[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 53 ]

So many! What are these?

Shisan.

Senior Deity.

What are you doing?

I am packing some things.

Has not Ling Xi gone to the Shanling Tribe to become their princess?

I want to pack her things and deliver them to her.

Continue with it.

Yes.

So many things...

Women are really troublesome!

I am finally done.

Senior Deity.

So much!

Indeed. Say, she did not really stay here very long.

How come she has so much stuff?

I heard from people that birds love to pad their nests?

That is, they love to store items in their houses?

After seeing it today, it seems to be true.

Can you carry all of these by yourself?

Of course I can! Who am I?

Senior Deity, how heavy is my Clanging Golden Gong? Have you forgotten?

Just these items, I can carry even ten more of them!

After observing you train lately, I find something is off.

What is off?

Your movements are wrong.

Have you overtrained lately and hurt your muscles or bones?

No.

You must have. Why would I say so otherwise?

But I do not feel anything?

When you try to move your energy, do you not feel pain in your zhongji and qugu acupoints? (T/N Conception Vessel meridian, "Central Pole", "Curved Bone", both on pubic synthesis/affect genitals)

No pain!

Try it.

I am fine.

No! No! I cannot!

Does it hurt?

It hurts.

Senior Deity, am I dying?

You will not die. You just need more rest, and you will be fine.

But there is one thing you should remember.

What?

You must not carry heavy objects, and you will recover faster.

Okay now. You can deliver these items to Ling Xi.

I will just go another day.

Why?

I am hurt. I must rest!

Going out to roam around can make your mood better and your body healthy.

Really?

This...

I understand!

Senior Deity, look.

This is the cosmic ring. I got this from Siming!

This is way more useful than a cosmic bag.

Just like that, I can directly go see Ling Xi!

Using such an important immortal treasure to store miscellaneous items is being very wasteful!

Why not find someone to go with you?

No need, Senior Deity. Huayan must stay to accompany you.

Being alone in Fuyun Hall is so lonely!

Huayan must take care of you! I will be back right away.

Senior Deity!

Senior Deity, after so many days, the people from God of Heavenly Thunder's palace

were still unable to find that person who stole the Heart-Assembling Nail.

God of Heavenly Thunder just gave an order that all immortal maids from the different palaces

must go to the manor of Lord of Innumerable Treasures

and undergo a secret technique to test if her hands have been tainted with the Thousand Li Motherly Incense.

They also want each palace...

Senior Deity, with you staring at me like that,

do you have any instructions for me?

Siming. You have quite a lot of magical items in your palace.

Siming! You're here.

Just go.

I have already clearly explained things to God of Heavenly Thunder.

You were in my Siming Hall all day that day and you never left.

Senior Deity seems to be in a bad mood.

Really? I did not notice.

You did not notice?

Ling Xi just returned,

yet she stayed here for just a day and then went to the Shanling Tribe.

She clearly still feels she was wronged.

With Senior Deity's status, without an acceptable reason, how could he go there to pursue her?

Now that the rain is gone and the sky is clear, all problems have been resolved,

yet the two of them have to live in separate places. How can he be in a good mood?

Ling Xi has a stubborn personality,

while Senior Deity is a chunk of ice.

It would be great if High God Yunfeng were here now.

Wrong.

What is it?

Oh no!

You are not going to the Shanling Tribe anymore?

Senior Deity. I am leaving for the Shanling Tribe now.

I am going to look for Ling Xi.

Siming took the cosmic ring back.

Right now, I...

I...!

I... Am I not injured?

I cannot carry these!

Senior Deity, how about you go with me?

Senior Deity.

Senior Deity!

Shisan. What is wrong? Why are you in a depressed mood?

Huayan, I might have to go back to the Eastern Sea.

Why?

I offended Senior Deity.

He might drive me back to Eastern Sea.

What do I do? Siming and I would be separated from then on.

He is usually very busy, so he will not have time to visit me.

What should he do if he misses me?

This...He...

