[Episode 24: Zhao Hai (2)]
**[00:04] ---**
Sir.
**[00:06] ---**
If I had come here earlier,
**[00:09] ---**
would the people beside me
**[00:10] ---**
have lived better lives?
**[00:12] ---**
Fate is fixed.
**[00:14] ---**
But you knew you would
only live for 30 years.
**[00:19] ---**
Why get involved with that Lady Fate?
**[00:27] ---**
Amitabha.
**[00:32] ---**
Master.
**[00:33] ---**
She left with Shanhai.
**[00:35] ---**
Do you want me to go?
**[00:36] ---**
Zhao Hai.
**[00:38] ---**
You've been with me for 20 years, right?
**[00:40] ---**
22 years.
**[00:42] ---**
You saved me from a clam
spirit when you were eight.
**[00:50] ---**
You once said
**[00:52] ---**
you can provide a path to life.
**[00:54] ---**
One life,
**[00:55] ---**
one person,
**[00:56] ---**
one path.
**[00:58] ---**
Alright.
**[00:59] ---**
That's enough.
**[01:03] ---**
Master, what are you doing?
**[01:06] ---**
From now on,
**[01:08] ---**
you'll look after them for me.
**[01:10] ---**
But…
**[01:25] ---**
If I had more energy,
**[01:27] ---**
I could make you look better.
**[01:32] ---**
Master!
**[01:35] ---**
Hide the news of my death
**[01:37] ---**
for as long as you can.
**[01:40] ---**
Why?
**[01:45] ---**
She's too weak.
**[01:47] ---**
I fear that knowledge of
my death would make her…
**[01:51] ---**
But hatred,
**[01:52] ---**
intense hatred,
**[01:55] ---**
will let her carry on with our daughter.
**[01:57] ---**
But she'll know eventually.
**[02:02] ---**
That's alright.
**[02:04] ---**
You'll be there.
**[02:05] ---**
Also…
**[02:11] ---**
Master!
**[02:29] ---**
It's so lively! Let's watch!
**[02:44] ---**
It's a joyous day for Boss Wen!
**[02:46] ---**
He's giving out money!
**[02:47] ---**
As expected of the richest man here!
**[02:50] ---**
I hear the bride is gorgeous!
**[02:52] ---**
No wonder Boss Wen was
willing to spend this much!
**[02:54] ---**
But I heard she has a daughter
from a past marriage.
**[03:12] ---**
Taking off my veil now
**[03:14] ---**
isn't very polite, is it?
**[03:18] ---**
I just couldn't resist coming to see you.
**[03:23] ---**
You agreed to wait.
**[03:24] ---**
100 days.
**[03:26] ---**
Why wait?
**[03:28] ---**
After the ceremony,
**[03:29] ---**
you'll belong to me!
**[03:30] ---**
But you already promised.
**[03:33] ---**
Are you not afraid
**[03:34] ---**
of divine punishment?
**[03:37] ---**
Um…
**[03:38] ---**
Does that mean
**[03:39] ---**
she married him because…
**[03:41] ---**
Don't worry.
**[03:42] ---**
Once 100 days have passed,
**[03:44] ---**
[98 days]
**[03:45] ---**
I'll know what I should do.
**[03:49] ---**
Fine!
**[03:50] ---**
100 days it is!
**[04:10] ---**
Mother!
**[04:17] ---**
What's wrong, Shanhai?
**[04:18] ---**
They said
**[04:19] ---**
you won't want me anymore
**[04:21] ---**
after you marry him.
**[04:23] ---**
Silly goose.
**[04:25] ---**
I would never abandon you.
**[04:27] ---**
Really?
**[04:28] ---**
When have I ever lied?
**[04:30] ---**
But you lied to him.
**[04:33] ---**
Who?
**[04:34] ---**
Lord Wen.
**[04:35] ---**
He won't be able to wait 100 days.
**[04:39] ---**
You looked again?
