=Be My Cat=
The contract is terminated.
So, you…
You really want to leave me behind?
What do you think?
The very purpose for all that I've done
is to end the contract with you.
That's not possible.
I'm not buying it.
Do you really think that a noble Prince of Jade Cat Planet like me
would actually fall in love with you?
But you did say…
You did say you'd do anything for me
even at the expense of Jade Cat Planet.
You also said
that you saw a promising future for us.
Don't you remember that?
I'm sorry…
I was lying to you.
Then get your dirty noble ass back to your noble Jade Cat Planet!
Don't you ever come back!
I don't want to see you anymore!!
=Episode 14=
Why the heck did you push me over?
I've already had a new maid.
It's for your own benefit.
Mo Xiu Ran…
Be ingratitude all you want,
Mint, i.e. me, never abandon ship.
Today I will definitely
set foot in Mo Mansion!
No need.
Wait!
That girl there…
I'll take her.
You're everywhere, aren't you?
Our duties here in west court
don't deserve your kind consideration, Big Brother.
Little Mint?
Didn't I just say
I'd definitely set foot
in Mo Mansion today?
Have Qing Yun deliver your belongings
to where you're living in.
Allow me.
Qing Yun?
Send him away.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Life is jokingly unpredictable…
I fumbled into east court when I wanted to go to west court,
now I'm literally in the west court instead of east court.
I guess the universe is managed to work in mysterious ways, huh.
Ingot!
No time no see.
Do you still recognize me?
It's not really Ingot.
It's called Jin Bao,
the twin sister Ingot gave birth to.
Greetings, Second Young Master!
Little Mint, you are back.
It's supposedly you who noticed it
when Ingot was pregnant back then.
So…
Where is Jin Bao's twin brother?
Zhao Cai, the brother, was given to Young Master from Madam.
Mo Xiu Ran would raise a dog?
He changed his true colors?
See you!
This is the room you used to live in.
I assume…
You'd be just comfortable in here.
So…
I ordered them to have it cleaned.
I'm much obliged to you, Second Young Master.
I'm extremely appreciated.
Oh…
I brought you some Qingshan Tea.
I've long heard it from Zi Mo before
that the tea from Qingshan Lake is fragrantly delicious.
Surprisingly,
I could be this downright lucky.
If you brew it with morning dew from the hill back in Mo Mansion,
you'll be luckier!
Morning dew?
It has everything to do with the smelly…
I'd better brew you some tea now, Second Young Master.
No rush.
Originally,
I planned to get back to the capital to report to my father,
then visiting you guys at Qingshan Lake.
So…
I'm surprised that you are here.
Little Mint,
is there anything urgent for you to come all the way back?
Actually…
I'm here to take some of my own stuff.
Your own stuff?
Mo Xiu Ran,
you smelly cat!
No matter what happens this time,
I'll never leave you again…
Qing Zi You is still alive.
Little Mint is back in Mo Mansion again.
tsk tsk…
If you have a heart of gold,
you'll be blessed by the universe.
Now worse luck,
you've got two golden hearts.
That'll keep you occupied.
I'm curious by the way,
which of the two masters
is more preferable for you?
You know…
If you've spare energy for something,
you'd better take it out on the fish.
I have to say…
Little Mint gets my vote.
Because…
she called me "sister" so sweetly.
All right, sis.
Get down to business.
I followed the method
as exactly what you told me last time.
But there was no sign of Shu Hu.
Qing Zi You had been missing for years
and just reappeared at a crucial time like this.
Was it really coincidental?
You mean…
Shu Hu disguised as Qing Zi You?
I didn't say that.
But just to play it safe,
I think it's better for you
to verify her identity.
I'm sure that Mo Xiu Ran
ended the contract with me
just to obtain the Yellow Soul Bead.
He literally hid a beauty here as well.
He wants to piss me off just like that?
He wishes!
Zi You?
What a lovely dog!
Come to me, doggy.
Ouch!
