"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 14"
Jin Mi is still inside.
If Jin Mi heard these,
we all can share this blame...
but why should we drag Jin Mi into the affair of the past generation?
Does that mean...
Zi Fen died in the frost fall of the year 28612...
but not summer solstice in year 28613?
Flora Realm hid the news about Zi Fen's death for almost a year?
- Why? - That year...
Haitang!
Are you not going to even listen to me?
All the chiefs have already sworn an oath to the late chief,
please don't force us to tell you anymore.
Chiefs, today Little One has found her father.
Please don't make her upset anymore.
Why don't you all go inside to accompany her?
If you would like to talk about the old days,
why don't you talk to me?
Lao Hu,
you are considered someone who was close to Zi Fen.
You must know what had happened back then.
Since the late chief had always wanted to keep this secret,
I'm afraid she intended not let you worry about it.
However, since you are not willing to become a confused fool,
then why not become a sad but understanding person?
Back then when Heavenly Emperor was still the second prince,
he planned every move carefully...
to win over the late chief's heart,
I am sure you are more aware of it than I do.
In order to rise to the throne as Heavenly Emperor,
he formed an alliance with the bird tribe...
and married the princess of bird tribe, Tu Yao...
and betrayed the late chief.
When the late chief knew about it, she was desperate and heartbroken.
Luckily,
luckily your kindness...
to the late chief was the same every day.
Her love for you had grown stronger in time.
This was supposed to stop her before it was too late.
Who knew?
The Heavenly Emperor acted the same even after he was crowned.
He continued to harass the late chief...
but the late chief refused to yield.
That made the Heavenly Emperor even more frustrated and...
he forcibly defiled the late chief.
He used force on Zi Fen!
But the late chief didn't know that...
she was already pregnant with Jin Mi.
In anger,
she went to the River of Unmindfulness.
Lady.
You already made your choice between power and me.
We have taken different paths,
but you've shamed me and made me betray Luo Lin.
Only by jumping into the River of Unmindfulness...
could wash off the shame and heartbreak.
The late chief wanted to drink from River of Unmindfulness...
to forget her sorrow but Heavenly Emperor stopped her.
She then jumped into the river to destroy her own spirit...
but the Heavenly Emperor cast a spell to stop her.
I am the Heavenly Emperor.
The entire of Heaven Realm is mine.
I won't allow you to die...
and I won't allow you to forget me.
Let me go!
The Heavenly Emperor imprisoned the late chief inside Qi Wu Palace.
Brother!
To get the late chief to give up on you,
the Heavenly Emperor plotted to get you and Wind Immortal to marry,
he even purposely let the late chief hear about it.
The Water Immortal and Wind Immortal have arrived.
His Majesty, why did you summon Lin Xi and I?
Brother.
My heart belongs to someone else,
even if I'm not the one she wants...
I've already decided that I won't marry anyone else except for her.
Forming a marriage between Lin Xiu and you...
is not an idea of just my own.
Due to the unrest in the six realms,
a marriage between you two...
would boost up the morale of the soldiers in the Heaven Realm.
Luo Lin, are you going to defy my order?
Thank you your Majesty for your kindness.
I wish that Princess Tu Yao and you would be happy together forever...
but to go against my heart,
even if you have to take away my immortality and make me human,
I will not obey your order.
Your Majesty, please calm down.
Luo Lin, Zi Fen and I had been...
cultivating in the same school for thousands of years.
We are as close as siblings.
I cannot just take away their loved ones.
Tu Yao was already married to the Heavenly Emperor as she wished,
what else was she not satisfied with?
Due to the situation then, the Heavenly Emperor...
has no choice but to make Tu Yao his wife.
But in his heart, he has always missed the late chief.
He even wanted to make the late chief his concubine.
"Lin Yuan Terrace" Tu Yao found out about it...
and how could she not hate her?
- Chief! - Chief!
Why are you hurt so badly?
- Chief! - Chief!
After I've rejected the marriage proposal,
I went to the Flora Realm to visit Zi Fen...
but she told me...
she has never loved me.
From the very beginning till the end, I only love the Heavenly Emperor.
Why don't you just go and marry Lin Xiu?
The spirit and internal organs of late chief were already severely burnt.
She knew she couldn't live any longer.
