"Nuwa Stone" "Anyone there?" "The Earthly Emperor is here." "Open the door." "Quickly!" "Spare me!" "Spare me!" "Don't kill me." "Spare me." "Spare me." "Hey, wait for me." "Wait for me!" "Fifteen!" "Wait for me!" "Second Princess, this place is beautiful." "Yes, It's hard to imagine that this place is haunted by a demoness." "Outsiders, keep out." "We still have to keep alert" "Often, the most beautiful things hide the greatest dangers." "Brother!" "We lead a charmed life." "We can even survive from demon poisoning." "Why be afraid of a demoness?" "This flower look beautiful." "There's demon aura." "Don't simply pick it off." "How could a picked off flower still blossom?" "How weird." "Do all of you..." "Have dreams?" "Hong Hong!" "Hong Hong!" "Smells like confounding gas." "The pollen are poisonous." "We have to leave." "What about Hong Hong?" "It's too dangerous here." "We have to move to a safer place before thinking up a plan." "Yu'er!" "Zhang Lie!" "Yu'er." "Please look after Yu'er well." "Don't get close!" "Only by evading these pollen can we save them." "Where there's life, there's hope." "Let's go!" "Brother Jianchi, why don't we fight it out with that demoness?" "There's not even a sight of her shadow." "How are we to fight her?" "Exactly." "We were poisoned not long ago." "Our strength was drained." "How are we supposed to fight her?" "It would be better if we find a shelter first." "Why is this town so quiet?" "Not a figure in sight." "Is there anyone there ?" "Is there anyone there?" "!" "The yin negative energy here is very strong." "You guys be careful." "Nuwa Temple?" "Lets go check it out." "Alright." "The door is locked." "Is there a mistake?" "Such a big temple but the door's locked?" "What false holy place is this for not giving rescue?" "Let's see if there are any other ways to unlock the door." "Take a look at these few words." "The word style looks odd." "I guess the way to open the door is hidden in these words." "Four deities, three pillars, eight heavens." "Nine oxes, five tigers, epitheliums appear." "This is too complicated." "Today, I'll send you off to the next life!" "Ruyan." "Repent before it's too late." "Why do you keep going against me?" "Don't be stubborn and come to your senses." "You can stay here for the moment." "The Dragon Talisman you saw on the door could quell all demons and spirits." "Even that demoness couldn't enter at the moment." "Is the talisman that useful?" "Give me some to use then." "Thank you, elder, for your rescue." "Thank you." "Moon River City has become a ghost town." "Why did you still come here?" "To rescue people." "And to look for the Nuwa Stone." "You guys are looking for Nuwa Stone as well?" "These days, quite a number of demons and spirits wishfully think of entering Moon River city." "It's the first for humans to pass through." "Elder, just now as we hurried by, we can feel that Moon River city was once a paradise." "Why is it now filled with evil aura?" "That is because..." "The Nuwa descendent's soul has awakened." "Then that day when Kunlun Mirror sent out the appearance of Nuwa's daughter," "So that means everyone in the world was able to see it?" "Everyone?" "Don't be silly." "It's not that simple." "You guys found Kunlun Mirror?" "Yes." "We even almost lost our lives." "I've stood guard for a thousand years." "Could it be..." "You're the people I was looking for?" "Granny Ma, what did you say?" "Elder, may I ask if you and the legendary Nuwa's power are connected in any way?" "I'm just an aging woman who is near her deathbed." "My background..." "Even if I told you, you might not know it." "It's of no importance." "Then, when you fought the demoness just now, why did you go easy on her?" "He is my brother." "He's kind and good at martial arts." "This is not the time for jokes." "Move over!" "Granny Ma, I find it odd too." "The moment you saw the demoness, you told her to repent and called her Ruyan." "Ruyan was once a kind and understanding girl." "Knowing the enemy's name is the first step of defeating her." "What should we do next?" "The next is..." "Shut up!" "Madam." "Saving people is important and we don't have much time." "The Western Duke's life is at stake." "Can you tell us more about Ruyan?" "There was a time when she was like my own daughter." "She always worked at our small tavern." "Just an ordinary girl leading a normal life." "But love change her." "In order to get the one she loves, she betrayed herself and changed Moon River City into a nightmare." "Every year after mid-autumn," "Moon River city welcomes the annual love season." "We named the day as Dream Epiphyllum Festival." "Tourists from all over the world streamed in to marvel at the blooming epitheliums." "Epiphyllum symbolizes purity and persistence." "Similar to the blessings of love." "Several men and women will bring epitheliums to worship at the Nuwa Temple and pray for a happy marriage." "This time of the year is also Moon River Tavern's busiest day." "Quickly." "Give that customer a pot of wine." "Alright." "Come on, brother!" "A toast to you." "Here." "Boss, where's my order?" "It'll be here soon." "We still want to see the epitheliums." "My order!" "Hurry up!" "My order!" "We've waited long." "Exactly!" "Hurry up!" "Did you hear me?" "Are you blind?" "What's all this?