"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 58"
Mi Er.
I was thinking...
the chiefs of Flora Realm and you are like mothers and daughter.
I want to invite them to our wedding to be our witnesses.
And also to thank them for raising you.
What do you think?
You decide it then.
Mi Er, let me show you something.
Mi Er.
Choose the most beautiful paper for the wedding invitations.
You are the daughter of Flora Immortal.
All of the Chiefs will like the paper of your choice.
As I see it,
they are actually the same.
It's up to you.
It's better if you choose.
As it is a wedding ceremony,
then just choose...
the red colour that matches the joyful occasion.
Just choose.
This colour then.
I'm not sure if I chose the right one.
As long as you like it,
it would be the best.
It seems...
It seems like I got the right one.
My Lord.
How is Liu Ying?
She hasn't left the house for 3 days.
She hasn't drunk anything.
I don't know what should I say to her.
I'll go and see her.
Xu Feng, father.
Sorry for making you worried for the past few days.
Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to me,
because...
I'm pregnant with Mu Ci's baby.
I will let our love live.
Father, can you make me some food?
All right, all right.
I will ask the chefs to prepare your favourite dishes.
Xu Feng, King of Gucheng had colluded with Run Yu...
to capture Mu Ci and make Immortality Destructing Arrow to fight you.
The battle between us and Heaven Realm is inevitable.
Promise me,
by that time, allow me to avenge Mu Ci.
Xu Feng, have some desserts.
What happened?
I'm fine. Go back first.
Why are you hiding your hand behind you back then?
- Let me see. - I told you I'm fine!
What's going on with your ear?
That's Jin Mi's fault.
Jin Mi intended to kill me in Jiu Ying Cave.
If you didn't come in time,
not only my ear would get hurt.
Xu Feng.
I have an ugly scar on my ear now,
will you despise me?
Why would I?
Good then.
You have no idea.
I've been having nightmares since that day.
You have to avenge me.
All right. Go back first.
I have some duties to attend to.
Well then.
I'm leaving now. Rest early.
Glass fire?
Xu Feng, you think Sui He has been lying to you?
Uncle sounded very serious back then.
In fact, I was hesitating.
Yesterday,
I accidentally saw a scar caused by Water Limbo Palm on Sui He's ear.
She said she was hurt by Jin Mi Jiu Ying Cave not long ago.
But the scar doesn't seem to be a new scar.
She's very suspicious.
Water Limbo Palm?
Wasn't that the late Water Immortal proudest skill when he was alive?
If the culprit who murdered Water Immortal and Wind Immortal...
is Sui He,
then, can she use glass fire?
I went to Jiu Ying Cave again just now.
That was a trace of glass fire.
The prowess is comparable with mine.
However, Sui He has always been delicate.
She used her magical prowess to sustain my physical soul.
How does she gain such a refined prowess?
I want to find out the culprit who killed Water Immortal and framed me,
but I don't want to accuse the innocent.
You'll know whether it's true if you put her in a test.
No way. That'd make me a heartless man.
How could I do that to Mu Ci?
Xu Feng, you are worrying too much.
No matter how perfect Sui He thinks you are,
Mu Ci is still the best to me,
I never care about what others think.
Hence, you don't have to feel sorry for anyone.
Stay!
Why did you stop me?
I'm a friend of Water Immortal.
Heavenly Emperor has ordered that before the wedding ceremony,
outsiders are not allowed to enter Xuan Ji Palace.
I'm not an outsider. I'm...
Mi Er.
Both of these blockheads won't let me in.
- Don't be rude to the immortal. - Hold on.
Immortal.
He is my friend. Let him in.
But His Majesty has ordered...
If His Majesty blames you, ask him to come to me then.
Roger.
Let's go.
Run Yu is getting pettier.
How could he stop me from meeting you?
I think he's afraid that you will run away with me.
Mi Er,
do you seriously want to be Heavenly Empress?
I can tell you that...
the role of Heavenly Empress requires extraordinary talents.
With your ability...
It's not that I underestimate you but you're just average.
Average?
I know.
