[Investiture of The Gods]
[Episode 15]
I'm back!
I'm so hungry! Quick, give me a bowl of noodles!
Hello?
What happened? Where's everyone?
Hello? Hello?
Why am I here?
Why are you here, too?
You followed me over, didn't you?
Are you bored? Don't have anything else to do?
Why would I be bored without anything to do?
It's just that today,
I will use all of my precious time on you.
Why? Tell me the reason.
Everyone likes fresh things.
The rarer it is, the greater the enticement.
The more greedy your appetite is, the more you can't withstand enticement.
Greedy appetite? What's that?
Noodles?
Then come to have some.
I am here to retrieve your soul.
Come! Enter my magic gourd.
You will be able to reunite with your mother.
You will feel endless joy.
Come on!
Come on.
You indeed aren't a normal human.
You can refuse the attraction of my magic gourd.
But I have even collected the soul of Yao Ji of the immortal realm into my gourd.
Do you think a weak soul like yours
can't be taken by me?
Master!
Master.
Are you a woman who's made from a ghost?
You only have a spirit, but no soul?
The Six Passes of Taihang Mountain.
It should be Eight Passes.
Why are you still here?
Fine! Don't care about whether the people beside you live or die.
Don't get angry.
Didn't you see it? I promised Prince Wucheng I'd finish the terrain map.
Are you talking about the one at the Prince's Manor? That's the terrain map?
Yes. So, I'm really busy.
What's so hard about that? I like drawing pictures the most.
Dogs, cats, I draw them super realistically.
But we don't have much money so we can't afford brushes and ink.
You know how to paint?
If I'm lying to you, I'm a puppy.
Fine! I believe you. You should quickly go and have lunch.
Move aside! Give it to me.
So you really can paint?
Look here! The Eight Passes of Taihang should be here.
Here?
- No. - Here?
Here! Do you see? Here.
Okay.
Isn't there a river here?
Yes. Look! It says so here.
From the bottom up. No, it flows from the top down like this.
Through the entire mountain range, it's drawn very clearly here. Look!
I'll go to find a map for you. You'll understand once you see it.
Brother Wu Ji,
after things are settled this time, will you go back to the noodle shop with me?
I'm the kind of person who can't stay in a single place for too long.
This time, I've stayed in Zhaoge city for too long.
And the number of miscellaneous things I shouldn't butt into is too many.
Are you angry for real?
Xiao E? What happened?
Come to your senses!
Why are you so hot?
Did you see? That is the Longevity Palace.
Tomorrow, I'll have someone send you over. Remember,
never forget the empress's kindness.
I would never dare to.
In a while, someone will come over to teach you the rules of the palace.
Remember them well, understand?
I will definitely learn diligently and remember them.
[Longevity Palace]
Dad, you're back from getting groceries?
- Where's your mother? - At the noodle shop.
- Did your mom make oil pancakes? - No.
Then I'll drink some tea.
Dad, Brother Wu Ji is leaving.
He's going to wander to the end of the world.
Master! Xiao E! She— Please save her.
Move aside!
Oh no.
Her temperature is so high and her six vital veins are all damaged.
What exactly happened? Why did she collapse? What happened?
Her forehead is so hot you could make flatbread on it.
Ning'er, go outside.
Why are you chasing me away?
If you are here, it'll be inconvenient for me to save Xiao E.
- Yang Jian. - Yes?
- Remove Xiao E's clothes. - Okay.
Master, she's a woman.
- I know. - I'm a man.
Oh, I only knew just now. Hurry up and take off Xiao E's clothes.
Master, why did you shoo Lan Ying out just then?
You should have shooed me out, and let Lan Ying take her clothes off.
My daughter isn't married yet.
She can't see the things that she shouldn't see. They will tarnish her.
Master, what do you mean by "things she shouldn't see"?
They're both females. What is there that she shouldn't see?
Th-Th-Then Take off Xiao E's clothes and then she'll become a man or a monster.
That, I can't say for sure.
So, you have to be careful. Take them off!
Hurry up and take them off!
Yang Jian, you just take care of helping her remove her clothes.
Don't let your imagination run wild.
Master, why don't you take them off?
I can't! My wife would accuse me of being lecherous.
Don't worry! I definitely won't tell your wife about this.
I have to keep tirelessly teaching you.
Your master is like your father, as righteous as someone who is living in Heaven.
I'm your master. If I tell you to take them off, you have to take them off. Take them off!
- Master, you're pressuring me by saying this. - Experience! What you're lacking most is experience.
How is this giving me experience?
What nonsense are you speaking? If I tell you to take them off, you take them off.
Do you want to let Xiao E die? Take them off.

Master, there's a tattoo on her stomach.
It's the head of a beast.
What beast?
It looks like a tiger, or a wolf, or a cat.
