[Episode 21]

Shaodian Youqin was in the Beast Realm?

Seems like you guys

had a fruitful trip.

Second Prince pretended to retreat

as he was afraid that it might be a trap.

Your Majesty, he sent me back

to ask for your opinion.

That fool.

If there was truly an ambush,

he wouldn't need

to bring his consort with him.

Moreover, the immortals

always do things in an upright manner.

They do not apply dirty tricks.

Even if they were to exact revenge against the Void,

they wouldn't do it

in a neutral territory like the Beast Realm.

If so, Your Majesty means...

I thought something was off back then.

All who tried to repair Guixu had perished.

However, Shaodian Youqin was able to escape unscathed.

Now, it seems like

there's truly more to it than meets the eye.

According to you,

That Shaodian Youqin Yun encountered carried

much less powerful pure air than before.

So, no matter what happened to him,

this is a great opportunity

to strike.

Your Majesty is wise.

However, Chaofeng led the Void Patrol Battalion

and took the early initiative.

Your Majesty,

please lend us your strength.

Chaofeng?

I've prepared

a huge gift

for Chaofeng lately.

I was wondering how to send it to him.

Gather our men.

Depart to the Beast Realm immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Put your back into it!

Will this really work?

Desperate situations call for desperate measures!

Sir, you just had to fall out with Her Highness, huh?

Her Highness will never save us

even if we scream and shout.

Shut up!

You think I wanted to fall out with her?

I threatened her with our farewell

because I wanted her

to stay out of the soul shards' affair!

If Her Highness was that easily threatened,

we wouldn't need

to kill Zhu Jiuyin.

We wouldn't need to risk our lives

to get rid of that stupid Medical Restraint Order!

Am I right, sir?

Scram!

I'll scram.

I'll roll away.

Nice rock,

no more.

Sir, I wish to throw up.

Fire demon?

It's you?

I'm not the fire demon!

Why did you chase after me?

I do want to kill you.

But you guys apprehended us.

I'll kill you!

Sir!

Sir!

Youqin, have mercy!

Sir!

Calm down!

Youqin!

Youqin!

Youqin!

-I'll kill you! -I know.

He's a bad guy.

But don't worry.

He won't be able to kill you

when he's tied up by my Deity-Binding Rope.

I understand!

You're very angry. You disagree with us.

You wish to kill him.

You wish to...

I'm going to kill you!

Ziwu!

Do something about your brother!

Fiery,

we'll leave this to Di Lanjue.

I know you miss Qingkui.

What about this? I'll bring you to have

the liquor she had left for you.

Liquor!

Yeah, have some liquor.

I'm going to kill you!

Youqin!

She brewed it herself.

She brewed three vats for you.

Let's go!

Youqin, let's go and drink.

Let's go.

Kui.

Why aren't you willing to give up?

Dingyun is in the Beast Realm.

-What did you say? -What did you say?

That hurts.

I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

Comb my hair.

What do you think?

Hall Master,

it's been three days since we closed the shop.

Are we still doing business or not?

That's none of your business.

Run!

The Void Empress is attacking us!

-What? -Run!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Hurry!

-What's wrong? -Hurry up!

Run! I'll stall them!

Let's go!

Kui, be careful!

You're no match for me

without the magic array.

You guys are retreating, huh?

Seems like Mother was right.

It was just a bluff.

Today,

you will meet your end.

No.

Wait.

You guys are being so serious here.

I wonder which of my business

has offended you all.

Business?

The Devil of Void might be powerful,

but our hall master isn't someone to be trifled with either!

I suggest you release them immediately.

If not, our hall master will massacre you all

when he gets angry!

Hall Master, don't let them get their way.

Hall Master!

Heartless!

Heartless, are you okay?

Are you okay?

Hall Master!

Where are your powers?

So, you've been deceiving us all along?

I...

Over here.

I detect the princess's aura.

Over here!

It's all someone's fault.

They should've told us that Dingyun was here.

We shouted for you all!

You guys didn't hear us, okay?

Just hurry up.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Princess Yetan.

Your Highness, what's the matter?

I'm sure Tan is in trouble.

We can sense each other's pain.

Go and save the soul shard and the empyrean consort.

I can't take it anymore.

Sushui,

send Her Highness back to the inn.

Yes, sir.

We'll look for Dingyun.

Hurry!

Let's go!

Money!

Qingkui!

Money!

Money!

Money!

Are you okay?

Money!

Money!

Money!

Why are you so cold?

Money!

Money!

Money!

Money!

Money!

Wake up! Don't fall asleep!

