The Blossoming Love (2025) s01e37 Episode Script

[Episode 37]
[Bright Snowy Pavilion]
Fate,
I ordered you to urge Demon Lord to become the strongest,
but are you really
helping him
or hindering him?
Helping him is a common method,
and hindering him is the best.
Given the Demon Lord's nature,
the more resistance he receives,
the faster he will become the strongest.
Ten thousand years ago,
you removed the celestial punishment for the Chaos Pearl,
so you were destined to be trapped
and have your soul gradually devoured by feelings.
After being reincarnated as a human being,
you will never be loved for generations.
Now, you have turned back into a divine artifact,
and your soul will continue to be devoured
until you die.
Apart from me,
no one can suppress or remove the celestial punishment
caused by feelings.
If you wish to continue to exist,
you must remain loyal to me
and never defect.
Act faster.
I must go to earth.
How much time is left?
Time
is quite different
for life
and death.
It depends on whether one
is seeking life or death.
You can see through life and death
and know everything,
so you knew Xuanxin was my brother
long ago, didn't you?
It's not long ago,
but it's also not recent.
Everything happens
for a reason.
I can only see the end
through divination,
but The Book of Fate
can see everything.
Back then, my brother was dying.
You read my fortune
and told me that my bond
with my brother was over.
Then,
even though I had access to spirit medicine,
I couldn't save him from the evil cultivator
and had to watch him be taken away.
I thought
that was the end,
but my brother survived
and was saved by the Xuantian Sect.
However,
your divination
did reveal the true end.
There is no longer any chance
of lasting my kinship with him.
Such a kinship
is killed like this.
Have you really thought about it?
I am on a different path
from him.
He's a leader with a heart for the world,
who would destroy his own abilities
to protect the people
and doesn't have any dirt in his mind,
whereas I walk around
in black and white,
covered in dust.
How would he react
if I confessed to him who I am,
and how would I deal with it?
You're so much alike.
You're both lonely but brave
for what you believe in.
After you come to Snow City this time,
whatever you want,
promise me
you won't hurt him.
I've already given you the Black Wood Seal.
Please don't involve Bao again.
If the Demon Lord is not destroyed,
the scourge will always be unpredictable,
so who in this world can stay out of it?
I don't know what he intends to do,
but I felt a strong Jade Vault Power
as the demonic power
traveled through my body.
This is the proof.
I'm sure
Senior is still inside the Demon Lord
and hasn't melted away.
In time,
we will be able to awaken him.
What
is the Demon Lord's secret?
Now, I can't fight him,
so I have to find a way
to observe his heart with the seal
and save Gao Qiumin and the others.
It's the night of the full moon.
How boring for you
to be alone in your room.
Why don't you
drink with me?
How dare you?
Get out.
Can't you be nice to me
because I brought you
good wine?
What?
Dare not drink it?
Afraid I'll poison it?
Sometimes,
it's less fun
to be too defensive.
My pleasure is to kill.
If you don't leave,
I'll start with those two at the Lava Chasm.
They're going to die sooner or later anyway,
so if you kill them tonight,
they'll be less tortured
at the Lava Chasm,
which is probably a good thing.
Whether it's now or ten thousand years ago,
they've met the right people.
What a call to envy.
But what about you and me?
I want Xie Xuechen back.
And you hate that I'm not Pearl,
In the end,
we can't get what we want,
and we just torture each other.
Who says I can't?
I want the Chaos Power
and nothing else.
Did your seal
tell you the result?
Didn't you already know?
No one can observe
if the one being observed
knows in advance and is on guard.
Isn't that just right?
Why don't we experience observing the body
and mind for ourselves?
It's just what I wanted.
He's really hurt.
I didn't realize even Demon Lord
could be hurt so badly.
It's just torture from the Lava Chasm.
Put away your pitying eyes.
I'm not Xie Xuechen,
so I don't need your comfort.
But the wound on your arm
wasn't caused by the Lava Chasm,
was it?
That was the wound Pearl bandaged for you
back when she went to the barracks.
I purposely left that wound
in order to remind myself
not to forget the hatred of the past.
Really?
