This has exhausted me completely.
I wonder if I owed you in the past life.
No, no.
I'm already like this. Please don't rain.
(Xingtang Temple)
Is there anyone here?
Is there anyone here?
Is there anyone here?
Could someone please open the door?
Is there anyone here?
(Xingtang Temple)
Hang in there a bit longer.
Sir, could you let us in
to shelter from the rain?
We need a place to stay for the night.
You may come in,
but it's not very convenient
for this lady to stay in the temple.
Sir, my friend is sick
and got caught in the rain.
Please make an exception. Please.
Amitabha Buddha.
Then come in.
Thank you, sir.
A'nu,
I'm sorry.
Tang Yu,
you've finally returned.
A'nu,
how are you?
I'm fine. It's good that you're back.
You
Don't cry.
Look, I'm really fine.
Master miraculously healed me
with the Golden Silkworm King,
otherwise, I would have been dead.
A'nu,
it's all my fault.
What does it have to do with you?
It's all because
of that ruthless Bai Yue.
That old man Mr. Shi
Alright.
Drink your medicine.
No.
It's so bitter.
You can have orange peel candy
after you take the medicine.
It's really sweet.
Drink your medicine.
You traitor.
I thought you came to see me,
but it turns out
you're my master's envoy.
The Sacred Maid had no choice,
so
Put down the medicine.
I have something to ask you.
What is it?
Are you
keeping something from me?
Thank you, Master,
for granting me spiritual power.
I am willing to search
for the other Spiritual Beads for you.
Please let me out of the tower.
Master,
searching for the Spiritual Beads
is crucial.
I dare not delay.
Please guide me
on how to leave the tower.
By accepting my magical power,
you will become half-human
and half-demon.
No demon
can leave this Demon-Locking Tower.
This was your choice.
From now on,
you will stay with me,
guarding this Demon-Locking Tower.
What?
Master!
Master!
Master!
(Xingtang Temple)
I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!
This poison shows no signs of weakening.
What should I do?
Water
Water
You were just now shouting to kill,
and now you've got a fever?
Water
Hot water.
- Hot water.
- Water
I'm turning into your maid.
Water.
Water.
Alright, alright.
This water is very hot.
Be careful that it's hot.
- Careful.
- No more. No more.
No more.
You're the one asking for water,
and you're the one who's refusing it.
It saves you from making a fuss later.
Why do I always feel
like something's missing?
A'nu,
I
If you can't remember,
then let me help you recall.
You once said
that a girl about six
or seven years old saved you.
How could such a small girl
save you?
Are you making it up?
A'nu,
that was ten years ago.
- Ten years ago?
- At that time
I thought I would never find her again.
Isn't she now about sixteen or seventeen?
Definitely a liar.
You're still laughing.
Alright then, go find her.
Go find your beloved,
and play the leaf whistle
to her every day.
A'nu,
that girl I've been thinking about
is right in front of me now.
What now? What in front of you?
What are you saying?
That girl I've been thinking about
is you.
Me?
You're not just
saying this to make me
take my medicine, are you?
When you saved me back then,
you hummed a little tune.
Only you know that tune.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Tang Yu, come help me
prepare the medicine.
Alright.
You haven't finished it.
A'nu,
you rest well for now.
Tang Yu
(Xingtang Temple)
Miss!
- Stop!
- Amitabha Buddha.
- Amitabha Buddha.
- I'm going to kill you!
Miss! Miss!
I'm going to kill you!
- I'm going to kill you!
- Amitabha Buddha.
I'm going to kill you!
Savage girl, why are you
Kill you!
Sir! Sir! Get out of the way!
- Savage girl, are you ever going to stop?
- Come back here!
- Sir, what's wrong with your friend?
- Stop!
- I'm going to kill you!
- That's right.
I'm going to kill you!
Amitabha Buddha.
We have to do this.
Sir,
is there a skilled physician nearby?
May I ask
what illness has she contracted?
She's not ill.
She's been poisoned
by someone.
If it's poison,
then perhaps Master Juewu
can detoxify her.
Who is Master Juewu?
Could you please introduce us to him?
Master.
Master,
please save my friend.
Tell me. What happened?
My friend has been poisoned
by Purple Poppy.
Purple Poppy, huh?
How many days has it been?
Three days.
Three days?
Then there's no need to treat it.
Master, please think of something
There must be a way.
What's going on?
It's all my fault
for not protecting you well,
letting you get poisoned
by that despicable Taoist priest.
I will find a way to cure you.
Even if you remain like this,
I won't leave you.
