ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

He's gone?

He's really gone?

Is he hiding?

Stop looking.

I've looked for him.

He's really not here.

He's really gone.

I've been looking forward to it.

He's really gone.

That's great.

-That's great.
-That's great.

-He's gone.
-That's great.

That's great!

Thank goodness.

He's an immortal criminal.

Once someone finds out,

you will definitely be charged
for hiding an escaped prisoner.

Lord Arbiter is not here.

Who will protect you then?

Protect me?

If my master finds out,
she won't forgive me.

These days, I've been worried all day.

He's finally gone.

Even the air becomes more refreshing.

Why should I care about
the likes and dislikes of a small plant?

When I think about it,

it was quite lively
during Daqiang's time here.

Since my master left,

no one has been with me all day
for a long time like this.

I've only lived for 1,000 years.

But he has been locked up in Haotian Tower

for tens of thousands of years.

He must be lonely.

Haotian Tower is empty with nothing.

There isn't even
a blade of grass in the tower.

If he goes back this time,

I wonder how much longer
he's going to jail alone.

He's an immortal criminal.

He deserves it.

Orchid, stop thinking about it.

But I think he's not that bad.

We met and got to know each other.

How could he…

Even if we're not friends,

he should at least say goodbye.

He just left saying nothing.

Forget it.

It's a good thing after all.

I'm just not used to it yet.

Can you chat with me?

No, Orchid.

It's almost 1 p.m.

We're going to sleep.

No.

Can you chat with me?

I'm alone again.

Daqiang, didn't you leave?

Where have you been?

I couldn't find you anywhere.

This is morning dew.

You disappeared for the whole morning
just to collect the morning dew?

Yes.

The morning dew is rootless water.

It's good for your primordial spirit
of plant and wood.

From now on, I'll collect it for you.

Daqiang, let me ask you a question.

Why are you so nice to me?

Cut the crap. Drink it.

The morning dew is too cold
with the chill of the night.

I can't drink it.

What do you want then?

I'm not being picky.

As you know, my immortal root is burned.

So my body is afraid of cold.

I used to drink heated water.

Here.

It's too hot.

I can't drink it.

I can't.

It shouldn't be cold or hot.

What do you want?

It's not cold or hot now.

You can drink it, right?

Wait.

You made efforts to collect this water.

I can't just drink it directly.

What?

Do you want to make a fuss about it?

The water looks tasteless.

I'll get some honey.

Add it to the water and drink it.

Greetings, Lord Yunzhong.

You have recently gone through
many battles in various places.

Have you ever heard of
the whereabouts of the goddess?

Lord Yunzhong,

I haven't heard of her.

It has been 30,000 years.

I'm afraid the goddess has already…

What?

She has already died.

The Xilan Tribe sealed
the Evil God Taisui for generations.

If the goddess had really died,

Taisui would've broken
through the restriction

and caused chaos in the three realms.

Taisui's story is just a legend.

I'm afraid even you
have never seen Taisui.

How can you be sure she is still alive?

How dare you.

The Xilan Tribe has guarded
Taisui for generations.

They made great achievements.

How dare you talk nonsense?

I didn't mean to offend the goddess.

I also hope I can find the goddess soon.

After that,

what will you do?

Of course, I'll complete the engagement.

Do you really think

you've deceived the whole Shuiyuntian?

Why do you say that?

After you find the goddess,

you want to break off the engagement

and have an affair
with the owner of this handkerchief,

right?

Lord Yunzhong,

I have nothing to do
with the owner of this handkerchief.

Please investigate.

Whether it's related or not,

I'll find out about it.

However, you ignored
your destiny to marry the goddess.

It's a fact.

Please calm down.

In the future, I'll remember
the engagement with the goddess.

I'll never be disloyal.

Considering your military merits,

I won't mention this matter.

But you'd better remember

to abide by destiny.

Don't make any mistakes.

This is your duty.

I added six kinds of herbs
and seven kinds of honey.

It's delicious.

Daqiang, do you want to try it?

I know.

I'll drink it myself.

Don't stare at me like that.

It's delicious.

Daqiang, is it enough?

No, finish it.

My lord.

