(Shiyi, 'witch') [T/N: 'shiyi' means 'eleven']

Once I've drunk my fill,

I'll slaughter them all!

Blood slave.

Now that I have your blood,

there is nothing I fear.

I'm pleased for you, Mistress.

(Yiling, blood slave) [T/N: 'yi' means 'one' and 'ling' means 'zero']

Why?

I'm the person you care for most in the world.

You stopped being her long ago.

I'm sorry.

I'll seal you away in the unmelting ice.

(200 years later...)

Who am I?

(Qi Tianlin, Young Master of Wuying Valley)

You members of Shuangji Hall are truly shameless!

You poisoned my father before his duel with you,

and now you've ambushed me.

Are you afraid that once I've been healed by the doctor at Busi Lodge,

I'll wrest the leadership of the jianghu away from you?

Kill him!

I'm hungry.

He has an ally!

Take care of her.

Die!

Who is she?

Her martial skills are powerful and mysterious.

I'm grateful for your assistance, miss.

Kill him.

Miss?

What a wonderful fragrance.

Who's there?

Who's there?

(Half an hour ago)

I'm hungry.

Roast chicken, roast chicken, roast chicken!

Chicken, you smell so good!

With a skewer through your left butt...

(Lingzhi, of Busi Lodge)

A roast chicken that's truly worthy of my skills.

I'll take it to Shifu.

Shifu!

Have some roast chicken!

You can leave it there.

I'll have it after I've changed my clothes.

Ah!

Who's there?

Who's there?

Where did you come from, chicken thief?

Hand over that chicken right now!

Hey.

Hurry!

Or I might be forced to hurt you.

Kill her.

Why are you just standing there?

Do you want to die?

Watch out!

(Hua Yutang, of Busi Lodge)

Lingzhi,

poison her.

Lingzhi,

poison her.

Huh? Yes!

Who...

are...

you...

What did she say?

She scared me to death!

Shifu,

what kind of magic does this witch know?

She can actually turn snow into ice!

It's so bizarre.

Shifu, didn't you want to poison her?

That was a joke.

Huh?

Qi Tianlin of Wuying Valley

begs an audience with Master Hua!

Is this the one they call

'he whose sword is swift as the autumn winds',

'he who sails alone through chill wind and water',

that Qi Tianlin?

Lingzhi.

Huh?

Pick him up and take him inside.

As for her...

there's something strange.

Bring her to my room.

I'll examine her closely.

Bring her to your room?

You want to examine her closely?

Ah.

Yes! I understand, Shifu.

I'll do it right now.

You...

know me?

No.

Have you really forgotten?

There's a force within your body that doesn't belong to you.

It places great stress on your heart,

and has caused your qi to travel in reverse,

sending a shock to your brain.

You should refrain from using your powers unless necessary.

Or sooner or later, you'll die of a qi implosion.

Do you really not know me?

Why is it that when I look at you,

my heart hurts a little?

I don't know you.

I simply have an interest in unusual diseases.

Then will you start treating my illness from today, Shifu?

Don't call someone 'shifu' so lightly.

But everyone else calls you Shifu.

My name is Hua Yutang.

My name is—

...what is my name?

We can call you Shiyi.

Hua Yutang,

will you cure Shiyi?

Zhuang Wuji, the Master of Shuangji Hall,

has come to call on Master Hua.

Hua Yutang,

will you cure Shiyi?

Zhuang Wuji, the Master of Shuangji Hall,

has come to call on Master Hua.

That notorious old man?

He must be up to no good.

They're here for me.

Let me handle it.

'Handle'? In your current state? Are you trying to get yourself killed?

This conflict arose because of me,

so I should be the one to deal with it.

At least you have some sense of responsibility.

Swallow this.

Or else you're dead.

Busi Lodge is shut today.

Please depart, Master Zhuang.

(Zhuang Wuji, Master of Shuangji Hall)

And what if I insist on seeing Master Hua? (Zhuang Wuji, Master of Shuangji Hall)

You must think very highly of yourself, Master Zhuang.

From this day forward,

Qi Tianlin is a patient of Busi Lodge.

