"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 19

Great Immortal, the God of Fire wants to meet you.

Please.

No. I have to go back.

Military orders can't be disobeyed. Don't act recklessly.

Why does she suffer from undeserved misfortune when I'm not by her side?

Who did it this time?

Jinmi experiencing hardships to get promoted is Heavenly Emperor's order,

which is imperative.

It's useless for you to go back now.

You may listen to Yuanji's explanation.

Your Highness.

-Greetings, Miss Fairy. -Jiji.

Honghong, are you going to change your job and join the army?

The head of an army can be changed,

but an ordinary person's ambition is unswerving.

To be a matchmaker is my lifelong ambition.

How can I quit it halfway?

Then are you going to make a match between fairies and demons?

But in the army,

there are only men.

I heard that today at the Empyrean Cloud Palace,

Fairy Yuanji, you showed your deduction skill in public.

Well... It's not a big deal.

But it is matter of destiny.

And it is also about Fairy Jinmi's fairy foundation.

So I had to tell the truth.

Do you know the consequences of inaccurate deduction, Fairy Yuanji?

I definitely know.

But because of my duties, I don't dare to make any mistakes.

I wonder what numerology you have arranged for Jinmi

in her hardship experiences in the Human Realm?

-Well... -What kind of hardship?

What kind of fate? How are her parents? What kind of family?

What kind of people does she interact with daily?

How long will the experience last?

Are there detailed items for these arrangements?

Well...

Every human being has to suffer seven sorrows,

including birth, senility, sickness, death,

being together with the despised ones, not getting what one wants,

and being apart from the loved ones.

Well... I hope you can understand and forgive me, Your Highness.

Since it's experiencing hardships,

Fairy Jinmi should suffer all the...

suffer as much as possible.

If she can suffer

all of the seven sorrows...

I will give Jinmi a good husband. Don't worry, Xufeng.

Who do you want Jinmi to love and be apart from?

No way.

Or let's arrange

a lone-star fate for Jinmi,

with the identity of a nun and discarding the worldly affairs.

-What do you think, Your Highness? -No.

If she really realizes something, who can be responsible for this?

Then let her be a male?

No.

How could you think of this?

I have an idea.

There is a family called Saint Doctor Family.

They are good at making medicine.

To pray for their King's long life with pure souls is their pursuit.

Therefore, in their family,

there are only virgins females.

Not to mention strangers,

they can't even see any unknown birds or bugs.

Occasionally when they go outside,

they will take back and raise those abandoned baby girls

to make their family last.

This family imposes extremely demanding requirements on the saint girls.

They can't show their face to males all their life.

They can't get married, let alone being apart from the loved ones.

Then...

let's arrange this for the time being.

This mother and son are so annoying.

Are you going to obey Heavenly Empress or Xufeng?

In charge of arranging human beings' fates,

I rank low but I have great power.

If I submit to those with strong power easily,

how can I keep my job?

I will definitely perform

-Heavenly Emperor's order. -Great integrity.

They have Heavenly Emperor to support them.

I can't afford to displease these two immortals.

Fortunately, I can adjust to the changing circumstances,

coming up with a solution that satisfies both sides.

What solution?

The fate I arranged for Fairy Jinmi is the most miserable one

in the Saint Doctor Family.

I'm sure it can satisfy Heavenly Empress and make God of Fire feel relieved.

Great idea.

Now here is finally the chance

for me to show my capabilities.

Are you going to be a tailor again?

It's for making a match for Jinmi who is going to experience hardships.

Darn!

Heavenly Empress goes beyond her business to meddle in my job.

Xufeng wants to decide for himself. How can they?

They can only intervene fairies and immortals' affairs.

But the marriage of human beings is managed by me.

This time, Jinmi is only not allowed to suffer the sorrow

of being apart from her loved ones.

But except the sorrow of being apart from the loved ones,

if she is to experience some heartbreaking tragic romance,

we are not to blame. Right?

Exactly.

We are innocent.

It's okay. There are only seven sorrows.

Sorrows like birth, senility, sickness, death and being apart from the loved ones

are much easier than the 81 difficulties.

Am I right?

Daddy, did I say something wrong?

Master gave us a hint, but she didn't say it directly.

I didn't expect what she said would become true now.

Although you'll suffer a lot when you go to experience hardships in the Human Realm,

it's a good thing

if it can resolve the disaster and consolidate your power.

Don't worry, Mister Immortal.

Experiencing hardships in the Human Realm only lasts dozens of days.

Mi is my future wife.

I cannot interfere with her experience,

but I'm willing to go to the Human Realm to accompany her,

living the life in the Human Realm together.

