Ashes of Love
Episode Six
Uncle, hurry and tell Father
that Qiong Qi is attacking the South Heavenly Gate. Ask him to send reinforcements immediately.
Xiao Tao Tao,
- are you alright? Let me see. - I'm fine.
Little Fish Immortal, you must be careful.
Don't worry. Protect Jin Mi.
Phoenix!
Be careful!
Get up.
Qiong Qi is cruel. Do not go after him.
How are you two? Are you injured?
I have failed. I was unable to stop the beast and allowed Qiong Qi to break through South Heanvely Gate.
Father, please punish me.
Do not blame yourself.
He is an ancient beast
who is abnormally fierce. He is not somebody you can defeat alone.
Hurry and return to the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace with me
to come up with a plan in case he brings more disaster.
Are you okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
I heard that Qiong Qi brought trouble to the Six Realms 900 years ago.
At the time, not only did it bring chaos to the Dream Realm,
it broke the tranquility of the Flower Realm.
The Heavenly Realm sent many powerful high immortals
who spent a long time to catch this beast.
Then after, Lord Doumu was invited to personally seal him.
Now, Qiong Qi is back. I wonder for what reason.
Qiong Qi's reappearance is very suspicious. In my opinion,
The most important thing now is to quickly catch and reseal him.
If we allow this poison remain in the Six Realms, he'll bring future trouble.
You are very correct.
In my opinion, since the Great Immortal-Demon War,
although Demon Realm has stopped fighting with Heavenly Realm,
they have yet to give up on their sinister plans, and are ready to make trouble.
Although King Yancheng has retreated from River of Forgetfulness, he has yet to fully withdraw.
Now Qiong Qi has reappeared.
I think it is surely related to the Demon Realm.
I ask for permission to visit the Demon Realm and capture Qiong Qi,
and use this chance to investigate into the Demon Realm.
Fire Deity is right.
Whoever started the trouble should end it. This mess originated in Demon Realm,
so please announce your decision, father.
As of today,
the peace of the Six Realms have been sustained for a long time, and it is not an easy job.
We cannot allow the Demon Realm to create trouble again and ruin the peace.
Fire Deity, Xu Feng, accept my decree.
Here!
I have granted you the Chixiao Sword. Patrol the Demon Realm in name of the Heavenly Realm.
You must capture Qiong Qi,
and find the truth behind Qiong Qi's reappearance.
I will abide to this decree.
It's very late. Why is Phoenix not back yet?
I wonder how his injuries from Qiong Qi are.
Cai Cai!
My poor Cai Cai!
Poor Cai Cai!
I only haven't seen you for two days. How did someone cook you?
These heartless immortals of the Heavenly Realm!
What a sin!
This... Who is Cai Cai?
Have you forgotten? In the field next to Water Mirror.
He's Chives Sister's lover, the small mustard vegetable!
When you were young, he said that you're smart and clever. Did you forget?
Now that I look at it, he does look familiar.
But how did you recognize him?
Of course I recognize him!
Cai Cai...
His leaves have always been bright green, his roots are white,
his head is round, and the middle is tender. Of course it's him!
Don't mustard vegetables all look like that?
Your Highness.
Your Highness. I heard that you battled against Qiong Qi at South Heavenly Gate.
Are you injured?
I'm fine. You may go now.
Yes.
Stop crying.
Greetings, uncle.
Baby Phoenix.
Who is this?
A rotten bamboo can't produce good shoots.
There's no kind person in the Heavenly Realm!
Your father and mother are like that, so you definitely are, as well!
Xu Feng, do you remember that when you secretly released the jade rabbit in the past,
there was a carrot immortal who was chased around the entire Heavenly Realm by the jade rabbit?
That is him.
I was clueless when I was young, and I offended you, immortal.
I now apologize.
However, Heavenly Emperor and Empress are the head of the Six Realms.
You have no right to criticize them.
Lao Hu, Lao Hu, let's talk in peace.
The food at your house doesn't taste good!
Xiao Tao Tao, come back to Water Mirror with me to report back to Head Fragrance Chief.
I heard that recently, the Flower Realm was willing to fall out with the Bird Tribe for a sprite.
