[Episode 10]

[Qingcheng Flower Nursery]

How fragrant.

The subtle fragrance fills the air,

soothing and refreshing!

This pot of Green Butterfly smells good too.

This pot of Four Seasons Begonia smells wonderful.

Even the ones I grow at home aren't nearly as fragrant.

Good taste!

That's right!

It's not just fragrant.

It's absolutely divine!

Furthermore, all of our flower varieties

have been carefully selected.

Not only do they fill the room with fragrance,

but they can even calm the mind and help with sleep.

Well,

that beautiful friend there must be wondering,

"Where can we buy these flowers of yours?"

So where can we buy them?

Qingcheng Flower Nursery.

That's right.

Just take our red vouchers

and come to our Qingcheng Flower Nursery.

Here, you can not only buy them

but also get a discount.

Limited quantities available, first come, first served!

Don't push! There's enough for everyone! Come one by one!

Everyone will get them!

Don't rush.

Move in a bit.

Don't push, don't push!

There's enough for everyone! One at a time!

You're quite something,

getting me to help draw in customers.

Or what?

Please, come in.

You've got serious matters to do, man.

You're starting a business here?

Look, there are so many customers,

right?

Yes, there are a lot of customers.

But what about your Flower Spirit?

Well, you need to get your Flower Spirit.

-Gu, you're here. -So many customers!

How did you do it?

Isn't business much better

than yours last time?

As your master,

either I don't do it at all,

or if I do it,

I must succeed.

What are you laughing at?

Mr. Bai?

You're here.

You're right on time.

All 100 flowers have been prepared for you.

Thank you, miss.

It's all part of our job.

Please follow me to the backyard to collect them, sir.

Alright.

Over here!

This way.

Every single stem has been handpicked with great care.

So, that is the buyer?

I hope they'll meet your standards, sir.

He's quite the handsome fellow, right?

Aren't you going to take a look?

What's it got to do with me?

Pretending not to care, aren't we?

If you won't go take a look,

then I'll go.

Everyone.

I'm truly sorry.

I usually do some small business.

But recently, I've been short on funds.

I need a few days to turn things around.

I had planned to come back in a few days,

but I urgently need these flowers.

Could I perhaps leave this ancestral jade pendant

with you as collateral?

Once I receive the payment,

I'll come back to redeem it.

Well...

This is valuable enough for you to marry two wives.

Miss Gu,

we can't tell if this jade pendant is genuine or fake.

If he's a con artist...

wouldn't we end up losing more than we gain?

But...

this young man

has handsome features with righteous bearing.

He doesn't seem to be lying.

It's the first time I've seen someone do business

based on looks.

This type of fair-skinned young gentleman

specifically targets young girls like you.

I think you look even fairer.

You are quite fair-skinned.

You're even fairer.

Grandpa,

give it to me.

Sir...

I'll trust you this once.

Thank you again, miss.

Shan Xiao.

Give them to him.

It's alright.

Go ahead, give them to him.

Give them to him.

Hurry, give them to him.

It's quite heavy.

Thank you. Thank you.

Take care, sir.

Why did he cast a glance at you?

Miss Gu,

you agreed just like that?

Mr. Lyu has brought in so many customers.

He is so arrogant.

We need to step up our game.

How about

we verify if it's genuine or not?

Might as well.

For peace of mind.

Someone with his looks

couldn't possibly offer fake jade.

Master.

I've come to visit you again.

I've brought your favorite

purple balloon flower for you.

They're especially fresh this year.

[Xiao Cao]

Nobody likes me.

Why do you always help me?

Because you are...

the best girl in the whole world.

Would you like to buy some flowers?

They're just picked and very fresh.

I'll take this bouquet. Here.

You didn't pay enough.

Do you know...

what the balloon flower symbolizes?

What is it?

"Eternal love."

It's been 1,000 years.

I've been waiting for you for 1,000 years.

Didn't you promise me

that after 1,000 years...

you would come and find me?

I can help you reunite with your master.

Who are you?

Who I am is not important.

What's important is

that I can help you revive her.

But you...

need to do something for me in return.

Master, look,

Miss Wang's

order of flowers has been delivered.

As for the flowers ordered by Mr. Li,

the payment has been settled.

Welcome back next time.

These are the flowers ordered by Mrs. Sun.

Miss Gu has returned.

How did it go?

Got scammed, right?

I've never seen

such a clever scammer.

Is it possible...

that it's not the scammer who's clever,

but that the seller

is not very smart?

You...

Just you wait!

I will definitely give everyone an explanation!

I'll find this scammer, even if it means turning the world upside down,

and make him pay back double.

I'll await your good news.

Don't be angry, Miss Gu!

