Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact (2024) s01e09 Episode Script
Episode 9
[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]
[Episode 9]
Say it again.
Spirit Lord.
Can you free us from our Mother Talismans?
Sure.
Come here.
Go.
Run!
Tushan Honghong.
It's your fault that these spirits were killed by humans.
Lai looked into it
and circled the names of those he found suspicious.
Further investigation is needed.
Thank you, Chief.
Without Tushan's help,
the truth about my father's poisoning
could never be revealed.
You're welcome, Your Highness.
Gujin is the head of spirit slaves.
He's close to Spirit Lord.
Yuechu has been following him secretly.
If everything goes well,
we'll soon find Spirit Lord's hideout.
That's great.
Your Highness,
I heard that Shi Kuan
is the most powerful spirit in the city.
Can you ask him to join the fight?
Of course.
But…
Has Shi Kuan lost his Mother Talisman too?
Humans are mean and cruel.
Without Mother Talismans,
they use magic tools to kill and threaten us.
They want to force us into submission
and enslave us again.
Enslaving us again
is no different from killing us!
We'd rather die than be slaves again!
Yes, we'd rather die than be slaves!
The Spirit-Master Kingdom has only 20,000 humans
but 100,000 spirits.
As long as you join forces with more of your kind
to fight back,
before long,
you can take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
[Spirit-Master Kingdom]
Are you okay?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine.
It's the Spirit-Master Kingdom after all.
Spirits are not well treated here.
Yeah.
Its name alone, the Spirit-Master Kingdom,
makes me sick.
I have to help Honghong,
or I wouldn't have come to this dump.
Take a look.
Sir, this way.
On Life Island, there are indeed signs of a fox spirit's soul being restored.
Whether it's Shi Ji or not,
I need more time to find it out.
A fox spirit?
Is it really Shi Ji?
Have you taken care of the spirit slave in the prison?
It's Elder Xu.
Spirit Lord,
recently,
Bu Tai seems to have noticed that the Mother Talismans were stolen
and has been secretly trying to find the mole.
I don't want to alert her,
so I haven't taken action yet.
Useless!
If Bu Tai is in your way,
just kill her.
I'm warning you.
If you fail me again,
you'll end up like those spirit slaves.
Yes.
Xu Yi?
You…
You've been lying to us.
I didn't lie.
I indeed want to build a world ruled by spirits.
You're just necessary sacrifices.
S-Sacrifices?
Oh, you've got a tail.
You're the female spirit who instigated spirits to rebel?
Who are you?
Why did you follow Gujin?
He's Dongfang Yuechu, the guy I've been looking for.
The Heaven & Earth Thread?
Tushan Honghong,
I didn't expect you
to prepare such a big gift for me.
Have you kept in mind
everything I said on the road?
Rest assured.
I'll keep Princess Bu Tai safe.
But Honghong,
can you assign Lai
another task?
I really don't want to work with him.
Why do you hate the Poison Boy of the Nan Kingdom so much?
I have good reason to hate him.
Think about it. Over the past hundreds of years,
the Nan Kingdom's poisons
have killed so many innocent humans and spirits.
Even many spirits with high cultivation
died from the strange poisons they made.
Although not all of them
were created by the Poison Boy,
he's still anything but good.
Have you ever seen him poison anyone with your own eyes?
No,
but it just shows how secretive he is.
What you said is just a rumor.
To understand someone, don't just listen to what others say.
Try to feel it with your heart.
Not to listen but to feel it with my heart?
So complicated.
Don't think too much.
Go.
Lai is still waiting for you.
The Heaven & Earth Thread?
Yuechu is in trouble.
The view here is great.
You like Aolai Sanshao, don't you?
I found this in the Spirit-Master Kingdom.
[Biography of Aolai Sanshao]
In it are detailed records of everything
Aolai Sanshao has been through over the past few years.
There are also some special notes.
You can't fool me.
This is a trap.
Who knows what lethal poison from the Nan Kingdom is in it?
How could you say that?
Am I the kind of person who would poison you?
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
I wonder
what you did to Honghong
to make her trust you so much.
She trusts me because everything I did,
I did for Tushan
and you guys.
