[A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella]

[Episode 3]

It's 11:45 PM!

All is well!

It's 11:45 PM!

All is well!

Father,

why have houses become more difficult to sell recently?

[Meng Xizhou's Sister, Dan Qian]

Actually, they're becoming harder and harder to buy.

In these times,

if you want to buy a house,

it'll cost you most of your parents' life savings.

Our houses

are cheap and are already considered easy to sell.

Uncle Wu.

It's already midnight.

Aren't you still up working?

Chirp, you're back.

Chirp is back.

Come on.

Uncle,

I'm sorry.

These past few days, while I was away,

I must have delayed the sale of quite a few ghost-free houses, right?

Even if we post these listings, they won't sell.

There's nothing to delay.

But I've made up my mind.

From now on,

I won't force you to go on blind dates anymore.

If you really want to stay single,

then you can...

stay single for life then.

If it comes to that, I will

look after you for the rest of your life.

Between humans,

between humans and demons,

and among all things in the universe,

there aren't that many differences.

All living beings,

as long as they accompany and rely on each other,

have affection and righteousness towards others.

You...

What are you thinking?

You think I'll look after you for free?

Get to work.

Next stop.

Next stop.

[Changle City]

If there's a next life,

I'd like to be a free-spirited cat.

He's finally been brought to justice.

That serves him right.

Sikong She.

I'm really sorry.

I still couldn't take good care of...

your only family in this world.

You want to be a demon hunter,

yet you sympathize with demons.

Then what's your point in insisting on being a demon hunter

anyway?

Yeah.

Why do I want to become a demon hunter?

Clearly,

I don't seem to mean any harm to demons.

But my father was a demon hunter when he was alive.

Why did he tell me

that both humans and demons are living beings?

Perhaps

I want to become a demon hunter

just to prove to everyone

that I

am Li Shiyi's daughter,

not some stray child

that Uncle Wu picked up.

Agent Meng has been released.

Look at her shoes.

Her toes are all poking through.

It's hilarious.

Seems like she's suffered a lot.

Chirp.

[Xiaolin]

I heard from Uncle Wu

that you were almost involved in the Puppet Spirits case.

I was very worried about you.

I'm fine.

I'm good,

very good.

It's so embarrassing, and my shoes are broken too.

-Go back with me. -Just you go.

No need.

No need.

Can't you give me another chance?

Xiaolin,

I've already made it very clear to you.

From now on,

please don't come to me anymore.

I have

lost all interest in you.

Director Nan?

Where are you going?

Who is he?

Going home.

Get on.

♫The leaves turn yellow as the weather cools♫

♫The clouds half-cover the moonlight♫

♫Cooking smoke rises, leaving a lingering fragrance♫

♫I offer my love in exchange for appreciating the morning frost with you♫

♫How can I contain this fluttering heart?♫

♫Eyes never lie♫

Why don't you come with me?

♫Listen, each heartbeat echoes♫

How am I inferior to him?

♫Every echo gently knocks upon my heart♫

♫Untying the silk robes and removing the makeup♫

Is that the man who confessed to you?

♫A silver bell chimes by the umbrella♫

Yes.

After he confessed his feelings to me,

♫Rain falls upon the paper♫

I couldn't bring myself to face him anymore.

♫Every drop mirrors you♫

I didn't expect

♫My fluttering heart has nowhere to rest♫

you to be quite heartless.

♫I can't hide the nervousness in my eyes♫

So,

all of you had better not like me.

♫Thinking of sharing dreams with you, have you been well?♫

Even if you do like me,

don't let me know.

Otherwise, you will only

end up like him.

I saw you at the execution ground earlier.

There were so many people at the execution ground.

How did you manage to see me?

Does it matter?

I just happened to see you.

Why are you still so concerned

about Sikong She?

After everything that has happened,

don't you, Director Nan,

feel anything at all?

Only by remaining numb...

can I make more rational decisions when solving cases.

Your rationality

only applies when dealing with people.

But what did Hua do wrong?

What did the affairs of Right Chancellor Situ have to do with her?

What did the massacre of the Sikong family have to do with her?

Is it

just because she was a demon?

Look at you.

They're together, so be it.

That girl hasn't even said anything yet.

[Neighbor of the Nan Family, Ms. Wang]

Why are you so worried?

You don't know the whole story.

If I don't know, tell me.

Anyway,

our Yi

just can't date anyone.

They're coming.

Listen carefully.

You go ahead and block them.

