ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

I'll hang those.

All right.

I'll put them here.

This isn't torn.

Okay, chase.

Take it slow.

-This is dirty.
-All right.

-It was cut last time.
-I'll help you.

-Thank you.
-Not bad.

Hand me that one.

Pull it to that side a bit.

-Hang your fishing net too.
-I'm coming.

All right. Go over there.

Take this.

Don't throw this away.

Tighten it up.

Come on. Let me do it for you.

I saw it.

Remember to be careful.

-Be careful with your hand.
-Yes.

-Look at what I got.
-Carry this.

Don't wear it.

You're a young girl.

Not everyone can wear that.

Why not?

Is there something special about this?

That is Frost Salt Flower.

In our tribe,

only widowed women wear it.

So you are all…

All these years,

those kings are always fighting each other

and all the men went to battle.

Every time an obituary comes,

one more woman wears the flower.

Now,

almost every woman in our tribe
is wearing it.

I'm sorry

for bringing up your sad story.

It's fine.

A few years ago,

I cried day and night too.

But what's the use of crying

if you lost your husband?

You still have to live.

This is for you.

Flowers can be revived,

but not people.

I really hope their families
can come back home too.

Stop running or you'll fall again.

Quick.

Where are you going?

My lord.

My lord.

My lord.

-Greetings, my lord.
-Greetings, my lord.

-Greetings, my lord.
-Greetings, my lord.

-Greetings, my lord.
-Greetings, my lord.

-Greetings, my lord.
-Greetings, my lord.

Why aren't you bowing to me?

I have a few questions for you, my lord.

I will bow to you after I get my answers.

Granny Tie.

If you offend the lord,

our whole tribe will die.

Ask away.

My lord.

Where have you been
in the past 30,000 years?

Cangyan Sea has become a wasteland.

Our people have suffered so much.

When everyone was displaced

and had lost their family,

my lord,

where did you go after deserting us?

Spare us, my lord!

My mother-in-law is old and confused.

She's talking nonsense.

We'll take her back now.

-Spare us.
-We'll drag her out now.

-Please have mercy.
-Please spare us.

Have mercy.

Let her continue.

For so many days and nights,

we waited for your return

to save us from this agony.

But you didn't show up.

Now,

my husband and my son

both died on the b*ttlefield.

Yet you returned.

My lord.

I've seen you a long time ago.

When you were little,

about this height,

your father brought you here to hunt.

You also stayed overnight in our tribe.

My grandson is the same age as you.

He hunted rabbits with you.

Then he joined the army,

went to w*r with you,

and was sealed in the Xuanxu Realm
for 30,000 years.

Now, you're back.

But he's not.

My lord.

Look. She is my daughter-in-law.

My son is gone forever.

But her son can still come back.

I know that offending you

means death.

I'm old.

I've lived long enough.

But even if I die today,

you have to promise me

that you will bring them back

just like the way you took them away.

-Please have mercy, my lord.
-Please have mercy, my lord.

-Please have mercy, my lord.
-Please spare her, my lord.

-Please have mercy, my lord.
-Please spare her, my lord.

Please have mercy, my lord.

-Please have mercy, my lord.
-Please have mercy, my lord.

Why didn't you explain earlier?

You didn't mean to abandon them.

And you're working so hard
for the whole Moon Tribe.

You've never slacked off.

Why?

No reason.

Can't you tell me?

Why should I tell you?

Weren't you the one who said this?

People must have secrets.

But this is different.

Actually, I quite envy you.

The old lady said earlier

that when you were little,

your father would take you hunting
and camping.

I'm just a small plant

with no parents.

I never knew what it's like
to have parents.

The great w*r is coming.

And there's still no way to counter

the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow Formation
of the Fairy Tribe.

Yes.

We're here today to discuss

how to deal with it.

My lord, I have an idea.

Please forgive me, my lord.

Young lord, why are you so insensible?

If you disturb my lord's military affairs,

you will be branded and lose your tongue.

My lord,

please spare the young lord this time.

THE FORMER MOON SUPREME

Come on.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at your facial expressions.

This is the first time

I've seen you with that facial expression.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

What were you saying just now?

