"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 17

Today I will speak freely.

Reveal all the sins you committed.

Tuyao!

Since you become Heavenly Empress,

you have abused your power and influence to make bird tribe stronger and stronger.

The bird tribe has received 20,000 new male members this year.

I redivided the original states in Yimiao Continent

and appropriately promoted eight new generals

for the convenience in handling all the districts. What do you think, aunt?

Indulging Princess Sui He supporting those on your side,

killing those who're not on your side, using the army to consolidate your power.

The Floral Realm stopped providing food to the bird tribe for months.

And Heavenly Empress

signed the documents

to open the eight granaries of the Heavenly Realm for bird tribe.

Only because of the tolerance of Heavenly Emperor

can Floral Realm be so arrogant.

Issue my order. Open the eight granaries of the Heaven Realm.

I don't know that the Floral Realm stops providing food supplies?

Why didn't you tell me?

Your Majesty, you're already very busy.

Why should I mention this trivial thing to you?

I'm just sharing your worries, your Majesty.

How dare you! How can you hide this from me?

Who am I in your eyes?

There is something wrong in my behavior and I'm willing to be punished.

But my loyalty can be proved by the sun.

Mother did wrong unintentionally.

For the sake of her sincerity and loyalty,

I hope Father can forgive her.

Stand up.

You are skilled at flattering, killing gods and fairies.

And you allow the God of Fire

to use military forces arrogantly.

You have neither mother craft nor tolerance.

You're extremely sinister and ruthless. No one is like you.

As the head of the zodiac, I feel ashamed.

because I know about your sins but I didn't say or do anything to stop you.

Now I really can't bear to see you mess up the Heavenly Realm.

Today, even if I die for this,

I must act for justice.

Vent out the anger for those who were killed innocently.

You!

I did attempt to kill God of Fire on the night of his rebirth in Nirvana,

just to make you childless, making you feel the pain of mourning.

The rat on your birthday banquet was released by me on purpose.

I have already known Fairy Jinmi is the daughter of Water Immortal.

I deliberately made a mess, making you lose your temper.

If not so, how can I make others know

that you are narrow-minded, cruel and sinister?

If not so,

how can I force Water Immortal to be irreconcilable with you?

If not so, how can I make the Floral Realm confront you?

Do you know that to defame and hurt immortals is the sin of destroying soul?

For the sake of justice, I don't fear death.

Why do you use death to make me feared?

Wherther I act for justice or not,

everyone has their judgment.

May I ask you a question, your Majesty?

Do you remember why the Floral Realm rebelled against the Heavenly Realm?

Do you still remember Lize Suli?

Shut up! I won't let you make mischief here.

The evil influence of Suli is still lingering on.

This case is clear at a glance.

Fairy Rat has evil intent. He attempted to hurt God of Fire,

offenced Heavenly Empress and provoked the Immortals.

These crimes are all unforgivable.

Since that you have confessed your crimes, you should be punished.

I knew it.

You are all birds of a feather.

I can't work for Master any longer.

Master will be committed to your care.

Lord Dongting,

take care.

Your Majesty.

This Rat Fairy is just a trivial fairy.

How can he cause such a mess?

His must have fellows.

-And Water Immortal and Suli... -Enough.

Heavenly Empress, let's stop.

Water Immortal has always stood aloof from worldly strife.

Moreover,

God of the Night and Jinmi have already been engaged.

So he is the relative by marriage.

How can he collude with the Rat Fairy?

Since that the sinful rat has been punished,

-God of Fire! -Yes, Father.

Conclude the case.

Yes, Father.

Runyu.

You have been wronged during this period of time.

Now the truth is clear.

You're proven to be innocent.

Thanks, Father.

Stand up.

Water Immortal,

I like Jinmi very much.

Although she's not my biological daughter,

I have already considered her as my child.

I suggest to make the arrangement for the wedding early.

Let her and Runyu get married formally.

-Father. -Your Majesty,

my daughter is still weak in terms of magic prowess.

She hasn't been promoted to a celestial being.

I'm afraid that she's not a good match for God of the Night.

Water Immortal. What do you mean?

The rat made mischieves to provoke the friendship between you and me.

I don't believe him at all.

