INT - NIGHTTIME - SHUIYUNTIAN/HAOTIAN TOWER CHARACTERS: DONGFANG QINGCANG (ESTHER YU), XIAOLANHUA (DYLAN WANG)
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 lowers his hand.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 falls to the ground from mid-air, only then seeing the other person's face clearly, and is immediately horrified—it is indeed Xiaolanhua's own face, but the eyes and expression are gloomy, terrifying, and murderous, completely different from the usually innocent and cute Xiaolanhua.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: Ah?! You…how can you look exactly like me? (Suddenly realizing it's a male voice) I…how could I…
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 reaches out to touch her own face, finding it is also a man's face.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 takes two steps back, pointing at [Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)] in horror. 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 sees such a disheveled expression on his face, and the corners of her mouth twitch involuntarily.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (In horror) You…me? Us? This, this…what is going on?
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 raises an eyebrow, displeased and dissatisfied, upon hearing Xiaolanhua's shrieks.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Impatiently) For some reason, we've swapped bodies.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Slowly calming down) So, I'm in your body now…you (Pointing at the other) are in my body?
△ As she speaks, 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 looks at the man's large, bony hands, then touches her own flat chest, and pinches her waist and thighs.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: So hard.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 frowns, revealing murderous intent.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Put your hands down, or don't blame me for being impolite.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: So petty! I only touched you, what's wrong with that? You're a grown man, are you afraid of being touched…? (Pauses, expression strange) Hey, where do you think I was going to touch? Disgusting! You're so filthy!
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (With a hint of eeriness incongruous with her appearance, she gives a mocking smile) A female Fairy who can utter such words can't be pure either.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 snorts and reluctantly lowers her hand.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: So, what do we do now?
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 steps forward and takes 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】's hand, pointing to the Haotian Formation at the top of the tower.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: See that "Haotian Formation"? That's the exit. Right now, you're inside my body, possessing boundless magical power. As long as you cast the spell to break the "Haotian Formation," you can shatter the seal and we can leave the tower. Once out of this place, there will be ways to change back.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 feels increasingly uneasy and shakes off her hand, and looking contemplatively at the "Haotian Formation."
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Pressing her temples) Wait, the Haotian Formation… I remember now, this is the Haotian Tower! You're an immortal criminal imprisoned here, trying to trick me into letting you out!
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】's eyes instantly turn cold.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: You dare compare me to those trash? My patience is limited. Quickly shatter that damned Haotian Formation for me, or I'll kill you right now!
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Becoming calm, composure returning) A mere immortal criminal, yet you keep calling yourself "this one," very arrogant indeed. So what if your magic power is a little higher than mine? Anyone in Shuiyuntian is stronger than me; it's not even a big deal. (Eyes dart around) Besides, did you forget that we've switched bodies now? This is your body. If you kill me, we can just die together. (While speaking, she cranes her neck forward) Come on, then.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 pauses slightly.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Your reminder is timely.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 grins wickedly, grabs the hair that is draped behind him, and before 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 can react, his fingers move. The waist-length hair is cut off in a flash.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 stares at 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】, his whole body stiffening.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Stomping his foot) My hair!
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 plays with the severed hair in his hand for a moment.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Not very bright, but has quite a lot of hair.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 then casually tosses the severed long hair aside, tugs at the now short, ear-length black hair, and sneers.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Don't forget, "you" (emphasis) are in my hands now too.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 stares blankly at the hair on the ground, then suddenly looks up, glaring fiercely at [Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Shouting angrily) I'm not finished with you!
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 also reaches behind her and grabs a head of long silver hair. Mimicking 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】's pose in a convincing manner, her fingers move slightly…
△ The long silver hair does not budge.
△ An awkward silence ensues for a few seconds.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Smugly) If you want to cut off my hair, you'll have to cultivate for another ten thousand years.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Gritting her teeth) I don't believe it!
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 curls two or three strands of hair with her fingers and pulls hard, ripping the hair out by the root, causing her to shudder in pain.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 stiffens, smile fading slightly.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】, enduring the pain, mimics 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】's expression, grinning maliciously.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: Hmph, today I'll turn you bald.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (His face darkens) Stop!
