[Bloody Romance]

17

Does this gentleman know that in order to join this trade, you have to pass three tests (lit crash three barriers).

18

- I have heard about this.

- The first barrier is to test your courage and insight.

19

The fact that you are able to enter into Xue Yan Lou proves that you have adequate courage and insight.You are considered to have passed the first barrier.

20

- What about the second barrier?

- The second barrier is to test your ability and learning.Will this gentleman please raise your head and guess

21

which god is being worshiped in the painting hanging on the palace wall?

22

I'm guessing

23

it should be the god of salt Guan Zhong.

24

How can you be sure?

25

During the Spring and Autumn period, Guan Zhong implemented the law on the taxation and sale of salt. He was being honored as the god of salt.

26

The trading of illegal salt arose at that opportune time. But salt belonged to the offices of the government.

27

It cannot be sold privately. Otherwise it becomes a serious criminal offense.

28

So to the traders of illegal salt, Guan Zhong is both a god and a demon.

29

The god of salt is being worshiped here. Yet the painting is turned to its back facing the public.

30

The meaning of this is perhaps to show the profound need for protection from the god of salt,

31

yet at the same time to escape from his eye of the law.

32

Gong Zi, you have a good understanding of it.

33

The fourth passage is?

34

Luck. As long as you get past this stage,

35

it is the Heaven that bestow food to you. No one would dare question you.

36

Here, there are 12 cups of wine. One of them has poison.

37

No one knows which cup is the one with poison.

38

The person who drinks the poison wine first will concede defeat.

39

This is gambling with one's life.

40

Certain. In the illegal salt trade,

41

one can lose his life anytime.

42

The person who cares only about profit but lacks the ability to understand

43

can definitely not be complicit in the future.

44

I have benefited from your advice.

45

May I know if it is the host who starts (lit guest suits the convenience of the host) or the guest who starts first (lit host suits the convenience of the guest)?

46

I'll go first.

47

Thank you for letting me win.

48

If you want to concede defeat, it is not too late yet.

49

But I have no intention of that. But it's just that the way we're going about drinking,

50

it's rather slow going.

51

Oh?

52

Am I considered to have won?

53

I've not lost yet.

54

That's enough.

55

Gong Zi, you've won.

56

Thank you for letting me win.

57

I've been poisoned.

58

Yue Ying will help Gong Zi to get rid of the poison now.

59

You can't now. Leave this place quickly before they detect anything.

60

If I can't make it to the foot of the mountain later, everything will depend on you.

61

Okay.

62

[Feng Se Yan Xiang]

63

Gong Zi

64

Their intention was to establish their power.

65

They did not want my life.

66

Bear with it for a little while more.

67

Wan Mei

68

why are you here?

69

The bad guy makes the accusation first. This is really

70

a disloyal and unrighteous slave.

71

I'm innocent.

72

It is Master Wan Mei and Chang An who have personal feelings for each other.

73

But she has no courage to ask the City Master for him. So they plotted purposefully to get rid of me ( lit the small one),

74

in exchange for Chang An. I'm not afraid, but my death will be in vain.

75

But in doing so, isn't Master Wan Mei disregarding all the rules of Guihua City?

76

Isn't she disregarding you, the City Master, too?

77

Oh? The master and the shadow are romantically involved?

78

Isn't that a big deal?

79

Since that's the case, I'll spare you.

80

Chamber Master will arrange a new master for you.

81

But, before any new master agree to have you,

82

you will go to the Torture Chamber and be given 3 strokes of cane everyday,

83

as a punishment for you being disloyal and unrighteous.

84

City Master, I..

85

I don't wish to say it again. Get out.

86

You may all leave.

87

Why so happy?

88

Well, of course.

89

I had only wanted to punish them privately in the past.

90

But now I have the chance to deal with them openly for what they have done.

91

My heart is filled with joy.

92

What do you say? How should I mete out the punishment to that Chang An?

93

Should I subject him to corporal punishment? Or give him gu?

94

As long as you like it, that's fine.

95

Physical wounds will always heal.

96

There's little meaning in it. Gu is better.

97

It is more fun to torture him day and night.

98

I think

99

Let's implant in him

100

the same anti-sex gu that Cha Ru implanted in you.

101

Anti-sex gu? You want to implant the anti-sex gu into Chang An?

102

Yeah.

103

I will return Chang An to Wan Mei once you have in implanted the anti-sex gu into him.

104

Let the two of them torture each other too.

105

No.

106

Why not?

107

There should not be a second Xing Feng in the world.

108

Do as you wish. But let me tell you this,

109

I must punish this couple.

110

Chang An, someone revealed that you and Wan Mei have a love affair.

111

Do you admit it?

112

Answering the Torture Chamber Master, absolutely not.

113

Then maybe you know that this time Wan Mei went out on a mission

114

and actually intended to deceive.

115

The City Master sent Wan Xiang first to prevent her from making a serious mistake.

