Till The End of The Moon (2023) s01e18 Episode Script
Episode 18
1
I was powerful enough
to move mountains and seas,
but I still lost to her.
Ye Bingchang,
you're finally awake.
Who are you?
Why are you talking to me?
After experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna,
what have you learned?
You've been jealous of Ye Xiwu
since you were little,
but you couldn't do anything about it.
You could only lie to yourself,
convincing yourself over and over again
that Ye Xiwu is
the noble daughter of a legitimate wife
while you are
just a lowly concubine's daughter,
so you are inferior to her
and don't deserve everything she has.
How pathetic!
Nonsense.
I don't need to compare with her at all.
Really?
Why did you take
someone else's love line as your own?
Does your husband, Xiao Lin,
truly love you?
What if you didn't have
that extra love line?
How did you know that?
Since having this treasure,
you've gained extraordinary charm
that can conquer any man, haven't you?
However,
good and bad things come in pairs.
The dream demon kidnapped you
because she was attracted
by this love line.
So are you here to kindly warn me?
If you want to defeat Ye Xiwu,
you will need more than love lines.
In Fleeting-Life Prajna,
even if you were
the saintess of the Flying Serpent Clan,
didn't she once again
take everything from you?
Tianhuan was born
so high and noble.
If not for loving the wrong man,
would she have had such a bad ending?
What exactly are you trying to say?
Life is short.
If you only rely on your good looks,
bet everything
on a man,
and fail to seize the chances,
you will always be
nothing but a loser.
Tianhuan's tragedy will be
your future.
I'm not Tianhuan
and I have nothing to do with her!
Tianhuan had a flying serpent's power,
but all she knew was jealousy
and pleasing Mingye.
I, Ye Bingchang, am nothing like her.
What's different about you?
In this world,
nobody is more worthy of my love than me.
Tianhuan is willing to kill for her man,
but I will only do that for myself!
Clever girl.
May you be more fortunate than Tianhuan.
Tianhuan.
It's God-Obliterating Lightning.
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu, what is that?
It's a gem that I forged
from all the immortal marrow
of the entire Flying Serpent Clan.
The power of all those immortals
is condensed in this tiny thing.
It's capable
of overturning heaven and earth.
Why don't I call it
World-Alluring Jade?
Do you want to use it
to revive your father and brother?
So are you here to stop me again?
Sangjiu, don't use it.
You killed immortals,
extracted their marrow,
and forged this evil object
with devil fire.
It is not in harmony with Heaven.
Because of this,
the lightning punishment has come.
Everything has a cause and an effect.
Once you use its power,
someday
you will have to repay it.
You won't have a good ending.
I won't have a good ending?
From the moment
I withdrew the Water-Calming Sword,
I haven't cared for any good ending!
Mingye,
you are overstepping.
Out of my way!
What?
Do you want me to pay for them
with my life?
No.
I just thought of another way.
Sangjiu,
you don't have to be a devil anymore.
Everything
can still be saved.
What's your solution?
With the so-called Bone-Refining Seal?
Or did you borrow another treasure
from someone else?
I've sealed the Bone-Refining Seal
within the Numinous Terrace.
You're right.
This shouldn't be a trade
or a favor
but compensation.
What do you intend to do?
Sangjiu,
look.
This is God-Obliterating Lightning.
It is powerful enough
to shatter an immortal's soul.
It appeared
because you defied Heaven
and forged the World-Alluring Jade.
If it strikes you,
you may not survive.
Is this lightning punishment for me?
I can't believe it.
I was just one step away
from reviving everyone.
What are you doing?
Sangjiu,
I'll take the punishment for you.
When my immortal body vanishes,
my divine marrow
will replace your devil bone.
Mingye!
Let go of me!
Who allowed you to do this?
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
I won't allow it!
Let go of me!
Sangjiu,
do you know?
I never found a chance
to apologize to you.
It's my first time being a husband.
I didn't know how to love you.
And all this time,
I haven't done anything for you.
Now I'm starting to understand,
but you no longer want anything.
I failed to protect you.
I'm sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
Your husband wasn't good enough.
It was me
who made you a demon
and degenerate into a devil.
I often recall that bamboo forest.
I recall our home
and those bitter decoctions.
I recall
you tricking me
into picking leaves endlessly.
I also recall you,
running, jumping,
sleeping,
laughing,
and crying.
If I could choose,
I really wish
that I could stay with you forever
in that cottage in the bamboo forest,
peacefully living the rest of our lives.
It won't work.
It won't work!
Mingye,
no matter what you say or do,
whether you're alive or dead,
I won't forgive you!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
I know.
Hate me just like this
and then
live on.
Mingye,
I actually should've died long ago.
My physical body
had been devoured to nothing
when I was in Barren Abyss.
I don't understand.
Why do they have to suffer
for the mistakes I made?
Why do we have to be bullied
while Tianhuan can be forgiven?
Because of the hatred in my heart,
I didn't die.
