Dance of the Sky Empire

Episode 3

Do you have a thing for me?

I...

Say it out loud, if you like me.

You don't have to touch me all over my body.

You're shameless, aren't you?

Am I?

It's you who touched me all over my body.

Why am I the shameless one?

You're shameless.

To be frank, Su Youlian,

don't provoke me anymore.

Some little girl like you, I won't have a thing for.

Do you get it?

Raffish.

Take your time.

You failed to get the token, didn't you?

I got an idea.

But when I wanted to search him, he's…

What?

Anyway, Li Xuan is a poor guy.

Master, don't worry.

I'll figure out something else.

Youlian,

the welcome party is about to begin.

Let's go attend it.

You can go first.

I'll go there soon.

Okay, but hurry.

Master,

I'm gonna attend the welcome party.

I have no idea

what the welcome party really is,

but there must be fun with so many people.

You don't come here for fun.

Remember what you should do.

I get it.

Why do you catch me here?

Old bastard.

You don't have the nerve to release me, do you?

Let's have a fair and square fight.

I'm not in a good state now.

We can fight some other day.

Old bastard.

I've promise to have a fight some other day.

Why did you leave the token in my place yesterday night?

Take it back.

You think I don't know the story, don't you?

Going into and out of the Mysterious Land without any restraint.

You think I've no idea that

the Dragon Emperor of the Kunwu clan is locked in it.

It's good that you know it.

As a Nation-Protecting Master,

protecting the Clan of Human Being

and preventing the curse of Kunwu Saintess from coming true

are supposed to be your responsibilities.

So,

you should take good care of

the token.

Why should I be a Nation-Protecting Master?

I've never promised you.

It's…it's you who entrusted position to me.

It doesn't count.

Does it?

I've heard that

you've been making a mess outside

in the name of the Nation-Protecting Master.

Okay.

Now that you're not willing to be a Nation-Protecting Master,

I'll announce the public tomorrow.

From now on,

you're no longer the Nation-Protecting Master of the State of Tianqi.

You

think about it.

Will those who were offended by you

give you a good time?

You…

Master,

it is negotiable.

It's not.

The ten-year term is about to expire.

The Kunwu clan is ready

and waits for a right time to take action.

You should obediently stay in the Moyun Ancient Academy

to learn more magic arts.

The you'll be able to protect our Clan of Human Being.

Nope. Master.

Listen to me,

it's useless to give it to me.

I'm not able to guard it.

I'm not qualified.

The public won't trust me.

Haven't you been inquiring about

the news of your mother?

Well,

I promise you.

As long as you obediently stay in the Academy

and guard the token,

you can go anywhere you want

and I won't stop you

when the ten-year term expires smoothly.

Are you sure?

Look at me,

am I cheating you?

Old bastard, we make a deal.

If you do cheat me,

I'll get into the Mysterious Land

and release the Dragon Emperor to kill you all.

The welcome party tonight is such an important occasion.

Why won't you attend it?

Isn't it a great chance for you to make some friends.

I've got admitted by the Academy smoothly.

There's no need to rush to make some friends.

What do you think of Li Xuan?

Not that good.

The State of Tianqi entrusting the Nation-Protecting Master to him,

there will be a mess sooner or later.

I think he's someone who can get acquainted with.

Now that Lord Zi can entrust the national security to him,

he can't be a mediocre one.

See. See,

it's lively.

Come here. Come here. This way.

It's over there. Okay.

It's great. It's great.

Schoolmate Su.

I'm coming.

See.

Youlian,

come here.

Where's Changqing?

Why hasn't he come?

I have no idea.

Do you want any?

Yanran, it's so lively here.

Both original students and the newly admitted are together here.

Yeah.

See,

the students over there are two grades higher than us.

And there,

those are one grade higher.

Are they wearing the uniform of the Academy?

It looks so good.

Mentor has said

we can also wear it later.

Yanran.

Yanran, come here.

Why are you together with the wild girl?

It's too incompatible with your status.

Sister, don't say it to Youlian.

We're schoolmates.

So what?

I can't talk about her just because we're schoolmates?

Youlian,

my sister always talks like this.

Please don't mind.

You rascal!

I'll get rid of you for the people.

What are they doing?

They're horsing around.

Girl Schoolmate,

why are you so fierce?

Move away.

How does this small potato provoke you?

He's harassed me.

