"Chief, Kung stole this Jade Imperial Seal from the bandit "Ghost King" especially for you." "Also, rumor has it that Imperial Secret Agent Dragon 9 is also on the hunt for him." "Good." "Then I will return it to its rightful owner." "YAU TAK TAVERN" "The only men we see here are our three dumb brothers." "It's boring us to death!" "Come!" "Smell how fresh the scent of new fallen snow is." " Really?" " Am I right?" "It sure is!" "It does smell good." "Forget it." "You're not going to smell a man around here." "Are you mocking me, Big Sister?" "You're the most flirtatious among the four of us." "When you see those young swordsmen on the street, you just stare at them with hardly a blink!" "Who said so?" "I just want to get to know more friends." "Don't be shy." "It's normal for girls to wish to meet their Prince Charming." "Whats so funny about that?" "Thats right!" "You speak our mind, Ziqing." "Are the buns ready?" "Second Sister, of all the swordsmen, who do you want to meet the most?" "Saimoon Tsui-shih." "Snow, the God of Sword?" ""He who kills and spills no drop of blood"" "I heard he's very elusive." "I also heard that those who approach him do not live." "I've heard lots of stories about him too." "They say he is the union of man and sword." "I am very curious to know if he is really that terrifying." "At least he doesn't practice the Sunflower Manuscript." "What do you mean?" "You really don't know?" "Quick, tell me!" "To practice the Sunflower Manuscript, a man must cut off his..." "Let me whisper it to you." "Thats enough!" "Don't talk nonsense!" "Master!" "Of the Seven Siblings of Tianshan, I've brought the four of you here." "My goal is to preserve justice and arrest Ghost King." "I've received news that the biggest suspect is coming here." "Who is the most suspicious?" "Dragon 9." "He has dual identity." "He is the real Ghost King." "Now go and prepare yourselves." "Yes!" "Who could have ever thought that there'd be such a fine tavern in this wilderness!" "Great." " Waiter!" " Coming!" "What would you like, sir?" ""Maiden Rose" wine." "The one thats as red as your cheeks." "Do you have it?" "But of course." "Not bad." "She's got a fertile look." "Good!" "Me and my naughty hand!" "Good wine!" "How dare you put poison in the wine!" "I am Lin Yunhe of Tianshan Clan." "Today I am going to uphold justice and capture you, Ghost King." "I am not Ghost King!" "Don't frame me!" " The four of you, go!" " Yes!" "Hold it!" "Lin Yunhe, you are the real Ghost King." "You use your status as Chief of Tianshan Clan to hide your crime." "But why drag your four disciple babes here down with you?" "Cut the bullshit!" "Get him!" "Wow!" "A foursome?" "Nice!" "What a big ass!" "I LIKE IT!" "Kill him!" "Bearing children, maybe." "But killing?" "Run!" "What a big snowball!" "I want babes, not balls!" "Master!" "Let go!" "You might as well come tomorrow!" "I have always wanted to test your swordplay." "Dead or alive?" "Big..." "I mean, alive!" "Master!" "Sister!" "Using your own disciples as a shield." "How despicable!" "Sister..." "Hey!" "Can't you stop chasing after girls for once?" "I can fly too!" "You can't fly away!" "Not so fast!" " What the hell...?" " You'll die with me!" "Its not that easy!" "I always catch who I want, even if you are the Monkey King!" "I love it when you play rough." "Is that how you treat your lover?" "You!" "Always all talk and no action." "Why don't you just marry me?" "Marry you?" "Caressing your hot body underneath the Great Wall is better!" "I dare you!" "Come on!" "Whats wrong?" "You were all moans the last time I said that!" "Stop fooling around!" "The minister fears that you might be disciplined for not accomplishing the mission." "Have I ever failed in my missions?" "Where is he?" "He, Dragon 6 and Dragon 7 are all waiting for you." "I will go see them, then I'll come back for you." "Its only been a few days." "What happened to your teeth?" "How can I French kiss you with those yellow teeth?" "We are currently understaffed." "Its at critical moments like this that we realize its better to have more people." "I really miss Dragon 8." "Too bad he switched career to become the God of Cookery." "You won't miss him so much after you see this." ""Green Dragon"!" "We were short of one player." "If its not for you, we wouldn't have this game." ""Red Sword"!" "I win! "Thirteen Odds"!" ""Imperial Secret Agent"?" "Its just a name." "We can't live on salary alone." "I'd be broke if not for these games." "How dare you call "Thirteen Odds"!" "God will denounce you!" "You'll lose all your good luck eventually." "I've just caught Ghost King." "I'm not losing my luck anytime soon." "Hey, Minister, you have to watch how you play." "If you let him win, I'll have to pay too!" "You're sitting next to him and you don't even watch his moves." "You are responsible too!" "Hey, whats this?" "This is a western telescope." "Perfect for peeping toms." " Let me see." " Sure." "Hey, this really works!" "This invention was left behind here by Marco Polo." " It even has manual focus!" " What about zoom?" "You can try." "Can you see any women bathing?" " Yes!" "I see one!" " Who is it?" "Its your mother!" "And I thought I was the pervert around here!" "I see a woman!" "She has a mouth, a pair of big eyes..." "What are you looking at?" "Haven't you seen a pretty girl before?" "So, its the bullet-tongued Princess Phoenix." "You're so talkative, people even call you "Three mouths"." "Oh, so you're the famous "Four eyebrows" Dragon 9." "You look even dumber up close!" "The four of you better start behaving yourselves." "Playing mahjong during office hours." "Should I inform the emperor?" "I can't wait to hear your excuses!" "Greetings, Your Highness." "Please mind your tongue..." "No..." "I mean, please be lenient towards us." "Fine." "Give this thing to me then." " Hey, don't..." " Give it to me!" " She's being a spoiled brat again!" " What did you say?" "She's broken the telescope!" "Your Highness, I heard that you are learning Kung Fu on Mount Holy Virgin." "Then how come today..." "Because Master said that I've already learned all of her martial arts." "So I came back." "Well, from now on, there will be chaos in this palace." "Dragon 9, are you making fun of me?" "I wasn't talking about you." "I was talking