[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]

[Episode 23]

Chief, you're really busy.

You don't even have the time to meet me,

the representative of Yiqi Alliance.

Dongfang Yuechu?

What?

Are you pretending that you don't know me?

Where is Elder?

You sent him to spy on me?

What are you doing?

Let go.

No.

We... have to make it clear today.

What do you want to say?

I want to say...

I...

We...

Forget it.

Let me ask you.

Since you agreed to cooperate,

why did you leave us alone?

I have my own consideration.

You have your own consideratin?

Chi Sha Bandits have entered

Huolong Valley.

There's a poisonous miasma.

What’s your plan?

Don’t worry.

I have things to do.

For Dongfang Luo,

you're being this cold to me?

Let's continue.

You brat!

You think you can hold me down with just a few small fry?

You reached a dead end, right?

I told you.

She doesn't want to see you.

What's the point of looking for her?

You don't know her.

She's just busy.

Sure.

When it comes to people one doesn't want to see,

of course they have to use the excuse of being busy.

It's not an excuse.

Think about it.

After I left,

how many people in Tushan can help Honghong?

Can she handle it alone?

Brat!

Don’t say that.

Why is there no one helping Chief?

Not only us,

even Dongfang Luo has been helping.

Dongfang Luo?

What can a nerd do?

N-Nothing.

Let's drink.

Fine.

Now that Yiqi Alliance is working with Tushan,

you'll know it sooner or later.

Right now,

Chi Sha Bandits are hiding in Huolong Valley.

To capture the evil spirits in the valley,

we must get through the poisonous miasma first.

Dongfang Luo

is trying the medicine with his body to find an antidote.

He's trying the medicine with his body?

Can he do it?

Whether he can do it,

I have no idea.

But Chief believes him.

Kid.

Listen to my advice.

Once women in this world

change their mind,

they can't wait to forget everything in the past.

Why are you so persistent to give her a hard time?

But Honghong is not an ordinary person.

Of course she's not.

She's more heartless than ordinary women.

If someone she doesn't like

keeps hanging around her,

it's like...

Like...

Just like this fly.

It's annoying.

Look.

Isn't it annoying?

I don't believe you.

You're a bad fox.

You always don't want me to get along with Honghong.

You...

She wants to forget me?

I won't let it happen.

Yuechu.

You're here.

I'm here to see you.

Not bad.

You're good at using the magic tool I gave you.

It's been all

thanks to the magic tool you gave me.

Sit down and eat a little.

No need.

I ate before I came.

Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony.

It's inconvenient for you to live here alone, right?

Not exactly.

This place may look shabby,

but with Honghong's care,

it's quite comfortable

and peaceful.

Care?

So, you caused trouble for Honghong?

Why didn't I think of that before?

Thank you for reminding me.

Tomorrow,

I'll discuss with Honghong to move to Tushan.

So that she won't have to go back and forth.

No way.

If you go discuss with her,

aren't you causing her trouble too?

How about this?

Aren't we friends?

If you need anything,

just let me know.

I'm not afraid of trouble.

What trouble?

Honghong.

Why are you here?

To see a friend.

Luo is my...

close friend, right?

Indeed.

Yuechu is passionate and loyal.

He is indeed a good friend.

Honghong, have you eaten?

Didn't you just say...

I get hungry fast.

Besides,

even the magic tool you use to cook was given by me.

You will be willing

to give me some food, right?

Of course.

Thank you.

Yuechu.

You are our guest.

Don't be shy.

Dongfang Luo.

No one will think you're a mute if you don't speak.

Why are you here?

I... I told you.

I'm here to visit my friend.

Visit?

Yes.

Luo is using his body to test medicine to capture the evil spirits.

As the representative of Yiqi Alliance,

I'm here to show my concern.

How did you know about this?

As long as I want,

nothing in Tushan can be hidden from me.

Just kidding.

Don’t take it seriously, Chief.

But regarding the medicine testing,

Yiqi Alliance is also qualified to participate in it.

It's about enough.

How do you feel today?

I feel my limbs and joints are much more relaxed.

But my chest

still feels dull.

I found that

the poison in your body is weakening.

It means this medicine does work.

But the poison hasn't been completely detoxified.

Looks like we need to continue to modify this prescription.

In that case,

it's quite useful to test the medicine with a body.

In my opinion,

Luo has low cultivation and a weak foundation.

He won't be able to take much of this testing.

How about I try it?

I'm a rough man.

What do you think?

Rest well today.

I'll take my leave.

