Old Fox!

00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:47,129
Old Fox, are you alright?

4
00:01:47,129 --> 00:01:47,930
Old Fox!

00:02:40,979 --> 00:02:42,669
Feng Mochen.

00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,759
Old Fox.

7
00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:46,270
Old Fox, look, the cage is gone.

8
00:02:46,379 --> 00:02:47,180
Old Fox!

12
00:04:47,459 --> 00:04:48,879
That really scared me.

13
00:04:49,259 --> 00:04:51,389
I was truly worried that you might die.

14
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,839
I'm the Old Fox.

15
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:00,899
How could I have

16
00:05:01,019 --> 00:05:02,439
died so easily?

17
00:05:08,339 --> 00:05:09,339
That makes sense.

18
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:12,259
The good never live long,

19
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:13,899
but the bad always linger on.

20
00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:15,899
Evil creatures of your kind

21
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:18,680
definitely won't die easily.

22
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,100
That's not true.

23
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:26,939
Sometimes good people live long lives.

24
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:32,879
You're right.

25
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:35,279
I'm sure my father...

26
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:37,569
will live a long life.

27
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,658
However,

28
00:05:44,089 --> 00:05:45,569
Qiaoru is gone now.

29
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,879
There's no lead at all,

30
00:05:48,389 --> 00:05:50,189
except for that mysterious man.

31
00:05:53,579 --> 00:05:55,180
Previously, Qiaoru said...

32
00:05:56,158 --> 00:05:57,019
your dad

33
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:00,180
had entered a horrifying place.

34
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,420
Right.

35
00:06:02,259 --> 00:06:03,379
That place

36
00:06:03,819 --> 00:06:07,220
probably has a link
with that man of mystery.

37
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,519
Otherwise,

38
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,230
Qiaoru wouldn't have been so nervous.

39
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:14,660
I'm just wondering...

40
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,839
what place could possibly frighten Qiaoru,

41
00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:19,680
since she even had the guts

42
00:06:19,899 --> 00:06:21,360
to break in Fucang Palace.

43
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,569
I've thought of a place.

44
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:28,649
Even the Emperor...

45
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,399
doesn't dare to go there.

46
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,120
God forbid

47
00:06:33,550 --> 00:06:34,709
I run into the ghost!

48
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,379
Good heavens!

49
00:06:54,589 --> 00:06:55,790
May God bless me.

50
00:06:55,810 --> 00:06:57,408
Keep that ghost away from me.

51
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,790
Oh my!

52
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,839
Who's there?

53
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:40,540
My dad is the King of Hell,

54
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:41,490
I'm telling you!

55
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,029
Help me...

56
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:08,600
Help me!

57
00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:13,839
Please help me!

58
00:08:17,779 --> 00:08:19,399
Oh my god!

{\an8}[Ningshuang Palace]

60
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,060
Ningshuang Palace

61
00:08:21,329 --> 00:08:22,389
is haunted?

62
00:08:22,449 --> 00:08:24,509
It's just a rumor in the royal palace.

63
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:28,699
Could it be possible

64
00:08:28,699 --> 00:08:30,829
that the man of mystery who repeatedly

65
00:08:32,158 --> 00:08:34,690
got in our way showed up
in Ningshuang Palace,

66
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:39,139
and that Princess Ningshuang
tore out pages from Ganquan Register?

67
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:41,899
Suppose

68
00:08:42,788 --> 00:08:44,230
Qiaoru was crushed

69
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:46,100
for seeing my dad get in

70
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,419
Ningshuang Palace,

71
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,620
then the key to solving the puzzle

72
00:08:51,289 --> 00:08:53,220
actually lies in that every place.

73
00:08:56,649 --> 00:08:59,049
You know what Princess Ningshuang is like.

74
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:02,220
Your sudden appearance

75
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,029
will definitely alert her.

76
00:09:11,809 --> 00:09:12,649
If

77
00:09:13,259 --> 00:09:15,500
I get a job in Ningshuang Palace,

78
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:17,620
won't I have a shot at an investigation?

79
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:19,350
Princess Ningshuang is moody,

80
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:20,600
unpredictable,

81
00:09:20,629 --> 00:09:21,629
and very shrewd.

82
00:09:22,139 --> 00:09:23,440
The staff in Ningshuang Palace

83
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,570
have all worked for her for many years.

