~ Episode 5 ~
Your Majesty, Yanjiao Town is up ahead.
Remember, when we are in town you can't call me Your Majesty.
This...
You just call me Master Shang.
You are Butler Cao.
Yes.
Hey, old man.
Can I just ask a few things?
How do we get to Casual Guests' Inn in this town?
The two of you should first enter the town
then just follow this main road.
You will see the sign for Casual Guests' Inn not that far down.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Older Bro Fei! Older Bro Fei!
Older Bro Fei!
Older Bro Fei! Older Bro Fei!
You can't die like this, can you?
Older Bro Fei! You can't leave me all by myself! You can't leave me all by myself!
Older Bro Fei! Don't die! Don't die!
You're the one that's dead.
Aiya!
Older Bro Fei! I knew you wouldn't die that easily.
You won't leave me by myself easily.
You're the one that's dead!
Can't you be a little more gentle?
It's broken. It's broken.
I really thought I couldn't see you again.
Stop.
We two were born under a lucky star.
We won't die that easily.
It's fine. It's fine.
Hey! Hey!
Why are these clouds so low?
Older Bro Fei! I suddenly feel... I have altitude sickness.
Is it better?
All better.
The air is quite thin.
What kind of place is this?
Did you see Zi Su anywhere?
No.
Let's go find her.
Zi Su!
Lord Ke, everyone is dead
except these three.
Bring the three that are alive back.
Yes, sir.
Come over here! Take these three back.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Guests, are you here for a room or food?
Server, let these horses eat the best food.
- Yes, of course. Please come inside. - Okay.
Please come in, you two.
Here. Please take a seat.
Is this Casual Guests' Inn?
Yes.
Server, leave these two guests for me to serve.
You go prepare some good tea.
Yes.
May I know how to address you two?
This...
This is our Master Shang.
I'm his butler, last name Cao.
My name is Qian Xun. I'm the lady boss of this inn.
Oh, right. What would you two like to eat?
Do you have any good dishes here?
We have good dishes specially made for important guests.
Don't worry. I guarantee that you'll be very satisfied after you eat.
Server, prepare some good dishes!
Lady Boss, I want to ask.
If you have encountered a young man and woman.
That young man is about this tall with the capital accent.
That young woman...
These two guests...
It's not like I have something to hide from you.
Even though this inn is small,
I have a few hundred guests coming and going each day.
You ask me to remember everyone's height, look and accent.
I wouldn't even be able to even if I had 10 heads.
- Isn't that right? - Right.
Where am I?
Why are there so many butterflies?
Zhan Xiong Fei!
Yuan Shuai.
Zhan Xiong Fei!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
Zhan Xiong Fei!
Yuan Shuai!
Zhan Xiong Fei!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
Zi Su!
Yuan Shuai!
Zhan Xiong Fei!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
This way.
Please wait a bit.
Let me clean up the room first.
Okay.
Your Majesty, the Lady Boss must know something.
She seems experienced in these matters.
She doesn't let anything slip while testing us.
You say... what should we do now?
Your Majesty, what are you looking for?
- Look. - This is...
Bai Ze and the other must have been here.
This is the secret signal they agreed with me to set.
Here, Lady Boss.
Our two guests.
This is our self-brewed light wine. Here is some for you to try.
Thank you.
I apologize for earlier.
There were too many people outside and it's not convenient to talk.
I guess you two came from the Palace, right?
Why do you say that?
Even though you two are in disguises
to hide your identities.
But the horses you ride exposed your identities.
According to my knowledge, for these purple bloodline horses,
there are no more than 10 of them in the world.
Thousands of gold are easy to find, but a good horse is hard to come by.
Only royalty have these kinds of horses.
A lot of horse lovers can't get to see them in their life time.
But right now, two of them suddenly showed up.
And they were riden on by whatever people.
You guess. What would I think?
Very good!
Lady Boss is really observant.
You have my admiration.
So you have admitted to your identity, haven't you?
Since you've seen through us, we won't hide it any more.
That's right. We are from the palace.
You have to keep this a secret.
We only have one goal for coming out here.
That is to find one eunuch and palace maid that ran away.
That's right, Lady Boss.
If you have any information on them, please let me know.
Butler Cao.
There are thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
But you have to go all the way out here just to run after two who escaped.
This...
For me, I just want to run my business in peace.
