MA-WEI HILL

Bottoms up...!

Dear guest.

Please.

- She's yours tonight! Yeah?! - Nah... no way!

Boss, Boss, c'mon, you first. You first!

- You for real...?! - Ah, cut me some slack, Boss...

Boss? A lamb to the slaughter.

He's got a sword!

So what? I've got a sabre!

- Dear guest? - Yes?

What dishes shall you be having?

- Oh, just some basics. - Very well.

Is there an inn nearby?

Dear guest, we are in Ma-wei Hill in the middle of nowhere.

Why would we have inns? We do have a few haunted houses, though!

- Steward?! - Yes?!

- Bring the wine. - Alright!

Dear guest? Help yourself.

- You guys are up. You're on your own! - We got this!

Young sir, the road is long.

- Come sit a while. - Hey, what are you doing?

Young sir? You're so handsome, you must be a real gentleman.

Come, have a drink with me!

- I don't drink... - Come!

Kid?! Why are you hugging my wives?!

Huh? Your wives?

- No, I'm not... - I saw you doin' it!

- Hubby, he groped me! - Hubby, he touched me!

Don't you have a pair on ya?

- Brothers?! Get him! - Right!

What are you doing? Don't be rash now!

A woman?!

You love being a man so much,

my boss will show you how to be a real man!

What's the meaning of this?! Let go of me!

- Boss? Let's rape her! - Yeah, let's rape her!

- Oi, rape her! Rape her! - No! No...!

Oi, rape her!

Alright! I'll honour your request, and show you how it's done!

- Great, great... - Stick her on the table!

- Rape her! - Let go!

Rape her! Rape her!

- Rape her! - Help...!

Rape her! Rape her!

Let go...! Let go of me...!

Rape her! Rape her!

Help...!

- Rape her! Rape her! Rape her! - Help...!

- Put this on! - So you do care about me!

I told you not to follow me.

You won't know happiness with me!

It's not my fault you're my arranged fiancé!

My dad agreed to this marriage. Go marry my dad!

So you're dumping me?! Watch me die!

Hey?! You outta your mind?!

This is what I'm like. Your fault for dumping me!

Follow me if you want, then!

That changes things.

Let's go!

NIEH-YANG HOUSE

Let's head inside.

Help! Help...!

Help...!

Go away, you mongrel! Go away, you rabid mutt!

Get lost! Go away! Go away...

Please, you two! Please!

Get rid of that dog for me! Please, please, please...

Shoo! Shoo...!

Scram!

Thank you so much, you two! Thank you, thank you!

- Who are you? - Oh no! This is bad!

Ah geez... Quickly! Put me by the oil lamp!

I'll be in big trouble, otherwise! Hurry up...!

Hurry...!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you!

Quick! Shake a leg!

Thank you so much! Stand back now!

Prajnaparamita...

A demon!

Benefactor, you mustn't misunderstand! I'm not a demon, I'm a monk.

You are a monk?

Amitabha.

Devotion to Buddha is sincerity of heart.

Why should benefactor fuss over the trifles of my appearance?

I reckon the key to existence is to keep on living.

To eat, to play, to travel far and wide!

Everything else? Like I give a damn!

May I ask Master his Dharma name? Why can you grow and shrink in size?

This humble monk is Master Lamp Wick. I entered monkhood when I was only little.

I watched over the illuminated Lamp Pavilion.

Just lamps all day and night's boring as hell, am I right?

I had nobody to chat with either!

All by myself, I only had the lamps to keep me company.

I don't know if I was dreaming or not,

but one time, the lamp wicks started talking to me!

They taught me a few mantras, which make me shrink when I say 'em.

But if the lamp goes out before I revert back,

they said I'll burn by heavenly fire, my life snuffed out with the lamp's flame.

Thanks!

That's right, you haven't introduced yourselves.

Chu Chung, at your service.

- This is Liu-- - Hsia-hui.

Young Sir Chu, Young Sir Liu, a pleasure.

Master, you're too polite. Call us by name.

Hey? I'm gonna go and change.

You party down with Master, alright?

Ah... Young Sir Liu, you're pretty cheeky.

Come, we'll chat over there.

- Please. - Please.

Sit!

So, Master, what you were saying earlier...

They say life is like a lamp wick. When it's finished burning, it's gone!

Compared to the billion-year-old universe, life is damn insignificant, am I right?

Then--

Don't bother asking. When you hit my age, you'll understand.

Master? You're not hurt, are you?

Brother Chu, when were you born?

