Ashes of Love
Episode 39
Make me another Soul Destroying Arrow.
I will then completely cure your Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms and give you back your freedom.
You can then go look for you Princess Biancheng and continue your past love.
Is that okay?
You don't believe me?
I have already transferred you my lifetime of cultivation.
Now that you have the Pure Glass Fire as a blessing, you must revive the glory of the Bird Tribe.
Help my son Xu Feng ascend to the heavenly emperor throne.
I understand.
I'm entrusting you Xu Feng and the Bird Tribe then.
Don't disappoint me.
Your Highness Night Deity employed such a wise move.
No matter how I play this game,
I will never win anymore.
Elder, you're admitting defeat then?
Even if I struggle
and able to last for a moment more, the result will not change.
I admit defeat.
Being able to play with a great player like you
is my honor.
What did you say? The food storage of the Bird Tribe is almost empty?
Since the Flower Realm cutoff our food supply last time,
the relationship between us and the Flower Realm has not been good.
Now, although the Flower Realm is continuously supplying us grains, the amount has not been the same as before.
There are no excess food to fill up the warehouses.
Why didn't you report such an important matter to me earlier?
Elder Yin Que seeks an audience!
- Let him in. - Yes!
Leave first.
Yes.
Greetings, Tribe Chief.
Don't know if tribe chief has heard about
the recent food calamity and starvation incidents in our tribe?
What do you mean? As the head of the Bird Tribe,
of course, I know about important matters like that.
That's good.
I was worried that Tribe Chief was hanging around the Heavenly Realm all day
and have long forgotten us, your tribe members.
Since Tribe Chief already knew about this matter,
why then are you not doing anything?
The birds of our tribe are almost dying from hunger.
I will handle this matter.
In the past, the deposed Empress personally chose you to be the Tribe Chief
and helped you manage the affairs of the tribe.
This caused the Bird Tribe to flourish and prosper.
But now, the deposed Empress has lost her power.
We, the elders, are worried if you are still able to bear such an important duty
and ensure that the Bird Tribe is thoroughly taken care of.
Within 3 days, I will appropriately settle the food calamity.
I will prove that I got the position of the Tribe Chief based on my abilities.
I look forward to it then.
Wait. Don't you have any other thing to report?
May I ask what other thing you're referring to?
Of course, it's the matter of you going to the Demon Realm and meeting with Demon King.
For a small matter of meeting up with an old friend to reminisce, I still need to report it to you?
Tribe Chief, if you have such idle time, why don't you handle the food calamity first?
Xu Feng commands the Five Directions Heavenly Army
and controls the gates of the Heavenly Realm. He bears such important duty.
However, he has been acting perversely and being rebellious. I'm very worried.
I think that these duties should be temporarily transferred to you.
Sui He of Bird Tribe reports. The members of my Bird Tribe has always relied on the flower grains for food.
Although the Flower Realm has resumed supplying us food, the long years of supply cut off
has caused our food warehouses to slowly empty.
Now, the lives of the creatures in Bird Tribe is worrisome.
Hence, I earnestly ask the Heavenly Realm to open your food warehouse to give us relief,
so as to solve this urgent need of the Bird Tribe. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to decide on this.
Tribe Chief.
How did it go? Are there any news from Heavenly Realm?
None.
No, I must personally go to the Heavenly Realm and borrow some food supply from Heavenly Emperor.
But Elder Yin Que and the other elders
are all waiting for Tribe Chief in the main hall for a meeting.
It might be inappropriate for you to leave now.
Each of them are impatiently waiting for me to embarrass myself.
How can it be that easy?
Yin Que, let me first let you pay for going to the Demon Realm.
- The Tribe Chief is here! - What should we do? Indeed.
The 3 days deadline has come. May I ask Tribe Chief if you have come up with any idea
to resolve the current food calamity?
I've already informed the Heavenly Realm about this, but they are refusing to release any food until now.