Wake up!

Tan!

Chaofeng?

Ziwu!

Let's go.

Hurry, get up!

Come!

Kui!

Kui!

Dingyun, I'm here.

You guys should leave.

This is between us voidwalkers.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Chaofeng,

how dare you side with the immortals?

You're digging your own grave!

Dingyun,

you need your mother's help

to kill a person?

He's a mommy's boy indeed.

You!

You've remained hidden for a long time.

But the appearance of Shaodian Youqin

made you

reveal your true ambitions.

Remained hidden for a long time, huh?

You guys are no match for me

without my father.

Mother,

save your breath.

Let's just kill him.

Can't you tell?

We're no match for him.

But Chaofeng,

you've been outside for so long.

Do you still miss your mother?

Feng!

Mother?

Yingzhao!

How dare you kidnap a consort?

How dare you address me by my name?

Seems like you intend to drop the act.

But it makes sense.

We're already engaging each other in a fight.

It's pointless

to keep up the act.

I've lost to you so many times.

Now, I finally understand

your true powers.

Cave of Haunted Souls, Void Patrol Battalion,

and the crown princess's clinic

were all under you.

Ever since you and Yun left the realm,

I started planning

for this killer move.

Xue Qingxin

is your weakness.

By capturing her,

I have your life in my hands.

Feng!

Since I'm already captured,

I will surely be killed.

Just forget about me!

Leave this place

and never come back!

He could never do so.

No matter if it's his power

or his deviousness,

your son is truly one of a kind.

You and your mother have remained hidden

for over a millennium.

I thought you two were leading an honest life.

So, you were just hiding your true ability all along.

Your Majesty,

ever since the battle of Guixu,

the Void Tyrant has been favoring

Third Prince.

You kidnapped the consort

without any evidence.

I'm afraid the Void Tyrant

will punish you for that.

That's right.

I do fear that.

To put it bluntly,

we're all just fighting for the crown prince's throne.

As long as you promise me that you'll give up on the throne,

we won't need to fight.

Fine.

Words alone are no proof.

Take this pill.

It will seal your powers away.

If so, I will release you

and your mother.

If you try to break the seal by force,

your nerves and tendons will sever all at once,

making you a cripple.

I can only be at ease after you take this pill.

It's fine if you don't want to take it.

We shall fight each other

to death then.

Mother!

Fine!

I promise you!

Sir!

Feng!

How could you be so silly?

Sir!

Mother!

Let's go.

Mother,

are we going to let them off?

We should not strive for instant success.

If we get rid of him,

your father will never

let us off.

It's better if we make him useless.

When he has lost his value,

your father

will never pay attention to him again.

Once you become the crown prince,

everything will be under our control.

Di Lanjue,

why aren't we heading

to the Prince's Mansion?

Money.

Come here.

Fiery is still in Prince's Mansion.

We cannot let them meet each other.

Man said this place

is Heartless's territory.

Don't do this!

Okay.

Since you all risked your lives to save us,

you all must be Money's best friends.

I'm begging you guys.

Please save her.

Please.

This is Void Frost Poison.

I'm afraid there's no cure for it.

If it's truly Void Frost Poison,

not only will frost grow on her body,

but she'll also fall into a deep sleep, plagued by hallucinations.

She won't be able to wake up.

What am I doing here?

Tan.

Tan.

Come here.

Father wants you to play Chinese chess with him.

This set of Chinese chess is...

Tan, this is the first item

you gave me.

I always treasured it.

You knew that I made it?

I'm not that dumb.

Kui can never make

such crude items.

Give it back if you don't like it!

Tan, you made this for me

personally.

I love it.

Father cherished it so much

that he kept it in this hall.

Tan,

I've already discussed it with the Grand Preceptor.

Tomorrow,

you can join your sister

in school.

I can go to school now?

Of course.

Come and take a look.

See if you like it or not.

It's for me?

[The Book of Songs]

Tan, look at this.

[Liguang Yetan]

Liguang Yetan?

This is my name.

Father, did you crave it for me?

Father chose

his favorite pen

and carved your name on it.

Father.

(Money!)

(Don't sleep!)

(Money!)

(Wake up!)

(Don't sleep!)

What sound was that?

Why does it sound so familiar?

Why is

the frost poison getting worse?

Ziwu,

since you recognize this poison,

do you know how to neutralize it?

I can't remember.

I dare not simply speak.

What if I said the wrong thing

and harmed Money

instead?

Her Highness

is already in critical condition.

What could be worse

than this situation?

