[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]

[Episode 22]

Let me do it.

Poor Fu Cheng.

She suffered a lot under Jin Renfeng's command.

And now she's in such trouble.

Don't worry.

The doctor said

she will wake up.

Even so,

I still feel...

Young Master.

Since you're back this time, don't leave.

I'm old too.

And Fu Cheng is in this state.

There will come one day Divine Flame Villa

has to be entrusted to you.

Of course.

Let alone Divine Flame Villa.

The whole Yiqi Alliance

will be entrusted to me in the future.

You mean...

You haven't liked Hongye, have you?

How about I take over him as the director in the future?

How's that?

That does sound good.

But there are many noble families in Yiqi Alliance.

They are all powerful people.

How can you win?

I'm asking if you'll help me.

Of course.

I will do my best.

I knew you are the best to me.

This time,

Yiqi Alliance has gathered all sects

to discuss what happened in Huntian Prison.

I'll go on your behalf.

How's that?

Sure.

However,

I heard that the lord of Nangong family that

the director of the Spirit Alliance, Tushan Honghong, helped evil spirits escape the prison.

After all, you lived in Tushan.

Shouldn't you avoid suspicion?

Don't worry.

I know what to do.

Hang in there.

You're so clumsy.

Let me do it!

As expected from the leader of Chi Sha Bandits.

You've been in Huntian Prison for hundreds of years

but are still so clear-headed.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

What matters is

I can find you the best place

for you to hid yourselves.

For what happened

at Huntian Prison,

what does everyone

have to say?

Director,

there are many traps

in Huntian Prison.

It has always frightened the spirits.

The escape

of the spirits this time

really taints to the reputation of Yiqi Alliance.

I think we should investigate and hold those involved accountable

to give everyone an explanation.

Hold those involved accountable?

Who?

Whoever was the prison warden

should be held accountable.

What are you trying to say?

As we all know,

the wardens of Huntian Prison

are all selected by Director.

Are you trying to hold Director accountable?

Dongfang Yuechu!

The various families of Yiqi Alliance

are discussing an important thing.

You are just an ordinary disciple.

You don't get to kick up a fuss here!

Look.

So humiliated he got angry.

Did I get it right?

You...

Director.

What I meant was,

for the escape of the spirits this time,

the director of the Spirit Alliance, Tushan Honghong, is to blame.

Usually, Tushan has no contact with the human race.

Yet on that day, she appeared at

the scene of the spirits escaping Huntian Prison.

It shows that she has something to do with this.

That makes sense.

Director.

I saw it with my own eyes that day

at Huntian Prison that

Tushan Honghong extended a helping hand in time.

That's why we managed to stop most evil spirits.

Director.

I can testify.

That makes sense too.

Director,

this is a situation she planned to hide her crimes.

Yan Rushan, a disciple of Tushan,

used the excuse of abducting women to deceive the people.

But in fact,

he stole the blueprint of Chaotian Prison.

There must be something

to do with Tushan Honghong.

All of this

is just your speculation.

You have no evidence.

The two of you are just quarrelling

and are not coming to a conclusion.

Dongfang Yuechu.

In your opinion,

what should we do

about what happened at Huntian Prison?

In my opinion,

we should capture the evil spirit as soon as possible

and interrogate them.

The truth will come to light as to

who planned this then.

That's easy for you to say.

What if we can't catch them?

That's a good point.

As we all know,

the spirits captured in Huntian Prison

are all extremely vicious evil spirits.

It wouldn't be a problem if they were still in the human jurisdiction.

But if they return to the spirit juristiction,

we won't be able to capture them in a short time.

In my opinion,

why don't we cooperate with the Spirit Alliance

and capture the evil spirits as soon as possible?

What?

Cooperate with the Spirit Alliance?

Ridiculous!

Enough.

Dongfang Yuechu.

Do you know that, since the founding of Yiqi Alliance hundreds of years ago,

you're the first human to propose

cooperating with the Spirit Alliance?

So what?

For this matter,

both humans and spirits want to capture the evil spirits as soon as possible.

Why can't we join forces?

It sounds reasonable.

Director.

Even so,

but–

It's settled then.

Dongfang Yuechu.

I'll leave this matter to you.

