Best wishes

for a long harmonious relationship.

Best wishes

for a long harmonious relationship.

Best wishes

for a long harmonious relationship.

I heard the Princess of Crimson Clan

is not willing to be married here.

That princess' heart

belongs to someone else.

But this wedding was granted

by the Emperor.

If she refuses to marry,

it'll anger the Emperor

and the whole Crimson Clan

will be implicated.

The auspicious hour has arrived.
Let's proceed with the ceremonial union.

Young Lady,

it's not late to stop this.

Young Lady,

you can never return once you step out

of this tent.

His Lordship and Her Ladyship
are not young anymore.

You're their only daughter.

Do you really have the heart
to abandon them?

Even if I stayed here,

I can never see them

in this lifetime either.

It's no different than being dead.

Please receive the wedding gifts,
Your Highness.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

(It's actually a decoy.)

Exchange nuptial wine.

Best wishes

for a long harmonious relationship.

Best wishes

for a long harmonious relationship.

Good!

Sand demon! Run!

Completely outrageous.

Finally,

no one will force me

to marry again in this life.

Father.

Mother.

Forgive me.

We shall bid farewell

in this lifetime.

Who's there?

Master.

You...

How could you do this

to the gift I gave you?

Master,

what brought you here out of a sudden?

I...

I thought I would never see you again

in this lifetime.

Didn't you invite me

to your wedding feast?

The Principal Sorcerer
of the Huotu Tribe

possesses profound magical powers.

He could easily see

through your tricks.

The Principal Sorcerer

actually has such powers.

It looks like I underestimated him.

So

you put on a show

to escape the wedding

right under his nose.

You're truly ignorant
of the consequences.

Didn't you draw a line between us?

Why are you here to lecture me?

To be honest, if it weren't for you

who appeared out of nowhere,

I would have escaped.

Escaped?

Yes.

I learned this trick

from you.

Deception and transformation,

like a cicada shedding its skin.

But with your skills,

how can it be convincing?

Even if they don't immediately realize

the substitute

was merely your puppet,

Great Consort Suda

and Lord Ke'erke are not fools.

Won't they later discover

that the famous Jiang Bead Flying Flame

is nothing more

than a wooden-headed fool?

You...

All right.

My plan has many flaws.

But Master,

as the Priest of Grand Preceptor
of Jiuyi Mountain,

you're always busy and rarely seen.

Did you come all this way

just to expose

your disciple's plan to flee
from a marriage?

But

the wedding ceremony is canceled.

Master's long journey

was in vain.

It's okay.

I can wait for the next one.

What?

The next one?

There won't be another one.

Master, just return my Jade Bone quickly.

I was actually planning

to retrieve it myself.

Forget it,

explaining is pointless.

Whatever I say will be wrong.

Come back with me

and see the mess you've made.

Don't worry.

We're invisible under the umbrella.

No one can see us.

How is she?

The Princess is severely injured

and needs immediate treatment.

Quickly carry her into the tent.

Yes.

Even if it's not obvious,

but checking the pulse reveals

that this fake person is already dead.

What exactly do the Great Consort

and this Principal Sorcerer
intend to do?

It'll be a little challenging.

We can only...

Ke'erke,

you should withdraw for now.

Have the area surrounded

and don't let anyone approach the tent.

If the Jialan envoys ask,

tell them the Principal Sorcerer

is currently saving Her Highness's life.

They should not enter
as it's a life and death matter.

Understand?

Go now.

In this gruesome situation,

Lord Ke'erke's reaction is expected,

but this Great Consort looks too calm.

She doesn't feel surprised or sad

over her daughter-in-law's death.

In the face of my lifeless body,

your mind

remains sharp and agile.

That's not normal too.

Great Consort,

we can only resort

to another method now.

Luckily, the materials
are already prepared.

I can perform the ritual now.

Why did they obtain

so many merfolks' eyes?

That's too cruel.

(The clues about the merfolks)

(are indeed related
to the Great Consort.)

Yuan.

I hope Yuan is safe.

Yuan?

He's our residence's keeper.

I saw him a couple of days ago.

The color of the Jade Tears
would darken significantly three days

after separating from the body.

Since you saw him recently,

so

his eyes are not among these.

What are they up to?

Jade Tears fall to the ground.

Fire burns in the blood.

