The Blossoming Love (2025) s01e19 Episode Script

1
[Episode 19]
My father always told me
that he deeply loved my mother.
But my mother
passed away in childbirth
soon after I was born.
Now it seems
that might all have been lies.
Even my mother's remains
are nowhere to be found.
And my Madam
I know she carries many secrets.
But after all, she's the one
who raised me,
who nurtured me.
I don't know whether telling Xie Xuechen
about her secrets
is right or wrong.
And Mu Xuanling
if she truly shares my bloodline,
if she really
is my mother's child,
then should I like her,
or should I hate her?
I don't know either.
Did I share too much with you?
Not at all.
Sometimes saying it out loud helps.
And only by saying it out
can you start to solve these things one by one.
And once you've solved them all,
when you look back,
you'll realize
it's not such a big deal after all.
In fact, the truth
isn't always that important.
You are you.
That will never change.
Those who love you
won't leave because of it.
And those who do leave,
you don't need to care about them.
So, in short,
just be the happiest version
of Miss Gao.
I didn't expect you
to be so good at comforting people.
We're friends.
If you ever feel troubled,
just let me know anytime.
Friends?
You're only the third person
in my life
to call me a friend.
What about the first two?
The first
was my junior,
Cui Wanwan.
She stayed with me in the Palace
for ten years.
But it turned out
she was a spy from the Decaying Immortal Pavilion.
She was exposed later
and killed by Madam.
The second was Mu Xuanling.
She told me yesterday
that she considered me a friend.
But that turned out to be fake too.
And the third is you.
I swear,
I'm definitely real.
A true friend!
I believe you,
a true friend!
Your Grace.
What is it?
The Saintess and Xie Xuechen's group
have moved from the Moonlight Heights
to the Mirage Palace.
It seems
they've found something.
I've mastered the Jade Vault Technique,
and my spiritual channels are now open.
This is the perfect time
for an old reunion.
Grudges of all these years, old and new,
should be settled properly.
[Starfall Valley]
Madam.
Madam Su,
have you made your decision yet?
This flower beside me
is called Reunion Bloom.
It feeds on blood.
But if it absorbs blood
from close relatives,
its petals will turn black.
No matter the outcome today,
it must remain known only to us.
It must never be spread.
If you agree, make a vow.
Otherwise,
pretend I never mentioned it.
I agree.
I don't agree.
Mr. Xie, what do you mean by this?
And what do you mean by this, Madam Su?
This is no Reunion Bloom.
This is an Autumn Dread.
If you drip fresh blood on it,
you'll form a blood pact with it,
falling under its control,
and becoming its slave.
Though they appear similar,
one is a plant,
the other a beast.
Their aura is different.
Madam Su, you surely know this.
Madam.
Mr. Xie,
you've colluded with a demoness from the Dark Abyss
to ambush my Mirage Palace.
Don't blame me for delivering
ruthless justice.
She dares to attack you directly.
What is she trying to hide?
Madam Su,
your array can't trap me.
If you insist on this,
it will harm the Mirage Palace.
Are you sure you want to risk the Mirage Palace
for your own selfish motives?
Is this how a Madam shoulders responsibility?
I act righteously to wipe out evil.
How is that selfish?
Form the array!
Madam!
Madam Su has gone mad.
She's actually attacking Mr. Xie!
What do we do now?
Bao,
stay here.
Do not go outside.
I'll go help.
Nan Xuyue!
- Why are you here? - Quickly, drive the Cloud Floating Airship
over Starfall Valley
and block out the sunlight.
Block out the sunlight?
Su Ningzhen's power isn't enough.
She must draw on the force of nature
to face Xie Xuechen.
Her golden cage draws its strength from sunlight.
As long as the sun shines,
the golden cage persists.
The stronger the sunlight,
the sturdier the golden cage.
No wonder she scheduled the meeting for this hour.
She planned her ambush well in advance.
Madam,
if something happens to Xie Xuechen
inside our Mirage Palace,
how will you explain it to the Immortal Alliance?
Why should I explain anything?
As long as I get what I want,
that's enough.
Madam,
is your target Mu Xuanling?
Why is that,
Madam?