Lead the disciples of Yiqi Alliance

to join hands with the Spirit Alliance

to capture the evil spirits who escaped.

What do you think?

I won't let you down.

Director!

It's settled.

No more discussion is needed.

As for the woman abductor,

since he definitely has something to do with this,

Constable Lyu,

arrest him

and interrogate him thoroughly.

Yes.

That's all for today's meeting.

You may leave now.

Dongfang Yuechu.

Come with me.

[Wangquan Villa]

It's not easy to work with the Spirit Alliance.

One careless move

will get you into trouble.

Don't worry.

Normal fire can't burn me.

What puzzles me more is,

you, who used to k*ll spirits the most,

would agree to cooperate with the Spirit Alliance.

It really surprised me.

Since the establishment of the Spirit Alliance,

they have apprehended 163 evil spirits,

and solved 72 conflicts

between humans and spirits.

They also saved 326 humans

from the hands of evil spirits.

Though Yiqi Alliance

was established to deal with spirits,

our aim

is still to protect the peace of the people.

So,

if the spirits are doing things that would benefit humans,

you'd be glad about it too.

On the day of the alliance tryout,

you said you wanted to

stop the bad culture of noble families controlling Yiqi Alliance.

You want to stop the noble families.

And I

have been trapped by these noble families

for a lifetime.

Director Wangquan...

Go ahead.

I shall take my leave.

It's windy.

Director, you should go back and rest.

Tell me.

If Gui knows

his father is sick,

will he come to see me?

He knows it well.

I'm sure he will understand your difficulties.

He will...

Wangquan Hongye would like to cooperate with us

to capture the evil spirit.

It's just capturing a few evil spirits.

I can handle it myself.

There's no need to make it so complicated.

Sister, are you serious?

You really want to work with them?

Nangong Shi is the biggest suspect

for what happened at Huntian Prison.

It's just that he's a member of the Yiqi Alliance.

It should be handled by Yiqi Alliance.

This cooperation

will help us take action in the future too.

Okay.

I'll send them a reply now.

It's just that...

There are many noble families in Yiqi Alliance

who are not friendly to the Spirit Alliance.

But now,

their attitude suddenly changed.

Well...

Are you worried

there's a conspiracy in this collaboration?

Maybe I was just overthinking.

What happened?

There's news about Chi Sha Bandits.

Go over there!

Hurry up.

Let's split up.

We must catch the culprit.

Yes.

Now,

only by redeeming yourself

and finding out the truth as soon as possible

can this chaos be over

and your name cleared.

Lyu Jianwen who is in charge of this case has a keen sense of smell.

This is an aura-dispelling pillar that can change your scent.

Wear it.

Don't let her see through you.

Thank you for your reminder.

He's out for women and kills them. It's so scary.

It's been so many days,

why hasn't the woman abductor been captured yet?

Exactly...

Don't worry. Constable Lyu is amazing.

With her on the case,

they will definitely be captured.

Don't worry.

They haven't found him yet.

Where can we catch him?

When can we catch him?

[Wanted]

It's so scary.

I dare not go out at night.

Help!

Help! Help!

Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

It’s my duty to extend help

when I see one in need.

No need to thank me.

Thank you.

Take him back.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Go.

I have the aura-dispelling pillar given by my master.

Don't panic.

Could it be that.. the aura-dispelling pillar couldn't change my scent

and she has found out my identity?

Did you use this method to subdue him?

It doesn't seem difficult.

That...

That's it? She left?

Sir.

Constable Lyu, what brings you here?

I'm here to ask about

the missing woman case.

Did you miss out on any detail?

No.

I've basically said everything.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Constable Lyu.

Your yogurt.

Thank you, sir.

Sir!

One more, please.

Okay!

Sorry.

I want to eat too.

Don't be in a rush!

To be honest,

when I was young, I was part of the martial world.

I have offended Chi Sha Bandits.

Now that those evil spirits have escaped,

I’m really worried.

I heard that you are highly skilled

and righteous.

That's why I took the liberty to follow you.

Please forgive me.

Your cultivation level doesn't seem low.

Your two fists are no match for four legs.

Why don't you seek protection from the Spirit Alliance?

