Ashes of Love
Episode 46
Demon King, she's here.
Let her in.
So, it's Princess Sui He.
I never thought...
...Princess actually graced our Demon Realm with your presence.
There are so many eyes watching, so I have no other way.
For Demon King to lower down yourself and agree to meet here, I'm very grateful.
No need to be that courteous.
Sit.
I came today just to ask one favor from you.
You're going to ask me a favor?
What is it about?
I want to borrow your power to take back the Bird Tribe.
Help you take back the Bird Tribe?
What benefit will I get from it?
As long as you help me take the Bird Tribe back,
my tribe will swear to serve you until death from now on.
What do you think?
Princess Sui He, are you making me...
...openly go against the Heavenly Realm?
I think that Demon King's wild ambition
isn't confined to just one Demon Realm, right?
You're indeed very smart.
But you also know...
...that my Demon Realm now has a strong army,
so you're measly Bird Tribe
is not even worth mentioning.
What do Demon King wants?
If I'm able to do it, I surely will do my best to do so.
When awake, grab hold of world's power.
When drunk and sleepy, lie down on a beautiful woman's legs.
What I'm interested in...
I'm sure Princess knows.
Once Demon King has helped me take the Bird Tribe back,
I'll let Demon King choose among the ladies of our tribe.
Even if there are thousands of ladies in the Bird Tribe,
which can...
...compare to you?
I fear that I have to disappoint you then.
I fear that I can disappoint you too then.
I thought that the distinguished Demon King isn't afraid of the Heavenly Realm,
but it doesn't seem to be so.
Offending the Heavenly Emperor
just for a measly Bird Tribe,
that is a losing business deal.
Princess,
if you're not willing to pay even such a little price,
don't blame me for being heartless then.
I won't disturb you anymore.
Demon King, what should we do next?
Let her be.
She's quite a stubborn woman.
Once I've united the six realms,
I don't believe that I won't be able to get you.
The Bird Tribe isn't the same as before. The Demon Realm refused to ally with me.
In this world, is there really no place for me?
Let's go.
Come! Come! Those that are passing by, make sure to not miss it!
Everyone, come and take a look! This staff
is not your ordinary demon staff.
It was possessed by the primordial spirit of the God of War and has tremendous power.
God of War? Which God of War?
Which God of War?
Of course, that Fire Deity of Heavenly Realm whose soul got destroyed half a year ago.
Is is that Fire Deity that guarded the River of Forgetfulness, that Demon King hesitated for thousands years and didn't dare to attack?
I heard that even the powerful Princess Biancheng was defeated by him.
There is only one of this staff in this world.
How could Brother Feng's primordial spirit be here?
It must be a hoax. Let's go.
You don't believe me?
This is where the primordial spirit of Fire Deity is and it has tremendous power.
Everyone, you can start bidding. The highest bidder gets it.
I bid 1 year of spiritual energy!
I bid 3 years!
3 years, anyone else?
- 5 years! - 5 years, anyone else?
I bid 10 years!
10 years? Anymore?
20 years!
20 years! Anyone—
If you want to use the name of the Fire Deity to swindle people,
you must first ask me.
Why must you do this? Why must you incite trouble every time we go out?
What inciting trouble?
My Brother Feng died an unjust death. I won't accept people disrespecting him behind his back.
I have fought with Brother Feng numerous times and I'm familiar with his spiritual energy.
Recently, I kept feeling a similar energy that's wandering around me,
but it surely isn't in there.
Of course. These things are fake.
But, times have changed. The whole Demon Realm now is under King Gucheng.
When we go out, it's better to be careful.
It's not 1 or 2 days that King Gucheng wants to kill me.
Aren't I still living well? Why be afraid of him?
You even have a deep bloody grudge against him, yet you seem to be so fine about it.
The grudge of destroying one's tribe is irreconcilable. I so want to grind his bones and scatter the ashes
compared to any of you.
But the situation now is unstable. Not being to endure it a little might lead to great disaster.
If we create any more trouble,
it will only make things harder to your Royal Father and King Qingcheng.
Stop telling me these great principles. Brother Feng died unjustly. I'm unhappy about it.
Princess Liu Ying, Demon King asks to see you.
