[Bloody Romance]

- You came. - Yes.

I intentionally came to see you

and conveniently tell you that Cha Wu is dead.

Now, the only ones in our generation

who are left are you and I. Cha Ru.

So, did you come to kill me?

No.

I intentionally came to see you

and look at your beautiful complexion.

You were once an assassin who was glad to be back in your proper surroundings. (lit. like a fish back in the water)

You acted as a City Master for three months.

It's a pity all of these are gone.

You must be happy. Right?

This is exactly the ending that you deserve.

You've utterly failed. (lit. failed and wiped over the floor)

Now, you are only fit to kneel down to me like this,

capitulating (lit. to bow before) and fawning. (lit. bow and bend the knee)

Lately, your temper has increased greatly.

The king gu insect inside your body is probably

starting to become restless again.

The day for it to finally rebel and bite will happen soon. Right?

I have already subdued it for more than ten years.

I'm not afraid of the king gu rebelling and biting anymore.

Then why must Xing Feng use my body as a gu device?

One after another, he develops

a (poisonous) gu insect to feed the king gu.

How is that not doing more than is required?

It's indeed the punishment you deserve.

It's the retribution you must repay.

You're lacking confidence.

It's fine whether you admit it or not.

The anti-sex on Xing Feng can't be solved.

You and Xing Feng will be longing for each other for a long time,

like a dream.

The two of you can only be like now forever,

yearning to be intimate, but you can't.

When your desire is burning,

he can only be like a eunuch.

You're disappointed. Right?

Don't think I'm as naive as I was in the past

and can easily be tricked by you like this.

Keep dreaming!

I won't let you die so easily.

I want you to be like this now,

living like neither a person nor a demon

and dying is better than living!

City Master, a person from Jigu Pavilion is here.

I know. I'll go there right away.

All of you are destined to suffer in purgatory,

consigned to eternal damnation!

I don't care!

Xing Feng is willing to be together with me.

Irregardless of the ending,

we will never regret it!

What an eyesore.

- Hurry and tidy up. - Yes.

Hurry.

Prepare a generous burial.

Master, whatever the case, the dead is a person of our Jigu Pavilion after all.

Can the City Master not even give a word of explanation?

Impertinent!

How can you dare to be so disrespectful to City Master?

I was mistaken. I know my faults.

Go to the torture chamber on your own and accept thirty whippings.

Yes.

Whatever you want to say, just say it.

I'm afraid if I say it, I'll be beaten too.

You aren't like him.

The reason I chose him is

to satisfy my voracious desire mentally and physically. But you

are concerned about your former Master every day.

You're a product that can't be brought up to be skillful. I can only chat with you.

I think that lately, City Master isn't the same as how she used to be.

It doesn't look like it's caused by her fierce temper.

Then, what is it?

City Master's complexion has been changeable recently.

One moment, it's flushed. The next moment, it's deathly white.

It's like the qi and blood are raging and she's powerless to suppress the expression.

Guihua City always had a rumor

that City Master obtained a king gu, but she's can't subdue it.

Every month, she suffers from the bite and rebellion of the king gu.

It's indeed a rumor.

Since ancient times, the king gu won't rebel and bite the host.

How can an intelligent person like you not know about this?

Since you believe it's a rumor, then it's precisely so.

I won't worry about City Master anymore then.

A person must be clear of one's own position

and know when to stop. (lit. to stop before going too far)

Guihua City is indeed a place where the victorious rules.

However, it's not a place to cultivate and gather. Those who obey her will live

and those who oppose her will die.

I'm always cautious and seldom speak.

It's because you asked today so I didn't care and spoke out of turn.

As for how you think,

that's your own matter.

I'm tired. Help me get ready for bed.

Yes.

Master, you're awake.

Er Yue,

what are you sneakily doing here?

Did your Master make you come here?

Replying to Master,

I was assigned by Torture Chamber Master. He said as an Earthly Assassin, you must have a shadow.

So from now on, I'll be your shadow.

Your Master Xiang family is nice.

She was even promoted to Heavenly Assassin.

Why would you want to follow me?