The person trespassing Qiwu Palace without notice turns out to be you.

What's the reason for you to come here?

Immortal Jinmi.

-Senior Liaoting... -I don't deserve it, Immortal.

When you worked at Qiwu Palace, you never called me that.

Now you are already an immortal.

So don't be so courteous.

What's more, you have already been engaged with someone else.

So please stop disturbing His Highness.

We are always the pupils of the same master.

You, Liaoting, me, Feixu and Phoenix,

we are always family.

Don't try to desert me.

What are you doing here?

This is the osmanthus wine I made myself.

I was going to give a reception in honor of him with this wine

when he comes back from the battle.

But I am going to experience hardships in the Human Realm.

I don't know when I can come back.

So I bring the wine here from the Floral Realm.

If Phoenix comes back earlier than me,

remember to tell him that I buried the osmanthus wine here.

You still have a conscience.

Don't worry.

His Highness will definitely wait for you to come back and then drink the wine.

You are good at nothing.

-It's OK. Let's do it together. -It's buried improperly.

Your Highness.

The lords of West City and North City haven't taken any unusual actions.

They both have already withdrawn the army.

Got it.

Today is the day for Jinmi to go to the Human Realm.

I hope that I still have time to say goodbye.

This time the Demon Realm didn't attempt to invade the Heavenly Realm.

It's just an internal battle for territory.

Your Highness, you were right. I really admire you.

This place is not far from the territory of the King of Bian City.

Liu Ying's hidden guards have also slipped into the military camps of both sides.

If there is really something abnormal, the King of Bian City won't ignore it.

Pass along my order.

Order Mister Pojun to lead the Right Army

to continue stationing and making supervision.

With him being here, I feel relieved.

You lead the main force and withdraw.

I'm going back to report to Father.

Yes, Your Highness.

Take care, daddy. I will be back soon.

Fairy Jinmi, please.

You will meet each other soon.

But you will have to bid farewell finally.

Rou Rou, can we really meet each other again?

I guess I will be back

when Phoenix finishes drinking the osmanthus wine.

Jinmi.

Take care. After we say goodbye,

I don't know when we will see each other again.

Don't worry. I will be back soon.

Jinmi. Farewell.

Farewell?

Being late will make big difference in your fate,

and it will also affect the quality of experiencing hardships.

Life is short. It's just a blink of an eye.

Jumping into this Cause and Effect Sinning Plate,

you will come back soon and become a new person.

Your Highness, you're back finally.

Your Highness, I saw a shadow slip into the Zifang Cloud Palace.

I thought he was Rat Fairy's fellow.

So I followed him to the side hall of the palace.

-Unexpectedly... -Is Mother in danger?

Her Majesty is fine.

But I unintentionally heard the conversation

between that man and Her Majesty.

It turns out that Her Majesty deliberately sent you to Wangchuan River,

intending to take advantage of your unpreparedness to...

to kill Jinmi in the Human Realm.

QIWU PALACE

-I'm going to the Human Realm. -Step aside.

It's in curfew now. Please understand, Your Highness.

Xufeng, why are you so late?

-You couldn't even say goodbye to Jinmi. -Where is she now?

She's gone to the Human Realm.

-Tie me and Jinmi together. -Okay.

Your Majesty.

His Highness rushed to the Southern Heavenly Gate,

intending to go to the Human Realm.

Seeing it's in curfew, His Highness...

he went in the direction of the Cause and Effect Sinning Plate.

Compete with me?

Once you jump into the Cause and Effect Sinning Plate,

you won't be able to come back.

How can you compete with me?

Your Highness.

How can we cancel the experience?

She has gone. How can I cancel it?

Your Highness, Fairy Yuanji is just performing her duties.

Your Highness.

-Your Highness. -Xufeng.

Xufeng!

-Xufeng! -Your Highness!

Mr. Liaoyuan.

Take good care of Xufeng.

Fairy Yuanji.

I will definitely arrange a good fate for His Highness and Princess Suihe.

In the Human Realm,

His Highness will have his mind filled with knowledge

about statesmanship in terms of literature,

and be able to bring peace and stability to his country

with high prestige in terms of military affairs.

Princess Suihe will be beautiful and rich,

being loved by many people.

In short, I will let them live a smooth life in the Human Realm.

Good. It's good that you know what you should do.

Why am I so unlucky?

Why is it a girl?

What bad luck! Throw it away.

We can't afford to feed her.

Child, I'm so sorry.

I hope that God will answer my call

and find a good family for you.

No, it's wrong.

Since it's in autumn now, the handle of the Dipper should face the west.

Mi must have been born.