Lingzhi.

See our visitors out.

Yes!

That blow could have shattered even the largest rock into powder.

Yet Master Hua is completely unharmed.

To think that threat like her exists in the jianghu!

My shifu has decided to be compassionate today,

otherwise you'd be dead!

Is that so?

As far as I can see,

the esteemed Busi Lodge is nowhere as impressive as its reputation makes it out to be.

Of course no one can measure up to you!

You killed your brother, imprisoned your father, and clawed your way to the leadership of the jianghu from lowly origins.

That's what you call impressive, is it?

How interesting, Master Zhuang.

Busi Lodge is surrounded by poisonous fumes.

Most try not to come near it,

yet here you are, refusing to leave.

The antidote.

The disciples of Busi Lodge have dwelt in seclusion for generations.

We have no wish to make enemies of anyone.

But if you insist on your current course of action, Master Zhuang,

I'm willing to make an exception.

How long will it take you to cure him, Master Hua?

Three months.

We will meet again.

Hua Yutang...

what an interesting person you are.

Many years ago,

my late mother received a boon from the old Master of Wuying Valley.

Once I heal you, that debt will be repaid.

Thank you, Master Hua.

Shifu,

have you finished examining that witch?

Can I kick her out now?

I have accepted her as a patient.

You should get a room ready for each of them.

Shifu!

Is the Master of Busi Lodge no longer the cool and aloof Hua Yutang I know?

Bring her some of my old clothes.

What she's wearing now...

(subtext: is too revealing) isn't warm enough.

Cure me!

Don't stand so close to me.

We'll have breakfast first.

'Breakfast'?

Shifu!

Good morning, Master Hua.

Good morning.

Please have a seat, Shifu.

Shifu, taste these fresh bamboo shoots!

Doesn't it smell good?

You should eat more of this too.

Shifu, I want some more!

I don't want yours!

I want Shifu to give me food.

Eat properly.

Oh.

Don't you know how to use chopsticks?

You're so unhygienic!

Lingzhi, don't be rude.

Oh.

She's just putting on an act!

You can learn slowly.

There's no hurry.

I'm done eating.

Young Master Qi.

Give me your hand.

I'm grateful, Master Hua.

I'll prescribe you a remedy.

Take it every day as instructed.

Once your current qi injury is healed,

I'll deal with the matter of your congenital qi blockage.

Mm.

That witch must have enthralled Shifu with her sinister magic.

I need to kick her out!

Enjoy, young masters!

(Two hours ago)

I'm going out to take care of a few matters.

If there's anything you don't know, just ask Lingzhi.

Lingzhi.

Oh.

Finally I have you in my clutches.

Hey, new girl.

Come with me. I have something to do.

At your service.

Still putting on an act!

I'll take us somewhere fun,

then I'll dump you there after I'm done.

You'll be washing dishes for at least six months to work off the debt!

Hey, which is the most expensive place around here?

Zuisheng House, of course!

Oh.

Please come again, young master!

Come in and stay for a while, young masters!

What are your most expensive offerings?

Oh, a pair of generous dupes!

Of course the prettiest ones are the most expensive!

Come with me!

Enjoy, young masters!

Miss Lingzhi, exactly what did we come here for?

What are you panicking about?

I don't why,

but I'm feeling quite happy.

What handsome gentlemen you both are!

Let's have some fun.

What excellent wine!

Of course it is!

This is our house specialty, Forget-Your-Worries!

For each bottle you buy, you can get another one free!

Would you like a few more bottles, Your Excellency?

Bring them all in!

That feels so good.

Have a cup of wine, young master.

(Busi Lodge)

Shiyi, you're a guest here, so you should respect their customs.

Mm!

I'm respecting local customs!

Excellent.

They're enjoying themselves.

Come on!

Cheers!

Keep on dancing!

Where are these two rich young ladies from?

Busi Lodge.

Go there.

Tell them what's going on,

and demand a hefty sum to keep it quiet.

Or else

these two young ladies' reputations will be completely destroyed.

What if Busi Lodge refuses to pay up?

