[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 3]

She's too badly injured

to be cured.

I revive her by refining my power

with this winged spirit pearl.

Perhaps...

this is God's will.

I'm not dead?

Young Master Fugui,

did you save my life?

Young Master Fugui,

why do you look so pale?

Are you injured?

I'll get you a towel.

No need.

I have a question for you.

What would you like to know?

Ask away.

Do you want to take a human form?

A human form?

Of course I do!

If I can transform into a human,

I'll become an invincible demon

that can cultivate much faster.

That way,

I can protect my younger brother.

There are usually over 100 little spiders like you in a brood.

Don't you have other siblings?

My other siblings...

They all died.

Only No.12581 and I survived.

Though I'm a tiny low-grade spider demon,

I still

care about certain things

and certain people.

Young Master Fugui,

could you please help my brother out?

I'm begging you.

Please, Young Master Fugui.

Young Master Fugui...

Remember this:

you should make

your dreams come true on your own.

Make my dreams come true

on my own?

Young Master Fugui,

it's so cold outside today.

How am I able to fly?

Young Master Fugui,

you're amazing.

What pearl is this?

How beautiful.

It doesn't matter.

But this pearl can transform you into a human.

I've morphed into a human, Young Master Fugui.

I'm a human now!

Young Master Fugui, look!

Young Master Fugui,

these two human legs don't seem

able to give me as much support as my eight spider legs could.

Stand up first.

Then see if you can walk.

Oh.

This is not a dream, is it?

Young Master Fugui,

pinch me now.

Hurry!

Go back in the room.

Young Master Fugui,

are you leaving for the morning practice?

I can go with...

Young Master Fugui,

don't worry and go ahead!

I'll get used to walking with two legs.

Now I finally know how the world looks

from this angle.

[Wangquan]

Master of the Quan family

from the Western Regions,

Quan Jingting, has arrived!

Dismissed, all of you.

Yes!

My dear cousin,

I don't think I came at the right time.

Is this

the morning practice?

It's been a long time since I last practiced sword skills here.

I wonder if any progress has been made

in Wangquan Swordsmanship.

Wangquan Swordsmanship is said to be the best in the world.

But it doesn't seem impressive now.

Isn't there anyone competent in the Wangquan family now?

My dear cousin,

I haven't seen you for years.

You look haggard now.

Master Quan, you were expelled

from the Wangquan family over a decade ago.

Then you changed your surname to "Quan."

Today, at the Wangquan Manor,

you are a guest.

A guest

should show a guest's courtesy.

I, Quan Jingting, from the Quan family in the border area,

am glad to meet you, Chief of Yiqi Alliance.

Master Quan,

are you in town for the Blue Sky Assembly?

Of course.

The Blue Sky Assembly

is a tryout for young people.

Where is your son Quan Rumu?

Rumu will go to the Li Residence himself

for the Blue Sky Assembly.

Send Master Quan and other visitors

to the guest quarters for a rest.

Transferring spiritual power to her

must've caused quite an impact on me.

I was being too careless.

Young Master Fugui, you're back!

I've got used to walking with two legs.

Look!

Young Master Fugui,

what's going on with you?

I'm fine.

I just need to regulate my breathing.

The water is a bit dirty.

I'll take it out.

No need.

This dress is not a good fit for you.

Today, I finally saw how good the Soldier could be.

Though he hasn't mastered the Heaven-and-Earth Strike,

he's already stronger

than most others in the world.

Rumu won't stand a chance

of defeating him.

Master, do you have a plan?

Go tell that ungrateful son of mine

that he must win the Soldier

in the Blue Sky Assembly,

even by devious means.

Yes.

I hear that when regulating their breathing,

cultivators would enter the Primary Circulation Phase.

Don't worry, Young Master Fugui.

I'll absolutely protect you well.

No.12580.

I'm here!

How did you get in here?

No.12580,

I didn't expect you to have truly taken a human form.

Did the Soldier help you with the transformation?

He has so much trust in you

that he feels safe to sit unconsciously before you.

You can kill him now.

Attack his Baihui acupoint.

That's the fatal weakness of all mankind.

You've transformed into a human.

You should know where Baihui acupoint is.

Take this.

Go.

Stick this needle deep into him.

Then he'll definitely die.

My job is to spy on the Soldier,

not to assassinate him.

Besides,

I've completed my task.

Mistress's ultimate goal is revenge.

