[Episode 18]

How dare that brat covet Honghong?

Honghong.

You must not be fooled

by his sweet words.

I actually quite like him.

Since he came to Tushan,

Honghong has smiled more often than before.

Have I?

Yes.

I agree with Rongrong on this.

In the past,

you kept a straight face

most of the time.

But now, you often

wear a smile.

That's because you two have finally grown up.

Especially you.

Not a troublemaker anymore.

Look.

Honghong has even learned

to tease people from that boy.

Li, Feng.

Come out.

Why were you two hiding there?

We…

You can't tell her!

Why not?

You two are sneaky.

You're definitely up to no good.

No, absolutely not.

Then why were you hiding there?

Tell us, or your allowances this month

will be…

I'll tell you.

You can't tell her!

It's okay.

Anyway, Yuechu just said

we should keep it from Chief.

He didn't say

we can't tell Yaya and Rongrong either.

Just keep it from me?

A surprise?

We didn't tell Chief anything.

Yeah. We've kept the secret.

A rain of petals?

I didn't expect

Honghong to fall in love with a human.

Even more surprising, that guy is really Yuechu.

Yeah.

Back then,

I thought because of Dongfang Luo,

she'd die alone.

Are you dumb?

I told you

Dongfang Luo saved Honghong and me,

and she just felt guilty about him.

If I had gone to the human world with you back then,

maybe those tragedies wouldn't have happened.

But anyway,

it's great that Honghong has moved on.

Yes.

Now that she's in love,

the Love Seed in her body will become stronger.

This is a good thing for Tushan too.

If that brat weren't a human,

I'd definitely

prepare a generous gift for them.

Yuechu is a human.

What about your Lai?

Are you kidding?

How can you compare that human boy to Lai?

Lai is an authentic spirit.

Fine, fine.

I forgot.

Your Lai is the Poison Boy from the Nan Kingdom,

an intimidating evil spirit that every spirit scares.

You bad girl, what's wrong with you tonight?

You keep contradicting me.

I see.

Now that both Honghong and I

have found love,

you feel lonely, right?

Not even close.

To me, in this world,

there are things more important than love.

In my eyes, certain things

are much more interesting than love.

I'll get going,

leaving you to enjoy the night with my future brother-in-law.

You're so bad!

How dare you make fun of your elder sister?

I won't let you get away with it!

Give it to me.

What do you mean?

Your gift.

The Qixi Festival is coming.

You must've prepared a gift for me.

Give it to me now.

You already know.

I planned to give it to you

at the festival tomorrow,

but you're so impatient.

What's this?

How do you like it?

It's hideous.

Hideous?

Well, it's the first time I've made something like this.

I admit I'm not skilled enough.

Could you just make do with it?

What else?

What else?

Stop dawdling.

Take all of them out.

It's impossible that you've

only prepared this hideous thing.

Seriously?

Even that brat, Yuechu, knows to

prepare lanterns and a rain of petals for Honghong.

You're a spirit.

This ugly thing is all you got for me?

Well…

I know.

There's a button

on this thing that can make

fine wine flow out, right?

Well…

Is it here?

Yaya.

It's…

Yaya.

So,

it's just an ordinary ugly thing.

It has no magic.

To think I told Rongrong

you were much smarter than Yuechu.

In the end, this is what you've prepared.

Yaya.

Sorry. Don't be angry.

Next time, I'll definitely…

Forget next time.

I want it now.

Remake it before dawn,

or you don't need to come back!

Sure.

No problem.

Be back soon.

You can't even prepare a proper gift.

I'm so mad!

Why don't you hang it by the window?

Lady Fairy.

By the way,

what's that in your hand?

After thinking about it,

I think Lai has a point.

Maybe you'd like some handmade stuff.

So I made this myself.

Well, it looks a bit…

I wonder if you like it.

Let me see.

Indeed, it's not pretty,

but I like it.

It's late. Go get some rest.

Okay.

Lady Fairy, you should get some rest too.

I'll leave after hanging it up.

