=Episode 27=

(War God's Hall)

What's going on?

Chu Moshang,

you're back.

It's the Dragon God.

He passed on his power to me.

It seems even the Dragon God and the Wujing Saintess already know

that there's no need

for a vow between us.

(War God's Hall)

What just happened?

I sense the Young Master.

He must've found a way to save himself.

Let's go.

(Demons of the nether realm may not hurt me people.)

(If possible,)

(I really wish I could be like you)

(and live for millennia,)

(protecting this land)

(and all we cherish.)

(Human lives are short,)

(but our children will)

(protect the mortal realm, the sanctuary and all living beings)

(in our place.)

(Dragons, heed my command.)

(Should the mortal realm and the sanctuary face disaster again,)

(the Dragons must find a human)

(just like the Wujing Saintess.)

(Trust in each other.)

(Fight as one.)

(Only then can you protect all life in the world.)

So the Dragon God and the first Wujing Saintess

weren't just friends

or comrade-in-arms.

They were also lovers.

That's why the Dragon God and the Wujing Saintess

didn't just marry each other

but also saved all life.

Zhilou, this means

you are my true Wujing Saintess.

You guided me

to the true Dragon King's Decree.

(Heaven-Earth Hall)

Li Yan,

we've summoned Zhilou,

but now we've been kept out.

Zhilou is still inside.

It seems

we can only stall for time.

(Heaven-Earth Hall)

Oh.

What happened today?

The Young Lord who always looked down on me

would actually wait outside War God's Hall for me.

You're leaving for the sanctuary.

As your brother,

I have to see you off.

That's more like it.

A wise man goes with the flow.

Once I've married into the sanctuary,

I won't neglect Wujing.

You'll still have to rely on me then.

You're not the Dragon Queen yet, and you've locked up Mother,

isolating her in Longevity Hall.

How can we place our hope

in Your Highness' modest care?

Mother doesn't want to leave her rooms

because she doesn't want to see other people.

Yes.

She won't even show up for such an important event.

She has always been so strong and ambitious.

She has certainly gone all out

so you can enter the sanctuary.

Do you still want to stop me

from meeting those of the sanctuary?

Don't forget,

Young Lord.

You've no right to meddle.

You speak as though you do.

I am the Wujing Saintess.

Who would dare stop me from being crowned today?

Men!

Feng Zhilou?

Why are you here?

Where do you think

we should be instead?

That's true.

How do your fates concern me?

Today,

Nie Rongzhi is going to deliver to me the Wujing Saintess' battle robe

and crown me queen.

Prince Zhi has arrived

with the battle robe for the Wujing Saintess!

Feng Zhilou?

Moshang?

Do you think you can change anything

by showing up now?

Are you that afraid that something might go wrong?

Moshang, every time you appear,

it's always such a surprise.

Congratulations, Young Master, on overcoming death.

This is great!

If His Majesty knows of this,

he'd be overjoyed.

Young Master,

we're here on the Dragon King's orders

to deliver the War God's robe to Wujing.

The marriage will be held tomorrow.

Prince Zhi will

welcome Princess Liluo to the sanctuary.

Since you're here safe and sound,

then the groom

of this marriage...

White Envoy,

the one marrying the Wujing Saintess is now me.

Are you going to decide on your own

to swap grooms?

The one marrying the Wujing Saintess

has always been Prince Shang.

You were swapped in

only because Prince Shang was dying.

Fine.

Fine.

I believe there's a misunderstanding.

I've told you.

I won't marry Liluo,

and I'll stop anyone of the sanctuary from marrying her.

I'm here

not to fight with Nie Rongzhi over anything.

It's because I already know the true meaning of the Dragon King's Decree.

A Dragon and a Wujing Saintess

don't need to get married

to save the sanctuary from destruction.

Young Master, you can tell everything

to His Majesty back at the sanctuary.

Regarding the marriage with the Wujing Saintess,

we need to settle it today.

This is the one and only battle robe

of the Wujing Saintess.

Please keep it safe.

The one and only battle robe of the Wujing Saintess?

Then what will happen

if an impostor wears it?

It's just a battle robe.

It still can't change the fact that I'm the Wujing Saintess.

Relay the order.

Place the battle robe under tight guard.

No outsiders may get near it.

No mistakes are allowed.

Yes, my lady.

The handover ceremony of the Wujing Saintess' robe is done.

The ceremony proceeds tomorrow.

We'll be waiting for your return in the sanctuary.

Zhilou!

Young Master, how are you?

