[bunniefuu]

ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

CANGYAN SEA

You're here.

Come take a look.

Stop.

Pass token.

Pass token?

The Moon Supreme has ordered

that only those with a pass token

may enter Ninth Youxian County.

Yes, I have it.

Wait.

Sir, the token, right?

May I leave now?

Go.

All right.

Life isn't easy for you.

You were doing just fine

but were suddenly dug up
and brought here to accompany me.

We are in the same boat.

Don't worry.

As long as I'm here,

I will be responsible for you.

You almost k*lled me.

Why are you still watering flowers here?

Jieli, you…

Why are you here?

Don't you have to run the shop?

How dare you mention my shop?

I sent you on an errand,

but you wreaked havoc with others
in Haishi,

ruining my shop and treasures.

If I hadn't run fast,

I would have died.

No, I didn't do that.

They wanted to arrest me for no reason

and were even violent towards me.

Luckily, Dongfang Qingcang saved me.

The Moon Supreme Lord saved you?

It seems the rumor is true.

What rumor?

It is already known
throughout the whole of Ninth You.

I've heard more than 800 romances

about you and the Moon Supreme Lord.

The plot

even makes me blush.

What romance?

Don't listen to them.

By the way,

I also heard that

you saved the Moon Supreme
from the God of w*r.

Is that true?

I…

It's a long story.

I don't know how to explain it.

It's just a misunderstanding.

All right.

Whatever.

Well, my thousands of years of savings

are all gone.

Yet you are favored and enjoying life
in the Silent Moon Palace.

Listen carefully.

You must take me in

and be responsible for me.

No, you can't stay here.

It's really dangerous here.

How can it be more dangerous than outside?

So many people from Haishi are after me.

It wasn't easy sneaking into the palace.

I don't want to go out and die.

That's not all.

I also want to--

He's here.

Hide yourself.

Moon Supreme Lord.

-I--
-I--

Moon Supreme Lord, what brings you here

to see me?

I want to see you.

See me?

I want to see

if you are fixing the Destiny Book.

Yes.

I wanted to see if you are slacking off.

I…

I…

I can't fix it. I don't know how.

Aren't you Arbiter's head disciple?

Why can't you fix it?

I didn't know

that you were
the Moon Supreme of the Moon Tribe.

That's why I told you
I could fix the Destiny Book.

Then you asked me
to fix the Destiny Book every day.

To be honest,

I thought you were just making small talk.

Now I know

how ridiculous and self-sentimental

I am.

You keep asking me
to fix the Destiny Book.

Is there any special purpose?

Is it related to dealing with Shuiyuntian?

I knew it.

I helped you in front of Lord Changheng

and proved that I am a traitor.

But I won't do anything truly ruinous

to Shuiyuntian.

I ask you to fix the Destiny Book,

but you refuse again and again.

I know you have been kind to me.

You saved me three times.

Haishi.

Yingzhao.

Lord Yunzhong.

But I also saved you once.

You're the inimitable Moon Supreme Lord.

Your life is so valuable.

Your life is worth
at least three times mine.

We're considered even now.

We don't owe each other anymore.

It won't be that easy

to cancel your debts with me.

Let me ask you.

Are you going to fix it or not?

I'm just a mediocre apprentice.

The Destiny Book is in such awful shape.

I can't fix it.

I can't do it.

Very well.

-Jieli.
-Moon Supreme Lord!

Is she your friend?

If I don't see the Destiny Book
in three days,

I will k*ll her.

-Shangque.
-Yes.

Take her away and guard her strictly.

Yes.

-Let's go.
-Moon Supreme Lord!

My lord, spare my life!

Orchid, save me!

Black Dragon, where are we going?

-Wind Prison.
-Wind Prison?

Black Dragon!

I really didn't commit any crime.

I'm just a vendor in Haishi.

I do business with my conscience.

Quality products, fair prices,
and good business.

Patrons from the Moon Tribe

get a 20% discount!

Black Dragon!

