[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]

[Episode 34]

Tushan has nothing to do with you now.

Have you barged in without permission

because you have a death wish?

Back then, what deal

did you make with my mom?

Did you save me

out of pity

or because you wanted to use Dongfang Blood

to save the Grief Tree?

I'll just be honest with you.

I made a deal with Dongfang Qinlan back then.

Tushan would protect her,

and she'd give her spiritual blood to Tushan in return.

Now that she's dead,

you, as her son, should keep the deal for her.

So the Heaven & Earth Thread isn't for protecting me.

You're worried that I'll run away

and can't be sacrificed when it's necessary, right?

That deal was made with mutual consent.

All this time,

Tushan has never forced you to do anything.

Then why did you save me when Elder tried to sacrifice me?

At this point,

do you still think I saved you?

After all that's happened,

I really regret stopping Elder that day.

It turns out…

It turns out I was wrong from the very beginning.

I was so wrong.

With the surname Dongfang

comes a price.

Why did you lie to me?

I've got used to them coming at me

and trying to kill me,

but I've never thought

all you want is just my blood too.

In this world,

everyone is wearing a mask.

It's ridiculous of you to tear the mask off

and ask people if they really care.

Don't you get it?

We all live for ourselves.

Don't

love me.

I don't want your love.

From now on,

the Yuechu who loved you is dead.

You buried him yourself.

From here on out,

we're just strangers.

Dongfang Yuechu, who truly loved Tushan Honghong,

died today.

Thank you for saving me with your heart back then.

I've sealed the remaining half

of your heart.

After all,

it's not time for you to die yet.

No matter what,

I have to protect the six realms

and protect him.

Director…

Director Dongfang?

Hu Weisheng.

Where are you going?

We agreed to go to the Grief Tree for its blessing today.

Are you having second thoughts?

No, I'm not.

Really?

Then why did you try to chase after Director Dongfang?

You got me wrong.

I just wanted to tell him

it was indeed the Ximen family who stole the Seven-Treasures Bark

and caused you tree spirits to lose your magic tool.

The Yiqi Alliance

is obliged to retrieve it for you.

So,

it was for me?

Not entirely.

I need to tell him the truth

to clear the air as well.

Aren't you afraid that he'll hold you accountable?

Well, I…

Silly, he won't.

But

getting the blessing is more important.

We can tell the director later.

You're right.

Here.

[Divine Flame Villa]

[Emptiness Magic]

After today,

Emptiness Magic won't exist anymore.

You don't have to protect me with your life again.

Where is that hatred from?

It's so intense.

Tushan Honghong?

You've let hatred into your body?

It was you who told Yuechu that Dongfang Blood

could save the tree?

No wonder you have hatred in you.

It seems that Dongfang Yuechu has fallen out with you

after knowing the truth.

Tushan Honghong,

being hated by someone who loved you feels awful, doesn't it?

You're wrong.

I let hatred into my body

to control Black Foxes.

By then, both you and I will be Black Fox Empress's right-hand women.

Between you and me,

who do you think she'll choose?

You've joined hands with Black Fox Empress?

Tushan Honghong,

Dongfang Yuechu has turned against Tushan.

Your days are numbered!

Shi Ji.

This time,

I won't let you wreak havoc on the six realms again.

Come to me.

Come to me.

Honghong.

Honghong.

Yueti Xia, the daughter of the chief of the Tree Spirit Clan,

has come to Tushan with a human called Weisheng

for matchmaking.

At this time?

Yeah.

I've told them in detail how matchmaking works.

They're now waiting for you

to perform the ritual for them.

I see.

When I walked in,

I saw black energy enter the Huguang Pavilion.

Honghong,

are you…

I'm fine.

But…

The black energy is none of your business.

Your duty is to protect Tushan.

My mom said

if a couple is truly in love,

the Grief Tree will give them Feathered Flowers as a blessing.

But

if a human and a spirit are in love,

will they get Feathered Flowers too?

I don't know.

But we'll just follow the third-ranking chief's instructions

and pray earnestly.

The Grief Tree will definitely bless us.

Let's pray.

But Chief is not here yet.

Let's do a rehearsal.

I,

Yueti Xia,

swear on 10% of my spirit power…

10% seems too little.

