Short filmTranscript
00:00Tony's crush had been coughing non-stop.
00:02Hearing that, according to an old folk remedy, Snake Gullcody's coughing,
00:06he had people cut the snake from my waist in half and extract the ball.
00:09My cultivation of power I had accumulated over tens of thousands of years vanished in an instant.
00:15I stared at him, cradling what remained of the snake in my arms.
00:18You know what I am. Once the snake disappears, I'll disappear too.
00:23However, Tony just laughed and skinned the snake right in front of me.
00:27Only Lord Anon would believe something like that.
00:30Don't try to fool me. It's just a snake. I'll get you another one.
00:35Overnight, my hair turned completely grey.
00:38I rushed to visit Lord Anson with my snake in a sealed jar.
00:41I've saved the brooks from the last disaster.
00:44I've repaid the favor of saving me 100 years ago.
00:47Now my body is ruined. I can't protect you now.
00:50So I'm leaving.
00:52Some smoke came from my snake like it was disintegrating.
00:55The doctor shook her head.
00:57They destroyed its core.
00:58They know how to kill a snake for good.
01:01Sorry, I can't save it.
01:03Then I put the two halves of my snake back into the jar.
01:05I could feel every sensation my snake endured.
01:08The pain still tore through my back, as if I myself had been cut in half.
01:12Lord Anson supported me and kept blaming Tony.
01:15I've told him many times, you're connected to the snake.
01:19How could he dare cut it open just for the gall?
01:22I moved forward in great pain, with numb legs.
01:25Tony definitely knew I could feel what the snake was feeling.
01:28But he still cut my snake in half without hesitation.
01:31Seeing me fall to the ground, he actually rolled his eyes and said,
01:35Keep pretending.
01:36You used the whole connected to snake thing to fool Lord Aniston.
01:39He might buy it, but I won't.
01:41Then, he asked them to dig the gall out of my snake.
01:44He said nothing, seeing me on the ground in great pain,
01:48and threw the body of my snake back to me.
01:50You're definitely not some supernatural being,
01:52since you claim the snake contains all your cultivation.
01:55It must be nutritious.
01:56If it can stop Tara from coughing,
01:58I'll get you a new one so that you can fool Lord Aniston more.
02:04Suddenly, the butler came to the veterinary hospital.
02:07She gave me a cardboard box, saying Tony asked her to deliver this to me.
02:11In unbearable pain, I opened the box.
02:13Only to find an eagle flying out.
02:16It seemed to have smelled my snake, and then flew straight to the jar.
02:19I covered the jar with my body, and tried to cast a spell.
02:23But nothing happened.
02:24Only then did I remember that all my cultivation was already gone.
02:28So I had to protect the jar with my body.
02:30Everyone knew the natural enemy of snakes was eagles, including Tony.
02:34Though I had already been in human shape, the fear was still in my bones.
02:39The eagle kept pecking me until Lord Aniston had his guards kill it.
02:42I almost fainted on the ground.
02:44Then the respected Lord Aniston knelt in front of me all of a sudden.
02:48Holly, I really didn't expect Tony to do such outrageous things to you.
02:52Since you're our family guardian, I'll drown you a halpy from Cultivate and protect you until you regain all your
02:58power.
02:59Please forgive me thises, and keep shooping us for the sake of my mother.
03:03I didn't know what to say.
03:05About 100 years ago, Lord Aniston's mother saved me from an eagle.
03:09She took me back home, and bound up my wound, to repay her kindness.
03:13After I cultivated and became an immortal, I came to her and promised to guard her family.
03:18To save Tony, I forcibly transformed into human shape.
03:21However, my cultivation stayed with my snake form.
03:24But now, my snake was destroyed by Tony.
03:27My cultivation had all gone.
03:29I couldn't protect the brooks anymore.
03:32Looking at Lord Aniston kneeling in front of me, I felt more determined.
03:35I did promise your mother to protect the brooks.
03:38But now I really lost all my cultivation.
