[00:35] ---
    You're finally here.
[00:36] ---
    I've been waiting for you for a while.
[00:39] ---
    It's a bit far to come from the
    Valley of a Hundred Grasses,
[00:41] ---
    so I got held up for a bit.
[00:46] ---
    Come in.
[00:48] ---
    Look.
[00:49] ---
    I won lots of cooking competitions.
[00:51] ---
    Master has taught me everything.
[00:53] ---
    There are many restaurants
    wanting to hire me now.
[00:57] ---
    You're amazing!
[00:59] ---
    It's thanks to the "fish sheep
    grass" that you gave me.
[01:01] ---
    Thank you!
[01:03] ---
    It's great that you could come on time to
    the Valley of a Hundred Grasses that day.
[01:09] ---
    I kept it in mind.
[01:11] ---
    Come.
[01:15] ---
    I said I'd cook for you.
[01:17] ---
    Do you like it?
[01:19] ---
    Yes!
[01:24] ---
    What's wrong?
[01:27] ---
    It always feels like I'm dreaming.
[01:33] ---
    The Fairies Album says that
[01:35] ---
    there are Xi Nang in the mountains.
[01:36] ---
    Born with a sense of the
    loneliness of heaven and earth,
[01:39] ---
    you can only see one in a hundred years.
[01:41] ---
    Dressed in white like a child,
[01:43] ---
    Xi Nang can talk,
[01:45] ---
    have flesh and blood,
[01:46] ---
    just like humans.
[01:47] ---
    They're good-natured,
[01:49] ---
    and like to hold people's hand.
[01:51] ---
    But they can't go far from their hometown,
[01:53] ---
    otherwise they'll die.
[01:56] ---
    I don't have the ability
    to bring back the dead.
[01:59] ---
    Something must have gone wrong.
[02:01] ---
    What went wrong?
[02:02] ---
    That's the most useless spirit in the world.
[02:04] ---
    It's obviously very weak,
[02:05] ---
    and doesn't believe in evil.
[02:07] ---
    Didn't it die as it was walking along?
[02:09] ---
    Why is this happening?
[02:12] ---
    He just wanted to give that girl
    a bag of "fish sheep grass".
[02:21] ---
    "Fish sheep grass"?
[02:24] ---
    It's not impossible.
[02:27] ---
    This little spirit is already dead,
[02:29] ---
    and we can't let him linger
    in the world forever.
[02:31] ---
    As long as we find Luo Xi Xi,
[02:33] ---
    then we can resolve his obsession,
[02:34] ---
    and let him depart in peace.
[02:36] ---
    Oh yeah!
[02:37] ---
    Maybe Luo Xi Xi is also looking for him!
[02:40] ---
    Be quiet!
[02:41] ---
    But I agree with what Tao Yao is saying.
[02:45] ---
    You're very skilled,
[02:46] ---
    and know everything.
[02:47] ---
    Please help and find Luo Xi Xi.
[02:53] ---
    This capital isn't too big.
[02:55] ---
    It's not hard for me to find someone.
[02:58] ---
    Really?
[03:00] ---
    I'll have information within a day.
SIGN    Fairies Album In the Capital [Episode 12] Xi Xi makes her appointment.
[03:38] ---
    Come over!
[03:39] ---
    The little monk has said that
[03:41] ---
    my house is very clean.
[03:44] ---
    What else do you have to say?
[03:45] ---
    Amitabha. Amitabha.
[03:47] ---
    Harmony is precious.
[03:51] ---
    Now that the truth is revealed,
[03:54] ---
    I'm not going to embarrass you.
[03:55] ---
    Everyone take a step back.
[03:57] ---
    I won't charge this month's rent.
[03:59] ---
    You shouldn't make any more fuss.
[04:01] ---
    How about it?
[04:09] ---
    Fine.
[04:10] ---
    What a good solution.
[04:12] ---
    Yeah.
[04:13] ---
    Harmony is precious.
[04:15] ---
    What's the matter, little monk?
[04:16] ---
    Auntie...
[04:17] ---
    Ah no, Miss!
[04:19] ---
    Your room has good feng shui,
[04:21] ---
    and is comfortable to live in.
