=The Legend of ShenLi=

=Episode 39=

Li.

Have you ever felt

something incompatible

between us?

Not at all.

We're inseparable like yin and yang.

Really?

Look at you.

You don't have a trace of softness in you.

I'm saying.

You're yin, I'm yang, and together we're in harmony.

A perfect match.

If you put it like that,

it's not bad.

I bet it's someone from the Immortal Realm.

Do Lord Bicang and Lord Xingzhi live here?

I'm the maid of Ms. Jin from North Snowy Mountain.

Ms. Jin?

I thought

she fell in love with

a mortal cultivator

and has been troubled for years.

Why did she send someone

to look for us?

Greetings, Your Lordship.

My lady sent me to deliver an invitation.

Invitation?

Is it for her birthday?

She must be tens of thousands of years old.

(Invitation)

A wedding?

That's right.

With that mortal cultivator?

Next month? So sudden.

Our lady specifically told me

to remind you to bring

the star from the Extranatural Heaven

that you owed her.

I shall take my leave.

Okay, thank you.

The place has collapsed.

Where can we find her a star?

Can't we just give her any random rock?

That's not nice.

After all, it is her wedding.

It's a rare event.

ShenLi, let me ask you.

Do you know what it's like

to hold the star of the Extranatural Heaven

in your hands?

No, I don't.

That's it.

Just give her a rock

and tell her it was from the Extranatural Heaven.

She doesn't have anything to compare it with.

She'll surely

be thrilled.

It's not about that.

Don't you feel guilty about it?

Do I?

Don't you?

Never mind, forget it.

Can you handle

the cold of the snowy mountains?

My divine power is much diminished,

but still,

this is the body of a former god.

You should know

that I've recovered.

But you can't ride the clouds.

We must hurry and set off.

It's been so long. I do miss her.

But she's getting married.

Don't you find it hard

to link Ms. Jin

to the word "marriage"?

I see her

as a woman who remains aloof from the mundane world.

How can she be linked with something so worldly?

Think from another perspective.

How much courage would it take

to cast aside one's life, accept another person,

and even change

one's way of living?

I thought you were in good health.

Why would I be dressed in layers then?

You think it's fun?

Come on.

I'm cold. Won't you offer some warmth?

So insensitive.

I can't walk like this.

You have no choice.

It's so cold, Li.

Is it that cold?

It's cold.

It's cold.

Sister.

Ms. Jin.

Sister, you're finally here.

It's been years

and you make me envious the moment you arrive.

I suddenly feel so cold.

Fine, it's my fault.

I was in a rush, okay?

Why is your inner energy so weak?

I guess I've been too busy.

It's alright.

His Excellency doesn't look as robust as before.

It's freezing outside.

Let's not stay here.

I'll take you inside.

Hurry up.

You haven't visited for such a long time.

I've missed you terribly.

Well, we're here now.

Stay for a few more days.

Ms. Jin, check out my treasure.

I'm not interested.

Don't look at me that way.

I'm about to get married.

My husband will be jealous.

Wait, Ms. Jin.

Are you really getting married?

I've been doing business here every day.

But I've never seen your husband. Where is he?

That's right.

Don't tell me he doesn't care about you.

I've hidden him away

from a folk person like you.

I have honored guests today. I won't talk business.

You may leave.

But...

It's your fault! Watch it!

You took someone by force?

I came for nothing.

Let's go.

It was just a bit of coercion.

He and his sect members were injured.

I promised to save them

to have him marry me.

I didn't exactly

force him, right?

Besides,

I think that

he is into me.

(I heard on the way here that)

(she'd been pursuing him for over a decade,)

(but he never gave in.)

(He must be very stubborn,)

(proud and dignified.)

(But he's getting coerced.)

(Is he really into her)

(as she said?)

You did well.

I bet he likes you.

Otherwise, he wouldn't agree to marry you.

Anyway, in my opinion,

you'd better make him yours now

lest things change.

Good point, Your Excellency.

Take this millennia-old snow fox's fur coat.

It's much better than your coat.

Then I will take it.

Take it.

Your room is ready.

Come on, let me explain everything.

- My lady. - What's wrong?

