Episode 22
Let's talk later.
Father, no!
Stupid girl, how dare you betray your father!
Mr. Qu.
Didn't you promise that you won't hurt Tan Er?
Free her at once...
and I'll spare your life.
Sir, you're so confident.
In this case,
show me your moves!
Looks like Qu Jiang Lin can't control this power yet.
Father! Don't hurt Yi Huai!
When did Qu Jiang Lin become so strong?
Could it be that...
this is the legendary power of the Soul Suppressing Orb?
Yi Huai!
Are you alright?
I don't know why,
but I feel like...
thousands of insects are biting me inside of my body.
Sir, don't waste your energy.
I just triggered the poison in your body.
I'll tell you the truth.
I'm afraid you'll die in less than half a day.
Father.
What exactly is going on?
Pan Er.
I actually need to thank you for this.
Me?
Brother Yi Huai.
Let's have our wedlock drink.
Wait for me.
Was it our wedding...
That's right.
Pan Er.
If you hadn't let this fellow...
take the poison on your wedding night,
your unnecessary compassion might have...
ruined my plan today.
I see.
There's no such thing as a love poison in this world.
I poisoned Yi Huai.
Qu Jiang Lin.
You have the nerve to harm me, the crown prince.
Are you rebelling?
Yes.
Qu Family is going to...
reclaim this country.
How ridiculous!
This country belongs to Mo Family and not Qu Family.
Back then, if it wasn't for Qu Family's Soul Suppressing Orb,
Mo Yi Feng wouldn't be able to...
exterminate Dugu Clan on his own...
and build Eastern Yue!
Grandfather...
No.
I don't believe it.
Right.
It's not a very convincing story.
But,
whether you believe it or not,
you're about to die...
and your opinion...
doesn't matter anymore.
Qu Jiang Lin, you...
Brother Yi Huai!
Wake up.
Father.
I don't care if you want to...
usurp the throne...
and become the emperor.
I beg of you.
Please spare Yi Huai's life.
He's my husband after all!
Shut up!
Think about it yourself.
Did he ever treat you as his wife?
Father!
Brother Yi Huai.
I'm sorry.
Brother Yi Huai.
My husband.
Although Tan Er is the one you love,
I'm your wife.
I'm the only one...
that has the right to die for you.
Brother Yi Huai.
Don't worry.
I've learnt of the way to cure you from my father.
If a living person consumes the female poison,
he or she can lure the male poison in your body...
into his or her body.
You will then...
recover naturally.
Dying for you like this...
is considered the best ending for me.
With this,
you will remember me for a lifetime.
Yi Feng actually founded Eastern Yue...
with the help of the power of the Soul Suppressing Orb and Qu Family.
Yi Feng.
What else did you hide from me?
Tan Er.
The Flute of Departed Soul.
Tan Er.
It's all my fault. I've let you suffer.
Why am I seeing a figment of you again?
Is that really you?
Tan Er, it's me.
I'll rescue you right away.
What an unprofessional figment of imagination.
I thought of you so many times.
What took you so long to appear?
Now I know...
how lucky I was.
I'm so depressed now.
Shouldn't you do something to make me happy?
Are you happy now?
Cheng Cheng.
Is that really you?
You're not my imagination?
It's me.
What took you so long?
Cheng Cheng, have your eyes recovered?
The other me...
and Mr. Liu joined hands to save me.
Thank god.
I knew you'll be fine.
Alright. Let's get out of this place quickly...
before Qu Jiang Lin finds out.
Let's go.
Trying to run away?
Dream on!
Mr. Qu.
It's only been one day and you've gotten stronger.
Could it be that...
you absorbed the magical power of the Soul Suppressing Orb?
I have a reminder for you.
Be careful not to get hurt by the power that doesn't belong to you.
The Soul Suppressing Orb...
belongs to Qu Family in the first place.
Its power belongs to me!
Alright.
Today, I'll show you...
the true power of Qu Family!
Be careful.
Cheng Cheng.
Where's the other you?
He can come out now.
That old monster with magical power should come too!
If you're fighting alone,
I won't get to have enough fun!
Mr. Qu, you're saying things I don't understand again.
If it's you,
I alone will suffice!
Bring it on!
Cheng Cheng.
Don't worry, Yi Huai.
I managed to obtain the antidote from my father.
You've been cured.
Pan Er.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
All this while,
I've been unfair to you.
We're husband and wife. This is my responsibility.
You don't have to say that.
Let's leave this place as soon as possible.
Let's go.
Wait.
Have you ever loved me...
in the slightest...
or for a moment?
Never mind.
You're my ordeal in love.
This is my destiny.
I've accepted my fate.
Pan Er.
I know that...
you love me very much.
I'm now...
extremely grateful.
But unfortunately,
I cannot let go of Tan Er.
If we meet again in our next lives,
I'm willing to use a lifetime of love...
to repay you.
