Ashes of Love
Episode 47
- You're crying? - No, I'm not.
You're crying! She's crying!
Look...she's crying. What's wrong with you?
- What's wrong with her? - Why are you being so fidgety?
It's such a waste for you to have grown to such age.
What we have here is just the top ingrate
in this world
shedding some tears.
What's strange about that?
Fox Immortal, actually, Phoenix is still alive.
Do you know Shanghen Lian Chao. Is he really dead?
If we're able to get his Heaven Light,
maybe there's still hope to revive Phoenix.
Lian Chao? Isn't that the eldest brother of Hong Hong and former Heavenly Emperor?
Are you saying the truth?
I personally heard it.
It's really deplorable.
Such a pity to my eldest brother. For a lifetime,
he has to be troubled by Tu Yao and her son.
How should I make this choice?
Hong Hong, what do you mean?
Actually, my eldest brother is still alive.
Utter mischief! Liu Ying, when will you grow up?
Are you really going to serve King Gucheng?
Royal Father, the Heavenly Realm is bullying us intolerably. I couldn't endure it anymore.
You are always this willful and reckless.
You think this whole six realms is just our Biancheng Royal Palace?
Everyone must tolerate and care for you?
Do you know the meaning of starting a war between the Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm?
I know! A life and death struggle!
Life and death struggle? It's plunging the people into utter misery!
Are you just going to watch as our demon brothers
die in vain for a meaningless war like this?
Even if I die, the lofty and unyielding character of our Demon Clan mustn't be broken!
Is it only you who has a lofty character?!
For so many years, I endured humiliation and bore heavy burden
to maintain a good relationship between the Heavenly and Demon realms. And now, it's going to get destroyed.
And this Heavenly and Demon war will also destroy
the peaceful and flourishing era that the Demon Realm had established for so many years.
Liu Ying, you have disappointed me so much!
What enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burden?! You're just too weak!
Lian Chao is still alive?
Didn't he already die during the great war between Heavenly and Demon realms?
Lian Chao is after all our eldest brother.
That time, he fell into the River of Forgetfulness.
Everyone in this world thought that his soul has already dissipated.
Actually, he just got severely injured.
It was me who secretly hid him.
I transferred spiritual energy to him for thousands of years
and helped him wake up.
My god...
There is even such a huge secret like that behind this?
Taishang Laojun told me that
if we're able to find Lian Chao and obtain the Heaven Light,
the Nine-Times Refined Golden Pellet will then be completed, and this way, Phoenix can be revived.
I know. I understand.
Just rashly asking your eldest brother
for such a precious treasure, is indeed not suitable in terms of both affection and reason.
But as long as we can revive Phoenix, I'm willing to do anything.
Even if he wants my primordial spirit, I can give it to him.
Are you really willing to pay any price
just for Phoenix?
If I'm unable to revive Phoenix, find my love back,
what's the use of having this empty body?
Xiao Tao Tao, what nonsense are you saying?!
What love? How could you know about love?
You completely can't be in love with anyone.
You took in the Perishing Pellet upon getting born. You are destined to be devoid of love forever.
What Perishing Pellet?
It seems to be...some Perishing Pellet?
Hong Hong, you're really old. Your hearing is failing you now.
No matter how deaf my ears are,
with your voice earlier, I'm able to hear them very well.
Voice?
- It's nothing. - What Perishing Pellet?!
- What being unable to love? - No such thing.
That Perishing Pellet...
...has already disappeared...when Phoenix died.
Xiao Tao Tao.
What? It has disappeared?
Who told you? Which Fragrance Chief told you that?
This is a huge sinful fate!
The painstaking efforts of the Former Flower Deity...
...just got wasted like that.
Quickly say it. What is a Perishing Pellet?
Or else, I'll bite you to death in behalf of the rabbits.
One rabbit holds the pass...
One rabbit holds the pass, and thousands cannot pass! A thousand army of rabbits surging forward!
Don't say it anymore... I'll say it...
- Quickly say it. - I...
...only heard a bit of it.
It's not accurate...
They said that Former Flower Deity before
was so in love with the Former Heavenly Emperor...
That present Heavenly Emperor has directly bullied us. How come we can't fight Heavenly Realm?
Royal Father kept cowering. When will there be an end to this?
