Wei WuXian: (cough) "HanGuang-Jun..."
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wen Ning: "Young... Young Master Wei..."
Wei WuXian: "Uh... HanGuang-Jun, listen to me..."
Lan WangJi: (pushes Wen Ning away) "Go away."
Wei WuXian: Huh? Lan Zhan didn't use any magical power. He is...
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm?"
Wei WuXian: "You..."
Wei WuXian: ! His boots are even on the wrong feet.
Wei WuXian: (holds up two fingers) "Look at my hand, how many fingers am I holding up?"
Lan WangJi: "Ah." (Reaches out and wraps both hands around the fingers, dropping Bichen)
Wei WuXian: "Ow ow, I didn't ask you to grab my hand!"
(Wei WuXian manages to take his fingers out of Lan WangJi's grasp)
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun... you... are drunk, aren't you?"

Mo Dao Zu Shi [Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation] - Season 1 Episode 10
Lan WangJi: "I am not."
Wei WuXian: "Still saying you're not drunk?You even dropped your sword."
(Wei WuXian picks up Bichen)
Wei WuXian: "Everyone else first gets drunk and then falls asleep. But you sleep first and then wake up drunk."
Wei WuXian: "Heh, alright, go back with me."
Wei WuXian: If I let him run wild in public like this, heaven knows what he'll get up to.
Wen Ning: "Young... Young Master Wei..."
Lan WangJi: (hits Wen Ning again) "Go away." Wei WuXian: "Eh??"
Wei WuXian: "What are you hitting Wen Ning for?"
Lan WangJi: "Do not let him follow."
Wei WuXian: "Ah alright, alright, we'll listen to you."
(Wei WuXian plays his bamboo flute to command Wen Ning to leave)
(Lan WangJi grabs his flute to stop his playing) Wei WuXian: ???
Lan WangJi: "Do not play for him."
Wei WuXian: ? "You... Why are you so overbearing and pushy?"
Lan WangJi: "Do not play for him!"
Wei WuXian: (exhales) "Alright, I'll only play for you, okay~?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "Wen Ning, you go ahead and leave first. Hide yourself well, don't let anyone notice you."
Wen Ning: "Wen Ning... will listen... to Young Master Wei."
Wei WuXian: "Leave."
(Wen Ning walks away dejectedly, his chains dragging behind him)
Wei WuXian: "Lan Zhan, are you really drunk? Why doesn't your face flush at all?"
(Lan WangJi grabs Wei WuXian and pulls him into his arms)
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, what are you doing? Why the sudden embrace—"
Lan WangJi: "Listen to the heartbeats."
Wei WuXian: "What?"
Lan WangJi: "The face does not show anything, listen to the heartbeats."
(Faint thumping heartbeat, a bit fast)
Wei WuXian: "I won't be able to tell from your face, only from listening to your heartbeats?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: Heh, Drunk Lan WangJi is unexpectedly very honest.
Wei WuXian: And his actions and words are much bolder and more unrestrained than usual, haha.
Wei WuXian: (coaxing) "Alright, why don't we hurry back to the inn, okay?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: (places Lan WangJi on the bed) "Here, you sit on the bed first. Sit tight alright?"
Wei WuXian: "Come here~ Take off those boots."
Wei WuXian: "Ah wait wait wait, wash your face before you sleep.
Wei WuXian: "Here, I'll help you take off your forehead ribbon."
(Wei WuXian reaches for the ribbon, but Lan WangJi grabs his hand) Wei WuXian: ? Lan WangJi: "You can't take it off."
Wei WuXian: "If I don't take it off, how are you going to wash your face? Come, be nice and obedient."
(Wei WuXian wets a towel in warm water)
(Wei WuXian rubs Lan WangJi's face with the damp towel, like in the cover image)
Wei WuXian: "Heh, what are you looking at me for? Am I good-looking?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: (laughs) "You really are drunk. Here, all done washing. Do you want to drink some water?"
Lan WangJi: "Oh." (Holds up the wash basin and dunks his head into the water)
Wei WuXian: (hurriedly grabs the basin away from him) "Ahh this water is for washing your face, not for drinking!"
