High Immortal,

I've sewn the clothes for you.

Have a look.

I don't need them.

They're not new clothes.

These are the clothes which were torn

when you were catching the gnats.

I know you love this piece of clothes,

that's why I patched them up for you.

You don't have to do this kind of sewing work for me.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Compared to Ninth Hell,

no matter what happens now,

I'm still very happy.

Is the Demon Clan

having a hard time in the Ninth Hell?

When you think of someone,

it is not suffering even if it's thousands of years.

It's just a little lonely.

I used to be like you.

Then I realise

life is different from what I thought.

I thought there'd be results if I wait.

Then I realise,

even though I waited for a thousand years,

it still can't be compared to that one moment in mortal world.

Then just don't wait anymore.

High Immortal.

Why won't you look back?

There might be nice things around you.

What about you?

Will you look back?

It's too late for me to turn back.

Yes.

We're taking a road with no return.

It's also a road with no regrets.

[Great choice.]

Boss.

Get me another bowl of waxberry punch.

Lord Zhan,

there's a lot in a bowl.

Why don't you order after finishing this?

Then you won't waste it.

Boss, don't worry.

It won't be wasted.

Someone who loves it will come and drink it.

Sure.

Here, Lord Zhan,

enjoy.

Thanks, boss.

Should I add something in it?

I should add some vinegar.

I'll add salt then.

Forget it.

This is a fruit punch,

I shouldn't add anything.

It's about time.

I have to patrol the streets.

But I've nothing much to do today,

I can take my time here.

Thanks, boss.

I'm leaving.

Alright, alright.

Take care.

He finished it.

Lord Zhan sure has good appetite.

Lord Zhan.

What a coincidence,

we meet again.

Miss Li.

[I thought that in the mortal world,]

[men and women shouldn't have any physical contact.]

[Why are they standing so close]

[on the street?]

I went to Qifeng Prefecture

and gifted Madam Jiang the fabric which I weaved myself

to thank you for saving my life the other day.

One more thing.

This is a handkerchief which I weaved by myself.

You should take it with you, Lord Zhan.

[Amazing.]

[Qifeng Prefecture even accepts gifts.]

I don't need it.

[You have handkerchiefs.]

[Why would you...]

That day, Madam Jiang said

that the weather is hot.

You have to patrol the streets,

it's inconvenient without a handkerchief,

so she told me to weave one when I have time.

Is that because

you don't like this pattern?

Then I'll make...

You don't have to.

I'll take this.

Later, I'll ask Zhao Wu

to send money to the textile store.

We'll become a family in the future.

You don't have to stand on ceremony, Lord Zhan.

[Become a family?]

[You're not even engaged yet.]

[Do you really think you're so close with him?]

Miss Li,

we just met each other.

We should keep some distance.

Every encounter is fate.

I thought I wouldn't meet you again

after that day.

However, I meet you

while I'm on my way to the textile store.

Isn't this fate?

[He patrols the streets every day.]

[You can basically]

[meet him everywhere.]

[If this is considered fate,]

[he would've married the owner]

[of the breakfast joint.]

Miss Li,

I patrol the streets every day.

I meet a lot of people.

This isn't really fate.

If every encounter is fate,

I guess the owner of the breakfast stall and I

have undeniable bond.

What is wrong with you?

Young Lady Li has been so polite,

how could you pick on her?

Rui'er.

Young Lady.

I'm sorry, Lord Zhan.

My servant has been spoiled,

please excuse us.

Miss Li.

If I've offended you

in anyway,

please forgive me.

If there's nothing else,

I'll excuse myself.

Lord Zhan.

What is wrong with Zhan Yan?

How could he not take the hint?

Lord Zhan is not a flirtatious man.

It's normal that he's not good at pleasing a lady.

Let's go.

Zhan Yan was so cold to Li Qiong Xiang,

but Li Qiong Xiang stood up for him.

I guess

she really cares about Zhan Yan.

