Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com

14

I'm Bai Suzhen from Snake Valley in Mount Emei.

15

Seeing that we are of the same kind, I originally wanted to let you off.

16

- But you poisoned someone...

- See how I will eliminate you today.

17

Don't, don't, don't.

18

I will certainly admit anything that I've done

19

But don't frame me for things I didn't do. When have I ever harmed any human?

20

You're still not admitting it?

21

You poisoned a married woman. I have already investigated it.

22

She was poisoned by your snake venom.

23

Was she that woman who asked for a protection talisman for her son?

24

You finally admit it now?

25

That was an accident.

26

Boss, have one.

27

Someone's here. Let's get into position.

28

Dear Goddess Nuwa, I pray for your protection and allow my son a long life.

29

Let Changsheng grow up healthily.

30

There's not much food in the house right now.

31

You probably wouldn't blame me for taking just a few, right?

32

Although rats took a bite out of this,

33

it's still okay. Let's keep this for my own consumption.

34

See, who did I harm or bother? She was the one who stole the altar food.

35

She ate what's left of my apple,

36

got poisoned by my snake venom, and you beat me up.

37

Tell me, am I being falsely accused or not?

38

Sorry, little brother. I was reckless.

39

That married woman is at death's door.

40

Please send some snake gall for her to neutralize the venom.

41

Don't worry. I'm the kindest young master.

42

I love to repay kindness.

43

Thank you, Little Brother. I have disturbed you.

44

Take care. I won't see you off.

45

She's such a silly snake.

46

Alms giver, I'm not here to beg.

47

Master, what instructions do you have then?

48

You set up your stall here daily. Have you encountered anything strange?

49

Since you asked, I recall something now.

50

Recently, many children went missing in Lin'an city.

51

All of them were the only child in their family.

52

It's an evildoing.

53

Everyone is saying that, they fear there is a demon in Lin'an city

54

who specializes in capturing children for food.

55

Looks like this demon is already in Lin'an city.

56

What's that smell? The smell of blood is very strong.

57

It smells similar to the evil odor from the other night.

58

This green snake is too vicious.

59

There is actually evil blood mixed into the antidote.

60

There's a demon.

61

This shouldn't be a problem anymore.

62

Where are you going, evil doer?!

63

How dare you misbehave here. I shall eliminate you today.

64

You've made a mistake.

65

How could I have made a mistake? Evil doer, accept death!

66

[ Jin Family Home ]

67

Young Mistress.

68

We are randomly entering Young Master Xu's bedroom. This is not a good idea.

69

But Ji Shi Pharmacy is owned by my family.

70

This is my house. What's wrong with it?

71

Rightly so, but this is the bedroom of a man who's an outsider.

72

I'm already an adult. Why are you talking so much?

73

If I were to lie down with disheveled clothes on this bed,

74

will my father agree to our marriage?

75

Young Mistress, you must not do this.

76

Your reputation will be hurt if it is not a union made with a matchmaker.

77

Hasn't CuiYingYing's nighttime meeting with ZhangSheng become a household tale for all time.

78

How can you believe the story in a romantic tale?

79

Go away, go away.

80

My Lady.

81

Let's see where you can run to.

82

My Lady! Amituofu.

83

Pervert! RuYi! RuYi!

84

Brother Hanwen, he was disrespectful to me.

85

Who are you?

86

Benefactor, please don't exaggerate.

87

I'm here to catch a demon. How could I have been disrespectful to you?

88

You took off my blanket. Isn't that being disrespectful to me?

89

Brother Hanwen.

90

This evil doer must be nearby. I must capture the monster.

91

Don't leave! Brother Hanwen, catch him!

92

Quickly, put on your clothes.

93

That stinky monk must have wanted to molest me. Go after him!

94

- Why are you so flustered?

- Master.

95

- What are you doing?

- There's a snake!

96

Go now.

97

Ruyi, what's wrong?

