Hua Xu Yin

Episode 37

Your story is indeed spun well. But I don't believe you.

I'll give you two one last chance.

Speak! Just who are you two?

What is your relationship with the mermaid, and where is it?

How would we know where the mermaid is?

Okay then.

Since you two aren't willing to tell me,

then I won't keep asking.

I'm just thinking, after you two die,

what should I write on the tombstones?

Die?

You want us to die?

It's not that I want to kill you.

It's just that you two put yourself on the path to death.

What do your words mean?

Since you two freed the demon I set there,

and let it run off,

then I can only use your blood and flesh as a lure,

to capture the mermaid.

Actually I don't want to be like this either.

But for the people of the Nine Lands,

I must destroy it. Using your two lives,

to save over 100,000 lives of the Nine Lands,

I think this is worth it.

That's just sophistry! You are using live people as bait in the name of good.

Don't you find it despicable?

You're quite right.

If this gets out,

people will definitely say that I, Ye Yuanxuan is too cruel.

Ye Yuanxuan?

You two have heard of me?

I have no choice but to use you two to be a lure today.

But for the people of the world,

I am willing to bear the burden.

I never thought that you were this sort of person!

Mu Yan gege!

Mu Yan gege!

Mu Yan gege!

Ye Yuanxuan, don't hurt him! Just use me as a lure!

It's not your turn yet! Move aside!

Don't bother with me, don't come over here!

How come it's been so long and I still haven't seen a sign of the mermaid?

Could it be the water is too deep and it cannot smell the human scent?

Don't hurt him!

Don't come over here!

If you want to die with him, I'll fulfill your wish!

Mu Yan gege..

You are a person of the Kingdom of Chen?

You are also of the Kingdom of Chen?

Mu Yan gege...

Jun Fu!

Mu Yan gege...

She was under the water for too long,

and also has serious internal injuries.

That's why her channels are blocked and flowing backwards.

If I didn't clear her qi points just now,

even if your wife didn't die she'd have gone crazy.

She isn't my wife.

Is she your fiancee?

Are you cold? Why are you shaking?

I thought I'd never see you again.

Silly.

Okay! The two of you are being so mushy,

I don't even have a place to stay here!

Sir, I have been rather rude.

Please forgive me.

Yes. You saved me.

And I don't even know what your name is.

I...my surname is Heng.

Heng? This is a very rare surname.

Brother Heng, you are of the Kingdom of Chen?

Yes. What are your names?

My name is Mu Yan. Her name is Jun Fu.

Greetings, Brother Heng.

Since the lady is fine, I'll go get something to eat.

Mu Yan gege, what is that sound?

Just now, I think I heard some noise.

It couldn't be that the mermaid has appeared, right?

No. It's a type of music.

Who is it?

It's me.

Why are you both awake?

Brother Heng, where did you just go?

My stomach didn't feel so good, so I went to relive myself.

Did you hear anything out there?

In this Misty Forest, it's not strange to hear anything.

I'm tired. You two should get some rest early too.

Mu Yan gege, do you feel like this Brother Heng is kind of strange?

Also...

Also what?

Doesn't he feel a little familiar?

Silly girl. Did you only find out now?

So you're saying...that you knew long ago that he is your father Su Heng?

I realized it from the first glance.

Then why does he have to hide his identity?

He and my father are both in the Misty Forest.

Just what do they want to do?

You must remember, they may be our family,

but in the illusion, we are just strangers to them, so we must be careful in everything.

Come, sleep.

Say...is it the heavens' fate?

To let us come in here and discover the source of their hatred.

Perhaps.

If it really is heavens' fate, then what is the reason for all this?

Don't think about it.

You won't understand the heavens' fate even if you wrack your brain.

Be good and get to sleep.

The red moon is going to begin.

What is he doing?

Mermaid is the strongest creature in the Misty Forest.

She can change into any form.

Only on the day of the red moon must the mermaid enter the water, and on this day, it's body is weakest.

So, this is the optimal time to catch it.

Mu Yan gege, what do we do?

We must save it!

Brother Heng!

Be careful!

Don't harm her!

You two really didn't die.

And now there's one more person!

If you want me to let her go, then be good and give yourself up to me!

So...this is the way of the humans.

I should save him.

Murong An

You were the one who saved me?

You don't understand what I'm saying?

What is this place?

I still don't know your name.

What is your name?

Do you not have a name?

In my place, everyone has a name.

How about this? I'll give you a name.

Since you're wearing red clothing, your name will be Hong Yi!

No no.

How about...Hong Feng? (red wind)

My name is Murong An.

Murong An?

Murong An? Murong An!

Why are your feet bare? Why do you not wear shoes?

Why do I need to wear those things?

In our Nine Lands, everyone has to wear shoes.

That's right, where is your home? I'll send you back in a bit.

You don't remember?

Then what about your family?

You don't have a home?

This is my home - the Misty Forest.

I've lived here since birth and have never left.

You've never left here before?

Then I must take you away and see the Nine Lands, to see the outside world.

What is there in the outside world?

The outside world has things that this place doesn't.

Like...the Emperor, and all the generalissimos.

I am from the Kingdom of Chen.

In the future, I must be the King of Chen.

Unfortunately, I cannot go back now.