It might not be that serious.

You would not understand.

Shisan!

What took you so long?

Senior Deity?

Let us go.

Go where?

Did you not want me to accompany you to Shanling Tribe?

You are really going?

- Are we going or not? - Go. Go.

I am hurting. You said it yourself!

This one.

Thank you, Senior Deity.

Princess. Go back and rest.

I am fine. My Senior Sister went back to check her medical books

to look for a good prescription to cure my mother.

I will not go anywhere until my mother wakes up.

Fine then. I will instruct the servants to cook you some food.

Thank you, Grandma.

Princess, Fairy Shisan from the Heavenly Palace is here to see you.

Shisan is here?

And God of War is here too.

Greetings, God of War.

Where is Ling Xi?

God of War, the Princess wants me to relay a message to you.

She still has to take care of the State Master, so it is inconvenient

for her to personally welcome you.

And she also said...

Also said what?

The Princess also said that Tianxi Palace is too shabby, and the State Master is still sick.

She will not ask you to stay for dinner, God of War.

If there is a chance, she will personally visit you to thank you.

I will respectfully send you two off.

Can you still ride the wind back to the Heavenly Palace?

You are injured. By journeying up here,

you have wasted a lot of energy. Can you still use your magic?

Okay. Okay. Right. Right.

I-I made a mistake while training.

I...cannot use magic and go back.

I cannot leave today.

Not only today, even after three to five days...

six-seven-eight-nine-ten days!

Is that enough?

That is indeed the case. Have to trouble you to prepare two guest rooms for us to stay.

She is injured. She cannot force herself to ride the wind to return to our palace.

She needs rest.

What? Does Tianxi Palace not have even two guestrooms?

You must know that your State Master was rescued by me from Spirit-Binding Abyss.

Is this how Tianxi Palace treats its guests?

Yes. God of War, please wait a while. I will order people to prepare it.

Sister Qingyao, eat something, okay?

I am not hungry. You go eat first.

I cooked this mushroom soup for a long time.

I personally picked all these mushrooms.

I even slipped while picking them, and nearly cracked my head.

With such a huge pot of soup,

you refuse to drink it, so does Chengyan.

I can only throw away the leftovers.

Fine. Just leave it there. I will drink it later.

Really?

You go play first.

Okay. Sister Qingyao, remember to drink it.

Sister drank it?

She did.

You saw her drink it?

She said that she will drink it later.

I think you are stupid!

Is your hair so long that it took all the nutrients for your brain?

- Do not run! - Bad fox!

- Come here! - Do not pull my hair!

- Do not run! - Bad fox!

I am telling you, your hair will be all gone!

- Princess. - They have left?

- No. - No?

Not only did they not leave, they are staying here.

They said that they will stay here for eight to ten days.

Princess, did you offend God of War?

Did he come here to cause you trouble?

He looks so scary!

He will not leave until he sees you.

Princess, where are you going?

Peach Forest.

Looks like the Princess has really offended the God of War badly this time?

State Preceptor, someone from Heavenly Palace has come to see Princess Ling Xi.

Jiuchen?

Yes.

Where is Ling Xi?

They did not meet. And the Princess left Tianxi Palace.

Dismissed.

Yes.

Senior Deity.

Where is she?

This...

Say it.

I heard from the palace maid that Ling Xi had some urgent matters

and had to return to Peach Forest.

If she is that capable, she'd better not return.

What? You are now here, yet you are worried about him?

I am not.

But, you are really bold.

For tens of thousands of years, I fear that only you

dared to make him wait for nothing?

Actually, I am not that bold.

I am also a bit afraid.

You are indeed this cowardly.

Oh right, I flipped through the medical books in the manor of Lord of Heavenly Medicine yesterday and heard of a strange thing.

What strange thing?

The Heavenly Palace is currently seeking a spy who was said to be from the Demon Tribe,

and had stolen the Heart-Assembling Nail of the Yuan Clan.

She then disappeared afterwards.

