~ Episode 35 ~

What is this?

Older Sis, are you unable to make a decision? Then let Heaven decide for you.

What do you mean?

If you guessed it right,

then choose Older Bro Ying Jun. Go travel the seas with him and live a comfortable life.

If you guessed it wrong, then give up on the obsession in your heart.

Start all over and choose Yuan Shuai.

Isn't that such child's play?

Other than living and dying, all other things in life are just small things.

There are thousands of men that are suitable with you in this world. It's not just limited to these two men in front of you.

Just randomly choose one.

I can't. If it can really be done so casually,

how come I have to not eat and sleep and say these things to you?

Older Sis, stop trying to force me.

I know that you surely have an answer in your heart already.

You are even making it difficult for me.

I'm so tired! I'm so tired!

Okay already. Stop pretending, alright?

Older Sister, look how pretty you are when you smile.

I know that you have grudges against Older Bro Ying Jun.

You waited for him for five years.

Only you know the suffering you went through within those years.

I also know that you have special feelings towards Yuan Shuai not only because of the sauce.

And also, Yuan Shuai is sincere towards older sister.

We all can see that.

My heart is so confused.

Time is up! Just choose. Big or small?

Older Sister, don't worry. You don't need to tell me.

It's enough that you have an answer in your heart.

Hurry and choose.

Open it.

Xiao Mei.

This Xiao Mei...

At this time in the afternoon, you should have some snacks.

Xiao Cai, these are liquor filled thumb cookies I made especially for you.

Give them a try.

I am not eating!

Xiao Cai, eat some.

Is there any end to you two?! I don't want to eat.

Eating at this time isn't for hunger.

It's a tea time for enjoyment.

I've especially added Java spices which are very flavorful.

Don't you know that Xiao Cai hates eating things with price but without content the most?

Liquor filled thumb cookies are your favorite. Here.

Xiao Cai, such strong food doesn't suit you. Look at this.

Are you two crazy?

If you want to eat, you two eat them.

- I'm leaving. - Don't.

I already told you. Eating at this time is just for show.

What's important is one's mood.

If you're unhappy, no matter how delicious and rare the food you eat, it's of no use.

This is a basic understanding of a chef towards the relationship between humans and food.

You know that, right?

Xiao Cai,

this... just eat it when you want to.

I won't force you.

Come.

You can choose not to eat these but we do have to talk, right?

You can go now.

Why are you still here?

I take pleasure to stand here.

Xiao Cai,

I know that you need time.

After all, you still bear grudges towards me.

Don't worry. Just tell them all to me.

I can take it.

We still have a long way to go together.

I don't want a small misunderstanding to eventually lead to a major problem.

That way, I won't be able to take it.

In these five years of traveling, the thing that I looked forward to the most was the day that I would see you again.

Right now, I have succeeded.

I can protect you now.

You cannot reject me.

Hey! Can you not try to force Xiao Cai?

Shut up!

Sorry. Can you give us some quiet space?

Ying Jun, let's just talk some other day.

Xiao Cai!

When I was about the same age as you,

I did have similar thoughts as you.

What thoughts?

To make a huge sky wing that could bring me up to the sky.

Leave the Palace. Leave the Department of Amusement.

Leisurely and carefree. Nothing binding me.

Are you saying that you are from the Department of Amusement?

That's right.

I was born and grew up in the Department of Amusement.

My job everyday was to create strange and fun things for the Emperor.

Forget it. You must be just joking with me.

How could a person from the Department of Amusement end up here in Pirate Bay?

Why would I joke with you?

I'm really from the Department of Amusement, and I'm even their head.

My work is to create machinery toys for the Emperor everyday.

You don't believe me.

Just the sky wing in your book, I actually made a model of it already.

Really?

Can it fly?

Once I've resolved the issue of dynamics, I believe that it'll be able to fly.

Really? That great?

Older Brother Bai Ze, then you must take me to see a flying sky wing.

Okay. I'll definitely take you to see it.

Sorry, Older Brother Bai Ze.

What is it?

I lied to you.

Actually, my parents are still alive.

I just fought with them.

They don't agree with my ideas at all.

They just want me locked up in our house.

I can't take it so I ran away from home.

I initially secretly got on a ship because I wanted to go to the capital.

But instead, I ended up here in Pirate Bay

and even got accepted as a goddaughter by a dog trafficker.

When I was little, I kept hoping that I could have a father.

