The Starry Night, The Starry Sea Season 2

Episode 26

It was she and that merpeople king that came up with some truce pact

that why such a disaster was brought upon us, the citizens of Chang Le!

Not only did she caused her older brother to get hurt, she even caused innocent lives of soldiers to be lost.

A woman like you is really a calamity witch!

Witch! Witch!

Witch! Witch!

What are you doing?!

- Bring me back my father!- Today,

we are going to do righteous act in the name of the heaven and teach this witch a lesson.

Right, teach her a lesson!

Who are you?

I am the Adjutant of Chang Le, Qin Hao.

Anyone who causes trouble will be all arrested and brought to the local court to be severely punished.

Let's go.

Really... So shameless...

How could there be such a woman?

Those citizens are just agitated due to a moment of anger. Don't put it to heart.

How could I not?

It was me who brought trouble to the citizens of Chang Le and caused the death of those soldiers.

Even my own older brother got harmed by me and his life is still currently in danger.

Everything was the fault of the merpeople. It has nothing to do with you.

What they said were right.

If not because of me, Chang Le City will not lower down its defense and let such a disaster happen.

Now, all the citizens of Chang Le

including a little girl hate me to their bones.

- Isn't it all that Wu Julan's fault?- Zixuan!

He and Lady made some truce agreement yet he has forgotten about it upon turning around.

Causing Lady now to be the enemy of everyone.

What pledge of undying love? What love that's stronger than gold? All are just lies to fool people!

Since Your Majesty gave the order to seek revenge against the humans,

the soldiers are all in high spirits, all set to start the battle.

Make your movements faster!

Although we were able to successfully attack Chang Le this time,

the humans will surely find a chance to seek revenge once they have recovered.

What Your Majesty said is very right.

This next days, I surely will personally increase the intensity of training the new soldiers.

Prepare our military weapons so as to defend against the counterattack of the humans.

With general around, I have no more worries.

As your subject, I was fortunate to have received your graces.

It is just right for me to be willing to sacrifice my life for you and not regret it.

High Priest, I thought that I made the right decision.

But how come I kept being uneasy and afraid?

What Your Majesty stepped on is a no retreat path.

Today, the merpeople was successfully in our sneak attack against the citizens of Chang Le.

So what? The humans will surely make a counterattack.

I fear that the soldiers that victoriously returned earlier will soon become

dead souls under their swords.

I also don't want to reach this stage.

But it was the humans who attacked first.

As the king of the merpeople, am I supposed to continue showing weakness and admitting defeat?

What is defeat? What is victory? In my opinion,

once the war starts, there will already be no victor between the humans and merpeople.

When primal chaos is created, everything will turn into nothing.

The path that the primal chaos pass through surely will be in great calamity. No one will be fortunate to survive it.

Zixuan.

Older brother, how are you feeling?

Older brother! Older brother!

Hurry and call the doctor!

Older brother!

Ah Li, come, eat the food so your illness will get cured.

Older brother, why are you not eating?

I already ate outside. You just eat.

Ah Li, you must get past this. As long as you can be well,

I am wiling to do anything. Open your mouth.

Older brother, you must get past this.

As long as you can be well, I am willing to do anything.

When I did the sneak attack on Chang Le today, I happen to bump into Lu Li.

How is she?

She's fine.

But I already told her words in your behalf to break up all your ties.

Why must you do that?

Everything that I did was for your sake.

Since Your Majesty has already decided to start war with the humans,

then your heart must have no distractions and just be focused on the war. All kinds of pity and hesitation

will only become sharp weapons that will kill our soldiers.

Will only become barriers for us to achieve victory.

Since Your Majesty and Lu Li already made an agreement to never see each other again,

then stop having hopes that will just torment each other.

Then it means that Lu Xiao got gravely injured by the merpeople and it is still unknown if he will live or not?

Yes. This matter has already spread throughout the whole Chang Le City.

Lu Li also almost got hurt by the merfolk. Good thing, Qin Hao came

that's why the two of them got saved.

This Lu Xiao has always been vicious and crafty.

How come this time he got so unfortunate, fell into the trap of the merpeople, and even ended up to this almost dying state?

This is so not his style.

Zixuan, it's good that you are here.

