"Ashes of Love"

"Episode 35"

I overheard 2 fairies saying that...

Immortal Wen Yue has decided to call off her engagement...

with Immortal Meng Zhang.

Is that true?

I didn't hear about it.

They are already engaged.

How could she call it off?

Father.

In the Heaven Realm,

is it true that we can't call off...

an engagement once it's fixed?

Are you planning to break off your engagement with the Night Immortal?

Fish fairy's mother has just passed away.

I can't bring this up.

But...

Let's visit your mother together later.

Today, you have to tell me the truth...

in front of your mother.

Did you reject the task of Flora Immortal...

because of Fire Immortal?

Yes, father.

Phoenix and I...

have agreed to be together as lovers.

I know.

When you were going through redemption in mortal world,

both of you had an unforgettable relationship.

But those memories...

are only a drop in the ocean of your life.

No, father.

My lifetime in the mortal world...

might seem like a month in the Heaven Realm,

but it means a lot to me.

While I was in the mortal world,

I was willing to die for Phoenix without regrets.

He was willing to die with me.

I think that was the so-called "love".

Just like you and my mum in the past.

Isn't that the same feeling?

You could give up all of yours just because of her, couldn't you?

Be in love with each other is an easy thing.

But things aren't as easy as you think.

Heavenly Empress...

Her Majesty is a hard one to handle.

When I was in the mortal world,

I had witnessed Her Majesty harmed Night Immortal's mother.

She is so surly.

If you be with Xu Feng, you will have a tough time.

Father.

I understand.

But I'm still going to face it eventually.

Since I had already made my choice,

I will not run from it anymore.

I just don't want you to end up like your mother.

Father.

The past is in the past.

We shouldn't see the past...

as a ruler for everything.

If becoming an immortal means...

I can't protect the person who I want to protect.

I can't fight for the one I want to live with.

I can't be with him,

then what is the meaning of becoming an immortal?

I would rather be a human who lives in the mortal world.

Even though my life is short,

at least I can live as I want,

reveal my most genuine feeling.

Not everything can be solved by your enthusiasm.

But if I don't even have the enthusiasm,

how could I solve these problems?

This matter still needs some further discussion.

Before we find out the best solution,

you must not be too impulsive.

I understand, father.

Help me.

Help me.

Princess.

- Mu Ci. - Help me.

Help me.

Princess.

Did you let him eat the medicine that Demon Doctor gave?

Princess.

He took those medicine just as the doctor said.

But his condition doesn't get better.

- Why would this happen? - Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Sure, I'll give you the medicine.

I'll go get the medicine now. Do you still have any medicine left?

- Take all of them here. - Bring all of them.

Silkworm. Silkworm.

What is he saying?

Heavenly Empress.

Please punish me, Heavenly Empress.

I know I was wrong.

It seems like...

Mi Er has fallen in love with Fire Immortal this time.

She is so childish.

Didn't she like Night Immortal before this?

After went through a redemption, she has grown up,

her heart has changed as well.

Who knows whether her heart will remain the same?

We can't let her follow her heart.

We should put it aside for now.

I think Mi Er has changed this time.

Don't you also wish that...

she can marry a guy that she loved?

Are you worried about Heavenly Empress?

Although Fire Immortal doesn't share the same thought with Her Majesty,

Her Majesty is still his mother after all.

Blood is thicker than water.

How could Her Majesty accept Mi Er?

If Her Majesty wants to hurt Jin Mi in the future,

who will the Fire Immortal choose?

The thing that I'm worried about is...

the situation of Mi Er between Night Immortal and Fire Immortal.

Both of them are strong-willed men.

If they have made a choice, they will fight for it until the end.

Don't you think they're just like the Heavenly Emperor...

when he was young?

Back then, Zi Fen had suffered a lot because of His Majesty.

I can't let Jin Mi...

repeat her mother's mistake.

After this redemption,

I can see the true feelings of Fire Immortal to Mi Er.

He is not the same as his father.

Heavenly Emperor also had true feelings for Zi Fen.

This is a kind of obsession.

Obsession can kill somebody.

Back then, His Majesty didn't get Zi Fen's heart,

so he harmed so many people.

If His Majesty had gotten what he wanted,

would it bring peace to all of us?

"Xuan Ji Palace"

According to Heavenly Empress,

Your Highness has to stay in Xuan Ji Palace to mourn.

You don't have to leave this palace.

You also don't have to go for the night shift.

I'll do as Her Majesty said.

Her Majesty wants to show her solicitude.

