Ancient Love Poetry

Episode 40

I’m in debt to Master Shanggu.

I’ll willing to help you

with this plan.

Over the hundreds of thousands of years,

I’ve already seen Houchi

as my own daughter.

It pains me

to see her heartbroken.

Then why didn’t you do anything

when she confined herself to the Hidden Mountain for so long?

You could’ve stopped it

but you sit back and watch

the newly-wed separated

for decades.

I accept whatever my fate is

but it’s not even 100 years.

Houchi hasn’t come back.

I can’t give up now.

No one knows

how much Qingmu has suffered better than me.

I can’t imagine how Houchi feels.

Give Qingmu back!

He’s dead.

His spiritual sense must still be intact.

I need that back.

Forget it.

The past is the past.

I understand.

I’ll also

keep everything secret.

But

Houchi is helplessly in love with Qingmu.

You can’t talk her

into giving him up.

Do you have other ideas?

Not yet.

What about that demon

you fought against in the Parasol Forest that day?

Do you know who that is?

It was Wu Huan.

I let her out of the Nether World on purpose.

Strangely,

I couldn’t detect any trace of Devilish Energy on her.

Why did Wu Huan do that?

She’s the Heavenly Empress.

We need solid proof

to call her a demon.

I don’t care

who she is.

It’s just that after my awakening,

I went to the Abyssal Ridge Swamp.

My power was weakened

to stall the Tribulation of Chaos.

We don’t know what the demons are up to,

so we must be careful.

Check everything secretly.

This time,

no accident

is allowed.

Yes.

Go back and comfort Houchi.

I hurt her feelings

when she came to see me.

She must be upset.

The future can’t be changed.

I have no choice

but to be indifferent.

From now on,

Houchi and I had better

not see each other again.

If you really care about her,

then pay more attention to her.

Better a little loss than a long sorrow.

Yes, Master.

Master.

I saw God Light flash across the Dome.

Was that God Gu Jun?

He came for his daughter Houchi.

Master, you should know

Qingmu and I also had an engagement.

Without Houchi,

we would’ve gotten married long ago.

You two had an engagement?

Yes.

Father betrothed me to him.

I let you stay at the Dome

only because you saved me.

You’d better not

transfer your affections

from Qingmu to me, too.

I didn’t mean that, Master.

You’re a god.

My feelings are insignificant.

But if you wish

to cut all ties with the Qingchi Palace,

once we get married,

Houchi will give up.

I have no feelings for you at all.

Aren’t you worried about your reputation?

I wouldn’t even dream of your love.

Marrying you

is all I can hope for.

Are you sure?

Heaven and earth can be my witnesses.

Fine. You’ll get what you wish for.

Thank you, Master.

Qingmu.

Do you regret

doing all this for me?

As long as you’re with me,

I have no regrets at all.

Let’s be an ordinary couple,

living long

and growing old together.

Qingmu.

Shanggu, come back!

Please!

I’m entrusting the Three Realms

with you.

In the next life,

I don’t want to be a god,

but to be with you.

The Three Realms live and die with you.

You cannot die!

Turns out Master Bai Jue

cares so much about Master Shanggu.

Who are you?

Chief Goddess Shanggu,

finally, you can see me.

I’ve been alone in this void for thousands of years.

You’re my first visitor.

You must be lonely.

Why do we look identical?

I wish we didn’t.

Unfortunately,

I was born

to be a container of your Spiritual Strength.

I didn’t have a choice.

A container?

What does that mean?

Since the Tribulation of Chaos,

I’ve been wandering in the void, you know?

I feel sorry for you, too.

You don’t know who you are

or why you exist.

I’m fine.

Now, you’re here with me, aren’t you?

Could you

tell me more?

What do you want to know?

Did you

see Bai Jue outside?

Him?

He’s fine,

but Qingmu is gone.

Qingmu?

I’m your surrogate

and Qingmu is Bai Jue’s.

When you woke up,

we’d disappear.

No one would remember us.

I don’t get that.

Bai Jue’s mission is to guard the Three Realms.

Why would he hurt anyone

for himself?

He just did.

I begged him

to give Qingmu back to me,

but he only saw Qingmu as dust

that he could crush or blow away easily.

Has he ever considered

my feelings?

Fate is always fair to everyone.

When it comes,

we can only accept it.

All we can do

is to ask ourselves

what choices we should make

and what our duty is.

Liar!

If our fate is to be Gods,

what about yours?

You sacrificed yourself

in face of the Tribulation of Chaos.

Was that for the greater good?

Of course.

I’m the Chief God.

