[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 43 ]

The scenery here is very nice...

but it cannot compare to the prosperity of the big city.

What's wrong?

It's been many months since you've gone back, isn't that so?

Isn't it time for you to go back and have a look?

Are you... driving me away again?

No, I...

What are you doing?

When did you get here?

You want to save them?

Have you forgotten how they treated you?

I'm not saving them. I'm worried about you.

Worried about what?

There's ice in the month of Qiyue, and these two people are iced over here. (T/N 7th lunar month)

It's already caused chaos in the entire town.

I also heard a wealthy merchant in town

invited a very strong Master to dispel demons.

You're afraid that I'll be hurt by him?

Lord Song, I know you did it to save me.

It wasn't your intention for it to be this way,

but it has caused terror to arise. Besides, you're a scholar,

even if you learned some magic arts, you are probably not that formidable.

Even more so, that Heavenly Teacher is not an ordinary person.

I'm telling the truth. Aunt Guan says

he's over two hundred years old!

He has been practicing magic arts for over two hundred years too.

If you and your teacher are added up together,

I'm estimating it's not even two hundred years.

Then what do you want to do?

Why don't we go back to our hometown together.

I thought you didn't want to go back?

I didn't want to in the past.

Grandmother was strict, and my younger sister didn't really like me.

But so much time has passed.

I also miss Father and Mother dearly.

In addition, it's been so long.

Sister must've changed a lot.

Silly girl!

You haven't said yes or no yet?

No. Let's not go yet.

But...

Let them go.

Brother!

Immortal, spare our lives!

I wonder if Lord Song is up yet or not.

He's in his room all day, and I don't know what he's up to?

Forget it. I'll go cook.

You were looking for me?

When did you get here?

Weren't you looking for me?

I... I.. wasn't looking for you.

I'm leaving then.

Follow me.

I've finished making the clothes for you.

Try it on, see if it fits.

How is it? Does it fit?

Are the sleeves too short?

Is it too tight over here?

It's very good.

It looks good.

I said, the clothes I made look good.

They do look good.

I... haven't made the congee yet.

You're about to go hungry.

How is it? Does it look good?

Silly girl. Always talking about that rascal Jingxiu all day!

Now that you're in danger, will he come save you?

You didn't die, and you dare to come back?

Now that you know it's me,

you're not getting out of the way?

Lord!

Qinyuan, what happened?

Jingxiu is back.

Did he hurt you?

No.

He escaped again!

Young hens, five coins for one.

Old hens, twenty coins for one.

Raw eggs, three coins for two.

Cooked eggs, two coins for one.

If we keep selling young hens...

It's decided.

It's decided.

When did you get here?

What did you hear me say?

Then you tell, what did I decide on?

What decision?

Look. Eggs are getting more and more expensive these days.

We have to buy eggs to eat every day.

If we spend our money this way, it's not worth it.

So what?

We can raise our own chickens! Come here.

Look, we can make a coop here.

We don't have that much spare money now. We can buy an old hen first

and several young hens. The hens can lay eggs,

they can be eaten, and also hatch chicks.

When the chicks grow up, they can lay eggs too. Tell me...

Are you listening to me?

I am.

Then what did I say?

First clean up the courtyard and make a coop.

You are right. Once there are more eggs,

excluding the portion that we eat,

we can sell the rest for money.

Once we have the money, I will buy an embroidery frame. I can make clothes,

shoe insoles and also purses to trade for money.

You really like the life you have now?

- I like it. She has to go through three trials in this lifetime, destined to suffer.

If you are with her, you will see her in pain and being sad,

even dying. Can you do this?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Rear them if you like it.

A'Mo, let me tell you.

That frozen Xu Hai at the docks can now move!

Really?

Yea, don't you think it's odd? They were frozen for so many days, but they didn't die!

They are acting crazy now, but people like that

have done so many evil deeds. They deserved it!

[ Sun Pharmacy ]

Say, what's with A'Mo today?

Who knows? She came in this morning as if she picked up money on the road.

Really?

- Doesn't this look good? - Not really. - Choose a few more.

Miss, you really have good taste. Come, buy some silk flowers.

Selling silk flowers!

Miss, take a look. You will look elegant if you wear this on your head.

Do you like it?

- Thank you. - It's very pretty. Buy one. - I don't like it.

Looking at your expression, you distinctly like it.

I like eggs, chicken legs, and chicken breast.

I like things that I can eat.