Stop.
Everyone knows that
the Nan Kingdom and the Spirit-Master Kingdom
have always been on bad terms.
One poisons people.
The other controls spirits with talismans.
Both of you are evil.
You must have come here
with an ulterior motive.
You're waiting for the Spirit-Master Kingdom to be thrown into chaos,
so you can benefit from it.
Well,
that's true,
but at this moment,
we're on the same side.
There's no "we."
I, Tushan Yaya, conduct myself with honesty and integrity.
I'm totally different from a sneaky poisoner
like you!
Listen.
We've never been on the same side
and never will be!
Also,
from now on,
I'll protect Her Highness by her side,
while you
should stay 300 meters away.
Understand?
No.
300 meters.
Go out!
You really don't want it?
Fine.
Stop.
Master ordered me
to check on the guy inside.
Get out of the way!
Yes.
This barrier is so powerful.
My spirit power now is not strong enough
to break it.
The effects of Half Spring Snow
can only last for an hour.
Although it can enhance your spirit power,
it'll also do harm to your body.
Don't take it unless it's a life-or-death situation.
Without her spirit bone, Tushan Honghong
can only enhance her cultivation by taking Half Spring Snow.
The effects of Half Spring Snow are fleeting.
We just need to stall her for an hour.
Once it wears off,
I can shatter her soul myself.
At the matchmaking event back then,
Tushan Honghong narrowly escaped death in the nightmare
and set up the Seven Kills Formation to injure me.
Are you worried that I can't beat her?
I dare not.
Don't worry.
Even if she escaped me,
she'd definitely be badly injured.
She wouldn't be able to survive your Flame Formation.
Just keep one thing in mind:
don't activate the formation until she shows up
to save that Dongfang boy.
We'll wait in ambush
both in and out of the city.
It's a great strategy, Spirit Lord.
Go.
Yes.
Tushan Honghong.
This time,
I won't let you walk out alive.
An illusion formation?
Looks like they want to stall me.
After Half Spring Snow wears off,
I'll be doomed.
Lady Fairy.
Where is Lady Fairy?
Is she trapped by you?
What if she is?
Both you and she
have to die today.
You should worry about yourself.
Tushan Honghong.
I'm surprised that you dare to come here
after losing your spirit bone.
Today,
I'll make you wish
you were dead.
What if Shi Ji
can't badly hurt Tushan Honghong?
It's better to get the spiritual blood first.
From now on,
the Dongfang family will no longer exist in this world.
I, Jin Renfeng,
will be the only owner of Divine Flame Villa!
Shi Ji.
It's really you.
No way.
Tushan Honghong
is still so powerful without her spirit bone.
Continuing this fight is too challenging for this body.
I have to count on Jin Renfeng.
How does Dongfang Blood taste?
What did you do?
I just spiced it up a bit.
How dare you poison me?
Where is the antidote?
Give it to me!
Give me the Mother Talismans first.
Give me the antidote.
There is no antidote!
You despicable brat!
What I took was Fire Candle.
I don't like owing people favors.
You let me go last time.
This time, I gave this to you.
We are even now.
When one is poisoned with Fire Candle,
they just need to force the toxic blood out
and wait for fresh blood to be produced.
However, you used your power just now,
causing the Fire Candle
in the spiritual blood
to travel throughout your body.
Either you force the spiritual blood out of your body,
or
you have to endure the pain of being burned every day
and can never forget that
you stole the spiritual blood in your body!
Shut up!
I'll kill you!
Lady Fairy.
I'll take you back.
How many Mother Talismans did you lose?
Almost half of them.
Forgive me, Spirit Lord.
If you hadn't activated the formation early to get the spiritual blood,
when Tushan Honghong entered the formation to save that boy,
she'd definitely have been trapped by it.
With you attacking her from the side,
she could in no way have escaped!
You deserve to die!
Spirit Lord.
Spirit Lord.
It's all that brat's fault.
I didn't expect him
to poison me.
Spirit Lord.
I'm still very useful to you.
I can use the power of the Yiqi Alliance
to wipe them out.
My patience is wearing thin.
Don't let me down again.
Okay.
