[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 31]

I really

miss the old days.

Although it was hard,

we shared everything

and lived and died together.

You and the Demon Lord are deeply in love.

I envy you.

But everything has changed.

Why do you say that?

Or,

he hasn't changed,

but I have.

Back then,

when a day was over, we didn't know

if we could live the next day.

We didn't think about anything,

except trying every way

to live on.

We have everything now,

but I feel that

I can't get into his heart.

I know nothing about his past.

And he never mentioned it to me.

I always thought I knew him well.

Actually, I know nothing about him.

Demon Queen,

did you mention these thoughts of yours

to Demon Duke?

I dare not.

I'm afraid if I make it too clear,

there would be no turning back.

Demon Duke is right.

I always think too much.

We're an old couple,

yet I still worry about these things.

I'm really sorry

to make you listen to me for so long.

I'll get going then.

Wei Zhi,

it's your arrival

that caused Yan Yue's old injuries to relapse,

and made Demon Queen feel insecure.

You made everyone

in pain again.

Demon Queen brings peace and joy

to Yan Yue.

She and I have the same face.

This is also

a beautiful dream,

which makes the love between me

and Yan Yue

continue in another form.

Maybe

I really should let go.

Let go of myself,

and let go of

everyone else.

Look.

Butterfly orchid.

Your favorite flower.

It is also Xi Cai's favorite.

I think you love it because of her.

In the past,

I would never

tell you this.

But now,

with you lying down like this,

I could open up

to you instead.

You can actually

use your spiritual power.

Then your five senses must be recovering, too.

Maybe soon

you will wake up.

Why are you here?

Heavenly Empress Dowager is worried about the East Kitchen God,

so she asked me to check on her.

How is she?

Not good.

She works hard every day,

but doesn't talk much.

We can't see her smile anymore.

Since she came to Yingzhou,

this is the first time

that she sleeps.

Everyone wants to be an immortal.

But only when you have been one,

you can know if it's good or not.

Look at the East Kitchen God

and the new Heavenly Emperor.

Which one of them is happy?

Let alone

the former God of the Red Sun.

Is it your place to comment on that?

You're too old to talk senselessly like that.

It's just because I've lived a long life

that I don't care about many things.

Is it my place to say it? I don't think about it.

What matters to me is whether it's the right thing to say.

Let me ask you.

Are you happy in the Heaven Realm?

What are you talking about?

Just treat everything with a normal mind.

Then you won't have that many complaints.

I can't communicate with you.

You have no humanity,

following Heavenly Empress Dowager for so long.

Why didn't you give up your immortal status

and return to the mortal world?

The Heaven Realm is the model of the Three Realms.

It's because of love and righteousness

that I stick to the responsibility.

Otherwise,

I would have long gone to be reincarnated.

That's the truth.

Tao.

I'll leave the East Kitchen God to you.

I’m leaving.

Leave it to me.

Tao.

I'll visit you again.

All things sprang from existence.

That existence sprang from non-existence.

The beginning of existence

is based on non-existence.

From now on, you must recite

and study hard.

Understand?

Teacher,

didn't you say

magic is about

applying what one has learned and achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject?

But why

do you want me to recite it every day?

Because it's a special technique.

It will help you a lot.

As long as you remember it,

in the future,

when I'm not around,

you can learn it by yourself.

Teacher,

are you leaving?

I'm just saying.

Teacher.

Please don't leave, okay?

I will study hard.

That's all for today.

Go play.

Xiaomo,

I'm leaving soon.

I can't urge you

to study every day.

Everything depends on you.

Don't make your father angry anymore.

In this way,

your mother will feel better.

Let's go for a drink.

Let's go.

We had a good fight today.

We must have a good drink.

Let's go.

Those people

can't beat us, but they always come.

Yeah.

We have to beat them up!

What happened?

The adjacent piece of land

is like being cursed.

They always make a scene on the first day of the lunar moon

and were never absent.

We just defeated them.

Let's go have a drink.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The first day of the lunar month.

Today is the first day of March.

It's my birthday again.

Demon Duke.

Smells good.

Do you

miss your husband?

I've sent more men to look for him for you.

Just wait a little longer.

No need.

If he remembers me

and wants to look for me,

he'll come to me.

