[Episode 29]

Everything is set.

Imperial Qingheng,

you could have let the immortal servants

send them here.

There is no need to come in person.

I need your advice

on certain matters.

Do tell.

After my brother mended Guixu,

will there never be any anomaly again?

Given Empyrean Xuanshang's power,

after Guixu was sealed o ff,

there shouldn't

be any anomaly.

You need not be concerned.

What if...

What if the people of Dongqiu appear?

What...

What made you say that?

The Dongqiu used the power of the Ganoderma Vein

to wreak havoc.

They were eliminated by the four realms.

It's impossible

there are any of them left.

But I...

I heard rumors

from some old deities.

Dongqiu and

the Ganoderma Vein

never sought to destroy the world.

They were

eliminated because the four realms

feared them.

In that case,

shouldn't the four realms

clear Dongqiu's name?

If there is a survivor,

she deserves

kindness from the four realms.

Who told you that?

I went through some old scrolls

and came up with this theory.

I've been wondering.

If Father knows about this,

will he agree with me?

You are right.

The four realms' kings of yore

owe Dongqiu an apology.

I wish I didn't have to do it back then.

But the story with Dongqiu

has been decided.

If any of its survivors show up,

His Majesty will hunt them down.

He will not clear their name.

Immortal Qingheng.

Do not mention this matter

to His Majesty.

You are right.

I should've thought it through.

If so, I'll reward you

with a gentler Yetan

for breaking through ordeals

fearlessly for me

.

Sure

. Highness?

Your Highness!

What brings you here?

I've been calling your name, but you never answered.

I doubt I could have got your attention

with the delicious snacks.

Judging by the look of it,

are you thinking about Empyrean Xuanshang?

The servant from Tianpa Hall told me

he came here every day

to spend some time with you.

I only hope that

your love for him doesn't go

unanswered.

Don't worry.

I won't let him get away.

(Perhaps keeping you in the dark)

(is what's best for you.)

What is this snack made of?

It's different

from before.

I asked the immortal servant

who casts rains on the Mortal Realm

to get these for me.

I wanted you to try them out .

That's very nice of you.

I'm only returning the kindness.

Without you,

I wouldn't have made it this far.

So...

Whateve r may come,

I will always

stand by you.

This is delicious. Try it out.

Do you like it?

Your Highness.

Immortal Yunlong says the Honey Fruits

that only bear fruit

every 3,000 years are ripe.

Penglai Hall

was assigned

20 fruits.

He asked us to get them.

The fruits

that

only bear fruit every 3,000 years?

Can the

fruits

increase one's power

? the same.

Ziwu.

Are those Honey Fruits?

Yes.

I thought the fruit

was rare and precious.

Why does

everyone have one?

My brother was kind enough

to give every student one.

Qingkui.

Maybe

we got rewarded

thanks to you.

(That day,)

(I didn't really mean it when I asked.)

(But he took it to heart.)

Help yourself with it, then.

Where is yours?

I got too excited

and finished mine in one go.

I barely tasted

its

flavor.

Your Highness.

You can have

my Honey Fruit.

Do you mean it?

If you are willing

to be my friend,

I'm willing to give you

my Honey Fruit. -Thank you. Honey Fruits?

What is wrong with him?

What was that about?

What's wrong with you?

Was a Honey Fruit enough

to please you?

They wanted to give me their fruits,

what's wrong with that?

How could you not tell?

These people only approached you

because you are the princess of the immortals.

They have

an ulterior motive.

Who are you to decide

whether they meant well or not?

See?

She disregarded my kindness

. 're the kind

who gets deceived

and still defends the bad guy.

You...

Qingkui.

Is he always so rude

when he talks to you?

No way.

He doesn't care

who tries to approach me.

He doesn't want

anyone else

to be too close to you.

Heed my advice.

Go for it if you love it.

Being jealous doesn't do any good.

I'm going to collect my Honey Fruit!

Qingkui!

So...

Don't take her words

to heart.

I know it's not what you mean.

What if

she is right?

Reverend Master Tuiyun.

I'm here to get my fruit.

Princess Qingkui.

Well...

Sorry.

We ran out of the Honey Fruits

. nothing left?

I thought every student of Shangshu Academy

gets one.

Well...

I didn't decide how many Honey Fruits

we could get.

How should I know?

Reverend Master, we are here to collect our fruits.

Trai n hard.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

You said there were no fruits left.