98

There's a snake.

99

Catch...catch it.

100

Don't make any noise.

101

Stand behind me.

102

What is that? Is the snake unconscious?

103

This is realgar. Snakes are afraid of realgar.

104

- Yinxiang.

- Old Master.

105

How are you serving the young lady?

106

I spent two silver coins to buy you.

107

I provided you with good food and drinks.

108

You can't just enjoy life without doing work.

109

Master, someone lifted the blanket off from the young lady.

110

What?!q

111

You let a pervert lift your blanket?

112

You have been seen naked?

113

Father, I'm already so embarrassed. Why did you say it so loudly?

114

Master, it's not as serious as what Yinxiang said.

115

Even though that pervert attempted, but Ruyi reacted quickly

116

and did not let the pervert do anything.

117

This is more like it.

118

What were you doing in Xu Xian's bedroom?

119

Xu Xian, I'm warning you.

120

Don't have any ideas on our Ruyi.

121

My Ruyi will marry into a grand family in the future.

122

Teacher is right. Ruyi is like the moon in the sky.

123

I can only look and won't dare offend.

124

This is more like it.

125

My Ruyi is a stellar beauty

126

who is a kind and understanding good girl. She deserves

127

more than a royal or noble husband.

128

Rightly so.

129

Kill the snake and turn it into snake gall.

130

What intelligent eyes.

131

Could it be aware?

132

Leave. I won't harm you.

133

If Master were to ask me, I will say that I was careless and allowed you to escape.

134

He will just scold me harshly.

135

If I need a snake gall, I can use other medicines to replace it.

136

It's not necessary to harm your life.

137

Remember this. You must keep warm in the future.

138

Don't randomly go into someone's room too.

139

Swim and go back to your lake.

140

He's not that bad as I thought.

141

Sister-in-law's poisoning is strange.

142

I have already changed the formula for twelve kind of medicines.

143

There are still no improvements.

144

It would be good if Fairy Sister is here. She'll surely have a solution.

145

Silly child. There's never been a physician nicknamed Fairy Sister in the Jiangnan area.

146

She just said that in order to stall.

147

Who knows whether she would dare to come or not?

148

- Who says I wouldn't dare to come?

- How did you come in?

149

Changsheng, doesn't your family lock the door?

150

It's clearly Physician Xu who forgot to lock the door when he came in.

151

Why blame the child?

152

Changsheng, this is the spiritual medicine for your mother. Go and feed it to her now.

153

What is this medicine made of? You can't have people consume random things.

154

Not telling you.

155

You...

156

Changsheng!

157

Changsheng.

158

-Physician Xu.

-Sister-in-law, come.

159

Let me check your pulse.

160

This pulse...

161

The pulse was weak earlier, now it's beating strongly.

162

How is this possible?

163

Thank you, Physician Xu, for saving my life.

164

Mother, it was this fairy sister who saved you.

165

It is all thanks to Physician Xu using expensive ingredients in the medicine.

166

That's how my medicine was effective.

167

I am ashamed.

168

This lady is...

169

My family surname is Bai. I'm Changsheng's good friend.

170

I see, it's Miss Bai. Thank you for saving my life.

171

Don't mention it.

172

It's getting late.

173

Why don't you stay for a meal before you leave?

174

Okay. Uncle Xu and Older Sister Bai, stay here for a meal.

175

- Okay.

- You should rest. I will cook.

176

How can a guest do this? I will do it.

177

Madam Yu, rest first. I will help him.

178

Okay, thank you.

179

You...even know how to cook?

180

Don't they say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?

181

One who stays away from the kitchen may not be a gentleman.

182

It's possible that he's a lazy person.

183

But cooking is just like being a physician.

184

We need to have skills with the knife and controlling fire, too.

185

The fire is not big enough. Help me to make the fire bigger.

186

Alright.

187

Since you always cook,

188

does that mean that you kill live creatures, too?

