The Legend of Fragrance

Episode 25

- Miss Le Yan - Who is it?

- Doctor An - Oh it's you. What brings you here?

I heard you were taking care of an insane woman here, bro. So I came to visit.

Yeah, she's experienced trauma so she's not in her right state of mind right now. She doesn't recognize anyone anymore.

We cannot ask her for any important information as of now.

Then can I go in to see her?

Uh, welcome inside.

Xia Chan...

Xia Chan. Xia Chan, don't be scared. Don't be scared, okay?

He's Le Yan's friend. It's alright, it's alright.

What's wrong with this young woman?

She's the Xia Chan who's been missing for half an year.

Xia Chan?

Isn't she the 13th girl to be kidnapped by the devil? She escaped back?

Then she's an important witness in breaking this case.

It's such a pity that she was tortured to this state.

Where's brother-in-law and Le Yan?

They went to make that hypnotic perfume.

Hypnotic perfume?

They want to hypnotize Xia Chan so she'll tell who kidnapped her and we can find out who the devil really is.

Why are you looking at me?

You're beautiful making fragrances.

You're really impressive. You can tell the makeup of a perfume just by smelling it.

Le Yan, you really are a perfume making genius.

You are too. The equipments and ingredients that I need,

you guessed all of them correctly even though I didn't tell you.

This means your skill level in perfume making has vastly improved as well.

The truth is, people don't just have one set of eyes. Other than their physical eyes, they also have a pair of eyes in their heart.

When I didn't have a sense of smell, I could only depend of my gut feeling. But now that I do, I'm working hard to

connect my outer sense of smell with my heart's feeling for fragrances.

You explained it so well.

If a person only uses their eyes to see or their nose to smell,

they can only understand the physical appearance of fragrances.

But if he uses his heart to feel, then he'll really understand the inner workings of that fragrance.

So that's why I said we're meant to be. People of a kind thing alike.

Young Master Ning, you really take advantage of such situations to compliment yourself.

But I have to tell you this,

you should humbly follow me, the teacher, and learn the arts of fragrance making.

Only so,

would your Ning family's hundreds of years of business continue. So you won't let your dad down.

Don't worry.

When my dad reaches his big 50th birthday, I will give him a big surprise.

Okay, let's see how you perform.

That insane woman in Le Yan's house.

Could she have escaped from the devil?

That brat seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

In this isolated and dark place, where could she have gone?

- What should we do? Should we tell the boss?- This is a big problem, we can't hide it even if we tried.

If she's found or arrested by the police, the problem would quickly escalate.

Then let's quickly go tell the boss, hurry.

Yes.

Out of all of Le Yan's friends, I think Xia Chan and Chuan Miao were the only ones kidnapped.

Since this girl is Le Yan's friend,

if she is not Chuan Miao then she's Xia Chan.

Why didn't An Yi Chen tell you such an important matter?

He... maybe he hasn't had the chance to yet.

Don't cover for him anymore. This Chinese man must have changed his mind concerning us.

Last night when he was hypnotized by you, he didn't kill Ning Zhi Yuan.

I just knew he couldn't be trusted.

Father, Mr. Yi Chen is our friend.

Please don't suspect your own friend.

How is it? Does it seem like it?

It seems a little like it. But it doesn't seem right at the same time.

I've already tried dozens of different recipes but I still can't find the correct one.

It seems the Japanese art of fragrance has it's speciality and uniqueness.

Stinky girl, this might take some time.

It's really late already, why don't you get some rest? You could even get some inspiration in your dreams.

Okay, I'll rest now. Let's try again later.

What are you doing?

You sleep inside and I'll sleep outside (on the same bed).

I just knew you were up to something when you suggest I rest for a while.

Your bed is really big. It fits two people perfectly.

That is your bed.

Go on.

- Really? - Go on.

Oh, my bad.

Really pretty.

Sleeping alone,

isn't she scared?

What are you doing?

I'm making a perfume.

Making a perfume?

