Episode 20

18

Greetings, Princess.

19

How many days have it been? There are still no news of His Majesty?

20

Office of Divine Strategy has already sent out 12 Falcon Cavalry to secretly inform the different prefects to look for His Majesty.

21

What's the use of several secret agents? Why are you not sending out the main army?

22

Presently, Liangguo's army is stationed in our borders and is watching covetously.

23

We're currently at a time of numerous conflicts, the hearts of the people are unstable.

24

The different marquis have agreed to not publicize this matter.

25

What time is it now?

26

If something bad happens to Cousin, let's see who among you can bear to shoulder the consequences!

27

I am willing to follow His Majesty until death!

28

Reporting!

29

- General Qin, urgent report.

- What is it?

30

Based on the report, 10 days ago, His Majesty and his men encountered an ambush from the Liangguo Army in Mt. Luoye.

31

Have you seen His Majesty?

32

His Majesty's whereabouts is still unknown, but none of his personal bodyguards was lucky

33

and have all died for the nation.

34

How many enemies did they encounter?

35

There are approximately 200 enemy corpses in the mountain.

36

When His Majesty went out to hunt that day, he only brought 18 personal guards.

37

They disguised themselves as commoners and wasn't wearing any armor.

38

I'll go look for father to discuss countermeasures.

39

Princess!

40

[Marquis Nanping Manor]

41

You haven't been married off and you dare such words?

42

That is so scandalous.

43

Cousin and I have been arranged to be married for 18 years.

44

The marriage was personally set my the former king!

45

Who in the whole Huaiwu doesn't know about it and dared to laugh about it?

46

I've long considered myself a member of King Yi's family.

47

I swear to live and die with him.

48

If he comes back alive, that's to everyone's delight and satisfaction.

49

If any untoward events happen to him, then I'm his widow!

50

I won't have any complaints.

51

You're my only daughter.

52

You saying such words is going to cut my heart.

53

I am unfilial. I've caused father to be upset.

54

I'm sincerely telling you what I feel to let you understand

55

that for Cousin, there is nothing that I can't gamble with!

56

I understand. I understand them all.

57

Okay already...

58

Quickly get up. Don't panic.

59

I also just received the news and discussed it with the Prime Minister Fu and the others.

60

Now that there are troubles both internally and externally. we have to come up with a perfect strategy.

61

In battles, time is of the essence. I'll wait for you until the zi hour (11 pm to 1 am).

62

If you still can't come up with a plan,

63

I will go ahead and take my Flying Phoenix Army to Mt. Luoye to look for him.

64

Don't put yourself in danger.

65

Just leave this matter to me.

66

Don't worry. I surely will convince Prime Minister Fu and the others to send men to fetch His Majesty back.

67

Thank you, father. I'll wait for your news then.

68

What does this mean?

69

You are deaf and mute, but you didn't lose an arm or a leg,

70

so how come I must assist you too in changing clothes?

71

Are doctors outside also required to help their patients change clothes?

72

Who made such a rule?

73

What are you dilly-dallying about? Hurry and help me dress up.

74

I'm a distinguished saintess, but I ended up attending to you?!

75

Those group of useless Liangguo people, who can't do anything right.

76

A military power that's 10 to 100 times greater was still unable to defeat one King Yi?

77

They still need us to take care of the sequelae.

78

Immediately lead an army to search Mt. Luoye.

79

What you can bring back is only his corpse.

80

I will abide.

81

All these good medicines that can cool the blood,

82

stop bleeding, dispel stasis, and remove poisons.

83

The medicine's sap will enter through the pores of your hands.

84

Curing both externally and internally can bring good effects.

85

Someone finally is going to wash these thorny herbs for me.

86

[Apply this white medicine externally.]

87

Apply this white medicine externally.

88

Always wearing a mask to face people.

89

Very good in medical techniques. Very thorough in handling things.

90

Sometimes, ignorant to the ways of the world.

91

Could she be from the Sacred Healer Tribe?

92

This isn't an act of a gentleman.

93

Since she saved me, she won't harm me.

94

Everyone has their secrets.

95

If she's willing to treat me sincerely, she naturally will let me see it.

96

Thank you for these past days.

97

Have a good rest.

98

Although he's a bandit that have killed so many people,

99

after several days of interacting with him, he seems to be not that bad and can behave oneself.

100

Looks like, he was left with no choice that's why he ended up as a bandit.

101

Living in this chaotic times, everyone has it hard.

102

I should stop fooling him.

