Dance of the Sky Empire

Episode 6

You are supposed to be in your best years,

but you have become a courtesan.

It's so pathetic.

God is jealous of such a beauty like you.

Are you ready, Jing?

Everyone is waiting for you, Jing.

Jing?

Changqing, are you asleep?

Not yet.

I can't sleep either.

You know what I'm thinking?

Miss Su.

How do you know that?

Because I'm thinking about her too.

What?

You are thinking about Miss Su?

Do you have a crush on her?

I'm just wondering

why Cui Pianran did harm to Miss Su.

If we didn't get there in time,

I'm afraid Miss Su

would have been dead.

Indeed.

I can't help feeling there's something weird behind this.

Who is that?

Xiao Fengming?

Xiao Fengming?

Xiao Fengming knows fighting skills?

What is going on?

Changqing!

Your Highness!

No!

Come out.

No.

Xiao Fengming, please come out of there.

Princess Yunshan, I…

Xiao Fengming,

I'm going to kill you.

Stop!

Pervert!

Stop!

-Stop! -You pervert!

How dare you peep at Her Highness in her bath!

Pervert!

Fengming, oh Fengming,

I didn't expect you were this kind of man!

You came to peep at her when she was taking a bath!

I, I didn't.

It's a wrong accusation.

You didn't?

What were you doing here if you didn't do it?

I was sleepwalking.

I've got sleepwalking disorder.

Sleepwalking?

Yes.

Still trying to get out of it?

I'm going to kill you now!

Wait a minute please.

Princess Yunshan,

I do have sleepwalking disorder.

I can't sleep well ever since childhood.

Whenever I sleepwalk,

I don't know what I'm doing

or where I am.

My neighbors

can prove it.

Look, Yunshan.

Calm down.

He claims that he has sleepwalking disorder.

I'm going to ask around and find out the truth tomorrow morning.

If he does have that, we can let him go.

If he doesn't, we can kill him at any time.

Princess Yunshan,

I'm absolutely not that despicable.

I won't believe that.

Kill him.

He deserves it.

He already deserves a death penalty for peeping at you when you were taking a bath.

Moreover,

whether he was intentional or not,

his life is worthless in the first place. Just kill him.

I don't kill people indiscriminately.

You're right!

It won't be too late if we find out the truth before killing him.

Get out!

Get out of here!

After we find out the truth, you'll be doomed.

Hurry up!

Your Highness?

What are you guys doing?

Explain yourself.

While you clearly knows fighting skills,

why did you pretend that you didn't?

What are you up to?

I don't know fighting skills.

Why didn't you dodge?

I…

Because I couldn't.

Still pretending…

Changqing!

Not in the head!

Don't hit me! Don't hit me!

No!

Don't hit me!

Don't hit me in the head!

Don't hit me! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!

No!

Young Master,

judging from his behavior,

I think he really doesn't know how to fight.

You really don't know fighting skills?

I really don't!

It's impossible.

How could you hold up so long fighting him?

How can I know?

I have sleepwalking disorder!

Is it possible that he knows fighting skills

only when he's sleepwalking?

This is so strange!

Your Highness,

are you really going to let him off?

Haven't you had him checked already?

He does have sleepwalking disorder.

Since he didn't mean to do it,

I certainly won't make him pay for this.

Your Highness, you're so magnanimous.

He's not so dumb after all.

He could tell that he'd annoy you,

so he stayed out of your way.

But,

you have to watch out for him.

Who knows

what he will do next time?

If he dares do it next time,

I will definitely not let him off.

You're right, Your Highness.

Lord Zi,

Qingtian City is in total chaos now.

The Qilin incident must be tackled as soon as possible.

Since Li Xuan caused this,

let him take care of it.

This is not trivial.

Li Xuan doesn't have what it takes

to bring Qilin down.

If he doesn't try, how do we know what will happen?

Li Xuan was born the Nation-Protecting Master under heaven's command.

It's his duty and destiny to

protect the human clan.

The end of the ten-year period is coming soon.

And he's the only one who can save Tianqi.

So, let this Qilin be his test.

Yes.

Hey,

I thought it was Mentor Xuan Ming's class.

Why did Mentor in Chief Xie come?

Good day, Mentor in Chief Xie.

Sit down please.

I came here to discuss with you all

something important.

Last night, the ancient Qilin from Moyun Ancient Academy was

released from Qianyuan Pavilion

and killed many courtesans in a brothel,

causing complete chaos

and public panic.

Were the victims all brothel courtesans?

Exactly.

Several girls were killed last night alone.

How incredible this ancient Qilin is such a shameless old man!

