[Bloody Romance]

15

- You came.

- Yes.

16

I intentionally came to see you

17

and conveniently tell you that Cha Wu is dead.

18

Now, the only ones in our generation

19

who are left are you and I. Cha Ru.

20

So, did you come to kill me?

21

No.

22

I intentionally came to see you

23

and look at your beautiful complexion.

24

You were once an assassin who was glad to be back in your proper surroundings. (lit. like a fish back in the water)

25

You acted as a City Master for three months.

26

It’s a pity all of these are gone.

27

You must be happy. Right?

28

This is exactly the ending that you deserve.

29

You’ve utterly failed. (lit. failed and wiped over the floor)

30

Now, you are only fit to kneel down to me like this,

31

capitulating (lit. to bow before) and fawning. (lit. bow and bend the knee)

32

Lately, your temper has increased greatly.

33

The king gu insect inside your body is probably

34

starting to become restless again.

35

The day for it to finally rebel and bite will happen soon. Right?

36

I have already subdued it for more than ten years.

37

I’m not afraid of the king gu rebelling and biting anymore.

38

Then why must Xing Feng use my body as a gu device?

39

One after another, he develops

40

a (poisonous) gu insect to feed the king gu.

41

How is that not doing more than is required?

42

It’s indeed the punishment you deserve.

43

It’s the retribution you must repay.

44

You’re lacking confidence.

45

It’s fine whether you admit it or not.

46

The anti-sex on Xing Feng can’t be solved.

47

You and Xing Feng will be longing for each other for a long time,

48

like a dream.

49

The two of you can only be like now forever,

50

yearning to be intimate, but you can’t.

51

When your desire is burning,

52

he can only be like a eunuch.

53

You’re disappointed. Right?

54

Don’t think I’m as naive as I was in the past

55

and can easily be tricked by you like this.

56

Keep dreaming!

57

I won’t let you die so easily.

58

I want you to be like this now,

59

living like neither a person nor a demon

60

and dying is better than living!

61

City Master, a person from Jigu Pavilion is here.

62

I know. I’ll go there right away.

63

All of you are destined to suffer in purgatory,

64

consigned to eternal damnation!

65

I don’t care!

66

Xing Feng is willing to be together with me.

67

Irregardless of the ending,

68

we will never regret it!

69

What an eyesore.

70

- Hurry and tidy up.

- Yes.

71

Hurry.

72

Prepare a generous burial.

73

Master, whatever the case, the dead is a person of our Jigu Pavilion after all.

74

Can the City Master not even give a word of explanation?

75

Impertinent!

76

How can you dare to be so disrespectful to City Master?

77

I was mistaken. I know my faults.

78

Go to the torture chamber on your own and accept thirty whippings.

79

Yes.

80

Whatever you want to say, just say it.

81

I’m afraid if I say it, I’ll be beaten too.

82

You aren’t like him.

83

The reason I chose him is

84

to satisfy my voracious desire mentally and physically. But you

85

are concerned about your former Master every day.

86

You're a product that can't be brought up to be skillful. I can only chat with you.

87

I think that lately, City Master isn’t the same as how she used to be.

88

It doesn’t look like it’s caused by her fierce temper.

89

Then, what is it?

90

City Master’s complexion has been changeable recently.

91

One moment, it’s flushed. The next moment, it’s deathly white.

92

It’s like the qi and blood are raging and she’s powerless to suppress the expression.

93

Guihua City always had a rumor

94

that City Master obtained a king gu, but she’s can’t subdue it.

95

Every month, she suffers from the bite and rebellion of the king gu.

96

It’s indeed a rumor.

97

Since ancient times, the king gu won’t rebel and bite the host.

98

How can an intelligent person like you not know about this?

99

Since you believe it’s a rumor, then it's precisely so.

100

I won’t worry about City Master anymore then.

101

A person must be clear of one’s own position

102

and know when to stop. (lit. to stop before going too far)

103

Guihua City is indeed a place where the victorious rules.

104

However, it’s not a place to cultivate and gather. Those who obey her will live

105

and those who oppose her will die.

106

I’m always cautious and seldom speak.

107

It’s because you asked today so I didn’t care and spoke out of turn.

108

As for how you think,

109

that’s your own matter.

110

I’m tired. Help me get ready for bed.

111

Yes.

135

136

Master, you’re awake.

137

Er Yue,

138

what are you sneakily doing here?

139

Did your Master make you come here?

140

Replying to Master,

141

I was assigned by Torture Chamber Master. He said as an Earthly Assassin, you must have a shadow.

142

So from now on, I’ll be your shadow.

143

Your Master Xiang family is nice.

144

She was even promoted to Heavenly Assassin.

