I'm well-aware of my brother's wishes.
Don't worry. I'll help him.
You are now selecting the next King of Ice?
We invited you here to ensure that
Prince Ka Suo will take the throne.
You just want to use The Mermaids to your advantage
and assist Ying Kong Shi in pushing Ka Suo out of favor
in order to change the King of Ice's mind
so Shi can take the throne?
This dance will not affect the plan to make Lan Shang the next Queen of Ice.
Tell me, then.
What is your plan?
When the banquet begins, you will see for yourself.
[Episode 21]
How did I end up outside of Snowblade City?
Ying Kong Shi.
You're such a heartless jerk.
Instead of doing this...
you might as well kill me.
A Battle of Ice and Fire
has made Snowblade City the target of war and violence.
It has also...
caused us to pay a tragically heavy price.
Right here...
I'd like to first thank the foreign tribes and their leaders.
If you hadn't joined forces with us to fight as one united alliance
we might've not been able
to have this victorious celebration banquet in Snowblade City tonight
as well as peace throughout all three realms.
Next year on this same date
my time as the King of Ice will come to an end.
In just a while
I will announce to all tribes who my successor will be.
I hereby make an oath on this very spot
that all successors to the throne of the Ice Tribe
will always be...
the ally of all tribes.
For all eternity.
To this oath I hold, forever and ever.
For all eternity. To this oath I hold, forever and ever.
I'd like to invite the leaders
to come forth and accept
the honorable gift of our oath of alliance.
What is this?
This is the most precious promise made by the Ice Tribe.
The snowflake flower.
It contains the blood of the oath maker.
With this blood, the oath is sealed.
All who break the oath shall die.
Your Majesty.
This gift is too precious.
We, your loyal subjects, cannot accept it.
King of the Bear Tribe.
Do not address yourself as my subject anymore.
You're an ally of the Ice Tribe.
You should be treated with the highest respect by the Ice Tribe.
Ka Suo is right.
Please do accept the gift.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Father.
I, too, have a gift for everyone.
What gift is it?
There were invaders from the Fire Tribe?
When I discovered the first tinder they planted
I sent our men to search our lands right away.
All tinders have now been located.
The guards are still searching
for the spy from the Fire Tribe who planted the tinders
to see if he's still in the city.
Well done.
Great! Prince Shi is great!
Prince Shi is great!
- How remarkable! - Prince Shi is great!
He's really remarkable!
Prince Shi is amazing.
Prince Shi is truly the pride of every tribe.
With Prince Shi
peace throughout three realms will surely sustain forever.
Within four hours, the ice seal and ice coat will expire.
Where has Yan Da gone?
Such grand fireworks
could also be seen by the Fire Tribe, despite the distance.
This serves as a great warning to them.
You have done really well.
Your Majesty, not only did Prince Shi contribute to the victory of the battle
but he also assisted the Ice Tribe in destroying the Fire Tribe's evil scheme.
I think that Prince Shi should be rewarded.
Yes, I agree!
- I concur! - I concur!
I, too, agree with them.
He should be rewarded.
All right.
Shi.
Tell me what reward you would like.
Father.
I hope that you can announce to the leaders of all three realms
that the successor to the throne
is me, Ying Kong Shi.
This is...
How could he say that?
Although he did contribute greatly to our victory
- it is by no means a child's play. - How can he do this to Prince Ka Suo?
- Prince Ka Suo should be the successor. - How could he do this?
Ying Kong Shi
told me that he would surely make Lan Shang Queen of the Ice Tribe.
But it seems he has other plans in mind.
Shi.
I've noticed the efforts you made, and I'm very pleased about them.
However...
the successor I have in mind
has always been your brother, Ka Suo.
My brother, Ka Suo, has already lost his immortal powers.
Are we to have a king who will survive no more than 100 years?
Ying Kong Shi, you're too mean!
How can you say that?
Ka Suo is such a silly child.
See?
This is the truth.
- You're too mean! - Lan Shang.
- But-- - Sit down.
This is the Ice Tribe's issue.
It's up to them to resolve it.
Sit down.
Sit!
Father.
The safety of the Ice Tribe relies on the ice sheath.
You had hopes that my brother
would bring back the Six-leaf Ice Crystal
to repair the ice sheath.
However, unfortunately
the ice crystal leaves from the five tribes were all destroyed.
