[02:29] ---
    Blood Rain Flower-Seeker?
[02:31] ---
    Your Highness.
[02:34] ---
    That's the first time
    you've called me that.
[02:38] ---
    How does it feel?
[02:41] ---
    It feels... different than
    when other people say it.
[02:49] ---
    Different how?
[02:51] ---
    It feels... special.
[02:56] ---
    But enough about me.
[02:57] ---
    So you were the bridegroom
    who guided me on Mt. Yujun.
[03:04] ---
    Er... that is to say, you were
    disguised as a bridegroom.
[03:14] ---
    I wasn't in disguise.
[03:17] ---
    Then what were you doing on Mt. Yujun?
[03:23] ---
    There are two possibilities:
[03:25] ---
    Either I went there for you...
[03:28] ---
    ...or I had a lot of time on my hands.
[03:32] ---
    Which do you think it was?
[03:34] ---
    Hard to say.
[03:36] ---
    But you do seem to
    have a lot of free time.
[03:43] ---
    By the way, you're not
    at all like the rumors say.
[03:48] ---
    Then how did Your Highness know
    that I was the Blood Rain Flower-Seeker?
[03:55] ---
    I tried all sorts of tests on you,
    but you were impenetrable.
[03:57] ---
    So I realized you
    must be Devastation-level.
[04:00] ---
    Besides, you were all-knowing,
    all-capable, and all dressed in red.
[04:07] ---
    Who could you have been but the
    terrifying Blood Rain Flower-Seeker?
[04:14] ---
    Is that supposed to be a compliment?
[04:19] ---
    Isn't it?
[04:52] ---
    Half-Moon, you're awake?
[04:55] ---
    Did you want to gaze at the stars?
[05:03] ---
    General Hua, what will happen
    to General Pei the Younger?
[05:09] ---
    I don't know.
[05:10] ---
    But he has made mistakes, so he will
    have to be punished one way or another.
[05:14] ---
    Actually, he really isn't a bad person!
[05:18] ---
    He helped me in the past.
    Millstone always thought I'd gone mad.
[05:25] ---
    But even if he was using me,
    it was I who chose to open the gate.
[05:32] ---
    It's all right. It's all in the past now.
[05:43] ---
    General Hua, I'm sorry.
[05:47] ---
    Half-Moon, why do you
    insist on apologizing to me?
[05:51] ---
    "I want to save the world."
[05:54] ---
    What?
[05:56] ---
    That's what you once told me.
[05:59] ---
    Huh?
[06:00] ---
    Wait a minute!
[06:07] ---
    Did I really say something that silly?
[06:12] ---
    Yes.
[06:13] ---
    One time, you asked me what
    I wanted to be when I grew up.
[06:17] ---
    I said I didn't know. Then you said...
[06:29] ---
    When I was younger,
    my dream was to save the world.
[06:33] ---
    I was just speaking off the cuff.
    You didn't need to memorize it!
[06:37] ---
    But you seemed so sincere at the time.
[06:41] ---
    Ha! Really?
    I don't even remember anymore.
[06:45] ---
    I do!
[06:47] ---
    You also used to say,
    "Do what you believe is right!"
[06:50] ---
    "Nothing can ever stop you!"
[06:53] ---
    What a load of drivel.
[06:58] ---
    I'm not that kind of person.
[06:59] ---
    Or am I?
[07:02] ---
    I used to think I was
    doing the right thing.
[07:04] ---
    But now I don't know what's right
    and what's wrong anymore.
[07:10] ---
    I opened the city gates
    and let the enemy in.
[07:12] ---
    Because of that, my people were
    slaughtered and the kingdom is no more.
[07:15] ---
    But if I hadn't done so,
    the Half-Moon soldiers would have gone
[07:18] ---
    to the Central Plains and fought
    until both peoples were destroyed.
[07:23] ---
    General Hua, you were very good to me.
[07:24] ---
    So was Millstone.
    And the soldiers followed me loyally.
[07:29] ---
    And yet not only
    did I cause them to be killed,
[07:32] ---
    I also failed to relieve
    their suffering after death.
[07:36] ---
    To be honest, General Hua,
[07:39] ---
    I have no idea what I've been
    doing for the past 200 years.
[07:47] ---
    And I've idled away the past 800 years.
[07:51] ---
    General Hua, could you please
    tell me where exactly I went wrong?
[07:56] ---
    What should I have done instead?
[08:04] ---
    I'm sorry, Half-Moon.
[08:06] ---
    I didn't know the answer
    to that before, and I still don't.
[08:18] ---
    Half-Moon wasn't trapped at Half-Moon Pass
    because she became a Wrath.
[08:23] ---
    She stayed there of her own accord.
[08:29] ---
    In fact, if he wanted to hush things up,
[08:32] ---
    Pei the Younger could've just sent
    a clone to deal with the ghosts.
[08:36] ---
    Why did he have to feed them living souls?
[08:41] ---
    A clone would've been too weak
    to subdue so many ghosts at once.
[08:45] ---
    Feeding them live people
    appeased their grudge more quickly.
[08:49] ---
    To a heavenly official,
    humans are as expendable as ants.
[08:55] ---
    So clones are weaker than the original?
[08:58] ---
    But this clone of yours
    is quite impressive.
[09:02] ---
    Oh, I'm the real deal!
[09:06] ---
    Really?
[09:07] ---
    You're the original?
[09:19] ---
    Ha! Not bad.
[09:22] ---
    So you like this look on me?
[09:26] ---
    Yes, it's very nice.
[09:29] ---
    But... could you show me
    what you really look like?
[09:36] ---
    Never mind. I just thought I'd ask.
[09:39] ---
    Anyway, let's eat!
[09:44] ---
    Oh no, it's burnt.
