(The Legend of ShenLi)

(Episode 4)

What are you reading?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

I couldn't sleep, so I took a stroll in the yard

and picked up a piece of leaf

to put inside your book.

Where's the book?

- It's on the table. - Which book?

The book on the table.

Which book?

The book on the table.

- Let... - Which book on the table?

Let go...

You are so presumptuous!

Have...

Have I lied to you before?

It's that book on the table.

I'm going to sleep.

(Who is he?)

(If he is from the Spiritual Realm or the Immortal Realm)

(and wants to trick me as a mortal,)

(does he need to do so much)

(to the point of writing so many details of his past?)

(However, if he isn't,)

(why can he see the future, place formations, and collect souls?)

(However, there isn't any spiritual power in his body.)

(He is just an ordinary mortal.)

(What did a mortal do wrong)

(to live such a miserable life?)

(What kind of retribution is he suffering from?)

(Whatever.)

(I should treat him better)

(when I'm here.)

That scum.

I am the Young Master of Qingsheng City.

He is just an illegitimate son.

How dare he complain about me in front of Father.

He is rebelling!

He is obviously trying to steal my place as the future lord.

Who is the future lord of the city?

Me!

I...

Bin.

- Young Master. - Where's the Taoist?

Didn't you say he would come on his own?

Didn't you say he would come to us if we let him wait?

Where is he?

Then...

Do we keep him waiting longer?

I...

I'll die if we still keep him waiting.

I can't wait anymore.

I will go and meet him myself tomorrow.

Get lost!

Dough made using such strength.

I'm sure its texture will be very chewy.

Smells nice.

Cluck, can you help me?

Help me get the meat.

It's a little high.

I can't reach it.

You still have this ability?

Do you want it sliced?

Yes.

After you cook,

you can help me tidy up the kitchen

and clean it.

Do you know who you've been ordering around lately?

I don't know who you are.

How would I know who I've been ordering around?

- Cluck. - What do you want?

The...

Shreds...

You did well.

What's so surprising about that?

Lunch is almost ready.

Get ready to eat.

(There's indeed something wrong)

(with this place.)

(What's going on?)

(Did someone draw it on?)

(I am Lord Bi Cang but I blushed because of a mortal?)

Cluck,

time to eat.

I've told you many times.

My name is Shen Li.

- If you call me like I'm an animal again... - Shen Li.

Time to eat.

Your Highness, have you recovered?

Li,

train the soldiers.

Your Highness, time to fight.

Your Highness, it's time to depart.

Your Highness, let's fight.

Your Highness, it's time for your meeting.

Your Highness, it's time to go to the camp.

(There has never been a person who has used such a combination.)

(Combining Shen Li's name)

(with something so casual.)

What's wrong?

This is the first time

that someone relates my name with eating.

Isn't that

a normal

and casual thing to say?

This is our last piece of meat.

You need to compensate if you ruin it.

Enjoy.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Become my chef in the future.

It's my honor.

Eat. We have a guest to welcome later.

Who is it?

Go and buy meat when you're done.

Are you asking me to go to the market to buy meat

with this big chunk of gold?

Are you not afraid that the government officials will arrest me?

This won't do.

You are poor yet particular.

So many people are here

but I've only prepared one bowl.

How dare you treat Young Master Cheng Rui so rudely.

Since we are already here, treat him with respect.

Go and wait for me outside the house.

Yes. Leave.

It's difficult to meet you.

Meeting you, Young Master Cheng Rui,

is actually easier.

I heard you can see the future

and are very capable.

Today, I want you to tell my fortune.

- Who do you think you are? - I...

It seems like you don't really know me well.

I am the Young Master of Qingsheng City.

If you predict my future correctly,

I guarantee you a lavish life in the future.

Fame and fortune

sounds attractive indeed.

However, I'm not interested.

Know your place.

It'll be easy

for me

to flatten this residence today.

Young Master Cheng Rui, you spent so much effort to come here

because you want to know

when you can become the lord.

However, the current lord's life

is connected to the city's fate.

It's not that I don't want to tell you

but I really

don't know how to tell you.

Young Master Cheng Rui,

you said you wanted to flatten this place.

I don't think it's easy.

However, if you want to flatten this place by sitting on it,

I think it's quite possible.

I...

How dare you.

Young Master Cheng Rui!

Are you all right, Young Master Cheng Rui?

Get lost or die.

Go!

That's...

How dare you!

Do you know who I am?

I am the Young Master of Qingsheng City!

I can kill you if you come once.

I can still kill you if you come twice.

Understand?

Forgive us, Lady Warrior!

Forgive us, Lady Warrior!

Are you a fool?

You acted mysteriously in front of me

but you were bullied when someone visited today.

I'm not as great as you.

I'm also not as great as you imagined.

I am just a mortal.

I will still grow old, fall ill, and die in the end.

I can't leave

this earthly world.

