"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 29

It seems that it's providence.

What providence?

Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing.

Nothing.

You haven't returned to the Heavenly Realm?

With your brilliant scheme,

I had so much fun.

I really want to talk to you.

How did you come up with such a brilliant scheme?

Experience is the best teacher.

Although I have made matches for others for many years,

what I know about love is purely theoretical.

And I have few chances to dig into it.

I really feel ashamed.

For this matter,

I have to pick your brain.

No problem.

I've heard the osmanthus wine of a wine shop

is very tasty and famous.

What about catching up while drinking?

Okay.

I think we're very congenial.

Let's catch up tonight.

But...

let me look at Xufeng first.

He is busy with public affairs. Nothing's interesting about him.

Besides, he is now a human being.

You can't talk to him.

It's better to drink wine with me.

In the Human Realm,

night hours in spring are extremely precious.

No. No. No.

You're wrong, Yanyou.

For human beings, the saying night hours in spring are extremely precious

is related to the spiritual practice.

It's not appropriate

to use it on us.

As for us, we should say

-beautiful night hours. -Right.

Beautiful night hours. Let's go.

YUNMENG LAKE

Young Lord.

You're getting more and more skilled.

And still so boring.

You're disobedient.

So disobedient.

So disobedient.

You...

So disobedient. So disobedient.

Why? Why?

So disobedient.

-So disobedient. -Master, what are you doing?

Stand up.

-Li is still young. Keep cool. -Do you think that I don't love him?

I give him good food and decent clothes,

teaching him to be a decent carp.

He just doesn't want to.

Instead, he wants to play in the mire.

Why? Why? Why?

Why? Why?

Why?

Why?

Go.

Li. Li. Li.

Promise me

you won't play in the mire again.

Okay? Don't lie to me.

If you lie, I'll punish you severely.

Got it?

Got it?

-Got it? -Master,

let Li leave now. I have something to report.

Okay? Go.

The other day, you promised me

that you'd bring back the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.

Have you got it?

I'm incompetent.

I couldn't bring it back.

What did you promise me that day?

You said that you would bring back the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow.

Why did you fool me?

You know that I hate being fooled by others.

I don't dare to fool you, Master.

Maybe it's providence.

Master, Xufeng is completely innocent.

Innocent?

Innocent?

He has a mother like that.

So he must pay for it.

I want his mother to feel the same pain of losing a son.

Now that you don't want to kill him,

I will do it by myself.

Tell me.

Where is the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow?

I'm going to take back the arrow

and kill Xufeng with it.

Foster mother is getting insane.

Tell me.

Where is the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow?

I know I was wrong.

I'm going to bring it back.

Will you really kill Xufeng for me?

Stand up. Stand up.

I'll trust you one more time.

If you let me down again,

I will punish you.

Remember.

You're a red carp from now on.

You're no longer a little green snake.

Got it, Li?

-Call me mom. -Mom.

Good boy.

You are a good boy, Li.

I won't let you suffer from injustice.

-Okay? -Okay.

Good boy.

You are a good boy, Li.

I got it.

Li.

That's my boy.

She can't keep being insane like this.

DUKE NANPING PALACE

Duke.

The princess hasn't eaten anything yet?

Not yet.

You may go.

Yes, my Lord.

My dear.

You should eat something.

Seeing you act like this, I really feel distressed.

Don't worry.

I have listed that Puchi as wanted in the whole city.

Tell me.

Do you want me to have his body cut off piece by piece

or make him torn into pieces by horses?

You can't catch him.

You are complaining about my ineffectiveness.

I didn't expect

Puchi was so cunning and shameless.

Maybe King Yi bought him off

and let him make such a drama.

It has nothing to do with Xufeng.

Okay. He is innocent.

Innocent.

Human beings are so foolish.

Dear,

what on earth can I do

to make you happy?

At present, I can only rely on him in the Human Realm.

Dad, you should know what I want.

I know.

But I'm confused.

Why did you go with that Puchi and ask

King Yi to offer you two a marriage permission?

Now King Yi has decreed the cancellation of your engagement.

It's completely settled.

What can I do?

I...

I'll find a solution. I will. Okay?

Eat something first, okay?

Be good.

Have a seat.

Come here!

Bring the meal for the princess.

I won't allow Suihe to continue being obsessed with King Yi like this.

Qichong, send this letter to Liangguo.

The sooner the better.

Yes, my Lord.

You're not kind to me. So don't blame me for being unjust.

You hurt Suihe's feelings so bad.

How can I spare you?

Liangguo will send out troops.

