"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 16"
This is the marriage contract...
father and Water Immortal wrote 4000 years ago.
Nice writings.
The words "Tai Wei" were powerfully written,
while "Luo Lin" are clear and elegant.
As for your name, Run Yu,
they're very natural and unique at the same time.
Fish Fairy,
you're even good at writing.
Indeed an immortal with a promising future.
It's nothing.
Please write down your name too, Fairy Jin Mi.
But...
- But my handwriting is not nice. - Doesn't matter.
Fine then.
"Jin"
"Jin Mi"
My writing is ugly.
If it affected your nice writings, don't blame me.
You're too humble, Jin Mi.
Your writings seem familiar.
It's like you've been taught by a skillful person.
What skillful person?
It was Phoenix who forced me to practise.
I learned writing from him for about 100 years.
I see.
Xu Feng is good at Feibai writings.
They're highly spirited and naturally eye-catching.
It's okay if there's only 1 character.
But if you write every word in Feibai writings,
it will seem too frivolous and out of line.
There will be many more days to come.
I'll teach you Xingcao and Weibei writings, okay?
Practise writing again?
Can I stop doing that?
I've been writing this way for a very long time.
And I've been writing like this since I learned to hold the writing brush.
I'm used to it already.
- You may leave. - Yes.
Little Goody.
See. What's this?
Eat it.
Here.
Fine. I'll put it on the ground. Eat it yourself.
Go on.
Good boy.
Here.
Eat it.
What a good boy.
You'll still young,
but you've learned to yield to soft approach but not to force.
Not bad.
I've nothing valuable to give to you.
But the beast of dream is quite rare.
If you like it,
I'll let it follow you wherever you go.
After some time,
when it gets stronger and bigger,
you can ride on it.
Please don't disdain it.
Why would I?
Riding a deer can save more energy than flying.
Isn't it, Goody?
I'll be counting on you.
I'll try my best to not get fat, okay?
Alright. Go play on your own.
Good boy. Bye.
Fairy Jin Mi,
I'm very poor.
I only have the chilly night as my companion for the entire life.
I'm not notable and have very few friends.
All I have...
is only some animals and a simple house.
If you marry me in the future, you might suffer.
Will you disdain me?
I heard that every girl has to get married.
Marrying anyone sounds the same.
Not to mention he's so powerful.
My prowess will get stronger if we cultivate together.
I won't disdain you.
I think it's a good deal.
When will we start cultivating then?
Relax.
From today onward,
I will call you Mi Er. Is it okay?
Of course.
Look at this flower,
it has quite an attitude.
So many days have passed,
but it's still covering itself.
I wonder when will it fully bloom.
Do you know that...
there's a beautiful yet pity story about the night-blooming cereus.
Really? What story is that?
It's said that 10 thousand years ago,
a night-blooming cereus fell in love...
with a supreme immortal, Wei Tian, who watered it everyday.
It bloomed every day and every season.
But,
it didn't know that...
the supreme immortal it loved only wanted to cultivate.
He had given up all his desires.
It waited for the supreme immortal for thousands of years,
but he had never once looked at it.
And every midsummer night,
the supreme immortal would go down the mountain to collect dew to make tea.
By then, the night-blooming cereus would choose...
to use up its essence for the entire year...
to show its most beautiful moment.
But it didn't know.
It's not that the supreme immortal wouldn't love.
But he had chosen to follow the right path to Taoism,
he belonged to the universe,
he couldn't love.
It was such a pitiful story.
Then this flower carries a bad omen.
I'll give you another flower later.
Why is it bad omen?
All thanks to this night-blooming cereus...
that you are here, admiring it with me.
Wait patiently for a few hours more.
I'll go set up the night sky then.
- See you tonight, at 9 o'clock. - Okay, Fish Fairy.
Who is so daring to break through Southern Heavenly Gate?
After him!
It's me.
Your Highness.
Po Jun has reported that someone intruded Southern Heavenly Gate.
