[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 27]

Let's split up and search.

Okay.

Little Spider...

All of this...

All of this is my fault.

I shouldn't have...

I shouldn't have incited the Yiqi Alliance...

to punish you.

I shouldn't have spread rumors,

called you

a scourge,

or said you were despicable.

I'm worse than a beast.

I...

I...

I deserve to die.

It's all my fault.

It's my fault...

It's my fault...

It's my fault...

I...

It's...

Qingcheng!

Stop it now!

This damned old bastard...

he finally got what he deserved.

Though his apology wasn't sincere...

the way he died was beautiful.

Unfortunately,

my sister and I will never forgive you.

Qingcheng.

Everything you did before

was just to drive a wedge between me and Young Master Fugui.

But now you're exposed.

Why did you still kill him?

Why?

Because they hurt you, Sister.

Those who hurt you must die!

Qingtong,

don't you understand?

In this world, the only person who cares about you

is me!

That's not true.

Qingcheng,

you've been possessed by the Black Fox.

That's why you've become like this.

What?

Is this the first time you've met this version of me?

Without

the Black Fox's help,

how could I have survived

that pervert's clutches in Qianji City?

Qingcheng...

Listen to me.

The Black Fox's power

will only drag you deeper and deeper.

You should expel it as soon as possible.

Expel it?

And go back to being that lowly little spider?

The spider that could only crouch in the corner,

praying for you to look my way?

No.

I'd rather die.

This is a silence talisman.

Qingcheng.

Don't make a sound later.

Just listen.

What are you going to do?

Qingcheng?

Either way...

I've lost you.

Today...

you must choose between us!

Qingcheng...

Qingcheng...

Wangquan Fugui!

Wangquan Fugui,

you don't deserve to be with Qingtong.

Today,

either you die

or I do!

Young Master Fugui.

Qingcheng,

let me out.

Black Fox,

come out!

It hurts! It hurts so much!

Sister!

Help me, Sister!

Young Master Fugui,

stop.

I'll say it one more time:

Black Fox,

get the hell out!

Sister,

are you going to leave me

and give up on me?

Sister!

Never!

Right now, the priority is

to figure out

how to expel the Black Fox from Qingcheng's body.

Wangquan Fugui,

it was I who knocked Qingtong out

and took her away.

It was I

who tried every way to stop her from finding you.

It was I who told her you were dead

to make her let go of you.

I did all of that!

Wangquan Fugui,

that's it.

Hit me.

The crueler, the better.

If Qingcheng keeps provoking Young Master Fugui,

he'll die along with the Black Fox.

The one who deserves to die is the Black Fox.

I can't abandon Qingcheng.

Qingcheng,

you've colluded with the Black Fox,

striking cruelly at humans.

You even dragged Qingtong into your schemes.

Come back with me now

and confess everything about you and the Black Fox.

Young Master Fugui.

Qingcheng was simply bewitched by the Black Fox.

Please spare his life!

Qingtong.

I never intended to kill him.

I only wanted to expel the Black Fox from his body.

But if you do that...

Qingcheng will die too.

In order to expel the Black Fox,

he'd even sacrifice himself.

Do you think he'd spare me?

Shut up!

All disciples of the alliance, listen up!

Search this place thoroughly,

inside and out!

If you find any suspicious demons,

bring them back to Wangquan Manor immediately!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Sister,

the Yiqi Alliance won't let me off.

Save me!

You're still talking nonsense.

Sister,

he'll kill me.

I'll handle the Black Fox

inside Qingcheng's body.

Why is there also a trace of power

similar to the Black Fox within Qingtong's demon power?

Junior,

this time I broke the binding spell

and left the Western Regions,

violating the Yiqi Alliance's rules.

Senior Fugui, you did nothing wrong.

Why should you be expelled?

I can't beat you anyway.

In the future, wherever you want to go...

I also won't be able to stop you.

How is the Chief?

The Master...

is doing well.

I left you a letter...

in Huntian Prison.

I've already confirmed it myself.

Actually, I also believe

that Little Spider

would never commit

such heartless, insane acts.

