"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 5

Jinmi.

Jinmi.

A fairy sister from Nine Luminaries Palace
told me to hand you this letter.

It's for you.

No way.

Why is he so happy
while reading love letter this time?

If I had known earlier,
I'd have kept it for Suihe.

Have a look.

What do you think?

Smooth. Sincere. And beautifully written.

The only thing is it's too long.

It's better to leave out some parts.

Read it out.

Immortal Jinmi,
I hope this letter finds you well.

The letter is for me.

And she calls me Immortal.

The fairies nowadays
are having bad eyesights.

Someone's looking for Jinmi.

You're even busier than me,
the God of Fire.

Just go.

This way.

Hello, Immortal Jinmi.

Well...

Well...

Do you agree?

Did you read the letter I wrote you?

The letter?

Yes, I did.

It was nicely done. Genuine and sincere.

I'm deeply moved.

Really?

No one has ever written
such a touching letter to me.

Thank you.

QIWU PALACE

Here. Thanks.

Here you go.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Everybody gets one each.

Get in line.

QIWU PALACE

I got yours.

Let's drink.

Taste so good.

That's right.

Thank you.

There are so many rice dumplings.

I'll eat them one by one.

I'll definitely get the Dumpling King
with 500 years of magical prowess.

Only one year of magical prowess?

But it tastes good.

It is fragrant and sticky.

Even if there's no magical prowess,
they're worth eating.

One year.

Seriously?

Seriously?

Twenty rice dumplings.

All with only one year of magical prowess.

This is unfair.

Extremely unfair!

Jinmi.

How many did you eat?

Everyone has gone home.

Why didn't you come
and help Liaoting and I to clean up?

Twenty.

I already ate 20 rice dumplings.

But each of them
only contained one year of prowess.

I was angry and stuffed.
Then I fell asleep.

I wonder which one of them

ate the Dumpling King
with 500 years magical prowess.

Indeed, I haven't heard who ate it.

This means the Dumpling King
with 500 years prowess is not yet eaten?

So where are the remaining rice dumplings?

This is the first time
the Heavenly Realm makes such a thing.

There won't be anymore left.

Don't even think about it.

By the way,
Your Highness wants you at Xichen Palace,

to practise transformation trick.
You'd better go there.

Could it be that the immortal
who got it did not eat it?

Speaking of which,

Your Highness did tell me
to bring one to Xichen Palace for him.

I don't know if he's eaten it or not.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I heard that you're moving
to House of Marriage lately?

Says who?

You must have heard wrong.

You personally teach me
such powerful magical prowess.

Why would I be so stupid
and rely on others?

Your Highness,
I'll get the ink ready for you.

I'm reading today.
There's no need for ink.

Okay.

But it's late now, I feel hungry.

Why don't you heat up the rice dumpling

using the spell I taught you
so that I can eat it?

The mortals' dumplings taste really bad.

The wrapper smells funny.

And the rice inside
is not the rice we normally use.

It's very soft.

Even if it's only rice,
it has to be tough, right?

How can it be so soft?

And this is a big rice dumpling.

If you eat it at night, you might choke.

If that's the case,
I'm more curious about how it tastes.

Since you said it tasted so bad.

Your Highness,
how about I make you a flower cake?

It tastes a hundred times
better than the rice dumpling.

It'll melt in your mouth. You won't choke.

-Okay?
-Sure.

Alright. I'll make it right away.

Wait for me!

Just one moment!

Dumpling King.

Dumpling King.

Dumpling King.

Dumpling King
with 500 years magical prowess

is indeed extraordinary.

Flower cake.

This time, I do have to thank the phoenix.

But, he doesn't seem
to like flower cake very much.

Got it.

Your Highness, why are you here?

What are you doing?

Where's my flower cake?

But you don't like to eat flower cake.

Why do you want me to make it?

After a long thought,
I came up with a better gift

which is hundred times
better than flower cake.

What is it?

The flower cake can satisfy my hunger
even if it tastes bad.

But what's the use of a tree of flowers?

Leaves like phoenix's feathers.
Flowers like phoenix's crest.

