How dare you demon!

Surrender now!

Master!

Please spare my life!

For the sake of my thousands of years of cultivation

please forgive me!

You may have cultivated for a millennium

but you've done no good deeds or accumulated virtue.

Instead, you've brought harm to the common people.

I won't spare you today.

Master!

Master!

Master!

Look at me.

I've been practicing for thousands of years.

Master!

I promise you.

I'm willing to do good and accumulate virtue!

I'm willing to turn over a new leaf!

Master!

Are you really willing to turn over a new leaf?

I do!

Master!

Please spare me!

You...

Just let me go.

Master!

I won't let you live!

Master!

This demon has a change of mind!

A demon is a demon!

There's no turning over a new leaf!

Move!

Get him! Get him!

You foolish disciple!

You let the demons go!

Our Jianshan Sect

upholds the justice of heaven and earth,

subduing demons in the mortal world.

As the best disciple of my sect,

how can you not know the danger of the demons?

How can you show mercy to them?

I admit my guilt.

I'm willing to atone with my death!

The Master of the Nine Hells in his current state

can't do evil either.

However, one Nuwa's Butian Stone remains missing in the mortal realm.

If the Master of the Nine Hells finds this Butian Stone

the spirit will gather again

and harm the mortal world.

I order you to go to the mortal world

to find the residual soul and Butian Stone of the Master of the Nine Hells

and eliminate this threat for good.

As you command!

[Snake Sisters: The Demon Hunter's Chronicle]

This place is shrouded in demonic aura...

Yet there's also a faint trace of spiritual energy.

It's really strange.

Maybe I thought too much.

Mengsheng!

Where have you been?

I was looking for you.

I lured him away.

Did everything go well? Who was it?

It was the one peeping by the lake.

What?

How dare he follow me?

I'll teach him a lesson!

Calm down.

And he's not an ordinary person.

He is a demon hunter.

What?

Mengsheng!

Are you alright?

Were you hurt?

I'm fine.

What if he comes back?

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

Mengsheng.

Why don't we just leave the mountain?

You...

You only want to go down the mountain.

Mengsheng.

Ever since I cultivated this human form

I seldom went down the mountain.

I know.

It's because of Ian Xue.

You're afraid...

I'll also lose my way.

I want to see the outside world.

And Granny from the village down the mountain...

We haven't seen each other for a long time.

I miss her so much.

We are cultivators of the Way.

Devoting ourselves to cultivation is our duty.

We cannot be overly greedy for mortal pleasures.

Cultivation is the right way.

But I want to be a person of flesh and blood

with all human emotions and desires.

So I'm different from Ian Xue.

Mengsheng.

I know you're doing this for my own good.

But

our cultivation in this mountain has stalled.

We aren't making any more significant progress.

If we go to the human world, we can treat it as a trial cave

just seeking improvement.

Who's to say we won't benefit?

Isn't that right?

The mortal world is no different from the Demon Realm.

There are good people and bad people.

Mengsheng.

Currently, for hundreds of miles around

there are no more demons.

Who's to say they haven't all gone

to wreak havoc in the human world?

If what you said is true.

Forget it.

If you want to go, I'll listen to you once.

Let's go and see the world.

But first of all,

we can't be too involved in mortal affairs.

Let's do something different this time.

Let's open a tavern

to see different people and things.

We can even earn some wine money...

And then perform good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Let's do as you say.

Candied haws!

Have one!

[Lingering Fragrance Tavern]

Candied haws!

Sir!

A seat please.

Sorry, sir.

There are no seats here.

There's a spot over there.

Brother, might we share your table?

Judging from his appearance,

you are knowledgeable.

Do you know

the Butian Stone in this picture?

Wait!

Stop!

My young master is calling you!

What?

What do I usually tell you lot?

How have you been educated?

Where is he?

He left.

He's gone.

Young master, let's go.

Let's go.

Be careful, Young Master.

Boss!

Where is he?

