[bunniefuu]

There are various poisons in this world,

but everything in nature

has its complements and constraints.

The same goes for the poisoning technique.

Just remember the tips I told you

and be cautious.

By using your eyes, nose, hands, tongue,

your observation and sense of smell,

you can always find clues

and nip them in the bud.

All right.

These methods of detecting

and avoiding poison are confidential,

but you're willing to teach me

without any reservations.

I don't know how to express my gratitude.

Your safety is what matters.

We're all friends.

You can spare the courtesy.

I know many people,

but I don't have many friends.

Cheers. To friendship.

Cheers.

Why are you in Qingshui Town?

I have been wandering around

and just ended up here.

Qingshui Town

doesn't belong to any kingdom

and is far from strife.

People here

only care about a hand-to-mouth life

and not a prosperous one.

I like this kind of life,

so I stayed.

You're quite familiar

with Xiang Liu with Nine Lives, right?

Such questions

aren't suitable while drinking.

Then drink a few more before answering.

Xiang Liu

is someone I fear,

but I don't hate him.

He isn't my enemy,

but he also isn't my friend either.

Xiang Liu is too cunning and ambiguous.

Otherwise, I would really like to sit down

and have a drink with him.

What about you?

Are you and Nian

just cousins?

This question

is quite suitable for discussing

over drinks.

Tell me then.

This is my little sister,

Xiaoyao's treasure.

She gave it to me when we parted ways.

She said I could play with it temporarily.

However,

300 years have passed.

Xiaoyao is the daughter

of my aunt and my master.

She was lost when she was little.

They all said she died,

but I always hold onto a glimmer of hope

that she's still alive.

I have been waiting

for her to return for her fox tail.

Nian is also my master's daughter.

I pamper her,

just like I pamper Xiaoyao.

Cheers, Xuan.

Cheers.

Let's sit.

Xiaoliu, your pastries.

I left in such a hurry

that I forgot my money.

Never mind, Xiaoliu.

There's no need to pay.

Consider it my treat.

That is not appropriate.

You really don't need to pay me.

Take it.

Otherwise, I won't dare to come next time.

Thank you, Xiaoliu.

Go ahead.

Why do I always

run into you wherever I go?

Since you bought it, you eat it.

Xiaoliu. Shiqi.

Xuan.

Come on in.

All right.

Xuan.

Shall we play?

Sure.

You just taught me the other day.

I can't wait to play.

Let's play a round.

I meant him, not you.

Are you looking down on me?

I do look down on you a bit.

You make slow moves

and like to undo your moves.

Aren't I asking for trouble

to play chess with you?

You could indulge me

for a few rounds, right?

How about

playing a round with me?

I heard that you excel at music, chess,

calligraphy, and painting

but I never got to play with you.

Should I play with him?

It's up to you.

It's none of my business.

If you say yes, I'll play.

If you say no, I won't play.

I know you two are close,

but playing chess

Who is close to him?

It's none of your business.

Anyway, he listens to you.

Xiaoliu,

let Shiqi play a round with me.

I have heard of his reputation

for a long time,

but never had the chance

to learn from him.

All right, but I want to play too.

Fine.

You move and he gives advice.

Well, we'll see.

Let's play.

I heard the wine here is good.

Let's have a few drinks.

I have been to this place.

Why didn't you call me?

The wine is sold out today.

Come back tomorrow.

SOLD OU

Let's come another day.

Let's go.

Let's come tomorrow night.

I've been waiting for it.

It's your turn.

I think it's better to move here.

All right. Move there.

I will allow you to take it back.

I won't. I've made up my mind.

You let him move randomly.

Is that all right?

That is all right.

Think it over.

You're really interesting, Xuan.

When I want to undo my move,

you don't allow it.

When I don't want to,

you insist on me undoing it.

You've messed it up.

Fine.

Let's see how many moves you can make.

How about this?

You really can make

a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

No.

