"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 17"
Mi Er, take a bite.
I made these, eat them before they get cold.
Don't be afraid.
Everyone knows I am terrible at cooking.
But these flower biscuits actually taste good.
Take a bite.
Delicious.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
Your fresh flower biscuit tastes surprisingly delicious.
It tastes better than my baking.
You are just like your mother.
Both of you love to eat these.
But your personality...
are completely different from your mother.
Your mother was like a water lotus.
Clear like breeze but full of sorrow.
And you are like a cotton rose mallow.
Dance in the snow with full of happiness.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
Please tell me more about my mother.
I do not dare to ask my father.
I'm afraid that will trigger his sadness.
The moment your mother had been found by your father,
many things had been destined since then.
Master.
Why are you so flustered?
I found this baby girl in the woods.
Master, please save her life.
She is not a human baby,
but a petal from the arctic starflower of the Buddha's seat.
She accidentally got into the Reincarnation Roulette.
When light of guidance had been blown off,
she followed the weak light from a little crack,
then accidentally reached here, the 3 Islands and 10 Continents.
Her spirit is supposedly broken.
If you want to save her soul...
Luo Lin,
you have mercy on all things in the world,
but you also have to know...
everything in this world has their own ways to live.
Chances and fates have been destined.
If you try to ignore it, something bad will happen.
Master.
If we can save part of her soul,
I'm willing to bear the consequence of bad reverse.
And then?
Well, after that,
three of us began to learn and study about immortality...
on the 3 Islands and 10 Continents.
"Supreme Clarity Heaven"
According to Master's command, I take control of wind,
Luo Lin takes control of water,
Zi Fen took control of flower.
While we have some free times,
while the moon hangs high above the sky,
your mother took control of flowers, I formed wind,
your father summoned the snow.
That was the so-called “romantic theme”...
which included wind, flower, snow and moon.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
Three of you grew up together.
That makes me feel jealous.
But...
But, why would my mother fall in love with Heavenly Emperor?
My father is good enough for her.
Heavenly Emperor is a playful man.
His Majesty is skillful enough to get a girl.
At that time, His Majesty was the second prince of Heaven Realm.
One day, His Majesty dreamt and went into the state of illusion,
he saw Zi Fen.
His Majesty was amazed by her beauty...
and fell in love with her.
His Majesty swore that he would found this woman.
Therefore,
His Majesty went through six realms,
tried his best to find her,
His Majesty finally saw Zi Fen...
who was watching Chinese Opera in the Human Realm.
I'm standing in the garden,
break a part of the branch of weeping willow.
Let's go back.
The person who I missed so much...
turns out to be the Flora Immortal...
who is as cool as the rumours said.
After His Majesty realized that Zi Fen loves to watch Chinese Opera,
His Majesty often asked her out...
to watch the Chinese Opera as a date.
Actors acted as a sweet couple,
while the audience has an apple in his eyes.
At that time, Zi Fen was still wet behind the ears,
she knew nothing about the world.
Why would she not be attracted by him?
Why love? Why hate?
They didn't know...
the nightmare is caused by deep love but weak fate.
In spite of...
the beautiful...
natural view...
and the good time...
Aunt Lin Xiu.
I didn't know you can sing Chinese Opera.
You sang it so well.
Because your mother loved to enjoy it.
While time passes by, I learned how to sing.
The relationship between your mother and I...
is much deeper than your father and her.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
I got you.
I used to have a best friend.
After she left, I feel so miserable.
So I think I understand your feelings.
But you don't have to worry about it.
Even though my mother had gone away,
but I'll accompany you and my father every single day.
Zi Fen was just like my sister.
Therefore, from now on,
you will be my daughter.
Oh, yeah.
Did you memorise Formless Sutra well?
Of... Of course, I memorise them very well.
Well then, recite it tomorrow morning.
Just rest well today.
Aunt... Aunt Lin Xiu, see you.
Get some rest.
Phoenix.
It's such a short Brahma Spell,
but you had such a hard time reciting it.
The spell only has 49 lines,
and you only memorised 5 lines correctly.
It sure isn't easy at all.
I used to think that being Phoenix's reading assistant is a tough job.
I didn't know that...
being my father's daughter is just as tough as that.