Who exactly is she?
Tell me, Madam!
Stop her!
Yes, Madam!
Madam!
Let me go, Madam!
Ultimate Jade Vault Technique!
Xie Xuechen!
Master!
Madam.
Sang Qi
Mr. Xie,
how does the Jade Vault Technique
taste?
How is it possible
for you to master it?
Of course, it's because
Ling helped me.
I told you.
We're not on the same side.
I stand with my master.
Ling.
Where is Su Ningxi's body?
She's already dead.
What more do you want?
Why did she just get to die as you say?
Even she's dead,
I'll still dig her up
and grind her bones to dust!
Don't even think about it.
Back then,
you were also among those who ambushed me
at the Wind Pavilion, weren't you?
Twenty years have passed,
yet you people from the Mirage Palace
are just as hateful as ever!
Sang Qi!
Qiumin!
Fool.
Madam!
Su Ningzhen,
you can abandon the Mirage Palace,
you can disregard your own life,
but this person
you raised her yourself,
pinned all your hopes on her,
even
passed all your cultivation to her.
If you want her to live,
then tell me where Su Ningxi is.
She's Ningxi's daughter.
She carries Ningxi's bloodline.
Do you really want to kill her?
You foolish woman.
Su Ningxi betrayed me,
giving birth to this bastard with Gao Fengxu,
and you ask me to show mercy?
But
you've reminded me.
Today,
I'll cut off one of her arms first
to avenge that strike twenty years ago.
No!
Ningxi didn't betray you!
The one who wounded you that day was me,
not Ningxi!
[Twenty years ago]
Ningzhen.
I'll leave soon.
Where are you going?
I promised Sang Qi
to go into seclusion with him.
But you also promised me
that you'd never leave me.
And now, for a Spirit clansman you barely know,
you're abandoning
the younger sister who's been with you since childhood?
Ningzhen,
you've grown up now.
You no longer need my protection.
I don't know when it started,
but now it's you protecting me instead.
I've trained so hard
just so I wouldn't hold you back,
so I wouldn't be like I was as a child,
getting you hurt while protecting me.
If becoming stronger means you'll leave,
then I'd rather stay useless forever!
Ningxi,
if you betray the Mirage Palace,
Madam won't let you and Sang Qi go.
Gao Fengxu will also send people to hunt you down.
Ningxi,
is this really worth it?
Ningzhen,
one day,
you'll meet someone
who truly enters your life.
I don't want that!
Su Ningxi dared to ally with the Spirit Clan,
lowering and degrading herself so much.
It's utterly disgraceful
to the Mirage Palace!
Madam,
it must have been that Spirit clansman
using magic to deceive my sister,
causing her to lose her senses.
Please don't blame my sister.
You've done well.
When and where are they meeting to run away?
Tomorrow, at the seventh quarter of the Yin Hour,
at the Wind Pavilion.
[Wind Pavilion]
Apply this Soul Capturing Bloom Extract
to your neck and cheeks.
Disguise yourself as Ningxi
to lure and kill Sang Qi.
The scent of Soul Capturing Bloom
can confuse one's mind.
It makes one see
- the person one most wishes to see. - Ningxi!
Even cultivators at the Spiritual Form stage
You're here. That's enough.
cannot resist its effects.
It was me
who disguised as Ningxi,
stole her Sword of Vitality,
and cut off your arm.
Form the Beast-Trap Array!
The Beast-Trap Array is complete.
Stop entangling yourself
- with this Spirit clansman. - Ningxi!
Ningxi!
Why?
Because you disgust me.
So
everything before
was all a lie?
From start to finish,
it was a trap!
As the Young Madam of the Mirage Palace,
how could I ever fall for a vile spirit like you?
Every word I said
was just to survive.
Who knew you'd take it seriously?
So I went along with it.
Kill this remnant of the Canglang Clan!
It wasn't Ningxi
Madam
But in the end,
she still married Gao Fengxu
- and bore this bastard! - No!
She didn't marry Gao Fengxu.
Ningxi is dead.
She died before the wedding.
Ningxi,
Sang Qi is already dead.
You should stop resisting
and obediently marry into the Moonlight Heights.
No
He's not dead.
