The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Legend of the Scarlet Shadow
Episode 17
Since you really are getting ready to leave, then I should come to see you out.
Timing & Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers @ Viki
But you must remember,
Miss Fu'er is indeed the Mysterious Lady of the Azure Blue Dragon.
I think this kind of chance, heaven won't give it to you again.
Chariot Mansion?
It's here, it's here!
I wonder, at such a place,
how can our Vermilion Bird Chariot Mansion be there?
[Forget Worries Pavilion]
As long as you can tell me,
I will definitely reward all of you!
You haven't told me where the word is, don't be so anxious!
Master, you are making it hard for us.
We are merely comfort women, how will we know words?
-Right!-If you want words,
maybe Miss Hong Ling will have them.
Her waist has some strange wrinkles, she's always trying to be secretive.
I don't even know how she covers it when she serves customers!
Okay, okay! Stop laughing.
Call Hong Ling here. I want to see her!
Master, you sure know how to joke.
Hong Ling is our Forget Worries Pavilion's most famous courtesan.
People who want to see her, are queuing from here to the town entrance!
How can you just see her like that?
Then you say, how much must I pay
to be able to see Hong Ling?
Miss Hong Ling cannot be seen just by payment.
Master, this has to do with fate.
What? You open your doors and do business, but you talk about fate?
Master, just drink your wine.
Miss Hong Ling will appear in awhile.
Yes, just drink!
Let go! Why are you dragging me?
Why can't I go? I'm going to find the Chariot Mansion!
That kind of chaotic place,
is it the kind of place a girl like you should go to?
Chaotic? Then why were you there just now?
Don't tell me you also want to take a look?
I'm worried about Hong Tai.
I'm also worried about Hong Tai!
But, your concern...
What's wrong with my concern?
What do you want to say?
Hong Tai has been with you for so many years,
yet you had no idea if he had a person he liked.
I just don't understand,
what are you worried about?
Do you think I am like you?
Always talking about useless things everyday.
When guys are together we have a lot of important things to talk about.
Yes, yes, yes,
you great men only talk about great things.
I'm just a little girl.
So a little girl like me
can't talk with a great man like you!
Quick, quick, quick, hurry and tell me!
-Tell us!-Say-Say what?
Only you went in yourself,
we are so curious. Tell us!
-Quickly say!-I... I... after going in...
Anyway, there were just a lot of ladies!
How- How many ladies?
Which one is the prettiest?
It must be the one in black! Don't you think she is the prettiest?
-Is... What? -No way!
It is definitely the one in yellow, she is unique and has a mature aura.
It is that one!
The woman you are talking about, can be your mom!
You have tainted my Yellow Princess!
The one you like is the old lady!
You little spoilt brat you only know how to find your mom! What Yellow Princess are you talking about?
The little one you like-
The two of you!
Were you peeking at me?
-No.-You saw it all and you are still asking me?
Uncle! Don't go.
We still have important things we haven't asked.
Right, important things.
We're talking about important things now then.
They said there is one more lady called Hong Ling.
Hong Ling?
Why didn't you stay there for the night?
Right!
Other ladies wanted you to stay,
why didn't you stay?
If you had stayed wouldn't you be able to see that-
Enough!
Both were not bad!
You- I-
Stand there.
I'm just a little girl.
I have nothing good to say to a Master like you.
Why is it every time we cannot speak properly?
Must you always oppose me?
Who is opposing you now?
You were the one who dragged me here, okay.
If not, I would still be worrying about Big Brother Hong Tai's important life event!
Aren't you opposing me now?
You are also being sharp-tongued.
Can we speak properly?
What is there to say?
Seriously,
calmly, let's talk.
Then say it properly.
I said before,
don't let me see you again.
I know.
But my purpose for coming now, is because I have something of extreme importance to discuss with you.
Fine.
Speak.
Let's talk somewhere else.
Lord, please follow me back to Green Hills.
Now the King's new order has caused Green Hills to ally with Dong Ling and open war with Jiu Li.
It will definitely put Green Hills in grave danger!
I was asked by some of the ministers in court
to invite you back to Green Hills to find a conclusion!
Why?
You aren't killing me?
I never wanted to kill you.
Now, there is a secret movement in the Green Hills Court.
On the surface it looks like
the palace's officials don't dare oppose,
but privately, there are many alliances.
From what I know,
they are secretly planning to get rid of the current King.
