Episode 39

18

Make me another Soul Destroying Arrow.

19

I will then completely cure your Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms and give you back your freedom.

20

You can then go look for you Princess Biancheng and continue your past love.

21

Is that okay?

22

You don't believe me?

23

I have already transferred you my lifetime of cultivation.

24

Now that you have the Pure Glass Fire as a blessing, you must revive the glory of the Bird Tribe.

25

Help my son Xu Feng ascend to the heavenly emperor throne.

26

I understand.

27

I'm entrusting you Xu Feng and the Bird Tribe then.

28

Don't disappoint me.

29

Your Highness Night Deity employed such a wise move.

30

No matter how I play this game,

31

I will never win anymore.

32

Elder, you're admitting defeat then?

33

Even if I struggle

34

and able to last for a moment more, the result will not change.

35

I admit defeat.

36

Being able to play with a great player like you

37

is my honor.

38

What did you say? The food storage of the Bird Tribe is almost empty?

39

Since the Flower Realm cutoff our food supply last time,

40

the relationship between us and the Flower Realm has not been good.

41

Now, although the Flower Realm is continuously supplying us grains, the amount has not been the same as before.

42

There are no excess food to fill up the warehouses.

43

Why didn't you report such an important matter to me earlier?

44

Elder Yin Que seeks an audience!

45

- Let him in.

- Yes!

46

Leave first.

47

Yes.

48

Greetings, Tribe Chief.

49

Don't know if tribe chief has heard about

50

the recent food calamity and starvation incidents in our tribe?

51

What do you mean? As the head of the Bird Tribe,

52

of course, I know about important matters like that.

53

That's good.

54

I was worried that Tribe Chief was hanging around the Heavenly Realm all day

55

and have long forgotten us, your tribe members.

56

Since Tribe Chief already knew about this matter,

57

why then are you not doing anything?

58

The birds of our tribe are almost dying from hunger.

59

I will handle this matter.

60

In the past, the deposed Empress personally chose you to be the Tribe Chief

61

and helped you manage the affairs of the tribe.

62

This caused the Bird Tribe to flourish and prosper.

63

But now, the deposed Empress has lost her power.

64

We, the elders, are worried if you are still able to bear such an important duty

65

and ensure that the Bird Tribe is thoroughly taken care of.

66

Within 3 days, I will appropriately settle the food calamity.

67

I will prove that I got the position of the Tribe Chief based on my abilities.

68

I look forward to it then.

69

Wait. Don't you have any other thing to report?

70

May I ask what other thing you're referring to?

71

Of course, it's the matter of you going to the Demon Realm and meeting with Demon King.

72

For a small matter of meeting up with an old friend to reminisce, I still need to report it to you?

73

Tribe Chief, if you have such idle time, why don't you handle the food calamity first?

74

Xu Feng commands the Five Directions Heavenly Army

75

and controls the gates of the Heavenly Realm. He bears such important duty.

76

However, he has been acting perversely and being rebellious. I'm very worried.

77

I think that these duties should be temporarily transferred to you.

78

Sui He of Bird Tribe reports. The members of my Bird Tribe has always relied on the flower grains for food.

79

Although the Flower Realm has resumed supplying us food, the long years of supply cut off

80

has caused our food warehouses to slowly empty.

81

Now, the lives of the creatures in Bird Tribe is worrisome.

82

Hence, I earnestly ask the Heavenly Realm to open your food warehouse to give us relief,

83

so as to solve this urgent need of the Bird Tribe. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to decide on this.

84

Tribe Chief.

85

How did it go? Are there any news from Heavenly Realm?

86

None.

87

No, I must personally go to the Heavenly Realm and borrow some food supply from Heavenly Emperor.

88

But Elder Yin Que and the other elders

89

are all waiting for Tribe Chief in the main hall for a meeting.

90

It might be inappropriate for you to leave now.

91

Each of them are impatiently waiting for me to embarrass myself.

92

How can it be that easy?

93

Yin Que, let me first let you pay for going to the Demon Realm.

94

- The Tribe Chief is here!

- What should we do? Indeed.

95

The 3 days deadline has come. May I ask Tribe Chief if you have come up with any idea

96

to resolve the current food calamity?

97

I've already informed the Heavenly Realm about this, but they are refusing to release any food until now.

98

I fear that it has something to do with Elder Yin Que.