Master Cha Wu previously had a shadow named, Feng Zhu.

Regarding martial arts skills and experience, he's better than me.

So it's only right for Master Xiang to choose him.

Since you couldn't ride on Master Xiang's success (lit. poultry and dogs rise to Heaven), you're probably feeling resentful. Right?

How can that be possible? Whether it's your appearance or talent,

it's even better than Master Xiang. Therefore, being able to follow you is my good fortune.

When you followed her previously to punish me and give me a hard time,

your behavior wasn't like this.

Master Mei, you know that in Guihua City,

shadows can't go against their master's wish.

I didn't have the freedom to act independently.

Master Mei, please disregard my vile character and accept me.

Master Mei, Torture Chamber Master said,

if you don't accept me, Torture Chamber Master won't spare me!

Master Mei, please do me a favor and save me!

I don't want to die! I want to live!

Master Mei, I beg you! I'll be grateful to you!

Master Mei, I beg you!

Enough. Enough.

I got it.

Does that mean you accept me?

Does Chuixing Pavilion leave it up to me to disagree?

Thank you Master Mei. Thank you Master Mei for your generosity!

I'm grateful to Master Mei!

- Thank you Master Mei! - Stop it.

I'm not the same Wan Mei as before,

unable to guard against your behavior.

I've already said once. Not only are you beautiful on the outside,

but you're also beautiful inside. The Heavens will definitely take care of you.

How come it's you?

Someone unexpectedly died yesterday.

Master Liu Guang instructed me to stand in for her first.

- She instructed you to stand in for her? - Er Yue.

This is Jigu Pavilion's matter.

Is it necessary for you to be involved?

I was babbling. I was being meddlesome.

I shouldn't speak. I admit my mistake.

After you're done hitting yourself enough, come here and help me get dressed.

Master Mei.

Help me comb my hair.

I'm..not your shadow now.

Then I can't instruct you anymore.

Master Mei, let me. Let me, Master Mei.

Don't call me Master Mei!

Yes...I won't call you that.

I've changed my mind. I don't want to comb my hair.

All right...Anything you say is fine.

Master Mei is already done freshening up.

Leave immediately.

Don't leave yet. Wait for me to finish talking to Miss Wan Mei.

Then go back with me.

Miss Liu Guang,

I wonder what brings you here today.

I have an ulterior motive for visiting. (lit. one doesn't visit a temple without a cause)

I came to pass on City Master's orders.

Miss Wan Mei, you have a new mission.

So you're saying that the mission to assassinate Qin Yu Sang and frame Fang Ge

was assigned to Wan Mei?

That's right.

Do you feel there's something unsuitable?

This mission is extremely difficult.

Wan Mei might not be able to complete it.

That's why I asked you at that time

to entrust a person of Jianghu to find Cha Luo.

I originally thought she would assign the mission to Liu Guang.

She is an assassin after all.

The probability of success would naturally be higher.

No matter what happens we have to be prepared.

Even if she's unlucky and both sides suffer,

my assistant wouldn't be harmed either.

But it's been assigned to Wan Mei now.

So apparently,

Cha Luo is still severely wary of Wan Mei

and won't allow her to live well for even a little.

Then I'll...go think of a way

Never mind.

Since it has been assigned to Wan Mei, that's precisely her fate.

That's good, too.

Assassinate Qin Yu Sang and frame Fang Ge.

Master, you can't accept this mission.

Currently, you still don't have martial arts skills.

Going to assassinate an exceptional expert is like throwing your life away.

Er Yue is indeed clever.

He's so straightforward.

However, he isn't wrong.

The level of this mission

is usually for me to do.

City Master has never assigned it to an Earthly Assassin.

This mission is indeed thorny (problem).

I wonder if Miss Liu Guang brought along Qin Yu Sang's information?

Brother Chang An, you and Master Mei have a good relationship.

Hurry and advise her.

Brother Chang An, you can't watch your former Master throw away her life in vain!

You indeed have a heart of stone. Hurry and advise her!

You're a disgrace of the family.

It's nothing if you're only interested in saving yourself. (lit. greedy for life, afraid of death)

- Yet, you beg other people's shadow! - I don't dare.