Otherwise,

why should I push for it?

If you really think so,

you won't cry.

Don't worry.

I won't laugh at you.

You don't have to pretend to be strong.

If you want to eat anything,

just tell the kitchen.

You don't have to cook it yourself.

Today is my birthday.

In the mortal world,

you should eat noodles on your birthday.

It symbolizes longevity.

I didn't want to trouble others,

so I did it myself.

I see.

I'm hungry.

I can try

the longevity noodles

from your mortal world.

The rice, noodles,

and spices in Demon Realm,

are very different from those in the mortal world.

Try it first.

Not bad.

Actually,

growing up,

I have only celebrated my birthday once.

My husband celebrated it for me.

He kept me company and cooked noodles for me.

We watched the sunset once.

That was the most beautiful sunset

I've ever seen.

Longevity noodles.

Have I…

eaten it before?

But later I found out

that day

was the day he had to

leave me.

When he

did all those things for me,

what torture it must have been for him.

Yan Yue,

thank you for everything you've done for me.

Now it's my turn

to do something for you.

I will leave.

You must live well.

Demon Duke.

As the saying goes, if you eat other people's food, you own them a favor.

Tell me.

What birthday gift do you want?

I don't want any.

If I offered it,

you must want it.

What?

Are you looking down on me?

If possible,

I want to see the sunset again.

Did you come to the Demon Realm

just to make things difficult for me?

One minute you look for someone,

and the next you want to see the sunset.

This is the Demon Realm,

a place of chaos.

There's no sunset.

I just said I didn't want any gifts.

It's you that

insisted on me making a request.

Thank you for the noodles.

What is that?

Look, the sun.

How can the demon clan have the sun?

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This is not the sunset you want.

I know.

This is a visual trick of yours.

This

is a fake sunset.

No.

It's the morning sun.

It's sunrise,

which represents hope.

People should look forward.

Demon Duke.

Don't cry.

I hate women crying.

So annoying.

If you must cry,

cry after I leave.

What are you thinking about?

Why are you here?

I was thinking,

a long time ago,

we watched the sunrise together.

You thought about a thing so long ago.

Yes.

It's been too long.

Now that I think about it,

it's vague where I was,

and what year it was.

Do you remember?

If you don't remember some things,

just stop thinking about them.

You said

that the seas can run dry, the rocks can crumble, and stars can change places.

Everything changes.

The only thing that never changes...

The only thing that never changes

is you and me.

Wei Zhi?

Are you Wei Zhi?

At this rate,

I can't tell

which one is Wei Zhi.

Everything you see is fake.

The sunrise is fake.

The Demon Queen is fake.

Yan Yue's happiness is fake.

Fake is fake.

You can't let them

pretend to be real.

You have to stay

to find the truth and wake him up.

But...

What should I do?

Mother.

This is a birthday flower ring I made.

Look.

Does it look good?

Not bad.

Mother,

is my birthday coming?

When my birthday comes,

I also want my father

to conjure up the sun.

Soon.

I'll tell you when it's your birthday.

Then you must remember.

Mother.

What about your birthday?

Is it coming soon?

I...

I don't have a birthday.

No.

I heard from my teacher that

everyone in the world

has their own birthday.

You must be mistaken.

Think about it.

Okay, I'll think about it.

Go play.

Do you remember

how we met?

What?

Are you testing me again?

Seriously.

Why are you so serious?

Okay.

I remember

at that time,

I was injured.

So I escaped to the Dark Forest.

You saved me.

And

you cured me.

Yes.

It's the Dark Forest.

The trees are dense and the grass smells nice.

It's my home.

What's wrong?

Are you homesick?

Let's go back together next time.

No need.

I'm just saying.

It's okay.

What happened?

It's weird.

Demon Queen.

What's the matter?

Have a seat.

I have something to ask you.

Go ahead.

Do you mortals

have a disease

that once you catch, you'll forget everything?

It's possible.

Maybe

when somebody's severely stimulated.

Why do you suddenly ask me this?

I don't know.

I just feel

both Demon Duke and I are strange.

He knows nothing about his past.

Me too.

I don't even remember

Xiaomo's birthday.

But I'm his mother.

I vaguely feel

there's a secret

hidden.

Or…

forgotten.

