Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]
[Episode 7]
This muscular body
You're indeed worthy of being the princess' personal spirit guard.
You're so majestic and imposing.
I have the best Chunlin wine here.
Do you want to try it?
We'll do it secretly. They wouldn't know.
You don't drink?
It's a good habit.
Good habit indeed.
Brother,
since you spend so much time with the princess,
do you know
what was the gift she came all the way to Tushan,
just to give to our Chief?
Tell me something.
Are you serious about getting attached to a spirit?
I've made up my mind.
I know
Tushan has never dealt with the human race before.
If it weren't for the fact that
the white epiphyllum has gone extinct over the past few centuries,
you wouldn't be asking me,
a human, for the flower either.
But regardless, I hope you can keep your promise, Chief.
Please let me and Shi Kuan get attached under the Grief Tree.
The person you like is Guard Shi?
Chief, you must be surprised.
Actually, I didn’t expect it either.
Kuan was the spirit guard Father assigned to me.
But we played and grew up together.
Wherever I go,
he would be by my side.
Until one day,
I almost lost him.
When I saw him fall into my arms,
at that moment, I felt
an unprecedented fear.
Only then I realized
I've already regarded him
as the most important person in my life.
I've already fallen in love with him.
Does Guard Shi know
about your feelings for him?
My father would never let me fall in love with Shi Kuan.
If others ever sense something is wrong,
it'll be disastrous to Shi Kuan and his mother.
I don’t want to give him pressure.
So does Guard Shi also like you?
Although he has never admitted it,
I know he likes me too.
I believe the Grief Tree
will definitely feel our love.
I know humans and spirits don't have the same lifespan.
I just ask for the Grief Tree to witness our love.
I hope the Grief Tree
can feel our love,
and help us
overcome obstacles
to be together.
Chief, I hope you can help me.
You don't have to do this.
Please have a seat.
I don't mean to refuse.
It's just that
there has never been an instance where
a human tries to get attached to a spirit in front of the Grief Tree.
Hence, even I'm not sure
what will happen after a human gets attached to a spirit.
Perhaps, it may disappoint you.
If there had never been a human-spirit relationship before,
I'm willing to take this path that no one has ever walked.
I'm willing to do whatever it takes, even if it's hard.
No matter what,
I'm willing to give it a try.
I believe you'll understand me.
Otherwise, in the past few hundred years,
you wouldn't have persevered
on your search for white epiphyllum.
You even went out of your way to ask me, a human, for this flower.
The fragrance of the white epiphyllum lasts forever.
I hope this flower can fulfill your wish, Chief.
I still haven’t figured out what
what Lady Fairy went to the Spirit-Master Kingdom to ask for.
That spirit guard was so stubborn.
Even Chunlin wine from the old fox couldn't buy him over.
I was about to go out,
and I couldn't find my dearest Chunlin wine.
So you were the one who stole it.
Old fox.
You almost killed me before.
What's wrong with stealing some of your wine?
Let alone your stealing wine,
even if I destroyed your fox nest,
you should also
Stop drinking.
Even then, you can't be stealing my wine!
Little rascal.
Were you the one who stole all the Chunlin wine
which had went missing previously?
So what if did?
So what if I didn't?
So that means you stole it.
In that case,
don't blame me for being rude.
I I
Jiaojiao!
I will beat you to death!
-Stop!
-Jiaojiao.
You are so mean!
What did you say?
Say it again!
Jiaojiao, I wouldn't dare to say a thing when you are so fierce.
I want you to say it.
Alright, enough.
Elder, Elder.
I was wrong. I was wrong.
Give it to me.
You can have it.
You have to answer one question first.
What is it?
What did the Spirit-Master Kingdom give Lady Fairy
on their trip to Tushan this time?
You don't know?
That's fine too.
It has nothing to do with you anyway.
Give it to me.
S-Slow down.
It's all because of your Dongfang family.
All of you are so difficult to deal with.
