Episode 26
There aren't cloud flowers here. How can there be cactus flowers blooming here?
As long as you have cloud flowers in your heart, you can naturally see them.
This is called 'Five Stone Powder.'
After applying, not only you can see cloud flowers bloom,
you can also see whatever you want.
Five stone powder?
Shangguan Ya, you are letting me eat this powder?
This is medicine that makes people see illusions. How can you have me eat this?
Or else, do you really think I can keep it from my mother,
and go pick medicinal herbs every day?
Actually, it's just all an illusion.
When I take this, I can only temporarily find some happiness.
Won't you get addicted if you keep eating this?
I won't. I only eat a little when I'm unhappy.
There's nothing bad about it.
Yurou, I can tell you have something in your heart, but are unwilling to tell anyone about it.
I want to help share your burdens, but you won't give me any chances.
I know you're knowledgeable in medicine.
You know the good and bad of this powder thoroughly.
Life is painfully short.
What's so bad about giving yourself some temporarily illusory happiness?
Of course, if you don't want to eat it, I won't force you.
Since I don't have much time left, why suffer so much every day?
So what if I eat it once?
Okay, then I'll give it a try. Just once.
It's so beautiful!
I finally see the cloud flowers!
Yurou, careful of your feet!
The cloud flowers here open all night!
We can watch them slowly!
Before I die, I can finally see the cloud flowers bloom.
Yurou!
Yunfan, I really saw cloud flowers!
-Really?-Really!
The cloud flowers were so beautiful!
But I believe that the Night of the Seven Moons will be even more beautiful than cloud flowers!
Yurou, we can definitely see it then.
I originally wanted to ask Miss Yurou to go see the seven moons with me.
I didn't think that Brother Yunfan would be a step ahead of me.
Mr. Shangguan, if you want to see it, you can go see it alone.
After all, this is Miao Jiang's unique scenery.
Without Miss Yurou, even if I see seven moons, what's so exciting about that?
Yurou, did you really see cloud flowers?
I really did! You're asking for the second time!
Not only did I see cloud flowers, I saw the entire mountainside covered in them!
-The entire mountainside? Where?-Yes.
Yurou!
This is our secret.
That's right, it's our secret.
I agreed to not tell anyone.
Okay, I'm tired. I'll go in to rest first.
Shangguan Ya, I'm telling you. No matter what tricks you are trying to play,
if you dare to harm Yurou, I won't spare you!
I'll tell you again. Tomorrow morning, I will go with Yurou to see the sunrise.
I hope that you won't suddenly appear then.
How is it?
It's just about ready!
Make the fire burn a little stronger.
Once it's ready and Sister Yurou eats it,
she'll definitely forget that Shangguan Ya!
Xiao Man, do you think Yurou would like to eat this sort of thing?
Of course! This is a dish found only in Miao Jiang!
All the girls like to eat it!
Sister Yurou hasn't even seen it before!
I was wondering what this silly boy was doing.
So it was Xiao Man's idea to teach him how to pursue girls.
This is all thanks to my teacher! Long You already found clues.
I think that very soon, we'll be able to find the Sacred Water Pearl and Long Min's whereabouts!
It's good if we can find it. If we find it soon, we can go back sooner.
I really can't take that Shangguan Ya.
Why are you so afraid of that Shangguan Ya?
Sister Yurou clearly has you in her heart. Any of us can tell.
I'm afraid of him?
That's true. I am afraid of him.
I'm afraid he'll use flowery words to trick Yurou.
That brat doesn't have a good heart.
Yunfan, what are you doing?
You keep watch. I'll leave first.
What are you doing here? There aren't any leftovers here for you, beggar.
You should just leave.
I would like to go up to the mountains and find some pheasants.
Pheasants?
That's right. Pheasants only appear during the night.
I wanted to see if I could have the chance to personally catch one.
I would then use its tail feathers to make an ornament for Miss Yurou.
It's sold on the streets. Why make such an effort?
It's more meaningful to personally make it.
If I can really give it to her personally on the night of the seven moons,
then it'll count as fate set by the heavens.
I wonder what he's up to now.
Wow, there is really a pheasant.
Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? Somebody!
Somebody!
Is there anyone here?
Could it be... he forgot?
Miss Yurou.
Are you waiting for Jiang Yunfan?
He said we'd watch the sunrise together.
But I've already waited for him for half an hour. The sun has risen, and I still haven't seen him.
He wouldn't have come anyway.
Why?
I'll take you to go see what he's doing.
Sir. Sir!
Miss! Please save me!
Don't worry. I was just laying a trap to catch pheasants only.
