"Dance of the Phoenix"

Episode 9

Look at this.

Junwu Gate

It says I bring people happiness and peace

and I can definitely be an immortal in the future.

And this.

It says I'm a good king that's on a par with Liu Bei.

Your Majesty is a good king that's on a par with Liu Bei

Who's Liu Bei?

Have you heard about him?

Your Majesty,

were these written by the Crown Prince himself?

He's so admired in the border

that its people volunteered

to send me this collection of birthday blessings.

I can hardly go through them all.

There are so many of them.

It's very considerate of the Crown Prince

to prepare this special gift for Your Majesty.

It would be perfect

if the Celestial Fruit were here, too.

Besides,

the Crown Prince had this Millennia-Old Ice Jade Pillow

from Penglai sent here as well.

I could use it at night

as a perfect complement

to my daytime cultivation.

Let's forget

about that Celestial Fruit.

Right.

The Crown Prince is really sweet

and filial.

Blessed with such a worthy son,

Your Majesty will surely enjoy longevity.

I agree.

Yes?

Why don't you

come in and tell me about it?

What is this?

I saw it in the market today.

It's for me?

No. It's nothing particular.

So you bought one

for Feng Liu

and Qiu Ling as well?

See?

It's a gift for me after all.

It's nothing special.

Think of it as a token of my gratitude

for your hard work lately.

Just admit that it's a gift for me.

There's no need to beat about the bush.

Thanks.

Did you give me this comb

to make me

think of you

every time I comb my hair?

Get over yourself.

Come on.

I know your words belie your mind

because of that Loveless Insect Venom.

We'll be doomed

if we keep sitting idle

and watching Feng Wu gain a foothold.

Considering the current situation,

we mustn't let Feng Wu leave the Border City.

She must get married here.

Once she returns to the capital,

you and I

along with our father

might lose our present status.

Don't worry.

I've got the right person for the job.

What happened?

Why are you so angry?

Did Feng Liu

upset you again?

Hello, Young Master Feng.

Hello, Young Master Xuan.

Where's your young lady?

She...

Young Master bullied her into going out

with him on the excuse of her mom.

They've gone to the main street in the north of the city.

I'm going with you.

Don't make things worse.

I must be a fool

to come and see

what Feng Yiran is playing at.

This is it?

Dad.

Miss Wu.

Since my son likes you so much,

I'm not going to object to it.

There's nothing we couldn't give you,

Miss Wu.

Cousin,

since Mr. Bi has given his assent,

you should commit yourself.

What are you talking about?

Your Highness Jun.

Your Highness Jun.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

How dare you abduct my fiancee?

Am I invisible to you?

My intended Spiritual Princess almost got abducted.

And you asked me

what I'm doing here?

Spiritual Princess?

Um...

Spiritual Princess?

But I thought you had broken off

your engagement with Feng Wu.

Alright.

I shall declare once and for all

that I haven't broken off my engagement with Feng Wu.

She's still my fiancee.

Your Highness Jun.

You.

You.

Darn it, Feng Yiran.

Why didn't you tell us?

Did you do this to humiliate us?

No. No.

So Miss Wu

was the girl of the Feng family

betrothed to His Highness Jun.

You.

No, Mr. Bi.

Please let me explain.

It was a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding.

It was a huge misunderstanding.

Your Highness Jun,

this is a busy street.

Let go of my hand, will you?

You. You.

Let go of me.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What are you afraid of?

You're to blame.

You shouldn't have said that nonsense.

You've ruined my reputation.

Alright.

Go and marry Bi Youfu, then.

Let go of me.

I could marry him.

It's not a bad idea.

From what I saw,

he could make a doting husband.

No.

I won't allow it.

What right do you have to object to it?

I...

You still owe me.

I'll have to keep you with me until you pay off your debt.

You.

What...

Drat. What a nuisance.

Young Master,

please stop pacing around.

You're giving me

a headache.

Didn't you agree to go back

to Darknight Court with me?

But I don't want to go back empty-handed.

Young Master,

what do you plan to do, then?

I can't get the Celestial Fruit,

but at least

I should have a showdown with Jun Linyuan.

Young Master,

I see what's going on.

