Firstly, something is wrong with the Poison Emperor's powers.
He still needs help from subordinates to fend off such lowly foes.
His Poison Form activation slowed significantly.
Secondly,
my spy in the palace witnessed this.
The princess' mysterious benefactor
is a mortal without magic powers.
Your Majesty, Her Highness' benefactor, Young Lord Pingqiu, is here.
- Let him in. - Okay.
Young Lord Pingqiu, please enter.
Wh-What is this?
Imperial Father summoned you. Even I can't stop this.
So you will meet him in this outfit.
Make sure you pretend to be arrogant!
"Arrogant"?
So you like arrogant men. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
You are a formidable master tonight.
Remember to hold your head high.
Father won't test your skills rashly
so pay attention to your demeanor!
My head is raised this high. It should be dignified enough,
but does wearing white really make me look like a skilled master?
Enough. You don't have to try so hard.
I am not blind yet.
Although you are a little strange, you really don't have any magic powers.
It really didn't work.
I shall be honest with you.
Trouble is brewing in the Southern Kingdom right now
so...
you can take these and leave.
What's wrong? Is it too little?
I am sorry. I don't need these right now.
Besides, I won't leave this place no matter what.
I won't leave Her Highness.
Not bad. Whatever your reasons may be,
young mortals who can reject so much wealth are rare.
You are truly a good guy.
However...
if you can offer me 200 beauties, I can consider agreeing.
It has been years since anyone dared to crack a joke when I was being serious.
You are bold.
Actually when you managed to save the princess in that situation,
I could already determine you weren't one of them.
The princess also has superb fighting skills.
Losing her powers from overuse (Qi Deviation) would be playing into their hands.
If something happens to my beloved daughter, my mind would be in a frenzy.
The best time to defeat me will eventually surface.
Well... since the princess is so important,
why didn't you guard her back then?
That is because the rumors are true.
I have an issue with my powers.
This doesn't matter anymore.
Since you don't want to leave,
you are bound to get involved in this mess
so...
are you willing to devote yourself to saving my daughter?
I never expected this.
Even though you don't have magic powers,
your body is...
So be it. If there is change, then leave it to fate to take its course.
Young Man, don't blame me for being hasty.
That's because someone is getting impatient.
Flowers aren't flowers; my heart is like a mirror
But this awakening is worth celebrating
I'm the only one who can't make a sound
Like a tenacious illness tied to fate
Witnessing life yet failing to see life
I assumed that in this mortal world everyone is waiting
Compassion and fate are medicine; everyone enjoys it very much
Why has just one person fallen out of favor?
Let me ask you, all living beings applauding for me
But I was never recognized
I could only listen but lacked the courage to appear
Even if I wanted to be a puppet, no one supported me
All living beings that go on dates with me but never get close to me
Whose soul is it?
Lend me your body for now. If I don't have a lover
Who is trapped in this interrogation and adding to my wounds?
Your Majesty, I must see you on an urgent matter.
Come in.
Yes.
Is Young Lord Pingqiu here, too?
He...
I asked him about his identity. I was too intimidating so he fainted from fright.
Don't worry about him. Tell me what you need to.
Yes. Well, not long ago, something grave occurred.
The Southern Kingdom's Poison Nobleman,
the Poison Boy, the Poison Madam, and the Poison Old Lady
were severely injured by the same person.
What?
In the end, he fought with my father, the Poison Old Man, and both were gravely injured.
That was how I captured him with the Golden Snake Heavenly Bag.
This person has profound poison skills and attacks viciously. Yet he isn't from Southern Kingdom.
I found this to be peculiar.
So I can only seek your advice.
Let him out.
But Your Majesty, he's very dangerous.
You sure are sharp.
You deserve to be Emperor of Southern Kingdom.
This has been a worthwhile trip.
Boy, thank you for bringing me into the palace.
You've saved me much trouble.
You...
I see. I've heard about you.
You're the most skilled poison wielder in the Central Plains,
but you hunt fellow poison wielders in the Central Plains.
That's why you were given the title of Deadwood Medicine Immortal.
Yes.
Although I use poisons, too, the rival of poisons is medicine.
It's a deserving title.
It's an honor for the Southern Poison Emperor to know my name.
I've come here today to see which one of us is the real King of Poisons.
If it was an ordinary day, I would be eager to fight with him.
This is...
You...
Your Majesty, where's your Poison Form?
Can't you use it?
How could you collude with outsiders to harm me?
Congratulations on your success, Master.
You must be surprised.
Your Majesty.
Ice blue hair.
Crimson eyes.
You mastered the Heavenly Silkworm Binding Venom.
Are you crazy?
Your lifespan will be reduced by 300 years or more.
I had no other choice.
Only this poison could tame venomous insects
that can deal with old pests like you.
The 300 years isn't much.