The intruder seems to be Snake Fairy. We're capturing him now.
What a fancy finding by sheer luck.
I was about to find him. Send more men.
Make sure to help Po Jun catch Yan You alive tonight.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Send someone to get Night Immortal.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Go now.
Liao Ting.
Your Highness.
Hand the box to Jin Mi for me.
And apologise to her.
Tell her I'm occupied tonight,
I can go as promised.
I'll see her another day.
Your Highness, Jin Mi treated you like this,
why are you still giving her rice dumpling with magical prowess...
and even apologise to her?
- I feel pity for you. - What's there to pity? Go now.
"Jia Zi Mansion"
What is it?
My censer was slightly moved.
This is bad.
Someone was here.
Are you sure it wasn't because of the wind?
Anything strange?
Luckily,
they don't seemed to be touched.
Come on, Rat Immortal,
you've fixed me pretty good last time.
After you released your rat,
my body was added with a lot of extra wounds for nothing.
You shouldn't have saved Jin Mi that day.
I'm afraid the Heavenly Empress and Fire Immortal...
have started to suspect both of us now.
Jin Mi's true identity is revealed.
This is enough for us to achieve our goal.
How can I just watch my delicate beauty...
being eaten by that old hen?
You're so protective over her.
Did you fall for her?
Do you know who she is?
I do. The daughter of Water Immortal, right?
She has a marriage contract with Night Immortal,
and is also close to Fire Immortal.
Judging from my experience,
the 2 brothers...
will fight each other out of jealousy one day.
- That's a good thing. - You...
That being the case, why are you still screwing around with her?
Jin Mi is my good friend.
She's a simple girl.
I feel bad for dragging her into this.
By the way, master sent me to hand Water Immortal a letter.
The people of Qi Wu Palace is watching Luo Xiang Mansion lately.
Luckily I stopped you today.
Otherwise, you'd be walking into the trap.
Fire Immortal has started to suspect Water Immortal?
But he's not doing anything.
I wonder what he's got up his sleeve.
Same as usual.
You'll give him the letter.
I've tested him for a few times.
Water Immortal has never opened master's letters.
He even returned all the previous letters.
This morning, he told me clearly that...
he's just reunited with his daughter. All he wants is to enjoy the reunion.
He's not interested in our plan.
I think...
there's no need to draw him over anymore.
If he wants to have a peaceful life,
he'll first have to ask the Heavenly Empress.
- Then the letter... - Fine.
The situation is always changing.
Jin Mi and Night Immortal are getting married.
The Heavenly Empress won't just wait and see.
Water Immortal will have no other choice by then.
I'll keep this letter for future planning.
Oh no!
What is it?
The letters are gone.
Looks like I've been exposed. You can't stay here anymore.
No need to look for Water Immortal.
Leave now.
I can't leave you in danger alone. Let's leave together.
Have you ever seen a rat that failed to escape?
Don't worry.
Fairy Jin Mi.
That's the Fire Immortal's reading assistant, Jin Mi.
So, this is the fairy?
Luckily she's going to marry Night Immortal.
If not, more people will get hurt.
I heard something funny yesterday.
Fire Immortal gave Jin Mi his Huan Di Phoenix Feather.
Really?
Huan Di Phoenix Feather is the most sacred object in phoenix family.
It can protect someone.
It can only be given to the closest person.
On Heavenly Empress's wedding day,
she gave her Huan Di Phoenix Feather...
to Heavenly Emperor as a token.
But now, the Fire Immortal...
What an evil creature.
I didn't do anything bad, how am I evil?
- Jin Mi, we've made indiscreet remark. - Please forgive us.
Let's go.
What is it?
Alright. I know.
That way. Let's go.
Slowly.
Go slowly, Little Goody.
Come on, let's admire the flower together.
You're really happy, huh?
Alright.
Go slowly.
No way.
Is it already night time now?
Tomorrow night,
by Lake Liuzi.