I want to move here. I like it here.

That would be great.

-All right.

-I suggest you

undo your move.

No. Absolutely no.

Where should I move?

Master Qingqiu,

you truly live up to your reputation.

You managed to save

Xiaoliu's helpless games

over and over again.

I lost.

Winner treats.

I heard that Mr. Stone

will tell a new story today.

-Let's go enjoy tea and listen to it.

-Great.

Wait.

I, the winner, haven't agreed yet.

Losers treat.

-Thank you.

-All right.

Let's go then.

Xuan,

why aren't you happy even though you won?

It's more frustrating than losing.

Your lousy chess skills

make me want to die.

It's really hard for Shiqi

to save you again and again.

If it wasn't for your meddling,

Shiqi could have taken it seriously

and I might not be able to win.

Did you lose because of my moves?

No. Your moves were good.

It was my fault.

Did you hear that?

Make way.

Move.

What happened?

Get out of the way.

Get out of the way.

Let's go.

Who is in the carriage?

It's probably some powerful noble

from a prestigious family.

Even the desperadoes in Qingshui Town

don't dare to mess with them.

Who is it?

Someone powerful?

Why is there a bow and arrow

embroidered on the carriage's curtain?

That's the family crest

of the Fangfeng family.

Their archery skills are handed down.

It's said that their ancestors

could sh**t down stars.

However, they have strict family rules.

Not every disciple is allowed

to use the family crest on their equipment

and there is also

a strict rule about the size.

That bow and arrow may mean

that the person in the carriage

boasts superior archery skills.

The Fangfeng family?

Why does it sound so familiar?

Is the person in the carriage

the soon-to-be second lady

of the Tushan family?

The carriage has the bow

and arrow crest of the Fangfeng family

and the nine-tailed fox crest

of the Tushan family,

so it must be Ms. Fangfeng.

Since your fiancée is here,

we won't disturb your reunion.

Farewell.

Let's go.

This Ms. Fangfeng

can be regarded as

the most infatuated person in the world.

Ten years ago,

Madam Tushan planned to hold a wedding

for the second young master

and Ms. Fangfeng.

They had already distributed

the wedding invitations,

but on the eve of the wedding,

the second young master of Tushan

suddenly fell severely ill,

so the wedding had to be canceled.

The lovers failed to get married.

The patriarch of the Fangfeng family

didn't want his daughter to be a widow

and wanted to cancel the marriage.

Ms. Fangfeng actually ran

to Qingqiu Hill in her wedding dress

and knelt before Madam Tushan.

She said,

"I was born in the Tushan Mansion

and will be buried

in the Tushan family's tomb.

I'm willing to serve Madam Tushan

in place of the second young master."

Madam Tushan was moved

and kept Ms. Fangfeng

in her home.

She let Ms. Fangfeng

assist in internal affairs.

Although because

the second young master was severely ill,

Madam Tushan couldn't make Ms. Fangfeng

her granddaughter-in-law.

So she treated her

like a beloved granddaughter.

Now, the second young master has recovered

and traveled to Qingshui Town.

Ms. Fangfeng also came along.

The marriage of the two

may be around the corner.

There will be another pair of lovers

in Dahuang.

No wonder Ms. Fangfeng

is so adept at archery.

She's determined

and tenacious when it comes to things

she aims for.

True.

Why did you take him in?

Didn't you investigate it?

I did.

I only found out

that he was severely injured

and picked up by you.

As for what kind of severe injuries,

I couldn't find out.

Why are you so concerned about him?

The Tushan family's business

covers the entirety of Dahuang.

He affects the future position

of the Tushan family

and determines whether

the family and I are friends or foes.

Then you should get close to him.

What are you chatting with me for?

He listens to you.

How can you compare

chess to family matters?

He listens to me

because he owes me a life.

So he listens when he wants to.

True.

You should leave Qingshui Town now.

