[Love in The Clouds]

[Adapted from Bai Lu Cheng Shuang's "Love in The Clouds"]

My younger cousin

might be absent-minded sometimes

but she has many people proposing to her.

However, I am very picky

as her older cousin.

I think no one is good enough for her

besides the First General of the Six Realms.

A while ago,

at the same place,

you mentioned

using my body to help you raise netherbeasts.

Are you using your younger cousin as a bargaining chip?

You can refuse, General.

Just assume I've never mentioned this.

I see.

[Episode 11]

If you had been sincere

in buying back Xinliu's freedom,

why did you even marry her?

You should've let her go.

Instead, you kept her in the Dengxian Cave.

Is this what you call freedom, huh?

No.

That's not it.

It's you.

It's all of you!

Why must you doubt Xinliu's love for you?

Ji Bozai.

Little fairy,

listen well.

I planned all of this

just to take Ji Bozai's life.

You and Zhang Tai have no value to me.

I can release both of you.

But you will be the one

to decide.

[Tomb of Beloved Wife Xinliu]

What are you doing?

Kill him

and I'll release you and Zhang Tai.

What do you think?

Dream on!

I will never hurt Ji Bozai.

Dream on!

No.

I'll never...

I'll never...

No.

What?

Don't tell me you've truly fallen for Ji Bozai.

There's no true love

without sacrifice.

You are wrong.

You are wrong.

If he can die for you,

I'm sure he will feel happy.

No!

You are wrong.

I will live on with Ji Bozai.

♪I drift across the boundless skies♪

♪Through deserts where no one goes...♪

Why didn't she kill you?

♪The self I long to find...♪

Why didn't she kill you?

♪Lost in a maze of lies...♪

Why?

♪I break into your sea of clouds...♪

Why?

Ji Bozai.

Why?

Come back.

Come back.

Get out.

♪Or is it the burning flame♪

♪Found only in storms?♪

How are you?

Ming Yi.

As long as you kill Ji Bozai,

I will spare you and Zhang Tai.

Why didn't you choose

the easy way?

Why should I do as you wish

and become trash like you?

How dare you scold me?

So what?

Do I need to pick a day for that?

Mu Xinliu is dead.

So you captured

every fairy that resembled her

to be your puppet

and control them like how you controlled Xinliu.

This is not true love!

It seems like you are no longer trying to save her.

Zhang Tai.

Ming Yi.

Xun Ming.

When you possessed me just now,

I could feel a seal in your memory.

Perhaps there's another story to Xinliu's death.

What did you say?

Have you thought about this?

Perhaps your memory with Xinliu

was altered.

Xun Ming, think carefully.

Dengxian Cave has never seen any sunlight in the valley.

Why is the cave always bright

in your memory?

Also,

there were

many "Zheng" characters carved

at Luosheng Forest and Dengxian Cave.

Do you really not know what they mean?

Or are you purposely avoiding the truth?

Why?

Did Xinliu not want to stay here?

Where are my true memories?

Why can't I see them?

The seal on your memories

can only be opened by an external force.

Why don't we make a deal?

I'll help you undo the seal

and you release Zhang Tai.

Why should I trust you?

Don't you want to know the truth?

Divine souls of all realms,

I'm willing to give away all my memories

without any regrets.

You should practice the qin in Luosheng Forest more often.

Yes, Qibai.

Xinliu,

I want you to tell me

whether you have true feelings for me or not,

you're the only one I love.

Xinliu,

say it to me.

Quickly.

I'm back.

General, you leave early and come back late recently.

You're being secretive

and you have blood on your clothes.

What are you doing, General?

Xinliu,

Lord Hanfeng has agreed to our marriage.

The condition

is that I raise netherbeasts for him.

When the netherbeasts mature,

he will be the ruler of Jixing Abyss.

So all your injuries

came from the netherbeasts?

I'm willing

to do anything for you.

If someone finds out,

you should escape first.

After I hide my primordial spirit,

I will escape from this place to meet you.

Why must you do this?

You put yourself

and me in a cage.

Don't even think about leaving me!

