"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 35"
Fine.
I'm a reasonable person.
I have two choices for you.
Either you sever ties with the Dong Ting remnants...
and punish them on your own,
or bear the punishment on behalf of them...
to atone for your mother's sins.
I...
I'm at fault.
I'm willing to exchange my life for another.
Run Yu!
Good.
You know the rules.
I can never betray my mother and my mother's tribe anymore.
I'm willing to bear all the consequences.
Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.
Thunder God, your Heavenly Thunder,
Lightning Goddess's Infinite Lightning,
and also my Lotus Nether Flames,
even Qiong Qi couldn't endure it in the past.
I wonder if the Night Immortal can...
endure this extreme punishment today.
Please punish me, mother.
Fine.
Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.
Execute!
Your Majesty!
This is the Highest Palace.
And His Highness is His Majesty's son...
Do it!
Big brother!
I thought that he's calm...
and different from Xu Feng.
Who knows he's also impatient.
Siblings like broken pieces.
Body like the dead.
Furiously the nether fire burns.
Surging waves of bloody sea.
Sobbing on the tomb.
Away from the empty bones.
Mother!
This is so I heard.
Bow down to summon the Bhagava.
Don't you dare to slack off!
Run Yu!
- Big brother! - Run Yu!
- Wake up! - Wake up, Run Yu!
- Wake up, big brother! - Wake up!
Wake up!
Empress, you're a witch!
I was the one who harmed your son!
Come at me!
She's so ignorant and neglectful.
Big brother!
Your Majesty.
There's no Glass Flame in the Heavenly Thunder and Lightning Punishment.
If you use the Glass Flame,
the Night Immortal will die.
Don't do that!
Then, should I keep the Glass Flame for you two?
What did the Night Immortal do...
to make Your Majesty execute such heavy punishment on him?
Water Immortal,
you've harboured the criminals.
I was merciful enough for letting you off.
Don't go overboard.
What's with murdering the Heavenly Emperor's offspring then?
Run Yu ignored my orders first.
He agreed to take on the blame for 30,000 remnants.
How does that concern me?
Enough!
- Respects to Your Majesty. - Respects to Your Majesty.
Come.
Send out my decree at the Southern Heavenly Gates.
The principal culprit Su Li is unforgivable,
she's been executed.
Water tribe in Dong Ting Lake was threatened by her,
so it's reasonable.
Since it's the first offence,
I'll exclusively pardon everyone.
Hope that you will all start afresh...
and stay loyal to the Heaven Realm.
If the offence is made again, no one will be spared.
Your wish is my command.
Your Majesty is the good guy now.
Night Immortal.
I, on behalf...
of the 36,400 survivors of Dong Ting Lake,
thank Your Majesty's grace.
Will mother please order to release?
Heavenly Empress,
clear up the mess.
The Heavenly Punishment is more torturing than being dismembered.
It's harder to heal too.
If I was you,
I would rather break my own guts...
and end myself once and for all.
Rest assured, mother.
I will not die.
I'll stay alive and healthy...
and see that you...
fulfil your Supreme Immortal Oath...
by releasing everyone...
and no turning back.
Big brother!
- Your Highness! - Run Yu!
He's not going to make it.
Mother...
I'm so cold.
So cold.
Your Highness.
Brother Run Yu.
Mother...
So hot...
His Highness once said...
if someone loses too much blood and gets too cold,
one's internal organs will feel like they're burning.
Mother.
Your Majesty.
You've promised to let me handle the matter.
But you've softened up at the last minute.
You are the good guy now.
I have to be the total bad guy.
If you continue to pursue this,
and make everyone angry and mad,
what will it benefit the both of us?
Who is to blame?
You have always been too tolerant of him,
then he returned the favour by inflicting damage to us.
He doesn't even acknowledge me now,
he ran to his evil mother instead.
After fighting by Dong Ting Lake,
he's even protecting the remnants.