I…

Harass you? I can't see it.

Yeah.

Me either.

I'd rather be punched to death by you

than face such huge humiliation.

Okay. You'll get what you ask for.

Princess Yunshan.

Why do your Tianqi people have to say so many words before a fight?

Is there any misunderstanding between you two?

What's wrong?

I collided with the princess today.

It's really my fault.

But

the princess said I harassed her on purpose.

I won't admit it.

Your negligence?

We walked on such a broad road,

but you collided with me anyway.

Right. Right.

Right.

She's right. You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Nope.

I… I…

I was reading a book when I was walking.

I was focusing on the book so much

that I collided with the princess.

And my hand touched the princess by accident.

I didn't want to harass her.

Of course you won't admit it.

I won't let you go today, no matter what happens.

Stop it. Stop it.

He said he didn't do it on purpose.

Besides,

who really cares you?

You…

Okay. Okay. Okay.

It's my fault for sure.

Princess Yunshan is supposed to get angry.

You shouldn't blame Princess Yunshan.

Xiao Fengming,

are you an idiot?

We're defending you.

Why do you talk on her side?

I'm just talking about the thing.

I'm saying sorry to you, Princess Yunshan.

Let's go. Go. Go.

The Crown Prince is coming.

His Highness is coming.

His Highness is coming.

Come here. Come here. Come here.

It has nothing to do with me.

You hurry to come here.

We're bowing to you, Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Haven't I told you

I'm here to enjoy the party with the people?

Why… why are you standing here?

Get out.

Don't be so overcautious, everyone.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Everyone should move to the middle.

Then we can get closer.

I…

I…

I'm just an ordinary person in a court dress today.

Talking about talent,

I might go far behind all of you.

We're flattered, Your Highness.

You're the youngest generation of talents

of my Empire State of Tianqi.

The future of the state

is decided

more by you

than me.

The reason that I come here

isn't because of anything else

but to get close with everyone.

Everyone,

enjoy yourselves.

So will Your Highness.

Rise.

See,

our senior sisters and brothers are dancing so well.

I heard that you've been working on it for more than a month.

Are you kidding?

Of course not.

You mean, why is none of our classmates able

to dance on the stage?

There's one.

It's Cui Pianran.

Who is Cui Pianran?

She's Cui Pianran, isn't she?

This one?

Are you kidding? Can she dance?

Of course she can.

She's the best dancer of the Academy.

Is she?

Yep.

Schoolmate Cui.

Schoolmate Cui.

What?

I've heard you dancing skills are exquisite.

Am I honored to

see your excellent dance?

Yeah.

We are here to see you dance.

Aren't we?

Dance for us.

Dance for us.

Dance for us.

Right. Right.

Forget it. Forget it.

I won't dance today.

Why? Dance for us.

Schoolmate Cui,

you're a vision with exquisite dancing skills.

You should dance on the stage on behalf of us.

Dance for us.

Yeah. Dance for us.

We all want to see.

Dance for us, please.

Okay.

It's fine.

Since you insist on it,

I will show you.

Great. Great.

Great. Great. Great.

Great. Great.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo.

You deserve the reputations.

Of course.

Miss Cui,

you do amaze us.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

I've heard Su Youlian, Schoolmate Cui

comes from a frontier city,

but she's expert in singing and dancing.

Could you please allow Su Youlian to dance on the stage

to amaze us?

I can't.

I'm not the best dancer in our city.

Forget it.

Why?

That you refuse to perform

is because you despise your schoolmates

or you don't respect His Highness at all?

Yep. Yep.

Have a dance. Have a dance.

Have a dance. Dance for us.

You…

Since Miss Cui has mentioned me,

you will show me some respect, won't you?

I…

Forget it. She's so scared.

Don't push her too hard.

Who said I'm scared?

Great. Great.

Great. Great. Great.

She has the nerve.

Great.

Bravo.

Youlian is dancing so well.

Not exactly.

Just some insignificant skills.

Pianran,

how do you know

that girl can dance so well?

Great. Perfect.

Bravo.

Perfect.

She's dancing so well.

Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo.

Sister, what are you gonna do?

Move away.

You can dance so well, can't you?

I'll wait and see whether you can follow the Lingyun Song.

It's…

Perfect. She's dancing so well.

Why do I feel so familiar with the dance?

Why does it remind me of this?