If you have money, we'll treat you like a lord.

If you don't, you're no better than a maidservant.

Unless they pay up, these two lovely young ladies

will have to stay at Zuisheng House,

and work off their debt to me!

Young master, won't you feed me some wine?

Wine!

Delicious.

A monster!

Run!

I've finally got you, you witch!

I'm from up there!

I know now.

You're a spider demon.

I'll crush you, see if I don't!

No fighting.

Let's... drink...

Not drinking.

I'm going to make a run for it.

Master Hua,

take a look and see if they're from your household.

Yes.

Well then!

They had four girls and ten bottles of Forget-Your-Worries.

That adds up to three hundred taels!

If you dare say a single word about what happened here today,

you won't be able to keep your business open.

That won't be a problem!

I'm so happy!

The outside world is so much fun.

Shiyi: Thanks for taking me out today, Lingzhi!

Lingzhi: That annoying witch. Shiyi: Thanks for taking me out today, Lingzhi!

Why is she still talking? Lingzhi: That annoying witch.

Why is she still talking?

Shouldn't she be washing dishes?

What dishes?

I'll go fetch the dishwasher.

Who's yanking me?

Is it Hua Yutang?

If not, I'll have to kill you.

It's me,

Hua Yutang.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

I have a home now!

Let's go home!

Hua Yutang,

turn off the lights!

Drink with me.

Liu Xu,

why are you wearing so many clothes?

Take them off for me!

Who is Liu Xu?

The star courtesan at Zuisheng House!

Who's there?

Shifu, this punishment has been going on for six hours.

I understand what I did wrong.

What's the matter with Miss Shiyi?

She's a witch!

Not only can she turn snow into ice,

she can even teleport!

Why did you take her in, Shifu?

She's not a witch.

Lingzhi, has it never occurred to you that there might be another possibility?

She's a goddess.

How is that possible?

Shh.

Heaven works in mysterious ways.

Do you understand?

Her powers have been thrown out of kilter by her arrival in the mortal realm, that's all.

I will heal her.

She will be all right.

Kneel.

Master Zhuang,

this man was wounded by the Heiji Sabre some days ago.

We've tried every single remedy.

Yet his wound shows no sign of healing,

and all his qi has been drained.

He might not survive the night.

Where is the sabre?

Time is of the essence.

Once the workers in the smithing village are done forging this batch of weapons...

well, you know what to do.

Understood, Master Zhuang.

Zhuang Wuji!

You've used despicable methods to claim domination over the jianghu!

You will die a horrible death!

I wonder how the woman at Busi Lodge is faring

after being struck by that arrowhead made out of meteorite iron?

(Last night)

Who's there?

Meteorite iron...

Is it coincidence? Or was it deliberate?

Shiyi, open your mouth.

Drink this medicine.

Focus your energies.

Why hasn't Shifu come out yet?

Shifu, you used your blood?

Shh.

Shifu, who exactly is she?

I won't believe any of that balderdash about her being from Heaven!

Shifu, why are you saving that witch's life?

I don't know why I'm saving her either.

But I have to.

What do you mean by that, Shifu?

I don't understand.

She is the most special person in my life.

You knew each other before?

Yes.

Shifu, you've watched me grow up.

I've always known you were different from everyone else.

Your appearance hasn't changed the least bit since I was a child.

I've never wanted to ask you any questions about that.

I just want to stay with you forever.

It's just a few drops of blood.

It will be fine.

Shifu, that's what you say every time!

Every time someone comes here with a rare or complicated disease,

you heal them with your blood.

And every time you do that, it leaves you so terribly weak!

Don't you know how much it worries me to see you like this?

Time for your medicine.

What's the matter?

I'm not happy!

I can't figure out why my shifu insists on saving that witch's life.

Isn't she a goddess?

How could she be a goddess?

My shifu's the goddess!

Master Hua must have her reasons.

How would you know?

You should know that too.

Busi Lodge has always held itself apart from worldly conflicts.

But the stories say

for generations, all the Masters of Busi Lodge have had a righteous nature,

and have acted according to the dictates of justice.

