[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 42 ]

I'm from the Heavenly Tribe and have a long life.

When the time comes, we all have to endure trials.

Lingxi is not the only person who will experience trials as a mortal.

Senior Deity, you risked the danger of the Fire Essence extinguishing

and stayed in the mortal world. Why the need to do so?

Are you worried she won't be able to safely go through the trial?

I have faith in this.

- Then, why did you...- Physician Qingyao.

I heard you went through the trial in the mortal world fifty thousand years ago.

But because of Yunfeng, you lost your partner in the mortal world.

Because of it, you became melancholic and won't forgive Yunfeng..

Is this true?

It was fifty thousand years ago, but you still can't forget?

You must have been very grief-stricken.

Just a lifetime of love, yet you were full of sadness.

What about Lingxi then?

Most deities of the Heavenly Race are prejudiced. But if you really do not have any obsessions,

you will never have improvements in cultivation.

But we are required to immerse ourselves in the mortal world,

and experience the seven affections and six sufferings.

Hence, most deities have seen through mortal emotions,

are heartless and unable to love.

I have experienced this too.

I don't know what she will encounter

and who she will meet.

But I hope that one day in the future,

if she was hurt by another and abandoned, when she is sad,

she will want someone to be by her side

so she'll feel a bit of warmth in her heart.

But Senior Deity, quietly watching her

enduring the bitterness of the human realm,

won't your heart be in pain?

As long as she can get through the trial,

and return with hope in her heart,

it's all worth it.

Mo Mo.

Lord Song.

When I couldn't find you when I woke up, I thought...

- I thought you...- What did you think?

I went out for a walk.

Are you hungry?

You didn't have dinner?

I will cook a bowl of noodles for you.

You know how to cook noodles?

It's probably not that difficult. I have seen you cooking it.

Thank you.

Your face...

Thank you.

Aren't you eating?

I cooked this for you. Try it.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Eat more then.

I'm full.

It was delicious.

Lord Song, is our engagement still valid?

Of course it's still valid!

But you are a member of a religious sect. Can a sect brother take a wife?

What's wrong? Are you worried about this?

I'm not.

I heard from a friend that

sect brothers don't take meals.

If they don't take meals, what do they eat then?

He said they only consume the moisture from dew,

flowers and air.

Anyway, it is not the usual grains.

A friend told me,

if you do not have food cravings, then your life will be too boring.

Hence, I do take meals.

Your friend?

How is that person like?

A very important person.

- I'm going to wash the bowls. - I will do it.

Rest early.

No matter when and how much suffering she encounters, when the time comes, her trials will end.

Senior Deity cannot help her. This is her trial, but also her chance.

Once she successfully gets past the trial, her six bowels will clear up, her dantian acupoint will open,

her nine acupoints will have no impediments, her muscles and bones will re-form

she will be reborn, her souls will return,

the demonic aura naturally will disappear.

Not only will Ling Xi able to return to immortal status, she will also obtain great luck.

If you forcefully interfere, you will only foil it.

Your hard work will be for naught.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I'm going to sleep shortly.

You have worked hard.

♫ A blossom has been opening quietly over the years ♫

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

♫ But even so, my heart is not distracted ♫

♫ Whether going to the highest heaven, tethering the moon ♫

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

♫ It's only because for my heart's been targeted from the sky! ♫

You got up early? ♫ Yielding to your wandering aimlessly, while holding your heart closely grounded ♫

I'm taking you to work.

No need. I can go on my own. ♫ Yielding but not releasing you, when you brandish your fist at night ♫

Let's go.

♫ Yielding to the difficulty of calamity every step of the way, to pass through and receive you as my marriage partner ♫

♫ Yielding to the destiny of this life, accepting one another ♫

♫ Every time you take refuge from the world ♫

I'm here. ♫ Whether half-resting on clouds of smoke from kitchen chimneys asleep, ♫

I'm leaving. ♫ or entering an exquisite park ♫

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

It was tiring for you. I will pick you up after work. ♫ Not hearing news of you from outside the shuttered window, is like thousands of sharp cold blades striking me ♫

♫ Burning sticks of incense before a temple, to share this life with a beautiful woman ♫

♫ An unfinished cup of tea, as its fragrance winds around me like a longevity knot ♫

♫ Flying wing to wing with you year after year, you are as ageless as springtime ♫

He has already left.