99

The Bird Tribe asked for food relief. The Heavenly Realm is refusing to lend us any.

100

What does that got to do with Elder Yin Que?

101

A few days ago, Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm to meet up with Demon King.

102

This matter has reached the ears of Heavenly Emperor, and he is very unhappy about it.

103

He felt that our Bird Tribe has developed intentions to revolt.

104

If not because I clarified with Heavenly Emperor that our tribe is sincerely loyal to them,

105

I fear that he might have sent an army already to suppress us.

106

This...

107

I never thought that going to the Demon Realm to reminisce with Demon King about old times

108

would lead to this kind of problem.

109

If Heavenly Emperor really refused to borrow us food because of that matter,

110

I'm willing to accompany Tribe Chief to make clarifications right in front of Heavenly Emperor,

111

so as to remove his doubts about our tribe, lend us food as soon as possible,

112

and solve this urgent crisis of our Bird Tribe.

113

What Elder Yin Que said is so correct. Why don't you and Elder Yin Que

114

go to the Heavenly Realm together and immediately resolve this problem?

115

Elder Yin Que, do you have any evidence to prove that you and Demon King are not colluding?

116

Since the Heavenly Realm didn't send an army,

117

it then represents that they have no evidence

118

to prove that I'm colluding with the Demon Realm.

119

Because you're unable to borrow us any food,

120

are you trying to make me the scapegoat?

121

For thousands of years, I bent myself to the task of governing the Bird Tribe and spared no effort

122

causing the tribe to continuously prosper.

123

Now that the Bird Tribe is in trouble, I've exhausted all effort.

124

But just because of Elder Yin Que's improper actions,

125

there is now animosity between us and the Heavenly Royal Family.

126

I want to ask Elder Yin Que then. Can the food supply of Bird Tribe

127

be borrowed from the Demon Realm?

128

Tribe Chief, Elder Yin Que,

129

there's no use for you two to keep arguing here.

130

The urgent thing to be done now is for you two to quickly go to Heavenly Realm and express our Bird Tribe's loyalty.

131

Immediately borrow us some food.

132

His Highness Night Deity is here!

133

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com

134

Greetings, Your Highness Night Deity.

135

Eldest Highness.

136

I think Your Highness Night Deity came today

137

not only to play chess with me, right?

138

I heard that elder has recently secretly meet up with Demon King. May I know what you two have discussed?

139

So, it's about this matter.

140

Demon King and I just reminisced on our past

141

and had some chats. We didn't discuss anything

142

It's impossible to know what you two really talked about,

143

but this matter has been reported to the Heavenly Court. It then can't be helped for some doubts

144

to develop from it.

145

If Heavenly Emperor really misunderstand anything, I fear that it won't be good for the Bird Tribe.

146

Heavenly Emperor ordered me to investigate this matter.

147

Elderly Yin Que, how do you think I should answer?

148

I am slow-witted. May I ask what you mean by that?

149

I know

150

that these past years, the Heavenly Realm has been controlling the Bird Tribe too much.

151

But when the Arowana Tribe got annihilated,

152

the deposed Empress has given the abundant lands of Taihu to your tribe.

153

For thousands of years, the Bird Tribe has flourished and prospered too

154

compared to the past. It should learn to be contented.

155

Your Highness Night Deity, what really is it that you want to say?

156

Just be direct with me. I never liked beating around the bush.

157

Since you don't like beating around the bush, I will be frank then.

158

I came today to ask you a favor.

159

I fear that a Bird Tribe elder like me who holds no power

160

can't be of any help.

161

If the Bird Tribe learns

162

that this top secret Bird Tribe Military Defense Layout

163

was leaked by you, you think

164

it's still possible for you to have a footing here in the Bird Tribe in the future?

165

Today, I'm here as a special envoy from the Heavenly Realm

166

and was ordered by Heavenly Emperor to deliver food supply here,

167

so as to resolve the starvation crisis of the Bird Tribe.

168

Thank you Your Highness for especially coming to deliver us food. Me and the rest of the tribe are very grateful.

169

There is another important matter that I came here to resolve today.

170

May I ask what other matters does Your Highness need to resolve? I am willing to help you.

171

Not long ago, Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm without permission

172

to meet up with Demon King.

173

I'm sure that everyone knows about it already, right?

