Ling'er, are you alright?

- I'm fine. - That's great.

Yueru, where have you been?

Ling'er, what happened to you?

Miss Lin,

a Taoist priest pretending to be your friend

attacked Ling'er

and stole her Spiritual Beads.

If he wanted it, we'd give him. Why did he have to hurt Ling'er?

A Taoist priest?

Bao Pu?

Miss Lin, since you're back now,

please return the peach blossom branch to the Village Chief.

Look at the mess you've caused in the village.

If you hadn't been enchanted,

would I have had to steal?

Here.

Why is my cherry candy with you?

When did you take it?

And Ling'er's hair tie. How come it's with you too?

Yueru, what's going on here?

If such important things

get stolen again,

I won't help you find them back.

We've already wasted three days.

Let's pack up and leave this cursed place.

Weren't we just arriving yesterday?

Let's hurry and leave. I'll explain it on the way.

Fire! Fire!

Fire!

Someone come quickly!

Come and put out the fire!

Fire!

Someone come quickly!

The fire is so big.

It might burn down the entire village.

Let's hurry and leave.

They'll sort it out themselves.

You would leave them to die?

Savage girl, how can you be so heartless?

Silly rat, are you still dazed?

They're all demons.

Ling'er, let's go.

Bring more people to fight the fire!

I'm so furious with you all.

Quickly, pour water over there, over there!

Hurry!

What are we going to do?

Gods,

please save us.

Save us!

These buckets of water are useless.

There's no source of water at all.

Gods, save us!

Save us!

Save us!

The fire is out! The fire is out!

The fire is out!

The fire is out!

We're saved!

We're saved!

The fire is out!

We're saved!

Thank you for stepping in to save us.

Our Taoyuan Village

is deeply grateful.

Please

stay a few more days,

so our villagers

can properly host

and repay you.

You peach tree demon still aren't giving up?

Do you want me to shatter your soul

with this peach blossom branch?

It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!

What?

Peach tree demon?

Yes.

It was him causing trouble

and making you and Ling'er fall under a spell

and lose your senses.

You really thought this was some paradise.

After seven days,

you would have turned into peach trees like them.

Don't misunderstand us. Please don't misunderstand us!

Didn't you also like our Taoyuan Village?

Didn't you want to stay here forever?

The outside world is too dangerous.

What's wrong with staying

in our peaceful place?

Who said we wanted to stay?

You almost messed up our big plan.

Xiaoyao.

Wait! Wait!

Sir,

- please don't hurt my father. - Mr. Li,

please show mercy!

Miss Lin,

considering the little help I provided,

could you spare my father?

It was Miss A-Tao who told me about Taoyuan Village

and taught me how to save you.

Dad,

please forgive me.

I just think

that while Taoyuan Village is wonderful,

whether people want to stay

should be their own choice.

Everyone has their own aspirations.

We can't force them.

Right, Miss Zhao,

this is yours, right?

The Spiritual Beads.

Thank you, Miss A-Tao.

Miss Zhao,

though my father's actions were inappropriate,

he only wanted to keep people here.

Considering he never intended to harm anyone,

can you

forgive us?

As long as your father promises us

that he will no longer use demonic magic

to force outsiders to stay

and turn them into peach trees, that would be enough.

Dad.

You must no longer harm people.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

Everything has grown back.

It seems even better than before.

It's growing!

That's great.

A-Tao.

- A-Tao. - Xiaoyao, let's set off.

Look.

Give it to me.

You can go with them.

I don't want to leave.

You're just confused for the moment.

Give it time, and you'll regret it.

No, I won't. I won't regret it.

You go.

I only liked you momentarily

out of curiosity about outsiders.

Actually, I've been tired of you for a long time.

I don't want to see you anymore.

You staying here

will only harm us.

Master.

Have you got the peach blossom branch?

No, I haven't.

But I found something more precious

than the peach blossom branch,

the Spiritual Beads.

I've found other Spiritual Beads.

Are you sure it's a Spiritual Bead?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Although its color is not quite yours,

its size and shape are exactly the same as the Wind Spiritual Bead.

Where is the Spiritual Bead now?

Right here in Taoyuan Village,

and there seems to be more than one.

Master, may I ask

what exactly

is the Spiritual Bead?

It is said that in ancient times,

Nuwa gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth

to make five Spiritual Beads of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth

to suppress all demons.

Since then,

the power of the Five Spirits

has become the strongest spiritual force in the world.

The Five Spiritual Beads...

Take me to get the Spiritual Beads.

Sure.

Tao,

no matter what you say,

I'm not leaving.

Let's go.

Let go!

I'll escort you out. Let's go.

It's the power of Spiritual Beads.

Hand over the Spiritual Beads now,

or I will scatter your souls.

Master, the Spiritual Beads are with her.

She's in league with the peach demons here,

causing havoc among the people.

How dare you to slander us?

