Who threw out my blanket?

20
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:45,590
Didn't I already promise you all that I'd move downstairs?

How dare you still prank me?

I have to retrieve my blanket

00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:17,800
It wasn't the fault of the relationship too.

00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,580
It was the fault of the evildoer who used their relationship to deceive him.

Now, he has gone berserk due to the dark aura.

108

in the forest with a stroke of the sword.

110

You should hurry and do the same for my lord.

The sword you mentioned just now, it flew off on its own.

114
00:08:14,850 --> 00:08:18,740
The sword they were referring to, could it be the Flaming Dragon Fang?

115
00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:19,440
That's impossible.

116
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,870
I stood guard over it every day. I always kept an eye on it.

117
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:23,150
No one pulled the sword out.

118

That's not true.

119
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,290
Someone did pull that sword out.

128

It's useless to go to him now.

129

Right now, he can't pull out the sword you need.

130

But why?

131
00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:33,020
Only a pure-hearted person can pull out the Flaming Dragon Fang.

132
00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:36,960
Right now, he's trapped by the past.

133
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,920
He's no longer pure-hearted.

134

What should we do then?

135

You have to help me out.

00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,220
My Lord,

167
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:58,000
I had no idea

168
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,760
that the Misty Forest was the entrance to this realm.

169
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,020
However, you brought the Spirit Dragon here,

170
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:08,040
destroyed the entrance to the Misty Forest,

171
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,510
and almost ruined my plan.

172
00:13:12,510 --> 00:13:14,600
I know my fault now.

173
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,250
How was the progress of the task I had assigned you?

174
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:21,640
I've already found a suitable couple.

175
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,180
I'm planning to bring them to Qingqiu

176
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:26,930
to retrieve the secret treasure for you, My Lord.

177
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:33,070
You've made me wait too long.

178
00:13:33,070 --> 00:13:35,650
Do not try anything funny.

179
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:39,850
I will keep a close eye on you.

180
00:14:02,860 --> 00:14:04,600
So filthy.

181
00:14:09,377 --> 00:14:11,387
What a jerk.

182
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:14,960
Wait.

183
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:23,510
I used the blood
of the entire phantom spirit clan to create the entrance to our lord's mind's eye.

184
00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:27,420
Since you brought the dragon here and destroyed the entrance,

185
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:30,120
you have to repair it.

186
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,500
This is also an order from our lord.

187
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,770
Shadows, come.

188
00:15:06,510 --> 00:15:08,290
All good now?

189
00:15:08,290 --> 00:15:10,400
Although we both serve the Lord,

190
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,900
you shall do your things while I shall do mine.

191
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,850
Do not cause trouble for me.

192
00:15:14,850 --> 00:15:17,420
You're so talkative.

193
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:20,490
One day, I'll take your life.

194
00:15:21,490 --> 00:15:24,030
Before that, I'll surely take your life first.

195
00:15:24,030 --> 00:15:25,920
Try me then.

196
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,890
I'm already tired of living anyway.

197
00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:41,890
My Lord, I will seek out more power for you

198
00:15:41,890 --> 00:15:44,580
so that you can regain your freedom earlier.

199
00:16:18,090 --> 00:16:21,240
What a huge drumstick.

200
00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:32,400
Your Majesty, do you have feelings for this lady then?

201
00:16:38,610 --> 00:16:40,030
I don't.

202
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,050
- Let's go.
- Your Majesty, time to go!

203
00:16:43,050 --> 00:16:44,570
Let's go! Time to head back!

204
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:46,460
Let's go!

205
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:27,620
This fatty is crushing me.

206
00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:31,180
Your Majesty, why are you still awake?

207
00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:32,400
You guys can sleep.

208
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,680
Your Majesty, aren't you sleepy?

209
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,740
Your Majesty, will you attempt to pull out the sword again tomorrow?

210
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,540
I have to.

211
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:43,440
Your Majesty, why can't you pull out Flaming Dragon Fang now?

