(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 7)

Although you may not have a good life after this,

you'll live.

You'll be safe and sound.

Take care.

Just like

I'd be willing to do it

if you want to be with me.

Return to the Spiritual Realm.

The mortal will die and forget his past life within 100 years.

Why waste 500 years of spiritual power for him?

I do what I like.

Five hundred years?

At most, it will only be a year or two before this mortal forgets you.

Your feelings will be in vain.

Is it worth it?

Shen Li.

It's time to eat.

Many things are not about whether they are worth it or not,

but only about whether you're willing to do them or not.

(Lord Bi Cang, Shen Li, disobeyed my order and fled to the Lower Realm.)

(She is to be confined to the Xueji Hall and not allowed to leave.)

We were ordered to come to lift Her Majesty's restraining order.

She confined me to Xueji Hall where the monsters were sealed.

And yet she called this a restraining order?

Is the bridal procession here?

Is that why she finally decided to let me out?

Not yet, Your Highness.

We still have a month to prepare for the wedding.

How long have I been confined for?

Her Majesty was lenient.

Your Highness was only confined for one month.

One month?

Thirty years.

You may leave.

I'll escort Her Highness back.

I shall take my leave.

Your Highness, take care.

I failed to assist in Your Highness' escape.

Please punish me.

Thank you for your efforts.

I know you must have tried your best.

You managed to buy me half a day.

It would have been enough for me to escape.

I just couldn't escape at that moment.

It's all my fault.

I failed your efforts.

Alright, get up.

Let's go home.

It's been a while since I slept in my own home.

Your Highness, that mortal has passed away in the Lower Realm.

Yes.

I guessed as much.

Did you see him when he passed away?

He had no worries, no fear, and was calm and serene.

That's for sure.

Because he is Xing Yun.

No matter how bad things are,

they are all just trifles in his eyes.

He must have been smiling.

Your Highness.

Do you want to continue searching for him?

No.

I only like Xing Yun.

It doesn't matter who he was before or who he will be in the future.

I will continue to live my life well.

Next.

Wait a moment.

(Lord Bi Cang's Residence, Spiritual Realm)

Your Highness, you're finally back.

I thought I was dreaming.

General Mo Fang told me, but I didn't believe it.

Tell Chef Li to prepare food.

- I'm hungry. - The food is ready.

Done.

General Mo Fang informed me that Your Highness is coming home today.

So, I prepared hot water and instructed the chef to prepare the meal.

Mo Fang is really thoughtful.

You've lost weight, Your Highness.

Is everything okay in the mansion when I wasn't around?

Yes.

There are only three people in our house, Zhang, Chef Li, and me.

We're all fine.

It's just that Xu Xu feels a bit lonely.

Your Highness.

You're back, Your Highness.

You're back.

You failed to escape, Your Highness.

You've been caught and married off, Your Highness.

Are you sad, Your Highness?

Your Highness!

You've been caught and married off.

Are you sad, Your Highness?

Your Highness!

You're the greatest in the Spiritual Realm, yet you got caught.

Isn't it embarrassing?

Your Highness!

Are you sad, Your Highness?

To be honest,

I haven't seen you without your feather.

Your Highness, you're joking with me again.

Enough, Xu Xu.

Leave it alone.

It can't escape.

It can't fly anyway.

Her Highness must have suffered a lot during her trip to the Lower Realm.

How did her mentality become this twisted?

(Lingxiao Hall, Immortal Realm)

Auspicious signs.

Is there a new overgod born in the Sky's Beyond again?

You're being ignorant, Lu Qing.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the last ancient god was born,

auspicious signs filled the Three Realms,

with flowers blooming and birds singing.

This is just a small commotion.

How can it be worthy of the birth of an overgod?

I think it's the Divine Lord Xing Zhi from the Sky's Beyond

whose cultivation has advanced again.

Speaking of which,

it's been a long time since I heard any news about Divine Lord Xing Zhi.

- Heavenly Lord. - Heavenly Lord.

Auspicious signs.

The Divine Lord must have returned.

- Come with me to greet the Divine Lord. - Yes, Heavenly Lord.

Shall we summon all the Immortal Lords?

The Divine Lord dislikes extravagance.

He hasn't informed the other gods about his descent to the Mortal Realm,

so we should also keep quiet.