Are you trying to tell me that my magical prowess is weak?
Of course not.
I know...
your current magical prowess cannot be compared with the past.
But look,
among all the previous Heavenly Empresses,
they were all wicked, merciless and insidious.
They were hypocritical and malignant, hid their sharp claws in velvet paws.
I don't think you have any of these characteristics.
Not to mention the former Heavenly Empress.
You can't even be compared with Sui He.
Don't be sad.
I didn't mean it that way.
I mean,
in terms of evilness, scheming and manipulation,
can you compete with her?
You are right.
Compared to Sui He,
I'm very silly.
I'm so silly that...
I killed the wrong person when I avenged my father.
Aren't I silly?
The sea of bitterness has no bounds, repent and the shore is at hand.
Why don't you run away from the wedding?
If you are willing to have an affair with me,
I will take you away.
Here we go again.
Stop talking nonsense.
Run Yu has made a lot of sacrifices for me.
I will not change my mind anymore.
Let me ask you one question then.
Do you love him?
If you marry him,
there's no turning back.
Your Majesty.
Why did she choose a green paper?
She should be able to distinguish the colours.
Was she distracted or does she have any dissatisfaction?
That's why she chose this paper to criticise me.
Perhaps there are some other hidden meanings.
Now that Your Majesty mentions it,
something's not right with Water Immortal lately.
What is it?
Recently, Water Immortal has planted Phoenix Flowers in Qi Wu Palace.
However, the flowers are grey in colour.
Really?
I saw it with my own eyes.
Why can't she distinguish the colours?
I get it.
You may excuse yourself now, Kuang Lu.
Yes.
You're just in time, Mi Er.
Kuang Lu has just brought me a pomegranate cake.
I have just had breakfast.
Why don't you try it for me?
Your Majesty.
Kuang Lu prepared it for you.
You should enjoy it yourself.
Actually,
Kuang Lu...
Kuang Lu has been working with you for quite some time.
She...
is really nice.
I don't mind if you want to have Heavenly Concubines.
Just do it if you're fond of anyone.
It's very kind of you to do that for me.
Mi Er.
To be honest with you,
I'm not afraid if you don't like me,
but I'm afraid of your occasional kindness.
Xu Feng.
What is happening, Xu Feng?
Why are you so cold?
Get out.
What's happening, Xu Feng?
Don't tell anyone about this.
We are getting married soon, but look at you.
What's going on? Can you tell me?
Don't worry. I'll be fine soon.
Elixir.
Someone must have tampered with the elixir.
Wait a moment.
Kuang Lu.
You are just in time.
I just recalled...
that day, Immortal Taisi mentioned about your marriage.
I'm thinking about...
Didn't I tell you my thought already?
Why would Your Majesty talk about it again?
There are so many talented men among the immortals in Heaven Realm.
No matter who you're fond of,
I will definitely grant you a good match.
Are you doing this...
to drive me away?
I understand Your Majesty's thought.
I know what's the answer to it.
But I don't want anything else.
I just wish to stay by your side all the time.
- Kuang Lu. - Your Majesty.
I will forget about what you said today.
Once I step out from this door,
everything will go back to how it used to be.
Can you please promise me?
If Your Majesty doesn't speak,
I will assume you've agreed.
Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor,
good night.
I shall excuse myself.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
Never wished to get into dispute,
but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart wilts away...
It seems like...
I still can't get over you.
Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.
My only hope is a life with no regrets where I drift away with the flowers.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still...
Why did you sneak into Heaven Realm in the middle of the night?
An honest man doesn't do anything underhand.
Heavenly Emperor should know why I would come here.
You've always been manipulative. Hence, I have no idea.
If you have a clear conscience,
why would you close your door and windows?
I'm just trying to save your face.
I'll only ask you one question.
Did you tamper with Lord Lao's elixir?
I thought something had happened.
So it's just a trivial matter.
I just removed a herb that has excessive heat from the elixir.
I knew it.
The rest of the world thinks that...
Heavenly Emperor is deeply in love with Water Immortal.
Little do they know,
Heavenly Emperor would actually manipulate and lie to his beloved one.