189

Why did you release that white snake then?

190

How did you know that I released a white snake?

191

You followed me?

192

Who followed you? I...I saw it from a distance, that's all.

193

Is the fire big enough?

194

Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?

195

I'm fine. As for you...

196

Do you always protect others like this?

197

Just like how you protected that snake.

198

You haven't told me why you released that snake.

199

There are many other methods to make snake gall.

200

It's not necessary to harm a life.

201

That little snake can also feel pain.

202

So it seems you just enjoy telling lies for fun,

203

you actually have a good nature.

204

What do you mean by that? I'm using genuine medical skills.

205

Moreover, I only give good medicines to others.

206

But you're claiming to be Huo Tuo. [A legendary physician during the late Han dynasty]

207

And that woman who sells tofu at Xi street calls herself Xi Shi. (One of the 4 great beauties in ancient China)

208

Miss, have you ever even walked out of your house?

209

Then, what about when you got someone to pretend to be a quack to hassle you?

210

That was because Madame Yu was still sick without a cure.

211

I needed to buy expensive medicinal ingredients to help her stay alive. I was forced to do what I did.

212

So, he did it to save someone. Looks like I blamed him by mistake.

213

But fortunately due to you, Madam Yu was able to live.

214

Miss, you are young, yet your medical skill is so advanced.

215

There must be a renowned physician in your family.

216

I would like to ask you, where's your master from?

217

I'm from Shu Zhong. Of course, my Master is from there so. [An ancient country destroyed by Qin state in current central Sichuan province)

218

Shu Zhong?

219

I know the names of renowned physicians in Shu Zhong.

220

Is your Master, Physician Cheng or Physician Meng?

221

My Master doesn't like to make himself known.

222

Hence, I can't tell you his name.

223

It seems he's an erudite hermit.

224

Miss, I would like to look at the medicine which you gave to Madam Yu.

225

I used all of it.

226

Time to eat.

227

Mr Xu, Miss Bai. Thank you so much.

228

Everyone, please try and see if it suits your taste.

229

Okay, come.

230

- Let me do it.

- I will do it.

231

Thank you.

232

It's delicious.

233

Older Sister, why did you use your hands to eat? You're really...

234

My father once asked a Tibetan high monk to explain Buddhism. The monk said that

235

if one is given gourmet food, one should hold it in bare hands

236

to show gratitude and respect.

237

I forgot. Jiangnan doesn't have this custom.

238

I have actually heard about that custom in Tibet.

239

Can it be that on your journey to Lin'an, you have been eating in this manner?

240

This is the first time I'm eating cooked food.

241

What I mean is that...

242

I have been eating dry rations along the journey. This is my first meal in Lin'an.

243

I'm full. Enjoy yourself.

244

Are you eating only this much?

245

We have a rule not to eat after noon.

246

I already broke the rule.

247

Miss Bai, why don't you follow our custom?

248

No need. It's okay.

249

I'm used to eating very little.

250

Older Sister Bai, do you feel that Uncle Xu's food doesn't suit your taste?

251

I was negligent. Miss Bai must be used to food from her hometown.

252

She's not used to our Jiangnan's food which is bland.

253

Then there's a solution. The Lantern Festival will be here in a few days.

254

We will be able to try food from distance places.

255

Older Sister Bai will definitely be able to eat food from her hometown.

256

Lantern Festival?

257

I heard that the Lantern Festival in Lin'an has lanterns piled high like a mountain under the moonlight

258

and fine views of magnificent ornate jeweled carriages

259

Yes, it's very beautiful. Why don't Older Sister Bai and Uncle Xu go together.

260

Come, let's eat.

261

Miss Bai, I made a promise that if you win,

262

you can punish me as you wish.

263

I, Xu Xian, keep my promises.

264

If you didn't use expensive medicinal ingredients to keep Madam Yu alive,

265

she wouldn't have been able to wait for me to save her.

