Ashes of Love
Episode 42
It's the jiangzhu herb. Could it be Li Chuan?
If it's really him, he indeed is very infatuated with medicine.
Be careful! Jiangzhu herb's poison is very strong.
Just touching it and the poison can already enter your body.
But don't know where he is now.
We'll know once we try.
You... My jiangzhu herbs!
Brother Feng, look.
Mi'er,
after not seeing for several days, how come you've grown thinner again.
Although these romantic novels I own are indeed very good,
you shouldn't keep reading them that you've forgotten to sleep and eat.
Did you come today to bring me some new novels?
These are novels I've collected all over the six realms.
All are very popular works.
Thank you, Fox Immortal.
But, I read this 'Immortal-Mortal Magnificent Love' earlier.
It talked about the love story of a pair of immortal and mortal.
The process is quite heart rending.
It's just that the ending seems to be a bit too cruel.
Although it's indeed inappropriate for this immortal to be such a womanizer,
I never expected that
this mortal will kill the immortal in the end.
Isn't the ending very unexpected?
I actually thought about that for so many months,
repeatedly editing it numerous times before deciding on such an ending.
This novel was written by you?
After reading so many novels, it can't be helped to have skills...
Was it so surprising?
I just have one thing I didn't understand.
The internal pellet containing the immortal's elite energy is where his spiritual energy converge.
Only by destroying that internal pellet will an immortal get completely destroyed and disappear.
But the mortal in the book only punctured his toe.
How come he still died and disappeared?
The elite energy internal pellet concerns the life of an immortal.
Hence, every immortal will naturally hide their elite energy internal pellet
to a place that only he knows about.
Doing that makes it safer. While the immortal in this book
hid his elite energy internal pellet in his toe.
He then told his mortal lover about this.
Hence, it led to this tragedy.
How about it? Isn't this 'Immortal- Mortal Magnificent Love' a good read?
It is indeed. Just like its title,
magnificent love. The love was magnificent indeed.
Too bad, this novel that I exerted so much effort on
wasn't a big hit in the whole six realms.
That Yuan Ji...even said that it was so corny.
I even wanted to make an opera out of this.
Immortal-Mortal Magnificent Love...
Did Your Highness Fire Deity find out anything?
Within an enchanted enclosure in Mt. Mi, I discovered a field of jiangzhu herb.
Demon King died from the poison of the jiangzhu herb.
Jiangzhu herb? From what I know,
that poisonous herb has been completely destroyed thousands of years ago and has disappeared from this world.
Does King Gucheng remember Li Chuan?
He's that crazy man who attempted to re-breed jiangzhu herbs several years ago.
He created an extremely cold enchanted enclosure in Mt. Mi
and planted a field of jiangzhu herbs.
Which means...
...King Biancheng got the jiangzhu herb from Li Chuan and poisoned Demon King?
There are no evidences proving that King Biancheng and Li Chuan are connected.
But within the enchanted enclosure he created, I discovered a very interesting item.
The poison of these plague needles plus the extremely cold temperature of the enchanted enclosure
are helpful for the growth of the jiangzhu herbs. King Gucheng also knows that
those plague needles came from Qiong Qi.
But Qiong Qi is now locked up in the Heavenly Realm.
It's impossible for him to be conniving with Li Chuan.
But Lord Gucheng have guarded Qiong Qi for several hundreds of years.
It's not surprising if you have some plague needles in your hands.
What does Fire Deity mean by those words? Are you suspecting that I am
the murderer of Demon King?
We'll know once Li Chuan wakes up and we get to ask him.
The words of a crazy person shouldn't be believed in.
King Gucheng, have you seen Li Chuan?
Never did.
How did you know that he's crazy?
I only have heard of it.
No matter what, I surely will find the truth before tomorrow.
I'll give Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm an explanation.
Your Majesty, what should we do now?
We mustn't let Li Chuan open his mouth. You take care of this matter.
Yes.
Looks like...I must go to Heavenly Realm.
Mu Ci!
Mu Ci, what's wrong?
The Corpse- Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms.
Just endure it for a while.
Brother Feng...he can save you.
Endure it a little. I'll go look for Brother Feng. I'll ask him to save you.
