Ashes of Love
Episode 3
It was a powerful water spell.
In this big Heavenly Court, you are the only one capable of it.
Moreover, some guards saw you appear near Qiwu Palace that day.
That night, you were on duty at the north Heavenly Gate.
At that time, an accident happened to Xu Feng during his rebirth.
Tell me! Is this true?
Father, that night, I indeed went to Qiwu Palace.
Your Majesty.
I know that Xu Feng's rebirth was surrounded by danger.
I chased that man in black all the way to Qiwu Palace with intentions of protecting Xu Feng,
but...
What happened?
You saw that person? Who was it?
Why did you not report it?
I fought with that man in black clothes.
His powers were strong, but he did not want to battle.
After a few moves, he escaped.
At the time, I saw that Lord Liaoyuan was guarding Qiwu Palace.
Seeing how crucial Xu Feng's rebirth into Nirvana was,
it was inconvenient for me to interrupt.
I gave Lord Liaoyuan some orders and then left.
It's not that your father and I don't trust you,
but hearing only your side of the story is unconvincing.
Father and mother, please give the correct judgment. I have no reason for hurting Xu Feng.
I use water spells,
so I was unable to go near the fire surrounding the rebirth.
That is the first proof.
The second proof is that I was unfortunately hurt by that person's plot.
Although he used ice, he was unafraid of fire.
Such a severe burn.
Why didn't you report it earlier?
Turns out not only crows and magpies have black feathers.
He might have been a burnt phoenix.
Crow is actually a mythical bird!
Now, I'll have an inexhaustible source of life elixirs!
Actually, Lord Liaoyuan is not at fault for this.
The rebirth of the Phoenix Tribe has always been dangerous.
Even though I landed in the wilderness,
I received this little demon's help
and returned unharmed. I guess it is a type of fate.
Your Highness returned safely, so I can rest assured.
Heavenly Emperor and Empress were worried about Your Highness's safety,
and had just summoned Night Deity in a hurry
to convict him.
Run Yu?
Immediately come with me to see Father.
Your Majesty, we have not investigated this case clearly yet.
Hearing Run Yu's one-sided story...
Fire Deity has arrived!
Greetings, father and mother.
Xu'er! Hurry and rise. Are you hurt?
I was so anxious!
I am unfilial. Sorry for making you worry.
What exactly is going on?
Where have you been these days?
Father, somebody had schemed against me during my rebirth. I was attacked by a secret ice weapon, and fell into the wilderness.
I wandered around, and spent a few extra days there to find the culprit.
I didn't think to create trouble for everyone. I was too thoughtless.
Father and mother, please punish me.
Did you find the culprit?
No, but I am sure that this incident is not related to Older Brother.
I have already found some clothes. The truth will be revealed soon.
Get up now.
You brothers care for each other.
I am very pleased.
I'm glad you are back. While you were gone,
your mother was worried about you day and night. You must comfort her.
Yes, I know.
Fire Deity returned safely. Congratulations.
Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, since Xu'er has returned safely,
please fulfill your previous promise
and inform the Six Realms of his new title.
Father, Mother, what are you talking about?
Your father and I agreed that once you return safely, we will crown you as the successor of the Heavenly Realm.
These days, the Demon Realm's army has been invading.
I think we can talk about this after Xu Feng returns victorious from battle.
Reporting!
Heavenly Emperor, the 100,000 soldiers of the Demon Army have retreated from River of Forgetfulness.
Is there a reason?
Last night, Fire Deity broke into King Yancheng's barracks alone and scared off the 100,000 soldiers.
He scared off 100,000 soldiers with just one visit. What a miraculous achievement.
Your Majesty, you have always been clear in rewarding and punishing.
Fire Deity, what do you think?
Father and mother, please take back the decision. I lead the Five Directions Heavenly Army.
It is only my duty to defeat our enemies and protect our land. The Demon Army retreated just as a tactic to gain some time.
Last night, according to my observation, King Yancheng will eventually return. We have yet to subdue our enemies, so let's not speak about other things.
I ask for permission to go back and prepare the soldiers for battle.
Xuanji Palace
All I can do now is help you clear the fire poison in your body. These days, your skin will continue hurting.
Our bodies are incompatible. If I forcibly heal you, it'll only worsen your injuries.
Since the beginning of time, water and fire have been incompatible.
You should keep your spiritual powers for something else.
I really cannot handle any more.
If you knew that fire and water oppose each other, why did you try to save me?
Didn't you also do the same?
Lord Liaoyuan just finished relieving you of the ice poison in your body, and you came here to heal me.