Lan WangJi: (raises his still dripping head) "Ah?"
Wei WuXian: (sigh) This is washwater... Did he drink it or not?
Wei WuXian: Lan Zhan better not remember anything after he wakes up, otherwise... (laughs) he won't be able to face anyone ever again for the rest of his life.
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, right now, are you going to do whatever I tell you to do?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "You'll answer whatever I ask you?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "Okay then, let me ask you. Have you... ever secretly drank the Emperor's Smile you hid in your room?"
Lan WangJi: "No."
Wei WuXian: "Do you like rabbits?"
Lan WangJi: "Yes."
Wei WuXian: "Have you ever violated any rules?"
Lan WangJi: "Yes."
Wei WuXian: "Have you ever... liked anyone?"
Lan WangJi: "...Yes."
Wei WuXian: Wow... even that he answered honestly.
Wei WuXian: Ah, stop, stop. I shouldn't delve too deeply into these kinds of questions. I should ask about something else.
Wei WuXian: "What do you think of Jiang Cheng?"
Lan WangJi: "Hmph." (frowns)
Wei WuXian: "What do you think of Wen Ning?"
Lan WangJi: "Huh." (indifference)
Wei WuXian: "Uh, heh. Then... look at me." (Points to himself) "What do you think of this?"
Lan WangJi: "Mine."
Wei WuXian: ???
Lan WangJi: (with emphasis) "Mine."
Wei WuXian: "Ah???"
Wei WuXian: Oh... I'm still carrying his sword on my back. When I pointed to myself, he most likely thought I was pointing to the Bichen sword.
Wei WuXian: (unties Bichen from his back) "Do you want this~?"
Lan WangJi: "I want it."
(Lan WangJi pulls him over) Wei WuXian: "Hey, what are you pulling me for?"
Lan WangJi: (stares at Wei WuXian) "...I want it."
Wei WuXian: Lan Zhan as a person really is... I'm a manly man and even I went weak at the knees hearing that.
Wei WuXian: If he was this sincere and enthusiastic towards a girl, how scary would that be?
Wei WuXian: "Hey, how did you recognize me? Why are you helping me?"
Lan WangJi: "Dafan Mountain."
(The clock strikes. Lan WangJi's expression changes and he shoves Wei WuXian onto the bed)
Wei WuXian: ?? "Lan Zhan—?!" Lan WangJi: "It is nine o'clock. Rest."
Wei WuXian: "I say, can't we rest and chat at the same time?"
Lan WangJi: "No." (uses the body paralysis spell to fix Wei WuXian in place)
Wei WuXian: "You're drunk and you still remembered to use the Body-Locking Spell?"
Wei WuXian: "Hey, Lan Zhan, remove it. I reserved two rooms, we don't have to cram into one bed."
Lan WangJi: "...Okay."
(Lan WangJi starts removing the clasps on Wei WuXian's clothes) Wei WuXian: !! Hey!!
Wei WuXian: "I was saying for you to remove the Body-Locking Spell, not remove my clothes!!"
Lan WangJi: "Ah."
Wei WuXian: "T-hat's enough that's enough! Stop untying my clothes!"
Wei WuXian: "O-okay, I'm laying down, I'm going to sleep."
(Lan WangJi exhales)
Wei WuXian: (sigh) "I finally understand why your clan prohibits alcohol. Your alcohol tolerance is bad and your drunken behavior is even worse."
Wei WuXian: "If everyone in the Lan sect is like you when drunk, you deserve to be prohibited from drinking."
Wei WuXian: "Anyone who drinks should be beaten up—" (Lan WangJi covers his mouth)
Lan WangJi: "Shhh."
Wei WuXian: It seems like ever since I came back, every time I tease Lan WangJi like I did in the past, I only end up hoisted by my own petard, reaping what I'd sown.
Wei WuXian: This... this shouldn't be the case!
(Wei WuXian yawns and stretches dramatically)
Wei WuXian: "The Body-Locking Spell has finally been removed! I spent the entire night in that position... Ow, ohhh, my poor back."
