Let's not hold back anymore.

Calm yourself.

I can't... just looking at your gorgeous face.

Then stop looking.

You're terrible.

Welcome, you two! To the Gao Family Inn.

This way, please... you came just in time.

It's empty now,

but soon it will be crowded.

Allow me

to present our signature dish.

Take a look.

This is our famous roast pig... freshly made.

Crispy skin, tender meat,

juicy... yet not greasy.

How do they make such delicious roast pig?

Even the decor here is unique.

Look at those gorgeous candelabrum.

But not as gorgeous as you, of course.

Must you keep talking about my looks?

Are you so shallow?

What girl doesn't want a handsome boy?

Come on... don't be angry.

Come on... let me look at you.

Look until you get so sick of me and die.

Did you get enough?

How come you're still alive?

What did you think of our roast pig?

It was great! Did you make it?

No, no. The owner KL Hog is our chef.

Presenting the "Master of Meat"

Um... yummy and tasty.

Sir, how did you make the pork so delicious?

Hey! She asked you a question.

So rude of you not to answer.

Come, let's go!

Sir... please join us.

I have so much to say to you.

Come on... let's go!

Or you won't get to see my gorgeous face.

Oh, really? Thank goodness!

I was just joking.

Why would I want you to be upset?

Just turn away.

I'm already upset.

You're so mean.

Sir, do you find me unattractive?

Then why won't you talk to me?

Please just say something.

I beg you... please talk to me.

Welcome to the Gao Family Inn!

You certainly have good taste.

All our guests

love our food and dcor.

Look at our stylish candelabrum.

Doesn't it feel romantic?

From the number of repeat customers...

...you can tell how good our food is.

Come...

This is our signature dish.

Our famous roast pig.

It's crispy outside, yet tender inside.

It melts in your mouth.

I guarantee you'll be back for more.

We're very busy today.

Please wait... I'll find a table for you.

Sir.

I have a table for you. This way please.

I'm a demon-hunter.

Just reveal yourself.

What do you mean?

Oh really?! Go ahead!

Okay, you're asking for it.

Miss, can I help?

Yes! How can I help?

Get lost.

Sure.

Please no more. I'm gonna explode!

Can you be more gentle? Thanks.

Enough of this!

Just come out!

Come on!

Come on!

Come out and help.

I've been waiting to help. What should I do?

I've got the demon's essence in his throat.

Now go suck it out quickly.

Okay.

How do I suck it out?

With your mouth.

You mean you want me to use my mouth...

...to suck it out?

How else?

Got it!

May I ask... is there another method?

Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!

How about I hold him down

and you suck instead?

What do you think?

You idiot! Stop fooling around!

Or we'll gonna die!

Okay, fine. I can do this.

Sorry... I can't.

Run!

He won't come chasing after us, will he?

No, he's injured, too.

Are you all right?

No big deal... it's nothing.

Give me a hand.

Demon hunters don't care about formalities.

Push this pressure point for me.

That Pig Demon was very powerful.

Of course.

We could receive the highest bounty for him.

Isn't that what you're here for?

I'm not doing this for money.

I'm doing this to help the people.

With skills like yours?

You must have a death wish.

I don't care.

That weapon of yours is amazing.

It's my demon-hunting heirloom...

the Infinite Flying Ring.

Infinite Flying Ring.

You're wounded.

What?

Your nose is bleeding.

A little too much excitement.

I'm Chen Xuan Zang. What's your name?

My name is Duan.

Miss Duan... thank you for saving my life.

You're thanking me?

Miss Duan, Miss Duan.

When a girl closes her eyes,

it means she wants you to kiss her.

Stop pretending.

Come on... you know you want to.

Xuan Zang. So... how did it go last night?

What are you talking about?

You were flirting.

What do you mean, Master? That's impossible.

How do you feel about romantic love?

That's just Lesser Love...

it's got nothing to do with me.

I'm in search of Greater Love.

Want a bite?

No.

Master, please don't.

It's against our beliefs.

Eating the goose is just a physical act.

You may want something but you say otherwise.

That's the little 'something'.

How dare you eat my goose leg! Have you paid?!

I have no money.

No money?!

Stop right there, baldy!

Stop running!

Master, so you knew

about the Pig Demon all along.

The man's name was KL Hog.

He was as ugly as a boar...

...but he was a kind man.

He loved his wife dearly,

but she cheated on him with a handsome man.

They murdered him with a nine-pronged rake.

When his love turned to hatred,

he became a demon.

He swore he would kill all women

lusting after handsome men.

How tragic for him.

Master,

I'm unable to handle such a strong demon.

Maybe you should take over.

Well, sure... but I'm quite busy these days.

To defeat such a powerful demon...

...you must go

find the strongest King among kings.

He might teach you

the secrets of conquering demons.

Who is he?

The Monkey King, who has been imprisoned...

...by Buddha under

Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years.

Monkey King?

He's just a legend... no one has ever seen him.

He's quite easy to find.

At the foot of Five Fingers Mountain...

...look for an old temple.

In front of it,

you can find a statue of Buddha.

...13,000 feet high and 2,560 feet wide.

The Monkey King is there.

Really? It's that easy?

You'd have to be blind...

...to miss something 13,000 by 2,560 feet.

There's no time like the present. Get going.

Also, that Monkey King...

...is tricky, evil and full of hatred.

Be careful.

How do I convince him to help me?

Use your knowledge... and this

300 Nursery Rhymes

We've come here from the West to hunt demons!

Any demon-hunters are our enemies.

We kill demons and demon-hunters too!

No matter how strong you are,

you're dead if you meet us.

Are you a demon-hunter?

I'm not a demon-hunter.

But you're out so late at the demon's lair.

You still deny it?

Are you a demon-hunter?

Me?

Wait!

He's my husband. We just had a fight...

...I ran out and he came to get me.

You got it wrong, really!

He's only a music teacher.

You take out...

...your song book and show her.

Hurry!

See?!

Fine. Prove you're a couple.

Do it right here.

What do you mean?

Do it! Now!

Do it?

We couldn't possibly

do it here in public.

I'd rather die than do it with her.

What?! You'd rather die.

You think I want this!

Don't hit her! I'll do it!

I'll do it!

You can do it.

Just look at me.

You can do it.

You've really gone too far!

We're gonna die...

Hurry up or you're next!

You're animals!

You slaughter the innocent! Beasts!

Such beasts!

Fine! Take off your clothes!

You're worse than animals!

Come on!

Come on! I'll help you... hurry!

Hey, just keep going.

So you're all in this together?

Alright, game's over.

Too bad. No fun.

Pay up!

Did it go well?

Go well?!

You've ruined it!

Look at how you sprayed the blood!