Aunt Guan. ♫ Forming our bond while among the common folk, ♫

A'Mo, if you can't bear to see him go, ♫ while next to the mouth of a spring ♫

why don't I talk to Physician Sun to let you take two days off? ♫ Forcing streaming torrents from my heart to pour into the fields of my dreams ♫

Aunt Guan, what are you saying?

Say, do you think this talisman works?

Didn't that Master say already? This will fend off evil spirits.

Then let's hurry home and put it up.

- Is your news accurate? - I heard that this Daoist master's magic is very effective.

- Really! - Yes, yes.

I'll go first.

Heavenly Master,

It's finally my turn.

Heavenly Master, it's such a hot summer day,

but why was there someone iced at the docks?

And... and it didn't melt for several days!

Master, do you think it's the work of demons?

Kindness will be repaid in kindness, evildoers will suffer consequences.

The person you're talking about, are they kind or evil?

This person bullies men and oppresses women, hiding along the streets.

He's not a good person.

Exactly.

This is the heavens punishing an evil person, what does it have to do with you?

But...

Go back and do more good deeds.

An immortal will surely bless you.

Here, put this talisman on your door.

It can protect your whole family to keep them safe.

Thank you, Heavenly Master.

Next!

I, your disciple, greet you, Immortal Teacher!

I didn't know you actually had this kind of skill.

Is it useful?

Civilians just want to have peace of mind.

I can also make some money in return.

Teacher, if you don't like it, I can return it to them later.

If you do not improve yourself by practice, it will be hard for you to achieve a grand undertaking.

Teacher, please enlighten your disciple!

Teacher, what is this?

Take this invitation and go to Purple Swallow Mountain in Nanping Prefecture, to the immortal dwelling of Qingsong.

Look for a position under Master Qingsong.

Once he sees this invitation, he will take you to a cave for cultivation.

Teacher...

I just want to follow you as your disciple,

to learn from you.

I have important matters to attend to, I don't have time to teach you.

Once your cultivation bears fruit, he will bring you to see me.

Teacher, I still do not know what to call you.

Where am I supposed to go in the future to find you?

Heavenly Mountain, God of War Jiuchen.

Teacher's title...

is really resounding.

You're the first disciple I have taken in.

Your skills are average and you're not very smart,

your personality is also a bit lazy.

And you do not have an outstanding bloodline or spiritual foundation.

You are still my disciple.

You just need to remember this: starting today,

you must be diligent in achieving the righteous path, strictly guard your initial aspiration.

If one day your cultivation bears fruit,

but you have developed evil intentions and bring trouble to the world,

I will definitely kill you without mercy!

Your disciple will remember this!

I will strictly follow your teachings.

- Why is he kneeling? Quickly get up. - Why are you kneeling here?

- Why is he making such a formal bow? - Indeed!

Master! Master!

Steamed buns, steamed buns.

Let's go.

Okay. Let's go!

Master, where are we going?

To seek the the great righteous path! (T/N Dao)

This is mine.

Master! Wait for me!

Sangnan Xingjun went to the mortal realm to complete his trial. It's been more than fifty thousand years,

why has he not returned yet?

Informing Heavenly Emperor, the love trial of Star Lord Sangnan is not yet over.

It is just a single life's love trial. Must it take this long?

You are the Star Lord of Siming Hall, in charge of the lives and fates of the human realm,

you must handle this matter well.

Yes.

I haven't worn a man's attire in fifty thousand years.

I feel a bit unused to it.

Everything is fine, why do you need to wear man's attire?

I came out to help you with your task.

Wearing a man's attire is better.

When we girls walk around the Six Realms,

it is just natural to be more careful.

I didn't tell you to come, you wanted to come on your own.

What are you mumbling about?

Nothing. I was saying, you look good regardless of what you wear.

