"Ashes of love"
"Episode 4"
I know you don't need this prowess.
You are only using collecting debt as an excuse...
to get close to Jin Mi.
But, let me make things clear.
Jin Mi is in Qi Wu Palace now.
So she is protected by us.
I don't care whatever you do out there.
But if you ever reach your hand into Qi Wu Palace,
I will not stand aside and do nothing.
This is worth 500 years.
Take it.
How generous of you, Fire Immortal. You counted the interest as well.
She doesn't owe you anything from now on.
Stop bothering her.
It's so hot.
I shall go back and cultivate slowly.
But,
I see you are so sincere to Jin Mi.
I'm really glad.
The wind tonight is great,
and the moon shines bright.
But the wind is a little bit cold.
I shall head back to rest first.
Prowess is not great enough.
But you sure have enough friends.
"Zi Wan Yun Palace"
The bird tribe has around 20,000 new recruits.
I have redivided the provinces of Yi Miao Province.
Cautiously promoted 8 new generals...
to manage every district.
How do you think?
Very good.
You are getting more mature now.
Thanks for you upbringing.
I shall not be slack at all.
I'm afraid to lose the bird tribe and your reputation.
Yes.
You...
what use is it...
when you only make me happy?
As a woman,
you should go to Xu Feng...
and visit him more.
I heard that Xu Feng has a new Fairchild,
am I right?
Jin Mi is just a low rank grape fairy.
Because she happened to...
give Highness a few drips of honey when he was injured.
Then she was brought back...
to Heaven Realm along the way.
He is such generous.
Jin Mi...
is witter and livelier...
than the other two servants.
She has a harmonious relationship with me as well.
These little fairies...
might seem negligible.
But they are really crucial as well.
He is the closest person...
besides of Xu Feng.
It might help...
the relationship between you two in the future.
After Zi Fen has passed away,
there's no real flower blooming in the Heaven Realm.
But real flower will whither too.
But they won't.
Once Xu Feng...
become the Heavenly Emperor.
You will naturally be the Heavenly Empress.
By that time, power will give you everything.
Including a great view of this garden.
Including the longevity of the bird tribe.
Don't worry, aunt.
Sui He got it.
I won't let your expectation down.
Rou Rou. Come.
Let's have a sun bath.
Rou Rou.
I lost 300 years of prowess.
But just one night sleep,
it has recovered.
Am I getting better now?
Don't worry.
I can't lose my prowess in vain.
I have to think of a way to get it back.
After I got it back,
then I can revive you as soon as possible.
I heard those fairies said...
that this phoenix is not old...
but...
he has already in charged of Divine Army of Five Directions.
And he is the most powerful...
among all the previous Fire Immortals.
I plan to...
ask some magical prowess from him.
But...
That bird is very stingy.
It's not easy...
to even ask for a feather from him.
I still need to go look for Moon Immortal...
and learn from him.
Don't you worry.
Lord Fire Immortal.
I have made this flower biscuit especially for you.
Have a taste.
I'm not hungry.
Have a taste. It's nice.
How is it?
For the sake I made you this flower biscuit after I just recovered.
Share me some prowess please.
It's too sweet.
I'll make it once more.
Wait for me.
Too plain.
Too hard.
Too soft.
It was just like what that fox fairy said.
Stop sighing.
I teach you 3 tricks...
if you wish to have prowess.
First, is too serve flatteringly.
But...
I bet Xu Feng doesn't buy that.
Indeed he doesn't buy it.
I have a second trick.
Your Highness.
You have to give me an explanation today.
If it weren't me who saved you,
why would I ended up here in the Heaven?
If I didn't end up in the Heaven,
how would I lose 300 years of prowess?
No matter what.
You have to be responsible to me...
by giving me back 300 years of prowess. Got it?
If you wish to repay me,
by giving me a couple of hundred years of prowess,
I won't reject you.
Second, threaten him with you saving his life.
