[Ashes of Love]
[Episode 7]
The food in Heavenly Realm is light and bland. After a long time, it can't be helped to find it dull and unappetizing.
Sometimes having a taste of spicy and densely sweet flavors is also quite carefree.
Hearing these words from the Second Highness
who only eats bamboos and fruits, drinks only water from springs,
the flavor is quite subtle.
How come it's these again?
It's always clear soup and water.
Don't you get sick of it?
Just because I'm a grape, I have to be a vegetarian?!
Moreover, I'm also non-meat.
Facing those friends of mine,
how can I bear to eat them?
This is more like it.
This is more delicious.
Your Highness, do you want to give it a try?
It's very delicious.
Come.
Immortal Jin Mi.
Hasn't anyone come to look for you yet?
Ha?
Nothing... You two just eat.
Why are you not coming over here to eat?
So, you're here. It was really hard to find you.
Princess Biancheng, I trust you have been well since we last met.
In the battle at the River of Forgetfulness last time, I haven't fully expressed myself.
When I heard that Fire Deity has come to our realm today, I am determined
to have another battle with you.
Sure! Sure!
Good....
People are doing business here. Let's change to another venue,
so that you can fully use your Demonic Bony Whip.
Princess, please.
Princess, you must not be lenient!
You know her?
Last time, at the banks of the River of Forgetfulness,
Phoenix challenged 100,000 demon army on his own.
This female demon was the first and only one
who dared to step out and accept Phoenix's challenge.
Although she can't beat Phoenix, she's still able to endure a few attacks.
It's a sight to behold.
So that's what happened.
Princess, please.
I heard that Princess Biancheng was well-versed using bows and riding horses since she was little.
She's known as the top female general of the Demon Realm.
Xu Feng, on the other hand, has the fame of God of War.
With two strong personalities meeting up, they indeed should have a good fight.
Your Highness, why won't you pull out your sword?
Am I not worthy to be your opponent? Aren't you looking down on me too much?
This princess is so weird.
Getting mad so easily.
Phoenix has even yielded her 3 rounds. It's the same too last time.
Immortal Jin Mi, there's something you don't know.
The Demon Realm reveres military skills. There's a tradition here
that the highest respect you can give your opponent is to fight him with all your might.
Being the daughter of King Biancheng, one of the
three kings of Demon Realm,
Princess Biancheng holds a respected position here and it's hard for her to find any worthy rival.
It must be because Xu Feng kept being lenient with her and this is hurting her pride.
This Phoenix is also too disrespectful. What's wrong with drawing out his sword?
Immortal Jin Mi, this Chixiao Sword (Extremely High Sky Sword) has unrivaled power.
It was jointly created by several shangshen in Shangqing Sky and had seals added on it.
It can kill an immortal, deity, monster, or demon.
Princess Biancheng is from the Demon clan.
It's easy for her to get wounded by the sword. Once the sword's blade touches your skin,
your skin will rot and decay, and you'll turn into ashes.
So, that's the reason...
I never point my sword on a friend, only to an enemy.
Princess, thank you for letting me win.
Once I go back and train for 300 to 500 more years, let's duel again.
I haven't even eaten my breakfast yet and already got forced by you to wield my sword.
Is this how your Biancheng Palace treats your guests?
And you have the nerve to say that?
You and Eldest Highness Night Deity traveled far to come here, but didn't even inform us first.
Royal Father received a letter from King Yancheng, that's why, he hurriedly ordered me to rush here.
Living in such a worn down inn.
Those who doesn't know will think that we deliberately treated you badly.
This shangshen is full of vigor and handsome. You must be Eldest Highness Night Deity.
Greetings, Eldest Highness Night Deity.
Princess, may you be magnanimous enough to forgive us. Honestly, we came to Demon Realm this time
not for a leisurely trip but for an official case.
It might be inconvenient to disturb your palace.
I don't think so.
It must be because His Highness Fire Deity has someone he likes
and is deliberately distancing himself from female demons like me.
Princess, why do you say so?
Earlier, while at your inn's garden, I saw that Yan Beast spit out a dream scene.
The woman in that dream is having intimate acts with Second Highness.
Could it be...someone you love?
It has nothing to do with me. I didn't tell her anything.
