Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 24
It’s me, Wen Bao!
Impossible.
Wen Bao and Hai left
7 days ago.
They can’t just go this far.
Hai told me you would leave Wang Village
within 7 days.
So we’ve been waiting for you here.
It’s true.
I don’t believe it.
It’s really true.
Hai. Help me.
Hai!
I don’t remember I said that.
Hai. You...
How could you...
What are you going to say?
We were just traveling at leisure.
It took some time.
Dishonest words don’t work with me.
I’ve sensed
the passion in your heart.
Great!
The three of us are together one more time.
Where are we going then?
Don't worry.
You can rest assured to follow my lead.
So this is the top one
tourist city, Jiyang,
for poor travelers.
Wang Lu.
We come out to practice,
not to travel around.
Do you think it’s appropriate to come to a resort?
So,
you’re all blinded by the Kungfu novels.
Who said practicers have to live in solitude?
This is the world!
What can you learn
in the barren desert
out of nowhere
without even a soul?
Though I know it’s just an excuse,
I decide to be convinced by you.
Jiyang City, here we come!
Here we come!
Sachets! Have a look.
Kite!
This restaurant looks good.
Hold on.
Any problems?
A serious one.
There are 13 restaurants up on the list
of best diners along the street.
Which one do we go first?
You...
Whatever.
I’m OK with any of it.
I’m not finished yet.
- So this restaurant it is. - This one?
Cuizhai?
What is Cuizhai?
Hold on.
- Let’s check another one, OK? - Coming.
Don't be so rash, OK?
Local delicacy is also part of the training.
This diner is ranked
No. 2 in the best diners’ list.
Good choice, Hai!
That’s the advantage of being rich.
Waiter, order.
OK, take a look.
Waiter,
give us your specialties,
one of each.
Be quick.
Hurry.
OK, right away.
I’m starving.
Please enjoy.
What are these?
These are all our specialties.
Look,
vegetables mix,
seasonal vegetables and fruits salad,
and bunny treat.
All vegetables and fruits?
Are you a vegetarian diner?
Yes.
Let’s go find some meat.
You may go to another diner,
but please don’t get us into trouble.
What did I say?
Waiter, can you please tell us
what he said that may cause trouble?
I guess you’re not from local.
Let me give you a hint.
It’s OK if you want to go to another diner,
but I assure you, in Jiyang City,
that word is forbidden
in every diner.
Not to mention to eat it,
it’s not allowed to be mentioned.
Which word?
Meat?
Hush!
I told you not to mention it.
Goodness.
The tabooed vocabulary of your city
is so weird.
Isn’t this a tourist city?
When does it turn into a vegans paradise?
Citizens from Jiyang
advocate a green and environmental life style.
That so?
But I’m a plant protectionist.
I can’t sacrifice
a plant’s life just to meet
my lust for foods.
Do you know what these dishes
on the table mean to me?
A bloody slaughter!
All right. Lu,
stop making fun of him.
It’s good for our health to eat vegetables.
It purifies our system.
Are you sure?
But, waiter,
I have a question.
Does everyone in this city voluntarily
to be vegan?
Or are you forced to be?
Voluntarily, of course.
But that gentleman doesn’t look like voluntarily.
It looks like he’s taking poison.
I can’t see he’s volunteer.
Wen Bao,
take out your sausage.
You think I can’t tell?
Listen carefully.
If you don’t answer me,
I’ll eat this sausage up
in your place, bite by bite.
Sir, sir, sir,
please take this away now.
Hey, what is it that you’re so afraid of?
To be honest,
up in Yuntai Mountain outside the city,
there’s a sect named Beastmastery.
The whole city
is in the protection of Beastmastery Sect.
In the beginning,
they said animal abuse is forbidden.
However, from this year on,
they claim eating meat
is equal to slaughtering animals.
So we are not allowed to eat meat anymore.
Beastmastery Sect?
I thought it was a decent sect.
