ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

Qingcang.

You've always used me as a tool
to revive the Moon Tribe!

You made me suffer
the loss of my emotions!

You made me bear the name
of k*lling my own father!

You made me a monster
that everyone avoids!

Have you ever felt heartbroken for me?

Have you ever found it unbearable
to see me suffer?

Qingcang.

You were young, strong,

and talented.

I believed

you could master the Hellfire.

You

were the hope

of the survival of the Moon Tribe.

This again.

I'm sick of it.

Let me ask you now.

If you could turn back time,

would you make a different choice?

Say something!

If I could turn back time,

I would make the same decision.

I knew it.

No matter what,

it's my duty to revive the Moon Tribe.

But you are

a father who is worse than a beast.

That's why you have a son
who is worse than a beast.

My son.

At that time,

I had no choice.

I really had no choice.

You don't have to look so hypocritical!

Aren't you always
fierce, strict, and firm?

Why are you saying this now?

My lord,

Lady Chidi led the immortal army
and attacked us.

We lost the south of Silver Lake.

My lord, the north has fallen.

Eight thousand soldiers were wiped out.

Father,

you promised that you'd play Cuju with me.

After all,

you still treated me
like a sharp blade without emotions.

You used me as a tool
to resist the Fairy Realm.

I couldn't bear to see you suffer.

How dare you say that!

You couldn't bear it?
You're even crueler now!

You should have k*lled me.

Back then, you should have k*lled me!

But what did you do?

You made me suffer so much
that I'd rather die.

I couldn't bear to see you suffer.

That's why I chose for you to k*ll me.

Have you considered my feelings?

I don't have time to listen

to a dying soul now.

Wait.

Former Moon Supreme,

what do you mean by letting him k*ll you?

I read the secret book.

It didn't state
that only by k*lling your loved one

can you completely destroy
the seven emotions.

That's because

emotions are hard to destroy.

Every time they come back to life,

it takes a thousand years
to remove them completely again.

Besides the secret technique…

If you can k*ll your loved one,

your emotions can be completely destroyed

in an instant.

So,

you chose

to let him

k*ll you.

It's worth sacrificing my life.

Qingcang.

Your emotional root has recovered.

That's why you're in so much pain.

Let me ask you.

Are you going to be
the invincible Moon Supreme

and bring the Moon Tribe back to glory?

Or

do you want
all of your previous sufferings

to be in vain?

If you continue to indulge
in your emotions and love,

you will be in pain.

You can't escape from it.

Qingcang.

Pull out your Hellfire sword

and shatter my soul!

Then you can get rid
of your emotional root.

Hurry up!

I can't do it.

You can do it.

Qingcang, have you forgotten?

You did it once before.

You can do it again.

My boy.

If you don't get rid
of your emotional root,

you will be trapped in pain forever.

Do you understand?

Are you willing to bear the pain

of k*lling your own father?

Come!

Recently,

I kept thinking during the day

and dreaming at night.

They were the happy moments of us

practicing sword fighting
and playing Cuju.

So this time,
I have to make my own decision.

I'd rather bear the pain
of k*lling my own father

and bear the pain
caused by emotions and love.

I don't want to forget these feelings.

Come.

Qingcang.

Big Blockhead,

what are you thinking?

Kick it.

Big Blockhead,

if you miss this chance,
you won't have another one.

Kick it.

Father.

How many lightning strikes are left?

My lord, 30 bolts of lightning
were struck just now

for the punishment
of 81 lightning strikes.

There are 51 strikes left.

I'll take

the rest for him.

-My lord.
-My lord, this…

My lord, your body is precious.

How can you take the punishment?

Dongfang Qingcang.

What tricks are you playing?

Execute it.

Do you want me to say it again?

Execute it.

The punishment of 81 lightning strikes
is completed.

-Dongfang Qingcang!
-My lord!

Big Blockhead, are you all right?

Dongfang Qingcang.

Don't think I'll thank you
for your pretentious act.

Even in death,

I will get my revenge for Father.

Lord Xunfeng.

As his brother,

do you really know his pain?

Do you know the truth between them?

