"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 39"
Heavenly Empress who wields an uncontrollable amount of power...
will be afraid of me?
You've flattered me much.
Fear you?
Why would I fear you?
If you do not fear me...
then why would you use fire of hell against me...
instead of facing me yourself?
Evildoer,
I'll destroy you myself today!
Evildoer,
how dare you kill me?
You have overestimated yourself!
Today I'll turn you into ashes,
your soul will scatter apart!
You fought with your own mother for this evildoer?
I've told you that if you hurt Jin Mi again,
I will not just ignore it.
Why can't you?
Why can't you just give up?
This evil creature caused chaos to the Heaven Realm...
and even strained our mother-son relationship.
Since she's as detestable as her mother,
I'll send her to her mother.
Don't you dare think of stopping me!
Mother!
Jin Mi...
is already mine.
What are you saying?
What kind of big matter has happened at the Heaven Realm?
They left one by one,
are they not even going to listen to Xuan Ling Lord Dou Mu's puja?
She has no shame just like her mother.
Jin Mi...
already has my child.
When was that?
Detestable!
Did you make up a shameless lie for this evildoer?
Today, even if she really has your child,
I will destroy it together!
Move away!
Phoenix.
Move away!
Phoenix!
- Fish fairy! - Run Yu!
Tu Yao!
Father.
Mi Er, don't be afraid, I'm here.
Immortal, Mi Er is fine for now.
All these years,
I kept telling myself that...
you are only bad-tempered...
and the way you speak is unforgiving.
If Run Yu didn't bring me here,
if I didn't see it with my own eyes,
I wouldn't believe that you are so cruel and merciless!
This evildoer Jin Mi...
is an exact copy of that person.
I must eliminate her!
To avoid her being like Zi Fen...
causing chaos to Heaven Realm and seducing my son.
- Protect Mi Er. - Immortal, please be at ease.
Father.
You killed the love of my life...
and tried to kill my daughter,
this revenge is absolutely irreconcilable!
Mother!
Phoenix, Phoenix.
Xu Er.
Xu Er!
Water Immortal,
my mother killed the late Flora Immortal,
badly hurt Jin Mi and...
has sinned greatly.
I'm willing...
to bare your revenge for my mother.
Please spare my mother's life.
- Xu Er. - What?
Zi Fen was killed by you?
Zi Fen didn't want to start a dispute with Heaven Realm...
therefore asked everyone to hide this.
But the Heavenly Empress didn't just have no regrets...
instead she caused another crime today.
Detain the Heavenly Empress into the Pi Suo Prison,
remove her Empress title,
she can never be an immortal again.
Mi Er.
Left hand touching the ground, right hand touching the sky.
Godmother,
she has finally gotten her retribution.
"Pi Suo Prison"
Time passes quickly into years.
Three thousand years pass like a blink of an eye.
Left hand holding a flower, right hand playing with a sword.
The snow falls for 10000 years.
One drop of tear,
that's mine.
It's not the final yet.
Jin Mi,
wait for it.
You are awake.
That day I've spoken to you clearly,
why are you still saving me?
Mu Ci,
I already know that you were controlled by the Heavenly Empress...
by using Body Decomposing Silkworm.
All these years, you've suffered so much.
It's actually not important anymore.
My tribe is no longer here.
I'm just a ghost that will never see the light,
lingering on with one last breath until now.
Moreover, demon tribe and I have irreconcilable hatred for each other.
Immortality Destructing Tribe...
is seen as an ominous tribe.
What's the point, princess?
What if I tell you that...
Immortality Destructing Tribe is not an ominous tribe?
Back then...
Ying Er!
You've just learned how to shadow shield,
make sure you don't carelessly hurt someone.
You taught me how to shadow shield...
but still not as quick as I am.
In this cave, there are some low prowess beasts.
It'll be good for you to practise.
That's great.
What is going on there?
Based on the direction, it should be Immortality Destructing Tribe's home.
- Let's go have a look! - Wait.
Stay here and practice your archery,
I'll go have a look for you.
- Protect the princess. - Yes.
He just doesn't want to bring me there.
Why does the cry sound so weird?
What happened?
No way.
I... I'll ask father to save him.
Princess! Princess!
Immortality Destructing Tribe has been hiding for thousands of years...
and has never got involved in six realms disputes.
Moreover,
making Immortality Destructing Arrow cost many of our lives.
I don't believe that the Demon Lord would make this order.
Why have we not heard about the order of Demon Lord...
to make the Immortality Destructing Arrow?
Then why is King of Gucheng passing a fake order from Demon Lord?
Why are you here?
What a waste that...
only Immortality Destructing Tribe has the skill to destroy the immortals.
