Episode 28
Enough.
Missy.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you still remember Xuanling Continent?
What country is that?
Then do you have any memory of the Demon King?
Demon brother (homophone)?
Why not demon sister?
Fine. You win.
Can you stop throwing stones into the lake?
You're driving the fishes away!
How can you have the mood to fish at a time like this?
If I don't fish, what do we eat later?
Who are you?
Our attempt was a failure.
No one knows whether Prince Lian Cheng is dead or alive.
General Wei sent me to tell the two of you...
to run away immediately.
No one knows whether he's dead or alive?
Wasn't it a well-thought-out plan?
What happened?
Old monster.
Save him.
Wait.
I promised them to take good care of you.
How can I dump you here?
Old monster.
This place is very safe. No one will find me.
Please.
If anything bad happens to Cheng Cheng,
I'd rather die!
Don't panic.
We don't know if...
that person told us the truth.
What if he lied?
Are you going or not?
If you don't go, I'll jump into the river now!
Please don't!
This is a cruel world.
Love will get you killed.
Fine.
I'll go.
You'll stay here and fish.
Sir.
The royal study is just ahead.
It seems unguarded as well.
Don't you think...
everything went too well?
Yes.
Even if the main force...
has been sent away to deal with General Wei,
Mo Yi Huai won't be so stupid...
to leave the royal study unguarded.
Oh no.
We probably fell for his trap.
Yu Hao.
Tell General Wei and Jing Xuan to...
retreat immediately.
Yes.
Don't worry about them.
Wei Zong Heng has fled after his defeat.
As for Jing Xuan...
We underestimated Mo Yi Huai.
Are you surprised?
You planned so carefully.
Yet, I predicted everything correctly.
Let me tell you something.
Even though you often look down on me,
I never look down on you.
Brother Lian Cheng, forget about us! Run!
Sir, please go ahead and leave.
I'll stall them.
If you want to leave,
I can't stop you.
But, you might not want to leave now.
Cheng Cheng.
Tan Er!
Cheng Cheng, I'm sorry.
They fooled me.
It's all my fault.
Brother Lian Cheng, you've always been proud and clever.
But today, even though there are two of you,
you're still no match for me.
You've been outsmarted.
But, I've always been a fair person.
Just so you admit defeat,
I'm going to duel you.
If you win,
I'll give up everything.
I'll let you have both...
the country and woman.
What say you?
You've won.
You won't give it up.
Mo Lian Cheng.
Are you under the impression that you'll surely beat me?
Let me tell you something.
Today,
I'll let the entire nation see that...
be it in terms of intelligence or martial art,
you're inferior to me!
Alright then.
If you go back on your word,
you will become a laughing stock.
Cheng Cheng!
Brother Lian Cheng!
I got fooled by you guys again!
Yu Hao! Run!
Sir, let's go!
Sir.
Mo Yi Huai saw through my feint attack.
I failed to stall the enemy.
Please forgive me.
We fell for Mo Yi Huai's trap.
Ms. Tan Er and Prince Jing Xuan...
have been captured by him.
What? No way.
No wonder Mo Jing Kang reacted so strangely when we engaged.
They knew what we were trying to do.
I'm sorry for causing this.
Your subordinates were sacrificed in vain.
It's pointless to say that now.
We can go back to neither your residence nor my place.
You guys are severely injured.
Is there any other place we can go?
We can go to Yingxing Tower.
My grandfather used to train there.
I believe Mo Yi Huai doesn't know that place.
You're right.
Let's go.
Sir, General Wei has left to lure the enemy away.
We'll go out and keep watch...
in case someone attacks.
How could Mo Yi Huai...
do this to him?
It's all my fault.
I lost to Mo Yi Huai in a duel.
He shielded me from the blow.
How is he?
Is he severely injured?
Mo Yi Huai obtained the Soul Suppressing Orb...
and even trained with Qu Jiang Lin's manual.
