[When Destiny Brings The Demon]

[Based on the JJWXC novel "When Destiny Brings The Demon" by Fu Hua]

[Episode 24]
[That Brave Girl Who Dated the Big Boss Was Actually Me?!]

Why would

such a memory appear in your Soul Manor?

Could it really be, as Sima Jiao said,

that you are Liao Tingyan

but have only lost that part of your memory?

That is exactly what baffles me.

If what I saw in my Soul Manor was true,

then my aunt's memories were false.

Besides, if Sima Jiao had something to hide,

he wouldn't have insisted on taking me to search for my aunt's soul.

So you suspect your father has been lying to you all along?

I don't want to think that way.

But all the signs point to it.

Father once saved my life.

That actually happened.

And we've lived together for 18 years.

I really don't want to believe he'd lie to me.

Can you try to enter your Soul Manor again

to find out what really happened back then?

I've tried,

but my cultivation is too low. I can't get in.

So

what do you plan to do next?

I want to find out the truth.

If so...

It's me.

Hongluo.

Thank you, Si...

Thank you, sir, for transferring my soul and giving me rebirth.

Seeing you up close,

you truly are a handsome man with a delicate and pretty face.

Hongluo,

why are you being so glib?

That's typical Miss Hongluo, isn't it?

You're here, too?

Of course, to celebrate

Miss Hongluo's return.

Save your flattery.

Didn't expect we'd reunite in a new place.

Talk about perfect timing. The three of us will gather tonight as usual.

We'll sing and play games as we used to do.

We must drink till we drop.

Hongluo is still a kid. She can't drink.

True. Let's have tea, then.

I can drink liquor.

Here you go.

Ah, there's a lovers' rivalry going on here.

What are you talking about?

She's out of her mind.

One is the celestial Grandmaster

you swore a lifelong vow to,

the other is your childhood friend

you've shared 18 years of ups and downs with.

What a hard choice to make.

Are those lifelong vows

already gone,

or did they never exist?

Is there even a trace of this memory

in Yan's heart?

That makes sense.

Well, enough of that.

Let's have tea instead of liquor

to celebrate Hongluo's return.

Cheers.

By your order,

I've prepared some pills

that could help Senior Tingyan restore her cultivation.

It's too bitter.

Grandmaster, good medicine is always bitter.

She'll understand.

Redo them.

But Grandmaster,

that means taking your blood again.

Your blood is so precious.

Isn't that wasteful?

I'll do my best.

My lord,

our men searched the entire city,

but there's no sign of Shi Qianlv.

Then search the other cities.

Leave no stone unturned.

Drag that scoundrel out at all costs.

Yes, my lord.

Hongluo has returned safely.

Ruling,

wait for me.

Come, let's move.

Eat more. It's good for your health.

I've never had this in the Celestial Crane City before.

If paired with Rouge Terrace's homemade brew,

it'd be perfect.

You're a kid. You can't drink.

But honestly, everything Sima Jiao prepared here

suits my taste.

I almost mistook you for Sima Jiao

when you dressed like this.

I mean,

you're just as dashing as him.

Am I making it worse?

It's fine.

I know you're trying to compliment me.

Always running your mouth.

Yan.

What do you want to eat, Yan?

I'll make it for you.

We have a full table here.

Those coarse flatbreads you made in the Celestial Crane City,

honestly, Yan doesn't like them.

She only ate them to fill her hunger.

When it comes to food,

Sima Jiao knows Yan's taste better than you.

That's nonsense.

Hongluo, you know

Feng Qi dislikes Sima Jiao,

but keep provoking him.

It's fun, though.

Yan,

I can cook a lot of things

like sliced knuckle in brown sauce, ice cream, and pastries.

Name anything.

Really?

If you have such skills,

it's a shame to serve as a guard in Rouge Terrace.

My mother said

even the best cooking

loses its charm

if used for business.

Your mother mustn't have been an ordinary person, right?

The food you mentioned

isn't even seen in the Demon Realm,

let alone tasted.

Right.

Are you actually from a noble family?

I wish I were.

Then I wouldn't need to struggle to scrape by.

True.

If I were noble,

with ample wealth and leisure,

I'd have lived in seclusion long ago,

far from these troubles.

Where would you hide?

That's a secret between Yan and me.

Yan,

do you still want to go to Grain Rain Vale?

I must uncover the truth first.

You scared me.

Why are you two here?

I came out to find my father.

Once I know the truth, I'll come back.

Why should we stay here

when you've already left?

What matters now is how we leave.

I say we fly out using spells.

No.

Sima Jiao is strong.

If he senses our energy, we're doomed.

Then how do you think

we can avoid those guards?

Try a doghole.

I'm not crawling through that.

They sure have the guts to slack off

under the Grandmaster's rule.

Heaven is on our side.

Let's go.

Move.

Quick.

Feng Qi has taken the Frost Fish away

from Sima Jiao?

Yes.

Our men have been watching

his every move.

They saw Feng Qi take Shi Yan

and a child

into Zhenshi Inn.

Make the arrangements now.

This is the perfect time to act.

