(Moonlit Reunion)

(Episode 6)

Anyone here?

The meeting place is so dirty.

There's no one cleaning. Where's everyone?

Are you sure the Rat Demon escaped from this place?

I'm sure.

The entrance of this barrier was created by the first Demon City lord.

It is very mysterious.

The walls of the barrier have the ability to verify demons.

Those who are allowed by the Demon Lord can enter and leave freely.

Otherwise, demons outside the barrier cannot enter

and the demons inside the barrier cannot escape.

This entrance has been working as intended for centuries.

Elder Gray does not have permission to allow a demon to enter or leave.

He will never release the Rat Demon.

I'm sure you made a mistake.

Is that so? Did he not release the Rat Demon?

What spell did he cast on the forehead?

A spell on the forehead?

Rat Demon.

Don't tell me

- it's the Astral Wandering spell? - Astral...

Isn't that a forbidden spell?

No wonder the old man was rushing me to find the Rat Demon.

He was trying to distract me and hurt Yu Zhen.

Cat Lord is in danger.

The Cat Lord has entered the mountains

and will soon obtain the Lightning Wood.

Have you prepared everything?

Nothing must go wrong.

We mustn't let her get what she wants.

Don't worry, Elder Gray.

I've set up a demonic array around the Lightning Wood.

The Cat Lord has the form of a human during the day.

She will surely die when she touches it.

However,

why is there a mortal by her side?

Who is that?

I heard

he's an official from the Arcane Appraisal Bureau.

His name is Mei...

Mei...

Whatever.

A mortal or two is nothing to worry about.

However, you must not go back on your words,

Elder Gray.

Naturally.

Once it is done,

I will take over the Cat Lord's authority.

I can protect you from harm

even if you have fun and create chaos in Chang'an,

let alone charming others in the Western outskirts.

That's good to hear.

I'm hungry.

I'll go and find some food.

Lady Wu Zhen.

Mr. Mei, you're amazing.

You found food so quickly.

That's too much praise.

Are you telling me

that we'll be having rabbit later?

What else?

Is there something wrong with you?

You don't like cats and you want to eat rabbits.

Do you have a grudge against mammals?

They are so cute.

Why don't you touch it?

You can only feel this in mammals.

It escaped.

Lady Wu Zhen,

you released our lunch.

I'll have to trouble you to find us more food then.

Don't find something too cute.

I can't bear to eat them.

Don't run around.

I, Wu Zi Shu, have been in Chang'an for many years

yet I don't know there are still demons in the Western Outskirts.

How disrespectful of me.

I, the Mountain Specter, have been in the Western Outskirts for many years

yet I don't know there's such a handsome demon

in Chang'an.

Where's the old rat?

Am I

not as attractive as him?

In that case,

he is indeed here.

Be patient.

It makes me sad

to see you treat me so coldly.

Do you have someone you like?

That has nothing to do with you.

It seems like there's indeed someone in your heart.

Let me take a guess. Is she far away

or is she beside you?

Shu!

I see.

That's the person you are thinking of?

Nonsense.

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

- Shu! - Shu!

I was careless.

The mortal man seemed weak

but he could actually fight.

If we keep dragging on,

Wu Zi Shu might escape as well.

That probably won't happen.

Rest assured, Elder Gray.

Wu Zi Shu has been trapped by this illusion.

Zhen.

Wu Zi Shu is busy with his work all day

and likes to run his mouth.

Zhen.

I didn't expect him

to be a lovesick soul.

The person beside her

is also a nuisance.

Don't let her get away this time.

Don't worry, Elder Gray.

What happened at the cave just now?

I went inside unintentionally.

I didn't expect to see a mad tree inside.

I heard there were spirits and demons

in the forests.

When I couldn't find you previously, I was worried about your safety.

Thankfully, you were calm, Lady Wu Zhen.

I wasn't calm.

I thought I would die in...

The arms of a handsome man.

