Ashes of Love
Episode 44
Then...
Fire Deity... Where is Fire Deity?
Fire Deity?
As of today, there is no Fire Deity.
Your injuries have yet to heal.
Don't overthink. Just lie down and rest.
I really killed him.
High Immortal, you just woke up and your body hasn't fully recovered yet.
Don't be overly upset.
Mi'er!
Mi'er.
Kuang Lu, you may leave.
Mi'er, you're finally awake.
Do you feel unwell anywhere?
I... I'm hurting so much.
Mi'er, where does it hurt?
I'll use my spiritual powers to help you relieve the pain, okay?
I don't know.
I feel like... My pain
is overflowing from my chest
into my limbs.
I... It feels like needles and knives are stabbing me.
I can't explain it. I just feel that...
My entire body hurts.
I... I feel horrible,
but I... I don't know where it hurts.
My mouth tastes so bitter.
Okay, Mi'er.
As long as you eat some candy, it'll stop tasting bitter.
Here, Mi'er.
So? Are you feeling better?
Mi'er!
Mi'er. It's okay, Mi'er. It's okay.
It will all pass.
Mi'er, look. Look at the Queen of the Night flowers under the tree.
They've been blossoming for you. So beautiful.
Once you get better, I'll hold a grand wedding to make it up to you.
We'll do it this spring, okay?
Shangyuan Immortal.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Over this half year, a multitude of things have been happing in the Heavenly Realm.
Kuang Lu, thank you for being by my side, helping me. It has been hard on you.
Your Majesty, my daughter is slow-witted. Thank you for not giving up on her,
and instead, promoted her to the rank of shangyuan immortal, and gifted her the Xuanzhou Land.
I thank Your Majesty for your graciousness.
I have always been clear with rewards and punishments.
Kuang Lu does everything appropriately and is careful in action.
She deserves these rewards.
Your Majesty, I don't request materialistic gifts.
I only wish to serve Your Majesty.
I granted you a manor to become
the office for the revisions of astronomy and calendar.
The day of festivals influences the lives of the citizens of the six realms.
The old calendar isn't accurate and defies the proper timing of farming.
We urgently need to create a new calendar law.
Your burden is not light.
I understand. I will do my best.
Rise.
Your Majesty, Water Immortal has just awaken, and her body is still frail.
I remember that my father once gave Taishang Laojun a pellet that can replenish qi.
How about we let Water Immortal try it?
No need. What she has is an illness of the heart. Medicines will not help.
Take it slow.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Also, Your Majesty, this box contains related scrolls of evidence regarding the case of the former Water Immortal.
I will archive it after Your Majesty looks at them.
I don't need to look. I've always trusted your work.
Just take these scrolls to Pixiang Hall and archive them there. Carefully file them.
Mi'er has just wakened. If she sees the items, she'll just yearn for that person again.
I will go do that immediately. I will leave now.
Oh. Your Majesty, I will leave as well.
Here, for you. This is the seed of Queen of the Night.
Queen of the Night flowers only blossom at night.
During the day, they are mostly sleeping with their pedals closed.
I think they are very similar to you, Little Fish Immortal.
Thus, I will give these to you to keep you company.
Mi'er, nothing that happened in the past is important.
The people and things of the past will disperse like smoke and clouds.
I won't allow you to be in pain again.
Let's live a tranquil
happy life together, okay?
Xu Feng! Why is it you?
Are you here to laugh at me?
Royal Mother, your temper hasn't changed at all.
Instead of saying that you're a joke,
I want to congratulate you.
It's still too early for you to celebrate.
Once Xu Feng becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he'll save me from this place.
By that time, you'll get your retribution!
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Mother, you don't know,
but half a year ago, on the day of my grand wedding with Jin Mi,
Xu Feng's rebellion failed, and he was stabbed in the location of his life essence.
He turned into ashes on the spot.
Impossible. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?
Mother, don't be anxious. There's more. After Xu Feng died,
Father was deeply upset, and destroyed his own vital essence
and also died.
Impossible. That is impossible.
You're lying to me!
Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty"?
It's okay. You may leave for now.
Yes.
Impossible. You're lying to me.
You're lying to me!
Why did you? Why?
Why?
Even if you have any grudges against me, you shouldn't have hurt Xu Feng.
He has always treasured you as a brother. What crimes did Xu Feng commit?
Xu Feng is innocent?
Let me ask you. What crimes did my mother and Jin Mi commit?
What crimes did the thousands of lives in the Li Pond commit?
When you killed my mother, eliminated my mother tribe, and attempted to murder Jin Mi,
did the thought of mercy ever cross your mind?
For the sake of my father, you became an executioner.
