=Episode 35=

My Lady, the young master

has been refusing to eat and rest.

If this continues, her body might not be able to bear it.

Understood.

Leave us.

Yes.

A'nu.

Mother, you're here.

You can't be like this.

Apart from hurting yourself,

it's futile.

Isn't it just that Tang Yu killed Luojiao?

Anyway,

everyone will die sooner or later.

It's just a matter of time.

Don't say that.

Mother,

I'm really okay.

It's all my fault.

No, it's not.

It's my fault.

Luojiao and Mr. Shi

died because of me.

It's my fault.

It was me who believed him.

It's...

It's me who liked him.

Mother.

Feelings often

come suddenly and strongly.

They are true

when they come.

No matter who he is,

and no matter if he has deceived you,

your feelings for him

are real.

Child,

liking someone

has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Even if he betrayed you before,

never doubt

the beautiful moments

in your life.

My Lady,

my life is not important.

Please think of the bigger picture.

A'nu,

it's you.

Rest assured.

I will

eradicate the Moon Worship Sect,

kill Bai Yue,

kill Tang Yu,

and avenge General Gai

and Mr. Shi.

Mother,

I will personally kill him.

(Shuimu Residence)

Xiaoyao,

you're back.

Madam,

I found the puppet bug.

Thank Nuwa for her blessings.

Sorry to worry you

a few days ago.

Madam, I understand your intention,

and I will always remember it.

How is Ling'er?

Ling'er is fine now.

You don't need to worry.

Thank you, Madam.

I'll go refine the puppet bug now.

Xiaoyao,

you saw Jiang

at the Demon-Locking Tower, right?

May Mr. Jiang rest in peace.

He gave me this Seven-Star Sword

to help me defeat the King of Prison.

Right.

When Jiang

left the mountain,

he brought this Seven-Star Sword with him.

I stood at the gate,

watching him gradually disappear

into the sea of clouds.

But I never thought

from that moment on,

I'd never see him again.

Now I understand.

We can't always dwell on assumptions about the past.

We can't change the past.

We can only gain strength from it

and move forward.

Kid, you've improved a lot.

Sir,

after passing through the Rakshasa Ghost Cave,

I realized one thing.

What?

Death

is not the end,

but forgetting is.

This belongs to Mount Shu.

It should be returned to Mount Shu.

Jiang left it for you.

You should take it.

I'm getting older

and older.

It's time for me to go back.

Kid,

remember my words.

With a righteous heart,

the world is vast.

Sir, we shall meet again.

Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao!

Madam.

Ling'er is not doing well.

Ling'er.

Why are you so cold?

Ling'er,

why are you so cold?

Although she is unconscious,

she is still gathering her vital qi

to protect the fetus in her belly,

regardless of herself.

Fetus?

Madam,

you must be kidding.

How could Ling'er be pregnant?

Ling'er is not an ordinary person.

She is a descendant of the Deity Clan.

Being pregnant is not the same for her

as it is for ordinary people.

If you didn't know,

it's understandable.

Ling'er,

why didn't you tell me?

I'm such a jerk.

I knew nothing.

Madam,

you must have a way to save Ling'er.

Tell me.

I'll do anything

to save her.

Only the Qilin Horn can save her and her child.

Where is the Qilin Horn?

I'll go and find it.

The Qilin Horn belongs to the divine beast, Fire Qilin.

It's hidden in the Fire Qilin Cave,

half a day's journey south of the Rakshasa Ghost Cave.

Thank you, Madam.

Ling'er,

you wait for me here.

After going through hardships

and finally reuniting,

I won't let anything happen to you.

From now on, the three of us

will never be separated again.

Is the Fire Qilin

really hiding in this ice cellar?

This is the Fire Qilin?

Sorry.

I have to get the Qilin Horn.

(Mr. Qilin)

Old man,

are you alright?

Much better now.

Old man, it's your bead.

It's this little bead

that caused trouble for me.

Thank you so much, kid.

Old man,

are you

the Fire Qilin

that I saw just now?

That's right. I am the Fire Qilin.

Hurry and leave.

This is not a place for sightseeing.

Don't disturb my sleep.

Mr. Qilin,

my wife is seriously injured,

and the fetus is unstable.

Both their lives are at stake.

Please grant me the Qilin Horn

to save my wife and child.

Where did you hear about this secret prescription, kid?

It's impossible.

It's not that I'm stingy and won't give it to you.

It's just that the sacred medicine from the divine beasts

is something ordinary people can't bear.