In the Year of the Wood Rat, on the ninth day of the fifth month.

Year of the Wood Rat, ninth day, fifth month...?

Were you born on the hour of the Dragon?

How did you know?!

Oh... no wonder! Congratulations, Brother Chu!

Your stars are masculine most high! A rarity amongst mortals!

- What do you mean? - I mean--

Ugh! No use explaining it to ya. Either way, you're special!

We hit it off right away.

My precious bottle of Nu Er Hong, let's crack it open together!

- Don't wander off. Wait here, alright?! - Alright.

A rarity!

A real rarity!

You damn monk!

Why are you here?!

Y-Young Sir Liu... No, no, no! Young Madam Liu?

Y-you're actually a woman?

You're shameless! Peeping on me in the bath!

I wasn't, I didn't see nothing...!

You didn't see nothing, but you know I'm a woman?!

I don't buy it...!

Miss Liu, you can't blame me! One, | didn't know you were bathing.

Two, I didn't know you're a woman.

You jerk! What kinda monk are you?! You're a dirty monk!

Oi?! Enough! Even Buddha has a temper...!

Big deal you're naked! Everything's born naked!

Ever see a chicken in clothes?! Ever see a duck in clothes?!

Amitabha.

Bodhi began without a tree. Mirror began without a stand.

If there was always nothing there, how can the dust gather firsthand...?

Save your Buddhist prattling! I'm the loser here!

You're a jerk! A jerk...!

Oh...! Miss Liu, if you feel you're the loser here,

then fine, I'll let you cop a feel, I'll let you have a squeeze! Huh?

Wanna out bluff me ?!

- Brother Chu? - Oh, Master!

I told you, don't go wandering off.

Master? I saw the immortal woman in the painting smile at me.

Ugh... Brother Chul!

Empty your mind. All fantasies are born from nothing.

A distracted mind naturally gives rise to illusions!

But what I think I saw just now didn't seem like an illusion.

Humans have the Human World. Demons have the Demon Realm.

A meeting betwixt humans and demons, an inauspicious omen.

Brother Chu... I think it's best you forget what you saw.

Huh, Master? So you're saying what I saw just now was real?!

Master?! How can I see her again?! Help me this one time!

I can't. It's much too dangerous!

I live a drifting life, nothing to tie me down. I am not afraid!

You'll die!

If I can see her just once, I will die with no regrets!

Enmity begets sin... The will of Heaven cannot be defied.

Very well. I'll help you.

But you must promise me to return within twelve hours!

Yes, I promise you!

Just this once and never again!

Now, if the incense burns out and you still haven't returned,

you shall be lost in the realm of phantasm, never to return!

Spin this dharmachakra...

while reciting this sutra to enter and exit at will.

What's more, if you encounter any danger,

throw the dharmachakra and it shall keep you safe.

- Don't forget! - Thank you, Master!

'World-honoured teacher, body of vajra, mind in nirvana, turning the Dharma,

'entering the first road of Anutpattika.'

Amitabha...

You... get your hands off me!

Quit it, you meanie...!

Eww, let go!

Young Sir Chu...

How do you know my surname?

Mine is Yun, first name Chi-meng.

My dad was a renowned numerologist.

He could divine what has come to pass and what has yet to come.

He... read my fortune, and saw that in the year I turn 17...

I meet with disaster.

Don't cry. There's nothing you can't tell me.

He saw that after the disaster, I remain in the Yin Realm of the dead,

until the time that you appear, and I become your wife.

Do not be afraid. I will not harm you.

Dad said my mortality has not come to its end,

and that upon coupling with you, I can use your Yang energy

to return to the Yang Realm of the living.

Granny...

Where is Chi-meng?

She's in the room next door.

Why was I not informed of our honoured guest?

Tonight, I will hold a banquet to welcome him most heartily.

Yes, Granny.

Namo Amitabhaya...

I beg you, beseech you, stop bonking that thing, will ya...?!

You monastic types should be happy when you hear the sutras. Why aren't you?

Ah geez...! Your reciting and bonking's kept me up all night!

I'll stop bonking if you want, if you tell me where Chu Chung is!

Alright, alright, come with me, come with me...!

C'mon, c'mon...!

Hey, where is he...?

Ugh, I keep telling ya, he went inside the wall...!

There you go telling lies again!

There, see for yourself.

How could he go inside a rock solid wall?!

I also had a look and there's nothing behind it!

You're the one who had to ask, but now you don't believe me!

- Ever heard of 'The Gates of Hell'? - What?