If Mother finds out, she will scold us again.
My gratitude for your rescue is as vast as the sky. Thank you for saving me, Night Deity.
Xu Feng, everyone suspects it was me. Are you not worried at all?
Of course I am worried.
When I was in trouble, you would surely be to blame.
Before I even had a chance to change my clothes, I went to rescue you.
Thank you for your graciousness.
You have high spiritual powers, and you even got seriously injured.
Looks like the person who wanted to kill me is not simple.
I'm afraid I'll be unable to fight him alone.
What exactly happened that day?
During the critical moment of the rebirth, I sensed that the fire increased in power.
I felt cold and could not move.
I could only push my internal energy to break out of the vital energy passages, and escape while the culprit was unprepared.
I don't know about the rest, either.
This person is practiced in water spells, yet is unafraid of the fire surrounding the rebirth.
This is strange.
I have already told Father and Mother that I want to investigate this case.
My purpose is to make the enemy lower his guard.
With you helping me in secret, we'll find the culprit soon.
Don't worry. I will find the truth
to return justice to you and to prove my own innocence.
However, you should refine your spell techniques.
Don't end up becoming a burden to me, the God of War,
and end up as flustered as you were today.
Zifang Cloud Palace
Heavenly Empress, Fire Deity is not suspicious of him and even helped him heal his injury.
Now, they are chatting over tea. There is no sense of animosity.
This foolish child. He is still unaware he is dancing with the wolves.
If I wasn't here to help him plan, he will end up losing the position of Heavenly Emperor without even realizing.
You must keep an eye on Run Yu. If anything happens, report to me immediately.
Yes.
Could this really be the Heavenly Palace?
Looking left and right, there's really noting special about it.
These immortal air is covering the ground too much.
It's making one unable to see them clearly.
How come it's gone again?
What's going on?
These flowers look verdant and lush.
How come upon touching them, they just turn to dust and disappear?
Could it be because my spiritual power is so low
that I'm not even allowed to pick flowers?
Petty. I won't pick them then.
Weird. How come there's no flower at all in this Phoenix Courtyard?
If I've known, I should have just went to roam at another place.
Is this a fox?
It feels so soft.
It looks quite adorable.
I've lived for so many years.
I finally get to be sexually harassed by another person.
I feel so comforted...
Harassed? What does that mean?
When did I do it?
Which xiantong(immortal child) are you?
What's your name?
I dare not be called an xiantong. Just call me Jin Mi.
But...I'm just a measly banxian (half immortal).
Half immortal?
Looks like I had my afternoon sleep for too long.
There is actually a new immortal here in Heavenly Realm.
I've only been able to cultivate half-heartedly, so I'm a half-immortal.
Isn't this Xu Feng's courtyard?
Then it means you are Xu Feng's xiantong?
I'm not a xiantong of that burned phoenix.
I'm his Savior.
- Savior? - Yes.
Little Jin Mi, come with me. I love listening to stories the most!
Who could he be
that he's able to be well versed in both fire and water magical techniques.
That phoenix got completely burned and fell into the Flower Realm.
A trouble-befallen prince.
I bumped into him.
Nimble little child?
I passed him some energy.
Had an intimate contact?
And then, when he has gotten better...
And then what? Hurry and say it.
I was waiting for your...
When he woke up, to repay my kindness, he took me here to your Heavenly Realm.
Love starts like that.
Classic scenes.
It really won my heart over.
How come he doesn't have the legendary fox stinky odor?
Fate has played fools of people.
What a shame that you're a male.
Looks like Xu Feng will be falling deeply into this.
That little phoenix clearly said that I'm a woman.
Am I really a male or a female?
Little Jin Mi, come over here.
It was actually me who started the phrase repaying one's debt.
But don't know why upon spreading it, one of the word got transmitted wrongly.
It was really a waste of my painstaking effort.
['Bao' meaning hug]
This is the right word.
In repaying a debt of kindness, if you don't hug each other, how are you going to repay it?
Looking at how you're the first person to harass me
in heaven and earth,
I'll give you a red string
and tie it in Xu Feng's foot.
Your love life will then go smoothly and able to turn a misfortune into a fortunate one.
Moon Immortal, you have become more generous.
5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11—
I'm sure that Moon Immortal has a lot of these red strings.
But if you can stop handing them to the immortal servants of my manor,
it will be a pleasant thing for me.
Baby Phoenix has grown up. You don't follow your uncle anymore.
When you were still an unfledged little bird,
you loved rolling around the red yarn in my manor.