That wooden couch isn't comfortable at all so I didn't sleep at all.

Look, I numbered all these ingredients.

Every time roll a dice, I would add the ingredient with that number into this bottle.

I've been rolling dices all nice. I've tried dozens of different recipes already.

Smell them and see if any of them are similar to Hui Zi's perfume.

Smell it.

It states on the fragrance book

that perfumes have many different varieties and properties.

There are light scented, spice scented, warm scented and cool scented perfumes.

How can you just put them all together?

What's wrong with that? We're just experimenting.

Experimenting should be about breaking perfume rules.

You don't understand how wonderful and magical perfume making is.

A little bit of carelessness could cause a world of difference. You've just wasted all these good ingredients.

So what? Our family has as much ingredients as we will ever need.

Four drops of number ten.

One, two, three, four, nine.

What? Did I somehow stumble across the correct recipe?

The smell of this perfume is very different from Hui Zi's perfume.

But the mixture seems to offer the same affect.

Do you remember what ingredients and how of it you used when making this perfume?

Yeah. Every time I had a new one, I made sure to jot it down.

Twenty-seven.. Look, twenty-seven.

Wen Mansion Shi Xuan! You're not good to me at all! You're treating me badly just like everyone else, aren't you?!

Miss, ever since you came here, you've managed to handle it all very well.

You can't handle it anymore?

I can't handle it anymore.

Lady.

What are you doing this early in the morning?

Mom, I'm glad you came. Shi Xuan didn't come home at all last night.

Shi Xuan has to manage dozens of fragrance houses every day. Not only are you not able to understand that,

you have to throw your lady tantrum?

But we've only been marry for a few months.

He has already decided not to come back at night.

Pei Shan, don't forget.

Who was it that came screaming and yelling about how she wanted to join our Wen family?

And for our family, whose business is fragrance making,

a woman without a sense of smell,

is garbage.

Do you have the right to complain?

How is it?

I think it is this one.

Le Yan, you really are a genius.

If a fragrance maker married you, he wouldn't have to do anything but count money all day.

Don't fool around anymore.

You're able to make the hypnotic perfume so successfully.

I take some credit too for spending the whole night working on it. How will you reward me?

What type of reward?

Le Yan.

Your mouth is so sweet.

Go quickly. You have to go hypnotize Xia Chan.

Don't you want to know who the real devil is?

Who cares? I believe my dad.

It won't work.

If anything happens during the hypnotism,

the person being hypnotize will enter dream state and ever wake up.

Hypnotizing Xia Chan is very important. Although the perfume you made has the same scent as Hui Zi's,

but we still don't know whether it works or not.

So I think we should experiment it on someone first.

Experiment it on me then.

- No! - No.

No way.

But Mom, I don't want someone harmed because of the perfume I made.

You worry for your friend. But don't you think I worry for my own daughter too?

- But.. - No buts.

Stinky girl, how about this? I'll try it.

I, the Tyrant, have no secrets to hide. I haven't done anything I don't want people to know about.

Mom, let's let him try.

Huh? What did you call my mom?

Le Yan, I haven't had the chance to tell you this good news yet.

Yi Chen became my sworn son as of yesterday. You guys are siblings now.

Congratulations, stinky girl! Call him big brother!

Big brother.

Call her sister.

Quickly.

Sister.

Oh right, I can't call you Yi Chen bro anymore. I have to call you big brother from now on.

Okay, okay. We're all a big family from now on.

- We have to be happy together. - Happy, of course we're happy.

Le Yan, if he later enters an uncontrollable state,

you have to remember to use the perfume that'll make him wake up.

Don't worry, nothing bad will happen.

Le Yan.

Le Yan? Are you here?

Subtitles by The Aromatic Team @Viki

Right now, you're very young. You're still a child.

Where are you right now?

I am playing in the gardens right now.

Playing in the gardens? Who do you see?

My mom. Auntie and Pei Shan.

- And... - And who?

And there's a little girl.

Who is that little girl?

It's...

It's... it's... it's little sister Ruo Huan.