Zhilou,

I thought I'd never see you again.

Zhilou.

We're both fine.

Alright.

Zhilou,

I'm glad that you're fine.

It won't be long

the truth will come to light.

Thank you for the concern, Young Lord. I'll take care of my own wife.

Your Highness,

you're mistaken.

I only have respect for Zhilou.

Yes, Young Master.

It seems your brother isn't in favor of you marrying into the sanctuary.

Tomorrow, he might plot with Feng Zhilou and betray you,

ruining your marriage.

You've no right to criticize me.

Didn't you say you've killed Chu Moshang?

Why is he here safe and sound?

Are you toying with me?

So what if he's back?

Could he break our engagement?

No one in the sanctuary can control me now.

But you...

If you dare make a mistake tomorrow,

I won't be merciful.

Your Highness,

since you've chosen Prince Zhi,

you must stand united with him.

We must now

stop Feng Zhilou and the Young Lord

from ruining the ceremony.

As for Prince Shang,

Prince Zhi will take care of him.

We don't need to interfere,

nor are we capable of it.

Kill them.

Kill them.

Kill them all!

Your Highness,

please calm down.

Don't lose your composure.

Shut your mouth!

♪The rust-stained sword pierces the evening glow♪

This is where I leave you.

I'll soon return from the sanctuary.

Don't worry.

No one can hurt me again.

♪Memories rise and fall, lost in a fleeting haze♪

♪In a dream, I see him who has gone far away♪

♪My world reversed, and everything fell silent♪

♪A sudden breeze shakes blossoms from the tree♪

♪In the narrow bloom of your eyes, whose grace shines?♪

♪When all turns fickle, who can tell truth from the dream?♪

♪Longing will be etched between my brows♪

♪Like sand slipping through fingers, you turn to roam the earth♪

Be careful.

I'll await your return.

Shang,

you came back just to tell me

that you've witnessed the truth

of the Dragon King's Decree?

Feng Zhilou is

the true Wujing Saintess?

Is that not enough?

Just what spell has Feng Zhilou cast over you?

You actually play along with her act,

faking your death

to gain Father's forgiveness.

That way, Father will agree to let you marry her.

I've always acted with integrity.

I wouldn't bother with a scheme.

If you won't believe me,

then we'll have to witness the truth.

Alright.

Since you say Feng Zhilou is the Wujing Saintess,

then why is the sanctuary's barrier still weakening?

Don't twist the facts.

The Dragon King's Decree is never about saving the barrier

with just a marriage.

You object so much to my relationship with Feng Zhilou.

Are you afraid the Dragon God

won't approve of you at the ceremony?

Would that be the Dragon God

or you guys?

Princess Liluo is already proven to be the Wujing Saintess.

She chose me.

I'll save the sanctuary too,

so why can't I do it?

You've chosen Feng Zhilou and abandoned the throne of the Dragon King.

Just who is twisting the facts now?

In that case,

tomorrow at Wujing's War God's Hall,

the marriage

of Liluo and Zhi will go on as usual.

I'll allow you to marry Feng Zhilou,

but you can't disrupt the completion of the Dragon King's Decree.

Alright,

but I request that Zhilou and I

be there at the ceremony tomorrow.

You're always welcome.

Father,

I only wish for you to know

that I'm compromising

not just to be with Zhilou.

Our relationship has

always been our choice.

You'll understand one day.

The sanctuary

will pay the price for its idiocy

and arrogance.

Young Lord,

are you really sure

that you'll expose Liluo and Li Yue's scheme

at the ceremony tomorrow?

Tomorrow, I'll be attending the ceremony

as the Wujing City Lord.

I'll announce to my mother, the sanctuary and the whole world

the self-accusation decree of my mother,

Liluo and myself.

But a self-accusation decree

means you'll lose everything.

I already have what's most precious.

Once everything is over,

you'll return to being the City Lord.

Zhilou,

with a Saintess like you,

even if the Demons invade,

all races will be truly united

under your leadership.

While growing up in Feng Manor,

I've just been a loser everyone attacked.

I never once thought

I could be the Wujing Saintess.

Being the City Lord....

My dream as a child was

to move to Wujing

and make a name for myself.

But when I'm actually here,

I realize

that nothing matters to me anymore.

I've already found the true meaning of my life.

Fighting as one with my lover

and protecting all life in the world

is now my only desire.

It has nothing to do with status.

It's actually the best

for Wujing to have a City Lord

who's dutiful and loves its people

like you.

Zhilou!

Bad news!

We can't find Yue in the apothecary!
