[Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact]

[Episode 20]

How is it?

You won't go back on your word

in front of so many people, will you?

Yuechu.

Passed!

Bravo! Bravo!

So great!

Bravo!

Yuechu.

Since you have betrayed Tushan,

why did you come to us?

If you hate me for being a traitor,

why did you come to see me compete?

You...

It's fine if you scribble,

[Ya]

but it's permanent.

And it's fine if it's permanent, but you are missing a stroke here.

What are you trying to do?

Well then, when we're back at Tushan,

I'll add that missing stroke for you.

That depends on whether you are still alive.

After what you did today,

many people will definitely come after you.

That would be best.

I chose to join the alliance tryout

because I want more people to know me,

and that includes those who want to come after me.

Why?

Because I need fame,

a lot of fame at that.

I didn't expect you to be so vain.

In my opinion, I think

Yuechu just wants more people

to hear his voice.

You know me well.

With fame,

[Yiqi Alliance]

I can get more people to

hear and believe me.

Only then can I try to make the human race stronger.

And only when the human race becomes stronger

can the fear and suspicion of the spirit clan be eliminated.

Only then

will there be true peace between humans and spirits.

So, does that mean you purposely left Tushan

in order to join the Yiqi Alliance?

You might hope for everyone to have their own magic tool.

But have you ever considered that

peace between humans and spirits might be too difficult to achieve?

I have to try regardless.

I can only go back

after I've tried my best.

Bye.

Although we didn't catch Guoguo

on our trip down Tushan this time,

it was not all for naught.

Yeah.

I didn't expect that brat's insistence on going down the mountain

was for the sake of the humans and spirits.

Just now, he broke free from the fox spell.

That's not easy.

That ungrateful fox.

If it weren't for the crowd at the recruitment rally,

I would have knocked him out.

It was a good thing that Yuechu was skillful enough

and didn't get caught by him.

Of course.

You got to look at who he learnt his magic from.

Oh, right.

Who did he learn it from?

I recall someone groaning every day,

saying that she would never

teach magic to a human.

Who was it?

That was in the past.

Now, he had gone to such great lengths

for the sake of Tushan

and my sister.

I really regret

not teaching him all my magic.

Well, what I remembered was that he had actually learnt it all.

And that gourd.

When did he took it away

to write nonsense on it?

I...

That's because I went easy on him.

Anyway, he's just not as good as me.

Fine.

Tushan Yaya is the best.

I'm done talking to you.

I'm leaving.

I wonder if my sister will change her mind

if she sees how devoted that brat was.

Your sister wouldn't.

How can you be so sure?

As a friend,

I certainly don't want your sister

to sacrifice her feelings.

But she is not only your sister,

but also Yuechu's lover,

and my friend.

She is also the chief of Tushan,

and the Head of Spirit Alliance.

Given her position,

she must bear its weight.

That is her duty and the price of being

a powerful person.

I don't understand.

One day,

when you become someone powerful,

you'll naturally understand.

When I first came to Tushan,

I really hoped you could understand this earlier.

But now,

I truly hope you would never understand.

No, I want to understand.

Then, I can help share

my sister's burden.

Yaya.

There's something I haven't told you.

I'm leaving Tushan for a while.

When?

Where are you going? For how long?

Your sister and I suspect

Shi Ji colluded with forces from outside the circle.

Is there something wrong with the barrier?

It's possible.

How long will you be gone?

It will take about three years to investigate

the entire boundary.

Okay, then we'll make it a three-year promise.

I'll wait for you to come back.

Don't worry.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

[Tushan Hulu Village]

Come in.

You are among the best

within Divine Flame Villa.

Yet, you can't even hide your aura.

Regardless, I'm not as good as you.

Everyone now knows

Yiqi Alliance has recruited you,

who is proficient in both human and spirit magic.

Have you figured it out?

That's easy.

But...

Why didn't you tell everyone

you're from the Divine Flame Villa?

Aren't you going back?

No.

Why?

Jin Renfeng's henchmen have been wiped out.

The remaining people in the villa are seniors

who are loyal to Old Master,

and newly recruited disciples.

Everyone is looking forward to your return.

Divine Flame Villa has nothing to do with me anymore.

What am I going back for?

How come it has nothing to do with you?

At least within the villa,

Ms. Yu Ping is still there.

Aunt Yu Ping...

Has she been well?

Since you care so much about her,

why don't you go back to see her yourself?

You can also put her mind at ease.

Send my regards to Aunt Yu Ping.

Tell her I'll visit her

at the villa when I have time.

