Episode 24
Lady Nv Wa wasn't wrong! It's their own crimes.
It's the consequences of what their ancestors did. Lady Nv Wa wasn't wrong!
Old man, old man! Come down!
What are you doing?
Where is your family?
Don't tell them.
We have a drought here.
I'm already old.
I'm not useful anymore.
I don't want to drag my family down anymore.
Miss. You should just let me go.
Even if you die, they won't have water to drink!
At least they can have one less burden to carry!
You can't stop me. You should just let me go die.
Don't be like this, okay? There must be another way!
It's useless.
It's already been many tens of years.
It's like this every year!
We are being punished here.
You should just let me go die.
You-! You want water, right? I'll give you water. Don't go die, okay?
What?
You can give me water?
Miss, don't lie to me.
It's useless.
Just wait for me — I'll definitely make it rain!
What is it, Hero Jiang?
Sighing so deeply with such sadness...it doesn't sound like you.
Don't joke around with me.
I keep thinking about how to hep the people here to solve the problem here.
The only way is probably to open the seal on the demon realm to let everyone out.
-But this place is different from the human realm.-The human realm is so large.
Can it not take the people here?
I don't think the people here dare to have hope for that.
If the seal on the demon realm is opened,
the consequences will be very hard to predict.
Don't worry. The lives of the people here are strong.
Even if the heavens want to destroy them, they will defy the heavens and live.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
I just feel like you're a little..
A little what?
After we came here, you're a little different from before.
Perhaps this place really is a strange place.
It makes everyone a little different.
Perhaps.
Long You, look!
It's raining!
It's raining! It's finally raining!
It's raining!
Long You, it's raining! They have water to drink!
It's raining!
It's raining here!
Long You! Why is it suddenly raining here?
Xiao Man!
Xiao Man, hurry and come down!
Xiao Man!
Xiao Man, hurry and come down!
Your spiritual powers are limited, you'll die! Hurry and come down!
The descendants of Nv Wa protect the world, we don't harm others for fun!
Don't!
Xiao Man, I'm begging you!
I was wrong to blame you, hurry and come down, I'll apologize!
Xiao Man!
I am a descendant of Nv Wa. Xiao Man, you must stay strong!
You have your mission! Stay strong!
Xiao Man!
Xiao Man...
XIao Man!
Xiao Man, you're awake?
Cold...cold...
It's not cold. I'm here.
Did everyone satisfy their thirst?
They did.
Everyone's also very happy.
But do you know?
You can't summon water for everyone anymore.
Did you know that the rainwater you summoned just now, had your blood in it?
Is that so? I said you weren't useful.
But I was the one that's not useful.
If in the past, I didn't just play all the time,
and learned properly,
then today, I could have summoned more rain for everyone.
And saved more people.
You've already done very well, very well.
The rain may have stopped now,
but you brought a lot of hope for everyone.
That's just as important as this rain.
Everyone needs you a lot.
Did I really bring hope for everyone?
As long as we have hope, there's nothing we cannot overcome.
Long You, did I didn't let down the name of Nv Wa, right?
You are the most amazing descendant of Nv Wa.
But you are also the most stupid, the most stupid dummy.
I am a descendant of Nv Wa.
I didn't want them to suffer.
I am willing to summon rain for them.
I know.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have blamed you.
If you don't blame me, I blame you! I blame you so much!
Why did you have to throw a tantrum at me?
I'm petty, I'll never forgive you!
Stinky Long You! Stinky Long You!
Hit me, hit me with all your strength.
It's fine as long as you are happy.
Who told me to be a terrible person? I deserve to be hit.
You're not! You are a good person.
It's because your heart is kind that you got angry.
But you shouldn't have thrown a tantrum at me!
My heart hurt so much!
Okay.
I got it.
Stinky Long You!
Sleep for a while.
When you wake up,
I'll bring you home.
I'll bring you back to Mt. Shu.
Xiao Man, this girl. Her body hasn't recovered for very long, and then she went and did something like this.
No matter how you put it, she brought a life saving rainstorm here.
She solved the drought problem here.
