Original subtitles

We seem to be the only two people left between heaven and earth.

Why aren't you awake yet?

It's all right if you don't wake up.

It's fine as long as you are by my side.

I'm still alive.

What is this nonsense?

I'm with you, and I'll make sure you'll live until 100.

Does your head still ache?

If you are fine, I'm fine.

Therefore,

why don't you take a bite? You will recover really fast.

If I take a bite from you,

what will happen to you?

Nothing much. I'll recover by tomorrow.

Have you already guessed? I'm indeed that Ginseng Fairy.

What are you worried about?

I don't want to bite into your flesh.

Don't move.

Didn't you say you couldn't feel my heartbeat?

That's because I don't have a heart.

So you don't need to treat me as if I were a mortal.

Just feel free to bite.

I guarantee

that I'll really be fine if you take a bite.

Then...

Then, what will happen to your real body?

There'll be a piece missing from my real body, but it's fine.

Before I met you,

I was buried in the Changliu Mountain

for 1,000 years to transform into a human form. You were the first person I met.

I went to the valley and saw you practice swordplay and read books.

I was the one who saved you in the ancient tomb.

I was really naive at that time.

I mean, I was too innocent and kind.

I was afraid that you'd die of injuries.

So I gave you a half of a rootlet.

It's because I lost this half of a rootlet

that I lost my memory.

My hair are transformed from the rootlets.

That's why whenever you are injured, my head would ache.

The rootlets have a restorative effect.

But after all, you only have a half rootlet.

You are injured too severely this time.

Those pursuers are still hunting us down.

If you don't take a bite from me,

you won't be able to recover fast.

Oh yes.

- What about your previous resurrection? - Since I don't have a heart,

my breathing and pulse only temporarily stopped.

To me, that's not a real death.

It's like hibernation.

My real physical body is the king of herbs, and it has a very strong vitality.

No matter how severely I'm injured, I can revive again.

All right then. You should have no more doubt now.

Just take a bite!

What about those injuries you suffered at Tang Sect?

You are a miracle physician, so you should know the contraindications for ginseng.

That time, I mistakenly ate hellebore.

That soup was meant for Tang Huan to induce vomiting.

I was too careful and insisted on drinking the same soup.

That's why I suffered a backlash and lost my spirit power and even turn ugly.

Forget that.

Let's not waste time. Hurry and bite.

Here.

But...

A ginseng will look ugly with a chunk of it missing.

Remember where we are.

You should worry about your own life right now

instead of whether my real body will look ugly.

Both are them are

equally important to me.

When I take a bite, you will feel the pain.

If a chunk is missing from you, I'll feel bad.

But, if you don't take a bite from me,

I alone won't be able to deal with those pursuers once they get here.

WIthout me draggine you down,

you can run away faster.

You haven't been to the western region, have you?

If you want, you should visit there.

The western region has beautify scenery,

many delicious foods,

and, most importantly, no one will know you there.

No one will pursue you to kill you.

Besides,

you can find your perfect partner there.

I don't know the way.

I want you to take me there.

Together we can go anywhere.

You traversed north and south previously for many years.

You don't know the way? All the flowers and plants will show you the way.

What are you doing by talking all this now?

Are you entrusting your last will?

If you would simply take a bite, we can both live and live well.

You still haven't told me you love me.

I absolutely won't take a bite from you.

Don't hurt yourself for me.

Actually...

I told you to bite, but you won't. I'm forced to do it myself.

Don't you know it hurts more when I bite myself?

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

- Bai Yue! - Here I am.

Where did you go?

Why did you disappear without a word?

Have you recovered? I was scared out of my wits.

What's this you, you, you again.

I already said, call me Young Master.

Didn't you say to only take one bite?

How many bites did you give me?

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't even stop my nose from bleeding.

I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I bit a few extra bites.

Don't worry. My flesh is good.

Don't worry, I'll recover tomorrow. I bit down a little hard.

You look like you've beeen chewed by a rat.

Quite a few chunks are missing. It will look ugly.

