[00:10] Hua
    You were hurt because of me. Why are
    you smiling and apologizing to me?
[00:14] Hua
    And now you want to atone? Why?
[00:17] Xie Lian
    Well, I did jump in front of your sword.
[00:21] Xie Lian
    It wouldn't be right to be mad at you.
[00:32] Xie Lian
    Sanlang?
[00:44] Xie Lian
    What's gotten into him?
[00:47] Hua
    Nothing. Don't worry about it.
[00:54] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, why are you hitting it?
[00:58] Hua
    'Cause it won't stop
    crying, the useless thing.
[01:01] Xie Lian
    Sanlang...
[01:03] Feng
    Damn it! Someone tell me
    how to open this door!
[01:05] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, I know how to do it!
[01:11] Xie Lian
    Wait...
[01:12] Xie Lian
    Could it perhaps be that...
[01:31] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Sanlang!
[01:32] (Flashback) Mu
    I said let him go!
[01:37] (Flashback) Sanlang
    If you can make me.
[01:42] Xie Lian
    So that's how he was able to use his
    teleportation in the Heavenly Capital?
[01:49] Xie Lian
    Oh no!
[01:50] Xie Lian
    He mustn't use it recklessly!
[01:52] Xie Lian
    Wait, you need to...

[03:47] Feng
    Damn it! Someone tell me
    how to open this door!
[03:51] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, I know how to do it!
[03:54] Shi Qingxuan
    I had a terrible time with that spell
    during my mission with the Prince.
[03:58] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, find two dice and
[04:00] Shi Qingxuan
    roll them at the entrance to
    the gate, and it may open!
[04:03] Feng
    Dice? This is the Heavenly Capital!
[04:06] Feng
    You guys go look for them!
[04:17] Feng
    Found 'em.
[04:39] Shi Qingxuan
    W-What happened?
[04:40] Feng
    Damn it!
[04:41] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, what happened?
[04:43] Feng
    Damn it all!
[04:46] Shi Qingxuan
    Be careful!
[04:47] Shi Qingxuan
    Different numbers on the dice will
    send you to different places.
[04:50] Shi Qingxuan
    What's on the dice?
[04:51] Mu
    They total up to 4.
[04:53] Xie Lian
    Feng Xin, Mu Qing.
[04:55] Xie Lian
    Can you hear me?
[04:58] Xie Lian
    Maybe they used all their magic.
    They can't even hear me.
[05:01] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, where does 4 take you?
[05:05] Hua
    Depends on the person.
[05:06] Hua
    They go to the place the person
    who rolled the dice fears most.
[05:11] Xie Lian
    The place the person who
    rolled the dice fears most?
[05:15] Girls
    Amazing.
[05:15] Feng
    What is this place?
[05:17] Girls
    What are you doing for your skin?
[05:24] Feng
    Get out! Pervert!
[05:28] Mu
    You stole the dice from me to
    take us to a woman's bathhouse?
[05:31] Feng
    Don't ask me!
[05:35] Xie Lian
    That's the worst place on earth for Feng Xin.
[05:41] Shi Qingxuan
    It's a powerful spell.
    Both of you, be careful!
[05:44] Mu
    Move. This time, I'll do it.
[05:50] Shi Qingxuan
    Now what did they run into?
[06:00] Feng
    What is this place?
[06:03] Feng
    A swamp?
[06:11] Feng
    Crocodile men?
[06:24] Feng
    What did you roll?
[06:26] Feng
    Give me the dice! I'll roll them!
[06:32] Mu
    Better than the woman's bathhouse!
[06:34] Mu
    How could you take me someplace so indecent?
[06:36] Mu
    Now you give me those dice!
[06:37] Feng
    You're the one holding the dice!
[06:43] Mu
    Bastard!
[06:44] Feng
    Now you've done it!
[06:46] Mu
    You always, always do this!
[06:52] Crowd
    There those two go again.
[06:54] Crowd
    How many times has this happened now?
[06:55] Crowd
    Whether they're in Heaven or
    below, they never get tired.
[06:58] Crowd
    Then shall we bet? I bet on
    General Xuan Zhen's victory.
[07:01] Crowd
    General Xuan Zhen doesn't
    like places that are dirty.
[07:03] Crowd
    So I think General Nan Yang has
    a better chance in a swamp fight.
[07:08] Crowd
    True! I bet on General Nan Yang, too!
[07:11] Shi Qingxuan
    Silence!
[07:19] Xie Lian
    I don't think there's any monster
    that could hurt Feng Xin and Mu Qing.
[07:23] Xie Lian
    I hope they give up their search, though.
[07:26] Xie Lian
    Fortunately for me, one roll was
    enough to get Sanlang to show up.
[07:30] Xie Lian
    Is there some trick?
