[The World of Fantasy]

[Episode 5]

Yu Shi?

Something's up.

What is?

Emergency at Xingyun Pavilion.

The old master of Xingyun Pavilion,

the whole Ye family including Ye Yang Qiu,

and two of their closest families,

all wiped out overnight.

Who did it?

The four families of Xingyun Pavilion

got wiped out in just one night.

Not even the servants were spared.

What a coldblooded and vicious murderer.

It sends chills down my spine.

Qin Lie,

do you know who the murderer is?

Hundreds of lives were taken silently in just one night.

Could it be

the Soul Reaping Beast?

It's impossible.

The Soul Reaping Beast

was already killed by the Saintess.

This is equivalent to

eradicating Xingyun Pavilion.

I had reported this matter to the Palace of Hell.

I'll kill this villain once the

actual perpetrator is identified.

Profound Heaven Emissary,

in light of Xingyun Pavilion's misfortune,

I hope you could report it to the Saintess

and help Xingyun Pavilion weather the storm.

Right!

Please help us with this, Profound Heaven Emissary.

Alright.

Yu Shi,

where are you going?

Whether the Soul Reaping Beast is the murderer or not,

I need to stop by Ling Borough.

I'm worried about their safety.

No.

It's too dangerous to go there alone.

I'll go with you.

Qin Lie, how about you?

Nonsense!

I would never tip off the Alliance and get killed.

Do you think...

It can't be the Soul Reaping Beast.

Let's go.

Xiao Ying!

Hua Yu Xin?

Go back and wait.

Xiao Ying, can I come with you?

No, Master Hua specifically ordered me

not to take you there.

Have you found Xuan Xuan?

Go back and have a rest.

Let us handle this.

Let's go!

-Yes, let's go. -Yes.

Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Xuan Xuan.

Xuan Xuan.

Yu Xin, what's wrong with you?

Isn't Xuan Xuan back yet?

Several teams have been

searching for her for days

for hundreds of miles of Ling Borough,

but to no avail.

Stop crying. Let's go.

We'll discuss it when we get back.

I... I can walk by myself.

You guys can go back.

Xuan Xuan would be happy

to see someone waiting for her

if she gets back.

Xingyun Pavilion

was almost annihilated in just one night.

There's no need to guess.

It must be the Du family.

Something doesn't feel right.

Not to mention that

the Du family of Xingyun Pavilion doesn't have the power.

Even if they have the power,

why did they kill all the forces

and left the shell of Xingyun Pavilion?

To build a tavern?

The Ling Borough must be affected

if something has happened to Xingyun Pavilion.

How about this?

Qin Lie, Gao Yu,

tell them

to alert the whole borough in addition

to finding Xuan Xuan.

Yes, sir.

Father,

something happened to Xingyun Pavilion.

I know.

Uncle Xiang came here today.

They deserved it.

Father!

Xuan Xuan may be a wilful child,

but this all started

because Du Shao Yang forced her to marry him.

I would never forgive him

if anything happens to Xuan Xuan.

And Xingyun Pavilion.

[Outside the Far North's borders, at the foot of Qisha Valley]

This person is really weird.

She's still wearing like that right now.

Right, it's a strange world.

Look at her vacant expression.

Could she be a ditz?

Look at this model.

They both have excellent

material and colour.

Lady,

do you want to buy clothes?

Mr Proprietor,

look, it's very pretty.

Mr Proprietor, how much is this cloth?

It's not expensive. Only 300 stone coins.

How about this?

That's not expensive either.

Only 130 stone coins.

Then,

which cloth can I buy with two stone coins?

Two stone coins?

-This... -I can't buy any of them?

Forget it.

I'll leave then.

Don't leave.

If you just walk out like this without buying anything,

I'll lose the reputation of my store.

Two stone coins...

Wait here. I'll take it for you now.

-My bag! Stop there! -Catch the thief!

Catch the thief!

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

-Get out of my way! -Stop there!

To hell with you!

Stop there!

Watch where you're going!

Xuan Xuan!

Xuan Xuan!

Xuan Xuan!

Xuan Xuan!

Yu Xin has been staying at the South Door

since he came back from Xingyun Pavilion.

He wouldn't eat, drink, sleep,

or go home.

Master Hua is so mad that he wants to kill someone.

And his wife cried so hard.

Gao Yu,

I tend to think...

Think what?

How do I say it?

It feels like

someone is following us.

What do you mean?

I'm saying that

I think there's a

non-existent person in Ling Borough.

Where?

This is what I think.

There's no one here.

Don't try to scare me.

