[The Unclouded Soul]

00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,789
[Episode 2]

3
00:01:40,509 --> 00:01:41,759
I haven't bathed in days,

4
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:42,710
and I haven't even relieved myself.

5
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:44,000
I just smell sour and foul—

6
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,600
I wouldn't taste good at all.

7
00:01:46,229 --> 00:01:47,920
Where did the half-demon blood in you

8
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,870
come from?

9
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,430
What half-demon?

10
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,039
I don't understand any of that.

11
00:01:54,039 --> 00:01:55,650
I'm just a commoner.

12
00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:56,640
A demon hunter

13
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:58,960
can't be called a commoner.

14
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,840
Those are all fake—

15
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
just ordinary coarse paper.

16
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,300
If they were real,
you'd have reacted by now.

17
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,150
You really do stink.

18
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:11,470
Mm-hmm.

19
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:12,000
In that case,

20
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,590
I'll just have to find a rat demon
to eat you.

21
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:16,400
No, no,

22
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:16,960
no, no, no—

23
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,240
Boss, Cat Boss,

24
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,280
please don't eat me.

25
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,280
You've seen me—

26
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,900
I have no demonic power.

27
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,300
A swindler like you

28
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:25,010
is even less worthy of living.

29
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:25,900
Stop!

30
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:35,590
Since you claim not to be a demon hunter,

31
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:36,870
what is your name?

32
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,780
Where is your home?

33
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:41,850
Is anyone else in your family?

34
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:45,920
My name is Xiao Yao.

35
00:02:46,079 --> 00:02:47,630
It's just my father and me in my family.

36
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:49,960
My father used to be a hunter in Wenling,

37
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:52,000
but then the magistrate's office
forced us to catch demons.

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,150
W-We didn't know how to catch a demon,
and we didn't understand any of it.

39
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:55,150
I had no choice

40
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:57,120
but to team up with some fellow villagers

41
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280
to scam people—just to get by.

42
00:02:59,630 --> 00:03:01,090
What is your date of birth?

43
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,160
I don't know.

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,870
I really don't know.

45
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,710
My mother died
right after giving birth to me.

46
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:07,800
My father said he just remembers

47
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,750
it was a winter night,

48
00:03:08,750 --> 00:03:10,030
heavy snow falling,

49
00:03:10,030 --> 00:03:12,030
and when the wind blew,
plum blossoms swirled into the room—

50
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:13,290
that's when I was born.

51
00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:14,840
Really, I'm not lying.

52
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:17,800
What do you want from me?

53
00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:41,490
Now

54
00:03:41,950 --> 00:03:44,060
you can never lose me.

55
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:45,710
No matter where I go,

56
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,720
no matter how many years pass—

57
00:03:47,970 --> 00:03:49,600
you will always find me.

58
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:53,079
If you must kill me, then kill me—

59
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:55,170
but do not dishonor me,

60
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:02,420
my lord demon.

61
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,590
My Lord,

62
00:04:12,330 --> 00:04:14,370
it seems she is not Ning'an.

63
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,870
Please rest now

64
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:18,560
and leave

65
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,320
the rest to me.

66
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,020
No need.

67
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,720
My Lord,

68
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,710
she merely resembles Ning'an. That is all.

69
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,510
Excuse me, have you all
come to an agreement?

70
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:37,310
Is it possible to release me now?

71
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:43,870
Thank you so much!

72
00:04:43,870 --> 00:04:45,130
What a truly good soul—

73
00:04:45,190 --> 00:04:46,450
no, a truly good demon!

74
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,730
Find two minor demons to guard her.

75
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:55,830
Once it's done,

76
00:04:56,409 --> 00:04:56,950
come find me.

77
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:57,680
Yes, My Lord.

78
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,000
My Lord,

79
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:05,990
Ning'an is dead.

80
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:08,270
Xiao Mu saw it with his own eyes.

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,240
This woman

82
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,920
may seem unusual,

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,950
but I swear

84
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,600
she is not Ning'an.

85
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Switch to Xiao Mu.

86
00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:20,040
My Lord, you...

87
00:05:20,430 --> 00:05:20,950
You...

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,770
I, Xiao Mu, am here, My Lord.

89
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,510
Tell me everything

90
00:05:28,510 --> 00:05:30,170
that happened after my death—

91
00:05:31,450 --> 00:05:33,580
every detail, without missing a word.

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,680
The best decision

93
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,800
I ever made in this life

94
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,870
was meeting you.

95
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,090
After the crowd dispersed,

96
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,750
I retrieved your clothes—

97
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,120
still carrying a trace
of your primordial spirit—

98
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,660
intending to return to Demons' Valley
and preserve it with care.

99
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:32,920
But by then, the demons in Demons' Valley

100
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:35,130
had already been slaughtered by humans.

101
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:37,070
I had no choice but to seal your spirit

102
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:39,560
within an ancient tree deep in the heart
of Qingyuan Mountain.

103
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,170
Drawing upon
the mountain's spiritual energy

104
00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:43,159
and your cultivation,

105
00:06:43,159 --> 00:06:44,830
it would have taken only 300 years

106
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:46,430
for you to regain human form.

107
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:48,360
Over the years,

108
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,690
demons have been hunted
nearly to extinction by humans.

109
00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:54,140
The survivors each
harbor their own agendas.

