(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 33)

Leader Chenyi,

the dragon egg is warm now.

Please help me take a look

at how Tianyao is doing.

The Dragon Consciousness is indeed gathered together completely.

Then how long will it take for him

to transform into a physical form?

All things are different.

The Spirit Dragon is born and nurtured by Heaven.

It's even more mysterious.

I cannot say for sure

when he will

be awakened.

It doesn't matter.

So long there is hope,

I'm willing to wait as long as it takes.

By the way,

can you tell me

under what circumstances

you succeeded

in mastering the Ghostly Eulogy?

Ghostly Eulogy...

It seems

I managed

to control the dark aura

after refining

the Heart Protecting Scale.

Your strength is so powerful,

and your Divine Consciousness is so clear.

It seems the Heart Protecting Scale has played a significant role.

Such a turning point in adversity

is fate indeed.

It seems Xuelin was missing

a bit of luck back then.

If this opportunity

requires sacrificing Tianyao

as the price,

I'd rather not have it.

All right, stop hiding.

You can come out now.

Yanhui.

Huan Xiaoyan.

Zhuli.

Your clothes and demeanor

have changed.

Are you really okay?

Are you sure?

So the dark aura can no longer harm you?

I'm truly okay.

It's just

that Tianyao

has to suffer.

The Dragon King turned into an egg?

It was my fault.

How is this your fault?

It's all because of Chenxing Mountain.

I heard

it was Lingxiao of Chenxing Mountain's doing.

I can't believe he was your master.

How can there be a master

with such a bad character

in this world?

Indeed, there isn't a good person in the Taoist clans.

Except for my mother.

Father,

I know that peace between the Taoist and Spirit clans

is your lifelong wish.

But now, the Taoist clans are pressuring us.

How long do we

have to put up with them?

Zhuli,

it's a good thing that you hate evil.

But you can't

ignore people's lives

because of personal grievances.

But look at what happened to Tianyao now.

Are we going to let it go?

Of course not.

I'm now

the Lady of Dark Aura.

I belong neither to the Taoist clans

nor the Spirit Clan.

I'm the most suitable for settling personal grievances.

After Tianyao's condition stabilizes,

I'll go and settle the score with them

one by one.

When that happens,

all of you could just feign ignorance.

Excellent plan.

Enough already.

Yanhui just returned.

We should let her get some rest.

-You're right. -All right, then.

Then

we'll get going.

Come on.

Let's go.

The Fallen Star Platform Deadly Formation

has two keys.

This key is mine.

Master,

what's the meaning of this?

I'm afraid I have given in to my inner demon.

Inner demon?

Why aren't you

going to Starhaven

to ask Grandmaster for help?

Master Qingguang

has passed away.

I'll explain the situation

when I have the chance.

Chenxing Mountain is currently in imminent danger.

If I go astray,

activate the Deadly Formation.

Don't hesitate

or show mercy.

But, Master...

This is an order.

Yes, Master.

(May the former leaders of Chenxing Mountain)

(protect my master.)

(Don't let anything happen to him.)

(If the Heart Protecting Scale is destroyed, )

the power to aid the Dark Phantom will cease to exist.

Master Lingxiao,

-what's the matter? -Why are you helping her

to harm others?

You don't have the heart to personally execute the criminal?

(She may have made mistakes.)

But she has never done anything to harm others.

This is the hope of the Taoist clans and the people.

It looks like this is fate.

Ten years of master-disciple relationship...

For the sake of being together for ten years...

No one can go against Heaven's will.

Please let her go.

Destroy it.

You've driven me to a desperate end, to the point of killing me.

Promise me.

Lingxiao!

No one in this world can stop me anymore!

You're such a hypocrite!

Such a strong resentment here.

I didn't know

there was such a place in Chenxing Mountain.

This place is called Fallen Star Platform.

It was established by our first leader

to execute great evil spirits.

For hundreds of years,

we have executed

two millennium evil spirits,

including three Taoist masters

who became dark practitioners.

I thought the Taoist clans

cultivate the right path?

How could they become dark practitioners?

Because they became obsessed.

Obsessed?

