=Episode 17=
Look, it's the phoenix fireworks!
Shaped like a phoenix!
- The phoenix fireworks are coming this way!
- Look!
Phoenix fireworks!
So beautiful.
The phoenix fireworks are flying away.
Then light it up for me.
It looks good there.
Let's go. Let's go check it out.
Lanterns!
Look, mine floated further than yours.
It means my wish
will come true before yours.
Yueru, here, this one is ready.
Yueru.
Lanterns!
Squat down.
Lanterns!
Make a wish.
Hurry.
Look.
Your wish will definitely come true too.
Yueru,
you can't drink like this. It'll get you drunk.
I wish I could get drunk,
but the more I drink,
the clearer my head gets.
There must be something wrong
with this wine.
You can't drink like this, Yueru.
You
I'm not drunk. You don't need to hold me.
No need to hold me.
- Ling'er, where are you?
- Yueru, Yueru.
I'm here, I'm here.
Ling'er, why are you here?
Ling'er,
are we good friends?
Yes, we'll always be.
Ling'er,
promise me
you won't leave again.
Whether it's for me or for
Whoever it is, right?
Yueru, I promise you
that from now on,
I won't leave.
No matter what happens,
I will stay with you all.
Stay with us, stay with us.
Ling'er is the best.
Ling'er won't make people sad or upset.
Yueru.
Yueru, actually, I
Ling'er,
listen to me.
I'm only telling you this.
It's like
suddenly,
something bad appeared in my mind.
Really annoying.
I just wanted to shake it off, shake it,
but no matter how I shook,
it wouldn't leave.
Sometimes, I really
get annoyed with myself.
But now, it's okay.
It seems like it can get out.
I'll shake it out.
- Out! Out!
- Yueru.
- Yueru!
- Out!
Yueru, Yueru, it's okay.
It's alright now.
It's alright.
Out!
It's okay, Yueru.
Tang Yu, send Scholar
back to the inn first.
Ling'er.
Ling'er,
it's not your fault.
She's crazy enough,
and even crazier when drunk.
Xiaoyao, don't be like this to Yueru.
I
Why am I the bad one?
Li Xiaoyao,
you're the worst.
That's right. That's right.
I'm the worst.
Stop!
Stop! Stop running!
Help! Catch the thief!
Stop! Stop running!
- Yueru!
- Catch the thief!
- Ling'er, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Catch the thief!
- Stop running!
I'll chase her.
You go back to the inn with them first.
We'll meet at the inn.
Savage girl!
Still running, huh?
Here's your purse.
Now let me go.
You!
You can do anything,
but why be a thief?
I hate thieves the most.
Let me ask you.
Am I gentle?
Gentle, gentle.
Am I pretty?
Pretty, pretty.
Then why doesn't anyone like me?
Like?
I like you.
What?
You can't like me.
You can only like her.
Miss,
just end it quickly for me, please.
- I'm begging you.
- Let me ask you.
Am I not nice? Say something!
- Savage girl!
- Why not speak?
Stop it.
Don't go.
- Come back!
- Thief, don't run!
You're drunk.
Let's go back and rest early.
I'm not drunk.
I'm very clear-headed.
I recognize you.
You're the thief who stole my things.
Nonsense. When have I
ever stolen your things?
You did steal my things.
Give them back to me.
Ling'er.
Yueru is okay, right?
What could happen to her?
- Let's go and take her back.
- She's just drunk.
Here.
What's wrong?
Do you think this person
looks a bit familiar?
Never seen him.
How come I feel
I have seen him somewhere before?
Xiaoyao.
Is the savage girl okay?
She's asleep now.
Ling'er, it's late.
I'll take you back to your room to rest.
Ling'er, you don't know how heavy she is.
It was so hard to carry her back.
Really.
Greetings, Your Highness.
You are
Mr. Shi?
It's been ten years.
I didn't expect you to remember me.
Mr. Shi,
how come you are here?
Your Highness,
I'm here this time,
firstly, to ask you to return to Nanzhao.
The king misses you very much.
No matter what misunderstandings
occurred before,
I hope you can return to the King's side
for the sake of your kinship.
Mr. Shi,
I indeed plan to return to Nanzhao,
but
not with you.
There's another
important message for you.
It's about the Witch Queen.
My mother?
I have discovered
the Witch Queen's statue
is at Yunmeng Marsh.
Back then, she sacrificed herself
to suppress the Water Demon Beast,
turning into a stone statue.
