"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 20"
He's become a mortal, indeed.
Save me.
Someone from Heaven Realm?
The anger of Nether is back in mortal world,
yet the Immortality Destructing Tribe is not yet extinct?
The people of Immortality Destructing Tribe can call out anger of Nether.
They are no ordinary people.
Could it be him?
Xuan Er.
Demon Lord.
- Xuan Er. - Is the prince getting better?
He's still the same.
No sign of waking up.
Fire Immortal said that after taking the Golden Reinvigorating Elixir,
the prince will wake up in 3 days' time.
But it has been so many days now,
the prince is not yet awake.
Those from Heaven Realm...
can't be trusted indeed.
Xu Feng...
I think that...
the Fire Immortal purposely...
disregarded the princes' lives.
Now that Prince Xuan Shou is unconscious,
Prince Chi Shou is mentally unstable,
there's no heir to the throne of Demon Lord,
our future is so unsure.
This is clearly Heaven Realm's conspiracy...
to oppress the Demon Realm.
If Xuan can't regain consciousness,
I will never let...
that brat, Xu Feng, off easily.
He killed so many soldiers.
Could he be a bandit in run?
One who practises medicine will save anybody.
But, this bandit has quite a delicate skin.
There's only external injuries.
The blood seems to be other people's blood.
So many people have died,
you're the only one who survived.
How lucky you are.
It's quite difficult and complicated.
Consider yourself lucky.
You met an outstanding healer like me.
Or you'll be dead.
I'll be making your medicine now.
Lie still.
This is not just a bruise or a graze.
It was clearly caused by a sharp object.
What happened exactly?
I remember very clearly that...
he attacked me with his blade.
Someone from Heaven Realm?
Back then, my chest suddenly turned warm.
When I caught on,
I noticed it was only a flesh wound.
That person was a coward.
He ran away when he couldn't hit me.
That's why I have no idea what actually happened.
That was close.
You're blessed.
Thank god you're fine.
Do you remember who attacked you?
He was wearing a mask.
I couldn't see his face clearly.
This is weird.
We keep away from the world and are always kind.
Who would want to kill you?
I think he didn't intend to kill me, but I was in his way.
By the way,
don't tell aunt and the elders about this.
It's just a scratch.
Don't make them worry, okay?
Finally I've found you.
Why... Why are you standing here in the middle of the night?
I was just about to ask you this.
The thousand-year snow ginseng...
is the guiding herb to King Yi's Eternal Pill.
Why did you take it out?
You're right.
I was about to refine the medicine for King Yi with it.
Are you kidding me?
The pill is not even ready yet.
What do you need the guiding herb for?
Are you...
going to heal somebody else with it?
Cut it out.
Somebody else?
When I was dressing your wound,
you were already hesitating.
Something is fishy.
Did you encounter someone in the mountain?
A healer must be kind-hearted.
Practise the kindness regardless of a person's status.
Have you forgotten madam's teaching?
So it's true.
Who is it?
Regarding this,
it's better if you don't know about it.
If madam and the elders find out,
you're doomed.
I can't just sit and watch you getting into trouble.
Let's just keep this between us.
I won't die if you keep it a secret.
- Qiang Huo. - But...
Jin Mi, you're our Saintess.
Give me. Give it to me.
I'll just ask you.
In the 100 years since Holy Healer Tribe started,
we've served 6 generations of King Yi.
But did any saintess succeed in making the Elixir of Life?
Which King Yi actually lived forever?
If there's such a thing as living forever,
why would the sixth King Yi exist?
Living forever...
is just an unrealistic dream of the people in power.
We make medicines,
we knew that it's an impossible lie.
Why can't we give the herbs...
to those in need?
I can't just see you die or let everyone else die because of you.
Qiang Huo, listen.
I'm Saintess. Don't worry, I'll bear all the responsibilities.
At worst I'll give him my life.
My life belongs to King Yi anyway.
You don't mind your life, but I can't let you kill yourself.
I can listen to you when it's about something else.
But not this.
Qiang Huo.
Sorry.
You're...
I'm sorry, Qiang Huo.
Women's clothes?
Could it be...
Could it be that I'm dead?
Or my soul has left my body?
This person just can't sleep properly.
He even took off his clothes when he's sleeping.