You want to see Little Fairy, don't you?

Young Master,

this is not the right way to woo a girl.

You're not going to win her heart

if you rush towards her

without a clear plan in mind.

Why are you talking like a Casanova?

I'm old enough

to be more experienced

in this matter, to be sure.

Why don't you tell me

what I should do?

Young Master,

here's a word of advice.

Your Majesty.

Did you deliver my message?

Your Majesty,

I did.

I delivered it to the leader of Celestial Palace.

Good.

It seems

that we'd better summon the Crown Prince

to return immediately.

Bravo. Bravo. Goddess is awesome.

This way, please, Madam.

We haven't seen you for a while.

Please allow me to make an introduction.

That young lady came here a few days ago.

She volunteered to teach us after hearing

that we were studying basic spells on our own.

She taught us attentively,

and we studied hard.

It's good to gear your study to practical use.

I hope this will help you at the critical moment.

Now practice it with me, guys.

Yes, Ma'am.

It's wonderful to learn from such a selfless

and patient cultivator.

Yes, Madam.

The footwork you'd taught us helped me escape

the attack of some mountain demonic beasts the other day.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'll send people to drive

the demonic beasts out of the suburbs.

Then you'll be able

to go hunting in the mountains with an easy mind.

Thank you, Madam.

We're so grateful to goodhearted ladies like you

and kind girls like her.

Cultivators are often too self-important

to care about the livelihood of us commoners.

Miss.

My name is Zuo Qingluan.

What an honor it is to meet

with a like-minded senior today.

Youngsters

with such a disposition

are hard to find nowadays.

It's a pleasure

to meet you.

What's the matter?

My family were attacked by demonic beasts

and got poisoned by snake venom.

I'm the only survivor.

Do you want to avenge them?

Yes.

But a pauper like me

isn't qualified to be a cultivator.

The rules are set by the winner.

Think if you don't know how to cultivate yourself.

Study on your own if you can't find a teacher.

What have you got to lose

by trying your best?

I can teach you

if you want to learn.

Your Majesty,

His Majesty is waiting for you in the Hall.

Her Majesty? Her Majesty?

I see.

That's Her Majesty?

Lassie,

you know who I am now.

It was a pleasure

meeting you today.

Come and visit me

at Junwu Divine Hall someday.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm flattered by Your Majesty's attention.

Let's go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That really is Her Majesty!

She taught us spell herself

and often gave us medicinal herbs.

Her Majesty is so kind.

My Lady,

could you show me your spirit energy?

No way.

I have only a small amount of it every day.

I can't afford to squander it.

When do you plan to use it, then?

Perhaps

we should light a candle with it tonight?

No.

Don't waste it like that.

At least...

At least we should use it to make Phoenix Tea.

It may produce a better flavor.

Feng Wu!

Oh, dear. Here she comes again.

Qiu Ling,

perhaps you should go ahead.

I'll join you in the kitchen in a minute.

Look what you did.

Lord Bi gave my brother a talking-to.

That's not my fault.

You should blame Jun Linyuan.

I just played along.

Are you flaunting

how His Highness Jun acknowledged you in public?

Don't kid yourself.

His recognition alone isn't enough.

You need His Majesty's and Her Majesty's recognition as well.

Put down your sword if you dare.

Let's...let's duke it out.

You...

Do you take me for a fool?

The rules are always set by the strong.

Boss Jun,

do you suppose we could

make that snack with litchis?

You should ask her.

Tell me the truth.

Do you like His Highness Jun or not?

That's none of your business.

Feng Liu,

are you

in your right mind?

Besides,

marriage isn't the only thing

a girl should concern herself with.

You girls like him,

but I'm not one of you.

Jun Linyuan isn't Tang Monk's flesh.

His Highness Jun.

You said that.

I didn't force you to say that.

Did you say you don't like His Highness Jun?

Yes, yes.

Say another word,

and you'll part with not just a lock of hair.

Just you wait.

What a nuisance.

Now that I can finally cultivate myself,

I'll do everything to revive my master.

Your Highness Jun,

you're jilted.

Does it mean I've got a chance now?

And what the heck is Tang Monk's meat?

Is it very tasty?

I'm bored.

