"Ashes of Love"

"Episode 55"

After we are done with Flora Realm,

let's go back to Demon Realm, alright?

Because by that time,

our child will be born.

We will let father name the baby, alright?

Xu Feng will be the godfather, alright?

So that no one will bully him.

Don't you think so?

Never wished to get into dispute, but things never go my way.

The flower in my heart was wilted, and I can never turn back time.

Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.

My only hope is a life with no regrets where I drift away with the flowers.

When he grows up,

I will tell him...

our story.

Princess is honourable.

How could I have improper thoughts?

If this is the reason you don't want to be with me,

then I don't want to be the princess of Demon Realm.

If you must make a clean break with me,

I'll give my life back to you now.

From now on, we don't owe each other anything.

As long as I am here,

I will never let princess get hurt.

I know that you care about me.

I'm giving you my heart now.

You have to keep it safe.

All right.

I promise,

I will put it on next to my heart...

until the end of my life, okay?

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.

Why are you venting your anger on the innocent red threads?

Moon Immortal.

You are all things to all men now.

Both Heaven and Demon Realms want you to host their wedding.

You are the most popular person in the six realms.

I think you don't have to tie red threads anymore.

Being a marriage officiant isn't that bad.

It's fine if Xu Feng becomes the Demon Lord.

But he wants to marry the evil woman.

He is really muddle-headed.

This is the so-called no one is perfect.

Xu Feng has the most outstanding look in the six realms.

But when it comes to this, he is not as good as me.

The thing I can't stand the most is mismatched marriage.

However, these 4 persons are now making a great mistake.

They are all messed up.

Why don't we set the thing right?

What should we do?

Dust belongs to dust. Soil belongs to soil.

The grape belongs to crow.

My beauty belongs to me.

Your Majesty.

Kuang Lu, it's been a tough time for you.

Oh right.

Last time,

the chiefs of Flora Realm were unable to attend the wedding.

This time,

I hope all of them can come to the ceremony.

I will write the invitations personally to invite them.

Find some top-quality Cheng Xin Tang papers for me.

Yes.

The dragon I know...

is a real gentleman.

He is modest, talented,

well-cultivated and gentle.

Father, why are you here?

Why are you in a daze?

Is it because His Majesty's wedding is around the corner...

and it's making you upset?

How could it be?

His Majesty is getting married and achieving his wish.

I feel so happy for him.

There's no one else here.

You don't have to talk pleasantries to me.

The late Heavenly Emperor had an amorous nature,

but the current Heavenly Emperor is faithful.

He only loves Water Immortal.

He's never attracted to anyone else.

Why must you sacrifice so much for him?

To him, you're just his subordinate,

a capable subordinate.

Why must you make yourself suffer?

In the end,

- if he doesn't respond... - I'll be with him for all my life.

It's...

It's...

It's... You...

Where are you going?

Kuang Lu.

Greeting, Your Majesty. I hereby appeal to you...

to make a bold request.

You are welcome, Immortal Taisi. Feel free to speak your mind.

Your Majesty.

My daughter, Kuang Lu has been working with Your Majesty for years.

After years of experience,

she has grown up a lot.

Perhaps it's time for her to leave Your Majesty...

to gain experiences somewhere else.

Moreover, Kuang Lu is no longer young now.

As her father,

I hope she could get a good marriage in the future, couldn't she?

After the wedding ceremony,

I will seek the best match for Kuang Lu in Heaven Realm.

Whether to stay or leave, I will let her decide.

Is that good?

Good, good.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty.

Father.

Immortal Taisi, please be the witness.

Shangyuan Immortal, Kuang Lu...

is willing to follow Your Majesty with all my life...

and pledge my allegiance to Your Majesty.

It's...

Only death could stop me.

When I was dying, it was Sui He who saved me.

When I had nothing, it was Sui He who stayed by my side.

Speaking about being evil,

Sui He is not as evil as you.

I do love you.

I love you.

If you say you love me again,

I'll kill you right away.

I'll slash you...

every time you say it.

Mi Er.

I was thinking...

the chiefs of Flora Realm and you are like mothers and daughter.

I want to invite them to our wedding to be our witnesses.

And also to thank them for raising you.

What do you think?

You decide it then.

Mi Er, let me show you something.

Mi Er.

Choose the most beautiful paper for the wedding invitations.

You are the daughter of Flora Immortal.

All of the Chiefs will like the paper of your choice.

As I see it,

they are actually the same.

It's up to you.

It's better if you choose.

As it is a wedding ceremony,

then just choose...

the red colour that matches the joyful occasion.

Just choose.

This colour then.

I'm not sure if I chose the right one.

As long as you like it,

it would be the best.

It seems...

It seems like I got the right one.