03:40I'm no longer a guardian.
03:42I've saved the brooks from so many disasters, and I've sacrificed my cultivation to save Tony.
03:47I think we're pretty much even now.
03:48Just let me go.
03:53I limped my way back home.
03:55Before I entered, I heard Tony and Tara talking.
03:58People say snakes are...
04:00Unnaturally gifted.
04:02Is that how Holly satisfied you?
04:03She's not a snake or something.
04:05And you know, I'm only satisfied with you.
04:07I stormed in.
04:09However, Tony just ignored me and kept kissing Tara.
04:12Tara was somewhat shocked when she saw me in my gray hair.
04:15She pushed Tony away and started coughing.
04:17Tara seemed to be calling me a monster, but I couldn't hear her clearly, because her coughing
04:22left her gasping for breath.
04:24Tony frowned and patted Tara.
04:25All of a sudden, he rushed over and slapped me.
04:28How the hell did you make your hair gray?
04:30And how dare you come to scare Tara?
04:32He stepped on me and stared at me.
04:34Tara on the couch looked somewhat smug.
04:36She faked another cough, pointed at my jar and said,
04:39Come on, Tony.
04:40I don't think Holly was trying to scare me or something.
04:42But the gall of her snake did help ease my coughing.
04:45I bet some snake soup could make me feel much better.
04:48Suddenly, all of us three were looking at my jar.
04:51I had to hold it much tighter.
04:53Tony Brooke.
04:54You know there's a connection between me and my snake.
04:58If you boil it, I will feel boiled too.
05:06He didn't even let me finish and just took my jar away.
05:10Then he asked the butler to cook my snake as fast as she could.
05:13Very soon, I started feeling burning.
05:16I had to pinch myself to shift my focus away from the unbearable burning feeling.
05:20But it was not working.
05:22I could still feel it even when I was in cold water.
05:25Tony stormed in and grabbed my gray hair.
05:27He asked if I dyed my hair on purpose and said he was going to expose me or something.
05:32You've always been fooling Lord Anson with your lame tricks
05:35and claimed to have saved my life with your cultivation.
05:38Tara told me the truth.
05:40She bought me some medicine abroad and let me take it when you were away.
05:43I just can't believe it.
05:45The whole family actually were okay with you locking me up and keeping me away from medicine.
05:50Tony forced me out of the cold water.
05:52The burning feeling came stronger, so I had to curl up on the ground.
05:55He just stared at me like he didn't even care.
05:58You know about Guardian, right?
05:59Which can protect my whole family.
06:01If I hadn't believed that you'd saved me, I'd never have married you.
06:04Tara is my love, and she should be protected too.
06:07But you?
06:08You don't deserve it.
06:09I looked up at him for a second, then closed my eyes and laughed.
06:13Tara had destroyed the Guardian itself and yet she still expected protection?
06:17You want her to replace me as your wife?
06:22Funny.
06:23Hours later, the snake soup was served.
06:26I sat alone in cold water, biting down on something and clutching the bathtub to distract myself
06:31slightly.
06:31They started cutting and eating my snake, which I could also feel at the same time.
06:36I almost fainted from it.
06:39Holly Summers, just drop your act already.
06:41You stole Tara's position to be protected, but I only took your pet snake.
06:45Do you really have to act like that?
06:47You're only making me sicker of you.
06:48After reprimanding me, Tony continued enjoying the snake soup with Tara.
06:56I noticed the black aura over their heads, and then closed my eyes.
07:00The Brooke family had been cursed actually, and I was protecting them with my cultivation.
07:04But now I had lost the last bit of my cultivation, so the curse on them would come back soon.
07:09The Brooke family had made a living by fishing, which was once regarded as a sinful and cursed
07:14trait.
07:14To repay their kindness, I promised to protect them.
07:1710 years ago, Lord Anson knelt in the ancestral hall and begged me to save Tony, because he'd
07:23been in a coma for a while.