Mr. Mu coughed again.

Wait for me in the room.

How do you know that man likes Ms. Jin?

I don't.

Why do I care if he likes her or not?

Let her pester that man.

It's better than letting her bother you.

You are mine.

Here, put it on.

Selfish.

Shameless.

Zichun, get up.

Are you not feeling well?

(Mu Zichun)

Are you showing concern for me?

I'm truly delighted.

Don't flatter yourself.

You told me that

you sent my sect members away

because they were cured.

Would they

be having issues like me?

Zichun,

I'm used to being alone.

Thus, I don't explain things to others.

Nor do I lie.

But I seem to make all the exceptions for you.

Your sect members' injuries

may be tricky for mortals,

but not for me.

I said they were cured.

So they were cured.

That's it.

There is nothing I can do

if you don't believe me.

Staying in is not good for you.

It's sunny outside today.

Rest for a while

and come out for a walk.

My lady, are you alright?

I'm fine.

We have guests today.

Our lady welcomed them in person.

Our lady rarely pays so much attention

to someone.

I caught a glimpse from a distance.

That man was very charming

and way more attractive

than the one in our yard.

What an aura.

I heard that

he was quite close to our lady.

Really?

It seems that our guy has upset our lady again.

It happens every other day.

Our lady's patience will be worn out.

And with this guest here,

will the wedding take place?

We can't possibly

guess what our lady is thinking.

I took care of that evil energy and saved him

out of a moment of kindness.

And that gave me

these annoying mortal feelings.

Put the tripe in there.

So you saved him.

Then, he should be

fond of you,

not the other way around.

Yeah. Right?

He should have been fond of me first.

That's what I thought.

But he's just a blockhead.

You're obsessed.

Maybe you don't like him.

Is that so?

Actually, I don't know.

I just wanted to tease him at first.

But the more he resisted,

the less I wanted to give up.

And just like that,

it's been twenty years.

At this point,

I don't know if it's an obsession or love.

Let's leave that aside.

It's been twenty years.

I should have won him over, anyway.

But this mortal is like a glacier.

I couldn't melt him with the True Samadhi Fire.

Yet, I've found his weak spot.

His sect ran into trouble.

Only then did I coerce him into marrying me.

Sister, my heart aches so.

The tripe is ready. Dig in.

Is he in love with someone?

Or

does he have a reason he can't be with you?

Has he ever mentioned anything?

Never?

You think everyone would have a reason

to remain emotionless like His Excellency?

She's right.

Not everyone

can be as enduring as I am.

You've become increasingly

shameless.

You flatter me.

Mu Zichun

was brainwashed by the teachings

of the mortal cultivators.

He insists that humans and demons are different.

He refuses to believe

that I'm just into him.

When I forced him to marry me,

he asked me seriously,

"What exactly do you want?"

I won.

What...

Come on.

Come on.

He asked me what exactly I wanted.

Didn't he see the rare treasures in my grand hall?

A mere mortal

had the nerve to ask me what I wanted.

But I didn't even get angry.

I just told him,

"My dear, I want you."

Isn't it very sweet?

But he answered with a serious face,

"Never serious. Talking nonsense."

Listen to what he said.

Then he turned around and left.

I was...

I was heartbroken.

Why don't you

see his dull reactions

as a type of

shy expression?

I have quite a lot of dealings with the Divine.

The Divine

who started as mortal cultivators

are mostly

dull, uninteresting,

and deeply repressed.

He might feel that

you were teasing him

and he couldn't do it to you.

So he ran away.

So in your opinion,

what is this man thinking?

He's not in love with someone.

Nor does he despise you.

What he can't let go

is just his stubbornness.

In that case, let's give it a try.

How?

He has been indifferent to you

for 20 years.

So he is used to accepting things.

Then take back everything

you have given him

and leave him with nothing.

Think about it.

What have you

given him over the years?

Let's take them back one by one.

(He's not really helping her, right?)

(He just finds it amusing.)

(So full of tricks.)

Excuse me.

I won again.

You must be cheating.

Did you hide something?

Come on, let me see.

How come you've never lost?

Again.

It seems like I never gave him anything

and yet it seems

I've given him everything I have.