You knew that Xu Feng had a soul remained.
You also knew that once Jin Mi got the elixir,
she would certainly save Xu Feng.
You knew that he's of fiery nature, he fears the cold the most.
You purposely removed the fiery element of the medicine,
you've caused him to be counteracted by the elixir.
I assume Water Immortal doesn't know that...
her role as a pawn has worked perfectly.
If someone enlightens her right now...
You seem to have nothing to hide.
Did you tell the demon that...
you are the culprit who killed late Water Immortal...
and you're not the one who helped him to revive?
Now,
Xu Feng's attainments are growing each day.
He doesn't even care about the pain of the counteraction.
You're too much of a worry wart.
So what if Xu Feng knows that he was saved by Jin Mi?
If it weren't for Jin Mi's fatal stab,
how would he vanish into ashes?
Instead, Jin Mi,
if she knows that...
you already knew it wasn't Xu Feng who murdered late Water Immortal...
but you've been hiding it from her and misleading her,
I wonder how would she react.
You'd better don't do the silly thing.
You are going to marry him soon.
If this matter is exposed,
are you not afraid that your dream will vanish?
If you tell me what the missing medicine is,
after getting out of this door,
I will pretend nothing has ever happened.
If I tell you,
will you believe it?
If you insist on having it your way,
then I will make the last-ditch effort to struggle to death.
After inheriting the magical prowess from the dethroned Heavenly Empress,
you've gained a lot of confidence.
How did you know that?
When I saw the scar of Water Limbo Palm behind your ear,
I started to feel suspicious.
Then, Tu Yao lost all of her prowess in just one night.
I have already guessed it.
Nowadays,
Jin Mi and the rest already know...
you are the culprit who killed Luo Lin and Lin Xiu.
However,
that time, Xu Feng did not believe what Jin Mi said.
If I hand the evidence to Xu Feng now, what will he do?
You...
Here's my advice to you.
Keep your lips sealed.
Behave yourself and marry him is the only right way.
Under his protection, you can still stay alive.
If you fall into my hands someday,
as the world knows,
Heavenly Emperor has made a Supreme Immortal Oath...
and vowed to avenge her father's death on behalf of Water Immortal.
So, you are taking advantage of me to detain Xu Feng...
and cut all the ties between them.
You are unscrupulous.
Same to you.
Take your time. Goodbye.
Somebody comes.
Burn the incense and clean up the room.
Mi Er.
It's late now.
Why are you not sleeping yet?
Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
Is there anything that you want me to do for you?
What do you mean, Mi Er?
I don't get it.
I have heard the conversation between you and Sui He just now.
Do you still need me to do anything for you?
Perhaps...
help you...
help you to kill someone else?
Mi Er.
Listen to me.
Don't talk to me that way.
I will be terrified.
I'm the one who's terrified!
I have nothing left now.
You've used every inch of me.
I don't have any value anymore.
You can let me go now.
Seriously.
I beg you.
Can you please let me go?
Mi Er.
Look at me, look closely.
I love you.
I really love you.
Don't be afraid of me. Don't leave me.
You don't love me at all!
From the very beginning, you only love yourself.
You were just lying and said that you love me.
You lied to my father and told him that you love me.
You lied to the chiefs and told them that you love me.
You lied to everyone and said that you love me!
In the end, even you're deceived by your own lie.
But you don't love me.
- You don't love me! - No!
Listen.
You can feel it.
You can feel it, right?
You can feel my love for you, right?
I am not that stupid!
You approached me from the beginning...
just because I was close to Xu Feng.
You wanted to spy on him.
After that,
you suspected I'm the daughter of Water Immortal.
On Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet,
you saw how I transformed a hailstone,
you were even more certain that I'm the daughter of Water Immortal.
And that day,
when my father and I were outside the Northern Heavenly Gate,
you saw my father,
but you pretended that you didn't see him. Why?
You used the fact that I know nothing about love...
and tricked me into saying I like you.
Your purpose was to let my father believed that I like you!
Because you were afraid!
You were afraid that father would call off our engagement.