Actually, I understand her.
If it was me,
I would have done the same.
But...for one rainstorm, Xiao Man
severely injured herself.
This must be the last time.
Or else...
even if she is a descendant of Nv Wa,
-she would also die!-It's all my fault.
I directed my hate for Nv Wa at Xiao Man.
Or else she wouldn't have become like this.
Long You. This isn't your fault.
Nv Wa sealed this place away.
You couldn't watch the people here suffer.
You only said those words because you didn't have a choice.
As half a citizen here, I should be concerned than you.
Maybe because this cuts close to my heart...
Huh?
-Yunfan.-What is it?
I didn't think that Nv Wa's power is so strong.
It looks like I have to keep secret the fact that Xiao Man is a descendant of Nv Wa.
Long You.
That's not what you want to say.
No. That's it.
Take care of Xiao Man for me.
I want to go take a walk alone.
Okay.

Your Highness. Do you have a important order?
Did you see the rain that came down today?
The citizens are exuberated
at the sudden downpour. How could I not be aware of this?
I just didn't think
that Xiao Man, who is only a little girl,
would have such amazing power from Nv Wa.
She could actually summon so much rain here!
I really didn't think it possible.
So I have decided to return the Sage Cauldron to the human realm.
What? You must not!
Why?
Your royal brother worked so hard to bring this Sage Cauldron
from Mt. Shu to us! You must not return it to Mt. Shu so easily!
Without Nv Wa's power, this Sage Cauldron is no different from a typical bronze cauldron.
How about this? We'll return it to the human realm right now.
Your HIghness, are you repaying a favor this way?
This repayment may be a bit too big!
After the rainstorm today, I believe that using the Sage Cauldron to open the waterways
isn't just an impossible dream. My royal brother's dream can be fulfilled.
I believe in Xiao Man. One day, she'll be able to do it.
She will also be willing to open the waterways for us. Giving the Sage Cauldron to Xiao Man
is the best way of dealing with things.
We cannot lack any of the Sage Cauldron, Nv Wa's descendant, or the Sacred Water Pearl anyway.
What you say is not unreasonable.
Also, I have decided to be honest with Jiang Yunfan about my identity.
What? Your Highness,
isn't it too dangerous to let Jiang Yunfan know your identity?
I feel like now is the best time to let Jiang Yunfan know my identity.
Since I want to be true friends with him, I cannot keep lying to him like this.
I'm going to bring them here. Go prepare for it.
Yes. But I believe
opening the seal on the demon realm and entering the human realm
is the most direct and simplest plan.
My royal brother's wish was to open the waterways
and saved the people from suffering. He only entered the human realm because he didn't have a choice.
I'm afraid that you'll be like your royal brother.
will get attached to the human world and grow weak willed.
Each man will take responsibility for his own actions. As our tribe's successor,
I know when I need to do something.
I hope it is so.
Why did you come here?
I should be asking you that.
What is this place? Why did you come here? Who are you?
I am the second prince of the Demon Realm.
You are the second prince of the Demon Realm?
What is your underlying motive for bringing Xiao Man and I here? What do you want?
What motive can I have? I brought you here for you to see what the true Demon Realm looks like.
I wanted you to understand what blood was running in your veins.
I didn't want you to be taught wrong by the people of this world
and foolishly let people clear the power from your body and become useless.
Yes. I am from the demon realm's royal line.
Of course you will suspect that I had underlying motives.
That's right. My motive is to open the waterways here
and let my people escape their suffering.
I also want to find my long lost older brother Long Ming.
I wanted to solve this long standing mystery.
That person is your older brother?
That's right, I also have to protect a silly boy,
and keep him from dying in the hands of the righteous.
Why should I believe you?
It's your choice whether or not to believe me. I'm the one who has to take responsibility for the demon realm, not you.
Is that the Sage Cauldron?
I originally didn't intend to return it.
But Xiao Man created a rainstorm here, so I have decided to return it to the human realm.
Okay, I believe you!
So quickly? So easily?
I believe those who are honest. I also trust my eyes.