I fear that it has something to do with Elder Yin Que.
The Bird Tribe asked for food relief. The Heavenly Realm is refusing to lend us any.
What does that got to do with Elder Yin Que?
A few days ago, Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm to meet up with Demon King.
This matter has reached the ears of Heavenly Emperor, and he is very unhappy about it.
He felt that our Bird Tribe has developed intentions to revolt.
If not because I clarified with Heavenly Emperor that our tribe is sincerely loyal to them,
I fear that he might have sent an army already to suppress us.
This...
I never thought that going to the Demon Realm to reminisce with Demon King about old times
would lead to this kind of problem.
If Heavenly Emperor really refused to borrow us food because of that matter,
I'm willing to accompany Tribe Chief to make clarifications right in front of Heavenly Emperor,
so as to remove his doubts about our tribe, lend us food as soon as possible,
and solve this urgent crisis of our Bird Tribe.
What Elder Yin Que said is so correct. Why don't you and Elder Yin Que
go to the Heavenly Realm together and immediately resolve this problem?
Elder Yin Que, do you have any evidence to prove that you and Demon King are not colluding?
Since the Heavenly Realm didn't send an army,
it then represents that they have no evidence
to prove that I'm colluding with the Demon Realm.
Because you're unable to borrow us any food,
are you trying to make me the scapegoat?
For thousands of years, I bent myself to the task of governing the Bird Tribe and spared no effort
causing the tribe to continuously prosper.
Now that the Bird Tribe is in trouble, I've exhausted all effort.
But just because of Elder Yin Que's improper actions,
there is now animosity between us and the Heavenly Royal Family.
I want to ask Elder Yin Que then. Can the food supply of Bird Tribe
be borrowed from the Demon Realm?
Tribe Chief, Elder Yin Que,
there's no use for you two to keep arguing here.
The urgent thing to be done now is for you two to quickly go to Heavenly Realm and express our Bird Tribe's loyalty.
Immediately borrow us some food.
His Highness Night Deity is here!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Greetings, Your Highness Night Deity.
Eldest Highness.
I think Your Highness Night Deity came today
not only to play chess with me, right?
I heard that elder has recently secretly meet up with Demon King. May I know what you two have discussed?
So, it's about this matter.
Demon King and I just reminisced on our past
and had some chats. We didn't discuss anything
It's impossible to know what you two really talked about,
but this matter has been reported to the Heavenly Court. It then can't be helped for some doubts
to develop from it.
If Heavenly Emperor really misunderstand anything, I fear that it won't be good for the Bird Tribe.
Heavenly Emperor ordered me to investigate this matter.
Elderly Yin Que, how do you think I should answer?
I am slow-witted. May I ask what you mean by that?
I know
that these past years, the Heavenly Realm has been controlling the Bird Tribe too much.
But when the Arowana Tribe got annihilated,
the deposed Empress has given the abundant lands of Taihu to your tribe.
For thousands of years, the Bird Tribe has flourished and prospered too
compared to the past. It should learn to be contented.
Your Highness Night Deity, what really is it that you want to say?
Just be direct with me. I never liked beating around the bush.
Since you don't like beating around the bush, I will be frank then.
I came today to ask you a favor.
I fear that a Bird Tribe elder like me who holds no power
can't be of any help.
If the Bird Tribe learns
that this top secret Bird Tribe Military Defense Layout
was leaked by you, you think
it's still possible for you to have a footing here in the Bird Tribe in the future?
Today, I'm here as a special envoy from the Heavenly Realm
and was ordered by Heavenly Emperor to deliver food supply here,
so as to resolve the starvation crisis of the Bird Tribe.
Thank you Your Highness for especially coming to deliver us food. Me and the rest of the tribe are very grateful.
There is another important matter that I came here to resolve today.
May I ask what other matters does Your Highness need to resolve? I am willing to help you.
Not long ago, Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm without permission
to meet up with Demon King.
