"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 44"
Then...
Fire Immortal... Where's the Fire Immortal?
Fire Immortal?
There's no more Fire Immortal now.
Your injuries are not fully recovered.
Please don't think too much about it.
Lay down and have a rest.
I've really killed him.
Immortal, you've just woken up and not fully recovered yet.
Don't wear yourself out.
Mi Er!
Step down first, Kuang Lu.
You're finally awake, Mi Er.
Do you feel unwell?
I...
I'm in pain.
Where, Mi Er? I will pass you some magical prowess.
The pain will subside from it, alright?
I don't know.
I feel...
the pain spreads from my chest to my whole body.
I'm like being pricked with needles and cut with knife.
I can't describe it. I just feel pain everywhere.
I... I... I feel terrible.
But I...
I don't know what's making me feel terrible.
My mouth is bitter.
My dear Mi Er.
You won't feel bitter if you eat some sweets.
Here, Mi Er.
How was it? Do you feel better?
Mi Er!
It's okay, Mi Er.
It's fine.
Everything will pass.
Look, Mi Er.
Look at the night-blooming cereus.
They've been blooming for you. So beautiful.
When you get better,
I will compensate you with a grand wedding.
Let's do it this spring, okay?
Fairy Shangyuan.
Respects to Your Majesty.
During the past half year,
it's been difficult to settle everything down in the Heaven Realm.
Fortunately, Kuang Lu has been helping me, it's been hard on her.
Your Majesty, my daughter is slow-witted.
Thank you for appreciating her...
by promoting her as Fairy Shangyuan and granting her Xuanzhou Paradise.
I thank Your Majesty for your grace.
I am always fair and just.
Kuang Lu is efficient and cautious.
She deserves these acknowledgements.
Your Majesty,
I don't ask for any material rewards.
I just want to stay by Your Majesty's side.
Granting you a celestial residence is just to...
make it as your office to proofread the heavenly laws and calendars.
Time and festivals...
are tightly connected to the livelihood of six realms.
The old calendar is inaccurate, it goes against the time.
It's important to create a new calendar.
You have a huge responsibility.
I understand.
I will do my best.
Please rise.
Your Majesty, Water Immortal has just regained consciousness.
Her body is still weak.
I remember that my father gave Supreme Lord Lao an elixir pill before.
It helps with tranquility and qi replenishment.
Why don't we bring it to Water Immortal?
No need.
She's hurt mentally. Elixir pills will not work.
Let's take it slow.
Yes.
Oh yes, Your Majesty.
These are the files and evidences of the late Water Immortal's case.
After You Majesty reviews them,
I will send them back for documentation.
There's no need.
I trust your capability.
Bring these files to Pi Xiang Palace yourself for documentation.
Keep it properly.
Mi Er has just woken up. They might remind her of the tragedy.
Yes, I will do it right away.
I shall take my leave.
I shall take my leave then, Your Majesty.
This is for you.
These are the seeds of night-blooming cereus.
They will only bloom at night.
In the day, they will close up their petals and sleep.
I see that its temperament is similar to yours.
So I'm giving them to keep you company.
Mi Er.
Everything in the past is no longer important.
All the people and matters in the past...
will go with the wind.
I will never let you suffer again.
Let us live a happy and quiet life together.
Okay?
Xu Feng!
You?
Are you here to laugh at me?
Mother's temper is still the same.
If you're just a joke now, then I should congratulate you.
Don't be too proud of yourself.
When Xu Feng becomes the Heavenly Emperor,
he will bring me out of here.
You will get what you deserve then.
I'm afraid I have to disappoint you.
For your knowledge, mother,
half a year ago,
Xu Feng attempted to seize the crown and failed...
on the wedding of Jin Mi and I.
He was stabbed in his internal alchemy...
and perished on the spot.
Impossible.
Do you think I'm a kid?
Don't be nervous, mother.
There's more.
Xu Feng perished.
Father was so heartbroken and he killed himself.
He has passed away too.
Impossible. This is impossible!
You're lying!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty?
It's fine, step down.
- Yes. - Yes.
Impossible. You're lying!
You're lying! You're lying!
Why? Why? Why?
Why?
Even if you hate me,
you should have never hurt Xu Feng!
You were his closest brother.
What did he do wrong?
He's innocent?
Let me ask you.
What did my mother do wrong?
What did Jin Mi do wrong?
