**[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.
