"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 29"
Looks like it's Heaven's will.
Heaven's will?
There's nothing!
There's nothing! There's nothing!
There's nothing!
You are not going back to Heaven Realm yet?
Your brilliant scheme got me really excited.
I can't help coming here and talk to you about it.
How did you come up with such a brilliant scheme?
It's just lots of practice in life.
I've tied many red threads for other people for many years,
but when it comes to romantic love, I can only speak theoretically.
It's a rare chance that I'm able to deeply research on it,
it's really a shame.
But it seems like I'll have much to learn from you.
You are too kind.
I heard that there's a place with good Osmanthus wine in this city.
It's famous and really nice.
- Why don't we have a drink and chat? - That's great.
I think that you and I hit it off instantly.
Let's have a great chat tonight.
But,
let me check on Phoenix first.
He... he's busy with official business.
There's nothing to see.
Also, he's just a mortal now.
You can't even speak with him,
why don't we have a good drink?
In this Mortal Realm,
every minute counts.
No...
Yan You, you're wrong.
When the mortals say every minute counts,
it's because they are talking about the joint cultivation.
If it's used on both of us, it's not approriate.
Ours should be a beautiful night.
- That's right. - A beautiful night. Let's go.
Master,
you two are getting quicker...
but still so boring.
Why won't you listen to me?
You!
Why won't you listen to me?
Why? Why?
Why won't you listen to me?
- Why won't you listen to me? - Master, what are you doing?
Stand up.
Li Er is still young, you could talk to him nicely.
Do you think my heart doesn't ache for him?
I've given him good food and clothing,
let him be a decent carp but he doesn't want to.
He's always rolling around in the mud pond.
Why? Why?
Why?
Go...
Li Er,
promise mother that...
you won't play in the mud pond again, okay?
You cannot lie to me.
If you lie to me, I will not let you off easily.
Do you understand?
- Do you understand? - Master.
Why don't you let Li Er go first? I have something to report to you.
Go.
That day you promised me that...
you'll help me to get back the Immortality Destructing Arrow.
Have you done it?
I'm useless,
I'm couldn't get it back.
You promised me!
You said you'll get the Immortality Destructing Arrow back.
Why did you lie to me?
You know I hate liars the most.
I don't dare to...
but maybe it is the Heaven's will.
Master, Xu Feng is indeed innocent.
Innocent?
He has a mother like that,
he's destined to pay the price for it.
I want his mother to have a taste of...
what's it like to lose a son.
Since you are unable to do it,
I'll do it myself.
Speak, where is the Immortality Destructing Arrow?
I'll bring the arrow back by myself...
and kill Xu Feng.
Has she gone mad?
Speak,
where is the Immortality Destructing Arrow?
I know I'm wrong.
I will think of a way to get it back.
Would you really kill Xu Feng for me?
Get up.
I'll believe you once more.
If you disappoint me again,
I will not let you off easily.
You must remember that...
from today onward, you are a red carp.
You are no longer a green snake,
do you understand, Li Er?
Call me mother.
Mother.
Good.
Good Li Er.
I will not let you suffer anymore, okay?
Okay.
Good.
Good Li Er.
I understand.
Li Er,
now this is my good Li Er.
I can't let her be mad like this anymore.
"Nanping Mansion"
Lord Nanping.
What's wrong?
The princess isn't eating anything?
No.
You two may go.
Yes.
My good daughter,
please eat something.
You are making my heart ache.
Rest assured.
I've already issued a wanted in the whole city to arrest that Pu Chi.
Tell me.
Do you want me to sentence him to death...
or dismember him?
You won't be able to catch him.
Are you complaining that I'm not capable to handle this?
But even I didn't expect...
Pu Chi to be so sly and shameless.
Maybe King Yi paid Pu Chi to set this show up.
How is this related to Xu Feng?
Okay, not related.
Not related.
All these mortals are so stupid.
My daughter,
what do you want me to do,
so that you'll be happy again?
I'm at the Mortal Realm right now. I'll have to depend on him.
Father, you should understand what's my only wish.
I understood.
But then I don't understand why...
you went to King Yi to ask him to grant you and Pu Chi to be married.
So now King Yi has ordered to cancel your marriage agreement with him.
This matter has come to a conclusion.
What else can I do?
I...
I'll think of a way.
I'll think of a way, okay?
You eat some food, okay?
Be good.
Please sit down.
Someone, please bring the princess some food.
I cannot allow Sui He to be obsessed like this.
Ji Chong, quickly send this letter to Liang Guo.
As fast as you can.
Yes.
Since you are heartless then don't blame me for being unrighteous.
You've hurt Sui He's heart.
I can't let you off easily.
When Liang Guo sends out troops,
you'll personally go to battle,
it'll be the time of your death.
My Lord,
Saintess is taking an afternoon nap.
She's been really tired lately.