This is amazing.

Your embroidery is really neat.

You're still the best after all.

You have such great talent.

I wonder

what kind of man

will be worthy of you.

Young Lady Li

is already discussing marriage with Lord Zhan

from Qifeng Prefecture.

This is a perfect match.

Lord Zhan is dashing,

Young Lady Li is gentle and virtuous.

They're perfect for each other.

Congratulations, Young Lady Li.

Thank you, sisters.

[So, for the mortals,]

[only girls like her who come from respectable family]

[is the perfect match for Zhan Yan.]

Have you not taken the fragment of Penglai Drawing

from Duanmu Cui?

I've got it.

That's great.

However, recently,

there's something weird with this fragment.

It will vibrate somewhere in Qifeng City.

It seems to have sensed something.

Penglai Drawing

used to be collected by the mountain demon.

It's normal

that you don't know what's special about it.

Penglai Drawing

was torn into pieces by the last Ascendant,

scattered into the mortal world and became treasure.

The people have been keeping them since then.

There's a connection between them.

They can find each other with it.

If it has reactions,

it means

there's another piece over there.

Do you know where it is?

Jinxiu Textile.

Jinxiu Textile?

Who lives there?

I have no idea,

but I can find out.

You must act fast!

Only with the fragments of Penglai Drawing,

only can we lift the seal of the Ninth Hell.

The life and death of the Demon Clan at the Ninth Hell

are in your hands.

I will do everything in my power to get them.

Is Wengu

the child

borne by Demon King and the mortal woman?

No.

During the battle of Chong City,

the late king was killed,

while we are trapped in the Ninth Hell.

The odd thing is that

he was the only one disappeared.

Maybe he died in the battle.

What a waste.

If he comes back,

I am willing

to hand over the Ninth Hell to him.

He can help the Demon Clan escape from the Ninth Hell,

live their lives with dignity in the mortal world.

Then, they don't have to suffer here any more.

You serve the Demon Clan with devotion.

They only take you as their leader.

Enough.

Stop deceiving me with shady flattering speech

of the mortals.

Settle the things I told you as soon as possible.

The son of Dragon Clan

was supposed

to be the hope of the people in the Ninth Hell.

Has he

really died?

In terms of appearance,

I'm prettier than her.

You're the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms.

No one can compare to you, my lady.

Good boy.

You have good taste.

Her gown is longer than mine.

Who?

Who dares to wear a gown longer than my lady's?

I'll tear it apart!

Qing Hua!

Qing Hua, don't go there!

Come back!

Qing Hua.

Qing Hua?

Wengu, Wengu!

Look.

Look.

Is our Little Qing Hua

on its last legs?

Duanmu,

what's wrong with you?

My lady, I beg you.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have played dead.

Little Qing Hua,

don't be scared.

I'm a very nice person.

But you

don't usually talk like this.

She's acting like a decent lady.

This is terrifying.

Shut up!

Why should I act like someone else?

I'm just

learning a new trick of the mortals.

Of course you don't have

to act like someone else

because no one can compare to you.

Really?

You do have good taste.

Not like someone else.

Too bad, you're not him.

Why is Sect Leader Duanmu

acting weird today?

Is she in a bad mood

and trying to take it out on us?

Leave first if something happens.

I'll handle the rest.

With your stupid blade?

It's been so long since we last met.

Back off. Watch out.

What's the matter?

He thinks

that you're angry.

Am I such a...

I am not

a quick-tempered person.

Lord Zhan,

I'll go and clean things up now.

Will Zhang Long

hurt Zhao Wu?

My heart skipped a beat.

Who?

Don't you think

that I'm very gentle?

What's this?

I'm keeping count of how long you can stay gentle.

-You... -I...

Today, I'll show you

the ladylike side of me.

A decent lady needs this.

Doesn't it belong to Li Qiong Xiang?

I won't use it anyway,

why don't you keep it?

