A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 34
Don't assume I'll be grateful to you for saving my life!
I didn't ask for your gratitude.
Fine.
I may have said that,
but deep down I'm quite grateful.
I know you say mean things,
but you have a kind heart.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked coming to Mount Gui to save your friends.
Well, I'm locked up now.
If anything happens to my friends,
I won't forgive you!
Let me ask you.
How are you so sure that your friends came to Wuya Palace?
What Wuya Palace?
This is just a shabby rat hole!
My friends left marks along the way indicating that they came here.
No one else has come to Mount Gui in the past three months
before you arrived.
How is that possible?
How do you know
-that the marks are real? -It's impossible that they are fake.
Perhaps they don't dare to come in.
That's why they lure you here to find out the path and the situation.
Chances are they don't like you,
-so they want to send you to your death. -No way!
They were the ones who raised me.
They won't do such a thing.
No way.
Open the door.
I said, open the door!
You have not fully recovered.
The poison is not completely eliminated.
How can I let you out?
How can the smartest person in the world have no patience at all?
Father.
Hurry up and think of a way.
We will die in here soon.
We are still alive, aren't we?
I have run out of energy, Father.
If they ever let the rats in again,
I'm afraid...
that we won't survive.
Did they let the rats in today?
"Today"?
No.
Why?
It has been five days.
Wei Wuya should have received news from Yihua Palace.
They failed.
"They failed"?
That means we are going to be the old monster's honored guests soon.
Gentlemen.
My master wants to see both of you.
RAT
Jiang Qin.
Even though you're kept in here,
you seem to have everything that is happening out there
in your control.
I have dealt with Yihua Palace on a few occasions.
Hence, I can almost guess what has happened.
Tell me then.
What had happened
when I attacked Yihua Palace?
The martial arts skills of both the masters of Yihua Palace
have reached the peak of perfection.
They don't have many rivals in the martial arts.
I guess the disciples that you sent
had no chance to deal with the masters of Yihua Palace.
You may have no idea
about the new rising generation, the young master of Yihua Palace,
but the disciples that you sent
might have already witnessed how great his martial arts are.
I think you underestimated the circumstances.
Hence, all of your people were completely wiped out.
You're right.
For this battle, we had made elaborate preparation.
We barged into Yihua Palace, but they were wiped out by Hua Wuque
before they got to see Yaoyue and Lianxing.
It's such a shame.
Don't be sarcastic.
I asked you to come here as I would like to know
how to retrieve the gift
that you have offered.
I'm ready to give it to you.
It depends on you.
It seems that you have thought it through before coming.
Hero of Jiangnan.
It looks like I have to see you
with new eyes.
Ms. Tie, have you recovered?
I'm feeling much better.
Thanks for your concern.
Our young master wants me to tell you
to leave immediately after you have recovered.
Yihua Palace had just been attacked. There are many things to deal with.
He won't send you off by himself.
Where is he?
He...
He doesn't want to see you.
Ms. Tie.
Don't make things difficult for him.
All right.
I got it.
BRIGHT MOON AND FRESH BREEZE
Aunties.
The deal between Jiang Xiaoyu and I is approaching.
I'm leaving for Mount Gui for the duel with him.
Please take care of your bodies.
I'll take my leave now.
YIHUA PALACE
Sir, let us go along with you.
No need.
Both of my aunts are in seclusion.
They have no idea what had happened.
Both of you should stay back and report it to them.
-Yes. -Yes.
YIHUA PALACE
Mr. Hua.
Wait a minute.
Why are you still here?
I'm waiting for you.
Have I not made myself clear?
I have made myself clear too.
If you ever kill Jiang Xiaoyu, I'll kill you.
Why? Don't you dare let me tag along?
It's up to you.
I'm not thirsty.
I'm done taking a break.
I have to get going.
I'm in luck today.
I picked a rare herb.
It is really good for your wound.
As long as you open the door
and let me take a stroll,
it would be more effective than consuming a thousand herbs.
This Knight's star lily takes 50 years to grow its roots
and another 50 years to germinate.
It's a precious herb that is hard to come by.
The only thing is...
one can never consume it.
So you also know that this herb
has to be eaten while it's still fresh for it to come into effect.
It's too late now.
The juice of the herb has gone into your body.
And you are not supposed to swallow what you just spat anyway.
