[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 58 ]

God of War, that Ling Xi is drunk! I'll take her back to Peach Forest.

It is okay. I will take her home.

But...

Jiuchen, hold me. Hold me.

Go where? Back to Tianxi Palace?

Let us go to Polar Abyss, okay?

Sure.

Where are they going?

How would I know?

Chengyan, wait for me!

No!

Why did you drink so much?

- Cover up or else you'll get cold. Behave. - No.

Be good.

I will go get you a sober-up pill.

No.

Be good. I will just get the sober-up pill.

No.

I do not want to take some sober-up pill!

Hualiao painstakingly grew her hair,

Chengyan painstaking made the wine,

I painstakingly drank that much.

I do not want to take some sober-up pill.

Polar Abyss is still better.

There's no Shisan, no Yuli.

There's just the two of us.

You like it here?

I like it very, very much.

In the future, once we're married,

let's live here, okay?

Does this mean you're agreeing?

But you took the initiative.

You have to be responsible, and you can't take it back.

Why is it that when I look at you today...

you're even more good-looking?

♫ Falling down as two flowers into a pool, both anxious when together and when separated ♫

♫ You see me off in the moonlight and retreat, and it's beyond me to account for this ♫

Lingxi, don't fool around.

♫ Deep as the down-pouring rain, yet prudently becoming a flick of ocean spray ♫

Don't fool around.

It'll be dangerous. ♫ Unwilling to remain silent, because a critical event may part the bond ♫

♫ Pouring my heart's intention like surging water over a blazing fire ♫

♫ Acting as clear water to wash your whole life's agony away. ♫

Jiuchen, let's get married.

♫ I float adrift on the current in the midst of where the water and sky merge in one color in the Milky Way, ♫

♫ Depending on the moonlight to sweep away rising layers upon layers of cause and effect ♫

♫ In the midst of my dream, you quietly raise me up through the seams ♫

♫ Pulling me, pulling me ♫

♫ The skies themselves brought me to you to fill this void with happiness ♫

♫ To hold you up in your dream, as well as controlling the river of stars ♫

♫ You retreat afterward, finally banishing me with growing waves of tears ♫

♫ How cheerful... ♫

♫ Following you makes exhaustion disappear, following as you float like ashes in a song ♫

♫ Not regretting this romance, flying to the utmost limit, why resent it? ♫

♫ You view my sentimental foolishness with the moon's quiet tranquility ♫

♫ still dazzling ♫

♫ A dreamlike couple from the start, you're beside me ever since then ♫

♫ Like moonlight sprinkled over the endless ocean ♫

♫ Your honesty entered my heart, and relieved my mind of the crashing waves ♫

You're awake.

You drank so much wine, does your head hurt?

Last night...

Don't say it.

I initially planned to give you this after you hand over your State Master position.

Seeing you are this impatient, I'll give it to you right now.

[ Marriage Contract ]

Marriage contract?

Who's impatient?

I'm impatient.

I'm very, very impatient.

I can't wait even a day longer!

[ Marriage Contract ]

State Master!

State Master, it's time to eat.

So soon? I was reading and forgot the time.

Tell them to put the things down, and they can go back.

No need to attend to me anymore.

Yes.

[ "Double Happiness" (T/N red Shuangxi lamp for good luck, red for marriage ]

[ The "Six Proofs" - abacus, measuring vessel, ruler, scissors, scale and mirror ]

[ Gifts and Favors ]

Senior Deity, Ling Xi has not stepped down from the State Master position yet.

She still cannot go through the ceremony yet, but we have everything prepared for now.

There are thirty-six minor gifts,

sixty-four medium gifts, one hundred twenty major gifts.

Two hundred gold items, six hundred jade items,

eighty magical items, forty of mystical equipment.

What are these?

These are the "Six Proofs", items used in weddings.

As they say, "three matchmakers and six proofs". These are those "proofs".

A saddle?

It sounds like the word "an", signifying "eternal peace".

On the day of the wedding, put it on the doorstep.

When the bride steps over it, that will signify peace and harmony

for a lifetime.

I saw mortals using the same wedding traditions.

Yes, the wedding traditions of mortals came from our race.

Talking about that, it has been so long since there was a wedding here in Heavenly Palace.

For your marriage, the whole Six Realms will surely be celebrating with us.

At that time, even the mortals who have been enlightened with the right path

will also come here to congratulate you.

Senior Deity, on the day of the wedding, Ling Xi will have stepped down as State Master.

Thus, our wedding entourage will be going to Peach Forest to welcome the bride.

I just want to ask if they are supposed to come here to Fuyun Hall or to Polar Abyss?

