[The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils]

[Episode 24]

I wonder where he is and if he is injured.

Tell me, please. I will go help him now.

He is injured.

But for now, his life is not in danger.

He is in the nearest town up this path.

- Thank you. - Come quickly!

Come look at this!

Coming.

Hurry up!

Brother Xiao,

why don't you come inside and we'll talk more about the message?

Please.

Let's go.

How is she?

Look.

Where did this come from?

I took it off her neck.

Back then, I made a mark on their left shoulders.

You...

Look at it yourself.

This is Zi.

She is your daughter.

I can't believe you killed her with your own hands.

Not only did you not take care of her,

but now you've killed her. You are a cruel father. A heartless father!

What is it?

It grieves me to see

the tragic death of this young lady.

Get this off of me! It is all right. Untie me.

She was using...

The Old Freak of Xingxiu's Tortoise Breathing Skill.

How did you know that?

Zi, where did you learn these heterodox martial arts?

And how did you know that my name is Zi?

Didn't you hear what we just said?

When I pretend to be dead, my heart shuts down.

I can't hear anything, and I don't know anything that happens when I'm "dead".

Zi.

Zi.

I am your mother.

He is your father.

We have been separated for over a decade.

Today, we can finally be reunited.

You... are my mother and father?

You are kidding!

Have you been

wearing this lock charm since you were a child?

How do you know that?

Then we are right. You are my daughter.

My little Zi.

Zi.

You really are my mother

and father?

Then why did you leave me in the river?

What kind of father would do that?

It was because you were naughty.

Go and let your Uncle Chu go.

We are facing powerful enemies. Stop messing around.

Let him go. Well, I can do that.

- But I should get something in return, right? - Zi...

Zi, be good.

I will give you something nice.

Let go of Uncle Chu quickly.

Something nice? Let me see it first, all right?

- I heard... - Take it out, take it out. those silks loosen up in the water.

I will give it a try.

Hey, old man! It is none of your business!

You are meddling again.

You stop right there!

Thank you for your help.

This young lady is way too spoiled.

Enchantress.

Give it back to me.

Don't ever use anything like this again.

You...

Father!

He is bullying me.

Nonsense!

How could His Highness be the father of an enchantress like you?

Your Highness, that is not true at all, is it?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Good work, everyone.

Who is this man?

All these people are speaking respectfully to him.

Zhu?

What is the matter with you?

Your Highness,

I am afraid that the Evils will be here soon.

Let's... get going now.

If we are destined to encounter him here, we can't avoid it even if we want to...

Your Highness, it is our duty to fight the enemy.

You must bear in mind the interest of the nation and return to Dali as soon as possible.

His Majesty is worried.

There is no escape for you!

Just give up!

I will spare your life for the sake of your son.

Every time I see you, you are with pretty ladies.

You are a lucky devil.

Er Niang, you are very pretty too.

Stop that! What is all this nonsense?

Old fool, I think you've had enough of this life!

You have a coward of a son who won't acknowledge me as his master!

What kind of father are you?

Come on! Let me cut you!

Little green man!

Come on!

- Brother! - Wan Li!

Wan Li! Move! Let me do it.

Your Highness!

You must not do this!

Wan Li.

Wan Li.

Your Highness...

I would rather die than give in.

I have been loyal all my life to the Duan clan of Dali.

(The Duan clan of Dali?)

Brothers,

I...

will leave first...

- Brother! - Brother Chu!

Brother Chu fought Duan Yan Qing at the risk of his life.

I think he was prepared to die all along.

Wan Li, I failed to raise my daughter properly and let her offended others.

I feel so ashamed.

This man is such a weakling.

He went up against them and got killed for nothing.

He is such a big fool.

You are the reason he is dead.

If you hadn't insulted him...

All right.

You have never raised me all these years.

You saw me for the first time today and slapped me because of a fool!

Mother.

Mother!

Mother.

- It is all right. - He hit me!

It's all right. Does it hurt?

Yes!

You are protecting him?

If you want to kill me, go ahead and take my life.

Stop!

You and I will fight alone, no one else will be involved.

Is that so?

That is right.

Do you not wish to kill me first and then go to Dali to kill my brother?

My men and my family have nothing to do with this. This is between us.

Brother Chu,

I, Duan Zheng Chun, will fight the enemy with you today.

(Duan Zheng Chun.)

It is him.

The revenge of my parents, my adoptive parents,

my master,

and my injustice...

Your Highness!

Who are you?

Why interfere with us?

Boss, he is the former chief of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng.