How is your Lord and Lady?

Lord kept being unconscious. Lady kept staying by his side.

If this continues, Lady will also get sick.

Never thought that our Chang Le City will also suffer such a disaster.

Isn't it all that Wu Julan's fault?!

It was all him that caused Lord and Lady to be like this.

- This has nothing to do with our king!- How can it not have anything to do with him?!

He is the king of merpeople! Without his orders, how could the merpeople sneakily attack Chang Le?!

From the looks of it, he clearly have plotted this long ago!

His Majesty will surely not do such a thing! Even if he did, he must have his reasons!

His reasons...are that he is unfaithful to his promise! Going back to his words!

My Lady really is blind.

Liking a fake gentleman like him!

- He is not a fake gentleman!- He is!

It was really a waste that my Lady loved him so much. Her sincere love was just fed to the dogs!

I...

- His Majesty is not a person like that!- He is!

- Zixuan, enough already. Just limit your words.- Calm down. Calm down.

Yin Hu is a mermaid. It can't be helped for her to defend Wu Julan.

Her temper is quite bad.

if she gets mad, we all will be unable to calm her down.

Look at Ma Dachun.

Enough already.

Lady! Anyone, come here! Lady has fainted!

Lady! Lady!

Lady. Lady.

Take me to my brother.

Lady...

- Let's go to my brother.- Ah Li, are you alright?

How could she be fine? Just for Lord, Lady has already not eaten, drank, or slept for a day.

Earlier, she even already fainted.

Ah Li, why must you do this to yourself?

It was me who brought harm to my older brother. Compared to the suffering that my older brother is enduring,

this is nothing.

I beg you. Let me stay by my brother's side.

I will take care of your older brother. Just focus on recuperating.

It is still unknown if my brother can survive or not, how could I calm down and recuperate?

If at this time, I can't even do such a simple thing,

what else can I do for my older brother?

Older brother, you promised me

that the two of us will rely and guard each other forever, forever not separating.

You must not leave me behind, okay?

In these past years,

no matter how much trials we went through,

the two of us were able to get past them.

This time, it will also be the same. I will always stay by your side

and go through this with you.

Ah Li, just be at ease.

The Heaven will surely see your sincerity and bless your older brother to be safe and sound.

Older brother!

Older brother, you're awake.

Older brother...

Men! Anyone!

- Lord has awakened. Hurry and go call the doctor!- Yes.

Congratulations, Lord.

Although your pulses are still a bit weak, it is basically stable now.

Lord can be considered to have gotten past through this ordeal already.

Thank you to all the deities. Older brother finally is alright.

Lady, in my medical practice for so many years,

it is also my first time to see a patient that have woken up

after getting gravely injured like that.

Looks like it is because the heaven pitied Lord

and didn't allow Lord to just die like that.

Then Lord, just continue recuperating. I'll first take your servant to get some medicines with me.

Older brother, you really have scared me these past days.

Ah Li,

I actually had dealings with the god of death for a total of two days.

I told him that I still want to continue living and cannot die that easily.

I still have to take care of my Ah Li.

In the end, the god of death got severely annoyed by me.

If he made me stay in the netherworld,

I am guessing that the tranquility of that place would have been completely disturbed by my ramblings.

That's why, he can only swipe his arm

and send be back here.

Older brother, you just woke up so stop talking already.

Just recuperate.

Ah Li, I have some words that I must say to you.

I know that since you were little,

you are kind. No matter what you do, you carry with you a benevolent heart.

But this world is not as wonderful as you think.

Even if you treat others with kindness, you might not always get good karma.

Look.

This is the price of making a peace treaty with the merpeople.

Ah Li,

you are able to see clearly now, right?

As the king of the merpeople,

Wu Julan only desires to be enemies with humans.

He didn't hesitate to break the truce and even attempted to kill me.

As long as Wu Julan is alive,

the citizens of Chang Le will never have peace.

I still want to remind Lord one thing. No matter what you see or hear,

you must not tell Lady about it at all.

Or else, it will be a very regrettable matter

for both you and Lord Lu.

Zixuan, what really is the reason for this?

Why did Wu Julan break his promise?

I don't know why he did it.

