=The Legend of ShenLi=

=Episode 18=

Zixia?

He must have stolen Zixia's body

and then refined them into

creatures that are neither human nor demon.

They are powerful and know how to cooperate,

as if they have become lifeless puppets

that only follow orders.

If such puppets were to be created by the thousands,

it would be dreadful.

Puppets?

Created?

Feel free to say what you want to say.

Nothing.

That's all?

Yes.

But it's enough

to keep our guard up.

I will have someone go to the Mortal Realm to investigate.

You and His Excellency must be tired now.

Go back and rest.

This matter just takes time.

Take care of your health.

Don't worry.

If they take action

against us,

I'll make them regret it.

Go back.

ShenLi.

I've found Her Holiness is so good to you

and that you show great respect to Her Holiness in return.

She raised me.

Her Holiness treats me as her own child,

and she is both a teacher and a mother to me.

In the court, I respect her most,

and in private, I am closest to her.

So whether it's for her

or for myself,

I will guard the Immortal Realm.

Just now, Lord Bicang mentioned something about Fu Sheng.

Why wasn't I informed before?

Your Holiness, please forgive us.

But nobody reported it.

Capturing the Earth Diviners

without being noticed

is not easy.

Go and investigate personally.

If you capture Fu Sheng,

no need to bring him back and execute him on the spot

so that no one else will know.

But the Divine...

I will find an excuse.

Go now.

Yes.

Your Lordship.

General Zhao Meng.

(Zhao Meng, Immortal Realm) Greetings, Your Lordship.

How's it going in the Xutian Abyss?

I just got back from there.

You can rest assured.

It's now even cleaner than the Capital City.

Those little brats

are now fighting tooth and nail

to serve at the frontier.

Where is Mofang now?

Last time he kicked Furong, and Her Holiness said

he'd be punished.

I haven't seen him since I came back this time.

Where was he sent for punishment?

I just saw Luotian Goddess

ask him to go to the garden.

No idea what they were saying.

Youlan

asked him to go to the garden?

Yes.

(I don't think she was going)

(to talk to Mofang about romantic trifles.)

Alright. Let's talk another day.

- Go back to your work. - I'm leaving.

Your valiance

impressed me a lot.

I've heard about it recently.

My good-for-nothing brother

has caused you lots of trouble.

Here, I apologize to you on his behalf.

Don't mention it.

You don't have to say sorry.

I'd appreciate it if you could persuade Furong

to return to the Divine Realm soon.

I will.

It's just that my brother

is a ladies' man,

but he's never treated a man like this.

The mortals say where there's smoke, there's fire.

I know your reputation in the Immortal Realm.

Please mind your words and manners.

Do not bring my brother into disrepute.

It's so flattering.

Your brother would even flirt

with a statue if it had a pulse.

It seems you've come to the wrong place

and the wrong person.

You should go back

and discipline your brother.

How can you talk like this?

It takes two to tango.

I think Furong

quite enjoys

dancing alone.

You may leave to stay away from the mess.

Stop.

This is how you treat your guests?

This is my way of treating guests.

I respect the respectable.

I love the lovable.

As for the annoying ones,

I treat them as I wish.

Please mind your manners.

I don't have the best temper.

As a Diviner,

I have never been treated like this.

- Let go. - I won't.

No?

Fine, hold on to it then.

You can't leave.

L-L-Let go.

Are you going to break my hand?

Ow!

Does it hurt that much?

- It hurts! - Drop the act.

- Your Lordship. - Let go!

- Let go! - Don't twist it.

Help me. Let go.

Help!

Why are you bullying her with force?

(He's playing the hero?)

(Great.)

Your Excellency, please forgive us.

Her Lordship didn't mean to bully her.

Well, you're good at reading her mind.

It's rare.

Don't blame him.

Youlan spoke rudely to our general.

I couldn't swallow the insult,

so I return it to her.

You look mad at us.

Well.

You want to get back at me on her behalf?

You're being so angry now for your general.

You treat your people so well.

But I'm no match for you

in terms of how tenderly you treat her.

(He's completely toying with me.)

(Again and again, he severs our relationship)

(and then comes back to seduce me.)

I request to fight.

(And he's just so good at it.)

(He made me)

(willingly impale my mouth on his hook.)

(You're drunk.)

Diviners

don't have those feelings.

(I'll get myself killed because of that.)

If you want to help her get justice,

you should go to Her Holiness.

If I am at fault,

I am willing to accept punishment.

You don't need to get angry.

I take my leave.

The people of the Immortal Realm are so impolite.

How dare Lord Bicang

treat us Diviners like this?

They'll be a problem in the future.

Exactly.

If you

provoke her again

and she accidentally snaps your neck,

that would be terrible.

You will possibly get beheaded.

Will you uphold justice for me?

No.

Her Holiness loves Lord Bicang so much. She will surely turn a blind eye.

And we won't make a big fuss over it for just a Diviner.

After all, peace is paramount.

If that time comes,

just rest in peace.

I'll offer some tribute fruits.