about... him." "Dragon 7, any new inventions lately?" "Yes, Your Highness." "We have just set up a creative group." "Our latest invention is the flying kite." "Dragon 9 has tried it." "Not bad, right?" "Depends on who uses it." "Our creative group has a very strong lineup." "The members include Dragon 1, Dragon 2, Dragon 3 and Dragon 4." "And I am the coordinator." "Are they "the" Four Dragons who used to terrify the bad guys in the martial arts world?" "Thats right!" "But who knows what sacrifices we have to make in this business!" "Look at him." "He was once brilliant and handsome." "But now, all that is left is a pair of silent eyes." "He's blind." "Dragon 2 looks strong and sturdy." "But actually, he's now an one-legged gimp." "No need to explain about Dragon 3." "A bird with broken wings." "And Dragon 4 is..." "Hold it." "He..." "He can't be Dragon 4." "He used to weigh 200 pounds and stand more than 6 feet high." "My size has shrunk from being beaten badly." "Then there's Dragon 5." "He's disappeared for a year now." "We even put in an ad in Personals." "We've searched everywhere, but still no sign of him." "Thats why I now handle all the complicated cases alone." "Dragon 9!" "Have you forgotten the one thing that has been with you through life and death situations?" "Your Highness, our latest product." "There are two buttons here." "Don't touch them." "Don't!" "I've told you not to touch them." "This Tien Lo Umbrella has 82 functions." "The flamethrower is just one of them." "Really?" "What about this button?" "Hey!" "Stop!" "The second function of the Tien Lo Umbrella is that it can release 49 pins in an instant." "This function is called the "Fairy Maiden's Spike Shower"." "This I like." "Thanks." "So what if you like it?" "This was custom made just for me." " Give it back." " I want it!" "You wish!" "Give it back!" "I want it!" " Let go!" " It's mine!" "Don't fight!" "I'm begging you." "You two are messing up the place!" "Hands off!" "She is the princess!" "You'll be damned if you hurt her!" " Give it back to me!" " Stop!" "Please stop." "Minister!" "A group of invaders have descended on the square." "Who dares to step on our turf?" "I'll go take a look." "Who comes here?" "The "Hovering Heavenly Fairy" Stance!" "You are indeed a man of knowledge." "You must be "Four eyebrows" Dragon 9." "In the martial arts world, no one else can strike such a powerful stance except White Cloud City Chief, Yip Ku-sing." "Yip Ku-sing?" "Royal Uncle Pingnan!" "It's me, Phoenix!" "So, you're all grown up." "Everybody grows up." "One can't always be a little girl." "In my heart, you will always be a little girl." "Right." "She's still being breast-fed." "Uncle Pingnan, what brings you here?" "I'm here for two reasons." "The first is already written on the wall there." ""Heavenly Ku-sing, hovering fairy swordsman." "Fifteenth the first month, moon shines like the sun." "We fight just this once, atop the City Forbidden."" "I don't get it." "Is Snow your friend?" "Of course not." "He is my very very very VERY good friend." "I hope you can pass on these words to him." "If anyone of you here is a friend of Snow," "I welcome you to pass on my message." "It's difficult for me to explain to the emperor if you want to fight at the palace." "Snow and I are regarded respectively as "God of Sword" and "Sword Saint"." "A duel this sacred must be fought in the noblest place." "This can be difficult." "Tell your friend not to be late." "Yip Ku-sing, you said you are here for two matters." "What's the other one?" "Ghost King has stolen the emperor's Jade Imperial Seal." "The Seal is now in my hands." "I just want to return it to the rightful owner." "I have heard that your "Buddha's Pointer"" "can catch any weapon in the world." "Do you think you can catch this?" "Mine is nothing special..." "Thank you." "He is really a supreme master!" "Your Majesty, this Jade Imperial Seal was returned to us by Yip of Pingnan." "Our ancestors' seal, lost and now found." "Congratulations!" "Uncle Pingnan is highly skilled in martial arts, and he has been loyal to me." "I am considering what I should offer him in return." "Brother, why don't you ask him to stay here and teach me kung fu?" "You call that a reward?" "That's worse than kneeling on broken glass!" "How dare you to be so rude to me in front of my brother?" "!" "I dare not!" "The Four Guards are all gathered here today." "You must have something important to tell me." "Am I right, Liu?" "Your Majesty is wise indeed." "Your Majesty," "Master of Pingnan Yip Ku-sing is challenging Snow, the God of Sword to a duel on the 15th at the apex of the Forbidden City." "Up there?" "That would be fun!" "Your Majesty!" "This is an outrage." "Even if he is Master of Pingnan or the worlïs best swordsman, this can never be allowed to happen!" "A duel between two great masters is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion." "It will only disappoint everyone if I forbid it." "Perhaps Your Majesty would like to sell some tickets and make some serious bucks?" "Jin Guangda, with the men you have, how many do you think you can permit into the palace?" "Only eight, Your Majesty." "That's fine." "I will issue eight gold medals embroidered with a special emblem." "Whoever that holds this medal may enter the palace." "There are so many kung fu masters, but only eight medals." "Who is to decide to whom these medals are to be given?" "You, of course!" "You, you, you!" "Dragon 9!" "Tell me!" " Between Snow and Yip, who will win?" " Who knows?" "Go play with yourself!" "Don't go!