(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 14)

(Wuqi Hall)

In that case,

both of you were behind

the incident in Yongzhou.

Yes.

In the beginning,

I indeed wanted

to help Tianyao retrieve his dragon horns.

But after that,

I did it to rescue the lives

of the trapped monsters in Yongzhou.

The truth is, the dragon

is not as fierce and brutal

as rumored.

And not everyone

in the Taoist clan is righteous.

I had no idea the Guanghan Sect

would do such a thing in Yongzhou.

Yanhui,

is the dark aura

still inside of you?

When Tianyao used his sword

to dispel the black aura in the Misty Forest,

the black aura in my mind's eye

had been destroyed as well.

I'm glad to hear that.

I didn't expect him

to have the capability to destroy the black aura.

Senior,

what exactly is this black aura?

This dark aura

is the evilest energy in the world.

It can make people lose their minds.

The phantom spirit in the Misty Forest

was corrupted

by the dark aura.

Phantom spirit?

Have you also encountered a phantom spirit?

Yes.

After I was dragged away

by the thorny tree that day...

(Phantom King)

Are you from the Taoist clan?

Yes.

I'm looking for someone who has a dark aura in their body.

It's not you.

You don't have it.

Let's play hide and seek!

Time to play hide and seek!

(That phantom spirit)

(mistaken me for someone else and pulled me into the forest.)

Let's play hide and seek!

(Could it be that the thorny tree at that time)

(actually wanted to take Bai Xiaosheng away?)

(Because Senior)

(had Bai Xiaosheng's spell on him.)

(Thus, he mistakenly dragged Senior away?)

Master sent me

to investigate the whereabouts of Taoist clan cultivators

who have gone off the deep end.

But among the cultivators I found,

most of them didn't go off the deep end

because of cultivation,

but because of the dark aura in their bodies.

So I suspect

someone wants to use the dark aura

to control cultivators of the Taoist clan.

(Bai Xiaosheng.)

(Hui, )

(I'm here to kill you.)

Speaking of which,

where did the other person go?

I saw him controlling the dark aura.

Is he a dark practitioner?

Wait for my return.

You guessed it correctly.

But he never harmed me.

Instead, he has always helped us.

I don't know

where he went.

He probably fled

after his identity was exposed.

This matter is of great importance.

I need to return to Chenxing Mountain

and report this to Master immediately.

I'm still worried

about leaving you alone out here.

Why don't you come back with me?

I'm not alone.

I promised Tianyao that I would help him.

I can't break my promise.

All right, then.

I'll report your situation

to Master as well.

Senior,

thank you for coming to see me.

You'll always

be my junior.

You got lost.

How could I not come to find you?

I've already grown up.

How could I still get lost?

Take good care of yourself.

See you around!

-How's your injury? -How are you feeling?

I feel great.

I've never felt better.

How about your injury?

Does it still hurt?

It's nothing.

Have some congee first,

and then take the medicine.

Feng Qianshuo warned us

that the forest in the west is very dangerous.

Why did you go there?

Bai Xiaosheng dislikes my senior.

So he wanted to leave him

in the forest.

Then my senior was dragged

into the forest.

Then Bai Xiaosheng

was dragged into it too.

So I went in to save them.

In the end, you saw what happened.

Where's Bai Xiaosheng?

He fled.

What about your senior?

He went back to Chenxing Mountain.

What about my sword?

Would you believe me

if I said it flew away on its own?

Do you know

who was behind the illusions in the forest?

We'll have to ask her.

Where is she?

Come out.

Who do you mean?

A phantom spirit

is living inside this ring.

Why is she quiet now?

Huan Xiaoyan,

you chatterbox.

She's probably scared out of her wits.

We'll have to wait for her to wake up to ask her.

We've wasted too much time here.

It's time to leave.

Where are we going?

Dragon Valley.

Dragon Valley?

Isn't that your hometown?

Are you taking me back to your hometown?

My sword that flew away

probably went back there.

Your sword can fly back home by itself?

This time,

I forced it to come with me.

Since we have retrieved the dragon horns,

the Taoist clan will undoubtedly increase more guards

for the two remaining barriers.

I need to go back

and tame the Flaming Dragon Fang

to increase my strength.