Afterwards, due to the floods,
her statue went missing.
For ten years,
I have visited various places
and finally found the statue.
This time, I came to find you,
hoping you could go with me to check.
If the statue is indeed the Witch Queen,
you might be
the only one who can revive her.
I can revive my mother?
There are rumors as such.
So, Your Highness,
please go with me to Yunmeng Marsh.
Even if I go,
I'll go with my friends.
Your Highness,
the rebels of the Moon Worship Sect
are also looking for the statue.
It's better that fewer people know about it.
Let me think it over.
Tang Yu.
Tang Yu.
What's wrong, My Lady?
What did you just call me?
My
A'nu.
I'm telling you.
I know you have no friends.
I want to be your good friend,
your only good friend.
My Lady,
you're drunk.
Call me A'nu.
A'nu.
I don't care
whether you accept it or not.
I have decided
I'm your only good friend,
A'nu.
I have to share this great news
with Ling'er.
I shall take my leave, Your Highness.
Ling'er, are you okay?
I'm fine.
I finally remembered
who that weird old man was.
He's Elder Shi, the leader
of the Witch King's guards.
Why did he come to you?
A'nu,
Tang Yu,
I have something to tell you.
Indeed, there are rumors
that the Witch Queen
is still in this world.
So, I want to go and see.
Ling'er,
it's been ten years
since you saw that weird old man.
Now, with factions
within the Nanzhao court,
it's uncertain where his loyalties lie.
Listening to him
might be risky.
But,
I don't want to miss
any clues about my mother.
Ling'er,
if you want to go,
I will definitely accompany you.
Even if that weird old man
means you harm,
Tang Yu and I won't let him succeed.
Thank you, A'nu.
Who's there?
Coming.
Ling'er,
why haven't you rested yet?
So, Xiaoyao,
I want to go to Yunmeng Marsh to see
if my mother's statue
is really there.
This Elder Shi suddenly appeared.
What if it's a trap?
Xiaoyao,
but,
that's the only clue
to my mother.
And I have always had a question
I want to ask my mother.
Ling'er,
if you must go,
I'll go with you.
Even to the ends of the earth,
I'll accompany you.
Thank you, Xiaoyao.
Why thank me?
Wherever you want to go,
I, Li Xiaoyao,
will accompany you.
Ling'er,
let me hug you.
Only then
can I truly confirm
you're by my side.
Ever since you left last time,
I have occasionally been afraid
that you might disappear again
at any moment.
Xiaoyao,
I won't leave you again.
One must be careful with drinking.
Not listening to the sage's words
brings a headache to me right away.
Last night, it was Tang Yu
who carried you back.
Thank you, Tang.
And what about me?
With your valor,
of course,
you walked back on your own.
Of course.
I always behave when I'm drunk,
never causing trouble.
Come on, Yueru, have some porridge.
I'm done. Let's go.
What are you rushing off to do?
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
I heard it's very lively outside.
Tang Yu and I will wander around all day.
We're not leaving
until tomorrow morning anyway. Bye.
I also have important things to do,
unlike some people
who just roam around all day.
You're all leaving? Where to?
I won't tell you.
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm not following you.
Then why ask?
Of course, I have to ask,
so I don't run into you
and get dragged into trouble.
Yueru,
we suddenly learned
of my mother's news yesterday,
so we're going to investigate.
If you can really find your mother,
that would be wonderful.
Ling'er, let's go.
Let's pack our things in the room.
Goodbye.
Let's go.
When do we leave tomorrow?
Once Mr. Shi has prepared the boats,
we can depart.
I just went out for a look.
Today, Yangzhou City is very lively.
Let's enjoy ourselves today.
Okay, I'll listen to you.
Then I'll wait for you
in the lobby after packing.
Okay, I'll go in.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi, why are you here?
Your Highness,
who was that just now?
He's Xiaoyao.
When we were on the Fairy Island,
he saved me and Grandma
and said he would go with us
to Yunmeng Marsh.
Is his father named Li Sansi?
Exactly.
Mr. Shi, do you know him?
He cannot go with us.
Why?
Xiaoyao is not only my savior,
but I also promised him before
Your Highness,
Li Xiaoyao's parents
are great sinners of Nanzhao.
Sinners?
How could that be?
Ten years ago, Li Sansi and his wife
sneaked into the Nanzhao Imperial Palace
and stole the Witch Queen's
Water Spiritual Bead,
so the Witch Queen
lacked the power to suppress
the Water Demon Beast causing the flood.
