01x01 - The Bride Prince

[bunniefuu]

Ching su Weijun George, an Australian..

Miller.

One should let. What's on your Libyan run?

Jalay Chong? You, Dushyant. Harbor Lodge and chef

Man-chung Yoyes Tung Shin young the Ice highway. Lunch.

Rong. Yang Wei. Woodway to run by your trunk way..

For swimming, boating. Trade your whole way.

Drilling some kind. May. Guessing. Yeah. Viejo. Chen. Chen.

Tomkinson. Kendo.

I'm trying to shun whole. Man, Munch.

Bear.

Someone just descended. Quite an entrance. Who is..

It? A new arrival in heaven.

Oh, it's so noisy! Oh, my poor palace!

Most ascensions cause a bit of a ruckus.

But this one is about to bring the whole sky down.

It must be remarkable. Highly cultivated intelligence with its extraordinary, I'm certain.

You know, a couple hundred years ago,

the same thing happened when Prince Charles ascended. No. Not him.

Let's see who we've got.

Uh oh. You had to come back.

Congratulations, Your Highness. I'm pleased to report

that you've won the coveted award of official

most likely to be cast out of heaven.

Oh, I see. Somehow I find it

difficult to be excited about that.

Well, the prize is merit credits.

Oh, then count me in next time as well.

Guess who was second? That's tough. I might be unpopular

enough to take the top three all by myself.

Close enough. No one else received any votes.

So the list starts and ends with you.

So who was the previous winner? No one.

We began the contest this year specifically just this morning.

Lovely than it.. Would seem that I showed up just in time.

Do you know why you did so well? Not my fan club.

The bell. Look over there.

What bell? Very observant.

It's no longer there. It was shaken

off its tower when you ascended.

It fell on a heavenly official.

What is the situation now? It's under repair.

I meant the official. He was a martial god.

He cut the bell in half. Now observe this golden palace.

Well, it's not missing. Which is most unfortunate.

It's merely a temporary structure erected to take

the place of the numerous buildings you

devastated during your rather destructive ascent.

It's all my fault. I'm afraid so.

My first day back and I've made enemies already.

It's simple enough to fix. And how's that? Merit credits . million.

Though I know you don't even have

a th of that. Not even a thousandth.

We will cross that bridge in time.

I fear the bridge has been burnt.

I have a plan. Do you remember

the password to the telepathic matrix? Um.

This is a farce. Can we speed this up, please?

Is everyone in attendance now? The Emperor

of Heaven has an urgent matter to deal with in the north.

Could any martial deity spare a pair of officials to aid him?

I've heard no such news about His Majesty.

Are you asking on behalf of someone else? Perhaps.

Your Highness, there is a way for

you to earn merit credits quickly.

Lately we've been receiving a great many prayers from the North.

They've requested our aid in dealing with some dangerous ghosts.

Sadly, the Emperor is too busy and General Mingguang as well.

However, if you fill in. A wealth

of merit credits would be yours offerings as well.

Is it the crown prince you're helping?

I wonder how long he'll last.

This is his third time already. Give

him a few months at best. Try three days. He was banished in

a single tea break last time.

You don't want the prince to be expelled again.

So you cooked up this plan?

How terribly transparent. Though he certainly does need the help.

He's a laughing stock of the. No offerings and no believers.

This is just what I expected.

Hello everyone. I'm back.

Yes. We noticed, what with your destructive entrance.

I wasn't hurt. Unfortunately, your surroundings didn't

fare so well. Your Highness, the bell.

I heard word of the bell. Very sorry it hit you.

Pardon? But what is your name?

That imbecile.

Your Highness. It's Qianjin. General Shenzhen. You mean mu Ching?

Who tore down my palace?

Answer me. Was it you? Huh? Stop laughing.

I only played a small part. Ask the prince.

It was my fault. I'm sorry. Your Highness, that's Nanyang.

Yes, I know, but does he recognise me?

Likely not, as he's been in the

mortal realm and missed your ascension.

Please accept my apologies. I swear I will

compensate you. I simply need some time.

Well, I suppose we'll see how much your word is worth.

I have business to attend to. I'll take my leave. Farewell.

I have worked too. Me too. So long. I'm leaving. Good luck.

No, sorry. If it weren't for Shenzhen, that might have gone better.

It's normal for me to work alone.

Need weapons? I'm fine. I have been banished twice,

you know. I can't wield magical arms.

Not enough mana. Very well then. But do

be careful. It's an important task.

Feel free to contact me if you run into any complications,

and I'll do my best to help.

Here are the details. You're rather quiet. No questions.

Thank you. Lincoln. Uh. Just doing my job.

Really the one you should thank. Is the Emperor. I see.

May you have a safe journey. And wherever you go, I wish you

And may all taboos. Be shattered.

Oh. Did you hear about what happened on Mount Eugene? Oh.

