(Moonlit Reunion)

(Episode 34)

It looks like Mei Si's horse carriage.

It really is.

Si!

Is it you, Si?

Is Mei Si inside?

I think it's your friend?

Lady Liu, I...

Coming.

Huang Da Zhuang?

What are you doing?

Mei Si.

Something is wrong with you.

Nothing.

What is wrong with me?

It's early in the morning and you are dressed sloppily.

Is there someone inside?

No.

No one is inside.

We grew up together.

I know you well.

You must be hiding something since you look like this.

Come on. Tell me.

Who is inside?

No one. I told you there's no one inside.

You rejected Lady Liu's marriage.

Who else can you go out with?

Is it

a girl from the brothel?

Stop saying nonsense. Can you not embarrass me in public?

Fine. I'm saying nonsense.

Now that Miss Zhen and Commissioner Mei

is traveling south,

I'll be in charge of you.

After all, Zhen isn't here.

I can't let you go on the wrong path.

Let me see who it is.

Huang Da Zhuang. Mr. Huang.

There's no one inside.

There's no one inside?

- What are we doing in Chang'an? - Catching thieves!

- What should we do if we see a suspicious vehicle? - Investigate!

See?

I can't help you.

Show me.

Stop. I said there's no one inside.

- Show me. - There's no one inside.

- Are you sure? Let me see. - No!

Why are you arguing over something trivial?

There's really no one?

I told you there's no one inside.

Open the curtains and show him.

No one wants to see it.

Let's go!

Where is she?

My hand is tired. Is that enough?

You left too quickly.

What? Should I stay in the carriage

and let them badmouth me?

Cat Lord is married.

Since you like Mei Si,

why are you pushing him away

and not telling him your feelings?

Nonsense!

Who told you that I like him?

Tell me. Who told you that?

Ling Xiao.

I'll deal with him in a couple of days.

Are you addicted to becoming Mei Si's lobbyist?

Have you become a matchmaker?

I've been treated with respect

by that fool.

It's only normal for me to be considerate

before I leave.

Leave?

Where are you going?

I didn't want to tell you so soon.

I will soon

transform into a dragon and ascend to Heaven.

Congratulations.

I don't miss much here

except that fool, Mei Si.

I hope he can fulfill his wish.

You want him to fulfill his wish.

What does it have to do with me?

Come with me.

Let me show you something.

Mei Si is not around.

Come.

Come in.

Right. We can use the door.

You've spent too much time with Mei Si.

What is he doing?

That fool has been doing this recently.

I don't know where he found this method.

He said eating raw chicken hearts

for 49 days would turn him into a demon.

In a few days,

he ate all of them

but I almost threw up watching him.

What is this in the cup?

Take a guess.

He said smelling it often

and getting used to the smell of chicken blood,

would make it easier to eat the chicken hearts.

Also,

two days ago,

it was a full moon night.

He insisted I bite his neck.

He said he would turn into a demon after that.

Is that written in your "Compendium of Demons"?

Don't let him buy random books from peddlers.

- Did you bite him? - Of course, not.

It was so unhygienic.

Later, he wanted to bite me instead.

He wanted a drop of my blood.

I ended up being chased by him the whole night.

- Did you let him bite you? - I beat him up.

In my opinion,

you should deal with him.

He might not look intelligent

but I don't think he should behave like a fool.

I will

soon become a dragon.

I have something to request of you.

Clear your name in Demon City?

That's not important.

I want to beg you

to come back and meet him often

if you are not too busy in Demon City.

Meeting him once

makes him happier.

Mortals have a short lifespan.

I think

it's not that easy

to be happy in life.

Everything you say is for his sake

yet you say you are not his lobbyist.

I just have

one friend.

I can only leave him in your care.

Enough. I'll be leaving.

Well,

I'll use the door.

(Mei Residence)

Who touched my paintings?

Who touched my chicken hearts and chicken blood?

I know you are worried about Boss

but the Serpent Lord is right.

Mr. Mei has been treating Boss well.

Nothing will go wrong.

I didn't know how you felt about the Boss previously.

We've been working together for so long.

If you had told me sooner,

I could help you put in a good word.

I wasn't teasing you.

Go back.

He is just as pretentious as always.

You don't know what's good for you!

Elder Gray, it has become a habit for you

to come here.

However, I remember no one can enter this place

without an invitation.

It's too troublesome for me.

Every demon in Demon City thinks I'm dead.

If I walk around outside all day,

it's bad for you

if someone finds out, Lord Shu.

Why don't you

send me away from Demon City

so I can help you from the outside?

I am trapped in Demon City

and you want me to release a cunning geezer like you.

If you are going to hurt Zhen,

I'm afraid no one can stop you.

Lord Shu, how can you say that?

You revived me.

I will never move on my own

and make plans myself.

Is that so?

Why do you need this demon core then?

Who are you trying to hurt?

Wu Zi Shu.