Why do you say that?

Actually I am the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Chen.

Because my country is relatively small, we are always bullied by the Kingdom of Wei.

To get peace with the Kingdom of Wei, my father sent me to be a hostage in their kingdom.

But the Kingdom of Wei went back on their promise and took soldiers to invade my country.

For my father, I cannot not go protect my country just because I am a hostage.

I secretly escaped from the Kingdom of Wei.

In the end, soldiers from the Kingdom of Wei came after me, so I ended up here.

If you didn't save me, I might have died.

I can only hate that I am not strong enough.

I couldn't protect my own country!

I will make you very strong.

I won't let you die.

You?

Your sword skills have surprised me.

There is something that will surprise you even more.

I've made you suffer.

Have you considered my idea from last time?

Guardians will only do things for our responsibility.

We will never sell our lives to anyone.

Then you're rejecting my idea?

But that's fine too.

Without you, I can still enter the illusion and kill the one I want to kill.

Do these things look familiar to you?

Those are our tribe's divine items.

It's a shame that they're in your hands now.

But...without us,

you won't understand how to use them.

Is that so?

I don't think so.

The drawings on them represent the nine constellations representing the Nine Lands.

The Huaxu Illusion can be opened with the power of the nine constellations and the magical stone.

Am I right?

Even if you know those things, you have no way to open the star door.

Then let's give it a try.

It's this simple.

As long as we use your blood and your tribesmen's blood, the star door can be opened.

I'm not wrong.

Just what do you want?

I can promise you now that I can spare your life.

You just need to do what I want you to do, and I'll return your freedom.

I could even return this treasure to you.

At that time, our Jun family and your tribe have nothing to do with each other.

Can I trust that?

I am the Emperor of the Nine Lands.

Just what is going on?

What kind of emperor have I created?

What is it?

You are indeed an amazing girl that is rare in this world.

What are you doing?

When a man finds the girl who moves his heart,

besides wanting to obtain her, what else would he want?

Obtain her?

How can he obtain her?

Let me tell you how she can be obtained.

Only the purest mermaid can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and change into a human form.

From generation to generation, all the leaders have inherited the rose gem because they were the purest.

If you get in contact with them, they will tarnish you.

As soon as the leader is tarnished, only sleep will await her. A sleep that will last for eternity.

Your sword skills isn't up to par yet.

It's not that my sword skills aren't up to par. I just wanted to pick the flower, yet I didn't want to hurt the flower.

Then aren't you a bad guest?

In front of such a beautiful flower, who will be willing to be a good guest?

Looking for death?

Murong An, leave with me.

Go to my kingdom, my world.

This place is my everything.

I am the mermaid of the Enchanted Forest. I am a spirit.

I am fated to stay here.

What about for me?

Unless you beat me.

For this, I must give it a try!

This is the soul destroyer technique.

Soul destroyer?

You cannot defeat me.

One day, you will willingly leave with me!

You lost.

I never thought that in such a short time, your sword skills would improve so much.

It's difficult for you to defeat me using sword skills alone.

My heart hasn't changed yet.

Murong An, leave with me.

Misty Forest may be a beautiful place, but there are better things in the outside world.

Do you not want to go to the Nine Lands with me and see the outside world?

But I said, that you must defeat me.

I won in swordplay!

Do you really want to use the soul destroyer? Do you really want me to lose?

You are right.

If one day, I lose while the sword is still in my hand,

that is because I want to lose.

Today, I lost.

Come!

So, the mermaid lives here?

She might be a mermaid, but usually she lives just like a normal human.

She only returns to her true form on the night of the red moon.

All along you purposely led us here.

What is your goal?

Goal?

Didn't you two come because of the mermaid?

That obvious and flimsy story of yours can only fool common people.

Since we each have our own purpose, you don't need to bother about my actions.

I don't need to ask much about what you are doing either.

I'm afraid it'll be bad if we suddenly have come into the mermaid's room.

Stay behind me and be careful.

Wait a second.

What is it?

It seems a bit strange up ahead.

I'll go take a look. Wait for me.

Why did this sort of thing suddenly happen?

I've been guarding against your father,

but I never thought he would suddenly go for the mermaid instead of us.

Mu Yan gege!

You're alive! you're alive!

Murong An?

Actually...from the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you.

I looked forward for you to come to my country, my world.

I wanted to give you a pair of the most beautiful shoes in the Nine Lands. But I'm afraid it's too late now.

I cannot do it.

I can only hope that in my next life, I can still come here,

and be together with you, and be a couple with no worries.

No!

Don't!

Why?

Why can't I save him even with my essence?

Why?

Guardian deity, please tell me how to save him.

His mortal body is severely injured. It's the work of fate.

But why does our tribe have such a strong ability to heal ourselves?

Please tell me the reason behind it.

Your body has as holy flame inside of it. The holy flame is the treasure passed through our tribe's generations.

So long the holy flame burns, the leader shall continue to live.

Whoever gets the holy flame can obtain the body which is never harmed.

If the holy flame is in my body, how can others obtain it?

With a human way.

Then I'll go save him!

If you lose the holy flame, you will lose the self healing ability.

You will become like humans and experience death and illness.

But, if you are still in here, then you will eventually regain that lost power.

Think clearly.