116

I don't know.

117

But if the Torture Chamber Master wants to treat it as a reason to punish Master Mei,

118

I'm willing to take her place.

119

Shall we make a bet?

120

We'll bet whether or not your are sincere toward your Master Mei.

121

If in the end you are still this loyal

122

I'll let you live.

123

I don't know what you're trying to say.

124

I will put in you heart-devouring gu.

125

You can accompany her, protect her,

126

but you will have to endure lifetime of the gu's gnawing and biting.

127

If you are willing to implant the gu insect

128

I guarantee I will fulfill my promise to let you return to her side.

129

Xing Feng, why did you want to cover my copper mirror?

130

Lately you've been using the multi-colored glass to hypnotize yourself.

131

I wanted to cut off that idea.

132

But every night I'm plagued with nightmares.

133

If I don't hypnotize myself it's extremely difficult.

134

You had another dream last night?

135

Yes

136

It was a terrible nightmare. In my dream, I saw

137

that I wiped out the Xie family.

138

I was searching everywhere for the wordless Imperial Decree.

139

I found both my hands were drenched in blood.

140

But I couldn't find anything.

141

My master actually flew into a rage

142

and wanted to put me to death.

143

Wasn't that Yue Qingya? You're on an equal footing with him now.

144

You still can't let it go?

145

Don’t speak of this trouble anymore.

146

How is the devouring heart gu?

147

This gu insect survived.

148

Now I only need to plant it inside Wan Mei’s body.

149

After it’s properly planted, as long as two people

150

are within a one foot distance, Chang An’s core will immediately

151

burn like the fires of hell. He’ll be in so much pain that he’ll wish for death.

152

The closer the distance, the deeper the pain.

153

It should be sufficient to satisfy your goal.

154

I think this devouring heart gu,

155

although it will make him suffer,

156

isn’t like the anti-sex gu, making him lose his male dignity.

157

My Lord Xing, you’re really kind.

158

Within twelve hours, I want you to personally plant

159

this gu guide in your Master Wan Mei.

160

Once you accomplish this mission, Wan Mei will be your master again.

161

If you fail,

162

I’ll let both of you, master and servant, know the result of disobeying me.

163

Who?

164

Master Mei, it’s me.

165

What are you doing here?

166

Respectfully conveying City Master’s orders, there are two matters

167

I must consult with you.

168

Speak.

169

First, City Master asked me to personally

170

plant a gu insect in you.

171

What kind of gu insect?

172

It’s a gu insect that’s harmless to you.

173

After I plant it, the matter of you changing the mission without authority,

174

City Master won’t investigate it anymore.

175

And the second thing?

176

Not until you agree to the first matter,

177

can I tell you about the second matter.

178

If I don't agree?

179

Then I will just have to kneel here until you agree.

180

Miss Yue Ying

181

Gong Zi has been poisoned. He wants to see you.

182

How's he doing right now?

183

He’s all right. It’s only a new poison that can be easily dissolved.

184

It’s the old illness that’s difficult to heal.

185

Gong Zi

186

I’ve been found out.

187

Wan Mei, you've finally come.

188

Gong Zi

189

I heard from Yue Ying that you've been poisoned.

190

It’s not important.

191

The poison has already been dissolved.

192

Drink a cup with me.

193

Gong Zi,

194

you must be joking.

195

The poison has a cold qi.

196

Drinking alcohol can warm up a person.

197

But what’s most important is

198

I want to drink.

199

Drink one cup for me.

200

This is accepting silently.

201

Gong Zi

202

There’s no cup.

203

Tell me then.

204

For this Nu’erhong wine,

205

what kind of cup should be used?

206

Tian Mu cup.

207

You’re extremely right.

208

As expected, my Guihua City

209

hasn’t groomed you in vain.

210

Today is my birthday.

211

You...won’t give me a toast?

212

I wish that your dreams will come true and your future will be good and peaceful.

213

My dreams come true

214

and a peaceful and good future?

215

Do you think

216

my murderous spirit is too much?

217

No

218

I only think that you’re too tired.

219

My mother...has never celebrated my birthday.

220

She thinks that instead of eating a bowl of longevity noodles (birthday noodles)

221

or accepting some birthday wishes,

222

it’s much better to read some books and study sword-play more.

223

I even thought the wealthy has a sweet life.

224

When they celebrate a birthday, they’ll open presents from morning to night.

225

There were presents. There were presents.

226

Every year, my mother would give me a book,

227

Internally Achieving the Heart Method, or the gu poison technique.

228

She never asked me

229

to complete the training within a year. I was stupid

230

and risked my life to train.

231

I risked my life to train.

232

It’s as if in the coming year,

233

there will still be new presents.

234

Afterwards, my training produced a heart disease.

235

That doctor told me, "If you

236

don’t practice martial arts anymore, repair the body, and cultivate the mind,

237

you might even live until you’re thirty or forty years old”.

238

Pour the wine.

