Novoland: The Castle in the Sky.
- Episode 09 -
Actually, I want to see Feng Tian Yi.
To see if he's recovered from his injuries.If he's better,
then I should go back.
When it's dinner time, His Majesty will ask for you.
I've heard he's prepared a small feast for you at the South Dream Pavilion.
Really?
Then, can you come with me?
Me?
You are my personal palace maid. Of course, you have to come with me.
Besides, look at this huge palace.
Except for Feng Tian Yi, the Wingkind Emperor, I don't know anyone else.
With you around, I'll be more at ease.
Since you let me go there, I'll go then!
Xue Su! What else do you have to say?
Informing Your Majesty, I am innocent!
Whether it's the construction or repair of the irrigation systems or the mountain paths,
I have always been cautious, conscientious, industrious and frugal.
Never have I accepted any bribe and squandered public funds.
I hope Your Majesty can investigate it clearly.
Investigate clearly? The construction of the Unending Canal has already taken three years.
It has spent innumerable funds.
This 'Unending Canal' name you gave it is really good!
How long do you plan to 'not end' it?
The two brothers, He Qian and He Ben, who are in-charge of this construction
are closely related to you.
They are exercising tyrannical abuse in the area.
Just on accusations of misconduct, I've received dozens of petitions!
Are you saying that these things have nothing to do with you?
You're telling me that you're innocent?!
Your humble servant admits his mistakes. Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!
Your Majesty, Brother Tang innately has a good soul;
hence, he's easily fooled by others.
This Minister pleads with Your Majesty to have some consideration for my honor,
and give him a lighter punishment.
Minister Xue is surely jesting with me.
Since time immemorial, there is only the king and his subjects in the court.
There are no brothers.
But Minister Xue has given outstanding meritorious service.
Indeed, I can give your honor consideration
and set aside Xue Su's nine generation extermination punishment for his crime and just drag him out alone to be executed.
Yes!
Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!
Court adjourned!
- Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!- Respectfully sending His Majesty off!
We're done with your hair, Miss Yi.
Thank you.
Greetings, Miss Yi. His Majesty the Wingkind Emperor has ordered
for Miss Yi to go to the South Dream Pavilion for a gathering.
Alright.
Please.
Xiao Xue! Xiao Xue! Xiao Xue!
Forgive me for being rude.
May I ask who this girl, Xiao Xue, is?
Xiao Xue is a servant maid here at my Water Lily Hall. Do you not know this?
The names of the servant maids of Water Lily Hall all start with 'Qing'.
But I've never heard of anyone named Xiao Xue.
Huh?
It's quite late already. Miss, hurry and follow me there.
Please.
Finally, I'm able to see you. I have a lot of things to tell you.
No hurry. Sit.
You look really pretty wearing our Wingkind clothes.
Both of you may leave first.
- Yes.- Yes.
But the Wingkind food,
you might not get used to it.
Good thing, I personally made this for you.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Why did you come?
Xiao Xue, it's you. I was just thinking why I couldn't find you anywhere.
So you went to prepare for a dance?
Do you both know each other?
Within South Yudu City, who doesn't recognize Princess Fei Shuang?
But this lady... What's your name again?
There are really too many people here in the palace. I really can't remember them all.
You're a princess? But you...
Tian Yi, you're finally back.
I was even worried that you'd be so busy with your studies at Stars Court,
you might not be able to come back in time for your 20th Birthday Spreading Wings Ceremony.
While you were away, I practiced this Flying Mythical Bird Dance every day.
I was waiting to dance it with you at your 20th Birthday Spreading Wings Ceremony.
Are you here for the matter concerning Xue Su?
Xue Su? He used the fact that he's a member of the Xue family
and just spent his whole day drinking, seeking pleasure, and not doing his official job.
Older brother has long been disgusted with him.
Tian Yi, did you punish him on behalf of our Xue family,
just to get a thank you from me?
But since we are childhood friends,
this thank you is no longer needed.
Tian Yi, what are you eating? Is that a dish of 12 kinds of sliced raw food?
Miss, there's something that you don't know. This dish of 12 kinds of sliced raw food has another name.
It's called Mythical Bird and Phoenix In Harmony. It's my specialty dish.(Idiom for a harmonious married couple)
It's Tian Yi's favorite dish.
Are you done with your disturbance?
I was only joking with Miss Yi. You thought I meant it?
Do you remember what day it is today?
It's time for you to teach me the whip. Let's go!
I'm currently having a meal with Yi Fu Ling!
But you never eat hot food! We're Wingkind, we don't eat hot food!
People can change.
Just like your cousin, Xue Su.
When the late Emperor was alive, he was also an influential minister of South Nanyu City then.
So that's what you were concerned about?
Forget it! You're not in a good mood today.
I'll look for you again another time.
- You-- You-
How's your wound?
Tell me why your head is still on your neck, speak!
- Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!- Reporting to Your Majesty!
