Original subtitles

Are you all right?

Lady Owner.

You were friends with my master for decades.

You can't deny that so easily.

If you kill her today,

can you say that you'll only feel the pleasure of revenge

and not a shred of pain or sorrow?

You're just a young lad who's still inexperienced.

How dare you order around a Nine-tailed Fox!

The ignorant truly know no fear.

I will indulge you today.

I'll let you all be buried together!

Wang Lu.

The Spirit-Splintering Piercer can damage primordial spirit.

Hurry, kill the Nine-tailed Fox!

You want to kill me?

Come on!

Don't be ridiculous.

The Spirit-Splintering Piercer isn't meant for one of us.

ENTRANCE TICKET

Can you really bear

not giving me even a single cent?

Fine.

I'll give you one cent then.

Starting tomorrow, you're with me.

Did my master betray me?

No.

You possess an excellent physique and a bright mind.

You were born for martial arts.

I want to impart my special Winding Steps technique to you.

That's enough.

It's your first time using Inner Observance Technique.

Don't do it for too long.

I understand.

It's my first time using the Peeping Tom Technique.

I'll be able to hold out longer next time.

Shut up!

Get lost!

Your feet.

SCREAMING

Don't misunderstand.

I suddenly thought that I don't even know

your full name after all these years.

Just write "Ling."

I see the royal bone glowing.

It keeps vibrating.

Like there's some kind of power bursting out.

Wang Lu, congratulations.

Today's the day you absorb energy into your body.

Come on. Focus.

Lady Owner.

It turns out...

that you are...

Do any of us look like demons?

Making you worry about me

actually makes me feel bad.

Since you trust him,

I believe you.

Stop right there!

Stop!

After today, I wonder when you'll beat me up again.

I'm reluctant to see you go.

Don't worry.

Someday, upon my glorious return,

I'd surely beat you up badly

until you get promoted to Golden Core.

It's a deal.

I hate hypocritical humans like you the most.

Do you think I won't kill you

if you say that?

Like my master,

I've always treated you as Feng Ling.

Lady Owner.

A best friend.

A friend. Yourself.

If you can really kill us,

that's fine.

Come on.

Have you all gone crazy?

Drop your phony acts.

Today,

I will make you pay for what you did!

Watch out!

Sect Leader, you're finally here.

Ling'er.

Why did you turn out this way?

Who's Ling'er?

Don't ruin my plans.

Lady Owner.

You can deny me and Master, but what about Sect Leader?

Him?

Of course, I need to acknowledge him.

Feng Yin.

You locked me up in Lingjian Mountain for 30 years.

Thirty years!

You project an image of a kind father to others.

I want to ask you.

Aren't you tired of pretending?

It has been 30 years.

You were always worried that this would happen.

Am I right?

This day has finally come.

In the first few years,

I was always vigilant

about you turning back into a demon and running away.

However, slowly,

your human form

is the one I remember the most.

In the end,

I almost forgot your demonic form.

It's like you're really my daughter.

My top-notch Winding Steps

have four levels.

If you do it well, it's incredible.

Otherwise, it's not.

The key is in your heart.

Repeat after me.

The first bow is to Heaven and Earth.

"The first bow is to Heaven and Earth."

The second bow is to parents.

"The second bow is to parents."

Husband and wife exchange... Never mind.

I'll just teach you starting from the fourth step.

The Winding Steps require a graceful form like walking in clouds or water.

Start.

Stand up.

Practice on your own.

I'll come back later.

Old man, why are you sneaking around and follow me again?

Ling'er, come here.

Look.

I bought you a rice cake.

I'm already full from lunch.

I saw how hard you're practicing.

Treat it as a snack.

I don't want to eat. I'm going to continue practicing.

I won't disturb you then.

I'll go ahead.

Wait.

I just want to remind you.

Eat slower.

Don't choke.

I'll get going then.

Ling'er.

After riding the horse,

let's go home and eat, okay?

You're trying to trick me to go home again. I won't fall for it.

I want to go 300 more rounds.

All right.

Three hundred more rounds.

Whatever you say.

Sect Leader.

You're old. You might die soon.

You really crawled on the floor for 300 rounds because she wanted to?

Since you wouldn't leave her,

just stay with her in the forest while she trains.

-Let me be the Sect Leader. -That hurts.

That hurts.

You know how Ling'er is.

She usually ignores me.

When we're riding around,

that's when she'll talk to me more.

-Goodness, it really hurts. -It's all because you spoiled her.

What an embarrassment to Lingjian Sect.

That feels good.

That feels good.

What do you mean by embarrassment?

Look.

She looks so sweet when she smiles.

Hesitation invariably leads to trouble.

Why did you lock me up in Lingxi Town and never let me go down the mountain?

You've played tricks daily to beg me to stay in Lingjian Mountain.

You're afraid I would turn back into a demon.

Ling'er, have you gone silly?

