In the three realms
no one can barge into Desperadom.
Unless Ying Kong Shi
has the blood of the Fire Tribe running through his veins.
I, Ying Kong Shi
swear to fight in my brother's stead until my last breath.
King of the Bear Tribe, Liao Jian
is willing to serve Prince Shi!
Chao Ya of the Spirit Tribe is willing to serve Prince Shi!
Xing Jiu of The Dream Weavers is willing to serve Prince Shi!
Huang Tuo of The Healers is willing to serve Prince Shi!
Prince Shi.
Everything is going according to your plan.
[Episode 16]
If I had my immortal powers...
they wouldn't have died.
This isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself.
It could not be helped.
I didn't manage to save them.
I'd like to pay my respects to them properly.
All right.
I'll get some flowers for them.
We've searched everywhere but there's no sign of Ka Suo.
Keep searching!
Yes!
Your Grace?
I've made you some beauty decoction.
Why don't you have some?
I'm not in the mood.
Are you still troubled over Ka Suo?
Tell me.
Do you really not know where Ka Suo has gone off to?
Your Grace!
I will surely tell you anything that concerns The Mermaids.
Don't worry.
I've come up with a better solution.
You have a better solution?
What is it?
Marry me off to Flame.
What?
I heard that the King of Fire has been using all sorts of means
to establish marriage ties with different tribes.
Now that he is soon to be the ruler of the three realms
hasn't Your Grace always said that
you would marry me off to the king of the three realms?
That is...
I did say so.
However, I always assumed that
the king of the three realms would be the king of the Ice Tribe.
How was I to know that the Ice Tribe would lose to the Fire Tribe?
Moreover, Flame is cruel by nature.
He has many concubines.
None of them ended well.
Although he is now the king of the three realms
I can't have you suffer such torment!
What's the matter?
Your Grace...
I always thought that
if I couldn't marry Ka Suo
you'd force me to marry another.
Little did I know...
you do still cherish me.
You're such a silly child.
You're my darling princess.
Who am I to cherish if not you?
Then...
Without Ka Suo...
what should we exchange for The Mermaids' safety?
Don't worry.
I know what to do.
Ka Suo...
You seem quite gifted.
You will do quite well in time if you keep on training.
Your Grace.
Why have you come to see me?
I'm here to ask you
if you really are confident in assassinating Flame.
Of course.
Fine.
Can you guarantee that if you should fail
The Mermaids will not be implicated?
I, Ying Kong Shi
hereby take an oath in the name of the Ice Tribe's gods
that if I should fail this mission
I will take full responsibility for it.
It has nothing to do with The Mermaids.
Should I break the oath
the Ice Tribe will never be revived again.
All right.
Although your plan is quite risky
this is the only option we have.
Mermaid Saint is indeed very wise.
However, I already knew that you would consent to this plan.
Hold it.
I have another request.
What other request do you have?
Should the Ice Tribe turn the situation around and be victorious
the next king must marry Lan Shang as his queen.
Sure, I will agree to that.
Father...
Mother...
My brothers and sisters...
I'm sorry.
You wouldn't have sacrificed your lives in the first place
if not to ensure that I could escape safely.
I'm so sorry...
I really hate myself
for not being able to protect all of you.
I could only watch helplessly as
the ice crystal leaves were destroyed one by one before my eyes.
No!
I can't even defeat bandits anymore.
I could only watch helplessly as innocent people...
- were killed before my eyes. - Father!
No!
Father!
Want to fight?
Get up!
It was my wishful thinking that I could defeat the King of Fire...
and restore the Ice Tribe to glory.
I couldn't do anything at all.
I'm just a useless invalid.
I have lost everything.
What's the point in staying alive?
Ka Suo...
You still have me.
Ying Kong Shi?
What are you doing here?
I'm definitely here to observe you.
Otherwise, how can I deceive Flame?
You?
Mermaids are the most beautiful gods.
Any poses we make with our arms and our tails are always very elegant.
There's no hint of aestheticism in you but you wish to imitate me?
Why don't you teach me how to become more beautiful?
Sure!
But you have to address me as your mentor before I teach you.
