Her soul
is impure,
But kind of sweet.
You asked me to let go of her, huh?
I saw her true heart
by the way.
I’m not coming for a fight.
I have a pot to make wine with souls.
I have a hand to move the land.
I have a mouth to bite the world.
All right.
Should I
recite some secret spells
of Jade Void Palace, too?
You don’t look like
the master of the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
You dare to come to me alone.
and you sound interesting.
But you’re so sneaking.
What the hell do you want?
Want?
You come the palace
to catch me, don’t you?
Why don’t you start?
Even my master can’t catch you.
Aren’t I humiliating myself
if I do it？
Since you know it,
how dare you to come alone to me?
I just want to ask you
what did you come
to the palace for?
I haven’t decided yet.
So I can’t answer you.
But I can tell you.
In this place,
a lot of interesting things
will happen.
One more question.
What’s your relationship
with Yang Jian’s sister, Daji?
That’s an easy question.
As long as
you and Yang Jian don’t butt in,
we’ll be in peace.
If you make trouble
and mess up with me one day,
I’ll tear you into pieces
Listen.
If you dare to commit a sin, I won’t let go of you.
Bombastic!
That’s
more like your master.
The queen sent me.
She asked me
to tell her
whatever I saw and hear
in Shouxian Palace.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, Your Grace.
In this world,
I can believe no one.
I’m sorry, Your Grace.
Get up.
Wipe your tears.
Ruili, from now on,
you can still
tell the queen
what happens in Shouxian Palace.
But…
you should only tell her
what I ask you to.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
Will you listen to me?
Yes.
From now on,
I’ll call you Li’er, okay?
Okay.
I’ll be Li’er from now on.
Thank you for giving me the name.
So beautiful!
You can use this for the family party.
Mother. Mother.
Mother.
Jiao’er.
Your Grace, I’ll go get the tea.
Go ahead.
Yes.
What’s wrong?
Why are you so flustered?
Mother, do you remember
when you asked about my dream
when I woke up
days ago?
I told you I forgot it.
Yeah.
You told me that.
I lied.
Some dreams could be forgotten.
But some were too deep
to be forgotten.
Why did you lie to me?
I’m scared.
Of what?
In the dream,
I dreamt that
Daji turned into you.
Besides,
your eyes were bleeding.
It was such a sinister dream!
I’m afraid you may have bad luck.
So I didn’t dare to tell you.
Last night when I fell asleep,
I dreamed about that
once again.
I realized that
not your eyes were bleeding.
But the eyes of a bird
were bleeding.
I woke up with joy.
Mother, you’ll be safe.
I remembered it incorrectly.
But…
Why were the bird’s eyes
bleeding?
It was Daji.
She stabbed
the bird’s eyes.
Without the eyes to see,
the bird couldn’t see anything.
It could do nothing but sing.
Therefore,
it sang with all its strength.
It sounded
as if it were singing for the last time
I could never
such a vicious way
in the world.
Yeah.
She got the best song
in the most vicious way.
It’s quite her way.
After I woke up,
I was still worried.
Maybe
I remembered it incorrectly again?
Jiao’er.
Remember!
You’re the crown prince.
You’re the future king of our country.
A king must be confident.
A king can’t be incorrect.
He mustn’t be wrong.
Others must be wrong.
What if I really make a mistake?
Even if
you’re aware of
your mistake,
you can’t admit it. Keep it in mind!
Senior Brother, haven’t you had enough of the view?
Old stuff. Why could I?
Every time I come here,
I can see you
looking far into the distance,
instead of regretting.
I wonder what you are looking at.
Only mountains and clouds are ahead.
Bai He.
Have you thought of it
why are the Kunlun Mountains
known as the holy place,
yet so boring?
Senior Brother.
How could you say that?
You always
respect the Kunlun Mountains most!
I did!
But Master turned me into this.
Not until I stood here
did I realize that
he never took me as his apprentice.
You’re almost
in the same condition with me.
I don’t know.
I don’t understand
what you mean.
I’m a beast
and you’re a bird.
