Savage girl!

What's wrong with you?

Li Xiaoyao, just go!

The toad demon must be nearby.

Don't worry about me. Hurry up and go!

Then, stay right here.

I'll go find the antidote for you.

Your jade pendant.

Don't lose it again.

Honey.

Honey.

I miss you so much.

All men should die.

They are all cheaters.

I don't believe

there are men in this world who won't change their hearts.

You certainly didn't come to me

because of that disfigured woman.

She's disfigured.

You don't love her anymore.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Hand over the antidote now.

All men should die.

They're all cheaters.

Honey, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Honey, I'm sorry.

Did I disturb you?

I'll make sure no one bothers you.

Honey.

Honey.

Give it back to me!

Give me back the mirror!

I see you cherish this mirror so much.

It depicts you

and your lover, doesn't it?

Don't touch it.

- Give it back to me. - Hand over the antidote.

Don't!

Don't. You want the antidote, right?

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

Men are all heartless creatures.

He promised me not to leave me,

but it was just for my beauty.

Once my face was disfigured,

he despised me, avoided me,

and immediately married another woman.

Where exactly is the antidote for the Five Poison bead?

Impossible!

Honey,

impossible. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Sorry, honey.

Honey. Honey.

Your lover left you because of your identity

and your looks.

That's his problem,

but it doesn't mean

all men in the world are heartless like that.

Though the savage girl is just a friend of mine,

I must save her.

Impossible.

Honey,

could it be that I

misunderstood you?

She ate my Five Poison bead.

Becoming ugly is just the first phase.

Next,

the toxin will permeate her organs,

and she will die in unbearable pain.

What?

Where exactly is the antidote?

The Heartbroken Grass

counteracts the Five Poison Bead.

Only the Heartbroken Grass

can cure the poison of the Five Poison Bead.

Where is the Heartbroken Grass?

The Heartbroken Grass

is in the deep marsh behind the mountain.

Its color is peculiar,

surrounded by pink poisonous gas.

It can only be picked by hand,

but it is the most poisonous thing in the world.

If there's no Five Poison Bead on the body,

touching it,

within the time of an incense stick,

will result in death from the poison spreading through the body.

Are you sure

it's worth it

for a disfigured nobody?

Of course.

Impossible!

In this world,

there can't be such devoted men.

All men should die!

- Come with me quickly. - My face hurts so much.

I know where the antidote is.

The Five Poison Bead and the Heartbroken Grass counteract each other.

Heartbroken Grass can detoxify.

My face...

Li Xiaoyao, just kill me.

My face hurts so much.

Wait here for me to come back.

Wait here for me, alright?

My face hurts so much.

The Heartbroken Grass is the most poisonous thing in the world.

If there's no Five Poison Bead on the body,

touching it,

within the time of an incense stick,

will result in death from the poison spreading through the body.

Are you sure it's worth it

for a disfigured nobody?

Li Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you?

Li Xiaoyao, wake up.

Li Xiaoyao!

Li Xiaoyao!

The Heartbroken Grass is in the deep marsh behind the mountain.

- The two counteract each other. - Don't...

The Heartbroken Grass can detoxify.

Heartbroken Grass...

Counteract each other...

The Heartbroken Grass is the most poisonous thing in the world.

If there's no Five Poison Bead on the body,

touching it,

within the time of an incense stick,

will result in death from the poison spreading through the body.

Li Xiaoyao!

Li Xiaoyao!

Are you okay, Li Xiaoyao?

Are you alright?

Of course.

Someone risked his life to find the antidote for me.

Luckily, it was in time.

You should thank me.

I was the one who gave you the Five Poison Bead,

or else you were almost dead.

Then, I really do owe you a thank you,

savage girl.

No need to thank me.

After all, you need to pay back

what you owe me.

Let's go

to find Ling'er.

Chief,

Mr. Shi has already taken Princess Ling'er

to Yunmeng Marsh.

There's another thing, Chief.

Why do you monitor every move

of Li Xiaoyao and the Princess on one hand,

yet on the other, you have repeatedly found help for them,

even saved their lives?

Also, after all the trouble you went through to find the Witch Queen's statue,

why did you secretly inform Mr. Shi,

letting him take the Princess to Yunmeng Marsh to investigate?

To obtain,

one must first give.

It took me ten years

to thoroughly monitor

Li Xiaoyao and others.

Chief,

you do have the ability to foresee the future.

Even though I have comprehended everything,

this step

has exhausted ten years of my life.

Who in this world can understand

the loneliness of these ten years?

Chief,

I will do my utmost

to fulfill your wishes.

Gui Ying.

