[Episode 19]

Come!

You're coveting my wealth indeed.

You're seeking death!

Wait! Wait!

I have admired you for a long time .I

came today

to get to know you.

I was tempted by my obsession with you

that I sneaked in without permission.

Unexpectedly,

as soon as I entered,

I stumbled upon the gold.

Please spare me, Hall Mas ter.

-Hall

Master, spare me. -Please spare me.

-Hall Master, have mercy. -Please have mercy.

This room is hidden and was set up with mechanisms.

How did you sneak in here?

small tricks.

It's not worth mentioning.

You're the Hall Master of the Assassin Assembly Hall,

the top assassin in the Beast Realm.

Even if you give me the courage,

I wouldn't dare to plot against you.

I'm truly here

to get to know you.

Since we have met today,

why don't

I offer myself to you?

You'll have

a one-in-a-million beautiful wife

without spending a penny.

What do you think?

It spends money to have a wife.

Moreover, with your appearance,

I wouldn't even take a second glance.

So leave.

I'm a princess with a perfect appearance.

How dare you speak like that?

Scram!

What did I say earlier?

For this soul shard,

we've spent all our wealth and possessions.

It's at least a blessing in disguise

and we found the second soul shard.

Now that we've found him,

I have ways to make him fall in love w ith me.

Wasn't Fiery acted out

when he first met me?

Fiery merely carries mystic flame within his body.

Besides, he has a kind heart.

But you saw

what Heartless did

at

the Assassin Assembly Hall

. a good person.

How will you deal with him?

Heartless Shaodian,

where did you get

all these indecent desires?

Whose fault do you think this is?

You were the one

who triggered the desires of these three soul shards.

Heartless would do anything for wealth and possession.

Could it be...

(One dish costs 100 thousand spirit beads?)

Heartless Shaodian,

I never expected you who looks upright

to have learned how to be sneaky and deceptive.

(You took advantage)

(of the three deities first.)

(I'm only giving you)

(a taste)

of your own medicine and that's all.

Don't tell me making me return my winnings

had aroused your greed.

It's indeed my fault.

Heartless Shaodian,

I will never

play mahjong anymore.

Stop whining already.

Don't bring that up anymore.

Our priority

is to mak e Heartless

bow down under your feet.

As the saying goes,

a good man will eventually fall for a persistent woman.

As long as I persist,

the soul shard will fall in love with me

not once,

but twice,

and thrice.

Stop dreaming .

How is it a dream?

Hubby.

You again.

I'm sure you haven't had breakfast

since you're up this early.

So I brought you breakfast.

I'm not your hubby.

You

broke into my residence yesterday.

Today, you're addressing me as your hubby

.

I'll be honest.

When

I saw you for the first time,

I was captivated

by your handsome

and charming face.

It left a deep impression on me

that I can't forget.

If you don't mind,

you can be my hubby.

You're being ridiculous and unreasonable.

Don't lose heart.

Men are creatures

who say one thing and mean another.

Perhaps you didn't like

the soup dumplings last time.

Today, I have brought more options

for you to choose from.

There must be one that suits you.

If you're interested,

you can also

take me home

as one of these options.

Don't move.

I've almost finished drawing.

Rest assured.

We charge high fees

because

we focus only on the target

without any distractions...

Run!

Get out of here!

Don't let me see you again!

What do we do now?

We can't even get close to him.

Perhaps our approaches were not suitable.

Give me some time to think.

Heartless has

a lot of followers.

If we want

the chance to get close to him,

we must target

those around him first.

You

have

a point. .

Let's go.

Excuse me, mister.

Have you not eaten yet?

We brought you

the best stewed meatballs

of the Beast Realm.

Try it while it's still hot.

She knows

you're tired from your work.

you.

Come and try it.

Have a taste.

I understand your kind intention.

Assassin Assembly Hall has a rule

that we must hand in all gifts given to us by merchants.

If there's nothing else,

please leave now.

To be honest,

since I met Hero Heartless,

his gentle and refined appearance

has left a deep impression on me,

making me unable to forget

and constantly yearning for him.

If I could marry him,

my life would not be a waste.

Our Hall Master

is the top assassin in the Beast Realm.

Don't you know

how ruthless he is?

I advise you to give up

for the sake of the stewed meatball s.

Please do me a favor

and help me get along with him.

No!

Leave.

Tell me this!

Your master

is someone who's obsessed with wealth.

