[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 48]

It's all because of you...

that I'm re-activating this underground palace.

This is where the previous supreme masters are buried.

Apart from me and your mother, no one alive has ever made it in.

Even the servants who assisted with the funerals and monthly cleaning

had to kill themselves here as a tribute.

It's indeed a diabolic sect.

It was such a perfect plan.

You had it all planned out from the beginning.

From a failed assassination to being captured by Dark River Palace

and then making me think that Yu Zi Han was manipulated by me.

You planned all of it.

Am I right?

Yes.

You were just like a sparrow.

You walked step by step into the trap that we set for you.

You performed so well.

I really thought you lost your memory.

You weren't easy to fool either.

When you first fed me Oblivion, I did forget quite a few things.

When did Oblivion wear off?

You shouldn't have used Xun Yi to test me.

Nor should you have let me see Yin Xue and Zhan Feng.

So you couldn't have hated Yu Zi Han.

Why would I hate him?

He betrayed you.

He would never betray me.

Even if there was evidence, even if he admitted to it

I wouldn't believe you.

You're wrong.

- He did betray you. - Nonsense.

You're scared?

There was a glimmer of hesitation in your eyes just now.

Senior Yu would never betray me.

After you've agreed on this plan to let Yu Zi Han approach me

did he ever tell you what he intended to do?

He loves you. He wants you.

That's why he wavered at the very last moment.

He betrayed you.

You're lying.

Oh? What did I lie about?

Senior Yu put up with all of this.

You're scared that Dark River Palace will get attacked

so you're actually hiding here.

You left in a such a hurry.

It doesn't seem like you've won at all.

This is an underground palace.

Unless you were running for your life

why would you come to such an inauspicious place?

You--

Do you think you can talk to me like that just because you're her daughter?

My mother was too merciful to let you live till this day.

Take her down.

Lock her in the room.

Yes, Supreme Master.

Are they here too?

Where are they now?

Young Mistress, don't worry.

Dark River Palace lost many of its disciples.

There aren't many left to keep an eye on you.

Besides, Anye Luo has three hostages.

He's not worried about what you can do.

What's wrong, Xun Yi?

Why are you crying?

My mother is dead.

Anye Jue?

Xun Yi...

Young Mistress, you don't have to force yourself to console me.

I know she harmed Young Master Yu.

She harmed Jing Lei too.

I know it deep down...

I understand.

Young Mistress, be patient.

I'll go ask about the young masters.

Xun Yi, my condolences.

- Bi'er. - Young Master Ji.

The woods are just ahead of us.

Well? What are the woods like?

It's just like Security Officer Huang described.

Bring those two fugitives here.

Move it!

Take us in there.

No, we can't.

If we take you there

Supreme Master will have our skin peeled and tendons stripped.

You're scared of Anye Luo?

You aren't scared that I'll kill you?

Move it!

Go! Quickly!

Young Master Ji.

Be careful.

Young Master, leave now!

Quickly.

- Bi'er. - It's all right.

Young Master, I'm fine.

Bi'er.

Everyone's fine.

Lie Xiang, are you all right?

If you hadn't held me back, I could have saved one.

What's more important? Your life or theirs?

How can we get in there without them?

- We can think of other ways. - Tell me then!

- Tell me! What ways? - I--

Please calm down first.

I have a way to get us into the woods.

It's so foggy that we can't even see people.

How are we going to get in?

You're not thinking about using people as shields, are you?

Let me finish.

This fog formation can only be understood by a skilled pugilist.

I got through a mystic formation once.

I refused to be misled

so I brought 10 feet of red string to tie onto every tree I passed by.

But in the end, I returned to the same spot.

I was trapped for several days.

The person who laid the formation had to rescue me.

Dear Hall Master Murong, we all know that mystic formations are remarkable.

Just tell us how to decipher it.

The man who laid the formation told me

that no one could leave until the trees were all destroyed.

You're right. We should burn the trees.

