Episode 30
How can I steal the pimpon fruit?
Jiuge.
What are you thinking? You seem so obsessed.
Nothing.
Why are you so early, Jielu?
Cause I want to get a good seat
where I can be close to the master.
I may fail to get one if I'm late.
Jiuge.
Are you here for a seat, too?
No, I just woke up early.
I thought you were going to fight over the master with me.
Is there anyone else?
Who else will there be?
Of course the musician.
Every time when the master is giving a lesson,
she is always showing her attention nearby.
I wonder if Ji Heng still remember
what happened in the mortal world.
Jiuge,
are you listening to me?
Yes, I'm listening.
The musician came to
inseparable king birds in distress over 200 years ago.
And the master came here to give lectures
the second year after that.
For all these years,
only she has been there to serve him.
Turns out Ji Heng is the reason
why His Majesty is here.
That's typical of him.
The master particularly sets the tea class
in Water Moon Pond,
where the surroundings change from
the season of winter to what seems to be spring in just a few days.
It is so fantastic!
Anything that takes more time and patience,
he's more intrigued.
That's one of his ways of killing time for he's been living for too long.
The master's here. The master's here.
Come on. Sit.
Sit down.
Yan, come and have a seat.
Xiaojiu, why didn't you call me when you leave?
I'm almost late.
You said you didn't want to take the tea class.
But Ji Heng is here.
Master,
are we drinking Xieyanqing Tea today?
I want to take the liberty of
using the tea ware of Rose Green as containers.
Why?
Master, I know you often use Black Glaze.
But I think
the color of the celadon
is a great match with that of Xieyanqing Tea,
which conveys a sense of freshness,
and highlights the scenery today.
Why making it so complicated?
I'd go the easy way.
The spirit of drinking tea
lies in the process of making tea.
There are three boiling stages.
Observing and listening are important during the process.
When water boils like fish blowing bubbles in water with slight sound,
it's the first step of boiling.
When it's like spring gushing over the rim with louder sound,
it comes to the second stage.
When it's like sea rolling its waves with intense sound,
it is the third stage.
Ji Heng can stay by His Majesty's side
like the way she did in Tai Chen Palace.
While I can only look at them from a distance.
I have explained the method of making tea
very clearly.
Now it's your time to get yourselves familiar with it.
Master,
can I make
a proposal?
Sure.
Why don't we have a tea competition?
Master will be the judge,
and the students will compete against one another.
It can be a good way to test
if the students ever listened carefully in class
and for them to show what they've learnt.
It works out for everyone.
Nice.
Yan. Let's make a group.
I thought you've been getting well with Princess Jiuge.
Why don't you choose her?
I know she's not good at tea art,
so I won't go up against her.
Fine, I will lose to anyone anyway.
All 15 students have got matched
except Princess Jiuge.
Are you willing to be my rival, Princess Jiuge?
It's unfair.
Everyone knows musician is exceptionally skillful in tea art.
Jiuge is a beginner.
Musician is too strong for her.
I learn my tea art from master.
Me and Princess Jiuge
are both master's students.
Why can't
we compete against each other?
Besides,
Princess Jiuge hasn't said anything yet.
Princess Jielu, why are you so concerned?
Okay.
Let's do this.
I'm not afraid.
Great.
Then let's do it first.
The tea made by musician has a delightful aroma, and it tastes sweet and smooth.
Very good tea making skills.
And the tea made by Princess Jiuge
has a bright color.
It's tasteless at first sip,
but the sweet taste lingers on at second sip.
Very unique way.
Both teas have their strong points.
It's too close to call.
Musician said it earlier
that the tea competition
is to test if students listened carefully in class.
Jiuge.
Do you remember
what I said about the first step?
Water first or tea first?
Musician is the winner
in this round.
Let's take a break for a quarter of an hour.
Next group. Jielu and Yan Chiwu.
Wait.
You got something to say to me?
I would take it if I'm less skillful.
But you just decided that I lost
by inventing a reason.
What was that all about?
Have you listened to
what I just said?
Just because I didn't listen carefully in your class?
I didn't know that you like holding a grudge.
Clearly you were not listening to me.
Did I have to listen to what you said?
I shouldn't have asked you.
Don't move.
What?
You can go now.
Do you know that Ji Heng talked to me today
for quite a few words?
Your group is up. Go.
Yan, don't just sit there and watch.
Get started now.
Alright, time's up.
Yan,
your water overflowed.
I think
she might have an intention of accepting me.
So she started talking to me over the competition.
I was talking to you.
Your tea has gone cold. Don't drink it.
What did he mean?
Xiaojiu.
What's wrong with you lately?
You have been drifting off.
I am talking to you.
What did you say?
