San…San-lang...!

Don't worry.

Wait! San-lang, don't you move!

Don't be afraid.

No!!

Don't worry. Excuse me for a moment.

San-lang!!!

Heaven Official's Blessing

Episode Nine

I have questions for you. You are not allowed to go down!

Then you will just have to come down with me!

That bitch again.

Ruoye!

Oh no!

San-lang?

Is that you, San-lang?

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

As long as you are okay.

Thank you. You can put me down now.

No, don't get down.

Why?

It's dirty.

My brothers, what happened to you?!

Who killed you?

Who?!

He doesn't have breath or a heart beat.

Give back my brothers!

I want you dead!

San-lang, watch out!

Just ignore him.

San-lang, why don't you put me down?

It's fine. You don't need to worry.

You can't just carry me like this always.

Why not?

Hold on tight.

Killing my brothers is unforgivable!!

San-lang, these down here, were they all killed by you?

Yes.

San-lang, when you see a pit like this again, don't jump down hastily.

I couldn't even stop you.

I truly didn't know what to do.

Don't you have anything else to ask me?

What else do you want me to ask you?

For example, whether I am human.

Whether you are human... I don't think it's necessary for me to know.

Oh? Why?

To be friends with someone, what matters is only whether we get along well or not, and not our status.

If I like you, I would still like you even if you are a beggar.

If I dislike you, I would still dislike you even if you are the Emperor.

It's the simple truth.

That's why, there is no need to ask.

You have a very good point.

San-lang, watch out!

Ruoye!

You...

You guys... two against one...!

Despicable!

You have no chance of winning even if it's one on one.

You are just lackeys to that bitch who deserves to die miserably.

San-lang, don't kill him yet.

If we want to get out of here, we need to ask him how.

San-lang, why don't you put me down first.

Hold on.

Thank you very much.

I wonder how the others are.

Will they also be thrown down here by that ghost in black-robe?

Watch out.

I told you, it's quite dirty down on the floor.

You work for that bitch.

The thousands of wronged souls of Banyue Kingdom will not let you get away!

General Ke Mo, who are you talking about?

Who else could it be other than the demonic cultivator?!

The Goushi* of Banyue?

*T/N – a role analogous to that of a state advisor

Isn't your allegiance with her?

Ptooey!

I, Ke Mo, will never pledge my allegiance to her again!

I will never forgive her for what she did!

But General...

You killed my brothers. I won't answer any more of your questions!

Come on, let's get on with this fight!

I killed them, he didn't.

You can first answer his questions, then fight me.

You are all that bitch's henchmen! You are all the same!!

General Ke Mo, you have misunderstood.

We came here to dispose of the Goushi of Banyue. How would be become her henchmen?

If you are not here to obey her orders, then why did you kill my brothers?

You threw us down here, we had to defend ourselves, didn't we?

Nonsense!

You jumped down yourselves!

Fine.

Since we are all stuck here now, let us have a truce.

You and the Goushi of Banyue... what really happened between you two?

General Ke Mo.

For the sake of your men, you'd better answer the questions truthfully.

You already killed them. You can't threaten me with this again.

Hmph. But the bodies are still here.

What do you plan to do?

That all depends on you.

The people of Banyue Kingdom believe that the state of their body at death dictates the state of their body in the next life.

Would you want them to be reborn in perfect shape? Or else...

You... you...!

Don't worry.

Don't touch their bodies.

They were all valiant soldiers.

They had been trapped in this pit for years. Such misfortune.

Now that they are finally free,

they must not suffer any further humiliation.

Are you really here to kill the Banyue [Guoshi].

Mn. I'm absolutely not lying.

Little is known by the outsiders about the Goushi of Banyue.

Only you have had any dealings with her. Please tell us more about her.

She hates the Banyue Kingdom.

Huh? But isn't she also a citizen of Banyue Kingdom.

Yes.

But not quite.

That demonic cultivator is a mixed-blood.

Her mother was born in the Banyue Kingdom, but her father was a Yong An bastard.

That bastard could not endure the harsh life at the border.

He abandoned his wife and daughter and went back to Yong An.

That pitiful Banyue woman died of depression and heartbreak.

[She] left behind her six-year-old daughter with no one to look after her.

That mixed-blood girl is a demonic cultivator.

Our Banyue people base our beauty standard on having a strong constitution.

But her blood is not pure.

She was born scrawny and was often bullied.

Her temperament became stranger and stranger.

Later, when unrest broke out at the border, many people died.

That mixed-blood also disappeared.

When she returned, she had mastered the sorcery of Yong An.

She took up a position at the Banyue Royal Palace.

Your Majesty, this mage is a demonic cultivator! She absolutely cannot be trusted!

Demonic cultivator? How so?

The scorpion-tailed snakes that she controls reek of wickedness.

If she were to use them against us one day, we wouldn't even have time to get the antidotes!

That's so true!

She is definitely a demonic cultivator!

That's right.

Moreover, in her body flows the blood of the Yong An bastards. She is a bastard!

She is the devil sent by the vicious scorpion-tailed snakes to destroy Banyue Kingdom!

Mage, do you have anything to say for yourself?

Your Majesty, she is not denying it!

Hang her!

Yes, hang her!

Silence!

Ke Mo, what do you think?

I took pity on her then, so I begged His Majesty for mercy.

You can follow me from now on.

My brothers, well done! We have finally wiped out these desert bandits!

After we report back, everyone will get their fair share of rewards.

Good! Great! Fantastic!

What's going on?

What is this?

General!

This is bad!

Why are you so flustered?

General, the desert storm is here!

This sandy cave does not have any structural support and is about to collapse soon!

– What? – How can this be?

Come! Follow me! Quick, hurry up!

Let's go! Quickly!

Hurry up!

Let's go! Quick!

Under that dire circumstance, there was no way for those who were buried to survive.

I had no choice but to bring the living ones out of there first.

Let's go.

Take our fallen brothers home. Don't leave anyone behind!

Yes, sir!

General, quick, look over there!

General!

It's the General!

Everyone, wake up! We are saved!

General! General! It's the General!

She actually dug a tunnel to shelter the wounded soldiers.

Afterwards, she even dug out the bodies of the deceased.

She did all this by herself, alone.

At this point, I didn't think she would harm the Banyue Kingdom.

So I vouched for her and refuted all the objections.

She was very reliable and capable.

Modest and restrained.

So I recommended her all the way to the position of Guoshi.

Guoshi... where is the Guoshi?!

Reporting to the General.

The Guoshi disappeared as soon as the battle started!

Why? What's going on?

Report!

General, the Guoshi opened the city gate!

What did you say?!

Why...?!

I trusted her so much. Why did she have to do this?!

This demonic cultivator is a traitor. She deserved to be hung on top of the Sinners Pit!

General Ke Mo, please calm down!

Shh.