In the end,
she had to perish along with it.
Later, they were poisoned
by the Shadowless Poison,
fled Nanzhao, and soon died violently.
That's impossible.
Impossible.
How could this be?
How could this be?
Your Highness,
this is widely known in Nanzhao.
What I have said
contains not a single lie.
Ling'er.
Your Highness,
Li Xiaoyao is the son of sinners.
Our people will never allow Li Xiaoyao
to enter Nanzhao.
If he appears in Nanzhao,
someone will certainly
kill him immediately.
Ling'er,
are you done?
Your Highness.
Ling'er.
Ling'er.
Cut ties if necessary.
If you find it difficult,
let me do it.
Are you ready?
It's very lively outside today.
Xiaoyao.
- That's
- Xiaoyao,
let's go now.
That must be Elder Shi, right?
Ling'er, why the rush?
- Li.
- Scholar.
Shall we also take a walk outside?
Which direction did they go just now?
Probably east.
Then I'll go west.
Yueru, I'll come with you.
What did you say is fun in Yangzhou?
Tang Yu.
Tang Yu, look.
There's a weak aura of Spiritual Beads
in the southwest direction.
But the light is so faint.
It means it's still very
Tang Yu,
you smiled.
A'nu,
I have decided.
From now on,
you are my only good friend.
No, wait,
you just said "from now on".
What about before?
Did you have good friends before?
Yes.
Who?
Do I know them?
No.
Was that person important to you?
Used to be very important.
But from now on,
not anymore.
Tell me.
Who was that person?
Five Color Woven Bracelet!
Sir, would you like to buy
two Five Color Woven Bracelets?
Ling'er.
Come take a look.
These are Five Color Woven Bracelets.
It's the Dragon Boat Festival now
when the pure yang energy
of heaven and earth is at its peak.
Wearing these bracelets
can attract good fortune and ward off evil,
bringing blessings.
Two, please.
Alright.
Here you go.
Thank you. Take care.
Let's go.
Five Color Woven Bracelet!
Look at these Five Color Woven Bracelets!
Five Color Woven Bracelet!
Sir, have a look.
I hope the Five Color Woven Bracelet
can help Ling'er
ward off evil spirits
and make her happy,
casting all worries away.
Xiaoyao,
I also hope
that you can live a happy
and peaceful life
and soon become
a renowned hero.
Ling'er,
before,
I always wanted to be a hero,
but now,
I'd rather be your Xiaoyao.
Yueru.
Yueru, where are you going?
I'm shopping,
just walking around and looking.
This doesn't look like shopping.
It looks more like
you're rushing somewhere.
Not at all. Yangzhou City is so big.
If you don't walk fast,
how can you see everything?
You're just skimming,
so you can't see anything at all.
Look,
there's a performance over there.
I'm going to check it out now.
If it weren't for me stopping you,
you would have already walked past it.
Bravo!
Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Bravo!
Thank you, thank you.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Very good!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
This way! This way!
Yueru, look, look.
They're about
to start the show.
Bravo! Bravo!
Jinyuan,
I don't want to watch anymore. Let's go.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Do you think the "Legend of the White Snake"
is that interesting?
Why do these people watch it
over and over again?
Right. I have seen it
like ten or twenty times.
The white snake demon
transforms into a lady
and marries Xu Xian
to repay the debt of gratitude.
But it ends tragically.
What a great and touching story.
But,
the white snake really seems pitiful.
I don't see it that way.
I think Xu Xian is the pitiful one.
He could have lived
a normal life,
but ended up
with his family destroyed by a snake,
disenchanted with the world,
and became a monk in the end.
Who's more pitiful?
The white snake isn't bad either.
Right.
She's a good demon.
Humans and demons have different paths.
Honey!
Honey!
Honey!
Ling'er,
why are you crying?
This play is all fictional.
Don't take it seriously.
But some things
are real.
They're just stories,
not to be taken seriously.
Right.
Right.
Ling'er, stop crying.
It's not a good play. Forget it.
Let's go. There are
revolving scenic lanterns over there.
I'll take you to watch it.
Xiaoyao,
let's go back.
Rice wine, yellow wine! We have it all!
- Jinyuan.
- Come take a look.
I want to go back.
Back where?
Back to the inn.
Alright, I'll go with you.
No,
I want to go home.
To Suzhou City?
I haven't been back
to Lin Fortress for too long.
My dad must be worried.
Going back to Suzhou sounds good.

Now I don't want to go back.