07:24Originally, Tony was destined to die young.
07:27But to repay their kindness, I used my cultivation to keep him alive.
07:31Year after year, my cultivation kept going down.
07:35And to save Tony, I forcibly transformed into human form.
07:39Because of that, I had to endure lightning strikes for three whole days.
07:42I almost died from that.
07:44When Tony woke up, he saw me beside him, with a snake on my waist.
07:49He didn't seem scared and even petted it.
07:52Holly, thank you for saving me.
07:54I'll ask Lord Anson to agree to our marriage.
07:57Tony said he didn't care about my status.
07:59He kept begging Lord Anson despite being lashed.
08:02He insisted on marrying me.
08:04That was almost the most exciting moment for me during all those years.
08:08After we got married, Tony learned that the snake was really important to me.
08:12So he cherished it and even cooked for it.
08:15However, everything changed because of Tara Smith after several months.
08:21In the beginning, Tony stopped believing that I saved him with my cultivation.
08:26He found a bottle of medicine for neurological disorders and presented it to me.
08:31I actually believed your bullshit.
08:33It was just your scheme to marry me, right?
08:36I woke up just because of Tara's medicine.
08:38He took the snake around my waist, threw it on the ground and stepped on it.
08:42I spat blood in front of him.
08:44He didn't stop at all.
08:45Even wanted to throw my snake out of the window.
08:48Without the snake, I bet you can't fool Lord Anson again.
08:51Then he just dropped my snake.
08:53I had to stay in bed because my legs were broken after that.
08:57After my hair was dyed black, the butler pulled me out of the bathtub.
09:01Ma'am, Mr. Tony bought a pet for Ms. Tara.
09:04He says you're familiar with pets, so he wants you to help.
09:07The burning feeling came again and my leg problem reappeared.
09:11I fell at the threshold and my ankles swelled.
09:13Every step forward was great pain.
09:16The butler suddenly pushed me downstairs.
09:18When I stopped...
09:20Don't blame me, ma'am.
09:21Mr. Tony wants you there in two minutes.
09:23I'm just helping you.
09:25When I got to the cage, my whole body hurt.
09:28I lifted my head only to find the eagle from before.
09:31Tony opened the cage and let the eagle out.
09:33The fear of the natural enemy wanted me to stand up,
09:36but my injured body wouldn't let me.
09:38I fell on the ground again.
09:44Don't you know immortal power or something?
09:46Go cast a spell on the eagle then.
09:52The eagle smelled blood on me and then rushed over to me.
09:55I just fainted after that attack.
09:58She blacked out.
09:59Can't even take a peck now, Brack!
10:01Get a doctor!
10:06When I woke up, my legs were wrapped in thick layers of bandages.
10:09My arms were so pale they were nearly transparent.
10:12I knew my time was running out.
10:14I forced myself up and went straight to the Brooke family ancestral hall.
10:18Then I smashed the guardian's tablet.
10:20I could no longer protect the Brooke family,
10:23and I would no longer accept their worship.
10:25The next second, Tony Brooke rushed in.
10:28His gaze locked onto the shattered fragments around my feet.
10:31In an instant, he grabbed my shoulder.
10:34Why did you touch the guardian's tablet?
10:36You knew I was about to marry Tara,
10:38so you did this on purpose, didn't you?
10:40You didn't want her to live long.
10:41You just want her to cough non-stop till she dies.
10:45He ordered the servants to drag me outside
10:47and forced me to kneel in front of Tara.
10:50I lifted my head.
10:52Tara reclined lazily in a chair.
10:53One person shaded her from the sun.
10:56Another waved a fan.
10:58She looked relaxed and comfortable.
11:00Not the slightest trace of illness.
11:02Just as I was about to question it,
11:04a whip sliced through the air and struck my back.
11:06My knees buckled, and I collapsed to the ground.
11:09We're just to marry you
11:09unto the Brooke family gravers to 300 lashes.
