Back From the Brink (护心)

I don't want you

to get yourself injured

by attempting to pull out the sword in the valley.

You're not putting in effort

for the sake of a better future.

You're just punishing yourself.

That's right.

So what if that's the case? What has that got to do with you?

It breaks my heart.

Not for kids to see!

I know you blame yourself for this.

I know you feel guilty about it.

But what happened in the past wasn't your fault.

No.

It was all my fault.

No, it's not.

I...

I exposed our clan to danger.

It was me.

I trusted the wrong person.

You'd already punished yourself

for many years.

You should forgive yourself now.

Tianyao!

Tianyao,

I said

I had to cross the line you drew

because...

Because I still have ulterior motives.

I should've...

Forget it.

What do you want?

I want

you.

Me?

What do you want me to do?

I don't want you to do anything.

I just want you.

I

Like you.

You!

What type of reaction is that?

I...

I know.

I know I said that before.

But

I said that because I was influenced by Fox Incense.

This time, it's different.

This time,

there's no external influence.

I like you

sincerely,

honestly,

and from the bottom of my heart.

But I...

I don't have a heart.

If so,

I can lend you mine.

In the future,

I'll retrieve your real heart for you.

I'm sorry.

Her heart

is broken.

Isn't this what I wanted?

Stop thinking about it.

I should go to sleep first.

If so,

I can lend you mine first.

In the future,

I'll retrieve your real heart

for you.

Yanhui.

I hope that after I retrieve my body,

you...

can live a peaceful life.

Flaming Dragon Fang,

the sword of protection.

So, you came back

to prove

that my feelings for Yanhui...

From now on,

only a pure person

like you,

with the intention of protecting others,

can wield this sword.

Why are you sighing again?

You two have been sighing all morning.

Right now,

it's just like what the poem has described.

My heart yearns for it ceaselessly,

even in the deepest slumber and...

Waking light.

That's right.

Even in the deepest slumber and waking light.

Your sigh is even louder than mine.

You yearn for your love,

while I yearn for something else.

When

can our lord be cured?

He's going berserk in the ring.

I'm sure he's suffering.

Actually, this is the case.

You see,

I don't think yearning for someone is an issue.

However,

there's no need to lose sleep over him.

If it doesn't work out, why don't you

seek another partner?

Seek another partner?

Do you think

that I'm not good enough for him?

Are you suggesting I should give up?

I think he's not good enough for you.

Flaming Dragon Fang?

Flaming Dragon Fang.

When did you pull it out?

Have you recovered your pure heart?

So,

are you...

Where's the ring?

Before this, we said

we would save the Phantom King

right after recovering the sword.

That's right. We should save my lord first.

Begone!

My Lord!

The Dragon King saved you.

The Dragon King?

Dragon King, thank you for saving me.

Phantom King,

spare the formalities.

My Lord.

My Lord,

you've finally returned to normal.

I missed you.

Xiaoyan,

long time no see.

How have you been?

Don't pull my hair again.

Everyone, sorry about that.

It was embarrassing.

Since you've recovered,

why don't you explain

the presence of the dark aura

within the Misty Forest to us?

Are you a dark practitioner?

Yes.

And you...

You have a fetish for nostrils.

I had no grudges against you,

yet you attacked

my vital point, which is my nostrils.

I'm the largest victim

of the incident.

Sorry about that.

I attacked you

because I thought

you were the villain who annihilated the Phantom Clan.

It's because that villain

was a dark practitioner too.

You're not him.

He's from Qingqiu.

He's a visual spell master.

He lured people who went berserk

into the Misty Forest.

After that, he tortured them

and let them die there

to gather the dark aura.

The forest of tombstones

deep inside the forest

is the place where dark aura gathered.

(Weeping bitter resentment day and night, wandering souls with endless grievances.)

However, you need to finish your epitaph beforehand.

I'll carve them on your tombstone later.

No wonder they harbored resentment

before they died.

I understand now.

So, the Phantom Clan

is just like the Shadow Clan.

Both of our clans are victims of the dark aura.

Someone from Qingqiu was actually committing such evil deeds?

Why were the Taoist clans and Spirit Clans

kept in the dark?

That person didn't want others

to discover his evil deeds.

Thus, he targeted

the Phantom Clan.

He used the power of our entire clan

to create

the mist trap within the Misty Forest.

Even we phantom spirits

were trapped within the spell.

We were forced to suppress

the dark aura for the rest of our lives.

Luckily, Dragon King,

you helped us out personally.

Do you still remember

what the dark practitioner looks like?

I only remember

that he