84
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,919
She hardly recruits anyone new.

85
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,950
Who are you?

86
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:40,929
You are an amazing

87
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,279
nine-tailed fox,

88
00:09:42,779 --> 00:09:45,340
a revered lord in the royal palace.

89
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:46,559
Tell me.

90
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,960
What in this world
could possibly be difficult for you?

91
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,720
"Omnipotent"

92
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,529
is the perfect description for you.

Mochen.

94
00:10:04,649 --> 00:10:05,820
Mochen.

95
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:19,519
I know your weakness.

96
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:23,899
How did you figure it out?

97
00:10:24,419 --> 00:10:27,100
We once swapped souls.

98
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:29,360
When mine dwelled in your body,

99
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,620
I blacked out at the sight of a cage.

100
00:10:32,059 --> 00:10:33,940
You did the same just a moment ago.

101
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:39,269
Are you threatening me?

102
00:10:41,929 --> 00:10:43,059
It's my only option.

103
00:10:43,419 --> 00:10:45,100
I have to act as a villain for once

104
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,629
in order to find my dad.

105
00:10:51,029 --> 00:10:52,360
I'm going to get

106
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:53,440
a cage.

107
00:10:54,409 --> 00:10:54,950
Don't!

108
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:11,379
If you dare threaten me again,

109
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:12,389
I'll kill you.

110
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,860
Master.

111
00:11:28,830 --> 00:11:32,509
I've settled Xiaofu in.

112
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,019
Master,

113
00:11:55,309 --> 00:11:56,240
what's with her?

114
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,179
Qiaoru?

115
00:12:09,029 --> 00:12:10,230
You can still see her?

116
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Yes.

117
00:12:15,179 --> 00:12:16,899
Our souls have switched back.

118
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:18,879
Why am I still able to see her?

119
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:20,399
That being the case,

120
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,529
since her soul and yours once swapped,

121
00:12:22,779 --> 00:12:23,710
it's very likely

122
00:12:24,019 --> 00:12:25,139
that she has developed

123
00:12:25,139 --> 00:12:27,139
a keen sense of perception from you.

124
00:12:31,289 --> 00:12:34,090
Will the memories of her past life
come back to her?

125
00:12:43,789 --> 00:12:45,259
What's the matter with me?

126
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,720
How come the same scene
is flashing through my mind again?

127
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:55,879
Seriously,

128
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:58,299
I must find out why.

129
00:13:25,379 --> 00:13:26,740
What are you doing?

130
00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:30,129
Do me a favor.

131
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,299
All I need is a kiss.

132
00:13:48,019 --> 00:13:49,429
Why isn't it working?

133
00:13:50,210 --> 00:13:52,139
Let me try a different spot.

134
00:13:57,649 --> 00:13:58,889
What exactly are you

135
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,970
doing?

136
00:14:02,019 --> 00:14:03,600
Don't interrupt me.

137
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:15,570
When will you stop kissing me?

138
00:14:17,019 --> 00:14:18,899
Why is your face so red?

139
00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:21,549
I need to use the restroom.

140
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:25,570
Did I kiss him the wrong way?

141
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:28,139
Come back soon!

Bai Yu!

145
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:42,120
I've searched the entire palace,

146
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,360
but still can't find Xiangjiu.

147
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:43,860
Why...

148
00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:51,409
Why did your ears turn red

149
00:14:51,409 --> 00:14:52,330
when you saw me?

150
00:14:52,929 --> 00:14:53,730
They didn't.

151
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:55,529
Wily Fox!

152
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:57,820
Is Xiangjiu hidden by you?

153
00:14:59,370 --> 00:15:01,570
You'll know if you just go in and search.

154
00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:12,480
The fact that you told me to go in

155
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,720
for a search
means Xiangjiu is not in there.

156
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Where on earth is Xiangjiu?

157
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,039
Fucang Palace.

158
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:18,399
Do I look like a fool to you?

159
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:19,659
She's in Fucang Palace.

160
00:15:19,659 --> 00:15:20,879
I demand the truth.

161
00:15:21,179 --> 00:15:22,779
She's in Ningshuang Palace.

162
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,970
Sounds about right!

163
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:25,299
I've searched every place

164
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:26,830
except Ningshuang Palace.

165
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:30,929
You should have told the truth earlier.

