[The Starry Night, The Starry Sea: 2]

- Episode 19 -

Father, Mother, my uncles and aunties,

I am here to say farewell to you all.

From now on, I cannot visit you all often.

Father, Mother, today is the wedding day of Ah Li.

I already did everything that I have promised you two.

Father, Mother, if you are able to hear us in heaven,

please bless that Ah Li and her husband have a harmonious marriage

and be safe and sound for a lifetime.

Ah Li, you must remember.

Even if you are going to be someone else's wife now,

you are forever my little sister.

If Qin Hao dares to bully you, tell me.

I will surely teach him a lesson.

Older Brother, I can't bear to leave you.

Stupid child.

A grown man must marry, a grown woman must be married off.

How can you follow me forever?

Lord, the auspicious time has come.

The auspicious time has come!

Today is a day of celebration!

Our beautiful bride is getting married off!

The groom and bride are really a talented man and a beautiful woman.

The perfect combination!

The bride is being married off!

This Lu Li is totally not faithful!

She caused His Majesty to be in such a tragic state yet she is here happily being married off!

Forget it. Anyway, these grudges have nothing to do with us anymore.

Evil people like that will eventually get their retribution.

[Chang Le Prefectural Governor Manor]

The jade phoenix lifts its feet to cross over the fire pan.

The devils and fiends hide from both sides.

Happiness descends from the sky to the blessed home.

Perfect days will flourish.

One sandalwood carved into a jaded horse saddle.

If the newlyweds cross over it, their protection in every step will be ensured.

Newlyweds, cross over the fire pan and horse saddle.

First bow towards the heavens and earth.

Qin Hao, today, with the peach flower as our matchmaker, we are getting married.

Ah Li, I surely will marry you to be my wife when I grow up.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Second bow towards the parents.

Even if I know that I am being used, I am still willing to do it.

Even if I know that the consequence will be grave, I will still proceed without hesitation.

I only followed my heart

in making such a choice today.

Couple bowing towards each other!

Qin Hao, you treating me like this,

I will surely etch it in my heart. This great kindness,

I will use my whole life to repay.

The only way to save Ah Li now

is to kill Wu Julan. As long as Wu Julan dies,

Ah Li will be yours.

- Wu Julan?- Men! Arrest him!

Wife, don't be scared.

You don't know to treasure your life.

Wu Julan, you were able to luckily escape last time.

This time, I never thought you'd still dare to come here to die.

I fear that I am going to disappoint you.

Today, not only will I not die,

I am even going to take one person away.

Dream on!

- Quickly leave!- Master and Madam, hurry and leave!

Hao'er! Hao'er!

Okay already, wife. Quickly go hide.

- Hao'er!- Hurry and leave, Master!

Wu Julan, the two of us have already severed our ties. I am not going to leave with you.

It's not yours to decide.

Wu Julan, are you crazy?

That's right. I am crazy.

Do you still remember this place?

This is the place where you pushed me down to the seas.

Merfolk clearly are not afraid of water.

But that time I felt as if I had died.

Today, I am also going to let you experience the same feeling.

What are you doing?

Wu Julan, you are drunk.

Hurry and let me go.

You doing this will only incite the conflict between humans and merpeople.

I don't like seeing you wearing this dress.

Bring some clothes for her to change into!

Greetings, Lords.

How is the situation?

Replying to Lord, we already searched the whole Chang Le area.

We didn't find any traces of Wu Julan and Lady Lu.

Since they are already not in Chang Le,

Wu Julan most likely has already taken Ah Li back to Blue Cave.

Father, please give the order to let me lead the soldiers to attack Blue Cave.

No.

The position of Blue Cave is concealed. Its surrounding densely covered by reefs.

There is mist curling around it.

Since time immemorial, so many people have tried to search the Blue Cave

but they all never returned.

If we rashly deploy our army now, there is totally no chance for victory.

Father, we haven't even tried yet.

How sure are you that there is no chance of winning?

