"Ashes of Love"

EPISODE 58

Mi,

I have an idea.

The floral chiefs treat you like their own daughter.

I want to invite them

to participate in our wedding ceremony

as the witnesses of our wedding.

It's also sort of a way of repaying them for their care and upbringing.

What do you think?

It's up to you.

Mi, I have something to show you.

Mi, pick the best piece of paper

for making wedding invitation cards.

You are Floral Goddess' daughter.

So the floral chiefs must like the paper you select.

Actually it's all the same to me.

Pick any one you like.

I think it's more proper that you decide.

Since it's for the wedding,

let's select the red one, which is for joyous events.

Go ahead.

This one.

I'm wondering whether I picked the right one.

As long as you like it, it's the best one.

It seems that I picked the right one by luck.

My Lord.

How is Liuying?

She's been in her room for three days without coming out

or drinking water.

I don't know how to persuade her.

I'll check on her.

Xufeng. Father.

Sorry to have made you worry about me.

Don't worry. I won't hurt myself,

because I'm pregnant with Muci's baby.

I will pass on our love.

Father, could you get me some food?

Okay, okay.

I'll go ask the chefs to prepare some of your favorite dishes right now.

Xufeng, this time the King of Gu City must be working in collusion with Runyu.

That's why he took away Muci

and forced him to make Spirit-Vanishing Arrow to kill you.

The battle between us and the Heavenly Realm is inevitable.

Promise me

that you will let me take revenge for Muci.

Xufeng, eat some snacks.

What happened to you?

I am fine. You may leave.

If you are fine, why are you hiding your hands behind your back?

-Let me check. -I told you. I'm fine!

What's wrong with your ear?

It's because of Jinmi.

Last time she was determined to kill me at the Cave of Jiuying.

If you hadn't arrived in time,

my condition would be much worse now.

Xufeng,

I have this ugly scar on my ear.

Will you dislike me for this?

Absolutely not.

That's good.

You have no idea.

I have always had nightmares since that day.

You must take revenge for me.

All right. You may leave first.

I have some official affairs to deal with.

Okay. I'm going back now. Go to bed early.

Liuli Fire.

Xufeng, you suspect that Suihe lied to you?

Last time, seeing that Uncle was so serious,

actually, I kind of believed what he said.

Yesterday I accidentally found there was a scar on Suihe's ear

caused by a Water Ripple Palm.

She said it was caused by Jinmi at the Cave of Jiuying.

But that scar doesn't seem new. It's very suspicious.

Water Ripple Palm.

It is the magic of which the past Water Immortal was most proud

when he was alive, isn't it?

If the murderer who killed Water Immortal and Wind Immortal

is really Suihe, then can she use Liuli Fire?

I went to the Cave of Jiuying just now.

And I found there were some traces of Liuli Fire.

The power was not less than mine.

But Suihe has always been very delicate.

In addition, she spent a lot of power nourishing my body.

How is it possible that she has such pure power?

I do want to discover the murderer who killed Water Immortal and framed me.

But I don't want to wrong innocent people.

Let's check it out.

No! What kind of person will I be if I do so?

It's unfair for Muci.

Xufeng, don't worry. No matter how good you are to Suihe,

Muci is the best to me.

I have never cared about other people's gossip about me.

So you won't do anyone wrong.

Stop.

Why are you stopping me?

I am a friend of Water Immortal.

His Majesty has issued the order that

outsiders are forbidden to enter Xuanji Palace.

I am not an outsider. I'm...

Mi,

these two guys won't let me in.

-Don't be rude to an Immortal. -Stop.

Immortal.

He is my friend. Let him in.

But what about His Majesty's order?

If His Majesty blames you, let him come to me.

Yes.

Let's go.

XUANJI PALACE

Runyu is really getting more and more narrow-minded.

He even forbids me to see you.

I think he is afraid that you may run away with me.

Mi,

are you really so crazy that you are going to become the Heavenly Empress?

Let me remind you.

To be a Heavenly Empress, one has to be particularly talented.

You are kind of mediocre.

Not that I underestimate you.

Mediocre?

I get it. You are suggesting that

my power is weak.

No. No.

I know your power is much stronger than before.

But think about it. Among all the previous Heavenly Empresses,

which one was not ruthless and sinister?

And which one was not a wolf in sheep's clothing?

I don't think you have any of these features.

Not to mention being the future Heavenly Empress,

you can't even compare with Suihe

in terms of these features.