Because you were afraid that my father wouldn't be your support!
You wanted my father to fight against Xu Feng with you,
am I right?
You allowed me to go to Qi Wu Palace.
You allowed Xu Feng to visit me.
You were just taking advantage of me to detain him.
You gifted me the beast of dream to keep watch over me.
You already knew who had killed my father.
And you,
you're not only good at manipulating,
but you are also a gambler!
On the wedding day,
you made a bet.
You bet that...
You bet Xu Feng would break in.
You bet I would kill Xu Feng.
Am I right?
Divine Army were never there. There was nothing!
You had only one bet.
Your bet was me.
I was just your bargaining chip.
I was only your bargaining chip!
You are horrifying.
How did you do that?
You were so careful, every step you took was flawless.
You used everyone in the world as your pawn.
But,
still, you manage to deceive everyone into thinking that...
you are the most innocent and the kindest man in the world.
It's you.
You made me killed the person who I love the most.
You made me kill Phoenix.
You made me kill the person...
the person who loved me the most.
You are the Heavenly Emperor now.
You have everything that you ever wanted.
Nowadays, the entire world adores and respects you.
What else do you want?
All I ever want is Phoenix.
But why wouldn't you let me?
Now that Phoenix doesn't love me anymore.
He hates me!
He is marrying the culprit who killed my father.
Congratulations!
You have everything that you ever wanted.
Please.
Let me go.
Can you please let me go?
Mi Er.
How could I let you go?
How could I let you go, Mi Er?
I love you.
I love you so much that it hurts.
I am so in love with you that I can't free myself from it.
Everything I did... I did it for you.
I've become who I am for you.
I saw your dream.
In the dream,
you and him...
both of you were intimate.
Do you ever know how did I feel?
I wished I could destroy my spirit!
I never asked for anything...
until I met you.
It's you.
You made me let my guard down.
You gave me the warmth that I haven't felt for a long time.
Only you.
I will never let you go.
The past events taught me that...
if I want to defend the ones I love,
I have to be patient.
I have to be stronger...
to make everyone submit to my command!
I did it.
Mi Er.
Now that you're staying by my side.
Though you had been going to the Demon Realm to find him,
I can turn a blind eye to it as long as you stay by my side!
After that...
After that, you seldom went there.
You even...
you even agreed to marry me.
Do you know how happy I was?
I was even thinking,
as long as we can get married,
as long as I can be with you forever,
I'm willing to quit being the Heavenly Emperor!
Enough!
You don't even know what love is.
You never deserve to be loved.
Please don't profane the word of love.
From now on,
no matter what you say,
I will never believe it.
Mi Er.
I was wrong.
I was so wrong.
It's fine if you don't trust me...
it's fine if you don't love me...
you could even hate me...
but...
you must never leave me.
You're not wrong.
It's my fault.
I've made an outrageous mistake.
What a beautiful fish scale.
It's a dragon scale.
Since you gave me such a precious present...
of course I would cherish it.
I would cherish it.
In the future, if we get married...
you might not be treated fairly.
Would you mind?
Of course not.
I think it's quite a deal.
You're indeed a rare talent in the Heaven Realm.
I have faith in you.
Mi Er is playful,
so I built a rainbow bridge with the mist.
No matter where she is...
she'll find the way home whenever she looks up.
I've never asked for much.
I just hope that you would love me a little more day by day...
month by month...
year by year...
for my entire life.
Can you do that?
I hope these memories never fade.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
I hope these memories never fade.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
Mi Er.
I was wrong...
but I will never regret.
Immortal.
- Go away. - Don't do that.
Immortal.
This is the last chance. Speak up now.
Please don't do that.
It took Supreme Lord Lao 81 days to produce this elixir pill.
Hurry up.
Water Immortal, please don't do that.
Let's have a talk. Don't be impulsive.
Alright, Supreme Lord Lao. Answer my question.
You must not deceive me this time round.
What did you do to the Nine Spins Elixir?
What is the ingredient that's missing from the elixir?
Well... I...
Okay.
Stop it. Okay.
Don't! I'll tell you.