212
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Maybe it's because

213
00:17:50,790 --> 00:17:51,930
I've changed.

214
00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:55,210
Your Majesty, no matter how much you change, we'll defend you with our lives.

215
00:17:55,210 --> 00:17:58,850
Especially when it comes to having a relationship.

216
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:08,540
Don't worry.

217
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:12,130
I won't repeat the same mistake.

218
00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:17,510
Go to sleep now.

219
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,180
So, was that considered a rejection?

220
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,440
I haven't even confessed to him yet.

221
00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:53,390
There is still a long way to go. I mustn't give up this easily.

222
00:18:55,330 --> 00:18:56,980
But now that I think about it,

223
00:18:56,980 --> 00:19:00,490
if I was hurt by a person I loved,

224
00:19:00,490 --> 00:19:03,520
I assume I would be fearful of love too.

225
00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:08,370
I need to give him some time. I'll wait for him.

226
00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:10,220
Were you waiting for me?

227
00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:17,350
Bai Xiaosheng?

228
00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:32,210
The sunflower seeds here are delicious.

229
00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:42,250
My... My Lord?

230
00:19:43,310 --> 00:19:47,180
You can't just appear randomly without telling anyone. You scared me.

231
00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:49,120
After so long,

232
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,770
you and I were still reunited in this valley.

233
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:55,700
Is that so? Where did you go?

234
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:59,030
It's a long story. Actually...

235
00:20:12,030 --> 00:20:13,720
Bai Xiaosheng!

236
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Kill!

237
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,470
- Who is this?
- Kill!

238
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:21,950
You're digging your own grave here.

239
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:25,130
Have mercy! Please have mercy!

240
00:20:25,130 --> 00:20:26,340
What's going on?

241
00:20:26,340 --> 00:20:28,630
I don't know what triggered my lord

242
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:30,340
to escape from the ring!

243
00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:32,110
He's your lord?

244
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:37,990
Don't be scared.

245
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:40,090
Stay here and wait for my return.

246
00:20:45,180 --> 00:20:47,020
- A life for a life!
- My Lord!

247
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:48,480
A life for a life!

248
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,720
I'm going to kill you!

249
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:54,660
- You!
- I'm sorry! My lord is usually a nice person.

250
00:20:54,660 --> 00:20:58,140
Right now, he's influenced by the dark aura. That's why he lost control.

251
00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:00,180
Bai Xiaosheng, you were controlled by the dark aura too before.

252
00:21:00,180 --> 00:21:02,990
You should understand how my lord is feeling right now.

253
00:21:02,990 --> 00:21:05,760
I do! But I'm a victim too!

254
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,730
Not only is he hitting me, but he's also digging my nose!

255
00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:12,970
This won't do. Why don't we sit down and talk it over?

256
00:21:12,970 --> 00:21:15,410
- That's right.
- Let's talk it over.

257
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,370
My Lord!

258
00:21:18,370 --> 00:21:21,410
A life for a life! Kill him!

259
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:23,920
- Is my nose crooked?
- No.

260
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,360
What happened? Are you okay?

261
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:41,460
You're here again?

262
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:46,080
What do you mean by again? My heart has never left.

263
00:21:46,830 --> 00:21:50,620
Who exactly are you? What's your connection to the dark aura within the Misty Forest?

264
00:21:55,430 --> 00:21:59,090
Since it has come to this, there's no need for me to hide this from you guys.

265
00:21:59,090 --> 00:22:00,640
Actually,

266
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,380
I'm a victim of the dark aura too.

267
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:06,020
How can I speak when you're dragging my collar?

268
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:07,300
Let him speak.

269
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,720
Yeah. You should give him a chance to explain himself.

270
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,090
Just look at my lord. He's truly a victim.

271
00:22:20,190 --> 00:22:25,000
This story starts from a long time ago.

272
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,370
Once upon a time, there was this person.

273
00:22:26,370 --> 00:22:29,950
He manipulated the dark aura and annihilated the Shadow Clan.

274
00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:31,700
My mother protected me.