Xinliu,

tell me. Whether you have true feelings for me or not,

you're the only one

I love.

General,

I found the medicine to treat your body

at Jixing Palace.

Thank you.

I'm very fortunate

to have you as my wife.

I heard the Heartbond Array can suppress the netherbeasts' power.

The side effect on you is getting more serious.

My spiritual power is too weak

to cultivate the Heartbond Array with you.

Why don't you

undo the heart imprint with me

and find a stronger fairy to cultivate with you?

Even without the Heartbond Array,

I can still find a way to suppress the netherbeasts.

Don't even think about it.

No matter what,

I will not

let go of you forever.

What happened to your wrist?

I was distraught

and got hurt myself.

You used your blood

to concoct the medicine for me?

Xinliu,

don't hurt yourself for my sake anymore.

General, you are really good

at lying to yourself.

General.

Don't worry.

I can suppress it.

General, drink this medicine.

The netherbeasts' influence

can only be resisted with a strong enough spiritual power.

What I just fed you

only made you weaker.

Why?

Why can't the netherbeast kill you?

Why?

You know why.

You know very well why!

Xun Ming, I hate you.

I hate you so much!

I hate all of you.

I hate all of you!

Why must you marry me?

Why?

Why must you trap me here?

It's just one life.

If you want it,

I'll give you everything.

Xinliu.

Xinliu.

It turns out

I won't taste any freedom in my life.

This isn't true.

This isn't true!

Xun Ming, these are all true.

All the beautiful memories you have

were fantasies

created by your obsession.

Did you really love her?

You only love yourself.

That's enough.

Quit that act

of a loyal husband.

It's time to keep your promise

and release Zhang Tai.

Don't you know

that foxes

are the most cunning

and the most untrustworthy?

You want to save her?

Dream on!

Xun Ming,

do you still not get it?

Mu Qibai altered your memories

so you will let him use you

to raise netherbeasts.

Do you think you can stop Mu Qibai?

Even if you can stop Mu Qibai,

you still can't stop the person behind him.

What do you mean?

Why bother asking?

Today,

our souls

will be laid to rest here.

He is trying to destroy the Illusory Realm

and trap us here forever.

Let's go.

Zhang Tai's primordial spirit

is still in Xun Ming's hands.

I...

If you can't let go of her,

you can die with her.

Ming Yi!

Ming Yi.

The exit is closing.

We can't die here.

Go!

How troublesome.

The passage is going to disappear.

Go.

Go!

Die here with me!

Ji Bozai!

Biting off more than you can chew.

What a fool.

We still don't know

who the fool is yet.

Disperse all evil and return everything to its primordial state.

Break!

♪Our love, high among the clouds♪

Zhang Tai.

Ming Yi!

Ming Yi!

Ming Yi!

Grief Blossom?

Were you poisoned by the Heavenly Grief?

She can't find out about my identity.

Ji Bozai.

Ji Bozai.

Ji Bozai.

Ji Bozai.

Ji Bozai forced you to show your true form,

and here you are venting your anger at me.

He is not as disgusting

as you, liar!

It seems like you've remembered everything.

Xun Ming.

I saw how useless you were

and couldn't accept the truth of Xinliu's death

so I helped you

by sealing your true memories.

Instead

of thanking me,

you wish to go against me?

Have you forgotten?

Everything you can do means nothing

before the netherbeasts.

The Illusory Realm was broken.

You are just a spent tool.

You are no longer useful to me.

Even if I die here,

you will still meet your nasty ending one day.

Nasty ending?

Since the day we raised netherbeasts,

His Lordship has discarded all humanity.

Only by raising netherbeasts

can Jixing Abyss obtain the strongest power

and be a part of the Upper Realms forever.

What His Lordship is doing

is a small sacrifice for the greater good.

Wretches like you know nothing.

Sacrifice is inevitable

on the path to greatness.

When it is necessary,

I can even sacrifice the person closest to me.

If killing at this level

results in divine punishments or karma,

all the more reason for me

to rewrite the divine law.

Your Highness,

our next plan is...

