Little rabbit, are you lost? I'm lost too. How dare you, Evil Spirit! How dare you
follow the Imperial great-grandson? Imperial great grandson?
I'm the king himself! This mountain is so weird. It's like someone has gotten
rid of the celestial shield. Help! Help! Help me, Miss! You're not going to go after it? This mountain is really dangerous.
It's better to be careful. What's a little immortal like
you doing in the mortal world? Thank you for saving my life. I just happened to be here. Where is your house?
Should I take you there? It's at a hut nearby. Hut? It must be a place
with a celestial shield. I lost His Highness. I deserve death.
Please punish me by death. - Keep looking.
- Yes. Your Highness, he's back.
His Highness is back. Father! Where were you?
Why didn't you bring Jia Yun with you? You always talk about how Mother
often would get lost in the woods. I thought it sounded like a mystery. I went today in secret and, of course,
I lost my way as well. Father, I also ran into a snake monster
and was nearly harmed. Luckily, this sister saved me. Don't run off by yourself again. Thank you, Miss, for saving him. It is nothing. Sir, you are... My lord is the Celestial Tribe's
Crown Prince, Ye Hua. Crown Prince?
Miao Qing greets Your Highness. No need to stand on ceremony. My older brother is
the Water King of Eastern Sea. So you are Princess Miao Qing. You saved A-Li's life today.
I must return this kindness. Do you have a wish, Princess? I have always admired
your fighting prowess. It is my great fortune
to have met you today. If I had a wish I'd only wish to stay by
Your Highness's side. Stay by my side? You want to marry my father? No, no.
Don't misunderstand, young prince. I know I am merely
a princess of Eastern Sea. I cannot enter Xiwu Palace. I only want to stay at this hut and when Your Highness brings
the young prince to visit I could wash your clothes
and cook for you. Princess Miao Qing. With your status, it is inappropriate
for you to do such things. Moreover, I am the one who is
supposed to fulfill a wish of yours. It is unreasonable to make you serve us. This is a wish of mine. I hope
Your Highness can grant me this wish. Father. Do you truly have such a wish? Then we'll make it a period of ten days. Once the ten days are over,
you will leave. Your Highness. What is it? I will obey your command. Father, I don't like that sister.
Don't let her stay. She's clearly... clearly trying to
take Mother's position. Enough. Princess Miao Qing saved your life. I promised I would fulfill her wish.
I will not break my word. Father, you said Mother
would be back soon! If you do this, Mother will be mad
when she gets back! Enough. A-Li. Your mother will not be coming back. Why? Didn't you say as long as
the Soul-gathering Lamp is kept lit Mother will return? The Soul-gathering Lamp
has been extinguished. She will not be coming back. Why would it be extinguished?
Did Tian Shu not look after it? That's enough! Step out. Father! Step out! My lord, please calm down. His Highness
is just eager to meet Her Highness. You two catch up to him quickly.
Just let him cry alone for a bit. - Yes.
- Yes. Your Highness? - Your Highness!
- Your Highness! - Slow down!
- What's wrong with His Highness? He had an argument with the Crown Prince.
It is best if you don't go inside. My lord is furious right now,
and won't wish to be disturbed. Your Highness! Dragonfly, Father must be
lying to me, isn't he? I have waited for Mother for 300 years.
Mother will surely come back, right? What is going on? Why did His Highness say
the Soul-gathering Lamp has been put out? It is because that Bai Feng Jiu
of Qing Qiu was too mischievous. She transformed into Consort Su Jin and stole the lamp,
putting out the light. Think about it.
She is a princess of Qing Qiu. She is Bai Qian's niece,
and is friends with Dong Hua Dijun. Thus, His Highness couldn't
do anything about her and could only let the matter rest. His Highness and the young prince
have been waiting for 300 years. So what of it? Honestly, the lamp would only
create a person who looks similar. It wouldn't really be her. It being extinguished
is it's own blessing. - Aunt.
- It's been returned? I've returned it. Did the Celestial Tribe condemn you? Third Prince plead for leniency
on my behalf. That's good. Your time spent
in Heaven wasn't for nothing. I'll be going to the Eastern Sea
in a few days. On my way back, I'll be stopping by
Fourth Brother's manor. Stay here in Qing Qiu.
