[00:25] ---
    The reason why Chen Bai Shui is so unlucky,
[00:27] ---
    and nothing goes as planned,
[00:29] ---
    it's all because of you,
[00:31] ---
    Feifei.
[00:42] ---
    It was you who burned paper
    offerings and summoned me.
[00:44] ---
    In the end, you hid yourself well.
[00:47] ---
    I always thought you were an old lady.
[00:50] ---
    Who would've thought you'd
    be a silly little girl?
[00:54] ---
    You can talk, but don't get too close to me.
[00:57] ---
    Spirit Doctor Tao Yao is
    also afraid of spirits.
[01:00] ---
    I'm afraid that I won't be able
    to win money in the future.
[01:02] ---
    This is the biggest wish in my life.
[01:04] ---
    Then I'll say it here.
[01:07] ---
    Actually, you're overthinking it.
[01:08] ---
    Even if I jumped on your head,
[01:10] ---
    the money that you'd win won't fly away.
[01:12] ---
    But I still don't want to touch you.
[01:15] ---
    You sound like I really want to touch you.
[01:17] ---
    If that's the case,
[01:18] ---
    why did you touch Chen Bai Shui?
[01:20] ---
    The result is that he can't even be a monk.
[01:23] ---
    This is what I'd like your help with.
[01:26] ---
    I'd like you to save Chen Bai Shui.
[01:29] ---
    After all,
[01:31] ---
    he's not a bad guy.
[01:33] ---
    Firstly, I only treat spirits, not humans.
[01:36] ---
    Secondly, is he not bad?
[01:38] ---
    Just now, he almost strangled my companion.
[01:41] ---
    If he's that bad,
[01:42] ---
    he could've poisoned the dinner.
[01:46] ---
    Tao Yao, Chen Bai Shui became like this
[01:49] ---
    because I owed him thirty
    years of good times.
SIGN    Fairies Album In the Capital [Episode 4] Bai Shui asks the lotus.
[02:23] ---
    You know that we come from a reversed world
    that has nothing to do with the human world.
[02:29] ---
    Our only ability is to reverse
    the wishes of others.
[02:33] ---
    Why is there a hole here?
[02:49] ---
    This eunuch is good at casting spells.
[02:51] ---
    He has a valuable manuscript,
[02:54] ---
    which explains how to use us.
[03:04] ---
    Crown Prince,
[03:06] ---
    I wish you a long life.
[03:09] ---
    Generals,
[03:10] ---
    I wish for your triumph.
[03:13] ---
    Your Majesty,
[03:15] ---
    I wish to serve you forever,
[03:18] ---
    throughout the ages.
[03:26] ---
    Don't you think about
    getting what I can't get!
[03:32] ---
    I don't know why he did that.
[03:36] ---
    Bastard! Freak!
[03:38] ---
    You waste of space.
[03:40] ---
    Don't live to be a disgrace!
[03:41] ---
    Isn't it better to die early and be free?
[03:44] ---
    Right! Go die, go die!
[03:49] ---
    I just know that in the days
    after he left the palace,
[03:51] ---
    he still got scorned and mocked,
[03:54] ---
    and still needed our power to get revenge.
[04:02] ---
    In the end,
[04:03] ---
    those two gentlemen were cut down by bandits.
[04:06] ---
    After that, of the people
    whom he couldn't tolerate,
[04:08] ---
    some were sentenced to exile,
[04:10] ---
    some lost family fortunes,
[04:12] ---
    and some lost their wives.
[04:15] ---
    The eunuch gradually grew old in the process
    of reversing other people's wishes.
[04:20] ---
    Not even a single one
    of his wishes came true.
[04:27] ---
    Old man, hand over your valuables.
[04:30] ---
    Who are you guys?
[04:31] ---
    What are you doing?!
[04:32] ---
    Quickly! Do you want to die?
[04:35] ---
    Please, please spare my life!
[04:37] ---
    There's nothing of value
    in this broken house.
[04:40] ---
    Please be gentle with me!