Yes, Preceptor.

Did Sima Jiao know we've escaped?

Is he upset or furious?

Forget it.

I can't even figure out my own affairs.

Why worry about him?

Grandmaster,

I've refined the cleansing pills for Ms. Yan.

They're all sweet.

But now that she's gone,

how will we give them to her?

You're dismissed.

Yes, Grandmaster.

Who sent you?

Preceptor.

Why take her?

I don't know.

Does Feng Qi know of this?

No.

Why did the Preceptor of the Demon Realm need Tingyan?

Why did I sleep so deeply yesterday?

Because someone cast a fainting spell on you.

Bi'an?

Why am I back here?

What do you mean?

The innkeeper of Zhenshi Inn

tampered with the incense in your room,

attempting to abduct you all in your sleep.

Fortunately, Grandmaster arrived in time.

Where are Hongluo and Feng Qi?

Don't worry, Ms. Yan.

Grandmaster knows you care about them.

He rescued them as well.

Ms. Yan, you worry about everyone else,

but not about Grandmaster.

I feel bad for him.

I'm confused about what's real

and what's false,

and I don't know how to face him either.

Forget about those.

True feelings can't be faked, can they?

Ms. Yan, look at this.

These are the cleansing pills

Grandmaster made for you

with his own blood.

They help raise your cultivation

and enhance your health.

Sima Jiao must know

that if my cultivation grows stronger,

I can enter the Soul Manor to find out the truth of the past.

Is he not afraid I'll find it out?

If what he said is real,

doesn't that mean my father was lying?

Has my entire life

been nothing but a lie?

Liao Tingyan is wearing

such a powerful defensive artifact?

Indeed.

It contains Sima Jiao's spiritual power.

I believe

Sima Jiao fused his heart-protecting bone

into it.

Preceptor,

if she keeps that,

then even if

Feng Qi brings her to us,

we can't do anything.

Such an artifact can't simply be taken by force.

We must think of a way

to make her remove the anklet herself.

Have you found anything

about Shi Qianlv?

Yes, Preceptor.

We discovered that Shi Qianlv once used

the Soul Cleanse on his own sister

and sent her to Sima Jiao

trying to create a misunderstanding,

but to no avail.

Soul Cleanse?

I didn't expect him to be skilled in this secret art.

Where is he now?

He's hiding in a remote house,

barely surviving.

It's time to put Shi Qianlv to use.

Since Qiandu's soul has been searched,

why has Sima Jiao made no move?

Seems like Liao Tingyan hasn't acted yet.

Useless fool.

Is the Shi family

going to ruin?

Sect Master Shi,

please come with us.

I knew you'd come.

Sect Master Shi, you remain so composed even in hardship.

You truly take after your master, the Lord of Slack,

calm and clear-minded.

Calm and clear-minded?

What use is that?

I'm still ruined at the hands

of the former Demon Lord.

Forgive me, Sect Master Shi.

I only managed to invite you

to my residence now.

You must've suffered in the mountains.

No need to apologize.

Just speak plainly.

I heard you practice a secret spell,

the Soul Cleanse.

I need you

to lure your daughter, Shi Yan, out.
(Watch on www.kisskh.do to support Admin)

With the help of this secret spell,

we could cut Sima Jiao down in one strike.

You wish to use her against Sima Jiao as well?

Perhaps you've heard

I once tried this art on my sister

to drive the two apart,

but

I failed.

The situation is different now.

This time, with the aid of the Demon Realm,

things will surely turn out differently.

By then, you can avenge your grievances,

and the Demon Realm will help you rebuild your sect.

Preceptor,

it's not hard

to lure her out.

But there must be a bait.

Good.

I already have someone

in mind.

Grandmaster,

Ms. Yan has accepted those pills.

Did you say anything to her?

No.

Sima Jiao.

Do you mean to confine Yan for life?

Do you think that's how you could win her heart?

All you can think about

is how to win her heart.

No wonder you're being used without even knowing it.

What do you mean?

That Zhenshi Inn you stayed at

was a trap.

Someone wanted to abduct Ms. Yan

in her sleep.

Fortunately, Grandmaster rescued Ms. Yan,

so she's safe.

Yet you still haven't realized where the problem is.

Whoever harms her,

I'll kill them.

Entering the Soul Manor

is the only way to find out what happened back then.

That also prevents Sima Jiao from losing too much blood.

I made it.

Where should I begin?

I'll take time to learn about the rest.

Show me the past with my brother.

Sima Jiao,

you're despicable.

You actually let this demon wench kill me!

You think you two can stay together forever?

You're courting death.

Your love bond will be severed by the way of heaven!

No!

No, I don't want.

No.

No, I...

Aunt's memory doesn't match mine at all.

Was I the one who killed Zhenxu?

And the way he insults me

doesn't sound like family,

more like an enemy.

So the truth I've believed all along

was twisted.

I was never part of the Shi family.

That so-called father conspired

with Aunt to deceive me,

so they could use me against Sima Jiao.

Even Shi Qiandu's death

might have been part of their scheme.

