[00:13] ---
Oh, I know.
[00:15] ---
The porridge must be too bland, miss.
[00:20] ---
Some more soy sauce will make it better.
[00:22] ---
More soy sauce.
[00:23] ---
More soy sauce.
[00:40] ---
Auntie Yun, your palm features are nice.
[00:43] ---
You're blessed.
[00:46] ---
Miss, you know how to read palms?
[00:48] ---
Come, sit.
[00:50] ---
My father tells fortunes,
[00:52] ---
so he influenced me.
[00:53] ---
I know a little about reading palms.
[00:57] ---
That's great.
[00:58] ---
Then, I'll trouble you to take a look.
[01:02] ---
What would you like to know?
[01:04] ---
Wealth?
[01:05] ---
Marriage?
[01:10] ---
Then… marriage.
[01:14] ---
Okay.
[01:18] ---
Auntie Yun,
[01:19] ---
looks like you've had a rough life.
[01:21] ---
I'm afraid your death looks grim.
[01:23] ---
As for marriage,
[01:24] ---
it dissipated long ago.
[01:28] ---
Miss, what nonsense is that?
[01:30] ---
My husband and I
[01:31] ---
are harmonious!
[01:32] ---
You're trying to curse me
[01:33] ---
by saying that!
[01:35] ---
Nonsense!
[01:36] ---
Nonsense!
[01:37] ---
You're cursing her.
[01:38] ---
Cursing her.
[01:43] ---
You ask for what you don't have.
[01:46] ---
Your husband is there,
[01:47] ---
but you're not anymore.
[01:56] ---
Miss, you're so strange.
[01:58] ---
You keep saying…
[02:07] ---
I-I won't argue with you today.
[02:10] ---
Leave, quickly.
[02:11] ---
Leave!
[02:22] ---
You deserved it, Mother Bug,
[02:25] ---
so you guys can only shut up.
[02:35] ---
Why does it hurt and itch so much?!
[02:37] ---
W-What did you to do me?
[02:46] ---
I just used some pesticide.
[02:51] ---
Your food stall
[02:52] ---
needs to be cleaned thoroughly.
[03:19] ---
Stupid girl,
[03:20] ---
why were you the only one who didn’t eat?
[03:32] ---
Ah.
[03:33] ---
Is this how you do business?
[03:35] ---
A graceful me
[03:36] ---
never fights with others.
[03:41] ---
Because before they can make a move on me,
[03:44] ---
the opponent is already dead.
[04:24] ---
Wishing under the moonlight? Pfft.
[04:26] ---
More like an evil aura under the moonlight.
[04:38] ---
I finally got it!
[04:42] ---
What is that?
[04:43] ---
Answer.
[04:45] ---
It's the Answer Bug you mentioned before.
[04:51] ---
Yes.
[04:52] ---
Let's say an extremely humble person dies.
[04:54] ---
If their bones are buried under a sacred tree
[04:57] ---
while soaked in groundwater,
[04:58] ---
Answer Bugs will breed.
[05:00] ---
This bug will do anything to multiply.
[05:03] ---
Its victims must follow the Mother Bug
[05:06] ---
and echo its words.
[05:09] ---
Wait!
[05:10] ---
So you're saying
[05:11] ---
we all ate its eggs?
[05:13] ---
No.
[05:14] ---
It's larvae.
[05:21] ---
Auntie Yun was obviously a decayed corpse,
[05:24] ---
But you treated her as an living woman.
[05:27] ---
She served bad soup,
[05:29] ---
yet you all ate it with relish.
[05:31] ---
Even when she said Rolly was a dog,
[05:33] ---
none of you corrected her.
[05:36] ---
This bug's toxicity
[05:38] ---
isn't normal.
[05:40] ---
If you knew that,
[05:41] ---
then why did you let us?
[05:42] ---
If I didn't,
[05:43] ---
I was afraid she'd be alerted.
[05:45] ---
You…!
[05:46] ---
Only her unawareness
[05:47] ---
allowed me to sprinkle the pesticide.
[05:51] ---
You…!
[05:52] ---
You…!
[05:53] ---
Anyways, didn't you enjoy it?
[06:00] ---
Tao Yao, that's too much.
[06:03] ---
What will we do in the future?
[06:05] ---
Don't worry.
[06:06] ---
The larvae are wasted once the Mother dies,
[06:09] ---
and only some will suffer from its toxins.
