Ashes of Love
Episode 40
My heart is empty.
I don't know the reason.
Father, what do you think I should do?
Since you have returned to my side,
rest assured and boldly make your decision.
Whether you choose Fire Deity or Night Deity, I will support you,
as long as you sincerely feel happy.
Thank you, father.
You've come.
Lin Xiu!
Luo Lin.
How could this be?
High Immortal!
Your Highness, High Immortal...
What happened?
Fire.
Fire? What fire?
Father.
Father!
Jin Mi.
Father!
- Jin Mi. - Aunt Lin Xiu!
Father!
Father, what happened? Father.
Father! Say something, father!
Jin Mi, listen to me.
Aunt Lin Xiu.
What happened to them?
Father.
- Father! - Jin Mi.
Father.
Aunt Lin Xiu!
- Where are you two going? - Jin Mi.
Father, where are you going?
Jin Mi!
I'm begging you, Phoenix.
Please save them, okay?
- I know, I know. - Father!
- Jin Mi, listen to me! - I'm begging you, save them!
- Jin Mi, listen to me. - Father!
- Jin Mi! It's too late. - Father!
It's too late!
Jin Mi!
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi!
Mi'er.
Thank you, father.
This is so bitter.
Good medicines are always bitter.
Here, have some sugar to offset the bitterness.
Thank you, father.
Father.
Mi'er.
Just now... Just now, I dreamed of Father.
Mi'er, if you want to cry, cry to your heart's content.
The two high immortals were wrongfully killed. They're waiting for you to get a hold of yourself and find the truth.
Jin Mi, no matter what,
I will always be with you.
Mi'er is my future wife.
With me here, you do not need to trouble yourself, Fire Deity.
Fire Deity, you do not need to stay here anymore.
She is already in this state.
Do you really need to compete with me at this time?
You two, please both leave.
- Jin Mi. - I'm begging you two!
Please leave!

Father.
If not because you've put half of your lifetime cultivation
into making this ice weapon,
if not because you wanted to protect me, you wouldn't...

Water Deity has left and his form has disappeared.
The colors of the heaven and earth has changed, grieving for him.
Water Deity was benevolent when he was alive.
He sympathizes with million of living things in this world.
He has helped a lot with his spiritual power throughout his lifetime.
I want to give him a posthumous name, Grand Immortal De Shan. (Virtuous and Kind)
High Immortal Jin Mi is the only daughter of Water Deity.
Based on rules, she has to mourn for 3 years.
Hence, her wedding with Night Deity Run Yu
will be moved to 3 years from now, after her mourning period is over.
On the other hand, Immortal Jin Mi will inherit the position of Water Deity
starting today.
I accept the decree.
Get up.
Jin Mi, please contain your grief.
I promise you that I surely will find out who killed Water Deity.
Fire Deity, no need for you to worry about this matter.
I will investigate who harmed Deity
in behalf of Mi'er.
Child, you have suffered.
Head Fragrance Chief, I've returned to being how I was before.

People say that human shadow doesn't follow the water flow.
Water usually flows east, but human shadow stays behind.
But how come the sky lately has been raining a lot.
yet Father Water Deity has already disappeared.
Father Emperor.
Greetings, Father Emperor.
Water Deity's words were always full of virtue and morality.
I would then frequently mock him as being so childish.
But...I admired him a lot
for being able to do as he preaches. Only him
would dare to say honest words to me.
But now, he's gone.
Did you also come here to investigate the case of Water Deity?
Yes.
You're going to seek justice for Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is my future wife.
Investigating the real murderer in her behalf is my duty.
In these files that the Officer-in-charge of Fragrant Drape Hall submitted,
it was only mentioned that Water Deity died from Pure Glass Fire.
There are no other clues at all. What are your thoughts?
In the whole six realm, there are only 2 people
with extremely high level of cultivation who can use the Pure Glass Fire.
Mother Empress is currently locked up in the Bimbisara Prison. And the other person...
Is Xu Feng.
He also was coincidentally in Luo River Manor that day.
On the outside, it indeed looked like that.
On the outside?
Being at the scene, the flying white letter, Pure Glass Fire,
all are pointing to Xu Feng. But I feel
that aren't all these too direct?
You believe that this wasn't done by Xu Feng?
I believe that my own brother has things that he will do and he won't do.
Then...who do you think it is?
The difficulty lies in clearly knowing that the perpetrator isn't Xu Feng,
but not knowing who really did it.
Water Deity enjoyed high prestige here in the Heavenly Realm and was revered by many.
He didn't really have any enemies.
Father Emperor also read the files and found no other clues. I fear that
it will be very difficult to find the real murderer behind this.
But if these files get publicized,
the other immortals might not be not as discerning as you.
That's right. I know that
Father Emperor has placed great hopes on Xu Feng.
His reputation mustn't get destroyed.
Planning long ahead, I suggest that until we find the real perpetrator,
it's better to seal the files and not publicize them.
Yu'er, I also have placed a lot of hopes on you.
