When you see these flowers
after you go back,

maybe you'll think of me.

Give Ji Ling back to me.

Give him back!

Submit.

I won't kill you.

But I want to kill you.

You killed Ji Ling.

I'm going to avenge him.

You used the wrong word.

To kill is to take the life
of a living being.

Ji Ling was only ever a puppet.

I was the one

who gave him life.

I merely took back what was mine.

Just as I thought.

You've already been corrupted by evil

and strayed from the divine path.

You don't deserve
the title of Dragon Deity.

You also deceived Wangyan

and used her to achieve your goals.

Don't try to deny it.

That repulsive scent on you is something

I'll never forget.

Wangyan, why do you carry
a strange scent today?

You met her in secret.

Otherwise, how could she
have caught that scent?

So,

you took Wu Wangyan's token

to come settle the score with me?

Who's to say

she didn't give it to me?

She would never give it to you.

What exactly do you want her to do?

You two are close.

Why don't you ask her yourself?

You don't dare.

Because you're afraid.

Afraid you'll hear
an answer you don't want.

Afraid she's already betrayed
the Formless Moon Sect.

And afraid the sisterly bond
between you two will be severed forever.

Shut up.

No one has ever dared
to be so insolent before me.

Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?

Do you think

you're the only immortal one?

As a Formless Moon member, even if I die,

once my skin, hair, blood, and bones

are dissolved
in the Primordial Sacred Spring,

I can be reborn.

Then what if your skin, hair,
blood, and bones

are imprisoned here forever?

Leave.

Tell me your scheme.

Stay by my side and obey me.

Look how weak you are.

Stop fighting.

Stay in the Shilin Sect.

Don't go back and report this.

Don't let my plan fail.

Didn't your sister go look for food?

Why isn't she back yet?

Weren't you supposed to go with me
to find the Dragon Deity's Power?

What act are you putting on now?

Relax.

Once I find Wuyi, I'll come right back

and tell you where the next strand
of the Dragon Deity's Power is.

What if you don't come back?

This is a Moon Summoning Pearl.

Hold it and channel
your sacred power into it,

and no matter how far away I am,

you'll summon me
straight back to your side.

I'll believe you one more time.

Could you go wash up?

You stink.

Didn't I just bathe?

I really can't keep
carrying you around anymore.

Your stink is driving all the women away.

Wu Shiguang,

you're done for.

You're in for some real suffering.

The sourness of love
and the bitterness of longing…

Do you know how people are named?

They're usually named to make up
for what they lack.

What do you mean?

Your name "Chi", meaning "shame".

Because you are shameless.

Show yourself.

SI FENG, GREEDY WOLF DEMON
HUNTER OF THE NORTHERN DIPPER

It's been over a century,

and you old demon
still love playing these spooky tricks.

I'm a double-flower hunter
of the Shilin Sect.

I'm a human.

You are the demon.

I've never seen a human

turn half their body into a puppet.

And at your age,

you still look this young.

Your beauty-preserving arts

are even better than
a demon's skin-changing tricks.

Just what you'd expect from a fox demon.

Even your insults sound flattering.

Tell me.

Why did you burn
a summoning talisman to call me out here

in the middle of the night?

To catch up?

My sister took my Shilin Sect token.

She must've been growing suspicious.

I'm afraid she'll find out

I've been working
with the Dragon Deity all along.

Master Chi Wen is stern
and ruthless in all he does.

Your sister is in serious trouble.

Word Magic

only works on those
whose power is weaker than yours.

Otherwise, the blowback
can leave you gravely injured.

And once the target is on guard,

Word Magic hardly works.

Xiaowei's Word Magic was unrivaled.

I carry Xiaowei's power.

How dare you try

to control me?

Ji Ling…

There are many restrictions
within the Shilin Sect.

If you don't want your soul annihilated,

stay here.

TOKEN OF SCALES

Here.

These flowers only bloom
in the Shilin Sect.

They're special.

Then let me take you somewhere.

I'm sure it'll cheer you up.

I grew up by Yumian Lake.

There are lots
of delicious raspberries here.

I'll pick some for you in a bit.

Are you sleepy?

Or are you tired
of me talking about all this?

No.

It's just that I hate blood.

I don't want to see blood on my hands.

This world is such a mess.

There are so many things
I don't want to see either.

Death, separation,

injured animals,

forests burned down by mountain fires,

and so many other things.

I couldn't bear to look at them.

But then,

I learned a very useful spell.

What spell?

Make a circle with your hand

and only look at what you like.

I picked these out for you. They're sweet.

Here.