Brother Feng! Please save Mu Ci.
Brother Feng, I beg you to save Mu Ci.
You cultivate fire elemental magic. Your blood can feed those Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms and it can save Mu Ci. I beg you.
No.
I beg Your Highness to burn the Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms inside my body.
Burn the Heavenly Silkworms? You then will only have 10 years of life.
Even if I just have 10 years left,
I'm not willing to rely on others to live.
I want to live in a dignified manner.
Love you in an open and aboveboard manner.
But I want a lifetime!
Princess,
forgive my selfishness.
I'm not willing to live in such an undignified manner.
The more I'm not willing
to not be qualified to love you.
No matter how long I can still live, my whole life...
...only belongs to you.
Mu Ci, no...
Hope Princess
and Your Highness can fulfill my wish.
If I burn and kill your Heavenly Silkworms,
not only will your lifespan decrease, your spiritual power will also slowly disappear.
In the end, be like a mortal.
Have you really decided?
I have decided.
Liu Ying, no matter what, I will save Mu Ci.
But if burning the Heavenly Worms is his wish,
we should fulfill it then.
♫ My only wish is to live without regrets, and fly far away with the flowers’ fragrance. ♫
♫ A bottle of rice wine, a body covered in dust and ashes. ♫
♫ Memories go back and forth, a life without regrets. ♫
♫ From spring to autumn, life comes and goes. Is it right to be vain? ♫
♫ I’m waiting for the flowers to return and bloom again, intoxicating me.. ♫
♫ Sincerely hoping that my lifespan is no longer withering away ♫
♫ I’m waiting for the flowers to return and bloom again, intoxicating me. ♫
♫ Sincerely hoping that my lifespan is no longer withering away ♫
♫ I want to go back to savor the aftertaste of the wine again. ♫
Mu Ci!
Without the Heavenly Silkworms, his body will slowly get weak.
From now on...
I will take care of him for a lifetime.
If you two can sincerely and truthfully accompany each other,
even if it's just for a fleeting moment, it's still worth it.
Just treasure your remaining days together.
Informing Princess, Li Chuan died from poison in the prison earlier.
Jiangzhu herb. We now have no more clues.
How else can I clean Royal Father's name?
- Royal Father. - Your Highness.
- King Biancheng. - Earlier, King Gucheng sent men to inform me
that Fire Deity has captured the real perpetrator in Demon King's murder, Li Chuan.
Yes. We indeed have arrested Li Chuan,
but he already died from jiangzhi poison earlier in prison.
What?
This matter surely isn't that simple. I just visited King Gucheng earlier and Li Chuan successively died.
This matter surely is connected with King Gucheng.
I think that we should investigate the guards in the prison.
Greetings, King Biancheng, Princess Liu Ying,
- Your Highness. - Why are you here?
Heavenly Emperor learned that Your Highness have captured the true murderer of Demon King
and cleared King Biancheng's name.
Hence, he ordered me to come here and ask you to return to Heavenly Realm.
I still haven't informed the Heavenly Realm about this, so how did Father Emperor knew that I've caught Li Chuan?
Moreover, Li Chuan is just the breeder of the poisonous plants.
I'm still investigating the real mastermind.
Why is Father Emperor calling me back at this time?
I only know that Heavenly Emperor is ordering you to immediately return to the Heavenly Realm.
Since that's the case, Your Highness, you better return to the Heavenly Realm first.
Regarding Li Chuan, Liu Ying and I will continue investigating it.
For this matter, it's all thanks to Your Highness' help that my innocence is proven.
King Biancheng, you're welcome. We all wish that the Demon Realm will be in peace.
From now on, whether the Demon Realm and Heavenly Realm can peacefully co-exist, without any troubles occurring,
will still need King Biancheng to put in more efforts.
I surely will do my best. May Your Highness be at ease.
Be careful of King Gucheng.
If there will be any problem with Mu Ci's health, come to the Heavenly Realm anytime to look for me.
Thank you Brother Feng for saving my Royal Father and helping Mu Ci.
If you need me for anything in the future, just say it.
I surely will not refuse and go through water or fire for you.
It's enough to have those words from you.
Farewell.