I'm just afraid that at that time, Green Hills won't be defeated by outside parties,
but torn apart by inner instability!
The things you are saying
have nothing to do with me.
You are the Prince Yu of Green Hills.
If you were to go back to orchestrate a conclusion,
it can definitely prevent the Green Hills Court from being divided!
And it can prevent some treacherous villains to defer their plan.
I'm a person with bad luck,
everyone wants to avoid me.
Who do you think I can convince and lead?
My father has secretly communicated with the Royal Concubine's family, her old clan and the tribe members.
Chi Yu, they are all people who will support you.
-So please, follow me home. -Maternal family?
The old clan?
Tribe people?
Ah Zhi, haven't you forgotten?
That time when my mother was killed by the King of Green Hills,
I was chased by assasins from all directions
who were the ones who cut off all ties with me?
Everyone wanted to put me down.
These words did not come from other people
but came exactly from my maternal relatives.
First, it was to help him kill me,
afraid that I would kill my father and take the throne.
Now you want me to help kill him, and change the court and create a new dynasty?
Ah Zhi, your logic,
why don't I understand it?
Chi Yu, times have changed.
Today, the King no longer cares about the people.
This is the best chance for you to come home.
Fine.
So now you tell me, what are the terms?
Once you've ascended the throne, you must not go after the past.
I already knew
there was no way such a good thing would land on me.
Using the excuse of needing a new king,
you just need a suitable tool, an obedient puppet.
Who knows when you will put on the hat of the Calamity Star who killed his dad on me again.
Today, you use me; then next, you use him.
Isn't this what you guys are good at?
Why then would I go back?
Chi Yu,
I can understand your disappointment in the King and in us,
but now is not the same as it was in the past.
The Green Hill now has both internal and external problems.
If Green Hill really turns chaotic,
then the ones who will suffer are the innocent citizens.
Can you really endure to see the citizens of Green Hill suffer?
That's why, please you must forget of our previous conflicts
and go back with me.
Since I left Green Hill,
anything about it is no longer related to me.
What is really innocent?
Who are really, truly innocent?
Don't say it anymore.
I will never go back.
Chi Yu,
the fate of Green Hill all depends on you now.
I beg you to come back with me.
Don't say anymore.
Go back already.
Ah Zhi,
please allow us to discuss it first.
Chi Yu,
I hope that you still remember that you are a Green Hill citizen.
I am not begging you today as Ah Zhi,
but as a citizen of Green Hill.
- Young Master-- You don't need to persuade me.
Young Master, even if you don't want to listen,
I will still say it.
Ever since, the one who wanted to kill us was the King.
The ones who betrayed us were the Green Hill nobility.
It has nothing to do with the common civilians.
Young Master,
do you really just want to watch as those civilians get dragged into the fire of war?
Let what was once our home get destroyed?
Home?
Since my mother died,
that place was not my home anymore.
They were the ones who left me first
and chased me out of there.
For so many years how was I able to live those days of escaping?
Hong Tai, have you already forgotten it?
I haven't forgotten.
That's why, I'm begging Young Master to go back with me.
For so many years, we wandered outside.
But whatever happens,
I will always remember that I am a Green Hill citizen.
And Young Master, you are true royalty, Prince Yu.
That is our roots. That is our base.
But if Green Hill gets destroyed,
then we would really become a rootless duckweed.
When that time comes, where should we go then?
Young Master,
I'll bravely say some words.
All of Green Hill was yours to begin with.
I have always been waiting for this chance.
I have always been thinking on how to send you back to Green Hill
and retrieve everything that belonged to you.
This chance is now here!
You've always thought that way?
I have always hoped that there would be a day
that Young Master could go back to Green Hill and ascend the throne.
I know that if the Queen were still alive,
she would definitely be thinking the same, too.
Hong Tai,
regarding that identity, that position,
I hated it very much.
I thought you knew that.
I know it in my heart.
But Young Master, those are rightfully yours.
For so many years, you've suffered a lot. We should take them back.
Young Master,
your status was already destined since the time you were born.
You don't need to say anything anymore.
I will never go back.
Young Master,
after you and Miss Su Mo call out the Vermilion bird,
where do you plan to go then?
Hong Tai
hopes that Young Master can have a permanent settlement.
I don't wish for Young Master to wander around for a lifetime.
You plan to go back to Green Hill?
