[Love you seven times]

[Episode 22]

I also have a gift for you.

See you tomorrow!

[Tie the Knot]

What do you think?

Do I look good?

Yes, you do.

When His Divinity comes,

he will definitely be mesmerized by you.

I am incompetent.

Please punish me.

What's wrong?

Get up and speak.

Your Holiness,

you asked me to bring a message to Xiaoyun Palace.

I have been there a few times,

but was stopped at the door by Immortal Qian.

He stopped you?

Don't even mention about passing the message,

I couldn't even reach the doors of Xiaoyun Palace.

How could Qian

not know that

I am working for you?

You mean...

he didn't mean to stop you,

but it was aimed at me instead?

I...

I didn't mean that.

I...

You may not know,

but Immortal Qian

has gotten arrogant

because of his service as the God of War.

These days, he is even in frequent contact with the Marriage Pavilion.

Such a social butterfly, isn't he?

Your Holiness,

logically speaking,

the Four Great Heaven Kings are supposed to be on equal footing.

But in reality, others do compare in private.

Look, in the whole Heaven Realm,

you're the only one who is...

So, I'll always...

Alright, say no more.

So, I too...

I'm tired.

[Marriage Pavilion]

Xiangyun...

Xiangyun, stop walking around.

You're making me dizzy.

But why is His Divinity

still not here by this hour?

Did something happen?

Or did he oversleep?

Or did he simply forget about it?

It has only been half an incense stick.

Well, will Immortal Qian be late

when he meets with you?

He...

usually comes half a day earlier.

Xiangyun.

Xiangyun!

After you returned from your tribulation,

I sent people to invite you over and over again,

but you didn't come.

Why is it so?

Do you have

any grievances against me?

I dare not.

If there's nothing else,

I will take my leave.

Stop!

You actually died

for Xiangyun in this tribulation.

Yes, I did.

Then, do you know that

your primordial spirit has suffered a great deal of damage because of this?

Everything that you have gained in the previous two tribulations

has been completely nulified.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Every time when Xiangyun returns from a tribulation,

there will be a physician to check her pulse.

If Xiangyun died for me during the tribulation,

her primordial spirit will be damaged.

If this goes on for a long time,

she might perish.

She can help you restore your primordial spirit,

and you can achieve the great cause of killing the devil.

It will be a worthy death.

I didn't tell you

because I was worried that

your kindness

might hold up the bigger task at hand.

I didn't expect it either.

I didn't think that I would end up

needing to sacrifice an immortal,

before I can fight Cang Hai.

Chu Kong,

one person alone is less important than

the rest of the world.

What will the people think

if they knew about what happened?

How different are your actions

from Cang Hai?

Chu Kong!

Your Divinity,

when I was getting some tea,

I ran into Fuyuan Fairy,

who was leaving in a hurry.

Your Divinity.

Red Thread Master,

is Xiangyun here?

Xiangzi just stepped out.

Thank you.

Wait a minute, Your Divinity.

I...

I just have a question.

I wonder if you

sincerely have feelings for Xiangyun?

Of course I have.

The God of War has a formidable reputation,

while Xiangzi is just a lowly immortal.

I can see that

you're sincere from your response.

But, I am just wondering

how long can these feelings last.

I plan to

to cast the Soul-protecting Spell onto Xiangyun.

Soul-protecting Spell?

According to ancient history,

the Soul-protecting Spell

is a supreme protection spell

that is casted by one onto another's primordial spirit.

If the receiver's primordial spirit is damaged,

90% of the damage will be transferred to the caster.

Even when one goes through tribulations,

it won’t be broken.

This is

my promise of a lifetime to Xiangyun.

I'm relieved

to hear this from you.

Goodbye.

All's good.

Xiangyun,

I'm sorry.

I didn't know we're sharing the same source of primordial spirit.

The restoration of my primordial spirit

was at the expense of your primordial spirit.

I was careless.

If you have any complaints,

just tell me.

I have experienced three cycles of tribulation in the mortal world with you.

Would it not be

too foolish of me,

if I were to misunderstand you

after everything we have been through?

Although

I don't know why we have the same source of primordial spirit,

I know you will never hurt me.

You gave me the Linglong heart

not only to cure my heart disease,

but also to restore my primordial spirit.

That's what I'm supposed to do.

Because...

I can't bear to let you sacrifice yourself for me.

But Your Divinity, if you want to fight the devil

and protect the people of the six realms,

what should we do

if the primordial spirit cannot be fully restored,

and we are unable to save the world?

If I have to sacrifice the woman I love

to save the world,

what kind of God of War am I?

But...

There will definitely be a way.

Trust me.

If one takes green oxalis as medication,

it can help restore and purify,

It can remove the Doom Mark.

