Ancient Love Poetry

Episode 9

Why don’t you feed me?

Don’t go too far.

How much could a Nine-Clawed Lotus hurt you?

Didn’t you use to kick the Nine-headed Snake

and punch the Roc Bird?

Can you be so weak?

When was I that valorous?

You’re too old to remember it correctly.

Shanggu,

just feed me one.

Why allowed you to stand here?

I didn’t invite you.

Are you here for me?

The Nine-Clawed Lotus that hurt Tianqi was from Changyuan Hall’s east pond.

It has nothing to do with Gu Jun.

It was my oversight.

I’m here to make an apology to you.

Is this your attitude to apologize?

I’m the one who was hurt!

You decide if you accept the apology.

Tianqi,

please be the bigger person

and let go of the Nine-Clawed Lotus thing.

Don’t bring it up again.

Come on.

Forget it.

It’s not a big deal.

I don’t care much.

Anyway,

I’ve got something more important to do.

Within one month,

I’ll train Shanggu’s disciple, Gu Jun, with her.

If you do,

Gu Jun will lose.

Why do you think he’ll lose?

Shanggu,

let’s make a good showing.

In a month, let’s make Ice Cube...

The Dark Abyss.

I’d like to lend you the Dark Abyss

to help Gu Jun become a God.

I don’t believe you.

You’re never so kind.

This is the pellet

I made for Gu Jun to unblock his cold veins.

When did you make it?

How did you know he was born with cold veins?

You expect him to lose, don’t you?

Shanggu learns cultivation from me.

Gu Jun’s problem

is also my problem.

Shanggu,

have some dignity.

Just pellets.

I’ll make some for you.

Who dares to take any pellets with alcohol?

I swear I won’t drink any within one month.

Who believes that?

You!

Come on, Shanggu.

True God Bai Jue, I’d like to thank you on behalf of Gu Jun.

You’re welcome.

Shanggu,

I’ve got some other things.

Elixirs, magic weapons, armors and good wine.

I’ve got everything.

Don’t bother.

You don’t like Gu Jun, do you?

Why do you suddenly show some mercy?

Trying to take him away?

Come to the Pilgrimage Hall at 11 tonight.

I’ll give you the key to the Dark Abyss.

Shanggu,

you promised me last night.

Don’t break your promise.

What are you doing?

Are you done?

Tianqi,

the Dark Abyss

is indeed the best place for Gu Jun.

All right.

Don’t bother to explain.

I don’t want to listen.

See you

at 11 tonight.

Wait.

When we proposed the fight,

we only said if Gu Jun lost,

I would go to the Nether World immediately.

But we didn’t say

what if he won.

That’s right.

We’re all here.

Let’s discuss about it.

Looks like

I’m asking for a snub again.

Shanggu.

Shanggu!

Bai Jue,

you cultivated yourself alone in the past tens of thousands of years.

Zhiyang and I brought Shanggu up.

So, you don’t decide

if she goes to the Nether World or not!

Zhiyang,

don’t you think so?

Where’s he?

Master,

something urgent happened in the lower realm.

True God Zhiyang has gone to handle it.

What a silly old thing!

Are you all right?

I’m fine.

You really do well in swordsmanship.

Her Grace is right about you.

What’s the good of that?

I’m born with cold veins

and chaotic spiritual power.

The cultivation

is over a thousand times harder for me.

Don’t lose heart.

Now that you’re in the Pilgrimage Hall

and Her Grace thinks highly of you,

she’ll figure out a way

to help you complete your cultivation soon.

If you’re in need,

ask me to practice swordsmanship with you at any time.

Thank you, Wu Huan.

When I was in the Phoenix Clan,

I was nothing

but a humble colorful Phoenix.

Thanks to the help of Her Grace,

I’ve come this far.

I believe

you’ll distinguish yourself one day.

I don’t care about that.

Master doesn’t despise my humble origin

and she’s nice to me.

I want nothing,

but to win honor for her.

Why were you practicing

even before I come?

Greetings, Wu Huan.

Go on with it.

I’ll leave you alone.

Wu Huan,

please wait.

I see you work hard

to take care of the Pilgrimage Hall.

This is the hot spring mud

we have on Mount Tianci.

Turn it into water

and apply it on your skin.

It’ll keep your skin moist.