A bouquet of fresh wildflowers

fully in bloom.

Cheer up.

Forget me.

Why are you crying?

I'm not.

Then why are your eyes red?

A pungent smell irritated them.

You've been making things up.

Why do you keep saying I carry

a strange scent?

Making things up?

Can't you smell it yourself?

I follow a vegetarian diet,

and I bathe and change clothes every day.

Other than you,

no one has ever said
there's anything strange about my scent.

Maybe they've been around you so long

their sense of smell has gone wrong.

Don't be insolent before me.

How long are you going to keep me here?

This won't work.

On the next night of the full moon,

the Oracle Stone's power
will summon me back to the Formless Moon.

Do you really think you can trap me

in this pathetic sect?

You can try.

Ji Ling.

Will I ever see him again?

Didn't you say

I was him?

I want to see the Ji Ling
who always had a smile on his face,

who was warm and kind.

Am I never

going to see him again?

People worship you
and place their faith in you,

never knowing you've long lost
your mercy and divinity.

And you still had the nerve
to put up your own statue here

to receive offerings, bows,
and worship from the hunters?

Shameless.

Lu Wuyi really is fearless.

A demon barging into the Shilin Sect?

How's that different from a chicken

charging into a weasel's den
and crowing at the top of its lungs?

Still, someone as mighty
as the Dragon Deity

wouldn't lock up a young girl
and torture her,

would he?

Hasn't he done plenty of evil already?

But surely he'd at least feed her, right?

The food at the Shilin Sect

doesn't even have a drop of oil in it.

Even dogs wouldn't eat it.

I fell asleep
in the Dragon Deity Palace last night.

Which one of you brought me back?

The Dragon Deity Palace
is a solemn, sacred place.

You're not allowed to sleep there.

I… I brought you back.

I used magic to bring you back.

You?

Me.

What's your name?

My name is Ye Changsheng.

I'm Master Chi Wen's attendant.

My grandfather was an attendant too.

My family has served
Master Chi Wen for three generations.

Ye Changsheng?

I'm a fox demon that eats people.

If you stick around,
you can kiss longevity goodbye.

I…

Breakfast is ready, Miss Lu.

I bought all this
from a restaurant outside,

since our food may be
too light for your liking.

Take a look.

Did Chi Wen tell you to buy this?

I… I bought it myself.

You?

What, do you like me?

No…

Miss, please don't say
things like that. I…

Does it suit your taste?
If there's nothing else,

I'll be going now.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm worried you poisoned it.

Then I really don't get it.

You lock me up here as a prisoner.

Why did you prepare such a feast for me?

Master Chi Wen only said

you'd be staying at the Shilin Sect
for a while.

He never said you were a prisoner.

I can't even move around at will.

If I'm not a prisoner, what am I?

The only thing missing
is a pair of shackles.

Where is Chi Wen?

I can't finish
all this good food by myself.

Tell him to come eat with me.

Master Chi Wen never dines with others.

Normally, Commander Li attends
to Master Chi Wen during meals,

because there are simply
too many demons who want to harm him.

To be safe, he only eats food
delivered by Commander Li.

No exceptions.

But

only a dragon can kill a dragon.

Why would he worry
about others poisoning him?

Even if the poison wouldn't kill him,
it would still feel awful.

Is it that bad?

It's so good.

Back at the Formless Moon,
we could only eat fruits and vegetables.

But here, you're feeding me so well.

Now that I've tasted luxury,

how am I supposed
to go back to eating simple meals?

I… I'll take my leave now.

It's already morning.

I've been trying
to reassure you all night.

Why are you still so worried?

Wuyi has never suffered or been wronged
a day in her life.

She's probably being tortured
at the Shilin Sect right now.

Yunjin brocade quilts
and a soft pillow made of golden silk.

Are these to your liking, Miss Lu?

This is nowhere near
as nice as what we have

at the Formless Moon.

This is already the best
the Shilin Sect can offer.

The best?

What good are pillows and quilts alone?

I don't even have a change of clothes.

All I have is this shabby robe.

It's hideous.

This isn't some shabby robe.

It's… It's…

Do you have any other requests, Miss Lu?

Master Chi Wen said
we were to do whatever you ask.

So what exactly is he playing at?

A stick, and then a carrot?

Save it.

I don't accept charity.
Let me make one thing clear.

Don't think you can wear down my resolve

with fine clothes and good food.

Even if the Dragon Deity
doesn't mistreat her,

there are so many hunters
in the Shilin Sect

who hate demons to the bone.

They'll definitely bully Wuyi in secret.