Master, I sincerely was doing it for your sake!

Qin Yu Sang is an expert in many schools of thought.

His martial arts skill isn't less than Fang Ge and he doesn't lust after women.

He has no weakness to talk about.

Besides, he and Fang Ge are lifelong friends.

Saying that Fang Ge killed him, no one in the world will believe it.

You still haven't gotten up?!

Previously, there's no other choice but to accept the mission given by Chuixing Pavilion.

There's no possibility of declining. If you're afraid of dying,

it's fine for me to do it alone.

Miss Wan Mei is indeed impressive.

If you have any problems after a period of planning,

you're welcome to come and find me at any time.

If you need a person to help,

I can also lend Chang An for you to use for a few days.

I'm a person of Master Liu Guang.

I should always be by Master Liu Guang's side and serve you.

Master, please think it through.

Are you really unwilling to keep me company?

You must know if you step out of this situation, inside Guihua City, you

will be the highest ranked shadow besides Torture Chamber Master.

Master, you understand me.

Your mannerism is always unmoved by persuasion.

Forget it. You'd better guard outside the door.

Yes.

Come over here.

Take this pill.

This pill is called, Li Sao.

It's an aphrodisiac that makes a person passionate like fire.

If you renege,

you can step inside this door at any time

and drag Yi Shi out.

I...will be yours.

Master, I'm here.

Chang An, do you have anyone that you like?

Do you have anyone that you like after all?

Do you like me a little?

Do you think I'm beautiful?

Besides me, did you ever think another woman was beautiful?

Do you know where you are the most handsome?

Your eyes!

Because your eyes...

have me in them!

Get lost! I don't want to see you again tonight.

- Master, I... - Get lost!

Who is it?

Gong Zi.

This sword is called Hidden Deity. The footwork is the footwork of the Hidden Deity in this sword.

His name is Fu Mei Han.

The Hidden Deity Sword has altogether thirteen forms. The form just a moment ago is the simplest.

It's called Chuan Yun Po.

Take the sword.

Come and find me tomorrow at Tingzhu Courtyard.

Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Bloody Romantics @viki.com

[Tingzhu Courtyard]

Gong Zi.

This tune...are you familiar with it?

It's Yu Ji, a song that you and I collaborated on.

It's said that a broken string is a bad omen. What do you think?

I think the strings are only worldly possessions.

The quality of the material is separate. Cold and heat are also different.

If you rely solely on this trivial matter of a broken string to prophesy a person's future,

it's really too pessimistic.

Then according to you,

what's the most important in a person's future?

Stake all of your strength to deal with the fate of Heaven.

Then, you did your utmost to read Qin Yu Sang's information all night.

Have you figured out any good methods?

Just as the outside world says, he's crazy about martial arts.

He wholeheartedly studies every school of martial arts. He doesn't care about anything else.

So I thought I'd start with the military aspect.

To deal with something I'm not very good at.

So I would have no way of setting a trap.

The string is broken, think of a way to continue.

If your ability is insufficient, find a way to study.

You know last night I gave you a lesson with the Hidden Deity Sword in the Jianghu realm.

That kind of help is hard to find.

I didn't know.

Then, after you've seen it, have you tried to practice it?

I'll show you some disgraceful moves.

We don't have much time. You must remember the moves a moment ago carefully.

I will perform three times the entire set for you to practice.

When you return, combine them with the secrets of Lingering Life or Death. You might scare Qin Yu Sang.

I'll help you with your abilities.

In order for me to see Noble Warrior Qin's face, I started my journey last month from Nan Jiang.

I arrived here just now.

It's fine if Noble Warrior Qin doesn't want to appear, but he should have a date nevertheless.

That's right.

- Is that right? - Yes.

- Get out of the way. - What is he doing? - Get out of the way.

- Did you just come? - I've been waiting for three days.

Go to the back of the line.

If you have something to say, say it nicely. What's the meaning of touching me?

Do you want to compete?

Housekeeper Qi, who's making the noise?

Replying to Noble Warrior Qin, it's people who came to seek instructions for the martial arts skills.