166
00:15:31,289 --> 00:15:32,490
I'll get back at you

167
00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:34,019
after I find Xiangjiu.

168
00:16:27,889 --> 00:16:29,129
Honey!

169
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:44,429

Who's skulking around at my place
in the middle of the night?

How audacious of you,

00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,818
Attendant Bai,

183
00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:29,490
for intruding into Ningshuang Palace.

184
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:37,339
I will be a loyal servant

My allegiance

194
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:04,400
also lies with the princess.

195
00:18:05,069 --> 00:18:06,799
I must treat Her Highness well.

196
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:09,049
I wish Her Highness a long life,

197
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:10,750
good fortune, success,

198
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,730
abundant joy in her family life,

199
00:18:12,730 --> 00:18:14,029
eternal youth,

200
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:17,630
and great happiness every day.

201
00:18:49,859 --> 00:18:51,019
Where am I?

202
00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:54,380
Your Highness?

203
00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:57,420
Oh no.

204
00:18:58,099 --> 00:18:59,460
I'm a sleepwalker.

205
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,589
I must've come here by mistake

206
00:19:00,589 --> 00:19:02,390
when I was traveling to a temple.

207
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:03,339
Well...

208
00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:05,740
Be careful when you sleepwalk next time.

209
00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:06,740
Yes, sure.

210
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:12,420
I...

211
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:14,119
I'm heading back to my bedroom.

212
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,980
I'm heading back to the restroom.

213
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:21,900
-Bye!
-Bye!

214
00:19:59,180 --> 00:20:00,910
Why is my heart beating so fast?

215
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:04,160
It must because I've been frightened.

216
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,359
That was truly scary.

217
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,220
Your Highness,

218
00:20:29,740 --> 00:20:30,869
what's on your mind?

219
00:20:31,299 --> 00:20:32,140
Nothing.

220
00:20:32,779 --> 00:20:34,579
I just want to shoot some arrows.

221
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:42,089
Shall we go visit the Old Madam
in a few days?

222
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,329
No. She always gives me the cold shoulder.

223
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:47,359
Oh, you.

224
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,119
I spoke with the Old Madam
several days ago.

225
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,599
From what she said, I guess she'll agree

226
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:54,059
to meet with you this time.

227
00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:54,960
Madam Chen,

228
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:55,920
forget it.

229
00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:57,430
I've grown up already,

230
00:20:57,460 --> 00:20:59,180
yet she has never seen me once.

231
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:00,630
I expect nothing

232
00:21:00,950 --> 00:21:01,940
from her.

233
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,720
No matter what,

234
00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:05,539
she's your birth mother.

235
00:21:06,650 --> 00:21:07,809
Speaking of which,

236
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,619
I consider no one but you as my mother.

237
00:21:09,619 --> 00:21:11,940
You are the one who raised me.

238
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:13,740
I dare not say that.

239
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:14,700
I'm just

240
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:17,240
a humble servant to the Old Madam.

241
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:19,799
Years ago, she entrusted Your Highness

242
00:21:19,940 --> 00:21:22,599
to my care simply out of trust.

243
00:21:22,619 --> 00:21:24,470
How would I dare to overstep
my boundaries?

244
00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:25,599
Enough, Madam Chen.

245
00:21:25,779 --> 00:21:26,940
Drop the subject.

246
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,990
Look at you, so irritated

247
00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:29,920
whenever this topic is brought up.

248
00:21:47,490 --> 00:21:48,289
Madam Chen!

249
00:21:48,329 --> 00:21:49,119
Are you alright?

250
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,039
Are you hurt?

251
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:51,849
You must've got quite a fright,
Madam Chen.

252
00:21:51,849 --> 00:21:52,480
I'm fine.

253
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,779
-Thank God you were around, clever girl.
-Did you all go blind?

254
00:21:55,779 --> 00:21:56,900
Alright.

255
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,319
Don't worry, Your Highness.

256
00:21:58,319 --> 00:21:59,380
I'm barely hurt.

257
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:04,190
Greetings, Your Highness.

258
00:22:04,579 --> 00:22:05,700
Little maid,

259
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,180
you're quite smart.

260
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,319
Thanks for the compliment, Your Highness.

261
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:12,420
Are you...

262
00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:13,200
from

263
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,930
the Imperial Servants Bureau?

264
00:22:15,779 --> 00:22:16,579
Yes.

