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

[Episode 16]

You don't need to spend any spiritual power on me.

It's not worth it.

I used Ruo Shui.

I used her

to free myself from my own hatred.

Next, I only thought about getting rid of her.

I thought

I had shown enough goodwill

as long as I sent her away.

I never cared about her life at all.

That's not it.

It's not like that.

Ji Bozai.

The people

Mu Qibai used to nurture the netherbeast army

were captured and thrown into the Sunken Abyss

alongside me.

Most of them were old people, women, and children.

There...

There were even people younger than me.

They did not stand a chance.

All of them were also innocent.

However, they were branded as criminals wrongfully.

Then,

they even became food for the netherbeast army.

If...

If I had not exposed Mu Qibai,

would they and Ruo Shui

still be alive?

But...

But...

But they are dead.

It's all my fault.

- It's all my fault. - That's not it.

You can't blame yourself

for their deaths.

This isn't your fault.

I found the Golden Millet Dream.

However, he put a blood seal on it.

I couldn't get it.

A blood seal?

Then, he's the only one who can undo it.

It seems like Ji Bozai is still wary of you.

Then, we...

Ming Yi,

why are you crying?

Twenty-Seven.

I thought

I would be happy

when I found the Golden Millet Dream.

I should feel lucky

that I am able to find it here.

But...

That's enough from me.

Twenty-Seven.

Right now, there's one thing we must do.

Destroy the netherbeast army

and deal with Mu Qibai, right?

What about you?

We can steal the Golden Millet Dream

and cure you first.

Then, we'll have a greater chance of winning. Am I right?

Twenty-Seven,

if you were in my shoes,

who would you choose?

A bad person who is alive

or a good person who is dead?

Ming Yi,

I've always wanted you

to become a good person who's immortal.

What do you mean by that?

You are a good cat who's immortal.

When all your teeth fall off,

you won't be able to eat any anchovies.

Are you going to help me?

Think about it carefully.

You said yes so easily.

You lost control of the Sunken Abyss.

It is only temporary.

On the surface, Sunken Abyss has been sealed off by Judgment Hall,

but no one knows

that the Soul-Consuming Tree is connected to it.

I've been staying in my place to feed the netherbeasts

for a few days.

So, there's no need to be anxious.

We will surely succeed in ten more days.

Lord Hanfeng,

you must be mistaken.

You should feel anxious,

not us.

If the Sunken Abyss isn't suitable for hatching netherbeasts,

there is no opportunity.

I was careless.

All of this happened because of Ji Bozai.

I came here this time

for Ji Bozai as well.

He does possess the Golden Millet Dream?

Ji Bozai eliminated two of my subordinates with his clever tricks.

He did everything

to avenge Bo Yulan.

He must have a close relationship with the Bo clan.

You didn't answer my question directly.

It seems like you really don't know

where the Golden Millet Dream is.

I have reasons to suspect

that you are also trying to protect Ji Bozai

so he can win the Qingyun Tournament one day

and become the best warrior of the Six Realms.

That way, the Jixing Abyss

can leave Zhushui Spiritual State for good.

I'm loyal to Zhushui Spiritual State.

Even if you're not,

your efforts are futile.

No one

can alter

the results of the Qingyun Tournament.

Does Ji Bozai know about the netherbeast army?

Not yet.

Jixing Abyss is such a terrible place.

Even the boat carriage can't move smoothly.

Shao Qun.

Maybe Lord Hanfeng can show us

how to pilot it properly.

Sure.

In less than ten days,

the netherbeast army will be ready.

We don't have much time left.

Everyone else thinks

the Sunken Abyss guarded by Judgment Hall

is where criminal immortals who did something atrocious get punished.

However, this place is full of poisonous miasma.

No one can set foot in it.

Mu Qibai wanted to use this place to make medicine,

but because he lacked the required formula,

he only made Heavenly Grief instead.

By using the Soul-Consuming Tree,

he opened a shortcut to the Sunken Abyss

and turned it into his own medicine mill.

A place full of miasma

is not just suitable for making medicine,

but also for raising netherbeasts.

That was why Mu Qibai

chose this place to hatch netherbeasts

and captured all you innocent people

to work for him.

Their operational method

has never changed.

They capture orphans, widows, old people, and disabled people

and send them to the Sunken Abyss.

If they die, they die.

No one will fight for them.

Therefore, they have been searching

for people who are the same as me.

People who have no one to care about whether they live or die

because people like us

are the most suitable to be used

in their opinion.

Ming Yi, you said

if we wanted to eliminate

the nascent netherbeast army,

we could offer ourselves as netherbeast vessels

to absorb the netherbeast core

and refine them.

