Episode 16
Help me, I'm over here.
Who will come and save me?
I'm over here!
Save me please!
Who will come and save me?
Who will save me?
Save me!
I'm over here, who will come and save me?
Save me, save me!
Save me, save me...
Don't be scared. Come.
Miss, why have you been caught and tied up here?
He really is saving someone.
Yan'er?
That's unxepected. Does he know this girl?
I should not reveal myself first. I'll just silently observe.
You are Yan'er, you are Yan'er!
What is he doing?
I've finally found you. I've finally found you, Yan'er.
No, I am not Yan'er. I'm Ling Ji.
Please let go of me, let go of me.
Just what is going on?
I'm sorry. You're not her, you're not Yan'er.
I am Xing Hu. Rest assured, I came to save you.
Big Brother Xing Hu.
Just call me Xing Hu.
Alright, tell me. Why have you been tied up here by others?
On my way I met a group of bandits.
They captured me.
I wanted to retaliate,
but they hit the back of my head with a stone.
Then, I don't know what happened next.
By the time I woke up, I realized I was tied up here.
So I just shouted for help. I shouted without stopping.
I never thought that you would come and save me.
Does it still hurt?
My head really hurts!
Was this girl attacked on the back of her head,
and now has internal injuries?
It hurts a lot...
Don't be scared, don't be scared. I'll bring you back.
Xue Lian has good medical skills. She will definitely be able to help you.
Xue Lian, Mi Junfei! Wake up and help save someone.
Who are they?
They said they are ban-
Xue Lian come over quickly.
Xue Lian! What are you doing? Hurry over!
I'll go over then. -Xue Lian!
Xue Lian, take a look at her.
Brother Xiao Hu, who is she?
Don't ask so much, just help me save her. Hurry!
It's okay. I suddenly feel much better.
Are you sure?
All of you listen up! We are from Glazed Glass Kingdom,
the most famous bandits, Great Snake Sect!
If you people still want to keep your lives,
then hand over all your valuables!
If not, we will kill with no mercy!
One, two, three, four. Four fierce men.
You are bandits?
That's right! Bandits!
Also, take note! We do not just call ourselves bandits.
We are indeed bandits!
Right! It goes without saying that we are bandits!
But Big Brother, if we don't tell them that we are bandits,
how will they know that we are bandits?
Does it matter if they know whether we are bandits or not?
As long we ourselves know that we are bandits, then they will know too!
Even if they don't know we are bandits, as long as we are bandits,
even if we do not say it, we are still bandits! -Right!
Are you stupid?
Once they are scared, they will know then you are a bandit!
This is hilarious.
You are not allowed to laugh!
This is way too funny.
It's so funny!
Continue laughing! If you continue laughing we will kill you all!
Still call yourself a bandit. You're not even a blockhead!
You're still laughing? You! -I'm about to laugh to death.
Don't blame us for being ruthless.
Just blame yourselves for not having eyes! You trespassed into our territory...
- This is too funny! - and stole our wine!
Hey, let me ask you.
Was this lady caught and tied up at the forest by you people?
I don't know.
I guess you're smart. Yes, she was captured by us.
So what? Are you afraid now?
If you're scared then hand over all your valuables!
Blockheads!
Let me ask you again. Was she or was she not abducted by you people!
- I don't know! Big Brother, save me! - Everyone attack!
Brother Mi, hurry and help Brother Xiao Hu!
It's just these few sacks of grass. They don't require me to take action. They're nothing.
Big Brother!
Brother Xiao Hu! They have gone crazy, you must be careful!
Why are we outside?
What just happened?
Big Brother, Second Brother, I think just now we were beaten.
But how did we leave unharmed if we lost?
Just now, you were dashing as if you had a chicken-blood injection.
You all became like crazy cats and dogs. You people are rather vicious!
We wouldn't dare.
You mentioned chickens, wild cats and crazy dogs,
so just what did we become just now?
Stupid. He means that we changed!
You are the stupid one. How can we become those things?
Let me ask you, and you'd better answer me properly!