Young master, let's sit there.

Move!

Bring us your finest wine and dishes!

Sir,

what would you like to eat?

This lady is the boss?

May I know your name?

- Do you want to drink with me? - Let go!

Molesting women in broad daylight!

Is there any law?

Law?

In Jinshan Town

I'm the law!

Sir, there's no need for such courtesy.

To recognize a fault and correct it is a great virtue.

What?

Courtesy?

I'm not being courteous!

Beat him!

Go!

Well done!

Well done!

My apologies for the disturbance.

Your meals today are on the house.

Consider it my way of making amends.

Great!

Alright, everyone, back to your business.

Listen!

Tonight, take a team of men

and trash this place for me!

You hear me?

Got it!

Master.

Thank you for saving me.

It was nothing.

But...

I have a small favor to ask.

Please go ahead.

I want to stay overnight.

Why should I let you stay?

This is a tavern, not an inn!

I do not mean to impose on you both.

It's just that the demonic aura in this area is overwhelming.

- I'm afraid... - What demon?

Miss, are you alright?

I'm fine.

However, the tavern's rooms are quite humble.

I hope you don't mind.

I...

I'll come back later.

Hero!

Take it!

Mengsheng!

He is a demon hunter.

How can you promise him?

Hero.

It's almost dawn.

Why are you still here?

You are really haunting.

To be honest,

I like the Book of Immortals.

I read a lot of books

and I found that the Butian Stone of Nuwa

is in Jinshan Town.

Earlier, you seemed to recognize this stone.

Do you know where it is?

I don't know.

You'd better go back first.

Hero, your skills are impressive.

Why don't you be my bodyguard?

Let's

travel the world together,

and search for this Butian Stone.

Someone is here.

It's those people in the morning.

You two

stay right here.

Yes, sir!

You two go over there!

Go!

Go over there.

Come back!

Go over there!

My little beauty.

Here I come!

What are you doing?

Useless fools!

Ghost!

What's going on?

Open the door!

Ghost!

Open the door!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Open the door!

Ghost!

Mengsheng.

They're scared off.

What's wrong?

Help!

Help!

We're not opening!

I don't want to stay in the mortal world anymore!

What?

Didn't you want to

to practice in the mortal world?

It's only been a few days

and you've changed your mind already?

There are fun and delicious food in the mortal world.

But those mortals are so annoying!

They said they came to drink.

But they just stare and stare and stare at me!

I feel like gouging their eyes out!

Especially that Zhao TianBa!

He's always haunting us!

What are you talking about?

Qing,

you need to control your temper.

We came to the human world to experience worldly affairs

not to fight and kill.

If you don't want to open a tavern

we won't open it.

Didn't you say you miss your Granny a few days ago?

How about in a few days

we going to visit her.

Yes! Okay!

Speaking of Granny.

Mengsheng.

I heard something.

Lately

from Jinshan Town to Xu Jiagou,

many people have died for no reason.

And...

They're all strong, young men.

Do you think it could be...

You think it's Ian Xue?

But I don't think Sister Xue...

I mean, she has always...

fed on human essence to cultivate.

I don't think she did it.

Ian Xue can never let go

of these so-called shortcuts.

If she goes on like this

she won't achieve immortality.

Instead, she'll face the dire consequences of her actions.

Someone broke in.

Mr. Pei.

Didn't you say...

You'd invite me for tea?

Why are we playing hide-and-seek?

Mr. Pei.

Come out!

Mr. Pei.

Why hide?

On such a lovely night...

Why don't you keep me company, little brother?

Don't worry, I won't take your life.

Ian Xue, what are you trying to do?

Bai Mengsheng!

You think just because you absorbed the essence of the Butian Stone,

and became a spirit, human, then you're superior to me now?

That you have more compassion and integrity than I do?

But have you ever thought about Xiao Qing and I?

Xiao Qing and I...

We became spirits by feeding on the thousand-year Lingzhi!