As expected from the thousand-year snow ginseng.
Why does she look familiar?
He's mute?
Why can't I speak?
It wasn't me!
I can't even hear?
He's also deaf?
Why did I even pick up this sword?
I've troubled myself.
I...
Heal...
- I... - Did she save me?
I dressed your wounds.
He finally got it.
I'm your saviour.
I saved you,
but you repay my kindness with violence?
You almost broke my back just now.
Your clothes.
Your clothes are stained with blood.
They stink.
You can't wear them anymore.
Can't wear anymore.
What actually happened to me?
Who is that man in black?
Was he sent by Lord Nanping?
If you want to say anything,
write it down with this.
What's my problem?
So, this bandit is educated.
He has a nice handwriting.
Every disease is different. So does the medicament.
Can you tell me your diet in details?
Braised razor clams with melon, deer stew with radix root,
gourd and licorice soup,
chicken stew with ginseng and fragrant solomon's seal,
partridge stew with fritillaria.
A bandit is actually able to...
eat such fine food?
You fainted because of...
exhaustion after fighting with others.
But the cause of your mute and deaf problem...
has been brewing for a long time.
It's due to incompatible medicament.
I'm poisoned?
Melon and razor clam can't be mixed with radix root.
Ginseng and fragrant solomon's seal can't be mixed with gourd.
In 2 of your daily meals, there are some dishes...
that affect each other in a bad way.
You'll be seriously poisoned if you eat like that every day.
If you're not treated in time,
you'll die in less than a year.
Can it be cured?
An extraordinary disease...
is for an extraordinary person.
It's a piece of cake.
Look at how diabolical you were just now,
you almost strangled me to death.
I'll let you try some strong medicine then.
I had to test them myself before this,
but now...
Princess,
you've never liked something so violent and rough.
But why are you training a Feihuang Army now?
My cousin likes it.
In a chaotic world, the emperor must be someone who has a strong army.
If I can't even help in such trivial military matter,
how can I be a helpful wife in the future?
When the king learns of your thoughtfulness,
he'll be really happy.
By the way, don't spread the news about...
us training the soldiers.
We'll surprise him...
- when he's back. - Yes.
Tell them to practise seriously. I'll reward them when they succeed.
Yes.
This is bad, princess.
What is it?
- Something happened to the king. - What?
Fire Immortal is going through redemption in the mortal world.
Is the news true?
I saw it with my own eyes.
The Fire Immortal is a mortal now.
He's almost dead after fighting only about 100 people.
Since he is a dying mortal,
why didn't you kill him?
Demon Lord,
I wanted to kill him.
When I was about to do so,
a girl wearing a veil came between us.
I thought she was only a mortal and attacked her,
but my attack was countered by a magical power.
She seemed to be protected by a magical object.
I was afraid that the divine army would be lying in ambush,
I didn't dare to act recklessly.
So I retreated and report this to you.
Useless!
You can't even handle a dying mortal.
Yet you call yourself a demon?
Go and be a mortal then!
- Get lost! - Yes, My Lord.
The Immortality Destructing Tribe is back,
we've also alarmed the Fire Immortal.
Does the god want me dead?
Congratulations, Demon Lord.
This is a very good sign.
Of all the people in Demon Realm,
you're the most unruly one for not being straightforward.
What do you mean?
If we kill Fire Immortal with an ordinary weapon,
we'll only help him to end his redemption...
and return to Heaven Realm sooner.
What good would that do?
So, you mean...
we'll just watch him...
live his life freely in the human's world?
Demon Lord, have you forgotten about...
the Immortality Destructing Arrow?
Fire Immortal is standing redemption...
while the Immortality Destructing Tribe has reappeared.
Isn't this a perfect chance?
Do you mean...
we'll seize the Immortality Destructing Arrow...
and kill Fire Immortal?
Demon Lord, you're brilliant.
Use this opportunity...
to avenge both princes.
In the past, because Fire Immortal was there,
the Heaven Realm had always been controlling us,
trying to enforce their stupid laws on us...
and disturb our peace and freedom.
Even if this is not for my pity sons,
I can't stand it anymore. I will fight!
You have always been helpful.
I'll let you take care of it.
Remember,
don't ever let that old King of Biancheng notice.
Yes, My Lord.