By the way,

what brings you here?

I have news for you.

The head of the Nangong family is dead.

Nangong Shi has taken over as the head.

Dead?

Has Sister...

truly forgot Yuechu?

Where did you find

these two so-called research enthusiasts？

What's wrong?

They said they wanted to

research the methods of making magic tools with me.

But I'm the only one who does everything from

design to fabrication.

That's not all.

Every time I am trying to focus on my research,

they are either sleep talking, grinding their teeth, or snoring.

Such behavior is simply outrageous.

The previous batch of magic tools has been reviewed.

In the feedback,

most of the problems are centered at Beishan.

It should be because Beishan is in the desert.

With a greater temperature difference between day and night,

the spirit stones within the magic tool becomes unstable.

What should we do?

[Disciple of Yiqi Alliance, Si Xi]

[Disciple of Yiqi Alliance, Mr. Fu]

We can't change the temperature of Beishan.

Exactly.

You just have to add a thermometer inside the magic tool.

Mr. Fu,

I'll leave that to you.

If you can't do it,

no alcohol for you for six months.

No, no.

How about half a month?

Si Xi.

Let’s go out and continue distributing the magic tools together.

Okay.

Take it.

Thank you, Mr. Yuechu.

It's my duty.

Thank you, Mr. Yuechu.

The magic tool you gave me last time

helped me scare away a little spirit.

The magic tools which Mr. Yuechu has given out over the years

can not only subdue spirits,

but has also made life more convenient.

Thank you, Mr. Yuechu.

It's my pleasure.

My wife really liked the automatic windmill

which you gave me last month.

It's great that she likes it.

Thank you, Mr. Yuechu.

Yuechu.

Dongfang Luo?

[Disciple of Divine Flame Villa, Dongfang Luo]

My dream was clear like it just happened yesterday,

but when I woke up from it, it's been a thousand years since.

I didn't expect

a few hundred years have passed

in the time I was asleep.

Honghong.

We've all grown up.

Listen up, you guys.

[Tushan Rongrong]

Not a single spirit who has infringed our boundary shall be left alive.

Yes.

Check carefully. Don't miss a single one.

Have you checked over there?

I did. No one's there.

There are still survivors. After them!

Yes.

Yes.

Rongrong!

Sister!

Sister, I'm so scared.

Let's go back to Tushan.

Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone hurt you again.

Look closely and see if there are any survivors.

Yes.

Check that room again.

Yes.

Honghong.

Honghong.

Someone is coming.

You run ahead with your sister.

I'll distract them first.

Are there still little spirits in the house?

Go and find them.

It's no good. Hurry up and go!

Go!

Eldest Senior.

Why are you here?

Are you hurt?

No.

I'm fine, Eldest Senior.

Sister.

Who is this human?

Why does he know your name?

Don't forget.

Shi Ji said humans can't be trusted.

You two take him back to Divine Flame Villa.

Yes.

They're from Divine Flame Villa.

I've long noticed that there is a larger fox

behind this little fox.

I've been planning this for a long time. I've even set this trap.

And finally, I got you.

Junior,

bringing these two fox spirits from Tushan back to Divine Flame Villa

will be considered a great merit.

Yes, Senior.

Sister, I'm scared.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have trusted that human.

Don't be afraid, Rongrong.

I will find a way to get you out of here.

Sister.

Sister, are you okay?

Sister!

Sister!

Sister, are you okay?

Sister, stop trying.

This talisman specifically targets us fox spirits.

As long as you use your spirit power, you'll be in excruciating pain.

Someone is here.

Honghong.

Keep an eye on those two foxes.

Yes.

Do you really think

I'll be fooled by you again?

My power is weak.

I have no means to save you directly.

So I had no choice but to cooperate with my senior

in order to gain his trust.

I believe

there will come one day

where humans and spirits can live in harmony.

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you who I was back then,

resulting

in your misunderstanding.

Back then, I only wanted to save...

I've already known.

I'm sorry.

I was being rude.

I just...

You've been in a coma for hundreds of years,

and have just woken up.

It's only natural that you're unable

to adapt to the changes around you.

You've changed a lot

since then too.

Now that you're awake,

what's your plan?

After lying around for so long,

I'm afraid it'll be hard to

integrate back into the human race.

If it's convenient,

let me stay here

and be accompanied by books and chess

for the rest of my life.

It's fine if it's inconvenient.

The six realms are huge.

There's always room for me.

I don't need much on my own anyway.

I owe you my life.

If you want to stay,

that's possible too.

I'll arrange a place for you.