I didn't think that you'd get trapped in it.
Don't talk so much first; please save me first!
Okay.
The mud really has softened.
It's a special type of mud from Miao Jiang. It dissolves into water when it touches water.
Come, slowly.
Sir, I'm sorry.
But since you're okay, I'll leave first.
Miss!
Miss, actually I came here to catch some pheasants.
You didn't mean to, but you trapped me for a night, and I wasn't able to catch one.
If you have something to say, then just say it. Don't talk in circles.
Okay. Miss,
can you give me one pheasant feather?
You want to fulfill the folklore myth?
That's right. It's because I wanted this
that I came here during the night. Can I?
This...
Yurou, what you see might not be true.
I think there's nothing between them.
At least they haven't reached intimate levels yet.
Let's go back first and ask Jiang Yunfan to see what he says.
Miss, please just agree to it. I'll do anything you ask. I'm being very sincere!
You really are being quite sincere. Did you come for your lover?
- Indeed. - What a sweet couple. You are such a frank person.
I'm not usually like this, but I see that you're frank as well, so I didn't run in circles.
J-Just agree to it!
Really!
If you want to confess to someone, you should use some more effort to beg me.
Then I'll naturally agree to your request.
Okay-okay-okay. Miss, I'll listen to whatever you say.
As long as you're happy, I'll do whatever you want.
Okay! What's your name?
My name is Jiang Yunfan.
Jiang Yunfan?
Yurou!
I know. You're angry at me.
Because I didn't go up the mountain yesterday. I didn't have a choice!
I really didn't!
Then... you two talk. Fix the problem.
That'll be for the best. Yurou, I'll go eat breakfast first.
I won't see you off.
Then where did you go last night? You're so dirty.
I... I actually...
What is it? Is there something you can't say?
No-no-no.
I just overslept, but couldn't bring myself to tell you.
Did you sleep in the lake last night?
Well... I was in a hurry, so I took a shortcut through the forest but the leaves were all dripping with dew—
Enough! I'm telling you.
I hate liars the most!
If you're like this, you'd might as well not say anything!
Hey!
It's right here.
I felt the Sacred Water Pearl's power here.
But I don't know why I suddenly fainted then.
When I woke up, I didn't feel it anymore, so I marked this spot.
Long You! Long You, look!
I think Long Min went to this place.
Deity Descent Territory.
Deity Descent Territory?
That's right. It's a dangerous place in Miao Jiang.
Not only do you need your transportation skills to reach there;
on the road there, you'll also meet many dangers.
Everyone do your preparations by today, we shall set off tomorrow to Deity Descent Territory.
Since it's so dangerous, how about I go ahead and scout out the road?
There's no need.
Even I haven't been there before.
It's too dangerous for you to go alone. It's best for everyone to go together.
This is great! We can find the Sacred Water Pearl to help the demon realm restore their waterways soon!
I really want to find the Sacred Water Pearl quickly to help them solve their problem.
Yeah!
Has he forgotten about the Night of the Seven Moons?
I'll teach you how to use these tail feathers.
This way, when you see the Night of the Seven Moons tomorrow,
you can personally give her your gift of confession tomorrow.
Thank you, Miss.
No need, Iwas part of the reason you got trapped overnight.
Here, let's start from this red one.
Okay!
Like this?
-Is it like this?-Yes!
What are you doing?
We're not doing anything.
What are you two doing?
We were passing by and saw you two fooling around.
Naturally, I had to ask!
Yurou, I think you've misunderstood.
I didn't fool around with this girl.
This door has always been open. We're very open. Anyone can watch us.
Anyone can watch? Watch what?
Watch you two hug and make a gift of confession?
What does that have to do with you?
Don't talk about others first. Talk about yourself first!
Myself?
What's wrong with myself? I don't feel like I did anything wrong!
Would you rather trust him than me now?
I trust what I saw!
Okay. You trust what you saw?
Then let me tell you what I saw!
Ever since I came back from the demon realm, it's like you've become someone else!
You're rude and completely unreasonable!
I can forget about it. But now you're with someone like him?
What do you treat me as?
That's right! I'm not the Yurou of the past anymore!
The Yurou of the past was gentle and caring. She only knew how to live for others!
The me now is the real me!
If you can't accept it, then let's pretend we never met!
Okay.
I'm telling you.
By your side, if there's him then there's no me!
If there's me then there's no him!
Okay! I'm telling you, Jiang Yunfan!
You don't need to pass the Night of the Seven Moons with me anymore!
I have Mr. Shangguan to spend it with me! I will only be together with someone who understands me!