Your Holiness!

Your Holiness,

you asked to see me?

You are here.

Your Holiness,

what's wrong?

Are you hurt?

It must have been from that time

when I was fighting the Moluo Divine Clan

in the celestial region.

I have yet to

fully recover since.

Well then,

I'll go and find a physician for you right now.

Have you heard of

green oxalis?

Green oxalis?

I... I am just a military officer.

With regards to plants and flowers, I only know to care for them.

I... I don't fully understand them.

I just read a book.

It said that green oxalis is an antidote

that can cure burns from the Moluo Divine Clan's spells.

Your Holiness,

do you know

where I can find this green oxalis?

It is a sacred insect that grows in

in the Far East Valley of the Heaven Realm.

It got its name because

it is agile and sensitive,

and greenish-blue in appearance.

Don't worry, Your Holiness.

I will go and find

this medicine for you right now.

Have you made a wish?

You have to make a wish on your birthday.

Close your eyes. Hurry.

I, Chu Kong,

in the name of the Qilin Divine Clan,

calls upon the primordial spirit of the Star of War,

to protect the one I love.

The Soul-protecting Spell failed.

I...

What Soul-protecting Spell?

It's a family tradition of our Qilin Divine Clan,

that has been passed down from generation to generation.

If you have decided on someone

as your lifelong partner,

then you can plant a unique Soul-protecting Spell

on her primordial spirit.

This was the birthday gift

I planned on giving you.

Perhaps it's because your primordial spirit has been damaged.

That's why...

It's okay.

I'm already very touched.

That won't do.

I have to plant the Soul-protecting Spell onto you,

so as to ensure that your primordial spirit is safe.

Only then can I go to the Mortal Realm with you in peace.

I'll try again.

All right.

Don't you want to know

what wish I made?

My wish is

to be with you every day.

Just like today,

I hope we could be carefree

and rely upon each other.

I'd still like to wish you a happy birthday.

Please forgive me, Lord Protector.

I'll cut off my clumsy hands now.

Please spare my life.

You may leave.

I want to be alone.

Thank you.

We are

Shengling's Dynamic Duo.

Lord Protector,

I’ve gathered my men

to thoroughly search Mount Shengling,

but we couldn't find the Nuwa Stone.

Luo,

you took him away, didn't you?

Goddess of Fate,

is Li

back?

No, he is not.

But, I found this instead.

He has already written the Fate Book for the both of you.

[Record of Tribulation of the General and Princess]

He has written it?

So if you and Chu Kong want to go to the Mortal Realm for your tribulation,

you guys can do it anytime.

Strange.

Li has always been lazy.

How could he have written the Fate Book in advance?

Well, an immortal has to mature someday, right?

Take a look.

Strange.

Why did Li finish writing the Fate Book in advance?

I also found out about something strange.

Look here.

The Fate Book of Shengling Sect from that time

is still incomplete?

It is written up till the moment where I gave you the Linglong Heart.

The ending where I jumped from the cliff has been torn off.

Two days ago,

I went to ask about changing fates.

After Immortal Li went missing,

I found out that

the last few pages of the Fate Book of Shengling Sect

was torn off.

At that time, His Divinity and Fuyuan Fairy's

tribulation with the Shengling Sect

hasn't come to an end.

In other words,

Immortal Li tore the blank pages in advance.

Yes.

Isn't it strange?

But Li once told me

he wanted to write your experiences into a novel,

and sell them in the six realms.

Could it be that

he did so in order to avoid

giving away the ending in advance?

[Life of the Master and Disciple at Shengling Sect]

It's Scholarly Heaven King's duty to safeguard the Fate Books.

He can't hide the ending and tear away the last few pages

just to make a quick buck.

Li is not that kind of person.

So at that time, the situation should be that

Immortal Li had to leave.

So, he had no choice but to

write down the details of the ending with the Shengling Sect

onto the Fate Book.

Yang Xiaoxiang used the power of Linglong Heart

to kill Xu Wenrui.

She then jumped off the cliff with her Master's body.

What's there to hide with such an ending?

After I asked about changing fates,

I found it even weirder.

So I sent people

to look for Immortal Li in the six realms.

What's the result?

We have yet to yield anything,

but calm down.

Let's wait for a few more days.

Your Divinity,

tell me, is he hiding on purpose?

In the past, he loved playing

crossword puzzles with me.

He must have left some clues

and is waiting for us to find him.

What kind of clues could he have left behind?

This is the Fate Book of the next tribulation.

There's something fishy about this Fate Book.

It starts only after we come of age.

We have to personally go through the tribulation

in order to find clues.

That's not going to work.

Until I manage to plant the Soul-protecting Spell on you

and make sure your primordial spirit is safe,

I am not going to the mortal world to experience the tribulation with you.

