All good!
Hey,
take good care of this girl.
If you dare
break her heart,
I’ll make you pay.
Understand?
Yes.
Kid,
take good care of yourself, too.
Tell Baili Hongshuo to practice hard.
Understand?
Master,
are you leaving again?
No. You can’t go anywhere.
Enough.
I need to practice, too.
Take care.
Master.
Master, you...
Oh, silly, after this touch,
I’m afraid
I can’t come back to see you again.
What’s happening?
Never mind. Forget it.
Come here. Give me a hug.
Xiaotong, my dear.
Xiaotong.
Listen, be brave, OK?
Baili Hongshuo...
Master.
Master!
Where are you, Master?
Hou Zhengze!
Help me find my master!
Where did he go?
Master!
Where are you?
Don’t leave me.
Xiaotong!
Let go of me!
Is the Water Jade really here?
I heard something.
There might be a way out.
You can go through walls, right?
Let’s go check it.
Dead end.
Look over there.
Who are they?
Mulberry Spirit?
Are they the legendary
Red Pine and Mulberry Princess?
The moon sinks; the sun rises from the east.
Through mountains and woods, rivers flow.
In this life and the next, in all lifetimes.
We’ll be together forever and ever.
She had
such a beautiful love story.
Something must’ve happened
to Mulberry Spirit these years.
Is that Water Jade
in their hands?
I guess.
They've already become immortals
and are no longer here.
But the answer I need is right here.
I must know regardless.
He’s left,
yet you’re still stuck here.
You two aren’t fated
to be together.
I want nothing but an answer.
Is that wrong?
So what if you know.
The more the obsession, the deeper the pain.
Aren’t you the same?
You haven't given up your obsession, either.
2,000 years have passed.
This is my only goal.
What now? Are you going to stop me?
Other than Water Jade,
other things
aren’t my concern.
Good.
Your wish will be fulfilled soon.
Fine.
The moon sinks; the sun rises from the east.
Through mountains and woods, rivers flow.
Taking a boat with whom in spring.
Still as pretty as a flower in my dream.
They were so happy before,
yet in the end,
they still parted.
She still hasn’t given up
and asked you to find the Water Jade, right?
Fine, alright.
She has to wake up.
But only a couple
in love
can get the Water Jade.
Hongyi. Do you remember
what they said?
The moon sinks;
the sun rises from the east.
Through mountains and woods,
rivers flow.
In this life and the next, in all lifetimes.
We’ll be together forever and ever.
You fear I’d die?
Don’t say that.
Or I’ll...
You think everyone is scared of you
like I am?
You did all that on purpose?
Can’t catch me, shortie!
Stop it.
This time,
I will not let you go.
Hongyi.
I’m going to marry you.
This must be the Water Jade.
I think so.
I don’t get it.
Shouldn’t
this jade
be in their hands?
Why were we asked to find it?
I guess
only Mulberry Spirit
has the answer.
Sit.
I prefer wine instead of tea.
Where am I?
What is this place?
Why is there
so much smoke?
Two people became immortals here,
so this place contains supreme power.
Red Pine once met
two Mulberry Princesses here.
Both of them
fell in love with him.
The younger one and Red Pine left to be immortals
while the elder one was trapped here.
Here in this place,
all demons can’t hide their tracks.
Isn’t it great?
Aren’t you going
to check in on your friend?
There's nothing I can do.
Demon hunter!
Don’t kill me.
Spare me, please.
Don’t kill me.
Please.
You two...
Why?
Us?
We’re drinking tea together.
A demon and a demon hunter?
They can even get married.
Why can’t we just sit and chat together?
Ling Jun. I need your help.
Turn me back to my original look,
OK?
This is your original look.
No.
It’s not.
I wasn’t
this hideous before.
Marquis can’t
see me like this.
I can’t be like this in front of him.
Please help me.
You still can’t face the truth.
You again!
Zhu Rong. You helped me once.
I’m here to repay you for your favor.
All is predetermined by heaven.
Why are you pushing me?
You mean...
I never meant to act against heaven’s will.
If you're truly grateful,
don’t impose
your will on me.
I, Zhu Rong, will never collude with demons.
I can help you
get that Daylily Fruit.
I don’t need it.
I offered to follow you,
yet you're determined to kill me.
You're a demon.
Zhu Rong,
can you only tell
whether others are immortals or demons
but can’t recognize a sincere heart?
Fine.
I swear
I’ll make you
accept me one day.
No.
It’s not true.
All these years,
he’s been a holy God.
Yet you
are simply a bird he can’t care less about.
Now that
you've known the whole truth,
will you still sacrifice yourself for him?
Is it worth it?
No...
Marquis...
Marquis didn’t
accept me before
because I was a bird.
But now, I’m Jinyang,
so this time is different.
He married me.
He’s my husband.
He married Jinyang,
not a bird.
No.
Wrong.
Liar!
It’s not like that.
You lied to me.
I’ve waited for years.
Finally,
I can be with him.
I can cry with him,
laugh with him.
He told me
he only wanted to marry me.
You know?