I only know that it was Jin Lin who led his men to attack Chang Le.

They harmed Lord Lu to this state and even almost hurt you.

Maybe...

This wasn't the intention of Wu Julan?

With such a grand operation, if it is not him, who else?

Moreover, who doesn't know that Jin Lin is a favored subject of Wu Julan. Always listening to his orders.

But Wu Julan is not this kind of person.

Lady, you love Wu Julan so much

so it is just natural for you to not believe that he will do such an evil thing. But you also saw it clearly.

Lady, listen to my advice. At this time,

if you still defend Wu Julan, that is being an enemy with the citizens of Chang Le, being against Lord Lu.

Disloyal, not filial, not righteous.

Lady, you already done all of it.

Lord, how are you feeling?

I am fine.

While the merpeople have not yet been completely annihilated, how can I bear to die first?

Although I know that Lord is safe, seeing how you were unconscious for the past days,

I was still anxious and frightened.

Qiu Feng, you have followed me for several years. You have always been steady.

Not showing any emotions no matter what happens.

How come you are losing your cool today?

I have embarrassed myself.

I know that you are worried about me. I am very satisfied.

Lady also suffered a lot these past days.

Last night, she even fainted.

She indeed need to suffer a little.

Her sufferings now will be the hatred she will use to kill Wu Julan.

I still have one thing to report to you.

When I went to see Mo Hen yesterday, I got followed by Adjutant Qin.

Adjutant Qin seemed to have discovered something.

[Chang Le Shipyard]

That's right. This...Hey.

Adjutant Qin, please wait.

Why did Adjutant Qin come to visit today? The shipyard has already stopped its work.

Just because the work has stopped, can't I come visit?

Of course not.

It's just that it's still very messy inside. We still haven't gotten the time to clean things up.

We have already stopped work for several days.

We heard that in a few days, some laborers will come to dismantle this ship.

You dare lie to me?!

It's not my fault. It was Lord Lu.

Lord Lu instructed me to say that.

Lord! Lord Qin!

What really is going on?

Qiu Feng told me...

that little brother seemed to have learned some things that you shouldn't know.

Paying someone to hurt yourself. Why must you fool Ah Li?!

The construction of Cangming also hasn't stopped. How do you plan to explain these?

I did all these because I have already planned this for a long time.

Didn't I also pay a huge price?

That is why this matter must be completed.

As the saying goes, 'If one is to put on a show, better to make it thorough.'

I also was just forced to lie to you.

What really is it that you want?

Take revenge.

Haven't you already promised Ah Li that you are putting down your grudge and hatred?

I will only put down my hatred

if the merpeople will give me back my parents and family.

Since my parents and clan members died so tragically,

I have lived for seeking vengeance.

For revenge, I can give up everything.

What about you? Ah Li indeed came back safely.

But she doesn't belong to you.

Prefectural Governor Qin is still lying on his bed until now, not knowing if he will survive or not.

This hatred of stealing your wife and hurting your father,

could it be that it is that easy for you to write them all off?

I believe that in your heart, you surely are not willing for matters to end just like that.

Or else, from the start, you wouldn't have helped me plan this matter.

But those citizens,

those soldiers, they are all innocent!

In matters concerning revenge,

it has always been the benevolent sees benevolences, the wise sees wisdom.

Some people see an innocent lamb shouting for injustice upon being killed.

But what I see is a demon that deserved to be killed.

Could it be that the merpeople attacking Chang Le

was also planned by you?

The trust between humans and merpeople is unable to withstand a single blow to begin with.

I only did some little trick yet they made such a big fuss about it.

But my real motive is

to stimulate the hatred of Ah Li towards the merpeople, towards Wu Julan.

Although Wu Julan, being the head of my enemies, is hard to deal with,

he has one fatal weakness.

His fatal weakness is Ah Li.

Only Ah Li can kill Wu Julan.

Only by she personally killing Wu Julan

will her disastrous fate with the merpeople be completely severed.

I think that this is also the ending that you also want to see, right?

Lady, where are you rushing to go to?

- Here.- Dachun,

what rotten wine is this?

Newly fermented rice wine with greenish color and thick smell, little red mud kiln getting burned into a dark red color. Although this wine is not that presentable,

it is unable to restrain the romantic heart of the one tasting it.