Thank you,

but no need to bother.

I've been lying here for hundreds of years.

I'm used to this place,

so there's no need to move.

I wonder why did Sister called us over

so formally?

Yes.

I just roasted this chicken

and have yet to take a bite

when I received Chief's call.

Sister.

Sister.

This is...

Dongfang Luo.

-Dongfang Luo?
-Dongfang Luo?

You...

I often hear this name,

but it's my first time seeing you in person.

I'm Dongfang Luo. You're...

Tushan Yaya.

Tushan Rongrong.

Just call me Elder.

Greetings, Elder.

In the future,

Dongfang Luo will stay at the Twin Peaks of Tushan

and live alongside everyone.

He's staying in Tushan?

Chief, I don't think that's appropriate.

Although humans are allowed to stay in Tushan,

he's an outsider after all.

You have a point, Elder.

I'm causing inconvenience by staying behind in Tushan.

But there's no place for me in the human race.

So I shamelessly begged Honghong

to allow me to temporarily stay at Twin Peaks.

Deputy Chief, Third-Ranking Chief,

say something!

Dongfang Luo is the savior of my sister and Rongrong.

I don't mind if he stays.

Things have been going well in Tushan.

The harvest has been good.

There's no problem in supporting one more person.

Elder,

what do you think?

I...

No objection.

This old fox completely agrees.

Well then, I'll go tell other fox spirits

to be polite when they meet Dongfang Luo.

They must not be rude.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Have you made up your mind?

Previously, I only studied scriptures and philosophies.

I knew nothing about actual practice.

Now that I've woken up, instead of indulging in empty talk,

I would rather study medicine

to save oneself and others.

Fine.

I'll ask Rongrong to prepare some medical books for you.

You're not familiar with this mountain.

Wherever you want to go,

you can ask the foxes to show you the way.

Thank you.

[Tushan]

There's none.

That is...

Chief has set rules.

No one can leave Tushan without permission.

Come back.

Sorry.

I was reckless.

May I ask...

is that village over there part of the human race's territory?

That place?

It's Hulu Village.

It's part of Tushan's territory.

There are indeed

humans living there.

There are humans?

Who is it?

An old friend of Tushan,

called Dongfang Yuechu.

I'll go back first.

Dongfang Yuechu?

It's him.

Savior!

Dongfang Luo?

You're awake?

Thank you for saving me.

I'll give you ten years of my vitality.

When did you wake up?

Does Honghong know?

I just woke up a few days ago.

Thanks to Honghong's kindness,

I can continue to stay in Tushan.

You want to stay in Tushan?

You came here

just to thank me?

I'm ashamed.

I knew I've been greatly indebted to you

back when I was in my soul.

However, I didn't see you when I woke up.

If I hadn't gone out to collect herbs,

and found the scent of you nearby,

I wouldn't have known when I could thank you personally.

Enough.

Stop calling me your savior.

I saved you

because of Honghong.

According to the human race,

I'm Honghong's sidekick,

and you are Honghong's friend.

So naturally, you are my friend.

It's only right to save a friend.

Friend?

Yes.

Dongfang Luo.

Let's be friends.

Sure.

It's your first time here.

I'll give you a gift.

Here.

This item is great, whether it's for decocting medicine

or making porridge.

With this,

you don't have to go to Tushan for free meals.

This...

Take it.

It's my token of appreciation.

Thank you.

It's my honor to be friends with you, Yuechu,

who is this cool and spontaneous.

I'm a great friend, right?

Not only I'll make friends with you,

but I'll get all the spirits of Tushan

to be friends with you.

From now on, I will pester you to no end,

and keep you occupied at all times,

so that you have no time to bother Honghong.

[Tushan Academy]

How is it?

The novella I recommended is good, right?

What happened to that female spirit who defeated her enemies

after self-learning magic?

Wait, you don't know?

Mr. Dongfang,

give me some pointers.

Looking at the color of the mountains,

should I color it thicker or thin it out?

The novellas in this world

are more or less the same.

Ms. Jiushuang,

let's call it a day.

The study of scriptures is not just a one-time affair.

After taking revenge,

it will always be about romance.

What I've taught you

should be enough for you to study for more than half a year.

Ms. Wuli, I'm sorry.

I don't know much about calligraphy.

It's okay if you don't.

Just comment from the perspective of a bystander.

Her master

chose to be with someone else.

You could even draw on it directly.

Mr. Dongfang.

I still don't know what it means to

focus on the scripture from one's heart, and not on the paper.

We've gone over

this sentence at least thrice.

