=Love Game in Eastern Fantasy=

=Episode 4=

I, Mu Sheng, swear to the heavens

that I've never stolen the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

If I tell lies, I will be struck by the lightning!

Miss Lin,

Liu Fuyi,

dare you take this curse?

Enough.

I suddenly remember that

last night, I stayed up with a candle,

reading the Mountain and Sea Map,

I accidentally fell asleep

and burned the map.

I threw the remaining into the pond.

I forgot.

Sister Mu.

Sister,

this is impossible.

I burned the Mountain and Sea Map.

I am feeling exhausted.

Everyone, please go back now.

(But Lin Yu is really nice.)

(I think)

(she should be my first bosom friend.)

(Even unreasonable troublemaking should have its limits.)

(Unreasonable troublemaking?)

(All I seek is the truth.)

Sister,

about today's matter,

why did you take it upon yourself?

We forget it

and don't pursue it any further?

Don't you know

why I don't pursue it?

Sister, what are you talking about?

Weren't you the one who stole the map?

Sister, you're suspecting me?

Fuyi has been in seclusion these days.

Moreover, he doesn't even know

that the map is with me.

The persons who have the opportunity to steal the map

only include you and Miss Lin.

Miss Lin is an outsider.

But you are different.

You know all my secrets.

Moreover, you oppose my pursuit of the Resentful Woman,

fearing that I kick against the pricks.

You wish I would never find the map,

never find the Resentful Woman, right?

Yes.

I'm afraid you'd be hurt by the Resentful Woman, but…

The Resentful Woman kills living beings and commits numerous evil deeds.

I have sworn to kill her,

even at the cost of my life.

For the public good,

it is to fulfill the duties of Demon Catchers.

In private,

it is to seek family annihilation revenge.

None of these is important,

and you don't care, do you?

That's right.

Other living beings or duties

have nothing to do with me.

But your enemies are mine, too.

You can make baseless accusations to

partners who shared life and death with us.

My parents

are not your biological parents.

How could you care about their death?

So, in your heart,

this is what you have always thought.

You are so mischievous.

What's your difference from a demon?

You've always been wise,

and I…

only follow your lead.

I don't like to argue with you.

Since you think I am the real thief,

I am the real thief.

(Should I confess?)

(Mu Sheng will definitely kill me.)

(If he kills me, so be it.)

(It's a small matter.)

It's like this…

Friendly reminder:

The ten-day protection period has ended.

From now on,

the plot cannot be reverted or restarted.

The host's death in the plot of this book

will be true death.

Please cherish life.

Be cautious all the time.

Young Master Mu,

Sister Mu,

in the middle of the night,

you must be parched from all that arguing.

How about I get you something to drink?

I see.

Originally, I thought

I should stand in front of you to protect you.

Now it seems…

you don't need me anymore.

It's me who is blocking your path.

(Mu Sheng's Heart Lake)

Young Master Mu,

Young Master Mu,

I accidentally overheard

what you said to your sister.

Young Master Mu, wait for me.

I know you were speaking out of anger.

The person who burned the map wasn't you.

What about…

I go and explain it to Sister Mu for you?

Why should you explain it to my sister?

Don't say she merely suspects me.

Even if she wants to kill me,

it's none of your business.

I…

Young Master Mu,

am I trying to help you?

I believe you

and I know

you would never do anything

that would hurt your sister.

Don't pretend to know me.

I don't really know you,

but I think we have a connection.

Maybe we can have a good chat.

I said so much, at least respond to me.

I don't talk to dead people.

Miss Lin, eat more what you like recently.

(I can't afford to anger him.)

System task has been updated.

Now is announcing the hidden task.

Please conquer character Mu Sheng

before killing the Resentful Woman,

making him treat you his true love,

otherwise, the host will never return to the real world.

Conquer him?

True love!

Are you playing with me?

The successful conquering is

character Mu Sheng's favorability towards you

reaches one hundred percent.

