What did you do?

♪No one left to lean on♪

♪No way out, no place to run♪

Once I put on this sigil, I can't take it off.

Once you give me the pendant, I can't return it.

What now?

Do the Dragons always have to be this overbearing?

Are you planning

to give up your Icebound Sword too?

Anything I give stays with the person

unless I decide to take it back.

No one else gets to return it for them.

Then wait until the day I die miserably

or live out my years,

and you may

reclaim each of your treasures.

Only my death

can sever everything

between us!

Feng Zhilou,

do you have to be this cruel?

Dragon God,

we were strangers to begin with.

Let's end it here.

You go your way, and I'll go mine. No more mixing fates.

That's how it should be.

And what if I don't want that?

♪Hear the waves of life♪

♪Battling the unpredictability of the world♪

♪Fought, hurt, endured pain, and tolerated♪

Mother.

Liluo?

Liluo!

Mother,

what am I supposed to do?

What happened?

It's my fault for being useless.

You've suffered so much because of me.

The sacred marriage alliance was our last hope.

But now

a woman has suddenly appeared at Feng Manor,

and she has feelings for Prince Shang.

I don't know

when I'll ever be able to get you out.

Liluo,

my sweet girl...

Everything I've done for you has been worth it.

As long as the Dragon King's decree stands,

the sanctuary will recognize you as the Wujing Saintess.

There's no way Prince Shang

will marry anyone else.

But...

Her Lordship just drank your blood,

and her illness has flared up again.

She's forcing me to come to you for the cure.

I hate this, Mother.

But I really have no choice.

It seems

Feng Zhilou's medicine

really works.

Feng Zhilou

has not only awakened her spiritual root

but also mastered good medical skills.

I'm afraid

she could become a real threat to me.

After all,

your youthful appearance

is entirely sustained by the Saintess' bloodline.

However,

Yue's bloodline

was passed down

to her daughter.

I never expected

Feng Qingfeng would fool me

back then.

Not exactly.

Yue has grown weaker

these past days.

Her Saintess bloodline

is fading.

That's why drinking her blood

no longer works for you.

If a borrowed bloodline

can help Liluo pass the Dragons' inspection,

why not

use Feng Zhilou's blood?

You're right.

Millennial Elk Blood can take control of a person's body.

If we trick Feng Zhilou into drinking it

and keep her firmly under our control,

nothing will stand in your way.

I'll start preparing immediately.

Mother,

is Feng Zhilou really Yue's daughter?

I underestimated her.

Chu Moshang has been so cold to me.

He nearly married that little wretch at Feng Manor.

If he finds out

she's really Yue's daughter,

how could I ever become Dragon Queen?

Don't panic.

Look at her today.

She just discovered the man by her side

is Prince Shang.

Not to mention,

she'll eventually learn about Yue.

What matters most right now

is passing the Saintess bloodline test.

But I am not the real Saintess.

How could my daughter

ever be superior to Yue's?

The positions of Wujing City Lord

and the future Dragon Queen

are ours alone.

And you...

carry the bloodline of Wujing Saintess.

That's the absolute truth.

I want to be alone.

Zhilou,

give me some time.

I'll take care of everything.

Miss,

I've been looking for you everywhere.

That insane city lord sent people after you again.

She said your medicine

made her feel much better.

She wants you at the palace for the antidote.

Wait for me here.

(Butterfly Pavilion)

I'll go with you.

As what?

Miss, please be careful.

Where is Her Lordship?

Xiaoyu!

Feng Zhilou,

she's in my hands now.

I suggest you behave.

What exactly do you want from me?

What is this?

This is just some elk blood.

It's very nourishing.

Take it and drink.

Do you think you're in any position to bargain?

Can you let Xiaoyu go now?

(Find the Dragon King's Decree.)

(The mortal realm and the sanctuary need you.)

Mother?

(Find the Dragon King's Decree.)

(The mortal realm and the sanctuary need you.)

Her power is really that strong?

She's the one!

Grab her!

Hold her down!

Draw her blood now!

Don't let her get away!

With her blood,

I can finally be cured.

What happened?

Yan,

hand Feng Zhilou over to me.

Mother,

I've seen the signs of fate.

What signs?

There's no time to waste.

You can't fight destiny.

You cannot harm Zhilou at all.

Enough.

Feng Zhilou

will destroy your sister,

ruin you,

and even ruin everything I've built in this lifetime.

My lord!

Mother!

Mother!

My lord!

Mother!

Liluo.

Did you give Mother

anti-aging tonics from some shady place again?

Shady place?

Li Yan,

you're ridiculous.

You'd turn on us

over some village girl.

Since you're so desperate to know the truth,

I'll just tell you.

My dear brother,

your eyes

were never yours to begin with.

If you don't want them,

then give them back to me and Mother.

I won't let anyone stand in my way.

Not even my own brother.

If your eyes can't serve me,

then you can stay blind.

What's going on?

This is how the Wujing Saintess carry herself?

You're utterly vicious,

harming the innocent and even those closest to you.

No, Young Master.

That's not true.

Feng Zhilou,

I'm not done with you!

Young Master, this is bad!

There's demonic energy spreading in the western outskirts.

Zhilou,

you're stable now.

I have to contain the demonic energy.

Wait for me to return.

Miss, you're awake.

Hunbao,

what happened to me?

That awful city lord made you drink the elk blood.

It carries a blood curse meant to control you.

Luckily, Young Master saved you in time.

He said your war-god constitution kept you safe.

Miss!

Where's Chu Moshang?

Young Master

stayed by your side all day,

but just now

he rushed out with Fei Yuan and Bai Lu.

They said disasters broke out outside the city again.

There's demonic energy gathering everywhere.

Demonic energy everywhere?

Then isn't he in danger?

Miss!

You can't get out of bed.

Young Master told me

it's my job to watch over you.

If he comes back and finds you gone,

he'll punish me and turn me into a mudfish.

Please, I'm begging you.

I hate mudfish the most.

Alright then.

Is that you,

Xiaoyu?

I knew it was you.

Only you

would bring me medicine and tend to my eyes everyday.

You don't need to trouble yourself anymore.

I can't see a thing now.

Why are you crying?

Xiaoyu,

I was born blind.

I didn't see light until I was three.

I gained the power to glimpse fate.

Now I'm simply back where I started.

There's nothing to be sad about.

How serene you sound now.

Do you think that ability came from yourself?

You're blind now,

yet you've forgotten how sick Mother was

before you lost your sight?

Liluo,

hasn't it been obvious

how Prince Shang feels about you?

I already saw

that the one wearing the Wujing Saintess robes

was Feng Zhilou.

And you saw my coronation as Dragon Queen too.

If I could choose,

I'd rather have stayed blind forever.

Then stay here and stay blind forever.

I'm going to save Mother.

Chu Xiaoyu,

come with me.

I want her here

to treat my eyes.

You really think your eyes can be treated?

A blind man

and a mute girl

make the perfect pair.

♪Like petals fall, gone with the clouds♪

♪Like stars fade fast in open skies♪

♪Like snowflakes melting softly in the evening haze♪

♪Like your fleeting glance that gave me one brief dream's grace♪

♪Like fireflies flicker through wild grass, fleeting light♪

♪Like evening breeze that stirs soft hair in twilight♪

♪Like fleeting thoughts that surge and then unwind♪

♪Chance meetings fade, just empty rooms left behind♪

♪You brought a wave that stirred a wild, restless sea♪

♪Light as a feather, yet it sank an island deep in me♪

♪In that one moment, life's grip I couldn't break or sway♪

♪Leaving me lost in memories, small and fading away♪
