[Love Never Fails] [EP37]

Your Divine Highness,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

She still refuses to leave.

Would you like me

to drive her away?

Leave her be.

Everyone in all realms

wants her dead.

Are you not worried?

Today,

had the troops not lost their way in the

twisted passages of Dragon's Tomb,

her fate would

have been sealed.

She's come a long way from

being that camellia pixie.

Her powers as the Demon Queen have awakened.

She no longer needs anyone's protection.

Perhaps she'll be

better off without me.

You still

harbor feelings for her.

What difference does it make?

Our paths

must part here.

Your Divine Highness,

this place is no longer secure.

What's your next move?

Baiyu and Mokui have exhausted

their powers to save me.

It's time

we part ways.

Your Divine Highness,

please don't send me away.

This isn't banishment.

I want you to

experience life's fullness for yourself.

When I saved you,

I never expected anything in return.

Your loyalty

has gone far beyond

any favor I showed you.

But I've never

seen it as a burden.

Lujiu,

you've followed me through countless lives,

living solely for my sake.

What's wrong with

dedicating my life to you?

That's because you've never known

what it feels to live for yourself.

I've walked a path

of many mistakes.

It took lifetimes of pain

to learn this simple truth.

I will seek

my own path,

but until then,

I will not leave your side.

Remember these words.

Seek out

your own destiny.

Greetings, Sir Kunlun.

Where is mother?

She is in conference with the officials.

She just left.

I'll inform her of your arrival.

Don't bother.

I'm here to see father.

You may all leave.

Yes.

Yes.

Come on, old man,

wake up.

Mother's so angry with Jinxiu

that she banished him to the mortal realm.

I knew

you've always favored him.

The throne was

meant to be his.

That's why I played along since childhood,

acting as the troublemaker.

I thought it would

keep our family in harmony.

Who could have guessed

things would turn out like this?

With Jinxiu in the mortal realm,

mother expects me

to take the throne.

I understand that

now is the time

to answer duty's call

and fulfill

my role

as a royal son.

But I just can't

make peace with myself over this.

You once said that

of the two Emperor Stars,

only Jinxiu's shone bright.

Only the one whose

Emperor Star gleams

has the right to inherit the throne.

How can I seize

what rightfully belongs to him?

I cannot claim the throne

without true legitimacy.

By the way,

who was

Jinxiu's mother?

The divine maiden who gave birth to him

must have been

a stunning beauty.

What else could explain

Jinxiu's ethereal beauty?

Perhaps if he'd been born less handsome,

mother wouldn't have been so consumed by jealousy.

Father,

allow me more time.

When my Emperor Star finally glows,

perhaps I too can

become a worthy son in your eyes,

just like Jinxiu.

I have to leave now.

These days, the affairs are demanding,

and mother's wearing herself out.

She needs my assistance.

You've rested long enough.

It's time to wake up,

old man.

Take a look, my lady.

Our rouge is quite famous.

Have you found one you like?

[Quick,]

[which one do you prefer?]

[Can't decide?]

[I'll purchase the entire collection.]

[I'll take this one.]

Sir Jinxiu,

I've searched far and wide for you.

Are you alright?

My lady,

we are strangers to each other.

Please keep your distance.

Don't you remember me?

It's the injury, isn't it?

Baicha told me

your divine bone was extracted.

How are you holding up?

I fail to comprehend your meaning, lady.

It's alright if you don't understand.

Just know that

I won't harm you.

Let me check

if you have other injuries.

This is absurd.

Sir Jinxiu,

I've spent a millennium searching for you.

I know I've committed

many wrongs against you,

caused you pain.

But I can explain it all.

My lady,

I don't know whose heart you've broken,

but I'm sure he wouldn't be pleased

to see you grabbing

another man's hand in public.

There is no other man.

It has always been you.

If you have no other business,

I shall be on my way.

I was gone for just a moment,

and you're here harassing him again.

He said he doesn't wish to see you.

Sir Jinxiu.

Sir Jinxiu...

Sir Jinxiu!

why do you lie?

Are you still angry?

If it would ease your hatred,

you can take my life.

Why are you so convinced I wish you dead?

I'll accept whatever you choose to do.

There are torments beyond death.

If you're afraid,

leave now.

I won't leave.

You killed my father.

I paid for your crime with my divine bone,

asking only that we never meet again.

There's nothing more between us.

You know my powers are weak.

He could have ended my life with ease.

I still don't understand

how I managed to wound him.

How did I possess

such strength...

But I clearly remember

his words.

he had placed a Soul-binding Litany in you.

He admitted

that you were not his son.

[He is not my son!]

[If he weren't the Emperor Star,]

[he would have been cast into Kylin Lair]

[and obliterated into nothingness!]

Why didn't you tell me then?

Why did you ask me to kill you?

Why did you speak such harsh words?

Because I couldn't bear to see

your Floralia Palace fall with me.