If you want me to address you as my sister-in-law
it's best not to make me address you as my mentor now.
What's wrong?
Sister-in-law?
Don't call me that.
Your brother already said that
he wouldn't marry me.
He has already fallen for someone else.
Hey, now.
My brother was just joking with you.
He lied to you.
Ka Suo lied to me?
Why would he lie to me?
My brother didn't wish to implicate you.
Ka Suo is so silly.
Apart from him
I wouldn't marry anyone else.
Do you feel better now?
Can you teach me?
Xing Gui.
Why have you let your dream seeker out to play again?
I have to give it more training.
Then it will become as strong as your Origin of Dreams
and make me an advanced dream weaver.
Why would you suddenly wish to become an advanced dream weaver?
It's a secret.
Take your dream seeker with you to play.
I really have to enter the dreams now.
Are you going to meet Prince Shi and the leaders in your dream again?
You're making such a huge effort.
Is it to help Prince Shi or Prince Ka Suo?
What difference does it make?
The difference lies in who you think will become the future king.
Who is worth the effort?
To be honest, I haven't had any
prophetic dreams about the future King of Ice yet.
What do you truly think?
Whoever becomes the king will have an impact on your destiny.
Isn't that so?
Why are you looking at me like that?
You never used to ask such questions.
It seems that you have really grown up.
What do you really think about this matter?
Who would you like as the king?
Ka Suo or Ying Kong Shi?
Xing Gui.
Dream Weavers might be able to foresee the future
but we must never attempt to change destiny.
It's the same with you.
I tried to change your destiny.
But in the end
it was destiny that returned you back to me out of compassion.
Xing Jiu.
Haven't you ever considered
that it wasn't destiny who returned me back to you
but that I insisted on clinging to you
and destiny had to give in to me
so I defeated destiny?
Whatever the reason
as long as you're with me, it makes me happy.
Be good.
What happened to my face?
Mermaid Saint, save me!
- Lan Shang? - Ying Kong Shi?
What are you doing here?
Even you can't tell the difference.
That means that I didn't practice all night for nothing.
Ying Kong Shi, you're remarkable.
You...
Ungrateful guy!
This is all because I taught you so well! Otherwise, how could you fool me?
- Nasty guy! - Stop it!
That's enough!
It's the conch siren! We must be in trouble!
The princess of the Fire Tribe?
10 days aren't up yet.
What are you doing here?
What is it?
Am I getting in your way?
What nonsense is that?
It's all right.
I'd just like you to come with me to Snowblade City.
As long as you behave well
nothing will go wrong.
However, we have to set out now.
How is this reasonable?
The pact we made was for 10 days.
You have us at your beck and call. What do you take us for?
Shut up!
Princess Yan Da.
You have already conveyed the King of Fire's words very clearly.
Lan Shang.
Go and get ready.
Yes, everyone's best interest should come first.
Where is Ka Suo?
I've asked the mortal envoy to take him
to a medicinal hot spring on an offshore island to recuperate.
He will definitely return to Snowblade City in 10 days.
Where is that island?
Princess Yan Da.
Ka Suo has already lost his immortal powers.
Do you still have to fear him so?
Fine!
In 10 days...
should Ka Suo fail to show up in Snowblade City
Princess Lan Shang will bear the consequences
for what you said today.
Is it appropriate for someone like you to show up like this so often?
"Defeated destiny."
Princess Xing Gui of The Dream Weavers...
I like what you said.
Why have you come to me?
I'm here to fulfill your wish.
I will let Ying Kong Shi become the true king.
Father.
Mother.
You...
You are Shi?
There is no rush.
There will be thousands and millions of years to reunite as a family.
Shi, where is Ka Suo?
He's gone to a medicinal hot spring with the Envoy of The Guardian to recuperate.
Who knew that Flame would summon us so urgently?
That's why he couldn't make it back in time.
There's no need to worry.
As long as you're all here
he won't dare to stay away.
Ying Kong Shi.
Get some rest in the bed chamber.
I shall host a reunion dinner for all of you tonight.
Get out!
His Majesty ordered us to serve Your Highness at all times!
You have my chamber thoroughly guarded anyway.
Why would a few minutes matter?
Get out now!
