Original subtitles

So she's a paper doll.

Master.

-Where is she? Why is she gone? -Why did she disappear?

-Yes. -Yes.

-What a trivial trick. -She was just there.

-And you dare to oppose me? -What happened?

-How did that happen? -I want to see

-She was just there. -how you'll handle this.

-What's going on? -Yes.

Why is this so strange?

-What happened? -Yes, give us an explanation.

-Yes. -Yes.

Happy times always go by so quickly.

Everyone, don't be scared.

That was the goddess of Aixin Sect, Butterfly Wu.

That's right.

She's the legendary Nine Heaven Fire Butterfly.

After dying in the fire, it can resurrect once again.

-They're beautiful. -Look, butterflies.

-Butterflies. -Butterflies.

-They're so beautiful. -Butterflies.

-They're so beautiful. -Yes.

Look over there, they're so beautiful.

-Look. -Look.

-They're so beautiful. -They're so pretty.

-So beautiful. -Welcome, everyone

to join our Aixin Sect!

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-We're not done yet. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

-Aixin Sect. -Aixin Sect.

Wang Wu.

Are you all right?

I got emotional earlier.

I almost had Qi Deviation.

I caused Wang Lu's paper doll to burn.

Wang Lu?

What exactly did Wang Lu do

to make you so emotional?

By accident,

he posed as Ouyang Shang.

Wang Wu.

Promise me.

Live happily.

Wait for me to come back.

Good thing I was quick-witted.

And I had Xiaohai's cooperation.

Otherwise, with such an accident in our performance,

our Aixin Sect

will be nipped in the bud.

How can it compete with Qianling Cult?

All right.

Our ambassador burned herself and you're still complimenting yourself?

You better think about what to do next instead.

What do you mean?

-Master is out, we'll do it ourselves. -We can't.

Do you think it's appropriate for a bunch of men flirting around?

Think of another way.

No.

I think Sect Leader's suggestion makes perfect sense.

I think you just want to kiss up to him.

That's not what I'm doing.

I'm serious.

Haven't you noticed?

The number of Qianling Cult's male and female disciples

are completely out of balance.

That's right.

The Holy Spirit Sorority's die-hard fans

are mostly male servants and old men.

In other words, in Wuhou County,

there are actually many potential clients,

especially women.

At this time, if we promote an energetic male group,

it would surely be a trend in the entire city.

That's what I meant.

Wang Lu.

Even though I don't quite get what you're saying,

let me make it clear first.

I'm tone-deaf and I'm a bit fat.

I won't drag you down.

I think you and Xiaohai

look good on stage.

What does a male group need?

Personality and individuality.

That would attract a huge number of fans.

Wen Bao, you must have confidence in yourself.

But I'm off-pitch when I sing.

Many singers are off-pitch when they sing.

We can use spells to adjust the tone.

You can lip-sync if you can't sing live.

"Adjust the tone"?

"Lip-sync"?

We have this.

Elder He will sing to it once when the time comes.

Wen Bao, just lip-sync on stage.

Lingjian Mountain's Good Voice Brand Trumpet.

You'll have the most beautiful voice in an instant.

It's the only thing you need to enamor young boys and girls.

It's a magical tool needed when you lip-sync at a concert.

Because you're worth it.

Lingjian Trumpet, at 688 spirit stones.

Lingjian Trumpet, the only thing you need in singing.

But Sect Leader,

my voice doesn't fit his image, right?

He's mature for his age.

Girls like that the most.

Cute with a husky voice.

Come on, Aixin male group.

Let's move it.

One, two, three.

Like this.

They're stealing people

from Qianling Cult in broad daylight.

Are they tired of living?

It's all because you bunch of useless people are not devoted enough.

You can't even make people stay.

You're always frowning.

Are you mourning?

Why don't you keep practicing?

If that jerk plays another trick,

do what it takes.

Get back those people he stole from us.

Understand?

Louder!

-Yes. -Yes.

I want to see

what you can do

without that woman.

Liuli Xian...

Xiaoliuli.

Why are you here?

I...

I suddenly became hungry.

So I went to look for food.

Then I happened to see you practicing your dancing here.

This is for you.

Why aren't you eating?

I've already checked these with the talisman you gave me.

They're all fresh.

There's no problem with the corn.

Fifth Elder suddenly disappeared today.

