"Ashes of Love"

"Episode 33"

Feel free to look around, Mi Er.

Mi Er,

you've just come back from your redemption,

just stay in Luo Xiang Mansion today.

I will let you know if there're updates about Rou Rou.

This room is prepared by your father.

He thought that you should have a room now as you've attained immortality.

I didn't know that you'll come back early.

So I've prepared your room in a haste.

I like it very much, Aunt Lin Xiu.

Thank you.

Thank you, father.

Jin Mi had attained immortality,

her wedding date with the first prince is fixed.

It's double happiness.

But why do you look sullen and unhappy?

Are you...

worried about what happened between Jin Mi...

and the second prince in the mortal Realm?

Yes.

What the second prince did was really rash this time.

Gossips will be inevitable.

But I believe that Jin Mi is a sensible child.

Besides,

she and the first prince were mutually in love.

After a few moments, she will come to know that...

what had happened between both of them in the mortal world...

was just a vague dream.

After she thinks carefully,

she will make the right choice.

I hope so.

Jin Mi still doesn't know that...

the Heavenly Empress is her mother's murderer.

If they stay together,

with Jin Mi's temper,

she will never know how to face it.

It's better to not let her know about this.

Let's see what's her decision.

No way.

It's too much killing.

Your Majesty.

Are you still in love with that fiend?

There's no such thing.

Stop recalling the past, Empress.

But that fiend's hands have reached the Empyrean Heaven.

She instigated the Rat Immortal...

to kill Xu Feng when he was undergoing Nirvana.

After the battle by Dong Ting Lake,

I found out that she had tens of thousands of men under her reign...

in order to overthrow us.

This is frightening.

Su Li was unforgivable,

but exterminating the entire tribe is way too heavy for a punishment.

If so, where will our reputation go?

Don't forget about this, Your Majesty.

The entire dragonfish tribe was perished a few thousand years ago,

Su Li was the only survivor.

Just these thousand years,

she had caused such chaos here.

If you take pity on them...

and spare the lives of Dong Ting,

there will be 30,000 of Su Li.

Don't forget about this too, Your Majesty.

Su Li's biological child...

is here by our side.

If they collaborate from within...

Run Yu grew up under my care since his was a child.

You know his temperament best.

He might be innocent, but his intentions aren't.

Your Majesty should understand,

ambitions can be nurtured.

As long as the conditions are in their favour.

If Your Majesty wants to protect your two sons,

then you should make a decision...

to impede a future disaster.

I should've supported you...

since you're sharing my burden.

But the Heaven Realm has been in peace for so long,

heavy punishments will cause other people's judgement.

Your Majesty doesn't have to do it yourself,

just leave this to me.

I'm just worried that...

doing this...

will tarnish your reputation.

For our two sons...

and for the reputation we've stood for 10,000 years,

I will be the bad guy for once.

I understand.

Xu Feng,

I will impede all future disasters for you.

"In Memory of Immortal Su Li"

Your Highness.

You're just in time.

Summon Li Er and Yan You...

to pray to mother.

They've been captured by the Divine Army.

What?

Heavenly Empress is going to punish 30,000 residents of Dong Ting Lake.

When is it?

Seems that Thunder God and Lightning Goddess have received orders.

Father!

Father!

There are 30,000 lives in Dong Ting Lake.

They are all innocent!

Since my Mo...

Since Su Li had perished,

the Heavenly Empress is going too far.

I beg you, please save them.

I'm willing to be their guarantor.

They will not create havoc in the future.

Heavenly Empress is just going with the Heaven's will.

It's unforgivable that Su Li attempted treason.

She should be punished accordingly.

It's just that it's a heavy massacre.

I can't bear to do it.

The Heavenly Empress intends to do it for me.

I have no reason to reject her offer.

You are my eldest son...

you shouldn't ignore the laws.

- But father... - All right.

Go back.

Thunder God and Lighting Goddess are not on the execution grounds...

but here in the Highest Palace.

Seems that the person that you want to punish...

is actually me.

The 30,000 survivors in Dong Ting Lake...

are to be punished severely.

But who are they working for?

Shouldn't you be punished along with them?

They are innocent lives who can't fight back.

Please spare their lives, mother.

Mother?

Who was the one who said that...

he would kill me and avenge his mother?

The Night Immortal back then was so valiant.

So tyrannical.

What's with today?

