[Twelve Legends]

[Episode 9]

That... That was some good drinking tonight.

The alcohol was great.

But the girls were disappointing.

Stop the car!

Do you want to die?

It's late at night.

Why would you loiter by the street?

Stop screaming.

This lady is beautiful.

Not bad at all.

I'll let this slide.

We like it when a woman is feisty,

especially a beautiful lady like you.

What happened? What's going on?

Who was that?

What exactly happened?

Stupid lady!

Stupid lady!

Mr. Wang.

Brat, I warned you not to drink so much.

You had too much to drink.

This friend of mine just arrived in Shanghai.

She's ignorant.

Mr. Wang, you don't have to stoop as low as her. Am I right?

Fine.

For the sake of Ms. Tao,

we don't want to ruin our mood either.

We will let this slide.

However, Ms. Tao,

you should keep us company...

and drink with us next time.

Of course.

Thank you for being considerate.

The next time you visit Xinxin,

I'll make it up to all of you.

All right. Remember that!

How did you offend him?

Do you know who he is?

I don't care.

That's Mr. Wang.

He's the only son of the tycoon of Shanghai Automobile Factory.

If you offend him,

no matter how big Shanghai is, you'll never be able to stay.

Where do you live?

You should hurry home

before they turn around and cause you trouble again.

I just arrived in Shanghai.

I don't have a place to stay yet,

but what's the giant metal box

that contains the people?

You don't even know what a car is?

How pitiful.

It's late at night. It's inappropriate for a young lady like you

to walk around the streets.

Don't you have relatives here?

Would you... like to stay with me for the night?

You can find a place to stay tomorrow.

Here we are. This is my house. Come with me.

[Shunxing Hostel]

I live on the second floor.

Come on in.

Come with me.

This room used to belong to a friend of mine.

You may sleep here tonight.

Are these shiny things clothes?

Yes, all my dresses are like this.

By the way, my name is Xiao Tao. What about you?

Ye Ming.

From the way you're dressed,

you don't look like you're from the countryside.

How did you come all the way to Shanghai on your own?

I escaped.

You escaped?

Are you a wanted criminal?

No, I'm not.

I escaped a marriage.

That's good to know.

You look exhausted.

Get some rest.

By the way,

I want to sleep all I want. Do not wake me up tomorrow.

Sir, you're eating a lot at night.

You might not be able to sleep well.

Go to bed.

All right. Sir, you should go to bed, too.

Mr. Lian, why would you visit at this hour?

Stupid Stone.

I searched all night. I finally found her.

A woman brought her home.

I waited outside her apartment

until I was sure the woman was a human. Only then I left.

Stone, I promised you that I would not kill her.

I fulfilled my promise.

In my opinion, there's no need for me to do anything.

The world has changed so much.

She has no idea.

Just now, she nearly got hit by a car.

Did you save her?

I'm a mortal.

How could I save her?

Were you reluctant to save her?

Not at all.

Not at all. I wanted to save her,

but Ye Ming... was tough.

I didn't have an opportunity to save her.

Don't forget your promise to me.

I'm a demon hunter. There's nothing wrong with hunting down a demon.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

Since the little white mouse died,

forget about how the green caterpillar demon blames me,

you keep blaming me, too.

It's unreasonable.

Demon hunters hunt down demons. However, we're despised and mistreated.

Stupid Stone, I'm reminding you.

The thunder tribulation is coming up.

Why are you not concerned?

All you can think of is Ye Ming.

Listen to me. If you're killed by the thunder,

no one will be able to protect that demon.

How many seals do you have?

You only brought one back from Beiping.

You have not progressed since then.

I advise you to hurry up. If you do not collect them all...

Have some buns.

I'm not finished yet!

Fish for sale!

- Knives for sale! - Chicken for sale!

Come on, check it out!

Chicken for sale!

Madam, are you done counting them?

- Yes. - Yes?

Since you're done, I'll settle the bill then.

That's too much.

This is homemade fabric.

It doesn't cost so much.

Just take it, madam.

I can tell at a glance that you've put in a lot of effort.

Look at the stitches. You're the only one who can make them so well.

Look at the dye job.

It's evenly dyed, unlike those sold by others.

If you think it's too much, take it as a deposit.

From now on, all of your fabric will be bought by Christian.

Sir! My fish has been cured for three months.

Smell it!

I forged the knives personally.

They are really sharp.

Look at my hen!

Look at my fish!

I dried them at home!

This hen is great!

Buy some of these! Take two!

My knives are great!

Check out my fish!

My hen is great!