Wait for me there.
Tomorrow night.
Isn't that now?
Oh my goodness.
Phoenix must be very angry that he'd kill me.
Guai Guai, play on your own. I'll be going.
Guai Guai, enough.
The flower has not bloomed yet, right?
I'll admire it with you when it blooms, okay?
Stop biting me.
Stop pulling me. Be good. Let go of me.
Aren't you the servant, Liao Ting from Qi Wu Palace?
You're...
You're the servant of Night Immortal, right?
Yes, I am.
Why are you here?
Fire Immortal sends me to hand something to Jin Mi.
I went to Luo Yang Mansion,
but the servant there said that she's here today.
That's why I'm here.
You've worked hard.
Why not let me help you give it to her?
Then you can get to rest earlier. Okay?
Excuse me, didn't you hear it?
Fire Immortal said that...
I have to personally hand this to Jin Mi herself.
Why?
Does Xuan Ji Palace want to hold it up?
I was just being kind by offering to help.
You're too skeptical.
Jin Mi is already engaged to Night Immortal.
By right, we from Xuan Ji Palace...
don't have to see you.
Get in line, okay?
Jin Mi knew Fire Immortal first.
How can Night Immortal steal people's love?
Get in line?
Great.
Fairy Jin Mi and Night Immortal's marriage was decided 4000 years ago.
Speaking of stealing love,
it's Fire Immortal that's being unruly.
Fine.
I don't want to see her anyway.
Fire Immortal said to apologise to Jin Mi.
Tell her that...
he's occupied tonight. He can't go as promised.
He'll see her another day.
I've done my part.
Don't you mess up.
Should Fire Immortal ask about it,
I'd be looking for you.
Okay.
Stop biting me, Little Goody.
Be good.
Let me go, okay?
Stop biting me.
Stop pulling me. Be good. Be good.
I really have something to do.
I'll be dead if I'm late.
Little Goody!
Fairy Jin Mi.
You're just in time.
Please tell it to stop pulling me.
I have something to do now.
Are you going to meet the second prince?
I am.
He seems to have something.
This is sent by the people from Qi Wu Palace.
For me?
Rice dumpling with magical prowess?
According to those in Qi Wu Palace,
Second Prince can't make it as he has something to do now.
What a temperamental birdy.
When will Fish Fairy come back?
His Highness has been called by the second prince...
for a discussion when he was on his way back.
It may take some time.
Seems like Phoenix still cares about me.
I have something to tell you.
Please.
Since you are engaged to His Highness,
we shouldn't intertwine with the people from Qi Wu Palace any longer,
don't you think so?
It's not good for you,
His Highness and also the second prince.
Marriage is predestined.
Just leave all the mess in the past behind.
Marriage? The mess in the past?
What does she mean?
This bird and beast,
both of them asked me out,
yet both of them stood me up.
What a good rapport.
Where are they doing?
I see.
That must be a place...
that can't be reach without joint cultivation.
They are really stingy.
They should have called me to join the joint cultivation.
Forget it. I'll eat these rice dumpling.
I've blocked Southern and Northern Heavenly Gate and all the exits...
to seize him.
I'll bring people to encircle him after we catch him,
it doesn't matter even if he resists with all his might.
After he is being lured out...
After that, count on me.
I fought with that man in black before.
If Yan You shows one-third of his attainment,
I will be able to identify it.
I have a feeling, it is highly likely that...
that snake is the man in black.
I thought that the engagement between Jin Mi and I...
would make us drift away from each other.
I never thought that you would care for me.
Why would you say so?
That's another issue.
It involves your reputation.
Moreover, the man in black is coming at me.
Hence, I have to clear your name...
and give you an explanation.
Your Highness,
Snake Immortal is heading to Xuan Ji Palace.
Oh, no!
Jin Mi is still in my palace.
Looking at the flower...
while eating rice dumplings with magical prowess,
this is as happy as the immortals.