That's right!

This boasting skills of yours is way better than your wine making skills.

Enough. Just drink.

Yin Hu.

Lu Li?

- Lu Li.- I have something to trouble you with.

What is it?

Please go to Blue Cave and ask Wu Julan to come to Chang Le.

There are things that I must personally ask him.

But the situation now is very tensed. His Majesty might not rashly come to Chang Le.

Once he sees this, he surely will come.

This matter is very important.

You must personally hand this letter to him.

Don't worry then.

Why did Lu Li come to see you?

I must go back to Blue Cave.

The relationship between humans and merpeople now is very tensed. Why are you going back there?

If it is not because this is a very urgent matter, Lu Li wouldn't have entrusted me with this task.

I am just going back to deliver a letter. I will be back immediately.

You wouldn't be like last time and not return anymore, right?

Be good and just wait for my return.

- Stop!- Move aside! I have an important thing to see His Majesty about.

Yin Hu, you have already been expelled out of the clan

and has already married a human. Although you have a merfolk form,

you are already human deep inside.

His Majesty has already gave an order that the humans and merpeople are mortal enemies.

All humans that will trespass into Blue Cave will be killed.

- Wait!- General!

General, it's good that you are here. I really have a very urgent matter to see His Majesty about.

His Majesty already declared war on the humans.

The relationship between humans and merpeople is not like it used to be. You cannot enter Blue Cave anymore.

If you really have an urgent matter, I can relay it to him.

General, you must give this letter to His Majesty.

This matter is very important. Hope General will take it seriously.

I understand.

[For Wu Julan]

At you time today (5 to 7 pm), see you outside Chang Le shipyard. I have important matters to discuss with you.

Will eagerly wait for you. Lu Li.

Don't think of disturbing His Majesty's thoughts again.

Lady,

it's already xu time (7 to 9 pm). I think Wu Julan will not come anymore.

And also, it is the Great Cold now (January to February). The cold weather is really extreme.

Be careful of hurting your health.

Lady, be careful!

Lady...

Hurry and go.

Lu Li will be meeting with Wu Julan today. Follow her.

When the timing is right, turn into a merman and pretend to attack her.

What you mean is to make her think that Wu Julan sent someone to attack her.

Remember. You must be vicious and cruel in your attacks

but you must not really hurt her.

And you also must not show any weakness.

Understand?

[Penglai Abode]

Wife!

- Chunchun!- I already took a bath and changed my clothes. Come, smell it. Is it fragrant?

Fragrant! So fragrant!

Who is it?!

Yin Hu, Dachun, it's me.

Lu Li?

[Penglai Abode]

Then it means that your Lady asked to meet with Wu Julan at the beach.

But Wu Julan didn't come and instead you almost got killed by a merman?

That merman that tried to kill us must have been sent my Wu Julan.

- Impossible!- How could it be impossible?

Other than Wu Julan, who else will know that my Lady is outside the shipyard?

Could this be a misunderstanding?

For example...a merman,

he wanted to go up the shore and look for a human to vent his anger on.

And then, he just happened to bump into your Lady.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Moreover, I am also a human.

But that merman kept closing in on Lady. Just looking at it and you'll know that was all planned.

Putting it that way, then Wu Julan indeed cannot deny his involvement in this.

This Wu Julan...it's enough that he was not faithful with his words.

He even was able to attempt to harm my Lady.

My Lady's heart must have been blinded by pig's oil.

She actually would fall in love with a beast clothed in human's clothing like him.

Informing Lord, Mo Hen has already taken care of the matter adequately.

Lady surely will feel very hurt this time.

When the heaven is about to confer a great task to a person,

it will first make this person suffer great pains,

make her muscles and bones be tired from working, make him suffer starvation until his body grow thin,

totally tire and drain his body, let everything that he does go wrong,

making him more vigilant and his personality stronger,

improving the skills that he previously doesn't have.

It's just that this time. It is me promoting justice in behalf of the heaven.

[The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu]

Lady.

Lady, are you alright?

Zixuan, say, why must Huo Xiaoyu treat Li Yi like that?

