[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]
[Episode 2]
To leave Tushan and get revenge for my parents,
I can make use of this
wolf spirit matter.
Fortunately, the Fox Spirit Academy
taught me a lot of tricks.
Today, I'll try the lowest-grade
disguise spell.
Although it's the lowest grade,
the disguise is quite good.
Liushang, Liushang!
Jiushuang?
Liushang.
Jiushuang, I went to see you just now.
Wuli said that
you went to ask the Second Chief for advice.
I've received my advice.
Liushang,
I know you haven't been
getting along with that human these years.
You lost a lot of fur because of him.
This is the black sesame pills
I got you from the market.
Jiushuang.
You're so nice to me.
I'm nice to you, right?
Liushang, I'm short of money lately.
As you know,
we female foxes use makeup a lot.
Those things are expensive.
I understand.
There are so many male foxes in Tushan.
I'm happy that you decided
to borrow money from me.
I knew it, you bald fox.
You're interested in Jiushuang.
Won't you hurry up and give it to me?
Okay.
Thank you!
You're not Jiushuang!
I didn't expect this fox to have so much private funds.
Yuechu!
It's me. What's wrong?
You're so dumb, baldie.
You can't even recognize the low-grade disguise spell
that Yaya taught you.
For the sake of the money,
I won't get back at you
for exposing me
in front of Yaya today.
You bastard!
How dare you fool me!
Yuechu.
Rongrong.
Why are you here?
I have something good for you.
Hand.
Money?
Where did you get so much of it?
I borrowed them.
I know you like money.
It's all for you.
You're usually so stingy.
Why are you so generous now?
Tell me, what do you want from me?
You're indeed the most intelligent one in Tushan.
You're smart.
Rongrong, I heard the wolf spirit
who went to collect the debt at the market died.
Can I take over?
I just came back from the mountain with Honghong
and you've already heard about it?
You are well informed.
Rongrong.
All these years in Tushan,
I've been diligent and loyal.
And I've been good at math since I was young.
I'm the best man for the job.
Don't even think about it.
This matter is up to Honghong to decide.
She won't let you go.
Can you not bother
Lady Fairy for such trivial matters?
You know Honghong is busy every day,
but you're still adding to her work.
Alright.
Anyway, don't think about
being the debt collector.
Give me back my money.
Give it back to me!
Speaking of money,
these are your expenses since you entered Tushan.
I've recorded them all here.
I've deducted the monthly salary you earned from your work.
Pay me the rest as soon as possible.
You're just like a Pixiu,
all you do is take.
Damn woman.
How dare you ambush us?
Let go of us!
You two withheld information,
left the Villa,
and stayed around Tushan for so many years.
You coveted the spiritual blood for selfish purposes
and almost ruined Master's plan.
This is the Sorrowful Tear he gifted you.
Sorrowful Tear?
Just drink it.
This
It's not necessary!
The Sorrowful Tear
needs the antidote every 7 days to stay dormant.
Once activated, it will corrode your organs
and you'll die from the pain.
This is the antidote for these seven days.
Master has ordered you two
to find a way to lure Dongfang Yuechu out.
If you dare to play tricks again,
even if you find the spiritual blood,
you won't be able to enjoy it.
Give it to me.
I'll go first.
Let me Don't spill it!
It won't spill.
Let me go first.
Jin Renfeng, that bastard.
I didn't expect that after all these years,
we still have to work for him in the end.
As long as we catch Dongfang Yuechu
and take the Dongfang Spiritual Blood,
even Jin Renfeng can't do anything to us.
Yes.
Dongfang Spiritual Blood.
Dark Force.
Why are these two powers mixed?
Lady Fairy.
Why are you here?
Lady Fairy.
I want to collect debts at the market.
You really want to go to the Demon Market?
I've calculated it carefully.
Based on my current salary in Tushan,
even if I work for another 50 years,
I can't repay my debt to Tushan.
Besides, the job of collecting the debt is vacant.
I can fill in for it
so that I can earn more money
and pay off the debts as soon as possible.
You just want to earn more money?
Lady Fairy,
besides making more money,
I have no other intentions.
Go if you want.
But I have to remind you.
Your Purest Sun Flame is weak.
Don't fight any battles
you cannot win.
Also,
the Heaven & Earth Thread is still in your body.
Don’t try to escape.