-Black Dragon, listen to me!
-You should've minded your shop.

Why did you sneak into the palace?

It was Orchid.

I sent her on delivery,
but she made a mess in Haishi.

They couldn't catch her,

so they came after me

and chased me all the way to Cangyan Sea.

Black Dragon, I'm just a weak woman.

I came to seek refuge, Black Dragon!

-Let's go.
-Black Dragon!

Trust me.

I'm not lying, Black Dragon.

Listen to me.

-I--
-Shut up.

Let me tell you the truth.

Threatening her to fix the Destiny Book

with my life won't work.

Why not?

I am not close with Orchid.

We don't know each other well.

She comes to my shop just to buy things.

That pauper always runs a tab.

She still owes me
hundreds of spirit stones.

Look, if I die,

she won't have to pay the debt.

Isn't that a great thing for her?

How would the threat work?

What you said makes sense.

Right.

What do you think we should do?

Let me think.

Based on my understanding of Orchid,

it's not difficult to threaten her.

You just have to capture a few fairies

and k*ll one every day

until she is willing to fix it.

This seems to be a way.

Go and tell the lord

and let me go.

No.

Why not?

Fairy Orchid is sentimental.

If she sees her tribesmen k*lled,

she will be sad.

Then my lord will be sad too.

People in the Cangyan Sea say

that the lord trusts
his right-hand Black Dragon.

Now that I've met you,

I don't think you know the lord at all.

He's powerful in the three realms.

Why would he be sad over a little fairy?

Who would believe that?

I don't believe it anyway.

What do you know?

Since 38,000 years ago,

I have been at my lord's side.

After his resurrection, I never left him.

He helped Orchid get the Eternal Fire,

make flower soup,

take the immortal examination,

and pursue her lover.

To relieve her longing for Shuiyuntian,

he even built
an exact replica of Arbiter Hall.

I saw it all with my own eyes.

What I just said

are my lord's private matters.

Don't tell anyone.

Otherwise…

This…

Black Dragon, I'm very timid.

Since childhood, whenever I was scared,

not only would my legs move on their own,

but my tongue would also move on its own.

I will babble uncontrollably.

Don't talk nonsense.

Don't lock me up in the Wind Prison.

Then I won't talk nonsense.

This is my lord's order.

It's useless to protest.

The lord only asked you
to keep an eye on me.

He didn't say
we must go to the Wind Prison.

How about this?

Send me back to Orchid,
the woman the lord loves

and the future Moon Queen of Cangyan Sea.

If I stay with her,

I can't run away either.

The woman the lord loves?
The future Moon Queen?

My lord wants to unify the three realms.

As for Orchid,

my lord regards her as a loyal friend.

When have they ever had a love affair?

The many beauties in Silent Moon Palace

are like passing clouds for my lord.

That's it!

Think about what you said.

Doesn't that mean

the lord is among a vast sea of flowers,

but he only looks at this certain orchid?

You've been with the lord every day.

Haven't you noticed it?

Black Dragon,

you seem handsome too.

Why don't you have the wisdom to match?

The relationship

between the lord and Orchid

is very special.

Let me put it this way.

To girls, making soup and getting fire

are trivial matters.

The lord built Arbiter Hall

only because Orchid misses her home.

Say, the Moon Supreme is really something.

He's so rich.

Never mind a luxury palace.

If someone builds a candy shop for me,

I will marry him.

You're always talking about marriage.

You're a girl.

Don't you feel ashamed?

Is that the point?

Black Dragon,

you can train soldiers and fight.

But you don't even understand
the love between men and women.

How can you be considerate

and serve the lord well?

Right?

Think about what I said.

Doesn't it make sense?

It's reasonable.

In that case,

my lord and Fairy Orchid

are a perfect match.

She looks like a Moon Queen.

Of course.

But according to our ancestors' rules,

marriage is prohibited
between our two tribes.

My lord and Fairy Orchid

can't be together.

Think about it.

Is our lord a man who follows rules?

