[Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 39]

Get me in trouble, Yu Huan?

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

You must listen to me this time.

I locked you up after the Stranded Dragon Abyss.

In the end, you were the one that saved me.

Now that I can't stay in Cangliu,

why are you helping me?

Do I need a reason...

to help a brother?

You'll definitely regret it.

Let's wait until the day I regret it, to worry about it.

It's not good for me to go outside while I'm here. Do me a favor.

I want to see my older sister.

General Fei Lian.

Saintess.

- What's the matter? - Yu Huan wants to see you.

Yu Huan? Where is he?

Come with me.

Why are those two...

together?

[Mastser Lang Residence - Cangliu]

It's fine. Just a trivial wound.

But, Sister,

I probably can't stay in Cangliu any longer.

What's your plan after leaving Cangliu?

The world is huge. There has to be a place for me.

I just worry about you.

After I leave, you'll be implicated in this.

A'Huan, don't worry.

I only want you to be safe and sound.

Right now,

if I don't want to be bullied, there is only one solution.

How is Lord Zhi Zhe?

It seems that he was injured that day.

Lord Zhi Zhe was injured?

Master Peng,

why did you suddenly come to my humble abode?

Master Lang,

your place...

is not some humble abode.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Is General Fei Lian

at this residence?

Fei Lian?

What do you want with Fei Lian?

I want to ask him about someone's whereabouts.

I wonder why Master Peng is looking for me.

Yu Huan and you have been good friends.

If you know Yu Huan's whereabouts, General,

please tell me.

After all...

the crime of hiding a convicted killer

will ruin more than

just General Fei Lian's reputation.

Master Peng, what do you mean by this?

I came here alone, only to hear the truth from General Fei Lian.

Then I won't hold any more doubts.

Why is Saintess Yu Zhu...

visiting your residence?

Master Peng,

you shouldn't say things without thinking.

Why would Saintess Yu Zhu be here at my place?

General.

Is it true?

Is it possible... that my eyes misled me?

It would appear that unless I invite you to inspect my room,

it would be hard to resolve your doubts. This way please, Master Peng.

Fei Lian?

My Lords, please.

Master Peng, have you seen enough?

Where is Yu Zhu?

Your room is very nice.

Master Lang, do you feel unwell?

Why is your face turning pale?

Thank you for caring about me, Master Peng.

Is there any other place that Master Peng wants to see?

No. Farewell.

Master Peng.

As soon as you arrived,

you accused Fei Lian of hiding a convicted killer.

Now that you can't find anything,

are you really going to leave just like that?

What do you want, then?

I want a meeting at the Hall of the Five Masters!

You... You're hiding people in the house.

- But I— - Do you want to destroy all of us?

You were lucky this time. If you are reckless again,

don't blame me for being harsh with you.

Also...

starting today, you are forbidden from going out.

Stay in the residence, you are not allowed anywhere else!

Uncle...

Reporting. Master Peng is here.

- You can leave. - Yes.

Yu Huan, Master Peng is here.

- Where? - The front hall.

Help me by luring him here.

Lure him here? What about you two...

It's only if he comes this way, that we'll have the chance to leave.

It's time for me to leave anyway.

Master Peng.

How did it go?

What do you think?

You didn't find Yu Huan at Fei Lian's.

I can only say that he isn't there right now.

Too bad that he wasn't caught with the goods.

Master Lang is truly a thorn in the eye.

Master Peng didn't find Yu Huan.

He didn't.

Jing City is only so big,

where can he run to?

Lord Zhi Zhe, please let Yu Huan live.

One chooses their own path.

Your Highness, the seal from the Ghost and Deity Abyss has been removed for some time now.

What will Your Highness do next?

Right now, only the seal on the top of Jing Pagoda remains.

Once that seal is removed, I can obtain the power of Heaven. However...

Your Highness, are you still worried about the six princes

turning into ash?

I'm not only worried,

but I also want to find a solution to avoid them turning into ash.

Your Highness, when Wuse City was opened 100 years ago,

the six princes were already prepared to be sacrificed.

Kongsang's 100,000 citizens who are in slumber are my people.

The six princes are also my people.

Your Highness, achievements come with a price.

But they can't be that price.

Master, I've already obtained the power of the dragon deity.

I will definitely bring you back.

Young Master.

Your health has been substaintially restored.

The dragon deity's power can indeed protect you.

The power of the dragon deity can do more than protect my health.

Does Young Master have a plan for returning to Biluo Sea?

Now that I've obtained the power of the dragon deity,

but the seal on Zhen Lan's side has not yet been removed.

Also, the matter about the six princes of Kongsang turning into ash must be resolved as soon as possible.