Tell me.

How do I do this?

To use this skill,

you need a powerful person

to serve as a netherbeast vessel.

Leave this to me.

You are the warrior of Jixing Abyss.

Nothing can go wrong.

Since I've promised you,

I'm willing to become the vessel.

You said

it'd only be successful

with someone powerful.

I...

I've seen you use a spell.

You have limited spiritual power.

Even if you have spiritual veins,

you still won't succeed.

That is the reason

why I must become the vessel

so our strongest fighter can be available.

If something happens to you,

Mu Qibai will act immediately.

If we lose you,

how can we defeat him and the person behind?

How can I be hurt

from being a vessel?

But you...

It's decided.

There are three steps

before you become a netherbeast vessel.

The further you get, the more dangerous it is.

Step one,

cultivate your spiritual powers to strengthen your own core.

Step two,

absorb the netherbeasts to your core remotely

and you'll have a netherbeast core inside you.

Step three,

use yourself as a vessel

to contain the netherbeast core

and refine it.

This is the first stage.

You will exhaust all your spiritual power

and feel extremely weak.

Remember

not to leave Wugui Sea.

Is Ji Bozai really using himself as a vessel?

Does he not trust you

or not want you to be hurt?

He is currently cultivating in seclusion in the Spirit Well.

However, he has never said anything to me.

Instead of not trusting me,

it's more probable to say that he doesn't want to see me hurt.

What he thinks of me now isn't important.

He must first pass the first stage.

This medicinal powder

can treat the wound on his hand.

I still need to make some nourishing medicine

to maintain his spiritual power at its strongest.

That's what we can do now.

Chief,

you're still not going back? It's late.

Everyone else has left.

You may go back.

I'll leave after I review this.

Yes.

It has been a long time,

my dear younger brother.

You've been

doing very well,

and things have been getting better.

[Situ Ling, Chief of Judgment Hall in Jixing Abyss]
It's not worth it to come here

especially for me.

[Chao Yuan, Third Prince of Zhushui Spiritual State]

There must be a more important reason, right?

It seems like

you'll never ever have spiritual veins.

You've been hiding in Jixing Abyss for so long

yet you still haven't found the Golden Millet Dream.

You're destined to be mediocre.

Since I'm here,

you can forget about searching for it.

You've not changed at all.

You only target people weaker than you.

Exactly.

You are the weaker one.

When it comes to this,

you've not changed as well.

[Clarity of Mind, Righteousness of Spirit]

You're still the same.

So boring.

Fuyue.

I'm fine now.

When Your Lordship finds the Golden Millet Dream

and gets your spiritual veins,

you will no longer be humiliated in such a way.

Fuyue, like I said,

I don't want the Golden Millet Dream anymore.

Your Lordship,

can you prioritize yourself?

Is love so important?

Are you going to give up

what you want

and what you hate in life

for a woman?

I've been keeping an eye on Mu Qibai for you for so long

and we finally have some progress now.

Are you really going to give the Golden Millet Dream to someone else?

What progress?

Do you have news of the Golden Millet Dream?

Mu Qibai

searched the whole Wugui Sea

and couldn't find the Golden Millet Dream.

I'm guessing

that perhaps Ji Bozai

can create a real Spirit Well

that only he can enter.

He then hid it in the well.

Spirit Well?

Your Lordship wants to use the Golden Millet Dream

to save Ming Yi,

but you've been exposed in the divine capital.

Without spiritual veins,

do you think they will let you live?

Your Lordship,

what about the things you've always wanted to do?

I can't bear to see you do this

for someone else.

But

there's only one Golden Millet Dream.

I can live without spiritual veins.

But Ming Yi will die without a cure.

Then...

can you do it for me?

It takes a lot of effort to capture you.

I heard

the more scared a fox is,

the shinier its pelt.

If I want to make a pelt out of you,

I must make you nervous

to sharpen the color.

Let's play a game.

This game

will put me in danger?

How thrilling.

Your shamelessness

always reminds me of someone I hate.

Chao Yu.

Your whip is not that good.

I've healed

in less than three days.

Thanks to me,

even a useless person like you with no spiritual veins

has gotten cocky.

You're more resistant to whips now.

You have no spiritual veins

yet you learned something new.

Isn't that good?

Are you hurt?

Why didn't you run?

Dumb fox.

If you are doing this to pity me,

stop crying.

When I can

change all of this

and celebrate my victory one day,

you may cry.

But...

Are you trying to say

that I'm weak now?

I know that.