266

Therefore, this bet should considered to be even now.

267

Miss Bai, you are so fair and straight forward.

268

I misunderstood you in the past.

269

That day when you dressed like a man,

270

were you really just trying to persuade me to reform?

271

It's wrong to deceive others. I was thinking, if I made a bet and won,

272

you wouldn't deceive others again.

273

Okay, I promise you.

274

Starting from today, I will never do this again.

275

You are truly a good person.

276

Miss Bai, you are over-complimenting me. You are the one who is truly kind and compassionate.

277

By the way, I would like to seek guidance from you.

278

What illness did Madam Yu contracted? What medicine did you give her?

279

About this...

280

Actually, she was bitten by a rare poisonous snake.

281

This kind of poisonous snake is rarely seen in the central plains.

282

I was born in Shu Zhong. I'm used to seeing this kind of venom.

283

I used the method of using poison to attack the poison. If the dosage is right, it can neutralize the poison.

284

So that's how it is.

285

Using poison to neutralize poison. Brilliant medical skills.

286

Xu Xian, oh Xu Xian, how useless of you to think highly of your medical skills.

287

This time, you actually lost to Miss Bai.

288

Lantern Festival...isn't it a day in the human world for families to come together?

289

Mother...

290

Why is it that you still haven't come to meet me.

291

Qing'Er, Mother has an important matter to attend to.

292

I need to leave for some time. You should find a place filled with the essence of the sun and moon,

293

and properly cultivate.

294

Mother!

295

Mother!

296

Waiter, more wine.

297

I'm coming!

298

Customer, here's your wine.

299

Customer, drinking solely wine is not as tasty.

300

Would you like to taste our specialty, snake only banquet?

301

Snake only banquet?

302

That's right! Snakes are actually wonderful ingredients. They're a treasure from head to tail.

303

Do you want to taste some?

304

You debone and skin a perfectly good snake just so people like you can satisfy your taste buds?

305

I don't want to eat a snake only banquet,

306

I want to eat a human only banquet.

307

De..de...demon!

308

Save me!

309

Stop! Stop killing innocent people!

310

I was wondering who was meddling in other people's business.

311

Turns out it's a monk.

312

Evil demon, you actually dare to murder publicly.

313

Today, I'm going to execute justice on heaven's behalf.

314

Execute justice on heaven's behalf?

315

I can care less!

316

Young Brother, run quickly!

317

Can this be

318

the thousand year old demon that Master mentioned?

319

[Peace and Tolerance]

320

Good!

321

Wonderful!

322

Once more!

323

Good!

324

Great!

325

Good!

326

More, more!

327

Brother HanWen

328

Brother HanWen

329

You look at these medicinal ingredients all day long. Don't you get bored?

330

How about coming with me to the Lantern Festival?

331

The Lantern Festival is the same every year. I can solve all of the riddles they come up with.

332

But no one can solve the riddles I pose.

333

Why don't you ask YinXiang to go with you.

334

YinXiang?

335

She doesn't even recognize words, how can I count on her to help me guess the riddles?

336

If you don't come with me,

337

I'll tell my father that you're earning making elsewhere behind his back.

338

He's going to be very angry, if he knows.

339

Ruyi, isn't it fine if I just go with you? Don't tell Master.

340

I heard that Ling Luo Boutique brought in some new garments

341

that look very good.

342

I just received my wages yesterday. I'll buy them for you.

343

This is more like it.

344

Good, good, good.

345

Nice, great martial arts.

346

Good.

347

Nice, nice.

348

One more!

349

Older Sister is so pretty!

350

Hurry!

351

Good!

352

Good!

353

You! Why are you still following me?

354

I...the reason I'm following you is to protect you

355

Look, you're not familiar with the people and places within Jin'An City,

356

with me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you.

357

You? Protect me?

358

Worry about yourself first.