If I don't feed on human energy,

should I eat you instead?

Xiao Qing has already learned the method of breath circulation.

She can prolong her life without absorbing spiritual energy.

Lanxue, stop harming people!

Learn to be a human with me!

Be a human?

You mean be like Zhao Tianba?

In this world,

there are more evil people than good!

I don't want to be a human!

Forget it if you don't want to be human.

But you promised me you wouldn't hurt anyone.

I used to consider you a sister!

You gave up being a demon

and insist on being an ugly person!

Bai Mengsheng!

Do you really think you're the eldest sister?

I never killed anyone!

Why are you pushing me too far?

How dare you collude with outsiders to bully me?

Let's go!

I'm going to kill him!

How dare you bully me for him?

Our years of friendship mean less than him to you?

Fine!

I'll destroy your Butian Stone in Xu Jiagou.

Let's see how you prolong your life then!

Young Master.

Thank you for saving me.

Hero!

Help!

Hero!

Help!

Help!

The demons in the town killed people!

Will you protect me?

Aren't you looking for the Butian Stone?

Let's go to Xu Jiagou.

Xu Jiagou?

Butian Stone?

Hero, wait for me!

Zhao TianBa, go to Xu Jiagou

and find the Butian Stone!

Yes, sir!

Yes, My lord!

Understood!

[Ian Xue's Temple]

I did everything you asked, I didn't harm anyone...

Xiao Bai!

I will make you regret!

Hero,

how do you know the Butian Stone is in Xu Jiagou?

Sister.

Look.

It's them again.

Yes.

We met again.

Sister,

do you think

the man in grey

is handsome?

But he's always clumsy.

Like a...

Like a blockhead!

Keep your voice down, they might hear you.

But I actually think

that young master, even though he's a demon hunter,

he seems even more wooden.

Two idiot!

Why are you two still here?

Don't be rude.

Thank you for saving me last night.

Please take a rest at my humble house.

Aren't you leaving?

Miss Bai is back!

Miss Bai.

This is Xu Jiagou.

The villagers are very enthusiastic.

You can rest here.

Miss Bai.

Miss Bai is back.

Morning, Granny.

Is the Butian Stone here?

Since we are here, we might as well settle in.

Let's go with them.

I heard you saved Mengsheng.

Thank you so much.

Granny.

It was the right thing to do.

That's what I should do.

That girl Mengsheng,

she's so kind-hearted.

For our village,

she went to that town

to open a tavern

and earn money

for the villagers.

And she buys medicine and seeds for everyone in our village.

Please have some tea.

She's really gone through a lot of trouble

for our village.

Granny, you should go out and rest for a while.

Our remote village is quite poor,

please make do with what we have.

Thank you, Granny.

Come on.

Let me tell you something.

He's a priest.

I heard he saved you.

He knows you?

Probably.

She's a good match for you.

Look.

I told you you like Miss Bai.

There's a clear understanding.

Do you know?

It's from the Airs of the States, in the Classic of Poetry.

Kuaifeng section.

And this poem has eight variations, you know?

Do you know?

Of course.

In the lowlands, the carambola tree grows.

So graceful and supple are its boughs.

So tender, so glossy in the glade.

How I envy it, free from knowledge's weight!

In the lowlands, the carambola tree grows.

So graceful and fair are its blossoms.

So tender, so vibrant in the light.

How I envy it, free from family's plight!

In the lowlands, the carambola tree grows.

So graceful and full are its fruits.

So tender, so lush hanging low.

How I envy it, free from household's woe!

In the lowlands, the carambola tree grows.

So graceful and ripe are its berries.

So tender, so rich on the vine.

How I envy it, free from passion's design!

Wrong!

That's wrong.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

I don't think so. Where?

Where?

You played it wrong.

Is this how it's played?

Did I play it wrong?

Is it safe here?

Don't worry, Mengsheng.

No one ever pays attention to this well.

It's definitely safe.

