"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 52"
Let me see if it's really tame?
No, I can't let him find out.
Xu Feng, are you okay?
Phoenix, I'm so sorry.
Tiger is not the only one that bites people.
A rabbit that bites people is even more unpredictable,
isn't it?
You brute! How dare you hurt Demon Lord!
It is our mistake, we shouldn't have let it in.
You can hand over the rabbit to me.
It's not easy to tame this rabbit.
I am afraid that it will hurt you.
I won't adopt it.
I will kill it for your revenge.
Kill it?
It is too easy on it.
I think,
we can pluck off its fur and peel off its skin.
Pull out its veins and shave its bones.
And cook it alive on the stove.
Cook it alive.
Yes.
Just hold on.
I will roast it myself and make it a snack for your drink.
Xu Feng,
you have changed.
You're now intimidating.
Xu Feng,
I feel kind of tired.
I am going to rest now.
Are you not going to eat the rabbit?
I understand your kind thoughts, just enjoy it yourself.
Be careful, it is cold out there.
You too, rest earlier.
Please spare our lives, Demon Lord.
We will catch it now.
No need.
- Just leave. - Yes.
Phoenix.
Do you really hate me so much?
You hate me so much,
but I miss you so much.
I miss you every single day.
I miss you very, very much.
I am sorry, Phoenix.
I didn't do it on purpose.
- Water. - What?
Water.
Water? Do you want to drink some water?
I will get it for you.
Write a love letter that begins with our first encounter.
One paragraph for every 10,000 years. One line for every 1,000 years.
One thousand years or 10,000 years,
- We will never forget each other. - Sui He.
Despite how frantic the world becomes.
In the love letter, I found the place where we meet in every life.
There I'll wait for us to watch the setting sun.
In the love letter, I found the place where we love in every life.
There I'll sing in the moonlight.
In the love letter, I found the place where I make a wish in every life.
Sui He,
they are already so close with each other.
I knew this.
Jin Mi, why must you come?
Why must you embarrass yourself?
Where should I go now?
Who should I find?
Pu Chi.
Pu Chi!
Pu Chi.
I will go back to the Flora Realm first.
The glass fire.
The glass fire?
He manages to survive after being burned by the glass fire.
Luckily Jin Mi rescued Yan You in time.
His primordial spirit is safe.
He will live.
Who did this?
Who hurt Pu Chi?
The only ones who could use the glass fire in this world,
are the Fire Immortal and the Heavenly Empress.
The Empress is dead now.
What's the grudge between Fire Immortal and Pu Chi?
Xu Feng didn't kill my father.
Then, who killed my father?
I won't tell you.
The beast of dream has never gone to the Qi Wu Palace,
but it went into my room instead.
Jin Mi, someone must be meddling with all these.
Not Fire Immortal.
It is definitely not Fire Immortal.
There's the third person.
It must be the third person.
He is the one who killed my father,
and the one who made me kill Xu Feng.
He is in the dark and you are in the light.
Jin Mi, you must be more careful.
When Pu Chi wakes up,
then we will know the truth.
Killed my father,
and led me to kill Xu Feng.
I will not live under the same sky with my enemy!
It seems like they have served you quite well these few days.
They even destroyed all your magical prowess.
Sui He,
one day,
you will receive your retribution.
You still speak too much even when the death is upon you.
What did you say just now?
Is it retribution?
Talking about retribution,
your retribution is here.
These few days, I have been thinking...
what will be the best ending...
for a traitor like you?
Death...
is too easy.
Today I will let you have a taste of...
what does it feel like to be in a living hell.
Let me go!
Let go!
What are you doing?
What are you going to do?
Get me out of here!
Fleshy!
Let go of me!
What are you doing? Let me go!
Let go!
Let me go!
Both of you are really good friends.
He saved you last time,
and now you saved him.
Lao Hu,
is there no other way to save Pu Chi?
There is a way.
However, it is extremely risky.
Tell me.
Have you heard of the prehistoric demonic monster, Jiu Ying?
