[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 44 ]

Doctor Qingyao.

Fairy Shisan.

You need anything from me?

Senior Deity is back.

He wants you to go to the main hall for a discussion.

Senior Deity is back?

I am to go there now?

Okay.

Let us go.

Doctor, please hurry. Senior Deity is waiting.

Why the rush? Did something major happen?

Nothing major.

But, it is also not that minor.

When did Senior Deity return? How come I did not hear anything about this?

He... has been back for a while.

But upon returning, he went into seclusion.

Hence, it is not surprising that you did not know about it.

Let us hurry.

I have an agreement with Senior Deity that he will come to me to get his medicines upon returning.

Why did he not come?

This... I... don't know.

Fairy Shisan, if you still do not tell me the truth,

I will take my leave now.

Yao'er.

[ Star Lord Sangnan ]

Yao'er.

Lord Fang.

Why are you here?

You brought me home.

Me?

So...

You are that Star Lord Sangnan who went through his trial for fifty thousand years?

♫ This alone would allow you to hand over things completely for the rest of your life ♫

♫ We will write the verse ourselves ♫

♫ In order to embrace a romantic point in the long dark night, a lonely pillow shared ♫

♫ The stars in your eyes make the tears streaming down like a galaxy ♫

♫ inviting a heartfelt confession ♫

♫ Loving foolishly, just lose yourself in loving dearly this romance ♫

How come they are still not here?

How come I am getting nervous? What's going on?

Before you arrived, I kept thinking,

how I should tell it to you

for you to understand my feelings?

How should I say it, so that it will not look frivolous?

But when you truly came to my side, I realized

that all those lines I have thought of are all so dull and uninteresting.

That huge flood fifty thousand years ago that started the fate between us,

although it was not a good kind of fate,

it still brought us together.

Seeing you in pain about losing your loved one, I can empathize.

Your grief during your mortal stay is like a knife cutting my heart.

So many times have I wanted to embrace you and tell you

that it will be alright, you still have me.

I do not know why I fell in love with you,

but I can clearly tell you one thing,

my eyes can only accommodate you and no one else.

Qingyao--

Shisan?

How come it is you?

High God. You are such an expert!

I am very touched.

Where is Qingyao?

She was supposed to come here, but

she met an old friend along the way, so...

Old friend?

- Where are they? - Where are they?

Where are they?

That's right. Where are they?

I am asking you! Where are they?

They... are gone.

Gone?

Could they have gone to the manor of Lord of Heavenly Medicine?

High God!

I waited for you in the mortal world for fifty thousand years.

If not because you still remembered me,

I might have stayed in the mortal world forever,

and not ever entered the Heavenly Palace again to meet with you.

These past years, have you been well?

Never thought that a great flood

would separate us

for fifty thousand years.

On the day

when you found me,

why did you have to leave?

That day, I thought you were just an ordinary mortal.

I know that these things are not beneficial

for a mortal.

Right.

If we go back to that time again,

who I was then would still not want to know anything.

An ordinary mortal's comb.

You kept it for fifty thousand years.

Yao'er, thank you for helping me pass my trial.

I am very happy to see you again.

Say...aren't you High God Yunfeng?

Why are you standing here?

Did you get denied entry?

I am just walking around here.

What can you get by walking here outside?

You are not going in?

If I saw it right,

the one who entered is Star Lord Sangnan.

News has already traveled throughout the Heavenly Palace.

Very touching.

Before, Qingyao and Star Lord Sangnan went down the mortal world for their trials separately,

but ended up meeting each other.

What a pity that your great flood broke up this pair of lovers.

Qingyao died of depression, and successfully passed her trial.

But Star Lord Sangnan developed an obsession

and used his ability to make copies of himself to continue living in the mortal world and search for Qingyao.

That search lasted for fifty thousand years!

Say, what could they be talking about inside?

How would I know?

The night is long, a man and a woman all alone?

They are even old lovers who have reunited after a long time.

Anyone can guess what's happening.