[09:48] ---
    Sorry, I'll make it again.
[09:51] ---
    I'll show you what
    I look like some other time.
[09:53] ---
    And I'm really not that hungry.
    Let's just relax tonight.
[10:23] ---
    You've been spending
    a lot of time in this realm.
[10:24] ---
    Is it really so uneventful in the ghost
    realm that you don't need to report back?
[10:33] ---
    What's there to report?
[10:34] ---
    We each go about our own business there.
    No one reports to anyone else.
[10:37] ---
    Besides, I'm the boss over there.
    No one would dare meddle in my affairs.
[10:43] ---
    I see. I thought you were governed
    as strictly as the heavenly realm.
[10:49] ---
    We're much more flexible.
[10:52] ---
    So, have you met the other Demon Kings?
[10:55] ---
    I have.
[10:56] ---
    What about the Sad-Face Green Demon?
[10:58] ---
    That vulgar good-for-nothing?
[11:01] ---
    I went to see him once,
    but he ended up running off.
[11:05] ---
    I'm sure you didn't go
    there just to say hello.
[11:07] ---
    I did say hello first.
[11:09] ---
    It was then that I earned the moniker
    "Blood Rain Flower-Seeker."
[11:14] ---
    So you two didn't get along?
[11:18] ---
    No, he's too much of an eyesore.
[11:19] ---
    And it's not just me.
    Black-Water doesn't care for him either.
[11:25] ---
    Black Water Boat-Sinker?
    Do you know him well?
[11:28] ---
    Not really.
[11:30] ---
    I'm not too familiar with
    most in the ghost realm.
[11:31] ---
    Only Devastation-level demons
    have the right to address me.
[11:38] ---
    Your ghost realm sounds pretty nice.
    There are only a few bigwigs.
[11:41] ---
    I can hardly remember all the
    names in the heavenly realm.
[11:45] ---
    Then don't bother remembering,
    it's a waste of time.
[11:49] ---
    I have to try,
    otherwise they'll get offended.
[11:55] ---
    If that's all it takes to offend them,
[11:57] ---
    then they're a bunch
    of petty-minded chumps.
[12:08] ---
    I wonder when Half-Moon will be back.
[12:12] ---
    She's got a lot on
    her mind. Let her be.
[12:17] ---
    You're right.
[12:22] ---
    By the way, that was a good line.
[12:25] ---
    What line?
[12:28] ---
    "I want to save the world."
[12:34] ---
    San Lang...
[12:37] ---
    Hm? What's wrong with that?
[12:41] ---
    It sounds stupid.
[12:47] ---
    Throughout history, few have had
    the courage to look the world in the face,
[12:51] ---
    much less try to save it.
    I have nothing but respect for that.
[13:00] ---
    It's much easier said than done.
[13:03] ---
    You know how difficult it is,
    but you try nevertheless.
[13:05] ---
    That's all the more commendable.
[13:10] ---
    Actually, when I was a child,
    I used to say something even sillier.
[13:14] ---
    Oh? And what was that?
[13:17] ---
    A long time ago, someone once
    told me that he couldn't go on living.
[13:22] ---
    He asked me what the point of it was,
    what the meaning of life was.
[13:30] ---
    You know what I said to him then?
[13:32] ---
    What?
[13:39] ---
    I said...
[13:44] ---
    "If you see no reason to live,
    then at least live for me."
[13:49] ---
    "If you don't see the point in living,
    then use me as a reason to go on."
[13:57] ---
    What in the world was I thinking?
[14:00] ---
    I wouldn't even be able
    to say those words now.
[14:04] ---
    Being the meaning of one
    person's life is heavy enough
[14:09] ---
    without trying to save
    the world on top of it!
[14:14] ---
    I wonder how he's doing these days.
[14:21] ---
    Wanting to save the world when you were
    young was courageous, but very silly.
[14:28] ---
    I know.
[14:31] ---
    That is, it was silly,
    but very courageous.
[14:36] ---
    Thank you, truly.
[14:38] ---
    Don't mention it.
[14:40] ---
    But Your Highness, you've
    told me quite a lot about yourself.
[14:44] ---
    Don't you want to know
    why I approached you?
[14:47] ---
    People cross paths as destiny ordains.
[14:50] ---
    If you don't want to tell me,
    then you won't.
[14:51] ---
    Besides, even if I sent you packing,
[14:54] ---
    you could just come back
    with a different appearance.
[14:58] ---
    You certainly have that power.
    Let's just go with the flow.
[15:01] ---
    And what if my real
    appearance is hideous?
[15:05] ---
    Would you still want to see it?
[15:08] ---
    If that were the case...
[15:10] ---
    What if I'm a ferocious-looking beast?
[15:15] ---
    I'd still want to see.
[15:21] ---
    Because we're friends now, and friends
    should be honest with each other.
[15:24] ---
    Don't worry. As long
    as it's the real you, I'll...
[15:32] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:40] ---
    What's so funny?
    Did I say something wrong?
[15:44] ---
    Not at all. You're absolutely right.
[15:46] ---
    You don't sound very sincere.
[15:48] ---
    Never mind. I'm going to sleep.
[15:54] ---
    Next time, if you don't mind,
[15:57] ---
    I'll show up as the real me.
[16:01] ---
    Don't talk, I'm trying to sleep.
[16:19] ---
    I swear to you...
[16:21] ---
    On earth or in heaven, you'll never
    meet anyone as sincere as I am!
[18:29] ---
    Lian! Lian!
[18:34] ---
    Lian!
[18:36] ---
    Lian! I feel like there's something
    missing from your temple.
[19:18] ---
    What about paintings of gods?
[19:21] ---
    I can paint, too! I'll help you.
