Ming Yi.

Ming Yi.

Ming Yi.

Do you still remember the name of this wine?

My Heart's Delight.

Then tell me,

when you gave me this jar of wine,

were you sincere,

or did you do it

to make me trust you more?

All right,

I know you were sincere.

At this moment, I am sincere.

♪Maybe I'm just your firefly...♪

Say my name.

Ji Bozai.

♪Cause and effect of love and hate surging♪

♪Would you be willing to stay for me?♪

Ji Bozai...

♪If your night is cold, with no warmth of the sun♪

♪Put my burning heart in your chest♪

♪Even in this restless world♪

♪My faint light♪

♪Will shine through for your brilliance♪

♪If your world was once an endless wasteland♪

♪I'd tear myself apart to fill the wounds inside you♪

♪Even if this life is like a shooting star...♪

Ji Bozai, I adore you.

♪In this fleeting life, I'll still be your light♪

Did you get the Golden Millet Dream?

What's wrong?

You couldn't bring yourself to ask for it, could you?

Before Fairy Bo Yulan passed away,

she made him swear

never to let the Golden Millet Dream appear in this world.

If he gives the elixir to me,

he'll be defying his master's dying wish.

Maybe he's willing

to defy it for you.

I'm the one who wants the Golden Millet Dream.

I'm the one who wants to live.

I can't force him to choose.

If someone must bear the sin, it'll be me.

But if you do this,

he'll surely hate you.

I know.

Then let him hate me.

Whoever does wrong

must bear the consequences themselves.

This golden millet dream is coming to an end after all.

Ming Yi, should we go in now?

I'll go with you.

Everything

is over now.

Lord Ji!

I made so much Golden Millet Dream.

Come on. Have a taste.

The Golden Millet Dream...

He turned the Golden Millet Dream

into the likeness of My Heart's Delight.

Ming Yi, you can't afford to...

Ming Yi.

Ming Yi!

Kill me if you must.

I have nothing to say.

But please, Immortal Ji,

spare Twenty-Seven.

Don't hurt him.

I beg you.

So,

you're just like everyone else.

You only wanted the Golden Millet Dream.

Yes.

From the very beginning,

you have been lying to me.

Yes.

All because of the Golden Millet Dream?

Yes.

Ming Yi,

you truly are heartless.

At this point, I have nothing to say for myself.

♪I drift across the boundless skies♪

♪Through deserts where no one goes♪

♪Seeking myself♪

♪The self I long to find♪

♪Lost in a maze of lies♪

♪I break into your sea of clouds...♪

The Golden Millet Dream!

♪It redeems me...♪

Get out.

Don't ever

show yourselves before me again.

♪Or is it the burning flame...♪

Thank you, Immortal Ji.

♪You are the mark engraved upon my heart...♪

Ji Bozai!

♪What I cannot forget is that fleeting gaze♪

♪What I cannot escape is passion born in chaos♪

♪How I long to hold you again...♪

Ji Bozai!

♪Our love, high among the clouds♪

♪Is sealed with that kiss♪

You're awake.

Finally!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please don't go.

Please don't go.

We don't know how this battle with Mu Qibai will end,

but I will keep you safe.

However,

think carefully.

If I survive,

you'll be stuck with me forever.

♪Our love, high among the clouds♪

♪You are the mark engraved upon my heart♪

♪From then on all my memories tremble for you...♪

When you gave me this jar of wine,

were you sincere,

or did you do it

to make me trust you more?

At this moment, I am sincere.

♪What I cannot let go of is the one I truly love♪

♪How I long to hold you again♪

♪How I long to hold you again♪

♪Our love, high among the clouds♪

Ming Yi.

Oh, no...

Why?

Why did you use your spiritual veins to save me

when you knew it would come to this?

Heaven and earth, bear witness. Bound by our spiritpact,

I grant you peace

with my divine consciousness.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven, what are you doing?

Stop.

Twenty-Seven!

Twenty-Seven!

What are you doing?

Twenty-Seven.

The spell is already taking effect.