Please leave, My Lord.
Your Highness,
Xu Feng made all these Phoenix Lanterns for Jin Mi.
I have something to ask you.
What a coincidence.
I have something to ask you too.
Since we are able to bump into each other here,
I guess we have the same thoughts.
Let me ask you,
why do you want the Immortality Destructing Arrow?
Also,
even though Rat Immortal admitted that...
it was him who used the Magical Flaming Pearl to attack Xun Feng...
and cleared your name.
But I'm afraid that...
he did it to cover you up.
What is your purpose actually?
Your Highness,
can you ask me the questions one by one?
There are so many questions, my mind can't comprehend it.
If you want to know all the answers to your questions,
please come to a place with me.
What's wrong? Are you worried that I'll hurt you?
Since you've thought that the Magical Flaming Pearl and I are related,
then you should know that I won't hurt you.
The answers you are looking for...
lie beneath the Dong Ting Lake.
Do you not remember this place?
Should I remember this place?
Don't you think that this place looks familiar to you?
It does feel familiar.
But...
but why do I feel afraid?
Looks like...
you are still not prepared to uncover the mystery.
Why do I feel so afraid when I'm standing close to this place?
It's fine.
If you don't want to go down there, I won't force you.
Although this matter is not urgent now...
it shouldn't be delayed anymore.
When you are prepared,
we will go to the bottom of the lake,
then all your answers will be revealed.
What did I do wrong?
Could it be that you got some courage a few days ago...
to tell the truth,
but ended up slipped off the tongue?
Why don't you tell me...
if your wife is unhappy,
what would you do to comfort her?
It depends on how unhappy she is.
If it's a general unhappiness,
I only have to buy something newfangled to comfort her.
If she is really unhappy...
what would you do?
Then I'll buy something more expensive.
Do you think Saintess is an ordinary woman?
I dare not.
You may retreat now.
I shall excuse myself.
Wait a moment.
Get those newfangled and expensive stuffs for me.
Roger.
If so,
why are you being so heartless?
Liu Ying, we belong to different worlds after all.
You will live a better life without me.
You said you engraved it by yourself.
You said memories will never be buried even after thousands of years.
You have been lying to me.
Your Highness.
You are back.
Kuang Lu.
Do you remember your childhood?
Of course, I do.
Do you remember the things that made you sad as well?
There is nothing to be sad about.
Even if I felt sad at the time,
when I look back now,
it is actually not a big deal.
As an immortal,
the most important thing is to live freely and easily.
You should think about the happy things.
If I could be like you,
it would be good.
Your Highness,
are you thinking about something sad?
No one is free from worries.
Time is like the rosary composed by the worries.
Those who are liberal...
will count the rosary with laughter.
Despite the obstacles today,
if you're able to remain calm and face it,
only then you can be liberal tomorrow.
Kuang Lu.
Can you come along with me to Dong Ting Lake?
Dong Ting Lake?
Wherever you go,
I swear to follow you even unto death.
What a beautiful place.
Why would you want to come here?
Perhaps...
there is a past that I want to confront.
You are not red carp, you can't play with us.
Go away! Go away!
A monster with horns on his head.
- Leave! - Leave!
Go away from Li Lake!
Your Highness.
Do you remember anything now?
You seem to be very familiar with Dong Ting Lake.
Let's go.
No! No, mother!
- No! - Li Er.
- No way, no! - Li Er.
Cut your horns...
and you will be like them.
No way, mother!
Don't, don't!
Mother!
No, mother!
No!
Your Highness.
Are you all right?
You have to be a good boy.
Don't, mother.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Yun Meng Lake.
This name is pretty nice.
"Li Lake"
Li Er.
Go to play with your friends.
Tell them...
you are actually a red carp.
You are not a little dragon.
Go ahead.
Go.
Your Highness.
What happened to you?
Yun Meng Lake.
Isn't it supposed to be Li Lake?
Your Highness.
Finally, you are here.
Please.
Master, Lord Night Immortal requests to see you.
Immortal Dong Ting,
Run Yu's paying respects to you.
Why would you give such a solemn salute?
I don't deserve it.
This is just the right thing to do. You deserve it, immortal.
I have some doubts.
I'm here to ask for your kind advice.
I've been living in a humble abode for a long time.
I'm isolated from the world.
I think you've got the wrong person, Supreme Immortal.
I've accidentally obtained a painting recently.
I've heard so much about Immortal Dong Ting's erudition.
Hence, I'm here to invite you to review it together.
Mother?
May I talk to Immortal Dong Ting in private?
I know nothing about painting.
I'm afraid that I have to let you down.
It's fine.
Then allow me to explain to you about this painting.
The Magical Flaming Pearl on the wrist of the woman in the painting...
is the treasure of Heaven Realm.
There are only 2 of them in the world.
Another one...
was presented by Heavenly Emperor to Heavenly Empress on their wedding.