I'm sure that everyone knows about it already, right?
Elder Yin Que secretly met with Demon King and is harboring evil intentions.
If Your Highness Night Deity wants to punish him, I surely will cooperate with you.
But the Bird Tribe has always been loyal to the Heavenly Realm, hope Your Highness won't doubt it.
Tribe Chief Sui He, you seem to be too anxious to sentence Elder Yin Que for committing a crime.
Princess Sui He once requested the Heavenly Realm to send out an army.
She wants us to send the Heavenly Army to Yimiao Region and bring order to the chaos,
but Heavenly Emperor didn't believe that the Bird Tribe will bear disloyal intentions.
He then ordered me to investigate this matter.
I came today to announce the result of the investigation.
Elder Yin Que went to the Demon Realm for purely private reasons.
Everyone, don't let this matter affect the relationship between us.
So, it wasn't the Heavenly Emperor who wants to suppress the Bird Tribe.
It was you who requested an army from Heavenly Emperor to deal with Yin Que.
I only made such a suggestion that day out of a moment of desperation.
Indeed. Good thing, it didn't lead to any major mistake.
But about the Bird Tribe's food warehouse being empty and causing starvation, you didn't do anything.
You are instead focused on trying to punish Elder Yin Que here.
Princess Sui He, don't you have the order reversed?
When did I disregard the food supply problem of the Bird Tribe?
Three days ago, I've already written a request to the Heavenly Court asking for some food relief.
The Heavenly Court never received any memorials from you.
How is that possible?
If not because Elder Yin Que personally went to Heavenly Court yesterday to inform us about this matter,
don't know when we will now about it.
Sui He, you are not qualified to be the chief of the Bird Tribe.
That's right. You're not suitable.
That's right! You'r not fit to be one!
Princess Sui He, just like what the different elders are saying,
to eliminate your opponents and suppress Elder Yin Que,
you have disregarded the welfare of your tribesmen.
This caused His Majesty Heavenly Emperor to be utterly disappointed in you.
His Majesty has already given the order for me to fully handle this matter.
But I feel that
I should consult with the different elders first before making a decision.
Eldest Highness currently is highly trusted by Heavenly Emperor.
We all don't doubt it.
How do you think we should handle this matter?
I think that Princess Sui He now
is not in the mood to govern the Bird Tribe.
Why not hand it to someone talented to assist her,
who will temporarily be in-charge of the tribe's affairs?
But this is just my suggestion.
The final decision will depend on you, the elders.
Elder Yin Que went to the Heavenly Realm to get us food relief.
He has made a huge contribution to the Bird Tribe. And, he has always cared for the Bird Tribe.
He surely will bring blessing to our tribe. I nominate him to temporarily handle the tribe's affairs.
We all agree to nominate Elder Yin Que
to temporarily manage the tribe's affairs.
Your Highness Night Deity, take care.
Elder Yin Que,
from now on, this Bird Tribe will be under your care.
I fully accept losing that game.
Since I now know your methods,
how can I dare have anymore rebellious intent?
That's good then.
I fear that the food warehouse of Bird Tribe will be left empty for 2 days.
Sui He will surely ask help from the Heavenly Realm because of this.
And her memorial will disappear without a trace.
At this time, I wish that elder can personally stand out to borrow food.
I will then use that as an opportunity to help you take over the power over the Bird Tribe.
Looks like I have no choice but to agree.
As long as you can lead the Bird Tribe to support me,
you will be your tribe's chief one day.
You can be at ease and do your thing.
Tribe Chief?
Who then will Eldest Highness be in the future?
Your Highness Night Deity employed such a wise move.
No matter how I play this game, I will never win anymore.
Yin Que, so you were not colluding with Demon King,
but with Run Yu.
Everything that I'm doing is for the future of Bird Tribe.
Unlike you, who's doing it for personal reasons.
