"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 10

The saying goes, parents know their children best.

But my son is not on the same boat with me.

I don't know why I'm doing all this.

His Highness will understand your thoughts one day.

But now, the people around him are all skeptical.

The Princess of Bian City, Liuying has only known His Highness for a few days,

yet she's already calling him Brother Feng.

She doesn't care if he will be criticised by others in Heaven Realm.

It's just a demon's trick. Don't mind that.

What's your opinion on Xufeng getting injured in the Demon Realm?

I think something is fishy.

With the prince's cultivation,

he shouldn't be injured so easily.

I believe Liuying is not so ordinary.

She wouldn't let someone from the Heaven Realm, who provides help, to get hurt.

In my opinion,

there's another story behind this.

Go check it out in the Demon Realm.

Watch out for Qiongqi and the three Demon Kings.

See if Runyu is secretly colluding with them,

and report back to me.

Yes, aunt.

Princess, I've brought him here.

Greetings, Princess Suihe.

So, you're the soldier

that came late for conscription and was taken by Xuanji Palace?

Yes, I am.

Is there anything you need me for?

Well, is the Night Immortal treating you well?

-Very well. -How so?

He only appears at night and always keeps to himself.

Although I seldom see him,

he's quite good to fairies like us.

He always greets us.

Is this even good treatment?

Do you want to work for the Fire Immortal?

Help me with this,

and I'll get you there.

Choose anywhere you like at Divine Army Mansion.

As for your position,

as long as it's not a high-ranking position,

you may choose whichever position you like.

What do you want me to do, princess?

Keep an eye on the Night Immortal.

Every move he makes,

the people he meets, and the things he says,

tell me everything regardless of its importance.

Is it hard?

You'd have a promising future if you work under Fire Immortal.

This big fortune is wanted badly by other immortals.

What have I done to deserve such a big fortune?

I heard that Fire Immortal is very strict with the army.

He personally picks his own soldiers.

So, why is it...

that you have the power

to pick the soldiers, Princess Suihe?

Don't you worry about that.

I'm a person of my word.

Actually, on conscription day,

it wasn't because I came late that I had to go to Xuanji Palace.

I went there of my own will.

You're so lacking ambition.

So, you're not doing it, huh?

Everybody has his own aspiration. Please forgive me, princess.

If you don't obey me today, you'll be offending me,

which means, offending the Heavenly Empress.

Princess, you mean...

it's the Heavenly Empress's will to keep an eye on Night Immortal?

Certainly.

XUANJI PALACE

It's only until today that I know

why Xuanji Palace is so cheerless

with only a few people.

It's because the Heavenly Empress is treating you like this.

During these thousands of years,

none of them have gone through the test.

They were all kicked out by me.

Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Empress?

I am.

But everyone has his own ambition. They can't force me.

Moreover, I don't know how to lie.

I'd certainly expose myself.

But I've never wanted to betray you. You have to believe me, Your Highness.

Kuanglu,

thank you.

I hope that you will trust me like the way you trust the Beast of Dreams.

The Heavenly Empress is still very suspicious of you.

It's hard to protect yourself.

You must be careful, Your Highness.

I've gotten used to it. It's okay.

As long as she can't find my mistakes, she can't do anything to me.

If only there was a meteor.

If there is meteor,

maybe the phoenix will be here.

Meteor.

Phoenix!

-Phoe-- -You're indeed bored, huh?

Fish Fairy, why are you here?

I came here without informing beforehand,

please don't be angry.

What are you talking about? I've been idle these past few days.

You're most welcome to come here and relieve my boredom.

You must be worrying about Xufeng.

He's fine now. He is recuperating at Qiwu Palace.

This time, it's all thanks to you, Jinmi.

Luckily, he's fine.

I was so worried about him.

I was just thinking that if there was a meteor, maybe it's the phoenix coming.

That's why I thought that the meteor was Phoenix.

So, do you like it?

Yes, I do.

It's so beautiful.

Fish Fairy, can you take me out of the Water Mirror?

I want to see the outside world.

I...

Okay.

Yay!

That's great!

We're out.

You're so amazing, Fish Fairy!

The barrier can't be broken by needles or water.

Fruits like us can only come out after cultivating for ten thousand years.

Even Mr. Hu has to chant

the water-breaking spell for a very long time.

But you, you managed to bring me out so easily.

You'll indeed have a great future.

It's nothing special. You've overpraised me.

Let's go, then.

This way.

