LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 32 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Where did you go?

Why did you get back so late?

Look at you.

You’re covered in sweat.

Come here.

Didn’t you say you didn’t go anywhere?

I went to the flower valley.

I wanted to pick some flowers to make a nice scent sachet for you.

But didn’t find any suitable ones.

Turns out you went to the flower valley. No wonder why your hand is cold.

Come.

Drink some tea.

Warm yourself up.

Eat some dimsum.

Your favorite is not rice cake

but osmanthus cake.

Tomorrow I’ll take a walk with you.

Bring a few human slaves to play with you.

I’ve been too busy recently.

I haven’t kept you company.

Oh yes,

that Shaoyang disciple under the cliff,

Chen Mingjue.

I...

What’s wrong?

Eat slowly.

Come.

That Chen Mingjue,

people haven’t minded him for a long time, need to give him some food.

Can’t let him starve.

I need him to restrain Zhong Minyan.

I’ll go.

I’ll go deliver some food to him.

And get some food for myself.

Ok.

Just give him this to eat.

Superintendent. We brought the item.

This is the gift for Shaoyang’s Sect Leader Chu.

-Take care when you deliver it. -Yes.

Oh yes

you two know the way

go with them.

Stop.

You’re only following them.

Who told you to come over?

Take it away.

We’ve been searching around here for a long time but there’s not a single demon.

Looks like it’s another fruitless day.

Sifeng,

how do you feel right now?

Ting Nu said you just recovered,

your Qi may not circulate well around your body.

If you feel unwell tell me.

Don’t worry.

I won’t push myself.

Why is there a fire on that mountain?

Why is there such a big fire?

Let’s go take a look.

Our entire orchard is destroyed!

Enough, stop crying.

It’s fire from Heaven!

There’s no use in crying,

we’re lucky to keep our lives.

Hurry and go.

Uncle what happened?

You say this mountain fire is Heavenly fire?

It’s Heavenly fire.

I saw it myself.

A large fireball fell from the sky.

Nothing was left.

What crime did we commit

for Heaven to kill us?

Hurry and go!

Let’s take a look.

Hurry and run!

We must hurry and put out the fire

and protect some of the fields and trees.

I’ll set up the formation to trigger some rain.

But Sifeng

if you use a secret technique

it may harm your health.

It’s fine.

I’m only putting out the fire.

The fire is extinguished.

What mortal snuffed out this celestial’s fire?

Celestial?

Two mortals?

You’re quite courageous.

I seemed to have seen you somewhere.

In the Bahuang mirror.

Turns out you’re Celestial Beast Teng She from Heaven.

It was you two who set up the rain formation

and soaked me?

We did not know you were here and was in a rush to put out the fire

so we disturbed you.

Please do not blame us

for putting out the fire.

I passed by the Mortal Realm

and noticed this place needed a heavenly trial

that was why I cast a fire onto the mountain.

It is the fate of this land.

Yet because of you two,

you ruined Heaven’s Dao.

What to do? Want to die to atone for your sins?

What kind of reason is that?

What right do you have to decide the fate of the living beings here?

Because you’re a celestial?

After this land is nourished by Heavenly fire it will become a land of fortune!

The people who live here

will have 3 lifetimes of fortune!

They should thank me.

You have quite the courage stinky woman.

Then what about the people who originally lived here?

Do you know because of you they have lost their homes?

That they’re injured or dead?

That is fate! Fate!

Do you understand, you fool?

Stop the nonsense.

Hurry and tell me what you have to say. Don’t disturb my task.

I’m in a hurry to find someone!

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Sifeng!

He died so easily?

Mortals are so weak.

Dingkun!

Dingkun?

You’re the God of War?

I managed to run into you here.

You’ve lost your bearing after becoming a mortal.

I almost couldn’t recognize you.

Heaven does not disappoint those determined.

1000 years have passed.

I’ve been searching for a chance

to fight you properly.

And see who is better. Bring it on!

I am not fighting you!

I am going to kill you!

Xuanji!