That's how you should consume Knight's star lily.
-You... -I knew it.
You'll do things against my will.
That's why I go the other way round so that you'll be obedient.
Regardless of your effort,
I'll escape from here eventually.
Let's sit inside.
Server.
-Bring me another bottle of wine. -All right.
Hua Wuque, stand there.
Along the way,
I know that you ignore me and keep a distance from me on purpose.
Why don't you just be honest with me?
If I say it, things will be awkward between us.
We'll have to face it soon one day.
Isn't it better to say it out sooner?
Ms. Tie.
You drank too much.
You...
You don't dare to answer my question,
so you say that I'm drunk.
You're no fun.
Sir, are you in there?
What's the matter?
Sir, please come and have a look.
The lady who comes with you...
Here.
Look at her.
What should we do?
Server.
Bring me another bottle of wine.
Wine.
Mr. Hua.
Don't kill Xiaoyu'er.
Both of you should remain best friends.
If you kill him, you'll regret it later.
You'll regret it later for sure.
Ms. Tie.
The deal is just around the corner.
The three of us can't escape from it.
It's fate.
It's better to keep a distance now
than to suffer later.
By doing so, I won't hesitate so much when I have to kill Jiang Xiaoyu.
You won't have to worry much
when you avenge him.
You stinky girl!
Devilish girl!
Crazy girl! Bad girl!
Come here now.
Come now!
What's wrong?
I'm dying!
How is that possible?
My body is so stinky and itchy.
If you don't let me take a bath, I'm going to itch to death.
I didn't stop you from taking a bath.
So you agree to let me out?
You can take a bath in there.
No doubt there is a bathtub in here,
but there is no water.
I don't mind if you're willing to bring pails of water
to fill up the bathtub for me.
Either way, you'll have to open the door, right?
Why make it so complicated?
WATER
The water is not too hot or cold.
It's the best temperature for a bath.
You'll like it for sure.
Fine.
Why are you still standing there?
Are you going to watch me taking a bath?
I don't mind watching you.
I'll take off my clothes now.
Aren't you going to watch me?
Don't you want to watch me?
Look at me.
Look at me. Hey...
Help!
Xiaoyu'er!
HEAVEN
Xiaoyu'er!
HEAVEN
How do you know how to lock the door?
I have figured it out.
The mechanism of the door is made according to the Nine Halls Diagram.
Nine is on top of one in the center.
Three on the left, seven on the right.
Two and four are top left and right.
Six and eight at the bottom.
Five is in the middle.
I saw this kind of mechanism a lot at the Wicked Canyon when I was young.
You are indeed very smart.
You deserve to be the person I like.
Hey, don't.
I appreciate your kindness.
I appreciate your love too, but please love someone else.
Don't leave, Xiaoyu'er.
See you never.
After all, she saved my life.
If I keep her in the cave,
will she starve herself to death?
She is full of tricks.
Also, the mechanism of the cave was made by her.
She'll find a way to escape.
Let alone a little girl like her,
even if the Queen Mother of the West and Guanyin can't trap me.
No way!
Who is that?
It's you again.
I knew that you'll use this path.
I have been waiting for you.
How is it?
By now, you should have learned
that if you are a fish, then I am a net.
Aren't you afraid the fish will die and the net will break?
I'm more than willing to die together with you.
You have gone crazy.
You have indeed gone crazy.
Women are all nuts.
Nuts!
Lady and gentleman, are you here for food or accommodation?
-Server. -Yes.
How far is Mount Gui from here?
Four hours if you ride a horse.
"Four hours"?
It's getting late.
Why don't you stop for some food and take a break before leaving?
-Server. -Yes.
One bowl of plain noodles and two side dishes.
All right.
Server.
Please serve half a catty of beef and a catty of wine.
Aren't you together?
Do we look like we are together?
Yes. Please wait for a moment.
The food will be served right away.
It took us a lot of effort.
That lad is as slippery as an eel.
If it weren't for your trick, he wouldn't have been caught so easily.
He should know whose territory is this.
How dare he go against us.
Let alone a fish, even if he were a fish with wings,
I'll make sure he can't escape.
Doesn't he claim that he is the smartest person in the world?
Tonight, let's send him to hell to play tricks with the King of Hell.
Cheers.
It's getting late.
Let's go.
-Server. -Yes.
-Take it. -Okay.