We both are not human beings.
But we have bodies
after the cultivation,
just like other apprentices of Master.
Master will also
teach us magic arts.
Tell me.
Have you heard him
cursing anyone else
evil animal?
No.
So he has never taken us
as his apprentices.
When the inevitable
disaster occurs,
do you think
he will protect us?
No.
If he cared for us,
He wouldn’t have
turned a blind eye to that bane!
Disaster?
Do you mean
the chaos over three realms?
Yang Jian’s Dark Eye of Heaven?
Is the exact bane
Master turned a blind eye to.
If we want to
get rid of the disaster
and keep safe,
there’s only one thing we can do.
To kill Yang Jian.
But Master asked us to let nature take its course
in the process of cultivation.
What do you mean nature?
It means following our own hears.
Jiang Ziya followed his heart
to protect Yang Jian.
We can also follow our heart
to kill Yang Jian.
I didn’t mean that.
Do you want your cultivation over thousands of years
to vanish like soap bubbles?
Do you want to
suffer from reincarnation
without any hope?
I…
You don’t want it!
Master said
Yang Jian carried great secrets of the heaven.
It’ll not be that easy
to kill him.
Even if we don’t kill Yang Jian in the secular world,
the secret power
will create a monster,
even more horrible than
the Dark Eye of Heaven.
I know it, Junior Brother.
I also know
you have a magic weapon.
Get faster, all of you!
Yes.
- Hurry. Hurry. - Yes.
Take it over there.
Hurry. Hurry.
Put them here.
- Okay. - Hurry.
Hey you! Hurry! This way!
Let’s wait and see.
Hasn’t Consort Su arrived yet?
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Consort Su, what are you doing?
Why is she kneeling?
Get up.
Consort Su,
it’s your first time attend such a party.
You may possibly get confused.
You don’t need to
kneel at such a party.
Yeah.
You should have
taken the advice of the queen.
She cares for you.
I’m not
from a noble family
like you and the queen.
So…
I should
salute more.
Fine. Take your seats.
Consort Su.
What do you want me for, Your Highness?
Are you on your way to the family party?
You invited us to the family party
for something you care for?
You should know
Yang Jian is
Consort Su’s brother, shouldn’t you?
Why did you ask
Yang Jian to the party?
You shouldn’t have
taken him to the palace.
Because it’s his fate.
It’s destined.
I don’t think so.
You want Yang Jian
not to know
how his sister is going
or what danger he is in.
and keep him in the dark.
Is that good?
But we don’t have a choice.
Yang Jian
is the only one
who can persuade Consort Su.
In this way,
do you still not
want him to the party?
Besides,
if I fail to kill the demon,
maybe Yang Jian
can save her.
He’s the only family
she has now.
I believe
my apprentice
must have a way to get rid of adversity.
I trust him.
But,
Your Majesty.
why don’t you worry about Xiao’e?
What?
When you go to the party with us,
your identity
will be exposed.
Your Majesty.
Ask the queen to
take the seat first.
In the imperial harem,
Her Grace is the most honorable.
How can a consort take a seat before her?
Consort Su.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Hold the queen to her seat.
Yes.
Your Grace, let me help.
Come on. My queen.
Take your seat.
Aren’t you going so far
by doing this to me?
Even if you’re joking,
it’s kind of rude, isn’t it?
What do you mean rude?
I didn’t ask a palace maid,
but Consort Su to help you.
What else can be
ruder than that?
Do you think
I should
turn a blind eye?
If you can’t bear it anymore, send a message.
I’ve already sent the tiger tally.
But East Marquis
hasn’t left to put down the rebellion yet.
What does he want?
To allow our enemy to grow?
Send a message.
I won’t forget
what you and your father do.
Besides,
you’re sitting
right next to me, aren’t you?
Finally, we can get together at the party.
Be happy, everyone.
Let’s get it started.
You should get changed now.
What have you got?
Do you know
where my sister is?
No.
You’ll see her soon.
See her? Where?
When? Today?
We’re going right away.
Wait.