103

I must concentrate in healing him.

104

Miss, look at our wind chimes.

105

And this one, look. So pretty.

106

Buy one to take home.

107

Just walking on the streets and you still have to put on a concealing barrier?

108

Acting so sneakily.

109

Could he be some spy?

110

[Gucheng Royal Palace]

111

Offer a reward to the spies and demons under you

112

to give all their effort in searching and arresting the remnants of the Soul Destroying Tribe. Look for the Soul Destroying Arrow.

113

How many are these Soul Destroying Tribe remnants and arrows?

114

Your Majesty, can you give me some clues?

115

Each one counts.

116

No need to take the first Soul Destroying arrow back here.

117

Directly go to the mortal world to attack Xu Feng.

118

If you're able to catch any remaining descendant of the Soul Destroying Tribe

119

or any news about their whereabouts, immediately report back to me.

120

Mu Ci? Xu Feng.

121

- I will abide.

- If this news gets out...

122

Trespassing into my palace.

123

Eavesdropping on my beam and behind my back.

124

Is that what your Biancheng Royal Palace taught you?

125

If you want to kill me, then do it. No need to involve my father.

126

You...I will kill,

127

but I also won't leave your father alive.

128

I'm sure that Demon King is also within your scheming.

129

Secretly gathering the Soul Destroying Arrow

130

and members of the Soul Destroying Tribe behind Demon King's back.

131

Your wolf-like ambition is so obvious.

132

Kill her.

133

Liu Ying, you kept foiling my plan.

134

Spread my decree, say that it's the order of Demon King,

135

kill Biancheng's Liu Ying.

136

I will abide.

137

Give me a sound.

138

I...am here.

139

- You broke the rule!

- I didn't.

140

Your body surely has moved. And you at least stepped back by a foot, even the red yarn ball has fallen down.

141

- My head isn't square. How can a round object like this stably stand on it?

- Let's measure it then.

142

Before I threw the dart, we were at least one zhang from each other,

143

which is around 10 feet.

144

That one by yours is too short. It's inaccurate. This one is the standard foot.

145

Old fox, you must have tampered on this red string.

146

Hateful Ji, don't you know to tamper things too?

147

Your darts have never hit the target. You know very well how bad your skills are.

148

If not because I stepped by a little earlier.

149

This red string ball would have a bleeding hole on it already.

150

So, you admitted that you broke the rule.

151

I am not a mortal in your wheel of karma and fate, who you can just batter and manipulate.

152

If you won't let me manipulate you, what then are we going to play about?

153

So annoying.

154

Yes... So boring. Phoenix isn't here, even Jin Mi isn't here.

155

It's really good mountains, good river, but so boring. Lonely, feels empty, so cold.

156

I don't even have the drive to tie some red strings.

157

It's always me who manipulated the mortals. But since these two went down to the mortal world to experience trials,

158

a distinguished Grand Minister of Nine Truths of the Sky like me

159

is now being manipulated by others.

160

So not fun.

161

May I ask if Moon Immortal is here?

162

Little Jin MI! You're finally back!

163

Did you successfully go through your trials? What about Baby Phoenix? Did he not return with you?

164

Did you get confused or your eyes got blurry?

165

This is the daughter of Immortal Tai Si, Immortal Kuang Lu.

166

My eyes are very good. This little Kuang Lu looks very similar to little Jin Mi.

167

You indeed can't see clearly anymore because of old age.

168

How come I remember that there is also a Kuang Lu working in my eldest nephew's Xuanji Palace?

169

Moon Immortal has good memory. I am indeed the Kuang Lu from Xuanji Palace

170

and the Kuang Lu from Tai Si Manor.

171

Come... Little Kuang Lu, why did you come to see me?

172

Do you want to ask about your marriage fate or ask for a red string?

173

Today is my father's birthday. As ordered by my father, I'm inviting you two

174

to go to Tai Si Manor with me for some drinks and listening to operas.

175

Oh, my, this was too sudden. We didn't prepare any gifts.

176

It's just an ordinary birthday celebration. My father doesn't want any grand banquet.

177

He just wants invite the immortals he's close with to gather and have some fun.

178

Giving any gifts is against the initial intention of my father.

179

It's still Immortal Tai Si who have given it a thorough thought.

180

We are just feeling so bored here and a coincidental matter like this happened.

181

We'll respectfully accept the invitation then. Let's go.

182

Wait!

183

Old Fox, what is it now?

184

Run Yu is committing sins.