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Hey!" "Don't go!" "I am an lmperial Agent." "I am a VIP, man!" "You should not make a fool of me in public like this." "What face do I have left?" "That's for not telling me who's going to win." "Tell me now." "You tell me!" "I'm asking YOU!" "Talk!" "One is my good friend, and the other a senior master whom I admire..." "I think Royal Uncle will win for sure." "How so?" "He's cool!" "And he has class." "I think his "Hovering Heavenly Fairy" stance is invincible!" "Don't go!" "You still haven't answered my question!" "Look at you!" "You're so unreasonable!" "Tell me who will win!" "If you keep following me, I'll kick your ass right here!" "Fine." "You dare to bully me here?" "Do you know where you are?" "You are the princess." "I wouldn't dare bully you." "And you also know kung fu." "There's no way I can beat you." "How about this?" "We'll grab two eunuchs and burn their asses with candles." "Now THAT's fun!" "I don't want to play that!" "You tell me who's going to win first." "Yip or Snow?" "I have something important to do." "I'll answer you when I come back, okay?" "Okay." "Let's go together." "Stop following me!" "BOO!" " You're such a nuisance!" " Wait!" "I've been busy lately." "I know you are busy, so I dare not bother you." "I can only miss you everyday." "Actually, I've written a letter to you." "Let me see it." "No way." "I'm afraid you will look down on me." "I will only be touched." "What if you recite it to me?" "No, no, no, no." "If you say no, then I'll never miss you from now on." "Alright, but promise me you won't laugh at me." ""Brother 9, haven't seen you for days." "I miss you so much." "You know I'm not a scholar, so I don't know what to say." "Am I a fool?" "I just wish you would come back and see me soon." "Lastly, I wish you longevity and luck." "All the best."" "That's it." "This is the most touching love letter I've ever heard." "Really?" "You'll accept it?" "Total charge is 50 taels." "50 taels?" "Are you paying me?" "We've played this "love letter" game twice already." "I cried my ass off last time, but this time I only shed two tears." "Why don't we play something new and more exciting?" "What shall we play then?" "I heard there's a fun oral trick floating around the brothel circles." "It's called..." "It's called "Playing the Flute"." "Do you know how?" "You are bad!" "No way!" "We'll play something else!" "Okay." "How about "Back Alley" or "Blowing the Bamboo"?" "You creep!" "You play with someone else then!" "How disgusting!" "What's this thing?" "It's so long!" "That's just the skin." "You haven't even reached the real thing yet!" "So you want something new." "Why don't we play some mind games?" "Don't you know I am the lmperial Agent?" "I've solved numerous cases and have been called the God of Logic." "You want to play these games with me?" "Fine, I'll play with you." "Go ahead." "Okay, let me test you." "A woman has two arms and two legs." "That's four limbs, right?" "So how many limbs do men have?" "Men have five limbs, of course!" "So when you add a man and a woman, how many limbs are there?" "When they are banging?" "Yup!" "They should have..." "Nine limbs." "Not exactly." "Eight?" "Nope." "Eight is not right, and nine is not right either." "The correct answer is..." "Eight and nine, then eight," " Then nine," " Eight and then nine!" "Eight and nine..." "But the one I've been used to is always eight and a half, then eight, then eight and a half..." "What is it?" "There are a lot of people here looking for you, Master Dragon." "They don't seem to have good intentions." "Got it!" "I have to go outside." "Wait!" "You'll expose your naughty bits." "Fine with me." "You charge extra only when you expose yours." "I'm staying." "Let's study this seven, eight, nine limbs thing." "Come out!" "Come out!" "Calm down, everybody." "Relax." "I'm not here to close your business." "I come here today as a customer and a consumer, just like all of you." "I'm here to take a bath with her, and I also will pay full price." "No perks for me." "Gold Moustache!" "You bastard!" "You exposed my identity?" "That's right!" "I am indeed an lmperial Agent, and Gold Moustache here is the capital's triad leader." "We mind our own business," "but we are also good brethren." "My psychic told me that, in my past life, we also shared the same woman." " My dear brother!" " My dear brother!" "I woulïve been mad as hell if she was with someone else." "Master Gold!" "Hey!" "This is just a brothel." "What's with all the blades and swords?" "That's right." "We've all come here for you." "Who are you?" "I don't know you." "I'm the one who's good at drinking, gambling..." "Good your mama!" "Aren't you "Immoral" Wu, the guy who has everything except morals?" "Hey..." "HEY!" "Coming!" "You placed a bet with him?" "Yes, I am betting on all of my assets." "I bet that our good buddy Snow will win, but he is betting on Yip!" "I can't help you this time." "Snow is invincible." "How can he lose?" "He may be before I met Yip." "When I saw his "Hovering Heavenly Fairy" stance..." "Was it powerful?" "Very powerful." "Very powerful?" "Really?" "Very powerful indeed!" "Really powerful..." "You are a gentleman." "With so many witnesses, you can't rescind on your words now." "You won't know who will win until the duel!" "We are good friends of Snow." "No matter what his chances are, we will always support him!" "Good luck, Snow!" "Good luck, Snow..." "Good luck, Snowman!" "What Snowman?" "Just Snow!" "Good luck, Snow!" "Dragon 9, I haven't finished yet." "Actually, I've come here for you." "Are you nuts?" "Men come here to look for hookers." "Why were you looking for me?" "I want to buy a medal from you!" "How do you know?" "The four lmperial Guards asked you to issue eight gold medals, so eight lucky ones can enter the palace to watch the duel." "The whole kung fu world knows about it!" "Everyone knows that, right?" "Even the paparazzis are interested in this?" "There'll be no secrets in the kung fu world from now on." "I have placed such a large bet with Gold Moustache." " I'm certainly qualified to watch..." " Qualified my ass!" "It's not up to you." "Is my decision!" "So, are you selling or not?" "How much?" "Ten thousand taels." "Ten thousand taels?" "The price is that and 449 times more!" "Make way!" "Listen, everyone!" "This just in!" "Yip is meeting with the three Tang Brothers at Chun Hua House." "Let's go there and watch, shall we?" "Yeah!" "Let's go!" "Well?" "Has the fight started?" "Tell me, handsome." "Why do you all look so serious?" "Can't you see that the leading man has yet to make his grand entrance?" "Boring!" "What a coincidence!" "You are so late!" "I thought you wouldn't come." "Why?" "Make way!" "Soon, Uncle Pingnan will use his "Hovering Heavenly Fairy" stance and kill Tang Fei and Tang Ao in one blow." "That'll be so cool!" "No wonder no one dares to sit around them." "So what?" "Let's go over, sit down, have some tea and wait for Yip to appear." "The Tangs