All of you work so hard

to

complete your mission. you?

If you help me

win his heart,

I will promote you

and increase your salary!

Truly?

My words...

-Carry weight! -Carry weight!

(Well,)

(since joining the Assassin Assembly Hall,)

(Master has never been willing)

(to give me a salary.)

(If this matter works,)

(my salary will increase.)

(If it doesn't work,)

(she'll be the one who dies, not me.)

Let's do it!

We must know ourselves and the opponent

to be successful.

If you want to win our master's heart,

you need to have

a deep understanding of him.

[Romantic Heroic Chronicles]

-Romantic Heroic Chronicles? -Romantic Heroic Chronicles?

Precisely.

Master wrote

this book himself,

where he includes

all of his great achievements.

After reading it,

you'll know

what kind of person he is.

"Captured the Five Great Bandits"?

"Defeated Prince Di Lanjue"?

How's that possible?

His Highness has been searching

for the soul shards with us

the whole year.

He never had the chance to fight him.

I don't believe it.

How could it be possible?

"The great Hero Heartless gained fame and respect,

attracting numerous aspiring talents

to join him.

Eventually, he established the Assassin Assembly Hall,

which became a powerful force in the region."

(It seems there's more to it than meets the eye.)

(When I see him again,)

(I must ask him directly.)

Youqin's only hobby

used to be playing the zither and brewing tea.

Now he likes

carving flowers on stones.

It's been less than half a day

and the entire mansion

has turned into a cave.

It's not about the stone flowers.

He just has nowhere else

to vent his longing for Qingkui.

He has such a faithful heart.

Indeed, the relationship between Qingkui and Youqin

has reached the point

of enduring all hardships.

The flowers?

so distasteful.

Those stones are

for me to make magic it ems.

Don't be so stingy.

(Both of us were named after flowers.)

(Now,)

(we both have someone who loves us.)

Hopefully, the trouble of the soul shards

will come to pass.

So everything can return to peace.

The trouble of the soul shards

will surely come to pass.

The Prince's Mansion's defense is solid as a rock.

Even if the Void Patrol

is competent,

he won't be able

to harm Fiery one bit.

So don't worry .

Fiery sure is safe

and can happily

be his stone carver here.

But my...

Kui and Man are still outside.

Just imagine Chaofeng's cultivation

combined with the clever strategies

of the Void Patrol Battalion.

If they were caught,

what...

What should we do then?

Since I'm here,

I won't let Qingkui

bear such heavy pressure.

Then what do you plan to do?

Are you heading back to stall Chaofeng again?

I want

to lure him to attack the Prince's Mansion .

Princess Yetan,

what are you saying?

Using defensive tactics to attack them?

Won't this be too risky?

What are you afraid of?

You have the number one magic item expert

of the four realms here.

I dare not brag about the rest.

But anyone who dares to come to my Prince's Mansion

will not leave alive.

They'll have their bodies shattered,

bones crushed, and ashes scattered.

Absolutely not.

We only need to protect the soul shard.

Don't harm him.

This is a good plan.

But

what do we use as bait?

What kind of tea is this?

Sir,

it's Laojunmei tea from the Mortal Realm.

What about the princess's health-preserving tea?

We haven't been able to find any soul shards lately.

You've been upset and already finished it.

Besides,

the princess isn't here,

and I don't know how to make tea.

Sir!

Any news?

We found this

at the human-beast border.

After comparing,

it's exactly the same as the one beside the stone hut

in Yuewo Village.

I believe it was made by the soul shard.

Green granite.

This is a special material used

by the Beast King's tribe.

Beast Tribe?

Princess Yetan and the Beast Tribe's prince

are close friends.

Could it be

that they went to the Beast Tribe because of our pursuit?

That's not bad.

That felt great.

Let's go for a drink.

Sure, let's go.

[Closed]

Master's whereabouts have always been mysterious.

During closing time,

he never lets us

into the hall.

But before I finish work,

he'll ask me to brew

a pot of fine tea for him.

This is Beast Realm's

finest tea, Shuxu Tea.

If you bring it to him

and share a cup of tea under the lamp,

it would surely be beneficial

to your relationship.

We'll put another act again tomorrow,

and it'll surely boost our reputation.

You?

What are you doing here?

So you killed people and acted Ruthlessly

in Assassin Assembly Hall

to deceive your subordinates

and customers?

Then does that mean

your reputation as the Beast Realm's top assassin

is also fake?