When you are successful, he can be by your side.

When you fail, he can bring you a bowl of hot noodles

and stay by your side to console you.

I don't know. I am just randomly saying things.

But I feel that your parents must be looking everywhere for you now.

Actually, if you think about it, people with our age are all the same.

We give all our patience to strangers

while we leave our family with our most impatient and worst attitude.

Actually, let me tell you.

Parents will never blame their children.

As long as you want to go back,

they will open the door anytime to warmly welcome you.

I'll immediately go back tomorrow and try to convince them

to let me go to the capital to learn how to make a sky wing.

Older Brother Bai Ze, my dream can come true already.

Your ideas are wonderful but you must go fulfill them.

Look there.

Look there.

A Ji Ya!

Where does this flirtatious lady come from? And quite a pretty one, too.

But you all have to die.

Godfather! Godfather, are you alright?

- Spare me. - A Ji Ya, it's really you.

- Older Sister, I beg you to let him go. - Have mercy.

Godfather did save me once.

Older Brother Bai Ze, beg this Older Sister to let him go.

Hurry and leave!

Thank you.

A Ji Ya, how did you escape?

I have always been worried about you and kept looking for you.

Why do you worry about me?

I must have disturbed your romantic moment.

No, I...

Bai Ze, don't forget. We aren't friends anymore.

Older Sister, you misunderstood.

There's nothing going on between Older Brother Bai Ze and me.

Whatever your relationship is has nothing to do with me.

Bai Ze, this is my last time saving you.

From now on, we don't have any connections.

A Ji Ya, let me explain.

Older Brother Bai Ze.

A Ji Ya! A Ji Ya!

A Ji Ya...

Older Brother Bai Ze, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Don't panic.

Older Sister A Ji Ya must have misunderstood us.

Just rest here first.

I'll go chase her back.

Be careful.

Is this your friend?

Looks like she has some discontentment towards you.

Older Sister A Ji Ya!

Older Sister A Ji Ya!

Older Sister A Ji Ya, you misunderstood.

Nothing is going on between Older Brother Bai Ze and me.

It's not like what you saw.

Don't explain anymore. I already saw it.

Hey, I... Older Sister, listen to me explain.

Miss!

What's wrong with you? Miss!

- A Ji Ya. A Ji Ya. - Miss...

Xiao Si! Xiao Si!

Xiao Si!

What's wrong with her?

Who did this?

I'll send you all now to your death!

Thank you for saving us.

That's right, A Ji Ya. It's all thanks to you.

Xiao Si! Xiao Si!

Why must you do this?

Not me.

Let me explain.

What do you mean not you?

What is there to explain?!

Even a young lady who doesn't know how to protect herself, you didn't spare.

Other than hatred, what else is in your heart?!

Why didn't you just kill me?

Aren't you going to kill me?!

Kill me!

What are you doing?!

She's just how old?!

A Ji Ya!

Xiao Si.

Xiao Si...

Xiao Si.

A Ji Ya killed Xiao Si.

It's not A Ji Ya who did it.

Look at her sword, there's no blood.

I saw A Ji Ya earlier chasing the dog trafficker.

It was the dog trafficker who did it.

It's not me. Let me explain.

What do you mean not you?

What do you want to explain?!

Even a young lady who doesn't know how to protect herself, you didn't spare.

Kill me!

Why don't you kill me?!

Aren't you going to kill me?!

Other than hatred, what else is in your heart?! Ha?!

A Ji Ya!

I blamed A Ji Ya wrongly...

A Ji Ya!

A Ji Ya!

I blamed you wrongly.

I blamed you wrongly!

Mr. Gongsun, really thank you.

Really so thankful. So thankful.

Follow the prescription I gave and take the medicines on time. Please.

You take care. You take care.

Mr. Gongsun, City Leader is asking for you.

Okay. I get it.

I'll take my medicine bag home and then will immediately go there.

Mister, City Leader wants to see you now.

Lead the way.

How was it? Is there any news about Zi Su?

I have found information about it.

It was indeed the men of Lord Xiu Fu that brought a woman into the palace.

Based on the description, I think she must be Zi Su.

- But I heard that Ms. Zi Su was caught in Mr. Gongsun's 100 Herb Shop. - Lord Xiu Fu?

Mr. Gongsun?

His name is Gongsun Miao Quan, who is a well-loved miracle doctor by the underground city citizens.

I think I know it.