Young Master doesn't want to go back to Green Hill,
then I'll go back.
I'll go back first to check the situation.
I'm not allowing you to go back.
Whether it's true or not, someone must go back first.
Young Master,
in the days that I'm gone,
you must always be careful in everything that you do.
Hong Tai!
I said I'm not allowing you to go back.
Did you hear that?
Timing & Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers @ Viki
Hong Tai!
If today you leave,
then don't ever come back anymore.
Brother Hong Tai!
Miss Su Mo.
Brother Hong Tai, are you really leaving?
There are some things that I must do.
That's why I can't not leave.
Then what about Chi Yu?
This time, I must go.
This jade pendant was given by my father to us
when Young Master and I left Green Hill.
This was originally a complete psychic jade.
Afterwards, it was divided into two pieces.
They are connected and can communicate with each other.
Regardless of where you go,
they will never separate.
Father gave this to me
because he wished that I would accompany and protect Young Master til death.
It was also from that time on
that I gave my life to Young Master.
That's why between us,
other than a master-servant relationship,
we are connected beyond than just being a family.
Too bad that I'm not skilled.
For so many years,
we continued to live as wanderers.
But I'm still older than him by some years, so I must think of his future.
Now that Green Hill is in trouble, I'm going there now
to help Young Master get rid of obstacles for his return.
Young Master
is Green Hill's prince.
He has suffered a lot since he was young.
Now, it's already time to harvest what we sowed.
Green Hill's kingship...this royal throne...he deserves to have it.
The fight for the royal throne is full of danger. Chi Yu doesn't want you to go
definitely because he doesn't want you to be in danger.
I have been a wanderer half of my life.
What situation have I not seen?
Danger... doesn't really bother me.
Miss Su Mo,
I am not a person who is greedy for wealth and fame.
You must know that Green Hill is our home.
There will come a time that Young Master will need to come home.
And only by becoming Green Hill's King
can he go back proudly.
In the past,
I had never thought of removing this jade pendant.
Miss Su Mo, please accept this.
This...
This jade pendant and that of Young Master's are connected with each other.
Regardless of what situation, they can find each other.
Once I'm gone,
I hope that Miss can take care of Young Master for me.
Please.
I don't want to go. I don't like going.
I don't want to. I don't want to go.
Hurry and go!
I don't want to. I'm not going.
From now on, you guys must not return to Green Hill anymore.
You must protect Young Master Chi Yu for me, on your father's behalf.
Do you understand?
Whether alive or dead, you must forever accompany Young Master Chi Yu.
Hurry! Don't let them escape! Go!
Regardless of what you hear or see,
- you two must hide well here.- Some of you guys, go there to look.
Later, someone will take you two to escape.
- Dad, then how about you?- Come with me.
- I'm gonna do my duty.- That side. Hurry!
- Young Master Chi Yu, forgive me for I won't be able to continue protecting you anymore.- Search well!
This jade pendant
is not shackles.
If one day you want to leave already
to live your own life, then just take it off.
You don't need to be like your father
who gave up everything for this duty.
[Jiu Li Military Camp]
Lord Jin, the General is already at the main tent waiting for you.
What's the movement of the Green Hill people?
At the north of Bamboo Mountain, there are already 50,000 troops
in formation showing pressure.
Where are the reinforcements?
The left troops are already fast on their way here.
Is there any news from our spies?
The spy sent a message via an eagle and said that Green Hill has been enlisting soldiers throughout the country.
All males above 12 years old were enlisted.
Lord Jin, looks like this will be a big battle.
Okay.
General, Young Master is back.
Okay.
Greetings, Father!
Jin'er, you're back just in time.
Hurry and tell me the information you got.
Dad,
on our search for the Vermilion Bird Star Mansion,
the greatest obstacle we encountered came from Dong Ling.
It's Dong Ling's General Baili Han.
He has already obtained the help of the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady.
They are also looking for the other star mansions.
They plan to call out the Azure Dragon Mythological Beast.
Dad,
Green Hill has always been neutral.
For it to join forces with Dong Ling, there must be a reason.
I think that this is most likely Baili Han's scheme.
He wants to use the war to divide my attention.
To make us less prepared in calling out the Vermilion Bird Mythological Beast.
You're saying that this Baili Han and the matter with Green Hill (are connected).
How sure are you?
Actually, I also don't have much evidence.