I said,
don't care what the ice face said.
I came for you today
because Meng asked us to go drinking in Zuilixian Restaurant.
Go drinking again?
I told you last time.
There are some new dancers in Zuilixian Restaurant.
Let's go and have a look.
Okay, let's go.
Why hasn't Jielu come here?
Well, she has been in lock-in for a few days.
Why does she have to go for a lock-in?
It's said that pimpon fruit of this year
can help keep you forever young.
So she wants that.
The tournament is about to begin.
But Imperial College does not arrange His Majesty to give lessons recently.
So she thought she might as well lock herself in to do training.
Well, that explains it.
Meng,
these are the new dancers you were talking about?
Yeah.
What do you think? Not bad, huh?
Way worse than Musician Ji Heng.
The tournament is going to begin so soon.
I guess
I have to speed up.
The dancers dance so well and are so good-looking.
Meng, you do have a good eye.
I'll propose a toast to you.
Cheers.
Fanyin Valley is such a good place.
Beautiful views and beautiful girls.
And the one and only fruiting pimpon tree
in the universe is here.
I thought you wanted to leave here.
Why are you praising it today?
I didn't get used to it when I just got here.
It's lucky for me to have you guys as my friends.
Meng,
cheers.
Meng,
cheers.
I'll fill you up.
Cheers.
Speaking of pimpon tree,
I heard the sound of boa constrictors
when I passed by Jieyou Spring the other day.
I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground.
I didn't know you could be scared of anything.
I fell into a snake nest by accident
when I was little.
Haven't you heard the saying that
a burnt child dreads the fire?
The four boa constrictors are super fierce.
You have to be extremely careful.
Stay away from the snake form.
Will they come out?
Don't worry.
They won't.
They are there to protect pimpon tree.
They won't leave easily.
As long as you don't go steal pimpon fruit,
they won't hurt you.
They won't leave easily?
You mean
they do leave there at some time?
Meng, let's drink.
Okay.
Cheers.
Top it off.
Let me tell you a secret.
During the full moon,
when Yin Qi reaches its prime,
the four boa constrictors will leave there for a few hours
to absorb spirits of heaven and earth.
Spiritual snakes.
Meng,
drink.
Okay, cheers.
Warrior Yan.
Meng said that during the full moon,
the four boa constrictors will leave, right?
I know you want to steal the fruit.
There are a few hours for you
to try some luck.
Wait a second.
Hello, I want two tomatoes on sticks.
You can keep the change.
You...
Okay, you can take as many as you want.
Okay, thank you.
There you go.
Warrior Yan.
Let's go steal pimpon fruit.
No.
I heard the pimpon fruit this year
can help you improve your cultivation.
I am good enough.
I don't need pimpon fruit for that.
Take it.
I heard the pimpon fruit this year
can not only improve your cultivation,
but also has the effect of keeping female immortals forever young
and making male immortals stronger and more handsome.
Do you think
Ji Heng prefers a strong and handsome man
or a man with porcelain skin like you?
I'll go with you.
Half each when we get the fruit.
Deal.
Just let me know if I can be of any help.
I've already done some research.
Pimpon fruit is in the middle,
surrounded by the boa constrictors.
We won't be able to get it
if we go in there bare-handed.
Do you have a better way?
According to Meng,
the four boa constrictors
will leave there for a few hours.
We can dig a tunnel
to pimpon tree
and come out
when the four boa constrictors
leave to absorb spirits of heaven and earth.
And then we leave from the tunnel after we get pimpon fruit.
In that way, no one will even know about it.
You are so smart.
Let's go dig the tunnel today
and start to take action tomorrow.
Cool.
Is it done?
Yes.
Do you think we should go down and have a check?
Can the tunnel really connect to pimpon tree?
It's not necessary.
My Locating Magic can't go wrong.
Let's go back.
We'll come here at this time tomorrow.
Wait.
I think you should find something
to cover the hole.
It will be obvious
when the day breaks.
You're right.
Done.
Let's go.
Okay.
Master, you're back.
Master,
I've heated the soup for you.
Please drink it while it's hot.
You don't need to
take care of such trivial matters.
Looking after master
is my way of repaying your favors.
It won't consume much of my cultivation
to suppress Qiushui Toxin in you.
You don't have to worry about it.
Master, you have been so good to me.
For my happiness,
you helped me escape the wedding
at the risk of sacrificing your own reputation.
I'm very grateful for all that you've done for me.
As immortals, we have endless time in the world.
Don't be obsessed with things in the past.
But what have happened
is still so vivid to me.
Master, you come to Fanyin Valley once in ten years.
When you are not around,
Fanyin Valley is just
a silent place for cultivation for me,
with no enjoyment at all.