My Lord.

How is Liu Ying?

She hasn't left the house for 3 days.

She hasn't drunk anything.

I don't know what should I say to her.

I'll go and see her.

Xu Feng, father.

Sorry for making you worried for the past few days.

Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to me,

because...

I'm pregnant with Mu Ci's baby.

I will let our love live.

Father, can you make me some food?

All right, all right.

I will ask the chefs to prepare your favourite dishes.

Xu Feng, King of Gucheng had colluded with Run Yu...

to capture Mu Ci and make Immortality Destructing Arrow to fight you.

The battle between us and Heaven Realm is inevitable.

Promise me,

by that time, allow me to avenge Mu Ci.

Xu Feng, have some desserts.

What happened?

I'm fine. Go back first.

Why are you hiding your hand behind you back then?

- Let me see. - I told you I'm fine!

What's going on with your ear?

That's Jin Mi's fault.

Jin Mi intended to kill me in Jiu Ying Cave.

If you didn't come in time,

not only my ear would get hurt.

Xu Feng.

I have an ugly scar on my ear now,

will you despise me?

Why would I?

Good then.

You have no idea.

I've been having nightmares since that day.

You have to avenge me.

All right. Go back first.

I have some duties to attend to.

Well then.

I'm leaving now. Rest early.

Glass fire?

Xu Feng, you think Sui He has been lying to you?

Uncle sounded very serious back then.

In fact, I was hesitating.

Yesterday,

I accidentally saw a scar caused by Water Limbo Palm on Sui He's ear.

She said she was hurt by Jin Mi Jiu Ying Cave not long ago.

But the scar doesn't seem to be a new scar.

She's very suspicious.

Water Limbo Palm?

Wasn't that the late Water Immortal proudest skill when he was alive?

If the culprit who murdered Water Immortal and Wind Immortal...

is Sui He,

then, can she use glass fire?

I went to Jiu Ying Cave again just now.

That was a trace of glass fire.

The prowess is comparable with mine.

However, Sui He has always been delicate.

She used her magical prowess to sustain my physical soul.

How does she gain such a refined prowess?

I want to find out the culprit who killed Water Immortal and framed me,

but I don't want to accuse the innocent.

You'll know whether it's true if you put her in a test.

No way. That'd make me a heartless man.

How could I do that to Mu Ci?

Xu Feng, you are worrying too much.

No matter how perfect Sui He thinks you are,

Mu Ci is still the best to me,

I never care about what others think.

Hence, you don't have to feel sorry for anyone.

Stay!

Why did you stop me?

I'm a friend of Water Immortal.

Heavenly Emperor has ordered that before the wedding ceremony,

outsiders are not allowed to enter Xuan Ji Palace.

I'm not an outsider. I'm...

Mi Er.

Both of these blockheads won't let me in.

- Don't be rude to the immortal. - Hold on.

Immortal.

He is my friend. Let him in.

But His Majesty has ordered...

If His Majesty blames you, ask him to come to me then.

Roger.

Let's go.

Run Yu is getting pettier.

How could he stop me from meeting you?

I think he's afraid that you will run away with me.

Mi Er,

do you seriously want to be Heavenly Empress?

I can tell you that...

the role of Heavenly Empress requires extraordinary talents.

With your ability...

It's not that I underestimate you but you're just average.

Average?

I know.

Are you trying to tell me that my magical prowess is weak?

Of course not.

I know...

your current magical prowess cannot be compared with the past.

But look,

among all the previous Heavenly Empresses,

they were all wicked, merciless and insidious.

They were hypocritical and malignant, hid their sharp claws in velvet paws.

I don't think you have any of these characteristics.

Not to mention the former Heavenly Empress.

You can't even be compared with Sui He.

Don't be sad.

I didn't mean it that way.

I mean,

in terms of evilness, scheming and manipulation,

can you compete with her?

You are right.

Compared to Sui He,

I'm very silly.

I'm so silly that...

I killed the wrong person when I avenged my father.

Aren't I silly?

The sea of bitterness has no bounds, repent and the shore is at hand.

Why don't you run away from the wedding?

If you are willing to have an affair with me,

I will take you away.

Here we go again.

Stop talking nonsense.

Run Yu has made a lot of sacrifices for me.

I will not change my mind anymore.

Let me ask you one question then.

Do you love him?

If you marry him,

there's no turning back.

Your Majesty.

Why did she choose a green paper?

She should be able to distinguish the colours.

Was she distracted or does she have any dissatisfaction?

That's why she chose this paper to criticise me.

Perhaps there are some other hidden meanings.

Now that Your Majesty mentions it,

something's not right with Water Immortal lately.

What is it?

Recently, Water Immortal has planted Phoenix Flowers in Qi Wu Palace.