It doesn't matter where you demons come from,

hand over the Spiritual Beads.

I might consider sparing you.

Such arrogance!

And which demon are you,

wanting to steal our Spiritual Beads?

Master, don't waste words

on these stubborn fools.

Why do you know our Mount Shu Swordsmanship?

Why do you know our Mount Shu Swordsmanship?

Silly boy.

Regardless of whose disciple you are from Mount Shu,

if you dare collude with evil spirits,

I have a duty to kill you for our sect.

If you want to fight, let's fight.

Stop talking!

So blinded by ignorance.

Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

The Talisman of Taoist Master!

A-Tao!

Be careful!

Everyone, stop!

- Or I'll chop this peach demon! - A-Tao!

Don't move!

A-Tao!

Release her now,

and perhaps we'll spare your lives.

Fine then. In that case,

there's nothing more to say.

Everyone back off!

Back off!

You have nowhere to run.

It's not too late to release her now.

Hand over the Spiritual Beads if you want her to live.

Let us go.

- Don't ever think about it. - A-Tao!

Sir, I beg you.

Please let her go.

- Right. - Dream on.

Evil must be eradicated.

Hand over the Spiritual Beads quickly!

A-Tao!

As long as you don't harm her,

we can give you the Spiritual Beads.

Master.

Go fetch the Spiritual Beads now.

Yes.

Give me the Spiritual Beads.

Don't!

Master!

Hewen!

Hewen!

Hewen!

- Hewen! - Hewen!

Hewen!

Save him!

Mr. Li, please! save him!

Hewen!

Hewen!

Hewen, wake up!

Wake up, wake up!

Wake up!

This sword seems

to be cursed.

The Guanyin Mantra

has no effect on him.

Hewen! Hewen!

What do we do?

Father, you must have a way, right?

Please save him.

I beg you to save him.

I'll do anything if you can save him.

I'll do anything.

Now,

there's only one way.

No!

No, it can't be.

Hewen can't become a peach tree.

He can't become a peach tree.

You must have another way.

You must have another way, right?

A-Tao...

A-Tao...

A-Tao...

The peach tree.

The peach tree...

If that's the case,

you'll never be able to leave here.

I want to stay here

to be with you.

Mr. Song made such a sacrifice.

May the gods bless Mr. Song to wake up soon

and live happily ever after with Miss A-Tao.

In the eyes of Song Hewen,

this isn't a sacrifice,

but rather deep affection.

This isn't deep affection.

This is fulfillment.

Hewen!

Hewen!

Hewen!

Hewen!

A-Tao.

You've awakened.

A-Tao.

Master!

Master!

How are you, Master?

Master!

Master!

The pill...

The pill...

Master, just hold on.

I'll get the pill for you right now.

The pill...

The pill...

- You... - Master,

thank you for all the years of nurturing me.

I will not fail to live up to your expectations.

I will gather all the Spiritual Beads

and bring glory to our sect.

You...

You...

Master, thank you for entrusting me with your position.

I will avenge you.

You...

Master,

today you die at the hands of the demons.

I will avenge you

one day.

- Here's the wedding! - Wait for me!

Hurry up!

- Hurry up! - Let's go!

Wait for me!

Bow to the God of Peach Blossom.

First bow for a match made under the peach tree.

Second bow for all things to grow and people to prosper,

Third bow for favorable weather and abundant harvests.

Right.

Bow to each other.

Congratulations, congratulations!

Congratulations, congratulations!

A union joined in bliss!

May you have children soon!

Today, my daughter A-Tao and Song Hewen have become husband and wife,

united forever in heart and spirit.

Good.

- Good. - Good.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, congratulations!

- Here comes the groom. - Thank you, thank you.

Folks, thank you all.

Li Xiaoyao, if it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have leisure

to watch a wedding here.

That's just a simple demonic magic.

Even without you, I could have woken up by myself.

I think even if the whole village woke up, you wouldn't.

Savage girl,

you've learned nothing of the peace, goodness, and politeness of Taoyuan Village.

You really should think

about what you were like

when you were under the spell.

Pretty much the same as now.

Pretty much the same?

Miss Lin, Miss Lin... Who called me that?

My head would have to be kicked by a donkey to call you that.

Don't try to fool me.

Congratulations to both of you.

We should be leaving now.

Why not stay a few more days?

No, no.

Not everyone wants to turn into a peach tree

like Mr. Song.

Miss Zhao,

when you and Mr. Li get married,

be sure to let us know.

We'll definitely attend.

That's right. That's right.

Come on, come on.

Come, sir, congratulations!

- Certainly. - Congratulations, sir!

Excuse us.

Come on, come on.

Here, a toast to the Village Chief.

Come on.

Let's go drink.

I never want to come to this place again.

But I think being able to stay with someone you love

in these mountains,

away from the world,

living peacefully,

is quite enviable.

Ling'er,

then later,

once everything is settled,

we'll retire to the mountains.