You are the Sinister Fiend Infant's confidant.

It's fine even if you are not as ambitious

as your master

but you are always hesitating

for a half-demon.

If the Sinister Fiend Infant

finds out how incompetent you are,

he will regret it so much.

Elder Gray, you described me as an awful one

but where were you 18 years ago?

When you were around

during the Demon City attack,

it would be a success.

It seems like you still don't know the Sinister Fiend Infant

as much as I know him despite the years you've served him.

He wasn't trying to attack Demon City

but to reclaim it.

The creator of Chang'an Demon City

is the Sinister Fiend Infant.

What?

You really don't know this?

I've been alive for a millennium.

Back then, this place wasn't called Chang'an.

I was a rat spirit in the mountains.

Demons like us were living a good life in the mountains.

Life was good.

However, those darned mortals

started a war

for their selfish desire

and turned this place into a raging battlefield.

My mountain

was completely ruined.

Without these darned mortals,

we wouldn't need to hide,

live cautiously and gather in nests

just to protect ourselves.

The Sinister Fiend Infant

created the barrier

and established the Demon City.

He wanted to strengthen the demons and overturn the mortals.

Unfortunately,

The first two lords were despicable.

They controlled Demon City

and took it for themselves.

They drove the Sinister Fiend out

and contributed nothing

just like emperors of the mortal realm.

They only wanted to pass down Demon City's authority to their descendants.

No wonder you treat Cat Lord and Serpent Lord without respect.

This is the reason why.

That's right.

They are nothing

in my opinion.

I've waited a millennium.

I've always waited,

hoped,

and remembered.

Until 18 years ago,

the Sinister Fiend finally returned.

You are right.

If I left Demon City that day,

he would never lose to the former Cat Lord.

You are really useless

as his confidant.

Let me tell you.

I'm fine with serving someone

but my master must be worth serving.

For the sake of humans,

the demons have to seal ourselves off

and be trapped here

without knowing anything about the mortal realm.

Someone as foolish as they

have no right to rule Demon City!

This place is supposed to be ours!

I don't give a care about Cat Lords or Serpent Lords.

I must revive the Sinister Fiend Infant

and help him create a new Chang'an that prioritizes demons.

A Chang'an where demons will not be equals to mere mortals!

Brother Lu Yang.

This is my wife, Wu Zhen.

This is my fifth martial brother in Changxi Palace, Lu Yang.

He is the best in Changxi Palace when it comes to medicine.

Greetings, Brother Lu Yang.

Soon.

Greetings, Sister-in-law.

You are not guarding the waterfall.

It seems like Shuang Jiang hasn't been stealing your fish recently.

Yes.

That's unlike him.

What has he been doing recently?

Got it.

Let's go.

He is busy.

Don't you have any serious wishes?

Serious?

(Get rich)

Get rich.

You're checking the ledger. Why are you spacing out?

Brother Chi Hua, why are you here?

Zhu Yu is back.

Brother Mei is back?

You're scaring me.

Brother Mei!

Is this Zhu Yu's wife?

Not only that. She's also Demon City's Cat Lord.

To be exact,

She's Demon City's Cat Lord who has lost her memory.

Having a demon inside Changxi Palace.

Doesn't it feel strange?

Enough.

Something serious happened to our former sect leader.

Let's not find fault with others.

She's a guest, after all.

Lian Fu.

Why are you hiding so far away?

I...

I'm not hiding.

You're not hiding?

Why are you standing over there then?

Come here!

Come here!

You...

Brother Lian Fu, what are you doing?

No. What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid of her?

She is pretty. What's so scary about her?

I think none of you know her well.

It's all right. She also doesn't know herself well right now.

In that case,

she can stay here for a few days.

Changxi Palace has many books.

Perhaps there is a cure.

Thank you.

- Well... - Zhu Yu used to be a member of Changxi Palace.

We won't stand by and do nothing.

- No... - Lady Wu Zhen might be a demon

but there are kind demons too.

Don't you know that?

I know, but...

Lady Wu Zhen is a good person.

Even if her memory returns, she won't harm us.

I just have one thing to ask!

Are they going to

stay in one or two rooms?

Since she is staying in your old room,

you can stay with Shuang Jiang for now.

It's only separated by a wall.

It's convenient if something happens.

Thank you.

Don't be so polite. We are a family after all.

However, it is a crude room.

Bring more daily necessities

so Wu Zhen can stay comfortably.

Which of you is going?

Me! I'll go.

Has Lian Fu changed a lot?

Yes.

He has been like this since he came back.

He has become so hardworking.

He is probably worried that we might take revenge on him

because he was close to Chang Ming.

You won't.

Yes. If he isn't guilty,

we wouldn't think of that.

Whatever.

The position of sect leader is vacant now.

Many duties have been separated among us.

It's easier with him helping us.

Shuang Jiang has started managing the accounts after he came back.

