=Dragon King's Decree=

=Episode 28=

Zhilou!

Bad news!

We couldn't find Yue at the apothecary.

That can't be!

Baiyue must have used

a demon artifact

to break through my barrier

and discovered her.

Yan,

did you come for me?

Mother,

please hand over the city lordship and Miss Yue.

I've already prepared

a self‑accusation decree for you.

It'll be announced tomorrow.

Please stop resisting.

Yan,

do you think that because we don't carry

the Wujing Saintess bloodline,

we should return everything to them?

Shouldn't we?

You know exactly

how we got here,

step by step.

Everything we have belongs to us!

Why should they take the rewards we earned?

Mother,

you were the one who stole everything from others!

Li Yan!

I'm your mother!

I gave you everything you have,

including your position as Young Lord!

I can earn my place on my own.

The people of Wujing never

respected a City Lord

just because of bloodline.

They only feared it.

What they need is

someone who can give them a better life.

Mother,

kill him.

If you don't,

he'll kill us.

Guards!

Take Princess Liluo!

Li Yan,

you fool!

Let her go!

She's the Wujing Saintess!

No one will believe your accusations

tomorrow!

I'm the next City Lord.

These guards answer only to me.

Mother, you're old. You should rest.

She hurt

someone.

It's reasonable for me to detain her.

Take her away

and don't release her

without my permission!

Yes!

Go!

Li Yan,

she's your sister!

She's the Wujing Saintess!

You can't treat her like this!

Li Yan!

(Yingyue Palace)

(Yingyue Palace)

Even if you keep silent,

I'll find my mother.

You think this will make me give in?

I'm not the one who came for you.

Liluo,

you know I

won't bend justice for family.

Tell me

where you hid Miss Yue.

Yan,

I grew up being told

I'd become the Dragon Queen.

I was so close.

Why?

Why is it you?

Was all

your kindness fake?

Did she use this same voice

to fool my mother?

Feng Zhilou!

You're always selfish.

I didn't believe it at first.

When we were kids,

I always held you

and told Mother you'd

be the greatest Wujing Saintess.

You worked with outsiders to harm me?

She used a beauty trap and sent

Chu Xiaoyu to seduce you!

You fell for it.

Are you really willing

to ruin your own future just to stop me?

You've

grown up

and changed.

You can't take criticism anymore.

You blame everyone else.

Everyone is wrong

except you.

Even me,

the brother you once adored.

You refuse to see any good in me.

I worked so hard

to become the Wujing Saintess.

Why are you taking the only

dream I've ever had?

It's all I ever wanted!

Let's go.

She won't say anything about my mother.

I'll leave

in an hour.

Feng Zhilou,

just wait!

Your mother lost to mine,

and you will too!

Even if you married Chu Moshang,

I'm the true Dragon Queen!

Dragon Queen.

Wujing Saintess.

Hearing those words

from you is ridiculous.

If you rely on others,

the moment they stop supporting you,

you'll have nothing.

Let's go.

Li Yue,

where did you hide my mother?

Is this how a Wujing Saintess asks for help?

Oh.

You're not the Wujing Saintess yet.

My daughter is.

Li Yan is too soft.

If I were him,

he'd have killed Liluo and me

the moment

he chose your side.

I just want my mother back.

I don't care

about Wujing City

or the sanctuary.

You say that easily.

How am I supposed to trust you?

What do you want me to do?

Feng Zhilou,

you married Prince Shang,

so I can't kill you.

But I have Yue and the Feng Manor.

You can't kill me either.

You only need to prove you don't have

the Wujing Saintess' bloodline.

Then everything will be solved.

Being the Wujing Saintess

isn't just about bloodline.

It's not that simple.

Why does the sanctuary test blood?

And why is it

your mother's blood that keeps me young?

It's a gift

given to the Wujing Saintess'

descendants.

Enough.

I don't need your explanations.