I'm still far too weak now,

but someone once told me

that if I could think about it,

I could make it happen.

It's the same.

Think about it first

and live on.

Nothing can stop us

in the future.

Even if you're just a little fox.

You are fond of Ming Yi,

but Your Lordship's life

is more important than anything else to me.

In the past, I'd do anything

you asked.

But this time,

for the first time in my life,

I hope you won't get what you want.

♪Yet still looking back♪

♪In the next life...♪

Your Lordship, do you know?

I've never had

any precious memories.

I was just

a wild fox who only wanted to survive to the next day.

Then, that day came.

I have someone I cherish.

I have important memories.

Because of you,

I finally realized the purpose of living a long life.

Can you do it for me?

♪Waiting for the moonlight against the wind...♪

Sorry, I...

♪No matter who takes a peek at my wound♪

♪Let the memories gaze afar...♪

Your Lordship, if you insist on doing this,

hide your tracks at least

and do not let them discover you again.

I will also think of a way

to verify if Ji Bozai

has created a real Spirit Well.

I shouldn't disturb his rest.

Are you looking for me?

It's nothing important.

I figured

you should be weak

after strengthening your core.

So, I brewed some medicine.

But it's okay.

Aren't you...

So,

can I appreciate

your goodwill or not?

Didn't you say

you don't take food from outsiders?

You're still talking about this?

If I were someone else,

he would think

that you were trying to poison him,

but you changed your mind because you had a moment of kindness.

And right now,

you are trying to talk

your way out.

Great.

You shouldn't drink this.

It's time to begin the second step.

You need to use a Teleportation Array

to send your core to the Sunken Abyss

and absorb the primordial spirits of all netherbeasts.

However, this step will expose the presence of the spellcaster.

Please teleport your core back

as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

I sacrifice myself

to summon the righteous aura.

Demons and evil spirits,

seal.

This way.

Lord Jingxi, please take a look.

In three more days,

the netherbeast army will be created.

The number and power of the netherbeasts

are on par with those

raised by the Spiritual Veins Fairies.

I've been complaining

that Jixing Abyss is a harsh

and run-down place.

However, this terrible place

actually has its use.

What?

How come all the netherbeast cores have been absorbed?

This is...

Ji Bozai.

Yes.

Ji Bozai.

It must be him.

It must be Ji Bozai.

Useless!

I didn't know

Ji Bozai knew the Netherbeast Refining Skill.

Otherwise,

I would've taken precautions.

Lord Jingxi.

I shouldn't expect anything out of this place at all.

A barren place that only produces trash!

Search everywhere

and get me Ji Bozai!

[Jade Rabbit Hall]

[Gudiao]

Your Highness, you should rest.

The Venerable of Shouhua Academy

is not just a pretty trophy.

I must remember everything

about the Qingyun Tournament.

You have grown up, Your Highness.

I'm just afraid of losing again.

Without the Blessed Rain,

the plants of Jixing Abyss

will look dull.

Xiuyun.

I feel anxious often.

Do you think the Blessing Flower Mother left behind

will wilt again?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Immortal Yanxian's method is useful.

For so many years in the past,

we've not had Blessed Rain

yet it still blooms just fine.

Gentlemen.

We've been training day and night,

yet the most important warrior,

Ji Bozai,

has not appeared for days

and abandoned Shouhua Academy.

Why should we train anymore?

What are we giving our lives for?

- Yes. - That's right.

For what?

Qingyun Tournament is a team battle.

We need a leader

who can lead the whole situation.

Right now,

someone like Ji Bozai

has been chosen as a warrior

and is cherished by Her Highness.

Why should we still care?

All of us should stop training!

Sun Liao is right.

If Ji Bozai doesn't show himself,

he should not become a warrior.

That's right.

If he's not here,

there's no need for us to train anymore.

Yes. Why are we still training?

Don't say that.

Your Highness,

Sun Liao is causing trouble at Shouhua Academy.

Who said you can skip training if Immortal Ji isn't here?

Immortal Ji is a warrior

but he is not the only one

in Shouhua Academy.

If he alone can decide

if we win or lose in the Qingyun Tournament,

that means Jixing Abyss hasn't really become stronger.

Gentlemen,

who's right?

Who's right?

Being loud doesn't mean you're right.

I think

Immortal Sun Liao is right.

As a warrior,

Ji Bozai is indifferent about Shouhua Academy.

He doesn't care

about Jixing Abyss at all.

Yes. Her Highness is spoiling him.

He's right.

If Lord Hanfeng manages Shouhua Academy,

this will never happen.

Exactly.