Lady Fairy.

Are you going to sleep?

What if I am?

What if I'm not?

If not,

let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time,

there was a human boy

whose parents loved him very much.

The best in the world.

You brat.

On his 8th birthday,

his parents

were k*lled by their enemies,

who then came after the boy.

He thought he was doomed,

but unexpectedly,

he met a gorgeous spirit.

From the moment he fell in love with her,

he was not lonely anymore,

nor was he afraid.

He'd always protect that spirit

throughout his life.

I, Dongfang Yuechu,

will protect Lady Fairy,

forever and ever.

It's you.

Where is Spirit Lord?

Where is Spirit Lord?

Spirit Lord.

Spirit Lord.

Spirit Lord, avenge me.

Spirit Lord.

Spirit Lord.

What do you want?

I want Tushan Honghong

and Dongfang Yuechu to live in hell forever.

No problem.

The cost is your life.

What's the matter?

At this time,

you still want to live?

It seems that you're quite satisfied

with your current state.

You're right.

At this point,

what's the point of me clinging to life?

Spirit Lord,

what more can I do for you?

Your primordial core.

I gave you the Refined Spirit Core back then

to make you take the brunt when it backfired.

This primordial core

is a top-quality one.

Don't forget to k*ll Dongfang Yuechu

and destroy Tushan!

Congratulations, Spirit Lord,

on getting

the primordial core enhanced by the Refined Spirit Core.

You're even more powerful now.

Tushan Honghong could never imagine that

not only did we escape last time,

but we also repaired my spirit core.

Chief.

Jin Renfeng is dead.

A passing-by spirit sensed a strange aura

and found his body in the bamboo forest.

Besides,

his primordial core is gone.

It's the teleportation spell.

Sure enough, Shi Ji is still alive.

This powerful spell is from outside the circle.

It uses objects to transport people

to another place in an instant.

That day, we thought

the souls of Shi Ji and Guoguo had vanished.

But it turns out that they were prepared

and made their escape in this way.

Outside the circle?

Shi Ji knows spells from outside the circle?

The force outside is mysterious and powerful.

If Shi Ji is colluding with it,

their target won't just be Tushan,

but all six realms.

That day, the Hidden Nail damaged her spirit core.

Has she repaired it too?

It seems so.

She's repaired her spirit core

and gotten Jin Renfeng's primordial core which had been enhanced

by the Refined Spirit Core.

Now,

I'm afraid Shi Ji has become even more powerful.

This time,

I don't think you can stop me again, Tushan Honghong.

The force outside the circle

will take over the inside sooner or later.

Shi Ji is absorbing power again.

As we expected,

she's much stronger this time.

So the force that's colluding with her

can't be underestimated.

Lai.

Do you remember what happened back then?

Back then, Aolai Sanshao found that force

and used half of his spirit power

to draw a circle to keep it out.

From then on,

any creatures outside will vanish into thin air

once they step into the circle.

I wonder how Shi Ji

got in contact with them.

Have they already broken into the circle?

Most likely.

But the fact that they're using Shi Ji as a feeler

means they can't fully infiltrate the circle yet.

You have a point.

Our priority now

is to stop Shi Ji.

Once we stop her,

the outside force behind her can't take further action.

At the moment,

neither of us

are strong enough to stop Shi Ji

and the force behind her.

To solve this once and for all,

I'm afraid there's only one way:

sacrifice the Love Seed

to track down Shi Ji with the Grief Tree

and seal her inside it.

Only by doing that

can we keep the Grief Tree's power

of protecting lovers

and stop Shi Ji from doing evil.

Chief.

I know you're worried that the force outside

may attack the six realms.

But giving up on love

and sacrificing the Love Seed

is unfair to both you

and Yuechu.

Please think twice.

This place is great.

Lady Fairy will like it.

The spiritual butterfly has sent her the message.

She'll definitely show up tonight, right?

Why hasn't Chief come?

We've been waiting for so long.

Yeah.

Be patient.

She will come.

You're sure of it?

Of course.

