"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 13
Two honorable immortals from Heaven burst into our realm many times.
We just figured out why the Fire Immortal accidentally got into our Realm.
Could you explain the intention of your breaking in?
Fairy Jinmi is such an outgoing and energetic lady.
She is curious about everything,
but she seems unhappy to be restricted in the Water Mirror.
As a friend of Fairy Jinmi, I just want her to have more freedom.
I don't think you are honest with us.
The Fire Immortal is straightforward,
why can't the Night Immortal tell us the truth?
I have never done anything that crossed the line,
so I am telling the truth,
I do treat her as my friend.
Floral Fairies, please don't blame the Fish Fairy.
Fish Fairy is a good dragon, and I like him.
What did you just say?
I said, Fish Fairy is a good dragon.
I...
Thanks for the favor, Fairy Jinmi.
I like you, too.
How come you and the God of the Night...
Do you know who Jinmi is?
Do you know why she can create flowers?
Do you know about the Liuzi Pond in my Qiwu Palace?
Do you know the name of the former Floral Goddess?
Do you know
that Jinmi is water by nature?
Do you know that the former Floral Immortal's real body
is a piece of water lily?
Do you know...
Jinmi, you and me
are half-siblings?
Oh my God.
How come I have so many birds and beasts relatives?
If this is true,
then the Heavenly Empress would be my stepmother.
So horrible!
It's okay.
Even though we three are siblings,
it's not that bad.
Tell me, Fairy Jinmi.
Besides me,
do you also like Xufeng?
-Yes, I do. -What about the Match-Maker?
Of course.
-What about Yanyou? -Yes.
What about Liaoting and Feixu, the servants of Qiwu Palace?
Yes.
What about Great Floral Fairy?
If Great Floral Fairy won't be so hard on me,
I will like her even more.
Forget it. You are so heartless.
If you still want to be alive, then go back to the Floral Realm with me.
No, I don't want to.
I'm useless.
I didn't expect that His Highness would be bewitched by Jinmi to such a degree
that he ruined your birthday.
That sprite went to the banquet in disguise, so I don't blame you.
But she dared
to show her real body in front of Heavenly Emperor
and Highness who is in charge of water.
What's her intention?
The Heavenly Realm is a quiet place.
The Rat Fairy even brought a rat to the banquet,
making such a mess.
Although it is unintentional, it's really absurd.
So funny.
The Snake Fairy went to the banquet with a sprite.
And the sprite was scared by the Rat Fairy.
I'm not sure. I will check it out.
With all due respect,
His Highness and the God of the Night have unusual relationship with that girl.
If left unrestrained,
I'm afraid they will make the same mistake
as Heavenly Emperor and Water immortal.
And the Snake Fairy Yanyou has always been infamous.
Aunty, don't forget
why he was demoted thousands of years ago.
Is it possible
that another Zifen exists in the six realms?
I won't allow
something that can bring disasters and chaos to Heavenly Realm to happen again.
Go back and take some rest now.
Yes, aunty.
-Your Majesty. -Go and check the information
about those lower-level fairies who came to the banquet today.
Especially the 12 Zodiac Fairies.
Check it carefully.
I'm wondering which sprite dared to ruin my birthday banquet.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How is Jinmi?
She's fine.
Besides, her magic prowess is stronger.
I cooked some soothing medicine for her. Let her drink it and go to bed early.
This time Jinmi showed her real body in the Heavenly Realm.
I'm afraid ther birth information will be uncovered.
It's ridiculous that the God of Fire thinks he is Jinmi's half-brother,
closest relative.
Him? He doesn't deserve it at all.
There is nothing wrong
about making him misunderstand and give up the hope completely.
Don't forget how the former Floral Goddess died.
This is a deadly feud.
No mater what happens,
Jinmi shouldn't have any more connection with the sons
of Heavenly Empress and Heavenly Emperor.
Do you know who Jinmi is?
Do you know why Jinmi can create flowers?
Do you know about the Liuzi Pond in my Qiwu Palace?
Do you know the name of the former Floral Goddess?
Do you know that Jinmi is water by nature?
Do you know that the former Floral Goddess's real body
is a piece of water lily?
Do you know...
Jinmi, you and me
are half-siblings?
What is the connection between Liuzi Pond and my ability to create flowers?
What is the relation
between the former Floral Goddess's real body and name and me?
How come we become half-siblings
in a blink of an eye?
The Heavenly Empress becomes my stepmother.
Phoenix's thinking is really leaping.
The former Floral Goddess wanted Jinmi to be a free and happy fairy
without getting involved in any romantic relationship.
We should definitely keep this secret as long as we can.
What's more,
Jinmi haven't experienced her destined disaster.
So it is really improper for her to leave the Floral Realm.
From now on,
we take turns to do the night watch and stay in the courtyard.