[04:43] ---
    What's this?
[04:45] ---
    No, no, no.
[04:46] ---
    You can have everything
    here, but leave the cage.
[04:49] ---
    Get lost!
[04:51] ---
    D-Don't touch that cage!
[04:52] ---
    Old man, you no longer want to live.
[05:10] ---
    Spirits!
[05:12] ---
    There are spirits!
[05:21] ---
    Search carefully.
[05:22] ---
    Don't leave any of them.
[05:29] ---
    Chen Bai Shui, did you find any more?
[05:32] ---
    No.
[05:33] ---
    Not even a mouse.
[05:35] ---
    Good.
[05:36] ---
    Let's get out.
[05:38] ---
    I just found a locked box.
[05:40] ---
    Let's go back and pry it open.
[05:41] ---
    Maybe there's treasure.
[05:42] ---
    I didn't expect this old
    man to have some money.
[05:45] ---
    Oh yeah, Shui.
[05:46] ---
    Don't you want to get a wife?
[05:48] ---
    This time you've earned a fortune!
[05:51] ---
    Stop teasing me..
[05:51] ---
    Let's go, let's go.
[05:57] ---
    Isn't he also a bandit?
[05:59] ---
    Why did he let me go?
[06:01] ---
    Wait.
[06:03] ---
    The content of that manuscript
    is too dangerous.
[06:05] ---
    I have to find those bandits
    and destroy the manuscript.
[06:33] ---
    Sorry, I don't have anything to eat.
[06:35] ---
    So you're Chen Bai Shui?
[06:41] ---
    H-How can a cat talk?
[06:43] ---
    I must have a fever.
[06:44] ---
    No, you don't have a fever.
[06:53] ---
    It's you.
[06:55] ---
    How did you recognize me?
[06:56] ---
    I recognized your eyes.
[07:00] ---
    What on earth are you?
[07:02] ---
    I am Fei Fei, a type of spirit.
[07:05] ---
    Spirit?
[07:06] ---
    No way.
[07:07] ---
    If you're a spirit,
[07:09] ---
    how can you get locked up
    and taken advantage of?
[07:11] ---
    Can't spirits do magic, kill
    people and become invisible?
[07:16] ---
    Don't you humans claim to be
    the spirits of everything?
[07:18] ---
    Don'y you rule the world?
[07:20] ---
    Then as a human,
[07:21] ---
    how can you kill for money?
[07:22] ---
    How can you use this method to
    earn money for getting married?
[07:25] ---
    If I'd known that you were so sharp-tongued,
[07:27] ---
    I wouldn't have let you go back then.
[07:28] ---
    So, why are you looking for me?
[07:31] ---
    I...
[07:35] ---
    I'll go with you.
[07:37] ---
    Why?
[07:38] ---
    The world is vast.
[07:40] ---
    Since we meet again,
[07:41] ---
    I'll return the favor for sparing me.
[07:43] ---
    No need.
[07:44] ---
    Just pretend I didn't see you.
[07:46] ---
    You don't owe me either.
[07:49] ---
    Off you go.
[07:50] ---
    I'm not used to being together with spirits.
[07:52] ---
    Then...
[07:55] ---
    How about this?
[07:58] ---
    But it's inconvenient for me to raise a cat.
[08:00] ---
    Alright. I'm going.
[08:01] ---
    See you later.
[08:04] ---
    Chen Bai Shui, did you find any more?
[08:07] ---
    No.
[08:08] ---
    Not even a mouse.
[08:10] ---
    Chen Bai Shui.
[08:11] ---
    I said you don't need to thank me.
[08:13] ---
    Everyone I know is dead, except for you.
[08:16] ---
    So I want to go with you.
[08:24] ---
    I don't have any extra money to buy you fish.
[08:26] ---
    I'm not a cat.
[08:27] ---
    I don't need to eat.
[08:30] ---
    Can you catch mice?
[08:31] ---
    No.
[08:33] ---
    Then why should I let you follow me?