Silly rat,
who needs your care?
Why are you panicking?
You
You're alright?
I'm fine, yeah.
Just let me go.
That's not right.
You savage girl,
you're never this polite.
Am I usually harsh to you?
Of course.
You think you're gentle?
If it weren't for me tying you up,
you'd be biting people.
Li Xiaoyao!
It was you who tied me up.
Let me go now,
or I'll break your legs.
This tone.
This attitude.
You're really okay?
Hurry up.
So, when the master said
no need for treatment,
it meant the Purple Poppy
would heal by itself after three days.
What are you muttering?
Let me untie you.
What have you done to me?
What have I done to you?
Ever since you were poisoned
by the Purple Poppy,
your temperament changed drastically,
attacking anyone you see.
I am the real victim here.
Nonsense.
Pretending to be mad before,
now acting dumb.
Your tricks really are endless.
Say that again.
I'll say it again,
so what?
Nothing.
Li Xiaoyao!
(Buddha)
Li Xiaoyao, stop right there!
Are you okay now or still ill?
Move!
Move aside!
Madam, are you alright?
Auntie?
Mrs. Liu?
Yueru.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Li, how come you're here?
Auntie,
did you come here to pray for blessings?
What's going on? What happened?
Yueru,
your cousin
He's sick.
Auntie, don't panic.
What illness does my cousin have?
Miss Yueru, you may not know
ever since Mr. Liu returned to the capital,
he's contracted a strange illness.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu have sought
all the famous physicians
but to no avail.
The young master's condition
worsens by the day.
Madam has prayed
in every temple in the capital,
hoping for his early recovery.
How is my cousin now?
His wife is taking care of him.
His wife?
Scholar got married?
That's enough.
Let's not talk about that.
Jinyuan would be so happy
to know you're here.
Maybe seeing you
will help him recover faster.
Yueru, will you come back with me now?
Okay.
Let's go.
It's only been a few days,
and Scholar got married.
What?
Are you jealous?
Of course, I'm jealous.
Being as smart as he is,
he must have found
a virtuous and good girl,
not like some people.
Who are you calling "some people"?
Don't do this.
Save yourself the heartache.
Okay, okay, okay.
Do you still remember
what you said in the room before?
I didn't say anything.
You did.
You said you wouldn't leave me.
I heard it all.
When Master Juewu said
you didn't need treatment,
I thought you were going
to be crazy forever.
When I get the chance,
I'll definitely go to Mount Shu
to have a word with those Taoist priests.
The Wind Spiritual Bead
is still in that Taoist priest's possession.
What should we do next?
First, let's go to the capital
to see Scholar,
and then we'll go to Mount Shu
to retrieve the Wind Spiritual Bead.
Do you know how to get to Mount Shu?
Let's find my master
and ask him to take us to Mount Shu.
The Drunken Sword Immortal?
Right.
That's as good as not saying anything.
He's like a roaming immortal.
Finding him is even harder
than going to Mount Shu.
That might not be true.
We might find him
in the capital this time.
The capital?
Right.
The capital.
Greetings, Lady of the South.
Here's your subordinate, Gai Luojiao.
General Gai, please rise.
These ten years,
you've worked hard.
I am at fault.
I failed to protect the Queen's statue
and also caused
the young master to be injured.
Please punish me.
General Gai, you need not blame yourself.
We all fell into Bai Yue's trap.
He used Mr. Shi
and the rumor of reviving the Queen
to lure the Princess
to break the magical barrier,
and then took the opportunity
to destroy the statue.
Bai Yue has spies all over the court.
The Nanzhao court
is under his control.
This is why
we are meeting here.
We should meet with the Witch King
to expose Bai Yue's conspiracy
and ask the Witch King to order
the eradication of the Moon Worship Sect.
By the way,
how is A'nu?
After being treated by the Sacred Maid,
A'nu is fine now.
My Lady,
won't you go and see A'nu?
No.
A'nu is mischievous.
If she sees me,
she will definitely want to return
with us to Nanzhao.
Nanzhao is fraught with crises.
A'nu is the only hope
of the Witch Moon Sect.
We cannot endanger her again.
Understood.
Chief.
Gui Ying.
Yes.
Come look.
Yes.
This
(Water Demon Beast)
This is
This is the Water Demon Beast
ten years ago.
Chief.
The Water Demon Beast was sealed
by the demon queen back then.
May it now be reborn?
You are the only one
who has seen this little creature.
Anyone else would surely
have been killed without question.
Yes, Chief.