But now...
...you even call me in such a distant manner.
I'm so upset.
Baby Phoenix?
Uncle, you said it so seriously.
My nephew is a very good child.
Addressing me like that can better show how harmoniously happy our family is.
I never thought that you two are uncle and nephew.
You can't really judge a book by its cover.
I think Jin Mi is not bad. Why don't you take her in as your wife?
Who is Jin Mi?
May I ask if the Mi in your name Jin Mi
pertains to honey?
No. No.
It must be 'mi' from searching.
No. No.
My 'mi' is the 'mi' in looking for food.
Is there any difference between those two words?
Clever. You're so clever!
May I ask how old are you? What's your birthdate?
From where are you from? How many people are in your household?
Jin Mi, it's boring here.
Why don't you come with me to my Fated Love Manor to play?
I'll take my leave.
This place is indeed boring. Okay then.
Let's go...
She's so pretty...
So cute...
So soft. Your skin is so good.
This little guy is so handsome.
If she lives for some 10,000 years or more,
don't know how many immortal women will fall head over heels with him.
With her looks, she might become at par with the 2 princes.
Indeed.
Isn't it so?
My Xu Feng's taste has always been good.
Enough... Go... Quickly...
Let's go...
Little Jin Mi, why don't you just stay here in my Fated Love Manor?
This is way fun than that Qiwu Palace.
My manor can be said to be a rich land fostering a lot of talented immortals.
How about it?
I'm Liu Yan,
the eldest daughter of the Liu family of Hangzhou,
age 28. I wish that Elder Moon
can help find a good husband for me.
I hope that his looks is comparable to Pan An,
that our love will be stronger than gold.
What does that mean?
You are still young. It's understandable that you don't know about love yet.
But if you will follow that nephew of mine from now on,
I feel that it's better that you know about it sooner.
No rush. I will slowly teach you about it.
I came to the Heavenly Palace to save my friend Rou Rou.
I want to find a Daluo Golden Immortal. Do you know where I can find one?
Here in Heavenly Realm, there are so many of them.
Who among them do you need?
That one who can revive my friend Rou Rou.
This looks green, smooth, and crisp.
It's quite in a good state.
My friend Rou Rou was initially a spirit that was able to cultivate into human form.
Because of an accident 900 years ago,
caused her to lose all her yuan energy and she turned into this.
Moon Immortal, do you know any Daluo Golden Immortal that can save my friend?
All living things will go into reincarnation.
Even the Heavenly Emperor can't interfere with life and death matters.
Looks like Lord Puchi lied to me.
I got it. I'm taking my leave then.
Wait! Wait!
There are so many great masters and precious treasures here in the Heavenly Realm.
If you're willing to stay here and focus on your cultivation,
you surely will find a way to save your friend.
Also, there is still a High Clear Sky above the nine levels of heaven.
Only those with very high spiritual power earn the right to visit the High Clear Sky
and listen to High Masters talk about the fruit of the universe.
Looks like what Lord Puchi said isn't a lie. Gathering spiritual power, is that it?
I'll do it. What you said is reasonable.
I'll stay here for a few more days then.
That's more like it.
If you're willing to stay behind and keep me company,
I will give you an extremely nice gift.
An immortal pellet?
It's way better than that.
[Qiwu Palace]
How is that Jin Mi doing?
Replying to Your Highness, based on your orders,
we've appropriately arranged for half-immortal Jin Mi's lodgings and necessities.
It's just that he frequently been going to Moon Immortal's Fated Love Manor.
You and him always missed out on each and aren't able to see each other often.
Half-immortal Jin Mi is quite popular in Fated Love Manor.
In his hand are a lot of red strings from Moon Immortal. So many immortals are competing to get one.
Half-immortal?
Only that little monster can dare to fabricate his immortal status.
Forget it. I won't care anymore.
Just let her be.
Yes.
Little Jin Mi! You're idling around.
If you're not, how could this Yan beast find you just with your scent?
He's a spiritual pet that mainly eats other people's dream.
What is that?
Look at him yourself.
See? And you still claim that you're not being lazy?
How can there be flowers in my Fated Love Manor?
You're making dreams and turning into a flower addict.
Fox Immortal, help me with a favor.
May I ask you to go to a place for me? Although I live in heaven right now,
picking flowers and concocting nectar is my innate duty.
The flowers here in Heaven
is too snobbish.
Just because my spiritual level is low, they bully me.
Whenever I touch a flower, it just disappears.
Hence, can you help pick some flowers for me?
When the spring goes, it won't return again. When the flower withers, it won't bloom again.