My Lord,
we have searched through the tribe, there's no survivor.
He massacred the entire tribe!
Princess, we are one step too late.
The entire tribe has been massacred.
There's no point to argue with King of Gucheng now.
If he discovers us,
we'll be in trouble.
Spread the words on what happened today,
Immortality Destructing Tribe...
made Immortality Destructing Arrow secretly,
they intended to rebel.
Yes,
all thanks to the King's timely oppression...
to destroy the rebel tribe.
Only then it didn't cause trouble to six realms.
The King has made a great contribution.
Congratulations, My Lord.
Congratulations My Lord for making another great contribution!
My glory is your glory.
When I take over six realms,
you all will be rewarded.
Thank you, My King!
I came too late again.
It's the Heaven's will,
please don't blame yourself.
Let's go.
Father, he's still there.
Follow me.
Father, quickly!
Here.
Father, I didn't know there was someone else here.
Relax,
he is not dead yet.
Besides being shot by your arrow,
he still has a few cuts.
Let's bring him back home and find a demon doctor for him.
My Lord, he is from Immortality Destructing Tribe.
King of Gucheng already announced his win to the Demon Lord.
This person is a person of betrayal, we can't keep him.
But the Immortality Destructing Tribe is framed by King of Gucheng.
He is innocent.
Are you really going do nothing to save him?
Fine.
We are bringing him home.
But even if we save him now,
this child can never leave my place.
If one day someone finds out his true identity,
it will cause serious trouble.
I heard that the people from Immortality Destructing Tribe...
eyes turn black when they are angry.
But be at ease,
this child is still young, it won't show yet.
Just be careful not to let him be close with outsiders.
Yes!
He is so helpless now.
When he is all healed up, we shall keep him at home...
and make him my bodyguard...
so that we could train together, okay?
This child is an orphan,
Liu Ying brought him home when she accidentally hurt him when hunting.
Do you understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say?
We understood.
Relax, you are mine,
I won't leave you.
I didn't tell you all of these because...
I didn't want you to live in hatred and...
it's for your safety as well.
I understand that if you are angry at me.
I have no parents,
no home to go back to.
If it wasn't for King of Biancheng and princess,
I would have died a long time ago.
I'm grateful that I've lived for so many years,
how can I complain about it?
Mu Ci.
The gratitude was fake,
the revenge was also fake.
All these years, for getting my revenge...
for repaying gratitude,
I've lived a vagrant life and became Heavenly Empress's puppet.
But in the end,
it was all a joke.
But you still have me.
I want to rest now.
Princess, please leave.
Father, how are you feeling?
It's fine, I'll be fine after a few days of rest.
You don't have to worry about it.
Father,
is there really no cure for the Body Decomposing Silkworm?
If we use the last level of fire of hell,
the glass fire...
to burn the Body Decomposing Silkworm in his body.
It can thoroughly remove Mu Ci's dependence...
on the Body Decomposing Silkworm.
Father.
Just that by doing this,
he'll only be left with 10 years to live.
Also, his prowess will eventually disappear and...
become mortal like.
Ten years?
Ying Er, I know about your feelings for Mu Ci...
but 10 years to demon tribe is like a blink of an eye.
Also, you are young and there are many great years left for you.
Then I'll just use my own blood to continue his life.
Based on your prowess,
I'm afraid you wouldn't last that 10 years.
But I can't let you use up your prowess like that.
Father, what can I do to save Mu Ci?
Ten years, just like a mortal,
I can't be your burden anymore.
Jin Mi.
Mi Er.
Jin Mi.
Mi Er,
Mi Er.
Father...
Father.
Are you having nightmare again?
Don't be afraid,
I'm here.
Father,
my mother...
was my mother really killed by the Heavenly Empress?
I want to take revenge.
I want to avenge Rou Rou and my mother.
- I... - What revenge?
Are you trying to get yourself killed again?
She's now in Pi Suo Prison,
Heaven will punish her.
Mother.
Rou Rou.
Mother!
Rou Rou!
This blade is made with holy black ice.
When I was forging it,
I've passed half of my magical prowess into it.
Take it along with you.
If you meet any danger again,
at least you'll have something to protect you.
Half of your prowess?
Then...
Your... your spirit...
Is your spirit damaged as well?
I'm fine.
Keep it.
Silly girl,
come.
Thank you, father.
Don't cry anymore.
How is Jin Mi?
You don't have to worry about her.
Are you blaming me?
I've already imprisoned Tu Yao in Pi Suo Prison.
What else do you want me to do...
so that your hatred will be appeased?
Hate?
That's not enough to describe it.
If I wasn't following Zi Fen's last wishes,
if it wasn't for the happiness of the children,
I wouldn't suppress myself until today.