You stay here and protect her.

Don't make any mistakes.

I'll be back soon.

Yes.

FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO

Did you always get bullied?

Don't be afraid.
I'll protect you from now on.

Protect me?

Although my power is weak,

I'm good at running away.

If you're in danger,

I'll take you far away from here.

I used to protect others.

No one…

No one said he would protect me.

I don't need protection either.

No.

Everyone needs protection,
no matter who he is.

My brother taught me
not to show my weakness to others.

It's okay that no one
has protected you before.

I'll be the first one.

Do you think I'm too weak?

My lord.

What's the matter?

Fairy Danyin asked me
to give this box of pastries to you.

She said she made it herself.

Didn't I tell you
not to accept gifts from them?

Yes.

But Fairy Danyin insisted

-that I must take this box of cake--
-Whose subordinate are you?

Who do you work for?

I know I was wrong.

Send it back tomorrow.

Also, tell her that
she doesn't need to send gifts anymore.

Yes.

Wait.

Take this away.

It's useless now.

Why are you back so late?

I left your dinner in the kitchen.

Go get it yourself. I'm going to bed.

What are you doing?

Your room is really cold.

It's colder at night.

What is this?

The kindling of Eternal Fire.

Eternal Fire?

Could it be the one written in the book?

It's said that it has been burning
since ancient times and will never go out.

That's right.

In the legendary,

Eternal Fire is from
the magma of Cangyan Sea.

Where did you get it?

It's so warm.

Your true form is the orchid,
which likes warmth and hates cold.

A warm room is good for you.

Did you

go to the magma of Cangyan sea
because of me?

Why are you so reckless?

It's okay for me to feel cold.

Do you know how dangerous it is?

Even the Moon Tribe dare not approach it.

You're just an immortal criminal.
What if you lose your life?

Cut the crap.

It's just a piece of cake for me.

He loves me so much.

Why are you staring at me?

Daqiang.

I like other people.

-I told you, right?
-Didn't I tell you?

You can like anyone, but you belong to me.

No.

Orchid, you can't be bewitched
by his sweet words.

Daqiang, you're so nice to me.

Why don't you…

You should…

Just say it.

You should confess your crime
as early as possible.

Then get out of prison as soon as possible
and live a new life.

I'm really bad at talking.

"The Xilan Holy Plant

is born in the south of Xishan.

It's beautiful with the sunshine,

especially the sunshine
from the rising sun."

The rising sun?

Does it mean
the first sunshine in the morning?

I guess so.

I never thought

raising a plant

was so troublesome.

My lord,

please wait a little longer.

When she fixes the Destiny Book,

we will succeed.

I can do everything in this world.

As for raising a plant,

how can it be difficult for me?

You're great, my lord.

The Arbiter Hall faces north.

It's remote and dark.

There's not enough morning light.

I see.

No wonder that Little Flower Spirit
is so weak and useless.

Other plants can hardly become human.

Then I'll take her to the best place
with abundant sunshine in Shuiyuntian

to enjoy the sunshine.

Get up and come with me.

Daqiang, are you crazy?

It's not dawn yet.

Where are you taking me?

You'll know when you get there.

How long will you hold me?

Where is this place?

I've never been here.

You took me to fly for so long.

This place must be very high.

The highest place in Shuiyuntian is…

Yunzhong Water Pavilion.

Daqiang, you want to k*ll me?

Yunzhong Water Pavilion
is the hall of Lord Yunzhong.

Not only you and me,

but even the senior gods
also can't come without summoning.

If we get caught, we'll die.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

If you don't leave, I'll leave.

I'm doomed.

I'm doomed.

We seem to have been discovered.

Dear heavenly soldiers, please arrest me.

I know I'm sinful.

But we really didn't mean it.

Please.

Daqiang, what are you doing?

Kneel together.

Dear heavenly soldiers,

you can catch and lock me in Haotian Tower

for 300 to 500 years.

I really don't want
to be banished to Shenshui Hall.

It's not easy for us to…

They…

Why are they…

They…

Why are they ignoring us?

Hello?

Hello?

They can't hear us.

Are we…

We're invisible.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I almost thought
I'd be banished to Shenshui Hall.