275
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,570
That's how I was able to survive.

276
00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:38,220
But I wasn't immune to the dark aura.

277
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:42,670
All these years, I've been searching for a solution to purge the dark aura in my body.

278
00:22:42,670 --> 00:22:44,860
After many years of searching, I finally found it.

279
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:48,340
There's one secret treasure in Qingqiu that can relieve me of my suffering.

280
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:54,890
However, the secret treasure can only be acquired by the cooperation of a loving couple.

281
00:22:54,890 --> 00:23:01,280
So, about the loving couple you mentioned, was that why you kept trying to be our matchmaker?

282
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,720
That's right. A couple that truly loves each other is much more precious than the secret treasure.

283
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,520
And I'd failed countless times until the day I encountered you guys.

284
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,300
No wonder you've been helping us along the way.

285
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:19,540
You do sound like you have a point.

286
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,660
Both of you were influenced by the dark aura.

287
00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:28,740
Why is the Phantom King delirious while you're perfectly fine?

288
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:31,720
That's because my true effigy is still under someone else's control.

289
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,100
My body hasn't been
fully corroded by the dark aura yet.

290
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:38,300
How could I know if someone didn't manipulate you to say all of that?

291
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:41,420
It feels terrible when your life is in someone else's hands.

292
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:47,500
I've trained hard for so many years in order to escape his control and to get back my true effigy.

293
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,300
Who's the mastermind behind you?

294
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,100
It's the creator of the dark aura.

295
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,140
He's a visual spell master in Qingqiu.

296
00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:03,840
It's a shame that I don't know what he looks like.

297
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,380
I don't even know his name.

298
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,120
But of course, my words alone are no proof.

299
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:13,940
It's normal for you to be doubtful of me.

300
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:15,120
Therefore, I have a suggestion.

301
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,500
We should vanquish the dark aura that's residing within the Phantom King's ring.

302
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:20,260
When he comes back to his senses and exits the ring,

303
00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:27,180
he'll tell you guys that I'm not the culprit behind the dark aura within the Misty Forest.

304
00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:31,700
That's right. You should vanquish it first.

305
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:35,660
But he can't pull out that sword of his.

306
00:24:35,660 --> 00:24:38,240
This matter concerns my reputation.

307
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Therefore, I'll do my best to lend you guys a hand.

308
00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:48,120
You're willing to lend us a hand?

309
00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:54,660
Of course.

310
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:56,560
Come with me.

311
00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:02,620
I don't need his help.

312
00:25:02,620 --> 00:25:04,200
I know.

313
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,060
I know you don't need his help. But I do.

314
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:07,060
Let's go.

315
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:08,880
Rest early.

316
00:25:10,060 --> 00:25:11,540
I'll make a move first too.

317
00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:13,860
- I'm doing this to help you guys out.
 - Wait for me!

318
00:25:16,780 --> 00:25:19,440
You said that dragon rejected you?

319
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,860
But why?

320
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,760
It's common for people to not have the same feelings for others.

321
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,260
I finally figured it out.

322
00:25:31,260 --> 00:25:33,520
What are you perplexed about?

323
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,540
By the way, I need to be honest with you on one thing.

324
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:42,000
What is it?

325
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,340
Before this, the lovey-dovey acts between me and Tianyao, they were all fake.

326
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:51,020
We put on an act because we needed your help.

327
00:25:51,020 --> 00:25:53,420
- I'm sorry.
 - What?

328
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:55,160
Are you serious?

329
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,580
But now, I've truly fallen for him.

330
00:25:58,580 --> 00:25:59,820
I'm being serious here.

331
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,460
It's no longer an act.

332
00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:09,840
Good.

333
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:14,420
It's good as long as you two love each other.

334
00:26:15,660 --> 00:26:17,540
But now, I'm facing a situation.

335
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:23,160
How do I help him to get over his tragic past and mend his broken heart?

336
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,160
Mending a broken heart?

337
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,760
I don't know how to do that.

338
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,060
I only know how to hold funerals.