I didn't do it.
Even if my Yan Beast has outstanding skills,
he still won't be able to get past your enchantment field.
Could it be that last night, you were negligent and didn't set up an enchantment,
hence, this beast was able to steal your dream?
In my opinion, you surely didn't set up an enchantment field.
That's why, this Yan Beast ate your spring dream.
Little Fish Immortal...
Eldest Highness Night Deity is arranged to be married.
If his reputation gets tainted because of you,
how can our Qiwu Palace bear the consequences?! Come over here!
I've long heard that Heavenly Emperor has set a marriage alliance in Eldest Highness Night Deity's behalf,
but don't know which lady among the six realms
has earned such an honor?
The eldest daughter of the Water Deity.
Water Deity's eldest daughter?
Don't Water Deity and Wind Deity still have no children until now?
Little Fish Immortal, so you're official wife hasn't been born yet?
This Heavenly Princess Consort is so not giving you any respect.
Shut up.
- Immortal Jin Mi said it right. - Shut up.
If I eventually meet her, I surely will ask her about that.
Right. Right.
The matter of capturing Qiong Qi has great implications. Royal Father especially sent me here
to assist you two.
Princess, forgive me for being direct. Capturing Qiong Qi is just one part of our mission.
More importantly, we are going to investigate the truth behind Qiong Qi's escape.
The thing that has sealed Qiong Qi is the Soul Governing Cauldron of the Goddess Doumu yuanjun. (yuanjun are immortals/deities that were once mortals)
If no one removed the seal, with just QIong Qi's power, it's impossible for him to have escaped.
For the past years that Qiong Qi was sealed, no mishaps has ever happened.
It is indeed fishy that he was able to suddenly escape this time.
I can swear by the Heaven
that our Biancheng Royal Palace can never be involved in this.
I've known your father for a long time. I deeply know his character and will never doubt him.
As for others...
Anyway, we aim to be fair in this investigation, so as not to get criticized by others.
Hence, Eldest Highness and I decided not to disturb your royal father.
It's fine. I've already moved here this morning.
I can be of help anytime.
Thank you then.
What wind is blowing today?
Phoenix! Phoenix! When are we going to catch Qiong Qi?
If we're not going capture him yet, why don't you teach me some personal secret tricks?
Personal secret tricks?
Let me ask you first, have you memorized the 'Chasuo (Raksasas) Chant' already? (chasuo, a kind of demon)
What about the 'Alaksana (without form) Heart Mantra'?
What about the 'Brahma Spell'?
When you go out,
don't tell others that you're from my Qiwu Palace, so as not to bring disgrace to my palace.
I can't bear to taint my reputation.
Your Highness...
Do you want to eat some dried grapes?
This dried grape is soft, sticky, but sturdy.
Sweetness is just right. These are considered high quality grade dried grapes.
Please eat.
Why do you love dried grapes so much?
Since we're similar, it can compliment me.
Absurd.
Phoenix, Phoenix!
Who's the immortal in your romantic dream?
Which immortal has such the honor
to receive your appreciation?
There's no such person.
Forget it, then! It's fine if you don't admit it.
I saw it, anyway.
The girl in your dream looks a lot like me!
I just need to ask around, and I'll easily find out who she is.
It's you.
What?
Me?
However, don't overthink. It was not a romantic dream.
It's just an ordinary dream. Stop your wishful thinking.
I wasn't kissing you in my dream. Didn't you see it?
Actually, I was biting you.
W-Why bite me?
I remember telling you
that my true form is a bird, so I like to eat fruits.
Instead of cultivating and increasing your spiritual powers,
you cause trouble for me everywhere.
I just want to peel off your grape skin,
turn you into a raisin, chew you up,
and eat you.
This is bad. Turns out he even dreams about eating me.
My short life is over. If I had known,
I would have gone back to Water Mirror with Lao Hu.
Looks like she believed it.
I didn't scare her too badly, right?
Of course, dreams can't be taken seriously. Just treat this as a lesson.
If you dare to peak at a high immortal's dream again,
I won't spare you easily.
Also, if you let a third person learn of this,
I also won't let you off.
Wait, wait. Don't you know how to count?
