EPISODE 30 BEIYUAN VILLA

BEIYUAN VILLA

Your Majesty, don't you like these?

You don't like these, either.

I'll collect some other gadgets.

I'll take these away first.

Leave them here.

Timid.

Coward.

What is this?

Your Majesty. This is a dragon scale.

Dragon scale?

It's a gift given from an immortal who herds deer.

Immortal?

Male immortal or female immortal?

Male immortal.

There are no dragons in this world.

I think you are being cheated.

No way.

I have seen him several times.

He's absolutely an immortal.

You have seen him.

How many times have you seen him?

Why are you so tense?

No, I'm not.

Your Majesty, if you don't believe me,

I can summon him.

It's forbidden. It's forbidden from now on.

I have already decreed

that all the necromancers must be expelled throughout the country.

Don't break the national law.

Yes.

Books say that the only place on a dragon,

to find a crescent-shaped scale, is under the throat,

but the dragon will die if it is cut out.

And it will get angry if its forbidden scale is touched.

What dragon would let others touch it?

And who is crazy enough to pull it out?

This liar didn't even put in any effort in making dragon scales.

Fortunately, you believe him.

You are right.

Since that's the case,

then please give it back to me, Your Majesty.

Since you said it is a dragon scale, I'll consider it as a dragon scale.

I think it matches me very much.

You may as well give it to me.

No.

My friend is an immortal.

He kindly gave it to me.

It would be inappropriate for me to give it to you.

Here you are.

Little turtle.

You didn't give me the dragon scale, but I am not as stingy as you are.

Here you are.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Do you think it looks like you or not?

Yes.

Like me?

Really?

-Yes. -It's impolite not to reciprocate.

You didn't give me the dragon scale, but I gave you a little turtle.

You must give me something else in return.

What do you want, Your Majesty?

Actually, I don't want anything else.

What I really want is only one thing.

What is it?

Think about it.

Let me see.

This forbidden scale

has become my lifelong wound and pain.

Stop. Stop. You are not my son.

Go away.

Go away, please.

Go.

Your Highness, you don't have to restrain your feelings.

If you need someone as a companion, I'll stay.

If you want to be alone, I'll leave.

I am fine.

I just recalled some things that happened in my childhood.

Have you recalled them all?

Just some fragments.

All those are some timeworn nightmares.

I remember that

I lived with my mother in Taihu Lake when I was young.

I thought I was a weird-looking carp.

I had always been bullied by other children from the Water Family.

-Get lost. -You're a monster with horns on your head.

-Go away, little bastard. -Get out of Lize Pond.

My father is a dragon. My mother is an arowana.

How can I become a carp?

One day,

I couldn't bear it anymore.

I didn't expect that that rebellion would make me suffer so much.

Mom, please don't.

Mom.

Mom, please don't.

Mom, please don't.

Mom, please don't.

No, please.

Be good, Li. No. Be good. It just takes a little while.

Just a little while.

-Be good. -No. No.

-Be good. It just takes a little while. -Mom, please don't.

No. No.

My clothes

were all dyed red by my own blood.

My clothes would be dyed red by my blood again and again before they became dry.

Since I was born,

I had been hidden by my mother at the darkest place at the bottom of the lake,

living in darkness everyday.

Do you know what I feared most at that time?

Your scales being pulled out,

and your horns being cut off?

Darkness?

Loneliness?

It's the cold.

The biting chill, after the loss of blood,

pierced into my my entrails and bones,

bit by bit.

Do you know how it feels when the chill reaches the utmost limit?

It was like my body was burning.

It seemed that my entrails and bones

were boiling and burning,

anxious to burn up the only residual heat left in my body,

and run out of my last drop of blood.

I still feel extremely cold when thinking of this.

Don't think about it anymore, Your Highness.

You'd be better to forget this kind of sad history.

Kuanglu,

although you are my servant,

you are the Immortal Taisi's beloved daughter.

You grew up with many luxuries.

But, I...

am just an illegitimate son who was abandoned by his biological mother.

Why did you bring him here?

Mom, it's my fault.

I'm just afraid that you may do something

that you will regret in the future.

Answer me.

Are you on my side or not?

Answer me.

Answer me. Answer me.

Answer me.

Mom, you saved my life.

You taught me magic.

You raised me up.

Mom, please don't bear your worries alone any more.

Let me share your worries.

Since you miss His Highness every day,

why not tell him you are his mother.

It's painful to look back on the past.

It's painful to look back on the past.

I'm a princess of the Arowana Family.

Although my family belonged to the Heavenly Realm,

we settled in Taihu Lake.

We lived a well-off, peaceful and honorable life.

I had been loved by my father and my brother since my childhood.

I was engaged with the son of Lord Qiantang.