Sifeng!

Sifeng you’re ok?

I thought you were dead!

I thought he killed you!

I’m fine.

I’m glad you’re fine.

Didn’t you want to have a powerful spiritual beast?

If a celestial beast from the Heavens becomes your pet is that good enough?

No one does that!

You’re showing disrespect to a sacred beast! This won’t end here!

But Sifeng

I don’t like him.

He is not good at all.

If he becomes my spiritual beast

will he be obedient?

Never!

Stinky woman you give up on that thought!

Of course.

Once you become his master

he will be your spiritual beast and he can’t go against his master’s orders.

In the future

he cannot pester you to fight him.

He’ll listen to you.

Celestial Teng She you will not cause such a disturbance to the Mortal Realm anymore.

That sounds good.

What do I do?

Xuanji

give me your hand.

You dare!

I’m going to roast you!

What’s this?

How comes I’ve never seen you use this before.

This is a blood spirit pearl that contains your blood and Teng She’s blood.

This snake is quite mischievous and hard to train.

It’s easier with that pearl.

I...I...

No.

I’m going to fight you everything I have!

Xuanji,

squeeze it.

Squeeze it again.

Call his name.

Teng She.

Teng She greets Mistress.

Done.

You’ve established a blood bond.

You’re his master from now on.

In the future you’re my spiritual beast ok?

We’re family from now on.

Guest please come in.

Little Yinhua is my spiritual beast.

She’s like your elder.

She’ll teach you your manners.

Xuanji and I are going in to see if there’s a private room.

Need to get a bowl of water to wash your dirty face.

It’s the same for you!

His spiritual beast is a ratsnake?

Telling a ratsnake to teach me

is like humiliating me!

I’m not a ratsnake.

I’m a Chinese krait snake.

I don’t care what kind of snake you are

if I’m not leaving then I’m a stupid snake!

You don’t need a sword to fly?

Nonsense.

I’m a celestial beast,

a deity!

How can I be compared to an inferior animal like you?

It’s useless.

Without your master’s permission you can’t go far

before you lose all your Qi and all your blood runs in the wrong direction.

How far can I go then?

That’s how far you can go.

Sifeng!

Chu Xuanji.

Why is your face so dirty?

I can’t clean it.

I’ll help you clean it then.

Come here.

Come here.

I’m not done yet!

What’s wrong with your eyebrows?

They were singed by the fire now.

They’ve gone.

What to do?

Is it ugly?

It is very ugly.

Is it?

It is not?

Is it ugly?

If you say it’s ugly again

that is payback!

Come here.

Sifeng,

you even know how to draw on eyebrows?

I was forced to learn.

Brother Liu said

that there is a purpose to everything you learn.

Didn’t expect this would come in useful.

This is the first time I’m drawing it for you so I’m not great at it.

I’ll do it slowly, I’m sure you’ll be pretty.

Don’t move.

It’s tickly.

Or I’ll give you eyebrows of a yaksha!

Almost done.

Sifeng

my father used to tell me

that when he was young he helped my mother draw her eyebrows too.

Your parents...

are different.

Done, take a look.

So pretty.

Sifeng you’re amazing.

So clever.

Guest!

Hurry and look.

What’s wrong?

That white-haired person who came with you

has taken apart the whole street!

Teng She?

Teng She!

What is he...

I’m in a bad mood today

so you’ll have to have to get a few bruises.

Teng She!

Teng She what are you doing?!

Stop!

You want to keep me around right?

Fine!

I will not let you have a day of peace!

What kind of harbinger of calamity is he?

Indeed where did he come from?

Let me tell you. You should find the instigator of this!

There is someone called Chu Xuanji there!

She is my Mistress.

She told me to do all this!

Go talk to her!

Oh yes

don’t let her off.

Why did you allow your servant to hurt others?!

I...When did I….I didn’t!

-Don’t go! Compensate me for my animals! -Compensate me for my wine!

I’ll pay for it.

Ok, I’ll pay for all your losses.