Her Majesty ordered us to send you 2 kinds of mourning dresses...

and let you decide which to wear.

Just put them down.

Heavenly Empress said,

you can make the decision for yourself.

You can choose to follow the customs of Heaven Realm or Dragonfish tribe.

Her Majesty ordered me to bring another back to her.

According to the custom of dragonfish tribe,

when one's mourning for his mother,

he should wear the raw linen mourning dress.

I'm sure this is because Her Majesty cares about you.

Raw linen is rough.

Your delicate skin can't handle that kind of linen.

Fine linen will be more suitable for you to wear.

The one who can restrict the power of Heavenly Empress and bird tribe...

would be you.

I have to go back and report to Heavenly Empress.

We shall leave now.

Is this the mourning custom of Heaven Realm?

Throwing the mourning dress anywhere?

Why is big brother so angry?

According to the custom of Heaven Realm,

they have to wear fine linen as their mourning dress.

But, according to the custom of our dragonfish bribe,

we have to wear raw linen as our mourning dress.

Did big brother make the wrong choice then?

I'm too useless.

You shouldn't upbraid yourself.

Filial piety stays in the heart.

Godmother would have been pleased if she knew that...

you are still mourning for her, even though you are suffering...

from Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.

This is not an easy job.

I'm sure she will be happy with what you had done.

This is far from enough.

If I can't fight for her,

how would I get the inner peace?

Why don't you let go of everything,

follow Li Er and I and leave this palace behind?

Okay?

I'm afraid...

leaving all of these behind would be a wild wish now.

What are you going to do in the future?

Don't be aggressive and hold my temper.

Godmother told me this before,

if anything turns bad in the future,

I should pass this to you.

What is in the box?

I have never opened it.

Take a look by yourself.

"Yi Miao Continent"

"Structure of Bird Tribe Army Garrison"

Heavenly Empress.

His Highness had chosen the fine linen mourning dress...

which stands for the custom of Heaven Realm.

- You can leave. - Yes.

Aunt, you are so brilliant.

With a mourning dress, you know which side Night Immortal chooses,

whether he sides Heaven Realm or the dragonfish tribe.

Well, His Highness is also a clever man.

He does not dare to show his unfaithfulness.

He knows what to do.

Don't look down upon him.

While he was little,

he could scrap his dragon scale down ruthlessly.

He also dared to eat the Dream Elixir that I gave him.

While Su Li died, did you see his reaction?

I don't believe he'll give up his revenge.

But he is still a son of His Majesty.

I won't go too far.

A tiny little test is just a warning for him.

Aunt, you are fore-thoughtfulness.

I still need to learn from you.

Today, Moon Immortal will hold a birthday banquet.

Send him this present for me.

Yes.

Immortal, we're here to wish you happy birthday.

Wish you as beatific as the water which flows forever in the East Sea,

as longevous as the pinasters which are never old in the Mount South.

Both of you give me the same wishes every single year.

Are you blind?

I am so youthful,

my features are so good-looking.

Why would you guys compare my face with...

those pinasters which are full of wrinkles?

You are right.

What is this?

Prince is still being grounded.

Today, he has to stay in his palace for self-reflection.

So, he ordered us to send you this present.

You didn't answer my question.

I asked you what this is and you just keep saying nonsense.

Okay, just leave.

Immortal, we'll leave now.

What a great idea.

You managed to find all those treasures for him.

You have over praised me.

I just gave him what he likes.

Those are some popular novels and art books in the mortal world.

I'm sure Moon Immortal would be very happy...

when he sees them.

Did I compliment you?

Now I know you were always loafing around in mortal world.

You always fooled around with your friends,

learned all the nonsense stuff.

If you guys didn't pull my back,

I'm sure I, as a King...

as an immortal...

would have brought peace to the mortal world...

and built my empire there.

I was wrong.

But of course,

after living in the mortal world,

you seem to have become wiser.

Now, that was a compliment.

Immortal.

Jin Mi.

You're here.

Immortal, you've gotten the wrong person again.

I'm not Immortal Jin Mi.

Little dewdrop.

Are you here to see me?

Why is your nose bleeding?

Because my body is too heaty.

Come, follow me.

Xu Feng gave me a lot of novels.

Since they are still fresh and new, let us read them together.

No.

I come here for something else.

His Highness Night Immortal can't go out as he is mourning,

so he sent me here to wish you happy birthday.

Wish you are always as young as today, your youth stays with you forever.

Little dewdrop, you are so clever.

