[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]

[Episode 4]

[Tushan; Spirit Market]

Cooking your own kind?

Your tastes are quite something.

Watch your words.

I'm roasting sheep.

They're unrelated with us goats.

What a difference.

Brat.

You volunteered,

so I let you come help me.

But you're shopping instead.

I'm just shocked

by the scale of the matchmaking event.

It summoned all spirit clans.

I shouldn't have brought

an ignorant guy like you.

What a disgrace to Tushan.

The event occurs once every century,

but Yaya hates it the most.

Don't provoke her.

If you make her angry,

you have to spend money to please her.

Isn't this

the spirits' most coveted festival?

Why does Yaya hate it?

How'd you feel about it

if you've never received a Feathered Flower

over centuries?

Is it funny, brat?

Yaya.

I have work to do. Bye.

Not a single one.

Why?

How does that human

live such a carefree and unruly life in Tushan?

Even the higher-ups like him.

Yuechu.

Here, my rent for this month.

Take it.

I almost forgot about you.

Good luck with your business.

Thanks.

Take care.

Even before the event's started,

so many spirits are shopping here.

When business is good,

these spirit merchants pay rent willingly.

Next one is...

You ambushed me last time

and now you're stalking me.

What do you want?

You're bullying me.

I’ll report you to Chief.

She asked me to watch you.

If you bully me, you're bullying her.

Lady Fairy sent you to follow me?

Yes.

How can Chief not guard against

a human like you living in Tushan?

Shut up!

Report me all you want.

Did you really tell him that?

Yes.

He should've known his place long ago.

To think he'd get so angry

and hit me so hard.

But it's fine that he hit me.

He even disrespected you.

How dare a human

be so arrogant and domineering?

Don't let him off this time.

Okay, I got it.

So...

That's all?

What else do you want?

At least teach him a lesson.

Are you teaching me how to be the chief?

No, I dare not.

Then why are you still here?

Yes.

I'll take my leave.

Did he take Guoguo's words to heart?

You're still the same,

hiding when you're troubled.

Are you angry?

Guoguo was hurt by humans, so he has a grudge.

I asked him to follow you

to show him the kindness and strengths of humans.

Do you think

you've done that for him?

I think...

I failed to.

Not only that,

but you even tease him often.

No.

S-Sometimes?

Sometimes.

Yes.

I admit it.

I bullied him.

I promise you.

I won't do this again, okay?

I swear.

Don't you want to join in the fun?

It's a centennial event.

It's a shame to miss it.

Let's go.

You're leaving already?

Lady Fairy.

I'll keep you company from now on.

Have a look!

The newly-launched wine

is our treasure that gets you tipsy.

It's said that

if those in love drink it

until tipsy,

they'll get earnest love

and be protected by Tushan

such that they'll never be apart,

even when in a drunken dream.

This is not only the matchmaking wine

but is also from Chief's stash.

I want one.

Me too.

Isn’t that…

Isn't that Chief?

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Let’s go.

What about the fireworks?

No.

Follow me.

Why did you bring me here?

To watch the fireworks.

What are you doing?

Keep today's happiness in mind.

Lady Fairy.

Tushan's been matchmaking for millennia.

Are there

many love stories?

Of course.

Has there been a human-spirit relationship?

I mean...

humans and spirits don't get along,

but they interact.

As for love,

it's not entirely impossible, right?

Grief Tree's fulfilled countless bonds,

with many unique situations,

but none were between

human and spirit.

All these years

and not one?

Why?

It's simple.

After shapeshifting,

though spirits resemble humans,

our habits and customs are different.

Moreover,

humans and spirits have different lifespans.

Even if they fall in love,

they can't be together forever.

I see.

Lady Fairy.

Lady Fairy?

This event's packed with spirits.

Have you arranged everything?

Don't worry.

Everything's arranged.

I heard you went to the market with Yuechu

to watch fireworks.

It's the first time you've shown interest

in this event after so long.

If you wanted to broaden Yuechu's horizon,

he could've gone alone

or you could've let other little foxes go with him.

It's not worth it for you to waste your time

like this.

What's your point?

Honghong.

Fox spirits' power comes from love.

As the chief of Tushan,

your Love Seed is frozen in Love Zone.

It'll only sprout if you fall in love,

greatly boosting your power.

But...

Yuechu's a human after all.

He's not a suitable candidate.

Besides,

-you brought him back to Tushan for... -Do you think

I'd still fall for someone

as Tushan's chief?