of Szechuan are famous for their use of poison." "That's why no one dares to go near them." "Those two guys are sweating like pigs on such a cool night." "Dragon 9!" "You promised to sell me a medal!" "Get lost!" "She is not of ordinary heritage." "I really hope we can find Snow soon." "We must take revenge ourselves and not let him die in Yip's hands." "Yip Ku-sing!" "He has to pull a stunt every time he appears." "The money he spent on those girls must be huge!" "So you are Tang Fei." "Yip Ku-sing, I will avenge my big brother Tang Ling today." "The Szechuan Tangs have four famous brothers." "Tang Ling died under my sword." "There are only you two." "Where's Tang Yung?" "He's still looking for you!" "Yip Ku-sing, either you die today, or I die!" "You're not my match." "I have brought with me today the Tangs' top weapon." "What's that?" "It has 199 pins." "Once they're released, no one can escape, not even a mosquito." "Friends, this matter is between Yip and me only." "Please stay away." "None of my business either!" "I advise you not to fight." "We Szechuan Tangs' weapons and venom are feared by everyone in the martial arts world!" "Not by me." "I just want to tell you." "Once I draw my sword, it must shed blood." "Don't regret it." "You're really not scared?" "How can a bit of dust be poisonous?" "Yip Ku-sing, you are truly the God of Sword." "Holy shit!" "He toppled Chun Hua House with just one stroke!" "Our bet is final." "You can't back off!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "I've told you." "You shouldn't have forced me to fight." "Wait for me!" "Something's wrong." "But I don't know what it is." "That's the problem!" "Show yourself!" "Come out." "Hi." "You were really great!" "Are you hurt?" "Are you all right?" "If you can keep the secret, then I will let you live." "Of course I won't tell if you ask me not to." "I don't know anything." "Are you all right?" "Have a seat there." "How are you feeling?" "You better go." "This place is too dangerous." "Remember." "You promised you would not tell others." "Otherwise, they will take advantage of my injury." "I can go find the Tianshan Snow Lotus." "It can cure all kinds of poison." "I'll bring some back for you right away!" "You must hide yourself." "But..." "How can I find you if you're in hiding?" "Leaf?" "I'll come see you when I hear its sound." "This leaf can make a sound?" "Let me try it!" "Can you do it again?" "You have to be gentle." "Let me!" "Now I know." " Is that right?" " Right." "Yip Ku-sing, I will find the Tianshan Snow Lotus to cure you, so you can fight Snow in perfect health." "Wait for me!" "You're up." "You have lost consciousness for ten days." "There's no hurry to kill me." "Why did you save me?" "Duty." "Do you know this is worse than death for me?" "Although my master killed my three sisters, he was the one who raised me." "What has that got to do with me?" "Why am I the only one left alive?" "And living at my enemy's house." "What would others say?" "Naive." "Fine." "To prove my innocence..." "Today is New Year's day." "This cake is our family's most famous pastry." "It's called the Wife Cake." "Come and buy some fish!" "It's good fortune for the New Year!" "Why are you giving red money packets to everyone?" "It's the New Year." "As long as they say "Happy New Year" to me," "I'll give them red money packets." "How much is in each packet?" "Each packet has 100 taels in it." "100 taels?" "!" "You don't even know them!" "I will lose all my fortune to that bastard Wu anyway..." "Don't curse on the New Year." "Yes... to that "immoral" Wu." "I'll spend as much as I can first." "So you are saying that our friend Snow is bound to lose?" "Didn't you see Yip's moves at Chun Hua House?" "Do you really believe someone can have quicker moves than his?" "I still feel there's something wrong." "What is it?" "It's right that Yip's "Hovering Heavenly Fairy" is powerful." "But..." "I really think something is not right." "And I probably wouldn't know what it is until the duel." "But your friend Snow..." "do you think he would show up?" "If he doesn't show up, then the duel is off." "Then I don't have to lose my fortune." "Are you listening?" "Two bastards are in my way." "So, it's you two bastards!" "Come!" "Say "Gung Hey Fat Choy" and I'll give you a red packet." "Dragon 9." "Your good friend Snow..." "Is he going to show up today or not?" "Your question is the same as his." "Did you conspire with them or what?" "I've never seen them before." "Who are they?" "They are two of the "Seven Tianshan Siblings"." "The one who talks is Yen Zizhun, and the other one is Xiao Zichong." "You and Snow killed my master." "We brothers are going to get even with you today!" "You can't say that." "One has to honor the laws of the land." "Your master is a serious criminal, and I am an lmperial Agent." "Of course I have to arrest him." "But he resisted." "It's only fair that I fought back." "My master is definitely not Ghost King." "He was framed." "Hey, your sister Ye Ziqing is still alive." "Go ask her about how he killed her three sisters!" "Bullshit!" "It was Snow who killed our three sisters." "Ye Ziqing survived and, out of lust, had an affair with him." "If I see them, I swear I will kill them both!" "Watch what you're saying." "If he hears you, then..." "Then what?" "Then, he only needs to tap your heads gently, and your skulls will crack." "Nonsense!" "Snow is not here today." "Dragon 9, you'll die first then!" "Come on!" ""Telepathic Microsteps" and "Buddha's Pointer"." "Powerful!" "I'm really worried about my fingers." "I deal with a lot of rookies like you two." "If I'm not careful and break one of them, then I can only do THIS!" "You two troublemakers are inviting death!" "How do you want to deal with them?" "They are just kids." "Let them go." "Brother!" "Brother!" "He's dead, with no drop of blood spilled." "Who coulïve done that?" "Snow..." "Do you have proof?" "Stop bullshitting!" "Brother, look!" "Whare you doing?" "Don't move!" "Look behind you!" "They're all my men." "I know them." "This doll is Liu, the lmperial advisor." "And this one is Hawk." "My younger brother is Mr. Skillful's best apprentice." "He can make clay dolls out of anyone he has seen." "This means that these three people killed him." "But Liu doesn't