Fire Deity is well-versed in both knowledge and fighting.
If he can become the heavenly emperor in the future,
he surely can bring thousands of years of peace to the six realms.
It's just that...
It's just that what?
It's just that the power of His Highness Night Deity mustn't be belittled.
Moreover, the current Heavenly Emperor has such deep scheming heart.
Just to balance Fire Deity and Night Deity,
he removed Fire Deity's military power not long ago.
In the future, whether the heavenly emperor position
will get passed down to Fire Deity or Night Deity,
it's indeed hard to say.
Greetings, Father Emperor.
In this trip to Demon Realm, you have worked hard.
Why did Father Emperor called me back midway?
The Li Chuan that I have caught was just a pawn of the person behind this.
I suspect that this matter is deeply connected with King Gucheng.
I initially feared that if King Gucheng will monopolize the power in Demon Realm,
it will be disadvantageous for the Heavenly Realm.
But if the Demon Realm is just left with a King Biancheng,
the danger still exists. In this trip of yours, you were able to clear King Biancheng's name,
hence, you've already completed your mission.
The Demon Realm needs two kings to balance each other's power so that there is peace.
But Heavenly Emperor—
This trip of yours really made me so pleased.
From now on, you should focus more on the affairs of the Heavenly Realm.
Don't let other matters distract you.
Today, I'm returning the power to the Five Directions Heavenly Army to you.
Don't disappoint me again.
Yes.
Your Majesty, Fire Deity has returned to the Heavenly Realm.
Should we use this opportunity to kill King Biancheng?
I initially thought
that Fire Deity only knows brute courage. Never thought...
...that he also has outstanding intelligence and strategy skills.
Good thing, I was able to go to Heavenly Realm on time to deal with the aftermath. Or else,
I fear that I'm in great danger now.
Heavenly Emperor and Fire Deity want
me and King Biancheng to mutually restrict each other.
Presently, our wings aren't full yet.
It's inappropriate to be reckless.
We shouldn't rush and must endure more. Wait for the proper moment for action.
Yes.
Ordering it in the morning, then changing it by sunset. Just passing around the military power like that as if some child's game.
Isn't this action of Heavenly Emperor so hateful?
As the Heavenly Emperor, checking and balancing of power
is such a normal thing.
Don't put too much importance to it.
I've already returned the military command of the Five Directions Heavenly Army to Xu Feng.
What do you think about it? Do you feel aggrieved?
Replying to Father Emperor,
your arrangement is indeed very appropriate.
Another person might have learned the doctrine earlier than the other. One person might be an expert at a certain field.
Xu Feng has commanded the military for a long time. He has long held great prestige within the military.
My expertise isn't military affairs.
I also was just temporarily handling them.
If there will be any major crisis, I actually feared that I won't be able to command them well.
Were there any criticisms within the military
while you were heading the Eight Directions Heavenly Army?
Are they complaining?
It's me who is lacking in experience. It has nothing to do with anyone.
Fine then. I will investigate this matter myself.
I'll give you a new task.
King Gucheng will soon inherit the Demon King position.
Go down the Demon Realm and relay to King Gucheng my decree.
It's always been Xu Feng who handles the matters in Demon Realm.
I fear that...
Xu Feng has developed a very deep grudge between him and King Gucheng because of past battles.
I fear that it's inconvenient to send him.
I will follow your command.
Your Highness.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
I've already placed 12 seals.
Your Highness Fire Deity, Jin Mi asked me to relay a message to you.
During her mourning period, she hopes that there won't be any distractions.
These next 3 years, she wants to be left alone and refuses to see anyone.
I just want to see her for a while. I have something to tell her.
Your Highness Fire Deity, since Jin Mi said it that way,
don't make things difficult for me.
Father, mother, Auntie Lin Xiu,
what should I do?
What should I do?
I don't want you to become a flower inside a greenhouse.
Now that I'm by your side, it's more refreshing to be under the big tree.
But one day, I will depart from this world and become a spirit.
I can't forever protect you.
In the whole six realms, only you and Heavenly Empress can use the Pure Glass Fire,
but Heavenly Empress is currently imprisoned!
