Episode 11
Granny, I can't get close to the Lotus Lantern.
When the idea of stealing the wick pops up in my mind...
the lantern will flash that... that light.
Look... it even burned my hand.
You can... try again this way.
No. I can't.
If you don't try, how do you know you can't?
I'm sure I can't.
Go back and try.
But Granny...
Chen Xiang treats me so well.
He always protects me.
He even wants to marry me.
He has never suspected me.
But I have been lying to him.
I meant to help him.
But now, I really can't stand it anymore, Granny.
Xiao Yu, you are too kind.
I doubt that rascal has the same conscience.
It's not like that. He is engaged to Ding Xiang...
- but he still wants to be with me. - Is that so?
Xiao Yu, if you can't get the wick...
Granny will die, and...
Chen Xiang may not be able to escape from Er Lang Shen.
You think it over carefully.
Go back first.
And, if I can't get the wick within three days...
I will definitely kill him.
- Xiao Yu... - Xiao Yu...
Xiao Yu is a bit strange lately.
About her disappearance last time... has she told you why yet?
Last time...
Eighth Prince... let's go separate ways to search.
You go this way.
Xiao Yu...
You, scoundrel! Country bumpkin!
Do you mean to upset me to death?
Actually, even if there is no engagement I still really like you.
Why do you treat me like this then?
I have no other way.
You know I am in danger by myself.
Without Eighth Prince and her...
I would have been caught by Dog Fairy already.
Don't lie to me. I know you like her.
I do like her a bit...
But ultimately she is a demon.
I can't marry a demon, right?
Frankly, when I was with Eighth Prince...
I often pretended he was you.
So I would feel better in my heart.
But, don't be angry.
I never liked him.
- I only like you. - I know.
Will you still look for her?
It's just as well she has disappeared.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for me.
Chen Xiang.
All right, it's very late now.
Go to sleep soon. I have to sleep, too.
I'm going.
Stay a little longer?
Okay, I won't go. Release me first.
No.
I really won't go. Release me.
I really won't go.
Actually...
I want you to stay with me a little longer.
Chen Xiang...
Long time no see, Miss Gao.
The shirt you gave me is already torn.
I can't bear to throw it way and keeps it in a box.
Chen Xiang! Come out. I saw you.
Who is it? So noisy!
- You don't sleep and keep yelling? - Master!
You, get out!
Yes, I'm leaving now. Goodnight, Master.
Why did you have to interrupt my dream?
Is Miss Gao still there?
Chen Xiang! Chen Xiang!
You're really pretty. Pretty.
Pretty. This dream is so...
Demon!
Disciples! There's a demon!
Open door quickly, disciples!
Disciples! There's a demon! Demon!
Disciples! Demon! There's a demon!
Demon! Why am I afraid of a demon?
It seems the demon is a beauty.
Beauty.
Just now...
you must have been frightened.
Come over here.
I am an honest person. This is not easy for me.
I never thought that he would be this kind of person.
I like him so much.
He was really using me all this time.
He said he wanted to be with me forever.
Everything turned out to be false.
Xiao Yu, don't be sad.
It's not worth it to cry over him.
Eighth Prince!
Don't be upset. Don't be upset.
He cheated all of us.
I think those two are quite a match.
They are a pair of heartbreakers.
Then what will we do?
We? We'll leave him.
I don't want this kind of person to keep using us like we're idiots.
- Leave. - Yes.
We'll leave together.
See what they can do when they meet danger again.
Yes, we'll leave them.
I never want to see him again.
- Let's go now. - Let's go.
The person you never want to see again, who's that?
Of course it is you.
Eighth Prince! I've treated you as a friend. You!
Me? What about me?
Xiao Yu, I looked for you everywhere. I was worried sick.
But you... behind my back... you and...
Eighth Prince sure has a sense of loyalty.
You're right. I do have a sense of loyalty.
Xiao Yu.
I don't want to be cheated by you anymore.
I don't want to be used by you anymore.
How did I cheat you and use you?
