Episode 6
You guys go in the front.
It's already morning.
You don't need to be so tense. Let's go together.
Let's go
- Does your foot still hurt? - It's all good now.
Right, after meeting that evil person yesterday,
How come I didn't see you?
I thought you were kidnapped.
Last night when I left, I had Cai Que transform into me.
It seems like he's talkig about Cai Que.
I was knocked out unconscious yesterday.
I didn't know what happened.
but they took me to this desolate place.
While that person was asleep,
I escaped by myself.
Who knew that I would get lost so I came to this old estate,
good thing that Sir came timely to rescue me.
But to think of it,
we really are fated.
This is your second time saving me.
I also thought it was strange
Every time you are in danger,
I always get this uncomfortable feeling.
Please
Third sister. Let's go.
Go
Hurry
Everyone, listen. There's a flute sound.
This flute sound is the Ecstasy Trap.
This is bad. My spiritual power was already weak,
and I was injured last night by that old demon.
It seems like I won't be able to walk out of this forest today.
Ah Mo, do you really know the way?
We've walked in circles for quite a while now.
If you know the way then show us.
Ah Mo
Something really does seem wrong.
I made a mark on this tree just now.
We've gone back to the original spot.
Did we encounter the demon wall again?
Xiao Wei, are you alright?
How about we rest for a while?
How about this,
everybody rest here for a while.
Big Brother, danger abounds here.
If we are trapped here, it will be even more dangerous.
Xiao Wei's health is not good.
I'm afraid she won't be able to endure it.
Let's rest for a bit, alright?
There's no need, *** brother. It's ok, Brother ***.
Let's get on the road.
Hey, hey, wait for me.
Brother, take a look.
His wound is severe.
Help heal him first.
Okay
Princess, this place is dangerous.
Right now, we can't even save ourselves.
We don't even know him.
Do you want to take on another one?
Why are you so inhumane?
Do you just stand there and watch him die?
I didn't say that.
Alright, alright. Saving his life is more important.
Second brother. Take care of him well here.
I'll go find some herbs in the forest.
Big brother ***, I will go with you.
Me too
What are you tagging along for?
Princess still needs her protectors.
No need. I can go by myself.
Be careful
Be careful, Big Brother.
He woke up. He woke up.
How are you doing?
How are you doing, brother?
He fainted again.
Looking for you was so tiring today I was about to die.
You had a hard time, sister.
But, I have another favor to ask of you.
Fusheng used his jade flute
to set up an Ecstasy Trap in this forest.
We weren't able to get out even after a long time.
You deserve it!
Who told you to always be so close to those humans?
My good sister
I know I did wrong.
We are sisters,
just help me this once.
Why?
You don't listen to what I say.
Why should I help you work against Fusheng?
Cai Que, I'm sorry for my past actions.
How about this,
if you help me steal the jade flute from Fusheng,
I will then listen to you.
And also come with you to see Madam Qing.
You really mean it?
I won't eat my words.
Good.
Then I'll believe you one more time.
After I'm done, I will give you the signal.
Okay, be careful.
Hopefully Cai Que can steal the jade flute.
Xiaowei! Your body is weak,
and your haven't recovered yet from your old illness.
Why are you wandering around the forest alone?
I was worried about you getting the herbal medicine by yourself,
so I wanted to come help you.
But who knew
that I would get lost?
It's all my fault that I got lost.
Where's Second Brother?
How can he let you wander the forest alone?
What if there was danger?
This can't be blamed on Sir Xiao.
I was being stubborn
I made you unhappy again.
But look,
don't I look fine right now?
As long as you're here, I'm not scared at all.
Stupid.
She listened to a few human words and got distracted.
And she claims herself to be a fox. How exceedingly stupid!
Master, that Cai Que is going to steal your jade flute.
How should we punish her?
Excuse my obtuseness.
I couldn't understand master's meaning.
If you put away your jade flute now, you would be breaking the spell of the Ecstasy Trap.
Wouldn't that allow them to escape?
Since she keeps saying that
human love is more important than cultivation,
I shall see for myself
how she will eat the fruit of her own work.
Unluckiness has finally found us.
If we don't get out now,
it will be dark soon.
