[bunniefuu]

ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

You look like

a girl from the Moon Tribe.

No one can tell
that you're a fairy from Shuiyuntian.

What are you thanking me for?

Thank you

for changing me.

I'm like a different person now.

In the past,

no matter how many people I k*lled

or who I k*lled,

even if they were my father and brother,

I felt nothing at all.

Although I'm alive,

I was like a walking corpse.

But now,

I'm completely different.

I knew it.

You've changed.

Of course.

I used to be muddleheaded.

But now,

I understand my father's love for me

and the sufferings of our people.

I also understand

your kindness to me

and your pain
for not being able to go home.

So

I've decided

to destroy Shuiyuntian

and k*ll those scumbags
like Lord Yunzhong.

I want to k*ll everyone
who has insulted you,

take your home,

and give it to you.

By then, you can go back to Shuiyuntian

and return to the real Arbiter Hall.

You can even get some sun
at Yunzhong Water Pavilion daily

and watch the sunrise.

Whatever you want…

I'm not feeling well.

I'll go back and get some rest.

Did you catch a cold
due to the coldness of the Oblivion River?

I'm just tired.

I'd like to rest for a while.

You stayed up late every day
to decoct medicine for me.

Of course you're tired.

What are you doing?

I want to stay with you

and take care of you.

There's no need.

I want to rest alone.

Have a good rest.

Why did this happen?

I thought everything would be different

when his root of emotion recovers.

But…

Orchid,

you're too full of yourself.

How can you think

that the Moon Supreme
will change because of you?

My lord,

I'm guilty.

What did you do wrong?

Today is the deadline
for finding the Chengying Sword fragments.

But I haven't found the last fragment.

Please punish me.

I won't punish you.

Thank you for your generosity.

Anything else?

Since I worked for you,

I have spared no effort

in doing everything you ordered

and have never slacked off.

But in finding
the Chengying Sword fragments,

I actually…

-Actually…
-What?

Actually, I didn't do my best.

Because if I find all the fragments

and rebuild the Chengying Sword,

you will k*ll Fairy Orchid immediately.

Whenever I thought about this,
I felt very sad.

So I slacked off.

Please punish me.

Since you can't find it,

maybe the last fragment

has long been destroyed.

I don't think this sword can be forged.

Don't look for it anymore.

Work on other matters.

Yes.

What about the fragments I found?

Throw them all away.

Yes.

Lord Xunfeng.

Wait.

What are these?

Are these the fragments

of the ancient Chengying Sword?

You have a good eye, Lord Xunfeng.

However,

the last fragment is still missing.

I can't rebuild it.

My lord asked me to throw them away.

Throw them away?

Isn't it a pity to throw them away?

Since my brother doesn't want them,

why don't you give them to me?

Maybe I can find

the last piece.

What's the matter?

You can't even give me
what my brother doesn't want?

Do you have any respect for me?

Yes.

But my lord said

the last fragment

might have already been pulverized.

We can't complete them anymore.

I don't think
you should waste your time on it.

HAOTIAN TOWER, SHUIYUNTIAN

I thought the person my brother would send

was Supreme Liyuan.

I didn't expect it to be you.

No.

I really miss you.

I was worried that you would suffer
in Haotian Tower.

That's why

I begged Lord Yunzhong
to let me visit you.

Save your breath.

Go back and tell him

that my love for Orchid

will never change.

Since she willingly colluded
with the Moon Tribe,

why do you still care so much about her?

Dongfang Qingcang deceived her.

It's my fault.

I was too cowardly.

I didn't dare to approach her

and protect her.

I made her

feel disappointed with Shuiyuntian and me.

Lord Changheng.

Although your wounds have recovered,

your Immortal Pond hasn't.

You can't stay in the tower anymore.

I can tell

that Lord Yunzhong
doesn't really want to imprison you.

He allowed me to enter the tower

because there's still a way out of this.

As long as you apologize to him,

you can surely get out.

Apologize?

What mistake did I make?

Is loving someone

and wanting to protect her

a mistake?

If so,

I'd rather keep making mistakes.

Lord Changheng,

don't be sad.

She

will come back to you.

I saw you getting married

to Orchid in the Tianji Mirror.

Really?

The Tianji Mirror is a destiny tool.

The prophecy it makes

will definitely come true.