King,

the Heavenly Emperor promised to attack the Demon Lord after Qiongqi's incident,

but nothing has happened yet.

The Heavenly Emperor

is still unreliable.

In the war between Heaven and Demon ages ago,

he did not keep his promises but abandoned us.

If it weren't for you, how did he become the Emperor so easily?

If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't trouble myself

to let Qiongqi go.

Now that Heaven Realm has taken Qiongqi back,

the Demon Realm has suffered a great loss.

If that's the case,

your plan to eliminate Demon Lord has come to nothing.

We can't rush in seizing the title of Demon Lord.

About that throne,

I have my own way to get it.

Heavenly Emperor is very ambitious. Heaven and Demon Realms

can't satisfy his greed.

So now,

we can't fuss over our losses.

Since the Heavenly Emperor has taken Qiongqi,

I'll let him fight at the front.

When the time comes,

I will definitely rule over the six realms.

Brilliant.

According to the scout we sent to the Demon Realm,

His Highness was indeed hurt by Qiongqi.

The three Demon Kings have no contact with the Night Immortal.

I have thought too highly of him.

But, of the people who went to the Demon Realm,

other than Night Immortal,

there was also the grape fairy, Jinmi.

You mean she has something to do with Xufeng's injury?

Was Jinmi Xufeng's reading assistant at Qiwu Palace?

You even praised her before.

I was careless.

Back then, the Great Floral Fairy stopped providing food

to the bird tribe because of a lost floral fairy.

I found out later that the fairy was Jinmi.

I see, it was her.

Go on.

The strange thing is...

Qiongqi was sealed inside the Soul Cauldron by His Highness

with a Nine Luminaries Fire Seal,

but who knows how he was still able to escape the cauldron.

When Qiongqi attacked him with plague needles, Jinmi was in the room too.

But, no one knows what actually happened in there.

I think Jinmi definitely has something to do with this.

What's even stranger is that,

when His Highness was injured by plague needles,

only Night Rattan could save him.

But, Night Rattan...

Night Rattan is sacred in the Floral Realm.

The Heaven and Floral Realms have had grudges for thousands of years,

they would never save Xufeng.

However, they actually saved him with it.

This matter doesn't seem to be simple.

What is the Floral Realm's motive?

You've worked hard. Go get some rest.

Keep this a secret before it's clear.

Yes.

Go and check on a grape fairy named Jinmi in the Floral Realm.

Yes.

SHRINE OF THE DESEASED FLORAL FAIRY

Heavenly Empress, everything is normal in the Floral Realm,

except for one place.

I found that within the Water Mirror Barrier,

there's a courtyard

that was sealed by a powerful Peony spell.

I was afraid I'd alarm the Floral Fairies, so I did not go in.

I'll have to go to the Floral Realm myself to find out then.

Great Floral Fairy,

Xufeng was seriously poisoned while subduing Qiongqi a few days ago.

Luckily, you were generous enough to heal Xufeng with Night Rattan.

I'm here today to thank you.

I brought you a gift, please accept it.

You're welcome, Heavenly Empress.

It was all fate.

It seems that his time hasn't come yet.

As for your appreciation,

that is too much. I can't bear it.

Everyone in the Floral Realm does not dare to accept it.

I heard that there's a grape fairy called Jinmi here in Floral Realm.

She was also there when Xufeng was wounded by Qiongqi.

Can I see her?

I'm afraid I have to say no.

Jinmi has made a big mistake.

She's repenting, and won't be seeing anyone.

The Fire Immortal was attacked,

I think it's more appropriate if you ask him yourself.

What wrong did Jinmi do exactly

to receive such a heavy punishment?

The Heaven Realm has no right to intervene in the Floral Realm's business.

Especially someone like you, Heavenly Empress.

What do you think?

We're busy here. There is a lot of work to do.

Please leave.

I won't disturb you anymore then. See you again.

Heavenly Empress, should we go back to the Heaven Realm now?

The Great Floral Fairy kept stopping me, and even ordered me to leave.

It's obvious that she's covering something up.

From the way she's acting,

I feel more like finding Jinmi and seeing exactly who she is.

Heavenly Empress, you actually lowered yourself

trying to break into a fairy's room?

Where would the Heaven Realm put its face if others know about this?

Who exactly is Jinmi?

You even set a double-layer barrier to trap her here.

It's none of your business.

Jinmi.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

It's you.

How are you? Why don't you stay inside the palace?

I'm fine now. I need some air.

