It's strange, indeed.

He was just here a moment ago.

Where could he have gone?

Tang Yu,

how did you get here?

What took you so long?

My Lady,

you can't get rid of me.

You'd better focus on finding the Spiritual Beads instead.

I've been looking for the Spiritual Beads.

Look,

the Sacred Spiritual Bead is glowing.

This means there must be a Spiritual Bead nearby.

You don't know anything.

Tang Yu, how did you find me?

My Lady,

where is the Spiritual Bead?

It's strange.

You were clearly poisoned by my Five Poison Bug.

How did you neutralize it?

Who in Nanzhao doesn't know the art of the Five Poisons?

My Lady, don't try the same trick again.

Tang Yu, I'm telling you.

I just saw someone here,

and then he suddenly disappeared.

Help me find him.

Maybe the Spiritual Bead is on that person.

Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao.

Snake demon.

Maybe

we were never meant to meet again.

Ling'er.

Ling'er, where are you?

How did I lose you?

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Why?

Why can't I find you?

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Xiaoyao.

I really don't know

what to do.

Why?

Why can't I find you?

Xiaoyao, I hope...

I hope

I'm not making the wrong decision.

Ling'er.

Ling'er!

That's right.

It's you!

It's really you, Ling'er.

Ling'er,

you're alright.

I won't lose you again.

Ling'er,

why did you leave suddenly?

Xiaoyao,

actually...

Did you encounter a snake demon

at Lin Fortress?

A snake demon?

That's right.

The maidservant at Lin Fortress was scared silly,

saying you were the snake demon.

Xiaoyao...

How could you possibly be a snake demon?

Later,

the savage girl, Scholar, and I

found the snake demon's lair.

With one strike,

I ended the snake demon.

But in Dragon-hidden Cave,

I still couldn't find you.

You killed

the snake demon?

Of course, we had to.

Right,

there was also a fox demon with the snake demon.

I killed them both.

Xiaoyao,

does being a demon mean

they must be killed?

Of course,

demons and monsters must be eradicated.

A hero is supposed to slay demons and exorcise monsters.

Besides,

that snake demon captured you. I must be the first one to fight it.

Xiaoyao,

what if...

I mean...

What if there are good demons?

Impossible.

Demons and monsters only harm people.

No matter how good they appear on the surface, they must be devils.

So, they must be eliminated swiftly.

By the way, Ling'er,

you haven't answered me

why you left.

I

encountered a corpse demon.

Later,

Physician Han from Baihe Village saved me.

Then, are you alright?

Were you hurt?

That's good.

It's the corpse demon again.

Ling'er, rest assured.

I will protect you.

I won't let them harm you.

So, what happened later?

How did you end up here?

Physician Han asked me to save someone.

To save someone?

This...

She is my daughter,

Mengci.

The corpse poisoning

has seeped into her heart.

(Han Mengci) But I couldn't bear to kill her.

I could only lock her up here,

guarded and cared for.

All of this

is my fault.

I was too selfish.

Miss Zhao,

you were poisoned

but managed to heal yourself.

The girl who bit you

also stopped spreading the poison.

You

might be able to cure the poison.

I?

I know

this may be

too much to ask,

but you

might be her only hope.

I can save her.

Mengci...

Curing the corpse poisoning?

Ling'er, you look so pale.

You must have used your spiritual power again, right?

Xiaoyao, don't worry. I'm fine.

Curing the corpse poisoning only requires a little spiritual power.

Really?

Ling'er, even though it only takes a little spiritual power,

you still shouldn't always use

the Resurrection Spell to save others.

By the way, Ling'er,

now that Miss Han's poison is cured,

why are you still here?

Ling'er, what are you doing?

Looking for something.

Looking for something?

What are you looking for?

Something very important.

Ling'er,

is this hair tie yours?

Found it!

You came back just to find it?

When I returned to the medical hut and realized the hair tie was missing,

I retraced my steps,

and then I saw you.

