(Episode 4)

Lately, the grand demons have been restless.

The White Bone Nails are getting loose.

There has been no festive occasion within Danxia Realm lately.

I have no choice.

I had to get married.

But I never expected myself to marry Lady Li by accident.

It was supposed to be the sixth daughter

of the Liu family from the Yunquan Cave.

Not only did I send them 64 betrothal gifts,

but I also gave them some artifacts as compensation.

Her parents had already agreed to it.

For some reason, my bride-to-be couldn't come to terms with it.

She ran away before the wedding ceremony.

Was that why you abducted my wife?

That's not it.

Master, I've never seen my bride-to-be before.

It was dark that night.

Lady Li was standing by herself in the wilderness.

I couldn't see clearly.

I didn't mean to do that.

Why don't I apologize to Lady Li again?

Master?

If that's the case,

seems like this is another coincidence.

I beg your pardon?

Did you think that your accidental abduction

was a coincidence?

Master, it was purely an accident.

Please practice wise judgment!

Could all of these be purely coincidences?

Grandmaster?

Madam, Grandmaster has ordered me to take you to the Yuewu Courtyard.

Where is it?

Naturally, it's the courtyard of Canglei Hall.

He said that you could live there.

So, I don't need to return to Tianwu Peak again?

That's right. Grandmaster said that you were weak.

You'll be in danger if you live alone.

Therefore, he's making an exception and letting you stay here.

Where is he?

He's busy with official affairs.

He instructed me to lead the way.

Is he angry? Is that why he doesn't want to see me?

By the way, Fan Jiao Jiao has startled you with his recklessness.

Later, I'll tell him to deliver a bowl of soothing soup to you.

This way, you can sleep better at night.

No need for the trouble. I'm fine.

But that groom named Fan Jiao Jiao is quite careless, isn't he?

He actually got the wrong bride.

I'm sure Grandmaster is angry that I got married to someone else.

It's not Fan Jiao Jiao's fault.

He has to get married every year.

Anyone else would be confused as well.

He has to get married every year?

Don't tell me he abducted all of his previous brides.

Lady, don't worry.

Although Prison Burial houses many ferocious beasts,

it's not a lawless place.

Marriage is based on mutual willingness.

It never offends the established codes of ethics.

If so, I suppose Immortal Fan must be very charismatic.

He has plenty of wives after all.

Fan Jiao Jiao is one of the Three Kings who serve Grandmaster.

The Nailers, who he is in charge of,

serve to suppress demonic beasts.

Most of the demonic beasts are vicious and wild.

And, they're being kept and suppressed here.

Therefore, evil intentions have been accumulating here.

Immortal Fan is a Lord of Artifact as well.

The White Bone Nails he makes are made from Heaven's Air and Water's Soul.

They were meant to suppress the evil intentions of the demonic beasts.

But as time passes, the White Bone Nails will loosen.

That's why...

Is that why he has to get married?

Indeed.

The auspicious aura will dissolve the evil intentions.

Thus, a festive banquet became the Nailers' source of auspicious aura.

Once they hold it, their energy can be replenished without limit.

It's been over a century

since any disturbance at the Prison Burial.

This garden is called Tongyou Garden.

It winds through nine bends, where immortals dwell in jade pavilions.

It's the center area of Canglei Hall.

There are nine exits,

which are connected to nine corridors respectively.

To the east stands the exit of Canglei Hall.

To the west stands Prison Burial, which houses demonic beasts.

To the north stands Chongwu Hall, which he uses to hold discussions.

From left to right,

these are the lands under the rule of the Three Kings.

But of course, Lady, there's no need for you to know.

What should I know, then?

Naturally, it's your bedchamber and Grandmaster's bedchamber.

The direction we came from houses the Linyuan Pavilion.

It's where Grandmaster spends most of his time.

Your bedchamber is in the opposite direction.

It's right ahead.

By the way, Lady, your bedchamber is slightly off-center.

It's very near to Prison Burial.

Please do not go outside casually during nighttime.

You might encounter something unexpected.

Are you referring to demonic beasts?

You might encounter Fan Jiao Jiao's marriage ceremony.

Steward Cang, you said before

that the Three Kings serve Grandmaster.

I've only encountered Immortal Fan.

Who are the other two?

Are they here at Canglei Hall as well?

Our trip is short, yet the story is too long.

Lady, you'll know who they are once you see them.

Lady Qing Yue, we've arrived.

From now on, you'll live here.

If you need anything, you may find me.

Thank you, Steward Cang.