You shouldn't walk into the trap of his provocative plan.

Father, please let me say something.

Mi and Water Immortal started to know each other recently.

They haven't enjoyed the happiness of family.

It's reasonable for him

to be reluctant to let Mi get married.

I think it's better to make Mi stay unmarried for some more time.

First, Mi can accompany Water Immortal,

in order to perform filial piety.

Second, there're a lot of rules in the Heavenly Realm.

I'm afraid that Mi is not able to adjust to the life here in the beginning.

Please let me teach and guide her gradually,

so that she won't disobey the rules of the Heavenly Realm.

Third, Father and Water Immortal have co-existed,

friendship lasted thousands of years.

We are in love with each other.

We won't marry anyone else.

The two families have long been like a family.

This marriage is late or early, actually, it doesn't matter.

OK.

Then do what you want.

God of the Night has a beautiful and young wife.

Also related to a worshipped and powerful god.

Congratulations.

Xufeng is also your son. You must be fair.

Xufeng also reached the age for marriage,

He and Sui He are also in love with each other.

Mother.

The rat rebelled and hurt God of Fire. There must be some reasons.

I think you still have to cultivate yourself

and make fortune for our young generations.

First, make effort to manage the inner palace and take care of your bird tribe.

Xufeng.

It's dawn now.

Right. So tired.

You look full of energy.

-You really are God of the Night. -I'm used to it.

By the way.

Do you know who Suli is?

No.

Just now, at the main hall when Fairy Rat mentioned this name,

the reaction of Father and Mother was too intense.

You are right. Father unexpectedly punished Fairy Rat on the spot

and hastily concluded the case.

It's really strange.

Suli, this name sounds familiar.

But I can't remember it.

I'm afraid that it's a romantic debt on the father's account.

And it's a big one.

Think about it.

There are just two magic fireballs in total.

One is given as a wedding gift to Mother on Father and Mother's wedding day.

I didn't expect this Suli also had one. It's not simple.

I'm not interested in these facts about my father.

If you're interested, you can think over it. I'm going to the drill ground.

I know that you can't let go of Jinmi.

But whether Jinmi likes you or not,

you can't be together.

What do you mean?

If I tell the cause of death of the Floral Goddess,

he won't believe. Instead, he will rebel.

It will be difficult to make him listen.

Jinmi's mother, the Floral Goddess Zifen

seemed to have some grudges against Mother.

Even if without me,

Water Immortal won't let you two be together.

What are their enmities?

You saw it at the main hall.

Mother kept dragging me and Water Immortal into the mire,

nearly disobeying the rules of the Heavenly Realm.

In order to appease Water Immortal,

Father put me and Jinmi's wedding on the agenda.

Not to mention that you are Heavenly Empress's son.

Even it's me,

Water Immortal was not so satisfied.

Your skill of retreating in order to advance was really smart.

I must admit with regret that I'm not as smart as you.

But don't forget

that although Mother is very strict,

she is familiar with the laws and rules of the Heavenly Realm.

How is it possible that she would disobey the rules?

Rumors are mostly untrustworthy.

In these years,

both you and I know how mean Mother is.

She can't tolerate any imperfection.

How can she let go of her dissidents?

That's all I want to say. Believe it or not.

I will ask Mother about this.

Xufeng.

No matter what happens,

we are still brothers.

I really don't want to see

that you are getting deeper and deeper in the hopeless love.

Your good intentions are accepted.

But I won't let go of Jinmi.

Everyone knows that I'm engaged with Jinmi.

No matter what you think you should mind your words and your behaviors.

Don't bring troubles to her.

That depends on Jinmi.

Your Highness.

Your Highness. Mr. Po Jun reported just now.

What?

"Zi Fang Yun Palace"

Mother.

You had a rough night yesterday. Why don't you take a good rest.

You shouldn't have come so early to give me greetings.

I'm not tired.

I'm here to ask you something, Mother.

And I hope that Mother can tell me the truth.

What do you want to ask?

It's said that Mother and the Floral Goddess were enemies.

The Fairy Rat said you killed gods and fairies.

What on earth...

It turns out that you came so early just to question me, right?

-I dare not. -What kind of person the Fairy Rat is?