The Spirit-Master Kingdom's princess traveled for thousands of miles just to give the white epiphyllum flower.
She must be wanting to use this flower
to nourish the soul of Dongfang Luo.
Dongfang Luo?
Let me tell you.
Six petals of the white epiphyllum can preserve the soul of a human.
When Dongfang Luo was in danger,
Chief protected his soul with this very flower,
and placed it within the white epiphyllum formation at the Twin Peaks.
This flower withers once every century.
Chief has taken great pains
to replace the flower every century,
just to protect his soul.
When the time is right, she'll then call him back.
Dongfang Luo?
Soul?
[Tushan Double Peak]
This black fog is extremely negative and evil.
It can be resisted with Purest Sun Flame.
Amplify the Divine Flame.
Your Purest Sun Flame has broken through the second level.
Is he the old friend you saw in your dream?
Oh no.
Lady Fairy, don't.
You have yet to fully recover.
If you use so much of your power,
it will definitely hurt your body.
The white epiphyllum is already destroyed.
If we don't protect him with spirit power,
his soul will be burnt to ashes.
Yuechu!
Yuechu.
Why are you doing this?
Do you know that
although the human breathe can protect the soul,
as time passes,
the soul will consume your qi and blood,
and hurt the body which is nursing it.
It doesn't matter.
Have you forgotten that I've always been your sidekick?
I should do my best
to protect you
and make you happy.
Since you care so much about this soul,
I should protect it for you.
Yuechu.
It's okay.
I have Purest Sun Flame protecting me.
This little bit of qi and blood is nothing to me.
But exactly who touched this
white epiphyllum?
The outer shell is crispy while the filling is runny.
I didn't expect the black sesame pills in the Spirit Market
to be so delicious and interesting.
Kuan, try some.
I dare not.
If you like it,
I'll be happy just by seeing you eat.
This is an order.
How is it? Is it delicious?
Your Highness,
it's very delicious.
Let's go. Hurry up.
There won't be any left if we're late.
Time to see the laterns!
Don't go alone.
Wait for us.
Wait for us.
Slow down.
Are you envious?
Actually, this is what spirits should look like.
The Spirit-Master Kingdom is truly not a great place to be.
There are good people in the Spirit-Master Kingdom too.
I came to Tushan to seek marriage.
Aren't you curious about who I like?
If you wanted to tell me,
you would have told me.
Regardless of who you like,
I will always protect you.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You're too harsh.
Shi Kuan and I have been living in the Spirit-Master Kingdom for a long time.
And now, we get to enjoy the views of Tushan.
Get lost!
You must give us an explanation!
After we capture Spirit-Master Kingdom's princess,
I'll eat her up as an appetizer.
Shan, you're awesome!
Awesome!
Shall we eat something?
Let's eat first.
Eat first?
Let's go!
Let's go!
I'm sure I'm the cause of the commotion again.
Don't worry.
If Tushan can't even solve such a trivial matter,
how dare we make a promise?
The both of you,
please.
Flowers for sale!
What kind of trouble can a small gangster
like Chi Shan cause?
As the deputy chief of Tushan,
I can take care of him with a flick of my finger.
So confident?
I heard that the original form of Chi Shan
is a fire dragon.
He might be somebody afterall.
Don't you dare put down others to make yourself look good.
What fire dragon?
It's just a small snake
which has yet to fully evolve.
Just judging by size,
you're already on the losing end.
If you can't handle him,
remember to inform me.
I'll help you.
What a joke.
Me begging you?
You'd better get behind me.
I, Tushan Yaya,
beat up tigers in the south with my fists,
and kicked the evil dragon in the north.
I have more than what it takes
to deal with such a tiny snake.
Shan,
is this your first time here at the Spirit Market?
The deputy chief of Tushan?
L-Let me tell you.
Don't try to be friendly with me.
Hand over the Spirit-Master Kingdom's princess,
and I'll spare Tushan's life.
That's a big statement and temper.
But are you sure you are confident of
fighting against Tushan on your own?
