▶EP20💖Zhao Lusi as the Fallen Goddess❗Forced to Marry Cheng Yi the Demon King|赴山海 #zhaolusi #chengyi
Jiu? Jiu? Sister Pei! Sister Pei. Sister Pei. Don’t kill her. You really care about her, don’t you? I just don’t think you should alert them. After all, our target is Zhao Yuanzhou. I’ll wait for it to dry. Just a small patch is wet. Why bother? Bai Jiu, we need to check your wrist. I am indeed from Chongwu Camp. You’re very curious, aren’t you? Yes, I am. When did he start to seal my five senses? You each take one. I made these detoxification pills myself. Taste. What do you want from me? This is the new version of Huanling Powder I developed. Are you ready? Smell. I feel nothing. I even want to laugh. I’m so scared. Sight. Then why are you covering my eyes? Cover your own eyes. I can’t see the road. It’s so scary. What’s that sound? Put this on. I think something is definitely wrong with this voice. Don’t listen. Hearing. I never expected that seemingly harmless Little Bunny could be so meticulous. To accomplish great things, one must not only have good foresight but also patience to set up the game step by step. Zhao Yuanzhou, from the moment you entered Tiandu City, you have been stepping into this chessboard, bit by bit. Where do you think the list of these five people in the vanguard squad formed by the Demon Hunting Bureau came from? Didn’t Mr. Zhuo make it? So it was you. To obtain your inner core, we must seal your five senses. Bai Jiu could do that for me. However, he lacks experience and needs someone to protect him. Ms. Pei, you don’t think our Chongwu Camp is a place you can enter or exit at will, do you? You deliberately arranged for me to leave Chongwu Camp and then be noticed by the Demon Hunting Bureau. Ms. Pei, not only are you a good archer, but you are also the bodyguard of the Prime Minister. Moreover, you have a grudge against Chongwu Camp. Who else would the Demon Hunting Bureau choose besides an outstanding talent like you? Besides, you just suffered the loss of your younger brother. When facing Bai Jiu, would there be any emotional projection? Over time, when you grow deep feelings for him, you will surely risk your life to protect him. Bai Jiu calls you “Sister Pei” every day; you must be enjoying that, right? Despicable. If Bai Jiu couldn’t succeed, I would still have a backup plan. Even Mr. Zhuo is one of your pawns. Zhuo Yichen is the leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau. It was reasonable for him to join the vanguard squad. Besides, he has the Cloud Light Sword. He’s the only one who can kill you. As for Baize Goddess… I’ll cooperate with Li Lun to help him destroy the Baize Token. I promise I’ll give you Zhao Yuanzhou’s inner core. What about your promise to me? To merge the Baize Token hidden in you and Wen Xiao, we naturally need to bind you together to endure hardships so that you can understand each other. Now, there’s only one last step left to seal your five senses. I just need to use a silver needle to seal your touch, and everything will be accomplished. What does a mortal like you want with my inner core? Who wants your foul inner core? From the beginning, what I want is always the Ever-Burning Wood. It’s been such a hard journey. I finally found the Ever-Burning Wood that he wants. It is said that this is the last piece of Ever-Burning Wood in the world. We must keep a close watch on it. Eight years ago, you inhaled the last piece of Ever-Burning Wood that I had found with great difficulty. I have been looking for you for eight years. Go ahead, my disciple. Bai Jiu, aren’t we your friends? Don’t come any closer. I don’t want to hurt you. You’ve already said so much; how could I possibly just let Little Bunny stick a needle in me? What’s wrong, Zhao Yuanzhou? It seems like you can’t cast your spells. Jiu, think it through. Stop. [Book of Rites] As expected, at the critical moment, you still wished for him to live and didn’t want him to die. Don’t worry. Whether it’s Mr. Fan’s order or the Prime Minister’s, it cannot suppress me. The only one who can kill Zhao Yuanzhou is me. I won’t be anyone’s executioner. Well, if we restore the Baize Token and are ultimately able to suppress Zhao Yuanzhou’s malicious energy, will you still kill him? The Yao Water was polluted, and the Divine Wood went missing. The “if” you mentioned seems too distant to hope for. I won’t answer such a hopeless hypothetical. But what if the hope is not distant? What do you mean? Zhao Yuanzhou once mentioned to me that