145

Why would you want to follow me?

146

Master Cha Wu previously had a shadow named, Feng Zhu.

147

Regarding martial arts skills and experience, he’s better than me.

148

So it's only right for Master Xiang to choose him.

149

Since you couldn’t ride on Master Xiang’s success (lit. poultry and dogs rise to Heaven), you’re probably feeling resentful. Right?

150

How can that be possible? Whether it’s your appearance or talent,

151

it’s even better than Master Xiang. Therefore, being able to follow you is my good fortune.

152

When you followed her previously to punish me and give me a hard time,

153

your behavior wasn’t like this.

154

Master Mei, you know that in Guihua City,

155

shadows can’t go against their master’s wish.

156

I didn't have the freedom to act independently.

157

Master Mei, please disregard my vile character and accept me.

158

Master Mei, Torture Chamber Master said,

159

if you don’t accept me, Torture Chamber Master won’t spare me!

160

Master Mei, please do me a favor and save me!

161

I don’t want to die! I want to live!

162

Master Mei, I beg you! I’ll be grateful to you!

163

Master Mei, I beg you!

164

Enough. Enough.

165

I got it.

166

Does that mean you accept me?

167

Does Chuixing Pavilion leave it up to me to disagree?

168

Thank you Master Mei. Thank you Master Mei for your generosity!

169

I’m grateful to Master Mei!

170

- Thank you Master Mei!

- Stop it.

171

I’m not the same Wan Mei as before,

172

unable to guard against your behavior.

173

I’ve already said once. Not only are you beautiful on the outside,

174

but you’re also beautiful inside. The Heavens will definitely take care of you.

175

How come it’s you?

176

Someone unexpectedly died yesterday.

177

Master Liu Guang instructed me to stand in for her first.

178

- She instructed you to stand in for her?

- Er Yue.

179

This is Jigu Pavilion’s matter.

180

Is it necessary for you to be involved?

181

I was babbling. I was being meddlesome.

182

I shouldn’t speak. I admit my mistake.

183

After you’re done hitting yourself enough, come here and help me get dressed.

184

Master Mei.

185

Help me comb my hair.

186

I'm..not your shadow now.

187

Then I can’t instruct you anymore.

188

Master Mei, let me. Let me, Master Mei.

189

Don’t call me Master Mei!

190

Yes...I won’t call you that.

191

I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to comb my hair.

192

All right...Anything you say is fine.

193

Master Mei is already done freshening up.

194

Leave immediately.

195

Don’t leave yet. Wait for me to finish talking to Miss Wan Mei.

196

Then go back with me.

197

Miss Liu Guang,

198

I wonder what brings you here today.

199

I have an ulterior motive for visiting. (lit. one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause)

200

I came to pass on City Master’s orders.

201

Miss Wan Mei, you have a new mission.

202

So you’re saying that the mission to assassinate Qin Yu Sang and frame Fang Ge

203

was assigned to Wan Mei?

204

That's right.

205

Do you feel there’s something unsuitable?

206

This mission is extremely difficult.

207

Wan Mei might not be able to complete it.

208

That’s why I asked you at that time

209

to entrust a person of Jianghu to find Cha Luo.

210

I originally thought she would assign the mission to Liu Guang.

211

She is an assassin after all.

212

The probability of success would naturally be higher.

213

No matter what happens we have to be prepared.

214

Even if she’s unlucky and both sides suffer,

215

my assistant wouldn’t be harmed either.

216

But it’s been assigned to Wan Mei now.

217

So apparently,

218

Cha Luo is still severely wary of Wan Mei

219

and won’t allow her to live well for even a little.

220

Then I’ll...go think of a way

221

Never mind.

222

Since it has been assigned to Wan Mei, that’s precisely her fate.

223

That’s good, too.

224

Assassinate Qin Yu Sang and frame Fang Ge.

225

Master, you can’t accept this mission.

226

Currently, you still don’t have martial arts skills.

227

Going to assassinate an exceptional expert is like throwing your life away.

228

Er Yue is indeed clever.

229

He’s so straightforward.

230

However, he isn’t wrong.

231

The level of this mission

232

is usually for me to do.

233

City Master has never assigned it to an Earthly Assassin.

234

This mission is indeed thorny (problem).

235

I wonder if Miss Liu Guang brought along Qin Yu Sang’s information?

236

Brother Chang An, you and Master Mei have a good relationship.

237

Hurry and advise her.

238

Brother Chang An, you can’t watch your former Master throw away her life in vain!

239

You indeed have a heart of stone. Hurry and advise her!

240

You’re a disgrace of the family.

