Immortal Samsara (沉香如屑·沉香重华)

Lian, you were biased indeed.

You kept all the best for Tang Zhou.

Your master had no choice but to cook his own food.

I made some egg fried rice. Do you want some?

It's so fragrant.

What's wrong? You're eating so politely now.

Are you troubled?

You dare to say that you're not troubled?

You don't even know how to lie now.

Usually, when you encounter something,

you would've written them down in "A Mortal's Life".

Now, you're not even holding your brush.

And, you look distracted too.

Yan Dan, what happened? Tell me about it.

There's no secret between us, right?

It's not that I'm hiding it from you.

I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I feel strange when I touch Tang Zhou.

I have never had such feelings before.

And, I couldn't control myself at all.

So,

have you fallen for him?

I don't know.

Although I love to read mushy love stories

and I know how to write them,

I have never

fallen for someone before.

I don't know how it feels like to fall for someone.

That's why I don't understand

my feelings for Tang Zhou.

It doesn't matter.

Even if you don't know it right now, you'll know it eventually.

And, spirits have a long lifespan.

We have plenty of time and strength

to experience the feelings of the world.

However, Tang Zhou has a unique identity.

As a human,

he's the future successor of Lingxiao Sect.

And, he needs to be devoid of love and emotions.

After he finishes his trial,

he'll return to the Heavenly Realm

and be a deity again.

No matter how you feel about him by then,

I have to give you some advice.

Both of your statuses

are too far apart.

It's not a great match.

No matter what happens,

I hope you won't force yourself.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Yan Dan,

do you understand?

Sect Leader,

the plan went smoothly.

They've taken the bait.

I tried to strike the fruit, but I struck the leaves instead.

Has my power deteriorated that much?

You had enough strength.

It's just that you weren't accurate enough.

I'm sure you can hit it perfectly if you practice more.

Zi Lin, you don't need to console me.

When Zi Yan's poison was acting up,

I injected 500 years' worth of power into his body to slow down the poison.

However, I could never get back

the power I'd lost

no matter

how hard I trained.

As long as you're willing to help me out,

I will surely treat you well in the future.

The Fox Clan is a stubborn clan.

And, they hate it the most when people lie to them.

I'm just a lowly brush spirit.

I don't dare to offend them.

I think we should forget it.

If she finds out that I'm behind the trick,

it'll spell trouble for me.

As the saying goes,

artifact spirits, artifact spirits,

the better their artifacts, the better their spirits.

If you help me out,

I'll get you a top-quality weasel hair brush.

What do you think?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Are there truly Brush Fairies in the world?

We'll know when we try it.

If it's a yes, draw a circle. If it's a no, drop the brush.

Brush Fairy, Brush Fairy,

solve my mystery.

It's here.

Can the fox spirit, Lin Lang, do well in her training,

regain her power, and reach a new height?

Look, the Brush Fairy agrees with me.

Thank you, Brush Fairy.

I still have another question.

I'm at the age where I should get married.

Brush Fairy...

Brush Fairy, is there someone suitable for me?

So, you two joined hands in order to trick me?

I didn't teach him to do that.

Do you know what kind of punishment

awaits those who lie to the Fox Clan?

Wait.

My lady, this isn't my fault.

It's all his fault. He forced me to do this.

You tricked me again.

I did ask him to do that for the first question.

But I didn't tell him to do so for the second question, right?

Maybe he was right.

Maybe we're fated to meet.

Maybe we have an affinity for each other.

Why don't we give it a try?

Excellent skills!

I knew you could do it!

Princess of the Fox Clan,

you have such a beautiful face.

But what's with your terrible temper?

Do you think a girl like you can get married?

Hey, darned old man!

How dare you slander my wife?

I'll destroy you on our wedding day!

Who said I was going to be married to you? Who's your wife?

Do you believe that I'll destroy you right now?

Don't run! - Wait!

Don't do this! - Don't run!

Don't run!

Seems like they do have an affinity for each other indeed.

But...

For my safety,

I think I should keep it a secret.

No hairpin matches the wound on Xiao Qi's neck.

Yan Dan. - What's the matter?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

There was nothing between me and Fu Shuang.

Yesterday, I played along with her

in order to acquire intel from her.

Don't misunderstand us.

I will never give your items away.

What are you doing?

Why are you explaining yourself here?

I just don't want people to misunderstand me.

I wanted to explain myself to you last night.

However, I was afraid that I didn't look sincere enough.

That's why I read all those excerpts.

They stated that misunderstandings must be resolved as soon as possible.

You know that, right?

Taoist Tang, you were always stuffy and stubborn.

I didn't expect you to read those excerpts just to apologize to me.

Fine then. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved,

I'll forgive you.

As for the bouquet,

since you've read so many excerpts,

have you ever heard of the verse called.

"Every time I pass by the garden, I care not about the flowers"?

What does that mean?

That means.

I don't like anything else.

I only like the Chenhua Hairpin.

I've checked the other shops. There was no match.

All right then.

Miss, your hairpin looks exquisite.

It's just that the materials are too ordinary.

Do you want to order one made from jade and gold? It'll look better.

So, your shop provides custom orders?

As long as you pay enough and give us the design,

we can prepare everything for you.

The shopkeeper said this was the custom pattern Fu Shuang gave to him.

According to this, the shape of this hairpin

does match Xiao Qi's wound.

If that's the case,

it's highly likely that Fu Shuang was the old lady who killed him.

Are members of Shenxiao Palace this terrifying?

They can actually transform themselves?

If we only have this as our evidence,

I'm afraid she won't admit to it.

Xiao Qi once said

that members of Shenxiao Palace have a three-petal peach blossom tattoo.

If we can prove that she has the tattoo,

that means she's the culprit.

I'm sure she'll hide the tattoo on discreet parts of her body.

It's inconvenient for you two to investigate her. I'll do it.

Miss Yan?

What are you doing here?

It's like this. Tang Zhou sent me here to apologize for his rudeness.

He said he knew his fault.

He wanted to order some garments for you as his apology.

However, he doesn't know your measurements.

That's why he sent me here.

I see.

I'll tell my maidservants to give you the measurements after they take it.

You can leave. - It's fine.

Both of us are women. There's no need to be shy.

Come, don't be shy.

I'm coming. - I don't think this is appropriate.

I think it's around this long.

I'll ask my maidservants to do it. - Relax. It'll be fine.

Miss Yan, I'm being serious here.

This is...

Miss Yan.