A well?

There's a noise outside. I'll go take a look.

The demon is here!

The demon is here!

Run!

Run, hurry!

Wait for me!

The demon is here!

The demon is here!

Come here!

Hurry up!

Ian Xue!

How dare you come here?

You brought all these people

to boost your courage?

Bai Mengsheng.

You colluded with outsiders to ambush me.

Today, I'll pay you back.

This has nothing to do with the villagers.

Let's settle it outside the village.

Since she's stubborn,

don't waste words on her.

Don't say that.

After all, we were once sisters.

No need to put on such a show.

Bai Mengsheng,

We've been together for hundreds of years.

Is my character

really so unworthy of your trust?

You believe everything from others;

But you don't believe me at all.

Bai Mengsheng.

Do you even have a heart?

Xue.

I can see with my own eyes.

You've disappointed me over and over.

How am I supposed to believe you anymore?

Fine.

Forget it.

You think I take lives?

I'll show you.

Go!

Stop fighting!

You nerd.

What are you doing here? Leave now!

Be careful!

Behind you!

Stop fighting, Ian Xue.

Stop being so stubborn.

For the sake of our sisterhood,

don't fight.

Ian Xue.

As long as you don't take innocent lives,

we can still be sisters.

Bai Mengsheng.

So our sisterhood

depends on other people's lives now?

You're always dreaming of becoming human, always wanting to help them.

Have you forgotten how humans once harmed us?

But humans, like demons,

have both good and bad among them.

Enough!

I don't want to hear those moral lessons.

Since you're determined to be human,

then you be your human self and I'll be my demon self.

From now on, our ties are completely severed.

Mengsheng!

Young Master.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I didn't expect

I saved a demon again.

Mengsheng.

Have you fallen for Xu Qing?

Yesterday when he suddenly fainted,

you looked terribly anxious.

And today you went up the mountain to gather herbs.

It's so dangerous.

Was it

that obvious?

Obvious enough for even you to notice?

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more than the one in the thick of it.

I've been with you for so many years.

If I still couldn't read your heart,

wouldn't all our sisterhood have been for nothing?

I admit I do have some feelings for Xu Qing.

But

only a trace, nothing more.

Why?

Why ask when you already know the answer?

There's no chance

between him and me.

Mengsheng.

How can you give up so easily

if you don't even try?

I practice the way of immortality,

hoping only to ascend.

He practices the way of cultivation

to subdue demons and vanquish evil.

No matter what,

our paths are fundamentally different.

Mengsheng, thinking that way

is too pessimistic.

Xu Qing is human.

And you've cultivated into a human too.

What's the difference?

As long as you both continue your cultivation,

and one day achieve full merit and ascend together,

you could become an immortal couple.

Is it really possible?

Why not?

More importantly,

Xu Qing likes you too.

You both have feelings for each other.

You've just never spoken them aloud.

Wouldn't it be a pity to let it all slip away

without ever making it clear?

Rather than letting it be, it'd be better to lay everything out and make it clear.

Do you really mean that?

But if he rejects me,

I won't even have the chance to be with him.

You're overthinking again, Mengsheng.

From what I see,

Xu Qing would be overjoyed.

Hasn't he rescued you time and again

just to win your favor?

In my opinion,

you can be bold and tell him how you feel.

So,

there's no need to be nervous.

I'll be right there with you.

Qing, thank you.

I know where the Butian Stone is!

Master, if you spare my life,

I'll steal the Butian Stone back for you!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It's just a minor injury.

Young Master.

Miss Bai.

Just say whatever you want.

Our Jianshan Sect

upholds the righteous way of Heaven and Earth.

And subdues demons in the mortal world.

As my most outstanding disciple,

how can you not understand the harm demons cause?

How can you be merciful to them?

Master.

She is a demon.

But she is a good girl.

Mengsheng.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Nothing.

Is it that blockhead Xu Qing

who upset you?

That young master

is so ungrateful.