the clues about the Divine Wood are in Situ’s Mansion. Situ’s Mansion? Mr. Zhuo. Mr. Situ Ming. Mr. Zhuo, please take Ms. Wen Xiao away through the back door now. Mr. Situ, why are you so panicked? What happened? Zhen Mei, what are you doing? Wen Xiao from the Demon Hunting Bureau murdered the Prime Minister, resisted arrest, and fled, committing a grave crime. Chongwu Camp has been ordered to capture her. Those who block the way will be killed. The Prime Minister was murdered. Chongwu Camp is here to arrest the criminal. They claimed the murderer is… is Ms. Wen Xiao. Utterly absurd! How could it possibly be Wen Xiao? Many of the Prime Minister’s attendants witnessed Wen Xiao publicly stop the horse. They said that after Wen Xiao got into the carriage, she brutally killed the Prime Minister. The blood dripped all the way. All the servants saw with their own eyes that inside the carriage, [Book of Rites] the Prime Minister’s body was mutilated. Wen Xiao was covered in blood and ran away. Nonsense! Wen Xiao was in the Demon Hunting Bureau all night. All the guards can testify to that. I was here all night, being punished with house arrest by my father. Chongwu Camp is clearly framing me. In such a serious event as the Prime Minister’s murder, they wouldn’t casually frame anyone unless they were absolutely confident. There must be something fishy going on. The situation is unclear now, and there are a bunch of witnesses on both sides. We cannot prove our innocence. Mr. Zhuo, you should take Ms. Wen Xiao and leave now. Before Chongwu Camp closes the city gates, I’ll take Wen Xiao and leave the city as soon as possible. No. I’m not leaving the city. They think I will escape. So, at this moment, Tiandu City is the safest place. That’s true. But Tiandu City is not that large. Chongwu Camp has ample forces in Tiandu City. They could search the entire city in two or three days. By the time they realize… So, Mr. Situ, please shelter me. What? Urgent matters need flexible solutions. It’s not up to you. I’d like to see who dares to stop me. I do. [Arrest Warrant] King Xiang has issued an urgent decree to capture the true murderer, Wen Xiao, who killed the Prime Minister. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be regarded as having committed the same crime. Go in and arrest her. Commander, we have searched the entire Demon Hunting Bureau and haven’t found her. Close the city gate immediately. and launch a citywide search. Inspect all inns and taverns, and issue a wanted notice for the serious criminal, Wen Xiao. Come out. Let’s go. Go inside. Mr. Situ, I never expected your home to have such a rustic charm. Hurry inside. Don’t let others see you. Come on. What’s wrong with that room? Why is it sealed? Oh. That’s my wife’s bedroom. She has been bedridden for many years because of her illness and is sensitive to light and wind. It has been like this for years. Ms. Wen Xiao, come. Follow me. Okay. Jiu hasn’t been home for a long time. How about you stay in his room for now? What a coincidence. You’re here too? You’re here too? I didn’t expect it was Bai Jiu. Yeah, I didn’t expect it was him either. I actually didn’t expect you to be hunted down across the entire city. Impressive. What’s so surprising about that? Since Mr. Situ is willing to take me in, I can take the chance to investigate the clues about the Divine Wood. It’s you guys who are weird. Why are you here? To find the Divine Wood, of course. Commander Zhuo, this is the carriage the Prime Minister was in when he was murdered. It was just sent here. What’s the smell? The attendants said that this murderer is highly skilled and killed the Prime Minister silently in one strike. Book of Rites? The Prime Minister should have memorized a classic book like this long ago. Why was he still reading it? The pages of this copy of the Book of Rites are yellowed. It must be quite old. The edges are worn, indicating it has been frequently read. However, the binding threads are new, suggesting it is highly cherished. Only by reading the works of sages can one be sensible and discern the true good and evil, right and wrong in the world. [Book of Rites] If one day I pass the imperial examinations, I will do something for the people of the world… Perhaps… the Prime Minister was just reminiscing about something. At present, rumors are swirling throughout the city, and tales of the demoness who eats humans are incessant. They all say the Prime Minister was eaten by a demoness, leaving only his skeleton. Mr. Fan, you