[07:32] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, do I get to see
    you if the dice come up 2?
[07:45] Hua
    No.
[07:49] Xie Lian
    That's not how it works, huh?
[07:52] Xie Lian
    I was wrong.
[07:54] Hua
    If you want to see me,
[07:57] Hua
    you'll reach me no matter what the dice say.
[08:14] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, is that...
[08:16] Qianqiu
    I'm right here!
[08:40] Qianqiu
    This is your sword, Imperial Preceptor.
[08:48] Xie Lian
    I'll handle this.
[08:59] Qianqiu
    I challenge you to a duel...
[09:01] Qianqiu
    To the death!
[09:07] Xie Lian
    Very well.
[09:14] Xie Lian
    This was your idea.
[09:31] Xie Lian
    No matter how this battle ends...
[09:37] Xie Lian
    There's no going back.
[09:40] Qianqiu
    That's what I want!
[10:11] Qianqiu
    Imperial Preceptor!
[10:12] Qianqiu
    What are you doing?
[10:16] Xie Lian
    That was close!
[10:18] Qianqiu
    Let me go!
[10:21] Qianqiu
    Fight me fair and square!
[10:24] Xie Lian
    I did fight you fair and square.
[10:28] Xie Lian
    That's one of my treasures
    that's wrapped you up.
[10:31] Xie Lian
    You lose.
[10:34] Qianqiu
    This is a duel?
[10:36] Qianqiu
    You coward! Catching me
    off guard with your cloth!
[10:38] Qianqiu
    If you're a man, use your sword!
[10:42] Xie Lian
    I never promised to use my sword.
[10:45] Qianqiu
    I...
[10:46] Xie Lian
    You thoughtlessly rushed into battle, were
    caught off guard, and lost your duel.
[10:49] Xie Lian
    And now you're complaining?
[10:51] Qianqiu
    What?
[10:53] Xie Lian
    Catching someone off guard is a valid tactic.
[10:57] Xie Lian
    If you weren't fighting me,
    you'd be dead by now.
[11:04] Qianqiu
    Imperial Preceptor, you've changed.
[11:07] Qianqiu
    You didn't used to be like this.
[11:10] Xie Lian
    I was always like this. You just didn't know.
[11:15] Xie Lian
    I told you a long time ago, right?
[11:18] Xie Lian
    Don't make me out to be
    some kind of holy being.
[11:24] Xie Lian
    I'm not who you imagine me to be.
[11:27] Xie Lian
    In the end, you'll be the
    one who's disappointed.
[11:31] Xie Lian
    Think about that.
[11:35] Xie Lian
    Next time, don't be deceived.
[11:37] Qianqiu
    Wait!
[11:40] Qianqiu
    At least... explain!
[11:44] Xie Lian
    Explain what?
[11:47] Qianqiu
    Imperial Preceptor...
[11:49] Qianqiu
    Have I, my father, and my mother been
    unkind to the remnants of Xianle Kingdom?
[11:57] Qianqiu
    After what you did, many people blamed
    the survivors of Xianle Kingdom.
[12:05] (Flashback) Men
    Your Highness!
[12:09] (Flashback) Men
    The monster has been executed, but
    the life of one person cannot make up
[12:13] (Flashback) Men
    for the crime of slaying the royal family!
[12:17] (Flashback) Men
    Give me the order, and I'll kill every
    last Xianle citizen in our kingdom,
[12:22] (Flashback) Men
    ending the threat forever!
[12:25] (Flashback) All
    We shall join you!
[12:28] (Flashback) Guard
    But Fangxin the Demon never
    said he was from Xianle!
[12:33] (Flashback) Men
    But he never said he wasn't!
[12:36] (Flashback) Men
    Ever since the founding of Yong An,
[12:38] (Flashback) Men
    the survivors of Xianle have constantly
    been making trouble in the capital!
[12:42] (Flashback) Men
    They've made many attempts on the
    lives of our kings and nobles!
[12:45] (Flashback) Guard
    But that was years ago!
[12:48] (Flashback) Guard
    Under the current state policy,
[12:50] (Flashback) Guard
    Yong An and Xianle have reconciled
    and are on good terms!
[12:54] (Flashback) Men
    We can't trust any but our own kind!
[12:57] (Flashback) Men
    The Demon only involved himself in
    politics to make us lower our guards...
[13:00] (Flashback) Guard
    He didn't involve himself in our politics!
[13:03] (Flashback) Guard
    The last emperor wanted good relations
    between Xianle and Yong An!
[13:07] (Flashback) Men
    The last emperor was a compassionate man...
    but what was the result of his policies?
[13:12] (Flashback) Guard
    And so you're going to kill
    all the people of Xianle?
[13:14] (Flashback) Guard
    What have they done to deserve that?
