[Bloody Romance]
[Episode 20]

[Target: Cha Wu]

[Age: 40]

[Title: Heavenly Assassin]

[Description: Deeply sentimental and passionate, uses invisible attacks]

[Difficulty: 4 out of 5 stars]

You're selling your body to save your father.

My father is stricken with a grave illness.

We have no money to seek medical help.

It is rare for anyone to show such filial piety as you have.

Take this silver tael.

Thank you for saving me. I will go and buy the medicine for my father immediately. Then I will follow you, Benefactor.

I will work as a slave for you without complaint for the rest of my life.

The rest of your life is too long. I need you for just one night.

When you have settled your father's affair tomorrow, come to the Mishi Fabric Store to look for me.

Madam!

What else?

Aren't you afraid that I might not go there?

Would you do that?

- I won't.
- See you tomorrow.

Do you like it?

I do.

It suits you quite well.

Wear this outfit.

- Is this for me?
- Of course, it is.

But there is a condition to it.

From this moment on, you'll pretend to be my daughter.

Is this appropriate?

Why not? I need you for only one night.

You can return to your father tomorrow and continue to be filial to him.

No, no. I feel that

since you are so young and beautiful,

I will cause you to appear older if I address you as my mother.

Unnecessary worries. Here.

Let me hear you address me as "Mother."

Mother.

Good daughter.

Let us take a trip outside.

Where are we going?

Yixian Winery.

Do you know why I brought you here?

Because today is your, my daughter's, birthday.

But today is not my--

If you say it is, then it is.

Thank you, Mother.

Do you know what is most famous in Yixian Winery?

Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. The wine in the winery is also not bad.

Its name "Yixian" is taken to mean

"the gleam of a Dutchman's pipe" cactus.

Come!

Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long. As you all are well aware,

there is a Dutchman's Pipe Cactus in my Yixian Winery.

It is known as the "Golden Sparrow Waiting for the Night." It is a rare treasure that is not found for thousands of miles.

And tonight is the time when this Dutchman's Pipe Cactus will bloom.

- Good.
- Good.

There is a slip of paper on the table in front of the each of you.

Whosoever wishes to appreciate the flower can write the price on the paper slip.

Pass them to the waiter and I'll check the paper slips on the spot.

The esteemed guest who has bid the highest price will be announced publicly.

This esteemed guest can then follow me to the rear courtyard

and enjoy the blooming of the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus

while sampling my gift of a jar of the best quality honey wine.

Did I explain myself clearly?

Everyone, please commence.

- Here, here.
- Please take a seat.
- Please.

[Vermilion Bird Seat]

I do not have many demands.

Just do as I have instructed,

I will surely not make it hard for you.

I'm in a difficult position this time around.

Two of my esteemed guests have bid the same amount. They are

the Vermilion Bird Seat and Black Tortoise Seat.

Aiyo. This is something never encountered before in tens of years.

What shall be done about it?

To bid again may cause us to miss out on the blooming of the cactus.

I wonder if the esteemed guest at Vermillion Bird Seat

is willing to

enjoy this fine wine and auspicious time with me? And to get thoroughly drunk, too?

Exactly my intention.

- After you.
- After you.

My other esteemed guests, please enjoy yourselves at your leisure. Call me if you need anything.

This is...

She is my daughter.

Daughter?

She does look a little like you.

Today is my daughter's birthday.

Are you willing to join us, mother and daughter, and drink a toast?

What a coincidence. It is also my birthday today.

I'd like to drink a toast to you. I wish for you

to get everything you desire, Miss.

This is the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. It is very beautiful indeed.

When I gave birth to my daughter, it coincided with the blooming of the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus.

I was in such pain as though I was being ripped from the inside. I wanted to die.

But it was still blooming unhurriedly.

It's really heartless.

Looks like you owe your mother quite a lot.

This is the first time I've seen the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus. I've come especially for it.

At this time every year,

I come here to celebrate my daughter's birthday.