Li Yi was unfaithful to Xiaoyu so it is just natural for Xiaoyu to take revenge on him.

For a man like Li Yi, Xiaoyu turning into a vengeful ghost and disturbing him

is already letting him off easy.

Although Li Yi failed to be loyal to his love,

he is still a person that Xiaoyu was wiling to entrust the rest of her life with even if she has exhausted all her energy.

Even if Xiaoyu died,

she should have wanted Li Yi to find the person he loves and live the rest of his life in a blissful manner.

Lady, that is what you think but other people don't think that way.

I think that Wu Julan is more cruel than that Huo Xiaoyu.

Moreover, you can't be considered to have been unfaithful to him.

Lady, Wu Julan already was cruel enough to have you killed.

You still are sad for him?

This ungrateful person is not worthy for you to be like this.

As a woman, I have such unfortunate fate.

My husband was unfaithful to me.

Young and beautiful, I died bearing hatred.

My kind mother is still alive yet I am unable to provide and care for her anymore.

Suffering in the netherworld all thanks to my love.

Sir Li o Sir Li,

today, we will forever separate.

After I died, I surely will become a vengeful ghost

making you and your wives forever not be in peace.

It really is "Phoenix Hairpin" today, "Mulberry on the Lane" tomorrow.(both are poems, the first talks about a tragic love story and the latter about a girl rejecting an already married man)

The heart of the man seems to be cold but he actually is an evil-hearted wolf.

His Majesty is not that kind of person!

Not that kind of person?

He even was able to try to kill his old love. What kind of person is he then?

I understand him. He can't be this heartless!

As the old saying goes,

'When a dog is agitated, it can jump over the wall. When a rabbit is agitated, it can bite you."

When a merman is agitated, it can even kill a human.

I am not allowing you to slander His Majesty!

I am just saying the truth. How am I slandering him?!

Ma Dachun, shut up!

I am just not shutting up!

Really good, you Ma Dachun! Are you accepting defeat or not?!

Not accepting.

Not accepting, is that it?

I surrender...

Don't say so much nonsense next time.

I have offended you.

Since I ascended to the throne, I have been lax in my fighting skills.

My skills are inferior to yours to begin with.

Never thought that this fish bone sword has also become useless.

There are already cracks on the sword. It is natural that it won't be able to withstand a strong blow.

Although this sword is old, it has already accompanied me for so many years and I have already developed feelings for it.

Just didn't think that there are already cracks on it.

A sword is like a person. Every person has a secret.

But nothing is more dangerous than the love that is being kept in one's heart.

This love is like the cracks on this sword. During usual days, it is unnoticeable.

But once on the battlefield,

these minor cracks will actually lead to that person's death.

The hardest thing to part with in this world

is affection. I know that this sword has accompanied Your Majesty for so many years

so it is just natural that you have feelings for it. I feel that a swordsman must fight with a useful weapon.

Since this sword is already unable to protect Your Majesty,

you should be resolute and just throw it away.

This sword was made by mixing black iron and fish bone.

It is very sharp and is silent when wielded.

The heart of Your Majesty

should also be like this sword, no distractions, as firm as a boulder.

You can then lead our clan to seek vengeance for our kingdom.

Ah Li, I will repay your kindness.

Using what?

Using the rest of my life.

I will love you.

From the fluttering of my heart until I am very old.

Ah Hen.

Just stop now.

As long as you are willing to stop, you can do whatever you want.

I beg you already, okay?

I need money to buy your medicine and cure your illness.

I would rather die than see you trample yourself.

Do you know that

in my heart, there is only you.

If you are going to endure sufferings everyday, what else is the point of me continuously living?!

These past years, I exhausted my mind to live for taking revenge.

But no matter how I have calculated it, I never expected to meet you.

You are like a ray of light in a a vast and dark night sky,

a flower within the shambles of devastation.

Letting a man like me that's already on my deathbed

to actually develop the desire to live.

I so wanted to strive hard in extending my hand to grab hold of you.

Too bad, I already have deeply fallen into the swamp and has no more energy to pull myself out.

Not true.

As long as we work as one, we surely will think of a way.

Ming Zhu, for my revenge,

I have already bet everything including my life.

But the only thing that I can't put at stake

is you.
