[The Unclouded Soul]

[Episode 24]

Go! All leave!

You all never listen to me,

insisting on going to the West Coast to get yourselves killed!

I said I would go for you,

but you didn't let me!

You insisted on bringing Wu Huan with you.

Fine then!

Let that traitor Wu Huan betray you once more!

If you don't make it back,

I won't take care of the Demons' Valley anymore!

Hong Ye.

Are you afraid?

No matter how hard it is,

with you by my side,

I'm not afraid.

What about you?

Same.

I am afraid.

There's a storm ahead.

Hold on to me.

Hold tight!

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

My Lord,

down there is the West Coast.

Let's go.

Don't go down yet.

The Treasure Swallower guards the Treasury all day.

We'll wait until it's fast asleep,

then seize the chance to move.

Mm.

If you're tired, you can get some rest.

Honestly, I am a bit sleepy.

Wake up.

Judging from the sound,

it's a giant behemoth.

Following the sound,

we can find the entrance.

Wu Huan,

wait for us here.

If something goes wrong,

take Xiao Yao away first.

Mm.

Don't be so negative.

I mean, "if."

There's no "if."

Let's go.

Look!

I'll conjure up

as many as you want.

Let's hurry.

Oh, my goodness!

Let's go.

There are so many of them.

Where do we even start?

So many.

It doesn't seem to be here.

Let's look somewhere else.

There's more over there.

Come on. Let's go.

These stones do look like it,

but they don't seem to be the spiritual stone.

Never mind.

Just take all the ones that look like it.

You check this side, and I'll check that side.

Xiao Yao, stop looking.

There's something.

What is it? Bring it here.

Don't shout.

I can't take it.

[Treasure Swallower]

No... Don't come over!

I just wanted to take a look.

I-I'll give them back to you.

Don't eat us!

Don't be afraid. Wait a moment.

I...

Let me show you something.

This one.

I have more.

This tastes even better than that one.

Delicious!

I want more! More!

I have more! There's more!

Hurry!

It's so sweet.

These are your provisions for the journey back.

Stop talking.

Why did you bring so little?

You two little things,

how dare you come to steal my treasures?

This is unforgivable!

Stop!

You've eaten our food,

and we've returned all your treasures.

If you have any problem, come at me, the lord.

How dare you call yourself "lord" in my presence?

Sir, he is Hong Ye, the Monarch of All Demons.

Hong Ye? Yes.

I've heard of him.

However,

I only care about treasures here,

not about lords or monarchs.

I just

caught a falcon outside. A really nice one.

This Little Lord can stay

to tend to my bird

- and join me to have fun with it. - How dare you!

You old jerk.

Little thing, you are so boring

and utterly dull.

I'll swallow you in one go!

No, no, sir!

H-He's not edible.

He stinks!

He stinks? Mm!

I stink.

Worse than stinky tofu?

Yeah, worse than that.

No, please!

Please spare him!

We're not here to steal anything.

We

Heard that you have many interesting things here.

We...

We came to visit you and have fun.

Have fun? Mm.

Wonderful! Great!

I-I love having fun.

Look.

I have so, so many treasures here,

but I don't know how to play with them.

Tell me quickly!

You can play with this one.

Watch carefully.

Nice! This is good!

-I want to play with it, too! -Have a try.

Come on.

Let me do it.

He doesn't look like he would eat people.

We just need to humor him a bit.

Mm.

Oh, my...

What is this thing called?

This is called pitch-pot.

Based on how the arrows are thrown,

it's divided into rim shot,

direct handle shot, backside handle shot,

double shots, and all-in.

Sir, try again.

You go

pick up all those arrows for me.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stand firm.

I'll go.

Good boy.

Hurry up.

This is so much fun.

This is really fun.

How about this one?

Be gentle.

What about this?

B-Be gentle!

These are all treasures.

Legend has it

that the Treasure Swallower has been collecting treasures since ancient times,

but I never expected them to be such worthless junk.

Well...

You shouldn't say that.

These things are all precious treasures of the human realm.

Yeah, yeah.

But they're only treasures if they can be played with.

Then hurry and teach me

how to play with them.

Forgive me for being blunt,

but these things are way too old.

They're missing parts

and need to be repaired first.

Then fix them quickly.

You...

Oh... Come and help!

He can't make it either.

Repairing these requires tools

that we can only buy outside.

That won't do.

You cannot leave.

You are now my greatest treasure.

Once you're in, you're never getting out.

You old jerk!

Don't push your luck.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Sir, sir!

Don't be mad. Calm down.

Think about it.

If we don't go outside,

then you won't be able to play with any of your treasures,

and they truly won't count as treasures anymore.

Besides,

there are many more things outside,

even more than in this Treasury.

Don't you want them?

Girl,

is he your greatest treasure?

If he is,

I'll keep him here

while you go out buying things.

If he isn't,

I've disliked him for a while.