But from now on,
for my daughter,
nothing will stop me.
I know...
that I've wronged you all.
I just found out that Zi Fen's death was caused by Tu Yao.
If I knew about it...
If I knew about it earlier,
I wouldn't tolerate her for the past thousand years.
Also, you knew that the feelings I had for Zi Fen were real and true.
Real and true?
The real and true feelings of yours...
had killed her.
Tai Wei, let me ask you.
Have you ever sacrificed anything for Zi Fen?
Did you sacrifice the Heavenly Empress's power with bird tribe?
Or sacrificed your power as the Heaven Emperor?
How dare you say that you loved her?
You only wanted to own her!
You sentenced Tu Yao to prison...
because she has no further use for you,
instead she's your obstacle.
Luo Lin,
do you think being the Heaven Emperor is so easy?
All these choices I made...
are as painful as cutting through my heart.
Being the Heaven Emperor is not easy for sure.
You are always floating between checking for balance...
and being suspicious of others.
All these years, you've wasted all the time.
Even the mortals know that...
without virtue, you don't deserve the status.
As the most respected person in Heaven Realm,
yet you don't understand the importance of virtue.
Are you saying that I have no virtue?
You pretended to have virtue but...
one day you'll expose yourself.
Luo Lin,
looks like you are only suitable to live in seclusion.
I know myself very well,
I don't need your reminder.
Luo Lin,
I know you are still very angry...
but please don't ruin our friendship because of Tu Yao's sin.
We can't just throw everything aside.
For your daughter and my son,
we need to be mindful.
Luo Lin,
I don't care if you believe it or not...
but I've only loved Zi Fen.
I have everything I ever wanted now but...
Zi Fen has passed away.
Also, she only loved you.
To me, that's the biggest punishment.
Never wished to get into a dispute, but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart has wilted and I can never turn back time.
How I wish I could wash away the vanity,
wipe away all the dirt.
Xu Feng,
I really like you a lot.
Never wished to get into a dispute, but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart wilts away, and I can never turn back time.
Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.
My only hope is a life with no regrets.
Mi Er,
it's cold at night.
You've just recovered, why are you walking around already?
Fish Fairy, you got hurt because of me.
I came here to visit you.
It's just a minor injury, it doesn't bother me.
I wonder how many women have you had physical contact with.
I'm not a frivolous person.
Since I have a marriage agreement with you,
needless to say I won't have any physical contact with others.
Looks like I'm the frivolous one.
Mi Er, why are you asking this?
Is it something that I've done?
The Heavenly Empress killed my mother,
right now we are considered to be on the same boat.
I wonder how is father going to dismiss her.
She is Xu Feng's mother,
how are we going to face Xu Feng in the future?
The kindness of our parents...
is vaster than the heavens.
The kindness of our parents...
is vaster than the heavens.
Don't think about all of this,
let me handle it, okay?
I'll go first then.
Let me send you back to Luo Xiang Mansion.
You are still so stubborn.
If I'm not stronger,
do you think I'll let you see me as a joke?
You and I are husband and wife,
in just one day,
you went from being the Heavenly Empress to a prisoner.
How can I laugh about that?
Ever since we got married,
when have you treated me as your wife?
Tu Yao,
you were the most respected person in Heaven Realm,
what else are you not satisfied with?
I have a clear conscience.
All these years,
you were worse than before, made enemies everywhere.
You didn't just kill the women around me.
Even Water Immortal,
Night Immortal and...
Jin Mi, you couldn't let them live.
How exactly would you be satisfied?
A clear conscience?
All these years, have you really thought it through...
that you have never betrayed me?
Have you forgotten...
how did you keep your position as the Heaven Emperor?
During the battle of Heaven against Demon,
if it wasn't for the bird tribe soldiers who sacrificed themselves...
Enough.
No, I want to finish what I want to say.
In every battle,
our bird tribe always went all out to assist you.
In the battle of Heaven against Demon, you were badly hurt.
Do you know what did I sacrifice to save your life?
Tai Wei,
I've treated you so well, but how about you?
You were ungrateful ever since you got your throne.
You changed your mind so frequently,
even forgotten the promise you made to me.
Stop!
You rely on your past contribution,
discriminated against others,
killed the innocents,
destroyed dragonfish tribe,
killed Su Li, removed my concubine,
you used such sinister means.
I've never disputed it with you at all.
But I've never thought that even Zi Fen died in your hands.
You killed a Supreme Immortal,
how bold of you!
Zi Fen?
What kind of crime have I committed?
Is it because I killed a Supreme Immortal, disrupted the Heaven?
Or I've cut out a piece of your heart, causing your heart to ache?