Lady Fairy,
don't worry.
Tushan is my second home.
I won't run away no matter what.
Everything is predestined.
Since you want to seek revenge from Jin Renfeng,
Tushan can follow the clues
and find out the mastermind.
May the Grief Tree bless me.
As long as I can find
the Marriage Herb that can increase the spiritual power of the Grief Tree,
I'll go back to Tushan immediately.
Crane, as you expected,
a fox is about to step out of the boundary.
Once we capture a spirit from Tushan,
we can use her to threaten them
to hand over Dongfang Yuechu.
Marriage Herb!
Little Fox, come with us.
We won't hurt you.
Tiger and crane, prepare to die!
Yuechu!
Leave.
But you
You go first.
Tiger.
What did she call him?
Yuechu!
You're that little bastard from back then,
Dongfang Yuechu?
God bless us.
It's working.
Yuechu.
You've grown so tall.
I can't even recognize you on the street.
Come on. Go back with Grandpa Crane.
Let's go.
Cut the crap, Tiger and Crane.
Today, I will avenge my dead parents!
How dare you
make trouble in Tushan?
Tu
Tu
You hurt the people of Tushan just now.
Chief,
that bastard is a human.
Need I explain anything to you?
If you do it again,
I'll kill you all.
Since you knew
Yuechu wanted revenge on the Tiger and Crane Immortals,
why did you send him to collect the debts?
This is
The person who killed Grey Wolf
had the aura of Dongfang Spiritual Blood.
Are you suspecting Yuechu?
No, that's impossible.
You put the Heaven & Earth Thread in his body.
If he stepped out of Tushan,
you'd definitely sense it.
Could it be him?
In this world, apart from Dongfang Yuechu,
only Jin Renfeng has Dongfang Spiritual Blood on him.
Since he also has the aura of Dark Force on him,
it means
he has something to do
with the person who corroded the Grief Tree.
So you took the risk and let Yuechu out of Tushan
to lure the fish to the bait.
Grey Wolf was the only outsider who could enter Tushan.
Jin Renfeng must have found out from him that
Yuechu is currently in Tushan.
He is a cunning person.
After what happened today,
he will surely take action in person.
That's why you sent Yaya down the mountain today.
It was to protect Yuechu, rught?
Since you already sent Yaya,
why did you follow him in secret?
Keep an eye on him when you have time too.
Honghong.
Something is fishy about you.
[Divine Flame Villa]
Master.
I’m sure the person
who fought the Tiger and Crane Immortals today
was Dongfang Yuechu.
What should we do next?
Keep an eye on the Tiger and Crane Immortals.
As long as they are alive,
Dongfang Yuechu
will come here himself.
You're right, Master.
May you catch Dongfang Yuechu soon
and get what you want.
This is the elixir for internal injuries.
Put it on my tab.
Do you really think your debt
is less than that kid?
-Yuechu.
-Yuechu.
What?
Here to take revenge on me?
How can you think that?
You are so righteous.
Why would we take revenge on you?
Yeah.
I thought you were a bad guy.
I always badmouthed you behind your back.
But after what happened this time,
you are as kind as us.
Yes.
Stop. Stop.
Just say it.
What are you doing here?
I brought you something good.
Look.
Jiushuang.
Have a seat.
I've kept this for years.
Do you usually read this?
It's very interesting.
I specially prepared this snack for you.
Try it.
Take a look.
So
you two are really here to make up?
I was at fault.
You saved Jiushuang this time.
You're my real brother from now on.
My brother's business is my business.
If you need help in the future,
just come to me.
Really?
Of course.
I'm not exaggerating.
I'm seriously injured.
Tomorrow morning,
I still have to wake up early and
Alright.
Leave it to me.
Just take care of yourself.
Ch-
-Chief.
-Chief.
Lady Fairy.
Yuechu,
we'll leave if there's nothing else.
We'll visit you another day.
Alright.
How's your injury?
Have a seat.
Here.
Have some snacks.
My injury just hurts.
It hurts so much.
This is the medicine Rongrong gave you.
It looks like good stuff.
Thank Rongrong for me.
Of course.
You treat me the nicest, Lady Fairy.
Am I nice to you?
Of course.
Why not?
You saved me when I was young
and took me in.
Although
you often scold me,
it is a sign that
you care about me.
Do you really think so?
Of course.