You shouldn't believe his words.

Killing gods is a big sin in Heavenly Realm.

Just because of his provoking words,

you came to question your biological mother.

In your eyes, I am such a vicious woman.

Please forgive me, Mother. It's just because I'm concerned about you.

I'm not angry with you.

We are family.

There is just something that really hurts my feelings.

Your Father,

believes easily in the rat's words and make Runyu superior than you.

He just cares about the marriage of Runyu.

He doesn't care about your marriage at all.

Mother.

I have said that I only consider Sui He as my sister.

-I have no affection for her. -Why?

Is there only Jinmi in your heart?

Now Jinmi has already been Runyu's fiancée.

Do you want to fight with your brother for a woman?

It's not proper.

What's wrong with Sui He?

She holds the power of the bird tribe.

Now Runyu has got the advantage of Water Immortal and the Floral Realm.

Only if you marry Suihe,

then you can steadily become the future Heavenly Emperor.

I have never thought about replacing Father.

The things about Fairy Rat

have made Father very dissatisfied with you.

Also...

I found in Fairy Rat's Jiazi Mansion

a thief turned into black smoke and disappeared.

According to my subordinates,

the thief sneaked into Mother's palace.

To privately keep guards is a taboo of Father.

I hope that Mother will punish him early.

And mind your words and behavior.

Don't make Father angry again.

I'm leaving now, Mother.

You are good for nothing.

Two things.

Go check real reason of Floral Goddess's death four thousand years ago.

And investigate

a person called Suli.

Yes, Your Highness.

Do you have any wishes?

My heart is dead

and I have no home.

The place that makes me feel peace is my home.

The place that makes me feel peace is my home.

But where is the place that makes me feel peace?

This heaven is not suitable for long stay.

Fairy Rat.

You failed to keep the appointment.

Did you leave any tracks when attacking the God of Fire?

I lost one Magic fireball.

Let me handle it.

You shouldn't get involved in this thing any more.

Never ever.

If something bad happens to you, how can I explain to Master?

Be sure to tell Master.

Be patient.

Success will come when you take it easy.

Luolin.

You must know why I'm here to meet you.

His Majesty spoke for me at the main hall.

You still don't believe in me,

thinking that I colluded with the Fairy Rat.

I want to hear from you in person.

What exactly do you know?

I know as much as you, Your Majesty.

But as far as I know,

Fairy Rat has been very close to you in Heavenly Realm.

You two often played chess.

Haven't you talked about something else?

If he wanted to tell me something,

maybe I could have recognized Jinmi earlier

and known what Zifen suffered.

Although Fairy Rat had other intentions,

Your Majesty shouldn't have executed him so hastily.

He said too much.

I can't ignore the face of the Heavenly family.

Just for face,

so you can ignore the right and wrong?

Luolin.

Although you choose to avoid the worldly things,

you should understand I care about you and I trust you.

I hope you won't disappoint me.

A little higher. A little higher.

Then you will fall.

I'm not scared.

Father will protect me if I fall.

WATER MIRROR

Jinmi.

See. What did I say? I said father would catch me. See!

You scared me to death.

You shouldn't make such a joke no matter how much you trust me.

What if something goes wrong?

Got it.

Today, Linxiu and I will say thank you to you both.

For so many years,

I haven't fulfilled any duty of a father.

I owe Jinmi a lot.

Thanks to your care and accompany,

she can grow up safely.

I'm very grateful.

Great Floral Fairy.

Since the birth of Mi,

she has relied on your care.

Today, Luolin and I use tea instead of wine to salute you.

Taking care of the young master is my responsibility.

Jinmi. I discussed with them,

saying that you just recovered, it's not suitable for long travel.

When the mess ends in Heavenly Realm, and when you become stronger,

you can move to Luo Xiang Mansion.

During this period, I will ask them to move to the Floral Realm

and take care of you together. OK?

Really, Great Floral Fairy?

We move to the Floral Realm to take care of you together.

And we can also help you to practice your magic prowess.

That's good. I can cook for Mi.

Really, Aunt Linxiu? That's great.

Then I don't have to envy Lianqiao any more.

In the past, Liaoqiao's mom often cook for Lianqiao, making my mouth water.

