[The Demon Hunter's Romance]

[Episode 2]

What is this?

Now take a look

and see if you can see it.

It's okay.

Don't be afraid.

You're a demon hunter.

You won't leave us alone, right?

Mountain demons won't hurt the living.

It's fate that we meet.

The mountain demons values fate

more than we do.

This is their way of welcoming you.

Are you refusing their toast?

You're going to have to drink a forfeit.

Don't waste it.

It can help prolong your life.

Were those mountain demons?

A mountain can also become a demon?

From the mountains, rivers, sun and moon,

to the flowers, birds and insects.

As long as one receives a primordial spirit,

they can then train to become a demon.

To put it bluntly,

isn't it the same for humans?

If you remain unenlightened,

we are just a mess of flesh and blood.

When you have gained enlightenment,

you'll then know the rules of etiquette,

talk about what is shameful,

tell the right from the wrong,

and ascend to a throne above all beings.

What is primordial spirit?

It's a sacred object of the demon clan.

You can think of it as a seed.

If you get it, you can become smarter,

practice sorcery,

and prolong your life.

Furthermore,

one can control the wind and rain

and metamorphose into a human being.

Can you sell me

that bottle of the medicine

which you just gave me?

You want to let your cousin try it?

You can't use it even if I give it to you.

The reason why I helped to unblock your vision just now

is because you have a unique physique.

But for others,

knowing that there are demons on earth

may not necessarily be a good thing.

Do you have any other ways

that will allow Yanqiu to stay safe?

Get rid of that menace

in your family.

That demon is called the Human-faced Owl.

It's a rather old demon.

It has a human face with a beast's body,

like a dog's tail on a horse's body,

but with a physical form of an owl.

The legendary Human-faced Owl

is a sign of major disaster.

If you see it,

there will be severe drought in the region.

However,

those are just rumors.

The Human-faced Owl I saw

was just like any other demon.

They are just good at changing.

It likes to eat the human throat.

Every time it eats up a throat,

the Human-faced Owl can possess the person's voice

and mimic its sound.

That's why Human-faced Owl

can vocalize a hundred tones in one voice.

It smells strange

and it is very horrible.

This medicine is called Bitter Throat.

It can keep your cousin's life safe

for the time being.

That demon

must have set her eyes on

your cousin’s voice.

She has previously hurt people

at Guangping.

She bit the throat of the people

whose voices she wanted to possess.

[Duan's Mansion]

I followed it all the way here

just so that I could get rid of this menace.

I didn't expect your cousin

to mistake me as the murderer.

If he hadn't been busy

looking for me these few days

and thus did not return home...

Young Master.

I'm afraid that demon would have gotten to him.

My Lady, My Lady!

Young Master is back.

Yes.

Let's hurry.

Are you okay, My Lady?

I'm fine.

Hurry.

Let's serve it now.

Okay.

Yanqiu.

Banxia.

You're back.

Did you manage to catch the bad guy?

The authorities have casted a wide net.

We'll catch them alive sooner or later.

You don't have to worry.

Anything else?

I noticed that you haven't been looking good lately.

I made some

tonic for you.

Drink it while it's hot.

Thank you,

but no need.

Young Master,

please just take a sip.

She went to Jishi Clinic

early in the morning,

then cleaned and boiled the tonic

for more than half the day.

She even scalded her hand.

She has put a lot of effort into it.

You scalded yourself?

Have you applied any medicine?

Should we get a doctor?

Yes, I have.

It's okay.

You should take the tonic while it's hot.

What tonic is this?

Why is it so bitter?

Good medicine always tastes bitter.

They said it will only work

if you drink up to the last drop.

Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Bitter Throat?

My Lady,

come and wash your face.

My Lady,

are you cold?

I'm fine.

It's getting late.

You should go wash up and sleep.

I'm not sleepy yet.

You can go and sleep first.

Elder Madam,

Young Madam is here to greet you.

Let her in.

Yes.

Man'er sends her greetings

to Grandmother

and Mother-in-Law.

Rise.

Thank you, Grandmother.

I'm useless.

I've been sick for the past two days

and hence couldn't pay respects to Grandmother and Mother-in-Law.