But Li is the kind of person

that would lay down at every given opportunity,

and slack off at work if he could.

How could he write have written

all the tribulations' Fate Books before traveling?

Something is fishy.

I said no.

Just listen to me on this.

[Marriage Pavilion]

Li,

others may not understand you,

but I do.

You won't disappear for no reason.

Li,

you mustn't get into trouble.

No,

you must be hiding something.

Is the clue

really hidden in the next tribulation?

Your Divinity,

you're here.

Nonsense!

Your Divinity,

we've been back for days,

but we haven't seen Li.

I have a bad feeling.

I will tell you immediately

once I have any news of Immortal Li.

Of course, I hope Li is just traveling in the Mortal Realm.

But if something has happened to him,

the longer we delay,

the more dangerous he will be.

All right.

Don’t move anymore.

Come to me first.

Let's discuss exactly what we would do.

If the situation reverses,

Li will risk his life for me.

Your Divinity,

this time,

take it as my willfulness.

Xiangyun!

It hurts.

It hurts... so much.

Why was I stabbed?

Why does this hand look like a man's?

[Princess of the State of Qi, Xiangyun]

[General of the State of Qi, Chu Kong]

Your... Divinity?

Xiangyun?

No way!

I...I...

Xiang... Xiangyun,

are you alright?

Xiangyun!

Don't close your eyes.

If you are going to be like this,

your primordial spirit be damaged

when we return to the Imperial Court.

Don't ever close your eyes.

Xiangyun,

I'll get you a physician.

Help!

Help, anybody?

This time, we got the male and female bodies wrong.

I'm afraid there will be more trouble in time to come.

[General's Mansion]

I didn't expect

I am actually pretty cute

in your eyes.

Alright.

Let's get down to business.

As you can see,

we...

might have switched bodies this time.

Go on.

You see, the General and the Princess

seem to have a bad relationship.

But for some reason,

I feel terrible.

I feel giddy,

and I am having abdominal cramps

in this body.

According to my deduction, she could have been poisoned.

Were you the one behind the poison?

Me?

I'm just speculating here.

I observed your wound.

The Princess

dealt an almost fatal hand.

Exactly...

how much hatred is there?

Could it be that...

my magical prowess

affected the Mortal World Well,

causing misalignment of the yin and yang?

Did the immortal named Jiu Lu

wrote a solution in the Fate Book?

I remember Li once mentioned a solution.

It's...

Are you sure?

Li said so anyway.

Things are already like this.

Why don't we try every possible solution?

No.

I can’t get over the fact that

I am facing my own face.

Let me try.

Why don't you close your eyes?

General!

General!

General...

Are... are you alright?

General?

No, General...

Don't you come over.

What is it?

His Majesty has summoned you to the palace.

I see.

You and Xiangyun have been quite deeply in love lately.

I just wanted to ask...

[Emperor of the State of Qi, Qi Zhi]

How dare you let Xiangyun get pregnant?

What does this mean?

Chu Kong,

you have promised me previously.

I...

What did I do?

I...

I acknowledge my mistake.

I just...

Let's just... make up an excuse now to deal with it.

I made a mistake after drinking.

Forget it.

I won't hold you accountable anymore.

But Chu Kong you must remember,

you swore an oath of allegiance to me.

I would not want to see

such a mistake ever again.

It seems that my relationship with the Emperor

is quite exceptional.

I...

will bear it in mind.

Rise.

Don't mess around.

Watch out, my Scale Nine Peaks will hurt you.

Is it a clue left by Li?

Since you're here,

play a game or two with me.

Strange.

How could there be no clue?

[Last Pen]

Suicide note?

So the Princess is not feeling well

because of her pregnancy.

A few days ago,

the General brought back a woman named Xinran.

Not long after, the Princess lost her baby.

In a fit of grief and indignation, she believe that

it was the General who has moved on to Xinran,

and poisoned her with an abortion pill.

That's why she hated him so much,

and almost died together.

It seems that something is very wrong with Xinran.

I must not alert her for now.

And there's still Mother,

and Brother.

I see.

Your Majesty,

is there another piece

to your jade pendant?

And on it, there's a carving

of the Nine Peaks?

Why do you ask when you already know the answer?

I just forgot for a moment

what was written on it.

Scale Nine Peaks.

When the late emperor founded the country,

he dreamt of an immortal

using a move called Scale Nine Peaks.

The next day,

the late emperor won a crucial battle

and managed to rule the country.

The immortal showed the way.

The late emperor had a great dream.

Indeed.

The late emperor got someone

to make two carved jade pendants.

It's a token of royalty, and it has been passed down for generations.

This side of the jade pendant, bearing the Scale Waves,

signifies the right to mobilize the elite Imperial Guards in the capital.