Alright. It's a promise.
I promise.
In your next life,
you'll repay me with a lifetime of love.
Pan Er!
My child! Wake up!
Pan Er.
Pan Er, you can rest assured.
I'll find someone to treat you.
The truth is,
in order to remove the poison from your body,
I transferred the poison to my body.
I'm bound to die.
-Silly girl. -Remember this.
I'm the only one that has the right...
to be...
the woman that sacrifices her life for you.
Qu Tan Er cannot be the one.
Silly girl.
Why did you do that for me?
Don't worry.
You are my...
only crown princess.
Yi Huai.
Can you hold me in your arms?
Alright.
Pan Er!
Pan Er, don't die!
Pan Er!
Brother Yi Huai.
Mo Lian Cheng.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
This is just...
the beginning of the war between you and me.
Will you still...
choose the wrong path regardless of what I do?
Are we really fated to...
fight against each other?
Although you did a lot of bad things,
you did all of it...
for Qu Family.
This place...
is the best place...
for you to rest in peace.
This body of mine belongs to your daughter after all.
Since Qu Pan Er is dead too,
I'll kowtow on behalf of them...
to help them pay their last respects to you.
Please rest in peace.
Don't do bad things in your next life.
Don't be an unfair father either.
Let's go, Tan Er.
What's written on this wall?
This is...
the story of the founding of Eastern Yue by the late emperor.
The late emperor, Mo Yi Feng, came from Xuanling Continent.
He's also my best friend.
I passed away because of a conflict...
and in order to preserve my soul, Mo Yi Feng...
extracted my will with the Seal of Heaven and Earth.
From the devastated Xuanling Continent at that time,
I was brought to Eastern Yue to be cultured.
Could it be that...
he built Eastern Yue for you?
Is Mo Yi Feng...
really your best friend?
Why do I smell gayness in this?
Nonsense.
I thought that...
upon arriving in Eastern Yue,
he would build Eastern Yue without encountering any problem.
But, after the reading the text on this wall, I found out that...
not long after he arrived,
another person secretly came.
Who?
Qu Xiang Tan,
the leader of the Qu Clan in Xuanling Continent...
and the cause of my death.
That's so complicated.
My relationship with Qu Tan Er is inexplicable enough.
Where does this Qu Xiang Tan fit in?
Why do you think you were hunted down...
before we came to Eastern Yue?
They are soul hunters from Xuanling Continent.
Because...
you are Qu Xiang Tan.
This is getting even more puzzling.
Why do I have so many identities?
It's alright.
You just have to remember that...
no matter when...
and where,
you are the person I love the most.
Sir.
We've obtained the thing.
My father...
hides the secret manual...
and Soul Suppressing Orb...
in Lingyou Shrine.
Pan Er.
I won't disappoint you.
I'll make good use of the secret manual and orb.
I thought of Qu Pan Er as a schemeful witch.
But, it turned out that she's a loyal lover.
You women of Qu Family...
must not be underestimated indeed.
For the men they love,
one jumped into a lake and the other one took a stab.
You're the only one underperforming.
All you did was...
confess to me in a muddled state.
I confessed?
You don't remember anything?
At that time, you put your hand on my chest...
and said,
"Cheng Cheng,
I'll go wherever you go."
"If you don't leave, I won't leave either."
Why do I still act like this...
when I'm in another time and space?
I'm glad you know.
Now, you have to believe that...
you were my wife.
How come I heard the me in the other world...
saying something like,
"Before I die,
I must get that letter of divorce!"
You finally recalled.
My wife was very naughty.
She liked to demand for divorce...
to attract my attention.
She was so afraid of losing me...
to other women.
Other women?
You must be talking about...
your two funny concubines.
If you're the kind of man that prefers that kind of women,
I don't need you.
Tan Er.
Do you know how long...
I waited to hear this from you?
This place is actually...
a very meaningful place to us.
This place should totally be a UNESCO site.
But, why does this place look so familiar?
Back in the other time and space,
we once travelled...
carefreely for 2 years.
This was where you got pregnant with our child, Yu Er.
Did I hear it right?
Did you just say that we made a baby here?
You rascal!
Can you stop making sexually explicit statements?
Tan Er, do you know...
how hopeless I felt...
when I woke up to see you gone...
after the explosion?
But, when I realized that...
I came to your hometown,
I suddenly saw hope.
Yet,
it was not just space that was distorted.
Time was distorted as well.
I discovered that the modern Qu Xiao Tan...
is not the old Tan Er,
but the Tan Er before she came to Eastern Yue.
Despair developed in my heart.
At that time, I felt...
as though I lost a lifetime of time.
A lifetime of time...
I once spent with you.
Cheng Cheng.
If I had set aside my principles...
and accepted your proposal back then...
when I tried to sell you a house,
would we not come to Eastern Yue?