know kung fu." "Snow...?" "Hawk is even worse." "He only knows how to gamble." "So the killer is this one." "But his face has been pressed." "It could even be you!" "So, what now?" ""He who kills and spills no drop of blood"" "Could he really be Snow?" "This is some big shit." "Liu, go and get the Tianshan Snow Lotus for me now." "Yes." "Sister, who are you giving this Snow Lotus to?" "This Tianshan Snow Lotus is very precious." "I want it for myself." "I heard it is good for the eyes, the skin, and for general health..." "Lying to the emperor is punishable by death." "Phoenix knows." "Tianshan Snow Lotus' main usage is to cure venom." "I don't care whom you give it to." "Anyway, it's good that you're using it to save life, not to hurt it." "Thank you, brother." "I knew you are an understanding emperor." "And you are full of tricks." "Tell me, are you in love with someone?" "Of course not!" "No one?" "NO!" "You're our family's precious jade." "Like me, you are of royal blood." "You have no right to choose the one you love." "We are the envy of commoners." "But I envy them more, because they can choose whom they love." "What you've just said is absolutely right." "However, you must have found someone you love." "So, is there someone?" "Tell your brother now!" "I've told you, no!" "No?" "Are you telling me or not?" " No..." " Tell me, yes or no?" " No!" " I'll draw on your face!" "This is Eunuch Yuen." "He will take us to Hawk's gambling house." "So you are the famous Imperial Agent Dragon 9!" "You are so handsome!" "I really dig you!" "Brother 9!" "Why are all eunuchs like this?" "Bear with him." "Just treat him as your girlfriend." "With your looks, they all will go after you." "This palace is like a maze." "Without me guiding you, you'll get lost for sure." "You may even end up in my room!" "If I am so unlucky as to go to your room," "I'll bust your head in one blow." "You are so bad!" "Normally, the eunuchs and the guards can't roam around the palace." "So Hawk has found a discrete place and set up a gambling house there." "Those eunuchs and guards began treating it as a private club." "Why is he so popular?" "Does he play "Pick up the soap" with you guys?" "Place your bet!" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "Three Sixes." "Dealer wins!" "I'm glad I was late!" "Aren't you Dragon 9?" "What do you want?" "Well, I know that you, Hawk, are a practical man." "If I want a deal, I'll have to place a bet with you, right?" "How do you want to bet?" "Up to you." "If you win, these 5,000 taels are yours." "What if I lose?" "I don't want money if you lose." "I just want to know..." "Who is this clay doll supposed to be?" "Where did you get this clay doll?" "Where are the others?" "It's with you!" "These three clay dolls were found on Shi Zilun's corpse." "He must have found out something he shouldn't have that led to his death." "Fine." "I'll bet with you." "We'll play dice." "Whoever gets the greater number wins." "Okay." "Are you really betting with him?" "Do you know what his other nickname is?" "Sure." "He's the "Dice Devil"." "Thas right." "Everyone calls me the Dice Devil." "I have never lost." "Come on." "All 18 dices are 6's." "That makes 108." "I am done." "Your turn." "Fine." "You're done?" "Yes, and I have won too." "That's one point greater than yours." "One point greater!" "You call that "shaking the dice"?" "!" "You didn't say I couldn't shake it this way!" "You..." "What about me?" "You've got so many fans here." "Be a gentleman." "Fine." "Dragon 9, you are indeed cunning." "Everybody knows that." "So, can you tell me who this clay doll is now?" "I never thought he would overhear our meeting." " He was..." " Look out!" "He's dead!" "Stop fooling around!" "He's killed to keep his mouth shut." "Whoever did this must be a skilled martial artist, and very vicious too." "Of the three dolls, one is dead and one remains unknown." "The only one left now is Liu." "Wait!" "Why are you in such a hurry?" "Liu is dead!" "We are going to his funeral." "Yip Ku-sing, where are you?" "Hope nothing bad happens to you." "Why do you sigh?" "Why are you here?" "There have been two deaths at the palace." "So I came to see whas going on." "How's your injury?" "This is the Tianshan Snow Lotus." "You better eat it now." "For you, I'll recover as soon as possible." "Then, I can soon get ready and win." "I know you will." "Thanks." "The emperor?" "Does he know about the duel?" "He knows, and he knows you will win too." "Between the two of us, one of us will lose." "It is not who wins that is important." "If we don't fight, I'm afraid it will never happen again." "I'm sure you will win." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "Yip Ku-Sing, whether you win or lose, live or die, I'll be by your side." "What's with you?" "I blocked the sun for you and you kicked me!" "Where's Yip Ku-sing?" "Yip Ku-sing?" "He was here?" "Were you two making out here last night?" "Can you stop talking bullshit for once?" "Is Yip really hurt?" "No comment!" "I dare not ask if Your Highness doesn't want to answer." "But, I just want to remind you." "Remind me of what?" "Mastering the sword is a very lonely business." "To be an invincible swordsman, he must bear loneliness which no normal person can bear." "As his woman, it is even more difficult to describe the pressure she has to suffer." "What you've said was too deep for me to comprehend." "If you fall in love with a swordsman, you have to share his loneliness, and also suffer the torment of losing him at any time." "Is not that easy." "It's funny to see you talking to me so seriously." "Fine." "I'm going to investigate now." "Want to come?" "Investigate what?" "Shi Zilun truly is my finest apprentice." "He has mastered 70% of my crafts." "Mr. Skillful, can you restore this clay doll?" "I am his master." "What do you think?" "No one has ever been so rude to Mr. Skillful." "Give me an hour." "I guarantee I can restore this clay doll to its original state." "Soon we will find out who really killed Shi Zilun." "This murderer is so eager to shut his mouth." "There must be a great conspiracy behind all this." "You call this logic?" "Hey." "Why are you two still here?" "Waiting for you." "How can I work with you watching over me?" "You two can go for a walk and come