The cause of this matter shouldn't be clearly said anymore.
It is an incomparable story of love and hate. All because of the word 'love'.
What is love?
You have never heard of it from Flower Realm?
Thousands of years ago, a huge grudge was created between
the current Heavenly Emperor now and the Flower Deity of Flower Realm.
Out of anger, Flower Deity destroyed all the flowers here in Heavenly Realm.
From then on, not one plant is able to survive here in Heavenly Realm.
But leaving this matter like that isn't a good thing too.
Hence, Heavenly Emperor transformed clouds
into thousands of flowers and plants and scattered them all over the Heavenly Realm.
It finally helped the Heavenly Realm regain its color.
But these flowers and plants are not real. Once you pick them,
they'll turn into cloud and mist.
Does that mean, I'm unable to pick any nectar?
Stupid. Is a nectar that important?
Didn't you get anything else from that story?
What?
Heavenly Emperor, and the past Flower Deity.
One very handsome man, one woman with unrivaled beauty,
isn't that a scene in a classic love story?
Can love help in increasing one's energy?
If it can't and even bring trouble, why want it?
You...are really so unenlightened.
This is the love book
that I've been hiding for so many years, 'Divine Fragrance Secret Drawings'.
I'll let you borrow it. If you want to get enlightened, start with the basic theories.
The postures are so ugly. Not interested at all.
This... The love between men and women...
...is the most beautiful and truest thing in this world.
Can it also increase my spiritual energy?
Of course.
Really?
That's great.
This...take this back and read it first.
Concentrate in reviewing. I believe that with your comprehension skills,
you will understand it very soon.
These two look almost the same.
This scenery is way better than the one this morning.
How come the stars have fallen into the pond?
The fishes have been forced to go up the banks.
It shows how bad the atmosphere is here in Heavenly Realm.
It's you again!
Yan Beast, don't be disrespectful.
This immortal, sorry to have offended you.
It's fine...
This deer...is actually quite adorable.
Just a bit hot-tempered.
I also am not some immortal,
but a sprite that's focused on cultivating to be an immortal.
Oh, right, I saw your tail earlier.
Your tail is really incomparable.
Mister, this deer of yours is raised quite well.
Fat and strong.
Yan Beast.
Just don't know which kitchen are you delivering this deer to.
Kitchen?
What I mean is your job has quite a bright future.
Thinking about before, the great sage of heaven's equal Sun Wukong
started from the livestock field of being a protector of horses.
After going to the west to obtain the scripture, he eventually great prestige.
Buddha even conferred him the title 'Fighting to Nirvana'.
Also, the Eighth Immortal Elder Zhang Guo, he was donkey pastor before he became an immortal.
Wasn't he dazzling and honorable too in the end? I think...
that your have a bright future ahead of you.
Your words really cheered me up and cleared my mind.
Thanks. Thanks.
You're welcome.
My name is Run Ru. What is yours?
My name is Jin Mi.
Jin Mi.
I forgot! I still have to deliver some items to some immortal aunts.
Mister, I still have to do something. I'll take my leave now.
Oh, right, Mister. Although you have this adorable deer accompanying you,
it's still a bit cold and lonely.
I'm giving you this red string and hope that you'll have someone that will accompany you in the future.
Thank you, Immortal Jin Mi.
You're welcome. I'll be leaving then.
Wait a minute.
Immortal Jin Mi, you drop your hair pin.
Thanks. Farewell.
[Fated Love Manor]
She's so good.
So great!
Look. Wow!
So fragrant.
Next one.
Make one for me!
Wait a minute...
Hey! They left?!
Don't leave!
It's me. It's me.
Who are you?
I'm Liao Ting that is serving by His Highness Fire Deity's side.
I even delivered food and clothes to you.
Why is His Highness looking for me?
No...it's me.
Half-immortal Jin Mi, can you make me a fresh flower?
Congratulations Immortal Liao Ting for having chlidren!
I'm still young and isn't married.
Then what do these red-painted eggs mean? (usually signify a birth in the family)
Red-painted egg?
No... These are the eggs of the
mythical Vermilion Bird in His Highness' Palace. It only lays egg every 800 years.
Eating it will increase your spiritual power by 100 years.
Two eggs can increase it to 300 years.
300 years of spiritual power?
What did you say earlier? What flower do you want me to make? I can make you as many as you want.
- Just you wait. - Okay.
It's an auspicious day, suitable to cook some eggs.
The taste of this Vermilion Bird egg is indeed outstanding.
It really suited my taste...