Ok.

Good.

You have money, right?

You mortals!

Good.

I will pull apart your entire street!

What are you doing?

Teng She!

Didn’t Little Yinhua teach you?

As a spiritual beast you can’t go against your mistress.

You will suffer on her behalf.

And the consequences of disobedience are severe.

I don’t believe it.

Fine.

I won’t use enchantment.

I will use my fists!

What?

Is this a massage?

Come, here.

I’m worn out recently.

Come, here.

I’m…I’m tired.

I’m going to eat.

Stop!

You haven’t apologized after this.

As my spiritual beast

you can’t behave like before

and bully the weak.

Do what you want.

Want me to apologize?

I refuse!

Are you going to apologize?

As if I will...

Just now he did that to you so I told him to go on his knees to apologize to you.

Don’t worry.

He won’t do that again.

Stinky woman.

If you’re that capable throw away the pearl and we fight one on one!

Don’t go!

Come back!

Don’t go!

I need face!

Don’t laugh!

I am telling you...you...

Let’s eat.

You!

You were in the wrong how can you be so fierce?

How can you be unreasonable after committing a wrong?

You can starve.

Do what you like!

I won’t treat your wound then.

How can you laugh?

Why is your beast so obedient

and mine...

is like that?!

Of course.

Not everyone can find

a spiritual beast as good as me, right?

Don’t argue with him all the time.

You should talk to him.

Look he’s cowing over there refusing to eat or drink.

Doesn’t he look like a stray dog you picked up?

A little.

Think,

if he’s a little stray dog you just picked off the street

wouldn’t he bare his teeth at you?

He wants to bite you yet can’t.

He wants to eat yet can’t.

Isn’t he quite pitiful?

What do you think you should do?

I should hug him and rub his head.

Right.

Just train him like a puppy.

He’s not a human.

We can’t train him like a human.

If he’s disobedient

you can smack his backside.

If he’s obedient you can hug him.

He’s not a human right?

That’s why we can’t train him like a human.

Here.

This is a spiritual beast manual.

I’m giving it to you now.

Just follow the advice on it. You’ll learn how to do it slowly.

You’re so clever.

Got it.

This is a special medicine for injuries from Shaoyang.

It’s very effective.

Although I’m angry today

but I feel we need to treat that injury,

otherwise it may get serious.

I’m telling you

do not think that I will bow down to you

with little gifts like this.

I’m a celestial beast!

I look down at the behavior of your mortals!

Who told you to bow down to me?

Although you’re my celestial beast

but we can still be friends.

In the future I’ll protect you.

What are you doing?

You’re treating me like a dog?

You rubbed my head?

Only Dijun and the Heavenly Emperor

can rub my head!

Ok, ok.

Are you hungry?

Although I don’t know what you like to eat,

but Little Yinhua said you would like it

so I brought it for you.

Move it!

What are you doing?

What do you think of me as?

I’ve been a deity several thousand years ago!

I’m different from that ratsnake that just crawled out from a snake lair!

That’s not what I mean!

That’s not what you mean!

What is this?

You wish to raise me like a pet?

Chu Xuanji,

let me tell you,

a soldier would rather be killed than insulted.

Ok, ok.

Don’t be so angry.

Let’s make up ok?

As it has come to this,

I will do my best to accept you as my spiritual beast.

You do your best to accept me as spiritual beast?

It’s clearly me who is living a life worse than death ok?

Hurry and break this blood bond!

I refuse!

You know too

that unless I cut my arm off

otherwise I can’t break it!

It’s already set in stone,

none of us can regret it.

I don’t care!

Let me tell you Chu Xuanji,

no matter what I have to leave.

Little snake.

Catch.

You’re not a fool

as the bond is made

why be so upset?

Besides, you don’t lose any face by accepting her as your mistress.

It’s more interesting than being in Heaven.

I know you sneaked to the Mortal Realm.

You said that you set the woods on fire because of a tribulation.

I think it was an accident.

I know you’re worried the Heavenly Realm will punish you that’s why you accepted it.