Instead, I transformed
into a demon entity.
And so,
I won't survive this lightning punishment.
Nor will I be able
to accept your divine marrow.
You can never
make it up to me.
You owe me this.
Sangjiu!
Sangjiu!
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu.
Since you want to become a devil,
then I
shall become a devil with you.
Who am I?
Am I Li Susu,
Ye Xiwu,
or Sangjiu?
What happened to its eyes?
This dragon has been sleeping,
stuck in a dreamscape
called Fleeting-Life Prajna.
Whether it becomes a devil or god
will be decided at this moment.
This won't do.
If my soul disintegrates like this,
Mingye will utterly despair
and degenerate into a devil.
Mingye, you must decide carefully.
Since you couldn't
pull Sangjiu out of her fate as a devil,
then live on properly for her.
The Mingye whom Sangjiu deeply loved
isn't someone who bows to fate.
He has always been
the armored God of War.
The devil soldiers haven't left yet.
That means
I might still get to see you today.
If I cultivate hard enough
and get into Shangqing Realm,
I wonder
if I'll get to speak with you.
Will I be able to tell you
that there is a little clam spirit
that has always liked you?
She likes
the God of War who protects the Mohe River
and the Three Realms.
She likes you
for being upright and unyielding.
Sangjiu.
I…
I didn't become a devil.
I know.
You fought with the Devil God
and protected
the Four Continents and Three Realms.
All along,
you have been that God of War
who is always protecting others.
But I failed to protect you.
It's fine.
I forgive you this time.
Just this once.
The thought of becoming a devil
shouldn't be what I choose.
I will only ever be
the War God Mingye loved by Sangjiu.
The Soul-Slaying Teardrop.
Ye Xiwu.
What is this feeling?
They finally came out.
Xiao Lin.
Ye Xiwu.
Ye Xiwu!
This dragon
is truly despicable.
I've summoned my army here for nothing.
Your Majesty,
the water-parting barrier is disappearing.
We must return to shore quickly.
Mingye,
why did you choose me
to enter your Fleeting-Life Prajna?
We're finally out of this damn river
and back on solid ground.
Xiwu.
Kill her!
Xiwu, I'm your sister.
Bingchang, sorry.
I was just…
It's fine.
It's all over.
Bingchang, Ms. Xiwu,
are you all right?
Where is that sleeping dragon?
It was long dead
at the bottom of the river.
After 10,000 years,
all that is left are its bones.
But it left behind an illusion
that lures others in.
In the end,
it lured you into experiencing its dream.
Why would it do that?
For the prophecy.
To destroy the evil bone,
you will need three keys.
A dream.
You can only awaken it
by entering its dream.
A teardrop.
And a thread.
Mingye didn't end up turning into a devil.
He was troubled by love,
so he left behind this illusion
when he died.
It was probably
to enlighten the destined ones.
What did you see in there?
What did he enlighten you with?
Sangjiu,
I hope that one day
somewhere in this world,
you and Mingye
can meet each other again.
Fortunately, Tantai Jin
didn't get a demonic dragon.
Let's go back to camp first.
I still have some unfinished business.
I'm not going back with you.
Are you kidding, Ms. Xiwu?
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to Jing Kingdom.
If I succeed, I'll tell you about it.
Ms. Xiwu!
Do you have a death wish?
You just ruined Tantai Jin's grand plan.
If you go back and get caught,
he will torture you in every way!
Let her go.
I don't know what you're going to do,
but I believe you'll definitely succeed.
Everyone,
we shall meet again someday
in this big world.
Take care.
One more thing, Mr. Pang.
This thing is called
the Mirror of the Past.
When you return
to the immortal sect someday,
remember to take it back
to Xiaoyao Sect for safekeeping.
Jize deliberately adjusted the time
up a few months
so that I could come out in time
for Tantai Jin
to capture the dragon.
A dream and a teardrop.
Now I've experienced it
and acquired it.
Next,
I must make the Devil God grow a love line
and fall in love with me.
Then there is only one thing I need to do.
Your Majesty, you've seemed absent-minded
since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.
Every day you wait here for a long time.
What exactly happened there?
Why do I keep reminiscing
about Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Sangjiu.
No.
Ye Xiwu.
They look so alike.
I'm having a hard time telling them apart.
This cloak is so ugly.
I don't want it anymore.
You can have it.
Wake up!
Tantai Jin!
You're finally awake.
I took care of you all night.
I'm exhausted.
Finish your medicine.
I'm going to bed.
Tantai Jin,
you must live on.
From today on,
you will have all of your meals here.
Chuntao will bring food to you.
You will eat whatever she puts before you.
Don't you dare eat
those disgusting, nasty food scraps again.
It smells good.
This rice seems safe to eat.
Tantai Jin,
I'll drag you back to Sheng Kingdom
and lock you up.
You will never see the light of day again.
I'll be watching you
every second of every day.
As long as I'm alive,
don't ever think
of devouring demonic elixirs
and harming others.
The dream has ended.