This is such a nice present.

So bright.

With this thing,

I can read the novels which Xu Feng gave me in the dark.

So nice.

Run Yu, such a pity child.

Please help me to thank him...

and also comfort him.

I'll tell him.

Thanks, Immortal.

Oh, yeah.

Since Run Yu can't come to my birthday banquet,

why don't you come?

We can drink wine and play together.

My immortality ranking is low,

I'm afraid that...

Water Immortal will bring Jin Mi here.

You can ask your father to bring you here.

If not,

my birthday banquet will be empty.

I'm not happy.

It would be disrespectful for me to decline then.

Thank you, Immortal.

Good girl, little dewdrop.

I shall take my leave then.

Go ahead.

Wind Immortal, Water Immortal,

and Immortal Jin Mi are here.

So nice.

Water Immortal, Jin Mi.

Come here.

Today is my birthday banquet, just eat and drink as you want.

Don't be shy, come.

Don't just stand there, get some food and drinks.

Do you know what kind of gift I've prepared for you?

- What's that? - A knick-knack from Human Immortal.

Try it.

It's so bright. So bright!

Everything I see is so bright now.

- Do you like it? - So great.

With this treasure, I can read 100 novels in a day.

Jin Mi.

Now only I know,

you are much prettier than I thought.

Princess Sui He is here.

Immortal Yuanji is here.

Immortal, I'm here on behalf of Heavenly Empress...

Okay, good girl. Have a seat.

Yuanji. Yuanji!

Okay. Okay. I don't want to eat anymore.

Yuanji, you are really generous.

You come here to eat without giving me any present.

In the past few days, I was still wondering,

after the Leifeng Pagoda had collapsed,

how should I extend the second life of that white snake.

I wanted to turn her into a fruit fairy in Floral Realm.

And then, you'll decide on her fate and marriage.

But, it seems like I shouldn't give you this as a present now.

Yuanji, I knew you haven't forgotten about my present.

This birthday present is just so amazing.

It's amazing!

Come. Let's have some wine. Let's go.

- You'd better eat this. - Thanks, father.

Thanks, father.

I still think it's extraordinary.

Yes. Sure it is.

Jin Mi.

We still need to discuss about it.

- By that time... - Father.

Go ahead.

Besides me,

do you like Xu Feng as well?

Yes, I do.

Then how about Moon Immortal?

I like him too.

How about Yan You?

I like him too.

If Jin Mi is a land with infertile land,

no matter what crops or fertilizer you use,

how much water you pour,

she still won't bloom any flower for you as a return.

Being in a relationship with her would be like talking to a brick wall,

you won't get any response from her.

You'll be only wasting your time and energy,

will you be afraid to face that?

Jin Mi is a kind person.

It's just that she was born as a cold-hearted person.

No one can attract her attention,

not to mention to win her heart.

She used to be a cold-hearted person,

she is emotional, but she doesn't love.

Now, she is less emotional but loyal.

How could a person change so much?

I took Dream Elixir...

and I forgot everything about my mother and childhood.

Could it be that Mi Er is also being controlled just like me?

Mi Er.

Which one is the real you?

Yun Elixir?

Heavenly Emperor is here.

- Welcome, Your Majesty. - Welcome, Your Majesty.

- Welcome, Your Majesty. - Welcome, Your Majesty.

Don't have to be restrained.

Today is Moon Immortal's birthday banquet.

Be comfortable.

Your Majesty has to attend to numerous affairs every day.

Why would Your Majesty have time to come here?

Brother, are you blaming me for attending without any invitation?

Or are you angry that I haven't come here for a long time?

Of course not.

The arrival of Your Majesty brings glory to my place.

Your guests are mostly our people.

This place looks empty with small group of guests.

My luck is not good enough.

While I hold my birthday banquet,

the first prince is in mourning...

and second prince is still being grounded.

Are you asking me to let them come here?

Don't count on both of them.

Let's us have our own fun.

Now that Immortal Taisi is here too.

Usually, you'll come out with many strange and new rhetorics.

Why don't you show us something to bring us joy?

Of course, Your Majesty.

I just happened to learn something new in mortal world.

Let me perform it to Your Majesty and all the guests to liven things up.

Just to liven things up.

- Please. - We'll enjoy it.

Have you not seen Xu Qing's two sons, born utterly remarkable?

The duo came one after another following an auspicious dream.

Confucius and the Buddha personally brought them in their arms,

both are extraordinary children from Heaven.

The 9 years old elder son has clear-cut complexion.