Don't say that anymore.

It's not visible to people normally. Just pretend that you don't know.

Actually, you didn't need to do this for me.

I know you are afraid that I would be hurt.

It's fine.

Just talk nicely to me, and I'll feel better.

Such as...

when did you start liking me?

Like? This word is too superficial.

I can't say it.

It's all right.

Anyway, I'm already used to your not saying what's in your heart.

Just say nothing then.

You've already eaten my flesh anyway.

That makes us merged into one, and we'll never be separated again.

I'm running away with a fugitive, of course we'll stick together.

However, I have a question.

After eating your flesh, can I live forever?

Maybe if you eat all of me,

I still wouldn't know if you'll live forever.

But I'm pretty sure you won't if you eat only a little bit.

Jut a little bit?

You are quite generous.

You give it away on a whim.

Then, I want a reward.

We're under broad daylight, restrain yourself.

Do you mean

I can go wild once the lights are out?

If I had known, I should have kissed you a few more times when you were unconscious.

Ye Xi.

I'm simply astounded by Young Master's beauty.

Young Master, you are usually aloof and domineering.

When you are suddenly sickly and pitiful, I can't control myself.

Have you forgotten?

There are pursuers hunting us down.

You are already fully recovered.

With the two of us we should be able to handle them.

Where are we going now?

We'll look for Uncle Hui.

Sure!

Are Uncle Hui and the others all right?

They sneaked way from under the hot spring.

This is a mark left by Unicle Hui.

They should be on their way to Moon River.

That is the Bai family clan's land.

They should be recuperating and taking temporary refuge there.

Why don't we also go to Moon River?

It sounds so beautiful.

Don't you feel that we're more like eloping

than running for our lives?

It does seem like it.

There's a tea stand there. Let's go take a rest.

- All right. - Go.

Are you two tired? Take a seat. What would you like to drink?

- Premium Jasmin tea. - Sure. Just a moment, please.

How is it? Feel much better now?

I'm very confident in my abilities.

I guarantee a mortal like you will feel totally refreshed.

A mortal will grow old and die eventually. It's unavoidable.

That will be after 100 years.

Compared to death, I think getting senile is more scary.

After many years, your appearance won't change.

But by then, my handsome looks would have faded away already.

I would rather die instead of being that way.

You are so hopelessly narcissistic.

That's why I can't do hard work in order to preserve my health.

I'd have to trouble you to hard worker.

Don't gaze at me like that.

When you risked your life for those men,

it cost you painstaking effort. I'm not asking you to do much.

You just need to work a little harder.

I thought you didn't mind it at all.

Turns out you are so petty.

Your tea is ready.

Shopkeeper, I remember the previous shopkeer was an old man.

He recenty went away on a trip. I've been here lately.

Enjoy the tea.

Go!

Demoness, today is the day you die!

Hurry and hand over the Scripture of Materia Medica!

The whole world knows you are

undeniably a demoness.

That's why you can repeatedly live after death.

The Changliu Mountain is filled with people who want your head.

The two of you won't be able to escape even if you had wings.

Should I call you Young Master Bai or Valley Master Bai?

You are asking for death when you partner with the demoness.

Better to hand over the scripture now,

and we'll let you die quickly.

In that case,

I'll let you see what a real demoness looks like.

Stop!

Surround them!

Even the imperial court is after the demoness' head.

This is too much. Haven't you heard of first come first serve?

I guess Can Qi will be here soon.

He has had people watching Fenghua Valley.

It's impossible that he doesn't know about such huge ruckus.

Are you saying he also wants my head?

He wants you. Any head that he wants would be mine.

He is insane.

Let's get out of here before he shows up.

Ye Xi.

I ate so much of your flesh,

how are you doing?

Didn't we agree not to talk about this anymore?

I'm afraid that I can't digest it all.

Have you heard the saying that poor physical condition cannot absort highly nutritional supplements?

Sometimes, too many supplents

will actually take lives than saving lives.

Don't worry.

