[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 40

Que'er.

I know how Rocky would react.

Ever since his transformation,

I've known him.

We went through hardships together.

I even died trying to save him.

He owes me a life.

The demon kingdom established in Qilai Mountain,

I always have my place here.

And the carving on that stone monument

is "Stele of the Savior of King Rocky".

He brought me back this time,

and there's no way he will let me go.

I'm going to govern Qilai Mountain with him.

I'll let you all talk.

I'm going to see my Nuan.

Miss Que'er, I shall take my leave.

You may continue.

I'm going on patrol.

Going on patrol.

Let's go.

There's only Yang Lan in their eyes,

not me.

Yang Lan.

Yang Lan.

Yang Lan.

You haven't recovered yet.

Why did you come out?

You need more rest.

Don't worry. I'm back on the mend.

I wonder where Martial Uncle Youquan

found the elixir.

I feel much better after taking it.

Strangely, the soothing incense is lighted every time to put me to sleep

before taking it.

What kind of elixir is it

should be taken only after I sleep?

Anyway,

my mind has become calmer after that,

and my sleep has improved a lot.

Yang Lan, the elixir is...

Rocky...

No. I don't want to hear his name.

Bai Su.

Go and see if the tea is ready.

Bring it over. I want to talk to Fengling.

Yes.

Hold on.

Rocky bought me some new fabrics.

I want to use them to make clothes,

but I can't decide.

Bai Su, let's go and pick it.

Miss Que'er, I'm sorry.

I'm going to help Her Highness with her medication today.

I'm afraid that I can't go with you.

Que'er, I'll go with you.

No. Bai Su is skilled in needlework. I want Bai Su.

Bai Su, you'll go with her.

Fengling, we shall talk another day.

Yang Lan.

Que'er.

I'm the savior of King Rocky.

Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

Everyone listens to her instead.

So what?

Why should we listen to you?

Who are you?

Yao Tingxin, the fourth princess of Mirror Sea Yao Palace.

Greetings, Miss Que'er.

Tingxin.

Why do you stroll around the courtyard today?

Demons of Qilai Mountain are discussing

that an important person

whom King Rocky has never forgotten has arrived.

I'm curious. So I came to take a look.

You said

that they wouldn't listen to me

even though I'm King Rocky's savior.

What does that mean?

It's true

that you've rescued King Rocky once

and he feels indebted to you.

However, Yang Lan and King Rocky have gone through many challenges together,

and she saved him countless times.

The demons of Qilai Mountain wouldn't listen to you

just because you knew King Rocky first

and have saved him before.

To make them listen to you,

it depends

on how much contribution you've made to Qilai Mountain

and whether or not you can win over their hearts.

I know I have no prestige.

That's because I left Qilai Mountain

over a hundred years.

I can learn things that I don't know.

I can do whatever Yang Lan can.

I can help Rocky

just like how Yang Lan has done.

I'm not inferior to her.

I'll make everyone in Qilai Mountain

recognize me.

Good. What a fighting spirit.

In this case,

I shall wait and see.

Miss Que'er, look.

Do you like this place?

This chair

should be made as big as Her Highness, understood?

- Yes. - Yes.

Miss Que'er.

We'll make an exact big chair

and place it here.

Are you satisfied with this?

Very much.

All of them refuse to listen to me.

Only you listen to me.

And you even came up with such a good idea for me.

I'll tell Rocky

to reward you handsomely.

Sure.

- Thank you, Miss Que'er. - Thank you, Miss Que'er.

I'm having a seat like this

so that I can govern Qilai Mountain

together with Rocky

and contribute to Qilai Mountain.

As long as I work hard,

I'll gain the support of the demons for sure.

Rightfully so.

That's right.

Why did Miss Que'er

sit on Her Highness's seat?

King Rocky hasn't said anything yet.

She's getting ahead of herself.

Stop it.

It's troublesome if she hears us.

Let's leave.

Black Mole, where are you going?

I'm looking for King Rocky and Yang Lan

for some important documents.

Give them to me.

I'll process these documents.

These are confidential documents regarding firearms.

Usually, we deliver it directly from the Firearms Division

to King Rocky or Yang Lan.

No one can view the documents,

except for them.

How could you talk like this?

It's again her.