Hear

me

out.

These two

were reserved for students

who are beginners.

It 's

for them to hone their powers.

Consort.

Right ?

You

must learn to be tolerant.

Reverend Master, we are here for our fruits.

One for each of you.

Train

well

.

With the fruits to bolster their strength,

they might even become

the future pillars of the Heavenly Realm.

I am good at studying, too.

Last time, I almost got a Tier One result

in the evaluation test of Shangshu Academy

. ,

but you never got it. Right?

The path of training is full of obstacles.

To have any notable accomplishment,

you need more than talking back

at your teacher with witty words.

Isn't...

Isn't that right?

( I'll make you suffer today.)

(If you dare use violence on a teacher,)

(the whole realm will know.)

(You will never)

(become the Empyrean Consort.)

How about this?

We don't have

any Honey Fruit left for you.

Perhaps

I could make it up to you in another way.

What is

I was told you were diligent at learning.

You have

extra lessons with His Highness after school. As

the deputy dean

of Shangshu Academy,

even though I do not

possess His Highness' power,

I can still show you

a trick or two.

-Qingkui! -Qingkui!

(Stay calm. Do not start a fight.)

(Nothing is more important)

(than being with Youqin.)

Qingkui.

Are you hurt?

This is the Incitant Spell.

It's an offensive spell

of the wind attribute .It

can bewitch an enemy

and make them follow any order.

Princess.

Did you learn anything?

That spell requires years of training.

You are much older and more powerful.

How dare you bully

her

! basic skills.

She lacks the affinity to become a deity.

I was giving her guidance.

How was that bullying?

You...

I lack the stren gth to resist it.

It's not Reverend Master Tuiyun's fault.

(She would have lost her temper.)

(What's wrong with her today?)

Thank you, Reverend Master Tuiyun.

I will heed your advice.

I'll cast away my arrogance

and study hard to hone my skills.

Let's go.

Please wait.

I

am going to teach you the

entire mastery of the Incitant Spell.

I haven't finished it.

Why are you leaving?

Behold!

Qingkui.

is he doing here?)

I'm alright.

Reverend Master Tuiyun was teaching me a spell.

Yes.

I was merely

teaching Princess Qingkui

the essential steps.

Send Her Highness back.

Let's go, Qingkui.

Shangshu Academy

is the greatest institution of learning for our kind.

Your kinsman, Tuiyun had the honor

of being accepted into Shangshu Academy

and acting as the deputy dean.

He made the Xia clan proud.

Today, I take both of you here

to have your training.

Witness Tuiyun's glory

. stay here

and learn from him.

Yes.

Yes.

Let's go.

Thank you

for looking after Her Highness

while I was away.

Thank you for the lesson.

Your Highness...

You...

You don't have to be so polite.

You are the pride of the Xia clan.

I have high expectations for you.

I have some time to kill today

. could teach you a lesson

about spells.

So...

What is the lesson

about?

I learned a few

informal techniques in the Mortal Realm.

I find them interesting.

Youqin, have mercy!

(Oh no.)

(It's all over.)

Brother.

I'm alright.

Kui.

You brought Wudai and Jialouluo

to the place where we

first opened up to each other.

Do you want to fix him up with her?

You call that opening up to each other?

of nonsense.

Can't you

be quiet for once?

We can all see

how the Saintess feels.

It's all up

to the First Prince.

Tan! Tan!

Tan!

Where is Tan?

She will be here in a moment.

Please wait, Your Highness.

Good.

Tan asked to meet me

at the Star Observatory when she came back.

I bet she has come to her senses

and sees my worth.

(I was told that he fell for Tan)

(because of her knowledge of medicine. )

(To make him understand how I feel for him,)

(I must...)

Your Highness.

Why isn't Tan... I...

I...

Why did you jab my Yun Meridian?

Your Yun Meridian?

Yeah.

This is the Yun Meridian.

This is the Conceptual Vassal Meridian.

This is the Qihai Meridian.

The Yun Meridian

is used to treat coughing,

asthma,

stuffed chest, and back pain.

But I don't have

these symptoms.

you

jab me there?

I...

I get it.

Do you like

acupuncture as well?

Yes.

Of course.

That is great.

After Tan and I get married,

I'll ask her to teach you

.

requires precise control

of the acupuncture points...

And the art of acupuncture...

The First Prince

is dense beyond reason.

He remembers acupuncture points,

so why can't he think?