Why are you getting mad? Going back to it,

if not for you, he would have successfully passed his trial and returned to his immortal post.

He is also a high god now.

May I ask for your comment on this?

You're just leaving? Are you not going to wait some more?

You did everything to make up for your past mistake

and caused Star Lord Sangnan to have a smooth-sailing life for fifty thousand years.

Totally without tribulations to go through.

If not because people of the Siming Palace gave it some attention,

I am afraid that it is very hard to say if Star Lord Sangnan could still return

here to the Heavenly Palace.

If he learns about the details of what happened,

and even learns that you fell in love with his old flame,

new grudge plus the old hatred...

I really do not want to imagine it.

Siming Palace?

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?

Siming. You can really predict things accurately!

[ Siming Palace Hall ]

You dare to avoid me?

Siming!

Siming!

Siming, you'd better come out here!

Siming! Come out!

He fled quite fast.

Let's see where you can flee to.

[ Fuyun Hall ]

- Siming. - Shisan.

Are you sure you did not come here to look for Senior Deity

and are here for me?

Right. How many times have I told you

that I came here to see you?

But in the past, it was always me going to Siming Hall to look for you.

Why did you come here to see me?

Was there a purpose in your every visit in Siming Hall?

But you still went there, right?

But I go there every time

because I want to see you.

Right! I also especially came here to see you.

Come, raise your foot.

But you can just come visit me.

Why must you do all my chores? What will I do then?

You do not need to do anything. Just sit there, and conserve your strength.

Just watch me.

What is good about you that I must watch?

I am too idle to be bothered by you. I will fetch water now.

How can you do such a laborious task?

Leave it to me. Where is the bucket?

But I have been doing laborious jobs every since..?

You now know to pity me?

I not only have pity for you,

just a moment away from you

and I lose my sense of security.

What nonsense are you saying? So cheesy!

Shisan, look, isn't it better to just close the main gates?

It is broad daylight. Why do you want it closed?

And I was wondering why you keep looking at the gates.

Are you afraid others will see us?

Right. Right.

Of course, we can close it,

but you must guarantee

that you will not act wildly.

Huh?

We are not yet married.

We have not made our bows in front of the eternal stone. We have not⁠—

- Siming! - Yunfeng!

- High God Yunfeng! - High God.

I was wondering why I could not find you, you wretch, anywhere!

So you're just here. Let's see where you can still hide!

High God, this is Fuyun Hall. Are you crazy?

Fuyun Hall? Even if this is the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, no one can protect him!

High God Yunfeng! High God, I also have my predicaments.

Just give your explanation after I'm done with you.

High God! You personally acknowledged

that we are brothers. As they say, brothers are like your limbs,

while women are like your clothes. May I ask which one is more important?

Nonsense! Of course, the clothes are more important!

Without limbs, you still can go out of the house.

If you do not wear any clothes, how could you go out to see people?

Siming, give me your life!

High God, have mercy!

No matter what he did, you are not allowed to bully him.

Or else, I will fight you!

You think you can stop me?

- Hurry and run! - High God!

- High God, have mercy! - I am quite good, High God!

Stop right there! Siming!

High God! Siming, quickly run!

Stop right there!

This pharmacy probably has the medicines that Old Master needs.

- Let's go and take a look. - Okay.

- First Miss Lin? - First Miss Lin?

That Miss Lin who is engaged to Young Master but ran away from home?

No, I must take a look.

Come look! Fresh vegetables!

Housekeeper.

Vegetables!

Come, take a look.

Melon seeds and dry merchandises!

How come she disappeared?

Customer, take care.

Housekeeper, are you alright?

Let's go get the medicines first.

Slow down.

Thank you, Doctor.

Doctor! Please take a look.

- He got hurt. - Injury from fall. - Injury from fall!

Okay!

- Slow down. - It will be alright after applying the medicine.

Teacher, has Miss A'Mo left?

She has left.

She left her bag.

She might have reached the dock by now.

Is the A'Mo you two are talking about a deaf-mute person?

