[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 7]

Young Master Fugui,

please rest early.

Okay.

[Silk Cave]

This is the only way

to save Young Master Fugui.

It's weird.

Why did I fall asleep here?

Why am I so sleepy today?

You really poisoned him?

Yes.

I've used the Seven Bitterness you gave me

on Wangquan Fugui.

The Soldier treats you so well, yet you poisoned him.

You must

really hate me, right?

I don't.

He's a Soldier, and I'm a demon.

This is my home.

You didn't lie to me?

Your intel network is everywhere.

I dare not lie to you.

At least you're still clear-headed.

I'll trust you this time.

Well, Mistress,

what about my brother?

Can you release him now?

His leg has been reattached.

He's

perfectly safe now.

Thank you, Mistress.

Mistress,

I have another request.

Go ahead.

I was poisoned by that same toxin.

Please

give me the antidote.

What do you mean?

How did you get poisoned?

That Soldier is extremely vigilant.

So every time I poisoned him,

I had to try his food first.

You're indeed poisoned.

He actually made you test it?

Humans are all hypocrites.

Thank you, Mistress!

What's the rush?

I'll give you the antidote after I get confirmation

that the Soldier is truly poisoned.

Thank you, Mistress.

I searched the entire Wangquan Manor and found no trace of Qingtong.

And since this morning,

my qi and blood have been surging,

and my inner power has been draining—

almost depleted.

Where is the little spider?

Come out!

Senior Fugui,

do you know that little spider

was a spy sent by the Silk Cave?

How could your inner power be draining like this?

Someone poisoned you?

Ordinary poison doesn't work on you.

This is Gu poison.

Who could be so cruel?

It was that little spider, right?

Where is she?

Little spider, come out!

Stop yelling.

Qingtong has left.

Qingtong?

You even gave her a name?

Senior Fugui,

You and she...

I told you.

She has left.

I thought you were in the dark,

but it turns out you knew everything.

I'll have to tell Master.

No.

I'll deal with the poison

in my body.

Then why didn't you let me tell Master?

She harmed you so much,

and you still want to protect her?

This is my business.

I'll take care of it myself.

You bastard.

Today is your death anniversary.

Back then,

you built the Silk Cave

to create the top intelligence network in the Demon Realm.

So I followed your dying instructions

and have always protected the Silk Cave

you left behind well.

Back then,

you forcibly recruited people

to build this Silk Cave for my sake.

Wangquan Hongye

came to Mount Baiwu with his men

to hold you accountable.

It was the human race who started it,

yet they forced you to destroy your own inner core

to stop the war.

But they promised

to only destroy your cultivation

and spare your body so you could rebuild your cultivation.

And they sealed you

inside this golden crown.

Who would have known

that very night,

you would meet your end?

Good and evil always come with consequences. I accept that.

I accept that!

But they shouldn't have deceived me like that—

giving me hope

and then crushing it completely.

The Wangquan family

must

pay the price!

I want you—

Wangquan Hongye—

taste the pain

of losing your loved ones.

Master,

it's time to eat.

I've fallen to such a state,

yet you still serve me as you used to.

Sit.

Have a drink with me.

Lu,

when did you start working for me?

It was after you

went to the Western Regions,

at the screen wall of your residence.

Screen wall?

That half‑collapsed wall

buried in weeds? You call that a screen wall?

I remember it clearly.

When I first arrived,

the whole residence was desolate.

There was only one bed

with 4 intact legs.

All the servants

were old, weak, ill, or disabled.

None of the disciples

listened to me.

Most of them were disciples

the Yiqi Alliance sent

to the Western Regions,

and all they wanted back then

was to embarrass you.

Do you know

why I chose you to be my attendant?

You're just a servant's son.

Yes.

You once said

I had the same

ambitious look in my eyes as you.

Yes.

Ambitious.

I was born in troubled times.

I want to be the one holding the knife,

not the meat on the chopping block.

Even back in the Western Regions,

I thought the same.

Without the Wangquan family name,

I still have my sword.

I can always fight my way out!

When the disciples didn't listen,

I killed some to warn others.

Demons ran rampant across the Western Regions.

That was my chance to prove myself.

I was tougher than anyone else,

and I refused to lose.