It's too late to stop it now.

- Ming Yi! - Twenty-Seven!

Twenty-Seven!

I must...

Twenty-Seven.

...save your life today.

Please stop, Twenty-Seven.

Listen to me.

Don't trade your life for mine!

Please, Twenty-Seven.

Listen to me.

You'll only

make me live a few more days.

It's meaningless, Twenty-Seven!

Please stop, Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

This is pointless, Twenty-Seven.

Please, Twenty-Seven,

stop.

Don't sacrifice yourself to save me.

Please.

I'll only

live a few more days.

It's meaningless.

Please stop, Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

I'm so sorry.

Ming Yi,

do you remember

what you were like when you first won the Qingyun Tournament?

You were incredible back then,

- invincible across all Six Realms. - Stop it.

It's my fault.

I dragged you into this,

Twenty-Seven.

Ming Yi,

if only I could see you

- live a good life with my own eyes. - Twenty-Seven.

Don't go.

Ming Yi,

don't cry.

If you ever miss me,

bring me some dried fish.

But remember, I don't eat spicy ones.

Twenty-Seven, I can't live without you.

- Let me take you home. - Ming Yi,

it's all right.

I'm so sorry.

Twenty-Seven.

Let's go home.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven,

come back!

Come back.

Twenty-Seven.

Let's go home.

Let's go back to Yaoguang Mountain.

Please, come back.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

I can't live without you.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Twenty-Seven, I'm so sorry.

Ming Yi, I won't let you die.

[Zhang Tai's residence]

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Seven.

Immortal Situ,

what happened to Ming Yi?

Ming Yi.

Twenty-Seven.

Ming Yi,

don't be afraid.

I will find a way to save you.

I was wrong.

The Messenger Bell.

I'll take you home.

Ming Yi's Messenger Bell.

Twenty-Seven.

Here.

I was wrong.

"To Master She, with respect..."

I was wrong.

Twenty-Seven, come back.

Come back.

Ming Yi.

Twenty-Seven.

His Lordship still refused to eat.

I know a way to make His Lordship forget Ming Yi!

Your Lordship,

this scroll that Ming Yi gave you

was indeed altered by a Yaoguang spell,

but I don't have the skill

to restore the original text.

"Yaoguang Mountain, Zhushui Spiritual State, and Flowing Wave Gorge,

the entire Upper Third Realm was part of that.

Lord Hanfeng kept a list of names

to control them."

Your Lordship,

she's from Yaoguang Mountain.

At the end of the day, she's on their side.

Before Fairy Bo died, she made you promise

never to let

the Golden Millet Dream appear in the world.

It seems she foresaw

how far human greed would go

for the medicine.

It can't be helped.

Be it Mu Qibai

or those from Yaoguang Mountain who took part,

none of them was the true culprit.

The Emperor of Zhushui

was the first to strike at the Bo clan,

and he's been secretly controlling Mu Qibai ever since.

I must not let the tragedy

that befell my master and the innocent

happen again.

Your Lordship, if you intend to go after the Emperor of Zhushui,

I'll be right by your side.

But...

your health matters most.

Please, have something to eat first.

Master She,

that's what happened.

I've told you everything about my past with Ming Yi.

You can trust me.

Silly child,

how could you use your spiritual veins like that?

Master She, I heard you once fought as a warrior

and later became a physician.

You must understand Ming Yi's condition better than anyone.

Ming Yi once suspected

that Zhushui Spiritual State's Soul-seizing Technique

might suppress the Heavenly Grief.

I searched the old texts and found

that it wasn't the technique alone that restrained the aftereffects.

When those of Zhushui Spiritual State

used the technique,

they channeled their spiritual power directly into her spiritual veins.

That was what suppressed Heavenly Grief's aftereffects.

But only

people from Zhushui Spiritual State know this method.

Very well.

I'll storm the Zhushui Palace,

catch a few men there,

and force them to cast the spell to save her.

So all it takes is to inject spiritual power

into her spiritual veins using Zhushui's secret art?