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 ignores him, glaring defiantly at 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】, and pulls out four or five more strands of hair, wincing in pain at the same time.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: If you dare be so insolent again, I'll dislocate your arm.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Somewhat nervous, but unwilling to back down) Then, then I'll cut your throat!
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Still daring to spout nonsense? You must not want your tongue anymore.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: Fine! If you do anything to my tongue, I'll… (stumbles, grits her teeth fiercely) implode my spiritual power and destroy your immortal root!
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: You dare!
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (furious) What wouldn't I dare! Anyway, my immortal root is already ruined, so I might as well go all out, and I'm not afraid of you!
△ After such a harsh threat, both fall silent, glaring at each other for a long time without blinking. Finally, 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】's eyes ache from staring. She lowers her eyes and blinks twice, and then she sees a pile of severed hair on the ground.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 squats down to pick it up, feeling extremely sad and wronged. She sniffles, huddling up with her knees, and begins to cry.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Sobbing) My hair, which I've kept for a thousand years, is all gone…
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 watches as "himself" curls up in a ball, his once deep and magnetic voice now emitting muffled sobs, completely losing his composure. He is utterly speechless.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Stiffly) Don't cry.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 ignores him, crying and talking to herself.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Intermittently) Waaah… It's all gone… My braid is gone, and I can't wear my hairpin anymore. For the rest of my life, I'll be trapped in your body, you wretched, immortal criminal. My chance to take the Fairy Examination is also gone… I can never go back to the Arbiter Hall. I'm not even 1500 years old yet, still so young, why is my life so miserable…? (Sobs louder and louder)
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 finds the sobs coming from his throat unbearable, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, extremely irritated.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Get up!
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Raises her head, tears and snot streaming down her face) Give me back my hair!
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Get up first!
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: Give me back my hair first!
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 snaps his wrist, and all the severed hair on the ground flies up, each strand precisely reattached. In an instant, his long hair cascades down, perfectly intact.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: It's done, get up!
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 stares blankly at her newly repaired hair, her sobs abruptly ceasing.
△ 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 glances at Xiaolanhua with disdain.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Clean your face.
△ Now that her hair is repaired, 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 is no longer sad, and uses her sleeve to wipe the snot and tears from her face.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: You are the first person in history to make me submit to threats.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: You are also the first person in history to make me cry like a man. I don't want to stay in this broken body of yours for another second! That Haotian Formation, I'll shatter it for you to see! Let's get out of here quickly and find a way to switch back! The sooner the better!
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Glancing at her disdainfully, mockingly) The people of the Heavenly Realm always pride themselves on being high and mighty, but when it comes down to it, they only care about themselves and still have to destroy this seal for me.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Convincing herself) Anyway, I'm just an orchid. If even a blade of grass has to consider these things, then what are those celestial soldiers, generals, and Heavenly Emperor supposed to do? My master said, stealing someone's livelihood is like killing their mother; this kind of thing should not be done, should not be done.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Looking at her with interest) Little Flower Spirit, you do have some potential to become a Demon.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Head held high, shoving 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 aside) You, get out of the way.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 faces the Haotian Formation, striking a pose with great seriousness.
△ After a few breaths, despite 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】's best efforts to control her inner powers, she only manages to gather a few feeble sparks at her fingertips.
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Somewhat anxious, her momentum weakening) I… I don't know how to use this body of yours.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: (Gritting her teeth) How can there be such a stupid person in the world!
【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】: (Retorting) Then do you have a way? You only know how to order people around.
【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】: Fine, I really can't count on you, you piece of trash. (Pacing back and forth, deep in thought) Everything has a cause and effect. You and I must have done something to cause this body swap. Now, if we recreate our actions before the swap, maybe we can switch back.
△ Speaking of, 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 suddenly remembers the kiss before the swap.
△ 【INS: S1-31】 Xiaolanhua and Dongfang Qingcang's awakening kiss of the sleeping beauty.
△ 【Xiaolanhua (Dylan)】 blushes, glancing at 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】 with a flustered and embarrassed expression. 【Dongfang Qingcang (Esther)】, however, remains completely businesslike, her face calm and composed. The two look at each other.