The fact that Master Hua is willing to help me bears that out.

At least you know what's what.

Here, have some tea.

Don't be unhappy anymore.

Stop!

What a pretty girl.

Why don't you keep us company?

Curves in all the right places.

What a tasty little morsel!

Please, good sirs,

let my daughter be.

Get lost!

Father!

Please!

Who are they?

Why are they hitting that man?

What are you looking at?

I'm sure none of you want to interfere with the affairs of Shuangji Hall!

We've been in seclusion for a month,

and this what we run into the first time we finally leave Busi Lodge?

Shifu, let's do something about it!

Come here, girl!

You can't hide from me!

Who do you fools from Shuangji Hall think you are?

I've had enough!

Who are you, you mangy cur?

I'm the person who's going to beat you into the ground!

They're fighting!

You bastards.

Yield!

You just wait and see!

You little brat!

You have the nerve to attack us when you've got three women with you?

When I come back for you,

I'm going to make all three of them my concubines.

I'm going to kill both of you bastards!

Shifu, they brought it on themselves with their bluster.

We weren't trying to start any trouble.

Mm.

I was very angry.

Hua Yutang, it was wrong of me.

They are the ones who beat up our comrade!

Give us your name!

Hua Yutang of Busi Lodge.

Let's go.

Curves in all the right places.

What a tasty little morsel!

I'm going to kill both of you bastards!

They're fighting!

Hold out your hand.

I did wrong!

I disobeyed my shifu,

and rushed into a fight without thinking.

I disobeyed my doctor's orders.

I deserve to be caned.

I disobeyed Hua Yutang.

I deserve to be caned.

Shifu, you're playing favourites!

Why aren't you caning her?

I did.

Just not as heavily.

She's my patient, after all.

I'm your patient too!

All right. You can stand up straight.

You disobeyed my orders, so I've meted out a small punishment.

But you were right to do what you did.

The sect leader of Xiaoxiang Pavilion begs an audience with Master Hua!

Open the gate.

Go and see what's happening.

Mm!

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader!

Master Hua.

Master Hua,

please save our sect leader's life!

He refused to submit to Shuangji Hall,

so Zhuang Wuji gave him a cut on the wrist.

We never imagined...

We never imagined...

What a strange wound.

An otherworldly demoness descended from the skies,

covered in silver markings.

She brought calamity to the world.

Through a Heaven-forged weapon,

the demoness was vanquished!

It's too late.

Condolences.

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader!

Sect Leader...

What was Sect Leader Zhao poisoned by?

He wasn't poisoned.

Ah, no. He must have been poisoned.

Rumour has it that Zhuang Wuji acquired a powerful sabre that had been lost for many years.

Those who refused to submit to Shuangji Hall were forced to duel him.

All of them perished after receiving wounds from this sabre.

This sabre of Zhuang Wuji's.

Is it completely black from hilt to tip?

Yes.

How did you know, Master Hua?

Meteorite iron is, so far,

the only thing in this world that can truly harm me and Shiyi.

But I destroyed all records of the technique for forging it long ago.

Did the workers at the smithing village make secret copies of the technique?

Shifu!

Shifu!

There are records of this in the ancient histories.

A strange metal from the heavens

that can kill in mysterious ways.

But this type of metal is extraordinarily difficult to forge.

How did they acquire it?

It's the smithing village!

The families there have made their living as blacksmiths for generations.

The stories say they once forged a dagger

which was used to kill a demon from another world.

What demon?

The founder of our sect

recorded this in the writings he left behind:

An otherworldly demoness descended from the skies,

covered in silver markings.

She brought calamity to the world.

Through a Heaven-forged weapon,

the demoness was vanquished!

The stories say this weapon was forged by the workers of the smithing village.

The smithing village has now been completely surrounded by fighters from Shuangji Hall!

I understand.

You should take Sect Leader Zhao's body back

and make arrangements for his funeral.

Yes.

Lingzhi, go to the smithing village with me.

Shifu, are we really going to intervene?

We're just going to see what's happening.

Master Hua, I'll come with you.

It's been a long time since you were last on the road.

