Novoland: The Castle in the Sky

Episode 11

Star Flower Deity Amulet gone missing and the Cluster Amaryllis waking up...

This... this... means that the God of Shooting Stars Flower will appear already.

I only heard that once the Yin and Yang amulets have been connected together can you wake the God of Shooting Stars Flower.

The Stars Court is only tasked to watch over the Yin amulet of the Star Flower Deity Amulet.

Could the Cluster Amaryllis have anything to do with the Yang amulet?

I also have only a slight knowledge of the relationship between the Cluster Amaryllis

and the Star Flower Deity Amulet. I hope Teacher Uncle can explain it to us further. - Aiya! This...

You two... you two young lads...

In the middle of the night asking an old man to tell you stories, this...

Yufei, where's his wine?

Teacher Uncle, come. Come. Have a sip. Have a sip.

Fine then. I'll tell you two about it.

Legend says that during ancient times, the God of Shooting Stars, Shao Wu,

had a romantic relationship with the Humankind leader, Pian Yu.

What's wrong?

Xiao Wu... (Xiao - "Little", a term of address denoting close ties)

All your loved ones live on top of Cloud Mountain.

You also belong to that world.

While I... my feet can never leave land. (He can't fly)

I am not fitting for you.

What nonsense are you talking? As long as we love each other,

then we belong in one world, isn't that right?

Xiao Wu, one day,

I will definitely fly with you.

At the time, Shao Wu thought that Pian Yu was just randomly saying things.

But never thought that he really indeed was able to invent a pair of wings

and even was able to fly as he had previously wished.

But a commoner like him couldn't trespass onto the peak of Cloud Mountain.

So in the end, he had to suffer the punishment given him by the High Priest.

He was imprisoned in the deep abyss of the underworld on the distant Lei Continent.

Then wouldn't Shao Wu surely do something about that.

That's right.

But she herself was branded with an enchanted seal by the High Priest.

If at any time she tried to leave the peak of Cloud Mountain,

her energy would get exhausted and she would die.

Pian Yu asked Shao Wu not to worry about him.

Saying that as long as they were still alive, they'd have the chance to meet again.

Later, Shao Wu learned that Pian Yu got into a big battle in the deep abyss of the underworld

with the High Priest, who had locked him up there because he tried to escape.

They fought continuously for three days and three nights.

The blood spilt turned all the Spider Lilies in the deep abyss of the underworld, to the color red.

They are also what you now call the Cluster Amaryllis.

Just to see Pian Yu for the last time, Shau Wu

just disregarded everything and jumped into the deep abyss of the underworld.

It's really great to see you.

It was then said that Pian Yu's tears turned into Shooting Stars Pollen and got scattered throughout the world.

Henceforth, they became the Wingkind which are humans that can fly.

Shao Wu and Pian Yu died in each other's embrace. Their deep love for each other endured even death.

The Yin and Yang amulet joining together symbolizes

that the God of Shooting Stars reuniting with her lover.

Now that the Cluster Amaryllis has appeared,

it means that the lover of the God of Shooting Stars will also wake up soon.

The Seven Star Lantern falling down... the Cluster Amaryllis...

But we didn't know all about this.

How did Tingjun know about it?

Everything is good with Tingjun except

that he can't move past the stage of love.

Maybe this thing has something to do with Yi Fuling.

Previously, Yi Fuling trespassed onto the Floating Jade Mountain Ridge

and then afterwards, the Star Flower Deity Amulet was stolen.

That Qi Luolin is also Bia Tingjun's man.

Could it be that Bai Tingjun has been the mastermind of all this from the start?

Regardless, it was Bai Tingjun who destroyed the Seven Star Lantern.

It's like betraying one's own sect.

Teacher Uncle, how about this. From this day on,

all of the sect's disciples will focus on catching Bai Tingjun.

Ling'er, I will definitely not let you be in harm's way.

Ling'er, don't go.

Tian Ya Zi! Tian Ya Zi!

I'm looking for you for something.

You've seen enough.

You're really stingy.

Every time you come looking for me for help, you only give me a glimpse of it.

I'm afraid you'll die after having a second glimpse of it.

Say it. Why are you looking for me? (Tian Ya Zi : Heaven's Secret Door Descendant)

Shadows will rise from the extinguished light. Tears will melt the cinnabar.

The Flying Flower returns to earth, on the string of Heaven.

Are these four crucial sentences meant for me?

Why do you ask me this?

The shadow that appeared after the Seven Stars Lantern was extinguished,

was just like the flower on my back.

The God of Shooting Stars Flower has awakened early.

Now the pearl lily on your back has already bloomed.

