[00:03] ---
    I am grateful to Dayan for
    generously coming to our help.
[00:07] ---
    I should express my gratitude
    with a letter of thanks.
[00:11] ---
    I will write—
[00:12] ---
    Oh, no! Your Majesty!
[00:14] ---
    The princess left a note
[00:16] ---
    saying that she's already left with the
    Dayan convoy to have fun in Jinling!
[00:18] ---
    What?!
[00:20] ---
    Can we catch up with her
    if we send someone right now?
[00:22] ---
    The princess is accompanying
    the envoy of Dayan and his team.
[00:25] ---
    She shouldn't be in
    any danger this time.
[00:27] ---
    That's true.
[00:30] ---
    Wait, no, it isn't!
[00:30] ---
    She's not familiar with Dayan.
[00:32] ---
    What if she offends someone?
[00:33] ---
    Your Majesty can ask the emperor of
    Dayan to look after her in your letter.
[00:37] ---
    She can be brought back after
    the Banquet of Nations.
[00:41] ---
    Bring the pen and ink!

    I want to ask now
[01:00] ---
    I close my eyes
[01:01] ---
    but couldn't sleep
[01:03] ---
    Tossing and turning
    but could not dream
[01:06] ---
    I want to forget
[01:07] ---
    that you're in my heart
[01:09] ---
    Yearning at night
[01:11] ---
    The more I think, the
    more confused I get
[01:14] ---
    I didn't expect it at all
[01:17] ---
    You must not have known
[01:23] ---
    The blue planet shining in the galaxy
[01:26] ---
    Millions of years of waiting
[01:29] ---
    Cannot solve the mystery
    inside my heart
[01:33] ---
    Not some day
[01:34] ---
    but tell me the answer right now
[01:39] ---
    Perhaps I've fallen in love again
[01:42] ---
    Back and forth, twist and turn
[01:45] ---
    Time won't change
    what the heart wants
[01:48] ---
    Shivers run through my soul
[01:51] ---
    I start to practice, to
    explore the secrets of love

    Mistress Ye, if you fail
    to meet expectations,
[02:21] ---
    the Emperor will want your head.

[02:36] ---
    I'm so bored.
[02:38] ---
    Do you want anything to drink?
[02:41] ---
    Jing, do you want anything to drink?
[02:44] ---
    No.
[02:46] ---
    Still mad at Ah Ruan?
[02:48] ---
    Wasn't she unwell?
[02:52] ---
    She should've let us see her anyway.
[02:56] ---
    She said she'd be my guide
    to the Western Regions.
[03:00] ---
    So much for that promise.
[03:02] ---
    You care about Ah Ruan so much.
[03:04] ---
    Do you like her?
[03:07] ---
    Wh-Who are you saying likes her?!
[03:09] ---
    I just disapprove of people
    who don't keep their word—
[03:11] ---
    Helian Jing!
[03:21] ---
    What a bumpy ride.
[03:23] ---
    When on earth are you going
    to learn how to drive a cart?
[03:26] ---
    If I didn't come with you,
[03:27] ---
    I'd have no idea what kind of bad things
    you were saying behind my back.
[03:31] ---
    A-Are you coming with me
    to the Western Regions?
[03:35] ---
    That was the plan... at first.
[03:39] ---
    But now I've changed my mind.
[03:42] ---
    I want to broaden my horizons
    in the flourishing city of Jinling.
[03:46] ---
    That's fine, I guess.
[03:47] ---
    Brother Chunyu wouldn't let me go anyway.
[03:50] ---
    I'm glad you understand.
[03:53] ---
    Since you're going to Jinling,
[03:54] ---
    I can put the past aside and be your guide.
[03:57] ---
    Huh? Really?
[03:58] ---
    O-Of course!
[04:01] ---
    The stench of love fills the air.
[04:04] ---
    The stench of love?
[04:21] ---
    Stop.
[04:22] ---
    We'll rest here today.
[04:24] ---
    Set up the campfire.
[04:25] ---
    Yes, sir!
[04:44] ---
    Bonehead's wilderness survival skills
    are more impressive than I expected.
[04:47] ---
    It looks exactly like it should.
[04:51] ---
    Time to eat.
[05:13] ---
    This is how food is prepared on the march.
[05:15] ---
    By boiling steamed buns, you can stave off
    hunger and quench thirst at the same time.
[05:21] ---
    Let me take over.
[05:28] ---
    Good thing I brought some rice
    and mushrooms from Nanyue.
[05:30] ---
    Let's make do with what we've got.
[05:31] ---
    That's our Chief Yao!
[05:32] ---
    It's simply delicious!
[05:35] ---
    Don't rush, don't rush!
    There's enough for everyone.
[05:37] ---
    Slow down, slow down.
[05:38] ---
    Who stepped on my foot?
[05:38] ---
    Do I hear running water?
[05:40] ---
    I'll go look for ingredients.
[05:41] ---
    You?
[05:50] ---
    That was so satisfying.
[05:52] ---
    Yeah...
[05:54] ---
    Hasn't Sister Yaoyao
    been gone for a long time?
[05:58] ---
    It feels like it's been an hour already.