Don't go.
I'll be back in a jiffy. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me.
Whether it's some evil scheme or good intention, I'll know when I see it.
Hey!
In my generation, King Qingcheng is old and has no interest in managing state affairs.
King Yancheng loved women and drinking. He has grand ambitions, but lacked talent.
His two sons were both useless.
I'm great in making strategies and has grand ambitions.
Too bad, I have no descendants. To say something unpleasant,
your father is too cautious and careful, only has average talent.
In my opinion, among the next generations,
only you are the most promising.
Demon King asked me to come here, not really just to treat me for some meals
and to talk about family tradition, right?
Before, when King Yancheng was still the king, he wanted to restrict and balance both sides.
Hence, it can't be helped for me and your Biancheng Palace to be distant from one another.
Today, it's not the same as before.
I'm now the Demon King and I should love my citizens like they are my children.
Although I don't have any descendants, I saw you grew up.
I like you from the bottom of my heart.
How about this? After drinking this wine today,
let's forget all those past grudges from now on.
Thank you for giving me much importance. I'm overwhelmed.
Heir apparent niece, you will one day inherit your father's royal throne.
It's just that you're too acquainted with those immortals in Heavenly Realm since you were little.
And you always seek to excel others.
If you're this undisciplined, in the future,
how can you lead a a portion of the demon clan?
Before, I ordered that you be pursued and killed,
but how could I bear to really kill you?
I only want to train your character and drive.
I have to thank Demon King's kindness for not killing me then.
You are still young. You will eventually understand
my painstaking efforts.
Your father taught you very well, but he wasn't able to teach you
what life affairs and human heart mean.
Our Demon Realm has two threats.
First is the Heavenly Realm.
Since thousands of years ago, the Demon Realm had acted independently and defiantly
against the Heavenly Realm. Each occupying their own stretch of land.
Now,
we're being trampled by those pretentious immortals.
Do you know why?
Why?
That's the second threat.
Internal strife. The city lords of the Demon Realm
have been in life and death struggles just for territories. Hurting their own vital energy.
Heavenly Realm loves that so they can just sit by and reap the benefits.
What you said is very reasonable.
Half a year ago, a revolt happened in Heavenly Realm, Until now, they have not yet fully recovered from it.
I desire to use this opportunity
while the new Heavenly Emperor has not yet fully grown his wings
to lead an army and attack the Heavenly Realm.
I want to catch them off guard. After thinking about it,
you are the best choice for a vanguard.
There is indeed a motive for this banquet.
The Soul Banishing Tribe suffering annihilation
is not my fault alone.
The truth is...
...the mastermind behind it...
...is the former Heavenly Emperor Tai Wei.
How come I never heard anyone mention that?
What is this?
That is the blood contract between me and the former Heavenly Emperor.
It even has his deity blood on it.
It is indeed embarrassing. I...
believed the instigation of former Heavenly Emperor and became his lackey.
The Soul Destroying Arrow has the ability to kill an immortal.
while we from the Demon Clan
have never been afraid of death. Only those immortals
will feel threatened by the Soul Destroying Arrow
and will want to kill them all.
Hence, the real mastermind behind the annihilation of the Soul Banishing Tribe
is the former Heavenly Emperor Tai Wei. This present attack
can count too as seeking vengeance for the Soul Banishing Tribe.
I know.
Qi Yuan is the last descendant of the Soul Banishing Tribe.
Once I conquer Heavenly Realm, I surely...
...will personally head the wedding between you and Qi Yuan.
Do you believe his words?
His motive isn't that simple.
He just wants you to serve him.
But regarding the Soul Banishing Tribe, what are your plans?
As they say, 'every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt there is a debtor'.
Since King Gucheng joined in the massacre of my tribe,
he still is accountable for it.
He must pay for his debt sooner or later.
Since Brother Feng died, I don't believe those immortals in heaven anymore.
What is right? What is evil?
There are loyal and righteous people here in Demon Realm, while there are sinister ones in the Heavenly Realm.
I fear that there isn't really any boundary between good and evil.
What's scariest is in this world, evil prevails over good.
Promise me. Stop joining these conflicts.
Let's look for verdant hills and limpid water (enchanting scenery).