[06:11] ---
The toxins would only activate for those
[06:13] ---
who were already humble.
[06:15] ---
They'll turn into
[06:16] ---
whatever others say they are.
[06:30] ---
Since it's so disgusting,
[06:32] ---
why are you taking it?
[06:33] ---
Disgusting?
[06:35] ---
This is an extremely rare ingredient.
[06:37] ---
It's too hard to find a sacred tree.
[06:39] ---
No wonder you decided to save humans.
[06:41] ---
So it was just for that!
[06:42] ---
Of course.
[06:43] ---
When I use it on the Thunder God one day,
[06:46] ---
we'll be harmonious for 100 years!
[06:53] ---
She's crazy.
[06:55] ---
Keep your distance!
[06:59] ---
Wait, look!
[07:05] ---
That's…
[07:06] ---
a UFO?
[07:08] ---
Amitabha.
[07:10] ---
I humbly apologize.
[07:11] ---
The spirit is the culprit,
[07:12] ---
and Auntie Yun is unrelated.
[07:14] ---
Tao Yao, let's save her.
[07:16] ---
Did you just meet me?
[07:18] ---
I've only saved spirits, not humans.
[07:21] ---
But if her resentment remains,
[07:22] ---
and becomes a UFO,
[07:23] ---
reincarnation won't happen!
[07:28] ---
Scram, scram.
[07:29] ---
How am I tied to this?
[07:30] ---
You…
[07:31] ---
If you ask me,
[07:32] ---
it's better to clean it up thoroughly.
[07:38] ---
There's
[07:39] ---
a sacred tree right here.
[07:42] ---
If we leave the UFO alone,
[07:44] ---
something harmful might still happen.
[07:46] ---
Hmph.
[07:47] ---
What's more,
[07:48] ---
if the Thunder God was going to marry you,
[07:51] ---
and the corpse you abandoned became a spirit,
[07:53] ---
wouldn't he strike both you
and the spirit with thunder?
[08:02] ---
Rolly,
[08:03] ---
look at the UFO.
[08:05] ---
Do you want to eat it?
[08:29] ---
Then… marriage.
[08:32] ---
So that's why you're shackled.
[08:36] ---
I'll save her.
[08:37] ---
I'll start chanting sutras.
[08:40] ---
Go, go.
[08:40] ---
Don't interfere.
[08:46] ---
With a lingering regret
comes a thousand knots.
[09:00] ---
Tell me your story.
[09:02] ---
Why are you trapped?
[09:06] ---
I'm waiting.
[09:10] ---
A phoenix's body, without its wings,
[09:13] ---
our hearts are linked as one.
[09:19] ---
The family is wealthy,
[09:20] ---
and his uncle manages stonewares.
[09:22] ---
This beautiful marriage
[09:23] ---
isn't something anyone can get!
[09:25] ---
Yes, yes.
[09:26] ---
Thank you, Madam Wang.
[09:28] ---
Yun, what do you think?
[09:30] ---
Yun?
[09:33] ---
Say something.
[09:34] ---
Father, I have someone in my heart already.
[09:37] ---
I won't marry anyone else.
[09:40] ---
How disgraceful!
[09:41] ---
Hey, landlord Xu,
[09:42] ---
this time, it's not that I didn't help.
[09:45] ---
She's a girl,
[09:46] ---
you need to control her!
[09:47] ---
Hey, don't leave!
[09:49] ---
Madam Wang…
[09:50] ---
Madam Wang!
[09:52] ---
That merchant family's young lord…
[09:53] ---
I…!
[09:58] ---
He's
[10:00] ---
the only one I trust in this life.
[10:02] ---
I willingly gave him everything.
[10:31] ---
I'm glad it's you.
[10:33] ---
If the men Father hired came first,
[10:35] ---
then I couldn't leave with you.
[10:37] ---
Feiyun,
[10:38] ---
are you really willing to home for me?
[10:42] ---
When I become successful,
[10:44] ---
I'll definitely marry you lavishly.
[10:46] ---
Okay.
[10:58] ---
The spring flowers and
autumn moon enter a poem.
[11:01] ---
During daytime, night is a free immortal…
[11:04] ---
Ow.
[11:10] ---
What's wrong?
[11:11] ---
How'd it get like this?
[11:12] ---
It's fine, just a small injury.
