Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

Just like that, she went through hardships.

When the demonic aura in her has dispersed, she came here to our Tianxi Palace

and had been taking care of you.

Every day, she serves you tea and water, cleans you up, and cooks your medicines.

She refused to leave for even a step.

Never thought...that I...will still have a day like this.

That I will still have this great fortune for us to reunite.

Your good days are yet to come.

She went to cook your medicine. I will go call her now.

Do not rush.

Do not tell anyone first that I have woken up.

Why?

Could it be...

State Master, I heard that State Preceptor

saved you from the hands of Zhonghao. Is that true?

State Preceptor saved me?

If he knows that I am awake,

I am the first one he will kill.

State Preceptor.

Xiao Fu, hand me a bowl.

Yes.

State Master, you are awake.

State Preceptor, you came at such good timing.

Of course I would come now that you are awake.

If I am late, I fear that...

I would be talking to you in prison.

You are quite honest.

We are already people at odds with each other.

No need for us to be pretentious.

Did you come to kill me?

I really do not want to.

Do not want to.

Just that if I do not kill you,

you will kill me then.

You were the one who manipulated Zhonghao to open the Spirit-Binding Abyss?

At the start, I did not. But later on, circumstances changed.

I can only push the boat along the current.

Opening up the Spirit-Binding Abyss is a crime of treachery.

My Xuan Bird Clan has been loyal to our master ever since.

Moreover, I could not open it.

You know that the reputation of my father was completely destroyed and he died from injustice.

My whole Xuan Clan was harmed and my family fell.

The helplessness in between,

State Master, can you understand?

If you want to kill me,

why did you not make a move when I was unconscious?

The reason for that

is hard to say in a few words.

If not needed, I will not make this step.

I just wanted the witch doctor to do some maneuvers

and make you have a good dream.

To sleep for a very long time.

To sleep forever.

Until one day, when we can sincerely face each other and let go of our past grudges,

maybe...

Too bad. All of it was found out by someone.

Master? When did you sincerely treat me as your State Master?

For you, I am just a tool for you to accomplish your wild ambitions

and to be able to hold great power.

It is my fault

for realizing it too late.

Have you forgotten your promise to me?

It was you who lied to me first.

It was you who disappointed me.

Forget it. Everything is in the past.

I know that your innate temperament is pure and kind. You are not good with scheming.

This is also the reason why

I chose to help you.

Yuandu is my birth father.

Even if he killed my husband, how could I be conscienceless like him

and kill him too?

Forget it.

The matter has come to this.

I made a wrong move and fell into your hands.

I have nothing to say.

Just that pity for that daughter of mine

whom I have never seen yet and has just returned, Ling Xi.

And also, my Qing'er.

They both do not know about these matters.

After I die, you must not hurt them.

Ling Xi is kind. Baoqing is naive.

I will surely respect and love them, not have any evil intentions toward them.

Furthermore, once you are gone,

since I am done with my vengeance, there is no longer any threat.

Shanling Tribe will be at peace.

Remember your promise.

Lingyue! When have I broke my promise to you?

State Master, no!

You rebel. If not because State Master begged for leniency on your behalf,

you would have long died with your family.

How could you still be alive until now? You ungrateful—

Grandma Shi!

She must leave with you.

Jingxiu, you will never be this arrogant for eternity.

One day, you will eat the ill fruit you planted.

Maybe that day will indeed come.

But too bad, you will not be able to see it.

Grandma Shi.

Grandma Shi.

Is it Ling Xi?

- Mother! - Ling Xi. - State Preceptor.

- Princess. - Ling Xi.

Mother. You are awake.

You are awake.

- Ling Xi. - Mother.

- You are finally awake. - My daughter.

For so many years,

I was unable to take care of you. You have suffered.

I did not. It is good enough that you are awake.

It is good that you are awake.

My daughter is back.

State Master, you have just woken up and recovered from your illness.

You should not get too excited.

Ling Xi, State Master's body and complexion is weakening.

She does not look good.

How come your pulse is so disordered?

Your spiritual power is dispersing rapidly.

Mother, do you feel unwell anywhere?

I am fine. Do not worry.

But you,

you have been serving tea and water by my bedside.

You must take good care of yourself.

Do not let me worry.

Okay?

Ling Xi. Why not ask your senior sister to come here again and check State Master?

Mother, my medical skill is limited.

I will go to Peach Forest and ask my senior sister to come check you.

Rest well. I will be back very soon. Wait for me, okay?

Wait for me.

State Preceptor, please do take care of my mother.

Be back quickly.

Ling Xi!

What is it, Mother?

Nothing. Travel slowly.

Wait for me.

We were master and subject once. Now that the grudges between us is over,

I surely will take good care of the two princesses on your behalf,

bring blessings to the citizens of the Shanling Tribe.

Princess! Princess!

For the State Master's death, the different clan leaders have arrived successively.

They are in the main hall now.

Princess Ling Xi has also returned.

Princess! Princess, quickly come out!

Stop hiding.

Princess! Princess!

Princess, quickly come out!

Princess!

Princess!

State Preceptor, Princess Ling Xi will not let anyone touch the body of State Master.

Lord Chibi is guarding over there. Both sides are in a deadlock.

Get out.

I told you to leave.

- Princess. - Leave!

Princess, what are you doing?

What are you trying to do?

State Master has died. The different tribe elders are here to show their respect.

I have to transfer the corpse of State Master to the funeral stage.

Who told you that my mother is dead?

- Witch doctor— - Do not mention any witch doctor to me.

My mother was almost harmed by one before.

How could you believe their words?

Princess, you came from Peach Forest.

Your adoptive father is Immortal Doctor Le Bo.

You also know a bit of medical skill. Whether a person is alive or not,

can you not discern it?

The spiritual energy of State Master has completely disappeared. She now has no pulse. Can those be fake?

Within the Six Realms, there are numerous drugs that can make a person fake his death.

- Princess, you are being reasonable. At this— - Get out.

- Princess Ling Xi— - Get out!

State Preceptor. Princess Ling Xi will not let us touch State Master.

Wait here for me.

Yes.

The dead has left. Do not grieve too much.

My mother was still well before I left.

How could this happen?

State Master is gravely injured. After you left,

her spiritual spirit started to disperse.

This is the sequelae of the Spirit Absorption Technique.

To stabilize her soul, we prepared a huge amount of magical pills,

but it did not work.

In less than an incense time, she was gone.

Being able to see you after she woke up

was already a great blessing for State Master.

Blessing?

Ling Xi, the high ministers of Shanling Tribe are all in the main hall now.

After State Master dies, her funeral must be done immediately.

Stay strong.

Before my senior sister arrives, none is allowed to touch my mother.

I do not trust the witch doctors here.

I only trust my senior sister.

Okay. We will follow what you want.

Huayan.

Princess.

My senior sister is not in Peach Forest, she is in the mortal world.

I left a message for her,

but I fear that she cannot return that quickly.

Immediately go to Peach Forest now

and tell Chengyan what happened here. Tell him to look for my senior sister.