Yes.

Come with me to Yunmeng Marsh.

Yes, Chief.

(Yunmeng Marsh)

How much longer?

Mr. Shi, stop for a moment.

Don't you find it strange?

The more we walk, the more desolate it gets.

There's not even a hint of Yunmeng Marsh here.

Did you take us to the wrong path?

Map.

(Map of Yunmeng Marsh)

Your Highness, if we keep going,

we'll enter a desert.

That's where Yunmeng Marsh is.

Desert?

Mr. Shi,

Yunmeng Marsh is known for its abundant water.

Why would it be a desert?

Yunmeng Marsh used to be as you described,

but ten years ago,

it started drying up from the middle outward,

eventually turning into a desert.

Why would such a change happen?

I didn't understand before,

but now it seems,

perhaps...

It might be related to the Witch Queen's statue.

What exactly happened

after I left Nanzhao?

Your Highness,

we should hurry on our way.

We must reach Yunmeng Marsh before dark.

Ling'er,

this old man has always been stubborn.

It might be better to ask my mother

when we return to Nanzhao.

Let's go.

Did you ever feel afraid in Toad Valley?

Afraid of what?

Afraid of dying.

After all, we almost just...

Aren't you alive and well?

Li Xiaoyao,

if I had died from poisoning,

would you be sad?

If I died,

you would always remember me, right?

Silly rat, I'm talking to you.

Did you hear me?

I'll remember.

Really?

I'll remember

to burn paper for you every year.

So you're just waiting for me to die?

You're cursing yourself and asking me about it.

Tell me. If you're dead,

what else can I do but mourn?

Okay, okay, I shouldn't have asked.

Exactly. It's nonsense to think about dying.

I can't make you understand.

Idiot!

And you insult me again.

Your Highness,

we've arrived at Yunmeng Marsh.

According to the map,

there's an inn ahead.

We'll rest there tonight.

To avoid attention,

we need to disguise ourselves as merchants.

Your Highness, you'll need to pretend to be my granddaughter.

There are clothes prepared inside.

Please change into them, Your Highness.

And everyone should conceal their weapons.

Mr. Shi,

if Ling'er is pretending to be a young lady,

then I'll deign to be her little sister.

There's no dress prepared for you.

Then I'll wear my own.

Ling'er, let's go.

Are we lost?

This doesn't look like Yunmeng Marsh at all.

The direction should be correct.

Just keep going forward.

Be careful.

I've changed into new clothes. How do I look?

Like a maid.

You look like a maid, an old maid.

You didn't look like one before,

but standing next to the Princess, you do now.

Really.

I won't talk to you.

Tang Yu, what do you think?

This is the inn.

Your Highness, please look.

What do you think?

Mr. Shi's words seem

to make some sense.

No sense at all.

Then, for Princess Ling'er's sake,

I won't argue with you.

Miss, let's go.

Put it away.

Let's go.

Why is there a ship

in this desert?

It must have been stranded here

before Yunmeng Marsh turned into a desert.

Landlord,

a group of merchants arrived.

Dressed quite convincingly.

Dressed up?

Do you recognize these people?

(Gai Luojiao)

Old acquaintances.

The girl dressed as a young lady...

She looks...

You go, try to find out about her background.

Yes.

Your Highness,

this is the inn.

Once we enter, everyone should be careful.

If not necessary, try not to speak.

Alright, alright.

You'll be the only one who can talk,

and we'll all be mutes, right?

Mr. Shi,

it's not dark yet.

You guys go to the inn first.

I'll scout around.

Be careful.

Okay.

Come back early.

Don't get hurt.

Something seems odd.

Everyone, be cautious.

Dear guests,

do you want to dine or stay?

Stay.

Serve us some food first.

Please, have a seat and rest with some tea.

Please sit here.

Have a seat.

If I'm not mistaken,

you must be merchants.

Indeed.

May I know your name?

I am surnamed Shi.

Mr. Shi,

coming to such a remote place,

what business are you conducting?

We took a wrong turn and ended up here,

planning to stay just for the night.

I see.

This young lady carries herself with extraordinary grace.

May I know how she should be addressed?

She's my granddaughter,

brought out to see the world.

Miss Shi.

Well,

we're all hungry.

You'd better serve the food now.

Of course.

Coming right up.

This waiter seems to be probing.

If anything happens,

everyone must protect the lady.

Needless to say.

The desert surrounds us,

but there's a path behind the inn

leading into the mountains.

It seems very likely

that the Witch Queen's statue might be there.

We'll explore the mountains early tomorrow morning.

Landlord,

the food is ready.

