[Love Never Fails] [EP39]

Celestial immortals are nothing special.

Groveling at my feet after all.

In that case,

might as well make the best use of you.

Lujiu.

Lujiu.

Lujiu.

Heaven sent you siblings

to aid me, didn't it?

In your dreams!

Despite what we've been through,

you haven't changed a bit,

still as detestable as always.

They say if someone

offers his life to make

a wish to a nine-tailed fox,

that wish will come true.

Is that real?

Of course it is.

Nine tails are

the most sacred symbol

of our Northern Celestial Realm.

But

I can't grow nine tails.

Then you can

make a wish to my nine tails

for your own to grow.

Lujiu,

it took so long

to finally realize

nine tails

never symbolized status.

They are

merely our fox clan's

false prestige

over the Northern Celestial Realm.

Nine tails

are nothing but chains

of duty and a curse.

It's not the time to talk about this!

Run!

Just run!

I once thought

if you couldn't grow nine tails,

you'd escape

this conflict with a rightful reason.

Yet

three tails or nine,

fate still finds us all.

Luyao of the Nine-Tailed Fox Sanctum

is willing to offer her life,

scorch her soul, and consume her body

with Spiritual Flame

to restore Lujiu's broken tails

and complete his nine.

Don't!

For a peaceful life,

burn my body,

scatter my ashes across the Three Realms

to cleanse this world's hatred.

No!

Don't!

Don't!

Luyao, what are you doing?

Absorbing my resentment like this

will tear your body apart.

Not to mention your Samadhi Fire

will burn your own soul

to ashes.

Luyao,

stop this!

Luyao,

don't be so cruel to me!

Please stop!

Kunlun,

remember what happened in Wuzhang?

Resentment has no cure,

except using one's body as vessel

to absorb it.

No!

Luyao,

I forbid this!

If you proceed,

I'll hate you,

never forgive you!

I'll follow you,

blame you

for being heartless.

Asking for your help

is way too cruel indeed.

Let my inherent Samadhi Fire

send me on my way.

Don't! Luyao!

I didn't mean it! Please stop!

I'm begging you!

Let me do it!

Let me absorb the resentment!

Luyao!

Don't!

S-

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

Stop this!

I finally

heard you call me sister.

Kunlun,

if there's a next life,

I'll tell you sooner

that I love you.

Come here.

You... You stand no chance.

She's everything to me.

Then why save me?

Don't you know how dangerous it was?

If...

I love you.

Luyao, don't do this!

Don't!

You are my only family now.

Please come home with me.

The Northern Celestial Realm needs you.

You

and that realm

mean nothing to me.

I have no sister,

no home!

Luyao,

you'll never be my family!

Never!

Lujiu.

Lujiu.

Sister.

Luyao!

Luyao!

Jinxiu,

you should know

had I

not shown mercy,

you'd have perished

with Cixin.

I'd rather turn to ashes than acknowledge

my enemy as father for millennia.

Jinxiu,

do you really hate me so?

Hongning.

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

I'm the one Heaven favors.

I survived the Kylin Lair,

endured the celestial fire.

I'm the chosen one,

destined for greatness

and born to rule this world!

Baicha,

after centuries of strife,

what more do you want?

Why involve

the innocent?

In the Withered Garden,

Hongning helped you escape.

In Floralia Palace, Jinxiu protected you.

Yet you are paranoid, jealous, and discontented.

Let me ask you,

what did Wuzhang's people do to you?

What did Cangwu's

disciples do to you?

What did Luyao ever do to you?

You took their lives,

made them homeless,

denied Cangwu's disciples'

rebirth,

and reduced Luyao

to ashes!

As expected, only the resentment

of a senior immortal like you

holds such divine power.

Baicha, you killed my sister!

I'll hunt you

to the ends of the earth!

Bring it on!

Release your hatred!

The more you hate,

the stronger I become.

Jinxiu,

slow down.

Be careful.

Let me see.

We've got a flower thief here.

Father, mother.

Mother,

the red camellia you gave me bloomed.

I didn't let you down.

I've taken great care of it.

Do you like it?

Father,

I didn't steal.

One should take flowers by proper means.

This blooming red camellia

is filled with your devotion.

I love it.

This place

is neither reality

nor mere illusion.

[Isn't this what your heart]

[desires and longs for?]

My mother gave you to me.

You are red camellia,

and I'm peony.

We share the same roots.

From now on,

let me care for you,

okay?

Since you've gained sentience,

do cultivate hard

and grow quickly,

so we may be together forever.

[Could my bond with Hongning]

[trace back to my mother?]

Why stand in the rain?