But I'm engaged to the Goddess.

How can I marry Orchid?

It's in Yunmeng Lake.

What I saw

is that you became a mortal

and married Orchid.

Danyin.

I'm begging you.

Since you can enter the tower,

you can help me get out, right?

Please help me.

What are you going to do?

Jump into Shenshui Hall

for tribulations in the Mortal World.

Lord Changheng,

are you crazy?

Tribulations are unpredictable.

If you can't deal with them,

your soul may dissipate

and you can't ever return to Shuiyuntian.

Danyin.

This is my only chance.

Please help me.

I don't understand.

You don't understand my feeling

because you've never loved someone
as I do.

Danyin.

I'm begging you.

Please help me.

SHENSHUI HALL, SHUIYUNTIAN

Danyin.

Thank you.

If we can meet in our next lives,

I'll surely repay you with my life.

You said

I don't know how it feels to love someone.

You're wrong.

I know it.

I know it better than anyone.

I have no parents.

Why do I keep having these dreams lately?

It turns out to be an old friend.

I read that

you know all living creatures
in this world.

You are special.

Me?

Who exactly am I?

Who am I?

How strange.

Why do I feel cold today?

My lord,

you are possessed by Hellfire.

Why would you feel cold?

Orchid, stop.

Let's go.

It's not time yet.

If I leave now,

the coldness I endured all morning

would be in vain.

What do you want?

Do you want to freeze yourself to death?

I want to know my true form.

I must find out

what I am.

How can you know your true form
by just freezing yourself for a few hours?

Miss, I'm begging you.

If anything happens to you,

the Moon Supreme will k*ll me.

I've thought about it.

I'm neither an orchid

nor someone from the Moon Tribe.

Maybe…

Maybe I'm a Rhodiola rosea
from the Northernmost Ocean glacier

that Lord Changheng just recovered, but…

But not added
to the eight-immortal system yet.

What are you talking about?

Stop messing around.

Look at you.
Your face is blue from the cold.

It's so cold.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Don't do this even if you want to die.

I'm not a Rhodiola rosea either.

Then what am I?

You are a Xishan orchid.

Didn't I tell you before?

I took care of you according to the book.

It worked.

That means you are an orchid plant.

But…

But the Great Turtle
didn't know my true form.

Maybe there was a mistake.

The Great Turtle never makes mistakes.

I've seen my true form.

It's weird.

My leaves,

my stems…

I don't know what I am either.

At first,

I thought I was just an ordinary plant.

But now…

Moon Supreme Lord,

can you tell me

what am I?

I don't care what you are.

I only know you're not a plant
no one cares about.

You are the most important person

that I care about the most

in the three realms.

No one can take you from me.

From now on,

you must stay with me

and be with me forever.

No.

You're the Moon Supreme.

You want to destroy the Fairy Realm

and k*ll everyone in Shuiyuntian.

They treat you as a traitor,

but you still treat them as your people.

As long as I know
that I'm not a traitor, that's enough.

Even if I die,

I won't betray Shuiyuntian.

Are you going to betray me?

What do you want?

Tell me.

What do you want?

We belong to different tribes.

How can you talk about betrayal?

You are the high-ranking Moon Supreme.

And I

am just a plant
who doesn't even know who she is.

How can we talk about ties

of comradeship between us?

Please stop wasting time on me anymore,
Moon Supreme Lord.

I don't deserve this honor.

You said there are no ties
of comradeship between us.

Then why do you always stay by my side

and do so many things for me?

You revived my seven emotions

and let me feel emotions.

Why are you doing this now?

I'm sorry.

What is the reason for this?

You're the leader of the Moon Tribe.

You're carrying the mission
of the Moon Tribe.

I'm the same.

Shuiyuntian is my home.

I just want to return your home to you.

And you just said

that you might not be a fairy.

But the people I care about

are all there

aside from you.

Let me ask you.

When you go to the Spirit Lock Gate

and Changheng stops you,

what will you do?

I'll k*ll him.

What will you do

if my master stops you?

Since she's your master,

if she's willing to surrender,

I will spare her life.

What if she refuses to surrender

and insists on defending Shuiyuntian
even if she dies?

Can you really not give up the Fairy Tribe

for me?

Can you give up the hatred of Moon Tribe

and your promise to your father
and your people?