Since you were honest with me, can I be so petty? Or else I wouldn't be Jiang Yunfan.
Then are we still friends?
Of course, we have the same bloodline!
I'm very happy. You finally admit that we have the same bloodline.
I am also very happy that you are finally admitting to your true identity!
I never denied it, so I don't need to admit it.
You're so cunning.
Senior Sister, give it a try! It's fish I cooked!
Senior Sister, don't be angry at me.
Look! I know you like to eat fish, so I personally cooked it!
To make this fish, look! I hurt my fingers!
When was I angry at you? Why do you always do silly things?
Senior Sister, it's good that you're not angry!
Then give it a try! See if it matches your taste and if you like eating it.
Senior Sister, in the future, you must take good care of yourself.
Don't get skinny. Or else Yunfan's heart will hurt when he comes back.
What are you talking about?
Where did you learn such messy things from at such a young age? And talking such nonsense too!
Senior Sister, I'm begging you, help me!
Tell me where Yunfan is, let me see him once! Just once!
I really miss him a lot! I'm begging you!
Look at the way you are now! Are you acting like a girl should at all?
Do you understand what modesty and shame are?
Do you know how others will look at you if you do this?
Aren't you accusing Wanwan of being infatuated? You're too much!
Senior Sister! Senior Sister!
Senior Sister, I miss a person.
I love someone.
It's all true.
All I'm saying are honest words.
What must I be ashamed?
Tell me.
A person lives once. If it's a long life,
it won't be more than a hundred years. If it's short,
perhaps they won't even live past tomorrow.
It's very hard to fall in love with someone. Why should they hide it?
Modesty is a virtue? I think that's just the excuse of a coward!
I'm not like you.
I don't want to wait until I die
to know to be regretful.
Okay then! You live true to yourself.
You're straightforward and live nobly.
In your eyes, Mt. Shu's rules and the way a girl should act
is all nonsense and weak!
You feel like your world is the most important.
In this world, is there nothing more important than you liking or hating someone?
-Senior Sister!-In the end, you're just being selfish!
I can't believe you're a disciple of Mt. Shu!
You-!
Forget it forget it, let's go.
There's nothing to see.
It's okay, it's okay.
Tell me.
A person lives once.
If they live a long time, it won't be longer than a hundred years.
If it's short,
perhaps they won't even live to tomorrow.
It's very hard to fall in love with someone.
Why must we hide it?
Modesty is a virtue?
I think those are just actions that show weakness!
I'm not like you.
I don't want to wait until I die
to know to regret.
Tang Yurou.
In exactly one month, you will die.
They always say
"When a man is near death his words become kind." *(because he speaks from his heart)
And you still harm others with your words?
Is it because she spoke about your pain?
You are so despicable!
In a bit when I see Wawan,
I have to apologize to her well. Be brave.
What happened?
It's Wanwan! Are you satisfied now?
Wanwan? What's wrong with Wanwan?
Wanwan's body has never been well.
Yesterday after she fought with you,
she didn't sleep well all night! She got sick this morning!
I'm begging you, Wanwan, you will be okay!
You will be okay!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Clouds of the World Team @ Viki
Who is she?
Wanwan!
You all go out first.
Yurou, it's my fault to be unable to save Wanwan.
Teacher. That's not Wanwan.
That can't be Wanwan!
I have heard about what happened between you two.
Wanwan's death is because she contracted an incurable illness. It has nothing to do with you.
Don't run yourself into a corner and think wrong thoughts.
You must protect your own body!
It's not true!
It's not true! It's not true!
Wanwan!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
So you are the second prince of this place? No wonder you got mad at me.
I'm sorry.
It's okay! I didn't tell you two about being a descendant of Nv Wa either. Let's call it even.
Xiao Man is the most magnanimous.
It's good that you two don't mind that I come from the demon realm.
Don't you also not mind that I am a descendant of Nv Wa?
That's true.
Anyway, you wanted us to get to know the City of Sacrifice.
You didn't want us to misunderstand this place like others to. We can't blame you.
Your Highness. Jiang Yunfan, Xiao Man, you have finally come.
