One Bam.

I didn't touch you.

Don't try to scam me.

One Bam.

One Bam?

One Bam is convulsing!

Someone come quickly!

One Bam is convulsing!

Help!

One Bam is convulsing!

That filthy mouth of yours

is unworthy of speaking such a sacred name!

Feng Mochen.

The thousand-year grudge between our Bai Clan of Bronze County and you

shall be settled here and now.

Ancestors of the Bai Clan of Bronze County, bear witness—

I, Bai Yu,

thirtieth-generation disciple,

hereby vanquish evil and defend the righteous path!

slay evil and subdue demons!

By this command!

One Bam is convulsing!

Hurry!

Hurry up and come here!

Is she okay?

What happened to her?

How would I know?

Is she alright?

Quit shoving.

Xiangjiu!

What's wrong with you, Xiangjiu?

Xiangjiu!

Why is she convulsing?

How would I know?

Xiangjiu.

Xiangjiu!

Congratulations, Your Highness.

Congratulations

on eliminating this great threat.

The position of Emperor

will soon be yours.

Although His Grace never thought much of us,

he once showed Father great kindness.

Now that His Grace's dead,

I'm afraid Father's life will...

Your Highness,

you're kind-hearted.

But if His Grace hadn't been eliminated,

he would've become a grave threat.

Lord Gongsun,

you're my most trusted advisor.

I

am willing to heed your counsel.

With my assistance,

Your Highness will surely achieve greatness.

When that time comes,

Lord Gongsun,

you'll be the greatest contributor.

I wouldn't dare take the credit.

Your Highness.

I have a matter

that I'd like to trouble you with.

Please go ahead, Lord Gongsun.

My unworthy son has reached marriageable age.

I humbly ask that Your Highness persuade His Majesty

to bestow Princess Ningshuang

in marriage upon my son.

As you just saw,

Princess Ningshuang has quite a temper.

Father has spoiled her.

Can your son really handle her?

No matter how fierce a woman is,

once she enters our Gongsun household,

we'll make sure

she's brought to heel.

Since you're so confident,

I'll raise the matter with Father tomorrow

and ask him to grant the marriage.

In that case,

Your Highness,

your grand ambition will surely be fulfilled.

It was Prince Fuying's doing.

I'll go kill him.

This is my business.

It doesn't concern you.

How could it

not concern me?

Whatever bond there was between us

was already severed completely

the day I got married.

Don't come looking for me again.

Lian.

I failed to protect you back then...

Gongsun Hao.

Everything from our past—

I've already put it behind me.

I hope you will too.

From now on,

let's each live our own lives in peace.

Can you...

Really be at peace?

That's my concern.

Eat more.

One Bam.

One Bam?

Why is she still unconscious?

She's not dead, is she?

You...

She's still breathing, okay?

I don't see that.

One Bam?

One Bam?

Then why hasn't she woken up yet?

How would I know?

Go.

Go away.

Xiangjiu, you're awake!

One Bam!

What are you doing?

How did I get back here?

I remember drinking too much last night.

Why do I feel so cold?

Could she be having a seizure?

You...

Xiangjiu!

What a feast!

This is what life's all about:

eating and drinking.

Open your mouth wide,

enjoy food from everywhere.

A wise man avoids the river of love.

Today, I've got

chicken and wine!

What bliss!

Bliss...

Bliss...

Bliss...

What's wrong with Xiangjiu?

One Bam.

Is the bucket that fragrant?

Is it so good you don't want to come out?

Xiangjiu.

Help me!

What are you guys standing there for?

Come pull her head out!

Hurry up! Come on.

Coming!

One, two, three,

pull!

Put some effort into it!

Haven't you eaten today or what?

Xiangjiu.

That wily fox really is something.

Even after what happened last night, I still couldn't get rid of him.

I'll have to wait for another chance.

Right now, Xiangjiu is what matters most.

I can't let her sacrifice herself

to that wily fox for my sake.

My primordial spirit and physical body

must be entangled with each other.

I need to quickly use the Spirit-Detachment Technique

to sever the connection.

Xiangjiu must be ill.

Please don't hold it against her, Lady Zhao.

You dare to stop me?

You want a beating too, huh?