If this goes on,
he might overturn the whole Heaven Realm.
He won't be able to do it while I am here.
There are differences in their classes.
Who to protect and who to neglect between Run Yu and Xu Feng,
I have my own mind.
I'll remember Your Majesty's words.
And I hope you'll never forget.
Your Highness.
You're finally awake.
Did she release them?
Don't you care about your own life anymore?
I've promised mother...
to protect Li Er.
There are so many Li Er in Dong Ting Lake.
That Li Er from Li Marsh before...
had stayed under someone else's roof for few thousand years.
I don't want them to make the same mistake again.
Night Immortal, you've put yourself in other peoples' shoes,
it's indeed a blessing for water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.
Immortal.
You're hurt badly.
Hurry and lay down.
Immortal,
I have a small request.
My powers are limited...
and I can't fight the Heavenly Empress.
Please be kind and merciful...
and please take care...
of the homeless water tribe.
Rest assured.
I will do my best.
After what happened at Dong Ting Lake,
I've decided to fight with Heavenly Empress till the end.
Thank you, Immortal.
Kuang Lu.
Immortal.
Please don't tell anyone about my injury,
especially Mi Er.
I don't want her to be worried.
And I hope...
I hope she never sees me...
in such a mess.
Promise me.
Don't grieve for me.
Rou Rou!
Rou Rou! Rou Rou!
Rou Rou!
I will find the culprit...
and avenge you.
Pick an auspicious date after 3 months...
for Jin Mi and Run Yu's wedding.
Keep calm.
How many time did I teach you?
You've never understood.
Now that you and the Heavenly Empress are on bad terms,
this has put me in a difficult situation.
The Heavenly Empress might have gone overboard,
but she's doing it under my orders.
Rebelling against her means that you rebel against me.
Regarding everything that had happened in the Highest Palace...
just take it as a lesson.
I understand.
I've pardoned all the water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.
Today's matter coincides with our reputation.
The fact that you received Heavenly Thunder and Lightning punishment...
on behalf of the remnants in Dong Ting...
mustn't be mentioned in the future. Understand?
Yes.
Good.
Make a Supreme Immortal Oath.
I swear...
if father and mother never mention about this...
and pursue this,
I'll let this pass...
and never talk about it anymore.
Father.
Is my mother...
Is she really that unforgivable?
This judgement is final.
No use bringing it up again.
As a supreme immortal,
never cling to one thing or emotion.
You have more to learn.
Rest assured...
that your mother's wrongdoings have nothing to do with you.
I've just never thought that...
you would go against the Heavenly Empress.
I know I'm wrong.
I was anxious and didn't think much.
I didn't rush there right away...
because I was testing you.
I never knew that I would earn something from this.
The task to control the Heavenly Empress and the bird tribe...
lies upon you now.
Father.
If I didn't stand up back then,
will you not care about the life of the water tribe?
You're still young.
After living for another ten thousands of years,
then you will understand.
We live long but cultivate longer.
In our eyes,
they are the same as mayflies.
Their life is short and meaningless.
Even if the universe does not have them,
nothing will change.
This is what it meant by the nature's law is merciless.
These million years...
with such long immortality,
have father...
ever felt a sense of empathy?
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.
The Heavenly Emperor...
is the greatest prisoner...
in the whole universe.
So...
So my birth...
is just a pure conspiracy.
Mother.
I'm the one who made you suffer.
I'm guilty!
No.
It's him.
In this world,
he is the culprit...
to all of this.
In your heart,
there's no such thing about kinship or marriage...
or parenthood.
In your heart,
everyone is just a pawn in your hands.
The nature's law is merciless.
Father,
thanks for the guidance.
Stay alive.
What doesn't kill you...
will make you even stronger.
Where's Mi Er?
She was murmuring about Rou Rou just now.
She should be asleep by now.
How's the Night Immortal?
Old hatred and new vengeance. Catastrophes keep emerging.
