"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 13"
I'm already running away,
even in the dream, he tries to catch me.
Why is Heavenly Emperor so petty like his wife?
Sorry to intrude, Fairy Jin Mi.
Inviting you into this state of illusion,
I hope that you wouldn't mind.
Aren't you here to condemn me?
Your Majesty, you are too polite.
I wasn't expecting this.
I didn't expect to meet Your Majesty in the dream.
This is a state of illusion.
This is where the immortals practise their state of trance.
Sometimes the illusion appears in the Mortal Realm.
The mortals call it a mirage,
thinking it's formed by the breath of a sky toad in the sea.
When I heard about it for the first time,
I couldn't help but to be amused.
I thought that the mortals were ignorant.
Yet 90,000 years ago,
I came here in the middle of the night,
saw her walking on the water.
Every step she took, a lotus would grow.
Before she went away,
she looked back into the mist.
Only then I knew what's an illusion...
and what's a mirage.
I'm Tai Wei from the Heaven Realm.
May I know your name?
Since she passed away,
there's no more spring in Heaven Realm.
It's been a long time since I last came to this place.
You are so alike.
Just now in the foggy mist,
I almost mistook you as her.
But after a closer look at your look,
there's nothing similar.
She didn't like to smile.
I've known her for 90,000 years...
but I've only seen her smile less than 10 times.
Sometimes her smile is only momentary.
She's unlike you, bright as the spring days,
sweet as maple syrup.
If it wasn't because of me,
in the past 90,000 years,
she shouldn't have had just these few smiles.
She wouldn't be like that,
passing away in loneliness.
She passed away already.
Your Majesty, you must restrain your grief.
In Heaven Realm and this state of illusion,
nothing has ever grown for 4,000 years.
I heard that Fairy Jin Mi has a green thumb.
Why don't you grow some lotuses here?
How did we end up talking about planting flowers?
He is indeed Phoenix's dad.
His thinking is so erratic.
From what I know from Phoenix,
he is my father as well.
I should show some respect.
Okay.
Indeed....
Indeed...
Heavenly Emperor, don't be sad.
I can only do this to show my deepest sympathies.
Do you know who I was talking about?
I'm still young, I have been living in the Water Mirror.
The things I know are all some...
vegetables and fruits.
I've never met a person that smiles once in 10,000 years...
like you said.
But someone who smiles 10 times a day,
I've known a few.
I have a shallow knowledge,
I don't know who Heavenly Emperor is speaking of.
The person I spoke about just now...
is the Flora Immortal, Zi Fen.
Fairy Jin Mi, you are about 4000 years old,
have you never met Zi Fen?
I've never met her.
That's unexpected.
She hates me so much that...
she wouldn't even want to meet one of her own bloodline.
Your... Majesty.
You... can't just simply say things.
This dream is too strange.
Why does Heavenly Emperor get into my dreams?
The Flora Immortal is an arctic starflower...
and I'm only a grape.
How could she be my mother?
These father and son...
are indeed crazier than one another.
This is not right, this is my dream.
Looks like I'm the crazy one.
It's all Phoenix's fault,
telling me some nonsense in the day time.
I'm too deep into my dream, it's time to wake up.
Looks like it's not a normal dream.
Fine, I'll take it as it comes.
It's rare to dream about the Heavenly Emperor.
I should ask him for some magical prowess.
Make it a dream about increasing my magical prowess.
That wouldn't be a waste of a dream.
Your Majesty, if you like to see me planting flowers,
I can grow them for you anytime.
You can also send me to the Heaven Realm to be a gardener.
It's just that...
this...
What's wrong?
What are your difficulties? You can just tell me.
My magical prowess is not really high.
Even though I work really hard to train everyday...
I'm still a little fairy.
I still know a thing or two about gardening,
but I still need to depend on the force of other objects...
to be able to change it.
That's why I made a fool of myself.
I think Zi Fen must have sealed off your spirit.
What about this?
I give you some magical prowess?
You'll just have to go back and practise for 49 days,
then you'll be able to get your true form.