Please forgive me.

There was a thief in the house that day.

Qiu said you were frightened.

Are you okay now?

Thanks for your concern.

I am okay now.

Although we are not

a very rich family

and we may not have as many formalities,

we should at least observe

basic etiquette.

Since you have married into our family,

forget about what happened in the past.

You have to be hardworking and thrift,

follow the rules and observe the rituals,

and take good care of your husband.

Don't let down

his love for you.

You're right, Grandmother.

I have remembered that.

Sit over there.

Yes, Grandmother.

I heard from my husband that

you gave him a bowl of tonic

yesterday.

He was very appreciative of it.

I was wondering

where did you get this panacea?

Can you lend me the prescription to copy?

If you need it,

I can write a copy for you.

You are so kind.

How about

you drop by my room later?

No need.

I have something to do today.

What is it?

A few days ago,

I saw that Father's hair had turned white.

I want to buy some black beans

and fry them into dried beans,

so that Father can dye his hair.

You are so thoughtful.

Your father is blessed,

unlike me and your uncle.

Grandmother,

I'll take my leave.

Xuanye,

without you,

can Manniang

handle it all by herself?

She's fine during the day.

There are many people around her.

Do you remember

what I told you?

Yes.

Xuanye,

your rival.

He's pretty fast with his actions.

Let me help you deal with him.

Go back first.

I don't need you here.

Don't forget what's going to happen tonight.

Long time no see, Physician Jiu.

Every time I see you,

you are either eating or drinking.

How relaxed.

Well, I can't compare against you, Chief Constable Chu,

who is always running around energetically.

I am just working hard.

I got lost on my way here

and was delayed for two days.

Is this one of your tricks, Physician Jiu?

In your heart,

am I not a swindler?

How could that be considered at trick?

[Chief Constable of Guangping City, Chu Youhuang]

Show me your

travel documents.

I don't have it.

You don't have it?

All travelers and horses that come in and out

must be checked accordingly for their documents.

If you don't have it, that means you have crossed illegally.

If so, I have to

take you back to Guangping City.

Well, isn't my lack of travel documents

all thanks do your doing?

I am just working according to the law.

According to the law,

those who are in currently enlisted or have committed crimes,

will not be issued with the travel pass.

Physician Jiu,

do you still remember

the six murder cases

at Changping Alley, along Sifang Street?

Don't be nervous.

I didn't track you here this time around.

The bandit who cut throats

has fled to Nanyang.

I'm here to investigate the case.

But isn't it such a coincidence?

Whenever there is a murder,

you are always around.

Physician Jiu,

you seem to like to join in the fun.

The throat-cutting cases were the actions of a demon.

You can't handle it.

Again, a demon?

Just like how six years ago,

your entire family

was killed by demons?

I'm just a mere mortal.

I can't see through deception.

Even if I know you had committed murder,

I was unable to convict you.

I don't buy the same lies

that others believe in.

Chief Constable Chu,

I have said

all that I wanted to say.

If you get hurt or even die

because you insist on trying,

don't come blaming me instead.

Waiter!

I will have the bill.

Okay, please wait a moment.

You can order

something for yourself to eat.

Thank you.

[Nanyang City Government]

Help!

Anyone? Help!

Why are you going out so late?

Father.

The scoundrel has appeared in the government office.

Be careful.

Do you have enough people with you?

How about

bringing all of our guards there?

No need.

Let's go.

Hurry. Follow them.

Yes.

Protect Young Master!

♫There is grass in the wild♫

♫Dewdrops sparkle atop♫

♫There is a beauty♫

♫Elegant and beautiful♫

♫I met her by coincidence♫

♫My wish is fulfilled♫

♫There is grass in the wild♫

♫Dewdrops sparkle atop♫

♫There is a beauty♫

♫Elegant and beautiful♫

♫I met her by coincidence♫

♫I hope we could be together♫

What happened?

My Lady,

Young Master went out.

Other than the Elder Master,

every other male has followed him out.

What's happening?

Tingzhou?

Tingzhou!

Tingzhou, what's wrong with you?

Is my singing so awful?