Then,
why don't you go to the capital with me?
My parents often mention you.
♪Our love♪
Jinyuan,
where should I go?
Don't worry. Don't rush.
I know you have been upset
these last few days.
I understand.
But you also need to understand
love must be voluntary.
No regrets after actions.
Stop it when necessary.
Let go and then leave.
Jinyuan, you're being abstruse again.
I can't understand you.
It's not that.
You just don't want to show it.
Then how should I show it?
Should I show happiness,
or should I show sadness?
Forget it,
even you,
the all-knowing Number One Scholar,
can't answer.
How am I supposed to know what to do?

Yueru,
how about
I escort you back to Suzhou City first?
No need.
Being alone is also fine.
When do you plan to leave?

do you want to say goodbye?

Old wine! Aged wine here!
Ling'er, come with me.
Xiaoyao, where are you taking me?
No peeking.
What are you showing me?
Ling'er,
don't open your eyes yet.
Ling'er, open your eyes now.
Legend has it
that under Qingcheng Mountain,
there was a white snake
that had cultivated for a thousand years,
named Bai Suzhen.
Because she once received kindness
from Xu Xian,
she transformed into a beautiful woman
to repay him.
Together, they visited the West Lake,
shared a boat in the rain,
and fell in love at first sight,
eventually becoming a couple.
However, Fahai interfered.
Bai Suzhen revealed her true form
on the Dragon Boat Festival,
stole the immortal grass to save her lover,
and Jinshan Temple was flooded.
In the end, she was suppressed
under the Leifeng Pagoda,
while Xu Xian
guarded the Leifeng Pagoda day and night.
His sincere love moved heaven and earth.
Later,
by the grace of heaven,
the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed,
and they were reunited,
spending the rest of their lives together.
Ling'er,
we didn't see the revolving scenic lantern
during the day,
so I specifically borrowed this to tell you
the "Legend of the White Snake"
we watched during the day was incorrect.
This is the true "Legend of the White Snake".
Whether human or demon,
as long as there is true love,
it can move heaven and earth.
Xiaoyao.
Efforts lead to outcomes.
Different choices
lead to different endings.
Ling'er,
I know that along the way,
you have had many worries
and many concerns.
You fear becoming a burden to me.
That's why you always choose
to bear everything alone silently.
But I have something
I want to tell you.
Xiaoyao, don't say it.
Let me finish.
Ling'er,
what I want to say is,
from now on,
you shouldn't bear
everything alone anymore.
In the future,
we might face many hardships,
but I believe,
like the story
in this revolving scenic lantern,
although the journey
may have twists and turns,
the ending
will surely be beautiful.
Everything will turn out the best.
Xiaoyao,
no matter what happens in the future,
let's not be apart anymore,
okay?
Okay.
We will always be together.
Your Highness.
Mr. Shi.
Your Highness,
cut ties when necessary.
Li Xiaoyao,
you and the Princess cannot be together.
What?
You old fool,
what nonsense are you spouting?
Mr. Shi, please don't say it anymore.
Your Highness,
it's better to end the pain quickly.
He's going to find out the truth
sooner or later.
What truth?
Ling'er, what's going on?
Li Xiaoyao,
you and the Princess
can never be together,
because your parents
are sinners of Nanzhao.
Nanzhao?
Were my parents really in Nanzhao?
Years ago, your parents broke
into the Nanzhao Imperial Palace
and stole the Water Spiritual Bead
from the Witch Queen.
At that time, the Water Demon Beast
caused havoc in Nanzhao,
and without the Water Spiritual Bead,
the Witch Queen couldn't subdue
the Water Demon Beast
and had to sacrifice herself
to suppress it.
All of this
started because of your parents.
Your parents
are Nanzhao's greatest sinners!
This can't be.
This can't be.
You just want to separate me and Ling'er.
Ling'er,
he's talking nonsense.
Don't believe a word he says.
A thief's son
is not worthy of being with the Princess.
You!
You slander my parents like this.
I'll kill you.
Mr. Shi!
Xiaoyao!
Xiaoyao!
Thankfully, heaven sees the truth.
In the end,
evil people will get their retribution.
No.
No, you're lying to me.
Lying to you?
Do I need to lie to a kid?
This is well known in Nanzhao.
Someone said
my parents died in Nanzhao.
Is that also true?
They
got what they deserved.
No.
This all can't be true.
You're lying to me.
You're all lying to me.
Xiaoyao.
It's impossible.
Impossible.
Impossible.