110
00:06:54,140 --> 00:06:55,840
I gathered those minor demons who hadn't
yet awakened their spiritual awareness

111
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,270
back to the one small corner
of Demons' Valley

112
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:58,950
that remained untouched,

113
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,460
trained them
to strengthen their power,

114
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:03,320
and prepared for your awakening.

115
00:07:03,780 --> 00:07:05,440
But just a century had passed,

116
00:07:05,940 --> 00:07:07,570
and who could have foreseen

117
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040
that this woman would
disturb your primordial spirit…

118
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,300
You have endured much.

119
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,360
My Lord,

120
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,880
my life—Xiao Ming's too—

121
00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:18,390
was given by you.

122
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Without you,

123
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,730
we would have remained stray cats,

124
00:07:22,990 --> 00:07:24,720
abused and forgotten,

125
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,240
living out mere years in the human realm.

126
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,970
So anything we do for you

127
00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:32,530
is only what we ought to do.

128
00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:35,300
It's just...

129
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,390
now that you have been forcibly awakened
before your time,

130
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:42,270
your three souls and seven spirits
have not yet fully returned.

131
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:44,730
Your spiritual power
is greatly diminished

132
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,750
and will require daily cultivation

133
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,270
to restore it swiftly.

134
00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:51,750
To regain my power rapidly,

135
00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:54,240
the most effective way

136
00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:58,460
is to find the Yuli Spring
before the humans do

137
00:07:59,930 --> 00:08:01,190
and claim it for my own.

138
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,510
But to locate the Yuli Spring,

139
00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:07,110
I still need the guidance
of the Kunlun Mirror.

140
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,220
The ancient Kunlun Mirror

141
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:10,480
was shattered on the day of your wedding,

142
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,750
its fragments scattered
across the three realms.

143
00:08:12,750 --> 00:08:14,080
In these hundred years,

144
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,050
only you have ever succeeded
in finding pieces of the mirror.

145
00:08:17,050 --> 00:08:20,070
Now, every clan is growing desperate
in their search for the Yuli Spring—

146
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:21,560
especially since your awakening

147
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,750
has also stirred the reappearance
of the Dreamshard.

148
00:08:23,750 --> 00:08:26,400
If you leave Demons' Valley now
to seek the mirror,

149
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,310
you will become a target for all.
It is far too dangerous.

150
00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:30,240
We implore you

151
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:33,240
to remain in the valley
and recover your strength for now.

152
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,940
My Lord, My Lord—

153
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:36,559
the human girl has escaped!

154
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:37,909
How could you let this happen?

155
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:39,240
Weren't you told
to keep a close watch on her?

156
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,000
How could she escape?

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,080
She said she needed to relieve herself.

158
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,200
If we didn't let her out,

159
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,460
she threatened to do it right
in the room.

160
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:27,510
Hey, little ones,

161
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:32,370
why did you take my bag?

162
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,170
Tell your friends
to give it back to me.

163
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,070
So this is your hideout?

164
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,630
How adorable...

165
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,960
Sorry about that,

166
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,630
um—

167
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,580
I'll fix it for you right now.

168
00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:35,790
Stop hitting me, and I'll fix it!

169
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:43,320
I'm really sorry!

170
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,380
I'll help repair this bridge for you.

171
00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:48,270
Looks like it can't really

172
00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:49,580
be fixed after all…

173
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,200
Um, maybe you should fix it yourselves.

174
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,660
W-Who told you
to snatch my bag first anyway?

175
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:55,920
Next time, I'll help you fix it properly.

176
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,080
Um,

177
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,630
sorry, sorry—

178
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:16,630
it wasn't on purpose.

179
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:17,360
I just

180
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,970
accidentally broke them,

181
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,920
but it was your little ones

182
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,050
who snatched my bag first!

183
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,440
Next time I have a chance,
I'll help you fix it for real!

184
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:35,750
Stop chasing me!

185
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,180
I already said I'd help you!

186
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:41,990
Demons, begone!

187
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Blast you!

188
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,380
Blast you all!

189
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:47,840
Dad!

190
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,120
I'll blast you to pieces!

191
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,080
She disappeared right here.

192
00:12:21,610 --> 00:12:22,510
My Lord,

193
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:24,020
there's no need to worry.

194
00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:25,150
With her level of skill,

195
00:12:25,150 --> 00:12:27,630
she could never breach the barrier
of Demons' Valley.

196
00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:29,230
But given her level of skill,

197
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:32,570
she'd be in danger if she
encountered a demon with ill intentions.

198
00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:34,230
It is time to gather all demons

199
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,290
back under my command.

200
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,870
I finally found this place!

201
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Until our paths cross again!

202
00:13:32,510 --> 00:13:33,530
What's going on?

203
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:50,750
How unusual—

204
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,450
a being from another race
has actually entered Demons' Valley.

205
00:13:54,450 --> 00:13:55,840
[Hei Wu]

206
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,500
How did you cross the barrier?

207
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,640
And how many others are with you?

208
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:07,130
All of you—stand down!

209
00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:17,250
A century has passed,

210
00:15:17,390 --> 00:15:19,520
Demon Lord, I trust you have been well.

211
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:21,720
A century ago,
you were defeated by my hand.

