[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 35 ]

Are you not afraid of catching a cold by getting exposed to the chilly wind like this?

Are your injuries healed? If they are, come help.

They are indeed better, but not fully healed.

I was just too bored, so I came out to see some live people.

You... Ling Xi is gone. Senior Deity's mind is very troubled.

Stop for a while. Stop adding to the trouble.

I just beat up Yuantong! How is that adding to the trouble?

This... Senior Deity even went to the Purple Cloud Platform to beg for leniency on your behalf.

Is that not adding to the trouble?

Begging for leniency? Was he there for leniency?

He clearly went there to observe the punishment!

Attitude. His personally going there said it all. Must he still say it?

That is having an attitude? I did not notice it at all.

He really hid his attitude well.

I reckon that old man Immortal Lord of Universal Turn also did not see his attitude,

or else how could he have hit me with those extra ten strokes of flogging?

Is it not all your fault for acting tough? Who can you blame?

Huayan, say, could Senior Deity like Ling Xi?

Absolutely impossible! I heard from others

that the sect of Heavenly Lord Supreme cultivates ascetic behavior and indifference. He will not fall in love.

Bullshit, "ascetic behavior and indifference"!

That High God Yunfeng is also a disciple of Heavnely Supreme Lord.

Does he look someone who is indifferent about love?

In the past, Ling Xi got into a lot of trouble.

But when something bad happened to her,

the attitude of Senior Deity was always very clear,

either he begged for leniency on her behalf or bore the punishment for her.

From the Grand Hall of the Heavenly Palace to Polar Abyss, when did he stop defending her?

How come when it came to me, it became observing the punishment?

Maybe because you have tough skin and flesh.

How can you be compared to Ling Xi?

How are we different? She was an immortal maid,

so am I! She served Senior Deity, but I never slacked off on my duty.

She was an earth immortal, while I am even a high immortal.

Both committed mistakes and got into trouble.

How come the difference is so huge?

Where does the problem lie?

How about you commit a mistake too?

- See what reaction Senior Deity will have? - Senior Deity.

Senior Deity...

Right. The problem lies with Senior Deity.

If you ask me, toward Ling Xi, Senior Deity,

he definitely—

Keep talking. Definitely what?

I... I do not know anything.

Your injuries have fully recovered?

Not yet.

If not, then rest well. Stop going around and inciting trouble.

Even more so, you should stop instigating others. Understand?

I admit my mistake.

Go to my chamber to get some medicine for her.

Yes.

Why did you not warn me?

Quickly get up.

Senior Deity.

♫ I float adrift on the current in the midst of where the water and sky merge in one color in the Milky Way, ♫

There was a banquet by the Jade Pond yesterday. Queen Mother of West gifted all immortals some peaches. ♫ Depending on the moonlight to sweep away rising layers upon layers of cause and effect ♫

You did not attend, so they sent an envoy to deliver the peaches here. ♫ In the midst of my dream, you quietly raise me up through the seams ♫

♫ Pulling me, pulling me ♫

♫ The skies themselves brought me to you to fill this void with happiness ♫

♫ To hold you up in your dream, as well as controlling the river of stars ♫

♫ You retreat afterward, finally banishing me with growing waves of tears ♫

Do not know if she has eaten the peaches from that tree. ♫ How cheerful... ♫

♫ Falling down as two flowers into a pool, both anxious when together and when separated ♫

♫ You see me off in the moonlight and retreat,and it's beyond me to account for this ♫

♫ Deep as the down-pouring rain, yet prudently becoming ♫

♫ a flick of ocean spray ♫

♫ Unwilling to remain silent, because a critical event may part the bond ♫

♫ Pouring my heart's intention like surging water over a blazing fire ♫

She's back!

♫ Acting as clear water to wash your whole life's agony away. ♫

I...I am back.

You are back very early today.

Brother Xiu, Doctor Sun accepted me as his disciple today.

He even said that he will teach me medical skills

and allowed me to prepare the medicines for his patients.

Really? You are that good?

I only know a little.

But Doctor Sun takes good care of me.

I will do my best to learn.

Doctor Sun is a very kind man. He surely will get good karma in the future.

Brother Xiu, how come this dog

keeps barking at you?

What is wrong with it?

He might be hungry.

Then I will go cook.

State Preceptor Jingxiu has committed unpardonable crimes.

He is to be imprisoned. After dragging him away,

he will be re-interrogated.

You think you are still the great State Preceptor

who can control the life and death of my whole trbe?

You should be begging me for mercy.

Be like a dog begging for mercy from me!

Were you not very good in adapting to the circumstances when you faced Yuandu in the past?

Maybe, if you can please me,

I can give you a quick death.

Brother Xiu, are you not in pain?

No need to worry.

You... are unhappy?