It's getting cold.

Is a storm coming?

Qiu Ling.

Young Master Feng. Your Highness Jun.

What is Tang Monk's flesh? Is it tasty?

Tang Monk's flesh?

According to Feng Wu,

Boss Jun isn't Tang Monk's flesh.

What does that mean?

She does talk about

strange stuff sometimes.

I don't know.

Listen.

There're many talents

in Qianyuan Continent.

Why don't you try persuading Feng Wu

to be my cook?

You should come along.

You'll always be welcome

and protected at our Penglai Pavilion.

Well...

I doubt my lady will accept the offer.

You mean Feng Wu

won't condescend to be a cook in my house?

That's not what I mean.

Do you expect Feng Wu

to become a remarkable cultivator?

That'd be a miracle.

No.

She has been working so hard;

perhaps she will become

a Great Spiritual Master,

Spiritual Elder or Spiritual Immortal one day.

You must be kidding me.

A Great Spiritual Immortal?

Mu Jiuzhou has been the only one in 100 years.

Perhaps

you should advise your lady to consider

becoming Boss Jun's Spiritual Princess.

It'll be a great...

Feng Wu cares nothing

about becoming the Spiritual Princess of Junwu Clan.

It's none of your business.

Why did you come uninvited again?

Where's my Little Fairy?

She doesn't want to see you now, I'm afraid.

Please tell her

she's as gorgeous as always.

Her beauty

puts flowers to shame.

The flowers look nice.

I think she will use it as medicine.

Bitter and sweet, they're effective in improving eyesight and calm the liver.

Excellent.

As medicine?

They're a gift for Little Fairy.

What a violent thug.

A violent thug is better than a fan-waving

smart mouth.

What did you just say?

Knock it off.

Stop fighting

in our place.

Young Lady will kick you guys out

if she hears this ruckus.

Qiu Ling,

let's go and prepare the food.

That's an instruction from Sister Feng Wu herself.

Come on.

Come on.

Jun Linyuan,

so we've taken a fancy

to the same object again.

Don't kid yourself.

You're not my equal either in kung fu

or in any other aspect.

Don't be so sure.

Anyway, she's destined

to be mine in this life.

Get over yourself, Jun Linyuan.

If Lord Demon hadn't called me back,

I would show you

how I shall make Little Fairy my woman.

We've relaxed for far too long.

Your Highness Jun,

please don't get distracted by this temporary peace

and forget your heavy responsibility.

Pack up.

We'll set out tomorrow.

Qiu Ling,

do keep this a secret.

I'll be so embarrassed

if the word is out that I, Young Master Feng,

was working as a cook here.

Young Master Feng,

shall we give up on it?

No way.

I still remember the superb flavor

of the Phoenix Tea made by Feng Wu last time.

Besides,

we'll soon return to the capital.

I wonder when I shall get a taste of it again.

You're right.

You're going back to the capital.

Qiu Ling.

You don't want me to leave, do you?

I knew it.

I'm popular

with people of all age groups,

ranging from centenarians to toddlers.

Nonsense.

I'm not fond of you.

I feel sorry for Young Lady.

You mean Feng Wu?

She doesn't want me to leave, either?

I knew it.

Get over yourself.

She doesn't want His Highness Jun to leave.

You mean

Feng Wu already told you

she's in love with Boss Jun?

No.

It's just my guess.

What gave you the idea? Could you tell me?

Um,

every time Young Lady met His Highness Jun,

all she saw was His Highness.

Besides,

her eyes looked so bright

every time she was with His Highness Jun,

as if His Highness was all she could see and think of.

She wore a bright smile on her face

every time they were together.

They say

when you're in love with someone,

you'll just...

You'll just...

So

she's not going to be my cook after all.

Simple and Incorruptible

What are you doing here?

Admiring the moon.

Admiring the moon?

Um...

The moon has gone down.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Bye.

What do you think of the capital?

A small place could also be

infested with thugs and demons.

I assume you don't want to go there?

Why would I go there?

OK.

I get it.

That was weird.

What was he talking about?

You're giving me the cold shoulder?

What do you think?

Should I be staying here

and admiring the moon with you

in the middle of the night

like I'm your bestie?