11:16Now that I've decided to divorce you,
11:18you'll suffer the same pain before you leave.
11:21You have some divine power, right?
11:23If I survived 300 lashes,
11:25this should feel like nothing to you.
11:31The whip came down again.
11:33Gradually blood soaked my back.
11:35Flesh tore open.
11:36My consciousness slowly drifted away.
11:39In a daze, I remembered the past.
11:41That year, Tony had been whipped until he collapsed.
11:45Yet the moment Lord Anson agreed to let him marry me,
11:47he laughed like a child, forgetting all his pain.
11:50In this life, even if I'm spowered to pieces,
11:52even if I die a miserable death,
11:53or making way I might die a ponly wife.
11:56A tear slid from the corner of my eye.
11:59I felt him crouch in front of me, testing my breath.
12:02Tony, do you know what happens
12:03when you break a promise to the Guardian?
12:07Shattered to pieces, a miserable death.
12:11I smiled and then closed my eyes.
12:13A white light exploded in my mind.
12:16A vast, ancient voice resounded like a great bell.
12:23Holly Summers, a mere snake,
12:26to repay the Brooke family's life-saving grace.
12:29You sacrificed yourself to block calamity a hundred times.
12:32In recognition of your gratitude,
12:34you have passed the divine trial.
12:36You are verily permitted to ascend.
12:39Tony felt my breath and assumed I was pretending again.
12:42So he snorted and left with Tara.
12:44Only much later did Lord Anson learn what Tony had done.
12:47He knelt before me,
12:49watching my body slowly turn transparent,
12:51sobbing as he begged.
12:52Holly, I've already had craftsmen prepare a golden statue for you.
12:57Please, continue protecting the Brooke family.
13:00The Brooke family was burdened with grave sins from the start.
13:04I shielded you from divine rapation
13:06only out of gratitude for your mother's kindness.
13:08Now my tribulation is complete.
13:11I will ascend.
13:12From this moment on,
13:13you will have to face all the retribution yourselves.
13:16With those words,
13:18I vanished.
13:19The nearly hundred-year-old man slammed his head against the ground again and again.
13:23All he saw was white smoke dispersing into the air.
13:25It's over.
13:27The Brooke family is finished.
13:35That night,
13:36Tony took Tara for a checkup
13:38and only returned after confirming her coughing wouldn't worsen.
13:41As he passed the garden outside the ancestral hall,
13:43he found my blood from earlier that day was gone.
13:46He turned and asked Lord Anson,
13:48Where's Holly?
13:50Didn't I order her to kneel in the courtyard all day?
13:52Before anyone could answer,
13:54Lord Anson stepped out from the side.
13:56His cane came down hard on Tony's leg to make him kneel.
13:59Lord Anson looked terrible.
14:01You unfilial ret.
14:04I told you long ago,
14:05Holly is the guardian of our family.
14:08The snake was merely the manifestation of her cultivation.
14:11The snake is destroyed.
14:12So is the guardian.
14:14From now on,
14:15no one will protect the Brooke family anymore.
14:18Tommy froze.
14:19Then he pushed himself up and laughed.
14:22Grandfather,
14:23don't let her fool you anymore.
14:24I tested her today.
14:26She's terrified of eagles.
14:28How could she be the guardian?
14:30She's nothing but a greedy loser after our wealth.
14:33Everything was made up by her.
14:35And that snake?
14:36Just an ordinary pet snake.
14:39Its gall couldn't even cure a cough.
14:41Lord Anson slapped Tony.
14:42His cane slammed against the ground.
14:44Didn't you notice that after the snake was harmed,
14:47Holly's health kept dislining?
14:48Every knife you ordered onto that snake was a knife cut into Holly herself.
14:52How could you be so cruel to the wife you begged for with your own suffering?
14:56Tony's mind went blank.
14:58Fragments plodded back.
15:03The day the snake gall was taken.
15:05The moment I collapsed.
15:07My lifeless legs dragged across the ground.