Here’s some and please have a try.

Thank you, Muguang.

But you don’t need

to bother for me.

Thank goodness.

You finally smiled.

If you hadn’t stopped me,

I would have fallen out with Ice Cube.

It’s not a festival.

Why did you set fireworks?

As long as you can smile,

I’m willing to set fireworks

for you every day.

Keep such romantic words

for other goddesses.

Shanggu,

do you really not understand or are you playing fool?

It’s been so many years.

Can’t you see

how I feel for you?

Shanggu,

I like you.

I adore you

and all can be my witnesses

that I’m not lying.

Shanggu,

don’t you have any...?

Tianqi,

I always treat you as my elder brother.

I never have any feeling...

and haunting you

until death.

Hongri, what’s the time?

It’s nearly 11.

You’re right in time.

When the competition ends,

leave the God Realm willingly.

Don’t make me expose your crime in public.

I don’t understand. Master, what do you mean?

If I made any mistake,

please tell me.

What wrong have I done?

Why are you so cold to me only?

Bai Jue,

I’ve got something to tell you.

About Shanggu.

It’s already 11.

Why hasn’t Bai Jue come yet?

Your Grace,

have some tea and calm down.

Master,

I have had the cold veins for over a dozen years.

I’m used to it.

Don’t feel anxious.

Now that Bai Jue offered to lend us the Dark Abyss,

he won’t break his promise.

He’ll certainly complete his promise.

If he has changed his mind,

it’s my destiny.

I’ll forget it, then.

Don’t worry.

Master Bai Jue never breaks his promise.

This is

the Cloud Grass of our clan.

I made it into a sachet.

Carry it with you

and it’ll restrain the cold veins.

Compared to the Dark Abyss,

it has little effect.

But better little than none.

Wu Huan,

you’re so nice to me. I...

Say no more.

Practice carefully.

If you can defeat the Goddess of Snow

in this competition,

you’ll win honor for the Pilgrimage Hall.

Here.

Don’t worry.

I won’t let you down.

Zhiyang is so busy.

But look at you. You’re drunk.

Ridiculous.

I’m so depressed

that I need liquor to get me better.

What?

Want a fight?

That’s exactly what I want.

I’m helping you sober up.

You’re welcome.

I know.

I’m so close to Shanggu

that you’re angry.

You’re just jealous.

Nonsense!

What a surprise!

You even get jealous.

You look tough,

but you’re timid inside.

You’re even worse than me.

At least, I dare to confess my love

and I live a freer life than you.

Shanggu is destined to be the Chief God.

She’ll take over the instruction feather of Chief God.

To her,

love is simply a drop in the bucket

and it doesn’t matter.

Are you persuading me or yourself?

As long as she cultivates herself

and lives a good life,

that’s enough for me.

That’s enough for you.

But is that enough for her?

Bai Jue,

I think you’re poor and selfish.

But you don’t deserve any sympathy.

For you,

I’ve waited for so many years.

But you’re doing all this

for Shanggu!

Bai Jue.

Bai Jue, where are you?

Bai Jue!

Shanggu.

I’m sorry.

Gu Jun and I waited for long.

I promise you.

If Gu Jun wins,

you don’t need to go to the Nether World.

Seriously?

It depends on you, then.

Rest assured.

I’ll urge Gu Jun to practice hard.

I’ll do that, too.

I’ll defeat Gu Jun

and see how you end up.

Thunderclouds have gathered.

Gu Jun, this is the tribulation for you.

Gu Jun, hang in there!

Five thunder strikes left.

Master!

Her Grace is in danger! Shall we...?

I believe she can hold it.

Report from Chief of Twelve Apostles

Lately, immortals keep dying without a reason.

Goddess Yuemi, please figure out the reason.

Yuemi.

What makes you so happy today?

Good news.

Gu Jun finally unblocked his cold veins and became a God.

If he wins the competition,

I won’t need to go to the Nether World.

That’s great.

There’s finally good news.

In case,

I’ve taught him some advanced skills.

He said he was confident to win.

In this way,

I can always stay with you.

You mean with Bai Jue, right?

I don’t want to benefit from him.

What?

You said there was finally good news.

Did you have all bad news today?

Not only today,

for days.

Every day, immortals die without a reason.

Even heavenly generals have suffered.