The Gates of Hell...?

Not really... but it's the same kinda deal!

This painting connects the Human World and the Demon Realm.

You mortals won't get it...!

Shouldn't he be back by now, though?

Well, that's hard to say.

Don't you know it's an absolute shambles out there?

Yesterday, the government scrapped a new chicken farm. Today, it's back on!

Brother Chu must think it's better in there so he hasn't come out!

Ah geez, you silly girl... I'm only pulling your leg!

He'll be back before the incense burns out for sure.

Not like he'd throw his life away, yeah?

Don't worry so much.

To go and come, to come and go!

If you're free, then be free, ain't that so?

Young Sir Chu, you have come to us from afar.

A drink in your honour, to wash away the dust of your travels.

Thank you.

- Let's have a bit of fun with him. - Goodie!

Brother-in-law, Big Sis, we drink to you!

Exchange cups already!

Big Sis? Look at Brother-in-law, his face is all red!

Young Sir Chu, after today, we shall all be one family.

- In your honour. - Very well.

Granny?

I fear my husband has drunk too much. Allow me to drink for him.

No, Granny offered it to Brother-in-law! How can Big Sis drink it for him?!

Indeed... As Granny bestowed it to me, it's only right that I drink it.

Brother-in-law, drink it up! You won't get drunk...

Well done, Brother-in-law, well done!

The wine is taking hold. I think I shall retire to my room.

- As you please. - Now, please continue your revelling.

- Brother-in-law, have another...! - Yeah, have another...!

Here... this one's from me to you.

- Drink. - Alright, I'll drink!

- This one's from me to you. - Eh?! Easy now.

- You haven't finished! - Keep going?! Alright, I'll drink.

Wow! You sure can put it back!

C'mon.

Here, have another one.

Well done!

Husband?!

Hurry up and drink...!

- Have another...! - C'mon!

- Yeah, have another one...! - You won't get drunk...!

One more! Drink...! You're no lightweight!

- Yeah, c'mon, c'mon! - One last drink...!

You alright...?

You're not hurt, are you?

Where's Chi-meng?!

What happened to Chi-meng?!

Where has she gone?! Tell me...!

Big Sis, she... she was captured by the Old Chia-yuan Devil...

We don't know if she's dead or alive, or what to do...

Where is the Old Chia-yuan Devil?! Take me there now!

This is the place.

CHIA-YUAN GOD

What wicked fiend dares destroy my golden body?!

Old demon, you ravaged these women, and also captured Chi-meng!

- Hand Chi-meng over at once! - What? What is 'Chi-meng'?!

What's with all the talk? He won't admit it!

It's you or me!

I have no enmity with you. Why did you kill me...?

You--

Your time has finally come...

How have you not yet caught on?!

I know this infatuated brother-in-law of mine is supremely masculine.

By simply using his blood, your invincible body could be destroyed,

sending you to death's door!

And so, I put on quite the performance for him.

Oh, how long have I suffered you.

You think yourself some guardian deity, forbidding us this, forbidding us that!

From now on, I am master of this domain!

Once I sup on your flesh, I can free myself from this painting,

and rule all under Heaven!

Now, allow me to send you off to the great beyond.

No!

Bring the two of them back!

Aye!

Get up!

Move...!

Move it!

- I said move it! - Move!

Maid Liu? Have a bite to eat first...!

Thank you, but I have no appetite.

You can't not eat, though...!

Master? Will he be in any danger?

Not at the moment.

But I can't say for sure in another two hours.

How come?

How one enters and exits the painting is a mystery.

The dharmachakra makes it possible... but there's a time limit involved.

When the incense burns out, the gate to the Demon Realm closes.

Then, what'll happen if he doesn't make it back out?

Oh. He'll be dilly-dallying between the realms.

He can't be a human, but he won't make it as a ghost either...!

Master, come up with a way I can go in and rescue him!

Ugh... don't even think about it...!

You're nothing but skin and bones... There'll be nothing left of you.

You don't look too good either.

I advise you to get outta here and avoid your doom!

I won't leave even if it kills me! I'll wait for him no matter what!

Sister Chi-meng? You're the best, come play with me.

Come on...!

- Come on, then! - Sheesh... quit it! Go away!

Aww... see you later.

Beat it, beat it!

Save the blood!

- Let me play, too...! - Let's not...

Why won't anyone let me play with them?

Reporting, Granny! The Chia-yuan God's hand.

After seven times seven is 49 days, I can free myself from this painting,

and rule the mortal world!