You're not so strong-willed anymore.

It's all my fault.

Just punish me instead, mother.

But that 30,000 lives of the Dong Ting water tribe are innocent.

Those 30,000 remnants and your mother...

harbour ill-will and attempt treason.

They want to overthrow Heaven Realm, they deserve to die.

Law does not punish the heart but the actions.

Even if my mother harboured ill-will,

she never rose an army before.

- It was you who... - Shut up!

You harmed Xu Feng, kept a secret army...

and attempt treason.

Your crimes have brought you death!

I should've slayed you then.

Yes.

It's my fault.

Please spare them, Mother.

Night Immortal.

What did you do wrong?

Big brother.

Li Er!

Yan You!

Mother!

Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.

What should we do with Su Li's accomplices?

Based on the laws, they'll be killed by Thunder and Lightning Punishment.

Good.

- Execute them! - Wait!

It's my fault.

I'm defiant.

I've dishonoured you, mother.

But...

But my mother is now dead.

They can't do anything anymore.

I plead for your understanding, mother.

Please let them go.

I really want to see...

if you're really that kind and benevolent...

or it's just an expression.

Su Li is unforgivable for harming Xu Feng.

She deserves to be punished.

Yes or no?

Yes or no?

Yes.

Run Yu, you jerk!

Godmother has been missing you for so many years!

You are really not worthy of being her son!

And are you pleading now as the Night Immortal...

or the representative of those sinful Dong Ting remnants...

or the dragonfish tribe's only orphan?

I...

I...

Godmother had never acknowledged you as her son!

Hurry and leave!

Yan You!

A son should pay for his mother's crimes.

I will repay what my mother did.

Please don't vent your anger on others, mother.

Fine.

I'm a reasonable person.

I have two choices for you.

Either you sever ties with the Dong Ting remnants...

and punish them on your own,

or bear the punishment on behalf of them...

to atone for your mother's sins.

I...

I'm at fault.

I'm willing to exchange my life for another.

Run Yu!

Good.

You know the rules.

I can never betray my mother and my mother's tribe anymore.

I'm willing to bear all the consequences.

Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.

Thunder God, your Heavenly Thunder,

Lightning Goddess's Infinite Lightning,

and also my Lotus Nether Flames,

even Qiong Qi couldn't endure it in the past.

I wonder if the Night Immortal can...

endure this extreme punishment today.

Please punish me, mother.

Fine.

Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.

Execute!

Your Majesty!

This is the Highest Palace.

And His Highness is His Majesty's son...

Do it!

Big brother!

I thought that he's calm...

and different from Xu Feng.

Who knows he's also impatient.

Siblings like broken pieces.

Body like the dead.

Furiously the nether fire burns.

Surging waves of bloody sea.

Sobbing on the tomb.

Away from the empty bones.

Mother!

This is so I heard.

Bow down to summon the Bhagava.

Don't you dare to slack off!

Run Yu!

- Big brother! - Run Yu!

- Wake up! - Wake up, Run Yu!

- Wake up, big brother! - Wake up!

Wake up!

Empress, you're a witch!

I was the one who harmed your son!

Come at me!

She's so ignorant and neglectful.

Big brother!

Your Majesty.

There's no Glass Flame in the Heavenly Thunder and Lightning Punishment.

If you use the Glass Flame,

the Night Immortal will die.

Don't do that!

Then, should I keep the Glass Flame for you two?

What did the Night Immortal do...

to make Your Majesty execute such heavy punishment on him?

Water Immortal,

you've harboured the criminals.

I was merciful enough for letting you off.

Don't go overboard.

What's with murdering the Heavenly Emperor's offspring then?

Run Yu ignored my orders first.

He agreed to take on the blame for 30,000 remnants.

How does that concern me?

Enough!

- Respects to Your Majesty. - Respects to Your Majesty.

Come.

Send out my decree at the Southern Heavenly Gates.

The principal culprit Su Li is unforgivable,

she's been executed.

Water tribe in Dong Ting Lake was threatened by her,

so it's reasonable.

Since it's the first offence,

I'll exclusively pardon everyone.

Hope that you will all start afresh...

and stay loyal to the Heaven Realm.

If the offence is made again, no one will be spared.

Your wish is my command.

Your Majesty is the good guy now.

Night Immortal.

I, on behalf...

of the 36,400 survivors of Dong Ting Lake,

thank Your Majesty's grace.