Was this hostility because of Jin Mi?
So what if it's true? So what if it's false?
Flower Realm cut all communications with the Heavenly Realm for thousands of years.
Now, the fragrance chiefs are spending so much effort on a small sprite.
Looks like they are quite busy.
Matters of the Flower Realm are none of the Heavenly family's business.
Are you going back?
Yes. Yes.
That's good then.
Qiong Qi has returned and is wreaking havoc. Father Emperor asked me to go to the Demon Realm to investigate. I will be leaving by tomorrow.
This trip will surely take years. If you stay here in Heavenly Realm,
it will also be just a waste for no one will be teaching you cultivation techniques. It is indeed better that you go back.
Silly Phoenix, how can you let Jin Mi leave?!
Good! Good!
You've said your farewell. We can leave now, right?
Wait a minute!
We can't leave yet.
Why?
I haven't packed my bag.
Little ancestor, why are you muddled more than me? You're not a mortal, so you don't have any baggage.
If you want to wear any beautiful clothes, you can just flick your fingers and change. Won't you have anything you want already?
I...am not talking about clothes.
I want...to take some books with me.
Books?
Yes. Yes. After coming here,
I have been learning this mental technique.
Because there are some classic chants that I haven't clearly understood yet,
so I want to take them back and can even ask Head Fragrance Chief about it, won't that be good?
Okay...
Your Highness, can I take some books from your study?
You are so focused on learning. I feel so comforted. You can take whatever books you like.
- Thank you, Your Highness. - That's more like it.
Never thought that the heaven has opened its eyes. Xiao Tao Tao,
other than playing, you now know to improve yourself.
Good. Then, we'll leave tomorrow.
- Okay... We'll leave tomorrow. - Bring some more books...
Those that you can't carry anymore, I'll carry them.
Okay...
[Qi Wu Palace]
Hey.
Wait a minute.
It's okay now.
You finally know to not let me drink boiling water today?
Today, that Qiong Qi was really scary. Thank you for saving me.
Good thing, you have a conscience.
I love my life a lot. Hence, I surely will heavily thank a person that saves my life.
How does she plan to thank me?
How do you plan to thank me?
Didn't I already thank you?
Forget it. Playing zither to a bull. (useless)
Why is he mad again at me out of nowhere? Really so moody.
Don't worry, I surely will subdue Qiong Qi and seek vengeance for you.
Okay. If you really subdue him, even if you ask me to be your gardener afterwards,
I will be very willing. I will even fill your garden with phoenix flowers.
What's wrong with you? Are you alright?
Assist me to go there.
Okay... Slowly.
Phoenix, are you alright?
I'm fine. I just need to regulate and mobilize my qi for 12 little day cycles and I'll be fine.
- Phoenix. - I'm alright now.
What expression is that? Your eyebrows and eyes are wrung together.
I'm thinking, could you have just used magic and is just forcefully enduring it?
Why will I do that?
Stand up and take 2 turns for me.
I'm up now.
No. It's impossible to verify that you're well like this.
- I must see it with my own eyes. - What are you doing?
I want to see if the injury on your back is gone. If I don't look at it, how can I know that you're cured?
- Let go. - I'm not letting go!
You must let me see. Qiong Qi was so strong. How can you be cured that easily?
I will not believe it if I don't personally see it!
If I say it's cured, then it's cured. If you keep pulling like this is so scandalous!
Let me see! I'll stop once you let me see it!
Let me see.
Wow!
So you deities have scars too.
How come you have so many scars? What are all these about?
They were all left behind from my past battles. How long are you planning to look?
Oh, okay already.
Do little savage monsters like you all like to disregard sexual differences and pull other people's clothing like that?
It's fine to do it to me, but you mustn't casually do it on others. Understand?
Got it.
You're so good that your injury from Qiong Qi was completely cured,
but how come you have so many scars?
With war matters being urgent, how can you have the time to treat your wounds all the time? Hence, it can't be helped to leave some scars.
But all these are just superficial wounds. They're nothing.
Will you feel pain?
Not anymore.
Looks like being a shangshen isn't easy too.
Of course. The law of nature states that
you should deduct from what's excessive to make up for those that is lacking. What is high is brought low, what is low is brought high.
