Heaven Official's Blessing (2020) s02e02 Episode Script

1
I bet my hand!
I can't believe
the wager is a living person's hand.
ODD
No need.
San Lang.
Forget about one hand.
Even if it's your pitiful life,
it's not worth a penny here.
You must be really lucky.
I can't believe you get to meet him.
Our city lord
doesn't come to play here often.

But
didn't that person
also gamble his leg just now?
The legendary thief has a great Qinggong.
He's very light on his feet.
Naturally, it was worth using
as a bargaining chip.
But you
-are neither a craftsman
-Yes.
- nor a famous doctor.
- Exactly.
What can your one hand be worth?
Then I'll bet
my daughter's ten years of life!
He's betting his daughter's life?
What kind of father is he?
All right.
San Lang has always had good luck.
If they really gamble,
wouldn't it
Even numbers lose. Odd numbers win.
Once the dice cup is opened,
there's no turning back.
Please go ahead.
ODD WINS, EVEN LOSES
Odd.
Odd!
Odd!
I won!
I won!
Come on. That wasn't exciting at all.
Exactly. Why did he win?
We didn't come here for this!
- Thank goodness.
- Exactly.
Congratulations.
Your business will soon turn around.
Wait a minute!
I still want to bet.
I want everyone in my industry
to die horribly!
This guy is really greedy.
Most people just wish
for prosperity in business,
but this guy is causing harm to others.
He's so despicable.
It's even unbearable for a ghost like me!
It's not just one, but several lives!
Why do you care?
I want to bet on this!
I'm going to bet on this!
If that's not enough,
add my daughter's 20-year lifespan
and her future marriage!
This guy is insane!
He's selling his daughter!
Impressive!
With this bet,
- Even numbers lose. Odd numbers win.
- innocent people will be affected
-Once the dice cup is opened,
-no matter the outcome.
there's no turning back.
- It's none of your business!
- Please go ahead.
LIFE SPAN
- San Lang probably won't let this happen.
- Quiet!
But
Don't be impulsive.
Wind Master?
Why did you turn back into a man?
It's a long story.
After I separated from you,
a group of old and young ladies
dragged me into a shop.
They smeared things on my face,
touched, and patted me.
Can you see if my face is fine?
Does anything look weird?
I think it looks smoother and fairer.
Really?
That's great!
Is there a mirror? Let me see.
- Can you hurry? It's taking so long.
- Check it later.
- We can't use telepathy in Ghost City.
- Stop pushing!
- Don't get lost.
- Go away. You're jinxing my good luck.
Right.
If I hadn't arranged to meet Qianqiu
at the gambling house
and saw you as soon as I came in,
I wouldn't know where to find you
in this big Ghost City.
Did you arrange to meet Qianqiu?
Yes.
Lang Qianqiu,
the Martial God Prince Taihua,
who's guarding the East.
Hello!
It's him.
This gambling house
is one of the most lively
- and chaotic places in Ghost City.
- Can you hurry?
-Meeting here
-It has been ages.
- Move!
- with many people around
- won't easily reveal your identity.
- So slow.
If you can't bear the loss, don't gamble.
Odd.
This guy
I know what you're going to say.
But
this is the territory of Hua Cheng
and gambling
is a matter of mutual consent.
The Heaven Realm really can't interfere.
- Let's wait and see.
- Quit dilly-dallying.
If things don't work out,
let's think of something.
Open it!
All right.
- Open it!
- Come on!
Odd.
You
are evil-hearted!
It's one thing to seek wealth and status,
but to seek to harm others' lives!
-You even bet your daughter's life
-Wind Master.
- and marriage!
- Didn't you tell him
- to keep a low profile?
- You don't deserve to be a father
- and a human!
- I did,
but I can't help it if he's this way.
I understand.
How dare you come to my place
and cause trouble?
You've got some nerves.
Are you the owner of this gambling house?
Do you even know who you're talking to,
you ignorant kid?
This is our city lord!
Not just this gambling house,
but he owns the entire Ghost City!
Goodness, that's
Crimson Rain Sought Flower.
He has no idea what he's getting into.
Yes.
This is bad.
What about Qianqiu then?
I hope he doesn't reveal his identity.
This place is full of filth and demons!
You have no decency at all
for opening a shitty place like this.
Come on.
We're not even humans.
Who cares about decency?
- Exactly.
- Right.
Who are you to come here
- and boss us around?
- Who the hell are you?
Who do you think you are?
This place of mine
is meant for revelry.