However, the flowers are grey in colour.

Really?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Why can't she distinguish the colours?

I get it.

You may excuse yourself now, Kuang Lu.

Yes.

You're just in time, Mi Er.

Kuang Lu has just brought me a pomegranate cake.

I have just had breakfast.

Why don't you try it for me?

Your Majesty.

Kuang Lu prepared it for you.

You should enjoy it yourself.

Actually,

Kuang Lu...

Kuang Lu has been working with you for quite some time.

She...

is really nice.

I don't mind if you want to have Heavenly Concubines.

Just do it if you're fond of anyone.

It's very kind of you to do that for me.

Mi Er.

To be honest with you,

I'm not afraid if you don't like me,

but I'm afraid of your occasional kindness.

Xu Feng.

Xu Feng.

What is happening, Xu Feng?

Why are you so cold?

Get out.

What's happening, Xu Feng?

Don't tell anyone about this.

We are getting married soon, but look at you.

What's going on? Can you tell me?

Don't worry. I'll be fine soon.

Elixir.

Someone must have tampered with the elixir.

Wait a moment.

Kuang Lu.

You are just in time.

I just recalled...

that day, Immortal Taisi mentioned about your marriage.

I'm thinking about...

Didn't I tell you my thought already?

Why would Your Majesty talk about it again?

There are so many talented men among the immortals in Heaven Realm.

No matter who you're fond of,

I will definitely grant you a good match.

Are you doing this...

to drive me away?

I understand Your Majesty's thought.

I know what's the answer to it.

But I don't want anything else.

I just wish to stay by your side all the time.

- Kuang Lu. - Your Majesty.

I will forget about what you said today.

Once I step out from this door,

everything will go back to how it used to be.

Can you please promise me?

If Your Majesty doesn't speak,

I will assume you've agreed.

Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor,

good night.

I shall excuse myself.

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

A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.

Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.

Never wished to get into dispute,

but things never go my way.

The flower in my heart wilts away...

It seems like...

I still can't get over you.

Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.

My only hope is a life with no regrets where I drift away with the flowers.

A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.

Memories come back and forth, still...

Why did you sneak into Heaven Realm in the middle of the night?

An honest man doesn't do anything underhand.

Heavenly Emperor should know why I would come here.

You've always been manipulative. Hence, I have no idea.

If you have a clear conscience,

why would you close your door and windows?

I'm just trying to save your face.

I'll only ask you one question.

Did you tamper with Lord Lao's elixir?

I thought something had happened.

So it's just a trivial matter.

I just removed a herb that has excessive heat from the elixir.

I knew it.

The rest of the world thinks that...

Heavenly Emperor is deeply in love with Water Immortal.

Little do they know,

Heavenly Emperor would actually manipulate and lie to his beloved one.

You knew that Xu Feng had a soul remained.

You also knew that once Jin Mi got the elixir,

she would certainly save Xu Feng.

You knew that he's of fiery nature, he fears the cold the most.

You purposely removed the fiery element of the medicine,

you've caused him to be counteracted by the elixir.

I assume Water Immortal doesn't know that...

her role as a pawn has worked perfectly.

If someone enlightens her right now...

You seem to have nothing to hide.

Did you tell the demon that...

you are the culprit who killed late Water Immortal...

and you're not the one who helped him to revive?

Now,

Xu Feng's attainments are growing each day.

He doesn't even care about the pain of the counteraction.

You're too much of a worry wart.

So what if Xu Feng knows that he was saved by Jin Mi?

If it weren't for Jin Mi's fatal stab,

how would he vanish into ashes?

Instead, Jin Mi,

if she knows that...

you already knew it wasn't Xu Feng who murdered late Water Immortal...

but you've been hiding it from her and misleading her,

I wonder how would she react.

You'd better don't do the silly thing.

You are going to marry him soon.

If this matter is exposed,

are you not afraid that your dream will vanish?

If you tell me what the missing medicine is,

after getting out of this door,

I will pretend nothing has ever happened.

If I tell you,

will you believe it?

If you insist on having it your way,

then I will make the last-ditch effort to struggle to death.

After inheriting the magical prowess from the dethroned Heavenly Empress,

you've gained a lot of confidence.

How did you know that?

When I saw the scar of Water Limbo Palm behind your ear,

I started to feel suspicious.

Then, Tu Yao lost all of her prowess in just one night.

I have already guessed it.

Nowadays,

Jin Mi and the rest already know...

you are the culprit who killed Luo Lin and Lin Xiu.

However,

that time, Xu Feng did not believe what Jin Mi said.

If I hand the evidence to Xu Feng now, what will he do?

You...

Here's my advice to you.

Keep your lips sealed.