Wei WuXian: (sniffs) "He smells of alcohol from head to toe. He didn't even change his clothes."
Wei WuXian: (prods him) "Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan?"
Wei WuXian: (sigh) "Alright, I'll finish the good deed I started and tend to you one more time."
(Lan WangJi wakes up and slowly opens his eyes)
Lan WangJi: !!!! (tumbles off the bed) Wei WuXian: "Hm?"
Lan WangJi: "Last night... I..."
Wei WuXian: (winks) "You were so bold and unrestrained last night, HanGuang-Jun."
Wei WuXian: "What happened last night... do you really not remember a thing?"
(Lan WangJi's face is as pale as can be)
Lan WangJi: "What... did I do?"
Wei WuXian: "Hahahahahaha! It's okay, I only took off our clothes, that's all. I was just joking with you!"
Wei WuXian: "Your chastity is still intact, you aren't tainted at all, no need to worry!"
(Wei WuXian leans towards him and searches in Lan WangJi's clothes)
Lan WangJi: "What are you doing?"
Wei WuXian: "Don't be afraid, HanGuang-Jun~ I won't do anything to you~"
Wei WuXian: "It's just that last night, you..."
Lan WangJi: !!
Wei WuXian: "...stole my flute. I needed to take it back~"
(Lan WangJi exhales)
(The Qiankun pouches holding the dismembered body parts become restless)
Wei WuXian: "Okay, no more playing around, our dear friend is acting up again. Serious business is more important."
(Wei WuXian's flute and Lan WangJi's guqin play together to duet "Rest", which eventually calms down the body parts)
(The Qiankun pouches settle down) Wei WuXian: (exhales) "Finally suppressed.
Wei WuXian: "Look, our dear friend's left hand switched directions."
Wei WuXian: "Now it's pointed towards the southwest. Looks like it's time for us to set out again."
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "Pfft—"
Lan WangJi: (takes a breath) "You..."
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, why are you still looking at me like that? Are you still worried?"
Wei WuXian: "Hey, believe me, I really didn't do anything to you last night."
Wei WuXian: "Of course, you didn't do anything to me either."
Lan WangJi: "Last night, other than stealing your flute, I..."
Wei WuXian: "You~? What else did you do, right? Nothing much, really. You just said... a lot of things~"
(Lan WangJi gulps and takes a deep breath)
Lan WangJi: "What sort of things?"
Wei WuXian: "It wasn't anything important, just... hmm..."
Wei WuXian: "For instance, that you really like..."
Lan WangJi: "... like what?"
Wei WuXian: "You really like...
Wei WuXian: "Rabbits."
(Lan WangJi lets out a breath)
Wei WuXian: "Heh, rabbits are so cute, who doesn't like them?"
Wei WuXian: "I like them too! As in, I like eating them hahahahahahahaha!"
Wei WuXian: "Come, HanGuang-Jun, you drank so much last night--er, well, not that much."
Wei WuXian: "You got so drunk last night, you probably don't feel so good this morning."
Wei WuXian: "Keep resting for a while more, I'll go buy breakfast, alright? We'll set out once you feel better."
Lan WangJi: "Wait."
Wei WuXian: "What?"
Wei WuXian: "Hm?"
(Lan WangJi takes a breath)
Lan WangJi: "Do you have money?"
Wei WuXian: "I do! How could I not know where you keep your money?"
Wei WuXian: "I'll bring breakfast for you too, yeah?"
Wei WuXian: "Rest some more, we're not in a hurry."
(bustling marketplace sounds)
Vendor: "Young master, do you want to add two cobs of corn to that?"
Wei WuXian: "No need, just soy milk and steam buns is fine."
Vendor: "Here you go young master, don't drop it."
Wei WuXian: "Thanks."
(Wei WuXian hands money over) Wei WuXian: "Here."
Wei WuXian: "Heh, last time I didn't notice it, but this wallet is quite delicate and elegant."
Wei WuXian: Lan Zhan still hasn't come out yet? Looks like he took a big blow to his dignity, haha.