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "We're sorry, sir!" "We're sorry." "It was unintentional." "None of your business." "Raise your head when I'm talking to you." "I'm sorry." "Raise your head!" "So ugly!" "Get lost!" "Brother, brother..." "Don't be angry." "A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fist." "It's none of your business." "Come, let's continue our drinks." "Let's drink." "Don't be angry." "Yes." "Fill it up." "Sir, I think you should apologize to this lady." "Why should I apologize?" "She knocked into me." "The world is full of trash like you." "That's why it has come to this state." "Who do you think you are?" "How dare you put on airs in front of me?" "I didn't mean anything." "I just hope you'll apologize to this lady." "You!" "I'll apologize!" "I'll apologize!" "Miss, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I was wrong." "Aren't you going to leave?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Go, go, go." "Master Lv." "Sir, thank you." "In this world, no matter if you're rich or poor, ugly or beautiful, everyone is of equal status." "Only those who respect the others deserve respect." "Miss, did he scare you?" "No, no." "If they dare to come again, feel free to look for me." "I'm Lv Chengzhi." "Western Duke, Lv Chengzhi travels around the world, befriending the elite." "Since his arrival to Moon River City that year and seeing the beauty of the blooming epitheliums, he'll come with his friends to admire the flowers in the subsequent years while talking about the world and national affairs." "Since then, Ruyan has secretly fallen for Lv Chengzhi." "The man who faced her ugliness with a sincere smile." "But Ruyan feels inferior." "She has no courage to confess her feelings." "She could only wait and watch Lv Chengzhi in the dark." "That sufficed her." "Very good." "We'll do it this way." "Alright." "Here." "Have a cup of tea." "Why don't you go?" "Aren't you worried he'll be starved?" "You waited a year for him already." "Cherish every minute and second of it." "Go, go." "The world of today is disastrous." "The monarch's tyrannical." "The officials are treacherous." "Calamities perpetually happen." "The world in chaos." "The common people are the first to bear the brunt." "I think it's time to find a new ruler for the people." "Yes." "Miss Ruyan." "I didn't want to disturb you." "Thanks, Miss Ruyan." "I hope the plan will be sucessful." "Here." "Eat." "A toast with song." "Amidst the peaceful world." "No pressing calls at the door." "A monarch with virtues and wisdom." "(Poetry by Cao Cao)" "Miss Ruyan." "I'm sorry." "I drank too much." "It's no problem." "Thanks, Miss Ruyan." "I'm sorry I disturbed you." "It's okay." "Miss Ruyan, excuse my bluntness." "Don't keep drooping your head." "Raise it up." "I..." "I look scary." "You have to believe in yourself." "You're the best." "Do not care about how others look at you." "Live happily for yourself." "You're the best." "I'm the best." "Miss Ruyan." "Have confidence in yourself." "I'm leaving." "You're leaving?" "We'll meet again next year." "From that day on..." "Ruyan had more confidence in herself and she was happier." "Year after year." "Flowers bloomed and faded." "Ruyan waited everyday for the day when epitheliums will bloom." "Waiting for her love." "The flowers are going to bloom soon." "Looks like Lv Chengzhi will be here soon." "I sometimes think Lv Chengzhi is like this flower." "And my heart..." "Blooms like the epitheliums." "Haven't you changed because of him?" "Here" "Say it to me." ""I'm the best."" "I..." "Be braver!" "He won't like me." "That's right." "Grandma also thinks that I'm delusional?" "No." "Grandma doesn't want you to be weak like before." "Can I really directly confess my love for him?" "That can't happen." "You forgot?" "What Lv Chengzhi admired the most is that you're kind-hearted." "Go." "Go tell him how you feel." "What happens after doesn't matter." "Whats important is that can be brave." "You can face your own feelings." "Can I really?" "Of course." "Open your heart and pour out your feelings." "Let others understand