I was saying

I envy you.

What's there to envy?

In my opinion,

it's better to be like you,

nurtured by nature with no attachments.

You don't understand, Big Blockhead.

It's really lonely this way.

It's better to have attachments.

I already told you.

Emotional attachments
will only be a burden.

Why are you smiling?

Because you're saying things
you don't mean.

What do you mean?

When I first arrived at Cangyan Sea,

everyone said

that the Moon Supreme's power
is sovereign.

Anyone who offends you for any reason

will die.

But just now,

that old lady reprimanded you that way.

Yet you didn't punish her.

I think

her love and attachment
to her family moved you.

Right?

Nonsense.

Since she's old and dying,

I couldn't bear to punish her.

You couldn't bear it?

That's sympathy and pity
in the seven emotions.

But you've removed all seven emotions.

How can you…

Could it be…

DONGFANG QINGCANG'S SEA OF EMOTIONS

It's really sprouting.

The last time I was here,

it was still a withered tree.

I can't believe it really sprouted.

Look. I told you.

I can cure your Seven Emotions Tree.

Father.

Father!

Father.

You promised to play cuju with me today.

From now on,

you can never touch it again!

Throw away the wooden sword.

Use this to practice
in the training grounds from now on.

Go now!

After returning from Oblivion River,

I have this nightmare every night.

Is the recovery of my seven emotions

really speeding up?

Big Blockhead.

I heard that you didn't sleep well
these days,

so I prepared this just for you.

Smell it. Does it smell good?

This is an orchid.

But this is not any ordinary orchid.

I made it with my primordial spirit.

-I guarantee you'll sleep until dawn.
-Take it away.

But your Seven Emotions Tree
has just recovered.

How dare you mention that to me?

I endured suffering in hell

in order to remove my emotions.

Because of you, my emotions returned.

Isn't my suffering all in vain?

I have to be ruthless

to k*ll people everywhere
and lead the Moon Tribe.

What do you want me to do
with my responsibilities?

I just

don't want to see you suffer.

I never suffered.

This is all because of you.

My suffering only began

when you showed up.

Why did you act on your own and interfere?

Don't let me see your face again.

So this is the legendary
Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.

I got in here so easily.

This is indeed Moon Supreme's
treasure room.

Silk from Yunmeng Lake.

Dragon Pearl from Oblivion River.

Fairy Jade from Shuiyuntian.

I'm rich.

I can't believe
I could live to see this day.

Who's there? Halt!

Don't you know me?

If you don't even know me,

how can you work in the palace?

Do you at least know Fairy Orchid?

Of course.

She's a distinguished guest
in Silent Moon Palace.

She's our lord's favorite.

I'm Fairy Orchid's sworn sister.

-Step aside.
-Cut the crap.

Didn't I already tell you?

I'm tired of these dishes.

Don't serve these again.

My lord, please don't be angry.

The old chef must have forgotten

to tell that to the new chef,

so they accidentally served them.

The chef has changed?

Have you forgotten?

A few days ago,
you ordered to let some people

leave the palace
to reunite with their families.

The old chef was also among them.

You may leave first.

-Yes.
-Yes.

My lord, what worries you lately?

My seven emotions are starting
to come back.

Well…

Kneel.

My lord,

while checking
the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion,

we found a thief.

These are the treasures she stole.

She claims that she is the sworn sister
of Fairy Orchid.

I dare not act rashly,

so I'm reporting it to you, my lord.

It's you again.

I haven't settled the score with you yet
for coaxing Orchid into running away.

Now, you're targeting
the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.

I'm innocent, my lord.

Fairy Orchid was the one
who lent me the Bone Orchid.

I gave it back to her ages ago.

I just arrived today
and didn't know my way around.

I entered the pavilion by accident

and saw some rare things,

so I thought I'd take some
to amuse Fairy Orchid.

My lord.

Are you sure she likes these?

Of course.

Silk and jade and such

can best make a girl happy.

Since she likes them,

give them to her.

Thank you, my lord.

Also,

if she wants anything else from now on,

tell her to just get it.

Yes.

Wait.

Are you crying?

Father asked me to use the iron sword.

It's too heavy to carry.