Hair tie, oh hair tie,

thanks to you,

I saw Ling'er again.

By the way, Ling'er,

this hair tie looks a bit old.

How about this?

I'll go to the city and buy you a new one.

No need.

This hair tie

is very important

to me.

Very important?

It must have been given

by someone very important to you, right?

A very special person.

Very special?

Who is that person?

Do I know that person?

Yes, you do.

I know that person?

Then I must think hard about who he could be.

Alright, Xiaoyao, let's hurry.

There are corpse demons around here at night.

Let's go.

Do I really know that person?

Both of us know that person, so it can't be many people.

Miss Han,

how are you feeling now?

Much better.

Miss Ling'er has been gone for so long but hasn't returned.

Could something have happened?

Don't worry.

Physician Han said

he'd go get Miss Zhao.

They will be back soon.

See, they're back.

Miss Ling'er,

you're finally back.

And this is?

Li Xiaoyao.

Mr. Li.

Miss Han,

you must be the First Chief of Baihe Fort, right?

Exactly. How did you know?

Just a guess.

By the way, Miss Han,

the lady who saved me, where is she?

I didn't see her.

Didn't see her?

Probably left on her own after the wound had been healed.

Don't worry.

I'll send people to look for her.

Chief,

there's something else I need your help with.

The night has passed.

Chief's illness should be cured by now, right?

Well, that's hard to say.

If the marriage for joy didn't work...

Boss,

you check the situation.

Move aside!

No movement.

No movement. Come here.

Who?

Stop!

You...

You run so fast.

Hurry, come here.

Quick, don't dawdle.

Quick.

- No sound. - Right.

Boss Li!

Have mercy!

What are you doing?

You scared us.

What happened?

You scared me.

No sign of Chief or that boy.

Could it be

that Chief

devoured the joy-bringing boy?

No, impossible.

Even if Chief eats someone,

she should spit out the bones.

Look here, where are the bones?

Could it be

our sleeping drug wasn't strong enough

and the boy ran away?

What's wrong? What's that?

What is this?

Physician Han's silver needle.

Why is Physician Han's silver needle here?

What's wrong?

This is Chief's blood.

Chief

must have tried to eat the joy-bringing boy last night,

but he ran away.

The boy went to find Physician Han.

Physician Han came over

and found Chief was at the point of eating people.

He...

He made a righteous decision.

Chief!

Chief!

Yueru,

you should rest.

Jinyuan, you're not worried about Li Xiaoyao?

I've seen Li's skills.

He's a bit clever.

But he was drugged.

What if...

I didn't expect you, young lady,

to be so loyal and righteous.

But while you care for others,

others may not care for you.

What do you mean?

Where's Li Xiaoyao?

Him?

He ran away.

- What? Ran away? - Yes.

That's right.

He abandoned you and ran.

Li Xiaoyao, you scoundrel!

Miss, there's no need to be so angry.

You're so loyal and righteous.

Our chief will definitely like you a lot.

You can go down and accompany her.

Go down? Where to?

To the underworld?

Right.

We're ordered to escort you two to the underworld.

Take them away.

What's the joy in living?

What's sad about dying?

Yueru,

to die together with you in this life

is my greatest fortune.

Li Xiaoyao, you're shameless!

I was so worried about you,

and you just ran off, abandoning us.

Cowardly, unfaithful!

You're not a man!

Li Xiaoyao, I won't let you go even as a ghost.

Enough.

You've said all that needs to be said.

I'll

arrange for a priest

to properly conduct rituals for you both

and guarantee you won't become fierce ghosts.

You two, be happy down there,

serving our chief.

Yes.

You do it.

You do it.

Boss Li,

today is my mother's birthday.

I cannot kill.

Look at you.

This lad.

Today is my son's one-month birthday.

I can't kill either.

Is killing someone that hard?

Then you do it.

Recently,

I've been unwell.