He also said I’m his partner,
his soulmate.
Anyway,
whether I’m Jinyang
or that bird,
he's finally in love with me.
Yes. He loves me.
He loves you?
Yes.
He loves me.
Ling Jun. Please,
turn me back to my original look,
OK?
As long as I look the same as before,
Marquis will take me back
and love me the same.
I’m begging you, Ling Jun.
Ling Jun.
You helped me
more than once.
Please help me one more time.
Please!
This is the last time.
I’m begging you.
Please help me one last time,
OK?
One last time.
Please, Ling Jun.
Hold on.
You have
what Zhu Rong needs.
You think he won’t kill you
for love?
What do you mean?
This spell
can only last for two hours.
After that,
you’ll go back to your original shape.
If you have unfinished business,
better do it now.
Don’t leave any regret.
This is the last thing I can do for you.
Waiting for someone
in loneliness,
you know that feeling, don’t you?
Hongyi.
I need to tell you something.
Although we're surrounded
by uncertainties,
in my heart,
you've never changed.
Red Pine and Mulberry Princess
suffered so much.
I don’t want us
to follow in their footsteps.
I can’t be Red Pine.
Say no more.
If I don’t tell you this now,
I’m afraid
there won’t be another chance.
My love for you
has never changed.
Ruo.
Are you OK?
Brother.
Where are the others?
We were separated.
Oh,
Hongyi and I found the Water Jade.
Hongshuo, she's Li Ruo,
princess of Lang.
Since the moment
father brought her back,
she’s become Baili Hongyi.
That will never change.
We found this.
Sister. Your Water Jade
is finally in my hands.
Follow me.
Let’s go.
Not every wish can come true.
Time is up.
In the end,
I have to reveal
my true self
in front of you.
Marquis.
Will you accept me?
Nine-head’s lost power
is in her body.
You clowns
want to chain me?
While the five Gods battling the demon,
Purple Bird was also there.
When Nine-head dispersed,
Purple Bird also absorbed her power.
If you can gain
Nine-head’s power in her,
you can fulfill your mission.
Is that true?
Brother. What are you doing?
She’s your wife. Are you insane?
Marquis. Must you kill me?
It's for the greater good.
You have
what Zhu Rong needs.
You think he won’t kill you
for love?
You can’t win me.
I’m your wife.
I will never ever
hurt my husband.
But as my husband,
do you care
the slightest bit about our marriage?
You're my wife.
I’ll be buried with you after I die.
Your tombstone will say
Baili Hongxuan's beloved wife.
“Beloved wife”?
Baili Hongxuan.
Have you ever loved me
or Jinyang?
This is between Zhu Rong
and Purple Bird.
We can’t interfere.
I guess as much.
You've never loved me
since the beginning.
Fine.
You’ll get what you want.
Brother!
Don’t do it,
or you’ll regret.
Wealthy
or not,
I’ll be with you forever.
Brother. You...
It’s time
to let go of myself
and you.
Marquis.
May we see each other
never again.
Twin lotus flowers, or two-head lotuses,
refer to two lotuses
growing on one stem.
They also represent...
What?
A happy marriage.
You've acquired
what you need.
You can head to Mount Spirit
to find the Square Matrix.
You knew
Purple Bird would do this,
so you brought her
to Zhu Rong, didn’t you?
She absorbed the most refined power
of Nine-head.
Even if they fought,
you all might not be her match.
Love can be a weakness.
That applies to everyone.
Yes.
Indeed.
Love is a weakness.
Obviously,
your heart
only belonged to her.
I’m nothing but a ghost
trapped under the mulberry.
However powerful I am,
I can’t get out of
this small circle.
Well,
I should leave.
Baili Hongshuo.
Wait.
I just recalled something.
In the desert,
stands a Mount Spirit, also the eye of heaven.
There’s a colorful deer, named Yu.
Is this Mount Spirit?
Right, Baili Hongshuo?
General. Where are the others?
There are no other people.
Wait. I remember it.
Mulberry Spirit
said in the end
that go to Mount Spirit to find the Square Matrix.
What is that?
I suppose
it must be something
more powerful,
such as Princess...
What?
Why is Hongshuo upset?
Is it because...
He's upset
probably because of Marquis and Princess.
Should we say something to comfort him?
Say what?
If...
If I also had power,
would general...
Baili Hongshuo isn’t
that kind of person.
He is different from his brother.
If you don’t believe me,
let's ask him.
Let's go.
Let’s go.
Baili Hongshuo.
I have something to tell you.
Back in Chisong Ravine,
Hou Zhengze...
He...
He what?
He...
I saw Master Ji Qiu.
Master Ji?
Yes. His immortal shape.
Immortal shape?
He’s immortalized
and came back especially to visit us.
When?
In Li City
when he helped us
to escape.
In Chisong Ravine,
he said he worried about you
the most
and kept bringing up your name.
Mr. Ji was eager to take me in
as his disciple.
He was sincere
and protected us on his own.
But looking back,
I did nothing for him.
Master Ji,
you’ll always be my master
and I’ll always be your disciple.