So,

how much does he feel about me now?

Friendly reminder:

character Mu Sheng's favorability towards you is

negative two hundred percent.

According to the current situation,

it will trigger the plot that

Mu Sheng kills your entire family.

Darn it.

He hates me that much?

System,

is it that you have made a mistake?

What did I do?

He is just that narrow-minded.

Is it necessary?

I just asked him to peel grapes,

and give me a shoulder massage,

complained about him in front of his sister,

intended to

hurt his sister,

tore the talisman,

changed the medicine,

and burned his sister's map.

Alright, I admit it.

I did some despicable things.

But I was forced to do them.

I had no choice.

Besides,

he can't just wipe out an entire family easily.

What should I do?

Alright, I got it.

Stop appearing!

However, the extermination of the County Magistrate's family

is truly tragic when thinking about it.

(Maintain Integrity)

Young Master Liu,

my daughter is innocent.

Please take her away.

No, no, Dad!

- Go! - No!

Hurry up!

- No! - Go!

Hurry up!

Dad!

- Dad! Dad! - Daughter, go now!

Dad! Dad!

Go!

Dad!

Dad!

Go!

Go!

(The County Magistrate embezzled from the National Treasury)

(and was exposed.)

(Imperial Capital's Secret Envoy Ji De slaughtered his entire family.)

(Lin Yu was the only one survived.)

(Imperial Capital's Secret Envoy Ji De)

Miss,

we finally found you.

You are so young.

Why don't you leave quickly?

Leave?

Where are we going?

Anywhere is fine.

What about…

you take out your indentures.

We'll burn them.

Miss, you want to drive us away?

I didn't mean that.

What I mean is,

if one day my family faces a disaster,

you won't be innocently implicated.

Miss, what are you thinking about?

We won't leave.

Yes.

I am serious.

We are serious, too.

Miss,

you asked us not to refer to ourselves as maids,

not to kneel before you,

and you even asked us to sit down and eat together with you,

we've never encountered such a master.

Even if the Lin Mansion is in trouble,

we will not leave.

Yes.

Me, too.

Why are you all so stubborn?

Forget it.

I'll go back to sleep first.

My head hurts.

Miss.

(Serenity and Far-reaching)

Be slowly.

Watch your step.

What's all the noise outside?

Let's go and check it out.

Slow down.

Watch your hands.

Alright.

Dad.

Dad, this is…

Dear,

sit.

Dear,

I heard

you've always been hanging out

with the Demon Catchers these days

and show great interest in magic arts.

So,

I took action

and bought a few good things

to make you happy.

How about that?

Impressive, right?

Yes.

There is talisman magic in here.

The wick lights up following a sound.

It lights up when there is sound.

(Voice-controlled Lamp?)

You haven't seen it before, right?

Yes. I never see it.

Look at this.

This is cold-jade cabinet.

There is ice magic cast by a Demon Catcher.

No matter how scorching it is outside,

the inside remains as cold as an ice cellar.

(Refrigerator.)

Fruits, vegetables, and flower wine will be more refreshing

if placed inside.

It's rare, isn't it?

Yes, very rare.

Let me show you another magical item.

(This must be the electric fan.)

This is cloud-blowing treasure plate.

It is indeed a good item.

Look, it doesn't need human power.

It can bring gentle breeze.

Dad, how much does this cost?

Not expensive,

only eight hundred taels.

Eight hundred taels?

That refrigerator,

no,

how much is this cold-jade cabinet?

Only three thousand taels.

But,

every two or three months,

a Demon Catcher needs to come to infuse spiritual power.

The remuneration for each visit

is fifteen taels.

Wan,

how much is your salary each month?

Miss.

Two taels.

Yes.

Two taels.

Dad,

you're a bit too wasteful.

(Considering he embezzled so much money,)

(he's exposed by Mu Sheng.)

(He deserves to be beheaded.)

What waste?

No waste.

As long as you are happy.