Polar Abyss is better. There is no Shisan,

no Yuli, just the two of us.

Senior Deity?

Polar Abyss.

Yes.

♫ Whether half-resting on clouds of smoke from kitchen chimneys asleep, 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) ♫

♫ 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 ♫

♫ 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 ♫

Senior Deity.

I can see there are a lot of wedding items inside the hall now.

Is your joyous event happening soon?

Yes.

Senior Deity, what joyous news!

I congratulate you, Senior Deity!

Senior Deity, I obtained two good wines recently.

Do you want to have a taste?

Sure.

Senior Deity.

Getting married is good.

In the future, once you have a child,

our Polar Abyss then will become more lively!

Yes. Yes. When your days get lively,

that will be for eternity, very full and satisfying,

so lively!

Heavenly Supreme Lord, this is not an easy matter.

We must first discuss it before deciding.

I fear that the Demon Tribe will not give us time to discuss this.

I am the one who sealed the gates of the netherworld.

God of War is here!

Heavenly Supreme Lord.

I, Jiuchen, pay respects to the Heavenly Emperor.

Greetings, Respected Teacher.

Jiuchen, you are here.

This is a memorial from the State Master of Shanling Tribe.

Ling Xi is recommending Immortal Lord Changting to be the successor to the State Master position.

Soon, she will officially submit to you her decree.

Hope Heavenly Emperor can read it now.

I have already heard this from your Respected Teacher.

Ling Xi plans to resign from her State Master position.

And after that, you two will be getting married.

Yes.

Rise.

Jiuchen, just for you,

she is even giving up the position as head of state.

You must treat her well.

I understand.

Also, I am here to ask for a leave.

I recommend the God of Heavenly Thunder to replace me in handling the matters in the War Division.

Hope Heavenly Emperor can allow it.

This is for your wedding. I will allow it.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

Jiuchen. Have you prepared everything needed for your wedding?

Still preparing.

You are the God of War, in a prominent position.

Your wedding must not be done haphazardly.

I surely will give you a huge gift.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

Jiuchen, leave now.

Heavenly Emperor and I have things to discuss.

Yes.

Senior Deity, please.

Lord Baishan.

Is Heavenly Supreme Lord here often lately to discuss things with Heavenly Emperor?

Yes. It has been like this for several days.

I also do not know what they are discussing.

Every time Heavenly Supreme Lord comes, Heavenly Emperor will ask everyone to leave.

Why are you here?

Jiuchen. It was I who invited her here.

You have noticed it?

- You did this? - So what if I did?

I am not as lucky as you.

The heavens have never been good to me.

In the end, I don't have anything,

while you will obtain everything you want.

But I want to tell you that you have a choice.

You can opt not to go down into the Spirit-Binding Abyss.

Within the Heavenly Race,

you're not the only one can handle this matter.

That Respected Teacher of yours, that Heavenly Emperor,

both of them have outstanding magical power, are individuals that are beyond the Six Realms, and have innate ability to suppress demons.

Why are they not going?

Why did they choose you? Why are they letting you die

on their behalf?

Do not rush to dismiss me. I am not done speaking.

You are the God of War. No one can defeat you.

But let me tell you that if you go down there,

you will forever be trapped within the Abyss, unable to escape.

You and Ling Xi have gone through three lifetimes of trials.

It was not easy to finally be together.

Can you bear to leave her behind?

God of War Jiuchen, think about it.

Choose well.

Once the gates of the netherworld are opened, the hordes of demons from the Demon Realm will rush out, and the world will be plunged into misery.

The Shanling Tribe would be the first to be affected.

No one can escape.

Think carefully. Do you want to become a filial disciple, a loyal subject, and a good soldier,

sacrifice your life to obtain great justice, or...

be the ideal husband

and take your lover

to become a perfect couple as age flows like water?

So wonderful.

Think it over. Think it over.

Think it over carefully.

How good it is to have a choice.

Are you then willing to be with me forever, not separating from or abandoning me?

Of course.

Then, are you willing to take care of me

and accompany me all your life, never leaving me?

I am willing. What else?

You can only like me.

You cannot have thoughts of infidelity.

You cannot have a change of heart.

And you cannot give others a second glance.

Your disciple, Jiuchen, is respectfully announcing to heaven and earth today

that I was born a deity and have obtained all forms of good luck.

From now on, I surely will strictly obey the instructions given by Respected Teacher.

Diligently practice my magic and martial arts.

Be simple. Have fewer desires.

If you have no desire, your heart is calm. True strength is being able to defeat oneself.

Eliminating demons is my path. I will kill the evil demons!

May Immortal Lord Baishan relay this message on my behalf.