(I'm dying of thirst.)

(Why aren't there any cups in the house?)

Whose kid are you? Why are you in my house?

Can you tell me a story?

No.

It's late. You should go home.

Why don't I tell you a story?

Will you leave after that?

Go ahead.

Once upon a time, there was an obscure sect in the Mortal Realm.

Within the sect, there was an obscure girl.

But she was lucky. She got married to a powerful and influential husband.

But right after she got married,

she was thrown by her husband onto a remote mountain ridge.

He turned a blind eye to her.

In the end, this girl had to endure hardships and risk her life

before she could see her husband again.

But her husband gave her the cold shoulder.

He didn't care about her

even if someone else had tried to marry her.

He didn't even want to see her.

Shut up if you don't know how to tell stories.

That's not true.

But she still loves her husband a lot.

After that, an old man sent her to Yuewu Courtyard.

She found a kid when she opened her cabinet.

The kid wanted to tell her a story.

It was a story about counting human heads.

He was going to count the number of human heads in the house.

After that, the kid will devour her in one go.

One.

And two.

What's going on?

Help!

Lady, you must've been startled.

Ning Yan?

I'm glad that you're here.

Lady, don't be scared. It's just a lesser demon.

Lesser demon?

Are you saying that the kid is a demon?

What kind of demon is he?

He's known as the Invisible Kid. He's a demon who feasts on human heads.

Grandmaster locked him away in Canglei Hall before. He snuck out.

But he was captured again before he could feast on anyone.

Next time, if you see him, you can just send him flying.

There's no way I can defeat him.

You just need to cover your ears.

Is it that simple?

Didn't you say you couldn't leave Tianwu Peak

due to the Earth-binding Spell?

How did you come to Canglei Hall?

Immortal Cang Tu brought me here.

He also said that you didn't need to return to Tianwu Peak again.

You may live at Canglei Hall.

I'm here to watch over you.

It's getting late. Lady, you should rest early.

Lady.

- Lady? - Am I beautiful?

Why are you drawing your face?

I'm drawing my brows. I'm not drawing my face.

If so, why are your lips bleeding?

It isn't blood. It's the lip color I put on.

I'm born with a weak constitution and a pale complexion.

I'll only look pretty with reddish lips.

Do you want to give it a try?

No thanks.

Have you put on rouge before?

No, I haven't.

I've focused on my cultivation since young. I've never touched such things.

If so, you have to give it a try.

I promise you'll fall in love with them.

Lady, you're dolling yourself up today.

I suppose you intend to see Grandmaster.

That's right.

If so, you have to hurry up.

At this hour,

I suppose he just finished his morning meeting.

If you delay it any longer, you won't be able to see him.

You're right. I'll make a move first.

Such terrifying items actually exist in the world.

- Who's there? - Who's there?

Li Qing Yue.

The Grandmaster's wife?

The Grandmaster's wife?

Is Grandmaster inside?

Yes, he is.

Great.

Lady, please wait. Please allow me to notify him first.

Hold it right there.

You're too young. You're not reliable enough.

Lady, I shall notify him.

You?

You should look at yourself.

Look at all the wrinkles you have.

You'll startle the Grandmaster.

So what if I'm old? I didn't even insult you for being short yet.

I can't see you if I don't lower my head, you know?

So what? I'm exceptionally gifted.

I formed my Golden Core when I was eight.

I'm eternally young.

Unlike you! You only managed to form it when you were 80.

But my later cultivation made rapid progress.

Now, my power level is three levels higher than you, you know?

I'll notify him.

Is that so?

- Guys... - Old man!

Wait! This is a warning.

Call me that again if you dare.

Old man.

Bring it on!

Grandmaster,

the two gatekeepers are fighting.

It'll be embarrassing if other people see them.

Why don't we transfer them back to their original positions?

They should guard the entrance of Canglei Hall instead.

It's fine. It's more lively with them around.

But if they stay here,

Lady won't be able to come inside.

Great. I'll use this chance to see

how badly she wants to see me.

Guys, stop fighting.

I'll call off my visit, okay?

This is none of your business!

I'm here to look for Grandmaster.

What are you looking at?

So what if I'm staring at you?

You're still unsatisfied, aren't you?

I'll never yield to an old man like you!

Old man!

You dwarf!

Lady, you didn't get to see Grandmaster again, huh?

Are you hungry? Why don't you have some fruits?

I feel like Grandmaster is angry at me.

Feel like? He is angry at you.

I knew it.