[04:22] ---
    Can I stay for another day?
[04:25] ---
    The happier you are,
[04:27] ---
    the better the house is.
[04:29] ---
    Not just for a day,
[04:30] ---
    you can stay for another three days.
[04:32] ---
    Thank you, Aun--
[04:34] ---
    Miss.
[04:38] ---
    Buns!
[04:43] ---
    The fifty buns you promised yesterday...
[04:45] ---
    You'll definitely get what I promised you!
[04:59] ---
    This is...
[05:01] ---
    This is my friend, Tao Yao.
[05:03] ---
    She saw me stay out all night yesterday,
[05:05] ---
    and came to check on me.
[05:07] ---
    Hello!
[05:09] ---
    Hello.
[05:11] ---
    By coincidence, Tao Yao is a doctor.
[05:13] ---
    I told her about your illness.
[05:15] ---
    She's willing to help you.
[05:17] ---
    Really?
[05:19] ---
    I just remembered!
[05:21] ---
    Monks don't lie.
[05:22] ---
    You're a good monk.
[05:26] ---
    Come close and let me have a look.
[05:32] ---
    A deficiency in Yang.
[05:34] ---
    Too much Yin inside.
[05:36] ---
    Cold hands and feet.
[05:38] ---
    A trembling illness.
[05:40] ---
    The illness has progressed for many years,
[05:41] ---
    and is deeply embedded.
[05:46] ---
    But it's okay, I can treat you.
[05:49] ---
    I'll loosen up your muscles.
[05:50] ---
    It can suspend your symptoms.
[05:57] ---
    Okay.
[06:00] ---
    This is the prescription.
[06:01] ---
    Take the prescribed medicine,
[06:02] ---
    and you'll recover in a month.
[06:05] ---
    Just like that?
[06:06] ---
    O-Of course.
[06:14] ---
    Thank you, good monk!
[06:16] ---
    Once I give the "fish
    sheep grass" to Luo Xi Xi,
[06:18] ---
    I can go home.
[06:25] ---
    Speaking of which,
[06:26] ---
    I've already asked another friend
    to help you find Luo Xi Xi.
[06:29] ---
    There's no one in the world he can't find.
[06:32] ---
    You really are a very good monk.
[06:39] ---
    Look, speak of the devil!
[06:44] ---
    Here it is.
[06:49] ---
    She's been found.
[06:51] ---
    Luo Xi Xi said that
[06:52] ---
    she'll see you in a bit.
[06:54] ---
    Excellent!
[06:57] ---
    Little monk,
[06:58] ---
    I really don't know how to thank you.
[07:01] ---
    D-Don't worry about it.
[07:05] ---
    Have you thought about what you'd say to her?
[07:08] ---
    I-I have a lot of stuff to tell her.
[07:11] ---
    I don't know where to start.
[07:15] ---
    Let's think about it now.
[07:25] ---
    Goodness gracious.
[07:27] ---
    It's good that she was found.
[07:29] ---
    I hope that he and Luo Xi Xi can
    reminisce about the past soon.
[07:33] ---
    Tao Yao, thank you and Mr Liu this time.
[07:36] ---
    There's "fish sheep grass", with pleasure!
[07:41] ---
    Forget it.
[07:43] ---
    As long as the outcome is
    good, then everything is fine.
[07:45] ---
    What's next?
[07:47] ---
    Where are we going?
[07:49] ---
    I remember that Jin Sanniang
    promised us fifty of those things.
[08:03] ---
    Come in!
[08:10] ---
    L-Luo Xi Xi.
[08:16] ---
    Why do you look the same, kid?
[08:21] ---
    You haven't changed one bit either.
[08:22] ---
    I can recognize you.
[08:25] ---
    When I heard that you were here,
[08:26] ---
    I simply couldn't believe it.
[08:28] ---
    You actually waited for me.
[08:31] ---
    I knew that you'd definitely come.
[08:34] ---
    Come in!
[08:40] ---
    How have you been all these years?
[08:44] ---
    I was just about to tell you.
[08:45] ---
    I became a chef,
[08:47] ---
    and I work over at the Qing Meng river.
[08:49] ---
    Every day, diners would
    come in multiple waves.