339
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:31,880
Don't say inauspicious things like that.

340
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,220
I think she has a point.

341
00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:37,880
Marriages and funerals, they feel the same to me.

342
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,640
What I'm trying to say is that both marriages and funerals are major events in life, right?

343
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,260
We have to make preparations for them, right?

344
00:26:46,260 --> 00:26:47,380
You're right.

345
00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:51,040
You, tell us. How do you usually hold funerals for other people?

346
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,840
I just play some music with my instruments,

347
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,060
carve their epitaphs onto their tombstones, and send them on their last journeys.

348
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:01,820
Must we hold a funeral for him?

349
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:02,880
This won't do.

350
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,060
It'll irritate him instead.

351
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:06,100
We should think about events for the living.

352
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:07,680
I don't know anything else.

353
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,660
I don't understand why he rejected you.

354
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:15,200
You're beautiful. You have a great temper. And you're kind too.

355
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Are you talking about me?

356
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,540
You still trust me?

357
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,860
You were the one who found me in the Misty Forest.

358
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,500
When you dragged me out of the vines,

359
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:32,740
back then, my heart was...

360
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,420
So, you like her?

361
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:37,300
Seems like you know nothing
about the world of the living.

362
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:41,600
He's just trying to console me so that I have the confidence to face Tianyao.

363
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:48,720
Listen. Before this, when he tried to set me up with Tianyao, he made us sleep in the same bed.

364
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Really?

365
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,880
And, not long ago, he even monitored me on Tianyao's behalf.

366
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,540
He didn't allow me
to talk to my eldest senior too.

367
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:56,960
That's right.

368
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,100
You've spent a lot of effort.

369
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:01,700
It must've been tough.

370
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:03,680
No choice.

371
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,440
They're the loving couple

372
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:11,480
that I've chosen after all.

373
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,900
Don't worry.

374
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:17,087
I'll treat you as my buddy because of your matchmaking effort.

375
00:28:17,087 --> 00:28:22,420
If I do get together with Tianyao, we might be able to fulfill the promise I made to you.

376
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,940
But this is so difficult.

377
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:28,100
He has already shut his heart away.

378
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:29,200
How do we cure him?

379
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,680
How do we mend his broken heart?

380
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,740
Who wants to be your buddy?

381
00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:42,640
Maybe Tianyao shut his heart away because he was shouldering too many responsibilities and guilt.

382
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:48,620
He thinks that the elves died 20 years ago all because he fell for Suying.

383
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,400
If we want to reach his heart, we have to make him reconcile with his past self.

384
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,220
Reconcile?

385
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,340
You have an idea?

386
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,180
- Greetings, Your Majesty!
 - Greetings, Your Majesty!

387
00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:16,820
Get up.

388
00:29:16,820 --> 00:29:18,340
Your Majesty, you woke up early today.

389
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:19,500
Your Majesty, did you sleep well?

390
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:21,980
Your Majesty,
are you going to pull out your sword?

391
00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:24,880
Everyone, look!

392
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,080
It's that lady and the newcomer again.

393
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,900
It looks like they've been spending a lot of time together.

394
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,360
I'm sure she wants to get into a relationship with him.

395
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,600
What a jinx.

396
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920
You should leave the valley
if you want to do that.

397
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,220
They've been together for quite some days.

398
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:42,940
I think they're already
deeply in love with each other.

399
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:44,960
Your Majesty, you can go and retrieve your sword.

400
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,680
We'll chase these jinxes out of our valley.

401
00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:56,720
Just let them be.

402
00:29:58,580 --> 00:30:02,020
His Majesty's cold and strong demeanor looks so cool.

403
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:05,580
Is that so? But I feel like something's off.

404
00:30:05,580 --> 00:30:07,180
What do you mean?

405
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:09,920
I think His Majesty is angry.

406
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,040
His Majesty is angry?

407
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,920
I didn't feel that.

408
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,480
No!

409
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,640
You mustn't go inside!

410
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,600
What are they doing?

411
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,200
Nothing.