I'll cover the rear.

Alright.

Yi!

Father?

Ms. Wang?

What are you doing?

I was wondering where you've been these past few days

without coming home.

Tell me!

Have you been taking this...

female broker...

who sells haunted houses,

to...

do something obscene?

-Father! -Something obscene?

You mean

him and me?

Father,

what are you doing?

I'm talking about you!

Don't you know your own background?

How can you be worthy of our Yi?

Let me tell you,

stay away from our Yi!

Sir,

I have no grudge against you.

I don't even know you.

Watch your language.

Father, could you please stop causing trouble?

How am I causing trouble?

Not just any girl can become

the daughter-in-law of our Nan family!

I'm keeping watch for you!

Who would want to get tangled up with someone from the Court of Judicature and Revision?

I'm just an honest agent,

doing my legitimate business.

I've been dragged into Chief Minister Pei's case for no reason.

I'm just as unfortunate, okay?

Father.

That young lady was here to help us with the case.

Look at you.

You misunderstood, didn't you?

Well,

I was wrong.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Well...

See?

You broke them up.

I think

you'd better stay away from me.

So I won't be blamed by your father for no reason again.

♫What is love, and how many can truly understand it?♫

It was my father who was wrong earlier.

♫In the moment of writing, thousands of thoughts surge through my mind♫

I apologize for him.

♫Ink stains the paper, words not from the heart♫

I've been given cold looks countless times since childhood.

♫I collide with the clock of fate♫

This is nothing.

I've forgotten about that already.

It's in the past now.

♫Your glance makes the moonlight surge♫

Wait.

I bought a pair of shoes for my sister.

♫Your eyes mirror my flustered face♫

Your feet seem to be about the same size.

Could you try them on for her?

♫How I wish this life could freeze in this moment♫

♫The impulse that pauses for you♫

Why should I try them on for her?

You bought the shoes for your sister.

It has nothing to do with me.

♫My solitary courage and your smile♫

♫Unfamiliar with the ways of the world♫

♫Love, at its deepest, is understood most by the lovers♫

♫The most unique, composed, and touching feelings♫

♫Are the special affection you've given me♫

♫A thought enters my dream, as snow seeking an eternal moment without question♫

♫Only with longing do I realize that the deep sea isn't so deep♫

Alright, alright.

I've already tried them on for you.

♫Making me foolish♫

Give me back my shoes.

♫Inch by inch, sinking recklessly♫

Consider these shoes as my apology.

♫I need this possibility with you, for only then will my life be complete♫

♫Your gaze can't resist it, and my heart aches so deeply♫

They fit quite well.

They look pretty good too.

♫My tear stains, and you can't bear them♫

You don't need to be so touched.

I didn't buy them specifically for you.

♫Though there are a thousand trials, I'll still seek this possibility♫

Director Nan.

Do you smell...

a very delicious scent?

Capital-style sesame pastries.

Crispy and delicious, fresh from the oven.

Director Nan, you're here.

They smell so good.

Sir, I'd like thirty sesame pastries.

Thirty?

Director Nan,

I can't eat that many by myself.

These are for my men at the Court of Judicature and Revision.

They've been working hard lately.

Miss, miss.

Miss.

Come on, come on.

Listen to my advice.

His father—

everyone in the East Market

knows exactly what kind of person he is.

You'd better be careful.

I'm talking about you!

Are you worthy of our Yi?

Stay away from our Yi!

Sir, you're right.

Nan!

Here you are.

What's the matter?

His Majesty has urgently summoned you and Agent Meng.

I have to go too?

Yes.

It's probably about the Puppet Spirits case.

I'm not going.

I've just cleared my name with great difficulty.

If you don't go, you'll be disobeying the imperial edict.

What's this?

These are sesame pastries

that Nan bought for you.

They smell so delicious.

Nan,

it's so rare.

This is the first time

you've treated us brothers to sesame pastries.

How many are there in total?

Thirty.

Thirty?

It's fine.

I'll just eat this extra one.

Oh, one more?

You have it.

Nan!

You can't even keep count of your own men.

[Taiji Palace]

Nan Fengyi,

stand up and speak.

The head of all officials is Situ Hanshan.

When you're in the hall, use your Demon-Recognizing Pupils to look at him.

Remember,

no matter what you see, don't say a word.

He is a mermaid demon,

and his tail is still badly damaged.

[Vice Minister of War, Fan Yong]

There's another one.

Right Chancellor?

Lord Du?

