=Dragon King's Decree=

=Episode 22=

Father,

you took my dragon pearl.

Are you trying to kill me?

From now on,

I'll hold onto your dragon pearl

and seal it.

So you can cool off,

get your head straight,

and go marry Liluo.

Moshang,

you'd give up the throne

just for Feng Zhilou.

Is it worth it?

Someone

like you who only knows how to use people

wouldn't understand

what's worth it.

Right.

I don't get love,

and I don't need to.

All I know

is Father chose me.

That

is what really matters.

Growing up,

he always took your side

and ignored me.

It felt like he was ripping out my dragon scales.

Now you finally feel

that kind of pain too.

Miss,

what's wrong?

I don't know what's up with me.

I'm just always tired.

And I sleep badly,

always dreaming.

But when I wake up,

I forget everything.

Everyone's sluggish year-round.

Being sleepy is normal.

You actually make sense.

But the only one who's sleepy

year-round is you.

One word.

Lazy!

Hey!

Miss, eat something.

Since the Young Master's out,

I'll take good care of you.

This chicken leg smells amazing!

Come have one.

Miss,

why aren't you eating?

I'm just not hungry.

Not hungry?

Want to walk around town?

Let's go!

Moshang's never suffered like this!

I have to save him!

Save him?

You?

With what?

Your big courage?

Then what?

There's no way.

This barrier was set by Father.

You can't break it.

Young Master,

you've suffered.

Good thing you're here.

I need you two to handle something.

Young Master, don't worry.

I'd risk my life

to get you out!

Head to Wujing.

Find Zhilou.

I'm worried Nie Rongzhi will mess with her.

Look out for her for me.

Young Master, really?

You're still thinking about Miss Zhilou?

I...

You talk too much.

Young Master, don't worry.

We won't fail you.

Let's go!

Bai Lu.

Don't let Zhilou worry about me.

Got it.

We'll keep it quiet.

Young Master,

you're on your own from here in the sanctuary.

Miss, does this look cute?

Does it sound nice?

So childish.

Those pastries we bought were amazing!

Right?

- Come by my place and try some! - Sure!

Xiaoyu,

take whatever you like.

I'll buy it all for you.

Why are you crying?

You're still the same, always tearing up.

You should smile more.

You look the best when you smile.

I look great smiling too!

Miss,

let's go listen

to some stories.

Let's relax.

Okay.

Let's go then.

Today's tale is a legend about a beast.

I love stories about beasts!

Miss, listen!

Two humans marry.

Their kid's human.

But if a human marries a beast,

and they're really together,

their child

could be anything.

Makes sense.

So this beast, Man Yi,

turned into human form.

He became a handsome young guy.

He walked in the fields

and met a village girl, Yun.

Love at first sight,

then second sight,

and by the third, they decided to marry.

Yun went home

and told her family

she wanted to marry Mr. Yi.

Her family saw him.

Handsome,

polite,

and well-spoken.

So,

they agreed.

After their wedding night,

Yun found herself pregnant.

Then if she is pregnant,

is the baby human or beast?

When Yun became pregnant,

her symptoms

weren't like ours.

How so?

Human mothers

usually deal

with nausea,

throwing up,

and cravings.

But Yun's belly

kept

jumping.

Thump.

Thump!

Thump!

Like something inside was actually dancing.

Dancing?

Beasts lay eggs, and their young

hatch from them.

Miss, what's wrong?

It's nothing like us.

Tell me what it is when it's born!

Okay.

Even without us,

Hunbao will look

after Miss Zhilou.

Carrying a beast fetus

makes you feel awful every day.

Sounds about right!

After all that thumping,

a few days later...

Where's Feng Zhilou?

Yun's family noticed something was off.

It was...

What are you two doing here?

Well...

You tell them.

Elder,

why aren't you two in the sanctuary?

Why did you come here?

That's a good one.

We're here to drag you back.

Let's go.

Hear that? They're dragging us...

No!

Miss.

Miss, what's wrong?

Did you have a nightmare again?

Miss, your belly...

Move!

Wait, I remember now.

This is exactly like that storyteller's tale.

You're pregnant!

Don't talk nonsense!

Pregnant or not,

a physician can check.

I am a physician.

Why would I see one?

Go to bed now.

Miss,

if you end up giving me a dragon child to play with,

I'll finally have connections!

I'd finally have some pull around the sanctuary!

Say that again,

and I'll...

Okay! Just sleep!

I'm leaving!

With things like this,

how am I

supposed to hold on until your wedding?

Mother,

even though the prince

called off our engagement in public,

the sanctuary sent word saying

they'll send me the battle robe in three days.

So,

you want me dead right now?

Mother,

I'm not going to push you that far.

In this whole city,

there isn't a single decent person

who can walk me down the aisle.

If we want to keep you alive,

catching Yue or Feng Zhilou

is our best chance.

Where's your brother?

He won't send you off?

My brother?

He's still alive?

He might as well be dead.

He already knows

what we did to Yue and Feng Zhilou.

Now,

he hates us to the bone.

If he doesn't expose us at my wedding,

I'll count myself lucky.

I planned for years,

set everything up

so you'd have a future here in Wujing City.

Didn't think

you'd ruin it this badly!

You really...

You really are useless!

I'm telling you this

because I still see you as my mother,

not so you can lecture me.

You're pregnant.

Mother!

When I was pregnant,

I was just like this.

Qingfeng was so annoying.

He kept asking who the father was.

And the elder wouldn't stop nagging.

Only Qingyun was sweet,

always making me tonics.

Mother,

do you miss Feng Manor?

Of course.

Out of all Wujing City,

Feng Manor was always my favorite.

Maybe because

the ancient Wujing Saintess

was born there.

Maybe.

Or maybe because

I dreamed of Qingfeng last night.

He told me

it's time to wake up.

Mother,

actually,

I've been wanting to ask you a lot of things.

Back then,

why did you come to Wujing City alone?

Why

did you leave me behind at Feng Manor?

Who am I?

What does being

the Wujing Saintess mean?

What about the baby's father?

Is he good to you?

How's his family?

Yes.

Mother,

he's really good.

He's the kind of guy

who looks

grumpy on the outside.

Cold, even.

But deep down,

he's incredibly kind.

He always sticks up for the weak.

He took me,

someone everyone called useless,

and helped me grow stronger.

He always protects my pride.

And he's always on my side.

Silly girl.

Alright.

He does sound great.

Where is he now?

He...

Right now,

he's dealing with something important.

But I know

he's thinking about us.

Feng Manor,

Feng Qingfeng...

Qingfeng

really thought ahead.

Back then,

he didn't want you to feel burdened.

He held you as a baby every day.

Murmuring to you,

"Little one,

I wish you were just an ordinary child,

so you could stay here in Feng Manor

and be happy

for the rest of your life."

Feng Manor,

Qingfeng...

I really miss them.

Zhilou, you there?

I did everything I could.

I don't think you'll see more clearly

than this.

It's fine.

This is how it should be.

Young Lord,

any news from the sanctuary?

Even if there is,

Mother would tell Liluo, not me.

Zhilou,

I didn't call you here today to treat my eyes.

I called you to give you this.

This book was protected by every Wujing City Lord.

It's our greatest treasure.

(Dragon King's Decree)

♪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♪