(He is a mortal)

(who can be burned by hot water.)

(He knows the future)

(and seems like he is all-mighty)

(but he is still blood and flesh.)

(He can be easily crushed to death.)

(Where did he find the courage)

(to live so calmly?)

Did I make things worse

and cause you trouble

by doing what I did just now?

Yes and no.

After all, I'm the one

who started the trouble.

You just made it bigger.

What did you say to that man?

Let me summarize it.

It's that

he wants me to work for him.

I didn't allow it so he wanted to flatten this place.

I laughed and said he could only flatten the place by sitting on it.

He got angry because he thought I laughed at his body

so he hit me.

It seems like

it's a bad thing to talk about someone else's body.

(He is so nasty.)

This man

is stubborn and arrogant.

He also hopes

that his father and brother can die early.

If this man takes control of Qingsheng City,

there might no longer be peace.

Didn't you like fortune-telling

and predicting the future?

This is not fortune-telling.

This is about a city's fate.

Even if I want to do it,

I can't really predict anything.

However,

I understand his character now.

As for the future,

I can let it slowly progress in that direction.

Shen Li, please help me get some water.

I need to boil some medicine.

If I don't treat this,

my face might be ruined.

You are an expert when it comes to ordering people around.

Your bandage got wet.

Let me change it for you.

There's no need. It's not wet. It's all right.

A wet bandage will affect your wound.

Let me change it for you.

Change it.

Here. Take it.

Here you go.

You caught me again.

My head.

It hurts.

I burned my head and my head hurts as well.

It hurts so much.

Are you trying to fool me again by pretending to be weak?

It really hurts.

How can it hurt so much?

Keep suffering. I'm ignoring you.

Go and lie down. Let me do it.

How do I do this?

I should do it instead.

If I wasn't around today,

what would you do?

You couldn't take a beating

but you pretended to be almighty.

If you were not around,

I wouldn't be so brazen.

However, you were around.

You look more brazen than me.

You made me look casual.

Look at how mighty you are.

It makes people impressed.

You are very cool.

Am I wrong?

No one has praised me in that way.

That means

the other people

don't have the same taste as me.

It's so hot.

Shen Li, bring me the piece of cloth.

It's too hot. I can't hold it.

The medicine is done.

It's all right.

You are a woman after all.

Why do you act like a man?

Even a man

doesn't act like you.

I've made the burn ointment.

You need to use a little as well.

I called you a disciple of a certain immortal previously

and you used meat to anger me.

Today, they bullied you.

Why didn't I see you get angry?

Am I a pushover?

How do you know I wasn't angry?

However, dealing with these people

requires patience and time.

You?

Deal with him?

Isn't he the Young Master of Qingsheng City?

I don't think

it's possible for me.

However, I can try asking someone to do the dirty job for me.

Asking me to do the dirty job?

I can't trouble you for everything.

There are still other people I can use.

What do you plan to do?

There's no rush.

Let me tell you.

Dealing with people

is like drinking medicine.

It takes time.

I just want to ask you. Don't you feel annoyed?

Not really. I like to eat something sweet.

Is it because you are suffering in your life?

You know me, Cluck.

Shen Li!

What?

Go out with me

tomorrow.

Why should I do it just because you asked me?

Because I'm cute.

I'm the Young Master of Qingsheng City

and the future lord

but I actually got hit.

Not even my father beat me after I grew up.

Be gentle.

No.

I must get revenge.

Where is Fu Sheng?

Fu Sheng. Get me Fu Sheng!

- Yes. - Go!

Lower.

(Qingsheng City, Jinyue Residence)

Young Master Cheng Jin, report from the scout.

Young Master Cheng Rui went to a residence in the west

to find a wizard called Xing Yun.

Rumors on the streets

say that he can predict the future.

My brother

wants the position of lord until he is confused.

He even believed in the rumor on the streets.

The weird thing about it

is that Young Master Cheng Rui was chased out.

After he went back, he beat up his followers.

(Jinyue Residence)

Jinyue Residence.

The lord of Qingsheng City

has two sons.

However, he hasn't elected a young lord.

He has been missing his late wife

so he has been lenient

with his legitimate son.

However, Gu Cheng Rui has been arrogant and domineering since young.

He can't take on a responsibility.

Jinyue Residence

is the residence of Young Master Cheng Jin.

His personality and Gu Cheng Rui's are totally different.

Many officials in Qingsheng City

are advocating for Young Master Cheng Jin to become the lord.

A lot of grudges have been accumulated

between the two of them over the years.

If we want to deal with Gu Cheng Rui,

Young Master Cheng Jin will be the best choice.

You look indifferent

but you actually know everything.

I was indeed clueless before last night.

However, we must be prepared

if we want to deal with him.

Who is in front of Jinyue Residence?

I am Xing Yun, a Taoist. I want to see Young Master Cheng Jin.

Taoist?

How dare you.