So it is him.

Chivalrous and brave. He is really worthy of his reputation.

I have never offended you in any way.

Why do you want to ruin my plan?

You cannot kill this man.

Help Duan into the house!

Let's go, Your Highness.

Chief Qiao, I can't thank you enough.

Thank you, Chief Qiao.

No need.

I saved your Prince Duan out of my own self-interest.

Prince Duan, I will ask you this only once.

Please tell me the truth.

Have you ever done something wrong,

something that you are ashamed of,

that left a child orphaned?

Yes.

I have been haunted by this all my life,

and it makes me upset when I think about it.

However, it is a mistake that cannot be undone.

Heaven knows

and allowed me to see this child, who lost her parents, again.

I always feel sorry for her.

If you know that you have made a great mistake,

why do you

continue to do such evil things until now?

I have done all sorts of absurd things in my life.

I feel ashamed whenever I think about them.

He has always been like this.

I don't really blame him.

I will meet you at midnight tonight at the Qingshi Bridge near the intersection.

I have something important to discuss.

I am deeply grateful for your help.

I will be there on time.

You do not need to bring your men.

I will do as you wish.

Have some warm soup.

I know you are worried about my safety.

But you saw what happened today.

Duan Zheng Chun's skills are hardly enough to warrant concern.

Once I get my revenge tonight, we will...

leave Yanmen Pass to live a simple life

and never set foot in this place again.

I don't know

how many people I have killed with these hands.

You don't like me killing people?

I just feel a little sick all of a sudden.

You must have caught a cold from the long journey.

Wait here.

Here.

Brother Xiao.

Hug me tightly.

I really don't want to part with you.

Can we leave Yanmen Pass right away?

We can go hunting and herd livestock.

Can we deal with Duan Zheng Chun after a year?

Silly girl.

After tonight, we can leave Yanmen Pass without worries.

That Duan Zheng Chun doesn't know how to use the Six Pulse Excalibur now.

However, things may be different a year later.

We must go to Dali if we want to take revenge.

If I were alone,

even if the Duan clan was a tiger's den,

I would still go and get my revenge.

Life and death are not important to me.

However, I have you now.

I want to take care of you forever.

So it is not that I don't want to listen to you,

but things are really difficult.

I understand.

Brother Xiao.

I want to have a bowl of ginger soup.

I want to drink the ginger soup that you make.

All right. Wait here.

Madam.

Sir, you are very thoughtful and kind to your wife.

I am lucky to have met her.

She doesn't even mind that I've had a rough life.

This is nothing.

Your wife is blessed.

By the way, Madam, Here are some taels.

Here.

How can I accept these?

It is what you deserve. Here.

I will take them then.

Thank you, Sir.

Oh, right. I have to meet someone tonight.

But my wife is not feeling well.

Could you look after her for me again?

Of course.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Ginger soup is ready.

Brother Xiao.

I am an orphan.

I grew up without parents.

What did I do to deserve this?

I cherish every second

of every day that I spend with you.

Silly girl.

Aren't I an orphan too?

Here, I am even a Khitan that everybody hates.

It should have been a time of pain,

anger, and despair,

but with you,

I am not afraid of anything.

So what if I can't be the chief of Beggars' Sect?

So what if I can never set foot

in the martial arts world of the Central Plains again?

All this time, I've been thinking

about why my father jumped off a cliff over my mother's death.

But I have figured it out.

The world may be vast, but there are only a few

who love and care for you.

It is lucky to gain

and fate to lose.

(In order to get my revenge, )

(I was so impatient that I arrived early.)

(I used to be alone and had no attachments.)

(But tonight I have Zhu in my heart.)

(The rain is coming.)

(It is almost midnight.)

Chief Qiao, why have you asked to see me here?

Prince Duan.

Don't you know why I asked you to come here today?

It is about what happened outside the Yanmen Pass, isn't it?

Back then, I was tricked

into taking your mother's life.

And caused your father to kill himself.

That was a grave mistake I made.

Then why did you harm my adoptive father,

Qiao San Huai and his wife,

and my master, Reverend Xuan Ku?

I was just trying to cover it up.

But I got deeper and deeper into it.

Until I could no longer stop.

Fine.

Are you going to take your own life,

or do I have to do it?

If you had not helped me out today,

I would have died by the side of Xiao Jing Lake.

I could live another half day

all thanks to you.

If you want to take my life,

just do it.

How can a son or a student

not avenge the death of his parents and teacher?

You killed my parents,

my adoptive parents,

and my master.