Hurry back

and find a good physician in the mortal world.

But the Sacred Maid insisted

that only the Qilin Horn can save them.

The Sacred Maid?

Are you referring to the old woman

living in the small wooden house in Sacred Woods?

Exactly.

You're quite ordinary.

Is your wife a deity?

My wife is a descendant of Nuwa.

A descendant of Nuwa?

The Nuwa descendants I know

are old enough

to be your mother.

Sir,

my wife is in her prime.

She is the daughter of the Witch Queen of Nanzhao,

Zhao Ling'er.

Oh, so she's Qing'er's child.

I didn't know she already got married and gave birth to a girl.

How many years have passed

in the outside world?

Sir,

may I take the Qilin Horn?

Take it.

Sir, you're so generous.

I don't know how to repay you.

For hundreds of years,

the descendants of Nuwa

have needed this Qilin Horn for childbirth.

I'm used to it.

Take it back quickly.

This Horn will help Ling'er give birth smoothly

and help her transform

and recover her spiritual power.

Thank you, sir.

And

this Fire Spiritual Bead.

Take it as well.

It will be useful in the future.

Thank you.

She will be delighted to see the Fire Spiritual Bead

when she wakes up.

You're a good boy.

Ling'er

has chosen the right guy.

Unfortunately,

she may not be blessed enough to grow old with you.

Sir, what do you mean?

Since ancient times,

descendants of Nuwa have always ended up sacrificing themselves for their cause.

You mean

Ling'er...

Things are not the same as they once were.

Life and death are separated by vast distances.

It's fate,

hard to defy.

No.

It can't be.

It can't be.

I don't care about the past.

I won't let anything happen to Ling'er now.

You

should still prepare yourself.

Sir.

Sir!

Sir!

No matter what,

I must save Ling'er.

She's warmed up.

She's warmed up.

Let her rest properly.

With the Qilin Horn,

she and the baby will be safe.

Madam,

I want to stay with Ling'er.

Ling'er,

don't you like revolving scenic lanterns?

I'll make you one

that's even better and prettier.

It'll be ten times prettier than the one in Yangzhou City.

When it lights up,

it's like being in a sea of stars.

Wake up soon.

I want to take you to see it.

And in the future,

we'll live on Fairy Island.

I'll set up various revolving scenic lanterns

on the island.

I'll take you

and our child to see them every day.

What do you say?

What do you say?

Is that a good idea?

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Xiaoyao,

your heart is troubled.

What happened

at Fire Qilin Cave?

Mr. Qilin said

that since ancient times,

Nuwa descendants have always ended up sacrificing themselves for their cause.

Is this true?

What do you think?

I...

I don't know.

I've heard some things about Ling'er's mother,

so I...

I'm not sure.

Could Ling'er also...

Something came into being

before the universe was born.

Everything happens for a reason,

and the same thing happens

over and over again.

Everything

has its rules.

Why is there always injustice and bias in this world?

Why is there so much to fight against?

Why are there so many regrets?

This world

is like a mirror.

What you are

will be reflected.

Why is all this so,

and for what purpose?

All beings in this world

were created by Nuwa.

You might ask her.

Nuwa?

You might find your answer

at the Temple of Nuwa.

Tang Yu.

You still made the wrong choice.

Stop while you can.

Your schemes won't succeed.

Tang Yu,

every choice comes

at a cost.

It's been over half a month since Chief sent us here.

I wonder what's so important about guarding this old temple.

They say the Witch Moon Sect might cause trouble.

Maybe that's why.

What could go wrong?

It's been quiet these past few days.

I suddenly need to relieve myself.

I'm going to step out for a moment.

Be careful on your own.

Wait, I'll go too.

Goddess Nuwa,

I, Li Xiaoyao, am helpless,

implicating my wife

and our unborn child.

I pray to you

for their safety.

Goddess Nuwa

looks so much like Ling'er.

Li Xiaoyao.

Goddess Nuwa,

you know me?

Everything

has its cause and effect.

Go.

Where are you sending me?

Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess...

Who's this little rat

daring to attack me behind my back?

Sir?

(Ten years ago) Didn't you return to Mount Shu?

What are you doing here?

What are you talking about?

Watch the sword!

Kid, not bad.

Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal, I am Li Xiaoyao.

Mr. what? Watch the sword!

Seven-Star Sword?

Sir,

how did you suddenly become young?

Kid, save the chit-chat.

Tell me.

Why do you have Jiang's Seven-Star Sword?