Usually, Aunt Lin Xiu is a gentle and soft person,
but she's so harsh when she is teaching immortality.
What's wrong?
Is Mi Er blaming me?
Father.
When did you come here?
Father, have you ever thought that...
your daughter might not have the ability to be an immortal?
Mi Er,
I don't make you cultivate to make me proud.
The journey of cultivation is very tough,
but your mind can be tamed.
I hope you will not be an over-sheltered child.
Now that I'm by your side,
you are comfortably under my protection.
But that day will finally come,
when my life will end and I'll turn into ashes.
I can't protect you forever.
Father.
Please don't talk like that.
I don't want to hear this.
Difficulty is the nurse of greatness.
You have to go through a lot of challenges,
experience a lot of difficulties then you will be steeling yourself.
I asked you to study...
for you to turn into an understanding person,
an immortal who has self-respect, self-confidence and strength,
the one who can make her own way through the heaven and earth,
has a clear conscience,
and does not need to please others.
I hope you can understand me in the future.
What are you thinking about? You're lost in your thought.
Thinking about the good old days with Zi Fen.
Lin Xiu.
What kind of guy do you like?
I've never thought about that.
Really?
Of course. Why would I lie to you?
Haven't you ever thought about the man you will marry in the future,
and accompany each other for the rest of your life?
I have you and Luo Lin by my side in this life,
that is enough for me.
That means you like Brother Luo Lin.
Don't speak nonsense.
Brother is a handsome guy.
His appearance and talent are one of the very best in Heaven Realm.
Don't you like him?
How about you?
Do you like him?
I don't know.
Push me.
Hurry up. Push me higher.
Coming.
You have to be careful.
Don't fall.
- Higher. Higher. - Okay.
Zi Fen.
I said this before,
Mi Er and Zi Fen have different personalities.
But after some thoughts,
they actually share some similarities.
It has been such a long time. I've almost forgotten.
Sometimes, Zi Fen would be playful.
Time flies.
Unfortunately, Zi Fen left us too soon.
But, fortunately,
we still have these happy memories.
I used to think that...
three of us will be together forever,
living a happy life forever.
But fortunately,
she left Mi Er for us to look after.
The affairs of the world are inconstant.
In the past thousands of years,
I had never fulfilled my duty as a father,
I feel bad for Mi Er.
There's still time.
We still have years ahead of us to keep Mi Er company.
I believe that you will be a good father.
For my daughter,
I can give everything that I have.
By tomorrow,
I'll bring Mi Er to meet our master.
Why is this green lotus missing one of its petal?
Mi Er.
Luo Lin is here to meet Master.
Jin Mi is here to meet Master.
Get up.
- Thank you, Master. - Thank you, Master.
Is this the daughter of you and Zi Fen?
You're right.
May I ask you to remove her Jialan Seal?
I know this is too sudden.
I hope you can understand me.
It's like holding a candle to the sun. My efforts will be useless.
Can't the seal be removed?
If it can't be removed, my magical prowess won't increase.
Then how about Rou Rou?
Master, please tell me more about it.
For a person who is going to die,
removing Jialan Seal will make no difference.
Master, you are kind-hearted.
You save lives which are stuck into troubles.
I beg you, please save my daughter's life.
Saving a life isn't a mercy.
Saving hundreds of lives isn't a mercy.
Saving millions of lives is the so-called "mercy".
A ferocious tiger is injured badly in the forest, it's going to die soon.
Should I save its life or not?
Of course.
After the tiger heals and goes back to the forest,
it will hunt for deers and eat rabbits.
I save a life, but hurt hundreds of others.
If you don't use your mercy in the right way,
you are plunging the people into suffering.
Jin Mi is kind and honest, she doesn't know much about the world.
I'm sure she won't hurt anyone.
Please inspect it clearly.
As a leader of six realms,
I swear to the God...
if Master is willing to help Jin Mi to live through this trial,
I will pay a debt of four-fold gratitude...
and go through 3 ways to save living things from suffering.
What is life?
And what is death?
A person's face is shaped by his heart.
All things in the world are just a form.
If the heart stays still, everything will stay still.
If the heart remains, everything will remain.
Jin Mi,
come over here.