I guess I have no choice but to say yes.

What's the matter?

Something's wrong.

Take care.

Miss Ya'er,

take a look at this,

will your madam like it?

Look,

a real butterfly.

Even a butterfly comes here.

The flower embroidery looks so real.

It even attracts a butterfly.

If I hadn't delivered it myself,

I wouldn't believe

that half an hour ago,

this piece of clothes was torn.

I heard that Miss Li

wanted to use silk and create Lingxiao Red fabric.

Lingxiao Red fabric is not for sale.

But we have

a lot of premium clothing and fabrics available in our store.

You can choose whatever you want.

Thank you, miss.

Brother Zhan,

you're here.

[She used to call him Lord Zhan,]

[but now she's calling him brother.]

I accompany Miss Duanmu to choose fabrics.

Brother Zhan.

I made you clothes.

Tell me if you like the colour and the fabric.

Rui'er.

I wanted

to send it to Madam Jiang myself.

Who knows you came here today,

you can try it on

and see if it fits you well.

[This is weird.]

[I could smell the stench]

[of the handkerchief just now.]

[But it's gone now.]

[Where did it go?]

Miss Duanmu,

you've been browsing for quite some time.

Did anything catch your eyes?

We have both ready-made clothes and fabrics.

Since you're a friend of Brother Zhan,

then you're also my friend.

Just choose whatever you like.

I'll gift it to you.

Since when have Miss Li and Lord Zhan

become so close?

Why didn't I know?

Miss Li,

just keep the clothes.

I won't accept a reward without contributing anything.

Brother Zhan.

Madam Jiang gave us so many dowries

when she came to our house to discuss our marriage.

I'm just giving you a piece of clothes.

You shouldn't hesitate.

I feel a little cold.

Let me

put on these clothes.

You...

How can you be so rude?

What is this smell?

What smell?

Our fabric

is made of premium mulberry silk.

Stop slandering us!

Sorry.

We are boiling cocoons in our backyard to extract silk.

The smell is strong.

Miss Duanmu,

please forgive us.

You've been browsing for quite some time.

If you can't find anything you like here,

there are more items there.

It is taking me quite some time.

But the fabrics here

are nothing special.

Nothing special?

Can you weave it if there's nothing special?

Rui'er.

Duanmu.

What is so hard with weaving fabric?

Why don't you

sell me a weaving machine?

Why would a textile store sell weaving machine?

You're obviously picking on us!

Rui'er.

Oh, my lady.

I didn't know that Miss Duanmu can weave.

In that case,

I'll give you a weaving machine.

-No! -No!

Lord Zhan said,

we shouldn't accept gifts without making contributions.

Carry the weaving machine home

by yourself.

Leave the weaving machine outside the door,

I'll carry it myself tonight.

What is that?

Zhan Yan?

What's the matter?

Are you taking this machine back

for your future wife?

Duanmu,

nothing is going on between Miss Li and me.

I don't understand

why you're picking on her.

There's something wrong with her Jinxiu Textile.

What could go wrong with her textile store?

I haven't found it yet.

Duanmu,

we must not

make assumptions without any evidence

so that we don't misjudge the good people.

She's good people?

But I suspect her.

What do you mean by that?

Does that make me the bad guy?

This is not what I meant.

Lord Zhan.

Compared to evidence,

I'd rather trust her intuition.

She never doubts people easily.

If she finds someone questionable,

something must be wrong with that person.

Wengu, you're the best.

Unlike someone,

he doesn't even trust me.

When I solve a case,

I never rely on my intuition.

In that case, sorry.

When Xihualiu Sect solves a case,

we always rely on our feelings

and mood.

Lord Zhan.

People with different principles should not work together.

It's not just about principles.

I'm afraid some people are exploiting their power

and giving special treatment to the suspect.

Sorry for disturbing you.

I'll excuse myself.