Nicely done, Zhao Cai!
It was worth it that I saved your life
from your mom's womb.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I was just trying to tease it.
Better take a break
from your exhausting practice.
I can't.
The grand celebration is coming soon.
I don't want people to think of me as a parasite in Mo Mansion,
and certainly don't want them to think less of you because of me.
The grand celebration is nothing compared with you.
She was just terrified of a puppy
only months' old?
She's more affected than Mo Xiu Ran!
Come.
Let's get you some ointment.
Okay.
You'll be okay in days.
Seven days from now,
the Young General
will be bestowed as Lord Jin Yang at the grand celebration here!
Watch it!
Keep it up, people!
We keep disciplined
just for a moment like this!
Let's find out the real ace
at the grand celebration!
Sir!
Hey!
That thing…
Little Feng Feng!
Little Wan Wan?
Why are you here?
I miss you that's why…
He's taking her to the Cat House!
He told me it was a secret base…
A base for secret women it seems!
Tsk!
Remember how we used to hunt for magic herbs when we were kids?
You were always so mischievous
while I was gathering them.
You stuck around on purpose,
and tickled me with those fluffy tails
to distract me.
You applied herbs for me back then,
now it's my turn to take care of you.
The "childhood sweetheart" cliché again,
a story never ends!
Has she ever fed you Nepeta cataria?
Has she ever bathed you?
Did she save your life from Doctor Wu
in the nick of time?
Though time flies as it always does,
these memories just keep rushing back.
Young General.
Originally I didn't believe the notion
the deepest concern for someone corresponds with response
until I encountered you that day.
Their eyes are sparkling…
I'm so mad!
They're sparkling again!
Have you had enough look?
I was going to ask you the same thing!
Two singles sharing old love stories in broad daylight!
Since you eavesdropped our conversation,
would you quit interrupting my life?
Tsk.
Since you and your dear Zi You
were so knee-deep in your conversation,
why did you rush out to save my ass?
I'm a man with a sense of justice.
I will definitely do the same thing
even to save a female cat's ass.
YOU are the cat!
You are from a cat's family!
That's right. I AM from a cat's family.
Fine.
Well, Little Mint
never acts clingy and unreasonable.
Give me the Soul Bead,
I'll vanish in a sec.
I'll need the Soul Bead for other purposes.
And also…
You need to stop showing yourself
and getting in the way.
Okay?
You…
dream!
Tsk.
Little Feng Feng,
did you smell something?
Nope.
Don't you think…
the air around us is just sweet?
The air…
can never be sweeter than my dear little Wan Wan.
I'm being sweet for a sweet reason.
And the reason…
is because my heart is filled with you.
Little Feng Feng,
before I came here, I specifically told my father
that I'm here to attend the Young General's grand celebration.
As long as you pull it together well for the coming celebration,
you won't have to worry about your big promotion!
By then,
I'll just bring up our marriage to my father again.
He'll definitely grant it.
Just count on your little Feng Feng!
But…
But what?
The Young General…
is at the bottom of his emotional state.
As his most loyal subordinate,
I can't repay his virtue with malice.
The reflection of kindness
is like not burping out your feast
in front of people starving.
My little Wan Wan…
Shall I find us an inn
for our underground relationship?
I've travelled across galaxies, went to hell and back
and managed to come here,
for the VERY reason to avoid my parents' control
and to have a relationship with him
in a lawless, unbridled way.
Now he's encouraging me
for some "underground relationship"!
Little Mint,
what exactly happened
between you and Young General?
Can you make up with him ASAP?
Well…
It's a long story…
Don't worry.
The Princess has a world of time!
I also brought
the best melon seeds of Sunset City.
Here, have at them!
Well, our story
unavoidably begins with a woman!
Wow…
What a tortuously complicated story!
Surprisingly,
it's quite an intricately moving story
between Young General and Zi You.
It's even more interesting than a play!
You've got some company, girl.
Whose side are you on?
What do you think?