No.

If my lord wants to do something,

no one can stop him.

That's it.

Orchid is the future Moon Queen.

Then I'm the future Moon Queen's friend.

Shouldn't you be nicer to me?

But didn't you just say

that you don't know the Fairy Orchid well?

If I didn't know her well,
would I let her pay on credit?

It's hundreds of spirit stones.

We survived
near-death situations together.

We are closer than sisters.

That makes sense.

Lock her up.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Why are you so stubborn?

-Go.
-Jieli!

Jieli!

Jieli, I'm here to see you.

Orchid!

Orchid, help me.

Don't let him lock me up.

Shangque is very stubborn.

He won't listen to anyone

except for the Moon Supreme.

Then think of something.

All right, I'll try.

Well, Shangque.

Yes.

Can you do me a favor?

Don't lock Jieli up. Hand her over to me.

Yes.

You live well, Orchid.

We finally held off that grouch.

On the way,
I talked so much that I'm thirsty now.

Here you go.

Tell me.

What special relationship

do you have with the lord?

If others offended the lord
the way you did,

they would have died a graveless death.

But you?

You didn't lose a strand of hair.

He and you…

-You two--
-No way.

We are not what you think.

Actually,

I don't know
what kind of relationship we have now.

I have three questions

that can quickly determine
your current relationship.

Do you dare to answer?

Go ahead.

Have you held hands?

Yes.

Have you stayed in the same room?

But…

Tell me.

Don't be shy.
You're thousands of years old.

We were in the same room.

-But--
-Stop.

I don't want to hear the details.

Next question.

Have you two kissed?

We've kissed many times.

But--

My goodness, Orchid.

Without anyone knowing,

you made the lord fall in love with you.

You are really capable.

No, that's not it.

I'll be frank with you.

Dongfang Qingcang was really good to me.

But he also said

that he never had any feelings for me.

It was only because of

something called the One Heart Curse

that he protected me.

He had to take care of me.

Actually, he didn't do it willingly.

That's all?

That's it?

Don't you understand?

His kindness to me is fake.

I'm his weakness
that he can't wait to get rid of.

He was nice to me

because he wanted me
to fix the Destiny Book.

You're still too young.

You don't understand men.

For men,

dignity is more important than life.

He just doesn't want to admit

that he likes a useless fairy like you,

so he made up some curse.

That is just an excuse.

Are you two having a quarrel?

He is forcing you to fix it

to make you give in.

No.

He is the Moon Supreme.

Does that matter?

One-track mind.

Since the Moon Supreme likes you,

why don't you make good use of that?

Make him happy.

In the Silent Moon Palace…

No, in the whole Cangyan Sea,

you will be the hostess.

Jieli is right.

I have to make Big Blockhead happy

in order to escape.

Fine, I'll listen to you.

Teach me how to make him happy.

Come here.

My lord.

What is it?

My lord,

the fairy asks for you at Arbiter Hall.

Has she fixed the Destiny Book so quickly?

I don't know
if it's about the Destiny Book.

She only said
that she would give you a surprise.

A surprise?

I'll be happy
as long as she doesn't shock me.

-Hurry up.
-Will this work?

Of course.

Goodness, don't be nervous.

Smile naturally.

What did I teach you?

Talk about memories.

Yes.

Since you said the lord had built

an exact replica of Arbiter Hall,

that means every moment he spent with you

is deeply imprinted in his mind.

It's so touching.

Come on. Get ready.

At this moment,

you have to hold his hand gently.

Take him past every tree and plant here

to recall the times you spent with him.

What do you think?

It's so corny.

This is called romantic.

Understand?

You aren't romantic at all.

I don't know why the lord likes you.

He's here. I have to go.

Wait, Jieli.

Let me emphasize it again.

No matter what I say or do later,

I do it to escape.

-Don't get me wrong.
-I know. It's just a temporary measure.

Have you fixed the Destiny Book?

I asked you a question.

Not yet.

You keep delaying.