It's impossible for ordinary men to do nothing

when they saw their wives marrying another man.

But he wouldn't even see me now.

What should I do for him to be appeased?

This...

I'm not good with relationships.

My ideas won't work.

This is my first marriage too.

I'm quite inexperienced.

Get out.

No, I won't.

Can you tell me a story?

Fine. I'll tell you a story.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was abandoned by her husband.

Ning Yan!

They're abusing a kid! Help!

Someone, help! They're abusing a kid!

- The handwriting is excellent. - Indeed.

You see, Master loves this.

Lady Li has quite a sense of romance.

Grandmaster's wife is truly devoted to him.

- Yeah. - I'm sure he likes it.

Once upon a time, a kid was locked away in a courtyard.

He ate fruits every day.

After that, the kid was going to tell his story.

He was going to count the number of fruits on the table.

After that, he would devour them in one go.

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

What's wrong? Do you want to listen to my stories?

Let me tell you a story instead.

Young Master Li fell madly in love with the Young Lady Wei.

Day and night, she occupied his thoughts. He was unable to sleep.

He composed several love poems and entrusted them to someone to deliver.

Young Lady Wei was deeply touched by the verses.

Thus, she...

What's the matter with you?

Grandmaster?

Stop reading such nonsensical books.

Grandmaster!

Grandmaster!

Grandmaster?

Lady, your books did work. Grandmaster actually came to find you.

Of course.

He even burned down my books because of how shy he was.

What should we do, then?

Lady, what are you going to do without them?

It's fine.

I've already memorized their content.

Next, I just need to proceed according to what the books teach me.

Who told you to sneak in through my window?

I'm here to meet my lover in secret.

I thought you were trying to scare me to death

since you couldn't defeat me in a fight.

Grandmaster, I won't put on makeup next time if you don't like it.

Are you still angry at me?

- I'm not. - You don't need to lie to me.

Let me put myself in your shoes.

If you marry other women,

I would be angry at you too.

Is that why you came to find me?

Come on, Grandmaster. Stop being angry at me, okay?

Didn't I tell you to stop reading those nonsensical books?

According to them, this is how women should apologize.

You...

There's no need to apologize.

I'm not angry at you.

According to the books, arguments are full of mixed signals. No means yes.

Mention the books again if you dare.

Fine. I'll stop mentioning them.

Speak. What else do you need?

Actually, I want you to teach me some arcane arts.

You want me to teach you?

Why?

Because I don't want to cause you any trouble again.

You're already busy with official affairs.

I don't want to rely on you to rescue me every time something goes wrong.

As husband and wife, we should be united.

We shouldn't drag each other down.

Is that the only reason you came here?

I heard that you share your lifespan with the Sun and the Moon.

My own cultivation remains weak.

I'm afraid I'll fall sick and die in the future.

If I refine my cultivation,

maybe I can extend my lifespan and spend more time with you.

Come here tomorrow. I'll teach you what you need to learn.

Although you've promised to teach me,

I'm worried that you're holding a grudge against me due to the marriage.

Why don't...

Why don't you give me a kiss?

If so, I'll believe that you're not angry.

Just look at him. He's shy.

Burn away evil, and light one's life.

Burn!

I knew your cultivation was weak.

I didn't know that it was that weak.

Burn away evil, and light one's life. Burn!

Grandmaster, I did it!

Grandmaster, look!

Grandmaster!

Look!

It's gone.

It's gone?

This is the Li Flame.

Grandmaster, you're amazing.

Burn!

- Is that fire? - Ning Yan, look!

Ning Yan, I've succeeded!

No, Lady!

I'm afraid of fire!

Just take a look!

No, Lady!

Invisible Kid!

Invisible Kid?

What's wrong? Do you want to hear a story?

No!

No, I won't!

No!

I witnessed it for myself today.

The Pyrokinesis Technique Lady had learned

wasn't the Li Pyrokinesis Technique,

which was Four Spirits Grandmistress's expertise.

I once stripped her of that very skill before.

Today, she has witnessed it in person.

Even so, she remained calm.

Lady, have some fruits.

We ate the same fruit for the entire month. Aren't you sick of it?

Not at all.

It's delicious. I've been eating it for several centuries.

Lady, look. It's his favorite fruit too.

Let me count how many fruits there are on the table.

Don’t you guys have something like a kitchen in this place?

No one in Canglei Hall consumes food. No one cooks either.

Why would there be a kitchen here?

Not just anyone is cut out to be a celestial being.

Lady, Grandmaster is nice to you.