Then were did little sister Ruo Huan go?

I don't know. She suddenly disappeared. I can't find her either.

I can't believe the memory that Zhi Yuan hides the deepest in his mind,

has something to do with Le Yan's childhood.

Zhi Yuan. Zhi Yuan?

Mr. Ning

Oh, it's you. Where is Le Yan and Zhi Yuan?

I also came to look for them.

We planned to meet right now but I don't know where they went.

Mr. Ning, when you went to Shanghai to sign up for the World Fragrance Competition, did everything go well?

Thanks for asking, everything went well.

What perfume is this? Why does it smell so weird?

And I've never seen a perfume that was made this way before.

Yes, the way this perfume was made is very interesting. It's the first time I've smelled it as well.

Do you feel better?

When you were being hypnotized, you mentioned a little sister Ruo Huan. Who is she, really?

I don't know either.

I seemed to have had a dream and in that dream, I went back to childhood.

Ruo Huan seems to be a good childhood friend of mine.

.

Why didn't I know that I had another sister besides Pei Shan?

Is this just a dream? Maybe she doesn't actually exist.

No. Hypnotism takes you to a memory you experienced once.

It doesn't take you to an imaginary world.

So the Ruo Huan that you bought up earlier must have existed.

And not only so, your impression of her must be really deep.

Or else out of all the things you have ever experienced, why do you only remember the time when you were with her?

But since there is a Ruo Huan and I like her a lot,

why didn't I think of her before?

Maybe your memory was erased.

Mom.

It's fine, it's fine.

The tea water was a little hot. It's alright.

A person's memory can be erased?

That would depend on the person.

If the memory is not too deep, you can use the forget perfume.

The forget perfume can cause someone to forget the past.

And can be used to forget a person.

Forget perfume?

Even if a memory was erased, it does not mean it's completely gone.

It just sleeps within a person's brain, so it's hard to remember.

Was one of my childhood memories erased using the forget perfume?

Correct.

Someone didn't want you to remember.

So he used a high dosage of it.

I just hypnotized you,

but it only revived one of your early memories.

Then who could this person be?

Could it be your dad?

No way.

One, you dad can make this forget perfume.

Second, you're the Ning family's Young Master.

Your nanny and guard must have always followed you.

Other than your dad, who else would have the opportunity to do such a thing?

What Le Yan said makes sense.

Think about who that Ruo Huan could be.

What happened to her that made your dad not want you to remember her?

My dad...

I never thought Le Yan would be this talented.

She was able to make such a complex perfume just by smelting your hypnotic perfume.

Yeah, Le Yan's born with great skills.

Her ability is beyond anything I could imagine.

Le Yan definitely made this hypnotic perfume to hypnotize that insane woman.

We must kidnap that insane woman before they're able to accomplish this.

Hypnotism can only be used when one is in a calm state of mind.

In order to get the best results.

That insane woman isn't stable right now.

So they would wait until tonight.

Which is when a person's mind is the calmest to start.

Immediately carry out orders to attack tonight.

- Xia Chan, do you recognize me?- Xia Chan, don't be scared.

Forget it, I don't think it'll help.

There is no way we can hypnotize her right now.

What should we do?

Let's wait until she's better.

Let's see how she is tonight.

I'll get some calming perfumes ready.

I'll go out for a while.

Zhi Yuan, where are you going?

What if the devil comes?

The devil won't come in broad daylight.

I'll be back quickly.

I think he's going back to the Ning mansion to find out why he lost his memory.

Dad, tell me who that little sister Ruo Huan is.

There's no little sister Ruo Huan.

Did you make it up?

Dad, you're still lying to me.

Tell me, did you use the forget perfume on me and cause me to forget an important memory?

I did. When you were small, I definitely did use the forget perfume.

Why did you do that?

Listen to dad first.

It's because when you were young, you kept complaining and whining, saying you wanted to see that little sister Ruo Huan.

But did you know? That little sister Ruo Huan later fell into a pond and drowned.