- Sir! - Guys!

Hurry up! I have a lot in stock!

Don't go!

I have other goods!

You will not suffer losses!

My items are great!

Don't go! Just give it a look!

Don't go!

Don't run!

Sir.

Sir, hang in there!

Sir, hang in there!

Sir! Please hang in there.

Sir, wake up!

Wake up, sir!

Wake up.

Wake up.

Stop sleeping. Wake up.

A doctor?

A hospital?

Am I injured?

Yes. I'm injured.

Doctor, how is my injury?

Is it hopeless, doctor?

How's my injury?

Your injury is too severe.

Too severe?

Heaven envies my talent!

Doctor, do you know who I am?

You must save me.

Without me and my hands,

the world will lose many beautiful garments. You must save me.

If you came a little later, the wound would have healed.

It's an emergency.

Stop joking around.

Did you amputate my arm?

Was it you?

Turn around!

Get down.

You will be fine after a jab.

Doctor, please understand.

In the art industry,

our hands are really sensitive—

Sir.

- Are you crying? I'm fine. - You gave me a fright.

Well, my butt did suffer a little.

Your... butt?

Where's Liu?

He was hit by a car.

He's being treated right now.

He was hit by a car?

Slow down, sir.

Who's the family of Liu Xiaobing?

I am.

Settle the medical fees.

I'll go.

The medical fees.

Money isn't an issue.

How is he doing?

We managed to keep him alive.

He's a really competent worker of mine.

It'll be hard for me to run the business without him.

When will he be discharged?

Discharged? His injuries are severe.

He will be bedridden for at least a year.

At least a year?

[Christian Ye Couture]

[Temporarily closed] [Now hiring]

I'm heading in.

All right.

[Great work benefits] [Great environment]

Next.

Over here, please.

Business is great around here.

The working benefits are great, too.

Sir, it's your turn now.

Over here, please.

Am I right?

Sir.

Good day, sir.

Well, do you have experience in the service industry?

Yes.

Well...

Master, would you like it the northern way or the western way?

We recommend the northern way.

The western way is inferior.

Do you have any special tricks to attract customers?

Yes.

When the beat drops, we're not praising anything else.

What we're going to praise is the delectable buns of Tianjin.

I'm here to apply to be the boss's wife.

Do you have any special tricks to attract customers?

Wel... Welcome... to...

our store.

Very... im... pressive.

Coming!

- Lord Jia, you're here. - Xiao Pi.

Where's Brother Jin?

He's inside.

Brother Jin!

Brother Jin.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

Brother Jia, how are you doing?

Well, I'm fine.

However, a few days ago, I was drinking with someone

and he left me by the street for the entire night.

Brother Jia, don't you remember?

It was you!

Were you drunk as well?

You left me alone by the street without getting me a car.

That was inappropriate.

Lord Jia, have some tea.

All right.

However, how much did I drink?

Both of us do not drink.

Why would we consume alcohol all of a sudden?

I acted on a whim.

Pardon me, Brother Jia.

It's rare for me to be able to drink with you.

I came this time to bid you farewell.

I've stayed in Shanghai for too long this time.

It's time to return to Beiping.

Aren't you staying for a few more days?

No. I acquired a few valuables during my trip to Shanghai this time.

I will not go home empty-handed.

Anyway, about what you asked me to find out,

I have to ask you again.

Is the item you seek an ancestral treasure?

Yes.

That's right.

A few months ago, during the war up north,

they excavated a few ancient tombs.

Someone saw a jade seal that's similar to what you possessed.

A friend of mine is asking around to determine where the seal is.

Once I receive news, I'll inform you immediately.

Thank you, Brother Jia.

Don't mention it.

All right. I should get going.

I'll see you off.

All right.

[Hua Xue Gallery]

Take care, Lord Jia.

Brother Jin.

Let's meet again the next time you visit Beiping.

We mustn't drink anymore.

Brother Jia, I feel bad.

I'm just kidding.

If you want to drink, I'll gladly accompany you.

I'm leaving, Brother Jin.

Goodbye, Xiao Pi.

Take care, Lord Jia.

See you in Beiping!

Brother Jin, long time no see. I hope all is well.

Let me tell you.

I have been contemplating

ways to combine the beauty

of the east and the west.

Thus, I am thinking.

If we incorporate Chinese traditional weaving techniques in Western fashion designs,

what kind of refreshing idea will it create?

Make Western dresses with homemade cloth?

That's right, Brother Jin.

I shall make Western dresses with a homemade fabric.