Xiang Liu could appear at any time.

It's nothing

if you think Xiang Liu is formidable,

but you shouldn't regard me as too weak.

Right. You're powerful.

In a one-on-one fight,

I can't rival him.

To be precise, I'm far behind.

However,

what I rely on is here.

Isn't that just bullying with power

and winning by outnumbering?

I'll make it

only when I have the power to rely on

and loyal followers to trust.

Do you think

power doesn't need to be operated

and followers don't need to be cultivated?

It must have been hard for you.

I mean,

these years of enhancing power

and cultivating followers

must have been hard.

Not really.

You have never seen Ms. Fangfeng,

but Ms. Fangfeng's affection for you

are well-known throughout

the entirety of Dahuang.

As Ms. Fangfeng is beautiful

and has a good character,

you will surely like her

when you see her, Young Master.

Greetings, Mr. Tushan.

Ms. Fangfeng.

A decade ago,

you disappeared abruptly.

We didn't know if you were alive.

Madam Tushan has been looking for you

and I was distraught as well.

Thank you for your concern.

Fortunately, you came back safe and sound.

Knowing that, Madam Tushan's mood

has improved considerably.

Now, she eagerly awaits

your return to Qingqiu Hill

for a reunion.

Mr. Tushan,

what has happened all these years?

Why were you missing for ten years?

Madam Tushan said

that she wrote to you several times,

but you didn't answer directly.

I do not remember.

Ms. Fangfeng, you may not know this.

When our young master

recovered his memory,

he was at Rejuvenation Hall.

He really doesn't remember

what truly happened

during the previous years.

It's said that you were severely injured.

What kind of injury was it?

Maybe we can identify some clues from it.

I don't remember.

It's water under the bridge.

Let bygones be bygones.

That's right.

The past doesn't matter.

What matters

is to live well in the future.

Ms. Fangfeng, you're right.

Young Master, Ms. Fangfeng likes archery.

You can design weapons

for Ms. Fangfeng in the future.

Ms. Fangfeng likes sightseeing

and you're good at painting landscapes.

What's more, Ms. Fangfeng

is good at playing chess as well.

Jingye.

Ms. Fangfeng

has been traveling all the way here.

She must be tired.

You should take her back to rest.

Young Master, you're thoughtful.

Ms. Fangfeng,

please follow me

to your bedroom so you can rest.

I'll take my leave.

Mr. Tushan,

you can call me Yiying in the future.

We are family.

There's no need to be so distant.

Madam Tushan is old and frail now.

She likes to see us younger generation

being close and friendly.

Ms. Fangfeng, please follow me.

He has forgotten everything.

Did he really forget everything

or is he holding back

and waiting for other plans?

How clumsy.

Be careful.

Yes.

Miss, this is the best bow in Dahuang.

The young master made efforts

to find phoenix bones and tendons

and had the best craftsman

from the Jintian family

specially make it for you.

Even if you cut it with a sword,

it won't leave a scratch.

I agreed with what you said last time.

I'll cooperate with you then.

Rain keeps pouring

Grass grows tall

Snow covers all

Grass grows tall

Be it sere or in its prime

It surrounds the bones of loyal men

Chenrong's men never yield

MR. LIRONG

It has been a long time.

What brings you here today?

I want to ask you something.

What is it? Say it.

How much do you know about poisonous bugs?

Why are you suddenly asking about them?

Recently, I met a poisonous bug.

It's very strange.

It can make the receiver suffer

the same pain as the one who planted it.

Conversely,

if the receiver is injured,

it has no effect

on the one who planted it.

However, the one who planted it

can neither control the bug at will

nor recall it.

Is the one who planted the bug a girl?

Why are you asking this?

If it is a girl,

it's likely

a pair of Couple Poisonous Bugs

planted for her lover.

Couple Poisonous Bugs?

Rumor has it that

Couple Poisonous Bugs are hard to raise.