Tell the Heavenly Emperor that I have very urgent matter to report to him.

Oh my, Senior Deity,

it is still very early! Heavenly Emperor has handled a lot of affairs lately.

He frequently has been busy until late at night, not sleeping or resting.

This...what is this matter that cannot wait to be discussed

during the court meeting later?

If it could wait, I would not be here now.

May the Immortal Lord relay my message.

God of War!

From afar I thought it was you, God of War,

and I was right. God of War, you are in a great mood today.

Coming here this early to greet the Heavenly Emperor and wish him good health.

You also have woken up very early.

I have a lot of official work to do and am like this every day.

Tianlei Zhenjun, you can go back to your work then.

God of War, you do not look good.

Did something bad happen?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I heard that when you failed your war god trial on Purple Cloud Platform,

your primordial energy was injured by the energy of the fiery lightning.

You since have been taking the "Nine Might" medicinal pill made by the manor of Lord of Heavenly Medicine.

Who said that?

No such thing.

Your power is of the fire element to begin wtih.

It is of similar element to the lightning punishment being done on the Purple Cloud Platform.

Using medicine to forcefully suppress it is inappropriate.

Tianlei Zhenjun, why not just refine it?

This can instead help your cultivation.

Senior Deity?

Please go inside.

Senior Brother.

Senior Brother! Senior Brother!

Senior Brother, the thousand years have passed.

Where is Qingyao? How come she is not here to welcome me?

Yunfeng, I need you to help me with something.

Senior Brother, stop joking around!

If I am not the one, it will be Respected Teacher.

Respected Teacher has guarded the Six Realms all his life.

We both are his disciples.

How can we let him charge in front of us at a time like this?

Then, I will go.

Let me go. Anyway, my lightning punishment has not yet ended.

It should be me going.

You cannot. You do not have enough magical power, so it will also be pointless for you to go there.

What about you? You will be trapped inside!

I am the God of War. It is my duty to guard the Six Realms,

to eliminate the demons and monsters.

What about Ling Xi? Ling Xi?

You even told me earlier that you two have exchanged your marriage contract!

That she has already recommended a successor to her State Master position to the Heavenly Emperor!

If you leave, with her personality,

you think she would easily let go and just let you eternally guard the bottom of Spirit-Binding Abyss?

That is why I need your help.

I want you to pretend to be me, and stay here in the Heavenly Palace.

Cut off any of her wishful thinking.

Pretend to be decadent and neglectful of your duties. Hand over the God of War position to God of Heavenly Thunder.

You have decided.

And you even convinced Heavenly Emperor, that is why he gave you the pardon decree to free me.

Yunfeng, do you remember what Respected Teacher told us?

Use wisdom to handle affairs. Use bravery to make a foothold. Use benevolence to cultivate one's heart.

We both are Heavenly Supreme Lord's disciples.

During peaceful times, we can live a pleasant and leisurely life.

During dangerous times, we must come forward

to protect all living creatures.

Ling Xi is also one of those living creatures.

If the Demon Tribe come out from their lair, Shanling Tribe will be the first one to suffer.

By protecting all living beings,

I am also protecting her.

If one day she finds out about the truth,

she surely will understand my intentions.

Senior Deity.

This is the Mind-Confusing Pill you needed.

Its effect is stronger than the confusing fog drug I used on the Purple Cloud Platform last time.

It can sedate a high immortal very quickly.

What about if that person is of the same cultivation level as myself?

Your magical power is too outstanding. I fear that it would be hard to find a medicine that can sedate you.

But, I think this drug can still maintain its effect for two or three breaths.

May I ask why you want a pill like that?

To train my mind. Thank you, Doctor.

Where did a thief like you come from that you dare pick flowers from my Peach Forest?

Why are you here?

I should be the one asking that.

Why are you here? Looking for me?

I went to look for your Senior Sister for some medical questions.

So, you are leaving now?

Let me walk you out.

I initially planned to visit you in Shanling Tribe. Never thought I would bump into you here.

Why are you visiting me?

Miss me?

I miss you a lot.

Did Heavenly Emperor receive my memorial?

Has he agreed?

The flooding in the mortal world is very severe, water monsters are wreaking havoc.

Our Shanling Tribe is also being affected by it.

Once this matter calms down, I will announce the succession matter to my subjects.

Okay.

The Zhuri Bird.

Ling Xi.

What is that?

If I die, try to find someone who will treat you well.

What?

I am older than you by several tens of thousands of years. I surely will die earlier than you--

Nonsense!

If you dare abandon me,

I will forget you, not remembering you for eternity.

I am now a high god.

I am also someone who has been a State Master.

Also, for someone like me, how could it be hard to find some young handsome lad?