God of Heavenly Thunder is very angry. He is currently checking every palace.

A person from the Demon Tribe could actually sneak into the Heavenly Palace?

That is what they're saying.

But is it not the Demon Lord already dead?

The Demon Lord's death does not mean that all the members of the Demon Tribe are dead.

Also for tens of thousands of years, there have been several Demon Lords.

Jiuchen is the Fourth God of War. Wuzhiqi is also the Fourth Demon Lord.

Fourth?

Majority of the members of the Demon Tribe live in the Demon Realm beyond the gates of the netherworld located under the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

But the Demon Lord need not come from the Demon Realm.

Cultivating is training one's heart. As long as you choose to do good,

you will become an immortal in the end.

If you get affected by evil desires and fall into the demon path,

it is possible that you will become a demon.

Human hearts are very complicated. Good and evil are usually just a difference of thought.

The thought to become an immortal or a demon, it all depends on yourself.

Then it means that after Wuzhiqi died, a new Demon Lord will rise?

Logically speaking, yes, but it may not be that easy.

Or else there would not have been just four Demon Lords after the world was created.

That is good then.

You seem very worried. Who are you worried about?

Do you need to ask? Of course it's that Jiuchen!

Say silly bird, if you are worried, then return to your Tianxi Palace. Why are you here?

So unreasonable!

You are annoying.

He is the distinguished God of War. Would he need you to worry for him?

Not just a spy, even if it is the whole family of the Demon Lord living in the Heavenly Palace, he will not die!

Senior Sister, you see?

Enough. How old are you two? Still arguing!

Why did you follow us here?

What is that thing?

I am a knotweed sprite.

Knotweeds can also become a sprite?

With you being this big, you did not get harvested away?

Didn't someone already do that?

Why did you come here? Go. Go.

- Go! - Do not touch my hair!

Do not pull my hair! You are not allowed to pull my hair!

- Huayan? - Yes.

She is an immortal maid from Fuyun Hall.

She was once a mortal.

She encountered good luck, and entered the mountain to cultivate.

After successfully cultivating, she flew up here to become an immortal.

Afterward, she served in the palace of the Heavenly Empress and Wanling Park

as an immortal maid who swept the floor.

When God of War returned from the Immortal Sea,

she was transferred to Fuyun Hall.

The person Lord of Innumerable Treasures identified is she?

I have checked the thirty-six palaces and seventy-two halls.

She is indeed the only one who was not in Heavenly Palace the night that the Heart-Assembling Nail was stolen.

Whether it was really her,

God of Heavenly Thunder, we will know once we capture and interrogate her.

Tianlei Zhenjun, if we arrest her

and she denies it,

then would we not need to use the Frisking Immortal Technique?

This technique causes great damage to an immortal's soul.

Won't God of War—

I am just doing my job!

I do not have any selfish reasons!

That Jiuchen is also not a narrow-minded person.

If she insists on denying it, I have to investigate further.

God of Heavenly Thunder, you said it right.

Tomorrow morning, call that immortal Huayan over.

Before this matter is fully investigated,

you two still have to be courteous to her.

Yes.

Fairy Huayan.

God of Heavenly Thunder is asking you to go to his hall.

He has something to ask you.

Greetings to the God of Heavenly Thunder.

Get up and speak.

Yes.

You are Huayan?

Yes.

Let me ask you one thing and you must answer honestly.

Yes.

You must not fool me with clever talk, otherwise, I have a lot of ways

to make you tell the truth.

I was the one who stole the Heart-Assembling Nail.

What did you say?

Replying to Tianlei Zhenjun, that Heart-Assembling Nail,

I did indeed steal it!

- Awake now? - Good morning, Senior Sister.

Did you sleep well last night?

Well. I have not slept that well for a long time.

You are really so at ease. I fear that Senior Deity may not have slept all night.

I think you already have had enough time to vent.

Your thoughts are not bad. You just want more time.