They force people to obey these rules?
Maybe it’s just a little radical.
But the purpose is good.
I hate these absurd rules with a good purpose.
That’s what Saint Mary’s doing.
Good purpose my ass!
If that’s so,
you’d better eat dirt from now on.
Gentlemen,
we’re also the victims of the rules.
Since the vegan rules,
the number of visitors to our city plummets.
All the diners
are required to provide vegetables only.
Those who don’t agree
are closed down by force.
So poor you are.
Wang Lu.
Let’s finish the meal
and get out of here as soon as possible.
Can we start now?
Please enjoy.
I don’t want any of it.
You guys have it.
Look,
does that cloud look like a chicken leg?
It’s more like roasted pork or a rib.
My opinion, you’re like a roasted piglet.
Believe it or not, I’ll eat you up.
Hai. Look at him.
He’s so grumpy.
Wang Lu.
I’m sorry. I apologize.
I’m getting hungry again.
All right. Lu.
It’s your lucky day.
You murderer!
You killed Dazhuang and its family.
How cruel!
It’s unforgivable!
Miss, you got the wrong person, right?
Stop it.
You’re sitting on them.
So Dazhuang is an ant.
They’re living animals.
All life forms are equal in this world.
Wait.
Are you guys from Jiyang City
insane due to Beastmastery Sect’s rules?
Meat is not allowed.
Why? Are they your families?
I got it.
You’re the so-called rotten bastard.
I have no more to say to you.
Get out of the way.
I’m going to bury Dazhuang and its family.
What a foul diving!
And the dazzling light effect, too.
Is this a scene
in the romantic novel?
You...You murderer!
Stay away from me!
What? Skip to another novel?
I remember the next plot is...
Wow!
The four young idols of Jiyang City!
I thought it’s all about cultivation.
What’s going on?
How dare he harass an innocent girl?
Let’s go.
Miss, are you all right?
I’m OK. I’m OK.
Chai Qi.
How dare you perverts
go wild in Jiyang City?
Hey, we didn’t do anything. What do you want?
If you didn’t, why did the girl act like that?
Like what? Don’t you think it’s a little over it
before you figure out the truth?
I don't care.
I won’t let you have your way.
Hai! Wen Bao,
I’ll take care of Dow-Ming-Sez.
You take care of the rest.
Do it.
Hold on.
Ling?
Miss Ling.
Darling.
Darling?
Boren.
What brings you here?
Are you all right?
I’m fine. Don't worry.
They’re my friends.
Let’s talk about this.
Is this my illusion?
Were we drugged
by the vegetables meal?
Whom is he calling darling?
Where are we?
Glad to know you’re OK.
The Xue Mansion isn’t large in scale,
but,
it’s fully functioned.
There are six courtyards on both sides.
On the east side, there are Jingren Hall,
Chengqian Hall, Zhongcui Hall...
Your home is equally
exquisite and grand to Junhuang Mountain.
It’s been a while.
You’re more of a gentleman now.
Lu, so many halls.
Each delicately and graciously
decorated.
Now we know it’s the Xue Mansion.
To the strangers,
they may think it’s a Forbidden City themed hotel.
Whether it’s daily necessities or entertainment,
you can find all you want.
You’re welcome
to call a visit at any time.
Please.
My friends, be seated.
What does this slick want?
He’s Ling’s friend.
We’d better be nice.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.
I don’t know
you’re Ling’s friends.
I still don’t know
your names, yet.
It’s my fault.
I haven’t introduced you.
Forgive me.
It’s OK.
- Who is this? - Boren, let me introduce them.
Is this the shrew owner
of Lingxi Inn?
Do we have the wrong girl?
Ling is a girl after all.
It’s understandable
that girls usually become gentle
in front of the men they like?
She’s not a common girl.
She and Wang Wu
should have been born men.
If love makes her gentle,
does that mean my unreliable master can be...
Lu,
I miss you.