Useless! All three of you!

Is killing a person really that difficult?

Give it here.

I'll show you how it's done.

Step back.

Boss,

you'd better chop me first.

Does it make any difference?

What if

there's a turn?

No turning back now.

Kneel properly.

Spare the broadsword!

It's over.

A fortune teller told me

I can't kill in this life.

Look at him.

There's no way around it.

Right.

No way, no way.

Scared me there.

Big gasp.

Li Xiaoyao,

did you do that on purpose?

Chief!

Is it true or not?

True or not?

Is this true or not?

Chief?

How is Chief alive?

Everyone,

let me say something.

My recovery

is all thanks to Miss Zhao's rescue.

This bowl

is to thank Miss Zhao.

Thank you, Miss Zhao.

This second bowl.

Come, fill it up, fill it up.

To Miss Zhao's friends.

Previously,

everyone in the Baihe Fort offended you.

Please forgive us.

Sorry. Sorry.

Come.

Give me more.

This third bowl of wine

is to see off the four friends in advance.

Our Baihe Fort and the Baihe Village down the mountain

lie deep in Mount Guiyin,

rarely visited by outsiders for decades.

Meeting you

is also fated.

However, we have other matters,

so we can't keep you long.

If there's ever a need for Baihe Fort in the future,

just speak up.

Come, cheers.

Cheers! Cheers!

Stay in the fort for the night,

and set off early tomorrow.

Please.

Please.

Chief,

the people here are indeed very enthusiastic.

Yeah, indeed.

The food is more delicious when you fight for it.

Eat up, eat up.

What's there to eat?

Tasty.

Try this.

Tastes alright.

You try.

Ling'er,

have some. This fruit is okay.

Well...

I forgot to feed my Xiaobai.

You fed him, Boss.

When we arrived, Xiaobai was eating happily.

- Really? - Yes.

His appetite has been bigger recently.

Need to feed him more times. Let's go.

The marriage for joy, right?

Mr. Li.

Well,

desperate times called for desperate measures. It was our fault.

But I heard from Chief

that it's because of the joy-bringing marriage

that you could meet Miss Zhao and reunite with her.

- Right, right, right. - Is that tasty?

The joy-bringing marriage

did bring you joy, right?

Let's go. Let's go.

Li.

Li,

you and Chief didn't really

do that, did you?

Scholar, what are you thinking?

I doubt you've read the classics.

Just curious, curious.

Eat slowly. Take your time.

Really not?

No, no.

Shameful.

How did you disappear all of a sudden?

Did you encounter a snake demon?

Glad you're alright.

If anything happened to you,

I'd have to slay all the demons

within hundreds of miles.

Drink more.

Don't be afraid.

When we return to Suzhou City, I'll take you out to calm your nerves.

Yueru,

thank you.

It's all my fault for dragging you into this.

What are you saying?

We're all good friends.

Yueru,

I might not be able to return to Suzhou City with you,

because I'm leaving for Nanzhao tomorrow.

Oh right, you're going back to Nanzhao.

So, Li Xiaoyao is going with you?

Of course.

I finally found Ling'er.

I definitely can't let her go alone.

Li Xiaoyao,

I think I'm more suited to take Ling'er back to Nanzhao.

You don't need to follow us.

Some things, indeed, can't be envied.

Hurry back to Suzhou,

lest your dad sends someone to protect you again.

I can go wherever I want.

My dad can't control me,

neither can you.

Yueru, Yueru.

Now that we've almost finished eating,

and it's getting late,

how about we head back to rest?

We can send off Li and Miss Zhao in the morning.

Let's go, Ling'er.

Yueru.

Ling'er, I'll be leaving first.

Make way.

Grab my sword.

Sorry. Excuse us.

Yueru.

Ling'er,

eat this.

Ling'er, are you full?

Why does this fort only have vegetables?

Not even a bit of meat.

Ling'er, rest early.

