[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 54 ]

Princess. I have prepared your bed.

Go sleep for a while.

You have been taking care of State Master for several days consecutively and have not slept.

I have already told you to call me "Ling Xi".

I cannot. We must always follow the rules.

You are now a princess.

It is very warm here. I will just sleep here.

When you were in Fuyun Hall, you are already like this.

Not sleeping on your bed, always lying on the table.

Then, Princess, I will take my leave now.

What song was that?

"Thousand Character Classic"?

This song was that one that your father frequently sang for you when you were little.

I remember that you once said that if one day you could hear again,

the song you would want to hear the most was that one.

You met my father?

I went to your house, and fortunately met him once.

Why did you go to my house?

I wanted to know A'Mo's past.

A'Mo.

It is better that you call me "Ling Xi".

I have been back for so long.

A'Mo is already in the past.

Past?

It has just been a month.

To me, even if it was just thirty days,

it is already a world apart, divided by the vast sea and sky.

State Preceptor, no matter if I am Ling Xi or Lin Mo,

I will respect you all the same.

How about it?

Senior Deity's stone heart has returned to function normally.

It is now more intimate in its connection with his vital channels.

Based on my deduction, Senior Deity's magical power must have increased a lot too.

You can say that you have obtained good fortune out of the misfortune.

Really? That is great then.

Hope Senior Deity will take the medicines I prescribed on time.

Although there is nothing to worry about your health anymore, you can take this chance

to completely merge the Nuwa Stone Heart with your flesh and blood.

Make it become a part of your body.

It will also benefit your future cultivation.

I know it now. Thank you for telling me.

This is part of my job.

Senior Deity, why must you thank me?

Senior Deity, if you have no more problems, I will take my leave now.

I will walk you out, Fairy.

Shisan.

Shisan!

Serve me some tea.

Shisan!

I heard that Lord of Heavenly Medicine has gone out to travel again.

Flooding happened due to the great lake in Western Wilderness.

After the flood, plague was rampant.

Daddy took my senor brothers and sisters

to go down the lower realm and provide treatment.

The manor of the Lord of Heavenly Medicine is now understaffed. You are all alone in handling matters there.

You have worked hard.

Nothing is hard. Just doing my job, since I was given the duty.

Fairy, you are very kind.

But do you know that letting go and giving your blessing is also a kind of charity?

What I am saying is why must you continue to be this persistent?

Take one step, and you will feel more carefree.

Do you know when I met the God of War?

I liked him since fifty thousand years ago.

It was much earlier than Ling Xi.

Senior Deity has a bad eyesight. He likes her instead of me.

I cannot force this.

But my liking him is not bothering anyone.

Why must I put it down just because they are now together?

Where did you get such reasoning?

Moreover, I like Senior Deity now.

Maybe I will not tomorrow.

If I still like him tomorrow,

maybe I will not anymore on the day after tomorrow.

Whether I like him or not, whether I let it go or not,

are all my own business.

It has nothing to do with you.

I will take my leave.

A dog who catches mice. Being meddlesome!

Senior Deity, Yuan Yi, the current matriarch of the Yuan Clan, the aunt of Yuanzheng, is here to pay her respects.

She earnestly asks Senior Deity to consider the past war merits of the Yuan Clan

and let Yuantong off.

Her immortal bones have already been removed, and she was banished to an impoverished remote place as a mortal.

I fear that she will not be able to escape death.

Yuantong killed her comrades. She has committed the most heinous crime.

Heavenly Emperor did not execute her, and just removing her immortal skeleton

then exiling her to the impoverished wilderness is already being benevolent.

The Yuan Clan still dared to use their ancestors' war merits

to plead with me?

Looks like the fall of the Yuan Clan did not happen by chance.

When the Heavenly Palace punishes and admonishes, punishing is just an adjunct and it is admonishing that is most important.

What is admonishing? The person being admonished is given warnings.

Yuantong has repeatedly committed grave mistakes.

She was pardoned but did not reflect on her mistakes, and instead wanted one chi when given a cun. (T/N idiom: win a small amount, try to take it all. chi = US foot/.3 m, cun = US inch, 2.5 cm)

She really is not worthy of being a god.

Right or wrong, good or evil, all must be decided by oneself.