[08:35] ---
    And like this, we returned together
    to the Dragon Slayers' base.
[08:50] ---
    How...
[08:51] ---
    How would I find it?
[08:54] ---
    Rock, paper...
[08:56] ---
    Scissors!
[09:06] ---
    Why did you come here?
[09:07] ---
    I-I was randomly walking around.
[09:09] ---
    Don't go wandering around in future.
[09:11] ---
    If you're seen by the boss, he'll kill you.
[09:14] ---
    For you.
[09:16] ---
    I'm not a cat, no need to eat fish.
[09:19] ---
    Just eat what's given to you.
[09:21] ---
    What a tsundere.
[09:23] ---
    What did you say?
[09:24] ---
    I said it tastes good.
[09:27] ---
    What a strange person.
[09:29] ---
    You're clearly a bandit,
[09:31] ---
    yet you're so good to cats.
[09:39] ---
    When you first came,
[09:40] ---
    did you pass the three trials?
[09:42] ---
    What?
[09:43] ---
    Go on the fire road,
[09:44] ---
    cross the wine sea and
    climb the knife mountain.
[09:46] ---
    I saw new recruits today grimacing in pain.
[09:50] ---
    You're referring to that one.
[09:51] ---
    He didn't fall off the knife mountain.
[09:52] ---
    He was lucky.
[09:54] ---
    I don't believe it.
[09:55] ---
    It's true.
[09:57] ---
    Look at this if you don't believe it.
[10:01] ---
    Did you become a bandit just
    to marry the girl you love?
[10:05] ---
    Yes.
[10:06] ---
    I don't understand.
[10:07] ---
    If you want to marry the girl you love,
[10:09] ---
    isn't it enough as long as
    you are willing to do it?
[10:13] ---
    Her parents dislike me being poor,
[10:15] ---
    and want me to save up
    100 taels within a year.
[10:17] ---
    But you don't have to become a bandit.
[10:20] ---
    I can make money quickly here.
[10:21] ---
    Otherwise how can I save so
    much money within a year?
[10:23] ---
    I don't have much time.
[10:25] ---
    This is the only way.
[10:28] ---
    Actually, her parents are correct.
[10:31] ---
    Without money, I can't even buy her a house.
[10:35] ---
    Not enough to eat or wear,
[10:37] ---
    let alone buy make-up.
[10:38] ---
    Whose parents would want their
    daughter to suffer such hardship?
[10:41] ---
    What did she say?
[10:44] ---
    She wants to elope with me.
[10:46] ---
    But how can I let her be
    burdened with such a sin?
[10:48] ---
    I want her to marry me properly,
[10:50] ---
    without worrying about clothing
    or food, and grow old together.
[10:53] ---
    But you are a bandit.
[10:55] ---
    If you have blood on your
    hands and marry her...
[10:58] ---
    No problems.
[10:59] ---
    I haven't killed anyone yet.
[11:00] ---
    My current savings are already
    enough to buy half a house.
[11:04] ---
    As long as I do another big job,
[11:05] ---
    I can stop being a bandit,
[11:07] ---
    and propose to her.
[11:12] ---
    By the way,
[11:13] ---
    what can you guys actually do?
[11:15] ---
    Besides possessing a dead
    cat and talking to me,
[11:17] ---
    it seems like you can't do anything else.
[11:18] ---
    C-Can't I just talk to you like this?
[11:23] ---
    But you're a spirit.
[11:25] ---
    You shouldn't live such a boring life.
[11:27] ---
    Don't you have any wishes?
[11:30] ---
    I was born to reverse wishes.
[11:32] ---
    What right do I have to have wishes?
[11:35] ---
    What did you say?
[11:36] ---
    Who's that?
[11:38] ---
    The brothers are back.
[11:39] ---
    I have work to do.
[11:41] ---
    Brothers!
[11:43] ---
    This is a big job.
[11:45] ---
    You guys must slaughter this
    fat sheep, no matter what.
[11:49] ---
    Yes!