But the result...

What was the result?

They set you up

and lured you into the dragon demon's trap.

You almost died;

I was the one who carried you back.

I almost died...

In the ruined house of the master of the Quan family,

they...

were all waiting for me to die.

He won't be able to make it this time.

This lunatic

who doesn't even care about his own child.

Heaven is punishing him.

Get lost!

Let's go.

I can't die.

I, Wangquan Jingting,

will not die...

in this godforsaken place.

Someone as vicious as you

would even frighten

the King of Hell.

Who are you?

Who the hell are you?

Come out!

I'll kill you!

[Taisui, a little black fox]

Wangquan Jingting,

your talent is mediocre.

How can you compare to Wangquan Hongye?

Talent?

Is talent everything?

I have something they don't!

What is that?

The willingness to sacrifice.

To become the strongest,

you'd give up everything—

conscience, love, family, right?

Am I right?

You hate him, don't you?

How about I take revenge for you?

Are you willing to give up everything

to follow our Madam?

The Black Fox Madam?

You do have some knowledge and courage.

The Madam said

you won't die,

and that she'll even give you a great gift.

Wha-what gift?

Do you know the greatest secret

in the Western Regions?

The True Dragon Power.

That day,

she not only gave me power,

but also told me that

to obtain the True Dragon Power,

I must acquire a dragon scale,

a dragon spine, and a dragon core

that possess it.

So that's why

you were fighting the dragon clan in the Western Regions?

What did you get?

The dragon clan has long declined.

Those with True Dragon Power

are extremely rare.

After years of searching,

I only obtained

a reverse dragon scale

and fused it into my arm.

Congratulations

on achieving it in one step.

I thought

I was sure to win.

But for the other two things,

I searched desperately for years

and finally got a piece of intelligence.

It says

the Wangquan family ancestors

had actually slain a true dragon

and forged a sword with its spine.

But the sword's murderous energy was too strong,

so they sealed it

in the Sword Tomb.

That's why

you returned to the Wangquan family

under the pretext of the Blue Sky Conference?

I was fully prepared.

If I won,

I would take the Sword Tomb;

if I lost,

I would guard it.

I was sure to win.

But that Soldier

actually destroyed my cultivation.

Wangquan Hongye,

Wangquan Fugui,

you both

must die!

This is Gu poison.

Who could be so cruel?

There are hundreds of spiders in the Silk Cave.

We're all as worthless as weeds.

If I go back empty-handed,

I'll definitely die.

Do you really think

the Spiritual Stone's prophecy won't come true?

I forgot to give you a birthday gift yesterday.

This chrysanthemum

is for you, Young Master Fugui.

Wangquan Manor and that Palanquin...

are your entire world.

Also, nobody knows

what you really want, Young Master Fugui.

You long to see the scenery outside

and to get out of that Palanquin.

I want to stay to repay your kindness.

I'll be your little spider

in life and in death.

Soft-heartedness!

Attachments!

Unwillingness!

Those are all emotions

that a Soldier shouldn't have.

The weakness deep within your heart

is the reason why you can't unleash the Heaven-and-Earth Strike!

This Seven Bitterness poison really is vicious.

It seems I can't remove it

by myself.

Only when one's heart is free of dust

can they see clearly.

Young Master Fugui,

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

I still

care about certain things

and certain people.

Can you help me save my brother?

I'm begging you.

Please, Young Master Fugui.

Truth can't be faked.

Qingtong must have been threatened by Madam Yin

to poison me.

You did a good job.

The Soldier is truly poisoned.

It was your brilliant planning.

Your eyes are red.

Do you feel sorry for him?

Mistress,

I don't.

There's nothing wrong

with loyalty and devotion.

But you gave your heart to the wrong person.

The Soldier is a bloodthirsty sword.

If you fall for him,

you'll surely die.

Since I, No.12580,

have completed my task,

can you give me the antidote you promised me?

This is the only antidote

for the Seven Bitterness

in the entire world.

Remember to use your demon power to absorb it as soon as possible.

Thank you, Mistress.

I will never forget

your great kindness.

What about my brother?

Since I said I'd spare him,

I will.

As for when

and how—

that's up to me.