That is how life is. Since she made those kinds of decisions,

she then must bear the consequences.

What Senior Deity said is right.

When people of the Yuan Clan come again, no need to see them.

Yes.

I am going to the Polar Abyss to cultivate in seclusion for some period of time.

If anything happens in the Heavenly Palace, just come to Polar Abyss to find me.

Yes.

Senior Deity, are you going to Polar Abyss or to Shanling Tribe?

Speak! Who is the princess of the Shanling Tribe?

Princess, please appease your anger!

- Princess. - Where is Brother Jingxiu?

State Preceptor said that he is currently busy, and will not come here anymore.

Princess, do not be mad.

State Master's complexion has improved a lot lately.

Once she wakes up, she will give you justice.

Wait for her to give me justice?

With that biological daughter of hers,

will she still remember that I exist?

Princess, it is enough for me to be here.

You had better go back and rest.

I just took a nap earlier. I am now not sleepy.

Even if you are not sleepy, you should go back and wash up first.

You are, after all, the Princess. If you are like this all day,

won't you lose dignity if you go out?

Grandma, are you worried that I will collapse from exhaustion?

I am not worried.

You are a high god. Would you get sick after staying up all night for a few days?

Why then do you keep driving me away to rest?

I know. You are worried about me.

Since I discovered that there was something wrong with the witch doctor,

you already have treated me as family.

Thank you, Grandmother.

- Look. Wuwan is here. - Indeed.

- It is so big now. - It is here for the Princess again.

Wuwan?

Sisters, have you heard?

Princess Baoqing is in a bad mood lately.

Those people serving the Moon Treasure Building have all been punished.

Even A'Yu got flogged!

When was Princess Baoqing in a good mood?

It is not strange for her to hit people. If one day she stops hitting people,

that is what you call strange!

I heard that Princess Baoqing is this mad because State Preceptor is ignoring her.

Sister Xiao Fu, say, why do you think State Preceptor does not like Princess Baoqing?

How would I know?

I know. State Preceptor likes Princess Ling Xi.

Princess Ling Xi is gentle and kind. Who does not like her?

Even the God of War of the Heavenly Palace likes her!

God of War? God of War is too old!

God of War is old? Why did you say so?

God of War is already several hundreds of thousands of years old!He is older than State Master.

Everyone is immortal. Just randomly call someone and he might be tens of thousands of years old!

We do not care about that. Moreover, I have seen God of War.

God of War knows how to preserve his youth. He looks very young.

Is he not, Huayan?

I am asking you if God of War is old or not. You are always absent-minded.

Do not know—

You people are so bold.

In broad daylight, you dare to gossip about God of War here?

Princess.

Fine. Go now.

Yes.

Why are you here?

You are the distinguished God of War, yet you hide here

to eavesdrop on the gossips of immortal maids.

Are you not afraid of being laughed at?

The Shanling Tribe is indeed a tribe of birds.

Each one having a long tongue to talk about other people's affairs.

Not really. In terms of gossiping,

if the Heavenly Palace is second, no one would dare to be first.

Let's take for example your subordinates. You have High God Yunfeng above, Kaiyang below.

Which one is not good at gossiping?

Senior Deity secretly came here without waiting for us to allow you in,

are you not afraid of others seeing you and inducing trouble?

I want to stealthily come here. Who can discover me?

Do not say things so full of confidence. Did you not get found out now?

If not because of Bai Ze, with just you, you think you can discover me?

Yes. God of War is immensely powerful, number one within the Six Realms.

Then what is the purpose of a distinguished God of War like you

in coming to my little Shanling Realm?

I am going to Polar Abyss to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time.

I fear that you might not be able to find me if you need me, so I came to inform you.

Who is going to look for you?

Fine, I know now. Go cultivate in peace then.

I am taking my leave now.

Conscienceless little brat!

Who is?

Exactly you. So many days have passed,

yet you still have not figured it out.

Up until when are you going to throw this tantrum of yours?

I... How am I throwing tantrums?

You consecutively killed me twice. Am I not allowed to be angry?

I was saving you!

You still really killed me, the pain is real, and the heartbreak is real.

You are just using your higher seniority, stronger power, and experienced background

to bully the weak, trample on other people's sincerity,

and disappoint their trust.

What? Did I say it wrong?