Live my remaining years in a peaceful and stable manner, okay?
In the past, it's me who tells you such things. Now, it's the other way around.
That's right.
After all, I don't have much time left.
Hence, rather than seeking revenge, I'm more willing to
quietly and stably live these remaining years with you.
Didn't you tell me that if two people in love
can see each other every day, even if they are just mayflies who will live in the morning and die by sunset,
they will feel contented. Right?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
...save him.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Xu Feng, even if I have to go up the sky or go beneath the earth, search the whole six realms,
I surely will come up with a way to revive you.
Who is out there?!
You are not allowed to trespass here!
Princess, they forced their way in. I couldn't stop them.
Yin Que, although you're the Tribe Leader,
isn't trespassing into my Feiluan Palace excessive bullying already?
It's me.
Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
Princess Sui He, so you still recognize me as your Heavenly Emperor.
Your Majesty already holds great power. Whether I recognize it or not,
will it make a difference?
Princess Sui He, you still haven't changed. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you will not lose in imposing manner.
Fine. If even you will start to fawn on me,
I will not get used to it.
Your Majesty, thank you for your praises. May I know why you personally came here to see me?
To see if you're just complying in appearance but opposing in heart, doing some rebellious act.
Who is slandering me and deceiving your ears?
Real or fake, black or white, we'll know once we check it.
Your Majesty, it is indeed in here.
Your Majesty.
Before, I only thought that you're arrogant and willful, hence, not qualified to be a tribe leader.
From the looks of it now...you secretly hid an important criminal and is bearing evil intentions.
The Bird Tribe can't accommodate you anymore.
Your Majesty...listen to me explain.
Don't!
It's fake.
Where is Xu Feng?
That day, everyone saw how Second Highness died and his soul dissipated.
Even if I want to, I don't have the ability to go against heaven.
I just converted a bird to look like Second Highness, so I'll have something to place my love on.
If Your Majesty couldn't even allow something like this,
why don't you just kill me too?
But if this gets out, don't know whose reputation will get tainted.
It's better if Princess will just let go of those improper thoughts.
Let's go.
Walking Over Ripples Palm.
So, it is indeed you who was betraying me.
Princess, what are you saying? I don't understand.
You still are refuting it?
I already suspected you way before. My plans were getting leaked one by one.
Only you know that I'm hiding Xu Feng,
but you didn't know that it was fake.
Que Ling, I've usually treated you nicely.
Why did you keep betraying me?
Every time I serve you,
whenever I am unable to fulfill your wish for just some small matter,
you will make things very difficult for me.
With you being this domineering,
you don't know that people have long abandoned you!
Anyone who betrays me has only one ending.
Before I went out with you earlier,
I've already informed Tribe Leader about it.
If I'm unable to return today,
don't Princess think of leaving this Yimiao Region by a step.
Don't even think of fooling me.
She didn't fool you.
Men, arrest her!
Yin Que, I will temporarily remember this debt of yours today.
I'll make you pay for it next time.
[Yu Pool]
Good thing, I planned ahead, hence, Run Yu wasn't able to get his way.
Although this Yu Pool is a bit spooky,
it's the safest place within the six realms.
Xu Feng, I surely will think of a way to get you the Nine-Times Refined Golden Pellet.
When you wake up,
I surely will help you get back to the summit
and conquer the whole six realms.

Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
King Biancheng.
Please.
After our short meeting last time,
don't know if you've made a decision about the things we've discussed.
Your Majesty, King Gucheng has just ascended to the Demon King position not long ago.
The situation hasn't stabilized yet. About the alliance,
hope Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor give me some more time.
Let me think about it.
Indecision invariably leads to trouble.
What kind of person is King Gucheng,
how can you not know? One mountain can't accommodate two tigers.
He has always had wolf-like ambitions and aims to conquer my Heavenly Realm.
Since he just attended to the throne and is aiming for power stability, his attitude towards you
is like using warm water to boil a frog, just pretentious preferential treatment.
But that doesn't mean that he won't touch you in the future.
If you get deceived by his present leniency,
let him get powerful, that will lead to endless future troubles.
