Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost

[Episode 45]

Phoenix killed my father!

Phoenix would never do that!

Phoenix admitted it himself that he was involved,

the dream let out by beast of dream was the proof.

I saw it with my own bare eyes.

Just from a dream?

This dream was Phoenix's dream of reality.

How can you be sure that a dream of reality is real?

What we see is the reality, how could it not be real?

I don't believe it!

Because I only believe in my heart.

Even if the world turns upside down,

Xu Feng would never be a murderer!

Why are you being all sneaky...

dragging me all the way here?

Guess who I saw entering the Qi Wu Palace?

-Who? -Jin Mi.

Jin Mi?

How dare she still step foot into Qi Wu Palace?

When she was unconscious,

His Majesty watched over her day and night,

we never stood a chance back then.

But now that she's awake and free to go anywhere,

I think...

this must be our golden opportunity.

You mean...

His Highness has been blinded by love and killed by this witch!

We're greatly indebted to His Highness.

We'll never live with ourselves...

if we don't take revenge for His Highness.

What are you thinking?

Trick her to Lin Yuan Terrace, then we'll push her down.

No.

The spies of the Heavenly Emperor are all over Heaven,

won't it be too obvious if we do that?

There is another way.

What is it?

First, we find out...

where Jin Mi's internal alchemy is situated in her body.

Then, we pretend to have forgiven her.

Ask her for a drink, for old times' sake.

Then we'll get her drunk.

Stab her right in her internal alchemy.

Blow her soul up into pieces.

Great plan, let's do that.

-Let's go. -Go.

And how do you exactly plan to find out...

where Jin Mi's internal alchemy is?

-Immortal. -Immortal.

If I had known both of you were so eager to die,

I shouldn't have saved you and took you back to House of Marriage.

If you were really to hurt Jin Mi,

Heavenly Emperor would never let you off.

When that happens, even I'll get dragged in.

-But she killed His Highness! -Yeah.

And if you do kill her,

will Xu Feng come back to life?

When I saw her just now,

I wanted to chop her into pieces!

But, then what?

Would I get Xu Feng's life back?

Fatal destiny, fatal destiny indeed.

How could I have been so blind...

to want to match up these two that were doomed to be?

Immortal, we...

Both of you better stay put at House of Marriage.

With the likes of you two, you'll never make Jin Mi budge.

From now on, just live your life peacefully.

Don't cause me any more troubles.

Yes.

What goes around, comes around.

No way.

No way I could've been mistaken.

No way.

I like you.

I... I like you too.

Fish Fairy?

Kuang Lu?

Fish Fairy, let's stay together forever.

Just you and me forever, alright?

Yes.

Never leave my side, Jin Mi.

The Yun Elixir actually broke.

Mi Er.

I'm sorry.

I'd rather you never know what love is than losing you.

Forgive me, please.

-Fish fairy. -Mi Er.

I'm sorry.

Fish Fairy.

I like you.

I like you too.

Fish Fairy.

Let's stay together forever. Just you and me forever, alright?

I know this is just a dream.

But I never want to wake up.

Yun Elixir?

What is that?

Was that really the Yun Elixir?

But why is it in my body?

Why did Fish Fairy lie to me and fix it?

Everything on earth has been arranged,

thank you for your hard work.

Yes.

I'll pay a visit to Jin Mi in Heaven Realm tomorrow.

I wonder, if she is feeling better.

Chief Zhang!

Chief Zhang! Chief Zhang!

The little one... the little one, she...

she's back!

Jin Mi.

You've avenged Water Immortal and Wind Immortal.

You've fulfilled your filial duty.

They would hate to see you feeling down and sad.

You should pull yourself together.

Chief Zhang.

I came...

to ask you something.

What's the matter?

In the name of my parents and Aunt Lin Xiu...

Chief Zhang, please be honest with me.

Where did the Yun Elixir within me come from?

How did you know about that?

I accidentally saw it through a dream from the beast of dream,

I even saw Run Yu restoring my Yun Elixir.

Restore?

It's gone, how did this happen?

It's true.

It really had something to do with the Yun Elixir.

That day, after I killed Xu Feng...

I felt a strong aching in my heart.

As if something inside me was being blown apart.

Phoenix!

At first, I thought...

I had...

I had this feeling because of my overwhelming hatred.

But it seems now, it was because of the Yun Elixir.

But, why do I have Yun Elixir?

The Yun Elixir was put in by the former chief.

My mother?

Former chief was torn by love, she was deeply hurt.

I've only ever loved the Heavenly Emperor,

you should just go and be with Lin Xiu.

So, when you were born,

she fed you the Yun Elixir.

With this elixir, one will be detached from love.

Without love, one will be strong.

Without love, one will be free.

This is the best blessing that I can give to her.

She made you incapable of love.

Hoping you would then be strong and forever happy.

Your mother only wanted what was best for you.

She just never wanted you to repeat her mistake.

Without love, one will be strong.

Why would my mother think that?

We can all tell that, unlike the late Heavenly Emperor,

His Majesty is loyal.

He has always loved you like no other.

He's truly sincere.