Fairy, may I ask how to get to the Medicine Hut here in Peach Forest?

Greetings to both of you older brothers. (T/N friendly greeting of strangers, not relatives)

Who are you looking for in the Medicine Hut?

- We... - Wait a minute!

What did you just say?

"Brothers"? Both of us?

- Are you sure? - There's just one.

I want her to say it!

If I have offended you in any way,

may this older brother forgive me!

You still dare to call me "brother"?

Open your eyes and look clearly!

Am I your brother?

Sorry! Sorry! It is I who am blind! May the Immortal Lord appease your anger!

So, what should you call me now?

I... I...

Could it be...because you are so old,

- I should call you "Uncle" instead? - You--

How dare you! Who dares to come to my Peach Forest and act atrociously?

I was wondering who it could be.

Turns out it's you.

What? The Heavenly Palace cannot tolerate you, so you come here to our Peach Forest to show off?

Are you bullying us for not having anyone here?

Misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. We have no ill intent.

I can go wherever I want to!

That is much better than you, getting guarded that you cannot even leave your house's doors.

- Shisan. - You're so great!

But you were still beaten by Tianlei that you almost couldn't get out of bed?

You!

I'm still better than you.

If it was you, you probably couldn't get out of bed the rest of your life!

Well, you–

Forget it. I will not argue with a girl.

Even if you want to, can you beat me?

- Do you think I'm actually scared of you? - Please don't be angry.

You must be the disciple of Doctor Le Bo, Immortal Lord Chengyan.

I am Han Yuanxin, the Star Lord of the Siming Palace.

I have a matter to seek Doctor Qingyao. Please give us this accommodation.

Follow me.

Star Lord Siming, why did you come here?

Doctor Qingyao, you have outstanding medical skills.

There are a lot of living humans in heaven and earth.

I came to find you, of course it's for you to save a life.

It doesn't look like you, Star Lord, are ill.

It's not me. I am here for someone else.

Who?

A mortal from Wei County, Lord Fang.

What's wrong with him?

He is severely ill,

I'm afraid he won't make it.

How is that possible? Was it not said that he will reach a first-rank official level,

stay healthy all his life, and die in his sleep?

It was that way at first. But then...he met you.

After you two separated in the capital, he became bedridden with illness.

The fate of mortals is under my control.

Now that Lord Fang's fate changed, this can become minor or major.

His health can be cured by medicines, but lovesickness...

You are still needed to cure it.

Lovesickness? What you mean is...

Shall I personally make a trip there?

No need. I just need to ask for an item from you

which can sever his suffering from missing you.

They all say this Peach Forest is beautiful. Now that I've seen it today,

it is indeed true.

Your brain isn't of much use, but at least you're not blind.

Watch what you're saying.

Since I arrived, you have been acting strange.

Ling Xi is so friendly. How could she have a junior like you?

I have been talking all day.

You do not even know to serve me anything.

In what way do you want to be served?

Since I am here in your Peach Forest, of course I must have a taste of your Bixin wine.

You really know the good items.

Our Peach Forest's Bixin wine is the number one in the world.

Of course. I once drank one in High God Yunfeng's house.

That wine was indeed as described by Ling Xi, one and only in this world.

Even the Jade Flower and Dew of the Heavenly Palace cannot compare to it.

- You've drunk it before? - Of course.

But with your tolerance,

I'm afraid you'll be done after one glass.

Who are you belittling? You think I am you?

Being confined here in Peach Forest all day.

Fine if you cannot defeat the Heavenly Generals sent by Heavenly Emperor.

You even use wine to drown your sorrow all day, when you have such poor alcohol tolerance.

Getting severely drunk every time.

Your matter is known throughout the Heavenly Palace.

Bullshit! Who dares say that my drinking tolerance is bad?

I just do not have any competition.

I am not afraid to tell you that when it comes to drinking, the only person who can make me fall drunk is myself.

Then what are we waiting for? Come on!

Today, I will make you lose very willingly.

The last time I drank with High God Yunfeng,

- then– - Stop right there!

What are you two doing?

Chengyan wants to compete drinking with me.