**[04:40] ---**
Did you look again?
**[04:41] ---**
Didn't I tell you to not to do that anymore?
**[04:44] ---**
It… it wasn't on purpose.
**[04:47] ---**
You're human, Shanhai.
**[04:49] ---**
Remember. You're human!
**[04:51] ---**
With blood and flesh,
**[04:53] ---**
eating grains
**[04:54] ---**
and experiencing the seasons.
**[04:56] ---**
And you'll one day be a
lady of the Wen family!
**[05:01] ---**
Never use your powers again.
**[05:03] ---**
Promise me!
**[05:06] ---**
Okay.
**[05:09] ---**
I'll definitely think of a way
**[05:11] ---**
for you to leave your life as a spirit.
**[05:14] ---**
I promise. I promise.
**[05:18] ---**
She hasn't changed.
**[05:19] ---**
She…
**[05:21] ---**
hasn't changed at all.
**[05:24] ---**
A Lady Fate's eyes are never wrong.
**[05:27] ---**
Three months later,
**[05:28] ---**
Boss Wen died in an accident,
**[05:30] ---**
leaving behind a widow
who inherited his riches.
**[05:36] ---**
Don't run!
**[05:38] ---**
I'll kill you!
**[05:40] ---**
This is it, Madame!
**[05:41] ---**
There are too many bandits!
**[05:42] ---**
We can't get away!
**[05:43] ---**
Let's beg for mercy!
**[05:44] ---**
Little lady,
**[05:45] ---**
there's no road ahead!
**[05:46] ---**
Just stop!
**[05:50] ---**
These criminals are ruthless!
**[05:52] ---**
They won't show mercy.
**[05:53] ---**
Throw everything off!
**[05:54] ---**
Okay!
**[05:58] ---**
Come play with us, little girl!
**[06:00] ---**
Stop running!
**[06:15] ---**
Damn!
**[06:29] ---**
Mother, you're bleeding.
**[06:31] ---**
Shh, don't make any noise.
**[06:33] ---**
Turn invisible right now.
**[06:35] ---**
But Mother, didn't you say…
**[06:44] ---**
Remember.
**[06:45] ---**
No matter what happens,
**[06:46] ---**
don't make a sound.
**[06:48] ---**
They may not look like monsters,
**[06:50] ---**
but human hearts are sinister.
**[06:56] ---**
Look! The Wen family's beauty.
**[06:59] ---**
Wow,
**[07:00] ---**
she does look like a treat.
**[07:03] ---**
Boss Wen sure knew how to live well.
**[07:05] ---**
This is a fantastic haul.
**[07:06] ---**
Wealth and pleasure both!
**[07:08] ---**
Wait.
**[07:09] ---**
She's supposed to have a daughter.
**[07:11] ---**
Search!
**[07:12] ---**
Don't let the girl get away and report us!
**[07:21] ---**
Tell us where she is!
**[07:27] ---**
Mother!
**[07:28] ---**
Shanhai!
**[07:36] ---**
It's… a spirit!
**[07:39] ---**
Hmph.
**[07:44] ---**
She's a spirit, huh?
**[07:46] ---**
Then this woman must be as well!
**[07:48] ---**
Kill them!
**[07:51] ---**
[Death]
**[08:00] ---**
What was that?
**[08:01] ---**
Come on, kill them!
**[08:24] ---**
Mother!
**[08:27] ---**
We can't stay here.
**[08:29] ---**
Do you know how to ride?
**[08:30] ---**
You…
**[08:32] ---**
won't ask about our identities?
**[08:37] ---**
Whatever you are,
**[08:39] ---**
it doesn't matter to me.
**[08:40] ---**
Be careful from now on.
**[08:43] ---**
Otherwise,
**[08:44] ---**
someone will worry.
**[08:48] ---**
And who would that be?
**[08:52] ---**
Savior,
**[08:53] ---**
we came here unaccompanied
**[08:56] ---**
and want to live near Xiangyang City.