If he really wants to lock you up,

did he need to find ways to convince you to go back to Lingjian Sect?

If he didn't want you to go down the mountain,

do you think you can leave?

Thirty years have passed.

In the days we were together,

I've seen you laugh

and make a fuss.

I've taught you martial arts and values.

I remember our countless moments together.

Do you only remember hatred?

Back then,

I saw how the Head Disciple

sacrificed himself because of the war between the humans and the demons.

The war between humans and demons

was a long time ago.

Now, nobody can tell who was right and who was wrong.

Why should we add another casualty

to this bloody war?

Regardless if you're a human or a demon,

that's not important to me at all.

To me,

you're always the Ling'er

who wants to ride around and eat rice cakes.

You're my daughter.

Silly child.

Sect Leader.

I'm doomed. My father's precious eyeglasses.

He won't be able to tell, right?

It's so obvious, how can he not be able to tell?

Sect Leader, listen to me.

We can't just let this go.

-It has to be according to the rules. -I told you many times.

Don't be too petty.

You must be...

Get that fixed, Sect Leader.

It's all right.

It's glued very nicely.

It's flexible and durable.

Didn't I tell you just now?

Don't be too petty.

Be happy.

Yes, you're so benevolent.

Ling'er.

You remember it.

I don't believe you can just forget

our relationship as a father and daughter for 30 years.

Ling'er.

Stop it.

Sister-in-law, don't let him fool you.

Think about the demons.

Think about Boren.

If you think what happened

is the five major sect's fault,

today, I can pay you back.

Sect Leader, are you crazy?

Father.

I knew you're a good kid.

Ling'er.

We're even now.

Sect Leader.

Father!

Boren.

Boren.

Now I finally understand what you said.

Maybe I don't want much.

I just want to be with you

and live the most ordinary life.

That way,

no one would get hurt.

You also wouldn't die this way.

Maybe I was wrong from the start.

I was wrong to treat you as my real father.

I was wrong to open my heart to you.

And you.

I was wrong to treat you as a friend.

From the moment I invested my feelings,

I can't go back

to the way it was anymore.

Father.

Take care.

I'm not filial.

If there's a next life,

I'm still willing to be your daughter.

-Sister-in-law. -Sister-in-law.

Boren.

Boren.

Boren.

Boren.

Boren.

Boren.

Boren.

Ling'er.

-Ling'er. -Boren.

Ling'er.

You...

Ling'er.

You...

You...

-Ling'er. -Boren.

Ling'er.

-Boren. -No.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Boren, your wife turned out this way because of them.

Boren, let's fight it out with them!

Why did you save me?

If we keep taking revenge,

we'll only be more indebted to each other.

Instead, it won't lessen the debt.

We should all know

this principle by now.

Thank you.

If I can meet you earlier,

maybe things wouldn't have ended up this way.

Sect Leader Feng Yin.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of her

and be with her until I grow old.

-Boren. -Boren.

Boren, no.

-Boren! -Boren!

Now that my Demon Orb has been destroyed,

I've become the same as ordinary people.

I promise.

I won't ever harm a human.

You can feel at ease now.

Ling'er.

Now,

I just want to spend the rest of my life with Ling'er in peace.

Farewell.

Master.

Ling'er and Xue Boren left

to live an ordinary life.

Maybe that's the ending that they really want.

I know.

I was just thinking,

what if I did something more back then?

Will things end differently?

But there are no what ifs

in a lot of things.

Xiaohai?

I've been thinking for a while.

I still want to ask you a question.

What question?

When exactly did you find out about Lady Owner's secret?

You already know since that time

with Master Zhifeng, right?

Indeed.

So you've long known that the Xue brothers

are demons too, right?

You hid that from me intentionally.

Xiaohai.

I know how you've always hated demons.

If you know the identity of Ling'er,

you'd surely have a hard time.

-Why should I cause you trouble? -You're wrong.

I won't have a hard time at all.

Because as long as she's a demon,

she's not my friend anymore.

To you, are real feelings

incomparable to these meaningless notions?

To me, the most real feeling is hatred towards demons.

At the Immortality Conference,

Lady Owner secretly helped us pass the challenge.

At the training in Little Qingyun, Lady Owner taught us martial arts.

In the training down the mountain,

when we were in danger, Lady Owner immediately came and helped us.

Even if...

Even if she turned into a Nine-tailed Fox,

she didn't kill us.

Can't all of this

change your pre-conceptions?

I'm very thankful to Lady Owner,

but you've never experienced the hopelessness of being betrayed by family.

You also never experienced

the helplessness

while hugging your family's body amidst blood and not knowing what to do.

Lady Owner can stop today,

but how about tomorrow

or the day after that?

Who can guarantee that demons won't kill again?

Xiaohai.

You have too much prejudice.

Maybe.

But that's my principle.

I still want to train for some time.

I won't go up the mountain for now.