Miss Que'er.

Since the establishment of Qilai Mountain over a hundred years ago,

everything has been done

according to rules and regulations.

It's better to report this matter to King Rocky first

before we decide.

That's not right.

Those were the rules in the past

when Miss Que'er

wasn't in Qilai Mountain.

Given the relationship

of Miss Que'er with King Rocky,

what's the issue with her looking at these confidential documents?

Roc-Demon King, you're egging Miss Que'er on

to violate the rules of Qilai Mountain.

What's your intention?

I egged her on? Don't accuse me of that.

Miss Que'er will help King Rocky with official affairs.

It's natural for her to read them.

That's right.

Why?

Do you only respect Her Highness

and not Miss Que'er?

That's right.

Now that I'm back.

These rules and regulations no longer apply.

So what if I read

this confidential document?

Give them to me.

No.

How dare you!

Hand them over.

How could you use violence?

Beauty.

Stop it.

Let go of me.

Stop it.

Let go of me.

Beauty, we meet again.

I've missed you so much.

Let go of me.

Let me kiss you.

Stop it.

Your Highness.

You slapped me?

Black Mole offended me at first.

What right do you have to slap me?

Black Mole did nothing wrong.

You couldn't let someone hit him.

He did nothing wrong?

He's wrong for not taking me seriously

and scaring me with those rules and regulations.

I created those rules and regulations.

Come at me if you're not satisfied with them.

I knew you were behind this.

You're just an advisor

Rocky recruited.

Qilai Mountain is my spot.

You have no right to dominate it.

Que'er, you mistook her.

Rules and regulations are essential to govern a reign.

To establish Qilai Mountain,

Yang Lan must create those rules and regulations.

Besides, Qilai Mountain was founded

by both Yang Lan and Rocky.

Why are you taking her side?

I know what she's plotting.

She doesn't like me. So she targets me

and wants to chuck me out.

Because she intends to take over Qilai Mountain

and make Rocky hate me.

What are you standing there for?

Get back to your work!

All right.

Stand right there.

Stop making a scene out of this.

Que'er isn't a match for Her Highness.

Let's not waste our effort on her.

He's right. Let's leave.

Que'er.

You took over my territory

and position

while I was away.

You wicked woman.

Shameful.

Yang Lan.

Let's not persist on this,

for my sake.

Are you defending her?

No.

I just want this to end here.

Yang Lan.

Rocky, what should we do now? Yang Lan is angry.

Things are getting worse.

Rocky, Yang Lan wanted to hit me.

And no one here stood up for me,

except for you.

You've always been so kind to me.

You're at fault in this.

Yang Lan was acting fairly.

She didn't mean to hit you

I hope

that you won't simply trust anyone

and act rashly.

Yang Lan, don't be angry-with Rocky.

He had no choice

but to stop you just now.

Perhaps he didn't want Que'er to get hurt.

Don't be angry, Yang Lan.

Rocky

wouldn't want to go against you.

He wouldn't be so insensible.

I'm going back.

I'm sorry, Yang Lan.

I know Que'er was at fault.

Why did you defend her then?

I owe Que'er too much.

I can't let her down or hurt her again.

And you're doing that

to me instead.

For your sake,

I give a concession.

I listen to you

as long as you punish the Heavenly Emperor.

I've never intervened with you

when you went to rescue her and resurrect her.

But what about you?

Have you ever considered me?

You didn't tell me a thing

before bringing her back.

And you didn't explain anything afterward.

What do you take me for?

Do you know

that the entire demonic army in Qilai Mountain

is laughing at me?

I end up in this situation because of you.

How am I supposed to stay here?

I'm the only friend of Que'er

who she can depend on

in this world.

She forsook her life for me.

There's no way I can turn on her

and walk over her,

let alone leave her

in Wuji Hall with Venerable Master Wuji.

I must bring her back.

Que'er.

Que'er.

What else do you care about

besides her?

Do you remember

that you're the king of Qilai Mountain?

You're our hope.

Have you ever thought about it

why Venerable Master Wuji

sent her back now?

Have you ever thought

of what his intention is?

You didn't.

You wouldn't care about anything

as long as she could be resurrected.

For so many years

we have endured

all hardships

and overcome difficulties together

however how harsh things

threw at us.

