EPISODE 35

We set up this trap to capture you.

Your life is in my hands now.

Are you scared?

If you wanted to kill me, you would've done so yesterday.

Since you haven't killed me, you must need something from me.

You are smart!

Then I'll cut straight to the point.

If you tell me the secret to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm,

I'll release you immediately.

There are many ways to make someone talk.

Some use the threat of death, some choose to torture,

and some try seduction and temptation.

Why don't you try each of those and see if you can make me talk?

Since none of those methods will work,

I'll just let you go.

But since you are here as my guest,

I can't let you leave empty-handed.

Don't move.

My gossamer needles are inserted at your Heart Transporter Point.

If you use your martial arts or essential qi,

the needles will start moving and might pierce a hole somewhere.

That feeling...

is more painful than being eaten alive by a tiger.

Will you reveal the secret to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm?

It's your choice.

Yell "Great Lord Shan" three times when you've made a decision

and I'll come to you.

Why hasn't anything happened yet after so long?

Could Mr. Hua have fallen for Jiang Yulang's trap?

Jiang Yulang is crafty and cunning.

I fear Mr. Hua will fall for his dirty tricks!

If Xiaoyu'er were in danger,

would you worry for him in the same way?

If Xiaoyu'er were in danger, I would risk my life to save him.

Very well.

That is so touching.

Jiang Yulang, why are you here again?

Where is Hua Wuque? What have you done with him?

You certainly are a devoted lady.

However, after tonight,

you will forget all about Hua Wuque.

What do you want to do?

What do you think I can do?

Jiang Yulang, don't you forget!

-That lady just now-- -That lady

is asleep after taking the sleeping pills I gave her.

What's the matter? Are you hoping someone will save you?

Nobody will come for you even if you scream at the top of your lungs.

Jiang Yulang, don't touch me!

It's Ms. Tie?

Release me if you dare

and fight me fairly!

Let go of me! Don't touch me!

Are you not afraid of retribution?

Jiang Yulang, stop it! Let her go!

Jiang Yulang!

Let me go!

Just kill me! Don't touch me!

Kill you?

How can I bear to do that?

Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque like you so much.

They would be disappointed in me

if I don't enjoy you thoroughly.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me! Release me!

Let me go!

Don't touch me!

-Go away! -Let her go!

I don't want to kill anyone today.

Leave now.

Yes, right away.

Mr. Hua, why did you do that?

Why didn't you kill that scum?

I don't want to dirty my hands.

Mr. Hua.

I knew you would come and rescue me.

Mr. Hua is in danger himself.

He barely has any strength left.

Can't you tell?

Jiang Yulang, I don't wish to kill you.

Why must you seek your own death?

That's right.

I just want to seek my own death today.

Moreover,

I want you to watch as I lie with your beloved.

Hua Wuque.

Why don't you come closer?

Don't you possess Yihua Palace's unrivaled martial arts?

Or do you want to see me be intimate with your sweetheart?

Look at this tiny face.

It's such a pleasure to pinch her cheeks.

I can do as I please with her.

Let go!

Let her go.

Hua Wuque.

You can't frighten me.

I know you've been injured by Bai Shan and his wife.

You can't use your martial arts!

What? Is that true?

Hua Wuque, if you're injured, just leave!

Don't worry about me!

Are you not leaving?

It won't be that easy even if you want to.

I'm going to kill you!

Look at what you and Jiang Xiaoyu did to my hand!

I will have my revenge today!

You...

You're not injured?

How would such scoundrels be able to injure me?

Leave before I change my mind!

Yes, right away!

Don't stay here any longer, leave quickly.

Mr. Hua, I cannot thank you enough.

May we meet again.

Thank you.

If you hadn't come,

-I may have been-- -Enough.

Go.

What's wrong?

Are you really injured?

How could I be injured?

You look so pale and are walking with difficulty.

Don't put on a brave face.

Why don't you be honest with me?

I know this only happened to you because of me.

Because of you?

Ms. Tie, don't flatter yourself.

Why haven't you left yet?

Mr. Hua.

What is wrong?

What exactly happened?

Why can't you just stop talking? I told you to leave!

I know you wouldn't drive me away for no good reason!

There must be a reason. Tell me!

Why didn't you listen to me?

Why did you come to Lord Shan Residence?

You have brought me nothing but trouble since I met you.

If not for you, I would have killed Jiang Xiaoyu by now!

Then I wouldn't have angered my two aunts who raised me.

Tie Xinlan, you are a nuisance to me.

I never want to see you again.

Leave!

All right.