I surely will help share the burden of Father Emperor and my younger brother.
Yu'er, sometimes, you are
too sensible that it's painful to see.
Xu Feng must avoid arousing any suspicion. I am then giving you
full power to handle this matter. Just do as you said.
Yes, Father Emperor.
[Water Mirror]
I also don't know why but after seeing that Uncle Water Deity, I feel so cooled down and calmed.
And he feels like a cordial person.
Jin Mi is my daughter with Zi Fen.
From now on, I will never leave you behind
and let you be alone and lonely.
If I go higher, you'll get thrown out!
I'm not afraid of it!
If I get thrown off, I have father to protect me.
[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.]
It can't be.
It can't be him. It's impossible that it's him.
It can't be.
Fire Deity, Jin Mi has always been close to you. Please help enlighten her.
[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.]
Jin Mi.
I want to pay my respect to the two deities. Can I?
I definitely will capture the perpetrator behind this
to comfort your souls.
How is your investigation going?
No progress at all.
Very strange. At the crime scene where the two deities died,
there are no clues that can be found at all.
Father and Auntie Lin Xiu
were very kind and aloof to worldly affairs when they were alive.
How come they would suffer this kind of tragedy?
I'm the one who brought them harm.
How can you be blamed for this?
No need to condemn yourself.
Let me ask you, within the whole six realm,
who can freely manipulate the Pure Glass Fire?
The Pure Glass Fire is the highest level of magic of the Phoenix Clan.
From what I know, in the past thousands of years, other than me and Mother Empress,
I fear that there won't be a third person who was able to truly master it.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Let me ask you again,
how many people in this whole six realm is strong enough to successively kill
two shangshen like my Father and Auntie Lin Xiu?
Did you find out anything? If there is, you must quickly tell me.
I discovered this letter while cleaning up father's belongings.
How do you explain this letter?
[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.]
Flying white letter?
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.
Other than you, who else is an expert in writing this flying white letter?
You're suspecting me?
I didn't write this letter. Someone is clearly framing me!
Let me ask you then, why were you at the crime scene when Father got killed?
That time, someone from Luo River Manor came saying that Water Deity was inviting me to go there for a chat. I....
We fell into a trap.
Trap?
You don't believe me?
At the moment my father died, his clothes has turned white from getting burnt!
Let me ask you, what kind of fire
can burn his clothes to that degree?
- Pure Glass Fire. - Correct! It's Pure Glass Fire!
Just like you said, only you and Heavenly Empress in this six realm can use the Pure Glass Fire.
But, Heavenly Empress is now in prison!
The person who can use the Pure Glass Fire now...
...is only you. It's you.
It's you who killed my father!
We've known each other for so many years.
Don't you know what kind of person I am?
Moreover, Water Deity is your family.
How could I bear to kill them?
Even if I did kill them,
how could I be stupid to leave a letter and let you suspect me?
Try to think about it well.
Now, I have no way to prove my innocence.
If you truly feel that
i'm the one who killed them,
then use my life to pay for theirs.
I don't want your life!
I just want father to be alive.
I just want father to be alive!
Jin Mi...give me some time.
I surely will bring the murderer to you.
Believe me.
Father...
I only want Father...
I only want Father to be alive!
Father...
Father, don't go.
Father, don't leave me.
Father.
Phoenix, please, don't kill my father.
Father, don't leave me.
Father...
Phoenix, I beg you...
Father. Phoenix, don't kill Father.

Eldest Highness has imposed a new rule
that starting last month, other than the Heavenly Generals of the Eight Directions Heavenly Army, any immortals or shangshen
are not allowed to casually investigate the military documents.
His Majesty approved of it.
Your Highness,
could the murderer be Eldest Highness?
How is that possible? His my older brother.
Regardless of the conflict between us, he won't frame me like this.
Yes, I was muddled.
Eldest Highness has always conducted himself in a just manner. In the whole Heavenly Realm,
all are praising him. He can't do such a thing.
Conduct himself in a just manner. Being praised by everyone.
It's indeed that way.
Run Yu only knows water elemental magic.
Of course, he won't be able to use the Pure Glass Fire.
Moreover, Water Deity is Run Yu's backer.
Run Yu is a sensible person.
He would never kill Water Deity
just to frame me up.
Mother Empress.
Xu'er.
Xu'er, my son, you finally came to see me.
Father Emperor won't allow me to visit you.
How come you've become like this?
If Heavenly Emperor doesn't want you to come,
then don't come again.
Don't anger Heavenly Emperor anymore. I'm fine.
Once you've become the heavenly emperor, I naturally will be able to go out.
Mother Empress, what's mine will be mine.
If it's not mine, what's the use of competing for it?
Silly child. Of course, we must compete.
Mother Empress, did you touch Water Deity?
What about him?
Water Deity and Wind Deity were killed.
Is this connected with you?
That's good then.
It's really you...
It's not important who killed them.
Now, Run Yu has lost power.
Even if he marries Jin Mi,
it will not threaten your heavenly emperor position.
Why not think about how to follow up this victory with a hot pursuit?