back in an hour." "Let's go then." "Well, we have a whole hour." "What can we play to kill time?" "Who has time to play with you?" "This sunset walk with you is too romantic for my taste." "I'm going to puke and poop at the same time." "You are so full of it." "I walk with you because I think highly of you." "If only you were Jade." "She is very understanding, and her body is so hot." "I know no matter what I do, you won't treat me like a girl." "But you are a girl." "You are also the sister of the emperor, Princess Phoenix." "Who dares to flirt with you?" "What difference does a princess make?" "A princess can also fall in love!" "A princess can also love and be loved." "Are you telling me you've fallen in love with that..." "If you keep rattling on like this, I'll kill you!" "White Cloud City Chief Yip is of high acclaim, and he is also a relative of the Royal Family." "I am only concerned about him." "Have you ever thought the killer might be Yip himself?" "Impossible." "I think the third clay doll may be Snow." "How come?" "Because he doesn't say much, and he has a wicked face!" "Snow is the bad guy..." "How funny!" "See?" "I've told you is him!" "Where's Mr. Skillful?" "He's here!" ""He who kills and spills no drop of blood"..." "Besides Snow, who else can it be?" "Impossible!" "Nothing is impossible!" "He must still be around." "If he fights with you, with your skills, do you think you can win?" "He will never fight with me." "That's right." "He will use even more despicable ways to deal with you." ""I had a little donkey..."" "Does this bring back your childhood memories of riding your wooden horse?" "Just like how I felt when I rode on your back as a kid." "Except my bones are all broken this time!" "Give me a break, will you?" "You're spared." "What place is this?" "Hey!" "You sneaky cowards!" "You used dirty tricks to trap us here." "Come down if you have the guts and fight with Dragon 9 alone!" "Yeah!" "Get your ass down here!" "Noblemen don't do dirty deeds." "I dare you to come down and fight me!" "Didn't you say that your "Telepathic Microsteps" is the best in the world?" "Come on." "Let's go!" "Okay, ready. 1, 2..." "It's not working!" "Let's try again. 1, 2..." "Why aren't we flying up?" "I forgot to tell you." "My "Telepathic Microsteps" is not for leaping." "It's mostly used to avoid weapons or run for your life." "You are bluffing again!" "But there is another method." "Then use it!" "Hurry!" "Help!" "Help..." "This is your other method?" "Not bad, huh?" "You don't have to practice, and it costs nothing." "Help!" "Help..." "Don't play with that!" "Wow, this is some umbrella!" "When I go back, I'll ask Dragon 7 to make me one too." "I'm scared!" "Hurry!" "Burn them!" "More fire." "Hurry!" "Burn them all!" "Don't cry." "It's okay now." "Don't cry." "It's only scorpions." "See?" "Even I am not scared." "So why should you be?" "Be good." "Stop crying now." "I HATE little animals." "They are all ASSHOLES!" "Scorpions are tasty and nutritious." "Smell it." "Dosen't it smell good?" "...Don't do it, or I'll slug you!" "Fine, fine." "Be a good boy now." "This is bad!" "Push it!" "Trade places!" "Help!" "Help!" "I never imagined that I, a hero called Dragon 9, would perish under such old-fashioned booby traps!" "What?" "You're so useless!" "You should talk!" "If it were not for your itchy hands, we wouldn't be trapped here!" "Dragon?" "Sai?" "Is that you, Sai?" "Sai?" "Who is Sai?" "If you are still my friend, then go now." "No way!" "I have lots of questions to ask you." "I don't even know where to begin!" "You shouldn't stay here long." "Aren't you going to help him?" "He doesn't need my help on this." "You think he only knows how to bake cakes?" "This is really delicious!" " Have some tea." " Thanks!" "No wonders no one knew you're in the capital." "The city is the best place to hide." "Our bakery has a hundred years' history here." "A hundred years!" "No wonder this is so delicious." "What is it called?" "This is the Wife Cake." "I like it very much too." "Les order some more then." "I want to take some home!" "Is really delicious!" "Hey, come on." "Eat!" "Look at you." "You eat like a dog!" "You call yourself a princess?" "But I am hungry!" "I followed you on your investigations and almost got myself killed." "And now you are lecturing me on how to eat?" "Just shut up and eat." "Do you suspect me?" "I'll find out after I ate this." "So you have decided to fight Yip at the apex of the Forbidden City?" "Yes." "Do you know how big the outside bets are?" "Maybe that's the reason why someone wants to frame you." "He must be a supreme martial artist." "He has the nerve to kill Hawk, Liu, and Mr. Skillful in my presence to keep them silenced forever." "There must be a big conspiracy behind all this." "But what are they doing?" "I really don't know." "Are there more people betting on me to win, or on Yip?" "On you!" "Gold Moustache regretted placing his bet on me." "You think I am lying to you?" "I even pawned my underwear to bet on you." "So you better win." "This... cake is delicious!" "What are you cooking?" "Borsch." "Foreign stuff!" " Try some." " Sure." "I heard he is very cool and cold-blooded." "Is that true?" "Not really." "I think he is very gentle and considerate." "I heard he only has feelings for his sword, and nothing else." "Not really." "I think he is full of passion." "But I heard he also killed your master!" "I heard that Princess Phoenix is a nosy dame." "I didn't believe it then, but now I do." "Fine." "I was just being a little bit curious." "We are both girls." "I just want to know what did you do to soften that heart of steel?" "As princess, don't you have a lot of people who love and care about you too?" "Everyone envies me for being born in a royal family." "In fact, I feel lonely and pathetic." "You have never been loved before?" "I don't know myself." "Then, have you ever truly loved a person?" "I don't know if I can call that love." "To love and to be loved by someone..." "That is indeed true bliss." "Eat your Wife Cake!" "I say you're going crazy from this marriage thing." "You're just jealous!" "I'm not!" "What's that?" "A message from our Tianshan Clan." "What do they want?" "It's my two brothers Yen Zizhun and Xiao Zichong." "Your master's killer is right