It's so leathery, how do you expect me to eat this?!

Reporting, Granny. I have prepared for you the finest wine.

- Where is it, then?! - Aye.

The wine!

Oh, Big Sis?

Granny's staring right at us.

We need to keep up an act or it'll be bad.

Come on...

- Come on... Let's play! - Leave me alone...!

- Don't be shy...! - Who wants to play with you?!

Bring Chu Chung to my room at once.

Understood.

- Granny sent me for him. - Aye.

What do you want? Using me to murder again?!

Young Sir Chu, I know I was wrong,

but if I didn't do as Granny told me to, you and I may already be dead!

You think a few words will make me trust you?

Nothing I can say will make you trust me.

That's enough! I'll help you leave.

Granny took the Dharmachakra! How can we leave?

I will get it back for you.

Why is he with you?

I... I...

Tanuki?

It was Granny who instructed Big Sis to come take him away.

- Take him away! - Aye!

Enter!

Move! C'mon!

Reporting, Granny. Chu Chung, as requested.

- Lift him onto the bed. - Aye.

Why have you two come in here?!

We came here to help Granny undress.

Now away with you!

Are you deaf?! I said away with you!

Oh, yes...

Big Sis, don't make any false moves. Wait it out for now!

Chi-meng...

Big Sis?

Don't...

What happened?!

We saw someone run off that way!

After him!

Chi-meng?!

No time for talk! I'm taking you away!

We won't make it if Granny comes back!

- You search over there. - Aye!

Run!

Big Sis?! I'll lure away Granny. You and Brother-in-law get going.

Chun-meng?!

- Seize them! - Aye!

Help me spin the dharmachakra...

World-honoured teacher, body of vajra, mind in nirvana, turning the Dharma...

entering the first road of Anutpattika...

- Hooray...! - Seize her!

Ah geez! Geez... it hurts, it hurts!

Ah geez, dammit, dammit! It's over! It's over, it's over!

It's not, it's not! He'll be back for sure!

Huh? Would you believe it? Right on time!

Brother Chu?! Brother Chu? Brother Chu, are you alright?

Master, he's burning up! What do we do?

It may have been the Chia-yuan God. This time it's over, it's over...

It's not over, Master! You have to save him!

The Chia-yuan Divine Axe is a divine relic of Heaven!

Because of its immense Yang energy, mere mortals stand no chance!

Unless...

Unless what?!

Unless we find a woman willing to forsake her virtue

to couple with Brother Chu and force his Yang energy out of his body!

Then, he might just survive.

This is awfully dangerous, though!

- I'll go save him! - Huh? You?!

Yes, I have to save him!

Alrighty...! You're okay with being taken advantage of, let's begin!

Now... the braziers are arranged in the position of the Big Dipper

to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and spirit of Heaven and Earth.

Get to it, then!

I don't know how... You show me what to do.

Huh...? You're asking a monk to show you how to do it?!

Um, give me a sec. Let me come up with something.

You have something yet...?

Ah...!I got it, I got it...!

We tonsured types have made calm our six roots.

So ordinary folks must have aroused six roots!

See if you can find a root on Brother Chu's body.

A root?

Something like this.

Ah, no, no, no! Too big, too big...

This one's about right! Got it?

I found it... So what now...?

'What now'? Ah geez, dammit, dammit! What now?

Ah, I got it!

I remember when I was still a novice,

a bunch of courtesans came for the last rites of their lady pimp!

The old abbot summoned all the monks in the temple,

saying he had a trial for all of us!

During the rite, we were all sat there,

our wooden fishes placed between our legs, squeezed real tight.

Just like this!

- Is this relevant? - Of course...!

The courtesans were all dressed real sexy, so the old abbot said,

'If your fish makes a noise, you still harbour desire.'

- So what happened? - What happened?

During the rite,

all you could hear was wooden fish beaten with a rod, gok gok gok!

Only the old abbot's one didn't make a single peep...!

We all praised his discipline at the time.

Ha! But when he stood up, his fish was stuck between his legs!

How come?

How come? His root was penetrated deep inside!

So does your body have a wooden fish?

You're terrible, you are...!

That's enough. I get it now...

You had to ask, but I'm terrible for answering?

So what did your wooden fish do?

- Let's not beat a dead fish now... - No way, spill it!

- I really have to spill it? - Yes.

Ugh... fine. Alright, listen up now.

In the end, my wooden fish...

completely exploded...!

Is it really that big...?

Why not?!