That's why she had been cold to you,
in hopes that you would be able to let her go easily.
She didn't want you...
to cause a scene for something that can never be undone.
She hoped that the Wind Immortal and you could be a loving...
and contented couple.
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Zi Fen...
but this world is unpredictable.
Without Zi Fen,
how can I be contented?
Jin Mi lost her mother when she was so young,
she was lonely and helpless,
how can I forgive myself?
I must kill that poisonous woman with my own hands.
Even if my spirit will be perished,
I'll have to avenge Zi Fen!
The deceased is already gone.
The late chief's spirit has been destroyed,
even if you have finally avenged her,
she will not be resurrected.
Also, the late chief's last wish...
was for the Flora Realm to be peaceful...
and stop seeking revenge on each other.
The late chief was worried that the little grape would be like her,
develop infatuation and die in grief.
That's why she ordered all the chiefs to strictly protect this secret.
Even made Grape to dress up like a man when she's out...
and trap her in the Water Mirror for 10,000 years,
even asked me to watch over her closely.
I thought that the little one...
would be happy and carefree for the rest of her life.
Who would have thought that...
fate messes with people?
Jin Mi,
it's you after all.
There's a limit to taking revenge,
how could you use Jin Mi...
and put the young chief of Flora Realm in danger.
Do you know that...
the Heavenly Empress almost killed her that day?
Hurting her is the Heavenly Empress's doing,
not what I wish for.
I will no longer help you.
Chief Yulan, do you really want to break the agreement?
You broke faith first.
I've already told you...
there's a limit to taking revenge,
it must not involve the people from Flora Realm.
Since we have already decided to take revenge,
of course there will be risk.
If you dare to cause anymore harm to Jin Mi,
I will not forgive you.
Chief Zhang has always been just and stern,
if she finds out that we formed an alliance,
what would be your consequences?
No matter what,
we are on the same boat right now.
Since we've started it,
how can we stop now?
Take care of yourself.
"Xuan Ji Palace"
Your Highness, how's Jin Mi?
Luckily, Water Immortal was there to help.
Jin Mi is fine now.
Jin Mi is actually Water Immortal's daughter.
According to the arrangement made 4000 years ago,
she is my fiancée.
Isn't she...
the child of Heavenly Emperor?
The magical prowess that father passed to her goes against her own prowess.
Water Immortal has already personally checked it.
He confirms that Jin Mi is his own child.
Soon...
he'll announce it publicly.
Your Highness, I can see that you're very happy.
I've never been this happy...
but I've also never been this nervous.
I overheard the conversation between Water Immortal and Chief Zhang...
about the relationship between father and late Flora Immortal, Zi Fen.
The Water Immortal hates father and mother.
I'm afraid that he might not approve this marriage.
Even if there was any misunderstanding,
the engagement was made long time ago.
Promise made by the Immortals must be obeyed,
no one can break it, isn't?
But I know that...
Xu Feng likes Jin Mi too.
He might be able to fool others...
but I won't be fooled by him.
I can't bare to hurt him.
Then can you bare giving her up?
When Lord Fire Immortal was young,
he had so much love from Heavenly Emperor and Empress.
He is also the firstborn.
He already has too much.
Unlike you,
you're always alone,
beast of dream and the night are you only companion.
You never fight for anything.
If...
If you give your wife away, that's...
This one time...
Xu Feng,
I'll wrong you just this one time.
I'll repay you for hundred and thousand times in the future.
Would you still blame me?
Chief Zhang,
while we're here today,
tell me the honest truth.
Jin Mi, is she or is she not my child?
In the spirit of the departed late chief,
no matter how many times you asked.
I will only have one answer.
Jin Mi is not your descendant.
Don't try to hide it from me.
Zi Fen...
passed away after giving birth on summer solstice in the year 28613.
Based on the time calculation,
no doubt that Jin Mi is my own flesh and bone.
Your Majesty, you've mistaken.
Jin Mi was not born on the summer solstice...
but was on the frost fall a year before that.
I understand that..
I've wronged Zi Fen...
and caused her to die in hatred.
I also know that...
you all feel injustice for her.
But these past thousand years,
I've tried every chance given to make up for the regret.
I'm sure that you all would not want Jin Mi...
to become an orphan.
Has Your Majesty forgotten how and why did late chief died?