Since you're a phoenix,

I'm giving you a red ebony
as an appreciation gift.

It's also called Phoenix Flower.

Phoenix Flower?

It's said that Phoenix Flower
blooms twice.

For the first time, destiny arrives.
For the second time, destiny ends.

I've made the Phoenix Flowers here
always bloom with my magical prowess.

Do you like the flower I give you?

Destiny comes and go. It's doomed to end.

Flowers are doomed
to wilt and return to earth.

So there's nothing to comment about.

Match-Maker was right.

The God of Fire is perfect,
except that he's unromantic.

You are not interested in
these beautiful flowers,

nor those pretty fairies.

So of all the things in the world,
what exactly do you like?

You decided this on your own.

I haven't questioned you,
but you're questioning me already.

I got it.

The thing you like most
is punishing others.

You...

Phoenix Flower?

Your Highness, someone asks to see you.

-Who?
-A group of people.

Your Highness.

I'm Jidu from Nine Luminaries Palace.

Greetings, Your Highness.

-What's the matter?
-I'm a bit of a boor.

I came here today to ask
for a marriage with the God of Fire.

Don't talk nonsense, Jidu.

Your Highness,
princess, please don't be angry.

That's not what he meant.

He's here on behalf of Yuebei

to ask for a marriage
with the God of Fire.

No, that's not the case.

He's here on behalf of Yuebei

to ask for the marriage with Jinmi
who's in the prince's palace.

That's right.

A marriage with Jinmi.

I never thought
Jinmi is so good with ladies.

Tell me. What's the matter?

Judging from your appearance,
you're Jinmi, right?

I heard that Yuebei was disrespectful
to you yesterday outside Qiwu Palace.

We from the Nine Luminaries Palace
dare to admit our mistakes.

These are the wedding gifts.

I think there's no need
to choose for an auspicious day.

Come with me to marry Yuebei today.

Treated disrespectfully?

It was just a kiss on my cheek.

It's okay. Doesn't matter.

I'm afraid I have to refuse it.

Jinmi can't marry Yuebei.

Why not? Do you dislike Yuebei?

Why don't you ask Jinmi's opinion first,
Your Highness?

Jinmi, do you like Yuebei?

If both of you like each other,
just let us know.

Jidu and I will help you.

Do you...

Do you like her or not?

We're friends.

Of course I like her. But...

Your Highness, since Jinmi said so,

we can set the marriage now.

Why would we separate the lovebirds?

Relax, Jidu.

I didn't mean to stop you.

In fact, it's Jinmi
who is not capable of doing so.

As the saying goes

a natural couple
is formed by a man and a woman.

Jinmi is also a girl.

Of course she can't marry Yuebei.

How is it possible?

She was supressed
by the Prowess Supress Hairpin.

So it's normal for you and Yuebei
to mistake her for a man.

How did he know
this was a Prowess Supress Hairpin?

Not even I know that.

Jinmi is my attendant.

Things are easier if she dresses as a man.

It is also my fault
that the misunderstanding occurs.

Please don't be angry at me.

Jinmi, I'm sorry.

Your Highness, sorry for disturbing you.

Let's go. Come on. Hurry up.

Come here.

See what I've got for you.

What are these?

Xufeng is so lucky.

He got a pretty girl
with just a random pick.

It was I who picked him.

That doesn't matter. It's almost the same.

Anyway, both of you are one.

You're a grape elf,
so I purposely prepared this for you.

So? Do you like it?

-Get changed and let me see.
-No, I don't like it. Not nice at all.

Are you questioning my sense of beauty?

Not nice?

Impossible.

I mean, no way it's not nice.

The Match-Maker's sense of beauty
is of course good. It's good.

A little girl
should look like a little girl.

If you don't like the purple one,
here, change into the red one.

Nice?

Yeah.

Nice.

It's her.

She's back.

I've always been here.

You look familiar,

but I can't remember who...

Forget it.

As expected from Xufeng's partner.

Red does suit you.

It just matches perfectly.

When Xufeng sees this,
he'll be happy for sure.

If he's happy, he'll be more kind to you.

People spare no effort to learn.

You fit perfectly to this saying.