15:10Exactly like that snake.
15:12He whispered in disbelief.
15:13Holly is terrified of pain.
15:16If the snake truly shared her senses,
15:19then this will be...
15:20Panic surged.
15:21He turned to Lord Anson,
15:22desperate for answers.
15:23How could the family guardian
15:24take human form
15:26and become his wife?
15:27Before Lord Anson could speak,
15:30dark clouds opened the thunderboard,
15:32indicating a calamity was coming.
15:35If you want know the truth,
15:37then kneel in the ancestral hall tonight
15:39and see for yourself
15:40whether anyone will protect our family.
15:43That night,
15:44thunder in the heavens,
15:45Tommy desperately pieced together the fragments on the floor.
15:49Barely,
15:49he assembled the word guardian.
15:51The instant he placed it on the table,
15:53a bolt of lightning struck straight into the ancestral hall,
15:55shattering the top of one's morning.
15:57Tony screamed,
15:58the lightning had sprung less than the air broke.
16:05He broke down and ran to the waste incineration plant,
16:09desperately searching for the snake's remains.
16:11He turned the place upside down but nothing.
16:14He then searched everywhere for my whereabouts
16:16but still nothing.
16:18After that whipping,
16:19I had vanished into thin air in the ancestral courtyard.
16:22Tony shook his head in disbelief.
16:23He clutched the jar he had smashed with his own hands,
16:26staring at the blackened smoke marks
16:28torn into the ancestral hall's eaves by lightning.
16:30He looked down at his hands and murmured hoarsely,
16:33How is this possible?
16:35Was Holly telling the truth?
16:38Did I really destroy the Brook family's fate
16:41with my own hands?
16:43The next day,
16:44when Tara came to the Brook residence,
16:46all she saw was Tony kneeling in the ancestral courtyard.
16:48In his arms,
16:49he held the jar that had once contained the snake.
16:51She nudged the shattered porcelain at her feet with her shoe.
16:54It was just a pet snake.
16:56Why did you go all the way to the dump
16:58to get this broken jar back?
17:00Tony shook his head.
17:02He had knelt in the rain all night,
17:03so he got a fever.
17:04It's different.
17:06That snake shared its senses with Holly.
17:09When I ordered it cut open,
17:10she felt the same bone-ripping pain.
17:13Tara remained unconcerned.
17:14She crouched in front of him,
17:16pulled his hand,
17:16and pressed it against her chest.
17:18But if you didn't get the gold for me,
17:20my coughing would never have been cured.
17:23Feeling the warmth beneath his palm,
17:25Tony's mind cleared for a brief moment.
17:27He thought Tara was right.
17:29Tara was the one who had saved him back then.
17:31Even if I truly was the guardian,
17:33there was no proof I had been the one who saved his life.
17:36But in the very next second,
17:39Lord Anson's bodyguard stormed in and took Tara down.
17:45Tara struggled desperately,
17:46shaking her head at Tony.
17:47Silently begging him to save her.
17:50Tony was stunned.
17:51There must be some mistake.
17:52Tara didn't trespass into the ancestral hall on purpose.
17:55A bodyguard sneered and slapped a stack of documents in front of him.
17:58Mr. Tony, take a look.
18:01You'll understand why we took her down.
18:03Tony lowered his head and saw photos of Tara with her attending physician.
18:07The bodyguards had already confirmed the truth.
18:09Tara had never been sick.
18:10She had colluded with the doctor to fabricate medical records.
18:13All to make Tony personally order the killing of my snake.
18:15Tony slowly turned his head to stare at Tara.
18:18Tara, seeing that there was no way to hide it anymore, Tara collapsed helplessly to the ground.
18:26I was just jealous.
18:28Jealous that Holly had your love.
18:30That in your heart, I couldn't even compare to that snake.
18:34And you know I'm terrified of such animals.
18:36I had no idea that snake was so important.
18:39Tony grabbed her throat viciously.