(Dragon's fang?)

You still need to tame your fang?

Let's eat.

Let me see it.

Which fang is it?

Has it grown back?

Just eat your food.

Stop looking. It has already grown back.

-Greetings, Senior. -Welcome back, Senior.

Eldest Senior, you're back.

Where's Yanhui?

She must know she'll be severely punished

for doing evil with the evil dragon.

That's why she dares not come back, right?

Don't spout nonsense.

Where's Master?

I have important things

to report to him.

Master hasn't returned yet,

but something strange happened.

Senior,

the Starhaven

was suddenly covered in mist last night,

making it difficult to see the surroundings.

An elder sent a snow owl up

to inquire about the situation.

But we received no response.

We don't know

what's going on up there now.

So we can only wait and see.

What was that just now?

The spirit energy of Dragon Valley.

Spirit energy can fly and even laugh?

It's my first time seeing it.

The spirit energy of Dragon Valley is abundant.

It can even condense into elves back then.

Elves?

The elves lived here with me

for thousands of years.

His Majesty looks so handsome today.

Of course, when is His Majesty not handsome?

What I meant

was he looks even more handsome

and majestic than yesterday.

(Dragon Valley was even more beautiful back then.)

(It's just a pity)

(that later on...)

Forget it,

let's not dwell on the past.

Is the entrance to Dragon Valley up ahead?

We're here.

Heartless Valley?

Did you rename Dragon Valley?

(There was no such sign before.)

(Has someone else)

(entered Dragon Valley?)

I seem

to have seen this tree before.

You've seen it?

(When I was still a child, before I joined Chenxing Mountain, )

(I had a special affinity with monsters.)

(I always ran into)

(all kinds of monsters.)

(Some saved me, )

(while others wanted to eat me.)

(I remember one time)

(I was chased)

(by a very powerful bad monster.)

(It seemed I ran to this place.)

Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

(It was Lingxiao)

(who saved me that day.)

Zichen, watch her.

Speaking of which,

I actually

burned down this tree that day.

When I think back,

I feel really sorry about it now.

You burned down this tree?

My eldest senior was there that day too.

That monster

wouldn't give up

(and still wanted to kill us.)

(I was so anxious at the time)

(that I didn't know how)

(I ended up setting a fire)

(before my master could do anything.)

(From now on, )

(Chenxing Mountain will be your home, )

and I will be your master.

(Ten years have passed, )

and I only remember.

Lingxiao bringing me back to Chenxing Mountain.

Then,

I don't remember anything else

about the monsters.

If it weren't for today...

Come to think of it,

the reason I was able to set that fire back then

was that I have

your Heart Protecting Scale in my body.

Yanhui,

I should thank you.

For what?

Twenty years ago,

Suying sealed me

with the Five Elements Formation.

Water to trap the bones.

Earth to subdue the horns.

Fire to burn the veins.

Metal to wrap around the heart.

Wood to bind the soul.

Yanhui,

it was you who released me

from this Soul Binding Wood.

Are you saying

this is the Soul Binding Wood that Suying used

to seal your dragon soul?

(It turns out)

(we are destined)

(to meet each other)

(from a long time ago.)

(If no one mentioned it, )

(who would have known)

(that Tianyao's dragon soul)

(was sealed inside?)

(Who would have known)

(that we actually)

(go way back?)

It really is fate.

Your Heart Protecting Scale

saved my life.

And I,

in turn,

released your soul here.

If my dragon soul

didn't escape from here

ten years ago,

I wouldn't have been able

to find the dragon bone energy,

live in disguise as Doofus Fu

in Tongluo Village,

and

survive until now

to find dragon bones

and dragon horns.

Yanhui,

it turns out

you're the fortunate starting point,

beginning,

and turning point that I could not have found.

It's truly a blessing in disguise.

How can I

not thank you?

The debts and grudges between us

is a mess now

and cannot be distinguished anymore.

But I'm a generous person.

When you become successful in the future,

you must pay back the money

you owe me.

Yanhui,

if I can

have peace in my life,

all my wealth

will be yours.

The only woman

who can possess all your wealth

is your wife.

I...

I'll only take what I deserve.

Let's go.