raised Wen Xiao. Don’t you know whether she is human or a demon? Of course I know it’s not Wen Xiao. The demoness must be someone else. What’s strange is that everyone present saw… it was Wen Xiao who stopped the carriage. Where is the Prime Minister’s body? Sulfur? The people from Chongwu Camp have taken the Prime Minister’s body away amid the chaos. Then these bones… This is another murder case that recently happened outside Tiandu City. A woodcutter was killed on his way home after chopping wood in the forest. His family believes he was killed by a demon, so they brought the remains to our Demon Hunting Bureau. The remains of the deceased are quite similar to those of the Prime Minister. I’m thinking that the bones have a smell of sulfur, and there was also a lingering sulfur smell in the carriage. Sulfur? What kind of demon has a sulfuric smell? It should be Ao Yin. Ying Lei? Why are you here? Mr. Zhuo. Did anything happen to Mount Kunlun? Kunlun is fine for now. Currently, the Mountain God, Mr. Lu Wu, along with several other mountain gods, is guarding the stone pillar. I came here because I successfully purified the Yao Water. Mr. Zhuo. Great. I was going to return it to the Goddess. However, as soon as I entered Tiandu City… It’s truly audacious, even daring to kill the Prime Minister. It’s said that it even eats people. It’s a female demon, right? So there really are man-eating demons in the Demon Hunting Bureau. People are in panic now. The authorities have issued a wanted notice. Quickly catch her. A vicious female demon? Appeared in the Demon Hunting Bureau? It seems I need to help the Goddess. [Wanted Notice] Goddess… Goddess! I learned that the Goddess is wanted. It turns out she was framed by Ao Yin. What exactly is Ao Yin? Ao Yin is a bloodthirsty beast with claws like blades, residing in the volcanic area of the West Wilderness. It particularly likes eating human brains and hearts. It moves swiftly and is adept at hiding its tracks, preferring to travel alone under the cover of darkness. Volcanic areas happen to be rich in sulfur. Exactly. Is there any way to find her? Of course. My lord, we have discovered that Zhen Mei is gathering soldiers from Chongwu Camp and preparing to take action. I’ll go and find Wen Xiao first. I’ll leave the matter of Ao Yin to you. Don’t worry. Well, I ran away, and you ran away too. Chongwu Camp must be furious now. Chongwu Camp has been busy capturing demons to conduct research. Creating a little chaos for them would distract them. Wen Zongyu has already affected your four senses. If your last sense is sealed with a silver needle, wouldn’t you be… As a great demon, how could I be so easily stripped of my inner core? You’d better worry about how to clear your name from the charge of murdering the Prime Minister. I didn’t expect that Wen Zongyu, who seems like a skilled doctor with a kind heart, could be so terrifying behind the scenes. He’s been hiding his true face. There are many people who have been hiding their true faces. They should be bringing people to search here soon. Jiu. Jiu? Why are you back? I’m here to see my mother. Oh. Our friend is back. Didn’t you say that once I return to Tiandu, I would see my mother? Yes. Jiu, have you eaten yet? Would you like something to eat? I’ll go make you something you like. Mr. Situ, please prepare three more sets of chopsticks and bowls. There are three more people here. Zhao Yuanzhou? Ms. Pei? Why are you here? You escaped from the dungeon in Chongwu Camp? Why did you just run off? What? Are you going to Chongwu Camp to report again? Zhao Yuanzhou, what nonsense are you talking about? I think you all have misunderstood. I wrote that letter on purpose. I was afraid that our Jiu would be in danger, so I sent… It’s not a misunderstanding. Bai Jiu is indeed a spy from Chongwu Camp. A spy? Why did you help Chongwu Camp? Do you remember what I said to you when the pagoda spirit tied you up? Jiu, Let me ask you seriously. Are you hiding something from us? I remember. Then let me ask you seriously one more time. Are you hiding something from us? So, would you rather be a traitor or be my friend? You choose. Mr. Zhuo, will you… still believe what I say? As long as you say it, I will believe you. Everything I did was for my mother. ♫Has anyone seen a bird with a broken tail?♫ Jiu, Mommy is coming to find you. ♫The rain wet its feathers♫ Ten. Nine. Eight. ♫There’re no worries in its eyes♫ Seven. Six. Five. ♫It just wants to sleep on a roof♫ Four. Three. Two.