I'm planning to pair China's most traditional and immaculate homemade fabric

with my most stylish Western designs.

I'll make a suit specially for you.

Thank you.

You're most welcome.

The beautiful combination of Chinese and Westerners

can only be carried by you.

However, for the homemade fabric, I've suffered quite a lot.

In order to acquire the most traditional and the best kind of fabric,

I went through all the markets of the surrounding villages.

The sellers pursued me like bandits.

You know what?

Out of nowhere, a huge cat jumped on me

and scratched me.

You should be careful.

It's nothing major.

I received an injection.

One unlucky incident happened after another.

After I was injured by the cat,

my most competent worker, Liu,

got into a car accident.

My store is short of manpower.

Mr. Ye, here's your coffee.

Xiao Pi.

How did you know I was here?

I heard you back in the kitchen.

I couldn't make your favorite snacks on time.

But here's some crunchy candy. Please make do with it.

Sure. No problem.

- Enjoy. - All right.

Look at Xiao Pi.

He's quick-witted and meticulous.

He focuses only on his job. He's eloquent as well.

A man like him is perfect in terms of demeanor and mannerism.

Such a worker is rare.

If my employees were half as good as him, I would be grateful.

If you have a need, you may ask for Xiao Pi's help anytime.

I can't do that.

Look, Hua Xue Gallery is huge.

He's the only worker here.

He's unable to leave.

If he has the time to guide my employees,

I'll be more than happy.

It's getting late.

I dropped by because I hadn't seen you in a long time.

I missed you.

Seeing that you're as dazzling as ever,

I'm relieved. I'll pay you a visit next time.

When the suit is done, I'll bring it over at once.

Goodbye!

Why are you still here?

I have nowhere to go.

Are you planning to stay here permanently?

Your place is comfortable and clean.

If it's convenient, I would be really happy.

Well, I don't know if it is convenient for you.

I don't mind, but you should know that

the living expenses in Shanghai are very high.

Besides, I live... in the heart of the city.

Property is expensive.

The rent...

Are you collecting rent?

My place costs twenty dollars a month.

Let's split it in half. What do you think?

Twenty dollars a month?

I know you're financially tight right now.

How about this?

What if I pay you an extra two dollars?

How much silver is twenty bucks worth?

Silver?

No one uses silver now.

We use cash now.

Cash?

No matter how much it costs, can I owe you first?

You're right. You just ran away from home.

You don't have a single cent with you.

I'll take you in first.

However, you can't stay home all day anymore.

You need to find a job.

What is a job?

As a lady of a wealthy family, you don't know anything.

To be part of society, you must learn to be independent.

You can't make a living without a job.

What are you going to eat without money?

The days back when you lived idly

and had everything provided for you are long gone.

I'll talk to you later. I have to get ready for work.

What do you work as?

Me? I'm a singer at Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall.

As for the shiny dress you found last night,

I put it on to sing and entertain the wealthy men.

Is the place crowded?

You have no idea. It's really lively.

If it's a lively place,

it should be easy to inquire about someone.

The nightclub is a complicated place.

The most reputable people of Shanghai gather there.

Asking around about someone should be easy.

What's the matter? Who are you looking for?

I might know the person.

Do you know anyone named Yu Shaobai?

Yu Shaobai?

What an elegant name.

However, I don't know anyone with the surname of Yu.

Who is he?

Is he your lover?

See? You're blushing.

I guess you escaped the marriage and came to Shanghai for Mr. Yu.

I just want to ask him about certain things.

Really?

Xiao Tao, can I go with you to the nightclub?

Ye Ming, such a place is inappropriate for a fine lady like you.

Why are fine ladies not allowed there?

The world has evolved.

Does one's family status matter when it comes to going to a nightclub?

Fine. I'll show you around tonight.

We're here.

[Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall]

Ye Ming, let's go in.

[Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall]

This is where I work.

Sister Xiao Tao, you're late.

The manager has been looking for you.

All right.

This is my friend. Take care of her.

I'll get changed. Be right back.

Miss, over here, please.

Miss, over there.

Come on, have a seat.

All right.

We're out to have fun.

Relax.

It's bright.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Have a drink.

The taste is pretty good.

Miss, what would you like to drink?

Anything is fine.

What is this place?

It's an entertainment outlet.

Is it a brothel?

How can it be a brothel?

As a woman, you're pretty knowledgeable.

You finally admit that I'm a woman.

Excuse me. It's a slip of the tongue.

A female demon like you sure knows a lot.

Of course.

I'm very knowledgeable.

Not everyone is a demon hunter like you.