You had a fight with your Royal Father?
In my opinion, you shouldn't have argued with him.
In this world,
who else will care about you as much as he does?
King Gucheng clearly is just using you.
Because your Royal Father didn't want you to go,
you think he was just enduring the Heavenly Realm silently?
He said that I disappointed him.
When a person is very mad,
who haven't said regretful words?
Think about it, have you never said any harsh words that's against your heart?
I told you most of them.
Eat some peach and cool down.
Go see your Royal Father later.
Who knew...
Who knew that this Perishing Pellet still couldn't sever those severely poisonous love strands?
You still fell in love with him.
Loved him to the point that the Perishing Pellet shattered and disappeared.
Humans have destiny, so do immortals.
Everything is fated to happen.
I've handled marriage fates and love
for tens of thousands of years, but I never heard of
an item that can cut off love like that.
I really never heard of it.
No wonder, you acted so ignorant about love before.
It's just that...
...my Baby Phoenix is so pitiful.
He died not knowing this.
Fine! Fine!
I'll accompany you in this journey.
But,
whether my Eldest Brother Lian Cheng will be willing or not to hand you the Heaven Light,
it will depend on fate.
Thank you, Fox Immortal.
Do you know where he is now?
At the peak of Yimiao Region's Snake Mountain.
Mi'er!
Lord Puchi.
You...
Why are you blocking me?
Mi'er, so you're back here in the Flower Realm.
No wonder, I couldn't find you despite going around the whole Heavenly Realm.
Have you decided to leave Heavenly Emperor and enter my embrace?
Yan You!
Mi'er now loves Phoenix, so stop causing trouble.
Seriously.
Didn't that Phoenix die already?
Phoenix now still has a slim chance of surviving.
But whether he can be revived or not,
- will depend on the result of our trip to Snake Mountain. - Yes.
I seemed to have missed a lot of stories.
I'll tell you the details next time.
Fox Immortal and I must go to Snake Mountain now.
That area where neither immortals nor demons dare to enter?
You're going alone? What if you get hurt?
No, I'm going with you two.
I'm going too.
With that measly spiritual power of yours, don't join in the fun anymore.
You're going to leave me behind again. You're so not a friend.
[Snake Mountain]
This is Snake Mountain.
This place not only can suppress your spiritual power, usual magic is useless too.
Don't even mention any magical transportation techniques.
And this little path is the only path up the Snake Mountain.
We can't use any magic? If we're going to just manually go up that mountain, won't our legs get paralyzed afterwards?
Moreover, there must be poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on this path, right?
Beautiful lady, you're really going up?
If you're afraid, just stay here and wait for us.
Moon Immortal, you must be joking. My purpose for coming in this trip is to protect Jin Mi.
Escaping midway has never been my expertise.
What did you say?
Water Deity entered the Snake Mountain? Did you see it clearly?
I saw it very clearly.
Why would Water Deity go up Snake Mountain?
Heavenly Emperor loves Water Deity so much.
I must quickly report this to him.
You, immediately come up with me to Heavenly Realm.
Yes.
Be careful. From what I know,
there are thousands of poisonous creatures here in Snake Mountain.
It's very dangerous.
Don't worry. You have the Little Snake Prince here. I just need to move my fingers
and I guarantee that they won't dare disobey.
My eldest brother Lian Chao naturally doesn't like to be around people.
After getting revived, he hid here.
For thousands of years, anyone who dared to go up Snake Mountain,
whether an immortal or a demon, would die by the mouth of snakes.
Hence, no one ever knew about my eldest brother's existence.
There have been numerous rumors about the past affairs between the Deposed Empress,
the Former Emperor, and his brother for these past thousands of years.
Within the six realms, there have been numerous versions already.
Each one being alluring and bizarre.
Don't know if Moon Immortal can tell me the truth.
I was young then. I don't understand what love is yet.
Hence, I also don't know what really happened between the 3 of them.
Too bad. Or else, this story
will surely help me create a monumental work within the six realms.
Be careful!
Didn't you say that if you just move your fingers, they won't dare to disobey anymore?
I never thought that spiritual power will get suppressed so much in this place.
It's fine. I have another way.
These snakes have their own spiritual awareness.
I fear that normal methods won't work on them.