Not again. Another missing person. When will it end, huh?

How many missing girls have there been?

Welcome. Good sir, please take a seat.

A pot of tea, please. Right. Uh, pardon?

Has anything strange happened here lately?

Speak no evil. See no evil.

Your Highness, can you hear me? I have some good news.

There are two junior officials from Middlehaven coming to aid you.

In fact, they should be there now. Junior officials.

By the way, one question.

Did you send them here to help me or to behead me?

Because they don't look happy at all. Wingman. Hello?

So you are.. Nanfeng.. Fuyao. I meant your position,

but names are nice as well.

Could you tell me what gods you're working for? Nanyang Shuangjiang.

I see. So then it was the two

generals who sent you here to aid me.

Actually they're clueless. We didn't tell them.

Do you two know who I am? The Prince of Chenliu.

A true beacon of virtue, a beloved ruler.

Did he just roll his eyes at me? Yeah. Kick him out.

He's useless. You should kick him out.

You weren't tricked into coming here against your will,

were you? We can all work together. Yeah. Of course.

All right then, getting straight to the point.

Our business is on Mount Eugene. They say

there's a ghostly groom living there.

A wicked and vile creature. He likes to kidnap young brides.

In the past hundred years, girls

went missing and countless members of their bridal processions were k*lled.

These tales escaped the notice of heaven

until an incident with the th bride's father, a noteworthy officer.

Aware of the legend, he chose gallant

escorts to protect his daughter as she traveled to her wedding,

though in the end they all failed.

Upon hearing the fate of his beloved daughter,

the officer came together with his influential

friends to give many offerings and prayers.

They even put a bounty on the ghost's groom.

Soon everyone in the north was talking

about it and a word reached heaven as well.

So our goal for this task is to capture the ghost.

Do all these brides have anything in common?

Some were rich, some poor. Some concubines and some not. So nothing.

Has anyone seen this ghost? They haven't.

In that case, how do you know

it's a ghost groom and not something else?

It's just a figure of speech, but I agree.

It's getting dark. We should find some accommodations.

What's that?

A wedding now these idiots.

Something's odd. Let's go see. Stop it! Yeah. What?

Stay back! They're just using you as bait

to lure the ghost groom. You can't go. Get away!

It's a doll. To you again.

Can't mind your own business, can you? Ugly.

This is all your fault to begin with.

You were supposed to dress up for us.

She is playing. That's the part you're focused on.

Is that Zhao Peng Toe and Miss Yang over there? Sure is.

He and his g*ng are always up to this sort of nonsense.

He caught wind of the bounty, and

now he's going after the ghost. Good luck with that one, huh?

This is too dangerous. If you go up.

You're just being greedy. Greedy? So what?

We're still k*lling a monster. It's fine.

It's honest business, isn't it? But this is su1c1de.

First, you won't dress as a bride.

Then we go alone. You stop us.

What do you want? Let us do our damn job!

Oh, wait, I get it. You love the ghost groom? No!

You sneak off to his mountain. We've all seen it.

You're hiding something, I know it.

Filthy thug.

Uh, I've heard the ghosts faces wrapped in bandages.

It sounds like a perfect.. Match for you.

Yeah. Who's that?

Mm hm. Get him! He's a witch. Yeah.

Well.

What's wrong? Are we fighting? I'll let you off this time.

Whoever you are.

We'll pay for repairs. Understood? Miss, are you all right?

What are you doing?

Your skirt! You pervert!

Your skirt is ripped.

Mind your own.. Business. Next

time people bite the hand that feeds them,

you should know that.. The bill is settled. You may go.

Thank you sir. Do you know where the nearest Minggang Temple is?

I'm sorry, but we don't have one here.

You don't? That's odd. However, we have a Nanyang Temple.

It's only five miles away. Turn right

once you pass through the city gate.

Strange. General Mingwang presides over the north.

He should have a temple here.

And young as well, liked, though even far away from his domain.

That's right. He's loved by all. I have a question, but..

If you think you shouldn't ask, then don't.

I was going to say I don't know who to ask.

No need to be shy. It's about the naming of the temple,

isn't it? The naming? Shut it.

Many years back, Nanyang was also known as Duke Yong.

However, a careless king once misspelled Duke with tragic consequences,

and before long, all Duke Yong temples became d*ck Yong temples.

People couldn't wait to spread the word.

It's been corrected. So you say. But even now,

Nanyang's temples are oddly popular with women.

And I hear as they make their prayers, their cheeks burn red.

You bastard! Go sweep the floors.

What was that? Or maybe serve tea.

Perhaps you should make the prince's bed like Shen Chen did.

What are you getting at? If you

want the prince to have the royal treatment, then do it yourself.

Better than abandoning him, isn't it? The prince brought trench into heaven.