239

Gong Zi, you shouldn't drink anymore.

240

My capacity for liquor is very weak.

241

If I planned to get thoroughly drunk, it would be very easy.

242

It doesn’t matter if it’s good or not.

243

Fill it up.

244

Let go of me! Let me go!

245

A person must be clear-headed

246

and have self-control for life. It’s really very tiring.

247

Impertinent!

248

Get out.

249

Get out!

250

Gong Zi, you're drunk.

251

I am drunk.

252

but you aren't able to see things with a sober mind either.

253

Guihua City is a place without justice. (lit. all black, no daylight)

254

You

255

who do you want to remain chaste for?

256

I’m slow-witted. I’m defending only for myself.

257

I’m drunk today.

258

Leave.

259

Come again tomorrow.

260

Yes.

261

Why are you still here?

262

I haven't received your answer yet.

263

I haven't given it enough thought yet.

264

You don’t need to rush. Just think about it slowly.

Yes.

305

Pass my command down!

306

Sect Leader Lan, Lan Ruo, died a martyr for my Blood Lotus Sect.

307

The entire sect will mourn for three months.

308

The lights will not be extinguished for seven days

309

in order to console the spirit of my Sect Leader Lan in Heaven.

310

Yes.

311

All of you may go.

312

My disciple, I'm here to see you.

313

Do you know...how much hope I’ve placed on you?

314

Lan Ruo, don’t worry.

315

I won't let you die in vain!

316

I will send a letter to the capital at once to dispatch the Imperial Guards.

317

I will annihilate Guihua City.

318

Ruan Niang, Grand Tutor just sent a secret message.

319

Pu Qing, go to the secret case next to my bed.

320

The Grand Tutor’s command badge to dispatch the Danei Imperial Guards is inside there.

321

Yes.

322

[Command]

323

Ruan Niang, what did Grand Tutor say?

324

Today is my big day. Grand Tutor ordered

325

me to lead the Imperial Guards tonight to annihilate Guihua City.

326

- Tonight?

- Yes. Going to Guihua City isn’t more than a hundred li.

327

Tonight, we’ll rush all night over there to catch them unprepared and kill them.

328

Understood.

329

Do you recognize Cha Luo?

330

-I know.

-Let everyone know that she will be mine.

331

No one can touch her.

332

I’ll go and prepare this right away.

333

Father

334

Mother

335

Little brother

336

I've been waiting for this day.

337

All of you don’t worry.

338

I’ll definitely kill Cha Luo.

339

I’ll let her taste the suffering a hundredfold

340

in order to comfort all the deceased souls.

341

What kind of medicine is this? It's so stink.

342

Yue Ying of Tingzhu Courtyard buried it behind the bamboo forest just a moment ago.

343

The medicinal herb of Tingzhu Courtyard is usually taken by the Prince’s mansion.

344

But they’ve never concocted them in Guihua City.

345

That’s right. I’ve asked Elder Gao.

346

This medicine was actually taken from Suiguzi Pavilion. Eleven herbs were taken in total.

347

From its appearance, it’s a prescription to support the qi.

348

But from a certain point of view, the dregs of a concoction only use six herbs.

349

White arsenic was even added while it’s cooking.

350

This. Does Yue Ying want to poison her Master to death?

351

Using a trace of white arsenic in the medicine

352

explains that the heart blood of the person taking the medicine isn’t good. That person will die.

353

But...can this be a bait or not?

354

We almost lost Liu Guang last time.

355

I saw that Yue Ying was acting sneaky. It doesn’t seem like a bait.

356

Since he wants to die, then I'll wait for his death.

357

Anyway, I’m not in a hurry either.

358

What are you laughing at?

359

If you can wait, you’re not our City Master.

360

The assassins and the shadows of the Earthly Assassin Courtyard have the lowest martial arts skills.

361

In a moment, lead a squadron to get rid of them first.

362

Commander Li, you lead the people from here to go in and surround the Heavenly Assassin Courtyard and Chuixing Tower.

363

Wait for me to come and then we’ll exterminate together.

364

Yes.

365

Miss.

366

Why are you here?

367

Is your Master Mei here?

368

She's at Tingzhu Courtyard.

369

Tingzhu Courtyard?

370

It’s indeed timely. In a moment, change clothes.

371

Once I dispose of the Earthly Assassins, blend in with the Imperial Guards and go with me to raid Chuixing Tower.

372

- The Imperial Guards?

- Yes.

373

Tonight, we'll get our revenge.

374

But that year when the Xie family was raided, it wasn’t these people from the Earthly Assassin Courtyard!

375

I accepted the orders from Grand Tutor. If I only capture Cha Luo,

376

- I wouldn’t know how to explain to Grand Tutor.

- They are innocent!

377

My entire Xie family was innocent, too!

378

We've waited for so many years, and now the day has finally arrived.

379

I absolutely can’t helplessly watch an opportunity slip away like this.