I'll treat him like stinky tofu

and swallow him in one go... Yes!

He is.

What do you mean?

My treasure.

The restaurant we dined in last time was quite good.

Yes, I'd like to go there again.

Today's...

What is that thing?

How weird.

The Treasure Swallower only takes things in, never gives them back.

I've never heard

of anyone taking anything from him.

But it's His Lordship who will suffer,

having to be a hostage there.

It's okay.

Spending money is what I'm best at.

We just need to hurry up and go back early.

Let's go.

I just can't understand

why that girl would consider you a treasure.

Keeping you here

will really make her come back?

I hope she doesn't come back,

so she won't be coveted by an old jerk like you.

So you like her, too?

"Too"?

You dare fight me for treasure?

You want to die?

You...

Want a fight?

Then tell me.

Do you have more gold and jewels than I do,

or is your power greater than mine?

I don't need to compare myself with you.

If she's in danger,

I would sacrifice my life to protect her.

How touching.

It's so touching.

After all, you've lost your power,

so sacrificing your life is all you can do.

However...

Have you told

all this to that girl clearly?

Would she be willing to accept it?

If I'm going to act,

why waste words?

S-So you haven't told her yet.

If you haven't said it, it doesn't count.

Nonsense.

I don't need to explain myself

to you, a Treasure Swallower who only guards treasures.

I've lived for so long

that there's nothing I don't understand.

You know what?

That girl knows value

and understands what true treasure is.

Collecting treasures with me

and enjoying life would be the best for her.

Dream on!

I don't allow you to set your sights on Xiao Yao.

I hold sway over here.

She's already my treasure,

Not for you to covet.

Forget it! Forget it!

Screw you.

Try this.

This one. This one. And this one.

We'll take them all.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hurry.

We want all of them. Okay.

Take a look.

Come take a look!

And one more.

This is really important.

Sir.

Yes.

We can't buy any more.

If we buy more, I won't be able to fly.

Let's go.

Xiao Yao,

you must be tired. Have a seat.

Old jerk.

You traded one nugget of gold for all these treasures.

You're the real master here.

I should have let you take more gold.

That was enough.

All these vessels here are rare treasures,

but the food inside them is

the real source of power and spirit.

Without these delicious foods,

these plates would be useless.

Right.

Otherwise, they'd be useless like him,

a complete waste.

Just the smell is refreshing.

This eating...

Eat, eat, eat,

eat, eat, eat!

Eating, drinking, and playing

must be combined

to create maximum pleasure.

I'll listen to you.

Well,

then, tell me

how to combine them for maximum pleasure?

You're awesome!

Check this out.

How could this be?

Xiao Yao, teach me.

You're a real master!

He's cheating! Cheating!

Want to learn?

I'll teach you, sir.

Who allowed you to take food from Xiao Yao?

Spit it out!

I won this fair and square.

Who allowed you to win?

Did Xiao Yao agree to this?

Disrespect toward Xiao Yao is

disrespect toward me!

After all,

you're still after Xiao Yao, aren't you?

It's you who covets my treasure.

From then on,

Master Ye no longer kept a cold face

and could laugh heartily.

Miss Yao also became a true heroine.

After that, the two of them traveled together

through mountains and rivers,

enjoying their lives in the human realm.

That's so touching!

I've never heard

such a moving story before.

So that's how the arms and legs move!

Wonderful! Bravo!

This is so interesting!

So fascinating!

I want to learn this! I want to learn!

Well,

it requires finesse,

but your power is too strong.

If you break it,

I'll have to fix it again.

I have so many treasures

that have been sitting here for years.

If I don't take them out to play with them,

won't they all become useless waste in the end?

But...

Just teach me.

I...

I'm willing to trade other treasures for it with you.

You can choose any treasure I have here.

I have so many treasures.

Isn't there

anything you want among them?

Think carefully.

I do want to ask you for a favor,

but I don't want to use this as a bargaining chip.

Never mind.

I'll teach you

for free.

But whether you can learn it

depends on you.

Alright then.

You need to maintain its balance,

keep this side facing yourself all the time,

apply force with your arm,

and don't let it fall.

I'm letting go now.

Good, good!

Well done!

Xiao Yao.

If you agree to trade with him,

it won't be as simple as teaching him.

He surely wants you to stay.

I don't want the Sky Stone anymore.

You should find a chance

to escape from this place quickly.

H-How did it get tangled?

You could untangle it.

No rush.

If he sees these things as treasures,

then he can't be a greedy person.

I want to give it a try with sincerity first.

No.

I can't risk your safety no matter what.

What are you two talking about?

Nothing.

Just complimenting your skills.

Pick one.

One more!

Brilliant.

Impressive! Let me try!

You need to go from here to here,

aiming at that bell,

drawing the bow steadily.

Three.

Two. One.

Release!

Hong Ye, watch out!

No! Don't aim at people.

You need to aim at that bell.

Give it another try.

Should I close my left eye or right eye?