The first place he went after the breakout was a brothel.

Pianran, let's stay out of it.

Be quiet.

It's not the time for chatting.

The Tianqi Emperor has been notified about

the chaos caused by the ancient Qilin.

His Majesty is in a rage

and has ordered our Moyun Ancient Academy to

capture him in three days.

Lord Zi is currently in practicing in seclusion.

We are the only ones

who can do the job now.

What?

He wants us to capture the Qilin?

And we must complete it in three days?

It's said that he has lived for thousands of years

and has strong magical power.

How can ordinary beings like us deal with him?

Go capture him if you can.

I won't do it.

Li Xuan,

what do you say?

Now that Qingtian City is in danger,

as the Nation-Protecting Master, it's my duty to capture it.

But…

Good!

That's what I need to hear from you.

Since you, the Nation-Protecting Master, have promised us,

the capture of Qilin is entrusted to you.

Within three days,

I hope you can re-seal the ancient Qilin.

Wait, Mentor in Chief!

The decision is final.

Thank you, on behalf of the citizens.

If you need any help,

Moyun Ancient Academy's disciples are

at your command.

Li Xuan,

you're commendable.

Good for you, Li Xuan.

You're amazing, Li Xuan.

What do we do?

Yeah.

Don't do it.

Li Xuan is doomed.

I won't do it.

All the odds are against him.

Yeah.

His face turned pale.

Li Xuan, I'll join you.

Bian Lingcheng?

I…

I'm studying the strategies against the Qilin.

Bian Lingcheng!

Count me in. I'm going too.

Count me in.

And my sister too.

I'm not going. Who said I'd go?

Come on. The Qilin is running amok now.

As the disciples of Moyun Ancient Academy,

it's absolutely our mission to capture the Qilin.

I know.

The point is…

The point is I must prepare for the Assembly of States.

And I still haven't practiced several movements well.

Look.

There's this

and…

and this.

So, I can't do it.

Can I join you guys?

You?

You're so weak.

You can't even kill a chicken.

Xuan, I can make magical battle circles.

Oh really?

Magical battle circles?

I'm going as well.

Yunshan? Welcome!

Our team is just in need of a fairy

with beauty and wisdom like you.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Guys,

this is exactly the moment for us to

show our competence.

Let's accomplish

the mission together, shall we?

I won't do it.

Well…

Count me in.

I, I need to practice dancing.

Bye.

-I have stuff to do. -Count me in.

What…

Why are you all gone?

Wait for me.

-I'm not going to do it. -Let's go.

Hey, you people

are truly friends!

You kept saying it was your duty to protect the empire.

And now, you all just run so quickly.

Come on!

Never mind.

It's just suicide anyway.

It doesn't matter how many of us die.

What is this place?

What are we doing here?

Baihua Pavilion.

We're here to track the Qilin.

Why must I wear a man's suit?

You jerk, I'm not going to do that.

Don't forget this.

You and I released the Qilin together.

Don't worry.

With me by your side, you can take advantage of anyone,

but no one can take advantage of you.

Let's go.

It's been a while, Miss Zhang.

Your business is still thriving.

It's thanks to you gentlemen's patronage.

To what do I owe this honor of your visit?

Mr. Li, the girls have practiced several songs

and have been waiting to sing them for you.

This… gentleman looks not so familiar.

It's your first visit?

I…

It's his first visit to Qingtian City.

I'm showing him around.

It's really my first time to see such a pretty gentleman.

Alright, Miss Zhang, I've got important questions to ask you.

-Mister. -How pretty you are!

Let's have some fun.

Is it your first visit?

-Li Xuan! Li Xuan! -Alright…

Alright…

Don't act like you haven't seen a man before.

Let him go.

Don't go.

Look how they frightened the little boy.

The girls just loved him.

Miss Zhang,

I heard that many girls of the city died,

including Baihua Pavilion courtesans, right?

Don't bring it up, Mr. Li.

What really happened?

God knows.

It was like, a beautiful girl was there

as usual,

and then she turned into bones in an instant.

Did those girls who died have anything in common?

What could they have in common?

Baihua Pavilion's girls are all

just pretty.

OK, Miss Zhang.

Please show me the roster.

OK?

OK.

Inside!

What happened?

Don't look.

Another person got murdered?

It's OK. I'm not afraid.

Let me take a look.

Are you sure?

Youlian!

Changqing.

How was it? Have you found anything?

I can't figure out several things.

Oh, how are you?

I'm fine.

You can't figure out several things?

What are they?

I can't figure out

why the Qilin ate brothel courtesans.