Right, Chief,
I've learned
that Gai Luojiao, along with Tang Yu
and the Lady of the South's daughter,
has already returned to Nanzhao.
Now, there is no one
from our side with them.
Just in case,
shall we send someone to follow them?
I need them to return to Nanzhao.
They can help me complete my great cause.
Chief,
I have contacted Tang Yu.
Should I ask him
He will return.
(Lizhao Residence)
Auntie,
what exactly is wrong with Jinyuan?
After you left,
he fell ill and has not recovered.
Your uncle invited famous physicians,
and even summoned imperial physicians
from the palace,
but
But the cause of the illness
remains undiscovered.
How could this be?
Some say he's been cursed.
Just at that time,
Jinyuan met Cai Yi,
and they were quite
taken with each other,
so we thought
perhaps getting married
might benefit him.
Did that help?
Though Jinyuan is not getting better,
Cai Yi
is truly devoted to Jinyuan.
Lately, with many affairs at the border,
your uncle is rarely home
due to being summoned to the palace.
I have to go to many temples
to pray for blessings.
Fortunately,
she's taking good care of Jinyuan,
so I can be a bit relieved.
Mrs. Liu,
where is Scholar now?
Ever since they got married,
Cai Yi said
Jinyuan should rest in a quiet place.
They moved to the chamber
in the back garden.
Can we go see him now?
Go ahead.
Your cousin loves flowers?
Maybe.
Look.
(Cai Yi)
This is
Miss Yueru,
this is Mrs. Cai.
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cai.
You must be Yueru.
Jinyuan often talks about you.
I always wondered
what kind of woman
would be worthy of my cousin.
You're indeed as beautiful as they say.
Yueru,
I often hear Jinyuan speak of you,
saying you're brave and yet charming.
Now I've seen you today,
and you're just as I imagined.
Oh no, Mrs. Cai, you're flattering me.
Just call me Cai Yi.
That won't do.
You're my sister-in-law after all.
It's late. Where are you going?
The Forest of Toxic Herbs
in the back mountain.
I was just about to go there
to pick some fresh herbs for Jinyuan.
Picking herbs?
Mrs. Cai is familiar
with plants and herbs.
Some herbs in the medicine
for the young master
need to be picked at night.
These days,
Mrs. Cai goes to pick them
every evening herself.
That's a lot of work.
This garden full of peonies
was also planted by Mrs. Cai herself,
just to add some vitality
for the young master
while he recuperates.
Mrs. Cai,
you're really good to Jinyuan.
I haven't done much.
I just hope that Jinyuan
can recover soon.
This must be Mr. Li, right?
Mrs. Cai, nice to meet you.
Mr. Li,
Jinyuan also often mentions you,
calling you a great hero
with formidable martial skills.
Scholar really has an eye
for people.
Stop flattering yourself.
Exactly as Jinyuan said.
What did he say?
He said you two
are a pair of handsome
and beautiful lovers.
Don't listen to his nonsense.
Let's go see him now.
Mrs. Cai,
if you go to the back mountain
to pick herbs,
tell me. I can protect you.
Okay.
Next time I go,
I will definitely tell you.
Jinyuan.
Jinyuan.
You guys
What are you doing here?
Take it slow.
Jinyuan, you
Jinyuan,
I'll let you talk.
- I'll go prepare the medicine.
- Alright.
Please, sit down.
Come here.
Sit down, so we can have a chat.
Come.
Come, come.
Jinyuan,
how did you suddenly become so ill?
It's not serious.
Ever since we parted,
somehow,
my body has become weaker.
Scholar,
I remember on our last trip back,
we didn't encounter any evil beings.
It's alright.
Ever since I started
taking the medicine Yi prepares,
I've been better.
She is really good to you.
How come it's just you guys
who came back?
Did you find Miss Ling'er?
Who are you talking about?
Indeed, you're a descendant of Nuwa.
With the power of Nuwa,
combined with the Spiritual Bead
containing the essence of heaven and earth,
great things can be achieved.
The power of Nuwa
truly has such strength?
The power of Nuwa?
It's you.
How did you become like this?
It's all because of you.
Your name Bao Pu indicates living plainly
and embracing simplicity
with fewer personal desires.
It was your own greed
that has harmed you.
Detestable!
If I absorb the power of Nuwa,
even King of Prison
would have to respect me.
You can't escape.
I
Maybe it's because
I've been bedridden for so long.
I remembered the wrong person.
Tang Yu
Have Tang Yu and A'nu
returned to Nanzhao?