No such thing.

Then, drink your medicine.

A'Mo, this medicine is very bitter.

You are not even afraid of pain,

so why be afraid of bitterness?

This medicine will never cure my eyes.

Then what medicine can cure them?

There is no cure!

You will never find it.

What medicine is that hard to find?

Is it an immortal pill?

It has been scalded.

A'Mo.

A'Mo.

If my eyes

are unable to see forever,

what should I do?

Look at what you are saying,

as if my ears can hear?

I am serious.

What if they can never be cured?

If it cannot be cured, then it cannot be cured.

I will never

see you then.

Actually, what is most important to a human

is to maintain a cheerful state of mind.

I was born

deaf.

I know that it can never be cured.

But, it is fine.

My father doted on me a lot.

When I was little,

he gifted me a very huge,

very beautiful golden lock.

Why did you leave your home then?

One still has to walk the path

by yourself.

I want to train myself.

Are you not afraid?

No.

I am looking forward to seeing

my father, my mother, my grandmother,

and that willful little sister of mine.

You will. You will be able to return home.

I want to become

something better before going home.

You are already great. What needs to be better?

I want to do something that will make my father happy.

For example...

For example, learning very good medical skills.

For example,

becoming

a very famous doctor.

Another example, my ears getting cured.

When I go home, if I could hear and talk?

When they see me,

they all will surely be surprised!

When your ears are cured, what sound do you want to hear the most?

A song.

Song?

When I was little, my father sang it to me.

If my ears can really be cured,

I just want to hear that song.

You will be cured. You surely can hear.

Then, we indeed must find an immortal pill.

I will find one for you.

Brother Xiu, drink your medicine.

This medicine is so bitter.

This medicine is very expensive.

Is there any news about the whereabouts of that minor immortal named Ling Xi?

I have already intensified the search.

Just that with a sea of people,

without any leads, it is really very hard.

Jiuchen is very concerned about that girl.

It must be he was the one who saved her.

Follow Jiuchen, and you will find her.

Yes. I will go do it now.

Have you calculated when the blood moon is?

I am incapable. I can only predict a bit of it.

Lately, yang aura is at its peak. (T/N male of TCM, vs yin of female)

When things reach the extreme, they can only move the opposite direction. Something at its peak can only deteriorate.

Once yang deteriorates and yin peaks, the blood moon will appear. It would be not long from now.

What about the enchantment around the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

For this enchantment, a lot of immortals have died because of its rebound effect.

Grudges are escalating.

If you lack people, then go capture more.

Kill anyone who resists.

Either they die in Spirit-Binding Abyss or their whole tribe dies,

is that very hard to choose from?

Yes.

Where is A'Yuan? (T/N familiar form of Qinyuan, his adopted son's name)

I do not know.

He seems to be very diligent in going to the underground prison lately?

Princess Baoqing.

Do not get cocky.

Once my Brother Jingxiu returns, he surely will break and decimate all your bones!

I fear that he might be dead.

He will not have a chance to decimate my bones.

That's nonsense!

His qihai acupointhas been sealed by my adoptive father, his immortal magic disabled,

his eyes blinded, and he was badly injured before he was able to escape.

Now even some mere mortal can kill him!

You are still expecting for him to save you?

Nonsense! Impossible! I do not believe you!

What time is it now that I must still lie to you?

You're a traitor!

Traitor?

Who said that your family can be the only one to rule here?

Your mother ignored state affairs for so many years.

When Jingxiu left, she could not even handle a minor uprising like this!

Is a person like that qualified to be the leader of a tribe?

Princess Baoqing, wake up.

If you can renounce the dark and seek the light, pledge allegiance to my adoptive father,

I will surely speak for you in front of my adoptive father so your life can be spared.

Dream on!

I will give you time to consider.

But Ling Yue is not your biological mother.

You do not need to stay with her on the same boat and continue to sink.

A'Mo.

Aunt Guan.

I screened a few good prospective men for you.

They asked for your birth date. Give it to me.

Let us look for a fortune teller to check them for you.

Aunt Guan, I have a hearing disorder.

I have never thought of marrying.

Forget about this.

Silly girl. So what if you have a hearing disorder?

This matter must be handled sooner or later.

You will get married eventually.

It is all on you if this matter will succeed or not.

I have already confidently

set an agreement with them.

I am rushing there now to propose to them.

If at this time, I still do not know about your birthdate,

that would be very embarrassing.

Handing them your birthdate is like greeting them.

Do not worry. Next, whether you like it or not,

it will all depend to you two.

If it does not work, then forget it. But if it does,

quickly confirm the relationship. What do you say?

This solves it.

This is great. Stay here then. I will just go there for a while.

Xiaobai, are you hungry?

Brother Xiu?

Brother Xiu. Are you inside?