The ones who suffered but didn't retaliate
were Xie Xuechen
and Zhao Ming,
not me.
I will make everyone in this world
join me
in eternal purgatory.
You
You can't observe my heart anymore.
Get lost.
Otherwise,
I don't mind digging out
the hearts of those two people for you to observe.
Got it.
Right away.
Who says observing hearts has to be done with a seal?
The scars on your body
already tell.
It's a full moon tonight,
but there seems
to be too much peace in Dark Abyss.
Take it easy.
A stone already in a deep pool
is bound to cause the ripples.
Yan Tong.
You killed him?
I did want to kill him,
but someone else
deserved to die.
Is it me Your Grace is referring to
as the one who deserves to die?
Then you have truly misjudged me
for that you gave yourself
this seal.
I am still of use to Demon Lord,
so if you kill me,
he will not spare you.
Don't worry.
You are more useful to me.
I'm just going to break
the Black Wood Seal into you.
It won't kill you.
Black Wood Seal?
I don't mind telling you.
If I can lure the Demon Lord
into using his demonic power to activate the Black Wood Seal,
the night of the full moon
will be when the Demon Lord's power is at its lowest.
The power of Fate
can recast the seal of the Lava Chasm
to suppress Demon Lord once again.
You want to activate the Black Wood Seal
by using my body as an intermediary
while Demon Lord
transfers his power into me?
That's right,
but you'll soon forget it.
Do you think the Black Wood Seal alone
can trap me?
Your Grace.
Why did you resort to a method
that would be damaging to both of us?
The more you use your demonic power,
the stronger the seal becomes.
I kill on my own terms,
regardless of the consequences.
Then the Lava Chasm is where you belong.
The Divine Emperor, help me.
You want me to betray the Demon Lord?
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
Now that you're here,
it's clear that you're trying to betray him.
The Dark Clan was born
of inner demons,
so this is nothing.
Do you not want to be
or are you unable to be
the Lord of the Dark Abyss?
Either way,
I will help Dark Abyss get a new leader.
There are probably many people
in Dark Abyss who want
to be the new Demon Lord.
Why did you choose me?
Anger Demon is reckless,
and Desire Demon is indecisive,
so you fit the bill.
We think alike,
but
can you tell me
what it is you're after?
I want everything back
the way it was.
You really are always teaming up
with despicable ones, as usual.
Unbind me now.
You can't handle them alone.
Demon Lord is a sinful man,
so he must be re-sealed
and suppressed in the Lava Chasm.
If you hadn't agreed to the other immortals' petition
and forcibly changed Zhao Ming's destiny,
how could there be a Demon Lord today?
I think the sinful one is somebody like you
who turned black and white upside down
and caused him to become a demon.
Everything has a cause and effect.
If Zhao Ming hadn't insisted on killing immortals,
how could they have petitioned me?
If I insist on protecting him today,
what will you do?
Strike the Black Wood Seal
into the Demon Lord's heart
to complete the final step of the seal.
Your Grace, please savor
the pain of a heart slaying.
Mu Xuanling.
Why is it that Black Wood Seal
not only didn't seal him
but also went to the Lava Chasm in his place?
A dead man
doesn't deserve to know.
He didn't spread Yan Tong's power
over his whole body
but made it avoid the most crucial part, his heart,
so that he could counterattack
and control Black Wood Seal
in order to have Black Wood Seal
suppressed in the Lava Chasm in his place.
As I wished.
The Book of Fate's true form
is nothing more than this.
If my soul is captured
by an outlaw after I die,
they will not be able to do evil
with this limitation.
Ridiculous.
[In ancient times, there were ten suns,]
[nine of which were struck down and buried in Dark Cloud]
[The power of the nine suns removes the restriction]
The power of the nine suns removes the restriction.
Dark Cloud Mountain.
All crap.
I'd better destroy it.
Has the plan failed?
Demon Lord's strength
and intellect
still cannot be underestimated.
What should you do next?
As long as he can trust Mu Xuanling,
the plan after that
can still continue.
If the plan is in order,
why do you look so bad?
I just have limited patience.
The Xuanling Tree only blooms in the Dark Abyss.