The hundreds and thousands of lives of water tribe in Li Marsh,
what did they do wrong?
When you killed my mother, exterminated my tribe...
and harmed Jin Mi,
had you ever thought of sparing their lives?
When you killed for father and harmed so many lives,
have you ever thought that those people had their own families too?
I should have never brought an illegitimate child like you home!
I should've killed you to prevent your betrayal.
You're right, mother.
I...
was only a pawn for you to claim your credits and rewards.
Who would've known that a pawn...
had the capability to rebel its master one day.
Do you think that...
I liked seeing my father and brother...
turn to ashes in front of me?
Do you think I liked it?
You should've killed me back then.
Maybe...
I would be free if you'd killed me back then.
Xu Feng and His Majesty are no longer here.
What's the meaning of staying alive?
Kill me.
Fine.
Jump from here if you want to die.
Back then,
the late Flora Immortal was tortured by your glass fire...
and was forced to jump from here.
Mother,
you had always been high above.
You never knew that...
under this terrace,
piles of bones are stacked up.
So many lives were sacrificed to make way for you...
for you to get your eternal glory.
If you really want to die,
why don't you jump from here?
Have a close look...
at those innocent lives which you trampled on...
to pave a path for yourself.
Look at them.
Mother.
I will not let you die so easily.
I want you to live and feel...
how it's like to lose your husband and son.
Look at me, as I, a rebellious son, rules the Heaven Realm...
and brings eternal peace.
Xu Er...
Xu Er!
Xu Er...
Mother!
I am very tired.
Just hold me for a while. Hold me.
You're late.
Take a shot as a punishment.
- I'll put it out. - I'll light it up.
He's just an illegitimate child of His Majesty's frivolous act.
How dare he think that he shares the same status with second prince?
When you're married to Lord Fire Immortal in the future,
you have to pay respects to him afterwards.
That's unfair for you, princess.
Everything is still uncertain, what are you babbling about?
But for His Highness...
Thank you for your appreciation. I dare not accept it.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness, we...
Lord Night Immortal is always cautious and low profile.
Since when did he offend you, princess?
Shall I apologize on behalf of him?
Those are harsh words, Your Highness.
We were merely just...
Love someone and one's family.
Respect someone and one's family.
The Night Immortal is my brother.
I've always respected him.
Never did I treat him casually.
Can you tell what did you mean by being casual?
I'm sorry, Your Highness. It was me who spouted nonsense.
I shouldn't have stirred up enmity.
Your princess is delicate.
If she really marries into Qi Wu Palace,
she'll definitely have to treat the Night Immortal...
with manners and respect to an elder brother.
I'm really worried that the princess will be offended.
Your Highness is right.
As the princess of the bird tribe,
I should speak cautiously. Thank you for the guidance.
That's good.
Then I shall take my leave.
Brother, don't take her words to heart.
They were just telling the truth.
Gossips are just for fun.
No matter how they talk about me,
Sui He is true to you.
Don't offend her because of me.
Otherwise, mother will...
I want them to know that...
offending the Night Immortal is equal to offending me.
It's okay. Let bygones be bygones.
You mustn't ruin your relationship with them because of me.
This is for you.
What's this?
Open it.
So secretive.
Did you ransack Zi Fang Yun Palace again?
I'm all healed now.
But you were hurt by fire poison and injured.
You can use this to nourish your body.
Thanks.
- Then I'll go to the drill-ground. - Wait!
This is the Starlight Essence.
It can soothe the remaining ice poison in your body.
Good for tea.
Thanks.
Xu Feng.
You're dead.
But why do you still linger around me?
You're always aloof.
Being spoiled and loved by everyone.
Everyone treated you like the sun.
Everyone admired your excellence.
They praised you for your achievements.
Was I never good enough?
I just didn't get to choose.
You kept giving me all the time.
But you never asked me if I wanted it.
I'll tell you now.
I don't want them.
I don't want your pretentious rewards and pity.
I don't want your leftovers.
Do you know, Xu Feng?
Back then,
I wanted to become stronger.
So that I can...
give you whatever you want.
But now I've finally understood.
As long as you were there,
I would never be the strongest one.
Tai Wei had been living a glorious life,
but he was ended by his own son.
Night Immortal killed his own father and brother,
it's just like what Tai Wei did in the past.
Tai Wei might not have expected that he would end up like this.
It's just like saying which goes, what goes around comes around.