Don't cause anymore trouble. What are you going to
the Eastern Sea for? The Water King of the Eastern Sea
has born a son. I just received an invitation
to the banquet. But you have never liked these sorts
of social occasions and banquets. Why is Water King of
the Eastern Sea so lucky to be graced by your attendance? Normally, I don't like
these sorts of social occasions. However, back in the day,
Mother had difficulty giving birth to me. Luckily, the midwife of
the Water King's family helped saving Mother a lot of suffering. They're inviting me this time
for a happy occasion. It doesn't feel right to forget
the kindness they showed. Mi Gu. You're back, Little Princess! I thought you'd be imprisoned
in heaven for 30 to 50 years. It was all your rotten idea. What orders do you have, Aunt? Go fetch the biggest luminous pearl
from the pond. You're giving a gift again? How did you know? Who in Qing Qiu doesn't know
you like giving luminous pearls? The rank of the immortal
and Aunt's mood on that day will determine the size of
the luminous pearl being gifted. Back when Fox King was
living in the Fox Den there were plenty of
luminous pearls in the pond. Now you can almost see to the bottom. Enough talking. Go get it quickly. All right, my prodigal Aunt. Princess, don't worry. With your appearance, the Crown Prince
will surely have not forgotten you and must be thinking of you everyday. Yes, although the Heavenly Empress position is already taken. How can Lord Ye Hua possibly fall for that Old Lady of Qing Qiu? Old Lady? How strange. Why are there so many water lily
covering the crystal lights? Honorable guest, have you brought your invitation? Right this way, please. Although you can't accept it,
I am the Lord of Ghost Realm. Even if your father, the Water King of West Sea, was here, he would still need to bow to me. What Ghost Lord? All I see is the punk that hang around the bottom
of the Kunlun Moutain 70,000 years ago. Who only knows how to drink and be merry. You shut your mouth. My three guests, I'm afraid you're tempers are heating up. Please hold back. Ghost Lord, please calm down. The two of you were disciples of High God Mo Yuan's. Please calm down. In the recent years, we have been in good terms
with the Ghost Realm. We shouldn't destroy a friendship that took years
to build because personal matters. Please do this for my sake today. Please don't be upset. Lord Ghost, please don't be upset. Your highness. We looked everywhere. We still can't find the young prince. A-Lin has never been to the Crystal Palace. I'm assuming, he has gone off playing out of curiosity. You guys continue searching.
I'll go look in the back gardens. Yes. Little Riceball. What are you digging out? I'm taking out the grass. Father said the coral barrier under the weeds are the most beautiful things on the Eastern Sea seafloors. I've never seen it.
So I want to dig it out so I can see it. Father? You're from the Celestial Tribe? Yes. Use this fan. With a light sweep of this fan. The grass will be blown away. This fan is truly beautiful. It looks like something that belongs in my family. The Cloud Clearing Fan? Please enter. You guys make a quick inspection. The Aunt of Qing Qiu will be here soon. There mustn't be any bright lights showing. Yes. Am I in trouble now? You aren't the only in trouble. I'm the one who gave you the fan. Mother! Mother! Mother? Mother! Mother! Why did you leave A-Lin and Father? Young child, you must have the wrong person. Su Su Father. Master? No. He is not Master. He is not. How arrogant! I've mistaken the wrong person. She wouldn't speak so harshly. My apologies. You're too courteous. Is mother upset? A-Lin Let's go. Mother? A-Lin! Farewell. Father She looks like a lot like the painting
of Mother in the XiWu Palace. XiWu Palace? Could he be the Celestial Tribe's Crown Prince, Lord Ye Hua? Aunt. Shao Xing? Aunt. You and I are no long mistress and servant. There's no need to bow to me. Aunt. For the past 300 years, I've waited
at the valley's entrance everyday for you. But I never got your summons. Do you still blame me? You've waited for me at the cave entrance? Mi Gu has never mention it. However, I haven't seen you in 300 years. How did you get so fat? I heard Zhe Yan say that you're already pregnant with your 4th child. It looks like the Water King and you are quite affectionate. The Water King treats me very well. However, I can't forget what happened 300 years ago. Shao Xing, you should know,
I am strongly against seeing you. Although, you have done me wrong. We were once mistress and servant. Go ahead and tell me what you want. I'll grant you one wish. Shao Xing does not want anything. In these 300 years, I only seek your forgiveness. No matter how much time has pass. I'm still a part of the Fox Den. Don't You're no longer a part of Qing Qiu. This wish is a gift for your marriage. Go ahead and tell me. I will grant you anything. Afterwards, our relationship (mistress and servant)
will come to an end. I'd expect you to be upset. But why won't you give me a chance? You really don't understand? But Aunt has never met the Sang Ji and you said you don't like him. If you married him, you won't be happy. Moreover, you can find someone even better than Sang Ji. Lord Ye Hua is great man. He is the future Heavenly Lord But if I lose Sang Ji, I will truly be left with nothing. What you said is right. I once thought that Aunt was angry at me
for leaving Qing Qiu without permission But never for marrying Sang Ji. Because in my heart, Aunt has always been
a highly principled immortal. It seems you really don't understand. Shao Xing, do you recall your clan members in Qing Qiu? Who bullied you? Yes. You should know that among them
are those who don't want to bully you. It's just that if they stood up for you,
they would be the next to get bully. Therefore, they follow the strongest and bully you,
the weakest. Can you forgive them? No. Now put yourself in my position,
it is only reasonable and fair that I don't want to see you. You saw how I, a High Goddess, refined myself. For hundreds of millennia,
to get to the level that I'm at now. How low can my morals characters and comprehension be? I am truly not a highly principled immortal. You really flatter me. Do you still not understand? Although you didn't intend to, you have cause me to be the laughing stock of the entire world. Mother! Why do you say you're not a highly principled immortal? Mother is the most highly principled immortal of heaven and earth. Where did you pop of the ground from? No, I didn't come here using my power. I came here with Father to find you. Mother. Ye Hua did not know that you're the High Godess Bai Qian of Qing Qiu. I'm unbiased. I'm exactly 90,000 years older than Lord Ye Hua. It's best for you to address me as Aunt to show your respect. A-Lin calls you "Mother." But I have to call you "Aunt?" Qian Qian, what's the reasoning for this? Speaking of reasoning,
while I was talking with this lady, You two eavesdrop on our whole conversation. What's the reasoning for this? Father and I weren't intentionally eavesdropping. Father said you were chasing us. So that's why we turn around and came back. When we got near, we saw this lady talking with you. and all we could do was step back. Mother was chasing us because
you can't bear to part with A-Lin. And want to return to the Celestial Palace with us? Can't bear to part with you? I only got lost and can't find my way. What A-Lin said is right. Your mother can't bear to part with us. Mother is the best. Mother, when do we return to the Celestial Palace? Return to the Celestial Palace? Let's leave tomorrow. This is wonderful! Mother is coming home! You have been gone for so long. Aren't you excited? Excited? Mother, since you guys are done talking, let's leave. Just a minute. I still have something to say to this lady. Go back and think about what you want to ask me. When you've made a decision, come find me in Qing Qiu. Thank you, Aunt. I want one too. Why does a child want a dangerous weapon? Mother. Be good. I suddenly recall something that needs to be taken care of. I'll see you guys again tomorrow. Farewell! Qian Qian, could it be that you're afraid of attracting gossip by entering the palace with my son and me? You are worrying way too much. So you do know that we have a marriage arrangement? There's nothing to be concern about. A marriage arrangement? Speaking of marriage arrangement, When the Heavenly Lord made the engagement between your uncle and I, You were yet to be born. In a blink of an eye, you've already grown up a lot. Time really doesn't wait for anyone. Farewell. Fellow immortal, please wait. Crown Prince, Young Prince Fellow immortal, may I ask how I may have offended you? Thus as far as taking your angry out on my garden on my festive day? Water King, you may have been mistaken? Don't think of denying it.