My hands are wounded.

Carrying an iron sword

means you're all grown up

and you've become
an Iron Blood Warrior of the Moon Tribe.

That's a good thing. Don't cry.

Young lord.

Look at this.

You're a fast learner.

If you won't be the future Moon Supreme,

you'll be a top carpenter in the future.

Really?

But Father said

I can only be
the Moon Supreme in the future.

I have to attack Shuiyuntian

and k*ll many, many people.

Don't you want to be the Moon Supreme?

I do.

I want to revive Cangyan Sea

and lead the Moon Tribe to a good life.

I want to fulfill Father's expectations

and make him proud of me.

That's it.

Whether you're the Moon Supreme

or a carpenter,

you have to be strong.

Do you know who this statue is?

This is the founder of our Moon Tribe,

the first Moon Supreme,

Lady Yan.

She led our ancestors

in crossing Oblivion River

and establishing roots in Cangyan Sea.

And we thrived since then.

Look. She has many scars.

Every one of them is a testimony of glory.

You must be a Moon Supreme like her
in the future

and lead our tribe back to glory.

And this is your first scar.

My lord, please don't be angry.

I will take this thief right away
and interrogate her.

-Let's go.
-There's no need.

k*ll her on the spot.

Please spare me, my lord!

I was negligent.

Punish me if you want.

Are you disobeying my order?

My lord.

Please, Moon Supreme Lord.

Don't k*ll Jieli.

Step aside.

Moon Supreme Lord,

listen to me.

It was my idea to escape last time.

I also asked her to steal

from Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.

It's all my fault.

Don't blame her.

Step aside.

She's my only good friend.

I can't watch her die.

Anyway…

I've already made you unhappy anyway.

You also don't want to see me anymore.

If you want to k*ll someone, then k*ll me!

My lord.

My lord.

My lord.

Lord Xunfeng is shouting in prison.

He said he wants to pay respects
to the former Moon Supreme.

I came to ask you what to do.

Burn the wood sculpture!

-Yes.
-Yes.

Jieli.

Are you all right?

Why…

Why are you looking at me like that?

It was your idea to steal this time.

Don't blame me for getting you in trouble.

I won't admit it.

Orchid.

Although I've lived for thousands of years

and met many people,

you are the number one fool I know

in the three realms.

How dare you pay respects to Father

after doing something so stupid?

I wanted to k*ll you to avenge Father.

I have nothing to be ashamed of.

You want to k*ll me?

It's not a big deal.

I can forgive you.

But you colluded with the Lord of Haishi

and betrayed your people.

You refined evil qi
with their pain and hatred,

making the primordial spirits

of countless tribesmen shatter

and leaving them without peace.

This is unforgivable.

Nonsense.

Legitimacy belongs to the victor.

Just k*ll me since I lost.

Why bother making up all the charges?

You're my brother.

You should know better than anyone

whether I need to make up charges

to k*ll someone.

He never told me

where the evil qi came from.

So you're not the mastermind
behind all this?

Although I hate you a lot,

I am also Father's son.

They are my people too.

Why would I do something
that will hurt my people?

You brought ruin to yourself
and let others manipulate you.

How utterly foolish.

Dongfang Qingcang.

You are one to talk.

Everything started because of you!

If it weren't for revenge,

I wouldn't have been blinded
by that vile man.

Dongfang Qingcang.

Father valued you so much.

He devoted all his life to you.

But you k*lled Father

just to become the Moon Supreme.

Dongfang Qingcang.

Why on earth did you k*ll Father?

He is your father,

not mine.

Relay my order.

After three days,

the traitor Xunfeng

will be ex*cuted by lightning.

This is just what I want.

It's just what I want.

It's exactly what I want!

My lord, should we postpone the execution?

Why?

Because three days later

is the former Moon Supreme's
death anniversary.

There's no need to delay.

Isn't executing him

on his death anniversary a good way
to show their love for each other?

Yes.

Don't you know healing magic?

Why don't you heal yourself?

With my weak power,

it's fine to keep flowers and plants.

But I'm still far from healing people.

This is wound medicine.

It heals wounds quickly once applied.

No. I don't have any money.