It's nothing. I'll drive them away.

Noble Warrior Qin, I came here from far away because of your reputation.

Yet, you aren't even willing to appear. That's not the mannerism of a noble warrior.

- That's right. - I already gave orders earlier.

If an excellent martial artist is looking for me to exchange martial arts skills,

I, Qin Yu Sang, will be extremely welcoming.

If you don't have supreme skills and are only looking for me to give you instructions in martial arts,

forgive me for being blunt. I'm too lazy to receive visitors.

Noble Warrior Qin's martial arts skills is really exceptional.

I have an idea.

I can solve your sufferings from the daily disturbances.

I wonder if you're willing to hear it?

Speak.

All the people here

study and love martial arts.

There's a saying,

You can ask Housekeeper Qi

to prepare some paper, and pen and ink,

to let everyone write down the purpose of their visit

and the secret martial arts book they're exchanging.

If you see a person that you're content with,

leave it to the housekeeper to invite that person to come to the manor.

Thus, this will save some time of face-to-face discussion

and you won't miss out on anybody

who sincerely wants to exchange martial arts.

What do you think?

You're right.

Let's do it like this at once. Do it like this at once.

All right. My place has many visitors.

Your method to streamline a stand out from all the candidacy is actually unique.

Housekeeper Qi,

prepare pen and ink to let everyone slowly write.

After it's written properly, give it to me.

Yes.

This is pretty good.

This method is good.

Mankind.

Who wrote this?

It's that lady who made the suggestion just now.

What is she like?

She's beautiful (lit. lovely as a flower) and clever.

Ask all of them to leave.

This...This lady deserves to be seen once. Why...

Madam hates the most when I meet a beautiful lady. It's better to forget about it.

Yes. I'll go and inform them at once.

- How come he still hasn't come out? - Everyone...

I'm sorry. My family master has already seen the paper examinations.

I'm sorry for your troubles. Everyone, please leave.

- What? - How is that possible? - That's right.

- It's indeed a waste of time. - This is ridiculous. (lit. how can this be so?)

- How can it be like this? - It's a waste of time.

Young Lady, please wait a moment.

Is that the Hidden Deity Sword you're using?

Yes.

Since that's the case, my Family Master requests the pleasure of seeing you in the study. Come.

Are you worried about Wan Mei?

Yes.

I'm also not worried.

I've already agreed with Alliance Master Fang that I will hand over Wan Mei to him.

But now that Wan Mei went on the mission, it's unknown whether she's dead or alive.

I'm thinking what I should do next.

There's a way to handle it whether she's dead or alive.

You didn't promise that you must hand her over to him alive. It's not worth it to worry about it.

Although you say that,

a slight change will affect everything. (lit. pull one hair and the whole body moves)

If I really give Fang Ge a corpse,

I can't discuss business in the future either.

What business can you discuss with that Fang Ge?

Taking over the duties of Han Xiu's salt business. I need to pay an official call to Xue Yan House.

If I don't have the Alliance Master of the martial arts circle be a guarantor for me, how can I accomplish my goal?

Other people wrote about swords, halberds, and secrets of the heart method.

Yet you only wrote one word, “Mankind".

I want to hear your interpretation.

Mankind is produced from Heaven and Earth.

The spring season leaves. Then the fall season arrives. The passage of time produces the will of the people.

If the will of the people has the martial arts morals, the martial arts abilities are only the skills

to exchange pointers and provide self-defense.

The frame of mind seeks to be in the top position but can't bear the coldness (loneliness) of being at the top.

If not, even if the sword

is considered a noble weapon among noblemen,

but if it falls into the hands of a vile person,

it'll be like willfully slaughtering the innocents, too.

It's just like the enlightened remarks in the martial arts studies.

Even if the sword isn't in a person's hand but is in one's heart,

one can even kill with leaves and flowers, too.

If mankind cease to exist,

flowers and leaves will only be flowers and leaves.

They'll just be a scenery of flowers and leaves falling gently between Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, I think

that the most terrifying weapon in the world isn't the eighteen types of weapons

or the heart method sword list.

Rather, it's mankind per se.

Well said.
