[When Destiny Brings The Demon]

[Based on the JJWXC novel "When Destiny Brings The Demon" by Fu Hua]

[Episode 25] [Traveling Together Is the Perfect Chance to Grow Closer]

Isn't this the cold pond?

The water temperature is just right.

It's been so long since I felt like I was on vacation.

Wait, I can travel with my spirit sense now?

Looks like those pills really worked.

Always so vain.

I'll tease you about it later.

Why can't I get through?

It's dangerous there.

The Demon Realm is more perilous than the Celestial Palace,

so I set a protective barrier for your spirit sense.

Why did it feel strangely familiar?

Of course.

Back then, to purge the demonic poison,

you drank my blood

and took a Bloodseal Bloom.

That pushed you into Soulshift,

and your spirit sense wandered just like this.

I once stumbled into my Soul Manor

and found your Bloodseal Bloom there.

Why?

Did that frighten you?

Do you know what that means?

I am not frightened.

Don't forget:

when you are agitated,

I can sometimes hear what is on your mind.

Right now, you are telling yourself

to stay calm

and not panic.

Perhaps you can feel it:

even when you distance yourself from me,

even when you resent me,

you still instinctively draw close to me

and rely on me.

That's because

a flower of mine

is still blooming in your Soul Manor.

What...

What were we like with each other?

Just like that.

Like what?

Like what you are thinking.

I am not thinking about anything.

Have we...

already?

What?

You know what I mean.

I don't.

Have you been to my Soul Manor?

Very often.

What's happening? I'm actually picturing it in my head.

No, stop it.

He can probably hear my thoughts.

But I have lost all of my memories.

Surely you have ways

to help me recover them, don't you?

So why haven't you done it?

Wouldn't that get you what you want

much faster?

True.

But you deserve to move at your own pace.

♪Countless souls drift into the boundless wilds...♪

What if I can never recover my memories?

♪I defy fate just to remain by your side...♪

It doesn't matter.

We have plenty of time.

♪Pouring down...♪

We can start anew.

♪Drunk on romance. In a blink♪

♪Love and hate vanish into illusion♪

♪Falling into endless love. Stirring waves♪

♪Upending a lifetime♪

♪Even if this life leads to ruin...♪

Calm down.

♪Through all lifetimes♪

♪Falling into love's abyss like heavy rain♪

♪Pouring down♪

♪Drunk on romance. In a blink♪

♪Love and hate vanish into illusion♪

♪Falling into endless love. Stirring waves♪

♪Upending a lifetime♪

♪Even if this life leads to ruin♪

♪I still choose to be entangled with you♪

♪Through all lifetimes♪

Mr. Feng Qi,

let it go.

Besides, she seems

to have forgotten all her memories as the Frost Fish,

which is why she can't recognize you.

What a pity

you two have ended up like this.

I once suffered a terrible injury

and lost all my past memories.

According to Sima Jiao,

before the memory loss, I was his cultivation partner.

She and I are cultivation partners.

You

are nothing more than a clown.

Yan, it was you who saved me.

Now, it is you who has forgotten me.

The Preceptor gave me the chance to keep living,

but you are the reason I want to stay alive.

The one you should remember

is me.

Mr. Feng, what brings you here?

Mr. Ghost, please send word that I wish

to meet with the Preceptor.

Greetings, Preceptor.

It's been years.

You have grown into such a fine figure.

My lord, please return. Leave the rest to me.

No need. A single fire will take care of it.

They brought it on themselves, outshining the master and knowing no restraint.

Preceptor...

This is as far as I can help you.

The rest

depends on your own fate.

Rise.

Preceptor, I will never forget that you saved my life.

Think nothing of it.

I hear you are willing to cooperate with us

to help that Frost Fish recover her memory?

Yes.

May I ask, Preceptor,

why you are so intent on helping me restore Yan's memory?

We want her to return to her former role,

kill Sima Jiao, and take his blood

to complete the blood sacrifice for the former Demon Lord, You Yan.

Blood sacrifice?

To continue their strength and rule,

the ancestors of the Demon Race would have

their souls extracted by the Preceptor after death

and infused into the bodies of their descendants.

