Dear Herbal Lord Season 2

Episode 2

You made all these foods?

Yeah.

You are a mortal now.

You can't survive on sunlight and water.

I didn't know and thought you were fussy about food.

From now on,

I will prepare

all your meals.

Herbal Lord, you are so nice to me.

Yummy.

Because I love you.

Why is my heart beating so fast?

Is something wrong with my heart?

Why did you hide from me?

I did not.

It happened repeatedly today.

Every time I went near you,

you pushed me away.

What's wrong?

You no longer want my herbal essence?

No.

It's not about the herbal essence.

Are the things you told me yesterday

lies?

No. I just...

I...

I was worried that I might faint again.

Faint?

I realized

that every time I absorbed your herbal essence,

my heart started beating fast,

too fast.

My heart beat so fast that I fainted

yesterday.

It was so embarrassing.

I wonder if there is something wrong

with my heart.

I'm sorry.

Silly Woad.

It's nothing to apologize for.

It's okay.

We have got plenty of time.

I will wait

until your heart

can take it.

Unknowingly,

I have lived in Herbal Lord Valley for more than half a month.

It feels like a dream.

You used to live here.

Why would it feel like a dream?

It's different this time.

You are with me this time.

What a handsome young man.

Such a charming guy.

He is really handsome.

Qingyun!

Yeah.

And he is affectionate.

Qingyun!

This guy is nice.

He is gentle,

unlike Herbal Lord

who is cold all the time.

You have no idea

Xiao Ziming's father

sent people out to catch Little Woad.

But Mr. Xiao

would defy his father

to find the woman he loves.

This is true love.

So romantic.

Stop.

You brats know nothing.

In my opinion,

Herbal Lord

is real husband material.

Look. Look.

Herbal Lord

even risked his life

for Little Woad.

A man like him

is worth marrying.

It's no use talking.

Let's vote.

Oh yeah.

We can pick Chu Zhimo

or Xiao Ziming.

Raise your hand to vote for Xiao Ziming.

Raise your hand to vote for Chu Zhimo.

Oh no.

Herbal Lord is feeling jealous again.

They can pick all they want.

I'm only marrying you.

Let's go back.

Yeah.

Master.

It's time for your medicine.

Master.

Days have gone by.

You still haven't recovered.

Yeah, Master.

You can't always depend on

the Life-Sustaining Pill to keep you alive.

Besides,

we are using up the Nascent Spirits

of the botanic immortals under our control.

Buyan,

bring all the remaining Nascent Spirits of the botanic immortals

to Wuwang Hall.

I will cultivate behind closed doors.

Nobody must disturb me

while I cultivate.

Yes.

Master.

What about Xiao Rui...

He is a useless piece of crap.

The reason that I haven't started cultivating

behind closed doors already is that I have been waiting

for him to bring Chu Zhimo and Jiang Qingyun to me.

And what has he done?

Where can two severely injured people

possibly run?

He can't even handle such a trivial matter.

How can I

depend on him?

Master, please calm down.

Be careful not to damage your health.

Recently, Xiao Rui

came to Xingshui Monastery's gate

to request an interview with you every day.

I won't see him.

Go tell him

to insist that Jiang Qingyun is a witch

and Herbal Lord

is her victim.

Spread the word around the city

and he won't need to worry about anything else.

Yes.

You came to me late at night.

Do you wish to lie in my bed?

Herbal Lord.

The moon is beautiful today.

Let me take you to someplace fun.

You are

a mortal now.

You no longer have a herbal fairy's body.

And it's late.

You should go to sleep.

Make an exception, please.

I will take you

to the most beautiful place in Herbal Lord Valley.

You only have one chance to see it every month.

Is the scenery really beautiful there?

You can see for yourself.

Come on.

I'm telling you,

I have never told anyone else

about this place.

Go forward.

Yes.

We are almost there.

It's so dark.

There is nothing to see.

It's extremely beautiful.

You'll be surprised, I promise.

Stop.

This is the place.

Three.

Two.

One.

Herbal Lord,

I didn't lie to you, did I?

Everything wonderful in my world

used to be short-lived like me.

Every day used to be filled with darkness.

Then this Little Woad showed up

and lit up the places

that used to be dark.

I almost forgot that life may be short,

but I was entitled to the wonderful things in this world.

I don't have much time left.

God knows when I will pass away.

But now I have you,

I'm not afraid of passing away.