All you do is hunt demons down.

Come on. I'll show you the world.

No.

I'm a righteous man. I'll never enter such a place.

Go there by yourself.

I'm a woman.

What if someone harasses me while I'm inside?

You're only a caterpillar. Why would anyone harass you?

It's fortunate that you're not harassing others instead.

Fine. Stay here all by yourself.

It's none of my concern.

You're pretty.

People would harass you once you're in there.

Really?

Do you really think I'm pretty?

Yes. You're really pretty.

Fine.

I'll stay here with you.

I'm feeling a little cold.

It is chilly.

Let's have a bowl of noodles to warm ourselves up.

Let's go.

♫ Night in Shanghai, night in Shanghai, ♫

♫ You are a city that never sleeps ♫

♫ Bright lights, the cars sounds, ♫

♫ Peaceful and prosperous song and dance ♫

♫ I saw her smiling face ♫

♫ who knows her inner anguish ♫

♫ Living the nightlife is needed ♫

- Lin. - Mr. Manager.

Who's the lady over there?

I'd never seen her in the nightclub before this.

That one?

Sister Xiao Tao brought her here.

It's her first time in the nightclub.

Sister Xiao Tao wants me to take care of her.

Do you know who she is?

She looks like a daughter of a rich family.

Do you need me to ask her?

It's fine.

Since she's a friend of Xiao Tao, we will find out sooner or later.

Make me a glass of Martini.

All right.

The Martini is the queen of all drinks.

It's perfect for the prettiest lady tonight.

Thanks.

Are you a friend of Xiao Tao?

Yes.

I'm the manager of Xinxin Dance Hall. My surname is Zhou.

May I ask where you hail from?

I ran away from home.

This is my first time in Shanghai.

Xiao Tao told me that the nightclub had all walks of life.

I'm sure you know everyone and everything in Shanghai.

It's an exaggeration.

However, here at the Bund,

I'm acquainted with some reputable people.

I would like to find out about someone.

At your service.

Yu Shaobai.

Yu Shaobai?

I know all the reputable people in Shanghai.

However, Yu Shaobai...

Give me some time.

I'll surely find this person for you.

Thank you.

I'm a businessman.

I hope you understand that there ain't no such thing

as a free lunch.

If that's the case, I shouldn't trouble you.

You've misunderstood, Miss.

Since you've graciously visited Xinxin Dance Hall,

I wonder if you'd be willing to join me in a dance.

A dance?

I'm not very good at dancing,

but I can sing.

What would you like to sing?

This one.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

- Bravo! - Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo!

♫ Night in Shanghai, night in Shanghai, ♫

♫ You are a city that never sleeps ♫

♫ Bright lights, the cars sounds, ♫

♫ Peaceful and prosperous song and dance ♫

♫ I saw her smiling face ♫

♫ who knows her inner anguish ♫

♫ Living the nightlife is needed ♫

Look.

She's chosen to sing your song.

She's clearly here to steal your limelight.

Nonsense.

You can't just steal Xiao Tao's limelight.

In my opinion, even if Xiao Tao leaves,

I should replace her as the best singer.

She has a long way to go.

That's enough. I brought her here.

I didn't expect her to sing so well.

She was bold enough to go on stage.

All right. It's our turn. Let's get ready.

Come on.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

It's unexpected.

You sang really well.

I wonder if you'd like to be a resident singer at my nightclub.

I'm willing to offer three times the money

I offered to other singers.

I'm fine with the offer.

I only have one request.

Don't worry, Miss.

Leave the matter of Yu Shaobai to me.

Have you heard?

Mr. Zhou just signed with a new singer.

Really? That's quick.

Xiao Tao.

It's unbelievable.

Xiao Tao, you know what?

Mr. Zhou signed with a new singer.

Qian Qian got married recently.

There's nothing wrong with hiring a substitute.

Are you dumb? She's no substitute.

She's hired as a singer to take your place.

Xiao Tao, let's go.

We'll confront Mr. Zhou.

He signed her as the top singer just like that.

For experienced singers like us, it's disheartening.

Xiao Tao, let's confront him right now.

But I have one last song to sing.

Forget it. Let's go.

Sha Sha. Sha Sha.

- Come on. - Hold your horses.

- What are you doing? - Mr. Zhou.

What's the matter?

I heard that you signed with a new top singer.

Who told you that?

Anyway...

Anyway, it's known to everyone in the club.

Everyone is aware.

I did recruit a new singer, but not as the top singer.

Xiao Tao, I wanted to talk to you after the night was over.

Since we're all here, I'll let you know now.