Without the trees, the formation will be broken.

No, we thought of burning it down as well

but if the fire rages out of control, we'll get ourselves in trouble.

No, we can't use fire.

Young Master Lei.

Thunderclap Sect specializes in explosives.

Do you have any smaller explosives that can blow the trees down

without causing much fire?

Yes.

Hand them over then.

I don't have them with me. I'll have to get them.

Hurry up!

All the way to Jiangnan?

No, we have them at one of the branches nearby.

I can get them in half a day.

I'll get going then.

Xun Yi.

Come here.

Supreme Master.

How is Young Mistress?

She has gotten very emotional.

She keeps throwing tantrums.

I don't dare to say much to Young Mistress.

She doesn't take after her mother in that aspect.

She's not Ming, after all.

Your mother is dead.

Are you sad?

Your mother remained faithful to Dark River Palace.

I'll be kind to you.

Good child.

Supreme Master.

What is it?

People from Flame Villa are outside the woods.

I didn't go to them, but they've come looking for me.

That's just as well.

Behead Zhan Feng and toss his head out.

That should knock the spirit out of them.

Yes!

What are you doing?

It seems that your Supreme Master wants him dead.

Take me to your Supreme Master.

Young Mistress!

Supreme Master had Young Master Xue brought to the main hall

and he says that he'll kill Young Master Feng!

What?

Yin Xue... Who knew that you'd end up like this?

You almost sacrificed yourself just to help others.

At least that makes me happy.

Have you ever been happy these years?

Even when you're dead, you won't see Anye Ming.

Did you come to see me so you could die?

So you still wish to see her.

Shouldn't you be ashamed to see her?

Zhan Fei Tian killed her!

It was him, not me!

Yin Xue, even your blood is a different shade now.

The poison has seeped into your bones and blood.

You can't be saved!

So what if I can't be?

You'll still have to beg me.

You'll have to beg me to fulfill your wish.

What in the world can't I have

that I'd even need your help?

Anye Ming.

The woman you could never have.

What did you say?

Yin Xue!

Yin Xue!

You can't kill me.

- If you kill me... - Yin Xue!

You can never have Anye Ming.

What did you say?

"What did you say? What did you say?"

Are you that old?

Don't try to deceive me by using her name.

I only spared all of you because of Yu Zi Han's terms.

He can't even fend for himself now, so he won't be able to protect you!

If you think I'm lying to you, you can kill me right now.

She's nothing more than a heap of bones now.

Do you think I'd believe in resurrection?

Her soul is still here.

Where is it?

Doesn't she often appear in your dreams?

Your willpower is too strong.

That's why she hasn't been able to leave, after all these years.

She still exists in your mind.

Then what?

I just need a person and a magnetic field.

It has to be someone very similar to Anye Ming.

It's best they share a close bloodline.

Then I can make that person take over Anye Ming's memory.

She'd be as good as a new body for Anye Ming.

Someone like her.

I once sealed Lie Ru Ge for three years.

I also sealed her memory when she was severely wounded

so she could become the lover I once had 100 years ago.

If I could manage it in the past, I can do the same to help you.

You mean...

You can bring Ming back to life?

No.

I can only make Lie Ru Ge inherit the memories Anye Ming had of you.

How long will it take?

It could take a few months.

Or it could take a few years.

How do I know that you're not just trying to stall for time?

It's just some memories.

If you dare to place your bet, the ultimate price is Anye Ming.

If you don't want any part in it, you can just kill us both!

Our lives are in your hands, aren't they?

I don't believe you...

You said that you sealed the memories of your lover

from 100 years ago in my mind.

So she's the one you love?

Not me.

I'm sorry.

I can die then.

This body is mine anyway.

I won't allow anyone to use it.

- That's your mother! - But I'm also a person!

You can die!

If you do, this man, Zhan Feng, and Yu Zi Han will all die with you.

Think it through!

Ge'er!

Ge'er...

Don't touch me.