212
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,830
I ordered you to cultivate
in the Pipa Cave

213
00:15:23,830 --> 00:15:25,840
and refrain from meddling
in demon affairs.

214
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,680
Why have you left without permission?

215
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,650
Well, with the Demon Lord absent,

216
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,070
chaos spread among our demon kind.

217
00:15:31,070 --> 00:15:32,850
I merely guarded this last stretch

218
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:35,050
of land in Demons' Valley in your stead.

219
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:43,800
Demon Lord,
congratulations on regaining human form.

220
00:15:43,830 --> 00:15:45,230
Now that I have returned,

221
00:15:45,270 --> 00:15:47,470
the demons shall be under my care again.

222
00:15:47,630 --> 00:15:48,360
Come with me.

223
00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:49,030
Not so fast.

224
00:15:50,330 --> 00:15:51,930
This outsider girl

225
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,060
carries demon-repelling artifacts on her

226
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:55,720
and trespassed into Demons' Valley—

227
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,590
clearly she bears ill will
toward our demon kind.

228
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:00,280
I, Hei Wu, dare not question
the Demon Lord,

229
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,720
but neither can I ignore a threat
to the demon kind.

230
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,390
What would you have us do?

231
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,170
I didn't even want to come here—
I'll leave right now.

232
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,220
How I act requires

233
00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:18,240
no commentary from you.

234
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:19,600
Demon Lord,

235
00:16:20,390 --> 00:16:23,120
mercy and softness will not
achieve great deeds.

236
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,550
Or perhaps your will
outruns your strength.

237
00:16:25,550 --> 00:16:27,390
If you cannot ensure
the safety of Demons' Valley,

238
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:28,030
I, Hei Wu,

239
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
am willing to act in your stead,
Demon Lord.

240
00:16:51,550 --> 00:16:53,150
The "great deed" you speak of

241
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:55,640
is nothing but the Yuli Spring.

242
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,430
As your Demon Lord,

243
00:16:58,050 --> 00:17:00,070
I will lead you to the spring

244
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:02,790
and help all demons
attain full power.

245
00:17:02,890 --> 00:17:05,390
But if you harbor any other ambitions,

246
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:07,910
I'm happy to show you exactly

247
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
how ruthless I can be.

248
00:17:11,069 --> 00:17:13,030
Yes, my Lord.

249
00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:19,920
What—

250
00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:22,790
do you still wish to stay among them?

251
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,930
Just now he clearly suffered damage
to his spiritual power,

252
00:17:37,930 --> 00:17:38,790
yet he still...

253
00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:40,730
Forgive my incompetence.

254
00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:42,020
[Wu Huan]

255
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:43,480
Forgive my incompetence.

256
00:17:45,550 --> 00:17:47,950
Hong Ye remains a force
to be reckoned with.

257
00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:04,520
Are you hurt as well?

258
00:18:04,910 --> 00:18:06,030
Why would I be hurt?

259
00:18:08,350 --> 00:18:08,920
My Lord,

260
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:09,920
I…

261
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,480
I, Xiao Ming, will take my leave for now.

262
00:18:15,390 --> 00:18:18,320
If you need anything,
please remember to call for me.

263
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:44,310
You—what are you doing?

264
00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:45,200
Let go of me!

265
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:46,240
Let go!

266
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:46,880
Y-You…

267
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:48,590
I never expected the exalted Demon Lord

268
00:18:48,590 --> 00:18:50,920
to stoop so low
as to bully an ordinary girl!

269
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,880
Are you truly an ordinary girl?

270
00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:53,510
I…

271
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,590
you…

272
00:19:00,290 --> 00:19:02,090
Fine, I am not an ordinary woman—

273
00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:04,270
and I suggest you release me.

274
00:19:04,270 --> 00:19:06,030
If you don't, then I'll—

275
00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:08,790
You'll what?

276
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,440
Stop right there.

277
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:21,960
As a demon,

278
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:23,890
yet knowing no demonic arts,

279
00:19:23,980 --> 00:19:25,840
you should remain in Demons' Valley

280
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,370
and properly learn
to wield spiritual power.

281
00:19:30,350 --> 00:19:31,640
That's ridiculous.

282
00:19:32,060 --> 00:19:34,160
I was perfectly fine in the human realm—

283
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,350
first dragged here for no reason,

284
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,680
and now you want me

285
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,880
to study demonic arts out of nowhere.

286
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,110
I'm human.

287
00:19:40,130 --> 00:19:41,590
You were able to awaken me,

288
00:19:42,110 --> 00:19:43,710
which proves you are a demon,

289
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,640
not human.

290
00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:47,720
The only reason
I've kept you alive until now

291
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,980
is because demon blood flows within you.

292
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,270
You might

293
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:53,670
as well accept it—you are a demon.

294
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:55,000
I was born of my mother

295
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,750
and raised by my father.

296
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:56,880
I am not a demon.

297
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:58,830
Demons eat people—I don't.

298
00:19:59,510 --> 00:20:00,700
Demons eat people—

299
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:01,770
Yet you do not.

300
00:20:05,470 --> 00:20:06,990
Say that again.

301
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:11,590
Just

302
00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:14,720
who are you?

303
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,220
Ning'an,

304
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:34,970
I have recovered the ancient Kunlun Mirror
for you.