Will mother please order to release?

Heavenly Empress,

clear up the mess.

The Heavenly Punishment is more torturing than being dismembered.

It's harder to heal too.

If I was you,

I would rather break my own guts...

and end myself once and for all.

Rest assured, mother.

I will not die.

I'll stay alive and healthy...

and see that you...

fulfil your Supreme Immortal Oath...

by releasing everyone...

and no turning back.

Big brother!

- Your Highness! - Run Yu!

He's not going to make it.

Mother...

I'm so cold.

So cold.

Your Highness.

Brother Run Yu.

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

So hot...

So hot...

His Highness once said...

if someone loses too much blood and gets too cold,

one's internal organs will feel like they're burning.

Mother.

Your Majesty.

You've promised to let me handle the matter.

But you've softened up at the last minute.

You are the good guy now.

I have to be the total bad guy.

If you continue to pursue this,

and make everyone angry and mad,

what will it benefit the both of us?

Who is to blame?

You have always been too tolerant of him,

then he returned the favour by inflicting damage to us.

He doesn't even acknowledge me now,

he ran to his evil mother instead.

After fighting by Dong Ting Lake,

he's even protecting the remnants.

If this goes on,

he might overturn the whole Heaven Realm.

He won't be able to do it while I am here.

There are differences in their classes.

Who to protect and who to neglect between Run Yu and Xu Feng,

I have my own mind.

I'll remember Your Majesty's words.

And I hope you'll never forget.

Your Highness.

You're finally awake.

Did she release them?

Don't you care about your own life anymore?

I've promised mother...

to protect Li Er.

There are so many Li Er in Dong Ting Lake.

That Li Er from Li Marsh before...

had stayed under someone else's roof for few thousand years.

I don't want them to make the same mistake again.

Night Immortal, you've put yourself in other peoples' shoes,

it's indeed a blessing for water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.

Immortal.

You're hurt badly.

Hurry and lay down.

Immortal,

I have a small request.

My powers are limited...

and I can't fight the Heavenly Empress.

Please be kind and merciful...

and please take care...

of the homeless water tribe.

Rest assured.

I will do my best.

After what happened at Dong Ting Lake,

I've decided to fight with Heavenly Empress till the end.

Thank you, Immortal.

Kuang Lu.

Immortal.

Please don't tell anyone about my injury,

especially Mi Er.

I don't want her to be worried.

And I hope...

I hope she never sees me...

in such a mess.

Promise me.

Don't grieve for me.

Rou Rou!

Rou Rou! Rou Rou!

Rou Rou!

I will find the culprit...

and avenge you.

Pick an auspicious date after 3 months...

for Jin Mi and Run Yu's wedding.

Keep calm.

Keep calm.

How many time did I teach you?

You've never understood.

Now that you and the Heavenly Empress are on bad terms,

this has put me in a difficult situation.

The Heavenly Empress might have gone overboard,

but she's doing it under my orders.

Rebelling against her means that you rebel against me.

Regarding everything that had happened in the Highest Palace...

just take it as a lesson.

I understand.

I've pardoned all the water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.

Today's matter coincides with our reputation.

The fact that you received Heavenly Thunder and Lightning punishment...

on behalf of the remnants in Dong Ting...

mustn't be mentioned in the future. Understand?

Yes.

Good.

Make a Supreme Immortal Oath.

I swear...

if father and mother never mention about this...

and pursue this,

I'll let this pass...

and never talk about it anymore.

Father.

Is my mother...

Is she really that unforgivable?

This judgement is final.

No use bringing it up again.

As a supreme immortal,

never cling to one thing or emotion.

You have more to learn.

Rest assured...

that your mother's wrongdoings have nothing to do with you.

I've just never thought that...

you would go against the Heavenly Empress.

I know I'm wrong.

I was anxious and didn't think much.

I didn't rush there right away...

because I was testing you.

I never knew that I would earn something from this.

The task to control the Heavenly Empress and the bird tribe...

lies upon you now.

Father.

If I didn't stand up back then,

will you not care about the life of the water tribe?

You're still young.

After living for another ten thousands of years,

then you will understand.

We live long but cultivate longer.

In our eyes,

they are the same as mayflies.

Their life is short and meaningless.

Even if the universe does not have them,

nothing will change.

This is what it meant by the nature's law is merciless.

These million years...

with such long immortality,

have father...

ever felt a sense of empathy?

