[The Starry Night, The Starry Sea: 2]

[Episode 07]

Yin Hu o Yin Hu, if you are leaving, then just leave.

You insist on making circles in my head?

I only wrote a love poem for someone today!

But when I thought of you, I wrote her a heartbreak poem!

The balls are overcooked.

Ma Dachun! That hurts!

When did you come here?

I came to pick up my things, and saw the place was a mess, so I helped you clean up!

W-what I said just now wasn't serious! Don't take it seriously!

Take this!

If it was true, you'd be lying under my fist by now!

Then...you left too quickly last time, so I didn't get to ask. Where are you staying and how are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good. You don't need to worry.

I still have something to do in the shipyard. I will be leaving now.

It was so hard for you to return. You won't stay and chat for a little while?

Stay for a little while!

[Chang Le Lu Manor]

My Lord.

Stop!

What is up with this chest?

This chest was broken, so I had them take it to be fixed.

Where is Miss?

Miss...

Just where did Miss go?

Miss...

Before Li Yi left, he gifted Guo Xiaoyu a poem.

Next year spring, at the third month, I will marry my love.

Reuniting in Zhengxian and never separating.

And then?

Then...

I didn't continue reading the story.

But...I can guess what happened. Li Yi must have married Huo Xiao Yu after returning home.

They happily got married and were happy together forever.

It's getting late. Let's go.

It was so hard for me to come see you! I don't know how long I have to wait for my next chance.

I will go visit your home very soon.

It won't be long before we see each other again.

When that happens...

Ah Li!

-Brother...-Come here!

Come here!

Big brother...

Jiu Feng! Bring Miss home.

Yes.

A fine looking and highly esteemed man. Looks like the taste of my little sister is not bad.

You are exaggerating.

You know Lu Li well.

You do have some fate with my family.

I know the most famous matchmaker in Chang Le.

I will tell her next time to introduce some ladies with illustrious family background to you.

-I'm afraid you have misunderstood.-The one who misunderstood is you.

Lu Li and you can never be together.

Your love for Lu Li will cost you your life.

You better know to stop your horse before it falls into the cliff, while it is still not too late.

Qiufeng, the punishment stick.

My Lord!

My Lord! Please stop!

You've never dared to touch Miss before!

How could you bear to hit her?

-Do you know what you did wrong?-I did nothing wrong!

I just have someone I like!

I'd like to ask you, Brother!

I want to see the one I like and be with him!

What is wrong with that?

Lady, just say some apologetic words.

Stop arguing!

I really did nothing wrong! Even if he kills me, I want to be with Wu Julan!

My Lord! Stop! My Lord!

My Lord is too cruel. How could he beat you like this?

Is he really your brother?

Mr. Qin.

What happened?

Zi Xuan! Hurry and bring the medicine here.

Why did Lord Lu punish you like this?

It's because Miss sneaked out to see Wu Julan!

But Miss, I can't believe you. My Lord was furious, and you insisted on arguing with him!

Weren't you just asking to be beaten?

What are you doing?

Actually, Lord Lu didn't intend to punish you.

Just apologize to him-

I won't apologize to anyone for this!

Even if you are this seriously hurt,

you still will not give up?

Ah Li.

Do you reallylove Wu Julan that much?

I am willing to accept everything he will bring me.

Including happiness, sorrow,

fortune, and struggles.

What are you doing?

Don't you know that my Young Master likes your Miss?

How could you talk about Wu Julan in front of him?

- Is that not deliberately agitating him?- So what if I am?

The feelings of your Young Master to my Young Lady is unrequited love.

Since there is no affection, why not tell him earlier?

If you rashly try to put them together, that is wasting time and affection!

You are really such a frank person.

You totally do not understand romantic matters.

If I don't get it, do you?

Look at you. Looking so down to earth.

How can you be related to being romantic at all?

I...am a classic example of the honest and loyal look.

-Do you have to be that frank?-Am I?

I have something even more frank.

Erliang, let me tell you. Stop giving me those perverted looks. It will not work.

I...already belong to someone!

If you look too much, be careful of having sties.

You...you belong to someone already?!

I could not be that hypocrite from the lantern parade last time, right?

Try saying something bad about Brother Gengzhi again!

-If you promise not to hit me, I'll keep talking!-I-!

Young Master, I dragged Zi Xuan away just now,

where you able to benefit from it?

How was it? When you were alone with Miss Lu,

did you make any progress?

You were rejected? That's okay!

Rejection is not a big deal. I was rejected too!

But Young Master, we have temporarily lost,

but as long as we work hard to continue the pursuit,

we can definitely catch up!

No.

Starting from today, I want to take my love for Ah Li

and hide it in my heart.

Since Ah Li deeply loves Wu Julan and thinks she will be happiest with him,

then I am willing to give up and let them be together.

Young Master, you don't like her anymore?

I love Ah Li!

But my love has nothing to do with her.

If she is happy and at peace,

then I have no regrets.

Young Master, in this world, you are the only man that is this good!

If I were a woman, I'd definitely marry you!

Let's go.