Dad was worried that you would be depress. That you would not be able to handle the trauma.

So I used the forget perfume to make you forget her.

Little sister Ruo Huan is already dead?

No way..?

You don't even believe your own dad?

Then who is this Ruo Huan?

She's an adoptive daughter of mine.

She and her dad lived on our mansion for a little while.

Then what about her dad?

Her dad...

Her dad later went away to do business.

We've lost contact since.

Then?

Then...?

How did you suddenly remember this?

Did someone say something to you?

No.

Maybe the forget perfume you used when I was a child is losing its power.

Mom.

Why are you so out of it today?

No, I'm pretty good.

Seeing Zhi Yuan like that today, I thought of myself.

People say I'm smart and I have a good memory.

I don't ever forget anything I've smelled.

But I don't know why, I don't have any memories of my childhood.

Then it might be because you were too small so you couldn't remember.

You didn't use the forget perfume on me, did you?

Silly girl, how can that be?

I don't understand perfumes at all.

Why do you suddenly suspect me?

Do you think I have some secret I can't tell anyone?

No, I'm not suspecting you.

I was just asking. Of course I believe you, Mom.

What? It's Xia Chan?

Yeah. I can't believe Le Yan and Ning Zhi Yuan would tell me such an important information.

Then what do you plan to do?

I want to cure Xia Chan.

Stupid.

If you cure Xia Chan, you'll prove those two brats correct.

That'll expose the other devil,

and let Ning Zhi Yuan escape blame.

Then if we blame all this on Ning Hao Tian,

then won't the other devil get to do whatever he wishes?

Silly kid.

Dad sent you to the police station to become the a commissioner.

The purpose is not to help those busybodies accomplish something.

What do you mean, Dad?

Dad wants you to purposely put off hypnotizing Xia Chan for as long as possible.

This way, I can find a chance to secretly take her away.

You'll kidnap Xia Chan?

Since we can't use those Japanese people's power,

then we'll find out who other devil is on our own.

Then come to an agreement with him and we'll fight Ning Hao Tian together.

Le Yan, I'm sorry.

I afraid I'll have to disappoint you again.

Brother An, you have great medical skills.

Xia Chan has calmed down a lot by now.

Can you hypnotize her right now?

Not right now.

Mom and Zhi Yuan haven't returned yet.

We'll wait until they come back so they can witness me hypnotizing Xia Chan. We'll all find out who the devil is.

This way, there won't be any misunderstandings.

Brother, since we're siblings now,

I want to tell you how I really feel inside.

Go ahead.

I know Brother An must feel really conflicted inside.

Although you've previously lied to me and caused me to feel really disappointed.

It's because you weren't as perfect as I've had thought.

But that doesn't mean you I can't forgive you.

So I hope you, me, and Zhi Yuan,

the three of us can try our best to soften the hatred between Teacher and Ning family.

Thank you for your good intentions.

But the hatred between my An family and the Ning family can only be washed away with blood.

But Lord Ning said that Teacher and Lord Ning didn't have any big fallout.

It was only because Teacher An, he-

He's lying.

I know you only believe Ning Zhi Yuan right now and not me.

But I still have to tell you.

Ning Hao Tian is the devil. That is the truth.

You cannot believe in people like him.

To tell you the truth,

I don't know if I'm suppose to believe you and Teacher or Lord Ning.

To be sure whether or not Lord Ning is the devil,

we have to wait until we've hypnotize Xia Chan and she tells us the truth.

So right now, please hypnotize her.

Let's wait until Zhi Yuan comes back first.

But if Lord Ning really is the devil, having Zhi Yuan at the scene will only make things worst.

What if we hypnotize her first? I'll explain everything to Zhi Yuan later.

- But.. - No more buts.

Look at the sky outside.

I feel like something bad is going to happen.

I'm scared the devil knows that Xia Chan is here with us now.

I'm scared he'll come to try to take her.

So why don't we hypnotize her now before something bad happens?

Or is it because... you have a reason...?