In the human realm,
only one survives in the courtyard
of the Swirling Snow Pavilion.
Someone once told me
that the Xuanling Tree can grow up in the human realm
and I can find my own place
in the human realm,
but
a Xuanling Tree that can't bloom
is not a real Xuanling Tree.
You just woke up and started reminiscing.
You seem to be enjoying yourself,
but I'm not interested.
Well.
Then I'll say something you want to hear.
After so many days
and what happened,
I realized
that going against you won't end well,
so I'm willing to cooperate with you
and give you all the Chaos Power.
You want me
to let Gao Qiumin and Fu Lansheng go.
And Yan Tong.
His spiritual power has been greatly damaged,
so he's useless to you,
but
before I give you the Chaos Power,
I have to take two things,
Lotus of Life
and Jun Tian Sword,
to build a grave for Xie Xuechen,
to remind me
that he has passed away,
and to cut off
all relations with the human realm
and my delusion from now on.
If you don't trust me,
you can come with me.
Okay.
So
you agreed?
I don't care
what you're up to.
I only care about what I want,
but there's one thing you need to remember.
Don't betray me again.
Otherwise,
I will really kill you.
Why did Demon Lord suddenly release us?
Maybe he hasn't forgotten his old relationship with you guys.
I'll accompany you here.
Aren't you coming with us?
I've come to join Demon Lord.
Why should I go?
Have you
observed the Demon Lord's heart?
The past is gone.
Demon Lord is Demon Lord.
Are you in some kind of trouble?
Tell us.
If we fight with all our might now,
we can take you with us.
Why are you talking so much nonsense?
Just go.
If Demon Lord changes his mind,
we'll all die here.
Mu Xuanling.
Based on Miss Mu's character,
I think she has her own plans.
Let's go first.
Don't get in her way.
[Temple of Divine Execution]
Mu Xuanling just saw the three of them off.
She didn't do
or say anything suspicious.
Do you think
there's something wrong?
Should we follow them to the Immortal Alliance?
No.
Just stay here.
After I leave,
if anyone from the Immortal Alliance breaks in,
kill them on sight.
- Got it. - Got it.
Your Grace.
I used
to deal with Mu Xuanling.
She's a trickster,
but why did you agree
to leave with her?
I have my own plans.
There is something I must have at Dark Cloud Mountain.
As for Jun Tian Sword,
it was originally my sword,
but now that Jun Tian has disobeyed me,
I will have to retrieve it myself.
Just go.
- Got it. - Got it.
Let's go.
To Ethereal Jade Island.
Aren't you going to keep an eye on me yourself?
Do I need
to follow your orders?
So Your Grace,
where are you going now?
Ethereal Jade Island.
Phoenix Perch Forest is treacherous,
so you'd better get the restraints off me.
I already did.
When?
Just now.
Why don't I know?
Do I need to let you know?
You're so bossy.
You've finally realized.
There are lethal or hallucinogenic miasmas
and forest spirits in the forest,
so we'd better stay close.
It's just forest spirits.
We could just kill them.
The forest spirit's ability to mesmerize
has nothing to do with one's strength.
The more obsessive they are,
the more dangerous they are.
Obsession?
I won't be trapped by that.
Ling.
Wait.
Ling.
You go first.
Now that Demon Lord
is in the miasma of Phoenix Perch Forest,
and his demonic energy has been suppressed,
so I've been able to separate from him for a while.
Wait for me.
I will kill him.
If I can regain my body,
I will come back to you.
If I fail,
return to the Immortal Alliance
and rally the people against him.
Forest spirit.
That was brilliant.
You are worthy of the Chaos Saintess.
Let's go.
You're a fake, too.
Demon Lord won't recognize me as Chaos Saintess.
As far as he's concerned, I'm not Pearl.
Mu Xuanling.
Mu Xuanling.
Zhao Ming.
Who are you calling?
Pearl.
The dangers of the Phoenix Perch Forest
have nothing to do with one's strength
but with mind.
Pearl has been his obsession for 10,000 years.
I used Pearl as bait
to set a trap.
It's a trap
he must enter.
The deeper the obsession,
the deeper he will fall,
even if he is the Demon Lord.