Please pardon Lord Xue. It's by the order of the Regent.
Say that again.
The Regent has ordered that Lord Xue must not be executed.
Really? Then I want to see if what I, the Wingkind Emperor, says counts
or what my respected and beloved uncle says counts!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, forgive your humble servant's disrespect! The will that the late emperor left
states that before you reach 20 years of age, when you will be able to fly, all important matters that concern the military and the government,
need to be referred to the Regent for his final decision.
Does executing a corrupt official count as an important military and government matter?
Actually, considering that you count this as an important military and government matter
is sufficient for it to be an important military and government matter.
For those who see this medal is like seeing the Regent in person.
Ling'er!
This place is dangerous! Come leave with me!
I can't! I can't leave.
Tian Yi's wound hasn't healed yet.
Feng Tian Yi? What kind of relationship does he have with you?
In short, I can't go with you.
- Quick leave with me!- Let go of me!
Blood! It's my father's blood!
I remember now! You killed my father!
Don't come any closer. Tian Yi? Tian Yi!
Why is it like this?

Don't you know that you've interfered in a very important matter?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
It's just that the music here is very nice!
Really?
Legend has it, that an empress dowager
likes the sound of splitting silk fabrics as music for fun.
The later generations were mad at her and considered her a beautiful woman who had harmed the country's progress. (because of her wasteful hobby)
But I think that hobby was very interesting.
Are you complimenting me?
The ancients said when we drink wine, we must pay attention to the wine accessories.
For white wine, it's suitable to use a rhinoceros horn cup,
early-morning autumn dew wine is suited to a colored glass cup,
and for the Top Scorer Red wine that has been aged for thirty years (TSR Wine - Zhuang Yuan Hong),
you need to use a porcelain glass in order to taste its flavor.
But I think that even with all these elegant things added together,
they can't be compared to the cleverness of you using glasses as a harp
and using water as your strings!
Although these cups look as if they are just randomly placed,
but in reality, they are specifically arranged based on the proper order of the five notes in a pentatonic scale.
But there's something I feel isn't right.
Where is it not right?
I can't put it into words,
it's like...
the wind blowing through the forest. The leaves are rustling.
This sound, it's so pleasant to hear.
But suddenly, there's a leaf that's fallen down.
I know now, it's this one.
This cup has a crack.
How can that be. I...
My cups are all the finest quality.
Have a look.
Subtle to this point.
You can't even see it by looking at it.
Let alone by hearing it.
I also don't know what's going on lately.
Even subtle sounds can't escape my ears.
Aren't you a person who's a master of tunes?
Well, you've never discovered it in the past?
Our Wingkind used to have a princess,
who could sense a pearl below 10 levels of bed mattresses.
You resemble her a bit.
Sir, you've overpraised me.
But this is no big deal.
You just have a pair of sensitive ears.
Come again tomorrow.
I want you to be my ears.
I've succeeded.
S-S-Sorry, I've come the wrong way.
What crime did you commit?
Why are you punished like this?
This is the legendary Lovers' Restraints.
It's like an infatuated lover pestering you. Won't let you leave even for a second.
The Lovers' Restraints were invented by Elder Ji Shu.
How did it end up in Queen Bai's hands?
And she uses it as she pleases.
Using it against Sister Ling's father
and also against you.
Stop randomly touching it. You won't be able to unlock it.
Previously, I indeed wasn't able to get it off. But luckily afterwards,
I read Elder Ji Shu's elaboration about the Lovers' Restraints in his book.
Elder Ji Shu is not only endowed with the talents of a genius when it comes to mechanism methods,
but also has his own understanding about the relationships between lovers.
This Lovers' Restraints divided into 10 life doors and 10 death doors.
Each door is closely connected to one another, and there's great danger at every step.
Each door corresponds to a stage in your love relationship.
The first door is...
it should be... first meeting. The position is at the right leg.
The first meeting of lovers is like a bubbling undercurrent.
I just need to return the water talisman at the ankle area to its original position.
So you've read it and understood it.
Of course, Elder Ji Shu is the one I admire the most.
Don't worry, I'll unlock this in no time.
There's someone coming. Quickly leave.
Wait.
Wait until the coast is clear, then come again.
Okay, I promise.

I used to imagine many times the scenario for our reunion.
I had never thought, it'd be like this.
Teacher's Shura Cinnabar is really magical.
Ji Shu, do you still remember,
the scene when we met for the first time?
The first time I saw you,
I fell in love with you.
The hair on your temples is like cutting knives, your eyebrows are like an ink painting.
I remember at that time, I was just an illegitimate princess (born of a concubine).
I looked at you from afar.
I never dared to have high hopes that you would smile at me.
Miss... Miss.
If you would just smile,
you surely would make this mountain full of tea flowers lose all its colors.(flattering a person by saying she's more colorful than the flowers when she smiles)
How are these tea flowers? They are clearly peach and pear flowers.