She was before, but she is cured now.

Cured?

Why? You know her?

Do you know where she lives?

Old Man, hello.

Miss, hello.

May I ask why you are here?

I am waiting for someone.

Who?

The lad living in there.

Lord Song? Why not go in?

He did not let me in.

I will come back again later.

Lord Song.

You are back.

Earlier, there was an old man by the gate

who claimed that he is here to see you.

But he has now left.

He probably has no important reason to see me.

Anyone inside? Is anyone home?

Uncle Housekeeper, why are you here?

Miss Lin. It is indeed you.

You can talk and hear now?

Did you come here to see Lord Song?

Quickly come in.

They were indeed right.

You were indeed not living here alone!

Uncle Housekeeper, what do you mean?

Miss Lin, I initially thought that you were obedient and sensible.

Never thought that you are this wanton!

You were engaged to be married

and still ran away from home, causing your grandmother to be gravely ill!

Then you hid here, and mingled with a stranger!

You... I am so disappointed in you!

You... do not know him?

Of course I do not.

Miss Lin, my Old Master and Madam doted on you a lot.

Despite your being deaf and mute, they still wanted to marry you into their family.

Do you not feel ashamed for doing this?

If you still have a conscientious heart, you should immediately go back with me,

personally apologize to Old Master and Madam!

Fine. Miss Lin, I surely will tell your father about this.

I want to see how Old Master Lin will explain this to my Old Master!

Let us go!

Momo!

Momo!

Who are you?

Who really are you?

Lord Song? Why must you disguise yourself as Lord Song?

Why must you lie to me?

When did you start to fool me?

Were you lying to me

from the first time we met?

What do I have that is worthy for you to scheme like this?

I did not want to hurt you.

I just want to protect you.

Protect me?

Lying to me is protecting me?

Everything I have done is for your good.

You lied to me, bullied me. Now that you were exposed,

you still talk in a righteous manner.

You say that I lied to you. I admit it.

But you are also saying that I bullied you. Ask yourself,

after we lived together for so long,

when have I done anything to hurt you?

You might have not done anything now, but that does not mean you will not do something.

Once...

Once...

Once what?

You are stupid and silly, too weak to even withstand the wind.

I want to stay by your side always.

I just hope...

We... are not related in any way.

Why must you protect me?

Because I like you.

Like me...?

Right.

Like you. Care about you. Pine for you.

You can even say that it is love.

I never thought that I

would say such words one day.

I totally should not have appeared by your side,

but I was worried about you. Worried that if no one is by your side taking care of you,

you will starve and freeze.

But I was also worried that if someone takes care of you, you will forget me.

Do you understand?

Then, tell me, when did you start

to like me?

Long time ago.

When we first met?

Longer than that.

We knew each other from before?

How come I don't remember it.

It is fine. Even if you do not remember,

it is enough that I remember.

Then, who really are you?

If you honestly tell me everything now,

I can consider forgiving you.

My name is Jiuchen.

Jiuchen? Your surname is Jiu?

Yes.

That surname is quite rare.

Then, where do you live? Where are your parents?

Do you have siblings?

Are you a scholar, businessman,

or a farmer?

Oh right. You know immortal magic.

Could you be a cultivator?

Why are you not answering me⁠—

♫ For a flower to not be in harmony with her lord is to fall off a white cloud and become an ash-grey dog ♫

♫ Burying my concerns for an entire lifetime, Separating myself from a lifetime of sorrow, For the rest of my life, longing to be free ♫

♫ Only yielding to memories, as the thin streams flow forever (T/N working steadily little by little), allows me to enter another year ♫

♫ Dreaming that we'd stay together outside the dream is illusory, and in desperate times I look back ♫

♫ You're behind me still. ♫

Tell me! Where is your home?

What do you do for a living? Who is your family?

What do your parents do?

When did you know me?

Why did you go to Wei County, and why did you follow me here?

How come you are asking these questions again?

What do you mean, again?