The ice sheath is also slowly melting away.
It won't last more than a year.
If we were to encounter a powerful enemy
we're currently too short on power to attack.
I, Ying Kong Shi, can control The Deicide
and I'm also the most powerful prince in the Ice Tribe.
I think it is me that the Ice Tribe needs right now.
Not Ka Suo.
I have thought it all through and I'm prepared.
If the ice sheath really melts away in a year
as King of the Ice Tribe
I could surely protect the Ice Tribe's new ice sheath.
Shi.
You can only control The Deicide
because Ka Suo sacrificed himself.
He's still suffering from it.
How can you say such words?
In my opinion
Shi didn't depreciate the sacrifice Ka Suo made.
However, we have to face the truth and focus on the general interests.
In terms of our current situation
Shi is perhaps the most suitable heir.
Moreover, it's been the tradition
of the Ice Tribe to select its kings according to their powers.
Ka Suo used to be the best
but now, Shi is more powerful than him.
Why can't Shi take the throne?
You...
Father.
Lady Lotus is right.
I agree with her.
I have my own plans in mind.
- What is going on now? - Who will be the king?
All right! Enough.
I've decided to postpone the announcement of my successor.
It's to be discussed some other day.
It should be Prince Ka Suo. He sacrificed for the Ice Tribe.
We support Prince Shi!
We support Prince Shi as the successor!
We support Prince Ka Suo as the successor!
Prince Ka Suo!
We support Prince Ka Suo!
We support Prince Ka Suo to be the successor!
We support Prince Shi!
We support Prince Ka Suo!
What are you doing?
How exactly did you carry out the mission?
Ying Kong Shi actually found you out.
Shuo Gang!
You're here to plead for Ka Suo?
I think that you should leave.
You should stay by Ka Suo throughout his short lifetime.
- You-- - Stop it.
I will see no one tonight.
Mermaid Saint is here late at night
to put in a good word for Shi
just like Lotus did?
Your Majesty.
I wish to know what you really have in mind.
Shi does have a point.
The Ice Tribe is in need of a powerful king.
And what I mean by "powerful"
isn't just magical powers alone.
Moreover... there's only one last prince
left in the Ice Tribe now.
Your Grace should know that deep down.
Your Majesty.
I agree with your decision.
Although Lotus isn't my child
I still consider her as my daughter
so Shi is still family to me.
In terms of reason and circumstance
I should support them.
However, when it comes to the throne
what The Mermaids truly care about
is the general interest of the three realms.
Your Grace, is there something that I should know?
It doesn't matter.
However, Your Majesty should understand
that although I agree with the decision
it doesn't mean that I support Shi as the next king.
Therefore, for your successor
I hope that Your Majesty can come up with
a way to convince everyone.
King of Ice.
You mustn't allow Ying Kong Shi to succeed the throne.
Do not forget about Bi Luo's prophecy
and Ying Kong Shi's destiny.
Saint Master, do rest assured.
I will do what I can
to make Ka Suo the next King of Ice.
Why is Your Grace in such a hurry to see me?
Get out.
Yes.
Shi does have the meticulous nature of The Mermaids.
What I plan is concrete, and can be seen.
What he plans is hurtful and can't be seen.
It takes everyone by surprise and inflicts such pain.
Does Your Grace think that
there's now a shift in the wind
so you came here to accept my offer
to assist Shi in becoming the next King of Ice?
I will never support Shi as the king.
What are you doing here, then?
I'm here to lead you away from imminent death.
But I don't need that.
The King of Ice has long known
that Shi isn't his son.
However, you're not so dumb as to let the King of Ice know
that Shi is the King of Fire's son.
This is why you and your son
have stayed safe in the Ice Tribe for so many years.
You mean to say that you're using Shi's identity
to threaten me?
I'm trying to save you.
Shi should just remain
a plain prince who attracts no attention at all.
If you keep pushing to make him the king
death will be upon you.
As long as Shi becomes the king
I will kill whoever dares to talk behind his back.
Your Grace.
I've already reached out to the Ice Tribe's officials and tribesmen.
They are all very supportive of having Shi as their future king.
I will give you another chance.
You're so smart. You should know what to do.
Fine.
You still refuse to give up?
I will tell you the truth, then.
It was never for the sake of love that Flame got close to you.