If you don't die, I can't sit on your throne even after 3,000 years.
If it were any other day,
your Heavenly Silkworm Binding Venom can't defeat me.
I know that. So this had to be the day.
As for my knowledge of this day, your old servant of many centuries told me.
He's served you for hundreds of years, but you never treated him well.
He wants only some extra money to support his wives.
But you punished him for corruption and bribery.
You really don't know how to pick subordinates.
But you still couldn't trust his information.
You're bold enough to make your move today,
only because my fight against those assassins revealed a flaw of mine.
You may leave.
Yes.
You're right.
I saw your Poison Form was just a trick when subduing those assassins.
You took them down with Pure Poison Powder.
It wasn't your demonic energy poison.
I've been spreading rumors about your illness.
So after I kill you today,
your death will be declared due to your illness.
I'll just have to wail loudly. Then I'll inherit the throne without a hitch.
A thorough plan,
well done. I admit defeat.
But can you let Luo Lan
and Young Lord Pingqiu leave the kingdom?
The internal strife of Southern Kingdom shouldn't implicate others.
Do you think you can still negotiate with me?
Do you want to know the poison skills I used to rule the southwest for 5,000 years?
My poison didn't weaken out of the blue
or fade away.
Interesting. Go on.
My poison power hasn't vanished.
It went elsewhere.
I have an Infinite Tracking Talisman from Yiqi Taoist Alliance.
Place it at the border of Southern Kingdom and Central Plains.
Let me use it to help Young Lord Pingqiu leave this place.
After that, I'll tell you the secret of the poison.
Because he's the princess' benefactor
so he has to be protected.
Otherwise, the royal family will drown in gossip.
Fishing for fame and praise.
Well, it doesn't matter if this mortal boy is killed or not.
Please go on.
All right, he's gone.
It's your turn.
Don't worry. I won't lie about it.
My poison skill is called the Thousand Revolutions Wheel of Dharma.
The powers of this skill is endless, but it has a strange feature.
Every 1000 years, the poison will retaliate against the user.
When that happens, the user can't unleash any poison.
These powers have to be fully transferred to another person.
Otherwise, the poison will kill the user.
Those who have received my skills will gain equally strong demonic powers as me.
But these people have never trained in this skill.
They don't know how to pass it on.
The treasure of the Southern Kingdom, the Four Jade Rings, need to be used.
After seven days, these Jade Rings can be used
to retrieve the powers from those people.
Not bad. It's just like what I read from ancient records.
I heard that when others use the Jade Rings,
they can also extract and absorb these powers.
You're right.
Even you can draw these powers for yourself.
But I've already transferred my powers
to Young Lord Pingqiu
whom you just sent away.
I knew you hid this trick up your sleeve.
Old Fox.
Deadwood. Tell him.
When we sent Young Lord Pingqiu away,
we also made sure to track him.
As long as we have this demon mirror,
we'll be able to find him immediately
and capture him.
What's wrong?
Master, Pingqiu is now with...
He's with the Tushan Fox Spirits.
Mister, you're awake.
Wh-Who are you?
You suddenly teleported to us.
You really startled us.
By the way, you're whom Southern Kingdom's Emperor told us about yesterday.
We went to Southern Kingdom to purchase medicinal herbs.
His Majesty helped us save a lot of money.
So leave your problem to us.
Wasn't I just with the Southern Kingdom's Emperor?
Why did I pop up here?
But so many beautiful girls are here.
I'm also in puberty now.
Dear Heavens, you're finally blessing me.
Hold on. Something isn't right.
These dignified ladies are...
Wh-What's with your ears?
You can't be... be...
We're fox spirits from Mount Tu.
We'll keep our agreement with His Majesty.
We'll take you in at Mount Tu for now.
Don't worry. We'll take good care of you.
- Wait. Don't come near me. Don't come. - We'll treat you well.
A man and woman shouldn't touch each other.
- What a surprise. - Stay away form me!
Who's so bold to spy on Tushan folks?
Master, they're really Tushan Fox Spirits.
Master, what should we do now?
Darn you, Old Man.
You're the one who colluded with the outsiders
and interfered with internal affairs of Southern Kingdom.
Don't think that sending your powers to Mount Tu
means I can't obtain it!
Tushan is nothing. They won't stop me.
Well, at least, it's not as easy as you say.
It doesn't matter if I send my powers away or not.
You'll kill me no matter what.
So I can't let you have it easy.
That's right.
No matter what, you're dying today!

The light in the dark night
Spinning in their own circles
Eager to meet promptly
Don't get trapped in the long night
Destined to miss meeting each other
Destined to have a twist
Just for a classic reunion
Battered by wind and frost on the road
Everyone has regrets
In this maze of love
We've yet to meet, but we're near each other
It seems half a lifetime passed in vain as I wait for you
Half of the clear moon has already turned away