I'm here, and I'll definitely safeguard you to be safe and sound.

From now on, you don't need to fight. I'll protecct you.

When you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll do as you wish.

I will be virtuous and gentle.

I won't ever talk back at you to upset you.

I hope you'll recover very soon.

There are still many things that we haven't done,

and many places we haven't visited.

Yeah.

We have so much in the past,

but we'll have more in the future.

Actually, what Uncle Hui said is true.

Perhaps he understood my feelings for you

a lot earlier than I knew.

But you know it too.

Someone as prideful as I am won't easily admit it.

I thought I could restrain myself.

- Are you restraining myself now? - No.

Who was the one that disregarded everything in order to save me?

He cared about what I eat and how I slept.

He even played the flute on the rooftop for me.

You didn't sweet talk and even scolded me frequently.

You appeared to greatly dislike me.

Even though you aren't the perfect partner that I imagined,

but it's fine.

What's important is

that you love me.

That's why you must change.

If you need to say something, just say it. Don't suppress it.

All right.

But you should change too. Be a little more restrained.

A young lady shouldn't be so wild.

We've already missed out so much time.

Going forward, I don't want to waste

any minute and any second.

I used to dream of having a home

because I was too alone and wanted a companion.

But now I've finally understood,

not anyone can be my family.

Only you

can let me feel what it's like to be loved.

Therefore, promise me you'll get well.

As long as you recover,

I'll do anything you ask.

If you really want to save me now,

there is one method.

Look.

There is a cliff after this forest.

The Heavenly Bestowed Grass grows by the mountainside. (aka Rhodiola Rosea)

It's effective on me.

What is this herb that would be more effective than I am?

My congenital ailment needs to be treated with the right medicine.

In this aspect, the Heavenly Bestowed Grass works better than ginseng.

I already drew this plant here.

Take the drawing to find it.

Be sure not to get the wrong one.

You'll recover once this is found?

- Yes. - Good.

I'll go look for it right now. Wait for me. I'll definitely find it.

Ye Xi,

I know you are powerful.

Be careful. Don't rush.

Come back soon.

I want to eat your roast pheasant.

Heavenly Bestowed Grass... Heavenly Bestowed Grass?

Does it have something to do with gods and spirits?

This isn't right.

I am the king of herbs. How can it be more powerful than I am?

Life passes by like a flash of lightning.

The drawing is for missing a date with a beauty.

What does it mean?

How can he write a poem at this time? Can he talk like a regular human?

He gave me a drawing.

He told me to go by myself.

Bai Yue, you are a jerk!

If I want to go somewhere, is there anywhere I can't go in this world?

So weird that he wants me to find this heavenly grass.

He actually wants to abandon me.

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue, come out!

I know you are inside.

Why are you abandoning me?

Bai Yue!

Bai Yue,

I'm telling you.

Don't dream of running way from me.

No matter where you hide, I will find you.

You won't ever get a chance to disappoint me in this whole lifetime.

Looks like you understand that poem.

It's not that easy to see each other in the next life.

Now that I've committed to you, I won't give up.

No matter what unspeakable secret you have,

or how sickly you'll become, I won't mind at all.

It's fine as long as you stay alive.

Besides,

I have such strong power,

how can I not keep a mortal like you alive?

Actually, I immediately wanted to stop you at that time.

You don't need to lose parts of your real body for me.

You can't save me.

It's unavoidable.

Impossible.

I dont' believe it.

Are you hiding something from me? Tell me!

Listen...

Listen well.

You guessed it right.

The Fenghua Valley Master is, in fact, the tomb keeper.

Fenghua Valley is a mausoleum

built by the first valley master as the joint tomb for him and his beloved woman.

It is said that young woman

was fickle amd left him.

So he

sealed the tomb where the jade coffin was placed

and banned entry from then on.

He built Fenghua Valley around it

to collect countless treasures and

rare medical and martial arts books.

He also demanded the successive valley masters to guard the tomb for life.

They could enjoy all the treasures in the valley,

but they could not fall in love with anyone.

