(School Motto)

(One-line Exercise Book)

You're awake.

You've been unconscious for two days.

My sister has been looking after you.

She's just gone to rest.

Don't worry, you're all right now.

I've healed your wound with my magic skills.

- Your wound… - You.

Let me go, what are you doing?

Let me go.

That's not decent.

Is your wound healed?

Why are you so shy?

I've seen it that day, haven't I?

By the way,

has this rabbit-shaped apple

been peeled for me?

I don't like apples.

They'll just rot in my room.

Thank you, Mu Sheng.

You…

Why are you always smiling at me today?

It's weird.

I always smile at you.

You're the one who's being weird.

You should rest.

(He looks quite cute when he's shy.)

(Wait a minute.)

(He's shy.)

(He's blushing.)

(Could that mean he likes me?)

Congratulations.

Favorability change detected.

Your target Mu Sheng's

favorability towards you has increased significantly by

eighty-five percent!

He's…

Unexpectedly, he's about to fall in love with me.

It's increased to eighty point five percent.

(Alright, eighty point five percent is fine.)

(At least it's not negative anymore.)

Why are you coming back ?

Why?

Do you ask me?

My life have nothing to do with you.

Why did you risk your life to save me?

Why?

(Because)

(if you died,)

(I could never return to my world.)

And

what you said

that day,

was it true?

Mu Sheng, you fool.

In this world,

it's not only Sister Mu Yao who cares about you,

but me, too.

It's

true.

Why do you care so much about

my life?

Because…

What?

Because you are my master.

Is that all?

Of course.

As the saying goes, once a master, always a father.

No disciple wouldn't want

his master to live a long life.

You're talking nonsense again.

No, I'm not.

I said

that I don't know your background.

Well,

I still don't know how you do things.

Forget it.

(He took it seriously.)

(This is good for me.)

(But why do I)

(feel a bit guilty?)

(Nanke Inn)

I thought this area was peaceful.

There'd be no trouble.

I didn't expect that Lin Yu would fall into the water

while learning magic skills and caught a cold.

Sheng,

I trusted you with Lin Yu.

Why are you so careless?

What kind of a master are you?

Sister Mu,

it's none of Mu Sheng's business.

I was the one who wandered off.

He carefully taught me magic skills.

I learned how to make sparks.

It's just a little less powerful.

In my opinion,

you shouldn't study magic skills for the next few days.

Take care of your health first.

I have almost recovered.

Recovery is a gradual process.

You've had a really hard time.

This place is remote

and there are no good doctors.

Eat more rice.

What are you doing in your room?

I'm doing the laundry.

You're washing my clothes?

Yes, I found it in the wardrobe.

And I found

an invisibility talisman that can block scents in there.

As soon as I uncovered it, I smelled blood.

But it's okay.

I'm almost done.

Who allows you to do that?

This dress

should have been dealt with earlier.

Otherwise, Sister Mu will find out.

You could have burned it by snapping your fingers,

but you hid it secretly.

(You're reluctant to destroy it.)

But I've seen the mending traces

of Sister Mu Yao for you.

It would be a pity to burn it.

Besides, you look quite handsome wearing it.

I didn't expect you, an official's daughter,

to do such hard work

and be so good at it.

That's because

I wanted to be a demon catcher since I was a child,

and I started training early.

What's that smell?

Doesn't it smell good?

It's my homemade soap.

Soap?

It's made by crushing the soap pods

and mixing them with spices.

It can make clothes cleaner

and remove blood stains easier.

They're just bubbles.

Why are you making such a fuss?

How ignorant!

I have a question.

I don't know if I can ask it.

Go ahead.

You are so powerful when you take off the hairband,

so why don't you want to take it off

every time you're in mortal danger?

Every time I take it off,

my mind becomes blurred and unclear,

and my heart is filled with anger and pain.

Every time I take it off

and put it on again,

I feel that my demonic power is increasing

and it's even hard to control.

So you're afraid that one day

even the hairband

won't be able to control your demonic power.

I don't want to talk about this.

Don't bleed so much in the future, okay?

Blood stains are much harder to wash off than dirt.

You saved me

and you saw my demon form.

You're the first person who isn't afraid of me.

But my sister won't accept that I'm a demon.

And you happen to know my secret.

I can never feel safe.

Don't worry.

This is just a control talisman.

Go west and you'll be home.

Once you board the ship back to Taicang County,

it'll automatically unlock.

You can go now.

Go back to being an official's daughter.

You and I

should never meet again.

♪In this life, I've kissed your brows♪

Go home.

Lin Yu,

time for breakfast.

Sheng,

why aren't you eating?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Have you seen Lin Yu?

Maybe she hasn't got up yet.

I checked her room.

I also checked the front and back rooms.

Where could she be this early?

Dear guests,

the miss who travelled with you

has left.

Left?

This morning before dawn,

she left with her luggage on her back.

I called her, but she didn't even turn her head.

With her luggage?

Yes, her luggage is gone.

