(Moonlit Reunion)

(Episode 36)

(The Mei's Tea House)

Zhu Yu.

Mother.

Zhu Yu.

Mother.

Zhu Yu.

Mother.

Mother.

What happened to my mother?

It's fine.

Zhu Yu.

Everything will pass.

(Former Cat Lord)

Who are you?

Father!

(I didn't expect)

(Father to be the Cat Lord.)

(It's even more surprising)

(that this is the truth of what happened 18 years ago.)

Boss!

Lady Wu Zhen.

You are awake.

Where is he?

It seems like Lady Wu Zhen has recovered.

Are all of you gathering here

to wait for me?

I...

Lady Wu Zhen, please let him examine you.

Lady Wu Zhen has finally recovered.

Changxi Palace is capable indeed.

You could even treat the demonic ulcers.

I should thank you...

It's not really Changxi Palace's contribution.

It's because you are blessed, Lady Wu Zhen.

We invited Lady Hu Zhu

but we didn't expect you

to be asleep for three whole days, Lady Wu Zhen.

He has helped me a lot.

I should thank him in person.

Brother Mei knew

your memory would return.

He was afraid that you might hate him when you woke up.

He said he knew what was best for him

so he left.

Lady Wu Zhen.

Lady Wu Zhen, please wait.

I heard you came to this archive

when you lost your memory.

You joked and said you wanted to learn both the ways of Taoists and Demons.

This Changxi Heart Calming Manual can be used to calm one's heart.

It won't conflict with demonic powers.

Lady Wu Zhen, you just recovered

and need to regulate your body internally.

This might be able to help you.

Thank you.

Read and learn slowly.

Is that ugly thing yours?

I won against Brother Xiao Mu once.

Master made this clay doll for me

as a reward.

Now that I look at it closely, it's quite cute.

Since Lady Hu Zhu came here,

you haven't had time to take a good look around this place.

Now that Boss is awake,

I'm very happy.

I think Changxi Palace is on par with Demon City.

Have you been doing well recently?

When Boss wasn't around,

I was busy at Demon City.

I neglected matters at Ruyi Pavilion.

Revenue has dropped a lot in the last two weeks.

Business at Ruyi Pavilion is good.

A small loss isn't anything important.

What do you mean?

I'm going to be the richest person in Chang'an.

It hurts me to lose even a coin.

Yes. You are right, Lady Hu Zhu.

When it comes to making money,

Lady Wu Zhu is the best.

You are ambitious.

I'm sure your wish can be fulfilled, Lady Hu Zhu.

I wonder if you will become a great hero

when I become the richest person in Chang'an, Master Shuang Jiang.

I...

I'll do my best.

You're lacking in confidence.

Actually, I know.

I joined Changxi Palace the latest among the members

and my cultivation is only average.

Becoming a great hero

is just a pipe dream.

However, I will always imagine

that it will happen one day.

I want to be a great hero who's free and unrestrained,

brave enough to love and hate, and help everyone in the world.

A cultivator must first cultivate his heart.

Since you have the intention,

just do it according to your wish.

Ignore what others think.

There's nothing to worry about.

Thank you for your guidance.

In that case, why don't I give you a gift?

What is it?

Is this

gold?

Looking at the color, it looks like gold from the previous dynasty.

You are sharp.

However, you should take a closer look, Lady Hu Zhu.

A gold spirit?

During the war,

rich families from the previous dynasty

buried their treasures in the mountains.

Sometimes, they forget where they buried them

and they turn into spirits after a long time.

Two days ago, I found it when I was checking the accounts.

It is good at hiding.

Stand up. Stand up.

Stand up!

Don't bully it.

My gold!

- Over here. - Come back, my gold!

(How did I...)

Lady Wu Zhen, you picked it up.

This guy is playing dead again.

Boss, this isn't a gold ingot. It is a gold spirit.

Shuang Jiang is giving it to us to bring back to Demon City.

Lady Hu Zhu, remember to teach him a lesson

when you return to Demon City.

I understand.

Boss.

Have you packed your bags?

We should leave now.

I've disturbed all of you for so long.

There's no need to be polite, Lady Wu Zhen.

Let's go.

Boss.

Why aren't we waiting for Mr. Mei?

I think we have something more important to do.

Snakes in the city! Be careful when you're in your residences!

Young Lady, take a look at this basket.

Snakes in the city! Be careful when you're in your residences!

Snakes in the city! Be careful when you're in your residences!

Snakes in the city! Be careful when you're in your residences!

Snakes in the city! Be careful when you're in your residences!

It's winter.

Why are there snakes in Chang'an?

You know nothing.

I've been chasing after a large snake to this place.

Last night,

it was foggy

and I lost it.

Are you serious?

Of course.

If it goes into my house,

what should I do?

Yes. We have women and old people in our residences.

Everyone, calm down.

I brought a lot of sulfur.

All of you can burn it in your houses

to repel snakes.

- Do we need to pay for your sulfur? - No.

They are for you to repel the snakes.

- I want it. - Give me a bag.

- Give me a bag. - Me too.

- Come and get it. - My residence is big.

You have a big residence, take two bags.

Come here. Don't rush.

Don't rush.

You must burn it around your residence.

Waiter!

Fourth Master Mei, you're awake. Do you want some food?

Sure.

Manager!

Why is it so noisy outside?

Is there a ghost?

No. There's a snake.

What?

A snake.

They say there are snakes in Chang'an.

