ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

Help!

Daqiang,

why are you here?

I was just passing by.

Just passing by?

Didn't I tell you to wait at home?

Who told you to run around?
Don't you know that it's dangerous here?

What if you get caught?

This beast hurt you, right?

What beast?

Do you mean Yingzhao?

Were you the one who subdued it?

Say something.

What are you doing, Daqiang?

Don't hurt him.

Yingzhao, you're hurt.

Let me heal you.

This beast hurt you.

Why won't you let me k*ll him?

He's already in this state.

How can I bear to k*ll him?

You can't bear that?

Isn't that human nature?

Human nature?

Because of this nature,

it made you softhearted, hesitant,
and reckless.

I will remove

this nature of yours completely

so you won't be in danger again.

Do you dare to do that?

Yes, I'm being emotional.

But without emotions,

we will be like…

a tree without leaves,

a flower that never blooms,

a bird without wings.

Anyway,

we'll be disabled.

What do you know?

Being heartless can help you
analyze the pros and cons.

Without love, we won't feel pity.

If you didn't pity them,

you wouldn't have cut yourself

to distract Yingzhao.

And you wouldn't
have placed yourself in danger.

Daqiang,

you're wrong.

If what you said is true

and we only cared about our own safety

and were scattered,

we would've been eaten by Yingzhao
a long time ago.

Because we pity each other

and don't want to see any of us die,

we faced our fears

and worked together

to win time for survival.

So emotions aren't a burden.

It's the reason we survived this time.

Are you spacing out?

Daqiang.

I know

that you've been locked up for too long,

so you're more aggressive.

No matter how dark your past was,

you must believe

that there are still
a lot of good people in this world.

Orchid!

It's Lord Changheng.

You need to go.

Orchid!

Why are you still here?

Don't worry.

Lord Changheng is very powerful.

With him around, I won't be in danger.

-Go.
-Orchid!

Go.

-If he sees you here, he'd think I--
-Orchid!

What?

Think you're colluding
and fornicating with a criminal?

You…

Orchid!

I'm here!

Orchid!

-Greetings--
-Are you all right?

I'm fine.

That's good.

Lord Changheng,

how are Fairy Danyin and the others?

They are all fine.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

How did you escape just now?

My lord,

I don't know why Yingzhao
suddenly went crazy just now.

It kept chasing me.

I was very scared,

so I kept running.

When I reached here,

it suddenly…

It suddenly went back to normal.

This is a serious matter.

You'd better not hide anything.

I…

I've said everything I need to say.

If it's the truth,

why are you being so dodgy?

I…

My lord,

I don't think she wants to hide anything.

She is just in shock.

Is that so?

She only has a few thousand years
of cultivation.

She used herself as bait
to distract Yingzhao.

It's normal for her to be in shock.

My lord,

you look so fierce.

You look just like that crazy Yingzhao.

She's just a weak fairy,

not your prisoner.

Besides,

she just saved your daughter's life.

I was just anxious.

Please forgive me.

Thank you for saving my daughter.

I once read about it
in ancient forbidden books.

It can capture people's souls,
control their minds,

and stimulate their anger to k*ll.

It must be

caused by the evil qi.

Only the Moon Tribe and immortal criminals

would rear such an evil creature.

Why is it in Shuiyuntian?

-Evil qi?
-Did I miss any immortal criminal escapees

from Haotian Tower a few days ago?

Your name is Orchid?

Greetings, Lord Ronghao.

You must be Arbiter's disciple.

But my master has been traveling
for a long time.

Maybe for almost a thousand years.

Do you miss her a lot?

I miss her every day.

My master has been away
for a long time too.

I miss her too.

When will your master return?

I don't know.

However,

I think she'll be back soon.

Refining evil qi requires
a lot of primordial spirits of the dead.

Also, the Soul Transformation Cauldron
needed for that

was already lost during ancient times.

Evil qi has vanished for hundreds
of thousands of years in the three realms.

Why did it suddenly appear in Shuiyuntian?

Why did it suddenly

possess Yingzhao?

Don't worry, Lord Changheng.

I've ordered men to seal
the Spirit Lock Gate.