Do you have any clever plan?
I'm tying them with red strings so they can be busy about some other things.
Outstanding! Clever trick! I'm impressed!
Let's not delay. Hurry and go.
Moon Immortal, quickly put out some red strings.
I've used them all up!
Have to go all out with them then.
Today, I'll let them see my strength as the Little Snake Prince.
You want to bite me?
No matter what, I must climb up this mountain's peak.
Don't you find Jin Mi different?
Because she has grown up.
Lord Yan You, what's wrong with your butt? Did you get hurt?
It's fine. I just got bitten by those little snakes.
It must be a female snake. She was envious with my graceful bearing and good look.
But these snakes are poisonous.
It's fine. My real form is a snake so their poisons won't hurt me.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Mi'er, are you hurt?
Quickly sit down.
Mi'er, what's wrong?
It's nothing. I might have been careless earlier and got bitten by a snake.
Let me see.
This...
This is bad. The poison of this spiritual snake can counter an immortal's power.
What should we do then?
While we haven't reached the mountain's summit, I won't let anything happen to me.
Mi'er...
Okay already. I'm fine now.
- Mi'er. - Let's go.
Mi'er, there's still a long way ahead.
Let me carry you on my back.
I can still walk.
Since that Phoenix died,
no matter what method I use to make her happy, she never smiled again.
Looks like this time, she has suffered inconsolable grief.
She brought all these to herself.
Your Majesty, Tribe Leader Yin Que asks for an audience.
Greetings, Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
Kuang Lu, leave first.
Tribe Leader seems to be in a hurry to come here. For what reason is that?
My subordinate saw Water Deity entering Snake Mountain today.
- Snake Mountain? - Yes.
Snake Mountain is a very dangerous place. It's full of lethally poisonous spiritual snakes.
Also, upon entering, one's spiritual energy will get greatly suppressed.
Hence, immortals and demons alike respect it and stay far away from it.
I don't know why Water Deity will enter Snake Mountain.
I was afraid that she might be in danger,
hence, I especially came to inform you.
Did she enter the mountain alone?
Replying to Your Majesty, there were two other men
who went in the Snake Mountain with Water Deity.
One wearing green clothes, the other one has red strings tied on his hair.
I didn't clearly see their faces.
I got it. You all go back first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Jin Mi, just for him, don't you want your life anymore?
Jin Mi, just let me carry you.
No need. I can do it on my own.
Phoenix, no matter where you are, I will surely bring you back.
We've finally reached the peak.
The summit is a very different scenery.
Looks like Mr. Lian Chao has taste.
Mi'er, it's just in front.
Okay.
Who are you?
Eldest Brother!
Dan Zhu? How come it's you?
That's about it.
Tai Wei destroyed his cultivation. Tu Yao got imprisoned.
I came to this journey for Tai Wei's son, Xu Feng.
Deity,
if you're willing to hand us the Heaven Light to save Xu Feng,
I...am willing to give everything in exchange.
Tu Yao...
Never thought that after thousands of years, I still have this kind of entanglement with you.
Lian Chao!
Where are you?
You repeatedly skipped Master's training.
I will tell this to His Majesty Heavenly Emperor sooner or later.
Just go then. Go complain to my father.
I'll go tell your father about your acts too.
Hateful Lian Chao, come out!
What about me are you going to complain to my father?
Not willing to get married. Is that worthy to be complained?
The immortals, demons, ghosts, and monsters going to your house to seek your hand in marriage lately
can almost flatten the sill of your house gates,
yet you still are being so picky
and always going out of the house.
If your father learns about this—
I don't believe in those orders by one's parents and words by a matchmaker.
The person I must marry must be someone I like. I—
I am the only descendant of the Phoenix Clan in the whole six realms.
If I'm going to marry, I have to marry the best man.
Fine, you choose.
Choose until all your phoenix feathers have shed off and you still won't find your perfect guy.
I'll then reluctantly just marry you by then.
You wish.
Not only is my spiritual power greater than yours now,
even Tai Wei will catch up to you soon.
If you continue like this, how are you going to inherit the heavenly emperor throne?
Silly phoenix, what's the use of having very strong spiritual energy?
My Father Emperor has such strong spiritual power, but don't he always lose to Mother Empress?