However,

Xuanji helped you out.

You must be a mind reader!

You know how to read minds?

I don’t know how to read minds

but the Heavenly Realm will never

intrude on the mortal affairs.

You say you came here for the God of War.

Turns out Celestial Teng She

is a deity who likes to cause trouble?

You!

You’re all dismissed!

I’m tired now.

You drink with me.

How did it go?

Did you find a Tianxu Sect ring?

We searched everywhere but couldn’t find one.

Looks like they’ve been careful recently.

It’s not like we didn’t gain anything.

Xuanji got herself a spiritual beast.

Spiritual beast?

Spiritual beast?

Why aren’t you coming in?

Teng She!

Let me introduce you.

This is my good friend Ting Nu.

This is Brother Liu, Liu Yihuan.

This is...

Celestial Teng She.

You have some knowledge at least.

At least you know me.

You!

You stole the Heavenly Eye?

How dare you!

You’re from the Heavenly Realm?

I am the celestial minister with the brightest future.

As long as I inform the Heavenly Realm

about what happened here

then none of you can escape punishment!

I’ve been hiding for so long because I was afraid the Heavenly Realm would find me.

I’m finished now.

I’m so scared.

Hurry and tell that girl

to let me go!

You think I’m stupid?

You...

are Chu Xuanji’s spiritual beast.

You won’t be able to report me.

It’s more dangerous to let you go.

Little Xuanji,

you did very well.

For your Brother Liu you must not let him go!

You!

You!

You!

I remember now!

You were the merman physician cast to the mortal world.

Right?

I did not expect Celestial Teng She

to remember

an insignificant merman like me.

Cut the nonsense.

You’re all demons.

Where is that Wu Zhiqi?

I wish to fight him!

Teng She!

You’re too noisy!

Treat my friends more nicely!

Also,

why do you pick a fight with everyone?

One day

I will capture

each and all of you!

Celestial Teng She

would you like me to choose a room for you?

I will live in the room I like!

You stupid snake.

You can’t escape like that.

How about this?

For the sake that we’re both a similar species

I will help you.

What method do you have?

You can’t hurt your mistress with an enchantment.

But I wonder if it will work with poison?

I have here

a bottle of soul entry poison that I stole from Liu Yihuan.

Want to try it?

That’s a good idea!

Not right.

That stinky woman is the God of War,

if I poison her to death

then it’s underhanded right?

Besides if I kill her

then who can I fight with?

That’s why you’re stupid.

I didn’t tell you to poison her.

You can control how much poison you use so

that you can cut off her arm when she’s passed out from the poison.

Never mind.

I don’t think I should give you the poison.

I want it! I want it!

Fine.

Then it’s settled.

Don’t tell anyone I tried to help you.

Otherwise if my master finds out

he won’t let me off.

Don’t worry.

As you went to such lengths to help me I, Celestial Teng She

am not an dishonorable person.

Good.

Go then.

Teng She.

Why aren’t you sleeping?

Stinky woman.

How can I sleep

at such an exciting moment?

You accept me, such a powerful celestial beast

shouldn’t you drink to celebrate this?

You’ve decided to remain?

Drink it first.

Perhaps I will be happy after 2 cups and not leave.

Cheers.

This wine is pretty good.

Come, another cup.

It’s pretty good.

Then drink some more.

I give you the entire flask.

Why isn’t she falling yet?

Teng She.

What’s wrong with your face?

What’s wrong with my face?

It’s handsome.

Is it?

It’s all…here…

What do you mean?

I...

My handsome face!

Teng She! Teng She!

Hurry and wake up!

Wake up!

A ghost!

Come back.

Look at me.

It’s me Teng She!

Hurry up! Give me the antidote to your soul entry!

Soul entry?

You are poisoned with my soul entry?

Right.

Hurry give me the antidote. I’m so ugly.

Impossible.

If you consumed by soul entry

you would’ve died.

Besides

my soul entry is here.

However my 7 venom face destroyer is gone.