Nothing is missing from the Nine Spins Elixir.
I've added Baiwei instead.
Baiwei is a herb of cold nature.
It clashes with Fire Immortal's body.
Therefore, it caused an adverse effect to Fire Immortal.
It has never occurred to me that you're involved in this.
I'm ashamed of myself.
No doubt the Heavenly Emperor is the culprit behind this...
but you're part of it.
If the news gets around...
your prestige in Heaven Realm will be tainted.
You're right.
To be frank,
I've been living in guilt for quite some time.
It's never too late to mend.
Please tell me what is the antidote.
We must not let His Majesty remain impenitent.
Pengyu is the antidote.
Pengyu?
Do you mean the rare herb in Flora Realm...
which takes a million years to grow?
Yes. Pengyu is delicate in nature.
After being removed from its original habitat...
it'll rot in 3 days.
Why are you here?
Let me go.
Don't repeat your mistake.
Let go.
Let go of me.
Let go.
Let go of me.
- What are you doing? - Stop moving.
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Mi Er.
Let me tell you...
I'll never let you go.
Our wedding tomorrow will be held as scheduled.
Are you crazy? You...
Mi Er.
I won't allow you to leave me.
You look gloomy.
Guess you're still unable to make up your mind.
It has been years.
Don't you want to know the truth?
Aren't you curious who is the culprit...
who had framed you after murdering the previous Water Immortal...
and put you in such misery?
The closer I'm to the truth, the more afraid I get.
Looks like you know it very well.
When I was in the Heaven Realm,
I used to abhor evils as deadly foes.
To me, life is either black or white.
In order to find out the assassin who framed Run Yu...
and attempted to murder me,
I'd used some tactics.
It has never occurred to me that...
so many people are involved in it.
Yan You,
Rat Immortal,
Su Li, Water Immortal...
and also the whole Water Tribe in Dong Ting Lake...
no one had survived the misfortune.
Even my parents got sucked into the row.
So what if the truth is unraveled?
Husband and wife fall out of love...
siblings fight with each other...
father and son turn against and revenge each other.
In the game that had shaken up the Heaven Realm...
no one won.
A mistake will always be a mistake.
Someone has to be held responsible for making the mistake.
Water Immortal and Wind Immortal were brutally murdered...
and you get the blame.
If we let the murderer get off scot-free...
I worry that she would take the chance...
and cause harm to other innocent people.
You're right.
I'm overly sympathetic.
No.
You're closely involved in it, so you can't see the bigger picture.
She has always been in love with you.
I know.
It's a tough decision to make.
I'm sorry to make you go through all these just to help me out.
I feel very bad for Mu Ci and King of Biancheng.
You're being overly polite again.
Mu Chi and my father are always open-minded...
and not easily affected by others.
Xu Feng, don't worry.
Furthermore, false can never be true especially in Demon Realm.
Not everyone can pass the test of Sincerity Stone.
Xu Feng.
After we get married...
I'll find the cure of the adverse effect of Nine Spins Elixir...
even if I have to turn Heaven Realm upside down.
You've such incomparable beauty, princess.
It's unparalleled in the world.
You'll pass the test of Sincerity Stone for sure...
as both of you are a match made in heaven.
What's Sincerity Stone?
Xu Feng.
Don't blame me.
I believe our feelings are mutual.
But love won't be able to stand any test.
Pu Chi.
Why is the summon spell not working?
Congratulations, Heavenly Empress.
You've got it wrong.
There is no Heavenly Empress here.
Today is your wedding day with His Majesty.
You deserve to be called the Heavenly Empress.
Congratulations, Heavenly Empress.
In the six realms,
a loyal person like His Majesty is the rarest of the rare.
Indeed.
In this world...
it's impossible for a man to treat a woman to perfection.
Even if such man exists, it's just false impression.
All the love and devotion are merely false impression.
If you've never experienced it...
you'd never understand...
the merciless reign of terror that's hidden behind the peace.
The auspicious moment is approaching.
You should start dressing up, Heavenly Empress.
Anyone can be the Heavenly Empress if she wants to.