(sounds of kids playing) Kids: "Whoever shoots down the kite with the sun print becomes the boss!" "I wanna be the boss! I wanna be the boss!" "Stop being so loud!" "Ow someone hit me!"
Wei WuXian: The sun? They're playing a game imitating the Sunshot Campaign, where the cultivation sects united to fight against the Wen sect.
Kids: "Oh no, it fell!" "It fell!" "What should we do?"
Kids: "Who should be the boss?" "Me me me!" "Why you?"
Little 'Jin GuangYao': "Hmph, it should be me of course! I'm the Chief Cultivator, LianFang-Zun Jin GuangYao!" [Chief Cultivator = basically the president of the cultivation world LianFang-Zun = Jin GuangYao's formal title]
Little 'Jin GuangYao': "I was the one who killed the Wen sect's big villain!"
Little 'Nie MingJue': "I'm ChiFeng-Zun Nie MingJue! I won the most battles and captured the most prisoners. I should be the boss!"
Little 'Jin GuangYao': "But I'm the Chief Cultivator!"
Little 'Nie MingJue': "So what if you're the Chief Cultivator? You're still my, Nie MingJue's, youngest brother. You'd still run away with your tail between your legs when seeing me." [Of the three sworn 'Honored' brothers, Nie MingJue is the oldest and Jin GuangYao the youngest]
Little 'Jin GuangYao': "Oh..." (dejectedly runs away to stay in-character)
Little 'Jin ZiXuan': "Tch, Nie MingJue, why are you the boss? You're a short-lived idiot!"
Little 'Nie MingJue': "Jin ZiXuan, you died even earlier than I did! You're even more short-lived!"
Little 'Jin ZiXuan': "So what if I'm short-lived? I'm ranked third among all the cultivators!"
Little 'Nie MingJue': "You're only ranked third for your face!" [Jin ZiXuan was ranked the third most handsome cultivator of their generation]
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Okay, okay, let's stop fighting. I'm the YiLing Patriarch, I'm the most powerful. So I guess I'll reluctantly be the boss~"
Little 'Jiang Cheng': "That's not right. I'm the SanDu ShengShou, I'm the most powerful!" [SanDu ShengShou = formal title for Jiang Cheng, translates to something like 'Saintly Wielder of SanDu' SanDu = Jiang Cheng's personal sword, translates to 'Three Poisons']
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Oh Jiang Cheng, are you better than me at anything?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "When have you ever not lost to me? And you even have the face to say you're the most powerful? Aren't you embarrassed?"
Little 'Jiang Cheng': "Hmph, I'm not better than you at anything? Did you forget how you died?" [Wow these kids are harsh]
(Wei WuXian takes a harsh breath)
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Hey hey, look at me! I have the Ghost Flute Chenqing on my left and the Stygian Tiger Seal on my right." (twirls the stick 'Chenqing')
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Plus a Ghost General--I'm invincible! Hahahaha!"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Eh? Where's Wen Ning? Come out!"
Little 'Wen Ning': "I'm over here." (walks over)
Little 'Wen Ning': "Um... this... I just wanted to say... During the Sunshot Campaign, I wasn't dead yet."
Wei WuXian: (sigh) "Esteemed cultivators, may I ask you a question?"
Kids: "Ah?" "What's this?" "What?" "Who are you?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "What do you wanna ask?"
Wei WuXian: "Why isn't there anyone from the Gusu Lan sect?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "There is."
Wei WuXian: "Huh? Where?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': (points) "That one over there."
Wei WuXian: "Uh... that silent fellow... who is he?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Lan WangJi!"
(Wei WuXian bursts out in laughter)
Wei WuXian: Alright, these kids really understood the essence.
Wei WuXian: A cloth strip on his forehead for the forehead ribbon, mouth shut and completely silent. Who else could it be but Lan WangJi?
Wei WuXian: Heh, it's so strange. How can such a stuffy person always make me so happy?
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Once I, the YiLing Patriarch, play my flute, many many walking corpses rise into battle and help me kill the enemy!"
Wei WuXian: "Hey hey, YiLing Patriarch."
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Huh?"