Lie Ru Ge!

What exactly did you tell him?

Why wasn't I killed?

Young Master Xue, we've prepared your clothes for you.

I once sealed her for three years.

I also sealed her memory when she was severely wounded

so she could become the lover I had 100 years ago.

Young Master Xue.

You're dismissed.

You only said that to Anye Luo as a contingency plan, right?

I'm sorry.

You've already apologized three times.

Can't you even be honest with me?

I can't die again.

Lie Ru Ge.

That day...

after I saved Yu Zi Han for you

I should've spent 100 years remolding my physical form.

But I broke out of the ice by force ahead of time.

Now, this body is too damaged.

If I die again...

my soul will really disappear this time.

I know you did it to save Senior Yu.

You did it for me.

I won't let you die.

Even if I have to die here, we'll die together.

But I don't want to die.

I want to stay by her side forever.

Her?

The stories I told you when we were at that hut were true.

But you always joke around.

I once strayed from the right path.

She brought me back.

She paid the price... for all the murder I committed.

That's why I returned to the right path again.

She was the love of my life.

So...

So... I'll turn you into Anye Ming.

And I'll leave this place alive.

I'll find someone else to take over her memories.

Then she can be with me forever.

What about me then?

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing to a pocket?

Whatever you need, just place it in.

When you don't need it, you can take it out anytime.

Why would you care about how the pocket feels?

If you don't agree to it, everyone here will die.

Including Zhan Feng.

And Yu Zi Han.

You don't have to think of me.

Just think of yourself.

Think about them too.

Do you really feel sorry for what you did to me?

If you do...

can you protect Senior Yu and Zhan Feng for me?

Can you do your best to protect them under the premise that you won't be hurt?

You won't die.

From now on... I can only live with my mother's memories.

I'm scared that I might forget them.

Then I won't keep them safe.

All right.

You have my word.

Take care.

I wish you two every happiness.

Do you really wish for that?

You and I--

I no longer matter to you.

I'm not the one you love either.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything that you've done for me.

For all that you suffered because of me...

I never got to thank you properly.

Whether or not I'm no more than a body to you...

You wrote the marriage certificate for her.

You pledged your love to her.

But I...

I pledged mine to you.

You've thought it through so quickly?

I'll do it under two conditions.

Sure, I'll agree to it.

You agreed without even asking me what they are!

As long as your mother comes back, I can agree to anything.

First, you can't kill Senior Yu or Zhan Feng.

If one of them dies, I'll kill myself right away.

Their lives mean nothing to me.

I'll agree to it.

Second, take me to Senior Yu.

I think it's best that you don't see him.

Where is he? What did you do to him?

He destroyed years of Dark River Palace's groundwork.

What do you think I'd do to him?

Didn't you just say that you wouldn't kill him?

Exactly. I won't.

Take me to him then.

Not now.

Didn't you just say that you'd agree to all of my terms?

But I have a condition for you too.

Speak.

I'll let you see him in 10 days.

But during these 10 days, you must make sure that he

can prove that your mother can return.

Fine. It's a deal then.

Young Master Xue.

Leave us.

You're dismissed.

Yes.

You should step out too.

What for?

I'm going to take a bath.

Could you leave the room?

You're wrong.

You're just relaxing your skin for your body.

I have to be here to make sure you make the best out of it.

There are over 10 medicinal herbs in there.

They're all good for you.

I always felt like you were lying to me.

Am I that untrustworthy?

Why don't you tell me about her?

She was a pugilist who hated injustice and evil.

When we met, she had just started out in the Pugilist World.

- She hadn't made a name for herself yet. - You told me that already.

I'm afraid I've said this to myself thousands of times in the past century.

I lost count.

You're always so sad when you speak of her.

Indeed.

It feels like my heart is being pierced by a knife.

When we were at the barn

you said that those men she saved from your attack

were the ones who injured her.

Yes.

They didn't just injure her.

They killed her, didn't they?

Yes.

