No Boundary

Episode 14

Let's get this done and call it a day.

I've something else to attend to later.

What's it about?

Something bad happened?

I'll be taking Duanmu for a walk later.

Lord Zhan.

I want to file a complaint.

Ever since you and Sect Leader Duanmu

have been together,

you no longer sleep, have meals and solve cases

with me.

Do you know

how cruel that is to me?

Don't blame it on me.

You could always find yourself a company.

But I'm afraid

that'll be quite difficult.

Since a perfect maiden

as described in

the Book of Songs pretty much doesn't exist

in this world.

Yan Yan.

You've been eavesdropping on

my conversation with Godmother?

I'm telling Godfather.

You'll be losing a month's wage.

Well, I just happened to be

around the corner and overheard it.

Around the corner?

Yan Yan.

Ever since you and Sect Leader Duanmu

have been together,

you've changed for the worse.

Once you've found the one,

you'll change too.

I'll change too?

For good or for worse?

Yan Yan.

You're making me paranoid.

You haven't finished explaining yet.

Yan Yan.

The one?

Where could mine

possibly be?

Zhuque Street

Sugar figurines here.

Sugar figurines.

Variety of sugar figurines.

Would you like one?

Sure.

Thank you so much.

Have a look.

Have a look here, young lady.

I'll get that.

Thank you.

Let's get that too.

Hold on.

Zhan Yan.

Will this make you broke?

What if you run out of money

and you can't take care of me anymore?

Don't worry.

You

and your little spirits

will be taken care by me.

You really can?

Of course.

I have the pay from my job

along with the bonuses from the imperial court.

Both will be about...

800 taels.

I'm an immortal

but you have more money than me?

But I'm an immortal. How could this be?

Thank you, madam.

Here you go, Lord Zhan.

Since you've got

so much money to spare,

I'll help you spend them then.

Let's go.

Over here.

Is it pretty?

Not as pretty as you.

Don't move. Don't move.

This feels nice.

Duanmu.

Zhan Yan.

You did that on purpose?

What if I fell into the water?

You won't.

What if I really fell into the water?

I know you won't end up in the water.

What if it really happened?

♫ Make a wish ♫

♫ I'll travel the world with you ♫

♫ We'll admire the sceneries ♫

♫ For years up till eternity ♫

♫ We'll bend our affections ♫

♫ And tie it between our fingers ♫

♫ We'll spend our time together ♫

♫ For days and nights in years away ♫

♫ Drawings can't capture your beauty ♫

♫ Or my yearning for you ♫

♫ Affections cannot be severed ♫

♫ Though we are worlds apart ♫

Slow down.

You scared me.

I would never

let you fall into the water.

♫ I want to see this world with you ♫

Then again,

♫ Know that I only smile for you ♫

♫ Bright lights illuminate the night sky ♫

if that really happened,

♫ And we shall be together ♫

I would fall with you.

♫ Make a wish ♫

♫ I'll travel the world with you ♫

♫ We'll admire the sceneries ♫

♫ For years up till eternity ♫

♫ We'll bend our affections ♫

♫ And tie it between our fingers ♫

♫ We'll spend our time together ♫

♫ For days and nights in years away ♫

Zhan Yan.

Since you've chosen

to be with Duanmu,

you'll face the dire consequences of your choice.

As of today,

I'll officially be your enemy

till the day you disappear from Duanmu's side.

Am I not up to par with Zhan Yan?

Tell me.

Which parts am I inferior to him?

High Immortal Wengu.

In my heart,

no one is superior than you.

But that's not how Duanmu feels.

She only has eyes on Zhan Yan.

I've waited a thousand years for her.

Now I've become a joke.

I am now

the most pathetic joke in this world.

High Immortal, you're drunk.

Let me be.

High Immortal.

Please stop drinking.

Everyone will be worried about you.

Worried?

She won't be worrying about me.

In her eyes and heart,

there's only Zhan Yan.

But I'll be worried for you.

Please stop disparaging yourself like this.

Sect Leader Duanmu isn't the only one in this world...

No.

Only Duanmu Cui matters.

From the day my mother died,

she's all I have left in this world.

No one can snatch her away from me.

No one!

Are you mad?

You're trying to cast a storm

to flood Qifeng City?

If Penglai gets hold of

your Dragon Clan identity,

they won't show you mercy.

Show me no mercy?

Without Duanmu,

there is no place

for me in this world.

You think I care about Penglai?

My Penglai only exists

with her around me.

Zhuque Street

This brewing storm seems odd.