ANCIENT b*ttlefield, XUANXU REALM

Moon Supreme.

I've confirmed the Hellfire wound
on her body.

She's indeed the reincarnation
of Lady Chidi.

After today,

we'll be able to take revenge.

Moon Supreme.

I knew it.

You've changed.

Why are you hesitating?

Stop.

Why…

Why did this happen?

Why didn't the primordial spirit vanish

after being taken out?

Regardless if you're an immortal
or a mortal,

you have a one-leaf Destiny Book.

Your destiny is written
in the Destiny Books.

I used to sit there every day
to fix Destiny Books.

But it's not this place.

These are all fake.

The actual fate tree is in Shuiyuntian.

I know. Don't change the subject.

Tell me about immortals
experiencing tribulations.

When immortals
experience tribulations as mortals,

there are different fates in each life.

They must follow the fate poem

in the Destiny Book

and let what is fated happen.

Then the tribulation
can be considered a success.

It's so complicated.

It's not.

Let me give you an example.

Destiny Books
are like the novels of Yunmeng Lake.

The fate poem is the story in the novels.

In a novel, it records

when a mortal was born,

when he will be a number one scholar,

and when he'll marry and have children.

Although the fate poem

is not as detailed
as the stories in the novel,

it still shows
the major events in one's life.

Hence,

if a person is written to be

a number one scholar

and a high-ranking officer on a day,

but there was an accident
on his way to the exam,

causing him to miss it
and not become the number one scholar,

this will be considered
a failed tribulation?

Yes.

So what if one fails?

It will damage his cultivation at least,

or his soul will dissipate.

A high immortal
with more powerful cultivation

will face more dangerous tribulations.

That means

if a high god
goes to experience tribulations

but he dies when he's still a baby,

his primordial spirit will dissipate?

Yes.

So unless there is a reason
why they must go,

generally speaking, high gods won't go
to experience tribulations.

Jieli,

when did you start being interested
in these things?

I remember you never listened when I
complained about how troublesome it is

to fix Destiny Books.

By the way,
that room hasn't been cleaned yet.

Go and clean it.

I just did.

Then clean it again.

Hurry. Go.

Hurry up.

Clean it well.

All right.

Greetings, my lord.

I understand now.

My lord,

I've already asked everything

you wanted to know.

My lord, from now on,

can you stop thinking about k*lling me?

"Half a lifetime of glory,
half a lifetime of dust.

A magnificent dance stunned
the whole Lucheng.

Her beauty is just like the willow's.

She hears the flute
on the night of Lantern Festival."

"She is heartbroken
and wants to end her life.

Then she meets her beloved
who understands her well.

They are destined to be together.

Her husband kills her
on the wedding night."

If the poem is correct,

we'll have to wait until the wedding day,

when she is k*lled by her husband,

to get her primordial spirit.

Is the fairy

lying to us

to buy some time?

I asked Jieli to ask around

to prevent her from being suspicious.

Since she knew nothing,

she wouldn't lie on purpose.

Besides,

her primordial spirit almost dissipated.

That matches her words.

It can't be fake.

Moon Supreme.

I still have a question.

You kept that fairy

to repair the Destiny Book before.

Since the Destiny Book is fixed,

why wouldn't you k*ll her?

I can't k*ll her.

Why?

I have my reasons.

Send the baby to Lucheng immediately.

Don't delay her
from experiencing tribulations.

Yes.

Jieli only does things
that are beneficial to her.

Why did she ask about experiencing
tribulations for no reason?

If it wasn't Jieli who's curious about it,

someone else must have asked her to do so.

Who can order Jieli to work for him?

Experiencing tribulations?

Right,

the Destiny Book.

It's Dongfang Qingcang.

Jieli asked about the high gods.

Could it be that the mortal
named Xie Wanqing

is a high god
who is experiencing tribulations?

However,

there are only
a few high gods in Shuiyuntian.

How would I not know
if a high god was sent

to experience tribulations?

Master never told me about that too.

And why was the Destiny Book

hidden in Haishi?

"Half a lifetime of glory,
half a lifetime of dust.

A magnificent dance stunned
the whole Lucheng.

Her beauty is just like the willow's.

She hears the flute
on the night of Lantern Festival.