I'm suddenly in charge of tomorrow's performance,

but no matter how hard I practice, I can't achieve what Wang Lu said

which is a trainee who's qualified to make a debut.

I can only practice all night.

"Trainee"?

What's that?

However, Xiaohai, it's just a performance.

Do you need to be so serious?

Xiaoliuli, you're not aware.

Because of my body,

my attacking power has always been weak.

During our training in the mortal realm,

I know you guys have always taken care of me.

So in this matter,

I don't want to drag everyone down.

That's not true.

Xiaohai, assistive magical techniques are what you've been learning all along.

Those talismans you gave me are especially useful.

It's a shame that no talisman

can make me learn how to dance instantly.

I'll talk to you later.

I need to continue practicing.

Go ahead.

-Xiaohai. -Yes?

I know.

There's no problem with your steps and form,

but it seems like

the way you're practicing is problematic.

How so?

When I was practicing martial arts before,

my master often tells me

that all martial arts have to be improved and summed up in real battles.

That won't happen behind closed doors.

I'm thinking,

you must also practice dancing with a partner too, right?

But it seems you completely didn't consider your dance partner earlier.

That's why your steps and form

don't look coordinated.

It means that when I'm practicing,

I need to do it with a partner too.

That's right.

The audience sees more clearly indeed.

With your advice, I'm immediately enlightened.

I'll go and find Wang Lu.

It's late.

I'm afraid Wang Lu is already asleep.

It's all right.

I can practice with you.

What's so interesting about this?

Basically, this is

-the same as before. -That's right.

It's not interesting at all.

It's so boring.

-I'm not watching this. Let's go. -I won't be back.

This won't do.

-Let's go. -I'm not watching this either.

Who will be interested in them?

Wait, I'm leaving too.

What a bore.

Let's give a warm welcome to the heavenly male group,

Aixin Boys, who will perform the song, "A Little Sweet."

Please welcome Hai Yunfan and Wen Bao.

TIANXIANG PAVILION

I picked an apple

Then waited for you to pass by my house

And gave it to you to quench your thirst

Like cola during summer

Like cocoa during winter

You're the right person at the right time

We agreed to spend next weekend together

You told me so with feelings

I don't know why

My wounds haven't healed yet

You just barged into my heart

You make me see

A flower bloom in the desert

You make me want to write

A love song for you daily

With a romantic refrain

You also sing with me softly

Your eyes confirm the decision we made

From that moment on

You made my world turn pink

From that moment on

You're the only one I need in my life

-Love needs to be carved carefully -Love needs to be carved carefully

-I'm Michelangelo -I'm Michelangelo

-I'll carefully carve the happiest style -I'll carefully carve the happiest style

-Wen Bao, I love you. -Wen Bao, I love you.

-I'll be with you forever. -I'll be with you forever.

-Wen Bao. -Wen Bao.

-Xiaohai. -I love you.

-I'll be with you forever. -I'll be with you forever.

-Wen Bao, I love you. -Wen Bao, I love you.

-I'll be with you forever. -I'll be with you forever.

-Wen Bao, I love you. -Wen Bao, I love you.

-I'll be with you forever. -I'll be with you forever.

-I'll carefully carve -I'll carefully carve

-The happiest style -The happiest style

Stop dancing.

Stop dancing.

Stop dancing!

Everyone left!

Scram?

First of all, nation idols need to be innovative.

Old gimmicks will surely not make the cut.

At the end of the day, imitations are still fake.

Try harder, Mr. Zhou.

Wang Lu.

We're not done!

You did great, Wen Bao.

Your achievements are impressive.

If I knew I'd get so many gifts

and good food,

and most especially,

that so many girls would like me,

when we first met at Lingxi Town,

you should have let me become a nation idol.

-You're enjoying it now? -Of course.

I'll do it for 10 or 20 years more.

That would be the best.

Dream on.

Wang Lu.

Don't forget.

Our quest is to eliminate remnants of the Qianling Cult,

not to sing and dance all day long and enjoy ourselves.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

We just established this group two days ago.

It's not stable yet.

After a couple of days,

after Qianling Cult's followers all become Aixin Sect's disciples,

I'll take care of him.

All right.

By the way, Mr. He.

There's something I've always wanted to ask you.

You keep encouraging people to offer their blood.

What's the purpose?

Human blood isn't valuable.