You did not answer me earlier.

Do not think that with just some petty tricks, you can brush me off.

Background and status are the foundation on which a person establishes himself.

I do not even know you, so how can I be with you?

What if you are a sea pirate or a con artist?

I am a high god from the Nine Heavens.

You are not allowed to joke around. Be serious!

Where are you from?

From the north? The grasslands?

From Lingnan?

Why are women so troublesome?

They have to ask the same questions multiple times.

What do you know?

God of War, I pay my respects to you!

Quickly get up. Quickly.

Thank you, God of War.

Did Siming tell you that I am here?

Yes. Yes. God of War, do not worry.

I know what to do.

I know what should be said and not said.

God of War, please forgive Siming.

It is just that I do not know what I have done wrong

that offended you?

When you were eliminating demons and passed by Witch Mountain before,

you destroyed the mountain with one stroke of your sword! I was insensible then,

and hindered you from eliminating demons.

But then I did receive punishment for it.

A distinguished mountain deity like myself has become an Earth God in the lower realm!

- I... - Immortal Peng.

Create an identity for me.

Identity?

God of War, I cannot understand what you mean.

Are you not the Earth God here?

You surely know a lot about mortals.

Go prepare it. I just need evidence of where I lived,

what do I do for a living, and who else are in my family.

Okay. Okay.

May I ask if you have any requests about this identity?

Where did he come from? Is he engaged? Does he have any fields and shops? These shops and fields

are very important. Did you ask?

I must have some assets. Have good fields and shops. A meritorious reputation.

My family background must be a bit rich. I must look like a good match for marriage.

Anyway, whatever others have, I must have.

Okay. Okay. This is easy.

Then, I will go prepare it.

I will take my leave.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How did I fall asleep last night?

I do not remember it.

We were chatting last night, then you rested your head on the table and fell asleep.

Really?

About the things you asked me yesterday...

Yesterday...

You still have not told me where you live,

what do you do for a living, your parents⁠—

This is...

I'm from Taiping Prefect.

My parents are dead.

I still have a younger brother who is an adult now.

Some years ago, I served in the army.

When the war ended, I resigned and went home to take care of my younger brother.

For generations, my family has done business

in the field of tea and salt trading.

My family is quite well-off, and has some assets.

We have good fields and shops,

a huge mansion and servants.

Last time, when I went out to visit a friend,

I met you below a hill,

and fell in love with you at first sight.

Hence, I followed you up here.

I am not yet engaged.

I am a man worthy to be a marriage prospect.

[ "Female Servants Deed" (T/N also means "concubine") ]

You are not lying to me this time?

Am I a bad person?

Fine. Anyway, I also do not have anything that is worthy for you to covet.

But you, you are from a well-off family, have servants and mansions.

How come it feels like I am taking advantage of you?

What is that? Let me see!

You saw it wrong!

I have not yet said anything about what I saw, and you're already saying that I've seen it wrong? - I...

- Give it to me. - I got the wrong papers.

This is not mine.

Who owns that then?

It's my uncle's. I'll give it back to him!

You did not say you had an uncle earlier?

You... Stop right there!

[ Manor of Lord of Heavenly Medicine ]

Yao'er, I will leave now. No need to walk me out.

As if someone really wants to walk him out.

High God Yunfeng. Star Lord Siming.

Star Lord Sangnan.

My return was quite sudden, so I still have not visited you to thank you for helping me pass my trial.

If not for you, I do not know how long I would still be staying in the mortal world.

No. No.

The Star Lord's successfully passing your trial and getting promoted to high god

are all thanks to your abundance of good luck,

the blessings naturally endowed to you.

Moreover, Heavenly Emperor was the one who instructed this task.

I am just doing as he commanded. I dare not assume merit for it!

I dare not...

Star Lord, no need to be humble.

I know that you exerted effort to approach Yao'er

to help me pass my trial.

Fifty thousand years ago, I had an inauspicious year

and got killed by an evil man.

You can say that it delayed me for tens of thousands of years.