The devouring of the demon.

The return of the dead!

It seems like she has come back to life.

It can completely deceive
with a fake appearance.

I intended

to have you use your magic tonight

to control Zhu Yan's mind

and manipulate her as we wish.

Now, with her remains,

it'll be even easier

to create another one.

Congratulations, Great Consort.

We've successfully gained control

over the Crimson Clan's Princess.

The entire clan

is within your grasp.

You can confidently raise an army

and claim the Western Huang as yours.

To think

that she had ill intentions
when seeking marriage.

My father and mother

had always trusted
the Huotu Tribe so much.

Yet, they secretly harbored

such treacherous thoughts.

(Searching for the Sea Emperor
may be urgent.)

(If I ignore)

(the Great Consort's treasonous act,)

(Western Huang will engulf in war,)

(and)

(countless innocent people will suffer.)

They even wanted
to turn me into a puppet.

Their malice knows no bounds.

Don't worry.

I won't let such a thing happen.

Something's not right.

How come this puppet lacks vitality?

She just died.

How can her soul and spirits

be completely absent?

Are you saying...

This puppet is fake.

The Princess is still alive.

Fake?

I'm the real Princess
of the Crimson Clan.

They...

Master.

That puppet is a fake.

You can't deceive anyone with that.

Two princesses?

Great Consort,
which one do you want to keep?

Of course, we can't keep the real one.

Master.

I knew you won't abandon me.

I said this before,

you won't turn into a puppet.

When did I break my promise?

Are you Jiuyi Mountain's
Priest of Grand Preceptor?

Yes.

You practice dark magic,

sacrificing living beings.

Such acts go against the natural order

and must be punished.

You're just a mere Immortal Official,

an outsider,

who can only deal with matters
of magic and rituals.

You can't meddle

in the affairs of our Huotu Tribe,

and you definitely can't stop me

from punishing my daughter-in-law
for escaping this marriage.

Today, I absolutely won't

let these two leave Susahalu!

Capture them!

Mother,

what's going on?

Your Highness?

You saved her?

Your future wife

colludes with an outsider,

attempting to wipe out Huotu Tribe

in one fell swoop.

Jiuyi Mountain and the Crimson Clan

are using this wedding
as a ploy to deal with us.

It's clearly their conspiracy!

Trying to make yourself look innocent.

It was clearly you

who wanted to turn me into a puppet,

to control the Western Huang.

To practice dark magic, many merfolks

in the Huotu Tribe have disappeared.

Lord Ke'erke, didn't you notice

any unusual signs?

Everyone,

draw your bows!

Master,

that day,

we didn't die together
in the Cangwu Abyss.

Today,

it seems we're destined

to die together in this desert.

In the next life...

You won't become a puppet,

and you won't die.

You have to trust me.

Release the arrows!

(Master's power)

(has unexpectedly advanced so much.)

How is this possible?

He can actually

control millions of arrows

by controlling one arrow.

This means he can single-handedly

stand against millions of people.

It's impossible.

It can't be!

Principal Sorcerer.

Principal Sorcerer!

Principal Sorcerer!

Great Consort Suda,

will you confess
and accept the punishment?

Two princesses?

Great Consort,

which one do you want to keep?

Of course, we can't keep the real one.

You planned to kill the Princess
of the Crimson Clan,

to conspire and cause chaos
in the Western Huang.

The evidence is conclusive.

Do you admit your crime?

So everything

was a trap you set up.

(Master left)

(to make the Great Consort
lower her guard.)

(So that he could obtain)

(her confession firsthand.)

Fine.

I admit my crime.

Master, are you all right?

Are you hurt?

Lord Ke'erke,

now you know the entire truth.

Your mother,

conspired with crooked sorcerer
and planned rebellion.

And your father,

I'm afraid he also died

under the forbidden magic

of that Principal Sorcerer.

You and the soldiers here

are the true warriors.

Are you all going to rebel

and conspire with her?

In the laws of Kongsang,

we've always punished the ringleaders

and condemned the accomplices.

If you truly care for your people,

you should stop before it's too late.

At this point,

everything is my mother's fault.

As the Cheif of the Huotu Tribe,

I'm willing to bear
all the responsibility.

I ask that you

won't implicate the entire clan.