You only care about yourself.

You know nothing.

See for yourself.

It has been so long.

Why is he not up yet?

Lightning strikes are strong.

Even the lord can't take it.

Although his life is not in danger,

it will take some time
for him to recuperate.

You're awake.

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere.

Your medicine is almost ready.

I need to keep an eye on the fire.

The medicine…

Moon Supreme?

Moon Supreme?

Are you

willing to bear the pain
of k*lling your own father?

Recently,

I kept thinking during the day

and dreaming at night.

They were the happy moments of us

practicing sword fighting
and playing Cuju.

So this time,
I have to make my own decision.

I'd rather bear the pain
of k*lling my own father

and bear the pain
caused by emotions and love.

I don't want to forget these feelings.

In the past,
when it was my father's death anniversary,

I didn't feel anything.

Now,

when I think that today
is his death anniversary…

When I think that…

I'll never see him again…

If I destroy the Seven Emotions Tree,

would the suffering end?

Would the suffering end?

I don't blame him.

I don't blame him anymore.

Time to take your medicine.

Why do I have to take medicine again?

It's bitter. How can I take it?

How can you recover
without taking medicine?

Because you didn't want to take medicine,

you haven't recovered for days.

The wounds are getting more painful.

I have to hold you for you to walk.

Take it in one go.

You won't taste the bitterness.

If you take it,

I can make
your favorite flower cakes for you.

Assorted flavors with honey.

What do you mean by letting him k*ll you?

I read the secret book.

It didn't state
that only by k*lling your loved one

can you completely destroy
the seven emotions.

If you can k*ll your loved one,

your emotions can be completely destroyed

in an instant.

Once you're done, get up and walk more.

The doctor said

you have to be able to walk freely

for your wounds to be considered better.

No.

It still hurts.

I need your help.

My lord,

Lord Xunfeng wants to see you.

What is he doing here?

Forget it.

Let him in.

Qingcang.

How is your injury?

It's just the punishment
of lightning strikes.

I'm fine after some sleep.

What about you?

What brings you here?

It's…

to tell you the truth about Haishi.



the news of you being k*lled
by the Fairy Realm spread to Cangyan Sea.

The Kings of North and South You
had a mutiny.

They intended to take over Ninth You.

When I was extremely anxious,

a mysterious man came to me.

The Lord of Haishi?

I didn't know who he was

and where he came from.

But he told me,

as long as I can help him build Haishi,

he can help me control
the Kings of North and South You.

He never takes off his mask
and shows his real face.

So at first, I didn't trust him.

But…

But both kings were pressing.

So you accepted any help
that came your way.

You even put the fate of Ninth You

in the hands of an unknown person.

Go on.

Did you see his face after that?

No.

Not asking for his identity

was one of his conditions for helping me.



right at that point.

Was the Lord of Haishi

also involved in the Great w*r?

Since you told me previously

he used the primordial spirit of the dead
of the Moon Tribe to make evil qi,

I recalled what happened
in the past 30,000 years carefully

and noticed something.

Whenever I was close to losing the w*r,

he always helped me to turn the tide.

Every time I had the upper hand,

North and South You
always got away safely.

The Lord of Haishi's planning

is like…

Always letting you fight
against each other

without getting a definite result.

The three kings of Cangyan Sea

engaged in civil unrest

that lasted
for tens of thousands of years,

causing the power
of the Moon Tribe to perish.

I'm so stupid.

I feel guilty towards my people.

I deserve to die.

You shouldn't have pardoned me
the day before yesterday.

I didn't pardon you.

From now on,

you have to win on the b*ttlefield

to correct your mistake.

Yes.

You may leave.

What?

Are there any details missing?

No.

In that case, you may leave now.

Yes.

Big Blockhead,

are you still holding a grudge
against Lord Xunfeng

for wanting to k*ll you?

There are countless people
in the three realms

who want to k*ll me.

He's not even on the list.

It's a trivial matter.

Since he has admitted his mistake,

I don't blame him.

Why do you ask?

Just now,

didn't you see his desire to speak?

