[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 40]

Teacher, there is a monster! A big one!

Hurry up, let's go! Teacher, why are you not moving?

Could it be this is a trial given to us by Immortal Master?

T-Teacher... I feel that

we cannot leave anymore if we do not leave now!

Let us go!

[ Sun Pharmacy ]

He is gone.

So strange.

[ Sun Pharmacy ]

Teacher.

- Was that an immortal? - An immortal!

An immortal!

It was an immortal!

And there's also this Immortal Master.

- Be his disciple. - Right.

Immortal Master, wait for me!

He is over there.

Immortal Master.

Immortal Master is indeed great. You easily forced that monster to retreat.

Teacher, the monster... seems to have escaped?

Immortal Master has very strong magic. He will be able to capture that sooner or later!

Immor...

Immortal Master!

Immortal Master.

- Immortal Master. - Immortals also faint?

What to do?

This one.

Endure it a little.

Brother Xiu, let me do it. Go get me two splints.

My leg!

- Here? - Right, there.

Endure it a little.

Be careful.

So painful.

Do not move.

Brother Xiu. Brother Xiu!

Wait for me for a moment.

Doctor! Doctor!

- Help us! - Hurry!

He fainted.

Lord Song?

- Make space inside. Quickly go in. - Where? Where?

Hurry! Hurry!

State Preceptor. Princess Baoqing is badly injured.

Her internal alchemy has been destroyed. (T/N neidan, Daoist principle: Three Treasures of Essence, Breath and Spirit cultivated within the cauldron (ding) of the body to become an immortal)

Lord Song.

Lord Song, are you awake?

There is hot porridge in the pot. I will serve you some.

How long have I been alseep?

Three days. You were unconscious.

Doctor Sun also does not know what injury you incurred.

Did that beast return?

That cultivator Zhu Zizai said

that you went to eliminate the monster

and got injured by it.

You are too rash.

Even if you have some martial arts moves,

how are you the equal of that monster?

With your recklessly going there,

how can you not get hurt?

It is already your good luck to stay alive.

You were here these past days?

I cannot just leave you.

You are finally awake. Otherwise, I do not know how I would go back

and inform Uncle Song about this?

Is that the only reason?

Or, you are a bit concerned about me?

Mo.

Immortal Master! Are you awake? I am here to visit you!

Cultivator Zhu is here. I will open the door.

Come in.

Immortal Master, are you well now?

Who are you?

Immortal Master, I am your disciple, Zhu Zizai,

the thirty-eighth heir of Cool Breeze Temple.

This disciple's lifelong dream

is to kill monsters and eliminate evil, obtain the path to great righteousness, and bring blessings to the citizens.

I have been in the mountains since I was eight years old.

I cultivated on the spiritual mountain for a whole thirty years.

I did not learn anything. Encountering you this time

is my good luck.

I earnestly

ask Immortal Master to take me in as your disciple!

Grand Teacher!

Get up.

If you do not agree to my request, this disciple will die kneeling here!

Lord Song.

Cultivator Zhu is your savior.

Miss, do not say it that way. Actually, based on Immortal Master's power,

even without our help, he can wake up... all by himself.

It is true. If not because they saved you,

the monster would have eaten you.

Cultivator Zhu, quickly get up.

Get up.

Immortal Master.

You two get up.

I, your disciple, greet Teacher!

Thank you, Grand Teacher!

Quickly change your Grand Teacher's hot water and make some tea.

- You two go out first. - Go out first.

Go out!

Just call me if you need anything.

Why were you so fierce?

I have never accepted any disciples.

If you haven't, then it's good to accept one now.

Cultivator Zhu is a very good man.

Not only did he save you,

he visited you every day.

Don't you just know some minor martial arts moves?

What is wrong in teaching them that?

- Qingyao! - Xiao Jie.

Go up and include the ginseng.

Yes.

You, just give the word. Are you helping me or not?

Stop pretending! You clearly know

that helping me is helping yourself!

You clearly like Yunfeng. Do you want to just watch

- as he marries me? - I...

Qingyao, help me out!

I do not know what you are saying.

You can fool others, but not me!

Qingyao!

Yes. These past years, there were a lot of immortals

who expressed their interest in you.

Always pestering endlessly, trying to impress you.

Which one of them ended up well?

What? Is Yunfeng different?

And you still say you don't like him!

Since you like him, then tell my father about it.

He always listens to you.

As long as you say it, he surely will go to Heavenly Emperor and reject this marriage.

Since you do not like him, then tell that to your father.

- Why must you come to me? - You!