No ways to complain about a heart filled with grief.
His hatred to the Heavenly Empress seems to be hard to solve.
What happened today had been contained by His Majesty,
but it's being spread around Heaven Realm.
Her Majesty's actions had caused public outrage.
But the Night Immortal...
hid his intentions and won the fight.
I've always thought that Night Immortal is gentle by nature.
Never thought that he's such a brave man.
He sacrificed himself...
and endured everything.
This magnanimity and spirit...
are hard to achieve.
Her Majesty overly exposed herself.
Extremes will meet.
The situation is changing.
Just wait and see.
Yu LAN.
What are you doing?
What happened?
Sister.
I'm at fault.
I've made a huge mistake.
That day, someone from water tribe of Dong Ting came for you...
to discuss alliance with us to fight against the Heaven Realm.
I was convinced and careless...
by trusting the man's words.
So...
I've told him of Jin Mi's parentage.
What?
Yu LAN!
How can you be so silly?
Jin Mi nearly got killed by Immortality Destructing Arrow...
during her time on earth...
was because of me.
I've divulged her identity.
It's all my fault.
I know that I'm in great sin.
I don't beg for your forgiveness, but I should end myself...
to atone my sins to the late Flora Immortal.
If you die like this,
how will you face her?
But if I live,
how will I face everyone?
Forget it.
I understand your intentions.
You wanted to seek revenge for the late Flora Immortal,
hence the mistake.
But Yu LAN,
since the late Flora Immortal didn't want us to avenge her,
she must've known that vengeance has no end.
She had returned to soil.
The only person she cared about was Jin Mi.
Seeing that you're regretful for what you did,
never mention this again...
and pretend it never happened.
Understood.
Promise me.
We have to all stand together...
and remember the late Immortal's last will...
to protect Jin Mi.
Yes, Sister Zhang.
Fairy Jin Mi.
Now I should call you Immortal Jin Mi.
It's nothing.
Are you here for His Highness?
You must've not heard.
The Heavenly Empress executed...
the biological mother whom His Highness just acknowledged...
on the spot for treason.
Ex... executed?
After his mother passed away,
His Highness never eats or sleeps.
Why don't you talk to him?
He always listens to you.
Alright.
Great Immortal.
Mi Er.
I've heard that your biological mother has passed away.
Though I don't know the whole story,
you are such a kind person,
your biological mother...
must be a gentle and kind woman.
When I had just recalled my childhood,
when I had just found my biological mother,
when I had just acknowledged her,
she was killed right in front of my eyes.
And I couldn't do anything about it.
I've just seen with my own eyes...
as Rou Rou perished in front of me...
for protecting me.
And I couldn't do anything, just like you.
I understand how you feel.
Rou Rou had said something before she perished.
She asked me to let go.
There's a phrase in the mortal world,
the dead is gone, the living lives on.
Your mother wouldn't want to see you like this,
you don't sleep nor eat.
She would never want you to give up on yourself.
The dead is gone and the living lives on.
Yes.
I think...
that's because they loved us so much.
So they couldn't bear to see us get hurt.
Love?
Mi Er.
You seem to be different from before.
What's the difference?
I've heard from Kuang Lu,
father had arranged a date for our wedding.
What is your plan?
If I say no right now,
he will be devastated.
When mother was alive,
I couldn't stay by her side.
Since she's now gone,
I wanted to propose to father...
to mourn her for 3 years.
Mi Er.
Now, you are the most important person to me.
Are you willing to wait for me?
I...
Can you accompany me for a while?
Having you by my side...
is the only time I won't feel hatred and pain.
Jin Mi.
I miss you so much.
Jin Mi.
Let me have a look at you.
Do you feel any changes after becoming an immortal?
I don't think you have changed.
I think otherwise.
She's completely different now.
Greetings, Chief Zhang...
and Chief Haitang.
Glad that you're safe...
or else I'd be sinful and guilty to the ancestors.