The Coral Spirit in my garden saw it with its own eyes. The strong winds just now was done by an immortal dressed in turquoise. How can you deny it? I can't make this child take the blame. Water King is right. I've always live in the Ten-Miles Peach Woods.
This is my first time traveling out and I've already cause trouble. I've spoiled your mood and brought shame to my high god. Please punish me, Water King. Ten-Miles of Peach Woods? You're from the Ten-Miles of Peach Woods? That is correct. Isn't the high god of the Ten-Miles of Peach Woods... My high god indeed hasn't been in touch with
his fellow immortals for many millennia. I came to day at the request of the High Goddess Bai Qian of Qing Qiu. That is how I got the fortune to see the Crystal Palace. High Goddess Bai Qian? Did Aunt come with you, then? Aunt did not come. Unfortunately, Aunt fell ill while on her visit at the Ten-Miles Peach Woods. However, Aunt received your invitation and didn't want to disappoint. So she sent me to deliver these complimentary gifts. This is a gift from my high goddess Bai Qian, a radiant pearl. On the side is my Lord's self brew peach wines. I came to deliver these gifts. However, I never expected to cause trouble. Please punish me as you like, Water King. You've had a long jounery. It's my fault to have fail to welcome you.
Please don't feel guilty any longer. Please follow me to the front of the hall for foods and wines. That is unnecessary. After all, my Lord doesn't like me
attracting attention everywhere I go. You are too polite. You're the kindest, Water King. I shall take my leave now. It's just a drink of wine.
There's no need to be so polite. I only told a small lie. The lie was mainly to protect his Little Riceball. He could have simply looked the other way.
Yet, he had to cross me. How annoying. Su Su, Have you truly forgotten me? Or are you pretending in front of me? Crown Prince, Fellow immortal The Grand hall is up headed. Please enter. The Crown Prince has arrived. Greetings Crown Prince. Crown Prince, please take a seat up there. Water King Please. It's her. You know this princess? Yes, I do. But I'm not close with her. Could it possibly be, the Crown Prince
dragged me here to ward off women? Ward off what women? Crown Prince, May I be so bold and seek a meeting on the behalf of my little sister? You see? Here they come. You look after A-Lin. I'll be back soon. He's truly isn't going to drag me into the Celestial Palace, is he? Mother. Where are you going? Mother is going to chase your Father and return you to him. Oh, Mother doesn't trust Father?
Are you afraid of him having an affair with a beautiful lady? So you're using me as an excuse? What's going on in that small mind of yours everyday? Your Father is upstanding. Why would he be having affairs? Let's go. It's a shame, we haven't seen Aunt today. Did Aunt not come today because she knew the Crown Prince
and Water King of the North Sea would both be here at the Banquet? She's afraid the situation would become too awkward,
running into both former and current fiances? Awkward? As if ?! Senior Disciple. This isn't a good time to run into him. Let's go. It's been a while, high immortals.
It's a pleasure to see the two of you today. Please come inside. Okay. Mother, why are your eyes are red? Mother hasn't been to the Crystal Palace in a while.
I'm not use to the dampness. Then, let's go find Father. Lord Ye Hua is having a secret meeting with a lady. It would be rude of me to intrude. Mother, hurry up! Perhaps, your father doesn't want to be bother. If Mother doesn't go break them up,
Father will be taken by Princess Miao Qiang You see, your Father is a healthy young man
and Miao Qing is a lady in blooming. It's natural for a man and woman to desire each other. Since they're already together.
Why should we separate them up? Ruining others' relationship isn't a good thing. What do you have against Miao Qing that
you need to ruin her happiness? Mother, are you lecturing A-Lin right now? Alright, Alright. She once save me. I have already properly thank her. But now she thinks she would be different in Father's eyes
and refused to leave Mount Junji. She foolishly stayed by Father. She's super annoying. Saving your life is a serious matter. How can just saying "Thank you" be good enough? She doesn't know her position! She clearly knows Father has a wife.