And not all needles are the same.

reason why Wudai hasn't been intimate with any woman

over the millennia.

According to Tan,

the insertion depths of the needles

have different effects.

For some points...

Tan also told me

that the same acupuncture poin ts

yield different effects

for different body sizes

and insertion depths.

Tan also said...

Enough

about Tan!

Can't you talk about something else?

I'll tell you the

truth

. say?

We are both from the Void.

I won't

keep it a secret anymore.

I am telling you

that I like you!

♪Maybe we're superstitious♪

♪About love♪

We can either die together

or grow old together.

♪ Like a river of love♪

Your Highness, what is your answer?

But...

Stop...

Stay away.

Stay away.

Stay away.

Is that a confession?

She is clearly...

She's threatening him.

It's such an eye -opener for me.

Women of the Void

are so brave in their pursuit of love.

I... I am the daughter of the Devil of Void.

Unlike Tan,

I don't know medicine or people.

I've made it very clear.

Life or death,

let fate decide!

He got scared.

The First Prince

is a real man

,

indeed

.

It's alright, Jialouluo.

We can get him back for you.

No.

I'll do it myself.

Today,

I must get an answer

from him.

Jialouluo...

Be gentle.

Princess Qingkui!

Princess Qingkui!

Princess Qingkui

! my God.

That looks awful.

Princess Qingkui.

It was foolish of me

to pick on you.

Could you...

Could you forgive me?

You

admit

you did it on purpose?

giving out Honey Fruits,

it was my idea

not to save any for you.

And the Incitant Spell

was meant to provoke you.

Why would you do that to me?

I...

I wanted to take revenge on you

for my sister.

Please be merciful.

Please forgive me.

Forgive you?

I am still bleeding!

Why would I forgive you? Fat chance!

His Highness says

if I can't get your forgiveness,

I' ll...

I'll have

to keep kneeling until you forgive me.

Immortal Yuanxia from my clan

also made it clear.

If I don't get

your forgiveness,

I'll...

I'll be banished from the Xia clan

Your Highness.

How can I make it up to you?

Your

Highness.

Perhaps... Please

accept

my kowtow as apologies!

Your Highness!

Get up

!

Stop it

. Forgive me.

Keep it up.

Come on.

Your Highness.

With all due respect,

your action

was a bit unacceptable.

That spy Guangtian

must be snitching on you

to His Majesty.

So be it!

Tuiyun was clearly

giving her a hard time!

If his action goes unpunished,

Her Highness

will keep getting bullied!

[Penglai Hall]

The Xia clan plays an important role among our kind.

Youqin should know that.

How could he be so reckless?

How cou ld he

embarrass the Xia clan?

You've followed him for some time.

What do you think?

Until

earlier today,

I wasn't very sure.

But His Highness' behavior today

was different from before

. Him myself.

Yes.

Father.

Did you summon me

because

of what I did to Tuiyun?

Ever since you regained your original form

and returned to the Heavenly Realm,

I

always feel

that you are different now.

my Celestial Body

and pacify Guixu.

Guixu has been sealed.

The four realms have peace.

I am no longer bound by duty.

Hence, I am different now.

Are you saying,

since your work at Guixu is done,

you get to do whatever you please here?

Remember that you are my son.

You have a duty as the Empyrean.

There is peace and order in the Heavenly Realm

because of your stern authority.

Our kind has the glory we have today

because of your

wholehearted devotion to public duty .

If you do as you please,

there will be chaos in this realm.

I do wish you could live

as your heart tells you.

But the Heavenly Realm

needs its Empyrean Xuanshang.

Implant this Stake of Oblivion on you.

Forget your bizarre adventure

as the soul shards.

Return to your former self.

In the future,

I need you

to succeed to the throne.

You still refuse to believe

that my memories as the soul shards

don't hinder me from carrying out my duties.

Forgive my concerns.

This is for your own good.

For my own good?

When have you

ever cared about me?

When I was sent to Guixu?

When I cast away my desires?

Or at this moment?

You only smiled at me

when you wanted something from me.

You want only

the glory of the Heavenly Realm

and to conquer the four realms.

Those are my duties

as the Heavenly Emperor!

You shall do as I did!

I'd rather forsake the throne!

Insolence!

Youqin

, do you know

what you just said?

You are

not thinking straight!

Implant this Stake of Oblivion

. want to retain my memories!