Reporting to the Valley Master.

We have uninvited visitors outside!

Prepare for battle!

(Rui, Elf of the Dragon Valley)

Stop right there!

Who are you?

Who are you?

(Peng, Elf of the Dragon Valley)

(Yun, Elf of the Dragon Valley)

I'm the Valley Master of this valley.

Small fries like you

can't enter my valley without permission!

Leave now!

Especially you,

you hateful.

Taoist clan woman.

You're the hateful one.

He said he's the Valley Master.

Who are you?

When did you arrive in the Dragon Valley?

Rui,

they know

this is Luochuan Dragon Valley.

You really are up to no good.

I've sworn to defend

the pure Luochuan Dragon Valley

from evil people entering.

I'll fight you.

I...

Let go.

-Enough! -Ouch, that hurts.

Oh, no. She's going to kill me.

Everyone! Run for your lives!

Please don't kill my Valley Master.

Please don't kill them.

I wasn't going to kill him.

He was the one attacking me.

Then let us go.

I know

you're here for the divine sword.

The divine sword is at...

Peng!

We must not tell them

that the Flaming Dragon Fang of the Dragon King

is on Snow Peak.

We're the sword guardians.

We swore to guard the sword for the Dragon King.

Where did you find these sword guardians?

They don't look too bright.

Who told you to guard the sword?

Why would you guard the sword?

We, the Luochuan Dragon Valley elves,

have lived here for generations.

Our parents' last wish

before they passed away

twenty years ago

was for us to guard the sword for the Dragon King

and wait for the Dragon King to return.

Your parents...

So,

you're the surviving elves

from that disaster.

You were waiting

for the Dragon King to come back, right?

He's the Dragon King.

You don't need to guard the sword anymore.

Do you know

what the Dragon King looks like?

I don't know.

I vaguely remember

my mother saying

he's very tall, handsome, and majestic.

Does he look like it?

He doesn't look like it.

Indeed, he doesn't seem to look like it.

He doesn't even have horns.

Horns?

Show them your horns.

Hurry up.

This still doesn't prove anything.

We've seen deer spirits before.

Deer spirits also have horns.

Yes, deer spirits also have horns.

A water buffalo has horns too.

Yanhui,

let them be.

Once I retrieve the sword,

they'll know the truth.

That's right.

He came back to retrieve the sword before.

Have you seen him?

Impossible.

I've been guarding the sword this month.

I assure you

that no one has come near Snow Peak.

I stay up every night

with my eyes wide open.

(I guard the sword every day)

(from dusk until dawn.)

(No one has ever come to retrieve it.)

Besides,

the sword is still on Snow Peak.

This mountain seems to have become shorter.

As expected of me,

I grew taller overnight.

In any case, I can't let you in.

Stop!

Wait.

We can't beat them.

We should save our strength

and think of another way.

Let's go.

Hurry up and go after them.

-Yes, sir. -All right.

Dragon Valley

is so beautiful.

It was even more beautiful back then.

But can this paper house

withstand the wind?

We never said you can stay.

Why are you picking?

I want to stay.

I'll pick if I want to.

I'm going to pick a big place.

I'm not listening!

We'll be sharing

a room.

It won't take up much space.

After we pull out the sword, we'll leave.

How about

this one?

You even have your eyes

on our Valley Master's house.

In your dreams!

It's not like we're staying for free.

This is

for letting us stay.

Isn't this...

This ring

looks pretty nice.

Valley Master,

why don't we let them stay?

Valley Master,

you're bought off

too easily.

I thought

about it earlier.

Some people tried

to pull out.

Dragon King's Flaming Dragon Fang before.

But did anyone succeed? No, right?

They'll fail anyway.

It's better

to let them give up on their own...

That's true.

than to fight them and end up losing on both sides.

Yes, you're right.

Only the Dragon King

can pull out the Flaming Dragon Fang anyway.

These elves

may look silly.

But they made

their living space quite cozy.

Tianyao, you'll sleep on the bed tonight

and I'll lay out the bedding and sleep on the floor next to you.

You should rest well.

Why are you being nice?

Did you forget

what day it is today?

What day?

It's the full moon.

It seems like

you remember even better than me.