Bird Immortal, Xu Feng,
I will definitely seek revenge for my sons!
My sons,
I will kill Fire Immortal and Qiong Qi...
and avenge you by destroying their primordial spirits!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Please have a look.
So this is...
the Immortality Destructing Arrow made from your bone and blood?
Yes.
How do we use it?
Place it on an arrow and release it.
It can kill any gods or demons that are in its way.
They will definitely turn into ashes...
and can never be saved.
Great.
I've already talked to the Immortal Yuanji.
- You can do it without fear. - Yes.
If Jin Mi is able to return to Heaven Realm,
you will bear the responsibility.
I got it.
I must have been bewitched.
I defied my people's law...
and saved him with the precious herb.
Is this the so-called "healer's heart is like a parent's heart"?
Forget it.
Since you're the first patient that I take care of,
consider it a gift for our first meeting.
Get rid of the bitterness with my grape.
Is it sweet?
It's really sweet, right?
They look very sweet.
It's so sour!
It's so sour! It's not sweet at all.
Liar.
How dare you make fun of me?
I love sour taste.
So you're someone who has sour face when you're jealous, huh?
Your wife is surely unlucky.
When will I recover?
You'll recover in just half a month.
If I may ask, what's your age?
The time passes very slowly in the mountain,
while the outside world changes very quickly.
Maybe you should ask me how old I am.
Since I can remember things,
I've been learning how to speak mysteriously and ambiguously.
If not, how can I make the old people...
and the little girls in my tribe listen to me?
You look of the same age as me.
But when it comes to knowledge and skills,
you'd have to call me senior.
She doesn't seem old,
but the way she talks is very profound.
Is she really knowledgeable...
or just pretending to be so?
How did you provoke the officials?
People of Liang Guo.
People of Liang Guo?
What about them?
They intruded our land and captured the women.
With those crimes, everyone would want to kill them.
You're one deep person.
If you're so high-spirited, why don't you join the army...
but became a bandit instead?
I got it.
The world is in chaos now.
Soldiers are no different from thieves.
I sure got it.
You're admirable.
I'm not joking.
Why is this bandit...
so temperamental?
He was just fine a few minutes ago,
but his mood changes in a blink of an eye.
Now he's ignoring me with his gloomy face.
His face is so gloomy, as dark as a crow.
Now that I look at him clearly, he does look like a crow.
I'd just call you crow from now on.
Crow, crow.
Why did you save me?
Don't give me the crap like a healer has a heart of a parent.
I won't believe that.
You look like a gentleman who is unparalleled in the world.
You really have to thank your parents...
for giving you such a handsome face.
Then I won't think...
using the precious herbs on you is a waste.
The strongest person survives.
As a healer, I'm just responding to the nature.
The chosen one will live a good life at the end.
Don't forget to help the others by then.
So many people died.
The whole mountain was filled with the smell of blood.
You're the only one alive. Who else would I save if not you?
But since I took you back,
why don't you help me to test the medicine?
Consider that helping the Holy Healer Tribe.
People use their hands to play chess,
but we literally use our hands to have a talk.
I'll stop here.
I'm leaving to buy some food.
Bye.
Don't worry.
I will think of a way to get you the right clothes.
But you look quite good in girl's clothes.
What an ignorant village girl.
Greeting, princess.
It has been a couple of days,
have you not heard from My Lord yet?
Shen Ce Mansion has sent 12 Guardians of Eagle Rider...
to every state in order to look for My Lord secretly.
What can the secret guardians do?
Why don't we send a large troop?
Liang Guo Army is stationed at the border and eyeing us at the moment.
People are easily swayed during this troubled period.
All the lords agreed that...
we should tell no one about this matter.
There is no time to lose now.
If something happens to my cousin,
you will bear the responsibility.
I swear I'll stand by My Lord.
Report!
- An urgent news, General Qin. - What's the matter?
According to the news, My Lord and the others...
were ambushed by Liang Guo Army in Mount Luo Ye 10 days ago.
Have they seen My Lord?
Except for My Lord who has gone missing,
among dozens of guards, none of them survived.
They are all killed.
How many enemies were there?
There are about 200 dead bodies of the enemy found in the mountain.
All of them were killed on the spot.
When My Lord went out for hunting,
My Lord was only escorted by 18 guards.