Not a bull.
- It's a spirit dog. - That's right! It's a spirit dog.
Cover it!
Master, what was that just now?
Why is there a tattoo of a spirit dog's head on Xiao E's stomach?
You'll figure it out eventually.
Why is it that phrase again? Who is Xiao E actually?
Why won't she get drunk no matter how much wine she drinks?
And why would her stomach have this kind of symbol?
She definitely isn't a normal person.
- Why is it like this? - The fire is burning.
With a will, you can achieve anything. I'm so touched I could die.
Master, Xiao E is afraid of fire.
Should be...
Master.
Xiao E, she...
Is she human?
- I guess she counts as one. - Master.
Is this very important?
After you clear up these questions, will Xiao E not be Xiao E anymore?
Will she be someone else?
Then, will Xiao E die?
She can't die, but she also can't live on.
- Then will she wake up? - Yes.
When?
Yang Jian, not only did you not grow eyes, but you also didn't grow ears.
Xiao E said it right in front of you already, but you didn't hear her.
When did she say that? What did she say?
- She said seven days. - Seven days.
On the small hillside, Xiao E said it herself.
She will close down for seven days.
Xiao E, your master's wife said that you would be closed down for a few days.
Seven days.
You don't have to look at her.
Xiao E, herself,
doesn't even know what she said.
Li'er.
You are...
Consort Su, I'm a newcomer.
What are you called?
I am called Rui Li.
Rui Li?
Lady, can you call my name once?
Come a bit closer.
You really look like her.
Your Highness...
There was another girl named Li Er.
She grew up with me and we were like blood-related sisters.
Then, where is she now?
She died.
She died in Jizhou.
I don't know whose sword killed her.
I am also from Jizhou.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What's wrong with a person looking at another person?
[Virtue Palace]
Bi De, come here.
Your Highness.
Has the crown prince never woken up before?
Not really. The crown prince didn't even wake up once.
Look at him!
It seems like he's been dreaming this whole time.
This... Only a mother would be able to tell.
I really can't tell.
Mother, do you still remember?
When I went to pay my respects at Master's grave on the seventh day after Master Du Yuan Xi died?
On my way back to the palace, I accidentally bumped into a girl.
She was the one who brought my bow to the third house on Wai Bo Zi Lane.
The bent road... Fake 3rd house...
Ma Family Noodle House, Jiang Ziya?
Yes.
Who's there? Stop!
It's been three days and I still haven't seen him.
Who are you talking about, Your Highness?
Nothing.
Rui Li, let me ask you.
What happened this month in the palace?
I haven't heard anything.
Have any palace maids died?
No.
Hurry! Don't let anyone slip by over here. Hurry! Don't let anyone slip by over here either!
Search thoroughly!
Why are there guards in Longevity Palace?
- Your Highness. - What happened that they're so anxious?
I heard that there's a demon in the palace.
A demon?
- What do you mean? - There was a soldier who saw something.
It went over the northwestern palace wall and entered the palace.
Other than him, others saw as well.
But it seems that the thing... was shot by an arrow.
Was it really shot?
Are you sure it wasn't another animal?
It's definitely that demon.
The guards are searching everywhere for it.
Go outside and take a look.
If there's any movement near Longevity Palace, tell me.
Yes.
All of you, get out. Carefully look around.
Yes.
What happened? How did you become like this?
Your Highness! Your Highness!
We are the imperial guards! Please quickly open the door!
Hurry and get up! You can't stay here.
- Your Highness! - The soldiers are here.
Open the door, Your Highness! We are the imperial guards!
Your Highness!
Open the door, Your Highness!
Your Highness! Your Highness, open the door!
We're the imperial guard. Your Highness, open the door!
Hurry! Become invisible immediately. They'll be entering soon!
- Your Highness. - Right now, I can't even heal my own wounds.
- Where would I find the ability to make myself invisible? - Your Highness, open the door!
We are the imperial guards!
Open the door! Your Highness, open the door!
No matter how we knock, Consort Su isn't responding.
Is Consort Su really inside?
She is. She's by herself inside.
She told us to come out to search so we all came out.
We are responsible for this place. We had better see for ourselves.
Excuse us for our lack of manners. As the door still hasn't been opened, smash it open.
Yes, Sir!
Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!
You, go over there! You, go over there!
What are you doing? Who gave you permission to charge in here?
Did Your Highness not here us calling from outside?
I am currently paying my respects to my parents.
Are you saying that when I heard your calls,
I should have opened the door?
Your Highness, please forgive my ignorance.
I thought that there might have been an accident inside.
I beg your forgiveness.
Your Highness, I must search the funerary palace.
Please graciously permit this.
You have to search here?
Can it be that you don't know whose memorial tablet this is?