So many days have already passed.
Ye Xiwu must have left with Xiao Lin.
Your Majesty,
General Ye brought men to receive you.
Let's go back to camp at Jia Pass.
Tantai Jin!
Haven't you already left?
Why did you come back?
For better or worse,
I have to follow my husband.
What? Don't you want me anymore?
Sweet talk.
Why is the teardrop cold again?
Tie her up.
What are you doing?
I've made up my mind to follow you.
I swam here!
I also walked for days.
My feet are worn out.
Did you swim here?
Give me that.
Captain Pianran,
lead her back.
See if she's possessed by something evil.
Remember to check carefully.
All right.
Wait!
My little darling,
what the heck are you up to?
Just stay put in here.
Don't play any tricks.
Otherwise, he really will peel off my fur.
I'm most willing to follow you.
Why would I run away?
They really treat me like a prisoner.
The first step is always the hardest.
It's true that if you let go of your ego,
you'll be able to say anything.
What exactly should I do
to make the Little Devil God love me
and grow a love line?
When I clung to him by the river earlier,
the teardrop seemed warm for a moment.
I guess I'll need to take the initiative.
Ms. Xiwu, hold on.
Ms. Xiwu!
Who is there?
It's me!
Let her in.
Can I sleep here tonight?
No.
Did Sangjiu leave you
with some kind of trauma that night?
Shut up.
In this case,
didn't you learn anything
after going through Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Learn?
Ye Xiwu,
you're so shameless.
What goes through your mind?
It's not that.
Why do you always have weird thoughts?
-I…
-I meant realizations.
Realizations.
Realizations?
Of course I have some.
First,
Mingye is such a fool.
He actually gave up the power of a god
for a woman.
Second,
the ancient Devil God is truly mighty.
One day,
I will take his place.
Please, no!
Why are you admiring the Devil God?
Do you know what, Tantai Jin?
It's such a poignant
and heart-wrenching love story.
Don't you have any other thoughts?
For example,
I think that if I like someone,
I must not be as humble as Sangjiu.
I have to say it out loud.
Say it out loud?
That was
why I came for you.
Nian Baiyu.
-At your service.
-Drag her out of here.
Tantai Jin, are you feeling shy?
Drag her out.
Yes.
-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.
-Tantai Jin, you're blushing!
-I…
-Ms. Xiwu.
-You're definitely feeling shy!
Yes! Tantai Jin!
-You're being shy!
-Confine her in her tent.
Don't let her bother me again.
If she keeps wandering,
punish her with a caning!
Did the Soul-Slaying Teardrop
just warm up again?
As if I would be shy.
It's strange.
Whenever I think of Ye Xiwu these days,
I get an itch in my chest.
It's as if
something is making its way out.
Your Highness, are you tired?
No, my mind just wandered.
Are you still thinking
about Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Your Highness,
I didn't choose to enter the dream.
Nor did I want
to commit Tianhuan's atrocious acts.
That battle I fought against you
at the bottom of the Mohe River
still gives me the chills
when I recall it.
If you're going to blame me for it,
then I…
Why would I?
You're not Tianhuan.
And I'm not Sangyou.
We both know that it was just a dream.
Your Highness,
I'm a vulnerable woman.
My life is yours to protect.
Bingchang,
now our kingdom is at stake.
Although I'm the crown prince,
I'm also your husband.
No matter how things will end,
I will protect you well.
I will never leave you.
Why are you suddenly saying such things?
A man's misfortune
is often due to himself.
But a woman's misfortune
is often due to her husband.
Look at Sangjiu who married the wrong man
and eventually degenerated out of hatred.
I was her brother only in the dream,
but my heart still aches
when I think of her now.
Your Highness is so kindhearted.
But Xiwu has gone
to Jing Kingdom.
She is a king's wife
with unlimited prosperity and wealth.
She doesn't need a fake brother's concern.
Yes.
It was just a fleeting dream after all.
Now the one I must love and protect
is you.
Why did you take
someone else's love line as your own?
Does your husband, Xiao Lin,
truly love you?
What if you didn't have
that extra love line?
Yes, without the love line,
how could he love me
so truly like this?
Without the love line,
I would still be
that bullied and neglected daughter
of a concubine.
No one would care about me
or pity me.
I meekly smile for others every day
only for everything to be snatched away.
This Fleeting-Life dream
allowed me to clearly see myself
and my so-called family.
Ye Bingchang,
you must think more for yourself.
Put this love line to good use.
Your Majesty,
I've sent Ms. Xiwu back to her tent.
Have some tea.
-You…
-You…
Drag her out.
-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.
You're definitely feeling shy!
Yes! Tantai Jin!
You're being shy!
Why am I happy for no reason
when I see her?
JIA PASS
Pianran, I'll do anything in the world,
but not this.
You have no choice.
Having you clean the poultry pen
and look after these military provisions
is His Majesty's order.
Go.
How can Tantai Jin be so cruel?
Why are these geese so big?