There are five of them.

I will strike you five times.

After five strikes,

our feud will be settled.

One strike for one life.

Isn't this punishment a little light?

I appreciate your kindness.

Zhu!

Zhu!

How could this be?

How could it be you?

Brother Xiao.

I really want to be with you forever.

All right. All right.

We have found our enemy.

We can now take revenge.

I am truly...

very happy.

But while you need to take your revenge,

I have debts to repay as well.

Debts?

Zhu. What are you talking about?

Look at this.

This is... And on my shoulder.

Where did this come from?

I took it off her neck.

Back then, I made a mark on their left shoulders.

This is Zi.

She is your daughter.

Zi is your...

Our parents carved the word "Duan"

on our shoulders.

This lock charm... Zi's lock charm says,

"The bamboos by the lake

are green in color.

May you be safe

and happy in life."

My lock charm says,

"The stars twinkle in the sky.

Forever shining,

forever at peace."

I didn't know what it meant before,

but now I do.

My...

My mother's name is engraved on it.

My mother is Ruan Xing Zhu.

My father is Duan Zheng Chun.

She is my sister.

Duan Zheng Chun

is your father?

Yes.

Impossible.

Impossible.

He is my father.

I only just found out as well.

Zhu... Zhu...

We will talk more about this later.

I will heal you first.

I am afraid it's too late, Brother Xiao.

I asked you to make me ginger soup

so that I could pretend to be you

to tell my father

that the meeting at the Qingshi Bridge was off.

Let bygones be bygones.

Why? Why would you do this?

Dali has Six Pulse Excalibur.

Do you think they will let you go

if you killed him?

And we don't understand what is written on this Yijin Jing.

Yes.

I should have listened to you and let go of my hatred.

Zhu, let's not take revenge anymore, all right?

No more revenge.

We'll just leave.

No more revenge.

Brother...

You are so kind to me.

What are you going to do in the future

if you keep spoiling me like this?

I will spoil you even more.

Spoil you a hundred times more.

Spoil you a thousand times more.

Brother.

Promise me one thing.

Just name it.

I will promise you anything.

I only have one younger sister, Zi.

We didn't grow up together.

I am afraid she will go astray.

- All right. - I hope you can take care of her.

When you have recovered,

we will take her with us and leave Yanmen Pass.

We will ride horses, hunt,

and herd cattle and sheep,

just like you sang to me today.

Take good care of her,

and let her take good care of you.

We will...

herd cattle,

herd sheep...

It will be a beautiful sight...

Zhu...

Zhu!

Zhu!

(What should I write)

(on Zhu's tombstone?)

(Tomb of Lady Duan of the Xiao clan?)

(We were supposed to get married, )

(but she passed away before we wed, a pure and noble lady.)

(Is it appropriate)

(to call her my wife?)

(Mr. Ma's last letter was sealed with wax.)

And when Elder Xu opened it,

the wax seal was intact.

That means that no one else had read the contents before this.

Even two fists cannot win against four hands.

He is trying to divert the people's attention,

while waiting for aid to come.)

Watch out!

(Hans and Khitans.)

(Lies and truth.)

(Grudges and glory.)

(All turned to dust.)

(Actually, what is the difference between a Han and a Khitan?)

(Why don't we just leave the Yanmen Pass, )

(go hunting and herd livestock, )

(and forget all feuds?)

(Then come with me, and never regret. )

(No matter how painful and difficult it will be,)

(I will not regret it.)

(I want to be with you)

(forever and ever, for all eternity, )

(through thick and thin, )

(through hardship, humiliation, )

(danger, and suffering. )

(You always asked me not to drink too much.)

(Who is going to tell me)

(that from now on?)

(This is the last time)

(you and I will drink together.)

♪ My biggest fear ♪

♪ is that all my hard work will be in vain ♪

♪ I reached out my hand but grasped nothing ♪

♪ I thought it was a dream for two ♪

♪ But I was left alone in pain ♪

♪ I am afraid ♪

♪ this love won't last ♪

♪ I stood up and missed a step ♪

(You told me never to hurt myself.)

(I feel bad)

(because you cared for me till your last breath, )

(and yet I could not tell what was on your mind.)

Duan Zheng Chun!

I killed your daughter!

Come out!

Come out and kill me!

Duan Zheng Chun!

Come out!

(Eyes as starry as the stars. Body as slim as the bamboo.)

(Time doesn't seem to be passing whenever I'm with you.)

(Written by a drunk Duan Zheng Chun.)