If she didn't do it,

we won't falsely accuse her.

Actually, it was a little black fox

that possessed her brother and did these things.

The alliance

will definitely not

let this matter rest easily.

If Qianji City doesn't hand over Qingcheng,

the alliance will never

let the matter rest.

Will the alliance

besiege the city?

Yes.

Junior.

Can you give me some time?

Okay.

Finally...

Finally, for once...

you chose me.

There's no time.

I need to expel the Black Fox from his body now.

Otherwise, Qingcheng will be in danger.

Why can't my Power of Love connect with Qingcheng's?

The power inside his body is resisting me.

Qingcheng,

you need to trust me.

I need you to

defeat the Black Fox together with me.

Sister, if you give the antidote to the Soldier,

what about you?

You promised me

you'd stay with me.

Qingcheng, listen to me.

Go to Deer Village now.

It's safe there.

Hurry up. Go!

I won't leave without you!

What a twist of fate.

The Black Fox actually exploited this opportunity.

Qingcheng,

I believe in you.

You have to believe in yourself too.

You must break free from the control of the Black Fox!

Why...

Why do you still refuse to connect with me?

Why did you cut off my Power of Love?

How am I supposed to save you like this?

So it was you who instigated that spider demon

to awaken me?

I'm Quan Jingting.

Greetings, Queen of Qianxia.

What is it

that you truly want?

Back then, Your Majesty stepped forward

and ultimately sacrificed everyone in your Qianxia Kingdom

through the Myriad Blight Formation

to slay the Berserk Dragon.

But 1,000 years have passed.

Your Majesty, do you know

which demon clan now reigns over

the Western Regions?

It's the one you hate most—

the cunning and treacherous Corsac Fox Clan,

which left your kingdom standing alone and helpless,

ultimately forcing you to

sacrifice your people.

A thousand years have passed.

Who still remembers your kingdom's sacrifice?

The peace you bought with your blood

is now being enjoyed by those traitors.

Enough.

I'm already aware of what you said.

Now that I've awakened,

I naturally won't spare

the Corsac Fox Clan or the Dragon Clan.

But I don't understand.

Madam Black Fox asked that little spider

to help me escape and get revenge.

What exactly do you want from me?

And what can you

offer me in return?

Back then,

though the Myriad Blight Formation you set up

wasn't large in scale,

it could help you obtain supreme power to kill the Berserk Dragon.

What if Your Majesty

set up the Myriad Blight Formation across the entire Western Regions

and sacrificed all beings in the region?

The power obtained

could slay 100 berserk dragons.

No!

The power obtained

would be born of tremendous hatred.

It could help Madam Black Fox take physical form overnight.

From then on, love will fade and hatred will rise in this world.

The Black Fox destroying the world—

would that appease

Your Majesty's lingering grievances?

Sounds good.

But to unseal the Myriad Blight Formation

requires the combined power of three clans

to activate it.

I wonder,

do any dragon demons still exist now?

Jin,

stop playing. Time to eat.

Today we have your favorite daylilies.

Jin?

Jin?

Master!

Master!

Master...

Master.

Can't you be a bit more composed?

Master,

the scouts report

that something is wrong with the Dragon Clan.

Go on.

Recently,

many little dragon demons have gone missing.

Their chief

has led many clansmen to the Saintess,

demanding that she deliver justice.

The Saintess of the Dragon Clan will uncover the truth.

However,

most of the descendants of the Dragon Clan are hybrids.

Their demon power is weak.

Then why abduct them?

Saintess of the Dragon Clan...

Could their target be...

Weiyun?

This is bad.

Come with me.

Let those kids go!

Don't be afraid.

It's alright.

Who exactly are you?

You don't need to know who I am.

I came to you today

for your dragon power.

You abducted those kids as bait

just to lure me out.

You're clever,

but you realized it too late.

A thousand years have passed.

The Western Regions have changed a lot.

Your Dragon Clan

still has you left—the last pure-blood.

Fine.

You're all going to die anyway.

What's your real purpose?

This is the Dream Formation I specially prepared for you.

