Bloody Romance (Mei Zhe Wu Jiang / 媚者无疆)

What are you here for?

I'm the military physician sent by the Governor Wang of Zizhou.

How considerate of Governor Wang.

Thanks for the trouble.

Where's your official document?

The epidemic requires immediate attention.

I forgot to bring it when I left.

I seek for your kind understanding.

How is the situation in the city now?

It's not good.

Yesterday, the people were clamouring to leave.

Lord He beheaded one who initiated the brawl,

and finally managed to calm the turmoil.

"Wanted"

Let me rest for a while.

What are you doing?

Stop writing. I can't read.

You're worried about that terrible old lady, right?

She vomited so much blood. She must be dead.

Can't you let me stop and rest for a while?

I was just saying and you get so anxious.

I've just stolen two of her cucumbers,

and I've to look after you.

I'm at a disadvantage, all right?

Young lady, did I knock you down?

I made this for you.

How is that granny related to you?

Your grandmother?

It can't be.

I have never seen you in the village before.

She couldn't be your grandmother.

Sister, don't be upset.

Look. I've no one else too.

I'm doing quite all right too.

Don't cry.

Sister, don't be scared.

It's fine. I ran too fast and fell down earlier.

There's no use of tearing down all the portraits.

That's how her face is now.

Why?

- Why did she become like this? - Did you think she was just...

having tea and chatting in Grand Tutor Manor?

Also, you can't find her by running around aimlessly in the city.

The outbreak of plague first originated in Wei Jia Village.

You should start searching from there.

The location where the outbreak took place?

Why?

You have so many questions.

Why don't you ask yourself?

Why didn't you protect her when you were in Zhaixing Mansion?

It's so hot. You're having fever.

Do you want to drink water?

Wait for me. I'll get some water for you.

I'll get some food as well.

This is the last bit of food that I have.

Take a bite if you can't stand it.

I will be back soon.

Don't you die.

"Wanted"

A fugitive?

You. Stand there.

A thief?

Hurry up. Capture her.

How dare you steal from my shop?

Are you sick of living?

I've been infected with the plague.

Do you dare to get near me?

Come if you dare!

Forget it. Just a few buns.

That's right. Let her take them.

"Wanted"

Sister, here. Drink some water.

Here.

It's fine. I ran too fast and fell down just now.

Here. Eat the bun. It's a plain bun.

But it smells quite good.

My name is Xiao Xia.

I'm 12 years old this year.

Actually, you quite like my sister.

After our parents died,

my sister got married and took me along.

But that man always hits us and wanted to sell me away.

Later on, my sister saw the chance and let me escape.

I don't know how is she doing now.

I don't know if she has been beaten to death by that man.

Why did I tell you this? Here.

Eat the bun. Eat more.

This is the announcement of your arrest.

I tore it down from the wall.

More people have died in the North Street Market and Wei Jia Village.

The village chief reported to the regional military governor.

They're looking for you everywhere now.

Many in the village fell sick. It's said to be some kind of plague.

They said that you brought this disease to the village.

The prince just gave me a mission.

I'm lacked of one medicine inducer now.

Given your current situation, you can give me a lending hand.

Sister, what's the matter?

Eat something.

You haven't eaten since yesterday.

You ate because I wanted you to.

So, even if you've no appetite, you'll still eat. Is that right?

What do you mean?

Aren't you tired of living for others all the time?

I...

Actually, I don't get it.

Why would someone like you agreed to be Bloody Lotus Cult's chief?

I don't get it too.

Why did my foster father choose me?

In his opinion...

Bloody Lotus Cult has gravely sinned.

Only a very kind person like you,

can bring a little redemption for everyone.

You Chan.

What you've just said is a top secret.

I don't want you to mention it to anyone else.

You can't save the hundred thousands of lives in Ling City.

At times, you have to harden your heart a little.

I've vomited blood too.

From the looks of it, I've been infected with the plague too.

It's right for you to stay away from me.

Sister, don't come over.

Stay away from me.

Sister, don't come over.

Master Mei.

Your voice...

You want to kill me?

That's good too. Ling City has turned out this way.

I couldn't bring myself to go back.

What did you do to her?

Go on.

Hurry. Speak up.

I've injected Poison Gu into her body.

Ling City's people are infected by her.

The porcelain bottle that fell out of my baggage...

was filled with antidote.

It's gone now.

I can't save her either.

The only thing that I can do now...

is to recover her voice.

If everything goes well...

your voice will recover in seven to eight hours' time.

The prince said...

thousands must die for one to achieve his goal.

This is the price that must be paid for a greater cause.

It's been ten days since Wan Mei entered Ling City.

Half of the people in Ling City has been infected with plague.

The regional military governor, He Ba,

ordered to cut off the food and water supply and locked down the city.

Let us out!

Let us out!

Let us out!

"Ling City"

Master Mei.

Master Mei.

There's no point.

Let's return and see Xiao Xia.

I've performed acupuncture for Xiao Xia.

It can slow down her blood flow rate.

I hope that she can hold on for a longer period.

How is the situation outside?

The city has been locked down.

I was still looking forward to a miracle.

It seems impossible now.

Perhaps, there is still a way.

The prince told me this before I came.

If there's a change in the plan...

I have to at least kill Chief Lan Ruo.

But the people said that...

Bloody Lotus Cult has shut the passage to the mountain.

I am destined to fail the mission.

Why?

Why does the prince want to kill him?

Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia.

- You're awake. - Sister.

You're still here.

Tell me.

After I am dead...

will I be like the others?

Will I be burnt into ashes?

No, you won't die.

You can speak already?

I've just been cured.

That's great.

I want to get better too.

I don't want to die just yet.

Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia.

Don't worry.

I won't let you die.

Is the Poison Gu in my body...

exactly the same as the one spread by Yue Qing Ya back then?

Will there be any remaining antidote in Bloody Lotus Cult then?

Even if there is, we don't know where it's hidden at.

We can make them take it out on their own.

You're saying...

We'll go to the mountain and beg Lan Ruo?

But he's Yue Qing Ya's foster son.