**[08:58] ---**
I'm in need of a careful, faithful steward.
**[09:02] ---**
Would you
**[09:03] ---**
be interested?
**[09:10] ---**
I finally got a chance to stay by their side.
**[09:14] ---**
Madame Wen soon sold her property
**[09:17] ---**
and brought Shanhai to live in Tianshui Town.
**[09:21] ---**
It's Xiangyang City!
**[09:27] ---**
Hey, Steward Qin,
**[09:29] ---**
you should talk Madame Wen out of this.
**[09:32] ---**
Why would anyone build a residence here?
**[09:34] ---**
It's bad luck.
**[09:35] ---**
She doesn't care about such things.
**[09:39] ---**
Luck, wealth, and what others think
**[09:42] ---**
are all unimportant.
**[09:44] ---**
She moved to Tianshui Town
**[09:46] ---**
to avoid Xiangyang City itself
**[09:49] ---**
but still be close to Cloudsea Temple.
**[09:52] ---**
Master!
**[09:54] ---**
Zhao Hai…
**[09:56] ---**
Bring my soul incense to her.
**[10:00] ---**
No!
**[10:00] ---**
When the incense burns out,
your soul will be destroyed,
**[10:03] ---**
never to exist again!
**[10:07] ---**
And so what?
**[10:10] ---**
As long as I can stay with
her for a little longer,
**[10:12] ---**
I can be satisfied with living just one life.
**[10:17] ---**
No!
**[10:20] ---**
Master!
**[10:26] ---**
In the days that followed,
**[10:28] ---**
I heeded my master's wishes
**[10:30] ---**
and protected the two of them.
**[10:57] ---**
I hid master's incense
**[10:58] ---**
deep within the residence.
**[11:00] ---**
That way, other spirits kept their distance,
**[11:03] ---**
and the remnants of Master's soul
**[11:05] ---**
could stay for a long time
with the one he loved.
**[11:11] ---**
I couldn't bear to shatter her dream.
**[11:14] ---**
Until…
**[11:15] ---**
Cleansing her blood…
**[11:20] ---**
I have a way.
**[11:23] ---**
That stupid incense
**[11:24] ---**
stopped even me!
**[11:26] ---**
Soul incense can ward off evil,
**[11:28] ---**
but it only works on spirits.
**[11:30] ---**
That crone is a human,
**[11:31] ---**
so she wasn't affected.
**[11:33] ---**
Soul incense?
**[11:34] ---**
Those with superior skills
**[11:36] ---**
can sacrifice themselves
**[11:38] ---**
by burning their bodies
**[11:39] ---**
to create soul incense,
**[11:41] ---**
also called life incense.
**[11:43] ---**
They burn their souls
while they're still alive?
**[11:45] ---**
Yes,
**[11:46] ---**
so such incense is very rare.
**[11:48] ---**
Too few are willing to sacrifice
themselves for others.
**[11:52] ---**
But in the end,
**[11:53] ---**
our Lady Fate didn't know
that the man she hated
**[11:55] ---**
actually never left.
**[11:57] ---**
Jing Zhe also wouldn't know
**[11:59] ---**
that the one he loves, because
of his last decision,
**[12:02] ---**
would end up like this.
**[12:04] ---**
She didn't change.
**[12:05] ---**
She used money to buy lives.
**[12:07] ---**
How is that similar to the
kind spirit she once was?
**[12:10] ---**
Kindness doesn't put food on the table.
**[12:12] ---**
But Madame would never hurt
**[12:13] ---**
those who had long lives left.
**[12:15] ---**
She would even find treatment for them.
**[12:17] ---**
If even that is wrong,
**[12:18] ---**
then what about the sellers?
**[12:21] ---**
At the very least,
**[12:22] ---**
Madame worked hard for Shanhai
**[12:24] ---**
to change her fate as a spirit.