You should be grateful and never let him down.

But in my heart,

I feel nothing but guilt for him.

Could it be that you're still thinking of Fire Immortal?

I don't know.

I just can't help thinking about him.

When I think of him, my heart starts to ache.

Every now and then, I feel guilty.

He killed my father.

I feel so sorry to my father.

But...

but I still can't let it go.

When I close my eyes, he's all I see.

I...

Former chief didn't want to see you like this,

that's why she fed you the Yun Elixir.

Now that you've broken the Yun Elixir,

it's inevitable for you to feel this pain.

Stop thinking about what could've have been.

You're now a Water Immortal with great magical prowess.

The new Heavenly Emperor has risen with great fame.

He's well received.

You're about to become the new Heavenly Empress.

From now on,

all will be smooth sailing, and days will be a bliss.

Mother.

Thank you for taking care of me.

But even if you are my mother,

you should've never taken away my right to love.

I was controlled by the Yun Elixir.

There was much I did not know,

I've done many foolish things.

Now that I have broken free of the Yun Elixir,

I have no reason to hide no more.

Get out.

Seeing you in torment,

I am at ease.

You killed my mother,

your son killed my father,

I killed Xu Feng...

only to avenge my father.

Avenge?

What do you have to avenge for?

You killed my son!

That's right.

My boy.

I told you over and over again to stay away from this woman.

But you never listen.

Yet you even questioned me if I had killed Luo Lin.

What did you say?

Did you kill Water Immortal?

What happened to Water Immortal?

Water Immortal and Wind Immortal are dead.

Did you have anything to do with it?

Now that Run Yu has lost his powers.

Even if Run Yu and Jin Mi get married,

it won't affect your place as Heavenly Emperor.

No prison can contain your greed.

Do you think you're doing this for my good?

But you're only making me a heartless man!

No way.

My stupid boy.

I shed my heart out for you,

only to lay plans for you.

All I did was for you.

Yet you...

Yet you trusted this woman.

Tell me, who in this world would love you more than your mother.

If you had listened to me,

you'd never have fallen into this witch's hands.

I wouldn't... I wouldn't kill the wrong person.

Tell me,

if Xu Feng didn't kill my father,

then who did?

I did!

Impossible!

When my father was killed, you were trapped in prison!

You couldn't kill him!

There must have been someone else!

Who was the real murderer?

Tell me!

Listen to me,

you'll never find out for your entire life.

I'll never tell you.

Moon Immortal.

Liao Ting, Fei Xu. Throw her out!

I might have wrongly murdered Phoenix!

Mighty Water Immortal, are you trying to take back what you've done?

You've already wrongly accused someone,

better stop trying to turn things around...

before you wrongly accuse someone else again.

I... I know.

I know you hate me.

I know you all do.

Rest assured.

If I find the truth and if I did really wrongly killed Phoenix,

I'll pay a life with a life.

What will that do?

If...

If I really wrong murdered Phoenix,

I wouldn't want to be alive by myself.

Even if you die,

Xu Feng will never come back to life.

But...

But my Xu Feng, he can't die in vain.

Hurry, the guards will wake up soon.

Mi Er, did you find it?

No.

Then, where did you find it before?

I found it right there before.

Then, then how could it be gone?

No, let's keep searching.

Let's split up.

There's a barrier here.

There's even a seal?

How strange.

Let me help.

How... how...

How could this be?

Beast of dream didn't go to Qi Wu Palace,

yet it came into my room?

How can this be? Impossible.

Jin Mi.

The dream you saw was...

your own dream.

No...

Maybe you were doubting Xu Feng,

so you thought about it in the day, and dreamt about it at night.

That's why you had a dream like that.

That can't be.

It wasn't like this when I last saw it.

This must be fake, this must be fake!

The actuality of a nightmare requires verification.

Whether it was real or not, someone must have messed with this.

Blue colour means dreams of reality.

Blue dreams are real.

I...

when father died,

I never saw him getting killed with my own eyes.

So how can this dream be mine?

If this dream was mine,

it's impossible that I couldn't remember anything.

Impossible.

That's not my dream, it can't be!

Jin Mi.

If someone...

had purposely...

disturbed the dreamland,

it could be possible.

Phoenix.

Have I...

Have I really wronged Phoenix?

I mistakenly murdered him.

Mi Er.

-Immortal. -Immortal.

Immortal.

Immortal.

Immortal, you're finally back.

Where did you go?

His Majesty is very worried about you.

Where is His Majesty now?

He's in the Seven Affairs Palace.

Mi Er, I haven't seen you the whole day.

I was so worried.

Did you just wake up or were you meditating?

While you haven't recovered,

try not to move around so much.

If you must,

then let Kuang Lu go with you.

If she's with you,

I'd be much at ease.

I'm afraid...

I've really wrong accused Xu Feng.

Why did you say so?

After father was murdered,

I saw a dream from the beast of dream.

In that dream,

it showed that Phoenix was killing my father.

At first, I thought that was Phoenix's dream of reality.

But today,

I went to the Pi Xiang Palace with Moon Immortal...

and found the Journal of Dreams with dream records of that day.