Yes.
But now, everyone has seen Jinmi's real body.
I'm afraid the Heavenly Emperor will come and ask for explanation.
How dare he!
If he dares to ask,
then let him go to the Floral Goddess's Mausoleum
and reason with the former Floral Goddess.
What a close call!
I can't hear clearly what they were saying,
but I think it is something good for me.
Although it's very boring to practice in Water Mirror,
it's better than being taken and killed
by the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightening.
What do you think, Rourou?
So sleepy.
I have run away.
But he still catches me back in my dreams.
Why is Heavenly Emperor so stingy like his wife?
I venture to take you
to this Fantasy Land.
I hope that you don't mind.
Not to condemn me.
Your Majesty, you are too modest.
I didn't expect that
I would actually meet Your Majesty in the dream.
This is Fantasy Land
a place where the Immortals travel and practice.
Occasionally the illusion appears in the Human Realm.
Human beings would call it Mirage,
thinking that it is formed
by the breath of toads in the sea.
When I first heard this, I couldn't help but laugh,
thinking that human beings were ignorant.
Until 90,000 years ago,
when I traveled here at night
and saw her stepping on the water
with lotus following after her every step.
Removing the mist
that hided her face when she glanced back,
I started to know what fantasy is,
and what mirage is.
I'm Taiwei, from the Heavenly Realm. May I have your name?
Since she passed away,
there have been no flowers in the Heavenly Realm.
I haven't been here for a long time.
So alike.
I almost mistook you for someone else
in the mist.
But when I look at you carefully, I find nothing alike.
She didn't like laughing.
During the 90,000 years we knew each other,
I saw her laugh only ten times.
Her occasional laughing wouldn't last long.
She is not as bright and sweet as you.
If without me, during these 90,000 years,
she would have laughed a lot,
and wouldn't have ended her life in loneliness like this.
She is already gone.
Please restrain your grief, Your Majesty.
There have been no plants in Heavenly Realm and this Fantasy Land
for over four thousand years.
I heard that you can create flowers.
You might as well plant some green lotus here.
Why did he suddenly mention planting flowers?
He's really Phoenix's father. Even his thinking is so leaping, too.
According to Phoenix, he seems to be my father, too.
So I should fulfill my filial duty.
Okay.
Sure enough.
Please restrain your grief, Your Majesty.
I can only do this to comfort you.
Do you know who I was talking about?
I'm still so young and I have stayed in the Water Mirror for long time.
The people I know are some vegetables and fruits.
I really don't know any reserved person
who only laughs once ten thousand years like you talked about just now.
But as for those shallow ones who laugh ten times a day, there are plenty of them.
Please don't mind my lack of experiences.
I don't know who you were talking about, Your Majesty.
The person I talked about
was the Floral Goddess Zifen.
You are more than four thousand years old.
Could it be you have never seen Zifen?
Never.
I didn't expect that
she actually hated me so much
that she even didn't want to see her child.
Your... Your Majesty.
You... you can't say things that are not true.
This dream is too strange.
Why does the Heavenly Emperor come to my dream?
The former Floral Goddess is a piece of lotus.
And I am a grape. How come she is my mother?
The father and the son's thinking are so leaping.
No, this is my dream.
It seems that my thinking is leaping.
It's Phoenix's fault.
In daytime, he always talks about things that are not real.
I'm dreaming so deeply. Time to wake up.
It seems that it's not a common dream.
Forget it. Since I'm in dream now, I should enjoy it.
I don't have many chance to meet the Heavenly Emperor.
It's better to ask him for some magic prowess.
To have a dream of getting much magic pprowess is so worthwhile.
Your Majesty. If you like to watch me plant flowers,
I can do it for you.
And it's also okay if you assign me to be a gardener in Heavenly Realm.
But...
Well...
What's wrong?
If you have any difficulties, let me know.
My magic prowess is not strong.
Although I have practiced hard,
I'm still an elf.
I know some tricks of planting flowers and grass,
but I still need the power from the outside to create them.
So you have seen my poor performance, Your Majesty.
Zifen must have sealed your spirit.
How about this?
I'll give you some magic prowess.
And you go back and practice for 49 days.
Then your real body will show up.
How can I afford to the magic prowess you give me,
Your Majesty?
Good girl.
You don't have to be so distant to me.
It is a matter of righteousness that I give them to you.
Thank you so much, Your Majesty.
But your power is not strong,
so I can only give you five thousand years magic prowess.
Five thousand years!
Thank you so much, Your Majesty.
If I hadn't make that mistake tens of thousands of years ago,
Great Floral Fairies wouldn't have considered the Heavenly Realm as enemy.
And we wouldn't see each other in dreams at night.
Sorry to make you feel wronged.
I don't feel wronged. Not at all.