Who said I'm alone?
My brothers are all outside Tushan.
If you don't hand her over,
I'll destroy Tushan in no time.
Okay.
You're a frank and straightforward spirit.
I, Tushan Yaya, have made you my friend.
How about this?
Let's discuss.
About what?
Waiter, serve some dishes with more wine.
Let's give Shan a jug of
our famous tipsy brew.
Okay.
Good food goes with good wine.
Only then you'd have made the trip worth, right?
I know the Grief Tree has never matchmade between humans and spirits.
But true love knows no boundaries.
Since the Grief Tree is a sacred tree,
it can definitely see through our differences as human and spirit,
and feel our love.
Previously,
whenever a spirit couple makes a pact under the Grief Tree,
and if they truly love each other,
the Grief Tree will feel their sincerity,
and give its blessings within a few days.
And the vixens of Tushan
will also carry out the mission of
clearing obstacles in their relationship
to help them get together.
So if humans and spirits
also truly love each other,
can the vixens of Tushan
help them overcome obstacles and stay together?
As long as it's the love recognized by the Grief Tree,
Tushan will do our best to help.
It's just that
there is no precedent for a human-spirit relationship in Tushan.
Even as the chief,
I'm not confident
nor can I guarantee that the Grief Tree
will bless your relationship.
Thank you for your careful arrangement.
Even if it's a one-in-a-million chance,
I'd like to give it a shot.
Although my lover
doesn't know of my feelings,
but I really love him.
My only wish is to be with him forever.
I hope the Grief Tree
can bless us with a Feathered Flower,
Especially on the account that there was once me,
♫When my gaze passes through the long night♫
who had loved him so deeply.
♫The cold moonlight freezes your vow♫
♫I've waited till the stars went out♫
♫Until the snowstorm rages on♫
Love is deeply connected.
Please make a wish sincerely.
♫Previous destinies remain in our previous lives♫
♫Who can hear your breath♫
♫As you pour out your thoughts♫
♫It's my longing♫
♫Who can hear your fingertips♫
♫It's passion that rings♫
Dear Grief Tree,
I'm human and he's a spirit.
♫That's my heartstrings going round♫
We're doomed to be obstructed by the ways of the world.
If we can't be together in this life,
♫Strumming out tears♫
but our love for each other remains undying,
♫Flying past you in a flurry♫
then please bless us,
break through obstacles
We'll be together forever
♫Who can hear my gaze♫
♫Speaking about love♫
Dear Grief Tree,
♫Silently yearning♫
I'm willing to give up my spirit power in exchange for
♫Who can hear my world♫
Regardless of who you like,
♫The world has collapsed♫
regardless of who she loves.
No matter when,
♫That's my world roaring like thunder♫
no matter where,
I will carry with me my love for Her Highness,
♫As I run towards you♫
and protect her
♫I missed you silently for a moment♫
forever and ever.
♫Listen, the wind is blowing, and it's raining lovesickness♫
♫As memories pour from the sky♫
♫It's an inch of my life, an inch of my heart♫
♫It's my unresolved woe♫
Do you pledge to keep your promise?
♫Listen♫
♫The wind blows and makes my heart flutter♫
♫But it's using falling leaves to prepare for this life's parting♫
♫Love and hate are related to you♫
♫Our meeting was not in vain♫
I do.
I do.
Lady Fairy,
are you just like Bu Tai?
Waiting for a hundred years after another hundred years,
and never giving up
just for that small possibility,
What kind of butterfly is this?
So beautiful.
This is the spiritual butterfly of Tushan.
It's an ancient spirit insect used to pass messages.
Then it's a good thing.
Do you want to know what it said?
What did it say?
It said,
"It seems like there are just
about six or seven people in total."
Nonsense!
You used poison?
If we could save some of our energy
when dealing with these evil spirits, we should.
As long as it works.
That's true.
But what kind of powerful poison is that?
It's a secret.
Someone tampered with the white epiphyllum?
I'm only telling you now
because I don't want to affect your matchmaking.