It's so good to have a mother like you.

What about your mother?

She's not here anymore.

Do you mean that your mother has passed away?

It has nothing to do with you.

My apologies. I was disrespectful. I just feel that

my mother is usually compassionate. If you are willing to tell us about it,

perhaps my mother can accept you as her daughter.

The flower is about to bloom. With such a pretty view,

let's not bring up these sad things

Let's talk about something else.

Like what?

For example, you two.

Which one of you is here to kill me?

It has been a long time since I returned to Guihua City,

but this doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on.

Tell me outright. Who is the one who wants to kill me

and take my place as a Heavenly Assassin?

Both of you!

Can't we wait until the flowers fall before talking about this?

Today is your day of suffering. It is also this young lady's birthday.

If we start fighting now, wouldn't it be a waste?

Since I've already been revealed, that works too.

There is no need for

shadows to be involved in the battle for the position of Heavenly Assassin.

Such a pity for a beautiful lady of sixteen years old.

If your mother were still alive,

she would definitely feel miserable.

What a joke!

Don't you know that those from Guihua City are always ready to strike at any given time?

Tell me. Why did you come to kill me?

City Master thinks that you are getting old.

Your beauty has faded and love has abandoned you. You are now useless.

As expected, that is really Cha Luo's style.

You know how to use fragrance?

Don't you know how to do it, too?

Why don't we use fragrances to battle for victory and defeat?

Little girl, who told you that I know how to use fragrance?

- What do you mean?
- I stopped using fragrances a long time ago.

My sense of smell was destroyed since long ago.

You are definitely here to disrupt things.

I am here to supervise the battle by the order of the City Master.

Stop trying to act innocent.

You came especially to tell me that Cha Wu is an expert in using fragrance a few days ago.

You wanted me to deliberate on my layout.

Your present layout has absolutely no difference from the one you planned previously.

If you had listened to my advice

and used the unique fragrance that you bring with you everywhere,

you wouldn't have ended up in this position.

No matter what your original intentions were,

you are my daughter tonight. You promised me.

There is no one who will stand in our way now.

We can fight to the death now.

Look. The flower has bloomed.

The flower looked just like that

the year I gave birth to you. It blooms so slowly.

I have not used all my power yet.

Let's go again!

This can't be possible.

Bullhead Sandalwood. It is difficult to find in this world.

Looks like you have not seen it before.

Can you tell me, Miss,

where that Bullhead Sandalwood

came from?

It's the protective talisman that my mother gave to me.

In the year I turned one,

my mother left our home.

She abandoned my father and me.

My father soothed me by saying that

my mother was the Jiutian Xuannü, beautiful and alluring.

However, the ways of immortals and humans are far apart and distant.

She had no choice but to leave.

But there will come a day... there will come a day

when she will remember me.

Remember the kindness my father had shown to her

and return to reunite with us.

I found out later that

she cheated my father out of all his wealth.

This Bullhead Sandalwood

was the love token between my father and her.

My father, who was infatuated with love, kept it all this while.

He was reluctant to sell it.

Is your father still around?

Dead. He was gravely ill.

We had no money for medical treatment. He passed away just like that.

I have a wish actually.

That is, to find

the cheat who caused my father's deep devotion.

She was in that place known as Guihua City.

Therefore, the one who must die

in this battle for Heavenly Assassin

must be you.

Daughter.

I am your mother.

Zheng'er...

I found you at last.

Who are you exactly?

Zheng'er,

the year I gave birth to you

was exactly when the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus bloomed.

As the petals fell to the ground

you were born with a loud cry, too.

You were so little back then.

I had wanted to go into seclusion

and live well with your father and you.

I didn't think that

Lan He would find me eventually. I had no choice but to leave.

The day I left

was your first birthday.

I forced myself to wait till the flower petals fell to the ground before leaving,

never to see you ever again.

Zheng'er, I've found you again.

Let me touch you. Let me touch you.

But...

But my mission...

I... I...

