(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 12)

(Strength: Wealth, Fitness, Martial Arts Skills)

Wonderful.

I found you.

What a perfect pair.

I won't budge on my choice.

Over the past decade,

I have been searching.

(Couple Trial) for Taoist-spirit lovers

who can make a perfect pair.

Finally,

my mission is almost done.

How great.

Yanhui.

How annoying!

Yanhui.

They're in such high spirits.

Yanhui.

Yanhui, stop running.

You haven't recovered yet.

I feel so terrible.

Very terrible!

Yanhui.

Stop it.

Are you

flirting with each other?

Shut up!

Calm yourself down.

I can't!

What's wrong with me?

Is it because

of the dark aura you transferred to me?

(It looks like)

(a noxious aura of dark practitioners.)

Don't tell me you're a dark practitioner.

Yes.

I'm a dark practitioner.

You mentioned about backfire.

Did you

turn me into a dark practitioner?

Just an iota of the dark aura isn't enough to transform you.

Remain composed.

It can be solved, all right?

Calm down.

Calm down.

Calm down.

What are you doing?

Bite me?

I want to bite you to death.

Let go!

I'm going to bite you to death!

Yanhui.

It's all right.

Just calm down.

Calm down.

You're out of danger now.

Don't be afraid.

I think I've gone berserk.

Tie me up now.

Tie her up.

What should we do now?

Hey, Flower Medallion.

Why does she act cranky?

(I'm in the middle of the charging process.)

(I can't answer you right now.)

How embarrassing.

Aside...

Aside from feeling grumpy,

what else makes you feel ill?

Before I woke up,

(I sensed that my mind's eye)

(is like boiling water.)

It sounded like

the spiritual powers repel each other.

Did she practice sorceries from two different schools?

(So, my Heart Protecting Scale)

(repels the spiritual power)

(inside her.)

(So, my dark aura)

(repels the spiritual power)

(inside her.)

(So, the aurae from them)

(are mutually repulsive.)

Since we can't figure out a solution,

why don't you

try to juggle with

the two powers?

What is going on?

I can feel tempestuous waves in my mind's eye.

It's stuffy and hot inside.

I can't adjust my inner flow of qi.

I got pushed out when I tried to enter it.

The mind's eye isn't a real ocean.

That's not the way

to adjust the inner qi in you.

You need to calm your mind.

I just can't.

I'm overwhelmed with desires now.

The best way to eradicate desires

is to fulfill them.

Tell us.

What's your wish?

I want freedom

and to become rich.

What?

To obtain freedom is easy,

but you want to become...

rich...

All lucrative properties of the Feng family

have already been blown up.

You saw that.

Besides, Qique Agency was shut down

under duress from the Taoist clan,

not to mention the situation

in Tianxiang Workshop.

I didn't have time to prepare the money

during the escape.

For now,

I'm desperate

and I got nothing left.

Truth be told,

I'm now going to start from scratch.

Living an extravagant life

is my lifelong dream.

Don't be so stingy.

We're friends

on the same side.

Are you going to stand idly and do nothing?

(Silver Parlor)

"The host takes a few days off

to celebrate good news."

(Yamen of Yongzhou's Governor-General, Sealed)

A roughcast house?

Isn't this the Silver Parlor?

Yes.

It was.

Previously, I was rich and successful.

Qique Agency is the leading organization

in the intel industry.

What a big name.

But now, it's all gone

and I'm broke.

My money isn't as abundant as dirt.

Instead, I have to live on dirt.

As the old saying goes,

"shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations".

Finally, I witnessed it with my eyes.

Living on dirt...

Cut that out.

I won't be poor forever.

She's sick now.

Lower your voice.

Yes, I'm sick of her.

Enough.

I will earn more money.

It's not easy to succeed, but it's easy to fail.

Do you think making money is that easy?

Yanhui.

What a petty man.

Wait for me, perfect couple.