They say you're very talented,

but who knows the effort you put in.

The annotations in the book
are more detailed than the text.

I'm really impressed.

These aren't for me.

I wrote the annotations
for that lazy Jinmi.

If only she was thoughtful
and studious as you,

then I don't have to worry so much.

Your Highness. Princess. Why are you here?

There are a lot to do in Qiwu Palace.

Instead of helping
Liaoting and Feixu with the jobs,

you are attracting attention
in these clothes.

How can you do this?

Attract attention?

Great minds think alike.
I think this is attracting attention too.

It's really attracting attention.

But I couldn't recall
what I look like dressed in this.

Now that I've seen you two,
it suddenly occurs to me that

I look very much like
a kind of bird in your tribe, princess.

What is it called again?

It's very ugly,

with white spots
spread on its red feathers.

It's called...

crimson-bellied chicken!
That's right! That ugly chicken!

It's so ugly.

But there's nothing I can do.

The Match-Maker made me wear this.

I have to follow
what he says as I'm younger.

Poor me.

I'm a decent grape elf,

but now I have to
be a silly and strutting chicken for once.

-You...
-Suihe,

I'm busy today.

I will talk to you
about spells another day.

Why are you standing there?

As an attendant, you're really insensitive
to your job. Let's go.

Why do I feel like the princess is angry?

The crimson-bellied chickens
and peacocks are of the same ancestry.

Suihe is related to them.

She really cares about face.
Why did you speak so carelessly?

Reflect on your mistakes when we're back.

How many vermilion bird eggs
have you eaten?

Your nose is bleeding.

Jinmi,

your appearance
surely attracts others' attention.

This is what I do.

It's how it should be.

You're really shameless.

Why should I be embarrassed?

As flowers and fruits,

of course we have to attract
bees and butterflies.

If there is no bees or butterflies
to help in flowers' pollination,

how do we get fruits?

Without fruits, there's no grape.

Being stupid is not your fault.

But being stupid
while looking so attractive

is definitely your fault.

-Your Highness.
-Your Highness.

What happened to your face?
Who bullied you?

Your Highness, I'm not bullied.

Maybe because it's too dry

that there's too much heat in my body.

Go wash your face.

Then recite the heat-clearing chant.

You'll cool down when you're calm. Go.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Hang on.

It's better
if you use the grape vine hairpin.

-Why?
-You don't want to?

I didn't mean
to be better looking than you.

It was just a coincidence. Coincidence.

-What did you say?
-I understand that.

I dressed like a man,

and Yuebei wanted to marry me

instead of you.

That's why you're unhappy.

But don't worry.
I will be more careful next time. I will.

You heartless girl.

Alright. I'll just be more careful.

You little demon

are more obedient to my uncle
compared to me, his nephew.

You changed your clothes
when the Match-Maker told you to.

Why aren't you so obedient on other days?

Red does suit you.

When Xufeng sees this,
he'll be happy for sure.

If he's happy, he'll be more kind to you.

Of course
it's not because of the Match-Maker.

I did this for the...

I did this for you.

Look at me, are you happy?

You're not answering my question.

I'll just ask you.

Do you feel happy
when you see me dressed like this?

I see. She did this for me.

Is she... Is she into me?

Match-Maker is indeed calculating.

Dressing like a chicken
actually has its use.

The phoenix's taste is really...

Never mind. I made him happy,
so what if I have to sacrifice a little?

Maybe when he gets happier,
he'll give me some magical prowess.

By the way, uncle told me to tell you
seven days later, in the morning,

there will be a show at House of Marriage.

Have a look if you have time.

Really? That's great!

I love watching opera.

If you have nothing to do,
concentrate in your practice.

Don't just wander around.

Okay. So are you going
to the show by then?

By asking this, do you want me to go
or do you not want me to go?

-I don't want you to go.
-Why?

If you do, you'll be surrounded
by the female fairies.

Then, I wouldn't be able
to get a good seat.

Is she...

being jealous?

He's really afraid
that I'll steal the fairies away.

Foolish bird.

What would I want those fairies for?

It's better if you give me
some magical prowess.

Follow me.