Just now, how did you all turn into that state?
After our careful and serious discussion,
our answer is, we don't know.
Just now it looked like there was a flash of purple lightning.
Then we all just fainted.
And then when we woke up, we were here.
Stop there!
Great hero, spare our lives!
- Please spare our lives! - Spare us!
All this money, just take it as I bought your wine.
Thank you, great hero!
Get lost!
Thank you, great hero!
Her name is Ling Ji. I rescued her from the small forest.
The bandits injured her head with a stone.
It seems like she has an internal injury, so she has lost her memory.
Brother Xiao Hu, why do I feel like this woman is a little...
That... that thing...
Anyway, you know what I'm trying to say.
Do you have anything you are not telling us?
Alright, come over. Let me tell you.
I know already.
Oh, you...
Xing Hu. Are you sure you don't know her?
No, I don't know her.
Xue Lian, try again.
See if you are able to heal her and help her recall her memory.
This is strange. Xing Hu would not do this in the past.
Why does it seem like Xing Hu's entire person changed after seeing her?
How is she?
I can't heal her.
Xing Hu, is it impossible to heal me?
Don't worry. We'll find a way to nurse you back to health.
I really need you to protect me.
Don't be scared. I'm here.
I'm tired, I'd like to rest.
All of you, please leave.
- Let's go. - Ling Ji, rest early.
What is it?
Brother Xiao Hu, you want to let that woman stay with us?
What else can I do? Let her sleep first.
We can talk about other things tomorrow.
Yan'er...
did you send her over?
Benefactor! We've brought you some food!
- Benefactor! - There's good food!
Greetings benefactors, we brought these over, plesae enjoy them!
That's great! -Wait!
It could be poisoned. What benefactors?
We juniors have fallen into your hands yesterday, benefactors. (T/N taking the others as martial arts "seniors")
You did not kill us yesterday, but instead let us go.
Not only did you let us go, you even gave us money! So you are our benefactors.
Benefactors!
Benefactor, please rest assured. There is no poison.
Although we are bandits, we would never do such unscrupulous deeds.
That's right!
Sister Xue Lian, I'll give you two!
- For you. - Thank you.
Have you all not eaten?
You can have this then.
We only have that little money, we used it to get these for you.
Didn't I say not to say that! We cannot lose our face!
- But Boss, we are really a little hungry. - That's right, we're hungry.
Then please have this!

I'm full. We should make a move.
You four, just what kind of place is this?
Is there anywhere where there are more people?
Around here is just wilderness, there won't be anyone. But there's the Glazed Glass Kingdom in the north.
In Glazed Glass Kingdom, there are plenty of gleaming houses!
Once you enter they all just glisten! -There is also plenty of good food inside!
But recently it seems that the Mistress of Glazed Glass Kingdom is sick.
So outsiders are not allowed into the kingdom.
- There has to be a way in. - Hurry and tell benefactor what to do!
I heard that although the guards are very strict,
but people with the Mistress's special token can enter.
Then how do we get this special token?
- Do you have it? - Such an expensive item, do we few bandits look like we'll have it?
Then, other than using the token, are there other methods of going in?
We've tried. But the city walls are too high and the surrounding forests are dangerous.
Other than the token, there is no other way in!
Then what do we do?
Brother Xing Hu, I don't know why,
but I've just found this with me. Do you know what it is?
- The token! - What are you trying to do!
It's the token!
- This is the token? - I recognize it, this is the token! Even if it became dust I'd still recognize it!
Nonsense. You try to recognize it when it is dust!
It was just an expression.
- Mi Junfei, come with me. - Okay.
Let's go.
There is something I want to discuss with all of you.
You want that Ling Ji to come with us?
Seems like I was right.
We cannot leave her alone. Plus she's injured.
She has even lost her memory.
I'm afraid if we just leave her she will be in danger.
Brother Xiao Hu, didn't you already rescue her?
If she is unable to get her memory back forever, then are you going to accompany her your whole life?