But I guess...
Xu Feng will send you flying with a slap.
It's hard to say.
I'm not giving up.
Not giving up.
I still have one last trick.
Then what's the third trick?
Do you know...
what does the strong afraid of?
How long do you wish to trouble me?
Do not be hard dealing with the strong.
Only deal with them softly.
The weaker you get,
the more he can't handle you.
If he doesn't react, you don't react as well.
Once he reacts, you start to cry.
I will not give you the prowess.
I don't want prowess.
I saw you do not know how to swim...
when we are in Flora Realm.
You do not do well with water.
So I'm thinking that it is dangerous here.
So I bring an umbrella...
to block against all this water.
I will just guard by your side quietly this way.
Alright.
I know some tricks...
to cultivate prowess.
If you are willing to...
I'm willing to.
I need a reading assistant.
If you wish to learn,
come to Xi Chen Palace and wait for orders tomorrow.
Forming an alliance?
All from six realms knows that...
Flora Realm is busy looking for the lost flower fairy.
You know that...
The Flora Realms doesn't intervene with the world.
I won't agree.
Why do you make an unnecessary move?
Flora Realm advocates pure,
but I'm afraid this hatred of yours...
made all of you...
impure.
The enemy of the enemy...
made an alliance naturally.
Chief Zhang, you shall...
think it all over again before answering.
Noble person doesn't form an alliance.
Flora Realm obeys the teaching of the late Flora Immortal strictly.
We shall not intervene with the world.
Farewell.
Have Chief Zhang,
and other Chiefs...
forgotten who caused...
Flora Immortal to die in hatred?
Although Flora Realm is weak in power,
we still don't need other people,
or used by other people...
if we really wish to avenge.
You're proud.
But no strength at all.
It seems like...
Flora Realm is filled with...
weak and pretty ladies, that's all.
I don't expect much in the first place.
I see that you came here in a bad intention.
Haitang.
Shall not be impolite.
The matter from Flora Realm...
doesn't need you to worry.
Let's go.
Farewell.
If you change you mind,
you can come here and look for me.
That's weird.
I just feel weird.
I think I gain a lot of weight lately.
But I found out that...
I don't get fat at other parts.
But why is this the only part that gains weight?
Have you memorized the Brahma Spell...
I taught you few days ago? Recite it for me.
No problem.
It is only a short Brahma Spell.
But you had such a hard time reciting it.
In total of 49 pieces of lines.
You only got 5 right.
It sure isn't easy at all.
I memorized it.
I really memorized it.
I memorized it all yesterday.
It's because I was nervous just now,
and made me forgot.
Bring it back.
Memorize it well along with Brahma Spell.
Come back tomorrow evening and recite it again.
I need to recite again?
Can I stop reciting?
I can learn something else.
You can teach me...
some other things.
No.
I observe that you still have some abilities.
Your prowess is not high because you don't have the fundamental.
Not following the orders.
Now you can only start with these theories.
Stop thinking of a trick or what.
There's no shortcut in cultivating.
Where are you going?
To memorize all these.
If you go now,
who will fill the tea and grind the ink for me?
You do it during the night.
Reading assistant...
shall have the attribute of it.
Grind the ink.
Princess Sui He.
You are here.
I brought some snacks for His Highness.
Is he around?
He is in the Xi Chen Palace...
discussing something with Liao Yuan.
Wait a moment.
Princess Sui He.
Will I have bellyache after eating this?
Why would you?
You can grow hundred years of prowess eating this.
Thank you, Princess Sui He.
You are really...
the immortal from the Heaven.
No... no...
Princess Sui He has huge benevolent.
You are the immortal of immortals.
You are filled with sweet words.
Jin Mi.
How do you think I treat you?
Generous of course.
Way better than...
that stingy phoenix.
Then can you help me with something?
Please just say it.
I have liked Xu Feng for some time.
But...
he doesn't show affection to me.
Although he is being polite,
we are still not close enough.