No matter who brought the evil qi,

they can't escape from Yujing.

You sealed the Spirit Lock Gate?

What about me?

I'm meeting someone for drinks

at Yunmeng Lake.

You have to prioritize matters.

As for drinking and entertainment,

you should plan them for later,
Lord Ronghao.

Did Master reply to my letter?

Fairy Orchid,

you're the first candidate
to subdue the monster today.

Your performance is excellent.

You ranked first in the exam.

Congratulations.

First place?

I ranked first in the exam.

I can enter Fountain Palace now!

I already captured the immortal criminal
escapees from Haotian Tower

a few days ago.

Could I have missed someone?

What should I do?

I hid Daqiang

and lied to Lord Changheng.

Was today's incident

really Daqiang's doing?

LIUFANG PAVILION, HAISHI

You couldn't even k*ll a little fairy.

You even left the evil qi at the scene
and it was found.

Do you think

I should have k*lled you back then?

Please forgive me. I deserve to die.

But…

the mysterious man
who made a fuss in Haishi a few days ago

suddenly appeared.

I…

I couldn't win against him.

So this time,

have you figured out who he is?

Hellfire?

I asked you to keep an eye on her

and you let her place herself in danger.

How should you be punished?

I was negligent.

I almost delayed your plan.

Please punish me.

Fortunately, she is safe.

Remember.

From now on, if I'm not around,

you are not allowed to leave her side.

If she gets hurt,

I will remove all of your dragon scales

and remove your dragon tendons.

Yes.

Rise.

When I saved Orchid from Haishi that day,

I sensed the evil qi.

Today, Yingzhao also went crazy
due to the evil qi.

Evil qi is an ancient residue.

Getting it requires intense cultivation.

This can't be a coincidence.

My lord,

do you mean

Yingzhao went crazy today

because of Haishi?

They tried everything to get to Orchid.

Maybe it's because Orchid knows

the secret of Lady Chidi's Destiny Book.

They want to k*ll her
during the immortal examination.

How much do you know about Haishi?

My lord, please forgive me.

I know very little about Haishi.

I only know that Haishi was formed
after the Battle of Two Tribes.

And the Lord of Haishi

is highly powerful and unpredictable.

He never shows his real face.

Thirty thousand years ago…

In that case,

Haishi was formed

when Lady Chidi
was experiencing tribulations.

Lady Chidi's Destiny Book
is also hidden in Haishi.

Could it be

that the Lord of Haishi

is the keeper
of the primordial spirit of Lady Chidi?

Dongfang Qiang, come out.
I want to talk to you.

Daqiang, let me ask you.

Why were you in Shuyu Forest today?

I said I was just passing by.

Although my power is weak,

I'm not stupid.

Tell me honestly.

Was that evil qi your doing?

How ridiculous.

If I really wanted to hurt someone,

I don't need these dirty tricks.

Stop quibbling.

Lord Changheng said

the evil qi is ferocious.

No one will use it except
for the Moon Tribe and immortal criminals.

Is what Changheng said

all true?

Today, in Shuyu Forest,

other than the fairies
who participated in the exam,

only Lord Changheng,

Supreme Liyuan,

Lord Ronghao,
and Aunt Sansheng were there.

If you didn't do it,

did they?

I told you it wasn't me.

And you'd better be glad
that it wasn't me.

If I wanted to k*ll,

no one in Shuyu Forest
would've gotten out alive.

Including your Changheng.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

I've been softhearted towards you.

I didn't report you to Lord Changheng.

Today, Danyin and the others
almost died because of Yingzhao.

If anything were to happen to them today,

I am to blame.

I don't care what your motive is.

Come and turn yourself in
to Lord Changheng.

Let's go!

My lord,

are you really

going to turn yourself in?

I don't want to turn myself in too.

But my body…

You must go even if you don't want to.
There's no room for discussion.

My lord,

I know all the people combined
at Shuiyuntian are no match for you.

But now,

we haven't achieved our plan yet.

We should not alert them.

Then you should figure out a way!

There's no other way!

Turning yourself in is the only way.

My lord, only you can explain
and ask her to withdraw her order.

How ridiculous.

I never explain.

What else can you explain?

