Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost

[Episode 50]

I'm just like you...

I have nowhere to call home.

Your Highness.

You're wrong.

When I was spying on the late Water Immortal...

as ordered by the Heavenly Empress...

I overheard him making a comment out of personal feeling.

When I think back, I think it makes sense.

What is it?

Home is...

where the heart is.

Home is...

where the heart is.

Your Highness, you may not be aware,

many years ago,

I lost my parents.

I lost my tribe.

I lost my homeland.

For a period of countless dawns,

I couldn't find the courage to face the rising sun.

Back then, the only thing that kept me going was hatred.

But later,

after countless of sleepless nights,

it slowly dawned on me...

that my parents and tribesmen didn't sacrifice their lives to protect me...

just so I could wallow in hatred, but for me to live a better life.

Because, I was their only hope.

A man represents what his tribe stands for.

I had to keep living.

That is why,

what kept me alive to this day is hope.

Stay right there.

Where are you going?

What does it have to do with you?

Why must I tell you?

You're always sneaking around.

Who knows if you're planning anything to hurt Xu Feng.

Liu Ying, don't be too hard on her.

She won't hurt me.

I'll go get some herbs for you.

Thank you.

Though she has taken good care of you,

she really has a talent of getting on my nerves.

Enough.

When I died and lost my powers,

and now that everyone has turned their back on me,

both of you and Sui He stay by my side,

allowing me to come back alive.

Doesn't matter if she has bad intentions,

whatever it is, I owe it to her.

Xu Feng,

from now on, just treat Mu Ci, my father and I as your family.

Thank you, all of you.

Let's sit and talk.

Xu Feng, how are you feeling?

I'm good.

What do you mean?

Do you mean your prowess or appetite have increased?

That's all you think about.

Always just eating and fighting.

Can't you focus on something else?

Why bother thinking so much?

Whether it's being a demon or immortal,

what matters most is happiness.

Well said.

Xu Feng, you've escaped death, your life must be blessed.

Here, this should levitate your magical prowess.

Vermilion bird egg?

You little devil,

your body is of a cold nature, made for waters.

Yet you overestimate yourself and swallowed my vermilion bird egg.

I'm a grape! I was born in the ground!

Not water!

I thought vermilion was from the hog family!

I didn't know it was related to fire!

Stop talking already, you're making me dizzy.

For a mere 300 years worth of magical prowess,

you almost got yourself killed.

How dumb.

You gave me that vermilion...

when we celebrated Heavenly Empress's birthday.

Thank you.

Xu Feng, what's the matter?

Xu Feng is fine.

But he just recovered,

so he still needs more rest.

Always remember, take it slow when you train.

Don't worry.

I've already died once,

so to me, this life is not easy to come by.

If I were to take it for granted,

I'd be ungrateful to you all for saving me.

Run Yu is so heartless.

We should respect the deceased, but he was so ruthless.

Xu Feng sure is pitiful.

Frankly, I think this might actually be a good thing to Xu Feng.

Finding one's true self to face the past.

To see everything as it is,

only then, one can be reborn.

How did you and Xu Feng end up chatting?

I'm the one who's close to him.

What did you guys talk about?

Nothing much.

Just some guy talk.

Which is?

If I tell a woman about guy talk,

then it's not guy talk anymore, now is it?

If you're bored, you can maybe go chat with Princess Sui He.

Her? Are you out of your mind?

We barely agree on anything. I'd rather find you.

Mu Ci.

What happened to your hair?

My hair?

Mu Ci, do you know?

I've always fancied a mature man.

Good thing you've got white hair.

Now you don't look like a spoiled brat.

Princess, don't try to comfort me.

I'm not. This is just what I like.

The fact is,

deep down I know that...

I only will keep getting older.

In no time...

I will be just like a mortal.

I'll age, fall sick, and die.

Also,

even gradually start to forget you.

If that happens, will you still like me then?

