The Starry Night, The Starry Sea Season 2
Episode 8
[Chang Le Provincial Governor House]
Informing Lord, I already investigated it
and found that the ruckus in the shipyard was caused by the merfolks going wild.
After the event, the merpeople that caused trouble has already swam deep into the sea to escape arrest.
Why will the merpeople go wild for no reason at all?
The merfolks are fierce beasts to begin with.
It is just normal for them to do such things.
Good thing that what happened this time was just a small disturbance.
In the future, do not know what can happy still.
As they say, people who are not of my clan surely has different intentions.
I earnestly request lord that for the safety of the Chang Le citizens,
give an order to prohibit the merpeople to enter Chang Le.
Officer Lu,
the merpeople and the citizens of Chang Le have been living harmoniously for so many years.
And presently, what happened in the shipyard was just an incidental event.
If we will severe our communications with the merfolks just by one incident, isn't that inappropriate?
Lord is wise. I fear that I got too anxious.
Have you heard it already? The merpeople from the shipyard suddenly went wild last night and killed people.
That's right. I even heard that Boss Liu Mantang wasn't able to escape.
He really died so terribly.
These merfolks are too ferocious and cruel.
That's right. When we go out next time, we should stay far away from them.
So scary.
[Chang Le Shipyard]
Hey, make that rope better.
Li Gengzhi!
Lu Li? Why did you come here?
Let me ask you. Did you see Wu Julan last night?
After last night, I have not seen Brother Julan again.
Maybe he has already safely returned to the ocean.
Hope so. I heard that the men of Liu Mantang are still in the city searching for merfolks.
If he still has not returned to the ocean, I fear...
No, I must go find him.
Hey...
Wu Julan!
Sorry.
Your Majesty, we have already investigated it clearly.
High Priest indeed got taken by the humans. And worse, the humans killed our clan members and...
they actually used the congealed fats of us merpeople to construct Cangming. Totally brutal.
Cangming?
Can travel for thousands of miles and not stopping day and night. Can last for tens of thousands of years.
Never sinking. Called Cangming.
Never thought that the secret that our clan has been keeping for generations
still got discovered by them.
Your Majesty, what really is special about this Cangming?
Cangming is a never sinking giant ship from ancient legends.
It is also the only battleship that can attack and break into the Blue Cave.
Then it means that the humans are creating Cangming to attack the merpeople?
The humans are acting amicably with us externally,
but in reality are secretly plotting to annihilate our clan.
Really so despicable.
Where is Julan now?
Just to save everyone, Prince Julan lured the enemies away by himself.
I still have no news about him until now.
With Julan's skills, it is not a problem for him to avoid some chasing soldiers.
He still not returning to Blue Cave until now must be because he is hiding in Chang Le to get more information.
Jin Lin, I am ordering you to immediately find a way to contact Julan.
Do everything that you can to rescue High Priest and destroy Cangming.
I will abide.
[Chang Le Town]
They all say that the merpeople are formidable.
Weren't they still got beaten by us yesterday such that they were fleeing in panic?
Stop saying too much.
You are such a coward.
Be careful of bringing trouble to yourself.
Where are the merpeople that got caught by you people?
I...don't know.
- Hurry and say it!- I...
I was just a follower. I was only tasked to catch them. I really do not know where they are being kept.
Wu Julan!
Look where you are going.
Sorry.
Aren't you afraid of me?
Why then must you still see me?
You are living here now?
What really is the reason that you are looking for me?
How about you? Why are you avoiding me?
How are your wounds? Are they serious?
I am fine.
You lost a lot of blood last night so how can you be alright? Let me see.
I told you already that I am fine.
Liar. You clearly were hurt badly so how can you be alright?
You clearly was a merman yet you hid it from me.
Wu Julan, you are a big liar!
That is right, I am a big liar.
You can now stay farther away from me.
What did you say?
Were the words I said still not that clear?
I do not want to see you and I do no need you be concerned about me.
The reason I surfaced today is because I want you to stop searching for me and bring me more trouble.
I worrying about you is bringing you trouble?
Okay. Wu Julan, do not worry.
I will not care about your life or death anymore!
Throw them all away. Do not leave anything behind.
Throw them all down here! Hurry! Hurry!