This means that the Star Flower Deity Yin Amulet has already found its master. The next to come into this world should be the Star Flower Deity Yang Amulet.

Star Flower Deity Yang Amulet?

Could that be the God of Shooting Stars Flower's lover?

Have I not said it clearly enough?

So it turns out my Lord is the God of Shooting Stars Flower's true love.

So that's why the Queen put so much effort into fighting for her.

I understand. I must follow what those sixteen or so words said to do,

in order to find the Star Flower Deity Yang Amulet.

"Shadows will rise from extinguished light" has already come true,

"On the string of Heaven" can be understood as a slim chance of survival,

Then what does, "Tears will melt the cinnabar", mean?

I know what "tears will melt the cinnabar" means.

I was born in Tian Nu Village (Sky Lady Village).

Because of the flower on my back, I was treated like I was a demon girl.

That year, I was driven into prostitution.

It doesn't matter if you killed him or not, either way, today you die.

So wouldn't it be better if you let us have a little fun with you, huh?

Stop right there!

So many people bullying a woman?

Don't let me see you again!

What's wrong?

I think there's cinnabar in my eye.

Just cry it out.

Once you cry, the cinnabar will naturally dissolve.

The same goes for other situations. Once you cry it out, it'll pass.

Shadows will rise from extinguished light. Tears will melt the cinnabar.

Since the first two phrases both pertain to me,

then is this "Flying Flower returns to earth" also talking about me?

Don't be so pessimistic.

"On the string of Heaven." Perhaps, you still have a slim chance of survival.

You don't understand, the meaning of "on the string of Heaven"

is the One String Sky Cliff near the Sky Lady Village.

It was there that my Lord saved me.

Without him, how would I have become the Bi Anhua I am today?

No matter what, those Star Flower Deity Amulets have nothing to do with you.

Just treat it as if you never heard those sixteen or so words. (Editor Note: 4 words per line =16, but words were added to the idiom to make it clearer.)

But this has a great amount to do with my Lord!

If my guess is right, Yi Fuling is the God of the Shooting Stars Flower.

And my Lord said that only by understanding those sixteen or so words can he protect Yi Fuling.

So, my Lord is the destined lover of the Star Flower Deity!

Are you planning on sacrificing yourself for your lord?

No. Why? Why does it have to be me?

Do you think it's unfair? You sincerely love your lord,

but your lord is just treating you as a tool to pursue someone else.

It's not like that.

It's not like that! - You still think it's unfair?

But there's no fairness in this world. Both being from the Sky Secret Sect,

my senior brother Tian Jizhi is honored as Shuang City's prime minister and revered by thousands. But me?

Just hiding out in this wild, mountainous area. Based on what?

Let me tell you, as long as you yourself aren't willing,

no one can force you.

Informing Your Majesty, the Gloomy Sky Burial

isn't necessarily enjoyed by even the old nobility with their excellent talents and obviously outstanding moral values.

This Du Ruofei died young and hadn't yet accomplished anything.

May I ask why he can enjoy such a distinguished rite?

Du Ruofei courageously protected the Emperor.

He died in place of me in the hands of criminals. That's the greatest achievement that anyone can do.

Unless you think that even if I die, it wouldn't matter?

South Yudu City then can finally have a change of leadership.

But Your Majesty, don't forget.

You're also not yet 20 years old. Unruly!

I indeed can not fly yet. But Du Ruofei's burial will be carried out instead by the 8 great noble clans.

Rules are made by men. What I say will be the rule.

But Minister Xue has been getting sick lately so you don't need to attend anyway.

Court adjourned!

Respectfully sending Your Majesty off.

Your Majesty.

How was it? - No problem.

The eight great noble clans all agreed to carry out Ruofei's burial together tomorrow.

Being able to serve the Wingkind Emperor is an honor that they've earned after centuries of cultivation.

How about the Regent? - The Vermilion signature has been given.

He doesn't have any objection regarding this matter. I think that since he saved Xue Ling,

he won't be making any more hindrance regarding Ruofei's burial.

If we can fly,

the one who will be sending Ruofei to his burial

will have been us.

With the 8 nobility giving Ruofei the Gloomy Sky Burial Rite,

it's already giving Ruofei honor. Your Majesty should blame yourself anymore.

Moreover, your 20 years old birthday will be soon.

By that time, you can already fly in the Spreading Wings Ceremony.

Feng Ren must return the governing power to you.

From then on, there will already be no Regent that keeps getting on your way.

Princess Fei Shuang is here!

It's you? Why are you here?

Maybe...I should apologize for hiding my identity

last time?

No need. Look. Everyone in the palace says

that the conflict between Feng Tianyi and Shuang City