Stop!

You're nothing but a mere Palace Gate official.

How dare you be so insolent?

Release this Venerable One at once—

or I'll make sure

you die a miserable death.

Lady Zhao.

What did she just call herself?

What did you just call yourself?

This Venerable One.

Scared now, aren't you?

Release this Venerable One now.

How dare you presumptuously call yourself "Venerable"?

You reckless fool.

Take her away!

Don't touch me!

Today I'll show you what this whip can do!

You wouldn't dare!

Watch me!

Let's see you act tough now, One Bam!

Does the whip feel good?

Enjoy it!

You...

Enjoy it!

Enjoy my little whip!

Stop it!

Isn't this Bai Yu, Attendant Bai?

Attendant Bai.

Come here, Attendant Bai.

Everyone, come here.

This is the legendary figure of our Imperial Servants Bureau,

the one who scrubs toilets so well

that he earned His Majesty's favor— Bai Yu, Attendant Bai.

Attendant Bai.

Xiangjiu.

Attendant Bai.

So white.

Attendant Bai.

Could you teach us

how you scrub toilets?

Attendant Bai.

Oh no.

Teach us, please.

Attendant Bai?

Xiangjiu!

Are you alright?

Where are you hurt?

How dare she hit me...

You...

You...

You...

Lady Zhao.

Are you...

Xiangjiu!

Xiangjiu.

No matter what happens,

as long as I'm here,

I will protect you.

Bai Yu.

I didn't want to tell you about this.

But right now,

it seems only you can help.

You've got a good appetite.

You should know your place.

You're just a lowly servant

temporarily residing in Master's body.

You mustn't do anything to harm his precious body.

You should cherish his physical form.

You lackey.

Who are you to lecture me?

Xiangjiu.

Whatever you need, just say it.

Your business is my business.

How dare you!

Xiangjiu...

You...

What's this about?

I...

That girl again.

W...

Which girl?

You reckless fool.

Let me tell you,

you'd better show me some respect!

Stay here and behave yourself.

I'm going to check on Master.

I'll be back to deal with you later.

That felt really good just now.

Bai Yu.

You've likely

never encountered anything like this

in your lifetime.

That's true.

Why does

this body

feel so off?

This face

is quite good-looking.

This thick hair.

A bit prematurely aged though.

This jawline

is so sharp.

Let's check out the physique...

That's not right.

That wouldn't be ethical.

However,

If I just take one quick look,

it shouldn't count as peeping, right?

After all, I'll be using this body for quite some time.

Taking one look

shouldn't be a problem.

Not bad at all, buddy.

Let's do this then!

This... This is

something I've truly never seen before.

Xiangjiu.

Let's not rush things.

This isn't

the right place for that.

All these muscles.

I'm truly blessed by Heaven.

These long legs.

Bai Yu.

Bai Yu!

Take my hand!

Bai Yu!

But I don't know this dance.

I'm not Huo Xiangjiu.

Xiangjiu.

What are you talking about?

Have you heard of soul exchange?

Soul exchange?

My father mentioned it to me before.

What's wrong?

I'm not Huo Xiangjiu.

I'm Feng Mochen.

Our souls have been exchanged.

What?

You...

You are Feng Mochen?

How do you prove that?

Ever since your forefather Bai Chi,

your Bai clan has been trying to kill me.

Unfortunately, each generation has been weaker than the last.

And by your generation, your skills are particularly poor,

not even close to matching mine.

Time and again, I've beaten you until you were covered in wounds!

Shut up!

You truly are the wily fox—

twisting the truth!

So,

last night, the one I tried to kill was...

Huo

Xiang

Jiu.

My Little Xiangjiu.

Little Xiangjiu...

Bai Yu, save me.

Bai Yu, save me.

Help me, Bai Yu.

Help me, Bai Yu.

Little Xiangjiu...

Bai Yu!

Little Xiangjiu...

Help me,

Bai Yu!

Bai Yu.

Tails!

I have tails now!

But

they look rather ordinary.

Xiangjiu.

You wily fox!

What are you up to now?

I don't know either.

My spirit and body are intertwined right now.

I'll need to use the Spirit-Detachment Technique

to separate them.