Even if you want the moon in the sky,

I will buy it back for you.

I don't like these things anymore.

Refund them. I don't want them anymore.

This…

Dear,

didn't you love most

the extremely expensive things?

But I don't like them anymore.

What's so great about being expensive?

Dad,

I just hope you can live well

and always stay by my side safely.

This…

You…

Well, am I

staying well by your side?

(Don't worry, Dad,)

(this time, I won't lose you again.)

Who?

It's me.

Young Master Mu,

I heard from the servants

that you had nightmares these days.

So I specifically asked the chef to

make some calming herbal soup for you.

I bring it over to you.

It's okay.

You can let it cool down before drinking.

You still dare to come.

This is my home.

I came to see you with good intentions.

Why should I be afraid?

Putting more fresh flowers in the room

helps to relax the mind.

Young Master Mu,

I beg you, please spare my Dad.

I know

you suspected that I stole the map,

which caused Sister Mu to suspect you.

So you feel sad

and want to vent your anger.

Killing me alone is not enough.

You also want to kill my entire family, right?

You're overthinking.

I also know that

you want to manipulate the accountant

to report my Dad.

If the County Magistrate's ledger is sent back to the Capital City,

I am merely upholding justice,

eliminating a pest.

What does this have to do with my sister?

Moreover,

what if my sister doesn't believe me?

I don't care at all.

According to your temperament,

if you truly want to uphold justice,

you can rely on yourself

to kill the entire Lin family in an instant.

There is no need to rely on the imperial court.

What you are doing means

you care about Sister Mu's opinion of you.

You don't want her to think you are cruel,

and be disappointed in you.

So you went through such a big roundabout way.

Noisy!

Young Master Mu,

don't go.

I... I know you…

I know you feel wronged.

But if more people

die because of you,

your sister… will be even more disappointed in you.

Do you see it?

He threatens to kill my whole family,

but I haven't argued much with him.

He was about to kill me.

If I hadn't run quickly,

I would have lost my life.

Lin Yu,

I am so sorry.

I will discipline him properly.

Sister Mu,

why are you apologizing?

It's not your fault.

This is all Mu Sheng's fault.

Sheng has been like this since childhood.

When my father punished him before,

as long as he yielded,

he could avoid much suffering.

But he was beaten all over his body,

even being beaten unconscious, he didn't surrender.

Others said he was strange, weird,

unruly and irritable.

He was ungrateful.

But actually he…

He is just an ungrateful wretch.

Sister Mu,

no wonder everyone hates him.

He only brings you trouble.

Anyway, he was just adopted,

not your biological brother.

Why don't you ditch him?

So as not to cause you any trouble.

Lin Yu,

Sheng is my only relative.

What does mere blood relation matter?

As long as he is there,

even if there is only a roof,

that is my home.

Even if he hurt you,

harmed you,

burned your Mountain and Sea Map,

you still wouldn't give up on him?

Sheng and I depended on each other since childhood,

he is my younger brother.

Lin Yu,

you don't understand because you don't have siblings.

No matter what Sheng has done,

no matter what others say about him,

I will never give up on him.

Sister Mu, you are so generous!

You are amazing.

I'll be leaving first.

Isn't my idea great?

After hearing your sister's heartfelt words,

do you feel a bit happier?

You siblings are the same,

loving to talk tough,

but you don't mean it.

It's no different from being real siblings.

How about it?

Has his favorability towards me

been greatly improved?

(Isn't he a siscon?)

(I did so much for him,)

(why didn't he change his attitude?)

(If this continues, my entire family will be exterminated.)

Miss, is there something troubling you?

I urgently need a

strategy guide to deal with him.

How can I improve his favorability

towards me quickly?

Wan, Huayi, come here.

Have you ever been in love?

What I mean is,

have you ever

had a mutual affection with someone else?

There are rules:

Servants cannot overstep our bounds.

Have a seat.

Sit.

Relax.

I just want you two to

give me some ideas.

