Hua Xu Yin

Episode 36

Sir.

Ziyan, go get some water.

I need to wash her face for her.

Sir, we're not familiar with this land.

It's best not to wander around.

The most important thing right now is to make her awake quickly.

Sir, she's in a coma.

You shouldn't think too much about it.

It's already been hard for us to escape from the Wandering Flames.

The most important thing now is to make use of the time and quickly escape from here!

Ziyan, go out.

It's enough if I stay with her.

Sir!

Go out!

Did you know?

There was so many times when I woke up in the prison,

because I dreamed of the day when you and I married.

The scene when you jumped from the city walls.

My life's biggest regret,

is that I couldn't catch you then.

But this time, I wasn't too late.

Jun Fu, I understand all that you've done.

I know that you were caught between two sides.

I know your pain!

But from now on, give all of that to me.

I won't let you face any danger.

I won't let you be used by others.

I will guard over you well.

You must give me this chance.

Jun Fu.

Jun Fu!

Jun Fu! Jun Fu! Jun Fu!

Your Majesty, they went that way!

Wait.

Sir, soldiers have come after us! We must leave immediately!

No! Jun Fu is in a dangerous condition.

I cannot let her suffer from traveling.

Sir, she has no complexion or pulse.

That proves that she's already dead!

That's impossible!

I clearly caught her!

I can even take her and escape from such a dangerous situation.

It was very hard for us to be together!

She won't die just like this.

Sir! Wake up!

She has no complexion or pulse, it proves that she's already dead.

Since she's dead, I cannot let her drag you down any longer!

Sir!

Don't say anything else!

Ziyan, you can leave.

Don't bother with me.

To save you, so many people have already died!

Are you now telling me to leave you behind to die?

Stop talking!

Leave! Leave right now!

Sir, she's already dead.

I must bring her back to life.

You cannot bring her back to life!

Who says?

I can.

You've indeed come very quickly.

I must come to save Jun Fu.

Jun Fu! Wake up.

Open your eyes and look at me!

Didn't you say that you can save Jun Fu?

Don't you love her?

Hurry and save her! Hurry and save her!

Hurry and save her, save her!

You also know that Jun Fu looks alive,

but she's already a dead person.

She depended on the mermaid pearl in her body to live.

The mermaid pearl is formed from absorbing people's beautiful dreams.

But that person must learn to be emotionless.

The crack in her mermaid pearl is getting deeper and deeper.

Looking at how things now, even with my medicine skills, I cannot make her wake up.

Jun Fu is dead.

Even you cannot save her.

You must have a way to save her! Save her!

I did marry her.

As long as you hand her over to me, to be buried as my wife,

I will make you the King of Chen.

Since you said Jun Fu is dead, whichever title she uses on her grave,

Is that important?

It will save the reputation of the Son of Heaven.

This is the most beneficial choice for you right now.

I don't need others to arrange anything for me.

A man, even if he is even more useless, he must at least protect two things.

The ground beneath his feet and the woman in his embrace!

You shouldn't let the best opportunity pass by you.

One must go gain the ground beneath his feet and the woman in his embrace by himself!

They are not for betrayal or exchange.

You really aren't easily tempted.

Actually Jun Fu is currently in a fake dead state.

Because she loved too much, her body's mermaid pearl is becoming more cracked.

Her life is disappearing even quicker.

If this keeps going, will she truly die?

Perhaps she will.

Perhaps she won't.

But if she wakes up,

even if she wakes up, it'll be her last period of consciousness - she could die at any moment.

Then how can she be saved?

At the moment, there is only one way to save Jun Fu.

Jun Fu lives depending on the mermaid pearl.

And I was the one who gave her the mermaid pearl.

Because in the Nine Lands, there is only this mermaid pearl that our Jun family passes down.

So she always felt like she owed me something.

But, I know there is a second mermaid pearl in this world.

Legend has it that the mermaid pearl is in Misty Forest.

Misty Forest?

You want to use me to find Misty Forest?

Are you not afraid the King of Wei will find out and do something to you?

The King of Wei's thinking is pretty obvious.

His final goal is to replace me.

My throne is the aim of all the ambitious people in the Nine Lands.