412
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,940
They're not doing anything.

413
00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:29,100
- I don't wish to fight you.
 - Move aside.

414
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:30,320
And I can't defeat you.

415
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,480
I'm just here to be on the lookout for them.

416
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,760
I'm begging you.

417
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,460
Just treat it as if they aren't here.

418
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:38,240
They've been working on it for a long time.

419
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,480
They've been working on it for a long time?

420
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,920
What exactly are they up to?

421
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,260
I...

422
00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:49,060
I cannot tell you.

423
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:53,660
You'll know when they feel like telling you.

424
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:02,760
Remember, no falling in love in the Dragon Valley!

425
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:08,740
Okay.

426
00:31:15,980 --> 00:31:17,680
Let me see yours.

427
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,780
It looks pretty cute.

428
00:31:22,780 --> 00:31:24,640
Why are you so near to me? Be serious.

429
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,980
I'm very serious.

430
00:31:25,980 --> 00:31:28,720
Listen. We don't have much time.

431
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,280
Let me show you something. Look.

432
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,680
The puppy is happy.

433
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,420
- Be serious!
 - I'm being serious.

434
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,040
You're a shadow spirit, right?

435
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,120
Utilizing them should be no problem for you.

436
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,460
That's right. But it'll only be touching if we put in our true feelings.

437
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:47,520
If so, you need to memorize your lines.

438
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,980
Do you still remember the line I utter before you make an appearance?

439
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:51,120
What line?

440
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,300
The line where I say "Snow Wolf".

441
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:55,460
What do I do after that?

442
00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:57,420
- You'll then make an appearance.
 - Yanhui!

443
00:31:57,420 --> 00:31:59,860
This is bad!

444
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,560
What's the matter?

445
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,140
Just now, the dragon tried to come here.

446
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:07,900
I think he found out what we were up to.

447
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:09,820
Were we up to something?

448
00:32:09,820 --> 00:32:10,820
He...

449
00:32:10,820 --> 00:32:12,860
I think he cast away his worldly feelings.

450
00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:16,900
He came here to remind us that no falling in love is allowed in the Dragon Valley.

451
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,620
Was he trying to tell us to stop?

452
00:32:20,620 --> 00:32:22,140
Yanhui, what should we do?

453
00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:25,460
I think you might not be able to win his heart.

454
00:32:26,780 --> 00:32:29,320
- Why don't we...
 - I don't care what he thinks.

455
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,000
I'm going to do it if I've set my mind to it.

456
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,100
We cannot afford to wait any longer.

457
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,960
It all falls on tonight.

458
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,540
(It's that lady and the newcomer again.)

459
00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:02,280
(It looks like they've been spending a lot of time together.)

460
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,220
(I'm sure she wants to get into a relationship with him.)

461
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,460
I know. I know you don't need his help.

462
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:15,060
But I do. Let's go. Rest early.

463
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,380
(They've been working on it for a long time.)

464
00:33:28,380 --> 00:33:32,920
You'll know when they feel like telling you.

465
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,640
Stupid sword!

466
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,220
What's wrong?

467
00:34:26,220 --> 00:34:28,580
Your Majesty, we're here to escort you.

468
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:30,280
The other elves aren't here today

469
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,300
because they went to the tree by the lakeside to watch a shadow play.

470
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:34,860
Shadow play?

471
00:34:34,860 --> 00:34:37,380
It's the act that lady and her lover had been preparing for.

472
00:34:37,380 --> 00:34:39,640
Don't say the term "lover". It's unlucky.

473
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,820
Her acquaintance.

474
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:44,200
I heard that they prepared it for us.

475
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,640
They even prepared
sunflower seeds and tea for us.

476
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,180
Stop looking.

477
00:34:48,180 --> 00:34:51,520
Those who only think about love won't be able to come up with anything good.

478
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,960
That's right. We won't go there.

479
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:06,760
You guys can go there if you wish to.

480
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,020
We don't want to.

481
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:12,560
Your Majesty, but if you wish to go there, we can join you.