Open all the cabinets, and clean them.

Doesn't he have hands?

Your Highness, what treasure is this?

This is the tooth of Taowu.

This is my precious collection.
Be careful.

Clean it. Then put it back.

What about this?

This is the rib of Gudiao.

The beast resembles a bird.

It fed on mortals,
and looked like a bird with horns.

It had a baby's cry,
and had killed countless people.

But it was easily subdued by me.

Did he purposely tell me this?

These are Hundun's head and tail.

This is the tail of Chuhuai.

This is one of the nine brains of Jiuying.

All of these were feracious beasts
that harmed the six realms.

But they're now my trophy.

Look around.

If there's anything you like,
I can give it to you as a decoration.

But if it's the heads
of the ancient beasts that you want,

I can think about it
depending on your performance.

No need.

You're indeed the God of War,
Your Highness.

Amazing. Awesome.

The cabinets are almost full.

I'll need a new one.

This works.

When she's looking
at my great achievements,

her eyes are shining with admiration.

He is clearly warning me.

Such a narrow-minded bird.

How did I offend him?

Why is he scaring me?

HOUSE OF MARRIAGE

Is it Jinmi?

The little girl brought up by Xufeng

has changed a lot.

You've become prettier as time passes.

He's really narrow-minded.

He is afraid that I'll steal his title of
"The Most Handsome Guy in Six Realms".

In case there's misunderstanding,

I've kept my grape vine
in magic-repressing bag.

Xufeng is the best in six realms.

And Jinmi,
you're extraordinarily beautiful.

You and Xufeng make the perfect match.

Huh?

Match-Maker, you're getting slimmer.

Seems like your diet works.

Congratulations.

-Was I very fat?
-Yeah.

It was bird tribe's fault.

Lately, the chickens they provide
are even smaller than a pigeon.

They were terrifyingly thin
that I couldn't get enough food everyday.

I even wake up at night due to hunger.

Could it be plague caused by chickens?

No. This is a long story.

They ought to know who they're bullying.

The Flora Realm
is biting off more than they can chew.

They even go against the bird tribe now.

Aunt, don't be angry.

And you. Why are you only telling me now?

You're the mighty princess of bird tribe.
The leader of the tribe.

Great Floral Fairy is nothing.

She's just temporarily taking charge
of the Flora Realm for Flora Goddess.

Who is she to tell us what to do?

I thought this was a small matter.

Moreover, the prince went missing
and Demon Realm was advancing.

I didn't wish to argue with her.

That's why I backed off.

When I returned home,
I interrogated everyone in the tribe.

No one did what she mentioned.

But unexpectedly,
Great Floral Fairy won't let this go.

She insisted that
a bird took away an elf from Flora Realm.

Why is the elf so important?

I find it strange too.

But I couldn't trace the flower elf.

Yet she said I tried to cover up
for my subordinate and got mad.

She even gave out Luoying order
and stopped providing us with food.

She said if the bird tribe
didn't hand over the elf,

Flora Realm will never provide us food.

How dare she!

Besides worms, our main food
is flower, grains and also seeds.

Aren't they going against us
by doing this?

The newly borns are looking very thin.

I feel so sorry.

That's why I'm here
to ask for your help, aunt.

The Flora Realm is so arrogant

because the Heavenly Emperor
is being soft with them.

But we can't lower ourselves to beg them.

Pass my order.

Open up the eight granaries
of Heavenly Realm.

Yes.

As for that flower elf,

there must be something mysterious
about her.

Tell someone to check it out secretly.

Find out who she is,
and keep me up to date.

Yes.

As fox, we can't live without chickens.

They were originally provided
by bird tribe.

But now, we're running out of food.

The chickens who were able to grow into
the size of a pigeon has struggled a lot.

This is tortuous. Very tortuous.

I wonder which unlucky flower elf that is.

If I were still in Flora Realm,

I'll persuade Great Floral Fairy
to never stop providing them food,

but substitute all with croton.

Hey you, why did you barge in?

I told you,
my master is having a guest today.

-Mr. Hu.
-Mr. Hu.

She is...

More?

No.

Honghong,

I am terrified.