Okay. Okay.

Continue pretending then. If I truly am married off to him,

let us see if you will cry?

That was some loud thunder?

This is an ominous sign.

What loud thunder.

It came from the mountain of Heavenly Supreme Lord.

God of Heavenly Thunder.

Could it be that Heavenly Supreme Lord's cultivation has progressed further,

and so the heavens threw down their wrath?

[ Siming Manor ]

The sect of the Heavenly Supreme Lord has a new heir.

High God Yunfeng, you accepted a disciple?

I did not!

Could it be... Heavenly Supreme Lord has accepted a disciple?

Impossible. Respected Teacher went into secluded cultivation just to hide from me.

He has no time to accept disciples.

- Could it be... Senior Brother! - Could it be... Senior Deity!

[ Zhu Zizai, Pao Suozhu ]

Zhu Zizai, Pao Suozhu.

Who are they?

That beast escaped. I fear that it will return.

I must return to Heavenly Palace for a while.

- Teacher, good morning! - Grand Teacher, good morning!

He's gone!

Teacher, Grand Teacher has gone!

Teacher is really a great master who has achieved the dao. (T/N lit. the way, path - Daoism)

Such powerful and profound magic. He disappeared, just like that!

Teacher. Say, is Grand Teacher an immortal?

If he is not,

he must still be a high-ranking master enlightened with the Dao living in some famous sect in the mountains.

Anyway, our Cool Breeze Temple never had someone with such cultivation.

I think he might be from Taiyi ("The One") Temple.

I think it is Yueyang Temple.

Taiyi Temple.

Yueyang Temple.

Taiyi Temple!

Yueyang Temple.

Taiyi Temple!

Yueyang Temple!

Taiyi Temple!

- Yueyang Temple! - Taiyi Temple!

Taowu attacked the citizens in the mortal world? (T/N one of the 4 evil creatures of Chinese mythology)

Yes.

In the past, when Taowu wreaked havoc,

The White Emperor sealed him under the tree in Qiongsang in the west.

This matter has happened hundreds of thousands of years ago.

How come it was able to escape from its confinement

and even go wild to the point of disturbing the mortals?

I fear that it might be connected with Demon Lord's awakening.

God of War, it is just one fierce beast running amok. Since it encountered you,

you could have just captured it.

Why the need to report such a trifling matter to Heavenly Emperor?

Taowu is a trifling matter,

but right now, we still do not know if this is deliberate or expected.

Right now, the demonic aura is spreading.

Even beasts are affected,

causing them to get out of control and disturb the mortals.

If this matter is really connected with Demon Lord's awakening,

it will be a great disaster. We need to prepare for it.

What Jiuchen said is right.

- Baishan. - I am here.

Order Kaiyang and Hanzhang to lead the Heavenly Generals of the War Division

in investigating this matter. If the evil beasts are indeed acting strange,

we need to control and guard against them as soon as possible. Do not let them harm other living things again.

Yes.

Jiuchen. How is your health lately?

Everything is fine. Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for caring.

I heard you accepted a disciple.

You have never accepted one while here in the Heavenly Palace.

Why did you develop the idea to accept one now?

Just by coincidence.

God of War.

In the past, the eldest grandchild of the Western Sea Water Lord,

the little prince of Green Hill,

and the direct-line prince of the merfolk sea nation,

people of such status were unable to be taken in by you as a disciple.

Looks like you really have met a cultivating genius

with grand talent!

This is worthy of celebration!

Jiuchen. If you have time, bring him here for me to see.

The sect of Heavenly Supreme Lord has a descendant.

For the Heavenly Race, this is good news.

I will not be stingy, and will surely give your disciple a grand gift.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

He is just a mere mortal. He cannot bear your generous love.

How ca the disciple who you have accepted

just be a mere mortal? Since you have accepted him,

bring him here for us to see.

The Heavenly Emperor and I will not steal him from you.

Have you heard? Senior Deity has accepted a disciple.

Senior Deity is so biased.

If he will accept one, he should take me. How many years have I followed him?

You? The Western Sea Lord personally came here before

and wanted his son to be taken in by Senior Deity as a disciple. Senior Deity did not even agree then.

You two are both fishes.

- You think you have more prestige than a Sea Lord? - I...

I called you all here to help me come up with ideas.

You've been here half a day. What have you been talking about?

Siming.

You usually have the most ideas. You speak first.

- Me? - Tell us!

Heavenly Emperor has given the decree, and it has already been announced to the whole world.

The marriage date has been set, so what else can I do?

Based on what you said, I can only accept my fate?