Xiao Yu'er, don't talk nonsense.
I think Brother Xiao Hu is right.
How can we just leave Ling Ji alone?
I have no opinion. I guess it is the will of heaven.
We want to go into Glazed Glass Kingdom and Miss Ling Ji has the token.
The heavens have given you a beauty, even if you wanted to stop it, you can't.
As long as you know clearly in your heart what to do, it's enough.
I'm fine with anything, Brother Xiao Hu. You all decide.
It's fine to have one more person.
Alright. I will go inform Ling Ji.
Ling Ji. -Are you all leaving me?
I...
I've always been by myself.
I wonder where I should go.
If it is possible, I'd like to join your group.
Actually, when I'm with you, I feel at peace.
Alright.
You've agreed?
Actually I wanted to tell you
that I want to bring you along with us.
Thank you, Big Brother. You're so nice.
Benefactors! Benefactors.
Benefactors, take care on the road.
- If you have time, do come and visit us! - And bring some good food!
You idiot, all you think about is food.
Alright, let's go.
- Olay. - Goodbye.
- We're off! - Let's go.
Brother Mi, what happened?
I think I ate something wrong. I'll go relieve myself.
You go on ahead first. I'll catch up.
Oh, alright.
Do you know which way our benefactors went?
- I think we will never see them again. - That's right.
You're right.
Don't speak first, I have something to ask you.
Ask without hesitation.
Just now, that Miss Ling Ji, was she abducted here by you people?
Technically you could say we did... but you could also say we didn't.
We can crack our heads and bleed out,
but we cannot tarnish the reputation of our Great Snake Sect!
Honestly, although we want to admit that we managed to abduct such a pretty lady,
the truth is...she was not abducted by us.
Then why did you say you did it that time?
- To preserve our reputation! - Your reputation?
Brothers, when there is a will, there is a way.
As long you all work hard, one day, you will be able to stand out.
Put in effort and fight!
Brother Mi, are you feeling better?
Yes, I'm good.
I feel that after those four bandits left, it's rather boring.
You're right.
Well, we should continue on our way.
Alright.
This Ling Ji, although she looks really innocent,
I feel like she's hiding something dark from us.
I wonder why Xing Hu is paying so much attention to her.
I can only keep an eye on her, maybe eventually she'll reveal her true colors.
We've arrived at Glazed Glass Kingdom!
Brother Mi, what is that?
It looks like the symbol of the Snake God.
That's a snake? Why does it have four legs?
There's a story to this.
In ancient times, the snake and the frog were best friends.
That time, snakes had four legs while the frogs had none.
But the snake was lazy and greedy, while the frog was hardworking.
So because of this, people really hated snakes.
When the snake realized people hated it, it started biting and eating them.
When the Heavenly Emperor found out, he sent out an order
to cut off the four limbs of the snake and give them to the frog.
That's why snakes nowadays look like that.
Ling Ji, since you have the token from Glazed Glass City,
do you think you could have lived here before?
Take a look around carefully, maybe you will remember something.
Really?
Brother Xing Hu, then can you accompany me to look at the scenery?
Maybe I really will remember something.
Okay.
It looks like Xing Hu is getting deeply involved with her.
I think I should warn him first.
Xue Lian, you have to help keep an eye on Ling Ji.
- I have something important to tell Xing Hu. - I...
Don't ask first. I will let you know when the time is right.
Just think of something to distract her for awhile, okay?
Xiao Yu'er!
Come with me.
Hey Xing Hu, come here.
Let's go look for somewhere to stay.
- Let's go. - What is it?
Let's go! Hurry!
Let's go!
Hurry!
What's the point of just blindly walking forward? We can just ask someone.
Let's just try searching by ourselves. Hurry let's go to the front.
That's right, hurry!
That way, that way!
Sister Ling Ji, I have something to ask you.
Sister Xue, please go ahead.
Your necklace looks so elegant,
where did you get it from?
Sister Xue, did you forget? I was hit on the head,
I don't remember anything.
But Sister Xue, if you like it, I can give it to you.