Demon Queen,

do you want to find out this secret?

Yes.

But I'm also afraid.

I think

whether you're a human,

a devil,

an immortal,

or a demon,

anyone would want

a complete self,

instead of an incomplete,

or even modified skin.

You're right.

But now,

I don't even have a clue.

I don't know

where to start.

Maybe

you can go to the original place

to have a look.

The original place?

Mother.

Where are we going?

To our hometown.

What does that mean?

Well...

The place where your father and I met.

Also where you were born.

I see.

Is this the place?

Yes, it is.

Why is this place so shabby?

Your father and I

met here.

I don't know

why it became like this.

Mother, I found the treasure.

This is the medicinal jade.

I'm here for it.

Xiaomo.

Mother.

Your face

changed color.

And your hand.

Let's go.

Honey.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Why do you want to take it out?

I gave it to you

when we got engaged.

But you never wore it.

I thought

you didn't like it.

Who said I don't like it?

I'm just afraid

I'm too clumsy

to break it accidentally.

How is it? Is it pretty?

Yes.

I didn't notice

there was a crack.

It doesn't matter.

Fine.

Since you like it,

wear it more in the future.

Tao.

What are you doing?

Are you going to grind lovesickness bean flour

to make cakes?

You

are indeed the East Kitchen God.

In the mortal world,

lovesickness beans are the symbol of lovesickness.

Legend has it that

someone who misses his lover very much

sheds tears under the tree.

The emotions are too strong to dissipate.

In the end,

they turned into lovesickness beans.

Lovesickness.

They are as hard as diamonds,

and as red as blood.

Look.

Does it look like a heart?

Yes.

It's really similar.

Tao.

Do you miss someone too?

In the mortal world,

people say that if you wear the lovesickness beans

on your wrist,

you'll meet the person you miss.

My Lord.

Yi'er.

Tao.

Thank you for taking care of me

during this period.

I'm leaving.

Yi'er.

Kitchen God.

Tao.

Don't worry about me.

I hope you can meet

the person you miss.

♫The sunset is just right♫

♫It's like a dream♫

You are a soldier?

A general?

Are you mute?

♫If you take the beauty♫

I'm leaving.

♫In your eyes♫

No, no, no.

♫Don't make the love too strong♫

You can talk after all.

♫How much it entangles♫

Miss,

♫The thoughts♫

it's dark and windy here.

I wonder who

set the trap here.

♫The hourglass along your fingers♫

You should go.

♫Where do we go from here?♫

It's dangerous.

It turns out…

we've met a long time ago.

♫Spread out your palm♫

A long, long time ago,

♫If all your obsessions are empty♫

when you were not

the supreme lord of the Demon Clan yet,

♫Remembering the past♫

I've already seen you.

♫All that you've given me♫

♫A little more touching♫

♫A little less frightened♫

♫How many times I've been in love♫

♫The more fate plays tricks on me♫

♫The more I sing the praises of love's nirvana♫

♫A wisp of dust and sorrow♫

♫Blow away like the wind♫

♫Who plays on his heart in tears?♫

♫I can't help but reach out♫

♫To the thoughts♫

♫Don't ask, don't tell♫

♫Just hold each other♫

♫Fold a feather of tenderness♫

♫And it's immortal♫

♫Believe in love and loneliness♫

Sister.

♫Learn to be foolish and brave♫

♫It's hard to turn back♫

Is she the one

♫You don't have to understand if you don't want to hear♫

that I should protect?

♫Even if it's a dream♫

We love each other.

Why can't we be together?

♫Twist a wisp of dust and worry♫

Why?

♫For whom to put it all together again♫

♫A few tears to revisit the same place♫

Yi'er.

♫I can't help but reach out♫

Don't imitate me.

♫To the thoughts♫

♫Don't ask, don't tell♫

Put it down.

♫Just hold each other♫

♫Fold a feather of tenderness♫

Smile.

♫Time flies by♫

♫I'd rather not keep anything to myself♫

♫Learn to be foolish and brave♫

♫It's hard to turn back♫

♫You don't have to understand if you don't want to hear♫

♫Even if it's a dream♫

Heavenly Empress Dowager,

I...

How dare you!

You broke into the time dust without permission?

Do you know

what the consequences will be?