Don't worry. I will assist you well
and handle all the affairs of the tribe with full power.
- Let's go. - We finally were able to catch it. - That's right. - Look at this.
Let me tell you that this one needs 7 years of spiritual energy.
Mu Qi, no matter where you go, I surely will find you.
Hurry and run!
Is Mu Ci creating another Soul Destroying Arrow?
Is he going to hurt Jin Mi again?
Greetings, Princess Sui He.
Go to the Heavenly Realm right now and kill Run Yu for me.
Night Deity is the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
So what?
He ruined everything that I spent thousands of years of effort to create.
I must take his life!
Night Diety's spiritual powers are strong.
I've used up too much spiritual powers to create the Soul Destroying Arrow.
Even with the arrow,
I would not be able to defeat him.
I will go with you.
If stepmother learns how much you're missing her,
she would be glad.
Why have you come?
I heard that the authority of the Bird Tribe has been handed to Elder Yin Que.
I think all of this is connected to Your First Highness.
Looks like you've begun taking action.
I just wanted to fulfill Mother's wish.
But for the sake of this wish, stepmother
made a lot of mistakes.
What are you trying to say?
I just hope that Your First Highness won't follow in her footsteps.
You'll end up making too many mistakes and forgetting your initial intention.
On the path, mistakes can't be made.
If I take one wrong step, the entire game will collapse.
I can't afford to lose anymore.
But when you took up this path,
did you ever consider Jin Mi's feelings? She's innocent.
She doesn't deserve to be used and to be hurt by you.

Xuanji Palace
Xuanji Palace?
- It went into Xuanji Palace? - Yes. - Come with me to check it out.
Little Fish Immortal?
Little Fish Immortal, are you here?
Fine then. Having one's life saved is a debt that's impossible to pay back.
I came especially to visit you today, but I didn't see you.
I'll leave this here.
Even if Run Yu isn't here,
you delivered yourself to me. This is great.
This is a rare opportunity. Use the Soul Destroying Arrow to kill her.
This woody hawksbeard tassel is a very nutritious herb.
It can help you recover your spiritual powers soon.
Hope this woody hawksbeard tassel can nurse your injury.
I hope it can be of help to you!
Let's be an ordinary couple in the mortal realm.
I already said that if you hurt Jin Mi again, you'll become my enemy.
Don't act against your conscience. I know you're not that kind of person.
Hurry and make your move.
Your Highness.
Jin Mi!
- Take care of Jin Mi. - Yes!
Your Highness. Turns out you still care about me.
Jin Mi was just hurt by a fire spell.
Why did you do that?
What other reason could it be?
Your heart only has her, yet she went to deliver Night Deity some medicine. I couldn't contain my anger.
Mi'er.
- What happened? - Somebody was trying to hurt Immortal Jin Mi just now.
Luckily, His Second Highness made it in time.
- Where is that person? - He's chasing her down.
Hurry and help Xu Feng. I will protect Jin Mi.
Sounds good.
Mi'er.
Little Fish Immortal.
What just happened?
I especially came to bring you supplements.
Just as I was about to leave, for some unknown reason,
I was knocked onto the floor.
Then, I can't remember what happened.
Did you save me, Little Fish Immortal?
I did not save you.
It was Xu Feng.
Since this incident happened in Xuanji Palace, was I the target?
But when you took up this path,
did you ever consider Jin Mi's feelings?
She's innocent.
She doesn't deserve to be used
and to be hurt by you.
It's all my fault.
I promise to you
that in the future, you won't receive any hurt.
Thank you, Little Fish Immortal. I'm fine now.
Your Highness, I had no intentions of hurting her.
It's all Qi Yuan's doing. He's the one who wanted to kill Jin Mi in the mortal realm.
I know. He's Princess Biancheng's friend.
I promised Liu Ying that I won't kill him.
But he's refused to mend his ways.
I'm sure he was trying to kill her again today. We cannot leave this person around.