The room is tidy too.

That's right.

I also heard

her mumbling "Go home".

Yes, go home.

Go home?

Sheng,

did Miss Lin say that to you?

No.

How could it be?

Is it because

you were too strict with her when you were teaching,

Did you scare her?

Maybe.

It's my fault.

Whatever it is, she can't just leave

without saying goodbye to us.

Miss Lin is the one closest to you.

But she didn't have the courage to meet you.

Maybe she was afraid you'd be disappointed

if she told you in person.

I will find her and bring her back.

Sister, just let her go.

If she becomes a demon catcher,

she'll have to endure many hardships

and face many more dangers.

If she returns home early,

it might be a good thing.

That's right.

Those who want to leave can't be stopped.

But she hasn't fully recovered from her cold.

I checked her pulse.

She's fine now.

But you've been

taking care of Miss Lin these days,

you haven't eaten or slept well.

Come on, eat more.

What if she's in danger on the road?

The road to Taicang County is smooth.

She'll go back the way she came.

There won't be any problems.

Taicang County?

Isn't Taicang County in the west?

That's right.

What's wrong?

I saw her go east.

Go home.

Miss,

don't go any further.

Don't enter the bamboo forest.

There is a demon inside.

Miss.

Miss!

This…

Why does your tracking charm work so slowly?

Can it go faster?

The talisman is still detecting Miss Lin's aura.

It's already the fastest.

Useless.

Sheng!

There's a response.

It hurts.

Where am I?

My luggage.

I remember…

Mu Sheng,

what are you doing?

What a big bamboo!

Another fool comes here.

Help! There's a ghost!

Who's speaking?

The bamboo has become a ghost.

I'm a demon,

a thousand-year-old Sky-Swallowing Great Demon.

Demon?

You are the Bamboo Demon Lord.

Please let me go.

Please don't eat me.

Please let me go.

A natural, green creature like you

should be a vegetarian.

My birthday is coming up.

I'm looking for someone

to make me some new clothes.

New clothes?

I'm very clumsy.

I can't even sew a seam properly.

I can't do it.

I don't know how to make new clothes.

Why don't you let me go

and I'll find a tailor to help you.

The clothes I want are very easy to make.

What clothes?

That idiot!

She really did enter this bamboo forest.

She's nearby.

Let's split up and search.

Don't come over here. Stay back.

What the hell is this?

I, I came here with Sister Mu.

I'm telling you,

Mu,

that's right,

the Mu family

are famous for catching demons.

If you catch me,

I'll ask them to come and catch you.

- Those vile demon catchers. - Let me go.

Even if we demons don't offend them,

they'll never let us go.

Since you're allied with the demon catchers,

I'll definitely turn you into clothes.

Let me go.

This, this is…

What's this?

Why is this a fake scarecrow?

Don't shake it.

Don't break my branches!

Stop shaking.

Don't break my branches.

Who are you?

I am…

I'm the Sky-Swallowing Great Demon.

So it was you who caused all the trouble.

Sky-Swallowing Great Demon?

I think you are a Sky-Swallowing Great Liar!

Tell me, why are you treating me like this?

You…

You're so fierce.

Aren't you a demon?

Why are you so timid?

Demon…

Can't a demon be timid?

I'm too afraid of humans,

so I hide here.

I set up a

confusion array to protect the cave entrance

and spread the rumor

of a man-eating great demon in the bamboo forest.

I thought no one would come.

I didn't expect you to break into my house.

Who would want to break into your house?

I didn't come here on purpose.

You're so timid.

Why don't you join other demons?

I'm afraid

to talk to other demons.

So you have a social anxiety.

What's that?

What is your name?

(Cuicui, Bamboo Demon) Cuicui.

Cuicui?

Is this your real body?

No.

This is my grandfather.

Your grandfather?

His real body.

My grandfather

is a thousand-year-old Great Demon.

Great Demon?

In the past,

we both lived here.

In the past?

Where's your grandfather now?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have asked you about your family.

This…

This is my real body.

So

you're a bamboo shoot.

I really didn't want to hurt you.

I just wanted to scare you unconscious,

and threw you out.

Please, just leave quickly.

Otherwise,

your powerful demon catcher friends will come.

I…

Mu Sheng!

There's a demonic aura.

Show mercy!

He's just a bamboo shoot.

Did he hurt you?

Not at all.

Apart from scaring people to do some handicrafts,

and bragging,

he'll never do anything harmful.

Little Bamboo Demon,

have you ever hurt anyone?

He's very timid.

He doesn't dare to hurt others.

Little Bamboo Demon,

I'll let you go this time.

Next time, if I see you

creating false impressions to scare people,

I'll kill you.

Get out of here.

This is his home.

Where do you want him to go?

You!

You…

Are you all right?

How did you end up in a place like this?

It was you

who put a strange talisman on my back,

and brought me here.

I told you to go home,

not to come here and die.

You can't even find your way home.

Brother, you almost killed me.

Why are you still so self-righteous?