Yet she approaches Father. Lives in Mother's house, used Mother's cooking ware
and steals Mother's husband. Does the Mount Junji of the Far East you mention belongs to Su Jin? No, No! It doesn't belong to Su Jin.
It belongs to Mother, it's yours. Father said you were a mortal back then
and met him on the Mount Junji of the Far East. You're mother was a mortal and not Su Jin? How can Mother be confused again?! You gave birth to me. How unexpected that the Crown Princes' only son
is given birth by a mortal? But you have never met me before,
how do you know I'm your mother? Father drew two painting and hung one in his chambers and one in mother's hut. Both show a woman in turquoise with a piece of white silk covering her eyes.
You looked like her back there in the gardens. No wonder. Later, Father said Mother jump into the Zhuxian Terrace
after giving birth to A-Lin. He also said mother left to the mortal realm and will one day return. Zhuxian Terrace? So his mother abandon him and jumped into the Zhuxian Terrace?
Then it's likely her body can't be found. This child is really pitiful. Mother, you seem like you don't even care at the very least!
Is it because you've already love another and no longer want A-Lin and Father?! You see, Mother is engaged to your Father. But this is the first time I met him.
I can't really say, I'm concern about him. Excuses! Father will marry a stepmother
and Mother will marry a stepfather!!! Father, aren't you going to chase after Mother ? No need to, I know where she went. Are we still staying here tonight? No. We're going to Ten-mile Peach Tree Woods. Ten-mile Peach Tree Woods ? You're taking me there, Father ? I have some things to ask Zhe Yan. - A-Li has gone to sleep?
- He's sleeping. He always falls asleep come nightfall. All these years, you've taken on
the role of his father and his mother. It truly is not an easy task. I have yet to thank you
for saving my life. I wasn't expecting you to thank me. Why? Although I saved you 300 years ago,
I did not wake you up. At the time, you were completely
disheartened and had no will to live. Since you did not want to live,
why are you thanking me now? But it seems you have found
something to live for now. Come, try my peach blossom wine. Tell me. What have you come for today? Bai Qian of Qing Qiu. When I accepted the engagement between
you two 300 years at the grand hall you did not seem interested. Yet, you are now. I have three questions. What are they? Tell me. Let's see if I can help you
clear things up. Why is Bai Qian so averse
to bright lights? Were her eyes injured before? It is an ailment she was born with. Is it true that in her battle
with Qing Cang 300 years ago she was injured and
was unconscious for many years? Of course it is true.
The whole world knows it. What's the matter? You don't believe it? Look at how old I am. I'm an old phoenix.
Why would I lie to a junior? It's true, it's true. It doesn't seem as if Zhe Yan is lying. Could it be... No, it can't be. Even if everything else is a coincidence,
that scar is real. Nobody is able to remove
the scars left by crimson hellfire. And what is the third question? Has she once forgotten something? How did you know? She truly has? That's an exaggeration. It's not amnesia. It's just that in the few years
she was asleep there were many events that happened
that she is unaware of. Why would you think
she had lost her memory? I am overthinking things. Does this fellow know something? Could he be the one
Bai Qian wanted to forget? By the way, Ye Hua,
I also have a question for you. Please ask. From the first time I saw you you have always been dressed
in black from head to toe. Even to this day. I just find it most strange. Why would such a young man as you
like to wear such a dark, gloomy color? This color indeed is not too pleasing,
but it is very practical. Should I be sliced by a sword one day
and my clothes become soaked with blood nobody would be able to tell. One would merely think
I'd fallen into a lake. If nobody can tell then my adversary will not
feel satisfaction from wounding me and my loved ones will not worry either. You are similar to Mo Yuan. Sometimes, even I speculate
whether you are actually Mo Yuan. No, I am not Mo Yuan. Here. Bi Fang, why are you here? How do you feel? Better? I feel much better after sleeping. Didn't you go out west? Fourth Brother didn't go see you? Are you thirsty? Do you want water? Sure. Thank you, Fourth Brother. You're Fourth Brother, right? Because I was just in a battle
and my magic is weak right now I couldn't see that you used magic
to change your appearance. You took on Bi Fang's
appearance to tease me. All right. Even though your
appearance is identical to his your personality is too different. Haven't you seen how
Bi Fang treats me normally? He's completely indifferent and doesn't
pay any attention to me. I didn't change my appearance.
I am truly Bi Fang. Zhe Yan and His Highness went to
West Sea to take care of some business. I was bored guarding the Peach Woods,
so I came here to see you. You're Bi Fang? Yes, you bird types are cold
unlike us fox types. I was just randomly spewing things.
