[Illusion arts are a form of mental assault. Illusionists often use agarwood, cinnabar, sandalwood, ]

[datura pollen, etc to trigger hallucinations in others. They also]

[employ hypnosis to warp people's minds and achieve their own schemes.]

Boss.

Why do we have to rob this illusionist anyway?

Yeah.

Word has it they practice dark sorcery and eat humans.

They can even shift into animal forms.

Creepy as hell.

Quit your whimpering.

Only the ruthless survive.

Grab the jewels he's holding today,

we'll live easy for the rest of our lives.

Go.

Told you there'd be prey here.

Look.

Heroes, spare my life!

Is that all the money you've swindled?

There's the rest.

Boss, we hit the jackpot!

Please let me go!

Fine,

you may go.

Thank you!

Ugh,

another con artist!

Let's move.

Qianling,

our chance! Let's go!

Look over there!

Ah, screw the plan!

This credit's ours for sure.

Let's move.

Wait a second.

Hold on.

Let's forget about it.

Head back and help the others instead.

No way!

Come on, hurry up, let's go!

Boss,

there's a woman.

Three gentlemen,

could you come help me?

Miss,

what's wrong?

I went to fetch water earlier.

Then I twisted my ankle real bad.

I can't walk an inch now.

Would you kindly

carry me to the inn up the road?

My sisters are waiting for me there.

Grab her.

Where is your home?

I'll lead the way.

Hurry.

It's right here.

This way, Boss.

Wow. Amazing!

It's breathtaking!

A true paradise on earth.

This is the spot.

Set me down.

Sister, what happened to you?

I sprained my ankle.

These three kind gentlemen saved me.

Entertain them well.

I'm off to rest.

Go on then.

Gentlemen,

You must be worn out.

This way please.

Alright, let's go.

Go.

Can't believe our luck.

What kind of luck is this?

Pure luck with the ladies, that's what it is.

Fine wine.

Smells incredible!

Drink up!

Bottoms up!

Here.

Boss,

look at the beauties.

Sit down and eat.

Come.

Some wine?

Let me taste that.

What are you doing?

Are you messing with my boss?

Beat them!

Sir, don't lose your temper.

Let me drink with you instead.

I'm gonna check on the others.

Hurry up and leave!

Calm down, sir.

Hey, look.

Come here.

Join us.

Come, join us.

Look, that one.

Come.

No thanks. It's too greasy.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Sir,

I only dared take a bite since you wouldn't touch it.

That meat's meant for the dogs.

Not for you.

Got it?

Get lost!

Hey, you're still grabbing it?

Stop eating it!

Who's there?

Come out!

Who's there?

Show yourself!

No punishment for a hungry soul who steals food.

Besides,

that meat fell on the ground by your own hand.

He didn't sneak it off you.

If you still feel upset about it,

I'll compensate you for

the loss in his stead.

Mind your own business!

Don't push me!

Go to hell!

Well struck!

Dear,

are you alright?

Are you alright?

Are you alright? Let's leave.

He deserved that beating!

Well done!

Thank you.

Well done!

Amazing.

Innkeeper, apologies for the ruckus.

Think nothing of it.

This lout's always stirring up trouble here.

I ought to thank you for teaching him a lesson.

Judging by your robes,

are you a constable?

I am Constable Mo Chen.

I'm new to this town to investigate a case.

Sir, if you need anything,

just say the word.

I require lodging.

Do you have any vacant rooms?

Absolutely.

I guarantee it's a finest guest chambers.

Follow me.

Okay.

Right this way.

Sir, pardon the intrusion.

I've sent servants to bring wine and food to your room.

Innkeeper,

I carry urgent official duties

I cannot drink alcohol.

Simple plain meals will suffice.

Understood.

I originally planned to give the thousand-year old mushroom to Master.

But Senior Sister snatched it away.

I'm dying to report her to Master.

Don't.

Our spiritual power's far too weak

to stand against them.

Even if we complain,

Master won't believe our word.

We'd better bite our tongues.

If only we could earn more merit

to win Master's full trust.

Master once told us.

All men

deserve death without mercy.

Treat them with the slightest softness

and they'll all fall for you hook.

Are all men truly like this?

Always out to take advantage of women?

I can't speak for every soul,

but I've yet to meet a single exception.

No prey in sight around here today.

I'll head over there to scout.

Strange.

This banknote was supposed to be

robbed from a merchant by three bandits.

Yet it's discarded right here.

What on earth went down?

Miss,

why are you wandering the woods alone deep at night?

Truth be told.

I stepped out to draw water.

A hare darted past

and startled me.

I fell and twisted my ankle.

Since I've crossed paths with you, sir.

Would you help me walk to the inn ahead?

My elder sisters will tend to my wounds there.

Walk you to the inn?

Miss,

men and women ought not touch one another.
