(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 39)

Li,

don't you think we're out of sync?

Not at all.

We're totally in sync, just like Yin and Yang.

That's not true.

Look at you. You don't possess the gentle attributes of Yin at all.

What I meant was

that you're Yin and I'm Yang.

We're totally in sync.

I guess such a combination

is pretty good as well.

I'm sure the Spiritual Realm is looking for you again.

Is this Lord Bi Cang's and Divine Lord Xing Zhi's home?

I'm a servant of Jin Niang Zi of the Northern Snowy Peak.

Jin Niang Zi?

Didn't she

fall for a mortal cultivator?

She was troubled over her relationship for many years.

Now, she's free enough to send her servant to look for us, huh?

Greetings, Your Highness.

I'm here to deliver an invitation to you guys on my mistress's behalf.

Invitation?

Is she going to hold a birthday banquet?

I'm sure it's a huge one, given her age.

A wedding?

That's right.

Is her husband the rumored cultivator?

Next month?

That's quite sudden.

Our mistress also instructed me

to tell you and Divine Lord

to bring the stars of Sky's Beyond with you.

It was long overdue.

Your Highness, Divine Lord, farewell.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sky's Beyond has shattered.

Where can we get the stars for her?

Just give him a random piece of rock.

I don't think that's appropriate.

She's getting married after all.

It's a rare event that only occurs in tens of thousands of years.

Shen Li,

let me ask you something.

Do you know what the stars of Sky's Beyond look like

when you hold it in your hand?

- I don't. - That's it.

Just get her a random piece of rock

and tell her that it's a star from Sky's Beyond.

She can't make any comparisons anyway.

She'll definitely be happy if we give her something like that.

Making her happy isn't the issue here.

Won't you have a guilty conscience for doing so?

Will I?

Won't you?

Forget it. Just forget what I said.

But can you withstand the Snowy Peak's climate in your current condition?

Although I have much lesser godly power now,

I still have the body of an Ancient God.

You should know that my body is fine now.

Even so, you can't ride the clouds as fast.

We have to depart soon.

It's been so long since I met Jin Niang Zi. I do miss her.

But,

she's holding a wedding?

Won't you feel like

the Jin Niang Zi we remember

has nothing to do with that term at all?

She should be

a carefree woman who's always unaffected by this worldly world.

How could she relate herself to such a worldly event?

What if you look at it from another perspective?

Abandoning her original life,

accepting the presence of another person in her life,

even changing the way she lives,

that requires a huge amount of courage.

Didn't you say that your body was fine?

Why would I wear this many layers if that was true?

Do you think I'm joking around?

My goodness. Don't you know what to do when you see me shivering like this?

You're so dense.

I can't walk properly like this.

I don't care. You have to carry me.

Li, I'm so cold.

Is it that cold?

It's cold.

So cold.

Li!

- Niang Zi. - Li.

You're finally here.

It's been so many years.

You're making me envious right away.

I feel so cold all of a sudden.

Fine. It's my fault.

I'm just impatient to see her.

Why do you feel so weak now?

Maybe I was too busy lately. It's nothing to worry about.

But Divine Lord does seem like a shadow of his former self.

It's cold out here. Let's not remain here.

- I'll bring you guys inside. - Hurry up!

Li, you didn't visit me for such a long time.

I missed you so much.

Aren't we here to visit you now?

You should stay here for a few more days.

Jin Niang Zi, what do you think about my treasure?

I'm not doing any trades today.

Don't stare at me like that.

I'm going to get married soon.

My husband will get jealous, you know?

Jin Niang Zi, are you truly going to get married?

I've been here to do trades with you for the past three days.

But I've never seen your husband at all.

Yeah.

Could it be that he doesn't care for his wife at all?

Naturally, I hid him away.

I can't afford to let fools like you witness his brilliance.

I'm receiving my guests today. I'm not doing any trades today.

You guys should leave.