No matter what,
Tushan is just and fair.
You saved Jiushuang's life.
I owe you a favor.
It's not easy to
repay me.
What do you want?
You'll know in the future.
Take care of yourself.
You don't need to do chores these days.
Really?
What about the salary?
Paid as usual.
Wait for me!
A human?
A human.
This is
Why is a human here?
[Tushan Spirit Market]
Come again next time.
[Cow spirit - Mu Tong]
Sir, do you want to buy wine?
My wine is
A human?
Are you the human Grey Wolf mentioned
who lives in Tushan?
You're smart, aren't you?
Good guess.
From today onwards,
I'm the rent collector for this market.
I paid half a year's rent to the wolf spirit two days ago.
That was for last year.
You didn't pay a penny for this year's rent.
According to the rules,
don't we pay the rent at the end of the year?
That was the rule last year.
According to the rules this year, you have to pay now.
Okay
Why did it increase so much?
You have to pay as much as you earn now.
You pay more if you earn more.
Cut the crap.
Pay the rent now.
If you can't afford it,
move to another place.
I've heard of a place
with good business
and cheap rent.
Where?
The Human Market.
I once heard that
a spirit opened a shop in the Human Market.
They did pretty well.
Really?
Why would I lie to you?
But why am I telling you this?
How much you earn
has nothing to do with me.
Now you can tell me, right?
This Human Market
This kid
raised the rent by so much.
That's right.
Given how he's raising the rent,
within three months,
these stores will have to shut down.
What good will he get
pushing these people to a dead end?
All these years,
where did the spirits merchants
who can't afford the rent go to?
Some of them, after shutting down their business,
they went back to their hometown to hunt for a living.
Some went to Human Market secretly.
Human Market?
Looks like he wants to take the opportunity to go to the human race
to seek revenge for Tiger and Crane Immortals and Jin Renfeng.
[Zhiwei Restaurant]
This is a big order.
Are you taking it or not?
If you don't,
I'll have to find someone else.
Of course I'll take it.
This order
is worth a year's worth of my turnover.
That's right.
How can you make a fortune if you worry about everything?
This is the deposit of ten taels. Keep it well.
Are the people in Human Market
rich and dumb?
The rent is cheap on top of that.
Although the business here is good,
the rent has gone up a lot.
You work hard for a year
but you have to pay up everything you earned.
No one can stand it.
Don't say I don't take care of you.
This is a sesame pill to disperse your spiritual aura.
It can help you hide your spiritual aura
in Human Market.
Now everything is ready.
The God of Wealth,
will come knocking at the door too.
Indeed.
Looks like that human didn't lie to me indeed.
[Zhiwei Restaurant]
Well done.
This is an elixir that helps people cultivate from Tushan.
Humans kill spirits on sight.
With the help of this elixir,
it won't be a problem for you
to practice self-defense.
Thank you.
Who did you offend?
Why are you so badly injured?
Who is so cruel
to hurt you like this?
Humans.
How terrible of them.
Don't worry.
I will ask Rongrong to teach you the Thousand-Beauty Magic.
Your face will recover with it.
Aren't you afraid of me
because of how I look now?
What's there to be afraid of?
But why are you in Tushan?
I heard that it's safer in Tushan since
it doesn't allow humans to enter.
So
But isn't there a barrier outside of Tushan?
How did you get in?
I
I climbed up from the cliff behind the mountain.
No wonder your hand is all scratched up.
Don't worry.
In Tushan,
no human will bully you again.
What's your name?
I
don't have a name.
I see.
It must be because
your previous name given by a human,
so you don't want to say it, right?
How about this?
I'll give you a new name.
Let me think about it.
How about Guoguo?
Guoguo?
With my protection,
live a happy life in the future.
[Snow Fox
Guoguo]
It's all my fault.
I went too far chasing for rent,
causing Mutong to escape to Human Market.
With his escape,
not only can't we get the rent back,
it also brought bad influence to other spirit merchants in the market.
What's going on with the spirit merchants?
They are learning from Mutong,
making excuses to not pay rent.
So they can run away when the time is right.
So
the market management went wrong?
Which spirit merchant is tired of living?
How dare they owe us rent?
You're injured.
It wasn't me.
Don't worry.
I saved a wounded wild fox in the back mountain.
You have no idea how pitiful he is.