The entire ritual

must be carried out in the blood pool at White Bone Abyss,

so it's called a blood sacrifice.

The former Demon Lord, You Yan, was killed by the Spirit Fire,

so even after all this time,

he still hasn't returned to life.

The blood in the pool has dried up.

To restore his soul as soon as possible,

we need the world's most nourishing blood,

the blood of the Fengshan Clan,

to refill the pool.

So you want to kill Sima Jiao and take his blood?

Exactly. And we need

not only

a body of You clan descent to serve

as the vessel for the Demon Lord's soul,

but also someone of the Chang family to initiate the ritual.

Mr. Feng, will you

lend us your aid?

It was You Chi who wiped out my clan.

As a descendant of the Chang family,

I have never wavered in my loyalty

to the Demon Race.

I am glad

you are willing to help.

Even the slightest mistake

could make centuries of planning all go to waste.

Still, I never imagined

you'd be so deeply attached to that little Frost Fish.

Preceptor, you gave me the chance to survive.

But it was Yan

who gave me the hope and courage to keep living.

I thought

I would never see her again in this life,

but then we met

once more in Celestial Crane City.

That

made me certain it was fate.

Tell me what I need to do next,

Preceptor.

Sima Jiao,

do you think more Spirit Fires are always better?

Your body can barely withstand them.

Why merge with so many?

Even if two Spirit Fires can greatly boost

your cultivation,

your body weakens

as your techniques advance.

Shut up.

You don't understand.

Slow-healing wounds are the least of your worries.

If you suffer a grave injury again,

it could cost you your life.

Who in this world could possibly hurt me?

Stop posturing, will you?

I'm warning you:

if you want to keep living peacefully,

sharing sweet days with the woman you love,

stop overusing your Spirit Fire techniques.

I don't want to perish with you.

Don't tell her about the two Spirit Fires.

Yan, someone is here for you.

He just won't give up.

I ran into him at the door when I returned from the market.

He said he wanted to see you.

My name is Heng Lin. Greetings, Grandmistress.

Aren't you the one from the black market

who knew where Grain Rain Vale was?

What brings you here?

I heard you had come to Winter City, so I came to seek you out.

Forgive my abrupt visit. I am here to invite you to Grain Rain Vale.

I can't go now.

I haven't saved enough for the trip.

Yan, the secluded place you mentioned

was Grain Rain Vale?

Yes.

Earlier, I failed to recognize your exalted identity.

I didn't know you were the Lord of Mercy's cultivation partner,

so I asked for 2,000 demon stones

as usual.

Your master, Dongyang Zhenren, has also settled at Grain Rain Vale.

When he learned you were in the Demon Realm,

he sent me to invite you.

Dongyang Zhenren? He's my master?

That's right.

Greetings, Grandmaster.

How was my relationship

with this Zhenren?

He bore you no ill will.

Grandmaster, Grandmistress,

if you come to Grain Rain Vale,

it will be our great honor.

We can go on vacation!

Wonderful.

And I get to bask in the Grandmistress's glory.

Of course, I will go with you.

[Grain Rain Vale, Demon Realm]

Follow me.

Look at those people.

Elsewhere, everyone tries

to appear glamorous,

but here, they simply enjoy themselves.

What a perfect place for seclusion.

Heng Lin, you're back.

And with so many guests.

I'm back.

They are our honored guests.

Welcome...

This way, everyone.

Come and play here.

Look.

Slow down.

I want to play too.

The flowers here are beautiful.

They are.

Lin!

- You've grown so tall. What about you? - Lin!

Come on.

- You've grown too. Let's go this way. - Come!

- What did you bring us... - Here, look.

- Lin? - I brought you something tasty.

What is it?

- I want some. - There's enough for everyone.

- Who wants some? - I want some too!

Look at Feng Qi, fitting in so naturally.

See?

He isn't intimidated by your Grandmaster at all.

Ever since Feng Qi arrived at Grain Rain Vale,

he has been trying to impress Tingyan.

Grandmaster, let's just get her out of here.

This is exactly the wrong time to leave.

Walking out now

would only look like conceding to Feng Qi.