You haven’t told me
when I could see her yet.
Don’t rush.
You’ll see her soon.
Are you going or not?
Yeah! Let’s go and fight the demon.
Yeah. Go.
Let’s go get the demon.
Miss Xiao’e, wait.
I’m… Uh…
What? Why the mutter?
Can’t you just talk?
What?
Do you have a lot
to tell Xiao’e,
but fail?
What are you talking about?
Ridiculous!
Brother, go get changed.
Uncle, Lord Wucheng, bottom up.
Your Majesty.
The burning torture is ready.
Please give the order.
Lord Wucheng and Uncle
have brought
their cooks
to make a famous dish with it.
Wait to enjoy it.
Your Majesty, I hold the party
just to
enjoy a peaceful moment.
But when you
do the burning,
how can I eat?
Your Majesty.
Why can’t we burn some food?
After I cook some,
we’ll eat, talk
and enjoy the dance. What do you think?
Awesome! Awesome!
Look! What a big goose!
You’re small, but that’s big.
That’s smaller than you!
You’re bigger than it.
Small and big.
Annoying!
Why did you hit me?
Because you talked madness!
Yang Jian.
Do you remember
the agreement we made?
What… what agreement?
You promised me that
you wouldn’t act rashly
to save his sister.
without my permission
Yes.
Do you remember
why we made this agreement?
Yes.
You said
if I acted rashly,
many people would be involved
because of me.
You must
keep that in mind.
Yes.
What’s up? Time to go.
Miss Xiao’e.
Why do you always grab me?
They’re going far.
Give it back to me.
What do you mean?
The corner of your dress.
What do you want it for?
That’s mine.
Sure not.
Accurately, it’s mine.
I wonder
how you got it.
After you gave it to me,
that was mine.
Come on.
Why do you want
such a broken piece of cloth?
Let me throw it for you.
You can throw it away.
But I can’t.
Please give it back to me.
All right?
Bravo! Consort Yang trained them well.
Awesome!
Long live Your Majesty.
Lower your head.
All guests here
are royalties
and consorts.
Do not look around.
Come on.
Please.
Immortal, come in please.
Wait here with me.
You mustn’t look up
without permission.
Remember?
Cheers.
Please come with me.
Yeah. it’s been a long time.
Yeah. Cheers.
Okay.
Who is he?
Sorry, Your Majesty.
I forgot to tell you that
this was the immortal
I invited from the Kunlun Mountains.
He’s honest,
and powerful in magic arts.
Early this morning,
I asked him
to check around the palace.
I think he’s coming back to report
after he checked around.
An immortal? An immortal?
What?
You found
another monster
Your Majesty.
Please let me finish.
Last time,
I was so rash
that I took Consort Su as the demon incorrectly.
Du Yuanxian is to blame.
He fooled us.
He’s dead.
But Your Majesty, think about it.
He has been in the palace for years.
What if
he has left some disciples?
That’ll be dangerous, isn’t it?
That’s why
I asked the immortal to check around.
We can never be too careful.
Okay.
Get him up.
His Majesty asked you to get up.
Please.
You’re the immortal?
The world of immortality is vast.
I just learned from the Primeval Lord of Heaven
for forty years
and got some superficial knowledge.
I don’t dare to call myself Immortal,
in fear that Master might punish me.
It’s said that
the Primeval Lord of Heaven is the supreme in the fairyland
with the best magical powers.
Why did you
come to our nation
instead of cultivating yourself?
Immortals in the fairyland
are turned from mortals.
Since mortals can go up,
we can also come down.
Those immortals
used to be mortals?
The wine in your cup
used to be ordinary grains, didn’t it?
You made some sense. Give him a seat.
What’s your monastic name?
I’m Jiang Ziya.
Haven’t got a monastic name yet.
Old man.
Answer me.
Why do you
cultivate for immorality?
To leave the secular world
and to be alive for evermore.
Ridiculous!
A man grows and dies.
There’s no such thing as immortality.
We divine and cultivate ourselves for immortality.
With such deduction, we may get immortal.