But I realize

that I knew nothing about you.

I'm sorry.

For everything I did

was my promise to Que'er.

I promised to protect her.

If I can't even fulfill this,

how am I going to face her

and repay

her sacrifice?

I must make good on my promise.

Promise?

You want to talk about promises now, right?

Let's talk about it now.

Do you mean the promise we make before?

I want you

to fulfill your promise right now.

I want you

to marry me.

Right now.

Yang Lan.

Why now...

Didn't you tell me

that you could agree to anything?

You told me that.

Why?

Can't you do this now?

You

can't satisfy this?

No, Yang Lan.

This is quite tricky.

I have no idea how to deal with it.

I...

Don't push me.

Don't push you?

Huh?

Fine.

Okay, let's say I'm pushing you.

I'm telling you.

Make a decision right now.

Either you marry me

or we'll end here.

Yang Lan.

Let go of me.

Don't pry into my business.

Isn't this what you want?

Splitting ways

is what you want, right?

I... I didn't mean that...

Stop already.

Shi Youwu.

Mark my words.

I, Yang Lan, am done with you.

Today, you failed me.

If I ever see you again,

I'll kill you.

♪ If I linger, who will I worry about? ♪

♪ One thought turns into a momentary spark ♪

Sir.

Have you been chopping firewood here all along?

Yes.

I've been using this mountain path

for over 30 years.

Miss.

You must be of noble status, right?

I would think that I encountered a fairy

if you wore the heavenly streamers on.

But what brings a young lady like you

up the mountain alone?

Sir, what's that place?

Temple of Sacred Mother.

Over a hundred years ago,

a deity came to the local official's dream,

saying that the Heavenly Court would entrust the Scared Mother

as the guardian deity of Lan Mountain.

Once the local official woke up,

he led a group of people

to build this temple on the mountain.

Back in the day,

many people used to flock in to pray.

However,

Sacred Mother has never shown up over the years.

The temple has turned into ruins now.

[Temple of Sacred Mother]

I'm heading to the capital city

to seek opportunities through my late father's connections.

If I succeed,

I'll return to thank you for answering my prayer

and sculpting a golden statue for you.

Golden statue is just no use.

Who was it?

Did the Scared Mother just show up?

Since you said so,

I'll change it.

As long as I can succeed,

I'll fulfill whatever request

you offer.

(I was born with a lofty status)

(and with a tough life.)

(No matter how desperately I chase after it,)

(everything ends up in vain.)

(Since that's the case,)

(why not I become the master of my destiny?)

Do you mean that you'll agree to any request?

Anything.

All right.

If you break your word,

I won't spare you,

and you can never be reborn.

I won't go back on my word.

Thank you for your grace, Your Highness.

She left everything here.

Everything!

Don't.

You left everything here

because you don't want me to find you.

Why?

Why are you so determined?

Rocky, go and bring Yang Lan back.

Qilai Mountain is the result of your effort.

I believe that she'll come back.

Go and get her back.

Bring her back to me!

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

Yes, my lord.

Youwu, I'm returning to Wankong Mountain to search for her.

Youwu, I'll go to Guanjiangkou.

Perhaps she has returned.

Don't be anxious.

We must get her back.

We must get her back.

Rocky.

Don't go searching for her.

Just let her be.

I'll accompany you from now on.

I'm sorry, Que'er.

I don't want to hurt you.

But there's something I must tell you.

I love Yang Lan.

She's the only one in my heart.

I can't be without her.

I must get her back.

What about me?

Why did you bring me back?

I owe you my life

and a promise.

I brought you back

because I want to ensure your safety

and that you'll be happy and carefree,

living the best days.

But those are not what I want.

I want both of us to go back to our past.

Que'er.

What I owe you,

I can repay with my own life.

As for what you want,

I'm incapable of that.

Please listen to me, Que'er.

I only

regard you as my closest family.

Nothing more.

Stele of the Savior of King Rocky.

I didn't know that I'd received

Rocky's care in the past.

It's just that the care he gave

only contains guilt, indebtedness, attachment, and promises.

But the fake Que'er's obsession runs deeply.

Regarding the truth,

what should I do now?

I'm sorry, Yang Lan.