Sorry for making Chief Zhang worries.
It's all my fault as the father.
Who knows so much had happened in a few days time.
No wonder Heaven Realm prohibited us from interfering the redemption,
no one has expected that it's a trap.
The Flora Realm has had enough.
I have the same thought.
But don't you forget...
Zi Fen's last words to you.
We need to further discuss this matter.
The Flora Realm should stay out of this.
If it weren't for the guidance of late Flora Immortal,
my sister and I wouldn't have reached this level.
She kept reminding us not to seek for revenge...
but bullying Jin Mi...
means humiliating the Flora Realm.
How could we look on with folded arms?
I accept your goodwill...
and thank you for the kindness...
but Mi Er has suffered a lot in this redemption.
She needs a break to regain her strength.
I have to think it through as well.
Jin Mi, you've had a rough time.
I didn't suffer in mortal world...
because I had Rou Rou.
- However... - Rou Rou?
Where is Rou Rou?
Did she resurrect?
Rou Rou...
Rou Rou had resurrected...
but passed away afterward.
It's her destiny.
You don't have to blame yourself.
Your life in mortal world was actually a result of your obsession.
I personally think that...
Jin Mi has grown up a lot this time round.
Today, she refused being appointed as the Flora Immortal.
We're surprised.
When I heard that I have to take charge of the Flora Realm...
I got a headache.
I think you're right.
If Mi Er really becomes the Flora Immortal...
she'd turn the Flora Realm upside down.
Father!
Everyone has his shortcomings and merits.
No one in Flora Realm can beat me in eating and playing...
but speaking about managing Flora Realm...
I think Chief Zhang is the most suitable candidate.
Only when you're the person in charge...
everyone else can rest assured.
Mi Er is getting more and more sensible.
Let's go inside.
Water Immortal, this way please.
- Let's go. - This way, please.
When I was in mortal world...
I had killed my mortal father...
for Xu Feng.
Even if so...
he didn't change his mind.
Aunt...
I'm at my wits' end.
Looks like after living in mortal world...
Xu Feng has grown very fond of her.
Aunt,
what should we do?
Don't let it mess with your emotion.
Let me think it through.
You should go home first.
You need a rest.
Wait for my news, alright?
Yes.
Jin Mi.
My Lord.
Time flies. It's been 2 years since you passed away.
Not sure if you've reincarnated...
and have come back to earth.
If only fate allows me to follow you for another life.
Liao Yuan.
Your loyalty towards Xu Feng...
didn't disappoint me.
Little brother...
where did you come from?
Little brother?
I've been living for so many years.
How could you call me little brother?
It's such a humiliation.
Are you a human or a ghost?
I'm not a human...
nor am I a ghost.
I'm an immortal!
The way you play chess...
is so unique.
Are you complimenting me?
Confidence is definitely one of your best virtues.
Do you have anything to tell me, Mi Er?
Father.
What if...
What if I tell you that...
I don't want to get married,
what would you do?
Why?
I used to think that it's fine to get married to the Night Immortal.
But now...
Why do you think that it's no longer fine to do so?
After going to mortal world...
- I think... - Everything that happened...
between you and Fire Immortal whilst you were living in mortal world...
was just a dream.
You shouldn't confuse your thoughts...
as a human and as an immortal.
You need to think it through before making up your mind.
Make sure you don't mess up your future like this chess game...
where you'd made multiple mistakes.
How was it?
Liao Yuan.
You must remember,
don't let Xu Feng know that I pushed you down to mortal world.
Xu Feng.
Liao Yuan is here.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Thank you for the effort...
to go down to mortal world with me and protect me.
It's my duty.
You're the only one...
who was willing to jump off the Wheel of Karma and Fortune...
to go down to mortal world with me.
Wouldn't it be easier...
if you protect me as an immortal?
Exactly. Why didn't I think of that?
Well...
I've to sort out something at the House of Marriage.