[08:51] ---
    Some are picky,
[08:52] ---
    but I can handle it.
[08:56] ---
    What about you?
[08:57] ---
    Aside from being slightly
    ill, everything is fine.
[09:00] ---
    But the doctor has seen me,
[09:01] ---
    and said that I'll be fine soon.
[09:03] ---
    Good.
[09:04] ---
    Good, that's good.
[09:07] ---
    Back then, didn't I say that
[09:08] ---
    I'd treat you to a nice meal?
[09:10] ---
    Come and taste my cooking.
[09:16] ---
    It looks delicious!
[09:21] ---
    How is it?
[09:23] ---
    Delicious!
[09:24] ---
    Especially delicious.
[09:26] ---
    I dreamt before that we had dinner together.
[09:30] ---
    You became a famous chef,
[09:32] ---
    and cooked a table of delicious food.
[09:35] ---
    Today, it finally came true.
[09:50] ---
    This bowl of fish soup is
    better than exotic delicacies.
[09:54] ---
    That's good.
[09:55] ---
    Eat! I'll eat too.
[10:03] ---
    Oh yeah,
[10:04] ---
    I should've given this to you earlier.
[10:08] ---
    I don't know if you can still use it.
[10:13] ---
    Yes, yes, of course I can use it.
[10:19] ---
    Thank you for delivering this for me.
[10:22] ---
    I'll put it to good use.
[10:24] ---
    Yep.
[10:25] ---
    Such delicious food would make
    everyone who eats it happy.
[10:31] ---
    Alright.
[10:37] ---
    Come.
[10:40] ---
    It's not easy for you to enter the city.
[10:42] ---
    Go!
[10:43] ---
    I'll show you around.
[10:45] ---
    But I can't go out.
[10:49] ---
    I'll hold your hand,
[10:50] ---
    then you can go out.
[10:52] ---
    Okay.
[11:04] ---
    Come in!
[11:05] ---
    Come in and take a seat!
[11:06] ---
    What do you want to eat?
[11:10] ---
    15 cash, 15 cash!
[11:11] ---
    Everything 15 cash!
[11:17] ---
    Great!
[11:22] ---
    Again!
[11:25] ---
    Good!
[11:28] ---
    It's really lively.
[11:31] ---
    This is my first time coming
    to such a lively place.
[11:35] ---
    Usually I come here when I have time.
[11:37] ---
    There's so much to do and eat here.
[11:39] ---
    I just hate that my stomach
    and eyes are too small.
[11:49] ---
    Seeing that you have achieved
    your dream and being so happy
[11:52] ---
    means that I can go home without worries.
[11:55] ---
    Do you need to go back?
[11:58] ---
    Although the capital is lively,
[11:59] ---
    but the Valley of a Hundred
    Grasses is my home.
[12:01] ---
    I've been out for too long,
[12:03] ---
    so I should go back.
[12:08] ---
    Okay. I'll see you off.
[12:10] ---
    Sure.
[12:20] ---
    As expected of the capital,
[12:22] ---
    even the night is so lively.
[12:24] ---
    So lively?
[12:25] ---
    There must be many gambling stalls too.
[12:27] ---
    You can't go.
[12:29] ---
    I let you sneak out to have fun,
[12:30] ---
    yet I can't have fun?
[12:32] ---
    Hey, we just finished eating.
[12:34] ---
    You can't lose again.
[12:38] ---
    Forget it.
[12:39] ---
    I am not arguing with you today.
[12:42] ---
    Where are you going?
[12:43] ---
    I can't go to gambling stalls.
[12:44] ---
    Can I go buy some new clothes?
[12:45] ---
    Hey, don't waste your money!
[12:50] ---
    Come!
[12:51] ---
    We're opening our branch today.
[12:52] ---
    Thank you for your support!
[12:54] ---
    We're pleased to have you in our shop.
[12:55] ---
    Come! Please come inside!
[12:57] ---
    Try anything you like!
[12:58] ---
    She opened a branch so quickly.
[12:59] ---
    She really can do business.
[13:00] ---
    Yeah, what a great couple!
[13:00] ---
    You came!
[13:03] ---
    I want a wife like this.
[13:03] ---
    Thank you, please come in.