359

Hey, believe in me

360

I drank too much previously, so I wasn't myself, that's all.

361

Don't look at how I appear a bit shoddy right now

362

In those days, I was like an overlord here.

363

You've met those four river demons, right...all depended on my skills.

364

Fine fine. Does poisoning antidotes depend on skills, too?

365

You know that I messed with the antidote?

366

Moreover, since you clearly knew that I messed with the antidote, why still risk your life to save me?

367

Truth to tell, besides my mother, no one has been that good to me.

368

Are you sure that you haven't fallen for me?

369

Don't have unrealistic thoughts. I would've saved anyone else, too.

370

Don't always leave in such a rush.

371

- I'm not done talking yet.

- I'm anxious to go to the lantern festival.

372

What's so fun about the Lantern Festival?

373

It's just a bunch of bookworms giving themselves a hard time guessing the riddles from the lanterns.

374

I will show you something even more fun. You haven't seen the night view at West Lake, right?

375

I will take you there.

376

I'm not going. Go on your own.

377

The two of us don't share the same beliefs. We don't have anything in common.

378

Ruyi, I'm going to that shop which sells writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper.

379

You visit Ling Luo Boutique and shop for something.

380

What's so interesting about writing brush, ink stick, ink slab and paper?

381

Then be quick about it.

382

Young woman, wait for me.

383

Excellent. One more.

384

One more.

385

Boss, give me a portion.

386

It smells so good.

387

Give me ten portions.

388

- Thank you, shop owner.

- Ladies, take care.

389

Red pairing with green?

390

So common.

391

She's seems to be criticizing my taste.

392

I'll learn from this lady from Ji Shi Pharmacy.

393

lest I become a laughing matter.

394

Demoness, where did you come from? Why do you just look like me?

395

Did I offend you?

396

You didn't.

397

I can wear whatever I like. Why call me a demoness?

398

Looking for trouble?

399

Miss, how is 'demoness' an offensive word.

400

Moreover, I can see that you don't have any spiritual aura. You are definitely not a demoness.

401

- You said that I don't have an aura?

- You really who don't have any.

402

Demoness are actually much better looking than you. Also,

403

who gives you the right to wear whatever you want, while others can't follow suit?

404

My Young Mistress is so pretty. No matter what she wears, she looks better than you.

405

If you can't compete with her, change to another set then.

406

- You!

- Me? What's wrong with me?

407

Ridiculous.

408

You again? The moment you arrive, you acted so rudely. Look how you scared her away.

409

I'm going to apologize to her.

410

Miss, you haven't paid any money for your clothes.

411

Money? What's money?

412

Miss, you are not going to disappear on me, right?

413

Boss, wait. See? You can't manage without me.

414

Let's see if you are still ungrateful to me.

415

Here, Boss.

416

Where did she go?

417

The big bird is very pretty.

418

Little girl, do you like this phoenix?

419

Then...let me ask you something.

420

Have you ever seen this kind of pearl before?

421

As long as you have seen this kind of pearl before,

422

I will give you everything I have.

423

Look carefully at it.

424

Xian'er, you scared Mother to death.

425

Why did you come here? I will take you to buy sweets, okay?

426

Don't wander off again, okay?

427

Thank you.

428

Stop dreaming. Do you think that any girl you see is your daughter?

429

Shut up.

430

Take care. Miss,

431

do you want to pose a riddle or guess a riddle?

432

If you pose a riddle, just write on any lantern.

433

If you guess a riddle correctly, you can choose any lantern you like.

434

- Really?

- Yes.

435

This game is very interesting.

436

- I will pose the riddle first.

- Alright.

437

- Come.

- Which do you like?

438

- Let's take this one.- That one? Good.

439

Hello.

440

Come and take a look.

441

Brother Han Wen.

442

I thought you would take a long time. You chose a garment that quickly?

443

I encountered a country bumpkin with bad taste.

444

- This looks nice.

- This suits you.