What will happen to the Demon Lord if he can't leave Phoenix Perch Forest?
He will be lost in his dreams
and trapped in his illusion forever
until he disappears from the real world.
If he disappears completely,
how will you explain that to Hao Tian?
I'd have to
give up explaining.
Where did he go?
It looks like
he's trapped in an illusion.
He can't die here.
I can only try to find him with the Chaos Power.
He's not in the forest.
Then where could he be?
If I give up being a divine artifact
and you forget your ambition,
we can, no matter what happens in the world,
guard this world
and be together for ten thousand years.
For ten thousand years,
I have traveled to the Celestial Realm and the Lava Chasm,
beginning with ambition
but ending with hatred.
Only now do I realize
that the memories of 10,000 years ago
are deeply embedded in my heart like my bones and blood.
Zhao Ming.
This time,
don't leave me alone
in Everbright Palace, okay?
I have owed you an explanation for 10,000 years,
and you
owe me a full wedding.
Tonight is an auspicious time
to make up for all the regrets.
From now on,
there will be no more Demon Lord and the Chaos Pearl
but only Zhao Ming
and Pearl.
Only Zhao Ming and Pearl.
You gave me the same candy
before you went on your journey.
You were suppressed in the Lava Chasm for ten thousand years.
Whenever I missed you,
I ate one,
but it always
tasted sour.
Now,
the candy has finally become sweet.
At that time,
I ate all the candies but didn't see you come back,
so I went to the barrack.
Luckily, ten thousand years later,
I saw you again.
Zhao Ming.
After signing this marriage contract,
you and I will be married forever
and never be separated.
So
you don't want to be with me forever?
I wish I could convince myself
you're Pearl,
but you're not her after all.
Why not?
Pearl didn't eat all the candies
but saved the last one for when she went to the barrack.
What's more,
Pearl wouldn't set out to kill
in a marriage contract.
[The contract requires a signature. Trapping him in the void forever]
Demon Lord broke the illusion.
This backlash is so strong.
Are you all right?
Don't worry.
Whatever happens,
I have a plan.
It's a long road,
but it will lead to the end I want.
Do you know I've been looking for you
Look at me.
I'm not the forest spirit.
Why?
Why was that fake
but you're real?
You
You met Pearl?
How did you get out?
Did you kill her?
She thought, as you did before,
that she could control
or even kill me
with a few tricks.
So over-confident.
You've got me all wrong.
I never wanted to control
or even kill you.
What's the difference between so-called reclaiming and killing?
It was never me
you wanted to save,
nor was it what you expected.
I've told you everything I need to tell you,
but you always don't believe me.
I've searched for you
from dawn to dusk
in this dangerous jungle.
But what about you?
When you showed up, you choked me
and even warned me.
Sometimes, I wondered
why I did it.
I'd like to know
why you did it, too.
I don't want to argue with you now.
It's already dark,
so can we find a place to rest?
You were brought into the illusion by the fake Pearl even though you knew
there were forest spirits in the woods that could mesmerize people.
Is it because in the 10,000 years,
you've been subdued in the Lava Chasm,
you've suffered day and night
without being able to see
or talk to anyone
while relying on your obsession with Pearl
to sustain yourself?
Don't be a wisenheimer.
It won't do you any good
whether you can guess or not.
Do you think I'm curious?
But I am curious
about what's in your vision.
Xie Xuechen
and you.
How long did it take you to get out of the illusion?
Seven or eight minutes.
In terms of ruthlessness,
you're the best.
You also killed the fake Pearl
at the end to break the illusion.
In terms of ruthlessness,
we are just the same.
I'm not ruthless.
I've been here with Xie Xuechen
and met forest spirits,
so I know what I've seen is false.
You have his memories,
but you're not him
after all.
I don't know when His Grace will return
[Temple of Divine Execution]
from this absence.
Mu Xuanling is tricky,
so will His Grace fall into her trap?
In the face of invincible power,
any trickery
is nothing.
Ignorance Demon is a case in point.
Not only did he fail in his rebellion
but also lost his life,
never to be revived.
When Ignorance Demon was around,
he was always gloomy,
mocking me every day for not being smart
and always trying to compete with me.
