[The World of Fantasy]

[Episode 3]

Don't come near me! Go away!

-Don't come near me! -Qin Lie.

-Don't come near me! Go away! -Qin Lie.

-Wake up, Qin Lie. -Go away!

Qin Lei, wake up.

What are you doing?

You were punching and kicking in the air.

I worried that you might hurt yourself.

Why do you treat me so nicely?

Ever since we watched that meteor shower together,

you've been exceptionally nice to me.

I don't know why either.

When I saw you struggling,

I got worried.

It's upsetting.

I can feel the pain.

Only when you are happy,

I feel much more at ease.

-Therefore... -Don't fall for me!

I have promised my grandpa.

I am going to become the Supreme Lord. I am not going to marry.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Lady Yu Shi requests to see you.

What is she doing here?

I guess she is here to testify

to Qin Lie's innocence.

Let her in.

Young Master Du.

I know you want to marry me,

but

I don't like you.

It doesn't matter.

I don't like you either.

The Du family is doing everything

to seize power.

If they succeed,

you would inherit the title.

If you don't mind me asking,

are you really

going to limit yourself to Xingyun Pavilion?

Cut to the chase.

Will you tell me the truth?

You're an iron fist in a velvet glove.

Fine.

Listen.

I aim

higher than Xingyun Pavilion.

In that case,

what is your ambition?

Compared to your lover, I aim higher

and farther.

I am leaving.

Young Master.

She is...

This lady

is interesting.

Father, Uncles.

Uncle Hua.

Shi Yu.

Why are you here? Anything?

I am willing to get married.

I knew she'd agree to it.

I will marry into Xingyun Pavilion.

Yu Shi.

Father, it's settled then.

Okay?

Yu Shi.

It is a big deal.

Why didn't you discuss with your father beforehand?

You asked him out of the blue.

How is he supposed to answer it?

No matter who I marry,

my father will get upset.

Uncle Xiang, you've always looked out for Father.

You have my utmost respect.

After I marry into a family far away from home,

please cheer up my father for me.

Take away his sorrow.

Look at you.

I can't bear to hear that.

Am I not thinking in your father's best interest?

Marriage is a big deal.

You are not allowed to make the decision.

This marriage

is not something that can be decided by the Ling family.

Since we have no choice,

why do we still make things difficult for our own family?

Uncle Kang.

You are honest and frank.

Moving forward, we'd better stay away

from unscrupulous fights.

One day,

if Ling Borough is in danger

and needs to be protected by force,

we can only rely on you.

Father.

It's settled then.

Okay?

My dear daughter.

I am useless.

If you were useless,

why would I share your worries?

Let me ask you a question.

Are you doing this

only because Qin Lie is dead?

We are not

meant for each other.

Du Shao Yang doesn't care about whom his wife will be.

For me,

I don't care about whom I'll get married with, either.

It is not too bad marrying into Xingyun Pavilion.

Father.

Please let me do this without any worry.

My dear daughter.

On behalf of the Ling family,

I thank you.

My dear daughter.

Thank you for everything.

How dare you?

What is wrong?

I am not properly dressed.

So what?

It's actually not a big deal.

No wonder you were drenched.

You went into the water to fish for the box.

You threw it away and picked it back.

Is it because your nemesis's fatal weakness

is hidden in the case?

A man shouldn't be too curious.

Especially about women.

Let me guess. You want to marry me?

Have you married anyone in Ling Borough?

Do you have any lovers?

Give me their names. I will murder them all.

Even if you kill everyone in Ling Borough,

I won't marry you.

Don't you want to know

who we are?

In the vast land of Chilan Continent,

there are 57 Bluestone Class factions.

Xingyun Pavilion is just one of them.

After the Bluestone Class is the Black Iron Class.

There are 15 Black Iron Class factions in the Continent.

Seven of them are led by my family.

Another seven are led by her family.

You are the Supreme Lord of Red Copper?

Supreme Lord?

Of the Chilan Continent

perhaps.

My nemesis is Song Ting Yu.