You give me five thousand years of magic prowess in one night.
You don't even feel wronged. Why should I feel wronged?
I hope this is not just a dream.
As for what I owe Zifen, I will slowly make compensation to you.
But you should keep one thing in mind.
Go ahead, Your Majesty.
I will do whatever you ask me to do at all costs.
You should keep in mind
you can't have any romantic relationship with Xufeng and Runyu.
Understand?
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
It's easy.
"Luo Xiang Mansion"
Are you thinking about the grape elf
who appeared at the birthday banquet of the Heavenly Empress?
That elf and she do have some resemblance.
For when I saw that elf, I keep thinking about Zifen.
In these years,
you never mentioned Zifen in front of me.
But I know,
in your heart,
she has never left.
Linxiu,
it's really unfair for you
to marry me.
I'm not blaming you.
In these years, we have respected each other like guests,
living a peaceful life. I'm already satisfied.
It's just that seeing your heart still closed,
I feel sad for you.
Linxiu.
If you miss her,
then just go to see her.
Okay.
Right. It's late now.
Go to bed.
You, too.
ZIFANGYUN PALACE
You took action first without my permission,
letting that sprite go back to the Floral Realm.
And then you come to report your guilt now.
Mother, please don't be angry.
You are the noble son of the Heavenly Emperor.
So many people watch you everyday.
But you make friends with that bad-mannered sprite
who even hasn't become immortals.
And you even argued with me in public for her.
How can I feel relieved?
Jinmi has saved my life for many times.
And because her power is weak, I have to help her.
Jinmi is young and ignorant, knowing little about manners and rules.
But she means no harm.
Tell me.
Do you really just want to repay her?
Or you already fell for her?
I didn't.
Good.
Then promise me that you will never see that sprite again.
So I will forgive her.
Yesterday I promised Great Floral Fairy
that I won't see Jinmi again.
Mother, you can feel relieved now.
Relieved?
Only when you really become the Heavenly Emperor,
leading the Heavenly Realm, marrying Suihe and having kids,
I can really feel relieved.
You're thinking too much, Mother.
I have to go and train the soldiers. Bye for now.
If I didn't think much, how can you enjoy the current status?
Your Highness, you just rested after night patrol.
Why bother to go to Floral Realm and exhaust yourself?
I heard Great Floral Fairy has always been strict with younger generations.
I took Jinmi to the Human Realm without her permission
and nearly made a disaster in the Heavenly Realm.
I am afraid that Great Floral Fairy won't forgive Jinmi easily.
I'm going to the Floral Realm. You don't have to follow me.
Yes, Your Highness.
Oops!
She won't forgive Jinmi easily.
Heavenly Empress has already held grudge against you, Your Highness.
If you go there now,
I am afraid things will get worse.
And problems will be more difficult to solve.
Xufeng was so sure yesterday that Jinmi is Father's daughter.
The way Father looked at Jinmi yesterday was really unusual.
-I'm going to ask Father for help. -Okay.
I'll go to the Floral Realm to inquire.
Be careful.
I pretended to be a descendant of the former Floral goddess
and got five thousand years magic prowess from the Heavenly Emperor.
You're generous.
You won't blame me, right?
I don't know what you like to eat.
If you need anything, you can tell me in my dreams.
I will take good care of you at all costs.
SHRINE OF THE DESEASED FLORAL FAIRY
Here, I'd like to express my thanks to you.
In fact, I should celebrate such a lucky thing with everyone.
But I'm not in the Heavenly Realm,
so I can only invite Mr. Puchi to celebrate it with me.
Heavenly... Heavenly Empress.
I could call Mr. Puchi before with small part of my power.
I didn't expect that I would be able to call Heavenly Empress
after my magic prowess gets much stronger.
Your Majesty. Why are you here?
Before you die, I'd like to teach you some manners.
Your Majesty. What are you doing?
What manner?
I don't care who you are.
And I don't care what relationship you have with Xufeng and Runyu.
Just because of your face, I would like to kill you thousands of times.
You and Zifen really have a bond.
You will die a worthy death here.
I don't know what you mean.
-How long ago? -Half an hour.
Mother, she must be impulsive and angry.
If Father you are a bit late, I am afraid that Jinmi will die.
Jinmi is my child.
If I go to stop Tuyao hastily,
she won't let Jinmi go easily.
How about this? You pass on my order quickly.
Ask your Mother to come back,
telling her that there are things to discuss
about rewarding fairies and forgiving the sins in the Heavenly Realm
after her birthday.
Since Jinmi is Father's child, she is also my sister.
Please don't worry, Father. I will try my best to protect her.
Mister Water Immortal.
Don't you know the law of superiority and inferiority ?
Why are you here to interfere with me
instead of going to making wind and rain?
I certainly know the law of superiority and inferiority.