So wonderful...
Save me!
Little Jin Mi! What's wrong?
- Hurry and save me. - Go find Xu Feng.
- Hurry! - Okay.
Aiya, you! Did you eat random stuff?
It's nothing. I don't know what's wrong, either.
It hurts! Am I poisoned?
Do not panic. You...
Jin Mi!
- I just sent someone to find you, and you came on your own. - Take her away.
My disciple in evil studies!
Where are you taking my Mi'er?
Mi'er! I am in debt to you, my daughter!
I could only watch as the thieves take you to repay their debts!
Uncle, if you keep acting, she will turn into ashes in less than two hours.
Are you even my nephew? I finally had a chance to act.
What did you eat?
All I did was eat two vermilion bird eggs.
After I ate it, I felt hot and painful.
Why do I feel like I lost a lot of spiritual powers?
You little demon. Your body contains elements of yin and cold, so it should be kept in water.
But you were overconfident and ate the eggs of vermillion birds. Vermilion birds are of the fire element.
If not because I came here in time to save you, you would already be smoke by now.
I'm a grape! I was born in the ground, not water.
I thought that vermilion birds (zhu que) are relatives of pigs (zhu). Turns out, they're relatives of fire!
Now, I've lost almost half of my spiritual powers. Just great. What should I do?
Don't speak to me in tongue-twisters. It's making me dizzy. Just focus on recuperating. Seriously, you...
For just 300 years of spiritual powers, you almost gave up your life. So stupid.
Keep an eye on this little demon. Don't let her eat random stuff agian.
Yes, Your Highness.
Half-Immortal Jin Mi, why does His Highness call you "little demon"?
How dare you ask!
If not for you, I wouldn't be in this state now.
My spiritual powers have decreased drastically. I need to eat something to replenish my body.
Half-Immortal Jin Mi, do you need some medicine? I can go find it for you.
Demons like me
love to eat young, virgin boys and girls.
But of course, small virgin immortals like you are best!
Save me!
Jin Mi?
Qiwu Palace
Who is here?
Yan You?
Your Second Highness, have you been well?
I only knew that you, Lord Yan You, grew tired of being an immortal and went to be a demon in the lower realm.
I didn't know that you are also tired of being a demon now.
You broke into my Qiwu Palace at night to become a robber.
A robber? Perfect.
Recently, I've been studying this path in the lower realm. I specialize in stealing fragrances and jades. (fig. means to indulge in illicit relations with women)
However, I'm tired of looking at women from the lower realm.
Our Heavenly Realm is better, don't you agree?
It's nice to occasionally come back to the Heavenly Realm and change up the view. Plus, a beautiful grape like Jin Mi is also here.
You know Jin Mi?
Not only that. We've been friends for 1,000 years. We're very close.
What's your relationship to her? Why can I sense her on your body?
Naturally, it's because we like each other, so we give each other gifts.
Stop joking around with me.
I know that Jin Mi sees spiritual powers as her life. It's already a miracle she doesn't steal them from you. Why would she give them to you?
If you don't want to tell me the truth, then don't blame me for being merciless.
Do not get agitated, Your Second Highness. Let me explain.
I have a simple relationship with Jin Mi. It's that between a creditor and a debtor.
She owes me 1,000 years of spiritual powers, so we made a century agreement.
Every century, she'll return 100 years of spiritual powers to me.
Thus, we share spiritual powers, and we are more connected than others are.
Since that's the case, I don't need to sneak around. I'll go comfort her.
She's sleeping soundly. She doesn't need your comfort.
She doesn't need me? Really?
Will you use your Jiuyao True Fire to roast her into a raisin?
Rou Rou.
Rou Rou!
Rou Rou, don't worry.
My spiritual powers have increased a lot. I can protect you!
Rou Rou...
Rou Rou.
Let go of Rou Rou!
Rou Rou.
Let go of Rou Rou!
Let go of Rou Rou.
Rou Rou...
Phoenix.
Losing 100 years of spiritual powers because of food. Only she would do something like that.
Qiwu Palace
How much more spiritual powers does she owe you?
Why? Does Your Second Highness want to help her return it?
Let me remind you: spiritual powers are easy to return, but emotions aren't.
Your cultivation leve is high. I know that you don't lack this small amount of spiritual powers.
You are just using the debt as an excuse. You have other intentions towards Jin Mi.
However, let me get this straight:
Jin Mi is currently in my Qiwu Palace, so she is under my protection.
I don't care what you do outside,
but if you dare to reach your hands into my Qiwu Palace, I won't allow that.