One year, on Heavenly Empress's birthday,

I went to Heavenly Realm with my father in order to celebrate her birthday,

and present the Luminous Pearl to her.

At that time, I was still young,

disinclined to engage in social activities.

Besides, I was attracted by the splendid sights in the Heavenly Realm.

While I was lingering on,

I lost my way and stepped into the Xingjing Court.

I met an immortal by chance.

He said he was the Night Immortal

and that his nickname is Lord Beichen.

He said he was on duty in Xingjing Court.

This person was knowledgeable and elegant.

We hit it off.

After that, we met at dusk every day.

The time spent with him was always wonderful and short.

It passed swiftly.

In a blink of an eye,

we spent time together for more than ten days.

You must write in the way

that is against your intention.

Calligraphy follows the rules of changes,

which is full of abnormal cases.

You have to feel it with your heart.

As the poem goes,

"Under the moonlight, mermen weep their pearly tears down in the green sea;

the warm sunshine makes Liantian Jade smoke."

Everyone knows Heavenly Emperor kept on with the Floral Immortal.

I didn't expect that he also...

The Floral Immortal is his lifelong fatal love.

When he was young, he gave up the Floral Immortal

and married the present Heavenly Empress in order to get power.

But it's impossible for him to really let go of the Floral Immortal.

Many years later, I finally realized that he lured me

just because I looked like Zifen a little bit.

He was just looking for Zifen in me.

Catalpa grows in regions south of the Yangtze River;

Fragrance and beauty arise from the catalpa in blossom.

I'm an arowana, not a plant.

Clever devil.

Suddenly a beauty derived from a red shark bead appears with the sound "susu."

I will never ever let her leave.

I lived in the Heavenly Realm with my father for more than a month.

After visiting the various immortals, I was going to return to Taihu Lake.

On the night before the day I left, I looked for him,

wishing to say goodbye.

But he disappeared completely.

After several inquiries, I realized that

there was no Night Immortal in the Heavenly Realm at that time.

And there was no

Lord Beichen at all.

Unfortunately, the date of return came.

I went to say goodbye to the Heavenly Empress with my father.

But I didn't expect

that the Magic Fireballs the Heavenly Emperor had given me

would cause troubles and mishaps in the future.

Shortly after I returned to Lize Pond,

I found out that I was pregnant with his baby.

I secretly gave birth to Runyu,

but the truth would inevitably be revealed.

My father finally found out that I gave birth to a baby.

Good boy.

Father.

Father.

-Father. -A dragon.

My father knew who his biological father was at a glance.

At that time, I finally knew the true identity of Lord Beichen.

I promised my father

that I would conceal my baby's birth,

and that I wouldn't trouble the members of our family.

Evil creature.

From now on, you are no longer the princess of the Arowana Family.

So shameless!

He only cared about his love affairs and enjoyment,

and let you bear the consequences alone.

I brought the trouble on myself,

so it was okay that I bore the consequences alone.

Seeing this happen,

my father knew he was in the wrong.

So he initially canceled the engagement between me and the son of Lord Qiantang

and apologized again and again.

But unexpectedly, Lord Qiantang was very ill-tempered.

He just wouldn't let it go. Shortly after this,

he told on my father to the Heavenly Realm

with the claim that my father failed to keep the engagement.

Shortly after this, the Heavenly Emperor gave the punishment.

He confiscated all of Taihu Lake,

which covered an area of 36,000 hectares,

and gave it to the Bird Family.

He took away Taihu Lake

mostly in order to to please Heavenly Empress, the jealous woman.

Yanyou, you are still young.

At the time, I was young, too.

I didn't dare to think the worst of people.

But later,

when my son and I were in various dangers,

he never came to protect us.

He even didn't show up or say anything.

I didn't realize until then

that I had fallen into a well-designed scheme,

and the worst result

would be the enmity between Taihu Lake and Qiantang Lake,

and that the southeast water system falls apart.

Making use of the Bird Family, the Heavenly Emperor

started to take control over the most affluent part of the waters,

Taihu Lake, which is 800 miles in circumference.

Also, the Water Immortal's power was also weakened,

who had supported him as Heavenly Emperor,

and was the most important official in the Heavenly Realm.

He killed three birds with one stone.

His sophistication and viciousness are unprecedented.

According to Heavenly Empress's order,

the birds hovered over Taihu Lake every day,

spying on us.

But at that time, the Heavenly Empress didn't know that

I secretly gave birth to Runyu.

In order to conceal my son's birth,

to protect him from being killed by the Heavenly Empress,

and to make the members of my family treat my son equally,

I named him Li,

disguised him as a carp, and hid him at the bottom of Lize Pond.

We two lived

in dishonor alone.

Li.

I didn't expect that one day

he wouldn't be able to hide himself anymore.