It's best if I can get protection from the Spirit Alliance.

But I'm just a spirit without a clan.

How can I join the Spirit Alliance of Tushan?

If you really want to join them,

I have a friend

who can help you connect with them.

Thank you, Constable Lyu.

But

I heard that there are many rules in Spirit Alliance.

I'm used to being free.

If I really join Spirit Alliance,

I'm afraid I'll be kicked out in just a few days.

That wouldn't be a good look for your friend.

Looks like Chi Sha Bandits

isn't that much of a threat to you.

Otherwise, with your life on the line,

would you be thinking this much?

Thank you for your reminder.

I would just like to ask for

your kind protection for a few days

before Chi Sha Bandits are captured.

I will never forget

your great kindness.

Sir, your yogurt is here.

Sir,

with fruits, this yogurt

tastes much sweeter.

Miss, you have a good taste.

This is the recipe we learned from Tushan.

It's unique in this market.

Thank you, sir.

The dairy is so fragrant.

It's indeed delicious.

Come again.

That's enough.

Looking at these,

they are all rough

and powerful.

Judging from the way they wield the sword,

the murderous aura between their eyebrows...

Get to the point.

These female victims

are all descendants of Yiqi Alliance.

What are you trying to say?

Do you think a person's taste

would change so much?

Does that mean someone's trying to mimic them...

These women were not attacked by the woman abductor?

That's right.

The woman abductor has high standards for the girls' looks.

The women who he takes a liking to

are all fair and beautiful,

and good at poetry and dance.

These girls

are not the woman abductor's type.

How do you know so much about the woman abductor's preference?

I...

I guessed it.

I didn't expect you to be capable of solving cases.

In that case, this woman abductor

is just a superficial spirit who only cares about one's looks.

Well...

Well,

you just took over Divine Flame Villa after all these obstacles.

It's only been a few days.

You're going to Tushan again?

Aunt Yu Ping.

Since Yiqi Alliance is the one offering to cooperate this time,

after discussion,

they decided for me

to lead the disciples to Tushan

to show our sincerity.

What if Tushan Honghong changes her mind

and doesn't let you leave?

What would you do?

I wish that's the case.

Don't worry. It concerns the cooperation of two alliance.

She will definitely let me go.

That's true.

If she doesn't let you go,

I’ll go look for Wangquan Hongye.

Even if I risk my life,

I have to bring you back.

What are you laughing about?

I heard that

the spirits of Chi Sha Bandits

are all cruel

and powerful.

If you really meet them,

you must be careful.

Don't worry about it.

Just wait for my triumphant return in the villa.

What?

The representative Yiqi Alliance sent over is that brat?

Are you kidding me?

Honghong has long forgotten

that he exists.

If they meet,

if they find anything,

it doesn't matter what he thinks,

but Honghong is the problem.

I'm worried about this too.

Although Honghong has sacrificed her Love Seed,

and can't fall in love again,

she can't remember what happened in the past.

If Yuechu reminds Honghong

of the feelings they had in the past,

she will definitely become week

and endanger her life.

Now,

Honghong and Dongfang Luo

are out investigating the traces of Chi Sha Bandits.

We can hold it back for a few more days.

But when they come back,

with that brat's personaliy,

what if he...

Rongrong, you've always been smart.

Can you think of a way

to stop them from meeting?

♫ Can you go to the b*ttlefield of fate with me again? ♫

♫ Can I play you a farewell song again? ♫

♫ The scene in my dream looks towards you ♫

♫ Like ice-cold moonlight on the water ♫

♫ Like fog dormant on the hills ♫

♫ Like holding it in my palms but letting it go gently ♫

♫ Like wind surging with the waves ♫

Brat.

Yaya!

You've been ticking me off!

♫ Like light refracting illusions ♫

I-I-I didn't mean to do that!

Come here!

Lady Fairy, save me!

Stop!

♫ Like shadows reflecting the young self ♫

♫ The old days are like a dream ♫

♫ Hiding my delusions in the dark ♫

♫ To guard the Grief Tree ♫

♫ Do you know I've been hesitant because of love? ♫

♫ Do you know I've been lost because of hatred? ♫

♫ Where do the different paths lead to? ♫

Yuechu,

why are you just standing here?