Yes, Heavenly Lord.

Welcome back, My Lord.

Heavenly Lord, you don't have any official duties recently?

You've personally come to welcome me back.

Indeed, there hasn't been much official duties recently.

Indeed. The Immortal Realm seems relatively leisurely.

Heavenly Lord,

you can try to keep yourself busy.

Find something to do.

Sure.

My Lord, did your journey to the Mortal Realm go smoothly?

Smoothly...

Smooth as expected, as it should be.

Not really.

It's good to be a little bumpy.

Heavenly Lord.

I want to pay respects to the deceased gods alone.

It's good to be alone.

Goodbye, My Lord.

Also,

if anyone asks about my trip to the Lower Realm,

remember to deny it for me.

Sure.

Heavenly Lord, the Divine Lord's actions and behavior are rather puzzling.

The Divine Lord has his reasons.

Let's not pry too much.

Yes, Heavenly Lord.

It's good to be alone.

It's good to be alone.

(West Garden, Immortal Realm)

It's been a long time since I visited you all.

(Shen Guan Yue, Shen Luo Xing, Shen Ning Ying)

(Shen Qian Ji)

(Shen Qing Ye)

Now, only you remain in the Mortal Realm.

I was bored in the Sky's Beyond,

so I decided to go down the Lower Realm and become a mortal.

I wanted to cast aside everything

and just have fun.

But who could have expected that

the Mortal Altar would wash away all my divine power

but fail to erase my memory?

It backfired.

Nevertheless,

my journey to the Mortal Realm

wasn't entirely in vain.

I did meet

an interesting person.

But...

It ends there.

Golden Lock Box.

When I accepted it,

I thought in this life,

I've nothing left to hide.

(Lord Fu Rong's Residence, Immortal Realm)

- What is this? - Your Highness.

A messenger brought news from the Spiritual Sovereign,

saying that an envoy from the Immortal Realm

brought the design for the bridal attire and wanted you to choose.

Damn you!

Immortal Lord, please calm down.

Didn't she run away? Why bother with selecting a wedding robe?

Lord Bi Cang was brought back a month ago.

Isn't she good at fighting?

Yet at such a critical moment, she became useless.

Your Highness, during your time in the Mortal Realm and your confinement,

Lord Fu Rong from the Immortal Realm has caused quite a stir.

He even made a scene several times in front of the Heavenly Lord.

He threw tantrums and refused to marry you,

acting as though Your Highness wants to marry him.

That makes me feel a bit better.

(At least)

(the other person is as tormented by this marriage as I am.)

(Just the thought of it)

(makes me feel happy.)

Grandfather...

I am suffering.

Pay respect to Divine Lord Xing Zhi.

(Divine Lord Xing Zhi?)

(The only surviving ancient god?)

Greetings, My Lord.

He's a lively young man.

He's just a spoiled kid.

What's the matter with you now?

Grandfather.

Grandfather.

I can't marry Lord Bi Cang from the Spiritual Realm.

I have an illness, it will affect relations between the two realms.

You really don't take me seriously!

Tell me, what illness do you have?

What illness do you have? You can come up with any lie.

You're such a bore!

You're such a bore!

Let me tell you, the wedding date is set.

Even if your legs were broken, you'd still have to marry this woman.

Go on.

Go on.

Have mercy, Grandfather!

Lord Bi Cang is not willing to do so either.

She ran away from the marriage. If I marry her,

she'll vent all her anger on me.

I can't bear it.

You...

You...

You...

Heavenly Lord.

What's wrong?

My Lord, you were traveling around, so you may not know about this.

The Immortal and Spiritual Realms are discussing a marriage alliance.

These two youngsters are somewhat resistant to and fearful of this marriage.

But it doesn't matter.

Since it was your proposal and decision,

it's absolutely irreversible.

My Lord!

- Heavenly Lord, long time no see. - Long time no see.

Finally, I get to see My Lord leave the Sky's Beyond.

Where are you heading to?

To the Mortal Realm.

My Lord, I haven’t seen you in 1,000 years.

Why do you have to go down to the Mortal Realm as soon as you come out?

Is there something urgent?

Nothing.

I'm bored.

So, I want to have some fun.

Heavenly Lord, is there anything you'd like to tell me?

Yes.