Did you consume my 7 venom face destroyer as my soul entry poison?

No!

I don’t care what poison it is

hurry give me the antidote!

I only made one bottle of 7 venom face destroyer!

There’s no antidote.

-Teng She! -No antidote?

But don’t worry,

my 7 venom face destroyer

I made it using the stinger 7 types of poisonous wasps

those poisoned will only...

have a bloated face

and have pus running down his face, which will clot up and become uglier and uglier.

But you won’t die.

You won’t die.

The only way you die

is dying from the surprise of your ugliness.

You!

But Teng She

why did you secretly

drink that poison?

I think he wanted to poison you

but stole the 7 venom face destroyer instead.

Never expected that the effects would be deflected to him.

It’s like picking up a stone and hitting his foot with it.

Did you really do that?

So what if I did that?

What if I didn’t?

It was all because of you!

If you weren’t thinking of sly and underhanded tricks

to force me to be your spiritual beast

would I end up like this?

I...

Celestial Teng She

was once the minister with the brightest future

and the most handsome.

And now I’m like this because of a mortal!

And became so ugly too!

I don’t wish to live!

You probably know how to sing the songs of the secret techniques of the Heavenly Realm.

As you’ve become Xuanji’s spiritual beast

it’s because of the destiny between you.

I thought you were a deity who accepts his defeat, so I showed you some respect.

Never expected

you even thought of such underhanded methods.

You truly surprised me.

Xuanji,

as he won’t die,

then leave him.

Brother Liu.

Is there no way we can cure him?

It’s not like we can’t.

Hurry and tell me how you can cure me!

It depends on whether your mistress is willing to save you or not.

You’re Xuanji’s spiritual beast now.

You share a blood bond.

Then of course Xuanji’s blood

is the best antidote.

If Xuanji

is willing to use her blood to help you force the poison out

then you will be cured.

Xuanji don’t.

Those beasts who hurt their own masters deserve some punishment.

Don’t worry.

I don’t ask for her to save me.

If I beg her to save me,

then I will have to accept her as my mistress.

I would rather be ugly forever!

Stinky woman!

What are you doing?

You’re still my spiritual beast,

I said before

I will protect you.

Drink this blood.

I won’t accept you as my mistress.

I didn’t save you so you can remain.

I truly...

can’t stand you being so ugly.

Stinky woman let me tell you,

don’t force me.

Hurry up open your mouth!

Drink it

and go back to Heaven.

What did you say?

As you’re so unwilling

I will not force you.

I have many things to do every day.

I don’t have time to argue with you.

However

if you need to cut off my arm

I’m unwilling to do that.

How about this?

I allow you to leave my side for as long as you want.

A mortal’s life is very short.

A day in Heaven is a year in the Mortal Realm.

If you stay there for several dozen days

then you will regain your freedom.

You’re willing to let me go back?

If I let you save me

then I will have lost my face!

Face?

You don’t even have your looks now what face do you want?

Think carefully.

Originally,

I took you as my spiritual beast

because I wanted to save my friend.

Didn’t expect you to be so unwilling.

Looks like we don’t have any destiny.

I can’t force it.

Anyway

you’re not the only one who

can be my spiritual beast.

You don’t want me.

I don’t want you either!

Hurry up!

Hurry and drink your antidote and go back to Heaven.

Let’s go Sifeng.

Hurry up!

This minor wound is nothing.

Don’t move.

If I knew earlier

I wouldn’t have helped you take that Teng She.

I didn’t know it would be so troublesome either.

I don’t find it troublesome

I just regret

that you gave so much of your attention

to him.

Turns out you’re even jealous of a spiritual beast.

Jealousy

isn’t directed at a particular person.

Aren’t you going to comfort me?

Is this ok?

I don’t want that kind of consolation.

In the future, I want this kind of consolation.

Sifeng.

Teng She will be leaving soon

no one will be disturbing us.

You don’t want him?

There’s no point in forcing others.

What if he’s willing to remain?

How is that possible?