This young man was at his limit to begin with.
Now that he's injured by the power of the Soul Suppressing Orb,
I'm afraid there's no way to save him.
You can transfer some of my vital energy to him again.
That's a bad idea.
That's basically a desperate move.
You can't do it all the time.
Moreover, you're quite badly injured yourself.
If we ignore that and transfer your vital energy to him,
on top of failing to save his life,
you might lose your own life.
Sir.
We're the same person.
Why do you call me "sir"?
At this point,
I don't know...
what to call you anymore.
But, it doesn't matter.
Soon,
I'll disappear.
I don't have to worry about that anymore.
You can't disappear.
Tan Er is waiting for you to rescue her.
Tan Er...
I'll leave Tan Er to you.
No.
I won't accept your sympathy.
You must get well.
If I want Tan Er,
I will compete with you fairly.
Don't be silly.
If you don't want Tan Er,
who will take care of her?
Don't worry about...
what happened between me and her...
or who she really loves.
You'll just need to remember that...
you are me...
and I am you.
When I'm gone,
you'll be the one and only...
Mo Lian Cheng.
Does it really matter...
whether or not I'm the one and only?
I've been...
wanting to thank you.
Without your assistance,
I might have...
made a lot of mistakes.
You finally appreciate me.
I don't belong to this dimension.
I'm the one that should disappear.
But, it's alright.
Tan Er knows me.
You know me.
I've no regret.
Cheng Cheng.
Are you alright?
You must live.
I'm waiting for you here.
I'm waiting for you to rescue me.
It can preserve heat.
You don't have to drink cold wine anymore.
I want to prevent...
a war between brothers...
caused by the competition for the throne.
Mr. Liu Shang!
Do you have any idea how scared...
and helpless I have been?
Cheng Cheng.
Are you happy now?
You'll catch a cold.
Someone just brought us snow fungus soup.
Do you want to drink it while it's still warm?
I've no appetite.
Do you think...
Cheng Cheng can recover?
Will he...
Don't imagine things.
Mr. Liu will look after Prince Lian Cheng and Mr. Liu Shang.
I'm sure he'll recover.
Really?
Then why is my heart hurting?
I can't stop...
thinking about the time we spent together.
It feels like I won't be able to see him again.
Xiao Tan, don't cry.
Whenever you cry,
I feel like crying too.
Listen to me.
Prince Lian Cheng and Mr. Liu Shang...
are in a crunch now.
For them,
you must take good care of yourself.
Understand?
Thank you, Jing Xin.
Thank you for being with me.
Without you, I wouldn't be able to make it.
Because you're with me too.
So,
I'll always be with you.
Truth to be told,
that young man was already expecting this.
So,
you don't have to be too sad.
He came with the wind...
and left with the wind...
without leaving behind anything.
How can I...
not feel sad?
By the way,
I've used the secret treasure I brought from Xuanling Continent,
the Seal of Heaven and Earth,
to extract the remnants of his will.
Keep it as a memento.
Thank you.
Also, that girl and your brother...
are still held hostage by Mo Yi Huai.
You must think of a way to rescue them as soon as possible.
Now,
Mo Yi Huai is forcibly training with the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Sooner or later, he will lose himself...
and reach a state beyond salvation.
The worse thing is,
he might become the second Demon King.
Mr. Lian Cheng had been warning me...
against competing with Mo Yi Huai.
But, at this point,
do I still have a choice?
I didn't expect you...
to be so severely injured as well.
Come. Sit down.
Your Majesty.
Is Tan Er...
alright?
Your Majesty.
She was throwing a tantrum in Qianxiang Hall.
I just ordered someone to send Jing Xin over to accompany her.
I believe she's feeling much better now.
I've given her a few days' time to calm down.
I believe she'll change her mind.
The two rebels are still on the loose.
I can't set my mind at rest.
They are severely injured.
They are dying.
Even though someone rescued them,
I believe they won't survive.