Let me teach him a lesson for you.

No.

It doesn't matter.

What are you doing?

Granny.

I was just passing by.

I came to get some water.

What happened?

Granny!

Mengsheng.

You'll hurt yourself!

Someone stole your treasure.

The Butian Stone is missing!

Ian Xue?

It must be her!

Stop right there!

Mengsheng.

She's impatient.

Qing.

Listen to Mengsheng.

You all know they are demons?

All we know

is that Mengsheng and Qing

have protected our shabby little village.

For hundreds of years,

whether they're human

or demons,

they've been our saviors.

What difference

does it make what they are?

Granny.

Go and have a good rest.

You'll recover in a few days.

Come on.

Granny, slow down.

You stay here and protect the village.

I'm going to find Ian Xue and get to the bottom of this.

If she's harmed Granny, I won't let it go.

I want to go too.

Stop messing around.

Okay.

Miss Bai.

Let me help you.

Thank you, Master.

If you intend

to subdue me, please wait

until we get our revenge.

Let me heal her first.

You're only a mortal.

If you eat it now,

your body will burst and you'll die.

You have to wait for the right time.

Yes, My Lord.

Young Master, thanks for your help.

This is simply what I should do.

Qing, make sure to protect the village

from any demon attacks.

I'm going to Ian Xue's cave.

Okay.

Go after her!

Hurry!

Does Xu Qing

not know

that Mengsheng has always liked him?

Actually, Xu Qing

likes Miss Bai too, doesn't he?

If they like each other,

why aren't they together?

Why make everything so complicated?

Probably because they keep bringing up

the whole 'humans and demons are different' thing.

Are you afraid that I'm a demon?

No.

I'm not afraid.

Why did you save me?

How do you humans

tell good people from bad ones?

Those who do evil are bad people.

We are born of the essence of heaven and earth,

and transformed into demons.

Most of us retreat deep into the mountains and live freely.

Only a few harm others.

So why is it that the moment humans hear the word 'demon, '

they rush to kill?

Master said

Those not of our kind can never stand with us.

I've also killed a few demons myself in the past.

But this is the first time

I've met one like Miss Bai,

a demon who's kind to humans.

So just because we're not of your kind,

our whole race must be wiped out?

Is that how you humans conduct yourselves?

Once I've taught Ian Xue a lesson,

will you come to subdue me?

I don't know.

Thank you.

What?

You've treated so many people.

Let me give you a massage.

Since I became a human,

I've been following Mengsheng in cultivation.

I've heard the capital is a world full of pleasures.

Tell me, what's it really like?

The capital?

Situated in the southeast, it is the metropolis of the Three Wus.

Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.

With misty willows and ornate bridges, wind-blocking curtains and green canopies,

there are roughly a hundred thousand households.

By the way,

there're Osmanthus in the autumn and lotus flowers stretching for ten miles.

My sister and I have cultivated for hundreds of years

to gain this human form.

I don't know how many more years it will take

before I can enter the capital

and see its splendor.

Qing.

Come home with me.

What?

Come home with me.

I'll show you the splendor of the capital.

No, not only the capital.

I want to take you to taste every delicacy in the human world,

and see all the world's finest sights.

Really?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Green, green the reed.

Dew and frost gleam.

You idiot.

Do you want to see me dance?

I've spared you time and again,

and you dare harm my granny?

I didn't.

You slander me like this,

what proof do you have?

Her wounds were caused by demons.

So just because of that,

you've decided it was me?

Why don't you ask her?

She's a demon too, isn't she?

Miss Bai never harms anyone.

She's a good demon.

She is a good demon.

She never harms anyone.

Then I've never killed anyone either.

So why is everyone so sure

it was me?

It wasn't you?

Do you dare say you didn't kill Zhao Tianba's servants?

Do you dare say those villagers weren't harmed by you?

I do!

You think I did it too?

Bai Mengsheng.

Right now you're neither human

nor demon.