This is a rice dumpling with 500 years of magical prowess,
it seems that Phoenix is getting more generous.
The flowers' shadow on the wall moved, seems like my beauty has arrived.
Pu Chi, come out.
You got me.
Beauty.
Could it be that you are also thinking of me?
Among all my friends, there is nobody else but you...
who can be so shameless and read such a shallow poem.
Night-blooming cereus is also called the beauty under the moon.
Tonight, a beauty under the moon is appreciating a beauty under the moon.
Good things do come in pairs.
Don't you think the Fire Immortal...
and Night Immortal are crazy?
They pay no attention to a beauty under the moon...
but they want to kill an innocent snake.
They want to catch you?
Are they making you into snake soup or medicinal liquor?
You are even more cruel than they do.
In short,
Po Jun was chasing after me,
I had no choice but to come here.
So, I'm here to bid farewell to you.
I wonder when we can meet again after I leave.
Do you really mean it?
Do they really want to catch you?
How can I help you?
What about this?
Let's pretend that you kidnap me. Hold a knife and put it on my neck.
Do you have a knife?
I'll get you a knife. Wait for me.
Come back here.
Did you read too many legends?
I don't want to be ground into dust by the Fire Immortal.
Didn't you say that they want to catch you?
What can I do?
It seems that you are not hopeless yet.
You won't get into such a plight...
if you've learned from the beginning.
Is there any misunderstanding?
I mean, if there is any misunderstanding,
we can actually sit down and have a chat.
Misunderstanding can be solved.
Come over here.
I'm not going there.
I'll go there if you let him go.
Go ahead.
I don't need a little grape to keep me safe.
Take him down.
No way.
What did he do wrong?
Why are so many people attacking him?
I'll explain to you later.
Pu Chi!
You are right on time, Fish Fairy.
But are you here to stop them or to fight?
If you're here to fight, you don't have to.
I guess Phoenix will perish him by himself.
Please ask them to stop fighting, Fish Fairy.
Please stop them.
Don't worry.
I've come to verify something to prove my innocence.
Don't worry, we're not taking his life yet.
Pu Chi!
Yan You.
Your water spell doesn't seem too bad.
I wonder how long can you take it...
when you're facing the Grand Master of Water Spell, Lord Night Immortal.
Night Immortal only practises water spell,
you may enhance your attack...
by using fire prowess if you can't defeat him.
Magical Flaming Pearl? It's him.
Leave now.
Rat Immortal?
I want to see the Heavenly Emperor.
- Your Highness. - After him.
Copy that. Let's go.
So you have a confederate too.
Please allow me to change my clothes.
The truth will be revealed in front of Heavenly Emperor.
Watch him.
Beware if he commits suicide.
Copy that.
Go.
Since we've aroused Her Majesty's attention on the birthday banquet,
just attack them when they are unprepared,
reveal it to the Heavenly Emperor.
This is the troop arrangement of bird tribe.
I gathered this information when I was...
playing chess with Elder Yin Que in Niao Yu Continent.
Please hand it to our master on behalf of me.
Give it to him by yourself.
Take it.
Don't turn back.
Stay out of today's matter.
Don't be impulsive, Immortal.
We can make another plan no matter what.
Leave!
Promise me.
We will discuss it again by Dong Ting Lake in early March.
All right.
The day when Fire Immortal was undergoing Nirvana,
Night Immortal was hurt, Fire Immortal was attacked by a sleet.
Did you do all of these?
I am guilty.
I'm here to confess today.
I tried to kill Fire Immortal and attacked Night Immortal.
I admit all the crimes.
Do you know...
how serious it is to harm the son of Heavenly Emperor?
The Heavenly Empress has arrived!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, you're just in the right time.
Fire Immortal and Night Immortal have caught the man in black.
That's great.
Go on with your trial.
I wish to know who is that bold man...
who has the courage to harm the son of Heavenly Emperor.
Do you have any witness and evidence?