We'll just earn this money back!

Yes, yes, we'll just earn it back.

No.

I must find him!

Do you still remember what that villain looks like?

Of course, I do.

Pingkang,

could you help me draw a portrait?

I want to post it all over the city.

I don't believe I can't catch that scammer.

The Floral Competition is about to begin.

You

should prepare well for it.

I will definitely prepare well for the Floral Competition.

But I also need to catch that scammer.

He's so bad.

What if he goes and cheats

other gardeners too?

I'm just looking out for others.

Please.

Fine.

I'll draw it for you.

Go ahead.

What does that person look like?

He looks...

repulsive, with a green face and protruding fangs.

His eyes are only this small,

yet his lips are that thick.

Hold on, hold on.

You must describe him truthfully.

Don't let your personal feelings affect it.

Otherwise, the portrait wouldn't look like him,

so we wouldn't be able to find the person.

Fine.

To be honest,

he looks

quite decent.

Refined.

More handsome than Lyu Gengyun.

Dressed all in white.

He's a refined gentleman, gentle as jade,

with rather large eyes too.

And also...

[Looking For This Person]

How about

we post a few more of these elsewhere?

Look.

Doesn't he look a bit like the man on it?

Yeah.

Miss Gu?

Looks like you haven't found him yet.

His portrait is all over the city now.

It's only a matter of time before I find him.

It's your first time doing business,

so getting scammed is almost inevitable.

Just consider it as paying for a lesson.

Don't take it to heart.

How can I not take it to heart?

I single-handedly caused such a huge loss

to the entire flower nursery.

That was 100 stems of purple balloon flowers.

I'll cover this loss.

-You don't need to... -No need.

Even if it's paying for a lesson,

it should be me who teaches that scammer a lesson!

I'm so pissed.

It should be me who teaches that scammer a lesson.

How dare you scam me.

I will definitely find you.

Once I find you,

I'll make you pay back thirty taels of silver.

It's him.

I'm a night-walking immortal.

Why did you drag me out here to sunbathe with you?

The weather is nice today.

Let's have a drink.

Aren't you a peony flower?

How come you're not afraid of the sun?

But I brought a parasol with me.

Gu, welcome back.

I knew it!

You're just holding onto me,

keeping me here to wait for Gu with you!

Are you tired of living?

I...

Qingcheng?

Young Master Sun is here.

You can keep him company for a while.

Have you seen Qingcheng?

No.

Have you seen Qingcheng?

Didn't she go find you?

Why are you here looking for her?

We agreed to meet at noon,

but she didn't come.

I was worried, so I came to check.

Have you seen her?

Gu Qingcheng is not one to break promises.

Disappearing without reason...

Could something have happened to her?

You're all here!

Where have you been?

I went to get the money, of course.

Now that I've got the payment,

this business deal is considered done.

You found him

and got the money back?

Well, he

is not really that bad of a person.

He really did need time to turn around his funds.

From now on, you're not allowed to act alone.

He didn't give you a hard time, did he?

No.

I'm tired. I've been busy all day.

I'm going to take a nap.

You guys chat among yourselves.

Master.

You're here.

Apricot blossom wine.

Isn't this your treasured collection?

You're willing to share it with me?

Indeed.

Well...

only by doing so can I show my sincerity.

You're being so nice today.

Of course...

I have a favor to ask of you, Master.

Out with it.

Master...

could you accompany me to

Shouyang Mountain?

Shouyang Mountain?

That's a place where many demons gather.

Why do you want to go there?

I heard that Shouyang Mountain is rich in spiritual energy.

The Floral Competition is approaching,

so I was thinking of finding some spring water

to water my flowers for the competition.

The area around Shouyang Mountain

is full of miasma and swamps.

It's too dangerous.

Master,

that's why I need you to go with me.

Master.

Just come with me...

please?

I...

will consider it.

Take your time.

Try it.

My apricot blossom wine.

Okay.

Apricot blossom wine...

Aren't you joining me?

I'll drink from this.

You're going back to Shouyang Mountain? That's so sudden.

Yes.

That's why I called you back to help me watch over the little demons.

Master, you are the son of the Demon King.

Once the Heavenly Realm notices, they will surely think

that you're returning to Shouyang Mountain to take charge of these little demons

and plan a comeback.

Didn't you leave because you didn't want to

take your position?

I will conceal my aura.

The Heavenly Realm won't know.

No.

I'm going with you.

No!

You...

Why are you here?

I... I...

I brought...

a few of

my mother's signature pastries for you.

Wushuang,

you haven't fully recovered from your injuries.

You shouldn't travel far.

Wherever my master goes, I go.

Then I'll go too.