Hoping you'd ever turn back

was nothing but my foolish fantasy.

Young Master.

Stay out of this.

Kill me.

You don't trust me after all.

Anyway,

Our thousand-year bond

was nothing but a joke after all.

Ian Xue.

Stop harming people.

Let me teach you the mental cultivation method.

Wouldn't it be better for us to cultivate

and ascend together?

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

Once I dismiss the little demons,

I'll come find you.

Young Master.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It's just a minor injury.

You and I are different.

Why put yourself through all this?

I don't know.

I know you are a demon

and I'm a demon‑hunter.

But I still fell helplessly

in love with you.

Butian Stone.

Where is the Butian Stone?

You...

Who are you?

Over the past thousand years,

I've become a joke.

Not only these bonds,

my life, struggled for so bitterly,

has become a joke as well.

Where is Ian Xue?

Master!

Master!

Ian Xue hurt me.

And she ran away.

The demonic aura is getting stronger here.

Who knows what else is lurking.

Let's go first.

Masters.

Masters.

Master!

Please take me with you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Miss Bai.

Are you willing to

explore the world with me?

No.

Some quinces once to me were sent;

A ruby was my gift again.

You rejected me last time.

I'm a cultivator.

I know nothing about love.

I know nothing

of matters of affection.

But Master said that

reading ten thousand books

is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

When I first achieved success in cultivation,

my master sent me to explore the world

and witness the sufferings of the world.

Now,

I want to ask you that

are you willing to explore

the whole world with me?

Yes.

Mengsheng.

Let's go back.

Half Lingzhi?

If I absorb you,

my power will be limitless.

The Master of the Nine Hells?

Qing.

Tell the villagers to leave immediately.

Okay.

Hurry!

Mengsheng!

Qing!

Qing!

Qing, are you okay?

Qing!

I, the Master of the Nine Hells

will be back soon.

When I absorb all the essence

of the thousand-year Lingzhi,

I'll kill you all.

Master.

Are you alright?

How dare you!

How dare you collude with demons?

Master.

They are not bad demons.

They are good demons.

They never hurt anyone.

Useless!

You can't even distinguish humans and demons.

Master!

Go!

Hurry!

Master!

Master!

Mengsheng!

Wende!

Where are you?

Wende!

Where are you?

Mengsheng!

Mengsheng!

Wende!

Ian Xue?

Seems like...

You found out too late.

Master of the Nine Hells?

It's you!

What did you do to Ian Xue?

What did you do to her?

So

We've wronged Ian Xue.

You're the one

who did all this?

How could there be no trace at all?

Where did they take Qing?

Pei Wende,

stop crying.

I dodged.

I turned my back to Qing

when she was in danger.

I'm useless.

So useless!

It's not your fault.

It's the Demon's doing!

Master,

please don't.

How dare you stop me from slaying a demon?

Master,

she was fighting by our side.

So what?

Master!

A demon is always a demon.

If we don't kill her now, it'll be too late when she harms others.

I know what's in your heart.

If you can't do it,

I'll do it for you!

Master,

please spare her this time.

Demon,

I'll honor the thousand years you've spent cultivating.

Get lost now!

If I ever find out

you've harmed people again,

I'll find you and kill you

no matter how far you run.

I'm the essence of this world,

formed from the energy

of Heaven and Earth.

I've always done good deeds.

So what if you're a cultivator,

I'm not afraid.

You lowly demon

dare speak of reason.

You're nothing but a beast

defying the rule of reincarnation.

You should be cast into Hell,

never to be reincarnate.

All things arise from the mind,

all beings have hearts.

You see the form, not the heart.

Your disciple has heart, but no compassion.

You humans scheme

and kill one another,

how are you different from demons?

You slay every demon you see without asking about cause and consequence,

calling yourselves righteous,

how is that different from demons?

Demon,

watch your tongue!

Master,

Mengsheng has done nothing but good.