Now, it's good. I have Aunt Linxiu to cook for me.

I don't have to let my mouth water in front of her mother's meal.

Right?

Mi, try it.

This is what I personally made. Eat while it's hot.

Don't be afraid.

Everyone knows that my cooking is not good.

But the flower cake I make is worth a try.

Try it.

It's delicious.

Aunt Linxiu, I didn't expect the flower cake you made is so delicious.

More delicious than the flower cake I make.

You are really like your mother.

Both of you like flower cakes so much.

But your personalities are completely different.

Your mother is water hibiscus, easy to feel sorrow.

And you are wood hibiscus, ready to feel happy.

Aunt Linxiu. Please tell me about my mother's stories.

I don't dare to ask my father.

I am afraid that if I ask him, he will be sad.

From the moment your mother was discovered by your father,

many things had already been doomed.

Master. Master.

Master.

What is it?

I discovered this little doll in the mountain forest.

Please save her life.

It's not a little doll.

She is a lotus flower in front of the Buddha seat

and fell into the cause and effect reincarnation roulette by mistake.

The light of the ambassador buddha was out.

And then she fell into my San Dao Shi continent

in the gap between the light.

Her soul is supposed to be dead.

To save her soul...

Luolin, you have compassion for everything in the world,

but you should know that everything has its natural rules.

Opportunity is destinated. If you disobey the rules, bad things will happen.

Master.

If you can save her soul, I'm willing to bear the result of this counterattack.

Then what?

Later,

we three together practiced magics in the San Dao Shi continent.

"Supreme Clarity Heaven"

Master asked me to take charge of the wind.

Luolin was in charge of water.

Zifen was in charge of flowers.

At leisure time, under the moonlight,

your mother controlled flowers, I controlled the wind

and your father controlled the snow.

That was veritable wind, flower, snow and moon.

Aunt Linxiu. Three of you grew up together.

It's so envious.

But...

But why did my mother fall in love with the Heavenly Emperor?

Father is so good.

Our amorous Heavenly Emperor is undoubtedly brilliant.

At that time, he was still the second son of the former Heavenly Emperor.

One day he walked into the Taixu Realm in his dreams.

Seeing Zifen, he's so surprised that she's so beautiful.

Then he grew affection for Zifen.

And he swore that he would find this girl.

Therefore, he searched the six realms.

In his laborious pursue,

he finally found Zifen...

who was listening to drama in the Human Realm.

I picked a folded willow

in the garden

Since you are well read

Let's go back.

It turns out that the one that I love and can't find

is the legendary Floral Goddess who is distant toward others.

Later, he learned that Zifen was interested in listening to dramas.

So he often invited Zifen to listen to dramas.

In the drama, lovers are in pairs.

Outside the dramas, he was very loving.

Zifen didn't experience much and she was simple.

So she fell in love with him after some time.

The reason why one falls in love, is the reason why he or she grows hatred.

She didn't know that falling deeply in love

but unable to be together with the loved one

is a nightmare.

In spite of the fine time and fine view

There's no mood to appreciate...

Aunt Linxiu, I didn't expect that you can sing opera.

And you sing so well.

Because your mother loved opera.

So I have learned it over time.

My friendship with your mother is no less than that of your father.

Aunt Linxiu.

I know how you feel.

I used to have a best friend.

It's also very painful for me when she left.

So I know how you feel.

But don't worry.

Although my mother is gone,

I will accompany you and dad every day.

Zifen and I are like sisters.

From now on, you are my daughter.

By the way, can you recite the Formless Heart Sutra well?

Yeah... Yes, very well.

OK, then recite it tomorrow morning in front of me.

Rest now.

Aunt Linxiu, take care.

Rest early.

BRAHMA SPELL

Phoenix.

Just one short Brahma Spell

is so difficult for you.

There are 49 entries in total. You can only recite 5 of them correctly.

It's really not easy.

I used to feel that it's bitter to be the page boy of Phoenix.

I didn't expect that it's also not easy to be a daughter.

Even Aunt Linxiu, who is so gentle

can be more strict than Phoenix when teaching magics.

How? Mi is complaining.

Dad. When did you come here?