Since they had become masters,

why couldn't they let go of their obsessions?

If they had managed to let go, it would be good.

Do you know where obsession originates?

Between causes and effects,

there are many regrets.

If they can make up for regrets,

they can let go of obsession.

But you don't have so many chances

to make up for regrets

in this world.

Don't have any regrets.

Don't do things you'll regret later.

This will be

the first lesson I teach you.

Master,

have you successfully gotten rid of your inner demon?

I can suppress it for now.

Don't worry.

I won't let it control me.

Where's Yanhui now?

In Qingqiu.

I'll be away for a few days.

So help me watch over Starhaven.

If there is any abnormality,

notify me through Snow Owl.

Yes, Master.

Master,

please

make sure to bring Yanhui back.

Stop!

Stop right there!

Who are you?

Lingxiao.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Why are you so flustered?

The Leader of Chenxing Mountain, Lingxiao,

has come to our doorstep with the intent to kill!

Lingxiao?

He sure is bold.

I'll go and take care of him.

Wait a minute.

If Lingxiao came to kill us,

why isn't there

any commotion?

He hasn't had the chance to do anything yet.

Tell me.

How many of them are here?

He came alone.

What weapon did he bring?

None.

Where is he now?

Outside.

This

doesn't look like

he's coming here to fight.

I'm sure he has an ulterior motive.

Have you forgotten Leader Chenyi's teachings?

Don't act impulsively.

Why didn't you even dodge?

His attacks missed me.

Why should I dodge?

Are you trying to provoke me?

Even if you didn't miss it,

I wouldn't dodge anyway.

Many of the Qingqiu clansmen

have already died at the hands of the Taoist clans.

Chenxing Mountain is the leader of the Taoist clans.

As the Leader of Chenxing Mountain,

it's natural for me to apologize.

Really?

He seems to really be here to apologize.

How pretentious.

His Majesty, Leader Chenyi, has invited Master Lingxiao

to the palace for an audience.

Why didn't you hit him

for real just now?

He's Master Lingxiao.

How could I possibly defeat him?

Greetings, Leader Chenyi.

Since you're here,

there's one thing.

I wish to discuss with you.

Leader Chenyi, please ask.

Saving one person

or saving the world,

which would you choose?

I thought

the world

was made up of countless individuals.

So if we save the world,

we save each individual.

But.

I was wrong.

Not only did I harm one person,

but I've also

put the world in danger.

I know what you're worrying about.

I do have the same concern.

I'm afraid Starhaven

can no longer contain him.

I came to Qingqiu this time

to ask for a chance

to make amends.

In this matter,

Qingqiu will join forces

with Chenxing Mountain to face the enemy.

I also have a question

to ask you.

How did Yanhui

master the dark aura?

I gave her the Ghostly Eulogy.

Ghostly Eulogy?

Yes.

That is Dark Phantom's cultivation method.

Will Yanhui be consumed

by the dark aura and lose her senses

by using the Dark Phantom's method?

Yanhui

is different

from those dark practitioners who have gone off the deep end.

She and the Dark Phantom

are both masters of dark aura.

They have a symbiotic relationship

with the dark aura.

So they can control

the dark aura

instead of being consumed by it.

So long as

she stays on the right path,

this will be a good thing

for both the Taoist and Spirit realms

as she can help

in restraining the Dark Phantom.

But

restraining

is only a temporary solution to the danger.

Dark Phantom

has completely taken over Qingguang's body

and amassed 100,000 Devil Army,

only waiting for an opportunity

to return to the mortal world

through Starhaven.

If we want to defeat Dark Phantom,

we still need Millennium Spirit Dragon

to use its dragon fire to overcome it.

Now that we don't have dragon fire,

do you have a way

to awaken the Spirit Dragon?

Yanhui has already gathered.

Tianyao's

scattered Dragon Consciousness.

As for when Tianyao

would be awakened,

it still depends on fate.

Tianyao,

are you cold?

Do you want me to cover you

with another blanket?

You've suffered too much

in this life.

I thought.

I could share your burden.

But I didn't expect

that you would die because of me.

You even

experienced death twice.

Stay away from me.

I'm scared.

