The Starry Love (星落凝成糖 , Love When the Stars Fall , Xing Luo Ning Cheng Tang , 星隕凝結成糖果)

Mother.

I don't think you remember

you have a mother.

I'm afraid

you probably think all the voidwalkers are fools,

pawns to be manipulated and used

as you will.

You've found out, Mother.

You pretended to be promiscuous and free-spirited,

gathering information in secret,

coveting the throne,

and even plotting

to have Wudai and Dingyun turn against each other.

You caused such a terrible mess,

and you dared to hide it from me all this while!

I had them keep it from you

so as not to agitate you out of concern for your health.

How thoughtful

of you.

Please punish me, Mother.

How… How can I

use this whip?

Right.

I knew Mother wouldn't bear to punish me.

Not a single barb on that thing.

Mother,

I'm your biological son.

I'll teach you for being unrepentant!

Sir!

I'll teach you for being unrepentant!

It doesn't hurt.

Come here!

It doesn't hurt.

Don't pull my hair, sir!

Mother!

Mother,

your migraine is acting up.

Please calm down.

Rest.

Mother.

Feng,

I've told you this many times.

You and I are descendants of a clan that committed a grave crime.

There is no place for us

in the succession war.

The Void Empress is ruthless.

Do you really think

she can't see through

your facade?

It's dangerous to get involved in the succession war.

I

only wish for you to find someone you love

and live a peaceful life with her.

Why can't you

understand me?

Why do you refuse to give up on this obsession?

Mother.

I yearn for peace too.

But even after all these years,

I can't forget

how the Empress

afflicted you with that migraine

and how she drove us out of the Void

by claiming that we were sinful slaves.

I'm doing all of this scheming

so that we will never

go hungry or cold

ever again.

Feng!

The Fuzhu clan was annihilated

for going against the Void Tyrant's orders.

All of them died.

But you, a wretched woman, are still alive.

You're just a coward.

You seduced the Void Tyrant

with your looks

and even became his consort!

Do you think

I would allow

a shameless pair of mother and son such as you two to live?

No! Let my mother go!

I understand how you feel.

You were only a thousand years old back then.

I was restrained,

so I couldn't defend myself,

and you had to suffer

with me.

If you hadn't become the Void Patrol

by your own capabilities,

I wouldn't even be able

to stay in this Luowei Grotto in peace.

But, Feng,

you're fortunate

to have made it this far.

If you go any further,

I fear it will cost you your life.

If I don't fight,

I'll be at their mercy.

Either way,

they will kill us eventually.

I will become the Void Tyrant

and clear the name of you and the Fuzhu clan.

If the Empress, Wudai, and Dingyun

wish to wage war,

then we'll see who will be the last one standing.

You…

Mother!

Someone!

Yes.

Take my mother to rest.

Yes.

-Slowly. -Careful.

I've taken the Zhulong Army

under my wing.

It's all that insignificant

and bastardly Chaofeng's fault!

He ruined my great plans!

Chaofeng has always been inconspicuous.

That is why we dropped our guard

around him.

How are you so calm, Mother?

Could it be

that you already have a plan in mind?

At times like this,

it is all the more important to remain calm and assess the situation.

Think about it.

The second we moved to take down Wudai,

Chaofeng killed Zhu Jiuyin.

You mean

Chaofeng

was behind all of this?

Him?

The son of a slave?

His cultivation is mediocre.

Would he be able to devise such a meticulous scheme?

Is that possible?

Absolutely not!

Chaofeng was able to escape from your hand

with ease

is most likely on par with yours.

We've underestimated him all this while.

However,

he poses no threat

on his own.

You mean

he will work with Wudai?

We can't let them join forces,

of course.

Mother,

what is your plan?

My people have found out

that Princess Yetan

has frequently

been visiting Chaofeng since the trial.

The two of them appear to be growing closer by the day.

The Shangshu Academy examinations

have always been rigorous.

You're a mortal,

and you don't know any spells.

You'll need to study hard

for the next three days.

Are you ready for this?

How can I learn

all of this in three days?

Three days is a short amount of time.

But once you learn one of them,

you'll learn the rest accordingly.

As long as you can master one spell,

the rest will come easy.

So you're saying

once I master one spell,

I can learn the rest easily?

Revitalization Spell.

Regenerate decaying wood.

May the wood be strong and thrive.

May it thrive and grow sturdy.

Rise from the ground.

May the earthen deity grant it health.

Transform!

Grant it health.

Why can't I turn it into a flower?

The chant is "May it grow healthy in the earth."

You were too fast.

I didn't even see your hands clearly.

Do it again.

I'm sure I can learn it.

The Revitalization Spell is advanced magical arts.

I presume the exam