Before it was Mr. Gongsun who secretly saved her while she was in Parasoltree Inn.

Lan Ling,

is there a possibility to sneak into Lord Xiu Fu's palace?

Let me in!

Without City Leader's instructions, no one is allowed in.

I just want to say a few words with her. Why can't I?

Stop making it difficult with us.

If you all make me unhappy,

don't think of saving your life.

Are you the princess of the land above?

Yes.

Then let me ask you a few questions.

Don't disturb me. I don't want to talk right now.

Let me ask you. Can the sun talk?

What are you laughing at?

It was my first time to hear someone asking me if the sun can talk.

If you continue laughing, I'll let my father kill you!

Oh, fine, fine. I won't laugh anymore.

What does the sun look like?

Have you never seen the sun?

Never.

I've never seen the sun,

seen colorful flowers or heard birds chirping.

I only saw these in the books.

I do want to tell you about the outside world,

but I'm so hungry right now.

I'm so hungry that I have no energy to talk.

Hey, you go and bring her some food.

Yes.

Let's continue chatting.

Hey, Teacher, where are you going?

I am going out for consults.

Teacher, there's something I want to tell you.

Let's talk once I return.

- Go inside and get me some medicinal herbs. - Hey,

Teacher!

What medicinal herbs?

Go in. The servants are currently preparing them.

- Go now. - Hey...

Teacher!

Who really are you?

Qian Zhen, why are you blocking my path?

Let me ask you again.

Who really are you?!

What? Don't you even know your Teacher now?

Don't push me to use force.

Senior Brother really has good eyesight.

Pi Wu, it's you.

Long time no see.

Why must you disguise yourself as Teacher?

Where is he now?

And also, where is Zi Su?

Senior Brother, we haven't seen each other for so long.

Why must you be this overbearing on our first meeting after so long?

Let me ask you again! Where is Teacher now?!

Teacher is doing well.

It's just that he cannot move around freely right now.

Teacher was so good to you. Why must you treat him like this?!

What right do you have to lecture me?

Didn't you disobey old man's wishes and became an assassin, also?

You!

Senior Brother, you must think about it well.

Those who suit their actions to the time are wise.

I don't want to make things difficult for you.

Very simple. If you want to save that old man, then bring a prescription as an exchange.

Put this one here. Here.

- Light them all up. - Yes.

Also here.

Light these all up.

Still not sleeping?

What are you doing?

I want to try how it feels to bask in the sun.

Oh...

Xiu Xiu,

I'll soon be able to bring you above ground to bask under a real sun.

Oh...

Aren't you happy?

You already have been saying these words for so long.

You have never fulfilled them even once.

Xiu Xiu, be good.

My words this time will surely become true.

Teacher!

Teacher, I have let you wait.

I'll take you out right now.

Ms. Zi Su has been locked up by them in some other place.

Hurry and go save her.

Teacher, let's go first.

No. Wait.

What is it?

No. I must go back and see Lord Xiu Fu.

Teacher, I just got you out. Why must you go back again?

Aren't you just walking back to their trap?

Don't worry. They won't do anything against me.

What they want is the prescription.

Then fine, Teacher. Let me accompany you back.

Okay. Let's go.

What do all of you do for a living?

Only one person broke into a jail and was able to rescue a prisoner successfully.

It was my responsibility.

I beg City Leader to have mercy.

The prisoner has already escaped.

What's the use of punishing you now?!

All of you, get out!

Yes.

Informing City Leader, the miracle doctor is here.

City Leader.

Miracle doctor is indeed not an ordinary human.

A lot of people who escaped from prison will surely go as far away from here as possible.

You even walked back to trap yourself.

Since I chose to come,

I surely can leave unharmed.

Don't think that because you saved Xiu Xiu's life in the past,

your life can be pardoned forever.

I came here just to bring you one advice.

Say it.

In this world, there'll never be a drug that can cure everything.

Just give up on this.

You already told me that more than a hundred times.

I will also tell you again that I don't believe it.

Tell me for what condition do you really want before you can tell me the prescription?

Don't you want the citizens of Yongzhou to be able to live upright and dignified?

Being able to be open and live aboveboard on land?

I want to. I want it more than you.

But... we cannot let the misery and suffering of other people be the price for it.

Even if there is really such a magical drug, I also won't give it to you.

Twenty some years ago, it was my men who forcefully brought you here to treat me.

I never thought that you eventually would willingly stay behind.