Take care, sirs.
LORD SHAN RESIDENCE
I think Xiaoyu'er is being kept here.
Hey.
We have just arrived at Mount Gui and there is news of Jiang Xiaoyu.
That's too much of a coincidence.
You suspect that this is a trap that someone lured us here on purpose, right?
I'll go in first.
You'll wait here.
-I want to go in. -Don't you know
-how much trouble you've made? -I...
I'll go in first. Wait for me.
Little kitten.
Sit down.
Don't behave like a fierce guard dog.
You'll scare off our guest.
Since you're here, why don't you come in?
What an elegant gentleman.
May I know your name?
I'm Hua Wuque.
Lady, may I know your name?
I'm a married woman.
I'm no longer a young girl.
My surname is Bai.
You look like an elegant and talented gentleman.
Why did you barge into my house late at night?
I apologize for coming in late at night.
I'm here to inquire about the whereabouts of my friend.
Is Xiaoyu your friend?
If you can tell me his whereabouts, I'll be really grateful.
Even if I tell you, do you have the capability to save him?
No matter how dangerous it will be, I have to give it a try.
How arrogant.
If you really want to see him, I can show you the way.
Thank you, Madam Bai.
However, I'm locked up here.
I can't even move.
You're the owner of this place.
The tiger belongs to you.
Who can lock you up?
You'll know after you lift the curtain.
LORD SHAN RESIDENCE
Who did this?
My husband.
Your husband?
That's right.
My husband is
the most jealous and unreasonable man in the world.
He thinks that as he goes out,
I'll flirt with other men.
If someone ever lays their eyes on me,
he will kill that person.
Now that you have seen me,
even if you don't save me,
he'll still come after you.
I hate men who bully women the most.
No matter who he is, I'll still save you.
Madam.
You can show me the way now.
Can't you tell
that I'm running out of energy?
It's so itchy.
So you are not a gentleman either.
You teased me on purpose.
I didn't mean it.
Who knows whether you mean it or not?
Blockhead.
If you can't help me up,
why don't you carry me?
If you can't stand up now,
I'll wait for you.
What if...
I can't stand up even after two hours?
Then I'll wait for two hours.
What if...
I can't stand even after three days and three nights?
Will you be waiting here
for three days and three nights?
I believe that you won't make things difficult for me.
Ma Taxue!
-Madam, what are you doing? -This is bad!
I...
My husband is back.
Scum!
You're here to watch that woman, not to sleep.
Go away!
Please don't misunderstand.
I didn't do anything that I shouldn't do.
"Misunderstand"?
The moment I left the house,
both of you engaged in an illicit love affair.
Say it!
When did you strike up a relationship with this sissy man?
Let me be honest.
Both of us have been in love for many years.
Whenever you leave the house,
he'll come and meet me up.
What can you do?
What?
Madam Bai.
Why are you putting me in trouble?
Don't you want to save me?
I'm trying to infuriate him for you.
Then, you'll stand a greater chance to take him down.
How dare you.
What an audacious filthy scoundrel!
How dare you beard the lion in his den!
You're seeking your own death!
No wonder you're a filthy scoundrel, you're quite skillful.
Beat him up!
Yes, don't be afraid of him.
Yes, fight him for me.
Beat him up!
Yihua Palace lives up to its name.
However, I'm not a pushover.
Watch out!
His ultimate skill is Heart Gripping Tiger Claw.
Is my acting on point?
Only when he was fully focused on fighting with you,
I could attack him in secret.
You didn't see that coming, right?
Whoever gets in touch with this woman
will suffer great losses.
LORD SHAN RESIDENCE
Ms. Tie, you have been standing out there for a long time.
Why don't you come in?
Who are you?
You'll know who I am when you come in and see for yourself.
Please stay, Ms. Tie.
I heard that you are brave and faithful.
You're well-known for the Berserk Hundred Hits.
Both of your friends are here.
Are you going to ditch them and leave?
Who on earth are you?
Stop acting mysterious.
Do you dare not show up?
Tie Xinlan.
You are a woman with guts.
Why are you running away?
Is it because you're afraid of my face...
or...
my hand?
You were trying to scare me.
Why should I talk to you?
You're indeed a cute woman.
No wonder Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque
are both obsessed with you.
Both of them
can never know women better than you.
You're right.