She's on our side.

Those not of our kind can never stand with us.

Master of the Nine Hells

has absorbed the Butian Stone

and devoured the thousand-year Lingzhi.

His power has grown immensely.

I fear that in my current state,

I'm no longer his match.

I believe Mengsheng would never do such a thing.

You fool!

Why can't you understand?

Mengsheng!

Wende!

Where are you?

Mengsheng!

Wende!

Where are you?

Help!

Who is it?

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Granny,

take care of yourself from now on.

What about Qing...

Don't worry.

I will bring Qing back.

Mengsheng,

you must be careful too.

Take care.

Mr. Pei,

why are you still here?

The Master of the Nine Hells' emergence will bring disaster.

You should leave with the villagers

and go back to the capital.

I'm not going back.

Miss Bai,

I want to save Qing.

I know you love your sister

and you'll go to save her.

Could you take me with you?

Please let me go with you!

I've been looking for Qing.

But deep in these mountains,

I can't find a trace of her.

Then tomorrow

I'll go find her myself.

Xu Qing.

Can you help me find Qing?

I can't find her.

Can you help me save her?

Pei, why are you putting yourself through this?

If I hadn't dodged,

Qing wouldn't have been captured.

I'm worried!

There's nothing I can do.

I don't know where Miss Qing was taken.

A powerless man

thinking this absurd,

wanting to save a demon

with the strength of an ant.

You want to help him?

Miss Qing...

You fool!

How dare you address a demon like that?

Master, do you know where she is?

I know where she is.

You can't find her.

Don't waste your energy.

She'll die

in no more than a few days.

Master!

Master, wait for me!

Master,

please save Qing.

Why are you so stubborn?

Master!

Master!

I beg you to save Qing!

As long as you save her,

I'm willing to do anything.

I see great potential in you.

You should devote yourself to cultivation.

I can guide you a little.

But you must sever attachments

and retreat into seclusion.

As long as you can save Qing,

I'll do anything.

Good.

I'll remember your promise

and lend you my support.

Here's our deal:

When the Master of the Nine Hells is defeated

and Qing is revived, you'll sever all your attachments.

In this mortal world,

all things will be of no concern to you.

Miss Bai,

what are you going to do?

Qing is my sister,

I shall live and die with her.

Besides,

what's the point of living?

What's so sad about dying?

I'm just a lowly monster

with a bit of compassion.

So,

I'll risk everything to bring her back.

If you're determined, I will go with you.

No.

The Master of the Nine Hells has devoured her

and drained her power.

What?

Master,

I'm going to save her.

Xu Qing,

you'll die.

Whether I can defeat the Master of the Nine Hells or not,

I'm going to save her.

I can't watch Miss Bai walk into danger.

How dare you!

You dare to disobey your master?

Master,

please forgive my disobedience.

You're a disciple of Jianshan Sect,

yet your heart strays between humans and demons.

Do you remember the oath you took when you joined the sect?

Master,

I do.

And I've always taken slaying demons as my duty.

But this time,

I must go.

Although humans and demons walk different paths,

there are good and evil people.

So are demons.

Why must we

destroy even those demons

who are kind to humans?

If you insist on not letting me go,

please allow me

to resign as the First Disciple of Jianshan Sect.

I'm willing

to forsaken my cultivation

and leave the sect,

cutting off all ties

with everyone there.

In that case,

I'll grant your wish.

If you want to say something,

go ahead, Miss Bai.

Why do you insist

to go with me

to save Qing?

I know.

You know?

You offered me a quince,

I'll return it with a jade.

Not as repayment,

but to show that I'll love you forever.

You know?

I know. But I can't return your feelings.

Why?

Mengsheng,

A human lives for a hundred years,

a demon for a thousand.

A vow of marriage is easy to make,

but a promise to grow old together is hard to keep.

Even if I agree to be with you now,

what about when I'm gone?

When that day comes

and you're left alone,

dreaming sorrowful dreams by the window,

how could I bear it?

