Original subtitles

It's not so bad this way.

After I'm dead,

at least you can find a good man that you like.

What good man?

Where else is a good man?

I only want you. It's fine if you don't marry me,

as long as you are well.

Didn't you want to know what illusion I conjured on Cang Qi?

What's the illusion?

An unforgettable night of romance.

How could you do that?

How else can I rein him in?

He thinks we're a couple,

that's why he agreed to wait a few days for me.

He'd love to tie you up and keep you with him.

Why would he let you leave?

Besides, you can't just...

You're exasperating!

- That's just a dream. - I can't permit a dream!

- It was his dream! - I don't care whose dream it was! No means no!

Young Master, are you jealous?

I've never seen such an exaggerated reaction from you.

I don't get jealous.

Any respectable gentleman would feel this way!

I'm a respectable lady too,

but for you,

I can forsake propriety for a bit.

Why won't you look at me?

There's sand in my eyes.

Come on.

I'll blow it out for you.

Your anger has dissipated, right?

How about I blow it out again?

Perhaps... your heart will waver from this.

Stop this.

Young Master,

life is brief, so why not treasure those right before you?

I kept my distance from you because I was afraid you'd uncover my secret.

Actually, you're always on my mind.

Even my dreams are filled with you.

Your heart used to ache when you thought about me.

That doesn't happen now.

Can't you be like me?

Express your thoughts frankly.

Are you serious?

I adore you.

With all my heart until death.

Are you sure this is what you want?

I never pull out of any decision I've made.

Young Master,

You look exceptionally radiant. Is the curse...

My hair turned black after a night.

What an unexpected effect from last night.

You don't disappoint as the king of all plants.

Look over there.

We'll leave from there and enter the waterway.

After that, we'll be able to reenter the valley.

Should I channel more spiritual energy to you?

There's no need.

Save it for yourself.

Follow close behind me later.

There might be undercurrents.

I can channel air to you even if we're underwater.

Save your energy. The valley is filled with enemies.

I'm gallant and robust!

Don't worry.

You're using that idiom wrongly.

Well, you're gallant and robust?

Why are you blushing? Am I still wrong?

Last night,

why did the hair on your head change colors?

You saw it?

Don't open your eyes next time!

Promise me this.

If you can't find a way to undo the curse,

don't be stubborn.

Keep yourself safe.

If I really can't find it,

I'll make you forget the past and your feelings for me.

This is the only way for the curse to stop.

A medicine to forget the past doesn't exist.

Rather than living in a daze,

I prefer to die with a clear mind.

At the very least, I'll be aware of who I am.

I'll remember our shared experiences,

and I'll remember the one and only woman I love.

I'd rather die than forget.

That shall be my greatest blessing in life.

Till death do us part.

I will never leave your side.

If I lose my memory again,

bite me a few times.

With such marks,

even a muddled me will have faint recollections.

There are treasures here!

Great!

What a windfall!

Wait for me here. I'll scout the area.

Do you have the Frozen Soul Pearl that I gave you?

Don't worry. I always carry it with me.

Come over here! There are more in this room!

That's a lot!

Take those! All of it!

Hurry up!

[Scripture of Materia Medica] Look at that!

Look, there are so many here!

This place is filled with gold ingots!

Look at that chest!

Hold on!

Wow, there's so much!

- I saw it first! - No, I saw it first!

- Don't move! - Stand still!

- It's mine! -Get up!

- I saw it first! - No, I saw it before you!

Screw you!

This is mine!

- Get lost! - You already have loads! Why are you taking more?

Where are the secret martial arts manuals?

- Stop snatching! - Get lost!

- What are you doing? - Let go!

I'd rather smash these to bits than hand them to you!

There are more over there!

Over there! There are more!

What are you staring at?

Are there secret martial arts techniques hidden in these paintings?

Of course not.

I just think that there is a secret passageway behind this wall.

A secret passageway?

Secret passageways?

If there's a secret passageway behind this,

the stuff inside are bound to be more valuable than everything out here.

The wall is hollow. There's definitely a secret passageway inside.

Come on, make way.

- I saw it first! - No, I saw it first!

Screw you!

- It's mine! - Let go!

- Hand it over! - Give it to me!

- Let go! - No, you let go!

- It's mine! - I saw it first!

Stop right there!

Don't take what's mine!