I wanted to keep you safe,

but things didn't go as planned.

These consequences,

they're my fault...

You killed him claiming to keep me safe.

You'd rather die at my hands

rather than reveal the truth,

again saying it was for my protection.

What about the Heart Seal?

What's your explanation for that?

Another act of protection?

All along,

your approach to me

held hidden intentions.

You're wrong.

Destiny played its cruel game.

I was unwilling to accept it.

I believed

I was bound by vengeance,

but once I found you,

I understood that

my search for you

was never driven by hate.

Yet you'd rather endure the Heart Seal

than admit your love for me.

So many died because of you.

Their cries kept me awake at night.

But when I

learned of Lujiu's story,

I finally realized,

I was the one at fault all along.

You trusted me, loved me,

while I kept deceiving you.

I feared that once you knew the truth,

you'd doubt the sincerity of my love.

I...

I couldn't bear to hear you say,

"we shall never meet again."

So

that's why your heart

was aching all that time?

Yes...

it hurts...

my heart aches whenever I think of you.

What is my true identity?

Celestial Commander,

Floral Deity,

Sir Jinxiu...

Before I descended to the mortal realm,

mother revealed that

I wasn't her true-born child.

Regardless of your identity,

to me, you are simply my Jinxiu.

My initial plan was simple:

descend to the mortal world,

find a place I like,

live a life I enjoy,

and silently pass away there.

The life of an immortal is endless.

I spent ten millennia in heaven,

yet now I realize

those decades of mortal trials

left deeper marks on my soul.

I was like

a misplaced stone,

just sitting there

while people passed by,

calling out "Your Divine Highness"

to me, a mere stone.

But only I knew

that inside,

this stone was shattered.

Looking back now,

perhaps everything had its reason.

Maybe

I was never meant to be there.

Perhaps...

you were meant to wait for me.

When the emperor tried to kill me,

he planned to cast you into the Kylin Lair.

So,

you want me to go to the Kylin Lair.

I am going to accompany you.

Whether through hell or high water,

I would remain at your side.

After all this time...

why does His Majesty remain unresponsive?

Mother, please ease your worries.

Father will surely be fine.

Your Divine Majesty!

Father...

Father!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Announce to all realms!

His Divine Majesty has awakened!

Yes!

My beloved...

It's me.

You?

Why did you tap me?

Hey, little fox,

have you lost your mind?

Don't you know they're hunting demons?

Yet here you are, hanging around.

Aren't you afraid they'll catch you?

Those meatballs?

Well, they're welcome to try.

Aren't you a demon too?

What's your business here?

You think I want to be here?

I'm on the run with these two.

Here I am, trying to do you a favor,

and you're giving me attitude?

On the run?

Where are you heading?

To Mt. Baizhou.

It's become a sanctuary for demons

who have nowhere else to turn.

Halt! You won't get far!

Oh no,

It's the divine troops.

They must have detected our presence.

I swear, they can

sniff us out like bloodhounds.

Let's get out of here,

hurry!

Hurry!

Why run?

Let me handle this.

General Manwu,

where are you off to?

aren't you going to greet His Majesty?

As the Punisher,

I've seen countless demons thrown into the lair.

I never thought

it might hold answers about my past.

I feel such pain for

those demons cast into the lair.

They suffered terribly,

burned by the heavenly fire.

This place is meant for demons

of the gravest sins.

If

the emperor wished to confine me in here,

perhaps

my origins are connected to demons.

I think it's wonderful this way.

You're finally like me now.

They can no longer preach about

the divide between immortals and demons.

You take this rather lightly.

I've always been this way.

The heavenly fire is perilous.

This journey...

might be one of no return.

When I chose to come,

I had already abandoned hope of survival.

Shall we?

[This is...]

[My king's aura...]

Who are you?

I'm half of Yanwei, the twin-headed serpent,

steed of Demon King Fuzhu.

How curious...

You?

It is you...

My master,

the sovereign of all demons,

he is the Demon King.

Your master is the Demon King?

My master ruled over all demonkind.

I've been waiting for my master

for so long...so very long...

until I

nearly lost all memory...

You,

saved by his finger bone...

you are my rightful master!

Finally, after all this time...

Master...

All that you wish to know

lies within this eye.

You need to recall it all...

and you shall remember everything.

So,

you not only

condemned Jinxiu to the mortal realm,

but also took the liberty of

passing the Emperor's Seal to Kunlun?

Jinxiu brought a demon here

and plotted your assassination.

His crimes deserve no mercy!

I only did what was necessary.

Such insolence!

Father,

circumstances were critical.

Had I not assumed temporary authority,

chaos would have ensued.

Mother acted only out of necessity.

Your Majesty,

Jinxiu was aware that Muxian

was the camellia pixie,

yet still brought her here.

He purposely enabled

her gradual approach to you,

leading to your grave injury.

Such betrayal and defiance

of divine order,

are you still defending him?