Honestly, I really don't know.

Cult Leader was...

I haven't seen

what that old fart looks like.

As for the purpose of human blood,

it's beyond my authority.

We just collect them.

We don't know where it will go.

That's strange, isn't it?

Where is Liuli Xian?

Wang Lu, I'll go and check.

Miss.

Why are you alone?

Why aren't you going home?

I know.

You have nowhere to go.

Come on. Come home with me.

I have lots of delicious food at home.

Delicious food?

Do you have corn on a cob?

I have food that is even better than that.

-You'll see when you come home with me. -Okay.

You can't go with him.

He's not a good person.

You jerk.

Who are you?

How dare you ruin my plan?

Incredible.

Xiaohai.

If you say he's not a good person,

he must be bad.

Things given by bad people,

no matter how delicious they are, are still bad.

I won't take them.

You are

too gluttonous.

If you meet a martial arts expert from an evil cult

who tempts you with corn on a cob,

won't you be easily ambushed then?

But corn on a cob is really delicious.

I know.

I won't be gluttonous anymore.

All right?

What else?

What if you meet bad people?

If I meet bad people,

I'll punch him

like you did.

How's that?

All right then.

Okay, let's go.

Where are we going?

I heard

there's a corn stall on the west side that's open until midnight.

It can satisfy the cravings of a gluttonous girl.

Why?

You don't want to go?

I'll go.

Xiaohai, you're so nice to me.

You're the best.

Let's go, come on.

Isn't he Wang Lu's comrade?

-Let's go. -Who's that girl beside him?

Could she be

the nation idol's secret lover?

After tonight,

I'm afraid she'll be the public's enemy.

-They're so handsome. -They're so handsome.

Let's give a warm welcome to the heavenly male group,

Aixin Boys, who will perform the latest song, "Annual Rings."

XIAOHAI, WANG LU, AIXIN, HAI YUNFAN, BAOBAO

-They're so handsome! -They're so handsome!

TIANXIANG PAVILION

The rings are like fingerprints on my lips

The roots reminisce Bitter memories of kisses

The abundance of spring to autumn Hides the twilight

I'm the only one waiting For dawn in the cold

The most despicable thing in this world

Is loving but not ending up together

Too bad you never cared About my foolishness

You lived your youth in stability Amidst wild grass

Annual rings accompany me instead of you

Counting the annual rings one by one

I seriously keep my worries inside

I'm full of pride

I try to change the times we part ways

I admit I entertained The thought of forever

Too bad no one practiced

That script with me

Counting the annual rings one by one

I seriously keep my worries inside

I'm full of pride

I try to change the times we part ways

I admit I entertained The thought of forever

Too bad no one practiced

That script with me

-Nice! -Nice!

-Great! -Nice!

-Nice! -Nice!

-We love you. -Nice!

I have an expos�!

I have an expos�!

-Who's that? Get off the stage. -Get off the stage.

Last night,

-Get off the stage. -I saw that guy and girl

embracing in public last night!

What nonsense are you saying?

-He knows clearly if it's nonsense or not. -How is that possible?

-Liar. -Liar.

-You're lying. I don't believe it. -Liar.

-Liar. -We don't believe you.

It's not what you think.

-That's impossible. -Last night, you were the one who...

-It's not what I think? -That's impossible.

So you're admitting that you two were embracing last night, right?

-Impossible, I don't believe you. -Impossible.

-Liar. -You're lying.

-Miss, you have little experience in life. -I don't believe you.

Don't be scared.

What did he do to you last night?

Go ahead and tell us.

Who are you?

Did Qianling Cult send you here to cause trouble?

She's very young.

You tell us.

What is your relationship with her?

-Yes, what's your relationship? -Tell us you don't have any relationship.

-Tell us, what's your relationship? -Yes, what's your relationship?

We're...

-Tell us. -Yes.

We're friends.

Is that so?

-Explain and we'll believe you. -She seduced you.

-If you say you're friends, then you are. -Yes.

-She must have seduced you. -Tell us!

-Hurry and explain. -Tell us!

-Did she seduce you? Tell us. -Tell us!

She seduced you. It's her fault.

Don't spurt nonsense!

Liuli Xian, calm down.

They're being deluded.

Calm down, don't get agitated.

Liuli Xian.

Look.

Look, everyone.