Since our clan escaped into this underground world

just to escape the crime of rebellion.

Because of being unable to bask in the sun,

most citizens in this city can only live at most thirty years or more.

But thanks to your medical skills and medicines,

having 60- to 70-year-old men around is not some rare thing anymore.

You are our Yongzhou's great benefactor.

Giving medicines to save people is a doctor's duty to begin with.

City Leader, you are over praising me.

Anyway, with you around, I'm at ease.

After I leave, you must pacify the citizens

and not let them get involved in any slaughter again.

City Leader, don't worry. No matter who the next City Leader is,

I will surely abide by my promise.

Although old City Leader has been dead for so many years,

I won't break my promise.

What really are you persistent about?

Do you really think that doing that is for the good of the Yongzhou citizens?

I have in my heart not only the citizens of the underground city,

but the whole citizens of the world.

But the citizens of Yongzhou city have been living like some dirty rats.

What is the point to keep living like this?

That is because you feel like you are like a rat.

If your aim is to let all Yongzhou people be able to live on land,

I am willing to help you.

But you are not.

Miracle doctor,

if it is just simply letting our citizens go back up to live above land,

but we still have to keep hiding to hide our true identity,

what is the difference of that with the rats living above?

Our ancestors weren't rebels as the government claimed.

They were real heroes.

Why can't we use this chance to announce to the whole world

that we aren't descendants of rebels but are upright and aboveboard humans?

I want to get the recognition stolen from our ancestors back.

What you are doing will only bring war and war causes bleeding.

Bleeding?

How about the blood of our ancestors?

Should the blood of our ancestors just flow like that for nothing?

Times were different so you cannot compare them.

It was exactly because today was a product of the blood of hundreds of our ancestors,

we must treasure it more.

You are not from our underground city.

You won't understand.

You are wrong.

I have long considered myself as a citizen of the underground city.

Who else is more concerned about the citizens in here than me?

Our ancestors weren't rebels unlike what the government claimed.

They were real heroes. And only by us going out

can we steal back the honor they lost!

This mistake of yours would only make the citizens of Yongzhou repeat the same fate.

The government will send armies again to pacify you.

How come I didn't even think first

and just assumed that A Ji Ya killed Xiao Si?

When I saw the tears in her eyes,

I really felt that I was so stupid.

You still have a chance to reverse everything.

Since A Ji Ya found you, it means she isn't in any danger.

You can be at ease.

No.

She would not return to find me again.

I know her personality very well.

She would never take the initiative to explain certain things.

We have gone through so many things on our journey.

She has always been like that.

I feel that it was because I was so stupid, I missed out on A Ji Ya.

I know that in her heart, she must be in very severe pain.

She probably never thought that I'd treat her like that.

My emotions got out of hand that time.

I slapped her.

I really hate myself so much.

Why don't I just go die?!

Enough already!

If you're still a man, you should go look for A Ji Ya and tell her personally.

No matter if she will forgive you or not,

these are matters that you should bravely do

and not just drink wine here.

If you are like this, then you really are a coward.

I am indeed a coward.

In the past, my father personally killed A Ji Ya's father.

Afterwards, he got involved in the rebellion of the Heavenly Strategy Envoys.

Since I was little, I grew up with people pointing at me and ridiculing me.

And right now, I am still working for the Emperor.

Saying such things as serving the government, empathizing with the citizens,

that's all a joke!

I don't even have the courage to change myself.

A Ji Ya previously asked me if I'd be willing to give up on the Magic Stars and just leave with her.

I told her that I must finish my mission before I can leave.

Right now, what Magic Stars, world...

I can't even find my own good friends.

I can't even protect the person I love.

What's the use of still talking about the world, the citizens?

Maybe I am really a coward.

Your father...

being her father's killer, is that true?

Totally true.

Let me ask you. If it was you,

if your parents were killed by my father,

yet you forgave and even saved me several times,

letting go of all hatred and grudges and became a real friend with me,

and even kept believing in me,

had always been a good friend of mine,

yet my first reaction when something happened was not to clarify the truth

but to blame you and even hit you,

think about it... if it was you... what would you do?

I would personally kill you.

That's right.

A Ji Ya didn't do that.

She just left alone hurting.

If she really killed me,

maybe I would feel much better.

I don't need to be in this much pain.

I think...

her heart has totally been shattered by me.

May I ask City Leader, if there is no prescription, can we really not proceed?