265
00:22:16,779 --> 00:22:18,859
I work there.

266
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:21,660
Your Highness,

267
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:23,519
look how bright she is.

268
00:22:23,619 --> 00:22:25,180
She's way better
than the maids at our place.

269
00:22:25,180 --> 00:22:26,059
How about

270
00:22:26,089 --> 00:22:28,349
transferring her to Ningshuang Palace?

271
00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:34,750
As a lowly servant,

272
00:22:34,819 --> 00:22:37,549
I dare not dream of working
in Ningshuang Palace.

273
00:22:39,309 --> 00:22:41,779
Glad that you're aware
of your humble status.

274
00:22:41,779 --> 00:22:42,940
Ningshuang Palace

275
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:45,619
won't just take anyone in.

276
00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:53,940
Your Highness,

277
00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:55,559
Madam Chen.

278
00:22:56,339 --> 00:22:59,119
Madam Chen,
you're credited for raising Her Highness.

279
00:22:59,119 --> 00:22:59,859
Today,

280
00:22:59,859 --> 00:23:02,640
I was honored with a chance
to help you out of danger.

281
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,519
I deem it as the greatest blessing

282
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:06,380
and the crowning glory of my life.

283
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,269
How dare I

284
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,380
ask Her Highness for rewards?

285
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:18,119
I will take my leave now.

286
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:23,900
What should I do?

287
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,920
Madam Chen,

288
00:23:32,059 --> 00:23:34,599
one should be careful
around exercise equipment.

289
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:37,839
After being soaked in palm oil,
this hemp rope

290
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,880
will not rot,

291
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,299
and will become sturdier and more durable.

292
00:23:41,819 --> 00:23:44,220
You're more knowledgeable than I thought.

293
00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:47,980
I've learned something about everything

294
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:50,200
just from doing various chores.

295
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:51,660
Your Highness,

296
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,660
she's indeed a very clever girl.

297
00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:54,470
Why not

298
00:23:54,490 --> 00:23:56,460
transfer her to Ningshuang Palace?

299
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:57,819
What do you say?

300
00:24:07,019 --> 00:24:08,779
Now that you appreciate her,

301
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:12,170
let's tell the Imperial Servants Bureau
we'll take her.

302
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,490
{\an8}[I Am the Master of My Own Fate]

303
00:24:41,579 --> 00:24:42,380
Master,

304
00:24:43,089 --> 00:24:45,349
here comes another tribulation for you.

305
00:24:45,349 --> 00:24:46,349
You may leave now.

306
00:24:49,059 --> 00:24:51,119
This could be your last tribulation.

307
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:53,750
Please let me stay with you.

308
00:24:54,609 --> 00:24:55,410
I'll be fine.

309
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:57,880
Off you go.

310
00:24:59,099 --> 00:24:59,900
Got it.

311
00:25:30,339 --> 00:25:31,099
I started

312
00:25:31,099 --> 00:25:33,220
serving Princess Ningshuang
when I was little.

313
00:25:33,220 --> 00:25:34,680
Just call me Ms. Xiang.

314
00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:35,569
Yes, Ms. Xiang.

315
00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:37,900
Caution is a must when you work

316
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,480
in Ningshuang Palace.

317
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:41,460
Her Highness has zero tolerance

318
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:43,299
for even the slightest mistake.

319
00:25:43,769 --> 00:25:44,670
A few days ago,

320
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,240
a maid accidentally farted

321
00:25:46,259 --> 00:25:47,920
when she served Her Highness,

322
00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:50,049
and was thus punished with 50 lashes.

323
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:52,109
She still can't stand on her feet now.

324
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:54,200
Did she deserve that harsh punishment

325
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:54,960
for such a triviality?

326
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Of course she did!

327
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:57,440
You'd better be careful.

328
00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:04,160
W-What's with you, Ms. Xiang?

329
00:26:09,299 --> 00:26:09,980
Well...

330
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:11,559
It's going to rain.

331
00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:14,690
Ask Madam Chen to stop doing exercise

332
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,960
and go indoors.

333
00:26:16,539 --> 00:26:17,490
If she gets caught in the rain,

334
00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:19,349
the princess will go livid again.

335
00:26:19,650 --> 00:26:20,410
Ms. Xiang,

336
00:26:20,730 --> 00:26:23,990
Madam Chen and the princess
are really close, aren't they?

