l can't even recall her face

All l know is that she saved my life

That day l fell into a lake in the mountains

She rescued me

if she saved your life, you owe her a lot

But when l revived...

...she was gone

My friends said l'd imagined her

But l'm quite sure...

...she was real

Because she kissed me so deeply

That kiss saved my life

ln a way, it also took my life

What if...

You could kiss her again?

Would you remember her this time?

Hello, my friend!

Oh, it's you... haven't gone home yet?

Done with your errands?

All done

lt's dangerous here, you should go home

if it's so dangerous, you should leave too

l can't, l'm hunting demons

Know the saying?

''There's someone smarter than you know''

lt applies to demons too

You're no match for this one

l advise you to give up

l can't, l'm sworn to obey my Master

We have to trap the bat demon tonight

Well, if you want to kill yourself...

This is a very, very powerful demon

Not really...

Just a bat demon which bit a girl

Ugh, she's all bloody!

How do you know?

l'm an expert too

l can't let it get away

Sorry we can't talk more, until next time!

No!

Watch out

Oh well, there goes another friend

Neng Ren of Jinshan Temple!

Demon hunter and enforcer of Buddha's law

No bluffing!

Master! Save me!

Master! Save me!

Master!

Master!

Look!

Master Fahal and Neng Ren are back

What's wrong with Brother Neng Ren?

The bat demon poisoned him

Can he be cured?

If he's lucky...

What are you staring at?

You

No need to keep staring so long

l can't stop wondering...

...if this is really happening

What do you think?

That you're dreaming?

Someone once told me...

if l want to see someone,

l should keep her in my heart

Then l'll really see her again

Now l know it isn't superstition, it's true

You're saying you did want to see me again?

Xu Xian, let's go on like this

Always together, alright?

Eating together, sleeping together...

Doing everything together

Won't you get tired of me?

Won't you?

But l want to take you seriously

l want to meet your parents

And when l have their permission to court you...

Then we'll have a formal match and get married?

Brother! Brother!

Wake up!

The sun rose hours ago!

Brother, wake up!

What?

That's scary, Brother!

Brother! You... Your ears have grown pointy!

And you got fangs! So scary!

Brother, are you turning into a demon?

Master! Master! Something very bad has happened!

Brother Neng Ren has run away

Come and see! Quickly!

This place isn't bad, we could live here

Change!

Hey, friend...

You want to hang yourself?

Hurry away, friend

Death by hanging is an ugly sight

You'll get nightmares

l know!

After death, your body turns purple

Your tongue hangs loose and your eyes fall out!

What?

if you don't believe me, give it a go!

You don't look like you really want to die

You don't understand

l'm a demon hunter...

But l'm turning into a demon!

Just think...

When l meet a demon l've hunted before...

...l'll seriously lose face

if you're a demon, just be a demon

When one demon meets another...

Mostly they just nod a greeting

And lots of them don't have limbs

Who'll care about your face?

l'll let you in on a secret

Actually, l'm a demon too

You... you...

What's wrong?

Aren't we two the same now?

All demons together! Don't look at me like that

Since we're so close now...

...l'll teach you how to be a demon

Come on!

l'm gelded!

Come on!

A gelding!

Come on!

l just had chive for breakfast.

l am going to throw up!

Bats hang upside down, get used to it!

My head will burst! lt's full of blood!

That will make you smarter

l have a question for you...

Am l pretty?

Listen...

Right now, all l can see is stars

l'm seeing you upside down

Pretty doesn't come into it

l see

And now, am l pretty?

Seeing you now... very pretty

So, do you get a special feeling

when you look at me?

Would you like to bite my neck?

Taste my blood?

Amitabha...

l'm a sinner, l'm a sinner

Drink some water

What is this?

What do you think?

You bit my neck...

...ate meat and drank blood!

You violated the Three Taboos!

No more calling yourself a monk!

From now on, be the demon you are!

Liar!

We're there. Have we brought enough gifts?

Stop worrying! Come on in

l didn't expect your family to live in a mansion!

lt's just a broken down old house

You're here at last! You kept us waiting!

They're all here... this is my family

Go on in

- Go ahead

- Thanks

We need to hurry

They can't keep these forms for long

l know

l want to play too!

You can't take human form! Scram!

Hello, everyone

l'll make the introductions

This is my father

Hello

Sir, my name is Xu Xian

He's...

He's absolutely amazing!

You're...

You're just perfect for each other!

The perfect couple!

Really...

Really nice to see!

How wonderful that you are here to propose!

Don't worry, he's fine

Auspicious day for an engagement, isn't it?

This is... my mother

She's so young!

Really?

Actually, my stepmother

l'll introduce you

Googie... Googie...

How come you have a girl's name?

You misheard, it's Gugu

He was a chubby kid, that was his nickname

And it stuck

Hello, Gugu

Let's sit down

lt's this year's latest fashion!

This is called Doodle-do Wine

lt'll make you hiccup! Doodle-do!

My parents like you to look at them when you speak

Uh...

Aren't you here today to propose?

Hurry, then, we can hardly wait

l am Xu Xian, poor and humble

l never dreamt l'd win anyone like your Susu

l've come here today...

...because l seek your exalted permission...

...to marry Susu

Sir...

Although l have nothing to my name...

...l love Susu very much

No need for a dowry, just take her home! Go on!

l also want to say to Susu...

Good heavens!

Fine, just get on with it!

l want to hear what Xu Xian has to say

Sister...

Speak

l don't know what stroke of good fortune...

...allows me to make you mine

All it took was one kiss

The wheels of fate turned...

...and brought me to a perfect moment...

...of tenderness and happiness

From now on every moment, every second l have...

...l will spend...

...beside you

To make you happy

Why did you do that?

They're reverting to their true forms

lt's bad! lt's bad!

Fahai is here to exorcise us! Run!

Run!

Get Xu Xian away from here while l distract him

Take care!

A tawdry illusion to dupe humans!

Send them all back to the demon realm!

Yes, Master!

Master!

Master, let her go!

You know what you're asking?

Come back with me

Master...

l can't go back any more

Master, take care!

We escaped?

l'm not dead?

Be calm, l'll always protect you

What are we doing here?

Weren't we getting engaged?

We did it

My parents gave us their blessing

Really?

That was easy

So now we're married

l'm your wife

We can be together for the rest of our lives

One day...

...l'll have my own pharmacy

Then l'll have more money

l don't want you to suffer with me

How could that be?

As long as we're together...

...l'll never know suffering