Your Highness, His Majesty ordered that regardless of how high or low the place,
the entire palace must be searched to arrest the monster.
You do not have to search here.
His Majesty will understand.
- All of you, retreat! - The king ordered that
no place within the palace would be an exception.
Do you want me to cut off your head?
Your Highness, this is the king's order.
- Search! - You dare!
Search!
Since you've finished searching, all of you leave!
If you still do not leave, I will report to His Majesty.
None of you should expect to live.
Please forgive us, Your Highness.
Why can't you recover?
Can't you bring people back to life?
I myself am about to die.
How could I possibly bring people back to life?
Die? You can also die?
Anything that has a spirit can die.
I was too careless.
I swallowed a spirit that I should not have swallowed.
I don't believe that a single spirit could cost you your life.
A water buffalo will be poisoned to death if it swallows half a piece of a purple sunflower leaf.
An elephant will lose its life by swallowing
one rainbow ant.
How can I save you?
A drop of hot blood.
A fresh drop of hot blood.
One drop of blood is enough?
One drop is enough.
You said
that you will really die?
Yes.
Just disappear...
like that?
Yes.
Zi Xu will die.
He will disappear.
Your Highness.
Li Er.
Your Highness, I'm the slave servant Rui Li.
Your Highness, your complexion doesn't look too good.
What exactly are you thinking?
If I hadn't met him, what would things be like?
Would Li'er still be alive?
The "him" you're talking about, who is it?
No.
I should've met him earlier.
That way,
not only would Li'er not have died,
but maybe everyone would still be alive.
Your Highness.
That way, Father, Mother,
Brother, Li'er...
maybe none of them would have died.
Yes.
No.
I should've never met him.
If it wasn't for him,
Lady Lu Qiu wouldn't have died and that marriage would've successfully carried on.
I would've never come to this harem.
This is all because of him.
From that moment on,
everything became disorderly. A freak accident!
He should've never appeared. Never appeared!
He should've never appeared and I should've never met him.
Your Highness, what is going on with you?
It's all because of him
that I have no home to go back to.
In Jizhou City,
everything I owned,
everything that was beautiful,
all disappeared at that moment.
All of this is because of him.
All of this is because of him!
You are guilty and deserve to die! You killed so many innocent people.
In order to take my soul, you killed Jizhou's citizens. You deserve to die!
Was that my doing?
It was you! Everything happened because of you.
If it wasn't for you, everything would be perfectly fine.
Mother and Father wouldn't have died so miserably.
It's because they died
that I'm staying by your side.
Besides me,
you have no one by your side.
Why me?
I'm asking you, why me?
Because your soul
is the purest in the world.
No! If it was only for my soul, you could've taken it early on.
My life has always been held in your hand.
Why me?
Because...
your soul in this world--
That isn't even the reason.
Just because of this ridiculous reason,
I can stay by your side.
It's because of this excuse that you see as laughable
that I can raise my hands to help you.
That I can constantly protect you.
Without this reason,
how would I continue to stay by your side.
Why?
Why did you come to find me?
I hope you die more than anyone else.
Why did you come to find me?
Did you really think I would save you?
I came...
just to tell you--
To tell me that you are about to die.
When you die, I'll be free.
Why would I save you?
I'm an evil person. I won't!
Then from now on,
it'll really only be you by yourself.
[Su Hu Ancestor Tablet]
Father. Mother.

Are you regretting it?
It's too late!
Did you really think I would set you free to repay you for saving me?
Your empathy in that instant really erred your judgment.
And even if I agreed, I couldn't do it either.
When the contract has taken effect,
unless it has been completed or one side has died;
otherwise, there is no way to break it.
Now your soul
belongs to me again.
It wasn't empathy,
but a deal.
Even a beast knows to be grateful and repay kindness.
Will you be lesser than a beast?
Since this is a deal,
state your conditions.
From now on,
you can't stop me from taking revenge.
You must listen to me on that.
This condition can't be renegotiated, you'd better name your second one.
Don't leave me by myself!
Deal!
Ziya, as your master, I confer upon you this elixir.
Unless it becomes absolutely necessary, you must not use it.
Remember at all costs. Remember at all costs.
What are you doing? Why are you being so sneaky?
Hurry and give that back to me! This is the gold pellet.
The gold pellet that my master conferred upon me is to save a life.
Bah! You're daydreaming again!
Wife, quickly give that back to me! I have to take it to save Xiao E.
Xiao E remains unconscious.
Only this small pellet can save her life.
Old fool! I'm telling you.
You tell other people's fortunes every day.
Scamming people's money is nothing much.
But this medicine cannot be foolishly eaten. It will kill people.
This is really a gold pellet.
Look at it! When has poison ever been shiny?
Don't move!
I'm telling you to not move.
Don't move!
You don't say, it's really pretty.
Don't grab it!