You, me, Little Fish Immortal, and Liu Ying. That's four people!
Your Highness is right! Everything you say is right!
Y-Your Highness is the m-most handsome man
of the Six Realms. You're also the nicest.
Please don't turn me into
rocks, stools, cabbage, or things like that again.
Also, please stop biting me. Don't even dream about it!
Fire Deity.
Little Fish Immortal!
Demon Soldiers on patrol just reported to me
that they found traces of Qiong Qi in the Chiren Mountain area.
Princess, please lead us there.
Let's go!
Come on!
You're not allowed to go.
Why not?
Qiong Qi is crafty and powerful.
If you go, you'll only hinder us.
Let me go!
Immortal Jin Mi, Qiong Qi is not an ordinary beast.
It's safer if you listen to His Highness and stay here.
Just leave the job of catching Qiong Qi to me and His Highnesses.
Little Fish Immortal! Little Fish Immortal, let me out.
It's useless to beg anyone. Just stay here today and memorize the Cha Suo Tactic.
I'll quiz you when I get back.
Phoenix! Hey!
Little Fish Immortal!
Chiren Mountain
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
The dirt here doesn't have a burnt smell.
Looks like it's not caused by the spitting of molten rocks.
It indeed isn't.
Qiong Qi's blood is venomous.
When something touches it,
it will become turbid and black, as if it was burnt.
Looks like this dirt was caused by drops of Qiong Qi's blood.
Your Highness means that
Qiong Qi is hiding nearby?
Qiong Qi's true form is gigantic.
Is there a cave nearby that can fit his true form?
Come with me.
What is that smell? So stinky.
That day, Xu Feng injured Qiong Qi at the South Heavenly gate.
I'm guessing Qiong Qi's wound was infected and has pus.
This is the biggest cave in Chiren Mountain.
I am sure Qiong Qi is hiding in here.
We aren't familiar with the environment inside the cave.
Moreover, we're in the open while our enemy is hiding in the dark.
If we hastily go in the cave, it'll be dangerous.
How about I use my Demon Bone Whip to lure him out?
We can lure him out and work together to kill him,
but after Qiong Qi dies, his bones and flesh will turn into venom,
and within a thousand li perimeter, everything will become burnt dirt, bringing misery to the creatures living here.
Even ghosts will find it hard to survive.
Thus, we can't kill him with ordinary methods. We need to think of something else.
We need to first remove his demonic nature, and then reseal him into the Yuhun Cauldron.
That is a good plan,
but how should we go about it?
King Yancheng has a Demonic Chu that can remove his demonic nature. ("Chu" is a pestle-like weapon)
How about we go find King Yancheng?
King Yancheng values that weapon more than his life.
He'd never let somebody who is not of the Demon Realm borrow it.
How about I ask my father to be our guarantor? Maybe there's a chance that way.
Then, we will thank King Biancheng.
Please come in.
I did not know Fire Deity
and Night Deity have come. Sorry for my lack of welcome.
- King Yancheng. King Gucheng. - King Yancheng. King Gucheng.
Here, Your Highnesses.
- Please come in. - After you.
After you.
These days,
I have also been troubled by Qiong Qi's reappearance.
Luckily, I learned that Heavenly Emperor sent Your Highnesses
to help us. Your Highnesses, please help us
to kill Qiong Qi in order to avoid future troubles.
King Yancheng, please listen to me.
Qiong Qi cannot be killed. Otherwise, his blood will bring suffering to the Demon Realm.
Are Your Highnesses also at a loss of what to do?
In the past, Lord Doumu sealed him in the Yuhun Cauldron.
However, High Immortal is currently meditating in seclusion, so she is unable to appear.
This time, we are here to ask King Yancheng to lend us the Demonic Chu
in order to reseal Qiong Qi.
Fire Deity, you have never lost a battle, and you can defeat over 100,000 demon soldiers alone,
so naturally, a mere Qiong Qi is no challenge for you.
I believe that with Your Highnesses' abilities,
you can definitely capture this beast.
If I am asked to seal him with my own spiritual powers, I will not complain,
but there is one problem I want to bring to your attention.
Fire Deity, please tell us.
How Night Deity and I will report back to Heavenly Emperor defeated is not the big issue.