That's weird.
He is so fierce.
Why would so many people like him?
How many are they?
The queue is about here to Southern Heavenly Gate.
But don't you worry.
He doesn't show affection to anyone.
We are all friends.
I will definitely help you with this.
How about this?
I will go ask the Moon Immortal.
He has a lot of ideas.
That's great. Don't worry.
I won't treat you shabbily.
How is the defense from the Demon Realm...
which Father has ordered going?
Don't you worry, your Highness.
I have followed your orders...
ordered New Immortals Mansion to gather...
a bunch of new earth immortals to serve in the Divine Army.
That's good.
How about the investigation...
of the man in black last time?
I'm still investigating it closely.
From the report of the guard of Southern Heavenly Gate,
they found the track of the man in black...
around Luo Xiang Mansion lately.
Water Immortal?
Water Immortal has retired many years.
He doesn't get involved in anything since long.
What does he has to relate with the man in black?
Continue with the investigation.
This has wronged the Night Immortal.
It has to be solved immediately.
To prove Night Immortal that he is innocent.
Understood.
Your Highness.
I went to Mortal Realm and got some recipes.
I have made these snacks myself...
and bring it to you for a tasting.
Thank you.
Anything else?
This is the first time I cook.
Don't you wish to try?
How is it?
Delicious.
Jin Mi, tea.
I'm coming.
No need.
Let her do it.
It's done.
I'll leave first.
- I... - You stay.
Jin Mi, serve the Our Highness well.
Don't worry, count on me.
Jin Mi.
- Bring these... - Alright.
I know.
I'll bring these away right away.
Fast.
Let's catch up.
Moon Immortal.
It seems to be crowded.
Zi Qi Star Guardian.
Why are you so free today to visit me?
Greetings, Moon Immortal.
My name is Yue Bei.
Zi Qi is my sister.
Immortal.
I heard that...
you have a good relationship with Fire Immortal.
Can you pass these letters...
to Fire Immortal...
for my sisters?
No problem.
Right.
Moon Immortal. Can you give us some red ropes?
I'll go get it for you now.
I wonder...
how do we address you, immortal?
Me?
This is the first time people call me immortal.
Good eyesight.
Here comes the red rope.
Yue Bei Star Guardian, this is for you.
Put it in the cloud...
and it will grow.
Thank you, immortal.
Alright, stop looking at it.
Go do your work. Go.
Stop looking at it. Go do your work.
Why are you here?
Don't you need to serve Xu Feng?
You still dare to say.
Your Xu Feng got used to order me around.
It's because...
you are obedient and easy to be ordered around.
Bring all these love letters to Xu Feng.
Come here.
Please sit.
Sit.
What do you need? Say it.
What do you need from me again?
I have a friend.
You have a friend?
Why is this...
opening sounds so familiar?
I really have a friend.
Alright. Continue.
This friend of mine...
likes an immortal.
But this immortal...
doesn't show affection to anyone.
He is proud.
What should the friend of mine do...
to make that immortal to like her?
This immortal...
whom your friend likes...
is as cold as Xu Feng, right?
Yes, he is.
He is as cold as Phoenix.
The level of this love question...
I really need to think about it.
It all starts from theory to be wise.
Jin Mi.
This is the book I collected for years...
"Secret Book of Love".
Were you going to say that?
You told me...
the same thing last time.
And you have given me this the last time.
This time is different.
This is the special edition.
I give it to you.
No.
To your friend.
Let her learn it well.
To build up the fundamental first.
I can't read it.
Maybe Sui He can read it.
Anyway.
I'll bring this to her anyway.
You are so nice, Moon Immortal.
Do you still feel uncomfortable? I'll give a a massage.
Be gentle.
Your... Your Highness.
I allow you to learn transformation here.
You are not only late, and you started dozing off.
Don't you want your prowess anymore?
I do. I do.
Where is the table I asked you to transform?