Only a few days ago,
Heavenly Empress came to the Flora Realm...
ruined the mound of late chief...
and almost killed Jin Mi,
Your Majesty should know about it, right?
Your Majesty, for the sake of the relationship that you had,
then please don't endanger late chief's only child.
Regarding the Heavenly Empress,
please be at ease.
I will talk to her,
make her and everyone else in the Heaven Realm to accept Jin Mi.
It is just Jin Mi.
Who dares to trouble the Heavenly Emperor for it?
When the King and Queen are fighting, Heaven Realm becomes unrest,
Jin Mi will not be able to bare the blame for it.
In the Heaven Realm, mistakes can be made easily.
Even the late chief, which is also a Supreme Immortal was plotted against,
let alone a weak child.
Jin Mi has a place in the Flora Realm,
it will be enough.
Please Heavenly Emperor, give her a way out.
Fine.
This needs further consideration.
But you should know,
although time has passed...
I've not changed my mind.
One day, I'll have to recognise Jin Mi as my own.
I want to proudly get her back to the Heaven Realm.
It'll be considered as giving Zi Fen some justice.
In that case,
I'll patiently wait for it.
Former Flora Immortal,
I'm here to visit you.
Can I call you mother now?
Mother,
I've recognised father,
which is the Water Immortal.
He told me that you loved having these flower biscuits.
What a coincidence, fresh flower biscuit is my favourite as well.
I've brought some for you.
They don't look good...
but I made them by myself, they are quite good.
Please don't mind it.
Frankly speaking,
these past 4000 years, I've been thinking...
how would you and I reunite?
But I've never thought that...
we would reunite this way.
I even thought that,
after meeting you,
I'll have many heart-to-heart talks with you.
But I've never thought that,
I've already spoken enough with you.
You are really a surprising mother.
I've always been jealous of Lian Qiao.
Because every time during meal time,
her mother...
would ask the butterflies to ask her come home to have her meal.
I was thinking,
how nice would it be if I have a mother.
My mother would ask me to have my meal.
But now that I've know that I have a mother,
I'm even more jealous of her.
How in the world is there a mother like you?
You didn't care about me after giving birth to me.
Even trapped me in the Water Mirror for 4000 years.
Even asked Chief Zhang to lie to me,
said that I'm an orphan grape.
You even hid my true form, caused my prowess to be so low.
What did father and I ever do to you?
In the love letter, I found the place where we meet in every life.
There I'll wait for us to watch the setting sun.
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing in the moonlight.
It's fine...
although you didn't treat me well...
at least you have brought me to this world.
Okay, I'll have to go now.
I'll be fine with father.
When I have the time, I'll come visit you again.
I'm leaving now.
Water Immortal.
Now that Jin Mi has gone to pay her respect to Zi Fen,
I'll like to ask you about something.
Water Immortal, you are too serious.
I'll tell you whatever I know.
When I was checking on Jin Mi's true form,
I found that besides the Jialan Seal in her body,
there's also another restriction.
I've asked Lao Hu...
but he wouldn't tell me no matter what.
Do you know anything about it?
That restriction was planted by the late chief.
She has predicted that Jin Mi will face a trial in 10,000 years.
It's for Jin Mi to block out that trial.
Regarding the details,
we are not sure of it.
Is that right?
However, please be at ease.
The late chief planted this restriction...
out of a parent's love.
It does nothing bad to Jin Mi,
please be at ease with it.
Since it's Zi Fen's idea,
I'll let it go.
Sister Zhang, the Water Immortal is Jin Mi's father.
Why can't we tell him the truth about the Yun Elixir?
Water Immortal has always been kind and soft-hearted,
adapts to nature.
Based on his temperament,
if he knows that the Yun Elixir...
is used to suppress Jin Mi's true nature,
most likely he will remove it.
In case late chief's prediction has come true,
Jin Mi will face a 10,000 year love trial.
How do we explain ourselves to the late chief then?
Next time, at the Highest Palace,
you can't just speak as you like.
Please be at ease, father.
I'll just sit here quietly and listen to you all speak.
I will not speak as I want...
and will definitely not speak to Heavenly Empress.
She won't have any excuse to go against me then.
If she tries to trouble you, you don't have to be afraid of her.
Water Immortal! Water Immortal!
Rat Immortal.