I have been a burden on you.

I will leave.

Let's rest here for a bit.

Then...

-Will they catch up to us? -Don't worry.

We've gotten very far.

Ms. Meng, I won't let anyone ever hurt you again.

With you by my side, I'll have nothing to fear.

What's wrong? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

I'll find some food for you.

This is so sweet! She'll love these.

Ms. Meng!

Ms. Meng.

Are you all right?

Ms. Meng?

Are you hurt?

Who are you?

Have you forgotten again?

I'm Hei Zhizhu.

"Hei Zhizhu"?

I've never heard of you.

Did you hit your head?

Is your illness acting up again?

Have some manners!

Ms. Meng.

Have you recovered your memories?

What Ms. Meng?

My name is Murong Jiu.

Who are you?

Why am I here?

I'm your friend.

I rescued you from evil people who were holding you captive.

It's true.

My name is on your arm.

LOVE HEI ZHIZHU

Why would something like this be on my arm?

You lost your memory because of some matters.

You were afraid you would forget me, so you wrote my name on your arm.

You've been wandering around for the past few months.

I've been protecting you.

You tended to my wounds and cooked for me in a hut by the flower field.

Those were the happiest of times.

We are the best of friends.

We are the best of friends?

Yes.

You protected me?

Yes.

I am the daughter of the Murong family.

Why would I have a friend like you?

You're a nobody with average skills and plain looks.

How could you protect me?

Ms. Meng.

-We-- -Listen up!

My name is Murong Jiu.

I don't know you!

End your delusions.

You're right.

I am unworthy of you.

You...

What are you going to do again?

Don't move and sit still.

You used your essential qi just now

and the gossamer needles have traveled deep inside your body.

I'll bring you to someone now

and ask this person to save you.

Otherwise, you will lose your life by the time the sun sets.

You set out to kill me. Why would you save me now?

That was my husband's idea. I had to obey him.

I know you are a good man.

You wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't tried to save me.

So I...

I feel very guilty.

My husband believes you have died,

so he had your body thrown into the mountains.

That's how I had the chance to secretly save you.

Do you think I will believe you?

I know you won't believe anything I say anymore,

but I am going to take you to Su Ying.

She is not like the Twelve Zodiac.

You can judge that for yourself.

You can decide what to believe.

Sir.

Be careful.

This is as far as I can go.

Whether Su Ying will save you, it all depends on your luck.

Xiaoyu'er.

What are you thinking about?

Your mind is truly baffling.

Lady, who were you talking to?

I live in seclusion.

Only the fish are willing to listen to me.

Why are you here, sir?

I came to seek an elder, Su Ying.

I am Su Ying.

You have traveled far to come here.

Please speak out if there's anything I can help.

It seems I've made a mistake.

Goodbye.

Sir, please wait.

You came here for a purpose, not by mistake.

However, after seeing that I'm a young lady,

you are very disappointed, right?

The one who guided me here was not a good person.

I'm afraid she was just fooling me.

I apologize for disturbing you.

I will not stop you if you insist on leaving.

But I must tell you that you won't be able to leave this valley.

Your heart meridian is about to be severed.

Your face already shows a deathly pallor.

There are only three people in this world who can save you,

and I am one of them.

The other two are far away.

If you do not value your life,

not even divine intervention will save you.

It seems that you don't receive many guests.

I know what you want to say.

You are my guest,

I should be offering you a seat and serving you tea.

I apologize for not serving tea,

but this ethereal stone milk can be served to guests in a pinch.

Even Zhuge Liang's wooden ox cannot compare to this ingenious device.

The wooden ox is best utilized during troop deployments.

Using that to serve guests would be a terrible waste of its potential.

Can the lamps be lit without having to do it yourself?

I am a lazy person,

so I naturally come up with lazy solutions.

See?

I can still do many things without moving from my seat.

In my opinion, pouring tea and lighting lamps myself

is much simpler than designing these elaborate contraptions.

Why would someone like me serve tea to others?

Why not employ a maid or servant?

I don't want to be sullied by their vulgarity.

Do you also not practice martial arts because of its vulgarity?

You are the second person

to know at a glance that I don't practice martial arts.

Hurry up and lie down.

You will lose your life by sunset.

If you care for your life,

you shouldn't have wasted time talking to me.

I have seen such elaborate contraptions.

Even if I die, it's worth it.

Are you truly not afraid of dying?

Death is inevitable. It's useless to be afraid of it.

Dying with these alpine flowers and fluffy clouds in view

would be a wonderful thing.

Drink this.

Lie down.