Li.

-Li. -Mom.

-Mom. -Li.

Mom. Mom.

-Mom. -Li.

Mom.

-Back off. -Yes.

-Mom. -Li.

-Li. Li. -Mom.

Li.

Li.

Li. Li.

Who is he?

He is the son of mine and the Heavenly Emperor.

Retreat.

Mister Immortal, Elder Yinque asked us to check

if there was anything abnormal at the bottom of the lake.

If we goes back without checking,

I am afraid that we won't be able to justify ourselves.

Since when do we have to justify our actions to the Bird Family?

The space above Taihu Lake belongs to the Bird Family,

but the affairs under the lake

are none of the Bird Family's business.

You are right, Mister Immortal.

I have made a careful check.

There is nothing abnormal

about the ripples in the lake.

The tide rises because the full moon period is coming.

If Heavenly Emperor asks about it, you can reply to him like this.

Yes.

Take good care of your child.

If the Heavenly Empress finds out about him,

she won't let it go easily.

Taihu Lake can't afford any more mishaps.

Mom, please don't. Mom, please don't.

-I know I did wrong. -Who taught you the tiding magic?

Answer me.

Who taught you this?

What tiding magic?

They beat me too hard.

I was so angry that I shouted.

Promise me that you won't shout again.

Promise me. Promise me. Promise me.

Promise me.

Why are they always laughing at me,

insulting me and bullying me?

Is it right that I can never fight back or shout,

even if they are going to beat me to death?

Is it true that you want me to die, mom?

Li.

Li. I'm sorry.

I'm going to cut off your horns and shave off your scales.

I just hope you can become an ordinary fish.

You can be a fancy carp, a red Arowana, or any other kind of fish.

You can't afford to be a dragon.

Your grandpa, your uncle, me and all the living beings of Lize Pond

can't afford this, either.

At that time, I gave birth to my child without getting married.

I was regarded as the shame of my family.

I was utterly isolated.

And I had to be on guard against the informers of the Heavenly Empress,

preventing them from hurting my son.

And because of being cheated by Taiwei,

I was resentful to his son.

I both love and hate Li.

I was spaced out every day, anxious to commit suicide.

You must have suffered a lot.

It was a hard time for you, foster mother.

No.

The one who suffered a lot was Li.

His self-healing ability is very strong.

His new horns and scales would grow shortly after the old ones were removed.

So he had to bear the torture

over and over again.

For him, to live was no better than to die.

Later,

Li did this by himself.

It's too much suffering.

Every day,

I was anxious to die.

When I grew up a little bit,

able to completely make my body human-like,

I rarely show my real body to others.

The scars under the scales

are ugly and humiliating.

It's really unbearable to look at them.

Thank you.

Later,

I learned from an old black carp by chance

that fish can't live without water.

On that evening, I made up my mind

and jumped out of the water.

The fish on the shore can fly.

There are so many night pearls in the sky.

So beautiful.

It's worth dying in this way.

Fairy?

Am I dead now?

Are you coming to take me to heaven?

Do you really want to go to heaven?

It's too painful to stay in the lake.

As long as I don't have to stay under the lake,

I am willing to go anywhere.

But if you are gone, what will your mother do?

Poor child.

Come to heaven with me, okay?

If I leave, will my mother stop being sad?

As long as you listen to me and go with me,

you won't have to suffer anymore.

What about my mom?

Your mom will also feel relieved.

Give me your hand.

It turned out that she did not abandon me.

I...

I left her.

The things that happened later are well known.

The Heavenly Emperor kept on with the Floral Immortal.

He took her to the Heavenly Realm against her will,

and kept her under detention in Qiwu Palace.

At that time,

the rumor about making the Floral Immortal

become the new Heavenly Empress made a great clamor.

In order to maintain her status, the Heavenly Empress

went to Taihu Lake in person,

set fire to Lize Pond,

and took away my Li.

Zhenze.

Your Majesty.

We have no enmity against each other.

Why are you pressing so hard?

You killed my son and all the members of my family.

Because you didn't teach your daughter well.

She's promiscuous,

ruining the purity of our royal blood.

I won't tolerate your family.

You are a villain holding sway.

I swear

our family will fight against your Bird Family,

even if there is only one member left in my family.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Go. Hurry.

Father, I'm not leaving.

I... I...

forgive, forgive you.

Live... live...

live on.

Father.

Father.

You killed my father and brother and took away my son.

I'm going to perish with you.

An overconfident sprite.

Destroy this place.

Kill all of them.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Where am I?

My face?

What happened to my face?

-You're awake now. -Mister Immortal.

Where am I?

It's the Yunmeng Pond of Dongting Lake.

Why am I here?

Shouldn't I be in Lize Pond now?