here." "Aren't you going to kill him?" "We've found out that our master was indeed the bandit Ghost King." "Regardless, he is still our master." "It was he who raised us." "As disciples, we should take some responsibility." "I've told you so." "Sai has nothing to do with Brother Shi's death." "You call him by his nickname now?" "Then you two must already have a sexual relationship, right?" "I think the ones who put poison on us are the same killers." "They want us to keep quiet for good." "But Snow could still be a possible suspect." "That is impossible." "A superior swordsman would never resort to using poison." "Thanks." "You've still got that cool, even after courting all those babes." "You've asked him to come, yet you do not seek revenge." "What do you want from us then?" "We have a favor to ask from you two." "Say it." "I'll do my best to help." "Please take good care of my sister." "There's just one more thing, Master Dragon 9." "I need two gold medals from you." "Wow!" "Talk about a favor!" "Do you know what the asking price is right now?" "How much?" "It's 5 million taels a medal!" "But, if you really want it, just give me a red packet." "Thanks." "Access to the palace is now forbidden." "Don't you know who I am?" "I am Princess Phoenix!" "Sorry, but no one will be allowed without His Majesty's permission." "Let me tell you." "I am not in a good mood." "I'll give you one more chance." "Are you letting me in or not?" "But..." "Your Highness, they are only following orders." "Please don't make it difficult for them." "I only want to find someone that I need to see." "Is that such a big deal?" "Who does Your Highness seek?" "Thas none of your business!" "But of course." "However, if Your Highness needs to find Yip Ku-sing, then perhaps I can be of service." "You know where he is?" "I have placed a bet myself." "Therefore, I have a duty to protect him until tonights duel." "Take me to him." "Yip Ku-sing." "It's you?" "You don't look too well." "Have you recovered?" "I'm fine now." "I have seen Snow in action." "He is not as powerful as your "Hovering Heavenly Fairy", but his stances are amazingly fast, and very strong too." "That's good." "Why?" "If he is not a supreme master, then it's meaningless for me to fight with him tonight." "But you have not fully recovered yet!" "Really, I am fine." "Then... can you change the date?" "Of course not." "No one can back out from tonights duel." "And neither one of us can change it." "The duel is inevitable." "Men are that strange." "Honor is more important than life." "We can die tonight, but we can never back out." "Why can't I get to know you before the duel?" "Whatever happens tonight does not matter." "As long as you are by my side, then I'll have no regrets." "Really?" "Would I lie?" "No one has ever thought highly of me in my whole life." "Do you know that I am the illegitimate child of King Pingnan?" "I have royal blood." "But I can never be Emperor." "That's why I have spent my entire life practicing my sword, so that I can be king in the realm of swordplay." ""The victor becomes King, and the loser a bandit"." "You will win." "Thanks." "Are you ready?" "Do you love me?" "Do you know that every girl wishes the one she loves would answer that question?" "You'll understand." "You have to come back." "I will wait for you." "No need!" "If you wish, Sister-in-law, you can come along too." "Who is your Sister-in-law?" "From the way you embraced him just now, you're definitely my Sister-in-law." "Well?" "Tonight, all eyes will be on this once-in-a-lifetime event." "Sadly, the emperor has only issued eight gold medals." "I've given five to people I could care less." "Now I have three left." "If you really want to go, I can give one to you." "I'm not going." "Don't want to or dare not to?" "I want to wait for him here." "That's good." "No one knows what will happen tonight." "Besides, the other fighter has yet to appear." "Don't worry." "I will return." "Let's go." "Hey, don't be so selfish." "You've got one, but I've got one too." "Give me some time." "I'll be back soon." "Jade." "I haven't given you anything good in all these years." "You always know how to make me laugh whenever I'm sick of work." "Tonight is an important occasion, and it's not just for Snow." "Even I am not sure if I will come back." "Therefore, I want you to stay by my side." "We'll watch the duel together." "Are you really willing to take a woman from the brothel and acknowledge her as your lady?" "Nothing wrong with that!" "I am not much better myself." "I learnt my special kung fu from being a theater usher." "I pointed audiences to their seats." "Here." "Put this on." "You want me to wear this?" "It's so ugly!" "I don't want it." "You don't want it or you don't want to wear it?" "I'm not going." "Why not?" "Because I want you to know that there is a woman here waiting for you." "You have to come back!" "Okay, I promise." "I shall return!" "This umbrella can do anything..." "except block water!" "Who's the fucking asshole that did this?" "Do you know how much I HATE women who don't swear?" "I really like you like that!" "I love you!" "Blowout sale!" "100 taels for one medal!" "It's now or never!" "You want one too?" "Thanks!" "Hey, kid!" "I want one!" "Blowout sale!" "How many medals did the emperor actually give you?" "Eight total." "I gave them to you, Wu, two of the Tianshan Siblings, Honest Monk, and Reverend Wood." "I was holding out the remaining two for Jade and Snow's girl." "Turns out they both didn't want it." "The whole city is having "Duel" fever." "Everyone claims to have a medal, and that they can use it as a pass to enter the palace and watch the duel of the century." "It's like going to a concert!" "Don't you worry." "Our goldsmith Nie Kung issued the eight medals." "One look and he can tell which ones are genuine." "Be quiet!" "Silence!" "Don't push!" "Are you saying that mine is a fake?" "Do you know that I spent 5 million taels on this?" "Be quiet!" "Good, Dragon 9 is here!" "Go ahead, ask him if my medal is genuine or not." "I have indeed given out the medals, but I only gave out six of them." "And I don't understand why so many people also have one." "Dragon 9, my medal is genuine, right?" "More genuine than your mama!" "Dragon 9, what shall we do now?" "This time