I've to go. Liao Yuan.
Xu Feng is being grounded.
Please take care of him.
Where are the Phoenix Lanterns in the mortal world?
It's kept in the king's tomb.
Bring it back for me and place it by Lake Liu Zi.
- Yes. - Go.
Your Highness.
Where is the lamp made by me and Jin Mi?
As I know, it is King Yi's favourite lantern,
hence I put it in the coffin of Jin Mi and King Yi.
It has slipped my mind.
You were clever when you were a human.
How come you become less smart after coming back to the Heaven Realm?
I'll go get it now.
Lao Hu, look.
Not bad. Finally you get one.
Lao Hu.
After Grape became immortal...
she has changed.
She used to like these knick-knacks.
But now, she lost interest in this bow in a short time.
Is it true that being an immortal makes her a boring person?
I think she's troubled.
Sorrow, worries, and happiness.
All kinds of emotion are mixed together.
That's why she's not interested to have fun.
She's upset because of Rou Rou's death.
But why is she worrying?
She has become an immortal and gained a lot of magical prowess.
I guess...
it's because of the Night Immortal.
The Night Immortal is a Supreme Immortal after all.
Though Little One is now an immortal...
she's still just a subordinate of her future husband.
It's inevitable that she feels inferior.
You're right.
She's happy because the wedding day has been fixed.
Yes.
Something barged into Water Mirror.
After him!
Jin Mi.
Look what I got.
Didn't know that a thin paper can be folded into a phoenix.
I wanted to unravel it to have a look...
and learn how to fold a paper phoenix.
But who knows the paper phoenix has been infused with magical prowess...
we couldn't unravel it at all.
It's indeed magical.
See you at Lake Liu Zi tonight, the usual time.
Let's drink Osmanthus wine together.
What is written on it?
Both of you...
didn't hear anything or see anything right?
No.
- We didn't hear anything. - What is it?
Nothing.
It's best that you didn't hear anything.
Who is that?
Princess Biancheng?
I want to go to Qi Wu Palace.
Princess, Fire Immortal is grounded by Heavenly Emperor.
I'm afraid that he can't see you.
I've something important to tell him.
The murderer who tried to murder Jin Mi...
is the descendant of Immortality Destructing Tribe.
His name is Mu Ci and he's from Immortality Destructing Tribe.
Turns out he's from Immortality Destructing Tribe.
No wonder he has Immortality Destructing Arrow.
Immortality Destructing Arrow can only be made from his bone and blood.
If it's produced, the spirits in the River of Unmindfulness would rage.
If he weren't threatened by someone...
he wouldn't have taken the risk of being discovered by demon tribe...
to produce the Immortality Destructing Arrow.
Mu Ci wasn't always...
a person who couldn't tell good and evil apart.
A grey shadow barged into Zi Fang Yun Palace just now.
- Is Heavenly Empress safe? - Heavenly Empress is sound and safe.
I accidentally...
overheard his conversation with the Heavenly Empress.
Heavenly Empress purposely sent you to the River of Unmindfulness.
She intended to murder Jin Mi in mortal world by surprise.
If we could find the person who threatened Mu Ci,
then we would know who actually wanted Jin Mi to be killed.
I can save Mu Ci as well.
It's related to Jin Mi's safety
I'll unravel the truth for sure.
However, what Mu Ci had done...
Brother Feng...
can you please let him off as he saved my life before...
and for he's actually a kind person?
I know that if it weren't for you...
Jin Mi would be in great danger.
You've saved her, that's equal to saving my life.
No worries.
If I have any news of Mu Ci,
I'll inform you immediately.
Thank you so much.
There is something else.
You must be careful with King of Gucheng of the Demon Realm.
When you were living in mortal world...
he once planned to get the Immortality Destructing Arrow to harm you.
Fine.
It's been a while since I had fun with him.
Now that I've regained my immortal form,
he can't hurt me.