You are clueless. Stop making bad suggestions.

Noisy.

- Here. - Here. Let's play together.

- Delicious? - Yes!

So yummy!

- Go on and eat. - Slow down. There's plenty.

- Let me try yours. - Here.

- Here you go. - Here's some more.

Don't drop it.

Tingyan?

You can have this one.

I want this one.

Take it slow.

It really is you.

You are my master, right?

Only 18 short years have passed,

and you have already forgotten me?

I am sorry. Something happened to me,

and I lost all my memories.

Junior Sister Liao, have you forgotten me as well?

Come and help me.

Say something.

I was so moved to see Tingyan again

after so long

that I failed to notice you had arrived as well, Grandmaster.

Apologies for the late welcome.

My disciples and I got separated back then,

and I fled here with Changqing.

I never thought I would live to see you again, Grandmaster.

Dongyang, what's going on?

Masters,

I've brought the Lord of Mercy and his cultivation partner.

Greetings, Lord of Mercy!

Who is the Lord of Mercy?

I don't know either.

Lord of Mercy, you have come such a long way.

[Master Hei, Master Shou, Master Pang] Do you have important business here?

I am only accompanying Tingyan on a vacation.

No need to be nervous. Please rise.

A vacation?

To fix the sleep schedule and unwind...

To fix my sleep schedule and unwind.

In short...

In short, to take a vacation.

...a vacation.

What a fine word.

May I ask, Grandmaster,

how long you plan to stay in Grain Rain Vale?

It's up to her.

Everyone,

please allow me to lead you to rest for now.

Later, we will hold a banquet for you, our honored guests.

But unlike the outside world,

we have only simple vegetables, fruits, and livestock.

Please forgive us for the lack of delicacies.

Then why don't we have a barbecue together?

I have plenty of grills with me.

Everyone can just bring

whatever they've grown or raised.

In that case,

we will hold a barbecue gathering.

Grandmaster, what do you think?

As the Grandmistress wishes.

Then the masters and I

will go make preparations.

Yes.

That was a bit dramatic.

Enjoy yourself here.

I will return after giving some instructions.

All right... Come on. Let's go have fun.

Greetings, Grandmaster.

Grandmaster, is there anything else you need?

Are all those in charge of Grain Rain Vale here?

Yes, they are all here.

You sent Heng Lin to bring Liao Tingyan here.

What was your true purpose?

I heard that Tingyan had strayed into the Demon Realm,

so I invited her here to reunite.

We mean no harm.

It is true.

With your special identities,

it is indeed wise to be cautious.

For Grain Rain Vale to be graced

by the Grandmaster and Grandmistress

is our great honor.

Then please take good care of her.

We will do everything we can to look after our honored guests.

This is like a paradise in the Demon Realm.

Do you like it here?

Very much.

There are no corpses on the road,

and no killing or looting.

People here live in peace.

Sunshine is everywhere,

and the air smells of flowers.

It's the perfect place for rest and living.

If you wish, both the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm

can become the paradise you want.

Stop feeding me empty promises.

I am content just to enjoy a vacation

here in Grain Rain Vale.

My destiny

is to live a carefree life, eating, drinking,

and enjoying myself.

You are more and more like your old self.

What was I like?

Always talking nonsense, unable to take much strain,

and fond of eating and sleeping.

It's all thanks to you.

What's this?

Open it.

More pills?

If I eat all these,

won't I be soaring to the highest realm?

You can't keep doing this,

or you'll run out of blood.

These are only for taste.

No blood needed.

Then what's the point of eating them?

You like their taste, don't you?

Just eat them as candy.

Eat some more.

If you finish, I'll have them make more.

Too much candy turns bitter.

Taking it slow makes it taste better.

What are you doing? You need to cut that up.

It looks nicer this way.

Feng Qi, get some more of this.

I like it.

All right.

- Quick, come here. - Is this done yet?

Yes...

- Put it down here. - Hurry.

Get two skewers fresh off the grill.

Here, my lord.

It smells so good.

Lamb skewers.

These are lamb skewers, fat and lean together.

Silly.

You eat them like this.