There is not much Bixin wine left.

It is already not enough for you to drink,

and you even dare to ask others to drink with you?

What does this mean? Didn't you say in this Peach Forest, other than your sister, you're not afraid of anyone?

How come one must still get other people's permission just to drink a wine?

For others, not really needed.

But to drink the Bixin wine, we indeed must get the permission of Hualiao.

- Why? - Because...

Because to make this wine,

you need my leaves as ingredients.

Chengyan promised me before

that no matter who wants to touch the Bixin wine,

they must get my permission.

Or else I will leave home,

and he'll never be able to make the wine again!

So that is why.

Your hair is so beautiful.

I didn't think it also had this use.

This is nothing.

Let me secretly tell you, before I came to the Peach Forest,

my hair was even more beautiful than now!

Really?

Today is my birthday.

I just want a taste of that Bixin wine,

But I didn't expect it to be this valuable.

I guess my little wish won't be able to come true now.

Then that's too pitiful.

Then can you let me taste it? Just one sip.

- One sip? - One sip! Just one sip!

It is agreed then, just one sip.

Just one sip.

Here. This is Bixin wine.

It's not me being stingy. There really isn't much left.

So fragrant.

Let me go get you a ladle.

No need. I can do it myself.

You... unhand that!

No... no, stop drinking that!

Stop!

The wine's gone. It's all gone!

I only drank one sip, nothing more.

- I said one sip... - You...you...!

You tricked me! Give me back my wine!

The wine's gone!

Give me my wine!

Thank you, Doctor Qingyao.

Oh no, it must be Shisan that caused trouble again.

Give me my wine!

Why is it so hot?

When will this end?

It's cool at the docks, you can go over there.

What nonsense are you saying?

I'm not going over there. Do you dare go?

I am not that bold. Aren't you complaining of the heat?

Even if I die from the heat, I still won't go there!

Say, that Xu Hai must have done something very evil.

Or else in this weather, why did he freeze?

So many officials have gone there, but they're unable to move him.

A lot of people say that he suffered heaven's retribution.

Right now, that place feels so evil. Who would dare to go?

Could it be some evil monster running amok?

No chance. Our fishing town has long been peaceful.

In the past it was, but now it is not anymore!

Have you forgotten about the evil beast?

A'Mo.

A'Mo, did you see it clearly that day?

That day, I was so terrified and didn't dare to look.

But I think these two things probably aren't related.

You cannot be sure.

Isn't your house close to the docks?

You must avoid it later!

Be careful!

Momo.

What's wrong? Is there someone on your mind?

If I am able to give it to you, I can take it away.

You have long offered your life to me.

It is very easy for me to kill you.

I understand.

I have sent men to search.

I am sure that there will be news soon.

She is in the mortal world. I know it.

Jiuchen must have sent her to the mortal world to go through trials.

Once she successfully goes through her trials and the demonic aura in her disappears,

I will never have a chance to see the light!

Do you think you'll still be able to live?

Demon Lord, please appease your anger.

The Heavenly Palace has been suspecting us lately.

They have sent people to spy on us.

If they discover and send their army to attack,

then everything we have done will be in vain.

The best option now is to open the Spirit-Binding Abyss first

and let our grand army enter this realm.

By then, we will not even be afraid of the Heavenly Palace.

Would we still be afraid of capturing a little immortal girl?

Remember, if you dare play around with me,

you know the consequences.

I wouldn't dare.

- Adoptive Father. - Savior.

How do you do your job?

How come you still have not found

the person I told you to find?

It is... indeed my negligence.

My people are so incompetent.

I... will immediately send more men to look for her.

Adoptive Father, it will be the blood moon night soon.

Lord Heichi is also needed in the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

He is also unable to divide himself.

The God of War has sent that minor immortal to the mortal world to go through trials.

Once she successfully goes through them,

that minor immortal will return to the Heavenly Palace.

The Demon Lord will then have no chance of escaping his seal.

So you must bring her to me

before she finishes her trials.

- Yes. - Yes.

Qinyuan!

Thank you for defending me earlier.

You helped me last time. I am just returning the favor.