Wei WuXian: "Can you twirl your flute?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Of course I can!"
Wei WuXian: "Let me see you twirl it! One-handed!"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Hehe." (twirls flute)
Wei WuXian: "Can't you do it with more pizzazz? Do you know what pizzazz means?"
Little 'Wei WuXian': "Then you do it!"
Wei WuXian: "Here, give it to me. Let me teach you. Watch!"
(Wei WuXian masterfully twirls the flute) Kids: "Wowwwwww..."
Wei WuXian: "Now that is flute twirling. Kids: "Wowwwwww..."
Wei WuXian: "Your hand must be light, your wrist must use a little bit of force."
(Wei WuXian expertly twirls some more)
Wei WuXian: "Hehe, what do you guys think?" Kids: "Whoaaaa" "That's amazing" "Can you teach me?" "Yeah yeah!" "Is it like this?" "No, it's like this!"
Kids: "Whoaaaa" "That's amazing" "Can you teach me?" "Yeah yeah!" "Is it like this?" "No, it's like this!"
Lan WangJi: "What are you doing?"
Wei WuXian: "Oh HanGuang-Jun, you finally came out!"
Wei WuXian: "Hey kid, here's your flute back." (throws the stick 'Chenqing' back over)
Wei WuXian: "This big bro is leaving~" Kids: "Bye!!"
Wei WuXian: (chuckles) "HanGuang-Jun, are you okay?"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: (starts laughing again) "HanGuang-Jun, those two kids just now, weren't they cute?"
Wei WuXian: "That one with the cloth strip wrapped around his head... guess who he was pretending to be!"
(Wei WuXian can't hold back his laughter again)
Lan WangJi: "...Last night... what else did I actually do?"
Wei WuXian: "No no no, you didn't do anything. I was just bored ahahahahaha, just bored." (coughs from laughing too much)
Wei WuXian: "Hey, HanGuang-Jun, I have some serious business to speak with you about."
Lan WangJi: "Speak."
Wei WuXian: "The Chang sect graveyard's coffin slamming sounds had been silent for ten years."
Wei WuXian: "Suddenly causing trouble again, this definitely isn't a coincidence. There must be a cause."
Lan Wangji: "What do you think the cause is?"
Wei WuXian: "I think the cause is… that torso being dug out."
Wei WuXian: " I was thinking, the dismemberment of the corpse probably… wasn't simply to seek revenge and vent anger, but a malicious way of suppression."
Wei WuXian: "The one who cut up the corpse deliberately chose to place the body parts in those places haunted by evil beings."
Lan WangJi: "Fight fire with fire. Mutually balancing out, keeping each other in check."
Wei WuXian: "Exactly. So yesterday, once that gravedigger dug up the torso, there wasn't anything to suppress the resentful spirits in the Chang clan graveyard. The coffin-slamming noises therefore started again."
Wei WuXian: "It's the same principle as how the Qinghe Nie sect's Saber Hall used the corpses in the walls to suppress the saber spirits."
Wei WuXian: "Maybe it's based on that in the first place. Looks like this person has non-shallow ties to both Qinghe Nie sect and Gusu Lan sect."
Lan WangJi: "There are... not many people who meet this criteria."
Wei WuXian: "Mm. The truth is slowly being unveiled."
Wei WuXian: "Moreover, since the opponent started to move the corpse parts, it means that he or they are already getting worried."
Wei WuXian: "They will definitely soon act again. Even if we don't go seek them out, they will come looking for us."
Lan Wangji: "Sooner or later, they will expose themselves."
Wei WuXian: "Yes, and we also have our dear friend directing us. Though we will have to hurry up our actions too."
Wei WuXian: "Only the right hand and head are left. We need to get ahead of them next."
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "Thank you very much for your information, miss."
Young woman: "You're welcome. Um... thank you for your gift."
Wei WuXian: "It's just a small token of appreciation. Goodbye for now."
Young woman: "Take care."
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, got anxious from waiting?"
Lan WangJi: (exhales) "No."
Wei WuXian: "You should've gone with me. They were even raising rabbits in that yard!"