We still don't know if Ah Li is still alive or not.

Even if the hope is little, I am still going to gamble it.

Then just because of your Ah Li, just because of your romantic love,

you are going to let the soldiers die in vain?

- Father!- Don't say it anymore!

Father, what you said is right.

I shouldn't be this selfish and let the soldiers die with me.

But Ah Li is my wife.

Even if I die, I still will go save her.

- Hao'er!- Lord.

I am very impressed with your affection towards the soldiers.

But I also have only one little sister.

Lord Lu,

Ah Li is also currently my daughter-in-law.

I definitely will not just sit and watch.

It's just that we still have to inform the central government

about the matter of attacking Blue Cave.

We cannot act rashly.

With these words from Lord Qin,

I am at ease.

Lord, now that Prefectural Governor Qin is refusing to deploy the army,

I fear that it would be hard to save Lady.

After Liu Mantang died,

has anyone already bought the Chang Le Shipyard?

What Lord means is...

Rather than begging others, why not just do it yourself?

Since that old coward Qin

is not willing to help,

we can only rely on ourselves to save Ah Li.

I understand.

Wu Julan.

Wu Julan, what really are you trying to do?!

Where are you going?

Of course, it is to leave this place.

Don't forget. This is the Blue Cave.

As long as you walk out of this palace,

you will get torn into pieces by the merpeople.

That is way better than staying here!

If you want to kill or chop me up, just say it! What really are you planning to do that you have to kidnap and bring me here?

What I am planning to do?

I also want to know what I am doing.

Why did I abduct you and bring you here to the Blue Cave?

I clearly hate you so much.

Yet I am still unable to kill you.

Why?

Young Master, why don't we just go beg Master again?

No use. He is an official of Chang Le.

Of course, he must think about the sake of the majority in everything he does. I won't blame him.

How about... let's think of some other way?

The longer Ah Li is in Wu Julan's hands,

the more she is in danger.

I cannot wait anymore.

Young Master! Young Master!

You recklessly charging to Blue Cave like this, isn't that equivalent to suicide?!

Ah Li is my wife!

I should enjoy blessings and endure disasters together with her.

Erliang, if this time...

I really am unable to return,

take good care of my parents for me.

No, you can't leave!

- Erliang.- No!

Erliang! Promise me.

Promise me.

Don't worry, Young Master,

I will surely take good care of Master and Madame on your behalf.

Young Master, you must return safely.

I will wait for you.

Drink some water first.

Leave!

Your Majesty.

What is it?

Informing Your Majesty, Lord Heng Bo and Lady Chi Die are waiting in the main hall for an audience.

I know already.

I'll go out for a while. Just be good and stay here.

- You are not allowed to go anywhere.- I know already.

Without my instructions, no one is allowed to let her go out.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Dachun, are we still not there yet?

We are arriving soon.

We have already traveled for a long time.

- Okay already. Just wait for a little while more. We will be there soon.- I can't wait anymore.

What surprise is this about? Why must we travel this far?

Are we there yet?

We're here! We're here! Come. Come.

We're here?

Let me. Let me.

Be careful.

Come. Come. Walk forward a little.

Why did it take this long? What surprise is this?

Come. Come. Be careful of the steps. Be careful.

Okay.

What? From now on, you will be the lady boss of this wine pub!

Although this place is a bit ugly,

it will be fine after tidying it up a little.

Yin Hu, don't cry.

It was because I was too poor so I can only buy such a place.

I promise that I will work hard to earn money from now on

and buy you a larger and more well-lit shop.

Ma Dachun, as long as it was bought by you, I'll like them all.

It is good that you like it.

[Penglai Abode](Penglai is a fabled place where immortals live)

Hateful.

Place it higher.

Left. Left. Right. Right.

How about this?

No. No. It's better to lift the left side higher.

Is it really the left or the right?

Left... right...

Left.

How about you do it yourself?

Are you two our new neighbors?

Yes. Auntie, hello.

