=Episode 6=

Cousin, my fan.

I want to play, too. Teach me.

I'll walk Ling'er to her room.

- All right. - Let's go, Ling'er.

Be careful.

Oh, no.

The way you taught me to break off the engagement

is too cumbersome.

I still have to make everything clear to Father.

I should go.

- Cousin... - I'm getting back.

Cousin.

(Virtues Blessing Future Generations)

Master, this is the wedding arrangement.

Check it out.

No, no.

Yueru, why are you so drunk?

Hurry. Get her back to her room.

Stop.

I'm not drunk, Father.

The wedding...

No.

Miss, does any of the arrangement

dissatisfy you?

I don't like Li Xiaoyao.

And I'm not marrying him.

It doesn't matter, Yueru.

You two can get married first

and then bond.

Indeed, Mr. Li

is average-looking.

But he has a great potential.

Father,

that has nothing to do with me.

I'm just not getting married, anyway.

I, Lin Yueru,

will travel around the world, help the weak,

and become a heroine.

The marriage thing

isn't what I should think about.

Listen, Yueru.

Before, I didn't want you to travel around.

But if you marry Mr. Li,

you can work together

to build a wonderful career

and become a chivalrous couple that shocks the martial world.

I don't care.

I'm just not getting married.

(Wedding) If you want a wedding,

you guys marry him.

Come on. Get her back to her room.

Go away.

Xiaoyao,

Yueru promised

she would break off the engagement.

With such a character,

she will keep her word.

I don't worry about her.

I worry about her father.

I think he's determined to marry his daughter to me.

But he cares for Yueru that much.

I think he'll approve.

Glad you're both here.

You just go get packed now.

I'll take you out.

Why, Yueru?

My father insists that I marry this guy.

I'm taking you out now

and I'll try to get you out of the city.

I'm not leaving.

What do you mean?

Aren't you afraid I have to marry you?

I am.

However,

Ling'er isn't well enough now.

She shouldn't travel overnight.

And even if I leave now,

are you sure your powerful father

won't get me back?

What...

What do we do, then?

We can't count on you.

Scholar and I talked about this.

Tomorrow morning,

we're going out of the city to catch the Snake Demon in his name.

After we make it,

Mr. Lin will be more impressed with him.

Then he'll ask for you.

When Mr. Lin is pleased,

he will certainly approve.

Naturally, our engagement will be broken.

Man, you...

What?

Shame on you.

In the end, I still have to get married.

You will be free.

What about me?

You have to know.

It's not that I don't want to get married.

I just don't want to marry you.

I don't want to marry you, either.

What I just said has nothing to do

with your approval.

You...

Xiaoyao,

I don't think this is appropriate.

Yueru has a mind of her own.

And it can't be that easy

to catch the Snake Demon, right?

Tomorrow morning, I'll try to get you out of the city.

Then, I'll go catch the Snake Demon alone.

Maybe when my father is pleased,

I don't need to get married.

No way. I came up with this idea.

What makes you think you can carry it out?

It has nothing to do with your approval.

Now, you either listen to me

or listen to my father.

You...

I should go.

()

(Taihe Restaurant)

Help!

Come help me! Help!

Help!

Come help me!

Bugs.

Bugs.

What are you waiting for?

Come help me! I'm horribly afraid of bugs.

Silly man.

Come back.

You can't restrain me anymore, huh?

You...

My bugs are nontoxic.

You just need to sit here for a while.

- You... - Don't say anything.

Or some other bugs can shut you up.

I should go now.

See you in Nanzhao.

We have really come out.

Cousin.

I didn't know

you could really sneak out of the city under your father's nose.

I could, of course.

To escape, I prepared for a dozen years.

Ling'er, we haven't known each other for a long time,

but we feel like old friends.

This time, I can't go to Nanzhao with you.

But I will visit you someday.

Yueru, it's too dangerous to catch the Snake Demon.

How about you go back home?

A Snake Demon can't scare me at all.

Whether I get married doesn't matter now.

What matters is I must catch the Snake Demon

and prove to my father how strong I am.

Jinyuan, you can't do martial arts. You turn back now.

I can't.

The Snake Demon's cave has a tricky terrain.

And that's not an ordinary demon.

It's too dangerous for you to go alone.

I'll go with you.

You have no martial arts.

If you go, you'll only be my burden.

Yueru, do you have to go?

Yes, of course.

I have to prove to my father

that a woman

can do more things than marry someone.

Since you insist on going,

as your friend, I'll go with you.

Come on. Stop arguing.

Let's just go together.