But based on my understanding of Baili Han,
for him to call out the Azure Dragon,
he will definitely do anything.
But there's one thing I can't understand.
If he only wants to divide my attention,
he won't need to do this much.
That's why I feel that he has some other motive here.
And this motive is the crucial point that can end this war.
If we can get hold of Baili Han's motive,
maybe...we can win without going into war.
Right. That's why we must investigate thoroughly,
not only Green Hill, but also Dong Ling.
Xiao Yi!
General.
Inform our spies on the front line to take note of the movement of Dong Ling's people at Green Hill.
Thoroughly check their background.
You must be quick and thorough.
I understand.
Jin'er, we'll be going all out this time.
Don't worry. I will definitely not disappoint Dad.
How come you guys didn't even called him to eat?
Me and Ah Su have already called him, but it really won't work.
Hey, but if you go, it will surely be different.
If I go?
Hey! Chi Yu!
Chi Yu, where are you going?
I'm going to Forget Worries Pavilion.
He...said he'll be going where?
Forget Worries Pavilion!
The King is here!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Rise.
Jin'er, you're back.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's the situation with the Vermilion Bird?
Responding to Your Majesty,
I've already been to the North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island
and confirmed it with Daoist Lu Ya.
The Vermilion Bird Mysterious Lady is no doubt Peach Hollow Blossom's Miss Su Mo.
Since that girl is indeed the Vermilion Bird Mysterious Lady,
how come there were nonstop strange apparitions during the Sacrificial Ceremony?
Responding to Your Majesty.
I feel that there was really something fishy with that.
First, Miss Su Mo
traveled from Peach Blossom Hollow to Dong Ling
then lastly to Jiu Li.
Being tired from travel can be one of the reasons.
Second, Miss Su Mo was born to a lowly status.
She's just starting to be a Mysterious Lady. She doesn't know anything yet about how to control and use her spiritual energy.
So during the ceremony,
she might have gotten nervous and caused her to lose control of her power. These are all possible.
Third,
this is also the one I am most suspicious of and is also the most important reason.
I heard that High Priest is missing.
I've already been to High Priest's mansion to investigate.
I discovered that it's already deserted inside.
After the ceremony,
I've also been searching for the whereabouts of High Priest,
but this person seemed like he evaporated from the human world.
Your Majesty, I am bravely deducing
that the High Priest's disappearance and the failure of the Sacrificial Ceremony
are closely related.
That time the Heavens were showing ominous signs.
Jiu LI has been having nonstop calamities since.
The Clan Count that heads the ceremonies must be everywhere at once.
That's why I gave the High Priest a lot of power.
Other than the Sacrificial Ceremony,
it also includes ancestral laws, chief minister, palace uncle.
Thinking back on the day of the Sacrificial Ceremony,
it seems that all the sub-positions were all under High Priest.
To do something without anyone knowing,
honestly, no one can stop him.
Jin'er,
I gave High Priest much importance then because it was called for by the situation then.
You won't distance yourself from me just because of this, right?
- I wouldn't dare to.- I wouldn't dare to.
Rise...
If we called out the Vermilion Bird now,
can it help our army?
Now? When I left,
we'd already found the three mansions Star, Well, and Willow.
But there are still the three mansions Chariot, Wings, and Extended Net that we haven't found yet.
Hence, I feel that the time is not yet right.
Then when can we complete the star mansions?
I will definitely do my best.
The Green Hill people are already placing troops at our border.
Soon, they may attack with Dong Ling.
Jiu Li right now is being attacked at both sides.
If we cannot rely on the Vermilion Bird's power now,
then what's the use of calling it out?
Your Majesty, based on my stupid observation,
Green Hill and Dong Ling are attacking together
is all because of Dong Ling's General Baili Han.
It's a treacherous scheme he devised for him to be able to call out the Azure Dragon mythological beast.
Your Majesty must not fall into his trap.
We want to call upon the Vermilion Bird Mythological Beast
so as to counter the great drought and sky fire.
It's for Jiu Li's long term's peace.
If we lose the war now,
how can there be a long term peace?
We will make this war our priority.
We will definitely not allow the treacherous scheme of the Dong Ling and Green Hill people succeed.
General, everything that the Shangguan Family has done for Jiu Li,
I know it very well.
What will happen to Jiu Li in the future,
will depend on all of us protecting it.
Anyone less will not work.
Shangguan Bo Yu, Shangguan Jin...
