=Episode 33=

Wan'er, don't!

If the Sword Tomb loses its magical barrier,

I won't be able to protect you anymore.

Wan'er, are you alright? Are you hurt?

I don't need your pretentious protection.

The power of the King of Prison is drawing near.

Use the Seven-Star Sword against him now.

But pulling out the Sword

will dissipate your soul.

There's no time.

Pull out the Sword now.

Wan'er,

I know

you still haven't forgiven me.

In my life,

I first failed your mother

and then wronged you.

I should have

followed your mother in death.

Do you know why I didn't leave?

Because

this way I could watch over you,

protect you,

and atone for sins to your mother.

No.

Be careful!

Li Xiaoyao!

Wan'er,

the King of Prison should be arriving soon.

Let him pull out the Seven-Star Sword.

If you die,

the efforts your mother and I made years ago

will become meaningless.

Your mother's spirit in heaven

will also be restless.

Listen to me.

Father!

Father!

Wan'er.

Wan'er,

take good care of yourself.

Father!

Father!

With just this broken sword,

do you think

you can hurt me?

No!

It's not possible.

Is my father really dead?

I haven't forgiven him yet.

Miss Wan'er,

perhaps your father can't hear,

but he surely understands.

Before,

I didn't want parents.

Now, I want them,

but they are no longer here.

Miss Wan'er,

even if our parents are gone,

they will always protect us,

hoping we live safely

and joyfully.

Let's go.

I'll take you to see Ling'er.

Ling'er was locked

in the Demon Transformation Pool at the bottom of the Tower.

My Lady, don't worry.

A'nu is just overwhelmed by sadness.

Her body is not seriously harmed.

Thank you, Madam.

This

is all my fault.

General Gai died because of me

and my poor judgment.

I trusted the wrong guy.

My Lady, you needn't blame yourself.

Though Tang Yu was from the Moon Worship Sect,

his feelings towards A'nu were genuine.

I hope so.

I know the pain in your heart,

but this time,

you made the right choice.

Don't come any closer.

Through this corridor,

you can reach the lowest level of the Demon Locking Tower.

You three must have a lot to talk about

when you meet.

I need to return to the Sword Tomb.

See you next time.

Thank you, Miss Wan'er, for escorting us.

We'll go and rescue Ling'er.

It

should be returned to its rightful owner.

I'm a half-demon,

unable to wield this ancient divine sword.

This sword has been sealed for many years

and needs a worthy master.

But...

The divine sword chooses its master.

Since you pulled it out,

it means you two are fated.

I think

this is also my father's wish.

In that case,

thank you, Miss Wan'er, for your father's gift.

We'll come to find you after we rescue Ling'er.

Let's go.

One more thing.

How much do you really know

about Ling'er?

Why do you ask that, Miss Wan'er?

Ling'er

is different from you.

Different?

My father and mother truly loved each other,

but ultimately suffered a tragic end

due to their different statuses.

Now you and Ling'er are in a similar situation.

Difference statuses?

Miss Wan'er, you worry too much.

Once you see Ling'er,

you'll understand what I mean.

See you next time.

Wait a moment.

- A snake demon. - A snake demon.

I saw a snake demon on the bed.

That snake demon

seems like

Miss Zhao.

You know best in your heart

about whether you're different from humans.

According to the rules of Mount Shu,

all captured demons

are to be imprisoned within the Demon Locking Tower.

Wan'er,

did what you said just now

mean

that Ling'er

is a demon?

So, it's all true.

Li Xiaoyao.

What's wrong?

What did Miss Wan'er tell you?

Nothing, nothing.

Why are you hesitating?

- No. - Still saying no?

Forget it.

Li Xiaoyao.

Don't you understand

what Miss Wan'er was trying to say?

Of course, I do.

Wasn't she just saying

even if we rescue Ling'er,

it will be hard for us to leave the Tower?

Li Xiaoyao,

what if Ling'er

is different from

what you've seen before?

What could be different about Ling'er?

Li Xiaoyao,

if...

What if

Ling'er is

a demon?

Lin Yueru!

What are you talking about?

I mean if.

Why so many ifs?

Don't you know how Ling'er ended up in the Demon Locking Tower?

Without Ling'er,

we would have already died under the Seven-Star Sword Formation.

Others slander her as a demon,

but Ling'er considers you a good friend.

Why would you accuse her like this?

I... I didn't...

- Listen to me. - That's enough.

Li Xiaoyao, calm down.

Some things

are clearer when you're not personally involved.

Enough!

- Li Xiaoyao... - Just go.

I'm a burden to you.

Ling'er is a burden to you.

If

you feel it's inconvenient

like Miss Wan'er,

then go ahead and leave.

I just wanted to say

if...

By any chance...

I appreciate your kindness.

Alright.

In that case,

I'll leave.

Take care.

They've gone in?

Why didn't you stop them?

How could I have stopped them?

Dugu,

when Jiang went in back then,

we couldn't stop him either.

Li Xiaoyao

is a promising young man.

It's a pity.

I've seen everything in the world,

yet I've never

taken anything seriously.

There's no need to tell me

to let go.

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

Xiaoyao.

It's really you, Ling'er.

It's not me.

It's not me.

It's not me. I'm not Ling'er.

They...

They've turned you into this.

Ling'er, don't panic.

I'll rescue you right away.

Xiaoyao,

you must leave now.

Ling'er,

don't be afraid.

They've hurt you like this.

I won't let them get away with it.

Xiaoyao,

this has nothing to do with others.