You surely will make this mountain full of peach and pear flowers lose all its colors.
How long have I not seen this face?
Do you know? In this vast Shuang City,
I kept looking for your shadow among the crowd.
If someone, even if he just looked very slightly similar to you,
I would greedily look and look.
If someone's voice sounded a little bit just like yours,
I would let him talk and talk.
I'd then imagine you had come back to my side again.
You are the one who destroyed everything about us.
What new tricks do you have now?
I still haven't deciphered that Lovers' Restraints from last time.
Don't mention the Lovers' Restraints anymore. That one compared to this one that I'm about to show you
is nothing at all.
- Really?- Are you ready?
Hearing the phoenix sing, deep and somber.
Take my lover and travel together.
You must remember this last half portion.
This is the password to open this secret room.
Within this secret room,
no one can bother us.
Come.
What is this?
The greatest difference between the Humankind and the Wingkind is the ability to fly.
But I believe that the Humankind definitely does not know
that not all Wingkind can fly.
Only those Wingkind with a wing pore on their backs and the nobility
can fly after they consume Shooting Stars Flower Pollen.
While this Shooting Stars Pollen originates from the God of Shooting Stars Flower which comes to earth once every one hundred years,
once the God of Shooting Stars Flower has reawakened, the Shooting Stars Pollen will spread across the lands of the Lan continent,
for the Wingkind to collect.
All these things that I'm talking about, am I boring you?
No! Continue speaking.
Collecting the Shooting Stars Pollen is the top priority of the Wingkind.
Wingkind's nobility has to spend a lot of labor and effort every time.
So, I want to invent a large-scale collection machine!
Once the God of Shooting Stars Flower has awoken,
it can automatically collect all of the Shooting Stars Pollen,
and we can then leisurely use it for one hundred years.
Isn't this a great way of life?
But the stuff you're talking about is all regarding your Wingkind.
What has that got to do with us Humankind?
I knew you'd ask that question!
Close your eyes.
Only open them after I've counted to three.
One... Two... Three!
What is this?
This thing can turn the large quantity of collected Shooting Stars Pollen into energy.
It can enable the wingless Humankind to fly.
'To travel with family,' the deeper meaning of this is:
I want to fly with you.
This thing, if it were bigger it would be better.
Why do you want to make it bigger?
Make it big enough to be a city!
Let's call it... Sky City!
Sky City?
Later Sky City will be our home in the sky.
Sky City was a dream of mine,
but you turned it into an ice-cold conspiracy.
So is this the way you showed your love for me?
Or did you, from the very start, slowly get close to me just for the blueprints?
Otherwise, with your concubine status and the fact that you are a woman, how could you have inherited the throne?
Inherit the throne?
Did you actually think that everything I did was so I could inherit the throne?
Stop! Stop! Don't run!
Stop! Where is he?
Ji Shu! Come with me. Quick!
Slow down!
The blueprints for Sky City,
you stole them and gave them to your Royal Father, didn't you?
Yes.
If you were to slap me,
if it would release your anger,
then go ahead and hit me.
Why did you do that?
Sky City was supposed to be a utopia for just the two of us.
Why did you have to make it the weapon that causes dispute between our two kinds?
Because it's the only thing that can enable me to become the unrivaled Princess of Shuang City.
Unrivaled Princess? Is that really so important to you?
Of course! Don't you know what the people say about me?
I'm just a simple girl from the royal clan.
How could I be good enough for the once in a hundred years genius of the entire Lan continent?
Only when I become the unrivaled Princess,
can I block out the words of the people!
Is what others say that important to you?
Ji Shu, as long as you agree to comply with Royal Father's request,
and modify the invention blueprints,
nothing will change between us. Okay?
It has changed. Everything has already changed.
- Ji Shu!- Don't follow me.
I never want to see you again... ever.

I did everything so that I could be with you.
But what about you? You actually betrayed me,
and got together with that slut, Lin Ruizhu!
Ruizhu was my wife.
She was the love of my life.
Before I got together with her, I had already told you clearly.
I definitely won't help Humankind with your plan to investigate Sky City,
and I also definitely won't have any association with you!
Do you think that without you there'll be no Sky City?
Aren't you overestimating yourself?
What are you trying to say?
I want to say, you thought the reason why I wanted to capture your daughter, Yi Fu Ling...
Oh no, the God of Shooting Stars Flower,
don't you think that this world has its own arrangements?
You invented the prototype of Sky City,
while your daughter is precisely the reincarnation of the God of Shooting Stars Flower.
It's really the heavens helping me, Bai Xue, the heavens helping my Shuang City!
But you just said,
you took the throne because of me. Since that's the case,
why are you dead set on dominating the world?
You admit defeat?
I never thought,
even Ji Shu can admit defeat.
What? You're afraid I'm going to capture your daughter, aren't you?
Eighteen years ago, when you abandoned me, why didn't you think of it then?
Eighteen years ago, why didn't you think of today?