Sure. I'm sorry for the inconvenience today.

Let's talk another day.

Wait for me.

Honghong.

What do you want?

Don't you know what I want to do?

I knew it.

Do you hate me so much just because

I'm from Yiqi Alliance?

-Listen to me– -Listen.

Tushan won't allow anyone

to destroy the cooperation between the two alliances.

Of course I know that.

You'd better know.

Also,

stay away from Twin Peaks.

If I find you

trespass places outside of the market,

don't blame me for being rude.

Divine Flame Villa?

Why are we here?

I believe

there should be two woman abductors.

Two woman abductors?

That's right.

One of them is the one you mentioned

who is shallow

and only cares about looks.

I didn't say he's shallow and only cares about looks.

It doesn't matter.

The other one is?

The other is...

the real murderer of the female disciples of Yiqi Alliance.

You knew those girls

were not killed by the woman abductor.

Why is the woman abductor still a wanted person?

Why does that matter?

They are all criminals I want to catch anyway.

You're a constable, yet you're so reckless.

No wonder you couldn't catch the culprit.

You...

I don't want to argue with you.

Anyway, when we see Fu Cheng,

we will be able to find clues

and solve the case quickly.

Fu... Fu Cheng?

The female survivor

who fought with the culprit at the prison that day

is Fu Cheng from Divine Flame Villa.

Oh no.

I met Fu Cheng before.

If she sees through me,

it will be bad.

Why aren't you moving?

What are you doing?

You're a man.

Why are you being so wishy-washy?

I...

I'm just shy.

Why?

I'm a man.

How can I enter the bedroom

of a lady who hasn't married?

It's really...

I'm shy...

Wait here.

The person who abducted me

was a fox spirit with a mask.

A fox spirit?

I've dealt with spirits before.

I can recognize the scent of the fox spirit in them.

Is there anyone else?

Anyone else?

I think...

There was another man.

Do you remember his face?

Well...

Ms. Fu.

Constable Lyu.

The doctor said,

she needs some time

to recover completely.

She can't get agitated before that.

Why don't you ask her when she gets better?

How is it, Constable Lyu?

Have you found the real murderer

and we can go capture them now?

Shut up.

What?

Didn't you say

you can solve the case after seeing Ms. Fu?

Go away!

Oh no!

The aura-dispelling pillar.

[Speak frankly]

Miss, I never break my promise.

This aura...

The woman abductor!

You've been lying to me.

So you are the woman abductor.

Yes.

I did lie to you.

But I have nothing to do with the death of those women.

I was framed.

Why didn't they frame others?

If you hadn't always deceived women,

and be notorious for that,

why would the real murderer go around

harming people in your name?

How dare you lie to me?

Saying you wanted protection.

I...

Just like you,

I want to find the real murderer.

Excuses!

Do you dare to say

you've never cheated a woman's feelings?

I...

I will arrest you today

and eliminate evil for the people.

Please forgive me for not cooperating

before the real murderer is captured.

Sorry.

Go after him!

Don't let him escape!

Yes!

Over there!

Full moon...

Although you have the talent to cultivate,

you're not good enough to practice Tushan's magic

as an outsider.

Every full moon night,

the Tushan's magic will go with the light of the pure moon.

You will also lose your power

and show your true form.

Strange.

He was here just now.

Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

I don't think he can get far.

Who are you?

Tell us your name.

So ugly.

Boss.

Look how ugly he is.

He's being all sneaky too.

He must be a bad guy.

Say something!

You're not saying anything?

You're still trying to resist in this situation?

Wait.

According to the new rules of Yiqi Alliance,

spirits who have done nothing bad,

regardless of their race appearance,

should be treated like humans.

Spirit,

we are the constables of the humans' Yiqi Alliance.

As long as you don't harm people,

we won't hurt you.

Wait!

Boss.

Even though he looks extremely ugly now,

it can't rule out that he's not Yan Rushan.

Maybe this is how

Yan Rushan really looks like.

I hid here

because the mud here

can cover my scent.

Don't come near me...

Don't come over!

He's not Yan Rushan.

The woman abductor has escaped.

That's all for today. Let's continue tomorrow.

You're still not coming out

Do you not want to see me?

Brother!

Why are you here?

Brother.

I heard that Chi Sha Bandits escaped the prison.

I was just thinking about it.

I finally found out about it.

You've murdered a few spirits here.

How can a mere Huntian Prison

trap you in?

Stop circling around me. I feel dizzy.

I'll stop.

Brother.

You should let me join Chi Sha Bandits now.