Even the prison can't contain your wild ambitions.
You think that doing this is for my own good?
You're just making me look vile and unjust!
Xu Feng, how can you say such things?
A person who does great things doesn't dwell on trifle matters.
If you want to become the heavenly emperor, how can you be kind and soft-hearted?
Mother Empress,
you gave birth to me,
but you don't understand me at all.
Child, it's exactly because I understand you so well.
You have a simple mind and has a very soft heart.
For those that you're not willing to do, I'll do them for you.
Your thoughts aren't as deep as Run Yu.
Who knows that one day, he'll scheme against you?
We are brothers after all. How bad can he harm me?
With what you're doing, you are just going to push him to the edge!
You must become more ruthless than him.
You must become more ruthless than anyone for you to be able to
make everyone submit to you.
Xu Feng, for me,
you must ascend to the heavenly emperor throne.
Now, Water Deity is dead.
It's the best time to eliminate Run Yu.
As long as you marry Sui He,
the Bird Tribe will be your backer.
I will never marry Sui He.
Silly child, how come you just can't see the situation clearly?
If you insist on being with Jin Mi,
you will regret it.
I then want to see
if I'm able to live longer
by not following your words.
Forgive me for being unfilial.
Xu Feng! You must become the heavenly emperor!
This is my only wish.
Just for you, I can give up my life.
Goats humbly accepts their mother's milk by kneeling.
Crows takes care of their parents when they grow old.
Even the birds and beasts are like that,
what more an immortal.
Eating one's mother to grow stronger.
What's the difference of that kind of
cruelty, unfilial, viciousness, and ungratefulness with the fierce Jing (a legendary animal that eats its own mother)?
Forgive me for I'm unable to follow your wishes.
I...even if I am misunderstood by everyone,
I'm unable to be the filial son
that you say.
Xu Feng!
Xu Feng...
Don't be nervous. For a newbie, you're doing well already.
Your Highness is currently busy with a lot of state affairs.
I want to learn fast, so I can help unload your burden.
Haste makes waste.
Don't rush. Take things slowly.
With your skills, I'm sure that you'll be good at it very soon.
Your Highness, can I set up the Three Stars Constellation now?
The Shang Star hasn't set yet. It's not yet time.
How many dreams did you eat at once? You must be stuffed.
Okay.
Put on the Three Stars Constellation.
Yes.
Remember, parting and never meeting again
is like the Three Stars Constellation and the Shang Star.
Father.
You've come.
You clearly know that Jin Mi's heart belongs to me and you insisted on getting into our way.
Don't blame me for not showing mercy.
Lin Xiu!
I'm dreaming.
[Fragrance Drape Hall]
Little Fish Immortal once said that the whereabouts of Yan Beast is recorded in the Dream Record.
If the dream is real, the Yan Beast probably went to Qi Wu Palace.
[Dream Record]
[Qiwu Palace]
It was really Phoenix's dream.
[Fragrant Drape Hall]
Look. Doesn't the Shang Star look like a scorpion?
And the Three Star Constellation is like a hunter with a bow.
The prey and the hunter are destined to be enemies.
Maybe sometimes, they would meet,
but in the end, still destined to be world's apart.
Never seeing each other again.
Let's end here for today.
[Xuanji Palace]
Brother Yan You, where are you taking me?
Does Brother Run Yu know?
I've told him already.
I'll take you back to the muddy pool. Are you happy?
That's great!
Where are you two planning to go?
Of course, it's to go back to where he belongs.
Where he belongs?
This is his home.
This place has very strict rules and full of mutual deceptions.
It will only erase a natural temperament of a child and destroy his pure and innocent heart.
Li'er, come here.
Your Highness, Lord Yan You,
let us let Li'er decide where he will go.
Fine. You decide.
Brother Yan You, I want to be with Brother Run Yu.
Come. Good.
At such little age, you're already so materialistic.
Forget it. If you want to go back, just call me anytime.
- I'll come fetch you, okay? - Yes.
Yan You,
I also have treated you like a brother all this time.
If you want to leave, I won't ask you to stay.
But if you want to come back, you can do so anytime.
The gates of Xuanji Palace will forever be opened for you.
I'm not yet as capable as Fire Deity. How can I be qualified to be brother of Eldest Highness?
I am politely declining it.
Li'er, thank you that you're staying to be with me.
The day that mother left, she hid me inside the muddy pool of Cloud Dream Pond.
She told me that if she's unable to return,
I must listen to your words from now on.
I remember all of those.
Mother also told me
to take good care of you in this life.
I also won't forget it.
From now on,
it will only be us relying on each other to survive.
Can I still see Brother Yan You
and roll around the muddy pool from now on?
Of course, you can.
- Okay already. Go back and rest first. - Okay.
Yan You has left. Have I really changed a lot?
In this life, I never did any atrocities that offended the Heaven and reason.
How come Mother Empress and Xu Feng
can be unbridled in their actions,
while I am being denounced just for seeking revenge.
Being alienated by my loved ones.