[13:04] ---
    It would be like a dream come true!
[13:08] ---
    This store seems to be very expensive.
[13:09] ---
    Let's go back!
[13:11] ---
    If I don't dress up nicely,
[13:12] ---
    you'd be responsible for the god of
    thunder not marrying me in future.
[13:16] ---
    The new goods are already out.
[13:17] ---
    Please come in!
[13:22] ---
    You look unfamiliar.
[13:23] ---
    Is this your first time here?
[13:25] ---
    This new color is suitable for your
    calm temperament and slender figure.
[13:30] ---
    Check it out!
[13:32] ---
    Calm? Slender?
[13:35] ---
    Who are you talking about?
[13:38] ---
    You have a good eye, Boss.
[13:41] ---
    Let's see how this fabric
    workmanship matches you.
[13:44] ---
    If you buy this one,
[13:45] ---
    you can make several dresses.
[13:47] ---
    It's not too expensive either, only 500 cash.
[13:50] ---
    500 cash?
[13:56] ---
    All this boss cares about is money.
[13:58] ---
    Even if you sell me, you can't afford it.
[14:00] ---
    If we don't sell you,
[14:01] ---
    how do we know you're not worth 500 cash?
[14:05] ---
    This cloth is too expensive.
[14:06] ---
    We're not buying it.
[14:10] ---
    Little monk.
[14:11] ---
    Even a thousand gold pieces
    can't buy a good heart.
[14:14] ---
    Your sister treats you well.
[14:15] ---
    Why can't she spend some money?
[14:18] ---
    That's right.
[14:19] ---
    When you do business, it's
    natural to make money.
[14:21] ---
    You can't eat emotions for dinner.
[14:23] ---
    Isn't that right, Luo Xi Xi?
[14:27] ---
    Luo Xi Xi?
[14:30] ---
    You actually know me?
[14:32] ---
    Of course.
[14:33] ---
    The good wife from the big
    cloth merchant in the capital,
[14:35] ---
    in a happy family with a son and daughter,
[14:38] ---
    you are idolised by many girls.
[14:42] ---
    You're really good with words.
[14:43] ---
    I'm flattered.
[14:44] ---
    But what about your dream?
[14:47] ---
    What?
[14:48] ---
    Your dream is to become a famous chef,
[14:50] ---
    to make dishes that make
    everyone smile, right?
[14:56] ---
    The Valley of a Hundred Grasses.
[14:57] ---
    "Fish sheep grass".
[14:58] ---
    You had an appointment with a child,
[15:00] ---
    and asked him to come to
    the capital to see you.
[15:02] ---
    Little monk, what are you talking about?
[15:05] ---
    I don't understand at all.
[15:07] ---
    You...
[15:09] ---
    Are you really Luo Xi Xi?
[15:12] ---
    You...
[15:13] ---
    Hey, aren't you the little monk?
[15:15] ---
    You've come to buy fabric to make clothes?
[15:20] ---
    Boss Jin!
[15:22] ---
    Miss, I have other customers to take care of.
[15:24] ---
    Have a look and choose what you like.
[15:25] ---
    Since we just opened today,
[15:26] ---
    I'll give you a discount.
[15:28] ---
    Boss Jin, you came just at the right time.
[15:30] ---
    We have several new colors this time.
[15:32] ---
    Come and have a look.
[15:33] ---
    Come hang out at mine when you're free!
[15:35] ---
    Come!
[15:38] ---
    How did this happen?
[15:40] ---
    As you can see, Luo Xi Xi is here.
[15:43] ---
    Like getting bitten by a fox,
[15:45] ---
    she has already completely
    forgotten her wish as a child.
[15:48] ---
    Now, she only cares about making money.
[15:51] ---
    How to buy more of her cloths,
[15:53] ---
    and sell at a higher price.
[15:55] ---
    But he's still waiting for her!
[16:01] ---
    She's already left.
[16:05] ---
    Luo Xi Xi.
[16:07] ---
    Yep, I'm here.
[16:09] ---
    After I get back,
[16:10] ---
    I'll be sure to tell the locust tree spirit
[16:12] ---
    how beautiful the capital is.
