[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 17]

I, Fei Tianqing,

the fifth-generation steward of the Wangquan Manor,

am not competent enough

and can only walk you so far, Master.

I didn't fail the Wangquan family after all.

Rumu,

she's the one you kept telling me about—

Long Weiyun.

Young Master Fugui,

your spiritual power…

is running low.

It took me so much effort

to get this body you care so much about.

How could I possibly give up?

You once said

you would never bow to threats, right?

Well then,

what if I use this body

to kill your woman

and your cousin?

Would there still be

no hatred in your heart?

Rumu!

Young Master Rumu!

Since your cousin

can't feel the hatred in his heart,

then…

you'll die first!

Weiyun,

if this were in the past,

I wouldn't have minded if you killed me.

But not this time.

Fugui. Rumu,

I've only trapped her temporarily.

To purge the Black Fox's demonic aura from her body,

she has to do it herself.

Let me try.

I'll use my spider silk to enter her consciousness

and try to wake her up.

Be careful. Okay.

Don't worry.

Long Weiyun.

Long Weiyun.

Long Weiyun.

I don't want to owe you.

I don't want to owe you.

I don't want to owe you.

I don't want to owe you.

I don't want to owe you.

Long Weiyun.

I don't want to owe you.

Long Weiyun.

Long Weiyun…

I don't want to owe you.

Oh no.

In her consciousness,

I can't touch her.

Quan Rumu,

I've searched the Human and Demon Realms both

and still found no way to save you.

Why?

I don't want to owe you.

Long Weiyun,

Young Master Rumu isn't dead.

He's right outside.

If you come out with me,

you'll see him.

Long Weiyun.

Long Weiyun. Qingtong,

time is running out.

Wake her up quickly.

"Having basked in morning dew,

Rumu could die at dusk without regret."

Rumu?

Young Master Fugui. Yes?

What does this mean?

Why is Young Master Rumu's

name on it?

"Having basked in morning dew, one could die at dusk without regret."

It's like these little flowers—

once the most beautiful rain has touched their petals,

it no longer matters how long they live.

Young Master Rumu wrote this?

So,

this line is

about his story?

Quan Rumu...

I don't want to owe you.

I don't want to owe you.

"Having basked in morning dew,

Rumu could die at dusk without regret."

"Having basked in morning dew,

Rumu could die at dusk without regret."

"Having basked in morning dew,

Rumu could die at dusk without regret."

"Having basked in morning dew…"

"Having basked…"

"Having basked in morning dew…"

"Rumu can die…

at dusk without regret."

Long Weiyun.

Long Weiyun.

Who are you?

What does this poem mean?

"Having basked in morning dew,

one could die at dusk without regret."

Long Weiyun,

Young Master Rumu was never dead.

What's more,

he never once hated you.

Morning dew…

Rumu…

He actually never hated me?

How could there be such a fool in this world?

Long Weiyun.

Your love and hate

shouldn't be controlled by someone else.

I am Long Weiyun, a True Dragon.

How could I let

an evil creature like you decide who I hate or love?

Black Fox,

you're not

escaping today.

This is impossible.

I'm a clone of Madam, born from pure hatred.

I have no physical form.

How could you possibly catch me?

Are you her only clone

in the circle?

Why would I tell you Madam's secret?

I know what you're thinking.

You want to save

that cold and heartless father of yours, don't you?

How laughable.

The world has failed you,

and you still want to turn back?

You're such a fool.

Wangquan Fugui, listen well.

Those who love are destined to be let down.

Only hatred

is eternal.

Wangquan Fugui,

you can't escape from Madam.

Well,

look.

It's almost dawn.

Lately,

every time I fall asleep,

I'm afraid

I won't see the sun rise again.

Weiyun,

you'll watch the sunrise

with me, won't you?

You always told me

to keep moving forward.

Since that's the case,

tell me—

how did

the Black Fox take over your body?

And why

did you come to Luming Valley?

Does it really matter?

It does.

I wanted to bring you back to life.

I didn't want to owe you.

I've traveled all over the Human and Demon Realms,

but every healer I saw said the same thing—

you were beyond saving.

They say,

don't force what fate has not allowed.

My asthma—

if not for you,

I wouldn't have lasted long anyway.

Quan Rumu,

remember this:

you can die from asthma

but not from trying to save me.

