(Phantom Love)

(Episode 9)

(Meng Li,)

(you really are a demon.)

Kneel.

Come here.

Take this.

Oops.

I forgot to do this where people couldn't see.

It's fine.

You won't get to see anyone else ever again.

You're such a disgrace.

Who are you?

I can't believe you

were hiding something like this.

You abused your wife and killed your child.

People like you are worse than animals.

And you have the nerve to keep living in this world?

I was wrong.

I'm begging you. Please let me go.

I'm sorry.

In your dreams.

Even if you got ten more chances, you still wouldn't feel any remorse.

Does it hurt?

But your wife

suffers like this every single day for years.

I swear I'll never do it again.

How can I

take your word for it?

What do I have to do

to make you believe me?

What do I have to do to make you believe me?

Maybe only the dead

can keep their promises.

(This is exactly how my brother died.)

(You killed my brother.)

Fanxuan Treasure Chant.

Boundless blessings.

Protected by all the gods.

Heavenly sins are wiped away.

Respect all the teachings.

No delay is allowed.

Take her back. Lock her in the dungeon.

All of you are dismissed.

- Your Highness. - You're dismissed.

You plotted every move,

calculated every step,

just to get close to me.

What are you really after?

So many of my kin

died for nothing because of you.

Tell me.

What do you think I want?

You played me like a fool.

Did that make you happy?

All those heartfelt words,

those promises,

none of it meant a thing.

It was all just lies you made up

to get close to me.

Yes.

Then what about this?

When you gave this to me,

what were you really thinking?

Was it

just another part of your plan too?

Yes.

So you never truly cared about me.

Prince of Xian,

don't tell me

you actually fell for a demon like me.

Who gave you the nerve

to mess with me like this?

Tell me.

Was my brother's death back then

also your doing?

Oh?

Prince of Xian,

now you're going to pin fake charges

on me too?

Back then,

the famous Grand Marshal

died under mysterious circumstances.

The way he died

was exactly like Hu Zheng's.

Who else but you could've done it?

So it was him.

Where am I?

Guards!

Guards!

For fleeting moments of power,

you wiped out your loyal consort's entire family.

And you even used your own brother's life as leverage.

You forced His Majesty to hand over the throne to you.

Deep down,

you have no gratitude for those who stood by you,

and no love for your own family.

You don't deserve to be called human.

You'll always

be a slave to power.

If you want the throne so badly,

then stay here

and be the emperor all you want.

No, no!

Please, no!

No!

No.

No.

You finally remember.

All these years,

my brother was the only one who was ever good to me.

Why did you kill him?

Why did it have to be you?

Why did you kill him?

Tell me.

Speak!

Dream-Eater

is skilled at seduction and deception.

It lurks deep in its prey's heart.

It uses wickedness to fight evil,

luring them into a web of nightmares.

Your Highness,

you already know the answer in your heart.

Only by devouring the nightmares

of those

guilty of terrible crimes

can I cultivate.

That perfect brother you know

wasn't a good person at all.

Shut up.

Don't say another word.

You demon.

Even now, after everything,

you're still full of malice.

You still dare to twist the truth

and spew out lies.

Today, I

will make sure you

pay with your life right here.

I'll give justice

to those innocent souls.

(I never thought in this life,)

(we'd still end up like this.)