You should know I hate

people like you who cheat

and confuse other people.

I see.

Young Master Cheng Jin, you can call me a strategist.

I, Strategist Xing Yun, have a strategy

to offer to you

that can help you succeed.

Why should I believe you?

Young Master Cheng Rui

wanted this strategy yesterday but failed.

If you are interested,

let's talk inside your residence.

(Qingsheng City Second Young Master, Gu Cheng Jin)

Yang Zheng, take both of them to the backyard.

Yes.

Both of you. This way, please.

Sick Man.

Xing Yun.

What's wrong?

What are you thinking about?

It's nothing.

I thought

I met an old friend of mine.

Forget it. It's not important.

I'll offer Young Master Cheng Jin a strategy later.

You should wait for me outside the house.

Sure.

I'm not supposed to get involved in Mortal Realm matters anyway.

However, if you can receive Gu Cheng Jin's protection in the future,

I can leave with peace of mind.

How heartless.

You are only thinking about leaving me.

No one can compare to you

when it comes to being heartless.

(Xiao He)

What are you doing?

Don't touch my lotus!

Your dress...

- Over there! Who are you? - It's...

Who is bullying Miss He?

No!

- I didn't. - She's forcing Miss He!

Quick, all of you!

- Protect Miss He! - Quick!

- Coming! - Don't come over!

- Quick! - Call for help!

- Coming! - Quick, save Miss He!

- Over here! - Ladies from the Mortal Realm care about reputation.

It's bad if the guards see you in this state.

- Coming! - Why don't I take you away from this place first?

- Hurry! - Where to?

- We have no choice but to go underground. - What?

Go underground.

Quick! Over here!

It's her!

Thief, how dare you rob Miss He!

- You've got some nerve! - Exactly!

- Let her go! - Let Miss He go!

- Let her go! - Hurry and let her go!

Exactly.

What's the noise about?

Her dress fell.

Ask your guards to turn away.

Leave.

Yes.

What's wrong?

My belt fell off.

I'll send you back now.

Let's go.

(Jinyue Residence)

You just can't stop for a brief moment.

Don't tell me

that you've fallen for her.

Are you crazy?

I'm just curious why Young Master Cheng Jin

is keeping a spirit.

Whatever, it's none of my business.

Why didn't you

use the opportunity to stay there though?

- You are... - Lord Shen.

Look. Young Master Cheng Jin is so much better.

He gave me so much money.

Look.

We can buy meat today.

(How can I leave?)

(Whatever.)

(Since we've spent so much time together,)

(I will protect him for a few more days.)

Wait for me!

Shi.

It has been three years.

(Ye Shi)

If you don't wake up,

I'll be old.

However,

it should be soon, right?

You will wake up soon.

Shi.

I'll visit you again tomorrow.

Gu Cheng Jin!

Gu Cheng Jin.

Quick, close the door.

Gu Cheng Jin.

Are you busy with work again?

Why are you still awake so late at night?

I can't sleep because I miss you.

Why don't I accompany you while you read?

I guarantee to be good and not trouble you.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Fine.

I feel most secure by your side.

Young Master.

Young Master Cheng Rui.

Jinyue Residence.

They are good at finding people.

After humiliating me,

there's nowhere to hide!

Young Master, they are very capable. Why don't we...

What?

Useless.

You are incapable but you want me to let them go?

I didn't say to let them go.

What do you want to say?

- Why don't we stop offending them? - I...

- I... Useless! Get lost! - I'll be leaving.

Thank you.

Get lost!

Fu Sheng.

Young Master Cheng Rui.

Why are you so angry?

Fu Sheng, you know nothing.

A pair of demons...

A pair of demons bullied me.

Do you know? They can use demonic skills.

The staff just flew over.

It went after me and hit my bottom.

I was hit until...

Young Master Cheng Rui, don't panic.

Those are just ordinary powers.

That's... That's ordinary?

I'm guessing that both of them are normal yet extraordinary people.

I'll get a few Taoists

to get rid of them for you later.

Sure. Great.

I want the two demons

to know their place.

They hit my bottom.

(I don't think I can wait until they ripen.)

(Xing Yun's cooking is delicious.)

(I'm sure the fruits born from the trees he planted)

(should be sweet as well.)

(I must leave in three days.)

(No matter what becomes of this place,)

(I can't stay any longer.)

(I'm sure it will only make things worse.)

(Gu Cheng Rui's threat can be avoided at Jinyue Residence.)

(But a mere mortal)

(cannot handle the threat of the Spiritual Realm.)

(Without the marriage agreement,)

(I wouldn't need to escape)

(and leave here so soon.)

(I can...)

(I can...)

Shen Li,

I've changed the formation of this place

to an extremely vicious one.

It is very powerful at night.

Don't come to the front courtyard for no reason.

If you want to leave,

tell me so I can accompany you.

Why did you change the formation?

I did it so that both of us

can sleep with peace of mind.