Throw them all down here! Hurry!
All of you stop! Do not throw!
Mingzhe, it's enough if you do not help. But do not hinder us.
You all throwing away the stuff of Qingci and the others now,
how are we going to explain things to them if they return in the future?
What a joke! The merpeople committed such a huge crime! Can they still return?!
There must be a misunderstanding in here!
What misunderstanding? I think it's those merfolk being unable to continue pretending already.
They finally showed their real intentions.
- Your saying nonsense!-What? You want to fight?
- Hey! Stop!- Come then!
Let go.
All of you, let go! Go back to work!
What are you all standing there for? Go back to work!
Go. Let us go. Let us go back to work.
Mingzhe, it's no use.
Everyone saw the merpeople hurting people yesterday.
They all are actually very afraid.
Once they are afraid, it is natural to develop hatred.
Whatever you say now, they will not understand.
Officer-in-charge Li, I really do not understand.
How come everything changed in just one night?
So it is you. Why did you come here to look for me?
Zixuan, these are crunchy candies from Caitiexuan (colorful butterfly store).
- I fell in line for a long time before I was able to buy them. It's my treat. Thanks then.
Hey, Zixuan, do not hurry to leave.
You still need anything else?
Is your Lady around?
I am giving you back the candies. Do not think that with just these little kindness, you will already be able to get news about my lady.
What is wrong with asking?
Moreover, what taste does your lady has?
A distinguished Lord Adjutant, she does not want. She just has to choose a ship laborer.
You must not mention that ship laborer!
I also do not want to mention. But...
You could have not known it all already, right?!
Isn't it? Everyone in the streets are already talking about it.
It has spread like wild fire.
It is all that Wu Julan's fault. He has just to be a merman!
Wu Julan is a merman?!
You...dare to fool me?!
Hey! Zixuan!
Young Master! Young Master!
Young Master! A pancake has fallen from the skies!
- What is it?- Wrong. Wrong.
It is heaven finally having eyes.
Never thought that the ship laborer that Lady Lu likes is actually a merman.
Say, can this be counted as
'repeating mountains and streams as if there in no more path, past dark willows and flowers in bloom lies another village'.
A good person really have good karma.
Young Master, how come you are not surprised at all?
Because I already know this matter that you are saying.
Young Master, although you already have given your blessings to lady and that ship laborer,
but they surely have no chance anymore this time.
Even if just for the sake of the eternal happiness of Lady Lu,
you should take advantage of this chance and enter until you reach the yellow dragon.
Stop your nonsense.
I am not saying nonsense.
Young Master!
Have I said it not clearly enough?
I do not like to see you and I do not need you to be concerned about me.
The reason I surfaced today is because I do not want you to keep looking for me and causing me more trouble.
Lady, you are holding your book upside down.
Zixuan, if one person is wounded,
but there is no blood oozing out from his wound and he looks energetic,
does that mean he is fine?
Not really.
I remember that when I was little, there was this boy in our village
whose heel got cut by a sickle.
That time, he also did not bleed that much and he was still very energetic.
Yet after two days,
the wound suddenly worsened and he had persistent fever.
A few days after, he just died.
Lady, why are you so careless?
- Lord.- What is it?
Informing Lord, someone attacked the man serving under Liu Mantang and forced him to say where the merpeople are being held.
I think that this person might be Wu Julan.
This Wu Julan is really hard to get off our back.
He has escaped from us numerous times
yet he repeatedly returned. He really is disregarding danger.
Immediately make arrangements and search every houses.
And also, there should also be people in big or small pharmacies.
If anyone will come buy cuttlebone used by merpeople as medicine, immediately arrest him.
Yes.
Since he can't bear to leave Chang Le, I will then trap him in here.
Coming! Coming!
- Search!- Bros!
We do not really have any grudges between us so how have I offended you? Please spare me.
The one who offended me is not you. It is the merpeople!
Merpeople?
I am a very honest person. How can I have any connections with merpeople?
Locking your house tightly in broad daylight. Do you have anything in this house that you are hiding from people?!
- Nothing...- Search!
Yes! Yes!
Bro! Hey!
- Brother, brother...- Search carefully!
There really is no one in here. Do not search anymore. No one.