Since we are allied with Kongsang, we certainly can't ignore anything to do with the Land-Sea Alliance.

What is your next step then, Young Master?

When Su Nuo left, I suddenly recalled something.

If Su Nuo and I can jointly withstand the force of the backlash,

then I can also join with someone else to withstand pain and share life with.

Young Master, you and Su Nuo are two that can be combined into one

to become the complete bloodline of the emperor of the sea.

Because he and you are connected deeply,

that's why you can jointly withstand the Mirror Technique's backlash.

Actually when I was young,

I saw a technique for life and death at Kongsang's Princess Zhu Yan's palace.

[Zhu Yan's Notebook]

What do you see?

These are all Kongsang's techniques.

Some look simple, but others are really difficult.

Sister Zhu Yan, do you know all of these techniques?

Of course.

What... about this star something technique?

Why is half of the spell page missing?

This is a technique that can reverse life. It can't be used randomly.

- Then you don't know how to use it. - You...

It's fine not to know about these kinds of techniques.

Even though the Sea Oath of the Star Soul can reverse life and death,

but it's very dangerous and comes with a heavy price. It's like giving your life to another person.

I hope I'll never have to use this technique.

We must always stay safe and happy

and never use these kinds of scary techniques.

Right. Little Su Mo will always be safe and happy.

This kind of technique that can reverse life and death

will usually cost the user a great portion of his spirit consciousness.

Young Master, please reconsider this.

What exactly is that spell?

He and I already knew each other 100 years ago.

Why would I cry? What did we experience together exactly?

Sister Bai Ying.

Na Sheng.

Sister Bai Ying, are you unhappy?

It's nothing.

Are you still upset about Brother Ice Cube?

Ever since I came to Yuhuang, I've experienced a lot already.

Brother Ice Cube will solve all problems no matter what. Don't worry too much.

Oh right, Na Sheng. How did you meet the Emperor of the Sea?

He saved us in Tianque. No, it's more accurate to say that he was helping you.

You two clearly knew each other at that time, but you ignored him.

No, no, I shouldn't have said so much about it.

If Brother Ice Cube finds out, he'll definitely scold me again.

Why can't you tell me?

He said it's not good to let you know about some things.

Sister Bai Ying, I'm going to go look for Yan Xi.

After all that has happened, I don't know how he is doing.

All right. Go ahead.

I'm going then.

Close the net?

Yan Xi!

What's the matter?

- It's nothing. - I've heard all about it from Sister Bai Ying.

After something that big happened, are you all right?

Don't worry too much about Brother Ice Cube. He'll recover.

Na Sheng.

Are you really not going to Jing City with me?

I'll go, but not right now.

Are you feeling better?

Why did you come that day?

I hit the Sunlight Blocking Pearl three times, but you didn't appear.

I was worried that you were in trouble.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Na Sheng is in danger. Hurry, let's go.

Na Sheng. Na Sheng!

Is it Cangliu?

I can't be certain. Let's take them back first.

Young Master.

What happened?

- Your Highness. - A'Ying.

Why are you here?

The High Priest saw that Na Sheng was in danger through the water mirror, so I rushed over here.

What happened?

We were attacked by a spirit bird.

It was fast and really strong.

We couldn't defend against it, so we were knocked unconscious.

Then, did you see the spirit bird?

I didn't see it clearly.

Are you worried that the spirit bird is Bai Lin?

Xi Jing isn't here. It's too dangerous for you to protect Na Sheng by yourself. I'll stay here with you.

Young Master, I should stay here to protect Na Sheng.

No, no! There's no need.

I-I mean, with Sister Bai Ying here with me,

I don't need to bother you. I'll be fine.

I'll set up a barrier around the hut, then no one will bother you.

Thank you, then.

Na Sheng, what's wrong?

Hungry? Want me to cook something for you?

No need, Sister Bai Ying. I'm not hungry.

Then... are you feeling unwell?

No.

Sister Bai Ying, I feel that Yan Xi...

I'll go outside and take a look.

Lin'er?

Lin'er, it really is you. Why are you here?

Sister.

Let's go in and talk.

I'll tell Su Mo to undo this barrier.

This barrier was created by Su Mo?

He created it to protect Na Sheng and me.

He really is still by your side.

Lin'er, there's something I want to tell you.

Lin'er...

Previously at Jiuyi,

I was always flustered.

I wanted to come and look for you again.

After saying those words,

it's a given that you wouldn't come and look for me.

I didn't know if you wanted to see me. So...

I wanted to see you. Of course, I want to see you.

After what I've done...

You didn't have a choice either.