Did the Ghost Clan do this?

Sheriff.

Should we get Sect Leader Duanmu?

Not everything has to do with the Ghost Clan.

Stop freaking out over it.

Zhang Long, Zhao Wu.

Go and check out those streets.

I'll head over to the shore.

Over there.

Fortify the dam.

Noted.

Divine Doctor Wengu.

Why are you here?

Zhan Yan.

Are you happy now?

What is this about?

This is all because of you.

Qifeng City will soon be a pool of water.

All of its life forms will perish.

I don't get what you mean.

It's raining too heavily here.

You should head home immediately.

Zhan Yan.

You're the culprit of this disaster.

The sinner of Qifeng City.

You're drunk.

Let's get you back to Duanmu Residence.

Don't you ever bring up Duanmu.

You have no right at all.

You're just a mortal

with a lifespan of less than 100 years.

She's a high immortal.

You two should've never been together.

This is in defiance of the Heavens.

There will be divine punishment.

Ever since you appeared,

she has never had a single peaceful day.

You think...

You think this is natural catastrophe?

You're wrong.

This is a man-made calamity!

Man-made calamity?

What do you mean?

Lord Zhan, he's drunk.

I'll get him back.

You better remember.

Let's go.

You've caused Qifeng City to suffer.

It's all your fault.

You've brought upon suffering on them!

High Immortal.

And this is the consequence!

Let's go.

High Immortal.

High Immortal.

That's bad.

Master.

Thank goodness you and High Immortal Wengu are here.

Did you know

I almost became a broken bowl?

Don't worry.

With the barrier conjured by me and Duanmu,

no harm will reach Duanmu Residence.

Besides Duanmu Residence,

I'm worried about Qifeng City too.

This rain is raging too heavily.

Qifeng is an old city.

I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand this disaster.

Those old geezers up in Penglai must be drinking again.

Don't they know about this disaster?

Penglai has been so since forever.

Wengu.

There's something odd about this storm.

Did you notice anything suspicious?

Although Qifeng City faces the sea,

there's never been

such a horrendous storm.

I suspect

there's a descendent of the Dragon Clan hiding amidst Qifeng City.

I wonder if Penglai should know about this?

Don't worry.

After the battle with the Ghost Clan one thousand years ago,

the Dragon Clan bloodline has ended.

With you here,

no one dares to run amok in Qifeng City.

This probably is

some rain-casting blunder by the God of Thunder and God of Rain.

These immortals up in Penglai...

They're careless in their duties

and quick to put the blame on others.

Even if I interfere,

I might get scolded instead.

Fine.

Wengu.

You're close with the God of Thunder and God of Rain.

Could you ask them about this?

Be it natural or man-made disaster,

as long as I'm here,

I won't let Qifeng City be harmed.

You're so concerned about the citizens.

That's for sure.

Those that I have to protect,

I shall do so till the very end.

Alright, I'll help you.

You're a loyal ally.

Zhan Yan?

Duanmu.

The storm is getting heavier.

I'm afraid a tsunami will hit soon.

You and the others should head to somewhere else safe

to protect yourselves.

Where are you?

This rain is pouring so heavily.

Where are you heading to?

To save the people.

My Lord.

Stop saving these documents.

The rain is too heavy.

The prefecture is an old building.

I'm afraid it won’t hold much longer.

Let's retreat to somewhere safer.

These are the prefecture's hundred years of archives.

They must be preserved.

But sir...

My Lord.

Leave this task to us.

Take Madam and leave first.

No way.

You two take her to safety.

I'll go later.

-My Lord. -My Lord.

Leave it to us.

Go quickly.

My Lord.

My Lord, something has happened.

What is it?

Due to the heavy rain,

the city structures are badly damaged

and many are injured and dead.

Summon all the prefecture guards.

Go to the streets with me to help the people.

My Lord.

It's dangerous outside.

All the more reason to be there.

I, as the local magistrate,

must not hide during times like this.

The people need me

to feel reassured.

My Lord.

I'll go with you.

At a dire time like this,

the city needs all the help it can get.

I may not know martial arts,

but I can help with registering and keeping record

on the people's losses

as well as distributing relief supplies.

Good.

Little fellow.

Stay put.

Wait for me here.

Let's head out.

Spread out and help the people.

Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Hang in there, little one.

Divine Doctor Wengu.

Please help my son.

Please.

Thank you, Divine Doctor Wengu.

Thank you.

Over here, quick.

High Immortal.

Duanmu is so devoted towards Qifeng City's safety.