Feeling any better?

No.

I can't stop.

What's wrong?

Look at this leaf.

Leaf?

This leaf...

Why did it

fall?

I will bury it.

Let me bury it

in the earth.

Is this the fall of life

or the end of the life cycle?

If you're tired,

let's head back.

No.

I'm not going back.

I will bury it well.

Why did it fall?

Just why?

How pitiful!

I want to bury it.

Together with the late autumn chill,

a withered leaf,

a fickle life,

and my wondrous youth

are buried in the earth.

You're having

a mood swing.

Get up.

It's nippy now.

Let's go back.

Look.

The leaves

are like falling snow.

It's like snowing in big flakes.

Just like that day.

Which day?

(On that day, )

(it was snowing heavily like today.)

Tanghulu!

Ma'am.

This is your baozi.

Take the money.

Thank you.

Don't let it fall.

I want this.

We have baozi!

My sweetheart.

I bought you

your favorite tanghulu.

Yeah, tanghulu!

It's snowing.

Let's cook some rice cake at home.

All right?

Rice cake!

Let's go.

I like rice cake.

(That's the most delicious baozi)

(I have had ever.)

(Sometimes I wonder.)

(I don't eat much.)

(I'm obedient)

(and have great strength.)

(But why don't I have a home?)

I'm so cold.

Are you still cold?

I...

I think I've lost it just now.

Do you feel better now?

Come on.

Let's go home.

Elder Su'e.

I've left Guanghan Sect

and joined Chenxing Mountain for years.

Stop calling me that.

Yes, Elder Lingfei.

Our leader is training in seclusion

and Immortal Yunmeng is guarding the formation.

We received the intel

that the monsters who escaped from Yongzhou City

are circulating some news.

About what?

The words have it

that Leader eliminated

the Princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

They claimed that Guanghan Sect

purposely provoked a dispute between the two realms.

Elder Lingfei.

What should I answer

if other sects confront us?

The one who killed that fox spirit

was that evil dragon, right?

What has it got to do

with Suying?

It was that evil dragon who threw Yongzhou City into disarray

and killed the Princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

Relay this message

to all sects that come.

Yes.

Yanhui

has calmed down much now.

This cranky girl

found someone

who can handle her.

That dragon seems different

from how he was in Yongzhou.

I can feel the warmth from him now.

Yes.

Perhaps

meeting the right one

makes each other

better.

I've become better

after I met you.

What's your plan?

When I was in town today,

I heard someone talk about Yongzhou.

They said.

Tianyao destroyed Yongzhou

and killed Princess Yunxi.

As expected.

Guanghan Sect intends

to make Tianyao take the fall.

I can't do anything about the Taoist clan.

But I won't allow them

to simply incriminate others.

Tomorrow,

I'm leaving for Qingqiu.

Tomorrow?

Why the rush?

I have been

serving Qingqiu over the years.

Now that Wangyu Tower closed down,

I shouldn't stay in the territory

of the Taoist clan for long.

Within the land of the Taoist clan,

there's no place

for me either.

I wonder

if there is a place for me beside you,

Miss Xiange.

No.

But there's a place for you in my heart.

Xiange.

For the rest of our lives,

I will stay with you,

come what may.

All right?

(Fengya Town)

Have a look at the kites.

They are brand-new designs.

I hate to leave you.

Me too.

I haven't thanked you

on behalf of the monsters

in Yongzhou.

It's all right.

Xiange.

You're leaving for Qingqiu alone.

What if you run into danger?

I'm not dead yet, okay?

Xiange isn't leaving alone.

Quit squabbling.

Qingqiu

is where I grew up.

I will be all right.

You must take care of yourself.

If possible,

do visit Qingqiu.

Xiange.

You must protect yourself well.

I'm leaving.

No.

All right, we need to set off.

When you're leaving Fengya Town

after full recovery,

remember to exit via the east side.

The forest of the west

shrouds in mist for years.

