[Love of Petals]

[Episode 9]

Miss Gu.

Lan An.

What are you doing?

Miss Gu.

Thank you for your righteous assistance.

But the only solution now

is to remove my thousands of years of cultivation.

You want to remove your thousands of years of cultivation?

Why?

Only by dissolving my essence into the rootless water

can we save all the flowers and plants in the city.

Then...

Will you die?

Your cultivation is still not deep enough.

After removing your cultivation,

you'll definitely die.

Aren't you afraid?

I am afraid.

It's not a fear of death.

I just fear that

Lan An will be too lonely when she's alone in this world.

Shi Huai and I

are both outcasts which are not accepted by the world.

Actually, having met each other

is already our greatest happiness.

I beg you, Master. Please leave a piece of my living soul

so that I can stay by Lan An's side.

I'll be deeply grateful.

Miss Gu, please fulfill my wish.

You were originally an ancient divine beast.

I can't believe that you're willing to sacrifice so much

for your beloved woman.

Master.

Being able to make a sacrifice for the one you love

is the greatest happiness.

If you have someone whom you fancy,

you will surely understand how I feel now.

If you have someone whom you fancy,

you will surely understand how I feel now.

Someone whom I fancy?

What are you thinking about?

Lan An

came to see me.

Shi Huai also came to see me.

Lan An said that

she was willing to remove her thousands of years of cultivation

even at the cost of her life,

and she would rather not implicate Shi Huai.

Shi Huai is also willing to die.

His only wish is to stay by Lan An's side.

Do you think

love always means sacrifice and selflessness?

Just like Lan An and Shi Huai,

even if they can never be together in this life,

they're still willing to make sacrifices.

♫I'll wait to meet you again in the thousands of times of reincarnation♫

♫Don't forget the previous life when petals are falling like rain♫

♫We've met again after a long separation and you sound the same as before♫

♫I long to look back so that my life can be complete♫

♫I travelled across the River of Forgetfulness and it was like a dream♫

♫The memories of the past almost drowned me♫

♫I've been missing you and I thought we could stay together forever♫

The doctor Shi Huai mentioned

lives in this herbal hut.

What a strong demonic aura.

This scale...

Is that

him?

Lyu Gengyun!

Lyu Gengyun!

Immortal Qin Shan.

Qin Shan.

Lyu Gengyun.

I've heard that the demons in your place

have caused all the flowers and plants in the city to wither.

Is that true?

Why is he here?

You've arrived quite quickly.

I am the Judicial Lord.

Any wrongdoing within the three realms

cannot escape my discerning eyes.

Even with your myriad capabilities,

there are things that you cannot see.

For example, something that doesn't exist in the Heavenly Realm,

that is, love.

Matters of love

are actually under the jurisdiction of the God of Marriage.

I, as the Judicial Lord, only focus on evidence.

Your subordinates, Demon Shi Huai

and Tree Demon Lan An

have brought a disaster to the mortal world. The evidence is irrefutable.

Do you still want to deny it?

Your Excellency!

This matter arose because of me.

Please hold me alone accountable

and do not punish others.

Your Excellency, please be merciful.

As long as you can spare Lan An,

I'm willing to remove all of my cultivation

to save the flowers and plants in Pingcheng.

No!

Your Excellency, my cultivation is stronger.

I should be responsible for this matter.

No!

How can I let you be responsible for this matter alone?

Your Excellency,

I beg for your mercy!

All the flowers and plants in the city have withered.

You two must come to the Heavenly Realm with me today

to face trial.

Your Excellency.

Shi Huai and Lan An

didn't truly intend to harm anyone.

They were merely used by someone else.

Now they sincerely want to make amends.

May I plead with you

to give them a chance to repent?

It's you again.

If love outweighs the law,

wouldn't it mean that

anyone might dare to cross the line?

Isn't that so?

Does love always mean sacrifice and selflessness?

Even if this couple can't be together in this lifetime?