[11:15] ---
Back then, the servants at
home would do this instead.
[11:17] ---
I've troubled you.
[11:19] ---
Why don't we go out and eat?
[11:21] ---
We can't eat out for every meal.
[11:23] ---
The silver we brought is almost used up.
[11:26] ---
Alright.
[11:27] ---
Focus on your studies.
[11:28] ---
Leave everything at home to me.
[11:39] ---
Where does the butterfly land?
[11:42] ---
Upon pavilions or the blooming flowers?
[11:47] ---
Butterflies usually fly alone,
[11:50] ---
so it is rare to see them together.
[11:54] ---
The butterflies must fear the sparrow,
[11:58] ---
but the bees they pay no heed.
[12:01] ---
For where there is the
sweet smell of flowers,
[12:04] ---
in that direction they will go.
[12:08] ---
Though beautiful, their nature is cold,
[12:11] ---
but their beauty is heightened
by flower's scent.
[12:15] ---
They fly clearly amidst the flora,
[12:18] ---
but they never rest upon any flower for long.
[12:22] ---
Though darkness falls, they continue to fly,
[12:25] ---
and though spring is ending,
they flutter still.
[12:29] ---
The fall wind blows, but the hibiscus remain,
[12:33] ---
and as winter draws nears,
they fly with vigor yet.
[13:01] ---
Feiyun, why are you sighing?
[13:05] ---
It's nothing.
[13:06] ---
No need to worry.
[13:08] ---
Hmph.
[13:42] ---
You visited Landlord Liu two days ago.
[13:44] ---
Did it go well?
[13:45] ---
Hmph.
[13:47] ---
I wish you didn't mention it.
[13:48] ---
The two sons of the Liu family
[13:50] ---
don't even deserve to study with me!
[13:52] ---
Yet they want me to be a book boy?
[13:54] ---
But you finally found something to do.
[13:56] ---
They say Landlord Liu pays generously.
[13:58] ---
Shut up!
[13:58] ---
What does a mere woman know?
[14:00] ---
I have proper talent,
[14:02] ---
so why would I bow for buckets of rice?
[14:04] ---
The shop won't sell us
rice on credit anymore.
[14:06] ---
Tsk.
[14:07] ---
Deal with these trivial matters yourself.
[14:09] ---
You're always annoying me.
[14:11] ---
How will I ever excel?
[14:13] ---
Don't you still have a gold hairpin?
[14:15] ---
Pawn it!
[14:19] ---
N-No.
[14:20] ---
My mother left this behind.
[14:22] ---
Didn't you cut ties with your family already?
[14:25] ---
Have they even cared
about us all these years?
[14:27] ---
That year, my father was just angry.
[14:29] ---
Now, he says if you have status,
[14:31] ---
then maybe he'll acknowledge us.
[14:40] ---
Status?
[14:41] ---
Status again?
[14:42] ---
Are you trying to force me to death?
[14:44] ---
It doesn't have to be a big deal.
[14:46] ---
Even if it's just a written
marriage contract…
[14:49] ---
I still value my pride, even if you don't.
[14:51] ---
How can marrying a wife
be done so carelessly?
[14:54] ---
At least wait until I get results.
[15:22] ---
Okay.
[15:24] ---
I'll wait.
[15:37] ---
Hmph.
[15:43] ---
Showing yourself in public? How disgraceful!
[15:48] ---
Hmph.
[15:50] ---
Prepare a decent gift
[15:51] ---
on the third of next month.
[15:53] ---
If I win that person's favor this time,
[15:55] ---
maybe I can get an official title.
[15:59] ---
Finally… I've waited for so long!
[16:29] ---
Would the wait be worth it?
[16:31] ---
Of course.
[16:34] ---
I've even prepared the gift.
[16:36] ---
Will you get what you want?
[16:39] ---
I can.
[16:40] ---
I…
[16:45] ---
Will you
[16:46] ---
get what you want?
[16:49] ---
Aren't…
[16:50] ---
Aren't I…
[16:52] ---
still waiting?
[17:12] ---
So destitute.
[17:14] ---
Sir, you've been through a lot.
[17:17] ---
There's no joy in a life of studying.
[17:19] ---
Don't worry. Now, it'll be different.
[17:21] ---
Father has visited the
Minister of Appointments,
[17:23] ---
so if anything is missing…
[17:28] ---
W-Why are you here?