18:41If you hadn't claimed you were coughing yourself to death, if you hadn't forced me to touch Holly's snake, how
18:47could I personally take out the gall?
18:51Back then, he had panicked.
18:53He truly believed that if Tara didn't take the gall immediately, she would die.
18:57That was why he wanted my snake's gall.
18:59At that moment, he realized that after extracting the gall, Tara had even ordered the snake to be skinned.
19:07Tony slammed his fists against his own head in regret.
19:10And that's not all.
19:12We also discovered that you used Mr. Tony's identity to do other things.
19:16Running tabs, eating for free, and even engaging in illegal dealings.
19:20The Brooke family's reputation and Mr. Tony's name have been completely ruined by you.
19:24The documents contained joint complaints from multiple establishments, luxury boutiques, high-end restaurants, all records of Tara scamming goods and
19:32meals under Tony's name.
19:33She had even sold unapproved pharmaceuticals in the name of the Brooke family's future heir.
19:37Hearing this, Tara's body trembled.
19:42She scrambled forward, clinging to Tony's pant leg and cow-cowing repeatedly.
19:47Tony, I just wanted to become your wife.
19:49That's why I lost my way.
19:51But don't forget, when you were unconscious all those years ago, I was the one who saved you.
19:57Tony's raised hand froze Medare, then fell weakly.
20:00But before he could speak, the bodyguard flipped the documents to the final page and sneered.
20:06You lied to Mr. Tony for all these years.
20:09Did you really think we didn't preserve the records back then?
20:12Tony's eyes widened instantly.
20:17Tony's eyes widened instantly.
20:19He lowered his head, staring at the images in disbelief.
20:23Before he could process them, the sound of a cane echoed.
20:26Lord Anson stepped forward and handed him another item.
20:29Look carefully.
20:30Back then, you were born with a short-lived fate and fell into quimmer.
20:35It is Holly who break the heaven rules,
20:37who ended you three days of Devon lightning to transfer all her cultitation to new so you could live.
20:43To prevent any after effects, she even climbed steer cliffs to gather herbs.
20:48Personally tasted hundreds of medicines for you.
20:51In total, she lost thousands of years of cultivation.
20:54And you erased all of that just because of a few words from Tara Smith.
20:59Tony frantically flipped open the diary.
21:01The early pages were filled with dense notes, herbs, effects, side effects.
21:05Today's herbs were extremely toxic.
21:07I fell unconscious again.
21:08I can't let Tony see the black lines on my wrist.
21:11Or he'll worry.
21:12Tony took some other medicine today.
21:14Luckily, my blood can detoxify it.
21:16No, I must hide the cut mark.
21:18And I gotta feed it to him while he's unconscious.
21:23Tears streamed down Tony's face.
21:25He vaguely remembered that during moments of clarity,
21:27he had once felt scars on my arm.
21:29But I always brushed it off.
21:30He hadn't asked further.
21:32So it had been my blood, used to detoxify his body.
21:35And that mysterious medicine.
21:36Tony clenched the diary tightly.
21:38His jaw tensed as he shot Tara a murderous glance.
21:41If you hadn't given me random drugs,
21:43Holly wouldn't have had to cut open her arm!
21:45Tara was pinned firmly to the ground.
21:47Don't be fooled by her lies!
21:49How could her blood detoxify anything?
21:52The medicine I gave you was what truly cured you!
21:55Tony flipped several more pages.
21:57There were days when, to test medicine,
21:59I had accidentally ingested poison and fallen unconscious.
22:02During those very days,
22:04Tara had secretly entered his room
22:05and tossed the medicine bottles under the bed.
22:07Unable to survive abroad,
22:08she only remembered him when she heard he was about to wake.
22:11She had kept him in mind, just in case.
22:13I had only seen Tara's silhouette leaving his room.
22:15I hadn't noticed the bottles beneath the bed.
22:18That was how the disaster had been left there.
22:22Tony pressed the diary to his chest
22:24and kicked Tara Smith away coldly.