Loving someone

isn't about sacrifice and selflessness.

It's for

staying together forever.

If I can remedy all of this,

then please forgive them.

What do you think?

You're saying that you can remedy all of this?

Give me a quarter of an hour.

Then I'll

just give you a quarter of an hour.

When the rootless water is mixed with the sap of the Lan An tree,

it can indeed be used to remove the Plants Killer Poison.

However, to revive

the flowers and plants poisoned by the sap of the Lan An tree,

we need to use the peony, the King of Flowers, as a catalyst.

That's not okay.

Using yourself as medicine

will harm your essence, Master.

As I'm your master

and you have made mistakes,

I should take responsibility, too.

Each of you should use half of your spiritual power to help me

and make amends.

Shi Huai and Lan An love each other so deeply.

They're supposed to stay together.

The word "love"

touches people's hearts

because

it's about an uncontrollable supreme joy.

No one needs to die.

And no one should die.

-It's raining! -It's raining! -It's raining!

-They're alive! -They're alive! -They're alive!

-It's raining! -It's raining! -It's raining!

My flowers are alive!

They're alive!

They're all alive!

God, please save my flowers!

Please save my flowers!

They're alive! They're all alive!

They're alive! They're alive!

Thank you, God!

Shi Huai and Lan An

used their cultivation to infuse the rootless water.

Now all the flowers and plants in the city have been revived.

It can be considered as making amends for their mistakes.

Lyu Gengyun.

You've consumed your spiritual power

just to save their lives.

I'm really surprised.

Perhaps it's because I've come to this mortal world

that I now understand how precious love is.

Fine.

Since they have already been punished

and have made amends for their mistakes,

then I'll allow them to stay in the mortal world.

Thank you, Your Excellency!

You're really an immortal who is tough on the outside

with a soft and warm heart inside.

That's great!

Stand up now!

Thank you, Master.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lyu.

Thank you, Miss Gu.

Stinky monkey!

Stinky monkey!

Are you sneakily eating the food again?

Luckily, we got your help today.

Because of you, Lan An's and Shi Huai's

problem was solved successfully.

Actually, they saved each other themselves.

Water it more.

Don't be stingy with the water.

He told you to water it more.

That's wonderful.

So love isn't about sacrifice,

but about staying with each other.

The prejudice against the Lan An tree

made everyone forget that

it's actually a medicinal herb.

The prejudice against the Shi Huai Bird

made everyone stay away from it.

But in fact, he's lively by nature

and loves to play with everyone.

When we mentioned demons before,

we thought they were cold-blooded, heartless

and cruel.

Isn't that also a kind of prejudice?

-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.

I've owed you an apology all this time.

I should have told you earlier that

I'm not the Flowers Immortal Lord.

Actually, I should apologize to you.

Previously,

I always spoke rudely to you

because you were a demon.

But I wasn't really angry with you.

I was just a bit disappointed in myself.

Ever since I was a kid,

I've always had a dream.

I hope that one day,

by breeding flowers and plants,

I can ask the Flowers Immortal Lord to take me to Heaven

to meet my parents.

Maybe

I don't have the luck to see that immortal.

Nor do I have the gift for it.

Gu Qingcheng,

I'm sorry.

So,

are we reconciled now?

Yes.

What are you doing?

Put it on now

so that you won't secretly summon me again

while I'm bathing.

When did I do that while you were...

When... did I...

Nothing. I'm saying that since I'm your master,

you should listen to me.

Put it on now.

You even have the nerve to call yourself my master?

What have you even taught me?

I've taught you so much.

It's all genuine knowledge.

Making me stand under the blazing sun with a flowerpot on my head

also counts as genuine knowledge?

Come on. This way.

Speaking of this,

if they're idle all day,

I'm afraid it might lead to problems.

I want them to do a job

to make a living here,

but I don't know what job they should do.

Well, look at this place of yours.

There are mountains and rivers here.

Why not start a business?

They can plant flowers

and taste wine.