Please don't.
Your gaze keeps shifting.
Is there something you're keeping from me?
Of course not. There really isn't.

- What's going on, what's this about? - Xing Hu, there's something about Ling Ji...
- Oh no, they are in danger, hurry! Hey!
Stop right there!
It was such a scare.
Sister Xue, thank you for risking your life to save me.
I will definitely repay this huge favor.
- Are you alright? -Just now, maybe she accidentally hit my accupoint.
Ling Ji, is everything alright with you?
I'm fine.
Are you alright?
Miss, you aren't hurt right?
Thank you Miss for your help.
It was my fault. I hope these two ladies forgive me.
How could it be your fault? We don't even know you, we should be thanking you!
I'm called Qing He, I am the maid of the princess of Glazed Glass Kingdom.
This carriage was supposed to fetch me.
If there is anything I can do to rectify my mistake,
please just ask it. I will do my best to help.
However, these horses were brought up by me and have always been very gentle.
I'm not sure what happened that suddenly startled them. I am really puzzled.
Well horses are animals.
Even if they are peaceful all the time, when they are startled they are difficult to handle.
If it wasn't for your alertness in grabbing onto the reins,
the consequences would have been awful.
May I know what is your name, sir?
I'm called Mi Junfei. The Jun in 'hero' and
the Fei in 'extremely heroic'.
A good name, it suits you.
Can I ask Miss,
we have something that actually requires your assistance.
It's huge!
Today, all of you can rest here.
Thank you Miss Qing He, for helping us find a nice place to stay.
It's no trouble, only the effort of lifting a hand. (T/N Chinese idiom: nothing worth mentioning)
Although my position is lowly, I can still take care of this small matter.
By the way, I haven't asked yet. Why have you come here?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you. We've come to look for the twelve Zodiac animals and kill the demonic ones.
What?
This kid. He has recurrent hysteria.
Sometimes he doesn't know himself what he is saying.
Actually, we are doctors from Phoenix City.
We do our best to get rid of disease and disasters for the poor.
So you really are doctors from far away. That's great.
Our Mistress has fallen gravely ill and is extremely weak.
No appetite day or night, yet we have nobody here who can treat her.
I have been worried for a long time. If you don't mind, please come into the palace with me.
Please help our Mistress!
Miss Qing He, relax. This is what is formally known as
"if a friend has difficulties and none of us helps them, we are not human."
We will do our best to cure your Mistress's illness.
Xue Lian, isn't that right?
Xue Lian, did you say 'yes'?
Yes, yes, yes.
Master Junfei, you really are handsome and extraordinary,
as well has having medical ethics and a kind heart.
Whichever girl that can marry you is extremely lucky.
Now I must report back to the palace. After that I will come and meet you again.
That's fine.
Ling Ji, how are you feeling?
Do you have many injuries?
Brother Xiao Hu, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Brother Xiao Hu, I have something to tell you.
Fine.
Wait a second.
What's the problem, Xue Lian?
Brother Xiao Hu, I have never lied to you about anything.
Then, will you definitely believe what I have to say?
That's a given. Xue Lian, if you have something to say you can just tell me.
Brother Xiao Hu, can you send her away?
Who?
Ling Ji?
Brother Xiao Hu, don't you think that ever since she came here,
things have become quite odd?
First the bandits, then the horse was spooked. Although I don't dare to find out for sure,
today it seemed as though she touched my ma acupressure point, and then I couldn't move.
Brother Xing Hu. Sister Xue.
Let's go and enjoy the Glazed Tile Pagoda that Qing He told us about.
I seem to have a slight impression of it.
Little Fish would also quite like to go.
All right. Then I'll tell everyone and we can go together.
How lovely!
It's pretty over there, too.
Don't run all over the place.
It's dangerous. I'll go and have a look, too.
- You lot come over in a while. - Come here.
Brother Xing Hu, look over there.
It's beautiful indeed.
I'll do a little sunbathing first.
Could it be that because I like Brother Xiao Hu I have become jealous and misunderstood her?