Even I might suffer soon.

Devils did that?

Go and ask Zhiyang.

But now I finally understand that

Bai Jue insists on letting you experience in the Nether World

so that you can acquire the Power of Chaos

for a right reason.

For several spiritual veins,

how many years

have you fought

and how many members of yours have died?

Your Grace.

Why can’t you stop?

Why is Zhiyang so angry?

He’s upset about the dispute between seven islands.

You’d better not get in, Your Grace.

I understand.

To block the cracking barrier,

you have few spiritual veins left.

You both are at the end of your ropes.

If the problem isn’t solved...

Why are there few spiritual veins?

Everyone in the Three Realms is expecting

Your Grace

to take over the instruction feather of Chief God soon,

because the Power of Chaos in the lower realm collapses.

The distribution of spiritual power has already been out of balance.

Trivial Stories Love Story of Nine-headed Snakes

Gu Jun, congratulations.

You’ve made great progress.

Without Master’s help

in the Dark Abyss,

I wouldn’t have become a God.

Wu Huan,

thank you for the sachet, too.

The sachet has little effect.

Never mind.

By the way,

tomorrow you’ll have a competition

with Goddess Xueying.

Don’t waste the efforts

Her Grace made on you.

Don’t worry.

I won’t disappoint you and Master.

You’re used to using spells.

But I got my skills

by fighting in the swamps.

You cheated.

You just became a God.

How could you have such strong power?

Goddess of Snow,

just say it if you can’t accept losing.

You used spells

when fighting my master.

But I used none of them today.

I didn’t cheat at all.

I won the competition.

Master Bai Jue, please take back the order

sending my master to the Nether World.

I know what to do.

Shanggu,

you must also practice hard when you stay in the God Realm.

Goddess of Snow,

now that you lost,

shouldn’t you keep your promise?

Forget it.

I’ll make the decision

and spare you.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Wait!

Your Grace,

there was a fire in Taichu Hall

and the Nine-Clawed Lotus wounded Master Tianqi.

I’ve figured it out

and I want to tell on someone.

Hongri,

it wasn’t a fight of some immortals?

Zhong Li, Xia Hui,

come out and confess!

Master, please understand.

It’s her. Goddess Xueying hinted us

to steal the Nine-Clawed Lotus

from the east pond of Changyuan Hall and frame Gu Jun up.

Goddess of Snow disobeyed the rules.

True Gods, please punish her accordingly.

Master, I’m sorry.

I shouldn’t have disrespected Her Grace.

Master, I know I’m wrong!

Stop calling me Master.

For the sake that you made contributions

when fighting devils,

you’re expelled out of the God Realm

and shall guard the barrier of the Nether World.

Zhong Li and Xia Hui are expelled, too.

They mustn’t come back again.

Leave!

Get up!

There’s already much fun to see today.

I don’t mean to add more.

In fact, no matter Gu Jun won or lost,

I had decided to go to the Nether World.

I’m not coming back

until I complete my power.

Shanggu,

don’t!

Ten thousand years ago,

I was born on Heaven and Earth Platform

in the name of the Chief God.

I feel quite guilty.

When Xuanyi was the Chief God,

he could at least defend the God Realm.

But I

don’t have much power

or make any contribution to the Three Realms.

It may also be the reason

why Goddess of Snow doesn’t respect me.

Even if you leave the Three Realms to me,

you’ll be worried, right?

So,

I’ve decided to cultivate myself in the Nether World alone.

After I complete the Power of Chaos,

I’ll defend the Three Realms.

I may not grow up

unless I leave you.

The world is big.

Time for me to go out for a look.

A thousand years isn’t long.

Wait for me.

Who are you?

How dare you break in the Devil Realm?

Are you not wanting a long life

and seeking for your doom?

Want to kill me?

Let’s see if you can.

She’s heading for Overlord...

Let her go.

The Pilgrimage Hall

Shanggu.

Shanggu,

I’ve found some good story books in the lower realm

and let’s enjoy them.

Shanggu.

What a poor memory I have!

She’s gone to the Nether World.

What are you doing?

You freaked me out!

Well, let me tell the truth.

Shanggu is going to stay in the Nether World for a thousand years.

Without such treasures,

I’m afraid she’ll feel bored.

So, I came secretly

to bring her some toys and books.