How can I accept the precious magical prowess from Your Majesty?
Good child,
you and I shouldn't be so aloof.
Passing you some prowess is perfectly justifiable.
Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.
But your cultivation is not deep enough,
therefore I'm only able to pass to you 5000 years of prowess.
Five thousand years?
Thank you, Heavenly Emperor! Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!
If it wasn't for my wrong decision 10,000 years ago,
all the Chiefs would not be in rivalry with Heaven Realm.
You and I wouldn't need to meet in the middle of the night.
I have troubled you.
There's no trouble at all, not even a bit.
Just 1 night, he has given me 5000 years of prowess.
You don't even feel troubled, why would I?
I hope that this dream is real and not just a dream.
What I owe to Zi Fen,
I will compensate it to you slowly.
It's just that there's something that you have to remember.
Heavenly Emperor, please just tell me bluntly.
I, Jin Mi will not hesitate to do anything for you.
You must remember...
not to have any romantic relationships with Xu Feng or Run Yu.
Do you understand?
Heavenly Emperor, rest assured.
That's an easy job. Easy job.
"Luo Xiang Mansion"
Are you thinking about that grape fairy...
at the Heavenly Empress's birthday banquet?
That fairy indeed looks a bit like her.
Seeing that little fairy...
also made me think about Zi Fen.
All these years,
although you have never mentioned Zi Fen to me,
but I know...
in your heart,
she has never left.
Lin Xiu,
marrying me has wronged you.
I'm not angry at you.
All these years, you and I have been treating each other with respect.
We've been living peacefully. I'm content.
It's just that seeing you with this burden you have...
makes me feel sad for you.
Lin Xiu...
If you miss her,
just go and see her.
Okay.
Okay, it's late now.
Rest early.
You too.
You acted before reporting to me.
You released the demon back to Flora Realm,
only came here now to be punished.
Mother, please calm down.
You are a Fire Immortal,
a respectable son of the Heavenly Emperor.
So many eyes are watching you,
how could you behave so improperly?
Becoming friends with a demon who doesn't have the title of an immortal.
You even publicly contradict me for her.
How can I be at ease?
Jin Mi saved my life many times.
Also because her prowess is limited,
therefore I had to help her.
Jin Mi is young, unknowledgeable and lack of etiquette...
but she means no harm.
Tell me.
Are you really doing this to repay her gratitude?
Or do you have feelings for her?
I don't.
Okay.
Then promise me...
from now on you will never see that little demon.
I'll forgive her then.
Yesterday I've already sworn in front of Chief Zhang...
that I'll never see Jin Mi again.
Mother, you can be at ease.
At ease?
Only when you become the Heavenly Emperor,
command the Heaven Realm,
marry and have children with Sui He,
then I can truly be at ease.
Mother, you worry too much.
I have to go training,
I'll leave now.
If I don't worry,
do you think you'll get to where you are now?
You just got some rest after patrolling all night.
Why are you rushing to check on the Flora Realm...
and exhaust yourself?
I heard that Chief Zhang is very strict.
This time I've sneaked Jin Mi into Mortal Realm,
also almost caused a scene in Heaven Realm.
I'm worried that Chief Zhang will not let Jin Mi off easily.
I'm going to Flora Realm, you don't have to follow me.
Yes.
This is bad.
She will not let Jin Mi off easily.
Heavenly Empress has already held a grudge against you,
if you go there out of a sudden,
it will worsen the situation,
things will go out of hand.
Yesterday Xu Feng was so sure that...
Jin Mi and father are related by blood.
The look in father's eye when he saw Jin Mi...
was indeed suspicious.
- I'll ask father. - Okay.
I'll go to the Flora Realm to check it out.
Be careful.
Grape fairy Jin Mi...
pretended to be Flora Immortal's descendant,
received 5000 years of prowess from Heavenly Emperor.
Please do not harbor grievance against me.
You won't blame me, right?
I don't know what do you like to eat.
If you need anything,
tell me in my dreams.
I will do anything...
to serve you well.