Either is fine.

Aim at the bell, okay?

One. Two.

Three.

Good, not bad.

What's wrong?

Why is there a smell?

The smell of jealousy.

I know

My Lord has suffered some grievances lately.

If this were back in the old days, you would have

totally wrecked this Treasury.

But just because of this,

I admire you even more, My Lord.

You're enduring what others cannot put up with.

On a personal level,

this is how a real man should behave.

On a greater scale,

you're concerned about the lives of all demons,

using every last one of your faculties.

My Lord, you know you carry the fate of demons.

Sure enough, you would do anything

to recover your power...

Who told you

that I would do anything to recover my power?

If it means sacrificing you

and leaving you here forever to entertain him,

I'd rather not have this power back at all.

I want to protect you,

not just to keep you alive.

I don't want you

to be constrained by anything or lose your freedom

because of me.

Xiao Yao,

he's so boring.

Why don't you

join me and play with this luminous pearl instead?

Sir,

you have plenty of luminous pearls here.

How about I show you something else to play with?

Nice! Okay!

Come on!

Run faster!

Faster! Faster!

It's flying!

Come on, faster.

Great! Amazing!

Not bad, old man!

Your eagle flies so high.

Take it.

I'm exhausted.

I

Haven't seen

such beautiful scenery in a long time.

Since you like it so much,

are you going to take this beautiful view to your Treasury as well?

You're such a quick-witted, interesting girl.

However,

you have

a bright future ahead.

Hong Ye is just lucky to have you.

That guy

doesn't treat you well,

still putting on airs like some lord

and acting grumpy.

He may look grumpy,

but he's actually quite sweet.

He treats me very well.

Besides, you've already taught him quite a few lessons.

Since you defend him so much,

I won't be too hard on him.

In this world,

there are comings and goings,

gatherings and partings.

It is my duty

to guard the West Coast.

I cannot leave,

but I shouldn't keep you trapped here either.

That boy has lost all his power,

yet with no external injuries.

I guess

it was caused by the Heart-Burning Incantation.

You came here looking for the Sky Stone

just in order

to find a way to remove the Heart-Burning Incantation, right?

You knew it?

I thought you would

try to steal it

or fool me around

to make off with some treasures.

But unexpectedly,

I deliberately gave you a chance to make requests,

hinted at it, and tried to inspire you,

yet you didn't say a word about it.

I

Haven't had

such joyful days in a long time.

I really hate to see you go.

I wish I could keep you here longer.

Girl,

what are you doing?

Get up. Come on.

Sir.

I'm not trying to exploit your kindness.

But the Sky Stone really is

Hong Ye's last glimmer of hope.

I know you don't like Hong Ye,

but he did lose his power because of me.

He's also the one all demons look up to.

I, Xiao Yao, sincerely hope you

can lend us the Sky Stone.

I swear,

when his power is restored,

we will return the treasure to you.

Seems like

he truly is the greatest treasure in your heart.

Thank...

I can't bear to see you go.

Don't worry, sir.

When we return this treasure,

we'll meet again.

You're the first one to take a treasure

from the Treasure Swallower.

Little Lord,

take good care of Xiao Yao.

-Otherwise, I... -There's no "otherwise."

I will certainly treat her well.

I won't give you any chance to intervene.

I've asked him for you.

He said he'd risk his life to protect you.

It seems

that he truly cares for you.

Next time you visit,

remember to bring me your wedding candies.

Sir!

What are you talking about?

I'm not telling you.

Thank you, sir.

I'll take my leave now.

Get going now!

Or I might change my mind.

What did that old jerk say to you at the end?

Take a guess.

Okay.

Give me a hint then.

Come here.

What?

Come closer.

There were still cries from this furnace the other day.

But today, there's no sound at all.

Could it be that the pill is already complete?

It's said that this time,

they're refining a great demon from ancient times.

If the pill is successfully made,

it could ensure His Majesty's health for 100 years.

I wonder what makes this pill so different.

Can you see clearly?

It's all just flames.

Humans!

I will make you

suffer eternal damnation!

You good-for-nothings.

How incompetent.

Useless wretches!

You can't find the Yuli Spring,

and you let the captured demon escape.

What are you, the Feiyu Guards, even good at?

Please punish us, Your Majesty.

Heed my decree.

All officers, heed the decree!

The Feiyu Guards must eliminate

all demon threats in Tiansheng Kingdom within 1 month.

If after 1 month,

there are still demons causing trouble,

the Feiyu Guards will be disbanded,

and all of you...

I promise I will do my utmost

and not fail your command, Your Majesty.

Otherwise, you'll face

deaths by 1,000 cuts

and execution of your entire clans.

So back then, the Heavenly Mother used the Heart-Burning Incantation

and activated an array to reverse time,

allowing herself to return to the beginning of creation.

She needed to find her younger self

to retrieve her primordial spirit

in order to restore her power.

Did she succeed then?
