(Phantom Love)

(Episode 16)

(I sense killing intent. This is bad.)

Your demon power is weak.

Why bother struggling?

Today, you're not getting out of here alive.

Li!

- What's up? - I found a story I want to tell you.

Li, something's wrong.

Bai sent a butterfly back.

I'm afraid he got snatched by a demon hunter.

Everyone, stay calm. I'll be back in a jiffy.

Okay.

Why isn't Li back yet?

What are you doing here?

Little Bell Demon,

have you ever left the demon village?

So what if I haven't?

The cornerstone of the barrier

can't leave the demon village.

Look into hidden places

for a Suanni beast that looks like a lion.

It looks like I am right.

You

are the cornerstone guarding the village barrier.

Shen Que, no one in the demon village has ever done anything evil.

If you hurt me, you'll put them all in danger.

Li will definitely come after you.

You'll regret it for sure.

I slay demons and purge evil.

What's there to regret?

Focus and immobilize your soul.

Still water, no ripples.

Li!

Bell Demon.

Protect the Prince of Xian!

(Li.)

(Li, you're finally back!)

You're finally back!

Do you know while you were gone,

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

I had to assume my original form to force myself to calm down.

Don't worry about me.

Bai.

We need to trust Li.

She can handle this.

Love means going against your own selfishness,

cowardice,

betrayal, and greed.

Love is a moment that exists outside of order.

It's seeing someone's flaws,

and still feeling like you owe them.

Li.

You've been entering dreams and you were injured.

Your spiritual power is almost drained.

If you don't devour the nightmares of the truly wicked

to cultivate,

I'm afraid you won't have the strength to look for the spiritual root.

(I won't forgive you.)

(Shen Que...)

Welcome back, Your Highness.

What's in these two baskets?

Your Highness.

Meng Li prepared these...

You've worked hard today, Your Highness.

Master still hasn't recovered.

He can't leave seclusion for now.

He asked me to give you a message.

You entered the demon village alone.

That's a huge accomplishment.

You're truly brave.

The people are lucky to have you.

Tell him I appreciate that.

I'll visit him another day.

Your Highness, please get some rest.

His Highness was wounded by that demon girl.

He lost all his memories.

He barely escaped the demon village after everything he went through.

Remember. Don't ever mention his past

with that demon girl in front of him.

It'll mess with his mind.

So Miss Meng Li actually hurt His Highness?

Don't ask questions you shouldn't.

Just take care of His Highness.

Noted.

Why are you all so lazy?

If you tried a little harder, you could take human form.

Don't just sit around all day.

Come on, get up and move!

- Move a little! - So what if we take human form?

(All we do is soak up the sun every day)

(and absorb the essence of nature.)

There are so many perks to taking human form.

You can move around freely.

You can explore every corner of the world.

Instead of being stuck

in one spot like this, unable to move.

(But you've already taken human form.)

(And you're still here with us.)

(How are you any different?)

You...

Okay. Sorry, Bell Demon.

My bad. I'll work harder on my cultivation from now on.

Don't be mad. We all know

you're staying here

for the sake of our barrier.

You're a real hero for our clan.

Honestly, things are pretty good like this.

Our clan has a river

and shimmering lights everywhere.

To be able to protect a place this beautiful,

I'm already content.

But what is the outside world really like?

If there weren't any demon hunters,

I'd want to be the wind.

I go wherever I want,

and see everything the books talk about.

To protect us,

you never got to see the outside world.

In your next life,

be a tree

or a gust of wind.

It's your choice.