Why is is that you are still awake

when everyone else has fallen asleep?

Since you can see through me,

you should know that

if I want to hurt your brother,

I can do it at the snap of my fingers.

I've told you before that

I really like him.

I want to be with him forever.

Why don't you believe me?

Since you provoked me first

and kept making things difficult for me,

then you can't blame me

for showing my hand either.

You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve.

My Lady!

My Lady!

My Lady, are you alright?

Young Master is back.

Grandmother.

Mother.

Yanqiu,

why are you back?

Where is the scoundrel?

Have you found him?

I chased him till we were out of the town,

but we then lost track of the scoundrel.

So, I came back first.

You were frightened.

Are you feeling better now?

I am much better now.

Thank you for your concern.

Let me ask you something.

It's about your sister-in-law.

I heard from the servants that

after I left,

Manniang came to your place.

Is that true?

Yes.

Then was she abducted by the scoundrel

at your place?

Yes.

You two don't know each other well.

Why did she come here?

I don't know.

The scoundrel came as soon as she entered.

I heard from Tingzhou that

when she woke up,

she found you on the ground

looking terrified and flustered.

Since you were sober,

did you see the scoundrel's face?

Was it the same person

from the last time?

I didn't see him clearly.

Why wouldn't you?

The last time the scoundrel was came in,

you were there too.

This time, all of them

even gathered in your room.

Do you personally know that scoundrel?

You...

Enough.

What are you talking about?

Your sister is tired.

Let her rest first.

Grandmother,

Manniang has been abducted.

Her life is at risk.

I need more information

before I can find her.

That scoundrel

kept showing up

over and over again

because he is clearly

coming for the two of you.

What's the use of

to interrogating your sister?

She is a good lady who very rarely

steps out of the house

and has been living in Yuanzhou for a long time.

How will she ever come to know of any scoundrel?

But your bride instead

was originally

working in

the brothel and taverns.

It's little wonder what kind of people

she would have gotten to know from outside.

Even if you are now married,

others still want to take her away alive.

Grandmother!

Enough.

Say no more.

Mother,

Yanqiu was too anxious

and lost his mind.

I'll lead him away now.

Banxia,

rest well first.

If there's anything, let's talk about it

tomorrow morning instead.

I'll take my leave.

I've asked someone

to warm up the calming tonic

in the kitchen.

If your lady wakes up in the middle of the night,

give her another bowl.

Yes, Madam.

Your father is not home either.

If you have any difficulties,

you can just share it with me.

I will help you.

Grandmother,

don't worry.

I believe that in this world

everything is based on karma.

You've been kind to people all your life

and you are blessed with abundant fortune.

I am sure it will help to protect

all of us in the younger generation.

Everything will be fine.

Where else do you want to go?

This gentleman,

we don't have any grudges in the past,

neither did we have any grudges recently.

Why must you make things difficult for me?

Can't you let me go?

How old are you?

You're still so naive.

I will be back.

My Lady,

it's already late.

Why are you still up?

I am preparing to fry some beans

so that I can help Father to dye his hair when he is back.

The Elder Master needs to dye his hair again?

It hasn't been long since the last time.

Are you not angry with Elder Master anymore?

In my opinion,

Mr. Li is actually quite nice.

At the very least, we know each other well, right?

You're still young.

You don't understand.

By the way, My Lady,

you have a letter

and I placed it on your desk.

What letter?

It was said that someone sent it

and specified it should be handed to you.

Did they mention who sent it?

The servant at the door didn't tell me.

Could it be written by Elder Master?

Help me look after the pot.

I'll go take a look.

Where is this?

Is anyone there?

Don't you come over!

My good little sister,

where do you think you are going?

Don't scare her. She's already terrified.

What are you terrified of?

I never wanted to hurt her.

She provoked me first.

You seduced her brother.

Of course she won't be happy about it.

What do you mean by seduce?

We love each other.

We should be together forever.

She was the one who ruined

this marriage first.

My good little sister,

how should I punish you

for breaking up my marriage?

Your throat is so beautiful.

How about

I eat it?

My good little sister,

stop running.

You can't run away from me.

