Siu Lung agrees to go admire the flowers with Jiu Nga. Ting Fong warns him to be careful or else he might become a ghost from the flowers (2). Notes for Episode 7 1. What Siu Lung is try to say here is that Sin Yau is being blinded by wealth that she's willing to do evil deeds. It's another one of those 'flowery sayings'. 2. Obviously Ting Fong isn't talking literally that Siu Lung will be killed by flowers. She means that he should be careful of Jiu Nga or else she might kill him. Beautiful women are frequently compared with flowers in Chinese series. |