185

Such a fresh and vibrant young girl like you.

186

So soft that you can produce juices by pinching it.

187

But just to comply with that cold and bland style of his,

188

he had you wear something so plain like that. It's really maddening.

189

- It's not his fault. It's me who—

- Okay already. Don't say it anymore.

190

Those who knows know that you just came from Xuanji Palace.

191

Those who doesn't know would think that you're going to a funeral.

192

Immortal Tai Si is having a birthday party,

193

but seeing that her daughter is wearing such unpresentable clothes, he must feel so upset.

194

A mouth of a fox can never produce any good words. What's fashionable in the Heavenly Realm now is simple and elegant.

195

Who will like to be like you, a thousand year old flower branch swaying in the breeze with unalterable taste?! So gaudy!

196

You're elegant? From afar, you look like a fog. When looked closely, you look like a ball of smoke. Not man or woman-like. Not yin or yang.

197

These thousands of years, it's fine if you don't want to have any romantic relationships, but you kept coming here!

198

You're destroying my reputation!

199

Hateful fox, do you want me to throw you into that wheel of karma and fate too for a stroll?

200

Stroll into the mortal world to experience separating from the one you love?

201

Immortal was indeed reasonable. It is father's birthday after all.

202

It's better to wear something lively. You two go ahead first.

203

I'll just go back to change my clothes.

204

Hey, wait! I have something ready here.

205

206

So stunning. Come...

207

Those vivid eyes are so lovely. Those dimples when you smile are so pretty.

208

After all, youth is a wonderful time. No matter how you put on your make-up, it suits you.

209

Do you like it?

210

I like it. Thank you to you two.

211

Alike. So alike.

212

Are you really not Jin Mi's missing little sister?

213

May I know what kind of woman does His Highness Night Deity like?

214

He probably likes someone like me.

215

Do I really look like her?

216

In his eyes, anyone who wears red is good.

217

All look the same. He lacks sight.

218

Don't mind him.

219

Why would I?

220

Immortal Jin Mi is the top beauty among the six realms.

221

She's beautiful and kind. I envy her a lot.

222

Comparing me to her is over praising me.

223

I really like you, so I'm gifting you some red string to play with.

224

Although I don't control the marriage fates of immortals, but keeping it for good luck is nice too.

225

Thank you, Immortal.

226

Can you gift me one more?

227

What's wrong?!

228

I'm cured...

229

I'm fine. I'm fine. I just slipped.

230

My skin and flesh is quite coarse and thick. I'm used to it.

231

I'm fine.

232

Never thought that these past days, we've developed some tacit understanding.

233

When I slipped earlier, you just happened to ran out here.

234

Looks like you slept well last night.

235

I added some sedative in your medicines.

236

I saw you sleeping so soundly this morning.

237

Unlike how you slept before, shouting and kicking.

238

You finally were able to have a worry-free sleep.

239

It must be hard to live dangerously everyday.

240

Okay already. Okay already. Go in.

241

I can do it on my own. Go in and rest. Go.

242

How is it? How are you feeling today?

243

After missing for so many days, it must be chaotic now outside.

244

If she knew that I can talk, she surely will have a lot of questions about my identity.

245

The current situation is too complex. I don't clearly know her background and it's inconvenient to drag her into this.

246

The lesser she knows about me, the safer she is.

247

Just like yesterday.

248

Did you sense any vibration?

249

I've been practicing medicine for 15 years and is quite an expert in prescribing the right medicine based on a symptom.

250

Technically speaking, based on my prescription, he should have recovered in less than 3 days.

251

It's already more than 10 days, but how come he's not improving? Could it be my diagnosis is wrong?

252

Too bad...I'm causing your painstaking efforts to go to waste.

253

No need to worry. Saving you here in the mountain is a kind of fate.

254

For a doctor, there's no discrimination on who to save.

255

As long as you are willing to sincerely do good,

256

I surely will help you recover soon.

257

Divine Buddha above, Crow went astray in life. If he can be fully cured,

258

I surely will urge him to put down his killing weapons and mend his evil ways.

259

Why are you looking at me?

260

Why do you wear a mask all day?

261

I look so beautiful. If I just casually remove my mask and let you see my face,

262

what if you develop evil ideas because of it, won't I be looking for my own death?

263

Creating problems for oneself.

264

My face is unbearably ugly.

265

Where did you come from? Have you lived here for a long time?

266

You actually dared to doubt my medical skills?

267

I won't tell you that I'm the saintess of the Sacred Healer Tribe.