Thank you.

Tanghulu! (T/N hawthorn berries, coated in a hard rock sugar, and skewered)

Lord Song, when is your birthday?

Eryue. (T/N Second lunar month)

My birthday is also almost here.

I remember last year, Grandmother asked the cook

to make me longevity noodles. I...

Lord Song, what's wrong?

Nothing. How about this year?

What gift do you want for your birthday this year?

Just cook a bowl of longevity noodles for me.

After all, we should save money to buy young hens.

Xiaobai, I've told you so many times,

this is not your den!

There's such a big yard for you to play in, is it not enough for you?

Come out now!

Xiaobai! Xiaobai, you come out of there!

Xiaobai!

Alright, get up. It's cold on the ground.

But... but he...

Xiaobai.

He listens to you so well.

You have a good temper, so he's usually not scared of you.

Usually?

The sun is nice today.

I will take out the blankets later and sun them.

Take out the flower and sun it too.

What flower?

The one in your room.

I don't think that one needs the sun.

How could a plant not need sun?

But Brother Xiu didn't say it needed sun.

Does he seem like someone that understand flowers?

I... I'll go take it out right now.

Why are you looking at me instead of reading?

This book is boring.

Then get another book.

You only have medical books here, there's not much I can read.

Then you should go back and rest soon.

I'm not sleepy yet.

Do you want to be a doctor in the future?

It's good to be a doctor.

You can make a living, and you can help others.

If any mishaps happen,

the wish won't be fulfilled.

What you're saying is, you don't like my being a doctor?

You don't like women to show themselves in public?

That's not it.

Then what is it?

There are many changes in the times and they are hard to anticipate.

There will always be accidents that suddenly happen

and mess up our plans.

Just like before. The Emperor's son was sick,

so they suddenly wanted my life.

So I had no choice but to leave home.

Such an unfortunate situation. It won't happen again, will it?

Lord Song, what do you want to do in the future?

Be a high-ranking official, general, or study

to become a heavenly master that eliminates monsters and demons?

I just want to be with you.

Mo Mo, the years may seem endless.

Perhaps one day, you will feel sad,

unjust, and will hate and resent.

But you must remember not to be devoured by resentment.

Do not fall into confusion.

Don't lose your sanity, and do something which you will regret.

No matter what happens or who you become in the future,

I will always be by your side,

protecting you with my life.

Lord Song.

You... you should keep reading.

I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep now.

This is... my room. Yours...

You're the one that came back.

♫ One morning, in that instant, all of my lifetime's days fell like stars perishing ♫

♫ All of the grass and trees were in harmony, and one flower to protect every living being ♫

♫ Every front line's dart, every sword, every spear seem to join with my bones to leave a lasting mark ♫

I will protect you.

Don't be afraid. ♫ As I participate in, not pass through this mystery ♫

You're here.

You are

the demon that Senior Deity sealed away?

Call me Demon Lord.

Why did you call me?

I called you?

Isn't it your heart that's calling out to me?

It's your heart that's calling out to me.

Just a measly Soul Absorption Technique, and you dare use it in front of me to make a fool of yourself?

I don't want to take your life.

Or else, do you think you could still stand here?

General Yuantong, from being one of the four great generals, you were demoted into a guarding general of Dark Capital Mountain.

How do you feel?

No need for your concern.

You're Yuanzheng's sister.

You can say we have some connection.

Since you came here to Dark Capital Mountain, I must take care of you.

The Heavenly Palace doesn't want you, why don't you follow me?

A dog without an owner.

Being sealed here and unable to see the light of day.

You still have the nerve to bewitch a Heavenly General to follow you?

General of the Heavenly Race?

You've been cast out to this place, it's clear the Heavenly Race abandoned you!

You still think you're a high and mighty Heavenly General?

If I kill you to gain a huge merit, I can still return to the Heavenly Palace.

Even Jiuchen couldn't kill me, yet you think you can?

If not because I was careless before and allowed Jiuchen to use a sneak attack on me⁠—

Don't you dare say Senior Deity's name!

Yuantong, I urge you to stop obstinately persisting with your ways.

Soon or later, you'll regret it.

You will kneel in front of me, crying and begging.

I will wait for you.

- A'Mo! - Okay.

- A'Mo! - Please get your medicine.

Come, come. Get a cup of water.

My throat is about to produce steam!

Aunt, where did you go?

Come, come. Let me have a drink.