I'm here.
I want to call out the mythological beast.
I also want to win this war.
I am not entrusting these responsibilities to you both.
You guys must reasonably deploy the troops.
Differentiate clearly what's important from not important, what's urgent from not so urgent.
Don't disappoint me.
Yes!
Who are you? How dare you be unruly?!
The Green Hill people are already tired from fighting. We've defeated them without doing anything.
This...
Look at you. Wearing like that.
Why did you come to the military camp?
Isn't it because I miss you, Father? That's why I traveled thousand of miles to get here.
Miss me? I think that's not true.
Royal Father, you're mocking me again.
Jiu Liu's war is nearing. Royal Father personally went to the front line.
The citizens are all praising that Jiu Li
has a king that loves his citizens like his own children.
Say, can I not miss you?
Hey, don't act coquettishly here.
That's right. Princess is a royal blood nobility.
It's indeed not suitable for you to come to a dangerous place like here.
Your Majesty,
how about if I send someone that I can trust to accompany and protect the Princess on her way back.
Sending me back? I just arrived, Royal Father.
If we send her back, she will just escape and come back here.
Shangguan Jin, how about you be the Princess' personal bodyguard.
Protect the Princess. How about that?
Your Majesty, there's a lot of war matters on the front line.
I'm afraid that I might not be able to take good care of the Princess.
Brother Shangguan, I won't cause you trouble.
I'll follow you wherever you go.
I will definitely not disappear from your sight. How about that?
Enough. It's settled then.
Right now, I'm leaving both the Princess and war matters
- in your hands.- Yes.
Your Majesty, please.
Brother Shangguan, I don't need you to play with me. I'll just stay by your side.
I guarantee that I will definitely...not cause you troubles.
Take care. Goodbye.
Yo...Young Master, you're here. Please come in.
Come inside, Young Master.
He actually went into the Forget Worries Pavilion.
What are you laughing at? Let me hear it.
Ah Su said that since Hong Tai is gone,
Chi Yu's mood is very bad right now.
That's why he went into the Forger Worries Pavilion to forget his worries and sadness.
Sadness your head! He's just here to look for the whereabouts of the Chariot Mansion.
And also, Brother Hong Tai has left already. He's just replacing Hong Tai in coming here.
Yes...he's a good guy.
He's just here to get information.
What are you guys saying again?
Ah Su said that Chi Yu seems to know this place well.
This mustn't be his first time here.
But for a man like him, it's quite normal.
Normal your head!
It's not me who said it. It's Ah Su who said it.
But don't you guys feel that he's kind of weird.
Going into a brothel is weird already?
I don't mean it that way. I'm saying that
Brother Hong Tai has already left but he never even mentioned him.
It's as if there's no Brother Hong Tai that existed.
Geez, a woman is really a woman.
What do you mean?
When guys get sad, they put it in their hearts,
not hanging it on their mouth or on their face. (Not talking or showing it)
He may have been too hurt
that's why he went into the Forget Worries Pavilion.
You know nothing!
Have you prepared my horse already? I'm going to the front line to inspect.
It's already prepared.
I'm going, too.
Princess, knives and swords don't have eyes.
The front line is not some fun place.
I am a country's princess. How can I not know what a front line is?
My Royal Father is here to encourage the troops of the three brigades.
Now that the Princess is also here, it can boost their morale more.
Just stay here and wait for me.
I will let Xiao Yi take care of you. I'll be back before dark.
Don't go anywhere.
Have you forgotten what you promised my Royal Dad?
He entrusted me to you.
Shangguan Jin, you don't know what's good for you!
I came all the way here and for whom?
Didn't I just want to be with you? to see you?
Princess, don't cry anymore.
What is that?
It's nothing.
- It's a shadow puppet. Let me see.- Hey, Princess.
Shangguan Jin, you're really an idiot who doesn't know anything.
Don't you really understand
that I'm willing to give you every precious thing.
But you don't even want to give me a shadow puppet.
This shadow puppet
was just left with me by someone for safe-keeping. I'm supposed to give it back in the future.
Hope Princess can understand and forgive me.
Fine then. I don't want other's things.
I forgive you already.
Then promise me. Once you return after winning this war,
go and ask for Royal Father to grant us marriage.
If you agree, I will go back to Jiu Li and wait for you.
Princess, you should stop being headstrong already.
I am not headstrong. I've thought about this for a long time already.
