"Jianyu! Is that really you?"
Ying Yue screams at the top of her lungs. Jianyu who had his back turned to her; pauses as he recognizes the voice calling out to him. Quickly turning around, he sees a bloodied and wounded Ying Yue; kneeling on the ground only a few feet away from him.
"Ying Yue?"
Quickly running to her, Jianyu pulls Ying Yue into an embrace. Unable to say anything, Ying Yue could only cry out her tears of happiness onto Jianyu's chest. Everything she had bottled up finally came out. Jianyu pulls himself away from Ying Yue, and see's her wound. Furrowing his brows, Jianyu rips off a portion of his shirt and uses it to tie her wound.
"How did you get hurt?! Who did it?!"
"Sniff...Jianyu...it doesn't matter. How did you find me?"
"You called for me, didn't you?"
"I've been waiting...I waited and waited for you..."
"I know...and I'm finally here. The bracelet infused with your blood and notified me that you were in trouble so it pinpointed out your location to me. It's a good thing you were wearing it."
The crown prince watched as Jianyu and Ying Yue remain in an embrace. With anger welling up inside him, he motions for his guards to pull them apart. Every time the guards moved closer, Jianyu would lock eyes with each and every one of them. The guards were unsure as to why their instincts were telling them to run away. With Ying Yue behind him, Jianyu glares at the crown prince before speaking.
"What do you think you're doing to my empress?'
"Your empress? Ying Yue is to be wed as my wife. Now move it commoner."
"Commoner?"
Jianyu realizes his hair was still black. Without any hesitation, Jianyu removes the spell that he had placed on himself. Everyone watched in awe as his hair color changed to red. The handsome man was now even more enchanting. The emperor could only stare at what was happening with his jaw hanging. The crown prince furrows his brows and points to Jianyu's hair.
"You have an odd hair color for a human, commoner."
"Who said anything about being a human? Now, who was the one that harmed my empress?"
Jianyu removes his sword from it's scabbard and points it at the crown prince. Soon, Ying Yue and Jianyu found themselves surrounded by the royal guard army. More than one hundred men had them surrounded by now.
"Hah, come at me if you dare."
"No! Everyone please stop! We don't need this unnecessary bloodshed."
Ying Yue pleads with Jianyu to not start anything. With a deep sigh, Jianyu lowers his sword and looks to the crown prince again.
"I did not come to start a war, I merely came for my empress. If you let us go, there won't be any casualties."
"Stop calling her your wife! She's mine!"
"You're really starting to annoy me by calling her yours, human."
Just as Jianyu was about to charge at the crown prince, Ying Yue jumps in to stop him. Shaking her head, Ying Yue looks at Jianyu and tells him she's had enough and for them to just go home.
"What? No! I need to make them pay for hurting you."
"I'm fine now that you're here. Let's just return back to our home in your world, please."
"Sigh...consider yourself lucky human."
Jianyu was reluctant, but since it was a request from Ying Yue; Jianyu had no choice but to comply. Turning to face Ying Yue, Jianyu shoves his sword back inside its scabbard before motioning for Ying Yue to stay behind him as he chants the spell to create a portal back to the dragon world. Ying Yue turns to face the crown prince and bids him farewell.
"Crown prince Wang Yong, I am not the one destined for you. You have already met her and along the way lost sight of her. I hope you can forgive me for making you stray from that path."
"Ying Yue, do you think our lives would've been different if I had just believed you back then?"
"Maybe....no one knows the answer to that."
Soon a portal opened above Ying Yue and Jianyu. It had to be more than fifty feet high. Ying Yue turns to look at Jianyu and wonders what he was thinking, creating the portal so high up.
"Jianyu, why did you create it so high up?"
"Just a precaution, it still takes a few minutes for the portal to close on its own here in the human world after all.
"I guess that makes sense, but how are we going to get up there?"
"I'm glad you asked."
Ying Yue and everyone stared in amazement as they watched Jianyu transform into a red dragon that resembled a large and long serpent. Jianyu was larger in size than his mother from what Ying Yue remembered. Ying Yue could hear the citizens of Xin scream in excitement. Everyone, including the crown prince quickly fell to their knees and hailed Jianyu as a messenger of the heavens. The emperor quickly walks down from where he was standing and comes kneel down before Ying Yue.
"Ying Yue! You should've told us you knew the dragon emperor! Please tell him to release the curse placed on our land. Soon we will be nothing but barren lands at this rate!"
"After everything you put me through...why should I help you?"
"If not for my sake and the royal family, please think about your family and friends!"
Ying Yue knew the emperor had a point. She could easily forsake everyone and let them all perish, but she couldn't risk harming Bolin and Zhi Ruo them. With a deep sigh, Ying Yue motions for Jianyu to come down.
"What is it my empress?"
"Jianyu, how do we go about releasing the curse on the human land?'
"This curse was not placed by my father or me, but I can lift it if you want me to."
"Yes...please, although I don't care for the royal family anymore. I do care for the friends I will be leaving behind."
"Alright, leave it to me."
Jianyu flies to the sky and disappears within the clouds. No one knows where Jianyu went or what he had left to go do. Everyone only knew that when he descended back down, he brought rain clouds back with him. Jianyu descends down to where Ying Yue was and places out his hand for her to sit on.
"The human world should be fine now. Let's go before it rains Ying Yue."
"Wait!"
Quickly running to her mother, Ying Yue motions for her mother to come along.
"Mother come with me to the dragon world!"
"Ying Yue...I am not long for this world, what good would it do me by going there now?"
"Come with me mother and we'll find a cure for you! I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Although reluctant, madam Bai Shun also had nothing holding her back. Taking Ying Yue's hand, the mother and daughter was just about walk off when Ying Yue hears her father call out to her in the distance.
"Take care of yourself and your mother Ying Yue."
"I plan to, father. Although we never understood one another....I thank you for giving me life."
Ying Yue waves goodbye to Zhi Ruo and Bolin and hops onto Jianyu's hand along with her mother. Ying Yue turns to her friends and smiles. Getting just one last glance of her friends before Jianyu enters into the portal.
