"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 02
How's this? We'll search this side,
-you guys search that side. -Okay.
Hey!
This... What is this water used for?
Of course it's for washing feet, bathing, and washing clothes.
You uncivilized little demon, unbearable filthiness.
Fellow, you really are strange.
You just said this water is refreshing,
but now you say I'm filthy?
Could it be that magpies all like to get angry often?
Let me ask you...
this is the Floral Realm?
Precisely.
Hey! Are you leaving the Floral Realm? But you haven't paid me back yet.
How would you like me to repay you?
Now we are talking!
Just bring me to the Heaven Realm, then we'll be even.
No way...
I thought his skills were great.
How come with one tug he fell into the water?
This wretched bird! We definitely need to find it.
-Let's go over there to take a look. -Yes.
Jinmi
There was a bird yesterday that broke through the Water Mirror.
-Have you seen it? -Bird... What bird?
Can fly, has wings, and its body is burned with fire.
What is that moving?
I'm washing my feet.
Even if we have to dig several feet or turn the Realm inside out,
we have to catch that bird.
Let's go!
Fellow!
Fellow! Fellow!
No way...
He couldn't have died again, right?
How can this be any good?
I got it! Six Auspicious Treasures!
Fellow!
You're awake!
My Floral Realm's Six Auspicious Treasures is really effective.
What did you just feed me?
Six Auspicious Treasures.
What is Six Auspicious Treasures?
This is it. Onion, ginger, garlic,
celery, cilantro, and Sichuan pepper.
This is my ancestor's medicine for sickness,
and specifically for birds who have fallen into water.
Do you believe that I'll destroy you?
You want to destroy me? Fellow, I think you have it all wrong.
Earlier, you most likely also heard Floral Fairy Begonia say,
even if the Floral Realm has to dig several feet to find you,
they will still look for you.
So now,
the only person that can help hide you in the Floral Realm, is me.
If I'm found out, then you will be finished.
Once you are discovered, they will cut off your legs,
and make you into flower fertilizer.
My dignified Heaven Realm--
What about your dignified Heaven Realm?
Why would someone as dignified as me come here,
and be afraid of some Flower and Fruit Spirits?
You are too funny!
The great dignified man from the Heaven Realm, who comes and goes freely.
Then why every time you are in trouble,
it is me, the small fruit elf, who saves you?
You saved my life?
Two times!
I saved you twice.
But a person like me, is not the kind of arrogant person
who will force you into calling me your benefactor.
It is clearly you--
As the proverb goes,
A drop of water should be returned by a spring.
My kindness towards you meant I not only used one drop,
but four drops.
Four drops of fermented honey.
A favor that saved two lives.
The first time I saved your life, was the night of the day before yesterday.
I used 500 year old fermented honey,
to save your life and help you transform back to your true form.
Forget it.
Hey! I'm not done talking. I'm not done yet.
The second time was just now.
I used three drops of fermented honey to help you regain consciousness.
What on earth do you want?
Fellow. Didn't we discuss before?
If you can help take me out of the Water Mirror,
and bring me to the Heaven Realm,
then these four drops of fermented honey
and the two times I saved you, can be even.
What do you think?
No.
Wait! Don't go yet!
There's something I just thought of that I better tell you.
Okay, please say it
My true body is actually a bird.
Usually, I like eating fruit.
Forget it.
It seems like this place is not dangerous. I can rest here for a few days.
That's a very moody bird.
I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.
Really? Great!
We as fruits, cannot lower ourselves to the same level as a bird.
"King of Yancheng's Palace"
King of Gu City.
Go ahead.
Demon Lord! Congratulations!
You can all take your leave.
King of Gu City, where is this congratulations coming from?
I just received information
that the Fire Immortal has unexpectedly had an incident.
His whereabouts are unknown right now.
Is this information credible?
I heard that the Heavenly Emperor is furious.
He ordered ten thousand soldiers
to search for the Fire Immortal.
Congratulations, Demon Lord!
Thank you! Drink up!
Cheers, cheers!
That Fire Immortal is always so arrogant.
He destroyed so many soldiers in my Demon tribe.
God's way really goes in a cycle. He will pay for what he did.