The cicada lives for 7 days.

The mayfly flies at dawn and dies at dusk.

Yet they live their lives happily.

We have 10 years to live.

Compared to them, we are truly blessed.

Mu Ci, remember.

Whatever happens to you,

we'll face it together.

Okay?

Okay.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I beg you,

please let Xu Feng go.

Get up first.

I won't.

If you don't promise me, I won't get up.

I beg you.

Must you do this?

I beg you.

Let Xu Feng go.

Fine.

I promise you.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Mi Er, Mi Er!

Mi Er!

Mi Er!

Your Majesty.

You call me here in the dead of night, how may I assist you?

Inform the six realms,

Fire Immortal, Xu Feng has infiltrated Palace of Ancient Sages,

disrespected the Heavenly Emperor,

violated the laws of Heaven.

Capture him.

Revoke his immortality immediately.

Never will he enter Heaven Realm again.

But...

Yes, Your Majesty.

Kuang Lu!

Kuang Lu!

What's this?

Who set up this barrier?

Immortal.

His Majesty is very worried about you,

so he prevents you from running into dangers outside.

Immortal, as you're recuperating,

it's best to rest at Xuan Ji Palace.

His Majesty has done so much for you,

sacrificed so much for you.

Immortal, please understand that His Majesty means well.

Kuang Lu.

Let me out!

Beauty.

I was drawing a portrait of a beauty at home.

I've no idea who had so much anger...

and forcefully dragged me here.

What about you, why are you standing there?

Watch out!

There's a barrier here.

This must be cast by Run Yu, right?

-Has he lost his mind? -Can you break it?

My oh my.

What did you do to piss him off?

You made him use so much magical prowess to cast such a solid barrier.

Enough with the sarcasm.

I'm asking you, can you break the spell?

But I'll think of something for you.

Oh right,

rumour has it, Xu Feng has resurrected in the Demon Realm.

Was that you?

I knew it right away.

Only you'd do something like that.

No wonder. Run Yu must have gone through the roof.

He has informed the six realms to...

revoke Xu Feng's immortality permanently,

never allow him to enter the Heaven Realm again.

So this was what he meant,

when he said he would let him go.

He's no longer the aloof Night Immortal.

Seeing his own mother...

being brutally murdered in the hands of the Heavenly Empress.

To him, there lies a vengeance for Xu Feng's mother.

You should try and understand him.

Sometimes I look back,

I really do miss the times...

of the first 100 years when first came here.

It's my first time coming to Heaven!

I've got to get a real good look at this beautiful place!

I'm no witch.

I'm a good old grape fairy.

-Take this... -Oh right, I got it.

I'll get rid of it, right away!

How could you use this book to wedge the table?

No sleep for you tonight.

Work on your shape-shifting, I want results in the morning.

Fairchild, where are you from?

I'm no fairchild.

Just a mere half-immortal.

Half-immortal?

Only this little devil can shape her own immortality rank.

Back then,

there was nothing like vengeance between parents, or love and hate.

I was just in Qi Wu Palace,

being a little reading assistant,

grinding ink for Phoenix.

If you go now, who's going to make tea and grind ink for me?

A reading assistant should act like one.

These rice dumplings from mortal world taste awful!

My flower cakes taste 100 times better than them.

Melts in the mouth and no indigestion. Isn't that great?

Yes.

Making magical rice dumplings.

Planting flowers and plants.

Training hard without a worry in the world.

Being a fruit fairy proudly.

I still remember,

the Phoenix back then,

was a Phoenix that was still proud, arrogant and full of life.

There's nothing in this world, that can frighten the mighty Xu Feng.

And Fish Fairy was still a gentle and kind fish fairy.

You can call me, Run Yu.

How shall I call you, fairy?

The name's Jin Mi.

Here, have this red string.

I hope you'll find someone to spend your days with.

Thank you, Fairy Jin Mi.

What good times those were.