Otherwise, they would be cursed and die of heart exhaustion.

This rule

has been verbally passed down through each valley master for generations. Even Uncle Hui doesn't know.

I used to think

I would never fall in love.

But love came unexpectedly and made me fall deeply.

Ye Xi,

meeting you

has made me very happy.

Heart exhaustion?

It hurts when I fall in love.

It hurts even more when I fall more deeply in love.

But I don't hurt anymore.

I think I'm dying.

From inside the heart

to my skin,

this curse is extremely tormenting.

When did this curse get activated?

When I saw you climb out of the unmarked burial mounds,

I was pleasantly surprised, but it was also the first time

that I felt an unprecedented heartache.

I pretended to be mean on purpose.

But the more I covered it up,

the more my feelings grew, and the heart ached even more.

Love can take one's life.

Who would willingly give up his life for this?

But if humans

could control their feelings,

there wouldn't be so many people who are hindred by love.

After thinking more about it, I decided to give up struggling against it.

If I had to die, I would just die.

I didn't want you to go to Tang Sect.

Moreover, I didn't want you to marry another person.

I wanted to stop you.

But I could feel

my heartache was getting worse every day.

Apparently the curse was becoming more ferocious.

I could only watch you leave,

because I knew you yearned for someone to grow old with.

as I was unable to give you any promise,

how was I qualified to stop you?

After you left,

I desperately searched for a solution to the curse.

I checked all the medical books,

tried all kinds of medications, but it was useless.

As you can see now,

I don't have much time left.

Ye Xi,

this is a curse.

It's not an injury.

You really can't save me.

Don't do anything silly anymore.

Listen well.

I'll say this only once in my life.

I love you.

I'll die without regrets.

You'd better not love me anymore.

Why are you using your life to exchange for it?

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

It's fine.

Don't worry.

I was too anxious when I came out.

You must always stay by my side.

No matter how powerful I am, I can't live without you.

You won't die. I won't allow it.

Even if someone is here to stop me,

I'll just kill them.

If a god comes here to stop me,

I'll just kill that god.

If this is heaven's will, I will change it.

If it's a curse, I will break it.

Fly up to heaven or dive down into ground,

regardless of any obstacles from people or gods,

I will never give up.

Young Master, I know you can't stand the sun.

I am curious.

If you can conjure magic anytime,

you must be able to turn a rock into gold.

If I can really turn a rock into gold,

when I first went to Bailu City,

why didn't I know anything about money?

You didn't even want to pay for a bowl of noodles for me.

My skills are illusions. They fool people.

I can't use them randomly.

It's good that you have this insight.

But I have to remind you.

It wasn't one bowl. To count accurately, there were six bowls.

Did you let me go to the city to nurture my body?

You even bought a vailed hat for me.

Were you afraid that I have many enemies who would recognize me

and I'd be slaughtered?

If I had told you right then,

would you have listened to me?

If you could talk nicely,

I think I would have love you much sooner.

But we would have lost a lot of fun from our arguments.

I indeed didn't know how to speak well at that time.

So you have poor eyesight,

and I have a bad mouth.

Aren't we quite the perfect match?

That's not right. Look at us.

When you had white hair, I had black hair.

I have white hair now,

but you have black hair.

Does this mean that we won't grow old together?

- I don't even have the strength- - Bai Yue.

It isn't important if we can grow old togher.

If you had to die tomorrow,

I would still want to be with you.

Here's my word.

I don't care what kind of curse it is,

I'm not afraid. Why are you afraid?

I'm not afraid of the curse.

I'm afraid that if I die,

you would be sad.

Don't worry about whether I'll be sad.

As long as you can stay with me,

even if it's one day of happiness, I'd gladly exchange my whole lifetime for it.

He is coming.

You can't use your martial arts skill now.

I can use my power to conceal both of us.

Don't use your power randomly anymore.

I know a way.

Sooner or later we have to face them.

What is this way?

In a while, don't get impulsive no matter what happens.

- Help me get up. - All right.
