Duan Jiuxiu, Elder Tianji

was already killed by my aunt.

Uncle Zhou,

why is he still alive?

Zhizhen,

are you all right?

(Young Zhou Zhizhen, Peiqiong Manor) I'm fine.

Pingshu is injured.

(Young Zhou Zhiqin) I'll escort her back.

Be careful.

Goodbye.

Look carefully.

Leave no one alive.

Yes.

I have

the Ziwei Method.

I am a member of the Six Sects.

How could I collude with the demonic sect?

Elder Tianji has long been dead.

Zhao,

don't listen to his slander.

At a time like this,

what is there left to hide?

When you and Elder Tianji came to me,

you said that with the Ziwei Method,

we wouldn't have to be anyone's lackey anymore

or do dirty, exhausting work.

You even said that Zhou Zhizhen wasn't better

than you in fighting or capability,

so why couldn't you become the lord?

You said

you'd unify

the Six Sects soon.

Shut up.

Mr. Zhou,

you're so foolish.

Why would Elder Tianji pass his martial arts to you?

If not to rope you in as an inside man among the Six Sects,

that old jerk

would never have survived

in the Li Sect.

How could he cultivate the Ziwei Method?

Once I leave,

I will surely report to the Chief.

Cowardly scoundrel.

Sowing discord.

Master,

didn't we agree to practice in secret?

If you report to the Chief,

we won't be able to practice anymore.

Uncle Jiu knew you harbored ulterior motives.

He had me keep an eye on you.

You really thought I fancied you

and was willing to be your deputy?

You...

Zhao,

hand over the saliva.

Our sects have been friends for generations.

You are also about to marry Yuqi.

We will be family.

Now,

I've lost my son.

You and Yuqi are my children.

We can cultivate the Ziwei Method together

and bring glory to our sects.

That way,

we won't have to be submissive

or be suppressed by other sects.

That's right, young lady.

I also admire Ms. Cai.

Once the Method is perfected,

we can go out to uphold justice.

That would not disgrace Ms. Cai's name.

Right?

Zhao?

That makes sense.

It's not impossible.

Here you go.

You're still alive.

Your lover is dead.

Of course, I'm still alive.

Uncle Jiu.

You're a junior.

I won't make things hard for you.

Hand over the saliva,

and you may leave.

Saliva in exchange for my life.

That's not a bad deal.

But this saliva

is only a little.

Is it enough for the three of you?

No matter which one of you I give it to,

the other two

will harbor hatred toward me

and want me dead.

Give it to me.

They won't dare act rashly.

I don't believe it.

Unless you kill them all.

No.

What if you fake your deaths

and escape?

Wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?

What do you want?

I want you to cut off

Zhou Zhiqin's head.

When his head is separated from his body,

I will hand over the saliva.

Cai Zhao,

have you lost your mind?

If not for you letting that damned man escape,

so many people wouldn't have died.

Go to the underworld and atone for your sins.

Elder Duan,

don't listen to her sowing discord.

As expected

of that vile Cai Pingshu,

raising such a vicious little wretch.

Fine.

Since you say that,

let's perish together.

- Wait. - No.

Let's talk it out.

Talk it out, huh?

Then will you speak properly?

From now on,

I don't want to hear a single word

disrespecting my aunt.

Uncle Jiu was just anxious.

He didn't mean to slight your aunt.

We won't say it anymore.

We won't.

Stop putting on airs before me.

If I'm unhappy,

I can let go of the saliva,

but you

must die.

Then die.

No, no.

Are you going to do it or not?

I'll count to three.

One.

Two.

Three!

Fine.

I agree.

Uncle Jiu.

Qinong,

I'm old.

I can't wait any longer.

Don't blame me.

Young lady,

there's no way out.

Hand over the saliva,

and I'll let you go.

Here you go.

You wretch. I'll kill you.

Why are you still here?

Jerk!

You're not dead?

You were waiting for me.

How would I dare die?

Impossible.

I saw you dragged away by the python.

That's true.

But the python hates heat.

When my mindful way circulates,

my whole body heats up.

So, the python let me go.

I was quite lucky.

I even met a friend.

Qian Xueshen?

Weren't you already...

He bribed Mr. Zhang and swapped identities with him.

The one who died there was Mr. Zhang.

Normally, once a person dies,

the Body Shift will end.

But the corpse was destroyed at once.

So, it was flawless,

and his scheme succeeded.

You also placed the statue

of my ancestor Gu Qingkong?