Help me…
Help me go ahead for a rest.
Okay.
If I go into the city like this,
they'll be disconcerted.
Okay.
Lady Fairy.
Half Spring Snow takes a heavy toll on the user's body.
How could you harm yourself for me?
If I hadn't saved you,
you would've died there.
It was not only Jin Renfeng you were faced with this time,
but also Shi Ji who is hundreds of times stronger than him.
Thankfully, her cultivation hasn't fully recovered,
or even I
couldn't have saved you.
Yuechu,
Dongfang Luo's soul is still in your body.
Overusing your power
will cause it to fight back.
You're the most important now, Lady Fairy.
Stay undisturbed.
Focus on recuperation.
Lady Fairy,
to you,
I'm very important too,
right?
Her Highness
has dismissed you,
effective immediately.
You'll never be hired back.
Guard Shi,
please leave.
I promised
to protect Your Highness forever.
It was your duty
to protect me.
Now that you're not my spirit guard,
you don't have to keep that promise anymore.
It's not just about duty.
I…
I want to protect Your Highness.
Someone else will protect me in the future.
But that person
won't be you.
Kuan,
over all these years,
you've been devoted to protecting me.
Is it because I have your Mother Talisman?
No.
Whether you have it or not,
my loyalty to you
will never change.
Kuan,
the Spirit-Master Kingdom is in turmoil now.
No matter who will get
your Mother Talisman,
you should always put your safety first.
If you were coerced
into doing harm to me,
I wouldn't blame you.
No.
Don't you understand?
Now, without the talisman,
I don't trust you as much as I did before.
I said what I said just now
in order to
end things on good terms.
Your Highness…
Sorry, Kuan.
Your Mother Talisman is in the hands of bad guys now.
I have to force you to leave me now,
or you'll die.
Gujin.
You're home.
Spirit Lord
lied to us.
She found out that Her Highness
had known the Mother Talismans were taken.
Her Highness
is in danger.
Gujin.
Elder Xu,
why are you in my bedchamber at this late hour?
To kill you.
You're not Xu Yi.
Who are you?
You'll know later.
Bu Tai.
You'll die tonight!
Who are you? How dare you attack Her Highness?
Deputy Chief.
Deputy Chief.
It's the fox spell.
No.
It's not the fox spell.
It's indeed not the fox spell.
The fox spell doesn't have such powerful control
over people's minds.
You're finally awake.
Are you feeling better?
How…
After the recuperation,
you leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep.
You slept for the whole night.
How much power
did you consume
to strengthen my soul yesterday?
Just a little.
Compared to the risks you took to save me,
it's not worth mentioning.
Have you forced out the toxic blood in your body?
Yes.
I just lost a bit of blood. It's nothing.
Lady Fairy,
I know you were worried about me.
But I didn't risk my life
without getting anything in return.
Look.
I got these Mother Talismans back.
With them,
the spirits in the city
can't be threatened by Shi Ji anymore.
Unfortunately,
I only got half of them back.
Lady Fairy,
don't be angry with me.
Do you know
every time you throw yourself into danger,
those who care about you will be very worried?
I know I made you worry.
I promise
I'll be more careful next time.
I promise.
You must keep your word.
I will.
Does it still hurt?
No.
That's all for today.
Come back at this time tomorrow.
Master.
You used to take my blood every three days.
Today, why…
Are the injuries you've got this time
more severe than before?
Don't get smart.
If I find out
you make inquiries about me again,
I'll kill you.
I dare not.
Get lost!
Wait.
Go.
Get some spirit slaves back.
Yes.
Well,
why are you looking at me like that?
I just realized
you're actually quite good-looking.
Really?
Actually, I always think
I'm a bit handsome.
And your move that night was so cool.
You sent that guy flying with one single blow.
I never knew
you could fight so well without using poison.
I just showed a teeny, tiny bit of my talent.
Lady Fairy.
Look.
There's a braggart here.
Brat. Honghong.
Where did you go?
If it weren't for Lai,
I might never see you again.
Yuechu and I met Shi Ji.
Shi Ji?
That she-devil is so hard to get rid of.
It's been centuries,
yet she's come back again,
haunting both humans and spirits.