What do you think is the best way to

make someone quickly fall for you?

Miss, do you have a beloved?

Of course not.

I work not because I like working.

I am forced.

Let's put it this way.

I have a friend.

She, due to some reason,

has to make someone who doesn't like her at all

and even hates her

change his attitude towards her,

improve his impression and even start to like her.

Do you have any efficient and quick methods?

Tricks are okay, too.

The more effective

and the sooner, the better.

Although I don't understand,

we can think about it.

It seems Miss has already fallen deeply in love,

unable to extricate herself.

With whom?

Who else could it be?

Of course Young Master Liu.

That's it, Miss.

Isn't the Moon Appreciation Festival approaching?

(Moon Appreciation Festival)

(is a fictional festival in the book,)

(similar to the Lantern Festival.)

Then what?

You can pray to Goddess Mei at the Lantern Festival.

Yes.

If you win the top prize at the Lantern Festival,

you can fly the first Unity Lantern

of the year with the person you admire.

That was the most auspicious.

Goddess Mei?

(I know the Goddess Mei.)

(She's the goddess of love in the novel.)

(She governs marriage and relationships,)

(equivalent to the matchmaker.)

(As for this Lantern Festival…)

Let's invite this year's Lantern King to light the lantern!

- Good! - Good!

What a perfect couple!

Yes.

So beautiful!

- Such a perfect match! - So good-looking.

They truly are a perfect match.

Indeed.

So beautiful.

Are you two from another province?

You might not be familiar with the customs in Taicang County.

On this night, you light lanterns together,

and pray for the blessing of Goddess Mei,

you will be able to stay together

and never separate.

The first lantern of the year is the most effective.

(This segment)

(seems to be a romantic scene between them,)

(but next…)

Good!

Good!

It's flying!

- So beautiful. - Yes, indeed.

So beautiful.

- They match so well. - Yes, indeed.

(Taicang County Granary)

- Fire! - Fire!

Firefighting!

Firefighting!

Why is the Rice Granary empty?

Go check quickly.

- Yes. - Yes.

How did this catch fire?

Look, it's empty!

- The granary is empty. - How could it be?

Where did our silver go?

- It's gone! - What should we do now?

Yeah, why is everything gone?

How did everything disappear?

I'm in a bad mood tonight.

I'll kill a pest

to sacrifice to Heaven.

No, I must prevent such things

from happening.

Miss.

Dad, the Lantern Festival

must not be held,

okay?

So let's go to the Lantern Festival together.

Dear,

what did you say just now?

I said,

let's talk privately.

I said, this Lantern Festival is held every year.

It lacks creativity.

How about we don't hold it this year?

The weather is dry.

It's prone to catching fire.

This is an annual grand event

of Taicang County.

We've been preparing one or two months ago.

The people are all waiting.

How can we cancel it now?

And it needs to be held grandly.

But…

Huayi already told me.

Don't worry,

I have arranged everything for you.

I promise

I will let you, my dear daughter,

completely satisfied.

What arrangements are you making, Dad?

Did you have a misunderstanding?

Don't be shy.

I'm not shy.

With me around,

it's certain.

Regarding the Lantern Festival,

please do honor us with your presence.

(Go back and tell the master:)

(Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map has been destroyed.)

(I have no reason to)

(approach the Mu siblings.)

(I'll return to Liaoran Valley soon)

(to report to master.)

(Liu Fuyi in the book)

(can't be considered a complete scoundrel.)

(But he is indecisive and hesitant,)

(constantly wavering between love and his master's orders,)

(in the end, he still chooses to hurt Mu Yao.)

(This kind of leading actor)

(and this romantic subplot)

(are hated by everyone.)

(From emotional, reasonable,)

(public and private aspects,)

(today's plot)

(must be modified.)

Find the most beautiful clothes

and the most impressive jewelry for me.

At tomorrow night's Lantern Festival,

I will amaze everyone.

Miss, what do you want to do?