If you're willing

to send my brother away,

I'm willing to stay

and serve you for life.

You are so capable.

Even the Soldier was manipulated by you.

How do I know you are sincere with me?

I, No.12580,

vow to serve you faithfully for life, Mistress.

Good!

Then stay here in the Silk Cave

and keep me company forever.

Take her to see No.12581.

Soldier,

your death is near.

Let's go to Mount Baiwu.

Young Master, we weren't informed of this mission.

Young Master, should we report to the Master first?

Let's go to Mount Baiwu.

Yes.

This is...

♪ It was you who opened the world, the times transparent ♪

♪ At sunrise, I open my eyes; at moon-fall, I wait for an answer ♪

Young Master Fugui.

Your world won't just be the Demon‑Slaying Palanquin,

and it will never be all darkness.

♪ If the light shines through the night ♪

Your future

will shine with countless stars,

♪ Dawn will awaken ♪

full of hope.

♪ We never ask if fate is fair ♪

I...

can't just stand by and watch her die.

Sister.

Sister, you're finally awake.

You've been in a coma for a long time.

No.12581?

It's great to see you!

Turn around.

Let me take a look at you.

I'm fine, Sister.

Don't worry about me.

No.12581,

it must hurt, right?

I'm really fine.

You must be in pain too.

I'm fine.

As long as Qingcheng is fine.

What does

Qingcheng mean?

Remember,

from now on, this is your name.

In the world outside the cave,

everyone has a name.

I have one too.

My name is Qingtong.

A very good person

give me this name.

Okay.

I see.

Oh, right.

They said you were poisoned.

Mistress has given you the antidote.

Have you taken it?

No hurry.

Qingcheng.

Yes?

Are you ready

to leave here with me?

Leave here?

How?

I can take human form.

A human used a winged spirit pearl to convert

his spiritual power into demon power and gave it to me.

Now I'll give you

half of it.

Mistress,

we just discovered that No.12580

ran away with her brother.

What?

Ran away?

No.12580, you bitch!

There's one more thing.

The Soldier is on his way to Mount Baiwu.

Where are they heading?

It seems they're coming

toward our Silk Cave.

The Soldier came suddenly this time,

but he's already deeply poisoned

and no longer a threat.

Mistress,

shall we send people to hunt down No.12580

and No.12580?

Compared with my blood feud against the Soldier,

they are nothing.

Forget her.

Round up everyone in Silk Cave who can fight

and have them come with me

to kill the Soldier.

Yes.

Up ahead is Mount Baiwu.

Soldier, why did you come here?

Step back.

Well...

Yes.

Yes.

Come out!

You truly are a Soldier.

You are poisoned and still so arrogant.

Where is No.12580?

I have something to ask her.

As expected, whether human or demon,

no one can escape love.

Why are you looking for her?

That ungrateful bitch

has run off with her brother.

Are you saying

she and her brother have escaped?

Yes.

Soldiers,

does it hurt in your heart?

How does betrayal feel?

This little pain,

compared to my pain for losing my husband,

is nothing!

Today,

I will avenge my deceased husband.

Go!

Kill him.

Why?

You're poisoned.

Why can you still use your sword?

I am poisoned,

but I'm still more than capable of dealing with you.

Anyone who doesn't want to die,

stand up!

Kill him!

What should we do?

He's a Soldier.

No one survives Wangquan Sword.

We'll die if we go.

We'll die too if we don't.

You're asking for death!

Soldier, save us!

Please!

Save us!

We were forced.

We don't want to die!

This seal has been lifted.

Whether you stay or go,

it's up to you.

Let's go!

This is...

the spiritual power of the Dongfang family?

Now it's just you.

Don't bother the little spider anymore,

or...

you'll face the consequences.

Soldier,

this time I underestimated you.

Next time,

I will make the Wangquan family

pay.

Qingcheng.

Qingcheng!

Qing...

Sister.

[Qingcheng, a spider demon in the Silk Cave]

Come here.

Come here.

Sister.

Our Qingcheng looks so handsome

in human form.

By the way,

this is for you.

All these years,

I've secretly collected many gems.

They're all here.

Keep it safe.

Sister, you're amazing.

Listen to me.

Later,

just go straight along that road.

Then you'll see a village.