Stop

spouting nonsense

! Give

me

the hand

!

No!

Let go!

No!

Give it back!

No!

I'm not giving it back!

Get off of me!

No way.

Get down!

Still not confessing, huh?

If you want me to get down,

use your real skills then.

Steadfast as a rock,

strength of the mountains,

come to my aid!

Get off of me!

Get off!

You can't even undo such

a basic spell

.

Listen, here.

Your men

are outside.

So tell me.

If they see you

in such a state,

do you think they'll still risk their lives for you?

If you don't tell me the truth,

I'll call them in.

You wouldn't dare!

My fellow buddies...

No, please don't.

Don't call them.

I'll tell you.

This appearance is all I could remember

since I was born.

(I don't know where I came from.)

(And I had neither family nor friends.)

(But I've always had the desire)

(to make money.)

(So I worked hard to earn it.)

Stop dawdling!

Hurry up!

( When I first arrived in the Beast Realm,)

(I did any work I could find.)

(I moved sandbags, ran errands, and ran small businesses.)

Pardon me, please move aside.

Please make way for me.

Passing through!

Make way.

Next!

(But the money I made was not worth)

(the amount of work I put in.)

Li.

Here you go.

Heartless!

I'm right here!

Heartless,

this is your pay for today.

Don' t drop it.

Work harder.

What are you looking at?

That's a lot.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Next!

(Then I he ard the fastest way)

(to make money in the Beast Realm)

(is to be an assassin.)

(But what to do? My cultivation was too low.)

(I can't even handle)

(such work.)

(So I went to the food stalls)

(

to

inquire about the assassins' news.)

Waiter! Coming, sir!

What would you like to have?

Bring me your best wine

and best dishes

. have them ready. Please wait.

Let's drink.

Cheers.

Drink up.

Yesterday, I killed Mr. Liu, the moneybag

and made 200 gold taels. Drink up

. Money isn't an issue.

Cheers

!

Yourselves.

Cheers.

It looks like

assassins make money

the quickest

in the Beast Realm.

You're right about that.

You said it.

It only happens to assassins

in the Beast Realm.

(But I found that no one claims)

(the credit of the unsolved cases.)

(So I claimed them,)

(compiled them into a book,)

(built my reputation, and used it)

(to establish the Assassin Assembly Hall.)

That's how I went

from Heartless

to Hero Heartless.

Miss.

No, I mean,

Heroine.

No, I mean,

ma'am.

Don't call me ma'am.

Fairy,

you mustn't expose me.

Or else

my daily income of hundreds of gold

will be cut off.

So this book

is all just your own boasting

and none of it's true?

What

about the capture

of the Five Great Bandits?

That was just them killing each other

over the spoils.

Well,

what about the capture of Prince Di Lanjue?

Di Lanjue...

He disappeared over a year ago.

So I made up a story.

I almost got into trouble

with Beast King with that one.

So you just make up stories

to claim credit for any unclaimed cases

in the Beast Realm, huh?

Yes.

But it's making money.

It's nothing shameful.

What about the mechanism

in your residence?

It's just some small tricks.

It was to scare people.

Has no one ever suspected you

of you doing this?

Well...

Of course there are.

Normally, besides collecting money,

I keep a low profile

and won't easily show my hand.

Even if they have doubts,

they wouldn't t dare

to challenge me.

In just one year,

you came up with so many tricks.

Top money lover.

You're flattering me.

Ma'am.

Fairy.

As long as you don't expose me,

I...

I 'll do anything you want.

What do you want?

Come here.

This is what I've been waiting to hear.

I heard that in the Beast Realm,

when a man and a woman are in a relationship,

they're called " Mandarin Ducks."

As long as you agree to be with me,

I'll keep it a secret.

Wait. You see.

Since you already know

my true identity,

why bother being in a relationship with me?

I have no cultivation

and am a liar,

I'm really not worthy of you.

Fellow buddies outside...

No, please don't.

Don't shout.

Will you do it?

I'll be honest.

It costs a lot of money

to be in a relationship.

You see,

if you buy this and that

for a girl I love,

what if

I

have to marry her

and hand in all of my property,

my heart would...

You don't have to worry about this

. 'm not

after your money.

I'm after you.

Moreover,

not only will I not spend a penny of your mon ey,

but I'll also help you make money.

Really?

Yes.

In that case,

I'm willing to make a bet with you.

If you can make 5,000 gold taels

within half a month,

I will get on my knees

and submit myself to you.