She is the daughter of the Profound Heaven Alliance's Chief.

She is the Saintess of the Profound Heaven Alliance.

My name is Xie Jing Xuan.

I am the Saintess of the Eight Extreme Sanctuary.

What is wrong?

Are you frightened?

There are 15 Black Iron Class factions.

Each of your families control seven factions.

What about the last faction?

The last family is the Artefact Forging Sect.

They have no respect for anyone.

Now that you know my identity,

are you tempted to marry me?

So what if you are the Saintess?

In the Frost Land,

no one is completely safe.

I agree with you.

Song Ting Yu thinks she is fighting a holy battle.

Actually, she is here to get herself killed.

You're just pretending to be incompatible.

However, from what I see, you are willing to die with her.

Of course.

We grew up together.

What is

in the case?

It's the most precious thing in her life.

Her lover.

A man who is non-existent.

Why did you throw it

and pick it back again?

We'll be in grave danger.

If I die,

I'll just consider this as something good I did for her.

As for why I threw it and picked it back,

that is because I wanted to see you jump into the water to save her.

What is so great about holding a box?

It's better to have a man in her arms.

You are trying to be the matchmaker?

See for yourself.

You claimed that you're doing it for the people of Chilan Continent.

But what I saw was that you enjoyed the bloodbath.

If the Soul Reaping Beast

sees this, it will laugh.

What are you doing?

So this is how it feels to have a man in my arms.

It is so warm.

Don't ever mention the case again.

What are you thinking?

I am talking to you.

How dare you ignore me?

The Saintess is talking to me.

Of course I must reply.

Since I was little, I've lived

in this harsh, northern hinterland.

I have long heard about the Supreme Lord.

I have been wanting to see

how the elite of the Chilan Continent behave.

Instead,

I met two uppity Saintesses

from the Red Copper Class.

What do you think?

Nothing.

Nothing impressive?

Nothing special.

Qin,

I don't like you.

I don't like you either.

But I need you.

Just focus on showing us the way.

After I kill the Soul Reaping Beast,

I will aid you in sorting out the problem of the Lin Borough.

Yu Shi.

Why?

I went to see Du Shao Yang.

His ultimate goal will not be achieved in Xingyun Pavilion.

The more ambitious he is,

the more willing I am to marry him.

As his wife,

I'll help him reach the highest

and the furthest.

What about Qin Lie?

He will always

remain the same.

Look at the ashes.

They rise in the fire.

I think I have finally started to understand his mind.

Therefore,

I am going to use my eyes

to see for Qin Lie.

From the lonely mountains,

to the snowfields

and beyond.

I wonder what they'll be like.

Xuan Xuan.

I wish Qin Lie

could be part of my life forever.

Why did you stop?

The storm and snow have changed the landscape.

I can't recognise the road.

That mountain is tall enough.

Let me climb up the mountain to check.

I'll go with you.

Mr Liang.

The road is rough.

Be careful.

It is okay.

Don't worry.

I can tell

you are agile and light on your feet.

You must have at least reached the Natal Opening Realm.

Wrong.

The Manifestation Realm, then?

Mr Liang.

I would like to learn from you when you are free.

Please guide me.

Mr Liang.

There is a village not far away.

Let's go and check it out.

Perhaps we can ask someone for directions.

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

The village is well kept. It doesn't look like a deserted village.

However, why is there no one to be seen?

[The Gao Family of Mount Zu]

The Gao family of Mount Zu.

There are white lanterns under the roof, and the staircases are free of snow.

I think it is inhabited.

Is there anyone alive?

[The Gao Family of Mount Zu]

[Gao Yu]

Gao Yu, do it!

If you want to fight,

let me know beforehand.

Didn't I tell you to do it?

Where is Yu Shi?

It happened suddenly.

She is still at Lin Borough.

Please don't blame me.

This concerns the hundreds of lives at Ling Borough.

I have no choice.

Bring him back to Lin Borough.

The truth of the village massacre will come to light.

He is the Chief of Profound Heaven Alliance.