**[12:26] ---**
But…
**[12:28] ---**
But she never asked Shanhai
if she was willing.
**[12:32] ---**
So what if she's a spirit?
**[12:34] ---**
Who says you must be human to be happy?!
**[12:37] ---**
She said she doesn't think
it's shameful to be a spirit,
**[12:40] ---**
and foreseeing death
**[12:41] ---**
only makes her treasure life more!
**[12:44] ---**
But because Madame Wen's
feelings ended in failure,
**[12:46] ---**
she forcibly distorted Shanhai's life!
**[12:50] ---**
Shanhai's father also wronged her.
**[12:52] ---**
If he loved them,
**[12:53] ---**
why did he use such a cruel
method to make them strong?
**[12:56] ---**
Couldn't he have just spent
his last days with them?
**[13:00] ---**
You might think he was being merciful,
**[13:02] ---**
but actually,
**[13:04] ---**
he was just a selfish bastard!
**[13:10] ---**
Shanhai had so many things she wanted to do,
**[13:14] ---**
places to go,
**[13:15] ---**
and people to see.
**[13:18] ---**
But you made her lose everything.
**[13:28] ---**
I'm a Zhao Hai.
**[13:30] ---**
I know.
**[13:31] ---**
Born in the deep sea and able to grant life.
**[13:34] ---**
By shattering and consuming
you, even death can be reset.
**[13:37] ---**
You're a rare spirit.
**[13:39] ---**
So…
**[13:40] ---**
Are you willing to help me save Shanhai?
**[13:44] ---**
The final use of a Zhao Hai
**[13:46] ---**
is to give life to someone else.
**[13:48] ---**
But only one person in one life.
**[13:51] ---**
If it's for Shanhai,
**[13:53] ---**
I'm willing.
**[13:55] ---**
But I'm not willing.
**[13:57] ---**
You're so rare that even
I can't bear to use you.
**[13:59] ---**
Though you want to sacrifice yourself.
**[14:02] ---**
I won't do it.
**[14:13] ---**
You love her?
**[14:16] ---**
I love all three of them.
**[14:19] ---**
Jing Zhe is my master,
**[14:21] ---**
Shanhai is like my daughter,
**[14:23] ---**
and Madame Wen…
**[14:26] ---**
Lady Fate…
**[14:31] ---**
Why kick us out?
**[14:32] ---**
What are you doing?
**[14:32] ---**
Little monk,
What are you doing?
**[14:33] ---**
Don't worry.
**[14:34] ---**
Go save Rolly.
**[14:38] ---**
But…
**[14:39] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:40] ---**
Rolly's definitely hurting.
**[14:41] ---**
You're his owner, but you
don't seem worried at all.
**[14:44] ---**
That's not true!
**[14:45] ---**
Of course I'm worried!
**[14:46] ---**
It's just…
**[14:47] ---**
Come on.
**[14:56] ---**
I'm sorry, Shanhai.
**[14:59] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:01] ---**
It's all my fault.
**[15:02] ---**
This is… Shanhai?
**[15:05] ---**
May I hold her?
**[15:10] ---**
Shanhai,
**[15:12] ---**
you'll grow up again soon.
**[15:14] ---**
Make sure you become a happy girl.
**[15:15] ---**
Who cares if you're a spirit or a human?
**[15:18] ---**
Don't worry.
**[15:19] ---**
This time,
**[15:20] ---**
I won't make such a mess again.
**[15:22] ---**
Otherwise, I would disappoint Zhao Hai.
**[15:26] ---**
Also,
**[15:27] ---**
about taking care of them…
**[15:29] ---**
Enough.
**[15:29] ---**
If after all this,
**[15:31] ---**
they still don't know how to live on,
**[15:33] ---**
nobody can help them.
**[15:35] ---**
Alright.
**[15:36] ---**
Then that's that.
**[15:42] ---**
Going back in time
**[15:43] ---**
to the beginning.