Barely no one can leave there.

Be careful.

Sure.

Thank you.

We're off.

All right.

We should leave now.

Take care.

I'm over here.

Be careful.

The sun is scorching.

Let's go.

I'm sleepy.

Hold on.

-Have a look at the baskets. -We sell ornaments.

Yanhui.

-I can't bear... -Not leaving?

to leave Xiange!

I know.

But why do you want to bite me?

Yanhui, what's wrong?

I don't know.

Didn't she recover

last night?

I don't know. I just want to bite.

I want to bite.

Yanhui.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Tianyao.

What did you do to me last night?

Do it one more time.

Come on, Dragon.

Yanhui.

Yanhui.

Not this.

Yanhui.

Do you feel better now?

Not this one!

Yes.

This is it.

My flame?

Flame.

Flame.

I want flames.

I want flames.

Here you go. Gosh, it's so hot.

Here you go.

Come on, breathe fire.

Come on.

Forget it.

All flames in this room

were from him

despite his weak condition.

Don't you forget

that he got injured in Yongzhou.

His throat is dry and he coughs badly.

Do you still insist?

Yes.

You became calm

with a little flame on my palm

yesterday.

But it doesn't work now.

Has your sickness

worsened?

Your flame

is only a temporary solution.

I will dive into your mind's eye.

I think you're exhausted now.

Leave it to me.

Hold on.

I don't need you two.

I can adjust myself.

Leave me alone.

-Go out now. -Let's leave.

I'm leaving first then.

(In the past, people experienced blowback)

(after accepting the inner qi, )

(but none of them lost control emotionally)

(to this extent, like she does.)

Why are you staring at me?

I keep forgetting this.

Why were you holding the dragon horns

after Yanhui retrieved them

in the fight at Yongzhou?

Oh, goodness.

You've started suspecting me

already?

Evil dragon.

Why nervous?

It's just a common question.

Why were the dragon horns

with you?

Yanhui gave them to me.

When?

Right after she retrieved the dragon horns.

When did you see her?

I was with you all the time.

You're lying.

Anyway, I didn't do anything

that cause you harm.

What have you done that harmed her?

No.

Let me ask you this.

Why did you halt me

from entering her mind's eye?

Halt you?

I was helping her.

Fine.

If so, I'm going to check it out

in her mind's eye now.

She's in the middle of meditation now.

Don't you think it's bad

to interrupt her now?

You better not

enter her mind's eye.

You're a dark practitioner?

Oops! You got me.

You're fighting behind my back.

Let me join the fight.

What did you two

try to keep from me?

What has happened?

Forget it.

He saw

my dark aura just now.

All right, I will come clean.

I'm a dark practitioner.

The reason why

she behaves like this

is because her body contains

my dark aura.

And she didn't tell you that

because

she keeps this secret for me.

Your nonsense

isn't helpful at all.

Tianyao, please hear me out.

I understand

that you hate lies

and someone hiding things from you.

But I didn't mean to do that.

I...

I'm just keeping my word.

Drop that.

Do you feel

calmer now?

Is it because

another emotion

is arising within you,

deflecting your anxiety?

Shut up!

Tianyao.

I swear.

The fact that I kept from you

wouldn't do you

any harm.

Are you sure?

Do you think

this is convincing?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't lie to you.

I will seclude myself for reflection.

Enough, man.

Get over it.

Think about this.

Because of your identity,

you've been discriminated against by the Taoist clan.

And yet you're discriminating against me

because I'm a dark practitioner.

Let me ask you this.

Have I ever hurt you?

Just ask yourself

why she needed

my dark aura?

Because of those silly horns of yours.

(Do you really think)

(the spiritual power of those impotent monsters)

(was able to help her)

(break the seal)

(of that wicked woman from Guanghan Sect?)

Both of us

are detested by the Taoist clan

because of our identities.

Therefore,

don't fall out with her

because of me.