You are a romantic.

How could I not support you as your friend?

I heard that Princess Baoqing was injured when she was escaping.

Do not know where she is now, and if she is safe.

We have free time today to come to your Siming Palace.

We brought you two jars of good wines.

No, you two...

Say, why do you keep pacing back and forth? You are making me dizzy.

I might... have committed a grave mistake!

What mistake could you make?

Did you pull the beard of God of Heavenly Thunder

or steal High God Yunfeng's woman?

In this Nine Heavens, with Senior Deity as your backer, nothing is worthy of being called a problem.

What did you say earlier?

You really pulled God of Heavenly Thunder's beard?

No!

Then, you were frivolous with Doctor Qingyao?

No...

But something similar.

You're dead!

High God Yunfeng will surely cut you into pieces!

There is no use, even if you fret about it.

Why don't you do this? While you are still alive,

merrily drink with us.

The two of us will send you off.

Come. Come.

Siming!

Stop right there!

Why are you hiding from me?

I am not.

High God Yunfeng.

Siming.

Is my Senior Brother still in the mortal world guarding Ling Xi?

Yes.

I have urged him a few times, but he was still unable to be at ease.

Ling Xi is not here anymore.

Senior Brother is not here either.

Fuyun Hall is so cold, enough to freeze a person.

Then, if you feel bored, why not go out and have a stroll?

Stroll?

Take a stroll.

Hey, High God, where are you going?

Peach Forest.

High God, please wait! Please wait.

High God, there is Green Hill, Kunlun, and Nanyue.

If that's still unappealing, there are the Four Seas?

Why must you go to Peach Forest?

You do not know this anymore. It does not matter where to go,

the important point is where that person is.

Go back to work then, I'm leaving.

High God! High God!

This...this...

Why are you mumbling? What do you want?

Recently, I suddenly felt anxious. I used my fingers to predict the future,

and predicted a disaster falling upon me soon!

If that is really the case,

High God Yunfeng will surely not ignore me, right?

When we deities will be facing a huge disaster, we indeed can sense it.

What did you predict?

I...

I calculated that recently, there might be

a bloody disaster.

That severe?

High God, we have been in Heavenly Palace for tens of thousands of years, have a close relationship.

Even if I say that we are like real brothers, I am not being excessive, right?

If I really... I am saying if—

Do not worry, Siming.

No matter what happens, I surely will ensure your safety.

Then, let us not go to Peach Forest anymore.

I still have some pure wine. Why not have some drinks with me

to suppress my shock? How about it?

This...

Siming! Why are you two here?

High God Yunfeng.

Shisan, you came just in time.

Siming earlier invited me for a drink in his palace. Let us go together.

What good wine can there be in his palace?

In terms of drinking wine, one must go to Peach Forest--

Shisan!

I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to tell you.

Come with me.

What is it?

Just come with me.

High God Yunfeng, sorry. I cannot accompany you today.

Let us go.

- What is it? - You!

What was that? So weird.

[ Bixin Lane ]

You caught a cold. I will prescribe you two medicines.

They can dispel the cold inside your body.

I caught... a cold?

It is not some evil creature following me, right?

What do you want? You want me to write you a peace talisman?

No, Doctor Sun. Just make your prescription.

A'Mo. When you go to and from work, can you see Xu Hai?

Now, it is the talk of the town

that the rich families have invited a very famous Heavenly Master to do a ritual.

He will be exorcising demons, and driving evil away!

What Heavenly Master?

I also do not know very clearly. Anyway, they make him sound so incredible.

He seems to be two hundred years old already!

Right now, he is preparing to start the ritual

and force that evil spirit to show himself.

Oh right.

A'Mo.

What is that?

This is an anti-evil wine.

Come.

Be careful where you keep this. I especially asked this for your behalf.

Drink a few sips tonight, then spill a little inside and outside your house. It can drive away evil spirits.

Take it.

I... do not want it.

I asked it on your behalf. How can you refuse it?

No! You cannot drink this.

No! No!

Wash your hands. Come here and wash your hands.

Washing them this long?

I will go back to cooking.