My surname is Ma, my name is Ma Dachun. This is my wife.

Everyone, hello.

- Your wife can really work.- That's right.

Of course. In our house, it is my wife who leads.

Your wife is very beautiful.

That's right.

You two just slowly continue with your work. We will be leaving now.

- If you guys have time, come here to drink some wine.- Okay.

See you next time...

Is this okay now?

Left a little.

This way?

Right.

You guys!

Newcomers?

Not right. There were no newcomers in the shipyard lately.

Wait. What are you doing?

If you are unable to clearly explain it then you are not allowed to leave.

What are you doing? Mister, I urge you to be less meddlesome.

I am being meddlesome? I am the officer-in-charge here in this shipyard.

It is just right that I interrogate people who are acting suspiciously.

Who are you?

You love to ask that much?

Do you want to ask this knife in my hand first?

Hurry and move!

Say, who really was that person that His Majesty brought back last night?

How would I know?

Anyway, it was surely a human girl.

Seeing how His Majesty was hugging her,

I fear that their relationship is not that simple.

General!

What were you two saying earlier? Say it again!

Move out.

General, His Majesty has orders that without his orders,

no one is allowed to go in.

If His Majesty will go after this matter,

I will bear all the responsibility!

General!

General already saw it. There are no spies in here.

If there are spies or not, wait for me to search this place first before we will know.

Who is it?!

Move aside! Move out!

Your Majesty, after the lessons we brought them last time,

the merchant vessels of Chang Le didn't dare anymore to trespass our territorial waters.

I think that we should follow-up our victory by pursuing after them

and completely put the sea boundaries of Chang Le in lock down so we can blunt the sharp spirits of humans.

Your Majesty?

Locking down the seacoast of Chang Le will not only severe maritime trading,

it will also severe the livelihood of the fishermen.

Humans are our mortal enemies to begin with.

In going against our mortal enemies, why must His Majesty bear any feelings of benevolence?

It's not that I am being benevolent, I just don't hope

that the conflict between humans and merpeople will get worse and worse.

If a war really erupts between humans and merpeople,

it will surely tire our clan members out.

Your Majesty, in my opinion, you will never earn peace by retreating.

If Your Majesty keeps showing weakness,

won't that make the humans think that our clan is weak and can be bullied?

People are vicious and cunning,

they surely will intensify their efforts and press hard on us step by step.

Your Majesty, what Lady Highness Chi Die said is indeed true.

Rather than keep allowing their actions and keep exercising forbearance,

why not let the humans know how powerful we are.

Let them be unable to take any chances.

This is where the foundation of peace between the two clans should be based on.

Of course, I have thought about those.

What you all said are not devoid of reasons.

But the right time has still not come,

acting recklessly can only lure fire to burn oneself.

Don't discuss this matter anymore.

Yes.

Your Majesty!

Informing Your Majesty, there is a human spy that infiltrated Blue Cave. General Jin Ling is currently chasing after her.

Lu Li, what really is your motive for infiltrating into our Blue Cave?

Since that is the case...

Fine, then don't blame my hands for being heartless.

Stop!

What are you doing?

Your Majesty.

It was me who personally brought this person back to Blue Cave.

She is not some spy.

The Lu Li siblings are the masterminds behind the former king's death.

Since Your Majesty has already personally arrested her, why not just kill her

to comfort the soul of the past king in Heaven?

That's right. It was me who caused the death of your former king.

Wu Julan, just kill me.

Lu Li, do you really want to die that much?

Your hands are covered with the blood of my royal father and my tribesmen.

You want to die? Not that easy.

Since she is the only relative of Lu Xiao, the envoy that tasked the annihilation of the merpeople,

then as long as she is in our hands, we have an additional stake to use against the humans.

Everyone, listen!

Starting today, without my orders,

no one is allowed to touch her.

Bring me to the Blue Cave.

Wu Julan, even if I die, I will not let you use me as a stake

to harm the people of Chang Le.