Brother Xiu.

I am coming in.

Brother Xiu! Brother Xiu!

Brother Xiu, what is wrong?

Brother Xiu...

Brother Xiu.

Brother Xiu.

You are awake.

Do not move.

Brother Xiu, how did you get hurt that badly?

How long have I been asleep?

Four days.

You want to drink water?

I will go get you some.

Brother Xiu, drink some water.

Thank you.

Brother Xiu, how come these

are in your body? Who did this?

Who did it?

You pulled this out?

Did you meet some mountain bandits

or a nemesis? His actions

are too sinister. You must report it to the local officials.

The officials cannot do anything about my matter.

But...

Brother Xiu, you have not eaten

for days.

There is congee. Eat some.

Thank you.

These seven white-bone nails

have sealed your qihai acupoint

and destroyed your magic.

In this world, only people from the Phoenix Tribe can pull them out.

Just quietly wait

for death here.

Why are you here this early in the morning?

At this early morning, what are you busying about?

I am practicing an invisibility technique.

Very hardworking.

Being so sneaky. What are you looking at?

Senior Deity, are you in there?

He is.

Senior Deity.

Eat it!

Is this how you treat me, a princess?

Quickly let me out!

Hey! Can't you hear me? Let me out--

Shut up! You really think you are some princess?

Let me tell you, you had better not anger me or I will hit you!

What an imposing demeanor!

She is the Princess of the previous ruling family. If anything bad happens to her,

even if you get skinned or your bones are removed, you won't be able to pay for it.

Savior gives importance to her. Nothing bad must happen to her.

Yes.

Princess, eat some.

Stop pretending to be nice.

Traitor!

Although we are traitors,

we were never harsh toward you. Savior locked you up in here,

but has never beaten you up nor tortured you to confess?

Tell me, why must you cause a ruckus here?

He locked me up in this rotten place

and I must still be grateful to him?

Let me tell you this. Be careful of your worthless lives!

Once my mother returns, see if she does not break your bones, one by one!

What? Afraid now?

Afraid? Terrified.

Princess, a wise man adapts to the circumstances.

If circumstances are against you, then you had better behave judiciously.

I heard that you have not been eating or drinking, just crying all day.

Why do so? You are not Lingyue's biological daughter.

Even if you want to wait for someone to save you,

you must nurse your health first.

Your energy is still quite good.

Just focus on nursing yourself.

Senior Deity, an interesting matter has happened lately. Have you heard about it?

Immortal Peng stirred up trouble again.

He has now been sent by Heavenly Emperor to guard a certain land in the mortal world.

He is really getting backward as he lives. So full of misfortunes.

In my opinion,

the position of the God of Plague is very fitting for him.

It is really hard to find another one as unfortunate as he is!

If you continue to be noisy around me,

your fortune will also not be better than his.

Senior Deity!

Senior Deity, you really cannot go to the mortal world again.

Senior Deity, you lost your Nuwa Stone Heart

and have successively used your magic to fight with others. The Fire Essence cannot sustain you much longer.

Yesterday, I was summoned to the Heavenly Mountain by Heavenly Supreme Lord.

He said that if something bad happens to you,

I as the person who instigated everything will get demoted down to the mortal world!

Tell me, how could it have been I who instigated this matter?

I am of lowly position. How could I have been able to instigate you?

Heavenly Supreme Lord has such a high seniority and position,

when he gets unreasonable, I really can not do anything.

So... I can only come begging to you.

Considering how difficult it was for me to cultivate into this state, please take good care of yourself.

Stop getting involved in the matters of the mortals, so you will not suffer any rebound effect.

You might exhaust your energy and die even before Ling Xi passes her three trials!

By then, just to preserve your life, Heavenly Supreme Lord

will take the Farmer God's Cauldron back.

Ling Xi will really not be savable then.

Understood.

You understand. You really understand?

You will listen to me and not go to the mortal world anymore?

I already said it's understood!

Senior Deity, it is good that you understand...understood...

Senior Deity, where are you going?

Back to Polar Abyss!

Why Polar Abyss?

It is quiet over there.

It is very quiet here too. Senior Deity.

Senior Deity, listen to me!

Senior Deity, take care.

Senior Deity, do not go roaming about!

A'Mo.

A'Mo.

What does your father do?

Why do you want to know?

Just asking.

I will not tell you.

I am going to work.

Oh right.

Why did you throw the chopsticks at me?

Slip of the hand.

These past days, you have been acting very strange.

Then, I will get going.

There are mantou in the kitchen. I will be home late. (T/N steamed buns, often filled with meat or vegetables)

Be careful on the road.

She does not have any immortal power. She is indeed a mortal.

Why then was she able to pull out the white-bone nails? Could it be...

she is a descendant of the Pheonix Tribe living away from her tribe?