268

Too bad, I already know. But...you actually are the saintess?

269

Are there no one left in the Sacred Healer Tribe?

270

I came from where I came from. I go to where I should go. My whereabouts are not definite.

271

May I ask for your name?

272

Name? Of course I must avoid telling it to you.

('ming hui' is a more respectful way of asking for someone's name, but 'hui' here literally means taboo/avoid)

273

You are indeed a bandit who is ignorant of proper etiquette.

274

Forget it. You can't hear it anyway. My name is Jin Mi.

275

I only hope that you may remain like the bright and flourishing flowers and be free from worry.

276

Live the rest of one's life in an ordinary manner like a dull cloud and flowing water. Great, right?

277

No name or surname. Just passing by the mortal world.

278

When will the sky clear?

279

Only by then can I go gather herbs for you.

280

Jin Mi.

281

You also miss MI'er?

282

Don't worry. She'll be back soon.

283

Naughty. Okay already. Go play on your own.

284

Why are you dressed like that?

285

Today is father's birthday. I just got back from Tai Si Manor. I've told you about it.

286

Quickly go back to rest.

287

Also, don't wear like that tomorrow. It's too garish.

288

Does Your Highness find this sunset silk ugly?

289

I don't like red.

290

This is the red...

291

...fermented red rice with sweet dew wine that my father personally brewed. He told me to bring it to you.

292

I appreciate his kindness. But my alcohol tolerance is bad. Just keep it for yourself.

293

Although this wine can't compare to Immortal Jin Mi's osmanthus wine,

294

it has another level of meaning.

295

This wine is also called 'Jade Flask, Red Heart'.

296

Cold and clear jade flask, the red heart of a newborn.

(Morally clean and incorruptible; Passionately loyal to one's nation.)

297

This deep meaning of Immoral Tai Si would indeed make me impolite to refuse it.

298

The fancy carps here are beautiful.

299

Just like...a dragon in the sky.

300

Fish is a fish. A dragon is a dragon. How can they look alike?

301

Both have scales and tails.

302

And everyone says, 'The carp jumps across the dragon gates'.

303

Maybe a dragon is a transformed fancy carp?

304

Just hearsay. When have you seen a real dragon?

305

I did. I see him from day to night.

306

I...just haven't seen his real form yet.

307

But...that dragon I know

308

is a true modest and self-disciplined man. Being modest to cultivate one's moral character.

309

Cutting and grinding. Grinding and polishing. Warm and humid like a jade.

310

I think that you're quite drunk today,

311

hence, I'll forgive you for being this disrespectful to your superior.

312

What are you laughing about?

313

Your Highness, you finally got angry.

314

Go back and sober up.

315

I am not drunk. After serving you for so long,

316

it was rare to see you happy or unhappy.

317

Only when Immortal Jin Mi is around

318

would Your Highness show some slight happiness on your face.

319

When you're unhappy, you never let Immortal Jin Mi knows.

320

Your Highness, you would just cry alone.

321

Silently swallowing your grievances and pain.

322

Every time I see you like that,

323

I feel so tormented.

324

Today, Your Highness got mad right in front of me.

325

You didn't hide it anymore or suffer on your own. This is a good thing.

326

Hope Your Majesty can be like this more, expressing your real feelings.

327

Stop keeping your pain and problems

328

all stuffed in your heart. Even if you scold me

329

or throw a fit on me, I will be happy.

330

Do you admit to the crime of spying on a shangshen?

331

I admit it.

332

May Your Majesty just punish me as you want, as long as you feel happy.

333

Today, I won't go after it, but listen well.

334

I haven't fallen to the point of needing your pity and compassion.

335

Of course.

336

Your Highness is a dragon, the son of Heavenly Emperor.

337

You have the most honorable and most powerful existence here in Heavenly Realm.

338

You don't need anyone's pity. Even if at present, the dragon is temporarily pushed aside on the shallow bank,

339

the dragon hides in the water and not being used, it's actually no big deal. One day,

340

you'll be able to wait for the clouds to open up and the dragon soaring in the sky.

341

Red string from the Fated Love Manor?

342

What do you mean?

343

I asked this from Moon Immortal.

344

No other meaning. Just asking for some good luck.

345

Hope all your wishes will come true,

346

proceed to where your heart desires,

347

and that you and Immortal Jin Mi can come to fruition as soon as possible.

349

Uncle!

350

Uncle!

351

Uncle!

352

Un...

353

Look! A centipede!

354

What? Did this shock you? Afraid now?