You've never died before.

So you don't understand how I feel.

I even said

such mean things to you at the time.

When you're awake,

I'll give you

a proper apology.

Tianyao,

can you please wake up soon?

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Ma'am,

we heard Su'e activated a formation

in Chenxing Mountain

that harmed her fellow disciples

and was expelled because of it.

We thought

she would not behave like this

when you brought her back to Guanghan Sect.

But we never expected her

to do...

She's such a cruel and vicious person.

Ma'am, you must not...

You must not be partial in this matter.

-Please remove her from the sect! -Please get rid of her!

Are you sure.

Su'e is the killer?

It's definitely her.

The day you left,

Su'e suggested going to the place

where the Guanghan Sect hunts monsters.

So I brought her there.

She went on a killing spree

without restraint

like a mad woman!

It was

as if she was the legendary dark practitioner

who was surrounded by the dark aura.

It was terrifying.

If...

If my junior didn't save me...

I witnessed it too.

My senior was killed by her.

-Ma'am, please seek justice for us. -Please stand up for us.

Please rid the sect of dishonorable people.

All right.

Since you're sure

that Su'e is the killer,

I shall not tolerate it.

From today on, Guanghan Sect will do everything

in its power to hunt down the criminal, Su'e.

She shall pay

with her life.

-Ma'am, you're indeed righteous! -Ma'am, how upright you are!

Who's there?

Yanhui!

Xiange?

Yanhui.

Yanhui, are you all right?

I heard you became the Lady of Dark Aura

to save him.

Fortunately, we had the opportunity

to get our hands on the Ghostly Eulogy.

Or else Tianyao and I

would have been in a dire situation.

I'm glad you're okay now.

Look how thin you've become.

But anything

is worth doing

as long as I can save Tianyao.

Now that you've saved him,

you should relax a little.

I would never expect

that the famous Spirit Dragon

would appear

in such a state one day.

How wonderful.

Let me touch it.

Don't touch him.

What if you break him?

This is a dragon egg, not a chicken egg.

It won't break that easily.

How do you know?

I used to be the owner of the Qijue Agency.

Even if the Flower Medallion is damaged now,

who else knows more

about the worldly rumors

and hearsay than me?

It's said that this dragon egg is indestructible.

Even a diamond couldn't break it.

If you don't believe me,

you can try and tap it.

You'll never know

if he'll give you a response.

Tap it.

What do I do now?

What should I do now?

Yanhui.

It's hatching...

It's hatching! It's hatching.

Look at it.

It's hatching.

What did I tell you?

You need to tap it.

Stop it.

Are you tired of living?

Yanhui,

we'll take our leave now.

You...

You...

Yanhui is really different

ever since she became the Lady of Dark Aura.

She scared me to death.

Well, you deserved it.

Don't you feel sorry for me?

All right.

Since the egg is starting to hatch,

that means Tianyao

will come out of it soon.

You scared Yanhui earlier.

So it's only right

that we should

prepare a gift

to welcome Tianyao's return.

Indeed.

My wife sure

is a thoughtful person.

Stop flattering me.

Tianyao.

Tian...

Tianyao.

He just came out like that?

That was fast.

Let me see if he's missing any limbs.

That's...

That's great.

Tianyao.

Why are you...

Tianyao!

You...

Tianyao,

what's wrong?

Don't get out of bed

without your clothes on!

Tianyao.

Tianyao!

Mr. Yan,

have some tea.

Yesterday,

Yanhui brought Tianyao back.

I thought about it last night.

If I were to encounter something like this,

I would be helpless.

Even if my loved one died in front of me,

I wouldn't be able to do anything.

I don't wish to be helpless

if I ever going to encounter

a similar incident in the future.

When Changlan

was in Qingqiu before,

he indulged me

and let me fool around all day

without any responsibilities.

I thought he was being nice

to me at the time.

But now I realized

that some people were just pretending

to be kind and agreeable to me.

But they were not doing it for my own good.

So I would like to ask you

to discipline me strictly

in the future

and help me learn

how to manage the family and the country.

It's not too late to learn.

You can still learn.

Your Highness,

you've finally grown up.