Xiao Yu, can't you see clearly how I treat you?
It wasn't clear before. Now it's all clear.
Let's go!
Xiao Yu, don't go.
What have I done wrong?
Tell me. I will correct it.
I am begging you. Don't go.
All right. I won't leave.
You're not leaving...
Xiao Yu, you still want to be cheated and used by him?
How have I cheated and used her?
All right, you won't leave. I will.
Eighth Prince!
Xiao Yu, what's wrong with Eighth Prince?
Why are you treating me like this all of a sudden?
Hey, have you seen Chen Xiang?
I am not 'Hey,' I am Ao Chun.
I also answer when people call me Eighth Prince.
Call me 'Hey,' I won't answer.
Ao Chun! Eighth Prince!
You still have not answered.
What's wrong?
Nothing, I am just me.
Not someone's somebody.
And I don't want to be treated as someone else.
Tongue twister?
I thought you knew.
Knew what?
I thought you knew I treated you like him.
When I hugged you... I was calling his name.
You heard it yourself.
I thought you two are such good friends and stress on loyalty.
Helping your friend to comfort his...
is quite normal.
Ding Xiang, I don't blame you for not liking me.
But you prefer to like such a...
prefer to like such a...
I don't mean he is a country bumpkin...
And my status as Eighth Prince is nothing special.
What do you want to say then?
Chen Xiang used me and Xiao Yu.
Don't you think such a person is despicable?
Can such a despicable person deserve your love?
As long as he treats me well.
I had a dream.
I dreamed Er Lang Shen and Dog Fairy came to Jing Tan Temple together.
They caught you.
But, you still let me run away quickly.
When I woke up, you were not with me.
Xiao Yu, don't do it again, all right?
Hey!
Why are you here?
I've been looking for you everywhere.
Don't hold her hand.
It's none of your business!
Why have you changed so fast?
Who's the one that said...
Even if there is no engagement... you still really like me.
How can I know who said that?
At least I didn't say it.
Xiao Yu, let's go.
Be kind to me.
You can hug the tree over there to cry.
Ding Xiang, don't be sad.
All right. I'll let you hug me just once more.
Ding Xiang, don't cry. All right?
Don't cry. Don't cry. Ding Xiang.
Okay. Quiet, Ding Xiang, don't cry.
What's the matter with you, Master?
Master's vitality was nearly sucked dry.
There are so many strange happenings tonight.
Master, are you all right?
Nothing serious. Just need to eat to recover.
Master, you should go to bed early.
I can't sleep. Help me get up.
I have to repent to Buddha.
Help me get up.
Buddha...
Master, what do you think of my practice?
- Good. - Do you think so?
Yes. It looks good.
Let's trick him.
- What are you doing? - It was an accident. Sorry.
Why are we so trapped by love?
You still feel for him?
I suddenly thought that he's quite pitiful.
He deserves it. What a scoundrel.
I don't understand. How am I inferior to him?
In status, I'm Eighth Prince of East Sea.
In martial arts, he has much worse skills.
As for character, I'm much better than him.
I don't know either.
My parents decided. What can I do?
Chen Xiang, you betrayed me first.
Lotus lantern, I don't want to do it.
But if I don't steal your wick... Granny will kill Chen Xiang.
I don't want Chen Xiang to die.
Granny's method doesn't seem to work.
Chen Xiang.
- Chen Xiang, the lotus lantern... - Lotus lantern?
Master! Master!
Whenever lotus lantern lights up like this Er Lang Shen would show up soon.
What do we do now?
Unfortunately, Master's vitality is sucked dry right now.
What do we do then?
- Ao Chun. - Yes, Master!
Go buy some good food for me quickly.
- Go quickly. - Yes, sir.
Master, can you recover in time?
I think so.
Disciple, come over here. Lower your head.
What are you doing?
When your hair is shaved, you will be in Buddha's family.
Heaven's forces won't dare to hurt you.
Is there no other way?
Oh my little masters...
Don't give your Master more trouble. Come on.