How many times have I told you?

You're not qualified enough. Stop causing trouble for me.

Go back to your hometown.

But I've been trying my best!

Trying your best?

With your qualifications,

no matter how hard you try, it'd be useless.

Here!

What is it?

Your favorite food.

Leave now.

Fine.

If you don't leave, I'll leave.

Is it because I haven't made much accomplishments

and you don't think I'm good enough

so you won't let me join Chi Sha Bandits?

Who likes to eat this?

This fool.

We ate corn all day

because we had nothing to eat.

If there are delicacies to eat everyday,

why would I eat this?

It's from your useless brother again?

Don't say that about Chi Shan.

Since you're so protective of Chi Shan,

why don't you take him with you?

We are always fighting and killing.

There's no tomorrow.

Why would I bring him along?

He may not understand

your efforts.

Chieftain Chi.

Have you thought about

what I proposed last time?

Forget about the cooperation.

Aren't you afraid that Tushan Honghong will come?

We'll run if she does.

Why don't you know something so simple?

To retreat without a fight.

Aren't you afraid of

being laughed at?

So what?

Since I was young,

I've done a lot of things like this.

It doesn't matter if it's just one more.

Dongfang Yuechu ran away from Elder

and followed you?

He seems to care about capturing the spirits,

but I think, he has another motive.

Of course he does.

I mean he must have another motive.

You have no idea.

He is

cunning.

He must be up to something asking to cooperate this time.

You seem to know him well.

I've investigated him before.

When you weren't around

and the representatives of Yiqi Alliance

came over,

I investigated his background.

For his reputation,

he can do anything.

He even made many magic tools

and distributed them to the human race.

To be able to think of using magic tools to win over people's hearts.

He's pretty ambitious.

Pretty ambitious?

He's extremely ambitious!

Sister, listen to me.

Stay away from him.

Don't let him succeed in achieving his motive.

I got it.

Go back first.

I need to go visit Dongfang Luo.

Enough.

Enough!

Honghong...

Is your remaining poison acting up?

It's fine. I'll be fine soon.

I know my own body.

It's okay.

I chose this path.

No matter how hard I suffer,

I have to endure it myself.

If it doesn't work, don't force yourself.

Let’s enter the valley first and think of other ways.

The medicine testing has been effective.

In a few more days,

the antidote will be developed successfully.

There's no rush about the antidote.

Why?

The terrain of Huolong Valley is complicated.

If we break in rashly, we'll be rendered passive.

Why don't we find another way

to lure them out?

If someone who is not afraid of the poisonous miasma

can enter the valley in advance to figure out the terrain,

it will be perfect.

This is a feasible way.

Send Yan Rushan.

He grew up in an empty mountain.

Poison does nothing to his body.

I think

this poisonous miasma won't hurt him.

That'd be the best.

[Zhizheng Hall]

Go to Huolong Valley to check the terrain.

Huolong Valley?

Boss, what else can I do for you?

Be careful.

Go and investigate quickly.

Yes.

Looks like

I can only come see you after I return from Huolong Valley.

Yan Rushan.

Who asked me to come here?

Come out.

You've improved so much.

Looks like you haven't slacked off for these three years.

♫The red leaves set us ablaze♫

Lai!

♫The snow drains our warmth♫

I'm sorry.

For keeping you waiting.

♫We keep parting and loving each other again♫

♫Living life like a dream♫

I missed you so much.

♫My heart and mind are always conflicting♫

♫I have passed by so many people♫

♫All that is left♫

♫Is my reflection in your eyes♫

You won't leave after coming back this time, right?

No.

Great.

Yuechu is back,

and you're back too.

Tushan can be lively again.

Yuechu is back?

A while ago, evil spirits escaped from Huntian Prison.

Yiqi Alliance sent him as a representative

to Tushan to capture the spirits together.

But given your sister's current condition,

they'd better not meet each other.

That's right.

So Rongrong and I have been very worried these days.

We're afraid that he'd go look for Honghong

on a whim.

Fortunately, Elder is watching.

Nothing will go wrong for the time being.

That's good.

Let me ask you.

If I forget you one day,

what would you do?

I won't let you forget me.

And I won't forget you.

Don't worry.

Even if we have to part one day,

I won't forget you.

You managed to make the antidote?

My suffering has not been in vain.

The poison in my body has been detoxified.

In the next few days,

I will go to the pharmacy

to buy more herbs that are used more in the antidote

to make more of them.

That's great.

Once Yan Rushan finds out about the terrain,

we can go to Huolong Valley to capture them.