If it weren't for Que'er

and me,

you wouldn't have left,

nor Rocky wouldn't have been heartbroken

about your departure.

Please let Rocky find you.

Please come back with Rocky.

Because he misses you very much.

Yang Lan.

Yang Lan.

Yang Lan.

I've told you

Yang Lan wasn't in Mirror Sea.

Look how anxious you're after losing her.

You shouldn't have hurt her.

If anything were to happen to Yang Lan,

you're going to suffer.

But there's no sign of Her Highness.

My lord.

This is the newly drafted list of official promotions.

My lord, many new demons

have come to Qilai Mountain lately.

This is the arrangement of the new army.

My lord.

I captured a multiple-eyed demon who caused trouble.

Please decide, my lord.

My lord, our mine has been depleted,

and we need to open a new one.

It has always been

handled by Her Highness.

What should we do now?

Well.

We can handle these matters ourselves.

Let's give some peace to King Rocky.

But per the rules of Her Highness,

these matters

must be decided by King Rocky

or Her Highness herself.

If we were to decide on this, I'm afraid...

Stop already.

Systems might change, anyway.

We've encountered similar situations before.

We can hash this out together.

- I shall take my leave. - I shall take my leave.

Wait.

Leave them here.

I'll handle them.

My lord.

We've been managing Qilai Mountain for a century.

We're capable

of them.

Please rest assured, my lord.

He's right.

I understand your kind intention.

But I'm the King of Qilai Mountain.

I shouldn't be clouded by emotions.

Don't worry.

I'm not vulnerable.

I can still hold on.

It's all right.

Guitouchong, continue to look for Yang Lan

in every nook and corner.

Yes, my lord.

Lippy, you'll handle the training for new recruits.

I want them all to be able to fight

when Heavenly Army comes.

Yes, my lord.

Dark Demon King.

You Five Demon Kings defend Qilai Mountain

and don't engage in conflict with Heavenly Army.

If you do,

make sure to finish them all.

Don't give them a chance to start the war early.

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

Kidnapper Lv.

Yes, my lord.

Make sure the operation of Qilai Mountain

runs smoothly.

If there's anything you don't understand,

come to me.

Yes, my lord.

Bring them to me.

Gujing.

How's the preparation of gate defenders?

Your Majesty.

We're conducting meticulous training

according to the plan given by you.

Speed up the training.

We must take down Qilai Mountain this time.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, there's a wedding invitation from Mortal Realm.

A wedding invitation?

Who's getting married this time?

Tell me.

Come on.

I'm going to get married soon. Bite me if you can. By Yang Lan.

Send the troops out right now!

No, Your Majesty.

All troops aren't yet fully prepared.

Besides, the situation in Qilai Mountain is unstable,

and Yang Lan involves several powers.

It's not the right time to start a war.

Please reconsider it, Your Majesty.

Send the troops out immediately!

Arrest Yang Lan!

Your Majesty, I request to lead the army to arrest Yang Lan.

Good. God of Great Strength will lead the troops this time.

You must capture Yang Lan alive.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

[Temple of Sacred Mother]

[Double happiness]

This

will be the most capricious act in my life.

No matter what,

it will be the grandest wedding

in the Three Realms.

I will face it with the most beautiful me,

be it my happiness

or my death.

My lord.

[I'm getting married soon. Heavenly Court wants to capture me. Handle it for me. By Yang Lan.]

What's the matter, Master?

I'm getting married soon.

Heavenly Court wants to capture me.

Handle it for me.

By Yang Lan.

The Heavenly Emperor

also received a letter like this.

His Majesty knows too.

Master, what's Young Lady

up to again this time?

Gather the army.

We're heading to Lan Mountain.

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's go.

Let me put on this hairpin for you.

Are you sure

you can call me that now?

You better off wait until we pass this.

We're getting married soon, anyway.

Nothing will go wrong.

That's hard to say.

Maybe

someone might come to snatch the bride.

Snatch the bride?

I'm the Grand Chancellor,

and I've gathered 100,000 soldiers

to guard Lan Mountain.

Is it possible for someone

to snatch you away from the massive troop?

Speaking of which,

how lucky I am.

I never thought I would become

the Grand Chancellor,

let alone marry

the beautiful Sacred Mother of Lan Mountain one day.