It's Deer Village, home of the deer demons.

They're not hostile to outsiders.

Give them

half of these gems.

Use the other half

to buy some good food.

Okay.

Replenish your strength.

Got it?

Are you coming with me?

I...

have something else to do.

Once I'm done,

I'll go find you.

Sister, what else do you need to do?

By the way, where is the antidote?

Haven't you taken the antidote?

I...

Are you going to give the antidote to the Soldier?

No.

Have you forgotten

how the people of the Yiqi Alliance

used to abuse us for fun?

They all deserve to die!

Qingcheng.

There are good and bad demons.

Humans are the same.

If the Soldier hadn't passed his spiritual power to me,

how could the two of us

have taken human form?

If you give the antidote to the Soldier,

what will happen to you?

You promised me

you'd stay with me.

Qingcheng, listen to me.

Go to Deer Village now.

It's safe there.

Hurry up. Go!

I won't leave if you don't come.

Qingcheng,

promise me,

you must take good care of yourself.

Sister!

Young Master Fugui,

wait for me.

[Wangquan]

You demon,

how dare you come back?

Lady Feng.

Who's your Lady Feng?

Although Senior Fugui has been covering for you

and denying that he was poisoned,

I'm not an idiot.

You must have something to do

with him being poisoned.

Lady Feng,

I'll explain

everything to you.

Look.

This is the antidote for Young Master Fugui.

I came to deliver it.

Look.

You still dare to harm him?

Lady Feng,

this really is the antidote.

Lady Feng!

I'm sorry, Lady Feng.

Senior Feng, how did this demon get in here?

Cut the crap.

Use the talisman!

You still won't give up?

Even if I have to die here today,

I must give this antidote to Young Master Fugui.

Young Master Fugui...

Young Master Fugui!

Young Master Fugui...

Young Master Fugui!

Young...

Lady Feng...

I'm really here to deliver the antidote.

Please, trust me.

I'm really here to deliver the antidote.

Lady Feng...

-Young Master Fugui... -Senior Fugui, why?

She hurt you so much.

Why are you still protecting her?

I will

handle this myself.

Aren't you afraid I'll tell Master?

She has her reasons we don't know about.

I have to ask her first.

I don't care.

I will tell Master.

Young...

Young Master Fugui...

Senior Fugui,

why?

Humans and demons have different paths.

Why are you so protective of that spider demon?

Senior Fugui,

do you know what you are doing?

[Beautiful Spring Scenery]

Young Master Fugui,

I brought the antidote.

Take it now.

What happened to your face?

I...

I'm fine.

Just some minor injuries.

Anyway,

we spiders are ugly to begin with.

It doesn't matter.

Madam Yin threatened you with your brother.

That's why you poisoned me.

Why didn't you tell me?

You...

You found out everything?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because...

Because Madam Yin threatened

that if I told you,

they would kill my brother.

Although,

I still poisoned you

and betrayed your trust.

Young Master Fugui,

take the antidote first.

Although I controlled the dosage

of the Seven Bitterness,

it's still bad for your health.

Take it first.

Young Master Fugui,

please take it now.

Okay.

Great.

Great.

Now that

you've gotten the antidote,

I can finally...

rest assured.

Why did this little spider

do this?

Fugui,

you called me all the way back

just to watch you

feed the medicine to the little spider?

Now that you've given her the antidote,

what about you?

I'm telling you,

in 5 days,

the poison will reach your heart.

Follow me.

Did you hear me?

When you called for me,

I knew it had to be something urgent.

You talk too much.

Tell me.

Why did you call me here?

Tonight is the 7th night.

The gu has fully formed.

It's the right time to expel it.

But...

But your qi and blood

are in turmoil.

So you need my help.

That's right.

Seal my spiritual veins.

Rumu!

Again!

A sword forged to vanquish evil

has somehow gained warmth?

Wangquan Fugui has actually

fallen for a lowly little demon.

Once a person develops feelings, they gain weaknesses.

How are my clones inside the circle coming along?

Madam,

the nails have been planted.

Your four clones inside the circle—

Taisui, Gukui, Guifeng, and Jiuwei—

are all on standby.

Good.

It's time for Taisui to meet

our old friend from the Western Regions.