Chief,
have you found out who restored her soul
on Life Island for her?
Elder Buzui looked into it,
but the person who took away Shi Ji's soul fragments
left no traces behind.
Don't worry.
After we catch Shi Ji,
the truth will come to light.
Your Highness,
Guard Shi stayed outside all night last night.
Why are you still here?
Your Highness.
Gujin is dead.
That female spirit deceived him
and killed him.
Why are you telling me this?
I'm afraid someone may hurt you.
Have you forgotten
you're not my spirit guard anymore?
You shouldn't appear in the imperial palace.
If you pester me again, I'll…
I'll leave now.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Chief.
Mr. Yuechu.
I heard that a few days ago,
someone tried to kill you,
and Shi Kuan protected you.
You dismissed him at this time
to protect him, right?
Kuan's Mother Talisman was stolen by evil spirits.
If he keeps protecting me,
he'll be threatened by those evil spirits.
I know he won't betray me.
But I can't just let him
die for me.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
On our trip,
we got back half of the Mother Talismans.
Maybe Kuan's talisman is one of them.
Then he'll be fine.
Kuan's Mother Talisman is not here.
I should've gone for broke
to get the rest of the talismans back.
Don't blame yourself, Mr. Yuechu.
I know you and Chief
took great risks
getting these talismans back.
How are you going to deal with them?
Chief.
I want to ask for a favor.
Chief, Mr. Yuechu, please help me
find a way
to balance humans' power and spirits' power.
I hope the Spirit-Master Kingdom
can stop using Mother Talismans
as leashes on spirits.
Count on me for this one.
That'll both free spirits from slavery
and give humans the power to protect themselves.
If we can succeed,
your country can achieve lasting peace.
Lady Fairy,
what do you think?
You
It's you.
[Spirit-Master Kingdom]
Move! Move!
Move!
You, hurry up!
You guys, stop talking!
Keep moving!
Hurry!
I dare you to run again!
Mr. Xu Yi, your spirit slave is quite good-looking.
How about selling him to me?
Mr. Li,
I just bought this spirit slave.
I'm not done having fun with him.
No.
No.
It's not real.
I must be dreaming.
I'm dreaming.
Dreaming?
Yes.
This place
was my nightmare.
[Episode 9]
Say it again.
Spirit Lord.
Can you free us from our Mother Talismans?
Sure.
Come here.
Go.
Run!
Tushan Honghong.
It's your fault that these spirits were killed by humans.
Lai looked into it
and circled the names of those he found suspicious.
Further investigation is needed.
Thank you, Chief.
Without Tushan's help,
the truth about my father's poisoning
could never be revealed.
You're welcome, Your Highness.
Gujin is the head of spirit slaves.
He's close to Spirit Lord.
Yuechu has been following him secretly.
If everything goes well,
we'll soon find Spirit Lord's hideout.
That's great.
Your Highness,
I heard that Shi Kuan
is the most powerful spirit in the city.
Can you ask him to join the fight?
Of course.
But…
Has Shi Kuan lost his Mother Talisman too?
Humans are mean and cruel.
Without Mother Talismans,
they use magic tools to kill and threaten us.
They want to force us into submission
and enslave us again.
Enslaving us again
is no different from killing us!
We'd rather die than be slaves again!
Yes, we'd rather die than be slaves!
The Spirit-Master Kingdom has only 20,000 humans
but 100,000 spirits.
As long as you join forces with more of your kind
to fight back,
before long,
you can take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
Take the Spirit-Master Kingdom!
[Spirit-Master Kingdom]
Are you okay?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine.
It's the Spirit-Master Kingdom after all.

Gujin.
You're home.
Spirit Lord
lied to us.
She found out that Her Highness
had known the Mother Talismans were taken.
Her Highness
is in danger.
Gujin.
Elder Xu,
why are you in my bedchamber at this late hour?
To kill you.
You're not Xu Yi.
Who are you?
You'll know later.
Bu Tai.
You'll die tonight!
Who are you? How dare you attack Her Highness?
Deputy Chief.
Deputy Chief.
It's the fox spell.
No.
It's not the fox spell.