355

A centipede. I plan that in a few days—

356

In a few days, I plan to include that in your medicine.

357

You swallowed it?

358

You ate it? Are you a rooster?

359

That's good too.

360

The beneficial effect is way stronger this way then drying it.

361

When I fought with Liangguo last year, I got trapped in a poisonous gorge for 8 days. It's all thanks to centipedes and scorpions filling up my stomach,

362

that I was able to conquer the natural barrier Yunling (Yun Mountain Ranges). You want to scare me?

363

Today, I caught some interesting little things at the cliff. Although this little thing's outside shell is very hard,

364

it's flesh is exquisite and soft. It looks delicious.

365

By then, I'll mix it in your medicine, so just take them all in.

366

I forgot. You can't hear me. It's this.

367

It's a snail. You actually are afraid of snails?

368

You are not afraid of something poisonous, but afraid of one that isn't?

369

You're so interesting.

370

Okay. Okay. I'll include this in your medicine then.

371

It's been a long time and your illness hasn't been treated. Try this medicated bath today.

372

Okay.

373

You're a bandit, so you should be rough and dark.

374

Instead, you look like an enchantress.

375

What did the book say again?

376

Right, right.

377

Your lips are red and your eyebrows are black without any makeup.

378

Your skin is like cream, your complexion is of a peach's color.

379

That's a perfect description of you. For sure!

380

You are also literate.

381

In your bandit group, if you're not the boss,

382

you're at least an adviser or a well-respected member.

383

I'm so smart.

384

No, no!

385

You need to soak in a little more to get rid of the poison in your body.

386

Stay in longer.

387

Clear out the residual poison.

388

Knives, guns, swords, halberd. Hatchet, ax, hook, fork.

389

Whip, hammer, rod, lance.

390

Tonfa, meteor hammer.

391

How many times have you fought before

392

to have scars from all 18 of these weapons?

393

I pulled you out of a pile of dead people and used so much effort to treat you.

394

Now, your life is very expensive! You wasted so much of my medicines.

395

In the future, you must stop tormenting yourself.

396

I already made a wish the other day. Once you get better, I'll make sure you turn to the good side.

397

Wash your hands of your old line of work!

398

Fine. You are so naggy.

399

When will you stop touching me?

400

This is called Caterpillar fungus.

401

It nourishes your kidney and lungs. It is good medicine for reinforcing your vital essence.

402

Can't hear.

403

They live in the high mountains.

404

For half their lives, they're caterpillars, and fungus for the other half.

405

Although the caterpillars die during the winter, they become good medicine that can save people during the summer.

406

They break out from the earth.

407

Compared to flowers and butterflies, this is the truer definition of "rebirth"

408

and "metamorphosis".

409

Let's hurry and go.

410

You live long-term in the deep mountains. Do you feel lonely?

411

Time passes quickly like a white pony's shadow. Everything is like fleeting clouds.

412

What, then, is loneliness?

413

I have to memorize so many medical and pharmacology books,

414

along with trying and practicing medicine-making,

415

and dealing with the elders of the tribe.

416

There is no time to feel lonely.

417

Instead, those scholars and poets, who have nothing better to do, like to moan and groan for no reason.

418

Can she tell that I'm pretending to be deaf and mute?

419

Ya Ya, I realized that whenever I'm with you, I feel a sense of unprecedented carefreeness.

420

Maybe it's because you can't hear

421

so I can speak my mind.

422

I don't need to be as pretentious as I usually am,

423

acting like the chief of a tribe,

424

speaking as if I'm an elder,

425

and can only speak after careful considering.

426

Ya Ya, you are the world's best listener.

427

Strange.

428

Why have I been feeling palpitations recently?

429

[Fated Love Manor]

430

This is the right place.

431

Uncle.

432

Immortal Taiji just forced some cups of millet wine down my throat,

433

so I've been walking as if I was floating. I thought I ended up at your Xuan Ji Palace.

434

Eldest Nephew, you've always liked the quiet.

435

What's wrong today? Were you too lonely,

436

and wanted to get a Red Thread from me?

437

I'm here to return a Red Thread.

438

Kuang Lu is young and ignorant, and she randomly got a Red Thread from you.

439

It is due to a lack of teaching on my part. Please forgive me, uncle.

440

It's just a Red Thread. Just keep it for fun.

441

If you find anyone you like, tie it on her!

442

Uncle, you are joking around again.

443

Of this entire Heavenly Realm, everyone knows who I like.