I must be rattled

as I have a lot on my mind recently.

Let's go.

Let's have a drink with Yu Xin.

Get him drunk

and send him back to have a sleep.

I was thinking the same thing.

We finally get to drink together,

yet we're wallowing in misery.

It was you who dragged me here.

How can I drink

when Xuan Xuan is still missing?

Can you stop talking about Xuan Xuan just for a while?

With all the things happening,

we hardly had a chance to sit down and drink together.

If one day, a windstorm comes

and takes one of us away,

we'd never have a gathering again.

What are you crying for?

If I don't cry now,

it would be useless for me to cry

when we can't meet each other.

Qin Lie,

Gao Yu,

thanks, guys.

What's that for?

We grew up together.

As a child, I was timid, and an outlander to boot.

Yet you guys were willing to take me as your brother

and look after me.

Beware of getting drunk

as you drank that much.

Come on!

Come on!

Qin Lie, Gao Yu,

I never thought that

I would dare to fight.

You think Ling Borough is so great?

You think you're all that because

your father is the master?

Go on and cry!

You're a big man? Go on and cry!

Cry. No one's going to help you.

Stop!

Why do you pick on Yu Shi?

Beat him up!

-Father, mother! -Beat him up!

Help me!

I thought you were strong.

Yes.

-I thought you were strong. -Coward!

-Coward! Coward! -Bring it on!

-Coward! -Don't pick on him!

I didn't expect

Yu Xin to be the first one

to fight.

When I arrived,

-I thought I was dreaming. -True.

Qin Lie, Gao Yu,

that was the first time I fought

and got injured.

But I was happy,

ha...happy.

After that,

you guys took me as your brother.

I still remembered that Yu Shi was injured that time

and Gao Yu was the first one to rush to Yu Shi...

This bookworm

drinks like a fish.

How are you going to face Yu Shi?

About the murder in Xingyun Pavilion,

I...I really suspect the Soul Reaping Beast.

You didn't know it before

or you pretended not to know it.

But now, she's confessed her feelings to you.

Confessed?

Qin Lie,

Yu Xin already told me.

You're a man.

You couldn't even dare to face a woman?

Either accept her or

set her straight.

Do you like her after all these years?

I drank too much.

Send him home.

I think your conscience is sealed by the Soul Suppressing Orb.

Why are you still here?

I waited for you all night.

Where were you?

Patrolling.

Something just doesn't feel right.

The one who drank with us last night

was not Yu Xin.

What?

Last night,

when I sent Yu Xin home.

Let's go.

Qin Lie,

Gao Yu,

why am I here?

Is Xuan Xuan back yet?

Yu Xin,

what had happened yesterday

after we left?

I remembered that I met a lady

after you guys went back to town.

She was wearing a purple cloak.

Miss,

did you come from the snowfield?

Then, have you seen a girl?

Her name is Xuan Xuan. She wears a gown made of animal skin.

I asked her whether she had seen Xuan Xuan before.

She said she had seen her before.

And then...

Then?

I can't remember what happened after that.

Yu Xin,

you're finally awake.

You scared me to death!

Last night when you came back,

you slept as soon as you laid down.

We couldn't wake you up.

Your father and I thought you were sick.

Turns out you're lovesick.

Madam,

we'll leave for now as we have something to do.

What do I like to eat the most?

The dishes which Yu Shi cooked.

What do I like to eat the most?

I have no idea.

Don't do that.

I really don't know.

You usually eat whatever you have.

I've never seen you so picky about food.

Alright.

It seems you're right that

the Soul Reaping Beast didn't die.

It must've followed us

all the way

after the massacre at Xingyun Pavilion.

Calm down.

Why is it following us?

To kill people?

We are all already dead

if it wants to kill people.

And most of the people in Ling Borough are outlanders without spiritual powers.

There's no point in eating them.

Then what should we do now?

Tell the master?

Are you sure this is the real master?

Do we need to ask his favourite food too?

The master might be fake.

The elder might be fake too.

Then, every person in Ling Borough might be fake as well.

The Soul Reaping Beast can transform into anyone.

It'll cause a panic

if we spread the news now.

There'll be suspicion

and paranoia.

All hell will break loose.

Find more jade plates.

The more the better.

I'll store the thunder energy in these jade plates

and wait until the Soul Reaping Beast appears,

thousands of Thunder Storage Jade Plates will be thrown to it.

This can scare it away

even if it didn't get killed.

Are you sure about this?

Yes, I'm sure.

But I have no money.

Gao Yu! Gao Yu!

Don't go! I really don't have money.

Yu Shi?

You're back.