I can't do this. My head hurts.
I have a cold sweat. I'm lightheaded.
Do you think
I don't know your little plan?
You came back this time
to seduce Tantai Jin, didn't you?
Is it that so obvious?
There's no need to be embarrassed.
However,
His Majesty will be returning
to the capital soon.
If you don't want
to be left behind raising geese at camp,
then you must
work hard now.
Seriously?
Don't leave yet!
PEOPLE SUPPORT KIND RULERS
Where is His Majesty?
He's patrolling the camp.
Why are you bringing your belongings?
Where are you headed?
I am to go to the capital
to handle family affairs.
Fine.
You're not comfortable here anyway.
It's better that you go back.
We'll also be back in a few days.
I'll go ahead first. I'll wait for you…
I'll wait for you all to return.
I'm here to inform you
that your wife is tending the geese now.
Men are the cruelest creatures.
Baiyu, go take a look.
No!
Tantai Jin, you're horrible!
Why does the Little Devil God's smile
seem different?
Am I seeing things?
Ye Xiwu.
She has a fever. Call the medic.
I'll give her medicine right away.
Get up.
Stop faking it.
Should I find some geese to wake you up?
What happened to me?
Having swam here,
you were vulnerable to the wind.
Also, you suffered a shock.
It's all your fault.
There are so many damn fowls.
They are everywhere.
Get up and eat something.
What do you have?
Boiled goose eggs.
Steamed goose egg custard.
Salted goose meat.
Seriously?
You slaughtered them all for one offense.
How horrifying.
Dig in.
But I'm so weak.
I can't raise the chopsticks
or peel an egg.
Could you feed me?
Ye Xiwu,
I'm afraid you not only caught a cold
but also some other illness
that has affected your head.
Medic!
Stop.
Why are you so heartless?
Would I never have seen you
if I didn't faint?
I'll count to three.
All right, I'll eat.
Does it taste good?
It's not bad.
Tantai Jin,
did you find it funny
when I was chased by geese just now?
You seemed quite delighted.
Did you feel a tickle in your heart?
And you couldn't help smiling?
I did.
Is that how happiness feels?
What happiness?
It's clearly evilness.
You enjoy watching me suffer.
The Little Devil God learned
to be happy.
Has his love line started to awaken
after experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Then as long as I keep trying,
won't success be just around the corner?
Enjoy your meal.
Where are you going?
Since you're already fine,
get a good rest.
I'm leaving.
You're returning
to the capital in a few days.
Can you take me along?
Do you want to go to Jing Kingdom with me?
If not for this,
why did I swim across the river?
Yes.
I'm also wondering why.
Don't say something
like following your husband everywhere.
On the ship to Jing Kingdom,
you made it rather clear.
You don't want anything to do with me.
Didn't you leave with Xiao Lin yesterday?
Why didn't you just let him
bring you back to the Sheng Kingdom?
I just want to go with you.
Ye Xiwu,
you've been acting weird
since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.
I'll tell you this.
I'm not Mingye.
I'm not as righteous as he was.
I don't want to save the Three Realms
or protect all the people.
I know you're not Mingye.
And I'm not Sangjiu either.
But they were a couple.
We're also a couple.
Sangjiu and Mingye
didn't get to work things out in the end.
We still have a chance.
What's more, on my way here,
I met a lot of civilians.
They don't care who the king is.
They will go where they can survive.
You're a wise ruler.
Not only me, but everyone else as well,
likes you and wants to follow you.
Ye Xiwu,
nothing but lies comes out of your mouth.
How can I trust you?
I'm here and at your disposal anyway.
Believe what you want.
At my disposal?
A royal maid?
Yes.
Didn't you say you're at his disposal?
The royal maid's outfit is quite pretty.
Not bad.
A cold monarch
versus a sassy handmaid.
This is the right direction.
Your Highness,
it wasn't easy for me
to save you from the brink of death.
Please take care of your health.
Yes.
Thanks to you,
I can still live with no dignity
in this dark cave.
Is there any news about Tantai Jin?
I heard that Tantai Jin
has conquered Jia Pass.
He will return to the capital soon.
Those spineless ministers in court
have all paid allegiance to him.
How is he qualified
to be the king of Jing?
Your Highness,
no matter what they do,
I'll always be by your side.
Did you find the people
that I told you to look for?
Very good.
Let them all in.
All of the best sorcerers
of Jing Kingdom are here.
-Greetings, Your Highness.
-Greetings, Your Highness.
You're all seasoned cultivators.
I'll cut to the chase.
Do you know how Tantai Jin obtained
the ability to control demons?
I heard that he has been
hunting demon creatures
and devouring demonic elixirs.
-Yes.
-Devouring demonic elixirs.
-It's taboo!
-It's extremely risky.
Your Highness mustn't risk it!
Enough!
If Tantai Jin can do it,
why can't I?
I must
make him pay for what he did to me.
I will not wait one moment longer.
I was powerful enough
to move mountains and seas,
but I still lost to her.
