Ashes of Love
Episode 43
When we were little, I'm your bum beetle.
When we grew up, we fought side by side.
Those days were really so carefree and without worries.
Memories that were wonderful to you,
might be...just nightmares for me.
- Xu'er! Xu'er! - Your Highness!
What's wrong? Get up. Don't cry anymore...
What did you do?
I...just didn't want the fierce fire to hurt little brother.
Mother Empress! Mother Empress!
- Come over here! - Mother Empress!
Mother Empress, I surely will protect little brother well from now on. I won't hurt him.
Mother Empress, I beg you.
Let me out, Mother Empress!
Mother Empress! Mother Empress, let me out!
Mother Empress, let me out!
Since that day, I learned that
I must be very cautious while roaming around here in Heavenly Realm.
Sorry.
Tomorrow is my wedding day with Jin Mi. You come here this late at night to my Xuanji Palace
not really to reminisce with me, right?
Promise me. Tomorrow,
don't do something that you will eventually regret.
I can yield everything that you want to you.
Jin Mi.
You know that I'm not talking about Jin Mi.
Xu Feng, I have nothing anymore.
I only have Jin Mi left.
Since we're little, I can yield everything to you.
But this time, I'm not letting go.
Must you use this method?
Are you not going to be grateful for your upbringing? Not consider any sibling affection?
If I don't do this, how can I make the person I care about stay by my side?
Hence, you are willing to lose everything in exchange for it.
Either you get everything, or lose everything.
I've been enduring for so long.
You know that I won't just sit by and watch.
May Second Highness make sure to attend my wedding with Jin Mi tomorrow.
We shared a deep sibling relationship.
I really don't want to see us walking towards that step.
I'll say it one last time.
Other than Jin Mi, you can take away anything.
Thank you.
But, I don't need your charity.
Good wine. Why did Night Deity ask to see me on the night of your wedding?
Yan You,
are you willing to go with me down that path tomorrow?
Let's fulfill mother's wish together.
Looks like you insist on walking down a no retreat path. Forgive me for refusing to accompany you.
Are you not willing to accompany me because you're afraid that I'll fail?
In this world, there's nothing that I fear.
Our hearts, at the bottom of it all,
fear the same thing.
We are afraid of getting abandoned.
Just to not get abandoned, I chose before to be obedient and submissive,
while you chose to be cynical.
But I know that in your heart, you're not that kind of person.
You face this world with banters and jokes
because you couldn't dare to have extravagant hopes.
You are afraid...that even if you give it your best,
even if you strive hard to obtain it, you'll end up disappointed.
Stop pretending to know me so well.
I came today to tell you
that I'm not attending your wedding tomorrow.
I'm not accompany you forward because we have different standards
and I don't agree with your method.
You kept assuming that you have seen through me,
that you have seen through everything.
Actually, the thing that you can't see through the most is yourself.
If anything bad happens tomorrow, I'll take good care of Li'er.
[Memorial Tablet of Water Deity Luo Lin]
Father.
While at the mortal world, you promised to marry me. Are you still willing now?
Of course, I'm willing.
Move! Move!
Xu Feng!
Sigh, this Flower Realm of ours
didn't have such a huge joyous celebration for tens of thousands of years already.
I'm really a bit not used to it.
We finally didn't fail the important task that Past Mistress entrusted us with.
The pair
isn't a good match. Too bad...
What are you sighing about?
You are now the Water Deity. How could you still kneel to us?
Xiao Tao Tao is just being grateful for your care.
Jin Mi, quickly get up.
Because of our old grudge with the Heavenly Realm, it's inconvenient for us to send you off.
Moon Immortal is the biological brother of Heavenly Emperor and he personally came to fetch you and will host the wedding.
It shows how much importance the Heavenly Realm is giving you.
Head Fragrance Chief, all Fragrance Chiefs,
thank you for shielding me from the wind and rain these past so many years
and taking care of me. I was insensible before.
As long as you are safe and happy, we are at ease.
If that Night Deity treats you badly,
or if you are maltreated there, just come back and live here.
Even if you are not mad about something, still come back often. I'll make you some roasted rabbit.
You must take good care of yourself.
It's almost time. Quickly change your clothes now.
You surely will be very beautiful while wearing your wedding dress.
Then, I'll go in now.
Little Jin Mi...
Baby Phoenix already gave you his Greater Truth Phoenix Feather.
Will you really not regret this?
Fox Immortal, please return this to Phoenix in my behalf.
Little Jin Mi, how could you like the new and hate the old,
change your affection and shift one's love, be ungrateful, be a red apricot tree leaning over the garden wall (be unfaithful), and abandon your chaff man?
How will depressed Baby Phoenix face all these?
Only hearing the laughs of the new couple, and not hearing the cry of the past lover.
The auspicious time has arrived! May the new couple enter the hall!
♫ My left hand holds the ground, my right hand holds the sky. ♫
♫ Lightning bolts erupt out of my palm print and go in ten directions. ♫
♫ I quickly turn time into years. ♫
♫ In three thousand lifetimes, I’ve seen it all. ♫
♫ My left hand picks flowers, my right hand wields a sword. ♫
♫ Between my brows, an entire ten thousand years’ of snow has fallen. ♫
♫ One teardrop. ♫
Where's Xu Feng? How come he's not here?
The wedding of Night Deity and Water Deity is a grand event here in Heavenly Realm.
I'm sure that a crowd have gathered and blocked the gates of Cloud Nine Palace.
My nephew Xu Feng must have gotten stuck within the traffic on the path towards here.
Why don't we wait for a little while more?
We can't miss the auspicious time.
No need to care about him. Let's start.
Father Emperor, you and I not only have father and son affection for you gave me life and raised me,
not only have a teacher-student relationship for you taught and disciplined me,
but more so, I owe you a debt of gratitude for granting me this marriage.
I especially offer you this congealed starlight dew to express my heart.
It's rare that you're this filial.
Bowing Ceremony!
Bow to Firmament and Earth!
Wait!
Those written in opera scripts are indeed true.
The destined son of god surely must come to steal the bride.