As long as you don't rebel,

I'll request the Emperor

to spare the innocent.

Thank you, Priest.

Mother,

Mother, for the sake of our people,

you must live on.

Ke'erke!

Ke'erke!

Son!

My son!

Son.

My son.

Ke'erke!

Ying!

Yan'er.

How did you end up fighting

while I went to inquire about Guwei City?

See?

As soon as I'm gone for a moment,

you make a mess like this.

Yan'er,

it's been a while since we last met.

Why the long face?

Did Ying ruin your wedding

and make you unhappy?

Great Consort Suda's conspiracy

was all for Ke'erke.

And Ke'erke in turn,

took his life to atone for her sins.

I'm sure she's in utter despair now,

with no other thoughts.

Chong Ming,

go to the tent and take her away

and interrogate her rigorously.

We'll surely extract the whereabouts
of Guwei City from her.

Master,

why didn't you save him earlier?

Ke'erke intended to use his sacrifice

to clear the name of the Huotu Tribe.

So the matter ends here.

I'll hand over the Great Consort

to the Jialan envoys

and have her sent back for trial,

without implicating more people.

You could have saved him earlier.

But why didn't you?

I...

I did try to save him.

I didn't have enough time.

No,

you had enough time.

When Great Consort Suda's dagger

was about to strike me,

you had enough time.

Yan'er,

you're stronger than you think.

Remember this.

As long as you're willing,

you'll always have enough time.

You can always

do it.

Let's go.

The escape failed

and I was caught again.

Young Lady!

Young Lady, you're back!

I'm glad you're safe.

The situation was so chaotic

that I could only hide from fear.

This is...

This is my master.

Priest of Grand Preceptor.

Priest of Grand Preceptor,
what brings you here?

Young Lady, what did I tell you?

He does have you in his heart.

Yufei,

go and inform the escorts

that I'm fine so they're not worried.

I have important matters to attend to

and will leave shortly.

I've already written a letter
to your father,

asking him to come
and take you back as soon as possible.

So you didn't visit Huotu Tribe

because of me.

But a mere coincidence

that led to my rescue.

Yes.

Master, you sure are busy.

After a brief encounter,
then you have to leave.

About you escaping the marriage,

I won't tell your father.

But I have one question to ask you.

Are you truly aware

of the consequences of this matter?

Didn't you lecture me before?

Bring trouble to one's parents,

and a plan with loopholes everywhere.

Put out your hand.

Master,

are you going to hit me?

In Jiuyi Mountain,

I only taught you magic techniques.

I never used rules to restrain you.

Since you are now in the mortal world,

let me teach you

the rules of being a royal clan member.

Master,

are you going to teach me?

I thought you were busy.

How do you have time to teach me now?

Don't come closer.

If you come any closer,

I am capable of doing anything.

What are you trying to do?

I'm not a child anymore.

I'm already an adult.

I even had a husband who died.

If you dare to hit me again,

I will scream.

There are so many people outside.

I'll call them all here.

See if you dare to hit me
in front of them.

Let me go!

Or else...

Or else I'll scream for help!

If you dare to hit me,

I'll...

You hit me for real.

Fine.

Go ahead and hit me again.

I hit you

because I want you to remember

that as the Princess
of the Crimson Clan,

you should never

risk your own life

and the lives of your clansmen.

The wedding congratulatory letter
was just my wish,

not a command.

Your desires

are in your own hands.

It doesn't matter
if it's Qing Gang or Ke'erke.

If you want to marry, then go ahead.

If you don't want to,

then convince your parents
of your decision.

If you marry and later discover
their treasonous intentions,

you can also inform your father

through messengers

instead of resorting to running away.

Why? You don't agree?

What you said is right.

But you only know how to speak logically

and don't understand my struggles.

If I refuse to marry,

Consort Qing will use this

against my father.

So I can only marry.

But I am unwilling.

So I planned the escape.

I thought

after you leave Jiuyi Mountain,

the Azure Clan
would no longer trouble you

and your clansmen.

Consort Qing
didn't cause us trouble

because of you.

Father said

it was because my father

refused to submit to her.

That's why Consort Qing

deliberately did this to force him.

She's using this as means
of personal revenge.

You can write a letter to inform me.

Although I'm usually not in the palace,

it won't be difficult

for me to enter Jialan City

and have a chat with Consort Qing.