Phoenix Nirvana is now escaping from death.
Now that the Heaven Realm has weak military power,
I think that
we can strike while the iron is hot,
and send soldiers straight to Huang Long.
King of Gu City is right.
Pass my order!
Inform the six ministries to recruit twenty thousand soldiers.
Gather them at the riverside of Wangchuan River in ten days.
March into the Heaven Realm!
Mighty Demon Lord!
Relax.
The Heavenly Guards have already been sent to search.
I believe that we will get some news soon.
I have a request.
If the Fire Immortal safely comes back,
can you agree to my request?
What is it?
The position of crown prince has been empty for a while,
All the celestials are talking about it.
Xufeng is the first son of the legal wife.
He has made great contributions in the battles,
and he is respected and supported by the public.
I wish your majesty can appoint Xufeng as the crown prince as soon as possible.
How come you suddenly brought this up?
What does the disappearance of Xufeng have to do with this?
Your majesty,
do you believe this was an accident?
I believe that someone has caught us off guard
to torment my son.
Liaoyuan's words are still lingering.
Will your majesty
excuse this person?
Liaoyuan also said that on that day
Runyu did not enter the Qiwu Palace.
If you want to place blame upon others,
you should show convincing evidence.
I did not want to be blunt before.
Secrets in the Heaven Realm are easy to bring trouble,
but now Xufeng is in danger.
Those who benefit from it,
are those who carry an ambitious heart like a wolf.
Your majesty, you must appoint him sooner
-to end the greed of these people. -Alright, alright.
No need to say any more.
Let's wait until Xufeng returns and discuss this then.
Xufeng is fearless and the bravest in the army.
How could he be easily harmed by others?
Runyu is virtuous and kind-hearted how would he so easily harm others?
My queen,
do not believe
these villains who stir up trouble between families of heaven.
Virtuous and kind-hearted, what a description.
Are you ready yet? I won't wait, I'm leaving.
I'm ready, I'm ready.
Let's go.
Are you bringing the entire house with you?
Not exactly.
It is a long way.
I don't even know if I will be used to living in the Heaven Realm.
Bringing more is better than bringing nothing.
Wild demon.
How could the Heaven Realm allow you to reside there long.
Do not bring one thing.
Not even one thing?
Fellow. Have you forgotten what this is?
This is the fermented honey that I spent 500 years cultivating,
and used it to rescue you.
You also drank four drops of it.
Although, when you were drinking it,
you weren't conscious.
You already know how effective it was.
In case you run into
some emergencies,
or something of vital importance.
Let's go.
Wait! Give me a second!
Don't worry, I wouldn't abandon you.
I'm ready.
You really are the oldest sister.
This success is not due to my own contribution,
but thanks to the effort of all the people in the enchantment.
The people in the enchantment can enjoy peaceful days again.
But recently,
I still could not find the breath of that flying bird.
I feel really anxious.
Maybe it died.
Or maybe it flew back the way it came.
It is not yet known.
Or maybe it has excellent skills and can handle itself in all situations,
with an untraceable track.
You worry too much, sister.
Not that I am arrogant,
the old enchantment was established by the former god of flowers before dying.
At that time, the god was weak in his power.
Now that four thousand years have passed,
the enchantment is already unstable.
The bird just accidentally took a strike.
Those who can break the enchantment of we sisters this time,
can be counted by two hands in all the six domains.
Was that the bird?
He has gone too far under our nose.
Sister, I will catch it immediately,
cut off its legs, and use them as fertilizer.
Fellow, can you be more steady?
It is making me feel dizzy.
If you keep doing this, I am going to throw up.
Believe it or not, I am throwing you down here.
I am really about to throw up.
Don't throw up, you!
I am flying in the sky!
I am in the sky!
Watch out, it's windy and foggy.
Be careful, it's not steady. If you fall out, I won't catch you.
It's my first time flying,
I need to see this beautiful scenery.
This is just the third level of heaven.
You are really inexperienced.
What's there to see?
Damn bird, stop there!
No no, Floral Fairy Begonia is near.
Let's go! Go, go!
Are all the people in the Floral Realm sticky like a limpet?
Please don't abandon me.