But did you ever consider the fact that those innocent lives all had families?
I...shouldn't have brought a bastard like you back here!
I should have killed you right there and then, so as not to have raised a tiger that brought myself trouble.
What you said is so right.
I...was just a pawn you used to ensure favor and seek credit.
Who would have expected that a measly pawn
would also get a day to bite back and control his master?
You think that I'm very willing to see my real father
and brother to disappear like smoke right in front of me?
You think I want that?!
You indeed should have just killed me then.
Maybe...if you killed me,
I could have been released from all of these sooner.
Xu Feng has left. His Majesty has also left.
What's the point of still living?
Kill me.
Sure.
If you want to die, then jump from here.
In the past, Former Flower Deity was forced to jump from here
because she got hurt by your Pure Glass Fire.
Mother Empress, you have always been lofty and above all else.
But you don't know that under this high stage,
there are hundreds of bones piled up. How many lives have paved your path
just to fulfill your supreme position?
If you really want to die,
why not jump from here?
Carefully look at the innocent souls
that you have trampled on and have paved your road.
Carefully look at them.
Mother Empress,
I won't let you die this easily. I want you to live.
Have a taste of how it is to lose a husband and a son.
Watch a treacherous son like me
unite the Heavenly Realm and bring thousand years of prosperity.
Xu'er...
Xu'er! Xu'er...
Mother!
I'm so tired. Just embrace me like this.
Embrace me for a while.

You came late. I'll punish you one cup.
- I'll extinguish it. - I'll light one again.
- I'll extinguish it again. - I'll light some again.
He was just a debt that His Highness Heavenly Emperor made because of his womanizing ways.
What right and qualifications does he have to be compared to Second Highness?
Once Your Highness Princess marries His Highness Fire Deity,
once you marry into his house, you even have to be respectful to that Night Deity.
It's really quite unfair for you.
Our birth dates haven't even been compared yet. What nonsense are you saying?
But for His Highness...
I'm overwhelmed with your love. I can't bear to accept it.
- Your Highness. We... - Second Highness.
Eldest Highness has always been careful with his words and actions, indifferent and aloof.
Don't know when did he offend you.
Must I apologize in his behalf?
Your Highness, you have said it too seriously. Earlier, we were only casually...
He who love others is constantly loved by them;
he who respects others is constantly respected by them. Night Deity is my older brother.
I've always highly respected him and dare not be casual with his matters.
May I ask Princess what you mean by casual?
Your Highness, forgive me. I was too talkative.
I shouldn't have spoken evil.
Your princess is so precious and noble. If she really enters the doors of my Qiwu Palace
and bumps into Night Deity, it can't be helped that she must lower her eyebrow and stoop (act servilely).
She must treat him with proper courtesy for an older brother.
I'm really afraid that it will cause your Princess to suffer.
What Your Highness said is very correct. As the princess of the Bird Tribe,
I should be cautious with my words and actions. Thank you Your Highness for reminding me.
It's good that you understand.
I'll take my leave then.
Eldest Highness, don't put her words into heart.
What they said were true too.
Malicious gossips, I'm fine with listening to them.
No matter how they discussed about me,
that Sui He do have sincere feelings towards you.
Don't offend her just because of me.
Or else, Mother Empress will again...
I exactly want them to know
that offending you is offending me.
Enough. Just let those things pass. You...
shouldn't strain your relationship with them just because of me.
For you.
This is?
Open it and look.
Acting so mysterious.
You went to plunder Zifang Cloud Palace again.
I've long recovered. But you...got inflicted by fire poison and was wounded.
I'm giving those to nurse your health.
Thanks.
I'm going to the drill ground then.
Wait.
This is congealed starlight dew. It can alleviate the remaining ice poison in your body.
Just right for tea making. Thanks.
Xu Feng, you're already dead.
How come you still kept appearing in front of me?
You are always so high and mighty, being doted by everyone,
being loved by everyone. Everyone treats you as the blazing sun.
Everyone admires your excellence.
Eulogizes your achievements.
Am I not excellent too? I just don't have a choice.
I never had one. It's always been you all giving things to me,
but none of you have ever asked if I want them or not.
Let me tell you now that
I don't want them.
I don't want these pretentious rewards and pity from all of you.
The more I won't accept your handouts.
Xu Feng, do you know
that once...I wanted to become stronger,
because I hope that one day, I can give you
whatever you want?
But afterwards, I finally understood
that as long as you're around,
I can never become that strongest one.
Tai Wei has been wise all his life,
but in the end, he actually died in the hands of his own son.
This Night Deity killed his father and little brother.
Completely similar to what Tai Wei did before.
I reckon that Tai Wei has never expected it.
As they say, the wheel of nature turns.