Only when master is around,
can this place be lively again.
I hope master can stay here longer.
So that
I can savor it in the following ten years.
This time,
I will try my best to cure Qiushui Cold Toxin in you.
Since you are not willing to go back to the world of the demons,
you can go
wherever you like
in the three worlds.
Master, don't get me wrong.
I don't expect anything else.
It was me who insisted on leaving.
Now
I'm too shamed to ask for any title.
All I want is an opportunity
to stay by your side,
so that I can repay your favors.
You don't need to stay by my side.
Is there someone
by your side already?
Or
is there someone on your mind already?
Is it...
Is it Princess Jiuge?
It's late.
Go back and sleep.
Okay.
All right.
I'll go down first since there's no one around.
What's wrong?
I think I should go check first, just in case.
Wait for me.
Be careful.
It's weird.
I remember I only dug one tunnel.
Why are there three sideways?
It's halfway past the time.
Why hasn't Yan Chiwu come back?
Does he...
Yan is a good person.
But he used to be a demon lord
who did many evil things.
Is he so damned that he got eaten up
by the boa constrictors?
What the hell is this place?
I'm supposed to come out from under pimpon tree.
Did I dig in the wrong direction?
Never mind.
I'll see if pimpon tree is nearby?
Why...
why did Yan Chiwu dig three tunnels?
We need only one.
It's taking too long for him to check the way.
Could he go the wrong way?
Where on earth is this place?
It's bad.
Sign of a red moon.
Evil spirits are going to come out.
Am I walking into a forbidden area
where evil spirits are bound?
Why don't you even look at me in the eyes, Your Majesty?
Am I not
beautiful enough?
Your Majesty.
You come here only once in ten years.
Do you know how hard and torturing it is
expecting you?
You Majesty.
I'll get mad if you
don't look at me.
Your Majesty, you are dating a banshee here?
What are you doing here?
Your Majesty, you are the most unromantic man
in the Eight Deserts and Six Directions.
Why are you bringing two friends while dating me?
Don't you know that I will be mad?
Oh, His Majesty was talking to her, not me.
Girl, you are so stubborn.
Why don't you leave with your friend?
Do you want to see me
and His Majesty spend the night?
Keep doing what you are doing.
I don't mind watching from aside.
You can tell.
The flowing currents in both of your bodies
are the result of
confrontation between strong spirits.
Foling Flower is the holly flower of Sky Kingdom.
It must be summoned here
by His Majesty
for cleansing his breath.
You seem intimate with each other,
but you are actually having a tough fight in disguise.
Who
are you?
Since you can see it,
you should leave right now.
Since you want to be a part of it,
I will give you the satisfaction.
You are just nobody.
How dare you challenge me?
In every move, mind should go earlier than hands.
The sword has to be drawn by the mind.
That's what it takes to win the battle.
Watch closely.
Ji Heng?
Ji Heng.
Why are you here alone
in the middle of the night?
You are crying.
Did the ice face pick on you?
I'll go confront him.
It's none of his business.
I...
I came out for a walk and got lost.
And I happened to see the sad and beautiful lotus pool under moonlight.
So I couldn't help being sentimental here.
No wonder.
Are you lost, too?
I got lost too.
Fanyin Valley is such a weird place.
Let me escort you back.
Thank you, Yan.
What did you call me?
Demon Lord
Yan.
No, no, no. Don't add Demon Lord.
Just call me Yan. It sounds friendlier.
I like you calling me Yan.
It's over?
Yes, it's over.
Why are you here?
Who's the banshee?
Wait.
You asked me why I was here?
Did I sound like I was talking to myself?
No.
I thought you asked Ji Heng why she was here.
So you were actually asking me.
Of course.
You haven't answered me yet.
Why are you here?
I...
I'm supposed to be
stealing pimpon fruit at this time.
But impulsion ran over me.
And the moment I drew pottery-made sword,
I completely forgot what I was supposed to do.
And I have no idea how much time is left for me.
I've got things to do. I have to go now.
Aren't you going to take me with you?
Why would I do that?
I'm hurt.
Do you want to leave me here alone?
Don't you think it's unsafe for me?
No.
Not at all.
You...
Looks like you don't feel safe leaving me here.
I'm sorry that
I fail to tell
you're hurt,
judging from your charming bearing now.
Legend has it that since Your Majesty
took the throne,
you've never shed a drop of blood.
How surprising it is to see you
get hurt today.
Have you had enough?
The red blood is even mixed with goldenness.
Your Majesty's blood is indeed different.
I also heard that
a cup of Your Majesty's blood,
is worth an immortal's cultivation of a thousand years.
I'm wondering if it's true.