Send more men to search nationwide.
Find the two rebels at all cost.
Keep this in mind.
I want them...
dead or alive.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Sir, Mo Yi Huai's soldiers have walked out of this forest...
and headed to the north to search.
Sir, are you alright?
I'm alright.
Your injury...
is worse than I thought.
The power of the Soul Suppressing Orb...
has damaged your primordial spirit.
I can only prolong your lifespan temporarily.
I'm afraid I can't save you.
Mr. Liu.
Is there any other way?
If the other him is still around,
his medical skills from Xuanling Continent...
might be able to help.
But...
Even if I'm about to die,
I won't give up on...
what I should do.
It's just that...
I've wasted his sacrifice.
In the end, Mr. Lian Cheng...
still failed to save me.
Help!
-What's the matter? -Ms. Tan Er is sick!
Wake up.
What's wrong?
Don't move!
Ms. Tan Er.
Don't move.
Don't come any closer!
Otherwise, she'll kill him!
He's just an insignificant guard.
His life doesn't matter.
I advise you to put down the sword,
so that you don't hurt yourself.
Don't come any closer!
Otherwise, I'll kill myself!
Ms. Tan Er.
Don't hurt yourself!
Don't come any closer!
Move!
This is your sword.
I'll tell Mo Yi Huai that...
you guys hurt me!
He'll punish you guys!
Don't hurt yourself.
Let go of me!
Tan Er.
You should forget about running away.
I won't let you leave me again.
If you insist to leave,
I can't guarantee that I won't take it out on...
Mo Jing Xuan and Jing Xin.
No!
Don't hurt Jing Xin and Jing Xuan.
I won't run away.
But,
will confining me here...
really make you happy?
Tan Er.
Please...
come to your senses.
Please stop making me sad.
If you come back to me,
I promise...
I'll forgive you for your betrayal. Alright?
You should come to your senses!
I'll tell you the truth.
I'm not Qu Tan Er.
I've never loved you.
So, I've never betrayed you.
Please.
Please spare me...
as well as Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng?
Do you love Mo Lian Cheng so much?
I can't believe you said something so cruel to me because of him!
You even made up a lie like that!
What do you take our past relationship for?
Tan Er, have you forgotten the oath we made?
Have you forgotten?
I'm not Qu Tan Er!
What?
I'm Qu Xiao Tan.
I came from another world.
After Qu Tan Er committed suicide for you,
I entered her body somehow.
At first, I thought that you're also from another dimension.
I kept going back to you...
because I wanted to find a way to go home with you.
Please consider carefully.
She's no longer the old Tan Er we know.
Liu Shang is actually...
Prince Lian Cheng from another dimension.
He came because of me.
He never stole Qu Tan Er's heart.
So, you've no reason to blame it on him!
You're not Tan Er?
Then where's Tan Er?
Where's Tan Er?
I don't know.
I really don't know!
It's all your fault!
Let go!
Kill me.
On behalf of Qu Tan Er,
I'll return this body to you.
Please just spare Cheng Cheng.
Ms. Tan Er.
No.
This is Tan Er's body.
Tan Er won't leave me.
I will turn you into Tan Er at all cost.
I want you to recall...
how much you loved me back then.
Xiao Tan.
Sir.
Mo Yi Huai has announced to the nation that...
he'll make Ms. Qu his empress.
The installation will be held soon.
I'm too useless.
I can't protect anyone at all.
If Mr. Lian Cheng is here,
I'm sure he can think of something.
I finally realized...
how much he secretly did for me.
I've been failing him.
This is his fate.
You don't have to be too sad.
Even though his physical body is gone,
his will still exists in this realm...
and can possess a vessel anytime.
Mr. Liu.
I suddenly recalled something.
You once used a spell...
called the Life and Death Contract...
to connect our spirits.
It felt as if we merged.
I wonder if we can use the same method...
to make me the vessel of his spirit.