Are you disrespecting me?

Moon Supreme Lord, you are invincible.

You're the best in the world.

Would I dare to disrespect you?

The best in the world?

How do I compare with your Lord Changheng?

Moon Supreme Lord,

you are the strongest in the three realms.

No one can compare with you.

You're sensible.

What?

Do you think that you might die

and now want to flatter me?

I remember that day.

You said

that I was beaten black and blue,

kneeling and begging for mercy.

Wait.

I also made some flower cakes.

Moon Supreme Lord,
would you like to try them?

Is it good?

But the taste

is different from before.

I added the nectar of daylilies to it.

You have been sad recently.

Eating it can cheer you up.

Who told you I was sad?

These days,

whenever I think
of how Shuiyuntian calls me a spy

and no longer welcomes me home,

I feel heartbroken.

You were imprisoned in Haotian Tower
for 30,000 years.

After you got home,

your family didn't welcome you.

How can you not be sad?

Do you mean Xunfeng?

Do you think
that I don't know you're playing tricks?

Fix the Destiny Book now.

Don't go.

Big Blockhead,

I have something to tell you.

Why do you call me Big Blockhead?

Moon Supreme Lord sounds disobliging.

It's scary.

I wouldn't dare to tell you my feelings.

Big Blockhead sounds more intimate.

But if you don't like it,

I won't call you that anymore.

You can call me whatever you want.

What do you want to ask me?

I counted the flowers
in this Arbiter Hall.

There really are 8,452 flowers.

What are you trying to say?

You remember even such a trivial thing.

You remember everything
that happened between us.

Your kindness to me is true.

I am the Moon Supreme.

I am destined to overturn the three realms

and revive the Cangyan Sea.

I told you

that there is no love between us.

I don't believe it.

Do you know what this is?

This is Hellfire,

the most powerful magic
in the three realms.

Aside from Lady Yan,
founder of the Moon Tribe,

you're the only one who can master it.

But do you know

the price that must be paid

to use Hellfire?

The removal of feelings and love.

The eradication of all emotion.

If there is
a shred of emotion in my heart,

I will not have
complete control of Hellfire.

The removal of feelings and love?

That's right.

Whether immortal or human,

all are affected by the seven emotions.

An ancient forbidden technique
was used to remove emotions and love

so that my mood is free from disturbance.

Since then,

even if I were to k*ll my family,

I wouldn't hesitate.

Nor would I fall in love with anyone.

Father! k*ll me, please!

Emotions branch out through the meridians.

When removed, they will regenerate.

If we don't nip them in the bud,

our efforts will be in vain.

Only by removing the root of emotion

can you become

the most powerful in the three realms.

Father!

Now do you understand?

It turns out that

it was your Sea of Emotions
and Seven Emotions Tree.

You know I am devoid of love and emotions,

yet you are not sad

but happy.

Why is that?

So when you said you hated me,

it wasn't true.

Your emotions have just been removed.

You have no choice.

It's not your fault.

Jieli is right.

I should look at your actions instead.

You've done so much for me.

This time, it's my turn.

It's just a Seven Emotions Tree.

You're lucky.

Although I'm a useless fairy,

there are no plants I can't resurrect.

Ridiculous.

My Seven Emotions Tree's roots
have been severed.

Just like an immortal
losing their primordial spirit,

there is no chance of resurrection.

Not to mention
you are a lowly flower spirit.

Even an ancient god

may not be able to do it.

How do you know if you don't try?

My immortal root is damaged.

Everyone said I couldn't pass
the immortal examination.

But not only did I pass,

but I was also the top scorer.

I have wasted half a day with you.

I don't have time for your nonsense.

Daqiang,

I will never give up on you.

An elixir to amplify emotions?

Do you have it?

Yes, I do.

But why do you need that medicine?

What are you going to do?

Jieli.

Jieli.

Jieli.

Why are you leaving?

I'm going to find something that
will give me a fast and painless death.

I thought you had made
the lord fall in love with you.