We can take care of each other,

in case someone is so weak

that she'll be caught by the Snake Demon.

Do you even know where the Snake Demon is?

And what about you?

Stop. I know. I know where it is.

Let's go, Jinyuan.

Scholar, go with me.

He's my cousin. He'll go with me.

- Come with me. - Let's go together.

- Come on. Hurry. - Ling'er, catch up.

Why are you grabbing him so hard?

Why are you, too?

Jinyuan, hurry.

(Suzhou City)

Chief,

they got out of Suzhou City early this morning.

They're heading for the Dragon-hidden Cave

to catch the Snake Demon.

Don't let that demon

ruin our plan.

Yes.

The daughter of the Lady of the South has also arrived, huh?

Keep an eye on her.

Yes.

Sadly,

we haven't found the Spiritual Beads yet.

Once you find them,

let me know immediately.

Yes.

- Jinyuan, do you really know the way? - Be careful.

We've been walking for so long.

We're going the right way.

But the Snake Demon dwells in the Dragon-hidden Cave.

It's said to have a treacherous terrain.

Stop!

Why, Xiaoyao?

It's...

Let me guess,

we may be approaching...

The Snake Demon's lair.

I noticed that right away.

How could any humans live deep within the mountains?

Don't pretend to be experienced.

I noticed this first.

Yueru, Li, calm down.

What do we do, next?

Kill him, of course.

You guys follow me.

You should follow me.

Be very careful, Yueru.

Careful, Ling'er.

This is the Dragon-hidden Cave, I guess.

I'll get in and have a look.

You guys wait here.

Yueru, we'd better get in together.

That's right.

It's too dangerous to get in alone.

When you're in there, don't do anything hasty.

Who would do that?

Yueru, Yueru...

Ling'er, follow me in.

So many passages.

Which one should we take?

That's easy.

Snake Demon, come out!

This is the simplest way.

I believe I'll get him out.

Snake Demon,

if you still don't come out,

I will burn your lair down!

Forget it. Let's search around.

(Male Snake Demon)

- Jinyuan! - Scholar!

- Jinyuan! - Scholar!

- Jinyuan, are you all right? - Scholar!

Wake up, Jinyuan.

Let me try the Resurrection Spell.

Ling'er, you can't use it.

Too risky.

I can't hesitate now.

Snake Demon! Snake Demon!

Recently, a Snake Demon has occupied the Dragon-hidden Cave outside Suzhou City.

Everyone panics.

Ling'er, are you all right?

Xiaoyao,

what do we do?

The Resurrection Spell can heal wounds,

but it can't detoxify the snake venom.

So what now?

(Jinyuan Inn)

It feels great to be alone.

Spiritual Bead?

Father,

how is Jinyuan now?

Luckily, when I took my men to fight the Snake Demon,

I made some antidote.

Otherwise,

Jinyuan would die.

Uncle.

Jinyuan,

you're awake?

How do you feel now?

I'm fine.

Uncle,

may I ask for a favor?

What is it?

Yueru doesn't want to get married now.

Could you please

break off her engagement with Li?

Jinyuan...

I have my own plan for this.

The three of you,

come with me!

Uncle.

(Virtues Blessing Future Generations)

Who allowed you to fight the Snake Demon?

Father, we just wanted to kill the demon for our people.

For our people?

Figure out how strong you really are.

You think some martial arts make you invincible?

You fool!

You didn't get involved alone.

Your cousin got hurt, too!

Mr. Lin, the Snake Demon hurt people.

We can't ignore it just because it's hard to be killed.

The two of you

should get married early.

Then try not to lose your nuts.

- No! - No!

There is

no room for negotiation.

I'm just not getting married.

I would rather be killed by the Snake Demon

than get married!

What did you say?

Slap me.

If Mother were still alive,

she wouldn't force me to get married.

Yueru.

Ling'er,

that must have been embarrassing.

That's not true.

Before, my master and my grandma

often disciplined me.

They didn't let me

do a lot of things.

But...

Later, they were gone.

I started

to miss their nagging.

Yueru,

Mr. Lin is very strict with you.

But he always cares for you.

Hope so.

Li Xiaoyao?

What are you doing here?

Walking around. What? Any problem?

I brought Ling'er some snacks.

The pastry...

You got it from our kitchen, huh?

- Would you like some, then? - Here, Yueru.

Why not?

You eat first, Ling'er.

It's very tasty. Try it.

You don't eat that much. It's for Ling'er.

Give it back. I got this for Ling'er.

Haven't you had enough yet?

I haven't.

- Want a fight, huh? - Stop it.

It's for Ling'er.