Too bad I can't turn back time.

Now...

Now, even the phoenix tree is dead.

If you had another Yun Elixir now, would you take it?

It was all because of the Yun Elixir that everything is how it is now.

I never regretted the days I spent with Phoenix.

But...

it's all my fault.

-It's me... -I'll hear no more!

Why are you leaving?

Who'd want to hear your sob story with that burnt crow?

I'm off to get someone to tear down this lightning cage.

I'm off.

Thank you, Pu Chi.

What's going on?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you okay? Your Highness.

Maybe I was too aggressive.

That's why I'm feeling a little unusual.

No big deal. Don't worry.

Oh right,

today at the demon market, I saw a mandate from Heaven Realm.

What mandate?

They've revoked your status as a god and kicked you out of Heaven Realm.

Run Yu...

Run Yu is trying to get rid of you.

Move!

-No entry! -Do you know who I am?

Get out of my way!

-No one's allowed to enter! -Run Yu!

Run Yu.

Explain to me...

why are you revoking Xu Feng's immortality?

You've already become the Heavenly Emperor.

Why can't you just be benevolent and let him go?

He is your own brother,

you've already killed him once.

Xu Feng has so much pride.

If you revoke his immortality,

that'd be more cruel than just killing him.

How could you bear to do this?

Immortal, this is no place for you to speak.

Shut up.

Immortal,

it was Xu Feng who infiltrated Palace of Ancient Sages...

and even tried to hurt His Majesty.

You forced him to.

Xu Feng was just returning to give respects to his parents.

How can you hold him back?

Xu Feng held a sword to His Majesty.

If Immortal Jin Mi did not come forth and stop him,

His Majesty might have been...

Jin Mi?

Her again?

Did she help you to attack Xu Feng again?

That's right. She helped me to attack Xu Feng.

There's no hope between them.

Uncle, you should give it up.

You can't treat him like that!

Xu Feng.

He has never done anything sorry to you.

-Guards. -Here!

Nobody can touch me!

-Take him away. -Yes!

Run Yu! Your Majesty, Run Yu!

Run Yu!

The demons in the Demon Realm are all out to get him.

If you don't let him back in Heaven,

you'll force him to a dead end!

Run Yu!

He's your own brother!

My Lord, you have a guest.

Where from?

King of Biancheng.

Your Highness.

I'm sure you've heard of...

the mandate from Heaven Realm.

It's God's will for me to be reborn through nirvana.

I will not let this opportunity go in vain.

I will atone for my parents' crimes.

Yet Run Yu keeps provoking my hatred and vengeance I have for him...

for killing my parents,

I will never forget it.

I will make him pay all the price.

Your Highness, what is your plan?

Now,

I'm no longer a god, neither a fairy nor human.

In this big world,

there's no longer a place for me to be.

I've decided to become a demon.

To come head to head with Run Yu.

It's my pleasure to lend you a helping hand, Your Highness.

We now need a well-thought-out plan to take down King of Gucheng.

I have placed a special soldier just for this day to come.

We've caught Li Chuan.

But he just died in prison from Jiang Zhu Grass poisoning.

-My Lord. -Li Chuan?

No, wait, you're not Li Chuan.

You have a sharp eye, Your Highness. He is Li Chuan's twin brother,

Mo Qi.

For our plan to succeed,

we need 1 more key person.

Princess, do you recognize this?

Where did you get this seal from?

When I went down to earth with His Highness for redemption,

I met a strange man by chance and offered help.

He gave me this seal.

The strange man told me this seal can grant me a wish.

It wasn't a big deal to help.

I wasn't expecting anything in return.

Plus, I don't have anything I truly want to wish for.

Princess, why don't you take this back to earth.

Maybe you might find his owner.

It'd be good to return it to the owner.

Or perhaps, Princess, you can go to him for help.

I'm sure it'd be more use than me keeping it.

Liao Yuan, you had been a loyal man.