But I almost destroyed everything

due to a momentary slip of thought.

Sect Leader will definitely find a way out of this.

The rain has stopped.

All will return back to normal.

All this while,

she's been exhausting her powers

to help protect and save

the people of Qifeng City.

But I haven't been of any help to her.

High Immortal.

You've spent your powers

behind the scenes,

healing so many that were injured.

You've tried your best to compensate for your past mistakes.

With so many parties helping out,

I believe

we'll make it through safely together.

Let's go.

Everyone move quickly.

Evacuate immediately.

Faster!

Move quickly.

Faster!

Duanmu, we've got to leave now.

The storm is returning.

Another round of storm is coming.

How can an immortal flee

while a mortal stays behind?

Leave now.

I'll handle it.

I'll stay by you.

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Zhan Yan, leave here quickly.

You're getting in the way.

I'll get distracted.

Leave now.

I can't help you

in magic.

But at least I can shield you.

Leave now.

Zhan Yan!

Duanmu.

In life or death,

I'll always be with you.

Zhan Yan.

What you said just now...

Say it again.

Till the end of time,

we will never part.

Zhuque Street

Duanmu.

Duanmu.

Duanmu.

Duanmu.

How is she?

Wengu.

How is Duanmu?

Very bad.

How could this be?

I warned you before, Lord Zhan.

You two cannot be together.

The closer you are to her,

more harm shall come her way.

I

caused her to suffer.

She is a high immortal.

She is forbidden from

having romantic feelings.

She is now unconscious

because of you.

Should you two choose to stay together,

the Heavens shall punish you both.

She will then...

What will happen to her?

She'll perish

forever.

Impossible.

Duanmu never mentioned that

a mortal being together with an immortal

would result in such consequences.

That is because...

She isn't aware about it herself.

What do you mean by that?

Thousand years ago,

Duanmu was once a female general from the human race.

Her then fiance, Gu Chang,

was also a general.

Gu Chang had Chong City as a dowry

to marry her.

Unexpectedly,

things didn't turn out that way.

Her fiance died in the battlefield.

Duanmu set out for war in grieve,

only to die in it tragically.

A single promise

caused the death of thousands of soldiers.

Ultimately, she had to bear

the emotional debts of thousands of people.

The pain was excruciating

and made her mentally unstable.

Even after she was granted divine status

and became an immortal,

she still couldn't forgive herself.

The Goddess had no other way but to

seal her love debt memories

to help her stabilize

and let it pass the last thousand years.

Yet,

you've made her fall in love once more.

I...

I...

Once she remembers all of it,

her soul won't be able to handle

those painful memories.

Her life will be a living hell.

The rupturing of the seal

is a sign of her imminent nemesis.

This could all backfire

and lead to her eternal perishment.

All of this is true?

Should this be a lie,

I willingly die by thunderbolts.

Zhan Yan.

Should you have any conscience left,

on behalf of her contributions

towards you and Qifeng City,

please spare her life.

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan.

Duanmu.

As long as I'm alive,

I won't let harm come your way.

Zhuque Street

Sugar figurines here.

Sugar figurines.

I'll buy it for you.

Zhan Yan.

Do you think

this looks like our own place together?

I've always been alone all this while.

Right now,

I guess the company of two sounds like a good idea.

From now on,

Qifeng Prefecture will be our home.

Also the residence,

Wengu, Hong Luan,

little Qing Hua, Little Medicine Vase,

they'll be part of our family.

Boss.

I'll place the money over here.

Lord Zhan.

Lord Zhan.

It's getting chiller in the night.

Come have some osmanthus egg to warm yourself up.

Lord Zhan, here you go.

Please enjoy.

These Goji berries though...

I don't particularly enjoy them.

Zhan Yan.

Should you have any conscience left,

on behalf of her contributions

towards you and Qifeng City,

please spare her life.

Duanmu.

How are you feeling?

Does your head still hurt?

Wengu.

What's the matter with me?

Oh, Qifeng City...

Don't worry.

Qifeng City is safe now.

Safe?

You saved the citizens.

You should get more rest.

Take care of your health.

I'm fine.

What about Zhan Yan?

Where is he?

Lord Zhan has left.

I'm still here.

Where else can he be?

Lord Zhan seems to be

really busy to the point he's neglected you.

After the disaster,

Zhan Yan has to handle

lots of matters on his own.

He really is busy now.

For Zhan Yan,

the safety of Qifeng City is more important than yours.

Don't you feel unappreciated?