Are you troubled?

You seem so immersed in thought.

Just tell me if there's anything troubling you.

I can share it with you.

This is all fate.

The so-called trouble sounds more like a joke.

Your Highness.

Are you worried about Jinmi?

I'm afraid I'm not even qualified to worry about her.

XUANJI PALACE

What a pitiable grape.

Jinmi.

Fish Fairy, you're here?

Jinmi,

am I disturbing you?

No, no. Why would that be?

You seem sullen,

is it because of Xuanji Palace's poor hospitality?

No, this place is great.

Everybody has taken great care of me.

Is there anything troubling you?

It's not quite so.

But after I parted with Xufeng the other day,

I haven't seen him again.

I wonder how his condition is.

I want to visit him.

I see. You're sullen because of this.

Don't worry, Jinmi. I just visited him at Qiwu Palace.

So? How is he?

Did he ask about me?

After taking the Night Rattan, he's basically fine.

It's just that, at this moment, everybody is queuing up

in front of Qiwu Palace to visit him.

It's very crowded there.

If you go there now, you'll attract attention.

Then, the fact that you're hiding in Heaven Realm

can no longer be kept hidden.

You're right, Fish Fairy.

It's better if I don't visit him now.

I'll go some other time.

Fish Fairy, the meteor you showed me the other day was so beautiful.

I want to see it again.

Just a simple trick, it wasn't worth mentioning.

If you want,

I can show you something even more special.

Something even more special? Where?

After you get out of Xuanji Palace, go south.

There's a milky way near the rainbow.

Milky way?

-Let's go now. -Come on.

So this is the milky way?

Phenomenal!

I've never seen such a beautiful place.

Fish Fairy,

the position you hold is good in terms of ranking.

But when it comes to joy,

I think it's not as good as Maori Star Guardian.

What do you mean?

Well, Maori Star Guardian is on duty during the day.

There are sounds of cocks and dogs. So it's kind of lively.

But, you only have that Beast of Dreams, who can't speak, as a companion,

and everybody has gone to bed at night.

How cheerless.

You're such a lonely immortal.

Only those who've experienced liveliness understand loneliness.

I'm fated to be alone.

I eat alone, practise alone,

read alone, and sleep alone.

Without knowing liveliness,

how would I know loneliness?

Give me your hand.

For you. This is the seed of a night-blooming cereus.

It is a flower that only blooms at night.

In the morning, it mostly sleeps while closing its flower.

I think its habit is more or less like yours.

That's why I gave it to you.

You can accompany each other from now on.

All these years,

the Heaven Realm is full of flowers transformed by clouds.

They will never wilt,

but it's still just a trick.

It's not real.

Thanks to you today

Xuanji Palace is able to have a real flower.

But, you still need to water and take good care of it.

I will give it my best.

Hopefully, when the night-blooming cereus blooms,

I can watch its beauty with you.

Sure. No problem.

Fish Fairy, please do me a favour.

Just say it.

Can you not take me back to the Water Mirror today?

I don't want to be found by the Great Floral Fairy.

Is it okay if I stay and disturb you for a few days at Xuanji Palace?

Since I've brought you out of the Water Mirror,

I won't take you back.

As long as you don't mind staying in Xuanji Palace,

that will not be a problem.

I don't mind. I don't.

But, even Phoenix is afraid of the Great Floral Fairy,

aren't you afraid?

I was disliked by many people since I was little.

One more person means nothing.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I heard that the Great Floral Fairy is here looking for Jinmi.

What? So fast?

No way. I can't let her find me.

Otherwise, I'm doomed.

Fish Fairy, I need to quickly hide in your palace now.

I'm glad that you think of Xuanji Palace first

when you're in trouble,

but I think that

if you wish for a longer freedom,

hiding in Heaven Realm is not the best option.

You're so thoughtful,

but I don't know much about the six realms.

Please tell me what to do.

The mortal world is very complicated.

It wouldn't be an easy task to track your scent

among the mortals.

I was right about you.

You're indeed an exceptional genius in the Heaven Realm.

I have a lot of faith in you.

You actually look good dressed like this.

Really?

Have a sip.

Although this place is simple and crude, it's very quiet.

If you're okay with it, you may settle down here.

Thanks, Fish Fairy.

I like this house. I like it very much.

Now you have a house and clothes,

but a pseudonym name in mortal world.

Pseudonym name?

Call me Mi then.

No. The name sounds too much like a girl's name.