Pig Fairy, my master has come.
Come on out to meet your death.
Xiao Yu. You continue to shave him.
I'm going out to reason with them.
- Be careful, Master. - All right.
Chen Xiang! Do you really have to shave?
He's already half shaved. Finish the job.
- Shave quickly. - I...
You are so indecisive. Come...
Come. Sit down. I'll do it.
Once shaved, you will be Buddhist monk.
When you're a monk, you can't marry.
Pig Fairy! Come out quickly.
Er Lang Shen. Chen Xiang is the one you want.
Why did you take Eighth Prince of East Sea?
He is an accomplice. They broke heaven's law together.
Pig Fairy, hand over Chen Xiang now.
Too late! Chen Xiang is already a monk.
What did you say?
Why didn't you come earlier?
He begged me to perform tonsure for him.
I thought, if I did, it would be difficult to report to Heaven.
So I hesitated for some days...
I thought you already closed his case in Heaven.
It's so unexpected.
I just finished tonsuring him and you came.
Too late! Now he is a Buddhist monk.
- Go in and check. - Yes, Master.
Stop!
Buddha's house is a peaceful place. You can't just enter as you wish.
Have you asked me for permission?
I am following order.
Er Lang Shen! This is Buddha's domain.
I am following Jade Emperor's edict.
Let's go!
The shaving is not finished.
Master... master, look!
What's so funny?
Pig Fairy!
Didn't you say he is a monk already?
Half a monk!
This shaved half belongs to Buddha.
You can't touch it.
The other half, you are free to deal with.
You are uttering nonsense.
Er Lang Shen. I am the one you want.
Release Eighth Prince!
Don't worry. No one can have him.
Er Lang Shen! You can't hurt anyone else.
Otherwise, I will kill myself right in front of you.
Such a threat is useless.
I am bringing you up to Heaven... to execute you!
The Empress wants to execute me in front of gods in Heaven as a warning, right?
If I die now, what warning can she make?
Fine. I'll release him, and you'll come with me.
Chen Xiang.
Eighth Prince, there must be a misunderstanding between us.
But I don't know what it is.
Ding Xiang. I am sorry.
Chen Xiang!
Hold on!
Disciple, I have not given permission.
Master, you can let go of this matter.
Let go... these two words don't fit your Master.
You look short of breath.
Obviously you lack vitality. What can you do?
I probably can't fight for too long.
But I do have a few good moves.
I'll block Er Lang Shen. You all run away!
- Master... - Go!
Looks like you learned a few moves.
- Master, are you all right? - I'm okay.
Master, do you have the power of compassion?
Buddha appointed me as Envoy Jing Tan.
You tell me, am I compassionate?
Use your power and my pithy formulas against them.
- Sure. - Come.
- Master! - I'm fine!
Let's see what trick they're playing.
Here I come!
Since you and my mom are brother and sister...
I'll let you off this time.
If you press me again... I will show no mercy.
Chen Xiang, we finally beat them.
- We don't have to fear anymore. - We won.
All right, now I feel...
I'm getting back my vitality.
Master. Tell us, tell us.
Tell what? It's all your fault.
You lead the demon into my bedroom.
- I did? - Yes.
You forgot? Two nights ago you came to my room yelling.
Why were you there?
I saw him enter your room that's why I went in.
Then, why did he become a demon?
How would I know?
What? That's impossible!
Why did the demon take his shape?
Why did he say those words to me?
- And he seemed to know a lot about us. - Right.
How could an outsider know so much?
I think a demon sucked Master's vitality.
But the one who spoke to me was not a demon.
What do you think, Xiao Yu?
I don't know either.
You really didn't say those words to Ding Xiang?
Of course not. How could I say that?
Have you ever said...
you can never marry a little demon?
Of course not!
Don't doubt me anymore, please?
Xiao Yu. What's the matter?
I feel very sorry to you.
Xiao Yu. It's all right.
As long as you don't hate me anymore, I'm fine.
I wrongly blamed you...
They badgered you, and I hated you.