I bet Du Shao Yang won't do anything to him.

When you are back again,

you can punish me however you like.

Please treat him well during the journey.

He is not a bad guy.

Where are you going?

Are you not coming with us?

Those people are still at the foot of the mountain.

I need to take care of them.

Run!

There is a spirit beast in the mountains!

Mr Liang was devoured by the spirit beast!

Run!

Run that way. Run!

What are you waiting for?

That spirit beast has a mouth this big.

It is this tall.

Its teeth are

hundreds of feet long.

Run!

Who is this?

This is Mount Zu.

A Bluestone Class family was living here.

His name is Gao Yu.

He is the last orphan of the Gao family.

After the Gao family fell,

he grew up with Qin Lie at Ling Borough.

He is back to Mount Zu to pray to his ancestors.

His sister is the mistress of Du Hai Tian,

Xingyun Pavilion's Vice Master.

The ancestors of the Gao family thrived

in the harsh, spirit beast-filled environment.

They accumulated wealth through wars,

and created a legacy that lasted over 1300 years.

However,

in the last spirit tide, countless spirit beasts crossed the border.

The Gao family of Mount Zu was removed from the list.

How do you know so much?

Your best friend is afraid of death.

He told me everything when we got down from the mountain.

You imbecile!

You couldn't even protect an old man.

He's an old man from the Netherpassage Realm.

He put me down even before I could take a closer look.

Netherpassage Realm?

Netherpassage Realm?

Mr Liang.

You did that on purpose.

I guess so.

Saintesses.

Gao Yu also said,

if we follow Qin Lie's directions,

we will reach Frostwolf Valley.

The back garden of the Master of Frost.

How dare you try to trick a Saintess?

You are so vicious.

You are more vicious.

In order to kill the Soul Reaping Beast and please your father,

you are willing to sacrifice 33 villages

and the lives of thousands of people.

Those people's lives don't matter.

I did it

for the Chilan Continent.

You couldn't even protect the people.

You have no right to talk about protecting Chilan Continent!

Dream on!

Stop fighting.

Fighting would hurt your friendship, am I right?

You guys want to go Snow God Valley, right?

I can take you there.

Gao Yu!

Qin Lie!

[Snow God Valley]

This is the place.

We've been here for quite a while,

but have yet to see a spirit beast.

Turns out

all of them are here.

These bones are spotlessly white.

However, they seem to be rotting at the same time.

I guess they died not long ago.

They were most likely killed by the Soul Reaping Beast.

After absorbing so many spirits, the Soul Reaping Beast

has become unimaginably strong.

Since we have reached Snow God Valley,

we have no time to seek help.

We can only hope that the spirits absorbed by the Soul Reaping Beast

have not been fully digested.

Only then would we have a chance

at killing it.

A team has to stay back to guard the place.

The rest of you, go into the cave with me.

Run while you can.

Gao Yu.

Gao Yu.

Saintess Song.

Saintess Xie.

Mr Liang.

Why did all of them disappear?

Gao Yu!

Gao Yu!

Saintess Song! Saintess Xie!

Mr Liang!

Qin Lie!

-Qin Lie! -Yu Shi!

Yu Shi!

Yu Shi!

Yu Shi!

You!

Look over there.

Gao...

Stop talking. Look over there.

The Soul Reaping Beast is absorbing their power.

Is that the Soul Reaping Beast?

That

is the sacrificial altar?

Oh no. He lured us here to absorb our power.

We fell right into his trap.

The survivor who gave us the information

must be a bait dropped by the Soul Reaping Beast.

He lured us here to complete the sacrificial ritual.

You mean

Gao Yu and the gang are the offerings?

What should we do?

My subordinates

and Xie Jing Xuan

possess the flag of the Heavenly Fire Formation.

If we place the centre of the formation on the sacrificial altar,

the Heavenly Fire Formation

will form on its own.

When the formation is complete,

it will attack the coffin first,

prompting Soul Reaping Beast to guard it.

Then, we'll kill it.

You should go there.