Don't take it to heart. If I was by your side at that time even if I was covered in wounds,
I wouldn't let them hurt you one bit. Of course you would. After all, we're from the same fox den. If you fight with someone one day I would go and cheer for you too. Qian Qian, how long are you going
to keep playing dumb? You know how much I've adored you
since I've come to Qing Qiu. Are you saying those things
to make me angry? You... What did you say? Because you were engaged
to the celestial crown prince I had to make an effort
to hide my real feelings. But now, you've been
through such a disaster! Yet Ye Hua couldn't protect you one bit. While I was out,
I was asking around about him. I heard that he has a side consort. Who knows if a romantic like him
can treat you wholeheartedly? How can I be at ease
leaving you with him? - I--
- Qian Qian. That Bi Fang is so stubborn. He knows that Aunt and Celestial
Crown Prince are engaged yet he won't let it go. They say that bird types
are very faithful. If they have their heart
set on one person they will be with that person forever. Bi Fang, what are you to do? But it's strange. After Crown Prince brought High God Mo
Yuan back here, he didn't say anything. Could he have already known
that Aunt is Si Yin? Drink this medicine. You see... I was first engaged
to the Celestial Tribe. I'm happy that you say you adore me. But we're not fated to be. In all things, we must consider
first come first served, right? If you're willing to be with me I'm willing to offend
the Celestial Tribe. Why don't you leave first? You just have to tell me whether
you're willing to be with me. I'm someone who respects
proper etiquette. Since I have an engagement
with the Celestial Tribe of course I wouldn't do anything to make Qing Qiu and the
Nine Heavens look bad, right? I'm grateful that you say you adore me. But we just aren't fated to be. I won't say any more. If you can't stop your feelings for me you should continue hiding them. I know how you feel about me now. I will always remember it. Here, drink some medicine. I... I can do it myself. All right, you can get back to your work. I'm tired. I'm tired. Qian Qian. You know that whenever you
don't want me by your side your reason is always that you're tired? Is it? Isn't this my first time saying this? Qian Qian. Everything you just said was sincere. What should I do now? After getting rid of one,
another one comes. Letting me get this close
to you right now... Everything you've done for me
since I've come to Qing Qiu... Is it only because we're engaged? If you were engaged to someone else,
would you also be like this? Why is he asking such a strange question? Isn't it obvious? If we weren't engaged would he be able to freeload off
of me here again and again? Mi Gu would have kicked him out
when he first got to Qing Qiu. He wouldn't have gotten
to come inside the Fox Den and gotten one of the best rooms. Of course it's not just because we're
engaged that I treat you like this. You see, all this time that
you've been at the Fox Den you've worked so hard
reading all the documents. You've even cooked for us. I really appreciate all that
you've done for us. I'll remember them too. As they say, give and take. Since you've given me a peach of course I have to give you a plum. If I don't have a plum I have to at least substitute it
with a loquat for now. Although we are engaged if it were someone else,
he wouldn't treat me as well as you do. I've never cooked for anyone else. I've only cooked for you. Your cooking skills are really good. You should find the opportunity to cook
for your father, mother, and grandfather. Then you'd be the
true embodiment of filial piety. I didn't do all this for you
because we're engaged. I didn't come to live in Qing Qiu
just because A-Li misses you. So cooking is your hobby? That's a good hobby.
It's really practical. Qian Qian, I love you. Today... what's going on today? I've had no budding romances
for thousands of years and now I suddenly have two. One after the other,
they both say they adore me. What's going on? You can't joke about this kind of thing. I've never been more serious in my life. Without love, people can still be
married for a long time. But I want to love you
for a long, long time. I... Mother and Father said that after a married couple has
been together for a long time the romance in the air weakens. Slowly, you just become family. You see, we're quite like
a family right now, right? So I think we can skip over
the middle part. What do you think? I know that for someone your age you should go through
a few relationships. So since your feelings for me
aren't that strong yet you should get rid of them quickly. You'll know when you get to my age. You'll stop caring deeply
about many things. You'll lose interest in
something like love. It's a world where
it's lonely at the top. I've always thought that the engagement
agreement that binds us together was unfair for you. You're still so young. But you don't have to
be too upset about it. If we really do get married,
I will make arrangements so that you can marry a few
young and beautiful side consorts. Are you saying what you truly feel? Yes. It's truly how I feel. So you're saying these
things to upset me? It really does seem
as if he truly loves me. What do I do? I have to take some time
to think about this. I will only love you. I won't love anyone else. A-Li has already returned
to the Celestial Palace. He will be fine after
resting for a few days. I wanted to take you there too. The Heaven's Spring in Lord of Numinous
Treasures's Realm of Supreme Purity can help you heal your wounds. But that mount kept getting in my way so you'll have to decide
if you want to go or not. I'll do as you suggest. Hurry and get some sleep. If I didn't see Mo Yuan myself I wouldn't have dared to believe that
someone could look so much like me. Qian Qian, did you look upon
me as High God Mo Yuan and that's why you allowed
me to stay in Qing Qiu? Qian Qian. Ye Hua. Ye Hua, you-- Ye Hua, what are you doing? I thought you were going
to jump into the lake. Because it's so hot, I-- Qian Qian. I won't let you... Weren't you going through
documents in your room? Why are you here all of a sudden? When Mi Gu went to give you your dinner,
he saw that you weren't there. He told me, so I came out to find you. Let's go back. Since coming back
from Grand Ziming Palace he's never asked me about Master. That's weird. Fifth Sister, did you drink? Why are you so red? The scenery in Qing Qiu is so nice so I brought Crown Prince
here to look around. The setting sun, the light breeze,
the fragrance of a lake full of lotus... It really is a nice place to date. Bi Fang sent us a letter this afternoon
saying that you were beaten half dead. Your fourth brother and I thought
this was a rare occurrence and came back to see how
you were beaten half to death. Last time when I was half dead,
I was a bit lacking in manners. I got better on my own
without letting you see me. I was really sorry about that. Although I was heavily injured this time,
it wasn't that bad that I was half dead. I'm sorry for disappointing you. Where's all this anger coming from? Forget it. Forget it. Since I've made you angry I'll have to give you a treasured item
to alleviate your anger. Here, I'll give you this fan. It was painted by the Water King
of the West Sea himself. You lucked out. The old phoenix knows
to apologize with a gift. You are very smart indeed. But what did you two go to West Sea for? A few days ago, we ran into
Second Prince of West Sea. He said he wanted to ask Zhe Yan for
a favor, so we went to West Sea. Senior needed something? Oh? So you've told Ye Hua everything? You've had us old fogeys
hide your connection to Kunlun Mountain and all
those events all these years. Now we don't have to lie anymore. A while ago, Xuan Nu stole Master's body. Ye Hua helped me bring him back. Let's not talk about that now. Your brother and I are quite tired
after coming back from West Sea. Why don't we go inside the fox den? I didn't expect you to
get angry over words. High God Zhe Yan sure is capable. He's so much older than me.