Dad, have you ever thought

that maybe your daughter is not good for practising magics?

Mi...

I ask you to practice not because I want you to make me proud.

It's very hard.

But it can cultivate your temperament.

I don't want you to become a greenhouse flower.

Nowadays, I'm with you.

You can depend on me.

But one day,

I will be gone.

I can't protect you forever.

Dad. Please don't say this. I don't want to listen.

You have to go through many difficulties and hardships to be successful.

Only after experiencing difficulties and hardships can you get great achievements.

What I ask you to cultivate is the ability to distinguish between right and wrong,

self-esteem, self-love and self-improvement.

In the future, you will walk between heaven and earth freely.

You will have a clear conscience.

You won't bend and lean over anyone.

I hope you can understand my good intentions in the future.

What are you thinking?

Some old times with Zifen.

Linxiu.

-What kind of man do you like? -I have never thought about it.

-Really? -Really. Why should I lie to you?

Have you never thought about

what kind of man you would marry? With whom you want be together forever?

I have the companion of you and the senior fellow apprentice. It's enough.

Then you like the senior fellow apprentice.

Don't talk nonsense.

The senior fellow apprentice is very handsome.

There is almost no one in Heavenly Realm who can compare with him,

in terms of appearance and brilliance.

You don't like him?

How about you? Do you like him?

I don't know.

Push me.

Hurry up. Push me a little higher.

I'm coming.

Then you must be careful. Don't fall.

-Higher! -OK.

Zifen!

I said before.

The personalities of Mi and Zifen were different.

But when thinking it over,

there are many similarities between them.

I nearly forgot

that sometimes Zifen wouldn't be so serious.

Time flies.

It's a pity that Zifen died too early.

Fortunately,

we still have these...

happy memories.

I used to think innocently

that we three can be together forever,

living a happy life.

But fortunately, she left Jinmi to us.

Everything is changing. For thousands of years,

I haven't fulfilled any responsibility of being a father.

I really feel guilty.

There's still time.

We still have a lot of time to accompany Mi.

I believe you are a good father.

I can do anything for my daughter.

Tomorrow,

I will take her to see Master.

How does the green lotus lack a flap?

Mi.

Master.

Immortal.

Stand up.

-Thanks, Master. -Thanks, Immortal.

So she is the daughter of you and Zifen.

Yes, she is.

Master,

please remove the Jialan Seal on my daughter.

I come here so suddenly. I hope Master can forgive me.

It will be in vain.

Can't the seal be removed?

If so, I won't be able to improve my magic prowess.

Then what about Rourou?

Master, please give me clear explanation.

For the one who is dying,

it doesn't matter whether the seal is removed or not.

Master, you are compassionate,

saving the world in danger.

I beg you.

Please save my daughter's life.

To save a life doesn't mean compassion.

To save one hundred lives doesn't mean compassion.

To save all beings does mean compassion.

A tiger in the mountain that is seriously injured and dying.

Save it or not?

Of course, yes.

The tiger recovers and comes back to the mountain,

catching deers and eating weak rabbits.

Therefore, saving a life is to hurt hundreds of lives.

Without witness, compassion can hurt living beings.

Jinmi is pure and simple.

She definitely won't hurt others. Please consider it, Master.

As one of the Immortals in the six realms, I am making a wish today.

Master, please help Jinmi survive this.

Luolin will repay and help the beings in hardships.

To live doesn't mean being alive.

To die doesn't mean being dead.

The appearance comes from the heart.

Everything in the world is just outer shapes.

When the heart doesn't feel, everything won't move.

When the heart remains unchanged,

everything won't change.

Jinmi. Come here.

Love produces worries and fears.

Without love, you will be free from worries and fears.

May this help you survive the hardship.

Thank you, Immortal

Immortal, I heard that

you are the Great Immortal with strong magic prowess.

I have been looking for you for a long time.

In order to see you, I practice hard every day.

I have accumulated a lot of magic prowess.

Can you do me a favor?

This is my best friend. Her name is Rourou.

Can you save her?

You will soon meet each other.

But you will say goodbye finally.

Really?

Thank you, Immortal.

As long as I can see her, I have nothing to ask for.

My daughter is being rude.

Master, please remove the seal on her.