But...

It's all your fault. Why did you say that?

Did you abduct the man?

I came here for nothing.

Let's go.

I just gave him a little push.

He and his sect members were injured.

I promised to rescue them.

In return, I want him to marry me.

This doesn't count

as abduction.

And,

I think he likes me too.

(On my way here, I heard that the guy didn't budge at all)

(even though Jin Niang Zi courted him for over a decade.)

(I assume he's very stubborn and prideful.)

(And now, he's coerced into marrying her.)

(I wonder if Jin Niang Zi's hunch)

(is correct.)

That should be the case.

I'm sure he likes you.

If not, he wouldn't agree to marry you.

Just forget about everything else.

In my opinion, you should make it so that what's done is done.

Don't waste your time here.

Divine Lord, you do have a point.

You can have the 1,000-Year Snow Fox Fur Coat.

It's much better than that coat of yours.

- I won't stand on ceremony, then. - Go ahead.

Your room is ready.

- Come. I'll tell you what happened. - Madam.

- What's wrong? - Mr. Ge is coughing again.

Wait for me in your room.

How did you know that the guy was in love with Jin Niang Zi?

I didn't.

Whether he fancies her or not

has nothing to do with me.

I'm saying it so that she can pester that man instead of you.

You're mine.

- Here, put it on. - You're selfish.

You're so thick-skinned!

Zi Chun, get up.

Are you unwell?

(Mu Zi Chun)

Dear, are you caring for me now?

I'm delighted.

Stop imagining things.

Before this, you told me

that you chased my sect members away because they were cured.

Will they go through

what I'm going through right now?

Zi Chun.

I'm used to being alone.

I never wasted my breath trying to explain myself,

not to mention lying to people.

But you're the only exception.

The injuries your sect members had sustained

might be troublesome to deal with for mortals,

but to me, it's a piece of cake.

Since I said they were cured,

I would never lie to you.

That's all I have to say.

Dear, if you don't trust me,

I can't do anything about it either.

It's bad for your health if you stay indoors all the time.

The weather is fine today.

You should take a walk outside after some rest.

Madam, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Guests are visiting us today.

Madam even received them personally.

She actually regarded them that highly?

This is quite rare.

I was lucky enough to take a glance from afar.

That man looked dashing and romantic.

He's 100 times better than the guy trapped in our courtyard.

He has such an elegant air around him.

I even heard that he's close to Madam.

Is that so?

Seems like that guy made Madam unhappy again.

He's doing this constantly.

No matter how patient Madam is, she'll run out of patience eventually.

And now, we have a dashing guy at our doorstep.

Say, do you think this wedding will be held successfully?

You and I can never guess what Madam is thinking.

Back then, after I dealt with my sinister aura,

I saved him because I was soft-hearted.

After I saved him,

I actually fell for that darned guy.

Put the tripe in.

So, you saved him.

If so, logically speaking,

he should fall for you instead.

- Why is it the other way around? - That's right.

Don't you think so?

He should be the one falling for me first.

That's what I thought back then.

But this guy is a blockhead.

You're just obsessed with him.

You might not like him necessarily.

Is that so?

Actually, I don't know either.

At first, I just wanted to tease him.

But the more he refused me,

the more I refused to give up.

It's been 20 years since then.

Now,

I don't know if I like him or if I'm obsessed with him.

Let's forget about everything else.

It's been 20 years, you know?

Even if he's a piece of rock, he should open up to me by now.

But this guy, he's a block of ice.

I can't melt his heart even if I have Samadhi True Fire.

I only managed to use his weakness against him.

His sect was in trouble.

That's how I was able to coerce him into marrying me.

Li, I feel so upset.

The tripe is done. You should eat it before it gets tough.

Does he fancy anyone?

Or does he have any bitter reasons why he can't be with you?

Has he ever told you about that?

He never did?