241

It’s nothing if you’re only interested in saving yourself. (lit. greedy for life, afraid of death)

242

- Yet, you beg other people’s shadow!

- I don't dare.

243

Master, I sincerely was doing it for your sake!

244

Qin Yu Sang is an expert in many schools of thought.

245

His martial arts skill isn’t less than Fang Ge and he doesn’t lust after women.

246

He has no weakness to talk about.

247

Besides, he and Fang Ge are lifelong friends.

248

Saying that Fang Ge killed him, no one in the world will believe it.

249

You still haven’t gotten up?!

251

Previously, there's no other choice but to accept the mission given by Chuixing Pavilion.

252

There’s no possibility of declining. If you’re afraid of dying,

253

it’s fine for me to do it alone.

254

Miss Wan Mei is indeed impressive.

255

If you have any problems after a period of planning,

256

you’re welcome to come and find me at any time.

257

If you need a person to help,

258

I can also lend Chang An for you to use for a few days.

259

I’m a person of Master Liu Guang.

260

I should always be by Master Liu Guang’s side and serve you.

261

Master, please think it through.

262

Are you really unwilling to keep me company?

263

You must know if you step out of this situation, inside Guihua City, you

264

will be the highest ranked shadow besides Torture Chamber Master.

265

Master, you understand me.

266

Your mannerism is always unmoved by persuasion.

267

Forget it. You'd better guard outside the door.

268

Yes.

269

Come over here.

270

Take this pill.

271

This pill is called, Li Sao.

272

It’s an aphrodisiac that makes a person passionate like fire.

273

If you renege,

274

you can step inside this door at any time

275

and drag Yi Shi out.

276

I...will be yours.

277

Master, I'm here.

278

283

Do you have anyone that you like after all?

Do you like me a little?

Do you think I’m beautiful?

286

Besides me, did you ever think another woman was beautiful?

287

Do you know where you are the most handsome?

288

Your eyes!

289

Because your eyes...

290

have me in them!

Get lost! I don’t want to see you again tonight.

300

- Master, I...

- Get lost!

301

Who is it?

302

Gong Zi.

303

This sword is called Hidden Deity. The footwork is the footwork of the Hidden Deity in this sword.

304

His name is Fu Mei Han.

305

The Hidden Deity Sword has altogether thirteen forms. The form just a moment ago is the simplest.

306

It’s called Chuan Yun Po.

307

Take the sword.

308

Come and find me tomorrow at Tingzhu Courtyard.

310

[Tingzhu Courtyard]

311

Gong Zi.

312

This tune...are you familiar with it?

313

It’s Yu Ji, a song that you and I collaborated on.

314

It’s said that a broken string is a bad omen. What do you think?

315

I think the strings are only worldly possessions.

316

The quality of the material is separate. Cold and heat are also different.

317

If you rely solely on this trivial matter of a broken string to prophesy a person’s future,

318

it’s really too pessimistic.

319

Then according to you,

320

what’s the most important in a person’s future?

321

Stake all of your strength to deal with the fate of Heaven.

322

Then, you did your utmost to read Qin Yu Sang’s information all night.

323

Have you figured out any good methods?

324

Just as the outside world says, he's crazy about martial arts.

325

He wholeheartedly studies every school of martial arts. He doesn't care about anything else.

326

So I thought I'd start with the military aspect.

327

To deal with something I'm not very good at.

328

So I would have no way of setting a trap.

329

The string is broken, think of a way to continue.

330

If your ability is insufficient, find a way to study.

331

You know last night I gave you a lesson with the Hidden Deity Sword in the Jianghu realm.

332

That kind of help is hard to find.

333

I didn't know.

334

Then, after you've seen it, have you tried to practice it?

335

I’ll show you some disgraceful moves.

336

We don’t have much time. You must remember the moves a moment ago carefully.

337

I will perform three times the entire set for you to practice.

338

When you return, combine them with the secrets of Lingering Life or Death. You might scare Qin Yu Sang.

339

I’ll help you with your abilities.

340

In order for me to see Noble Warrior Qin’s face, I started my journey last month from Nan Jiang.

341

I arrived here just now.

342

It’s fine if Noble Warrior Qin doesn’t want to appear, but he should have a date nevertheless.

343

That's right.

344

- Is that right?

- Yes.

345

- Get out of the way.

- What is he doing?

- Get out of the way.

346

- Did you just come?

- I’ve been waiting for three days.

347

Go to the back of the line.

348

If you have something to say, say it nicely. What’s the meaning of touching me?

349

Do you want to compete?

350

Housekeeper Qi, who’s making the noise?

351

Replying to Noble Warrior Qin, it’s people who came to seek instructions for the martial arts skills.

352

It’s nothing. I’ll drive them away.