I'll leave now.
Liao Yuan.
- Your Highness. - Assist Princess Liu Ying in secret...
to look for Mu Ci.
I think it's related to Heavenly Empress.
Pay close attention to it.
Try to locate Mu Ci as soon as possible.
Invite Heavenly Empress over.
Yes.
Xu Er.
You've suffered a lot.
Make sure you won't be wilful again in the future.
Whenever I think of the struggles you went through in mortal world,
I can't sleep well.
Moreover, you went to mortal world with Jin Mi this time,
surely many would gossip behind you.
You must not be so silly next time.
Even if there are gossips, I'll bear with it.
Nonsense.
What is so special about Jin Mi?
You're bringing destruction upon yourself for her.
As you can see...
being an immortal or not, only Jin Mi can win my heart.
You don't have to try so hard.
Have you forgotten?
Don't you know that Run Yu and Jin Mi have fixed their wedding date?
If you continue being wilful,
you'll become the joke of the Heaven Realm.
I didn't put in so much of effort...
for you to be such unrepentant.
I invited you over to ask about something.
Is Immortality Destructing Arrow...
related to you?
Great.
You have the audacity to question me because of Jin Mi.
You're such a disappointment.
Don't you worry that you would hurt my feelings?
What about my feelings?
Why must you kill my lover with Immortality Destructing Arrow?
Where did you hear the rumour?
How could he slander me by relating me to Immortality Destructing Arrow?
If you didn't try to murder Jin Mi during the redemption,
I wouldn't have to get down to mortal world.
If you murder Jin Mi,
it's just like murdering me.
Why did I give birth to a silly person like you?
I have to remind you...
if you're still obsessed with Jin Mi that little evildoer,
you'll regret one day soon.
Since Jin Mi is safe...
I'll let you off.
If Jin Mi sustains any injuries in the future,
I'll not sit by and watch.
You...
Princess, please wait for me.
Anything?
I've been instructed by His Highness to assist you to look for Mu Ci.
I haven't met Mu Ci before.
I've no idea how does he look like.
Can you please guide me on that?
I'm so silly. I've forgotten about it. Please wait for a moment.
He's most probably wearing a mask.
Thank you.
I should thank you.
- Thank you for your help. - You're welcome.
His Highness said that as he's grounded...
you may ask me to do anything.
I'll try my best.
I can never repay Xu Feng's kindness.
By the way...
do you recognise this?
Where did you get this?
When I was living in mortal world...
I helped out a person of wonder by chance.
The seal is given by that person.
That person had added a tracking spell onto the seal.
When I was living in mortal world,
the seal would never leave me alone.
I only get to remove it after coming back to the Heaven Realm.
Judging by the appearance, it could have come from Demon Realm.
No doubt the seal...
is made using the iron from Demon Realm.
But I've no idea...
who is the owner.
Since it belongs to Demon Realm...
I think it's better for you to keep it.
How can you do that? It's a gift to you.
I can't keep it for you.
That person told me that...
this item can fulfil a wish.
It was not a big favour and I didn't expect anything in return.
Besides, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes.
Please bring it back to the Demon Realm.
Perhaps you will bump into the owner...
and return it to the owner.
Otherwise, you may ask for help when an emergency.
No point keeping it with me.
Okay then.
I'll ask around for you.
As you’re now in the Heaven Realm,
we'll get into trouble if Xu Feng finds out about you.
Hide away in Earthly Palace in the mortal world now.
You may not leave there without my permission.
What about the Body Decomposing Silkworm?
Yes.
It's so beautiful.
How did you bring them back to the Heaven Realm?
I've cast a spell...
so that the lamps will lit forever.
You can come to Lake Liu Zi anytime to look at them.
That's hideous. Why did you bring it here?
I think that's...
the most beautiful lantern among all the Phoenix Lanterns...
because it's our memories.
That's the memory between the Saintess and King Yi.