It's okay to be angry with him. If a younger immortal
offended me through words I wouldn't bicker over it. I wish you would bicker
with me about everything. What's there to bicker about with you? Aunt! Your Highness. Ghost Lord Li Jing would like to see you. He's already waited for
half the day at the entrance. What does he want? What perfect timing. What luck I have today. I just so
happen to be here when it's so lively. Kick him out of the cave. Huh? Aunt, he's waiting at the entrance. He hasn't come inside. Let him leave whenever he wants. You have to resolve things. Dragging things out will
just increase your worries. Rather than finding another time,
why don't we just resolve things today? What's there to resolve between
me and him? Everything has already
been resolved long ago. Since your fourth brother is back,
he has taken my study room. I can't read my documents tonight,
so you'll have to play go with me. I'll have Mi Gu pack
some clothes for you. Come with me to
Celestial Palace tomorrow. Even Qing Qiu's entrance
has Mi Gu guarding it. But this Great Overarching Heaven,
holding 36 heavens doesn't even have someone
guarding the door? How unimposing. The Supreme Venerable Sovereign
began a sermon today. I suppose they have all left
to attend the assembly. So there is an assembly? Qian Qian. I heard that while you
were helping Yuan Zhen through his trial in the Mortal Realm you often discussed Taoism
with Yuan Zhen. You must be well-versed in Taoism now. In the past dozens of millennia nobody has been a good match to debate
the Supreme Venerable Sovereign. It is quite lonely at the top. Now that you are here,
you can debate with him. You flatter me. I heard the Heavenly Lord granted you
the name of Xiwu Palace when you were establishing your official
residence when you were 30,000 years old. That's correct. It's so dim inside. It's like the Crystal Palace of
the Eastern Sea during the banquet. That's because
you can't stand bright lights. Because of me? Qian Qian. I'll bring you inside. Who knew that to get to the Nine Heavens,
I'd have to jump in instead of walking through
the front entrance? To walk in from the front all the halls high and low
would have been alerted. All the commotion
would have been annoying. It wouldn't have been
as convenient as jumping in. That is reasonable. Oh, yes. We are here early today. Jia Yun hasn't delivered
your official documents yet. Don't tell me you didn't tell him
not to send them to Qing Qiu so he'd save his trip? You were right. It's a good thing we didn't enter
through the front door and alert all the other immortals. Otherwise, it would have been
very troublesome. Anyhow, we returned late last night. Have you made any progress on the
official reports that have piled up? The Crown Prince always looks serious
and calm as an immortal, like Dong Hua. But today, he's displaying an expression
that only a youthful man would have. It is rare indeed. I have something to discuss with you. You are suddenly so serious.
What could it be? It isn't anything serious. I will be recuperating here in
the Nine Heavens for a few days. Since I came in secret I didn't make known
my title as High Goddess. I mustn't have you arrange chambers
for me with great fanfare. Why don't I stay in
Riceball's Qingyun Hall for two days? You want to stay in A-Li's Qingyun Hall? Would it be inconvenient? I... I have already prepared chambers for you. By the way, about my master... Nobody else will know. You have peach blossoms
in your hall as well? Were they brought over from
the Heavenly Peach Garden? I planted these 300 years ago. Only this year have they finally
blossomed for the very first time. 300 years for the first blossom? You sure have patience. The Hall of Beautiful Youth? That is a nice name. It fits well with Xiwu Palace. Ever since I stepped into this hall why have I felt uneasy and uncomfortable? High Goddess, have some tea. Your Highness! Your Highness, it really is you! I have waited for you for 300 years. You've finally returned! Crown Prince's Soul-gathering Lamp
truly is a sacred item! Your Highness looks no different at all! You must be mistaken. I am Bai Qian of Qing Qiu,
not the lady you speak of. Nai Nai. This is High Goddess Bai Qian
of Qing Qiu. She will be staying here for a few days. You will attend to her. Stand up. She will be going to the Lord of
Numinous Treasures' Heavenly Spring. Go make preparations. Yes. Rest for now.
