LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 39 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

According to you,

Haofeng never regretted her love for you and never abandoned or betrayed you.

She even removed your lover’s curse mask for you.

But in truth,

her love for you stopped after she found out you were a demon.

After she bore the child, the cultivating sect

detected the change in her.

If the old chief didn’t get there in time,

and killed them all,

then the secret of the Lize Palace would have been exposed.

And Haofeng...

before she could forget the pain of being in a

relationship with a demon and giving birth to such a monster,

she saw the cultivating sect members die in front of her.

How could she love you?

She will only hate you.

The only thing she wanted was to kill you.

Senior Brother oh Senior Brother.

You forced her to love you like she did previously.

She couldn’t even commit suicide.

You would torture her every day.

Continue making up the story. Continue it!

I knew you planned this.

Do you think I would believe you?

I won’t believe you at all!

Because I only believe in myself.

You forced Haofeng to remove your lover’s curse mask.

She only hates you

how could she love you?

Haofeng...

What’s wrong?

Haofeng.

Haofeng…

Don’t come near me!

Haofeng!

Haofeng…

Don’t come near me!

Don’t come near me!

Haofeng!

No matter how you treat me,

I won’t hurt you.

What’s wrong?

While the lover’s curse was triggered in you,

she finally managed to escape.

You could not control your demon form

and the wife of the Sect Leader of Shaoyang He Danping saw you.

Can’t you remember?

Senior Brother oh Senior Brother.

You completely disregarded

the safety of all the members of the Lize Palace.

You just struck He Danping a few times

before you chased after your Haofeng.

If I wasn’t behind you

helping you to get rid of He Danping,

the Shaoyang Sect would gave found out about our secret.

They would have led the cultivating sects to us.

Turns out you killed Xuanji’s mother!

Yes.

I did it.

So what?

I just tidied up the mess my senior brother created.

The old chief was so unfair.

He committed such a grave mistake yet he still doted on him.

It’s because he carries the bloodline of the 12-feathers within him.

That’s why the old chief used up all his cultivation to enchant him

so that he will think that everything he saw was the truth.

He didn’t want you to be killed by the lover’s curse.

Before he died,

he searched high and low to find the pill of forgetting love to make you take it,

in order to conceal the truth from you

so that you won’t die.

No...

No.

You’re lying!

You’re a crafty villain!

Haofeng clearly removed

my lover’s curse mask!

She swore that whether I was a mortal or demon

she would be with me forever.

That is the truth!

You!

Stop spouting these lies!

Father.

What’s wrong?

Senior Brother.

The one who killed Haofeng

was not someone else

but you.

No...

It’s not like that!

It’s not like that!

I didn’t lie!

Elder Luo knows about that too.

You can go and ask.

Shut up.

Elder Luo.

Please tell me.

What he said...

were lies right?

Chief.

Whether it is the truth or not

it is all in the past.

Why are you asking?

Elder Luo as you’re unwilling to tell him, then never mind.

Then I will show my senior brother

the treasure I’ve been keeping

for over 20 years.

This is a letter Haofeng wrote with her blood to her father.

I’ll read it to Senior Brother.

Your daughter, I am imprisoned by these demons.

I cry tears of blood every day.

I wish I could commit suicide to keep my chastity.

Today I finally managed to escape with my death.

I was tricked by the demons because I overindulged myself in love

bringing this shame to myself

and tainting the sterling reputation of the Dianjing Valley.

I regret it so much!

I die to prove my unswerving vow

forever

to never ally myself with demons.

Haofeng’s final letter.

Impossible.

Junior Brother.

tell me

this is not true right?

You said that to upset me right?

I’ve been at the Lize Palace for so many years but I’ve never heard

of a spell that can change someone’s memories!

Then Senior Brother tell me what this is.

I guess there is no enchantment

that can turn back time right?

You’re only deceiving yourself.

Chief!

Father.

Stop talking.

Your lover’s curse has been triggered. Hurry and take the pill of forgetting love.

Senior Brother,

what’s wrong?

If you and Haofeng truly loved each other,

the lover’s curse would have lifted long ago.

Why is it triggered again?

Shut up!

Yu Sifeng

you would rather shut me up

than want to know whether your mas…

your father and mother

truly loved each other

or if it was a doomed love?

Father!

Your mother has consumed the stone marrow.

She’ll wake up very soon.

She will tell you

what our love is like.

How we loved each other

He...

He is lying.

Senior Brother.