He exudes an air of loftiness with distinguished physique.

The 5 years old younger son exhibits an imposing presence.

The guests that fill the hall would all turn their heads.

I know Master Xu has nothing to worry about.

For his copious philanthropic deeds,

his offspring are innately future lords.

When a man has two children like these,

how could his fame and position end up small or low?

Nice.

Your Majesty.

When I first heard this story in mortal world,

it reminds me of the heroic postures of Your Majesty and our princes.

So I performed this rhetoric for Your Majesty.

Brown-noser.

Lower your voices.

I thought I was using the sound transmission skill.

Everyone here knows this skill. What if someone caught your thought?

Dan Zhu.

What are you guys saying?

Hit the drum and grab the flowers.

Does anyone want to play this game?

Time flies in no time.

We are already old,

while the young ones have grown up.

Some of them are going to get married now.

This is such a nice thing.

It's a pity that Floral Immortal can't share this happiness with us.

Even though she has passed away, the remembrance still stays.

Your Majesty is affectionate and has done many good deeds,

you've protected others.

Your princes are incredibly excellent.

This is Your Majesty virtue and Heaven Realm's fortune.

You act much better than Taisi as a brown-noser.

I want to do all the brown-nosing,

and see what else they can do.

My sons are all grown up,

but still they're worrying me.

Water Immortal,

Immortal Taisi,

both of you have the good fortunes to have such sweet daughters.

Kuang Lu, stand up.

Come. Stand up.

Come, follow me.

Come.

Your Majesty.

I didn't have much fortune, so I just have one daughter.

Kuang Lu, pay a formal greeting to His Majesty.

All hail, Your Majesty.

Stand up.

You are just like a dewsdrop.

Clear like water, while growing up to be graceful.

Are you the same age as Jin Mi and Sui He?

Your Majesty.

I'd like to ask you for a favor.

My daughter is too honest.

She's too docile.

I hope Your Majesty can decide for her...

choose a good marriage for her in the future.

I didn't see this coming.

He knows His Majesty takes pity on the weak and old ones.

He brings his family members to get close with His Majesty.

I have to admit defeat.

The first prince is already engaged with your daughter, Jin Mi.

According to this situation,

the second prince is going to be engaged soon.

Well, he does have other things in his mind.

Father.

I'm not drunk.

My father is drunk.

Your Majesty, please forgive him for talking nonsense.

Taisi.

Well, you old man are really drunk.

You should come to me for match-making.

Why would you go to His Majesty?

You are not in charge of the immortals' marriage,

why should he go to you?

It is not a mistake for parents to worry about their children.

Today, let's drink wine and have fun.

Forget about those taboos.

Father.

- Father, you're drunk. - No, I'm not.

Each of them has their super father,

everyone has good father-daughter relationship.

Father, eat more.

Father, when you were young, you were the most handsome man in Huai Wu.

No matter when, in my heart,

you're the best father in the world.

You have inspiring looks and graceful bearing.

You are so intelligent and lovely.

That lucky guy who will marry you in the future...

will make me die out of jealousy.

But unfortunately, compare to Xu Feng...

you're just...

a tiny mortal.

I'm not feeling so well.

Please allow me to leave first.

Sui Er,

why are you obsessed with a man who doesn't care even care about you?

If he really cares about you,

he would have married you long ago.

I killed my father with my own hands.

I killed the only person who cared about me...

and loved me the most in mortal world,

but I still can't win Xu Feng's heart.

Xu Feng.

I hate you.

Jin Mi.

I hate you.

You're back.

Does Moon Immortal like the smokey green partition?

You should visit him more often.

Do you hear me?

Both of you can leave now.

- Yes. - Yes.

Aunt.

No matter in Heaven Realm or the mortal world.

As long as Jin Mi is there,

everyone will like her.

Is it true that I will never be better than her?

Will His Highness ever change his heart?

Shut up.

Look at you, looking so dejected.

How could you be the leader of the bird tribe?

What can I do?

Even if I die now, His Highness won't even care.

Stand up.

Listen to me.

Our tribe has the noble blood.

We won't be defeated by others so easily.

The more you can endure,

the more you'll get.

This is not the end yet.

We don't know who is the winner yet, am I right?

Okay. Enough. Stop crying.

I just heard the grievous news about you mother a few days ago.

It really caused my indignation.

My condolences to you, Your Highness.

Now, Jin Mi and I share the anger against the same enemy.

Chief Zhang,

I have a question.