My Lord, that Night Immortal had just seized the throne.
Now that the reign is not stable and in low morale,
this is the best timing to attack them.
You're right.
I've been recruiting men for this half year...
to strengthen the army forces of Demon Realm...
and fight the Heaven Realm with all of my might.
Oh, Tai Wei.
You couldn't fulfill your dream to conquer the six realms,
let me fulfill your dream for you.
Jin Mi has regained consciousness?
Why are you going there?
I regret that last time you didn't...
kill her with Immortality Destructing Arrow in mortal world?
I wanted to kill her.
I wonder who was stopping me back then?
How would I know that she's such a scum?
I was so blind.
I even treated her as a good friend.
I'll kill her now and avenge Xu Feng!
I know that you hate Jin Mi because of Xu Feng.
But everything is final now.
With our powers, we can't change anything.
I really don't understand.
What happened to the world nowadays?
Mortals like to create conflicts, hence there are changes of dynasties.
But why would heaven and demon realms that had always been peaceful...
turn into a chaos?
The son usurped his father's throne, the ministers reigned.
Even the usurpers are the righteous ones.
You're absolutely right.
But don't forget that the Heavenly Emperor has just ascended the throne,
his attitude to the Demon Realm is unknown.
We should plan carefully for the future by focusing on the big picture.
Big picture?
That's King of Gucheng's business.
I can't wait for them to fight each other and end with major casualties.
Keep it down.
King of Gucheng is now the Demon Lord.
Even your father and uncle has to pay him respects.
Besides,
if King of Qincheng didn't help us,
we wouldn't be able to live in the Demon Realm.
If you meet him after this, be careful with your actions.
The new Heavenly Emperor and Demon Lord...
are all ruthless and heartless fellows.
The peace of the six realms will definitely wreck in their hands.
The Heavenly Emperor has ascended the throne.
Jin Mi will become the Heavenly Empress soon.
Heavenly Empress?
These two are working hand in glove, they make the perfect match.
I was really blind.
If I see her again, I will rip her skin.
Don't be impetuous.
We were both not there that day.
I always think that something is amiss.
I don't care what's her concern.
It's the fact that she killed Xu Feng.
It's a shame that how Brother Feng gave his all to her.
Immortal, when you were asleep,
His Majesty planted these night-blooming cereus...
and fertilized them with his magical prowess to make them bloom in the day.
They've been waiting for you to wake up.
People say that Phoenix Flowers only bloom twice in the mortal world.
It blooms when the destiny comes and when the destiny ends.
I've used my prowess to make the flowers here bloom all day long.
Destiny is doomed to end,
flowers are doomed to return to soil.
Mi Er.
Mi Er, what's wrong?
I'm fine.
You don't have to keep everything to yourself.
My promises to you have been fulfilled.
Now,
those who've hurt you before have received their punishments.
The abolished Heavenly Empress...
is now being held in the arctic Lin Yuan Terrace.
It's a living hell for her.
As for Xu Feng...
half a year ago, you've killed your father's murderer.
Now you've got your revenge.
The Flora Immortal, Water Immortal and Wind Immortal can all rest in peace.
Mi Er.
I'd have another drink with you, and talk until I'm drunk with you.
Never wished to get into dispute, but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart wilts away and I can never turn back time.
Mi Er, I understand.
I understand that...
you've lost your family and endured such hardships.
You must be suffering a lot inside.
You and Xu Feng are clear now.
You just did what you were supposed to do.
Stop blaming yourself.
Everything wil pass.
Your Highness, Your Highness! Do you want some raisins?
This raisin is soft yet sturdy,
its sweetness is just right.
It's the best in all raisins.
Try it.
Why do you like raisins so much?
To replenish the same kind.
You just don't want it, do you?
If you keep doing this,
I'll feed you like how I did last time.
Mi Er.
Xu Feng is gone.
After this,
no matter when you're happy or suffering,
I'll always be with you.
When you're healed,
I'll give you another grand wedding.
Both of us...
will live together for hundred thousands of years.
Okay?
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Why?
You killed father!
You killed Aunt Lin Xiu!
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
Have you ever loved me?
Why am I crying...
when he was the one at fault?
I hope these memories never fade.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
You're in great spirits today, Moon Immortal.
Why did you think of me?
I really don't want to stay in the Heaven any longer.
Since that cold-blooded white dragon has become the Emperor,
the ambience up there is as cold as the Xuan Ji Palace.