I'm sorry.

I miss him so much.

I can't control myself.

Don't say sorry to me.

Do you really want to

be locked

in the time dust

and never able to leave for him?

Are you willing to be like that?

Even if I'm locked up for the rest of my life,

as long as I'm with him,

I'm willing.

Love is just vanity.

I've heard this too many times.

Aunt,

do you really believe it?

Are you really willing

to live a heartless and loveless life

like this?

Yi'er!

If I can hold my lover's hands,

if we can be with and help each other even in hard times,

I'd rather give up my immortal status

and give up immortality.

How dare you!

I don't want to

hear words like those again.

Aunt.

Heavenly Empress Dowager,

you transfer your spiritual power

to Heavenly Emperor every day.

It'll be a great loss for yourself.

It's bad for your health.

It's okay.

I'll be fine after some rest.

Let's go back.

Okay.

Aunt.

Aunt.

I beg you.

Let me take another look at him.

Just one look.

Aunt.

The teacher said

not only need you to be proficient in spells,

but also focus on your heart.

In this way, you can conjure up

what you want the most.

Father, have a try.

What is this strange thing?

Father,

when you did it,

what were you thinking about?

Nothing.

The golden feather fled away.

Why do I have the impression

that I've seen this before somewhere?

Why is there a Phoenix Feather here?

Teacher!

The golden feather fled to your house.

Catch it!

Teacher!

My feather.

My golden feather.

Demon Duke, Demon Queen.

Just now, Xiaomo

taught us magical spells.

I can't do it at all.

But Demon Duke

has conjured up…

A golden feather.

A flying golden feather.

This is not a golden feather.

This is Phoenix Feather.

The deity's skills and the illusions are all from people's hearts.

At that time, what you thought

will reflect on the thing you conjured up.

Demon Duke, you really don't know this?

Phoenix.

How could I know it?

Phoenix is an ancient divine creature.

Its soul is passed down to the world.

It has a strange connection

with the sacred Huarong in the Demon Realm.

The Phoenix

is feared by the Heavenly Realm

which is the leader of the Three Realms.

The Heavenly Court sent the Red Sun God

to kill the Phoenix.

But destiny makes fools of the people.

The Red Sun God

committed an unforgivable crime.

Teacher,

go ahead.

What happened to the God of Red Sun?

What crime did he commit?

He fell in love with

his sworn enemy Pheonix.

Love?

Love is marriage,

like my father and mother.

They were married in one life.

But later,

for justice and responsibility,

he had to kill Phoenix.

Justice and responsibility.

Father,

what do these words mean?

Dear,

if it were you,

what would you choose?

The God of Red Sun

is too weak.

If it were me,

I wouldn't have cared about justice

or responsibility.

I will put everything aside

and be with the one I love

forever.

Xiaomo,

we've done the magical skills,

and heard the stories.

It's time to go.

Say goodbye to Teacher.

Goodbye, teacher.

See you tomorrow.

Where did you

get this?

Why did you go there secretly?

What do you mean secretly?

I heard you mention that place.

I was curious,

so I went there.

What did you see?

Ruins.

It doesn't look like someone has lived there.

Only this container…

looked like it had been thrown there.

Is this yours?

I don't remember.

It's just a container.

If it's gone, it's gone.

Why did you bring it back?

When I saw it,

I felt

familiar.

I think I've seen it somewhere,

but I don't remember.

Really?

I'll tell you when you remember.

By the way,

I advise you

not to wander around again.

If you are in danger again,

I can't save you.

Where have I seen it before?

It hurts.

Let go! Let go!

It hurts.

Do you know what time it is?

You're still sleeping?

It's still early.

Let me sleep some more.

Stop sleeping.

Go check the Phoenix Egg.

Phoenix egg.

Phoenix egg.

No, this...

This is clearly a bad omen.

Bad omen?

You mean this bird egg…

Phoenix egg.

This phoenix egg...

It can't be doomed, can it?

Stop talking nonsense.

Think of something for me.

What can I do?

This bird egg

has been here for so long.

The son of a phoenix.

Don't say bird egg.

Phoenix egg. Phoenix egg.

Why do you only grow old

but never grow sensible?

You've lived so long for nothing.

I think

we should find someone wise

to ask.