Crows don't pick

crow's eyes.

Our priority now

is to get her fixed.

See you.

(Wuqi Hall)

Why are you so bratty?

Why there are

no good qualities in you?

You're good-for-nothing.

You don't deserve to live.

You'd be better off dead.

Are you hungry?

I am.

Next time...

Never mind.

You've suffered a lot

because of me.

If it wasn't for you,

we wouldn't have been sitting here

safe and sound.

You...

You're not bratty

and

you're not good-for-nothing.

Please don't demean yourself.

Are you here to apologize to me

or to comfort me?

Are you done?

Let me enter your mind's eye.

It's imperative

to get you fixed.

(Only dark practitioners who have gone off the deep end)

have the dark aura

you're enduring now.

Yes.

I find it odd too.

I become unstable

after receiving the dark aura from Bai Xiaosheng.

But he doesn't seem

to be bothered by that.

He acts very normally.

I've seen this dark aura

in the Dragon Valley.

Didn't you say that you've never seen it before?

I used to stay in the Dragon Valley for a very long time

and I only saw it once.

(Luochuan Dragon Valley) (Luochuan Dragon Valley assembles)

(the most abundant dragon scent.)

(Such a malicious aura shouldn't appear there.)

(But, on that day, )

(I severed it with my sword)

(and it never emerged since then.)

(I've already forgotten it.)

(But when I saw the form of that dark aura)

(in your mind's eye just now, )

(it reminded me)

(of the dark aura)

(I encountered back then.)

They seem related.

What exactly is that?

I think he's the only one who knows the answer.

I will ask him to settle this for me.

If he's able to settle it,

naturally, he will do it

secretly

before long it happened.

He wouldn't

have exposed his identity to us either.

What's the story behind Bai Xiaosheng?

What turns them into dark practitioners?

What's the dark aura?

Practitioners in Chenxing Mountain

have been studying this for years,

but nothing

is found.

I'm going to ask him.

Yanhui.

This man is crafty

and deceitful.

Take his words with a pinch of salt.

I suppose it's not a fruitful effort

to ask him directly.

But

you are right about one thing.

Currently, he seems

to need our favor

and doesn't harbor an evil intention against us yet.

True, though.

He has been helping us out along the journey.

Without him,

we wouldn't be able

to retrieve the dragon horns.

As for now,

I have another way

to purge the dark aura inside you.

There's a solution?

You should tell me this earlier.

When I encountered the dark aura before,

I slashed it with Flaming Dragon Fang.

Flaming Dragon Fang?

(It's my weapon.)

(It's very helpful to my cultivation)

if I get it back.

Your weapon

is made of a fang?

Show me your fang.

Fine.

Please go on.

I think my dragon fire

can purge the dark aura.

But I can't do that now

because I've exhausted my power.

Concerning our situation,

both the dragon vein and heart

are beyond us.

Hence,

I should return to the Dragon Valley

for Flaming Dragon Fang.

That's the fastest way

to get you fixed.

All right. Let's go.

You can't go.

Why not?

Flaming Dragon Fang

is left on the Snow Peak.

Twenty years ago,

(Suying and I had a duel on Snow Peak.)

(The malicious formation made by Suying)

(still lingers.)

(Snow Peak)

(is besieged by blustery wind)

(and malicious formation of the Guanghan Sect.)

Mortals like you

can't stand against that.

I managed to retrieve dragon bone and horns before.

Such things

are just minor threats.

What's this?

I've connected my dragon horns

with the Heart Protecting Scale.

If anything bad happens,

tap the wrist strap

three times.

I can hear you

even though I'm a hundred li away.

This is amazing.

Tianyao.

Yes.

I can hear sound from this.

This strap is more interesting than Flower Medallion.

Where are you?

Take a guess.

Yanhui.

Yanhui.

Tianyao.

I'm here.

You ought to be careful

tomorrow.