How could it be?
I had purposely set
seals and charms around the flower.
I've been carrying it with me all the way.
No one could approach it.
In that case,
it means that they must have touched
the white epiphyllum back in Spirit-Master Kingdom.
That's impossible too.
The white epiphyllum is the royal flower of the Spirit-Master Kingdom's imperial household.
It only exists within the palace.
There are even dedicated caretakers looking after it.
No ordinary man can get close enough to it.
If this person is from within the palace,
or has extraordinary spirit power,
it is possible to get close to the white epiphyllum without a sound.
Either way,
it means something is going on within the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
Let me escort the princess back to our kingdom.
Your Highness, don't worry.
The fact that this person only dared to destroy the flower in secret,
means that
he is not powerful enough to fight against Spirit-Master Kingdom directly.
Chief, do you mean
Chi Shan is causing trouble in Tushan.
This means someone wants to use him
to stop you from returning to Spirit-Master Kingdom as planned.
Then my father
Your Highness, don't worry.
I will escort you back as soon as possible.
Lady Fairy,
I know my way around Tushan.
Let me send you two out of Tushan,
and back to Spirit-Master Kingdom.
Don't worry.
The current me
is not the same as the Yuechu
who could only take beatings at the Human Market.
Moreover,
the Spirit-Master Kingdom has always been enemies with the spirit clan.
If we send other spirits,
it might cause more trouble instead.
Your Highness,
please wait a moment.
Follow me.
Lady Fairy.
Within the Spirit-Master Kingdom,
the conflict between the human race and the spirit clan has been intensified.
Additionally, someone is trying to sow discord.
You must be careful on this trip.
Don't worry.
Lady Fairy.
Before I make my way to Spirit-Master Kingdom and meet up with you,
this Heaven & Earth Thread that has my breath
can help you to get out of trouble.
When I'm not around,
please take care of yourself.
It'll be a dangerous trip.
Remember to keep me posted.
I'll be off.
Gujin.
How dare you stop the Princess' carriage?
The human race of the Spirit-Master Kingdom has been bullying us for hundreds of years.
[Spirit-Master Kingdom's spirit slave, Gujin]
Now, it's finally our chance to become masters.
Shi Kuan, move!
I don't care what you want to do.
But if you want to endanger Her Highness
You shall not.
As spirits,
I don't want to kill each other.
Step aside.
You wouldn't?
Then don't blame me
for disregarding our friendship of hundreds of years.
The princess is missing!
The are much fewer spirit slaves on the streets now.
As Chief had expected,
there has been a change in the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
Let's go to the palace and meet your father first.
Where's Bu Tai?
Gujin.
It's not too late to turn back.
Turn back?
Shi Kuan.
It won't take you long
before you're with us.
Let's go.
Mu Xi, did you really asked us here
just for us to drink yoghurt?
It's creamy, rich and has many fruity bits.
It tastes really good.
This yoghurt will surely be a bestseller across the spirit clan.
So,
isn't it time to raise your rent?
No way.
Seven-colored Luminance?
The direction in which the Feathered Flowers are scattered
is Sister's Huguang Pavilion.
Go check it out.
The Chief of Tushan
[Bu Tai, Shi Kuan]
has never personally executed a matchmaking mission.
This is really strange.
The Grief Tree not only
gave you a divine mission,
it even arranged such a strange task.
Maybe, it's the Grief Tree's method of self-rescue.
If Honghong completes the task,
not only the Grief Tree,
but Honghong may also gain a powerful force of love
to save herself.
Love between a human and spirit is fraught with challenges.
But if they indeed get attached,
their love must be very strong.
Perhaps that's why the Grief Tree gave such a difficult mission
to you, Sister.
No matter what,
Tushan needs to protect this relationship.
I'll go to the Spirit-Master Kingdom now.
It's too dangerous to go there now.
Yaya.
The divine mission is no trivial matter.
If it's not completed,
not only the Grief Tree,
but the entire Tushan will be implicated.