The higher your spiritual energy is, the powerful you are, and the responsibility and burden you carry is also larger.
The things you need to protect will also become more.
Yes.
Before, I heard from Head Fragrance Chief that in our Flower Realm,
if you take in a white frost reishi mushroom,
an injured person will immediately be healed, while an uninjured person can use it to strengthen his body.
In consideration of you risking your life to save me, I'll gift you one then.
I heard that reishi mushrooms are a rare sacred item in Flower Realm.
You don't need to disturb Head Fragrance Chief just for me.
Lao Hu said before that
good looking people spend most of their energy on their face,
hence, they are dim-witted most of the time. You are also the same.
You abducted and brought me here. Why would High Fragrance Chief save you?
Since that's the case, what do you mean by 'gifting me one'?
Isn't it just a plant? I'll just make one appear and gift it to you.
You're going to make it appear?
Don't look down on me. It's easy to make these things.
Just think of how you're going to thank me once I magically create one.
Okay. Let's talk about that once you've made one appear.
Just you wait then.
Wait and see.
If you're able to plant a white frost reishi mushroom there, I'll give you 200 years of spiritual energy. How about it?
I know that you're mocking me.
But fruits like me won't argue with a bird.
300 years.
Okay, 300 years.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
I...was able to plant one!
I planted a reishi mushroom!
You see.
300 years of spiritual energy. You can't take your word back.
What kind of person are you?
What are you doing?
Fresh Frost Lingzhi (mushroom) is a holy item from the Flower Realm.
How could it be grown by a grape sprite?
What kind of relationship are you with the past Flower Deity?
The past Flower Deity's spiritual energy is powerful,
ranking above immortals, if I've got some relationship with her, that'd be good.
I'm not joking with you, who are you?
I'm a grape.
What are you doing?
Do you not want to give me spiritual energy? If so, you could've just said it.
Why do you have to be like this?
Fox Immortal, how are you here?
♫ The wind gently blows past. ♫
♫ The heaven and earth are separate, by an immeasurable distance. ♫
The Fox Immortal was correct, before stabilising a man, you must kiss him on the lips.
But why does it feel a bit strange?
The remainder can also be used.
Here. You can't waste my Lingzhi.
♫ A thousand years, ten thousand years. From then, we will never forget about each other, ♫
♫ no matter how chaotic the world is. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be waiting there to watch the sunset together. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we fell in love in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫

Rou Rou, Phoenix got injured because of saving me.
But, this bird, full of schemes and plans
said he was fully healed. Who knows if he is really fully healed?
Also, he used his life to save me.
If I just left, it'll be too unrighteous. Right?
Also, even if it's not for him. For you,
I must go to the Demon Realm and seek revenge on Qiong Qi.

Congratulations Your Highness.
Where did it come from?
I heard that Your Highness did another mighty deed of severely injuring Qiong Qi.
The Heavenly Emperor personally gave you the Chixiao Sword, which can execute both immortals and demons.
This sword is a heaven-securing treasure. The Heavenly Emperor's move,
is clear without being spoken out loud. Aunt is also pleased.
So, I especially came to congratulate you.
It's part of my job, you don't always have to keep it next to your mouth.
You came here early this morning, do you have anything important?
Your Highness is about to travel afar, so I especially came to bid farewell.
Also, I heard rumours saying that Jin Mi,
is the person that the Head Fragrance Chief is looking for. Is that true?
Your informations inform you well.
Seems like my Qiwu Palace should tidy up its internal affairs a bit.
No wonder, I searched all around the Bird Realm and I didn't even find half of her shadow.
This Jin Mi, indeed does whatever she wants, and acts rashly.
Just because of her, the Bird Realm got into so much trouble.
Jin Mi cannot be blamed on this. I decided to bring her to the Heaven Realm that day.
I'll find a day to apologise to the Head Fragrance Chief and clear the misunderstandings.
Naturally.
As long as the Flower Realm and the Bird Realm are back at peace, then I can rest assured.
Only, I always thought of Jin Mi as my friend,
and she didn't even tell me her real identity. I'm truly disappointed.