I'm sure he'll agree to your request if you request a kitchen.

- Really? - I'm sure of it.

No.

But why?

For no reason.

Grandmaster, can you provide me with a kitchen

if I defeat you at Go?

- With the likes of you? - Yeah.

Sure.

Should I place my chess piece here?

Can't you see that I'm already surrounding you?

You're right.

I'll change to somewhere else, then.

What about here?

What do you think?

I don't think that'll work.

Let me think about it again.

Do you even know how to play this game?

Of course.

I've never lost against Martial Senior Zhang Suan in Jingyun Sect before.

Why do I keep losing against you?

Did you actually compare me to a mere mortal?

Of course not.

Grandmaster, you're definitely the best.

Grandmaster,

in the Mortal Realm, we say, "You are what you eat."

I think I'm bad at this

due to a lack of meat nutrition.

If I could get my hands on pecans,

fish, and roasted bird's nest,

I might just improve.

Eat them, then.

It's easy to find pecans.

But you see, for fish and bird's nest,

even if I have these ingredients, I have to cook them first.

You do have a point.

If there's a kitchen in the courtyard

that contains some daily necessities,

I can cook often.

By then, I can deliver my cooking to you too.

Suit yourself.

Grandmaster, is that a yes?

You lost.

I lost?

What about my kitchen, then?

Grandmaster,

Miss Ling Er has returned.

That's all for today.

You may return first.

Who is that Miss Ling Er

for Grandmaster to receive her personally?

Grandmaster, I've accomplished my mission.

I've repaired all the cracks on the Sunseeker.

I placed it in a land of extreme Yang.

If it remains nourished by Yang energy for 81 days,

it will return to its former glory and unleash its sacred power again.

Excellent work.

Now that Miss Ling Er has returned from her trip to the Mortal Realm,

she has gotten more composed.

Of course. She's my daughter, you know?

Miss Ling Er, I suffered a lot while you were away.

Grandmaster complained about the way I served him.

I couldn't keep your father in check either.

Now that you're finally back,

you should remain here longer.

It depends on Grandmaster's arrangements.

If so, you may remain in Canglei Hall for a few more days.

There's no need to leave.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Grandmaster.

Grandmaster, are you there?

Lady, you're here.

You!

Let me introduce her.

This is Grandmaster's wife, whom he married not long ago.

She's Li Qing Yue of Jingyun Sect.

This is Immortal Fan Jiao Jiao, one of the Three Kings.

You should be familiar with him.

This is his daughter.

You may call her Ling Er.

She has served Grandmaster for almost 200 years.

I prepared some tea for Grandmaster as I was afraid he might be thirsty.

I won't enter the hall if you guys have something important to discuss.

Steward Cang, please deliver the tea to him.

Let her in.

Everything's fine.

You may come up here.

Weren't you looking for me?

Why are you keeping quiet?

I came here to deliver tea to you.

Enjoy.

This teapot is from Linyuan Pavilion, right?

Yes.

Why is it cold?

You're right. It's chilled tea.

Why exactly are you here?

I just want to see the lady whom you have to receive personally.

I didn't receive her.

She only came back to report her findings to me.

That's a minor deal. Grandmaster, you don't need to explain yourself to me.

- I didn't. - I understand.

Grandmaster, please wait here.

I'll get you some hot tea.

Was that the surprise you had prepared for me?

Don't be impatient. There's more.

Come here.

Ling Er, you're a girl, yet you mess with weapons all day long.

It's inappropriate for girls to do such a thing.

You have to learn how to be gentle and virtuous.

Look.

Later, you should get changed.

Comb your hair and put on more jeweled hairpins.

I'm one of the Three Kings.

I'm wealthy.

There's no way I can spend all of my money.

You should help me out with that.

Father, if you're that wealthy,

why don't you buy more outfits and jewelry for Grandmaster's wife?

This way, she can speak up for you

in front of Grandmaster.

You found out, huh?

Why didn't you tell me that Grandmaster got himself a wife?

It was a sudden event.

I only found out after the ceremony as well.

Besides, the Prison Burial has been strangely unstable as of late.

I forgot to tell you as I was too busy tending to it.

I forgot about it.

Did you truly forget about it?

Or were you hiding it from me?

It's a done deal. Knowing won't change anything.

Ling Er.

Ling Er?

I know we merely had a brief encounter in front of the hall.

But I know why Grandmaster married her

based on her appearance alone.

She's lucky that she resembles her this much.

I accept my defeat.

Go.

Get rid of her.