Everything else, I don't know.
Like I won't tell anyone else about your identities.
Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us!
Peasants! Lord Ke Tu has brought some offerings for us.
These offerings will bring us rain water and sweet dew.
We won't be short of drinking water this time!
Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us! Sand God Bless Us!
Zi Su!

Where are they?
It's very painful! I surrender! I surrender!
Alright. Disarm yourself and surrender.
- Let's sit down and negotiate. - Sit down.
So, the one who was tailing us is a little kid!
It's clearly you who are a little kid.
You're dressed like this. Aren't you looking quite strange?
It's clearly you two who are dressed strangely.
Why did you tail us?
It's because I've never seen people dressed like you two.
Are you from the outside?
We... Just don't bother about us.
- What is your name? - My name is Shi Tou.
- Shi Tou? It's a good name. - Shi Tou? It's a good name.
Then, Little Kid, where is your house?
I already said I'm not a little kid. My name is Shi Tou!
My house is over there!
- Then, Little Kid, did you see an older sister wearing white clothing? - Right. Right. Right.
I already said I'm not Little Kid. I'm Shi Tou! I didn't see.
- Then, Little Kid, do you know... - Then, Little Kid...
I'm not going to pay attention to you two!
I already said I'm not Shi Tou. I'm Little Kid!
- So, are you Little Kid or Shi Tou? - Forget it, Yuan Shuai.
Let's go and find Zi Su.
Once we find Zi Su, we'll go that way to their village.
Let's go.
Come. Come. Come. Your wine's here.
- Okay. Good. - Good.
Hey, hey, boss lady.
- Come. Come. - Come and drink a cup!
All of you, please drink.
How about this? This meal is my treat, okay?
- No. Do you think we've no money? - That's right.
- Come, have a glass! - I don't mean it that way.
Come. Come.
- I don't want to drink! - Just drink up!
I don't want to drink. I really don't want to drink today.
- Just drink it. - I don't want to drink!
Hurry up and get lost!
- Don't go! - Hey!
Don't go!
You still haven't paid!
Come back!
I told you that I will come back to get my zither.
Can you now give me back my zither?
And also, I'm hungry already.
Make me one bowl of noodles.
I'm going to stay here tonight.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Hurry and hide. There is an assassin outside.
It wouldn't be Qian Yi Shou, right?
Guest, here please.
Why is he here?
Could it be that Bai Ze and the others are nearby?
No matter what, we can't be seen by him.
- Hurry. - Let's go.
Misters, please wait.
I have disturbed you, you two.
Looks like tonight, I'll be staying adjacent to your room.
It can be treated as us being fated.
I am then just giving you two my greetings.
Fated.
Indeed, someone we are fated to meet.
Then may I ask if you two have eaten?
- We've eaten. - We haven't eaten yet.
Then have you eaten or not eaten exactly?
- Haven't eaten. - Have eaten.
Then no matter if you two have eaten or haven't eaten yet,
may you two give me respect and eat with me later.
- This... - Sure!
Since we are fated to meet, then let's eat some.
- Come, let's go. - Okay.
Server! Prepare the food.
Okay. Wait for a while.
Leader, please sit down.
You all! Haven't you seen the new Leader?!
Aren't you still going to hurry and bow down!
Respectfully greet Leader!
Qiang En, once I've ascended the throne, you surely will get a share.
Thank you, Leader.
Ke Tu!
Your sitting on that seat now is a bit too early.
So here you're, Aunt Yan, the mighty prophet of our tribe.
Oh, it's like this. We brought home three sacrifices today and wanted Leader Wind Calmer to take a look.
I think that you surely know where he is.
Leader Wind Calmer has fallen into an unconscious state again earlier.
He won't be able to look at your sacrifices today.
Then, that's too bad.
Aunt Yan, adding the sacrifices this time,
the sacrifices I offered have already surpassed Leader Wind Calmer.
Based on our tribe's rules, shouldn't I...
The predictions have already said
that the new leader will bring water.
After this sacrificial ceremony,
Blood Fog Forest will surely bring us rain dew.
The predictions said that the new leader will completely solve the water problem forever
and it's not just as simple as having one episode of rain.
Fine. Fine. Such a good prediction.
I understand now. Just you wait.
I will surely solve the problems that you raised just to create trouble for me.
Let me tell you.
I am currently the only one capable of leading the Sandmen Tribe.