I am not lying.

Speaking of the stone marrow…

I remembered something else.

Back then the Dianjing Valley went to such great pains for 2 years

and finally found the 1000 year old stone marrow

to save Haofeng.

However a certain someone broke into the Dianjing Valley

and stole Haofeng’s body.

The Dianjing Valley searched hard for her but time had run out.

The old chief died in pain.

Nothing was left.

Senior Brother,

you probably don’t know about that right?

What do you mean?

What do you mean time had run out?

For cultivators, their physical form may be dead but they can still be saved.

If within 3 years,

they consume the 1000-year-old stone marrow they can be revived.

But after 3 years their primordial spirit will disappear and everything will be gone.

How can there be a medicine to revive the dead?

Didn’t you say

she consumed the 1000-year-old stone marrow?

Then let’s go and see your Haofeng

see if she’s alive

or dead.

Open the coffin!

Father!

Senior Brother.

I was joking.

You’re right.

The phoenix fly high in the sky.

The other birds look on in envy.

Your love with Haofeng is so great,

I am so envious of it.

Senior Brother look.

She isn’t dead.

Haofeng...

She is smiling at you.

Haofeng.

Mother…

I will never be with you demon!

I will never be with you demon!

I will never be with you demon!

The phoenix fly high in the sky.

The other birds look on in envy.

Father!

Father!

Father...

Your mother....

before she found out that I was a demon,

she loved me.

We...

did sincerely love each other.

Both father and son are so devoted to love.

I find it a shame for you.

In this lifetime

I used up all my effort

yet I talked the most ludicrous path.

I forsake you.

And forsake your mother even more.

Hurry.

Hurry take this pill of forgetting love.

Only in this way

can you cut yourself away from love sooner.

You won’t be like your father.

Hurting others and himself.

I refuse.

Hurry and consume it, that way you can keep your life.

Father!

Sifeng…

Promise Father,

you must manage the Lize Palace well.

Take care of the red-golden bird clan.

I promise you.

Father hurry and take it.

Father!

♪ Just like this we let each other go ♪

♪ With no regrets because I loved you deeply before ♪

What are you doing? Why are you not kneeling?

All of the Lize Palace disciples must kneel and see the Chief off!

Hurry and kneel!

Our Chief was so muddled when alive.

And died because of unspeakable reasons.

Of course we would not kneel down to him.

Unless...

The new Lize Palace Chief can convince everyone of his ability.

Only then will we think of him as our late Chief.

The Deputy Chief is wise and intelligent

he deserves the position.

I see him as the new leader of the Lize Palace.

We see the Deputy Chief as the new leader of the Lize Palace.

Deputy Chief....

Sifeng holds the gold feather seal.

He’s the new chief of the Lize Palace.

Do you plan to rebel?

How is it a rebellion?

Right now at a time when we’re at the brink of being wiped out

I only want the Lize Palace to remain in existence for many years.

How am I starting a rebellion?

The old chief’s body is not yet cold,

you can’t wait for a moment can you?

Yu Sifeng.

Give me the gold feather seal in your hand.

It will only ruin things if it’s in your hands.

Nothing good will come out of it.

I will help you share your burden

what do you think?

How many people in the Lize Palace has joined the Tianxu Sect?

The demons and devils in the world

are a family.

Why distinguish the Lize Palace from the Tianxu Sect?

Elder Bai,

what is the 25th rule of the Lize Palace?

Those who join the Lize Palace,

cannot join another sect for life!

Otherwise they are a traitor!

All of them may be executed.

The gold feather seal is here.

Those disciples in the Lize Palace who joined the Tianxu Sect

if you joined before today

I will pardon you.

But after today,

those who break that rule,

will be killed.

Now.

Those who wish to withdraw from the Tianxu Sect,

can come out.

Since little I grew up at the Lize Palace.

We are comrades, we should take care of each other.

Do not sacrifice your life pointlessly for an evil sect

like the Tianxu Sect!

You...

Come back!

Deputy Chief.

First you illegally consolidate power, then defy your superior trying to rebel against me.

Our rules means I cannot keep you.

I promised to protect the red-golden bird clan.

I will never stop pursuing you

until I arrest you.

Very well.

As you promised to protect your clansmen,

then you don’t want to

see them die because of you right?

You...

You threaten your own clansmen!

You’ve gone completely mad!

Give me the gold feather seal.

If you make me the new chief of the Lize Palace I will let them live.