Mr. Yan, drink your tea.

All right.

This gift

is perfect

for the current Tianyao.

Yes.

After all, you stayed up all night

to make it yourself.

Yanhui takes loyalty seriously.

I'm sure she'll let it go

seeing how sincere you are.

That day, I didn't do it for no reason.

If I didn't remind her

to give it a tap

out of good intentions,

the dragon egg

would not have hatched yet.

Come on.

Zhuli,

something bad is happening!

Why are you in a rush?

What happened?

I saw fire

in Yanhui's courtyard.

A fire seems to break out.

Let's go and check it out!

Come on!

Yanhui,

what's going on here?

Tianyao, calm down.

Calm down.

That's it.

Calm down.

It's on fire!

Hurry!

What's going on here?

The water in the basin.

Tianyao.

You...

It took me all night to make it.

Heavens...

Tianyao hatched out so big.

He's causing such a commotion.

Why aren't you stopping him?

Yes, stop him!

Come here.

If I can stop him,

would I be in this state?

Why do I feel

he's spitting fire at you?

Stay away from me.

Why are you so mean?

Tianyao.

Tianyao,

it's me.

I'm Yanhui.

Don't you remember me?

Leader Chenyi?

-Leader Chenyi. -Father.

Don't worry.

I just put him to bed

for a while.

The Dragon King

doesn't look smart in this state.

You're the one who's dull.

Don't speak ill of Dragon King.

How did he grow

so big?

The gifts.

I prepared are useless now.

What is that?

I wouldn't know

if a baby or a dragonet

would hatch from the dragon egg.

So I prepared two sets of gifts.

But who knew that such a small egg

could hatch a tall strong man?

Leader Chenyi,

what's the matter with Tianyao?

Tianyao

has just been reborn from the dragon egg.

He's now like a newborn.

How can we help him regain

his Divine Consciousness?

I'm not very sure about this.

But if you can take him back

to the mortal world

to experience more,

he may grow up faster.

Father,

if Dragon King knows nothing,

why does he only treat Yanhui like this?

Did he show

any affection toward you?

No.

He has some hostility

toward me.

He started spitting fire at me when he woke up.

The dark aura and dragon fire

counter each other.

Perhaps he sees you

as an enemy.

It's okay.

What matters is that he's alive.

I'll help him recover.

I have

some divine talismans here.

You can use it on him

to control his actions

and prevent him

from hurting anyone.

You can have them now.

Thank you, Leader Chenyi.

Tianyao,

listen.

I spent

a very long time

preparing this soup for you.

You must drink it.

I'll remove

the talismans for you in a while.

You mustn't spit fire.

All right.

What's the matter with you?

I heard

the Dragon King

is behaving like a child.

If that's the case,

his rude behavior

should be stopped.

You must not indulge and spoil him.

What are you doing here?

You...

Yanhui,

he's your master.

He was the one

who put Tianyao and me in this situation.

He deserves to die!

Stop it!

The Dragon King was just born.

Are you going

to kill someone in front of him

as his first lesson?

I will remember that you ever used the Soul-Annihilating Whip

on me at Fallen Star Platform.

After Tianyao recovers,

I'll seek justice

and revenge.

I whipped you

to save you.

Of course you did.

If you didn't push me over the edge,

I would have died.

I was wrong.

Well,

you can blame me.

But the Taoist-Spirit realms

are suffering because of Dark Phantom.

Only you and Tianyao

can resolve this situation.

I'm willing to assist you...

No need.

Yanhui,

once a master, he'll always be your lifelong guide.

Since an elder is apologizing sincerely,

you should...

Let's go out and take a stroll.

Tianyao!

His spiritual power hasn't fully recovered yet.

So he won't go far.

We'll definitely find him

within the Royal Palace of Qingqiu.

This team, search over here.

The rest can search over there.

Comb the area.

Yes, Your Highness!

Let's go.

Dragon King and Yanhui's life

are full of adversities.

Every moment is a matter of life and death.

They always look for each other.

But

fortunately, either one of them

is persistent

and never gives up.

That's because they have a tacit understanding

that ordinary people don't have.