Whether it is to cultivate your immortal magic

or to go to the mortal world to practice kindness,

all are righteous paths.

Just directly tell him what you think.

Moreover, State Master Lingyue is currently gravely injured and unconscious.

It is just right if you want to stay by her side and practice filial piety.

You are not being rushed to get married now.

Why are you avoiding him?

Ling Xi, you two have gone through so much.

It was not easy for the storm to finally pass.

You should treasure the time of being together.

Must you be like me, and regret things

once you have lost him?

Senior Sister, I know what to do.

If you know, then quickly go back.

I still need time to finish concocting the medicine.

Once I am done, I will deliver it to you.

Thank you, Senior Sister.

Sister, you are up so early.

Where is Ling Xi?

She has left.

No, Sister, she...

Ling Xi has left?

She returned to the Shanling Tribe?

How come she suddenly went back? Isn't she avoiding Jiuchen? She...

She avoids Senior Deity because she likes him.

Now that she figured things out, of course she went back.

But...

A'Yan, I know what you are thinking.

But there are things that cannot be forced.

Why not cherish the ones before you?

- Senior Deity! - Senior Deity!

Senior Deity!

- Sen... - Senior Deity. - What is wrong?

Senior Deity, Huayan is in trouble.

God of War is here!

God of War.

Huayan.

Tianlei Zhenjun.

How are you?

Heavenly Emperor ordered me to investigate the robbery case of the Heart-Assembling Nail.

Do you have anything to say about it?

Huayan is my immortal maid.

The Heart-Assembling Nail is an item of our Heavenly Palace.

I just came to listen.

Tianlei Zhenjun, please do your work.

God of War,

we just used the Frisking Immortal Method on this immortal earlier.

Never thought that her spirit would be too strong, and she was able to resist it.

If we do it again, I fear that her spirit might get totally destroyed!

Do not use it again then!

Why must you use it on her?

Did she refuse to confess even after intensive interrogation?

Not really.

Upon coming here, she immediately admitted her crime.

She said that she was indeed the one who stole the Heart-Assembling Nail.

She said she was bewitched by a demon.

The demon possessed her to steal the Heart-Asssembling Nail

on behalf of that Zhonghao. But when I used the Heart Inquiring Mirror to check her,

I did not find any demonic aura within her!

How is that possible? You all must have gotten it wrong.

Huayan, did they beat you up?

You must not confess due to fear of torture. This is a crime punishable by execution or exile!

Since she has admitted it,

why must you still use the Frisking Immortal Technique?

I insisted that we do that.

This immortal admitted it very clearly and was straightforward.

It shows that she is not a very evil person.

Hence, I think there must be a backstory here?

This young immortal seems to be covering for someone.

Deliberately protecting someone!

God of War.

I am not talking about you.

This immortal came from the mortal world.

What people did she know there, what immortal did she eventually meet,

who among us can know?

Where is God of War?

- He just left. - Left?

Yes. Someone from the Heavenly Palace came and he left.

They left in a hurry. Must be something urgent.

[ Fuyun Hall ]

I dare not hide things from you, Senior Deity.

You still refuse to tell me?

You already confessed that you stole the Heart-Assembling Nail for Zhonghao.

Now, you refuse to talk

and say that you dare not lie to me?

It proves that you do not know Zhonghao.

You are protecting another person.

I cannot sense any demonic aura in you.

This matter has nothing to do with the demons.

Tell me, who instructed you to do such a thing?

Senior Deity, everything was my fault.

I am willing to accept punishment.

You want to bear it all, but I am afraid that you cannot.

No matter who that person you want to protect is,

he helped Zhonghao to open the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

He then harbors evil intentions.

It is very hard to say if this person is good or bad,

yet you persisted in covering for him.

Do you know that you are helping a tyrant with his evil deeds?

Even if you refuse to say it, I will find it out.

You were able to resist the Frisking Immortal Technique of Immortal Lord of Universal Turn.

If I do it, you think you can resist it?

Don't...