What you said is reasonable. It's just that your additional condition
of asking me to search for the soul of Fire Deity here in Demon Realm and then hand it to you
is a bit forcing it on me. My daughter and I
owe a great debt of kindness from Fire Deity Xu Feng. How can we be ingrates?
Xu Feng has showed you kindness.
I'm sure that if you know about his whereabouts,
you surely will help him, right?
Your Majesty, the dead is gone. I don't believe that Xu Feng
still has a soul left here in this world, especially here in Demon Realm.
That's right. The dead is already gone. Xu Feng's body has long died and his spirit extinguished.
What I want is just your friendship.
I don't want any hidden trouble in our alliance.
Of course, that includes Xu Feng.
I knew beforehand that Xu Feng has good relationship with you.
Liu Ying and Xu Feng are sworn friends.
That makes her my little sister too.
I dare not make such high social connection.
In terms of being siblings, between you and Fire Deity,
it's like seeing a mountain range from the front, and a peak from the side. The features changes as you look near and far.
I only swore brotherhood with Fire Deity.
With Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor being so high and noble, lowering down yourself like that is making me so overwhelmed.
What I'm proposing concerns the peace of Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm.
May Princess Biancheng put down your personal grudges and prejudices.
Try to support the fulfillment of this matter.
I don't understand your grand plans and evil schemes.
I just know that
when my Royal Father was framed by King Gucheng and his life was in danger,
all of you immortals in Heavenly Realm were indifferent about it. Only my Brother Feng,
although he was grounded by Heavenly Emperor then, thought of ways to get out and come to our aid.
I will never forget that act of kindness from him.
I've already made an oath in the riverbanks of the River of Forgetfulness
that in this life, I will never do anything that will wrong Brother Feng.
And Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor, you actually want us to go to the River of Forgetfulness, collect the soul of Brother Feng, then give it to you?
You are really making us ungrateful here.
I'm very impressed for princess' sense of righteousness.
But don't know if your sense of righteousness
can earn the sense of righteousness of King Gucheng.
From the looks of it now, your Heavenly Realm is made up of disloyal, unfilial,
heartless, unjust, and shameless people.
A subordinate stealing his superior's power and the killing of one's father and brother are just regular household meals.
How dare you!
Liu Ying, it's not yet your turn to talk here.
Get out.
Star Lord Po Jun?
If I remember it right, it was my Brother Feng who has such keen eyes for talent,
hence, he personally trained and promoted a trusted general like you.
My Brother Feng died from a disaster, Star Lord then chose a new master and continuously progressed.
Congratulations!
The royal daughters of our Demon Clan has always acted in a courageous manner.
I'm ashamed to work together with pretentious people like you two.
Shut up.
I take it that...
...what Princess Biancheng mean is you're rejecting my proposition?
Your Majesty, please calm down. Liu Ying doesn't have the final say when it comes to the matter of my Biancheng Royal Palace.
We can agree with the alliance, but I ask for fairness.
Your Majesty wants me to go to River of Forgetfulness to gather the remnant soul of Brother Feng.
Shouldn't you agree with one of our condition too?
What do you want? Just say it.
My Brother Feng died tragically. His death hasn't been avenged yet.
A grudge has a perpetrator, a debt has a debtor.
Hope Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor hand over the murderer of my Brother Feng.
You are indeed your Brother Feng's bosom friend.
You kept protecting him, both when he was alive and now that he's dead.
Xu Feng didn't live in vain.
It's just that my Heavenly Realm's soon-to-be Empress punishing a rebel
is achieving great merit for my Heavenly Realm. What crime then did she commit?
No need for a measly Demon Realm princess like you to criticize her.
King Biancheng, looks like...
...Princess Liu Ying is confident that she can fight King Gucheng.
I'll just rub my eyes and wait for it then.
Let's go.
Rebel?
We all know very well who the real rebel is!
Demon King.
I'm willing to be the vanguard, cross the River of Forgetfulness,
and help you conquer Heavenly Realm.
Good.
When the flower blooms, I would draw flowers.
When the flower withers, I would draw myself.
Since you've arrived, of course, I would draw you.
When you left, I then would draw memories.
♫ But so what? ♫
♫ The moonlight connects our yearning. ♫
The phoenix flower blooms twice a year.
Once when fate comes, once when fate leaves.