The legend goes...
Jiu Ying is a monster made of fire and water.
He has both elements of fire and water within its body.
Its internal alchemy is the most marvelous.
Whether a person's internal injury is caused by magic of water or fire,
he can be healed easily by the internal alchemy.
Is it true?
Well, this is what I heard.
I also heard that,
over a thousand years ago,
Jiu Ying was killed by both Heavenly Emperor and Demon Realm.
However, its internal alchemy was too powerful,
its physical form died, but its spirit still lives.
Rumour has it,
the internal alchemy is now locked in an underground chamber of Demon Realm.
You must not go there.
This is only for your knowledge.
Every single person who went there never made it back.
If anything happens to you,
Heavenly Emperor and Chief Zhang will peel my old carrot skin off.
Let me find some other ways.
I will flip through that Book of Six Realms again...
and try to find if there is any other way that could save Yan You.
Mu Ci.
What are you doing?
No, nothing.
Nothing?
You look suspicious.
What are you hiding?
Actually,
I am just preparing a present for you.
It will only be completed on the 6th of June.
On the day when we get married,
I will give it to you.
Really?
Mu Ci,
do you know why I choose the 6th of June as our wedding day?
This is because...
Because it was the day when I kissed you for the first time.
What? Have you forgotten?
Of course I remember!
How could I forget such an important day?
I wouldn't dare to forget.
I don't think you dare to forget.
Little one.
Lao Hu.
Where are you going?
- Back to the Heaven Realm. - Back to the Heaven Realm?
Don't lie to me.
I'm sure you're going to find the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying.
Am I right?
Pu Chi is my friend.
He saved my life once.
No matter what, I will do my best to save him.
No way, no way. Do you want to kill yourself?
I was so silly, I am such a bigmouth.
- Such a bigmouth, bigmouth! - Lao Hu.
You always ask me to get over what happened to Rou Rou.
However, only when I can use my own power to save Pu Chi,
I will be able to let it go completely.
Please let me do what I must.
If Chief Zhang asks you,
insist that you know nothing,
I will not drag you into the trouble.
No way, no way.
Jiu Ying underground chambers' is very dangerous.
If you must go,
then I will go with you.
At least we can watch each other's back.
No way.
Your magical prowess is limited.
You will distract me if you go.
But I will be worried if you go by yourself.
Is your Mortal Realm Mirror with you?
Why?
"Jiu Ying Cave"
Someone broke into the Jiu Ying Cave.
Alert Princess Sui He.
Alright.
Little one, let me see where you are now.
Let me see where you are now.
Little one!
Don't move around, don't shake around.
You are making me dizzy.
Let me see where you are now.
Stop shaking your hand.
Little one, you are a clever girl.
You asked me to help you through this.
Lao Hu, this underground chamber is huge.
Where is the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying?
The internal alchemy of Jiu Ying...
is in the Jiu Ying Cave, the deepest part of the chamber.
That's right. This way.
Just go straight.
Go deeper.
Go.
Go, go.
You've reached the door.
Yes, this is the door.
Beyond this door, there will be the barrier.
It can be broken either by using the ultimate fire or the ultimate water.
Little one, you only have half an hour's time.
You must be quick, otherwise, you will be in great danger.
Here it is.
The internal alchemy of Jiu Ying is in there, open it up.
Alright.
Little one, we're running out of time!
Little one, hurry and break the barrier!
Alright.
I knew you will come here for the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying...
to prolong Yan You's life.
Jin Mi,
today you shall not make it out,
and you shall die!
Demon Lord,
a demon soldier reported that,
he saw both Water Immortal and Princess Sui He...
entering the underground chambers one after another.
Little one,
quick, show me!
This is The Wall of Jiu Ying!
It has nine eyes,
the red eye would be the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying.
Retrieve it before it wakes up.
Otherwise it will be very dangerous for you.
I got it.
Red.
Which one is red?
What?
You can't even distinguish the red colour?
Don't fuss with me.