Then take it back.

Be in love with

someone else for now.

Like whom?

It has to be me then.

No, I'll do it.

What are you looking at? You are mine.

Ms. Jin.

Feel free to love me.

What time is it?

I haven't checked on him today.

You do that every night?

He's injured.

Will he die?

Not really.

Then don't go.

Don't forget what we just said.

From now on,

take everything back

and leave him with nothing.

Not going tonight

would be winning the first battle.

Cheers.

Alright.

I meant to teach her husband a lesson,

but it turned out to cost me my wife.

It's so not worth it.

You were just toying with them.

How could I just watch you?

I would be so upset.

What should I do?

Our upright Lord Bicang has turned evil.

Ever since I met you,

I've started to turn evil.

Will it work?

Of course.

I know what it's like

to lose my love better than anyone.

Don't I?

(It was)

(such a rare night of peace.)

(She's been pestering me)

(ever since she brought me here.)

(Now I actually feel)

(so weird to be left alone for a day.)

(Even my heart feels empty.)

(She welcomed the guest in person.)

(Is he an old friend?)

(Are they very close?)

(What is he like?)

Ms. Jin.

These red plum blossoms

are truly delightful.

How come I didn't see

such beautiful scenery the last time I visited?

What a pity.

Li, why don't you

stay with me here if you like it?

Alright.

Zichun.

He is...

He is my fiancé.

Mu Zichun.

Zichun, this is Li.

(Who is this man)

(to Ms. Jin?)

Ms. Jin,

do you resent me

for leaving you ruthlessly back then?

We finally met

and you're already marrying someone else.

Can you feel

it trembling from the pain?

Li.

What are you talking about?

Zichun is here.

(I may have had doubts before,)

(but judging from that look,)

(I can put my mind at ease)

(and focus on this drama.)

If you're truly in love,

then so be it.

But I've heard that

this man doesn't

love you at all.

Why would you force it?

What does it have to do

with you, anyway?

Your remark is out of line.

Is that so?

In that case,

I shouldn't trust the rumors spread by the servants, huh?

In fact,

you do care about Ms. Jin?

It's none of your business.

Of course, it is.

This is the woman I love.

I won't let her

suffer the slightest harm.

If you do not truly love her,

I, ShenLi, won't give up on her.

Even if I have to do it by force,

I will snatch her

away from you.

Where have you been all these years?

Do as you wish.

Anyway,

I'm merely a prisoner.

Don't go.

Li.

Forget it.

This is too embarrassing.

Really? I find it quite effective.

Ms. Jin.

How about

we make a bet?

What's the wager?

I will make Mu Zichun

admit his love for you before your wedding.

Do you believe me?

I couldn't make him confess his love in 20 years.

But if

we were to bet,

I hope I could end up

utterly defeated.

It will surely

end up as you wish.

However,

if you lose,

what treasure will you give

to ShenLi?

Why did you disguise as a plum blossom here?

To not miss out on the fun.

You haven't changed at all.

So calculating.

Well, I think,

you've seen too many treasures

to fancy anything.

But I just

happen to have

an ancient jade pendant.

It can help

injured gods regulate their energy and recover.

His Excellency

wouldn't have fancied it in the past.

But now, it can be

a real treasure.

If you obtain this pendant and wear it all the time,

you may regain your divine power someday.

Really?

Why didn't you tell me?

I wouldn't hide it from you.

I was hiding it from His Excellency.

I shall do my best to get the treasure.

To settle this matter,

I shall play my part tomorrow.

You really

had fun and took advantage

of the situation.

Ms. Jin

suffers quite a loss.

But I think she's quite happy

to let us gain the advantage.

After all, she's the one

who benefits in the end.

You are yin

and I am yang today.

It feels

very much like

our good old days.

Li, are you used to it?

Yeah.

Li, do you like it?

Yeah.

Is that how you love Ms. Jin?

Li, who is this man?

Why is he so mean?

Don't overdo it.

I may not keep up.

I trust you.

How dare you playboy

claim that you won't let her suffer?

She's going to suffer

if she finds out about it.

Then,

she can suffer a bit.

You were lying to her.

That's right, I was lying.