Later,

that evil creature came to me.

It said there was a way to save you.

Since you and Wangquan Fugui are related,

if I took his sword meridian

and used it to reconnect your broken meridians,

you could live.

And you believed such a lie?

Everyone in the dragon clan is trained in medicine.

The moment it said it,

I knew it was true.

It's just I'd never thought of it before.

You know me.

You know

I'd never accept that.

Of course I know.

But deep down, a voice told me

that maybe

I could kill that person

and force you to accept it.

Maybe...

I could finally repay everything I owe you.

And from then on,

we'd be even.

That's how...

that evil thing took over my body.

Weiyun,

as you know,

I…

I know what you want to say.

You never once resented me.

Everything you did for me...

you did willingly.

But Quan Rumu,

by now you should know

what your deranged father

did to my mother.

The depth of my hatred for him

is matched only by the pain

your kindness causes me.

Some rifts in this world

just can't be bridged.

So, Rumu,

let me go

and move on.

I owe Wangquan Fugui a debt.

My dragon scale is proof.

He may ask one favor of me.

No matter what it is,

I will see it done.

Young Master Fugui,

do you think

the knot between them

could be untied if Quan Jingting

were dead?

There's another way to resolve this.

But the time isn't right yet.

Fugui.

I'll help you send the Black Fox back.

You must never return

to the Wangquan Manor.

What suppresses and binds the Black Fox

is the power of my Dongfang Blood.

Once it leaves my control,

you won't be able to suppress it.

Fine.

Then send the Black Fox

near the Wangquan Manor.

Leave the rest to me.

Young Master.

Young Master.

-Mr. Fei? -I finally found you.

Mr. Fei?

What's wrong? Young Master,

there are a few words I must say to you alone.

Young Master,

I finally saw you again.

Mr. Fei,

what happened to you?

Mr. Fei!

Master...

Mr. Fei,

don't talk yet.

I already know.

Young Master,

the sword...

take it.

Young Master,

I

won't make it.

Mr. Fei,

that's nonsense.

Hang in there.

Young Master,

don't blame Master.

He has his own burdens to bear.

I understand.

Good.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Even with countless burdens,

Madam,

Master,

and I

all just want you…

to find happiness in the end.

I've always known—

you care for me the most.

The spring flowers on the hills are so fragrant.

The sorbet in summer is sweet.

Autumn fruits are all over the mountain.

And in winter, nothing beats a pot of warm wine.

All these things...

Young Master,

you must

try them all.

Young Master Fugui,

y-you were so well-fed

when you were little.

Why have you

become so thin?

Mr. Fei,

since I was little,

you've always cared for me the most.

In this life, I have no way to repay you.

So in the next life…

let me serve you well.

Fugui,

we're close to the manor now.

Give that evil thing to me.

I can keep it under control.

Will you come back?

Of course I will.

I will come back.

No, you won't.

You just want to go back and die with Quan Jingting.

That way, Long Weiyun could move on,

and you'd pay for Quan Jingting's sins

with your own life.

Am I right?

But Rumu,

you're his son,

and you're also my dear cousin.

None of this is your fault.

Fugui, you…

He's noisy.

I've sealed his acupoints.

Keep a close eye on him.

Young Master Fugui,

I know I can't go with you.

But you're going there alone…

Don't worry.

I've already contacted the Li Family of Peach Garden.

They've rallied several prestigious families.

They'll be here soon.

Qingtong,

after I leave,

take Rumu to the Cold Pool first

and then return here

to meet up with me.

Young Master Fugui,

promise me

you'll be careful on your own.

I will be here

waiting for you to return.

Don't worry.

[Wangquan Manor]

All of you—

your spiritual power has been sealed,

your swords confiscated,

and you haven't

eaten for five days.

What?

Still not giving in?

Fine.

Let's see

how long you can hold out.

Let's go.

Senior Fugui.

Where is Master?

In the Sword Tomb.

And Quan Jingting?

He left.

It seems he went after someone.

He still hasn't come back.

He must've gone after Mr. Fei.

Didn't Mr. Fei get locked up in the Sword Tomb too?

He escaped?

He gave you your sword?

Junior Feng,

you stay here with all the disciples.

Li Muhai should be here soon.

Yes.

Be careful.

Father.

I came too late.

You've suffered a lot.

Everything's ready.