Generally,
what comes to your mind first
should be helping me stop the bleeding.
You have fooled me several times.
Who knows if this is your camouflage trick or not?
I'm no fool.
You are a lot smarter than before.
But didn't your master who taught you magic art
tell you in your childhood that
the camouflage with bleeding can only deceit a mortal,
but not an immortal?
The wound is real?
But
you are not like all the heroes I have met.
Take my uncle for example.
No matter how badly injured he was,
he would try everything he could think of
to keep my aunt from knowing it.
It's the first time I saw
someone who had such an overreaction.
Because I am weaker
than those heroes you know.
Am I exaggerating?
Sorry.
Thank you
for escorting me back.
I got lucky
to run into Ji Heng while I was lost.
Oh no.
I forgot about Xiaojiu.
What are you looking at?
I'm thinking.
Thinking about what?
Thinking about you.
Why did you come all the way to Jieyou Spring in the middle of the night?
Damn, I totally forgot it.
Yan...
I...
Oh,
I've got something to do. Bye now.
Leaving so soon?
Is that your way of doing things in Qingqiu?
Of course.
I have my own business.
And I've patched you up.
Excuse me if there's nothing else.
I forgot to tell you that
Miao Luo's breaking in will trigger the shut-down,
so she will be trapped here.
Although she's put down,
the shut-down won't go away
until 24 hours later
for making sure nothing goes wrong.
I'm afraid
you can't go out for now.
24 hours.
What's so urgent
that you have to go out now?
I have...
I have an appointment with Yan Chiwu.
Stealing pimpon fruit
is not something I can talk about proudly
with others.
I have an appointment with Yan.
Your Majesty,
do you think
I patched you up well?
Do you owe me once?
Do you want to return the favor?
It's just so-so.
What do you want from me in return?
It's very simple.
Such a place
can only trap low-level immortals
like me.
Those immortals with high cultivation
like you
can't be trapped.
If Your Majesty
can help me get out of here,
I will forgive you for
your not coming to rescue me for over half a year
after leaving me in Fanyin Valley
and your turning into a handkerchief
to deceive me into forgiving you.
What do you think?
I think
you are holding a grudge against me.
I'm not.
Of course,
no one will offend me except you.
What about Yan Chiwu?
Yan.
Well, he's very nice.
So, Your Majesty,
are you going to help me get out
or not?
Why would I help you get out?
Because I helped you.
I helped you at a crucial time.
And you should help me once too.
That's what we call fairness.
I don't know how to get you out.
No matter how important your appointment is,
you have to wait until 24 hours later.
Xiaojiu.
Where is she?
If I miss the chance tonight,
I have to wait until the 15th of next lunar month.
It's one more month to go.
I dragged Yan into this.
Now he couldn't find me.
He must be very anxious.
I didn't know that you are so worried about Yan.
I'm afraid he won't help me steal pimpon fruit again
next month.
No.
Nothing.
So you planned to steal pimpon fruit
with Yan Chiwu.
No.
I am the princess of Qingqiu.
I won't do such a thing.
No, you heard it wrong.
Maybe I did hear it wrong.
I'm feeling a bit dizzy.
Come here.
Lend me your shoulder.
Your Majesty.
You may feel uncomfortable leaning on me.
I can conjure a pillow for you.
I feel like I recall something.
You said the 15th of next lunar month...
Your Majesty,
are you feeling comfortable now?
I can lie down for you to lean on.
Should I lie down with my face up
or my back up?
Do you feel better sitting or lying?
If I lie down,
it means both of us are lying.
I think sitting is better.
Okay.
Xiaojiu.
I lost too much blood earlier.
My hands are cold.
Do you mind
warming me up a little?
It's improper for men and women to have physical contact.
Sure.
I want to meet the empress of inseparable king birds
in a few days.
I'll ask her how to plant pimpon tree.
Do you think I should...
Well, I don't think
it's improper for men and women to have physical contact.
That's the most ridiculous thing
moralists come up with
since the creation of the universe.
I'm not sure if my hands are warm enough
for you, Your Majesty.
Quick learner.
I'm tired.
I want to get some sleep.
Suit yourself.
You just stood there
and watched the whole thing.
You're so cheeky to say you're tired.
I just fought a tough fight and I even have to serve you.
I'm much more tired than you.
I know what's in your head.
You think all I did was standing there and watching.
I was encouraging you
very seriously.
I will take you out
after I have enough rest.
I went this way earlier.
Xiaojiu must have gone either of the two ways.
What if she went alone to steal pimpon fruit
and got eaten up by the four boa constrictors?
I have to find her soon.
There are always people out there trying to seek protection from me.
It's the first time I met someone
who wants to protect me instead.