- It's mine! - What? Let go!

- It's mine! - I'll stomp on you if you don't let go!

Let's do this together.

Today,

not a single one of you will leave this place.

Demoness, your threats aren't working!

Even if you're a demon,

you're outnumbered by us.

I'm surprised you're alive with so many people hunting you down.

The King of Hell hasn't even claimed your life.

Why would he come for me first?

The rest of you as well!

You sure are having fun as bandits, pillaging and burning things!

By the way,

aren't you looking for this book of scripture?

- The scripture! - Why does she have it?

Why are you giving up before obtaining it?

If I'm truly a demoness,

how could I possibly strut about in broad daylight?

My martial arts are just a little outlandish.

That's because you've never seen martial arts in its supreme form.

So, you're making an unnecessary fuss.

Such outlandish powers

are the result of pushing the body to its limit.

The method

is written in this secret manual!

Anyone who obtains it

is capable of mastering such skills.

- Is she telling the truth? - Can anyone master it?

That's right! This secret manual

does come from Fenghua Valley.

I almost lost my life trying to get it.

I should thank all of you for your persistent pursuit.

You helped me gain Bai Yue's trust.

Tang Huan, don't you want to be the Alliance Lord?

I've retrieved the secret manual for you.

It's time to repay your debt to me.

So, you two are the real villains!

Brat, how dare you make us your pawns!

You aren't fit to be the Alliance Lord!

Don't listen to that demoness's nonsense!

She's trying to sow discord!

Don't you want that manual anymore?

Seems like you still covet it.

If you want it, make sure you hold on tight to it. Don't let it slip from your fingers again.

Stop your foolish games!

Are we invisible to you?

Brothers! Snatch over that secret manual!

After that, you can have as much wealth as you desire!

- Yes! - Hand it over!

Don't move!

Have you lost your wits?

This is the demoness's ploy! Don't fall for her tricks!

Fine, we'll trust you if you hand the scripture over!

We don't even know if this is real!

That demoness can steal things without a trace

before so many people.

How can that be fake if she has such powers?

You caused her ruin, but she still gave the scripture to you!

Has her brain been trampled over by a donkey?

No one will believe that you aren't accomplices!

- Hand it over! - Don't move!

You claim that you don't want it, but your actions are telling.

Folks, attack!

He won't burn it.

That's because he wants it more than anything!

He's incompetant.

His martial arts skills are shabby, but his ambitions are sky-high.

This secret manual is the only way for him to change his fate.

Ye Xi.

You're an utterly despicable demoness!

I knew it. You'd betray me again.

You've committed countless despicable deeds. Can't I do the same just once?

Don't think they'll spare you just because of this.

They'll still kill you to eradicate all threats.

They're free to hunt me down.

Only you don't have the right to do so.

- Big Brother! - Big Brother!

Big Brother!

- What's going on, Big Brother? - Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Big Brother! Big Brother!

It's poison. He died from poison.

There's something shady about that wall!

I felt unwell when we were breaking down the wall.

I reckon all of us have been poisoned.

- What's happening? - Guys, don't use your martial arts skills.

Otherwise, all of us will die here!

This is Fenghua Valley's poison trap.

Everyone, listen up!

We only have one way out of here!

Capture Demoness Ye Xi!

Force Bai Yue to hand over the antidote for our survival!

You were the ones who stormed the place and robbed it.

Now, you're playing the victim?

You deserve to die here!

You heard her!

Demoness Ye Xi is colluding with Bai Yue!

Even if all of us dies here,

we have to kill Demoness Ye Xi first!

If Fenghua Valley had such poison powder,

all of you would be in hell by now.

A poison that works upon touch

can only be Tang Sect's Five Poison Sand that was banned and destroyed.

No wonder you're joining forces with Five Poison Sect.

You must've convinced them to create the Five Poison Sand for you using unscrupulous means.

Five Poison Sect was desperately after our lives,

but they've been eliminated by the Black Armored Guards.

You didn't even have to lift a finger.

Yet, these folks who spent great effort

breaking open the doors to the underground palace for you

are being killed by your Five Poison Sand unknowingly.

Then, you plan to make Fenghua Valley your scapegoat.

You sure are the most cunning man in the history of Tang Sect.

In the future, everyone would fear Tang Sect.

I guess you'll dominate the martial arts world in a sense.