This is transformed by you?
I was chanting to this table.
I really did.
It not only didn't transform,
and one of its legs also got shorten.
You are truly amazing.
I'm flattered.
What is this?
This?
It is used to balance the table.
How can you use it to balance the table?
What's wrong with this book?
Although it is all drawings.
But still, it's a book. It can balance the table.
Not only this.
I used two more.
These are also collections.
Jin Mi.
The spring is here.
It's here.
You deserved to be the person I taught.
You may continue.
How long do you wish to be on me?
Get up.
Go out.
I punish you not to sleep tonight. And practice the transformation well.
I will check on you tomorrow morning.
I...
Uncle.
Brat without conscience.
How long has it been since the last time you visited?
It's my bad.
I have been busy with stars and night.
Working during the night time.
I'm afraid that I might disturb you.
Excuses.
You are early today, uncle.
I just got off...
and prepare to pass the job to Maori Star Guardian.
The sun hasn't come out yet.
You are already...
wandering around the garden.
Uncle.
Did you forget that...
Run Yu has a marriage contract.
It's not east for the silkworm to produce silk.
Uncle.
You can stop wasting this on me.
This Luo Lin and Lin Xiu...
They haven't been at the same side...
for this hundreds and thousands of years.
How can they have a child?
It's a sin...
wasting it.
If you have a son after the marriage.
He can be the sworn brother with my eldest son.
If it is a girl,
she can be the wife...
of my eldest son.
So the relationship...
of our generation...
can be passed down.
That's is also something beautiful.
What do you think?
We shall obey your decree strictly.
Congratulations.
Run Yu.
You are not young anymore.
Let me ask you this.
If the Water Immortal...
doesn't have a daughter,
then will you not to get married?
Actually I have no intention in getting married.
Any fairy from any family will be wronged...
marrying to me.
Nonsense.
You are the Night Immortal. The eldest son of Heavenly Emperor.
How can they be wronged?
I don't ask for anything.
It would be great...
as long as I can be in the night...
with no restriction and to be a free...
and happy immortal.
Stop being stubborn.
How can one person guarding the night...
better than two persons warming each other?
Alright.
I will take care of you.
Your father won't leave this aside too.
Uncle.
If I have to say.
It's better for you to take more care about Xu Feng.
Mother has been urging him recently.
It will be difficult for Xu Feng.
Uncle is here.
Xu Feng and you...
will not get away.
I'll go back now.
To tie these red ropes...
even tighter.
Thicker.
Enhance it with magic.
Making sure it brings two people together.
I don't want to bother you.
Here's another one?
This...
Why not keep it.
For me to keep it as a souvenir...
as to visit you more.
You are sure teachable.
It would be great if Xu Feng is as obedient as you.
Right, uncle.
Has your palace...
had a new little servant lately?
No.
After Xu Feng was back from Nirvana,
the way getting in to the Heaven...
has become more strict.
How can any random people become a newcomer that easily?
That's weird.
Right.
There's one in Xu Feng's Qi Wu Palace.
A reading assistant called Jin Mi.
She's lively and witty.
A very quirky girl.
I like her very much.
She must be special...
to catch your eyes.
She is very obedient.
She must be wonderful.
Next time,
I'll bring you to meet her to kill your boredom.
I'll leave first.
Take care, uncle.
I'm so tired.
I'll go back and sleep.
Finally...
someone who is understanding in the Flora Realm.
I owed the past Flora Immortal much.
But she was plotted by someone.
This vengeance has to be taken.
As long it can avenge her,
I'm willing to give anything.
Then I will need to see...
whether Chief Yulan...
is worthy to be trusted.
What do you need me to do?
I'd like to know...
the whereabout...
"Flora Realm, Jin Mi" of this person's parents.
He is really a stingy person.
He turned me into a chopsticks for a day.
I can only pick rather than eat.
Are you trying to starve me to death?
Painful...
It's so painful.
Painful.