For the sheer happiness
between my little Feng Feng and me,
I'm certainly on your side.
Although…
your opponent is prettier
and more talented than you are,
plus…
being the childhood sweetheart really gives her a head start.
However,
don't lose heart.
Okay?
Princess?
Yes?
I'm now suspecting if Qing Zi You send you here.
Hear me out!
Back then,
when we were rivals for each other,
I took all the advantages,
thinking I was bound to be the winner.
But eventually,
Young General still chose you over me.
So?
So…
To sum it up,
Young General,
a heroic figure who's been around,
has long bored with delicacies
like Qing Zi You,
and craves for a homely dish like you.
That sounds weird.
Did you just show me your self-portrait?
Otherwise, I can't really figure out
the reason that you're so into Luo Feng.
Can't you capture the subtext
of what I'm saying here?
You've been with Young General
for a while now, right?
You must have known him inside and out.
In order to recapture Young General
from Qing Zi You,
you'll need to contemplate your navel
of what to cater for.
Little Mint,
you're a fine example
of self-taught craftsmanship!
Little Mint,
with your top-notch skill,
I don't think it's possible
for Young General to get out of your hand!
You bet.
Sister Muppet,
when will Mo Xiu Ran be here?
About a quarter of an hour, I think.
Later on,
when he's here,
serve the grilled fish first.
Don't tell him that I made it first.
Wait until he's conquered by my cooking…
It's fantastic!
World-class delicacy!
Who's the master chef?
Then make my shining entrance!
By then…
He'll be my very sitting cat!
How embarrassing!
Sister Muppet?
Here he comes!
This way.
I'm counting on you, Sister Muppet.
Sure thing.
Consider it done.
Young General,
do you always dine out here?
The owner of this place
is one of my good friends.
Why is she EVERYWHERE?
Enjoy.
Don't expose yourself to the enemy.
Don't you ever be disturbed by her enticing scheme.
Fine!
You have burden of things to attend to,
yet you've been strolling with me.
You also bought rouge at Cuining House.
I am…
I'm far beyond flattered.
You've been preparing for the grand celebration for so long,
consider it as a sliver gesture of mine.
No wonder that face
is even redder than the ass of a monkey!
I'll work doubly hard for the grand celebration for sure.
What a delicately charming rose.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Have a taste.
This "lemon grilled fish" is their specialty.
What's wrong, Zi You?
Is it not to your taste?
I just think it's a bit unhealthy.
This dish…
is too oily and salty.
It's not so good for the skin.
But if you have a fishy taste,
I'd like to make you a fresher dish.
That's too excessive!
What do you say?
Great.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Put the knife down!
I'm just doing my job.
You just failed my effort and kindness,
am I not allowed to take it back?
Landlady,
do you happen to have any light dish?
I'm totally vegetarian on lunar 8th.
Pardon me if I'm asking too much.
Let's go.
Zi You,
I'm taking you to the best vegetarian restaurant.
That'd be nice.
Young General, thanks so much.
Mo Xiu Ran!
Isn't lemon grilled fish your favorite?
It's just not my favorite now.
Also…
When on earth will you stop pestering?
I've told you
that I want you to…
give me the Soul Bead.
You've already found your brother,
why do you still want it?
Coincidentally,
it's exactly my brother who wants to have these Soul Bead.
Su Zi Mo wants to have Soul Bead?
Is it because he is…
Where's your brother?
Why do you care?
Just give me the Soul Bead.
No way.
I won't give it to anybody.
Zi You,
let's go.
Landlady,
I apologize for his short temper.
Please forgive us.
I've told you that he is capricious,
as well as moody.
You didn't believe me.
How do you feel now?
Generally, the people around you
are not even as good as a fresh meal.
Meal, meal, meal!
You and your meal!
The enemy is literally under your nose,
you're just going to strike back on bended knee?
A vegetarian figure of hers
will just snap like a twig!
She's got nothing to compete with me.
My deary girl!