Chen Xiang. I am sorry.
Xiao Yu. Don't say it. It's all right.
It's all fine now.
I just feel it's very strange.
Who turned into me?
Why did he do it?
He treats me so well, but I'm still lying to him.
Today is the third day already.
If I don't take the wick...
Granny would definitely kill Chen Xiang.
What should I do, lotus lantern?
Lotus lantern, I beg you. Help me, please.
Lotus lantern, I must take your wick.
I beg you. Will you please help Chen Xiang?
Master, I am back.
You went after Chen Xiang a long time.
Not only didn't you catch him... you didn't even get the lotus lantern.
I deserve to die.
You must try everything to get the lotus lantern.
- It's the only way to capture Chen Xiang. - Yes, Master.
Send people to Jing Tan Temple to monitor them.
- Take action whenever he is alone. - Yes, Master.
- They can't stay together forever. - Yes, Master.
Go to Mount Hua to recall Lao Da and Lao Er.
- I suspect they secretly helped Chen Xiang. - Yes, Master.
And, about our defeat that time...
- we cannot let anyone know. - Yes, yes, master.
Master! Look at my pathetic face...
How can I tell anyone? I...
Chen Xiang.
That Chen Xiang must be the demon.
The real Chen Xiang has loyalty.
I don't believe it!
Even he doesn't admit saying those words.
I am using you as Chen Xiang now.
Do you feel upset?
Unless... I can hold you.
No way.
How can you lean on me... but I can't hold you?
I won't lean on you then.
Go ahead and lean on me. Lean...
- You said it. - I said it.
Chen Xiang. Get up and practice.
Get up!
Chen Xiang. Get up!
Just a little more sleep...
It's already past five in the morning.
Fine, then let me sleep some more.
Xiao Yu, go to sleep too. Be good!
- Get up. Quick. - Let me sleep some more.
No need to be polite to these guys.
Let me try! Get up! Get up!
- What you are doing? - Quit playing. Sleep some more.
It's past eight in the morning. Still not up?
Call Master. If Master is up, we will get up.
Master!
Fire!
Little auntie, what are you doing?
Master!
Master! Eighth Prince and Chen Xiang won't get up.
If they don't get up, just let them sleep.
We don't need to practice martial arts?
You have no respects for elders.
Let them sleep as they wish.
No need to rush the practice.
You go to sleep too.
When did they become like this?
Ever since they defeated Er Lang Shen.
Right. No need to fear Er Lang Shen.
What's the point of practicing?
He can return to the Lius' village and take a wife.
Sleep. I'll go to sleep too.
Ding Xiang.
Why hasn't Granny returned yet?
Has something bad happened?
- Granny! - Xiao Yu.
Granny... what happened? Granny?
I was... Mei Shan Brothers...
I'll help you get inside. Come on.
I won't go in. I'm here to find you.
How did this happen?
What's going on? Let's go in.
Xiao Yu, go inside and... get healing medicines for this lady.
- Go quickly. - I'll go then, Granny.
Be quick, my little auntie.
Madam...
What's the matter with you? Where is my granny?
Granny has been hunted by Mei Shan Brothers.
If you still can't get the wick...
I'll be dead.
I can't do it.
- You... you want to force me to die? - I... no.
All right. Before I die, I will surely kill Chen Xiang.
If I cannot revenge, then I won't let him save his mother either.
Granny, I beg you.
Please don't kill Chen Xiang.
Can we do without the wick, please?
Granny, I am begging you.
I know. You have a lover now.
So you don't need Granny, right?
- No. Granny! - I know.
- Granny! - I'm so pitiful.
I raised you for hundreds of years
but suffer such an end to my life.
Granny!
I'll go.
I'll go!
Oh yes, where is the girl, Xiao Yu?
We don't know.
Don't worry. She won't go far.
We three disciples and our master...
will studied Buddhism together every ten years.
It's been two years since we last met. So...
Is there no other way to find him?
- Come out for a bit. - Why?
Listen to a good idea.
