King, King, King
You two idiots.You dare bold enough to come back.
Please, forgive us, my highness. We came back for such a long time
for some reason. We have an important thing reporting to my highness.
Big issue! My highness.
Say it quickly.
If there is any singer word make me feel uncomfortable, I will kill you.
Scoundrel Chi Yu. Hang over your life.
Xuan Yuan!
What's the matter?
You two idiots! You don't wipe your asses. You even don't know you were followed.
You are a idiot! Where did you go for so many days?
You reported nothing to me! You really think I dare not kill you?
Please forgive me my highness. Chi Mei rushed day and night.
In order to help my highness to deal with Xing Hu and etc.
Scoundrel! Lose the greater for the less.
The most important thing right now is disposing of that yellow emperor kid.
Nothing else matters.
Chi Mei! Be careful, my highness.
Chi Mei misconducted and had ulterior motives.
That day, We almost killed Xing Hu,
but we were held back from behind by Chi Mei's conjuration,
which gave us this embaressment today. Kill him!
Wait.
Explain it. What the hell is it?
My highness, I have my own plan.
How can allow this two demons make troubles?
So I gave them a small lesson. Please forgive me, my highness.
Your guts are growing!
I wouldn't dare be so hasty. But in this case there was a reason.
I am trying to looking for conjuration. The heart for serving my highness
did I take a sincere educational measure. My highness, you will understand soon.
Hnn. Rubbish! You only can say pages of nonsense. Look at your situation,
you tell me how to remedy the situation.
Your highness, all in all, the cause for this situation
it's just because the military strength is not enough.
What if I could bring Your Majesty an immortal army?
Monster troops? Monster troops!
Where are you barbarians from? How dare you infiltrate Tibet without permission!
If you dare take another step, you shall be severely punished!
General, these wild barbarians have repeatedly attacked,
why don't we just kill them all to avoid future problems?
Killing will never solve the problem.
If you kill them, their next generation will take revenge later.
We can only take temporary measures and block them from entering.
Come brothers, let's return.
After we go through that mountain, we will reach Tibet when day breaks.
Let's go.
The women here have extremely long hair.
Do you realise, that upon entering Tibet
you can only see girls here.
All of them have long hair and are such ravishing beauties!
Black haired enchanters. Naturally it increases the gracefulness.
It is such a moving scene. So much beauty!
Looking at the enamoured look on your face, you might not follow us to find the other zodiacs.
Just stay here and be a son-in-law.
Anyway you have already gotten married once in Glazed Glass Kingdom,
You might as well get married a few more times.
Just remain and stare at beauties all day,
and follow your heart's wishes.
Good men has great aspirations wherever they may be.
I'll just wait till I'm older then retire here to live out my years in comfort.
But I feel that these girls
have an ominous sounding laughter.
I also have the same feeling.
So ugly!
Look, so ugly, she's so ugly.
All these foreign ladies are so ugly.
She looks rather strange.
Look, they are so strange.
They look so ugly.
It's so funny!
Brother Xiao Hu, I'm hungry.
- Hungry? Why don't we take a rest first? - Okay.
Let's go.
So ugly!
Ling Ji.
- It's strange. I stare at your looks and mine, - Xue Ling.
and I don't think we could be considered ugly anywhere.
But we keep hearing them say that we are ugly, it makes me feel frustrated.
Ling Ji, why bother about their comments.
We are merely passing through to deliver the Blade of Rolling Clouds and then we'll leave.
Xue Lian is right. Let's just ignore them. Quickly accomplish our task and leave.
Take a look over there.
Why don't the rest of you stay here? Mi Junfei and I will go over there and take a look.
Perhaps, they would know the whereabouts of General Yuan Ye.
Let's go.
You may not be used to this.
The two ladies might not know that over here we are called Tibet (Wu Si)
The words 'Wu Si' literally mean black hair.
All the girls here keep their hair long,
how beautiful a girl is, depends on the length of her hair.
