"Episode 7 Retrospection"

There he is!

Hurry up, boss!

Leave it to me.

You... Why aren't you screaming?

Boss, we can't hold on for much longer!

If you keep doing this, I'll keep telling your dad about it.

The little human prince is so rude!

We've tried to provoke him many times, yet he still won't play with boss.

Yeah!

I don't want to play with him! Stop saying nonsense!

Boss, forget it. You've been getting spanked a lot lately.

You think I'd be afraid of my dad?

Hurry up and think of a way to punish him.

You keep doing this, snitch! I dare you to stop snitching to my dad, snitch!

The brat sure liked to bother you.

I guess he yearned for the things he couldn't have.

Lingyuan, are you feeling better?

Come get some pear nectar from us later.

Sure.

Here, have some.

They called you Lingyuan, too?

Lingyuan is a pet name given to me by an elder.

People rarely called me by my official name.

Lingyuan? Lingyuan refers to the abyss.

What kind of an elder would give him such a name?

Now I know the true meaning of a magical place.

I thought the Wu people were living like witches.

But, Your Majesty, you said the spell would keep you in your memories.

Does that mean we are stuck here now?

The majestic Human Emperor actually has a soft side,

and a dream he doesn't want to be woken up from?

I think we should...

You have a point. Why don't you ask me what you want to know?

I can try to skip past these trivial events.

If it keeps you here, how can it be trivial?

Well then, what do you suggest?

Did you make up with that future clan leader?

What did he do this time?

He stole a panic herb from the elder and left it under my pillow.

When their leader found out about it, he punished Aluojin in public.

It hurts his ego, so he ran away that night.

What's a panic herb?

It's used for cultivation. It can make you recall your deepest fear.

Afterwards, I always carried it with me.

But, no matter how good of an herb it was, its effect was too strong for a beginner.

I didn't dare to sleep that night.

We were just agonizing over how to enter the Wu people's place.

Luckily, this boy came to us and became the perfect hostage.

What great luck!

Do you think the Wu people would exchange you for the little prince?

Come, we'll have meat tonight to celebrate!

Relax, such is the way of life.

This happened thousands of years ago. It has nothing to do with your generation.

I wasn't...

Stop crying! Shut it!

Let's go.

Don't just stand there, move it.

Brother, at least cover her.

One day...

One day, I'll bring peace to the damned,

and bury all the graveless dead.

I'll do it with you!

That was a huge time skip. What year is this?

After living in Dongzhou for six years,

the humans broke through the fiend's encirclement and brought me back.

That also signaled the start of the humans' counterattack.

Aluojin went with you to the war zone?

Aluojin had a big fight with his father.

He went against the Wu people's ancestral instruction to never leave Dongzhou...

...and left with a group of young men.

He wanted to fight alongside me to reclaim peace.

What am I doing?

Glory and victory to the Human Emperor!

Here, have some pears.

Thank you, I'll give them to the Wu people's leader. He likes them.

Long live the Human Emperor!

Thank you, Brother Lingyuan.

Since when did he become the leader?

That's a good question.

Leader, don't act rashly! Leader!

Brother, they lied to me.

They're lying, aren't they? Aren't they?

Half a month ago, your letter was intercepted by the flying mouse clan.

They replaced the messenger with a puppet, and the leader didn't notice...

Aluojin.

That was the first time Aluojin wrote back home since he left.

He didn't want me to think he was weak, so he kept it a secret from me,

and asked the person he trusted most to send the letter back. But...

I, Aluojin, swear to exterminate all fiends in this world!

After the old leader was killed, Aluojin became the Wu people's leader.

The fiends became their bitter enemy, and they fully supported the humans.

But you two fought each other later.

Was it because he was too obsessed with revenge?

It was because of me.

Your Majesty, the Wu people are our vassals,

yet Aluojin calls your name as if he's an equal. That's unacceptable!

My name is nothing to be ashamed of.

If others want to call me by my name, I'll allow it.

Your Majesty, the Wu people's leader is fond of wine and women.

He speaks rudely of meritorious courtiers after getting drunk!

I'll appease those who've been wronged,

but don't try to take advantage of Aluojin when he is drunk.

Your Majesty, the enemy had surrendered,

but Aluojin insisted on killing every single one of them!

Not only was it horrendous-- with such a bloody reputation,

enemies will fight us to the death in the future.

That will only cost us more lives, Your Majesty!

Keep this under wrap. Tell the public that the fiends pretended to surrender,

but Aluojin found out about their nefarious plan and killed them all.

Wait.

Your Majesty.

I've promised to provide protection to the half fiends.

If they come to us, make sure to keep them away from the Wu people.

Aluojin saw things in absolute.

Under the pressure of leading his people and his desire for revenge,

his actions slowly became more extreme.

I think Your Majesty was biased toward him. Even now...

Wait, this has nothing to do with me. Why am I saying this?

What were you carving?

A mask for Aluojin.

According to the Wu's custom,

families should carve masks for their younglings...

...on Exorcism Day, have a stroll at night,

and pray for well-being for the next year.

I set up Qingping Agency to accommodate the half fiends,

and I kept it hidden from him.

But there were too many people who wished him dead, so someone leaked the news.

When he heard, he abandoned his duty at the front lines and came to argue with me.

Have you forgotten your promise to me?

Release him when he cools off. Don't keep him inside for too long.

Understood.

Your Majesty, his hatred toward the fiends will become a problem.

Who is this?

What's wrong?

Your Majesty, Aluojin broke out from the jail!

This is... the Wu people's ancestral hall!

The ancestral hall is open, children and elderly should enter first.

You're right, I overindulged him.

After he broke out of jail, he recalled the Wu's army to Dongzhou on impulse.

The fiends seized the chance and pushed our army back for 30 kilometers.

Almost none of the people living there survived.

The people and half fiends already resented him to begin with.

In a fit of rage, they laid siege to Dongzhou before I got there.

The Wu people had no choice but to retreat into their ancestral hall.

Leader, all 40,000 plus people are here. What do we wait for?

They shared their spells with the humans, so they couldn't hold them back.

So he tried to hide inside the ancestral hall and wait for...

Me. He was waiting for me to rescue him.

Brother Lingyuan.

You'll forgive me and rescue me, won't you?

Who is there? This is a sacred place, you're not allowed to enter here!