After she comes,

you two must do your best

to give her a big surprise.

Got it.

We're already prepared.

We'll make tonight so romantic

that you can never forget it.

No wonder you're raised on nectar.

I know I can count on you.

Chief.

Once you sacrifice the Love Seed,

there will be no love left in your heart.

The person you love deeply now

will be completely forgotten.

Every little thing about him

will be wiped from your memory.

Every moment you two spent together

will also be erased.

Is that really what you want?

It's so late now.

Chief is not coming.

She'll come.

You're so stubborn.

Lady Fairy.

Lady Fairy is here.

Wake up.

She's here. Wake up.

Go get ready.

Wait for me.

Lady Fairy.

Lady Fairy.

Although you already know

how I feel about you,

I still want to tell you formally

that I, Dongfang Yuechu,

love you, Tushan Honghong.

For the rest of my life

and in my next life,

I'll always stay with you

and protect you.

I don't need your protection.

Why?

Last night, you said…

Spirits have long lives.

To me,

you're merely a passer-by.

Lady Fairy,

you're lying.

I know

you must've said that for a reason.

You love me.

I can see it in your eyes.

Lying to yourself

can only make you suffer more.

I know

humans and spirits are different.

What if…

What if I'm willing to be just a passer-by in your life?

As just a passer-by,

you don't need to stop for me.

Is Dongfang Luo the only man

in your heart?

It turns out

it's all just my wishful thinking.

But don't forget

you still owe me one.

♫ Staring into the moonlit sky ♫

♫ Memories whisper softly in my ears ♫

♫ Borrowing a shimmer of light ♫

♫ To illuminate you ♫

♫ A thousand years feel like a fleeting moment ♫

♫ This isn't our first time around ♫

♫ Despite all the hardships ♫

♫ The warmth of love still remains ♫

♫ If you forget everything in your next life ♫

♫ Miss someone but no one is coming ♫

♫ If you look back ♫

♫ I'm afraid I have to see you leave once more ♫

♫ If I make a vow in the swirling snow ♫

Spirits have long lives.

♫ To bury my entire life ♫

To me,

you're merely a passer-by.

♫ Looking back, how can I make it worth it? ♫

Lady Fairy,

my heart is very small.

It only has space for one person.

♫ If you forget everything in your next life ♫

♫ Miss someone but no one is coming ♫

♫ If you look back ♫

♫ I'm afraid I have to see you leave once more ♫

I, Dongfang Yuechu,

love you, Tushan Honghong.

For the rest of my life

♫ If I make a vow in the swirling snow ♫

and in my next life,

♫ To bury my entire life ♫

I'll stay with you

and protect you.

♫ When I look back, you're under the tree of longing ♫

Yuechu.

Yuechu?

You can talk to me about anything, you know.

Yuechu.

Yaya.

What brought you here?

Have you heard about it too?

You need to ask?

All the flower spirits at Tushan are talking about it.

How can I not know?

Why is it so cold here?

Is he practicing some black magic

to freeze himself to death?

Although Honghong has suddenly become cold to him,

trying to k*ll himself is too much.

That's not black magic.

He's just heartbroken.

People say tough guys don't cry.

But I don't think a female spirit like you

can understand male spirits like us

and how deep our love runs.

Why do you sound

so resentful?

I wouldn't dare.

Yuechu.

Do you guys have to make it harder for me?

Go flirt somewhere else.

You brat!

I personally came here to console you.

You should be grateful.

Do you want me to knock some sense into you?

Calm down.

He's very sad now.

Let's leave him alone.

Let's go. Let's go.

Go easy on him.

Fine. I'll go easy on him,

but not on you.

You said you'd make that bottle into a hidden weapon.

Where is it?

You've tried so many times

but still haven't made it.

I'm the Poison Boy.

I'm used to using poison.

Suddenly, you want me to make a hidden weapon.

Of course it'll take time.

That's just an excuse.

How…

How is he?

He's not eating or drinking and won't leave the house.

You forbid us to persuade you,

but I have to say it.