Trying to monopolize power? Are you even competent enough for that?

We've witnessed the powerful at each other's throats,

but I've never seen someone as inhumane as you!

We know Tang Sect specializes in poison, so we brought our own rations.

But we still ended up getting poisoned!

When did you poison us?

Probably when you eagerly broke open the doors to the underground palace!

Folks!

This is the entrance to the underground palace.

Make room!

Let's do it!

Once we leave this place, I'll inform the whole martial arts world!

I'll make sure a despicable rat like you never see the light of day!

Hand over the antidote!

Otherwise, we'll chop you into pieces!

- Give us the antidote! - Hand over the antidote!

- Give it to us! - Give us the antidote!

Give us the antidote!

Once you kill Demoness Ye Xi and Bai Yue,

I'll hand over the antidote.

Are you still going to trust him?

Five Poison Sand was banned and destroyed

because it doesn't have an antidote.

Anyone who has been poisoned

is doomed to die.

Fifth Brother!

Even if I die, I'll kill you first!

Fifth Brother!

You really have the antidote?

You saw what happened.

I have the antidote, but in limited amounts.

The one who succeeds in killing Demoness Ye Xi and Bai Yue

will receive the antidote.

Do we attack?

We'll die either way!

We can't beat them!

Leave Tang Huan to me.

- You can deal with the rest. - Be careful.

- Let's take the gamble! - We'll be digging our own graves.

Xiao Xi.

Will you really kill me?

I've made many mistakes.

I shouldn't have tricked and hurt you.

My desires got the better of me, but my love for you was true.

Xiao Xi.

I never belittled you.

You're just too remarkable,

so I felt insecure.

But I wanted to become stronger so I could be worthy of you.

I don't care

if you're really a demoness or not.

Even if you are,

I'll still love you.

You have to trust me.

Recall our wonderful moments together.

We were so close to being a married couple.

Stop struggling.

You've all been poisoned.

Take it.

Why do you have the antidote?

This isn't the antidote.

It can only repress the poison for a while.

People like you folks aren't worthy of dying in Fenghua Valley.

Don't look into his eyes!

Still trying to bewitch me?

Xiao Xi, I'm sorry.

I've erred horribly!

You have a kind heart, so please give me another chance.

I won't waste my kindness on you.

It's an eye for an eye right now.

The blood debt you owe me

can only be paid with your life.

Xiao Xi, I'm begging you! Please!

Even though our marriage wasn't realized,

you're still the one who knows me best.

My life was terrible.

I'm only doing this

to break free from my past.

I'm obsessed with being the strongest.

I'm a lunatic.

I'm a lunatic! A lunatic!

A gracious person like you should forgive a lunatic!

One moment, you're terrifying.

The next moment, you're pitiful.

You're even feigning madness to survive. What an actor.

How many masks do you have hidden up your sleeve?

Why do you seem like the real demon instead?

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Eliminate him right away.

Xiao Xi!

You can't do this to me!

You've done so much for me!

You even loved me!

Xiao Xi.

Aren't you being too brutal right now?

Tang Huan, you're wrong!

I never liked you!

Everything I did wasn't for you!

Moreover,

someone like you

shouldn't be pleading about brutality.

No, you can't kill me!

If you kill me,

the antidote will be lost, and they'll die!

Are you going to let all of them die?

You're about to die! Why bother about them?

If they turn into vengeful ghosts, they'll be after you anyway!

No, I can't die.

I can't die.

I can't die at the hand of a demoness!

I'd rather die than be tortured by a demoness!

No! I can't!

No.

The Scripture of Materia Medica?

There's no such thing!

It's just a storybook.

I forgot it's former title.

This one is "The Strange Fates of Wood and Rock", a gift from Xiaoxiao.

I didn't think my hobby would stir such a huge misunderstanding.

In fact, I told you the truth ages ago.

You just refused to believe me.

The first chapter of this book

is "The flower in the mirror and moon in the water are mere illusions".

"Life is but an ephemeral and passing dream".

It's perfect as your epitaph.

There aren't any shortcuts in this world.

Your limits can't be rewritten.

You stubbornly tried to snatch what didn't belong to you.

It's fine if you failed.

Yet, you murdered for wealth and committed grave sins.

With your current state,

you'll be dead soon without me doing anything.