There are still many things you can't imagine.

My lord.

My lord.

Here's a wedding invitation for you.

Wedding invitation? Who's getting married this time?

It's... Yang Lan.

[The wedding liquor is warm to be served. It's up to you whether to attend or not.]

On the Moon Tree,

I've covered the flower bud

of both you and Yang Lan's love flower.

Everything in the Three Realms

is under my control,

not only you but also Yang Lan, Fengling

and the demonic hordes of Qilai Mountain.

I can do anything to them at my will,

to save them or to make them vanish.

Attention.

The War is related to the dignity of His Majesty.

Only victory is allowed.

We must take down the Sacred Mother of Lan Mountain.

- Yes. - Yes.

Depart.

Will Third Brother go too?

Yes.

What about the rock demon?

Maybe.

What are we going for?

We're going to watch a play.

What's it?

A new play called

God of Great Strength's Defeat.

What are you doing?

Remove weeds.

If I don't eradicate

these harmful things

from roots,

there'll be trouble in the future.

You said that the mausoleum here

is buried with your buddies.

Yes.

How did they die?

They were killed by a demon.

A demon?

Yes.

A rock demon.

They were all soldiers I trained,

who fought alongside me everywhere,

and we had been on the brink of death several times."

They were like my brothers.

Until they were killed by that rock demon,

the entire Tianhe Army

were wiped out.

What about you?

How did you manage to escape from the heinous clutches of the rock demon?

At that time,

I was incarcerated in a dungeon.

I wasn't on the battlefield.

I wanted to die with them,

but I couldn't.

must avenge them.

I want to capture that rock demon

to bring their souls to peace.

So,

you're doing all things

for their sake.

It must be tough for you.

You should go back now.

Let's go back together.

(Yu'er has developed feelings for me.)

(Though she is cheerful)

(and open-minded in this life,)

(she takes relationships seriously.)

(No. She'll drag into this deeper.)

(I can't let her involve in this.)

There's no way for Her Highness to marry that scholar.

This is a humiliation to Qilai Mountain.

Exactly.

Qilai Mountain wouldn't have established so well

without Her Highness.

Qilai Mountain can't be without Her Highness.

My lord.

You can let her marry a mere scholar without doing anything.

That's right.

My lord, this is the last chance.

Nothing can be done to fix it if we miss it.

My lord.

Please snatch Her Highness back.

- Yes, snatch her back. - Snatch her back.

What can I do

after stopping her wedding?

Can I marry her?

Can I make her happy?

Can I stand up against the Vulnerable One

to protect her?

My lord!

My lord.

Both the Heavenly Court and Guanjiangkou have sent out troops.

They deployed all of their troops.

All of their troops?

Be that as it may,

with the strength of Qilai Mountain,

we can annihilate them all.

Yes, we can annihilate them all.

All of them.

My master is getting married.

As her disciple, I'll take some people with me to attend the wedding.

You won't mind it, right?

I'm attending too.

Nuan and Her Highness are close friends.

She wants to go too.

I've been serving under Her Highness for years.

I must attend her wedding, no matter what.

I must attend.

My lord.

I'm going.

I'm leaving.

Yisu, wait for us.

You're coming too.

Of course. If we don't,

we'll feel embarrassed to stay in Qilai Mountain.

Let's join forces

to defeat both Tianhe Army and Guanjiangkou troops

as well as that scholar.

Good. Killing

is something I'm good at.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

What did you just say?

Deities aren't allowed to fall in love?

What...

What will they do to me, then?

They might kill you.

My father died like that.

People said if the Overlord wants you to die by the second watch,

you can never survive the fourth watch.

If the Heavenly Emperor wants you to die by the second watch,

perhaps you will perish even earlier.

Maybe

we can call off the wedding.

I can stand down

from Grand Chancellor too.

If you do,

you'll die right now.

Do you still remember what you promised?

You said you were willing to do anything

as long as you became an official.

Do you remember how your political enemies

died?

What are you after?

What am I after?

I just want to know

that when I jump off

from the cliff before me,

will he hold onto me

and never let go of me?

This underserved fortune is beyond me.

I don't want it anymore.

Your Highness, please spare my life.

Please spare my life.

Please spare my life, Your Highness.

I beg of you.