Honghong.

Has Yuechu been pestering you recently?

How do you know?

You know.

Those flower spirits can't keep their mouths shut.

If they can tell Yuechu your whereabouts,

they can also let me know his whereabouts.

He asked the flower spirits about my whereabouts?

You don't know about this?

That was nosy of me.

But have you ever thought

why is he doing this?

Why?

Tushan is the same as before.

But Lady Fairy seems to have changed.

Black spiritual butterfly?

It's the middle of the night.

What are you doing here?

What's with that spiritual butterfly?

You're suspecting me?

I thought you were just being cold to me.

I didn't expect you to suspect me.

In that case,

why did you agree to cooperate with me?

The alliance between the two tribes is beneficial to the spirit clan.

S-So, you agreed to cooperate

for the spirit clan?

What else?

You misunderstood.

I just found that spiritual butterfly yesterday.

Do you really think I'll believe you?

What's your relationship with Nangong Shi?

Nangong Shi?

What do you mean?

Nangong Shi colluded with evil spirits and raided the Huntian Prison.

How involved were you?

What happened at Huntian Prison

has something to do with Nangong Shi?

Answer me.

Will you believe me?

Do you think if you don't speak,

I don't have a way to make you?

No matter how down and out I am,

I will never join hands with him.

He's not qualified to.

In that case,

don't blame me.

Find a way to make him speak.

You mean to use poison?

Either poison or torture's fine.

I can

use poison.

How about this?

You go back first.

Leave it to me.

You...

Get up.

Chief has left.

Tell me the truth.

Why is Honghong being like this to me?

It's fine that she distanced herself from me.

Why is she even suspecting me?

I've been with her for so many years.

So many years!

How could she turn against me so easily?

As you said,

you’ve been together for so many years.

You should know her well.

You should know that she only thinks of

Spirit Alliance and Tushan.

And Dongfang Luo.

That's right.

And Dongfang Luo.

Since you know everything,

why bring up the past

that she doesn't want to talk about?

If you keep pestering her,

of course she'd be suspicious.

So it’s my fault?

Of course.

Listen to my advice.

Now you and Chief

represent Spirit Alliance and Yiqi Alliance.

Why don't you just do your job?

As for the other things...

What about them?

There's no need to mention them.

You need to know that for a man,

to leave seemingly unaffected,

is also a way to be gentlemanly.

That may be true,

but if one day

Yaya and you come to this situation,

could you act unaffected?

We are talking about Chief and you.

Why mention me?

I should have poisoned you.

Fine.

I have something important to discuss with you.

Fu Cheng has woken up.

One of the people who abducted her that day

was a fox spirit wearing a mask.

One of the people?

You mean there are other people?

Fu Cheng was injured.

She can't remember other people's faces.

But if Nangong Shi is really involved

as Honghong said,

after Fu Cheng recovers,

we might have other discoveries.

Why are you telling me this?

I know poisoning people is not your only ability.

If there is medicine that can help Fu Cheng recover soon,

maybe we can find another way

to find the key behind the case of Huntian Prison.

You're really doing everything

to chase after me.

It's just that you shouldn't be here.

Go back now.

Cut it out.

Surrender now!

Lyu Jianwen!

Come out.

Don't get me wrong, Chieftain Chi.

I'm here to join you.

Join me?

What do you mean?

This is not a place to talk.

How about

we go in first?

She won't last any longer.

Give me the antidote.

Hurry up.

You seem quite

worried about her.

I'm worried for you.

If she dies,

she won't be of any value.

I, Lyu Jianwen,

would rather die than be threatened by you.

Yan Rushan!

Shut up!

This is not your Zhizheng Hall.

It's not up to you to act wildly.

You!

Yan Rushan,

what are you up to?

Are you satisfied

with my gift?

Did you lure her here?

Of course.

Yan Rushan,

You're working with...

You're working with Chi Lei?

So what if I am?

It's all thanks to you

for being persistent in chasing after me,

and sacrificing for the greater cause.

You want to join us?

Back then, as an outsider,

you asked Tushan Rongrong to be your master.

This has spread throughout the six realms.

How can you become an evil spirit again?

There's something you don't know.

I was wanted

by Yiqi Alliance just for flirting

with a few girls, and had to hide.

Even Tushan treated me as an evil spirit.

She wanted to expel me and leave me to the human race to be executed.

I have nowhere else to go.

I heard that you've always been loyal.

So I came to seek shelter.

If you can save me,

I will do anything

to serve you

and obey everything.