Do you regret it?

Regret what?

Do you regret setting them free in the first place?

If you hadn't, she wouldn't have died.

But if I hadn't spared those men in the first place

how could a righteous pugilist like her

fall for my tricks and fall in love with me?

Forget it, I won't ask any more questions.

Are you jealous?

Lie Ru Ge wants to see you.

If your junior sees you in such a state

I'm afraid that she'll be devastated.

Don't...

Don't bring her here.

Don't.

You should know what your junior is like better than I do.

One of the terms she negotiated with me is seeing you.

The other is to spare your life.

Don't...

Don't bring her here.

Don't.

You've ruined years of Dark River Palace's groundwork.

You've suffered so little for it, and yet you can't take it?

I gave you everything but you didn't want it.

Now you're begging me, but why should I care?

If it was never mine in the first place, I don't want it.

Don't you worry.

Starting tomorrow, you won't even hear your own voice again.

You won't be able to see your beloved anymore.

Don't...

Don't bring her here.

Don't!

Don't!

Don't!

I'm Lie Ru Ge.

I'm not Anye Ming yet.

What are you doing?

I'm so scared...

Why are you grabbing my hair if you're scared?

I'm so scared that I can't sleep at night.

I'm so scared.

But you're sleeping so soundly.

This is so unfair.

How could it be fair?

You've killed so many people! How is that fair?

Of course it is!

This world brings me pain.

So I'll inflict pain upon it!

That would make it fair.

Why are you in pain?

Ming...

You understand.

Why do you avoid me, as if I'm a snake or scorpion?

You can only smile for me.

You can only cry in front of me.

Everything you do must be for me.

Do you think you can escape?

I want you to suffer tens of thousands of times more than I did!

I'm Lie Ru Ge!

I'm not Anye Ming!

I'm so scared.

Ming...

What will I do if you can't be brought back?

Let go of her!

Who said that you could disturb us?

Anye Luo, if you don't want to see Anye Ming again

you can come scare her every night.

Are you saying that she's scared of me?

You should ask yourself if she's scared of you!

You're right.

You're right...

[Anye Ming's memorial tablet]

What are we doing here?

Mentor will kill us if he finds out that we're here.

Why are you scared of that old man?

He's always scolding you.

When I grow up, I'll abolish him.

I'll be the Supreme Master.

You mustn't talk like that.

He's the mentor who raised us.

We're a diabolic sect.

Why should we care about such morals?

When I become Supreme Master, you'll be my wife.

This is where we'll be buried.

Our memorial tablets will be placed there.

You're still young. Don't spout such nonsense.

I want to die with you.

Our memorial tablets will be placed here.

Ming...

I even prepared your memorial tablet.

Why wouldn't you come to me?

If he barges in like that again

just pretend that you're having an out-of-body moment or hold your breath.

He's really worried about whether Anye Ming can return.

So he won't try to do anything to you again.

Did you mistake me for her?

Yes.

When it's quiet at night, we always think of those who have passed.

Indeed.

Although she was a pugilist, she was afraid of the dark.

She was afraid of the dark?

When she was in the room alone

she never dared to put the candles out.

When we were together, we managed to save money on candles.

Of course she wouldn't be scared when she was with you.

I'm tired.

Why are you still here?

Young Master Xue, Young Mistress is--

She's fine.

Bring me some wine.

Go on.

Yes, I'll send someone to bring it to you later.

When I first practiced Dark River Palace's inner force

I was so surprised and joyful.

That there was actually such an amazing force in the Pugilist World.

Yet it originated from a diabolic practice.

Could all the righteous sects be fooling themselves?

They all claim to be righteous and decent.

But none of them were as powerful as Dark River Palace.

Then...

I finally understood.

No one in this world would learn this inner force for no reason.

Most of them were forced into it.

Just like you, you learned it to seek revenge.

As for me...

I did it to forcibly prolong my life.

On the way to the underworld...

who would remember anyone?
