"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 48

PIXIANG HALL

Your Majesty.

Why did he commit suicide?

Your Majesty. This is a suicide note we just found.

In the note, he confessed he changed the file without authorization.

So he committed suicide for fear of punishment.

Have you compared his handwriting?

Yes, I did.

It was really written by him.

Since he committed suicide for fear of punishment,

why did he take the trouble to write this note?

Men speak kindly in the presence of death.

In the past, Xufeng went on an expedition in the six realms,

so it was inevitable for him to have enemies.

Just as he said,

since Xufeng was his enemy,

he might bear resentment and try to take revenge

by changing the color of the Dream Pearl

to fabricate evidence against Xufeng.

This also makes sense.

I think he might have felt his deeds had been exposed

as you came to check it,

so he killed himself for fear of punishment.

Then how did he change

the color of the Dream Pearl?

I heard that there is an ancient book called Classics of Dream

recording some ways.

But this book has been long lost

and is forbidden.

So I have never seen it.

Phoenix, I really wronged you.

Phoenix.

Mi.

Mi, are you all right?

I'm finally free.

It turns out...

It turns out that it's actually me.

It turns out...

It turns out that the one I always loved

is Phoenix.

Phoenix.

I pay my respects, Leader.

Is there anything abnormal about Princess Suihe recently?

She is normal in the daytime.

But she often goes out at night.

I once followed her

and found she went to Wangchuan River.

-Wangchuan River? -Yes.

There must be something wrong.

Keep watch on her.

Yes.

You doubt Xufeng is alive?

Why do you say so?

Your Majesty,

I think before the death of the late Heavenly Emperor,

he had managed to keep one soul of the God of Fire.

Phoenix.

You are alive?

Sir.

Do you want to cross the river?

No.

I want to inquire about something.

You want to ask something about that man

who crossed the river with you back then?

Yes.

I want to know whether you had seen his primordial spirit.

Here is the ferry to the nether

and only primordial spirits of humans can cross it.

He was a noble immortal and surpassed the six realms

and wouldn't fall into the nether since birth.

His primordial spirit wouldn't rest here.

Frankly speaking,

since Pangu created heaven and earth,

the five elements mutually reinforce and neutralize each other.

You stabbed the ice knife

into his fire essence,

so his primordial spirit

won't remain at all.

Impossible.

He is the God of War.

He won't die.

He is the God of War.

He won't die in this way.

Girl, let him go.

Here is my advice.

The road of love is tough and dangerous

and has no end.

It's right for you to realize your errors and mend your ways.

But if you stick to it,

you will harm yourself and others.

♫ Never wished to get into dispute, but things never go my way ♫

♫ The flower in my heart has wilted ♫

♫ And I can never turn back time ♫

Phoenix.

Phoenix.

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Phoenix. Look back at me. Phoenix!

Phoenix.

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix...

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

XUANJI PALACE

♫ Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom ♫

♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫

♫ As I taste the remains of the wine again ♫

♫ A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt ♫

♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫

♫ A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts ♫

Mi.

Mi.

What's wrong with your feet?

How come you are hurt like this?

♫ Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets ♫

♫ The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart ♫

♫ As I taste the remains of the wine again ♫

Mi, where on earth did you go?

Xufeng is still alive, right?

Why didn't you tell me?

Mi, have you found something?

Look at your feet

and your hands.

What are you doing?

Do you hurt yourself or hurt me?

For him,

you even give up your life?

Mi,

he won't come back at all.

Forget him.

You still have me, don't you?

You can hear it, right?

Each of my heartbeat

means that I'm waiting for you to come back.

Fish Fairy.

I'm sorry.

I only love him.

Demon Lord, she has come.

Invite her to come in.

So it's Princess Suihe.

I didn't expect that

you would come to my Demon Realm.

There are many eyes and ears around,

I have no choice.

I'm grateful

that you obliged to meet me here.

Don't be so polite.

Take a seat.

I come here today to beg you for a favor.

You beg me?

What is it?

I want to recapture the Bird Family with your help.

Help you recapture the Bird Family?

What will I gain?

As long as you can help me recapture the Bird Family,

I will swear loyalty to you with the Bird Family later.

What do you think?

You want me to start a fight

against the Heavenly Realm?

I think your ambition

doesn't cover the Demon Realm only.

You are really smart.

But you also know,

now the Demon Realm is strong,

I don't think your Bird Family

is worth talking about for me.

What do you want?

As long as I can do it,

I will try my best.

I want to control all the realms

while having beauty in my arms.

You don't know

what I'm interested in?

As long as you can help me to recapture the Bird Family,

you can pick any of the girls of the Bird Family you like.

Although there are countless girls of the Bird Family,

you are the best.

I'm afraid I will let you down.

Then I'm afraid

I will let you down as well.

I thought that

you, Demon Lord, wouldn't fear the Heavenly Realm,

but it turns out that I was wrong.

For a tiny Bird Family

to offend the Heavenly Emperor

is a losing business.

Since you are unwilling

to pay a little for this,

I have to be cold-hearted and refuse you.

Then I won't disturb you.