305
00:20:35,070 --> 00:20:36,480
All that came before

306
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,440
was merely to unsettle your mind.

307
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:42,240
Ning'an,

308
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:44,660
toward me,

309
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,100
have you ever felt anything true?

310
00:21:19,030 --> 00:21:20,160
From this day forth,

311
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:23,990
you are forbidden
to leave Demons' Valley.

312
00:21:24,910 --> 00:21:27,910
Take one step beyond it,
and you will be shown no mercy.

313
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,550
Move!

314
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,270
My Lord!

315
00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:48,110
It's nothing.

316
00:21:49,030 --> 00:21:50,610
I sustained a minor injury

317
00:21:50,790 --> 00:21:53,520
during the earlier clash with Hei Wu—
that is all.

318
00:22:11,590 --> 00:22:12,480
Who are you?

319
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,670
I'm Luoluo,

320
00:22:13,670 --> 00:22:13,830
[Luoluo]

321
00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:14,750
and she's Dali.

322
00:22:14,830 --> 00:22:15,790
The Lord sent us

323
00:22:16,110 --> 00:22:17,350
to bring you something to eat.

324
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:17,880
Mm-hmm.

325
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:19,030
Eat up.

326
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:20,760
It's delicious.

327
00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:29,750
[Dali]

328
00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:36,700
Here, have some too.

329
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:39,490
He won't eat—he's not hungry.

330
00:22:41,950 --> 00:22:43,160
Just you eat.

331
00:22:45,210 --> 00:22:46,540
Then I won't eat either.

332
00:22:49,070 --> 00:22:49,870
What's wrong?

333
00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:53,060
It's poisoned, isn't it?

334
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,480
It's not poisoned. Eat.

335
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,330
Enough now—put it down.

336
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:12,400
He's waiting for you outside.

337
00:23:16,510 --> 00:23:17,840
Can I borrow something?

338
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,270
Borrow what?

339
00:23:35,030 --> 00:23:36,640
Why are you dressed like that?

340
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,590
I've noticed you demons

341
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:39,250
always seem to aim for my neck.

342
00:23:40,550 --> 00:23:41,680
Are your wounds any better?

343
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,410
I've recovered from the wound,

344
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,480
but my body aches.

345
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,200
That bed of yours is way too hard—

346
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,350
my back just can't…

347
00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:49,550
But it's fine, really.

348
00:23:49,550 --> 00:23:50,790
Just let me go

349
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:52,050
and the pain will stop.

350
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:56,480
Follow me.

351
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,400
Do you know

352
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:15,450
that all living things possess a spirit?

353
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:17,160
I do.

354
00:24:18,330 --> 00:24:18,960
Demons

355
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,920
are born from the cultivation
of all beings in this world.

356
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:27,140
For a demon, the path of cultivation
is exceptionally difficult.

357
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:28,940
One must possess innate wisdom,

358
00:24:29,670 --> 00:24:31,510
draw upon the essence
of heaven and earth,

359
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:33,510
follow the laws of nature's cycles,

360
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:36,950
endure countless seasons and moons—

361
00:24:37,790 --> 00:24:39,650
only then may one take human form.

362
00:24:40,350 --> 00:24:41,160
Even so,

363
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:44,010
they must still evade pursuit

364
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,120
from both humans and their own kind.

365
00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:52,110
Are you going to tell me the history
of Demons' Valley?

366
00:24:55,340 --> 00:24:56,820
I want you to understand

367
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:59,170
that the demon race, like human race,

368
00:24:59,350 --> 00:25:01,300
is also a unique part of this world.

369
00:25:02,970 --> 00:25:04,070
You're right.

370
00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:07,790
But I'm still human, not a demon.

371
00:25:07,790 --> 00:25:10,250
That's a distinction
that can't be blurred.

372
00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:15,680
Whatever you believe,

373
00:25:16,780 --> 00:25:19,510
you are ultimately different
from other humans.

374
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:21,480
People will not accept demons—

375
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,360
and they will not accept you.

376
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,180
Now that you've entered Demons' Valley,

377
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:29,980
you already carry an aura
of demonic energy that cannot be cleansed.

378
00:25:31,070 --> 00:25:32,360
How is that possible?

379
00:25:32,590 --> 00:25:33,720
Don't lie to me—

380
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,520
how could I have demonic energy?

381
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Then tell me,

382
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,270
Then tell me: why did Luoluo and Dali

383
00:25:39,270 --> 00:25:40,960
not recognize you as human?

384
00:25:45,790 --> 00:25:47,850
Humans will see you as an aberration—

385
00:25:47,930 --> 00:25:49,010
they will fear you,

386
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:50,790
scorn you,

387
00:25:51,270 --> 00:25:52,720
and even seek your death.

388
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:55,080
What if the one I'm about to kill

389
00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:56,550
is a demon?

390
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,050
She is not a demon.

391
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,190
Many people came to my home,
splashed dog blood,

392
00:26:01,540 --> 00:26:05,200
drove us from place to place—
hunted and reviled wherever we went.

393
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,360
Don't talk as if you know humans so well.

394
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,180
Better than you humans know yourselves.

395
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,550
As the ruler of all demons,

396
00:26:32,570 --> 00:26:36,230
I am also responsible for the lives
of every demon under my charge.

