[Adapted from the novel of the same name in jjwxc.net by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang]

[Episode 15]

Who is it?

Who threw out my blanket?

Didn't I already promise you all that I'd move downstairs?

How dare you still prank me?

I have to retrieve my blanket this early in the morning.

But it's good to move downstairs too.

This way, Tianyao won't discover my plans.

I can make plans by myself.

Black clothing does suit Tianyao better.

Has Tianyao recovered from his injuries?

Don't tell me he forgot to apply his ointment?

(I fell for him.)

(If you like someone, you should court him.)

(What do you like to drink? Pick one.)

(Maybe some dew.)

♪Couldn't help but be gentle♪

(Find out what he likes.)

(After that, cater to his liking.)

♪Time slows down when you love someone♪

♪Every little thing is a love letter♪

What are you doing?

Tianyao.

Come here.

♪Let there be a rainbow at night♪

Take a sniff.

♪Melting all of my doubts away♪

There's a floral scent to it.

This is the morning dew I gathered.

Morning dew?

If you're that free, you should go and train.

I'll go and train when you go to pull out the sword.

Don't worry.

I still remember that I need to help you retrieve your body.

Just try it.

I gathered this early in the morning.

It contains a floral scent too.

♪Quietly loving you for me♪

♪I never doubt as my yearning filled the starry sky♪

Sorry about that! I didn't mean it!

You little fatty!

He pushed me!

You're pretty bold, huh?

He pushed me!

Forget it.

Let them be.

At least there's someone sensible here.

Who are you calling insensible?

You!

This woman is so fierce.

She's like a tigress.

That's right.

Listen up.

You guys have ruined my plans time and time again.

He might be able to tolerate you guys, but I can't!

No matter how fierce you are, we'll defend the rules of our valley with our lives!

That's right!

Here, you're not allowed to do that!

I didn't do anything!

You're not even allowed to think of it!

Falling in love will bring bad luck.

Where did you guys learn that nonsense from?

It's the truth.

Twenty years ago,

His Majesty fell for a female Taoist.

That's how the Dragon Valley was massacred.

(Within the Taoist clan, only husbands can comb their wives' hair.)

(Didn't you say)

(that you'd feel better if you stayed close to the Heart Protecting Scale?)

(This is...)

(This is what I deserved.)

A love relationship is the biggest scourge in the world.

That's right.

That wasn't

the Dragon King's fault.

It wasn't the fault of the relationship too.

It was the fault of the evildoer who used their relationship to deceive him.

We don't understand.

Anyway, no one is allowed to fall in love here.

Smoke is coming out!

-Huan Xiaoyan?-There's a spirit!

-What are you doing outside? -Help!

Everything's fine now.

We've escaped from the forest.

We aren't in the Misty Forest now.

That's not it.

It's the ring.

Look!

The ring?

Our lord is in the ring too.

Now, he has gone berserk due to the dark aura.

When I was in the ring, I saw you vanquishing the dark aura

in the forest with a stroke of the sword.

You should hurry and do the same for my lord.

I'm begging you. Look.

I'm going bald because of him.

The sword you mentioned just now, it flew off on its own.

The sword they were referring to, could it be the Flaming Dragon Fang?

That's impossible.

I stood guard over it every day. I always kept an eye on it.

No one pulled the sword out.

That's not true.

Someone did pull that sword out.

Look at this.

Now, you know what happened, right?

So, he's truly the Dragon King.

The Dragon King has finally returned.

He's truly the Dragon King.

Let's go to His Majesty!

Wait for me!

Wait.

It's useless to go to him now.

Right now, he can't pull out the sword you need.

But why?

Only a pure-hearted person can pull out the Flaming Dragon Fang.

Right now, he's trapped by the past.

He's no longer pure-hearted.

What should we do then?

We need to think of a way to cure him.

You have to help me out.

I need that sword too if I wish to save my lord.

All right.

I'll lend you a hand.

What are you guys doing?

Your Majesty, welcome back.

Hurry! Get up! Get up.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry.

Sometimes, I sleep on duty!

But I never expected Your Majesty to come back!

How could we treat His Majesty like that?

It's fine. It's all in the past now.

Enough already. You should let the Dragon King rest now.

Your Majesty, although we did commit a heinous sin before this,

you must never fall in love with a woman again.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Your Majesty, this woman is trying to court you. Your Majesty!

- You're talking nonsense again. - Let him go!

Don't mind him.

Let him go!

Your Majesty, do you have feelings for this lady then?