Conjoined peach blossoms.

Li Xiaoyao!

What are you up to now?

Ling'er, ignore her.

Seeing her so spirited,

I bet she's definitely looking for trouble again.

Let's go.

♪Rare is the quiet in the years♪

♪Autumn winds tire of wandering♪

♪The setting sun lingers, unwilling to leave♪

What are you doing, you crazy girl?

Almost knocked us both over.

I've made my decision.

What decision?

From now on,

you'll always be my good friends, forever.

Weren't we before?

You weren't.

But you are now and will always be.

What nonsense.

Let's go, friends.

Let's roam the world together,

vanquishing demons and upholding justice.

♪Too many thoughts beyond my control♪

Oh no.

Is there another illusion in this Taoyuan Village?

The savage girl turned into a crazy girl.

Ling'er, maybe we shouldn't go with her anymore.

Xiaoyao,

in Taoyuan Village, we were the ones under the illusion.

Yueru has always been clear-headed.

Let's go, Ling'er.

♪Ancient folly and today's madness, all turn into void♪

I think these two are crazy.

Without me, what should they do?

Wait for me.

♪The road is desolate, laments left behind♪

♪Full of footsteps no one understands♪

♪When tears dry and blood fills the eyes♪

♪Falling snow turns to red♪

(Sacred Woods, Sacred Maid's Cottage)

I'm going to heal A'nu.

You may leave us.

Yes.

(Sacred Maid)

Young man,

you're awake.

Don't move.

Madam.

Is A'nu okay?

Thankfully, she was brought here in time.

Her life is saved,

but she still needs time to rest quietly.

It's good she's okay.

It's good.

Do you know you're not well?

You were drained of vital blood by the Golden Silkworm King.

You needed rest,

but you insisted on using your energy to travel for days.

This excessive strain

has severely damaged your Yin Wei Pulse.

Soon your Qiao, Dai, and Chong pulses will be damaged,

followed by damage to all your meridians.

Though I saved your life,

you will end up a wreck in endless pain.

As long as she's okay.

Only one person

could have healed you,

but it now seems

impossible.

Master!

Master, A'nu is awake.

You shouldn't be moving now.

I'm fine.

In a moment, you'll collapse.

Do you want her to see that?

A'nu,

you've been through a lot.

Master.

You're finally awake.

You were severely injured by Bai Yue and nearly died.

Thankfully, Tang Yu and I

managed to bring you back here

in time to save your life.

If it weren't for the Golden Silkworm...

If Master hadn't used the Golden Silkworm King,

you wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Thank you, Master.

Luojiao,

where are Ling'er and the others?

Tang Yu. Where's Tang Yu?

Princess Ling'er, Li Xiaoyao, and Lin Yueru

continued on their journey to find the Spiritual Beads.

I believe it won't be long

before we reunite with them in Nanzhao.

As for Tang Yu...

A'nu,

Tang Yu can't come to see you now.

Why?

He went to help me gather herbs.

Then I must go find him.

I also need to find Ling'er and join her

to continue our quest for the Five Spiritual Beads.

A'nu, listen to me carefully.

Bai Yue is cunning and treacherous,

and now his powers are vast.

So, we need to find other ways

to combat his Moon Worship Sect.

You are the hope of the Witch Moon Sect,

so you absolutely

must not come to harm.

The most important thing for you now

is to quickly recover.

This isn't just for your own sake.

Understand?

Don't worry.

Princess Ling'er has Li Xiaoyao

and Lin Yueru to protect her.

She'll be fine.

I need to return to Nanzhao first

to meet with the Witch King with the Lady of the South

and expose Bai Yue's conspiracy.

Luojiao,

are you leaving now?

I'll come back to visit you.

Luojiao,

you must also be careful yourself.

Rest now.

Have a good rest.

Have you already decided?

Master,

I secluded myself for ten years

to avoid conflict,

but with the current situation in Nanzhao,

I can no longer remain an outsider.

Everything has its causes and effects.

Do you know that Nanzhao has changed completely now?

The journey there is fraught with uncertainty.

Year by year, the blossoms are similar,

but the people are not the same.

It's said that life is like a game of chess.

We are now unavoidably involved.

If someone must sacrifice their life for this cause,

I hope that A'nu and the others can survive.

What are your plans when you return to Nanzhao?

I plan to return to the Lady of the South

and lead the soldiers to resist the Moon Worship Sect.

This might be the only force in Nanzhao

capable of counterbalancing Bai Yue now.

Master, there's something else I don't understand.

Bai Yue went to great lengths

only to destroy the Witch Queen's statue.

It seems he intentionally spared our lives.

I'm not sure what he intends by this.

This might be related

to the Water Demon Beast.

The Water Demon Beast?

I will send people to investigate this.

Tang Yu...

Master,

Mr. Shi once suspected that Tang Yu

might be connected to the Moon Worship Sect.

I have my own judgment on this.