Otherwise Elder Bai’s death

will only be the start.

Yu Sifeng.

If you attack me again

I promise you all the heads of these disciples will fall to the ground.

Why make it so that all of us are hurt?

I am only managing the Lize Palace for you for a few days.

Once the threat is over,

I promise I will return the gold feather seal to you.

What do you think?

Or...

the gold feather seal is more important than the lives of these people?

Very good.

Starting from today,

I will be the leader of the Lize Palace.

You will all listen to me.

My first order is

everyone in the Lize Palace must join the Tianxu Sect.

Those who disobey,

will be executed.

I love you

but you do not know it.

Sifeng…

I finally understand

how you feel.

Senior Brother.

Warrior Chu drank a lot of wine.

She’s in a drunken stupor.

But she still clutches that wine flask and refuses to let go.

We couldn’t stop her.

Senior Brother hurry and take a look.

But did I understand a little too late.

You must have feared before too.

Must have been anxious.

Your heart must have swayed too, right?

They all say

you’re a demon.

I’m the God of War,

that’s why,

I have to kill you.

Kill you?

How could I possibly kill you?

How could I possibly kill you?

If I have to do that,

I...

I would rather give up being the God of War.

Sifeng.

I know I understood your love a little late.

But no matter what,

you shouldn’t have lied to me.

You shouldn’t have deceived me.

Why did you deceive me?

♪ I’m willing to fall to this state, willing to bear this 1000 year wait ♪

♪ The dream you gave me is sufficient ♪

♪ I’ve been happy for a long time ♪

Zi Hu...

Zi Hu?

Your nose is quite sensitive.

Are your injuries better?

It’s too dangerous for you to be here.

Don’t worry about me.

I encountered Ting Nu and Liu Yihuan.

Ting Nu treated my wounds.

I was worried about you that was why I came to take a look at you.

I heard about what happened to Little Sifeng.

He’s the 12-feathers red-golden bird.

You fought too.

I didn’t expect he was…

But...

Do you really mind that much that he’s a demon?

Shouldn’t I mind?

Then...

Look,

you treated my injuries,

and you were friends with me and Ting Nu that merman.

Little Sifeng is not a demon who does evil either.

I don’t think he knows that the Lize Palace and the Tianxu Sect

had colluded with each other before this.

Then...

Can you not…

It’s different.

He shouldn’t have lied to me.

He’s the person I trusted the most.

But...

But he even concealed his identity from me.

Then...

Then the things he told me, the thing he did before

which is true,

which is a lie?

I...

What is true, what is a lie?

Then capture him.

You’ll know after you ask him properly.

If he betrayed you chop him up.

If it was a misunderstanding,

then have a good talk and resolve your misunderstandings.

See if there’s way to resolve it.

The worst thing in a relationship is when two people have misunderstandings over nothing.

If you miss each other,

it may be this lifetime.

You may regret it.

Ok.

I understand now.

Little Xuanji has made up her mind.

As you’ve made your decision,

I will go and find Sifeng

and tell him

that Xuanji doesn’t plan to see him ever again in this lifetime!

He can just give up.

The two of you should just end your relationship from now on!

No, no.

It’s not that I don’t want to see him.

I only…

I only…I…

You just haven’t thought about how you can face him?

Linglong…

you’re already my woman.

How could you speak up for a traitor?

Who is your woman?

You’re so shameless!

Did you forget how intimate we were before?

l am unable to sleep well

without you in my bed.

It was this Eldest Miss of Shaoyang

who has a colorful past with that Wu Tong.

No wonder she was saved after she was captured by the Tianxu Sect.

How was she saved?

She saved herself!

Linglong.

It’s me.

How did you know I was here?

Before when I was in Shaoyang when you’re sad you will hide by the river at the foot of the hill.

I know all of that.

Let me be alone for a while

ok?

Ever since you woke up,

you’ve not been happy.

Is something troubling you?

Can you tell me?

Ok.

I’m just here.

When you want to tell me,

I’ll always be there for you.

Zi Hu...

Say...

why does it have to be the Lize Palace?

Why does he have to be a red-golden bird demon?

And he has to protect that evil demon.

That evil demon killed my mother!

What should I do?

What should I do?

Xuanji,

think about Little Sifeng.

What should he do?

He was only a child back then.

That was what his master did.

He does not have a choice.

To him,

that person taught and raised him.

I heard Liu Yihuan say

his master is also his biological father.

He just found out

about his background too.