337
00:26:24,069 --> 00:26:25,200
Princess Ningshuang

338
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,599
was raised by Madam Chen,

339
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:29,230
so naturally
they've developed a strong bond.

340
00:26:36,849 --> 00:26:38,109
Ask me more questions.

341
00:26:44,549 --> 00:26:45,349
Well...

342
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,440
I'm just baffled.

343
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:49,470
The Old Madam

344
00:26:49,579 --> 00:26:51,460
is alive and well.

345
00:26:51,869 --> 00:26:52,640
Why doesn't she

346
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,119
take care of the princess?

347
00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:04,160
This is what I heard:

348
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,349
The Old Madam nearly died
when she gave birth

349
00:27:08,380 --> 00:27:10,140
to Princess Ningshuang,

350
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:13,029
which triggered her hatred for the latter.

351
00:27:13,339 --> 00:27:15,500
So, she made Madam Chen,
a senior maid of hers,

352
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,029
raise the princess for her.

353
00:27:17,619 --> 00:27:19,279
As Princess Ningshuang grew older,

354
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:21,130
Her Highness would often
go to Kunning Palace to pay respects,

355
00:27:21,130 --> 00:27:22,119
yet the Old Madam always refused

356
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:22,910
to meet with Her Highness.

357
00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:23,390
Why?

358
00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:24,349
How would I know?

359
00:27:25,309 --> 00:27:26,309
So over time,

360
00:27:26,339 --> 00:27:27,819
she naturally grew close to Madam Chen

361
00:27:27,819 --> 00:27:29,660
and resentful to the Old Madam.

362
00:27:32,940 --> 00:27:34,809
There's one more reminder for you.

363
00:27:34,809 --> 00:27:37,509
Try not to leave your room at night.

364
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,170
Ningshuang Palace is actually...

365
00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:47,559
haunted.

366
00:28:26,589 --> 00:28:28,509
Ordinary beings

367
00:28:28,539 --> 00:28:30,829
should stick to their own paths.

368
00:28:31,049 --> 00:28:33,109
To obtain immortality and break free

369
00:28:33,220 --> 00:28:34,680
from the cycle of samsara,

370
00:28:35,089 --> 00:28:39,009
one has to undergo rough tribulations.

371
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,000
How bold of you, demon,

372
00:28:46,019 --> 00:28:48,150
for dreaming of becoming an immortal!

373
00:29:02,150 --> 00:29:03,619
This is

374
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:06,750
the price you must pay for that!

375
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,250
I don't believe

376
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,720
you'll survive this time.

377
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,019
This is so much fun!

378
00:29:22,019 --> 00:29:23,680
Make it more intense!

379
00:29:37,099 --> 00:29:39,980
Tribulations occur at long intervals,
but the wait

380
00:29:40,099 --> 00:29:42,269
between each one is halved consecutively.

381
00:29:42,269 --> 00:29:43,799
First, the gap is 1,000 years,

382
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:45,440
followed by 500,

383
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,759
and then 250,

384
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:50,339
and so on.

385
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Only

386
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,269
when you meet

387
00:29:54,299 --> 00:29:57,200
the destined ferryman
who can guide you to immortality

388
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,960
will you be liberated

389
00:29:58,990 --> 00:30:00,549
from the mortal world

390
00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:03,849
and become a celestial being.

391
00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:30,400
However,

392
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,339
many cultivators

393
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,150
would quit

394
00:30:35,299 --> 00:30:38,099
when they found themselves unable to bear

395
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:40,480
the pain of the first tribulation.

396
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,759
Their bodies and spirits

397
00:30:43,089 --> 00:30:45,490
would then perish in despair.

398
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,079
Little White Fox,

399
00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:51,119
upon hearing my words,

400
00:30:51,779 --> 00:30:52,460
do you...

401
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,019
still want to go for cultivation?

402
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,359
Very well.

403
00:31:04,819 --> 00:31:07,500
Then can you tell me

404
00:31:07,579 --> 00:31:09,359
why you insist on

405
00:31:09,619 --> 00:31:11,410
cultivating?

406
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,400
Never did I expect you,

407
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,460
a little white fox,

408
00:31:31,460 --> 00:31:33,240
to have grown affection for a girl.

409
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,769
I get it now.

