?

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:25.960 align:center
I beg you to be resolute.

00:36:38.200 --> 00:36:41.400 align:center
Bai is my only brother.

00:36:42.279 --> 00:36:44.640 align:center
Of course, I know what he wants.

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:48.640 align:center
He's impatient and often plots against me.

00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.200 align:center
He even sent a physician
to keep watch over me.

00:36:52.279 --> 00:36:54.400 align:center
I know very well what he's been up to.

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.400 align:center
But when I remember

00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.400 align:center
how naive and innocent
this younger brother of mine once was,

00:37:00.319 --> 00:37:02.000 align:center
I can't bring myself to be harsh.

00:37:02.799 --> 00:37:05.600 align:center
But never… Never did I expect…

00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:07.839 align:center
Never did you expect him
to be so driven by greed,

00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:10.480 align:center
colluding with Zhushui Spiritual State,

00:37:10.560 --> 00:37:12.040 align:center
breeding netherbeasts,

00:37:12.120 --> 00:37:14.240 align:center
and endangering the Six Realms.

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.160 align:center
You have done much for Jixing Abyss,
and I'm deeply grateful.

00:37:20.240 --> 00:37:22.440 align:center
But the netherbeast army
was a direct threat

00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:24.040 align:center
to the Six Realms.

00:37:24.120 --> 00:37:26.839 align:center
Yet you handled it alone
and did not report it.

00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:28.920 align:center
Think of the consequences.

00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:32.560 align:center
Half of Jixing Abyss follows Lord Hanfeng.

00:37:32.640 --> 00:37:35.120 align:center
Immortal Ji was only trying
to prevent news from leaking.

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:40.359 align:center
Besides, it was precisely because
you once let Uncle Qibai grow strong

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:41.920 align:center
that we are in this crisis now.

00:37:42.640 --> 00:37:44.720 align:center
Under these circumstances,
it was only natural

00:37:44.799 --> 00:37:46.000 align:center
that Immortal Ji found
Jixing Palace hard to trust.

00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:51.359 align:center
I swore as a child
to do everything I could

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.160 align:center
to stop Uncle Qibai
from harming you again.

00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:56.120 align:center
Now, no one knows what he will do next.

00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:58.160 align:center
So,

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:01.680 align:center
no matter how reluctant you feel,

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:04.279 align:center
I ask you

00:38:05.759 --> 00:38:08.839 align:center
to put Jixing Abyss first
and seize Uncle Qibai at once.

00:38:14.799 --> 00:38:16.600 align:center
Immortal Ji, I'd also like to ask you

00:38:17.359 --> 00:38:21.359 align:center
to trust us once more
and join us in protecting Jixing Abyss.

00:38:24.279 --> 00:38:26.440 align:center
Jixing Palace is indeed hard to trust,

00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:32.720 align:center
but not all who hold power
are slaves to it.

00:38:34.080 --> 00:38:37.920 align:center
For the sake of the Six Realms,
I'm willing to unite as many as I can.

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.240 align:center
But Mu Qibai
has Zhushui Spiritual State behind him.

00:38:41.319 --> 00:38:44.440 align:center
Alone, we can hardly rival them.

00:38:46.200 --> 00:38:49.720 align:center
Please, Your Majesty,
think about the people of Jixing Abyss

00:38:49.799 --> 00:38:50.920 align:center
and order Mu Qibai's arrest.

00:38:52.319 --> 00:38:55.080 align:center
Please, Father, arrest him at once.

00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.960 align:center
EMBRACE ALL SUMMITS AND SEAS

00:39:19.520 --> 00:39:22.960 align:center
Yuanfeng, you haven't fully recovered.
You should be resting.

00:39:23.640 --> 00:39:26.560 align:center
If there's anything you need,
just have someone send word for you.

00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:30.240 align:center
I've been hearing
many disturbing rumors lately.

00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.440 align:center
Most of them are about you.

00:39:33.040 --> 00:39:35.120 align:center
Now that my condition has improved,

00:39:35.759 --> 00:39:39.120 align:center
I'd like to hear
the truth from you directly.