(I'll compete with Mu Yao for the leading actor.)

Sister.

Sheng,

come to help me.

Which one looks better on me?

This one?

Looks good.

How about this one?

Also looks good.

This one?

You look good in anything.

Why don't you give me some advice?

You've always preferred quiet over noise,

and you are not keen on makeup and dressing up.

Tomorrow's Lantern Festival

seems to be very important for you.

Of course.

I don't like crowded places,

but if there is someone important,

I will surely keep accompanying.

(Sister still remembers)

(her promise to me when I was seven.)

(She'll accompany me to the Lantern Festival.)

It's the first time accompanying my close friend on an outing,

I don't know what to wear.

So,

I'll go check out the clothing store.

It's her again.

Lin Yu.

- Great! - Great!

(Lantern Festival)

Great!

It's so lively.

Sister Mu,

your outfit today looks really nice.

Really?

Yes.

Oh my, this outfit and its colors,

and this shawl

match your headpiece perfectly!

I specifically bought this dress

to match this.

You did that?

Did you do your makeup yourself today?

You are so talented!

I only taught you once,

and you did such a great job.

This eyeshadow looks sophisticated and natural.

I knew you would praise me.

I practiced for a long time yesterday.

Really?

What about me?

You look very nice, too.

This outfit is dazzling

and eye-catching.

Thank you, Sister Mu.

Look over there.

What are they talking about?

I can't understand.

But I'm angry.

Another fire is coming.

You two

look festive and auspicious today.

Auspicious?

Festive?

What season is it now?

You carry a fan.

So pretentious.

Are you thirsty?

(I can't forget my main task.)

(As long as I ruin the romantic scene between them tonight,)

(the people who fly the Unity Lantern together)

(are not Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao,)

(Mu Sheng's mood wouldn't be bad.)

(The warehouse wouldn't catch fire.)

(If the warehouse doesn't catch fire,)

(my Dad wouldn't be dead.)

Brother Liu,

Brother Liu,

I heard that the person who won the most

can become the Lantern King,

and win a big prize.

Why don't we…

Lin Yu,

do you want to be the Lantern King?

If we play together, we can definitely win.

But I want to go with Liu…

There is a pitch-pot.

Let's go and take a look.

Ten coins for a pot of arrows!

- The one who hits the most wins. - Excuse me, please make way.

Come and try your luck!

It's very cheap. Cost-effective.

Boss, the County Magistrate's daughter is coming.

Almost.

The County Magistrate has instructed us

- not to let Miss Lin be disappointed. - Look at that.

I think tonight's Lantern King

is definitely Miss Lin.

If we make Miss Lin happy,

the County Magistrate will reward us generously.

- Come on, hurry up. - Boss.

Boss.

Two Misses,

come try your luck.

- Okay. - One pot, please.

Sister.

So accurate.

Sister.

Impressive!

Hit again!

Sister,

I will definitely catch up with you.

Look.

Sister.

Lin Yu,

do you want to try it too?

- It's very easy. - Great.

No.

I'm too clumsy.

Brother Liu, can you teach me?

- Come on. - Okay.

I'll teach you.

Okay.

Listen, stand firmly.

Hold it steady.

Look at the edge of that pot.

Do you see it?

- Got it. - Come on, you try it.

Okay.

Boss, are you alright?

No, Sister Mu, I'm too clumsy.

I'm really not good at this.

You play with Young Master Mu.

I'll ask Brother Liu to teach me.

Congratulations, Miss.

Congratulations.

You have won this round.

This is the colored note you have won.

Why?

She didn't hit a single target.

- Well… - Yes.

Because she hit the hidden bullseye,

her score is ten times that of an ordinary winner.

She won.

Young Master.

- Is that right? - Yes.

That's great.

Lin Yu, we won.

Here, take this.

There are more fun things. Let's go check it out.

- Okay. - Go.

There are some arrows left.

Shall we finish them all?

Sister.

Refund, please.