Even if you abandon me,
she will still cut off both your legs
and use them as fertilizer.
This celestial looks fine,
but has such a vicious heart.
It truly doesn't match your great appearance.
Damn bird.
Trespassing in my Floral Realm. Destroying the Water Mirror enchantment.
Was it your master Suihe who sent you here?
Suihe?
She cannot control me.
How confident.
Your master Suihe is incompetent,
I will give discipline in place of her, you evil animal.
Sorry for offending you.
This Little One has been chattering about leaving the Water Mirror.
Has she really left?
That's not possible.
Where can she go?
Mr. Hu.
-Great Floral Fairy. -Where did Jinmi go?
-Picking flowers in the jungle. -Washing clothes in the backyard.
-Picking flowers! -Washing clothes!
You have always been close with Jinmi. Where on earth did she go?
Great Floral Fairy,
we really do not know.
Everyone focuses on practicing brewing honey.
Every one cannot always stay together.
Could it be that she is playing hide and seek,
and hid herself?
I have used my power to detect the whole Water Mirror.
I did not find any breath of Jinmi.
She is not in the Water Mirror anymore.
These days, have you noticed any unusual behavior with her?
Yes.
Recently, her appetite has increased.
Of course a bird tribe.
The crow disappeared.
Little One disappeared.
Could it be the crow who ate Little One?
Heavenly Empress used to be head of the bird tribe.
Although not harmonious with our Floral Realm,
but with her position and honor,
there's no reason for her to come to the Floral Realm plundering a little elf.
Could it be that...
No matter what intention that bird has, whether it is planned or not,
Jinmi must be brought back.
Mr. Hu, you did not take care of Jinmi enough.
Go look for her immediately.
If you cannot find her,
I will cut your old skin and send you to a rabbit hole.
No no no!
Great Floral Fairy, I will go and look. I will go right away!
I will go, too.
What a crow.
I was just about to look for you and get revenge for Little One,
but you came in yourself.
-Go go go! -You old bungler.
Just open your eyes and see who I am.
You...
Sister!
You need to seek justice for me!
Why were you hurt like this? Who did this?
It was that damn bird.
I crossed his path in the third level of heaven.
I didn't expect him to have such strong power and fire attack techniques,
and he burned me like this.
The bird tribe values fire.
Suihe, the present leader of bird tribe is good at fire techniques.
This bird must be her trusted follower.
When you encountered the crow, did you see Jinmi?
Could Jinmi also be plundered?
That would be awful. The crow is cruel in its nature.
That girl...
I'm afraid bad things will happen to her.
It won't!
It won't, it won't!
"Yu Miao Zhou"
It turns out to be Great Floral Fairy's arrival.
It is nice to meet you.
Princess Suihe.
Great Floral Fairy never comes for nothing,
I wonder what brought you here today.
Even Great Floral Fairy got into a fight.
A few days ago, a flying bird broke into my Floral Realm,
plundered an elf, hurt a master,
and whose whereabouts are still unknown.
We hereby come to Princess Suihe to ask for an explanation.
Such a thing actually happened.
My floral elf witnessed it.
Everyone witnessed it, it has not been fabricated at all.
Although our Realm has always been in harmony with the rest of the world,
no bullying from foreigners is allowed.
If it really is the scum of our bird tribe stirring up trouble on purpose,
no need for Great Floral Fairy to step in.
I will place punishment on my own.
-Queling. -Yes.
From what's flying in the sky to what's not yet born,
interrogate them one by one.
She has no proof.
Who knows if she is provoking on purpose.
I can't stand anything like this.
Great Floral Fairy, please calm down.
After I arrest the offender, you can do anything with him.
Reporting to the princess Nirvana, the Fire Immortal has gone missing.
The Demon Realm has sent a hundred thousand soldiers
to the riverside of Wangchuan River intending to attack the Heaven Realm.
What? Follow me!
Wait. Everything has its order.
Today, the Princess should give me an explanation.
Everything has an order of priority. Suihe has important things to do.
Today, I am afraid I will let you down.
If I cannot win her,
how can I have the prestige to lead the bird tribe?
Nice one.
During emergencies, we need to be flexible.
