[Love Never Fails] [EP40]

What I want

is just Hongning.

Stop!

How dare you bring her up?

Kunlun!

Luyao gave her life

not for you

to kill out of hate.

Hongning gave me back the phalange

not to make me

hold onto revenge.

What do you mean?

Phalange?

Where is she?

Baicha,

you still don't get it,

Hongning cared for you.

Back at Floralia Palace,

she risked her life for you.

Because she saw you

as a friend for life.

But you want

more and more.

The hate

grew deeper as well.

All because of you.

Yes,

it was all her fault!

Now matter how,

there's no excuse

for how you turned out.

You thought Hongning'd leave

after she ascended.

Hongning…

She wouldn't.

[His roots were wounded,]

[I don't have enough power]

[to save him.]

[Don't be scared.]

[I'm Hongning.]

[This is rainwater,]

[and this is fresh soil,]

[all for you.]

[Don't worry,]

[I'm here now,]

[I won't let them]

[hurt you anymore.]

[From now on,]

[we're friends.]

[From now on,]

[you're my best]

[and only friend!]

[Hongning.]

[Hongning!]

[No matter what,]

[I'll always pray for you!]

[Baicha,]

[take care of yourself!]

Thank you

for bringing her back.

Thank you for guarding her

all those lives.

Hongning

never forgot these.

Now,

let it all

end here.

Just kill me.

This ain't killing out of hate,

he had it coming.

[What I want]

[was never to rule Three Realms,]

[nor to live forever as a deity.]

[Hongning,]

[since I met you,]

[I finally saw it clear.]

[None of that beats]

[every ordinary,]

[noisy,]

[tiny]

[moment on earth.]

[I'd trade my Kylin blood]

[to bring peace to all realms.]

[Everything will be]

[just like you wished.]

[This world you love so much,]

[I'll guard it]

[with all I've got.]

Glad

you're alright.

I'm sorry.

If that's for what

happened to my Father,

then save it.

You don't hate me?

Everything today

is the result of his own choice.

And Luyao…

Don't go saying something

gloomy again.

She's the Matriarch

of the nine-tailed foxes from the NCR.

It's said they have nine lives.

Don't worry,

she'll be fine.

Sir,

it's all over now.

You once told me

to live for myself.

Now it's time for me

to find

my own path.

Lujiu,

take care.

Where do you think he's going?

Going where he thinks is right,

and doing what he believes in.

Look,

the demon army

backed off

when you gave the order.

Most demons

aren't looking for a fight.

It was Baicha who played on

their fear deep down.

Scared of getting crushed,

so they all jumped in.

What about the heavenly army?

Waiting by the Gate of Reincarnation.

Both realms

took a heavy hit

from this whole war.

But the mortal realm suffered the most.

With the war raging this long,

the mortal world

will surely be doomed to chaos,

waiting to be saved.

This is on me.

Bro,

now that it's over,

what's next for you?

What I ought to do.

You're blessed by Kylin,

fated to protect all.

You're both the Demon King

and

the last Emperor Star.

Demons and immortals share roots,

you should take the throne

and keep the realms in check.

But the demon realm

needs a ruler too.

Why can't I be

the Demon King?

How did I never notice

you're this

impossible?

You started it.

Now you're

turning this on me?

Kunlun,

when I was exiled,

you stood up

and took the Monarch's duty.

You know better

how to balance

the power of the realms.

You're the right one

for the throne.

Now you're tossing it

back at me?

I'm just as torn.

You know,

I grew up on tales

about heroes everyone admired.

Those tales

have broadened my knowledge

and expanded my horizons.

They've also

concretized the imagination of mortals,

helping them understand

life and death,

love, and righteousness.

Jinxiu,

thanks to you!

Your story

lit a fire

in me!

I've got to write your legend,

I don't care what the heavens say!

I'm writing it anyway!

I know you'll become

a legend for the mortals!

That's what real immortals

should be remembered for!

In any case,

I swear…

My old fellow.

If it weren't for me,

you'd have a good post by now.

I owe you.

Sir Jinxiu.

You're back.

I'm no longer

the Celestial Commander.

Calling me that

doesn't feel right.

Then I'll call you

Demon King.

Jinxiu!

I wanna go to the Withered Garden.

Jinxiu!

Jinxiu…

"The heavenly historian"

"once dared to call out"

"the heir to the Celestial Monarch,"

"the former"

"Celestial Commander,"

"the past Floral Deity,"

"the ex-Punisher,"

"by his name!"

Jinxiu...

Hell yeah!