How can it compare with the warm view of mountains and lakes?
Besides, Yuan Ji is not here anymore.
I don't have anyone to talk to.
I can only come to you out of boredom.
But Immortal Yuanji is in charge of mortal destinies,
where is she if she's not in the Heaven Realm.
She's going through redemption in mortal realm.
Why would someone who's in charge of mortal matters...
have to go through redemption in the mortal realm?
Is she doing a survey?
Yuanji is so smart,
she wouldn't want to go through redemption.
It's all because of my eldest nephew.
He's immersed in hatred.
He's still thinking of the redemption...
faced by Xu Feng and that heartless woman in the mortal realm.
So he found an excuse and sent her down.
Nowadays,
nothing can stop him anymore.
Oh yes, has Jin Mi awakened?
Stop mentioning that heartless woman.
It's because that she has awaken...
that made me not willing to stay up there.
She's awake?
Why didn't she summon me then?
You still want to meet her?
Someone so ungrateful like her should be sliced into million pieces...
and thrown into Tai Lake to feed the groupers.
I still don't understand.
The whole world knew that she loved the bird.
But alas...
Maybe...
she had made a choice between Xu Feng and Run Yu.
Could it be...
What?
That... That late Emperor killed himself.
But he was merely attacked by the Evil Spirits Ashes.
Why would he do that to himself?
He saw with his own eyes...
that his son perished in front of him,
while another son attempted to seize the throne.
Maybe he was already dead inside.
He had himself to blame.
If he didn't kill himself,
with the Huan Di Phoenix Feather protecting him,
it wouldn't end up like this.
Something's weird here.
Since that day,
Xu Feng's Huan Di Phoenix Feather disappeared too.
He didn't even leave any keepsake for me.
All because of that cold-blooded white dragon.
Actually, that cold-blooded white dragon is my step-brother.
Su Li...
was my foster mother.
What?
I've been receiving huge blows constantly.
You... You...
But I have never participated in his plan to seize the throne.
I am not on the same path with the Heavenly Emperor Run Yu.
But I've known Jin Mi for such a long time.
She is not someone so unreasonable.
Back then I saved her by coincidence.
She forcefully gave me her thousand years of cultivation.
So it seems...
that Xu Feng really did something unforgivable this time.
It seems that I can't stay at this Tai Lake's Water Tribe either.
Why?
Why is everyone so blind?
I should've just followed Yuanji...
to go through redemption in the mortal world.
You're not young anymore, be kind to everyone.
Jin Mi, I'm an accomplice after all.
How can I face you now?
I just hope that someday I'll have the chance to make it up to you.
"Qi Wu Palace"
Immortal.
Where are Liao Ting and Fei Xu?
They've been asked by the Moon Immortal.
What are you doing in Qi Wu Palace?
Nothing. I'm just here to walk around.
I think I've gained a lot of weight recently.
But somehow nowhere is gaining weight.
But why I'm only gaining fat here?
The phoenix flower only blooms for two seasons.
It blooms when the destiny comes...
and when the destiny ends.
Destiny is doomed to end,
flowers are doomed to return to soil.
How can it be?
Come back to life.
Why can't it come back to life?
Why?
Why can't it come back to life?
Come back to life!
Why can't you come back to life?
Live!
How can this be?
Why can't you live?
I hope these memories never fade.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
I hope these memories never fade.
What are you doing, Jin Mi?
He is the one who killed your father.
He killed your father!
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
It is you.
How dare you come to Qi Wu Palace?
Fox Fairy, I...
You? You what?
I've used everything to make you and Xu Feng a pair.
This even brings you a way to kill my Xu Feng.
Phoenix killed my father!
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
Impossible!
He is not the killer!
I watched him grow!
No one knows better of his personality than me!
He would never do such a thing!
I will not believe it!
But this is the truth.
My father died from a Glass Fire attack.
Phoenix admitted it himself that he was involved,
besides...
the dream let out by beast of dream was the proof.
I saw it with my own bare eyes.
Dream? Just from a dream?
This dream was Pheomix's dream of reality.
Phoenix killed my father.
How can you be sure that a dream of reality is real?
Dream of reality...
is what you actually see.
What we see is the reality, how could it not be real?
You may not see the truth with your eyes!
I don't believe it.
I only believe in here.
Even if the world turns upside down,
Xu Feng will never be the killer.