174

Elder Yin Que secretly met with Demon King and is harboring evil intentions.

175

If Your Highness Night Deity wants to punish him, I surely will cooperate with you.

176

But the Bird Tribe has always been loyal to the Heavenly Realm, hope Your Highness won't doubt it.

177

Tribe Chief Sui He, you seem to be too anxious to sentence Elder Yin Que for committing a crime.

178

Princess Sui He once requested the Heavenly Realm to send out an army.

179

She wants us to send the Heavenly Army to Yimiao Region and bring order to the chaos,

180

but Heavenly Emperor didn't believe that the Bird Tribe will bear disloyal intentions.

181

He then ordered me to investigate this matter.

182

I came today to announce the result of the investigation.

183

Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm for purely private reasons.

184

Everyone, don't let this matter affect the relationship between us.

185

So, it wasn't the Heavenly Emperor who wants to suppress the Bird Tribe.

186

It was you who requested an army from Heavenly Emperor to deal with Yin Que.

187

I only made such a suggestion that day out of a moment of desperation.

188

Indeed. Good thing, it didn't lead to any major mistake.

189

But about the Bird Tribe's food warehouse being empty and causing starvation, you didn't do anything.

190

You are instead focused on trying to punish Elder Yin Que here.

191

Princess Sui He, don't you have the order reversed?

192

When did I disregard the food supply problem of the Bird Tribe?

193

Three days ago, I've already written a request to the Heavenly Court asking for some food relief.

194

The Heavenly Court never received any memorials from you.

195

How is that possible?

196

If not because Elder Yin Que personally went to Heavenly Court yesterday to inform us about this matter,

197

don't know when we will now about it.

198

Sui He, you are not qualified to be the chief of the Bird Tribe.

199

That's right. You're not suitable.

200

That's right! You'r not fit to be one!

201

Princess Sui He, just like what the different elders are saying,

202

to eliminate your opponents and suppress Elder Yin Que,

203

you have disregarded the welfare of your tribesmen.

204

This caused His Majesty Heavenly Emperor to be utterly disappointed in you.

205

His Majesty has already given the order for me to fully handle this matter.

206

But I feel that

207

I should consult with the different elders first before making a decision.

208

Eldest Highness currently is highly trusted by Heavenly Emperor.

209

We all don't doubt it.

210

How do you think we should handle this matter?

211

I think that Princess Sui He now

212

is not in the mood to govern the Bird Tribe.

213

Why not hand it to someone talented to assist her,

214

who will temporarily be in-charge of the tribe's affairs?

215

But this is just my suggestion.

216

The final decision will depend on you, the elders.

217

Elder Yin Que went to the Heavenly Realm to get us food relief.

218

He has made a huge contribution to the Bird Tribe. And, he has always cared for the Bird Tribe.

219

He surely will bring blessing to our tribe. I nominate him to temporarily handle the tribe's affairs.

220

We all agree to nominate Elder Yin Que

221

to temporarily manage the tribe's affairs.

222

Your Highness Night Deity, take care.

223

Elder Yin Que,

224

from now on, this Bird Tribe will be under your care.

225

I fully accept losing that game.

226

Since I now know your methods,

227

how can I dare have anymore rebellious intent?

228

That's good then.

229

I fear that the food warehouse of Bird Tribe will be left empty for 2 days.

230

Sui He will surely ask help from the Heavenly Realm because of this.

231

And her memorial will disappear without a trace.

232

At this time, I wish that elder can personally stand out to borrow food.

233

I will then use that as an opportunity to help you take over the power over the Bird Tribe.

234

Looks like I have no choice but to agree.

235

As long as you can lead the Bird Tribe to support me,

236

you will be your tribe's chief one day.

237

You can be at ease and do your thing.

238

Tribe Chief?

239

Who then will Eldest Highness be in the future?

240

Your Highness Night Deity employed such a wise move.

241

No matter how I play this game, I will never win anymore.

242

Yin Que, so you were not colluding with Demon King,

243

but with Run Yu.

244

Everything that I'm doing is for the future of Bird Tribe.

245

Unlike you, who's doing it for personal reasons.

246

Don't worry. I will assist you well

247

and handle all the affairs of the tribe with full power.

248

- Let's go.

- We finally were able to catch it.

- That's right.

- Look at this.

249

Let me tell you that this one needs 7 years of spiritual energy.