Using dreams as a prison,

it can make you willingly

offer your True Dragon Power.

Be good and give me

your power.

Weiyun!

Weiyun!

Master, I'll go check.

Nothing.

I'm afraid...

something's already happened to Weiyun.

What's this?

A tracking talisman.

Go.

Weiyun!

Those children...

Master.

What's this?

Bound by dreams,

one's life force drains away until they perish with the dream.

This is a Dream Formation!

Dream Formation?

Such an ancient formation—

wasn't it supposed to have been lost long ago?

Dragon demons are proud and willful.

To absorb Weiyun's dragon power,

you need her consent.

But within this Dream Formation,

her consciousness won't resist.

Right now,

Weiyun is

trapped in a dream.

When her dragon power is fully drained,

that will be the moment she awakens—and dies.

What should we do now?

The only way now

is for me to enter the dream

and wake her up.

Master.

If you fail to return,

you'll just be throwing your life away.

Let's think of another way!

There's no other way!

I'll enter the formation first

to save Weiyun.

As for those young demons,

once I enter the formation,

I'll break a section of the barrier.

You must

take them away immediately.

How utterly foolish—

you actually dared to enter the formation.

Since you have a death wish,

stay trapped in the dream forever

with your Weiyun.

[Wedding]

[Dream Formation; Long Weiyun's Dream]

Ruhua.

My Lady.

Do you think

this hairpin goes well

with that lip rouge?

My Lady,

you really shouldn't worry so much.

You and your future husband

are childhood sweethearts

with deep feelings for each other.

You're a match made in heaven.

I think so too.

We're a perfect match.

Who are you?

You are...

a defiler who preys on innocent girls!

Guards...

Breaking into a maiden's chamber

in the middle of the night—

he really is a defiler.

I can lift the spell for you,

but on one condition:

no shouting or screaming.

You can take my wealth,

but not my chastity!

Weiyun,

think carefully.

You really don't remember me?

You're just a defiler.

Why should I know you?

I'm

not a defiler.

And you're not the young lady of the Long family.

I can let you go.

But first,

tell me

about your husband.

What's wrong with you?

Why should I tell you about my fiancé?

There's something wrong with me.

And when my madness strikes, I drink blood and devour raw flesh.

I especially love to

ruin the faces of beautiful girls.

You...

Don't...

Don't go mad!

Well,

that depends on how you behave.

My fiancé and I are

childhood sweethearts.

His nickname is Sigou.

He was frail as a child

and suffered from asthma.

When he was 12,

he met a soft-hearted great demon

who cured his illness.

Actually...

I didn't even like him at first.

But he was thick-skinned.

He kept following me,

calling me "Sister."

I couldn't even drive him away.

And because he was thick-skinned,

you fell for him?

Of course not.

Once, I encountered danger outside

and nearly became demonized.

He risked his life to save me

and carried me all the way back.

Although I was barely conscious in his arms,

I still had a bit of awareness.

I could hear his heartbeat.

I knew that...

he truly liked me—

so much that I was

more important to him than his own life.

So...

you're going to marry him?

Of course.

Once I marry him,

we'll live a simple,

happy life together.

Weiyun,

is this really the perfect dream

in your mind?

So I've been

in your heart all along.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I-I'm telling you,

I'd rather die than betray my husband.

So...

can you still remember

what your husband looks like?

His...

His looks...

Why is it him?

My daughter,

you wouldn't come to eat when called.

You must be hungry.

We've brought you something to eat.

Father, Mother.

I think I'm haunted by an evil spirit.

I had such a ridiculous dream.

Yun,

it's alright.

I've brought back many safety talismans.

We'll paste them all over your room.

Outside,

I've assigned extra guards to patrol in shifts.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

"All gods above,

there's a night wanderer in my home."

I-I got the wrong one.

You...

At such a crucial moment, you pull this on me.

Our daughter is getting married in two days.

You...

Why are you so unreliable?

Mother.

I'm hungry.

I want some sweet fruit soup.

Alright, alright.

I'll get it for you right away.

Yes.

Who is he?