Honghong.

Say no more.

Go back early.

Yes.

[Love Zone]

Yuechu.

Lady Fairy.

You...

Humans and spirits have different lifespans.

Even if they fall in love,

they can't be together forever.

Why did I have such a ridiculous dream?

Honghong.

Fox spirits' power comes from love.

Your power will be greatly boosted

by falling in love.

Besides,

you brought him back to Tushan for...

Do you think

I'd still fall for someone

as Tushan's chief?

Lady Fairy.

I need your help

with something.

What is it?

The matchmaking event occurs once every century.

Since I'm lucky to come across it,

can I join in the fun

with you?

Of course.

But I have something to do.

Ask other foxes to guide you.

What are you busy with?

Grief Tree blesses

the spirits' with true love

with Feathered Flowers

while absorbing their love.

As Tushan's chief,

I must enter the tree's heart

to be the medium

to connect the Grief Tree with spirits outside.

You're entering Grief Tree's heart?

Yes.

How dare he stare at the tip of Divine Flame Villa?

I only spared him so as not to

alert anyone.

Don’t worry, Master.

If we complete Spirit Lord's mission tonight,

Tushan will suffer greatly.

Then

let alone killing that old fox,

we could even kill Tushan Honghong.

The fifteenth blood moon begins tonight.

It's when both the spirits' powers

and nightmares are strongest.

Also,

dreamcatchers woven by resentment

will draw out the deepest nightmares.

When the inner demons merge,

she'll fall into an eternal nightmare.

[Tushan]

The centennial blood moon.

The rainwater that nourishes all things.

Grief Tree's power

will aid matchmaking.

Love emerges from the heart.

Feathered Flowers will land

wherever love is.

Dear Grief Tree.

Humans and spirits are different,

but true love is boundless.

If I'd really fallen in love with Lady Fairy,

please give me a Feathered Flower

to confirm it.

What happened?

What happened?

Where are the Feathered Flowers?

What happened?

Nothing?

No Feathered Flowers?

Right.

What happened?

What happened?

Did you get it?

Me neither.

No one got it?

What's wrong?

I know.

Me neither.

What happened?

That's right.

Spirit Lord prepared this Tushan spirit aura.

It can cover up human aura.

If we disguise as Tushan spirits,

we can enter.

Congratulations, Master.

The dream pearl's made.

Hurry up.

While Tushan Honghong's in a nightmare

and Tushan's in chaos,

inject Divine Flame into Grief Tree

to burn away the suppression system she's laid before

and let resentment haunt the tree again.

Then Spirit Lord can seize Grief Tree's power.

Yes.

What about Tushan Honghong and Dongfang Yuechu?

Take this chaos

to kill Tushan Honghong

and capture Dongfang Yuechu.

As for the remaining spirits,

kill as many

as you can.

Many spirits from outside

came a long way to seek love.

If they all die in Tushan,

then...

Then Tushan

will be the spirits' enemy.

As for me, with the spiritual blood,

and as a great contributor to Yiqi Alliance,

even Wangquan Hongye

can't do anything to me.

Isn't this Elder's spiritual butterfly?

Yaya!

Why are they leaving?

Huh?

Calm down!

Calm down.

Well...

The matchmaking event

takes time.

You need to be more sincere.

You...

Follow me.

Arms up!

Okay.

Listen to me...

Dry wood won't crack.

Dry wood won't crack.

I just intercepted Elder's spiritual butterfly.

He sent a message saying

it's Jin Renfeng's plot.

They might've already entered Tushan.

No wonder Honghong's so quiet inside the tree.

Isn't she in danger?

I need to find her.

I'll go with you.

You go first.

I'll stay to pacify everyone.

Okay.

Let's go.

Bonds form under Grief Tree

with Feathered Flowers as witnesses

and the lead of red threads.

Please make your own red threads

and wait for Feathered Flowers to fall.

Why are you late even for this?

Don't slander me.

There are too many spirits here

that I was pushed out.

It wasn't easy to get in.

Brat, let's go!

Lady Fairy!

Lady Fairy.

What happened?

Dreamcatcher?

Someone's plotting

to trap her in a dream with it.

Dreamcatcher?

That's right.

It can capture

and weave her deepest nightmares

into a dream and trap her in it.

The scariest thing is

the dangers in the dream are real.

Her primordial spirit

will be hurt accordingly.

If in the dream, she...