Demon King, that Night Deity has just usurped the throne not long ago.
Presently, the new government of Heavenly Realm hasn't stabilized yet and people's hearts are divided.
It's the best time to attack them.
You're right. These past 6 months, I have been recruiting soldiers and buying horses
just to strengthen the army of our Demon Realm,
so that we can have a pleasurable fight with the Heavenly Realm.
Tai Wei o Tai Wei,
you were unable to fulfill your grand dream of uniting the six realms.
Just let me...
...fulfill it for you.
Jin Mi is awake?
Why are you going there?
I really regret why you didn't kill her with your Soul Destroying Arrow when she was in the mortal world.
I did want to kill her, but who was the one who kept stopping me?
How would I know that she's a despicable person?
I was so blind to treat her as my best friend.
I'm going to kill her now and seek vengeance for Brother Feng.
I know that because of Xu Feng's matter,
you hate Jin Mi. But the situation has already happened.
Just with our strengths, we won't be able to change anything.
I really don't understand anymore. What's wrong with the world now?
Mortals like to fight among each other, so it's not surprising for dynasties to change so frequently.
How come the Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm that has been peaceful for thousands of years are also being this unbearably chaotic?
A son usurping his father's throne. A subject stealing his superior's power.
Rebelling against your state has now become just.
What you said are all right. But don't forget,
the new Heavenly Emperor has just taken office. His attitude towards Demon Realm is still unclear.
We still have to take our time to plan for the good of the general situation.
General situation? That's King Gucheng's concerns.
I so want him to fight with Run Yu and both sides ending up badly battered.
Lower down your voice.
King Gucheng is now the Demon King. Even your Uncle and Royal Father have to bow to him when they see him.
Moreover, if not because of King Qingcheng mediating,
how could the two of us still have a footing here in the Demon Realm?
When you see him next time, act appropriately.
The current Heavenly Emperor and Demon King are both unscrupulous and shameless people.
The peace of the six realms will get destroyed in their hands sooner or later.
Say, since the Heavenly Emperor has ascended to the throne,
Jin Mi will become the Heavenly Empress soon.
Heavenly Empress?!
Those two people are villains colluding together and are indeed compatible with each other.
I was indeed blind! The next time I see her, I surely will skin her.
Don't be too rash. We were not there that day. I kept feeling
that there might be a hidden story behind this.
I don't care what her hidden reason is! The fact is she killed Brother Feng!
My Brother Feng was totally devoted and in love with her.

Deity, these midnight queen flowers
were personally planted by His Majesty
when you were deeply asleep.
He watered it with spiritual power, hence, it can now bloom even during the day.
All waiting for you to look at them once you wake up.
People say that Phoenix Flowers in the mortal realm bloom twice.
Once when fate comes, and once when fate leaves. I used my magic
to make sure these Phoenix Flowers never wither.
Fate will eventually end, flowers will eventually return to dust.
Mi'er!
Mi'er, what's wrong?
I'm fine.
You totally don't need to keep it to yourself.
I've already fulfilled all my promises to you.
Now, all those people that hurt you before...
...they all have received their rightful punishment.
The Deposed Empress is locked up in the perennially cold Abyss Overlooking Stage.
Living a life where she wishes that she's dead.
As for Xu Feng...
Half a year ago, you've already personally killed your father's murderer.
Now, you've successfully sought your vengeance.
Flower Deity, Water Deity, and Wind Deity...
They all can now rest in peace.
Mi'er!
♫ so that I can share a bottle of rice wine again and chat with you for an intoxicating lifetime. ♫
♫ 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. ♫
Mi'er, I know that you lost your loved ones.
And then, you experienced a moment of desperate strait like that.
Your heart must be suffering so much right now, unable to be comforted.
You and Xu Feng...you two are now even.
You just did what you should do.
Don't make things hard on yourself anymore. Everything will pass.
♫ From spring to autumn, life comes and goes. Is it right to be vain? ♫
Your Highness! 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.
You just won't take it in, is that it? If you keep being like this,
I will feed you like I did last time then.
Mi'er, Xu Feng has left.
From now on, no matter if you're happy or in pain,
I will always stay by your side.
Once you've fully recovered, I'll compensate you with a grand wedding.
The two of us will walk together for thousands of years from then on.
Is that okay?

Moon Immortal, you are in excellent spirit today. How come you suddenly remembered to visit me?
Right now, I don't want to stay in the heaven for even a moment.
Since that cold-blooded white dragon became the Heavenly Emperor,
the atmosphere in Heavenly Realm has become cold and lonely just like his Xuanji Palace.
Not as warm and tender as these
lake and mountain scenery.
Moreover, Yuan Ji is not around too.