As for the other piece,

even I have never seen it before.

Why is that so?

The Nine Peaks is not just a token.

It's also the bloodline of the Duan family,

who is Mother's clan.

Those who get to see the Nine Peaks is like seeing the tiger's talisman.

It signifies that Duan's 100,000 Zhenyuan army

will listen to his orders.

Eat slowly.

Okay.

Did you get any useful information

when you met with the Emperor?

Yes.

I found out that there are two jade pendants

that are of great importance to the state of Qi.

The Scale Waves and Nine Peaks are engraved respectively onto the pendants.

I think this is the hint

that Li left us.

If we combine the two jade pendants into one,

we might be able to find the answer.

The Emperor only has one piece.

The other piece is in the Empress Dowager's hands.

Even the emperor has never seen it before.

The Empress Dowager

is controlling half of Qi

by virtue of her mother's clan, the Duan Clan.

But she only has Xiangyun as her only daughter.

The current emperor

was adopted by her.

Empress Dowager's maternal clan is strong and powerful.

The Emperor has been

governing from behind the curtains since he was young.

But now, the Emperor is able to govern himself.

However, the Empress Dowager refuses to give up her power.

Instead, she has been hoping for her daughter

to give birth to an heir soon.

Once the Princess is pregnant,

regardless whether it is a boy or girl,

it will be a boy.

And this boy

will take over the position of the current emperor.

The General swore to be loyal to the Emperor.

So he deliberately neglected the princess

on the orders of the Emperor,

in order to prevent her from giving birth to a heir.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are going head-on against each other.

How can we merge the two jade pendants?

I have an idea

which we can try.

What is it?

Just listen to me.

Your Holiness,

I found this green oxalis

after scouring through

the entire Far East Valley.

By the way,

the boy guarding the valley also said

that this sacred insect

only consumes dew in its entire lifetime.

It's extremely pure,

and when used as a medicine, and has a restorative and purifying effect.

Even the

the Heavenly Divine Oracle's spells can be removed.

It should not be a problem to

cure your burns from the Moluo Divine Clan's spells.

Thank you

for making this trip.

Not at all.

It's my pleasure.

I will take the medicine diligently.

[General's Mansion]

Cui Bi,

the Princess and General want to see you.

They want to see me?

Chu Kong.

Xin'er,

since the General has accepted you as his sister,

we are now a family.

Come.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Xiangyun.

I heard that you summoned me to the palace.

Since you want to enter the palace,

you must dress up nicely.

Your lips look pale.

Why don't you apply some color?

Chu Kong...

Why are you calling me?

Just do as she says.

Ever since I was pregnant,

I have been feeling tightness in my chest.

So I asked the General to get a physician,

who prescribed me some medicine to stabilize my pregnancy.

But on one day half a month ago,

after taking the medicine,

I had unrelenting abdominal pain,

and lost the fetus.

Do you know about this?

Yes, I have heard.

I asked someone to check the prescription

and the residual dregs,

and they turned out fine.

But...

this lipstick which I have been using everyday...

When I saw you dabbing on the lipstick just now,

you were very cautious,

and only dared to dab on a little bit.

Could it be that

you know

what's behind this mystery?

What is it, Xinran?

How could I know?

Mercury has been added into this.

Mercury?

Is that why

you have been experiencing headaches, ringing ears and poor complexion everyday?

And even miscarried?

Who could be so vicious,

Xinran?

I, Xinran, never did this.

If you don't believe me,

you can search my room.

There is definitely no mercury.

Mercury is difficult to store.

It needs to be made by extracting cinnabar from a garnet jar.

If I were you,

I will definitely destroy all the equipment

after extracting the mercury.

What's the point of

searching your room now?

So, on what basis do you suspect Xinran?

You can't be

framing someone for no reason.

Summon Mr. Zhang.

[Maid Cui Bi]

Yes.

Greetings, General.

Greetings, Princess.

I, Zhang Xiaocong,

is the shopkeeper of Zhang's Silverware Shop.

A month ago,

this lady

bought a garnet can in my shop.

You're talking nonsense!

What nonsense?

A garnet can is used to distillate.

Only alchemists will buy it.

You're just a little girl. Why would you need a garnet can?

It was very strange,

so I remembered it clearly.

Yes.

Chu Kong...

Xinran,

how have I been treating you?

Why did you kill

the unborn child?

Indeed,

the human heart is not what it was used to be,

and the world is getting worse.

Good people will not be rewarded.

Fang, lock her up.

Yes.

Chu Kong!

Please spare me.

It was just a moment of foolishness.

Chu Kong!

Chu Kong!

Did you know

I did that to save you?

Chu Kong!

Chu Kong!