Don't be sad. I didn't mean to belittle you.

I mean you can't compare to her in terms of being sinister and adept

at scheming.

You are right.

Compared with Suihe,

I'm too stupid.

I'm so stupid that

I took revenge for my father on the wrong person.

I'm so stupid. Right?

The sea of suffering is boundless,

but you can see the bank when you turn back.

How about running away?

If you would like to have an affair, I will take you away.

Again. Don't talk nonsense.

Runyu has also done much for me.

I won't change my mind anymore.

Then here's a question.

Do you love him?

If you really marry him,

then there will be no way back.

Your Majesty.

Why did she pick the green one?

She shouldn't be color-blind like this.

Is it because she is absent-minded?

Or is it because she bears a grudge against me

that she deliberately picked this paper to mock me?

Or is there some implied meaning?

Your Majesty, after hearing what you said,

I realize that Water Immortal has indeed been

a little strange these days.

-What happened? -Not long ago,

Water Immortal planted phoenix flowers at Qiwu Palace.

But those flowers were gray.

Really?

I saw that with my own eyes.

How come she can't distinguish colors?

I see.

-Kuanglu, you may leave. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Mi, you came just at the right moment.

Kuanglu brought a dish of pomegranate cake just now.

I have had breakfast.

So you may try it for me.

Your Majesty, Kuanglu prepared it for you.

So enjoy it yourself, Your Majesty.

Actually...

Kuanglu...

has been with you for a long time.

She is really very nice.

I won't say no if you take concubines.

You can take as many concubines as you like.

Thank you for being so considerate to me.

Mi,

frankly speaking,

I'm not afraid that you don't care about me.

I'm afraid that you care about me like this.

Xufeng.

Xufeng,

what happened to you? Why is your body so cold?

Get out.

What happened, Xufeng?

Don't tell anyone else about this.

Our wedding day is around the corner. But your condition...

What happened exactly? Tell me, okay?

There is nothing wrong with me.

I will be fine soon.

The Golden Elixir.

Someone must have played a trick with the Golden Elixir. Wait a moment.

Kuanglu,

you came just at the right moment.

I just recalled that Immortal Tai Si

had mentioned your marriage on that day.

I'm thinking about...

I made my attitude toward this clear that day.

Why do you mention this matter again, Your Majesty?

There are many outstanding fairies in the Heavenly Realm.

No matter who you like,

I will definitely arrange a wonderful marriage for you.

Your Majesty, why do you insist on this matter?

Are you going to drive me away?

I know what you want, Your Majesty.

I also know clearly the result.

But I don't want anything else.

I just want to stay with you all the time, Your Majesty.

-Kuanglu. -Your Majesty,

I will assume that I have never heard what you said today.

After I step out of this room,

I will forget everything about this matter.

Do you agree, Your Majesty?

You are not replying.

I will regard your silence as permission.

Good night, Your Majesty.

I'm leaving now.

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

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

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

♫ Never wished to get into dispute, ♫

♫ But things never go my way ♫

♫ The flower in my heart has wilted ♫

It seems

I can't ever forget you.

♫ Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel ♫

♫ I only hope that I have no regrets and to drift away with the flowers ♫

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

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

Why did you trespass in the Heavenly Realm at this time?

What do you want?

A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations.

You must clearly know why I'm here.

Your mind is hard to read. I really don't know why you are here.

If you haven't done anything that makes you guilty,

why did you close the door and the windows?

I just want to save your face.

I have only one question.

Did you play a trick with the Golden Elixir of Lord Lao?

I was wondering what this is about.

It turns out to be this trivial matter.

I just removed an herb that can provide internal heat from that elixir.

Just as I expected.

In the outside world, people say

the Heavenly Emperor is deeply in love with Water Immortal.

But they don't know

the Heavenly Emperor even lies to his loved one and uses her.

You knew that Xufeng still had one piece of soul.

You also knew that Jinmi would definitely use the Golden Elixir

to save Xufeng's life after she got it.

You know his body constitution is fire by nature and he's afraid of coldness.

So you deliberately removed the heat of the medicine,

making him suffer from the autophagy caused by the elixir.

I guess Water Immortal

still does not know how she was perfectly used by you.

If someone mentions this to her at this time...

You speak in a such a frank way.

Have you told that demon

that you are the murderer who killed the past Water Immortal,

and that his life was not saved by you?