I don't even have anyone to chat with right now.
Hence, I can only look for you to relieve my boredom.
Are you talking about Immortal Yuan Ji who controls the destiny of mortals?
If she's not in Heavenly Realm, where did she go?
Mortal Realm, to go through trials.
A person in-charge of mortal destiny went to the mortal world to experience trials?
Is she trying to experience and observe the local condition there?
Yuan Ji is so crafty. How could she be willing to experience trials?
It's because that eldest nephew of mine can really hold a grudge. In his heart,
he still remembered the trials experienced by Baby Phoenix
and that heartless woman while they were in the Mortal Realm.
Hence, he found a reason to make her go to the Mortal Realm.
Now, I fear that nothing can block his way anymore.
Oh, right, hasn't Jin Mi woken up yet?
Don't mention that heartless woman again! It's exactly because she has woken up,
the more I don't want to stay up there anymore!
She's awake? How come she's not calling me?
You still want to see her?
Ungrateful people like her should be cut into pieces
and then thrown into your Taihu Lake to feed the catfishes!
I still couldn't understand it until now. She likes that bird.
Everyone knows that. But in the end, she...
Maybe, she already...
...made her choice between Baby Phoenix and Run Yu.
Could it be...
What?
Oh, that...the former Heavenly Emperor destroyed his own primordial spirit.
He only got inflicted by the baleful fragrant ash. Why must he be so harsh on himself?
He personally saw one of his son die,
while the other trying to usurp his throne.
Maybe...his heart was dead as ash already.
He was to blame for it too.
If he didn't destroy his own primordial spirit, with the Greater Truth Phoenix Feather protecting him,
he wouldn't end up like that.
But it's quite weird too. Since that day,
Baby Phoenix's Greater Truth Phoenix Feather disappeared too.
He didn't even leave me any remembrance.
It's all that cold-blooded white dragon's fault.
Actually, that cold-blooded white dragon is my adoptive brother.
Su Li is my adoptive mother.
Ha?! What?!
The trauma I'm experiencing lately is too huge!
You...
But, I didn't join at all in his usurping the throne plan.
That Run Yu in the Heavenly Realm, he and I are walking down different paths, so I didn't connive with him.
But Jin Mi, I knew her for such a long time. She isn't an unreasonable person.
Recalling when I accidentally saved her before, she insisted on paying me back a thousand year worth of spiritual energy.
Hence, I'm sure that Xu Feng must have done some unforgivable matter this time.
I think that I can't stay in this Taihu Water Tribe too.
How come everyone in this world is blind?
I...why don't I just follow Yuan Ji and do trials in the Mortal Realm?!
You're already quite old. You should try to be more benevolent and kind.
Jin Mi, I still ended up being an accomplice.
Now, how can I still face you?
But I hope that I'll get a chance in the future to compensate you.
[Qiwu Palace]
Deity.
Where are Liao Ting and Fei Xu?
Moon Immortal asked for them.
Deity, why did you come here to Qiwu Palace?
Nothing. I'll just look around.
I feel like I've gained weight recently,
but I didn't notice extra fat anywhere.
Why is this the only place that gained fat?
Phoenix flowers...
...bloom twice.
Once when fate comes,
and once when fate leaves.
Fate will eventually end, flowers will eventually return to dust.
How come it's like this?
Live again. How come it won't get revived?
Why? How come it won't get revived?
How come it can't be alive again?
Live!
How come you're not getting revived?
Live! How come it's like this?!
Why can't you get revived?!
♫ Sincerely hoping that my lifespan is no longer withering away ♫

♫ Memories go back and forth, a life without regrets. ♫
♫ From spring to autumn, life comes and goes. ♫
It's indeed you. How can you still have the face to come here to Qiwu Palace?!
Fox Immortal, I...
You...what you?
I kept pairing you and Baby Phoenix before,
but that only made it convenient for you to hurt him!
Phoenix killed my father!
Impossible! Baby Phoenix isn't that kind of person!
I saw him grew up.
I know his character very well.
He would never do such a thing.
I also didn't want to believe it,
but that's the truth.
My Father died from Pure Glass Fire.
Phoenix personally admitted that this matter is related to him.
Also, the dream spitted out by Yan Beast is the evidence. I personally saw it.
Dream? Just based on one dream?
That dream was Phoenix's "what you see" dream.
Phoenix killed my Father with his bare hands.
How sure are you that "what you see" dream is real?
"What you see" dreams are what you saw during the day.
Seeing is believing. How can it be fake?
What you see can also be not true. I just don't believe it.
Because I only believe here.
Even if the Heavenly River's flow will reverse, Baby Phoenix would never be a murderer!