Other than me,
do you still have other choices?
We will soon know.
Where is this place?
Who is there?
So it's a little kid.
Hey! Little kid!
How come it's so strange today?!
Let me say it again. My name is Shi Tou. I am not Little Kid!
Okay. Okay.
Little Shi Tou, I have a question I want to ask.
Little Shi Tou, do you know what place this is?
Were there two men that passed by here?
How... How... How do I get out? Do you know?
Don't kill me!
What are you saying? Who is going to kill you?
- Little Shi Tou! - Don't kill me!
- Don't run! - Don't follow me!
Stop right there!
Don't kill me!
Stop right there! Don't run!
Don't kill me!
- Hey, Little Shi Tou! - Don't kill me!
Don't kill me!
I finally caught you.
Then, sirs, please.
Please. Please. Please.
Not bad. Not bad.
Why aren't you two moving your chopsticks?
This...
We naturally just eat a little.
Then may I ask what you two usually do?
This... That...
Let me say it.
That...
This...
The two of them are an uncle-nephew pair.
His daughter-in-law got kidnapped.
His uncle then helped him chase after her up to here.
Also a pair of miserable people.
Lady Boss... right.
To tell you the truth,
my uncle and I traveled here is really too tragic.
It's all that bitch's fault!
I must catch her and take her back.
I'm full.
I have to go rest now.
I am also full. Right.
- This... - Hey, Uncle, do you want to go to the bathroom?
My uncle is used to taking strolls after eating.
Okay then. Thank you for this meal.
I'll first accompany my uncle to go outside.
Enjoy your meal. Enjoy your meal.
Here, Uncle. Uncle.
Oh, my...
Your Majesty.
Where are our horses?
Hey! Where are the horses?
Where are the horses?!
Why are you two just leaving?
Lady Boss, what a tourist trap you have here?
How can these two lively horses just disappear out of the blue?
You guys were riding such expensive horses.
If no thief will be interested in them, that would be strange.
If mine is a tourist trap,
would I have helped you two earlier?
Hey...
Stop arguing already.
We must leave immediately before Qian Yi Shou realizes it.
Qian Yi Shou?
Do you two know him?
Who really are you two?
We don't have the time to explain things to you anymore.
Hurry and tell us.
What way can we safely leave here?
You can just walk along this road.
You probably will meet a group of refugees passing by.
Mix in within them and leave.
What is a group of refugees?
You really are someone from the Palace.
You don't know how that the citizens are suffering and starving.
Refugees are those people who beg for food everywhere and
go places where they can find something to eat.
Isn't that just a beggar group?
How come there are still so many people now without food to eat?
Master Shang, let's go quickly.
Thank you.
I saw that two people earlier were scared and panicky, having this unusual expression on their faces.
They must be hiding something.
What is their background?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Moreover, you carry such a heavy murderous aura,
who isn't scared upon seeing you?
Fine. You refuse to say, is that it?
Hey!
She won't say it.
You say it.
I'll say. I'll say.
Lady Boss said that they are from the Palace.
My guess was indeed right.
Really so useless.
Come, drink wine. Drink. Drink.
Come. Eat some vegetables.
Eat. Eat. Eat. Come. Come. Drink alcohol. Fill it up. Fill it up.
Eat more. Bottoms up. Come, one more round.
A Ji Ya, Ma Da Dao, are you two okay?
Where is this?
Weren't we earlier still at Bloody Fog Forest?
How come we're here now?
All are gold. Look, they are all gold.
Hey, buddy! Do you guys still want this? If you don't, just give them to me.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Shut up.
The thing that is valuable here is not gold,
but every drop of water.
This is also the most precious.
That's why, you better just save your saliva.
Hey, I can give you water in exchange. I have lots of it.
Can you give this to me?
Let me tell you. What Princess Zi Su said is indeed true.
This place is a gold mine.
The people in this tribe most likely look at gold like manure.
If you put this in our place, everyone would have become rich. Do you believe?
Hey, did you two notice?
The gold here are crude ones that were just mined.
They seemed to be ignorant about processing these into pure gold.
Let's not care about that.
Let me tell you. They don't understand but we do.
Let's just transport these to another place and refine them ourselves. The gold mine here...
Hey, isn't it that my Star Chart
can locate the gold mine?
Where is the Star Chart?
Where did the Star Chart go?