Now, the only person who can employ the Pure Glass Fire
is only you. It's you who killed my father!
Father, mother, don't worry.
I surely will let everyone know
who killed father and Auntie Lin Xiu.
What did you see?
Let me see! Let me see!
Two lovers ending up together.
So good.
Oh, right. The wedding of Jin Mi and His Highness Night Deity will be soon.
The days are passing by so fast.
Little Fish Immortal, you had to attend to so many matters in the Heavenly Realm every day.
After your duty, you still come down here to Flower Realm to play chess with me.
If your body can't take it anymore, go home early to rest.
I'm not tired.
These past years, you persisted in doing your mourning and didn't go out.
I come to drive away your boredom and narrate to you the happenings in the outside world,
so that you can prop yourself up earlier.
For me, being able to see you and accompany you after work
is the greatest bliss of my life.
If you put it there, you surely will lose within 10 moves.
Little Fish Immortal, after 3 days, it's the wedding day that
Heavenly Emperor set for us.
Is there anything wrong about it?
I know that you treat me very well,
but my heart is empty.
Even if it's like that, are you still willing to accept me and marry me?
I will fill up your heart.
Just give me this position where I can openly take care of you.
Little Fish Immortal,
Mi'er,
sorry.
His Highness Night Deity is indeed untainted despite coming from mud.
Never thought for a bunch of evils in the Heavenly Royal Family, a good one will come out.
I told you before that His Highness Night Deity is special,
but you even looked down on him in the past.
Stop mentioning the past with me.
My eyes were indeed too narrow and I was wrong about him before.
That Thunderstruck Drum that he gifted me was really useful.
When rabbits hear it, they all get so scared and would run away.
- Let me try it... - Okay...
Try it...
Lighter!
That's so painful.
Yuan Ji, why are you in a rush?
Don't mention it. The wedding of Water Deity and Night Deity is looming.
Aren't I rushing to deliver to Heavenly Emperor the seating arrangement
of the different immortals within Cloud Nine Palace.
He gave you such an important task?
Looks like this older brother of mine really trusts you.
Yuan Ji, your days of achieving great success
will be happening soon.
The relationship between the different immortals are complex to begin with.
There are some immortals that mustn't be placed together.
If the seats are inappropriately arranged,
I fear that one day,
they would all bear grudges against me.
This clearly is a hot-hand task.
Why don't you give me some suggestion?
I have a great idea. How about we switch tasks?
You host the wedding in my stead,
because I can't watch my Baby Phoenix
forever lose the love of his life.
Elder Moon,
who told Heavenly Emperor to personally choose you to do it?
Only you can do such a task.
Do good in hosting it.
Not one can be depended on.

Your Highness, you're back. Is Immortal Jin Mi doing well?
Quite well.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor had someone deliver it here.
He said that this cup can convert water to tea.
His Majesty said that you had always loved drinking tea.
Hence, you're able to turn the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal.
This cup is indeed very suitable with you.
He especially granted it to you as a wedding gift.
Father Emperor, your fatherly love has come too late.
What's ironic is when I was still sincere and truthful,
I was unable to obtain anything.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor still gives you much importance.
He only noticed that I look more like him,
but I'm still just a stain of his womanizing ways.
In his heart, there is always a more perfect son than me,
Xu Feng. A man with magnanimous heart,
upright and aboveboard. He doesn't need any scheming or crafty plots
and can easily win the praises of the other immortals.
As a man, he also envies him.
But as a father,
he loves Xu Feng more.
Your Highness, do you want to reconsider it?
No need.
How can I waste all the planning and preparations that we've done for these past 3 years?
Inform the Bird Tribe and the Three Directions Heavenly Army.
Yes.
[Xuanji Palace]
Your Highness, our spy has reported that the Three Directions Heavenly Army has been secretly gathering. There are also strange movements in the Bird Tribe.
It seems as if they're preparing for a grand event.
Looks like, Run Yu has made a pillow of his spear and just waiting for daybreak (set for battle).
Your Highness, should we be doing anything?
Let me think about it.
Jin Mi.
This is not bad.
That's right. Tough but pliable.
Shiny but not slippery. If you like it,
I'll give a few to you.
What I mean is your poem is not bad.