And we don't know what demons will come out now.
Cousin, stop being so nervous.
You are scaring yourself.
I'm not just exaggerating.
We've been trapped here for almost ten hours.
The food is all eaten up.
Perhaps we have to starve to death here?
Second brother, don't worry now.
We can definitely get out.
If you are hungry,
how about this,
I'll hunt down some wild game for you.
Big Brother, it's fine.
Let's first find a way out.
Miss Xiao Wei. What are you doing?
The ancients said that everything has spirit.
Right now we're trapped in this forest.
Perhaps the gods of the mountain
can lead us out.
I think this forest is sinister.
It doesn't seem to have spirits and deities. Just a bunch of demons.
Everyone take a look quick
What is that?
She seems to be beckoning us to follow her.
Perhaps the gods have finally revealed themselves.
Since we can't find a way out anyways,
let's try following it.
Okay, let's go.
Thanks, little bird (Cai Que = colorful bird).
We finally got out.
Miss Xiaowei, it's all due to your sincere prayer
that the gods were willing to lead us out.
You really are more effective than a fairy.
You are giving me more credit than I deserve.
Thanks for everybody's saving grace.
I still have important tasks at hand.
I shall bid farewell now.
Friend, your wound hasn't healed yet.
How about you go with us back to the inn
and make plans after you recover.
That's right. We're here
You can at least be taken care of.
Thanks for your kindness.
I'll accept your good intentions.
When we meet again, I shall definitely repay you.
Right, how should we address you?
When we meet again I can at least greet you.
I'm just a nameless junior.
You don't need to remember a poor wanderer like me.
Farewell
Farewell
What an odd guy.
Don't dawdle anymore.
That person clearly doesn't want to be with us.
He doesn't trust us.
Don't chit chat now. We can talk later at the inn.
There's not much time left. We better get going quick.
Okay
I'm starving to death. Hurry, let's go.
Be careful
Sister! Sister
Didn't you and Sir *** go to see a doctor last night?
Why did you go for so long?
I was so worried.
It's a long story.
It's all because I didn't take care of Miss Xiaowei well.
We made you worry
Don't say it like that.
It doesn't matter as long as Sir *** and sister are safe.
Shopkeeper,
please give me three upper rooms.
Alright, come in please. Big brother,
No need for three rooms
Two rooms is fine
I'll room with Ah Mo. It's more convenient.
Okay
Then I have to trouble you. Please give me two rooms instead.
Alright
It was *** everyone today
First wash up and get some rest
Then when it's time to eat, I'll call you guys out.
Let's go
Okay. Let's go
Where's the jade flute?
I didn't steal it.
Then how did you break the Ecstasy Trap?
I didn't break it.
I was about to go steal it.
But before I could, I found that the trap disappeared by itself.
How could this happen?
Unless, Fusheng removed the trap himself?
But sister
isn't Fusheng trying to take you back?
I don't know either
This piece of rock is odd and arrogant.
We can't guess what's on his mind.
Fusheng controls Ice Hell.
He wouldn't let you off this easily.
He's probably going to use more severe tricks on you.
Sister. How about going back to be with Madam?
With Madam's protection, he wouldn't dare to mess with you.
I'm not going back
Why?
The day of the Blood Moon is approaching and you have only enough spiritual power to keep this human form.
If you encounter that piece of rock at that time, it will be too dangerous.
You are doing this for *** Ying again?
Being able to meet him
was a chance given by the heavens.
In the last life, *** Sheng had a wife to care for.
So he couldn't return my feelings.
But this life, *** Ying hasn't married yet.
I must find a way to make him fall in love with me
Then I can have a love that completely belongs to me.
Have you still not suffered enough?
Humans and demons are different.
How can a human and demon be together?
Besides there's still that Li Jing.
In the forest,
I heard that Ah Mo call her Princess.
How about you? Even if you're human and not demon,
you are still just a commoner.
With what can you compete with her?
With my beauty and feminity that exceed hers.
*** Ying is dumb. He doesn't care about romantic relationships or appearances.
I'm just afraid that
you are flirting to a blind person and wasting your effort.
As long as he's a man
I can find a way to make him fall in love with me.