The Immortal and Spiritual Realms are planning for a marriage alliance.

I was finalizing the candidates for this marriage

when the divine light suddenly appeared in the sky.

I then realized that you must be visiting the Immortal Realm.

It's such a coincidence.

So, I was thinking...

I was thinking of requesting My Lord

to decree this marriage union between the Immortal and Spiritual Realms.

The Spiritual Realm

has only one candidate.

It's the best warrior in the Spiritual Realm, Lord Bi Cang.

Sure.

Please wait for a while.

Quick.

- What is this? - These are the candidates from the Immortal Realm.

Choose one.

Number 33.

Fu Rong?

Fu Rong. Good.

She's the one. That's a nice name.

But Fu Rong...

Farewell, My Lord.

How could it be this kid?

This marriage

was decreed by you, Divine Lord Xing Zhi?

It seems so.

You've been living alone in the Sky's Beyond for countless years, right?

Do you even know who's who in the Immortal and Spiritual Realms?

How did you select the candidates?

Presumptuous!

My Lord, I'm really honored

that my marriage was decreed by you.

It's just that

I've never had any interaction with Lord Bi Cang.

But I heard that Lord Bi Cang has a silver spear and is very scary...

Very heroic!

I'm not ready to marry such a wife.

How dare you!

Bring me my Taxian Whip.

Heavenly Lord.

Spare him.

Since both of them are so resistant,

perhaps you can postpone the wedding to a later date.

Give the two of them some time.

If you force them to be together,

there might be bloodshed.

The wedding date has been set.

It might not be appropriate to suddenly postpone it.

Speaking of which, it's my fault.

At that time, I thought Lord Bi Cang, Shen Li, was a man

while Fu Rong was a lady.

One has a strong name and the other has a soft name. It sounds compatible.

But indeed, it was my mistake.

I shall help them ask for some time to recover.

It's also a way of showing consideration for the two youngsters.

Heavenly Lord, that's settled then.

It's up to you.

Thank you, My Lord.

(South Heavenly Gate, Spiritual Realm)

Your Highness, did it go well?

Yes.

But it's weird.

Since it's a mistake,

why not just call off the marriage?

Why bother postponing it?

"Lord Fu Rong is a female immortal."

He was indirectly insulting my name.

What did you say?

Never mind. I can have a few more days of fun.

Let's go to the Flowers Pond and see the Flower Fairy.

Your Highness?

(Xutian Abyss, Spiritual Realm)

Sir, I want two candied lotus seeds, the less sweet kind.

This is it.

The brothers' spiritual stones fell off.

I've been so busy, I forgot.

Madam, why don't you use spiritual power to get them directly?

It's been contaminated by miasma too many times.

There's no spiritual power anymore.

Goodbye.

Run!

That's miasma!

Run quickly!

- Madam, hurry! - Nuan!

Madam, hurry!

- Madam! - Nuan!

Madam!

Nuan!

This way!

It's my thing...

Mother.

Don't be afraid. Her Highness is here.

Yes, don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Your Majesty.

News has arrived from the border garrison.

There are disturbances in the Xutian Abyss.

While it may not be a major event,

the seal of Xutian Abyss has been as quiet as dead water for 1,000 years.

The unusual occurrences lately are inevitably alarming.

I request permission to investigate.

The occurrence in Xutian Abyss should not be underestimated.

Mo Fang.

You and Zi Xia will go together to investigate the border.

If anything goes wrong,

one person will stay behind while the other comes back to report.

Assist the garrison in handling matters.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm sent news

and requested to postpone the wedding.

How can they simply reschedule it?

So, it's the immortals who are calling the shots for this marriage?

Exactly! Why postpone it?

Her Highness has been aggrieved.

Is the wedding date entirely dictated by the Immortal Realm?

They're going too far!

This marriage concerns our spiritual realm...

That's enough!

Everyone can leave now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Shen Li.

You stay.

Is Her Majesty sick?

As you know,

Her Majesty was injured in a battle with the ghouls

and has been plagued by illness ever since.

Only within this palace can she properly recuperate.

Your Highness's recent trip to the Mortal Realm

prompted Her Majesty to pursue you personally.

You may leave now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Li.

Come here.

Master, your health...

I'm fine.

Do you know what these are?

Official affairs.