He just wanted your Teardrop Charm so he could enter Infinity Ocean
to search for the entrance to Sacred Snow Mountain.
He wants to seize the Veiled Lotus and take over the three realms.
If Shi becomes the King of Ice and marries Lan Shang
once he learns his true identity and cooperates with Flame
the immortal, mortal, and spirit realms will be in chaos.
Not only will you meet your end
but The Mermaids and the three realms will as well.
Sacred Snow Mountain and the Veiled Lotus
are but ancient legends.
Don't try to hoodwink me with fictional tales.
How dumb can you be?
The dumbest thing I ever did
was regard you as my mother.
You...
From now on, I will be the master of my own fate.
Even if the three realms are destroyed
I want Shi to become the King of Ice!
Why have you come to see me?
We'll see if you still dare to bully Ka Suo again.
You like my brother that much?
Whether Ka Suo has magical powers or not
his compassion and kindness
are what the future king should have.
I'll never support a ruthless and evil traitor like you!
It's useless for you to stand up for my brother.
Li Luo is the one my brother wishes to marry.
Am I that bad?
Who are you to say that he won't marry me?
Why are all of you so annoying like my father?
My brother likes Li Luo.
Why do all of you have to break them up?
Am I that annoying?
That's fine as well.
If The Mermaids insist on having you as the Queen of Ice
I can just marry you instead.
I don't want to be a queen!
I just want to stay carefree.
Ka Suo is the only one I love!
I only wish to marry him!
You love who you love...
Have any of you considered my brother's feelings?
Mother?
Ka Suo, what are you doing here?
When I was in the mortal realm
I made ice sculptures with magical powers.
I wanted to make one again
but I just didn't expect it to take so long by hand.
You've sacrificed too much for the Ice Tribe.
Compared to my siblings...
this is nothing.
You're the only child I have left in this world now.
Ka Suo, make me a promise.
Do tell, Mother.
No matter what happens
you have to stop Shi from becoming king.
I think that Shi is right.
The Ice Tribe needs a powerful king.
Not me.
You have to become the king.
Why?
Your mother is right.
Father.
If you choose to give up your chance of
succeeding the throne like you did that day in the hall
I will cast the Envoy of The Guardian, Li Luo
out of the immortal realm, never to return.
Father.
Whether I become the king or not, it has nothing to do with the envoy.
Did you think that your mother and I couldn't tell?
You wish to be with Li Luo.
You're right.
I do like Li Luo.
However, I'm void of immortal powers now.
If I were to be the king
none of the tribes in the three realms would yield to me.
Moreover, I no longer have the ability to lead an army to war.
I don't understand why you and Mother have to be so persistent?
Ka Suo.
Listen carefully.
If you're still my son
you have to strive for the throne.
This isn't just about you.
It's also for the sake of the entire Ice Tribe.
Father!
Turnip!
You still keep shaking water off?
I almost forgot that
you now have the elegant name of Snowdash, right?
Snowdash... can you behave?
Can you be good and let me wash you properly?
Again?
Li Luo.
What is the matter?
I have questions about the mortal realm to ask you.
Come meet me at the lake in Snowmist Forest.
But I'm...
Snowdash...
did you already notice the messenger owl
and purposely get me all wet?
You want me to get changed into something clean, right?
You're so annoying.
Ka Suo.
What are you doing?
Perfect timing.
I'd like you to teach me how to fish like the mortals do.
You're worried about me.
I know that you'd surely support Prince Shi in taking the throne.
However...
if you are upset, you can tell me.
Why would I be upset?
It's obvious that Prince Shi didn't tell you
that he wished to become the King of Ice.
You're such close brothers...
I'm worried that...
you might feel that...
Do you know why I've asked you to teach me how to fish?
It's because I'd like to live in the mortal realm.
What?
My father insists on making me the next king.
However, my life span is now the length of a mortal's.
If I stay in the immortal realm, everyone will be upset.
They will be disappointed.
If I were to become the king
it would be unfair to Shi.
Once I move to the mortal realm
I can conceal my identity
and live the life of a mortal.
No one would find me strange.
From then on
I could spend the rest of my life
quietly and peacefully in the mortal realm.
But I can't use magical powers to make ice sculptures anymore.
Therefore, I have to learn how to fish.
For the rest of your life...
You make it sound so easy.