Behave yourself and marry him is the only right way.

Under his protection, you can still stay alive.

If you fall into my hands someday,

as the world knows,

Heavenly Emperor has made a Supreme Immortal Oath...

and vowed to avenge her father's death on behalf of Water Immortal.

So, you are taking advantage of me to detain Xu Feng...

and cut all the ties between them.

You are unscrupulous.

Same to you.

Take your time. Goodbye.

Somebody comes.

Burn the incense and clean up the room.

Mi Er.

Mi Er.

It's late now.

Why are you not sleeping yet?

Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.

Is there anything that you want me to do for you?

What do you mean, Mi Er?

I don't get it.

I have heard the conversation between you and Sui He just now.

Do you still need me to do anything for you?

Perhaps...

help you...

help you to kill someone else?

Mi Er.

Listen to me.

Don't talk to me that way.

I will be terrified.

I'm the one who's terrified!

I have nothing left now.

You've used every inch of me.

I don't have any value anymore.

You can let me go now.

Seriously.

I beg you.

Can you please let me go?

Mi Er.

Look at me, look closely.

I love you.

I really love you.

Don't be afraid of me. Don't leave me.

You don't love me at all!

From the very beginning, you only love yourself.

You were just lying and said that you love me.

You lied to my father and told him that you love me.

You lied to the chiefs and told them that you love me.

You lied to everyone and said that you love me!

In the end, even you're deceived by your own lie.

But you don't love me.

- You don't love me! - No!

Listen.

You can feel it.

You can feel it, right?

You can feel my love for you, right?

I am not that stupid!

You approached me from the beginning...

just because I was close to Xu Feng.

You wanted to spy on him.

After that,

you suspected I'm the daughter of Water Immortal.

On Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet,

you saw how I transformed a hailstone,

you were even more certain that I'm the daughter of Water Immortal.

And that day,

when my father and I were outside the Northern Heavenly Gate,

you saw my father,

but you pretended that you didn't see him. Why?

You used the fact that I know nothing about love...

and tricked me into saying I like you.

Your purpose was to let my father believed that I like you!

Because you were afraid!

You were afraid that father would call off our engagement.

Because you were afraid that my father wouldn't be your support!

You wanted my father to fight against Xu Feng with you,

am I right?

You allowed me to go to Qi Wu Palace.

You allowed Xu Feng to visit me.

You were just taking advantage of me to detain him.

You gifted me the beast of dream to keep watch over me.

You already knew who had killed my father.

And you,

you're not only good at manipulating,

but you are also a gambler!

On the wedding day,

you made a bet.

You bet that...

You bet Xu Feng would break in.

You bet I would kill Xu Feng.

Am I right?

Divine Army were never there. There was nothing!

You had only one bet.

Your bet was me.

I was just your bargaining chip.

I was only your bargaining chip!

You are horrifying.

How did you do that?

You were so careful, every step you took was flawless.

You used everyone in the world as your pawn.

But,

still, you manage to deceive everyone into thinking that...

you are the most innocent and the kindest man in the world.

It's you.

You made me killed the person who I love the most.

You made me kill Phoenix.

You made me kill the person...

the person who loved me the most.

You are the Heavenly Emperor now.

You have everything that you ever wanted.

Nowadays, the entire world adores and respects you.

What else do you want?

All I ever want is Phoenix.

But why wouldn't you let me?

Now that Phoenix doesn't love me anymore.

He hates me!

He is marrying the culprit who killed my father.

Congratulations!

You have everything that you ever wanted.

Please.

Let me go.

Can you please let me go?

Mi Er.

How could I let you go?

How could I let you go, Mi Er?

I love you.

I love you so much that it hurts.

I am so in love with you that I can't free myself from it.

Everything I did... I did it for you.

I've become who I am for you.

I saw your dream.

In the dream,

you and him...

both of you were intimate.

Do you ever know how did I feel?

I wished I could destroy my spirit!

I never asked for anything...

until I met you.

It's you.

You made me let my guard down.

You gave me the warmth that I haven't felt for a long time.

Only you.

I will never let you go.

The past events taught me that...

if I want to defend the ones I love,

I have to be patient.

I have to be stronger...

to make everyone submit to my command!

I did it.

Mi Er.

Now that you're staying by my side.

Though you had been going to the Demon Realm to find him,

I can turn a blind eye to it as long as you stay by my side!

After that...

After that, you seldom went there.

You even...

you even agreed to marry me.

Do you know how happy I was?

I was even thinking,

as long as we can get married,

as long as I can be with you forever,

I'm willing to quit being the Heavenly Emperor!

Enough!

You don't even know what love is.

You never deserve to be loved.

Please don't profane the word of love.

From now on,

no matter what you say,

I will never believe it.