In the past, I didn't care about anything.

But now I care.

Because I want to become a true king.

Why do you have to tell me all of this?

Because you are my strongest enemy.

But I don't want to sit on your dragon throne.

I know.

You don't desire my Emperor position.

But, you have something that I want even more than the throne.

That is what I truly want.

This is the letter of challenge that I'm giving you today.

I want to get Jun Fu back, using my own ways.

Jun Wei will do it if he says he will. It's clear that this place is very dangerous.

We should hurry and leave.

You don't need to be overly worried.

Jun Wei won't do anything to me.

Jun Wei won't do anything to you.

But what about the others?

Will the King of Wei and the people of the Kingdom of Chen, will they let us go?

Since you know it's dangerous, why did you lead Jun Wei here?

I didn't lead him here.

With your skills,

if you didn't purposely lead Jun Wei to discover here, he wouldn't have found it.

I did it for you.

You love her so much!

She's the one who made you become like this!

And you still love her so much?

I have always known what you did behind my back.

I also know that your motives for staying by my side are not simple.

You must be Empress Liu's person.

Or you are Father or someone else's subordinate.

But I don't care.

Ziyan, because when we were children you once took care of me,

I've treated you as family since long ago.

But this time,

I definitely cannot ignore your enmity towards Jun Fu!

I definitely won't allow you to harm the one I love!

Speak. Why did you do all this?

Why?

I'll tell you why!

You want to protect the one you love.

I want to protect the one I love too!

I want to protect you.

I want to protect your safety, and ensure that you'll safely take the throne!

I understand your heart.

But there are some things that cannot be forcibly gained.

Forcibly gained?

What is forcibly gained?

Forcibly gaining your love for me?

I am thinking right now,

I would have myself die, and still I would ensure your safe succession to the throne.

I did those because, even if I cannot get your love,

I can still fulfill my own wish and my responsibility.

This is a type of love too!

Do you understand?

But you cannot go harm an innocent person because of this reason!

Innocent?

Ask your own heart, is she innocent?

Why did I have to hurt her repeatedly like this?

It's because you'll forever be hurt when you're together with her!

All I'm doing is to protect you, do you not know that?

There are some things you won't understand.

Jun Fu...has her own sufferings.

Jun Fu has her sufferings.

You are thinking for the good of a person who has harmed you.

And all I've done is for you!

Yet you have never thought about me.

No matter what, she needs to die.

She must die!

From today on, we will walk on our own paths!

No matter how the ending is,

as long as I can watch over you by your side, I am happy.

I just knew that you'd wake up!

You cannot bear to leave me!

I am happy too.

You heard it all?

From now on, we'll will be together in life and death.

I won't ever let go of you again.

May Your Majesty live forever!

I want to use my own methods to get Jun Fu back.

Your Majesty, why are you here alone?

So you were here.

In the past, the entire Nine Lands belonged to our Jun family.

And now, we have nothing.

Don't rush.

If you want to restore your splendor,

and be a respected Emperor who can order anyone around,

you must wait in patience.

Patience?

Let me ask you, how more time do I have to wait?

After the war, I have already put spell bugs in the generalissimos who lived.

I have sent people to take away those who died.

Right now the Nine Lands is washed in blood.

But if I cannot obtain the legendary mermaid pearl,

then let me ask, in whose hands will the Nine Lands be?

Son of the Heavens, the heavens watch over you and keep you from harm.

You don't need to think about this question.

Really?

I only want to clarify once: does that mermaid pearl really exist?

Now that we have come to this, Your Majesty, it would be best for you to believe it.

If you don't believe it, you only have the path to death.

I've prepared rations and water.

What have you prepared rations for? Where are you going?

To go back to Kingdom of Chen and search for Misty Forest.

I don't want to go.

Then where do you want to go?

Take me to those beautiful places that I want to go to, okay?

Have you discovered that the mermaid pearl is behaving strangely?

I just feel a bit tired!

From the day I came back to life, I was a living dead person.

No sadness or happiness, and no memories.

Every time I thought of my past, I would be in so much pain.

Actually at that time I didn't intend to live.

Because since I lived so unhappily,

why not just die instead?

This is your heart's true words.