Greetings, Father Emperor.
Xu Feng, what are you doing?
You still didn't listen to my urge. You already lost.
If you still obstinately insist on your wrong ways, you'll only stain Cloud Nine Palace
with the blood of innocent soldiers.
Stop it now. I'll help you obtain Father Emperor's forgiveness.
Eldest Highness, our men got ambushed by Fire Deity.
Lord Liaoyuan, you be the one to say it. What's happening outside?
Your Majesty, Night Deity's 100,000 strong army were lying in wait around Cloud Nine Palace.
When the agreed time arrives, the drum as the signal, they will charge towards Cloud Nine Palace.
Is everything he said true?
Your Three Directions Heavenly Army have all been disarmed by me.
Your Majesty, I come to protect you.
Run Yu, I'm giving you a chance to defend yourself. What do you want to say?
Nothing else. The mantis stalks the cicada,
unaware of the oriole behind. The victor becomes the king, while the loser is the bandit. I lost the chess game.
You have always been smarter than me.
Your achievements and strategies are all above me. I can't understand why you chose to walk down this no retreat path.
My conscience is clear.
Run Yu, I have placed so much hopes on you, but I never thought that
you are this kind of disloyal and unfaithful rebel!
While all the immortals are here, the evidence is irrefutable. If I don't punish a rebel like you,
how could I explain this to the six realms?!
Father Emperor, although Run Yu committed a big mistake,
but luckily, it didn't progress to a disaster yet. May Father Emperor be generous and forgive older brother.
No need to say more. Heavenly Soldiers, listen to my command!
Drag this disloyal and unfaithful beast to Bimbisara Prison!
For a disloyal, unfaithful, heartless, and unfilial person like you,
what right do you have to request others to be loyal, faithful, kind, and filial to you?
Just to ascend to the throne, Father Emperor
killed your own brother, deserted Flower Deity,
married an evil woman, insulted my mother, and abandoned your son.
And my brother is bent on stealing my wife.
People would always say that the heaven is the best place in this world.
But they don't know that this place is actually the dirtiest
and most cruel hypocritical place!
Shut up!
Father Emperor.
Tell me, what did you let me drink earlier?
Just a bit of baleful fragrant ash that can weaken you for 4 hours.
You... Run Yu, I know that you've always been a deep person.
But I didn't expect that you really can do a ruthless and vicious thing like this!
Ruthless and vicious? When Heavenly Emperor killed his older brother before,
and then tolerated Heavenly Empress to kill Flower Deity, to insult and murder my mother,
and to massacre my Arowana Clan, was he not ruthless and vicious too?!
The matter today is just a manifestation of Heaven's Laws
and the cycle of karma.
For everything that I did,
I don't ask to be guiltless to the heaven and earth when I lift my head as I walk,
but I ask that my heart be a pure land,
and not disappoint my mother for giving birth to me.
Debt of gratitude for giving me life and raising me.
Even if you have hatred in your heart, Father Emperor also gave you life and raised you!
The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit. Why must I fear death?
Aren't you all still going to drag Night Deity away?
All you rebels, aren't you afraid of Heaven's retribution?!
Heavenly Emperor deposed the past Empress and committed immoral acts. Now,
His Highness Night Deity dared to risk being condemned by the six realm
to expose all of Heavenly Emperor's crime. This is the fortune of Heavenly Realm.
Now is the time for Heavenly Realm to break from the old and to establish a new era.
We all are willing to support His Highness Night Deity to inherit the emperor's throne.
Clear the chaos here in the Heavenly Realm and reestablish its mighty name!
We all are willing to loyally serve Your Highness Night Deity!
You all...dared to turn your back and abandon me?!
Heavenly Emperor and the deposed Empress were tyrannical and heartless. Deities and immortals in the heaven are full of grudges and hatred.
Your Highness Fire Deity, don't you still understand?
Yin Que, you dared to collude with a villain like Night Deity? Today, I'm going to clean up our tribe!
Men! Arrest Fire Deity and everyone else!
Okay. Watch Heavenly Emperor well.
Lord Liaoyuan!
I...
...can't protect you anymore.
Xu Feng, if there's a next life,
I wish that there will only be me and no you.
Jin Mi...
Save me...
Jin Mi, save me...
Jin Mi...
Xu Feng!
Why?
- Why? - You know it!
It's you who killed Father!
It's you who killed Auntie Lin Xiu!
Xu Feng!
Have you ever...
...loved me?
Never did.
Xu Feng!
You indeed placed my hair where your internal pellet of elite energy is located.
Jin Mi, I'm going to kill you!
Love...what really is it?
The eldest son is 9 years old and has a clear-cut complexion.
The autumn waters are his soul and jade are his bones.
The younger son is five years old, with an imposing presence.
They can turn heads in a hall full of guests.
♫ Unwilling to take part in something improper, how could I predict things would turn out against my wishes? ♫
♫ The flower in center of my heart has withered, time cannot turn itself back. ♫
So, a bird with black feathers isn't only a crow or a magpie. It can also be a burnt phoenix.
Have you thought about changing to another kind of life?
For example...be a normal lady.
Or...be Queen Yi.
I only have one Greater Truth Phoenix Feather and I gave it to you. Don't you still understand my feelings?
Have you never heard that a person who destroys the marriage fate of others will go to hell? Are you not afraid?
I'm already a deity. So what if I go to hell?
In this world, is there anything that I fear?
If there is indeed one thing that I'm afraid of, then that's your heart.
This time...you're finally my ugly wife.