Nowadays,

Xufeng's power is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Even he himself doesn't care about this trivial pain of autophagy.

You are just wasting your energy on unnecessary worry.

What if Xufeng knows his life was saved by Jinmi?

If Jinmi hadn't killed him with one deathly stab,

how would his soul have been destroyed?

If Jinmi knows

that you already knew Xufeng was not the murderer

who killed Water Immortal,

but you kept this from her and misled her,

what will she do?

I advise you not to be silly.

You are finally going to marry him soon.

If this fact is made public,

aren't you afraid that your dream will be shattered?

If you tell me which herb you removed from that elixir,

I will forget everything

that happened today the moment I leave.

Would you dare to believe me if I tell you?

If you still refuse to tell me,

then I will take a risk

and fight against you to the end.

You are much more confident

after getting the power of the abandoned Heavenly Empress.

How do you know that?

When I saw the scar caused by the Water Ripple Palm on your ear,

I became suspicious of you.

After that, Tuyao lost all her power overnight.

So I realized almost the whole truth.

Now Jinmi and her fellows also know

you are the real murderer who killed Luolin and Linxiu.

But I guess

Xufeng didn't believe Jinmi's words at that time.

If now

I submit the evidence to Xufeng,

-what will he do? -You...

I have some advice for you.

Keep silent about this

and marry him without bringing any troubles.

It's the right choice for you.

With his protection, you can still be alive for the time being.

If I get hold of you someday...

Everyone knows

I have sworn on the name of the immortals

to take revenge on the one who killed Water Immortal's father.

It turns out that you want to make use of me to hold Xufeng

so as to make it impossible for them to be together again.

You are really good at taking all means that are available.

You, too.

Bye. I'm not seeing you off.

Come here.

Burn the incense and sweep the floor.

Mi.

Mi,

it's very late now. Why haven't you gone to bed?

Your Majesty,

what else do you want me to do for you?

Mi, what are you talking about?

I don't get it.

I heard the whole conversation between you

and Suihe just now.

What else do you want me to do for you?

Or...

who else do you want me to kill for you?

Mi...

Listen. Don't talk to me like this.

I'm scared.

The one who should be scared is me!

I have been taken advantaged of.

Every inch of me

has been used up by you.

I'm worthless now.

Now let me go. Really,

I beg you.

-Please let me go, okay? -Mi,

look at me. Look at me carefully.

I love you. I really love you.

Don't be scared of me. Don't leave me!

You don't love me at all!

From the very beginning, you only love yourself.

You lied to me, saying that you love me.

You lied to my dad, saying that you love me.

You lied to the floral chiefs, saying that you love me.

You lie to all the people in the world, saying that you love me.

You keep lying,

and then you even make yourself believe it's true.

But you don't love me at all.

-You don't love me at all! -It's not true!

Listen. You can feel it.

You feel it, right? You can feel that I love you. Right?

Even if I am stupid, I'm not so stupid as to believe you.

At the beginning, you approached me

just because I was a close friend of Xufeng.

You wanted to know your enemy's situation.

Later, you suspected that I was Water Immortal's daughter.

When you saw I created a hailstorm

at the Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet,

you were more certain that I was Water Immortal's daughter.

And on that day,

when my dad took me outside the Northern Heavenly Gate,

you saw him.

But you pretended not to see him. Why?

You took advantage of my ignorance about love at that time,

and lured me to say I love you.

Your purpose was to make my dad believe that I like you.

For you were afraid that

my dad might cancel our engagement.

You were afraid that you might lose the support from my dad!

You wanted my dad to fight together with you against Xufeng. Am I right?

You let me go to the Qiwu Palace.

You let Xufeng come to see me.

You just wanted me to pin him down.

You gave me the Beast of Dreams because you wanted to spy on me.

You already knew who killed my dad.

But you,

you are not only a master of chess playing.

You are more of a gambler.

On our wedding day,

you made a bet.

You bet that Xufeng would break in.

You bet that I would kill Xufeng. Right?

There weren't any tens of thousands of troops at all.

You had only one stake.

And the stake was me.

I was just one of your chips.

I was just one of your chips.

You are too horrible.

How did you do it?

You advance gradually and entrench yourself

at every step without making any mistake.

You can make use of people all over the world.

But you can also make them think

you are the most innocent and kindest person in the world.

It's you

who made me kill the person I love most.

It's you who made me kill Phoenix!

