[Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 38]

Emperor of the Sea.

It's late. Why aren't you asleep yet?

I've bothered the Quanxian during this time.

It's all thanks to you that my body is able to recover.

I'd like to ask you about something.

Go ahead.

I know I've forgotten some things.

But these things should be related to you.

Sister Hong Yuan and His Highness the Crown Prince both hesitate in telling me.

So I can only come and ask you.

Did something happen to me?

Also, does this pearl have something to do with you?

About those things that you can't remember, does it bother you?

I've been trying hard to reassemble those scattered memories in my head.

But no matter what, I really can't remember.

Even if I were to tell you,

it would only just be a story.

Why obsess over it?

Perhaps... these memories are very important to me.

Are they not important?

As long as you are alive,

that's more important than anything else.

I plan on leaving the Quanxian camp tomorrow.

I'll take good care of Na Sheng at the cabin until Senior Brother gets back from Taoyuan Province.

If you need anything...

Come find me if you need anything.

♫ I once walked over waves to borrow a bit of starlight ♫

♫ Yet, no matter what I do, I cannot see you clearly ♫

I don't have the power to protect you anymore.

I don't want you to be in danger because of me again.

As long as you are alive, that's good.

It is fine if you can't remember me.

You being alive is more important than anything else.

♫ So let love be silent ♫

♫ Help each other expand our horizons ♫

Why does he look so sad?

How am I supposed to regain my memories?

Emperor of the Sea.

Master.

Bai Ying has forgotten her memories of me.

Is this what happens when you

force open the five rhythms and six senses?

Bai Ying and I...

are not destined to be together.

She removed the dragon deity's seal for me,

but I'm unable to bear the power of the dragon deity.

I saved her life,

but she has forgotten our love.

You've already done your best, don't blame yourself.

Master, I've decided to practice the Splitting Skill again

to fight against Zhi Zhe.

Absolutely not. The Splitting Technique's backlash is worse than that of the Mirror Technique.

I know, aside from the Splitting Technique,

there is no other way to defeat Zhi Zhe.

If there was another way to obtain the power of the dragon deity,

I wouldn't take the risk to practice the Splitting Skill.

Master, when it comes to this matter,

I don't want anyone else to know.

Sometimes I constantly wonder...

if the dragon deity doesn't think I'm the real Emperor of the Sea.

The dragon deity seems to have something else in store.

By the way, a mysterious power summoned me with ice crystals

a few days ago.

Summoned you?

They seemed to also have the blood of the Emperor of the Sea.

The blood of the Emperor of the Sea?

Ever since the dragon deity's seal was removed,

everything seems to have gotten more chaotic.

Perhaps we'll find a way to obtain the power of the dragon deity

if we put the chaos in order.

By the way, I saw someone enter the ice chamber today.

I originally thought it was you,

but I didn't see anyone when I went inside.

Who on earth could it be?

Na Sheng...

Yan Xi!

Yan Xi, you're awake!

That's great, that's great! You are finally awake.

You scared me. I thought I was never going to see you again.

Na Sheng.

You're crushing me.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just too excited. I didn't hurt you, did I?

Did you suffer a lot in prison?

It's all my fault, because of me.

I shouldn't have let you come back alone. I caused you to suffer so much.

I'm glad you are okay now.

If... If Ning Liang's spirit could see you from Heaven,

see that you're awake,

she would definitely be happy.

Yan Xi, don't get up yet.

Zhi Xiu said that you needed to rest.

Have some medicine first.

I can drink it on my own.

Your body is still really weak after waking up. Let me.

What are you looking at?

It's nothing.

Your body is still weak after waking up.

I'll be here with you.

Here, I'll wipe it.

Young Master, your complexion has been getting worse the past couple of days.

Do you want me to take a look?

I'm fine.

There's one more thing I don't understand.

Since you've already removed the dragon deity's seal

and obtained the power of the dragon deity, why are there still backlashes?

I'm just not feeling too well. I'll be fine after resting for a few days.

Young Master, put your health first

no matter what happens.

If there is anything that needs to be repaired,

I'm at your disposal.

Thank you, Zhi Xiu.

Brother Ice Cube. Brother Ice Cube.

- Na Sheng. - What are you looking at?

- Why are you still here? - I'm going back to the log cabin with Sister Bai Ying soon.