Since you can make jokes, that means you're fine.

You've never told me that you knew martial arts though.

Lady Wu Zhen, you've never asked.

You didn't deny it

when I said you were weak.

Here.

It's done.

Wild chicken. It's poultry.

Where did you learn martial arts from?

When I was young, I learned some basics from my seniors.

I see.

Lady Wu Zhen, let me get you some water.

Don't move around this time.

The Mountain Specter is very annoying.

I'm the Cat Lord so I can hold my breath.

I won't fall for her tricks.

Why must she do something so useless?

Oh no, it's probably effective against Mr. Mei.

There are so many rotten things.

No wonder there's a thick miasma here

creating the Mountain Specter.

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

Where is he?

Mr. Mei.

Lady Wu Zhen? Why are you here?

It is too foggy in the mountains.

I was afraid that you might get lost

so I came to take a look.

Just now, I saw a beautiful flower

on the cliff.

Unfortunately, I can't get up there.

Mr. Mei,

can you help me pluck it?

For you.

It's so pretty.

Can you put it on for me?

Demon.

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

Where is he?

Where is he?

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu?

Mr. Mei?

You are here.

I've finally found you.

What's wrong?

Why does she look identical to me?

There's something wrong with her.

Demon, how dare you accuse me instead?

Look. She's a demon.

- I'm not. - Mr. Mei, kill her.

Come with me.

Mr. Mei, kill her. I'm the real one.

Kill her.

Mr. Mei. Hurry.

Why...

Why?

Because you are the demon.

How dare you ruin my cultivation?

Have a taste of this poison miasma.

Mei Zhu Yu!

Mei Zhu Yu!

You failed.

I'm afraid the agreement between us is void.

Elder Gray.

It's not right for you to betray me.

I'm in trouble myself. How can I protect you?

I'm warning you now. You've attracted a lot of heat recently.

You should be captured according to the rules of Demon City.

Now that you've offended Cat Lord and her helper,

you should leave immediately

if you still value your life.

- Where are you going? - Back to Demon City of course.

What a coincidence, Elder Gray.

Why are you acting like a stranger, Elder Gray?

You're just going to leave without even greeting me?

What?

Do you think I can't find evidence

of you using a forbidden spell

to escape Demon City because you don't do anything, Elder Gray?

You're not showing me respect

and that's humiliating for me.

Whatever. I don't have to be lenient

since this is just an ordinary rat.

She's good at escaping.

How dare he

hurt my conscience

and ruin my hundred-year cultivation?

Mei Zhu Yu.

Mei Zhu Yu.

Mei Zhu Yu.

Mei Zhu Yu.

He has inhaled too much miasma as a mortal.

It seems like I can only...

You are quite intelligent

for a mortal man.

I don't believe it.

I must go inside tonight

and see what's going on.

- If I knew, I would've eaten less. - Fourth Master Mei.

Lady Liu... I...

I told you

that everything was fine.

Why must you still spread rumors

and say that there are demons in Liu Residence?

That is not a rumor.

I saw it with my own eyes.

There was a white snake slithering around the Liu Residence that day.

It was slithering...

It was this tall

that was rare.

I'm sure it has turned into a spiritual being of some sort.

I actually entered successfully.

So? Does a spiritual being deserve to be chased away and killed?

I don't mean that.

Whatever.

Since you are trying to help me,

I might have a task for you.

Lady Liu, please tell me.

I won't let you down.

Fourth Master Mei,

please help me get an item.

No problem.

Where should I go?

You're awake.

What happened to me?

You passed out.

I remember there were two of you.

There are demons in this mountain.

The miasma turned into someone

who looked exactly like me.

Thankfully, you were amazing

and found out who the real one is and dispersed the miasma.

What happened

after I dispersed the miasma?

After that, you passed out.

I protected you

until you woke up.

That's all?

Why are you acting so strangely?

It's nothing.

Mr. Mei, the sun has come up.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

You have finally returned.