[11:56] ---
    In order to rob this group of merchants,
[11:58] ---
    the Dragon Slayers went out in full force,
[11:59] ---
    leaving the warehouse unguarded.
[12:01] ---
    For me, this is the best chance
    to destroy the manuscript.
[12:05] ---
    Fei Fei.
[12:07] ---
    I'm going out.
[12:08] ---
    Wait for me here.
[12:11] ---
    If this time is a success,
[12:12] ---
    I'll take you to propose to Lian'er.
[12:15] ---
    There's still some dried fish in my house.
[12:16] ---
    Eat it if you're hungry.
[12:18] ---
    I...
[12:19] ---
    Shui, let's go!
[12:21] ---
    Yes, coming!
[12:24] ---
    Chen Bai Shui.
[12:53] ---
    If this time is a success,
[12:54] ---
    I'll take you to propose to Lian'er.
[13:01] ---
    I'm going out.
[13:02] ---
    Wait for me here.
[13:04] ---
    There's still some dried fish in my house.
[13:06] ---
    Eat it if you're hungry.
[13:22] ---
    I still want to marry her.
[13:24] ---
    She's still waiting for me.
[13:27] ---
    But you are a bandit.
[13:28] ---
    If you have blood on your
    hands and marry her...
[13:31] ---
    No problems.
[13:32] ---
    I haven't killed anyone yet.
[13:34] ---
    I'm so close!
[13:43] ---
    Don't you have any wishes?
[13:44] ---
    I was born to reverse wishes.
[13:47] ---
    What right do I have to have wishes?
[13:58] ---
    I could only stop him using this method.
[14:01] ---
    I didn't want him to go astray,
[14:03] ---
    and end up like that old eunuch.
[14:06] ---
    Maybe,
[14:08] ---
    this was my wish.
[14:11] ---
    But you still ruined Chen Bai Shui's life,
[14:13] ---
    causing him to fail all his
    wishes in the next 30 years.
[14:16] ---
    Who would've thought that
[14:17] ---
    things would turn out contrary
    to the way you wished.
[14:21] ---
    Stop mocking me.
[14:23] ---
    So, what happened to that manuscript?
[14:26] ---
    It's gone.
[14:27] ---
    When the Dragon Slayers were wiped out,
[14:29] ---
    it was burnt along with the
    base by the authorities.
[14:33] ---
    Tao Yao, I hope you can treat Chen Bai Shui.
[14:37] ---
    I said that I only treat spirits, not humans.
[14:41] ---
    But I am his illness.
[14:43] ---
    Once we possess a living being,
[14:45] ---
    then all their wishes will be subverted.
[14:49] ---
    As long as I'm not dead,
[14:50] ---
    Chen Bai Shui will never be
    able to achieve his wish.
[14:53] ---
    And my life would not be within my control.
[14:58] ---
    As long as Chen Bai Shui lives,
[15:00] ---
    I won't die even if I'm ground into ink.
[15:03] ---
    So, please kill me.
[15:08] ---
    Won't you do it?
[15:09] ---
    Tao Yao, not only can you save spirits,
[15:12] ---
    but you can also get rid of spirits, right?
[15:14] ---
    The golden bell would ring and
    nothing would be left behind.
[15:16] ---
    Isn't that your style?
[15:17] ---
    The golden bell didn't ring.
[15:19] ---
    I won't kill you.
[15:20] ---
    Don't go.
[15:21] ---
    I summoned you because
    I wanted you to kill me.
[15:25] ---
    It was Chen Bai Shui's own choice to
    become a bandit to fulfill his wish.
[15:29] ---
    It's his fault for turning out like this.
[15:31] ---
    I understand.
[15:33] ---
    Using bad means to get your wish
    is destined to turn out badly.
[15:37] ---
    But my existence is a mistake.
[15:39] ---
    It only causes pain for others.
[15:41] ---
    You should get rid of me
    and save Chen Bai Shui.
[15:43] ---
    Fine, fine, enough, enough.
[15:45] ---
    That's why it's said that your
    brains are filled with mush.