The problem is, the bystanders will also suffer.
Qiong Qi has been living in the Demon Realm for a long time. Once he begins to stir up trouble,
his first target would be the Demon Realm.
In the future, if the Six Realms are in calamity due to this, and want to find the reason
as to how Qiong Qi escaped,
how will you, King Yancheng,
answer to the Six Realms?
Naturally, it is because Qiong Qi is crafty
and powerful.
The Yuhun Cauldron was cast from ancient silver,
and with Lord Doumu's seal,
if nobody helped to remove the seal, a beast
cannot escape on his own.
Fire Deity, you are wrong.
This mess is in King Yancheng's territory.
King Yancheng, aren't you afraid people will accuse you of releasing a beast entrusted in your care?
Fire Deity, do not make slanderous charges against me!
I am not.
King Yancheng, you know very well how to silence the critical mouths of the world.
King Yancheng, please make the right choice.
King Yancheng, please do not be angry.
Fire Deity is just telling the truth as it stands. He was not trying to oppose Your Majesty.
However, we suspect that
somebody of the Demon Realm released Qiong Qi on purpose,
and he has ill intentions to bring chaos to the Six Realms
and to stir up conflict between the Demon Realm and the other realms.
It is not too late to mend this mistake.
Nobody is accusing you, King Yancheng, of improper security yet.
King Yancheng, if you are willing to put aside your sectarian prejudices
and make amends for your previous wrongdoing, you can definitely subdue Qiong Qi
and return peace to the Six Realms and innocence to the Demon Realm.
Your Highnesses,
I will definitely investigate this situation
and give a proper answer to the Six Realms!
King Yancheng, thank you for understanding this principle.
The most important task now is to capture Qiong Qi,
so please allow us to borrow the Demonic Chu.
Your Highnesses,
I am not purposefully refusing to lend it,
but since ancient times, the Demonic Chu
has belonged to the royal family of the Demon Realm.
It has never been lended to other realms before.
This is not hard.
Just send out a member of the royal family of the Demon Realm to join us
and capture Qiong Qi. This way, we are not breaking any customs of the Demon Realm.
Your Majesty, as a princess of the Demon Realm, I was unable to lessen your burden before.
I request to join Fire Deity and Night Deity in capturing Qiong Qi
to subdue that beast.
That's right, Your Majesty.
Liu Ying has always been reliable.
It will be no problem to give the Demonic Chu to her.
Nonsense!
How could the Demon Realm allow a woman and two outsiders to fight Qiong Qi?
If word gets out, others will laugh at the Demon Realm,
saying that we're out of men!
Princess Liu Ying is not inferior to any man.
With her help, we will surely subdue Qiong Qi.
Your Majesty,
your two sons are highly skilled in martial arts.
I think you should have your two sons take the Demonic Chu
and join Fire Deity and Night Deity.
I've always wanted my two sons to gain some experience,
but I never found the chance.
Today, with Fire Deity and Night Deity to instruct them,
I am not even worried about Qiong Qi.
Xuan Shou, Chi Shou.
Royal Father.
I'm ordering you two to take the Meteor Demon Baton
and join Fire Deity and Nigh Deity in sealing Qiong Qi.
A mere Qiong Qi is nothing.
Royal Father, just wait for our victorious return.
Right. We must let the two shangshen see the might of our Demon Realm.
Demon King, subduing Qiong Qi isn't child's play. I fear that the two princes...
...might need to exert a lot of efforts.
I am asking your permission to accompany them.
Okay. It's rare that you have this level of loyalty. Go with them!
Since that's the case, thank you King Yancheng,
and have to trouble the two princes and Princess Biancheng then.
Those two good-for-nothing from King Yancheng's family will only drag us down if we bring them.
I initially thought we can subdue Qiong Qi earlier,
but who would have thought that we must still put up a show for those two princes now.
Just leave those two to me.
Your Highness Fire Deity, stop losing focus just because of King Yancheng.
Let's just think of a way to lure Qiong Qi out of the cave.
Qiong Qi is naturally cunning and paranoid.
If we're going to use your Demonic Bony Whip to lure him out, I fear that it will only increase his vigilance.
We might not be able to successfully lure him out.