[16:14] ---
    Before, he used to show off how much he knew.
[16:17] ---
    Locust tree spirit?
[16:20] ---
    I mean...
[16:22] ---
    I know that you're a spirit.
[16:26] ---
    Aren't you scared of me?
[16:29] ---
    No.
[16:31] ---
    Things that have scared me and harmed me
[16:33] ---
    have never been a spirit.
[16:36] ---
    That's good.
[16:38] ---
    By the way,
[16:39] ---
    I'm so relieved once I gave
    you the "fish sheep grass".
[16:43] ---
    Actually, you don't need
    to be stressed about it.
[16:46] ---
    After all, we made an appointment.
[16:48] ---
    But do you know how to use
    the "fish sheep grass"?
[16:52] ---
    Don't worry, I know.
[16:55] ---
    By the way, the Valley of a
    Hundred Grasses is far away.
[16:58] ---
    Just see me off at that street up ahead.
[17:01] ---
    I said that if I see you off,
[17:02] ---
    then I'll see you off all the way.
[17:05] ---
    Okay.
[17:07] ---
    By the way, you've never asked me what I am.
[17:13] ---
    I know.
[17:15] ---
    You are a Xi Nang.
[17:17] ---
    I meant my name.
[17:21] ---
    Do you have a name?
[17:25] ---
    It seems... I don't.
[17:29] ---
    Then I'll call you Xi Xi.
[17:32] ---
    I am Xi Xi.
[17:34] ---
    You are Xi Xi.
[17:41] ---
    Hmm!
[17:43] ---
    Great!
[17:44] ---
    We have the same name!
[17:48] ---
    Wait!
[17:48] ---
    You're going to the capital?
[17:50] ---
    Something held her up and she didn't come.
[17:52] ---
    I need to give her the "fish sheep grass".
[17:54] ---
    You're silly!
[17:55] ---
    You've never left the Valley
    of a Hundred Grasses.
[17:57] ---
    Can you cope with the outside world?
[18:00] ---
    No problems.
[18:01] ---
    Once I see her,
[18:02] ---
    I'll come straight back.
[18:04] ---
    Do you know why you are the only Xi Nang
    left in the Valley of a Hundred Grasses?
[18:07] ---
    Once those Xi Nang left, they--
[18:10] ---
    Don't run!
[18:11] ---
    Hear me out!
[18:15] ---
    What a silly child.
[18:21] ---
    How is it?
[18:23] ---
    Can you walk?
[18:24] ---
    Why are you staring blankly?
[18:25] ---
    I'll take you home.
[18:28] ---
    Okay.
[18:30] ---
    Xi Xi.
[18:32] ---
    Being able to hold your hand is
    the happiest moment of my life.
[18:37] ---
    Silly child.
[18:39] ---
    Me too.
[19:20] ---
    He's gone.
[19:21] ---
    His wish has been fulfilled.
[19:24] ---
    Although there were twists
    and turns in the process,
[19:26] ---
    the outcome is good,
[19:28] ---
    so everything is fine.
[19:29] ---
    Right?
[19:32] ---
    Xi Nang are born into solitude,
[19:34] ---
    so they like holding people's hands.
[19:36] ---
    They even leave their
    birthplace for this reason,
[19:39] ---
    even if they lose their lives.
[19:41] ---
    That's why I said that
[19:43] ---
    this kind of spirit is useless.
[19:44] ---
    In order to cling to a little warmth,
[19:46] ---
    they'd even throw away their life.
[19:52] ---
    Some people forget that the hot blood
    of youth becomes tepid over time.
[19:58] ---
    Some people are really stupid.
[20:00] ---
    Some are a bit better,
[20:01] ---
    and will remember it for a lifetime.
[20:03] ---
    Despite knowing the sad conclusion,
[20:05] ---
    they're still stupidly nice to poeple.
[20:07] ---
    You can only say that these spirits
[20:09] ---
    are too stupid.
[20:10] ---
    But these spirits...
[20:12] ---
    None of them has regrets.
[20:16] ---
    There's no point discussing this now.
[20:19] ---
    That Xi Nang has fulfilled his wish.
[20:21] ---
    Everything is complete.
[20:26] ---
    Amitabha.