I don't.

- Let's go! - Time to go! Let's escort His Majesty to his room.

Time to go!

Time to return!

Time to send His Majesty back!

Don't be sad.

[Dark Phantom's Mind's Eye]

Bai Xiaosheng,

do you know your fault?

My Lord,

I had no idea

that the Misty Forest was the entrance to this realm.

However, you brought the Spirit Dragon here,

destroyed the entrance to the Misty Forest,

and almost ruined my plan.

I know my fault now.

How was the progress of the task I had assigned you?

I've already found a suitable couple.

I'm planning to bring them to Qingqiu

to retrieve the secret treasure for you, My Lord.

You've made me wait too long.

Do not try anything funny.

I will keep a close eye on you.

So filthy.

What a jerk.

Wait.

I used the blood of the entire phantom spirit clan to create the entrance to our lord's mind's eye.

Since you brought the dragon here and destroyed the entrance,

you have to repair it.

This is also an order from our lord.

Shadows, come.

All good now?

Although we both serve the Lord,

you shall do your things while I shall do mine.

Do not cause trouble for me.

You're so talkative.

One day, I'll take your life.

Before that, I'll surely take your life first.

Try me then.

I'm already tired of living anyway.

My Lord, I will seek out more power for you

so that you can regain your freedom earlier.

What a huge drumstick.

Your Majesty, do you have feelings for this lady then?

I don't.

- Let's go. - Your Majesty, time to go!

Let's go! Time to head back!

Let's go!

This fatty is crushing me.

Your Majesty, why are you still awake?

You guys can sleep.

Your Majesty, aren't you sleepy?

Your Majesty, will you attempt to pull out the sword again tomorrow?

I have to.

Your Majesty, why can't you pull out Flaming Dragon Fang now?

Maybe it's because

I've changed.

Your Majesty, no matter how much you change, we'll defend you with our lives.

Especially when it comes to having a relationship.

Don't worry.

I won't repeat the same mistake.

Go to sleep now.

So, was that considered a rejection?

I haven't even confessed to him yet.

There is still a long way to go. I mustn't give up this easily.

But now that I think about it,

if I was hurt by a person I loved,

I assume I would be fearful of love too.

I need to give him some time. I'll wait for him.

Were you waiting for me?

Bai Xiaosheng?

The sunflower seeds here are delicious.

My... My Lord?

You can't just appear randomly without telling anyone. You scared me.

After so long,

you and I were still reunited in this valley.

Is that so? Where did you go?

It's a long story. Actually...

Bai Xiaosheng!

Kill!

- Who is this? - Kill!

You're digging your own grave here.

Have mercy! Please have mercy!

What's going on?

I don't know what triggered my lord

to escape from the ring!

He's your lord?

Don't be scared.

Stay here and wait for my return.

- A life for a life! - My Lord!

A life for a life!

I'm going to kill you!

- You! - I'm sorry! My lord is usually a nice person.

Right now, he's influenced by the dark aura. That's why he lost control.

Bai Xiaosheng, you were controlled by the dark aura too before.

You should understand how my lord is feeling right now.

I do! But I'm a victim too!

Not only is he hitting me, but he's also digging my nose!

This won't do. Why don't we sit down and talk it over?

- That's right. - Let's talk it over.

My Lord!

A life for a life! Kill him!

- Is my nose crooked? - No.

What happened? Are you okay?

You're here again?

What do you mean by again? My heart has never left.

Who exactly are you? What's your connection to the dark aura within the Misty Forest?

Since it has come to this, there's no need for me to hide this from you guys.

Actually,

I'm a victim of the dark aura too.

How can I speak when you're dragging my collar?

Let him speak.

Yeah. You should give him a chance to explain himself.

Just look at my lord. He's truly a victim.

This story starts from a long time ago.

Once upon a time, there was this person.

He manipulated the dark aura and annihilated the Shadow Clan.

My mother protected me.

That's how I was able to survive.

But I wasn't immune to the dark aura.

All these years, I've been searching for a solution to purge the dark aura in my body.

After many years of searching, I finally found it.

There's one secret treasure in Qingqiu that can relieve me of my suffering.

However, the secret treasure can only be acquired by the cooperation of a loving couple.

So, about the loving couple you mentioned, was that why you kept trying to be our matchmaker?

That's right. A couple that truly loves each other is much more precious than the secret treasure.

And I'd failed countless times until the day I encountered you guys.

No wonder you've been helping us along the way.

You do sound like you have a point.

Both of you were influenced by the dark aura.