He's Mu Yi, Regent of the Demon Realm.
This is the Sage Cauldron?
It's quite embarrassing. It shouldn't be here.
I once tried multiple times to return it to the human realm.
-But, it never worked.-If the Sage Cauldron didn't have the power to open the waterways,
We wouldn't have needed to become enemies with humans for the sake of fighting over the Sage Cauldron.
You guys have already seen how the City's like.
Please forgive our actions on behalf of the citizens.
Of course! It's not your fault.
But...looking at this,
it seems like quite the normal object!
This Sage Cauldron has been here for over twenty years.
We once tried to use it according to the ancient methods multiple times.
But it didn't work. Perhaps,
it's because it is here.
It cannot activate it's magical power.
Xiao Man, you are a descendant of Nv Wa. Can you activate it?
I can give it a try.
If you are willing to give it a try, I'd be very grateful.
If you succeed, it can be considered
some hope to be given to our tribe.
This...what is written here?
It says...Shen Nong...
something something thus...
It's too complicated, I don't really recognize it either.
Mr. Jiang, you are so young yet able to understand ancient characters.
Your future is bright.
Oh no, no. I don't know why either.
It's just... it looks like I understand it.
Mr. Jiang, to have this special ability,
He must be one of the Venerable descendants of Shen Nong.
Venerable?
It is also the Shen Nong Tribe's
highest bloodline.
It's worth congratulating.
I only understand a little bit of this Sage Cauldron's text.
It says if you want to obtain it's help,
you must follow the rules to obtain it's approval to control it.
If you want to obtain it's power, you must make a wish.
If it thinks that this wish can be granted,
then it will help that person.
Wish?
Can each person only make one wish?
Xiao Man, do you have a lot of wishes?
Before I came here, I originally wanted to use the Sage Cauldron to do other things.
But...compared to your grand wishes, mine...
Anyway, as long as we can find a way to fix the waterways, it's good.
Miss Xiao Man is magnanimous. It's alright to ask a few more questions.
See if it will be willing to answer.
I want to know the way to make a love spell!
The mystical medicine that keeps two people together forever, with their hearts never changing.
The way to make a love spell is not complicated.
The only catch is that the ones that use it
must have reciprocal feelings for each other. If only one person uses it,
it will only become an incurable poison that makes someone live in unbearable pain for the rest of their life.
They have to both be in love with each other?
One person can't just like the other?
The human heart is the most uncertain thing in this world.
It's not possible to interfere with it from the outside.
The ‘everlasting love’ brought about by the potion simply means
its poison will activate and kill off the one
who betrays their lover.
Then what difference is there from other spells? It's just a lie!
Miss Xiao Man is adorable and kind.
If you fall for someone and use your sincerity to gain their love,
and loving them till the end of time...
then you will definitely be able to move the other person. Why would you need a love spell?
I don't need it!
If what you say is true, then why would someone who's kinder and prettier than me
a million times be suffering in loneliness now?
I'm not asking anything else! You ask!
Yunfan, what about you?
My wish...is to see my mother one more time.
I have a lot of things to ask her.
"Wandering Dream Spell." What's that?
It is a type of magic that can turn back time.
Only a descendant of Nv Wa can use this magic.
Of course I have to help Jiang Yunfan!
It says that this magic takes a lot of power.
Miss Xiao Man, you may be a descendant of Nv Wa,
but you are still young, with limited power.
If you forcibly use this magic, you will put your life in danger.
Also, you have to find the five sacred pearls of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth
to use this magic.
Sacred Land Pearl, Sacred Wind Pearl, Sacred Thunder Pearl, and Sacred Fire Pearl, we have all four of them.
We only need to find the Sacred Water Pearl, it's not that hard.
However...is the Wandering Dream Spell harder than restoring the water supply?
The opposite actually. It's much easier.
Then that's good!
Stinky Long You, what do you want to ask?
Me? It's enough if I get to eat and sleep enough every day.
Why don't you ask it to resolve your problems for you?
Wouldn't it lower the Cauldron's worth if it could grant wishes like a magic lamp? It's a sacred relic after all.