♫ Looking into the dreamland, in the direction you went ♫

Let's go.

Let me show you a new world,

and have a look around Spirit Market.

I have to say,

I didn't expect

the spirit clan

to have such a bustling market too.

Right?

Sir, this is yours. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Sirs,

these are yours.

Sir.

We didn't order these.

Yuechu.

Look who's here!

You've come a long way with the disciples.

Take these snacks and drinks

for your disciples.

Rongrong.

Don't worry.

This debt

will be under the name of Yiqi Alliance.

Rongrong.

It's been so many years,

you are still as calculative.

Thank you.

Look.

Wh-What color is this wine?

Look at the color of this wine.

Can you drink it?

What are you talking about?

If you aren't drinking, give it back to me.

What are you doing?

Give it to me.

You...

Stop! Stop right there!

Niu.

It's been so many years,

why is your temper so as quick?

You haven't changed a bit.

Give it to me if they don't want it. I will drink it.

Come on.

I'm doing this for you.

Otherwise,

I'd have kicked these humans who don't know better

out of here.

Hey!

Enough.

Let's eat. Be quiet.

Rongrong, come.

Let's eat.

Their standards are too low to understand our delicacy.

Here.

Rongrong.

It's their first time here. They're not used to it.

Don't tell

Lady Fairy about this.

Don't worry.

I know better than you

what to say and what not to.

Where is Lady Fairy?

She's not in Tushan now.

Stay in the market.

When Honghong comes back,

I'll inform you immediately.

She's not in Tushan...

I met them here the day before yesterday.

Just because I took a second look at them, they attacked me.

If I hadn't pretended to be dead and escaped them,

I would have been k*lled

like those people.

It was indeed done by Chi Yan Huolong.

Do you remember their faces?

One was wearing a mask.

I can't remember the rest.

The nobleman.

Director,

please help us.

We must catch those evil spirits no matter what.

We can't let them harm people anymore.

The Spirit Alliance will never let any evil spirits go.

Dress up your dead friends and head back.

Thank you, Director.

It seems that the nobleman is with them.

Since they've been here,

there should still be

traces of them around here.

[Poisonous miasma of Huolong Valley]

Poisonous fog is everywhere.

For them,

this would be a good place to hide.

Even with my spirit power, I can only hold it out for a short while.

Dongfang Luo, don't force yourself.

It's okay.

I can hold on for a while more.

How are you?

I'm fine.

But...

Chi Lei.

This poisonous miasma

is indeed a place to hide.

Let me send you back.

[Huolong Valley]

You're really bold.

Tushan Honghong is all the way up here.

How can you be still so calm?

Tushan Honghong is here?

She just got to the outskirts of the valley.

I've repelled her.

After leaving this time,

Tushan Honghong will definitely gather people to come capture you at Huolong Valley.

I'm afraid

it won't be this easy next time.

Why don't we work together?

Leave Honghong to me.

You lead your men

to deal with other underlings of Tushan.

What do you think?

You want me to be an enemy to Tushan,

It's not that I want you to do that,

but that Tushan has already regarded you as an enemy.

I'm afraid that's

the real purpose you saved us.

So what?

After we defeat Tushan,

you can lead Chi Sha Bandits

to rule the mountain.

You don't have to hide anymore.

What if I disagree?

I'm just kidding.

How could you take it so seriously?

We still have time.

Why don't you reconsider it?

It's my fault.

I was a burden to you

and also made you use your power to detoxify me.

That's not a problem between us.

It's just that this poison is unique.

I can only use my power to protect your heart meridians

to prevent poisonous from spreading.

Don't worry.

It's fine.

I'm just worried that

with this poisonous miasma,

it wouldn't be easy for us to

capture these evil spirits.

With Lai

out on an investigation

and Cui Yuling busy with her own clan,

this poisonous miasma is indeed

quite tricky.

I once read

a method to create antidotes

from an ancient medical books.

Now that I'm being poisoned by this poison,

maybe I can learn from Shennong

and test medicine personally

to find the right antidote to the poisonous miasma.

Test medicine personally?

That's right.

If

I can make the antidote for everyone,

I would be able to do my part.

Fine.