All the clues are pointing to you.

My lord, if you don't compromise,
you'll ruin the plan.

Little Flower Spirit.

What?

Don't you want to know
why I went to Shuyu Forest?

I will

explain it to you.

-Go ahead.
-I wanted to help you pass the exam.

Help me pass the exam?

Which fairy would like to enter
the Shuyu Forest first?

Help!

Daqiang,

why are you here?

I was just passing by.

So you were the one helping me.

I already told you

that I'd only protect you.

I won't hurt you.

Yingzhao almost k*lled you today.

If you die,

I'll die too.

So how could I have done it?

Is my life

that important to you?

It's as important as my own life.

Daqiang,

I'm sorry.

I think I misunderstood you.

Then don't turn yourself in.

If they think that you caused this,

they'll definitely take you back
to Haotian Tower.

Then you can never come back.

What now?

Didn't I explain it clearly?

Why are you still upset?

I thought my power really improved.

But in the end,

I rejoiced too soon.

I'll explain to Aunt Sansheng tomorrow

and cancel my result
of winning first place.

Why?

Thank you, Daqiang.

Although my power is weak,

I still have my values.

Cheating is cheating.

But if I tell everyone that you helped me,

will you be taken back
to Haotian Tower again?

Haven't you always wanted me
to go back to Haotian Tower?

I do.

But after going through
so many things together,

I don't seem to want it as much.

Forget it.

You wouldn't understand.

Anyway,

don't be so nice to me anymore.

Why?

It's like

you've always been taking medicine.

Because you're used to it,

you never think it's bitter.

But one day,

someone gave you candy

while you were taking your medicine.

Because you've tasted
the sweetness of the candy,

the same medicine

that you've taken before

will now be too bitter to swallow.

In the past,

when my master was not around,

I've been guarding the Arbiter Hall alone.

I never felt lonely.

Then you suddenly came.

You accompanied me all day

and let me get some sun.

You cooked porridge for me

and helped me with the exam.

I'm afraid I'll get used to it.

After you leave,

I'll be alone again.

I'm like the person
who has tasted the candy.

I don't want to taste bitterness anymore.

What nonsense is this little flower spirit

saying?

Why can't I understand?

How strange.

I can see you every day,

but why does it seem like I can't remember
your face more and more?

Hao.

You're being childish again.

I've already lit the candles for you.

This way,

you won't be afraid
of having nightmares anymore.

You're the God of w*r of the three realms.

No one can defeat you.

What have I done

to let this hand

that wields the Shuofeng Sword

light candles for me?

I'm useless.

I'm not gentle like the former God of w*r.

Please spare my life.

How dare you kneel

with her face on?

She won't make that look on your face.

Stop crying.

People suffer from seven emotions.

Joy, worry,

sadness, pity, love,

hate, jealousy.

These will be the stumbling blocks
when you make decisions.

Cut off emotions.

Don't love.

Without weakness,

you won't be softhearted.

Then you'll become the strongest
in the three realms.

Because we pity each other

and don't want to see any of us die,

we faced our fears

and worked together

to win time for survival.

So emotions aren't a burden.

It's the reason we survived this time.

Didn't you want to pass the exam?

Why do you want to cancel the result now?

Wouldn't everything be in vain then?

I'm weak.

But I never cheat.

I won't accept

a result that isn't mine.

A firefly?

You've already scared the fireflies away.

The Magical Firefly Stone

is just an ordinary stone.

Here you are.

Have you been eating my flowers?

Why do you keep eating the same one?

Why don't you change to another plant?

Try this.

It tastes better and sweeter.

I found the firefly.

I can return them together
to Lord Changheng.

Everything will return
to its original place.

I can also rest assured.

It's him indeed.

Didn't Dongfang Qingcang die


Shuiyuntian just said that

to stabilize the three realms.

Dongfang Qingcang's body
can't be destroyed.

His primordial spirit doesn't reincarnate.

He is the real immortal.

Back then,

Lord Yunzhong

gathered the power of the immortals

to just scatter his primordial spirit

and seal him in this Haotian Tower.

Could it be that day

when we reinforced the Haotian Matrix

and a little fairy
was sucked into the tower?