- You! - You!
You've betrayed me over and over again.
You have never put me and my son in your heart.
What about her?
She's dead...
but still she hangs on to you.
How dare her daughter seduce my son?
Mother and daughter are bewitching the two of you.
Don't you think it's ironic and humiliating?
As for me,
the Heavenly Empress,
the princess of bird tribe,
do you want me to live in her shadow for the rest of my life?
I thought that you will repent here.
I didn't think that you would still refuse to come to your senses.
Look at yourself now.
You don't think before you speak, you're sinister in appearance.
You don't have any gracefulness of a Heavenly Empress.
You look just like a jealous wife from the mortal world.
One speaks directly when he is on his deathbed.
It's my fault that I've failed to recognise...
the right person to depend on.
What Tu Yao did was not right,
she shouldn't take on the position as the Heavenly Empress.
I want to crown another Heavenly Empress.
Lord Lao, Dan Zhu, how about Flora Immortal?
That's not right.
Even the Kings in the mortal world know that...
a wife who has been through it all must not be cast aside.
Let alone that you are a Heavenly Emperor,
you'll need to set an example to all.
That's why it's a taboo to abandon your wife when you are prosperous.
His Majesty,
the Heavenly Empress has not done anything wrong.
Also, the Heaven Realm is just formed, it's not stable yet.
We still need the support from bird tribe.
I'm afraid, removing the Empress...
would cause an unrest in Heaven Realm.
His Majesty, please reconsider it.
Who tried to drive a wedge between us?
I heard it with my own ears.
You don't have to hide it anymore.
The person standing in front of you right now...
is just a person that has been abandoned by her husband...
and disgusted by her own son.
Do you even feel guilty?
In the end, I've still kept you.
Among everything that I've promised you before,
is there anything that I didn't do?
There's nothing perfect in this world,
even I have regrets.
But why, in your eyes,
you can't even tolerate a grain of sand.
So what if I did have the most respected position?
Have I ever been inside your heart?
Every woman wishes to grow old with their loved ones.
But instead I was married to the cold throne.
Although I'm a Supreme Immortal...
but I'm same as any other woman.
I just want a husband who only loves me.
However, in your eyes,
besides her,
have you ever really looked at me?
That dragonfish only looked a bit like her.
You knew you were using her...
but yet you fell for her.
Have you ever thought how a wife would feel?
Have you ever experienced the sadness of...
staring at a heartless person?
Tu Yao,
I've indeed wronged you by missing Zi Fen...
but I've tried my best to compensate it.
As the Heavenly Empress,
you acted recklessly,
when have I not tolerated you?
Just that you were getting greedier.
Patience? Tolerance?
I don't want any of these.
I don't get my husband's care and support,
instead I'm guarding the title of the Heavenly Empress.
Do you know how I went through all these years?
Not long after my father passed away,
you wanted to remove me as Empress.
If it wasn't because of the power of bird tribe,
I would have gotten the same ending today a 10,000 years ago.
Only then I've finally understood the benefit of power.
Affection and favour?
Everything will pass like the clouds would.
Only with the highest power, I will not become obsolete.
Even if you want the highest power,
you can't use unscrupulous tactics.
You are already the Heavenly Empress, with bird tribe's support,
if you could have just lived your life peacefully,
I wouldn't do anything to you.
Unscrupulous tactics?
What are the differences between you and me?
You killed your brother to get to the throne,
arrogate all powers to yourself.
Actually,
you and I are slaves to power.
His Majesty,
do you still remember the promise we made?
You are pregnant now,
not fitting to follow me to battle.
If I die in the battle,
please go back to Yi Miao Continent.
This is Huan Di Phoenix Feather,
it's a sacred item to each of the birds in phoenix tribe.
Every phoenix has one.
I'm giving it to you,
I hope that it will protect you on behalf of me.
If you lose the battle tomorrow,
both my son and I will jump off here.
We will not live on.
Today I, Tai Wei promise that...
after this war, if you've given birth to a son,
he will be my successor as Prince.
You and I will share the Heaven Realm together.
My biggest wish is to be...
able to stand here with you at The Empyrean Heaven someday and...
look at the clouds with smile on our faces.
You've changed.
Tu Yao, I've wronged you.
But now Supreme Clarity Heaven knows about what happened,
I'm afraid that we can't save your position as Heavenly Empress.
If I don't suppress your bird tribe's arrogance,
I'm afraid that we can't appease everyone else.
I've already predicted this.
I've been the Heavenly Empress for far too long.
It's enough.
All my life, I've been willing to sacrifice everything for you.
Right now, I have nothing to wish for...
besides one wish.
I only have Xu Feng,
I believe you know what I'm wishing for.