So you are purposely trying to waste time?

I'll listen to you.

Miss Xia Chan, today is the Growing Festival.

Everyone is praying to the Flower Goddess.

Where are you and your girlfriends?

At... at the peach blossom woods.

At the peach blossom woods, doing what?

I'm playing with the water.

Who did you meet after playing in the water?

After playing in the water...

After playing in the water...!

Don't be scared. Don't be scared.

Tell me. Who did you see after you played in the water?

I saw...

Hey Miss, I've already told you many times.

I only want to borrow your clothes.

If you agree, don't blink.

If you don't agree, then keep staring and never blink.

But you've already stared at me for a long time.

Don't you want to blink?

She blinked! You blinked, so that means you agree.

Don't worry, this is only compensation.

Ning Zhi Yuan changed your clothes.

Then told Ah San and Ah Si to guard you.

What were they doing?

I only heard Young Master Ning yell.

What did he yell/

I don't know what he yelled.

But right after, Ah San and Ah Si ran out.

Afterwards.. afterwards, two masked people came.

Those who masked people,

who are they?

They're... masked people...

They're...

Mom.

Mom!

Look.

This is Mom's shoe.

Quickly, quickly!

Hey, what are you guys doing?

Where do you think you're running to?

Don't move!

Who was it that just kicked me? Was it you?

It wasn't you? Then it was you!

You kicked me so hard.

I didn't know you'd run that quick.

Brother An, over there!

Mom! Mom.

Hold her up, let me see.

Mom was given a pill to make her unconscious. She'll be fine.

Hey. Wake up, wake up!

Wake up! Where's the others?

Where did that person go? Where did that person go?

Talk! I'm telling you to talk! Talk! Where's that person?

Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk!

Bastard (in Japanese) !

You're going to pull my teeth out? (he doesn't understand Japanese)

I'm going to beat you to death! To death! I'm going to beat you to death!

.

Xia Chan was kidnapped by someone.

Then this person is...?

He's dead.

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

There's poison on the sword. It went directly into his chest.

Our enemy probably doesn't want to leave anyone alive.

We finally found Xia Chan.

Now our only hope is gone.

When they were kidnapping Xia Chan,

they spread a perfume that messes with your sense of smell.

I can't smell anyone else's scent right now.

This masked person's scent is also really unique.

It's completely different than the scent I smelled in the Mo Wang region.

Now that you've mentioned it, this person is really weird.

I hit him nonstop but he wouldn't say anything.

I thought he was mute.

Then he finally said something but I couldn't understand him.

Oh right. I think he yelled at me and told me he was going to pull out my teeth.

And then when I asked him again, he was already dead.

What? Explain it clearly.

Maybe he didn't say he was going to pull out my teeth...

It should be... eight eagles? (sounds similar)

Maybe that was their signal.

It's all my fault that we fell for their trick.

Zhi Yuan, did you tell anyone else about Xia Chan?

No. I didn't even tell my dad.

I'm just afraid some people are purposely trying to leak info.

You're referring to me, aren't you?

I'll tell you the truth. I suspect your dad is the devil.

If my suspicion was confirmed by Xia Chan, I would be able to arrest him.

More than anyone else, I didn't want anything to happen to Xia Chan.

But there are some people who might be scared of the truth so they set up a plan to kidnap her.

You referring to me, aren't you?

I just think it's weird.

Both you and Le Yan really care about the hypnotic perfume.

But during such a crucial moment when we're about to hypnotize Xia Chan,

you ran to see your dad.

Once you went, you were gone for a whole day. You only came back in the middle of the night.

Hey, don't frame me.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more I think what happened to Ruo Huan was weird.

I came back so late because

I secretly went to ask old servants about my childhood.

Then did you get any new information?

None. Other than the old housekeeper,

the other servants started working less than ten years ago.

There's no more old servants.

The old housekeeper said the same thing as my dad.

That Ruo Huan was a normal childhood playmate of mine.

Afterwards, she fell into a pond and drowned.