If you kill the Soldier,

we'll be given the greatest credit.

You good-for-nothing,

will you do it or not?

I'll go if you don't.

No way!

You've indeed become disloyal to Mistress.

Are you taking the Soldier's side now?

I'll report it to Mistress right away.

She'll kill your brother then!

What are you doing?

Let me out!

Was it a thunder strike?

Now, I'll show you who is

a real good-for-nothing.

My goodness!

I feel so dizzy.

I'm telling you,

as long as I stay with Young Master Fugui

and keep cultivating,

it won't be long

before I become able to rescue my brother on my own.

Mistress won't let it happen.

You and your brother

will die a tragic death!

You...

H-Hey!

How...

Since when did you become so good?

Let me out!

Let me out!

Just stay in.

Senior Fugui!

Are you in there?

It's Lady Feng.

How odd.

This is impossible.

How did Senior Fugui lose so much spiritual power?

That Raccoon Dog Demon King

was no match for Senior Fugui at all.

Quan Jingting couldn't have caused this much harm either.

Senior Fugui,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Why did you never tell us

you had lost so much spiritual power?

But breaking that formation

was like giving Quan Jingting a giant slap in the face.

You did a wonderful job.

Tingyun,

you're free to go if that's everything.

I know you haven't

fallen in love with me yet.

But it's okay.

I still think

in Yiqi Alliance, I'm the only one

who's good enough for you.

If one day,

someone who suits you better shows up,

I'll quit trying.

Senior Fugui,

have you seen

that little spider demon again,

the one that delivered letters for me?

No.

I promised to set her free that day.

She has never come to me again after that.

Actually, she's quite fun.

Too bad that she's a demon.

Humans and demons take different paths.

These two species can't be friends.

I'm clear about that.

Senior Fugui,

take a good rest.

Stop looking.

You fear her that much?

Judging from what Lady Feng said,

she definitely hates for a spider demon

to stick with you.

By the way, Young Master Fugui,

are you feeling better now?

Yes.

Oh.

That's great.

Young Master Fugui,

do I look better now as a human

than as a spider before?

Young Master Fugui,

does being quiet mean

your answer is "yes"?

Well, you don't think I look good.

Anyway, at least I don't seem ugly

in your eyes now, right?

So much noise.

Oh.

Young Master Fugui,

thank you for saving my life.

I swear I'll repay you.

I just didn't want you to be trampled to death.

The wish to protect someone motivated you to cling to life.

I wanted to help. That was all.

What's your plan for the future?

Young Master Fugui,

can you teach me a set of sword skills?

I hope to get stronger,

so as to protect those

I want to with my own strength.

It isn't hard to teach you a set of sword skills.

But the dress you're in

is truly inappropriate.

Huh?

Young Master Fugui,

usually, on a snowy day like this,

even demons such as myself wouldn't go out.

Wind, frost, rain, and snow

are all part of nature.

Severe weather helps with your learning.

Is there anything

I can learn from the snow?

Young Master Fugui

is amazing!

Young Master Fugui,

what do you think?

Lift your right arm higher.

Align it with the sword.

Oh.

How strange.

Young Master Fugui,

why am I still not able to release sword energy?

It takes more practice.

Okay.

Young Master Fugui,

look!

Such beautiful sunset glows.

Young Master Fugui, look at that!

They will disappear

in just a short moment.

They'll be gone in a short moment?

What a pity.

Young Master Fugui,

look over there!

A flock of birds!

What a lovely scene.

These birds

came earlier today than usual.

Young Master Fugui

has never once seen the world outside.

He'd even deeply cherish

the presence

of sunset glows and birds.

Those people confine Young Master Fugui here,

making him cultivate every day.

But he's a human after all.

He feels lonely too.

This is odd.

Why am I feeling so angry?

Well,

I must do something for Young Master Fugui.

[One month later]

If you learn the one last technique

that contains 7 moves,

you'll finish the study

of this set of sword skills.

Got it.

Young Master Fugui,

when can we start the learning?

The Blue Sky Assembly will commence soon.

I'm afraid I don't have time to teach you.

It's okay, Young Master Fugui.

You can tutor me again when you come back.

I have a task to complete

before leaving for the convention.

A task?

Young Master Fugui,

may I...

go with you?

The Red Silver-ringed Snake Demon King

likes clear water

and dark forests.

It once slaughtered 130 families in Kangshui Town.

