"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 37

[QIZHENG HALL] According to Her Majesty's instructions,

Your Highness, when you're in mourning,

you can stay in Xuanji Palace

and don't need to be on night duty for the star arrangement.

-Yes. -Her Majesty shows concern for you,

so we're specially ordered to bring you

two kinds of different mourning dresses for selection.

Put them down.

Her Majesty said you can decide to choose

that of the Heavenly Realm, or that of the Arowana Family,

and then we need to take the other back.

According to the custom of the Arowana Family,

I should wear the funeral raw jute clothing

to mourn for my mother.

Her Majesty loves you dearly.

The raw jute cloth is rough. You're delicate, so you can't bear it.

The funeral linen clothing of the Heavenly Realm is more suitable.

You're supposed to resist against the Heavenly Empress

and the Bird Family afterwards.

We have to go back and report to Her Majesty.

We take our leave.

Is it a mourning rule in the Heavenly Realm

to throw away the funeral clothing?

Why is the first Prince angry?

As ruled in the Heavenly Realm,

one has to wear the funeral linen clothing when observing mourning.

But in our family,

the funeral raw jute clothing should be worn.

So he made the wrong choice?

I'm useless.

Don't blame yourself.

Keep filial piety in your heart.

Your mother knew that.

It's very hard for you to observe mourning for her

while under the great pressure of the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.

I believe she would smile in the underworld.

It's far from enough.

I won't settle down if I don't avenge my mother.

Why not leave everything behind

-and come away with Li and me? -Well...

Now,

I'm afraid it's an extravagant hope to be as unworldly as wild stock.

What's your plan for the future?

No haste, be patient.

Your mother once asked me to give this to you

if the situation changed.

What's in it?

I have never opened it.

Check it yourself.

THE REAL DRAGON AND THE SON OF HEAVEN

FORCE DEPLOYMENT MAP OF THE BIRD FAMILY ON YIMIAO ISLAND

Your Majesty,

the first Prince chose the funeral linen clothing.

You can leave.

Yes.

Auntie, you're a genius.

You sound Night Immortal out with the funeral clothing.

Now you know whether he follows the Heavenly Realm

or the Arowana Family.

He is smart,

loyal and sensible.

Don't underestimate him.

When he was young,

he scaled himself cruelly

and dared to take the Fumeng Elixir I gave him.

He was devastated when Suli died.

I'm sure that he won't leave the matter at that.

But, he is His Majesty's son.

I won't go too far.

I just sounded him out as a warning.

Auntie, you're circumspect and farsighted.

I must learn more from you.

It's Match-Maker's birthday today.

Send my gift to him.

Yes.

HOUSE OF MARRIAGE

Mr. Immortal, we come to celebrate your birthday.

May your fortune be as boundless as the East Sea.

May you live as long a life as the pine tree in the Southern Mountain.

The same congratulations.

Are you blind?

I'm young with delicate features.

Don't compare me to the wrinkled old pine tree

-in the Southern Mountain. -Yes.

What's this?

His Highness is still grounded within the palace

in order to reflect on his misdeeds,

so he ordered us to present the birthday gift.

You gave an irrelevant answer.

I asked you what it was, but you talked rubbish.

Forget it. You can leave.

Mr. Immortal, we're leaving.

It's a brilliant idea to collect those treasures.

I'm flattered. It's to cater to Match-Maker's pleasure.

These are the most fashionable storytelling scripts in the Human Realm.

Match-Maker must be happy.

I don't praise you.

It seems you ignored your proper occupation in the mortal world,

and always ran irrelevant businesses with your friends.

If you hadn't hindered me,

I...

I would have pacified the world

and created a flourishing age in the mortal world.

-Sorry. -But...

You indeed became smarter after the experience in the mortal world.

I'm praising you.

AN EXOTIC MAP OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Mr. Immortal.

Jinmi, here you are.

Mr. Immortal, you made a mistake again.

I'm not Fairy Jinmi.

Kuanglu.

What's up?

Why do you have a nosebleed?

I get inflammation.

Come. Xufeng sent a box of pornographic scripts.

They're new.