Sir, is this the Temple of Nuwa in Nanzhao?

Of course. If it's not,

do you think this is your home?

Then why are you here?

I...

Recently,

Nanzhao has been plagued by floods,

so I came here to exorcise demons and relieve the disaster.

Wasn't Nanzhao suffering from a severe drought?

Where did the floods come from?

You...

Sir, do you really not recognize me?

Now that you mention it, I do recall something.

You...

Who exactly are you?

What's going on here?

I'll ask you one last time.

Where did you get Jiang's Seven-Star Sword?

I am Li Xiaoyao.

This Seven-Star Sword was given to me by Mr. Jiang

just before he vanished in the Demon-Locking Tower.

Do you have any proof?

This... Did Jiang teach you this as well?

Well...

This was taught by my master.

Kid, you're a disciple from Mount Shu too?

How come I don't know you?

It's a long story.

I remember

I came here after praying to Goddess Nuwa.

Could it be because of Goddess Nuwa?

Goddess Nuwa, please show mercy

and let me return.

Please. Why haven't I gone back yet?

- Goddess Nuwa... - Silly boy, stop kowtowing.

- Why haven't I gone back? - You're crazy.

Don't worry about me.

- Goddess Nuwa... - You have the Sword, so I have to worry.

Back then, your parents broke into the Nanzhao Imperial Palace

and stole the sacred Water Spiritual Bead from the Witch Queen.

Without the Water Spiritual Bead,

the Witch Queen couldn't subdue the Water Demon Beast

and had to sacrifice herself to suppress it.

Since then, Nanzhao has been in drought for years.

Ten years ago...

Ten years ago.

I actually returned to the world ten years ago.

Kid,

based on the sword technique you just used,

which was identical to mine,

I'll tentatively trust you.

Would you dare

to take the Seven-Star Sword

and join me in hunting the monster of Nanzhao?

Nanzhao...

Nanzhao!

That was fast.

Kid, kid.

Kid, kid, wait for me!

Wait for me!

Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal,

I can't help you hunt demons right now.

I have more important things to do.

Wait, wait.

What did you call me just now?

Mr. Drunken Sword Immortal.

Drunken Sword Immortal?

Who is Drunken Sword Immortal?

A sword,

a drink, and a hermit seeking immortality.

What a great name!

From now on, I'll call myself that way.

I never thought that I would be the one

to give him his name.

Chief has come out.

Great ancestor,

Nanzhao

is facing calamity.

We pray for your spirit to guide us.

Who

turned Nanzhao into a marshland?

Who

put our people through such suffering?

Save us!

The ancestor has appeared!

The ancestor has appeared!

Save us!

- The Witch Queen. - Why is it the Witch Queen?

How could it be her?

What's going on?

What's happening?

Demon!

The Witch Queen is a demoness!

A snake demon!

Demon!

The Witch Queen is a snake demon!

How could it be her?

Chief, save us!

Chief, save us!

Great ancestor,

when a nation faces such disasters,

there must be a demon behind it.

Who

brought us into this?

- It's the snake demon. - It's the Witch Queen.

- Yes, it's the Witch Queen. - It's the snake demon.

- It's the snake demon. - It's the Witch Queen.

- It's the snake demon. - It's the Witch Queen.

People of Nanzhao,

you must act quickly

to save Nanzhao

and protect your homeland.

Today,

we will have the King

execute this demoness

and eliminate her followers.

Kill the Witch Queen!

Cleanse the court!

Kill the Witch Queen! Cleanse the court!

Kill the Witch Queen! Cleanse the court!

Kill the Witch Queen! Cleanse the court!

(Canglan Hall) Kill the Witch Queen!

This is Nanzhao's Imperial Palace.

Are you all rebelling?

We want to kill the Witch Queen!

Mr. Shi.

All soldiers, on my command!

Anyone who crosses this line

- will be executed immediately! - Yes!

Kill the Witch Queen! Cleanse the court!

Mr. Shi.

Bai Yue.

Mr. Bai Yue,

why are you here?

The voice of the people

should be heard by the King.

Mr. Bai Yue,

you are committing insubordination!

Mr. Shi,

the current situation in Nanzhao is precarious.

Extraordinary measures are necessary.

Your adherence to tradition

overrules greater justice

and focuses on trivial matters.

- But... - No buts.

I will bear

all consequences.

Chief is wise!

Long live the Chief!

Chief is wise! Long live the Chief!

It seems we should not stay here long.

Let's think of another way.

Let's go. Let's go.