Ye Bingchang,
you're finally awake.
Who are you?
Why are you talking to me?
After experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna,
what have you learned?
You've been jealous of Ye Xiwu
since you were little,
but you couldn't do anything about it.
You could only lie to yourself,
convincing yourself over and over again
that Ye Xiwu is
the noble daughter of a legitimate wife
while you are
just a lowly concubine's daughter,
so you are inferior to her
and don't deserve everything she has.
How pathetic!
Nonsense.
I don't need to compare with her at all.
Really?
Why did you take
someone else's love line as your own?
Does your husband, Xiao Lin,
truly love you?
What if you didn't have
that extra love line?
How did you know that?
Since having this treasure,
you've gained extraordinary charm
that can conquer any man, haven't you?
However,
good and bad things come in pairs.
The dream demon kidnapped you
because she was attracted
by this love line.
So are you here to kindly warn me?
If you want to defeat Ye Xiwu,
you will need more than love lines.
In Fleeting-Life Prajna,
even if you were
the saintess of the Flying Serpent Clan,
didn't she once again
take everything from you?
Tianhuan was born
so high and noble.
If not for loving the wrong man,
would she have had such a bad ending?
What exactly are you trying to say?
Life is short.
If you only rely on your good looks,
bet everything
on a man,
and fail to seize the chances,
you will always be
nothing but a loser.
Tianhuan's tragedy will be
your future.
I'm not Tianhuan
and I have nothing to do with her!
Tianhuan had a flying serpent's power,
but all she knew was jealousy
and pleasing Mingye.
I, Ye Bingchang, am nothing like her.
What's different about you?
In this world,
nobody is more worthy of my love than me.
Tianhuan is willing to kill for her man,
but I will only do that for myself!
Clever girl.
May you be more fortunate than Tianhuan.
Tianhuan.
It's God-Obliterating Lightning.
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu, what is that?
It's a gem that I forged
from all the immortal marrow
of the entire Flying Serpent Clan.
The power of all those immortals
is condensed in this tiny thing.
It's capable
of overturning heaven and earth.
Why don't I call it
World-Alluring Jade?
Do you want to use it
to revive your father and brother?
So are you here to stop me again?
Sangjiu, don't use it.
You killed immortals,
extracted their marrow,
and forged this evil object
with devil fire.
It is not in harmony with Heaven.
Because of this,
the lightning punishment has come.
Everything has a cause and an effect.
Once you use its power,
someday
you will have to repay it.
You won't have a good ending.
I won't have a good ending?
From the moment
I withdrew the Water-Calming Sword,
I haven't cared for any good ending!
Mingye,
you are overstepping.
Out of my way!
What?
Do you want me to pay for them
with my life?
No.
I just thought of another way.
Sangjiu,
you don't have to be a devil anymore.
Everything
can still be saved.
What's your solution?
With the so-called Bone-Refining Seal?
Or did you borrow another treasure
from someone else?
I've sealed the Bone-Refining Seal
within the Numinous Terrace.
You're right.
This shouldn't be a trade
or a favor
but compensation.
What do you intend to do?
Sangjiu,
look.
This is God-Obliterating Lightning.
It is powerful enough
to shatter an immortal's soul.
It appeared
because you defied Heaven
and forged the World-Alluring Jade.
If it strikes you,
you may not survive.
Is this lightning punishment for me?
I can't believe it.
I was just one step away
from reviving everyone.
What are you doing?
Sangjiu,
I'll take the punishment for you.
When my immortal body vanishes,
my divine marrow
will replace your devil bone.
Mingye!
Let go of me!
Who allowed you to do this?
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
I won't allow it!
Let go of me!
Sangjiu,
do you know?
I never found a chance
to apologize to you.
It's my first time being a husband.
I didn't know how to love you.
And all this time,
I haven't done anything for you.
Now I'm starting to understand,
but you no longer want anything.
I failed to protect you.
I'm sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
Your husband wasn't good enough.
It was me
who made you a demon
and degenerate into a devil.
I often recall that bamboo forest.
I recall our home
and those bitter decoctions.
I recall
you tricking me
into picking leaves endlessly.
I also recall you,
running, jumping,
sleeping,
laughing,
and crying.
If I could choose,
I really wish
that I could stay with you forever
in that cottage in the bamboo forest,
peacefully living the rest of our lives.
It won't work.
It won't work!
Mingye,
no matter what you say or do,
whether you're alive or dead,
I won't forgive you!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
I know.
Hate me just like this
and then
live on.
Mingye,
I actually should've died long ago.
My physical body
had been devoured to nothing
when I was in Barren Abyss.
I don't understand.
Why do they have to suffer
for the mistakes I made?
Why do we have to be bullied
while Tianhuan can be forgiven?
Because of the hatred in my heart,
I didn't die.
Instead, I transformed
into a demon entity.
And so,
I won't survive this lightning punishment.
Nor will I be able
to accept your divine marrow.