Love creates sadness, love also creates fear.
If you stay away from love, you won't suffer from sadness and fear.
I wish the ashes of Brahma can save you from the trial.
Thank you, Master.
Master, I heard that...
you are the Daluojin Immortal, who are well-powered by immortality.
I've been searching for you.
I practise hard every day in order to see you.
I have earned so many magical prowess now.
Can you do me a favor?
This is my best friend.
Her name is Rou Rou.
Can you bring her back to life?
Both of you are going to meet each other soon.
But still, both of you are going to say goodbye.
Really?
Thank you, Master.
As long as I can see her, I have nothing more to ask for.
Please forgive her for her boldness.
Please help her to remove the seal.
Thank you, Master.
Father.
Mi Er.
Seems like the seal has been removed.
But the trial...
It's not a big deal,
Master has given me the ashes.
Besides, I have protection from you and Aunt Lin Xiu,
I'm sure I'll be okay.
Well then.
That was an unworthy journey.
I even found out that I'll be dead soon.
Then, who is Rou Rou?
Rou Rou is my best friend.
But now, she's only a Succulent plant.
But it's okay.
Master mentioned just now,
I'll be seeing her again in the near future.
It's rare that you'd care for your friend so much.
Okay. It's time for me to go down and bring them rain.
Go back to Water Mirror, wait for me.
Don't go anywhere else.
Copy that. Be careful, father.
Are you Fairy Jin Mi?
I'm not sure if I'm the person you're looking for.
Does Heaven Realm have another immortal called Jin Mi?
You better don't misunderstand.
The one who is engaged with Night Immortal.
In that case, I'm the Jin Mi you are talking about.
I have a question to ask you.
Please forgive me for my bold action.
It's okay. Just ask.
My father said, as a real man,
a man has to have 4 wives, no matter in Heaven or Human Realm.
After Night Immortal gets married with you,
can he...
be married with another immortal?
Do you mind?
That is Night Immortal's business.
It has nothing to do with me.
I don't care. I don't care.
Has this Mustache Divine Soldier fallen in love with Fish Fairy?
May I know what kind of woman...
would catch the eyes of Night Immortal?
Fish Fairy only told me that he likes me,
but he's never said that he likes other immortals.
I think he likes someone like me.
But why did you ask this kind of question?
I have a friend...
who's been admiring Night Immortal for a long time.
But I don't know much about love.
Maybe she can go to Moon Immortal and ask for help.
He is an expert in this.
Fire Immortal.
Are you a new Divine Soldier?
I've never seen you before.
I'm working under Night Immortal.
Since you're under Night Immortal,
the sky is turning dark, why don't you go and prepare?
- What are you doing here? - Night Immortal said,
we can combine exertion and rest.
If there is a need to rest...
I'm going to prepare for my shift.
Go on.
Little Jin Mi.
You really keep your promise.
You have come to see me and Xu Feng.
Fox Fairy.
Uncle.
Good boy.
Little Jin Mi.
Since your real appearance has turned to a frost flower,
you have become thinner and weaker.
Being a round grape is even better, plump and cute.
Xu Feng, I give you a mission.
Bring her to the palace,
prepare some supplements for her.
She has so many aunts who care about her nowadays,
she is not my business anymore.
Enough of talking about me.
How about you?
As a Fox Fairy,
why would you have only one tail on your back?
I heard that Fox Fairy is supposed to have 8 or 9 tails,
and you are the greatest Fox Fairy in the world,
why are you so poor?
Don't you think a nine-tailed fox looks stupid?
Is it?
If I bend my tails downwards,
they will look like big moving brooms.
If I bend my tails upwards,
I'll look like a peacock that opens it's...
No.
Look like Sui He with open tails.
Sui He.
Your appearance now is much better than that.
I told you so.
Prince.
Don't talk bad behind others.
See. Speak of the peacock and here she is.
Such a coincidence. Aunt asked me to have a chat with her.
I plan to visit Qi Wu Palace after that.
Didn't know that I'd meet you here.
- Greetings, Moon Immortal. - Good girl.
I heard that Night Immortal and...
the eldest daughter of Water Immortal have been bonded by marriage.
Everything was ready, except the bride.