Do you think everyone is like Divine Lord Xing Zhi

who has a heavy burden on his shoulders and cannot fall for people?

She's right.

Not everyone is as tolerant as me.

You've been getting more and more thick-skinned

for the past few years.

You flatter me.

Mu Zi Chun,

he was influenced by the rigid teaching of the mortal cultivators.

He insisted on telling me that monsters and mortals are different.

He refused to believe that I was only interested in him.

When I forced him to marry me,

he said this in a serious tone:

"What exactly do you want from me?"

I won.

What...

This can't be true.

Come.

You know? He actually asked me that!

Didn't he see all the treasure I had?

He's just a mortal.

How dare he ask me such a condescending question?

But back then, I wasn't even angry at him.

I told him directly

that I wanted him.

Wasn't it sweet?

But he? He said this in a serious tone:

"You and your nonsense."

Just listen to him. Just listen to what he said.

He turned around and left after saying that.

I was heartbroken back then.

If so, why didn't you take his dull acts

as him

showing his shy side to you?

I've made contact with plenty of immortals.

Immortals like him

who came from a mortal background,

are mostly dull and uninteresting.

Their desires are usually deeply repressed.

Maybe he escaped from you

because he thought that he had no way of teasing you back

after you teased him.

So, in your opinion, what do you think he's thinking?

Since he doesn't have anyone he fancies,

and he doesn't detest you,

that means he can't let go of his obsession with his sect.

If that's the case, why don't we test him?

How?

He didn't budge even though you were beside him for over 20 years.

That means he's used to accepting your kindness.

If so, we should just take back everything we gave him.

We'll make him lose everything.

You should think about the things you've given him all these years.

We'll take them back one at a time.

(Actually, he's not trying to help Jin Niang Zi here.)

(He's just doing this because it's fun.)

(He's devious.)

Sorry about this.

I won again.

You must be a scammer.

Did you hide some tiles under the table?

- Let me see. - How come you never lost a match yet?

She won again.

I feel like I didn't give him anything.

But I also feel like

I've given him everything I have.

If so, you should stop offering yourself to him.

You should fall for someone else for the time being.

Who?

I guess it has to be me.

No.

I'll do it.

What are you looking at?

You're mine.

Jin Niang Zi.

You may fall for me for the time being.

What time is it?

I haven't checked on Zi Chun yet.

Do you visit him every night?

He's injured.

Will he die from it?

No.

If so, you shouldn't go.

Don't forget about what we said just now.

From today onward, we'll take back everything.

We'll make him lose everything.

Not visiting him tonight

will be our first minor success.

Here.

All right.

I'm actually sacrificing my wife

just to teach her husband a lesson.

What a terrible bargain.

You were obviously just teasing her.

How could I just stand idly by?

I have to join in the fun.

What should we do?

Our upright Lord Bi Cang has been led astray.

I've been led astray ever since our first encounter.

Will this truly work?

Naturally.

The feeling of losing someone

is deeply imprinted in my soul. I know it better than anyone else,

don't you think?

(Last night was peaceful, which was quite rare.)

(She kept pestering me)

(ever since she brought me here.)

(But now that it's peaceful, )

(I actually feel like I'm not used to the quietness.)

(It feels as if my heart is empty.)

(The guests she received last night, )

(were they her old friends?)

(What's her connection with them?)

(Who exactly are they?)

Niang Zi,

the red plum blossoms look gorgeous.

Why haven't I witnessed such a view the last time I was here? What a shame.

Li, if you like it, you may stay here for a long time. What do you think?

Sure.

Zi Chun.

This is?

This is Mu Zi Chun, my groom-to-be.

Zi Chun, this is Li.

(What's his relationship)

(with Jin Niang Zi?)

Jin Niang Zi,

did you hate me

for leaving you back then?

It's been many years since we met,

yet you're getting married now that we've met again.

Do you feel

the pain inside me?

Do you feel the tremble?

Li, what are you saying?