But finally misfortunes were turned into good fortune, and I was able to become a high god.

No matter what, I must thank you.

I dare not accept it, I dare not.

"Had an inauspicious year and got killed by an evil man"?

What does that mean, huh? What does that mean?

Right. What does that mean?

What are you laughing about?

Did you not have an important matter to seek Lord of Heavenly Medicine about?

Are you waiting for him to come back to chat with you?

It is really the little ghosts who suffer when gods fight.

An inauspicious year...what an inauspicious year..!

Upon entering, you just have to frown.

Earlier, you were even happily chatting with others, walking him out up your door?

After coming here many times, you have never walked me out.

Even calling you "Yao'er"? Saying it so sweetly.

He looks like a good man,

but in reality, a two-faced man.

Doesn't he think I don't know what he's thinking?

Talking about it, in a past Peach Meeting,

I have seen him from afar.

Even with my intelligence, I actually did not recognize him when we met again.

It is enough to prove that his appearance

is very ordinary and common!

Do you know that the Eighth Princess of the Eternal Emperor was once engaged with him?

When the marriage date was looming, he openly canceled the wedding!

Eternal Emperor was so mad that he sought him out. If not because his mother,

Madam Yaoji, was a more senior immortal,

he would have been killed by the Eternal Emperor!

Although the Eighth Princess is not as pretty as you,

she still can be said to be beautiful, gentle, and virtuous.

Yet he just openly refused the marriage like that.

So illogical! Could he have some hidden illness?

He's a tree that turned into a sprite!

Although he's a magical mulberry and elm tree, his brain is surely just full of wood.

After interacting with him in the mortal world for so long, you did not die of boredom?

Give the book back to me.

I won't. Other people were able to stay here for half a day.

I just arrived a few minutes ago.

Can't I read a book here?

Fine. You stay here. I will leave.

Where are you going?

I did not mean to.

I really did not mean to do it!

I am going back to Peach Forest. Are you coming?

I am! I am!

Doctor, what illness does my grandmother have?

Not that serious. I will prescribe her some medicines.

Just take it, and you will be fine.

You disregarded the fact that you were engaged to be married and still ran away from home,

causing your grandmother to be gravely ill.

Then you hid here and mingled with a stranger!

Until now, you still do not know what you've done wrong?

Remember to make your grandmother take the medicine on time.

- Thank you, Sister. - Thank you. - Take care.

Thank you.

A'Mo, do you not feel well?

A'Mo, you miss home?

My grandmother is severely ill.

I want to go back and visit her.

- If your grandmother is severely ill, you should rush home to see her. - Right.

Quickly set out.

It will be a long trip. Be careful.

No worries. With Lord Song accompanying her all the way, she will be fine.

Right.

Will he be willing to go back with me?

Sorry. I...

- You need anything from me? - Nothing.

There is. I want to tell you

that I plan to go home for a while.

Are you willing to come with me?

I am willing.

[ Only Good Morals are Fragrant ]

Coming!

First Miss? First Miss is back!

Old Master, First Miss is back!

First Miss, quickly come in!

First Miss, how did you grow so thin?

Madam!

Madam! First Miss is home!

First Miss, please wait for a moment. I will inform Madam.

A'Mo.

You're back.

Mother! I am home.

Get up. Quickly get up.

Good child.

You can talk now?

The housekeeper of the Song Family wrote us a letter

saying that your hearing disorder has been cured,

that you can talk now.

Initially, I didn't believe it.

Never thought... it was all true.

It's good that you are home.

Mother, I heard that Grandmother is severely ill.

I especially rushed back to visit her.

Is she better?

A few days after you left, she fell ill.

These past days,

she has gotten better.

This one is...

- He is⁠— - You still know to return?

Did you find your days outside unbearable already?

Grandmother is severely ill, so I came back to visit her.

A'Mo, go.

Go see your grandmother.

Once she sees you, she surely will be very happy.

Young Lord, please wait a moment.

Old Master will be here soon.