Don't you have any drive to improve yourself at all?
Give it back to me! Give it back to me!
Just gift it to me.
The Greater Truth Phoenix Feather is the most important item in our Phoenix Clan.
If you're able to obtain the most magnificent item in this world, I'll gift it to you.
You're deliberately making things hard to me.
You clearly know that I was naturally born color blind.
But as long as you want it,
I surely will offer it to you with both hands.
Okay then. It's a deal.
I heard that King Yancheng of the Demon Realm has strong spiritual power.
You must be careful in this battle.
You're that worried about me?
You would usually lose to me when we train with our swords. Of course, I would worry.
Don't worry. I surely will win a battle for you to see,
so that you won't dare belittle me again.
Just save your brags once you've returned victoriously.
One great battle between the Heavenly and Demon realms
and I almost died in the River of Forgetfulness.
I never expected that Tai Wei would collude with King Gucheng,
a subordinate of Demon King, just to get the heavenly emperor position
and have me killed.
After Dan Zhu saved me, I was unconscious for several years.
When I woke up, Tu Yao has become the Heavenly Empress.
I'm back.
You're still alive?
You married Tai Wei.
Do you know that it was him who colluded with King Gucheng before to have me killed?
Just to get the heavenly emperor throne, he didn't mind killing his older brother. He is disloyal, unjust, and heartless.
Don't be deceived by him. Leave with me.
We can look for a quiet place surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Just you and me, living our days in a carefree manner.
I thought then that you're dead.
When I was in extreme despair,
it was Tai Wei who gave me warmth.
He even conferred me the Heavenly Empress position.
And now, I already have his child.
Child?
Are you happy?
I'm the Heavenly Empress. I have everything that I want.
Of course, I'm happy.
Lian Chao,
it was me who failed you.
This is heaven's will.
Now, it's enough that you're happy.
You left and secluded yourself here in the Snake Mountain just to fulfill the wishes of Tu Yao?
Sinful fate...
You said that my Heaven Light can save Xu Feng?
Yes.
Deity, now that I learned of these past,
the more I know that giving out the Heaven Light to save Phoenix
is indeed very unfair to you.
But if possible,
I'm willing to give everything in exchange for it.
I was born unable to discern any color.
If you will give me the color discerning skills of your eyes,
I will then give you the Heaven Light.
Are you willing?
Jin Mi is the daughter of Flower Deity. She will take over the Flower Realm in the future.
- If she's unable to see any color, how could she do it?! - I'm willing.
Jin Mi! Without any color, your days will be like without sun.
That's right.
Jin Mi, think about it again.
Deity, my mother had me take in the Perishing Pellet upon birth.
Since then, I was devoid of feeling any love.
Until that day, when I personally killed the person I love,
the Perishing Pellet disappeared and I finally understood what love is.
If Xu Feng is gone,
even if this world has beautiful purples and brilliant reds, what's the point
of that for me?
No need.
Deity, I'm sincere in giving it to you.
It's already my great fortune that you're willing to do this exchange with me.
I just want to see what you're willing to give up just for love.
Never thought that I'm still able to meet someone very similar to me in this life.
Deity, you probably want the color in my eyes for the person you love, right?
This is Heaven Light. No container in this world can carry it.
Even the true form of a highly powerful shangshen can only endure it for 6 hours.
Let me do it!
Mi'er.
Tu Yao, this is the last thing that I can do for you.
Let me do it. The mistake was committed by me.
How could I let anyone bear it in my behalf?
I'm atoning for my sins. Just let me do it.
Mi'er.
♫ 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. ♫
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
There is still an idiot like me in this world.
♫ the place where I made my wish in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I plant a red lotus to bring a sweet aroma to time. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we fell in love in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
Mi'er...
I'm fine. If I'm unable to fulfill Deity Lian Chao's wish,
I will feel guilty. Deity.
Never expected that when all colors are merged,
it actually is colorless.
Great music has the faintest notes, the great form is without shape.
The most magnificent thing in this world is the simplest.
Tu Yao, have you understood that?
Eldest Brother, are you alright?
Miss, can I ask you a favor?
Deity, please say it.
Give this pearl to Tu Yao.
I want to store our past within this thousand of magnificence,
to accompany her remaining days.