I did learn the Spirit-Detachment Technique,

but I've never used it before.

I've forgotten it.

What's happening now?

Is Xiangjiu controlling your actions right now?

Hurry up.

Take me to her.

If you want to get by in life,

your tail needs

a bit of

green.

Faster!

I've got a bad feeling about this.

I'm already going as fast as I can.

If anything happens to my physical body,

I'll be trapped in this body forever.

Am I beautiful?

Old Fox,

are you happy?

Without me,

I'm afraid you would never know

what

true elegance is.

So fragile?

Yu.

Aren't you afraid of me?

I never thought your Bai Clan was this capable.

Yu.

When you call me with that appearance,

it feels really strange.

Bai Yu.

Just because I'm in a different body now,

does that mean we're not friends anymore?

It's not like that,

Xiangjiu.

I...

That's not what I meant.

Bai Yu.

Since you know magic,

can you help me find my father?

My magic can only be used to vanquish demons.

I can't use it to find people.

So what should I do?

Xiangjiu.

That's not what I meant.

The most important thing right now is

that your primordial spirit

and your original physical body are entwined.

Every move you make now

will affect your physical body.

I'll temporarily use the Spirit-Detachment Technique

to sever that entanglement.

So can you help us

switch back?

We'll discuss that later.

Let's do the spirit detachment first.

Alright.

What do I need to do?

First,

turn your face away.

Huh?

It's not about you.

It's because our Bai Clan of Bronze County

has a blood feud with that wily fox.

Whenever I see that face,

I just want to hit it.

Is this better?

Okay.

That will do.

What's the incantation again?

Got it.

Let me go!

You wily fox, you're finally awake!

Bai Yu,

cast the spell now!

What's the incantation for the Spirit-Detachment Technique again?

I remember it now.

What kind of technique did Bai Yu just use?

This fool.

The Bai Clan of Bronze County

is really going to end with him.

How did you two meet anyway?

The Bai Clan of Bronze County has always prided itself on demon slaying.

One of Bai Yu's ancestors

died in an attempt to capture me.

Since then, the Bai descendants have made capturing me their ambition.

So does that mean he has the ability to switch us back?

What do you think?

It's a bit difficult indeed.

That's all right, though.

I can go on using your body

to search for my father's whereabouts.

Have you found anything?

I detected a few people last night.

But because of a sudden stomach pain,

I didn't get to Princess Ningshuang and Madam Chen.

Why did you have stomach pain?

I don't know either.

It struck right after

I finished toasting them.

They all drank too,

but it seemed like I was the only one affected.

Could it be

someone wanted to kill you?

Mere mortals like them can't hurt me.

That's right, you're a demon.

You're not that easy to kill.

That's great.

With this body,

I'm practically invincible.

Searching for my father

will be much more convenient.

Your father has been missing for 2 years.

I'm afraid...

My father is a good man.

Good people always come out of trouble safe and sound—

and live to a ripe old age.

Dad.

It's so late. How about calling it a day?

These memorials concern the livelihood of the people of Bronze County.

The sooner I finish, the better it is for them.

But the light is so dim.

You'll wear your eyes out like this, Dad.

I'm the registrar of Bronze County.

I write memorials in the dark

so that the people of Bronze County

won't have to live in darkness.

What do you mean, Dad?

I don't quite understand.

Look,

every single memorial here

can bring a ray of light to the people of Bronze County.

Don't you want

the people of Bronze County

to see that light sooner?

Of course I do!

Then I need to finish these memorials as soon as possible.

I understand now.

You want to be the people's light, Dad.

Then let me...

Be your light, Dad!

Dad!

Dad.

Are you really going to sneak into the palace to see His Majesty?

This Young Master Gao

with the magistrate backing him up,

has seized many shops belonging to the people.

All these years, the memorials I've submitted

have received no response.

This time, I must go in person.

Dad,

you're just a registrar.

Sneaking into the palace is a capital offense.

Don't worry, Xiangjiu.

I'm not a fool.

I've thought of a foolproof plan

to ensure I can meet His Majesty safely.

Xiangjiu,

just wait for my good news.

Dad has been gone for two years now,

with no news whatsoever.

Still, I'm certain

he's safe and well.