From now on,

just stay safely in my palace.

[That's me.]

Our floral kind

lacks defensive power,

but possesses regenerative strength.

Even if struck,

don't be afraid.

Hongning.

I had so much to say,

but I couldn't speak in a floral form.

I was so anxious.

It's alright.

You have plenty

of time to tell me in the future.

Is this what my heart

desires?

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu, where are you?

I lost you again.

What Yaotian will do to you?

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

Please take me to him.

It's Jinxiu

and me.

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

That's the plight in your mind.

It's not real.

You'll be trapped in there.

Come out, now!

Jinxiu,

it's not reality.

It's not your true life.

Come with me!

You can't stay here.

[In here, immortals and demons coexist]

[in eternal peace.]

[Why can't Jinxiu stay?]

Jinxiu seeks coexistence

and peace across the Three Realms.

I'd sacrifice everything

to stay by his side.

If this is all false,

what does he truly seek?

[His ideal and love]

[are all here.]

[Why make him leave?]

Our thoughts

and experiences

shape who we are.

The pain, the trials,

good and bad,

joy and sorrow,

are all part of you.

If you strip it

all away,

you'll deny

the meaning of your life.

You'll be incomplete.

You won't be your true self anymore.

[Without self,]

[he'd willingly]

[sacrifice his body to the world.]

[It's the price]

[to protect all realms.]

Why don't you do it yourself?

You sacrifice Jinxiu

for your own interest.

How unfair that is!

[Life's bitterness,]

[death's sorrow.]

[Immortals and demons, from heaven and earth]

[they came, to heaven and earth they return.]

Why force your duties and burdens

onto Jinxiu?

You're unworthy as the Celestial Monarch.

[You'll regret this,]

[so will Jinxiu.]

Being with my beloved,

why would I regret it?

I'm just a powerless red camellia,

but I do have

my own unique destiny to fulfill.

Jinxiu,

all creation awaits you.

You still have greater duties.

Wake up!

Don't forget the splendor of the world

is where you belong.

I used my finger bone to sustain your life.

I should be

the one to reclaim it.

You haven't repaid your life debt yet.

How can you break your word?

You still dare obstruct me?

I've lost everything.

Killing you

matters more

than my own life.

Immortals have desires,

so do demons.

Immortals, demons, mortals all crave.

How dare you claim

immortals are pure and sacred?

If not for your inner corruption,

how could my Unicorn Blade be empowered?

What I seek

has never changed.

During the immortal-demon war ten millennia ago,

countless lives were lost.

Rivers of blood ran deep.

The despicable nature of demons

and their savagery

were completely exposed

in that war.

I sacrificed my emotions

to plead with the Sage

for divine power

to reshape the order of the Three Realms.

From then on,

immortals and demons were separated,

free from chaos.

[The great order reigns supreme.]

[The laws of Heaven and Earth come first.]

[What I seek is absolute,]

unshakable order.

That is your law,

not the Heave and Earth's.

It is merely your own conjecture.

Since the dawn of creation,

immortals, demons, and mortals were established.

There must be a reason for their existence.

[Then]

[why would these happen?]

[Precisely because these demons]

[harbor resentment]

[and were born in savagery,]

their grudges linger after death,

transforming into filthy hatred,

corrupting the Three Realms.

The evil you speak of

is simply because they were born as demons.

Open your eyes and see,

resentment and conflict

rages everywhere now.

Is this the Three Realms you desired?

Is this the Three Realms

you sacrificed so much for,

even turning me into

part of the world to protect?

Ten thousand years ago,

the Sage warned me

that reshaping the order of the Three Realms

would bring unforeseeable consequences.

Your actions are bound

to return to haunt you.

If you can break the plight set by my true form,

I have no room left for retreat.

I can

dissipate my divine mark

and remove my divine bones.

But,

for the Three Realms

and all living beings,

I still hope you can

sprinkle your Kylin blood

across the world

to dispel

that lingering

resentment.

If it's for the peace of the world,

I have no hesitation.

I'll do it myself.

Jinxiu,

you really don't hate me?

I don't.

Baicha,

for your own selfish desires,

you incited war between immortals and demons,

causing suffering across the Three Realms.

Stop this madness.

Because of me?

If not for the divide between immortals and demons,

I wouldn't have been banished to Mt. Baizhou,

cut off from immortality,

mocked and tormented beyond endurance.

The demons who endured such humiliation

would've never seen me as their king.

All of this

is your fault.

It's all your fault!

Withdraw your resentment.

You can't defeat him

with resentment.

Focus.

All I seek

is Hongning.

At this point,

you still dare mention her?