Since you're so fond of this book,

I'll burn it as an offering to you once you're dead.

Is there no cure for these people?

Tang Huan probably fed him

something similar to anesthesia.

His pain was numbed temporarily.

I already said that Five Poison Sand doesn't have an antidote.

There is only one way

to cure them of the poison.

Reverse the meridian flow in the body and expunge the poison.

Just like how I expelled the poison from your body?

Five Poison Powder seeps into the entire body, making it even more lethal.

A forced discharge of the poison

requires the entire body's meridian flow to be reversed once.

Strong internal energy is required.

Moreover, the one conducting the recovery

might lose their martial arts skills.

Ye Xi,

you can't save them.

But I think...

you're even more eager to save them.

These people

have been punished for their deeds.

However, if I let them die

in Fenghua Valley,

that's against my medical ethics.

I've already given them medicine to temporarily repress the poison.

I'll think of a way

to purge the poison.

Stop the carriage!

Stop looking.

Even one glance feels toxic.

They should've been arrested ages ago,

but why is the imperial court interfering?

Apparently, Five Poison Sect has been pursuing Miss Ye.

They even injured Young Master Bai terribly.

Y-Young Master Bai is gravely injured?

Let's hurry up.

Worrying won't get us anywhere.

I can silently pray.

Who knows if we'll make it in time?

Don't spout nonsense! Young Master Bai will be fine!

I'm talking about arriving before that scumbag Tang Huan kicks the bucket!

Hurry up! Get moving!

Come on! Hurry!

Look.

I-Isn't this a double ginseng? Isn't it...

I know，

but an idea popped into my mind.

I think we can let them save themselves.

We'll get them to purge poison from each other.

If anyone refuses to give their all in helping another,

we'll let that person suffer the poison's effects.

I'll save those who really can't be saved by others.

This is a pretty good idea.

But even if all poison is expunged from the body,

the damage will still be severe.

A frail person won't be able to withstand it.

Their meridians will burst, and they'll die.

Well...

How about feeding me to them?

This way, their vitality can be preserved.

What are you saying?

I can't bear to let that happen.

I'm just joking.

I thought you'd brutally sacrifice me to uphold your medical ethics.

My real body is already missing a few parts.

I can't be chopped up any further.

I'm willing to sacrifice myself for you,

but I'm not noble enough to harm myself for others.

Besides, they dug their own graves.

We don't have to use the Nirvana Elixirs yet.

There is still time before the poison takes effect.

I'll try thinking of another solution.

Hold on, I'll help you over there to rest.

Ignore them. Your health is more important.

I can still hold out.

I'm warning you.

You can't hurt yourself to save others.

I'll only be in the mood to be kind if you're doing well.

Why are you in a daze?

You scared me!

Why are you guys here?

We were worried about you.

Did you get your revenge? Is my help still needed?

Look, my dad dispatched even more bodyguards for me.

If you need any help, you have to tell me.

By the way,

I discovered a book on the history of torture from the bookseller.

It records all forms of torture.

Should we try everything on Tang Huan?

You won't have a chance for that.

Tang Huan is dead.

He even died quite miserably.

That's great!

What about Young Master Bai? Is he all right?

He's fine. He's in the pharmacy.

Don't worry. As long as I'm around, I'll keep him safe.

It's just a pity that this paradisiacal Fenghua Valley

was trampled over by those scumbags.

Since you guys are here,

how about doing some work

and tidying up the place?

Uncle Hui and the rest are still at Moon River.

By the way, those people are still in the underground palace.

They've been poisoned by Tang Huan's Five Poison Sand.

This poison is quite a hassle.

Bai Yue is still trying to come up with an antidote.

They only have themselves to blame.

You should've tossed them out of the valley and left them to die.

You may just be wasting your efforts in saving them.

Who knows? They might turn against you again!

The benevolence of the miracle physician isn't something we can criticize.

In that case, we can use a special antidote.

An antidote that won't work on the duplicitous. Those can die.

Only those who have turned over a new leaf will be cured.

Why are we always on the same page?

As expected of my good friend.

All right, you two can enter the valley and help tidy up.

I'll join you in a while.

Let's get going.

If ginseng could still grow in this soil,

Bai Yue would be able to save everyone.

It's a pity there aren't any seeds at hand.

But plants can grow if I channel spiritual energy into the soil.