There's Lingxiao Red in Jinxiu Textile,

and there's Lingxiao Blue in Duanmu Residence.

I can't use my power.

I must weave it myself.

You have an immortal body.

Why are you torturing yourself?

I want to show Zhan Yan

that I can do

whatever Li Qiong Xiang can do.

Li Qiong Xiang is just a mortal.

Why do you care so much about her?

Then I can't be defeated by a mortal.

Wengu,

do you think God of Matchmaking

makes great couples?

There are unhappy couples as well,

but most of them are equal in terms of social rank

and appearance.

That's tacky.

So what if they have equal social rank?

I think mutual feelings are more important.

Look at Zhan Yan and Li Qiong Xiang.

One is well-versed in handiwork, one is well-versed in military.

One lives in the south,

one lives in the north.

From lifestyle to personalities,

they're completely different.

How can they live together?

Li Qiong Xiang and Lord Zhan?

I heard there will be a wedding in Qifeng Prefecture.

So it's true.

So the entire Qifeng Prefecture knows it.

Zhan Yan still keeps his relationship with Li Qiong Xiang

from me.

He's making it more obvious.

He's the biggest liar in the mortal world.

Lord Zhan has found a good match,

we should send him a gift.

After you finish weaving the silk,

what if we give it to Li Qiong Xiang

and Lord Zhan as a wedding gift?

Sure.

Dream on.

Lord Zhan,

it's very late.

You should go home and rest.

Two of us will patrol the streets.

I'm fine.

I'm alone anyway.

Long,

this road leads to Xihualiu.

We'd better don't go.

It's very peaceful there.

If Sect Leader Duanmu doesn't stir up trouble,

the Demon Clan won't dare to incite her.

Oh you.

You're such a coward.

Peaceful?

Look at Lord Zhan.

He's devoted to his job.

Now look at you.

You only care about your own safety.

What a disgrace.

Let's take another route.

See.

Even Lord Zhan is scared now.

Otherwise he would've gone to Xihualiu.

Lord Zhan has gone

to Xihualiu many times.

Why would he be scared?

As I see it,

he's avoiding something.

Could it be...

Could it be that he's fighting with Sect Leader Duanmu again?

Let's go.

Jinxiu Textile catches on fire!

Jinxiu Textile catches on fire!

Fire!

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Fire! Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry!

Bring the water! Quick!

Coming, coming!

Master!

My daughter!

My daughter!

Put out the fire! Put out the fire!

Lord Zhan,

save my daughter!

No problem.

Hurry up!

Don't go in there, Mister!

Put out the fire!

We'll save your daughter!

Put out the fire!

Put out the fire!

Hurry up!

Jinxiu Textile caught on fire?

Textile stores are always cautious with fire.

Why would it catch on fire all of a sudden?

You didn't set it on fire, did you,

my lady?

If I wanted to set it on fire,

it can't be put out even if there are more than one Zhan Yan.

Besides,

what does this have to do with me?

My lady,

judging from your recent attitude towards Jinxiu Textile

even setting it on fire for ten times is not enough.

Little Qing Hua,

if you spout another word,

I'll burn you like a lamp.

Duanmu won't do this kind of thing.

Little Qing Hua, mind your tongue.

I heard

that the fire started in an odd way.

The windows in Miss Li's room were closed,

but the candlestick fell

and burnt all the fabrics in her room.

Judging from this situation,

Zhan Yan is definitely

comforting Li Qiong Xiang now.

I heard

Miss Li has gone to Qifeng Prefecture

to help solve the case.

My lady,

don't you want to check it out?

When I said that she's suspicious,

Zhan Yan still sides with her.

Since he doesn't believe

in our ability in capturing demons,

why should I care about him?

What if

it's really a demon?

If Qifeng Prefecture doesn't ask,

we will not interfere.

But, Wengu,

Jinxiu Textile is really strange.

I could smell a demon's stench

on Li Qiong Xiang.

Speaking of which,

capturing demons

is the duty of Xihualiu.