The longer the hair, the prettier they are and vice versa.
The most beautiful girl with the longest hair will be selected to become queen.
So that is how our current queen, Wu Ya'er was chosen.
Elder, based on what you mean,
because our hair are not long enough, that's why they are laughing at us?
They are young and don't know anything.
Plus they rarely see foreigners. I hope you two can be understanding.
Thank you, Elder, for your explanation.
Wow.
They are half man and horse.
Lower your voice.
They are looking. Let's ask for General Yuan Ye then leave.
Stop there.
We are not trying to harm you.
- Look at them they look so strange. - How did they grow up to be like that?
Hold on! Hold on!
It's fine, it's fine. We don't mean that.
Look, there are so many of you. Why don't we play a game?
Let's take a bet. We'll compete on archery.
If I win, then could you please tell me where General Yuan Ye is?
Just you? You want to compete with us on archery?
Everyone on the army here are experts with the bow.
We all have amazing skills.
Seems to me like you wouldn't dare...
Would I not dare? If you lose, what will be your penalty?
You decide ,huh?
Fine!
Alright. He will compete with you.
All of you are so annoying!
Let me tell you, do not go to far in bullying someone!
If not I will not forgive you!
You're just a little child, you don't seem to be the child of either of these ugly women.
Do you have no mother to teach you manners?
You all- You all only have long hair!
I will chop off all your hair and see what you do about that!
Ha!
I'll chop off your hair, I'll chop off your hair!
Good!
All the best.
Great!
Oh no you didn't hit the target again.
It's your last arrow now. If you miss it then that's it.
Give it your all!
Don't run!
Don't run, don't run!
Little Fish, Little Fish stop fooling around!
All of you don't run!
Little fish!
Sister Ling Ji, why is that person half human and half horse?
What kind of monster are you?
All the males here in Tibet
are all half man and half horse. There is nothing odd about it.
Meanwhile you people, how dare you be so rude in our country!
Brother Xiao Hu! Brother Mi!
Come and save me!
Save me!
Where did you get this sword from?
I... I... I...
General, you are so great!
General, you're great!
Wait, wait!
They're calling him General Yuan Ye!
Who is this about?
This is the thing: Ping An from the Three-Eyed Kingdom
told us to deliver the Blade of Rolling Clouds to you, that is why we are here.

Come, let's make a toast.
It's alright.
I'll take this cup as punishment.
I apologise for not being able to tell friend from foe.
I have hurt the few of you, that is a great crime.
General, you need not blame yourself. Just now we were too hot-headed. So we're the responsible for this.
Indeed, but luckily from an exchange of blows friendship grows
As a result of this fight, we found you.
I only wanted to teach this child a lesson.
I never imagined his hand will be holding the rolling clouds sword.
Brother Ping An was always very stern in keeping his promises.
If not for the life danger I've had over my head, I would not be able to give up this sword.
I thought you conspired to murder him,
and robbed the sword.
Righteous indignation has led me to intervene hastily. I have greatly sinned.
Your moral looks and strict dignity, they are admirable. Come, I'll pay your respect with another cup.
- Hey, me too! Come. - ok
- Me too. - Me too.
Come, let's go for it.
Come.
But then again,
I never imagined that brothen Ping An will be an incarnation of the dog zodiac,
and will join his power to the great cause of saving the world.
Come, let's drink another cup in honor of brother Ping An.
Ok
Getting to know you, was indeed a lucky occurance.
If we were not obligated to searching the twelve zodiacs, we would probably like to stay here longer.
and drink our fill with you for a few days.
Ok, ok
Reporting to the general.
These are all my friends. What is there to refrain of, speak, what is it?
Yes, general. Another lady's corpse was seen in our land.
It seems like died last night and lost the hair, which must be killed by that Stealing hair demon.
The Stealing hair demon agin!
Allow me to interrupt you. is there a demon in your Tibet country?