22:29Throw her into the snake hole.
22:32She must suffer from the pain Holly endured.
22:34And it should be a hundredfold!
22:37If she survived,
22:38all the evidence in the Brooke family's hands
22:40would still be enough to send her to prison
22:42for the rest of her life.
22:43Tara's legs went limp in terror
22:45as she was dragged away.
22:49Tony stumbled back into the ancestral hall.
22:52He pieced together the guardian's tablet once more,
22:55knelt on the prayer mat,
22:56and begged for divine descent.
22:57Lord Anson used to say,
22:59among the Brooke family,
23:00Tony's prayers were always the most effective.
23:03Even for the slightest illness,
23:04once he finished praying,
23:06the miracle would come almost immediately.
23:08But this time,
23:09even after Tony had knelt in the ancestral hall
23:11for an entire night,
23:13no miracle appeared.
23:14Only then did Tony finally understand
23:16I was the one who'd been protecting them.
23:18At dawn,
23:19Tony knelt beside Lord Anson's bed
23:20and knocked his head to the ground three times.
23:23Solomon heavy.
23:24Grandfather,
23:25please tell me where Holly is.
23:27I want to atone for my sins in person.
23:29After I was admitted to the ranks of immortals,
23:32I suddenly heard that someone in the mortal realm
23:34had forged a golden body for me,
23:35opened a shrine,
23:36and offered incense day and night.
23:38By heavenly decree,
23:40I descended to manifest within the shrine
23:42and grant the wishes of the faithful.
23:44But the moment I opened my eyes within the golden body,
23:47the only person I saw was Tony.
23:49He had been kneeling on the prayer mat for a long time.
23:51When he noticed the statue open its eyes,
23:54he crawled forward on his knees,
23:55looking up at me,
23:56tears trembling at the corners of his eyes.
24:02Holly,
24:03I didn't know the snake was your cultivation,
24:05Aachen.
24:05I was deceived by Tara,
24:07that's why I...
24:08I know I've committed unforgivable sins.
24:11I don't dare ask for your forgiveness.
24:14But...
24:14could you give me a chance to see you regularly?
24:17After ascending,
24:18I had already severed all mortal grudges.
24:20No resentment.
24:22No attachment.
24:23Forgiveness was meaningless.
24:26If you have no wish,
24:27don't waste the opportunity meant for others.
24:32Tony shook his head frantically
24:33and carefully pulled a jar from the corner.
24:36The moment he opened it,
24:37a snake shot out.
24:38It moved with eerie familiarity,
24:40clamping onto his chest and biting down viciously.
24:43The snake quickly slithered up the golden body
24:45and coiled around my wrist.
24:46I froze.
24:48Tony hastily bandaged the wound on his chest.
24:51His face was deathly pale.
24:53Snake was raised with my blood.
24:55I keep it in the shrine every day,
24:57letting it share incense with you.
25:05I was afraid that one day you might want to return
25:07but no longer have a physical body.
25:09So here's a snake,
25:11fed by my blood.
25:12Consider it repayment for the life I took from you.
25:15He didn't say it out right,
25:16but his hidden hope was painfully obvious.
25:19I flicked my wrist,
25:20sending the snake away.
25:22Tony Brooke,
25:23back there because of you,
25:25I gave Nist ascension and glowed in vengeance.
25:27But now,
25:28I've never more sins.
25:29I will might have king.
25:31No love,
25:32no regret.
25:33I will love all beings.
25:35But I will not linger for one person.
25:38I waved my hand,
25:39ordering him to leave,
25:40and turned to grant the wishes of the truly faithful.
25:43Tony stared helplessly as the statue shut its eyes.
25:46Ollie,
25:47please don't go!
25:48You're still my wife!
25:50How can you be without love,
25:52without regret?
25:57Blood spilled from the corner of his lips.
25:59His emotions surged violently,
26:02triggering the snake venom.
26:03This time,
26:04it happened too suddenly.