My Lord, what's our next plan?

Let her go.

She is unyielding.

Once I control the six realms,

I will conquer you.

Everything changes in the Bird Family.

The Demon Realm refuses to work with me.

I can't even find a place to shelter myself in the world.

Have a look. Have a look.

The heirloom mermaid tea pearls.

One pearl can be your heirloom.

Have a look. Have a look.

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to this.

Come to have a look.

This is...

an extraordinary magical cane.

It has endless magic power with the primordial spirit

of the God of War.

-God of War? -Have a look.

Which God of War?

Which God of War?

It's surely the God of Fire from the Heavenly Realm

who perished half a year ago.

That God of Fire who guarded Wangchuan River

that the Demon Lord dared not cross for a thousand years?

I heard that even the powerful Princess of Bian City

was once defeated by him.

This is the only magical cane in the world.

How come Xufeng's primordial spirit is here?

He must be lying. Let's go.

He doesn't believe me?

Great.

It's cast with the primordial spirit of the God of Fire. It has endless power.

You can bid for it now. Whoever bids the highest can get it.

One year of magic power.

-Three years. -Three years. Is there any higher price?

-Five years. -Five years. Is there any higher price?

-Ten years. -Ten years.

-Is there any higher price? -Twenty years.

Twenty years. Who else?

I won't allow you to cheat others in the name of the God of Fire.

No need.

How come you always make trouble every time you go out?

What do you mean?

Xufeng died miserably for no reason.

I won't allow others to gossip about him.

I once fought with him several times, I know his magic power well.

Recently, I always feel

there is a similar breath lingering around.

But it definitely won't be there.

It's for sure. They are frauds.

But now things are different.

The entire Demon Realm is under the control of the King of Gu City.

When we are outside, we should be careful.

The King of Gu City has tried to chase and kill me for a long time.

But I'm still safe and sound now.

No need to fear him.

He is also your bloody enemy.

But you take it easy.

I won't forget my blood feud enemy who vanquished my family.

I want to vanquish him more than all of you.

But now the situation is unstable.

A little impatience will spoil great plans.

If we make trouble again,

it will put your father and the King of Qing City in an awkward position.

Stop talking about these great truths with me.

I'm sad about Xufeng's wrongful death.

Princess Liuying, Demon Lord invites you.

-Don't go. -I'll be back soon.

He won't dare to hurt me.

I will learn his scheme.

Among my peers,

the King of Qing City is old and doesn't want to manage affairs.

The King of Yan City, who is obsessed with beauty and wine, has high aspirations

but little ability.

His two sons are unable.

Although I'm good at military strategy

and have great ambitions,

I have no successor, which is a pity.

No offense.

Your father is cautious and modest,

so I think you are the most promising

of the next generation.

You didn't summon me here

to invite me to a meal

and talk trifles with me, right?

When the King of Yan City held power before,

he wanted to balance all parties,

so it was inevitable for me

to have disputes with your Bian City.

Now things are different.

As I'm in power,

I must love my people as my children.

Although I have no children,

I watched you grow up.

I really like you in my heart.

How about this?

After drinking this wine,

let's forget our past resentment.

Thank you for your kindness.

I'm flattered.

Liuying,

you will inherit your father's throne sooner or later.

However,

you are close to those immortals of the Heavenly Realm.

In addition, you are aggressive

and disobedient,

how can you command the Demon Family?

I gave an order to hunt you before,

but I didn't want to really kill you.

I just wanted

to cultivate your mind and will.

Thank you for not killing me.

You are still young.

You will learn about my painstaking effort later.

Your father has taught you very well,

but he's failed to teach you

to tell the real intentions of others.

There are two great scourges of our Demon Realm.

First, it's the Heavenly Realm.

Since tens of thousands of years ago,

the Demon Realm stood with the Heavenly Realm as an equal.

But now,

we are overwhelmed by those sanctimonious immortals.

Do you know why?

-Why? -That's the second scourge.

Internal struggle.

Those rulers of cities in the Demon Realm

struggle violently for territory,

which weakens their own power.

The Heavenly Realm is very anxious to gain profits from this every day.

It makes sense.

Half a year ago,

The Heavenly Realm was chaotic and it hasn't recovered so far.

I want to attack the Heavenly Realm

while the new Heavenly Emperor is deeply troubled

and hasn't become powerful enough.

I want to launch an unexpected attack.

After consideration,

I think you are the most suitable vanguard.

There is indeed an ulterior motive to this banquet.

It's not only my fault

for killing the Spirit-Vanishing Family.

As for the truth back then,

the real murderer

was actually the late Heavenly Emperor Taiwei.

How come no one mentioned this before?

What's this?

This is the pledge record of blood

between him and me.

It still contains his immortal blood inside.

I'm ashamed that

I was lured by him

to be his pawn.

The Spirit-Vanishing Arrow can kill immortals.

However, we people from the Demon Realm are not afraid of death.

Only those immortals feel uneasy and nervous

in the face of the Spirit-Vanishing Family's threat

and want to kill them all.

Therefore, the real murderer of the Spirit-Vanishing Family

was really the late Heavenly Emperor Taiwei.