During this time, you haven't been even a little happy?

Then what about when you were together with me?

When I was together with you, I felt like you were familiar.

But I couldn't keep from harming you.

During this time, I was in so much pain.

But after I thought about it,

even though I really liked the feeling of being with you, I still had to hate (you).

Say, why did the heavens have to arrange my life this way?

I don't know, I want to ask that too.

But I won't think about anything now.

Everyone has their own fate. It's good enough if you do as your heart wants.

Then have you done as your heart wants?

I've told you long ago.

No matter how the ending is, as long as I can watch over you by your side, I will feel happy.

What about you?

Do you feel happy when you're with me?

I think... I am happy!

My body may be very weak and I can die at any time,

but I can cry and laugh, I can express real emotions.

I can also be together with the one I like.

Isn't that happiness?

That is good then.

Let's go and search for the Misty Forest.

I know you want to go to the Misty Forest to save me.

Actually I don't really care if we can find the mermaid pearl or not.

As long as I can be with you, it's enough.

Madam, don't worry too much.

Don't worry?

Yong'an City has been sealed off, and there has been no news of Xie'er until now!

How can I not worry?

Madam! Madam! Madam!

There is news about the Second Prince!

How did Su Xie come back perfectly fine from Yong'an City?

Could it be...it has to do with the Emperor and your father?

He must be controlled by Father. Father must be the one who let him come back.

I'm afraid something will happen in the Kingdom of Chen again.

Come!

Xie'er, how is the situation in Yong'an City?

Go away!

Xie'er, what are you doing?

Today, I want to make Father pass the throne to me.

If anyone dares to block me, I will kill with no mercy!

Xie'er, what's wrong with you?

The King of Wei wants me to give you a message.

You'd best remember your promise from years ago. He hopes you can finish your task as promised.

Xie'er, you've been put under a spell!

Do you dare to go back on your word?

Xie'er, your father is seriously ill.

You have to wait for him to get better before you take the throne.

Only this way can you make the people trust you!

Don't worry. I will definitely help you take good care of the Kingdom of Chen.

Will I still be afraid of the peoples' disapproval?

You don't need to take care of the Kingdom of Chen.

I will hand it over to the King of Wei. He is the true ruler of the world!

Today, Su Heng must die!

Xie'er, you won't even care about my life anymore?

If he dies, I cannot keep living!

Xie'er!

Father!

Father! Father, what's wrong?

I'll go get the royal doctor.

It's useless!

This is the sorcery bug poison that bitch gave me!

Then what should I do? How can it be neutralized?

There's none.

Yu'er, that I can see you again, I'm already very satisfied!

Come, Father!

Who is this young lady?

Father, she is Jun Fu.

She is the one I will watch over for life.

-She is also...-Who?

The one who can play the Hua Xu Tune.

Hua Xu Tune?

So it's like that.

This is all fated.

Father, why do you say that?

Is the young lady's life dependent on the mermaid pearl?

Has something happened to the mermaid pearl right now?

Father, you are completely right!

Jun Fu's life is at risk. We need to go to the Misty Forest to retrieve the other mermaid pearl.

Only then can her life be saved.

Everything began from the Misty Forest,

and so it shall ends in the Misty Forest.

Father, just what is all this?

All of this started from when I was young.

I searched desperately for the Misty Forest.

The Misty Forest is the most mysterious place within the Nine Lands.

Legend has it that the Misty Forest holds endless treasures

and a very mysterious power.

There were also the mermaids that were seemed both human and immortal.

Father, you went to the Misty Forest and met a mermaid?

For a bet, I stepped onto this path.

But I never would have thought that it would change my entire fate.

and spark a revolt.

What should I do now?

You...

Step aside.

-Second Prince!-Second Prince!

Father!

Father!

I managed to set the enchantment.

They cannot come in to force me to abdicate now.

Rush the door!

Rush the door!

Yu'er, I cannot keep going on for long.

All the keys to entering the Enchanted Forest are here.

I'm just afraid that this is all fate.

Everyone get up and break down the door!

Why is the entrance to the Misty Forest so elusive?

That's because the path from the Nine Lands to the Misty Forest

is being locked away by a very strong illusion.