So what?

Xu Qing,

if that day ever comes,

so what if I die with you?

A withered wutong tree,

a lonely mandarin duck,

they all got what they sought.

Mengsheng!

I'll send your souls

into the void of the Master of the Nine Hells.

If you can

save that little demon

before he devours her,

he won't be able to take on a new body.

Then

we can work together

and destroy him once and for all.

If you fail to save her in time,

he will devour you.

Young Master,

It's going to be very dangerous.

Be careful.

Mengsheng,

will you still accept this jade pendant?

I want to go.

I want to go with them!

You have no power.

You'll die if you go.

I want to see Qing.

I have something to tell her.

Qing!

Qing!

Qing!

She's there!

Qing!

Qing...

Blasted demon!

Xu Qing,

Back then, thanks to your foolish mercy,

my spirit escaped your grasp.

I wandered the world

and finally found

this evil man

to merge with.

Now,

I'm no longer Zhao TianBa.

I'm the Master of the Nine Hells!

Let Qing go.

Bai Mengsheng.

Humans will always be humans.

Demons will always be demons.

Humans and demons can never be friends.

I'll seize the human realm and let the demons rule the world.

You are a demon. You should follow me.

There are good and bad demons,

wise and foolish humans.

You kill humans and devour demons.

Human or demon, you're nothing but evil.

You're a demon,

yet you want to become human.

I'll kill him first!

Then I'll knock some sense into you.

The light of a firefly

dares to rival the sun and moon.

Mengsheng,

kill him!

I can hold on.

I want to see Qing.

I have something to tell her.

I must go!

In that case,

I'll grant your wish.

Qing!

Miss Bai!

Miss Bai!

Mr. Xu!

Where are you?

Qing!

- Qing. - Wende.

Qing,

I'm sorry.

When you were in danger,

I shamefully turned my back

- Wende. - And let you end up like this.

I'll get you out of here.

Dork,

this won't help.

Don't hurt yourself.

I don't care.

I must get you out of here.

Go!

I'm not leaving!

I'll see to it you all

turn to ashes.

Young Master...

Young Master!

I didn't cultivate well enough.

Looks like I'm going to die here today.

It's ok.

Your master is here.

He'll get us out of this.

It doesn't matter now.

That blasted demon shattered my soul.

I can't go back.

No.

No.

Qing is still trapped.

If you're gone too,

there's no point for me to live on.

I'll find a way to save Qing.

Help me over there.

Qing,

gather all your power,

I can save your life.

Mengsheng,

forget me.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

My years of cultivation...

driven by Qing's power...

can...

merge with the demon power of the Master of the Nine Hells...

This time...

I will turn him into ashes!

What are you saying?

No!

You'll disappear too!

You can't do that.

You promised to take me on adventures through Jianghu.

I can't now.

I'm sorry.

Qing.

Qing!

Qing!

Qing.

Xu Qing?

Xu Qing!

Part of this little demon's power

was absorbed by the Master of the Nine Hells,

and another part has merged with Xu Qing's.

The remaining power can only maintain her as a baby.

Qing,

I'll take care of you.

Miss Bai,

give Qing back to me.

- Don't go! - Miss Bai!

Let her go.

Xu Qing,

Qing is still with me.

She'll keep me company.

This way,

you don't have to worry.

Master, please take me in.

Your heart is cold and empty.

I'll send you to Xingchen Sect.

Xu Qing...

[18 years later]

Mengsheng,

That kite is flying through the clouds.

We're going to have good news.

Look if you don't believe me!

Is it really you?

You must have mistaken me for someone else.

I don't know why,

but I feel as if I've seen you before.

I'm sorry for the mistake.

It's all right.

However...

You offered me a quince, I'll return it with a jade.

Although we just met today,

it feels like I've known you from a past life.

I wish

we can become friends.

You don't need to say more, sir.

I'm Bai Mengsheng.