I, Duanmu Cui, am the most caring immortal

among the Three Realms.

I can't leave this aside because of Zhan Yan.

I have to meet Li Qiong Xiang.

If she's really a demon and harming lives,

I won't let her off.

Sect Leader seems to be in a rush,

where is she going?

She said Li Qiong Xiang is a demon.

She's going to Qifeng Prefecture to arrest her.

That's impossible.

Miss Li looks rather decent.

She acts like a respectable lady.

How can she be a demon?

Don't let her hear this,

or you'll turn into a peach wood bench.

Why is there a hole on your clothes?

When I was cooking last night,

my clothes were accidentally scorched by fire.

Rui'er had been serving me since she was young.

Why would she be killed?

It is my fault.

Miss Li.

Have some tea.

Miss Li.

I know that you're very upset now.

However, only by finding the truth,

the sacrifice of your servant won't go in vain.

Could you tell us what happened

last night in details?

Is Brother Zhan not taking charge of this case?

Lord Zhan has to avoid arousing suspicion.

Poor Miss Qiong Xiang.

This bereavement money

was prepared by your godfather and me.

Just take it as our support to her

for having to deal with this disaster

after moving to Qifeng Prefecture for only a while.

Yan'er,

when you have time,

go and keep her company.

Godmother,

your rheumatism is flaring up, isn't it?

This is Red Flame Grass planted by Divine Doctor Wengu.

Sect Leader Duanmu said

it can cure rheumatism.

Yan'er,

I know you're a caring child.

But you shouldn't care

about me only.

You should care about girls as well.

As I see it,

you should comfort

Miss Qiong Xiong.

Godmother.

I actually...

Enough.

I've been down this road before.

Girls are very vulnerable

when they go through such a disaster.

If you show your concern at this time,

you'll win her heart for sure.

Godmother,

this is an old tea from last year, isn't it?

The tea which Duanmu Residence plants this year

is even more fragrant and refreshing.

I'll bring it to you.

Yan'er,

what's going on with you today?

When I talked about Miss Qiong Xiang,

you talked about Miss Duanmu.

You...

Godmother.

I've told you before this.

Nothing is going on between Miss Li and me.

I don't have any feelings for her,

not to mention marrying her.

Please explain this

to Mister Li

to avoid awkward situation.

Marriage is not child's play.

We've been discussing marriage,

how can we call it off?

Besides, today

Jinxiu Textile is having

such a hard time.

If I tell Mister Li now

that we'll call off the wedding,

we will be criticised.

Godmother,

solving case and getting married

are two different things.

I will investigate the case myself

and do justice to Li family.

But, regarding the marriage,

sorry but I can't do as you say.

If you don't want to explain it to them,

I'll turn them down myself.

No,

Yan'er!

Yan'er, where are you going?

This is...

Brother Zhan.

Brother Zhan!

Miss Li.

Behave yourself.

Brother Zhan, I'm sorry.

I was anxious and forgot to behave myself.

All I can think about is Rui'er.

She didn't deserve that.

What are you doing here?

Why?

Miss Li can come here,

but I can't?

I'm quite busy,

but I still keep my promise.

This time, I've come here

to fulfil my promise

and help Qifeng Prefecture get rid of evil spirits.

Today?

Today is suitable for doing anything,

so it has to be today.

But today, Miss Li and I...

You'll do your thing and I'll do my thing.

We won't interfere each other.

I remember it now, Brother Zhan.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Excuse me.

What did you recall?

Before I passed out, I was weaving fabric.

I noticed that the Lingxiao Red fabric

was moving.

After that, I passed out.

Lingxiao Red fabric?

Can you show it to me?

What are you doing?

Aren't you cleaning the house now?

We won't disturb you here.

Yes,

Duanmu, carry on.

Miss Li and I will go to Jinxiu Textile.

Do you really think I'm here to clean up?

Brother Zhan.