I went to pray.

It hasn't been very peaceful in town these days.

First, there was a beast. Then there was that mysterious event at the docks?

Everyone is saying that there's a nasty element around!

Oh right. Today is the birthday of the Earth God. I went to his temple.

I happen to ask for two portraits of him. This one is for you.

Aunt, I don't need it.

Why not? A deity coming to your house will give you protection.

Since I have asked for it, you must accept it.

Take it!

Immortal Peng, it has been so long since you were here.

Yes, yes.

Have you been well lately?

Could something be troubling you? Why do you keep sighing?

It is hard to explain it with a few words.

If it is hard with a few words, then say more.

You do not really have any emergencies to handle!

You are so bold!

What can I do?

Star Lord Sangnan's one lifetime of love trial has already lasted for fifty thousand years!

It was not easy to finally find a sign that his trial is ending.

As the Star Lord heading the Siming Hall,

must I just ignore it and do nothing, just leave him wasting his time in the mortal world?

As if you do not know the personality of that High God? What if...

What if upon returning to the Heavenly Palace, Star Lord Sangnan will dwell on this matter,

how are you going to fix it?

That's why I'm worried!

Were you not given a land in the mortal world?

Why are you this free to come to my Siming Hall?

The place that I govern has very favorable weather for crops

and the citizens are very honest and simple people. There is not really much that I need to do.

Hence...

I am so envious of you.

Do not know if it was because I was too close with the Plague Deity

that I kept having bad luck? It is only now that my fortune has turned for the better.

[ Earth God ]

What's wrong?

I don't know. I suddenly feel very cold!

Cold?

We both are now deities.

We are not affected by warmth or chilled air. How could you feel cold?

Exactly.

It's time to eat.

This is...?

This is...

This is a deity portrait that Aunt Guan got from the Earth God's Temple.

She said that it can eliminate disasters and ensure our safety.

For me?

Aunt Guan said that the Earth God here is very miraculous.

You just need to offer him one incense offering a day and earnestly make a wish,

he will bless us.

[ Earth God ]

It's your turn.

Oh you!

Thinking about it will not do any good. You have done the deed,

just wait for the consequences.

Perhaps after Sangnan Xingjun returns to the Heavenly Palace,

he will have put down all those mortal matters.

Will that not be to everyone's delight and satisfaction?

Difficult.

Look, he wasted fifty thousand years in the mortal world and still was not able to successfully finish his trial.

After just seeing her twice, he showed signs of passing his trial.

It shows that he is a very devoted lover.

When he comes back...

Say, how is this his trial? This is clearly my trial!

Immortal Peng, what is wrong?

[ Earth God ]

This... I probably did not stick it up properly?

It must not be a good day today.

Do not stick it up anymore.

Let's eat.

Okay.

Let me see too.

[ Bai Yu Clinic ]

My Lord, the Miracle Doctor is not here.

I think no one has been in this place for a long time.

Do you want me to go out into the streets and ask around?

Forget it.

You may go.

Yes.

[ Doctor Qingyao ]

Did you forget? We've met many times in the past.

Yes. But I have always been respectful toward you,

and did not dare to directly look at Miss' beauty.

"Miss"?

Wife.

Tying our hair together to become husband and wife.

Never doubting that we will love each other until old age.

Being lovingly intimate and getting drunk with you at this blissful moment,

such wonderful times.

I will try my best to treasure this precious moment

and will never forget our happy times.

If I fortunately live, I will return to your side.

If I die,

I will forever think of you.

[ Lord of Heavenly Medicine's Manor ]

I feel much better!

Your qihai acupoint is billowing. The internal injury you suffered seem to be quite grave.

Who hurt you?

Did you take in the wrong medicine, or have a duel with someone?

No.

What then is the reason?

I need to know how you were hurt,

in order to know how to heal you.

If you refuse to speak,

how can I treat you?

Well...

I do not clearly know how I got hurt.

Before I came here, I asked Star Lord Siming to foretell my future.

I seemed to have enjoyed blessings that were not mine.

Received auspicious fortunes that I should have not received!

It is very hard to explain it.

Immortal Peng, please wait a moment.

Did you hear it? Star Lord Sangnan is back from his trial!

Who is Sangnan Xingjun?

You came here recently, so you don't know.

This is also an interesting story here in the Heavenly Palace.

Star Lord Sangnan is the leading star lord of Pixiang (Fragrant Incense) Hall,

the eldest son of Madam Yaoji.