When you go to the battlefield,

you'll die.

ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL IN THE HOUSE

Your Majesty.

Saint Girl is taking a nap.

She is tired these days.

Next time, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Xufeng

made these phoenix lamps for Jinmi.

I need to talk.

What a coincidence!

I need to talk to you as well.

So we meet here,

it seems that we're thinking about the same thing.

Tell me.

Why did you try to get the Spirit-Vanishing Arrow?

And Rat Fairy has admitted

that it's him who used Magic Fireball to attack Xufeng that day

and denied that you were his fellow.

But I guess

he was just covering for you. Right?

What's your intention?

Your Highness,

could you please ask these questions one by one?

I'm overwhelmed by so many questions.

If you want to know all the answers,

come with me.

So? Are you afraid that I'll fool you?

Since you can relate Magic Fireballs to me,

you should know that I won't hurt you.

The answers you want

are under the Dongting Lake.

Don't you remember this place?

Should I remember?

Don't you think this place is very familiar?

I do feel that it's familiar.

Just...

Just why am I afraid?

It seems that

you're still not ready to uncover the mystery.

Why exactly

am I so flustered when approaching this place?

It's okay.

If you don't want to go down there, I won't force you.

Although there is no need to hurry at this moment,

it's not appropriate to put it off anymore.

If you are ready,

we'll enter the bottom of the lake.

All the answers will be revealed.

What did I do wrong?

Your Majesty, did you spoil the plan and say something wrong a few days ago

when you drank wine to boost your courage

to express your affection?

Tell me.

If your wife is not happy,

what will you do to cheer her up?

It depends on how unhappy she is.

If she's just a little unhappy,

then I'll buy some new stuff for her to make her happy.

If she's very unhappy...

What will you do?

Then I'll buy things that are more expensive.

Do you think the Saint Girl is an ordinary girl?

No, I don't.

You may go.

I'm leaving now.

Wait a minute.

Find me

things that are both new and expensive.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Now that you still have feelings for me,

why are you so cruel?

Liuying, we're on different paths.

You'll be better off without me.

LIUYING

You said you engraved this with my name.

You said you would never forget our past.

Liar!

Your Highness.

You are back.

Kuanglu,

do you remember the things that happened in your childhood?

Of course.

What about things that made you sad?

There was nothing that made me sad.

Even if I felt sad at that time,

now that I think about it,

it's actually not a big deal.

For fairies and immortals,

the most important thing is freedom and happiness.

You should think more about things that make you happy.

If I can really be like you,

it will be a good thing.

Your Highness.

Do you recall something that makes you sad?

Everyone has their own troubles.

Time is like prayer beads that are made from troubles.

Optimistic people

count the beads with a smile.

Although we may meet some setbacks,

we should confront them calmly.

Then we can welcome the bright future.

Kuanglu,

can you please

go with me to the Dongting Lake?

Dongting Lake?

Wherever you go,

I'll go with you.

What a beautiful place!

Why did we come here, Your Highness?

In this place,

there may be a past that I should face.

-You're not a red carp. -You can't play with us.

Leave!

-A monster with horns on its head. -Go.

-Go. -Leave Lize Pond right now.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Did you recall something?

LIZE POND

You seem to be very familiar with Dongting Lake.

Let's go.

No, please! Mom, please! No, please!

-Li! -No!

Cut the horns,

-and you will be just like them. -Mom, please.

No! No!

Mom.

Mom! Mom, please! No!

Your Highness. Are you okay?

Be good.

Mom, please don't...

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Yunmeng Pond.

This name is quite nice.

LIZE POND

Li. Li.

Go play with your friends.

Tell them

that you are a red carp.

You are not a little loong.

Go. Go.

Your Highness.

Your Highness?

What happened?

Yunmeng Pond...

Isn't it Lize Pond?

Your Highness. You're here finally.

Please.

Master, God of Night wants to meet you.

Lord Dongting.

Please accept my respect.

Why are you being so courteous, Mister Immortal?

I don't deserve it.

I'm just doing what I should. You deserve it, Miss Immortal.

I have some confusions.

I'm here to ask for your enlightenment.

I have stayed here for a long time,

isolated from the outside world.

I'm afraid I can't help you.

Recently, I got a piece of painting.

I heard that Lord Dongting is well-informed.

So I'm here to admire it with you.

Mom.

Could you please leave me and Lord Dongting alone?

I know little about paintings.

I'm afraid I'll let you down.

It's okay.

Then let me interpret this painting for you.

In this painting,

the string of Magic Fireballs on the woman's wrist

is a very precious treasure in the Heavenly Realm.