I just need to cherish every moment with you at my side.

This way, I won't have any regret in this life.

Herbal Lord,

is it beautiful?

Very beautiful.

Really beautiful.

I didn't lie to you, did I?

You did not.

I have never seen anything so beautiful.

Of course.

Whenever I felt downhearted,

I came to this place.

I'm telling you,

this place is kind of my secret base.

Nobody else knows this place.

My life may be short,

but if I get to live

a carefree,

free and easy life like this,

I won't have any regret.

Bah.

Your life is not short.

Cut the nonsense.

You promised

to stay with me forever.

We botanic immortals

have a very long lifespan.

Master.

Let's go back.

You have walked a long way today.

No.

I must find Qingyun first.

If other people find her before me,

she might lose her life.

I searched this area with my people

in the daytime.

But I didn't find any trace of Qingyun.

No way.

She must be somewhere nearby.

I have a feeling.

Master.

Let's go back.

Herbal Lord has disappeared

in searching for Qingyun.

If anything bad happens to you,

who will govern Daxing City?

Yeah, Uncle Jiang.

How about this?

I will lead my people

and search this area thoroughly tomorrow.

Don't worry.

I won't let my father

find Qingyun first.

I need you two

to leave for a while.

Let me have some alone time.

[Father, I'm going to Herbal Lord Valley and will come home soon.]

Qingyun.

[Don't worry about me.]

Where are you?

You brat,

you promised to come home soon.

You brat,

where are you?

Your mother and I

were married for years

without a child.

Then I heard this ancient tree in Herbal Lord Valley

could work wonders.

I wasn't superstitious.

But your mother

came to worship this ancient tree

for multiple times behind my back.

Then miraculously,

we had you as our child.

Your mother was an unfortunate woman.

She didn't even get to see you

before passing away.

I doted on you

to make it up

to your mother.

Qingyun,

I know

you will be fine.

After you fell off the cliff,

no medicine could heal you.

But the indigowoad herb in Herbal Lord Valley

saved you.

It was fate's work.

Even fate

is protecting you.

Qingyun,

I know

you will be back.

Take care of yourself

out there.

Have meals on time.

It's chilly these days.

Don't catch a cold.

When you are done playing outside,

come home.

I will be waiting for you.

Qingyun.

Master.

Uncle Jiang,

Qingyun will be alright.

Be careful.

Dad.

We botanic immortals

never had parents.

I didn't know what kinship meant.

But as Jiang Qingyun,

I have such a good father.

Everyone in Daxing City knows

Lord Jiang's wife died of dystocia

and he only has one daughter.

Lord Jiang has played both the father role and the mother role

in bringing up

his daughter.

You are not Jiang Qingyun,

but you have felt his love, right?

I'm not Jiang Qingyun,

but Dad treats me like his real daughter.

I want to repay Dad in Jiang Qingyun's stead.

No matter where you go,

I will go with you.

Really?

Then let's return to Daxing City tomorrow.

We will bid farewell to Grandpa Tree Fairy and the others.

We can't

go back to Daxing City yet.

Why?

The bones.

Don't worry.

Since you want to go back,

I will find out the truth

and clear your name as soon as possible.

Herbal Lord.

Herbal Lord.

It smells like wine.

This is...

South Star.

It turns out someone in Daxing City is growing South Star.

It really is South Star.

Yes.

What is South Star?

Silly Woad,

I told you to read some medical books.

South Star is a toxic weed.

It's bitterly cold in nature.

But as a toxic weed, it can be used to treat

plenty of fatal illnesses.

Then South Star can be pretty effective.

You moron.

As a herb,

South Star can save people.

But it's very difficult to grow South Star.

Because...

Because those who grow South Star

will be poisoned by South Star unknowingly.

Then people will die in growing the herb.

Are those things

I saw

at the cave...

That's right.

Only the bones of the people

poisoned by South Star carry green patterns.

Whoever poisoned by South Star

will instantly turn into bones after death.

I can't believe there is someone so cruel

in Daxing City.

Do you know who did it?

Xiao Rui must have done it.

That old man is wicked.

He not only did bad things,

but also framed me.

I see you have learned.

Sure.

I'm so smart.

But Xiao Rui is a mortal.

How come he can cast deceptive spells?

Deceptive spells?

After I fell off the cliff,

I found traces of a deceptive spell.

No wonder you and Dad

didn't notice anything wrong about Herbal Lord Valley.