Did you take it?
It's not with me. Where did you place it?
Was it you who took it?
Eh?
Zhan Xiong Fei...
I won't let you off!
Since the matter has already come to this,
I'll be honest then.
Those two things are not really treasure maps.
There are no treasures.
What lies are you saying?
This is a gold mine. You want to take everything.
Isn't it?
I don't want any treasures nor gold.
I just want to immediately leave here.
Don't know where Zhan Xiong Fei and the others are now.
Zi Su!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
Zi Su!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
- Hey... - What's wrong?
There's the smell of meat.
I've been starving the whole day and we now finally have something to eat!
Wow! What a big piece of meat!
Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Yuan Shuai, don't you find it strange?
The houses here are all on top of trees.
So what?
Didn't you hear what Thirteenth Older Sis mentioned before?
What thing
will live on top of trees?
Oh, right, right, right. I did. I did.
Didn't you hear the story teller say
that you shouldn't randomly eat things here?
Monsters...
What was that I touched earlier?!
Who's there?!
Hurry and go.
Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai, wake up.
Just stay here for a while.
Hey! I'm here!
Chase! Stop right there!
- They really are chasing me! - Stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop right there! Don't run!
Stop right there! Hurry!
Hurry and chase after him!
Stop! Stop right there!
You all... just attack at the same time.
Woah! Why did you directly attack?
He can actually talk.
And also... the clothes he is wearing are so funny.
So strange. He is a monster.
- Monster! Monster! - You are the monster!
The monster even knows how to get angry.
So funny.
Come. Take him!
Come. Attack!
Really...
Where are they?
Let go of me!
You all let go of me!
Let go!
Your Majesty, hurry and leave this place.
This is not a place where we can stay long.
Stop right there!
A rich looking-master and-servant pair have come.
Where are you two from?
Buddy, I can see that this clothing of yours is quite not bad.
How about letting me borrow it for two days?
Put your hand down!
Stay far away.
There's even someone here trying to play strong.
Buddies, remove their clothes!
Don't! Don't! Don't pull my clothes!
- Hurry and take it off! Take it off! - What are you doing?
- Hand it over already. - What are you doing?!
- No. - Hand it over! Remove this, too.
- Loosen your grip! - Okay. Remove everything!
No! Stop pulling our clothes!
Loosen your grip! Let go!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Even if I risk my life,
I will protect Your Majesty.
- Give that back! - No!
- Give the clothes back to us! - No!
I know that you are loyal to me.
Then, Your Majesty, what should we do now?
Right now... Right now...
Let's go back to Casual Guests' Inn.
It wasn't easy that we were able to escape from there. We're still going back?
Or else, what should we do?
Right now, we don't have horses.
Could it be you really want me to use my two legs?
Then Qian Yi Shou...
I've already decided. I'm going to gamble it.
I'm betting that this Qian Yi Shou
would never think that we would still dare to go back.
Hey...
I hid some gold.
How is it?
Your Majesty, this thing can hurt your feet and you even ran such a long road.
I have to run for my life.
- Qian Yi Shou... He really just won't go away. He's here again... - You...
Don't you...
Catch!
Gold! He stole my gold!
Did you guys see it? Gold!
- Everyone! Let's steal form him! - Don't run! Hey! - Stop right there! Give that to me!
Hey! Don't run!
- Hey! Hey! - Where? Hurry and bring it out!
- What are you doing?! - Hurry and find that gold!
Let me go!
You let go of me!
Who is he?
Replying to Village Chief, this is a monster we caught in the forest.
- Hey, you are the monster! - Shut up!
He isn't a monster.
He is just wearing strange clothing and looks like a monster.
- Let go of me! Let go of me! - You go change his strange clothes.
Give him clean and normal clothing.
Bring him to my place.
- I have something to ask him. - Yes.
- Go! - Hey, what are you doing?
Okay already. Enough already.
I can change clothes on my own, let me tell you.
Don't... Enough already...
Aiya...
Respectfully greeting Your Majesty!
I was late in escorting Your Majesty. Hope Your Majesty can forgive me.
Lord Ding learned of Your Majesty touring in disguise.
He sent me to especially protect you.
I actually am touring in disguise.
Right now, since everyone already knows about it,
the purpose of this tour has also been lost.
- Eunuch Cao - Here. - Let's return to the palace!
What else are you still doing?