Please come with me to the main hall.

Right now, most people in the Yiqi Alliance

are Quan Jingting's men.

It's useless

to return now.

Please trust me just this once.

That sword essence…

[Heaven and Earth Hall]

[Exterminate All Demons]

Master Quan is here.

Cousin,

what's the meaning of this?

I left to suppress demons,

and you used the chance to summon back your traitor son.

What are you plotting?

Quan Jingting.

Don't forget.

As long as I, Wangquan Hongye, draw breath,

I remain the Chief of the Yiqi Alliance.

Everyone,

Wangquan Hongye can be here,

but are you really going to let the Soldier,

who betrayed the Yiqi Alliance for demons,

stand beneath this plaque?

[Exterminate All Demons] That day,

in front of all of us, the Soldier

abandoned his sword and walked away.

We were all there. We saw it.

Exactly.

He can't be here.

"Exterminate All Demons."

What we must exterminate now

is you, a deceitful

and truth-twisting fiend!

Enough, Young Master Li.

Your father may have lost both legs,

but he was still Wangquan Hongye's accomplice

in the deaths of so many young masters.

He's been playing the victim for years,

and you actually believed it?

The Black Fox

doesn't even exist.

Quan Jingting,

you claim the Black Fox doesn't exist?

[Exterminate All Demons]

[Exterminate All Demons]

[Exterminate All Demons]

[Exterminate All Demons]

[Exterminate All Demons]

Weird.

Yes.

Everyone,

this is nothing but an illusion he cast with sorcery.

He has already colluded with demons.

Not a single word he says can be trusted!

That…

Yes.

Quan Jingting!

You're full of lies, and you caused Mr. Fei's death.

Today,

I'll make you pay with your blood!

You have a death wish.

All of you, step back.

[Exterminate All Demons]

[Exterminate All Demons]

He...

He's actually…

That must be it.

He is a demon.

Yes.

It's him.

Quan Jingting,

as expected,

you are a demon.

Wangquan Fugui,

you really think this will destroy us?

If the Yiqi Alliance

cannot serve Madam,

then you all

have to die.

Kill!

[Exterminate All Demons]

The prophecy is real.

The prophecy is real!

What are you all doing?

The Soldier just proved the Black Fox exists.

When the Black Fox

possessed you,

he was the one who saved you!

Not only that—

he proved himself

to be the very one

foretold in Third Young Master's prophecy

who'd unleash the Heaven-and-Earth Strike to break the circle.

That was the first time he'd unleashed it,

and it was already so powerful.

We cannot let him live to endanger the human race.

That's right. We can't take that risk.

If he can unleash the Heaven-and-Earth Strike,

one day he will break the circle.

That's right.

The Yiqi Alliance cannot tolerate such a threat.

Right.

He burned his life with his spiritual blood.

His heart blood is already drained.

Do you

have any conscience?

Chief,

just now, we were blinded by lies,

believed Quan Jingting's slanders,

and wronged you.

But

it's because Quan Jingting was possessed by the Black Fox

that such chaos erupted.

If one day,

as the rumors say, the Soldier himself

is possessed by the Black Fox...

The Soldier

will never be possessed by the Black Fox!

Not today.

But what about tomorrow? Or the day after?

If one day,

the Soldier does turn to the Black Fox,

who among us here today

could possibly resist his Heaven-and-Earth Strike?

All of you

turned against the Soldier when countless swords

pierced his heart.

That's why you're scared now.

You... Everyone…

what the Soldier has done today

restores honor to the Chief's name.

It is touching

and commendable.

But what Master Ximen said

has a point.

We can't ignore Third Young Master's prophecy.

The Soldier has now unleashed the Heaven-and-Earth Strike.

Chief is his father,

so his feelings are understandable.

But

as the Chief of the Yiqi Alliance,

you should put

the good of all

before family ties.

Chief, you should put the good of all

before family ties.

You're...

you're forcing me!

Step aside! All of you!

Master.

I have something to tell you.

I'm Wangquan Fugui.

Greetings, Master.

Fugui,

ignore them.

Let's go.

Father, I'm bidding you farewell.

But before I leave,

I have to finish one thing.

The Wangquan family

must not fail the people of this world.

Today,

I'll remove the Soldier's sword meridian

to prevent future troubles!

I've made up my mind.

Do it now.