How about

20%?

I swear on 20% of my spirit power

that I love Hu Weisheng wholeheartedly.

I promise to love him

until death do us part.

I, Hu Weisheng, swear on…

On my…

I swear on everything I have

that I love Yueti Xia wholeheartedly.

I'll always love her

and protect her

until death do us part.

Grief Tree,

please give us Feathered Flowers

and bless us.

How touching!

Unfortunately, this Grief Tree can't bless you.

Are you alright?

Who on earth are you?

Why did you attack us?

What a fool.

How haven't you come around yet?

The tree spirit beside you

just wants

the Seven-Treasures Bark on you.

It's the tree spirits' magic tool,

and it has acknowledged you,

Hu Weisheng, as its master.

It's right on your back.

She's brought you here

because she can't take it by force

and has to trick you into loving her

so that you'll give it to her willingly.

Is what he said true?

I have

the Seven-Treasures Bark on me?

It's all because of the Seven-Treasures Bark, right?

That's not true.

Let me explain.

Yueti Xia.

Weisheng.

What have you done to her?

I just used some rootless water

to make her show her true form

and become unable to turn human again.

This scheming woman approached you

to make you fall in love with her.

Only when you're in love with her

will the Seven-Treasures Bark fall off you

and acknowledge her as its master.

You hate her guts, don't you?

How about I avenge you?

No!

It's useless.

The Seven-Treasures Bark on your back will protect you

from the heavenly lightning.

You can't protect her.

You fool.

Back off.

Impossible.

I said I'll protect her.

Okay. Then give it a try.

No!

No.

The Seven-Treasures Bark.

The Seven-Treasures Bark.

You want the Seven-Treasures Bark, right?

I'll give it to you. Take it.

No.

Go!

Go!

Tell me.

How can I give her the Seven-Treasures Bark?

Think it over.

There's only one Seven-Treasures Bark.

You have to die if you give it to her.

Are you really willing to die

for such a hypocritical liar?

No.

No matter what,

I can't let her die!

Okay.

I'll tell you.

You have to love her.

You have to love her

to make the Seven-Treasures Bark fall off you

and acknowledge her as its master.

Don't love me.

Don't.

Sorry.

I don't know how to give the Bark to you.

No.

So,

don't lie ever again, okay?

♫A coincidental meeting is like a dragonfly touching water lightly♫

♫Going through the shadows you left♫

♫Tugging on the tide of what's on my mind♫

♫My past is being displaced endlessly♫

♫I see your traces in my eyes♫

♫What's there to be afraid of the changes in fate?♫

♫Wild flowers and the wind embrace♫

♫Entangled with the world♫

♫Not letting down anything I've met with in this lifetime♫

♫Love in this vast world is fire♫

♫Burning endlessly for each other♫

♫The moon and the sea embrace♫

♫Reflecting each other's loneliness♫

♫Entangled till the end of the world♫

♫Travel through the obstruction of the clouds♫

♫To return to your embrace♫

Hu Weisheng.

So it's true that love doesn't need a reason.

♫Wild flowers and the wind embrace♫

♫Entangled with the world♫

♫Not letting down anything I've met with in this lifetime♫

I really love you.

♫Love in this vast world is fire♫

Do you hear me?

♫Burning endlessly for each other♫

Do you hear me?

♫The moon and the sea embrace♫

♫Reflecting each other's loneliness♫

I've really fallen in love with the fool you are.

♫Entangled till the end of the world♫

Do you hear me?

♫Travel through the obstruction of the clouds♫

♫To return to your embrace♫

Outside the circle, there's only hate but no love.

Is this love

that only exists in the circle?

It actually gave a coward the courage

to sacrifice his life.

Chief.

Chief.

Please save him.

Please save him.

Save him, will you?

The Black Fox called down the heavenly lightning with hatred.

I can't save him.

You…

-Don't go. -Let go of me!

Feathered Flowers.

Feathered Flowers are blooming.

Has the Grief Tree sensed their love?

Yueti Xia.

Hu Weisheng.

The Grief Tree has seen true love in you.

You two are attached now.

So what?

He'll never wake up.

He'll never know how much I love him.