250

Mu Qi, no matter where you go, I surely will find you.

251

Hurry and run!

252

Is Mu Ci creating another Soul Destroying Arrow?

253

Is he going to hurt Jin Mi again?

254

Greetings, Princess Sui He.

255

Go to the Heavenly Realm right now and kill Run Yu for me.

256

Night Deity is the son of the Heavenly Emperor.

257

So what?

258

He ruined everything that I spent thousands of years of effort to create.

259

I must take his life!

260

Night Diety's spiritual powers are strong.

261

I've used up too much spiritual powers to create the Soul Destroying Arrow.

262

Even with the arrow,

263

I would not be able to defeat him.

264

I will go with you.

265

If stepmother learns how much you're missing her,

266

she would be glad.

267

Why have you come?

268

I heard that the authority of the Bird Tribe has been handed to Elder Yin Que.

269

I think all of this is connected to Your First Highness.

270

Looks like you've begun taking action.

271

I just wanted to fulfill Mother's wish.

272

But for the sake of this wish, stepmother

273

made a lot of mistakes.

274

What are you trying to say?

275

I just hope that Your First Highness won't follow in her footsteps.

276

You'll end up making too many mistakes and forgetting your initial intention.

277

On the path, mistakes can't be made.

278

If I take one wrong step, the entire game will collapse.

279

I can't afford to lose anymore.

280

But when you took up this path,

281

did you ever consider Jin Mi's feelings? She's innocent.

282

She doesn't deserve to be used and to be hurt by you.

283

Xuanji Palace

285

Xuanji Palace?

286

- It went into Xuanji Palace?

- Yes.

- Come with me to check it out.

287

Little Fish Immortal?

288

Little Fish Immortal?

289

Little Fish Immortal, are you here?

290

Fine then. Having one's life saved is a debt that's impossible to pay back.

291

I came especially to visit you today, but I didn't see you.

292

I'll leave this here.

293

Even if Run Yu isn't here,

294

you delivered yourself to me. This is great.

295

This is a rare opportunity. Use the Soul Destroying Arrow to kill her.

296

This woody hawksbeard tassel is a very nutritious herb.

297

It can help you recover your spiritual powers soon.

298

Hope this woody hawksbeard tassel can nurse your injury.

299

I hope it can be of help to you!

300

Let's be an ordinary couple in the mortal realm.

301

I already said that if you hurt Jin Mi again, you'll become my enemy.

302

Don't act against your conscience. I know you're not that kind of person.

303

Hurry and make your move.

304

Your Highness.

305

Jin Mi!

306

- Take care of Jin Mi.

- Yes!

307

Your Highness. Turns out you still care about me.

308

Jin Mi was just hurt by a fire spell.

309

Why did you do that?

310

What other reason could it be?

311

Your heart only has her, yet she went to deliver Night Deity some medicine. I couldn't contain my anger.

312

Mi'er.

313

- What happened?

- Somebody was trying to hurt Immortal Jin Mi just now.

314

Luckily, His Second Highness made it in time.

315

- Where is that person?

- He's chasing her down.

316

Hurry and help Xu Feng. I will protect Jin Mi.

317

Sounds good.

318

Mi'er.

319

Mi'er.

320

Little Fish Immortal.

321

What just happened?

322

I especially came to bring you supplements.

323

Just as I was about to leave, for some unknown reason,

324

I was knocked onto the floor.

325

Then, I can't remember what happened.

326

Did you save me, Little Fish Immortal?

327

I did not save you.

328

It was Xu Feng.

329

Since this incident happened in Xuanji Palace, was I the target?

330

But when you took up this path,

331

did you ever consider Jin Mi's feelings?

332

She's innocent.

333

She doesn't deserve to be used

334

and to be hurt by you.

335

It's all my fault.

336

I promise to you

337

that in the future, you won't receive any hurt.

338

Thank you, Little Fish Immortal. I'm fine now.

339

Your Highness, I had no intentions of hurting her.

340

It's all Qi Yuan's doing. He's the one who wanted to kill Jin Mi in the mortal realm.

341

I know. He's Princess Biancheng's friend.

342

I promised Liu Ying that I won't kill him.

343

But he's refused to mend his ways.

344

I'm sure he was trying to kill her again today. We cannot leave this person around.

345

Liu Ying said that he's a kind person. I trust her.