You got injured when you pulled out the sword last time.

Since we're back in Dragon Valley,

there's something.

I must do tonight.

I'll accompany you.

On the night of the full moon,

we pay tribute to our loved ones.

May our family rest peacefully

in heaven

and keep watch over Dragon Valley

until the return of the Dragon King.

Until the return of the Dragon King!

(Your Majesty, )

(we've prepared)

(a gift for you.)

Your Majesty protects the Dragon Valley

and watches over us.

I hope this sword

can protect you

in critical times.

Your Majesty, the sword is ready.

I hope that you'll work harder

(in your cultivation in the future.)

I hope Your Majesty will be

the strongest dragon in the world.

You fool!

His Majesty is the only dragon in the world.

Of course, he's the strongest.

On the night of the full moon...

Let's hurry.

Fly faster.

(We can't miss His Majesty's wedding!)

They died because of me.

Stop hurting our master!

-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!

Stop it now!

-Your Majesty! -Stop hurting him!

Stop hurting our master!

Stop it!

Don't hurt him!

Stop!

Your Majesty!

-(Your Majesty!) -(Your Majesty!)

This blood debt...

Your Majesty!

must be repaid with blood.

Tianyao...

Tianyao.

Tianyao.

You said being close

to the Heart Protecting Scale

would make it less painful.

This is...

I deserve this.

I'll stay with you.

Get out.

Stay away from me.

I don't want you to see me

in such an ugly state.

Tianyao,

the truly ugly one

is never you,

but the person who broke your heart.

Tianyao. Tianyao.

It pains me

to see you like this.

Tianyao,

it's okay.

There, there. You're fine.

Tianyao...

(This wedding)

is

your funeral.

(What...)

(What's wrong with me?)

Tianyao,

you're awake.

Does it still hurt?

No.

I'm glad to hear that.

Then I'll go back to sleep.

Where are you going?

To pull out the sword.

I'll come with you.

It's all right.

You should get some rest.

I...

I'll go by myself.

Something's not right.

I should follow him.

Report to Valley Master.

That man went towards the snow mountain.

Investigate further and give me more reports.

I haven't finished yet.

That woman also followed him.

They looked sneaky.

Sneaky?

Why?

What's their relationship?

I'm not worried about the sword.

But I'm afraid they might be...

Me too. So, are they...

Valley Master, Dragon Valley is in danger.

(Flaming Dragon Fang, )

(I need your strength)

(to avenge this blood debt as soon as possible.)

We probably shouldn't go up there.

I went a few steps too far last time.

My finger was injured

by the wind and snow.

We should just wait down here.

Stop right there.

It's that annoying.

Taoist clan woman again.

Who are you referring to? Come here.

Where do you think you're trying to go?

Let me go!

Don't think you can run away.

Let go!

Let me go!

I can let all of you go.

But you have to tell me

where I can find

medicinal herbs

to treat burns nearby.

I knew

the one up there

couldn't hold on anymore.

Our Valley Master is truly ingenious.

You're really overestimating yourselves.

Only someone with a pure heart

like the Dragon King

can pull out the Dragon Valley's.

Flaming Dragon Fang.

Forcing the sword out

will definitely burn you

and make you seriously wounded.

A pure heart?

You don't understand, do you?

The Flaming Dragon Fang may be forged

from the fang of the Dragon King.

But it also carries the blessings

of all the elves of our Dragon Valley.

It's a sword of protection.

Those with impure thoughts,

full of hatred,

and selfishness

are not worthy of wielding the sword.

I advise you

-to give up early! -Just give up!

-Give up!

Miss,

there's a kind of delicate blue flower

called Linglong Grass growing on the west wall

of the small path you came in from,

which can treat burns.

Why are you telling her?

Hurry. Let's go.

Let's go home.

Come on.

Hurry up now.

Let's go.

Let's go quickly.

(Tianyao is carrying so much burden.)

(What can I do for him?)

This woman seems to have found the medicinal herbs

and is helping that rascal to decoct them.

She keeps scooping something up over and over again.

What is she scooping?

It looks very complicated and troublesome.

She's skimming off the foam.

She has to do it carefully.

That girl seems to care a lot

about the person who's pulling out the sword.