Anyway, we've to wake her up

or she'll be trapped forever.

How can we wake her up?

When trapped in a nightmare,

one loses all five senses.

Only someone close can enter through spirit consciousness

to bring her out.

I'll go.

No way.

Dreams have hidden murderous intents.

A minor slip up

and you might die

before saving her.

I'll go.

No.

I have to go.

Why?

Now Jin Renfeng is lurking in Tushan,

waiting to deliver a fatal blow.

Only you can stop him

and protect

her primordial spirit.

Well...

Tushan's raised me for 16 years.

I'm eternally grateful.

Don't worry.

I'll bring her back.

Remember,

you can't use magic in dreams

as they'll backfire.

Also,

you must get her out when the blood moon is full.

Or you two

will be trapped in the nightmare

and never return.

Lady Fairy.

What a grand feast for the spirits!

Unfortunately,

all of this will end

in my hands.

Dongfang Yuechu

and the spirits are up next.

Oh no.

The tree's heart has changed.

There's spirit aura.

That human's saving a bird spirit.

You're also a spirit.

A fox spirit from Tushan.

Fear not.

Yiqi Alliance's men are everywhere.

Let's hide somewhere else.

Who are you?

Why should I believe you?

Because you have no choice.

Stop there!

Let's go.

Don't run!

Hurry!

Lady Fairy!

Today,

we must capture the Tushan fox spirit!

Yes!

This umbrella

can mask your spirit aura.

Let's go.

I'll take you to avoid the Yiqi spies

and leave from the mountain path.

You are a human,

and I'm a spirit?

Yes.

Not all are the same.

There are evil humans

and kind spirits too.

Lady Fairy.

No matter who he is,

don't listen to him.

Wake up and go back with me.

Leave here now.

Lady Fairy!

Get her out when the blood moon is full.

Or you two

will be trapped in the nightmare

and never return.

Lady Fairy!

Lady Fairy!

Don't go with him!

Tushan Honghong!

Let's go.

They're coming.

Someone's calling me.

Lady Fairy.

Come on.

Lady Fairy, I'll take you back.

Dongfang Yuechu?

Why's he in there?

No wonder the tree's heart has changed.

That wretch again.

How stupid is he

to save that fox with his life?

Lady Fairy.

This is a dream. Wake up.

Don't let them hurt you.

Lady Fairy!

Remember,

you can't use magic in dreams,

as they'll backfire.

Yuechu?

Lady...

Fairy.

It's Chief!

Here comes our Feathered Flowers!

Yes.

Chief's really something.

Bonds formed under Grief Tree

will be protected by Tushan,

overcome all obstacles,

and never forgotten.

I got it.

I got a Feathered Flower!

Look.

I got a flower.

Look, Guoguo!

It's been so long.

Where's Yaya?

Why are you always yapping

about Yaya?

What's between you two?

Could it be...

you have a crush on her?

You're so nosy!

Right?

Congratulations to those who got a flower.

Those who didn't get one,

don't be discouraged.

Ask for it again in 100 years.

I got a flower.

Look.

Why isn't Yaya here?

That's right.

I just fought

Jin Renfeng with Lady Fairy a few times.

It can't be love.

Lady Fairy.

No.

Your power's been exhausted in Grief Tree's heart.

Don't waste more on me.

Don't refuse it.

From now on,

no matter what happens,

you must take care of yourself.

Don't take risks.

Don't get hurt.

Okay.

Besides saving you,

I won't let myself take risks.

Not even for saving me.

You're not fully healed,

but you're fine now.

I wonder how Yaya's doing.

Yaya found Jin Renfeng at the back mountain.

This time,

we can't let him go no matter what.

Jin Renfeng

chose to attack Tushan during

the matchmaking event,

which means

he has more tricks up his sleeve.

What do you mean?

No matter what,

Grief Tree just helped with matchmaking.

Its power's still unstable.

Why don't you go help Yaya?

I'll guard Grief Tree.

Okay.

Take care.

Master, what now?

Ignite the Dark Force

and complete Spirit Lord's mission.

How dare you...

break into Tushan!

Retreat!

How dare you provoke Tushan!

You've got some nerve!

Lady Fairy's in danger.

Honghong.

I knew it.

The target's still Grief Tree.

Some spirit power is absorbing Grief Tree's power.

You

can't escape!

Darn it. He got away again.

What power was that?

Whatever.

Let's go save Lady Fairy.

[Lai]