Planting flowers sounds good.

Then...

Let's call it Qingcheng Flower Nursery.

That's...

not quite appropriate, is it?

Why is it not appropriate?

When I, Lyu Gengyun, plant flowers,

I'm alluring, that is "qingcheng."

Qingcheng Flower Nursery is an appropriate name.

It sounds good.

You're the best at planting flowers.

How about

doing the business with me?

Will I get paid?

No.

Wait.

What if there will be profit-sharing

and you'll have half of the ownership?

Since you're begging me like that,

I suppose I'll reluctantly

help you.

[Sun's Mansion]

Pingkang!

I'd like to ask

how Wushuang's recovery has been

these days.

The flowers and plants are as lush as before.

I've mostly recovered.

I can return to my master's side now.

That's great!

I'm going to start a business with my master.

Qingcheng Flower Nursery's greenhouse is larger with more flowers.

Would you like to come and help?

We're short-handed right now.

Well...

"Mostly recovered" means that

she hasn't fully recovered yet.

Besides, in the early stages of your business,

don't you need to make preparations?

I think it's better for Wushuang

to stay here until

she fully recovers. It's safer in that way.

It's alright.

I'll go help my master.

Wushuang.

I think

what Pingkang said is quite right.

You haven't fully recovered yet.

Your condition might relapse.

If you go there now,

you might not only be unable to help my master

but also make him get distracted.

The opening ceremony is approaching, so there's a lot to do,

and he's very busy.

How about...

this?

I'll go there first

to tidy up the Qingcheng Flower Nursery.

You can come later. Don't worry.

I'm really skilled at flower-planting.

I can also plant flowers quite quickly.

Alright.

Then I'll stay here

to absorb more spiritual energy of flowers and plants

so that I can recover soon.

Pingkang.

I'm going to stay in the Qingcheng Flower Nursery for some days.

I won't be living at home during this period.

My Lady!

My Lady.

You're not coming back to live here?

Then I'll go with you, too.

Who will take care of my flowers if you go?

And I also need you to take care of my parents.

My Lady.

Alright. It's not like I'll never come back.

Smile now.

Don't worry about our parents.

I'll explain everything to them properly.

Well,

you need to work hard, Pingkang.

I'll entrust Sun's Mansion to you guys.

I need to get back to work.

My Lady, let me see you off!

My Lady!

Step aside.

You annoying fat guy!

You know what?

There are so many flowers.

But that girl has actually managed to plant them all.

Some of these flowers

were even transplanted by her from the garden of her home.

Sun's Mansion happened to

be running out of space anyway.

Are you really going to do business with her?

Something's wrong.

You want to find a chance

to make her stay with you and retrieve the Flower Spirit, right?

Luring the enemy deep into the trap.

Brilliant!

At first, you settled your conflicts with her.

Then you did things that she liked

to make her let her guard down.

Finally, you plotted to retrieve the Flower Spirit gradually.

What are you thinking about?

If you have any plans, tell me.

I'll help you.

Do you think this garden is a bit too small?

It might limit Gu Qingcheng's potential.

[Qingcheng Flower Nursery]

Today, we're going to launch

the first promotion event of the Qingcheng Flower Nursery.

As for all these leaflets with red tickets,

we need to try our best

to give them all out today.

Don't worry, Miss Gu.

Just leave

all of these

to us.

Thank you.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Little demons, it's time to go to the street and give out leaflets.

Okay.

Thank you, everyone.

Qingcheng Flower Nursery is now open!

Come and have a look.

Miss!

Please have a look.

I'm the boss.

As the boss, you also need to give them out.

This is your shop after all.

It's your duty.

Let me make this clear.

I won't give out leaflets to people on the street.

I'm not asking you to

give them out on the street.

[Qingcheng Flower Nursery, Opening Ceremony]

Miss.

Our Qingcheng Flower Nursery has just opened.

We have everything you need.

This flower I made by myself

is indeed very effective.

Master, you just need to stand here.