Otherwise, just endure the grievance?

If I want you to marry Shisan now, are you willing?

I am willing!

I am not asking you.

No... This... Wait a minute. Let me think about it again. Not that..

I have one.

Say it.

High God, why not return to the mountain of Heavenly Supreme Lord for a while and go into secluded cultivation.

Cultivate there for several tens of thousands of years. Let us just discuss this again once the storm has passed.

You think I never thought of that?

Before I came here to see you, I had just come down from my Teacher's mountain.

I still have not gone into seclusion, and my Teacher already beat me to it.

I did not even get to see him!

If you ask me, why not kneel outside the Grand Hall of the Heavenly Palace?

Earnestly ask Heavenly Emperor to take back his decree. If he still insists on going about it his way,

why not...commit suicide by banging your head in front of him,

to show your resolution by death rather than obedience!

Are you serious?

You all can listen to it as if it is real.

The injuring-oneself-to-gain-pity act, a delaying tactic.

This... What is important

is your resolute attitude of being unwilling to comply even until death!

I am a high god.

You're sure that if I bump my head into the jade pillar of the Heavenly Palace,

I will die?

How will we know if we do not try?

Just get out of here!

I will get out now.

Then...High God?

This seems to be my palace hall.

What is bad about Fairy Yuli?

You act like you are being aggrieved a lot because she is being married off to you?

I instead think that Fairy Yuli is very smart and gentle.

Generous and adorable. A very good lady.

Good? Then why don't you marry her?

I want to!

But she does not like me.

Based on what you said,

it is my great honor that she likes me?

- Then... - Lord Baishan is here!

Greetings, High God Yunfeng.

Lord Baishan, are you looking for me?

It is just coincidental that I met you here.

I was ordered by Heavenly Emperor

to look for Heavenly Generals Kaiyang and Hanzhang.

Kaiyang and Hanzhang, listen to the decree!

Here.

As ordered by Heavenly Emperor, you two are to go down the mortal world immediately.

Investigate if the matter of the Taowu beast disturbing the humans

is connected with the Demon Lord.

I will strictly obey the decree of Heavenly Emperor!

I will go! I will go!

Strange occurrences in the mortal world is a huge matter.

Letting the two of them go is useless!

I will personally go.

This... Heavenly Emperor especially instructed

that you are not to be allowed to leave the Heavenly Palace,

until you and Fairy Yuli are married.

Generals, leave quickly and return soon. The Heavenly Emperor is now waiting for your report.

Yes!

Lord Song. Brother Xiu has left.

He left me a letter, saying that something came up in his hometown and he must rush back there.

Let him leave then. We just met him by chance. No need to miss him.

He left me a potted plant, and asked me to take care of it for him.

This letter was also left days ago.

These past days, I was busy taking care of you and did not notice it.

He probably will still return.

You can't bear for him to leave?

Not really.

He asked me to care for his plant.

Since it is caring on his behalf,

I reckon that he will back.

Usually a fate like this with a start but no end is a doomed one.

Go. Let us buy some cooking ingredients.

How I hope that the people of my clan

can see all of this.

- Greetings, Savior. - Greetings, Adoptive Father.

How are the preparations?

The enchantment to open the seal is ready. We are just waiting for your orders.

Good.

The opening of the Spirit-Binding Abyss

is the day that Demon Lord will rule over the Six Realms.

Savior, because of the creation of the enchantment, demonic aura has been spreading.

A lot of evil beasts have become restless and this has alarmed the Heavenly Realm.

Yuantong who is guarding Dark Capital Mountain has also led several inspections. I am worried--

Why worry?

We just need to wait for the coming of the blood moon day

and everything will be a done deal.

Have you taken care of that little brat?

We did.

Good.

Put on more effort into finding Jingxiu then.

Although he is already disabled,

we must still eliminate the grass by its roots.

Yes.

Why are you drinking in broad daylight?

You scared me!

Senior Brother.

Why choose a time to drink?

But you, with so many immortal dwellings here in the Heavenly Palace,

you are just strutting in here after leaving your body?

Are you not afraid of others bumping into you, capturing you because of being mistaken as a lone wandering ghost?

I have something I want you to do.

I just knew that you would not be back here for nothing.

What is it?

When I told you to investigate Tianxi Palace last time,

are you sure there was nothing strange?

I am sure.

Where is State Preceptor Jingxiu?

I alredy told you that.

State Master said that State Preceptor Jingxiu committed a mistake and got locked up in prison.

I remember it very clearly that State Master Lingyue was very unhappy.