The old man is very cautious,

even secretly tested.

Did you find out anything?

He only mentioned his surname as Shi

and the girl beside him as his granddaughter,

but it's unclear whether that's true or not.

His surname Shi is true.

So,

what do we do next?

Gather everyone.

Ask them to wait for my signal in the back hall.

I'll talk with them.

Understood.

I've just stepped out,

not realizing we had esteemed guests.

If our humble inn has shown any neglect,

I hope you can forgive us.

Landlord, you're too kind.

We have prepared a jar of wine

to relieve your fatigue.

Thanks for the hospitality,

but we need to set off early tomorrow,

so it's not wise to indulge.

Sir,

you're not suspecting our wine has been tampered with, are you?

A misunderstanding, Landlord.

I have no such thoughts,

just preoccupied with matters.

In that case,

it's a shame about the wine.

Landlord,

we've been on the road all day and are quite tired.

Please show us to our rooms.

My apologies.

The rooms are a bit dusty from the wind and are currently being cleaned.

You might need to wait a moment.

This young lady

looks quite familiar.

I feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing her.

May I have the honor to know the young lady's name?

She's my granddaughter,

named Shi Xiu'er.

So, it's Miss Xiu'er.

Miss Xiu'er is acting

with extraordinary grace.

You seem quite interested in my granddaughter.

It's merely because

she greatly resembles

someone I once knew.

It's common for people to look alike in this world.

Just a coincidence.

Like now,

I also find you somewhat familiar,

as if reminding me of someone I once knew.

Perhaps your wife?

That's a joke.

May I know your surname?

My surname is

Zhao,

a native of Nanzhao.

Landlord Zhao,

how long has this inn been open?

Over ten years.

This place is remote

with few visitors.

Landlord Zhao, may I ask

why you travelled all the way from Nanzhao to open an inn here,

and how you managed to keep it running for ten years?

Just a personal preference.

I see.

Please wait here a moment.

I'll check if the rooms are ready.

Thank you for your trouble.

By the way,

the winds are strong at night.

Please don't venture out on your own.

Of course.

The landlord said Ling'er resembled someone she knew,

so he followed along. Quite fake, right?

But,

she does look somewhat familiar.

Here.

Give me the whip.

What do you need my whip for?

What are you doing?

You don't need to help me,

I can walk on my own.

I'm afraid I'll be blown away.

At crucial times, you still have to rely on me.

Indeed, you're heavier and more stable.

Li Xiaoyao,

you really can't say anything nice.

The landlord has been probing repeatedly.

She seems to know the Princess's identity.

To avoid complications,

we'll head into the mountains tonight.

Mr. Shi,

since she knows my identity,

she's likely

related to my mother.

Could she be

an old friend of my mother's?

No, she shouldn't be.

She claimed to be from Nanzhao

and had stayed in this desolate place for ten years.

Running the inn is just an excuse.

There must be a connection to the Witch Queen's statue behind it.

We need to be more cautious.

But I feel

that lady seems quite nice.

She's not like a bad person.

What do you know?

Tonight, you must stay close to the Princess at all times.

Keep your guard up.

I don't need your orders to do my job.

Tang Yu,

you're also responsible for protecting the Princess.

Tang Yu only listens to me.

Tonight,

you'll protect the Princess with me.

Yes, My Lady.

Everyone, rest in your rooms for now.

We'll meet in the inn's lobby at midnight.

Yes.

Let's go.

I can now confirm

that girl is the Princess.

Then,

since she's the Princess,

they must have come

for the Witch Queen's statue.

Exactly.

Although the Princess

seems uncoerced,

she has been missing for ten years,

unaware of the changes

that occurred in Nanzhao.

I worry

she might be misled

or even exploited.

Then, Landlord,

shall we try to rescue the Princess?

No, that could alert them prematurely.

Here's the plan.

After nightfall, you all prepare for an ambush.

If there's any movement,

encircle them

and resolve it all at once.

Understood. I'll prepare now.

Let's go.

Why stop?

I'm tired and need to rest a bit.

Then sit for a while.

What happened between you and Ling'er?

You can tell me now, right?

She thought

her mother was responsible for my parents' deaths.

As it turned out, it was all a misunderstanding.

Since it's a misunderstanding, you should clear it up quickly.

Were your parents heroes?

Ever since I can remember,

they've been wandering the martial world.

No wonder you aspire to be a hero.

What about you?

You want to be a heroine.

Is it because of your father?

Not exactly.

Then I'm curious.

Why not be a proper young lady

but venture into the martial world?

It's related to a hero

who saved me ten years ago.

Who?

I didn't get a clear look at him.

