[Sword and Beloved]

[Episode 15]

Cousin.

I won't let you die so easily.

Young Master Fugui,

dinner's ready.

Mm.

You've come all this way.

Aren't you going to come in?

Young Master Rumu?

I rushed here

as soon as I heard the news.

I thought you'd be in some pitiful state—

but I didn't expect

your life here

to be much better than at the Wangquan Manor.

You're really something.

Nothing can stump you.

Even when I hide here, you still find me.

After all, I'm

your only friend, aren't I?

Young Master Rumu,

I'll get another set of tableware for you.

Fugui,

this wine's no good.

Where did you buy it?

Forget it.

You don't drink anyway. Can't blame you.

Fugui,

how old are you now?

Still carving a wooden sword?

Fugui,

there's something

I've never figured out.

Tell me the truth.

Who drove you to this point?

Don't tell me...

it was my father.

I'm fine.

It's just an old injury.

Fugui,

I'm really fine.

I've made it this far,

and every time, I've managed to survive against all odds.

You...

You don't need to worry about me.

Why?

What do you mean, "why"?

All your meridians have been destroyed.

It obviously happened long ago.

Who hurt you?

Fugui,

you're the Soldier.

Calm down.

I'm asking you—

who did this to you?

Fugui,

before I answer,

let me tell you a story.

I haven't finished telling you the story

of me and Long Weiyun.

If you don't listen now,

you may not

get the chance again.

As you know,

after my father went to the Western Regions,

he killed a lot of dragon demons.

But what you don't know is

that he also toyed with a dragon demon's heart

and tortured her to death.

Later,

that dragon demon's daughter abducted me,

wanting to exchange me for her mother's remains.

But my father...

he didn't care about my life at all.

So...

her plan failed.

Sister, help me.

Help me...

Help me...

Stop pretending.

Your own father doesn't care about you.

You think I would?

Help me...

Dragon demons are born with the power to heal.

Funny enough,

my family couldn't help me

with my asthma,

but my family's enemy healed me.

After she cured my asthma,

she wanted to let me go.

But I, an abandoned child,

didn't want to return to that cold family,

so I shamelessly followed her.

And I stayed

for over 10 years.

She's cold on the outside, yet warm on the inside.

No wonder you've never had

any prejudice against demons.

You mentioned it before.

Turns out you comprehended

your own Way of the Sword in the desert.

At that time,

after I comprehended my own Way of the Sword,

the first thing I did for her...

was to return home

and retrieve her mother's remains.

Don't you want to know

where I've been these past few days?

Can you hold back from telling me?

I just went home,

stealing and forcing my way through...

to get...

what you wanted.

All that's left of your mother's remains

is her skull.

[Dragon Cave]

Mother,

you're finally able to return home.

Rest in peace

in the Dragon Cave.

What is this?

[Long Weiyun's Mother]

I scraped off your dragon scales

and absorbed them into my own body.

Look.

My left arm is now

impervious to all weapons.

Unfortunately, your scales can't grow back.

But I heard that...

dragon horns...

can regrow when cut off.

That's Mother's memory from when she was alive.

Quan Jingting,

you bastard.

Poor child,

you've suffered.

Who are you?

I'm the last dragon spirit

with memories in the Dragon Cave.

I've been waiting for you here

for many years,

just to give this Water-Control Orb to you.

Water-Control Orb?

I've been searching for it for so long,

and it was actually here all along?

It was entrusted to me by your mother when she was alive.

She told me not to give it to you

unless absolutely necessary.

But I died long ago, and my spirit is weak.

I may dissipate at any moment.

Now

you're the last True Dragon of our clan.

This sacred relic of our clan

should be kept by you.

Remember,

though this Water-Control Orb holds immense power,

until you have the strength to control it,

treasure your own life above all.

I only learned much later...

Weiyun's heart burned with vengeance,

so

she chose to forcefully absorb that Water-Control Orb

to obtain the True Dragon Power.

The Water-Control Orb is

the greatest treasure of the True Dragon Clan.

It can naturally absorb all demon power for its own use.

Since ancient times,

this orb has absorbed countless demon powers,

making it very unstable.

It's a double-edged sword.

To control it is to command rain and storm;

to be controlled by it

is to fall into madness overnight.

I can't believe...

I failed to absorb it.

Ever since she found out

in the Dragon Cave what my father had done

to her mother,

Long Weiyun

hated me to the very core.

But I had no idea.

Until one day,

she suddenly asked me a question.

What kind of person

do you think your father is?

How should I...

answer that?

After all, he is my biological father.

Yes.

Do you like me?

What?

You... You...

You... I... I...

Weiyun...

I'll take you somewhere.

[Dragon Clan's Habitat]

There's such a beautiful place

in this desert.

I've never seen it before.

Do you know what this place used to be?

Was it a place

as beautiful as you are?

This was once our dragon clan's habitat.

Thousands of years ago,

this desert was once an oasis, with clear skies and blue waters.

Later,

the oasis turned into a desert,

and our clan declined.

So our dragon demons became rare.

But our dragon clan has always had a custom.

We bring the person we love, who loves us in return...

to this place.

You haven't answered the question

I asked you at home.

Do you like me?

I-I do.

I like you.

What do you like about me?

I like the way you look when you're lost in thought.

I like how you

have a cold expression

but a soft heart.

I like following behind you...

watching your back.

Anyway...

I like everything about you.

So much that

I'd do

anything for you.

I remember...

today is your birthday.

You even remember that?

How about I give you a gift?

Great!

Wait, Weiyun.

I also have a gift for you.

Look.

I searched for this flagon

for a long time.

I just hope...

every time you drink in the future,

you'll think of me.

Okay.