She even scolded us for meddling in their affairs.

If he is in prison, why did he appear in the mortal world?

That man by Ling Xi's side is State Preceptor Jingxiu?

State Master Lingyue lied to us. I fear that she is hiding something.

Shanling Tribe might really be in trouble.

Or else, how could a distinguished State Preceptor Jingxiu stay in the mortal world for so long?

This matter is indeed strange.

Lord Song.

Lord Song, are you inside?

Lord Song, I am coming in.

You are in here.

Do you feel better today?

Lord Song.

Lord Song.

Lord Song, what is wrong?

Lord Song!

Jingxiu stayed in the mortal world for quite a long time.

Ling Xi said that he was gravely injured when he arrived.

He was also blind.

With his power, he could have not been injured to that degree.

I fear that something bad must have happened to the Shanling Tribe.

The relationship between our Heavenly Race and Shanling Tribe is a bit tense.

Also, State Master Lingyue made it clear

that we should stop meddling. Heavenly Emperor also does not want to create more trouble.

If I enter Shanling Tribe again to investigate,

I fear that it will invite more conflict.

Hence, it is inconvenient for both of us to handle this matter.

Let Hanzhang find some minor immortals from the lower realm,

then send them to Shanling Tribe to secretly investigate.

If it is just a fight between Jingxiu and Lingyue, then fine.

If the Demon Tribe is involved,

then this is not just a matter concerning the Shanling Tribe.

Yes.

Senior Brother, it was not easy for you to be back.

I have a very important matter to discuss with you.

Say it.

I mentioned to you last time about my marriage. It is really urgent.

Very urgent.

It is more urgent than that blind State Preceptor Jingxiu.

Senior Brother, you also know

that my wedding date is fast approaching. Heavenly Emperor refuses to see me.

My heart already belongs to someone.

I cannot have a change of heart!

If others meet a matter like this, they still have family elders that can come out to help them.

But I... am an orphan.

I only have you and Respected Teacher.

Senior Brother, after thinking about it, only you can help me.

Lord Song. Lord Song. What is wrong with you?

- Respected Teacher is ignoring me! - Lord Song.

Senior Brother, I can only rely on you! Senior Brother!

Senior Brother! I am not done speaking!

Senior Brother!

What should I do?

He does not look sick.

More like being possessed...by some evil thing?

Not good, I must look for a doctor!

You are awake?

Something wrong?

Earlier, I was calling you

but you wouldn't wake up?

I was sleeping too soundly.

- Sleeping? - Yes.

You slept while sitting up?

This is a more advanced type of cultivating and health nursing method.

Why did you come see me?

I have been home for three days.

I came to check if you are better.

If you are, I will go to work now.

So, are you better?

That is good then. I will go to the pharmacy now.

There is food in the house. Just heat it up if you are hungry.

Okay.

Rest well.

Although she is weak, she is kind.

She loves to help people who are weaker than she is.

What is wrong?

Why are you coughing so badly?

Maybe because my internal organs were injured that day. This might just be nor⁠—

I told you to still take your medicines.

Sit down.

Wait here. I will go prepare your medicine.

What are you doing?

Finding something.

Finding what?

A ruler. Your clothing is torn.

The damaged area is not easy to mend.

I want to make you some new ones.

You want to get my measurements?

Where did it go?

In talking about love, you cannot just sit and discuss the principles. Do not put on airs.

Anyway, eight words, be bold and attentive,

sweet tongue and kind face.

We can make do without a ruler.

How?

Measure it this way.

No! I cannot.

Aren't you making clothing for me?

Measure it this way.

♫ A blossom has been opening quietly over the years ♫

♫ You're disturbing my thoughts, troubling me even far away at night ♫

Lord Song. I...am done measuring. ♫ But even so, my heart is not distracted ♫

Let go of me. ♫ Whether going to the highest heaven, tethering the moon ♫

♫ Or entering the world of mortals, smiling and discussing unimportant matters ♫

Will you just measure the waist circumference and not the arm span? ♫ It's only because for my heart's been targeted from the sky! ♫

It is fine. I already have an estimate. ♫ Desiring to enclose your hand to warm it up in my pocket, and join the mortal world ♫

No way. If this clothing is short, can I wear it?