Lan WangJi: (exhales) "What did you find out?"
Wei WuXian: "No wonder the ghost hand stopped. This road leads to Yi City."
Lan WangJi: " 'Yi' as in chivalry?"
Wei WuXian: " 'Yi' as in coffin home."
Wei WuXian: "The girls said that since ancient times, most of the people living in that city have died early, either having short lives or meeting violent ends."
Wei WuXian: "There are a lot of official coffin homes within the city to hold the corpses."
Wei WuXian: "Plus the locals specialize in producing coffins, paper ghost money, and other burial goods. That is why the city is called this name."
Wei WuXian: "Here, this way. Let's walk and talk at the same time."
Wei WuXian: "They said that people here rarely go to Yi City."
Wei WuXian: "And, except for to export goods, the people inside rarely leave."
Wei WuXian: "In the past few years, there's been practically no trace of anyone. This road has been neglected for many years now."
Lan WangJi: "And?"
Wei WuXian: "And what?"
Lan WangJi: "What did you give them just now?"
Wei WuXian: "Huh? ...Oh, that's what you're talking about. I gave them rouge."
Wei WuXian: "When asking people for information, it's always good to give something to express your thanks."
Wei WuXian: "I originally was going to give them money, but that only scared them and they didn't dare to take it."
Wei WuXian: "Luckily I bought this last time, so I gifted it to them."
Lan WangJi: (exhale) "...Yes."
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, why are you looking at me like that?"
Wei WuXian: "I know that rouge's quality wasn't that good."
Wei WuXian: "But the current me can't compare to how I used to be, always carrying flowers and trinkets to gift to girls."
Wei WuXian: "I really didn't have anything else to give them. It's better than nothing."
Lan WangJi: "...Let's hurry and go."
Wei Wuxian: (breathes out) "So this is Yi City. The feng shui is terrible."
Lan WangJi: "Mm. Barren mountains and turbulent rivers."
Wei WuXian: "This place's feng shui naturally has lingering rotten luck. If people settle here for generations, that rotten luck will definitely seep into their bones."
Wei WuXian: "There must also be a lot of weird occurrences like souls returning and living corpses. No wonder the people here die early."
Wei WuXian: "Why is the fog so thick?"
Lan WangJi: "Be careful."
(Wei WuXian steps on something) Wei WuXian: ! "What is this?"
Wei WuXian: "A person's head?"
Lan WangJi: "A person's head made of paper."
(Wei WuXian picks up the paper)
Wei WuXian: "It's a Nether Brawler's head."
Wei WuXian: "This type of paper hired thug burned as offerings to the dead... why is it here? ...Though the craftsmanship is not bad."
(a shadow sweeps by them, with tapping sounds)
Lan WangJi: "Someone's here. Be on your guard."
Wei WuXian: "Did you hear that just now?"
Lan WangJi: "The sound of footsteps. The sound of a bamboo pole."
Wei WuXian: "This fog is too thick. If someone took advantage of this thick fog and snuck between us, a third person to our group of two, I'm afraid we wouldn't even notice."
Lan WangJi: "Give me your hand." Wei WuXian: "Ah?"
Wei WuXian: "What is it?"
(sound of swords and voices as the shadows attack)
(Lan WangJi draws Bichen to defend Wei WuXian) (sound of swords and voices as the shadows attack)
Lan SiZhui: "It's the Bichen sword!"
Jin Ling: "HanGuang-Jun's here too?"
Wei WuXian: "Jin Ling? SiZhui?"
Jin Ling: "Why's it you again?!"
Wei WuXian: "I wanted to ask why it's you again as well!"
Lan SiZhui: "Young master Mo, you're here too?"
Lan JingYi: "HanGuang-Jun must have come too!"
Wei WuXian: "Yeah he's here, right beside me. You guys hurry up and come over."
(the crowd of disciples rushes over) Disciples: "HanGuang-Jun!" "Young master Mo!"
Lan WangJi: "Mm."
Wei WuXian: "Why are all of you here in Yi City? And greeted us with such a vicious attack!"