We will surely catch the offender in the future
and file suit in the Floral Palace.
What happened, Great Floral Fairy?
What's wrong?
I have been hurt by Sui Yushan.
I need to rest.
Pass my order:
From today on,
the bird tribe is forbidden to eat.
If the bird tribe doesn't hand over our elf,
we will never provide them food.
Yes.
If you don't hand in Jinmi and the bird, we will not let go.
What's that smell?
Evil breath.
Has the climate in the Heaven Realm become so bad now?
I am about to suffocate.
The below domain is Wangchuan River.
It's weird.
Why is the evil breath so heavy today?
That's pretty big scale.
Wild demon, today I will show you around the world.
Great!
"The Border of Heaven and Demon, Lethe"
King of Bian City,
I asked you to recruit soldiers.
You keep slacking. See?
You recruited such a small group of soldiers.
Demon Lord, please allow me to report.
I believe there are three setbacks to this battle.
We recruited soldiers in a hurry, unprepared.
I tried my best to recruit only three thousand soldiers.
The Heaven Realm has always trained the best soldiers,
and they're at a level we cannot achieve.
This is one setback.
The truce agreement between heaven and demon is still effective.
If we openly tear up the agreement, we lose our integrity and support.
This is the second setback.
Fighting upfront alone on our own, this is not a feasible strategy.
This is the third setback.
Please think twice.
I have been hearing a rumor,
saying that King of Bian City and the Fire Immortal are very close.
I have always been reluctant to believe it,
but now that we have this opportunity in front of us,
while the King of Bian City is here,
spreading fallacies to deceive people,
and delay the battle.
It seems that this rumor is going to be proven true.
You...
Demon Lord,
colluding with the enemy, what should we do about that?
This crime should be sentenced to death,
dismember the body, and dump it in the Wangchuan River.
Take him down.
Stop!
Please allow me to report. My father never went against your order.
He has recruited a number of soldiers as ordered.
Where are the remaining soldiers?
They are here.
Do you remember our battle at Tushan Mountain thousands of years ago?
Liuying blocked eight thousand enemies alone.
Demon Lord had given precious words
to compliment me
for fighting thousands of troops alone.
Liuying has hereby come to request to be sent to the front.
Liuying, this is not usual war. You--
The King of Bian City is weak and sly,
but you have a wonderful daughter.
Listen to the order, Liuying.
I appoint you as the van.
Serve the wine.
Wait until we drink it off,
then lead the troops across the Wangchuan River,
wipe out the Empyrean Cloud Palace,
and capture the Heavenly Emperor.
I will award you a first class merit.
Grant the wine.
The Fire Immortal has come! It's the Fire Immortal!
Protect the Demon Lord!
King of Yan City is really arrogant and ambitious.
But occupying the Heaven Realm, you don't get a say in this.
And King of Gu City doesn't either.
Fire Immortal, I am reviewing troops here today.
Do you want to step in
and restart the war?
Quit finding excuses for yourself.
I was just up in heaven
and saw this evil leading the soldiers to cross over the Wangchuan River.
King of Yan City, since the battle between heaven and demon,
Wangchuan River has become the boundary across which no one offends the other.
This rule has been followed for tens of thousands of years.
Just as the King of Yan City reviews the troops,
did you forget about this rule?
If you really want to occupy the Heaven Realm,
please ask for my Phoenix Feather Arrow first.
I should say there must be...
some misunderstanding.
Disordered people.
King of Yan City,
with incapable soldiers and only an ambitious heart,
be careful.
I have long heard that the Fire Immortal is very brave,
and has been the top of the six domains.
There is no time like now.
Liuying is brave enough to request a battle with the Fire Immortal.
It turns out to be Princess of Bian City. I have heard a lot about you.
It's just, I never fight with women.
There is no gender difference on the battlefield.
Alright. Then I will make some concessions.
That's not necessary.
We people in the Demon Realm
are not as weak as you celestials in the Heaven Realm.
It has been a while,
and we still haven't seen attacks from soldiers of the Heaven Realm.
Maybe it is only him.
It's better to design a trap
to capture him alive.
Please think twice.
Today, the Fire Immortal suddenly appears.
We can tell that the Heaven Realm has released fake messages
intending to trick us.
