Eternal Love of Dream
Episode 35
You're awake?
Do you feel uncomfortable?
His Majesty!
How come he treats me so gently?
It must be a dream.
Since it is a dream,
I can take this advantage to fulfill some of my unrealized dreams.
His Majesty is surprisingly real
in the dream.
This is unbelievable!
Do you need me to teach you
how to inhale and exhale at this time?
This has always been the custom in Qingqiu.
Don't be such a bumpkin
and judge me!
You are just
a thirty-thousand-year-old little fox.
Do you really know such custom?
Anyway,
as a locally born and bred fairy,
I don't even know
what type of custom that is.
His Majesty can't know it either.
Did you just breathe?
It's a big taboo in Qingqiu.
A cousin of the grey wolf next door
got disengaged by his fiancée
because of this.
It's something disrespectful.
This custom is pretty interesting.
I have never tried it.
It's pretty good
to follow the Qingqiu custom.
That's very shameful of you to say so!
Do you still remember
who embraced first?
Eh...
Admittedly...
Admittedly, it was I who embraced first,
but this is nothing but my dream.
I can do whatever I want.
You are just my imagination.
I can take advantage of you if I like to,
but you can't do otherwise.
There isn't any rule to follow
in my dream anyway,
so don't reason with me.
My words are the only rule.
So you take this as a dream!
I was wondering
why you became so open all of a sudden
and
didn't get mad.
What do you mean?
Isn't this a dream?
Where am I?
Why would I be mad?
Did I really
take advantage of you?
Do you still remember
what were you doing before you fell asleep, Xiaobai?
I seem to have lost the memory.
Your hands are so cold.
Are you afraid?
What is there to be afraid of
while I'm here?
You just lost your head from too much sleep.
It happens if you sleep too much.
Do you remember what happened lately?
I don't think it matters
if you lost your memories of everything.
Since
you're not my dream,
this is not the Sky Kingdom either.
So
why are you here with me
as this is not the Sky Kingdom?
And,
how did you get an injury?
Where are we?
It's nothing, Xiaobai!
This place is called the Dream of Aranya.
Do you remember
when you left Tai Chen Palace?
Isn't it a few months before
you married Her Majesty?
She only has the memory
as the spiritual fox in the Sky Kingdom.
That's why she didn't get mad at me.
This is much easier for me.
The Dream of Aranya
can disturb the memories of the severely injured.
The severely injured?
Am I injured again?
What's the Dream of Aranya for?
This is a ward
similar to the Ten-evil Lotus Land.
Yan Chiwu trapped me here.
You worried about me,
so you hurried here to save me.
Yan Chiwu is too powerful.
He trapped you twice!
And he trapped you too!
We couldn't get out of here
and have to stay.
Why is he
so malignant?
So,
how come I don't have any memory
of the part he trapped you again
and I rushed to save you?
Because you slept too much, Xiaobai.
Don't you always come to save me
when I get trapped?
You do know I am that little fox.
Why do you come to know now?
It's my fault.
No big deal anyway.
You had been good to me
before Ji Heng came to the Tai Chen Palace.
You became bad to me
only after Ji Heng came.
Don't be bothered by that.
Ji Heng
is the one you love.
But I am nothing more
than a spiritual pet
in the Tai Chen Palace.
I scratched her
and you imprisoned me as a consequence.
That's nothing wrong actually.
It doesn't matter
that you didn't come to see me.
You were preparing for the marriage to Ji Heng.
That involves a lot of red tape
and rituals.
I'm just fine that
you forgot about me at the time.
You need to mind least of all
for the incident that
your favorite spiritual pet lately almost killed me.
Now
I've figured out a set of logic
to understand it.
If I had let Chong Lin
arrest me that day,
this incident would not have happened.
I can't blame everyone and everything but myself.
It's all destined anyhow
that all the bad luck would fall on me.
Maybe, god wants to use
all the sufferings I had in your palace to show that
our destinies are not tied at all.
So,
I just...
Xiaobai,
so what do you want to do?
It's been an hour since Xiaobai woke up.