Besides, you've gone through so much in the last century.

Sister, when can you stop being so kind

and be a bit more selfish?

Lin'er.

I'm just thinking about the price you paid to open Wuse City,

and that after unlocking the seals you'll turn into ash.

You don't need to do that!

This is my responsibility.

Don't you think that the price is too high?

Aren't you afraid?

Sister,

if there's a way that can prevent you from becoming ash,

promise me that you'll do it. Don't ever give up!

Why do you say this?

Su Mo.

At the wooden hut, there were certain things I didn't tell you.

Congratulations... on obtaining the power of the dragon deity.

I really didn't expect that

the price to obtain it would be so high.

Anyone would agree.

How's your injury?

I'll recover in a few days.

We don't have much time left.

If we wait for Cangliu to recover,

it'll be too late for us.

Once we go up Jing Pagoda,

we will be facing Zhi Zhe.

The Heavenly King is your ancestor.

Have you thought this through?

He's not the Heavenly King who guards Yunhuang.

He's the vicious and cruel Zhi Zhe.

All right.

When Bai Ying has fully recovered,

we'll set out immediately.

All right.

What's wrong?

Su Mo, you came.

Why are you here?

I called you to have you undo the barrier.

Emperor of the Sea, I'm merely here to visit my older sister

and keep her company for a few days.

Lin'er won't just be accompanying me for a few days.

She'll always be with me from now on.

So, can you help us to undo this barrier?

This is a sedative.

I'm here to give it to you.

Sister, are you sick?

No. I was injured before, but I'm already better now.

I'll be going.

Lin'er, go in and rest.

I'll see him off.

Do you still remember what happened to Bai Lin?

What are you referring to?

What happened at Jiuyi Mountain.

She said she hurt you at Jiuyi Mountain.

There was a slight misunderstanding between us.

Reuniting with a loved one is a good thing.

About Su Nuo, don't be too sad about it.

There's no need to worry.

Su Nuo is just using another method to accompany me.

You already have obtained the power of the dragon deity.

Now there's only the last seal to unlock.

Shouldn't we discuss what to do next?

There's no need for you to worry about this.

For the next few days, you and Bai Lin should just rest in the wooden hut.

Although I've forgotten some things,

that doesn't stop us from going to unlock the seal.

Zhi Zhe took the initiative to attack.

If we go and unlock the seal now,

the odds are against us.

I need to think of a foolproof plan.

Bai Ying, no need to see me off.

I'll be going now.

Come on out.

Emperor of the Sea.

Why did you follow me?

I wanted to know to what extent you'd go to for my sister.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone.

What if I say that I found the solution to prevent her from becoming ash?

What's the solution?

Make me happy and I'll tell you.

Knowing that my older sister was going to turn into ash,

I tried my best to find a solution to the spell.

The person who casts this spell can reverse life and death,

bring someone back to life.

What is this spell?

Want to know?

I have a condition.

I can tell you,

but I want you to die.

Do you think I'm lying?

This is a Kongsang spell.

Only one of our clan's princesses has ever used it before,

in order to save her beloved one.

It's fine not to know about these kinds of techniques.

Although the Sea Oath of the Star Soul can reverse life and death and change fate,

but it's very dangerous and comes with a heavy price.

It's like giving your life to another person.

Are you referring to Zhu Yan?

How did you know?

Are you holding Zhu Yan's notebook?

I don't know what you are talking about.

Take it out if you have it.

If you don't have it,

then don't waste my time.

Don't you want to know how Zhu Yan's notebook can save my sister?

Look at how confident you are, it makes people hate you!

At the time, you were walking up ahead so you may not know,

there was a bird spirit behind you who wanted to attack you.

I wanted to stop her,

but I haven't yet recovered from my injury.

I was attacked by her, too.

You were attacked by her, too?

How are you? Is your injury serious?

I'm fine.

You're finally willing to trust me.

I...

Sorry, Yan Xi.

It's all my fault.

Fortunately, I didn't tell Sister Bai Ying.

Otherwise, they would blame you.

It's good as long as you trust me.

Lin'er.

Sister.

What are you doing?

I was applying rouge. Does it look nice?

Yes, it looks nice.

My younger sister looks pretty no matter what.

Yan Xi! Yan Xi! Yan Xi.

Yan Xi, we haven't gone outside to play for a long time.

Na Sheng,

you aren't a child anymore.

You shouldn't always need someone's company.

Yan Xi, you...

Why are you so mean?

You've changed.

You've become really strange.

Have your feelings changed, too?

The Quanxian haven't returned to the Biluo Sea yet.

I made a pledge with Han Zhou and Ning Liang.