Recently, there is a demon haunting around. Killing ladies at night
and stealing their hair.
My country's ladies consider the hair as life. This way of death
it's too horrible.
Brother Yuan, are you going to check the scene right now? How about we going with you?
How dare I can bother you! You have urgent matters.
Brother Yuan, don't worry about that. Kill demon and defense Tao are our responsibilities.
Brother Yuan, Brother Mi and I have learnt Medical skill. We might helpful.
Ok, no more delay, let's go.
Don't talk in riddles.
What do you think?
Brother Yuan, the demon you mentioned
Does anyone see it? or?
Nobody has seen it. but the demon is so savage currently.
Killed several people and stole their hair.
So it has been called as Stealing hair demon.
- So it is - What are you saying?
This is a blunt force injury.
What's that mean?
It means that the murderer is not a demon, but a human.
Human?
What a pity! All decedents are the most beautiful with the longest hair.
The murderer‘s killing must follow some rules or connections.
The killed lady had the longest hair.
It will keep the same way for the next person who might be killed
Could it be the Queen?
No, it can't be the Queen.
Even though she has the longest hair, but the Imperial Palace has severe guarded.
That's why murderer didn't put their hands on Queen.
But, Brother Yuan, why after you hear of Queen,
you changed your face?
It's a long story.
Report to General, Queen has a decree.
Ask General into the Imperial Palace.
Yes.
Yuan Ye, upon opposing the barbarians this time
You have set a great achievement, didn't you?
Guarding the homeland is my inherent duty. I would not take the credit for another's actions.
Would not take the credit for another's actions? I see your achievements made you grow arrogant.
You have made an achievement and did not come to report.
Was it necessary to make me send an envoy to summon you?
Your servant wouldn't dare. It's just that important matters came up.
You have a lot of excuses.
Who are they?
These are friends who came from far away.
They come from Three-Eyed Kingdom
to return this kingdom's most valuable treasure, the Blade of Rolling Clouds.
Rolling clouds sword?
It is said that you are fast beyond recognition.
You are the fastest in the country. You have the capability to chase after the sun.
Your Highness, these are just rumors from the people.
It's nothing like this.
General, you are too modest.
To celebrate the return of the Blade of Rolling Clouds to the country,
we will hold a sun-chasing grand ceremony.
In this ceremony you, general, will go out from our country
and chase the sun.
In antiquity Kuafu chased the sun, and now the general will chase the sun.
Validating the prospering image of my land, Tibet.
If you are successful in chasing after the sun, I will give the Blade of Rolling Cloud to you.
Give him the sword?
What's wrong? Could it be that you give yourself a lot of credits and look down on others?
You don't even want to listen to me?
I wouldn't dare to. Thank you for your kindness.
Strange. This Empress Wu Ya'er
doesn't seem to know much about General Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye. The day when you chase after the sun, it's also the day of your death.
I must get rid of a calamity like you.
You can leave.
Brother Yuan, why is the Empress applying pressure on you?
She seems to hold a grudge against Brother Yuan.
It's not only this.
Brother Yuan, what is your past with the Empress?
What are you saying, Brother Mi?
Brother Yuan, you may not know. I used to practice mind reading.
When I read her mind, I discovered that she... Forget about it.
If you have anything to say, be direct.
The Empress is vicious. When you are chasing after the sun, she wants to secretly harm you.
The queen doesn't seem like a good person.
Maybe you all don't understand the queen that well.
Although she is a little harsh, she isn't vicious.
Brother Yuan. Whether it's true or not, you must not participate in chasing after the sun.
Being with a royal ruler is tantamount to living with a tiger.
Thus, Brother Yuan, you must be extra careful.
If the royal ruler wants me to die, I must die.
I'm from a generation of generals who are loyal and brave.
Can I let myself put family's honor to ruins?
- It's not that. - Don't say anymore.
