Why are you so slow?

Come on, try to catch up!

We're not going to race you.

You practiced martial arts,

how can we catch up?

Come! Try to catch up, hurry!

Why aren't you smiling?

What are you looking at?

Xiao Yanzi, look.

That's the palace!

Yeah, that's the palace.

Everyone in Beijing
knows that's the palace.

What's so special about it?

Have you not heard
the lyrics in "Dragon And Phoenix"?

♪ There is a big circle in Beijing ♪

♪ And there is a round circle
within the big circle ♪

♪ There is another yellow circle
within the round circle ♪

♪ We are now standing
in the yellow circle ♪

I want to...

I really want to...

Want to what?

I want to walk into
that yellow circle.

What? Go in?

Are you crazy?

That place is a place
that we can never enter!

But...

Miss.

Didn't madam say...

to only tell others bits and pieces,

and never give them all your heart?

Why are you being so secretive?

What bits and pieces?
what hard and soft?

I hate it when you
whisper in front of me!

Lately, we've been together all day.

Yet you still treat
me like an outsider?

I'm so mad!

That's right.

We are close like limbs to a body.

I shouldn't have
treated you like an outsider.

You are a god-sent blessing.

Limbs and body?

Can you stop not talk in riddles?

What I meant was
that we are like sisters now.

Then, what are we waiting for?

Let's become sworn sisters, okay?

Okay?

- Okay.
- Let's go!

Jade Emperor of the heavens
and Yama of the earth,

as well as Liu Qing,
Liu Hong, Jinsuo,

and everyone else who can
and cannot see us.

As well as cats, dogs,
birds, crickets, rats,

all insects and animals,

as well as flowers, trees,
clouds, the moon,

you are all my witnesses.

Today, I, Xiao Yanzi will be
sworn sisters with Xia Ziwei.

From today onward,
we will enjoy good food together,

share nice clothes with each other,

just like biological sisters.

If I ever break my oath,

I shall be cursed to death
with my limbs torn apart.

Ziwei, your turn.

To the azure sky above
and the ground below,

I, Xia Ziwei and Xiao Yanzi...

Xiao Yanzi, what is your surname?

When I was young,
I was taken in by a nunnery.

My master said that my
surname was Jiang.

But she wasn't sure.

I don't know what is
my actual surname.

How old are you? When were you born?

I only know that I was
born in the Renxu year.

As for the month, I'm not sure.

I was born in the Renxu year too.

I was born on day 2
of the eight month.

Then, between the both of us,
who shall be the older and younger?

Of course I'm older
and you're younger!

If you were born on day 2
of the eight month.

Then, my birthday shall be
day 1 of the eight month.

Can you do that?

Of course!
God doesn't care about particulars.

That's right.

It doesn't matter who's older.

What's important is your sincerity.

You just have to be genuine.

Of course.

I have decided.

I was born on day 1
of the eight month.

To the heavenly skies above
and the ground below,

I, Xia Ziwei, and Xiao Yanzi have
agreed to become sworn sisters.

From now onward, we will be
together for better or for worse,

to help each other when in need,
and to share our joy together.

No matter what our fate holds,

the challenges that may come,

we will never give up on each other.

If I break this oath,
I shall be punished by the gods.

Great!

Congratulations!

I will now serve two misses!

Don't call me miss.

I'll never change
no matter who I become.

Xiao Yanzi will always
be Xiao Yanzi, right?

That's right!

Don't call me miss, okay?

Come.

Let us toast in the
name of these sisters!

Drink up!

Drink up, drink up!