397
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,270
If you leave,

398
00:26:38,110 --> 00:26:39,440
the demons will believe

399
00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:42,470
Demons' Valley
has been exposed to danger.

400
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:44,480
That is why I will not let you go.

401
00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:47,140
Let me offer you

402
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,830
well-meant advice:
accept my proposal gladly,

403
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:52,450
settle here in Demons' Valley.

404
00:26:52,450 --> 00:26:54,110
I will arrange lessons for you

405
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,070
so you may soon cultivate spiritual power

406
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:58,270
and learn to conceal your demonic aura.

407
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,100
After that,

408
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,140
both the demon realm and the human realm
will be open to you.

409
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:05,590
And if I insist on leaving?

410
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:09,980
Suit yourself.

411
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,920
Hello, everyone.

412
00:27:32,410 --> 00:27:34,010
Don't attack. Don't attack.

413
00:27:38,030 --> 00:27:39,190
I'm Xiao Yao.

414
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,730
Last time was my fault—

415
00:27:40,830 --> 00:27:43,520
I accidentally damaged your place,

416
00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:45,390
but I'm here to make up for it now.

417
00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:47,350
Really, I mean it.

418
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:49,110
Look, I've even brought tools.

419
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:50,820
The bridge.

420
00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:56,520
Well, I'll be staying here
for a few days.

421
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,110
Since fate has brought us together,

422
00:27:58,110 --> 00:28:00,000
how about we get along peacefully?

423
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,590
Alright,

424
00:28:00,610 --> 00:28:02,070
come over and give it a try.

425
00:28:09,410 --> 00:28:10,510
You know, I noticed

426
00:28:10,510 --> 00:28:12,240
something's missing around here.

427
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,240
This time I'll build you a fence too—

428
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,120
that'll make things even safer.

429
00:28:23,710 --> 00:28:24,440
Sorry, sorry—

430
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,240
that wasn't on purpose, really!

431
00:28:26,350 --> 00:28:27,750
Who built your house last time anyway?

432
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:28,960
It's not very sturdy.

433
00:28:29,550 --> 00:28:31,070
But don't worry—now that I'm here,

434
00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:32,400
I'll make sure your home

435
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,660
won't budge even in wind

436
00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:34,740
or rain.

437
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:32,680
There, all done…

438
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:36,880
Alright, good.

439
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,410
From now on, we're friends!

440
00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:41,400
Do they have names?

441
00:29:42,510 --> 00:29:43,170
Zhuyu herb.

442
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,650
Zhuyu herb?

443
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:47,350
That sounds like the name of a plant.

444
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,810
Zhuyu herb originally grew
as spirit herb on Mount Zhaoyao.

445
00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:52,640
That land is harsh and cold,

446
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:55,640
making cultivation there
extremely difficult.

447
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Yet Zhuyu herb possesses
remarkable properties—

448
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,560
if humans consume it, they can go 7 days
without hunger or thirst.

449
00:30:01,910 --> 00:30:03,640
Because of that, in this world,

450
00:30:03,910 --> 00:30:08,240
the Zhuyu herb has been driven nearly
to extinction by human overharvesting.

451
00:30:11,830 --> 00:30:13,090
Only these few remain,

452
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:15,730
having fled to Demons' Valley

453
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,050
to escape becoming human sustenance.

454
00:30:20,770 --> 00:30:22,610
So you're edible.

455
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,890
If you apply yourself in your lessons,

456
00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:34,070
you may return to the human realm

457
00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:35,070
in just a few days.

458
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,570
Whew, just on time.

459
00:31:04,090 --> 00:31:05,890
Why are you taking my spot again?

460
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,440
Get out of here!

461
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,030
You get out!

462
00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:09,830
Move over already.

463
00:31:09,830 --> 00:31:11,240
Go, go!

464
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,030
Who are you cheering for?

465
00:31:12,030 --> 00:31:12,830
Come on!

466
00:31:13,030 --> 00:31:13,640
Try one.

467
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Do I really have to be
in the same class as these guys?

468
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:16,680
[Bamboo]

469
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,830
So sour.

470
00:31:17,830 --> 00:31:18,720
That can't be right.

471
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,860
Try another piece.

472
00:31:29,030 --> 00:31:30,090
What are you doing?

473
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,550
Just making sure you're not late.

474
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:31,960
I...

475
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:32,510
Look,

476
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,640
the crane's still flying.

477
00:31:36,070 --> 00:31:37,660
You lot who can fly—

478
00:31:37,790 --> 00:31:38,890
and live close by—

479
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,550
why can't you ever come early?

480
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:41,950
You are always late.

481
00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:43,240
Don't you feel guilty?

482
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,370
Aren't you ashamed?

483
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:52,440
It's your fault for having to eat—

484
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,270
now we're late!

485
00:31:53,270 --> 00:31:54,720
If you don't eat,
how do you have the strength to study?

486
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,510
Here, take it.

487
00:31:55,510 --> 00:31:56,200
Xiao Yao!

488
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,030
you're here! Come over.

489
00:31:59,510 --> 00:32:00,640
You're early!

490
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:01,600
Give me the book.

491
00:32:02,270 --> 00:32:02,790
This—

492
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,590
This is yours.

493
00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:04,920
Right, this is your seat.

494
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,680
This is mine.

495
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,000
-And this is Luoluo's seat.
-This is mine.