And that camellia pixie as well?

The pixie means nothing.

That very pixie

left you in this state!

How can you still turn a blind eye?

So what?

A hundred camellia pixies

would mean nothing to me.

Jinxiu is all that matters!

Father,

Brother's descended to live as a mortal.

Please let him be,

allow him to live out his days

as a mortal!

Ignorant boy!

Such foolish mercy...

You know nothing!

I fear you'll find this disappointing.

Jinxiu's whereabouts among the mortals

are currently unknown.

It seems no one will be able to

succeed your divine throne!

Bring him back to me,

dead or alive!

I don't care whether

he's mortal or immortal.

Every demon in existence

may die,

but only Jinxiu can complete

this grand design

I've crafted for millennia.

Yet you all,

with your selfish whims

and foolishness,

have destroyed my careful planning!

Father,

I don't understand...

You don't understand?

None of you could possibly understand!

Issue my decree!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Search every corner of all realms

if necessary,

but bring Jinxiu to me!

As you command!

This must be what the serpent

meant by the dream of the eye.

But this Mt. Baizhou

looks different from the one I know.

Did you hear anything

before arriving here?

I heard a woman

calling your name.

Good sir,

is this Mt. Baizhou?

He can't see us.

What are you up to?

So that's what

dream of the eye meant...

Lady Cixin said

she loves red camellias.

If I make them all bloom,

she'll surely be happy.

With immortals and demons

on the brink of war,

you're still focused on

romance with a fairy?

Mind your tongue!

Don't tarnish

how she sees me.

I say we should

just storm heaven with the Black Serpent,

defeat her brother Yaotian.

Wouldn't that solve everything?

Scram!

She's almost here.

Little troublemaker,

what do you want from me now?

Have you been causing trouble again?

My lady,

behold...

It's quite lovely.

So Lady Cixin

is the emperor's sister.

Why has father never

mentioned her to me?

At the Withered Garden,

I heard he mention

that millennia ago,

it was home

to a fairy.

Though no one

remembers her name.

Perhaps...

she was my mother...

Haven't seen a trace of her,

why so impatient?

This isn't right.

I've been sick for a day and night.

What if something's happened to her?

Surely not...

She's coming!

Quickly, lie down!

The agony!

Oh, the agony!

You little troublemaker,

what's wrong with you this time?

I fear I'm lovesick,

afflicted with

the illness of longing...

My lady,

where are you going?

Stop these

childish games.

I shall not visit you anymore.

But why?

I am the Punisher,

and you are a demon.

Our union

violates the divine order.

So what?

Surely it wouldn't deny

our child a father?

These laws you hold so dear,

weren't they made by yourselves??

That's not what I...

All things are possible.

Stop

worrying so much.

Do you know what

matters most right now?

What?

Naming our child!

Haven't...

haven't you thought about it?

Have you?

Absolutely!

I've long decided.

Our child will surely

become like me,

supreme ruler of the world,

king of the demon realm.

So

I plan to name him

"Megatron!"

Do you have other ideas?

Not to your liking?

I did think of another one.

Come...

"Overlord."

My wish is that

this era of peace and prosperity endures.

With beautiful landscapes...

Shall we name them Jinxiu (splendor)?

Jinxiu?

Jinxiu...

Jinxiu is perfect!

From now on, you'll be Jinxiu.

You'll be Jinxiu.

Easy there!

Jinxiu...

Merely a scratch...

Cixin!

I know

you won't spare us.

All I ask is that

you spare this child.

Grant him a chance to live,

and we'll surrender our lives now!

Cixin,

as the Punisher,

how could you be so stubborn?

Cixin,

I won't let you die!

I want you to

live on with Jinxiu.

How can I live on

if you perish?

Master...

Do you truly believe you alone

can destroy the entire demon race?

You've already lost.

After your annihilation,

no one

in this world will remember

the existence of you, the Demon King!

You heaven-born fool,

how ridiculous you are!

You may take my life,

but you can't eliminate all demons.

As long as someone remembers,

the Demon King will exist.

And as long as the Demon King exists,

the demons will never submit

to the Celestial Realm!

Sooner or later,

a new Demon King will rise,

succeed me,

and end your life!

My love!

No...

My love...

My love!

Jinxiu,

though we cannot watch you grow,

may your days

be blessed with happiness.

Mother!

My father, the Demon King...

my mother, Cixin...

were slain by the emperor

I once respected...

Jinxiu...

Master,

now you know everything!

You must avenge your father!

You are the rightful ruler

of demonkind,

the true Sovereign of all demons!

Jinxiu!

Jinxiu!

All kings have been allied with Kylin.

Kylin protects our kind,

and their blood was sealed here,

waiting for master's return!

Master,

under its protection,

with eternal heavenly fire

and the return of Kylin blood,

the world shall flourish in splendor!

Jinxiu!

Jinxiu!

Jinxiu!

Jinxiu!