We also have a tacit understanding.

I was talking about Dragon King and Yanhui.

What are you talking about?

I'm serious.

I'll treat you well.

I've studied

under Brush Sprite previously.

I still lack a lot of knowledge

about this world.

But I'll work hard.

I want you

to live a good life

after you become my wife.

A very good one.

I'm not your wife yet.

But you already promised me.

But we haven't

had a wedding yet.

After everything is over,

I will give you

the grandest wedding in the world.

You're holding my hands too tightly.

You're going to be my wife anyway.

Why are you blushing?

Isn't your face redder

than mine now?

You've been eating

too much recently.

I can't even stop you.

See? You get sick from overeating.

I didn't overeat.

If you didn't, then why...

I...

Your waist does look a little wider now.

But it doesn't matter.

You're the most beautiful

in my heart.

I...

You're usually very smart.

Why are you so clueless today?

If you didn't overeat...

I'm...

I'm...

Then you're...

I'm...

What? You're...

Am I...

Am I...

I'm...

I'm going to be a father?

I'm going to be a father?

I'm going to be a father.

I'm going to be a father.

What are you doing?

Be careful and put me down.

We still need to go and look for Tianyao.

No, we're not.

Our baby is more important.

Put me down!

I'm going to be a father!

Put me down.

No!

Tianyao.

Tianyao!

Tianyao!

Tianyao.

My apologies.

I thought you were someone else.

(This person looks familiar.)

You're...

I'm Lu Musheng.

(The one Suying loves.)

Lu Musheng?

And you are...

I'm Yanhui.

Have you seen Tianyao around?

No.

I came

to bring flowers

to mourn Yunxi.

But you mistook me for someone else.

I'm sorry about that.

It's okay.

You have a deep affection

for Princess Yunxi.

We've been married for 20 years.

I thought I would pass away before her.

But I didn't expect...

Every day I would bring

some things here

to express my longing for her,

hoping to use the supernatural or divine powers

to let her come to me

in my dreams.

Even if it's only once.

My days are numbered,

and I'm afraid.

I can't live to the day I meet her in my dream.

I've mastered the Ghostly Eulogy

and become the Lady of Dark Aura.

If you want,

perhaps

I can extend your life.

No need for the trouble.

To me,

this is the best for me.

Then,

I shall not be in your way.

The Spirit Dragon was just born.

So everything is unfamiliar to him.

Perhaps he's hiding

because he's afraid.

He should be hiding

in a place he finds to be the safest.

(He can't go far because his spiritual power hasn't recovered.)

(The safest place?)

(No place is safer than the Royal Palace)

(since there are least people here.)

Thank you for reminding me.

I hope you both will live happily together forever

and never be separated.

Tianyao!

Tianyao.

It's okay.

I won't hurt you.

Don't move.

See?

I'm not going to hurt you.

Listen carefully.

Down below

is a very deep cliff.

It will hurt a lot if you fall.

Let's not go that way.

All right?

Tianyao!

Tianyao,

you don't like this, do you?

Tianyao, watch.

It's gone.

Tianyao,

it's all gone.

You don't like it.

So I put it away, right?

Tianyao,

why is your face injured?

Does it hurt?

Why don't I apply some ointment for you?

It won't hurt after you apply it.

Smell it.

It's aromatic.

It doesn't stink.

Besides,

your injuries won't hurt after you apply it on them.

It smells nice, right?

This is a medicinal ointment.

So I'll apply it on you.

Is that all right with you?

Your injuries won't hurt after I apply it on them.

Here I go.

(This burning pain...)

(Indeed, )

(I'll get burned for touching him)

(since I'm the Lady of Dark Aura now.)

It's all right.

I'll keep applying the ointment on you.

All done.

It doesn't hurt that much anymore, right?

You no longer spit fire at me.

So you know I'm not a bad person, right?

It's great

that you know how to protect yourself.

But

you must never hurt innocent people.

You must have good intentions in your heart.

In the future,

your good intentions

will also protect you.

Tianyao,

do you understand

what I'm saying?

So, do you understand

what I'm saying?

(I'll make you get better, )

(I promise.)