Now even Fairy Jin Mi has come,
also, you are the daughter of Flora Immortal,
this is like "all flowers bloom together".
Have you fixed the date?
Don't forget to invite me to your wedding.
The date?
It will be fixed soon.
My mother is still waiting for you.
Don't let her wait too long.
You're right.
I will take my leave now.
Jin Mi.
Remember to inform me when the date is fixed.
Sure. Don't worry.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Let me ask you a question.
Are you going to marry Run Yu?
Shouldn't I?
Everyone seems to be very happy.
Father and Aunt Lin Xiu have agreed.
They think this a good decision.
Why do you look like this...
every time we talk about this marriage?
Xu Feng.
You!
What is good about it?
You're supposed to marry Xu Feng.
You think he is a good guy? Then why don't you be his partner?
I won't be your competitor, don't worry.
You...
Xu Feng.
Phoenix, are you okay?
No big deal.
It is just some former affliction...
which was caused by the poison of plague needle.
Hold it, it will go away soon.
Since you're sick, you should get a treatment soon.
How can you hold it and not to get a treatment?
I'll take you to Lord Lao now.
Calm down, Fox fairy.
I can save him.
You?
Since when did you learn medical skill?
He is my dearest nephew.
You better be cautious.
Don't worry.
I have the night rattan which is handed down from my ancestors.
It can treat the poison of plague needle.
Sacred grass from Flora Realm.
I didn't see this coming.
Okay, hurry up.
- Send him back to Qi Wu Palace. - Okay.
Let's go.
Little Jin Mi.
I will leave Xu Feng to you.
Please take good care of him.
Don't worry, I will take care of him.
Luckily, I made the night rattan that I grew into a pill.
Otherwise, I really don't have a way to save him.
Are you awake?
This is the water of night rattan that I made for you just now.
Since you're awake, you have to drink it yourself.
What happened?
Headache.
Aren't you having a chest pain?
Why would it be a headache now?
I feel pain all over my body.
I'm not sure where does the pain come from.
I think this is the so-called...
"one who committed injustices is doomed to failure."
You've always bullied me because you have high magical prowess.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
Let me help you up. Drink it.
- What's the matter? - Too hot.
What's the matter again?
Too bitter.
Now, give it a try.
What's the matter now?
- Too... - Too what?
You don't want to eat it, right?
If you still behave like this,
I'll feed you like how I did last time.
You...
Has your night rattan...
been laid aside for too long?
It's lost its effect.
Why do I still feel miserable after drinking it?
It's impossible.
What happened to you?
I still feel the pain in my chest now.
What should I do?
Or else...
Or else, let me rub it?
Good idea.
Lay down.
You're finally asleep.
Five times.
Five times in a row.
I planted the night rattan for 5 times to cure his pain.
What a waste.
Now I know...
you still care about me.
You are already dead,
you are not supposed to roll your eyeballs.
Wrong. Wrong.
You have to show the whites of your eyes, stick your tongue out,
harden your neck and fall.
Can you?
Look at me.
Show the whites of your eyes, stick your tongue out.
Give it a try.
Your eyebrows are not right.
You should move...
your eyebrows upwards.
Like this.
You are a mythical beast.
You don't even know to pretend to be dead.
Why are you so stupid?
What are you doing?
That's right! That's right!
Just like this. Just like this.
Stay still.
Hold your breath. Don't move.
You've done a good job this time. Good job.
- Beast of dream. - Maintain it.
What is...
It died.
Died?
You...
Not bad. Not bad.
You learned 50% of my skill.
Keep it up.
As a reward for you,
I'll change your menu for tomorrow.
How about cabbage?
So Mi Er you're the one who taught it.
As the saying goes, "having a skill..."
is better than reading hundreds of books."
This small mythical beast seems so weak and small,
I'm afraid other mythical beasts might bully it.
So I taught it Jin's secret skill.
The skill of pretending to be dead is more useful than...
flying up and down or other weird skills.
Am I right?
Do you want to learn, Fish Fairy?
Do you want me to teach you?
I don't want to learn that.
And I don't want you to learn that.
As long as I'm by your side,
I'll protect you from any disasters.
I'm not going to let you have any chance to use this...
Jin's secret self-defense skill.
Fish Fairy.