Hadn’t I done that,

millions of innocent lives

would be gone

for nothing.

Then before you died,

why did you wish not to be a god again?

Chief God or not,

I’m just like an ordinary person.

I simply wish

I could be with

the love of my life.

I lost Qingmu.

Could I wish for our reunion in the next life?

Qingmu!

Qingmu!

If it were you,

would you forgive them?

Qingmu,

do you know

why I always win you by half a point?

Now,

let me show you my move.

You were an attacker

and you always placed the pieces like this.

While I’m a defender,

so I could block you.

You know

you were fearless.

You’d rush in and make a mess.

I was cautious

and thorough.

So we always

ended up in a stalemate.

But check out

this move.

I deliberately made a mistake

to lure you in.

You were eager to win

and make a clean sweep.

But I

blocked your way out

and get rid of your help.

That way,

I’d win you by exactly half a point.

I see.

That’s right.

No more no less.

Qingmu’s Tomb

Qingmu’s Tomb

Your Grace,

which one do you think

is better?

If Houchi gives birth to a baby girl,

she can wear the pink one.

I like the red one.

It’s adorable.

Keep them both then.

Sure.

Houchi grew up

with these toys.

Put them in, too.

You mean these?

Boys would love them.

Girls may not.

Her Grace

was such a tomboy when she was little.

Put these ducks and carriages in the case, too.

Girls may also like them.

I agree.

Your Grace,

you’ve been picking toys for four hours.

The case is almost filled up.

You can buy more toys

when the baby is born.

You’re right.

There’s still plenty of time.

Bring these back

to the study.

Yes.

What’s the occasion?

Your Highness, you probably haven’t heard

that Princess Jingzhao will soon be married into the Dome.

Really?

His Majesty betrothed her

to True God Bai Jue and he said yes.

Everyone in the Palace

is busy preparing for the wedding.

Enough!

You volunteer to guard the Demon Region?

Yes.

I’ve told you

Master Bai Jue had imprisoned Fengran

simply to

find the demon behind.

So

I wouldn’t blame you for letting her go.

Why are you punishing yourself?

Father,

news came in last night

about Sen Yu’s suspicious moves lately.

I’m getting worried,

so I’m going to the Demon Region soon

for the safety of the border.

How dare those demons stir up trouble again!

But with Master here,

those demons won’t be a problem.

You can leave

after your sister and Master’s wedding.

Yes.

Father,

have you found anything about

the Devilish Energy that killed the Feng Clan?

Nothing so far.

The only eyewitness Elder Danfeng

is missing.

Isn’t that my feather?

Where did you get it?

Jingjian?

Jingjian?

Father.

Are you alright?

You seem worried

and pale.

I might be sleep-deprived lately.

Father, if there’s nothing else,

I’d like to go back and rest.

Jingjian.

What’s wrong?

Nothing.

I still have work to do.

Please excuse me.

Hold on.

Do I look like a monster?

I know there are unresolved issues between us

in terms of the Twin Spear.

But that was a long time ago.

Now that we’re finally together,

why not bury the hatchet

and move on?

Mother,

just drop that caring look.

It only

freaks me out.

What are you talking about?

I’ll leave for the Demon Region

after Jingzhao’s wedding.

And

I won’t come back again.

Please don’t

betray Father’s trust again

for my sake.

Jingjian!

Jingjian!

Your Highness,

Prince Jingjian has been like that

ever since he came back from the Parasol Forest.

Did he

stumble on the secret there?

Go check it out.

I want to know

everything he did there.

Yes.

Master,

I failed in my duty.

Fengran has been back at the Qingchi Palace for days,

but there’s nothing new regarding the Parasol Forest case.

Do you...?

Demons are the key to that case.

As long as the God Realm reopens,

demons won’t be our match even with a new Devil God.

We’ve had three out of Four Weapons:

Taicang Spear, Purple Moon Whip, Twin Spear.

But there’s no trace of the Ancestral Sword.

All of you, be careful!

You’re holding the fine wine

all races made for Master and my wedding.

If it’s spilled,

I won’t be easy on you!

Focus!

No mistake is allowed.

- Yes. - Yes.

I’m getting married.

Why are you sulking?

That’s the spirit.

I didn’t teach her well.

Please forgive me.

Is it true?

Absolutely!

That river deer next door told me.

I didn’t believe him

and went uphill to ask around.

All Three Realms have known it.

They all say Master Bai Jue

and Princess Jingzhao are getting married.

How could Qingmu do that?

Even if he didn’t remember young Goddess,

how could he marry Jingzhao?

I’m going to give God Gu Jun a heads-up.