She lost all her cultivation
after falling into the Dream of Aranya
and recovered from the primordial spirit injury
with my supply of blood three times a day.
Her body is still pretty weak.
Even if I make a recovery seal
with my own spiritual power,
Xiaobai's body must be put in it
within two hours
after she wakes up
so that it can work effectively.
The seal is a good place for recovery,
but it's improper to keep the primordial spirit in there for a long time.
For Xiaobai's case,
it's best to put her primordial spirit
into the body of local clans
so that it can absorb some vitality all the time.
As for the Dream of Aranya,
no hurry to get out of it.
Xiaobai hates me in her heart now.
But there is only one hour left
before putting her into the recovery seal
and she has only one hour to hate me.
It's a waste to everyone
to go through the last hour.
What's up, Your Majesty?
Why do you look so worried?
Xiaobai,
actually, we're already engaged.
Engaged?
How is that possible?
Why is that not possible?
Why don't I remember that at all?
Because
you're amnesiac.
I said you slept too much just now
because I was worried you'd be afraid after knowing this.
But in fact,
you're amnesiac.
How unlucky I am!
But how could I have promised the engagement?
I...
Because you liked me, didn't you?
However, it can't be this reason.
If this is the reason,
then what I did before was...
That's only one of them.
The major reason is
I kneeled down to beg for your forgiveness.
You...
You kneeled down in front of me?
Why do you marry me?
Did you do something to me already
so you had to?
What about your love, Ji Heng?
Ji Heng?
Why do you think like that?
Ji Heng and I are not in the same age.
There is nothing between us.
Then,
I...
Actually,
this is still a dream.
I'm not having a dream.
Then we're indeed engaged.
I'm more and more confused about this.
I have more questions to ask.
If as you said we're already engaged,
how did my father
come to accept it?
My father has always been
a very earthly immortal.
You are not from a powerful family,
nor do you have any power in hand.
They should not consider you
as the son-in-law.
Qingqiu has such a rule
to choose a son-in-law?
I didn't know that.
Maybe Bai Yi thought even though
I don't have the so-called promising future,
I kneeled down for you
which showed the uprightness and loyalty in my personality
and made myself pathetic, so he accepted it.
Uprightness and loyalty?
Did my father say that?
He also thinks you're pathetic?
Qingqiu has always been soft-hearted
and easily become merciful.
That's true.
It looks like you are indeed not bluffing.
So I am already engaged with you.
However,
Your Majesty,
other than kneeling down,
you must have done something more humiliating, haven't you?
Don't you cheat on me
just as I no longer remember it.
It's such an underestimation
that you'd think mere kneeling
can make me come round.
I don't believe that.
What should I do
to make you understand it, Xiaobai?
His Majesty must become shy
as he starts to ask me rather than answer my questions.
Anyway,
he must have done a lot of things outside the box
to get me back.
He just doesn't want to recall them now.
What do you want me to do, Xiaobai?
Well,
I heard that
opening of chest can best prove
how a person loves the other.
My aunt told me
chest opening is very popular in the mortal realm
to show your love to someone.
Nothing is more sincere
as the mortal dies once the chest is opened
and death can show their high ideal.
The ideal has to be loyal and thus trustworthy.
Anyway,
this is just for saying,
as you suddenly asked me
what I want you to do.
I just speak as my mind goes.
That's just a lead-in.
If I really have anything that needs your help,
I'll write that down
and redeem it with you afterwards.
We're engaged anyway.
No worries for that.
Fine!
Let's keep it on record!
Come to me whenever you want.
Your hands are so cold.
I've put nerve soothing incense into this heating stove.
It's good for sleep.
We're indeed engaged.
His Majesty accepted whatever I said today.
And he added incense to my heating stove.
Even the red rain is not this hardly attainable.
Enjoy the heating!
I wanted to know what kind of incense you added.
I don't think
that's what you are thinking.
So it is this!
I... I wasn't thinking about this.
I was thinking that
since we're engaged,
I should never have been the one to kiss you proactively.