Let me introduce them.
They’re Lingjian Sect’s disciples.
This is Wang Lu.
Mr. Wang.
Hai Yunfan.
Mr. Hai.
Wen Bao.
Mr. Wen.
This is Xue Boren.
These are his brothers, Xue Zhongren,
and Xue Shuren.
This is his cousin, Chai Qi.
You’re from a decent family.
But your names are quite plain.
Judging from your extraordinary air,
I know you must be the elite of the city.
Especially you, Mr. Xue,
from what you did in the market,
I know you must be a kind-hearted
and upright person.
You’re truly a model for the young people.
Well said, Hai.
I’m flattered.
Mr. Hai, thank you for your compliment.
You didn’t know
the customs of Jiyang City.
Hence the misunderstanding.
I hope you understand.
Waiter,
get me a pair of scissors and red ribbon.
Thank you.
Mr. Wang.
What do you need them for?
Shall I ask the servants
to prepare them for you?
Normally, the flatters require
ribbon-cutting, music,
or cannon fires?
Wang Lu.
You’ve recovered 30% of your power.
Now I officially inform you
that Xue Boren
is my fiancée.
I heard
20% of the engaged couples end up
breaking up.
What a coincidence!
Our wedding
is scheduled 7 days later.
Seven days are long enough
for affairs, elopement,
or abandon.
These could all happen in 7 days.
Really?
Then I have to ask you to stay
for my wedding.
OK.
When you break up with him,
the three of us can help you
take it out on him.
Beat him up.
Wang Lu.
You got a problem?
You’re not happy that I’m getting married?
You want a fight?
Need my help?
Ling.
Boren, Ling...
I guess Ling needs a moment
to catch up with her friends.
Let’s leave them alone.
I’ll wait you in my room.
I don’t want to.
Be good.
Explain it with your friends.
I don’t want to see you
abandon your world for me.
It doesn’t matter.
As long as you ask,
I’ll get whatever you want,
even it’s the star in the sky.
I believe you.
You’re always the best.
Excuse me, my friends,
I shall give you some time alone.
Catch up.
What’s wrong with you people from Non-phase peak?
Do you come to undermine me?
We’re not suspicious,
but the fact makes us be
suspicious.
Mr. Xue and I...
Boren and I
really love each other.
One day after I left,
I was caught in pouring rain
when I was in Yuntai Mountain.
That I wanted to improve my Kungfu is one thing.
It could be nice if I could get a magic beast.
So I dressed in man
and applied to Beastmastery Sect’s academy.
However, on the first day at the academy...
Pick my brother’s fan up.
Do you hear me?
Pick it up.
Do you hear me?
I choose not to.
Come again?
No.
I’d give up everything I have to love you.
Marry me.
I lost my memory.
Where am I?
Who are you?
I don’t know.
But...
I’m deadly ill.
The car accident ruined my face.
My fiancée is coming back.
I’m pregnant.
I’m broke.
I have a miscarriage.
No!
I just went over all the romantic novels I read.
I’m so tired.
I think Mr. Xue
is great.
Yeah. Wang.
Ling finally meets someone she loves.
We should be happy for her.
Right?
You think he’s great?
Do you, Wang Lu?
Yeah. You’re right.
He’s excellent, perfect.
Not a vice.
But have you ever thought about it
that it may be just a made-up story?
Come on.
First, it’s the forced vegans.
Then the love and peaceful Jiyang City,
and four young idols!
And now with this,
the themed-hotel Xue Mansion.
Don’t you think it’s kind of weird
about everything happened here?
What do you know?
I think that’s the charm of it.
I’m even convinced
that it’s good to be a vegan.
Lu, I understand you.
You always think highly of yourself
and never have a rival.
Now he becomes the halo.
So you feel indignant.
How do you know about the halo?
You speak of it hundreds of times a day.
Of course I know it.
I miss Boren.
Never mind.