Senior Sister,

whose Qingling melons do you think

are better, his or mine?

They are both good.

We were just arguing

over whose melon deserves

to be called the true Qingling melon.

Please judge for us.

Please taste them.

Yours is sweet, and yours is crisp.

I say call this Sweet Qingling Melon

and this Crisp Qingling Melon.

Thank you.

Please enjoy!

Thank you, Senior Sister.

Junior Sister Liao, and sir,

please try the beef of the celestial ox I raised.

My junior sister

carefully marinated and grilled it.

Paired with our vale's wine,

the taste is excellent.

He rarely

slaughters his treasured oxen.

Even we hardly ever get to eat this.

Go on. Try these.

You don't want to? Then have a drink!

Here.

Don't be rude!

You two have never left the vale,

so you don't know who this great man is.

Mind your manners.

It's all right.

The truth is,

he never eats this sort of thing,

so I am eating all of these.

If he won't drink, I'll drink with you.

To celebrate Tingyan's reunion with her master,

I will drink a cup as well.

How nice. I wish I had a cultivation partner too.

Senior Sister,

- is it hard to find one? - Here's to you, Grandmaster.

Not too hard, I suppose.

Don't ask what you shouldn't.

Senior Sister, how did you and your partner

find each other?

Don't you still have work to finish?

- Go. - Come on.

- Go. - Let's go.

What are you laughing at?

They all seem so scared of you.

Anyone who knows my name fears me.

I don't fear you.

You don't?

I'm terrified.

Grandmaster, Tingyan,

try this braised duck.

The Demon Realm is not like the Immortal Realm. With spirit veins scarce,

we had to work very hard

to raise these Lvhua ducks.

They are tender and delicious, though.

Let me try.

Delicate texture, juicy, and so tasty I feel...

Like your tongue might melt away.

How did you know I was about to say that?

This duck really is delicious.

And it seems nourishing.

I feel so energized right now.

Junior Sister, Master, come and try this!

Let's go.

Coming!

Thank you.

Grandmaster, are you all right?

I'm fine.

If this goes on, Tingyan will find out.

Quiet.

Spirit Fire, coveted by all,

is nothing good at all.

I'm telling you,

it's all thanks to our sect's protection

that we get to live such a carefree life,

don't you think?

Yes.

Tingyan.

Did you enjoy yourself here at Grain Rain Vale today?

I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time.

Though Grain Rain Vale lies in the Demon Realm,

it has nothing in common with it.

When I first arrived, I, too, found it unbelievable.

If I could always live

in such a peaceful and pleasant place,

that'd be nice.

Yan.

If you like it here,

we can stay here together.

What, are you done looking for the one you love?

I have never stopped searching for her.

And soon,

I will find her.

Congratulations.

If you can find her,

bringing her here to live

would be a fine choice.

You will understand soon enough.

Master.

I feel a little drunk.

Then go back and rest.

I've eaten my fill as well.

I will head back soon.

All right.

Be careful.

Cheer up.

I think Yan and the Grandmaster are a perfect match.

Besides,

Yan has obviously developed feelings for him.

Don't tell me you can't see it.

Feng Qi, if you ask me,

you should just

stay her friend.

Really.

It's still too early

to say who wins and who loses.

Fool. Truly a fool.

Hongluo.

Look over there.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

Would you take a walk with me?

Everyone has their own troubles.

So that's a yes?

Has my tolerance gotten worse?

How am I this drunk from just half a jug?

Yan, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I must have drunk too much. I feel a little dizzy,

and even strangely cold.

Yan, does this place feel familiar to you?

Grain Rain Vale?

It does seem familiar.

Could it be

you really came here before

but forgot?

If you don't remember, I can help you.

Sorry, Feng Qi. I think I'm too drunk

to think straight.

Let's talk tomorrow.

I'll walk you back.

No need. I'll walk around to sober up.

Did you have fun?

I did.

I thought these 18 years in the Demon Realm

had changed me completely.

As long as your soul isn't gone...

No.

Even if your soul were reborn,

I'm confident I would still recognize you.

If you can always be

this confident,

then I, too, have faith

I could recognize you at first sight.