Zi Chun is here, you know?

(If I was unsure back then, )

(I'm sure about it now that I've seen his expression.)

(I can focus on my act now.)

It's fine if you guys

truly love each other.

But I heard from other people

that this person

doesn't like you at all.

You don't need to force the issue here.

Whether or not she's forcing the issue has nothing to do with you.

Mister, I think you crossed the line.

Is that so?

If that's the case,

may I assume that the rumors I heard from the servants

were untrue?

In reality,

you do care about Jin Niang Zi, don't you?

- That's none of your business. - Of course it's my business.

She's the woman I love.

I won't allow anyone

to break her heart.

If you don't love her sincerely,

please pardon me for what I'm going to do.

I'll take her away from you

even if it means I have to steal her away.

If so, where did you go all these years?

You can do whatever you want.

Right now,

I'm just a prisoner anyway.

Don't leave.

Li,

let's just forget it.

This is making me awkward.

Is that so?

But I think it's pretty effective.

Niang Zi,

why don't we make a bet?

What's the bet about?

I'll make sure Mu Zi Chun surrenders himself to you before your wedding.

Do you believe me?

I couldn't make him surrender himself even after 20 years.

But if I do have to make this bet,

I hope

that I'll lose the bet.

You'll definitely

get the result you wish for.

However,

if you do lose the bet,

what kind of treasures will you offer to Shen Li?

Why did you transform into the red plum blossoms?

That's the only way I can enjoy this show.

Divine Lord, you don't miss out on anything as usual.

Now that I'm thinking about it,

I think you guys have seen all kinds of treasures.

I'm sure you guys aren't interested in my wares.

But coincidentally, I have something of interest.

It's an ancient jade pendant.

It can help injured gods to recover their power if they wear it.

Divine Lord would've disregarded it if it was in the past.

But now, it's a precious item for him.

If he acquires it and wears it every day,

he might be able to recover his powers in the future.

Is that true?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Li, there was no need for me to hide it from you.

I was just wary of Divine Lord.

If that's the case, I shall do my best.

Why don't I join the act tomorrow

so that we can get this over with as soon as possible?

You enjoyed a show

and got a great bargain from her.

Jin Niang Zi

is making a terrible deal here.

I do think that Jin Niang Zi

is happy to make this deal with us.

She's the one benefiting from it after all.

Today,

you were Yin

while I was Yang.

This feels just like

the usual days

we spend together.

Li,

are you used to it?

Yes.

Li, do you like it?

I do.

Is this how you treat Jin Niang Zi?

Li,

who is he?

Why is he so fierce?

Don't overact.

I might not be able to continue the act.

I trust your acting skills.

You're a flamboyant playboy.

How dare you say that you won't allow anyone to break her heart?

You're breaking her heart by doing so!

If so,

I guess she has to suffer for a little longer.

So, you were lying to her?

That's right. I was lying to her.

So what?

What has that got to do with you?

So what if I'm a playboy?

So what if I was lying to her?

What has that got to do with you?

That's right.

I only wanted to get her assets.

I only wanted to lie to her and win her heart.

Once I obtain all of her assets,

I'll divorce her.

That's right.

After that, he'll support me with her assets.

That's right. I'll support you with her assets.

What has this got to do with you?

You didn't like Jin Niang Zi anyway.

Great. I'll set you free

after marrying Jin Niang Zi.

Isn't that what you desire?

Why are you angry at me?

You scoundrel!

Stop!

That was terrifying.

Don't be afraid!

You shouldn't fall for someone

like him.

Who should I fall for, then?

You?

Although he covets my wealth, it's good too.

At least he'll give me a chance.

He's better than those who don't covet anything from me

and give me no chance.

You...

Do you know what you're doing?

What I'm doing?

Do you mean choosing someone with no happy ending in sight?

Haven't I done the same with you?

What's wrong?

Are you saying that I can only do that to you

without doing it to anyone else?