You won't take the path to heaven
and break into hell.
What can we do?
You're done for!
Hua Cheng has already seen through him.
The lunatic is here to wreck the place!
If he transforms into his true form,
he won't be able to hide anymore!
He's completely immobilized.
- That's what happens when you meddle.
- His powers are sealed.
He won't be able to transform now.
Ghost City is Hua Cheng's territory.
It's good to seal his power.
- Serves you right for causing trouble.
- Heaven and Ghost Realms
- never mix.
- Busybody.
If they find out
the Martial God of the East,
-caused trouble,
-Grab his belt! Yank it off!
we can't easily settle this.
We caught this guy today.
Whoever is lucky enough
to win big can take him
and play around with him.
- Let's bet on big and small!
- Let's bet on big and small!
- Bet on big and small!
- Bet on big and small!
My goodness.
This guy looks quite delicious.
You idiot.
You don't know whose turf this is!
What should we do?
Should we go up and win him back
or just fight?
Seriously.
Wind Master, how is your luck?
Of course luck is something
that comes and goes.
Not necessarily.
Like me,
the highest I can roll with a dice
is two dots.
You have really bad luck.
Since that's the case,
let's play a game where the smallest wins!
If you roll two dots,
surely no one can roll smaller than you!
That makes sense.
I'll give it a try.
It'll definitely work. Let's go.
Come on. This game of the biggest roll
as the winner is getting boring.
Let's change the rule.
The smallest wins.
How about that?
- All right.
- What do you mean by All right?
- How can the smallest win?
- Exactly!
Why not?
Small.
Small.
What if we just start fighting?
Yes.
Everyone, please quiet down.
The city lord has something to say.
He said he's in a good mood today
and wants to play a few rounds with you.
Whoever wins against him
gets to take away this thing on the table.
Whether it's steamed or braised,
it's up to you to decide.
That's rare.
-I can't believe
-What do you mean by "this thing"?
- the city lord is playing with us.
- I'm not a thing.
- But who'd gamble with the city lord?
- How dare you use me as a bet!
We'll definitely lose.
Not necessarily. I might give it a try.
In that case,
may I have a chance to try my luck?
All right, please come forward.
Here.
You can go ahead.
Even though I'm forcing myself to do this,
but
this is
Forget it!
Wait a minute.
The city lord says
your dice-shaking posture is off.
So all my bad luck before
was because of my posture?
Then what is the correct posture?
The city lord
is asking you to come up.
He's willing to teach you.
Your Highness.
Is this guy going to die?
Who is this guy?
The city lord said he wanted to teach him?
Isn't dice-shaking just like that?
What's the correct posture?
Do you know how to play?
Which one do you want to bet on?
Big or small?
I want
to win big.
All right, I'll go first.
What's going on?
That's not right.
It's like this.
Follow me.
Is this how you do it?
Yes, that's right.
Open it.
Three dots.
Could I have really gotten the trick?
I'm sorry.
I lost.
This round doesn't count.
I'm teaching you right now.
- Do you call this a game?
- Do you call this a game?
What's the city lord doing?
Why is he really teaching him?
How can it not count?
When will it count then?
Please be quiet, everyone.
Another round.
All right.
See?
Isn't it a little bigger?
You're doing great.
Keep going.
Is San Lang just coaxing me?
You
Stop rolling!
He's obviously trying to cheat you.
- Ignorant kid.
- Ignorant kid.
- Shut up!
- Yes. What do you know?
Just stay there!
- Isn't two fours bigger than two threes?
- Exactly.
Our city lord taught him right.
He taught him well.
Look!
- Two fives!
- You
It's so useful!
- San Lang.
- Don't mind him.
Let's continue.
San Lang is just teasing me.
Hold on a minute.
Sir, I think you didn't say
what would happen if you lost.
- "Sir"?
- "Sir"?
Indeed.
If I lose,
I don't have any gold, silver, jewels,
or divine power.
My life span of a decade or two
as a heavenly official
seems to be worth nothing either.
Do you think I have anything on me
that's worth betting on?
It doesn't matter to me.
What do you have on you?
I
only have a half-eaten steamed bun.
All right. We'll bet that steamed bun.
What does this mean?
Am I only worth a half-eaten steamed bun?
Who is that? Why did you hit me?
What's wrong with a steamed bun?
You're getting off easy. Just shut up.
All right, this is the last round.
Don't get too nervous.
I'm not nervous.
I lost.
Congratulations,
this young master won this round.
The city lord lost perfectly too!