Weiyun.

I know that...

in this dream,

you're living a happy life.

But a dream is a dream.

I'll give you real happiness.

Heaven and earth,

please let my wedding with my beloved

go smoothly today.

What happened?

Why is everyone frozen?

Ruhua.

Ruhua?

What's happening?

Weiyun.

I've come to take you away.

Who are you?

Undo your evil spell right now.

I'm warning you,

don't delay my important business.

Do you know where you are going?

Can't you tell?

I'm getting married today.

I'm going to meet my fiancé.

Where is he?

Shouldn't I be

your fiancé?

What's going on?

This man

looks exactly like my fiancé.

That person

was supposed to be me all along.

You...

How can you hear what I'm thinking?

Because

I'm the one you've been thinking about...

Quan Rumu.

You must have used some evil magic.

Fine.

Let me ask you something.

You said you and your fiancé were childhood sweethearts,

innocent companions.

Then why

can't you remember his face?

Here's another question:

you just said

I look exactly like him.

So why, when you first saw me,

didn't you recognize me?

You even said

I was a defiler.

Don't you think

something feels off about your world?

Because right now,

you're in your dream.

Every word I've said is true.

I swear it.

Be careful what you swear, or the heavens will strike you down!

Oh, right.

What is that place?

The Thunder Pool.

You don't know?

The Thunder Pool is always full of lightning and thunder,

with winds as sharp as blades.

Some say it's where demons undergo tribulation,

while others say it's where immortals ascend.

In any case, it's not a place for us mortals.

My parents always warned me

that the place is dangerous

and that we should stay far away.

Stay far from the Thunder Pool...

In her subconscious,

her parents warned her to stay away from the Thunder Pool.

Could that mean the Thunder Pool

is the weakest point in the Dream Formation?

Let's go.

We're going to the Thunder Pool.

Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

If you want to die,

go alone.

Don't drag me along.

Let go of me.

If I let go,

you'll be in danger.

You are Long Weiyun,

the one I love.

You've been harmed by someone

and trapped in a dream.

This dream is

absorbing your dragon power.

And in reality,

you're slowly dying.

The longer we stay,

the more danger

you're in.

So,

I must take you away.

[Thunder Pool]

Trust me.

You actually found the formation core.

Quan Rumu,

I really underestimated you.

But I'd like to see

how long you can hold on.

This scene...

feels so familiar.

Is that him?

Are you alright?

Weiyun,

did you remember something?

Rumu!

She's a pure-blooded dragon demon after all.

She actually managed to break free.

However,

I've absorbed enough power.

[The Core of the Myriad Blight Formation]

The spell pillar

has been infused with sufficient energy

to activate the Myriad Blight Formation in the future.

The real show is

just about to begin.

Weiyun,

you're finally awake.

Once again, I was

saved by him.

Weiyun.

Your dragon power has been greatly drained.

Let me carry you back.

Actually,

I'm the one...

who truly can't let go.

He's bound by these spiritual chains.

Are you sure nothing will go wrong?

The spell pillars in Asura Hall

are designed to absorb spiritual power.

They have abundant spiritual power.

The chains made from them

are absolutely unbreakable.

You may go.

Yes.

Qingcheng,

I'll come save you

as soon as I find a way.

You lunatic,

you nearly got me killed.

You actually put your life on the line

just to make your sister choose you.

How could you be so emotional?

I won.

The sister who will never give up on me

has returned.

You call being locked up

in this hellhole a win?

You think

Wangquan Fugui and the Wangquan family

will spare you?

Even you think I was being emotional.

Others will think so even more.

The more it seems that way,

the less likely Qingtong will abandon me.

Qingtong is Wangquan Fugui's only weakness.

He and those fools in the Yiqi Alliance

will all be trapped in this scheme of mine,

with no time to worry about the Western Regions!

Risky as it is,

I have to say

this is indeed a good move.

Of course.

I'm not a fool.

I know

a loser...

has no right to speak of love.

Your smile tells me

you've already come up with a new plan.

Relax.

I'd already set everything in motion before I left.

Everything is still under my control.