Is this also a part of my Soul Manor?

Feels like it hides some great secret.

Fried chicken!

Then this must be my Soul Manor.

[Liao Tingyan]
Sima Jiao. Huge jerk. Scum.

No way!

The one who dated Sima Jiao

was actually me.

It can't be.

It's come to this crazy point?

Was I seriously thinking about proposing to him?

Did I really

love him more than he loved me?

What are you looking at?

Why are you so nervous?

Anything wrong with these two rings?

Nothing.

Wait.

Why are you here?

I came to find you.

I noticed you look absent-minded.

I fear the pills may leave ill effects on you,

causing you to lose your way,

so I came.

How can you say that as if it were only natural?

Go out.

Looks like this is a gift for me,

right?

How did you know?

Because it fits me perfectly.

You're quick to assume.

See this?

Yes.

I know

you once liked me,

and you still do.

You rely on me,

believe me,

and are willing to stay with me.

Because that's who you are,

so I am.

Just to be clear.

They aren't wedding rings.

They're couple rings.

Couple?

Then,

am I

your boy...

boyfriend now?

Don't rush it.

Let me get used to it first.

Don't you believe me yet?

I do. I do.

Everything in my Soul Manor is solid proof

telling me I'm Liao Tingyan.

♪Turns to dust between my fingers in an instant♪

♪When the line between good and evil is clear♪

♪Countless souls drift into the boundless wilds♪

♪Carrying the spirit fire forward...♪

Of course, you're Liao Tingyan.

But now I start to doubt...

♪Like heavy rain pouring down...♪

that maybe Liao Tingyan isn't really you.

From the moment I saw you,

you've been the same.

♪Upending a lifetime...♪

No matter what name you go by,

I won't mistake you for anyone else.

♪Through all lifetimes♪

I won't make this mistake

because I'm smart.

But if you do,

I won't be surprised.

If you keep teasing me,

I won't be Liao Tingyan anymore.

You arrive on time, Mr. Feng.

Mr. Ghost,

why did you ask for me?

I have a plan to discuss with you.

A plan?

Pardon my bold guess.

What happened in Zhenshi Inn

was your doing, right?

You urged me to bring Yan out

and planted a spy in Zhenshi Inn

beforehand.

The moment we stepped into Zhenshi Inn,

everything was part of your plan.

What exactly do you want with Yan?

You're clever, Mr. Feng.

I'll be honest with you.

We only want that Frost Fish to return to her duty.

I wonder if you're willing to work with us.

We help you regain her memory,

and you help us use her to kill Sima Jiao.

It's simple.

Just convince Shi Yan

to remove her defensive anklet.

Pardon me, I refuse.

I take my leave.

Refuse all you like.

When that Frost Fish

has fully turned to Sima Jiao,

I hope you won't regret it.

You!

Preceptor.

Feng Qi refuses

to cooperate with us.

What do we do?

He hesitated just now.

There's still a chance.

Grandmaster.

You're back.

Have you found Shi Qianlv?

Forgive me, Grandmaster.

I couldn't locate him.

We searched the entire Demon Realm,

but there was no sign of him.

However, we found traces of where he once hid

in a remote house,

but that's the last trail we found.

In that case,

someone must be helping him hide.

But the Shi family has lost the people's trust.

Who would still help him?

Those who wish me ill.

Who is so blind?

You're now revered by all the people.

By your order,

I rescued many from the Celestial Palace

along the way.

I've heard countless praises

for your rule over the Demon Realm.

What use are those vanities for?

Do you mean to seek the heart of the very one,

rather than the hearts of all?

Hongluo has revived.

Why are you still standing here?

Thank you, Grandmaster.

I shall take my leave.

In just one night,

I've turned into my old self.

In just one night, enemies became lovers.

Hongluo.

How should I face Sima Jiao?

Treat him as a lover,

or a cultivation partner?

That's too fast.

Haven't you found your identity?

Just go to him.

I don't have memories

of being with him before.

How am I supposed to do that?

Start with dating?

Instead of fretting here,

go see him right now.

But before meeting him,

I suggest you bathe

and change your clothes.

Freshen yourself up

before going.

Ruling.

Ruling.

You're

the black serpent lord?

Ruling, I'm back.

Ruling, I...

Are you trying to say

that I'm the Ruling you once knew?

Yes.

And that I was your lover?

Yes.

If you don't believe me...

I do.

Really?

But...

But?

You're a stranger to me now.

Do you expect me

to resume what we once had?

Then tell me,

that night at Rouge Terrace,

why did you purposely dance in front of me

and later

wait for me in the room?

Because I wanted to absorb your cultivation.

What else could it be?

Forget it.

Let's not bring this up again.

That day is my death anniversary.

Not a good memory.

Ruling,

I'm sorry.

I failed to protect you.

It's not your fault.

We never really knew each other.

Well,

I have nothing more to do

with the Ruling of the past.

So, Lord Hei,

please leave me alone.

There's no way to force someone to love you.

Say,

my name is Hongluo.

Don't get it wrong again.

Isn't this the cold pond?

The water temperature is just right.