In another word, I won't be the Heavenly Empress.
Heavenly Empress.
What's going on?
Your Majesty.
Enough. You may leave now.
I need to talk to Water Immortal in private.
Yes.
Enough. Leave now. Leave.
Since I'm here...
why didn't you stand up to welcome my presence, my beauty?
Well...
you shouldn't treat me so shabbily just because I adore you.
Beauty.
You should know that, besides the Heavenly Empress,
the Heavenly Emperor is entitled to marry many Heavenly Concubines.
Beauty.
Look at me.
Can you spot the difference?
You're so stubborn.
Let me teach you a lesson then.
Beauty.
Sure.
Your Majesty...
let me serve you and make you happy.
Are you done with the acting, Your Majesty?
- You already know since the beginning? - What do you think?
Do you really think that you're good at acting?
Beauty.
Last night I was summoned by your grievance.
I stayed up for the whole night for you.
Little do you know...
- Run Yu is so cunning. - Fine.
Even Dan Zhu's magic instrument doesn't work anymore.
I had to risk my life to come to your rescue.
Is this how you repay my kindness?
- Alright. - You're so ungrateful.
Pu Chi,
I won't forget your great kindness. Are you happy now?
- I'm hurt. - Don't push it.
Answer me. How did you sneak in?
While the priest climbs a foot...
the devil climbs ten.
You took it under his eyes?
It took me a lot of effort.
Even after Run Yu has become the Heavenly Emperor,
he's still a night owl.
I had no other way but to dilly-dally with him.
I almost fell asleep.
It was a long time before dawn.
Eventually he dozed off and I seized the chance to steal it.
Can you switch back to your own look when talking to me?
I feel so awkward to talk to you when you're wearing this face.
Right? I have the same thought.
I'm the prettiest among the six realms after all.
Are you done?
Listen. Kuang Lu is very sharp.
We mustn't dawdle, we need to go back to the Flora Realm now.
Beauty, just a minute.
Why?
What are you doing?
Hurry up.
Stop it.
You're so annoying.
Let's go.
Your Majesty.
Why are you here?
Have you done decorating the Highest Palace?
You...
Aren't you supposed to visit Water Immortal in Xuan Ji Palace?
Why are you here?
Today is the wedding day of His Majesty.
Buck up, brothers.
- Yes. - Yes.
How is everyone?
Fine.
Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Immortal.
Same goes to you.
Today is my wedding day.
Let's celebrate together.
Everyone will get a red packet each.
I've prepared for everyone. Take it.
I've put in quite an amount of prowess.
Don't lose it. Come.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Take it.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Please distribute it.
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
Today is our wedding day.
I'm happy.
Well, it's my wedding day, why do all of you look upset?
Since I'm happy, all of you have to be happy.
When I'm happy, all of you will be rewarded.
Everyone gets rewards.
It's a wedding ritual of the Flora Realm.
Just take it.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Immortal.
We're getting married tonight.
Please be highly committed while doing your duty.
I will not maltreat all of you.
Please be rest assured, Your Majesty.
We will do our best to protect the palace.
Po Jun Star Guardian,
those thugs from the Demon Realm will go to any length to get inside.
Chances are they will assume my look to deceive all of you.
Understood.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
You're merciless.
It's bedroom fun.
Here comes the silly. Here comes the silly.
I took the liberty to borrow Water Immortal...
to look into the true meaning of joint cultivation.
Yan You.
I'm dead!
Where is the Water Immortal?
Such a bold fanatic.
How dare you impersonate as the Heavenly Emperor?
Take him down.
How dare you!
You can't even recognise me?
His Majesty owns an ancient treasure, the Mermaid Tears.
How do you prove your identity?
General...
you only acknowledge the Mermaid Tears.
What about me and the Red Cloud Sword?
I deserve to be punished.
There was a fanatic who had impersonated as Your Majesty.
He has kidnapped the Water Immortal.
I didn't realise earlier. I deserve to be punished.
How long they had left?
About an hour.
Follow me.
Yes.
I am not marrying him!
This is what happened.
What?