When I got there,

the place was in ruins.

Father.

Li. You both are gone.

Why do you leave me alone in this world?

Mister Immortal, please don't stop me.

I have no home and all my family is dead.

I'm desperate.

I just want to be reunited with my family as soon as possible.

Please don't stop me, Mister Immortal.

Don't you even care about your child?

Li.

Li.

Where is Li?

He is still alive.

He was taken to the Heavenly Realm by the Heavenly Empress.

What are they going to do to him?

Don't worry.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor.

And the Heavenly Empress has her own child.

Anyway, they will treat him well.

You are his mother.

No one in the world can separate you two.

As long as you are alive,

you will meet him again one day.

Will that day come before I die?

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

It's better to live with hope than to live in despair.

You are not me, Mister Immortal.

How can you understand my sadness?

If I insist on committing suicide?

Everyone will die one day.

In the first place, we should avoid humiliating our ancestors.

Second, we should avoid dishonoring our bodies.

This is the Draconis Sanguis Tissue Regenereation Cream from the Floral Realm.

It can remove necrosis and promote regeneration of the tissue.

The Arowana Family has always been respectable and morally upright.

If you really want to die,

you should die decently.

I don't need it.

I don't need it.

It's because of my face that my home was destroyed and my family was killed.

I am the chief culprit.

I am...

I am the chief culprit.

I am.

Even without you,

he would have found a way

to drive the Arowana Family out of Taihu Lake.

What do you mean, Mister Immortal?

The emperor's means.

You will understand it in the future.

God takes pleasure in the welfare of all living things.

The news about your death has spread throughout the Heavenly Realm.

Why bother to die one more death?

Cheer up and live well.

One day, your child will be reunited with you.

Dongting Lake is under my jurisdiction.

This place is still beyond the Heavenly Empress's power.

Heal your wounds here.

The Water Immortal

was also under the suspicion of the Heavenly Emperor at that time.

I think he was busy enough with his own affairs.

Under such high pressure,

he still chose to prevent you from being found without hesitation.

He's really admirable.

Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.

At that time,

I was indulged in my own hatred.

I didn't remember at all

that the Heavenly Emperor detained the Floral Immortal,

and forced her to break up with the Water Immortal.

At that time, the anger and pain of the Water Immortal

were no less than mine.

He's a real gentleman.

Since the Water Immortal granted a boon to you,

why did you make use of Jinmi?

When I glanced over

the beauty atlas by chance,

which you collected frivolously,

I found that Jinmi looked just like the Floral Immortal.

I guessed she was the Heavenly Emperor's daughter.

So I wanted to show her identity in front of the fairies

at the birthday banquet of the Heavenly Empress.

I believed that Tuyao wouldn't let it go easily.

She must bear a grudge against Taiwei.

Maybe in this way,

my family would be able to stage a comeback.

I see.

But Jinmi is the Water Immortal's daughter.

Later, when Rat Fairy mentioned this to me,

I realized that

I had nearly done a big misdeed against the Water Immortal.

Jinmi and I are close friends. I will explain this to her later.

She values affection and righteousness. So she will understand you, mom.

Nowadays, I have no other choice.

Everyone thinks I died at Lize Pond.

I have hidden myself here for several thousand years,

merely to fulfill the wish that my father made on his deathbed.

Even if there is only one member left in my family,

we will take the responsibility of destroying the Bird Family as revenge.

As the last remaining princess of the Arowana Family,

I take my responsibility firmly.

In that year,

I read many classic magic books at the Xingjing Court.

In order to take revenge, I started to practice hard.

No matter if the magic was black or white,

I would practice them

as long as they could improve my power.

I recalled our previous subordinates and recruited new ones.

I made Yunmeng Pond look exactly like Lize Pond

in order to express my grief and to remind myself to take revenge.

We, the soldiers of the Arowana Family, will follow your lead, Your Highness.

We will follow your lead, Your Highness.

No wonder His Highness could be so familiar with

this place and came here without guidance,

even though he had never come here before.

By the way, Foster Mother, you only stayed at Xingjing Court

for one month.

How can you remember so much magic?

What do you think Rat Fairy did in the Heavenly Realm?

Play chess with the others?

The Heavenly Empress took away my son and killed my family members.

This is a deadly feud.

I have thought it over in these years.

The most radical revenge

is to make Runyu become the Heavenly Emperor

and take the lead over the Heavenly Realm.

Maybe we will succeed in the fight for power and position. But we may fail.

There are so many possible changes.

If we make any mistakes, we will be damned to perdition.

We can't involve him in our fight

until we are assured of our victory.

Parental love is really the greatest love.

Sure enough, His Highness is mom's biological son.

Yanyou, you are a good boy.

You will help me, right?

Sure enough, I am just mom's adopted son.