Ah, no more questions! We've got a life to save! Get naked...!

Chi-meng...?!

Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng?!

You're there. Almost there! Tighten up!

Chi-meng?!

Chi-meng...?

Ah... Brother Chu has been saved. Maid Liu, get dressed first!

- You done? - I'm done!

Why hasn't he woken up yet?

Ugh... you think you're a celestial?! He won't be better that quickly...!

Ah, that's right. How are you feeling?

I'm alright. Just a little tired.

Huh?! You're just a little tired?!

How am I supposed to be, then?

Maid Liu? You get some rest yourself.

I'll gather some medicinal herbs for him!

He'll be fine. No need to worry. Take good care of him now!

Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng?! Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng... Chi-meng?!

Chi-meng, don't leave me! Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng...?

Chi-meng?! Chi-meng, don't leave me...!

Reporting, Granny! She fainted.

- Wake her up! - As you command!

Whoever dares act upon their own designs shall meet their final curtains like her!

Stand there!

Who are you?! How are you associated with Chu Chung?!

My name is Liu Su-su! Chu Chung is my husband!

You monsters, hurting people far and wide! Let go of me right now!

Otherwise, I'll kill the lot of you!

Well... this little maiden has quite the mouth on her.

Tanuki?! Teach her a lesson!

Aye!

Hold your hand!

Will you still be so mouthy from now on? Hmm?

Take her to my chambers. I shall break her slowly.

Aye!

Granny, what about this wench Chi-meng, then?

Lock her up this instant!

Tomorrow, I shall have her with my wine!

Chi-meng...?!

Ugh, you mortals sure are a pain!

Don't love the one you can. Love the one you can't!

Almost lose your life over this lovey-dovey stuff.

Chi-meng...

Ah geez... Had to drag me into it, too!

There, good boy, good boy...! Drink...!

Where's Chi-meng?

Huh?! Master?! Where's Chi-meng?!

'Chi', my arse!

You've got no conscience at all! Still pining over that Chi-meng...

If Maid Liu didn't forsake her virtue to save you last night,

you'd still be rubbing shoulders with the Buddha!

Su-su!

- Are you alright?! - It hurts a little...

Ugh... a love triangle's trouble enough.

But breaking human—demon boundaries, too?! Kid, let's see how you get outta this.

Oh, yeah... how'd you even get into this mess?!

I was used by someone called Granny to kill the Chia-yuan God.

So did you kill him?!

I did...

We're in a real big mess now!

With old man Chia-yuan dead,

the Demon Realm will be turned upside down!

Just who is Granny?

Not who, what. She is a 1000-year-old wolf demon.

Only old man Chia-yuan could restrain her.

Ugh... Maid Liu's fate may truly be sealed.

Master, where is Su-su?!

Ugh... you don't even love her, so why bother asking?!

- Wherever she is, just let her be...! - Where has she gone?

Ugh... worldly love strikes again.

Oh, speaking of, my mum's the smart one, sending me off to become a monk.

Why are you talking crap at a time like this...?!

I'm talking crap now?!

I braved the highest peaks for these herbs for you and I'm talking crap?!

I know how noble you are! I'm just worried about Su-su, is all!

Where has she gone?!

Come with me...!

There, see? That's all that's left.

Master?!

Nuh... Count me out! Not throwing my life away!

They saved my life. If we don't go in, they're dead!

Life and death are a matter of fate! Why fight it?!

No point burying me with 'em...!

Some Buddhist you are!

Fate is inevitable, got that?!

- Hand it over! Give it! - Oi, oi, oi?! No stealing!

Oi, oi?! No fair! Oi, too rough!

- World-honoured teacher... - Oi?! Don't! Stop, stop! Oi, we'll die!

What now...?

I said I won't throw my life away! You're making me throw my life away...!

It's the truth... I wanna have more fun, eat more food.

If I die, how could I live with myself? You got me...?

Master, are we to give up on Chi-meng and Su-su?

If we die, we die together! Hold onto the dharmachakra.

What did I tell ya?! There's none so deaf--

Oi? As those who will not hear Master! Wait for me!

Namo Amitabhaya...

- Yu-meng, it's you?! - Brother-in-law, let me go first.

No...! Who knows if she's good or evil!

Humph! Who cares what you think?!

We don't have time to talk. I'll take you to rescue Big Sis.

Oi, oi, oi?!

Big Sis Chi-meng?

You're so smooth and supple, what a waste for Granny to eat you.

If you're willing to marry me, I'll beg Granny to have mercy on you!