- You are unreasonable. - How am I unreasonable?

Princess!

Princess!

Wuwan, where did Princess go?

Princess! Princess!

What are you afraid of?

Who is afraid?

Why are you hiding then?

Am I not thinking for your sake?

You secretly entered my tribe. What if others discover you?

They will surely think that you are harboring improper intentions.

I indeed have improper intentions.

- Let go. - Not letting go.

This is my home.

So what?

Did you not pursue me throughout my Fuyun Hall and move your hands up and down on me?

Who did that?

You are an old deity who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Be reasonable.

I am the God of War and not some scholarly official who pursue his studies and preaches.

I have always spoken forcefully, not by reason.

Enough. Stop being mad.

I did some inappropriate things in the past.

But we have gone through so much together.

You surely can see clearly how my heart is.

If your heart still has grudges, then say them.

Stop ignoring me, and stop pushing me away.

I have already lived for hundreds of thousands of years as a single man.

Staying for fifty thousand years in the Immortal Sea,

I never felt alone.

But, you found me.

Ling Xi, you were the one who took the initiative.

You must take responsibility.

What responsibility?

The responsibility to accompany me.

Because after meeting you,

I am unable to live alone again.

Do not think that just because you kissed me,

I am already not mad.

I will kiss you one more time then.

Say you... hundred-thousand-year-old man, you...

what medicine did you take?

Where did you learn these evil tricks?

Old man? Am I that old?

Go back.

My senior sister went back to Peach Forest to concoct medicines.

I am going to stay here and guard my mother until she wakes up.

If I get some free time, I will...

What will you do?

I will go to your place to walk around.

♫ 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! ♫

Am I very old?

Old? Who said that you are old?

To say that you are old or young, it depends on who you are being compared with.

Compared to Heavenly Supreme Lord, Senior Deity, you are very young.

Compared to me,

Senior Deity, your age

is indeed a bit higher.

But you have strong power and that is beneficial in preserving your youth.

You look younger than I do.

♫ 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 ♫

♫ Forming our bond while among the common folk, while next to the mouth of a spring ♫

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

Mother, Senior Deity came today.

Do you know him?

The God of War. I came with him to Tianxi Palace last time.

Do you still remember?

He told me today...

He said that in the coming days,

if I am not around,

he will not live by himself.

It was his first time telling me words like that.

Before, even if he was good to me,

he would just keep it in his heart.

He would never say it like he did today.

Mother,

I feel that my recent luck

has become better.

I washed away the demonic aura within me and I found you.

Even he...

Mother,

quickly wake up.

I have so many words I want to tell you.

Yuantong!

- Who are you? - Yuantong!

Who is calling me?

Yuantong!

Yuantong!

Tong'er.

Eldest Brother.

You can call me that.

You are not my older brother.

Who really are you?

Wuzhiqi?

Aren't you dead?

The Demon Lord of my generation is indeed dead.

But demons never disappear.

In all living things, if there is good then, there also is evil.

If there is right, then there is wrong.

If there is life, then there is death. If there is something visible, then there is something hidden.

The evil thoughts: being greedy, detesting, malicious, hating, and killing.

They hinder your cultivation and let you get entangled with bad karma.

You then become a demon.

Impossible. Wuzhiqi is dead!

I saw it myself!

Ling Xi went through three trials and the demonic aura in her disappeared!

You were burned by karmic fire and disappeared from the Six Realms!

How could you still appear here?

You still do not understand.

Wuzhiqi was just a Demon Lord I chose.

I am the demon. I originate from the heart.

I am able to change my form in innumerable ways. I can float or sink,

be seen or die, gather or disperse.

How can I disappear?

So you came to find me...

to lure me into becoming a demon?

You want me to become the new Demon Lord?

You have lost your immortal skeleton.

How could you become the Demon Lord?

The power of a demon is boundless and vast.

Not only must one cut off the seven affections, six desires, a forgiving heart, and hundreds of charms....

You also must have a very strong spirit and top-quality skeleton as foundation.

You?

Since that is the case,

why then did you enter my dream?

- I am giving you a chance. - A chance?

A chance to seek vengeance for our mother.

A chance to vent your hatred.

Help you win all of it,

to wash away the past humiliation.

A chance...

to let me be in peace in the netherworld.

What should I do?