[13:15] (Flashback) Men
    Then what did the Yong An royal
    family do to deserve their deaths
[13:18] (Flashback) Men
    at the Golden Feast?
[13:20] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Qianqiu, what's the most important
    part of being a ruler?
[13:30] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Whether rich or poor,
    from Yong An or Xianle...
[13:36] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Every person is different, and
    has their own hidden agendas.
[13:41] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    But they're all your people.
[13:44] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Love your people, and protect them.
[13:54] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    The Imperial Preceptor isn't from Xianle,
[13:59] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    so I forbid you from slaying them.
[14:01] (Flashback) Men
    Your Highness!
[14:02] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    The matter is settled!
[14:06] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    The last emperor longed to end the conflict
    between our peoples during his life,
[14:11] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    but did not live to see that day.
[14:15] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    Would you have us forget his dream?
[14:19] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    I issue a new edict!
[14:20] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    From now on, there shall be no distinction
[14:22] (Flashback) Qianqiu
    between Yong An and Xianle
    within our borders!
[14:25] (Flashback) All
    Please reconsider!
[14:31] Qianqiu
    A man from Xianle hid his
    identity... for five whole years!
[14:37] Qianqiu
    My father honored him as
    the Imperial Preceptor,
[14:40] Qianqiu
    and I respected him as my teacher.
[14:43] Qianqiu
    Even when my ministers opposed me,
[14:46] Qianqiu
    I ignored them and saved the lives
    of all the people of Xianle...
[14:50] Qianqiu
    Tell me, Imperial Preceptor!
[14:52] Qianqiu
    Were you just toying with us?
[14:54] Qianqiu
    That day was my birthday.
[14:58] Qianqiu
    Did you try to make my 17th year into a
    great trial, as your 17th year was for you?
[15:07] Qianqiu
    If that was what you intended,
    I won't give you what you want!
[15:12] Qianqiu
    You can try and fill my heart with
    hatred like yours, but you'll fail!
[15:19] Qianqiu
    I won't become self-destructive like you!
[15:23] Qianqiu
    No matter what you do to me,
    I'll never become like you!
[15:48] Xie Lian
    I see...
[15:49] Xie Lian
    Well said.
[15:51] Xie Lian
    Remember those words.
[15:54] Xie Lian
    Never become like me.
[15:55] Qianqiu
    What?
[16:06] Xie Lian
    Qianqiu?
[16:27] Hua
    No matter what form he takes,
    he still looks like an idiot.
[16:31] Xie Lian
    So this is Qianqiu, then?
[16:34] Xie Lian
    What did you do to him?
[16:36] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, stop playing with
    him and turn him back.
[16:41] Hua
    No, we're taking him.
[16:44] Xie Lian
    Where?
[16:51] Hua
    Here.
[17:03] Hua
    Dear Brother, follow me.
[17:39] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, what is this place?
[17:49] Grunts
    Hurry up!
[17:50] Grunts
    Of course!
[17:55] Grunts
    The King will come back
    triumphant, I know it!
[17:58] Grunts
    I know it!
[18:02] Grunts
    Hurry! Get moving!
[18:07] Grunts
    Will the king be back soon?
[18:09] Grunts
    Bring them here!
[18:12] Grunts
    Just see what happens if you keep the
    king waiting! You'll be a dead man!
[18:15] Grunts
    Very true!
[18:17] Grunts
    Hurry up!
[18:27] Grunts
    You two...
[18:29] Grunts
    What do you have in your hands?
[18:32] Grunts
    That's right! What do you have in your hands!
[18:34] Grunts
    Show us!
[18:37] Grunts
    Get to work! No wasting time here!
[18:41] Grunts
    Let's go, yeah.
[18:42] Grunts
    Let's get going!
[18:50] Xie Lian
    Why did they...
[19:05] Xie Lian
    You didn't need to go this far.
[19:07] Hua
    Ghost Qi Rong lacks any
    sort of elegance at all.
[19:11] Hua
    He likes to make people think he walks
    with elegant green lanterns at night.
[19:15] Hua
    But in fact, the "green lanterns" are
    simple candles placed on the head.
[19:20] Hua
    Thus, his ghosts all have
    heads filled with wax,
[19:23] Hua
    which makes them dumb.
[19:24] Xie Lian
    I thought you destroyed his caverns, though.
[19:28] Hua
    I did. He fled, though.
[19:32] Hua
    He spent 50 years building another den here.
[19:35] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, before we search for Qi Rong,
[19:38] Xie Lian
    break the spell on Qianqiu
    and free him, please.
[19:42] Xie Lian
    I'll go with you.
[19:43] Hua
    No.
[19:46] Hua
    Let's take him.
[19:49] Hua
    There's someone I want him to meet.