Uncle Mu Yi, since you take care of the country in Long Ming's place,
and he's the king of this place, where is he now?
At that time, after His Highness brought the Sage Cauldron here,
he returned to the human realm. If I didn't guess wrong,
he went to look for the five Sacred Pearls.
He mentioned that he'll be going to Miao Jiang.
But after he left, we lost contact.
Just now, His Highness asked that the Cauldron
be returned. In my opinion,
it was indeed a little cowardly of us to have stolen it.
But, for the waterways of this world,
we had no choice but to do it. I'm truly ashamed.
It's good now, Miss Xiao Man.
Take it away and return it to Mt. Shu.
In the past, Lady Nv Wa used the Sacred Water Pearl to solve the drought.
Now, as long as we can find the Sacred Water Pearl, we can definitely restore the water sources for the people here.
I'm looking forward to your good news.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Clouds of the World Team @ Viki
It's you guys? Where did you go?
Us? We went to play.
We went to the village marketplace for a walk.
-Since we've been discovered, we're willing to be punished.-Walk in the marketplace?
Why did you come back from the marketplace covered in demonic aura that set off Mt. Shu's wards?
Your lies aren't convincing!
-Long You, what's going on?-I don't know.
There's only a few of them.
Let's make a break for it. Then we won't admit to anything, okay?
We...
Junior Master, this must be a misunderstanding!
Breaking sect rules is breaking sect rules!
No! Junior Master, let me explain!
There's no need to say so much!
Brothers, swords are heartless.
Bring them to the main hall!
Temporary Sect Leader, Senior Brothers.
I didn't watch over these three properly and let them wander into the demon lands
and went into the demon realm. I have brought the three of them for punishment.
We know we were wrong.
You were wrong? Do you really know you were wrong?
The three of you are very daring. You dare to break into the forbidden demon realm?
How dare you break sect rules time and again!
You cannot be let off lightly!
Teacher!
That's right. A harsh punishment cannot be avoided, especially for Yunfan.
You're so wayward. You've really let your Teacher down!
Senior Brother Yi Pin let go of Yunfan in a moment of weakness.
It looks like it was a big mistake.
Temporary Sect Leader, Teacher, Senior and Junior Masters, going to the demon realm was my idea.
I am willing to take any punishment.
I broke the sect rules. I am willing to be punished.
If you two fight to be the hero, what am I supposed to do?
We'll take the good and the bad together! Let's be punished together!
I'm not like somebody who abandons others!
Xiao Man!
I won't keep it from you all, Senior Brothers. The three of them breaking sect rules,
because of me.
I hope you will all be understanding.
Junior Sister, why do you say that?
I won't keep it a secret.
My big sister Ling Bo hasn't been missing for many years.
She was dealt with by Sect Leader Tai Wu.
Big Sister died on Mt. Shu long ago, her body falling into the water.
Big Sister worked with a demon to steal the Sage Cauldron.
There's nothing I can say about Sect Leader dealing with a traitor.
Nor do I dare to have any objections.
But...where that Sage Cauldron is,
where that demon is, I have always wanted to know.
So, this is why Long You and Yunfan
broke into the demon realm without a second thought.
No matter what the reason is, breaking into the demon realm is a serious crime of Mt. Shu.
They cannot be spared.
Junior Master Qing Shi, if you want to know the truth and find the Sage Cauldron, one must go to the demon realm!
"We must descend into the tiger's den in order to get tiger cubs!"
Xiao Man, you may say that, but-
It started with me, I'll take responsibility! Even if the three of them are wrong,
it's my fault! If you are to severely punish them,
I cannot stand by and do nothing! Temporary Sect Leader, please give the punishment.
So Junior Master Ling Yin is still protecting us.
As for the three of them, I ask that Temporary Sect Leader
and all of you Senior Brothers punish them differently.
Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, how do you think they should be punished?
I didn't think that Ling Bo died under Sect Leader Tai Wu's hands.
It's indeed very hard to have thought of that.
But the current matter hasn't been dealt with. We can only let go of the past for now.