Don't come here.
I heard...
that your palace...
came a lively servant?
Why...
didn't I see her today?
Did you give her a holiday?
Yes.
You like quiet.
How can I let someone like her...
to disturb us?
It seems like I'm quite someone.
This servant...
should thank me.
You only are someone around my place.
If she needs to thank someone, it will be me.
It has been 7 days.
When will he let me go?
Now you know...
what transformation spell is.
I understood. Fei Xu and Sui He...
come and save me!
We are all friends.
Why did you only come to save me now?
Didn't I come to save you now?
I was almost tortured to death before you showed up.
I, as the fruit fairy...
shall has my pride.
I have decided.
I want to your House of Marriage and stay for a while.
But where shall I sleep?
Alright.
Since you have worked so hard,
I have a secret information to tell you.
What's the information?
There's a conscription in 2 days.
You may enjoy it during that time.
Conscription?
What else to enjoy?
Fei Xu.
What can we see later?
It's a listening test later.
His Highness will discuss...
the art of war with everyone.
To promote Divine Soldier from the newly recruited earth immortals.
This only comes once in 30 years.
You are so fortunate to catch this.
Then why is it so many people here,
but not there?
How fortunate is it to be picked...
to join Divine Army of Five Directions.
How impressive is that?
Then what's bad to join Night Immortal?
You don't know right?
Although Night Immortal is the eldest son,
he's a concubine's son.
And he doesn't have any achievement in war yet.
So his recruitment...
is only for amusement.
But our Lord is totally different.
Our Lord is the son of the Heavenly Empress...
who will take over the throne in the future...
and own the Heaven Realm.
Will Lord Night Immortal be here today?
Our Lord Night Immortal is above this considerations.
He has no interest...
in such trivial matter.
He always sends one person...
to casually call the roll.
Lord Fire Immortal has arrived!
Let's start.
I am Lu Ren Jia.
Pancake roll stuffed with scallion.
I live in Suzhou.
Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish.
I'm from Hejian.
Donkey Burger.
Soldiers are always crafty.
Lamb Kebabs.
Did you understand?
It's the same like last time.
Inform New Immortals Mansion...
that the language of the six realms...
will be considered in the assessment scope in future.
Understood.
I'm Po Jun. From Zhongyuan.
Spicy Soup.
I learnt martial arts since I'm young.
Studied under General Pu at the age of eight.
Once led a 800 of soldiers to the North.
What are you doing?
Your saliva has spitted onto my face.
Fellow townsman.
How are you? Fellow townsman.
This is the first time I meet fellow townsman after I came to Heaven Realm.
You got it wrong. I'm not from your town.
I'm not.
Can you understand him?
I can understand every single word.
But if he puts them together I can't.
You will be my interpreter.
Me?
He said,
on hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem.
On desperate ground fight.
Act as the circumstances direct,
watch for the proper moment for action.
Of all those in the army close to the commander,
none is more intimate than the agents.
Great.
Divine Soldier Pojun.
Every word you said is right.
You sure understand the act of war.
I will grant you the position of...
Star Guardian of North Palace. Leading 20,000 of Divine Soldiers.
Starting from today, go to Divine Army Mansion.
Congratulation, brother.
What he meant is you got promoted...
and you get 20,000 Heavenly Soldiers with you.
Thank you Your Highness.
He is giving you thanks.
Learn the official language of six realms as soon as possible.
It's easier to blend into Heaven Realm.
He asked you to learn the official language well.
We are all friends.
Yes. Understood.
Wait.
Is... Is this place still recruiting?
This place is Xuan Ji Palace. We recruit night guards here.
If you wish to be under Fire Immortal,
kindly go to the opposite side to register.
No.
This is the place that I'm looking for.
"Qi Wu Palace"
Thanks to you just now.
Or else...
I almost overlooked a great talent...
and missed out a great general.
I wish to know...
where did you learn that Zhongzhou dialect?