Are you going to see us off?

There should be people to escort you.

Be careful on the road.

Master.

What happened? Why are you so weak?

My body's been feeling worse the past few days.

Is it because you're practicing the Splitting Technique?

Emperor of the Sea.

Master, I know what you are going to say.

There's something I want to ask you.

You've guarded Quanxian for thousands of years. I trust that you won't lie to me.

I want to know if I'm actually the Emperor of the Sea or not.

Of course, you are. You have the mark of the dragon deity on your back

and are able to summon me through ice crystals. You are the Emperor of the Sea.

Perhaps... I'm not the one

that the dragon deity is looking for.

7,000 years ago, I kept the blood of the Emperor of the Sea in a pearl.

Yuji swallowed it and gave birth to you.

You have the blood of the Emperor of the Sea running through you.

But my brother, Su Nuo, was born at the same time.

Su Nuo has already passed away.

What if he's still alive?

Perhaps he can bear the power of the dragon deity.

Perhaps he's the actual Emperor of the Sea.

Perhaps... the dragon deity is testing you.

You shouldn't have doubts about your identity.

Master,

it's my abilities that I doubt.

If I'm unable to take the Quanxian back to Biluo Sea,

how can I face everyone?

The poison has already reached Su Mo's body.

Now is the time to kill him.

Young Master.

Elder Quan, why are you asking for me?

It's been quite some time since you've returned from the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

We successfully rescued the Commissioner of the Left and Princess Bai has left after recovering from her injuries.

I wanted to ask what your plans are for attacking Cangliu and returning to Biluo Sea.

Quanxian's people are all looking forward to it.

Young Master,

have you encountered some difficulties?

Besides the Five Masters of Cangliu, the real one in charge of Cangliu,

is the one at the top of Jing Pagoda, Zhi Zhe.

Are you still unable to take down Zhi Zhe

even after gaining the power of the dragon deity?

Our attack on Zhi Zhe can't be rushed.

I don't want to see any more injuries and deaths of the Quanxian people.

Yes, Young Master.

However, Quanxian's generals and soldiers aren't afraid of sacrificing themselves.

After all, we've waited 7,000 years to return to the Biluo Sea.

We're finally seeing hope.

Young Master, are you heading out?

Do you need something from me?

How have you been feeling the past couple of days?

I've been feeling a lot better. You don't have to worry about me.

I should still check you out.

There's no need.

I feel that my health has almost completely recovered.

You don't have to worry.

Is there anything else?

That's all then.

By the way, Princess Bai left so suddenly the other day.

I wasn't able to give her the pill I refined for her.

I just finished it today and am about to have it delivered to the cabin for her.

Is there anything you want me to help you say to her?

Just leave the pill to me.

What are you doing here?

I came to deliver your medicine.

Have you gotten accustomed to staying here?

Yes.

By the way, did you give me this Sunlight Blocking Pearl?

That's right.

It really was you?

Then what will happen if I tap on it three times?

I'll appear in front of you.

Is that why you're here?

This medicine is for you.

Did you also give me pills before?

Don't force yourself if you can't remember the past.

I'll get going.

A'Ying.

Your Highness.

What's the matter? Are you waiting for someone?

No.

You're disappointed to see me here instead, right?

Your Highness.

I'm just kidding. Where's Na Sheng?

She hasn't caused you any trouble lately, has she?

She said she was going to catch rabbits. She should be back soon.

Su Mo gave me this Sunlight Blocking Pearl.

You... know about everything?

About the Sunlight Blocking Peal and about him.

Do you know about everything?

Did he tell you?

He told me...

not to force myself if I can't remember.

I promised him.

That's not what you want though, right?

Otherwise, why would you be so upset?

I originally thought I still had a small chance.

Perhaps I'm just lying to myself.

Because even if you don't remember what happened in the past,

your feelings towards me won't change.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you. I—

You don't have to say sorry and you haven't hurt me. You've never owed me anything.

A'Ying, if you asked me whether I hope you'd remember your past with him,

I would say, I hope so. Because only after remembering it all

will you be complete.

A'Ying, you forgot...

that you're deeply in love with Su Mo.

[Cangliu - Imperial Prison]

Open the door.

Yu Huan. General.

Why are you acting like a stray dog now?

You're at your last breath.