you are really my good son.

Mi'er.

I can't lose him! Let me out! Let me out!

Why? Why did you kill him?
I love him so much, yet you killed him.
Why?

Your Majesty, Water Deity has been unconscious for half a year.
She wouldn't wake up, no matter what we do. Will she...
...forever sleep like this?
No, she won't. She surely will wake up.
She definitely will return to my side.
Your Majesty, among the millions of Heavenly Soldiers,
I've chosen 108 Heavenly Generals to guard outside this palace.
It's just that the position of the Court Commanding General is very important.
Hope Your Majesty can personally decide on it.
What do you think of Po Jun?
Po Jun?
Your Majesty, Po Jun was personally trained by Fire Deity.
The position of Court Commanding General has 30,000 men under him.
He will be personally guarding you.
If he holds any disloyalty, it will lead to a calamity in one armpit. (danger in one's doorstep)
It's very hard to defend against that.
Your Majesty, you must reconsider this.
Po Jun is an upright and loyal person.
If he agrees, he will never be disloyal.
If he has rebellious intent, he will not agree.
Your Majesty, you have extensive bearing, but—
Six months ago,
Heavenly Realm shook and suffered a great blow.
Currently, hundreds of things await to be done and is the time to use able people.
I want to proclaim to all immortals and to the whole six realms
that the current Heavenly Realm will be taking on a complete new look.
This current Heavenly Emperor won't make a fuss in the past of the people he uses.
He only cares about their virtues and skills.
It's not important if Po Jun will agree to it or not.
What's important is to spread this message out.
Your Highness, you are just to the world, wise and far-sighted.
I'll go do it now.
Flies in the morning and returns at dusk; moving clouds and rainbows, glamorous pagodas and pavilions.
The gentle wind and drizzle of spring; the mist is like a smoke surrounding the magnificently designed boat.
A lady in the enclosure of here home watches this wonderful scenic changes.
Wei'er! Wei'er!
Quickly tell His Majesty Heavenly Emperor that Immortal Water Deity is awake!
Quickly go!
Deity, please wait for a while.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor's ascension to the throne ceremony has just ended.
The different immortals are still congratulating him and they're currently in a banquet.
In the six months that you were asleep, Heavenly Emperor has been worried about you day and night.
I slept for half a year?
Did you say Water Deity earlier?
Is my father around too?
Deity...you're the current Water Deity.
Did you forget it?
That's right. Father isn't around anymore.
So, all of those were not just a dream.
Then...
...Fire Deity...where is he?
Fire Deity?
There is no more Fire Deity now.
Deity, you have not yet fully recovered. It's better to not overthink.
Just lie down and rest.
You're the one who killed Father!
It's you who killed Auntie Lin Xiu!
I killed him.