It's a killer and a looter

that feeds on blood.

Now, it is hiding in a valley on Huyan Mountain.

Yiqi Alliance has ordered

to eliminate it.

Soldier,

you actually have the guts to come alone and to try killing me.

Today,

I'm afraid you'll die here.

[Snake Demon King]

Who's there?

Sir, help me.

I'll share the treasures

in my cave with you.

You have a genuine dragon horn?

He's drawing a talisman with dragon power.

Soldier,

you're done for!

Sir,

what happened to him?

I've impaired his vision.

You're a demon king after all.

Don't tell me

you can't beat a blind man.

I'll leave the rest

to you.

Enjoy.

Young Master Fugui, are you alright?

Who are you?

I am...

I...

I...

I don't fear you!

Then why are you shaking?

Because...

B-Because you are a snake!

My fellows and I all fear snakes.

Then...

why don't you get out of my way?

I...

I won't go away, though I'm scared!

Inferior little thing...

Go to hell!

She's not a little thing,

and she's by no means inferior!

I didn't expect myself to behave so well the first time I accompanied

Young Master Fugui for a mission.

Young Master Fugui, do you know

that we spiders fear snakes most?

I do know that.

You've said it many times.

Nonetheless,

thanks to the sword skills you taught me,

or a spider

like me wouldn't dare to move at all

in the face of a snake.

It's true

that I was terribly frightened

the first time

I went on a mission with you.

But, Young Master Fugui,

in general,

I still did a good job, right?

Yes.

Candy?

Is it a treat for me,

Young Master Fugui?

Thank you.

Oh, right.

Previously,

I overheard a secret

that Mr. Fei told Sword Attendant Shuang.

I want to tell you about it now.

I have something to say to you too.

You have something to say too?

Okay.

You gave me candy.

I'll let you go first.

Though the seal on my five senses has been lifted,

the True Dragon Power's impact is not to be neglected.

My eyes can't see anything

for the time being.

Don't worry, Mr. Fei.

My eyes were burned by the True Dragon Power.

They'll heal within a month.

It's a whole month we're talking about.

I'll complete my task.

You know that's not what I mean.

Master has finally agreed to let you

take a horse carriage to the Li Residence.

You going blind was an unexpected misfortune.

Mr. Fei.

Yes?

I'm a bit tired.

I'll take my leave then.

You're terrible at

taking care of yourself.

Now, with impaired vision,

how are you going to care for yourself

in daily life?

He can't see now?

That's great news.

Rumu has finally

done something smart.

Young Master is brilliant.

That goes without saying.

Master,

shall we set out

for the Blue Sky Assembly?

Not after I visit a place.

I need to find out if that old guy Wangquan Shouyi

has fulfilled

his promise.

This is a freshly made

Dragon Tempering Pill.

You claim your son Rumu to be able

to slay the Soldier.

Where is he now?

A hero is a product of his time.

That proverb is true.

But you have to show us

how your son Rumu

can manage to kill the Soldier.

Don't act so recklessly.

Young Master Fugui...

What are you trying to say?

Nobody knows how tender you are.

Tenderness is not what a Soldier needs.

Also, nobody knows

what you really want, Young Master Fugui.

Then what do you think I really want?

You long to see the scenery outside,

and to get out of that Palanquin.

Mr. Fei said you could

take a horse carriage,

instead of the Palanquin,

to the Blue Sky Assemly.

That way, you can see the world outside.

Who would've known...

that you'd become temporarily blind?

How useless of me.

I can't protect anyone.

Why don't you be my eyes?

Though Young Master Fugui can't go outside as he pleases,

I believe

he will see

the real Bamboo Pavilion by River Huai one day,

and that he won't be this lonely forever.

Before that,

if possible,

I'd like to weave more prettier scenery

for Young Master Fugui.

Now, let me be

Young Master Fugui's eyes.

Sit tight.

Young Master Fugui,

yesterday,

I spent a whole night making this ribbon.

It's a perfect match for your outfit.

Young Master Fugui

deserves the best of everything.

Didn't you promise to be my eyes?

Oh.

Let me see.

Young Master Fugui,

those flying south in a line

are Datian birds, right?

Yes.

A young one just fell behind.

But it's catching up now.

How lovely this is.

They're all free and soaring.

I'm so happy to be

your eyes.

Everything outside must be beautiful,

because

you sound very happy.