The Grief Tree will make your story resume.

You'll meet him again.

Really?

Trust the Grief Tree.

Believe in love.

I have to

put an end to this as soon as possible.

No one should get hurt again.

Your plan failed?

Hu Weisheng died for Yueti Xia.

Can't believe the Black Fox henchman is fallible too.

That human loved that tree spirit

and protected her from the heavenly lightning called down by hatred.

There's no love outside the circle.

You once lived in the circle.

Do you know

what on earth love is?

Can love

really defend against the heavenly lightning?

For love,

it's hard.

But for hatred, it's so easy.

In people's blood run selfishness,

greed,

and resentment.

Every one of them is enough to arouse hatred.

In this world,

hatred

is the most powerful.

How is Tushan Honghong absorbing

the hatred in her body?

How do you know Black Fox Empress's plan?

I've been working with her for a long time.

Since we're partners, how would she hide it from me?

Hatred is increasing rapidly in Tushan Honghong.

After she's consumed by hatred

and has black Feathered Flowers all over her body,

she'll completely lose herself.

By then,

the Empress can get through the barriers

and come into the circle.

Black energy came out of the Huguang Pavilion?

Somehow,

Honghong seems reluctant to talk about it.

Besides,

her temperament has changed a lot.

No wonder I was always turned away

when I went to see her recently.

She must've accidentally fallen into Shi Ji's trap.

We have to check on her.

I advise you to leave her alone.

Lai?

You know something, don't you?

Tell us,

what's going on with Honghong?

Chief is absorbing hatred.

Only when she has enough hatred in her body

can she give orders to Black Foxes

and find a way to get rid of them.

Will hatred

affect her mind?

Yes.

When her hatred is intense enough,

her mind

is very likely to be controlled by it.

Since you already knew it,

why didn't you stop her?

Honghong has made up her mind.

No one can stop her.

I can't let her take such risks.

Stop persuading me.

Honghong.

Hatred will consume your mind. It's very dangerous.

Even if you don't care for yourself,

you have to think about humans and spirits.

Given how powerful you are,

if you lose control in the end,

the consequences will be unimaginable.

As I said,

just do your jobs.

As for the rest,

I'll take care of it.

Honghong.

Yaya and I have always listened to you,

but too much is at stake this time.

You have to tell us your plan honestly

so that Yaya and I can help you.

I'll tell you

when it's time.

Hong…

You two think

I'll be controlled by hatred

and kill innocent creatures?

No.

I believe that you'll never hurt the innocent

no matter what happens.

Since that's the case,

you should get out.

Get out!

[Divine Flame Villa]

Show yourself.

I have no patience

for people I hate.

Say what you got to say.

Then get lost.

You were hellbent on killing me whenever you met me before,

but you just asked me to leave this time.

It seems that you're grateful to me

for tipping you off.

No more crap, or I'll kill you.

As the director of the Yiqi Alliance,

aren't you curious about

how these Black Foxes entered the circle?

Don't you want to foil Tushan's plot?

I can tell you the truth.

Those Black Foxes before

entered the circle through the heart

of Tushan's Grief Tree.

It's all the conspiracy of Tushan Honghong.

She used you

to establish the Spirit Alliance step by step

and cooperate with humans.

Then she let Black Foxes ruin the cooperation.

It's because she's long coveted

the hatred that can wreak havoc on the six realms.

What are you getting at?

Work with me.

Let's get rid of Tushan and Black Foxes together.

What do you think?

You want to turn against Black Foxes?

Do you think

I'll just watch Black Fox Empress rule inside the circle?

I just want to unify the six realms.

That's all.

You said so much,

but you just want to use me

to deal with Tushan.

Think whatever you want.

But Tushan Honghong

has joined forces with Black Fox Empress.

As the director of the Yiqi Alliance,

how can you stand idly by?

Once they rule the six realms,

humans will be under their thumb.

It'll be too late then.

So what?

You've long sided with Black Fox Empress.

You can do whatever it takes to rule the six realms.

Why can't she?

Director Dongfang,

after loving Tushan Honghong for such a long time,

you find it hard to accept it.

I understand.

It's fine.

I'll give you three days.

Think carefully.

Who is your enemy,

and who is your friend?