If I go there, who's going to fight the battle?

-You should go. -I...

Go now!

Pretend that you are lured. Play it by ears.

Gao Yu.

Qin Lie, it's time to eat.

Eat up. These are your favourite dishes.

The rice is getting cold.

Let me change it for you.

It's okay.

No way.

I can't let you eat cold food.

Otherwise,

I would be perceived as an incompetent wife.

Wife?

Yu Shi, when did you marry me?

Put down the bowl.

Put down the bowl.

Put it down.

Qin Lie, put Profound Heaven Seal on the sacrificial altar.

Heavenly Fire Formation, assemble.

Let go of me!

He used the window of opportunity

to ascend to the Natal Opening Realm from the Refinement Realm.

Summoning Heavenly Thunder through ascension.

Why didn't we think of that?

Those who are at the brink of ascension,

don't hold back. Summon the Heavenly Thunder.

Now, ascend!

Endure the Heavenly Thunder.

It's your only chance at survival.

Otherwise, I will kill all of you now.

The ascension has generated Heavenly Thunder.

Only one out of a million can survive it.

We spent so much time and effort

to cultivate the thunder technique.

We will lose at least half of our power in this battle.

Even if we die in the end,

it would be worth it if we could kill the Soul Reaping Beast.

The fire is not strong enough.

You should leave the cave. Let me fight the beast!

Xie Jing Xuan, do you want to perish together with the beast?

You must be crazy!

We don't have much time!

Qin Lie!

Qin Lie!

Qin Lie, get up.

Qin Lie!

Qin Lie, get up!

[Xingyun Pavilion]

Mistress, the Tianqiong Grass smells good.

When it is mixed with Jade Wine,

the fragrance lingers for a long time. It suits you well.

Hai Tian loves this scent.

Gao Yu hasn't been back from Mount Zu for days.

Any news from him?

Young Master.

Shao Yang, you are back.

Mother.

This is...

Greetings. I am Yu Shi.

I went to Mount Zu with Gao Yu when I was young

and saw you once.

Your hand is frostbitten.

You don't have to suffer anymore from now on.

Shao Yang, be good to Yu Shi.

Don't upset her.

I will bear it in mind.

A noble girl like you

must be exhausted after the long journey.

Go get yourself cleaned.

Bring Pei'er here.

Yes.

I am seeking permission to leave.

When the Gao family fell,

I sought refuge with Xingyun Pavilion.

Gao Yu got used to living in the wilderness.

He couldn't put up with the rules at Xingyun Pavilion.

He would go out and play in the snowfield.

Whenever he came back,

he would tell me interesting things that happened there.

He told me a lot about you.

He wouldn't stop raving about you.

But now that I finally met you,

I can't tell what is so great about you.

When you rejected my little brother's love

and chose to marry Qin Lie, I kept my peace.

However, you decided to marry Shao Yang all of a sudden.

I used to be a Bluestone Class master.

I had power in my hand.

I held millions of lives in my hand.

Even then,

I was loyal

wherever I was.

As a woman, we have to be loyal

so that we can be free from guilt.

Don't worry, madam.

I will learn from you.

I will be extremely grateful,

devoted,

and loyal.

Master.

Du Shao Yang brought Young Lady Yu Shi home.

They plan to get married.

The Du family and the Ling family will become allies.

Zhuo Qian's murderer, Qin Lie,

is from the Ling Borough.

If we threaten them,

we might be able to stop them from getting married.

Where is Zhuo Qian's dead body?

During the journey of transporting Zhuo Qian's body back,

the inn Du Shao Yang was staying in caught fire.

Pity Zhuo Qian.

She can't even have a proper burial.

Well.

Du Shao Yang.

Very well.

He has no respect for me.

Even if the Ling family have the permission,

they don't have the guts to kill anyone from the Ye family.

This is obviously Du Shao Yang's doing.

However, the Du family lost Du Fei too.

That's where the Du family's brilliance lies.

Xuan Xuan!

Bookworm.

What are you holding?

Since we have decided to leave,

I have to bring more books.