496
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,460
Everyone, gather around!

497
00:32:08,550 --> 00:32:10,810
-Hurry, hurry!
-We have a new classmate.

498
00:32:11,110 --> 00:32:11,600
Come over!

499
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

500
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,790
You're all still

501
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,830
minor demons
who haven't fully taken human form.

502
00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:18,400
Mm-hmm.

503
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,570
Mm-hmm.

504
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,680
I told you this would hold me back!

505
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:25,110
I've said so to the Lord—

506
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:26,350
but he insisted I be

507
00:32:26,350 --> 00:32:27,550
in the same class as you.

508
00:32:27,550 --> 00:32:29,160
We really shouldn't be classmates.

509
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,690
Or maybe you're just afraid
to be in our class—

510
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,790
afraid we'll find out

511
00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:41,070
the Lord has been granting you
private tutelage.

512
00:32:41,070 --> 00:32:42,240
Yeah, for sure—

513
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,160
extra lessons behind our backs.

514
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,590
Right,

515
00:32:43,590 --> 00:32:44,070
definitely.

516
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:44,720
I knew it.

517
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:47,160
We've been training for years
and still look like this.

518
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,550
Sweating now, aren't you?

519
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:49,640
What kind of demon are you anyway?

520
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,350
Yes, if we can't even tell your true form,
something's off.

521
00:32:52,350 --> 00:32:53,070
Look!

522
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,720
My true form

523
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,720
is

524
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,160
a white snake.

525
00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:01,950
A Snake?

526
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,160
It was a night of falling blossoms.

527
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,730
I was lost in the forest,

528
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:09,960
hunted by human trappers.

529
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:11,710
At the most perilous moment,

530
00:33:11,790 --> 00:33:15,640
a hero in blue robes descended
from the heavens

531
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,370
and saved me from certain doom.

532
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,450
A hero in blue robes…

533
00:33:25,510 --> 00:33:26,480
Could that be the Lord?

534
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,960
Shh!

535
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,070
The Lord told me not to speak of it—
so don't ask more.

536
00:33:31,070 --> 00:33:31,720
We can't say that. We can't.

537
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,510
Xiao Yao,

538
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:36,550
that mouth of yours
certainly doesn't go to waste.

539
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,340
Can't stop boasting, can you?

540
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,160
True.

541
00:33:40,750 --> 00:33:41,310
Right?

542
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,030
My Lord.

543
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,920
Do you have something to do?

544
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,510
I—well, yes.

545
00:33:49,030 --> 00:33:51,000
I was just worried the Lord
might be concerned,

546
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,930
so I came specially to check and see

547
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:54,340
if she was holding her own.

548
00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:55,750
With that sharp tongue of hers,

549
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:56,750
why would I worry?

550
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,510
If you are not worried,

551
00:34:01,510 --> 00:34:03,070
then why come here

552
00:34:03,070 --> 00:34:05,000
instead of cultivating properly?

553
00:34:12,190 --> 00:34:13,030
My Lord—

554
00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:14,520
I'm sorry! My Lord!

555
00:34:14,670 --> 00:34:16,550
Please put me down, My Lord!

556
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,520
You're a white snake?

557
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,300
Mm-hmm.

558
00:34:22,510 --> 00:34:24,170
Then can I give you something?

559
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,170
A welcoming gift?

560
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:31,960
You don't like it?

561
00:34:33,710 --> 00:34:35,469
I do,

562
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,320
but I've quit that.

563
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,190
Nowadays I only eat humans.

564
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,199
You eat humans!

565
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:42,230
Y-You eat humans?

566
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:43,190
You're amazing!

567
00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:44,030
She actually eats humans!

568
00:34:44,030 --> 00:34:46,190
Only Xiaohu's father once ate humans.

569
00:34:46,190 --> 00:34:46,710
Mm-hmm.

570
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,570
right.

571
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:53,230
Hey, you! Talk properly.

572
00:34:53,230 --> 00:34:55,280
Well, my dad said

573
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,320
human flesh

574
00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:57,360
is sour—

575
00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:59,130
doesn't taste good at all.

576
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:00,480
It's just nothing special.

577
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,070
Right?

578
00:35:01,630 --> 00:35:03,230
Your father doesn't care
for eating humans.

579
00:35:03,230 --> 00:35:04,210
Of course not.

580
00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:05,590
My dad also said

581
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,630
they just

582
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,880
act fierce and scary

583
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,140
to intimidate humans.

584
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,730
Humans are terrifying.

585
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,800
Yes, that's right.

586
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,130
I remember my mom saying

587
00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:15,670
humans eat everything raw or cooked—

588
00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:17,190
anything can end up in their mouths.

589
00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:17,880
True.

590
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:20,480
Lots of demons have
ended up in human stomachs.

591
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,110
Yeah,

592
00:35:21,110 --> 00:35:22,710
and they eat us the most!

593
00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:24,230
Right, and they have
so many ways to cook us…

594
00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:25,710
Stir-fried, boiled…

595
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,840
Don't scare yourselves like that.

596
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,190
Actually, humans

597
00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:30,760
don't just eat demons.

598
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,290
-They eat lots of things.
-The Master's here.

599
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,760
Now,

600
00:35:35,070 --> 00:35:36,840
I have a question for you.