Weiyun,

it's your turn.

Should I close my eyes?

Wow...

It's so beautiful.

So beautiful.

Weiyun.

Can you...

promise me one thing?

Go ahead.

From now on, every year on my birthday,

will you make it snow for me?

Mm.

Okay.

Our dragon clan has now declined,

so

if you encounter any difficulties absorbing

the Water-Control Orb,

you can use this.

Never forcefully absorb it, or you'll lose your life.

This is the Love Gu of the Southern Border.

It can only be planted on someone

who has deep feelings for you

and is devoted to you heart and soul.

From then on,

they will bear all the pain for you

and be controlled by you.

That day,

she planted the Love Gu on me,

wanting me to take on the pain

during the process of absorbing

the Water-Control Orb.

I understood her.

After all, I was Quan Jingting's son.

That surname,

etched into my blood,

was itself

an invisible harm to her.

And in my heart,

I too lived with that same torment.

I liked her,

so I didn't blame her.

I was willing to bear all the pain for her.

The pain from the backlash

was actually easier to bear than watching her forcibly swallow her hatred

all those years.

From now on...

never give your true heart to the wrong person again.

The moment the Gu Mark disappeared,

I suddenly wanted to laugh.

It turned out she still didn't understand—

from the moment

she kidnapped me and healed my illness,

my life

had already belonged to her.

It's not worth it.

Why isn't it worth it?

You struggled so hard to survive as a child...

yet you still mastered such swordsmanship.

With talent like yours,

you should never lay down your sword.

Ah.

I can accept you looking at me that way.

I'm a fool, and I know it.

Even so...

I never hated her.

How did you

find out about all this?

I only learned about it

much later from others.

I thought my father

had merely played with her mother's heart.

But who'd have known...

I underestimated him.

He somehow learned

that Weiyun possessed the Water-Control Orb.

He also wanted that power.

And at that time, Long Weiyun

had just absorbed the Water-Control Orb

and couldn't fully control it.

He took advantage of it.

Quan Jingting,

today

I'll make you suffer a hundredfold for what you did to my mother!

You dragon demons

are really stupid.

You actually walked into my trap.

Kill her!

Kill her!

You just said

you'd make me suffer a hundredfold for the pain I caused your mother.

Do you know

how many times I cut off your mother's

dragon horns as they grew back,

huh?

You bastard!

I won't let you die so easily!

Do you know how miserably she screamed

when I scraped the scales from her body?

Quan Jingting!

Do you know...

why only your mother's skull remains?

I guessed right.

A berserk dragon loses its sense of self.

The violent power of the Water-Control Orb will consume

a True Dragon's mind.

Oh no.

I can't let Weiyun rush into the town!

I must stop her here!

I'll kill you!

Even if I die,

I won't allow my Weiyun

to become so cruel!

Weiyun,

I know

you wouldn't hurt me.

You know it's me,

right?

Weiyun,

I'm Rumu.

The Rumu

who has followed you since childhood!

Have you forgotten?

I'm Rumu!

Quan...

Rumu...

Weiyun!

Weiyun!

Weiyun!

I'll take you home.

That day,

Weiyun and I were both gravely injured.

The Water-Control Orb

has been missing ever since.

Later,

when I woke up,

Long Weiyun had left.

So all these years,

I've been looking for her.

Alright,

the wine's finished,

and so is the story.

Fugui,

I have a favor to ask.

After I die,

if you meet Long Weiyun,

tell her for me

that I, Quan Rumu,

never hated her.

Also,

earlier you asked me

what my sword essence is.

Fugui.

Given my body's current condition,

I avoid practicing swordsmanship if I can.

But today...

I'll make an exception for you.

Live freely and carelessly;

show gratitude before it's expected.

This is my sword essence.

It's not like yours.

Yours is profound and far-reaching,

bearing the weight of the world,

while mine

lacks all ambition.

Fugui.

I'm tired.

I'll rest now.

Remember what I asked of you.

[Live freely and carelessly; show gratitude before it's expected]

Rumu.

As long as I'm still alive,

I'll never let you die.

Young Master Fugui,

have some water and take a break.

Okay.

News from the Silk Cave.

Young Master Fugui,

the Chief of the Silk Cave has sent word.

Young Master Fugui...

The Chief said...

something has happened at Wangquan Manor.

What happened?

The heads of the prestigious families attacked Chief Wangquan.

He was forced to forsake his sword.

Now...

now we don't know if he's alive or dead.

Stop.

Fugui,

at a time like this,

I won't just stand by and do nothing.

If you and I go, there are two possible outcomes:

we fail to save him and fall into a trap,

or we succeed,

and Chief Wangquan and I are branded traitors to the Yiqi Alliance.

Which would you choose?

Neither is acceptable.

If the alliance changes leadership now,

the world will surely fall into chaos.

[Wangquan]

[Exterminate All Demons]

Wangquan Manor...

I'm back.

[Exterminate All Demons]

Greetings, Master.

[Exterminate All Demons]

Many in the Yiqi Alliance...

think I'm unworthy of this position.

Today...

I'll show them

the fate of those who oppose me—

human or demon.

Charge into the East Region

and avenge the Eastern City.

Spare

no demons.

-Attack the East Region! -Attack the East Region!

-Avenge the Eastern City! -Avenge the Eastern City!

-Spare no demons! -Spare no demons!

[Exterminate All Demons]

-Attack the East Region! -Attack the East Region!

-Avenge the Eastern City! -Avenge the Eastern City!

-Spare no demons! -Spare no demons!

-Spare no demons! -Spare no demons!

-Spare no demons! -Spare no demons!

From this day forward, the Yiqi Alliance

will exterminate every demon without exception.

Kill them.