-Help me take it. -Okay.

Here you are. Dry it in the sun over there.

Here.

How about this one?

It's not bad.

Sure. No problem.

Cut it into pieces evenly.

Okay.

Help me hold it.

-Let me. -Thank you.

This is the medicine that has just been picked. Here you are.

Take this one and dry it in the sun over there.

Okay.

Let me check.

-It's OK now. -Slow down.

Take this one and dry it in the sun over there.

-Okay. -Take this.

Okay.

Categorize these herbs.

-This one is good. Take it. -Okay.

Let me check this.

-This one has almost been dried well. -Put it away.

Has the medicine been cooked? Slow down.

Good girl.

Right?

What? So cute.

-Is it a brother or a sister? -I don't know either.

I think it's a brother.

I think it's a sister. You?

Just guess. Is she beautiful like us?

She can't be as beautiful as we are.

Then let's go inside and have a look.

Okay.

What is this?

Look. It's an apple.

What's wrong?

Come.

Be good.

Drink the medicine.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

-Don't cry. -This child is so cute.

The Saint Doctor Family lives in a remote and quiet place,

which is regarded as a pure place.

It's good for her practice.

You check it out and see if there is anyone intervening in Jinmi's experience.

If everything is normal, then return to the Heavenly Realm.

This matter should be kept secret.

-Yes. -If there are any changes,

report to me quietly.

Your Majesty.

Are Suihe and Xufeng okay?

Your Majesty, they both are good,

having been born at the Palace of King Yi in the Human Realm.

Manage to restore Suihe's memory

so that they can take this opportunity to cultivate affection for each other.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What about Jinmi?

The Heavenly Emperor assigned Fairy Yuanji

to take care of Jinmi day and night.

I didn't have the chance to kill Jinmi.

Forget it.

Put it off for a few days in order to not let His Majesty catch hold of me.

Got it, Your Majesty.

Has your Killing Arrow been made?

Your Majesty,

the Killing Arrow is made from my blood and bones.

It takes much time to make it.

Please give me some more days.

More days?

All right. Then I will give you more days.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

JINMI

My name is Jinmi.

I'm an orphan.

I was adopted and have been raised up by my aunt from an early age.

Jinmi.

Why does it rain every time I collect herbs with you?

Why does it never rain when I go on my own?

I don't know, either.

I am so unlucky.

Qianghuo is my good friend.

When I was 12 years old,

the former Saint Girl was buried alive with the dead king.

The elders and aunts discussed with each other

and made me the new Saint Girl.

Qianghuo. I feel a little dizzy.

Jinmi, what's wrong with you? Are you poisoned?

Come here. Take a rest. I'll ask Auntie to save you.

Jin... Jinmi.

There is a bug on your body.

I'm calm and rational. I'm calm and rational.

It can be made into medicine.

You made my dress dirty. I must report this to Auntie.

I don't care whether you report this to her.

You scared me first!

Don't run.

Don't come over.

Qianghuo. Actually, I have a secret.

I can see fairies since childhood.

Are the fairies beautiful?

Yes, they are. Fairies are naturally beautiful.

They have strong magic power, right?

They have four heads and eight hands.

And they are as tall as the mountain.

Nonsense.

I'm serious. I can really see the fairies.

I don't believe it.

You must be kidding me.

You see them in your dreams, right?

You see them in your dreams.

I'm not like you. Always confused.

I can really see fairies.

She is standing in front of me and waving to me.

I don't believe it.

You must be kidding.

Believe it or not. Anyway, I can really see them.

I can see them since childhood.

Then tell me what they look like.

I...

Qianghuo, I was hit.

Yeah, I saw that.

I was hit by a potato.

Right.

How come potatoes grow on the tree?

I wonder why bad luck always happens to me.

But actually I am used to it now.

With Qianghuo as company, I struggled growing up.

I went to the Human Realm with my soul and observed for several days.

So far, Jinmi is fine.

She just often encounter some small setbacks.

But regardless of these setbacks, she is very happy and feels at ease.

She is still so heartless.

Fortunately, God of the Night can take advantage of his night shift

to quietly take care of Jinmi for us.

I'm still worried.

Our Floral Realm is free from the Heavenly Realm's regulation.

I can go and take care of her in the Human Realm.

Please feel relieved.

Jinmi experiencing hardships is Heavenly Emperor's order.

It's improper for you immortals to often show up in the Human Realm,

because it may give cause for gossip,

which instead will make it difficult for Jinmi.

From now on, I'm your eyes.

Let me protect Jinmi.

Xufeng is now in the Human Realm.

It's inevitable for him to suffer from the hardships of fighting in the battles.