What are you going for?

You're just a mortal. Why are you going there?

Qingcheng is also a mortal.

Why can she go and I can't?

Alright, alright, alright.

This time, we're going there

just to collect spring water.

Pingkang can come with us

if he wants to.

Come on,

try this.

Who did this?

Let go of me!

Who did this?

Let go of me!

Stop struggling.

This rope is called the Golden Lock.

Miss Gu, you're just a mortal.

You can't break free from it.

It's you.

Who are you really?

What have you done to me?

It's the Soul-Transferring Technique.

You want me to use the Soul-Transferring Technique on her?

That's right.

[Ya Zi]

Only your cat demon clan's

unique soul-transferring technique

can exchange the souls

of two people.

[Millennia-Old Cat Demon; Bai]

But I promised my master

that I wouldn't use magic to harm others.

After this year,

I'm afraid

you'll never see her again, am I right?

Wait.

If you come around,

then take this Marrow-Refining Pill.

Marrow-Refining Pill?

Once you take it,

you'll need my blood regularly

to survive.

So, you deliberately lured me here.

You're really here,

you scammer.

Give me back my flowers!

Cast the spell!

For 100 flowers,

you just...

This is not just about 100 flowers.

But still,

you shouldn't do such an evil deed.

Every Qingming Festival...

I bring her 100 purple balloon flowers.

I thought these were her favorite flowers,

so would she smell their fragrance

and come back?

Your...

master?

I've been waiting for my master for these thousand years.

Counting each balloon flower...

like counting down the days until I might see her again.

Another year has passed.

This year,

will you come back?

Qingcheng,

do you remember

what I told you?

I remember. Save 9,999 plants,

and I'll be able to see the Flowers Immortal Lord

and become a flower fairy,

just like Mom.

I understand how you feel.

I'm also counting the flowers,

wondering when...

I can see the person I want to see.

But no matter what you're up to,

you won't succeed!

My master is Lyu Gengyun.

If he finds out you've deceived us,

he'll come after you soon!

I know his reputation.

No demon doesn't know of him.

Unfortunately,

he can barely protect himself now.

No...

This way.

Everyone, keep up.

You must be overheated.

Here.

I'm not hot.

Fan for yourself.

You're sweating.

Everyone, can we walk a bit faster?

Master,

are you alright?

Perhaps it's the hot weather.

I might have a mild heatstroke.

There's water ahead.

Why don't we take a break there?

Master,

we're almost at the foot of the mountain.

Can you hold on a little longer?

Can't you see that Master is unwell?

Mr. Lyu has been injured before.

He might not have fully recovered yet.

Qingcheng,

why don't we

take a break there first?

Come on.

Easy.

This man...

is so weak.

Come on, Wushuang.

You must be tired.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Master, have some water.

Don't stay in the sun.

No need.

I'm sorry, Qingcheng.

I've delayed our journey.

Master, your health comes first.

There's a hair.

What's wrong with you?

It's the Marrow-Refining Pill.

The Marrow-Refining Pill is starting to take its toll.

What's really going on with you?

I took the Marrow-Refining Pill.

I need Ya Zi's blood.

His... his blood?

Didn't you say

that this blood could save your life?

Bite me then.

Miss Gu.

I've put you in this state...

and you're still willing to help me?

Hurry up.

No.

It's not my body anyway.

No.

Why do you say "no"?

Just hurry up and bite me!

Bite me!

It hurts so much!

Master, are you feeling better?

Much better.

I've had some water.

Then, let's hurry.

Still hot?

Watch your step.

Wushuang?

Look.

How beautiful the flower is.

Here.

Take it.

Wushuang.

Do you know

what this flower is called?

No.

The name of this flower

is the bellflower.

Its flower language...

means "infinite longing."

Originally,

I was thinking

of picking it for you.

But I didn't expect

that you'd pick it and give it to me first.

Wushuang,

I thought you knew...

Wushuang?

Wushuang.

Qingcheng!

Look!

Wushuang gave it to me.

It's nice.

Beautiful.

Qingcheng takes the greatest care in protecting flowers and plants.

I'm afraid she'll have to find a way to save it again.

Let's wait until we get to Shouyang Mountain.

This flower probably won't last until we reach Shouyang Mountain, right?

Why don't we think of a way

for Qingcheng to preserve it well?

Qingcheng,

do you have a way?

Of course,

I have a way.

The dense forest ahead

is filled with poisonous miasma.

As a mere mortal...

I might not be able to withstand it.

In that case...

should we just forget it?

What if you come with me, Master?

Of course, I will go.

I'd like to see

what you're really

up to.

No rush.

You'll find out soon enough,

Master.