you." "Also learn to embrace yourself." "Get close to the others." "Granny really dotes on you." "Granny hopes that you'll have a blissful future." "Look." "She's so ugly and yet she's here to seek for love affinity." "On what aspect is she qualified to have conjugal felicity?" "If I were her, I'd rather hang myself." "So ugly!" "Can anyone be uglier?" "Let's go, let's go." "Look at her." "She's dead ugly." "Exactly." "Miss Ruyan." "It's been a year since we've last seen each other." "Master Lv." "You look great today." "Stop pulling my leg." "I just picked two flowers." "It's for you." "Miss Ruyan, can you go to a place with me?" "Miss Ruyan, do you think Goddess Nuwa will fulfill our wishes today?" "Lady Nuwa, even though I, Lv Chengzhi, was born of Sui's royalty," "I have traveled the world since young." "I have seen that all the people are living in pain." "I do not have any desires or wishes but I only hope that Lady Nuwa will protect me and allow me to overcome all challenges to give a new air to the world." "Lady Nuwa, I don't wish to be greedy." "I only hope that I can be with the one I love." "Even if it's only one moment." "I will be satisfied." "Miss Ruyan, look at how beautiful this year's flowers are." "It turns out that saying what your heart believes is such a happy event." "Miss Ruyan, I give this portrait to you." "For me?" "This woman is so beautiful." "The person in the drawing is Miss Ruyan." "Me?" "But..." "My look scares people." "In my eyes, this is what you look like." "Your heart is pretty." "Kindness makes you become beautiful." "This is the "Ruyan" in Master Lv's heart?" "What I see is a person's heart." "If everyone is as caring as Miss Ruyan, that would be perfect." "Miss Ruyan, I should leave." "So fast." "Perhaps this will be my last time coming here." "The last time?" "Why?" "Instead of conversing annually, a man should act on his words and truly do something for the people." "In the past years, I have become acquainted with heroes from all over." "Everyone is all prepared." "Miss Ruyan, take care." "Master Lv." "Ruyan likes you..." "I really like you." "I've liked you for a long time now." "It was you who gave me confidence." "It was you who made me realize that I can love." "Lv Chengzhi, I like you." "Miss Ruyan, you must be mistaken." "I gave you this painting as a farewell gift." "There are no other meanings." "Perhaps Ruyan presumed too much." "Miss Ruyan." "I understand." "Don't come near me!" "Why?" "Why was I so stupid?" "I knew there was no possibility." "I knew in this lifetime, I'd always have to look down and avoid people's gazes." "Why did I still recklessly confess?" "Star..." "Star..." "Do you also pity me?" "You also think Ruyan's ridiculous, right?" "Chengzhi left." "He won't ever return to Moon River City." "It turned out that my waiting every year is the only hope from my painful life." "But what do I have to hope for now?" "Why do I still want to live?" "Goodbye Moon River City." "Perhaps if I die, no one will cry for me and I won't scare anyone away anymore." "Star." "Did You hear me?" "Can you give me a good dream?" "I can become pretty." "I want Lv Chengzhi." "We will be together forever." "Just then why did you have to cry?" "Who are you?" "I am you." "The you inside your heart." "You are very pretty." "Yet you are ugly." "Why did you appear?" "Didn't you want a beautiful dream?" "A beautiful dream?" "You and I should both thank that Crimson Demonic Star." "It has always listened to our wishes." "I am like you." "We both want Chengzhi's love and be with him forever, right?" "He won't like me." "Isn't this the you inside Chengzhi's heart?" "What if you can be like me and have my looks?" "Ruyan!" "Ruyan." "Ruyan!" "Ruyan!" "How can you be so silly?" "Why must you look down and be looked upon?" "Because I am ugly." "No one wants to be near me." "Does having an ugly appearance mean you have to be looked down upon?" "Be teased?" "Be abandoned?" "Did anyone respect you?" "Did anyone love you?" "In Moon River City, everyone treated you like a monster or an ugly beast." "Has anybody treated you like a person?" "No, Grandmother Ma treats me like family." "She's always encouraging me." "Wrong, she is tricking you." "She pushed you forward so that everyone will laugh at you." "Is that treating you well?" "She only wants to see the face you have now, shame!" "So that you can't lift up your head for the rest of your life." "That can't be." "It's all grandma's fault." "I harmed you." "Ruyan, be strong." "My good Ruyan." "Have you seen her laugh at you?" "It's not like that." "Have you seen her pity you?" "Don't." "Don't you want everything to be beautiful?" "Can I?" "You can have vengeance on