I'll ask Rongrong to to make the necessary arrangements

to move to nearer to Huguang Pavilion

so she can take care of you.

No need.

You have so many things to do. Don't worry about me.

But testing medicine is not a trivial matter.

You are being too anxious.

Think about it.

There used to be so many medical families.

They all did the same thing.

Besides,

I've made a some progress

in medical herbs recently.

It will be fine.

[Tushan Academy]

Now that Honghong is back,

I'm afraid Yuechu

can't wait any longer.

How about this? I'll go smack him unconscious

and have him sleep for half a month.

By that time, Chi Sha Bandits would've been captured

and he can just go back to Yiqi Alliance to make the report.

With your power right now,

can you still knock him out?

Yes, I know.

I wanted to practice in seclusion

but Honghong and you wouldn't agree.

Look at it now.

I have to think twice

just to smack that brat.

How could Yuechu do this?

Why did he meet only Liushang now that he's back in Tushan?

I heard from Liushang that

Yuechu wants to meet Chief

that's why he asked Liushang to send an invitation.

What?

What did you just say?

Greetings, Chieves.

No need to be so polite.

What did you just say?

How could Yuechu do this?

Not this one.

Yuechu asked Liushang to send an invitation?

When did that happen?

Just now.

Chief.

[Invitation]

Sister!

-Sister!
-Sister!

Why are you in such a hurry?

It's nothing.

What is this?

An invitation from Yiqi Alliance.

You can

handle this.

Yes.

Who is the representative

Yiqi Alliance sent over this time?

Someone from Divine Flame Villa.

Dongfang Yuechu?

Sister.

You know this name?

Nangong Shi mentioned this before.

Do you want to see him?

No need.

He had contact with Nangong Shi privately.

Send Elder to follow them.

Sure.

I knew you wouldn't come empty-handed.

This chicken is good.

Delicious.

Look at you. You've become

the representative of Yiqi Alliance.

Look at your clothes.

Look at your aura.

I have said this,

that humans will always be humans.

Even if us foxes raise them–

Just eat your food.

Stop nagging. Why do you have so much to say?

This darned old fox.

I've used so many tricks

but I just can't get rid of him.

Pour me a drink!

Pour me a drink.

You can't bear to part with your wine?

Don't forget,

you've stolen a lot of wine from me all these years.

Get it straight.

Half of your wine was stolen by Honghong.

Don't talk nonsense.

How can you call her Honghong?

Besides,

she has more wine than me.

Why would she steal my wine?

Don't try to frame her.

That's because you don't know her at all.

Sure.

You know her well.

So what?

Drink up.

Si Xi!

Come on.

What are you waiting for?

Drink a toast to the Elder. Hurry up.

Come on.

Cheers. Cheers.

Come on.

Here's to you.

You guys.

Come here.

Come drink a toast to him.

Yes.

Come on.

Elder.

A toast to the Elder! Cheers!

Come on.

Come on.

Drink more.

Here, I’ll drink it up.

Good wine.

Fill it up for Elder.

Drink.

You two.

Come out!

Why are you hiding from me?

We're not.

Yes, we aren't.

You aren't?

Good.

Let me ask you.

Has

Dongfang Luo been pestering Chief?

No.

No?

How is that possible?

Chief is the one pestering Dongfang Luo.

Yes.

Every morning, Chief would

come to Twin Peaks to look for Dongfang Luo.

[Chi Lan Yuan]

Yuechu!

You're finally awake.

Where's Yuechu?

Where did he go?

He...

He went to catch evil spirits.

Catch evil spirits?

No.

Something must have happened to him.

-I need to save him.
-No.

You just survived.

You haven't recovered yet.

You can't go anywhere.

But I just dreamed that his heart was bleeding.

He told me he was in pain.

Don't worry.

He

is collaborating with Tushan Honghong to catch the spirits.

Nothing will happen.

He went to see her again?

This time,

Director ordered him to work with the Spirit Alliance

on behalf of Yiqi Alliance.

It's not on his own accord.

Whether he took the initiative or not,

he's going to only suffer again.

Tushan Honghong has ignored him for three years.

Why doesn’t he understand?

Chief.

How have you been?

Dongfang Yuechu?