I'll help you find him.

I don't believe you.

You're a fox.

Foxes are the sliest of all.

Fine, don't believe me then.

No, wait.

I believe you.

Then promise me

you'll get my father back.

Pinky swear?

So childish.

Let me try this.

What did we just see?

It might be...

An illusion.

An illusion it is.

You've finally switched back.

Xiangjiu...

You two are driving me crazy!

You two are really driving me crazy.

Yu.

It's okay.

I wonder how Master is doing.

Yellow.

It's been a long time since anyone's used my childhood name.

I like you so much.

Oh no,

she just confessed her love to me!

I really want to kiss you.

She dares flirt with me!

Yellow, you'd better eat quickly,

or would you like me to feed you?

You're just too cute.

Mao...

Guard Mao.

Please spare it.

It probably wandered in by accident.

I'll chase it away right now.

Wait!

Where

did you come from?

Since you're from the Cold Palace,

why are you wandering around in broad daylight?

Even if you're hungry,

couldn't you come out at night?

Wandering around in broad daylight,

what if someone catches you?

Alright.

Go back now that you're full.

Go on.

Guard Mao.

You can talk to it?

What's so strange about that?

I can talk to you too, can't I?

Oh,

that's true.

Where did you get

all this food you're feeding it?

I...

I definitely didn't steal it!

This is my breakfast.

Now that you gave your breakfast to it,

what will you eat?

I'm often hungry.

I'm already used to it.

It's no big deal.

You!

Come with me!

My Spirit-Detachment Technique is quite impressive, isn't it?

Our Bai Clan of Bronze County isn't famous for nothing.

You spent so long on just a simple Spirit-Detachment Technique,

and you're actually pleased with yourself?

You wily...

Why did you stop?

This face of yours

is just too tempting.

Yu...

What do you want!

You almost scared me to death.

Why are you so fierce?

No,

that's not what I meant.

Your face...

You two are really driving me crazy.

Then hurry up and help us switch back.

Don't tell me that someone from

the Bai Clan of Bronze County can't even do that.

What's so hard about that?

I'll go home and check the secret manuals passed down in my family.

There should be something in there.

What are you waiting for then?

I'm waiting for you.

Why wait for me?

I'm waiting for you to go home.

What, are you planning to

stay here with Xiangjiu?

Do you think I'd do anything to her?

I

will never go back to that foul and degrading place,

the Imperial Servants Bureau!

Guard Mao,

His Grace's meals

didn't require sampling before.

That was then,

and this is now.

By that logic, your ancestors were monkeys once.

Does that make you one?

If you put it that way,

your ancestors

were monkeys too back then, weren't they?

As a matter of fact,

they weren't.

Enough.

Stop wasting words.

Anyway,

from now on, whenever His Grace dines,

have her come in and sample the dishes first.

You...

What's your name again?

Le Ning.

Le Ning.

Got it?

Got it.

Guard Mao.

That would be absolutely inappropriate.

What's inappropriate about it?

From now on, whenever it's mealtime,

I'll inform Lady Zhao,

and you can come over to sample the food.

But I don't know how to sample dishes.

There's nothing difficult about that.

Just take a bite of each dish,

and if you find something you like,

just eat as much as you want.

You have no idea

how much

I can eat.

No worries.

We've got plenty here.

Just eat to your heart's content.

Master!

Where are you going?

It's mealtime.

This...

It's all...

It's all the fault of that Imperial...

It's all the fault of Chef Xue from the Imperial Kitchen.

He fell sick.

The other chefs

only know how to make chicken necks.

Give this to her to eat.

Master!

That's her, right?

After all this time,

I still recognize her.

Huo Xiangjiu—

That's her, right?

Princess Ningshuang and Madam Chen are the only ones left.

If they don't have the scent of Ganquan Register either,

what should I do?

Madam Chen?

Princess Ningshuang?

How can I get her to come out?

Got it.

To what do I owe

the honor of Your Grace's visit

to my Ningshuang Palace?

Well...

You... I...

I was just passing by.

Your Grace,

are you trying to seduce

Madam Chen?

Princess Ningshuang, you really know how to joke.

I'll take my leave now.

It's you!