I vaguely remember

that Jade Deity once said

we need different heavenly fires

to produce different pills.

One of the heavenly fires is called

the True Golden Fire.

However, we need tens of thousands of gold

to create that fire.

Only then, we can neutralize the frost poison without harming her body.

Tens of thousands of gold?

Where can we

find that much gold

in such a short time?

I'll beg Mother.

Your Highness,

Her Majesty has always been in charge of the gold vault.

Even the Beast King couldn't make her give up a single cent.

How could you do it?

I'm afraid Her Highness would be gone

by the time you acquired her permission.

Tens of thousands of gold?

I have them.

This...

This is great.

There's hope now.

Although there's plenty of gold here,

if we wish to create the True Golden Fire,

I'm afraid all the silver and gold here

will be destroyed.

There's too much gold in the vault.

I think it's more convenient for us

to create the fire here.

With our current powers,

all three of us need to use our powers together

to produce a pure True Golden Fire.

(I've only managed)

(to build this gold vault)

(after years of effort.)

(Now, I have to lay waste to all of them.)

(The killer hornets are here.)

(There's hope for us)

to make plenty of gold!

Money!

Money!

Don't sleep! Wake up!

Let us

begin.

(For Money's sake,)

(it's worth it.)

Burn them.

Tan?

I'm taking yours.

This is my next move.

Tan, are you sure you want to make that move?

If you do so,

I'm going to checkmate you.

Wait!

Did you see?

Tan is trying to cheat again.

Father, you cheated when you played with me too.

Fine.

Tan, take it back.

Tan,

do this.

Father won't be able to do anything to you now.

Your sister is intelligent indeed.

I'm going to checkmate you again.

No way.

[General]

So, everything was just a dream.

Tan, what's the matter?

Father,

if only you were real.

If only

everything was real.

No, I still have things to do.

I can't stay here.

Could...

Could it be that I was mistaken?

Money?

Money!

Money,

you'll definitely be fine.

You'll definitely be fine!

I'm here.

I'm here!

You'll be fine!

You'll definitely be fine!

[Jufu Inn]

Tan.

Your Highness?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, you're awake?

Tan.

Tan is in trouble.

I need to find her.

Your Highness,

calm down.

Since you're awake,

that means Princess Yetan

is safe.

Right now, you should be worried

about our Third Prince.

What happened to him?

He went looking

for Second Prince for your sake.

Even now, he hasn't returned yet.

Sir,

let me carry her.

I'll carry her myself.

Feng,

put me down.

You should leave.

I got ahead of myself.

I left the realm without permission.

Mother, I failed to protect you.

I know my fault now.

After we go back,

please teach me a harsh lesson.

Please use the spikiest cane

you can find,

okay?

I don't blame you for this.

I just hope

that you won't get yourself involved

with the power struggle anymore.

I want you to lead a peaceful life.

I haven't lost yet!

I will never stop

until the day your name is cleared.

Ever since you were born,

I never thought of myself

as a slave.

I watched over you as you grew up day by day.

I remembered each time

you called me Mother.

I already felt like

I was the luckiest person

in the world.

I...

I understand.

Mother,

you're seriously wounded.

You shouldn't speak.

You've remained hidden for a millennium

and did all you could

to fight for the crown prince's throne

for my sake.

But today,

you lost because of me too.

Are you sure this is worthwhile?

Feng,

put me down.

In the future,

you should live for your own sake.

I will not put you down!

It's been so many years.

We've endured

so many hardships together.

This time, it'll be the same!

Sir!

Feng,

I've lost all of my clan members.

I cannot afford to lose you anymore.

You should stop.

[Jufu Inn]

How is it?

Have you found him?

Chaofeng?

What's going on?

Your Highness, you're awake?

Please save Third Prince and Consort Xue!

Bring them inside immediately.

Hurry!

Come.

Bring them inside immediately!

Consort Xue!

Be careful.

Here.

Time to have snacks.

You didn't eat much at all.

This won't do.

Here.

I already took my eighth bowl.

My body will become heaty if I keep taking it.

Please let me off, okay?

No.

Your body was invaded by cold qi.

You have to nourish it.

All finished.

That's more like it.

Come.

I've spent all of your savings.

Don't worry.

I'll return them to you one day.

You wouldn't have sustained

such serious injuries

if you didn't try to save me.

But even now,

I still don't understand

why the voidwalkers were after me.

Forget it.

I guess

karma is coming after me

since I've committed so many misdeeds.

Forget it. Let's drop the topic.

Although my savings are gone,

I'm going

to make money using my true ability.