Here, eat a lot.
Here, Miss Xiao Wei
Why didn't A Mo come to eat?
She was slightly injured at the old estate.
She didn't want us to worry so she didn't tell us.
I let her rest in her room
Good thing that annoying girl didn't come.
If she was here, I would feel disappointed
Looking at her face, I won't be able to eat.
Ok, ok! Just eat.
When you're done eating. Go out and buy medicine for A Mo.
Buy medicine?
Hey, I have to run errands?
I'm a duke.
Then I have to go?
Okay, okay, okay. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. Okay?
Brother, wait for me to come back
I'll freely drink with you then.
Alright.
Then I'll get going first
Miss, you've been tired for those past few days.
Come, drink some warm soup to rejuvenate yourself.
Thank you
Miss Li. on your forehead, why is there such a big scar?
When did you get wounded? Could no one heal it?
Miss
my sister always speaks bluntly. Please don't mind her.
It's okay
I was too reckless while practicing martial arts.
So I got injured. It's alright.
How is that ok?
Miss Li is an elegant beauty
and yet your appearance is ruined by that scar. Such a shame.
You should find a doctor to heal it.
Or else with such a huge scar, it would be hard for you to find a husband.
Cai Que!
Miss. Don't take it to heart.
She was saying nonsense.
What? I was telling the truth!
I'm really feeling sorry for Miss Li.
Okay. It's really no big deal.
Brother, Miss Xiao Wei. I'm full, you guys enjoy your meal.
Third sister
I'm also good
A good meal
was ruined by you
I know that you want to appear gentle and tolerant in front of *** Ying,
but look at how worried he is for Li Jing.
They're definitely not just friends.
Why do you still have to be so infatuated with him?
You don't know things of the human world and don't understand men and women.
I won't blame this on you.
But if you continue to meddle like this,
don't blame me for being unkind.
Sister!
Do you think I like staying by your side to endure your temper?
You guys leave? I'll leave too!
Isn't Big Brother here to comfort me?
How come you're not saying anything?
I'm afraid if I say something wrong
I'll make you mad
Big Brother, am I that short-tempered?
I know
I know that my Third Sister is broad-minded.
And won't fuss over Cai Que's heartless words.
But still,
it was I who wounded your face.
Don't say that, brother
I don't mind at all.
But I do
Ever since I accidentally wounded you,
I distanced myself from you because of your princess status.
And when we were bidding farewell,
I purposefully drew my lines with you guys.
I hurt your feelings.
This matter has been weighing down on me ever since.
I feel very sorry.
I thought we wouldn't be able to meet again.
But little did I know,
that you and Second Brother came a long way to see me.
I'm really happy
Third sister, I'm wrong.
I'm sorry
Whatever punishment you have for me, I accept it.
Big Brother, since we are brothers,
between us,
we shouldn't have such formalities.
You're right, I was too bookish.
You must remind me of this more often.
That's right
Between brothers, we should speak whatever's on our mind.
I really don't mind the wound.
If you still refuse to forgive yourself for this,
then I won't feel at ease.
Then I won't mention this again.
Big brother
Third sister
Madam
Is she still doing well?
Her body is fine right now.
But she doesn't even care about this.
She's in love again.
What?
Didn't *** Sheng die over a hundred years ago?
Not *** Sheng, he's *** Sheng's descendant.
It's a guy named *** Ying.
I don't know what she sees in him,
but she's set on following him.
She doesn't even mention you.
And she doesn't even care about the day of the Blood Moon.
How could that be?
As soon as the blood moon descends into the human world,
not only will her flesh be in danger,
but her spirit may also dissipate into thin air.
I've already reminded her of this many times.
But Sister refuses to listen to me!
And she fought with me over this.
This child,
she's had a difficult childhood and has a reclusive personality.
Cai Que, I'll really trouble you this time.
Madam, it doesn't matter so much that I'm being wronged.
But she has betrayed madam's good intentions.
Since she insists on being obstinate like this,
then don't care for her and let her be, Madam.
How can I not care for her? I'm her mother.
Cai Que, I've always treated you as one of my own.
Or I can even say that I've always seen you as my daughter.