Why don't I go with you?
No.
The Elder is not here now.
We need someone to guard Tushan,
in case someone tries to take advantage of us.
What about you?
Sister.
It's reasonable for Yaya to worry.
You have yet to fully recover.
It's really not a good idea to venture out on your own.
In my opinion,
if you must go,
why don't you bring some men with you?
Besides Yaya,
there's no shortage of foxes in Tushan who have spirit powers.
Lai.
Let Lai go with you.
Although his power is a bit weak,
he's pretty good with poison.
In case of danger,
you could use poison to buy time.
I'm sure he can run away with you.
Stop!
Your Highness!
Elder Xu.
Your Highness?
Greetings, Your Highness.
You’re finally back.
[Elder of Spirit-Master Kingdom, Xu Yi]
Where is Guard Shi?
Why isn't he escorting you?
Who is this?
I'm Yuechu.
Tushan sent me to escort Her Highness.
As for Guard Shi, he will be here soon.
Tushan?
Your Highness.
Elder Xu, I'll explain later.
Where is my father?
The medicine just now
Ever since you left,
His Majesty has been suffering from a sudden, acute illness.
The imperial physicians couldn't find the cause either.
Your Highness, you should go in now.
His Majesty has been waiting for you.
Mr. Yuechu, please wait.
Her Highness and His Majesty share a deep bond.
We shouldn't disturb them as outsiders.
You're right.
Thank you for reminding me.
Goodbye.
[King of Spirit-Master Kingdom]
Father.
Father.
I'm unfilial.
I failed to return in time.
How did you get so ill, Father?
Life and death are predestined.
No one could've predicted this.
Bu Tai.
My days are numbered.
Recently,
I've gathered
the Mother Talisman of all spirit slaves in the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
You must keep it safe.
Without the talisman,
the spirits
would definitely gather and rebel.
By then,
the situation will be out of control.
The country will be destroyed.
Don't worry, Father.
I, Bu Tai,
will do my best to protect the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
Good girl.
I know that
although you look weak,
but you are the strongest and most decisive.
The Spirit-Master Kingdom
is now in your hands.
In the future,
I can no longer protect you.
You must
live well on your own.
[Spirit-Master Kingdom]
It's all my fault.
I failed to protect you.
I failed to protect His Majesty.
Your Highness,
it's getting late.
Let me take you back to your chamber.
There are many matters waiting for you to settle.
As long as you get the Mother Talisman,
all the spirits in the city
will be at your bidding.
By then, taking down the Spirit-Master Kingdom
and killing Tushan Honghong,
will be no effort at all.
After I kill Tushan Honghong,
Dongfang Yuechu will naturally be yours.
Thank you, Spirit Lord.
The imperial family of the Spirit-Master Kingdom
belong to the same Yiqi Alliance as your Divine Flame Villa.
Previously, I asked you to win over the power of
Yiqi Alliance within the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
How's that coming along?
The critical points
have been taken care of.
Disciples of Yiqi Alliance
are used to killing spirits.
Who are they used to killing?
Spirit Lord, please calm down.
Forgive me for saying too much.
You did well at the last matchmaking event.
This time,
don't met me down.
Don't worry, Spirit Lord.
If it weren't for you
teaching the drug tester how to purify spiritual blood,
I wouldn't have made it to today.
I'll follow you to the end.
I will do anything for you.
As long as you remember.
There are so many spirit slaves in the Spirit-Master Kingdom
who are being bullied and tortured every day.
They have hated the human race for a long time.
I just have to provoke them slightly,
and I'll be able to use them.
Let's tear up the human race and Tushan.
And also the hatred
within these spirit slaves.
I see you've got
a good understanding now.
You're using the power of the bystanders' resentment.
Not only me, but for you,
maintaining the strong hatred of these spirits
can also quickly increase your cultivation.
When my cultivation returns to its peak,
together with the hatred I've absorbed,
the great task of unifying the six realms
will be achieved soon.