The Fire Immortal leads three armies.
There must be backups.
I have already lost my face.
Do I even have to lose my army,
so that everything can end?
No offense.
I get to meet the Fire Immortal today. You really deserves the reputation.
I would never dare to challenge you.
Who else wants to take on the challenge?
100 thousand Demon soldiers
are not comparable with a girl.
Good. Very good.
King of Yan City,
there hasn't been a battle in a thousand years.
I am burning to do this,
but the rules are strict.
You can practice my soldiers more in the future.
Feel free to come and attack us,
I have millions of soldiers in the Heaven Realm.
We are all set to start the battle.
Ready for it all the time.
Fire Immortal,
the battle between the two fields is not a game.
I have always been proposing for peace.
About this, please help me spread the word.
Father,
when he took my whip, he looked like Mu Ci.
There will be a day when I can fight him simply and directly.
"Highest Palace"
How has Runyu been preparing?
Your Majesty,
the God of the Night has finished assigning soldiers
outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Come and report on the tasks immediately.
Runyu hasn't been through a battle.
This battle is just intended to make him settle in
and stabilize with the army.
As for the army lineup,
we have to count on Liaoyuan, and the soldiers from other directions.
I've followed the Fire Immortal for a long time.
Marching and fighting battles although not comparable to the Fire Immortal in any way
I am confident I will succeed in this assignment.
I hope that you can trust me and feel relieved.
If Xufeng is here,
why would I be worried?
Heavenly Empress arrives!
Your Majesty, please take a look at this.
This is...
This was found in the nirvana of Xufeng.
There must be someone who wants to hurt him.
But if you look in the whole Heaven Realm,
who would have such power?
Call Runyu!
Runyu pays respects to father and mother.
Somebody, come take him down.
What did I do? Please clarify for me.
Look what you did.
A hundred thousand soldiers.
How dare you to hand them to a disloyal, unfilial, unjust, and sinful person.
This ice does not belong to me.
Do you really not know?
This thing was found in the nirvana of Xufeng.
He did not disappear for no reason,
but rather, he was attacked by this.
His nirvana was cut off.
Such a strong water technique,
in this large heaven.
Who could it be, if it is not you?
Besides, a celestial saw you on that day near the Qiwu Palace.
You were on duty at the Northern Heavenly Gate that night.
At that time,
something was wrong with Xufeng's nirvana.
You tell me whether this is true.
Father,
that night I did go to Qiwu Palace.
Your Majesty.
Welcome.
HEAVENLY PALACE
Have you heard back from him?
-Your highness. -Your highness.
You are finally back, your highness. What danger did you encounter?
Were you hurt?
No worries. I just wandered for a couple of days.
I might have worried you all. Why are you here?
I heard that the Demon Realm has been intruding.
Suihe has brought the bird tribe to assist.
It is so great that you came back.
-You two may go. -Yes.
-Sorry for bothering you. -I am fine.
It is aunt who worries about you.
She couldn't sleep at night.
Heavenly Emperor sent out soldiers and troops
looking for you everywhere, but never heard back about you.
Your highness, where have you been these days?
All wild places.
It was also my first time there, but it was kind of fun,
so I stayed there for a couple of days.
Demon detected!
Who are you? Why are you near his highness?
-I am, I-- -Never mind.
Just a demon who wants to return a favor.
Your highness, you have a kind heart. Even if you are in danger,
you still care about others.
No no, you made a mistake.
It is the magpie who owes me a favor. Not me.
Fellow, explain it to her.
Fellow.
H-his highness,
it was his highness who was saved twice by me,
so he should return the favor to me, not I who should return the favor to him.
And one other thing, make sure you don't misunderstand.
I am not an demon, I am a decent grape elf.
Since you saved his highness,
then I owe you a favor.
Wait until I report to the queen,
you will surely be rewarded.
Now...
Please accept this. Take it as a sign of my gratitude.
This Rose Medicine is a rare treasure.
You can have a hundred years of spiritual power if you eat this.
Do you like it?
Yes, this is my favorite!
Your highness.
Congratulations on your nirvana.
We did not protect you well. Please place punishments.
Nirvana?