Would you go find a mirror,
take a look at your robust
and bloated…
I meant a "curvy" figure…
How are you going to fight with her?
I…
A soldier needs enough nutrition to be able to fight well!
Wouldn't you expect me to be like her?
Affected?
Exaggerated?
When it comes to dealing with girls like Qing Zi You,
I'm your pro.
Stop eating!
Most importantly,
never follow HER rhythm.
You need to take the initiative
and tackle her by surprise!
The initiative?
The Yellow Soul Bead is on sale at Junbao House!
Priceless jade!
Worldly jade!
Dear guest!
Don't miss out the golden opportunity!
Come check it out!
Check it out!
Don't miss out the golden opportunity!
Count my blessings!
All right!
I'm going to do it in person this time!
A complete upgrading job on you!
Are you sure about this?
You know what they say,
"fair complexion offsets all ugliness".
Applying a facial mask
helps whitening your skin,
ergo, new appearance and spirits.
Sister Muppet,
shall I give it a shot, too?
I thought you're here to help ME?
Being a princess, I'd rather make a shining entrance
at the auction with you!
By then, Luo Feng and Young General
will both be shocked!
Kill two birds with one stone!
I've stretched to the limit…
It's all because you ate too much today!
Just inhale!
Rise up!
Square shoulders!
Shrink your abdomen!
Stick up your ass!
Good.
You're not holding me up.
Let's make a top-notch team tomorrow
and knock them out!
Don't slack!
Now take a few steps.
I hope…
your bright, lovely smile will linger on forever.
Though I know for sure…
that I may not be the lucky guy to bring out that smile,
I will sacrifice everything
to prevent it from being wiped off.
Second Young Master?
I just got the latest news of Yellow Soul Bead.
It turns out that Junbao House is auctioning Yellow Soul Bead out.
You've got oceans of consideration for Little Mint, Second Young Master.
In order to track down Yellow Soul Bead,
you literally searched every antique store and pawnshop
in the capital.
I'm so glad it paid off,
and we've got the clue of it.
What?
Too much work for you?
Certainly not for me!
I'd hate it if it's too much for you, Second Young Master.
You busted a gut to find her brother, and now the Yellow Soul Bead.
Is it really worthy on your part?
All I can do for now…
is trying to give her what she wants.
As long as I can help her a sliver,
even if it produces no result,
I'll be more than satisfied.
Young General,
we're in with a chance.
Do you want me to prepare for anything?
Take Zhao Cai
at the auction will be enough.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I take it you're expecting that Shu Hu is going for it
if Yellow Soul Bead appears?
Sir.
Is there anyone suspicious
you want me to keep an eye on?
Su Zi Mo.
Pardon?
Finally, the Yellow Soul Bead is going to make its appearance!
Just make you bid out there, Young General,
money is not the issue!
Little Mint?
Second Young Master?
Here you are!
You look quite different today.
Exquisitely beautiful.
Thank you.
We DO seem to keep running into you, Second Young Master.
Can't a guy follow the path
of his Big Brother's?
It's said that the Yellow Soul Bead is being put for an auction.
Young General is kindly to have agreed to take me here
for this eye-opener.
Putting on airs to be affected again!
Sure.
The Yellow Soul Bead…
is jade in our pocket today.
Hey!
Everybody's here!
Sister Muppet…
Little Mint?
The Yellow Soul Bead
is the grand finale today.
Right.
I'd say…
the rubbish is up for grabs,
we're here for the treasure behind!
Young General.
Time for us to go in.
A trick THIS cheap, really?
I sure hope Little Mint will just face up to the difficulties
and leave Mo Mansion ASAP.
Let's go.
Ok.
Let's go in, too.
What's wrong?
My brother said he's coming, too,
yet I still can't find him.
Shall we wait him inside?
Ok.
I'd like to thank you all for being here at Junbao House today
for our 156th…
Everything ready?
I'll send someone
to take Zhao Cai and guard the door.
When the guy arrives,
I'll release Zhao Cai and give it test.