Go tell everyone in the Palace

not to say a word to young Goddess.

Got it?

Have you seen Houchi?

No.

I’ve been looking for you everywhere.

There you are.

What do you need me for?

Jingjian sent us a letter,

saying Qingmu’s tomb at the North Sea is done.

I guess you’d like to take a look.

Fengran,

Ghost Suppressing Tower is no longer in the Huajing Pond.

What about Boxuan?

Qingmu began to look for his memory

because of him.

That Tower protecting Boxuan is gone.

Maybe Qingmu has something to do with it.

No way.

Only Master, you and I have access to this place.

No one else can come in.

I’m going to the North Sea.

I’ll join you.

I can go there myself.

Houchi!

Your Highness, Fengran went to the Parasol Forest

to meet with Elder Danfeng.

Why that little bastard?

I heard her mumbling something

about “Queen of Phoenix’s daughter”

and “Abyssal Ridge Swamp”.

It was you!

You killed Queen of Phoenix!

No, I didn’t do it!

I didn’t kill her!

Queen of Phoenix’s fake spirit didn’t fool me.

When I finally tracked down

Wuxi and Feng Yan,

Feng Yan was already pregnant.

I asked you to kill them,

but unexpectedly,

you let their daughter go

behind my back!

You killed the Feng Clan!

It was you!

You should’ve been dead long ago.

Wu Huan,

once Queen of Phoenix returns,

you’ll end up in hell!

Speak!

Is Fengran

her daughter?

Wu Huan, you’ll meet your doom!

We still have plenty of

unborn phoenixes.

Once our clan is rebuilt,

you’ll be the only Chief Elder.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Fengran,

if you really are her daughter,

then you leave me no choice.

Your Grace,

Bai Jue and Jingzhao are getting married!

Those two are getting married?

Your Grace,

how could he do this to Houchi?

Fengran!

Don’t worry too much.

Houchi has left for the North Sea.

That place is almost empty.

She won’t hear anything.

Listen,

Master Bai Jue is no longer Qingmu.

Whatever happens in the Heavenly Palace has nothing to do with us.

Don’t stick your nose

into the Dome’s business.

- Yes. - Yes.

Master Bai Jue,

is this how you

force Houchi to give up?

It’s rather cruel

to her.

Don’t you find it strange

that His Grace didn’t do anything

when the Heavenly Palace

insulted Houchi like this?

Knowing how sad young Goddess is,

God Gu Jun must be sadder.

I guess he chose to do nothing

in order to

protect his daughter.

Instruction feather from the Dome.

Is Master Bai Jue

inviting us to his wedding?

I’ll go tell His Grace.

Hold on.

It’s not for him.

It’s for me.

You?

He asked to see me in the Dome

to tell me about my background.

How could he know that?

He and Jingzhao’s wedding is a day away.

He’s calling you now...

Perfect timing.

He betrayed Houchi.

His Grace might be able to suck that up,

but I can’t!

My lady,

His Grace just ordered us

to behave ourselves.

I know what I’m doing. Don’t tell him.

Heavenly Empress?

You used Bai Jue’s feather

to lure me here.

That’s right.

I faked that instruction feather.

You impersonated a god.

Aren’t you afraid Bai Jue will punish you?

Punish me?

Once you’re dead,

who’d know you were here

or punish me

for a missing person?

I’m a member of the Qingchi Palace.

You think God Gu Jun wouldn’t do anything?

What could he do?

A Fire Phoenix indeed!

When Chief God was around

and asked me to pick the Divine Beast in the Feng Clan,

you weren’t my best choice

for your humble birth.

But one thing led to another,

Chief God was in favor of you

and you entered The Pilgrimage Hall of the God Realm.

Also, your distinguished service

in the Abyssal Ridge Swamp Battle

can’t be neglected.

Our whole clan is proud of you.

Now, I’m appointing you

Leader of the Feng Clan.

Wu Huan,

are you up for it?

Leader of the Feng Clan?

I...

I’m only a fifth-level phoenix.

Am I really qualified?

Queen’s nirvana

is delayed for some reason.

Well,

everything happens

for a reason.

But remember,

no matter what happens in the future,

you must wait until the new Queen is born

and give your position back to her.

Understand?

I...

Keep this in mind

that the Queen of Phoenix is reborn

at the Fire Phoenix’s nirvana.

Only the Fire Phoenix

is our hope.

You should’ve been dead when you were born.

All these years are borrowed.

But you were still unsatisfied

and insisted on going to the Parasol Forest

to find out who you are and steal my position.

Fengran,

you only end up like this

because you want more than you should have.