Do you really want us to go our separate ways

because of these insubstantial things?

To you, they're insubstantial.

But to me,

they're nightmares that can never be forgotten.

Take care of yourself.

See you again.

The weather is very dry.

Beware of fire.

The weather is very dry.

Mr. Hai.

Beware of fire.

Mr. Du.

You're...

Mr. Hai.

Why are you alone?

I saw you fighting with the two demons from Xue family that day.

I admire you a lot.

Today, you're all alone.

Did you part ways from Lingjian Sect because of what happened?

That's not exactly what happened.

-I-- -If they don't want you,

I do.

Mr. Hai.

What do you think about joining Shengjing Sect?

Joining Shengjing Sect?

I never expected

that Lingjian Sect kept that Nine-tailed Fox alive

because they were too softhearted back then.

If you weren't so thorough,

wouldn't it lead to a disaster then?

Lingjian Sect is indecisive.

Aren't you mad about it?

Obviously, Shengjing Sect's ideal regarding killing demons

is more compatible with you.

Our techniques are also more suitable for you.

You flattered me, Mr. Du.

I'm just an Outer Court disciple

undergoing Qi Refining Stage in Lingjian Sect.

You don't need to regard me too highly.

Don't be too humble.

I've long known how extraordinary your Spiritual Root is.

Lingjian Sect's techniques

can't unleash your full potential.

Join Shengjing Sect

and your cultivation path would be bright.

Your current power would also increase tenfold.

I'm sorry.

I'm still a disciple of Lingjian Sect after all.

Mr. Hai.

Your view is very different from Lingjian Sect's.

Why would you stay with a bunch of people who don't care about you?

Even if Lingjian Sect's ideal is different from mine,

they still saved me when I was in danger.

Under any circumstances,

I can't leave them.

Those are minor things.

Vanquishing demons is a major thing.

Mr. Hai.

Think twice about this.

Why are you insisting on recruiting me?

Due to your potential and courage, of course.

I know my own potential.

And I don't think I'm courageous either.

It's only five o'clock.

You're already waiting here.

Tell me.

What do you really want?

Mr. Hai.

You're smarter than most people indeed.

It's just that I have nothing to offer you.

I'm only a disciple of Lingjian Sect.

Could it be

that you want to harm Lingjian Sect?

You...

Hai Yunfan.

A wise man submits to the circumstances.

Why don't you join us

and create a prosperous era together?

That's impossible.

Boren.

We're finally together.

Yes.

That's why happiness is having peace and stability.

Yes, whatever you say.

-Good girl. -I'll listen to you.

Let's go there and rest.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

As a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox,

you were willing to lose your power and become a mortal.

How surprising.

I don't care who you are.

Go away.

You're a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox indeed.

You can still maintain the human form without your power.

But it doesn't matter.

Even if you've lost your power,

I can make it grow back.

There's no need.

We just want to live a peaceful life.

Please leave.

How childish.

You're a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox,

but you want to live a peaceful life.

That's not up to you.

Watch out.

-Boren. -Boren.

Boren.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Stop!

Ling'er.

We've already retired to the woods.

Why are you still giving us a hard time?

Giving you a hard time?

Don't be so full of yourselves.

If not for the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox,

you don't deserve to appear in front of me at all.

Sect Leader.

As they say, "Men don't cry easily."

But if you really want to cry, go ahead.

I won't tell anyone.

Humans and demons have different paths.

From the moment I adopted Ling'er,

I knew this day would come.

I just didn't expect that when it finally happened,

I would feel so bad.

Ling'er is all grown up.

She should pursue her own happiness.

It's time for me to let go.

But I...

I feel like something's missing in my life.

Sit down.

I know what you're missing.

What?

You're missing common sense.

Ling'er and Xue Boren retired to the woods and are living harmoniously.

Isn't that better than being in Lingjian Mountain and looking at your old face?

I'm not done yet.

They're living blissfully.

Why do you look like...

someone has just died?

-You... -What?

You're a monster father.

I...

I'm just worried that Ling'er would be in danger.

That's why I said, Sect Leader,

when can you be enlightened?

Shouldn't you give me

more spirit stones so you can keep a special talent like me beside you?

I haven't dealt with you yet for Little Qingyun's Vermillion Fruit,

but you want more?

After Wanfa Sect's massacre, I pursued the perpetrator.

And I almost lost my life.

Can't I ask for more spirit stones then?

I'm begging you.

What information did you find?

He used Magenta Blaze.

Magenta Blaze?

That's Shengjing Sect's secret technique.

That's why I suspect

it has something to do with Shengjing Sect.

It might be a diversion tactic.

Shengjing Sect is the largest sect in the Nine Continents.

We need to discuss

and investigate this further.

That's why I said,

it's not bad for Ling'er to leave.

At least, we avoided war.

What's the matter?

I...

I can sense that Ling'er is in danger.

Master.

What exactly happened?

Who did this?
