[Episode 12]

- Hurry.
- Do it.

- Hurry. k*ll her.
- Hurry.

k*ll her.

k*ll her now.

- k*ll her.
- k*ll her.

Don't you want to go to w*r?

k*ll her and you can go.

Be quick.

k*ll her.

- k*ll her now!
- Do it now!

Hurry!

- Do it now!
- k*ll her!

k*ll her!

k*ll her now! k*ll her!

k*ll her!

You...

I knew it.

You aren't the real Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao is a nice person.

She would never make me k*ll anyone!

You're the real Xiao Xiao.

Take it back.

Very well.

Since you refuse to k*ll her,

you'll die with her!

Captain Han, you go on scouting.

Qing Sheng and I will join you in three days.

- Yes, General.
- Qing Sheng, we're going back to Shuozhou.

- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.

Why did you protect me?

You may die.

But I can never die.

I just feel pain.

Xiao Xiao, please don't die.

I... I promise I'll grow stronger.

The General said those who always
protect others are very lonely.

The General and I will protect you together,

just like how you protected us.

All right?

Xiao Xiao, please don't die.

Take it.

With this, no spirit can ever hurt you.

Go find Meng Wan.

Don't get in my way here.

You...

- He...
- He has the Lantern.

I can't hurt him.

- You go after him.
- What?

But I... I...

Go after him.

Or I will k*ll you now.

Fine. All right.

I'll... I'll go after him.

You just gave that boy the Spirits Lantern?

What if it gets him k*lled?

Chen Ying...

He's no worse than any of you.

Before the sun rises and I get back my power,

if you still can't find my vital center,

prepare to vanish.

Fang Chang,

take off this guise.

So you knew it was me,

Your Grace.

Without your obsession with being a mortal,

I wouldn't have this great opportunity.

After I knew you were controlling that woman,

I kept watching secretly...

until you abandoned her body.

Stay back!

I found her.

With your lingering power in her body,
I took your form,

and manipulated her.

When you have no spirit power,

I'll k*ll you to avenge Yin Yin.

I've sensed your aura all along.

I was just wondering what kind of trick
you were going to play.

I never thought it could be so boring.

As for Shao Yin Yin...

She violated the Golden-wall Decrees,
and reaped what she sowed.

She was your lover.

To secure your position as Vice Lord,
you k*lled her yourself.

But now you seek revenge on me.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Shut up!

Fang Chang,

you've lived for centuries.

Is this all you've got?

He Si Mu!

To uphold the Golden-wall Decrees
and protect mortals,

you prey on spirits, your own kind!

So today,

I'll make you die at the hands of the mortals
under your protection.

I didn't know you could
do the Puppet Technique.

Die, He Si Mu!

Stop!

Don't run!

Stop right there!

Stop!

If I catch you, you'll get it from me!

Stop!

Stop right there!

If I catch you, I'll show no mercy!

Keep running.

Try if you can.

Boy,

give me the jade pendant.

After I k*ll that woman,
I can give you some money.

Give it to me.

You wish!

It belongs to Xiao Xiao.

I won't give it to you unless I die!

You little brat.

We aren't enemies.

But today, one of us has to die.

Don't blame me.

Who? Who did that?

Who?

Chen Ying.

General.

Who are you?

You... Who... Who are you?

You hurt him?

So what? Want a fight?

General, Xiao Xiao...

Xiao Xiao...

- She...
- Clean up the mess.

Got it.

Are you all right?

Without the puppets,

can you not even find my vital center?

Don't talk tough.

When I make the puppets pierce you all over,

I'll find your vital center.

My sense of touch is back.

Got any more moves?

Bring them on.

Stay back.

Or I'll k*ll her.

She's no threat to me.

Say something else.

Why don't you tell me

where you managed to
learn the Puppet Technique?

You'll never know, He Si Mu.

Si Mu.

Si Mu.

Si Mu.

So this is how much it hurts
when you're injured.

I didn't lend you this sense...

to make you feel pain.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Calm down, young general.

I'm calm enough.

I used three buckets of water
to clean you up.

Luckily, you aren't a mortal.

Or you would have bled out.

Meng Wan.

How do you feel?

Is anything hurting?

Feel?

I can't feel anything.

Soon, these wounds
will heal on their own.

A spirit heals quickly.

Besides, I'm the Sovereign.

I never die.

General Duan,

isn't it very rude when a mortal like you
stares at a lady like this?

What on earth happened?

The mortal I used to possess is Qiao Yan.

Before dying of illness,
her mother made a deal with me

that I'd protect her.

So, I kept her by my side,

and nurtured her with the aura of my lantern.

Later, her health improved a little.

Besides, when I made the spell
in exchange for your senses,

my own body was needed.

So, I let her leave.

You protected her.

Why did she hurt you?

She was just being manipulated.

In Shanling Temple,

someone called Fang Chang
hated me for k*lling her lover.