I understand.

Being able to celebrate another birthday with you

is enough for me.

Come. Attack me.

Do it.

I accepted City Master's orders to come and supervise the fight.

The outcome of the fight has already been decided. Cha Wu has been defeated. Kill her!

Chang An has already sent away your shadows. You must leave quickly.

Mother, let's go.

Mother. Mother.

Mother.

Zheng'er, listen to me. Leave Guihua City.

The farther, the better.

Mother!

Mother? Mother!

Mother!

Your mother's corpse has already been transported back to Guihua City.

You knew all along.

Is that right?

Say it. You must've already known.

That's right. City Master arranged the situation

in order for you and your mother to kill each other.

I thought City Master liked me

and deliberately gave me an opportunity to climb up to the top.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Guihua City has thousands of eyes.

I already did my best to notify you.

The City Master that I've fawned over at all costs

surprisingly had been thinking of a plot to harm me.

Yet, you, who is a thorn in my side,

actually thought of every possible method to help me.

Isn't this too funny?

It has already reached this point.

Please contain your grief.

Is there anything else

about my mother that I don't know about?

Your mother's mission that year

was precisely to win your father's trust

and swindle away his wealth and farm.

Unexpectedly, your mother truly fell for your father

and was unwilling to return to Guihua City.

Afterward, she gave birth to you.

You know about what happened after that.

That's why every year

on my birthday, she would

look for a girl to pretend to be me

and go see the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus together.

It's almost sunset. We should return for debriefing.

I don't want to return.

I don't want to return, either;

but you and I have nowhere else to go.

Let's form an alliance. All right?

How about we discuss a plan?

Maybe in the near future,

one of us will be the City Master and the other a Supreme Assassin.

We can then control the entire Guihua City.

Your mother's final wish

was for you to leave Guihua City.

But she had been running away her whole life.

In the end, she couldn't escape

and ended up dying tragically.

I've already thought about it. Only by becoming more powerful,

will I be able to control Guihua City firmly

and take revenge for my mother.

Unfortunately, you're not standing high enough

and you can't see far enough.

You don't deserve your ambition.

I will let you see my foresight and sincerity!

Master Mei.

Have you taken care of the funeral arrangements for Cha Wu?

Yes.

Very well.

We should be on our way. I'll go get Wan Xiang.

Master Mei.

That's right. The information about Cha Wu that you delivered that night was very useful. Thank you.

But... this doesn't make up for anything.

[Prince Ning's Manor]

It sounds like the Heavenly Assassin

will be replaced.

Yes.

Then I must stay at Prince Ning Manor for a few more days.

You return to Guihua City first to watch Cha Luo closely.

However, don't argue or clash with her.

I understand.

How is the inquiry about the salt business?

It's just as you expected.

The elders of the Han family are too busy to attend to the salt business.

They handed it over to Han Xiu's younger brother, Han Yue, to manage.

However, Han Yue continues to investigate his older brother's death

and transferred the business to the Chief of the Wulin Alliance, Fang Ge.

Fang Ge?

He is really troublesome.

Do you want me to go and deal with him?

That's not necessary. I'm guessing he's already here.

I, Fang Ge, seek an audience with Prince Ning.

I heard you were blind.

Unexpectedly, you can play this black and white game, too.

I can only fumble around with the pieces. Go ahead.

Huan Tan once said

that the game of Go is actually regarded as the art of war.

An expert doesn't pay attention to the fight.

Instead, he pays attention to promoting the ambush.

He'll gradually surround the enemy to gain the upper hand.

You elaborately set up a trap this time

and succeeded in assassinating Minister Han Xiu.

I wanted to come this time to ask you, Prince Ning,

what is your intention?

Mencius also said, playing chess is a trivial skill.

But if you aren't completely devoted to it, you won't learn it.

Nowadays, I'm an idle prince.

I can only drink tea

and play chess to find some consolation.

Based on what you said,

you had nothing to do with the assassination of Han Xiu?