We'll set off first thing tomorrow.

Xiaoyao,

actually,

I can return to Nanzhao by myself.

Ling'er, why...

Why would you say that?

Ling'er, did I do something

to make you angry?

Was it because I didn't find you immediately,

or because I always argue with that savage girl,

or because I was sent to the marriage for joy?

I was forced into that. You know it.

Xiaoyao, it's not about you.

It's me.

I've always had a question in my heart,

and I still can't figure it out.

What question?

Tell me. I'll help you.

If I can't,

we'll go to talk with Scholar.

He's the Number One Scholar. He must know.

It's all so sudden.

I don't know

how to tell you right now.

Ling'er, what's wrong with you?

Tell me, please.

Xiaoyao,

once I'm sure,

I'll tell you,

okay?

Okay.

Okay.

I'll listen to you.

Ling'er,

if it's because of me that you have doubts,

you must believe

I will protect you all the way to Nanzhao.

I won't lose you again.

Thank you,

Xiaoyao.

So, don't overthink it.

Tomorrow,

I'll set off with you.

Okay.

Okay.

It's settled then.

Settled.

Xiaoyao,

you should rest early.

Okay.

It's all your fault.

If you hadn't suddenly appeared,

I would have found the Spiritual Bead by now.

The Spiritual Bead seems to be here.

Wait.

The person last time

disappeared from here.

Can't you say something?

Am I the only living person here?

Can't you use your brain?

If you're going to dig, dig a big one.

How could the Spiritual Bead be in such a small grave?

My apologies.

Blame Tang Yu.

He dug first.

Spiritual Bead, oh Spiritual Bead.

What's the use of brute force?

At critical moments,

it's still my Five Poison Bug that comes in handy.

Thanks, little bug.

I want to see

what kind of monster you are.

Don't!

Is my wandering in the martial world

going to end like this?

At least,

I wasn't implicated by that foolish rat.

Don't speak ill of others behind their back,

especially when they're behind you.

Li Xiaoyao, how did you get here?

Why are you here?

The room here is stinky and stuffy,

so I came out for some air.

You haven't told me yet.

What are you doing here?

I ate too much at night.

Just walking to digest.

That's a big lie. Out in the middle of the night.

Well, do you have worries?

Tell me.

Why would a girl suddenly

become so thoughtful?

How did you know?

She was fine all along.

What exactly went wrong?

It's Ling'er, right?

Then you must have made her sad.

You can't go a day without annoying someone.

I really shouldn't have asked you.

I forgot that you don't count as a girl.

Li Xiaoyao,

if you're here to mock me,

just go away.

Right.

Did Ling'er

ever confide in you about something?

About she has some thoughts?

No.

What exactly is wrong with Ling'er?

Well,

it's nothing.

Considering we're somewhat friends,

I can give you some advice.

Girls

have their moods.

When you think she's thoughtful,

just spend more time with her.

Talk less, and do more.

If you do talk, speak gently.

Say things to cheer her up, got it?

Thanks.

What did you say? I didn't hear you.

Good words won't be repeated.

You're welcome.

I'm not helping you.

I'm doing it for Ling'er.

Anyway,

thank you for everything you've done for her.

Seeing how sincere you are,

I'll reluctantly accept it.

I'm leaving.

Li Xiaoyao,

you and Ling'er are leaving for Nanzhao tomorrow.

Hope

we'll meet again someday.

It was somewhat fun knowing you.

I won't forget you.

Really?

After all,

girls as unruly as you

are rare.

You...

Well, it's good

to remember your annoying face before leaving.

What are you doing?

Shh.

Look.

Corpse demons!

Corpse demons are coming! Close the gate!

Quickly, close the gate!

Corpse demons are coming!

Close the gate!

Get everyone to resist!

Close the gate!

Chief, defending like this won't work.

Corpse demons only go out at night.

The sun will be out soon.

Just hold on a bit longer, and they will retreat.