[06:02] ---
    Stay here with the soldiers,
    and protect the princess and Prince Jing.
[06:05] ---
    I'll go find her.
[06:06] ---
    Leave it to me, Your Highness.
[06:17] ---
    I managed to get lost. I'm amazing.
[06:20] ---
    No way!
[06:22] ---
    Everything looks the same here!
[06:26] ---
    Ye Jiayao, calm down!
[06:28] ---
    Ye Jiayao, there aren't any monsters
    that would knock you down!
[06:31] ---
    Ye Jiayao, the peak of your life
    is still waiting for you!
[06:36] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[06:42] ---
    Ch-Chunyu...
[06:44] ---
    Just look at me.
[06:45] ---
    Don't look elsewhere.
[07:14] ---
    Hey, you told me to not look elsewhere,
[07:16] ---
    and then you went looking instead!
[07:21] ---
    Apples?
[07:23] ---
    Bonehead, quick. Let's pick these up
    and take them back.
[07:32] ---
    What is this place?
[07:48] ---
    It's a white egret!
[07:52] ---
    Bonehead, don't let our dinner get away!
[08:27] ---
    What a perfect family home!
[08:29] ---
    Perfect family home?
[08:33] ---
    Could it be...
[08:34] ---
    that we broke into the
    Monkey King's former residence?

[10:34] ---
    It's been a while since
    I've eaten roast duck.
[10:53] ---
    Just try it.
[11:16] ---
    Unbelievable!
[11:18] ---
    This duck meat
[11:21] ---
    is fatty but not greasy.
[11:30] ---
    The apples have the fragrance of olive oil.
[11:33] ---
    They perfectly blend into the roast smell,
[11:36] ---
    and are completely activated
    by a little spice.
[11:45] ---
    While the two flavors are clearly
    separate, like the sea and sky,
[11:48] ---
    it's as if they were born together.
[11:56] ---
    Though the two of us are also so different,
[11:59] ---
    can't we, too, be in perfect harmony?
[12:17] ---
    I should tell her.
[12:21] ---
    Yaoyao.
[12:23] ---
    About our earlier conflict...
[12:27] ---
    Has he figured it out?
    And now he's ready to talk to me?
[12:32] ---
    I want to say...
[12:38] ---
    I...
[12:40] ---
    forgive you.
[12:44] ---
    You cared not for my concerns
[12:45] ---
    and ran around wildly by yourself.
[12:47] ---
    You got into a lot of trouble,
[12:48] ---
    disregarded the bigger picture,
[12:49] ---
    and delayed me from doing my job.
[12:51] ---
    I almost missed something very important.
[12:53] ---
    Nevertheless, I forgive you for everything.
[12:56] ---
    It's only because I love you.
[12:58] ---
    What the hell do you mean, you forgive me?!
[13:21] ---
    Master Laosou?
[13:28] ---
    Is that you, Li?
[13:30] ---
    I'm a girl now.
[13:32] ---
    You could tell?
[13:35] ---
    Of course.
[13:36] ---
    Who couldn't tell that you
    were crossdressing previously?
[13:39] ---
    Master, what are you doing here?
[13:41] ---
    This is where I research food—
[13:43] ---
    a spot with ideal feng shui
    that I've carefully selected.
[13:46] ---
    I don't know how, but I managed
    to lose one of my white egrets.
[13:49] ---
    I spent all day looking for it outside.
[13:52] ---
    Where the hell did it go?
[13:56] ---
    Sorry, Master! We're so sorry!
[13:57] ---
    We had no idea you were
    keeping those ducks yourself.
[14:00] ---
    We're sorry!
[14:08] ---
    Did you cook this?
[14:11] ---
    Yes, Master.
[14:33] ---
    Why didn't I think of this?
[14:35] ---
    So this is the most delicious
    way to cook them!
[14:41] ---
    Li, I've been researching ways to cook those
    white egrets for the past six months.
[14:47] ---
    You're still full of ideas, I see!
[14:51] ---
    So, about that duck...
[14:55] ---
    It's okay, it's okay!
[14:59] ---
    However...
[15:02] ---
    Don't tell anyone I've been living here.
[15:05] ---
    I don't want to be disturbed by the world.
[15:10] ---
    Don't worry, Master.
[15:19] ---
    Why is it taking them so long to return?
[15:21] ---
    Should we go looking for them, as well?
[15:23] ---
    No, what if they come back and can't find us?
[15:34] ---
    Your Highness!
[15:35] ---
    Sister-in-law!
[15:36] ---
    See? I just said that they'd be fine.
[15:38] ---
    Sister Yaoyao!
[15:39] ---
    You must be starving.
[15:40] ---
    I brought dinner for everyone.
[15:46] ---
    It looks delicious!
[15:49] ---
    Chief Yao, where did this food come from?
[15:53] ---
    That's a secret!
[15:56] ---
    This should be rolled like this.
[15:59] ---
    Then dip it in chili sauce.
[16:12] ---
    I'll roll one for you, too.
[16:14] ---
    I don't need you to.