Some are petitions from generals pleading for your mercy,

while others are rebuttals from civil officials.

There are even more extreme ones

claiming to retaliate against the Immortal Realm.

It's been a month of

constant noise and fuss.

There's been no peace.

The civil and military factions have long had their differences.

This matter has only exacerbated them further.

This engagement

indeed causes you grievance.

But among the whole Spiritual Realm,

there isn't a better alternative candidate.

Li.

You must prioritize the overall situation.

Master.

If the Immortal Realm truly wishes to assist the Spiritual Realm,

they only need to send over an immortal lord to clear the miasma.

If that were the case,

even if the immortal lord's reputation were tarnished,

I would personally welcome them at the Ruoshui River.

But that Lord Fu Rong...

Lord Fu Rong,

with his name meaning "Lotus",

must be treating everyone equally.

He must be a man who is able to attract the attention of many women.

It surprised me that

you have such a thorough understanding of him.

It's not that I know him thoroughly.

It's just that Lord Fu Rong's reputation precedes him.

Even though I don't pay much attention to gossip, I've heard of him.

That's rare.

An immortal lord like that would hardly have the ability to clear miasma.

It's just a useless man sent from the Immortal Realm to placate us.

Li.

Are you blaming me

for agreeing to this marriage?

I dare not.

Do you know

who decided this marriage?

Apart from the Heavenly Lord, who else could it be?

There's also Divine Lord Xing Zhi.

The overgod who lives alone in the Sky's Beyond.

Your marriage

was decreed by him.

Divine Lord Xing Zhi left the Sky's Beyond?

He must've been even more bored than the Heavenly Lord's family.

Li.

The Heavenly Lord presented the roster to the Divine Lord

and asked him to decree the marriage.

The Divine Lord must have his reasons behind his action.

What reason could that be?

Divine Lord Xing Zhi was in seclusion in the Sky's Beyond for 1,000 years.

He probably can't even tell who is male or female between me and Fu Rong.

So, he just randomly picked two names.

Yet, those fools in the Immortal Realm took his words as divine prophecy.

It's ridiculous.

He decreed this marriage.

In that case,

it must be his intention to postpone the wedding.

He just sealed a few beasts in the Xutian Abyss,

yet he's acting so arrogantly.

He controls my marriage and even dictates to postpone the wedding date.

Does he think I, Shen Li, am a pushover?

Divine Lord Xing Zhi is a benefactor to the Three Realms.

- He singlehandedly... - Turned the tide of battle

by killing the demons and sealing the ghouls.

You've told me this countless times.

Then you should know that

his decision

deserves the utmost respect,

not only in the Immortal Realm but also in the Spiritual Realm.

Why?

He simply created the Xutian Abyss

and troubled the Spiritual Realm to guard the seal for 1,000 years.

And now he wants to continue kidnapping our clan through marriage.

Why should the Spiritual Realm obey the Immortal Realm

and be at its beck and call?

We have many brave warriors in the Spiritual Realm.

Instead of this, why not launch an attack on the heavens?

Shut up.

You speak of war so lightly.

Shen Li.

It only shows that you have never experienced a real war.

Go back. I kept you here to let you vent a little.

I didn't want you to stew in your anger.

I didn't expect

to make you feel even more frustrated and aggrieved.

I don't want to marry him.

Your Highness. Your Highness is back.

Your Highness, please look at me.

I'm too embarrassed to see anyone.

Your Highness, please take a look at me.

Your Highness.

Look at how bald I am now.

Your Highness, don't you feel sorry for me?

Where's your morality, Your Highness?

Where's your conscience, Your Highness?

You can't just torment me because you can't run away from the engagement.

What are you thinking?

Did you suffer a loss outside again, Your Highness?

- Your Highness. - Xu Xu.

Come here.

I'm coming, Your Highness.

Your Highness wants to help me recover, right?

Your Highness, you still have a conscience and morality.

What are you doing, Your Highness?

What are you doing?

Dirty.

Speaking of which, I have never seen you in the shower.

Rou Ya.

Prepare the water.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I'm coughing up blood, Your Highness.

Your Highness, please spare my life.

Your Highness, are you in a bad mood?

I want to see every part of yours.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Your Highness

What's the matter with Her Highness?

Your Highness, please spare my life.