00:39:40.319 --> 00:39:41.160 align:center
What rumors?

00:39:41.759 --> 00:39:46.560 align:center
I'm being subtle
because you are my blood brother.

00:39:48.600 --> 00:39:51.560 align:center
But if you still won't confess
to forming a netherbeast army,

00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.279 align:center
I will have no choice but to take action.

00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:57.240 align:center
Who made up these rumors?

00:39:57.319 --> 00:39:59.240 align:center
They're pure fabrications, nonsense!

00:40:00.160 --> 00:40:03.359 align:center
Yuanfeng, are you going
to believe outsiders

00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:04.759 align:center
over your own brother?

00:40:05.359 --> 00:40:06.440 align:center
Qibai,

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.680 align:center
when did you become like this?

00:40:17.560 --> 00:40:18.400 align:center
Like what?

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.759 align:center
You've been fragile since childhood.

00:40:20.839 --> 00:40:23.040 align:center
You used to be gentle and considerate.

00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:27.600 align:center
When we trained together back then,
you were so kind.

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:31.759 align:center
You'd rather get hurt yourself
than harm others.

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:33.600 align:center
"Rather"?

00:40:34.319 --> 00:40:36.080 align:center
"I'd rather"?

00:40:37.080 --> 00:40:39.359 align:center
I couldn't, Yuanfeng!

00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:44.560 align:center
If I'd been a bit stronger,
I wouldn't have always been defeated.

00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:48.759 align:center
If my elder brother
had been a bit more decisive,

00:40:48.839 --> 00:40:51.600 align:center
we wouldn't have been constantly
hindered by those old fools,

00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:53.720 align:center
unable to clean up the rot!

00:40:53.799 --> 00:40:56.240 align:center
If you had been a bit more resolute,

00:40:56.319 --> 00:40:59.440 align:center
Jixing Abyss wouldn't have kept
ending up among the Lower Three Realms!

00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:04.680 align:center
And even now, you, my incompetent brother,

00:41:05.319 --> 00:41:10.880 align:center
are still reminiscing about my so-called
kindness, gentleness, and mercy.

00:41:15.200 --> 00:41:17.520 align:center
You don't deserve
to sit in this chair at all!

00:41:24.600 --> 00:41:29.759 align:center
Yuanfeng, Jixing Abyss won't fall
because of the netherbeast army.

00:41:30.759 --> 00:41:33.920 align:center
It will fall because of people like you.

00:41:56.120 --> 00:41:57.560 align:center
Chao Yu is dead.

00:41:58.240 --> 00:42:00.600 align:center
The news of the nameless
charred corpse at Dragon Carp Terrace

00:42:00.680 --> 00:42:02.160 align:center
has already spread far and wide.

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:05.080 align:center
The Emperor of Zhushui
will surely investigate thoroughly.

00:42:05.839 --> 00:42:07.279 align:center
Your Lordship, be careful.

00:42:07.359 --> 00:42:08.759 align:center
Don't let them find out.

00:42:10.080 --> 00:42:12.720 align:center
Don't worry. I won't.

00:42:14.200 --> 00:42:19.520 align:center
To outsiders,
Mu Qibai is the one who last saw Chao Yu.

00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:23.000 align:center
He is the perfect scapegoat.

00:42:23.080 --> 00:42:25.759 align:center
Besides, with the netherbeasts
refined by Ji Bozai,

00:42:25.839 --> 00:42:27.960 align:center
Mu Qibai no longer has value to them.

00:42:28.040 --> 00:42:29.080 align:center
They won't let him off.

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.839 align:center
Today, the Emperor
of Jixing detained Mu Qibai.

00:42:35.759 --> 00:42:37.319 align:center
-Today?
-Yes.

00:42:38.240 --> 00:42:40.080 align:center
It hasn't been officially announced.

00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:41.279 align:center
It seems that Ji Bozai

00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:44.600 align:center
has gained the upper hand
in this game after all.

00:42:49.160 --> 00:42:50.920 align:center
How could it have gone so smoothly?
me after all.