[15:49] ---
    So are you going to kill me or not?
[15:51] ---
    Fine, I'll fulfill your wish.
[15:55] ---
    But you know my rules.
[15:56] ---
    My corpse is at your disposal,
    as long as you can use it.
[16:00] ---
    Alright.
[16:01] ---
    Hold on.
[16:02] ---
    Nothing will really happen
    to me if I touch you, right?
[16:04] ---
    I already said that I only
    work on possessed people.
[16:08] ---
    Stupid.
[16:10] ---
    Fine then. Let's seal the deal.
[16:14] ---
    Wait.
[16:15] ---
    Are you regretting it?
[16:16] ---
    No.
[16:17] ---
    There's one more thing.
[16:27] ---
    Miss Tao.
[16:28] ---
    Huh?
[16:29] ---
    So early?
[16:30] ---
    Are you going far?
[16:31] ---
    Yes.
[16:33] ---
    Very far.
[16:34] ---
    I probably won't come back from this trip.
[16:37] ---
    Mr Chen.
[16:40] ---
    Are you leaving?
[16:42] ---
    Yes, yes.
[16:43] ---
    I'm sorry to have disturbed you before.
[16:46] ---
    No, no, no.
[16:47] ---
    Mr Chen wants to convert to Buddhism,
[16:49] ---
    but I couldn't help out with anything.
[16:52] ---
    No problem.
[16:53] ---
    I don't want to become a monk anymore.
[16:55] ---
    I just received a letter,
[16:57] ---
    saying where my family is going.
[17:00] ---
    I'm going to find them.
[17:02] ---
    Chen Bai Shui has a girl.
[17:05] ---
    That girl was pregnant and
    lived in a foreign land.
[17:08] ---
    Fortunately, she safely
    gave birth to a daughter.
[17:10] ---
    After that, mother and daughter
    relied on each other for survival,
[17:12] ---
    and farmed for a living.
[17:14] ---
    Where are they now?
[17:16] ---
    Cuiquan village, in Wuzhou.
[17:17] ---
    Also, the mother isn't married yet.
[17:20] ---
    What?
[17:21] ---
    You even know this?
[17:23] ---
    There are thousands of spirits in the world,
[17:25] ---
    so it really isn't hard to find out.
[17:27] ---
    He doesn't know?
[17:28] ---
    How would I dare to let him know?
[17:30] ---
    That's true.
[17:32] ---
    I know what to do.
[17:34] ---
    Then...
[17:35] ---
    Let's continue to seal the deal.
[17:36] ---
    Sure.
[17:37] ---
    Thanks.
[17:41] ---
    Using the golden bell as proof,
[17:51] ---
    the contract is complete.
[17:54] ---
    Really?
[17:55] ---
    That's great!
[17:57] ---
    Then I'll take my leave.
[18:00] ---
    Take care of yourself on the way.
[18:01] ---
    Best wishes for everything!
[18:08] ---
    Best wishes, indeed.
[18:11] ---
    I hope to see again.
[18:19] ---
    You didn't kill Fei Fei, right?
[18:21] ---
    Your bell has been quiet all along.
[18:25] ---
    It wasn't hard to put the little
    spirit to sleep for 30 years.
[18:28] ---
    It's like letting it return all
    that time to Chen Bai Shui.
[18:32] ---
    I'll wait for Chen Bai Shui to pass
    away, and then revive Fei Fei.
[18:36] ---
    But what if someone else
    uses Fei Fei to harm people?
[18:40] ---
    Then I'll kill the person holding the knife,
[18:43] ---
    instead of killing the knife.
[18:46] ---
    By the way, Tao Yao!
[18:47] ---
    Mr Chen has left.
[18:48] ---
    What are we going to eat?
[18:50] ---
    You tell me.
[18:51] ---
    Do you want Mr. Liu to blow up the kitchen?
[18:53] ---
    What do you mean?!
[18:55] ---
    Then who's going to cook?
[18:58] ---
    Of course it's you!
[19:00] ---
    Go already!