353

Noble Warrior Qin, I came here from far away because of your reputation.

354

Yet, you aren’t even willing to appear. That’s not the mannerism of a noble warrior.

355

- That’s right.

- I already gave orders earlier.

356

If an excellent martial artist is looking for me to exchange martial arts skills,

357

I, Qin Yu Sang, will be extremely welcoming.

358

If you don’t have supreme skills and are only looking for me to give you instructions in martial arts,

359

forgive me for being blunt. I’m too lazy to receive visitors.

360

Noble Warrior Qin’s martial arts skills is really exceptional.

361

I have an idea.

362

I can solve your sufferings from the daily disturbances.

363

I wonder if you’re willing to hear it?

364

Speak.

365

All the people here

366

study and love martial arts.

367

There’s a saying,

368

You can ask Housekeeper Qi

369

to prepare some paper, and pen and ink,

370

to let everyone write down the purpose of their visit

371

and the secret martial arts book they’re exchanging.

372

If you see a person that you’re content with,

373

leave it to the housekeeper to invite that person to come to the manor.

374

Thus, this will save some time of face-to-face discussion

375

and you won't miss out on anybody

376

who sincerely wants to exchange martial arts.

377

What do you think?

378

You’re right.

379

Let’s do it like this at once. Do it like this at once.

380

All right. My place has many visitors.

381

Your method to streamline a stand out from all the candidacy is actually unique.

382

Housekeeper Qi,

383

prepare pen and ink to let everyone slowly write.

384

After it’s written properly, give it to me.

385

Yes.

386

This is pretty good.

387

This method is good.

388

Mankind.

389

Who wrote this?

390

It's that lady who made the suggestion just now.

391

What is she like?

392

She's beautiful (lit. lovely as a flower) and clever.

393

Ask all of them to leave.

394

This...This lady deserves to be seen once. Why...

395

Madam hates the most when I meet a beautiful lady. It's better to forget about it.

396

Yes. I’ll go and inform them at once.

397

- How come he still hasn't come out?

- Everyone...

398

I’m sorry. My family master has already seen the paper examinations.

399

I’m sorry for your troubles. Everyone, please leave.

400

- What?

- How is that possible?

- That's right.

401

- It's indeed a waste of time.

- This is ridiculous. (lit. how can this be so?)

402

- How can it be like this?

- It's a waste of time.

403

Young Lady, please wait a moment.

404

Is that the Hidden Deity Sword you’re using?

405

Yes.

406

Since that’s the case, my Family Master requests the pleasure of seeing you in the study. Come.

407

Are you worried about Wan Mei?

408

Yes.

409

I'm also not worried.

410

I’ve already agreed with Alliance Master Fang that I will hand over Wan Mei to him.

411

But now that Wan Mei went on the mission, it's unknown whether she's dead or alive.

412

I’m thinking what I should do next.

413

There's a way to handle it whether she's dead or alive.

414

You didn’t promise that you must hand her over to him alive. It’s not worth it to worry about it.

415

Although you say that,

416

a slight change will affect everything. (lit. pull one hair and the whole body moves)

417

If I really give Fang Ge a corpse,

418

I can’t discuss business in the future either.

419

What business can you discuss with that Fang Ge?

420

Taking over the duties of Han Xiu’s salt business. I need to pay an official call to Xue Yan House.

421

If I don’t have the Alliance Master of the martial arts circle be a guarantor for me, how can I accomplish my goal?

422

Other people wrote about swords, halberds, and secrets of the heart method.

423

Yet you only wrote one word, “Mankind".

424

I want to hear your interpretation.

425

Mankind is produced from Heaven and Earth.

426

The spring season leaves. Then the fall season arrives. The passage of time produces the will of the people.

427

If the will of the people has the martial arts morals, the martial arts abilities are only the skills

428

to exchange pointers and provide self-defense.

429

The frame of mind seeks to be in the top position but can’t bear the coldness (loneliness) of being at the top.

430

If not, even if the sword

431

is considered a noble weapon among noblemen,

432

but if it falls into the hands of a vile person,

433

it’ll be like willfully slaughtering the innocents, too.

434

It's just like the enlightened remarks in the martial arts studies.

435

Even if the sword isn’t in a person’s hand but is in one’s heart,

436

one can even kill with leaves and flowers, too.

437

If mankind cease to exist,

438

flowers and leaves will only be flowers and leaves.

439

They'll just be a scenery of flowers and leaves falling gently between Heaven and Earth.

440

Therefore, I think

441

that the most terrifying weapon in the world isn’t the eighteen types of weapons

442

or the heart method sword list.

443

Rather, it’s mankind per se.

444

Well said.