Where are you going, Water Immortal?
I'm bringing my daughter to the Highest Palace.
This is my daughter, Jin Mi.
Mi Er, greet the Rat Immortal.
Greetings, Immortal.
You look like you are in a rush, are you going to Mortal Realm now?
I was about to go look for you.
What's the matter? Why are you looking for me?
- Fairy Jin Mi. - Fish Fairy.
- What a coincidence. - Are you going to patrol the night?
I am not in the rush for it as it's still early.
Oh right, you just went back to the Flora Realm.
Did the chiefs punish you?
That's good.
You must be really careful coming to the Heaven Realm.
The Heavenly Empress is still angry,
I'm worried that it'll be a disadvantage for you.
Why don't you let me accompany you,
so that you'll be looked after?
You don't have to worry about me.
You must not let me hold up on your duty time.
By spending time speaking to me,
I'm guessing I've already hold up your time to form the night.
No, you don't.
Courtesy to your kind words last time,
saying that you liked me,
I've been grateful for it, from the bottom of my heart.
It's my pleasure to be able to serve you,
just that I have an engagement since young,
I'm worried that I'll have to let you down on your kindness.
What's the big deal? We are friends.
Fish Fairy, even if you have an engagement,
I would still like you.
I like you too.
Greetings, Immortal.
I was careless and did not notice your presence,
please forgive me.
I didn't know when you came by...
but, you must have overheard some of the conversation between Jin Mi and I.
- Fish Fairy. - I hereby ask for your forgiveness.
Fish Fairy!
I wonder what sin you've made.
I don't mind listening to it.
I have sinned greatly.
The sin is that,
I shouldn't go against the engagement made for me...
by father and Water Immortal.
But instead, I've fallen for Jin Mi.
I'm not an amazing or great man...
but I'm not a half-hearted person.
Since Jin Mi and I have fallen for each other,
I will only love her for the rest of my life,
of course I can't marry someone else then.
Therefore,
I'll have to break the engagement made about marrying your eldest daughter.
I know that I've sinned greatly,
please punish me accordingly.
But I'm the Water Immortal's eldest daughter,
then why did he mention that he likes me...
but can't marry me?
Oh right, Fish Fairy doesn't know about it yet.
Please stand up, Night Immortal.
Quickly stand up, Fish Fairy.
Do you know the cost for breaking this agreement?
My immortality will be taken away, I will be demoted to a human.
If I can be with Jin Mi for the rest of my life,
giving up Heaven Realm's luxurious life will not be a problem.
You can't do that!
The mortal is just like a grain in the wide sea,
time passes in a glimpse of an eye...
but would need to experience the pain of birth, death, illness and old age.
Will you be afraid to face it for Mi Er?
As long as I'm able to be with my loved ones,
I'm not afraid of the death.
I've decided and will not regret no matter what.
Okay.
I'll remember what you said today.
I hope that you won't forget it.
Mi Er, let's go.
Goodbye, Fish Fairy.
Don't be afraid.
Today I've...
received the best Phoenix harp in all of six realms...
and it's also a family gathering.
Everyone, please enjoy and give your comments.
My son is well-versed in both literature and military affairs,
he can also play the harp very well.
Since Xu Feng was young, I've taught him that...
the art of play music instrument is the nature's freedom.
Right now, day and night change like a flowing river,
there are many aspects in the human's world,
Xu Feng can easily play it...
and become one with the instrument.
Only my son deserves...
the best Phoenix harp in all of six realms.
Heavenly Empress, you have brought him up well.
Reporting to your Majesty, Water Immortal wishes to meet you.
Water Immortal knows about the musical temperament,
he'll be a good judge on it.
- Invite him in quickly. - Yes.
Jin Mi?
Mi Er!
Phoenix.
Water Immortal, what do you mean by this?
Is Highest Palace a place for a common fairy to step in?
I have an important matter to discuss.
Why don't you all go back first?
- We will gather again next time. - Please wait.
It's not anything too serious,
I just want to ask the Heavenly Emperor...
to take back 5000 years of fire magical prowess...
that goes against my daughter's own prowess.
- Daughter? - Daughter?
That's right.
Ji Min is the daughter of Zi Fen and I.
What?
Water Immortal,
don't be fooled by this fairy.