Liu Ying said that he's a kind person. I trust her.
Thank you, Brother Phoenix.
Mu Ci.
Where's Jin Mi? Is she okay?
Jin Mi is fine. He isn't after Jin Mi.
Brother Phoenix, Mu Ci has been planted with the Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms.
It needs to be fed regularly.
I'm afraid somebody is manipulating Mu Ci with this.
He was forced to do all of this.
He had no other choice.
Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms?
This is a forbidden spell. Was my mother behind this?
Aunt had saved his life.
It was his own choice to work for Aunt.
Now, Aunt is still in jail,
but you all are trying to disconnect yourselves from her. What ungrateful people.
Sui He!
My mother is now imprisoned.
She has received her punishment.
I hope that you will not blame her anymore.
Brother Phoenix, if you are willing to forgive Mu Ci, I have no other requests.
My only request is to take Mu Ci back with me,
to never leave him again.
I am willing to pay for Mu Ci's sins.
From now on, no matter for what reason, if you dare hurt Jin Mi again,
I will not be lenient with you.
I will fulfill my promise in the mortal world that if you are in danger, I surely will save you.
But don't you test my patience.
I want to see Jin Mi.
Mi'er is already resting. She's fine.
I heard that it was you who helped her today. I'm thanking you in her behalf.
Did you catch the perpetrator?
It's Sui He having a fit and harmed Jin Mi.
Sui He?
This matter is quite grave. Why don't we inform Father Emperor immediately?
No need. Sui He...
Sui He did it because of me. I will resolve this matter with her.
Let me see her for even a bit!
Xu Feng, because of you
Heavenly Empress and Sui He successively attacked Jin Mi.
Will you only stop once she's dead?
I've already asked Kuang Lu to invite Water Deity to fetch Jin Mi. Please go back.
Xu Feng, I did so much for you.
Now, even my power got delegated to someone else.
I lost everything.
But your heart...still only have that Jin Mi.
Why?
Xu Feng...
Jin Mi...
Hope to have a discussion with Deity today
at zi hour (11 pm to 11 am) in your manor. It's about Jin Mi. Hope to see you.
Up to how long will you keep grabbing my hand?
Forever.
You're a distinguished princess of the Demon Realm. Why must you waste your time with a person like me?
Because you're worth it.
I...didn't hurt your friend.
Hence, I will not let you look down on me.
My Mu Ci has finally returned.
Where did you go these past days? Why did you create a Soul Destroying Arrow again?
I initially planned to kill Jin Mi in exchange for asking Heavenly Empress to cure my Corpse-Dissolving Heavenly Silkworms.
But at the last moment,
I suddenly felt that...dying...
...is way better than seeing you get disappointed at me. I...
Don't worry. I surely will find a way to cure you.
Father.
Mi'er. Here, drink your medicine while it's hot.
Okay.
Eat some sugar cubes to remove the bitter taste.
Mi'er, you mustn't make me worry anymore.
You've gotten hurt in a span of just 2 to 3 days.
This Sui He is so similar with his Auntie.
We must report this matter to Heavenly Emperor.
Sui He loves Phoenix, so it's understandable for her to hate me.
Who then is the person that you love?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
My heart is always empty. I also don't know why.
Father, what do you think I should do?
I know that you're sensible. You're not willing to put me and everyone in a difficult position.
In the past, I once thought too
to make the right choice in your behalf.
But with everything that recently happened,
it made me remember your mother.
And remember all those past events.
I finally understood
why Zi Fen concealed your identity and hid you in the Water Mirror.
Now, you are indeed suffering because of love.
I won't marry anyone for a lifetime then and just stay by your side. This way, I won't have any problems.
Silly child.
Escaping won't do any good. Now that you're back by my side,
just be at ease and boldly choose.
No matter if it's Fire Deity or Night Deity, I support you,
as long as you can sincerely be blissful.
Thank you, Father.