I’m over eighty years old
and kind of healthy.
You mean immortality is available?
The world has its own way to go.
There are rules for human’s fates.
Among all creatures,
human beings are best for cultivation
and will experience the natural law in the easiest way.
Can a man like me
to be cultivated
for immortality?
Then I should ask you
if you want to let go of the wine,
the beauties beside you,
the prestige of a king
Or the beautiful country?
No, I won’t.
I’m already living a celestial life.
Why would I seek for the fucking immortality?
Good question, huh?
Your Majesty.
Don’t get fooled.
If he really is an immortal,
ask him to show something.
I don’t believe him before I see it.
Lord Wucheng?
Yes.
16 years ago,
at your son’s birthday party when he was three,
you threw him up to play with him.
Unexpectedly, he disappeared out of nowhere.
How?
How did you know that?
You did it?
In less than one year,
you wife died of depression.
She had never talked to you again
even before she died.
Screw you!
I didn’t do that.
Besides, your son is fine.
Why are you so irritable?
Really? My nephew is still alive?
Where is he?
He’s fine.
Rest assured, My Lord.
That’s all I know.
I can’t tell you more.
Brother, sit down. Sit down.
You really are something, Immortal.
I really admire you.
This is the party of His Majesty.
If you want some details, Lord Wucheng,
find another day
to ask him with Consort Huang.
Brother. Brother.
Your Majesty.
He lives up to his reputation, doesn’t he?
Yeah.
He really is something.
In this case,
why don’t you
divine for me?
Your Majesty, you have a great fate.
Immortal.
There’s no doubt that
His Majesty has a great fate.
But…
that simple answer
doesn’t count.
Tell something in detail.
His Majesty is the king. If I tell more,
I’ll be giving away the secrets of heaven.
It does harm
to His Majesty and me.
Since Her Grace asked,
I would say something more.
Your Majesty, what do you want to know?
Life span.
You live as the country stands.
You share the same span with your country.
Long live Your Majesty.
Long stands our country.
Long live Your Majesty. Long stands our country.
Boring.
I wonder
how Master is doing now?
How long will we keep waiting?
He’s already in the party.
Why don’t we get in and have a look?
There are rules in the palace.
Before you are summoned,
you must stay here.
Do you think you can
boss us around like we’re dogs?
We’re not waiting any more.
Stop!
Do you know
what you’ll get for this?
One more step
and you’ll commit high treason
and be executed.
Do you know what party this is?
The most prominent royalties
are attending it.
If you give offence
and spoil the enjoyment
of the Majesty and ministers.
not only you,
even your master
will be executed.
Do remember!
You’re humble
and uninvited.
One false move can end in death.
Get them in.
Your Highness?
I allow them to come in.
Your Highness, but they’re not…
They can come in the party
with my invitation.
Come in.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Your Highness.
He’s…
Your Highness.
the crown prince?
Son of the king.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
I warned Jiang Ziya.
But he still took Yang Jian here.
Come on.
Cheers, everybody.
Today, we shall enjoy the party together
with fewer rules.
Raise your cups and cheers!
Long live Your Majesty.
Come on.
Great wine.
Get me…
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Nice to meet you.
Your Grace.
I’ve got something to tell you.
Not now.
Long live Your Majesty, Father.
You’re late.
I had something important to attend to.
So I’m late. Sorry, Father.
Who are they?
They’re
apprentices of the new immortal
in the Bureau of Astronomy.
But I only see one.
Somebody! Get her a seat.
His Majesty commanded to get her a seat.
This way please, Your Majesty.
This way, please.
Where’s Bro. Yang Jian gone?
And where is Master?
Your Grace.
Thank you for the tea.
What are you thinking about?
What do you mean?
I don’t know
what tricks
you’ve been using lately
to protect yourself.
But you know what?
I disdain to
play any more trick with you.
Now…
All that you can do
is to kneel in front of me
and beg me to spare you.
I’ll make you
die a horrible death.
You’ll die in pieces
just like
Su Hu,
his wife
and people
in Jizhou.