It's you who made me kill the person

who loved me most.

Now you are the Heavenly Emperor.

You have got everything you want.

All the people in the six realms admire you.

What else do you want?

All I want is Phoenix.

Why don't you allow me to be with him?

Nowadays Phoenix doesn't love me anymore.

He hates me.

Now he is going to marry the person who killed my father.

Congratulations! You have got everything you want.

Please.

Let me go, please.

Please let me go, okay?

Mi, how can I let you go?

Mi, how can I let you go?

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you so much that I can't control myself.

I did all this just for you.

I have changed like this because of you.

I saw your dream,

in which...

you and he, you two were making love.

Do you know what I felt at that time?

I was anxious to destroy my own soul at that time.

I had never asked for anything

until I met you. It's you...

who broke down my walls.

You make me feel the long-desired warmth.

You are the only one.

You are the only one of whom I will never let go.

According to all those experiences,

if I want to protect my loved ones,

I have to be patient

and I have to be strong enough

so that all people submit themself to my rule.

I did it.

Mi,

you are with me finally.

Although you went to the Demon Realm to meet him many times,

I can ignore this fact as long as you stay with me.

Later,

you went there less frequently.

You even...

you even agreed to marry me.

Do you know how happy I was at that time?

I was even thinking that

I would be willing to give up being the Heavenly Emperor

as long as you would marry me and we can be together all our life.

Enough!

You don't know what love is at all.

You will never deserve to be loved.

Please don't defile love anymore.

From now on,

I will never believe

what you say again.

Mi,

I know I did wrong.

I really know I did wrong.

It's okay that you don't believe me.

It's okay that you don't love me.

It's also okay that you hate me.

But

you can never leave me.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

I was so, so wrong.

This fish scale is so beautiful and unique.

It is the dragon scale.

Immortal Runyu, you gave me such a precious gift.

I will definitely keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

In the future, if you marry me,

you will have to suffer from some unjust treatments.

Would you mind, Fairy Jinmi?

Not at all.

I think it's quite a good deal.

Fish Fairy, you are really an exceptional, promising man in the Heavenly Realm.

I think your future is very promising.

Mi likes playing about.

So I used the mist to make a rainbow bridge.

Whenever and wherever Mi is,

she can always see the way home when she looks up.

I ask for few things in my life.

I just want you to love me a little bit more every day,

day by day, month by month and year by year,

till the end of my life. Okay?

♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫

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

♫ I hope these memories never fade ♫

♫ As I taste the remains of the wine again ♫

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

Mi,

I was wrong,

but I don't regret what I have done.

-Immortal -Get out of my way.

Immortal. Immortal.

I will give you one last chance. Will you tell me or not?

You can't throw this.

It is the Bayi Pill that Grand Supreme Lord Lao

has refined for 81 days.

Hurry.

Water Immortal, please don't throw it.

Stay calm.

-Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive. -OK, Grand Supreme Lord Lao.

I have questions for you. Don't lie to me again.

What trick did you play with the Jiuzhuan Golden Elixir?

Which herb was removed from that elixir?

-Well, I... -All right.

No, please. All right. All right. Please don't.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

There was no herb missing in the Golden Elixir.

Instead, there was an herb named cynanchum atratum added to it.

Cynanchum atratum is loaded with cold yin energy,

which is in conflict with the God of Fire's constitution.

Therefore, the God of Fire suffers from the autophagy caused by the Golden Elixir

after eating it.

Lord Lao, I didn't expect that

you had also been also involved in this matter.

I feel ashamed.

I really feel ashamed.

It was the Heavenly Emperor's idea,

but you worked in collusion with him.

If this thing is made public,

how can you keep your authority in the Heavenly Realm?

You are right, Water Immortal.

To be honest,

I have been uneasy these days.

It's not too late to make up for it.

Lord Lao, I hope you can tell me the remedy.

Don't let His Majesty hold to his wrong course anymore.

Hairy Feather can remove the cold yin energy of cynanchum atratum.

Hairy Feather?

Is it the herb named Hairy Feather

of the Floral Realm, which grows once in ten thousand years?

Yes, it is. Hairy Feather is very delicate.

If it leaves the place where it grows,

it will be spoiled within three days.

Why are you here?

Let me go! Don't hold to the wrong course anymore.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

-What are you doing? -Don't move.

What?

What do you want? Let go of me!

Mi,

listen. I will never let go of you.

Are you crazy? You...
