Painted Skin 2 No Regrets for Real Love (Hua Pi Zhi Zhen Ai Wu Hui / Hua Pi II / 画皮之真爱无悔)

~ Episode 1 ~

Please come in, everyone!!

Come inside and take a look.

Who is the owner??

Come over here!

What's wrong, sir??

What do you mean what's wrong?!

I have spent so much money here.

I came specifically to see Ms. Ting Cheng's performance.

Instead, all I get are these ducklings!

Get lost! Get away from me!

Please don't get angry.

The miss from the Capital will be here in a moment.

What? Say what? She'll come shortly??

That little dancer doesn't look weak.

If my patience runs out and she still hasn't come,

my hands will become restless and I will turn this Ming Yue brother of yours upside down! Do you believe me?!

That's right!!!

If we don't see her soon, we'll take matters into our hands!

Mr. Xie, you don't have to do all that.

Take a look! Isn't she here already??

Miss, where are you?

I'm right here.

Come and catch me!

Stop hiding, Beautiful!

Come over here.

Stop running.

Come, come here quickly.

Then, tell me how pretty I am.

So beautiful that my heart is intoxicated with your beauty.

If...If I can spend a night with you,

I will die with no regret, Beauty.

Then, that means this heart of yours is mine?

Of course!

Tonight, my body and heart are all yours.

Ok...Let's not waste time.

Ok.

You...

Stop!!!

I was wondering who it was and it turned out to be the two law enforcers of the Fox Clan.

Xiao Wei greets you here.

Hu Xiao Wei, you went against the law

and killed innocent people. Come with us and be punished!

You want to catch me?

Okay, but that depends on whether your skills have improved or not.

She ran away again.

Her fox spirit has been damaged. If she doesn't eat a human heart by the coming of the full moon,

her true form will be exposed and her power will be significantly reduced.

She can't get too far.

Qing Cheng.

Qing Cheng, I've made some bird's nest soup for you.

I also made some for Mr. Xie.

Murder! Murder!!

Since Her Majesty passed away, the princess has mourned for exactly 3 years and hasn't touched any cosmetics.

She didn't even wear new or colorful clothes and thus missed the best years of her youth..

Am I not pretty right now?

Of course you are.

How did that saying by Little Duke Xiao go again?

One need not worry about such finery, right?

Flattery! You learned bad stuff from my cousin.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have been known to live short lives. I want to live a long life!

I want to become the world's best wandering heroine!

Come, change my clothes.

Who gave this?

Princess, these are clothes and accessories the Kind and Lang Fai

commissioned people to make.

Lang Fai?

There is no need for him to be nice to me.

I am not wearing it. Throw it all away for me.

The Princess' outfit...is she going hunting?

Yes, our Princess has always loved being active.

Now that the period of mourning is over, she will probably be hunting everyday.

People think that we are here to take care of Princess,

but what they don't know is that this seems more like a military camp.

Cousin, did you just jump out of a cologne bottle or something??

The smell is overpowering!

My cologne is made especially through ancient methods.

There is only one bottle in this whole city..

Smell it! Don't you feel that I now have a different aura about me,

like that of someone famed throughout the regions?

Are you here to hunt or look at the flowers?

You dress more femininely than women.

Jing Er You have been cooped up in the house for three long years,

so you don't know what's deserving of admiration.

My hunting outfit is the newest that can be had.

I searched the city for the best materials and had it all sewn by hand.

Oh, it is a good thing that Ah Mo had stuff to do and didn't come.

Otherwise, simply seeing your outfit

will make her give you a cold shoulder and shoo you away!

Ha! It's a good thing your ugly servant didn't come or I would have refused to go hunting with you.

With the beautiful weather and dancing birds,

I don't know how many beauties of this city are waiting for me

and just dying to flirt with me.

Who doesn't know that my cousin is a player, infamous throughout the Capital?

It's such a pity that you have to accompany me in this barren wilderness.

As if!.

Seeing as we have been friends since childhood, I'll endure this difficulty for now.

I have arranged many prey for you today

to entertain the princess and have fun.

That's good then!!