Yes.

[A cloud of pear blossoms and a forlorn dream]

Who are you, really?

Tell me, who are you?

Master.

Ming Yi.

Ming Yi.

Ming Yi.

Master.

How do you feel?

Immortal Situ would never harm me. Don't hurt him.

Do you know

he is from Zhushui Spiritual State?

You didn't tell me the truth?

No.

But if you'd cared about me a little more,

you would've remembered

which realm's robe I wore

the day we first met.

You never asked me,

so I supposed

my background

didn't matter to you.

Ming Yi,

you really don't remember.

Otherwise, you would've known

that I wore a robe

common across the Six Realms that day.

I guessed right.

Why did you

come to Jixing Abyss?

The Golden Millet Dream.

The Golden Millet Dream?

In Zhushui Spiritual State, might makes right.

Without spiritual veins,

I could only

live like a servant there.

So I escaped to seek the Golden Millet Dream.

That is all.

But Ming Yi,

after we met again,

I gave up any thought

of taking the Golden Millet Dream for myself.

I'll go to Ji Bozai now

and bring the Golden Millet Dream to you.

Don't go!

You must not go.

Don't go.

- Ming Yi. - Ming Yi.

Ming Yi.

Don't go to him.

Even now, you're still

acting in his interest?

The Golden Millet Dream is the only cure for you.

If he refuses to give it,

I will kill him and take it!

Ji Bozai doesn't have the Golden Millet Dream.

He spread false news

to lure

those who covet it.

He never had the antidote.

He doesn't have it?

Then what should we do?

What else can I do?

How can I save you?

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

I came to report on the recovery

of those injured in the battle with the netherbeasts.

Everyone within the Jixing Palace has recovered.

The prescriptions

sent to Huansha Market for the common folk have also taken effect.

The warriors at Shouhua Academy

are nearly all healed

and can resume training tomorrow.

Is there anything else?

No, Your Highness.

I'll take my leave.

Yan Xiao.

You're always like this.

You feared my father would be in danger,

so you chose to lie to me.

You feared my uncle would harm me,

so you allied with Ji Bozai while keeping me in the dark.

You always do what you think is best for me,

but you've never once asked me

if that's what I truly want.

I just...

I just wanted to protect you.

Protect me?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, why are you crying?

Did someone hurt you?

Tell me.

I'll go teach them a lesson.

Jixing Abyss lost at the Qingyun Tournament again.

Once again, we get no Blessed Rain.

Look,

my Blessing Flowers are withering.

Back when the Empress was alive,

she planted these with the Emperor.

I promise I'll heal them for you.

Xiao!

The Blessing Flowers have bloomed!

How did you do it?

Without the Blessed Rain's nourishment,

how could they bloom?

The ways of healing are universal.

Curing plants isn't much different from curing people.

But

isn't it difficult

to make them bloom without the Blessed Rain?

No,

not at all.

This isn't protection.

It's just you doing what you think is right.

Just like this.

Blessing Flowers wither

after the Prayer Night

and bloom again the following year.

But this pot, the one my mother left me,

has bloomed all year round.

I once thought

you'd found some special herb or artifact to sustain it.

Only today did I find out

you'd been feeding it with your own blood.

Your Highness, you're back.

It's the only thing the Empress left you.

I didn't want you to feel sad watching the flowers wither.

But if this is the price,

do you really think I'd still want that?

I'm sorry.

I never once asked you.

All these years...

♪Then my heart begins to race...♪

I've only thought about what I believed was right.

I'm such a coward.

Tianji,

I'm sorry.

I've owed you

an apology for a long time.

♪Unforgettable love turned out to be a spell♪

♪That made me lose myself♪

♪Never had I pondered the meaning of love♪

♪I would rather shed my armor and forget my freedom♪

Does it hurt?

No,

not at all.

♪Unforgettable love turned out to be a spell♪

♪That made me lose myself...♪

From now on,

no matter what happens,

don't hide anything from me again.

I've grown up now.

Let's face everything together.

All right.