Could it be that the little fairy
broke the seal

and gathered
Dongfang Qingcang's primordial spirit?

In the three realms,

besides the Goddess of Xishan,

who else can restore souls?

Yesterday, in Shuyu Forest,

how did that little fairy

subdue Yingzhao?

Tell me in detail.

Don't miss out on anything.

Yes.

Aunt Sansheng,

someone actually helped me
with my immortal examination this time…

No.

I can't say it's Daqiang.

A coincidence.

I'll say my result this time

is just a coincidence.

Stop.

What's the matter?

Are you a big deal now
after ranking first?

No.

Fairy Danyin,

I'm going to see Aunt Sansheng

to cancel my exam result.

What?

Don't be angry.

I know I don't deserve it.

You don't deserve it?

Is the person who saved me

undeserving of the first place?

If you mention canceling the result again,

I'll turn you back
into your original form.

Orchid,

thank you.

Yes, if it weren't for you,

we would have been dead yesterday.

She just got lucky.

Forget it.

You're quite capable.

Much better
than some illiterate young lady.

-You…
-What?

From now on,
I'm a member of the Fountain Palace.

Fairy Danyin,

no matter how noble you are,

if you do anything to me,

what will Lord Changheng

think of you?

She's such a bully.

Thank you, Fairy Danyin.

For what?

I distinguish
between favor and hatred clearly.

Since you saved my life,

I won't bother you anymore.

But remember,

I still hate you.

Why?

No reason.

Lord Changheng.

You won first place brilliantly.

Instead of celebrating, why are you here?

Actually,

I want to ask Aunt Sansheng

to cancel my exam result.

Why?

My power is weak.

I got this honor

merely because I was lucky.

Orchid.

After the Yingzhao incident,

your bravery, wisdom,

kindness, and goodwill

were seen by everyone.

So you deserve the honor
of winning first place.

Besides,

I'm a judge.

I decide your result.

Thank you, Lord Changheng.

I will continue to work hard.

Wait.

Lord Changheng.

I already found your Firefly Stone.

I'll return it to you.

Well…

Hold it again.

No.

I'm clumsy.

What if I break your--

What's going on?

Did you feed it?

I used plants
to lure it into the Firefly Stone.

I see.

You are the first person who fed it.

It acknowledges you as its master.

Master?

What stupid method did I use?

Lord Changheng.

How about this?

You can feed it some precious plants.

Maybe it will look down on my weeds.

Since the firefly sees you as its master,

then this Firefly Stone is yours.

No, I can't.

How can I take your stone?

Fireflies have spirits.

I dare not force it to stay with me.

As Arbiter's disciple,

you should know that we can't force fate.

So

you're following the will of heaven,

not stealing what others love.

Aren't you Fairy Orchid,
who won first place

in the immortal examination?

Greetings, Lord Ronghao.

I don't need too much courtesy.

We'll have many chances to meet

once you enter Fountain Palace.

By the way,

I have a problem now.

I wonder

if you'd be willing to help me.

My power is weak.

If you think it's troublesome,

how can I be of help to you?

You can definitely help me.

Is this

Ice Jade?

Ice Jade has strong vitality.

With enough spiritual energy,

it'll grow with the wind.

Why would it wither?

I heard that plant spirits

have healing abilities.

Please have a look. Can it be saved?

The root is damaged.

Its spiritual energy is drained.

I'm afraid…

I'll try.

It's alive.

I knew I came to the right person.

You flatter me, my lord.

I have to go back to Arbiter Hall to work.

I'll get going then.

My lord, what is this?

In this world,

only one person

can purify evil qi.

She purified evil qi

and brought it back to life.

You are indeed…

the Goddess of Xishan.

Master.

Since you died in battle,

there's nothing left for me to desire

in the three realms.

I suffer every day.

I'm only left with endless pain.

But what I suffered

is nothing compared to yours.

In the past 30,000 years,

do you

blame me for my incompetence too?

Master, don't be afraid.

Even if I have to turn the world
upside down,

even if it means k*lling everything
in the three realms,

I will find a way

to save you.

Master.

You know what?

We'll meet very soon.