Why are you still here

at this late hour?

A lot of things have happened recently.

I can't fall asleep.

You can't fall asleep?

Drink some warm water, it'll be better.

Yu Shi,

what's wrong with you?

What are you doing?

Look, Qin Lie came to see Yu Shi again.

Yu Shi,

come out here for a second.

I have something to tell you.

You should go.

We have nothing to say.

Stop there.

You just leave as I told you to.

Are you really that sick of me?

You even refuse to look at me.

Then, why did you eat the dishes that I cooked

and wear the clothes that I made?

Stop there.

You're so rude to Yu Shi.

And you can't even take a scolding.

Qin Lie, you call yourself a man?

She hasn't finished, you can't leave.

Why do you stare at me? Are you going to hit me?

Alright,

go ahead.

Scold me.

You thought I'm scolding you?

Qin Lie,

I really can't stand it anymore.

I never complain about the way you treat me.

But you even pushed me away last night

when I devoted myself to you.

Today,

you're standing in front of me as if nothing had happened.

How can I stand it?

Say something! Say it!

What do you want me to say?

Either she kills me

or I kill myself.

Qin Lie,

your house is on fire, and it's being robbed.

Come back with me.

She's gone nuts!

Do you sense

something off about Yu Shi?

I suspect that she is the Soul Reaping Beast.

I would rather that she was the Soul Reaping Beast just now.

It's not funny!

If she really was the incarnation of the Soul Reaping Beast,

then it could explain why

she was acting abnormally just now.

Was she?

I feel she treated you exactly right.

I'm talking about the Soul Reaping Beast!

The Soul Reaping Beast transformed into Yu Xin,

and now

Yu Shi.

What on earth does it want?

It certainly comes after Qin Lie.

Saintess Song!

Profound Heaven Emissary,

how impressive!

I'm just safekeeping it temporarily.

Saintess Xie died at the claws of the Soul Reaping Beast.

If I don't kill the Soul Reaping Beast on this trip,

I would be ashamed to go back to the Profound Heaven Alliance.

If you could help me hunt the Soul Reaping Beast,

I'll let the matter of

the Profound Heaven Badge drop.

Saintess Song, you said that

the Soul Reaping Beast came after Qin Lie?

The Soul Reaping Beast is very vengeful.

How could it not take revenge on Qin Lie

as he hurt it in the God Trapping Cave?

How is it going to take revenge on me?

Transform into Ling Yu Shi.

Are you sure that this Yu Shi is the fake one?

It's been a few days since I got here.

I have been lurking and never show up.

That's what I'm saying.

There's a non-existent person in Ling Borough recently.

I thought it was the Soul Reaping Beast.

It was me.

Once the Soul Reaping Beast is in the dark,

I'll be in the dark as well.

I've been observing each person in Ling Borough.

I'm sure that the current Ling Yu Shi

is the Soul Reaping Beast.

Why does it transform into Yu Shi?

Destroying one's soul is more lethal than killing people.

The power of the Soul Reaping Beast is that

it can transform into the person you care the most

to confuse you,

let you destroy the woman you love the most by your own hand.

I love the most...

It doesn't matter whether she is or not.

She will die anyway.

You mean

you're going to kill this Yu Shi?

Of course.

No.

What if this Yu Shi is the real one?

I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

Let alone

I can't be wrong.

Let's go.

May I borrow this?

You guys look awful.

Looks like I was right.

If this Yu Shi is the fake one,

where's the real one?

Maybe she got eaten.

Then we can't kill her.

Why?

First,

I need sufficient evidence to prove that

this Yu Shi is the fake one.

Second, if she really is the fake one,

I'd need to find out Yu Shi's whereabouts.

Ling Yu Shi is already dead!

-What if she isn't? -Calm down!

Calm down, everyone.

Someone's here.

Qin Lie,

the master wants to see you.

Uncle Ling,

you wished to see me?

Come here.

Offer an incense for Yu Shi's mother.

[Ancestor's Memorial Tablet]

Come, Qin Lie.

Come.

There's a thing I want to discuss with you.

Let me know what you think.

I want to betroth Yu Shi to Yu Xin.

What?

What about Xuan Xuan?

Look, Xuan Xuan hasn't been back for so long.

Yu Xin is heartbroken.

If I betroth Yu Shi to him,

I can make it up to him.

Yu Xin is stubborn.

The one he likes is Xuan Xuan.

He won't be happy even if he gets to marry Yu Shi.

Once they get married, she'll grow on him.

Uncle Ling,

is this a joke?

I knew it was a joke.

How can one force love?

So you know love can't be forced.