346

Thank you, Brother Phoenix.

347

Mu Ci.

348

Where's Jin Mi? Is she okay?

349

Jin Mi is fine. He isn't after Jin Mi.

350

Brother Phoenix, Mu Ci has been planted with the Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms.

351

It needs to be fed regularly.

352

I'm afraid somebody is manipulating Mu Ci with this.

353

He was forced to do all of this.

354

He had no other choice.

355

Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms?

356

This is a forbidden spell. Was my mother behind this?

357

Aunt had saved his life.

358

It was his own choice to work for Aunt.

359

Now, Aunt is still in jail,

360

but you all are trying to disconnect yourselves from her. What ungrateful people.

361

Sui He!

362

My mother is now imprisoned.

363

She has received her punishment.

364

I hope that you will not blame her anymore.

365

Brother Phoenix, if you are willing to forgive Mu Ci, I have no other requests.

366

My only request is to take Mu Ci back with me,

367

to never leave him again.

368

I am willing to pay for Mu Ci's sins.

369

From now on, no matter for what reason, if you dare hurt Jin Mi again,

370

I will not be lenient with you.

371

I will fulfill my promise in the mortal world that if you are in danger, I surely will save you.

372

But don't you test my patience.

373

I want to see Jin Mi.

374

Mi'er is already resting. She's fine.

375

I heard that it was you who helped her today. I'm thanking you in her behalf.

376

Did you catch the perpetrator?

377

It's Sui He having a fit and harmed Jin Mi.

378

Sui He?

379

This matter is quite grave. Why don't we inform Father Emperor immediately?

380

No need. Sui He...

381

Sui He did it because of me. I will resolve this matter with her.

382

Let me see her for even a bit!

383

Xu Feng, because of you

384

Heavenly Empress and Sui He successively attacked Jin Mi.

385

Will you only stop once she's dead?

386

I've already asked Kuang Lu to invite Water Deity to fetch Jin Mi. Please go back.

387

Xu Feng, I did so much for you.

388

Now, even my power got delegated to someone else.

389

I lost everything.

390

But your heart...still only have that Jin Mi.

391

Why?

392

Why?

393

Xu Feng...

394

Jin Mi...

395

Hope to have a discussion with Deity today

396

at zi hour (11 pm to 11 am) in your manor. It's about Jin Mi. Hope to see you.

397

Up to how long will you keep grabbing my hand?

398

Forever.

399

You're a distinguished princess of the Demon Realm. Why must you waste your time with a person like me?

400

Because you're worth it.

401

I...didn't hurt your friend.

402

Hence, I will not let you look down on me.

403

My Mu Ci has finally returned.

404

Where did you go these past days? Why did you create a Soul Destroying Arrow again?

405

I initially planned to kill Jin Mi in exchange for asking Heavenly Empress to cure my Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms.

406

But at the last moment,

407

I suddenly felt that...dying...

408

...is way better than seeing you get disappointed at me. I...

409

Don't worry. I surely will find a way to cure you.

410

Father.

411

Mi'er. Here, drink your medicine while it's hot.

412

Okay.

413

Eat some sugar cubes to remove the bitter taste.

414

Mi'er, you mustn't make me worry anymore.

415

You've gotten hurt in a span of just 2 to 3 days.

416

This Sui He is so similar with his Auntie.

417

We must report this matter to Heavenly Emperor.

418

Sui He loves Phoenix, so it's understandable for her to hate me.

419

Who then is the person that you love?

420

Honestly, I'm not sure.

421

My heart is always empty. I also don't know why.

422

Father, what do you think I should do?

423

I know that you're sensible. You're not willing to put me and everyone in a difficult position.

424

In the past, I once thought too

425

to make the right choice in your behalf.

426

But with everything that recently happened,

427

it made me remember your mother.

428

And remember all those past events.

429

I finally understood

430

why Zi Fen concealed your identity and hid you in the Water Mirror.

431

Now, you are indeed suffering because of love.

432

I won't marry anyone for a lifetime then and just stay by your side. This way, I won't have any problems.

433

Silly child.

434

Escaping won't do any good. Now that you're back by my side,

435

just be at ease and boldly choose.

436

No matter if it's Fire Deity or Night Deity, I support you,

437

as long as you can sincerely be blissful.

438

Thank you, Father.