I'm here to thank you, Flora Immortal.
Such a good news out of the blue,
it's really worth celebrating with everyone.
However, I'm not in Heaven Realm.
I guess I can only get Pu Chi to celebrate with me.
Heavenly... Empress.
Last time I tried my prowess and I was able to summon Pu Chin.
I didn't know that after I gain more prowess,
I'm able to summon the Heavenly Empress.
Heavenly Empress.
What... What are you doing?
Before you die,
let me teach you some rules.
Heavenly Empress!
What are you doing?
What rule is it?
I don't care who you are...
or what's the relationship between you, Xu Feng and Run Yu.
Just with that face of yours,
I can kill you a thousand times.
You and Zi Fen indeed are fated.
Dying here is just the right place for you.
I don't know what you mean.
- When did it happen? - It's already an hour.
Mother is impulsive and easily irritated.
If you too late, I'm afraid that Jin Mi...
Jin Mi is my own flesh and bone.
If I rush out to defend her,
Tu Yao will not give up easily.
Let's do this.
Pass my royal decree...
to reward the immortals on behalf of your mother's birthday.
By using this amnesty for the Heaven Realm, summon you mother back.
Since it's my father's bloodline, that means she is my sister.
Father, please be at ease, I will do all I can to protect her.
Water Immortal.
Don't you have any respect for superiority and laws?
You are not working on blowing wind and making rain...
instead you are here to interrupt me.
Of course I know about respecting the superiority and laws.
However, the late Flora Immortal and I were old friends.
Today I come here purposely to pay my respect...
but unexpectedly seeing that this child almost got killed.
What's you concern that I'm here punishing this little fairy?
Jin Mi is a Flora Realm's fairy.
Since she's from Flora Realm,
only Flora Immortal and Chief Zhang have the authority to punish her.
Zi Fen passed away already.
In front of Zi Fen's grave...
you strike such a vicious blow on a low level fairy.
Heavenly Empress, how can you do it?
You talk about respecting the superiority and laws.
In plain words,
you are actually doing this for Zi Fen.
Are you doing this...
for this little fairy?
Because she looks like Zi Fen, right?
No matter it's public or private affairs,
I can't just sit by and ignore it.
Do you think you can take care of it?
Mother, I've found you.
Fish fairy!
Greetings Water Immortal.
Fish fairy, save me.
Greetings, mother.
I did not ask you to get up.
Mother,
I'm here with father's decree...
to ask mother to go back to the Empyrean Heaven.
It's to discuss about rewarding all the immortals with amnesty.
Heavenly Empress is the model of Heaven Realm.
You manage Heaven Realm, you should speak and act cautiously.
If all the Chiefs are alarmed,
causing disturbance to the Heavenly Emperor,
I'm afraid that it will tarnish the Heavenly Empress's good name.
Okay.
So you've gotten tough and more powerful.
Now you dare to form alliance to go against me.
I do not dare.
Mother, please.
Water Immortal, Jin Mi Immortal, goodbye.
Thank you Water Immortal.
Fairy Jin Mi, are you guarding Zi Fen's grave?
It's only some small token.
Jin Mi, Jin Mi,
looking for peace in the flourishing days,
living this life freely and easily.
This was Zi Fen's favourite poem when she was alive.
I wrote it for her to hang it up.
I didn't expect that...
Zi Fen still has her bloodline left in this world.
Water Immortal,
based on what you just said,
am I really the child of late Flora Immortal...
and the Heavenly Emperor?
Pu Chi.
Jin Min, can you be more accurate next time?
You will break my bones one day.
Sorry for being rude, greetings, Water Immortal.
Are you here to have fun in Flora Realm?
No, no, no...
I never come here to play.
Fairy Jin Mi summoned me to enter Flora Realm.
Your prowess has increased.
Did you summon Water Immortal as well?
You are able to summon Yan You?
What kind of spell did you cast?
My prowess is low,
I'm using the normal summoning spell.
Yan You's true form is a water snake.
Jin Mi, you are able to summon water?
Fire Immortal said that my body is cold and wet.