Open the gate! Granny sent me for her!

Aye.

Oh no... let go of me, let go of me, let go of me...!

Ah geez! Forgive my sins, forgive my sins...

- Master, are you hurt? - Uh... no.

Do you know a maiden named Liu Su-su?

Sure...! She forsook her virtue to save Brother Chul!

- And this is...? - Master Lamp Wick.

Amitabha.

Maid Liu has been captured by Granny. We must rescue her. But...

But what?!

Granny ate the Chia-yuan God's flesh, increasing her powers.

- We may not be able to stop her. - We need to try!

- Follow me. - "Try'? Try means we're done for! Oi?!

- Oi, wait! - Let me go, let me go...!

Let me go! Let me go...!

Let me go...!

Help...!

Be a good little girl, and you will find this less hard to take.

No! No...!

Wait!

- Get me on the bed. - Get you on the bed?

Oh... you don't know about my supernatural ability, huh? Watch!

Take this.

Hold this.

Hold on.

Brother Chu, you mustn't let it go out. My life is in your hands!

How will we keep in contact?

Just make sure the light doesn't go out! Here...

Prajiaparamita...

Be careful...!

Who is it?!

Granny, it's me.

Oh... Come in. Come join in the fun.

Come along...

Alpha females?!

Ah geez... forgive my sins, forgive my sins.

Ah geez...!

Eww...

Why's it stink?

Ouch! Whoa...!

Yikes... When's the last time you cleaned your feet?

Eww!

Geez, it reeks!

If I won't enter this Hell, who will? You only live once!

To be a monk and wind up like me sure is a disgrace.

At this rate, my lifelong cultivation's been totally ruined... Ugh...

Ah geez... What is this?

It sure stinks in here as well! Why's it all sticky and moist?

Ah geez, it reeks...

I'll kick you to death!

Die! Die!

Take that! And that!

Chi-meng?! Are you alright?!

I'm fine. Rescue Maid Liu first!

Husband, Husband?!

Let's go!

Who are you...? Come out at once...!

Monster?! Renounce the blade and accept Buddha!

Lest your 1000-year-old Tao be undone!

Cease your prattling...

Do not think that being inside of me... I am unable to defeat you...

Have at you...

Huh?! Ah geez! Intestinal colic?! I'm a goner!

Ah geez, what a disgrace! Self-harming now?!

Chi-meng?!

Run a-- Run away! Run away...!

Let's go!

Come on!

World-honoured teacher, body of vajra, mind in nirvana, turning the Dharma,

entering the first road of Anutpattika!

Damn! The oil's run out!

Take this.

You alright?!

- Husband...?! - Husband...?!

Grab on!

Hurry up and kill that monster! Otherwise, I'm done for! hurry!

I don't wanna die in here!

If I die in here, I can't ascend to Sukhavati...!

Try burning her with fire...!

Pour in the oil!

Set it alight!

Prajiaparamita...

Prajiaparamita...

Su-su? Su-su?!

Su-su?! Are you alright, Su-su?!

- Maid Liu?! - Su-su...?

You needn't be sad...

It's only now I understand... that some things can't be forced...

Don't say things like that.

As long as you two are safe... if I do die, I can die with no regrets...

- You won't! You won't die! - Maid Liu?!

Chi-meng?! Are you alright?!

Huh?! Chi-meng?!

Yin and Yang are not the same... We were always meant to part ways.

- We won't... - Take care!

We won't!

Su-su? Su-su?!

- Su-su...? - Maid Liu?!

Su-su...?!

Maid--

Chi-meng?! Chi-meng?!

Chi-meng...?

We won't... We won't!

Chi-meng?!

Ugh... fortunately, my time has not yet come.

- Master?! - Eh, Brother Chu?

You're out already?

Has Maid Liu actually--

Ugh... Heaven's will is inevitable. Amitabha.

Master, Chi-meng is about to vanish into nothing!

Think of a way to save her!

Oh, Brother Chu, this is something you needn't worry about.

One from the Yang Realm entered the Demon Realm to die for you.

One from the Demon Realm returned to the Yang Realm to live again for you.

An ideal exchange of Yin and Yang!

Brother Chu... this is a result of your own lucky stars.

With your energy masculine most high, and your true love most sincere,

travelling between the two realms

can sustain Chi-meng's primordial essence, returning her to life.

Amitabha.

Thank you, Master!

No need...!

FILIAL PIETY

It's better being a mere mortal. It's better being a mere mortal!