I can advise you on the latest jianghu happenings.

But you haven't recovered fully from your injuries.

If anything happens, don't try to play hero.

Mm.

I'll come too!

No.

But why?

No reason!

If you dare to disobey me,

I'll throw you out of Busi Lodge straight away.

Please.

Save them!

Kill them.

Master Hua, I'll draw them away.

You haven't recovered fully yet.

Don't act tough.

Watch me!

Master Hua, we'll rendezvous in Qingxiang Forest.

I have a question.

Which way to the tavern?

This is Shuangji Hall territory.

You'd better step aside!

What do you mean by that?

I was just asking for directions.

Why are you being so aggressive?

You'd better learn some manners!

What are you doing?

Hurry up!

This is the last batch.

Stop dawdling.

Tell me what happened here.

Help me, my saviour!

My whole family has been locked up.

He—

Please.

Save them!

I... I'm sorry.

They made me do this!

Poison on the blade!

From the legendary seven-starred begonia.

Kill them.

Wait!

I was just asking for directions.

You don't have to go that far.

The members of Shuangji Hall are indiscriminate killers.

We'd better watch out.

Then I don't have any qualms.

One of Busi Lodge's teachings:

Fighting's too slow,

poison's quicker.

Let's go!

And she keeps calling someone else a witch?

Help...

Please.

Save them!

I... I'm sorry.

They made me do this!

Poison on the blade!

From the legendary seven-starred begonia.

You... what are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

No using your powers anymore.

Let's leave.

Mm!

Hurry up!

You, report this to the elder.

You, come with me. After them!

Quick, after them!

Don't let them get away!

Hua Yutang!

Hua Yutang!

Keep up!

I'm going to kill you all!

Kill Hua Yutang,

and Master Zhuang will reward you well!

Attack!

A monster!

Run!

Hurry!

Kill...

Kill...

Hua Yutang!

Cold...

So cold...

Silly.

Go and start a fire.

I will.

Wait for me.

Are you still cold?

Hua Yutang!

Hua Yutang?

Poison!

Shifu!

Shifu, you're hurt!

I'm all right.

How are things at the smithing village?

It wasn't easy, but we managed to free all the villagers.

But they told us that

they'd forged at least ten such weapons over the last six months

and sent them to Shuangji Hall.

Shuangji Hall...

what could they be planning to do?

Zhuang Wuji's grasp on the leadership of the jianghu is very shaky.

He is a superb martial artist,

but he's also treacherous and cruel.

Many sects are becoming mutinous.

Given his nature,

he's likely to unleash a bloodbath throughout the jianghu.

Who cares!

My shifu is injured!

None of this has anything to do with us, with Busi Lodge!

You're right, Miss Lingzhi.

I fear a storm is coming, no matter how much we might wish otherwise.

Let's return to Busi Lodge.

Shiyi, it's time to go.

Shiyi!

Shiyi!

Kill...

One hundred men.

And I killed them all.

What do you think, blood slave?

Isn't that impressive?

You're injured.

I don't know what kind of weapon they used.

It's actually capable of wounding me.

Shiyi,

do you still remember what my name is?

You're my darling little blood slave.

Shiyi, my name is Yiling.

Shiyi, why don't we start over?

Find a place where no one knows us.

They want to kill us!

I'm going to slaughter every last one of them!

Kill them all!

There, I've dressed your wound.

Hua Yutang.

How did you get hurt?

Ah?

What happened after I passed out?

I carried you on my back and hurried out of there.

As I was running, I tripped and fell.

You will leave Busi Lodge tomorrow.

I don't want to.

I've told you before.

If you disobey me, I'll throw you out of Busi Lodge straight away.

It was wrong of me.

Those men were after you,

so I was too worried to care about anything else.

I was afraid something would happen to you.

I would rather have died.

If you carry on like this, not only will you become a killing machine,

your heart will also be ruined beyond repair,

and you're sure to die!

Hua Yutang!

I...

I'll never use my powers again.

I guarantee it!

Lingzhi!

Throw her out.

Now!

Shiyi, you'd better leave.