Sir, I'm sorry.
-Where is Miss Yurou?-That's right, where's Sister Yurou?
Yunfan, where is Sister Yurou?
I don't know.
My body doesn't feel very well. I won't go with you today.
-You're not going? What a shame.-It's not much of a shame.
I'm not very useful even if I do go anyway. You all went to the demon realm alone last time,too. I didn't go.
Didn't you all come back safely that time, too?
You two... are being kind of strange.
If she doesn't want to go, then don't. She can do whatever she wants.
No one can stop her.
Mr. Shangguan, take a walk with me.
Okay! I'll be with you until the sun sets.
I can also go with you to enjoy the moon!
Didn't she say that she's unwell? Why is she-
Miss Yurou,
why be like this, being sad for a person like that?
Miss Yurou, tonight, I'll admire the moon with you.
Miss Yurou, I'm sorry!
Mr. Shangguan, I know you're good to me.
But I only want to be alone now,
and stay here quietly.
Perhaps I was too rash.
After going through so much, I still don't trust Yunfan.
Perhaps... he really did have a reason he couldn't voice.
A reason he couldn't voice?
If he put you in his heart, why would he talk like that?
Why find excuses for him? He's already left this place.
What are you reminiscing for?
I promised Yurou
that I would definitely pass the Night of the Seven Moons with her.
So, I will set off after tonight passes.
You must be admiring the moon with Shangguan Ya right now.
And I'm still foolishly waiting inside this house.
I'm telling you, Jiang Yunfan! You don't need to spend the Night of the Seven Moons with me!
I have Mr. Shangguan to spend it with me!
I will only be together with those who understand me!
Okay! I'll stay with you until the sun sets. I can admire the moon with you, too!
I really am foolish.
I did so much for her, but I couldn't beat that brat's honey coated words.

-Why do I only see five moons?-Isn't it six if you count the reflection in the water? Do you see it?
-Then there's only six, where is the seventh?-I don't know either.
So the seventh one is the other there.
So what if I find seven?
Yunfan isn't with me.
If I can meet him in my next life,
I hope I won't have this strange illness anymore.
But I can't be with him in this lifetime.
Who can guarantee that we can still meet in the next one?
I've been so unlucky this year.
They say that good luck will come if I see seven moons.
Is my luck changing?
In the end, I am still all alone.
I am just a commoner. I can never match Mr. Shangguan.
Hey, isn't that bigger than the other?- You're right!
-Hurry and come over here!-Okay!
-Hurry up! Do you see the moon?-I see it!
-I want to make a wish!-Okay!
As long as you are with me.
It really is so pretty! Hurry and look!
-This moon is so beautiful!-Wow, it's so big!
Hurry and come look! It's big and bright!
What are you laughing at? What are you doing?
Yunfan, did Sister Yurou go after you? Did you see the seven moons?
Where is Sister Yurou? Why didn't she come back with you?
I think... I have disappointed Yurou.
I don't know where she is either.
How can it be like this?
Enough, silly girl.
Stinky brat, I can understand how you feel.
It's very natural for you youngsters to have arguments.
If you have never gotten jealous, then how can you confirm your feelings of love?
Lady Haitang is right. There are a lot of feelings in the human realm
that will deepen because of that. It will make people know each other better.
We should keep the main issue as our focus right now.
It'd let everyone calm down a bit. Yunfan,
if it's yours, it's yours. No one can steal it away. If it's not yours,
even if others don't try to steal it, you can't keep it.
Long You sure knows a lot...
But Long You is right. You must believe!
That's right. I should keep the big issue as my focus right now.
Okay. It's time to talk about the big issue.
The place you guys wanted to go is filled with poisonous miasma.
Xiao Man, the Five Poison Pearl must not leave you.
Don't worry, leave it to me! Lady Nv Wa will also protect me!
Lady Haitang, you know this so well. Have you gone before?
Who said that someone will only know about it if they've made a trip there?
But if you really think that, that's fine.
Okay, then. Everyone go back and rest.
Let Longyou take you guys there with his transportation skills tomorrow morning.
Lady Nv Wa, you must help us find the Sacred Water Pearl.
Careful! There's poisonous air here.
Don't worry, I have the Five Poison Pearl. It'll be easy to deal with this poisonous air.
It looks like your teacher really did come here before.
She ventured here in search of the water pearl isn't suspicious at all
It's possible because she went back empty handed, so she didn't tell us to avoid being embarrassed.
Jiang Yunfan, I know you're in a bad mood,
but we are dealing with serious matters right now.
Saving the world is more important than puppy love!