What's wrong with that?

After all, I'm an immortal.

Heavenly duties and justice

should naturally be prioritized over love.

I don't just wait

for my man's return

every day.

We have our own duties to fulfil.

I know of his,

and he understands mine.

Is that true?

If I were him,

be it the inversion of day and night,

or the overturning of earth and sky,

I would never neglect you for a single moment.

This isn't neglect.

It's a sign of how our souls are linked together.

And also...

What?

We're kindred spirits.

General Cui defeated the Ghost Clan,

and was rewarded for her merits.

General Cui

was in love with General Gu.

General Gu died in Chong City.

She carried his body and stormed her enemies.

She died in the end.

Wengu

was telling the truth.

Sect Leader Duanmu.

Yan Yan is not here.

Not here?

Have you fully recovered?

I'm after all an immortal.

I can't be resting for too long.

Where is he?

He?

He went to

monitor the post-disaster recovery progress.

I'll go to him.

Yan Yan is really busy right now.

If you were there,

he would be distracted.

That makes sense.

With his heart and mind all over me,

it's quite inevitable right?

If that's the case...

You can head home first.

I'll wait for him over there.

Sect Leader Duanmu.

I see you're enjoying the tea.

Lord Zhan said that

while the disaster was relentless,

it didn't break the people's spirits.

Soon,

it'll be the post disaster's

first Double Seventh Festival.

Zhuque Street will be having

a theatrical troupe over there.

Would you like to see it?

Double Seventh Festival?

Is it fun?

Incredibly fun.

It's fine.

Zhan Yan is working hard day and night.

How could I possibly enjoy fun on my own?

You go ahead.

Qifeng Prefecture

Sect Leader Duanmu.

You mentioned previously about

being my matchmaker, right?

I'm free today.

Matchmaking?

Sure.

Get up.

Why isn't she getting up?

Hold on.

I didn't even get to meet Zhan Yan.

I don't have the mood for matchmaking.

Go have fun with Shangguan Ce.

Alright.

Now I get it.

You are all jealous of me and Zhan Yan

being a lovely couple.

So, you're trying to come between us?

No, I wouldn't dare.

You two miss each other crazy

even just for a day.

You two are literally inseparable.

It's impossible to keep you two apart.

Just one day?

It's been a few since I've seen him.

Zhan Yan seems to be busy.

Why are you idling around here?

Lord Zhan has managed

most of the matters.

That's why we're not busy.

Not busy? You tell me.

We'll be off to work.

Have some snacks.

You're the most tactful one.

Once I'm not that busy,

I'll help you with your thread of marriage.

Thread of marriage?

Which kind of partner?

A bit inferior to me.

But she'll still be pretty and generous.

A rare catch.

That won't be necessary.

I want to live a few more years.

Someone like you will be great.

Thank you for your help.

Lord Shangguan.

What's wrong with Qifeng Prefecture?

Why isn't Zhan Yan back yet?

Zhan Yan has been dispatched to patrol the riverbank in the next district.

He won't be back today.

Has the sky fallen upon Qifeng City?

Why can't Zhan Yan get a moment of rest?

Although he's intelligent, capable,

handsome and an all-rounder,

you can't work him out like this.

I...

We at Qifeng Prefecture

are actually super busy and under-staffed.

How about this?

You head back to your residence first.

Once Yan Yan has returned,

I'll immediately inform you.

How does that sound?

The pretty and gracious Lady Duanmu.

Have a safe trip, Lady Duanmu.

Yan Yan.

What's with you

and Sect Leader Duanmu these days?

You've been avoiding her lately.

Now you're watching her from afar.

What are you planning anyway?

Yan Yan.

I'd like you to have this.

It's hideous.

Regardless you'll still have to keep it.

And you're not to ever lose it.

I'll keep it safe.

It looks like you.

You're saying I look hideous?

You're prettier.

That's more like it.

Is your leg better?

Yes, it is.

I'm just a little tired.

We should be done for today.

Go and rest.

Let's go.

Rest well.

I'll stand guard outside.

Zhan Yan.

You're not accompanying me?

We are not married.

It won't be decent to stay together.

You're mean.

After all, I've been tiring myself all day

helping Qifeng City.

Fine then.

Being an immortal,

I end up wondering why I worn myself out

helping all these people.

While I'm tired down to my last breath,

there isn't anyone who's willing to stay behind with me.

I shall fall asleep all by my own then.

Alright.

I'll stay by your side.

Zhan Yan.

You're so nice.

Don't secretly leave.