Too bad...
we're not friends since the beginning.
It's not too late to be friends now.
I know that you are fond of me.
The chance to meet you is hard to come by.
We must not let the beautiful night go in vain.
Pinggu.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm just teaching Tie Xinlan a lesson.
You should know that I only love you.
You're the only one in my heart.
I don't care if you are lying.
From now on,
if you ever lay your finger on any woman,
I'll kill you
and then commit suicide in front of you.
Pinggu.
Hei Zhizhu!
Well...
Murong Jiu.
Ms. Murong Jiu.
What's going on?
She was poisoned.
My acupoints are blocked.
What happened?
It's a long story.
Ms. Tie, why are you here too?
Mr. Hua and I heard that Xiaoyu'er is being locked here.
We were trying to save him,
-but... -This must be Jiang Yulang's trap.
He lured you here using Xiaoyu'er.
Do you mean Xiaoyu'er is not here?
No.
This is bad.
-Mr. Hua is in danger. -Don't worry, Ms. Tie.
Hua Wuque is skillful enough to deal with them.
By the way,
how did you and Murong Jiu end up here?
Murong Jiu was lost.
I looked for her everywhere.
Have you seen her?
-No. -Have a bowl of noodles.
Have you seen this person?
-After two months, -No.
I finally got the information
that she was abducted by Jiang Yulang and was being kept here.
My precious, go to sleep
I'll keep you company in your dream
Ms. Meng.
Who are you?
I'm Hei Zhizhu.
"Hei Zhizhu"?
I've finally found you!
It's too dangerous here.
Let me bring you out.
Let's go.
Why are you in a rush?
Hey, where are you going?
If it was only Jiang Yulang, I could try to fight him.
However, I didn't expect he had one of the Twelve Zodiac as his accomplice.
Everything that is plotted by Jiang Yulang
must be a conspiracy.
I hope Mr. Hua won't fall into his trap.
Mr. Wei, I have caught Hua Wuque.
This is his fan.
Show it to me.
Master.
Does this belong to him?
Yes.
He brings this fan everywhere.
Baiyi.
-Master. -Send this fan to Yihua Palace.
Tell Yaoyue
that Hua Wuque...
is in my hands.
Yes.
RAT
Hey.
Keep a close eye on Hua Wuque.
Don't let him escape.
Don't worry, Mr. Wei.
I have never made any mistakes.
As you know, all these while,
-the Twelve Zodiac-- -Enough.
Don't claim merit for yourself.
If it weren't for Master Jiang's idea, would you get Hua Wuque?
Go. Leave now.
Mr. Jiang.
Do you think Yaoyue will come to Mount Gui?
You invaded Yihua Palace
and now you have her precious disciple in your hand.
She can't remain unconcerned, can she?
Great.
If she ever comes here,
I'll make sure that she'll never have the chance to leave.
That filthy rat!
He even treated Jiang Biehe like an honored guest!
We risked our lives to capture the person for him,
but he sent me away with only a few insincere words!
Calm down.
You know how miserly Mr. Wei is.
Trying to gain anything from him
would be like pulling teeth.
If it isn't because he is a tiny bit more powerful than me,
I wouldn't let that freak boss me around!
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing because you're such a strong man,
but you're throwing a tantrum behind closed doors,
blind to the path in front of you.
What path?
Let me ask you something.
What do you think of Hua Wuque's martial arts?
He is nothing special.
If not for his Yihua Jade Swapping Palm, I could subdue him with no effort at all.
We are holding him captive!
If I can master his Yihua Jade Swapping Palm,
I will be a force to be reckoned with.
Then I'll be the leader of the Twelve Zodiac!
I bet you regret
not checking the divination guide and almanac this morning
and letting such bad luck befall you.
It would have been useless anyway.
If the Twelve Zodiac targets someone,
they will descend upon him any day of the week.
Do you recognize me?
You are Tiger, Lord Shan.
You consider yourself a tiger and can make tigers do your bidding.
Horse is the Tiger Wife.
So even though Madam Bai is dressed in luxurious garments,
she lives in a stable.
Good eyes!
Jiang Yulang must be here too.
Do you even know that too?
Only he knows the best of the friendship between me, Tie Xinlan, and Jiang Xiaoyu.
Only he would resort to such despicable means and set us up.
That's right.
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.
Why should I be afraid?
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?