Ladies,
can we prioritize our issues?
Let's talk about Spirit Market first.
Brat,
how dare you say
I'm not proitizing our issues in front of my sisters?
How dare I?
You think too much.
How dare you say that?
If it weren't for you doing a bad job,
why would those spirit merchants
run away to Human Market?
So you mean
Tushan should indulge them and let them not pay the rent?
Then–
All right.
Stop arguing.
I have something to discuss with Rongrong.
You may leave now.
Okay.
In order to not make Yuechu suspicious
and make a trip to Human market,
you are doing everything you can.
Fortunately, he didn't realize that behind Mutong running away from the rent
is our push.
If he wants to lure Jin Renfeng to Human Market,
he'll surely let them know.
We just need to wait for him
to beg me to allow him to go to Human Market.
Jin Renfeng has always been sinister, cunning,
and unscrupulous.
In the past two years, he has been hiding in Divine Flame Villa
and rarely went out.
Only Dongfang Blood
can lure him out.
Why do you think
he's luring Jin Renfeng to Human Market?
Has he grown up?
And now understands
your thoughts?
That you don't want
Humans to start another war with the Spirit Clan,
nor get Tushan involved,
so he decided to go alone.
In the Dongfang family,
a woman's magical prowess is passed down by her blood.
Your mother's power
has been passed on to you.
That's why the divine flame is unstable, you know?
Mother, I was wrong.
When I learn Purest Sun Flame,
I will roast sweet potatoes for you and Dad.
Father, Mother.
I will avenge you soon.
You're smart.
You can master it in a blink of an eye.
But you need to practice this magic
diligently
to maintain a long-term effect.
Thank you, Rongrong.
Yaya.
I can't repay your kindness.
If you need anything in the future,
I'll do anything for you.
You're welcome.
Don't always think about repaying the kindness.
Just stay in Tushan.
My brain
You don't have a place to stay in Tushan yet.
Rongrong.
I'll leave where Guoguo stays at to you.
Well
It's not impossible.
It's just that the expenses
Take it from me.
I can just drink less.
It still won't be enough.
Then I'll take less salary.
More than half
of your salary is used
to pay back the debt you incurred from drinking wine.
What do you think we should do?
Yaya,
why don't you take the chance to quit drinking?
Rongrong!
Lady Fairy,
you should
smile more.
Don't always keep so many things in.
There are so many fox clans in Tushan.
You need to take care of the market below the mountain too.
Even I feel tired for you.
Then tell me
how to be a chief who is not tired?
It's simple.
Grasp the large and let the small go.
Grasp the large and let the small go?
For example,
leave minuscule tasks such as going to Human Market
to chase back the rent to me.
You want to go to Human Market?
I've thought about it.
Tushan and Humans have never interfered with each other.
If you or other foxes go there rashly,
it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Why don't you let me, a human
who grew up in Tushan do it
so we can solve it?
Looks like
you really care about Tushan.
Of course.
It's all for Lady Fairy and Tushan.
If you want to go to Human Market,
you have to pass me first.
What?
Lady Fairy!
Lady Fairy!
You can't use Purest Sun Flame.
You are
afraid that I'll use divine flame in front of the humans
and expose myself?
Right now,
you shouldn't let more humans know your identity.
From now on,
I'll teach you a complete set of exorcism.
Got it.
♫Longing dyes the old dream red♫
♫May the three realms' chaos end♫
♫You want to speak but stop yourself; leaving no conflicts♫
♫Who is wavering?♫
♫Daytime never comes and the stars disappear♫
♫My body is warm but I have nowhere to go♫
♫I've been regretting for too long, and the fates start entangling in Tushan♫
♫Hand in hand, we draw everything that happens♫
♫Light rain falls in the court♫
♫Tugging on the time space that transcends time♫
♫Life is like a dream♫
♫But I've been missing you for a long time♫
♫I have cried all my tears and feel empty♫
♫I have looked back for thousands of times in hundreds of ways♫
♫Dream that has been destroyed for eternity♫
♫I decided to forget everything♫
♫And exchange my past for the present and future♫
♫Who will stay under the Grief Tree?♫
♫The bit of love♫
♫Write that into sorrow♫
♫Between right and wrong♫
Lady Fairy!
♫Sword and revenge♫
It's ready.