I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.

The Heavenly Emperor...

is the greatest prisoner...

in the whole universe.

So...

So my birth...

is just a pure conspiracy.

Mother.

I'm the one who made you suffer.

I'm guilty!

I'm guilty!

No.

It's him.

In this world,

he is the culprit...

to all of this.

In your heart,

there's no such thing about kinship or marriage...

or parenthood.

In your heart,

everyone is just a pawn in your hands.

The nature's law is merciless.

Father,

thanks for the guidance.

Stay alive.

What doesn't kill you...

will make you even stronger.

Where's Mi Er?

She was murmuring about Rou Rou just now.

She should be asleep by now.

How's the Night Immortal?

Old hatred and new vengeance. Catastrophes keep emerging.

No ways to complain about a heart filled with grief.

His hatred to the Heavenly Empress seems to be hard to solve.

What happened today had been contained by His Majesty,

but it's being spread around Heaven Realm.

Her Majesty's actions had caused public outrage.

But the Night Immortal...

hid his intentions and won the fight.

I've always thought that Night Immortal is gentle by nature.

Never thought that he's such a brave man.

He sacrificed himself...

and endured everything.

This magnanimity and spirit...

are hard to achieve.

Her Majesty overly exposed herself.

Extremes will meet.

The situation is changing.

Just wait and see.

Yu LAN.

What are you doing?

What happened?

Sister.

I'm at fault.

I've made a huge mistake.

That day, someone from water tribe of Dong Ting came for you...

to discuss alliance with us to fight against the Heaven Realm.

I was convinced and careless...

by trusting the man's words.

So...

I've told him of Jin Mi's parentage.

What?

Yu LAN!

How can you be so silly?

Jin Mi nearly got killed by Immortality Destructing Arrow...

during her time on earth...

was because of me.

I've divulged her identity.

It's all my fault.

I know that I'm in great sin.

I don't beg for your forgiveness, but I should end myself...

to atone my sins to the late Flora Immortal.

If you die like this,

how will you face her?

But if I live,

how will I face everyone?

Forget it.

I understand your intentions.

You wanted to seek revenge for the late Flora Immortal,

hence the mistake.

But Yu LAN,

since the late Flora Immortal didn't want us to avenge her,

she must've known that vengeance has no end.

She had returned to soil.

The only person she cared about was Jin Mi.

Seeing that you're regretful for what you did,

never mention this again...

and pretend it never happened.

Understood.

Promise me.

We have to all stand together...

and remember the late Immortal's last will...

to protect Jin Mi.

Yes, Sister Zhang.

Fairy Jin Mi.

Now I should call you Immortal Jin Mi.

It's nothing.

Are you here for His Highness?

You must've not heard.

The Heavenly Empress executed...

the biological mother whom His Highness just acknowledged...

on the spot for treason.

Ex... executed?

After his mother passed away,

His Highness never eats or sleeps.

Why don't you talk to him?

He always listens to you.

Alright.

Great Immortal.

Mi Er.

I've heard that your biological mother has passed away.

Though I don't know the whole story,

you are such a kind person,

your biological mother...

must be a gentle and kind woman.

When I had just recalled my childhood,

when I had just found my biological mother,

when I had just acknowledged her,

she was killed right in front of my eyes.

And I couldn't do anything about it.

I've just seen with my own eyes...

as Rou Rou perished in front of me...

for protecting me.

And I couldn't do anything, just like you.

I understand how you feel.

Rou Rou had said something before she perished.

She asked me to let go.

There's a phrase in the mortal world,

the dead is gone, the living lives on.

Your mother wouldn't want to see you like this,

you don't sleep nor eat.

She would never want you to give up on yourself.

The dead is gone and the living lives on.

Yes.

I think...

that's because they loved us so much.

So they couldn't bear to see us get hurt.

Love?

Mi Er.

You seem to be different from before.

What's the difference?

I've heard from Kuang Lu,

father had arranged a date for our wedding.

What is your plan?

What is your plan?

If I say no right now,

he will be devastated.

When mother was alive,

I couldn't stay by her side.

Since she's now gone,

I wanted to propose to father...

to mourn her for 3 years.

Mi Er.

Now, you are the most important person to me.

Are you willing to wait for me?

I...

Can you accompany me for a while?

Having you by my side...

is the only time I won't feel hatred and pain.