She is heartbroken
and wants to end her life.

Then she meets her beloved
who understands her well.

They are destined to be together.

Her husband kills her
on the wedding night."

She died by her bridegroom's sword
on their wedding night.

No.

In every lifetime,

she'll be k*lled by the one she loves.

What a tragic fate.

Hide well.

Xie Wanqing.

Who exactly are you?

Why do I seem to have seen you before?

Who am I then?

Xie Wanqing.

If she is really a high god
experiencing tribulations,

and Dongfang Qingcang cares so much
about her Destiny Book,

then he must want to find her
through the fate poem.

He also asked Jieli to ask me
about the primordial spirit.

Is he going to take the primordial spirit
of this high god?

Orchid.

What are you doing?

Jieli, didn't you go to play chess
with Shangque?

Why are you back?

He went to Yunmeng Lake
with the Moon Supreme for some relaxation.

They won't be back until tonight.

I'm so bored.

The time in the Moon and Fairy Realm
differs from the Mortal World.

If he leaves for a few hours,

wouldn't he be in the Mortal World
for a few months?

Yunmeng Lake?

Yes.

I think

you made him angry,

so he wants to avoid you.

Besides,
Lucheng is bustling with activity.

It's more fun than the Silent Moon Palace.

Lucheng?

"A magnificent dance stunned
the whole Lucheng."

It's where Xie Wanqing
will experience her tribulations.

Jieli.

Which year and month
is Yunmeng Lake in now?

It should be the first month
of the Yisi Year.

Why?

Lucheng.

The Lantern Festival.

"The night of the Lantern Festival."

"Meeting her beloved."

That's right.

Xie Wanqing will meet the one
destined for her

at the Lantern Festival.

His target must be Xie Wanqing.

What is he going to do?

Hey. What are you thinking about?

Jieli, pack up.

We're going to Lucheng too.

Really?

Are we really going to Lucheng?

Hey.

LUCHENG, YUNMENG LAKE

Jieli.

Let's go.

I haven't been here for a while.
There are more new things in Yunmeng Lake.

What? Let me have a look.

Stop looking at it.

They are gone.

-Hurry.
-I still want to…

Who allowed you to come?

Didn't I tell you

that you can't go out without my order?

Since I am the mighty Moon Supreme Lord,

why didn't you obey my order?

Go back.

Shangque.

Take them back
to Silent Moon Palace immediately.

Yes.

She wants to accompany you here, my lord.

Orchid kept sighing

in the garden earlier.

She said

that she shouldn't have made you angry
a few days ago.

She felt guilty.

And seeing you being upset,

she was very worried,

so she wanted to accompany you here.

Yes.

My lord.

Since Fairy Orchid cares about you,

why don't we let her come with us?

My lord,

can I walk around?

Me too. I want to do that too.

No.

Don't…

I'll go ahead.

Here, take care.

Thank you, sir.

Sugar figures.

Come and see the sugar figures.

Sugar figures.

Come and see the sugar figures.

Check out the sugar figures.

Sir.

-How many spirit stones does this cost?
-What?

How many spirit stones does this cost?

Are these enough?

He looks handsome and talented,

but I didn't expect him to be a fool.

He's buying sugar figures with jewelry.

Your spirit stones are too small.

They're not enough.

These sugar figures are made
from ancestral craftsmanship.

I'm the 18th generation.

You can't find this anywhere else
in Lucheng.

Are these enough now?

Yes.

How dare you cheat people in front of me?

He wanted

to buy these himself.

A sugar figure

only costs three to five cents.

Give them back.

I don't give refunds.

Come here.

Come over here.

Please be the judge for me.

This scammer
pretended to sell sugar figures

and cheated over ten gems from my brother.

Look.

You may be unable to tell
that my brother is stupid.

-What happened?
-It's still like this?

That's not business.

He has had a brain disease
since childhood.

How could this happen?

-It's bullying.
-How can he do business like that?

Tell me.

Isn't he bullying him?

-Yes.
-It's bullying.

Please be the judge for me.

-How can he do business like that?
-Yes.

-Bully.
-Yes.

-Right.
-He's so bad.

You're bullying a sick person.

You're heartless.

Give me back the gems.

Here you go.

Just my luck.

Wait.

You tricked us. How can you leave now?

What else do you want?