Cool.

[No littering in the Withered Garden.]

[No hiding booze in the Withered Garden!]

[These are]

[all failed batches from the Wine Garden.]

[If only my besties,]

[Jiaobo and Ningmeng, were here.]

[Then I'd ask her]

[for more mint,]

[then the wine'd taste amazing!]

[Told you,]

[when you're down,]

[have a drink.]

[Shaoyao!]

[Sir Jinxiu!]

[Are you here to see me?]

[Nope.]

[Just dropping off flowers.]

[Thought you]

[came to see my cultivation.]

[Sir.]

[What is it?]

[Take care.]

[Sir,]

[can I be your Empress now?]

Find her for me.

No matter when

or where.

Find her for me.

[The Celestial Realm]

[was built to last.]

[But sadly,]

[tragedy struck hard.]

[Now the immortal-demon war's over,]

[and the world]

[is back in one piece.]

Time to rebuild all realms.

Sir Kunlun,

son of the former Celestial Monarch,

once ruled in his place.

Wise and noble,

he cared for all,

and won the hearts of all.

So,

the throne

goes to Sir Kunlun.

He now holds

the Emperor's Seal!

- Greetings, Your Majesty. - Greetings, Your Majesty.

The past unbreakable rules

were broken in just one day.

This change

is shaking the foundations.

It's hard for you all

to adapt so fast,

that's fair enough.

Immortals and demons

share same roots,

we should share the same rule.

From this day on,

be you immortal

or demon,

ascending or descending

will not be limited anymore.

The Demotion Pool is gone.

To be immortal or demon,

just report it.

No need for heavenly tribulation.

Cultivation in all realms

returns to its roots.

Doing good deeds.

From now on,

no more ranks!

[Awesome!]

I wanna be an immortal,

can you make it happen?

I want it to!

May I?

Sure.

Come on up.

I'll grant you immortal register.

Thanks!

Calm down!

I'm just…

No need!

Just testing you.

You keep your word,

you're a good guy,

then we trust you.

Right, Jiaobo?

Wait a sec!

What are you saying?

Your Majesty,

you really look like

ruler of all realms!

This war

left great damage in the Celestial Realm.

Envoy Plum

of Floralia Palace

will take over as Floral Deity

for restoration.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Great!

Chrysanthemum Attendant

will take over as Historian.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Uh…

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

What about me?

I...

Listen.

You're now my personal historian

and will work for me.

Hold up,

you're still salty?

No, uh…

Thanks, Your Majesty.

Who's that?

Official Chrysanthemum.

General Hengtian.

You'll take over as Punisher.

Please keep peace in Three Realms.

Anyone stirring trouble

should be punished.

Yes, Your Majesty.

- Hail Your Majesty. - Hail Your Majesty.

Hail Your Majesty.

Hail Your Majesty.

Hail Your Majesty!

Hail Your Majesty!

Congrats!

Hail Your Majesty!

Congrats, my son,

you're now the Celestial Monarch.

Thanks, Mother.

You've created this magnificent scene

through your own efforts.

I once fought

this fate.

But in the end,

I still walked

your path, Mother.

Do you have something to say?

Yes.

"Anyone

stirring trouble

should be punished."

Was that meant for me?

Yes.

Mother, if you insist on backing

the Western Sea blindly,

waging war on the NCR,

then I can't sit back.

Let me ask you.

Put the identity

and title aside,

as your Mother,

have you ever blamed me

or hated me?

I believe you're aware of it,

then I won't say more.

Mother,

return to the Western Sea

and protect your homeland.

I'll come visit you.

Kunlun!

Kunlun...

[Shouldn't my brother alone]

[go through the immortal tribulation?]

[Why do I have to join?]

[Your Emperor Star is shining too,]

[so you must go as well.]

[Do you know you're both]

[chosen to go through tribulations?]

[In the Cangwu lifetime,]

[your stars]

[flickered.]

[You died saving]

[your fellow disciples.]

[You deserve to be the Monarch!]

[Sir Kunlun]

[descended for immortal tribulation,]

[I can't interfere.]

[But I hope you]

[give him your strength.]

[You bore it all,]

[endured my coldness,]

[simply because]

[you weren't my own]

[flesh and blood.]

[I only agreed]

[because I selfishly wanted]

[to drive you out of the Celestial Realm.]

[As the son of the Celestial Monarch,]

[shouldn't you lead the Realm]

[throughout this crisis?]

[Isn't it your duty]

[to step up]

[when the Realm is leaderless?]

[I've never run from duty!]