Wei WuXian: "Luckily I had HanGuang-Jun beside me. What if you guys hurt ordinary people?"
Jin Ling: "What ordinary people? There aren't any people in this city at all!"
Lan SiZhui: "Yeah, it's daylight out but there's not a single store open. And there's this phantom fog pervading everywhere, it really is strange."
Wei Wuxian: "That doesn't matter right now. How did you guys all end up together? Don't tell me you guys arranged to night-hunt together."
Lan SiZhui: "It's a long story..."
(the shadow sweeps by again making tapping sounds)
Disciples: "It's here again!" Wei WuXian: "Huddle close. Don't flail about and don't draw your sword."
Lan JingYi: "It's that again... Just how long is it going to follow us for?"
Wei WuXian: "It's been following you the whole time?"
Lan SiZhui: "After we entered the city, we didn't dare to separate because of the dense fog. Then suddenly we heard this kind of noise."
Lan SiZhui: "At the time, it wasn't this fast. It was one knock at a time. And we vaguely saw a small short shadow."
Lan SiZhui: "But when we chased it, it disappeared. This noise has been following us ever since."
Wei WuXian: "How short?"
Lan SiZhui: "Just up to my chest, very petite."
Wei WuXian: "How long have you guys been in here?"
Lan SiZhui: "Almost fifteen minutes."
Wei WuXian: "Fifteen minutes… HanGuang-Jun, how long have we been in here?"
Lan WangJi: "Around thirty minutes."
Wei WuXian: "See? We've been in here longer than you guys. How is it possible you guys ended up in front of us, and only ran into us after you turned around?"
Jin Ling: "We didn't turn around. We've been walking forward following this path this entire time."
Wei WuXian: Could it be that this path was tampered with?
Wei WuXian: "Have you tried flying up with your sword to have a look?"
Lan SiZhui: "Yes. I felt like I flew a long distance upwards, but I actually was not that high up."
Lan SiZhui: "Moreover, there were some fuzzy shadows darting about in the air. I don't know what they were. I was worried I wouldn't be able to deal with them so I came down."
Wei WuXian: "It looks like this fog most likely did not form naturally."
Lan JingYi: "Ah? Then… this fog isn't poisonous, is it?!"
Wei WuXian: "It probably isn't poisonous. We've been here for quite a while now and we're still alive."
(growling and moaning sounds)
Wei WuXian: "It's walking corpses."
(Wei WuXian blows his bamboo flute to try and control the walking corpses, but it has no effect)
Disciples: "It's walking corpses!" "Walking corpses!"
Wei WuXian: "Ah, HanGuang-Jun!"
(Lan WangJi unsheathes Bichen and cuts all the walking corpses apart)
Wei WuXian: "I already played my flute just now. The walking corpses should've backed away once they heard it."
Wei WuXian: "Unless… these walking corpses were being controlled by the Stygian Tiger Seal!"
Lan JingYi: "It seems like more walking corpses are coming!"
Jin Ling: "Where? I didn't hear any footsteps."
Lan JingYi: "I think.. I heard some strange breathing sounds…"
Jin Ling: "Lan JingYi, you really are something."
Jin Ling: "Breathing sounds? Walking corpses are dead, how can there be breathing sounds?"
(a large walking corpse crashes over, and Bichen cuts it in half)
(something strange spurts out of the corpse and splashes on the nearby disciples, making them cough)
Disciples: (coughing) "What is this?" "What?"
Wei WuXian: "What happened?"
Lan Jingyi: "Some kind of powder sprayed out of the walking corpse's body. It tastes bitter and sweet and rotten!"
Wei WuXian: "Everyone, step away from that area! JingYi, come over here, let me look at you."
Lan Jingyi: "But I can't see you. Where are you?"
Wei WuXian: "HanGuang-Jun, Bichen's sword glare can penetrate this white fog. Draw your sword for a moment so he can walk over here."
???: "Hmph."
(Lan WangJi draws Bichen, but the sword glare is a ways away from Wei WuXian) Wei WuXian: The sword glare is over there!
Wei WuXian: The person next to me… isn't Lan Zhan!
(another sword is drawn)