It’s greed

that buries you eventually.

You were there when I was born?

I’m really a phoenix!

Who are my parents?

Why did they abandon me?

You don’t know?

Fine.

I’ll tell you everything before you die.

Your mother is Feng Yan,

a phoenix after nirvana

and the only Fire Phoenix.

But she disregarded our mission

to be a Divine Beast

and eloped with Wuxi, the founder of the Parasol Forest.

You’re their daughter,

so you’re also a Fire Phoenix

and entitled to be the Queen.

If I could be the next Queen,

why did they dump me at the Abyssal Ridge Swamp

when I was born?

I did that.

How could I allow another phoenix

to threaten my position?

So I had them stalked

and killed by Danfeng.

But little did I know

that she left you there

and spared your life.

You killed my parents!

I’ll destroy you!

Your spiritual power will be sucked dry

and made into a core

by this Blending Formation in 24 hours.

By taking it,

I’ll become the true Queen of Phoenix.

Fengran,

you’ll never be able to

get your revenge!

Today is a big day

for both me and my daughter.

Fengran is in danger!

Double Happiness

So what if he married you once?

He’s marrying me now.

Jingzhao.

Greetings, Mother.

You may leave.

- Yes. - Yes.

Is there anything you’d like to tell me?

When today is over,

you’ll become the noblest figure in all Three Realms.

Have you ever considered

what you will do

if those of the Qingchi Palace

come to sabotage your wedding?

I won, and she lost.

What else could she do?

Like she could turn the world upside down!

It’s not that simple.

Never mind.

From now on,

you can relax and be the prettiest bride.

I’ve asked Jingyang

to send a strong force to the Dome.

If Houchi breaks in to make trouble,

she won’t be able to get out.

Thank you, Mother.

Qingmu,

even to this day,

I can’t accept the fact

that you’re gone.

This is an empty tomb.

What’s the proof of death?

A few words True God said?

I don’t buy that.

Qingmu’s Tomb

Qingmu,

I’m pregnant.

You’re going to be a father.

I was

going to tell you that in person

to see how excited you’d be.

But now,

I could only imagine

your reaction.

Houchi.

Qingmu!

♪Countless twists and turns Drifting away for many times♪

♪I can’t help missing you But I can only hug your back♪

Dear Houchi,

by the time you see this image,

I must’ve been gone.

I didn’t want to leave you,

but I couldn’t do anything.

♪In the name of the world Protect a heart♪

Since we rescued Boxuan,

I’ve got others’ memories in my head.

Rescue Boxuan?

Right outside the cave in the North Sea,

how Boxuan opened the ice cave

suddenly came to me,

so I followed suit.

Qingmu?

I didn’t know what happened.

Maybe

once we found Boxuan,

he’d have all the answers.

When his ice coffin was opened,

I got shot by his spiritual sense

and had a blackout for a moment.

Qingmu?

I remember

when you suddenly called Jingyuan “Tianqi”,

I got confused.

Octagon God-trapping Formation!

Tianqi,

focus!

What did you call me?

♪To get myself♪

Since then,

Boxuan’s memories kept flooding in

even in my dreams.

♪In your heart♪

Surprisingly, some of them belong to

Master Bai Jue in the God Realm.

Houchi,

perhaps Boxuan, Master Bai Jue and I

are the same person.

Bai Jue?

I had a rough time

being planted by others’ memories.

The good news is

I saw

what a naughty and adorable girl you were.

How is that good?

You were becoming another person.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I was afraid that

♪In the name of the world♪

you’d be in fear of losing me.

I don’t know

if I’ll become someone else.

And I’m not sure

how much time I’ve got.

Maybe I’ll never change

and grow old with you.

Or maybe I’ll be gone in a second

and lose you forever.

I wish

we’d be together forever and ever.

In case we couldn’t,

I used my power

on the fireflies at the North Sea

to leave you this message.

I don’t want you

to be sad because I’m gone

or get hurt in order to find me.

♪When tears dizzy the smile♪

Houchi,

my life

may be short,

Farewell.

I’ll forever love you.

My dear!

Qingmu!

Qingmu!

Don’t go!

Don’t leave me!

Fengran!

Fengran!

Fengran!

Jingjian!

Calm down.

I’ll untie you right away.

What happened?

What is this thing?

I’ve never seen it before.

Don’t bother.

It’s your mother’s Blending Formation.

You can’t break it.

She did this to you?

She knew who you are.

So did you?

Fengran, I...

Thank you for coming

for old times’ sake.

Just leave.

I won’t.

I’ll get you out.

No one can harm you.

Not even my mother!

Go now!