Stop kneeling there.

I don't understand.

What don't you understand?

Your qi injury has healed.

Turn around.

Shifu!

He won't die.

Thank you, Master Hua.

Every three days, I'll unblock another one of your meridians in the same way.

You'll be fully healed in a month.

Thank you, Shifu!

What are you thanking me for?

Nothing.

I'm tired.

If you two wouldn't mind leaving.

Shifu!

Shiyi...

are you really going to kick her out?

She's been kneeling outside the front gate all this while.

There's no need to discuss this further.

Hua Yutang!

I'm telling you to come out!

Hua Yutang, I have questions for you!

Are you a coward? Is that why you're afraid to come out?

Hua Yutang!

Ask.

Why are you throwing me out of Busi Lodge?

Exactly what did I do wrong?

Your powers overwhelmed you,

and you lost control of your mind.

I don't know what went wrong with me.

I've been trying so hard

to keep my slaughter mode under control.

I've been trying so, so hard, I really have.

I just wanted to protect you.

Why are you throwing me out?

Hua Yutang!

Hua Yutang,

where else can I go?

Busi Lodge is the only place I know in this world.

Hua Yutang,

wouldn't all this be solved if you could just cure me?

Are you...

Are you...

so impotent?

Shiyi,

I wasn't really trying to throw you out.

This time, I want you to remember.

Do you feel better?

Much better.

I'm just a little dizzy still.

Hua Yutang.

Is there really no way of curing my illness completely?

If I lose control and start killing people once again—

Then I'll kill you.

So that means

you're letting me stay on at Busi Lodge?

Unless—

I won't.

I'm going to bed now.

You should go.

Hurry!

Her lips are quite soft.

Firecrackers ring out on New Year's Eve,

as joyful families reunite around a feast!

I'm starting my journey back to Wuying Valley tomorrow.

Master Hua and Miss Lingzhi, thank you for looking after me all this while.

Young Master Qi, your qi cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds.

You have great aspirations,

and I believe you have a bright future ahead of you.

Hua Yutang,

what does it mean to 'see the new year in'?

When we see the new year in,

we keep candles burning throughout the house,

and we stay up all night.

It's a ritual for driving away all manner of pestilence and disease,

and lets us look forward to the good fortune the new year will bring.

Then I want to see every single new year in with you.

In that case, you'll have to be good.

That day, when you were hurt,

and I undressed you,

I saw the marking on your neck.

I think you and I must come from the same place.

Although I don't remember who you are,

I'm sticking with you for good!

Shifu, hurry up and join us!

Shiyi: Hua Yutang!

Qi Tianlin: Master Hua! Shiyi: Hua Yutang!

Shifu!

So all this time, Master Hua has been treating me

while enduring a serious injury of her own.

And yet I had no idea.

I'm ashamed of myself.

Shifu, please wake up!

Shifu's wound is exactly the same as the one Sect Leader Zhao suffered.

Not even she could heal it.

Is there anyone in the whole world who can?

Zhuang Wuji, the Master of Shuangji Hall, has come to trespass on your hospitality!

I'll hold him off!

Wait!

That bastard must have planned all this out.

He arranged for Shifu to be wounded.

We can't let him know how badly hurt Shifu is.

Busi Lodge is filled with poison traps,

I'm sure he won't dare to come in!

If we ignore him, he's sure to force his way in here.

This all started because of me.

Shiyi, Lingzhi,

please take care of yourselves.

Qi Tianlin!

Master Zhuang!

Let me show you the might of the Wuying Sword.

Come with me if you dare!

Will my Wuying Sword have the chance to duel your Zhanyi Sabre today?

Come!

Busi Lodge has held itself apart from conflict for years.

Your quarrel with them arose because of me.

If I am able to defeat you today, Master Zhuang,

you must swear that you will never trouble Busi Lodge again.

A weighty bargain indeed.

If you'll stake your life on it,

I'll agree to it.

Do your worst!

Don't blame me if you get hurt.

Watch out, Young Master Qi!

Wait!

I won't make the same mistake twice.

Little girl,

I'm going to give you a choice.