482
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,900
- That's right. Your Majesty, we can join you!
- That's right. Your Majesty, we can join you!

483
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,060
I don't wish to go there.

484
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:35,140
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.

485
00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:40,540
In order to thank you all for taking care of us in the Dragon Valley,

486
00:35:40,540 --> 00:35:47,280
we've prepared an amazing shadow play for you all.

487
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,940
Are you ready?

488
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:54,020
Yes.

489
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,640
Louder. Are you ready?

490
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,620
Yes!

491
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,060
Good. Let's begin!

492
00:36:11,260 --> 00:36:18,240
Once upon a time, there was a hermit called Mr. Beiguo.

493
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,640
He lived in a valley.

494
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,800
He kept plenty of adorable pets.

495
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,780
He has always lived a happy life.

496
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,420
You're too early.

497
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,980
One day, the Snow Wolf came to the valley.

498
00:36:42,980 --> 00:36:46,140
Snow Wolf, what's wrong?

499
00:36:46,140 --> 00:36:48,620
I'm hurt.

500
00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:50,920
Can you please help me?

501
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,240
The kind Mr. Beiguo helped the wolf out,

502
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,740
just like how he helped the other animals.

503
00:36:57,740 --> 00:37:00,840
However, he never expected

504
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,760
the Snow Wolf to bite the hand that feeds him.

505
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,460
It ate all of the animals in the valley.

506
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,340
Mr. Beiguo was also bitten by the Snow Wolf.

507
00:37:15,340 --> 00:37:19,520
He only recovered after resting for a long time.

508
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,020
But Mr. Beiguo regretted his decision.

509
00:37:23,020 --> 00:37:25,040
And he blamed himself for it.

510
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:30,040
Until today, he encountered someone who knew about the incident.

511
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:37,320
Mr. Beiguo, why did you choose to save the Snow Wolf?

512
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:48,160
Mr. Beiguo, why did you choose to be kind?

513
00:37:50,540 --> 00:37:52,460
It's because
he didn't know about the wolf's intention.

514
00:37:52,460 --> 00:37:54,360
That's right.

515
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,760
The animals died because of you!

516
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,700
You committed this sin!

517
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:03,180
You should atone for your sin!

518
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:05,540
Why did you hit me?

519
00:38:05,540 --> 00:38:07,560
Why are you guys treating Mr. Beiguo like this?

520
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,200
If you treat him like this, Mr. Beiguo won't save other animals

521
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,980
if he finds them in danger next time.

522
00:38:11,980 --> 00:38:14,140
He's not wrong for saving the Snow Wolf!

523
00:38:14,140 --> 00:38:16,380
You're wrong. Mr. Beiguo is in the wrong here.

524
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:18,640
The animals died due to his kindness.

525
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,680
No. No! He's not at fault for being kind! It's...

526
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,620
The Snow Wolf is in the wrong here!

527
00:38:25,620 --> 00:38:27,180
That's right! It's the wolf's fault!

528
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:32,180
It's the wolf's fault!

529
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:42,160
You're right. I also think it isn't Mr. Beiguo's fault.

530
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,980
Don't spout nonsense again.

531
00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:47,800
Sorry about that.

532
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,800
Tianyao!

533
00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:07,280
Your Majesty!

534
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,240
- Yanhui!
 - Yanhui!

535
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:11,900
Tianyao!

536
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,040
Yanhui, you crossed the line.

537
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,660
I know.

538
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,060
But I have to cross the line you drew.

539
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:28,820
My past has nothing to do with you.

540
00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:30,920
But your present has everything to do with me.

541
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,860
- Move aside!
 - I won't!

542
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,640
I don't want you to get yourself injured in the valley.

543
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,080
You're not putting in effort for the sake of a better future.

544
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,620
You're just punishing yourself.

545
00:39:42,620 --> 00:39:45,620
That's right. So what if that's the case?

546
00:39:45,620 --> 00:39:48,440
- What has that got to do with you?
 - It breaks my heart.
