The Longest Promise (玉骨遥)

My husband and I were engulfed by Power of Chaos

when we were traveling outside.

And now,

he has already passed away,

leaving me alone in this place.

It's been a really long while since I saw people.

There are fierce delusional spirits

roaming around here.

You two,

please go inside with me.

Granny, be careful.

Come on.

Young people,

you must be tired.

Wipe off your sweat.

Here, wipe off your sweat.

Thank you, Granny.

All right.

I've been searching for a way out desperately

for twenty years,

but to no avail.

Here, drink some water.

Finally, I met you here today.

You can keep me company from now on.

Granny.

Someone is waiting for us

outside.

Why don't you

come with us?

I don't see anything good out there.

The gentleman next to you

is someone with great ambition.

This is the only place

where the two of you

can stay together forever.

And so,

he'll only have his eyes fixated on you

and no one else.

Isn't that good?

Granny, you have mistaken us.

I'll never be with him forever.

Staying just half a day beside him is boring enough.

Right?

She's right.

We plan

to stay here.

Pardon?

Don't be shy, young girl.

It's exhausting

after walking for a long time.

Here, have a piece of pastry.

It's better not

to eat food from a stranger.

Since we've decided

to settle down here,

she's not a stranger to us.

Exactly.

He's right.

Come on, open wide. I'll feed you.

You two

will stay here with me for good.

Rest assured. It's safe.

They are all dust.

She's a delusional spirit.

We have to break her obsession

to deal with her.

Most people are cautious

and her desire can't be satisfied.

The more they reject her,

the more obsessed she becomes,

which arouses more anger in her.

Why did you give me the pastry

when you didn't eat it?

There are no chopsticks here.

I couldn't eat.

Fine.

You're the elegant one, and I'm uncivilized.

I simply deserve to eat dirt.

Exactly.

Now that you've tasted the dirt

and it's not delicious,

why should I eat it, then?

You!

What a way

you ruin my day.

This is it.

(The full moon wanes and overflowing water spills.)

(Extreme resentment breeds wrath and death leads to a new life.)

The full moon wanes and overflowing water spills.

Extreme resentment breeds wrath and death leads to a new life.

What does this mean?

Greed, resentment and delusion.

We've broken the three spirits.

This should be the way to get out of this place.

However,

I haven't fathomed the underlying meaning.

Have you ever thought that you'd

be trapped inside here with me forever

when you came in?

Priest of Grand Preceptor.

You're of noble status

and with decent behavior.

Yet you risk yourself in danger

for a clumsy and reckless person like me,

is it worth it?

I'm talking to you.

I don't have to answer that.

Because we'll leave this place.

Look, the exit.

It is, and it's not.

What do you mean?

If I push you into that hole

and sacrifice you to Power of Chaos,

I can leave this place unscathed.

What did you just say?

I came here

for the force of Chaos

to aid my cultivation.

So, you didn't mean

to save me?

Well, you should blame your own tough luck

for being engulfed by the Power of Chaos.

But

you're a godsend to me.

Anyway, it will be considered an accident

if something happens to you

during the disciple selection competition.

Crimson King

won't blame me.

You must be lying.

I've deceived you before,

and I'm doing it again.

You're so predictable.

You...

Either I push you down,

or you jump down yourself.

Either way,

you're going to die.

You always fool me,

trick me, and look down upon me.

I hate you. I hate you!

How fantastic.

How did you identify the way to leave this place?

Isn't this

all within your plan?

The full moon wanes and overflowing water spills.

Extreme resentment breeds wrath and death leads to a new life.

The hole that's shrouded

by immense resentment

will only open

for those who are vexed with extreme resentment.

If I don't make her resent me,

how could she turn the death end

into an opportunity

and return to the mortal world?

But she'll never know

your kind will

when she jumped off here.

When she's passing through the hole,

she would only resent you, hate you,

and curse you.

Meanwhile, her strong resentment

will consume you

and trap you here.

You'll end up being like me.

Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan.

Qing Gang.

Where am I?

Qianyue Peak.

How long has it been?

Half an hour.

The black mist engulfed you.

But how did you manage to get out of that?

One day inside the hole is a moment in the world.

I'm still alive.

Once she realized

that you did that

to save her

but ended up being killed by her resentment,

she'll be in pieces.

And that's what I'm looking forward to.

What? A benign thought?

I've never seen

someone harbored a benign thought

when they jumped through the Hole of Life and Death.

When did you

hint at her?

The entire place is under your control.

I have no chance

to tell her about this.

You said

that her feelings

stem from me

and will backfire on me.

To your surprise,