You just mentioned that there is a demon in the Court of Judicature and Revision.

Why don't you verify this with Nan now?

Director Nan,

I heard from Lord Du

that the Celestial Master's Mansion detected

a massive demonic aura in the Court of Judicature and Revision last night.

According to the timing,

it was exactly when the fire broke out there.

At that time,

were you inside the Court of Judicature and Revision?

Massive demonic aura?

During the fire?

Could it be that the mysterious internal power

erupted from Director Nan at that moment?

He is a demon?

That's impossible.

Say something,

Nan Fengyi.

Your Majesty,

I

was planning to report this matter today.

However, as this is a matter of great importance,

and the investigation is not yet complete,

I dare not make any rash statements.

Then tell me what you've learned so far.

This concerns the safety of our people.

How can it be delayed?

Your Majesty,

indeed, there was a demon

in the Court of Judicature and Revision.

There was a demon?

And this demon was none other than Lord Pei,

Pei Xun.

Nonsense!

How could Lord Pei possibly be a demon?

Indeed.

Before Lord Pei was killed that night,

he was slain by

a demon from Dongzhou, called Puppet Worm,

which then possessed his body.

His body was brought back to the Court of Judicature and Revision,

which is why

the Celestial Master's Mansion detected a demonic aura.

Dongzhou did have

this evil sorcery of Puppet Worms possessing human bodies.

But who could obtain such things?

In my humble opinion,

Nan Fengyi's statements

are precisely to exonerate the woman beside him,

who is also a suspect in the Pei Xun case!

After a Puppet Worm from Dongzhou transforms into a Puppet Spirit, it doesn't have any demonic aura.

Such powerful demonic energy

couldn't possibly come from a Puppet Worm.

But if what he says about the Puppet Worm is true,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

Why is Lord Situ so eager

to deny it?

Could it be

that he is indeed involved in this matter?

Your Majesty.

Shut up.

The Puppet Worms in Situ's Mansion

haven't been fully investigated yet.

It's not the right time.

If I don't prove my innocence now,

I'll be on the defensive later.

The Puppet Worm from Chief Minister Pei's body

is now in my possession.

I'm willing...

to demonstrate it to everyone here.

Don't, don't.

Your Majesty.

I wonder...

may I borrow the cranes outside the hall?

Okay.

Remember the incantation I taught you

on our way here?

You're on your own now.

Okay.

Your Majesty, look!

This is the Puppet Worm, who can possess bodies.

Your Majesty,

this is

the crane that is possessed by the Puppet Worm.

Your Majesty,

within the realm,

there indeed exist Puppet Worms.

Your Majesty,

beneath the skin of this crane,

lies the Puppet Worm, a demon from Dongzhou.

So, you're saying

that the one you killed that night

was Lord Pei with Puppet Worm inside his body?

Yes.

That's utterly ridiculous.

Since the worm possessed his body,

how did you know he was a Puppet Spirit?

I...

I have Demon-Recognizing Pupils.

No demon

can escape my eyes.

Demon-Recognizing Pupils?

I've never heard of such a thing in my life.

How can you prove that you have Demon-Recognizing Pupils?

Meng Xizhou.

Stop talking.

No.

Everyone, take a look.

In this sky,

which one

is the crane that has just been possessed by the worm?

Lord Du!

Your Majesty.

There's no demonic aura on the Puppet Worm.

Even if we use magical artifacts,

we can't distinguish them.

It must be that one.

Evil stems from the heart.

All techniques return to their origin.

This girl can actually use talismans.

Just a few days ago, she had no internal power at all.

She was nowhere near this level.

However,

the way she was just now

reminded me exactly of how my Senior used to be.

If I may trouble you, Lord Du,

please extract the Puppet Worm.

It's right around the neck area.

Good!

Good, good, good.

Your Majesty, do not be deceived by this sorcery.

She brought the Puppet Worm herself,

so naturally she can make any claims she wishes.

Right Chancellor, that's not right.

This young lady has indeed

proven the existence of the Puppet Worm just now.

However, where Puppet Worm came from

needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Nan Qing,

in your opinion,

where did the Puppet Worm come from?

I do not know, Your Majesty.

Why don't you tell the truth?

After playing tricks for so long,

you still can't make your story add up, can you?

Your Majesty.

In my opinion,

this woman is the culprit in the Pei Xun case.

Those Puppet Worms

were merely brought from Dongzhou by Director Nan

to be scapegoats for this woman.