But if you fail,

from then onward,

don't pester me,

and more importantly, don't reveal my secrets

to anyone.

What do you think?

(This woman is persistent)

(and is difficult to deal with.)

(As long as she agrees to the bet)

(and sees how difficult it is to make money,)

(she'll back off herself.)

(He thinks he can scare me off with this bet.)

(This is fine too.)

(Blackmailing may work for now.)

(But it won't work forever.)

(Heartless loves money more than life.)

(As long as I can make money,)

(he'll look at me in a different light.)

All right.

It's a deal.

Deal then.

So tell me

how you're going to make 5,000 gold taels?

I'm skilled in gambling.

I only need

to go to the gambling house to...

Miss,

didn't I tell you

[How to Make Money by Heartless] I did any work I could find back then?

You did all kinds of jobs?

All of them?

You even graded them

based on the speed of making money?

Miss.

If you want

to be in a relationship with me,

you have to move sacks

for 3,680 years,

sell magic items

for 580 years,

or kill 168 evil beasts

in the Beast Realm.

(So he's trying to make me give up.)

(You really )

(don't know me.)

I'm not going to use the foolish ways

you mentioned.

Then what are you going to do?

Tomorrow morning,

I'll take you somewhere.

Luckily you told us

to mask our scent,

and we were able to avoid the Beast Army

and arrive at the Prince's Mansion.

But sir,

I heard Di Lanjue

is very cunning.

I'm sure there are protective formations and artifacts

inside and outside the mansion.

Even if the soul shard is inside,

can we even go in?

Sir,

why don't I

return to the Void to bring reinforcement?

Come back here.

If we mobilize troops,

Wudai and the Empress

will definitely be aware of the soul shard's whereabouts.

If we want to assassinate the soul shard,

we must

catch them off guard and attack them unexpectedly.

Otherwise, if the Beast Army surrounds us,

we will have no way to retreat.

How about this?

Beast Army

and sneak in.

Are you a dog?

Can you turn into a dog?

Then what are we supposed to do then?

Find a spot

where the defense is weakest

and go straight in.

All right.

It's such a personal token,

but how could the soul shard be so careless

to lose it,

and let it coincidentally be picked up by our men?

Could it be a trap?

Why isn't Chaofeng taking the bait?

Could it be

that the stone flower I threw out

wasn't t picked up by them?

Since the Void Patrol

can deduce the location

of my brother's soul shard

and Yuewo Village

from the slightest clues,

he must be very scheming.

We're taking a huge risk with this plan.

What if he sees through it ?

Chaofeng has always been decisive and ruthless.

Now the temptation of the soul shard

is big enough for him.

He'll take the risk.

Then I'll remove some guards

at the entrance

to lure him.

No.

We have to increase the guards.

The more they feel like

they're facing a big threat, the better

. , look.

They've increased Prince's Mansion defense.

They're trying to lure us in

and also increasing their guards on the surface.

Isn't the pretty obvious?

Yetan isn't a fool.

If you put it that way,

there could be no trickery involved.

I still have doubts.

But killing the soul shard

is my best chance to turn things around.

I must not miss this chance.

Even if the Prince's Mansion is a dangerous place,

we must still take the risk.

go.

Why is there no one inside?

Sir, we fell for their trick!

I know that.

Shut up!

Sir...

Look up there!

You had to go down the wrong path

instead of the right way

. expect it, did you?

This Prince's Mansion of mine

is the most powerful magic item

in the world.

You still want to kill the soul shard?

Take this!

You can wait inside

for Shaodian Youqin to c ome back.

Don't be too proud.

It was Yetan

who first thought of Chaofeng's thoughts

and outsmarted them.

That

's

how we manage to catch them.

Without

my magic item,

this plan

wouldn't have worked anyway.

It's the art of war.

It was Yetan

who made the greatest contribution. the more I struggle?

Let me help you.

Try harder to loosen it, Shui.

No

,

it's still tight. It won't work. This

is the Deity-Binding Rope specially made by the Beast Tribe.

Heavenly Emperor

during the battle in Guixu.

Sir,

we've always proceeded with caution

and never engaged in battles without preparation.

We were only greedy and reckless for success once.

Only this one time

and we ended up being tied

like merfolk in the sea .

How do I look as merfolk, Sir?

We were

not greedy and reckless for success,

but betrayed.

Di Lanjue couldn't have come up

with such a strategy.