So what? It's none of your business.

I'm a playboy. So what?

I was lying to her. So what?

Why do you care?

That's right.

I'm only after

her vast fortune.

I just want to trick her.

Once I obtain

all her gold and treasure,

I'll divorce her.

Right.

And you'll provide for me with her vast wealth.

That's right, I'll provide for you with her vast wealth.

What does it have to do with you?

I know you don't like her.

Good for you.

I will let you go

once I marry her.

Isn't that what you want?

Why are you upset?

You despicable man!

Stop.

How scary.

Don't be scared.

Do not fall for

someone like him.

Who should I fall for?

You?

I don't mind him wanting something.

At least, I have a chance.

He's better than those who desire nothing,

and offer me nothing.

You...

Do you know what you're doing?

What?

Falling for the wrong guy?

Isn't it what I've done with you?

What?

I'm only allowed to fall for you,

and not anyone else?

You were so reluctant.

Now that you've recovered

after so many years,

just leave.

I've been pestering you for years.

I'm tired of it.

I have finally

found a way out.

I will let you go.

Pack up your things

and go back.

You won't be pestered anymore.

It seems that

you are still deeply in love with me.

See?

I've made myself clear.

But he didn't react.

It seems,

Your Excellency,

you can't win the reward.

I'm going to win.

It's not for sure.

Ask your attendant

to pack his things and send them down the mountain.

Tell him that

you've found your destiny

and can't keep him here.

See if he agrees.

That won't do.

Ms. Jin worked hard to keep Mu Zichun around.

We can tell him to leave

but we can't throw him out.

Otherwise, her effort

would be in vain.

What do you think?

What can I think?

I've said everything I could say.

Let him go if he wants to.

I'm really tired.

I thought it would be nice

to force him to marry me.

But now that you've tested him,

I'm not so sure about it anymore.

If I really have to

spend thousands of years

with someone who doesn't

care about me at all,

then I might as well

just remain single

and enjoy my life alone.

I'll tell them to pack up his things

and kick him out.

They have feelings for each other.

But this mortal cultivator is too pedantic.

Are we going to let them part like this?

Do you think

I would let things

develop like that?

What are you up to now?

Just knock out

Ms. Jin in a while.

Why?

No more questions.

You don't need to comfort me.

What are you doing?

Helping you.

My lady! What did you do, Miss?

Your master

is killed by Lord Bicang.

The entire North Snowy Region

now belongs to Lord Bicang.

And you have

become her subordinates.

Why don't you run?

Our lady has been murdered.

Our lady has been murdered.

What are you trying to do?

Our lady has been murdered.

Our lady has been murdered.

- What happened? - Our lady has been murdered.

What happened?

Go! Get someone!

Our lady has been murdered.

Just grab

Ms. Jin's neck and once someone

comes to save her,

exchange a few moves with that person

and let him take her away.

Then we can

go home with the reward.

How do you know

things will go as you said?

I have been as annoying as him.

I'll grab her.

(I bet he was ready to be killed)

(when he fought for her.)

How are we going to

deal with the aftermath?

The aftermath?

Is that our concern?

Zichun.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I...

Are you hurt?

Rest assured, I will heal you.

I think Li only knocked me out.

I-I see what happened.

Zichun, don't be mad.

I didn't come up with this.

What I said still counts.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness.

My lady.

This is the star from the Extranatural Heaven

sent by Lord Bicang and Lord Xingzhi.

Congratulations.

Who wants their fake stone?

Leave it here.

Tell them that

this marriage

is the best gift they have offered.

I really appreciate it.

Also,

this jade pendant is my gift for them.

Understood.

Ms. Jin is married.

So happy.

Do you want

a wedding ceremony?

We haven't

had a wedding yet.

I used to find it

troublesome

and unnecessary.

But I watched the ceremonies

and suddenly felt that

it would be nice to

introduce my beloved one

to everyone I know.

Li.

Will you marry me?

I'll organize a wedding

blessed by a hundred thousand deities.

Alright, then.

But you'll need to hurry.

I won't look nice

in a dress with a belly.

It is so rare

to see you so stunned.

Li.

Master Shen.

Master Shen, wait for me.