You did a good deed,

now it benefits Xu Feng.

It's also a comfort for your spirit in Heaven.

Li Chuan?

You're still alive?

I escaped.

Since you managed to stay alive,

why come back?

I live like a dead man.

I don't understand.

I've only ever been obsessed with herbs and never interfered anything.

Why did you try to kill me? Why?

You have gone mad.

Xu Feng found out about your Jiang Zhu Grass.

If you don't die,

do you want him to keep snooping and trace it back to me?

If it were not for your Qiong Qi plague needle,

how would I plant Jiang Zhu Grass?

You'd rather shift the responsibility and let me die?

So what if that's true?

You killed King of Yancheng.

Speaking of which,

I really ought to thank you.

If it were not for your Jiang Zhu Grass,

I would never have got rid of the old Demon Lord.

How dare you kill the Demon Lord for the sake of the throne!

And even push the blame to someone else!

Very well.

Now you know it all.

Do you know that the one who knows most, dies the fastest?

Now you won't even have the chance to live an undignified life.

Hold it!

Xu Feng?

You've really come back to life.

Mo Qi, thank you for helping me.

It's only my duty.

You two...

You just admitted yourself that you killed King of Yancheng.

What more do you have to say?

That's right.

I did murder King of Yancheng.

So what?

I am now the new Demon Lord.

You can't touch me.

I may not be able to touch you.

But there's definitely someone who can in Demon Realm.

Great Elder.

In the Demon Realm,

what's the punishment for...

murdering the Demon Lord and endangering our king?

Crucify the bones, dump into the River of Unmindfulness.

In that case, we'll do as you said.

Great Elder.

With the power vested in me, I, the Great Elder...

represent all 12 kingdoms to demote you as Demon Lord!

You...

Xu Feng.

I've fallen into your trap.

King of Qingcheng,

please take the charge.

Thank you, Fire Immortal for saving Demon Realm.

I'll take it from here now.

He still escaped.

Never mind.

He's badly hurt, he can't go far.

Moon Immortal.

Where's Moon Immortal?

He has gone down to mortal world.

To the mortal world?

Long live the Great Elder!

A while back,

some changes had happened to the Demon Realm.

I'm sure you're all well aware.

Today...

the rebellion is overturned, the traitor has retreated.

However, the throne of Demon Lord is left vacant.

I call forth all of you here today to elect a new Demon Lord.

I'd like to nominate King of Biancheng as new Demon Lord.

What is your opinion?

King of Biancheng seems good.

King of Biancheng handles big duties well.

Great Elder.

King of Yancheng has passed, King of Gucheng has fled.

I may be 1 of the 3 kings,

well suited to take the throne as Demon Lord.

But I am no longer young,

I'm afraid I may not have the strength for it.

I'd like to nominate someone to uphold this grand duty.

And who would that be?

The former Fire Immortal of Heaven Realm,

Xu Feng.

Fire Immortal is not our kindred.

How can he be the Demon Lord?

If the Great Elder gives his blood, wouldn't he be one of us?

I'd say yes.

We've tried many times to attack the River of Unmindfulness.

Each time we get wiped out by the Fire Immortal and his men.

If he becomes our lord,

he'll make Demon Realm stronger than ever.

If we do that, won't we have sinned the Heaven Realm?

Demon Realm keeps going through successive changes,

if Heaven Realm attacks now,

I fear we might not be able to stand it.

We have the blazing God of Wars, why fear?

Demon Realm and Heaven Realm never interfere with each other's affairs.

There's no such thing as sinning against them.

Fire Immortal, Xu Feng...

has helped us many times to keep peace here,

Demon Realm is indebted to him.

He has also saved my life, I am indebted to him.

Fire Immortal, Xu Feng is fit to take the throne of Demon Lord.

Fire Immortal Xu Feng!

King of Qingcheng.

Fire Immortal Xu Feng.