I've run out of ideas myself." "You let me in!" "Saimoon Tsui-shih." "This sword of mine is named "The Giant"." "3 feet 8 inches long." "It's forged from ice cold metal." "It can slice the thinnest of hair, and has tasted the blood of 178 famous swordsmen." "Mine is 3 feet 9 inches." "Forged from iron of the Far West." "It is not worse than yours." "So, is your heart at peace?" "We will fight next year." "Tang Ao!" "Give me the antidote!" "The poison in me has been passed on to you." "You are dead for sure!" "I... am... not..." "Yip!" "Tang Fei?" "!" "No, no." "You can't die!" "Where is Yip then?" "Who's there?" "Who are YOU?" "How dare you!" "I am the Emperor." "You sneak into the palace and put on the dragon robe." "Do you know your whole clan will be executed?" "How dare YOU!" "I am the real Emperor, chosen from the heavens." "You have dwelled here and stolen my throne for years." "If you kneel down and beg me, I will spare you from death." "You..." "You are too much!" "Your two Majesties, please allow me to speak." "Liu?" "Aren't you already dead?" "Haven't you heard of the "Vampire Herb"?" "A person is "dead" within 24 hours of consumption." "The body became stiff and breathing stopped." "It's no different from being dead." "Guards!" "Your Majesty, all the guards are still watching the duel at the palace." "Yip Ku-sing?" "That's right." "But the real Yip is here, ready to be crowned." "So you two have conspired to overthrow me." "You and I are both linked by royal blood." "But I am much smarter than you, and my kung fu is invincible." "Why was my father exiled to Pingnan for being an illegitimate child?" "And I even lost my title because of the same fate." "I had to go by my mother's last name." "May I ask... is this justice?" "These are royal rules." "We could only obey." "If I become emperor," "I will improve our people's livelihood and expand our boundary." "Our prosperity will even surpass the Tang and Han dynasties." "Our land will be stronger than at the times of Genghis Khan." "Think about that." "Think of how worthwhile your death will be in history." "Do you think the people will obey you if you take the throne by killing me?" "Not to worry, Your Majesty." "I have been your servant ever since you were a child." "I am thoroughly familiar with all of your facial features." "Therefore, I have made a replica of your face out of human skin." "When the new emperor takes over your throne after you die," "I am sure no one will recognize the difference." "A year from now, "I" will see my brother Yip in the West by chance." ""I" will suddenly feel a summoning from the Almighty, and become a monk, thus passing my throne on to Yip." "Then the country will prosper, and the civilians will adore me." "Great!" "So you have a foolproof plan." "Draw your sword." "Why?" "I never kill those who are weaponless." "Heaven has appointed me." "If you want to act against Goïs wishes, then go ahead." "Allow me to perform the service." "I dare you!" "Invincible Magnet Umbrella!" "It can attract all weapons on earth." "Daggers too!" "Just the two of you?" "Your Majesty!" "Do you know how I knew of your plan?" "Because the Jade Imperial Seal you returned last time was just too immaculate." "The real seal has one of its corners deliberately broken." "Shi Zilun knew of your conspiracy with Hawk and Liu." "So you have to kill him." "The third clay doll was actually you!" "Hawk is really dead, and his death was a fake." "You shifted everyone's attention to the duel at the Forbidden City's summit, so the lmperial guards had no time to protect the emperor." "And you could then sneak into his quarters and take over the throne!" "Yip, you put up an act with Tang Fei at Chun Hua House, so you could cheat me into believing that you're wounded, and to also win my pity for you, right?" "Vengeance is slow but sure." "Tang Yung was unaware of the conspiracy, so he killed his own brother by mistake." "The cat is now out of the bag." "Yip Ku-sing..." "You have cheated me and used me all along." " Guards!" " Here!" "Arrest Yip Ku-sing and Liu Tung!" " Yes!" " Stay right there!" "Do you think you can arrest me?" "Of course I can't, but there are 50,000 soldiers and 800 Imperial Guards out there." "You can fight until you are totally exhausted, and you will die all the same." ""Why did a nobleman choose to become a thief?"" ""The victor becomes King, and the loser a bandit."" "At this point, I have only one request." "Speak." "That Your Majesty will allow me to duel with Snow on the apex of the Forbidden City." "I will regret it for the rest of my life if I cannot fight tonight." "How dare you!" "You are not in a position to negotiate!" "Why not?" "Uncle Pingnan, you are a nobleman." "Although illegitimate, I have always considered you a hero." "I permit you to duel with Snow." "Regardless of the outcome, I will grant you your own death." "What say you?" "Thank you, Your Majesty." ""Night of the full moon, summit of the City Forbidden."" "May you have a fair duel." "I don't mind if you lie to me, cheat me, or even use me." "I just want to know one thing." "Have you ever really loved me?" "Yes." "Is that a lie?" "No." "The entire plan was well under my grasp." "There was..." "there was just one little mistake." "I never thought I would fall in love with you." "Then, do you wish me to be your wife?" "Remember what I said?" "No matter you win or lose, live or die," "I will be by your side." "I can do it." "Are you all right?" "Yip, how dare you!" "Get away from the throne!" "You approach him, you die." "Just go!" "I don't know how to say it." "Do you wish to be my wife?" "Of course I do." "I love you." "Yip Ku-sing..." "No matter you live or die, I will be by your side." "Don't worry." "They'll be fine." "Give me a hug!" "You hit my nuts!" "Here, let me massage them." "Not in public!" "So?" "You won't let me take care of you?" "Look at them!" "They're necking with each other too!" "I don't care!" "I waited for you for so long, my feet are sore!" "Fine, fine." "Let's go take a bath together, and I will rub your back." " How's that?" " Cool!" "I love you." "Leave them." "We'll go and play that eight and nine limbs game of yours." "You're bad!" "Can we go now, Sai?" "Come on!" "It's the New Year." "You've GOT to have a little whoopee!"