Only then, I realised...

beast of dream was never at Qi Wu Palace.

But instead it stayed by my side the whole time.

Your Majesty,

so that dream...

was never Xu Feng's dream,

that was my dream.

But I never actually saw Phoenix killing my father.

If it was a dream created as a result of my suspicions,

then it should be a yellow dream of desire.

But I remember it clearly,

the dream...

the dream that I saw that day was a blue dream of reality.

So...

So...

that dream must have been meddled with.

Changing the dream of desire into a dream of memory.

Mi Er, who do you think did it?

That night, the beast of dream...

was brought there by Your Majesty.

Mi Er.

To investigate the killing of Water Immortal,

I collected thousands of dreams.

Before I could look through each one of them,

they were already sealed by my father.

Yet I really haven't seen the dream you speak of.

The guardian at Pi Xiang Palace...

is in charge of the files in Heaven Realm.

He should know if...

it was a yellow dream of desire or a blue dream of reality.

Very well.

I'll send someone to ask the guardian of Pi Xiang Palace...

and see if he knows.

Your Majesty.

there's a news from Pi Xiang Palace,

the guardian has committed suicide.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Why are you so panic?

I think...

Water Immortal seems a little off today.

So I went and followed her in secret.

Then I found out,

Water Immortal and Moon Immortal sneaked into Pi Xiang Palace.

Seems like the guardian of Pi Xiang Palace will have to go.

"Pi Xiang Palace"

Your Majesty.

Why did he kill himself?

Your Majesty, we've just discovered this suicide note.

In the letter, he confessed he couldn't live with the sin...

knowing he altered dreamland without permission.

Have you compared his handwriting?

Your Majesty, it's been compared.

That's his handwriting.

If he knew he couldn't live the sin,

why go through all the trouble of writing this suicide note.

The words of a man on his deathbed always come from the heart.

Xu Feng conquered all six realms in the past,

it's inevitable if he made enemies.

From what he wrote,

he must've harboured vengeance towards Xu Feng.

I suspect it must be a retaliation,

tampering the colours of the dream beads...

in order to put Xu Feng in danger.

Logically, it makes sense.

He must have seen you searching around today...

and realised he couldn't cover up his trails.

So in fear of sin, he committed suicide.

Then...

what method did he use to change the colour of the dream beads?

I heard, it's written in an ancient scroll of dream sutra...

during prehistoric times.

But this dream sutra is long lost, it's a forbidden book.

I've never seen it either.

Phoenix, I've wronged you. Phoenix.

Mi Er.

Mi Er, are you all right?

I'm finally free.

So, it was...

It was me all along.

So...

So, the man I've always loved...

is Phoenix.

Phoenix.

Sparrow Fairy is here to see you, leader.

Has there been anything unusual with Princess Sui He lately?

She's normal during the day,

but she often goes out in the middle of the night.

Once, I tailed the princess...

and saw her headed to River of Unmindfulness.

-River of Unmindfulness? -Yes.

There must be something going on, keep an eye on her.

Yes, leader.

You suspect that Xu Feng is still alive?

How so?

Your Majesty.

I suspect that before the late Heavenly Emperor died,

he managed to keep a soul of Fire Immortal.

Phoenix.

You're alive.

Old man.

Miss, do you wish to cross the river?

No, not to cross.

I'd like to ask you something.

Are you trying to ask about...

the young man who crossed the river with you back then?

Yes.

I'd like to ask if you've seen his primordial spirit.

The River of Unmindfulness is a nether portal.

Only the souls of the mortal come here.

That young man is a honourable god.

He was born above the 6 realms, he's above the netherworld.

Why would his soul linger here?

Here's something you don't want to hear.

Since Pan Gu created Heaven and Earth,

the 5 elements never got along, like the water and the fire.

Your blade of ice plunged into his fiery alchemy.

The young man's primordial spirit...

would've never stood a chance.

No way, he's the God of Wars.

How could the God of War die?

He's the God of War.

He wouldn't die like that.

Miss, why are you torturing yourself?

Listen to my advice,

the road to love is full of thorns,

it's the road of no return.

Finding the way out is the right way.

Miss, if you keep being obsessed,

you're only hurting yourself and the people around you.

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.

Phoenix.

Phoenix.

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix, turn around and look at me. Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.

I hope these memories never fade.

Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.

I hope these memories never fade.

As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.

A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.

Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.

A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.

Mi Er.

Mi Er!

What happened to your legs?

Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.

The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.

As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.

Mi Er, where have you been?

Xu Feng is alive, isn't he?

Why didn't you tell me?

Mi Er, what did you find?

Look at your legs.

Look at your hands.

What are you doing to yourself?

Are you trying to torment yourself, or is it me?

You'll even sacrifice your own life for him?

Mi Er.

He will never come back.

Let him go.

You still have me, don't you?

You can hear me, right?

Every beat within me is calling you to come back to me.

Fish Fairy.

I'm sorry.

I have only him in my heart.

Demon Lord, she's here.

Come in.

My oh my, it's Princess Sui He.