Xuan Xuan, let's go.

My parents will come after us if they find out about our plan.

It's going to be a long journey.

Are you up to it?

Like I said, from now on,

I will follow you wherever you go.

We will stick together.

Xuan Xuan.

I don't get it.

Since Yu Shi has decided to get married,

why do you still choose to leave?

When I was young,

I thought that as long as my father and my elders are here,

Ling Borough will stay safe forever.

Since Father and the elders can no longer protect us,

I must leave and look for a way to become stronger.

Then, I will come back and save my sister.

[The Master of Frost, Bu Li]

Send them to Ling Borough.

Hua Yu Xin.

How long have we known each other?

It has been 18 years.

Qin Lie hadn't come to Ling Borough yet.

After all these years,

you've never said anything that made me happy.

Xuan Xuan.

Actually...

Actually, I've been keeping it to myself for a long time.

I didn't have the chance to tell you.

See?

I am not sure if I should let you say it out loud.

I am curious,

but I'm worried what you are going to say

is not something I want to hear.

Bookworm.

Do you feel bored

when you are with me?

Sometimes, I do feel...

Forget it.

Say no more.

Listen to me.

Did you bring these books

to kill time when you are bored?

I knew it.

When you are reading,

what should I do?

You could read with me.

My father said books contain all kinds of knowledge.

You won't feel bored when you read.

I won't feel bored

because

I have you by my side.

Xuan Xuan!

You must listen to me.

I don't care if you like it or not.

It has been kept in my heart

for many years.

Ling Xuan Xuan.

Reading helps one to ascend.

Xuan Xuan.

Why are you crying? You...

Yu Xin.

Let's play a game, okay?

Sure.

As long as you stop crying, I will play any game with you.

You've fallen for me

a long time ago,

haven't you?

But I don't trust you.

What should I do?

Xuan Xuan, I...

How about this?

In order to prove your sincerity,

you have to stand here.

Close your eyes.

Xuan Xuan, now what?

Xuan Xuan!

Now,

rehearse what you have been wanting to tell me

in your mind,

then tell me everything.

You can only open your eyes

when you have finished talking.

Don't try to cheat

or I will beat you up.

I don't have to rehearse. I can say it now.

I have been keeping it in my heart for many years.

Xuan Xuan, you know something?

When my mother taught me how to write,

the first word she taught me was "outlander."

My mother said outlanders are born without Natal Palaces.

They can't cultivate.

They are the lowest class of all.

She told me to work hard to become a blacksmith like my father.

I asked my mother,

"Is Xuan Xuan an outlander?"

My mother said, girls from the Ling family

are gifted in cultivation.

So I thought to myself,

if I couldn't cultivate,

Young Lady Xuan Xuan wouldn't play with me.

In my dreams,

someone told me

reading is the path to ascension.

Actually, I knew

it was my father talking to me in disguise.

As you know,

I'm a quiet person.

The truth is, I have been wanting to tell you all this.

But I didn't have the chance.

Xuan Xuan.

I really like you.

I mean it.

Xuan Xuan, you promised to take me with you.

Why are you ditching me?

Xuan Xuan.

Yu Xin!

Qin Lie? You are still alive.

So am I.

Gao Yu?

Why are you here?

It is a long story.

Gao Yu!

Back in the God Trapping Cave, Qin Lie passed out.

The Saintesses left.

Then,

frostwolves appeared out of nowhere.

When I was semiconscious,

I dreamed of a woman

who ordered the frostwolves to send us back to Ling Borough.

The frostwolves are the masters of Frost Land.

They are the kings of the snowfield.

Why would they listen to a woman?

Yu Xin.

Why are you here?

It is because...

Is Ling Borough okay?

Ling Borough is fine.

Xuan Xuan left me behind

and went alone.

She said she needs to become stronger

to save her sister.

What happened to Yu Shi?

In order to protect Ling Borough,

she married into Xingyun Pavilion.

What?

Let's go to Xingyun Pavilion.

Don't leave me behind.

Let's go!