If there is a curious passersby,

just give him a leaflet

and ask him to go inside.

This flower is so ugly.

How can it match me?

It doesn't matter whether the flower is ugly or not.

You're handsome, and that's the key.

No way.

How can I, Lyu Gengyun,

do such a tasteless thing?

Both the Heavenly Realm and the Demonic Realm might mock me.

Well...

They won't mock you.

Can they do this?

You...

Alright.

Pay more attention to your own business.

It's Qingcheng Flower Nursery's opening day today!

Don't miss it as you pass by!

We have fresh flowers and fine wine here.

Look at this big flower of ours.

Isn't it lovely?

Look.

Can you see that ugly peony at the entrance?

She actually put you at the entrance

to attract customers and give out leaflets.

It's unbelievable.

What does she think you are?

I've told you that though this little girl

looks dumb,

actually, she has ulterior motives.

She's clearly trying to get back at you.

Just listen to my advice.

Get the Flower Spirit back.

Get it back.

Get it... I'm talking to you.

Your lack of response makes it seem like

I'm more concerned about it than you are.

Ye You.

Do me a favor.

That's more like it.

Retrieve the Flower Spirit as soon as possible

to avoid any future trouble.

This is the last flower shop in Pingcheng.

I hope they have it for sale.

A promotion on the opening day!

Don't miss it as you pass by, everyone!

Come and have a look!

Don't miss it!

It's Qingcheng Flower Nursery's opening ceremony.

Excuse me. Do you have purple balloon flowers?

Yes, we do.

Great! I've finally found them.

Please come in.

One hundred pieces?

Is there a problem?

No problem, no problem.

It's just that...

the color of purple balloon flowers is very rare,

so the price is a bit higher.

Well...

How do we calculate the deposit?

At least 50%.

50%?

-30%. -30%.

30%, 30%.

Is it okay for you to pay 30% as a deposit?

The price is not an issue.

But I came out in a hurry today

and didn't bring any money with me.

Can I pay the full amount when I collect the flowers tomorrow?

Well...

This has been our first big deal

since the opening of our shop.

We can't miss it.

The risk is too high.

There's no deposit.

We can't miss it.

Sir,

we can sense the integrity in your eyes,

and you look sincere and polite.

As we're having a promotion on our opening day today,

why don't we exempt you from the deposit?

What's your name, sir?

My surname is Bai.

Mr. Bai.

Well, thank you, Miss.

I'll come and collect them on time tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Okay.

Bye.

Take care, sir.

-One hundred pieces! -One hundred pieces!

Alright.

Let's stop giving out leaflets.

Come on! Follow me to the back garden.

Let's go select the flowers. Hurry!

Let's go!

I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you guys.

Just go ahead with your work.

Okay.

Thank you, Grandpa.

I want to eat braised pork today.

You're such a gourmet!

Everyone, look.

We have to choose

these half-bloomed ones.

In this way, when we deliver them to the customer tomorrow,

they'll look the best.

As for the ones with incomplete petals like these,

don't choose them.

This is our first order.

We have to establish a good reputation.

Okay.

But if we only choose half-bloomed ones,

I'm afraid we won't have enough for 100 pieces.

It's okay.

There are still some in Sun's Mansion.

I'll go fetch them tomorrow.

At 2 p.m. tomorrow,

remember to

pick these ones with which I've tied red strings.

Alright.

You're making such a big fuss

for this one order?

That's right.

Someone hasn't even made a single sale yet,

but he's making sarcastic remarks here.

Immortality cultivation is just like doing business.

Haste makes waste.

You don't understand.

That makes sense.

You understand.

Then why don't you make a sale

and show it to everyone?

Good things come to those who wait.

Just wait and see.

He's right.

You're not doing your job well, and your temper is even getting worse.

I'd like to see

how you're going to sell anything.

Look.

Hurry up! Pick that one now!

Stop flirting and get back to work.

That's right. Hurry up. Over here.

It's our first order.