By the way,

I saw the array symbols of that deceptive spell

in the High Priest's Xingshui Monastery.

As I expected, Xiao Rui is working together with the High Priest.

Then are we coping with two enemies?

Don't worry.

After the last battle,

it will take months

for the High Priest to recover.

Now we need

to find evidence

and bring down Xiao Rui as soon as possible.

Bad news! Bad news!

Someone really came.

Don't be hot-headed.

It's unseemly.

Why are you brat here?

Go away.

As we expected,

the wine and joss paper were placed

at the cave entrance by a visitor.

We waited for a long time.

The visitor came here today.

It was an old man.

Can you track him?

Don't worry.

I can

find him anytime.

Alright.

I will get going now.

I want to go too.

Your identity is special.

You should stay here

to avoid alerting the enemy.

Let me go there first.

Okay?

Okay.

Be careful.

Let's go.

You useless pieces of crap.

A month has gone by

and you still haven't caught those two people.

What can you do?

My lord,

we have searched every corner

of Daxing City.

We have also searched all the passes every day and night.

But Herbal Lord

and Miss Jiang are nowhere to be found.

How about the Herbal Lord Valley?

I have led people in searching Herbal Lord Valley every day and night.

And I have found nothing.

What did the High Priest say?

The High Priest

is still cultivating behind closed doors.

This is a great opportunity

to eliminate Chu ZHimo.

We must not allow him to rise again.

Hear me out.

Carry out a search.

Leave nothing out, not even a leaf in Herbal Lord Valley.

Yes.

Dad.

How did it go?

After searching for several days,

I have found nothing.

I heard that you

have kept the old man Jiang company recently.

I went to him

because he had lost his daughter

and he was lonely and helpless.

Ziming,

you need to think twice before taking action.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Yes.

Good.

Keep in mind

that you are my son.

Remember who you are.

Brother.

Brother.

You really haven't found Jiang Qingyun?

No.

Brother,

if you have found Jiang Qingyun,

Dad might spare her life

for your sake.

But if you keep her whereabouts from Dad,

do you think

Dad will let her live?

Cut the nonsense.

Brother,

I suggest that you give up.

Under these circumstances,

Jiang Qingyun...

I have things to do.

I just talked about her.

You shouldn't treat me this way.

I wouldn't bother talking to you again.

You'd better watch your step.

Herbal Lord is a good fighter.

Nothing bad will happen to him.

Grandpa Tree Fairy.

Don't think too much.

Fate has made arrangements

for everyone.

By the way,

now that you returned to Herbal Lord Valley,

are you used to the life here?

Yes.

But

I will leave soon.

Grandpa.

What's the matter?

Your Soul of Love.

Soul of Love?

I don't have the Soul of Love, do I?

You didn't have it before.

But now

I'm sensing a faint trace

of the Soul of Love

which is blending into your body gradually.

Really?

My Soul of Love

is the reason

that I blushed, my temperature rose,

and my heart beat faster?

Now you have married him,

you only concern yourself with him.

Grandpa.

Herbal Lord,

you are back.

Maybe everything

is fate's work.

No. Listen to me.

-Listen to me. -Listen to me.

You are wrong.

-Listen to me. -Listen to me.

Stop.

Listen to me.

We must make it grand,

high-profile

and imposing.

Tomorrow morning,

you'll make a dignified return to Daxing City on horseback.

On both sides of the road, the soldiers will line up

and the civilians will welcome you.

Oh yeah.

If they see me being so aboveboard,

they will believe me for sure.

It won't work.

Everyone in Daxing City

thinks you are a monster now.

I have an idea.

Tomorrow, you'll get onto the stage at the village entrance

and weep, scream and threaten to kill yourself

in front of the people.

You should tell hem

a villain did all that

and you are framed.

Okay. Okay.

I have great acting skills.

They will believe me for sure.

It won't work.

The people of Daxing City

will think you are a monster

trying to frame a person.

In my opinion,

don't bother.

Tomorrow morning,

I will catch a few monsters

and you will take them to the people of Daxing City

and show them what real monsters look like.

The contrast should be enough

for the people to see the truth.

Problem solved.

You are right.

I look

innocent and harmless.

They won't think I'm a monster.

It won't work.

If you do that,

the people of Daxing City will think

you are a monster

because you show up with monsters.

Then what should we do?

I have a plan.

You just need to listen to me.