It's the Jade Statue.

Were you trying

to lure us into the ice cave

to be attacked by the python?

Why did you do this?

Because this hunting lodge

is my home.

So,

you are the son of that family.

What was that hunter's surname again?

I can't quite remember.

Tao.

If I remember correctly,

that young wife was quite pretty.

That was my aunt.

She was even pregnant.

Fifteen years ago,

you should've long been buried by the snow.

It was my father and uncle

who dug you out one by one

and brought you home to recover.

Hey, everyone.

Come and help.

- Here, Shu. - Father.

Come on.

Some wandering martial folks

were searching for treasure,

using powder and causing an avalanche.

Luckily, we heard the noise

and dug them out.

Their lives

were barely saved.

But the first thing

you did after waking up

was to silence them.

You beasts.

I'll kill you!

My child is about to be born.

Please let me go.

In this barren, freezing land,

you're so delicate and pretty.

After all, they did save us.

Why not

let them die painlessly?

What a surprise

that you'd be so compassionate.

How pretty and delicate.

Don't worry. It won't hurt.

What a sin.

Stop pretending.

Wasn't this your suggestion?

"Though they weren't part of Jianghu,"

"they often helped travelers."

"If they said something"

"and let people know a righteous sect member"

"like you were mingling with us,"

"Qingque Sect wouldn't spare you."

Now, you're pretending?

Who is it for?

If Nie Hengcheng were to learn

that you colluded with Elder Duan to secretly cultivate his skill,

do you think

he would spare you?

What did you say?

Enough.

We're on the same side.

Why argue about this?

Let's hurry and find

the saliva of the Snow-Scale Beast.

Then

what about these corpses?

Burn them all.

Save them from reincarnation.

Failing to eradicate the roots

surely brings endless trouble.

Back then,

we actually missed you.

You were only 7 or 8 years.

Alone in the snowfields,

how did you survive until now?

I met my master, Master Qianmian.

He rescued me

and taught me all my skills.

After my master died,

I returned here.

Eat, Snow.

I'll go steal some cured meat tonight.

I'll come feed you again tomorrow.

Snow,

you've grown so big already.

I spread news everywhere that the Snow-Scale Beast

had reappeared in the snow mountains,

luring the greedy ones here,

and then trapped them in the ice cave.

(Zhou Yulin, Peiqiong Manor)

You killed so many innocent people for the saliva

and even caused the death of your son.

Even if you master peerless martial arts,

what use is it?

I've always tried to lure you all here.

Unfortunately, my identity was exposed midway

and I was captured by the demonic sect.

But heaven has eyes.

Miss Cai

brought me back here,

and I finally met the enemies.

I deliberately put the saliva in your son's hands

to make you kill each other.

The saliva is yours?

That's right.

The Snow-Scale Beast did appear here.

When I was little,

my father and uncle collected quite a bit

of the saliva that dripped onto the ground.

Do you remember the bed you slept on?

Fifteen years ago,

the saliva of the Snow-Scale Beast

was in the ice chest under the bed.

You didn't have to wait for 15 years.

Take out the remaining slime.

The last beast is already dead.

What Miss Cai poured out just now

was indeed the last saliva in the world.

You're lying.

There must still be saliva.

Take out the remaining slime.

Don't.

My wounds haven't healed.

I can't win.

- We'll find a chance to leave. - Take it out.

- Leave him to later. - Take it out.

Take it out.

What is this?

This is gland fluid I extracted from the bodies

of a thousand female snakes.

Once male snakes smell it, they go mad.

No matter where you flee,

they will devour you

until death.

Qinong.

Come and help me.

Qinong.

Qian Xueshen!

I have the Ziwei Method.

I have the Ziwei Method.

Tell me.

Has Nie Zhe's Wudu Palm been perfected?

It's you.

Go, Qian Xueshen.

Why save me?

You're not a bad person.

You shouldn't die.

I'm not a bad person?

Are you blind?

I wanted to die long ago.

Qian Xueshen,

your whole family is dead except you.

When you reunite with them in the underworld,

your parents will surely be delighted.

Mu Qingyan!

The avalanche! Run!

Zhao.

Zhao.

Where is this?

Where is Qian Xueshen?

Once you woke up, you asked about him.

Why don't you think about how to repay me?

I have no money.

Just my life.

Even if you ask me to give myself to you,

at most it's one night of passion.

I won't take responsibility afterward.

♪In days gone by♪

It's fine.

