**[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!

**[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.
**[06:01] ---**
Song Qi.
**[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?
**[08:37] ---**
Monkey King's former residence?
**[08:45] ---**
Looks like we've found dinner for everyone.
**[09:06] ---**
Leave the rest to me!

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.
**[16:15] ---**
Don't be angry.
**[16:17] ---**
Haven't I already forgiven you?