You've always been generous, don't bother with Jin Mi, this foolish person.
Phoenix has a high level of spiritual energy, hope he doesn't notice me.
Painful.
Your Highness, why does this robe have some dirt?
Your Highness, it might be because that book which is old and isn't clean, touched it.
Your Highness, do you want to change the robe?
How does Your Highness find this purple one?
A bit too bright.
Then, what does Your Highness think about that black one?
Too dark.
Doesn't matter, a bit of dirt doesn't matter. I'll choose this one.
Yes.
Painful.
It's really painful.
[Bank of the River of Forgetfulness]
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Do you want to cross the river?
Indeed. I'll be bothering you.
Please.
Master, please stand firmly, the immortal in the sleeve pouch must also grasp firmly.
I'll start the boat now.
The immortal in the sleeve pouch, you better grasp firmly.
This a--
Yesterday night,
I don't know how I slept in the wrong place. It's really not a coincidence. Not a coincidence.
This is the River of Forgetfulness.
If you don't want to feed the souls in this river, sit still.
Where's the Pu Tao Hairpin?
I'm afraid it'll hurt your self esteem, so I took it off.
Why would my self-esteem be hurt?
Of course, because your scared I'll take away the title of being the prettiest guy in the six realms.
I guarded the River of Forgetfulness for hundreds of thousands of years,
this is the second time I saw such a beautiful girl.
The ferryman's business is a bit too quiet,
hundreds of thousands of years and you've only seen two women.
I remember ten thousand years ago, a girl came by.
Who wanted a cup of Forgetful Water.
That girl's beauty could make a king give up his country.
With every footstep grew a flower on the path.
Her face was beautiful but her emotions was tragic.
Not like this girl who's beautiful without evilness.
This seems to be an interesting story.
If I tell this to Immortal Yuexia, he'd be so happy.
Then? What happened then?
Then, a gentleman caught up with her.
And spilled the cup of water from her hands to the ground.
After a moment of quarrel, the girl decided to dive into the River of Forgetfulness.
That gentleman panicked and with madness he blocked her path.
Then they both,
quickly disappeared and didn't leave a shadow behind.
Forgetfulness. Forgetfulness.
When one looks back, everything is distant and afar.
So it was a story with a bright start and sloppy ending.
Stabilize your steps.
I told you to be careful. So clumsy.
Really such a moody bird.
Don't leave me behind.
I'm afraid to be alone here.
You're a demon. What's there to be afraid of?
That's right. Very reasonable.
What?! I'm not a demon.
I'm a sprite.
Starting today, here in the Demon Realm, you'll be my personal maid attendant.
You have to follow my orders anytime.
I'll then ensure that you won't get captured by demons. Is that okay?
Fine.
Why did you turn my hair into two braids?! This is so old-fashioned!
Why must you give me two braids?
- I don't like it. - I find it nice.
Two-braids are ugly!
I feel that it's quite good.
This demon lord, buy some tails. All these are fresh products.
If you put it on, I guarantee no one can notice your real form.
So realistic. It's even warm.
Do you have any rabbit ears?
I do...
You really have them.
I can use this to scare Lao Hu.
Does it look good?
Demon lady, you got good taste.
Those rabbit ears were magically created based on the rabbit ears from the moon palace.
Really?!
Be careful of getting swindled.
Okay.
Demon lady, you haven't given me any spiritual energy.
What spiritual energy?
I'll pay it for her.
- Little Fish Immortal? - Immortal Jin Mi.
Why are you here?
I'm sure that you have been well.
Thank you, Little Fish Immortal.
Here.
When my maid attendant buy things, it should be me paying.
How can I dare trouble Eldest Highness Night Deity?
Between brothers, there's no such thing as giving trouble.
Brothers?
You two are brothers?
The Heavenly Realm is really weird.
First, there was a fox uncle.
Now, there is a handsome fish brother.
As they say, it's a small world.
You two seem to know each other.
A accidentally bumped into Little Fish Immortal when he was walking his deer.
Fish?
Eldest Highness Night Deity, when did you start not wanting to be a dragon and became a fish instead?
Eldest Highness Night Deity?