Looks like I've been joshing you so much

that you forgot I'm the master.

Master.

You're not interested in Yu Shi,

yet you never made your feelings clear to her.

You make Yu Shi suffer.

If it wasn't for your grandfather,

I would have beaten you to death.

What are you doing?

Hitting the unfaithful fiend

and avenging Yu Shi.

Then you should at least

wait until I've finished speaking.

Haven't you finished yet?

It hurts.

Bear with it!

It hurts!

Gao Yu,

I suspect Uncle Ling is the Soul Reaping Beast.

Is it here?

-Is it here? -It hurts!

Enough! I'm going to kill Ling Yu Shi now!

Don't you dare!

Calm down!

Qin Lie,

Saintess Song and I had a discussion

while you were away.

Saintess Song is sensible.

She agreed and said

she will only decide what to do next

after we proved Ling Yu Shi is fake.

How to prove it?

The Soul Reaping Beast may be scary,

but it is naive.

It'll reveal its true colours

once it gets what it wants.

To tell if it's real,

you must make it think you've fallen into its trap.

How to do it?

No!

I would never say those words to Yu Shi.

Why?

What if

this Yu Shi is the real one?

She's fake.

She is the fake one.

Yu Shi,

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

Are you hungry

or are your clothes torn?

She is the fake one...fake.

Yu Shi,

I...

Let go of me.

I like you.

I've liked you since childhood,

but I never had the guts to confess.

I promised my grandfather that I'll become the Supreme Lord.

I'm afraid that I'll have to leave Ling Borough someday.

I'm a thunder practitioner.

Every time I ascend to a new realm, I risk being obliterated.

The Soul Suppressing Orb is still sealing my memories.

I...

I...

I'm afraid I might get you into trouble

as I have lots of enemies.

I'm not afraid of missing you for eternity,

but I'm afraid of letting you wait for eternity.

Liar.

I can cook,

but I'd rather you cook.

I can sew,

but I'd rather you sew.

I can make money by hunting spirit beasts,

but I'd rather borrow from you.

I want to be with you every day.

I understand.

I'm always the one you trust the most

and care the most.

I swear to heaven and earth.

You are my happiness

and my sadness.

If you wish to have an ordinary life,

I'll abandon my dream of being the Supreme Lord.

If you're willing to join me

in my path to become the Supreme Lord,

I'll give you all of my achievements.

I only wish to be with you

for the rest of life.

Let us face everything

together in the future.

Really?

Yu Shi,

marry me.

How is it?

Are you sure?

That Yu Shi is the fake one.

She is the Soul Reaping Beast.

How about the real Yu Shi?

Ling Yu Shi

was eaten by the Soul Reaping Beast.

The Soul Reaping Beast chose Ling Yu Shi

because it knew you couldn't kill her.

Qin Lie, could you?

I'll do it if he can't!

I'll do it!

Tell me.

How to kill it?

Tomorrow morning,

you'll ask the Ling family for her hand in marriage.

What?

You're back.

Gao Yu,

do you trust Song Ting Yu?

What do you mean?

I don't trust her.

The Soul Reaping Beast is real,

and it's true that she wants to kill it.

But I still don't trust her.

Her mind is too complicated.

It's really hard to keep track.

What is your idea?

I want you to find the Master of Frost.

The Master of Frost?

We've never met the Master of Frost before,

yet she ordered the frostwolves to help us.

I think

she is well-intentioned.

Only the Master of Frost

can save the day if things go south.

I don't know if I can find her.

Will they even

bother with me even if I found her?

Moreover,

I can't make it back either

if something happens here.

We're dead already before you

come back if something really happens.

At least you're alive.

You can restore justice for us

after knowing the truth.

Okay.

I'll be quick.

Gao Yu.

Yu Shi?

Why are you here?

Qin Lie asked my father for my hand.

At the moment when my father agrees,

I only know

the one I love isn't him.

It's you.

You're not Ling Yu Shi.

You're Soul Reaping Beast.

I'm Yu Shi.

I'm the Ling Yu Shi that you've been dreaming of,

the Ling Yu Shi that you love.

Ain't I?

Take me with you.

Take me far away.

Do you know why I spared only you

when I unleashed that bloodbath in Xingyun Pavilion?

On the surface,

you seem like a suave, easy-going person.

But deep down, you carry a lot of baggage.

Gao Yu,

I saw your evil side.

You are the one we, the Dark Nether Race, have been looking for.

Once you're reborn,

you will use the Du family for your cause,

for the Dark Nether Race's cause.

Sweet dreams.

Have a good sleep.