Are you a mutant grape...
that grew in Zhongzhou?
Mutant grape?
You are a burnt crow.
Now that's a mutant phoenix.
I grew up in the Water Mirror.
I will read some books when I have free time...
to understand how the six realms look like.
And I got in touch with outskirt languages...
apart from the official language.
I just learned it along the way.
One cannot broaden one's knowledge without learning.
You need to learn harder in the future.
Your Highness.
Since you are happy today.
Shouldn't I...
have some awards?
Awards?
Great.
Since you have been a great help today,
I'll tell you an information.
Qi Wu Palace is going to hold...
Rice Dumpling Festival of Mortal Realm a few days later.
To have some fun. You know that...
there are quite some ingredients in rice dumpling.
In the rice dumpling from Mortal Realm,
it's wrapped with...
bean paste, egg yolk, and meat.
But the rice dumpling of the immortal...
It has magical prowess!
His Highness has ordered.
The prowess that are wrapped...
are all different.
Some are small rice dumpling with 1 year of prowess.
And 500 years of prowess, the Dumpling King.
By the time every immortal from the heaven...
will come to Qi Wu Palace.
We will see then who is the lucky one.
Me... me.
I'm good at wrapping rice dumpling.
- Let me go. - No, you can't.
Why?
Isn't it obvious?
We afraid that you will cheat.
"Xuan Ji Palace, Qi Zheng Hall"
Heavenly Soldier Kuang Lu.
Report duty to Night Immortal.
Report?
You came to the wrong place.
Your Highness Night Immortal.
Xuan Ji Palace.
I'm not wrong.
Is she sent by Heavenly Empress?
The recruitment of Xuan Ji Palace is always a show.
You can't do anything here at my place.
If you wish to get achievement,
you should have a try at Fire Immortal's place.
I only wish to follow you.
I'll do whatever you wish to.
You can't go for a war following me.
Great.
I'm not good in the war anyway.
My place has much work but few people.
I'm afraid that sweeping,
ink grinding,
tea and water serving,
all has to be done.
I'll do all that.
I only work during the night.
If you come,
you will have to guard the night with me.
I can do that.
I have a bad temper.
I'll get angry easily.
Are you kidding?
In the Heaven Realm,
Night Immortal is famous of having a good temper.
I do research...
in special and prohibited spells daily.
Sometime I'll get crazy...
and might hurt people.
Let's see will you leave this time.
Your Highness.
Can you...
teach me as well?
Qiong Qi.
Stop wasting your energy.
Who?
Who is out there?
Qiong Qi.
If you are willing to listen,
I'll let you out.
If you let me out,
I'll follow you!
Sister Zhang, are you worried about Jin Mi?
It hasn't been 10,000 years yet,
but she left Water Mirror suddenly.
I always afraid of the past Flora Immortal's prophecy.
Will that bird...
be Jin Mi's...
love trial of 10,000 years?
There's no such coincidence in the world.
It's better to play safe.
We had just fixed the barrier.
But it was still broken by that bird.
I think you are too tired lately.
That bird?
How can it be.
If it was really that bird,
I'll chop off my feet...
and make them into fertilizer.
And the Yun Elixir is there as well.
It won't happen.
We have already informed the flowers and trees everywhere.
Once they have the news of Jin Mi,
they will report to us right away.
In this six realms,
there's many places...
where has no grass and trees.
Send some people to search for her right away.
Including...
the Heaven and Demon Realms.
Yes.
Then...
we will not miss out any place.
Sister Zhang.
Let loose a bit.
My heart...
is always troubled one day of Jin Mi not returning.
I haven't had a good night sleep since then.
The early morning.
The time day and night exchanges.
The time where...
the energy of heaven and earth intertwines.
It goes into our body every way...
which is suitable for cultivation.
Jin Mi.
Sister Xian Er from the Nine Luminaries Palace...
asked me to bring you this letter.
It's for you.