When I see Sister Mu Yao,

I'll make her teach you a lesson.

Let her judge you. Just wait!

Lin Yu, are you alright?

Sister Mu Yao, Brother Liu.

Miss Lin, have you really met a demon?

Where's the demon?

It was a misunderstanding.

It's…

It's all right now.

If you're fine,

you'd better leave early.

Otherwise you won't make it

to the last ship.

Miss Lin,

you're at fault too.

If you think of us as friends,

you should say goodbye

when you go home.

She's frightened and needs to rest.

Let's discuss this later.

Sister Mu Yao, don't you want to know

why I ended up here?

Let me tell you.

Actually, the reason I came here,

the reason is…

I wanted to give you a surprise.

What?

I've never been able to

learn the magic skills my master taught me.

So I wanted to find a secluded place

to practice

making sparks by myself.

Unexpectedly, I took a careless step,

and fell into the Bamboo Demon Cave.

Fortunately, there was only a little demon.

If I encountered a Great Demon,

I would have been dead by now.

It doesn't matter.

It's me who accidentally fell in.

Lin Yu,

no matter where you go in the future,

you have to let us know in advance.

Don't be so reckless, okay?

Sister Mu Yao, are you angry with me?

No, I'm not.

Next time, don't be so rash.

We're all worried about you.

Look, what's this?

Dear guests,

here comes the Gourd Chicken.

Guests, please enjoy your meal.

It smells so good.

Where did the Gourd Chicken come from?

It's caught by Sheng.

It's made into Capital City Flavor

taught by Fuyi.

You made it especially for me?

Actually, I don't mind the hardship on the journey.

Being able to travel with you

makes me truly happy.

Besides,

I will never leave in the future.

Got it. Hurry up and eat.

The chicken leg is cooked to perfection.

It's the tastiest part.

Thank you.

It smells so good.

It deserves its fame in the imperial capital.

It's so delicious!

If you like it,

have more.

Thank you, Sister Mu.

A chicken only has two legs.

She's eating both of them.

She's the youngest.

What's wrong with eating more?

This orange is delicious too.

Have some.

No, Sister Mu.

I don't like fruits that needs peeling.

(In the past, to complete the system tasks,)

(I flattered you every day.)

(Even if the favorability drops to a negative number,)

(I, Ling Miaomiao,)

(will not show you a friendly face again today.)

(I mean what I say.)

Favorability change detected.

Mu Sheng's favorability towards you

has increased by one percent.

Miss Lin.

Brother Liu.

Take this.

Sachet?

I put the runes I wrote inside.

It can protect you.

Take it with you

and bandits, beasts and little demons

won't be able to hurt you.

Amulet?

(Brother Liu is always like this.)

(He's nice to every girl,)

(and doesn't make Sister Mu special.)

(I must correct this for him.)

Brother Liu,

sachets can't be given away carelessly.

Because for girls,

(Attention Grabber.)

Because for girls,

this gift is really good.

Thank you, Brother Liu.

I like it very much.

You're too kind.

Companions

should take care of each other.

If you're safe and sound,

Yao can also be at ease.

Brother Liu,

you're very kind to me.

I'm really lucky

to have met you.

(Messed up, messed up.)

Brother Liu, I'll go first.

Miss Lin.

Even though

Sheng doesn't say it out loud,

I can tell that

he really cares about you.

On the way to the bamboo forest to find you,

he was very anxious.

Was he

worried about me?

Yes, he was.

He was in the front line.

Except for Yao,

I have never seen him

worry so much about anyone else.

Sheng is becoming

more and more like a master.

Master,

are you asleep?

What's the matter?

Nothing important.

I just want to see you.

Do you want to eat an orange?

I want to eat one.

It's none of my business.

I think oranges that you peel taste better.

Can't you peel them yourself?

No, I can't.

You're trying to make conversation now?

I want to ask you something.

Today, why didn't you report me

in front of my sister?

You were evasive.

What's your intention?

It was you

who didn't let me tell the truth.

I didn't mind it and I covered for you.

You question me instead?

If I wanted to keep your mouth shut,

would you still be alive?

I just wanted you to go home.

Stop being an eyesore in front of me.

Who knew you'd be so

stupid!

Now I'm repaying evil with good.

Don't repay kindness with hostility.

Promise me.

You won't drive me away again,

okay?

That's fine.

But if you dare to leak the secret,

I will not forgive you.

Take this.

What's this?

A magical weapon.

What a small magical weapon!

I made it that small.

It can transform your spiritual power

from Hegu, Shaoshang,

Shaofu, and Laogong

to integrate and consolidate it

at the tip of your finger.

It will be easier for you to practice.

You're the one who made this.

Come and try to practice your magic skills.

It's too late. I can't practice anymore.

- I want to sleep. - Come out.

I really don't want to practice anymore.

Master.

- I don't want to practice anymore. - Practice.

If you don't master the magic skills,

who can protect you in the future

when you face such danger?

But

how to use this magical weapon?