Your Majesty must have taken the initiative
because
I'm a restrained person.
Well said.
I did take the initiative.
When you recover after a few months
and get out of the seal,
will your chaotic memory get corrected
and you hate me more when you recall this?
Xiaobai,
what should I say to cheer you up by then?
Will this really work?
We have no solution
other than waiting.
The risk is unpredictable
to save someone in the Dream of Aranya.
There once was a god
casting a strong spell in it.
No one ever got rescued out of it.
Instead, the ward was broken.
The god and the person to be rescued all ended up going to the netherworld.
Though His Majesty has enormous magic power,
the Dream of Aranya
doesn't accept great magic power
to work against it.
They've been there for quite some hours.
I'm worried that
His Majesty and Jiuge
may have ended up in disaster.
Whatever happens,
His Majesty will surely protect her.
You protect the Dream of Aranya
like a soft-shelled egg
that allows no touch.
In my opinion,
since every way is ominous,
we might as well smash it with a hammer
so that we can see whether they're still alive.
The ice face is useless
except his strong magic power
which can be used to protect Xiaojiu
when the dream breaks.
He has lived for so long anyway.
A few years less
means nothing to him.
Compared with being trapped in the dream,
this idea sounds feasible
even though it's a long shot gamble.
I'm also sort of interested
as to whether the Dream of Aranya
can trap His Majesty!
In all, you have no solution to it.
Gods like you
are never helpful.
So you have any solutions?
I...
I don't have either.
Yan, where are you going?
Finding out solutions.
Stay obedient while you're here!
I'll return your primordial spirit
after some time.
Dong Hua!
Are you sick?
Which medicine in Fanyin Valley
can match the god's blood?
Let me save you.
Where is this place?
Your Highness!
Your Highness Aranya, you finally wake up!
I'm so scared.
Who are you?
I'm Chacha!
Your Highness Aranya, you've been sleeping for quite a long time.
Aranya?
Go to fetch the porridge in the kitchen
for Her Highness now.
They call me Aranya.
Is my name Aranya?
Why don't I have
any impression
about what happened before?
No impression either
to these people
or this place.
Who is Aranya?
-Your Highness! -Who am I?
Your Highness!
Your Highness, are you alright?
You've been sleeping for so long
that you must be hungry.
This is abalone lotus seed cubilose porridge
made just now by the kitchen.
Please take some, Your Highness!
Put it here!
I'm not so hungry now.
Leave me please!
I'll let you know if I need your help.
Yes!
The infant in my dream just now
must be Aranya.
But who is the youngster?
Gosh!
What crime on earth did I commit?
Why don't I have any memory at all?
The demons have been silent for more than a century.
Is the demons' gathering
still necessary?
Your Highness,
you said we can make peace through intermarriage
when we started war against the gods.
But what now?
Intermarriage is screwed.
Even the princess is gone.
Stop talking!
Is that for you to say?
OK. I'll stop!
But why is Demon Lord Yan
missing for so long?
I suppose his Qingxuan Hall
is covered by weed now.
Speaking ill of me?
Aren't you afraid
I'll cut your tongue off?
Yan Chiwu,
where have you been?
Xu Yang, I found Ji Heng now.
She's trapped in Fanyin Valley.
Fanyin Valley?
Why is she there?
She is poisoned by Qiushui Cold Toxin.
Emperor Dong Hua
put her there to rehabilitate.
Before her rehabilitation, she couldn't get out.
Emperor Dong Hua put her there?
Yes!
Only Emperor Dong Hua can take her
to a place as bad as that.
Ji Heng's toxin can only be detoxicated
in the Fanyin Valley.
Now Dong Hua and Fengjiu, the Princess of Qingqiu,
are both trapped in the place called Dream of Aranya.
It's unknown whether they can get out or not.
Ji Heng is so heart-broken
that she insisted on staying there with Dong Hua!
Come with me to get Dong Hua out!
Ji Heng will be assured that way.
Demon Lord Yan,
where did you say they are?
The Dream of Aranya.
Really?
Is that true?