410
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:39,160
You wish to take human form.

411
00:31:40,730 --> 00:31:43,049
Though you're exceptionally gifted,

412
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:47,619
it'll still cost you 500 years at least.

413
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,029
Meanwhile,

414
00:31:49,180 --> 00:31:53,519
it's unclear when or where
the girl might appear and meet you again.

415
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,230
For that,
you'll have to go through tribulations.

416
00:31:57,599 --> 00:31:58,799
Is it really worth it?

417
00:32:01,269 --> 00:32:02,069
Master,

418
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:04,119
let me help you go upstairs.

419
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,059
I'm sorry, Master.

420
00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:07,700
I forgot

421
00:32:07,730 --> 00:32:10,529
you couldn't be touched
since you're injured now.

422
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:20,119
Master,

423
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:23,880
the gaps between your tribulations
are getting shorter.

424
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,140
Another one will occur in the next month.

425
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,539
You've already found the ferryman.

426
00:32:28,539 --> 00:32:29,799
Why not let her help you

427
00:32:30,619 --> 00:32:33,420
obtain immortality
during the next tribulation?

428
00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:44,589
Old Fox!

429
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:48,740
Old Fox!

430
00:32:57,299 --> 00:32:58,579
Why are you lying here?

431
00:33:01,069 --> 00:33:02,279
That kick of mine couldn't have

432
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:04,410
caused this much harm to you, could it?

433
00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:14,059
Are you sick?

434
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:15,710
No.

435
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:20,579
It feels normal.

436
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:37,849
Are you running a fever?

437
00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:39,269
No.

438
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,099
But your face has turned red.

439
00:33:41,309 --> 00:33:42,240
That's not true.

440
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:47,059
Why are you all alone?

441
00:33:47,099 --> 00:33:48,059
Where's Mao Jin?

442
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:51,319
He's out fetching medicine.

443
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:52,640
So you're really sick?

444
00:33:53,250 --> 00:33:54,900
I...

445
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,200
I'm not. It's...

446
00:33:56,670 --> 00:33:58,000
It's Mao Jin who's sick.

447
00:33:58,420 --> 00:33:59,680
What kind of sickness?

448
00:33:59,799 --> 00:34:01,319
He...

449
00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:02,660
He...

450
00:34:02,690 --> 00:34:04,049
He has...

451
00:34:05,329 --> 00:34:06,769
Rabies, right?

452
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,619
I should've thought of that!

453
00:34:10,789 --> 00:34:12,320
This is just as I suspected.

454
00:34:12,769 --> 00:34:13,670
That silly dog

455
00:34:13,739 --> 00:34:14,679
always barks at me

456
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,199
for no reason.

457
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,809
It turns out he has rabies.

458
00:34:24,099 --> 00:34:24,969
No, that's not it.

459
00:34:24,969 --> 00:34:26,349
He doesn't have rabies.

460
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:30,099
Then what does he want medicine for?

461
00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:32,280
Are you the one who's sick?

462
00:34:35,789 --> 00:34:37,190
Mao Jin does have rabies.

463
00:34:38,989 --> 00:34:40,590
But you just said he didn't.

464
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,659
Because I didn't want you
to worry about him.

465
00:34:44,019 --> 00:34:45,360
Why would I worry about him?

466
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,619
I'm worried about you!

467
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:48,679
You always let him stick around.

468
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:51,320
What if he bites you one day?

469
00:34:51,989 --> 00:34:52,949
He won't.

470
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:54,119
He...

471
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,389
has been on medication.

472
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,019
The symptoms are well controlled.

473
00:34:58,019 --> 00:34:58,739
Nothing will happen.

474
00:34:58,739 --> 00:34:59,500
Don't worry.

475
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:04,940
Still, don't let your guard down.

476
00:35:05,510 --> 00:35:06,309
How about

477
00:35:08,949 --> 00:35:10,829
putting him on a leash?

478
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:14,000
Well then...

479
00:35:14,389 --> 00:35:15,989
Would you get me a sturdy one?

480
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:21,800
Sir,

481
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:23,199
please be quick.

482
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,099
Lord Feng is waiting for the medicine.

483
00:35:25,099 --> 00:35:26,429
You think it's too slow?

484
00:35:26,659 --> 00:35:28,619
Then do it yourself.

485
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:31,940
Preparing medicine isn't child's play.