I have already decided. Thank you, everyone, for your kind intentions.

Who are you? How dare you offend us?
Xing Hu, why are we still not leaving?
We still can't leave. We must wait for Brother Yuan to return first.
Brother Xiao Hu is right. Only when Brother Yuan is back, we can leave without any worries then.
By going there, Brother Yuan must be in grave danger.
That Empress must have laid a trap for him.
Brother Yuan is a good person. He will get help from heaven. God will definitely protect him.
I hope so but it's really strange.
Brother Yuan is active in protecting country. Why would there be grudges between him and the Empress?
It won't be of any help if we just wait.
Why don't we check the place first? If anything were to happen, we can take care of it.
- Okay, let's go. - Let's go.
- Brother. - Brother Yuan.
- Stop. - Brother Yuan, where are you?
- Brother Yuan. - Brother Yuan.
Brother Yuan has lost a lot of blood.
He needs to be supplemented with herbs.
I'm going to get the herbs. Take him back now.
Brother Yuan, are you much better?
I'm fine.
Brother Yuan, what happened?
Do you still need to ask? That evil Empress must have done it.
I have always been loyal to the country.
I didn't expect the Empress to be so vicious.
She even laid a trap for me when I was chasing after the sun.
If you didn't save me, I would have died.
I think it's not true. It's better that you carefully think about this.
She could have gone through something to make her feel this hatred.
You should know that women excel in keeping grudges.
And sorrowfully one drop of hatred is enough to throw the world into chaos.
I also think that
there must be a reason.
The Empress wants to harm Brother Yuan.
It seems to be a long standing matter.
That's right, Brother Yuan. Think carefully about this.
Empress Wu Ya'er
came from a family with hardships.
Because she was beautiful and has long hair, she was recommended as the choice to be the Empress.
When she became the Empress, she was a model mother of the kingdom.
She received praises from the people in the country.
As of today, the events for her transformation
started when she fell sick.
At that time, she was severely sick.
Her attitude changed tremendously.
Get lost. Everyone, scam!
When her illness couldn't be treated, she was furious
and beheaded some well known royal doctors.
- Kill them all. - Your Highness, spare our lives.
You are quack physicians. You deserve to die.
- Kill them. - Your Highness, spare my life.
One night, I rambled in the bamboo forest
and accidentally discovered a secret.
In the deep of the night,
this woman was in danger.
Your Highness...
What happened after that? Was it her?
I clearly saw her
but to protect her reputation,
I have always kept this a secret.
I have never told anyone about this.
Looks like you don't understand a woman's heart.
Wu Ya'er was chosen to be the Empress because of her long hair.
Because of this illness, she became bald.
Of course, she wants to get rid of you to shut your mouth.
But when I met the Empress, she had hair.
That's right. I remember now. At that time, the Empress has very long hair.
It didn't look like they just grew.
I heard she dreamed of a divine physician who taught her witchcraft.
Not longer after, her illness was treated.
Could it be that her hair is not real?
I saw her hair.
Her hair is vibrant and luxuriant. It's probably not fake.
This is baffling. If the Empress really restored her hair back to the original,
even if Brother Yuan were to tell anyone,
it wouldn't affect her at all.
Why would she still plot to kill Brother Yuan?
Reporting.
General, we found a female corpse in the city.
The killer is also the Hunting Demon,
- You may leave. - Yes, Sir.
Don't tell me these two are related.
Hearing this person just now... after a person's death, the quality and softness of the hair is preserved for a few days.
Could this be the secret about the Empress' hair?
This is treason. You even dare to smear the reputation of the Empress?
Brother Yuan, don't be anxious first.
Brother Mi is only just deducing this.
Brother Yuan, I know you are loyal to the country
But if it is indeed the empress who doesn't hesitate to harm and take lives for her own selfish benefit.
Are you still going to protect her?
No, I must go to the palace
to check if her hair is real or not.