Brother, I already said that there is no one. Really true.
Search well!
Go there too.
- What are you doing?- I am bleeding. Am I dying?
- Let us go!- Brother, I told you already that there are no one in here.
Take care!
Guys, take care!
[Cold Wood Summer Bloom]
When did you come out? They just left.
Ma Dachun, really thanks to you.
What about it? What about it?
Are you feeling now that you have been wrong all this time?
Not only am I a person that is full of great talent and very knowledgeable,
I know about astronomical geography and trivial matters. I know everything and can do anything.
And also very courageous and a good strategist. In face of danger, not being afraid.
Saying so many, is your hand not painful anymore?
That is right. This is indeed cuttlebone that is used especially to treat merpeople.
Say it! Where is the merman?!
Hurry and chase after him!
How are you? Are you okay?
I am fine. Qin Hao, all thanks to you. Thanks.
Why did you come out alone today? You do not even have Zixuan following you.
I just came out to casually stroll around and will already go back immediately.
Just casually going around and even buying wound medicine?
I am fine. Do not worry.
I am worried about you. Just come home with me.
Qin Hao, if you treat me as a friend, do not ask anything anymore.
Do not follow me too.
Wu Julan! Wu Julan, I am here!
Wu Julan.
Wu Julan!
So hot.
Wu Julan, endure it. I brought some medicines. After you take it, you will be well soon.
Wu Julan, wake up.
Wake up.
Do not sleep anymore, okay?
Wake up.
Even if you scold me, it is fine with me. Hurry and wake up, Wu Julan.
Wu Julan...
Hurry up and wake up. I will not blame you for lying to me anymore
and will not mind that you are a fish. I know your feelings already.
Wu Julan, I beg you to not die.
Do not cry anymore.
So ugly.
You are the one that is ugly.
Sorry. Sorry. I did not mean it. Is it very painful?
Not painful. I am just fooling you.
Forget it. I will not argue with you anymore today.
Lu Li, I am a merman. Are you not afraid?
I already thought about it.
No matter if you are a human or a merman, those are not important.
I just know that you are Wu Julan, the person that I sincerely love.
Hey, why are you not speaking?
♫ Looking at the moth fly into the fire, loving in such scorching hot manner ♫
♫ Living in the face of death ♫
♫ The moth flies into the seas ♫
Do you understand what I mean already?
I understand already.
But...I still can try to understand more right now.
♫ Birds would fly by and fishes would swim by the coldest lake ♫
♫ You are in the vast seas while I was in the galaxy when we became bubbles ♫
Young Master, could the medicines brought by Lady Lu for Wu Julan?
Never thought that this Lady Lu has such a one-track mind.
- She clearly knows that he was a merman and she still is risking her life to throw herself unto him.- Can you stop talking already?
Young Master, I am just indignant at the injustice that you suffered.
[Chang Le Town]
- Qiufeng.- I am here.- Send my command
that to prevent further troubles, starting tonight,
miscellaneous people must not be allowed to enter or exit the work site.
Arrange for workers to rush the work from day until night
until Cangming is completed.
Yes, Lord.

[Chang Le Town]
Wu Julan, it is indeed you.
Young Lord Qin, long time no see.
Merman that are causing disturbances, are you still not going to surrender?
Forgive me for being unable to do as you said.
Wu Julan!
How can you just leave without telling me? Do you know how worried I am when I arrived and did not see you here?
I was wrong. Do not be angry.
What is this about?
You fought with someone again? Did you get hurt?
I am fine.
Really? You are not lying to me?
Really. With you around, how can I bear to get hurt?
Do not think that by just saying a few sweet words, I will not get angry anymore.
How then do you want me to make up for my mistake?
- Are you wiling to do anything that I say?- Wiling to do anything.
Then...remove your clothes.
Hurry up. Do you still want me to help you?
Never thought that in a short time, your wounds have completely healed.
So you let me removed my clothes just to look at my wounds.
Or else, what? What were you thinking that I would do?
Oh, right, what really happened that day in the shipyard?
What deep grudges do you people have with Liu Mantang?
What? Up to now, you still are hiding things from me.
Ah Li, there are some things that I do not want to involve you.
Wu Julan, do you still not understand?