It's truly impossible to judge a man's heart from his face.
A bad tree can't bear good fruit.
The current Heavenly Emperor...
is even crueler than Tai Wei, that Heavenly Emperor.
Jin Mi.
The Flora Realm will do its best to protect you.
We won't be able to conceal the news that you fled away for too long.
We need to be prepared.
Run Yu won't harm me.
Our priority is to find Pengyu...
to save Xu Feng from the adverse effect of the Nine Spins Elixir.
Pengyu grows nearby the lake.
Let Lao Hu bring you there.
Oh no!
The Heavenly Emperor is here with the Divine Army.
That's quick.
We mustn't let Jin Mi end up in his hands again.
Bring along Jin Mi and hide away at the back of the palace.
I'll deal with the rest.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Leave now. - Leave.
Let's go.
I didn't expect that you would be here.
We apologise if our reception was not up to your expectation.
Chief Zhang, how are you?
Why are you here?
I'm here in the Flora Realm for 2 reasons.
Firstly, to pick up Mi Er.
Secondly, to invite all of you...
to The Empyrean Heaven to attend my wedding...
and be our witnesses.
What's the matter?
Jin Mi is not in the Heaven Realm?
Someone has deceived Mi Er.
She's back to Flora Realm to find a herb called Pengyu...
to cure the Demon Lord, Xu Feng.
What's wrong?
Have you not seen her?
Our chief has gone missing as Heaven Realm was not guarded properly.
The Flora Realm didn't blame the Heaven Realm.
You have the audacity to ask for her from us?
There are some misunderstandings that you don't know about.
However, I don't wish to let this trifling matter...
affect our good relationship.
Misunderstanding?
You've brought along the well-armed Divine Army...
and barged into the Flora Realm.
I'm terrified.
I wonder what is the misunderstanding.
I had no other choice. Sorry for being rude.
Our wedding has been announced to the Six Realms.
Jin Mi has been known as the Heavenly Empress.
I hope that all of you would help me to find Jin Mi...
for the sake of the general prospect.
This is only your side of the story.
Jin Mi is not a young and ignorant infant.
She must have left for a reason.
If all of you insist to conceal her fault...
then don't blame me for being rude.
You...
How dare you!
Your Majesty, this is Flora Realm.
Since the primordial era, the Flora Realm...
has been an essential part of the Heaven Realm.
As the late Flower Immortal died young the late Heavenly Emperor was lenient.
The governance power had fallen into other's hand.
All of you have been...
interfering the governance power for a couple thousands of years.
Have you...
forgotten about the mutual respect between ruler and subordinates?
We're just following the command of the former chief. How could we...
Your Majesty.
Please enlighten me.
A subordinate should behave like one.
You better pray that Jin Mi becomes the Heavenly Empress as planned.
In this way...
the Flora Realm will be in peace for a long time.
- No entry. - No entry.
Come out.
You cross me in everything.
Don't disappoint our deceased mother.
Run Yu.
Stop making mistakes already.
Where is Jin Mi?
She has left the Flora Realm.
She has gone.
You don't believe me?
If she has left the Flora Realm...
you wouldn't stay here and try to buy her time.
Give it to me.
- What? - What did you steal from me?
It depends on your ability to get it back.
Immortal Shang Yuan.
Heard that Water Immortal has fled.
Will the wedding go on as planned?
It'll go on as planned.
Yes.
Jin Mi!
- Lian Qiao. - Why are you here?
I'm looking for Pengyu.
It's no where to be seen.
Pengyu?
Could it be that one?
Which one?
The thing that you're looking for...
looks like a mini umbrella and feather-like, right?
Yes. That's the one.
Have you seen it? Where is it?
Jin Mi.
Few days back, my mother harvested all of them...
to make mutton dumplings for me.
What are you saying?
Do you know that it can save lives?
You can make dumplings with onions or carrot.
Why must you use Pengyu?
I don't like onions.
Lao Hu won't agree if I use carrots.
You misused the treasure! I really wish to...
What should we do now, Jin Mi?
Don't touch me.
Stop blaming her.