What you saw earlier

was my true form.

It's not possible.

It's not possible.

Xiaoyao,

at Lin Fortress,

what you saw

was me.

It can't be.

It can't be.

It can't be.

This isn't possible.

Impossible.

I've been hiding it from you.

Ling'er,

listen to me.

No matter what you look like,

and no matter what you are,

you are Ling'er.

You are Ling'er.

Xiaoyao.

Ling'er,

listen to me.

From now on,

don't think about anything.

You don't need to think about anything.

Just remember

that no matter what happens,

I want to be with you.

Xiaoyao,

we can't be together.

You'll get into trouble because of me.

No, no.

No, I won't.

As long as you are by my side,

I'm not afraid of anything.

This is...

This is...

Xiaoyao, what's wrong?

I...

Xiaoyao.

Why does it feel like

though we've just met,

it's like long-separated lovers reuniting?

Because

if you like someone,

every encounter is a reunion

after a long separation.

Ling'er.

Ling'er,

do you know

what it means to be a hair-tied couple?

It's a tradition in our Central Plains.

During the wedding,

the couple take a strand of their hair

and tie them together,

so that they're a hair-tied couple.

So are we now.

Fairy Island...

Your grandmother...

We're married.

Xiaoyao.

Ling'er,

I've remembered everything.

I've remembered everything.

Ling'er,

you are my wife.

We are married.

♪Fireflies flickering♪

♪Wishing to drift with you♪

♪Unafraid of braving dangers♪

Ling'er,

you've always known

that we are married,

right?

♪Can we hold hands forever♪

Ling'er,

why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell me?

It's all my fault.

No.

- Ling'er. - It's not.

Now it's okay.

You are my wife,

and no one can separate us.

♪So close yet worlds apart; Do you still remember me?♪

Ling'er,

promise me

that no matter what happens,

we'll face it together,

okay?

Okay?

♪Fearing our paths might cross again♪

♪How many lifetimes do we have♪

♪How many chances to miss♪

♪Can we hold hands forever♪

♪Fighting against endless loneliness♪

♪How many lifetimes do we have♪

Anyway,

let's leave here now.

♪Can we hold hands forever♪

♪Even if we're doomed to fall♪

Yueru.

Ling'er,

I'm glad you're okay.

Silly rat,

I heard everything.

How can you forget you are married? It's so important.

What on earth is in your head?

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Of course, it's your fault.

Luckily, it's Ling'er.

If it were someone else...

Ling'er,

you made a mistake too.

You erased our memories of you,

so I had a moment

when I wanted to be with him.

But you should know

he has always liked you.

Even without his memories of you,

his feelings for you won't change.

Now it's all good.

Since you are married,

I can finally tell you

some things.

I

like this silly rat.

(Seal)

I did like him.

Savage girl,

you...

I was born in Lin Fortress

and haven't met many people.

Li Xiaoyao

is young and like-minded,

so I inevitably had feelings for him

during our constant companionship.

Before,

I knew Li Xiaoyao favored you,

but I never imagined

the twists and turns

you've been through.

Compared to that,

what does my little affection count for?

Ling'er,

Li Xiaoyao,

as your friend,

I don't want to keep any secrets from you.

Similarly,

as your friend,

I hope more than anything to see you

love each other and grow old together.

I'm a heroine

and there's nothing I can't let go.

Meeting you in this life

and wandering the martial world

with you guys

is already a great fortune.

I ask for nothing more.

Thank you, Yueru.

So,

we will be good friends forever.

We will eat,

play,

and grow old together.

Savage girl...

But I won't always be following you around.

When we were in Taoyuan Village,

I told Ling'er

that I still prefer wandering the martial world,

upholding justice,

and supporting the weak against the strong.

But I will come back often to visit you,

rest at your cottage,

and tell you about my adventures.

When I've rested enough,

I will continue on my journey.

You can all be envious then.

Alright, stop crying now.

Alright.

Don't cry anymore.

I can't believe I've said so much.

Ling'er,

it's time for us to go.

Alright.

Let's go.

(Seal)

Daring villains,

how dare you release a demon criminal?

Who's there?

King of Prison.

It was you who imprisoned Ling'er here.

You broke into the Tower,

ruined my magical barrier,

and released a demon criminal.

This cannot be justified by law.

King of Prison,

you should look at yourself.

Who really is the demon here?

You're too ignorant

to recognize a true deity.

Even if you're a deity,

you don't deserve that since you can't tell good from evil.

Even if she's a demon,

her commitment to goodness makes her a deity.

Utterly foolish.

This demoness' power is extraordinary.

If we don't kill her now,

she will bring calamity to the world.

King of Prison,

I am not a demon.

I am a descendant of Nuwa.

How dare you?

That's ridiculous.

Taoists follow Taoism, while Buddhists honor Buddha.

Where does this so-called descendant of Nuwa come from?

Just another heresy from the southern barbarians.

You call yourself a god,

yet can't recognize Nuwa.

Since I can't reason with you,

you shall perish here without a next life.

Ling'er!

Xiaoyao, now's our chance!

It's impossible.

How could I be defeated by mortals?

It's impossible!

The Wind Spiritual Bead.

No. This place is going to collapse. We need to go now!

Xiaoyao!

You guys, go!

- Savage girl! - Yueru!

Savage girl!

Yueru!

Savage girl!

Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao.

My mother wants to meet you.

Shall I take you to see her now?

Now?

I'm a bit tired.

Maybe next time.

Okay.

Then I'll go by myself.

Yueru!