Why is the Phantom King delirious while you're perfectly fine?

That's because my true effigy is still under someone else's control.

My body hasn't been fully corroded by the dark aura yet.

How could I know if someone didn't manipulate you to say all of that?

It feels terrible when your life is in someone else's hands.

I've trained hard for so many years in order to escape his control and to get back my true effigy.

Who's the mastermind behind you?

It's the creator of the dark aura.

He's a visual spell master in Qingqiu.

It's a shame that I don't know what he looks like.

I don't even know his name.

But of course, my words alone are no proof.

It's normal for you to be doubtful of me.

Therefore, I have a suggestion.

We should vanquish the dark aura that's residing within the Phantom King's ring.

When he comes back to his senses and exits the ring,

he'll tell you guys that I'm not the culprit behind the dark aura within the Misty Forest.

That's right. You should vanquish it first.

But he can't pull out that sword of his.

This matter concerns my reputation.

Therefore, I'll do my best to lend you guys a hand.

You're willing to lend us a hand?

Of course.

Come with me.

I don't need his help.

I know.

I know you don't need his help. But I do.

Let's go.

Rest early.

I'll make a move first too.

- I'm doing this to help you guys out. - Wait for me!

You said that dragon rejected you?

But why?

It's common for people to not have the same feelings for others.

I finally figured it out.

What are you perplexed about?

By the way, I need to be honest with you on one thing.

What is it?

Before this, the lovey-dovey acts between me and Tianyao, they were all fake.

We put on an act because we needed your help.

- I'm sorry. - What?

Are you serious?

But now, I've truly fallen for him.

I'm being serious here.

It's no longer an act.

Good.

It's good as long as you two love each other.

But now, I'm facing a situation.

How do I help him to get over his tragic past and mend his broken heart?

Mending a broken heart?

I don't know how to do that.

I only know how to hold funerals.

Don't say inauspicious things like that.

I think she has a point.

Marriages and funerals, they feel the same to me.

What I'm trying to say is that both marriages and funerals are major events in life, right?

We have to make preparations for them, right?

You're right.

You, tell us. How do you usually hold funerals for other people?

I just play some music with my instruments,

carve their epitaphs onto their tombstones, and send them on their last journeys.

Must we hold a funeral for him?

This won't do.

It'll irritate him instead.

We should think about events for the living.

I don't know anything else.

I don't understand why he rejected you.

You're beautiful. You have a great temper. And you're kind too.

Are you talking about me?

You still trust me?

You were the one who found me in the Misty Forest.

When you dragged me out of the vines,

back then, my heart was...

So, you like her?

Seems like you know nothing about the world of the living.

He's just trying to console me so that I have the confidence to face Tianyao.

Listen. Before this, when he tried to set me up with Tianyao, he made us sleep in the same bed.

Really?

And, not long ago, he even monitored me on Tianyao's behalf.

He didn't allow me to talk to my eldest senior too.

That's right.

You've spent a lot of effort.

It must've been tough.

No choice.

They're the loving couple

that I've chosen after all.

Don't worry.

I'll treat you as my buddy because of your matchmaking effort.

If I do get together with Tianyao, we might be able to fulfill the promise I made to you.

But this is so difficult.

He has already shut his heart away.

How do we cure him?

How do we mend his broken heart?

Who wants to be your buddy?

Maybe Tianyao shut his heart away because he was shouldering too many responsibilities and guilt.

He thinks that the elves died 20 years ago all because he fell for Suying.

If we want to reach his heart, we have to make him reconcile with his past self.

Reconcile?

You have an idea?

- Greetings, Your Majesty! - Greetings, Your Majesty!

Get up.

Your Majesty, you woke up early today.

Your Majesty, did you sleep well?

Your Majesty, are you going to pull out your sword?

Everyone, look!

It's that lady and the newcomer again.

It looks like they've been spending a lot of time together.

I'm sure she wants to get into a relationship with him.

What a jinx.

You should leave the valley if you want to do that.

They've been together for quite some days.

I think they're already deeply in love with each other.

Your Majesty, you can go and retrieve your sword.

We'll chase these jinxes out of our valley.

Just let them be.

His Majesty's cold and strong demeanor looks so cool.

Is that so? But I feel like something's off.

What do you mean?

I think His Majesty is angry.

His Majesty is angry?

I didn't feel that.

No!

You mustn't go inside!

What are they doing?

Nothing.

They're not doing anything.

- I don't wish to fight you. - Move aside.

And I can't defeat you.