Wait.

Since His Highness Jun liked your Phoenix Tea so much,

I tried my hands at making it, too.

I don't know if I got the flavor right.

Could you try it for me?

Are you out of your mind?

Didn't you try to eat me alive this morning?

We grew up together,

and yet I've never been your equal.

Your name is widely known.

Everyone calls you a beauty with unparalleled talent.

Nobody knows that I'm a lady of the Feng family, too.

I want to be in the Crown Prince's good graces

and make my parents proud.

Please help me out this once.

Alright.

Your tea tastes horrible.

You need to practice more.

Ask Qiu Ling for help if you like.

I need to rinse my mouth.

Jun Linyuan,

let's get drunk tonight.

Come here.

I don't know what happened.

He kept fidgeting when he came back,

muttering

that love is a torment.

I guess

some young lady has broken his heart.

How come

a handsome gentleman

like me,

the man of numerous girls' dreams,

has failed to win her heart?

Why does she have to fall for you?

Why am I the one who gets jilted?

He's in a drunken fit.

Leave him be.

You're not bad.

You'll get your chance.

Yeah?

You mean

Feng Wu will change her mind

and choose me over you,

right?

Feng Wu?

Feng Wu.

I've always found her a pretty girl.

Now that we've grown up,

I still find her agreeable.

How come this interesting girl

who knows

how to cure the sick

and how to cook

has to fall for you,

Jun Linyuan?

She'll become your wife,

and she won't be able to keep me company

or cook for me.

Did she tell you she's in love with me?

Qiu Ling is the one closest to her.

What she said must be true.

Boss Jun,

stop smirking.

Feng Xun is as drunk as a skunk.

Please stop him.

Why would I stop him?

I'm in a good mood.

I could use a drink, too.

We could also use a drink in a bad mood.

Come on, Feng Xun.

I'll drink with you.

Cheers.

Xuan Yi, come and join us,

although you are just

a silly bookworm

who loves nothing but books

and knows little about the torment of love.

Have I got food poisoning

from the horrible tea

Feng Liu made?

No.

I need to lie down for a while.

Feng Xun,

haven't you heard

that there are houses of gold

and gorgeous women in books?

What can I say?

I told you to read more books years ago,

but you wouldn't listen.

If you were well-read,

you wouldn't have been despised by the girls.

Do you know?

It's OK.

I'll help you.

I'll help you

get a better girl.

You don't understand.

There aren't any better girls.

Prettier girls

can't cure the sick.

Girls more skilled in the art of healing

aren't as interesting as she is.

Girls who are more interesting

don't know how to make Phoenix Tea.

But she has to be in love with Jun Linyuan.

How could I steal Boss Jun's fiancee?

I'd never do that to my good buddy.

What is it?

Be careful.

Feng Wu.

Bi Youfu!

Be quiet.

What are you doing here?

Keep your voice down.

What do you think I'm doing here?

Don't touch me.

Don't... Don't kick me in the chin.

Don't come any closer.

Don't kick me in the chin.

Would you stop doing this?

Feng Wu.

Jun Linyuan.

Feng Xun has done so much for you.

You've got to marry Feng Wu

as soon as possible.

Don't let Feng Xun down, OK?

That's right.

OK.

I'm off to propose to her.

Be a man and do it right now.

Do it.

Do it.

Bravo.

Set an example for us.

Set an example.

We'll be waiting for your return.

Your return.

Xuan Yi.

You have to choke me, huh?

Feng... Feng Wu. You...

Feng Wu.

Couldn't you spare my face?

Be gentle with me, OK?

Who is it?

Since you've got a visitor now,

I'll come back for a drink another day.

Get lost!

Bye.

What do you want?

It's me.

Forget all the unpleasant things.

Tomorrow is another day.

You'll still be that fearless Feng Wu.

All your troubles

will disappear.

Don't be afraid.

I'll take care of you.

We were destitute

when I first came here.

Mom and Qiu Ling

needed my attention.

You're the only one

who tells me, "Don't be afraid.

I'll take care of you."

You've fallen asleep?

I'm sorry about this.

I will marry you as soon as possible.

I won't treat you shabbily in every aspect.