♪I first saw you in the dimness♪

♪Amid the vast crowd♪

♪A fleeting glance♪

♪And then♪

One night of passion

is better than tasting

no sweetness at all.

♪Alas, we parted♪

♪Longing for your return♪

♪Moon waxes and wanes♪

♪Letters can't convey my thoughts♪

♪Scattered petals♪

♪Cover the ground♪

♪Such should be our meeting♪

♪Golden wind brushes the jade dew♪

♪Half shy, half joyful♪

♪Wanting to leave yet lingering♪

♪Such should be our meeting♪

♪Across the Magpie Bridge♪

♪Alas, peach blossoms have fallen♪

♪Tears are like pearls♪

The tri-colored peach blossoms of Luoying Valley.

So, this place has quite a connection

with your Luoying Valley.

You're awake.

The landlady?

It must have been you two who saved us.

You soaked in the Wanzai Hot Spring for quite some time.

Your injuries have healed.

Only one of his poisons remains hard to remove.

Thank you.

Sit.

Senior,

where is Qian Xueshen?

Is he all right?

He's much sturdier than you.

He woke up yesterday.

Why is that pretty boy

still alive?

This is the pattern of Luoying Valley.

Senior, are you

a descendant of my ancestor, Ms. Gu Qingkong?

This is my master's grandmaster,

your ancestor, Gu Qingkong,

Ms. Gu.

200 years ago,

Founder Beichen summoned spirit beasts from the immortal realm

to eradicate demons.

Later, martial practitioners discovered that spirit beasts were helpful.

They forgot gratitude

and slaughtered them wantonly.

Ms. Gu, to protect the spirit beasts,

stood against all martial practitioners.

But no matter how gifted she was,

she could not withstand endless human greed.

In the end,

she could only flee here with the surviving spirit beasts

and vanish without a trace.

That's our first demoness.

Independent

and exceptional.

They say your demonesses defy the world

and are intolerable to all.

Why are you so proud about it?

They were smeared because they were invincible.

No need to mind it.

Zhao is right.

Those people are simply shameless.

By the way, senior,

does the Snow-Scale Beast

still live today?

When your aunt came back then,

the last Snow-Scale Beast was already at death's door.

My aunt came here?

She also came to look for the saliva.

A masked man traveled with her.

This painting was drawn by that man.

(Uncle Zhou and Master are upright.)

(They shouldn't have worn masks.)

Why did my aunt seek the saliva,

and who was that man?

Have you known Qian Xueshen for a long time?

The Tao family often brought prey to my master and me.

Shu and I grew up together.

The inn at the foot of the mountain

was set up to avenge the Tao family.

First, to gather information.

Second,

to stop innocent people from dying senselessly.

Since you were so close to the Tao family,

then

why didn't you intervene

the night they were killed?

At that time,

I was away seeking spirit medicine for the dying Snow-Scale Beast.

I wasn't on the mountain.

The Tao family were all kind people

and saved many travelers.

Who could have expected

that this world

and the people of Jianghu

had never changed?

Where is Qian Xueshen?

Qian Xueshen.

My name is not Qian Xueshen.

My name is Tao Shu.

Miss Cai.

Mr. Mu.

Thank you for helping me avenge them.

No need to thank us.

In the end,

all sects owe you a debt.

Qian...

Shu,

is there still even a little

of the Snow-Scale Beast's saliva left?

Has the Snow-Scale Beast

left behind

anything else?

Xuegu once said

the Snow-Scale Beast seemed to have left an egg.

A Snow-Scale Beast lays eggs?

Ancient dragons reproduce by eggs.

But this egg has been laid for many years

and still refuses to hatch.

Didn't you raise Peng birds before?

You should know how to incubate eggs.

Call over your two Golden Pengs to hatch it.

My Golden Pengs are male.

Both of them?

That's too cruel of you.

I...

Peng birds and dragon beasts are natural enemies.

Dragon beasts are spiritual creatures.

If they sense danger,

they will never hatch.

Using Peng birds won't work.

My father once said

that ancient spirit beasts resonate with their masters.

They rely on recognizing blood aura

to form a bond.

Since this Snow-Scale Beast

was saved by Luoying Valley's ancestor,

and they'd lived together for years,

it must recognize that blood aura.

Perhaps

the blood aura of Luoying Valley

can awaken it.

Did your father say

how much blood is needed to raise a spirit beast?

I've been weak in blood aura.

I don't know if it'll work.

Look.

It didn't work.

That shouldn't be.

Again.

Mu Qingyan!