Okay, I got it. Look at you, acting like a world savior.
If you keep looking like that, I'll strangle you!
There's a mark here. There's one here, too.
There's one here, too!
Let's use my transportation skills now and see what happens.
How come there is a conch here?
Big brother,
I finally found you.
Look at me!
I'm all grown up!
I listened to you.
I continued to train myself.
Only this way, can I protect our tribesmen.
But no matter how strong I am,
I couldn't protect you!
Big brother!
Did you see me?
Big brother!
Big brother!!
Big brother!
I'm sorry. I came late.
Big brother.
Big brother!
Give me back my big brother!
Let's attack together!
Xiao Man! Let Long You do it himself.
He needs to get revenge for his brother.
Big brother,
I finally got revenge for you.
Don't just see Long You's usual carefree attitude.
It turns out his affection for his brother was so strong.
It looks like in the face of separation in death,
we are all the same.
The Sacred Water Pearl!
Teacher!
-Madam Hai Tang, you-!-I'm sorry, Mr. Long.
I used you to get the Sacred Water Pearl. I owe you a favor.
Teacher, what are you saying?
Even though I know that Long Ming left those marks behind,
but I didn't know what they meant.
I'm sorry, Mr. Long.
Teacher, how can you be like this?
The Sacred Water Pearl is a divine object. How can it fall into a demon's hands?
So it's like this. But this is what my royal brother, Long Ming, obtained with his life.
I have no way of giving it to you.
Long You! Madam Hai Tang! We're on the same side; don't fight!
Let's talk things over!
Teacher! Stop!
Yunfan, think of something! How can we stop them?
You can't do anything, and you're a descendant of Nv Wa! What can I do?
Teacher!
Xiao Man, I order you to stop!
Teacher, I didn't want to do this. But why did you have to do this?
I'm begging you, give the Sacred Water Pearl to Long You. Okay?
This has to do with the lives of the entire demon realm.
If Long You can bring the Sacred Water Pearl back,
he will be able to restore the water supply!
Besides, this is what Long Ming used his life to get!
Teacher, didn't you always teach me to keep the protection of the world as my goal?
I really want to save those suffering people!
Teacher, please fulfill my wish!
Madam Hai Tang, I know you are magnanimous.
You keep the whole world in your heart.
I'm kneeling in front of you for the demon realm.
I'm begging you.
Please let us live.
Teacher, I'm begging you!
Madam Hai Tang, I'm begging you, too!
You-! What are you all doing? Get up!
-Teacher!-I want you all to get up, do you hear me?
Fine, you win! All of you, return to Witch Moon Sect now!
Do whatever you'd like with it there! It'll be much easier!
You get up, too.
Thank you, Teacher!
Long You!
You still have your brothers with you. Don't be too sad.
Teacher, you told me to come in such a rush. Is there something wrong?
You're not still angry about the Sacred Water Pearl?
You already promised us to let us borrow the Sacred Water Pearl.
You can't go back on your word.
I was just worried about you!
I'm afraid you're not strong enough, yet will force yourself to use magic and suffer the consequences.
When you can't even protect your own life, let's see what you'll do then.
Teacher!
I know your heart aches for me.
But as a descendant of Nv Wa, isn't my responsibility to protect the world?
Something like this happened in the demon realm,
as a descendant of Nv Wa, how can I sit and do nothing?
No matter what, I won't back down!
If you think that, I won't stop you.
It's just... that Long You.
Xiao Man, you must remember. You two are very different.
I pity their suffering as well,
but pitiful people have detestable qualities, too.
Lady Nv Wa punished them this way for a reason.
They didn't cultivate enough.
I am willing to give them a chance.
What if this time round you help them and in turn strengthen the Netherworld
and then put the human realm in danger instead. Can you take responsibility for it?
I believe in Long You.
You believe in Long You that much?
Long You...
is cold and arrogant. His martial arts aren't better than yours.
But today, he could put down his own self respect and get on his knees to beg you.
I can see that he really cares for the demon realm's people.
I've been with him for so long.
Looking at his actions today, can I not help him?
Besides, I also believe that he's a loyal person.
Is that so? It looks like this Long You's influence on you
is even greater than mine.
Teacher!
Then let me ask you. Is Long You good to you?
He... He doesn't dare to treat me poorly.
He can't afford to.
I really don't know what to say.
Okay-okay, I'm very tired today. Get some rest.
You can leave first. Go on-go on. Go!
Teacher, then you get some rest soon, too!
Enough-enough-enough!
It looks like that silly girl has fallen for Long You. She likes him so much
yet she doesn't even know.