You only have this one chance to get the real internal alchemy.
Otherwise, you will be devoured by the soul of Jiu Ying.
Hurry, the time is running out!
I know!
But I have no idea which one is red!
Let me help you, let me help you.
Lao Hu, tell me which one is red.
A bright object flashed in my eyes just now.
- Now I can't see anything. - What?
Sister, I've been stuck here for thousands of years,
please take me out of here!
Another one who intends to take my internal alchemy?
You are asking for your own death!
Why are there so many people who are not scared of death?
You clap once, I clap once,
let's guess where the internal alchemy is.
Little one, Jiu Ying has already woken up, leave now!
Jin Mi, leave now, come out now!
The internal alchemy is its weakness.
If it senses danger,
it will react the most.
I found it.
Nobody will take my internal alchemy away.
How did you know that the green one is my real internal alchemy?
Shut up!
The green one is not my internal alchemy.
Everyone knows that my internal alchemy is red.
If you take the wrong one,
you will be absorbed into my spirit and become a part of me.
- Do you really want to take this bet? - Do you really want to take this bet?
Lao Hu, did you see it?
I found it, it is the red internal alchemy.
Red?
Could it be...
Could it be that I've become colour-blind?
I will speak to you later.
You got it?
Seems like I've underestimated you.
Why are you here?
Hand over the internal alchemy to me!
What do you need it for?
As long as it is something that you want,
I will not let you get it.
Alright,
I'll give it to you.
Take it.
Sui He, get out of my way.
A good man should not block the other's way.
I will seize this chance to eliminate her,
and spare all the later trouble.
Why would you use the glass fire?
Aunt.
I have already transferred all of my magical prowess to you.
Now that you have the glass fire,
you must revive the bird tribe...
and help my son, Xu Feng to ascend the throne.
I have no regrets in serving you for so many years.
Now that I have this magical prowess,
let's see who else dares to oppose me!
Tell me,
my father,
did you kill my father?
So what if I did?
I also know that it was you who rescued Xu Feng.
But to him, I was the one who rescued him.
Jin Mi,
it is impossible between you and Xu Feng.
Today,
I shall avenge the death of my father and Aunt Lin Xiu!
It was her.
She was the one who killed my father!
Demon Lord, save me!
Little one!
What a lousy treasure!
It is always so unreliable during crucial moments, just like Hong Hong.
- Your Majesty. - Why are you so anxious?
Where is Jin Mi?
She has gone to the underground chamber of the Demon Realm by herself.
After she had taken the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying,
I lost contact with her.
I don't know how is she now.
She admitted that...
it was her who killed my father and Aunt Lin Xiu.
Phoenix, she lied to the both of us.
Ridiculous.
If I could kill the Water Immortal,
you wouldn't be able to hurt me either!
You used the glass fire just now.
It was you who killed my father!
It was you who sabotaged Xu Feng!
It is her!
She was the one who sabotaged you!
Sabotage?
Did she sabotage me...
or was it you?
Demon Lord, this woman is evil.
She killed you back then.
And now she is angry that I revived you.
She wanted me dead.
You sneaked into the Demon Realm over and over again.
Did Run Yu ask you to do so?
Don't even think that I am as innocent as how I used to be...
and trust you once more.
Today,
if you hurt Sui He,
I will make you vanish completely.
Demon Lord has given you a chance. Get out of here now.
When could I ever repay...
the debts I owe to my parents?
Even you wish to betray me.
No.
This is the only Huan Di Phoenix Feather that I have.
I will give it to you now.
Are you still not clear about my feelings for you?
Wear this Feather of Phoenix,
let it protect you.
No!
No.
Mi Er,
just hang on.
I will bring you back.
They are in this together.
Are you going to just let them off, Demon Lord?
Why are you here?
When I was trying to revive you, I lost my magical prowess.
I heard that consuming the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying can regenerate it.
I hence came here to retrieve it.
I've never guessed that Jin Mi is here too,
she intended to kill me.