♫Protecting the people♫
♫The first red flowers the white moon meets♫
♫Embracing across the skies and seas♫
♫With mountains and rivers between us♫
♫The ripples of the heart♫
Try it.
♫Make my heart tremble♫
How is it?
Not bad.
♫Who will stay under the Grief Tree?♫
This is the divine flame grilled sweet potatoes passed down from my ancestors.
♫The bit of love♫
No one in Tushan
♫Write that into sorrow♫
who can grill it better than me.
Lady Fairy.
♫Between right and wrong♫
Speaking of,
after I get the rent back from Human market,
♫Sword and revenge♫
♫Protecting the people♫
I'll buy some white lime
and glutinous rice.
♫The first red flowers the white moon meets♫
With some Yangtao Vine juice,
♫Embracing across the skies and seas♫
mixing them together,
♫With mountains and rivers between us♫
we can fix the eaves that leaked from the rain in Tushan.
♫The ripples of the heart♫
Repair the eaves?
When the thatching leaked when I was a child,
♫Make my heart tremble♫
that's how my father fixed it.
So could it be he didn't bring Jin Renfeng into Tushan
because Tushan already has a place in his heart?
So, Lady Fairy,
when can I go to Human Market to chase back the rent?
Go get the ledger from Rongrong.
Sure!
Lady Fairy,
I will definitely get everything back
for Tushan.
Baby, come out.
My precious Flower Wine.
I've been out for so many days. I miss you so much.
Why is it gone?
What are you doing?
C-Chief.
How did it go this time?
Don’t worry, Chief.
According to your instructions,
I've searched the other spritual realms.
There is no trace of the Dark Force around.
So,
the person behind this time
picked a human specifically.
You mean
this evil power
appeared on a human outside of Tushan
not out of coincidence
but that they are planning an even bigger conspiracy.
Do you remember what happened 700 years ago?
You mean
someone wants to create discord between the humans and Tushan?
How is that possible?
I hope I'm overthinking.
What should we do next?
These days,
I found that Dark Force
seems to be related to Jin Renfeng.
I've set a trap to lure him into Human Market.
That's the jurisdiction of the head of the Yiqi Alliance, Wangquan.
He should be restrained there.
Divine Flame Villa, Jin Renfeng.
Very well.
I'll go meet this Fire Immortal
with you.
Okay.
Speaking of which,
after the war between humans and spirits,
Tushan has cut ties with the humans.
You haven't stepped into
the human realm for 400 years, right?
Chief?
It’s late.
Rest early.
Okay.
If you want to drink,
go get some from Huguang Pavilion.
Thank you, Chief.
I shall take my leave.
The sweet potatoes look cooked,
but they are still raw.
What Purest Sun Flame?
It can't even cook sweet potatoes.
Wait a minute.
I'll heat it up for you.
I promise you'll enjoy the food.
You're going to Human Market for rent tomorrow.
Why are you still in the mood to roast chicken here?
Lady Fairy.
It's become a habit after so many years.
Besides, roasting a chicken is not difficult.
The divine fire is unstable.
Is something bothering you?
I'm just a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time I'm returning to the human realm after so long.
Let's not talk about me.
What about you?
Do you have something on your mind too?
Based on my understanding of you over so many years,
you are either training
or handling business at this hour.
You wouldn't have time to take a walk here.
Tell me
what you have on your mind.
It has nothing to do with you.
Of course it does.
I'm your sidekick!
Never mind.
Try it.
[Tushan]
Honghong.
Yaya.
The three of us were born from Grief Tree.
We have spirit power greater than the other foxes.
You're devoted to cultivation too.
All these years,
besides me,
you're the strongest in Tushan.
Honghong.
Why do you keep praising me these days?
You're making me embarrassed.
Having great spirit power is your strength,
but also your weakness.
Think about it.
Every time something happens,
you always want to deal with it with spirit power, right?
You're right.
We can't protect Tushan with only spirit power.
I understand, Honghong.
But with you and Rongrong here,
I can be impulsive.
These days,
I need to leave Tushan to deal with some matters.
Without me,
I'll leave Tushan to you.
Where are you going?
It doesn't matter.
What matters is that you can protect Tushan well
and I will have nothing to worry about.
Don't worry, Honghong.
I will think before I do anything.
I won't fight if I can.
I will work together with Rongrong to protect Tushan.
Go ahead.
[Tushan]