To Ji Bozai,

fighting in the Qingyun Tournament as a warrior

is just a way for him

to get rid of his criminal status.

Is that Ji Bozai's aim?

No wonder.

I've not been able to understand

why Ji Bozai won't come to train.

What you said has enlightened me, Immortal Sun Liao.

Someone like him

is not fit to become a warrior of Shouhua Academy.

- Yes. - Exactly.

- That's right. - He's not worthy.

Why don't

we elect another warrior?

What?

Another warrior?

But who?

It is an important position.

We must choose the right person.

Yes.

I think Immortal Sun Liao is a good choice.

Me?

Your Highness.

You must be joking.

As the Venerable of Shouhua Academy,

I don't joke about this.

Immortal Sun Liao participated in the last Qingyun Tournament.

He has more experience

compared to other people.

Moreover,

whether it's the warrior selection

or the training in Shouhua Academy,

Immortal Sun Liao has been very proactive

and has an excellent attitude.

I hereby declare

that Ji Bozai is stripped of his title of a warrior.

Just like that?

We'll lose for sure.

- Exactly. - She won't show mercy at all.

His title is stripped?

- I'll elect Immortal Sun Liao - Her Highness has her reasons.

- as Shouhua Academy's warrior. - Yes.

Really?

Great!

I support Immortal Sun!

I support Immortal Sun too!

I...

- Sun Liao? - Sun Liao?

- Right. Is he capable? - Can he do it?

What's going on?

Why do I think he's unreliable?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you.

I was being short-sighted

and only had eyes for Ji Bozai.

Right now,

you are the more heroic one

who should carry the mantle of a warrior.

Ji Bozai isn't the best choice

but Sun Liao...

So we caused this ruckus

just to help Sun Liao instead.

- Yes. - He's unworthy.

Immortal Sun Liao, please lead others in their training.

If you do well,

I will tell Father.

Of course.

Your Highness.

I made you the warrior

and you're still addressing me as Your Highness?

Shouldn't you call me the Venerable?

Why did Tianji do this?

No.

This is the best

and the most efficient solution.

Yes,

Venerable.

Sun Liao is so arrogant

yet Tianji still promoted him.

How humiliating.

Is your pride that important?

It's fine as long as her goal can be achieved.

Deceit, lies,

and empty promises.

Instead of protecting Ji Bozai,

it's better to make Sun Liao

the new target.

Lord Hanfeng, why are you looking for me?

What's wrong with this tree?

It was healthy at first.

It was surprisingly fragile.

I took my eyes off it for a while

and it wilted in one night.

Lord Hanfeng, you've been taking care of it meticulously.

I was careless.

Lord Hanfeng, don't be upset.

Lord Hanfeng,

I can bring you some of the best wine.

It has

Zhaocui Dew added to it, which is endemic to Jixing Abyss.

It tastes completely different.

Endemic to Jixing Abyss?

Yes. Jixing Abyss is the only place among the Six Realms that has it.

The flower looks identical to a weed

but on the full moon's night,

the world's purest dew will be condensed on the flower.

I shouldn't expect anything out of this place at all.

A barren place that only produces trash!

These are the items cleared from the warehouse next door.

There's not much use to them.

How do you want to deal with them, Your Lordship?

Lord Hanfeng, this is...

I almost forgot.

Tianji gave this to me.

Tianji?

That was a long time ago.

During those few years,

we still had

a close relationship.

Tianji loved sweet food.

She wouldn't even

throw away a candy box.

She didn't want the emperor to find out

so she asked me to keep it for her.

That is because Tianji saw you as her support.

So, when I saw her working with Ji Bozai,

don't you think that'd make me upset?

Not at all.

She was just all talk.

She only thought

Ji Bozai looked mighty as a warrior.

Tianji's feeling for Ji Bozai...

That's impossible.

She doesn't like him.

That makes me even more upset.

The little girl

who came to me for protection

is nowhere to be seen now.

What will happen to her in the future?

I will protect Tianji.

I won't let her get hurt at all.

Even I can't say that confidently.

Why would you not be confident?

Ji Bozai.

Who in Jixing Abyss

knows about Ji Bozai's past?

How come a criminal like him

has spiritual veins?

This alone

is concerning,

let alone

the changes that were brought

to Jixing Abyss

after he defeated Yaoguang Mountain and rose to fame.

Is that so?

Do you know?

There were netherbeasts in Jixing Abyss not too long ago.

I thought someone was making up rumors.

It was actually true?

I am investigating the truth.

So, can you

help me and Tianji

clear all the dangerous obstacles?