State Preceptor.

I sent out all Hawk Bodyguards to find you.

Heaven really does not disappoint someone who perseveres.

I finally found you, State Preceptor!

Get up.

Yes.

State Preceptor, what happened to your eyes.

My eyes were injured by Zhonghao.

However, I am starting to regain my magic.

In a few days, my eyes will recover too.

Your magic has returned. In your letter, you said

Zhonghao used the White-Bone Nails made from the vertebrae of phoenixes

to suppress your qihai acupoint and seal your magic?

You wanted me to look for any news about the Phoenix Tribe.

Could it be you have found one?

How is Princess Baoqing?

It was my fault.

I was not able to guard her well.

She escaped her bodyguards and quietly left.

Afterward, Qinyuan, the adopted son of Zhonghao, captured her.

She is now locked up in our tribe's prison,

but our men will secretly protect her.

She is currently safe.

How is State Master?

Zhonghao has used the "Soul Absorption Technique" to control State Master.

He used State Master Lingyue to fool the people from the Heavenly Race.

Right now, the State Master is locked up in her palace chambers.

What is Zhonghao planning to do?

Zhonghao was ordered by Demon Lord

to set up an enchantment around the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

They are just waiting for the blood moon

to operate the enchantment, activate the Spirit-Binding Abyss,

open the tunnel between the two worlds, and let the demons in.

Zhonghao really knows what I want.

We are exactly waiting for that day.

When our nation fell, most of our people were able to escape.

These past days, I have been gathering our men.

Just give the command, State Preceptor,

and we can charge back to Shanling Territory to kill Zhonghao!

Seek vengeance for our tribe.

No rush. Zhonghao will soon open the Sprit-Binding Abyss and gift me Yuandu.

How can we not accept such a huge gift?

My eyes will fully recover soon.

Keep monitoring the activities in Tianxi Palace. If there are any changes, immediately report to me.

Yes.

Send a message to our men there to ensure Princess Baoqing's safety.

She had been spoiled since she was little, her personality is a bit too extreme. She might get in trouble.

Okay. I understand.

A'Mo! A'Mo!

Our neighbors gave us some ingredients.

I am unable to move them by myself. Can you help me?

- Sure. - Let us go.

- Innately, - Innately

- man is kind. - man is kind.

Personalities are very similar,

we just learn to be different from each other.

We are here. Let us go in. [ Thatched Cottage Overlooking the Sea ]

If one is not taught,

your nature will deteriorate.

The right way of teaching...

is being absolutely thorough. [ Three Character Classic ]

Aunt.

Okay. We will end here for today.

Thank you, Teacher.

Aunt, were we not supposed to get cooking ingredients?

You really have a one-track mind.

I will introduce a good man to you today.

He is a teacher in our town.

His surname is "Shen", and he has passed the county level civil examination.

He has a refined and genial personality.

Take a look. This surely will succeed!

Aunt, seriously.

A'Mo, do not go.

- Do not go. - Aunt Guan, you are here.

This must be Miss A'Mo.

This is Teacher Shen.

Teacher Shen, hello.

Miss A'Mo, hello.

[ Exemplary Teacher for All Ages (T/N This picture is of Confucius) ]

Sit down.

You two have a chat here. I will go there to get some things.

Aunt.

It will be fine. I will not leave.

Aunt Guan, slow down.

Miss A'Mo, do not be nervous.

Let me introduce myself.

When I was young, my family can be said to be well-off.

But when I was nine,

changes unfortunately happened.

My parents died and I was raised by my relatives.

You can say that I have seen through the cold and warmth of this world,

that is why I chose to stay away from the noise.

I opened this school here

first, to pursue the purity of being young.

Second, interacting with children

can make one's heart

become calm and more carefree.

Miss A'Mo.

I am deaf.

It is fine. Aunt Guan mentioned it.

Does it bring you any inconvenience?

I was born like this.

I do not find it inconvenient.

There must still be something different.

If you do not want to hear what a certain person is saying,

you just need to lower down your head.

But others cannot.

If the words do not sit well with you, an argument will then ensue.

Letting the matters of others affect one's mood is not good.

That is right too. If I am unhappy,

I will just lower my head and not look.

In everything, you must look at it both ways.

Good and bad are relative. No need to feel troubled by it.

It is getting late. I must go home now.

Then, I will send you off.

- A'Mo. - Aunt Guan.

Let us go back.

Please wait a moment.

How about it? Is he suitable?

Aunt.

I am back.

You are back.

Did you encounter something on your way back?

If you still did not return, I would have gone out to look for you.

What is wrong?

Nothing.

It smells like fragrant herbs.

There are insects in your room?

No.

Teacher Shen gave these to me.

Teacher Shen?
