The first 200 lines.
There are many injured soldiers inside. It's not correct for a woman to enter.
Wait out here for me.
Second Prince.
Your Highness.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
These soldiers may belong to Chang Sea, but they acknowledge you more.
Ever since I returned from Kunlun Mountain
I've been leading the army in place of my uncle all these years.
Naturally, they would look to me.
Uncle has no sons.
This is also why he won't break ties with the Mermaid Clan so easily.
After all, the Celestial Tribe rules from so far away.
When the Celestial Army leaves, leaving him with the Mermaid Clan
it will be the Chang Sea Army who suffers the retaliation.
If there is a war, you must be ruthless and leave no survivors.
Save my leg.
Do you want your leg or your life?
If someone like me loses my leg, that is as good as losing my life.
How will I earn a living?
Listen.
Your leg has been too severely injured.
Army Physician.
Your Highness.
What is the condition of their injuries?
It... It isn't good.
Do you want to return home?
Even in my dreams.
If I gave you a chance to end this fighting
that has gone on for dozens of millennia, would you be willing to take it?
I would! I would!
Everyone, I have a request to make.
Will you lend me your assistance?
Your Highness, we are just injured soldiers.
We could risk our lives for you but how could men like us make a difference?
In this main tent, there are only about 40 men.
How can we help you?
I know what you are all worried about.
After all, Chang Sea Army doesn't want to wage war against the Mermaid Clan.
You're afraid you'll be committing a crime.
Your Highness, we are not afraid of dying.
We're afraid that a war
will bring disaster to our parents and wives.
Yes, the Mermaids are violent. They take their revenge.
In our endless fight
we are the ones who are injured, the ones who joined the army.
Should there be a great war, winning would be good
but if we lose, the army will just give a document of surrender
while us underlings will be left in misery.
Yes.
It isn't as if we haven't fought against the Mermaids before.
We mostly came away with losses.
- Yes, Your Highness. - We have our difficulties.
How could I not disregard the lives of all those in Chang Sea?
This is the Celestial Tribe's Crown Prince.
His Highness has come here
to prove the Celestial Tribe's resolve to wage war against the Mermaid Clan.
The Celestial Palace has finally noticed Chang Sea.
Your Highness.
May the Celestial Palace send its army to drive the Mermaids out of Chang Sea.
My entire family of 13 died by the hands of the Mermaid Clan.
They are my sworn enemy!
May the Celestial Palace send its army to drive the Mermaids out of Chang Sea.
I make an oath here today.
I will drive the Mermaids out of Chang Sea and return peace to you.
- Thank you, Your Highness. - Thank you, Your Highness.
What is wrong?
I came across an injured soldier and saw blood.
I suddenly feel a bit unwell.
It might be because I drank yesterday.
This young man looks like the refined type.
He must not be accustomed to being in an army camp.
Here, drink some water.
No need.
That is fine.
The water in this kind of place may not be clean either.
Why don't you return to rest?
Is there a clean tent so an army physician can take a look?
I'll go find a clean tent right away.
How is he?
- This... - Be forthright.
Report, Master.
This young man has the pulse of one who is pregnant.
What?
I understand. You two may step outside now.
Do not speak of this.
Please rest assured.
Ye Hua, is what he said true?
I...
Su Su.
You cannot stay here now. I must send you back immediately.
Why must you send me away?
There will soon be a big war in Chang Sea.
You are with child. I cannot allow you to stay here.
You are also a mortal. Why do you have to stay?
One last time.
- Really? - Absolutely.
All right, I'll trust you one last time.
Where are you thinking of going?
We just learned I am with child. Are you not letting me walk around now?
So I am pregnant now?
How come you don't seem happy?
Since you heard I am with child, you have had a serious expression.
Have I?
I haven't seen you smile.
I'm so happy that I don't know how to smile.
Congratulations, Master, you are going to be a father.
Congratulations to you too. You're going to be a mother.
Is it good?
I made all of these.
If they are not to your liking, I'll find other things to cook for you.
When you first began working to be an immortal, did you cook for others?
But because you knew how to use weapons, you were sent to subdue monsters?
I have never cooked for another before.
Really?
It tastes so good though.
Ye Hua, what were you like as a child?
When I was a child?
Did you like to cry or throw tantrums?
I'm wondering if this baby will be like you.
Did your mother have a smooth delivery when she gave birth to you?
My mother had difficulty giving birth to me.
She had labor pains for seven days.
Such torment?
My father says so as well.
Then your mother must dote on you very much.
I can't say I was pampered.
The moment I was born, I was taken away.
I only saw my mother when I became a young boy.
My respectable teacher is very well-known.
Because of this
I studied every day for 14 hours straight starting at dawn
until evening when lights had to be lit.
Because your teacher had some fame
you had to suffer such torment.
Then don't you think the Crown Prince in heaven
would have to suffer such torment every day?
Perhaps.
Why don't we leave?
Yan Zhi.
Uncle.
If you hadn't come, I'd have already forgotten about you, my nephew.
Uncle.
I came here because I want to borrow some troops from you.
Borrow troops?
Keep on dreaming.
In the past, my mother's father treated you like his own son.
I cannot believe you are now behaving with such ingratitude!
Your mother's father?
Your mother has been dead for hundreds of millennia.
Your father has been sealed in the Bell of the East Emperor for 70,000 years.
The entire Ghost Tribe
is under the control of your brother, who used to be irresponsible.
What do you have? You dare speak so boldly in front of me?
If my grandfather had had sons of his own
instead of having only my mother and my aunts
you would not be in any position to be the Mermaid King!
Leave, leave! Don't spoil my good mood.
If you keep gabbing, you'd better be careful or I'll become hostile.
- You! - What? Leave!
Didn't you hear him tell you to leave?
Let me tell you. Even the Water King has to show respect to us.
If the Ghost Lord came, even he would have to carry our King's shoes.
You have no power or authority.
You only have the meaningless name of Eldest Prince.
How dare you spoil our leader's mood?
That's right. Leave! Our leader has no time to listen to you.
- Leave! - Leave!
If it weren't for your grandfather, who gave me this position
I'd have cut you up already!
He doesn't know what's good for him!
King.
You shouldn't drink so much.
You have to attend a banquet later at the Water King of Chang Sea's Palace.
A banquet?
The Water King wants me to marry one of his daughters to avoid war.
He had some eldest disciple of Mo Yuan fight me for dozens of millennia.
Now he's trying to use a woman on me.
Nothing will work! Chang Sea will be mine sooner or later!
Greetings, Father.
Hong'er, rise.
Hong'er, go in my stead.
Bring me back a princess you like. She will be my wife.
All right.
You will go with the prince.
Don't treat them too well or else they'll walk all over us.
Don't let them think giving me a princess will do any good.
Yes.
How long have I been sleeping? Sleep has me confused.
There is a banquet tonight. You are pregnant, so you shouldn't go.
Good. I don't want to attend to those princesses.
I'm going now.
Your Highness, there's been a change.
The one who came isn't the Mermaid King, but his youngest son.
That is even better.
Come, drink.
Young prince, you have such spirit.
You bear a resemblance to the Mermaid King long ago.
It makes me so envious, for I have only two daughters.
Water King, you need not be so polite.
Come, let's all raise our cups in a toast to the young prince.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