What if we use food and medicinal herbs as bait? Qiong Qi is currently injured.
He's rushing to find food and medicinal herbs to regain hi strength.
Qiong Qi has always preferred human babies as food.
We can't sacrifice mortal babies just to catch him, right?
Of course not.
What do we do then?
I once read in ancient books that
Qiong Qi likes to eat reishi mushrooms. Although we haven't verified this, there's no harm in trying.
Reishi mushrooms?
I can plant them.
Plant reishi mushrooms?
You can't.
Why can't I? You personally saw me plant a reishi mushroom.
Moreover, other than me, who else can plant one?
Qiong Qi is too dangerous. I can't let your life be endangered.
It's fine.
You can protect me, right?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Never thought that Immortal Jin Mi has such mystical power.
The Heavenly Realm is indeed the lair of tigers and dragons.
Say, little girl, why don't you just stay in our Royal Yancheng Palace?
Planting 880 reishi mushrooms everyday, so we can sell them in the mortal world.
Earn a great deal from this.
That's right...
880?
The reishi mushrooms of the Heavenly Realm would be sold at very cheap prices by then.
We'll sell you then.
An immortal like you who can plant reishi mushrooms,
how much spiritual energy will that be worth?
Shut up!
Whoever dares to speak again, I'll feed him to Qiong Qi.
Xu Feng.
Older Brother.
Immortal Jin Mi, that's more or less okay now.
No, it's not enough.
I must plant more reishi mushrooms so as to lure Qiong Qi out.
Looks like Qiong Qi is coming out.
It's better that we go hide.
Older Brother, let's stop staying here with them.
If we still don't hide, we'll be Qiong Qi's food soon!
Right...
- Let's hide first. - Let's go.
Take Liu Ying now to hide and wait to ambush.
It's better to just wait for Immortal Jin Mi and let's leave together.
I will protect her. You two go first.
You also must protect yourself well.
Jin Mi, that's enough. We should go.
No, it's not yet enough.
This time, I must lure Qiong Qi out
and seek revenge for Rou Rou.
Let's go.
Wait a minute! I'm not done yet!
Wait a minute!
Hey!
I haven't finished planting that one.
I already told you that I didn't finish.
You still dare to talk?
The entire way of the heaven, that includes the sun and the moon.
Get out of your hole and enter the dark!
Demonic Chu?
Immortal Jin Mi!
What did you just sprinkle on him?
Cactus thorns mixed with flower pollen.
Careful!
Use the Demonic Chu!
What?
How do I use this?
Repeat after me.
The end of natural law, the assembly of the moon and sun.
Leave, the profound. Enter, the subtle.
Demons and monsters...
Demons and monsters. What's after that?
Death to all.
- Immortal Jin Mi. - Immortal Jin Mi.
Jin Mi.
Farewell.
Phoenix, help me apologize
to Head Fragrance Chief. Say that in my next lifetime...
That's Qiong Qi's blood.
I know.
Has the venom entered my bones already?
You did very well just now. We were able to seal him.
The venom in Qiong Qi's blood has been removed by Demonic Chu.
What?
I'm so awesome!
With the Jiuyao True Fire's seal on this Yuhun Cauldron,
Qiong Qi will not be able to escape again.
I want to bring the Yuhun Cauldron back to the Heavenly Realm
and ask Father to turn Qiong Qi into ashes.
Qiong Qi's escape this time was not an accident.
If we continue leaving Yuhun Cauldron in the Demon Realm,
even if there is a fire seal, it would not help the situation.
Then, who do Your Highnesses think is the most suspicious?
Although there's no solid evidence, there's one suspicious person.
Are you talking about...
Your Highnesses, please don't keep me guessing.
Who are you talking about?
This is still just a guess. More investigations and verifications are required.
Once the truth is revealed, we can tell you.
Tonight is the lunar eclipse. I will go back to duty now.
Xuan Shou is severely injured, so be careful when you are talking to King Yancheng.
Also, you were hit by Qiong Qi while saving Immortal Jin Mi.
Get some good rest.
Once you get back, don't tell Father and Mother about my injury.
Don't worry.
Princess, goodbye.
Xuan Shou!
My son!
Why have you become like this?
Fire Deity!