I hope you can guide me.

Please go on.

Compared to others, Mi Er seems to have different reaction to love.

Why would you say that?

I remember you said that,

Jin Mi has fewer feelings of love compared to others.

But there seem to be some unrevealed secrets.

While I was studying at the Sheng Jing Court,

I accidentally found out that it could be related to Yun elixir.

If she can live genuinely and happily,

that'd be a good thing.

But according to my initial intention,

I'd rather take the Yun elixir out for her.

Nobody should take away her rights to love.

If it's true,

are you sure you can protect Jin Mi from getting hurt?

Former chief knew that Jin Mi will have to go through...

a love trial within these 10,000 years.

If you take it out, how can you protect her?

Your Highness, did you tell Jin Mi about Yun elixir?

No.

If she knows about this,

I don't know what will happen.

Chief Zhang, don't worry.

As I said,

no matter what happened,

I'll make sure of Jin Mi's safety.

About that night,

I knew it was my fault to offend you.

We're accomplices.

I also had my responsibilities.

You're now my people.

Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

How did you learn to behave like this?

Well, don't you know about it?

My husband in the past life was a bandit named Crow.

I was the wife of the head of bandits.

Well, you'll be the wife of Fire Immortal in the future.

I... I told my father about this.

What did Water Immortal say?

He didn't turn down my will.

But there is something that's worrying him.

He asked me to think carefully about it.

I think I know his concern.

Don't worry.

I'll solve it as soon as possible.

I made something for you.

It's just a little gift.

What is this?

You really are a stupid bird.

This is Flowery Spring and Fruity Autumn.

Put it on your chest,

use your magical prowess to activate it.

Then, you'll see a beautiful scene of Flowery Spring and Fruity Autumn.

Spring in the morning, autumn in the evening.

It can last for one day.

Do you know where does this beautiful scene come from?

Where?

I'll tell you secretly.

I stole it from Floral Realm.

Chief Zhang will startle for sure when she finds out.

Can't be eaten and can't be beaten.

It's kind of useless.

You're right.

Well then.

I'll take it back and turn it into a weapon.

Why are there only Flowery Spring and Fruity Autumn?

I'm still thinking of...

having your Hot Summer and Cold Winter.

You're painting the lily.

You're Fire Immortal,

which stands for the burning sun of hot summer.

While I am the frozen snow of cold winter.

Then, we can have all 4 seasons.

When has my stupid grape become such a clever girl?

Okay.

I put it inside one of my soul,

I'll make sure it is safe with me.

Well, I have...

I have to leave then.

Goodie, are you waiting for me?

Where are you going?

Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Okay. I understand.

I'll go inside.

Fish fairy.

What happened, Fish Fairy?

While I was little,

I stayed in the Tai Lake,

living with my inferiority feelings,

because of my hideous posture and pale skins.

Back then,

I practised hard every day and night,

just to become a carp.

After I came to the Heaven Realm, I just realized...

the things I had been kept practising in the past thousands of years...

are nothing but only a waste of energy.

Actually, I'm not a carp at all.

I'm just a white dragon who wants to be a fish.

Now I think I had narrow views.

Look at me.

I had been practising to be a fruit fairy in the past 4,000 years.

I thought I was a fruit fairy.

But who knows,

I am a frost flower which is made of water.

So, we're both the same.

We're just the same.

Actually,

being a person with narrow views...

is not a bad thing at all.

Sometimes,

when you know more about it,

you'll be more suffering because of it.

Fish fairy.

Are you thinking about your biological mother?

In the night before yesterday, night-blooming cereus bloomed.

But unfortunately, you weren't there.

Flower blooms without anyone by its side.

Loneliness smells good, but nobody knows.

I'm afraid this would be the greatest sadness for a flower.

Why would it be so lonely?

Since I've given it to you as a gift,

that means you're its owner now.

You're here,

then the flower didn't bloom for nothing.

Am I the real owner of this flower?

Never wished to get into dispute,

but things never go my way.

The flower in my heart has wilted,

and I can never turn back time.

How I wish I could wash away the vanity,

wipe away all the dirt.

I'd have another drink with you,

and talk until I'm drunk with you.

In the past thousand years,

I had only shown my true form twice,

but you saw me twice.

Such a laughing stock.

I don't ask for much in this lifetime.

I just want to ask you to love me a little bit more...

day by day, month by month,

year by year,

for this entire life.

I don't care if you love me just a little bit,

but I wish you can love me for a long time.

Can you?

It's late now.

I better go home.
