- Yes.

Bring the wine. Go and pay.

See, it overflows.

Look.

You lost, so you're paying for it.

You should drink some, Young Master.

Damn you.

Master Suen, please don't.

Go away.

We haven't held such a big party in a long time.

I envy you.

The Master has placed his trust in you

very quickly.

Actually, I am happy, but I do have some worries.

I am afraid that I will disappoint you.

I've never made any bad judgements.

You two are a great help.

Just work together without arousing suspicion.

It'll be the end of that b*tch.

Ko, who wants to challenge me?

When will we set out to destroy her Happy Forest?

I want to have fun... I want to have fun...

You've messed up again.

Get lost, now take him away.

Let go of me.

What a jerk.

Master, may I be excused?

- Yes.

Hands off me, I want to have fun.

Good night.

It's you.

Master!

- Kill her!

Get her.

Are you Ho Ching? Why are you doing this?

This is Sister Ko's mission.

Suen always keeps the letter with him.

I will no longer be his woman.

I won't stand a chance

if I don't do anything now.

You are Ho Ching.

Ho Ching.

I failed. I can't face Ko again. Take care.

Don't. Ho Ching.

Brother Lui, I'm mourning.

I can't take on any jobs for a few days.

I'll report for duty in a few days.

Please inform Master Suen.

Ho Ching didn't disappear.

She has been staying with the Elite Villa.

Why did you cheat on us?

How else have you deceived us?

I've always treated you as my family.

I want to know why you raised us?

To kill? To get rid of your enemy?

Or do you want to be the leader

of the martial arts world?

Have you got any feelings. You are heartless.

Have you tried to understand me?

I have to cope with so much in order to survive.

Don't make excuses!

You are so selfish.

I don't know what you're thinking.

But I know you're after money.

Have you had enough?

I have never shed any tears in front of anyone.

I can't believe you would blame me like this.

I do feel sad about Ho Ching's death.

Do you think I love killing?

That money is my only reason for killing?

Ever since I entered the world of martial arts,

I've never had any choice.

I haven't smiled since I was born.

I am not happy, I am always scared.

What makes me feel good is that I am still alive.

But I have to pay such a high price.

Do I look like a woman?

Am I not attractive?

I understand. You don't know what I am thinking.

I don't want to be a puppet again.

I want to choose my own path.

It's too late to say that.

You know,

if we or the Happy Forest want to survive,

we must compete with others.

The Happy Forest and the Elite Villa

can't live side by side.

This is the rule of the martial arts world.

I don't care about rules.

I just want to know if it's the last time.

Stop asking.

I'd never hurt you, I am not your enemy.

In fact, I'll always protect you.

You have done everything well.

Have you ever thought about the pressure I bear?

Sometimes I ask myself what I am doing.

I am not related to you.

But when I see you so happy,

I know it's worth it.

I have realised that I am only a woman now.

I promise this is the last time.

Thank you.

Meng Sing Wan!

Aunt Sans' daughter

was pregnant before her marriage.

The Master of the village

said she should be drowned.

It's a punishment.

We should get her as soon as possible.

Damn it, how long should I hide up here?

Sing is missing.

But my baby is growing bigger and bigger.

What should I do?

Tell me.

I'd better not talk to you.

Brother Sing asked me not to talk to dolls.

I have to get rid of this habit

before he comes back.

Brother Sing!

You shouldn't jump. The roof might collapse.

You always tease me.

It's time for revenge.

You're not in a good mood.

I'm not in a good mood either.

I have brought you a bottle of wonderful wine.

Sing said that you like to get drunk.

You have company tonight.

We can forget all the bad stuff if we drink.

Fine.

Tell me the truth, is Sing dead?

If he is alive, why didn't he come back?

Did he talk to you?

I always treated you as my family.

You should believe me.

I will bring him here, no matter what.

Why don't you let me go to the Happy Forest?

Is Sister Ko our family?

You'll understand

that this is a complicated world later.

It's the same story again.

You always use the world of martial arts

to explain difficult things.

I don't understand.

Sing and I don't belong

to the world of martial arts.

Why do we have so many problems?

The world of martial arts has no boundaries.

The living can't escape any problems.

Please stop saying such confusing things.

You mean someone wants to hurt me and Sing?

Sure.

When he finds out you're an obstacle

on his road to success, you'll be in trouble.

Who am I bothering?

You don't even understand. So stop asking.

I won't ask again.

You're not answering my question.

Hey...

What a big pack of herbs.

That's why she is so upset.

Fire...

It's not a fire,

I am boiling the herbal tea for you.

You might look funny

but you won't make me laugh. I am still angry.

Drink it.

Are we friends again?

It's good for the baby.

I don't want to drink it.

It took four hours to make. You should drink it.

I did this for your family.

Are you going against them?

I love it. You can't handle the woman you love.

Why should you bother my family?

What woman?

Sister Ko.

I know you love her.

Don't drink it then!

Careful, the house will collapse.

Oh, I'll drink it!

I knew it was you. What are you doing?

It's two days from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I brought you some treats.

Why didn't you come in through the main gate?

I am a great kung fu master, you know.

Stop pretending I'm still mad at you.

I'm not that mean.

I went to the temple to pray for you.

I am not angry.

I wish you good health before Sing's return.

You mean, Sing is coming back

before the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Maybe.

It's a promise.

Remember to keep your promise.

And to bring Sing back to me.

That's good. I won't be so lonely then.

It will be a family reunion.

But you must be sad not to have anyone.

I'm so serious. I don't know how to please girls.

I've so many faults, I am destined to be a monk.

Don't be so upset, you can improve yourself.

How?

You should learn how to express yourself.

Just tell others what you are thinking.

Most important of all, smile.

Learn how to smile?

Yes, smile now.

You look awful. You'd better not laugh.

You'd scare everyone.

I haven't finished yet.

Your biggest problem is that you are too mean.

Also, keep your promises.

According to Sun's Military Advice, it is wise

to act as quick as lightning in any attack.

We should attack suddenly.

You are gathered here.

What I want to tell you

is that this is a critical moment.

We are going to attack the Happy Forest tonight.

The swordsmen of the Yellow Dragon Horse Troop

will go with us

and attack those bastards.

Suen Kim!

My son...

You bastard!

Sing Wan!

With this armour on how can you hurt me?