You want your memories

so that

you and Princess Qingku i

can be together and continue to love each other.

Yes!

Father, you lecture me

over my duties.

I understand.

But after I was resurrected with my desires,

I had an exterior motive.

I am asking

for your permission

to resign from the position of Empyrean Xuanshang

.

Father.

I've made up my mind.

I went to Guixu for an inspection.

The seal showed no sign of deteriorating.

Qingheng is an adult.

He can hold his own. You may

make Qingheng the next Empyrean.

Empyrean anymore,

but the

blood of

the immortals runs in me.

I will defend the Heavenly Realm

with my life.

Please grant me permission.

Outrageous!

Guangtian

.

Your Majesty.

Please reconsider.

Are you disobeying me too?

I wouldn't dare.

I know the way!

Your Majesty.

[Memorial of Dingyun]

Yetan inspired with the immortals

and got Dingyun killed.

They are living a high life in the Void ,

unpunished.

What do we do?

Chaofeng...

Yetan...

Qingkui...

Shaodian Yo uqin...

They will all pay for my son's death.

Chaofeng is without his powers.

I'll order to have him killed now.

Killing him

won't be enough to quench my hated.

Your Majesty has other plans?

Yetan is the crown princess.

Of course,

she must marry the crown prince.

If I help Wudai become the crown prince,

Chaofeng will turn the realm upside-down

for his lover.

His Majesty

will have to execute this brat whether he wants it

or not

. , show yourself!

Wudai, did you hear me?

Show yourself!

Wudai!

Your Highness.

Your Highness?

Over here.

Well? Has Jialouluo left?

No.

If you don't

talk to her now,

she will tear

this tent apart.

What should I tell her?

She can try,

but I'm going nowhere.

She is terrifying.

Wudai!

Come out!

Wudai!

I'm not going out

! I 'm a man of my word!

no matter what!

She only wants to marry you.

What's wrong with you?

We've been to countless battles.

Were we ever scared?

What do you know?

Dealing with a woman in love

is harder than fighting the Heavenly Ar my!

It's written in the book.

[Art of War, Book of Womanly Piety] The best plan is to escape.

Book?

Stop reading

these human books.

Wudai !

Wudai! Come out!

Wudai!

Come out!

Your Majesty.

the decor...

Your Majesty.

You really are head over heels

for Yetan.

Wudai!

Do you want to marry me

or fight me?

I must

get your answer today!

You...

Your Majesty. Snake clan.

Are you here

to save me from this predicament?

If you work with me,

I guarantee

you get to marry Tan.

Then,

Jialouluo will give up on you.

Do you mean it?

Of course.

Empyrean Xuanshang.

Was it necessary ?

You could have just agreed

with His Majesty.

I leave the rest to you.

Why must you ruffle His Majesty's feather

over something so trivial?

I am the cause.

I can talk to His Majesty.

I can apologize to Tuiyun

or kowtow to him .

I'll ask him

to release Youqin.

Your Highness.

[Heavenly Ministry of Justice] His Highness ordered us

not to let you do anything reckless.

He will talk to you after his release.

How long is it going to take?

If you go to His Majesty,

it will only infuriate him even more.

Only someone who can

persuade His Majesty

. Heavenly Empress! -The Heavenly Empress!

I bet

Her Majesty is even more worried than we are.

It's her son in the Heavenly Ministry of Justice.

She won't just sit by and do nothing.

The only thing we can do now

is to wait for her

to convince His Majesty.

However,

things could be complicated

if His Highness insists on resigning.

He even

sorted out

all the official documents

and asked me to pass them to Immortal Qingheng

.

...

But I don't get it.

Why would he

go to this extent for his memories

as the soul shards?

Fine.

All of you are disobeying me.

Alright.

I didn't detain him in the Heavenly Ministry of Justice

because he wouldn't

get rid of the memories.

It's because

he insisted on resigning from his duties as Empyrean Xuanshang

and r survived from his desires.

I am worried

that he is no longer

the Empyrean Xuanshang we all knew.

Guangtian has been keeping an eye on him.

He hasn't noticed

any unusual behavior.

It was a relief to know that.

But today,

he beat up Tuiyun

in front of the elder

of the Xia clan.

If that was

enough to make him lose his mind...

I thought

I could give him a lesson

and keep him in check.

But what did he do?

He was wayward beyond reason!

If this goes on,

people won't obey him,

he will fail in his duties.