Aren't you going to hurry and find Your Majesty some good clothing?
Yes.
Little Shi Tou... Little Shi Tou...
Little Shi Tou!
Hurry, hurry and rise. Hurry and rise.
So high!
How are we going to go up?
Little Shi Tou!
Why are you bleeding a lot?
Is it painful?
What to do?
How come a serious injury earlier just suddenly healed?
How come you are like Zhan Xiong Fei?
Do you think that this is strange?
I have always been like this since I was little.
Always been like this?
That's right. Not only me,
all the people in our village are like this.
One time, when the uncle adjacent to our house was cutting logs,
his hand got bitten off by a bear.
The next day, it already grew back.
How is that possible?
Why are you being surprised with such ordinary things?
Could it be that you are not like this?
I am not.
Big Sister, you being that strange,
could it be that you are a monster?
I am a monster?
You are the monster.
You surely are a monster.
- You are the monster. You are the monster. - You are a monster.
- You are the one. You are the monster. - You are.
Lord, Leader Wind Calmer is coming over here.
Then let him come.
What should I be worried about?
He already was sick for more than a year.
Everyone already knows the situation.
I am just following the flow so that by the time I ascend the throne,
there will be less troubles.
What you said is so right.
A few days ago, the doctor that checked on Leader Wind Calmer told me that his illness has worsened.
But we better still be careful.
Leader Wind Calmer has arrived!
Let's go.
Respectfully greeting Leader Wind Calmer!
Enough. Forget about those unnecessary [Leader Wind Calmer]
rules and regulations.
Everyone, rise.
- Rise! Rise! - Thank you, Leader!
Leader, your health is bad.
You should rest more.
Just leave here to us.
I already feel better today so I came here to take a look.
Silence! Silence!
Everyone, listen to me!
Lord Ke Tu has successfully brought home three sacrifices.
We will choose one
to send to Bloody Fog Forest!
When the Bloody Fog Forest receives our sacrifice,
sweet dew will then fall here.
Among them there is a leader
which will be the first sacrifice!
- Hey, going out? - Yes.
You're back.
Enough already. It's more or less okay now.
- Let's go now. - Okay. Let's go.
Didn't you hear what the story teller said?
You must not randomly eat the food here.
These are Older Bro Fei's clothes, I'm sure of it.
He wouldn't have been cooked already, right?!
Older Bro Fei! Older Bro Fei...
Oh, it's pig ear. It's not Older Bro Fei.
I don't look like a monster now, right?
Doesn't look like it anymore.
Does this make me look like a monster?
The thing that makes you strange is not your clothing,
it's whether your speech and actions are appropriate or not.
Are you saying that my actions are inappropriate?
What do you think?
That's better.
I am Shi San.
This is the Clouds Village.
I am the Village Chief here.
Clouds Village?
How do I address you, buddy?
Zhan Xiong Fei.
What are you doing?
Everyone of you leave now.
- Leave! - You all go now.
Today, I asked you to come here because I have something to ask you.
Say it.
Our Clouds Village is very remote.
Since it was created by our ancestors,
we have been separated from the secular world for thousands of years.
People here will never go out.
The outsiders won't come in, either.
Counting it, you are actually the first stranger to come into our village.
I want to ask you. How were you able to come in here?
I fell from the sky.
You are just this young and you already don't know how to properly talk.
Forget it.
Just you alone?
Just me.
When you caught me, didn't you already see it? I was alone.
That's strange then.
What's strange about that?
Let me tell you. I also have a temper.
I also won't shamelessly just stay here in your place.
I also plan to leave.
- Hey, buddy! Buddy! Don't misunderstand. - I do plan to leave.
I didn't mean it like that.
No matter how you got here,
we are all still people of the same path.
It's very dangerous outside.
Just be at ease and stay here.
The people here in our Clouds Village are very kind.
Thousands of years ago, I was also like you.
Just to hide from being hunted down, I came here.
This place is secluded from the secular world.
Those people who wanted to kill us surely won't come here.
Just peacefully live here from now on.
What kill you kill me, separating from the outside world?
What are you saying? How come I can't understand any of it?
It's fine if you understand it or not.
Since you already came here, then other matters are not important anymore.
Forget those scary things.
Start your life anew.
Today is you first day in Clouds Village.
I already instructed them
to kill a pig and cook its meat to welcome your arrival.