Do you agree or not?
I don't agree.
You dare refuse me?
Thank you for your Princess' love.
It's just that...forgive me but I cannot obey you.
Do you like someone else? I won't allow you to like someone else.
Shangguan Jin, let me tell you.
I'm going to see Royal Father now and let him grant us marriage now!
They really dance well.
Where did these ladies come from?
I've been here many times but I have never seen them.
This waist can really move.
Look at this.
Really good.
That's right. Right. I'm drooling just from watching them.
It's not a waste to come here, right?
Look at how that little waist moves.
This really opened my eyes.
Look at that waist. Look.
Everyone!
Tonight, our main courtesan Miss Hong Ling
will appear brightly.
Great!
Only the best young lad with looks and talent
can be allowed to kiss her.
Later, let's take a look at everyone's skills.
I want Hong Ling now. I don't care how much.
This Master is quite generous.
- Of course!- But, if you want to see Hong Ling,
it's not enough to only have money.
Then what else?
That's right, what else is needed? Say it...hurry and say it.
I've said it earlier.
Only the best young lad with looks and talent
can have a chance to kiss her.
And also, he must be someone that Hong Ling will like.
This is called destiny.
Did you hear that? She must like you first.
That's too troublesome. It's destiny.
Gentlemen, please keep calm.
Keep calm!
Everyone here wants to see Hong Ling.
Everyone please don't be anxious. All can have a chance.
Ladies, entertain them well.
- Let's go...- Don't go.
This cold-faced ghost...why isn't he back yet?
What are you getting anxious about?
I am indeed anxious. I just want to find the Chariot Mansion soon.
You are not saying what you really feel.
How about this, me and Ah Su
will endure it and enter that place to help you find the Chariot Mansion.
At the same time, we'll watch over Chi Yu.
You guys?
If the two of you enter the province of warmth and tenderness, will you guys still come out?
Then there's no other way. Just continue waiting for Chi Yu then.
That's right.
We don't know where this Chariot Mansion's mark is.
He has to look at all the ladies once.
We don't know how long he'll be spending there.
There's no other way already. I'll go.
You're going?
You are a lady. If you go in, then you will foil our plan
and you will also be kicked out.
Then you guys tell me what we should do.
This cold-faced ghost...he went inside for so long already and isn't back yet.
Maybe...
Good!
There's a fairy! Miss!
Hong Ling! Miss Hong Ling!
She's really beautiful. Just like a fairy.
Really beautiful. Miss Hong Ling!
Hurry and come over! Get lost.
- That one that fell from the sky, it's a fairy!- Yes...
So beautiful!
Great!
Look, it's Chi Yu.
Chi Yu!
Good!
You ladies danced well!
Good!
Thank you everyone for coming here today.
I especially prepared a skills competition for everyone.
Using one arrow,
put out the fire of the three candles in the chandelier in front.
You will then be considered the winner.
How is that possible? Are you playing us for fools?
Each try is worth one red gemstone.
Tonight, the person who can have dinner with me,
will definitely be rich
and have both good marital arts skills and intelligence.
If this customer doesn't have martial arts skills
and can't bear to spend his gemstones, then he can just observe from the sides.
Look at that cold-faced ghost, pretending to do official business but is just fulfilling his personal pleasure.
Only knows to drink flowery wine. What has he found out?
He is only drinking wine right now and not drinking flowery wine. (Flower wine denotes having a brothel girl accompany you while drinking wine)
Do you know anything?!
Let me!
Let me... Let me try it.
Look at his stance.
You can't do it. You can't.
All can't do it.
Among the customers here,
is there no one who has both integrity and skills?
Or maybe, someone here has great skills
but doesn't want to blow his cover.
Okay. Looks like tonight there's no young hero.
- Then I will --- Wait...let me.
Let me.
Miss Hong Ling, one gemstone one arrow, right?
I have so many gemstones so I can shoot many times.
This customer, you broke the rules.
A game also has its rules.
You are just a prostitute doing these elaborate games.
I have money so if I told you to serve me, you should serve me.
Forget Worries Pavilion is a place that gives importance to destiny.
For a customer to say those things, then I'm a little confused.
The other customers were willing to accept defeat,
but you can't?
Fine. One arrow then one arrow.
If I hit it then you must accompany me.
He hit it! He hit it!
I won! I won!
You are mine today! You are mine today!