Deity, don't worry. I surely will not fail you.
You all immediately leave to save the son of Tu Yao. Don't stay here anymore.
Dan Zhu, everyone, take care.
Take care.
Let's go.
Deity is so sincerely in love with Deposed Empress.
Don't know if Deposed Empress have any feelings for Deity at all.
Only Tu Yao will know that.
That Deposed Empress is so vicious. How could she know what true love is?
But for her and Former Heavenly Emperor to give birth to an infatuated child like Phoenix,
that's really so magical.
Let's quickly go.
- What's going on? - How come this is happening?
This Snake Mountain was an embodiment of Eldest Brother's primordial spirit.
Now that Snake Mountain is disappearing,
it means...
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com
Didn't you say that we won't meet again?
I came to see you to ask for a favor.
Tai Wei is severely injured.
Only your Heaven Light can save him.
Did you come here
to ask me to save Tai Wei?
I know...
we owe you a lot.
But...you two are real brothers.
If you don't save him,
I can only bring Xu Feng
and leave with him.
We only took the Heaven Light from him. How come eldest brother's primordial spirit dissipated?
Could it be...
Tu Yao,
this is the last thing I can do for you.
Eldest Brother!
Dan Zhu, just to save Tai Wei before,
I've already spent half of my primordial spirit.
Now, it's hard to continue my life.
But my wish has been fulfilled and have no more worries.
Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother, why didn't you tell us?
No, I'll give this back to Deity.
- It's too late! - Let go of me!
This is eldest brother's choice. This for him is also a kind of closure.
But...
Our spiritual energy isn't being suppressed anymore.
Let's quickly go and fly down the mountain.
Let's go.
- Jin Mi! - I'm fine.
It must be because the snake poison is acting up, hence, I couldn't use my magic.
Fox Immortal, quickly take this and go save Phoenix!
Mi'er, are you alright?
I'm fine. Just poison from a spiritual snake.
Beautiful lady, I'm leaving now. I'll just look for you next time.
- If you want to see me, you can call me anytime. - Okay.
Little Jin Mi, I'm leaving too.
Let's go home.
Okay.
- The Heaven Light has been placed inside the pellet stove already? - Yes.
Looks like the Heaven is also helping you.
Helping him. And also, helping me.
If he truly gets revived, your wish will then be fulfilled.
I also need not worry about you day and night. That Jin Mi who is carefree and without worries
should return too, right?
Earlier, I heard Uncle saying some
things about Eldest Uncle. Eldest Uncle has always been an infatuated lover.
Since you've met him, how come you still don't understand me?
I quite envy him.
In this life,
he was able to sincerely love someone. He didn't live in vain.
Mi'er, you should know
that he will never be grateful to you despite everything that you're doing for him now.
I don't need him to be grateful.
I owe him these.
What about me? What about our marriage?
Your Majesty, Immortal Tai Si brought urgent military report from the River of Forgetfulness boundary.
- I'll go back first. - Okay.
Why did you still come to see me?
Deity Lian Chao asked me to give you this.
After seeing this pearl, he saw his true heart and understood his disposition.
He already destroyed his primordial spirit.
Lian Chao...
This pearl is the convergence of thousands of colors in this world.
It's the most magnificent item in this world that you've wanted.
He'd rather sacrifice himself just to get you this item.
Why are you so stupid?
I just casually said it to you that time.
The Greater Truth Phoenix Feather is the most important item in our Phoenix Clan.
If you're able to obtain the most magnificent item in this world,
I'll gift it to you.
You're deliberately making things hard for me.
You clearly know that I was naturally born color blind.
But as long as you want it, I surely will offer it to you with both hands.
Deity Lian Chao was infatuated in loving you.
Have you ever regretted your choice?
This is Heaven Light. No container in this world can carry it.
Even the true form of a highly powerful shangshen can only endure it for 6 hours.
Tu Yao.
Lian Chao.
These are all our wonderful past that I've kept in my mind.
I really want to forget them, but I'm unable to.
When I saw that the product of converging all those thousands of colors is transparent,
I realized that the most magnificent item in this world
is the purest heart of a person in love.
I finally fulfilled my promise to you.
In this life, I have no more worries.
Lian Chao the most magnificent item that I wanted
is just supreme power.