Miss Lu, are you pleased
with this incense?

It smells wonderful.

Life at the Shilin Sect

is way too comfortable.

Fine. I promise.

I'll go back to the Shilin Sect
and check on her for you.

But the next full moon is almost here.

Your memories will be shared
at the Sacred Spring.

How are you going to keep
your secrets from the other members?

It doesn't matter. At worst,

I'll do what Xiaowei did
and cut off a tail to survive.

The Never-Ending Curse
will hunt you forever.

You'll have to lose a sense,
live in anonymity,

and become an ordinary woman
who doesn't dare use demon magic.

Do you really want that?

Living like a mortal

is exactly what I've always wanted.

Chi Wen thinks I'm some demoness

who has done all kinds of evil
and endangered the people,

so he locked me up in the Shilin Sect.

But as a demon,

I'm not used to sleeping
on Yunjin brocade and fine silk.

Then… Then what are you
used to sleeping on, Miss Lu?

As a demon,

of course, I'm used to sleeping

on things far bloodier
and more terrifying.

It helps with cultivating demon magic.

For example,

human skin.

What?

You've got some nerve.

I heard Chi Wen
was injured in a brutal battle

and needed to absorb
humans' life force to recover.

Miss Lu, you mustn't speak nonsense.

Master Chi Wen is the Dragon Deity
who protects all living beings.

He holds kindness and compassion

for every creature in the world.

You must not slander him.

I didn't realize
you were this loyal to Chi Wen.

When we of the Formless Moon
carried out missions,

we disguised ourselves
as Shilin Sect members more than once.

I like how smooth your skin is.

When I get the chance
next time, I'll use it.

Give it to me.

Master Chi Wen, help!

You can trap me here,

but no one in the Shilin Sect
is getting any peace either.

Let's torture each other
and see who lasts longer.

It's just been one night,

Shiguang,

and you already can't resist using

my Moon Summoning Pearl?

Did you miss me that much?

Do all you foxes from the Formless Moon

talk in this halting, syrupy way?

Where's Lu Wuyi?

She's grown up and gotten rebellious.

She has ideas of her own. Let's go.

Go where?

The Ruined Sand.

That's where the next strand

of the Dragon Deity's Power is.

Help him. Earn his trust.

Then

take the prayer beads.

What is it?

You know that place?

No return.

No finding it again.

No matter how many times
I perform the divination,

the result

is always the same.

How much longer are you going to wait

before you fulfill your promise

and make the Star Stone shine again?

You said that once
the Star Stone became whole,

it would shine again

and free my people

from the Petrification Curse.

That's why I broke my oath

and took back the power
I lent the Dragon Deity.

So why

isn't it working?

Because we still have to wait
for the man with the Twelve Thoughts.

Don't you get bored
sitting in meditation all day?

Come pick some
fresh flowers with me, will you?

No.

Then I'll go by myself.

Stop.

You're not going either.

Don't force me to use
Word Magic on you again.

My power may be weaker than yours,

but I'm on guard
against you every second now.

It won't be that easy

for you to control me.

That demoness defiled
the Dragon Deity's statue.

I've been scrubbing it for three days,
and it still won't come clean.

She's infuriating!

Please, stop drawing on it!

She said she wanted rootless water.

I want rootless water,

dustless fruit,

and scentless incense.

How was I supposed
to know what those were?

She was obviously
making things difficult on purpose.

She said I peeked while she was changing.

Good grief! Who changes clothes
in the hallway?

What's wrong with you,

peeking at a young girl changing clothes?

How shameless.

I almost gouged out my own eyes!

Commander Li,
please talk to the Dragon Deity

so he lets her go soon.

If she doesn't leave, I will.

She's unbearable,

evil to the core!

What's with that look?

Three words

describe you perfectly right now.

Which three?

Undignified old man.

I…

VIRTUE COMMANDS, EVIL YIELDS

This is no sparring match.
This is bullying!

Chi Wen has such a good temper.

I've caused this much commotion,

and he still won't come out to stop me.

If he won't stop you, I will!

This is Shilin Sect territory.

How dare a demoness
like you run wild here?

If you don't want me running wild,
tell him to let me go.

He doesn't dare kill me for fear
of angering the Formless Moon,

but he's also afraid
I'll expose his true colors,

so he traps me here.

But what's the point?

When the full moon comes,
I'll still be able to leave.

Shut up.

Greetings, Master Chi Wen.

Come with me.

Get moving already.

I was talking to you. Come with me.

And if I don't want to?

Are you going to tie me up,
Master Chi Wen?
