[Shadow Love]

[Episode 28]

I'm late.

I'm sorry.

Knowing you're safe

puts my mind at ease.

When did you get here?

Did I lose control again?

Did I hurt you?

No.

Really, you didn't.

You can't stay here.

Why not?

You just can't stay here.

Once the Jade Linglong is removed, I'll forget you anyway.

Maybe it's better

to put an end to everything now.

Then have you considered

whether I can forget you,

whether I can let go of everything about you?

You must let go no matter what.

Then why did you carve these murals?

You still can't forget me.

I said you can't stay here!

What if I lose control and hurt you again?

What if I kill you?

Engrave this pain in your mind.

Even though our blood pact

will disappear after the Jade Linglong is removed,

this mark

will remain on your body forever.

This is our new bond.

Jin'an,

if we're really

running out of time,

it's exactly why we should cherish every minute.

I once told you

that no matter what befalls us,

I will always stay by your side.

You'll be

my one

and only love for my entire life.

Witnessed by heaven and earth,

I, Li Shuang,

will marry Jin'an

till death do us part,

with unwavering faith.

Witnessed by heaven and earth,

I, Jin'an,

will marry Li Shuang

with unison of spirit and will

and never fail her.

Senior, let me help you.

M-Miss Lu.

What you learned down the mountain

probably won't

be of much help here.

So

don't mess around.

I...

Senior.

Miss,

come with me.

He's

blunt

and terrible with words.

Miss,

please don't take it personally.

However,

since you're pregnant now,

you really shouldn't overexert yourself.

Besides,

the abundant medicinal herbs here

aren't good for your baby.

We don't want to cause trouble

for the Master.

Stop talking nonsense!

What?

Come with me.

Watch out. My belly.

How many people have you told this to?

You're destroying my lifelong spotless reputation!

When I first arrived at the mountain,

I said it once at the entrance.

Who knew it would be so widely spread?

I really didn't expect

that people at Wuling Mountain

would be

even worse gossips than I am.

All you do is blame me!

You're awake.

What are you doing?

I'm making breakfast for you.

Making breakfast for me?

I've noticed

that among ordinary married couples,

wives always get up early

to prepare food for their husbands.

I'm not really good at cooking.

So I'm just

following their example to give it a try.

Who says women must cook

and serve their husbands?

As busy as you are,

you can always

let me share these chores.

Am I dreaming?

It couldn't be more real.

The Wuling Mountain

is tranquil and peaceful

with picturesque scenery.

It'd be nice if we could

settle down here.

No need to rush into a decision now.

We

can wander around first.

And then,

once the Jade Linglong is taken out,

we can leave everything behind.

And

in this vast world,

we'll surely find our own secluded paradise.

I know

you have the Li family

and the Changfeng Army to take care of.

So

you can't shrug off

these responsibilities and leave easily.

If you want,

we can go back to Lucheng.

Lucheng holds many of our memories, too.

Back to Lucheng.

Be it

a secluded paradise

or

a bustling ordinary place,

wherever you are

is where I belong.

I'm dying of thirst.

You were sneaking around outside the clinic earlier.

What exactly are you up to?

Jin'an already has Shuang looking after him,

and my mission here is complete.

I'm a physician.

At this revered place of medicine,

of course I hope

to learn more skills before I return.

Then I advise you not to waste your time.

The secret medical methods of our Wuling Mountain are

never shared with outsiders.

Why?

All physicians in the world are like one family.

If I master your skills,

I can help more people down the mountain

and continue being Lucheng's No.1 Physician.

At worst, I'll put up with it,

kneel before you,

kowtow three times,

and call you my master.

Are you thirsty, Master?

Have some water.

What do you think this place is?

A martial arts school

or a pharmacy?

At Wuling Mountain, we have strict conditions for accepting disciples.

Either

you're destined to be here,

or

you must exchange what you treasure most for it.

Only by letting go of everything

can you focus on training with a clear mind.

What I treasure most?

I can't give it away.

No way.

Fine.

Take it.

You're returning to me

the thing I gave you?

You should consider changing your career.

No one's as scheming

as you are.

I just told you I couldn't give it away.

But

this is indeed what I treasure most.

You've said it yourself

that ordinary people love fortune.

In our place,

you can't get far without money.

Here, take it.

Seeing money as treasure

is utterly shallow.

In my opinion,

you're completely incompatible with Wuling Mountain.

Watch out!

Are you alright?

Help them!

Hurry!

Put out the fire!

Stay here.

No, I won't.

I'll go with you!

Quickly,

take them to the clinic.

Hurry!

Hang in there.

Let's treat the injured first.

Get up slowly.

Help me up.

Master!

It's all my fault.

I put two batches of incompatible medicinal pills

into the furnace at the same time.

Let's talk about it later.

Saving lives comes first.

Watch out!

The acupoint-sealing needle?

Oh, no!

Hurry!

It was a diversion.

Lu Xin,

help me look after the injured.

Be careful!

What a lovey-dovey couple you two make.

I'm almost moved to tears.

Master,

you can leave them

to us.

For those who trespass on Wuling Mountain,

show no mercy.

Stop him!

Kill them!

When love is at its peak,

it's nothing more than a wish to live and die together.

As a shadow puppet, you really keep surprising me.

When you serve your next master,

you will surely reach perfection.

If you were really capable of dealing with me,

why would you risk your life

coming all the way to Wuling Mountain to seek death?

I'm seeking death?

You've already drunk the Kongqing Water.

How could you possibly kill me now?

You've harmed so many people.

Today

you'll pay with your life!

Jin'an!