Someone from a Taoist clan and a deer spirit.

Could they be a master and a familiar?

But who's the master, and who's the familiar?

Tianyao,

I brought you some medicine.

This one is for external use

and this one is for internal use.

Drink it while it's hot.

Where did you get the medicine from?

I picked it.

Did you go and pick herbs?

Drink it while it's hot.

Get some rest.

Yanhui, wait.

A leaf?

Are there any more?

Be careful.

Don't pull too hard.

Let me comb it for you.

Tianyao,

in the Taoist clan,

only a husband

can comb his wife's hair.

Do it yourself.

Why did I bring this up?

Never mind.

It's not like it would change anything if I talked to him.

Am I too concerned

about his feelings?

(I brought you some medicine.)

This one is for external use

and this one is for internal use.

Drink it while it's hot.

(Calm down.)

(I can't think about these things anymore.)

(Flaming Dragon Fang, )

(you're filled with the blessing of the elves.)

(You should understand)

(my desire for avenging them.)

(Why do you still resist me?)

(What exactly is the meaning)

(of "a pure heart"?)

Just now, their action

was the legendary love...

We cannot speak of it.

Our Dragon Valley

absolutely forbids us

from mentioning those words.

You're right. I almost misspoke.

But...

I feel like they are...

Our Dragon Valley

absolutely does not allow

such things to happen.

It was because.

Dragon King fell for someone back then

that the disaster struck.

We must separate them.

First of all,

we cannot let them live together.

I've fallen in love with him.

I don't like him.

I've already fallen in love with him.

Yes,

I've already fallen in love with him.

I've fallen in love with him?

I'm done for.

What do you mean by done for?

Why are you scared?

If you like someone,

go and pursue him.

That's right.

When he comes back,

I'll confess to him.

(But)

(I don't know why)

I just really like you.

I will never fall in love

with anyone in this lifetime.

No, I can't do that.

I can't be impulsive this time.

When I was affected by Fox Incense last time,

he already rejected me once.

This time I need to plan

and think of this

carefully

so that

he will accept

my passionate love.

If you want to pursue someone,

you have to know what he likes

and understand his preferences.

Then

cater to their likes

and win them over.

Last night,

-I was being emotional... -It's all right.

Let bygones be bygones.

People

should always move forward, right?

I'm glad you were not upset.

I wasn't upset.

But

I have a few questions to ask you.

Just ask.

What do you like to eat?

What do you like to eat?

What do I like to eat?

I don't like eating.

I never knew someone who doesn't like eating actually exists.

Why are you asking this?

Never mind.

Next question.

What do you like to drink?

Don't tell me you don't like drinking too.

You see.

For instance, tea, liquor,

the ice from the mountains,

the water from the lake,

and dewdrops in the distance.

Choose one.

Dewdrops, I guess.

Dewdrops.

(Favorite drinks)

Wait, I'm not done yet.

What's your favorite color?

None.

None?

Black.

It's black, isn't it?

You always wear black.

But you're not wearing black today.

Black.

So,

what's your favorite weather?

Any weather is fine.

You can't just say any weather.

Today.

Today?

It's sunny.

Hold it right there.

What's the matter?

Are you trying to kick us out again?

We can't fight you.

We admit that.

But we can't allow you

to continue living together.

Starting today,

you'll stay downstairs.

There's no need for that trouble.

We can stay together.

No, you can't. You have to move!

Why must I move?

If I say you must, you must move!

The Dragon Valley

forbids romantic relationships.

If you want a romantic relationship,

you can't do it here in Dragon Valley.

Who's having a romantic relationship here?

Stop talking nonsense.

This morning...

Jeez...

Let him go! Let him go!

Let him go.

Fine, I'll move!

You better move out.

We are in Dragon Valley,

also known as Heartless Valley.

We don't allow

romantic gestures like combing the hair

you did last night.

Let's go.

I was wondering why they were talking nonsense.

It turns out they misunderstood.

This paper house

doesn't look very sturdy anyway.

I'll move downstairs.

You didn't want

to stay

with me before.

Why don't I move down there?

That's not necessary.

I'll move downstairs

since my bedding is already here.

Indeed,

I don't really like being around you.