Compensate my brother for scaring him.

Give me two sugar figures.

-Give them to her.
-That's right.

-Give them to her.
-That's right.

-Compensate them.
-Hurry.

-He's not giving them?
-Goodness.

-How deceitful.
-Yes.

-How clever.
-Goodness.

-I won't buy it anymore.
-It's easy to see girls being bullied.

You may go now.

Thank you, everyone.

It's fine. Let's go.

You're good.

Of course.

He wanted to trick me?

He's playing tricks in front of a master.

Stupid Black Dragon,

you used to be imposing
in Silent Moon Palace.

Why didn't you use your brain this time?

How is this stupid sugar figure

worth so many spirit stones?

The sugar figure is interesting.

And I've never seen it in Cangyan Sea.

I remember you like sweets,

so I just wanted to buy it for you.

Forget it.

Since you're so thoughtful,

from now on,
I'm the only one who can deceive you.

If anyone else dares to deceive you,

I won't let him off the hook.

Where are Shangque and Jieli?

After seeing interesting things
in Mortal World,

he even left his post without permission.

I must punish him.

Moon Supreme Lord.

Thank you.

I made you angry.

But you didn't blame me

and still allowed me
to accompany you here.

There's no need to thank me.

Since you said

that we have no ties of comradeship,

I have nothing to blame you for.

Having you here

means having one more person to serve me.

Since you and I are not friends,

don't say these empty words anymore.

I don't like to hear them.

All right.

Can you say anything else besides that?

I'm afraid that if I say too much,

I will make you angry.

Yes.

It's good to talk less.

I told you it's right to take me with you.

Otherwise, when your dragon scales
are stripped to make clothes

and your dragon tendons are taken
to make belts,

you'd even help them count money.

Why are you laughing? Let me ask you.

Do you recognize copper coins?

Do you know how many you can get
with a silver ingot

and what you can buy?

Since we are in Yunmeng Lake,

we have to go by the rules here.

We should follow the rules of mortals.

Do not attract attention.

I am the rule.

No.

My master said

that Yunmeng Lake has its own destiny.

Neither the Moon Tribe nor the Fairy Realm

is allowed to interfere.

If we act impulsively

and disturb the fate of mortals,

their primordial spirits might dissipate.

In that case,

if we affect Lady Chidi
in experiencing tribulations,

it will be troublesome.

Jieli.

This is your fault.

Yes.

Moon Supreme is born with great talents

and amazing power.

Who doesn't respect him?

Being an ordinary mortal

is too hard on him.

Yes.

I overstepped my boundaries.

Hard?

Is being a mortal
harder than subduing ancient monsters

and ruling three armies?

Even if I become a mortal,

I can be the best one.

Jieli.

Yes.

Go on.

What should a mortal do?

Well, the most important thing

in being a mortal

is that you can't use your power freely.

And you can't be seen by others using it.

What else?

Also,

you have to change your title

to avoid suspicion.

You will no longer be Moon Supreme here.

Well…

Well…

The leader of Yunmeng Lake

is the emperor.

Then I am the emperor.

You may not know this,

but there can only

be one emperor.

This is simple.

I'll k*ll him.

No!

We can't change anything

in the Mortal World.

The mortals' spirits will dissipate.

Then tell me.

Who should I be?

With your bearing,

you must be rich or noble.

Of course a normal status
is not suitable for you.

In my opinion,

you should be

a rich businessman from Jinling,

Mr. Dongfang.

You're a genius in business
and you're super rich.

That means you're more powerful
than the emperor.

Even the shoulder pole used
by your servant is made of pure gold.

Recently, you brought your family
to settle in Lucheng.

What do you think, my lord?

And Orchid,

you can't be a fairy of Shuiyuntian.

You are the gardening maid

in Mr. Dongfang's mansion.

As for me,

I'm just the accounting maid

who is in charge of the money.

I'm not a fairy

and he's not the Moon Supreme?

It would be good if that's true.

Shangque is still a guard
in Mr. Dongfang's mansion.

What do you think?

It's complete then.

Everyone,

let's get into the role.

Mister…

Mr. Dongfang.

That's right.

By the way,
since you're a rich businessman,

we have another important thing to do,

which is to buy

a big, grand house in Lucheng.

DONGFANG MANSION

Look.