But who knew he had already removed
his root of emotion?

We're doomed.

Don't panic.

Let's help him cure
his Seven Emotions Tree.

Our lives will be saved

once his root of emotion is recovered.

Besides, he and I are connected

by the One Heart Curse.

If he can experience emotions through me,

his Seven Emotions Tree
will be stimulated.

-Maybe--
-Face reality!

Do you think his Seven Emotions Tree
is the grass in your yard?

Removal of emotions and love is
a legendary ancient forbidden technique.

Jieli, please.

Give me the medicine first, Jieli.

Let go!

What have I done wrong?

Look, here's the thing.

You are buying it on credit.

Thirty spirit stones.

Thirty…

All right, put it on my tab first.

Hey, you still owe me 743 spirit stones!

I haven't even added interest!

As my lord's brother,

Xunfeng should help you revive our tribe

and strengthen the Cangyan Sea.

But now he colluded with Haishi

to usurp power.

It's unforgivable.

First place?

I ranked first in the immortal exam.

I can enter Fountain Palace now!

Fortunately, my lord is both wise, brave,
and prepared in advance.

In an instant,

you thwarted his trickery.

We are deeply impressed
by your lightning-fast action,

my lord.

What is wrong with what I said?

What is she doing?

What is the lord doing?

Xunfeng had ruled
the Cangyan Sea in his place.

It was through force of circumstances,

but he was
the Moon Supreme for 30,000 years.

How could the lord not mind that?

He just has had no chance to punish him.

Now that Xunfeng is seeking death,

the lord can get rid of him justifiably

and naturally feel relieved.

If you're neither an immortal nor a human,

you're from the Moon Tribe.

How could I be from the Moon Tribe?

My lord.

I rebelled against Xunfeng

because I couldn't watch
our tribe be subverted

by an incompetent person.

In my heart,

you are the only Moon Supreme.

I am absolutely loyal to you, my lord.

I suggest

that Xunfeng, the treacherous criminal,

be ex*cuted at once

as a warning to others.

Why is the lord suddenly crying?

Well…

After all, they are family.

k*lling his brother

is not something the lord could bear.

I overstepped my bounds.

I shouldn't have commented about Xunfeng.

The decision is up to you,

my lord.

Get lost!

Go get my You Jade Ring!

I've ordered someone to get it.

It will be here soon.

What are you looking at?

Stop looking!

Or I'll flay your dragon hide!

My lord.

Bring me Orchid.

Yes.

Go.

Moon Supreme Lord.

My lord.

It really has nothing to do with me.

I only sold medicine to her!

Moon Supreme Lord!

Put her down!

She will be strangled to death!

Jieli!

Did you ever consider that she would die

when you played jokes on me?

Moon Supreme Lord!

I was wrong!

It's all my fault!

I won't do it again!

I won't do that anymore!

Put her down!

Jieli. Are you all right?

If you do it again…

Where are you going?

You still want to go
to Cangyan Sea, right?

I don't want to implicate you and Danyin

to be punished by my brother.

Ronghao, you don't need to know anything.

I'll pretend that you didn't come

to the Fountain Palace today.

But I know everything.

I know you love her deeply.

I know you haven't recovered

and are suppressing your brother's seal.

Your energy is spent.

I also know

that if you go to Cangyan Sea alone,

it will be suicide.

So what?

All these years,

my brother only cared about our reputation

and never let me fall in love with anyone.

I thought being indifferent to her

was protecting her.

But because of this ridiculous thought,

I stood by as I watched her suffer.

Now, she is framed as a traitor

and trapped in Cangyan Sea.

How can I not save her?

Changheng.

Ever since my master died,

you have been
the only person I care about.

Do you want to stop me?

You're injured so badly.

It won't be difficult to stop you.

But I won't stop you.

If I had a chance

to save my master,

what do you think I would do?

You would fight to the death.

Even if you must turn against everyone

or defy the laws of heaven,

you would not hesitate.

There you go.