You are the person that I love. Anything that concerns you already involves me.
This Liu Mantang is really worse than a beast. He is quite lucky to just die like that.
Ah Li, this matter concerns the greatest secret of merpeople, the Cangying.
I hope that you can keep this a secret.
Yes, do not worry. I will not tell anyone.
Oh, right, you are not only a merman, you are even a prince.
That is right.
I can see that you have some fighting skills.
Your looks is acceptable. And you are even a prince.
Then are there girls in your merpeople clan that keeps circling around you?
Not really much.
Not much? How much is that?
Around 10, plus or minus.
Seven or eight...
One or two?
Good thing that you react fast.
Let me tell you. You are now my person.
You must then behave yourself and only love one forever. Understand?
I will abide.
Hey! Hey! Your injuries are not really fully healed yet! Where are you going now?!
Master still is not out of danger. I must find information about her whereabouts.
- No, you can't!- Move aside!
The remaining men of Liu Mantang are still arresting merpeople everywhere. If you go out now, isn't that like a lamb entering the wolf's lair?
Master was the one who raised me. I owe her a lot. How can I just leave and not care about her?
Even if I end up in the hands of the enemies, at most...I will just die with Master.
Hey! Hey! No! Wait!
I worked so hard to save you not to let you just seek your doom.
If your Master really loves you, she also will not agree on what you plan to do.
If I do not give it a try, how sure are you that I am going to be caught?
- Let go!- No!
I must have accumulated several generations of bad luck
for me to have met you.
- I did not do it on purpose.- You not doing it on purpose already caused me to be like this.
If you did on purpose, will I still even be alive?
Alas! The heaven really envies gifted people.
If I lose these hands of mine,
how am I still going to grind the ink and write and be able to leave great literary works?
Stop shouting already. Aren't these just minor injuries? These will be healed in a few days.
A big man like you wailing like that, really so useless.
No, you must make it up to me.
What do you want?
What do I want?
I want you to use merit to counter your mistake. Stay and take care of him.
You wish!
They all say that merpeople give huge importance to camaraderie. From the looks of it now, it is just nothing.
Just you wait. I am going to recite a poem for you.
I...will sarcastically criticize this ungrateful acts that you do and let the citizens spread it.
Merpeople are heartless and devoid of conscience, Jin Yin is their parents.
Even if you treat her very well, she will be return your kindness with revenge, black-hearted!
- Shut up!- Spare me.
Okay, I will accept it.
You cannot take back your words once you promised to do it.
My words are like thousands of gold. I will never take it back.
Ah Li!
Older Brother, you are looking for me?
What? Still angry at me?
How can I dare to?
Okay already. How can there be enmity between siblings?
It was you who was unreasonable first!
Ah Li, since you were little, whatever you want to have or want to do,
when have I not satisfied you?
But in this matter, I will never yield.
Brother, you told me to come in just to say these? I will get going now.
Wait.
Ah Li, you are usually just leisurely idle. Why not interact more with Young Lord Qin?
Why is older brother suddenly mentioning Qin Hao?
Qin Hao is a young promising man with a very bright future ahead of him.
He is also your childhood friend. You both know each other very well.
Compare to those people harboring evil intentions,
Qin Hao suits you better.
Older Brother, Qin Hao and I are just best friends.
We have not considered anything beyond it.
- Ah Li, Qin Hao is the one--- Brother, stop saying it already. There is nothing to discuss about this matter.
Prince, I was incompetent
that is why prince had to face danger alone that day.
You were only following my orders. No need to blame yourself.
Get up.
With you all being safe, that is great.
For you to risk danger and come here today, I am sure that royal father has already known about this matter.
Yes, His Majesty concluded that the humans are creating Cangming to attack Blue Cave.
He ordered that we must do any means necessary to rescue High Priest and destroy Canming.
Although Liu Mantang is dead, but his remaining men are not easy to fight against with.
If we want to fulfill the orders of royal mother, we still need time.
Right now, I have an important matter that I need you to investigate.
The weather is dry. Be careful of candles.
Who is it?!
Have mercy...
- How come it is you?- You must not get in.
The thing that you are looking for is not in there already.
There are traps inside just waiting for you all to fall in them.
Look.
- Where is he?- Replying to Boss, I did not see him.