This expedition

can also avenge the Spirit-Vanishing Family.

I know

Qiyuan is the last lineal offspring of the Spirit-Vanishing Family.

After I conquer the Heavenly Realm,

I will hold the wedding personally for you and him.

Do you believe what he said?

He has evil intentions behind his words.

He just wants you to work for him.

But it's related to the Spirit-Vanishing Family.

What should we do?

A wrong has a source.

Since the King of Gu City participated in the genocide back then,

he can hardly absolve himself from the blame.

He must pay for it sooner or later.

After Xufeng died,

I don't believe those immortals from the Heavenly Realm anymore.

What's right and what's evil?

There are loyal people in the Demon Realm

and evil men in the Heavenly Realm.

I'm afraid the righteous and evil have no boundaries.

The most awful thing is the righteous can't surpass evil in the world.

Promise me.

Don't get involved in these struggles.

Let's find a place with beautiful natural scenery

to spend the rest of our years in peace. Okay?

I said this to you in the past.

But now you say it to me.

Yes.

After all...

I don't have so much time left.

I prefer to spend these years

with you peacefully and safely rather than in revenge.

You often said that

two people loving each other

can face each other every day

and will feel satisfied

even if they just live a short life.

Right?

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Save him.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Xufeng, I will try my best

to find a solution

in the world to save you.

Who is there?

How dare you burst in here?

Your Highness.

They burst in so forcibly that I couldn't stop them.

Yinque, you are the leader now,

but you even burst into my Feiluan Palace.

You've gone too far in bullying me.

It's me.

Your Majesty.

Do you still recognize me as the Heavenly Emperor?

You are in power now.

I don't think it makes any difference

for me to recognize you or not.

You still keep your temperament

and never yield.

Fine.

I won't be surprised

if you become sycophantic like them as well.

I'm flattered.

Why did you come here today?

To check whether you overtly agree but covertly oppose us,

to plot rebellion.

Who framed me to deceive Your Majesty?

It will be clear after a check.

Your Majesty, he is right here.

Your Majesty.

I thought you were unqualified to be the leader

as you were proud and willful.

But now, it seems that

you shelter a criminal and hatching a sinister plot.

The Bird Family can't take you anymore.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I can explain.

No!

No!

Fake?

Where on earth is Xufeng?

Everyone saw the Second Prince being vanquished that day.

Even if I wanted to save him,

I couldn't do it.

I just transformed a bird

into the image of him

to ease my missing him.

If you can't even tolerate this unreal image,

just kill me directly.

But if this is known by others,

I'm not sure whose face will be lost.

For the unsuitable desire,

you should give up as early as possible.

Go.

Go.

Water Ripple Palm.

What a traitor.

It's really you.

What are you saying, Your Highness?

I don't understand.

Stop quibbling.

I doubted that you revealed my plans before.

Only you know I hid Xufeng.

But you didn't know that it was fake.

Queling, I treat you well.

Why did you betray me again and again?

When I served you,

you always purposely made it difficult for me

when you were not satisfied

over some trifles.

You are so bullying.

But you didn't know that you are utterly isolated.

Whoever betrays me only has one ending.

Before I followed you here,

I told the leader that

if I can't go back,

you won't be able to walk out of Yimiao Island.

Don't ever try to deceive me.

She's not deceiving you.

Someone.

Capture her.

Yinque,

I will keep this account in mind.

I will settle it with you later.

YU ABYSS

Luckily, I've made arrangements

so that Runyu can't catch you.

Although Yu Abyss is gloomy and horrible,

it's the safest place in the world now.

Xufeng, I must find a solution

to get the Nine Golden Elixir

to bring you back to life.

I must help you get to the top

to control the six realms.

Your Majesty.

King of Bian City.

Please.

We met hastily last time.

Have you considered

what we discussed before?

At present, the King of Gu City just became Demon Lord

and the situation is not stable.

As for the alliance,

please spare me more time

to consider it.

He who hesitates will be disturbed.

As for the King of Gu City,

you must know him.

If two men ride on a horse, one must ride behind.

He is always ambitious

and wants to conquer my Heavenly Realm.

Now in order to stabilize his position,

he pretends to treat you well

as if boiling a frog in warm water.

But this doesn't mean that

he won't attack you later.

If you are deceived by his leniency and let him become powerful,

he will be your disaster.

It makes sense.

But your additional requirement

is really hard for me,

about searching for the Fire Immortal's primordial spirit in the Demon Realm

and giving it to you.

The God of Fire Xufeng once did me and my daughter a great favor.

I can't return kindness with ingratitude.

Xufeng once helped you.

I think if you learn his whereabouts,

you must help him.

Your Majesty,

he is dead.

I don't think he has a primordial spirit left in this world,

let alone the Demon Realm.

Yes.

He is dead.

Xufeng is dead

and what I want is just your friendship.

I hope that our alliance won't have some hidden disasters.

These surely include Xufeng.

I knew you got along well with Xufeng.

Liuying and Xufeng have been in a sworn relationship,

so she is naturally my younger sister.