Help me find a person. Okay, Tong'er?

Who?

The new Demon Lord.

Sister! Did you successfully refine the medicine?

Are you alright?

Senior Sister, how is she?

Do not worry. If there is no mishaps, State Master Lingyue

should slowly wake up in the next few days.

Really?

Doctor Qingyao indeed has brilliant medical skills.

I dare not take credit. State Master has profound cultivation. Even without me,

she will slowly recover.

- Respectfully sending off State Preceptor. - State Preceptor.

Huayan! Huayan!

Your eyeballs are about to stick to him!

What nonsense are you saying?

State Preceptor has strong power and is very handsome.

Although he is not yet married, he is not someone that you can like.

If Princess Baoqing learns of this, be careful of losing your life!

Let us go.

Princess. That doctor from Peach Forest came to treat State Master today.

Are we not going there to check things out?

Check what? Watch as others are in the center of things?

What I mean is if State Master wakes up

and you are not around,

if only that Ling Xi is by her side, isn't that inappropriate?

So what if I am there?

Mother raised me before

because I rid her of loneliness

and became the substitute for others.

Now that the biological daughter is back,

will I still have a place?

If you ask me, it is for the best if she continues to sleep like that!

If she wakes up, would I still have a place to stand here in Tianxi Palace?

My Princess, you must not casually say such things.

What? What is wrong for me to say in my own chamber?

Not only Mother,

even Brother Jingxiu has been bewitched by that vixen to fall madly in love with her!

She is indeed from Peach Forest, a natural-born seductress!

State Preceptor did not see her that often lately.

Really?

Let's go! Let's look for Brother Jingxiu!

State Preceptor.

If the medicine from Peach Forest really works,

then State Master will be waking up in a few days?

State Preceptor, we killed Yuandu right in front of State Master.

We then attempted to kill her.

If she wakes up, recovers her magical power

and takes again the power to govern, she surely will not let you off that easily!

Princess Ling Xi is her daughter.

State Preceptor, you think she will believe you

or her own mother?

- State Preceptor, it is time to make a move. - Enough!

State Preceptor, when State Master wakes up,

sooner or later, Princess Ling Xi will...

State Preceptor, if we do not act now,

it will really be too late!

- State Preceptor! - State Preceptor!

It is time to make a move.

State Preceptor, it was Princess Baoqing.

State Preceptor, do you need me to...

Princess, what should we do? State Preceptor is planning to kill State Master, isn't he?

I did not hear it wrong, right? What should we do?

We must immediately tell Grandma Shi this matter.

I will go now. I will go seek Grandma Shi now!

You cannot go!

You cannot go. You hear me? You cannot go!

Princess.

Let me think about this first. Let me think first!

Go out and wait for me!

Yes.

Princess.

How is Mother? Has she woken up?

Where is Princess Ling Xi?

Princess went to cook the medicine. She will be back once it is done.

You should be the ones doing the cooking of the medicine. How could you let her personally do it?

Princess refused to let others do it. We also cannot do anything.

Go tell Princess

that it is time for State Master to have her medicine.

Yes. I will go there now.

Mother, you have not slept?

It's already very late, but I saw your room still had its light on, so I came in to check.

Look at you. You fell asleep while wearing such a small amount of clothing.

What if you catch a cold?

How can it be so easy for me to catch a cold?

My magical skills improved. I just got promoted to an Earth Immortal.

Now, I am already an immortal. I am immune to a lot of poisons!

You...

You still have to continue cultivating.

I know.

Princess Baoqing.

Princess Baoqing!

W-What is wrong with you? You look anxious.

N-Nothing.

If you are tired, then go back first and rest, Princess.

But...

State Master has gotten better after taking her medicines.

Once she wakes up, I will inform you.

State Master, you are awake!

State Master! State Master, you are awake!

Grandma Shi.

Great! This is great!

I will call Princess Ling Xi to come over now!

Ling Xi?

Right, your daughter, Princess Ling Xi,

she did not die!

She has returned after going through her trials!

She has returned?

- State Preceptor. - Brother Jingxiu.

You just came from State Master's chamber?

Is she doing well?

Quite well.

I will go visit her.

Brother Jingxiu.

The sun has set.

The wind and rain tonight will be strong.

Go back early to rest.

Do not run around.