[Was it]

[really my fault?]

[Kunlun,]

[am I the one who's wrong?]

The Sky Fox rebels remain,

the NCR is unstable.

And it's your first time

dealing with guys from the NCR.

Remember,

don't let your guard down.

So now

you speak as

the Celestial Monarch?

Luyao is your sister,

if she could see you now,

it would warm her heart.

I'm not doing this

just for her.

I know.

Since I'm the NCR King,

is it too much to ask something

from you?

Go ahead.

First,

I'll abolish the old law

that banned demons

from cultivating.

In my land,

all are equal.

Second,

those who abused

immortal register

will lose their status,

and can't cultivate for 1,000 years.

Third,

the NCR promises

not to meddle

in other realms.

But if attacked,

we will fight back.

The Celestial Realm

may not interfere.

Deal.

You agreed so easily?

First,

immortals and demons

share the same roots.

Identity matters nothing.

Second,

you named only a few in the NCR.

Those who sincerely repent

should be forgiven.

Third,

as long as you don't start war,

I won't meddle in your rule.

You'll make a good monarch.

Will you be a good brother to me?

Jinxiu is my brother.

Always.

Luyao is my Empress.

Always.

As Luyao's brother,

will you be a good brother to me?

If she can come back,

and stand by what I did today,

I'll admit that she's my sister.

She will.

There's something

I want to tell you.

Say it.

I…

I can use my nine tails

freely now.

I know

she'd want to know that.

So I told you.

Wait!

Have you seen an ice block?

We've got this stuff everywhere.

If you want one,

move it yourself.

I just went to your NCR.

No,

it's Lujiu's now.

He's doing well.

And he's grown a lot,

way better with others.

There's nothing to worry about.

But you gotta come back soon.

I talked Lujiu into it for so long!

He finally calls you Sister!

If you stay away any longer,

he might change his mind!

You won't hear him say it then!

Well,

you left so fast,

didn't even take the talisman!

If you weren't so forgetful,

would I have found you?

Remember the first time when I met you

in Cangwu Academy,

you were just

a weak little fox.

[Your tail's showing!]

After all this,

how many tails do you have left?

Have you turned into

a normal fox now?

[Let me tell you,]

[you stole my first kiss,]

[so I'm stuck with you]

[in every life!]

[If you don't come over,]

[I'll carry you back myself!]

Trust me,

at all events,

I'll find you.

We're already tied by the red thread,

and you promised to be my Empress.

Backing out now,

no way!

You actually came.

Thought you wouldn't make it.

No soul left in you?

Did you walk here

just by sheer will?

Bro,

you asked me here

just to brag

about how well

you've taken care of

these weak plants?

Maybe then

I could use my

Floral Seal

to help you command.

Look at you!

I'm not a kid anymore!

Bro,

the story about you

spread far and wide.

Every storyteller down below

can't stop telling

how you ended the war!

None of them has actually seen

your true face,

yet they worship you

as their guardian god.

You actually took the spot

of our NCR Matriarch.

Matriarch is as she is,

guardian of peace.

How can I take her place?

You believe it?

I do.

Then so do I.

Only my bro knows me best.

Kunlun,

we've been brothers forever.

We're not of the same blood,

but we have true feelings.

This bond's

forever in my heart.

Why do you sound so strange today?

I found her.

Where?

She went mortal.

So,

you want to be mortal too?

Bro,

we can help her cultivate immortality,

then you can both live

forever in Floralia Palace.

Kunlun,

I owe her too much.

If she can't be my Empress,

then,

I'll go with her

and live as a mortal.

But mortals live one lifetime only,

you'll forget her next life,

and she'll forget you too.

What's the point

of doing this?

Well then,

we can start over.

I'll meet her

every lifetime,

get to know her,

fall in love,

then part.

Isn't it...

kinda fun?

Alright.

When you find her,

I'll visit you in the mortal realm.

Give me that.

[Heavenly immortals,]

[please bless me.]

[I want to marry Sir Jinxiu.]

[If I win,]

[you'll marry me in heaven.]

[Alright.]

[That fur looks stunning!]

[Never seen fur this good!]

So pure white,

is it a demon?

Who cares?

Doesn't concern us.

[But,]

[that fur made into clothes]

[would look amazing!]

[More than that!]

[People would murder with jealousy!]

[Welcome!]

[Hot steamed buns!]

[Take a look here!]

[Hot steamed buns!]

[Wanna some?]

You again.

What do you mean?

You know me?

What's inside there?

Want to buy?

Take it.

That's a lot!