601
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:40,070
Who knows what

602
00:35:40,190 --> 00:35:42,960
the true form of a Bi Fang is?

603
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:48,360
Who...

604
00:35:49,070 --> 00:35:49,740
Xiao Yao,

605
00:35:50,190 --> 00:35:50,260
you answer.

606
00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:51,210
[King of Eight Plates]

607
00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:58,020
Still not ready?

608
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,150
Don't rush.

609
00:35:59,150 --> 00:36:01,840
Softshell turtle soup needs
to simmer even longer.

610
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,900
Softshell turtle?

611
00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:04,290
Where'd you get it?

612
00:36:04,590 --> 00:36:06,390
Our master is a turtle, isn't he?

613
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,910
Sir.

614
00:36:10,070 --> 00:36:10,920
Sir.

615
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,210
The Master is gone.

616
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:14,320
No,

617
00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:16,360
I just snipped a bit of his beard

618
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,800
while he was asleep.

619
00:36:19,030 --> 00:36:20,440
If there's a next time,

620
00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:23,170
I will banish you
from Moon-Gazing Terrace.

621
00:36:24,190 --> 00:36:26,590
Goodbye, Master.

622
00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:35,050
Dali, you're so delicious.

623
00:36:35,550 --> 00:36:36,750
Don't talk nonsense—

624
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,400
this is a flower pastry Xiao Yao made

625
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,510
from fallen petals.

626
00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:40,320
Is it tasty?

627
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,320
Mmm, it's delicious.

628
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,000
Delicious.

629
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:42,620
Tasty.

630
00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:46,760
A simple trick.

631
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,550
It smells nice, doesn't it?

632
00:36:47,550 --> 00:36:48,500
So sweet.

633
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,860
Here, have a taste.

634
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,520
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

635
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,000
I-I—

636
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,080
you have so many here…

637
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,330
today I-I'll...

638
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:58,610
I'll...

639
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,610
Little deer,

640
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,730
are you willing to offer
a small piece of your antler?

641
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,460
Alright.

642
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,360
You—

643
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:11,840
just tell me where the bird's nest is,
that's enough.

644
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,070
Can I use this instead?

645
00:37:13,070 --> 00:37:13,850
Sure.

646
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:15,540
Genuine wolf-hair brush.

647
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,190
Then I'll roll it.

648
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,050
Roll it! Roll it! Roll it!

649
00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:21,450
Roll it! Roll it! Roll it!

650
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,030
Deer antler,

651
00:37:26,030 --> 00:37:26,670
wolf-hair brush,

652
00:37:26,670 --> 00:37:27,800
lingzhi mushrooms—

653
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,410
my father will be overjoyed
when he finds out.

654
00:37:38,510 --> 00:37:39,480
Ginseng boy,

655
00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:41,760
we're rich!

656
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:50,480
Little one,

657
00:37:51,460 --> 00:37:53,860
are you playing here by yourself?

658
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,950
You're so adorable—

659
00:37:58,190 --> 00:38:00,000
let me tie a red string on you.

660
00:38:00,550 --> 00:38:01,400
Good boy.

661
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,400
Here we go.

662
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,400
So pretty.

663
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,290
There, all done.

664
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:22,760
Thank you, lady.

665
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,510
These red strings are for you—

666
00:38:24,510 --> 00:38:27,110
to give to your destined one.

667
00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:33,800
Isn't it said
that if you tie a red string on it,

668
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,150
it turns into ginseng?

669
00:38:38,740 --> 00:38:39,960
So polite, though.

670
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,020
Xiao Yao,

671
00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:47,000
I've prepared—

672
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,150
Sorry, wrong room.

673
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,130
This seems to be my room.

674
00:38:58,670 --> 00:38:59,320
I prepared

675
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:01,320
something for you.

676
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:16,030
This—

677
00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:18,030
a bright-red gauze canopy?

678
00:39:18,030 --> 00:39:20,070
Why does it look like part of a dowry?

679
00:39:24,110 --> 00:39:25,350
Don't all young girls

680
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,060
like things like this?

681
00:39:27,550 --> 00:39:29,030
Who's a "young girl"?

682
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:30,420
I'm not young!

683
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,320
I've lived for over a thousand years.

684
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,560
Compared to me,

685
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,660
aren't you a young girl in my eyes?

686
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,030
Fair point…

687
00:39:39,630 --> 00:39:40,440
You old demon.

688
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:42,940
Demon Lord,

689
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,770
the Eternal Demon Lord.

690
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:46,880
Here,

691
00:39:48,740 --> 00:39:50,670
I'll give you something in return—

692
00:39:51,070 --> 00:39:52,480
you're welcome.

693
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,090
Stop!

694
00:40:01,030 --> 00:40:01,560
Xiao Yao,

695
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,600
do you realize what you've done?

696
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:06,630
Why did that red string disappear?

697
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,480
That's not something you wear

698
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,880
or give away so casually.

699
00:40:10,190 --> 00:40:11,630
It's not an ordinary red string—

700
00:40:11,630 --> 00:40:14,830
it's the red matchmaking thread
of the red-thread demon.

701
00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:16,710
Then why was it on Ginseng boy?

702
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,310
I'll go find him to undo it.

703
00:40:18,310 --> 00:40:19,710
Stay right where you are!