Get out!
- Get out! - Your Highness!
- Your Highness!
Ka Suo's future now lies in the hands of my performance today.
What are you doing here?
We have already taken over the entire Snowblade City.
Your Illusion Chamber...
I can come and go whenever I please.
Answer me.
You and that mermaid princess...
what is your relationship with her?
It's none of your concern.
You won't tell me?
I will ask her about it, then.
Don't go to her.
If you have any questions, just ask me.
Why are you so protective of her?
I already told you.
It's no concern of yours.
Ying Kong Shi...
It seems that I will have to teach you a lesson today.
Why won't you fight back?
Answer me!
I've heard that Lady Lotus dances like no other.
Why don't you do a dance for my father
to liven things up while we drink?
Ying Kong Shi.
You could never learn to wield the magical powers of the Ice Tribe.
Why don't I teach you the magical powers of the Fire Tribe some other day?
I'm no god of the Fire Tribe.
It would be pointless to learn the magical powers of the Fire Tribe.
No, thank you.
Where is Princess Lan Shang?
Why hasn't she shown up yet?
In order to liven up the festivities tonight
and celebrate peace among the three realms
please allow me to present a dance, my honorable King of Fire.
All right.
This is where Qiu Tian Nian lives in the Healer's Valley.
Is anyone home?
Shoo. Go and play elsewhere.
This isn't some place you can visit and play.
Don't bother me.
Healer Qiu.
Please help me regain my immortal powers.
How ruthless...
He destroyed every bit of immortal power in a god.
My child.
It's been hard on you.
Please help him.
In order to restore immortal powers
you will need a very special and fresh medicinal herb.
It has to be picked fresh and decocted immediately.
Since the ancient times
no one has succeeded in doing so.
Even if it is so
are you still willing to give it a try?
I am.
Fine.
I'll go and pick the herb now.
Wait for me in my house.
I will go with you.
That's strange.
Ying Kong Shi already nodded at me.
Why didn't the King of Fire even drink a glass of wine with me?
Instead, it was that annoying Shuo Gang
who kept clinging to my side.
So irritating.
King of Fire?
- King of Fire... - Look at me.
Look at me.
If I have to suffer...
I will have you suffer as well.
Illusion Pearl?
Could it be that Lan Shang is trying to send me a message?
Your Grace.
I love Flame.
I'm already his wife.
I cannot marry the King of Ice.
I can't marry him. Please. I beg you.
Congratulations, Your Grace.
You betrayed your daughter a hundred years ago to marry the King of Ice.
Now that the ruler of the immortal realm has changed
you want to betray your granddaughter to win the new ruler's favor?
You always have the best plan out of the three realms' tribes.
The most pitiful thing is...
I, Lotus, wish all the princesses of The Mermaid tribe
for the sake of The Mermaids for generations to come
to live like me and Lan Shang
like puppets
who can never have true love
and who can never find their own happiness.
People of The Mermaid tribe.
For millions of years
we, The Mermaids, have remained neutral in the battles of Ice and Fire.
That's how we've maintained peace for our tribe.
Now that Princess Lan Shang has decided to go against Flame
as the leader of The Mermaids
I've decided to stop remaining silent.
I will stand behind Princess Lan Shang and announce war against the Fire Tribe!
Lan Shang.
Lan Shang!
Lan Shang.
- You... - What's the matter?
You didn't think mermaids could drown, did you?
I panicked and forgot.
I forgot that you were a mermaid princess.
Why did you submerge yourself underwater?
Are you homesick?
If I submerge myself underwater
then I won't know I'm crying.
Then I can pretend that I'm not sad or angry.
Did Flame do something to you?
I thought all I was going to give him...
I know you've suffered today.
Don't be scared.
You...
Why did you change into Ka Suo?
Would I not know that you're a fake?
That's right.
I'm fake.
But everything that happened between you and Flame was all fake too.
You don't have to worry if it's not real.
You did well today.
You've worked hard.
Rest early.
Ka Suo.
My king.
I will endure it all.
For you, I'll play my role well.
Ka Suo. For your sake, for the sake of our home, Snowblade City
I'll endure everything too.
All of this is worth it.