Such breath-taking scenery.
How great if there is home made Osmanthus wine.
Actually before going down to mortal world,
I've made some home made Osmanthus wine and buried it here.
I've dug it out a few days back.
Let's taste your home made wine.
The wine that you made is indeed mellow.
One has to be talented in order to live in six realms.
Why are you staring at me?
It feels great to stare at you...
without the veil.
In the love letter, I found the place where we meet in every life.
There I'll wait for us...
Is it beautiful?
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing in the moonlight.
In the love letter, I found the place where I make a wish in every life.
There I'll plant a red lotus to fill the memories with its lovely scent.
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing in the moonlight.
When we were living in mortal world, you agreed to marry me.
Will you still marry me?
But...
But what?
But I've engaged to Fish fairy.
If the engagement doesn't exist,
will you marry me?
I'll talk to my dad...
so that he calls off the engagement.
When the time comes...
of course I...
What will happen then?
When the time comes...
of course I'm willing to marry you.
Repeat...
what you just said.
I said...
when the time comes...
of course I'm willing...
How I wish I could wash away the vanity...
wipe away all the dirt.
I'd have another drink with you...
and talk until I'm drunk with you.
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.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
"Qi Wu Palace"
Xu Feng,
judging by your glowing look...
seems like you enjoyed yourself even though you're grounded.
You're so humorous.
- Spill the beans. What happened? - You're delusional.
Spill the beans! Something great must have happened.
Uncle...
I've invited you over because I want to ask you about something.
What's it?
It's about Night Immortal’s biological mother.
Can you please tell me about her?
King of Gucheng isn't aware that you've returned to Demon Realm.
I don't think we can hide from him for long.
You better hide away.
Why should I hide away?
We should alert Demon Lord to punish King of Gucheng.
King of Gucheng always manages to talk his way out.
He has Demon Lord's ears.
How would Demon Lord deal with him?
You're right.
He doesn't tell right and wrong apart.
Stop talking nonsense.
Let's go with me.
So many things to deal with in Demon Realm.
How could I simply walk away?
King of Gucheng won't let you off easily.
King of Gucheng has been trying to defeat me.
But I've never been defeated.
Who's that?
Mu Ci.
His Highness has demanded to put this person under your care.
He hopes that you can take care of him.
In the event that the Heaven Realm requests for a witness...
we need this person to tell the truth.
I owe Fire Immortal a debt of gratitude.
Please tell His Highness that...
I won't let him down.
- Thank you. - I have to go.
Looks like none of us can leave now.
Father,
what had happened to Mu Ci?
His body is implanted with Body Decomposing Silkworms.
Body Decomposing Silkworms?
Are there any antidotes?
Heard that this mysticism is normally used to extend someone's life.
If the silkworms live, he'll live. If they die, he'll die.
The silkworms are categorised into mother and offspring.
The mother silkworm must be fed with the owner's blood regularly.
Afterward, the mother silkworm...
will feed the offspring which are parasitizing in the body of the host.
If the offspring didn't get fed regularly...
they'd absorb the host's magical prowess.
In order to remove Body Decomposing Silkworms from the host...
the offspring have to be wiped out using fire spell.
But the host...
will die really soon.
Judging by his current condition...
I think the Body Decomposing Silkworms have started to feed on his prowess.
Turns out that he has his own difficulties.
Father...
what should we do now?
As for now...
I can only put his condition under control.
But if the offspring of silkworm in his body are not fed,
I'm afraid that...
I wonder who did this to him.
Why did they cruelly use Body Decomposing Silkworms...
to control Mu Ci?
The Body Decomposing Silkworms can only be fed with...
the blood of someone who has expertise in fire spells.
Other people can't simply do that.
All the fire spell experts are in Heaven Realm, right?
Daughter.
I know that you love Mu Ci...
but after all he's from Immortality Destructing Tribe.
Now he's something to do with the Heaven Realm.