If you dare die, I will let the whole Chang Le be buried with you.

Do you really know what you are doing?

You abducting me is going against both the Lu and Qin families at the same time. Not just my older brother,

even Qin Hao will stop at nothing.

I fear that this will only initiate the great war between humans and merpeople.

Are you afraid of the great war

or you cannot bear to be separated with Qin Hao? Do you keep thinking of going back to reunite with him?

Reporting!

Your Majesty, one human abducted our guard in the seas near Blue Cave.

He kept saying that he wants to see Your Majesty.

Interesting.

I wonder who it could be.

Wu Julan! Why are you still not coming out?

Could you have been so scared and have become a coward now?

Qin Hao, a person I defeated. You really can talk big.

Ah Li. Ah Li, how are you? Were you hurt?

I am fine. Why are you so stupid? Hurry and go back.

Ah Li, don't be afraid.

Once I save you, we will go back together.

What a good pair of intimate lovers. Really so touching.

Wu Julan! I currently have your man in my hands.

You also have a person that I care about in your hands.

Why don't we just exchange our hostages and call it even?

Okay. But it is quite boring to do it this way.

Why don't we play a game?

What do you want?

Starting now, if you dare hurt my clan member,

I will then return it on the body of Lu Li at twice the intensity.

Wu Julan!

Qin Hao, don't mind me. Hurry and leave!

What?

You can't dare to make any move?

Okay then. I will make the first move.

Stop!

Qin Hao!

Young Lord Qin,

just with this kind of capability of yours, you still thought of rescuing people from my hands?

Aren't you overestimating yourself?

Take him away!

Wu Julan, I beg you to let Qin Hao go.

As long as you are willing to let him go,

I am willing to obediently stay here in Blue Cave forever and be your hostage.

I beg you.

Lu Li, you are really good with your tricks.

All the men are getting played by you.

All are so wiling to die for you.

You came near me just to deal with the merpeople.

What then is your reason for marrying Qin Hao?

Is it for the military power of the Qin family?

No, my feelings for Qin Hao are sincere.

Sincere?

Your sincerity has long been eaten by dogs!

You are not qualified to mention the word 'sincere'.

That is towards you. Your are my enemy. But Qin Hao is different.

He and I were childhood friends.

When we were still little, we already had promised to be together for three lifetimes.

So during the time when you were showing me affection,

the one you were thinking of all that time was Qin Hao?

I have never stopped thinking about him.

I only hope that Prefectural Governor Qin and my older brother can kill our enemy as soon as possible.

Letting you yield yourself to your enemy is really such a torment for you.

As long as I think about that one day, I can use your blood

to comfort the souls of my parents and clan members in Heaven,

that I will be able to return by the side of Qin Hao, no matter how much suffering

I am able to endure.

Okay.

Do you believe that I will go kill him now?!

If you are going to kill Qin Hao, then kill me first.

I will never kill you.

I must let you experience how it feels to live while yearning to die.

[Penglai Abode]

Yin Hu, guess what I found in the basement.

What?

This is a good wine!

Smells so good!

This wine is not to be drank that way.

It is just drinking wine. Why must there be so many rules?

Come.

The vast sky above, in here, I, Ma Dachun, am willing to be married to Yin Hu.

In this lifetime, I am willing to hold her hands and grow old with her.

Not separating and abandoning. My heart will never change.

Dachun...

Why are you still standing there? It's your turn.

The The vast sky above, I, Yin Hu, am willing to be married to Ma Dachun.

From now on, holding hands and growing old together.

Not separating and abandoning. My heart will never change.

Wait a minute.

You guys are like this?

Next one, what is your name?

Liu A'Gou.

- You go do woodwork. Go now.- Okay.

- Zhang Dali, you make the sail.- Okay.

- Wan Qingsong.- Yes.

Why are they hiring so many new laborers. There must be something fishy going on here.

- He Baobao.- Yes.

You go do woodwork, too.