You can never
make it up to me.
You owe me this.
Sangjiu!
Sangjiu!
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu.
Sangjiu.
Since you want to become a devil,
then I
shall become a devil with you.
Who am I?
Am I Li Susu,
Ye Xiwu,
or Sangjiu?
What happened to its eyes?
This dragon has been sleeping,
stuck in a dreamscape
called Fleeting-Life Prajna.
Whether it becomes a devil or god
will be decided at this moment.
This won't do.
If my soul disintegrates like this,
Mingye will utterly despair
and degenerate into a devil.
Mingye, you must decide carefully.
Since you couldn't
pull Sangjiu out of her fate as a devil,
then live on properly for her.
The Mingye whom Sangjiu deeply loved
isn't someone who bows to fate.
He has always been
the armored God of War.
The devil soldiers haven't left yet.
That means
I might still get to see you today.
If I cultivate hard enough
and get into Shangqing Realm,
I wonder
if I'll get to speak with you.
Will I be able to tell you
that there is a little clam spirit
that has always liked you?
She likes
the God of War who protects the Mohe River
and the Three Realms.
She likes you
for being upright and unyielding.
Sangjiu.
I…
I didn't become a devil.
I know.
You fought with the Devil God
and protected
the Four Continents and Three Realms.
All along,
you have been that God of War
who is always protecting others.
But I failed to protect you.
It's fine.
I forgive you this time.
Just this once.
The thought of becoming a devil
shouldn't be what I choose.
I will only ever be
the War God Mingye loved by Sangjiu.
The Soul-Slaying Teardrop.
Ye Xiwu.
What is this feeling?
They finally came out.
Xiao Lin.
Ye Xiwu.
Ye Xiwu!
This dragon
is truly despicable.
I've summoned my army here for nothing.
Your Majesty,
the water-parting barrier is disappearing.
We must return to shore quickly.
Mingye,
why did you choose me
to enter your Fleeting-Life Prajna?
We're finally out of this damn river
and back on solid ground.
Xiwu.
Kill her!
Xiwu, I'm your sister.
Bingchang, sorry.
I was just…
It's fine.
It's all over.
Bingchang, Ms. Xiwu,
are you all right?
Where is that sleeping dragon?
It was long dead
at the bottom of the river.
After 10,000 years,
all that is left are its bones.
But it left behind an illusion
that lures others in.
In the end,
it lured you into experiencing its dream.
Why would it do that?
For the prophecy.
To destroy the evil bone,
you will need three keys.
A dream.
You can only awaken it
by entering its dream.
A teardrop.
And a thread.
Mingye didn't end up turning into a devil.
He was troubled by love,
so he left behind this illusion
when he died.
It was probably
to enlighten the destined ones.
What did you see in there?
What did he enlighten you with?
Sangjiu,
I hope that one day
somewhere in this world,
you and Mingye
can meet each other again.
Fortunately, Tantai Jin
didn't get a demonic dragon.
Let's go back to camp first.
I still have some unfinished business.
I'm not going back with you.
Are you kidding, Ms. Xiwu?
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to Jing Kingdom.
If I succeed, I'll tell you about it.
Ms. Xiwu!
Do you have a death wish?
You just ruined Tantai Jin's grand plan.
If you go back and get caught,
he will torture you in every way!
Let her go.
I don't know what you're going to do,
but I believe you'll definitely succeed.
Everyone,
we shall meet again someday
in this big world.
Take care.
One more thing, Mr. Pang.
This thing is called
the Mirror of the Past.
When you return
to the immortal sect someday,
remember to take it back
to Xiaoyao Sect for safekeeping.
Jize deliberately adjusted the time
up a few months
so that I could come out in time
for Tantai Jin
to capture the dragon.
A dream and a teardrop.
Now I've experienced it
and acquired it.
Next,
I must make the Devil God grow a love line
and fall in love with me.
Then there is only one thing I need to do.
Your Majesty, you've seemed absent-minded
since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.
Every day you wait here for a long time.
What exactly happened there?
Why do I keep reminiscing
about Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Sangjiu.
No.
Ye Xiwu.
They look so alike.
I'm having a hard time telling them apart.
This cloak is so ugly.
I don't want it anymore.
You can have it.
Wake up!
Tantai Jin!
You're finally awake.
I took care of you all night.
I'm exhausted.
Finish your medicine.
I'm going to bed.
Tantai Jin,
you must live on.
From today on,
you will have all of your meals here.
Chuntao will bring food to you.
You will eat whatever she puts before you.
Don't you dare eat
those disgusting, nasty food scraps again.
It smells good.
This rice seems safe to eat.
Tantai Jin,
I'll drag you back to Sheng Kingdom
and lock you up.
You will never see the light of day again.
I'll be watching you
every second of every day.
As long as I'm alive,
don't ever think
of devouring demonic elixirs
and harming others.
The dream has ended.
So many days have already passed.
Ye Xiwu must have left with Xiao Lin.