So during the time
when I didn't have any power,

he manipulated Qiao Yan's body
and did such a thing.

How is Miss He?

Her wounds are healing quickly.

She'll be fine.

What a surprise.

So Miss He really is a spirit.

Her identity doesn't matter.

I just know she did a great service to us.

That makes sense.

Without her, we wouldn't have taken Shuozhou.

Miss He.

She's a good spirit.

She really is.

Well, I'm quite curious.

How did he know I lost my power?

You didn't tell him, did you?

You suspect me?

I swear to you with my past...

my future,

my body,

my heart, my family, my dream,

my name, and everything I have,

I will never, ever,

do anything to hurt you, even if I die.

You can just deny it.

Why are you overreacting so much?

Oh, you're angry.

I've never seen you angry before.

Marshal Qin exiled you to the north,

Wu Sheng Liu questioned you,

and Qin's soldiers isolated you,
but you were never angry.

Now you're angry over
such an ordinary question.

Funny, indeed.

But this time,

I experienced what felt like dying.

I felt this pain to its very limit.

Exchanging this sense with you, is worth it.

Only someone who never dies

would say something so arrogant.

When I saw fresh and old wounds on you,

I never felt anything.

But since I've experienced such wounds,

it breaks my heart to see you like this.

Mortals like you are really fragile.

If only I had found you
when you joined the All-Knowing.

In that case, you would have had
fewer wounds and less pain.

No.

If you had met me at that time,

you wouldn't have been interested.

Now that I've met you,

I think it's the perfect time.

You don't want me to save you earlier?

No.

Back in the All-Knowing,

I was in pain and confused.

And I was always fearful.

My soul was a crucible.

There was no room for love.

I'm glad that you see me as I am now.

Now I'm clear-minded...

and resolute.

I need no redemption.

I'd rather fall,

survive rough times,

rebuild my body, reshape my soul,

and get worldly-wise,

in exchange for...

For meeting you again.

I was just asking casually.

Don't be so serious.

This is how I honestly feel.

My heart only holds evil thoughts
instead of true love.

Say that to someone else.

I've recovered.

Since you've arrived,

don't expect to disappear from my life.

Help me, Your Lordship!

Help me!

Your Lordship.

What makes you so flustered?

I'm too old to hear or see well.

So I entrusted Fang Chang
with all the affairs of my branch.

I never thought he could
do something so terrible

in the Mortal World.

He manipulated some mortals
to assassinate Her Grace.

The older you grow,
the more cowardly you get.

Since Her Grace took the throne,

being assassinated
has been like a daily occurrence.

Not this time.

I don't know how Fang Chang did it,

but he severely wounded her.

She was injured from head to toe.

- Chen Ying.
- General.

- You're awake?
- General. How is Xiao Xiao?

Don't worry. She's fine.

But General, that imposter pierced through
Xiao Xiao's body.

She bled a lot.

Is she really fine?

She must be in pain.

It's true.

She's formidable.

She's the Sovereign.

Nothing can harm her.

She's resting now.

You can have something to eat,

and see her when she wakes up.

Sovereign?

Xiao Xiao told me

the Sovereign is the head of spirits
with great power.

That's right.

General, I've made up my mind.

I must grow stronger.

I'll learn martial arts from you.

I will protect both of you
so that you won't get hurt,

and you can do greater things.

But I remember you wished
to eat eight pancakes at a time.

With meat filling.

I don't want pancakes anymore.

I... I wouldn't mind
eating no more pancakes.

All I want is to protect you.

This will be my only wish.

All right.

I'll make you stronger.

What's wrong?

General,

if Xiao Xiao is a spirit,

does it mean she can't stay with us forever?

Will she leave us?

General,

Xiao Xiao... She really likes you.

Because of you, she's been lovesick.

Don't you like her?

If you have feelings for each other,
she will stay.

- Lovesick?
- Yes.

She said that?

She says anything that comes to mind.

Chen Ying, I'll tell you something.

Can you keep it to yourself?

Yes. I won't tell anyone.

All right.

Xiao Xiao often says
she likes me or adores me,

but that's all fake.

She doesn't like me at all.

Those are just jokes.

To her,

I'm merely a special mortal.

I'm special enough
to make her forgive my offense.

But I'm not special enough
to make her love me.

I've never said that I like her.

Actually,

I really like her.

Really.

A-Are you sure?

You promised me you'd keep this secret.

You must not tell her.

I-I won't tell her.

Then General, let's try together
to make her stay, shall we?

We'll make her stay.

Eat up.

Xu, Commandant Xia is ready.

You can leave anytime.

Watch over Ming Feng.

Take care of the manipulated citizens.

Keep this under wraps.

Wait until I'm back.

Take care of Xiao Xiao.

[Yiyuan Courtyard]

Great Ancestor, you've finally summoned me.

Tell me.

What does it feel like to have the senses?

Which sense did you have this time?