All of them are buying sulfur from the snake catcher.

It is noisy in the whole city from east to west.

Reasonably speaking,

it's winter now.

Snakes should be hibernating.

However, burning some sulfur isn't bad.

The new year is coming soon.

It can be used to get rid of bad luck, right?

Here you go.

Come.

All snakes should be hibernating in winter.

Sulfur?

It's hard to breathe out here. Are you all right, Lady Liu?

Lady Liu! Lady Liu?

Lady Liu!

Stop!

Don't stop! Return to the residence immediately!

Yes. Keep going.

Lady Liu!

The carriage is broken.

Snake!

- Where? - There's a snake!

Where's the snake?

Where's the snake?

It's inside the carriage!

Don't just watch. Save her!

Will Lady Liu be bitten by the snake?

Go and take a look!

Go and check on her!

I'm afraid of snakes!

- Don't you know what time it is? - Lady Liu!

Are you all right, Lady Liu?

Lady Liu!

- Are you all right? - Are you all right?

Lady Liu!

Lady Liu!

Is Lady Liu all right?

Mei Si?

Fourth Master Mei and Lady Liu.

That's...

Fourth Master Mei saved her.

Fourth Master.

Stop!

Don't burn sulfur in the future.

But there are snakes.

So what? I'm fine.

Keep it.

Master Snake, move!

What's wrong?

Master Snake, take good care of her.

I'll go and get a bucket of water.

Go.

What do you think is going on

between Fourth Master and Lady Liu?

They've been engaged for more than a decade after all.

Perhaps they will finally get married.

Are you feeling better?

Thank you.

I didn't expect

the Serpent Lord

to be tortured by sulfur.

You are fine.

I got lucky and didn't leave the house.

However,

the sulfur incident

is a blessing in disguise for both of you.

Why don't you two reconcile?

You haven't recovered. You should rest here.

I'm afraid there's something more important to do.

What is it?

Finding out who is trying to harm me.

Someone is trying to harm you?

Are you saying

that the burning of sulfur in the city

is planned by someone?

Even if it was a set-up by someone,

why does he need your scales?

I don't know.

However, the Serpent Lord's scales cannot be left outside.

I think we can find clues very soon

if we investigate the snake catcher.

Only two hours have passed.

I think it won't be difficult

to find the snake catcher.

Talk.

I saw the snake catcher at the Eastern market 30 minutes ago.

Pay him.

I saw him leave Liu District 10 minutes ago.

I know too! I saw him in a temple!

Calm down!

Enough. Take your turns.

Snake!

Snake!

Deity, spare me!

- Deity! - I heard you came to the city by following a huge snake.

What's going on?

Where's the snake?

The snake...

I am weak

and didn't catch any snake.

You are timid

and you don't have many tools on you.

I think you won't meet any huge snakes usually.

You seem to be an eel or loach catcher instead.

However, you said

you saw a huge snake yesterday

and followed it here.

You also brought many sulfur with you.

Did someone

instruct you to do that?

Deity, you are wise.

Yes.

I made up the story

of the huge snake.

Why did you make up stories for no reason?

Deity, it's like this.

You saw it.

How could I catch a huge snake with my ability?

I can't do it.

I'm so afraid.

So, I could only scare the people and create panic.

After that, I would give and sell sulfur

to make some money.

Tell me the truth!

Deity! I'm speaking the truth.

I didn't lie.

(Is he just a mortal?)

(Is there a conspiracy behind this?)

It's you.

You scared me.

You asked me to distribute sulfur

and I did it.

Do you have any more orders?

No.

You may leave.

All right. I'll be leaving.

I'm not drunk!

- You're not drunk. - Don't pull me.

- Slow down. - I can hold my liquor...

Manager.

Where are my friends?

I think they left.

They left?

Where to?

I didn't see when Fourth Master Mei left.

However, the young man looked like he was in a rush

when he left.

That's right, Lady Liu.

Someone asked me to give this to you.

(I'll wait for you in the forest)

A demonic spell?

What is this place?

Who tied me up?

Who are you?

Did you tie me up?

Speak! You're not a righteous man!

Master Snake.

Master Snake!

Xuan Hui?

Why?

Elder Gray?

I should be the one asking

why you are still alive.

Master Snake!

Evil Demon, Xuan Hui.

When did you become friends with a mortal?

I can play with anyone I want.

Who are you to decide?

You, on the other hand,

are acting mysterious.

What are you trying to do?

I just want to create chaos

in Demon City.

Xuan Hui.

Have you forgotten

how confident you were in Demon Prison

and how I helped you escape the place?

Right now,

you are being friendly

and submit

to a useless mortal instead.

Elder Gray.

Whether I have a grudge or not

is my business.

You cannot decide whether I take revenge or not.

Back when we were in Demon Prison,

I promised you to attack the Cat Lord

and I did it.

However, I didn't promise you

that I'd succeed.

As for him,

he isn't a useless mortal.

He is my friend.

Master Snake!

Master Snake!

Stop!

Stop!

Run!

Master Snake!

Master Snake.

You are finally here, Serpent Lord.

Elder Gray?

I'm sure you've put in a lot of effort

to be revived.

I'm sure you didn't do it to bully a mortal

and a small demon that's younger than 100 years.

Me?

I did it for you.

Lady Liu!

Lady Liu!

What are you doing?

I want

to make a deal with you, Serpent Lord.

Go straight to the point.

I want your scale

in exchange for all three of your lives.

What do you think?