486
00:35:32,579 --> 00:35:34,239
It's not to be taken lightly.

487
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,869
But you...

488
00:35:35,909 --> 00:35:36,900
Attendant Mao.

489
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:41,960
Sir,

490
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:43,610
we're here to get medicine.

491
00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:45,500
You're here for medicine too?

492
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:46,099
Yes.

493
00:35:46,099 --> 00:35:47,489
Lady Zhao has caught a cold.

494
00:35:47,489 --> 00:35:49,289
We're getting medicine for her.

495
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:52,869
What if Le Ning contracts it?

496
00:35:56,380 --> 00:35:57,179
Dear sir.

497
00:35:59,329 --> 00:36:00,309
Could you please

498
00:36:00,329 --> 00:36:02,329
give me something to ward off a cold?

499
00:36:03,179 --> 00:36:03,980
Please hurry.

500
00:36:04,619 --> 00:36:05,800
Stop stressing me.

501
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:09,579
Don't you see I'm preparing medicine
for Lord Feng?

502
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,659
Lord Feng's life is not in danger.

503
00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:13,039
Why the rush,

504
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,380
dear sir?

505
00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:17,250
Everyone in Ningshuang Palace

506
00:36:17,269 --> 00:36:18,969
knows it's haunted.

507
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,860
Do you really think

508
00:36:21,699 --> 00:36:23,559
your father was taken by that man?

509
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,920
Of course.

510
00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:26,929
Why else would he try to stop me?

511
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:30,079
The truth won't be out

512
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:32,179
unless he is found.

513
00:36:36,980 --> 00:36:37,500
Oh no.

514
00:36:37,530 --> 00:36:38,849
I need to go back now.

515
00:36:39,269 --> 00:36:40,969
If Princess Ningshuang

516
00:36:40,989 --> 00:36:42,559
discovers I've sneaked out,

517
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:43,900
I'll be done for.

518
00:36:47,579 --> 00:36:48,420
I heard

519
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:51,550
that she nearly had a maid beaten to death

520
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,360
over a fart.

521
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:00,059
Bye!

522
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,090
Who told you that?

523
00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:06,949
If you're tired, go upstairs and sleep.

524
00:37:58,260 --> 00:37:59,460
It's raining.

525
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:01,360
You need an umbrella.

526
00:38:04,670 --> 00:38:06,469
I came out in haste out of fear

527
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:08,760
of being caught by Princess Ningshuang.

528
00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:11,530
Let me walk you back to Ningshuang Palace.

529
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:13,280
At least I can defend you

530
00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:15,039
if the princess blames you.

531
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:19,079
Yes.

532
00:38:24,579 --> 00:38:26,309
Have you heard of immortality?

533
00:38:27,420 --> 00:38:28,420
When cultivators

534
00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:30,460
reach the ultimate success,

535
00:38:31,099 --> 00:38:32,539
they'll gain immortality

536
00:38:32,539 --> 00:38:34,340
and turn into celestial beings.

537
00:38:36,860 --> 00:38:38,320
I'm about to achieve that.

538
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:42,340
Really?

539
00:38:42,780 --> 00:38:43,710
But first,

540
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,500
I need the help of someone

541
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:47,030
who has a fated bond with me.

542
00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:49,099
That person is referred to

543
00:38:51,340 --> 00:38:52,269
as the ferryman.

544
00:38:58,380 --> 00:38:59,820
That's wonderful!

545
00:39:00,780 --> 00:39:02,599
When you find your ferryman

546
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,079
to guide you to immortality,

547
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,340
won't I have

548
00:39:06,619 --> 00:39:08,510
a celestial being as my friend?

549
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:13,480
The mortal world has its laws,

550
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,039
and the celestial realm has its rules.

551
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:16,500
Once I become an immortal,

552
00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:18,550
I'm afraid

553
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,019
I can never visit the mortal world again.

554
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:25,760
How's that possible?

555
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,440
Aren't there many stories
about immortals coming down to earth?

556
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:30,599
As you said,

557
00:39:30,929 --> 00:39:32,260
those are just stories.

558
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:33,840
They are proof

559
00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:39,940
of how difficult it is for humans
to meet immortals in their lifetime.

560
00:40:00,010 --> 00:40:00,809
Well...

561
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:08,519
Have you found your ferryman yet?