I didn't want to deceive you.
Xiao Wei is my biological daughter,
but
she's not the child of my husband.
So unless it's a life or death situation,
I can't help her.
Seeing how much she's suffering,
I can't even do anything.
I feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart.
Madam don't say that
It's Sister who is too greedy for human love
It can't be blamed on you.
Rather than saying she craves love from the human world,
it's more apt to say she fears loneliness.
She wants to find someone to be with for the rest of her life.
Then, what do we do?
I have a plan
Madam! You have a plan?
Where's the Golden Phoenix Heart?
Did you think up other plans?
I've already sent people to Zhongyuan to inquire about it
They will reply back soon.
Your Highness, please be patient for a few days.
I can wait, but my son can't wait!
Situ, I'm telling you, no matter at what cost,
you must get it to me quickly!
Your Highness, please,
What is it? Does this mean it's her?
What's wrong?
Nothing
I've already set a spell on this magic bead.
It can tell me when the magical potion I've been waiting for
will appear.
I must quickly go get it.
If delayed, other demons from the mountain might get it first.
Situ, remember this well,
my patience is limited.
Go ahead
Yes
Sister Qing,
the Heavens really does have eyes.
It's been so many years,
And you finally came to find me.
Senior, how have you been these past years?
I'm great.
I'm carefree in this human world.
I'm respected by the Everlasting Clansmen.
But as for you,
when you stubbornly married Hu Sheng that year,
I knew that you wouldn't be happy.
That Husheng only knows about cultivation.
He doesn't understand the love between man and woman.
Your marriage to him was a mistake.
What is it?
Is he locking himself in to cultivate again?
And is ignoring you?
Senior has misunderstood.
Though my husband has set his heart on cultivation,
he's always been caring and generous towards me.
I have come today for other matters.
Don't mention those past grievances.
Then why did come to see me?
I want to borrow the glass beads from you.
What do you want to borrow them for?
You don't seem to have any use for it.
That's none of your business.
I ask that on behalf of our same apprenticeship,
you lend the glass beads to me.
You won't even tell me what you are using it for,
why should I give my beloved item to you?
Senior, I just want to save a fox demon.
She's called Xiao Wei
I say, Junior,
when did you become this kind?
Just for a mere fox demon,
you are willing to lower yourself to beg me?
To tell you the truth,
Xiao Wei is my daughter
Without regard for my reputation,
I've told you this private matter.
I hope Senior will help me
and lend the glass beads to me.
To save my daughter.
You chose Hu Sheng back then
and became his queen.
And yet this is the consequence you achieved!
Regardless of who's right who's wrong that day,
please, on behalf of our senior-junior relationship,
You're talking relationship to me?
That day when I desperately begged you to marry me,
did you have any feelings for me?
Regardless of whether she the daughter of a lowly servant
or even my own daughter,
you should go find Hu Sheng since you chose him that day.
Since the moment I left the Fox Clan,
I decided I would have nothing to do with it.
Senior, I beg of you
Go beg your husband.
Senior,
This flower hair ornament is pretty.
Let me try it. Ok.
Try it.
This one is good
It hides your mole perfectly! Really? Yes.
Right, take a look!
Thank you
Thanks!
Looking at how worried Sir's face is,
you must have displeased your wife at home.
Come, buy an accessory for her and ask for her forgiveness.
Ma'am, you're mistaken.
I haven't married yet.
Then you're buying it for your lover?
I've experienced all that.
I remember back when I was young,
my husband right now couldn't get me.
He was constantly sad and depressed.
He's just like you now.
Ma'am, I don't have a loverr
She's only my little sister.
Her forehead has a wound
So I want to buy this to make her happier.
It's sister love!
I understand, I understand!
Come, let me pick one for you.
Take a look
This is the prettiest of the lot.
You can give this to that sister of yours
I'm sure she will be happy and smiling.
You two will reconcile and go back to before.
Okay
Then how do you sell this?
Since you appear to be a valiant man, that sister
must also be a beauty.
I like talented men and beauties the most.
I'll sell it to you for five wen.
Here you are then
Okay, okay, okay
I'll wrap it for you.