It's indeed not the fox spell.
The fox spell doesn't have such powerful control
over people's minds.
You're finally awake.
Are you feeling better?
How…
After the recuperation,
you leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep.
You slept for the whole night.
How much power
did you consume
to strengthen my soul yesterday?
Just a little.
Compared to the risks you took to save me,
it's not worth mentioning.
Have you forced out the toxic blood in your body?
Yes.
I just lost a bit of blood. It's nothing.
Lady Fairy,
I know you were worried about me.
But I didn't risk my life
without getting anything in return.
Look.
I got these Mother Talismans back.
With them,
the spirits in the city
can't be threatened by Shi Ji anymore.
Unfortunately,
I only got half of them back.
Lady Fairy,
don't be angry with me.
Do you know
every time you throw yourself into danger,
those who care about you will be very worried?
I know I made you worry.
I promise
I'll be more careful next time.
I promise.
You must keep your word.
I will.
Does it still hurt?
No.
That's all for today.
Come back at this time tomorrow.
Master.
You used to take my blood every three days.
Today, why…
Are the injuries you've got this time
more severe than before?
Don't get smart.
If I find out
you make inquiries about me again,
I'll kill you.
I dare not.
Get lost!
Wait.
Go.
Get some spirit slaves back.
Yes.
Well,
why are you looking at me like that?
I just realized
you're actually quite good-looking.
Really?
Actually, I always think
I'm a bit handsome.
And your move that night was so cool.
You sent that guy flying with one single blow.
I never knew
you could fight so well without using poison.
I just showed a teeny, tiny bit of my talent.
Lady Fairy.
Look.
There's a braggart here.
Brat. Honghong.
Where did you go?
If it weren't for Lai,
I might never see you again.
Yuechu and I met Shi Ji.
Shi Ji?
That she-devil is so hard to get rid of.
It's been centuries,
yet she's come back again,
haunting both humans and spirits.
Chief,
have you found out who restored her soul
on Life Island for her?
Elder Buzui looked into it,
but the person who took away Shi Ji's soul fragments
left no traces behind.
Don't worry.
After we catch Shi Ji,
the truth will come to light.
Your Highness,
Guard Shi stayed outside all night last night.
Why are you still here?
Your Highness.
Gujin is dead.
That female spirit deceived him
and killed him.
Why are you telling me this?
I'm afraid someone may hurt you.
Have you forgotten
you're not my spirit guard anymore?
You shouldn't appear in the imperial palace.
If you pester me again, I'll…
I'll leave now.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Chief.
Mr. Yuechu.
I heard that a few days ago,
someone tried to kill you,
and Shi Kuan protected you.
You dismissed him at this time
to protect him, right?
Kuan's Mother Talisman was stolen by evil spirits.
If he keeps protecting me,
he'll be threatened by those evil spirits.
I know he won't betray me.
But I can't just let him
die for me.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
On our trip,
we got back half of the Mother Talismans.
Maybe Kuan's talisman is one of them.
Then he'll be fine.
Kuan's Mother Talisman is not here.
I should've gone for broke
to get the rest of the talismans back.
Don't blame yourself, Mr. Yuechu.
I know you and Chief
took great risks
getting these talismans back.
How are you going to deal with them?
Chief.
I want to ask for a favor.
Chief, Mr. Yuechu, please help me
find a way
to balance humans' power and spirits' power.
I hope the Spirit-Master Kingdom
can stop using Mother Talismans
as leashes on spirits.
Count on me for this one.
That'll both free spirits from slavery
and give humans the power to protect themselves.
If we can succeed,
your country can achieve lasting peace.
Lady Fairy,
what do you think?
You
It's you.
[Spirit-Master Kingdom]
Move! Move!
Move!
You, hurry up!
You guys, stop talking!
Keep moving!
Hurry!
I dare you to run again!
Mr. Xu Yi, your spirit slave is quite good-looking.
How about selling him to me?
Mr. Li,
I just bought this spirit slave.
I'm not done having fun with him.
No.
No.
It's not real.
I must be dreaming.
I'm dreaming.
Dreaming?
Yes.
This place
was my nightmare.