- Look out. Sister Xue, hold on to me.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
Xue Lian, how could you be so careless?
Ling Ji, thanks to you Xue Lian was saved. Otherwise, the consequences would be too awful to contemplate.
This Ling Ji, her behavior changes so much. It truly makes one unable to make sense of it.
Looks like we need to be more careful.
Let's go this way.
Xue Lian, what happened just now has made you scared?
It was because of Ling Ji.
Brother Mi, tell me. Will someone, out of pure jealousy,
dislike someone else?
Common people are ignorant. Naturally, they will.
However, you won't, Xue Lian.
Why not?
You are the most kind-hearted girl I have ever met. The most kind-hearted.
Why do you dislike Ling Ji?
I don't know. It's just that today at the Glazed Tile Pagoda,
I felt someone give me a push and I nearly fell down the cliff.
At that time, it seemed as though there was someone behind me.
Ling Ji?
However, I can't be certain. But what I don't understand is
why she wants to harm me, yet also wants to save me?
Also, before that...
I suspected that she also touched my ma acupressure point.
So when the horse was coming at us, I couldn't move.
Brother Mi, do you believe me?
In any case, Brother Xiao Hu doesn't believe me.
I believe you.
Actually, I realized there was a problem with her earlier.
Really?
It's just that there's never any concrete evidence,
that's why I didn't tell you anything.
But...what I can't understand is
why she would want to harm me and then rescue me?
This is the true meaning of cunning.
What?
You don't understand yet?
This is something she did intentionally.
Intentionally with the aim of gaining someone's heart. Especially done for Xing Hu.
As long as she rescued you, Xing Hu would trust your suspicions about Ling Ji even less.
It's just a shame that she succeeded.
Xue Lian, don't worry. While I'm alive,
if she dares to hurt you, I will never forgive her.
I'll let you see how I expose her sly and crafty plans.
Come on.
- Come here, Little Fish. Come here. - Okay.
My belly hurts. So painful.
My belly hurts.
So painful.
Let me see, Little Fish, what's going on?
My belly is so sore.
- So painful, so painful. - Alright, hang on, you'll be fine.
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Hey, Little Fish! Stop fooling around.
- Little Fish, stop playing around. - The jade plate has been snatched and you're not chasing him yet?
Little Fish!
Stop pretending now.
He's already far away. He won't be back for a while.
Speak. You wormed your way into our midst. What on earth do you want to do?
Little Fish, Little Fish!
If you keep going, when I catch you, I won't spare you!
Come and get me! Hey!
I will definitely catch you!
That's not right. Why would Little Fish suddenly want to lead me so far away?
Could it be? Ling Ji!
What scheme could I possibly have?
I am but one person. I lack the strength to truss a chicken. (T/N Chinese idiom: very weak)
If it wasn't for you taking pity on me,
perhaps I would have been killed by the bandits earlier.
Don't give me that! I have asked these bandits.
They never captured you.
You still wanted to secretly kill Xue Lian two times. What is your purpose here?
Brother Mi, I really don't know what you are talking about.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
Then I will say a few things that you can understand.
Sister Xue, can you save me? Sister Xue.
I can tell when you're pretending.
- Brother Xing Hu. - Ling Ji.
I know. It was you who instructed Little Fish to do what he did. Am I right?
Don't block me. I'll tell you right now what the real situation is.
Mi Junfei, I'm telling you. If you dare touch with even one sweaty hand, I will most certainly be unable to forgive you.
Brother Xiao Hu.
Xue Lian, what on earth is wrong with you? You want to help Mi Junfei hurt someone?
It's not that, Brother Xiao Hu. Do you still remember that painting in the ruined temple?
Don't you think our current circumstances and those in the painting are exactly the same?
The will of the gods.
Xing Hu. You seriously want to keep protecting her?
Yes. I have my reasons.
Fine. Then I'm going.
Brother Mi, why are you going?
Taking a walk to calm my heart.
I'm going to look for a drop of liquor to dispel my anger.
