"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 35"
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!