Let's read them together.

Well, I come to you for something else.

His Highness can't go out as he's mourning his mother,

so he ordered me to come and celebrate your birthday.

May you be young forever.

You're clever.

It's a good thing.

It's shining.

With it... I can read the scripts Xufeng sent last night.

Wonderful.

Runyu is poor.

Give him my thanks and consolations.

I will. Thank you, Mr. Immortal.

Well, Runyu can't attend my birthday banquet.

Kuanglu, come. Let's drink and enjoy ourselves.

I'm a low-level fairy.

I'm afraid...

Water Immortal will bring Jinmi.

Ask your father to bring you,

or I'll be lonely at the banquet.

I'm unhappy.

Then I'll come.

Thank you, Mr. Immortal.

Good girl.

-I'm taking my leave now. -Okay.

Wind Immortal, Water Immortal, Immortal Jinmi, come.

Amazing.

-Water Immortal. -Jinmi.

Come on. Help yourselves.

Don't stand on ceremony. Come on.

Make yourselves at home. Eat whatever you like.

Do you know what my gift is?

-What is it? -Something from the mortal world.

Try it.

So clear!

I can see things more clearly.

-Do you like it? -Wonderful.

With this treasure,

I can read 100 scripts in a day.

Jinmi,

it turns out that you're more beautiful than what I imagined.

Princess Suihe comes.

Fairy Yuanji comes.

Mr. Immortal, I come on behalf of Her Majesty.

Okay. Good girl, help yourself.

Yuanji. Yuanji.

Good girl. I don't want to eat it.

Yuanji, you're so stingy.

You come without bringing a gift.

I was thinking about how to continue the second life of the white snake

after the collapse of the Leifeng Pagoda.

I wanted to make her a fruit elf in the Floral Realm,

and you could decide her destiny and marriage.

But, it seems that you don't like my gift.

Yuanji, I know

you care about me. It's an excellent gift.

Go. Let's drink.

Go.

Eat it.

Thank you, Daddy.

I still think it's unusual.

-I feel the same way. -Jinmi.

It has to be talked about at length.

-By then... -Daddy.

Go.

Besides me,

do you like Xufeng?

-Yes. -How about Match-Maker?

Yes.

And Yanyou?

Yes.

If Jinmi is a piece of barren land,

no matter what seed is sowed and what fertilizer is applied,

no matter how you water it with the utmost care,

it won't blossom in return.

Falling in love with her is like a stone dropped into the sea.

There will be no response from her.

It takes time and energy.

Are you afraid?

Jinmi is essentially a good girl,

but she is cold and heartless because of her childhood.

She doesn't like anyone, not to mention love.

She used to be cold, passionate but ruthless.

Now, she is heartless but single-minded.

Why does she change so dramatically?

I took the Floating Dream Pill before,

so I forgot my mother and childhood memory.

Is Mi controlled?

Mi, which one is the real you?

Yun Elixir?

His Majesty comes.

Your Majesty, welcome.

-Your Majesty, welcome. -Your Majesty, welcome.

Don't stand on ceremony.

It's the Match-Maker's birthday banquet today.

Make yourselves at home.

Your Majesty, you have to deal with a host of problems every day.

What brings you here today?

Match-Maker, do you blame me for coming without being invited

or complain I haven't come for long?

Not at all.

My humble house is honored by your presence.

Our family members have come.

There are not many people,

so it's sort of deserted.

My Eight Characters are unlucky.

During my birthday banquet,

the first Prince is mourning his mother,

while the second Prince is grounded...

You want me to release them?

Forget them.

Let's enjoy ourselves.

Immortal Taisi is here.

You know many novel poems.

It's a good idea to take it as an entertainment.

Okay. Your Majesty,

I learned a poem in the mortal world recently.

I'll entertain you and everyone here.

Add to the fun.

-Please. -Let's enjoy it.

Don't you see Lord Xu's two sons who were born utterly remarkable?

The duo came one after another following an auspicious dream.

Confucius and the Buddha personally brought them in their arms.

Both are from heaven, unicorn foals.

The elder is nine years old, he is clever and pure.