I nearly forgot this.

You!

You’re the obstacle on her way to success.

Bai Jue is trying hard to instruct her,

but you always make trouble.

You’re complaining about me?

What’s this?

I just miss her.

Ice Cube let Shanggu

cultivate herself alone.

Will she suffer there?

She will, of course.

But Bai Jue didn’t think about

who brought Shanggu up.

You brought her up.

She won’t easily suffer.

You’re right.

When Shanggu is away,

I feel a void in my heart.

She’s there for cultivation,

but I still want to see her.

Don’t you have any business to do?

No.

You do?

Go.

Let me show you

what business I have.

Where are we going?

Why did you take me here?

That’s Altair.

And that’s Vega.

I know.

The Ancestral God punished them

so that they couldn’t get back together for years.

That’s cruel.

How about

making them get back together

after Shanggu becomes the Chief God?

They meet once a year,

but they have quite a lot of babies.

Altair is taking care of them.

All Vega does is to enjoy her life,

instead of suffering from raising babies.

She’s quite happy.

She isn’t as miserable as others think.

Is... Is that all right?

Why isn’t it?

As long as they decide

who works and who takes care of babies,

it’s family stuff.

Others shouldn’t interfere.

You know what?

You have a point.

But, sometimes when I see them miss each other too much,

I let them meet secretly

when others are not noticing.

I appreciate it when you break rules

and behave willingly.

Would you like a chess game?

Where are the chess pieces?

You always look rude.

I didn’t expect you to enjoy the chess game?

Will you play or not?

I will.

There you are, Your Grace.

What?

Aren’t you afraid of death?

I checked ancient books before I came.

Bai Jue wanted me to cultivate myself in the Nether World

because the Deicide Flowers release the spirit of Chaos

when they’re in bloom.

Only the Chief God can absorb it

and it will help me complete the Power of Chaos.

The blooming will be a thousand years.

So will the cultivation.

Precisely.

But Bai Jue neglected another treasure.

The Origin of God-defending at the border of the Nether World.

Looks like you did some work.

I come here to cultivate my power.

Before I make it,

I’m not leaving.

I come to see you,

because I want you to set up a barrier

at the border of the Nether World

that even Gods can’t break.

You’re afraid they may regret

and drag you back to the God Realm?

I’m afraid I can’t hold it,

and then I’ll count on others

or miss the comfort in the God Realm.

Your Grace,

you’re still so straightforward.

I can help you,

but on two conditions.

What conditions?

Devils like us are always bloodthirsty.

Many devils guard at the border of the Nether World.

Even Bai Jue can’t take much advantage.

So, leave your life to destiny.

I won’t show mercy on you.

It’s not that easy to kill me, either.

What’s the second condition?

I’ve been too lonely in this place.

I need you to come often

and chat with me.

Look how I’m chained.

Are you afraid I’ll kill you?

If I die,

I can’t chat with you.

You’re such a lovely goddess.

I don’t really want to kill you.

Once my barrier is set up,

you cannot get out of the Nether World

unless you become the Chief God.

Have you thought it over?

It’s my first time

to think something over so carefully.

- Greetings, Master Tianqi. - Greetings, Master Tianqi.

Master Tianqi,

Her Grace ordered that

no one shall get into the Nether World.

Get out of my way.

I’ll stay with Shanggu.

Now you know how dangerous the Nether World is?

All we should do

is respect her decision.

I’m not like you

who likes to reason things out.

I can’t let her take the risk alone!

Zhiyang, be quick.

Break the barrier with me

and get Shanggu back!

What are you waiting for? Do it!

This month, 38 immortals died.

When Shanggu offered to go to the Nether World,

I was thinking

if we spoilt her too much

and held up her growth.

In fact,

she’s stronger than we imagined.

If we take her out of the Nether World,

won’t we hold her back?

You’d better pray for her safety.

Master,

the leaving of your spirit

consumes great power

and even hurts your lifespan!

Are you sure you’ll do this?

As long as she’s safe,

let alone ten thousand years’ lifespan,

even if it’s a hundred thousand years’ lifespan,

I won’t mind.

Rest assured, Master.

I won’t leave this place

and I’ll protect your body.

You must be very careful.

If the devils

or Xuanyi finds your spirit,

your body will be ruined, too.

I know.