[17:39] ---
She's my maid who cleans and cooks.
[17:41] ---
Usually, she doesn't come at this time.
[17:43] ---
Auntie Yun, are you not
opening the stall today?
[17:46] ---
"Yun"…
[17:47] ---
Oh, right.
[17:48] ---
This is my fiancee.
[17:53] ---
No!
[18:05] ---
Turns out
[18:07] ---
he wasn't going to come.
[18:12] ---
But you're still waiting.
[18:18] ---
I thought
[18:20] ---
he would turn around to look at me once more.
[20:05] ---
The Book of Life and Death says
[20:07] ---
her name is Xu Feiyun,
[20:09] ---
from Luoyang.
[20:10] ---
30 years ago, she eloped with a talented man.
[20:13] ---
That scholar memorized a bunch of holy books,
[20:16] ---
but he deceived her of
[20:17] ---
both her money and body.
[20:19] ---
Upon her suicide,
[20:20] ---
he already left to take office.
[20:22] ---
Even her corpse was buried
hastily by passing villagers.
[20:26] ---
What happened after?
[20:27] ---
Amitabha.
[20:29] ---
That man surely received retribution.
[20:31] ---
Retribution?
[20:31] ---
Hmph.
[20:32] ---
You're too naive.
[20:33] ---
He's doing well now.
[20:35] ---
How's that possible?
[20:36] ---
Did your Underworld friends
[20:37] ---
get the wrong person?
[20:39] ---
No way.
[20:40] ---
The info was correct.
[20:42] ---
There's even a portrait!
[20:45] ---
After abandoning her,
[20:46] ---
he married into a rich family
[20:47] ---
and became a high-ranking official.
[20:49] ---
Now, he's so well off
that he looks like this!
[20:58] ---
Give it!
[20:59] ---
Ugh.
[21:01] ---
Eloping with a beautiful man
[21:03] ---
is something I get,
[21:04] ---
but after wandering for so many years,
[21:06] ---
you were waiting for a pig's glance back?
[21:09] ---
Tao Yao, Auntie Yun has been
through so much already.
[21:12] ---
Stop scolding her!
[21:13] ---
But no one else will!
[21:15] ---
If being an Answer Bug
[21:17] ---
means you can keep what you want,
[21:20] ---
then it's too easy
[21:22] ---
to continue living.
[21:34] ---
Thank you for saving her, Doctor Tao.
[21:36] ---
You're welcome.
[21:37] ---
Has your sister recovered?
[21:39] ---
Yes.
[21:40] ---
That's not all,
[21:41] ---
she even lost over ten pounds.
[21:42] ---
She's feasting for three days to celebrate.
[21:48] ---
Careful that she doesn't gain 20 pounds back.
[21:57] ---
She also said that
[21:58] ---
she wants to find an ideal husband
like Mr. Liu in the future.
[22:01] ---
Hmph.
[22:02] ---
Someone like me,
[22:03] ---
who's even more omnipotent than a god,
[22:05] ---
doesn't exist among mortals.
[22:09] ---
This…
[22:17] ---
Ignore him.
[22:18] ---
Oh, right.
[22:19] ---
How's Lady Ma doing?
[22:21] ---
She…
[22:23] ---
is much better now.
[22:27] ---
Although she's still depressed,
[22:29] ---
she's not going to kill herself.
[22:31] ---
We'll give this some time first
before deciding what to do.
[22:35] ---
I told the boatman already
[22:37] ---
to take you to the road leading to Bianjing!
[22:39] ---
This time, don't get lost!
[22:44] ---
Tao Yao,
[22:45] ---
what did Benefactor He Shan
say to you in the end?
[22:49] ---
Hmm…
[22:54] ---
He was worried
[22:56] ---
and asked me what to do if
his sister gets sick again.
[22:59] ---
So I gave him an everlasting prescription.
[23:06] ---
What kind of prescription?
[23:09] ---
Stop talking.
[23:10] ---
This delay took too long.
[23:12] ---
Let's start heading north.
[23:13] ---
To Bianjing!
[23:14] ---
That's south.
[23:17] ---
I'm just seeing if you'd blindly follow me.
[23:20] ---
Very good.
[23:21] ---
The Answer Bugs in your stomachs are dead.
[23:23] ---
Congratulations!
[23:25] ---
Keep bragging.