Tell me, what can Sifeng do?

It’s hard for him to satisfy both sides.

How is that possible?

Xuanji,

I know.

In this period, there have been so many troubles,

you’re frustrated,

and you suffer from the pain from what has happened.

I think Sifeng

suffers just as much pain as you feel.

I’ve lived for 1000 years.

There are some thing I finally understand.

A lifetime seems quite long

but we live for only one goal.

So to you,

do you prefer to follow the cultivating sects

or follow your heart?

But…

What’s the point if I’m the only one who is sincere?

Indeed.

That’s why you have to see what he feels for you.

I will go and find Liu Yihuan now.

Tell him to find Little Phoenix.

The two of you must meet up

so you can talk things out.

But I have to go back to Shaoyang tomorrow.

Don’t worry.

I will find a way to find you.

Wait for my good news.

It’s all my fault.

What did you say?

Say, it’s my fault that

I was captured by Wu Tong right?

How can it be your fault?

But they all look at me in that way.

I don’t want to be captured by Wu Tong either.

But after Wu Tong said those things

they all looked at me in that way.

Linglong,

why do you care so much about what they think?

Just pretend you heard nothing.

But I clearly heard it

why do I have to pretend I didn’t hear it?

It’s something that clearly happened.

Why should I pretend that it didn’t happen?

Will you be like them,

and mock me?

When I was little,

there would be children from the village

who would mock me for being a bastard with no parents.

I can only pretend I couldn’t hear them because

if I cared about them

they would mock at me more.

We cannot stop the speech of those gossipers.

But we can choose to ignore them.

Linglong

you didn’t do anything wrong.

You have a clear conscience.

Don’t worry,

I will be by your side.

Everything will pass

ok?

Come back with me right away.

Come back with me right away!

Come back with me right away!

You will always belong to me.

You can’t escape me.

No…No…No!

About 2 decades ago,

there was a Lize Palace disciple

who was in a romantic relationship with the daughter of the old chief the Dianjing Valley.

They could have lived happily together.

They also have a child together.

Chief.…

Master never listen to me.

I can only come to beg you.

Please if you’re watching over us in Heaven protect Master

so that he will learn from your lesson sooner

and take the pill of forgetting love.

Forget about that Chu Xuanji.

Please can you help the demon clan to return to glory

and kill all those mortals?

What Dianjing Valley, Fuyu Island and Shaoyang Sect?

Shouldn’t leave any of them alive!

They should all be killed.

Little Yinhua.

What nonsense are you saying here?

Get out.

I’ll leave then.

Chief.

You already have the gold feather seal.

What are you doing here?

You don’t need to worry.

You and I are from the same clan.

It is also my wish for the red-golden bird clan to have power and status too.

Actually we can work together.

You’re someone who can kill our own clansman.

How can you have the face to talk about working with me?

The people I killed were useless.

But you’re different.

Once you master your powers as a 12-feathers red-golden bird

I am sure you will immediately become one of the most powerful demons in the world.

You want to borrow my power?

Then you have to show me some sincerity.

Why don’t you tell me,

what you plan to do.

What I plan to do...

is of course something great

that will change the lives of us demons.

Do you know,

what the identity of the red-golden birds were 1000 years ago?

We were the personal guards of the King of the Asuras at the Devil’s Capital.

1000 years ago, we were the first platoon to reach the Heavenly river with the Mosha Star!

The red-golden birds back then had such high status!

Unlike now.

We have to cower in the Mortal Realms, having to wear a mask all day

and forced to seal our demonic power!

We want to revive the Mosha Star,

and rule over the Three Realms!

And then

we can do as we wish in the Three Realms.

Every being will be forced to revere and worship us!

The Mosha Star has died long ago.

That’s just a fanciful dream of yours right?

You are so close to the Shaoyang Sect,

surely you know right?

The stellar soul of the Mosha Star

is sealed in the Crystal Lamp within the Shaoyang secret realm.

As long as we save Wu Zhiqi,

and use the Juntian Cehai he has to open the Crystal Lamp,

we can revive the Mosha Star.

We can finally settle the humiliation of the

1000 years of humiliation we suffered.

As that is so,

there is one thing I haven’t been able to understand.

What has it got to do with Xuanji?

Why do you have to attack her all the time?

I have told you enough for today.

Why don’t you show me your sincerity,

and then I tell you?

What do you want me to do then?

♪ There are so many sources of joy in the world ♪
