(Phantom Love)

(Episode 2)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Go take a look.

Your Highness, her wounds are too serious. She's unconscious.

(The sword hasn't changed color.)

(Her identity is also confirmed.)

(Fine.)

(Then I'll give you a chance to slip up.)

Bring her back to the manor.

Take care of her.

Yes.

Your Highness, she's already taken her medicine.

She'll be fine in no time after some rest.

- The guest room is... - No need.

Let her stay here tonight.

Don't restrict her movements.

I'm curious to see what tricks she has left.

Also,

have the guards spy on her.

If anything happens,

don't act without orders.

Yes.

(Why do I feel)

(like I know her?)

(Just as I expected,)

(Shen Que really thought he was clever by keeping me in his manor.)

(Once he falls asleep,)

(I'll enter his dreams)

(and reclaim my spiritual root.)

(Under the moonlight,)

(every moment is worth a fortune.)

(Even the coldest heart)

(can't resist this move.)

(From this moment,)

(your heart will be mine.)

(Bright as the moon,)

(steady as a rock.)

(Could it be)

(she's really not a demon?)

(So it's that easy to make you fall for someone.)

(Then don't blame me for being ruthless.)

(This is the gateway to his inner dream?)

(How come?)

(Is his current level of affection)

(still not enough to unlock his inner dream?)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

(I can't believe I dreamed of her that way.)

What brings you here?

I wanted to ask you

why I am in your manor.

Who are you, really?

I'm Meng Li.

A dancer from the Nuo opera troupe.

Thank you for tending to my injuries.

You're not fully healed yet.

Stay here and focus on recuperating.

Once you're better,

you'll be free to leave.

(I've been dreaming about her for days now.)

(This isn't as simple as it looks.)

(It looks like my plan worked.)

(Jingui Bank)

Li, you're back!

Hey, watch out!

Li, you're back!

Yo! Li, you're back!

Cat demon, I'll heal you in your dream later.

All right!

- Li, you're back. - Yes.

- Li, you're back. - Yes.

Li!

Have you been training lately?

How's your spirit invoking technique?

I've been practicing a lot.

- Mm. - Long.

The demon mark on your forehead is getting clearer.

You're about to become a powerful demon.

I want to grow up fast.

Li, check out mine.

- Look at mine. - Yours too.

Yours is good too.

Li.

Wait for me!

Li.

Li, you're finally back!

Do you know that while you were out,

I was so worried I couldn't eat or sleep?

I could only turn back to my true form to force myself to calm down.

Don't worry about me.

Everything's going just as we planned.

Mm.

Li.

After seeing him,

do you feel okay?

Even though I hate him,

all I care about is getting my spiritual root back

and regaining my demon power.

Nothing else matters.

But what about you? You keep hanging out by the door.

Isn't it boring?

No way.

There are many stories in these books.

I'm reading the story of a rhino demon who turns into a mythical beast.

It's super exciting.

I'll go grab it and tell you all about it.

Mm.

Li.

Did you sneak into his dream?

Yes.

I created a dream that's in my favor.

I've already planted the anchor.

Mu, lately,

I've been dreaming about the same person every night.

The dreams are hard to describe.

But I can't remember much after I wake up.

You always dream of the same person?

The dream feels so real.

Every time I wake up,

I'm dazed for a moment.

I can't tell if it's real

or just a dream.

Of course, it feels real to him.

After all, that dream

is built on his hidden desires.

How does he react after waking up?

He's a bit shaken.

But Shen Que

is ruthless and cunning.

He hasn't let his guard down completely.

He still doubts my identity.

Qing Lan has already looked into it.

This woman

is indeed an orphan from the Nuo opera troupe.

But ever since she arrived,

I've been having dreams every night.

In the dream,

she hurts me.

I also...

Also what?

After you woke up,

did she hurt you?

No, she didn't.

She hasn't done anything out of line outside the dream.

This must just be part of her deception.

Tell me.

Is there any demon

who uses this technique?

Your Highness,

as far as I know,

every demon has a true form when they cultivate.

Even the Five Elements Annihilation Array couldn't reveal her true form.

It's pretty clear she's just an ordinary human.

Maybe it's because she's been around you day and night for so long.

That's why you dream of her.

We can't take this lightly.

We need to find out which demon

uses this technique.

Noted.

I'm really curious.

What will she do next?

I've taken care of everything.

You can safely take her place.

No one will question your identity as an orphan.

Now,

we can move on to the next step.

Li.

Qingdu Temple is searching for the demon village.

We're running out of time.

All right.

If Your Highness has doubts,

why not hand over the suspect

to Qingdu Temple?

Master, you're here.

State Preceptor, do you have a plan?

The iron rule of the demon clan

is that they can't kill each other.

If all demons unite as one,

no human force

can stand against them.

It's better to kill indiscriminately

than let anyone slip away.

Rest assured, State Preceptor.

I know what I'm doing.

I'll handle it properly.

Prince of Xian is merciful.

If necessary,

just find someone to take care of that woman.

Noted.

Your Highness, Miss Meng Li left the residence by herself.

She went to Jingui Bank.

Where's Li?

She's healing Mo Jing. She can't leave the dream for now.

There's unusual activity at the barrier.

It must be Shen Que.