Without Gongsun Miao Quan's prescription,

the citizens of underground city will bleed to death

upon being exposed to the sun for more than one hour.

Then how about the assassins of your underground city?

How are they able to go out and fulfill their missions?

Before they leave, they will first take the medicine made by Mr. Gongsun.

Even with that, they can only stay under the sun for 7 days.

Since it's like that, what should we do then?

From the looks of it now, we can only temporarily delay things for now.

City Leader, God's army is unstoppable.

This is a rare opportunity.

Of course, I want to.

Since the day I was born here in the underground city,

I already have looked forward in leading the citizens of Yongzhou City to charge out of here,

live under the sun and to prove to them.

City Leader has always thought for the sake of the underground city citizens.

Heaven has eyes. He will surely bless City Leader in being able to fulfill your grand ambition.

Be careful!

What's wrong with you? You're hit!

You dare...

You two are something.

Really so romantic.

Hugging each other here and chatting so romantically.

Really making me so uncomfortable.

Let me tell you. Today is the day you two die.

Today, I'll take revenge for my goddaughter!

You clearly were the one who personally killed Xiao Si but say that you are seeking revenge for her.

Totally a joke!

A joke?

If not because of him taking Xiao Si away from my side,

how can I bear to kill her?

It was you who took Xiao Si away.

It was you who forced me to kill her!

Stop being unreasonable!

Regardless, it was you who killed her!

Just you like this, sneaking around people's back to attack,

you are not upright and aboveboard.

Upright and aboveboard?

I am not some hero.

What being upright and aboveboard are you talking about?

Okay. If you have the capability, then fight with me.

Ming Zhen, what's wrong with you?

I don't know.

My hand can't exert any effort.

I can't throw the dagger out.

What's wrong?

I feel dizzy.

Do you all really think I'm stupid?

Just one person carrying a rotten blade to come here and seek vengeance?

You are so naive.

I already drugged your wine.

But rest assured. It's not poison but knockout drops.

It's the knockout drops I use for catching dogs.

I just want to catch you two alive

and then slowly, slowly torture you to death.

You really are despicable!

Calling me despicable?

I'll kill you two now!

No!

Look at how you look already and you are still trying to be a hero saving the damsel in distress?

I already heard what you said earlier.

Don't you want to die? You can.

As long as you can be like a dog and crawl over here

and bow to me! Bow until I am satisfied!

I'll then satisfy you today and end your life with one stroke of my sword.

Sure. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore.

Then come kill me.

No.

But there's one thing I must tell you.

Xiao Si doesn't have any feeling of gratitude towards you at all.

In her heart, you are a very evil person.

You locked her up everyday just like a pet in a cage and didn't allow her to go out.

She hated you so much.

Do you know that her dream was to leave here and go to the capital?

But you can't do anything about it at all.

The person she hated the most in her life was you.

You're making things up!

Xiao Si said that she would be with me, would forever stay with me!

She would accompany me out in the seas and even take care of me when I grew old.

Let me tell you, those were just said by Xiao Si to survive.

Even without my appearance, she'd leave you sooner or later

because you're a bastard.

I... I'll kill you now! Do you believe me?!

Okay then, kill me.

But let Ming Zhen go.

She has nothing to do with Xiao Si.

Let her go?

Sure.

Then bow down to me.

Bow until I'm satisfied and then I'll let her go.

No.

I agree.

You can't! You can't bow to an evil person like that!

Who does he think he is?!

Bow.

Let go of me.

Bai Ze! Bai Ze!

You can't!

Hurry and bow.

You cannot bow down to him!

Bai Ze! Bai Ze!

- I beg you to let her go. - I beg you, stand up!

Bai Ze!

- Hurry and get up! Hurry and get up, Bai Ze! - Continue!

Quickly get up!

I beg you already. Quickly get up!

I can't hear it!

I beg you to let her go.

- Bai Ze... - You finally admit defeat, is that it?

- I beg you, let... - Don't bow anymore.

Don't bow down anymore.

Bai Ze, what's wrong with you?!

Wake up!

- Bai Ze! - What? Why are you not bowing anymore?

How about you bow instead, Ming Zhen?

You really are so despicable.

Let me tell you. I will not let you off.

I will not...

Get up and hit me.

Let me see how you won't let me off.

You two are so stupid!

Your bow is just a waste.

You both will still die.

Ming Zhen. Ming Zhen!