You’re going to stay for a few days.
When I’m at leisure,
I’ll tell you how perfect
he actually is.
All right.
Show yourself around.
I’m going to him.
Women in love.
No.
I have to call my master
to discipline her bestie.
Master! Master!
It’s urgent. Need your help.
Your bestie is having an affair.
Do you allow
her to cheat on you?
That’s an utmost humiliation.
You know what you should do.
Boren.
Ling!
Boren.
You’re done catching up so soon.
I miss you.
OK.
Let’s get something to eat.
OK.
Hold on.
Let’s go.
These are the rooms that our miss
prepared for you.
I hope you like them.
We can see that
the pearl crabapple is dedicatedly cultivated.
It has different flowering times.
As the former blossoms about to wither,
the new buds halfway open.
You can see it while stepping out of the room.
Superb scene
just at the doorstep.
The taste of your master
is indeed elegant.
Ling is a rough girl.
She can’t even tell prickly pear from pitaya.
It must be the slick’s idea.
Besides, where is Ling?
People in the whole mansion are busy
with the upcoming wedding recently.
Miss Ling wants to make you at home
so she sends me to
take care of you.
My name is Lihua.
Feel free to tell me if you need anything.
The mansion is like a maze.
If you want to go out, please let me know.
I’ll be your guide.
Besides,
except for the young masters,
who else live in Xue Mansion?
This is not Xue Mansion.
I’m not a servant of Xue Mansion.
I’m from Ling Mansion.
But we came in just now
from the gate of Xue Mansion?
Here is the thing.
This mansion is next to Xue Mansion.
There’s a separate gate.
Mr. Xue bought it
as a wedding gift to Miss Ling.
Mr. Xue said
Miss Ling isn’t from local.
She’ll feel alone sometimes in Jiyang City.
It makes her feel better to have her own mansion.
7 days later,
Miss Ling will be picked up from here to Xue’s.
Mr. Xue is so considerate
for Ling.
I’ll let you catch up.
Excuse me, sirs.
What does he want?
First a mansion, then a piece of land.
Maybe a horse for her later.
Whom does the slick
think Ling is?
This mansion
is more splendid than my home.
Stupid boy,
you think your dad can’t afford it?
Your dad is a royal servant.
He has to keep it low.
It’s not a time to show off your property.
Lu, you’ve been unkind
to Mr. Xue since the very beginning.
You’re hostile and sarcastic.
Is it because
you’re jealous that he’s marrying Ling?
Remember that.
He’s marrying. I’m sure he won’t be married.
I thought you didn’t like Ling.
After all, Ling is
one of the Lingjian Sect.
It’s like your pet dog.
You don’t seem to pay much attention to it,
but if someone wants to take it away,
you won’t allow it.
Not to mention she’s not a dog,
but a Nine-tail fox.
Wang Lu, how could you...
compare Ling to a barking dog?
She is your master’s friend.
Yeah.
She is my master’s friend.
According to Lingjian Sect custom,
the slick is going to be a family.
Forget about it.
Anyway,
I can feel something is wrong with him.
You two stay alert at night.
We leave tomorrow with Ling together.
It’s so strange.
My master is mean.
Even it’s things no use to her,
she’d smack those who steal them from her.
Now that her bestie is cheating on her,
how come she does nothing?
Master!
What?
Master, are you busy
with someone?
I need to tell you something.
Can you give me a minute?
I got it.
Call you when I’m done.
I never thought a Gold’s
attack and defense could be so fierce.
That’s because my Wuxiang Kungfu
has reached the 108th level.
Those Gold assassins like you
are no longer my rivals.
It requires a Nascent Soul at least.
So this is the strength of
the Golden disciple’s legacy?
Who sent you?
What are you after?
Great!
You bastards want to play tough guys?
Let’s take you back to Lingjian Sect
to a grumpy master
named Fang He.
I promise he’ll make you confess everything,
every single thing.
Swirl!