I'm just here to be on the lookout for them.

I'm begging you.

Just treat it as if they aren't here.

They've been working on it for a long time.

They've been working on it for a long time?

What exactly are they up to?

I...

I cannot tell you.

You'll know when they feel like telling you.

Remember, no falling in love in the Dragon Valley!

Okay.

Let me see yours.

It looks pretty cute.

Why are you so near to me? Be serious.

I'm very serious.

Listen. We don't have much time.

Let me show you something. Look.

The puppy is happy.

- Be serious! - I'm being serious.

You're a shadow spirit, right?

Utilizing them should be no problem for you.

That's right. But it'll only be touching if we put in our true feelings.

If so, you need to memorize your lines.

Do you still remember the line I utter before you make an appearance?

What line?

The line where I say "Snow Wolf".

What do I do after that?

- You'll then make an appearance. - Yanhui!

This is bad!

What's the matter?

Just now, the dragon tried to come here.

I think he found out what we were up to.

Were we up to something?

He...

I think he cast away his worldly feelings.

He came here to remind us that no falling in love is allowed in the Dragon Valley.

Was he trying to tell us to stop?

Yanhui, what should we do?

I think you might not be able to win his heart.

- Why don't we... - I don't care what he thinks.

I'm going to do it if I've set my mind to it.

We cannot afford to wait any longer.

It all falls on tonight.

(It's that lady and the newcomer again.)

(It looks like they've been spending a lot of time together.)

(I'm sure she wants to get into a relationship with him.)

I know. I know you don't need his help.

But I do. Let's go. Rest early.

(They've been working on it for a long time.)

You'll know when they feel like telling you.

Stupid sword!

What's wrong?

Your Majesty, we're here to escort you.

The other elves aren't here today

because they went to the tree by the lakeside to watch a shadow play.

Shadow play?

It's the act that lady and her lover had been preparing for.

Don't say the term "lover". It's unlucky.

Her acquaintance.

I heard that they prepared it for us.

They even prepared sunflower seeds and tea for us.

Stop looking.

Those who only think about love won't be able to come up with anything good.

That's right. We won't go there.

You guys can go there if you wish to.

We don't want to.

Your Majesty, but if you wish to go there, we can join you.

- That's right. Your Majesty, we can join you! - That's right. Your Majesty, we can join you!

I don't wish to go there.

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.

In order to thank you all for taking care of us in the Dragon Valley,

we've prepared an amazing shadow play for you all.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Louder. Are you ready?

Yes!

Good. Let's begin!

Once upon a time, there was a hermit called Mr. Beiguo.

He lived in a valley.

He kept plenty of adorable pets.

He has always lived a happy life.

You're too early.

One day, the Snow Wolf came to the valley.

Snow Wolf, what's wrong?

I'm hurt.

Can you please help me?

The kind Mr. Beiguo helped the wolf out,

just like how he helped the other animals.

However, he never expected

the Snow Wolf to bite the hand that feeds him.

It ate all of the animals in the valley.

Mr. Beiguo was also bitten by the Snow Wolf.

He only recovered after resting for a long time.

But Mr. Beiguo regretted his decision.

And he blamed himself for it.

Until today, he encountered someone who knew about the incident.

Mr. Beiguo, why did you choose to save the Snow Wolf?

Mr. Beiguo, why did you choose to be kind?

It's because he didn't know about the wolf's intention.

That's right.

The animals died because of you!

You committed this sin!

You should atone for your sin!

Why did you hit me?

Why are you guys treating Mr. Beiguo like this?

If you treat him like this, Mr. Beiguo won't save other animals

if he finds them in danger next time.

He's not wrong for saving the Snow Wolf!

You're wrong. Mr. Beiguo is in the wrong here.

The animals died due to his kindness.

No. No! He's not at fault for being kind! It's...

The Snow Wolf is in the wrong here!

That's right! It's the wolf's fault!

It's the wolf's fault!

You're right. I also think it isn't Mr. Beiguo's fault.

Don't spout nonsense again.

Sorry about that.

Tianyao!

Your Majesty!

- Yanhui! - Yanhui!

Tianyao!

Yanhui, you crossed the line.

I know.

But I have to cross the line you drew.

My past has nothing to do with you.

But your present has everything to do with me.

- Move aside! - I won't!

I don't want you to get yourself injured in the valley.

You're not putting in effort for the sake of a better future.

You're just punishing yourself.

That's right. So what if that's the case?

- What has that got to do with you? - It breaks my heart.