You're now a gentleman.

How about the name Lingguang?

Lingguang?

Sounds like brightness.

I like it. This is it then.

The Earth Immortal is so speedy.

We've just arrived, and he's already here.

Just like a cat that got a fish.

He must have come by tracing the immortal scent.

I'm using your place

without informing you first. Please forgive me.

Your Highness, your visit to my territory has showered glory

and brings color to this place.

Now that I have lived

to see your charming appearance,

I feel so lucky

-and blessed. -Enough.

This is Mister Lingguang, a friend I made recently.

He has encountered some troubles,

and will be staying here for a few days.

Please take care of him, Earth Immortal.

Greetings, Mister Lingguang.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

This is my territory.

I'm in charge of this place.

If someone wishes to harm Mister Lingguang,

he'd have to go

over my dead body.

Before he became an immortal, he was a mountain thief.

Thanks then, Earth Immortal.

My pleasure. I'll take my leave then.

-I want this. -Give me this.

Sirs, there's only one left.

Mr. Puchi

Jinmi.

Mr. Puchi, why are you here?

One gets silly easily when staying too long in the Heaven Realm.

Don't you think so?

That's why I'm here to see the mortal's faces.

Now,

-I'm no longer Jinmi. -What are you then?

After I came to the mortal world,

I have a mortal name.

Call me Lingguang.

Lingguang?

Why?

I made a small mistake.

I was locked up and asked to repent by the Great Floral Fairy.

But, I escaped.

After much careful thought, I decided this is the safest place.

The Great Floral Fairy will never find me here.

I see.

Then, do you have a place to stay?

Do you need me to find one for you?

Never mind. I've got one.

Fish Fairy did everything for me.

Fish Fairy?

When did the Heaven Realm have this position?

It's the Night Immortal. He's a very nice guy.

It's he who helped me escape.

He even found a house for me.

But, he's gone back to the Heaven Realm.

Oh right. You're free anyway.

Why don't I bring you to visit my house?

It's not as colorful as the Floral Realm,

or as elegant as the Heaven Realm,

but it is special.

-Great. Let's go. -Come on.

LUOXIANG MANSION

Are you paying respects to Zifen?

Can you pour me a cup of wine too?

Thank you.

Zifen loved Osmanthus wine the most.

All these years,

I've been dreaming about her.

In my dream, she was still the old her.

Smiling,

but with tears in her eyes.

The past has passed. There's no use bringing it up.

May I know why you are here, Your Majesty?

The Heavenly Empress' birthday is in a few days' time.

I know that you and Linxiu are indifferent to fame,

nor do you like crowded places,

but the Heavenly Empress is very sensitive.

She might think you are upset with her.

All the immortals have been talking behind our backs as well.

So I hope that at her birthday banquet, in a few days,

you and Linxiu will be there no matter what.

Since you have personally come to invite me,

Lin Xiu and I will definitely go.

Okay.

You two

have kept my son waiting for long.

The marriage was arranged 4000 years ago,

but where is your daughter?

What? Mother went to Floral Realm to look for Jinmi?

But, what was unexpected was that Jinmi wasn't in the Floral Realm.

Even the Great Floral Fairy couldn't find her.

What did you say? Jinmi has gone missing?

Your Highness, you've just recovered. Don't get too agitated.

Jinmi...

Is Jinmi that important to you?

Floral Immortals, you can't come in. You can't...

Your Highness, they insisted to barge in.

Your Highness. I was unable to stop them.

You're done here. You may leave.

-Yes. -Yes.

Greetings, Great Floral Fairy.

You came here in such a rush,

may I know what is so important?

Fire Immortal, please hand over Jinmi.

I think you've misunderstood.

Jinmi is not in Qiwu Palace.

Jinmi suddenly disappeared from the Water Mirror.

Besides you, I can't think of anyone who is able to take her away.

Jinmi is from the Floral Realm.

If you've taken her,

please return her to us.

Since I promised you

I wouldn't see her in the Floral Realm anymore,

I would never break my promise.

I was just about to look for her, since I've also just learnt that

she's missing.

We've all agreed that

it was the Fire Immortal who took Jinmi away.

Nonsense!

You lost a person from the Floral Realm, yet you come here to the Heaven Realm

and blame Xufeng?

The person you're looking for is not here.

Even if you bring this to the Heavenly Emperor,

the answer's still the same.

Please leave, Great Floral Fairy.

As for Jinmi, I'll find her.