If the male and the female

enjoy equal power,

the one who plants them

won't be able to control the bugs.

Wen Xiaoliu,

who are you making that long face for?

Apart from yourself, who would pity you?

In this world, whoever leaves,

life can go on as usual.

When did you get here?

When you were thinking about someone.

I was thinking

when you would come

to get medicine from me.

It seems that I came at the right time.

You should go rest early.

I'll clean them up.

It's all right.

It'll be done soon.

Protect the lord.

Protect Nian.

Whatever happens,

don't let her leave the room.

-Yes.

-Yes.

You're not going to

throw me down from here, are you?

No.

That's good.

How about I use you as a cushion?

No!

My lord, watch out!

My lord!

Mission completed.

You will receive half the credit

and a great reward.

If you want to k*ll me,

do it quickly.

You only have one head.

You can only die once.

If you only die once,

that would be too easy for you.

Does it hurt?

Xuan will hurt.

You have nine brains,

but not a single heart.

You're still worried about the other.

It means you're fine.

The poisonous bugs are not bad,

but they can only make Xuan feel pain.

If you k*ll me and Xuan dies accordingly,

you would k*ll me

without hesitation, right?

Too bad.

I won't.

Is Xuan all right?

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

Your Highness, don't worry.

Fortunately, Jun Yi pushed him away.

As long as the bleeding is stopped,

there shouldn't be any major problems.

This is strange.

I applied hemostatic medicine.

Why can't it stop the bleeding?

Why

Why is he still bleeding?

Hasn't he already been treated?

Xuan.

My lord, bear with it for a bit.

Since you care about Xuan so much,

why don't you remove the bug?

Do you think I don't want to?

I can't.

I have been trying

to recall the bug from his body

but I keep failing.

You're a demon.

Demons and bugs are friends,

so you must have some understanding

of poisonous bugs, right?

If you don't want to die,

don't recall the bug by force.

The only method

is to lure the bug to someone else's body

to scourge the person.

The only one I want to scourge is you.

The only one you want to scourge is me?

I'll k*ll Xuan

before he leaves Qingshui Town,

so you don't have to worry

about how to solve it.

Can you restore Chenrong by k*lling him?

No.

Has Xuan ever been to the b*ttlefield

and k*lled the soldiers of Chenrong?

No.

Do you have a personal grudge against him?

No either.

Then why do you want to k*ll him

since none of those is true?

Just because

he's the grandson of the King of Xiyan?

It's a matter of position.

Now that I know

the grandson of the King of Xiyan

is around me,

if I don't k*ll him,

it seems that

I'll have a terrible conscience.

Do you even have a conscience?

I do have a bit for Chenrong.

How ridiculous.

Yes, it is.

So much so that I feel pitiful myself.

If I didn't have this bit of conscience,

maybe I would go

and talk to the King of Xiyan

and help him destroy Haoling.

I wonder what kind of person Hong Jiang is

that he could make you,

a demon, grow a conscience.

He's a fool.

A pitiful fool.

Leading a group of fools

to do pitiful things.

I think the biggest fool is you.

You're the fool.

You're the most pathetic.

They aren't fools.

They do these things willingly.

They firmly believe

they can console their ancestors

and be accountable to their descendants.

When they die,

they are resolute and passionate,

full of righteous indignation.

Unlike you,

who despises it while doing it.

I have nine heads, you know.

That's why I'm complex and contradictory.

Didn't you always say

that you hate it

when others call you Nine-Headed Demon?

That's your taboo.

Whoever mentions it, you will k*ll them.

But you're still alive.

For now.

What I hate

is not them talking about me

being Nine-Headed Demon,

but their underlying contempt.

I allow you to mention it

because

Because you make fun of it

with your mouth,

but in your heart,

you never think

that Nine-Headed Demon is weird.

I used to be weirder than you.

Is that why you hid deep in the mountains

and dared not see anyone?