What do you mean?

Do you mean scriptwriting?

That's right.

Think about it.

I deceived the entire Beast Realm

for an entire year with Romantic Heroic Chronicles.

That proves

that I'm talented at storytelling.

But you can't make quick bucks writing scripts.

So what?

Actually,

I wanted to tell you this long ago.

You're the most important wealth

in my heart.

You've already won my heart.

So, in the future,

it doesn't matter

how much I earn.

It's fine as long as I can be together with you.

Stop. Don't cry yet.

Here, cover yourself.

I'll get you another bowl of soup.

No, I don't want it.

You have to drink it.

(Who would've expected Heartless Shaodian)

(to have such a kind side?)

(Seems like)

(I need)

(to change his nickname.)

I'll locate

the last soul shard.

Ziwu,

you and the rest can stay

and take care of Qingkui

and Youqin.

What gives?

Last time, I had to watch over Fiery.

Now, I have to watch over Heartless?

Stop arguing. We don't have much time.

Your Highness.

What were you guys arguing about?

We heard

that the Void Empress

had deployed additional manpower

to locate the soul shard

in both Mortal Realm and Beast Realm.

That's why we've decided to split up.

I'll locate Youqin's

last soul shard.

They'll stay

to look after you and Youqin.

It's important to locate the soul shard.

However, protecting Heartless and Fiery

is equally important.

Di Lanjue,

how's Fiery doing in the Prince's Mansion?

Di Lanjie

hid Fiery well.

Even the Beast King didn't know about him.

If so,

how's my sister doing?

Chaofeng

took her away.

Why are you guys only telling me that now?

We were afraid that you might panic.

Don't worry.

Chaofeng may be despicable,

but he's loyal

to Princess Yetan.

Without him,

we would've never been able

to escape from the Assassin Assembly Hall.

He's trying to kill the soul shard for his desire

and save us so that we can owe him a favor.

Chaofeng does know his goals clearly.

It's no wonder Tan fell for him.

Where are they right now?

Don't panic.

I'll ask my underlings

to find out.

Sir.

How's Mother doing?

Sir, please don't worry.

The consort's life is out of danger

after Her Highness treated her.

Sushui is watching over her.

Although the consort is safe,

you are...

The poison pill given to you by Yingzhao

was made with tens of thousands of snake gallbladders

extracted from the Snake clan.

Its toxicity

cannot be neutralized even by Her Highness.

Is there any news from the Void Patrol Battalion?

Now that the Void Empress has nothing to fear,

Dingyun is preparing

to abolish the entire battalion.

I never expected one careless move

to cost me the entire game.

Sir,

even though you've lost everything,

you won Her Highness's heart.

Isn't that worth it?

Right now, I'm literally useless.

The closer she gets to me,

the riskier it is for her.

Tan.

Qingkui!

I rushed here

when I heard that you were here.

I was struck by the Void Frost Poison.

You must've been implicated too.

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Have you fully recovered?

I'm fine.

I'm almost fully healed.

I'll be fine

after some rest.

It was terrifying.

Both Dingyun and the Void Empress

were after your lives.

You were lucky

to escape from their grasp.

Dingyun?

Are you saying that the person

who tried to kill Heartless in the Assassin Assembly Hall was Dingyun?

That's right.

You mean that Dingyun who swapped our carriages?

That's right.

(If the person)

(I saw that day was Dingyun,)

(who was the one who tried to assassinate Wudai)

(in Wangliang City?)

Kui.

Chaofeng?

Why did you get up?

Great timing. This is your first time

meeting Tan, right?

Is he Chaofeng, the third prince

you mentioned?

Yes.

This isn't our first encounter,

Third Prince.

Our carriages were swapped

because I saw someone trying to assassinate

the Void First Prince,

Wudai.

And that person

is Third Prince.

Tan, what nonsense are you saying?

The person who swapped the carriages was clearly Ding...

I expected this to happen

when I headed to Assassin Assembly Hall.

I never expected it to happen so soon.

That's right. I'm the one who swapped the carriages.

I framed Dingyun for everything

to acquire your trust.

But you took on the blame for me

when I killed Zhu Jiuyin.

Do you truly think

that you can kill Great General Zhulong with your powers alone?

(I was the one who shifted his neck toward your hairpin.)

(If not,)

(I would've no way to drag)

(a loyal and elegant princess like you)

into the ditch

for my manipulation.

If that's the case,

why did you need

to battle the Void Empress for my sake?

For your sake?

I came to Assassin Assembly Hall

just to kill

the second soul shard.