Your Majesty,
General Ye brought men to receive you.
Let's go back to camp at Jia Pass.
Tantai Jin!
Haven't you already left?
Why did you come back?
For better or worse,
I have to follow my husband.
What? Don't you want me anymore?
Sweet talk.
Why is the teardrop cold again?
Tie her up.
What are you doing?
I've made up my mind to follow you.
I swam here!
I also walked for days.
My feet are worn out.
Did you swim here?
Give me that.
Captain Pianran,
lead her back.
See if she's possessed by something evil.
Remember to check carefully.
All right.
Wait!
My little darling,
what the heck are you up to?
Just stay put in here.
Don't play any tricks.
Otherwise, he really will peel off my fur.
I'm most willing to follow you.
Why would I run away?
They really treat me like a prisoner.
The first step is always the hardest.
It's true that if you let go of your ego,
you'll be able to say anything.
What exactly should I do
to make the Little Devil God love me
and grow a love line?
When I clung to him by the river earlier,
the teardrop seemed warm for a moment.
I guess I'll need to take the initiative.
Ms. Xiwu, hold on.
Ms. Xiwu!
Who is there?
It's me!
Let her in.
Can I sleep here tonight?
No.
Did Sangjiu leave you
with some kind of trauma that night?
Shut up.
In this case,
didn't you learn anything
after going through Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Learn?
Ye Xiwu,
you're so shameless.
What goes through your mind?
It's not that.
Why do you always have weird thoughts?
-I…
-I meant realizations.
Realizations.
Realizations?
Of course I have some.
First,
Mingye is such a fool.
He actually gave up the power of a god
for a woman.
Second,
the ancient Devil God is truly mighty.
One day,
I will take his place.
Please, no!
Why are you admiring the Devil God?
Do you know what, Tantai Jin?
It's such a poignant
and heart-wrenching love story.
Don't you have any other thoughts?
For example,
I think that if I like someone,
I must not be as humble as Sangjiu.
I have to say it out loud.
Say it out loud?
That was
why I came for you.
Nian Baiyu.
-At your service.
-Drag her out of here.
Tantai Jin, are you feeling shy?
Drag her out.
Yes.
-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.
-Tantai Jin, you're blushing!
-I…
-Ms. Xiwu.
-You're definitely feeling shy!
Yes! Tantai Jin!
-You're being shy!
-Confine her in her tent.
Don't let her bother me again.
If she keeps wandering,
punish her with a caning!
Did the Soul-Slaying Teardrop
just warm up again?
As if I would be shy.
It's strange.
Whenever I think of Ye Xiwu these days,
I get an itch in my chest.
It's as if
something is making its way out.
Your Highness, are you tired?
No, my mind just wandered.
Are you still thinking
about Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Your Highness,
I didn't choose to enter the dream.
Nor did I want
to commit Tianhuan's atrocious acts.
That battle I fought against you
at the bottom of the Mohe River
still gives me the chills
when I recall it.
If you're going to blame me for it,
then I…
Why would I?
You're not Tianhuan.
And I'm not Sangyou.
We both know that it was just a dream.
Your Highness,
I'm a vulnerable woman.
My life is yours to protect.
Bingchang,
now our kingdom is at stake.
Although I'm the crown prince,
I'm also your husband.
No matter how things will end,
I will protect you well.
I will never leave you.
Why are you suddenly saying such things?
A man's misfortune
is often due to himself.
But a woman's misfortune
is often due to her husband.
Look at Sangjiu who married the wrong man
and eventually degenerated out of hatred.
I was her brother only in the dream,
but my heart still aches
when I think of her now.
Your Highness is so kindhearted.
But Xiwu has gone
to Jing Kingdom.
She is a king's wife
with unlimited prosperity and wealth.
She doesn't need a fake brother's concern.
Yes.
It was just a fleeting dream after all.
Now the one I must love and protect
is you.
Why did you take
someone else's love line as your own?
Does your husband, Xiao Lin,
truly love you?
What if you didn't have
that extra love line?
Yes, without the love line,
how could he love me
so truly like this?
Without the love line,
I would still be
that bullied and neglected daughter
of a concubine.
No one would care about me
or pity me.
I meekly smile for others every day
only for everything to be snatched away.
This Fleeting-Life dream
allowed me to clearly see myself
and my so-called family.
Ye Bingchang,
you must think more for yourself.
Put this love line to good use.
Your Majesty,
I've sent Ms. Xiwu back to her tent.
Have some tea.
-You…
-You…
Drag her out.
-Are you feeling shy?
-Let's go, Ms. Xiwu.
You're definitely feeling shy!
Yes! Tantai Jin!
You're being shy!
Why am I happy for no reason
when I see her?
JIA PASS
Pianran, I'll do anything in the world,
but not this.
You have no choice.
Having you clean the poultry pen
and look after these military provisions
is His Majesty's order.
Go.
How can Tantai Jin be so cruel?
Why are these geese so big?
I can't do this. My head hurts.