Autumn waters are his soul, jade is his bones.

The younger son is five years old, exhibiting an imposing presence.

The guests that fill the hall all turn their heads.

I know that Lord Xu has no worries at all.

A continuous flood of accumulated virtue produces these dukes or counts.

When a man has sons like these two chicks,

how could his fame and position end up small or low?

Wonderful.

Your Majesty,

when I first heard this poem in the Human Realm,

the heroic bearing of you and your sons occurred to me.

This poem is presented to you.

Lickspittle.

Lower your voice.

Only you can hear me.

Everyone present can practice this skill.

What if someone intercepts it halfway?

Danzhu.

What're you two talking about?

The game pass the parcel.

Anyone want to play?

Time flies.

We have become old

and our children have grown up and will get married.

It's a good thing.

Pitifully, Floral Immortal can't witness it.

She is dead, but I miss her very much.

Your Majesty, you have deep love, strive after virtue, practice good deeds

and protect all living creatures.

Your sons are noble

and dignified.

It's really your virtue and the blessing of the Heavenly Realm.

You're also a lickspittle.

I flatter His Majesty.

Then others can't do that.

My sons have grown up, but they worry me.

Water Immortal and Immortal Taisi

are blessed with thoughtful daughters.

Kuanglu, stand up.

Come on. Stand up.

Come on.

Come on.

Your Majesty,

I have one daughter only.

Kuanglu, greet His Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Stand up.

You indeed look like dew, clear, crystal,

slim and graceful.

Are you of the same age as Jinmi and Suihe?

Your Majesty, may I be bold and ask you for a favor?

My daughter is too honest and docile.

Your Majesty,

please betroth her to a good husband.

Unexpectedly, he would request this.

His Majesty shows solicitude for the weak and the old.

Then he cottons up to His Majesty with his daughter.

I give in.

The first Prince is engaged to Jinmi.

It seems that

he is eager to betroth his daughter to the second Prince.

It turns out that he has other purposes.

Daddy.

I'm not drunk.

My father is drunk.

Your Majesty, please forgive him for forgetting himself in his cups.

Taisi, you're indeed drunk.

You should turn to me for your daughter's marriage.

Why do you turn to His Majesty?

You're not responsible for the marriages in the Heavenly Realm.

Why should we turn to you?

Parents' love can't be punished.

We drink and talk today.

You can say everything.

Daddy.

-Daddy, you're drunk. -I'm not.

Their fathers have great magic power.

-They love each other dearly. -Daddy, eat it.

Daddy, you were the most handsome in Huaiwu when you were young.

You're always the best father in this world in my mind.

You have an imposing and graceful appearance.

You're clever and nice.

I'm jealous of the lucky man

who marries you.

But it is a pity that compared with Xufeng,

you're nothing

but a mere mortal.

I don't feel quite myself. I have to leave.

Sui,

why are you so obsessed with someone

who doesn't love you?

If he really cared about you,

he would have married you.

I killed my father.

I killed the only person who treated me sincerely

and loved me the most dearly,

but Xufeng still doesn't love me.

Xufeng,

I hate you.

Jinmi,

I hate you.

You're back.

Does Match-Maker like the green screen with the patter of mist and clouds?

You should go to visit him more frequently.

You know?

-You can leave. -Okay.

Auntie,

in both the Heavenly Realm

and the Human Realm, everyone likes Jinmi.

I can't defeat her, right?

The second Prince will never love me, right?

Shut up.

You're in low spirits.

How can you lead the Bird Family?

What can I do?

Even if I die,

the second Prince won't care about it.

Stand up.

Listen carefully.

The Bird Family is noble.

We must be strong.

Your sufferings will pay off.

It's not the end yet.

The winner remains unknown,

right?

There, there. Don't cry.

I heard of your mother's death.

I'm overwhelmed with indignation.

Please restrain your grief.

I share the same enemy and hatred with Jinmi.

Great Floral Fairy, something confuses me.

Please enlighten me.

Go ahead.

Mi is different from the ordinary people in love.

Why did you say that?

I remember that you once said

Jinmi is rarely a heartless girl in this world,

but it's a painful topic.