Although you're connected with the Grief Tree,

taking the Love Seed out

won't affect the love in your heart.

But after losing it,

you can't feel love again.

How are you going to live like that for the rest of your long life?

Before I met him,

I had lived just fine for so long.

But what were you like

in those years?

Ever since that incident,

you'd been mired in guilt and pain

and never smiled again.

It was after that boy came to Tushan

that you started smiling again

and came back to life.

So what?

Both to love and to be loved

can help people through their darkest times.

If you give up on love,

what if…

Stop persuading me.

If I don't seal Shi Ji,

the six realms will face a catastrophe.

Compared to the safety of countless humans and spirits,

my love affair is nothing.

You insist on doing that,

but have you considered Yuechu's feelings?

He's young.

Soon,

he'll forget me

and start over.

Yuechu.

Come out.

I have a secret to tell you.

Don't you want to hear a secret?

It's about Honghong.

What secret?

Come with me.

Why have you brought me here?

You'll know after going in.

You're so reluctant to see him?

He hasn't washed his face for centuries.

What's there to see?

Don't you want to know

why Honghong can't get over this guy

who hasn't washed his face for centuries?

Dongfang Luo

is lying here because of Honghong.

Why?

What happened back then was too complicated.

And it's not my story to tell.

Anyway, after what happened to Dongfang Luo,

Honghong has been racked

with guilt.

Over the past hundreds of years,

Lady Fairy has always felt indebted to him.

Dongfang Luo once told Honghong that

there will come a day when humans and spirits live in peace.

So,

Lady Fairy has turned Dongfang Luo's wish

into her own wish.

At least, in the first place,

it was Dongfang Luo who made her realize that

there was kindness and wickedness in every clan,

and humans could be very kind too.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I hope you can understand

no matter what Honghong has decided to do,

it's because she has duties to fulfill

and has no choice.

Who is he?

Just an old friend.

You should know

Honghong's been protecting his soul for hundreds of years.

For her,

besides Tushan,

nothing is more important

than Dongfang Luo's soul.

Because of guilt,

Lady Fairy can't let go of Dongfang Luo.

I can't let go of Lady Fairy either.

Since that's the case,

what can I do now?

Dongfang Luo once told Honghong that

there will come a day when humans and spirits live in peace.

I hope for a world

where humans and spirits no longer hate each other.

All children

can live happily and freely

with their parents,

not separated from them because of the turmoil

caused by a few ambitious humans or spirits.

Yuechu.

[Mini Pavilion]

Rongrong.

What's up?

Just checking on you.

You swung the door open.

Looks like you're much better now.

Of course.

You know me.

I'm Dongfang Yuechu.

I always bounce back quickly.

And I can tell you for sure

that one day

I'll definitely hold a place

in Lady Fairy's heart.

What are you going to do?

I can't tell you my plan.

But I'm going to

free Lady Fairy from her guilt.

By that time,

she can choose

whom she wants to give her heart to.

Dad.

Mom.

I'm great at roasting sweet potatoes now.

If you two were still alive,

the three of us

could run a stall

selling roasted sweet potatoes in some village.

Business would surely be good.

Dad.

Mom.

I expelled

Jin Renfeng from Divine Flame Villa last time.

You must have known about it.

Now,

I have something more important to do.

You two

will support me again, right?

Silly boy.

You already know the answer.

Peace

is good for both humans and spirits.

Moreover,

it concerns my son's happiness.

You already know?

Of course.

Since you were little,

I've always known

what's on your mind.

If you've made up your mind, just go for it.

As your parents,

we'll always support you.

But I'm all by myself.

How can I achieve my goal?

Silly boy,

can't you use your brain?

Although you can't expose

your identity as the descendant of the Dongfang family,

you can join the Yiqi Alliance

and try to become its director.

By then, how humans should treat spirits

will be up to you.

But if I join the Yiqi Alliance,

Tushan will see me as an enemy.

What does it matter?

Even if they'll see me as an enemy,

I still have to do it.
