Tell him that I need to examine his wound.
I did hear earlier that you know the practice of alchemy.
Which is the only reason I spared your life. You must cure the Lion King.
I'll do my best.
He's just trying to treat your wound. Why are you throwing such a big tantrum?
How is it?
The energy from the sword has already crushed the bottom of his heart.
He probably can't endure for much longer.
There's not much I can do.
If you die,
I will also stop living.
You must not die. Do you understand?
You must not die. You definitely cannot die.
Cannot.
- What are you doing?! - I'm going to refine the sword energy in his body.
This way, I can at least alleviate some of his suffering.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
A magical beast like this shouldn't die without honor.
Eat this. This is a gift from the Lion King. It's the Companion Amethyst Source.
This is the Companion Amethyst Source?
Every year, several hundred people lose their lives
coming here for it.
You may leave. Light a fire in the entrance to the cave
and burn us as completely as possible. It's also a good way to end our friendship.
I can't take this Companion Amethyst Source.
The Little Lion King is in here, right?
Leave it for him. When he grows up later, he'll have a good memory of his mother.
Why are you being so wishy-washy?
Being born or being buried is nothing unusual at all.
Besides, when the Little Lion King grows up, he'll have his own Companion Amethyst Source.
Touch him. He'll remember you in the future.
Fine. You may leave now.
Remember to start a fire in the entrance to the cave so that the Lion King and I will be cremated together.
I know that being born and being buried is nothing unusual. Even a magical beast like this had a mother.
Don't tell me you emerged from inside the crack of a rock? I can cure the condition of your body distressed from poison within.
Afterward, just let me take you back home. All right?
A moment ago, what did you say your name was?
Xiao Yan.
Grandmother Xiao, quickly get lost!
I’m not leaving. Tell me where your parents are. I’ll go find them.
I won’t let you die here alone.
- Or else, what? - What do you mean “or else”? How old are you?
I have many good friends by my side. They’re all good people. I can introduce them to you.
I don’t like good people.
- Then... Then you can deal with me, all right? - I don’t want to deal with you.
- Then what about the Little Lion King? - Let the heavens take care of it.
Let the heavens take care of it? Everyone on this mountain wants to kill it.
You and the Lion King go see the King of Hell. What about him? I saw you tearing up just now.
That doesn’t mean anything.
At least it shows you can like a beast. If you can like a beast, you can like people.
I don’t like people. I like my mother,
but I can't find her. Maybe she's already dead.
- My mother is already dead, too. - That's good. In that case, I'll greet her when I go down there. (in the netherworld)
- In this world, there must be someone who cares about you. Right? - No. There isn't.
- Then, where is your father? - If I were to return, my father wouldn't want me either.
What?! Why?
He said I was too ugly.
- Nonsense. You’re very pretty. - I have a body distressed from a poison within. - I can treat it.
- My father said no man will want me in the future! - I would!
What did you say?
I...
I... A moment ago...
I’d definitely want you.
Why do you want me?
I want you to come back with me to receive treatment.
I want you to live like a normal girl.
I want you to be by my side instead of staying inside this rotten cave every day
with these poisonous insects, centipedes, and snakes.
You’re feeling sorry for me.
I like you.
Then will you marry me?
Yes. I will marry you.
I must also bring you to see your father
and tell him that this is a very good girl,
but she belongs to me now.
My father was wrong.
It wasn't that no one would want me.
Xiao Yan. My name is Xiao Yixian.
Have you remembered it?
I’m Xiao Yixian.
I'll remember.