I heard that Fire Deity became a crow in the Flower Realm some time ago.
Being a fish won't affect my elegance that much.
You...are actually...Ying Dragon the Night Deity?
So those with fish tails isn't always a fish.
It can also be some low-profile dragon.
I didn't expect that Immortal Jin Mi is the personal maid attendant of FIre Deity.
This is so interesting.
What tickled your interest today that you came to the Demon Realm to tour?
You requested to personally come to the Demon Realm to capture Qiong Qi. I was worried.
I then came to assist you.
Qiong Qi is unusually fierce.
I won't be able to free up any hand to protect you.
Don't worry. I won't drag you down.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Such a big house!
Where am I staying then?
You are my personal maid attendant. Of course, you must take care of my lodging and needs.
That's not good. I'm not used to sleeping with others on one bed.
This is an apartment type room. Of course, you'll find a space to sleep in.
Tonight, I'm going to discuss some battle strategy with Eldest Highness.
Go and get some good food and drinks, then deliver them to my room.
You just know to order me around.
How come you're also here in the Demon Realm?
Old Hu...
This parting will probably be years again. The present beautiful scenery will all be gone by then.
Immortal, your letter.
Immortal, Immortal Jin Mi left this for you.
Jin Mi.
[Fated Love Manor]
Xiao Tao Tao!
Xiao Lu (Little Deer), good morning!
Come, I'll give you some grasses.
It's hard to find these grasses here in the Demon Realm.
Stop just eating dreams. You should mix meat and vegetables.
This way, you'll be healthy.
Eat some grasses.
Come, eat...
Eat.
Immortal Jin Mi, don't make things hard on it.
Little Fish Immortal.
Immortal Jin Mi, there's something that you don't know. Yan Beast only eats dreams.
It can't take in grasses.
When I let it out at night, it can find dreams by itself and eat them.
Only eats dreams?
Don't know if dreams taste good.
Is it sweet or salty?
This little guy made a dream about getting rich and embracing a beautiful woman.
But how come the color of this dream was changing?
Dreams are usually divided into two kinds.
One is a blue colored 'what you see' dream.
One is a yellow colored 'what you think' dream.
In dreaming, if what you dream are images that has happened,
the dream image will then emit a blue color,
pertaining to the blue 'what you see' dreams.
If the images didn't really happen and are just imagined,
this dream bubble will then emit a yellow color,
pertaining to the 'what you think' dream.
When people dream, usually at the start, they are real events.
But afterwards, slowly, different imaginations will appear.
This dream will then turn from your blue colored 'what you see' dream to a yellow colored 'what you think' dream.
It feels so complicated.
Putting it in simple words, do you mean that the yellow dreams are fake
and the blue dreams are true?
If there are blue and yellow, then it's half-true, half-false?
That's right. What Immortal Jin Mi said is correct.
Oh, right. Breakfast is ready. Let's eat first.
It's fine. You guys just eat first. I'll follow in a while.
Okay. I'll take my leave then.
Little beast, that dream you spit out earlier is really interesting.
Spit one more out for me.
This...isn't this Phoeneix?
This must be the 'spring dream' (erotic dream) that Elder Yue mentioned.
Never expected this. That Phoenix lad...
He usually looked so dignified.
He actually makes spring dreams too.
How come that woman looked exactly the same as me?
Talk. Who is that woman who is in embrace with Fire Deity?
Isn't this that female general from the Demon Realm?
I also don't know.
I was just looking earlier.
But then you whipped it down and now I can't see anything anymore.
Who are you?
You dare peek into the dream of a shangshen.
Me?
I am the personal main attendant of His Highness Fire Deity.
Where is he?
Come... Let me tell you.
He's currently eating.
Go straight, then left, left, and then left.
After than, turn right and you'll find him.
Go!
Immediately look for a good spot to watch.
Heavenly Realm's food is quite light and bland. After a long time, you can't help to find it dull and unappetizing.
Sometimes tasting spicy and densely sweet flavors are quite carefree.
Hearing those words from the Second Highness who will only eat bamboo and fruits, and drink only spring water,
the flavor is so subtle.
Come.
Immortal Jin Mi.
Hasn't anyone come yet to look for you?