Ma'am,
Please give me another that looks like that
I want to give one to another girl
Sir, don't mind my babbling,
but when you have two umbrellas on a rainy day,
you might think you can block out more rain,
but in reality,
when those two umbrellas are together,
the person,
will end up in the open spot.
No rain can be blocked.
People can't be too greedy.
One umbrella is enough.
Okay. Thank you
What a pretty flower ornament.
This is my first time buying feminine items.
I asked the seller ma'am to pick one for me.
Not sure if you like it or not.
Brother,
Before, I used to observe how the palace consorts compete in beauty.
Each day,
they would change up their accessories.
Yet I've never seen
such an exquisite flower ornament.
I really like it!
That's good then
Since you don't want to go outside,
how about you let me tell you
the story of my parents?
Okay then.
It's rare that you would be in such a mood.
I also want to hear.
At a Lantern Festival many years ago,
my dad took my grandmother to see the lanterns.
Because there were too many people,
they got separated.
My dad kept looking for her everywhere,
then he found a stranger on the roadside,
who had been waiting with my grandmother
and was comforting her.
Then that woman really is very kind.
Could it be that she was your mother?
My mother had a plain appearance.
She's like this flower ornament.
Though it's not anything expensive,
but it's full of love.
My dad loved my mom for his whole life.
It can be seen that though a girl's appearance is important,
it's her inner good that's priceless.
Third sister,
though you have a scar on your face,
in my heart,
you are the kindest,
and the best woman in the world.
Thank you Brother.
I understand what you mean.
Brother,
I can't put this flower ornament on by myself.
Can you put it on for me?
No problem.
Here,
Have a seat over here.
Miss Xiao Wei really is thoughtful.
Big Brother,
Third Sister was afraid she couldn't put on this flower ornament herself.
So she asked for my help.
This dim sum looks very delicious.
Thank you Miss Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei,
I just bought two flower ornaments.
I gave one to Third sister,
This is for you.
What's wrong? You don't like it?
That's not it.
If it's something given from you,
I like it all.
Big Brother, let's drink some wine together.
Okay. Then we'll get going.
Brother,
I brought you to this place today
is because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you.
Sure.
Let's look at us,
we three brothers have known each other for a while now.
Besides Jing Er,
I haven't had a good talk with Big Brother.
You're right.
If you have something you want to talk about,
then share it with me.
Big Brother,
Do you really like or not like Jing Er?
Jing Er is my Third sister.
Of course I like her.
When you put on the flower ornament for Jing Er today,
that isn't an action between siblings, is it?
You misunderstood, Second brother.
I was sad for Jing Er's appearance.
so I bought her a flower ornament.
There's no other intention.
Big Brother,
do you know the relationship between Jing Er and me?
Cousins.
Yes.
Not only cousins,
but we grew up together,
and have been friends since childhood.
I've always treated her as my real sister.
Before the late Empress died, she had said
if there are no other fitting candidates in the future,
then I will be her husband.
Unfortunately,
that little girl has grown up.
She has her own thoughts now.
She only saw you a few times,
yet she swore friendship with you and defied imperial orders for you.
And she even traveled thousands of miles to find you in Nanjiang.
Big Brother, do you know her feelings?
But, but Jing Er and I really are just
good siblings and good friends.
Big Brother,
Jing Er has pampered by the Emperor and the Empress since she was little.
Though she seems forthright,
she's actually very naive.
If you have feelings for her, don't disappoint her.
If you have no feelings,
then don't let her misunderstanding deepen.
Second brother,
I've never had the thought of advancing by currying favor with the powerful.
To Jing Er,
I seriously think of her (treat her) as a little sister,
as a good friend and as a confidant.
I never exaggerate or rave.
Since I came to the borders,
I've only thought about guarding our country.
As for romantic endeavours,
they're irrelevant to me.
The Goddess has feelings, yet King Xiang has no dream (meaning unrequited love for the female)
I'm afraid Jing Er will be dissappointed this time.
Don't worry
I will have my limits from now on.
I won't be too intimate with Third Sister.
And besides, General Li has ordered the army
that starting from tomorrow
I must focus on military matters.
As for Third Sister,
she's open-minded.