Feng Yi,

I experienced what death felt like.

Huh?

I had the sense of touch.

When I lost my power,
some evil spirits knew about it,

and tried to k*ll me.

It was really fun.

Having a sense will make you
lose all your power?

Then Great Ancestor, you still want
to continue to get the other senses?

Why wouldn't I?

It's a rare opportunity.

And the time when I had the sense of touch

left a deep impression on me.

And thankfully,
those brainless fools added to the fun.

Great Ancestor,
it seems you've been away for so long

that you can't suppress
those ambitious spirits.

I've never suppressed them.

I've just k*lled them, haven't I?

They have to bow to me
unless they defeat me.

I just never thought

the one behind this was Song Xing Yu,
the long-lost lord of Jiling Temple.

What exactly happened?

Fang Chang from Shanling Temple
colluded with Song Xing Yu

and learned his unique skill,
the Puppet Technique.

When I lost my power,

Fang Chang set up that clumsy trap.

Song Xing Yu has hidden in
the Mortal World for so long

without being caught.

As master of the Starhaven Sect,

aren't you being irresponsible?

Spirits like you didn't catch him either.

Sorry, Great Ancestor.

I'll widen the search scope immediately.

Once we get news of Song Xing Yu,
I'll let you know.

Confess.

How did you wound Her Grace?

A lot of spirits want to k*ll He Si Mu.

This time, I waited until she lost her power.

I shouldn't miss that chance.

Do you know how great it felt
when I was torturing our sovereign?

The bright red blood kept streaming down!

She was trembling all over with pain!

Though she was the Sovereign,

she lost her power and felt the pain.

I really should have let you see
how she looked as she was dying.

She was truly pitiful.

Who conspired with you?

Your death is upon you.

No point in hiding it!

I'm going to die, whether I confess or not.

Yan Ke,

you're just He Si Mu's lapdog!

Yan Ke, you humble yourself

and obey her completely, and then?

She goes through men one after another.

But you'll never be chosen!

[Yiyuan Courtyard]

Yan, there you are.

Si Mu. You're going out?

How's your injury?

Guan Huai is quick-tongued
only when he wants to live.

You must have caught Fang Chang.

He's now in the Nine-Square Maze Prison.

He awaits your judgment.

I knew you'd bring me good news.

That's perfect.

Hey, Si Mu.

What exactly happened?

How did you lose your power
and get wounded by him?

I hate it most
when someone wants to poke around.

It's been 300 years.

You're the Sovereign,

and I help you rule the Spirit World.
We're perfectly in sync.

Do you and I have to
draw the line between us?

Do you have feelings for that general?

Right Hand,

you know very well that I am the Sovereign.

Sorry, Your Grace.

You should go back.

Keep our world in order.

When I'm back, don't let me down.

Yes, Your Grace.

I shall be there, awaiting your return.

[Yiyuan Courtyard]

[Liang]

Evil spirits. Evil spirits everywhere.

They eat people.

They're evil spirits.

- They eat people.
- General Duan.

Don't eat me.

What's all this about?

He's a mere swindler who fools people.

He set up a stupid scam.

And due to those baseless rumors,

the one contributing greatly to our army
was thrown into prison.

Don't eat me.

General Duan,
there was a spirit in your army.

Marshal Qin dealt with her
and calmed your army.

Instead of feeling thankful,
you blame him now.

Don't tell me you recruited that evil spirit.

He Xiao Xiao colluded with evil spirits,
as everyone witnessed.

She's still alive because
Marshal Qin showed mercy.

General Duan, don't you push it.

How was I unaware that our soldiers
were to be judged by a swindler?

Don't eat me. Spare me.

Did someone deliberately disrupt our morale,

or did someone maliciously try
to frame my capable strategist?

- You...
- Evil spirits. Spare me.

Don't eat me.

Now that it's a misunderstanding,

then have this swindler taken away,
and have him beheaded.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Evil spirits. They eat people.

So many evil spirits.

They eat people. They eat people!

Evil spirits...

General Duan, we'll be having a major battle
against the Chong troops,

and we need talents.

We must make concerted efforts
to fight our enemies.

Let's not blow our recovery plan
over such trivial things.

This is the information I collected

as fast as possible on reaching Yunzhou,

including city defense,
garrison troops, formations,

supplies, and weapons.

Take a look, Marshal.

Yunzhou is very far away
in a messy situation.

But you spied on the enemy
and returned safely within only a few days.

Impressive, indeed.

Good job.

Thank you, Miss.

You gave all your salary to someone else.

How will you survive this month?

I spared no effort to predict the weather,

and I was even in prison because of you.

With no compensation,
don't I at least get a raise?

Whatever you need should be offered.

What did Miss Qiao say before she left?

She's fully recovered.

She'll return to her hometown
for a peaceful life.

Your Grace,
what does your hometown look like?

I'd like to visit it.

When dead trees blossom,
I'll grant your wish.