Fifty thousand years ago, he went down the mortal world for a love trial.

But to everyone's surprise, it took him fifty thousand years to finish this trial!

We still have to deliver medicines. Let's go now!

Let's go, let's go.

Take two pills every day, you should be completely healed in half a month.

Thank you, thank you.

Doctor, have you seen Sangnan Xingjun before?

I've never seen him before.

Sangnan Xingjun really took fifty thousand years to get through a trial in the mortal realm?

Of course.

But a mortal's lifespan is no more than a hundred years.

If he endured a trial using a human body, how could it be as long as fifty thousand years?

Let me enlighten you about it.

Star Lord Sangnan is a magical mulberry and elm tree from the southern Great Heavenly Forest.

Every branch and leaf on his body

can become another body of his

that can walk down the mortal world on his behalf,

while his original body

has been lying in Pixiang Hall all these years.

His other bodies can also divide into a thousand versions of him

and thus stayed in the mortal world for so many years.

Counting it up,

he has slept longer than Jiuchen in the Immortal Sea!

So pitiful.

I heard that High God Yunfeng rejected his marriage

with Fairy Yuli because of you.

Then this means that your marriage will be happening soon. Congratulations!

Why do you say so?

Right. I still have something to do.

I... I will then...

take my leave now.

Immortal Lord, please take care.

Thank you.

Propose?

Indeed.

I plan to officially propose to Fairy Qingyao.

To my knowledge, there has been an endless stream

of men seeking Doctor Qingyao's hand in marriage.

But for tens of thousands of years, no one was successful.

Nonsense!

If they were successful, how could I have a chance?

Besides, am I the same as other people?

High God, I think you should be more cautious in handling this matter.

After all, Doctor Qingyao was always blunt with you.

Where did High God get your confidence?

See here, you people, other than pouring cold water on me, do you not know anything else?

I gathered you all here to help me come up with a plan,

not to strike me down.

Siming.

I support you, High God.

That's it?

This...

High God and Doctor Qingyao are a perfect pair,

a match made in heaven.

You should propose marriage to her now, right away.

With my foretelling eyes, I can predict

that this matter will be successful on one try.

Surely be successful.

We also should not rush it.

I have given it careful thought. This matter must not be done haphazardly.

We must still seriously plan it.

It must be novel, shocking, hit the target in one try!

It must be something that Qingyao will eternally remember.

I think that in this matter, you should be like a quick knife cutting through tangled hempen ropes!

What "auspicious day and time"? Why must it include all six etiquette forms?

All of those are just useless superficial things.

Why don't you just directly charge into that manor of the Lord of Heavenly Medicine and ask Doctor Qingyao,

"Do you dare marry me?"

What if... what if... she doesn't want to?

That is easy. Just...

change to another female immortal.

You plan to propose to Fairy Yuli like this?

What do you mean, Yuli?

What does this have to do with Yuli?

I don't know what you're talking about.

For a matter like a marriage proposal, you are asking them and not me.

You are really abandoning what's near to seek something that's far.

You?

Of course. I'm a woman, after all!

Of course, I understand what a woman thinks.

Then you say it.

Didn't you say you want it to be novel and unforgettable?

In proposing marriage, sincerity is most important.

You said it right.

And then it's the location of the proposal.

High God, think about it well. At what place can a marriage proposal feel more solemn, more formal,

and will show how much you give importance to her?

You said it so well, Shisan!

Quickly tell me, where should I do it? In front of whom?

At what place

can it look more solemn and ceremonial?

Do you still need to ask? Of course it's in the Spirit of the Brave Departed Hall.

Spirit of the Brave Departed Hall?

Right! Think about it.

Your whole family died because of the great war between gods and demons.

If you propose marriage in front of your whole family, all your ancestors

inside the Spirit of the Brave Departed Hall, isn't that very solemn and ceremonial?

Also, even if this matter fails,

whenever Doctor Qingyao passes by the Spirit of the Brave Departed Hall from then on, she will think of you.

And she will even remember your whole family.

Isn't it extremely memorable?

Shisan, you should go outside and take a walk.

Go outside and take a walk.

Wait. I still have so many ideas I haven't said yet.

Why are you telling me to go outside and take a walk?

All of your good ideas should be saved for when Siming proposes.

No need. When the two of us get married, we don't need...

You are overthinking.

What are you saying?

I've got it!