I've prepared a comfortable carriage and servants.

Please return to the city immediately, Your Highness.

Your Highness, the person in front is...

It's me, Fourth Master Mei.

Si?

Why are you here?

What a coincidence, Miss Zhen.

I'm so tired.

Little Fish? Why are you here too?

Miss Zhen, can you give me a sip of water?

Slow down.

You seem like you're going to a faraway place.

Where are you going?

Miss Zhen, I was requested by Lady Liu

to do an important task.

Liu Tai Zhen?

What is it?

Lady Liu told me

there were demons in her residence.

The master said

I need to keep going west

and find a blade of divine grass

to resolve the Liu Residence's trouble.

West?

What is it?

The master said

it's a secret.

I just need to keep going west

and not turn back

until I find a divine grass with green flowers and red leaves

that is as tall as two people.

Si, should I help you?

Sure, Miss Zhen.

Lin Yuan! Huai An!

Miss Zhen, you are so nice.

- Take him back. - Yes.

- No. - Move.

I'm heading west!

This is the wrong direction!

I think Liu Tai Zhen chased him out.

Let's go!

(Chang'an)

Lady Wu Zhen, thank you for sending me back.

Are you sure you don't want me to send you home?

No need.

My residence is in the opposite direction.

All of you should go back earlier.

Little Fish, help me out.

Mr. Mei.

What is it, Lady Wu Zhen?

Thank you for helping me yesterday in the mountains.

Little Fish.

See you again.

See you again.

- Your Highness, should we enter the palace directly? - No.

I still have things to do.

Send me to Ruyi Pavilion.

You just need to return to the palace and inform them.

Tell His Majesty and Her Majesty

that Mr. Mei is with me

and I'm fine.

Tell them not to worry.

Also,

the Arcane Appraisal Bureau only sent one person to investigate the case.

He didn't return for the whole day

but no one was worried about him.

Ask His Majesty and Her Majesty

to learn from the Arcane Appraisal Bureau.

Seriously.

So easy-going and carefree.

Yes.

(Chang'an)

Is this the Lightning Wood?

You got it so easily?

Why do you think I'm the boss?

You did get it easily

apart from the fact that you got hurt.

That Hui Men actually attacked using that opportunity.

That old rat really had a death wish.

The old man had been traveling back and forth for too long.

It's time to get rid of him.

Shu, we've obtained the Lightning Wood.

When can we break the Undecaying Bone?

The Lightning Wood might be able to disperse evil

but the Undecaying Bone shouldn't be underestimated.

We need to wait for the lightning

to strike the Lightning Wood

before crushing the Undecaying Bone completely.

However, you are still hurt.

You need to recuperate before the lightning strikes.

I'll concoct some medicine for you.

Boss, where are you going?

Last night, I didn't dare leave

because of Mr. Mei's safety.

I'm worried about the Mountain Specter that I failed to get rid of.

Hide this from Shu and don't tell him.

Otherwise, he'll nag me again.

Be careful, then.

Don't worry.

Be careful.

Let pure will arise and the astral constellations revolve together.

Mortal,

why have you returned?

Do you miss me?

Celestial Master?

This is impossible.

I've gained my form for decades

and have always succeeded.

How can I be defeated by the likes of you?

You overestimated yourself.

When did you realize that I was a fake?

You might have changed into her appearance

but it was actually very different.

You can change your shape and aura

but you can't imitate one's spirit.

I don't get it.

A demon like you will never understand.

Do you know what kind of person she is?

She might be someone who likes to fool around

and play pranks normally

but if she wants a flower,

she will pluck it herself.

If she's in danger,

she will not rely on others

let alone hide behind someone's back.

She is unique.

What you changed into

was just your thought of her

and not the exact person.

That is the reason why I've lost.

Celestial Master.

If you can spare me,

I will tell you

the secret of the girl who's with you.

If it's a secret,

you should keep it to yourself.

It'll be sealed together with your life.