I witnessed Dong Hua
walking in without his magic power.
It's unknown whether he is alive or not.
Even so,
it's a great chance given by god
to the demons.
Great!
It's been over a hundred years
since anything fresh happened.
We should take this chance
to sabotage the gods.
Without Emperor Dong Hua,
I think
they should be very worried.
I promised Min Su
to set Ji Heng free.
Demon Lord,
this is a very rare opportunity!
Don't be worried.
The demons have been idle for so long.
If we really start war with the gods,
how much possibility of winning
do you think we have?
How much possibility of winning?
I want you to rescue someone
not to take advantage of a perilous state.
Have you forgotten the dignity of the demons?
Dignity means nothing now.
Just chill!
Just think that
it's still unknown if Emperor Dong Hua will come back.
We'll conserve strength and store up energy now.
If he really doesn't return,
we'll announce war by then.
Announcement of war
is nothing small.
Let's discuss that later.
Yes!
There you come!
Nie Chuyin pays respects
to Your Majesty!
Enough!
Why do you come to me today?
Yan Chiwu's said that
Emperor Dong Hua is trapped in the Dream of Aranya.
Your Majesty,
this is the perfect chance for you to break the seal.
What did you say?
What happened to Dong Hua?
I said
Emperor Dong Hua is
in the Dream of Aranya in Fanyin Valley.
No wonder I feel my power increased greatly the other days.
It's because you entered the Dream of Aranya.
Dong Hua,
I'll never let you get out alive.
Everything here looks so strange.
Forget it.
I think I have to ask the guy up there
and get out alive anyhow.
Sit down!
Sit down now! I need to ask you something.
What is this?
This is lily cake which you like most.
So I like lily cake most?
Yeah!
What's up, Your Highness?
Nothing!
I just want to see
if you understand me best.
Let me test you again.
What liquor do I like best?
Lotus Dew!
If you get some of my questions right
in future,
I'll give you rewards.
Thank you!
Do you have any other questions?
Why don't you ask altogether?
How greedy you are!
I've rewarded you already!
Stay content!
Aranya must not have stuck to the trifles in usual
and treated her maids pretty well,
otherwise Chacha
wouldn't have dared to speak to me like that.
Come with me to check out on that side.
Why don't you come?
Your Highness,
it's getting late. You should take shower now.
Time for shower?
Fine! Let's get back to the room.
It's actually good to be served with shower.
Chacha, what is that?
Snake oil.
Snake oil?
You have told me before that
bathing with this snake oil
refreshes the body and drives away dampness.
So you require this to be added
whenever you take shower.
My gosh!
However wrong I am,
you can't torture me like this.
I'm most afraid of snakes.
The 20 years of cultivation is done.
How are you,
Aranya?
Sleep here in future.
Don't sleep on the grassland.
Even though you grew up in the snake nest,
you're not a snake.
You're the princess of the inseparable king birds,
so you must have a name.
Now that your parents didn't give you a name,
let me give you one.
Aranya!
This is your name.
If I say these three characters in future,
it means I'm calling you.
Understood?
Aranya.
I'm Shen Ye,
your cousin.
You are Aranya,
Xiangli Aranya!
Aranya!
In a few days, I'm going to start a long-term cultivation in reclusion.
It has been delayed over and over again,
but it can't be escaped after all.
I must fulfill the duty as an archmage.
Aranya,
after I leave,
no one will be here to take care of you.
If you are hungry,
eat the fruit of the Solanum pseudocapsicum.
If you're thirsty, take the water of Jieyou Spring.
Don't live on snake blood any more.
Do you understand?
I'll be back for sure.
I'll come to save you
when I become the archmage.
Aranya,
I am your only relative.
They may have abandoned you,
but you have me.
Cousin, wait!
Cousin, are you still busy with the affairs from the palace?
And have you met Aranya?
Last time I was playing with Sister Junuo in the garden,
she wanted to play with us.
Aranya?
She is back?
Don't you know about that?
Father intended to betroth Aranya
to Lord Xi Ze
in the hall today.
What?
She will marry to my master?