Until Quanxian returns to Biluo Sea, I will never transform as long as it takes.

But now... not only did I transform for your sake,

Han Zhou and Ning Liang have died as well.

How am I supposed to happily continue to live?

Then, what do you want me to do about it?

I want to live happily with you!

Yan Xi, those people have already sacrificed themselves.

You should live on for their sake.

They aren't your friends!

Of course, you can say something like that!

For every day the Quanxian isn't back at Biluo Sea,

are you going to continue tormenting yourself like this?

Or do you want to leave me?

Continue practicing with your bow then. I'm leaving.

Sister Bai Ying.

Sister Bai Ying?

Where is Sister Bai Lin?

I also don't know where she went either.

Didn't you go looking for Yan Xi?

Why are you back so soon?

How is it possible that a merperson only loves one person their entire life?

They meet so many people in their lifetime.

Perhaps it's because they've been alive for too long,

that lots of things have been forgotten and can't be recalled.

Then do you think...

If someone totally forgets someone else,

will they still love them?

If it's true love, they should be able to remember.

Are you talking about you and Brother Ice Cube?

No, I was talking about you and Yan Xi.

Why are you upset with him again?

Yan Xi has acted like a different person ever since he got back.

Sometimes he's really good to me,

but other times, he ignores me.

Is that Ning Liang's necklace?

- It's not only Ning Liang's necklace, but I've also kept Han Zhou's and Ting's. - Why?

They were lively people who used to banter with me.

But they all died for their ideals.

I want to keep these necklaces to remember them by.

I want to become a member of the Quanxian

and help them finish their journey back to Biluo Sea.

Na Sheng, don't let your imagination run wild.

So many things have happened lately.

Yan Xi is probably just tired.

Plus, his two best friends are gone.

At a time like this, you should care more about him

and be more tolerant of him.

I was probably being too unreasonable then.

A'Ying.

- Your Higness. - What is it? You look startled.

It's fine. I thought Lin'er had come back.

What is that in your hand?

When I was making the bed,

I found this medicine in the blankets.

I suspect that Lin'er is hiding something from me.

I'm a little worried.

Let me see the medicine.

I'll take this bottle of medicine back and have the High Priest take a look.

Oh, right. Su Mo said that he's already talked to you about removing the seal.

When will we be leaving?

It's not urgent yet. We still have some other things to take care of first.

Su Mo also said the same thing.

What are you two hiding from me?

It's nothing much.

A'Ying, this is a secret between men.

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Your Highness, you've really made it difficult for me this time.

What would I know about medicine? I really know nothing about it.

High Priest, I really thought you knew everything and anything.

Your Highness, you've really overestimated me.

Is there really no one in all of Wuse City that is proficient in medicine?

Tell me. Back then, why didn't at least one of the six princes know anything about medicine?

Your Highness, what is the point of saying this now?

No one in Wuse city can...

but there's someone in Quanxian!

A'Yuan.

- Were you looking for me? - Yes.

Not really.

Then are you or are you not?

I am.

However, I have something to ask you about.

Go ahead.

Can you help me take a look and see what kind of medicine this is?

Who gave you this medicine?

A'Ying found it in the wooden hut. It should belong to Bai Lin.

I'll take a closer look. Please wait a moment.

Young Master, there is a very vicious ingredient in this medicine.

- What do you mean? - If this medicine is taken alone,

it is a vicious poison that can instantly kill.

However, if the person who takes it is already poisoned,

this medicine can suppress the other toxin.

It is both an antidote and a poison.

However, using this medicine to suppress the toxin is only effective temporarily.

It's like a brief revival before death, it can let someone

look like they've recovered for a brief moment,

but the person who takes it has already lost and been drained internally.

Emperor of the Sea, I'm merely here to visit my older sister

and keep her company for a few days.

Don't tell Hong Yuan about this matter just yet.

Let me investigate it more first.

You came looking for me because you've thought it through?

Have you really seen Zhu Yan's notebook?

I saw it by chance at my uncle's.

All these years, we've been trying to use the techniques written on it to get away from Zhi Zhe's control.

Unfortunately, we've never succeeded.

The only way to get rid of his tormenting blood pact is with the Sea Oath of the Star Soul's ability to reverse life and death.

It's a pity we can't find anyone to share his fate.

You know that spell?

The last page of Zhu Yan's notebook is torn. The spell is missing.

The Sea Oath of the Star Soul cannot be completed.

That's why I came looking for you.

Thinking about it, how laughable.

Yunhuang is so big, but I can't find anyone to help my sister.

I can tell you how to use the Sea Oath of the Star Soul,

but you have to find the spell yourself.