Okay. ♫Life is grand♫ ♫Yet so small♫ Why did you throw away my cabinet? ♫I hope everything is fine♫ Jiu, that cabinet is old and broken.

Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Jiu! -Jiu.
-Mom! Come here! Come here! -Don’t go out.
-I want to save my mom! Don’t go out! Your mom is fine. Jiu, you’re dreaming. When you wake up tomorrow morning, it’ll be fine. Mom! Mom, open the door, please. I’ll be good and not play hide-and-seek anymore. I’ll throw away the cabinet. open the door, please. Mom, today is my birthday. I’ve grown taller and tanned a bit. I’ve also learned a lot from many medical books. I will definitely cure you. Are you really not coming out to see me? Mom, I miss you so much. Every year on my birthday, my wish is to see you. Could you please open the door? Mom, I’ve finished reading all the medical books at home. I’m going out to find the best master to learn from. One day, I will definitely cure you. You are… I’m the new apprentice. My name is… Si… My name is Bai Jiu. Master, really? Can you really bring my mom back to life? I promise you I will bring your mom back to life. But I need your help with something as well. Join the vanguard squad of the Demon Hunting Bureau. I just need you to seal Zhu Yan’s five senses. I know you have a kind heart. But Zhu Yan is a demon. Your mother was killed by a demon. If he isn’t eliminated, there will be more children like you who lost their mothers. Jiu, you really are a fool. Your mother was not killed by a demon, nor is she sick. You were deceived by Wen Zongyu. Then my mom is… Mr. Situ, don’t hide it from Jiu any longer. Where is my mom? Where is my mom? This is your mom. Nonsense. Your father is not talking nonsense. Your mother is not human. Your mother, like Ying Lei, is half god and half demon. She was born in ancient times. She’s the same age as the gods. Yes. Your mother is the descendant of the White Emperor Shaohao and the Divine Tree of Jianmu. Her true form shares the same origin as the Divine Wood that transformed into the power of Baize, inheriting its spiritual vein. Therefore, during the Blood Moon eight years ago, the disappearance of the Baize Token severely injured her. Mom! She was forced to manifest her true form. Mom! Mom! Even if my mom turned into a tree and returned to her true form, why has she never talked to me or been willing to respond? With the loss of the Baize Token and the Goddess absent from her position, the Wilderness has fallen into disarray. Therefore, Lord Bai Yan lost her soul and had no choice but to stay in her true form in the world. Mom, can you hear me? I… I’m Jiu. I’m back. I’m back. Can my mom return to her original form? As long as the Baize Token is repaired and the Wilderness is restored, your mother will come back. Why did no one tell me? You were too young at that time. I didn’t know how you would accept all of this after I told you. For an ordinary person, it’s indeed hard to accept without going through all this. But Bai Jiu has the right to know the truth. Although he is young, he is much more mature than children his age. I believe that if you had told him the truth back then, Jiu would have understood. If you had told me the truth earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t have been used by Wen Zongyu. I’m sorry. No. It was my fault. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’m sorry. I hurt you guys. All of you have been sincere to me, but I have let down your trust. Jiu. Jiu, you’ve grown up. The bond between father and son, the loyalty between friends, rights and wrongs, gains and losses— you can understand them on your own. It’s okay to make mistakes. As long as you can bear the cost of growing up and try to make amends. The sea of suffering is endless. As long as you return to the shore in time, there will still be a brilliant sunset waiting for you. In fact, the real culprit is not you, this easily fooled Little Bunny. But the truly cunning and deceitful wolf. Stop hiding. Come out.