It must be Qingkui.

Princess

Qingkui? to stall you

and then set a trap for you

based on her understanding of you?

After all you've d one for her,

she's still an ingrate.

Perhaps she has

her reasons.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have brought her.

In short,

we shouldn't have switched the brides

and dug our own holes.

feelings for her.

Look at us now.

She's going

to bury us alive here.

Your Highness.

When this is over,

we'll return to the Void.

I'm afraid you'll have to stay here

these days.

Princess Qingkui, you don't need to return to the Void anymore.

As the Empyrean Consort,

it's your duty

to protect the soul shard.

I forgot about that.

Chaofeng.

I forgot that two people

with different goals can't walk together

. Angry with me.

But you know

that I'm not doing this

to harm you.

I'm considering our future.

Future?

If I lose the position of Crown Prince,

my mother and thousands of soldiers

from the Void Patrol Battalion

will all die a tragic death.

Here you are, talking about the future?

I've said everything I needed to say.

If you are still

so stubborn,

there's nothing I can do.

Y ou should rest now.

I will come back tomorrow.

No need.

Do we have to give up our feelings

just because we have different standpoints?

We're different.

You

grew up with privileges since childhood

. bring good fortune to the people.

But me?

I come from a lowly background.

I've struggled hard to get to where I am today.

I won't tolerate any disloyalty

from those around me.

If you refuse to let me go today ,

then when Shaodian Youqin returns,

it'll be the time for us to part ways forever.

Thanks to Yetan

that we managed

to trap this hateful Void Patrol.

I get upset at the thought of him

trying to kill my brother.

That's right.

He's lucky that we're not killing him.

If he still doesn't know what' s good for him,

I have plenty of magic items

to make his life

a living hell.

If you're still not satisfied,

I can help you.

How can you help?

There are plenty of ways.

I have a magic item

that can make people extremely hungry.

We can use it on him,

and we won't give him any water or food.

Starve him to death.

Yes, starve him to death.

Princess Yetan,

are you sad?

I'm just tired.

Then why are you crying?

Well,

why don't you get some rest?

Let's go.

Sir,

how did you let her fool you?

How did she manage

to fool you?

Why did you let her

fool you?

Stop talking meaningless things!

Can't you see her intention?

We

do

n't need you to

say

more

. can't I?

Third Prince is right.

He should be more decisive

and make a clean break.

Just keep quiet!

Why did you take me here?

Where are we?

Is this...

Is this

the good idea you meant?

place

is where the most powerful killer hornet resides in the Mortal Realm.

I

have sent Man

to the market

to buy a large batch

of killer hornet ointments.

Then

we just need to go to the evil district

and release these ho rnets.

So the villains will buy the medicine,

and then we can collect the money.

Clever.

(I didn't expect her to be this smart.)

I think

it's indeed

a good trick.

But where did you get so much money

to buy the ointments?

On credit

with your name.

You spend

my

money again. There, there. You

need

to invest to earn more money.

Go and

trap

the hornets

. me that.

Nothing good happens when you call me that.

Before you make money,

just call me by my name.

I don't care if I make any,

you're still my hubby.

Things like catching killer hornets

should be the work of a husband.

Go!

No!

I don't want to die.

The killer hornets are venomous.

What if I die?

Not only will you lose money,

but you will also lose a wife

who can make money.

It'll be a huge loss for you.

Did you say venomous?

Then you go.

I want money and my life.

But I don't really want a wife.

You're greedy and not loyal.

I'm trying to make money for you here .

Is this how you treat me?

Fine. w about this?

If you don't go and trap the hornets yourself,

the deal is off

and we'll go separate ways.

I'll go!

What's this?

Light it.

Don't get stung.

Run!

Run!

Today,

the one we're going to rob

is very rich.

That's right.

So what?

If he doesn't want to give me,

I'll just cut him.

♪The flying seabed sand♪

♪If only I can spend the sad night with you♪

♪We'll go through the ups and downs together♪

♪ Hair messed up by the wrong times♪

♪I'm not afraid no matter how tough it is♪

♪You're the crescent in my heart♪

♪My radiance, condensing into days♪

♪If I do shed tears♪

♪They will turn into flowers in my heart♪

♪I'll always be yours♪

♪Even the galaxy will agree with me, love needs no answer♪

♪I'll shine for you♪

♪In this flawless world♪

♪I'll always be yours♪

♪In this flawless world♪