These two have shown disrespect in the imperial hall,

using sorcery to bewitch you, Your Majesty.

Their crimes warrant execution.

Lord Situ!

Meng Xizhou.

Stop talking.

Right Chancellor,

there's no need to escalate things like this.

The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet...

Today, not only do I have this suggestion,

but all the officials share this idea.

We concur!

Throw Nan Fengyi,

along with this woman,

into the imperial prison!

Await further judgment!

Is anyone there?

We've been wronged!

We are innocent!

We've been wronged!

Don't waste your energy.

This is the imperial prison.

There's no way out.

We're completely finished now.

We've offended the all-powerful Right Chancellor Situ.

Even the Emperor wouldn't listen to my explanation.

We're done for.

Oh, right.

Don't you have strong internal power?

That night in the mortuary,

you went "ha"...

and then

put out all the fires in the Court of Judicature and Revision,

right?

That internal power isn't something I can control.

You can control it?

Then it seems your technique

isn't very stable.

Lord Du also said...

that internal power

is...

demonic power.

Do I look like a demon to you?

No, no.

Absolutely not.

My Demon-Recognizing Pupils can see you very clearly.

You

are human.

Anyway...

today Situ Hanshan

set up that trap in the court.

No matter what we do,

he will lock us up.

We'd better stay put.

Especially since...

you've exposed your Demon-Recognizing Pupils.

The first one he wants to kill

is you.

It's here.

Let's go.

Let's go out and meet it.

What is this?

Smoke Dragon.

The Smoke Dragon of legend?

Yes.

It seems that besides that cat demon in Changle City,

there are indeed many more demons hidden.

That Celestial Master's Mansion is just a facade?

Are all those celestial masters just for show?

I'm not bad, am I?

Being with me,

your skills have improved quite a bit.

Tell me,

did Situ Hanshan send you?

[Smoke Dragon]

Cut the crap.

Go ahead and kill me, if you dare.

You're in our hands now.

Still acting tough, huh?

Director Nan,

torture him.

Why are you staring at me?

Torture him.

That technique of yours works.

Let me go.

How many demons like you, who haven't achieved a stable human form,

are there in Changle City?

Where are they all hiding?

More than you think.

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

Tell me,

what's your connection to the "Scroll of Mountains and Seas"?

The "Scroll of Mountains and Seas" again.

Why is he so concerned about

the whereabouts of the Scroll of Mountains and Seas?

I'll tell you.

We are the demons who escaped when the Scroll of Mountains and Seas

was used to seal us away.

Lord Situ gave us refuge

in Changle City.

So,

you are the demons that were missed when the Scroll of Mountains and Seas

sealed away demons back then,

rather than demons inside the scroll.

Have you seen the Scroll of Mountains and Seas since then?

I...

I've never seen it.

Please let me go.

Where has Situ Hanshan been hiding all of you?

Tell me!

Tell us now!

In...

In...

In...

In...

[Nine-Tailed Fox]

The Nine-Tailed Fox ranked tenth on the Hundred Demons List.

The Nine-Tailed Fox?

What...

What's the Hundred Demons List?

My father's demon-catching journal.

Who's your father?

Fortunately, I arrived in time.

Otherwise, our years-long secret

would have been completely revealed by that Smoke Dragon.

What are these? They're so cute.

Paper Control Technique.

I want to learn it too.

I won't teach you.

You're being too stingy.

Oh no, it's the illusionary technique.

What's the illusionary technique?

There's no time to explain.

The key to resisting the illusionary technique is to go against your natural thoughts.

Don't follow your own thoughts at all.

Don't go along with people's thoughts...

Director Nan,

I think you're...

Let me out.

Let me out!

Xiaolin?

Help me.

Help me out.

Am I not good enough?

Why can't you like us?

You're just a sick woman!

You don't deserve it at all!

You don't deserve it!

If they saw your true self,

who would really like you?

Your mother died giving birth to you!

Your father abandoned you and died for no reason!

You have no talent for anything you do!

You're the most unnecessary person in this world.

She doesn't deserve it at all!

Why did you deceive our love?

You're destined to die alone!

No one will like you, even if they die!

You're heartless and ungrateful!

You don't deserve it at all!

Stop it! Stop it!

Yeah.

The real me...

is not worthy of being loved.

Let me be alone...

for the rest of my life.

It's better this way.

So, what if you have Demon-Recognizing Pupils?