Didn't Miss Zhang say that

the courtesans were pretty?

In terms of looks, you look much better than they do.

It's getting late. Let's go back to the academy.

Hui from Baihua Pavilion?

Hui?

Bing from Chunfeng Garden?

Why did he choose them among all the girls?

Goal!

Can you take it seriously?

This Qilin jerk

is vicious,

but he's got taste.

All these girls are pretty.

You know them all?

Of course.

I know

every pretty girl in Qingtian City!

OK.

Tell me.

What did they have in common?

Pretty!

Tell me what I don't know.

And…

They all had

voluptuous curves.

All of them were top-notch hotties.

You're so…

Voluptuous curves?

I see.

What have you figured out?

Well, last time I saw that old Qilin,

he looked like a handsome gentleman.

It turns out he's an old womanizer!

Darn it!

It's outrageous.

When I capture that old Qilin,

I'm going to cut him into pieces

to avenge my pretty girls.

What's so funny?

Li Xuan, look at him.

What's so funny?

Xuan!

Xuan, are you in bed now?

Xiao Fengming?

Why did he come in the middle of the night?

What kind of scribble is this?

I can't read it.

Xuan,

this is the Octagonal Magical Battle Circles I have practiced for years.

There are the methods to contain the Qilin in it.

Mr. Feng, I know I can barely fight.

If you bring me along,

I will be your burden.

But if you acquire this Heaven-Earth Hexagonal Magical Battle Circle,

you can contain him.

It'll help you.

Mr. Xiao, let me sort it out.

It took even you

so many years to practice this sort of chart,

but you want us to learn it in a day?

What kind of idea is this?

W-Well, I didn't think about that.

What do we do?

Are you afraid of death?

No.

Join us.

OK.

This ancient Qilin is so evil.

Everyone wants him dead.

As a man of Tianqi, this is my obligation.

That is excellent!

Your magic battle circle is going to

boost our combat effectiveness.

Well,

that being said,

how do we

lure this old Qilin out?

I have an idea.

Li Xuan,

are you sure your idea is going to work?

Are you done yet?

Hurry!

Almost done. What's the rush?

-After you. -Don't push me. You first.

You! Go ahead. You go first.

You go first.

Just go.

Fengming looks pretty.

Changqing is… handsome.

You're a little bit ugly,

but that womanizer Qilin will definitely fancy you.

Don't say that.

Oh,

that Heaven-Earth Hexagonal Magical Battle Circle requires six people.

But there're only the four of us.

That's not enough.

I can fight.

So can we.

I don't think girls should do it.

That womanizer loves curves.

Do you have those?

We don't have those?

What are you talking about?

It seems Mr. Li is sure about the victory.

You still have the heart to frolic around.

Don't we have you both now?

So,

Li Xuan really has an idea?

Yes.

The disciples said so.

But I don't know what exactly it is yet.

In that case,

let's wait and see.

If Li Xuan can capture this ancient Qilin

in three days,

Lord Zi is right about him.

Mento in Chief.

Mento in Chief, Prince Mu is here.

That's great.

Please invite him in.

Yes.

Sirs, your disciple is reporting in.

Please skip the formalities, Your Highness.

The hexagon of heaven and earth,

infinity of universe,

make a capturing net.

Cast!

The hexagon of heaven and earth,

infinity of universe,

make a capturing net.

Cast!

The hexagon of heaven and earth,

infinity of universe,

make a capturing net.

Cast!

Why are you standing here?

You're pretending to be melancholy?

Is the magical battle circle ready?

Not yet. No rush.

Look at you.

You do look like a real girl now.

Had I not known you're a man,

I'd been fooled by you.

Y-You're pretty as well in a girl's dress.

The circle is ready.

Let's do this.

I'm so worried about the disciples.

Youlian.

Youlian.

Is Li Xuan's idea going to work?

Let's trust him.

Changqing, keep dancing.

Keep dancing.

How is it? Surprised?

Excited?

It seems successful.

So, he's the ancient Qilin?

But he doesn't look anything special.

What ancient Qilin?

How scary they described him to be!

It turns out he just looks ordinary.

An ancient animal is very cunning.

Let's be cautious.

Xuanxuan!

It's a misunderstanding.

It's a misunderstanding.

Youlian!

Let go. Let…

Xuanxuan!

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

This magical battle circle is of the superior divinity level.

But my spiritual power is too low.

I can't contain him.

Watch out!

Xuanxuan,

maybe we should retreat.

I must not retreat.

I released him.

I'm responsible for this.

I'm going to kill you!

X-Xiao Fengming!

Brother?

Get out of here.