I'll bring A-Li here. All right. What? High Goddess Bai Qian has come
to the Nine Heavens? Yes, Your Highness. She entered from
the South Heavenly Gate just now. She is now in
the Hall of Beautiful Youth. What did you say? The Hall of Beautiful Youth? That place... Didn't His Highness
never allow anyone to go near it? Yes, Your Highness. I also find it strange. It is reasonable to say that
in these 300 years His Highness has always safeguarded
the place where that mortal lived. How come he has suddenly allowed
another woman to live there? Xin Nu. I think this Bai Qian... will be harder to to deal with
than I had imagined. Why does Your Highness say that? His Highness has broken his own rules
again and again for her. It's as if he has lost his mind. I had comforted myself before
by saying that it is all right. At least the one His Highness
loves the most is dead. But now... Xin Nu. You will help me, right? No matter what you will help me win back
Ye Hua's heart, won't you? Rest assured, Your Highness. I will always be
your most capable assistant. I will definitely help you. Your Highness, do not be afraid. She has just arrived in the Nine Heavens. She is not familiar with this place yet. We have been living in the
Celestial Palace for dozens of millennia. Yes. I must not panic. I am the side consort who was
officially wed into Xiwu Palace. I shouldn't panic. I should wait and see... how I can force her back. Has the Crown Prince always liked
peach blossoms so much? My lady really liked peach blossoms. After she left, the Crown Prince
planted peach trees all over the hall. Are you referring to A-Li's mother? You have heard of her before? When I first met A-Li, he told me. My lady left after she gave birth
to the young prince. The young prince was raised by me. Mother! You're here. Nai Nai, what's wrong? It's nothing. My hand slipped. Please forgive me. Riceball's mother has already passed away and cannot enjoy
the joys of having a child. Yet, I have gained that pleasure
as the stepmother. This maid must find it hard to watch. What a faithful and devoted maid. Mother, I want a hug. I am not feeling too well. Have your father hug you. I know. You're going to have
another baby, aren't you? That's what's written in the books. It said a madam was with child and her family wouldn't allow her
to hold a child from another family because they were afraid she would... Yes, disturb the fetus. You are only as tall as garlic sprouts. How come you know about
disturbing a fetus? A-Li. Who gave you that book? It was Cheng Yu who lent it to me. Cheng Yu again. This Cheng Yu sure is
an interesting person. Even if you were pregnant,
why would you be blushing? I'm delighted. If Mother has a baby then I won't be the youngest
in Heaven anymore. Qian Qian, why don't we have one
as soon as we are married? If you are the one to
give birth to the baby I would be very happy to help. Since A-Li is here, why don't we
all go to the Realm of Supreme Purity? Let's go. Did you give wine to A-Li? He has been sleeping since
yesterday afternoon. What happened? I merely gave him
a little too much fruit wine. He was just drunk. He still hasn't woken up.
Why didn't you report this to me? Why didn't you summon the Medicine King
to take a look at him? A-Li is still a child.
Why are you so anxious? When I was young,
I drank Zhe Yan's wine in secret and slept for five days without waking. My parents didn't seem fazed. Besides, A-Li is a boy. If you pamper him too much,
he will grow up to be effeminate. You did not raise A-Li so you have been
regarding him as a stepson. If he were your own son, would you
still be able to say these words? That's correct. Such a lively and likable child
couldn't be mine. It's just a shame that the woman
who gave birth to A-Li has already jumped off Zhuxian Terrace. What I learned at Kunlun Mountain was
the way to being free and unrestrained. Naturally, I did not learn to be
kindhearted and merciful and am unable to treat your A-Li well. I remember Lord Ye Hua's consort
is most kindhearted. She must be able to
take good care of A-Li. Then he won't have to suffer with me. You don't need to say
such things to anger me. You know that is not what I meant. I was criticized by those two maids
early in the morning and now I am being scolded by
the Crown Prince. I came here to recuperate,
not to be angered. High Goddess! Did you see who left the hall just now? What's the matter? Speak slowly. You should punish me.
It is all my fault. You treat the young prince so well. Even if my lady were reborn,
she would be grateful to you. If the young prince ends up in
Consort Su Jin's hands because of me - then I... I...
- You just said... Riceball is in Su Jin's hands? What do you mean? I am speaking too fast. Right after you left,
Consort Su Jin arrived. She said she was led here
by the immortal energy and came to the Hall of Beautiful Youth to greet the honored guest and
visit the young prince. - Su Jin came to see me?
- Yes. But 300 years ago, His Highness said Consort Su Jin is not allowed to
come near the Hall of Beautiful Youth. She has abided by the rule
all these years. But for some reason,
she suddenly came by today. I was able to block her. I just went to the back to fetch water and now the young prince is gone! Don't worry. It was Ye Hua who took Riceball.
It has nothing to do with Su Jin. Is that the truth? Why would I lie to you? If Su Jin had taken Riceball,
I would have taken him back already. Would I be here comforting you? That's good, that's good. But, it seems you are
very wary of Su Jin. Does this Su Jin have anything to do with A-Li's mother
jumping off Zhuxian Terrace? The Heavenly Lord ordered that
nobody speak of that. The maids who knew about it were all sent to various deity mountains and are no longer in
the Celestial Palace. All right, you don't need to say
any more. I understand. Where are they now? Take me to them. If Riceball is fine,
I will bring him back. Yes. Your Highness need not worry. The prince just has a low tolerance.
He is not in any danger. He just needs to soak in
this sobering bath and he'll wake before nightfall. What is the matter with A-Li? Third Prince, the young prince just has
a low alcohol tolerance and had too much to drink. - All right. You may go.