Fate will eventually end,
flowers will eventually return to dust.
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be waiting there to watch the sunset together. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we fell in love in each lifetime. ♫
Old man.
Miss, you're here again.
Seeing that you're steps are light like you're flying, you're fine now.
Miss, why don't you just put down your obsessions
and cherish the person in front of you?
This might sound funny. Sometimes, the person in front of you
might not be the person you love.
Only after I personally killed him that I knew
that the person who my heart loves is only him.
Since you are this persistent, I'll tell this to you then.
Phoenix is an invincible bird.
It's born with 7 spirits and 8 souls.
The extra soul is to be used during its rebirth.
Miss, if you can find that remaining soul of his,
then assist it with the Nine-Times Refined Golden Pellet of Taishang Laojun,
maybe there is still one slim chance of reviving him.
Are you saying the truth?
It's just that golden pellet is only obtained once in ten thousand years.
I fear that this matter won't go smoothly.
It's fine. As long as there is a slim chance, I won't give up.
I'll take my leave now. Old man, take care.
Water Deity, may I know what is the reason
that you traveled far to visit me today?
I heard that the immortal pellets you develop are top treasures of the Heavenly Realm.
The effects can be as minor as removing necrotic tissues and developing new flesh,
to as major as gathering qi and soul.
Also, I heard...
...that you were able to create 3 Nine-Times Refining Golden Pellet.
They can return an immortal's soul, extend a deity's life.
The effect of that pill isn't as magnificent as what you said.
It's just that people tend to circulate false reports and has exaggerated it too much.
You should know that deities have seven spirits and seven souls.
Combined as 49 circle of qi.
Unless he still has a remaining spirit or soul,
or his body is still around, once he takes in my golden pellet,
it then might cause an effect.
Water Deity wants my golden pellet?
Could it be you want to revive the former Water Deity?
Forgive me for being frank. Former Water Deity's primordial spirit and flesh have both disappeared.
Even if you use my golden pellet, it's impossible to happen.
My father has died a long time ago. I'm not expecting anymore that he'll return.
Today, I especially visited to ask for it
because I need to use it for something else.
Hope Laojun can grant me the golden pellet. In the future,
if you need me, I surely will not refuse and do everything to help you.
Water Deity, I fear that your wish might come to nothing.
My Nine-Times Refined Golden Pellet have been stored here for more than 20,000 years.
But until now, it still lacks one medicinal ingredient.
I fear that we will never be able to get it.
Laojun, what is that medicinal ingredient that you're saying?
It is Shangshen Lian Chao's Heaven Light.
I'll go find it then.
Lian Chao has died long ago.
There is no more Heaven Light in this world.
Your Majesty.
It is indeed still existing in this world.
You're right. In the past, Your Majesty went to the Demon Realm to capture Qiong Qi.
The Former Heavenly Emperor didn't punish this ferocious beast by destroying his soul
and instead ordered me to bring it to High Clear Sky and had 12 seals put on it.
Hope Your Majesty tells me
how I should handle this ferocious beast.
Put it inside Sacred Text Examining Pavilion first.
Yes.
You're back.
It's so late. Your Majesty isn't resting yet?
While you're not yet back, how can I sleep soundly?
I told you before to still call me Little Fish Immortal.
That address was just a joke made when I was still young and insensible.
Now, you're already the respected Heavenly Emperor. If I still call you like that,
it seems inappropriate.
I heard that you went to Doushuai Palace today and asked Laoujun to give you a golden pellet.
That's right. Just casually looking around.
May I ask why you want that Nine-Times Refined Gold Pellet?
My fate is full of disasters. Just want to ask for a pellet to protect myself.
It's better to prepare ahead, right?
This isn't some major matter.
You can just tell me what you want.
Okay. I got it. It's getting late. Your Majesty, you better rest early.
I thought that I can still save Xu Feng.
Never thought that the Heaven isn't giving me that chance at all.
You're crying?
- No. - You're crying! She's crying!
Look...she's crying. What's wrong?
Why are you acting so shocked and frightened? It's really no use that you get to live to this age.
What we have here is the number one ungrateful person in this world
having a few drops of tears.
What's strange about that?
Fox Immortal, Phoenix actually is still alive.