Still obstinately persisting with your wrong ways.

I beg Senior Deity not to use the Frisking Immortal Technique anymore!

Huayan, are you crazy?

Who is the other party?

Would you rather die than tell us?

Senior Deity, I know that I have committed a grave mistake.

I have disappointed your teachings.

But I owe this other person a lot.

I would rather die than betray him!

I ask Senior Deity to show mercy.

He is a very good person. He surely is not evil.

Fine.

You have cultivated for more than twenty thousand years.

After going through your trial, you flew up here to become an immortal.

God of Heavenly Thunder now has sentenced you

to be exiled in the remote lands of Shanling Tribe.

That place is very cold and barren, and there are a lot of monsters.

If you refuse to talk,

I will not force you.

Just go there and think about this well.

Yes.

I am willing to accept the punishment.

Thank you, Senior Deity, for allowing me to go.

General.

I will hand over to you the criminal Huayan then.

General, you have worked hard.

State Preceptor, they have delivered the person.

How should we settle her? Should we send her to the mortal world

or hide her somewhere?

Since the Heavenly Race exiled her,

then exile her for the time being.

Yes.

Senior Deity, she has gone to the remote wilderness.

General Chibi personally escorted her there.

Take this to Shanling Tribe, and hand it to Ling Xi.

Yes.

- Do not run! - Do not chase me!

Do not run! Stop right there!

- Do not chase me! - Do not run!

Stop right there!

Do not come here!

Ling Xi.

Say it.

The Heavenly Palace said that you colluded with the Demon Tribe. What is going on?

I...

I...

We can be said to be acquaintances.

You have a naive temperament. You are not a person that would collude with the demons.

What really happened?

Who is instructing you?

I have nothing to say.

It was like that in the Heavenly Palace, it is the same here.

Ling Xi, I am a criminal.

Just exile me.

Forget it. Just stay by my side from now on.

Ling Xi.

We were together in Fuyun Hall day and night.

I will never forget that affection.

I do not care what you did in the past.

As long as you live your days from now on in an appropriate manner, I will not let anyone give you trouble.

Ling Xi took her away?

Yes. Ling Xi personally went to the barren lands.

She brought her back to Tianxi Palace.

Senior Deity, Ling Xi told me to ask you this question.

Who do you suspect? Why did you put Huayan in Tianxi Palace?

Let us just slowly watch.

I also am not sure.

Yunfeng?

Star Lord Sangnan, why did you come here?

Nothing. I just want to come over and take a look.

You seemed to have grown thinner.

You must take care of your health.

Thank you.

I know that you have been worrying for Yunfeng's matter.

I will also care for you more.

I have already filed for leave on your behalf from the manor of the Lord of Heavenly Medicine.

There will be a doctor taking up your duties.

You need not rush back.

Thank you, Star Lord Sangnan,

but this is entirely my personal problem.

I will handle it well. No need for you to worry about it.

I know, but I just want to care about you.

I want to do something for you.

Star Lord, I already said it very clearly last time.

Your concern will make things difficult for me.

Okay. I get it.

Take good care of yourself.

Why so heartless?

If you cannot be lovers, can you not be friends?

He is a very petty person.

He surely will not want to see me become friends with Star Lord Sangnan.

Huayan, look, this is the main hall of Tianxi Palace.

It is the place where state affairs are discussed.

This is the garden. Is it not very pretty?

From now on, just follow Princess Ling Xi. You two are old friends

and the Princess has a kind personality. She surely will treat you well!

If you have anything you do not understand, just ask me.

Thanks.

From now on, we must get along very well.

Huayan, look over there.

That flower is the most favorite flower of

the Princess here in Tianxi Palace.

Huayan?

Huayan.

State Preceptor.

Huayan. Huayan!

Huayan!

That was State Preceptor. Why did you not kneel?

State Preceptor?

The Zhuri Bird kept chasing the sun

from birth to death.

Do not know if it will ever grow tired.

Will it think things through one day

and want to stop?