Therefore ask me to practise some water spell.
I've made some hails but have never tried summoning water.
Why don't you try it?
Me?
Now?
Okay then.
Today I shall try it in front of the Water Immortal.
Summon!
With your prowess, I don't think you can summon water.
Let me try again.
Summon!
Jin Mi, you are just a normal fairy. Why did you force yourself?
How are you?
Such a big cloud.
A really dark cloud.
Jin Mi.
Chief Zhang.
Water Immortal, what's wrong with Jin Mi?
Look,
it's snowing.
I've summoned the snow.
I've summoned it!
Your Highness.
Why did Water Immortal go to the Flora Realm today as well?
I think he went to pay respect to the late Flora Immortal.
The Heavenly Empress wanted to kill Fairy Jin Mi...
destroy Mound of Flora Immortal.
Who knew, Water Immortal came by just in time...
to save her life.
He even contradicted the Heavenly Empress.
Water Immortal usually doesn't get himself involved in affairs.
His reaction after seeing Jin Mi these two times are really unusual.
I'll have a look again at the Flora Realm.
Quickly report it to me if there are any news about the Heavenly Empress.
How is she?
That is due to she used too much prowess.
The snow just now was summoned by Jin Mi.
If Jin Mi doesn't belong to water,
how was she able to summon the snow and Yan You?
What is Jin Mi's actual identity?
If Jin Mi is just a normal fairy,
why are you and Chief Haitang so nervous?
I'm only a small fairy in the Flora Realm.
You don't even know your own matter,
and you need someone else to explain it to you?
Jin Mi and Zi Fen are too similar,
but she said that she's just a grape.
I really don't understand the reason of it all.
Jin Mi was taken care by you all since she was born,
only the Chiefs of the Flora Realm are able to solve this mystery.
I thought that Ji Mi is blurred by nature.
Looks like there's reason to it.
Does it mean that...
Does it mean that Jin Mi really is...
There's no point asking me.
There's thing that I can say, and things that I can't say.
All the chiefs in the Flora Realm have sworn an oath.
If there's any give away,
we will destroy our own spirit as punishment.
Please forgive me Water Immortal.
Jin Mi's energy in her body is all messed up.
Did you pass any prowess to Jin Mi?
This is the first time I met up with Jin Mi privately.
The prowess inside Jin Mi's body is very strong.
It's also very overbearing.
Based on my strength,
I'm unable to dismiss it.
For the sake of Jin Mi's life,
we don't have any other choices right now.
How was it?
The fire energy in Jin Mi's body is burning furiously.
Who passed her so much yang energy?
It contradicts the ying energy in her body.
If I wasn't here today,
she would have been in a great danger.
Thank you Water Immortal.
If anything happens to Jin Mi,
we won't know how to explain it to the late Flora Immortal.
Jin Mi...
is actually my own child.
You must have mistaken.
How would that be?
Well...
since Jin Mi is no longer in danger,
I shall not disturb you all any longer.
I'll visit again another time.
Everyone has done something right and wrong,
all the immortals have their own stories.
Right now there are no outsiders,
you all have no need to conceal it from me.
I know that you all have sworn an oath to Zi Fen.
I won't make things difficult for you all.
Just now I've just checked Jin Mi's spirit,
even if you all want to hide it from me, you won't be able to.
I'm only going to ask you one thing.
Is Jin Mi born during the frost fall?
It's true.
Mi Er...
These 4000 years,
I have never done anything a father should.
Zi Fen has passed away,
I am ashamed to see her.
Mi Er...
Let father help you up.
Here...
This...
Father?
Immortal,
you have mistaken.
Is my fault that I didn't look after you well.
If you are not willing to recognise me as your father,
I will not be angry at you.
No...
It's not like that.
It's not that I don't want to recognise you,
it's that you have mistaken me as someone else.
I'm just a normal grape fairy,
raised by nature.
Even if I want to scam or pretend,
I wouldn't dare to do it to you, right?
Silly girl,
how can you be a grape fairy?