**[15:44] ---**
Steward Qin said he's caged in the bedroom.
**[15:45] ---**
Not everyone has such good fortune.
Steward Qin said he's caged in the bedroom.
**[15:47] ---**
Steward Qin said he's caged in the bedroom.
**[15:47] ---**
Live well.
**[15:49] ---**
Thank you, Miss Tao Yao.
**[15:51] ---**
How can I repay you?
**[15:55] ---**
I heard you donated your
wealth to a hospital.
**[15:58] ---**
Most of it.
**[16:00] ---**
But please,
**[16:01] ---**
help yourself to the rest.
**[16:02] ---**
It's fine.
**[16:04] ---**
Raising a child is hard. Keep
it and buy good food for her.
**[16:08] ---**
But…
**[16:09] ---**
Alternatively,
**[16:10] ---**
just treat it as an early
betrothal gift from Moya.
**[16:15] ---**
Let's go.
**[16:16] ---**
You'll have to wait a bunch
of years before you can marry.
**[16:20] ---**
So why dawdle right now?
**[16:22] ---**
Tao Yao, watch what you say!
**[16:25] ---**
What is this?
**[16:28] ---**
This is…
**[16:53] ---**
I don't understand part of it.
**[16:55] ---**
Which part?
**[16:57] ---**
That crone's spells were perfectly cast.
**[16:59] ---**
How did Moya get out?
**[17:01] ---**
Fortune favors fools.
**[17:04] ---**
I'm being serious.
**[17:06] ---**
The caster was connected to both worlds.
**[17:09] ---**
If she died,
**[17:11] ---**
Moya's soul could've gotten stuck forever,
**[17:14] ---**
so I couldn't dare make a move
**[17:15] ---**
until she undid the spell on her own.
**[17:18] ---**
But there was a second approach,
**[17:20] ---**
creating backlash from the inside.
**[17:22] ---**
As long as the caster's world
is destroyed in one go,
**[17:26] ---**
the source of the backlash
can be forcibly expelled.
**[17:28] ---**
Understand?
**[17:29] ---**
So you mean…
**[17:31] ---**
Moya was the source of the backlash?
**[17:33] ---**
He has that ability?
**[17:34] ---**
Moya has nine lives' worth of blessings.
**[17:36] ---**
That's nothing to sneeze at.
**[17:38] ---**
Otherwise, you wouldn't
be so intent on eating him
**[17:40] ---**
to improve your cultivation,
**[17:41] ---**
right?
**[17:43] ---**
What a joke.
**[17:44] ---**
He's been a monk in nine lives, that's all.
**[17:47] ---**
If not for his purity,
**[17:48] ---**
what use would he be?
**[17:50] ---**
Have you ever wondered
**[17:51] ---**
why Moya has always looked like a child?
**[17:54] ---**
That person once said
**[17:56] ---**
that beneath Moya's nine lives as a monk,
**[17:59] ---**
something else may be hidden.
**[18:01] ---**
But all this is just conjecture.
**[18:03] ---**
If the backlash had failed…
**[18:05] ---**
Then I'd be left on my lonesome.
**[18:07] ---**
Tao Yao!
**[18:08] ---**
This boatman says he can give us a free trip!
**[18:17] ---**
Don't just go talking to strangers!
**[18:19] ---**
Have you already forgotten
about getting kidnapped?
**[18:32] ---**
What's wrong?
**[18:32] ---**
The Hundred Spirit Record's aura
**[18:34] ---**
has never been so strong.
**[18:36] ---**
What?
**[18:37] ---**
It's close by?
**[18:38] ---**
No.
**[18:39] ---**
In that direction.
**[18:40] ---**
Five hundred miles or so.
**[18:43] ---**
Isn't that Bianjing?
**[18:45] ---**
Sir, sir!
**[18:46] ---**
Can you take us to Bianjing for free, too?
**[18:50] ---**
We have to pay?
**[18:51] ---**
That much?!