But I don't like hearing you say that about yourself.
If I had magical powers
I could hold on to your tears.
If you move to the mortal realm
will you feel lonely?
I'd be just like you.
Why would I feel lonely?
If you move to the mortal realm
can I go looking for you?
Do you really mean that?
I wouldn't have you take on such suffering alone.
We could...
We could be like we used to be in the mortal realm.
We'd look at the moon and have a few drinks on the roof.
When the weather is nice, we'd fly kites.
We could also go fishing.
I'd go with you to the market to sell fish.
There are so many other things we could do together.
Tell her.
Tell her now...
that you wish to live with her in the mortal realm.
That you wish to marry her.
As long as I have her with me
I don't mind having nothing at all.
Li Luo...
Will you...
Ka Suo! What's wrong?
I can smell blood.
I'm so hungry...
Step down, sword fairy! You're not to hurt Ka Suo.
You think that you can stop me?
An ignorant mortal...
Ka Suo! Come to your senses!
Mother.
What have you done?
He would even hurt the woman he loves.
I want everyone to see
how evil the compassionate Ka Suo has become
and how unfit he is to be king.
Li Luo!
Li Luo...
You actually injured Li Luo and threw her into the lake?
I've hurt Li Luo?
- Let me-- - Step aside!
I'll look after Li Luo.
Prince Ka Suo, you should look after yourself instead.
He's right...
I can't even control myself.
How could I be with Li Luo?
Ka Suo does know himself well enough.
That should save us a lot of trouble.
Shi.
What are you going to do?
Mother.
If you try to agitate the sword fairies within Ka Suo again
I'll break off our pact to make me the King of Ice.
I dare you!
You don't believe me?
You can give it a try.
Do what you must!
My dear brother...
don't give up so easily.
Who exactly are you?
I dare you to show yourself!
If you do, I can spare you!
Let me out of here if you know any better!
Let me out of here!
How dare you lock me up in such a place?
You must be sick of living!
Show yourself!
What in the devil are you?
How dare you trap me here?
Show yourself now!
I'll teach you a lesson!
Who exactly are you?
You're not fit to know who I am.
Not to mention, to talk to me.
Regardless of the realm
be it a mortal, immortal, fairy...
I don't want to die!
no one can escape from me.
I was wrong!
If you dare to run away again
this will be your end.
Who are you?
Why did you capture me?
Father!
I understand it now.
You're testing me, right?
You are...
Yan Da!
Father, you asked for me?
Where are Shuo Gang and your brothers?
Father is so feeble now.
If he learns that Shuo Gang is missing
it will surely affect his recovery.
I can sense the Life Flame flickering in great uncertainty.
Are they in trouble?
No, there are just some small issues.
When Shuo Gang was working on his magical powers
he wounded himself.
That's fine, then.
That's fine...
I might regain my full powers soon.
The Fire Tribe will never be defeated.
Does your hand hurt?
Why would it hurt?
Whenever you're nervous or feeling oppressed
you clench your fist tightly.
You're doing it now
and when you suggested to Father that you become the next king
you did it as well.
Shi.
Don't worry.
I won't blame you.
In my mind...
you're a better choice for the future king.
Don't feel oppressed for what you didn't do wrong.
If you ignore me because of it
I will blame you instead.
Would you like me to apologize to you?
Do what your heart desires.
After the Battle of Ice and Fire
the power of my soul was greatly affected.
Hence, the Ice Tribe and the three realms
are in great need of a new king
to take control of the situation.
I've summoned all of the officials here today
to announce to you that my successor to my throne
will be chosen between Ka Suo and Ying Kong Shi.
It should be Prince Ka Suo.
It should be Prince Shi.
What the Ice Tribe needs to do is repair the ice sheath
in order to fend off invasion from the Fire Tribe.
Ka Suo.
Ying Kong Shi.
The Six-leaf Ice Crystal is now gone.
The first challenge I have for you is...
Whoever comes up with a solution to repair the ice sheath first
will be the new king of the Ice Tribe.
Your Majesty.
This is an important issue.
Both Ka Suo and Ying Kong Shi
will need time to think it over.
No, it's fine.
Same here.
What is it?
You have an answer?
It's not an answer.
Before we repair the ice sheath
one thing needs to be done.
What is it?
- Removing the Holy Flame. - Removing the Holy Flame.