You cut off his arm,
but you let him escape, didn't you?
At the Wind Pavilion,
Sang Qi was ambushed by the five great elders and me.
Do you think he could have survived?
I know
you can bring the dead back to life.
To prevent future trouble,
I've already reduced Sang Qi's body
to ashes.
I only brought back this arm
as proof to you.
Ningxi,
as long as you behave,
all your past mistakes
can be forgiven.
Otherwise,
don't blame me for showing no mercy.
Madam,
Ningxi just couldn't think clearly for a moment.
I'll persuade her.
Ningzhen
It was you
You pretended to be me
and deceived him, didn't you?
Ningxi,
I truly did it for your sake.
Enough!
Su Ningxi,
in seven days,
people from the Moonlight Heights
will come here to pick up the bride.
If you refuse to comply,
I will find a way to make you submit!
Ningxi,
you're about to get married,
yet you're still helping me with my hair.
After this,
I won't be able to stay with you anymore,
nor will there be a chance
to have a good chat with you.
Try to keep your temper in check
and don't act too impulsively,
or you'll suffer for it.
When cultivating,
never be greedy for quick results.
Excess leads to harm.
If you lose control and fall into madness,
I won't be there to help you anymore.
I wanted to leave before,
but I just couldn't let you go.
I've discussed with Sang Qi.
Once we find a place to settle,
if you're willing,
we'll bring you there.
If not,
the Mirage Palace will still be your safe home.
You're diligent, driven,
and very obedient.
Among the disciples,
you're the most outstanding one.
One day,
Madam will surely pass her position
on to you.
I promised to always stay with you,
but now I have to break that promise.
In the future,
you'll have many disciples
who respect you
and love you.
You'll also meet someone
who truly understands and cherishes you.
But Sang Qi
he has only me.
I can't bear to deceive him,
nor do I wish to abandon him.
Ningxi!
Ningxi!
What's wrong?
Someone, come quickly!
Don't call for anyone
Ningxi
Three days ago,
I took Fading Poison.
In this body of mine,
even seeking death
is difficult.
Promise me one last thing:
bury me together with Sang Qi.
If there's a next life,
I'll repay him for an entire lifetime.
Ningxi
Ningxi!
I was wrong.
Sang Qi isn't dead.
He escaped, Ningxi.
Ningxi, don't leave me!
Her body
is filled with endless vitality.
Trying to end her life is nearly impossible.
Only Fading Poison,
the most poisonous thing in the world,
could bring her death,
but only after three days of unbearable pain in her heart.
Ningxi
Ningxi
Ningxi, no!
You're awake.
Madam
Where is this, Madam?
Where's Ningxi?
Su Ningxi
is already dead.
So it wasn't a dream.
Ningxi really is gone.
Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony.
All sects of the Immortal Alliance will attend.
You'll disguise yourself as Ningxi
and marry Gao Fengxu.
But Ningxi is dead!
So what?
If people find out Su Ningxi colluded with the Spirit Clan,
and the immortal Primal Celestial Maiden
even died for love,
how could the Mirage Palace maintain its standing in the Alliance?
Ningzhen,
be obedient.
This concerns the reputation
of the Mirage Palace and the Moonlight Heights.
We can't let anyone detect the truth.
Ningxi is dead,
but we must go on living.
I can't do it.
I
Madam,
I need to see my sister!
After the wedding ceremony,
I'll let you see her.
Otherwise,
you'll never see her again in this life!
I never knew
never knew
everything she suffered.
All this time, I thought she betrayed me,
that she hurt me.
I hated her my whole life.
So
Gao Qiumin
is Su Ningzhen's daughter.
The one who married Gao Fengxu back then
was Su Ningzhen.
Madam,
what is
my true identity?
I'd rather
Qiumin be my child.
Gao Fengxu insisted on marrying Ningxi
only because he desired
her Primal Celestial Maiden body.
Her spiritual channels
are the source of spiritual power.
Her womb
is the root of vitality.
She has a lifespan of a thousand years.
Madam
- Madam! - Even after death, her vitality lingers.
Gao Fengxu and Miaohua
wouldn't even spare her corpse!