Look.

Dragon.

So good.

Dragon.

Spit out some saliva.

You've got nerve.

Come on.

If you don't spit out saliva,

I'll stew you into soup.

Get down here.

If you don't come down,

I'll braise you.

Don't run.

Don't run.

I'll chop you into mince

and make wonton.

Give me some.

Please.

Come on.

I'm telling you.

Behave,

or I'll kill you.

(Isn't this Grandfather's mechanism?)

It fell asleep.

So cute.

Once I get the saliva and find my master,

I'll come back to keep it company.

You complain for three days

just because a wonton has no scallions.

Someone so attached to worldly pleasures

could hardly last three days

on this cold, silent snow peak.

And you want to live here long-term?

Why say it out loud?

I selfishly forced it

to hatch.

There's only one Snow-Scale Beast in this world.

It must be very lonely.

The Snow-Scale Beast lives a very long life.

At least 200 years.

In 200 years, the world will change many times.

Maybe somewhere out there,

another of its kind will appear.

So,

we ordinary mortals

needn't rack our brains worrying

about this long-lived little creature.

You seem pretty concerned yourself.

How would I care

about a little spirit beast?

Really?

Hard work pays off.

We finally got it.

But can this thing

really counter the Body Shift?

Don't move.

Young Master,

forgive me.

Why turn me into a woman?

After taking the saliva,

it takes two hours to take effect.

What if I can't change back?

Rest assured.

You will.

I have something to do. I'll go first.

Anyway, the antidote takes two hours.

Since you have nothing to do,

do me a favor.

Whatever is in your mind,

it's impossible.

Mu.

I even borrowed these clothes for you.

Xuegu?

Senior,

Xuegu wants to ask you

why you hid your identity from her.

Qian Xueshen said you have no name

and belong to no sect.

Why do you know the Ning clan's mechanisms?

Could it be...

Is your mother well?

Uncle?

My mother said you disappeared 15 years ago.

Everyone thought you were dead.

I have been reborn.

The past

no longer counts.

Mr. Mu.

Is this the Qianmian Sect's Body Shift?

Uncle,

you even recognized him?

Xuegu and I have known each other for over ten years.

I can tell at a glance.

Mr. Ning, sharp eyes indeed.

Uncle,

my mother and great-aunt often think of you.

When do you plan to return?

I won't.

The world is dull.

My beloved matters more.

Xuegu is about to wake up.

I need to brew tea and cook congee for her.

It really works.

We can go back.

We'll depart early tomorrow morning.

Uncle warned me

not to reveal the snow mountains or his matters,

so the spirit beasts and they can have their last pure land.

Once we part,

I don't think we'll meet again.

Zhao,

would you give up everything

for the one you love?

Of course not.

As you said,

I'm attached to the bustling world.

Besides,

I haven't become the Manager yet.

How could I give up everything for someone?

What if it were for me?

For you?

I'd be even less willing.

Think about it.

The Lord of Qianmian Sect made a wrong choice

and ruined the entire sect.

The past warns the future.

I wouldn't do something that foolish.

You're right.

What about you?

Would you give up everything for someone?

I would.

I don't believe it.

There's nothing I can't give up.

As the Young Master,

you'll surely have piles of gold and silver,

wives and concubines aplenty,

fine clothes, and rich food.

You have everything to give up,

but you just can't.

Is that how you see the life

of the Young Master?

Then what is it like?

What a lousy bird,

wanting to eat a little beast.

They're natural enemies,

locked in deadly opposition

for generations.

Just like the Li Sect

and your Six Sects.

As long as you're happy.

You really aren't coming with us?

This frozen wilderness is deserted.

My uncle stayed for Xuegu.

Why are you staying?

For it.

The Snow-Scale Beast

or the Body Shift

never should have reappeared in this world.

I couldn't let go of this skin.

Consider me leaving an heir for the Tao family.

This is where my family lived for generations.

Staying here,

I feel at ease.

I'll raise the little dragon beast.

Ms. Cai.

Mr. Mu.

Meeting you both was my fortune.

All banquets must end.

Let us

part here.

Take care.

Take care.

Take care.

(May we never meet again.)

(Zhao,)

(thank you.)

(Thank you for believing in me)

(and not giving up on me.)

Come and help.

People

are both good and bad.

Even if you save just one good person,

it's worth it.

Do you understand?

Mother.

Father. Mother.

If I encounter travelers in need again,

I will still save them, just like you did.

You were never wrong.

Those who do evil are.