How can I reject your great kindness and hospitality?

Today, we'll need to catch a lot, before we go back.

Let's go!!

Treacherous demon! Where do you think you're going?

Jing Er!!

Jing Er, are you alright?

I don't know who shot at me, earlier. I almost got hit.

Who are you? Why are you trying to harm other people?

Why are you making such strange accusations?

I clearly saved this brother here.

Yet, you suspect me of wanting to harm him?

Then tell us, did you shoot the arrow?

Of course not!

If I wanted to hurt you, then why would I have saved you?

Enough with the excuses. Everyone here is under the Duke's command.

Only blind people will try to harm my master.

That's right. Even if this person wasn't the shooter,

he must be an accomplice!!

Hey, soldier, I don't even know you.

Why would I want to harm him?

I was just passing by. I happened to be in the right place and time to save someone.

Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I didn't do anything wrong.

Excuse me.

You can't leave before you clarify everything!

Attack!!

Stop!!

The attack happened so suddenly, and that's why we had such wrong suspicions.

Sorry about that.

You finally believe that I didn't do it!!

You're highly skilled, so, if you want to harm me, you could have done it earlier.

We misunderstood you.

No worries.

As long as you believe it isn't me,

that's enough.

That white shadow was what caused me to fall off my horse!!

The shooter must have something to do with that thing. Chase after it!!

Yes.

See what you can run into?

All of us are the same kind. Why are we fighting each other??

You fell in love with Hong Cheng and misused your powers.

Taking people's hearts is against the practice of asceticism.

All the people I killed were greedy, perverse men!

Keeping them alive would only create trouble in this world.

Then, aren't my actions acts of kindness?

Ridiculous!

The Fox Clan's elders will deal with you when we bring you back.

Xiao Wei, your spiritual power has been damaged. It will be hard for you to maintain your human form.

I suggest that you behave and submit to the spell and not get hurt too much.

You think you can subdue me into obedience?

No way!

Jing Er, this person's origin is still a mystery. We should be careful.

From his appearance, he doesn't seem like a bad guy. That arrow probably wasn't shot by him.

You can never know a person's heart. The world is a dangerous place.

Aren't you the same as me? You've never stepped outside the Capital.

What do you know about the outside world?

Aren't I doing it all for your good? You are a royal-

I'm a sir right now! A sir!

Sir,

are you really sure that ball of white shadow was heading here?

I'm 100% sure. I'm sure that white shadow was coming from this direction.

That's odd. We've walked around in circles and now we're back in the same place.

How do you know?

Look at this tree. It has two broken branches. Previously, when I passed it,

I made special note of it. Now, we've gone full circle and are back where we started.

Oh no! Does that mean we are lost?

It probably isn't that simple.

What do you mean? Are there any other explanations?

I'm afraid it's the rumored "demon wall".

-"Demon wall"? -"Demon wall"?

How stubborn! Must you endure all this suffering before you surrender yourself?

If you want me to return with you, you must take back my corpse!

So you would rather destroy your own spirit than return to the Fox Clan?

The King of Hell will come and take my life. I will never let myself go back to the Fox Clan and be humiliated!

You are a fox, not a human. You are obsessed over this world.

Is it because of that man who already died hundreds of years ago?

What did you say?

Take a look, yourself.

Brother Sheng,

Two hundred years ago, you were so infatuated with him that you gave up your thousand year spiritual training

just to save his life.

But, he was still a mere mortal. Once his time was up, he died.

The person you still cling onto is already a pile of bones.

Why do you still need to be so persistent?

This can't be happening

This can't be. Brother Sheng couldn't have died.

He couldn't have died. Brother Sheng!

Brother Wang!

Brother Wang, you can't go. It's me, Xiao Wei.

Brother Sheng!

After walking back and forth, why are we still in this stupid place?

Hey, Cousin!

Don't you always say you are really talented?

Be quick and think of a plan for us to get out of here!

This demon-hit-wall is really scary! I can't use any of my powers here!

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What's on your neck?

It's as if you've been scratched by some animal.

It doesn't look like a dog bite or a cat scratch.

What exactly is that?