The medicine will make you feel better.

Su Ying, you do have your ways.

No matter how great a man is,

he becomes meek and obedient once he is with you.

Why are you here so soon?

Do you have doubts about me?

I know you are proud and arrogant,

so I'm here to beg a favor of you.

Please put aside your pride for a bit.

As soon as Mr. Hua reveals the secret to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm,

I'll kill him for you right away.

Do you want me to be more gentle with him,

flatter him, seduce him,

and it's even better to throw myself at him?

He will die soon anyway.

Would it matter if you let him have a little taste?

Besides, he is such a handsome fellow.

Su Ying, you won't suffer any loss.

You must have tried this on him.

Did he tell you anything?

That method is more likely to work on your husband.

Su Ying.

-But you are-- -With someone like him,

my method will be better at bringing him to heel.

With the way I'm treating him,

he will never expect that I want something from him.

Naturally, he will lower his guard against me.

Why else would I let him see that I don't know martial arts?

You know those foolish things aren't for me,

but I can still pass myself off as a great martial artist.

This is why I admire you the most.

Su Ying, your means are extraordinary indeed.

This is the last time I'm helping you.

Don't bother me with such matters again.

By this time tomorrow,

he'll have told me the secrets to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.

I'm famished!

I'm starving to death!

Devilish Girl.

If you're still not coming, I'm going to turn into a hungry ghost!

I'm starving!

I'm hungry!

I'm here.

What's the hurry?

I'm here, aren't I?

Hurry it up!

I know.

Why are you so late today?

I had a guest.

"A guest"?

Male or female?

Either way, it's none of your business.

If it is a man and he steals your heart,

I'll have to starve to death here.

Other than you, who else could steal my heart?

I like this saying.

But there really might be such a person.

Who?

He is the young master of Yihua Palace.

Elegant and graceful, and a fine scholar and martial artist.

You would be most fortunate if he steals you away.

Then...

Are you friends with him?

We could have been great friends.

But now,

we can only be enemies.

Do you feel better now?

My chest doesn't hurt as much anymore.

Thank you, lady.

Do not thank me yet.

Why?

The pain may have been alleviated,

but the two gossamer needles are still in your Heart Transporter Point.

I merely moved them a fraction with my medication.

That means

the pain will return as soon as I use my essential qi.

The poisoned needles are too deep.

Even a black stone cannot extract them.

You will have to force them out yourself with your inner energy.

Then,

do you have a way to let my essential qi flow unhindered?

Of course, I do.

If you tell me the key to how you cultivate your inner energy,

I can assist you by your side

to help you regulate your essential qi and force the needles out.

Do you think I would covet your martial arts?

You are an intelligent lady.

If you were the least bit interested in martial arts,

you would have already become a top martial artist.

I will just tell you.

Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.

Shifting of the constellations.

Gentle and soft exterior.

Firm and unyielding in truth.

Withdraw and substitute.

Shed and shift.

Seize moments and borrow power.

Evade attack and conceal talent.

You have an excellent memory. You didn't miss a word.

But I have to ask you to keep this secret to yourself.

You must not share it.

You must be afraid that others will learn it

and then Yihua Palace's standing will be affected.

This skill is infinitely powerful.

I'm afraid the unscrupulous will use it and bring disaster to the world.

Mr. Hua is an honest and upstanding man.

He is not an evil person.

Is deceiving him like this the right thing to do?

Su Ying, you're so punctual.

Su Ying.

You must have learned the secret to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.

That's right.

-Good! -Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

I didn't say I would tell you right now.

What do you mean?

Su Ying.

When do you plan on telling us?

Maybe in three to five days.

Maybe in a year.

Or maybe in ten years.

I'll tell you when I'm in a good mood.

Su Ying, well...

You must be joking, right?

If we have to wait ten years,

we will die of impatience.

That's your problem. It's not my concern.

You...

But you promised me yesterday.

What I promised you was

I would make Hua Wuque reveal the secret to Yihua Jade Swapping Palm,

but I didn't promise to tell you.

Well...

Su Ying, please wait.

You know I never take back what I say.

Yes.

We are in no hurry to learn Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.

But can you return Hua Wuque to us first?

Don't worry.

I won't let him go.

He won't get to see anyone else in his life.

Hey, Su Ying! You...

You're a girl. It must be an inconvenience to have a man in your house!

Didn't you say nothing would go wrong?

Didn't you say it was foolproof?

Where is Hua Wuque right now?

Where is he?

I didn't expect the girl would be so hard to deal with.

Save the pointless talk.