If you attack,

that means Busi Lodge is declaring war on Shuangji Hall.

Or

you can choose to be a coward, and look the other way.

Then if I kill him,

Busi Lodge remains neutral and uninvolved.

Lingzhi!

Kill her!

What a pity this handsome young man is about to die.

Busi Lodge stands on the side of justice and righteousness.

We'll live and die as one.

I can't just sit by and let him die.

If Shifu decides to punish me...

then let her punish me.

I'm leaving Shifu in your hands!

I understand.

Go.

What if something happens to Lingzhi?

You're sure to hold it against me.

I'll defend Busi Lodge with you.

Shiyi!

I thought it would be Hua Yutang who came.

I am Shiyi of Busi Lodge.

Let them go.

Or I'll kill all of you.

Busi Lodge holds itself out as a paragon of virtue,

but all this time it's been sheltering a bloodthirsty, murderous monster like you.

Are you

going to let them go?

No.

Killing you

is entirely in accordance with the laws of Heaven.

Why are you just standing there staring?

Kill her!

Kill!

Slaughter every last one of them!

Kill...

Shiyi,

it's a good thing you came!

Lingzhi!

Lingzhi is mortal.

Unlike you.

You're already dead.

After today,

you and I will never meet again, whether in life or death.

She only has the slimmest chance of survival.

Whether she can make it through the next crucial forty-nine days

is up to fate.

I'll guard her with my life.

Please don't worry, Master Hua.

As of today,

Busi Lodge is closed to outsiders.

(One month later)

Are you also on your way to Shuangji Hall (One month later)

Are you also on your way to Shuangji Hall

to join in the campaign against Busi Lodge?

Of course!

They say Busi Lodge is harbouring a demoness from another world!

Her name is Shiyi.

She's a bloodthirsty monster.

We must take her down together!

I've heard that

both this demoness and that Master Hua

are exceptionally beautiful women.

Especially Master Hua.

They say she's a real ice princess.

If we...

Come, come.

Drink up, drink up.

It's that demoness, Shiyi!

It must be her!

Run! Run!

You're nothing but a coward.

Why do you wish to destroy Busi Lodge?

I heard a rumour.

Made up a story.

Some two hundred years ago,

a strange object fell from the sky.

Demons emerged from it.

They possessed strange magics,

and committed all manner of atrocities.

The stalwarts of the jianghu banded together to annihilate them.

Fortunately internal strife arose among the demons,

and the jianghu fighters finally wiped them out.

But two of those demons escaped.

You

and that witch Shiyi.

You've surmised correctly.

I am indeed what you call a demoness from another world.

Let me share a few more details with you.

On the ship that fell from the skies,

were two girls who had only each other to depend on.

The world they came from was deficient in resources,

and they were both forcibly seized by the military and used as test subjects.

One girl was converted into a healing machine.

The other

into a killing machine.

The powers that be initiated their long campaign of interstellar invasion.

But the starship they sent collided with an meteorite,

destroying it and killing many of the crew.

Through a twist of fortune, the two girls survived.

They thought they could finally start a new life.

But they found themselves being hunted down relentlessly.

In order to protect the healer,

she activated her killing powers.

More and more people died at her hand.

Shiyi: I'm going to slaughter every last one of them! More and more people died at her hand.

The corpses piled high. Shiyi: I'm going to slaughter every last one of them!

Shiyi: I'm going to slaughter every last one of them!

Hua Yutang: In the end, she was so lost in bloodlust that she'd even forgotten who the healer was.

Hua Yutang: The healer conspired with the humans

Shiyi: You're my darling little blood slave. Hua Yutang: The healer conspired with the humans

and had a blade forged from meteorite iron.

Then she killed her with her own hands.

Once I've drunk my fill,

I'll slaughter them all!

More and more people died at her hand.

The corpses piled high.

In the end, she was so lost in bloodlust that she'd even forgotten who the healer was.

The healer conspired with the humans

and had a blade forged from meteorite iron.

Then killed her with her own hands.

The healer had planned to die with her.

(Three years later) The healer had planned to die with her.