Her true form is just a grape,
that day all the immortals saw it.
İt's too preposterous to say that she's the daughter of...
Water Immortal and Flora Immortal,
don't say it like that.
Zi Fen and Ji Mi do indeed look quite alike.
Dan Zhu, are you as confused as the Wine fairy?
Are you dim sighted as well?
What Heavenly Empress said is right.
Have the Immortal mistaken the wrong person?
Heavenly Empress, you don't have to worry about it.
If is not because of sinister people,
why would Zi Fen cast a spell to suppress...
Jin Mi's magical prowess right after she was born?
Heavenly Emperor, do you know why Flora Immortal passed away?
Flora Immortal's death is Heaven's will.
It's stated in the "Six Realm's Book of Records" that,
Flora Immortal was a water-lily petal on the Buddha's seat.
When she underwent reincarnation,
she should have been destroyed.
She didn't want enter the 3 Islands and 10 Continents,
so she was saved by Water Immortal and Xuan Ling Lord Doumu.
Once I step into the palace,
there's no turning back.
When the Heavenly Empress found out that Xu Feng was lost in Nirvana,
she has dreaded me since.
If I agree to marry the daughter of Water Immortal,
the Heavenly Empress will not turn a blind eye to it.
Also...
I thought that,
for the one you truly love,
even if met with misunderstandings and obstacles,
it'll be worth it, right?
I know what to do.
In defiance of Heaven's will, will be punished eventually.
Flora Immortal's death is just the counteract of her magical prowess.
When you were saving her,
you should have known the cause and effect of it.
Speaking of "Six Realm's Book of Records",
it also stated that,
the fire of hell is the magic that breaks the spirit,
it consists of 81 kinds.
Glass fire is one of the highest level, it also consists of 5 grades.
Poison fire is on the top,
it devours the spirit and burns the internal organs.
Only the Fire Immortals are able to control this magic.
Back then...
Night Immortal prince has arrived.
Greetings, father,
greetings, mother,
greetings, Water Immortal.
My son, Run Yu, you don't have to be overly courteous.
I heard that father has just received the best musical instrument,
the Phoenix harp.
I was forming the night, that's why I came late.
Looks like...
I've indeed missed out an interesting performance.
Now I have another regret in my life.
Water Immortal, do you know what's Jin Mi's true form?
If you don't tell, how can I undo the fire prowess?
Jin Mi was born on the night of frost fall.
She can plant, control the water and her constitution is cold.
Her true form is...
a six-petaled frost flower.
Frost flower?
It comes at night, disappears in the morning,
it comes and goes without a trace.
It floats so lightly...
unlike a grape, it's plump and cute.
Fairy Jin Mi,
what does Water Immortal mean by that?
Her constitution is indeed cold,
she's not my child.
What a shame.
That's 5000 years of magical prowess...
To my surprise, she is indeed Water Immortal's daughter,
what a shame.
Father, do you mean that...
Jin Mi is Water Immortal's daughter?
Jin Mi is Water Immortal's eldest daughter.
She's also your fiancée.
This...
Mi Er has been arranged to marry Run Yu,
what about Xu Feng?
Is this a deal that comes with recognising father?
Get a husband after recognising my father?
It's buy one, get one free?
Thank you father for your grace.
Thank you, Water Immortal.
Fish Fairy is a righteous man,
I feel comfortable being with him.
But...
Mi Er, are you willing to?
If you are not willing...
Xu Feng!
Getting... married?
It's fine, it's fine.
Thank you for your grace, Heavenly Emperor and father.
Why not use this grape vine first?
Thank you, Fish Fairy.
I heard, Fire Immortal lost his Huan Di Phoenix Feather...
in the Mortal Realm awhile ago,
but Jin Mi picked it up by accident,
I guess it's time to return it to it's owner.
This was picked up by me...
but Phoenix has already given it to me.
Xu Feng, quickly keep it safe.
What an auspicious day today.
Water Immortal got her daughter back,
Night Immortal has a wife...
and Fire Immortal got back what he lost.
It's a celebration, 3 blessings have descended upon us.
Okay,
we shall end it like this today.
Things that have been given out,
how could I just take it back?
Also,
what I've lost to you...
is not only just this phoenix feather.
If you want to return it...
then return everything to me.
If not,
you shouldn't return anything.