You're right, Chief.

The order to assassinate Han Xiu

indeed came from Guihua City, which belongs to me.

You killed my close friend.

How will you explain it to me?

Guihua City makes business off of assassinations.

Alliance Chief, how do you want me to explain it?

Who is the employer?

Tell me and I will pay whatever price you ask.

Alliance Chief Fang,

do not joke about this.

My Guihua City holds a position in the Jianghu realm.

Besides being a jack of all trades,

the city relies on abiding strictly by rules.

Not divulging the identity of any employer

is the number one duty of my secret assassination ministry.

Prince Ning, are you really rejecting me?

I sincerely have no comment.

Fine.

Then, I won't make things difficult for you. I can settle for the next best thing.

What?

Hand over Han Xiu's assassin.

It'll be convenient for me and you.

Besides, you still owe me a favor.

Go back and tell Gong Zi

that this Guajian Grass will be my greeting gift to him. He is now indebted to me.

Alliance Chief Fang, may I think it over?

If you don't hand over that young lady,

I won't be able to explain it to the Han family.

At that time, not only will I die,

other Jianghu sects will come and cause a disturbance, too.

Since Guihua City is established in the Jianghu,

it's inevitable that it'll seek to be recognized by those in the Jianghu.

Otherwise, people will exclude it from the Jianghu realm

and it might even disappear. That's not impossible.

I need some time.

How many days do you want?

One day?

One month.

Don't push your limit!

Will you listen to my explanation first?

Alliance Chief Fang,

I know you want to use this assassin

to give the Wulin Alliance and Han Yue an explanation.

However, the order to assassinate Minister Han, Han Xiu, was assigned by Cha Luo.

I only know that the young lady is an Earthly Assassin,

but I don't know which of the twelve Earthly Assassins she is.

Whether you believe me or not is beyond my control.

However, if handing over a mere Earthly Assassin can ensure the safety of my entire Guihua City,

why would I lie?

That's why I wanted to ask you for a month

and use this one month's time

to find out who assassinated Minister Han, Han Xiu.

I will personally transport her to your manor

and personally hand her over to you.

All right. I will give you one month.

City Master. City Master?

City Master.

I'm fine. I was dreaming.

How was the Heavenly Assassin competition?

Cha Wu was defeated.

It's indeed as I expected.

Have you made proper arrangements for the aftermath?

Yes.

Reporting to City Master. These are the Qilin blood gu retrieved from the body of Heavenly Assassin Cha Wu.

There is a total of twenty.

Cha Wu is dead. I'm deeply saddened by it.

But Guihua City

can only tolerate the loneliness of strong individuals.

It doesn't show mercy to those who are weak.

Based on this point, all of you did very well.

I'm making a proclamation. Wan Xiang will immediately become a Heavenly Assassin.

Since Wan Mei achieved merit for supervising the fight,

she will keep the Earthly Assassin position.

- Thank you City Master.
- Divide the twenty blood gu insects

into two. Each of you takes half.

City Master, I only supervised the fight. I dare not take credit for the achievement.

The Qilin blood gu belong exclusively to Heavenly Assassins.

All of them should belong to Wan Xiang.

You've never cared about the rules before.

Why are you caring about the rules now?

It's not that I didn't abide by the rules previously.

Rather, I didn't have enough experience and didn't understand the importance of becoming strong.

Now,

I've experienced life and death once

and you've repeatedly given me sincere advice, City Master.

You said that Guihua City is ruled by the strong, home for the victorious.

Whereas there's only death for the weak.

I recently understood the profound meaning of this.

Although I'm only a mere Earthly Assassin,

I don't consider myself weak.

I'm willing to rely on my own efforts to get to the top position I deserve.

I pledge my loyalty and life to you, City Master.

You're looking prettier

and you're speaking better, too.

Fine. Then I'll listen to you.

The twenty blood gu insects will all belong to Wan Xiang.

All of you leave.

- Yes.
- Yes.