You look as if...
you've drunk 10 jars of Osmanthus wine...
or being possessed.
Father.
Water Immortal.
Mi Er.
Where have you been last night?
Last night...
- Last night, I went to... - I heard that...
my uncle likes to watch the highlights of Chinese Opera lately.
Yesterday, there was a Chinese Opera in the House of Marriage.
Mi Er and my uncle have been getting along very well,
I think she was invited to enjoy the opera over there.
Yes.
I went for the Chinese Opera yesterday.
Moon Immortal likes it when it's lively.
Father, go with me next time.
Moon Immortal will be so happy to meet you.
I like to enjoy the serenity.
I can't take the noises,
If you like it, just go on.
There's no rain in Flora Realm today.
Why would a rainbow show up?
Mi Er likes to play around.
I'm afraid that she can't find her way home.
So I used the mist to build a rainbow bridge.
So...
whenever and wherever she is,
she can find her way home as long as she looks up.
And also to recall that...
at the end of the rainbow bridge,
there is a...
there is a beast of dream which is waiting for her to come back.
It doesn't seem like waiting for me.
Night Immortal.
Let me tell you honestly.
At first, I planned to cancel your marriage with Mi Er.
But, when I passed by the Northern Heavenly Gate,
I saw both of you talking to each other.
Even though I hate the heavenly family,
I can't let my daughter follow her mother's footsteps.
The only wish that I have now...
is to let you and your lover to be together...
and live happily ever after.
It's hard to find true love no matter it's the heaven or human's world.
In the past few days, I've seen his sincerity.
As a father, I feel at ease.
Night Immortal is a gentle man, he handles things properly.
I can entrust you to him.
Mi Er doesn't know much about the world,
I hope you can take care of her.
Mi Er.
Since you love Night Immortal,
then you have to clear your mind, so you can be together forever.
Don't make Night Immortal worry about you, understand?
I know.
I won't let you down, I will take good care of Mi Er.
Mi Er has just reunited with you not long ago,
both of you should some more time together,
I better leave now.
Come on, beast of dream.
Father, let's go.
Night Immortal is gentle and kind,
he will be a great partner.
Father seems to like Fish Fairy a lot.
Mi Er.
Don't go to Qi Wu Palace so often.
Don't make Night Immortal worry.
Why? We are friends.
In that case, Phoenix will be not happy.
Although Fire Immortal is an outstanding immortal,
he is of high ranked immortal, he is ego,
he can't accept any imperfection.
Besides, he is not generous and kind.
And his mother...
Forget about it.
Since you and Run Yu are already engaged,
you have to think about his feelings.
Don't hurt him anymore.
Do you get it?
News from the front line.
At the northwest of downstream of River of Unmindfulness,
the lords from Northern and Western city in Demon Realm...
are fighting for domains.
The cities have been in war for several months.
It's the River of Unmindfulness again.
Do the 3 kings of Demon Realm not care about it?
Your Majesty, we have to come out with a solution.
Or else, Heaven Realm will be involved.
Your Majesty, Your Highness, don't worry.
I have been noticing the news from the front line.
There's enmity between the 2 lords in Demon Realm.
They have never liked being ruled by 3 kings.
Now they are fighting for domains between their kinds,
they have not crossed the line yet.
Your Majesty.
I think...
in all things, success lies in previous preparations.
River of Unmindfulness is the border of Heaven Realm and Demon Realm.
This fight could turn out to be worse,
we can't ignore it.
I think...
we can send a troop to the front line...
to guard the upstream of River of Unmindfulness as a deterrence.
Xu Feng has his point.
For the past few years, there have been riots in Demon Realm.
Xu Feng.
You have to help your father to solve these problems.
Don't worry, Heavenly Empress.
Your Majesty, you are too welcome.
I have been thinking about it.
I know I had been behaving improperly in the past,
from now on,
I'll be loyal to Your Majesty,
Heaven Realm,
put all my effort into helping you.
I'm willing to lead the troop myself to guard the border.
I'm also willing to do so.
Okay.
Fire Immortal, you need to go to the Divine Army Mansion immediately,
choose an elite troop by yourself...
and head to the River of Unmindfulness.
If there are any changes, take action according to the circumstances.
Copy that.