When I read in Xingjing Court,

I accidentally found that it might be related to the Yun Elixir.

It's good that she lives a happy and carefree life,

but according to my original intention,

I am more willing to help her take out the Yun Elixir.

No one should deprive her of the right to love.

If so,

are you confident to protect Jinmi?

It's predicted that Jinmi will have a love problem in 10,000 years.

If the elixir is taken out, how to protect her?

Did you tell Jinmi the truth about the Yun Elixir?

No.

If she knows the truth,

I don't know what the consequences will be.

Don't worry.

As I said, I must protect her anyway.

Sorry for what happened that night.

We're accomplices.

I am also responsible.

You're now my man.

Don't worry. I'll be responsible for you.

You look like a gangster.

Don't you know

the man I loved in the previous life was a bandit named Crow?

I was his wife.

Then you'll be Fire Immortal's wife afterwards.

I have told my father about it.

What did he say?

He didn't say no,

but some things worried him.

He asked me to think it over.

I know what his worries are.

Don't worry. I'll solve them as soon as possible.

I made this

-for you. -What is it?

You're stupid.

It's Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits.

Place it in your heart

and activate it with magic power.

Then you can get the beautiful scenery with spring flowers and autumn fruits.

It's spring in the morning and autumn in the evening.

It can last one day.

Do you know where the beautiful scenery comes from?

Where?

Let me tell you secretly. It's stolen from the Floral Realm.

Great Floral Fairy must be startled by then.

I can't eat it or fight with it.

It's useless.

You're right. Fine.

I'll take it back and turn it into a weapon.

Why are there spring flowers and autumn fruits only?

I also want your summer heat and winter snow.

It's not necessary.

You're Fire Immortal, so you have summer heat.

And I have winter snow.

Then there are four seasons.

When did my stupid girl become so clever?

Well...

I'll place it in my soul and protect it.

I have... I have to go.

XUANJI PALACE

Are you waiting for me here?

Where are you going?

Slow down.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Well, I know. I'll go in.

Fish Fairy.

Fish Fairy, what happened?

When I was young,

I always felt myself inferior

as I had a strange shape

and pale color in Taihu Lake.

At that time,

to become a Cryprinus Carpiod,

I practiced non-stop every day.

I didn't know until I came here that

I've been doing something useless

over the past thousand years.

In fact, I am not a Cryprinus Carpiod,

but a white dragon which wanted to become a fish.

Recalling it now,

I was like a frog at the bottom of a well at the time.

Look at me.

I used to be a plebeian Fruit Fairy for 4,000 years.

Originally, I thought I was a Fruit Fairy,

but unexpectedly,

I'm a frost flower made from water.

So, we're the same.

In fact,

it's nice to be a frog at the bottom of a well.

Sometimes...

the more I know,

the more pain I suffer.

Fish Fairy, are you missing your mother?

The broad-leafed epiphyllum blossomed the night before last,

but you were absent.

No one appreciated the blossom

or smelled its fragrance.

It may be the saddest thing for a flower.

You're wrong.

I gave it to you,

so you're its owner.

Since you were here,

it didn't blossom in vain.

I'm really its owner?

For thousands of years,

I just showed my real body twice,

but you witnessed it.

Don't laugh at me.

I don't want much in this life.

Love me a little bit more every day.

Day after day,

month after month

and year after year.

I don't care even if you love me just a little bit.

I hope your love lasts forever.

Will you?

It's late at night.

I have to go back.

There are indeed cracks.

Mi.

You actually gave everything to Xu Feng.

Do you know... that I saw that dream vision that Yan Beast coughed up...

seeing you two full of tender and romantic sentiments...

Do you know how painful my heart was then?

I'd rather that you don't know about love in this life,

let you not love anyone,

let you be unable to love,

let you not love again.

Your Little Fish Immortal has lost everything.

He only has you now.

Don't leave me, okay?

Frost Flower, why are you not paying attention me?

Don't you want to come out anymore?

- Liu Ying? - Jin Mi, I have a favor to ask.

♫ My left hand holds the ground, my right hand holds the sky ♫