Are you willing to become a man of the demon tribe,

take the throne as Demon Lord?

Wait!

Wait!

Please don't agree!

There will be no turning back!

Xu Feng!

I'd like to be part of demon tribe.

From now on, I shall do my best for the people of Demon Realm...

until the day I die.

I hereby grant the blood of demon.

Xu Feng!

You've got to think this through!

You're the descendant of the Heaven!

Are you really going to abandon your bloodline of Heaven?

Have you made up your mind?

Have you ever opened your eyes...

and have a closer look at the Heaven Realm?

Have you ever thought...

why the late Water Immortal betrothed Jin Mi to me instead of you?

How did I, a rebel and traitor successfully topple the throne...

and easily come to the throne in just one attempt?

Why did no one stop your mother from jumping off the Lin Yuan Terrace?

It's not because I'm good at manipulating or being self-contained.

It was because of them!

They went against the tide...

and caused themselves to be disowned by everyone.

Xu Feng!

Xu Feng!

From this day on,

Xu Feng will be a part Demon Realm.

Heaven Realm and I, let us be ashes to ashes,

dust to dust,

no longer related.

I hereby grant the Demon Dagger.

Demon Lord, please rise.

Xu Feng...

All hail Demon Realm, long live The Lord.

All hail Demon Realm, long live The Lord.

All hail Demon Realm, long live The Lord.

-Xu Feng! -Let's go!

Xu Feng!

Your Majesty.

Is it news from Demon Realm?

Lord Fire Immortal has become the Demon Lord.

I know.

Fire Immortal's act of provocation...

is a declaration of war to the Heaven.

This Xu Feng now...

is no longer the old Xu Feng.

Your Majesty, you mean...

You may leave now.

Xu Feng.

Demon Lord.

No way...

How could he be?

All of you forced him to!

All of you!

Because of all of you!

You pushed my Xu Feng to Demon Realm.

All because of you!

My Xu Feng...

My Xu Feng...

Demon Realm is finally back on tracks.

Liao Yuan must be pleased...

to see Xu Feng accept the blood granted by Great Elder from up above.

Good fortune comes to those who do good.

Liao Yuan has always been done good.

Even the Great Elder of Demon Realm is forever grateful to him.

Yet he died under the sword of his own men in Heaven Realm.

That's very unfair.

Demon Lord can't let go.

Though he doesn't say it,

but he has never found someone new to replace Liao Yuan.

He must be reminiscing and thinking about Liao Yuan.

This pair of master and servant has always been good together.

It's hard to come by.

Since Fire Immortal has become Demon Lord,

he has been killing masses,

conquering every corner of Demon Realm.

He even took in all of King of Gucheng's army.

The King of Gucheng now is a real pity.

Hiding and running everyday.

Fire Immortal is dominating Demon Realm.

Rumour has it, he's the strongest Demon Lord of all time.

He's highly worshiped.

The picture album illustrated by the Demon Realm painter is a great hit.

I used a year's worth of magical prowess...

to get this from a little fairy.

I also heard...

because of that indignant face of his,

all sorts of witches in the Demon Realm...

are cracking their heads to get in Yu Jiang Palace to attend to him.

It sure is nice for him,

he welcomes all who comes to him into his palace.

Hey beauty,

I think, you shouldn't waste your heart on players like him.

Why don't you just dive into my loving arms?

I can't believe...

he actually became the Demon Lord.

It's all because of me.

It's all because of me that he ended up in Demon Realm.

Don't blame yourself.

Though the Demon Realm is not as stunning as the Flora Realm...

or as dreamy as the Heaven Realm,

it is still a place of belonging.

Also, I just told you.

He's now high and mighty in the Demon Realm.

Above and beyond the law. Highly prestigious.

You need not worry for him anymore.

Forget it then.

So long as he is well and good.

There I'll wait for us to watch the setting sun.

In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.

There I'll sing in the moonlight.

What's that?

It's nothing.