Let me ask you something.
Do you really want to keep him here?
Father.
I'll find back the previous Mu Ci.
I see.
I'll figure it out.
You don't have to worry when you're at home.
We can trust everyone.
But when you go out alone you must be extra careful.
Don't let anyone from Demon Realm discover Mu Ci.
Or else...
all of us will be in danger.
Got it?
Got it.
Thank you father.
Why did you remove the chess? We can play a game.
We always...
take turn to win whilst playing chess.
It's not exciting at all.
What's the point?
You're right.
Today...
I'm here to drink with you.
I already know about...
your biological mother.
I drink up...
to apologise on behalf of our mother.
I'm still mourning.
I can't drink.
It's my fault.
Our mother...
had killed a sinful person who is not worth mentioning.
You don't have to apologise.
I know that you're upset.
- Your biological mother... - You know nothing.
It's better if you don't know.
You're still being grounded.
Don't provoke our father and mother.
You should go now.
I wish to talk to you.
I don't agree with the doings of our mother.
To be frank,
both of our mothers...
did everything because of our future.
She loves us, but she's done it in a wrong way.
I think you have the same feeling.
I'm not interested in...
her plan to make me the next Heavenly Emperor.
Brother, you're much more capable than I do.
I'm willing to follow and submit to your command.
I also hope that...
you can forgive our mother.
Xu Feng...
glad to hear...
what you had just said.
But...
I think you would like to discuss about something else, right?
I've another request.
Jin Mi.
You're obsessed with my fiancée.
I hope that you would call off the engagement with Jin Mi.
I won't fight for the throne.
I'll make up to you on behalf of our mother.
Please give up on Jin Mi.
The engagement between Jin Mi and I...
is fixed by our father and the Water Immortal.
I don't have a say in breaking off the engagement.
Furthermore,
the throne...
is being controlled by our parents.
You don't have a say...
in deciding the successor to the throne.
Got it?
Jin Mi and I love each other.
You could never be happy together.
Give it to me.
Snatch it from me.
All this while I've been living off the handouts given by you and mother.
It's always up to both of you to give me something...
or to snatch something away from me.
All I could do is to accept.
From now on...
I'll be the master of my own fortune.
From now on...
I'll make my own choice.
Jin Mi...
I won't let go of you.
This is for father.
This is for Aunt Lin Xiu.
Should I prepare something for Phoenix?
After all he sacrificed...
himself for me.
What should I prepare?
I've got an idea.
Phoenix, I'll give you a petal of my true form...
to improve your talent and moral integrity.
Aunt Lin Xiu, this is for you.
It's Ganoderma Ointment for beauty purposes.
You must be exhausted from spreading the wind.
It can strengthen your body if you consume it.
Thank you for the effort.
What's wrong?
Did you hurt yourself during practise?
Nothing.
It's all father's fault.
After coming back from mortal world, he keeps urging me to practice.
Okay.
Here's your present. Are you happy now?
It's an ointment made of ginseng and Chinese knotweed.
It helps in keeping your hair black and enriching blood.
It suits you well.
When did I urge you to practice?
Did you take the initiative to make all these ointments?
That's great.
You learn how to love someone dearly.
You've grown up after living in mortal world.
Actually I've gained a lot of experience...
after living in mortal world.
I've experienced life, separations, death and partings.
I learned that we can't force something to happen.
I've gotten used to life and death and saw through the vanity of the world.
It seems that I've learned a lot overnight.
Do you have any other comments on that?
Nothing much.
Father, have some tea.
Good girl.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
Recently,
I overheard two fairies saying that...
Immortal Wen Yue has decided to call off her engagement...
with Immortal Meng Zhang.
Is that true?
I didn't hear about it.
How could she call off the engagement as it's already fixed?
Father.
In the Heaven Realm...
is it true that we can't call off...
an engagement once it's fixed?
Are you planning to break off your engagement with the Night Immortal?