As his biological mother, I really can't bear to see him suffer.

Your Majesty. His Highness is the God of Fire.

Even though he is now in the Human Realm as a human being,

his fate is incomparable.

I can't control the lucks in the Human Realm.

But I believe with strong power,

His Highness must be unbeatable

and change the misfortunes into fortunes.

If not for the sake of Xufeng's soul,

I can't wait to interrupt this hardship experience.

His Highness can accumulate merits and virtues in the Human Realm,

which is good for his practice.

You just say things that are pleasant.

What about Jinmi?

How is she?

Your Majesty, Jinmi is now in the Saint Doctor Family.

She is practicing identifying flowers and herbs.

What?

Identifying flowers and herbs?

What kind of hardship experience is that?

Your Majesty.

Her fate has been fixed.

It's not appropriate to intervene too much.

Fairy Yuanji.

Do you remember

why Six Stars of Sagittarius gave up being Xuanqing Jiuzhen Commander

and let you take this position?

It's just a slip of the tongue.

I must follow your orders, Your Majesty.

Very good.

I can't bear anything perfunctory.

Since it's a hardship experience,

one must experience the heartbreaking sufferings.

Otherwise, it will be a deceitful trick.

Your Majesty. I'm timid.

I have always followed the rules, doing what Heavenly Emperor requires.

Don't threaten me by mentioning the Heavenly Emperor.

He never said that he would not let Jinmi suffer.

I won't put you in an awkward situation.

I just want to teach you one sentence.

You can't be a fairy or immortal if you don't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Your Majesty, I will keep it in mind.

Good. You may leave now.

It's said that the world was in chaos and not unified.

People have been leading a precarious life

in an abyss of suffering,

until a young man appeared

and made vigorous efforts to save the world.

This young man is the present King Yi.

Where his long sword is, there is a gale,

stopping the fight without using military forces.

Bravo!

There are heroes in troubled times, but they can't be compared to King Yi.

The one who can unify the world and rescue people from dire straits

is the battle master, King Yi.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Jinmi, King Yi is really a big hero.

Millions died so that Caesar might be great.

In the rise or fall of the world, it's the ordinary people who suffer.

What did you say?

Nothing. I said that King Yi is a big hero.

He will definitely live a long life.

I have to be buried alive if he dies.

All right. It's late now. Let's go back.

Come on. Hurry up.

King Yi is man of striking appearance, able to wield both the pen and the sword.

-He is really the man of girls' dreams. -Wait.

But he is already engaged to Princess Nanping.

Turn round and round.

Be quick.

Turn round and round.

Be quick.

Auntie.

These days, you have been making medicinal meals with Qianghuo.

It's really hard work.

-Let me make the medicine. -Thanks for your kindness, Auntie.

By the way, I went to the pharmacy just now,

and found that a few herbs were missing.

Let me go to the Luoye Mountain with Qianghuo and collect some.

Really?

There must be a lot of fun and delicious food in the outside world.

Qianghuo.

You grew up with the Saint Girl.

Why haven't you learned from her in terms of the quality of being mellow?

Since the Saint Girl asks you to follow her and learn from her,

you should improve yourself. Assist the Saint Girl.

Look at you. You are so restless.

I think you shouldn't go with the Saint Girl.

Stay here and assist me in making medicine.

Auntie.

The Saint Girl shouldn't go outside to collect herbs alone.

And it takes several days.

It's okay.

Many other girls do not have the chance to assist Auntie.

Qianghuo. During this period,

you should work hard and learn from Auntie.

When I come back, you will improve.

And you will be able to assist me better.

Saint Girl, you're really thoughtful.

But it's really improper for you to go outside alone to collect herbs.

I grew up in these mountains. I can recognize all the paths.

You must know about this, Auntie.

If you let these little girls follow me,

when they are lost,

I will have to struggle to look for them. Am I right?

Sorry to bother you during these days, Auntie.

I will come back soon.

Okay. Be careful.

May King Yi have a long life.

May King Yi have a long life.

May King Yi have a long life.

That's right.

We are the Saint Doctor Family devoted to making medicine for King Yi.

However, I heard that the current King Yi is not an old man.

Instead, he is a young man.

But everything that he eats,

from a bowl of medicinal meal to the medicine for longevity,

is all made by us, Saint Doctor Family.

But this medicine for longevity is still in the process of continuous refinement.

This medicine should be made successfully as early as possible.

Otherwise...

Your Majesty.

Qintong. You lead the generals and soldiers and rest here for a few days.

I will finish hunting and come back soon.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. People from Liangguo.

Break through with me.