26:06He had forgotten to bring anti-venom.
26:08The last thing he saw was my golden body.
26:11From Medare,
26:11I sighed.
26:12With a flick of my hand,
26:14I delayed the spread of the poison.
26:16No love,
26:17and no regret?
26:19Seems you still can't bear to let Tony Brooke leave the mortal world so soon.
26:29I would make him repay every single strike of the three days of heavenly lightning I once endured.
26:34Soon, divine punishment fell upon the Brooke family.
26:37For the accumulated sins of generations,
26:40heavenly thunder surrounded the Brooke residence for seven days and seven nights.
26:44Skyscrapers that pierced the clouds were reduced to ashes in an instant.
26:47All claimed the Brooke family had angered heaven.
26:50No one dared associate with them again.
26:52The Brooke family's style plummeted until bankruptcy.
26:55Lord Anson was struck by lightning and died on the spot.
26:58And Tony Brooke,
26:59without protection,
27:01had to beg on the streets every day,
27:03cradling the snake he fed with his blood.
27:05Day after day,
27:06the venom flared.
27:07Using his final strength,
27:09trampled and shoved by the crowd,
27:10he crawled into the shrine that enshrined my golden body.
27:13His legs were crushed and broken.
27:15His wrists twisted out of shape.
27:17Blood dripped endlessly from his chest.
27:19Yet when he saw me appear,
27:22Holly,
27:22after I die,
27:24will I see you?
27:26I didn't answer.
27:27I only repeated calmly that he shouldn't say anything if he had no other wishes.
27:31He lowered his head and laughed bitterly.
27:37I promised you,
27:38if I ever let you down,
27:40I'd be shattered to pieces,
27:41die a miserable death.
27:45I suppose this counts as keeping my promise.
27:47His ten fingers were twisted at unnatural angles.
27:50He looked at me with pure devotion.
27:52I have a wish,
27:53Holly.
27:54Don't chase me away.
27:56He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
27:58Before he died,
28:00he spoke his final words.
28:02My wish is this.
28:04May Holly Summers be blessed with eternal peace.
28:07My expression did not change.
28:09After Tony Brooke was carried away,
28:11I continued granting the wishes of other people.
28:14Over the next hundred years,
28:15the legend of how I once protected the Brooke family spread across the world.
28:19All who prayed in my shrine received responses and returned to give me credit.
28:23Incense flourished year after year.
28:25More people were coming for me.
28:27I continued to protect this land from disaster.
28:30I thought I would never see Tony again.
28:32Until one day,
28:34while on duty in the underworld.
28:35Holly.
28:37Tony Brooke is about to be reincarnated.
28:39Before he goes,
28:40he wants to see you one last time.
28:42I don't want to see him.
28:46If this karmic tie isn't severed,
28:49neither of you will know peace for centuries.
28:54She pushed me in front of Tony Brooke.
28:56It was the first time he saw me in this form.
28:59He looked me over with joy,
29:01stepping closer.
29:02I'm here to end our final karmic bond.
29:04Once it's severed,
29:05you will never remember me again.
29:08Tony wanted to say something,
29:10but the joy in his eyes vanished when he met my desireless gaze.
29:13He sighed softly.
29:15If I don't want to forget you,
29:17does that mean that in another life,
29:18we might...
29:19No.
29:22I personally handed him the bowl of forgetting.
29:25He knelt before me,
29:27begging for forgiveness.
29:28He didn't want to forget me.
29:30I merely held the bowl,
29:31my face cold and distant,
29:33looking at him as if he were a stranger.
29:35In the end,
29:36Tony Brooke gave in.
29:37He collapsed to his knees,
29:39lived at the bowl,
29:40and drank the soup in one gulp.
29:41Before his memories faded,
29:43I heard him repeating my name over and over,
29:45as if warning himself not to forget.
29:50At his final breath,
29:52I handed the empty bowl back to the guider.
29:54It's severed.
29:55We'll never see each other again.