- Yes. Someone told me you rushed out of the
Hall of Beautiful Youth carrying A-Li. I thought something
had happened to A-Li. I thought that bringing
Bai Qian up to Heaven with your wedding coming soon
would make you more cheerful. But look at you now.
You don't look any happier. Is it because you're anxious
about becoming a groom? You didn't raise A-Li so
you only regard him as a stepson. If he were your son,
would you still say such words? Ye Hua... Ye Hua... You... This scar... Were you scarred saving Mo Yuan? Bai Qian... Do I have a place in your heart? You've waited 70,000 years for him. Now that he's returned... You certainly couldn't care
for anyone else. It was just wishful thinking. Are you referring to my mentor? Why would it concern you
whether my mentor returns or not? Besides, only Zhe Yan, my fourth brother,
and I knew about my mentor. How did you learn about this? Zhe Yan told me about it. I even know that in order
to make him wake up sooner you will need the Soul-gathering Lamp. Tell me. What else do you plan
to do after getting the lamp? I'm going to Yingzhou for
the divine fungal grass. I'll use my cultivation
to create an elixir with the grass and feed it to Die Yong. Then my mentor will wake up
in no more than three months. You're crazy. You think that you can get
the divine fungal grass so easily? I have to get that grass
no matter what happens! I know that the four mystical beasts
guarding the grass are very fierce. My father was badly injured
when he fought them. And you still plan to do it? Definitely! You would risk your life for him? Ye Hua, it's good that you came here. I need to speak to you about something. Our engagement... Why don't we just cancel it? What did you say? I've heard that the Heavenly Lord will
pass on the throne to you. I also know that during the coronation you and I will have to take
81 sacred blazes and 9 holy thunderbolts. Rightfully, I should
endure that with you. However, I have to transfer
my cultivation to my mentor. I might not be able to
take on fires of karma with you. We weren't supposed to be married
in the first place anyway. It was all because of Sang Ji's mistake
that embarrassed Qing Qiu. The Heavenly Lord didn't want to look bad so he arranged for us to be engaged. Leave it to Qing Qiu to
break off the engagement. We don't really have to care
too much about the past anymore. I understand. Come to my room tonight. The Soul-gathering Lamp
isn't in the Celestial Palace. I have it with me. It all turns out to be
just wishful thinking after all. How much do I owe you?
Who knows what you owe me? It's all a mess now. It can't be sorted out anymore. When Riceball got drunk yesterday Nai Nai said that
the little prince inherited his father's poor capacity for wine. One, two, three, four, five.
Five urns of wine? He's not that bad at drinking. You're here for the Soul-gathering Lamp? Come with me. The lamp is here. Put this at Die Yong's bedside
for three days. Mo Yuan's soul will gather there. You must remember that
throughout those three days the light must not go out. You can't use your powers to
protect it either. You have to keep it lit by yourself. I know. I'll be very cautious. I worry for nothing. You'll certainly take good care
of Mo Yuan dutifully. Don't die... There's an aura of mortals on this lamp. This is... I've used this lamp once. I remember that Nai Nai told me you once tried to use
this Soul-gathering Lamp to put together
the body of Riceball's mother. I'll take this lamp then. I know that this lamp is
a sacred artifact of the Celestial Tribe. Is it inappropriate
for you to give it to me so easily? Before I came to borrow this lamp I thought that borrowing this lamp
would make up for whatever Qing Qiu and
the Celestial Tribe owe one another. But now that you've given it
to me so easily... I... I'm really touched. You've helped me so much. I should repay your kindness. What is it you need? Tell me. I'll do my best to help you. There's nothing I want. There really isn't anything you want? Then... I'll head back now. All I ever wanted... All I want has always been just you. You want... me? Forget that I ever said it then. I should head back now. Ye Hua... You... You... What I think in the day
is reflected at night in my thoughts? Do I already think of Ye Hua...
in such a lustful way? Where... Where are my clothes? I find them troublesome,
so I took our clothes off with magic. You... You... You want to be with me? I want to be with you. This might be the last time
I can have you all to myself. Even if you might only have
Mo Yuan on your mind. You're not asleep yet? I've often heard of your valiance
from my fourth brother. He said that any battle
you are engaged in no one has been able to defeat you. How did you almost
get your spirit vanquished in that war with the Mermaid Clan? If I hadn't purposely let them win,
how could a mere mermaid hurt me? Why would you do that? All my life, I've never envied anyone. Apart from my Uncle Sang Ji. Have you heard that
he eloped with Shao Xing? He and Shao Xing? Have you forgotten? I was involved in that. My uncle sought love and found it. It might have been a tough journey,
but it ended well. The Heavenly Lord might dote on him
but he never made him the Crown Prince. Without such a title,
it was easy for him to get away. What about you? Me? Although I'm the Crown Prince it's fortunate that the woman I love is
Qing Qiu's High God Bai Qian. Qian Qian... Yes? If one day, someone took
your eyes... Would you forgive him? Who would dare take my eyes? What if that man is me? You? If you really take my eyes,
it'll be over between us. You must remember to keep that
Soul-gathering Lamp lit for three days. You can't be even one hour short. You can't use magical powers. You have to watch it yourself. I know. I will be careful. Don't worry. Sleep well.