Eat some baozi

when you get peckish.

Do dragons need to eat?

No.

We fill ourselves with nature's essence.

Are you drinking the wind?

You should eat some meat.

-I have more baozi. -What a lovey-dovey scene.

I'm going to drown in their sweet romance.

(Snow Peak, Luochuan Dragon Valley)

(Wuqi Hall)

-Bai Xiaosheng. -Don't come near me.

No!

Hold still, Bai Xiaosheng!

Stop!

Back!

Look at this.

Take a good look

at these bites.

Can you stop biting me?

Who else can I bite then?

Tianyao just left for one day.

And you're so desperate now.

When is he coming back?

You know what?

I've had enough of this already.

Three days later.

He's coming back three days later.

I miss him very much.

Also, I can't bear this anymore.

What should I do?

Did you even try to control yourself?

Perhaps I should show you how desperate I am.

No, thanks.

I'm more curious

about how you look

when you're calm.

Calm down.

What are you doing?

Yanhui.

Tianyao.

She's missing you.

Bai Xiaosheng.

He's doing something important.

Tianyao.

Ignore him.

Everything is fine.

Don't let us keep you.

Tianyao.

My arm is becoming a trotter soon

because of her.

(It seems that the dark aura inside Yanhui...)

I've had enough of her.

(is on the brink of bursting.)

Tianyao, don't mind him.

Just focus on your task.

I'm good. Don't worry.

See you.

Switch it off now.

No way.

Tianyao.

She becomes stable

when she talks to you.

Please don't hang up.

Never.

I...

Yanhui.

Eldest Senior!

Eldest Senior?

(Someone from Chenxing Mountain?)

-Eldest Senior. -Yanhui.

-What brings you here? -I...

Behave well.

(Why did he come?)

What brings me here?

Certainly, it's you.

Otherwise, you're going to turn the world upside down.

I'm not capable of that though.

How did you find me?

I can simply read the fortune

to locate you.

After I returned to the sect from a mission,

I heard

that you had been disrespectful to the leader

and were driven out.

I wanted to plead with Master

for your sake

upon his return.

Little did I know,

you'd already be mingling

with this evil dragon

as soon as you came down.

Well...

You're not thinking straight.

Hey.

Practitioners of Chenxing Mountain

all seem to have a bad temper.

Shut your mouth.

This evil dragon is cunning.

(Seems like this man from Chenxing Mountain won't do Yanhui any harm.)

(I shall keep going then.)

You keep pestering Yanhui.

What are you after?

I'm not that evil dragon.

Not you?

Where's that dragon?

The dragon

is gone.

Gone?

Then,

why are you here with him?

I've never stopped you

from befriending monsters.

However, that evil dragon blew up Yongzhou City

and has tarnished

your reputation.

Eldest Senior.

I was the one who blew up the city.

You're not capable of that.

It must be that evil dragon.

I can tell

you must've tried to talk him out of it

and stop him.

But he didn't listen to you.

That evil dragon is ferocious

and he insisted

on tearing the city apart.

Eldest Senior...

Enough, don't defend him.

Since he isn't that evil dragon,

is he the spy left by the dragon to keep an eye on you?

No, he's not.

Just be honest with me.

I'm here with you,

so don't worry.

Although I can't fight that evil dragon,

finishing him is a piece of cake.

Eldest Senior.

Why did you come here?

To bring you back.

I'm not going back.

Why not?

Why should I go back?

I came to you under Master's order.

Master has expelled me.

I should be responsible for you.

-I... -You must go back with me.

I have something to accomplish.

I can't do anything if I go back...

Why did you hit him?

He said he wanted to fetch you back.

I won't let that happen.

But why did you knock him out?

You alone are annoying enough,

and now hearing him blabbering,

it will drive me crazy.

Listen up.

I won't let you off

if something were to happen to him!

Yanhui.

Don't go back.

I know.

I don't even want to go back.

Wait for me.