It can be seen that the woman in the painting and Heavenly Emperor...
have a pretty close relationship.
Crimson dragon pearls fall all of a sudden.
Wish we will never be apart after meeting you today.
This acrostic poem which vows to each other is soulful.
The 2 words at the end of sentences formed "Su Li".
Stamp of Immortal Northern Star inscribed at the ending...
was the alias used by Heavenly Emperor in the early years.
He called himself that way when he was with someone close to him.
Very few people know about that.
Who can own a portrait that was painted by Heavenly Emperor...
and a poem gifted by his alias...
to express his affectionate?
Moreover,
when Rat Immortal was on trial,
he mentioned the name of Su Li repeatedly.
Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress's reactions were very unusual.
Heavenly Empress was jealous.
The relationship between Fairy Su Li and Heavenly Emperor...
has speaks for themselves.
I've been studying hard in Sheng Jing Court since I was a child.
My memory retains all the characters and their stories in the six realms.
Except for the name of Su Li, I feel familiar,
but I don't have any impression of it.
Just like my childhood memories,
it vanished without a trace.
It seems that...
Fairy Su Li was an old friend...
who was close to me when I was a child.
Someone purposely erased my childhood memory...
that's why I had forgotten this person...
and also this name.
Supreme Immortal, you have been thinking too much.
Your imaginative capability...
is really impressive.
Am I really thinking too much?
The dragon tribe of Heavenly Emperor practises the fire spell.
I'm from dragon tribe too,
but I practice the water spell.
It can be inferred that...
my birth mother was from water tribe.
Fairy Su Li in this painting...
was catching fish while treading the water.
She is most probably from water tribe too.
And the dragon pearls mentioned in the poem...
were formed by a mermaid's tear.
It just so happened that...
I have a string of it too.
I carry it since I was a kid...
and never leave it behind.
Su Li was dead since a long time ago.
Why must Supreme Immortal...
entangle with a dead person?
The day when Rat Immortal died,
he seemed to have conspired for a long time...
to avenge Fairy Su Li's death.
Apparently, Heavenly Emperor was estranged from Heavenly Empress...
and the bird tribe was struck.
However, in my view,
this composition was lack of an orderly planning and foresight.
In fact, it hasn't really shaken up the basis of bird tribe.
It was more like an escape trick...
by sacrificing Rat Immortal when Heavenly Empress revolted.
If we get to the bottom of this matter,
the only explanation would be...
Su Li is not dead.
Not only that she's not dead,
but she is behind the scene...
and preparing in secret...
to plan the actions over and over again.
She declares wars against Heavenly Empress repeatedly.
My son has finally grown up.
I heard that Night Immortal has incomparable intelligence.
After meeting you today, I find that you really live up to your name.
Just by the painting alone,
you are able to investigate thoroughly...
and making various inferences.
I wonder...
if what I said is true.
An inference is an inference after all.
You're the offspring of the noble.
You have Heavenly Emperor and Empress...
Heavenly Empress isn't my birth mother.
Because I'm the eldest son of Heavenly Emperor,
thus she has been trying to take control of me.
Over these thousands of years,
I've been missing my birth mother all the time.
Please go back, Supreme Immortal.
That time when Li Lake caught on fire,
your mother no longer exists.
I thought...
my mother does love me.
I thought it was the situation back then...
which led to the family separation.
I guessed the person in the painting correctly...
and the hidden meaning of the poem.
The only thing I can't guess is that...
the birth mother whom I've been missing day and night...
is avoiding me...
as if I'm a stranger.
I wonder if it's just my wishful thinking...
or you're being too ruthless.
Why wouldn't I love you?
But I'm taking a path of no return.
Trouble never ends.
Why would you be so persistent, Supreme Immortal?
You have another child who brings delights to you now.
I don't mean to get entangled.
I just want to ask you a question.
If I was really a disgrace to you,
why did you insist on giving birth to me?
If mother and father were loving each other,
why did you torture me...
and abandon me?
This was scalded by your Magical Flaming Pearls.
This scar was left when you unscaled me back then.
The scales at other parts have already grown.
Except for the skin of reverse scales.
It is a wound and pain of my entire life.
Everyone knows...
the reverse scales of a dragon can't be touched.
I can't imagine...
what kind of enmity...
would make a mother hurt her own child.
Stop it.
Please don't say it anymore!
You may go now.
Just go.
Go!
The one who gave birth to me,
the one who destroyed me,
the one who abandoned me,
it's all by my mother.
Both my mind and body are hurt,
they are covered with countless wounds.
It's all caused by my birth mother.
Please accept my respects again today...
to repay my birth mother for raising me up.
I'm not your mother!
You're not my son!
I'm not your mother.
Go away!
Hurry up!
Li Er.
Li Er!
Li Er.
You don't like these?
You're not interested in these too?