- We have time to grow another one. - Lao Hu.
How to grow it?
Mi Er.
Lao Hu, where is Pengyu?
Pengyu has yet to grow.
You...
Protect me with your spell. I'll grow it now.
Okay.
Come on.
Hong Hong.
Heard that the Heavenly Emperor has set traps in Flora Realm...
to look for Little One.
Don't panic. Yan You is buying us time.
I wasn't able to delay him.
You...
Mi Er,
I think he is extremely determined to bring you back.
Can all of you try to buy me an hour?
Yes.
We must slow him down at all cost.
Hong Hong, we'll count on you this time round.
It's been a while since I've retired.
I'll give it a try.
Okay. Give it a try.
It's The Love Knot Spell.
Hong Hong,
it's been 6,000 years since I last saw you cast this spell.
The best spell should be used at the crucial time.
You're still very much capable.
Judging by Run Yu's prowess...
he won't be able to break the barrier spell in less than 3 hours.
- Mi Er, don't worry. - Sure.
Pu Chi, stay back and protect Jin Mi.
The rest of us will work separately to distract the Divine Army.
- We mustn't dawdle. Let's go. - Let's go.
Hurry up.
General, we couldn't find her.
After him!
Don't move.
Your Majesty, Water Immortal is not here.
- You may leave now. - Yes.
Line up in formation!
What a petty skill.
Uncle.
If you still regard me as your uncle...
then listen to my advice.
It's time to let go.
If you still respect me as the Heavenly Emperor...
then stop interfering.
Mi Er.
Actually I should apologise to you.
Why do you need to apologise?
To be honest...
I'm the adopted son of Run Yu's biological mother,
Lord Dong Ting.
No wonder.
No wonder I always feel that...
there's an indistinct bond between you and Run Yu.
Now I know.
I was raised by my foster mother.
The time that I spent with her was so much longer than Run Yu.
She had framed Xu Feng for multiple times...
as she was trying to seek revenge from the former Heavenly Empress.
In order to repay her kindness...
I had made a lot of mistakes that are against my conscience.
No doubt I had taken advantage of you.
I trapped you into attending Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet.
It has really never occurred to me that...
it would lead you into such danger circumstances.
Everything that happened after that...
be it man-made or fate, they were all against my will.
Mi Er, I'm sorry.
I think it's too late to apologise now.
If this had happened earlier...
I wouldn't forgive you.
However, after going through so much sufferings,
I realise things are not just black and white.
Nothing in this world remains permanent and unchanged.
I'll never forget that...
you're the one who rescued me and Rou Rou from Qiong Qi.
I'm always indebted to you for your help.
You're my friend.
You have been and will always be my friend.
Mi Er, since our misunderstanding has been resolved,
is it possible to bring our relationship to the next level?
I've been matchmaking for thousands of years.
I've learnt a lesson from it.
Forced love doesn't work.
Why are you so obsessed with her?
The most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart.
It could be easily changed.
Why should I give up?
Human heart can't withstand scheming.
Jin Mi doesn't fall for you not because you're inferior to Xu Feng,
but all the most persevering and flagitious artifices...
are nothing like a pure heart.
Ask yourself...
since young, have you ever open up to anyone?
Others might not know about the unfavourable situation I was in,
but you should know better.
If I open my heart to others and make any mistakes,
I'll be doomed eternally.
Not everyone will cause harm to you like Tu Yao.
If you never open up to others how could you expect the others...
- to care for you and... - to put themselves in your shoes?
All this while...
no one has put themselves in my place and think about my feelings.
When I was at the scariest and most helpless moment...
no one had ever stood up and spoken up for me.
Now,
none of you has the right to judge and make indiscreet remarks against me.
Jin Mi!
Something bad happened!
What's wrong, Lian Qiao?
The Heavenly Emperor and Moon Immortal are fighting.
Judging by the situation, the Moon Immortal will be defeated soon.
Jin Mi!
Pu Chi, please give this to Phoenix.
It's your blood and sweat.
Give it to him by yourself.
I can't leave now.
If I leave, the Flora Realm will be doomed.
Please.