But since then,

I've been determined

to become a hero like him.

Now I understand

why you're so against the combat for marriage.

Now you see my dilemma, right?

As friends,

Ling'er and I

will help you find that person in your heart.

You...

But

we need to find Ling'er first.

Silly rat.

My dear guests, where are you headed?

The room was stuffy.

We wanted some fresh air.

Landlord Zhao, why the big fuss?

Mr. Shi,

I didn't expect you to become so adept

at lying after ten years.

Who are you really?

Gai Luojiao from the Witch Moon Sect.

Gai Luojiao?

You're Miss Gai, my senior?

Your senior?

Could it be you are...

Miss Gai, I'm A'nu.

A'nu? Really you?

Sure.

Seeing you is truly wonderful.

Master always mentioned you.

A'nu,

bring the Princess to me.

Ling'er, Miss Gai is one of us.

Your Highness.

I wondered who it could be.

Turns out it's General Gai.

I've long ceased to be General Gai.

You vanished from Nanzhao ten years ago,

and now you appear here.

You hid your name and lived in the desert for ten years

must be because of the Witch Queen's statue here.

Indeed, you came for her statue.

I was commanded by the Witch King.

After what happened ten years ago,

how can you still have the face

to bring the Princess for the Queen's statue?

General Gai.

Your Highness.

Is my mother's statue

truly here?

Yes.

Could you

take me to see her?

Yes, Your Highness.

But we need to plan carefully.

I have another request.

Please, command me.

Could you tell me

what exactly happened in Nanzhao

ten years ago?

General Gai, do you know,

ten years ago,

why did the Water Demon Beast suddenly appeared in Nanzhao?

Your Highness,

the Water Demon Beast was sealed

by Nuwa in ancient times.

Its appearance in Nanzhao

must be related to Bai Yue.

Why are you so sure, General Gai?

Back then, Bai Yue

slandered the Queen as a snake demon,

creating widespread controversy

in the court.

Then, the Water Demon Beast appeared,

causing floods and calamities.

Unfortunately, it's indestructible.

Only the descendants of Nuwa can seal it.

The Queen, a descendant of Nuwa,

sacrificed herself to seal the beast

to save everyone in the world,

exposing her snake form

in front of everyone

due to unleashing Nuwa's power,

and was thus

accused of being a snake demon.

By this logic,

the appearance of the Water Demon Beast

is undoubtedly linked to Bai Yue.

These people are utterly stupid.

The Queen saved them,

yet they accused her of being a snake demon.

Mr. Shi,

if what General Gai said is true,

the greatest villain in Nanzhao

should be Bai Yue.

Why

do people hate Li Sansi and his wife?

Your Highness,

I've mentioned this before.

They stole the Water Spiritual Bead,

leading to the flood.

Rumors say the Water Demon Beast grows stronger with water,

and Nanzhao was flooded,

hence the Lis were detested.

General Gai, have you heard of this?

Your Highness,

at that time, the Lady of the South and I were dispatched to the frontier.

By the time we returned,

the Queen had already sealed the Water Demon Beast.

As for the Li couple,

although we heard rumors,

I'd rather believe that all of this was Bai Yue's doing.

However, within the Nanzhao court,

there were those who turned a blind eye.

General Gai,

my views have always clashed with Bai Yue's,

and I never agreed

with his actions towards the Queen back then.

The matter of the Water Demon Beast

has yet to be linked to him by any evidence.

Even though he is my political adversary,

I cannot unjustly attribute

uncertain accusations to him.

This would not be the conduct of a righteous person.

How noble it sounds.

Then, Mr. Shi, please return.

The Princess will be better off with us from now on.

Absolutely not.

I was commanded by the Witch King to come here specifically

to bring the Princess back to court.

Back to court?

Do you intend for the Princess

to possibly repeat the tragic fate of the Queen?

You're being too arbitrary, General Gai.

The Princess holds a position of high respect, second only to the king.

Who would dare to harm her?

Oh, Mr. Shi,

you're still so naive.

Ten years ago, Bai Yue was able to slander the Queen as a demon,

and even the Witch King could do nothing about it.

In these ten years, his Moon Worship Sect has rapidly grown,

now wielding significant influence.

What if they were to repeat their tactics

and slander the Princess as a demon?

If what General Gai says is true,

with just one order from the King,

even if I have to lay down my life,

I will ensure the Princess's safety.

I believe your words,

but given the current state of the Nanzhao court,

I absolutely cannot let the Princess take such a risk.

Alright.

Whether I stay or go,

after I clarify the matter regarding my mother's statue,

I will make my own decision.