Jin'an!

You had a narrow escape last time.

How dare you set foot on Wuling Mountain again?

My dear sworn brother,

since you know how much effort I've put into this shadow puppet,

you really shouldn't have been so soft-hearted to let him survive.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't get what I want.

You killed your father, betrayed your master,

and harmed the innocent.

Your crimes are unforgivable!

As the Master of Wuling Mountain,

today

I will purge the traitor!

Brain-Devouring Powder?

How did you get poisoned by this?

Shut up!

If you hadn't

kicked me out like scum back then,

how would I have ended up like this?

I'll kill everyone on Wuling Mountain!

An eye for an eye!

Jin'an!

Shuang.

Impossible.

How could the Jade Linglong...

Surprised?

Jade Linglong, the sacred relic you've been protecting,

is an evil artifact in and of itself!

I practice forbidden techniques.

Only I

can successfully extract the Jade Linglong!

This is what you get

for treating me unfairly!

Are you alright?

Good!

Then I'll kill you all...

I'll kill everyone who has wronged me!

Lu Xin!

Qianji Needle!

How are you feeling?

Shuang.

I'll help you suppress the poison first.

It's too late.

K-Kill me.

Godfather,

I have retrieved the Jade Linglong

and avenged your death at last.

Since it brought you pain to let go,

why didn't you give him a proper burial?

At least you'd have a place to remember him.

It's been the custom of Wuling Mountain

since ancient times.

That's the freedom

people should enjoy.

My godfather was buried

because his death was suspicious,

with justice unserved.

Now that I've avenged my godfather's death,

I should let him return to nature,

free from all constraints.

Jin Wujian and I

may have been sworn brothers,

but he committed too many evil deeds.

He got what he deserved.

Don't let yourself sink too deep into sorrow.

I'm not like you all,

people of the martial world

who punish the wicked

and see killing as no big deal.

In my eyes,

even the evilest person

is still a life.

Then why did you

still take action?

You said the other day

that to be a disciple of Wuling Mountain,

one must give up what they cherish most.

My parents died.

My clinic burned down.

And even Nanxing is gone.

I'm all alone.

I thought I had nothing left to lose.

That moment

when I saw your lives in danger,

hanging by a thread,

I finally realized

that what I cherish most are my friends.

Even if it costs me my life,

I absolutely cannot lose them.

Jin'an.

Jin'an!

I'm here.

I'm here.

You were ready

to risk your life for me again?

We're alive.

From today on,

nothing will ever separate us again.

What happened recently

feels like

a long, bizarre dream.

But thankfully,

the dream is over,

and you're still by my side.

Without the Jade Linglong,

I've lost all my power

and can no longer protect you like before.

Will you be disappointed in me?

As a great general,

why would I need someone else's protection?

When I first fell for you,

you were the fragile one.

Since you, my dear wife, are so mighty,

I'll stick with you

for protection from now on.

When we return to Lucheng,

we'll

build a house

and clear some land.

You'll farm,

hunt,

fetch water,

and water the garden.

Dream on!

If I do all the work,

what about you?

I'll cook, of course.

Otherwise, your "outstanding" cooking

will make us starve to death.

Are you making fun of me?

You're taking advantage of my lack of strength.

You're teasing me!

Hold on.

That day, a hairpin fell from me.

I have no idea

when I had it on me.

But you know,

this Wuling Mountain

is awash with rare treasures.

I probably thought it was pretty

and decided

to keep it for you.

Let me put it on you.

Don't take it off.

This is the first time I've given someone a gift.

Thanks for indulging me.

Is this hairpin a bit plain?

It's fine.

You make it beautiful.

Have I

forgotten something?

No.

I also think it's a bit plain,

but I love it.

Mo Yin said

that after the Jade Linglong was removed,

Jin'an's supernatural strength

disappeared.

His body

will return to normal.

But he will gradually forget his previous memories.

I'm most worried about you now.

Though you're reunited,

Jin'an will forget

everything about you.

Sometimes I think

forgetting isn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least

before he completely forgets me,

we still have moments of happiness and peace.

You two are leaving everything behind.

Did Su Muyang say anything about this?

Will he make things difficult for you?

What if

he holds the Li family hostage

and makes some outrageous demands?

What will you do then?

Wait a minute.

As adamant as he was,

why would he easily let you come to Wuling Mountain?

Did you already promise him something?

Are you crazy?

Are you going to give up on your life just like this?

It's worth it.

If you do this,

Jin'an will be hurt the most.

From what I know of him,

he would rather die a thousand times

than let you sacrifice yourself.

I've thought it over.

After we return,

I'll find a place

to settle him down.

Once we're back in Yunjing,

he'll probably

forget about me soon

and start a new life.

The time he spent with me

was filled with suffering.

I want him

to lead a happy life in the future.

Where have you been?

Let me show you something.

I found this on the mountain.

When I saw it the other day,

it was almost withered.

So I watered it.

Surprisingly,

it revived

and even bloomed!

I want

to plant it in the courtyard

as a symbol of our new beginning here.

I know

that without the Jade Linglong,

I'll gradually forget many things.

But

we still have plenty of time

to create new memories together.

Just like this flower.

It withered

but also found a new life.

But we're about to leave Wuling Mountain.

No one

can attend to these flowers then.

Then let's take it back to Lucheng.

And every time we do something together,

we'll plant a new flower

until the hills and fields

abound with them and our memories.

How's it?

Okay.

What's wrong?

I just feel

that we've been through a lot

along our journey.

I only want to cherish the present.

Let's live every single day

left for us to the fullest.

Okay.