So

you're concerned about me.

Am I right?

But you never tell me anything.

You never tell me what's on your mind,

your plan,

and everything about you.

You treat me like an outsider.

I'm not a worm in your belly.

How would I know?

I'm aware of it.

I won't dream

of returning to Jiuyi Mountain anymore.

You no longer have

to send me any wedding wishes

or be concerned about me.

Actually, it's my own fault

for not being proficient enough in magic

to protect my family.

If I had your strategies and abilities,

I wouldn't be controlled by others.

(It's good that you think that way.)

(Keep your distance
from Jiuyi Mountain and me)

(to avoid getting involved in conflicts.)

(I hope this will be the last time)

(you get implicated by me.)

Master,

why are you grounding me again?

General Jiang Chen of the Kongji Army

will temporarily take over Huotu Tribe.

The rest of the matters

will be handled

after your father arrives.

Didn't you want to possess

the same abilities as me?

Then stay here

and practice magic seriously.

If you want to go out,

you can break my barrier

after you finished reading this book.

When that time comes,
no one can stop you.

Master!

What is it?

Master,

we have to separate

after a brief meeting.

I feel reluctant.

Why not take me

with you wherever you go?

I'll follow you
to the ends of the earth.

You're just using sweet words to escape

because you can't defeat me.

Instead of playing these tricks,

it's better to focus on practicing magic

and escape from this barrier.

So what if you have advanced skills
in magic?

I didn't say anything.

Sure enough,

you treat me as an outsider.

You refuse to teach me your expertise.

So what?

Having advanced magic skills

does make a person superior.

You...

When Princess was in trouble,

the Priest of Grand Preceptor arrived.

It looks like

they have developed
some kind of affection

at Jiuyi Mountain.

That's for sure.

Did you say goodbye to Zhu Yan?

What did you talk about?

Nothing much.

After leaving the mountain,

Zhu Yan may behave out of line.

But her mentality has matured.

Just listen to yourself,

you speak with a master's tone.

(What you said is right.)

But you only know how to speak logically

and don't understand my struggles.

If I refuse to marry,

Consort Qing will use this

against my father.

So I can only marry.

But I am unwilling.

So I planned the escape.

I am

her master, to begin with.

Did you get any information

from Great Consort?

She took her own life.

But before she died,

she told me the location of Guwei City.

It's located outside Tianqian Pass,

where many merfolks are imprisoned.

There might be clues
about the evil force.

We shouldn't waste time.

Let's leave immediately.

What are you doing?

I inadvertently resolved the rebellion

in the Huotu Tribe.

But the presence of the Huotu Tribe
in the Crimson Clan's territory

might cause trouble for the Crimson King.

I send the azure bird

to deliver the evidence
of the Great Consort's treason

back to Extreme Wind City.

Jiuyi Mountain is a place
outside the world

and shouldn't be involved
in the affairs of Jialan.

The credit for suppressing the rebellion

should go to the Crimson King.

Although you are in the outside world,

you possess strategic thinking

and governance abilities.

In my opinion,

if you're willing
to leave the priesthood

and return to Jialan,

you can bring peace to the world
and marry...

All these problems

will be easily resolved.

Second.

What do you mean, second?

You've gone too far with your words.

You mentioned this once before

in the Hall.

Three strikes and you're out.

If there's a third time,

we don't need to meet again.

No need to take it
so seriously, Shi Ying.

I was just joking.

Pretend I never said it.

Be gentle.

Priest of Grand Preceptor
sure is heartless.

Look how swollen your palm is.

Nonsense.

With Master's skills,

if he really wanted to harm me,

it would be easy.

If he were truly heartless,

how do I only suffer

some superficial injuries?

Anyway,

you really know how to defend
the Priest of Grand Preceptor.

No wonder...

No wonder

people say that you two...

This one.

Nonsense!

Deliver my command.

If anyone dares

to spread slanderous remarks

against my master,

they will be immediately punished
by death.

After all, I'm the Princess
of Western Huang.

I'm capable of handling such matters.

Of course.

I'll convey your command.

It's all my fault
for speaking carelessly earlier,

causing trouble for my master.

Indeed,

this barrier

was specifically set up

to block me only.

Barrier...

Oh no.

How could I forget about Lady Yu
and her child?