If she was indeed hunting people, I shall not practice favoritism.
I will immidiately take her to court. I'll put my life at stake for the women of Tibet.
Wait, Brother Yuan.
Empress Wu Ya'er holds the power.
If you go there without any evidence, don't even talk about seizing her,
it will be hard to protect your life.
I believe there is no one in the palace who can stop me.
Brother Yuan, we are not doubting your abilities. It's just that you have a good reputation.
If the empress will slander you because of this, you'll be blamed with treason. It's really not worth it.
As long as it's for the country and its people, I don't care about what others think.
Brother Yuan, you don't need to do this. Frankly, I have a plan.
Reporting, Her Highness has issued an imperial decree
to summon General Yuan Ye to the palace.
Report to the Empress that I will be there soon.
speak of the devil, isn't it so? Brother Yuan, we separate now.
Brother Yuan, you must be careful.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Seeing that you are unharmed, I'm relieved.
I heard you fell into a trap when you were chasing after the sun
and suffered injuries. I was worried.
But I didn't expect you to recover from your injuries so soon.
Seems like you are still valiant and heroic.
Thank you, Your Highness, for your concerns
but about me falling into a trap,
I have yet to report to you about this. How did you know about it?
There are many spies in the palace. Everyone in Tibet knows what's going on.
Your Highness probably know about the Hunter Demon's presence in the city.
I heard about this. I wonder if there is any progress in this case.
- There is. - There is?
I think the killings are not done by the Hunter Demon.
It's done by a human. Moreover, it's a Tibetan.
I have issued the order that after tonight,
starting tomorrow, there will be a prohibition of movements in the city.
It will be heavily guarded.
We must capture that killer, and bring it to court.
Okay, good job.
If there is nothing else, I'm taking my leave now.
Go then.
Yes.
But if there is any development about the Hunter Demon, report to me immediately.
Including this household, it's already the second household.
The woman in this family already has the longest hair in Tibet.
She may be the target of the Empress.
Now, I'm not very sure too.
It's pretty close.
Okay, it's almost time. Let's go back and meet up with Brother Yuan.
Okay, let's go.
Brother Yuan, what did you discover after seeing the Empress?
Also, is her hair real or not?
For the time being, it's not very obvious.
Based on your instructions, I already told her that
starting from tomorrow, there will be prohibition of movements in the city. It will be heavily guarded.
But tonight, it will be undefended.
That's good. I don't believe by doing this, we won't be able to lure the snake out from its cave.
If she is really the Hunter Demon,
acting in order to collect new hair, tonight she must be hasty and may be brought to justice.
When that time comes, let's split into three teams and monitor the three households.
When that time comes, we will be able to unmask the Hunter Demon.
You are indeed a formidable opponent. Fortunately, we are partners.
Brother Yuan, what's wrong? You still can't let it go?
I hope the killer is not the Empress.
There is only one truth.
We can only wait till tonight.
Okay, since we have already discussed the plan, let's split up.
The six of us will form three teams. We will split up and monitor the three households.
Who wants to be in Xing Hu's team?
Me.
Since this is the case, Ling Ji will be with Xing Hu then.
I will be with Xue Lian.
Damn you.
- If you don't let me go with Brother Xiao Hu, I will follow you. - You?
Brother Mi, why don't we do this? I will be with Brother Yuan.
Okay, let's split up. Be careful.
If we encounter any situations, let's meet up in the middle of the street.
Xue Lian, be very careful. You must stick closely to Brother Yuan Ye. Understand?
I really don't understand why you are so foolish
and waiting here so stupidly too.
Isn't it the same for you too?
You're clueless.
Are you sleeping now?
Think about it. What if the Hunter Demon doesn't fall into our trap.
That's right. What if you can't defeat her? Why aren't you thinking about this?
There are three teams. She may not choose us.
What if she comes?
I'm going to sleep. If I don't, where will I get the energy to fight with her?
Go to sleep then.