You scared me.

Follow me.

It turns out that looking from
the high place of Shuiyuntian,

the scenery is so beautiful.

My goodness.

I've been here for so long,

but I've never seen
such beautiful scenery.

No.

Let's go quickly.

Even if we can hide with invisible magic
to avoid heavenly soldiers,

when the high immortals come,

we'll still be discovered.

-Hurry up.
-As long as I want,

no high immortal will find us.

You're bragging.

Are you really so powerful?

Why are you still so unknown?

Why haven't I heard of Dongfang Qiang?

It's coming.

Coming?

What is coming?

The heavenly soldiers

or high immortals?

Sunrise.

You did this

just to take me to see the sunrise?

You're so lazy.

You get up at noon every day.

Have you ever seen the rising sun before?

No wonder your power is so weak

after your transformation
a thousand years ago.

I told you

my power is weak
because my immortal root is damaged.

Besides,

the rising sun is the same as the sunset.

They are all red and round.

I've seen the sunset.
It means I've seen the rising sun.

Nonsense.

Focus on your sunbathing.

It's so beautiful.

Are you so happy?

Of course.

It's so beautiful.

I can never be here with my identity.

The fairy realm is so hypocritical.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

They talk about benevolence and morality.

In fact, they are greedy and domineering.

They occupy the best place,

but they determine the class of others
just because of their backgrounds.

Daqiang.

Thank you.

Cloud…

Look, it's Cloud-Whale.

These days,

I've been nurturing her
according to the details in the book.

I never make her tired.

I worked hard
to collect morning dew for her

and take her to bask in the sun.

But why hasn't her power improved?

Why is this happening?

It hurts badly.

I nursed her according to the book.

-Help me.
-Why is she getting worse?

I'm dying.

What did you eat today?

You stole it from my room.

I hid it for your own good.

Your true form is wood
and it's afraid of fire.

How dare you take
the medicine of extreme yang?

Aren't you afraid that
you'll burn yourself to ashes?

Daqiang, I think I'm dying.

Am I going to die?

Yes.

I don't want to die yet.

Daqiang.

I find that although you
have a bad temper and are sharp-tongued,

you're not bad in nature.

In the three realms,

nobody is worse than me.

You even strive to be the top in that.

I'm the worst one.

No need to strive for it.

Daqiang.

After I die,

you should confess your crime
as early as possible.

Losing your freedom
is better than losing your life.

There are some spirit stones in my drawer.

After I die,

you can take them away

and buy something you like
to take back to Haotian Tower--

You won't die if I'm here.

Don't comfort me.

Even if you die,
it's because of your own stupidity.

I've expelled
all the yang energy from your body.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

What's wrong?

Are you still feeling uncomfortable?

I'm much better.

Then why do you want to cry?

When I was sick,

my master would cook
flower soup to let me drink.

I miss my master.

Stop thinking about it.

If you feel sad, I feel sad too.

Rest early.

How long will she be sad?

Master.

Master.

Here, my good disciple.

Open your mouth.

If the curse doesn't break,

I have to have the same feeling as her.

Daqiang.

Daqiang, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Are you going to
burn down the Arbiter Hall?

What are you doing?

Why did you cook on the rooftop?

Drink.

Is this medicine you made for me?

This is the flower soup I cooked for you.

Flower soup.

Drink it.

Don't be sad
and miss your master after drinking it.

Did you cook it

to make me happy?

Don't cry.

Daqiang, thank you.

You…

You're not sad anymore?

Then why are you crying?

People don't only cry when they are sad.

People also cry
when they are happy or excited.

There are many kinds of human feelings.

Tears are different too.

Have you stayed
in Haotian Tower for too long

that you don't even know that?

Having emotional roots
is really troublesome.

You…

Cry less.

Drink it.

Is it good?

Yes.

Here's more.

I…

I'm full.

I'm so sleepy.

I'm going to bed.

Good night.

She finished it in one sip.

I'm good at practicing magic.

Do I also have the talent for cooking?

This garden is connected
with her primordial spirit.

The secret of nursing her

is not taking care of her body

but her heart instead?

How can I make her happy?