First, it was Hou Zhao.

Then, it was Xun Ming.

Ji Bozai is avenging Bo Yulan.

His next target

will be me.

Ji Bozai is fighting for Jixing Abyss.

We can't do anything to him.

If we want to ruin Ji Bozai,

we must first remove his identity as a warrior.

My Lord, you're awake.

Come.

Granny Xun and I

made this medicine for you.

How did we escape?

Thankfully, you created the exit.

We spent a lot of effort escaping.

Jixing Abyss's general

died during our wedding.

Someone from Judgment Hall was here, right?

Yes. Zhang Tai was saved

thanks to you.

After she recovered,

she went to Judgment Hall with Immortal Situ

to accuse Xun Ming

of abducting fairies everywhere

to harvest their primordial spirit.

Later, Lord Hanfeng arrived

and said Xun Ming committed suicide out of guilt before him.

Judgment Hall

stripped Xun Ming's title as a general

and pronounced him a criminal.

He still died in Mu Qibai's hands after all.

You knew

who I've been trying to avenge,

didn't you?

Yes.

When you asked Ruo Shui

to accuse her father, Hou Zhao,

you weren't planning to hide it anyway.

I've been by your side for so long and I'm not a fool.

In this current situation,

I'm afraid Mu Qibai already knows

that you are trying to punish those who harmed Fairy Bo.

I'm not from Judgment Hall.

How can I punish them?

You could've killed all of them

but you spent all your efforts

searching for evidence

to turn them into criminals.

Aren't you doing that

because you don't want them to die as innocent people?

So, you were the one telling Zhang Tai

how to accuse Xun Ming

at Judgment Hall.

Yes.

They hurt the innocent

and abducted immortals to the Sunken Abyss

to make them suffer.

They should be punished.

They are the real criminals after all.

Speaking of which,

when the Illusory Realm collapsed,

you could've abandoned me.

Why did you return to save me?

Who knows?

Why are you smiling?

Do I need a reason to save you?

I've always been kind.

You know that.

I'm even keeping Ming Xian's stupid fan

so I can return it to him.

He is my rival after all.

You fought Ming Xian

because you had a wager with Princess Tianji

and had to win.

Since you mentioned

how honest and kind you are,

had it not crossed your mind to use any dirty tricks back then?

For example,

poisoning Ming Xian?

Is that what you think of me?

Why should I poison him?

If I want to win,

I can just win against him fair and square.

If I lose,

dying to him isn't something embarrassing either.

I see.

You are an honest person.

I'm guessing that Ming Xian

is also happy to have an opponent like you.

Those who were fortunate enough to fight against you

must have had

their most exhilarating battle ever

because you are not an opponent...

but a despicable person?

...but a close friend.

You don't believe in anyone, right?

You won't eat anything

that has been touched by others.

Right now,

there's someone who is willing to trust you.

I wonder

if you are willing to trust us more.

I trust you.

Immortal Situ.

Please come again another day.

Immortal Ji and Fairy Ming Yi

are asleep.

Someone's here.

It's our wedding night.

Should we let a night visitor of Wugui Sea

see us planning some important business?

You are a philanderer, My Lord.

Instead of consummating

on your wedding night,

are you plotting to kill someone else?

You've left Moonlit Blossoms for so long.

Have you forgotten how to act?

You

saw it through?

Saw what through?

That you are not a philanderer?

Or

that you are just...

Ming Yi.

We should let our visitor have a clearer view, at least.

You tricked me.

How can you act

when your will is so weak?

You're biting me for real?

If I get hurt, it's on you.

There's no one here.

He's still around.

There's no one at all.

Who told you so?

Weren't you immersed in your act?

Continue.

You tricked me

like this too,

when you first brought me back to Wugui Sea.

The first night.

It was you

who caused the fire on our first night.

Also,

if I hadn't rejected you the next morning,

does it mean...

Yes.

I was thinking

of an excuse.

Perhaps your heavy makeup

or bad taste in outfit.

Perhaps I'd say you smelled too good.

Ming Yi.

If I tell you

that I...