Why did she find me again?

Something happened.

It's you again!

I'm the one who hurt you.

How dare you

vent your anger on others?

I've never provoked you.

Why are you haunting me

and keep making things difficult for me?

I have no choice.

You are a demon.

I'm a demon hunter.

You did something bad.

Isn't it natural for me

to make things difficult for you?

I told you

I don't want to hurt anyone this time.

You've gone too far.

Tell him that

although I have hurt countless of people,

I never wanted to hurt him.

I...

really liked him.

Is she dead?

She's dead.

Will she come back alive?

No.

[Duan's Mansion]

Young Master,

she's awake now.

You can do away with the formalities.

Last night,

you fainted in front of Shengping Theater

and was found by officials

who sent you back.

That day,

I was too reckless.

Please don't take it to heart.

I heard from the maid that

a few days ago,

when Manniang was bedridden,

you had went to see her?

She don't come from a good background

and everyone looks down on her.

I thank you

on her behalf.

I believe that night,

Manniang went to find you

because she was also feeling moody

and wanted to chat with you.

We didn't expect that she would meet the scoundrel.

But after all, you are a woman without much strength yourself.

The scoundrel

is still at large.

It was too dangerous for you

to go to a place like

Shengping Theater

to find her all by yourself.

I'm her husband

and an official.

I will find her back

through both official and unofficial means.

So,

don't you worry anymore.

I understand.

I have work to do.

I'm leaving.

Brother.

If...

we can never find sister-in-law

ever again,

what would you do?

Don't think too much.

Have a good rest.

The one who rears rabbits!

The one who rears rabbits!

The one who rears rabbits!

The one who rears rabbits!

Who are you?

Where did this little thief come from?

You! Stop right there!

Stop!

Stop!

The one who rears rabbits!

The one who rears rabbits?

I don't rear rabbits.

My surname is Jiu,

and my name is Xuanye.

My surname is Duan, name is Banxia.

I know.

What is this?

It's for you.

Food?

Anything else?

I am talking about food.

You have ate all the food I brought,

but I have some more at home.

Forget it.

You can really eat.

What brings you here?

I wanted to ask

if my sister-in-law is really dead?

Her soul is gone

and she died a thorough death.

Even the presence of the Great Immortal

can't save her.

You don't have to worry about this anymore.

What's up?

You seem to miss her.

Not really.

So did Manniang marry my brother

just to

to take his voice?

That I don't know.

What she thinks has nothing to do with me.

I only know demons

could be good or bad.

If it has the thoughts to kill,

or to disturb people's safety,

we must kill them all

to prevent future troubles.

I advise you

not to think too much.

When you have such eyes,

you are bound to come across demons

in this life.

Demons are good at bewitching people.

If you don't raise your guard,

you'll fall into their trap sooner or later.

Alright.

I’m going back to Guangping.

Do you have any plans?

Plans?

Are you going to

keep smelling this calming fragrance

and lie to yourself that

there are no demons in this world?

My family

don't like me to be seeing those things.

What about you?

I don't like it either.

This time, it was my brother

was stalked by a demon,

so I had no choice.

But I won't always

be so unlucky, right?

Maybe.

But doing so,

you're just deceiving yourself.

You can fool yourself for a while,

but not forever.

But what can I do?

Am I supposed to be a demon hunter like you?

I'm not that capable.

I just want to be an ordinary person

and live a good life.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Done.

This is the self-protection seal.

I created it.

Even if you meet

a demon who has been cultivated for a 100 years,

you will still stand a fighting chance.

In the future,

if you encounter any trouble,

you can come to Guangping City to find me.

Guangping City?

Where do you live?

Do you live alone?

Or with your family?

I have no family.

If you come to Guangping,

you can come to Sifang Street,

Changping Alley.

Find me at Ganshan Clinic.

Ganshan Clinic?

Although I am a demon hunter,

I am also a physician.

Ganshan Clinic is my pharmacy.

Do you

anything else to ask?

No.

Go back then.

Thank you for today.

I'll get going then.

She's so bold.

She's a girl,

yet she's not afraid of such a dark mountain road.

♫Captured in the mirror♫