Do you know who I ran into just now?

Is it the jade rabbit
from Guanghan Palace?

It is.

I haven't seen that rabbit
for thousands of years.

It has become a lot fatter.

How many carrots do you think it ate
to grow into how it is now?

I just wonder what brings you here
to experience such suffering.

Let's not talk about it.

I'm so unlucky today.

Great Floral Fairy chased me
out of Flora Realm.

After a long thought,

I think it's better to come to your place.

Why did she chase you out?

This is...

It's me. Little grape.

Little One?

Oh my darling,

I found you at last.

You brought me lots of trouble.

Why did you leave without saying anything?

My carrot skin
was almost peeled by the great fairies

because of you.

They even accused me
of failing in protecting you

and ordered me to look
for you immediately.

If I can't find you, they'll throw me

into a rabbit's nest.

This is great. I finally found you.

I didn't think that Great Floral Fairy
who was always strict with me

got a place for me in her heart.

Hurry up. Come back with me.

-I'm finally safe.
-Wait a moment.

Where are you taking my nephew's wife?

Your nephew's wife?

Little One,

are you wrongly matched
by this bad-sighted fox?

His nephew
looks like he'll have a lot of lovers.

He'll have at least eight wives
if not ten in the future.

How can you and his nephew...

You...

Let's look for Supreme Lord Tao

and borrow his sword
to cut off the matching red line.

What are you talking about?

I'm here to learn from the phoenix.

Really?

That's better.

But you should go back now.

Otherwise there'll be a chaos.

Either the bird tribe
or the Flora Realm will extinct.

Let's go back

Mr. Hu,
Xufeng is still training the soldiers.

-Why not wait for him to...
-No time for that.

Come on. Let's go.

Wait for me!

-Mr. Hu.
-Hurry up.

Slow down. Relax.

-You!
-Relax.

-Jinmi.
-Fox fairy.

Honghong, don't cause any more trouble.

We're running out of time.
If this is delayed,

Flora Realm will be going into
a war with bird tribe.

Wait a second.

Could the missing flower elf be Jinmi?

That's it.

Aren't I a grape elf?

Flower elf or grape elf,
what's the difference?

You're still an elf either way.

Do you know that
when Great Floral Fairy learnt

that you were taken away by a big bird,

she was extremely furious?

-Come on. Go home with me.
-Hang on.

What's so special about Jinmi?

Why does Great Floral Fairy
treat her so differently?

I've never heard that she has a child.

Is Great Floral Fairy saving Jinmi
for another man?

Honghong, don't talk nonsense.

Jinmi was brought up
by Great Floral Fairy.

Of course she cares about her.

Won't you help your neighbour
to find her lost child?

Somehow,
I think that something is fishy here.

That's why you can't just take Jinmi away.

I didn't expect I was quite important
in Great Floral Fairy's heart.

Honghong,

don't you old man mind
the matter of Flora Realm.

Who is an old man?

Look into the mirror.

All these years, my skin
is better taken care of than yours.

Mr. Hu. Let me ask you.
If I follow you back now,

will Great Floral Fairy
peel my grape skin off?

She'll punish you for sure.

It suddenly occurs to me that

there's something
I haven't completed in Heavenly Realm.

I'll go now. Bye, Mr. Hu.

Come back here.

Little One, you'd better think carefully.

Are you going back with me now

or do you want Great Floral Fairy

to come and find you in her anger?

Be wise.

I'd better leave with you now.

Fox fairy,

I caused this, so I must go back.

But don't worry. After apologising,
I'll be back in no time.

Help me keep an eye on the Great Immortal.

But you're Xufeng's attendant.

No matter what, you have to wait
for Xufeng to return from the training

and say goodbye in a decent way.

-There's no time for that.
-Mr. Hu.

Xufeng has never mistreated Jinmi.

So the courtesy must be followed.

Forget it.
We're running out of time. Let's go.

Rourou!

Why are you standing there? Run!

-I'm going to avenge Rourou!
-Jinmi.

Little One, you...

-Run.
-Fish Fairy!

Fish Fairy!

I'll help you.

Jinmi.