Our top priority now is to get Hua Wuque back!

She had already chased us away.

Who would dare go against her now?

Wei Wuya and my father only want Hua Wuque.

Why did you push for Yihua Jade Swapping Palm?

What if the girl releases Hua Wuque?

What then?

She has never seen him before.

Let him go in there and get Hua Wuque.

Even the two of you are afraid of displeasing her.

Do you want me to set me up?

Silly boy.

The girl doesn't have martial arts skills.

What are you afraid of?

I know you have a way with women.

And she happens to be at the age that one longs for love.

You might even be able to win her heart.

Who are you?

Why did you enter uninvited?

It was rude of me to trespass.

-I... -Since you're aware of that,

please leave immediately.

Wait, lady! Please save my life.

If you're sick, go and see a physician.

-Why do you come here? -There are many renowned physicians,

but most are not worthy of their fame.

If they were a fraction as skilled as you, I wouldn't be bothering you.

How do you know I can cure you?

It...

It was an elderly man who told me.

He saw my sickly state.

So, he advised me to seek your help.

Please don't leave, lady!

If you don't save me, I...

I will kneel here until I die!

You're such a nuisance.

Please don't leave!

Lady, please save my life.

If I leave, can't you follow me?

Did she already release Hua Wuque?

That can't be.

Bai Shan and his wife have been standing guard outside.

Hua Wuque must still be here.

Where are you not feeling well?

My stomach hurts terribly.

You don't seem to be in terrible pain.

How can I cry of pain in front of a lady?

With a lady as beautiful as a fairy in front of me,

any pain would fade away.

Your pain is relieved by just looking at me?

Then why would you need me to cure you?

If I could stay by your side, I wouldn't mind dying of pain.

It's just that...

It's just that...

Look at you. You're in so much pain.

Let me help you lie down.

Thank you, lady.

If you don't lie still, I won't treat you.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

Lady, please treat me.

It hurts so much.

Where does it hurt?

It hurts here.

It's so painful.

Yes, right there.

Do you feel better now?

Much better.

But you mustn't stop.

It'll hurt even more if you stop.

It's so painful!

Lady.

It's so painful!

This is the Qingling Painkiller that I made meticulously.

Not only can it relieve the pain, it will improve your health too.

Here.

Open your mouth.

I'll feed you.

Lie on the bed and wait for me.

I'll be back soon.

If you run away, I'll get angry.

Why are you laughing?

Not only can my illness be cured on my trip here,

but I have also found my beloved.

Of course I'm happy.

You're so happy.

Does that mean your stomach isn't painful?

It's painful.

Of course it's painful.

Lady, please rub my tummy for me.

Actually,

you were laughing at me for I am a fool.

I don't dare to think so.

Stop making fun of me, lady.

As I'm young,

you thought that I would get tricked easily.

You thought you were good at dealing with women

and with just some small tricks, you could make me throw myself at you

and hand Hua Wuque to you.

Right?

That's not true.

Plus, you knew that I don't practice martial arts.

If I didn't fall into your trap,

you could easily subdue me and take advantage of me by force.

Am I right?

You...

What did you feed me?

Goodness.

I'm sorry.

I think I took the wrong medicine.

What you ate was not Qingling Painkiller,

but the Inducer of All Kinds of Illness.

"Inducer of All Kinds of Illness"?

After taking the pill,

the condition of a sick person will deteriorate drastically.

A healthy person who takes the pill

will be diagnosed with all kinds of disease.

I beg you.

Please stop rubbing.

Please spare me.

You're in such bad shape.

How can I stop rubbing?

I'm not sick.

"Not sick"?

Why did you lie to me then?

I'm sick.

That's right.

Not only that you're sick,

you're sick as a dog.

It'll get worse.

In the end,

even a piece of paper that falls on your body

will put you in excruciating pain.

Ms. Su.

No, I mean Madam Su.

I...

I acknowledge your skill.

Please give me the antidote.

Please forgive me.

It's not a poison.

Hence, no antidote is available.

-What should I do? -No.

Ms. Su, you surely know what to do, right?

There must be a way.

There is indeed a way.

I'll cut your stomach open to retrieve the pill.

Cut my stomach open?

Are you kidding me?

It's a secret remedy handed down from my ancestors.

If your arm is in pain, chop it off.

If your leg is in pain, chop it off.

If your head is in pain, chop it off.

If your stomach is in pain, cut it open.

No!

No!

Now you should know

who the fool is, right?

I'm the fool.

I'm a fool.

A man broke into tears so easily.

How boring.

You should go down now.