Is it my illusion?

Bravo. Bravo.

It's said that with only one drum missed of the song,

the whole dance will be ruined.

Su Youlian can make it without any mistake.

Bravo.

Bravo. Bravo. Perfect dance.

Bravo. Bravo.

It's awesome. Great.

She dances so great. Perfect.

Schoolmate Cui, why are you leaving?

Sister, where are you going?

Schoolmate Cui.

Youlian, you dance so well.

Cui Pianran wanted to see you make fool of yourself.

She hasn't expected you hit the stage.

She got furious.

Miss Su, you dance

does glut my eyes.

Your Highness.

The Lingyun Song…

Are you bewitched?

You've been staring at Su Youlian,

since she finished dancing.

Idiot.

I'm looking at that incompetent crown prince.

Are you?

Of course.

I'm going to the loo.

Well, Miss Su,

I propose a toast to you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'm flattered, Your Highness.

Enjoy yourself.

Who?

Who is doing it to me?

Who?

Who is it?

Taking advantage of one

isn't what a gentleman should do.

Unfasten the rope.

Who takes the advantage of my negligence?

It's you, the Crown Prince, isn't it?

Do you think

you can trap me

with a jute bag like it?

Changqing.

Changqing.

Changqing.

Changqing.

Li Xuan,

you'll be dead today anyhow.

Changqing, why are you hiding behind?

Why not take action now?

It's…it's…

To tell you the truth,

the ten-year term of the curse is about to expire.

If you kill me, the Nation-Protecting Master,

can you take the responsibility

when the Dragon Emperor wakes up?

Do such a jerk like you quality for a Nation-Protecting Master?

To be honest,

I'm burying you here to get rid of the evil for the people.

Work harder.

Do it faster.

I can't pick up a toe-to-toe fight with the crown prince.

You're saying so many words when you're about to die.

Come to punch me.

Do you wanna cry?

Weren't you being uncompromising just now?

I wanna cry for you.

Are you out of your mind?

You're being buried instead of me.

Why do you have to cry for me?

Nothing.

I suddenly remember the second prince is about to return to the Qingtian City.

If you kill me in anger,

you might be convicted of

murdering a Nation-Protecting Master by His Majesty.

I'm fine with it.

But

the second prince will be able to take such a big advantage.

Let me analyze it for you.

The

death of me

doesn't matter,

but yours matters.

You're the crown prince.

You can't make any mistake,

not a one.

Or half of one.

He's right.

Now, the second brother is about to return to the imperial palace suddenly.

He must return for being a crown prince.

He might have already sent someone to watch me.

Your Highness.

Who?

Changqing.

Miss Su,

why do you come here?

Your Highness.

What do you want?

I'm here to notice you

most of the guests have left at the moment.

The Academy is about to set up a ward,

and any outsider isn't allowed to go in and out.

So

I suggest you should

leave with you guards first.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

I go back before the ward is set up every day.

Otherwise, I'm a dead man.

There's a rule like this, isn't there?

Have you… done enough?

You're… you're…

His Highness is talking.

You should show him some respect.

Li Xuan,

I'll let you go

this time.

Next time,

if I catch you again,

you won't be as lucky as this time.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you clear?

I'm clear. I'm clear. I'm clear.

I'm clear. I'm clear.

Let's go.

Take your time.

I'll invite you for tea some other day.

We should care for our own business later.

What are you doing?

Haven't you heard me?

Have you forgotten

when you were in the wardrobe last time,

it's I who saved you out?

You're requiting kindness with enmity, aren't you?

It's me.

It's me.

You're killing me.

Are you out of your mind?

I'll shout out.

Help.

Someone, help.

Help.

Keeping shouting.

All the people have gone back to dorms.

No one is gonna help you out, even if you shout loud enough.

Loud enough.

Loud enough.

Loud enough.

Help.

It's fine. It's been solid enough.

It has. Stop stepping on it.

How can you release me?

You want me to release you,

which is negotiable.

Give me your number one token.

My number one token?

My number one token?

You…you've almost driven me crazy.

You want the number one token, but why wouldn't you have requested me earlier?

What do you mean?

You merely want a number one token from me.

It's nothing.

You ask for it,

and I'll give it to you.

Do you have to do all this?

I can give it to you now.

Nope.

The number one token is hung on my waist belt.

I'm not able to take it out now.