everyone." "You can keep Chengzhi by your side forever." "Can I?" "The Crimson Demonic Star heard your prayers." "It gave you the ability to create dreams." "In a dream, everyone will submit to you." "In my dreams?" "Everyone will submit to me?" "I won't be looked down upon and I won't be teased?" "Yes!" "You will escape your pains." "Be with Chengzhi forever." "Are you willing?" "I'm willing!" "I'm willing to use my everything to exchange for a beautiful dream." "Than have a beautiful dream." "Wait." "Don't." "My Lord, it's prepared." "This way." "Don't go." "Miss, you are?" "You don't recognize me?" "Ruyan?" "!" "How did you become like this?" "Don't you like it?" "Isn't this the me inside your heart?" "Now we can finally be together." "Ruyan, don't be like this." "You don't like me ugly." "Now that I've become pretty, what else do you want?" "In love, being pretty or ugly doesn't matter." "I want to focus my entire heart on the nation." "I don't want to have a relationship." "Miss Ruyan." "Please forgive Chengzhi." "I better go." "Don't you dare leave!" "Ruyan, why did you become like this?" "You despise me too right?" "I did so much for you." "You don't love me!" "?" "I want you to remain in a dream." "Forever with me!" "Ruyan." "Why do you have such an evil aura around you?" "I will subdue everything." "I want to punish all of Moon River City's people!" "Including you!" "Ruyan don't do anything foolish." "Repent and turn back." "You want me to face myself truthfully and talk about my feelings?" "I did it!" "Why did it still end up like this?" "You cannot continue doing wrong things like this, Ruyan." "If you continue to commit wrongs, don't blame me for fighting." "So you've finally revealed your true face to me, Grandma Ma." "That proves you have always been lying to me." "I don't mind Chengzhi not loving me." "I mind people's glances." "I mind people's laugh." "I've had enough!" "I want all the people in Moon River City" "I want the whole world to live in a nightmare." "Ruyan!" "Nuwa Goddess." "Your servant has no choice but to borrow your strength to prevent evil from spreading across the land!" "No one can separate us!" "Moon River City cannot be saved!" "Help!" "Help!" "Actually Ruyan is also a victim." "Even if she was a victim, she can't use her sorrow and afflict pain on others." "It was me who harmed Ruyan and destroyed the whole Moon River City." "Grandmother Ma, stop blaming yourself." "You have me and the unbeatable Brother Jianchi." "There's no problems in saving people." "Grandmother Ma." "If we wake up the sleeping Nuwa descendant in the Nuwa Temple, can we use Nuwa's strength to defeat Ruyan and save all those people?" "You are correct." "The Nuwa reincarnation is the Nuwa stone." "If we can awaken Nuwa's descendant and use Nuwa Stone's ability, we can reawaken Moon River City." "You can depend on me, the Earthly Emperor." "You are Earthly Emperor?" "Don't listen to Da Huang brag." "The Earthly Emperor?" "!" "He's the Earthly Yellow Dog!" "Only the Earthly Emperor can awaken the Nuwa descendant." "Did you hear that?" "Madam, why do you understand so much about Nuwa Goddess?" "If there's truly an Earthly Emperor amongst you," "I will tell you my identity." "It really sounds unbelievable." "Grandma Ma." "Why don't you tell us what methods there are to awaken Nuwa's descendant?" "There is no other way." "Only when the true Earthly Emperor appears will Nuwa's descendant naturally and wake up slowly." "This is so simple." "Because I am!" "After I, the Earthly Emperor gives Nuwa's descendant a wake up kiss..." ""A toad lusting after a swan's flesh."" "It's good if you are, it's okay if you aren't." "You don't have much time." "Why?" "Godly Dragon Thunder Array will be activated soon." "So you have already prepared to destroy yourself along with Ruyan?" "Since I cannot defend against Ruyan's powers," "I cannot let down the world." "If there is a need, we can only destroy the city along with us." "But you cannot destroy all of Moon River City." "Then would Nuwa's descendant also be destroyed?" "The demon and devil realms have always been greedy for Nuwa Stone's revival capabilities." "So thousands of years ago," "Nuwa has prepared for the worst case scenario." "If the Earthly Emperor never appears," "Even if Moon River City has to be destroyed, we cannot let the Nuwa Stone be used by the devil and demon realms." "Let's not talk about who the Earthly Emperor is." "Elder, what can we do?" "The first step to breaking the setup is the riddle in front of the temple." "Riddle?" "Riddle?" "I hope that amongst you, there really is the Earthly Emperor that can awaken the Nuwa Descendant and save Moon River City." "Let's hurry." "Let's go."