No ones knows his identity. He was not armed.
I'll discuss with my father about the rescue plan.
Princess.
"Lord Nanping Mansion"
You are not married yet. How could you say that?
It's inappropriate to do so.
Cousin and I have prenatal betrothal for 18 years.
This marriage was arranged by the late King back then.
Everyone in Huai Wu knows about that. No one dares to take it lightly.
I've already considered myself a part of Yi Palace for very long time.
I swear I'll go through life and death with him.
If he survives, that'd be great.
But if he comes to a bad end,
I'll be his widowed bride.
I mean it.
You are my only daughter.
What you said hurts me so badly.
Sorry for my unfilial behaviour, I've let you down.
I tell you my innermost feelings hoping that you would understand...
for him, I'd have nothing to lose.
I know.
I understand.
Well, well.
Get up quickly.
Be patient.
I was just informed to discuss with the Chancellor and the others.
We are confronting internal and external threats now,
we have to come up with a sovereign plan.
Speed is the key of warfare.
I'll wait for you until midnight.
If you are still in a hopeless tangle,
I'll lead my Fei Huang Troops to look for him in Mount Luo Ye.
You must not take the risk.
Just leave this matter to me.
Don't worry.
I will persuade Chancellor and the rest...
to send people and bring My Lord back.
Thank you, father.
I'll wait for your news then.
What do you mean?
You are a deaf mute...
but not physically disabled.
Why do you want me to change for you?
Could it be that the healers out there...
also help their patients to change?
Who made this rule?
Stop nagging already.
Hurry up and put on my cloth.
I'm the Saintess...
but now I have to serve you.
Oh, come on.
Those jerks from Liang Guo can't do anything right.
They can't handle King Yi...
even though their forces are ten, hundred times greater.
Moreover, we have to deal with the aftermath.
Lead your troops to search around the Mount Luo Ye.
You're only allowed to bring back his dead body.
Roger that.
These medicines are good for cooling,
stopping bleeding, reducing blood stasis and detoxing.
The liquid penetrates into the pores on your hands.
It would work better if you're treated internally and externally.
Finally, someone helps me to wash the thorny herbs.
The white medicine is for external use.
She puts on a veil over her face all the time.
She is proficient in medical care and outspoken.
Sometimes, she does not know the ways of the world.
Is it possible that she is from Holy Healer Tribe?
This is not what a gentleman would do.
She will not harm me since she has saved me.
Everyone has their own secrets.
She will show her true self...
when she is willing to do so.
You have worked hard these few days.
Have a good rest.
He is a bandit who killed countless people,
but after getting along with him for some times,
he doesn't seem that bad,
he has good manners too.
He seems to have no way out but to be a bandit.
It's not easy for everyone to survived in troubled times.
I have to stop making fun of him.
I have to treat him properly.
Look at our chimes, lady.
And this one.
Look, how pretty it is.
Get one for yourself.
Using invisibility trick on the street?
Sneaking around.
Could that be someone's Shadow Guardian?
"Gucheng Mansion"
Offer rewards to your hidden guardians and the demons...
to arrest the remnants of Immortality Extinction Tribe...
and look for Immortality Extinction Arrow.
The numbers of Immortality Destructing Tribe remnants...
and Immortality Destructing Arrow are unknown currently.
Could you please enlighten us, Your Majesty?
Get as many as you could.
Don't bring back the first Immortality Destructing Arrow.
Use it to fight against Xu Feng in human's world.
If you seize any remnant of Immortality Destructing Tribe...
or you get a clue about their whereabouts,
report it to me immediately.
Mu Ci.
Xu Feng.
- Roger. - If this news goes out...
You sneaked into my mansion...
and eavesdropped on us on the beam.
Is this the parenting style of Biancheng Palace?
Kill me if you want. Don't drag my father in.
I will kill you and of course your father too.
I assume you've set Demon Lord up too.
Without Demon Lord's knowledge,
you look for Immortality Destructing Arrow...
and Immortality Destructing Tribe.
Your evil intention can be seen so clearly.
Kill her.
Liu Ying always ruins my plans.
Send my order.
Tell them it's an order from Demon Lord.
Kill Liu Ying from Biancheng right away if anyone sees her.
Roger.