Or else,

you release me first,

and then I'll give you the token. Okay?

Is the token hung on my waist belt?

You're not lying to me, Li Xuan?

When do I lie to anyone?

I've never lie to someone.

Dig me out, if you don't trust me.

What else are you doing?

Do you think I'm a fool?

I'm waiting here.

You're gonna die

out of breath

in an hour.

Then I'll dig you out

and take the token away.

That will be perfect.

You're too naïve.

Do you think I'm that silly?

To be honest,

such an important thing like the number one token,

how could I take it with me randomly?

I've hidden it in a secret place

where no one in the world would know except me.

Li Xuan,

tell me where the token is,

and I'll release you.

You release me first,

and I'll tell you where the number one token is.

Li Xuan, if you don't tell me now,

you'll wait for death here.

Okay. I'll tell you.

The token is…

You're awesome.

I put the token…

It's in…

You're awesome.

The token…

The token…

The token…

You're awesome.

Where is the token?

Li Xuan.

You…

you don't play the trick on me.

You're lying to me again.

Li Xuan.

What should I do? What should I do?

He shouldn't have choked, should he?

If he died for real,

no one would know where the token is.

Well,

I remember my master has said before

that artificial respiration

could save someone of sudden cardiac arrest.

What are you doing?

You wake up.

It works.

Were you kissing me secretly?

You were kissing me secretly.

I…

I weren't.

Stop your nonsense.

It's because…

When you were talking,

you suddenly choked.

You stopped talking to me.

So…so…

So you should save your nonsense.

I weren't.

Are…are you clear?

Yeah.

You were kissing me secretly.

I weren't.

I understand.

I don't blame you.

It's my fault.

Someone who is as handsome

and talented as me

will inevitably attract someone like you.

I totally understand.

It's okay. You can

take advantage of me when I'm too weak

and exhausted

to fight against you.

Do it,

as you want.

You jerk, Li Xuan.

What a jerk!

I…

The token.

I'm cheated by him again.

Don't be lazy.

Follow me.

I think

that's it.

Boss…boss is coming.

Come on. Let's go.

Youlian, this way.

This seat is available.

Boss.

Boss.

Xiao Fengming,

haven't I told you to keep away from me

for more than fifteen meters?

But it's the place closest to the outside.

Then you can sit outside.

Boss.

Boss.

Don't call me this way in the Academy later.

Go back to your seats.

Okay, Boss.

Okay, Boss.

Go.

Why hasn't Li Xuan come today?

Youlian,

what dance did you perform yesterday?

It looked pretty.

It did.

Young Master,

do you really wanna provoke the crown prince?

We can have another crown prince,

but there's only one Nation-Protecting Master.

Why are you looking at me?

Why are you looking at me?

Go back. Go back.

Stop it.

Give me the token.

The token?

What token?

You had made a deal yesterday.

I let you go,

and you would give me the token.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered.

You almost buried me yesterday night.

You…

Yesterday night?

Was there anything that I don't know happening yesterday night?

It's too interesting.

Yesterday night, she almost did…

You're a jerk.

Stand up.

Classmate Li,

it's my seat.

I…

…I get it. I'm leaving.

What a bully!

What are you doing?

What?

I didn't do it on purpose.

You.

I did it on purpose this time.

You're boring.

The mentor is coming.

Bow to you, Mentor.

Sit down, please.

I'm your professor of national history,

Mentor Xuan Ming.

Today,

I'll talk about the big battle

that happened when the state was founded to you.

Look at it.

In the first year of the State of Tianqi,

there was a big battle between the Kunwu clan and human clan

in the Fengwei Valley.

Over a long period,

the Kunwu clan had ridden roughshod over our human clan.

Besides, the Dragon Emperor of Kunwu was being cruel and violent,

which made our Clan of Human Being live in an abyss of misery.

On the battlefield in the Fengwei Valley,

facing with the cruel Dragon Emperor,

troops of our clan were courageous.

the battle remained deadlocked

due to the inherent spiritual power of the Dragon Emperor, Shi Xingyu.

Later, Lord Zi used his spiritual power to set up a formation.

In the formation,

Lord Zi attacked the Dragon Emperor

by soil, fire and thunder.

Right at the last attack of Lord Zi,

Jiu Ling'er, the Saintess of Kunwu,

transformed to an iced cocoon to protect the Dragon Emperor.