A'nu was injured.
Tang Yu accompanied her
back to Nanzhao to heal.
Li Xiaoyao and I continued
to search for the Spiritual Beads.
I see.
Then I understand.
Scholar,
the person you just mentioned
Sir,
Mrs. Liu asked Miss Lin and Mr. Li
to come for a meal.
Then you should go.
My mother will be worried
if you don't.
Jinyuan, you should rest well.
Alright.
- Rest well, okay?
- Alright.
Come out.
Little Stone.
What exactly is going on with those two?
When I asked earlier,
why did they have no recollection
of Miss Ling'er?
If it wasn't for your hint just now,
I might have pressed on.
How come it's just you guys
who came back?
Did you find Miss Ling'er?
Who are you talking about?
Mr. Liu, please don't mention Miss Fairy.
I'll explain more to you later.
Maybe it's because
I've been bedridden for so long.
I remembered the wrong person.
Mr. Liu,
you seem deeply poisoned.
Your condition looks quite serious.
I'm fine.
What exactly is going on?
Miss Fairy asked me to use
the Jade Buddha Magical Formation
to erase all their memories
related to her.
Why is that?
That's right.
Miss Ling'er
has always been worried
that she might
burden everyone.
After leaving twice before,
Li and Yueru
both went after her.
It seems this time,
she's made up her mind.
Where is Miss Ling'er now?
Miss Fairy
She returned to Nanzhao.
She asked me to tell you
that she's glad to have known you
and thank you for your help.
She said you should not worry about her,
that she would take good care of herself,
and that she would be alright.
She
She
She hopes Xiaoyao
and Yueru can be together.
It's also the best outcome for everyone.
So,
please,
don't mention Miss Fairy
in front of them.
Too much of anything
is harmful.
Destiny must
run its course naturally.
Whether it's meant to be or not,
there is always a reason.
I understand
Miss Ling'er's decision.
Thank you, Mr. Liu.
Miss Ling'er,
you're too considerate.
Your Majesty,
the Lady of the South
is asking to meet you.
What is she doing here?
I don't know.
She has brought someone with her.
It seems to be General Gai Luojiao.
General Gai? Let them in.
Yes.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
No need for formalities.
General Gai,
where have you been these ten years?
I've been guarding the Queen's statue.
Did you see Mr. Shi?
Mr. Shi
was killed by Bai Yue.
Is that true?
Absolutely true.
I guarded the Queen's statue
for ten years,
never to think
now it would be destroyed
by the traitor Bai Yue.
He also harmed the Princess
and killed Mr. Shi.
Bai Yue's treacherous purpose
is clear for all to see.
Ling'er?
Is it really my Ling'er?
- It is.
- Where is Ling'er now?
Your Majesty,
after the battle at Yunmeng Marsh,
there were heavy casualties.
Fortunately, with your protection,
Princess Ling'er,
although injured by Bai Yue,
was not seriously harmed.
Unfortunately, Lady of the South's daughter
was seriously injured.
Princess Ling'er, concerned about Nanzhao,
took A'nu's place and continued on her journey
to find the Spiritual Beads,
to pray for rain
and blessings for Nanzhao.
Lady of the South, how is A'nu now?
Your Majesty, thank you for your concern.
A'nu, under the care of the Sacred Maid
of the Witch Moon Sect,
has recovered considerably.
A'nu is loyal and devoted.
Once she returns to Nanzhao,
I will surely reward her generously.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Send someone
to the Central Plains immediately
to find the Princess.
I cannot afford to lose Ling'er again.
- Hurry!
- Yes.
However, Your Majesty,
this incident proves
that the news that the Princess
could revive the Queen through her statue
was concocted by Bai Yue.
His aim was to use Mr. Shi
to find Princess Ling'er
and the Queen's statue,
to destroy the statue.
Bai Yue's actions
surely have a bigger conspiracy
behind them.
Your Majesty,
we must be cautious.
Your Majesty,
please order the capture of Bai Yue
and the eradication of his sect.
The Moon Worship Sect
is deep-rooted and widespread.
This matter requires further discussion.
The urgent task
is to find Princess Ling'er.
I am tired.
You may all leave now.
Yes.
My Lady,
please forgive my frankness.
Bai Yue's treason
and his myriad misdeeds
are clear for all to see.
Why does His Majesty not punish him?
His Majesty's evident hesitation
towards Bai Yue
suggests that this is far more complex
than we imagined.
My Lady,
I have a vague feeling
that there's an unspeakable secret
hidden within this palace.