I have a cold sweat. I'm lightheaded.
Do you think
I don't know your little plan?
You came back this time
to seduce Tantai Jin, didn't you?
Is it that so obvious?
There's no need to be embarrassed.
However,
His Majesty will be returning
to the capital soon.
If you don't want
to be left behind raising geese at camp,
then you must
work hard now.
Seriously?
Don't leave yet!
PEOPLE SUPPORT KIND RULERS
Where is His Majesty?
He's patrolling the camp.
Why are you bringing your belongings?
Where are you headed?
I am to go to the capital
to handle family affairs.
Fine.
You're not comfortable here anyway.
It's better that you go back.
We'll also be back in a few days.
I'll go ahead first. I'll wait for you…
I'll wait for you all to return.
I'm here to inform you
that your wife is tending the geese now.
Men are the cruelest creatures.
Baiyu, go take a look.
No!
Tantai Jin, you're horrible!
Why does the Little Devil God's smile
seem different?
Am I seeing things?
Ye Xiwu.
She has a fever. Call the medic.
I'll give her medicine right away.
Get up.
Stop faking it.
Should I find some geese to wake you up?
What happened to me?
Having swam here,
you were vulnerable to the wind.
Also, you suffered a shock.
It's all your fault.
There are so many damn fowls.
They are everywhere.
Get up and eat something.
What do you have?
Boiled goose eggs.
Steamed goose egg custard.
Salted goose meat.
Seriously?
You slaughtered them all for one offense.
How horrifying.
Dig in.
But I'm so weak.
I can't raise the chopsticks
or peel an egg.
Could you feed me?
Ye Xiwu,
I'm afraid you not only caught a cold
but also some other illness
that has affected your head.
Medic!
Stop.
Why are you so heartless?
Would I never have seen you
if I didn't faint?
I'll count to three.
All right, I'll eat.
Does it taste good?
It's not bad.
Tantai Jin,
did you find it funny
when I was chased by geese just now?
You seemed quite delighted.
Did you feel a tickle in your heart?
And you couldn't help smiling?
I did.
Is that how happiness feels?
What happiness?
It's clearly evilness.
You enjoy watching me suffer.
The Little Devil God learned
to be happy.
Has his love line started to awaken
after experiencing Fleeting-Life Prajna?
Then as long as I keep trying,
won't success be just around the corner?
Enjoy your meal.
Where are you going?
Since you're already fine,
get a good rest.
I'm leaving.
You're returning
to the capital in a few days.
Can you take me along?
Do you want to go to Jing Kingdom with me?
If not for this,
why did I swim across the river?
Yes.
I'm also wondering why.
Don't say something
like following your husband everywhere.
On the ship to Jing Kingdom,
you made it rather clear.
You don't want anything to do with me.
Didn't you leave with Xiao Lin yesterday?
Why didn't you just let him
bring you back to the Sheng Kingdom?
I just want to go with you.
Ye Xiwu,
you've been acting weird
since coming out of Fleeting-Life Prajna.
I'll tell you this.
I'm not Mingye.
I'm not as righteous as he was.
I don't want to save the Three Realms
or protect all the people.
I know you're not Mingye.
And I'm not Sangjiu either.
But they were a couple.
We're also a couple.
Sangjiu and Mingye
didn't get to work things out in the end.
We still have a chance.
What's more, on my way here,
I met a lot of civilians.
They don't care who the king is.
They will go where they can survive.
You're a wise ruler.
Not only me, but everyone else as well,
likes you and wants to follow you.
Ye Xiwu,
nothing but lies comes out of your mouth.
How can I trust you?
I'm here and at your disposal anyway.
Believe what you want.
At my disposal?
A royal maid?
Yes.
Didn't you say you're at his disposal?
The royal maid's outfit is quite pretty.
Not bad.
A cold monarch
versus a sassy handmaid.
This is the right direction.
Your Highness,
it wasn't easy for me
to save you from the brink of death.
Please take care of your health.
Yes.
Thanks to you,
I can still live with no dignity
in this dark cave.
Is there any news about Tantai Jin?
I heard that Tantai Jin
has conquered Jia Pass.
He will return to the capital soon.
Those spineless ministers in court
have all paid allegiance to him.
How is he qualified
to be the king of Jing?
Your Highness,
no matter what they do,
I'll always be by your side.
Did you find the people
that I told you to look for?
Very good.
Let them all in.
All of the best sorcerers
of Jing Kingdom are here.
-Greetings, Your Highness.
-Greetings, Your Highness.
You're all seasoned cultivators.
I'll cut to the chase.
Do you know how Tantai Jin obtained
the ability to control demons?
I heard that he has been
hunting demon creatures
and devouring demonic elixirs.
-Yes.
-Devouring demonic elixirs.
-It's taboo!
-It's extremely risky.
Your Highness mustn't risk it!
Enough!
If Tantai Jin can do it,
why can't I?
I must
make him pay for what he did to me.
I will not wait one moment longer.