Impressive!
The city lord taught the winner himself!
- He's such a good teacher!
- Today was truly eye-opening.
I learned the correct way to roll the dice
and I've benefitted greatly!
That's ten years of benefits!
Since you lost,
it's time to let me down, right?
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Surely he let you go up there
to make you lose by cheating,
but luckily, you won!
It's the complete opposite.
If he didn't let me win
Xie Lian,
you beat me.
Why did the city lord
change his appearance again today?
We're going to die!
This new appearance of the city lord
is so fresh and full of vigor!
You'll die?
You died a long time ago, didn't you?
Next time then.
If you don't mind,
I'll show you my true form.
San Lang.
Don't make fun of me.
No. Why would I do that?
Thank you.
Why thank him?
He has been up to no good from the start
Your Highness, please stop.
Let's go.
City Lord, we can't just let them.
This person is suspicious
and incredibly strong.
His background is likely not simple.
Indeed.
Who knows if he's a spy
sent by another faction
to stir up trouble in our territory?
Wait.
Aren't you
leaving your bet behind?
Are you backing out again?
Bet?
San Lang won't back on his word.
Could there be another meaning?
In our bet earlier,
didn't I win?
That's true.
However, you lost a round before that.
But you said that round didn't count.
Of course your bets with me
don't count.
I was talking about the first round
you played down here.
I knew he wasn't planning
on letting us go so easily!
Well
Accept defeat if you're willing to gamble.
He's right.
So what do you say?
Do you agree?
I agree.
Then
give me the bet we agreed on.
Are you
referring to this?
I've got the bet.
That bread
seems to have gotten a bit hard
from being cold.
It's all right.
I don't mind.
All right then.
City Lord.
Where are you going next?
Today is a great day.
I'm going to Paradise Manor.
Fresh off the stove.
Pour me a bowl, will you?
- I'm sorry!
- Damn it! Why are you running?
That was a close call.
My face was white as a sheet just now.
Wind Master,
your face is still pretty pale.
That's not because of fear.
That's just my natural beauty.
Hey, Qianqiu!
You're a Martial God
holding down the fort.
If you get caught and word gets out
that a heavenly official snuck
into Ghost City in disguise, acted weird,
and caused trouble for the three realms,
how are we supposed to explain
to His Majesty the Emperor!
I'm sorry.
But those old gambling addicts
were driving me crazy!
I got angry for a moment
and just
You shouldn't have charged out like that.
If I didn't charge out,
nobody else would have.
Well
Forget it.
But Your Highness,
we do have important tasks to attend to.
So
let's be more careful in the future
and not let any clues slip.
All right, I understand.
All right.
I won't say anything anymore.
By the way,
Your Highness,
let me introduce you two.
This is the Crown Prince
of Yong'an Kingdom, Lang Qianqiu,
the Martial God of the East.
This is the Crown Prince
of the Xianle Kingdom, Xie Lian.
The one
A Heavenly official greatly trusted
by His Majesty the Emperor.
Are you the Crown Prince
who ascended three times?
That's me.
Thank you so much for your help earlier.
But Your Highness,
doesn't Crimson Rain Sought Flower
know you?
Why is he pretending not to?
Is that really Crimson Rain Sought Flower?
How could that be?
I saw him at the Half-Moon Pass last time,
and he was pretty much the same.
Hua Cheng's appearance changes a lot.
So this must be a fake skin too.
It's fake.
It's his true form,
but San Lang's appearance
hasn't changed much from before.
In that case,
during the first time he saw me,
he probably used his real form too.
Crimson Rain Sought Flower
obviously went easy on you.
Could it be to make us relax our guard?
Because of Prince Taihua's palm strike,
I think Ghost City's security
would be strengthened
and we won't be able
to change our appearance and come back.
Why don't we just go ahead
and be upfront about it?
Find Hua Cheng
and tell him
you came all this way just to see him.
No way!
Why not?
Your Highness Prince Xianle,
you two are friends, right?
Even though I don't think this Ghost King
is a good person,
he considers you a friend.
In that case,
we must not lie or deceive our friends.
Qianqiu,
you're such a stickler!
Prince Taihua
made a good point.
What's good about it?
If we go back empty-handed,
they'll say we're even less efficient
than Lingwen Hall.
How embarrassing.
What should we do?
What should we do?
Where's that little masked kid?
He ran this way!
Go after him!
What's going on?
It's nothing.
They're not looking for us.
This sound
Something is happening outside
Your Highness!