I'm planning to recruit your friend, Ms. Ye, as a resident singer.

- Ye Ming? - Yes.

She said she came by your invitation.

She wanted to hear your opinion.

Are you all right with that?

Is she willing to do that?

Yes.

Then there's no reason for me to say no.

Xiao Tao, you're soft-hearted.

She's going to steal your spotlight.

That's enough.

Don't worry.

Ms. Ye is only performing three days a week.

The top singer will be chosen among the rest of you.

That is all. Go and get ready.

All right.

Xiao Tao, you're such a pushover.

That's enough.

By the way, I went out for a cigarette break just now.

I noticed that the mute, Yin, is waiting for you by the entrance again.

Don't call him a mute.

He just doesn't like to speak.

[Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall]

It's really cold.

Yin!

He's a distinguished man.

Why are you calling him Yin?

- You should go home. - I'll get going then.

- Bye. - Bye.

Are you feeling cold?

You should have waited for me backstage.

It's cold out here.

I'm fine.

Xiao Tao.

Yin, I just befriended her.

Meet Ye Ming.

Ye Ming, this is my...

friend, Yin Qing.

Mr. Yin, you're rather good-looking.

Yin, you don't have to walk me home tonight.

Ye Ming is staying with me.

We will head home together.

All right.

Let's go.

[Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall]

[Middle Xizang Road]

They left.

What are we doing here?

Let's have noodles. Come on.

Have you thought it through?

This line of work is not easy.

I have rent to pay.

You can't possibly find a place to stay on such short notice.

I'm just giving you a bed and some food.

You can repay me next time.

There's no rush.

Do you not want me to perform at the club?

I'm in this industry because I have no choice.

You're different.

You came all the way here to escape a marriage.

You're a fine lady. You shouldn't land yourself in this.

What's wrong with being a singer?

You've been singing for years.

You're a fine lady.

I'm concerned that you will not be able to marry anyone because of this.

If the man looks down on me because I sing in a nightclub,

why would I marry him?

Don't worry about me.

I really want to sing.

Is that true?

All right then. We shall perform together.

We can keep each other company going to and fro work.

[Christian Ye Couture]

Nothing is going well.

Sir.

Are you hiring?

Can you turn around?

Turn around.

Have we met previously?

You seem pretty familiar.

Never mind.

You're asking if we're hiring.

Are you the owner of this place?

Yes, obviously.

Good day, sir.

Not bad at all. Let's talk inside.

[Christian Ye Couture]

Tell me. What's your name?

My surname is Ye. First name, Xiao Hu.

Your surname is Ye?

Mine too. I'm Ye Qingchun.

Think of me as half family.

Based on your outfit and demeanor,

you seem like you're from a wealthy family.

Why would you apply to be an employee here?

My family went bankrupt recently.

We sold off the mansion.

I don't want to be a burden to my family.

I want to be independent.

You're a great kid.

Xiao Hu, employees are subordinates after all.

Forget about the labor and the exhaustion,

the beginning salary isn't much either.

Do you spend a lot normally?

No. One must work hard and persist through for a job out here.

Everyone starts from the bottom.

I understand such principles.

The salary doesn't matter to me.

I only request food and a place to stay.

Very good.

- Thank you. - You speak English, too?

Have you studied abroad?

I'm not as lucky as you.

It's just that, when I was younger, I interacted with Westerners often at home.

I understand the language.

I can have simple conversations.

That's great.

Look at you. You're good-looking, eloquent, and polite.

You can even speak English. You're perfect for Christian.

Perfect.

Come on! Drop everything right now.

Gather around.

I shall officially introduce him.

He is Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu, the four of them are your seniors from now on.

From today onwards, Xiao Hu will be an official employee here at Christian's.

Give him a round of applause.

Zhang, give him a set of uniforms later.

There's a vacant room behind the kitchen.

You may stay there temporarily.

Show him there.

Work hard.

Go on.

Come with me.

[Hua Xue Gallery]

A Japanese guest?

This is Hua Xue Gallery. Are you at the wrong place?

- It's me, Xiao Pi. - Mr. Lian?

This...

Hold on.

You're dress differently every day.

- You couldn't recognize me? - No.

That's good.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

This is our backyard.

Usually, we perform our daily activities here.

By the way, you're really lucky.

This is the new uniform designed by the boss.

You're the first to try it on.

This is the kitchen.

We live over there.

That's the backyard.

You will be living with us from now on.

All right. Get changed and come out to work.

- Thank you. - Don't mention it. Do your best.

What a coincidence.