At that time, I will anger you to the point that you will resurrect!

Did you hear me?

I heard you.

Say, why is time moving so slow?

We have just been separated for a few days, and I already miss you so much.

Once we are married,

let us move to live in the Polar Abyss, okay?

T-That Hualiao has occupied my house. I-I do not have a place to live here in Peach Forest already.

Sure.

But...Polar Abyss

seems to be so quiet and cold.

We should change the interior decoration there.

I also want to plant some peach trees.

I just fear...that they might not grow because of the cold weather.

Then, can you help me with that?

Of course.

Can we raise chickens from the mortal world there?

No problem.

Then, let us raise a group of chickens and eat the eggs they lay.

You must build me a kitchen.

I must eat every day.

Let me think. What else did I miss?

I almost forgot why I am here.

I came to get some fabric from my Senior Sister.

Fabric?

Fabric woven from the silk produced by the fire silkworm from the remote wilderness is very colorful like the red glow of sunrise.

It is the best fabric for a wedding dress.

I...want...to personally make

my wedding dress.

What color do you like?

What is wrong with you? You are acting strange today!

No such thing.

Oh right. Did you bring the Immortal Knot?

I carry it every day.

Leave it with me.

Why?

I can look at it when I miss you.

Smooth talker.

Fine. Then, I will leave now.

Go back early.

I...will go visit you in Fuyun Hall once I am less busy.

I am going now.

I am going now. Wait for me.

♫ 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 ♫

♫ As I participate in, not pass through this mystery ♫

♫ If the world did not have you, if answers had no questions, ♫

Then, are you willing to take care of me and accompany me all your life,

never leaving me?

You can only like me.

You cannot have thoughts of infidelity.

You cannot have a change of heart. And you cannot give others a second glance.

You can only like me.

You cannot have thoughts of infidelity. You cannot have a change of heart.

And you cannot give others a second glance.

I went to Peach Forest yesterday and saw this very aromatic wine.

I especially brought one here as a gift to you.

Talking about it, do not know how long it has been

since we ate and drank at the same table already.

Right. I have abstained from eating and drinking for so many years.

I do not know any more the taste of this item inside my cup.

It is indeed a good wine.

Jiuchen, how long have you been

my disciple?

One hundred sixty thousand years.

It has been so long that I cannot remember it anymore.

What is inside Respected Teacher's heart are the billions of living beings in this world.

You have never thought for yourself.

I initially wanted to inherit your legacy,

but I got distracted and developed desires.

What is good is there in being me?

Nothing is tied with my heart.

I live like a firm rock.

Not interesting at all.

With you being like this now,

I feel very comforted.

Jiuchen, I stopped you before from saving Ling Xi.

Have you blamed me?

No.

I also have selfish reasons.

In this life, I only had you and Yunfeng as my disciples.

Yunfeng's personality is too bizarre, so it would be hard for him to handle important duties.

But you knew ever since you became sensible

what you wanted to become.

You guarded it day and night, with the movement of the stars and constellations,

for years and years, never complaining

and never doubting. As days passed,

I forgot that

you were also a child.

From a small ball upon birth,

you grew up into this tall man.

You were not born as the God of War.

You were just a very sensible child.

If your parents were still alive,

you would not have become how you are now.

You would have grown up in a carefree manner just like the others.

I instead feel

that I was too strict on you.

I do have some complaints.

Tell me then.

I remember during my thirteen thousandth year's birthday,

you bestowed upon me the Ancestor's Sword and taught me the "Thunder Rush Sword Technique".

I really liked it.

I went into seclusion for two hundred years

to understand the secrets of that sword technique. When I came out,

you ordered me to look for Yunfeng in the Northern Sea.

When I arrived there, I discovered that the little prince of the Northen Sea

was having a banquet

to celebrate his birthday.

Only then did I realize

that when others have birthdays, they can invite their friends over for merriment.

But not long after,

the water monster Leishe wreaked havoc in the Four Seas.

That Northern Sea little prince died by being devoured by the water monster.

I used the Thunder Rush Sword Technique to eliminate demons and monsters.

And because of that, I became famous overnight.

Only then did I understand

your painstaking effforts.

High mountains, flowing rivers, peace and quiet, or billowing waves,

all are kindness. With the love and protection you gave me,

I surely will open my liver and drip my gall (T/N wholeheartedly)

to repay you, not regretting it even if I die a hundred times.

With our teacher-disciple relationship, no need to say these words.

If I do not say it now, I fear that I might not have the chance to say them again.

Jiuchen, what are you planning to do?

I already know that matter about Spirit-Binding Abyss.

What do you plan to do?

You must not do foolish things.