I already owe you a lot.

If I get this on credit again,
I really won't be able to pay you back.

It's free.

It's a gift for you.

It's free?

Did the sun rise from the west today?

Jieli, are you all right?

If you won't take it, I'll take it back.

I'll take it.

Thank you.

Let me do it.

My goodness.

Listen.

Don't think that I'll humble myself to you
just because you saved me.

You made me suffer so much before.

We're even at most.

It's done. Be careful.

Thank you, Jieli.

Moon Supreme Lord is so strange.

You stole so many treasures
from him before

and he didn't even blink.

This time, he suddenly got so angry

just because of a tiny wooden sculpture.

I've asked Shangque.

I was unlucky this time

and offended the lord.

Do you know?

That wooden sculpture
was carved by the lord

and the maid who took care of him
when he was little.

But unexpectedly,

the former Moon Supreme
k*lled the maid later.

He k*lled her?

Why?

Who knows?

Then the wooden sculpture went missing.

Who would have known

that someone unawarely stored it
in the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion?

And with some dumb luck, I brought it out.

What are you thinking about now?

By the way,

Shangque said that the lord has been
bad-tempered since he returned

from Oblivion River a few days ago.

You'd better avoid him these days.

Shangque said

that the lord has been bad-tempered
since he came back

from Oblivion River?

Yes.

He said that he would forgive
Lord Xunfeng before.

But just now, he gave orders

to execute Lord Xunfeng by lightning
on the death anniversary

of the former Moon Supreme
three days later.

Have you arranged the public execution

of Xunfeng?

Yes.

Moon Supreme Lord.

I know you don't want to see me now,

but I have a question for you.

I'll leave after that.

I promise I won't bother you.

Let Fairy Orchid in.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Moon Supreme Lord.

Don't be angry

after I ask you.

Ask away.

Did Xunfeng collude
with the Lord of Haishi on purpose?

He was tricked by the Lord of Haishi.

In that case,

Moon Supreme Lord,

can you show mercy and spare his life?

After all, you are family.

His dead father

is his family.

Didn't your father

ever love you?

Never.

How is that possible?

The former Moon Supreme
loved Lord Xunfeng so much.

But why did…

Could there be some misunderstanding?

He indulged and doted on Xunfeng.

But what about me?

No matter what I did,

I couldn't make him smile.

Even when he found out
that I am the gifted talent

who's the only one
that can master Hellfire,

he never smiled at me once.

He even looked at me and said,

"Why you?"

Why did he say that?

Because sooner or later,

the son he hated would replace him.

No.

I don't think that was it.

Do you know
why he removed my seven emotions?

Because tools only need to be sharp

and emotions can only be a burden.

In order to remove all my emotions,

he tortured me again and again.

He even died to achieve his goal.

He told me to k*ll him

in order to destroy
the Seven Emotions Tree.

But he never expected it

to be resurrected now.

Don't you think

that's ridiculous?

Wait.

Why did the former Moon Supreme

say that?

I already told you.

My lord has been very ill-tempered lately.

Why did you still come to him?

Exactly.

Orchid, you've got some nerve.

Do you know that if a child
won't stop crying in Cangyan Sea at night,

just the mention of the lord's name
would make him stop immediately?

He even k*lled his own father.

Don't you want to live anymore?

So…

that's what everyone thinks of him.

Of course not.

During Xunfeng's reign as Moon Supreme,

there was continuous civil unrest
in Cangyan Sea.

But once my lord came back,

he ended the w*r and dispute immediately.

My lord's power and majesty

make him a strong rival

for Shuiyuntian.

But for the Moon Tribe,

it is our hope to protect our peace.

Why did you ask that?

I just think

that Cangyan Sea and Dongfang Qingcang

are different from what the rumors say.

There might be something hidden

behind all those horrible stories
in the past.

However,

the lord k*lled his father in public.

What hidden story can there be?

He told me to k*ll him

in order to destroy
the Seven Emotions Tree.

But it's resurrected now.

He and his father…

No.

There must be a hidden story.

Shangque.

Tell me exactly what happened

when the Moon Supreme k*lled his father.

Don't miss a single detail.