My Lord, you were looking for me?

Go and prepare immediately. Attack right now.

Follow our plan.

Wu Julan and his people are too annoying.

We must get rid of them immediately!

-My Lord, isn't this too much of a rush?-How ridiculous!

How dare you question the orders of Lord?!

Yes yes yes, I understand. I will go do it right away.

I am just worried...this is such a dangerous task.

If we act rashly, what if...

There is no what if. My Lord's plan is perfect. Nothing can go wrong, understand?

That's good, that's good.

If you understand, then take action!

Yes, I will take my leave.

I definitely will not let Ah Li

hold any illusory hopes towards Wu Julan anymore!

Put it over there, let's go.

Hurry up! We still have a pile of work in the dock!

I wonder what is going on.

There is suddenly a big pile of wood getting transported from the north and they even want us to deliver these to the southern beach.

That's right, it's orchid wood. It's clearly to be used to make ships

But I didn't hear about any plans to build a ship.

-We asked last time but they were mean and wouldn't answer.-Just don't ask!

We only want to earn money, why bother being nosy?

Who has the time to be so nosy? Get to work.

There are no plans to build a ship,

but they ship wood that is used to make ships.

This is indeed very strange.

This is the beach in the southern part of the city.

It is not far from the western side of our shipyard. This place is full of breakwater rocks.

The water is very calm here too. Based on my observations earlier,

The territorial waters here can allow a draught of 30 feet.

It is also not advantageous for big ships to get stranded here. And also, the sand here is very flat.

It is very suitable to build infrastructures or platforms here.

So, in the entire Chang Le, besides our shipyard,

this is the best place to build a ship.

The secret shipyard of Liu Mantang

is probably there!

But this beach in the southern side of the city is at least several miles wide.

The beachside is covered in a deep forest. If the shipyard is hidden there,

I can't pinpoint where it is right now.

Prince, I recognize the workers who were shipping the wood.

Why don't we secretly follow them?

Limes, Chinese wood oil, sail fabric,

ropes, they most likely are creating boats.

Looks like this is indeed the lair of Liu Mantang.

This is a trap. The hands of those ship laborers have calluses.

- They have very stable footing.- That's right.

Those people transporting the wood oil looks unacquainted with their work.

They are definitely assassins!

My Lord, they have taken the bait.

All warfare is based on deception.

Real or fake, true or not.

Wu Julan, you will die today!

Miss, this is freshly made ginseng soup.

-Miss!-Zi Xuan, it seems like something is going to happen.

Everything is calm right now. What could happen?

It's Wu Julan. I feel like Wu Julan is in trouble!

Miss! Don't curse Wu Julan!

It's all My Lord's fault. He hit you so much, he hurt your brain too!

Go to the shipyard right now to see if Wu Julan is safe or not!

Zhang Tiezhue, come over here and help!

Okay, let's go.

It stinks!

What is this? It's so stinky.

It's not just you. I've been a shipyard worker for over a decade,

but I've never seen this sort of thing before.

This is the congealed fat of merpeople.

What congealed fat of merpeople?

This is the secret in creating the Cangming.

-Come! There is not enough here! Bring some more.-Yes.

Bring him here!

Kill him.

Attack!

- Hurry and inform Lord Lu. Tell them to immediately send more help!- Yes!

Hurry! Lure them to the beach!

Yes! Withdraw to the beach!

After them!

After them!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Kill them! Kill them all!

Those who kill the mer people will be greatly compensated!

Those that will escape midway will be executed!

Kill!

Ming Zhu! Run!

What is going on? Have you seen Wu Julan?

Miss, don't be nosy! You must escape!

Hurry and run! Hurry!

I got it.

Yes.

Take some men to move the ship and the remaining merpeople.

As for Liu Man Tang,

since there is trouble, we have to find a scapegoat.

I understand.

Picking mulberry is laborious but also leisurely. Let us go back to our home together.

Such a good countryside scenery. Talking about those ladies picking the mulberries--

Miss! Miss!

Miss! Miss, this is bad, there's trouble!

What's happened? Where's Wu Julan? Is he alright?

The shipyard! There's trouble at the shipyard!

Miss!

There's trouble at the shipyard?

I still have things to do at the shipyard. I'll be leaving now.

Yin Hu?

Miss! Wait for me!

-There's no need to chase after her.-Wait for me!

Let her go.

Yes.

Hurry!

Move faster!

Men! Take the merfolk away!

Yes!

Go! Go! Go!

-Begin!-Yes!

Ma Dachun! Ma Dachun! Wake up!

A mermaid! A mermaid! Help! A mermaid murdered someone!

Don't come over here! I won't play nice!

Ma Dachun! Just try and say that again!

Now useless!

Miss, it's dangerous here! Let's hurry and go!

Let's go!

Miss! Run!

-Miss!-Zi Xuan! It's dangerous here, come with me!

You merpeople trying to go against me?! Still a bit soft.

I won't interfere.

If I don't know your name, how can I get payback?

Julan.

Julan? What's your surname?

I don't have one.

Wu? Wu Julan?