Do you like my cell?

I even have some more new and exciting things. Do you want try them out?

Staying silent...

I have plenty of ways to get you to talk. We'll see how long you can stay silent!

I'm only here...

because I failed my mission at the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

As a soldier, I deserve to be punished.

It's not because I'm scared of you.

Typical of our General Yu Huan. How dauntless.

What are you smiling about?

You're just a mere blacksmith,

who devised some unheard of cruelty,

and you want to do as you please in this prison?

You're just one of Master Peng's dogs.

If I'm one of Master Peng's dogs,

then you, General Yu Huan,

are inferior to a dog.

You're not even worthy of being one of Master Peng's dogs anymore.

How do you think your saintess sister would feel

seeing you suffer like this?

Is she willing to do anything just to save you?

The smell her body gives off…

It's me!

Me, me, me... It's me.

Why did you come here?

I should be the one asking you this.

I came to save you. What are you doing here?

Save me?

You were going to break into prison?

I'm not that stupid. I have a token.

How could you do this?

I didn't get to save you anyway.

How did you get out?

Fei Lian, do me a favor.

I came to help you, didn't I?

Find me a temporary place to stay.

Sure, but you have to come with me.

Thank you.

Elder Quan.

Commissioner of the Left, why have you come out?

- Have you fully recovered? - Yes.

Elder, why do you have a long face?

What happened?

Commissioner of the Left,

there are some things I've thought about for a while

and find a bit strange.

What's wrong?

I suspect that Young Master is hiding something from us.

What is it?

I suspect...

Young Master hasn't actually gotten the power of the dragon deity.

After Young Master broke the dragon deity's seal

and got the power of the dragon deity,

he should've led an attack on Cangliu

and taken us back to Biluo Sea.

But Young Master

not only hasn't done anything yet,

his body...

is increasingly getting weaker as well.

If Young Master really didn't get the power of the dragon deity,

he shouldn't have hidden it from us.

But now he doesn't talk about it at all.

Does he have some sort of secret or something?

It has to do with the everyone's safety in Quanxian.

If Young Master really didn't get the power of the dragon deity,

does it mean...

he's actually not the Emperor of the Sea?

He's not the Emperor of the Sea?

Th-Then we...

No, I need to ask and have him clarify.

Hold on, Elder.

Splitting Technique.

You didn't expect it, did you?

You thought you could beat me with the Splitting Technique.

The poison in your body was designed specifically for the Splitting Technique.

The more you use it, the more painful it gets.

Who are you?

Lock him up. Lock him up inside!

Get in there!

Lock the doors. Lock them.

I can't cry.

Su Nuo, I'm here to save you.

I can't cry. You've said before that we can't shed tears easily.

I did it.

Did someone bully you?

I must become stronger than others,

so that nobody can bully me!

I'll do it one day.

Who do you think I am?

You're Su Nuo?

I'm surprised that you still remember the name Su Nuo.

You didn't die?

Why didn't I die?

Why do I want to kill you?

We have the same mother,

but we had totally different experiences.

If I could,

I would rather not be Su Nuo.

As your younger brother,

I've only ever lived with pain!

To secure your throne as the Emperor of the Sea,

you've practiced the Mirror and Splitting Techniques

and made me suffer from the pain when it backlashes!

Let me ask you.

Is that really fair to me?

How is that possible?

Clearly I had backlash as well.

When you have backlash,

I also suffer from pain!

Isn't it funny?

I've never wished for any kind of power,

but I have to bear the pain from your backlash!

Why?

Back then I saved you from the nine-headed bird.

Why is this the consequence that I have to endure!

Then what should I do...

to relieve your pain?

I want you to give up on the Mirror and Splitting Techniques

or... die.

Then I won't have to suffer anymore.

You came here...

because you wanted me dead?

Of course.

Did you think I came to be reunited with you?

What exactly do you want?

I want all of your power.

I want you to die right now.

You've paid back...

what you owe me.

Young Master, are you here?

- Young Master. - What is going on?

I have a question for you.

You came at the right time.

An assassin wanted to kill me just now.

But I've already subdued him.

Who was it? How did he get into the Great Camp?

My half-brother who has the same mother, Su Nuo.

Why does he want to kill you, Young Master?

Because of hatred.

Young Master, what should we do about him?