I think she will come to understand.
Jing Er will have to return soon anyways.
I hope this is just a momentary attraction
and that she will forget as time passes.
Here, brother. I offer you a drink.
Okay.
Then we brothers will not go home today until we're drunk.
Okay!
Princess,
though I've never liked someone before,
I still know a thing or two
about man and woman relations.
Liking someone and yet that person doesn't know,
no response to the feelings you have invested,
this feeling must be very upsetting.
Ah Mo, don't talk anymore.
Princess,
is *** Ying really worth all this?
He is simply being kind to you and Xiao Wei.
Either he's a player and wants you both,
or he's foolish and doesn't know anything.
He's neither a player
nor necessarily dumb.
It's only...
he doesn't understand the setting.
Then why must Princess still spend all this effort on him?
You are the princess, the ruler.
He's the vassal.
What's wrong with being Princess?
Can't princesses pursue love like commoners?
Ah Mo,
You know that I hate my princess status the most.
And how rulers and vassals are different.
If you keep trying to persuade me like this,
then go back to the capital by yourself. Don't mind my business anymore.
General Zhao,
The Ke'han heard that Princess Li Jing of your country
is the world's number one beauty.
She's also the most beloved beauty of your Emperor.
Perhaps she's the legendary Golden Phoenix Heart.
So, we have a condition.
Please say it.
The Ke'han is the most dignified, valiant ruler of our clan.
The person he marries
must be the legendary Golden Phoenix Heart.
So he ordered me to take along the jade bottle
and go to the imperial city for a blood test of the Golden Phoenix.
One drop of blood will determine the genuineness.
If the Princess truly is the legendary Golden Phoenix,
then our Ke'han will marry the princess.
Or else,
we can only meet on the battlefield.
Presumptuous!
General Zhao,
I think you should just relay to your Emperor my master's wishes.
Peace or war, it's all up to him.
Get out!
The enemy clan has crossed the line!
Do we let him marry whoever he wants?
Does he take our country as a good-for-nothing?
We'll fight!
Tomorrow I shall personally lead the army and kill them all, even the armors!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
You're alright, Your Majesty?
Your Majesty, here.
Your Majesty, are you better?
Your Majesty, none of the generals are willing.
There's no one to lead the troops.
The enemy clan's troops are closing in.
If we fight them, both sides will suffer great losses.
Then do I let myself be bullied by them?
If the ancestors had all followed your advise,
our dynasty would have ended long ago!
Your Majesty,
Please think it through, Your Majesty.
The enemy clansmen have been winning numerous battles.
They're arrogant.
Our troops should avoid them at the cutting edge and think long-term.
When we have enough assurance, we can go ahead and destroy them.
Then according to you,
how should we plan long-term?
Even if we are going to war,
we still need to prepare food and wages.
How about we first pacify the enemy clan
and agree to their demands so as to gain more time.
Since everything is like now,
we can only take it one step at a time.
It's just that we still don't know where Jing Er is.
Report to Your Majesty,
the servant of the Princess wants to see you. She has news of the Princess.
Let her in quick!
Yes. Quick, quick, quick.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Where is Jing Er?
Report to Your Majesty, Guard Ah Mo sent a message via dove mail.
She said the Princess is currently at Nanjiang.
Nanjiang?
Elder Situ,
is my bead flower put on correctly?
Let me see.
What are you doing?
My son has already been lying there for a month.
His life is hanging by a thread.
If you don't think of a way to save him,
then I will everything to the King of Everlasting.
I'm going to die anyways if my son dies.
At that time, we might as well all die together.
Are you threatening me?
Correct.
Let me tell you,
either you let my son live well,
inherit the throne and continue the family line.
Or both of us will die with him!
You should know my temper well.
I always do what I say.
Your Highness, calm your anger.
Actually I already found a way to get the Golden Phoenix Heart.
It's just that I haven't had the time to tell you.
Really?
Believe me.
Before long,
the Golden Phoenix Heart will hand herself over to us.
If you dare to fool me,
then you should know the consequences.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
I won't use our lives
to risk something.
Then I will believe you this one time.
Hopefully you won't let me down.
Then wait for my good news