If you want to take the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying,
you could just tell me.
You don't have to come here by yourself.
I don't want to make you worry about me.
You go first.
Even now,
are you still going to be obsessed...
and keep thinking about her?
Are you going to wait until they work together to...
burn you into ashes again,
and only then you would give up?
Xu Feng will believe me.
He will.
Little one.
Lao Hu...
Here, here, here.
Slowly, slowly, slowly.
How is Pu Chi?
Don't worry.
The Heavenly Emperor is now transferring...
the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying into his body.
He is going to wake up soon.
Don't worry.
That's great.
Little one,
what happened to your eyes?
My eyes?
What's wrong with my eyes?
I am asking you.
Why? Are you going to hide it from me?
How could you do that to me?
I asked you to take the red internal alchemy,
but you took the green one.
I took the green one?
Don't you know?
Little one,
could it be that...
you cannot see colours anymore?
Oh I see.
Why are you so silly?
For that Phoenix,
you gave your ability to distinguish colours.
You are the daughter of the Flora Immortal,
little one.
It's alright.
Don't ever tell Chief Zhang about this.
You know her.
If you tell her,
she is going to nag me for another hundred years.
Lao Hu, what happened?
Don't... Don't scare me.
Are you crying?
No.
Alright, you are not crying.
I have never seen you cried for thousands of years.
My tears are of the colour of the carrot.
Look, but you can't even see it now.
Don't cry, Lao Hu.
Well, the colour of carrot is really unique.
But there is nothing to be sad about, right?
Although I can only see black and white now,
I think, this world of black and white is quite nice.
I am no longer afraid of sunlight.
Also, there is a silver lining behind every cloud.
What you said makes sense too.
Luckily, you have lost your ability to distinguish colours.
Otherwise, you could have gotten yourself killed in the Jiu Ying Cave.
All these years, countless heroes never made it out...
because of the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying.
Whether it is the legends or the books,
they all said that the internal alchemy is red in colour.
This is precisely how sinister Jiu Ying is.
They create diversions.
Eventually,
numerous gods and demons have become sacrificial offerings for Jiu Ying.
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Did he run away again?
I thought it is going to take some time to catch you.
I have never thought that you are so weak.
But your remaining magical prowess...
can be used to make another Immortality Destructing Arrow, right?
Don't even think about it.
Liu Ying, I am sorry.
I am afraid I can't make it on the 6th of June.
Trying to kill yourself? It is not going to be so easy.
I will make sure you will...
make another Immortality Destructing Arrow willingly.
Pu Chi, you are awake.
You're awake!
Mi Er,
I heard that you risked your life and retrieved...
the internal alchemy of Jiu Ying for me.
I feel so touched.
My beauty, I know you care about me.
You are welcome.
Great, you are fine now. Great, you are fine now.
Yan You, did someone beat you up?
Fox Fairy, why are you here too?
Mi Er.
I asked Lian Qiao to invite Fox Fairy over and be our witness.
This time, my injuries...
are caused by the glass fire of Sui He.
That day, I went down to the Demon Realm with beauty...
to see that proud Phoenix.
But my beauty was gone suddenly.
I bumped into Sui He as I was looking for her.
Why are you following me?
I heard that,
you now declare yourself as the savior of the Demon Lord?
I thought I am already thick-skinned.
But, when I compare myself to you, I paled into insignificance.
You and I both know that,
it was Jin Mi who saved the Demon Lord.
You took someone else's credit,
aren't you afraid that the Demon Lord will find out the truth...
and blame it on you one day?
How did you know it was Jin Mi who rescued Xu Feng?
It was me who went to the Snake Mountain with Jin Mi.
I saw it with my own eyes,
as to how she risked her life to beg for Light of Xuan Qiong,
which was the guiding medicine for the Nine Spins Reviving Elixir.
No way.
I will see the Demon Lord and let the justice be served for Jin Mi.
How are you!
Why not?
This time,
I won't let you destroy my happiness like what you did in the mortal world!