But when things went south, he repaid

the prince's kindness by spitting right in his face.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Nanyang was the prince's sworn bodyguard, but that loyalty

amounted to nothing in the end. No, no.

The.

Don't eat that. Yeah. It's dirty. Wait.

First stop arguing about the prince. You

do realize that's me, don't you?

I won't be used as a w*apon in your petty feud.

Second. You're here to help me. So who's

in charge? You are. You are good.

Let's move on. Could I borrow some

mana, please? Huh? Use your own. I don't have enough.

This.

Hello Your Highness.

I hope things are going well in the north.

Are the junior officials to your liking?

Of course I'm grateful. They're quite charming.

That's good to hear. If you're still looking for accommodations,

find a Minggang temple in the north.

General Pei should receive offerings all year round.

We couldn't find a Minggang temple. So we're staying in Nanyang's.

You couldn't find his temple? How peculiar.

Do you have any more information to share on the ghost groom?

I do as a demon. It's classification as wrath.

In case you need a reminder, the ranking

is wickedness, ferocity, wrath then devastation.

That's one rank shy of the worst case scenario.

It could cause tremendous harm if we don't stop it.

Please deal with this quickly. Your Highness.

You were chatting for long enough. What's the situation?

The ghost groom is a wrath. We need to be cautious,

but we need to be swift. Any ideas?

The ghost is only interested in brides, right?

So we should use one as bait.

But a wraith won't be easily deceived.

So we can't use something like a doll.

But it doesn't go after every bride. There's some other factor.

It doesn't matter. Let's just get a girl and see what happens.

We can't. If we fail, then the girl will surely die.

All right. What should we do? Use a man.

But it would have to be one of us. And, uh.

Hmm. Uh.

What a sorry excuse for a bride. If I were the ghost.

You'd string her up.. And burn down her village..

Somehow. You're even worse than a rath. Uh.

Excuse me, sir. Oh. It's you. From yesterday.

All right. The dress. Please don't get the wrong idea.

This is to lure out the ghost groom.

Listen, I'm really sorry. I wanted to

make up for what happened before.

The teahouse owner said you were staying here,

so I brought some food as a token of my gratitude.

No, it's all right. It was no trouble.

By the way, I'm good at sewing.

Perhaps I could help you with your dress.

You might look prettier with a few alterations. Uh.

Everything all right? The sedan carriers we hired are more than capable.

They're skilled in martial arts and familiar with the area. Don't worry.

Just focus on your own safety.

They're trying to swipe our bounty.

Ying wouldn't help her own neighbors, but she'll help some stranger.

Little brat. While the mantis is preying on the cicada,

the sparrow lies behind them. Now go.

Excited about your wedding? It's a big day.

I'm a bit forlorn. There's something missing from the procession, you know.

There's something missing. Like what?

Two maids for the bride.

I'm afraid your family's too poor for maids. What a pity.

Landfill. Where are we right now? We've

been on Mount Yujun for a while.

Something wrong?

What's that? A child laughing.

I didn't hear a thing. Nor did I.

Perhaps I was the only one intended to hear it.

Whoa! Something feels.. Strange. Keep going. Act normal.

It's singing. About what?

Across the mountains in tears. Never smile

before the ghost crew a message or warning.

If not a trap. Better not to cry.

Laugh or cry. What's the worst that

could happen? You could be kidnapped.

In that case, I have something to tell you.

What? I've been smiling wide. This whole time. Him.

It's a pack of wolves. Wolves don't live here.

Yeah.

It must be a magic formation. Where's the source?

Fire! You can handle this. I assume they're just mutts.

What happened? Stay inside.

Sleep. Goblins. Things just keep.

Coming at this rate.. To wear us out.

Subtitling when mentioned this.

Not at all. How many?

About , perhaps more. Ten.

It's a handful. We can't hold out.

k*ll them.

I thought you couldn't wield magical weapons.

There are always exceptions. You should retreat.

Retreat! If you got the sedan. They'll

keep coming and you can't k*ll them all.

Pull back! And you. I'll wait till the groom shows himself.

I won't argue with him. We can come

back later. Come on, let's hurry.

This way quickly.

Ooh. Ooh.

Who's there?

Long ago, in..

The central plain, there was a kingdom known as Chenla.

The prince was known as Sheer Lion.

He cherished his people and in turn was beloved by all.

Tales of his valour were often told.

For you shall only.

He once saved a falling child on Shenmue Street.

And vanquished a demon with dazzling skill

.. On Union Bridge in.

The Heavenly Emperor saw great potential in this crown prince,

and thus he ascended to heaven at a very young age.

So.

A nation's betono.

sh**ting, you won't show.

However, the Kingdom of Chenla soon faced a terrible crisis.

The Crown Prince descended to the mortal realm to save his people,

but his efforts were in vain.

Oranges.

Fun was the G.

If you can't find a meaning in life,

then allow me to be that meaning.

Tingling thighs.