Just now I've checked your spirit,
you are indeed the child of Zi Fen and I.
Zi... Zi Fen?
Which? Which Zi Fen?
In all six realms,
who dares to have the same name as late Flora Immortal?
The late Flora immortal?
I'm the child of late Flora Immortal?
Oh my!
I cannot simply dream.
State of illusion,
I've pretended to be the late Flora Immortal's descendant,
scammed the Heavenly Emperor for 5000 years prowess,
indeed now I'm facing retribution from it.
Late Flora Immortal,
please forgive me.
Quickly wake up.
One, two, three...
I'm... I'm not dreaming?
Is... Is this real?
I...
I've been a grape fairy for the past 4000 years.
Right now, am I...
a drop of water or a flower?
You spirit must have been sealed off by Zi Fen using the blue seal.
Therefore your true form is not this entity.
Also because of this, training your prowess was an obstacle.
Your body also looks a bit younger.
I'll bring you to our Master,
Xuan Ling Lord Doumu,
to seek for the counter spell,
then you'll be able to get back your true form.
Chief Zhang,
is that true?
Late Floral Immortal concealed the truth...
to protect you.
Since you've exposed your true form in the Heaven Realm,
it can no longer be concealed.
It's good that Water Immortal is protecting troublemaker like you.
Are fathers so easy to be found nowadays?
Yesterday I had one,
today I have another one.
But since Chief Zhang has already confirmed it,
it must be true.
I didn't think that I would have a father and mother.
Fa... Father.
Are you really my father?
Let me bring you home.
I will never leave you behind anymore,
causing you to be so lonely.
Okay...
It's okay.
But you all told me that I'm the late Flora Immortal's child...
but the late Flora Immortal passed away for 4000 years ago.
I've never even seen her once...
or to know what she looks like.
Although you mother is not around anymore...
but you still have father.
As long as I'm here,
I will accompany you forever.
By the way.
Mi Er.
Right now your body is filled with yang energy that's burning furiously.
Where did you get it?
To solve it, we must find the one that casts it.
In this current state of urgency,
we have to find that person...
to retrieve the prowess that's working against you.
I... I didn't ask for it.
He gave it to me.
He gave it to me, do I really need to give it back?
In this situation, why are you still thinking about the prowess?
If you don't give back, you'll die from vomiting blood.
No. Last night, Heavenly Emperor brought my spirit...
to the state of illusion.
He gave me 5000 years of prowess, it has nothing to do with me.
Heavenly Emperor?
What did he say to you?
He said...
He...
He is also my father.
What a joke.
Indeed the biggest joke in the world.
This shameless person,
how can he be the master of the Heaven Realm?
If it wasn't for Heavenly Emperor,
the late chief's soul wouldn't be destroyed and wouldn't die in hatred.
Calling him the murderer of Jin Mi's mother will not be too far off.
Father? What a joke!
How could he?
Haitang!
What did you just say?
What was the cause of Zi Fen's passing?
It's been 4,000 years,
how long will you hide it from me?
How did late chief pass away?
Speaking about that,
you were also part of the cause.
Today, even if I have to go against the oath I swore to the late chief,
and destroy my own spirit,
I'll have to tell the truth.
All the men in the world are fickle when it comes to love.
Right now Jin Mi has grown up...
everyone claims to be her father.
Where were you then?
Do you know that the late chief used...
all her prowess to protect this child?
Four thousand years ago,
Jin Mi came into the world crying,
when late chief closed her eyes...
it was the same night when Water Immortal had his wedding.
You are all happy and well-contented,
don't even have the time to watch the peach blossoms.
Why would you even think of people from the past?
Enough, Haitang!
Jin Mi is still inside.
If Jin Mi hears all these,
we all have to share the blame...
and drag Jin Mi into the affair of the past generation.
What for?
That means that...
Zi Fen died in the frost fall of the year 28612...
and not Summer Solstice in year 28613?
Flora Realm has hidden the news about Zi Fen's death for almost a year?
- Why? - That year...
Haitang!
Are you not going to even listen to me?