704
00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:21,970
That's not "Ginseng boy"—

705
00:40:22,030 --> 00:40:23,920
it's the red-thread demon's
second generation disciple.

706
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,980
Alright, alright, the red-thread demon's
second generation disciple.

707
00:40:28,370 --> 00:40:29,770
Why are you following me?

708
00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:43,350
Now do you understand
why I'm following you?

709
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:48,960
Could it be that this red string

710
00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:50,540
won't let us separate?

711
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,760
It's more than just not separating.

712
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,710
The red matchmaking thread
of the red-thread demon

713
00:40:55,710 --> 00:40:57,910
is created for romance between demons.

714
00:40:58,630 --> 00:40:59,760
It has three stages.

715
00:41:00,590 --> 00:41:02,520
Only after all three are completed

716
00:41:02,590 --> 00:41:04,030
can it dissolve on its own.

717
00:41:04,030 --> 00:41:05,590
What are the three stages?

718
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:06,880
First stage:

719
00:41:07,710 --> 00:41:09,640
The two connected by the red thread

720
00:41:10,590 --> 00:41:12,340
cannot be more than ten feet apart.

721
00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:13,110
Ten feet?

722
00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:19,990
Second stage:

723
00:41:20,590 --> 00:41:23,200
They will share feelings and sensations.

724
00:41:24,070 --> 00:41:25,800
Feelings and sensations.

725
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,640
-What's the third stage?
-Don't worry—

726
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,770
we won't make it to the third stage.

727
00:41:31,110 --> 00:41:31,710
Why?

728
00:41:32,510 --> 00:41:34,150
You're not going to eat me, are you?

729
00:41:34,150 --> 00:41:35,100
My Lord,

730
00:41:35,230 --> 00:41:37,070
the cleansing ceremony
to welcome Demon Lord

731
00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:38,230
has been prepared.

732
00:41:38,230 --> 00:41:39,290
Prepare to depart.

733
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:40,800
Where to?

734
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,030
After you, my Lord.

735
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,090
My Lord,

736
00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:48,550
the cleansing ceremony
is no small matter.

737
00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:50,190
You cannot take Xiao Yao with you.

738
00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:50,710
Let go—

739
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,250
you, let go.

740
00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:58,960
I have made my decision.
Do not bring it up again.

741
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,490
Let's go.

742
00:41:59,590 --> 00:42:01,040
My Lord!

743
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:03,960
My Lord,

744
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,510
first you risked yourself
to save her from Hei Wu,

745
00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:09,760
then you sent her to Moon-Gazing Terrace
to study and cultivate.

746
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,630
You even prepared gauze canopies
and bedding for her—

747
00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:13,190
and now,

748
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,960
do you want her to serve you personally?

749
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,510
You are the Monarch of All Demons.

750
00:42:18,510 --> 00:42:19,440
Acting like this

751
00:42:19,710 --> 00:42:21,480
could undermine your authority.

752
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,680
You think I want this?

753
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,710
If it weren't for us…

754
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:24,510
You—be quiet.

755
00:42:27,590 --> 00:42:28,790
And you—be quiet too.

756
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,960
My Lord, the auspicious hour has arrived.

757
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,420
All unrelated personnel, please withdraw.

758
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,140
For today's ceremony,

759
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,800
Xiao Yao shall attend me.

760
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,520
You may instruct her.

761
00:43:33,550 --> 00:43:35,260
First: Fragrant herbs

762
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,340
to clear away impurities.

763
00:43:46,510 --> 00:43:47,880
Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao!

764
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,000
M-My lord!

765
00:44:18,670 --> 00:44:19,280
Continue.

766
00:44:21,110 --> 00:44:22,640
Second: Bathe in holy water

767
00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:23,880
to wash away calamity.

768
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:24,590
Water?

769
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,900
I can do this.

770
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:31,440
Good.

771
00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:34,800
This water needs—

772
00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:39,320
Next?

773
00:44:41,230 --> 00:44:41,760
Hmmm...

774
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,230
Keep going.

775
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,060
Third: Wield the willow branch
for fortune and longevity.

776
00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:57,440
Wield.

777
00:45:02,070 --> 00:45:03,070
Really?

778
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:03,800
Mm-hmm.

779
00:45:13,830 --> 00:45:14,960
Forgive me, my Lord!

780
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,520
Withdraw.

781
00:45:17,590 --> 00:45:18,070
My Lord.

782
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,250
I said withdraw!

783
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,960
No, I mean—weren't you bound to me—

784
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:21,490
To wield,

785
00:45:22,110 --> 00:45:23,190
not to strike.

786
00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:23,760
Right, then—

787
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:24,960
the c-cleansing ceremony is concluded.

788
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:25,440
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

789
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,960
Let's go! Move it! Hurry up!

790
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:27,820
Run, let's run!

791
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,000
I don't know how to do this!

792
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,030
You're forcing me into something
I've never done—

793
00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:35,400
I've never waited on anyone in my life.

794
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,400
Even though my family was poor
when I was little,

795
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,650
we never had to serve others like this.

796
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,030
All hail the return of the Demon Lord
to the realm of the living!

797
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,220
All hail the return of the Demon Lord
to the realm of the living!

798
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,030
All hail the return of the Demon Lord
to the realm of the living!

799
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,440
All hail the return of the Demon Lord
to the realm of the living!