I just need you to obey,

no matter you accept my terms or not.

You killed Dark Dhuta.

You must already have

the Saintess War God Constitution.

So what if I do?

Feng Zhilou,

have you ever wondered

why you survived until eighteen?

Because of my father

and the Feng Manor's protection.

They

let you waste

eighteen years.

That's why I never cared about you

in Wujing City.

Baiyue.

This is a demonic pill.

It suppresses

the spiritual roots of ordinary cultivators.

I want you to become useless again.

Liluo will become the Dragon Queen.

I'll release your mother afterward.

(For the world)

(or for my own kin.)

(Do I really have to sacrifice one side?)

(Is there no way to save both?)

Look

who's back.

Zhilou.

Are you the Young Lord?

Yes, Miss Yue.

Your eyes...

By order of the City Lord,

Wu Jing City is now heavily guarded to ensure

the wedding ceremony proceeds without issue.

Zhilou,

what happened?

I agree to your terms,

but I need to see my mother first.

You're smarter than your mother.

I like talking to smart people.

Guards,

bring Yue.

Zhilou.

Mother.

Feng Zhilou!

(Don't forget.)

(The lives of the entire Feng Manor)

(are in my hands.)

(Even if you dislike your former family,)

(as a descendant of the Saintess,)

(you can't watch innocent people die.)

Zhilou,

don't listen to them!

Don't eat it, Zhilou!

Zhilou!

Zhilou!

Zhilou.

Mother!

Mother!

Zhilou.

Mother,

I'm just glad you're safe.

Your...

Your eyes...

You're even more beautiful than I imagined.

I dragged you down.

I made you suffer.

Mother,

I never felt it was suffering.

Life's only going

to get sweeter from here.

I'll take you out of Wujing City.

We'll go back to the Feng Manor together.

I may not have cultivation now

and can't help you,

but believe me,

the Dragon God and the Wujing Saintess

won't spare the greedy.

Have you ever thought about it?

Once Liluo enters the sanctuary,

she has to carry all its burdens,

including the Dragon Queen's duties.

We're human,

not gods.

It's normal if she can't handle everything.

But if she claims

what's meant for gods,

she must also carry their burdens.

Everything has a price.

Let's go.

Zhilou,

your spiritual root is gone.

Feng Zhilou,

Her Lordship and I have met all your demands.

I hope you'll keep your word.

Young Lord,

Her Lordship says

she can't attend tomorrow's ceremony.

We'll need you to escort the bride for her.

And to avoid any mishaps,

please come with me.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of myself.

Otherwise, how can I protect Wujing and you in the future?

You call this combing my hair?

It hurts like hell!

And this rouge is rough and cheap!

Do you have a death wish?

Get out!

Your temper's still as fierce as ever.

That's why I'm one of a kind, right?

Watch yourself.

The sanctuary doesn't like Dragon Queens like you.

I'm the Wujing Saintess.

Their opinions don't matter.

I heard

something bad

happened in Wujing City today.

If any of you ruin

my big day tomorrow,

I won't forgive you.

Zhi,

if I weren't the Saintess,

would you still marry me?

Even if you weren't the Saintess,

you'd still have that title for me

until I become Dragon King.

There's no love between us.

Just a deal.

Moshang,

did you see?

Today I'm marrying the Wujing Saintess.

She's the wife you chose.

Don't regret it.

Regret?

For a thousand years, people only remember the Dragon King.

No one cares who the king's wife is.

I'm not like you. I don't care about the world.

All I know is

you lost your chance

at the throne today.

When you finally

understand who your wife really is,

then come talk to me.

Yan,

this is the most beautiful moment of my life.

Shame

you can't see it anymore.

Good thing I can't.

The sister I imagined

was never

married off like this.

How unfortunate for you, then.

(Heaven-Earth Hall) You're staying with me

in the mortal realm until the very end.

Wait.

Not everyone's here yet.

Why rush?

♪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♪