So,

you are Changxi Palace's Celestial Master

and I am Chang'an Demon City's Cat Lord?

That's really interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't remember anything.

Do I know any demonic spells?

Try it.

It's so fun.

This is bad.

What is this?

It's probably an array left behind by Brother Chi Hua

when he was practicing.

Here you go.

(How did she...)

What are you doing?

I'm calling you.

I didn't expect it to work.

It's late. Why are you still awake?

The bed is too hard.

I'll get something to pad the bed for you.

I just want to have a chat with you.

Did you sleep here back then?

Is that ugly thing yours?

The ugly doll that's staring at me.

I won against Brother Xiao Mu once.

Master made this clay doll for me

as a reward.

Now that I look at it closely, it's quite cute.

I was thinking about

what you looked like when you were a child

and what you would do.

When I was young?

I practiced martial arts, studied, and slept.

That's really pitiful.

It must be boring.

Is it?

Actually, a boring life isn't pitiful.

I think

having a wish

that cannot be fulfilled

is the most pitiful.

You created Heaven, Earth and the Three Realms.

People worship you.

Now, the ruler of the universe should change hands.

(What did)

(the Satanic Fiend wrote on my body back then?)

I'm sure everyone is awake at this time.

Zhu Yu had a habit of waking up early since young.

Shuang Jiang has also been studying early

since he returned from Chang'an.

I think he should also be awake.

Good morning.

Did I arrange for you

to stay in this room yesterday?

No.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This morning, Lu Yang found many fruits

from the mountains.

They are in the front yard.

Sister-in-law, you may try them.

I think they suit you.

Sure. I couldn't

take a good look at Changxi Palace yesterday anyway.

Changxi Palace is boring.

There's no fun to be had.

However, it is quiet

and might be different perhaps.

You may walk around the place, Lady Wu Zhen.

Zhu Yu and Sister-in-law

can't separate from each other for even one night.

Enough of the nonsense.

I discussed it with Chi Hua.

Lu Yang excels in medicine.

He will try to think of something.

Many books are stored in the archive.

You can have a look

and see if you can find anything.

Brother Mei, you wake up so early.

I didn't notice.

They were right.

Life in Changxi Palace

is indeed boring

and doesn't have much fun.

The sword guides the Three Celestial Lights,

the will guards Heaven and Earth!

(However, it's special.)

I didn't expect

Demon City's Cat Lord to behave like this after losing her memory.

Even if she has lost her memory,

she is still the same.

If she hadn't lost her memory,

she probably wouldn't have stayed by your side

after what happened in Chang'an.

Right now,

I just want her to live well.

Zhu Yu, it's a pity.

The sect leader hasn't been elected

and you are the most suitable candidate.

No.

I'm not.

Once something happens in this world,

traces will be left.

How can the slate be wiped

for me to start all over again?

Since the day I chose to leave this place,

I could no longer return to Changxi Palace.

I'm in charge of the archives now.

I'll leave the key in your care.

You may enter this place as you wish.

Even the secret chamber's key is there.

If nothing works,

you may open the secret chamber and we'll turn a blind eye to it.

Thank you.

I still don't get it.

With your talent,

is it really worth it to sacrifice everything for a woman?

It is.

Well,

do you want to reconsider?

Is it really worth it?

Mr. Mei.

Having fun?

Yes.

Not really.

You won't lose against them.

I don't remember.

I think you won't lose against them, right?

No need. You won't lose against them. There's no need to prove it.

Come back.

What a coincidence.

I was just passing by.

Do you believe it?

What did you do?

I... I'm not doing anything.

Does Lady Liu

think my way of becoming a demon is too foolish

so she wouldn't see me?

I don't think so. You did many foolish things.

She wouldn't wait until now to treat you so coldly.

If you don't know why,

just ask her.

Of course, I want to find her.

But she's in Demon City and I can't enter.

That's exactly why I'm here to give you some information.

Lady Liu

left Demon City an hour ago

and went to Yuzhen Parlour.

You don't have to thank me

for what I just told you.

However, the most important thing today

is to tell you...

I'm here to tell you

that I'm going to turn into a dragon

tonight.

This batch has just been acquired from Annan.

They are a little different from previous batches.

What do you think

of the smell for this batch?

It's decent.

All right.

I'll return to Demon City if there's nothing else.

I'll send you off.

Manager,

I heard Fourth Master Mei's horse carriage is rushing here.

He is quite well-informed.

I'll use the back door.

Wait.

Fourth Master Mei, aren't you at the front door?

My horse carriage is in the front door.

After so many years,

I've known Lady Liu quite well.

Why are you looking for me?

Lady Liu,

I'm here to ask you

what happened.

We had fun

in Qiuchi that day.

It's nothing.

Lady Liu.

I like to fool around usually.

I am ignorant and incompetent

but I'm not a fool.

You are also not someone who changes normally.

Something must have happened.

But no matter what,

you should tell me the reason.

Let's speak inside.