Gao Fengxu infused his blood
and the Chaos Pearl together
into Ningxi's body,
using her vitality
to nourish it.
He wanted the Chaos Pearl to accept him as its master.
But to his utter shock,
the Chaos Pearl didn't recognize him.
Instead, it formed a child
within Ningxi's body.
Just like a pregnancy,
Ningxi's belly grew day by day.
Until ten months later,
they cut her open
When Qiumin was born,
the Chaos Pearl vanished.
Gao Fengxu and Qiumin had their bloodline tested,
confirming they were related by blood.
So we believed
that the Chaos Pearl fused
with his blood
and took human form.
He was overjoyed
and publicly claimed that Ningxi died in childbirth.
He created the fake pearl
that Miaohua eventually hid in the Pearl Tower.
Madam,
then does that mean
I am the Chaos Pearl?
Before,
I always thought so, too.
But it wasn't until yesterday
that I realized we were all wrong.
The Chaos Pearl didn't fuse
with Gao Fengxu's blood,
nor did it disappear.
It escaped!
That dazzling light
didn't mark Qiumin's birth.
It was the Chaos Pearl descending.
It escaped, hidden by that burst of light.
And all of us assumed
it had transformed into Qiumin.
Mu Xuanling
is the truly Chaos Pearl!
She and Qiumin
were both born from Ningxi's body,
thus they share a bloodline connection.
Qiumin also mentioned
that when Mu Xuanling was a child,
her face bore demonic patterns.
Those patterns are identical
to the sacred markings of the Chaos Pearl!
So
they weren't demonic patterns.
I am the Chaos Pearl.
If that's the case,
then everything makes sense.
Mu Xuanling has no spiritual channels or essence.
The so-called demonic patterns
are markings from the Chaos Pearl.
Her demonic aura is merely the Chaos Pearl's energy.
No one in this world truly knows
what the Chaos Pearl's energy is like.
Assumptions were made,
mistaking her for a Spirit Clan member.
All these years, I've searched
for Ningxi's vitality in Qiumin,
but I never found it.
It turns out I was looking at the wrong person.
Mu Xuanling is the true Chaos Pearl.
She absorbed Ningxi's vitality.
Perhaps by capturing her,
we could revive Ningxi!
Sang Qi,
I know you want Ningxi to live, too.
Capture her.
This is the only hope!
Madam!
Madam!
Are you okay, Madam?
Master
are you really going to hurt me?
Ling
ten years ago at the Moonlight Heights,
the reason I noticed you
was because I sensed
Ningxi's aura
faintly in you.
But you're not like her.
What I saw in you
was myself.
If Ningxi and I
had a child,
it would probably be like you.
So even though
I knew you carried ill will towards me,
I never truly considered
hurting you.
Come here.
Sang Qi,
you are not a heartless man.
Otherwise, Su Ningxi
wouldn't have fallen for you.
Sacrificing Mu Xuanling
won't truly bring Su Ningxi back.
Do you really want to do this?
But what if
there's even a sliver of hope?
I don't want to
and cannot give up on reviving Su Ningxi.
This hope
lies with Ling,
with the Chaos Pearl.
Ling,
come here.
I won't harm your life.
Miracle
requires equivalent exchange.
To revive someone
dead for twenty years,
how is that easy?
Defying the natural order
will face consequences.
Today,
I won't let you harm her,
not even slightly.
No one can stop me!
You've gone mad.
So what if I have?
Madness is nothing
compared to the horrors of the human heart!
Xie Xuechen,
now my spiritual channels have opened,
filled with the spiritual power of Jade Vault
and the demonic energy of the Dark Abyss.
With your mortal body,
how can you stop me?
Enough talk.
Let's find out.
Ling,
kill Xie Xuechen.
Kill him!
Ling,
kill him!
Mu Xuanling,
in the Snow City,
you can live
like an ordinary person.
Tonight,
I feel like I've finally seen the real human world.
Mu Xuanling,
wait for me.
Ling!
Nan Xuyue,
hurry
take her somewhere safe.
Ling!

It is a destructive force

Without nearing the brink of death,
I couldn't have comprehended
Jun Tian's ultimate swordsmanship.