Was His Excellency siding with ShenLi?

Really?

Come on.

Seems true.

Why are you so infuriated?

What?

Please forgive me.

It's alright. Stand up.

I dealt with Youlan for you

without getting beaten by His Excellency.

Why would I be angry?

Right.

No matter how powerful His Excellency is,

he wouldn't do anything outrageous to us.

It's just that there was no one around just now,

and it's hard to tell Lord Xingzhi's mood.

To avoid unnecessary punishment,

I walked a little too fast.

Right.

Today, Youlan spoke rudely to you.

If I hadn't seen it,

you'd have swallowed your anger, right?

- You're right. - Huh?

Why should we

make way for those arrogant Diviners?

It's their own mess.

How could they pin the blame on us?

From now on, whether it's Furong

or his sister,

whoever messes with you

is messing with my men

and me.

That's disrespect to us.

Do not give in.

Otherwise, I will punish you

- by military law when I see it. - Yes.

Your Lordship.

This may be somewhat improper.

The Heavenly Lord is

Furong and Youlan's grandpa.

Moreover, you are engaged to Furong.

If there is too much tension...

There's nothing improper.

Others mustn't think

we are easy to bully.

Yes.

I heard that you were injured in the Mortal Realm.

I'm fine now.

I'm well enough to fight a Chimei.

I was too impulsive,

causing you to be injured.

Please punish me.

I was just wondering.

The generals of our realm

aren't easy to get along with,

and you have a temper.

But today, Youlan slandered you like that

and you didn't show a hint of anger.

Did what happened before

frighten you a lot?

So you're afraid

of dragging me into it?

I said it's fine. Rise.

Fine, I will punish you.

Stand up.

This is Zixia's badge.

Give it to his wife,

so that she can keep a memento.

(Zixia)

Don't blame yourself.

(Zixia)

(Zixia)

(Memorial tablet of Zixia)

Your Lordship.

I won't stop you.

- Excuse me. - Your Lordship.

Go to the military camp

and get all those who are off duty tonight.

- Tell them it's my order. - Alright.

You mourn for Zixia.

So do I.

The entire Immortal Realm grieves.

Tonight,

let's commemorate

the thousands of soldiers

who sacrificed for us.

I'll accompany you.

Your Lordship.

You lost.

- Drink. - Come on.

- Continue. - Great.

- Come on. - You've drunk so much, Your Lordship.

Let's go back.

Come on.

- No. - Cheers.

- Come on. - A god stays in my home.

I've had too many drinks. I don't want to be a hassle

and receive his contempt.

- I'll pour for you. - Your Lordship, please go back.

No.

I won't.

General, what should I do?

Go home. I'll send Her Lordship back later.

Alright.

You really won't go back?

Really?

No, I won't.

Would you mind

staying at my residence tonight?

Okay.

- Continue. - Fill it up.

Fill it up.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Mofang.

I really wish to keep going like this.

Okay, let's go see the stars.

Let's go.

Let's go watch the stars.

Go.

Go.

Where are we going to watch the stars?

The roof of my house.

Why are you still up,

standing here at this late hour?

You scared me.

The moon in the Immortal Realm is enchanting tonight,

so I came out to watch it.

Hasn't your lord returned home yet?

So you're waiting for Her Lordship.

Her Lordship won't return tonight.

She's a little drunk

and has gone to stay at General Mofang's mansion.

You can talk to Her Lordship

after she returns tomorrow.

Aren't you leaving?

Y-Y-Yes.

I'll go out to the streets for some fresh air.

Why is His Excellency

getting weird?

(I drank too much!)

(I'm watching the stars with my subordinate)

(on his house's roof!)

(If this gets out,)

(it would sound too intimate.)

(But I just climbed up. It doesn't feel right to go down now.)

Your Lordship, can you see the stars?

The miasma here has greatly reduced.

But

I still can't see the stars.

But I can see them.

Why?

My hands can wield a spear,

but they can't embroider.

How can the owner of such hands

deserve such treatment from you?

For me, it should be asked the other way around.

How can you not,

Your Lordship?

To me,

your Red Plume Spear

is like an embroidery needle,

and you've embroidered

a splendid tapestry on the land of our realm.

Well said, Mofang.

Aren't you usually a dull talker?

You're actually talented.

I'm telling

the truth.

That's exactly what you do.

So of course you deserve my heartfelt devotion.

No.

Still no.

I know

my place,

so I won't have unrealistic thoughts.

I just wanted to convey my feelings to you.

Mofang,

status doesn't matter.

It's just that...

Well, ShenLi,

you're such a double-dealer.

You've gone too far.

Should you go inside to avoid him?

Why?

Did you forget what I told you today?

I've warned you before, Furong.

Don't bother my general again.

You really don't learn your lesson.

Do you believe I'm going to beat you up again?

Your Excellency, look. This is how she treats me.

How can I marry her?

(Was he standing there to listen)

(when we were chatting?)

(What a sneaky man!)

Do you Diviners have a habit of eavesdropping?