Ignore him for now.

He won't come to for a while.

Summon everyone to the council chamber for me.

Young Master, do you have an announcement to make?

Why are you asking so many questions?

Hurry and go take care of it.

- Yes. - Yes.

Master.

Why am I feeling so uneasy?

Is Su Mo in trouble?

Bai Ying?

No response.

Should I go look for him?

Emperor of the Sea.

Master, where am I?

You were attacked by Su Nuo.

I can only protect you here.

Master, I must get out of here.

I'm worried about Su Nuo hurting Quanxian.

I have to stop him.

Emperor of the Sea, the poison is running deep in your spiritual consciousness.

It could be fatal to forcibly wake up.

I have to get out of here to stop him no matter what.

I've thought it through.

All right.

I'll get you out.

However, please remember that you're the Emperor of the Sea.

You have to help the Quanxian return to Biluo Sea no matter what.

Do not hesitate. Do not be scared.

Thank you, Master.

I'll give you the power

to get you out of here.

Why can't I summon Master?

Master, what happened to you?

Young Master.

You've gathered us here, what important announcement do you have to make?

Gather all the men of the Quanxian army.

- We're setting out immediately to attack Cangliu. - What?

Young Master, immediately? Do you have a plan of attack?

How are we going to attack them?

Don't you all want to return to Biluo Sea?

How are we going to return, if we don't attack Cangliu?

But I'm afraid we won't have a chance for victory if we attack without a plan.

Don't you all trust me?

Of course, we trust you.

But compared to the Cangliu army, our Quanxian army

doesn't have an advantage.

You all say you want to return to Biluo Sea,

but not a single one of you is willing to make an effort.

Fine. From now on,

we won't be returning to Biluo Sea anymore.

Young Master, what's going on with you today?

Why are you suddenly making such a big decision?

Why don't we discuss this some more?

That's right, Young Master.

Let's discuss this some more.

What is there to discuss!

I'm the Emperor of the Sea, what I say counts.

Su Nuo!

Stop messing around, Su Nuo.

What is this nonsense? Arrest him!

W-Why are there two Emperors of the Sea?

- What on earth is going on? - That's his transformation magic.

Quick! Take him down!

Not so fast. Before we get to the truth,

Quanxian can't be at odds with each other.

Isn't that the big brother we healed?

Why is he fighting with the Emperor of the Sea?

You recovered sooner than I thought you would.

Why are you doing this?

Haven't you been longing to take Quanxian back to Biluo Sea?

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Su Nuo, who's control are you under?

Control? No one can control me.

You used to be good-natured.

Stop persisting in going down this wrong path.

Come back to Biluo Sea with me.

From the moment you abandoned me,

I've had nothing to do with Quanxian.

Zhi Zhe was the one who saved me.

Zhi Zhe, I'm the one you are after.

Leave my brother alone!

Su Nuo, if you want to become the Emperor of the Sea,

kill him...

Don't listen to him. Don't let him control you.

Only when you have absolute power

can you control your own destiny.

A'Nuo!

Only I can help you

become the new Emperor of the Sea.

Useless thing!

A'Nuo!

Why is Young Master on fire?

Is Young Master going to be okay?

What's happening to Young Master?

His backlash has dissipated.

It's the past life.

Young Master is inheriting the memories of all the past Emperors of the Sea

with the help of the dragon deity.

Young Master will be able to gain the power of the dragon deity.

Young Master is gaining the power of the dragon deity!

We can finally return home!

How wonderful!

How great!

We can go home! That's great!

Young Master has inherited the power of the dragon deity

and is merging with the Emperor of the Sea.

- Greetings Emperor of the Sea. - Greetings Emperor of the Sea

Seeing you safe and sound,

I'm relieved.

Rise then.

- Congratulations, Emperor of the Sea! - Congratulations, My Lord!

Congratulations on gaining the power of the dragon deity.

Is this the price I have to pay for gaining the power?

To lose my brother and to lose you?

Why did you bring me to your room?

The most dangerous place is the safest.

No one will suspect that you're hiding here.

They're looking for you everywhere out there. Where can you hide?

I'll only get you in trouble by being here.

Master Lang won't let you off if he finds out.

Get me in trouble Yu Huan?

Is this the first time you've gotten me in trouble?

You must listen to me this time.