Brother Luo.

Why are you here?

It might sound funny.

I found out that

the foxes in Tushan seem particularly welcoming.

They're awfully passionate, aren't they?

That's right, it's quite scary.

Then that's right.

Let me tell you.

The fox spirits of Tushan are very difficult to deal with.

Especially those vixens.

If you see them, you should stay away from them.

Thank you for the tip.

Brother Luo.

Have a seat.

My place is a bit messy.

Please don't mind me.

It's okay.

Here, have a seat.

I'll get you some water.

Thank you.

This... This...

This...

This...

This is the chair my mother made before she died.

It's the only one in the world.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sure it can be fixed

with a bit of work.

But I don't know how to fix it.

Every time I think of my mother,

I would sit on this chair.

As long as I sit on it,

I would feel relieved.

It's as if she's still alive.

But now...

I can fix it.

I'll fix it for you.

And this house...

It was previously destroyed by th*gs.

I had finally restored it after much effort.

Just now,

when you broke the chair,

the house also shook.

I'm afraid it's not structurally sound anymore.

I'll... I'll fix it.

I'll come and fix your house every day.

I'll definitely restore your place to what it was.

Thank you, Luo.

By the way, Luo,

is there something else you came here for?

I almost forgot.

[Emptiness Magic]

Emptiness Magic?

My mother told me about it.

Purest Sun Flame and Emptiness Magic

are secret techniques that the Dongfang family has lost for a long time.

This Emptiness Magic

has been lost for nearly a century.

Why do you have this book?

It's not the original.

Many years ago,

I was lucky enough to have read this book

at Dongfang family's library.

After that, the w*r between humans and spirits broke out,

and the library was destroyed by a fire.

The ten thousand over books inside were completely destroyed.

Since I got to meet you,

the authentic disciple of the spiritual blood,

and on the account that you've saved me,

I wrote this from my memory.

I thought it might help you with your cultivation.

How kind of you.

Thank you, Luo.

And this chair and house...

Please remember to fix it.

That's what I should do.

This is the medical book you were looking for.

Sorry to trouble you again.

I hear you've been

teaching the foxes to identify herbs.

It seems that your medical skills have improved.

I'm just learning as I go along too,

and then passing it on to the foxes.

It's not worth mentioning.

Sister.

What is it?

Recently, many female disciples from Yiqi Alliance have gone missing.

They've got a lot of different opinions within themselves.

Some people think it's the work of

the spirit clan from the Spirit Alliance.

Do they have any evidence?

No.

If they could produce the evidence,

Wangquan Hongye wouldn't

sit on the sidelines like he is now.

Since there is no evidence,

why would anyone think it was done by the spirit clan?

It is said that

the first one who suspected the spirit clan

was the Nangong Family of the Yiqi Alliance.

The Nangong family?

Yes.

Let Elder investigate this as soon as possible.

If there are evil spirits causing trouble,

I won't tolerate them.

Yes.

Emptiness Magic

lies in one's sincerity.

Tears fall,

and time is turning.

The greatest

is born out of the most profound love.

Strange.

Why is this Emptiness Magic

working against the techniques I had previously learnt?

Why are you here again?

What is it?

I wanted to tell you something new.

If you don't want to see me,

I'll have some tea and leave.

Something new?

What is it?

Tell me.

I'll tell you if you beg me.

Fine.

Just forget it.

Whatever.

Anyway,

many female disciples

from Yiqi Alliance went missing recently.

Everyone said it was Spirit Alliance behind it.

If it was Yiqi Alliance who had missing disciples...

Why do they insist that it was the work of Spirit Alliance?

I don't know the details.

But I heard...

it's the Nangong family creating the most noise.

Nangong Shi?

By the way,

these are the information you asked me to collect

[Nangong]

on the various aristocrats of Yiqi Alliance over the past three years.

I've brought it all over.

You're smart.

As expected, it was NangongShi

who instructued those people to target Spirit Alliance.

I've been running around

to gather the things you've asked for.

I wonder if you would fulfil

your side of the promise, Sir.

Don't worry.

As long as the Nangong family

stick to the plan as discussed,

the position of Yiqi Alliance's director

would definitely be yours.

When did the Nangong family have such a nobleman?

Thank you, Sir.

This is not the only thing you have to thank me for.

About your father...

My lord,

a man outside claiming to be Yuechu wants to see you.

Dongfang Yuechu?

What is he doing here?

Although he's been showing off,

he has yet to officially take over Divine Flame Villa.

It seems...

he wants something from me.

Dongfang Yuechu?