You lecture me using so many righteous reasons. How about you then? How come you were unable to produce a work permit?

I...

You said that the ocean is very deep and mysterious.

Then besides that, what else is there?

There's also me.

I should have guessed a long time ago!

Attack!

Tell me!

Where is the High Priest?

If you dare to touch a hair on my head, you'll all die with me!

You want me to die with you?

Let's see if you have the ability to do that!

Don't don't don't! Let's talk!

Where is the High Priest?!

I really can't tell you!

- Wu Julan.- Lu Li.

Wu Julan, let him go.

No matter what he did wrong, you can't kill him!

This person's hands are stained with merfolk blood!

Even if it's like that, can I still not kill him?

I...

Don't listen to him!

I never killed merfolk before!

It's always been...

Save me...

This has always been...Lu...

What did you say?

He's dead.

Go back. This isn't the place you should come to.

Wu Julan, don't go.

My people are there.

Do not be overzealous in fighting! Withdraw!

Prince, what should we do?

Don't panic.

Everyone come with me!

I'll distract them. Take everyone away.

No! I should go!

This is an order! Do you dare to defy my order?

Go!

Let's go! Hurry and go!

That way! After him!

Hurry!

Hurry! Don't let him escape!

You all go over there!

-Yes!-Yes!

Everyone else come with me!

[Cold Wood Spring Flower]

Who told me to be so magnanimous and read so many books written by sages?

I'm telling you, I didn't save you because I didn't want to see you die. It's all to maintain my

lofty image of being a savior of mankind.

You're awake.

If you scare me to death, then just continue lying like a corpse here alone.

I guess I'll have to finish what I started!

Where's my medicine?

[Chang Le Lu Manor]

My Lord.

How are things going?

Replying to Lord, the ship and the merpeople have all been transferred.

I also have unified the statements to be said by the men of Liu Mantang. If the local official will ask them,

they will all say that what happened today in the shipyard are all because of the wild side of the merpeople acting up.

I got it. Everything almost went to waste this time.

You must be more careful in the future. You must not underestimate the merfolk.

Yes, I got it.

Ah Li. Is she safe?

Miss has returned home safely. But

I'm afraid she's been terribly frightened tonight.

That's alright. I hope that after this,

Ah Li can fully give up on Wu Julan.

Miss, don't be too sad.

Wu Julan is a merman,

but his identity still has a "man" in it!

Lady, I heard that the big spotted cat in Auntie Liu's house has given birth to a lot of kittens.

How about we go play with them?

Zi Xuan.

I want to be alone.

Okay.

Wu Julan! Let's see where you'll run now!

Wu Julan was so seriously injured. I wonder how he's doing.

He's dying, he's dying!

Who's dying? Don't talk nonsense!

I'm not talking nonsense!

Miss, if you keep feeding them, the fish are going to explode!

Okay, okay, I won't feed them anymore.

Miss, My Lord has invited you.

Brother, you were looking for me?

Ah Li.

I just received news.

Wu Julan was part of last night's crime.

I always thought he was a bad person. I never thought that he was a merman.

Ah Li, did you already know?

He even kept this from you.

Forget it. Since you know who Wu Julan really is now,

from today on, don't see him anymore.

Brother,

I don't care if Wu Julan is a merman. He truly loves me.

Nonsense!

If he truly loved you, why didn't he tell you what he was?

He is clearly playing with you!

No! Wu Julan must have had his reasons!

I don't care what other people say. I trust him.

Shut your mouth! Kneel down!

How could you be foolish enough to talk in favor of the merfolk?

Kneel in front of Mother and Father and reflect on what you did!

Miss, I can't believe you.

How come you just are not willing to apologize to Lord?

Apologize? How am I going to apologize?

Should I lie and say that I have given up on Wu Julan?

Miss, I heard that last night, the merfolk were either injured or killed.

Wu Julan wouldn't have also-?

No! He'll be fine!

Even if he's fine, you're human

and he is a merman. You cannot have a happy ending.

Miss, you should forget him.

I want to leave the house. You're not allowed to follow me.

Miss! Where are you going?

You're awake. Do you feel better?

- Where are they?- Who?

Prince Julan, Jin Lin, and the other merfolk!

That hurts! I don't know, let go!

Shut up!

If you dare lure people to come here, I will kill you first!

Hey!

How could you repay merit with vengeance?

I shouldn't have repeatedly saved you!

You saved me?

Or else? You passed out from your injuries and sleep walked to my house?

You know that I am a mermaid.

Why did you save me?

Just wanted to save people.

To me, even if it was a puppy or a kitten,

I will do the same.

I was wrong, I'm sorry.

That's it?

What else is there?

Thank you. Thank you for saving me.

Informing Lord, I already investigated the matter and found out that the disturbance in the shipyard was due to the merpeople acting crazily.

After the matter, the merpeople that caused the disturbance have already dived into the seas and escaped arrest.

Why did the merfolk suddenly go crazy?

Merfolk were cruel creatures to begin with. Doing this is normal.

Thankfully, it was only a small disturbance this time.

In the future, I don't know what will happen.