Measure it. ♫ Desiring to warm ourselves by the fire, dressed in clothes less fancy but well-fitted ♫

♫ Desiring light words like rice, grain by grain, to boil finally into sweet talk ♫

♫ Desiring you and I be written into the Will of Heaven ♫

This is how an ordinary husband and wife live. The husband works, ♫ Every time you take refuge from the world ♫

while the wife sews... clothing. ♫ Whether half-resting on clouds of smoke from kitchen chimneys asleep, or entering an exquisite park ♫

You are done measuring? ♫ Your winning countenance is that of the Peach Blossoms Spring's orioles and swallows (T/N hidden land of prosperity and peace, a utopia) ♫

How many? ♫ Not hearing news of you from outside the shuttered window, is like thousands of sharp cold blades striking me ♫

♫ Forcing streaming torrents from my heart to pour into the fields of my dreams ♫

If your memory is that poor, how will this work?

One more time.

You are playing with me.

Measure it.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

I, Yunfeng, greet Heavenly Emperor.

Please rise.

Heavenly Emperor, I have a very important matter to ask for your decree about.

Of course I know why you sought me.

Let me tell you, your marriage with Yuli has been decided.

If you want to cancel it, there's no way!

Heavenly Emperor, I already love someone. I will never submit to Yuli.

An old man like you randomly pairing up people like this will cause my death!

Yunfeng, you have used this excuse to fool me.

You think I still will fall for your trick?

No, it is not like that.

Informing Heavenly Emperor, High God, we got news from the lower realm

that Taowu beast became wild and appeared in Great Yue State.

After destroying several villages, it has escaped toward Dark Capital Mountain.

Dark Capital Mountain...

Right now, it is High Immortal Yuantong who guards the Dark Capital Mountain.

I request to be given the duty of going to Dark Capital Mountain to capture Taowu.

My Heavenly Palace's High God Yunfeng, when did you become this diligent?

Of course it is because Heavenly Emperor has taught him well.

Right. Right. It is all thanks to Heavenly Emperor for teaching me well.

I deeply sensed how I have neglected my official duties before,

been excessively naughty, a pain in the ass!

May Heavenly Emperor give me this chance to share Your Majesty's burden!

Yunfeng, are you sincere in sharing my burden,

or to obtain some gracious decree in passing?

It is naturally to share your burden, Heavenly Emperor!

But of course, if I am able to do this job well,

if you want to grant me some graces or reward,

I will also not refuse them.

Fine. Fine. Yunfeng, go down and take a look

as to what really has happened.

Baishan, accompany Yunfeng.

Yes.

Go.

Doctor Qingyao.

Do you know what entity we are fighting this time?

Taowu beast. Do you know what you should be careful about in dealing with it?

May High God enlighten us.

The Taowu beast is a very stubborn creature.

It does not understand kind words.

Its appearance is like that of a tiger,

but has a human-like face.

It has an excessively violent personality, its tail is eight feet long,

and it has a pair of very huge...

fangs.

High God Yunfeng.

High God Yunfeng, you are not done speaking.

Anyway, remember what I just said.

The Taowu beast is too fierce and violent. Just leave it to me.

Preserve your own lives. Understand?

Understood!

Doctor Qingyao.

You are back.

Senior Sister, do you need anything from me?

Nothing really.

Oh right. Later, I will be sending off

my betrothed, High God Yunfeng.

I heard that he got sent by Heavenly Emperor to Dark Capital Mountain to suppress demons.

How is there any demons at Dark Capital Mountain?

He must be referring to Demon Lord?

Say, when the God of War sealed the Demon Lord,

he almost died.

That Yunfeng only knows those few moves.

We still are not officially married.

Am I going to be a widow already?

We are engaged after all. It is better that I send him off.

I will not talk to you anymore. I am going to send my husband off.

Or else, I may not be able to see him again.

Anyway, remember what I just said.

The Taowu beast is too fierce and violent. Just leave it to me.

Preserve your own lives. Understand?

Greetings, High God Yunfeng and Lord Baishan,

Where is the Taowu beast?

In the narrow gorge. As for its exact location, I do not know.

As the guarding general of Dark Capital Mountain,

with the Taowu beast escaping into your territory, you do not even know his location?

High God Yunfeng, you have said it too seriously.

Dark Capital Mountain is the place where Demon Lord is sealed. There is demonic aura covering it all day long.

Although I am the guarding general here,

in reality, I am just a scout.

With my level of power, if I frequently go in and out of Dark Capital Mountain,

even if I have a mind-arousing pill to stay focused and stabilize my core,

I fear that I will still lose my mind and become demonized.

You really have cleanly cleared yourself from any blame.

Baishan.

Stay here. I can go alone.

Lord Baishan, please go inside.

General, don't we need to follow and help High God in eliminating the monster?

With a distinguished high god like him fighting against an evil beast,

would he need us?