Go check it again now,
just in case.
Sir.
"Upborne by her attendants, she rose too faint to move." [*cited from a poem: THE EVERLASTING REGRET]
The step shake is valuable as the poem.
Especially…
for the gentlemen here today.
I dare say…
it's the best betrothal present!
Starting price…
50 silver dollars!
100 dollars!
100 for this gentleman!
Young General?
Do you think the step shake
looks like the one you mother gave me?
100 for the first time!
100…
Bidding for 200!
200 the first time!
200 the second time!
200 the third time!
Deal!
Young General, congratulations!
Little Mint…
this is not a time to be angry.
Now…
the happier you seem,
the more flustered guys will be.
Now,
pout your lips
and smile.
Young General,
could you put it on for me?
Okay.
How gorgeous, young lady!
Now, here's our next bid…
The Yellow Soul Bead!
This Yellow Soul Bead
is the extraterrestrial meteorite that has absorbed the very essence
from the heaven and the earth, from the sun and the moon!
Starting price…
500!
500?
Literally a sky-high price!
Universe-class treasure!
We've nothing to do with it anyway.
Unaffordable!
I'm bidding for 1,000!
1,000 the first time!
1,200!
1,500!
1,600!
1,700!
Don't worry. Count on me.
Anyone else?
I'm putting 2,000!
2,000 the first time!
3,000!
Lord Jin Yang is putting 3,000!
Any possibly higher bid?
Hard to imagine a possible bid, is it?
3,000 the first time!
4,000!
4,000 the first time!
-Go! -4,000 the second time!
4,000 the third time!
Deal!
Second Young Master of Mo Mansion, congratulations!
The bead is yours!
Congrats!
What a pity…
Zi Mo? It's been quite a while.
May I consult your intent,
Young General?
I've been pondering
about the reasons of your disappearance
being this connected with the Soul Bead.
Then it occurred to me
that even though what you said
was almost seamless,
there's something you left out,
which is the persistence for Soul Beads.
Now if I may,
why did you send Little Mint to me
for the Soul Bead?
I've told you…
It has everything to do with my interest of precious stones.
Is that so?
Pardon me, Young General.
Little Mint and I
have been with animals of kinds since childhood.
It's just normal that this dog
is this close to me.
I've another question for you.
Have you ever heard of the name Shu Hu?
I have not.
I've been meaning to give you a present,
except that I haven't chosen one yet.
Today I was lucky to have bid for this Yellow Soul Bead.
A special present…
is meant to be given to a special lady.
A special…lady?
Little Mint…
To me,
you are the most special lady in the whole world.
I've never…
competed for anything with my Big Brother since I was a kid.
I'd like to give it shot this time
just for you.
Second Young Master…
You are beyond graceful,
and beyond gentle.
I've always thought
only an extremely brilliant lady
will be able to match with a perfect man like you…
I'm not perfect.
If I am perfect…
It's all because of you.
I've been in love with you
ever since I met you the first time.
But…
I haven't been brave enough
to express my love to you.
Little Mint,
what I need to do the most
and what I long should've done
is to tell you in person
that I love you.
Second Young Master…
I'm deeply moved by your loving gesture.
But I'm afraid I can't accept it.
That's because…
expect for Mo Xiu Ran,
there's no extra room in my heart.
Even though…
he is a weird character
with tons of flaws,
I just can't ignore him.
I'd already prepared for an answer like this,
but in my heart
there's still a sliver of hope.
I wish we could forever stay in the time zone
when we're admiring the festive lantern.
I also wish I could know you before my brother,
and wish only a part of your heart
that belongs just to me.
Now you turned off
the last light in my heart.
I'm relieved somehow.
Of course,
I don't regret
bidding for this Yellow Soul Bead.
Little Mint,
the Yellow Soul Bead
belongs to you.
Please take it as a gift from a friend.
No need, Second Young Master!
Because the Yellow Soul Bead…
is counterfeit!