Someone like you, with no redeeming qualities

and such low self-esteem and self-deprecating,

doesn't deserve to truly possess them.

Meng Xizhou.

You need to believe

that you deserve to be loved.

You are a unique existence in this world.

A unique existence?

Yes.

You are.

As long as you don't care,

no one can hurt you!

Right.

I am

a unique existence in this world.

No one can dictate whom I should like

or who should like me.

These choices should all be mine to make!

I apologize for the offense.

I broke through the Nine-Tailed Fox's illusion?

More or less.

Then in that illusion,

was it really you talking to me?

No, it wasn't.

It indeed doesn't sound like something he would say.

I understand now.

It must be that you've had another outburst

of that mysterious internal power,

then saved me

and broken through the illusion, right?

Because at the end of the illusion,

I also saw the same red light

as the one on your body.

But how can I control this internal power?

I don't know when it will suddenly erupt

or when it will disappear again.

Could it be...

related to her?

You guys keep talking back and forth.

Am I invisible to you?

How could she

break my illusion?

How could she?

Can't you see?

Because she's more powerful than you.

Now,

I will use your own methods

against you.

No, no.

No! No!

Has she...

fallen into the illusion that she created herself?

Brilliant,

Director Nan.

Tell me,

what are Situ Hanshan's next plans?

You have to act fast,

or it will be too late.

You have to act fast,

or it will be too late.

What will be too late?

The Puppet Worms won't survive for more than half a day.

Lord Situ must act tonight.

It's too late. It's too late.

Then tonight

is Situ Hanshan's

final chance to possess all the officials.

I've come

to specifically request punishment from you, Your Majesty,

and to admit my wrongdoings.

I

have failed your trust over the years,

allowing demons to run rampant in the world.

Your Majesty, I humbly request

that you punish me.

So,

in the hall today,

you believed Nan Fengyi

and that demon-discerning girl?

Yes.

It's quite clear

that the Right Chancellor

is hiding something.

Good.

I haven't misplaced my trust in you.

Could it be

that Your Majesty also believes

that in the imperial hall,

we wronged him?

It's more than just wronging him.

That Nan Fengyi

volunteered to be imprisoned.

I was merely cooperating with him

in putting on this act.

The Right Chancellor is in such a hurry

to punish and imprison both Meng Xizhou and me.

It seems he must have some urgent matters to do.

I might as well go along with his plan

and give him what he wants.

So this was a play staged by the Emperor

and you in the imperial hall?

Yes.

That really scared me.

Yeah.

However,

thanks to your Demon-Recognizing Pupils,

Situ Hanshan sent those two

to eliminate us.

But

also thanks to you,

your profound and mysterious technique...

I'll tell you again,

my technique is of great importance.

It's a secret between the two of us.

You must never tell another soul.

It seems...

this secret is

very important to you.

As for me,

I'm known for having a big mouth,

so I need some powerful incentive to keep my silence.

What do you want?

First,

teach me how to use talismans and formation techniques,

and also that cute little paper-man technique.

Second,

help me deal with the unofficial and official deeds

for Sikong She's house.

If you agree to these two conditions,

I'll take your secret to my grave.

How about it?

Your haunted house business is doing well.

Why do you insist on learning demon-catching techniques?

Becoming a demon hunter has always been my dream.

Moreover,

staying by your side

can help repair my leaked Qi Core.

With this woman by my side,

I'll have the chance to activate

that mysterious and powerful internal power within me

to fight against Situ Hanshan.

In addition,

if this woman happens to wander around me,

I might be drawn away as soon as I use my powers.

Right,

I can't let her leave.

I must keep her around me.

She'll be useful at crucial moments.

Well? Well? Well?

Alright.

Tonight, I'll test

whether you're qualified to learn from me or not.

You...

You can't be asking me

to catch those hundreds of Puppet Worms by myself, can you?

Then forget it.

My magical powers are weak.

I'm no match for them.

It's not up to you anymore at this point.

If you can't catch those demons,

you can wait and be thrown back in prison.

Again?

[Situ's Mansion]

Cheers.

Good wine.

The Right Chancellor has arrived!

Right Chancellor.

Right...

Thank you, Right Chancellor.

Gentlemen,

would you like to know

what true nectar of the gods tastes like?

Nectar of the gods?

That's a fine drink

served at the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother

of the Western Heaven.

Please, gentlemen, come with me

to taste this nectar of the gods.

Okay, okay.

Let's go. Let's go.

Nectar of the gods. Nectar of the gods.