Senior Brother Tie Bi, I have a different way of seeing things.
Ling Bo's death was the start of all this.
Long You, Yunfan, and Xiao Man might have broken sect rules,
but it's understandable. If we punish them severely,
then Ling Yin would also have to be punished.
Senior Brother Yi Pin has already been punished for Yunfan.
If Ling Yin is punished now too,
it's not a good thing for Mt. Shu.
Besides, we are in a time of many troubles.
We should be more generous, and not make a mountain out of a molehill.
We can't do that! If we just leave it at this,
how can we answer to our disciples?
How can we manage Mt. Shu?
How about this? Lock up the three of them first.
Once their demonic aura dissipates,
They shall receive suitable punishment as an example to others.
I agree with what Senior Sister says.
Now that we mention it, did you three discover anything in the demon realm?
Did you discover the Sage Cauldron?
How is the demon realm doing now?
If you all went, you would definitely be scared by what is there!
Those demons don't care about their lives for one drop of water!
Old people don't hesitate to sacrifice themselves to let their family members drink more water.
It's unbearably cruel!
Xiao Man, what did you say?
The Demon Realm has become a barren wasteland.
Their waterways dried up long ago.
Their lives are a living hell.
Even knowing it's impossible, they still tried to escape.
Someone once even slammed themselves against Nv Wa's seal.
They're not free at all. They'd rather die.
Junior Masters, did you know?
The souls of the disconsolate...
There are more of them than the stars in the sky!
If there's no way of restoring the demon realm waterways, they can only die!
Right now, the only way is to find the long lost Sacred Water Pearl and use the Sage Cauldron to restore the waterway.
You found the Sage Cauldron?
Yes-
Yes, I did see it. They want to use the Sage Cauldron to restore the waterways.
Once the waterways are restored, they will definitely return it, don't worry!

Where is Yunfan? Are they inside?
Junior Sister. The Temporary Sect Leader and the Junior Masters are inside interrogating them.
I want to see them.
The Temporary Sect Leader has given orders that no one can go inside.
No! I want to go in right now! I need to understand the situation!
I'm sorry, Junior Sister, just wait here. You can't go in.
Move aside!
Stop!
-Junior Master.-Junior Master.
Yurou!
What are you doing?
Junior Master, Junior Sister Yurou wanted to break into the main hall. We didn't let her, so she attacked us.
Yurou, why are you being so rash?
Come with me!
Are you not going to even listen to your teacher now?
Among the Mt. Shu disciples, you are the best at following the rules.
How come you no longer adhere to the code of conduct?
Today, you even fought with your fellow disciples? What is going on?
Yurou! You have disappointed your teacher too much!
Perhaps the me now is the real me.
In the past, I would do as others wanted.
I had no opinions or thoughts. From now on,
I want to do what I want to do.
You are disrespecting your seniors and doing as you wish!
Is that what you want to do?
You have disappointed me too much!
I feel very sorry to make you angry, Teacher.
But I don't want to live to please others anymore.
I also want to live happily once. Even if I make you disappointed,
I will continue to act this way.
Yurou!
I tried to force my way into the main hall, and argued with Teacher.
I hope that you will forgive me. But, Yunfan and the others,
I must see them!
♫ I tried so hard to see through the darkness of night ♫
♫ But I can no longer understand the brightness of light ♫
♫ I no longer care about what's right and what's wrong ♫
♫ But I still want to know where the line is between those two ♫
♫ How should I choose to start so that I could end it well ♫
♫ How should I change my fate so that I won't leave any regret ♫
♫ Will the different roads we chose lead to the same destination? ♫
♫ Who are those people we found ourselves to be? ♫
♫ So much joy; so much sorrow ♫
♫ Whether we laugh or cry, we'll miss them all ♫
♫ How many are awake; how many are drunk ♫
♫ Does it matter whether or not our dreams are real ♫
♫ No matter how I choose to start, I must end it well ♫
♫ No matter how I change my fate, I have no reason for regret ♫
♫ It doesn't matter whether or not our roads will lead to the same destination ♫
♫ At least I've already let go of who I am ♫