There are only two of them in the world.

Another string

was given by Heavenly Emperor to the Heavenly Empress as a wedding gift.

So the relationship between the woman in the painting and the Heavenly Emperor

must be very close.

"Suddenly a beauty derived from a red shark bead appears with susu sound,

I will never ever let her leave."

This poem conveys the pledge of one's eteranl love,

which is full of affection.

The two words at the end of the two lines can be combined to the name Suli.

The signature seal belongs to Lord Beichen,

which is the nickname of the Heavenly Emperor when he was young.

He only called himself this name in front of very close ones.

Few people knew this name.

For whom would Heavenly Emperor draw the portrait?

For whom would he write a poem

to express his affection with his nickname signature?

What's more,

when Rat Fairy was on trial

and he repeatedly mentioned the name of Suli,

Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress looked very strange.

Heavenly Empress is a jealous woman.

The relationship between Fairy Suli and the Heavenly Emperor

is very evident.

I have studied hard at the Xingjing Court since my childhood.

I can remember all the anecdotes of the people in the six realms

that are mentioned in the books.

Only the name Suli seems familiar

but leaves no impression on me.

It's just like my childhood memories,

which vanished completely.

It seems that

Fairy Suli

is an old acquaintance who was very important to me in my childhood.

Someone deliberately erased my childhood memories.

I forget all those things,

including this person

and this name.

Mister Immortal, your ability to overthink

and imagine

is so amazing.

Am I really overthinking?

Heavenly Emperor is from Loong Family, and he practices fire-related magics.

I'm from the Loong Family, too.

But I practice water-related magics.

So it can be inferred that

my biological mother must come from the Water Family.

Fairy Suli in this painting

is treading on the wave and catching fish.

So she's very likely to be a member of the Water Family.

And the shark beads mentioned in the poem

are derived from the tears of mermaids.

Coincidentally,

I also have a string of shark beads.

It has been with me since my childhood. I have always kept it with me.

Suli has been dead.

Why do you

keep talking about a dead person?

Rat Fairy chose to die on that day.

Seemingly he had planned

to avenge for the dead Fairy Suli.

And he did drive a wedge between Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress

and cause destruction to the Bird Family.

But as far as I'm concerned,

this scheme was short of orderliness and foresight.

It couldn't destroy Bird Family radically.

It's more like an act of escaping, running into danger

at the expense of Rat Fairy's life.

All in all,

the only reasonable explanation

is that Suli is not dead.

She's alive.

And she is the person behind the scenes,

saving power secretly

and scheming against

the Heavenly Realm again and again.

My son has finally grown up.

I have heard that God of Night is extremely smart.

Now I know you really are.

With only a piece of painting,

you can make a careful investigation

and make so many inferences.

So...

is what I said true or not?

Inferences are just inferences.

You are a prince.

Your parents, Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress...

Heavenly Empress is not my biological mother.

Just because I am the eldest son of Heavenly Emperor,

she does everything possible to take complete control over me.

During the thousands of years,

I've always missed my biological mother.

You may go, Mister Immortal.

Your mother has died

in the fire that happened in Lize Pond that year.

I thought...

that my mother did love me.

She had to give me up

under the unfavorable situation.

I know who the person in the painting is

and the meaning conveyed by the poems.

But I didn't expect that

my biological mother, who I miss everyday

would keep a distance from me,

seeing me as a stranger.

Is it because I'm too sentimental

or you're too heartless?

How is it possible that I don't love you?

But I have walked on a road with no way back.

There is no end to troubles.

Why are you so obsessed with it?

Now you have another child to accompany you and make you happy.

I don't want to badger you.

I just want to ask you a question.

If I am really a shame for you,

why did you insist on giving birth to me?

If you and father were in love with each other,

why did you torture me

and abandon me?

This scar is caused by your Magic Fireball.

This is the scar left

after you cut my scales.

Scales have grown on other parts of my skin.

Only this forbidden lamella

has become my lifelong wound

and pain.

Everyone knows

the forbidden lamella of a loong is untouchable.

I really can't imagine

what kind of hatred

would make you do this to me, your child.

Stop.

Stop, please!

Go away. Go away.

Go away!

The one who gave birth to me,

destroyed me

and abandoned me

is my mother.

I get hurt both physically and mentally.

I'm scarred.

It's because of you.

Today, I bow to you one more time

to repay you for giving birth to me.

I'm not your mother.

You're not my son.

I'm not your mother.

Go away.

Go away!

Li.

Li.

Li.

Li.

Li.