To enter the Misty Forest, you must have a special key

and the mermaid's body.

What is the key?

The Hua Xu Tune.

And that person with mermaid blood,

is you, Yu'er.

Why do I have mermaid blood?

I've never told you about your mother.

That is because the poison took away most of my memories of your mother.

Also, that mermaid pearl's location.

You have to follow my memories to enter the Misty Forest.

There you will get to know the relationship between me, your mother, and the King of Wei.

Only when you know about your background can you find the mermaid pearl.

Only then can you save Jun Fu.

Let's begin!

Get up and rush at the door!

Be careful.

Did you know?

I've only heard that the Misty Forest is a dangerous and mysterious place.

I never thought that it'd be so beautiful!

The Misty Forest have always been only a legend.

But only when I have come here today do I realize that I still don't know so much about the Nine Lands and this world.

There must be countless secrets in here.

Be careful.

A bunny!

I'll give this to you. I'll go take a look over there.

Little bunny, why have you been caught?

Let go of me!

Mu Yan gege!

Mu Yan gege!

Just who are you two?

I used so much effort to catch that demon!

And now you two have ruined my plan!

Those vines just now...you created them from illusion magic?

Since you two can come in to here,

then you should know that the Enchanted Forest is full of illusions.

I only used a little magic control the vines.

For one white rabbit, do you have to make such a fuss?

White rabbit?

Didn't I just say so?

The forest is full of illusions. All the creatures are magical, and very hard to catch.

You're saying that the white rabbit just now was made from illusion magic too?

That white rabbit is a demon that I set!

I did that to catch the mermaid in the water!

Mermaid?

Mermaid!

Right. Do you know that the mermaid is a little fish in the pond?

In the enchanted forest, a spirit turns evil, and then transforms into a demon.

If they are allowed to continue living, they will definitely harm the people of the Nine Lands.

So, they must be quickly destroyed!

What nonsense!

I've never heard about mermaids appearing in the Nine Lands, and I've definitely never heard that mermaids will harm people!

Looks like you know a lot about mermaids!

No. General, you have misunderstood.

There are many legends about mermaids. We've just heard a little about them.

Is that so?

But why do I feel like that you two have also come because of the mermaid?

I won't keep it a secret from you.

My little sister and I fish in the West Sea for a living.

The other day we were met with a tsunami, but thankfully escaped with our lives.

When we woke up, we had ended up here.

What kind of fishermen would dress so richly?

Would a fishermen have flesh so unmarred,

without a single mark of wind or rain?

Mu Yan gege, let's tell him the truth.

I won't keep it a secret from you. He and I are not fishermen.

Is that so?

We aren't siblings either.

We are in love.

But our families won't let us be together.

So we eloped.

We heard that in the West Sea there was a little island that people called a heaven on earth.

So we took a ship there.

Yes.

That day, there was a terrible storm in the ocean, and our ship was turned over.

We lost our entourage, but thankfully we weren't separated.

But when we woke up, we found out that the ocean water had pushed us here.

So when we got here, we don't know where this place is either.

We just felt like the scene in front of us was extremely beautiful.

Indeed. Which is why I also suspected this was the Enchanted Forest that only appears in the Nine Lands' legend stories.

But based on what you said just now General, I do not dare to be so sure either.

Your story is indeed well spun.

But I don't believe it.

I will give you two one last chance.

Speak! Just who are you two?

What is your relationship to the mermaid and where is it?

How would we know where the mermaid is?

Okay then.

Since you two aren't willing to speak the truth,

then I won't keep asking.

It's just that I'm thinking, after you two die, what should I write on your tombstones?

Die?

You want us to die?

♫ Before going far away, ♫

♫ leave tenderness for the wind and rain. ♫

♫ Before tenderness, ♫

♫ forget the wanderings of half a lifetime. ♫

♫ Before forgetting, ♫

♫ sharp blades will be cast out of broken shards. ♫

♫ Before breaking, ♫

♫ bury yourself in the dust. ♫

♫ In the blink of an eye, ♫

♫ you are not you. ♫

♫ Is the fleeting time heartless, ♫

♫ or is true love hard to preserve? ♫

♫ To the ends of the earth, ♫