She took her own life, but her death proved to be only temporary. (Three years later)

She took her own life, but her death proved to be only temporary.

You...

So there really are such things as demons from the stars.

Wasn't that what you wanted people to believe

when you first made up that story, Master Zhuang?

Essence of honeyflower has no colour and no taste.

Those poisoned by it will experience paralysis.

Guards.

Guards!

They've all fallen asleep.

Your limbs are beginning to stiffen.

You're as helpless as a calf led to slaughter.

That

was for them.

Hua Yutang,

it's been a while.

You're not welcome here.

Heal me.

No.

Then I'll kill every single person on the face of the earth.

Every single one I see,

until they're all dead.

How's that?

Could she have recovered her memories?

Kill whoever you wish.

It has nothing to do with me.

Excellent.

Then I'm going straight to your beloved disciple's room.

And this time I'll make sure she's thoroughly dead.

Have you gone mad?

Heal me,

and I'll spare her life.

From now on,

you're my blood slave.

Do you want to kill me again?

Can you even do it?

I want my medicine!

You haven't been examined yet.

What medicine are you talking about?

But I want it.

Go.

Or else I'll put on a display of my killing skills for you.

Fine.

I'll brew you a bowl of lethal poison.

You drink it first.

Feed me.

It tastes quite good.

But...

not as delicious as your blood.

It's her.

She really is back.

That's my bed.

You need to understand who is mistress here now.

Do you want to kill me again?

Can you even do it?

How sweet.

Truly a holy elixir that can cure all ills.

If you want to kill me, kill me.

Why must you torture me so?

How could I bear to kill you?

I still need you to heal me.

Master Hua.

What did you want to see?

I wanted to see if she's dead yet, of course.

What are you talking about?

I also wanted to assess your medical skills.

You've managed to keep her alive despite those horrific injuries.

That's quite resourceful of you.

You've seen everything you wanted to.

Can we go now?

That will do.

Come.

Drink with me.

How delightful!

Drink up.

Who's yanking me?

I have a home now!

Drink with me.

Well done!

Have another.

Another!

I have a question for you.

Ask.

You know perfectly well I was the one who killed you all those centuries ago.

Why did you come back to seek healing from me?

I have a question for you.

Ask.

You know perfectly well I was the one who killed you all those centuries ago.

Why did you come back to seek healing from me?

I'm ill.

Very ill.

There's no one in the whole world who can heal me

except you.

You won't be able to trust me.

I'll try to kill you in every way possible.

You should leave.

What about her?

If the Shiyi from before was standing here now,

would you save her?

Would you?

Shiyi!

You see.

You would have saved her after all.

Who are you, really?

She didn't know what the old Shiyi was like.

But

she found a way of controlling herself,

so that she'd never hurt anyone again.

You once told me

there's a force within my body that doesn't belong to me,

and it's attacking my heart.

So if I purge myself of my heart's blood every now and then,

that should work, shouldn't it?

Hua Yutang,

can you say sorry to Lingzhi for her?

She didn't mean to.

Hua Yutang,

please don't drive Shiyi away again.

I won't.

I'll never do it again.

Shiyi!

Hua Yutang,

please don't drive Shiyi away again.

Shiyi!

Shiyi!

You've been very good.

I know.

I've been trying so hard

to keep my slaughter mode under control.

I've been trying so, so hard, I really have.

I'm not angry with you anymore.

I promised to heal you,

and I will keep that promise.

After today,

you and I will never meet again, whether in life or death.

Hua Yutang!

Please don't drive me away!

I won't.

I'll never do it again.

It seems the gates of Busi Lodge

will have to be closed to outsiders for a very long time.

(Three years later)

Ginseng,

angelica root,

baizhu,

oh, and licorice root!

Licorice root.

Hurry up!

You're so clumsy!

Licorice root?

If that flame gets any higher, the medicine will burn.

Shifu!

Shifu, what are you doing out here?

Slow down.

Don't knock your Shifu over.

You're getting married soon,

yet you're still as impetuous as ever.

Who's getting married?

Lingzhi, wait for me!