He wanted to tell you something,

but he's afraid to bring up the past
and upset you.

Did he really misunderstand?

You finally made up after so long.

I think

next time you see him,

don't always act like
the almighty Moon Supreme

and scold him.

If it was me, I would be scared too.

You need to do something intimate.

This way, he will know

that you've forgiven him.

Something intimate?

You don't want to?

I don't know how.

People only taught me
how to become stronger,

how to k*ll,

and how to conquer the world.

But no one has ever taught me

how to get close to others.

This is very simple.

Let me teach you.

Next time you see him,

don't pull a long face.

You need to smile.

Come on, smile for me.

Can you smile more naturally?

Look.

This is a good angle.

Is this enough?

No.

You are brothers.

Next time you see him,

you need to be more friendly.

How?

Let me think.

I got it.

Next time you see him, you can hug him.

How?

Like this…

Just…

Hug him like this

or pat his shoulder.

Next time you see him,

you'll do it, right?

No.

Why?

It's cheesy.

How is this cheesy?

How is this cheesy?

Hey!

What are you thinking about
that you're smiling so happily?

Jieli.

Have you ever noticed

that sometimes

the Moon Supreme is quite cute?

Cute?

Are you all right?

How can the Moon Supreme be cute?

You didn't see it.

When he was learning
how to smile at people,

he was silly and cute.

He'll do whatever you tell him to do.

He is very serious.

Orchid…

You're really something.

I thought I was a good liar.

You don't usually show it,

but I didn't expect you
to be so good at acting.

First, you risked your life

to find the former Moon Supreme's
primordial spirit.

Then, you boiled medicine
and made pastries for him daily.

Whenever you talk about him,

you smile and glow.

If I hadn't known you were acting,

I would have been like the Moon Supreme

and think
you've betrayed Shuiyuntian for him.

Are you

not acting?

You mean it?

No way.

Of course I was acting.

Good acting, right?

My lord,

Lord Xunfeng wants to see you.

Is what you said true?

The seal that holds 100,000 soldiers

at Xuanxu Realm for 30,000 years

can be broken?

Yes. The next reincarnation of Lady Chidi
who'll be experiencing hardships

is called Xie Wanqing.

When she is born,

I want you to go
to Yunmeng Lake immediately

and take her to Xuanxu Realm.

Place her primordial spirit
into Shuofeng Sword.

It can break the seal

and you can bring back 100,000 soldiers.

I'll set out immediately.

Wait!

What else can I do for you?

You're still injured.

You must be careful.

Yes.

So he didn't hug him.

He was shy.

For him,

it's a massive improvement.

Shangque.

Your lord has feelings now.

He knows forgiveness, kindness, and mercy.

That's great.

What's wrong with you two?

Are you unhappy?

Not really.

He and Lord Xunfeng have made up.

They are working together,
of course I'm happy.

But…

If the lord has really changed
as you said,

is he still the Moon Supreme?

Why not?

Since ancient times, the Fairies
and the Moon Tribe have been enemies.

Our first ancestor
once passed an ancestral teaching.

Only a tough general
who never gives up on hatred

is the key to the survival
of the Moon Tribe.

Why must there be hatred?

Whether it's the Moon Tribe
or the Fairies,

there are good people.

Let's not talk about Shuiyuntian.

Anyway, the lord will destroy
the Fairy Realm

to avenge the Moon Tribe.

I believe he won't give up.

That's because you didn't see how he was
with the former Moon Supreme.

He's different now.

He's no longer
the Dongfang Qingcang we know.

Jieli, what's with that look?

My lord.

My lord.

Are my fresh flower cakes ready?

Have you taken your medicine?

The medicine is too bitter.

But I've finished it.

There's not a drop left.

The fresh flower cakes are almost ready.
I'll get them.

Wait.

What is this?

According to the Moon Tribe's rules,

if you want to thank someone,

you must use your blood

and apply it to that person's face.

Thank you very much.

No, this is your blood.

I guessed you might not like blood,

so I changed it to cinnabar.

Can I not apply it?

No.

This is the first time
I've ever thanked a person.

Don't refuse me.