I'd rather see him this way.

What makes you say that?

He cast away his desires

for the sake of training.

He felt distant even to me.

Do you know how much that hurt me?

Now

he finally shows some emotions.

He no longer suppresses them.

He's not

as distant as before.

But you are pushing him

away once again!

Fine, I get it.

ll keep him detained for seven days

until he reflects on his mistake.

I won't force him

to wipe his memories.

However,

I need a favor from you.

I need you to convince him

n ot to speak out of spite again.

This realm

needs Empyrean Xuanshang.

If he ever

brings up his resignation,

I won't forgive him as easily.

The same goes for you,

do not speak out of spite again.

!

Did that fool you?

How are you

in

the mood to play here?

Did His Majesty say anything?

Mother came by.

Father eventually gave in.

I can leave

in seven days.

Your father

is crueler than mine.

in this freezing cage?

Father keeps me here

as a small lesson.

But you should not stay here.

I'm not done talking to you.

And you're asking me to leave?

Do you still feel cold?

Tell me something

. is it?

You must be honest.

If you tell even the smallest lie,

you will stay single forever.

That's a bit harsh.

What is it?

Why did you resign?

As you said,

you wanted me to stop

hurting myself

. the pain

from my training to cast away my desires.

I was tortured by Guixu's destruction.

But compared

to not remembering you,

these are insignificant.

That's all ?

Isn't that enough?

You're worried

they might learn the truth

about the wedding.

If you weren't the Heavenly Emperor

or Empyrean Xuanshang,

there is still hope for us.

Otherwise, it 's the end of the road.

You did it for me,

am I right

?

you coveting the position

of the Empyrean Consort?

Yeah.

It'd be a shame not to be one.

I remember someone who tried to escape

when she came to this realm.

Since I can't get away,

I'll never leave you again

whether we're in

the Heavenly Realm

or the Void Realm.

You won't get away either.

Fine.

Come on.

Look.

A fiery firework show just for you.

Do you remember that?

Sit.

Let all disputes

be water under the bridge.

We should direct our hate

to our enemies.

The lack of a crown prince

has taken a toll on the Void realm.

The immortals

seized the opportunity

to become the head of the realms.

I even lost my son, Dingyun. thought,

I've decided to select a crown prince.

That shall appease the people.

We can focus our effort

on fighting the immortals.

Wudai, the First Prince

is the firstborn of the Void Tyrant.

He has more accomplishments in battle than anyone.

He deserves to be the crown prince more than

anyone

.

-Indeed

. -Agreed.

-Yes. -That's right.

(Oh no.)

Your Majesty,

please don't be mad at me.

Over the past few days,

I

've been recovering in seclusion

. fight his brothers

over the chance

to be the next crown prince.

I felt very regretful.

It's in the past now.

Until we have a crown prince,

the Void shall not have peace.

Wudai has many great feats in battles.

the crown prince?

That should

unite the people of the Void.

I'm surprised you've thought

that far ahead for me.

It's time

to select a crown prince.

His Majesty and I have discussed the matter

. prince,

Wudai's wedding

with Princess Yetan

should be prepared.

It seems

Chaofeng and Jialouluo

do seem like a great match.

Let's set a date

for both princes to have their weddings.

How does

that

sound

,

Your Majesty?

Yes.

Well said.

Yes!

Terrific.

A

double delight. Father!

Your Majesty

! the son of a sinner.

I feel sorry for you.

But Chaofeng

is still the Third Prince of Void.

He has courage and wits.

He is sharp.

He has a promising future.

You

are the Saintess of the Snake clan. your clan

and assist Chaofeng in his duties.

Chaofeng.

The Empress betrothed the Saintess to you

for your own good.

You should be grateful.

Chaofeng and I

had our differences.

I've arranged their marriage

so we can let bygone be bygone

. should take some burden off Your Majesty's shoulder.

Your Majesty!

Enough.

The future of our realm

is at stake.

Do

not let your relationships get in the way.

Your

Majesty

. your face.

Yetan is to be the crown prince's wife.

Are you

coveting her?

I know someone already has your heart.

But the crown princess

must marry the crown prince.

Everyone agrees with this decision.

You should see the big picture.

Your Majesty

.

I

am a mere mortal. You

are too humble.

You've saved

so many of our kind.

You've earned the people's trust.

You will be the First Prince's

capable aide.

Your Highness.

You know who I love.