You were unwilling to submit to me before this.

It's been many years since then.

You've almost fully recovered as well.

You should leave.

I'm tired of pestering you all these years.

Now,

I've found another man.

I'll set you free.

Go back, pack your belongings,

and return to your sect.

You won't need to be pestered by a monster like me again.

Niang Zi, seems like you're still attached to me.

Look at him.

I already said what I had to say.

Even so, he didn't give us much of a reaction.

Divine Lord,

seems like you won't be able to win your item from me.

I won the bet.

That's hard to say.

Later, tell your servants

to pack his belongings for him and send him down the mountain.

After that, tell him

that you already found a man

and that he shouldn't remain here.

See if he'll agree with your plan.

That won't do.

Jin Niang Zi finally tied Mu Zi Chun to his side.

She can chase her away on the surface,

but she can't do it for real.

If not, all of her efforts will go down the drain.

What do you think?

What else can I think?

I already made myself clear just now.

If he wants to leave, just let him.

I'm truly tired of this.

I thought it would be fine if I just abduct him and let him stay here.

But now that you guys have tested him,

it made me unsure of my decision.

What if I have to spend the next thousands of years

with someone who doesn't care about me at all?

I would rather live my life alone

carefreely

like what I did in the past.

I'll tell my servants to pack his belongings

and send him down the mountain now.

They do have deep feelings for each other.

But that mortal cultivator is too pedantic.

Should we just let them miss out on each other like this?

Do you think

I'll actually

let that happen?

What kind of stupid idea do you have now?

Later,

you just need to knock Jin Niang Zi out.

But why?

Don't ask so many questions.

You don't need to console me.

Why are you utilizing your power?

I'm helping you out.

Madam! Miss, what are you doing?

Your mistress

has been killed by Lord Bi Cang.

The Northern Snowy Peak

belongs to Lord Bi Cang now.

You guys

are her subordinates now.

Why aren't you running away?

Madam was killed!

- Madam was killed! - Why did you do that?

Madam was killed!

Madam was killed!

- What's going on? - Madam was killed!

What's the matter?

Let's go! We need to seek help!

Madam was killed!

Later,

just pretend to choke Jin Niang Zi.

When he's here to save her,

just spar with that guy casually.

Let him rescue Jin Niang Zi.

After that, we can pack our stuff and head home.

How would you know that things would develop as you expected?

Everyone has been through this process before.

I'll pretend to choke her.

(A mortal cultivator actually did that?)

(I guess he was risking everything he had.)

Have you ever considered how we should tie up the loose ends?

Tie up the loose ends?

That's none of our business.

Zi Chun?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I...

Are you hurt?

Don't worry. I can definitely cure you.

I think Li only knocked me out.

I know what's going on now.

Zi Chun, don't be angry.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

What I said before still counts.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness!

Madam, this is the star of Sky's Beyond

gifted by Lord Bi Cang and Divine Lord Xing Zhi.

It's their congratulatory gift for you.

This is obviously fake.

Leave it here.

Tell them

that this wedding is their best gift for me.

I won't express my thanks to them.

And,

this jade pendant is the item I'm giving them in return.

Yes, Madam.

Jin Niang Zi is getting married, huh?

What a joyous occasion.

Do you wish

to hold a wedding?

I think

we haven't held our wedding yet.

In the past, I thought

it was troublesome

and unnecessary.

But after observing the rites for the past few days,

I suddenly feel

that announcing the identity of my beloved

to the world

is pretty nice too.

Li,

will you marry me?

I'll hold a wedding

where all the immortals and gods will give us their blessings.

That's great.

But you have to be quick.

I won't look as pretty in my wedding gown

when my tummy swells up.

This is rare indeed.

Divine Lord, you don't look dumbfounded often, you know?

I...

Li!

Lord Shen!

Lord Shen!

Wait for me!

Lord Shen!

Lord Shen!