I heard a few rumors about Teng She.

Perhaps this may help you.

What rumors?

Both of you seem to have a similar hobby/interests.

Teng She.

Aren’t you leaving?

I’m not going to keep you for breakfast.

Hurry and go.

What is this? Smells so nice.

This is a broth made of a chicken.

Been simmering for a dozen hours.

I put some preserved bamboo shoots, sausage and abalone.

Sifeng.

I want to eat that.

What is that?

It’s a mountain stream carp only found around here.

Used perilla to get rid of the fishy taste, added some veined rapa whelk.

Try it.

So delicious.

What is inside?

I roasted a leg of lamb.

I’m roasting half until its golden

and the other half added some orange peel and star anise, dried chili & some cumin

and roast it over a small fire.

We can eat it tonight.

But a certain someone can’t eat it.

Why?

I’m leaving after I eat.

Aren’t you going back to the Heavenly Realm?

Hurry and go.

It’s so delicious.

So this is what they call the delicacy of the mortals?

Exactly.

There are few people in the world

who can cook so well.

Sifeng is one of them.

I think the Mortal Realm is nice too.

Aren’t you going back to the Heavenly Realm?

Hurry and go.

Will I go just because you tell me to?

I have a habit

of doing the exact opposite

of what people tell me to do.

You tell me to go,

I refuse to go.

You’re not leaving?

Anyway

you mortals only live for several dozen years.

I will play with you for them.

It’s nothing.

But you have to promise that I have delicious food to eat every day.

If there’s no good food

then perhaps I’ll leave.

You’re truly staying?

Why do you have so much to say?

I don’t repeat myself.

Fine then.

As you’re staying eat some more then.

Come.

Sifeng eat some more too.

The two of you,

enough.

Just what happens usually.

Do what you like.

Continue.

Just leave me the good food.

The food in the Mortal Realm is delicious.

The food Heaven is not.

The texture is like mud.

There’s no taste.

Indeed.

The prettier the object is, the more unreliable it is.

That’s right.

You know that too?

Dijun would often say

that those that are pretty

that are tempting

are usually unreliable.

Bai Lin?

I’ve seen that Dijun before

in the Bahuang mirror.

However

who is he?

Turns out you’re so stupid

that you can’t even remember Dijun?

Hurry and tell me.

You know so little.

Dijun is Dijun Bai Lin.

If he didn’t ask the Heavenly Emperor for mercy you would’ve died.

How could you be sitting here asking me who he is?

He asked for my pardoning?

Right.

Back then,

that old man Siming said

that you loved Dijun very much.

What happens you went on these tribulations

you completely forgot about them?

In a turn of an eye you found this weakling

you forgot about Dijun.

Bai...

I loved the Dijun?

Who is Siming?

He made it up right?

It’s because it was unrequited love.

That’s why you were angry

and hated the entire Heavenly Realm.

You wanted to rebel

that’s why you were cast down to the Mortal Realm.

Had to pass these tribulations.

Have you forgotten

all of that?

You say Xuanji broke the rules and was punished

over love?

What?

You’re jealous?

He is a Dijun in Heaven.

He can’t be compared to a mortal like you.

So what if he’s a mortal?

If I wasn’t cast down to the Mortal Realm

I wouldn’t have met Sifeng.

I don’t care who he is!

Only Sifeng is the best person for me in this world.

If you look down on the things a mortal makes

then don’t eat it!

Forget it.

As long as you promise me that you feed me delicious food every day

whether you love Dijun

or that weakling

it has nothing to do with me.

Also regarding that matter about saving your friend,

I will convince myself

to help you out on that minor matter.

Don’t snatch that.

It’s all mine!

♪ I have never wasted my time ♪

♪ The deeper I love, the more I am hurt from the betrayal ♪

♪ I cover my eyes so I can see for myself ♪

♪ Before I learn to embrace I learn to exile myself first ♪

♪ From this pain that cuts to my bones ♪

♪ Like my hand, like my foot, like you, irreplaceable ♪