Boss, maybe we have heard it wrong?
Search nearby. Do not let anyone suspicious escape.
Yes.
Looks like the guess of Prince is right.
Just treat this a me owing you a favor. Hope we get to see each other again.
How come Brother Julan is not with you? Where is he now?
- Is he doing well?- Do not worry, he is fine.
If you guys need any help, just tell me.
I surely will be willing to get hurt for my buddies and duty bound not to turn back. I definitely will not refuse.
No need. Just take good care of yourself first.
Do not get discovered by the men of Liu Mantang.
Help me say hello to Brother Jun.
- Is this beautiful?- Yes, beautiful.
- How about this one?- Beautiful.
Lady is beautiful with no matter what you wear.
Lady, where are you going?
Why are you asking so much?
It was indeed as Prince guessed, Cangming has already been transferred.
Not only that. The remaining men of Liu Mantang even set up traps in the shipyard and preparing to ambush us.
Since Cangming is already not there,
High Priest and the merpeople that got caught surely have also been transferred.
Prince, what should we do now?
Humans cruelly killing merfolks to create a ship. If we dealy it for one more day, we are putting our clan in more danger.
If Cangming gets built, then our merfolk clan will never have peaceful days.
Jin Lin!
- Ah Li, are you alright?- I am fine.
Prince, this woman was secretly listening to our conversation. We do not know her intentions.
- How about let us just kill her to silence her.- Stop!
Jin Lin, Liu Li is not only not our enemy,
and I even owe her my life. After the battle in the shipyard, I was heavily wounded.
It was all thanks to her that I got through that difficult times.
But she is after all a human. Now that she knows about our secret,
even if we do not kill her, we should detain her until we finished our mission.
No need to say it anymore!
I hope that you will remember that Lu Li is the most important person to me.
No matter when or where, I will not allow her to be harmed even for a bit.
Understand.
I understand.
Ah Li, Jin Lin was just a bit impulsive. I hope that you will not blame him.
Liu Mantang caused quite a tragedy to your clan.
It is just normal for Jin Lin to be hostile to me so why will I blame him?
Wu Julan, I can help you.
Aren't you planning to save the other merpeople and burn Canming?
I can help you.
No way. It is very dangerous.
Of course, I know that it is dangerous.
But if you are me,
would you just look and let your love face difficulties alone?
Moreover, if this matter does not get solved,
the conflict between the merfolk and humans will not get resolved.
How can then we be together at ease?
Anyway, I am determined to get involved in this matter.
I know already.
If I am you, I also will not just cross my arms and not care.
Seeing that you know how to admit your mistakes and change for the better, I will be magnanimous and drop this matter already.
Then I will go now.
Okay.
Good Zixuan, did you watch over the house well?
Did you not sleep well last night? How come the corner of your eye keeps twitching?
Ah Li, you're back.
Qin Hao, you are here. Why did you not inform me first that you are coming?
If I tell you beforehand, will you be that obedient and just wait for me here?
Zixuan, I have some words that I want to tell your lady in private.
Okay. Lady, Young Lord Qin,
you two just chat. I will go now.
Where did you go earlier? How come you did not even tell Zixuan about it?
Nowhere. Just strolling around.
Strolling around?
Then where did you get that bruise on your neck?
Nothing. It got bitten by mosquito.
You went to see Wu Julan.
It was him who did that bruise on your neck, am I right?
No! It has nothing to do with him!
If it was not him, who else?
You clearly know that Wu Julan is a merman
and he even caused a ruckus in the shipyard and hurt people. Why then must you still have interactions with him?
There is a hidden reason behind what happened in the shipyard. Wu Julan and the others were just forced to act that way.
Okay, then tell me. What is Wu Julan's reason?
I promised Wu Julan that I will keep it a secret.
What hidden facts?
You clearly are just bewitched by that merman and cannot distinguish right from wrong anymore.
You can think whatever you like! It is not your business to care about who I interact with.
What you said is right. I indeed will not be able to stop you from interacting with whoever you like.
I also have no right to interfere.
Do not worry. I will not tell Lord Lu about your meeting with Wu Julan.
But if Wu Julan will let you be in a dangerous situation again,
I surely will not let him off.