- Ling'er, eat. - I have some.

- Eat. - I'll lash you.

Try so hard when you can't beat me up, huh?

I can beat you up.

Ling'er, do you think I can beat him up?

Stop there.

Want to beat me up, seriously?

You silly guy, stop there!

- Can you even touch me? - Still running, huh?

Come on.

I don't think you can even touch me.

(Tablet of Lin Zhigong)

(Tablet of Liu Wan'er)

Honey,

I'm sorry.

I broke my promise again.

Our daughter still failed to get married.

(Tablet of Liu Wan'er) She took Jinyuan on an adventure

and he nearly died.

Luckily,

she has

some good friends

and a sworn sister.

She isn't married.

But anyway,

she has friends to rely on.

Honey,

when you're in heaven,

hope you can bless our daughter

with a happy life

every day.

Then I will

have nothing to worry about.

Father.

I knew

you would understand me.

I understand you.

But remember, you mustn't be...

Rash!

Father,

I know you worry about me.

From now on,

I will think carefully before I do anything.

And I will be

a famous martial artist just like you.

Look, your favorite sweetmeat.

Taste it.

Not bad.

It's sweet.

Let me taste some, then.

Why are you so mean?

My sweet daughter bought this for me.

If you want some,

have a daughter and ask her to buy some.

I won't.

Your daughter always pisses you off.

I don't think she's so good.

Don't talk that way about my sweet daughter.

Then let me taste some.

Come on, Father.

No.

- Mr. Lin, give me some. - No.

Give me some.

(Lin's Shrine) - Don't be so mean. - I just won't.

- Give me some. - My sweet daughter bought it for me.

I am your sweet daughter.

I won't give you any.

I'm so jealous of Yueru

for having such a caring father.

All parents in this world

love their children.

Xiaoyao,

I believe our parents

care about us, too.

However,

they have their duties

and secret reasons.

They must be silently blessing us

somewhere in this world.

You're right.

When we see your parents back in Nanzhao,

I will tell them

what a pretty and kind daughter they have.

Ling'er.

Ling'er,

what's wrong with you?

I'm fine, Xiaoyao.

I just feel a little dizzy.

I'm tired, I guess.

After some rest, I'll be fine.

Let me walk you back, then.

Come on. Be careful.

How do you feel now?

Xiaoyao,

don't worry.

I guess I lost some spiritual power

because I used the Resurrection Spell today.

Ling'er,

promise me.

You won't use this spell again.

Do you hear?

Whatever happens,

I won't leave you in danger.

Not even a little bit.

All right. Get to sleep.

Tomorrow, we're leaving Suzhou City

for Nanzhao.

Xiaoyao.

You will not

leave me, will you?

Silly girl,

I won't leave you.

I won't now

and I won't ever.

I will never leave you.

All right.

Get to sleep.

Somebody! Somebody!

- Dongmei. - Somebody!

Anybody?

- Somebody come! - What's up? What is all the yelling about?

De... Demon!

- A demon in the west-wing chamber. - What?

- So scary. - Don't talk nonsense.

How dare any demon come to our mansion?

It's true.

In... In Miss Zhao's room.

There is really a demon.

- What? - Half human, half snake.

Right in the room.

Yueru, what happened?

Butler, where's my father?

Miss, Master isn't home today.

Jinyuan, take them

to gather our disciples here

and bring more torches.

Ling'er!

Miss.

Wait a minute.

- Snake Demon! - Snake Demon!

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er, where are you?

Ling'er.

She was snatched by the Snake Demon.

It can't be. I'll have my men look for her.

Maybe she left the room to get rid of the Snake Demon.

- Yueru. - Jinyuan.

What now? Where's the Snake Demon?

Jinyuan, send all our men to look for Ling'er.

In and out of the city.

Even if you have to look everywhere,

you must get Ling'er back.

All right.

Dongmei, how did the demon get in?

On my way back to my room,

I passed by Miss Zhao's chamber.

Suddenly...

Suddenly, I heard Miss Zhao scream.

I then broke in to check on her.

And I saw...

I saw...

What did you see?

I saw a Snake Demon in the bed.

It...

It seems to be...

Miss Zhao.

Nonsense!

Dongmei, don't talk nonsense.

How can Miss Zhao be a Snake Demon?

I'm not talking nonsense.

The demon has a human upper body.

I saw its face...

It looks like...

Shut up!

Why do you make up stories to slander Ling'er?

Miss, however daring I am,

I wouldn't lie to you.

You came in with me. You say something.

No way.

Ling'er can't be a Snake Demon.