Not going to write love quotes or poems,
One ordinary square handkerchief to deliver you my yearning.
Once you've received my heart, look at it upside down,
There are threads whether horizontally or vertically.
Who can understand these thoughts?
It's quite direct.
I just don't know who you're thinking.
Looks like I didn't write it obvious enough.
Not enough.
Not only handkerchiefs have threads.
If you hold this paper, direct it to the sun, and look at it,
you'll also see threads both horizontally and vertically.
Too bad, I'm giving it to you earlier, but you didn't want it.
We haven't seen each other for 3 years.
I thought...you would still be refusing to see me.
After not seeing for 3 years, I've thought about a lot of things.
I still believe...
...that Father wasn't killed by you.
The matter about Water Deity is indeed connected with me.
But...
Can you not marry Run Yu?
I'll slowly explain to you next time about Deity's matter.
My marriage agreement with Night Deity is father's wish
and Heavenly Emperor's order. How can I disobey that?
If I cancel the marriage, Heavenly Emperor will surely punish you.
Your future will be jeopardized. I'm unable to bear such a responsibility.
No matter what, I won't let you marry him.
Fine strands of black hair, string of love. (both have the same pin yin, just different intonations)
Now, I fear that there's no chance for us.
I'm giving you these fine strands of hair.
Chatting and giving you these strands of hair as if entrusting you my love.
Hope that your heart is same as mine.
Don't worry. I have my ways.
It's just that the next time we'll see each other is 3 days from now during your wedding.
Endure it for a while first.
He who governs by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star,
which stays in its place while all the other stars turn towards it.
The mighty dragon shows remorse for obstinately clinging to its course. Getting close to fawning subjects and distancing from virtuous ones
is the fault of a ruler.
The Heavenly Emperor is immoral. The north star loses its morals and luster.
What then must we do?
Light the right path, keep away from the wrong one. Bring order out of chaos.
One can choose another wise ruler to replace him.
The son mobilizes his father's army. Only knowing to push forward and not retreating
is Run Yu's mistake.
Your Highness, where should we go from here?
Clean up the mountains and rivers. Help the distressed six realms.
Fight with one's back against the river. Charge forward to the enemy's den.
Use the kun to counter qian. Obtain the first qian first. (The 8 trigram: qian, dui, li, zhen, xun, kan, gen, kun)
The top is 'li' and the bottom is 'kan. Restrict the North Gates in the middle.
Use 'gen' to change 'dui'. And then set the western path.
Let the 'emperor star guard' the north star. Let 'flirting star' break alkaid. (the star names here on are a mix of fortune stars and real star/constellation)
The 'finance star' will dissolve megrez.
The Heavenly Realm is already critically ill.
Rather than cutting a flesh to cure a boil, why not just take away the firewood from under the cauldron?
Endure a moment of pain.
Reform and innovate is going with the heaven's will.
Every time there is change in power, it will incite foul wind of rain and blood.
I can't bear to see the world get plunged into misery and suffering.
Even if we are to move against the momentum, we must hold on until the end.
Your Majesty, our chance of winning isn't that high.
How come he insists on pushing forward despite having no chance of winning?
It's almost zero.
Since that's the case, why must Your Highness still employ such a dangerous move?
Buried moon.
Buried moon?
The constellation behind the bright moon. It can't be manipulated,
but can destroy heaven and earth.
In this gambling for heaven and earth, I can only bet it all.
What chip does he still have in his hand?
[Xuanji Palace]
Mi'er loves drinking osmanthus wine. I made some recently.
You have arrived just in time. This jar here is just right to be drank tonight.
I won't be courteous then.
Older brother, do you still remember that it was you who led me to drink my first wine?
Come! Come!
Hurry up!
- What is this? - This is wine.
- I want to drink it. - You're still too little. You can't drink.
I want to drink it.
Just drink a little then.
Here, drink it.
Does it taste good?
Yes.
- Give it to me! - No, I won't!
- Give it to me! - I won't!
When we were little, I was your bum beetle.
When we grew up, we fought battles together, shoulder to shoulder.
Those days were really so carefree and without worries.
The wonderful memories for you...
...might be nightmares for me.