Hai Yunfan.

As an idol,

you dare to act so lasciviously.

They're such a shameful pair.

-Liar. -Liar.

-Watch out. -How shameless.

-How shameless. -How shameless.

-Smash them. -How shameless.

-Liar. -Liar.

-You lied to us. -You fooled us.

-Liar. -Smash them.

-Liar. -Liar.

-You lied to us. -You fooled us.

-Liar, how shameless. -Wang Lu.

-Liar. -This day has finally come.

-How shameless. -Liar.

-Liar. -Liar.

Watch out!

-Liar. -Liar.

Xiaoliuli.

Xiaoliuli.

Wang Lu.

When you tried everything to bring me down,

you should have expected this.

The water that floats the boat can also sink it.

You should know that.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up this way.

-Liar. -Liar.

Xiaoliuli.

-Big fat liar. -Liar.

-Liar. -Liar.

-Liar. -How shameless, you lied to us.

-You're so shameless. -Liar.

Everyone.

Everyone.

I can understand how you feel,

but can you please listen to me?

Let me tell you what happened between them.

Xiaohai

met Xiaoliuli one afternoon after a light rain.

At that time,

she stood under the branch of an apricot tree,

staring blankly at a swing.

He played with her on the swing all afternoon.

Since they met,

they became innocent childhood friends.

They grew up together,

played together,

left their hometown together,

and went on the path of cultivation.

They lived so happily.

It's a shame

that good things don't last in this world.

Clouds dissipate and glass breaks.

In one of their quests

to protect innocent villagers,

they were attacked.

To save Xiaohai,

Liuli Xian's brain received great trauma.

She got a mysterious illness

that made her lose all her memories.

Currently, her mind is only like a five or six-year-old.

She's like a child,

but Xiaohai never gave up on her.

He made an oath

to protect her in her entire life

until her death,

despite knowing

that she'll never remember how they once were.

KEEP IT UP

Tragedies are good for sob stories indeed.

-Young Master. -Young Master.

General and Madam brought soldiers out for training,

yet Young Master sneaked out of Junhuang Mountain.

What should we do?

We must find the Young Master before General returns.

-Let's go. Young Master. -Young Master.

INVISIBLE

A mere Invisible Talisman can make you go around in circles already.

And you want to capture me?

It's rare for Father, Mother and Tiankuo to be away.

I can't just go back.

What happened to you?

Kid.

Who...

Who killed so many people?

Miss, how are you feeling?

Let me help you.

Miss, how are you feeling?

Mother.

Mother.

I'm so scared.

Are you all right?

Miss, hang on.

I'll take you to a safe place.

Miss, you're awake.

Let me help you.

Miss, don't be scared.

I'm really not a bad person.

What happened to the villagers?

They...

They're dead.

Were they your family?

When I saw the area earlier,

it seems someone with evil cultivation is the culprit.

I'm sorry, miss.

I shouldn't make you recall those memories

at a time like this.

You're bleeding.

It's just a minor injury, I'm fine.

The most important thing now is for you to recover.

I checked around the area earlier.

I didn't see any residents.

I can only find some herbs.

I'll cook them for you now.

Drink this medicine.

I have tried it.

It's not bitter at all.

I'm sorry.

It was my bad earlier.

I scared you.

So...

I can only make this

to apologize to you.

Look.

This rabbit

has something to say to you.

Miss, can you please drink your medicine?

Afterwards, I'll sing a song for you.

I hid a Recording Talisman in this insignia.

You discovered it so quickly.

You're so smart.

Miss.

I know misfortune has fallen on you,

but you must believe

that there's always hope as long as you're alive.

Drink the medicine while it's hot.

I'll make you some food.

I'm sorry, I woke you up.

It seems like your fever has subsided.

Eat this porridge while it's hot.

Care...

Careful, it's hot.

It's fresh from the pot.

It's delicious, thank you.

Eat more then.

There's more in the pot.

By the way,

I've been forgetting to tell you.

My name is Xiaohai.

I'm from Junhuang Mountain.

What's your name?

Young Master Xiaohai.

Young Master Xiaohai.

-Young Master Xiaohai. -I'm doomed.

-Young Master Xiaohai. -I should go.

If they find me, I'm dead.

I'll leave this insignia with you.

Take it to Junhuang Mountain and find me.

See you again.

You must come and find me.