The Snake Demon from the Dragon-hidden Cave must have come for revenge

and snatched Ling'er.

Li Xiaoyao!

- Yueru. - Miss.

Go inform my uncle.

- Hurry. - Yes.

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

Ling'er!

It's you.

What? Disappointed?

Are you blaming me for not saying anything just now?

At that time, whatever I said would not help.

Our priority is to find Ling'er.

Don't bother what others say or think.

I get it.

You go back. I'll look for her alone.

When you go alone to the Dragon-hidden Cave so late,

can you really get Ling'er out?

I'll get her out even at the risk of my life!

Then let's take the risk together.

You don't have to.

I'm not doing this for you,

but for Ling'er.

She's my good friend.

Since she went missing from my house,

I have a responsibility to get her back.

Well,

thank you for Ling'er.

Do I not have a name?

What do you want me to call you?

Your Grace isn't really necessary.

I won't take advantage of you, anyway.

Just call me Yueru.

Come on, savage girl.

Hey, you...

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon.

I'm not a Snake Demon!

What is this palace?

Oh, bad Tang Yu.

If only he were here now!

(Virtues Blessing Future Generations)

Uncle, you're home, finally.

What happened, Jinyuan?

Last night,

a Snake Demon broke into Miss Ling'er's room

and she was snatched.

According to Dongmei,

the Snake Demon has red hair and green scales.

Yueru and Li have gone...

Where have they gone?

The Dragon-hidden Cave.

This is ridiculous!

The Dragon-hidden Cave is very dangerous

with a tricky terrain!

Considering their poor martial arts,

they will lose their lives!

Jinyuan, why didn't you stop Yueru?

That was an emergency.

Uncle, don't be worried.

Last time, they failed

because they had to protect me.

But this time, I think

they have enough strength to make it.

We're heading for the Dragon-hidden Cave now.

Uncle, I'm worried about something else.

Yueru has always been loyal and righteous.

And Miss Zhao is her sworn sister.

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid she will go with Li

to look for Miss Zhao.

Jinyuan,

how can she do that?

If it really happens,

I'm willing to go with Yueru.

I'm a mere scholar

who has no martial arts.

But I will always think about Yueru

and take care of her.

Please approve, Uncle.

Go gather our disciples in the forecourt.

I'll catch up.

(Virtues Blessing Future Generations)

- Scholar? - Jinyuan?

Oh, I caught up with you.

Glad I'm not late.

Jinyuan, why did you come here

instead of staying at home for recovery?

I was detoxicated.

And Miss Ling'er gave me some treatment.

Now, I'm all right.

This time, we must catch the Snake Demon

and get Miss Ling'er out.

Last time when we were here,

the Snake Demon had a defensive advantage

due to so many passages.

It was hard to attack him.

So, I had our men prepare something overnight.

The antidote,

the healing powder, the realgar,

and...

And the metal soft armor.

Well, you put it on.

The map of the interior of the cave.

Where did you get it? Such a detailed map.

Why didn't you take it out last time?

Before I set off,

Uncle threw it into my carriage.

He attacked this cave several times

and he did collect some information.

My father...

Uncle

urged me again and again

that I should stop you.

He's gathering his men

to come and suppress the Snake Demon.

Without further ado,

let's get moving now.

Scholar, you just recovered

and you shouldn't risk your life again.

You'd better stay here and back us up.

Yeah, Jinyuan.

You can't get hurt again.

Or my father would really kill me.

Fine, then. Yueru and Li,

be very careful.

Don't get hurt by the Snake Demon.

I'll stay here and wait for Uncle.

Then we'll cooperate with you from the outside.

All right.

Do you feel it stinks more

as we go deeper underground?

This is where the Snake Demon attacked us last time.

Come this way.

- Savage girl. - Let me go!

Let me go!

It's you again.

You've got some nerve to come get killed.

Let her go! Or I'll ruin your lair right now!

You think you can?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Give me Ling'er!

Ling'er?

What are you talking about?

A girl of my age. Confess!

I... I don't know.

I've never caught

a girl.

Wait.

Could Ling'er be snatched

by someone else?

Who else could it be?

In my memory, the Snake Demon in my mansion

looks smaller.

It had different hair color and figure, too.

What's the difference between Snake Demons?

I didn't see clearly.

But it's also half human and half snake.

Green scales

and red hair.

As far as I know, that's not a Snake Demon,

but a god.

If it's really a god,

it won't hurt Ling'er.

Then where did it take her?

He even cut off his own tail.

He just wanted to distract us,

so he lied like that.

He has Ling'er. Go after him!