Coming uninvited, is this how you do it in the Divine Realm?

In the dead of night, a lone man and a single woman

gazing at the stars on the roof.

Is this the etiquette of you Immortals?

Watching the stars?

I don't even see any.

ShenLi, you...

You want to kill me?

Since you are already blind,

let me help you remove these useless things. Isn't that good?

Your Excellency, look! How dare she?

I mustn't marry her.

Why don't you

accept General Mofang's affection?

If the two of you are indulging in romantic sentiments today,

I shall give you my blessing.

You've been unwilling to cancel

our engagement for a reason,

so you didn't mean that, right?

Why are you angry?

You betrothed me to him,

and you've been helping it along.

Your Excellency, please don't

talk nonsense

to make everyone uncomfortable.

Furong,

let's make things clear today.

Our marriage concerns both realms.

It must be finished.

No matter what tricks you play,

it's all futile.

Why not return to the Divine Realm to eat good meals

before our wedding when you still have time?

I was joking just now.

- You took it too seriously. - I am a serious person.

Your Excellency, please don't joke with me.

The seal of the Xutian Abyss has been restored,

and the Earth Diviners' matter has been reported back.

An ancient god

cannot always linger in the Immortal Realm, right?

(He should return to his place)

(and continue to detachedly watch)

(the world change)

(and time pass by.)

(To him, all things in the Three Realms)

(are but trivial matters.)

Fine.

I'm done here.

Furong,

tell Youlan to go back

to the Divine Realm with me tomorrow.

I've stayed for too long

in the Immortal Realm this time.

It is time to return.

Your Excellency.

Let me bid you and General Mofang

farewell today.

We may not see each other again.

Take care.

(Will we never see each other again?)

Your Excellency,

why did you come here today?

I came for Furong.

He brought you lots of trouble

in the Immortal Realm this time.

I'm sorry about that.

After I return to the Divine Realm,

I will report what I've seen

to the Heavenly Lord.

After you...

After you marry Furong,

I'm sure he won't be so presumptuous as he is now.

No, please.

The poison within you

isn't completely detoxified.

Go to bed early.

(This is the power of gods.)

(With a wave,)

(he can dispel the pervasive miasma.)

(But under the stars,)

(it is the shadow of people.)

It's good that he's gone. Out of sight, out of mind.

Your Lordship,

Lord Xingzhi

left behind such a pretty starry sky.

Are you still going to watch?

No.

(I won't pine for it if I don't know)

(how beautiful it is.)

Thank you for your time.

I think I should return to my residence.

(Saying I could separate Xingyun from Xingzhi clearly.)

(How could I?)

(Even if I could before,)

(I can't now.)

(But now,)

(neither Xingzhi nor Xingyun stays.)

(What does it matter if I can tell or not?)

(What does it matter if I can hold back my feelings or not?)

(After all, I'll forget it sooner or later.)

(It's just a matter of time.)

(Lord Bicang's Mansion) Are you really not going to take a look?

That's quite a sight outside.

Her Holiness is said to be personally seeing off Lord Xingzhi and the others.

All the officials are there too.

Your Lordship,

you don't seem to be suffering from a hangover.

Why not go take a look?

When did it eat last time?

Its mouth has been tightly shut since returning

from the Palace in the Immortal Realm.

Is it going to die?

His Excellency did this to me, Your Lordship.

His Excellency is a bad man.

He did this to me,

Your Lordship.

How did he do it to you?

He made me pluck my feathers, Your Lordship.

He said it himself.

He cast a spell on me.

He is not a good person.

A scoundrel.

Please stand up for me, Your Lordship.

So Lord Xingzhi

remembers everything.

He even bullied a little bird.

Your Lordship, help me take revenge.

It's something Lord Xingzhi would do.

- Farewell, Your Excellency. - Farewell, Your Excellency.

Finally, he has left.

ShenLi.

ShenLi!

♪As it was initially said♪

What is the matter?

Something's off with the Water Immortals in the North Sea.

Just now, the generals

recommended some people

for the investigation.

You choose one as the commander.

This time, it's not to start a war

but to give

the rookies a good training opportunity.

Since it's a recon mission,

we should choose a meticulous general.

General Mofang is detail-oriented and good at strategy.

How about we have him lead the troops?

Do any of you have objections?

Then

that's it for today.

Everyone, you may leave.

- ShenLi. - (I guess I'm getting scolded today.)

You stay.

You played

this game so terribly.

You got flustered

when your move failed.

It's not like you at all.

Ever since Furong left,

I've noticed

you've been restless.

You've misunderstood.

Then that would be good.

Lately, I've been feeling tired

and don't want to go out.

The Divine sent an invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Go on my behalf.

Anyway, don't disgrace our realm.

After all, you will live there after your wedding.

It's a good thing

to take a look at the place.

- Your Holiness... - Stop. This is an order.

(The Divine Realm...)

(Forget it.)

(He probably won't be there.)

(Hasn't he always been)

(in the Extranatural Heaven all this time?)

(He must have been back there by now.)