I was particularly annoyed with him,
but after he died,
I missed him quite a bit.
The three of us
used to be united
as one,
but now,
it's just the two of us,
so you are surely a little uncomfortable.
The people of the Dark Clan have no blood or flesh.
Where would we go
if we were completely dead?
I don't know.
I've never really died.
Then how can we say
we've lived
if
we can never truly die?
It sounds like nonsense,
but it seems to make sense.
What brings you to the Immortal Alliance?
Congratulations
on leaving the temporal chaos.
Congratulations?
You're the one who got us in.
You were meant to be there
because you were connected 10,000 years ago.
What happened 10,000 years ago
made what just happened happen.
I know you're a Fate,
but can Fate play
with someone's life like a god?
Play?
I know you're running Snow City
in the name of demon removal,
but I'm telling you
if you dare harm Mu Xuanling and the Immortal Alliance,
no matter how powerful you are,
I'll fight you
at all costs.
At all costs?
What if the cost
is more than you can imagine?
What do you want?
Are you going to make an enemy of me, too?
We're not
on the same side anymore.
You are not
the same Nan Xuyue,
and I am not the same Fu Lansheng.
Perhaps all beings seem weak
to you,
but don't underestimate
a weak man's fight to the death.
It will also be more than you can imagine.
Qiumin.
Seniors.
Qiumin.
We're all glad
to see you back safe and sound.
We didn't get a chance
to talk to you at the Hall of Integrity.
You didn't wait for me
in the freezing cold to catch up, did you?
We do have important matters
to discuss with you.
A long time has passed since the war with the Spirit Clan,
but there has been no leader at Mirage Palace,
so we would like to present you as the new master.
Will you do it?
I am too young and unqualified
for such a position.
At first,
we misunderstood you,
but after the battle at Mirage Palace,
we all saw
your character and talent.
Since we believe in you,
why are you belittling yourself?
There is no need for you to say any more.
I know my own abilities best.
Thank you.
Lansheng. Qiumin.
Bao.
- You're finally back. - Bao.
Why did you come?
Let me see.
You've gained weight.
Let me touch your belly.
I haven't gained weight.
You have.
You've got fat on your belly.
Actually,
I didn't want to bring him here,
but he insisted on coming with me.
I'll take you to eat something nice,
okay?
- Okay. - Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I didn't want to talk to you,
but in the course of these days,
I've traveled to a place,
met some people,
and experienced many things.
There,
I really felt the true will
to save the Humans.
I believe
your will to save the Spirit Clan
is the same as some people's will
to save the Humans.
I can understand that,
but I don't agree with it.
Many lay down their lives
to save the world.
Some people's guardianship
sacrifices themselves
while the Decaying Immortal Pavilion's so-called guardianship
sacrifices the innocent.
Your way is wrong,
and the results are bad.
What I did wrong was the truth.
I would not be able to forgive myself
if I were you,
but if there is a chance to make amends,
let me know,
and I will do my best.
That won't be necessary.
I promised my parents
I wouldn't live in hate,
so we won't kill each other,
but we won't be friends either.
It's for the best
that you and I
have different surnames.
Fu Cangli
died a long time ago.
There is only Jiang Li
in this world.
The last ripe Lotus of Life
was plucked by Xie Xuechen.
Now, it will take a hundred years
to grow a new one.
What will it be like
in a hundred years?
You're often reminded of something by what you see.
I
If I ask him to take out the lotus flower from the spiritual water for me
on the grounds that my Chaos Power
is incomplete and was depleted too much yesterday,
will he say yes?
I
You just plucked
the once-in-a-century Lotus of Life?
No matter how rare it is,
it's just a flower.
So what if I plucked it?
Wait a minute.
I heard there were precious spiritual fish
in Everlife Pond.
If we can eat them,
it will be good for cultivation.
While we're here,
let's catch some together.
Who have you been fooled by?
The pool water is evolved from spiritual energy,
not real water.
So how can there be spiritual fish?
There is.
Really.
There it is.
See it?
It's swimming that way.
Look at it.
There it is.
It's swimming that way.
Look at it.
It's swimming that way.
A very big fish.
See it?