This is Lingxiao Red.

After finish weaving it,

I'll make it into wedding clothes,

marry you,

and have a happy married life with you.

Brother Zhan.

There'll be two pieces of wedding clothes.

Let me get your measurements.

Let me measure your neck.

Now I'll measure your waist.

If I give you some treatment,

you'll recall who the culprit is.

Miss Li.

What did you do to her?

Nothing.

Why can't I trace the demon's stench?

In this case, just take your time.

I'll take her to the doctor.

You're leaving?

Fine.

Since you like to stay with each other,

just stay together for your entire life!

Silkworm Phantom,

where is the fragment of Penglai Drawing?

I don't know what you're saying.

The fragment is your cocoon.

If my fragment hadn't pointed to this textile store,

how long do you plan on hiding from Elder?

I didn't mean to hide it.

It's just that my wish hasn't been fulfilled,

of course I won't give you the fragment.

Wish?

I'm afraid before your wish is fulfilled,

Zhan Yan has already found the truth.

This is why I want to kill him.

If Duanmu Cui hadn't interfered,

I would've succeeded.

This person will come in handy.

You must not kill him.

Don't you forget our deal.

I didn't forget.

Help me fulfil my wish,

I'll get you the fragment.

I've lent you the power of Demon Clan

so that you can complete

Lingxiao Red soon and regain your power.

That time, you can do whatever you want to avenge.

However, before that,

do not alert our enemy.

If you catch Duanmu Cui's attention,

both of us will die.

Is Duanmu Cui really that great?

If you don't believe me,

you can give it a try.

What's this?

Why did you send me

an invitation from Jinxiu Textile?

There's something I need to tell you.

A coroner has examined

Rui'er's body.

There's no ashes in her throat.

This shows that she was already dead

before the fire started.

So, she was killed first,

then someone set fire to destroy the body.

So, the murderer is

Li Qiong Xiang?

We haven't found any evidence yet.

Evidence again.

They were alone in the room.

If Rui'er wasn't burnt alive,

she must've been killed by her.

The coroner has examined,

Rui'er died of suffocation,

but there weren't any injury

or traces of homicide.

It's not caused by a human.

If it wasn't caused by human,

then it must be demon.

I told you Li Qiong Xiang is suspicious,

but you didn't trust me.

I trust you.

That day. when she was taking my measurements,

I could feel that she was going to attack me.

You showed up and stopped her.

Yet you couldn't trace

any demon stench from her.

We do not have solid evidence as well.

If we act rashly, we'll alert the culprit.

Besides,

I went to Jinxiu Textile a few times after that,

but Li Qiong Xiang has been avoiding me.

So, you want to go to Lingxiao embroidery exhibition

and investigate Li Qiong Xiang.

You suspect Li Qiong Xiang could be a demon.

So, you're asking Xihualiu

to go there with you.

Dear all-powerful Sect Leader Duanmu,

will you help me?

Since you are

asking me yourself,

and I'm not narrow-minded,

I'll take the trouble

and go there with you.

Here, please go in.

Here.

This way, please.

Finally you are not wearing your uniform,

you do seem well-off.

Wengu,

you've always hated the crowd.

Why would you come here

with us today?

You couldn't trace the demon stench

from Li Qiong Xiang.

There's something fishy.

So, I'd better stay with you.

What's so fishy about it?

Since we're out,

we should enjoy ourselves.

Alright.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please take your seat.

The exhibition of Lingxiao Red fabric

will start in no time.

This set of Lingxiao Red wedding clothes

is made of red silk

my father purchased 15 years ago.

I weaved it myself

and I'll wear it on my wedding day.

Lingxiao Red

has a blood-red colour,

yet no single drop of dye was used.

It's a peerless treasure.

Today, you can feast your eyes on it.

It's coming.

Isn't this Mister Li?

That's him!

That's Mister Li!

What's going on?

Father!

Father!

Father!