Father,
the night when Fire Immortal was undergoing Nirvana...
I was accidentally hurt by Magical Flaming Pearl...
when I was fighting with the man in black.
Tonight, Rat Immortal put the attire again...
and broke into Xuan Ji Palace.
We found an evidence on Rat Immortal.
Where does this Magical Flaming Pearl come from?
A present from an old friend.
Old friend?
Magical Flaming Pearl is the greatest treasure in Heaven Realm.
Your immortal ranking is low,
who gave it to you?
What's the enmity between Night Immortal, Fire Immortal and you...
that make you lay murderous hands on them?
It's not about enmity.
It's indignation.
Indignation?
Tell me,
is Yan You, the Snake Immortal your confederate?
He is good-for-nothing
He abducted Fairy Jin Mi in the birthday banquet and ruined my plan,
why would I form alliance with him?
Plan?
What plan do you have?
Who on earth gave you the order to kill Fire Immortal?
And who was the one who instructed you to interrupt my birthday banquet?
Was it the Water Immortal...
or Night Immortal?
Father.
Mother is making biased assumption,
that isn't righteous
Father.
That was just a rage as mother is very concerned about it,
I hope you would understand.
Heavenly Empress,
mind your words.
Heavenly Empress needs not to use me to frame others...
in order to remove the traitors.
It's all done by me.
What a fearless Rat Immortal.
Let me see if you can bear it.
Bring it up.
It's Heavenly Empress. As I expected.
Your Majesty,
I've been looking everywhere.
Snake Immortal is deceitful, no one knows his whereabouts.
Thus, we can't found him yet.
I went to Rat Immortal Mansion to get him but he wasn't there.
However, I found his secret letters...
with various immortals.
Please have a look, Your Majesty.
Hurry and bring Rat Immortal here secretly.
Yes.
These are the letters between Rat Immortal and the other immortals.
Please have a look, Your Majesty.
Let's see who is close to him.
You're invited to have a chess match by Dong Ting Lake 15 days later,
from the Water Immortal.
It's just a chess match.
Why must you go all the way to the mortal world?
It must be a conspiracy.
Summon Water Immortal.
Roger.
What's the conspiracy between you and Water Immortal?
What's the secret in Dong Ting Lake?
I have been playing chess with Water Immortal for many years.
We only plan to play chess on a boat...
to kill our time.
We have found Xuan Ji Brocade Palindrome in your mansion.
What's your explanation?
It's just a letter to express my feelings.
You took it too far, Your Majesty.
Look at yourself.
I'm afraid you've used witchcraft...
and make a secret deal with Water Immortal.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Why would Water Immortal's personal belonging be in my Jia Zi Mansion?
It's a smokescreen.
Could it be that you've kept it in his Luo Xiang Mansion...
or Xuan Ji Palace?
This is the manual of Destructing Sleet.
It is a forbidden deadly water spell.
Someone has been conspiring...
to kill our Xu Feng.
I hope you would investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty.
We'd rather kill wrong than to miss anyone.
Water Immortal has arrived.
Rat Immortal.
Greetings, Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.
I'm told that the man in black who ambushed Fire Immortal...
has been captured.
You're right. We are conducting an investigation now.
You may listen together, Water Immortal.
Since there is no grudge...
between Fire Immortal, Night Immortal and you,
why would you do that?
Who told you about the forbidden spell?
Who is the person who instructed you?
The secret manuscript of Destructing Sleet and Magical Flaming Pearl...
actually originated from you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you may recall that...
whom have you ever given...
these 2 treasures to.
No one instructed me to do all these.
I did all these without instruction.
It's just my indignation.
Blame it on the fact that...
Fire Immortal is the son of Heavenly Empress.
Useless rat!
How dare you be so presumptuous!
Today, I will be presumptuous...
to reveal your sins to the public.
Tu Yao!
Since you've ascended the throne of Heavenly Empress,
you exploit your power to reform the bird tribe.