But former Floral Goddess and I were old friends.
Today, I'm here to show my worship.
But I didn't expect that this child was almost killed.
I'm here to punish a little floral elf. It's none of your business.
Jinmi is an elf of the Floral Realm.
Since it is in the Floral Realm,
only Floral Goddess and Great Floral Fairy
have the right to decide who is guilty and deserves punishment.
Zifen has passed away.
In front of her tomb,
how can you lay murderous hands
on such a low-level elf?
You said you knew the law of superiority and inferiority.
But actually, you're here just for the sake of Zifen.
You do this,
just because this sprite
looks a little like Zifen, right?
No matter what reason,
I can't let you do this.
Do you think you can stop me?
Mother,
I've been looking for you for a long time.
Fish Fairy.
Mister Water Immortal.
Fish Fairy, save me.
Mother.
I haven't allowed you to stand up.
Mother,
I'm just following Father's order.
He asked you to go back to the Empyrean Heaven now
to discuss rewarding fairies and forgiving sins in Heavenly Realm.
Your Majesty, you are a motherly model in Heavenly Realm.
You should assume your personal command in Heavenly Realm,
minding your words and behaviors.
If you disturb the Great Floral Fairies, bringing the arguments to His Majesty,
I am afraid it will damage your good reputation
of virtue and kindness.
Fine.
You can be on your own now, God of the Night.
You're more and more powerful,
daring to conspire against me
with others.
I don't dare.
Mother,
please.
Mister Water Immortal. Fairy Jinmi. See you.
Thank you so much, Mister Water Immortal.
Fairy Jinmi, are you here to accompany Zifen by her tomb?
It's not a big deal.
Jinmi, Jinmi.
"Looking for peace among the blooming flowers.
Leading a life of floating clouds and water."
These are two lines of poem
that was hung in front of Zifen's desk when she's alive.
I copied these two lines of poem, mounted and hung them for her.
I didn't know
Zifen still has a child left in the world.
Mister Water Immortal.
According to what you said,
am I really the child of the former Floral Goddess and the Heavenly Emperor?
Mr. Puchi.
Jinmi. Can you improve your accuracy?
You'll kill me sooner or later.
I'm being so rude. Mister Water Immortal.
Yanyou, are you here to play?
No. No.
I never chase around girls.
I trespass the Floral Realm because Jinmi called me.
Your magic prowess becomes stronger.
Is it you who called Mister Water Immortal?
When you call Yanyou, what spell do you use?
My magic prowess is weak. I just use the common call spell.
The real body of Yanyou is a water snake.
Can you call water?
The God of Fire said that my body constitution is cold-oriented.
So he let me practice some water-related magics.
I created hail stone twice.
-But I have never tried to call water. -Then try it.
Me?
Now?
Fine. Then I'm going to try it today in front of Mister Water Immortal.
Call!
You still can't call water with your magic prowess.
I'll try again.
Call!
You are just a common elf. Why parade your ability?
How are you?
Such a big cloud.
It's so dark.
Jinmi
Great Floral Fairy.
Mister Water Immortal, what's wrong with Jinmi?
Look!
It's snowing.
I can call snow.
I can call it.
Your Highness.
Why did Water Immortal go to the Floral Realm?
It seems that he went there to worship the former Floral Goddess.
The Heavenly Empress was going to kill Jinmi
and destroy the former Floral Goddess's Mausoleum.
I didn't expect
that Mister Water Immortal would arrive in time and save Jinmi's life,
even at the cost of offending the Heavenly Empress.
Water Immortal has never cared about the worldly things.
But when he saw Jinmi, his reactions were too unusual.
I'm going to the Floral Realm again.
If the Heavenly Empress attempts to hurt Jinmi again, inform me quickly.
How is Jinmi?
Is it because of too much lost of magic prowess?
That heavy snow was called by Jinmi.
If Jinmi is not water by nature,
how can she call Yanyou?
What's the real identity of Jinmi?
If Jinmi is just a common elf,
why are you and Floral Fairy Begonia being so nervous?
I'm just a floral fairy of the Floral Realm.
Water Immortal, don't you know it better than anyone else?
Do you need others to tell you the truth?
Jinmi looks so much like Zifen,
but she said she was a grape.
I really can't figure out the reason for this.
You've been taking care of Jinmi since she was born.
Today, only the Great Floral Fairies
can tell me the truth.
I said that Jinmi's tendency to be confused is born by nature.
It turns out that there is some reason for this.
Did you say...
Is Jinmi really...
Don't ask me, Water Immortal.
I can't tell you everything.
We swore in front of the Floral Goddess.
If we leak out anything about Jinmi's birth, we will destroy our souls.
Please forgive me, Water Immortal.
The essential qi in Jinmi's body is in disorder.
Did you give Jinmi magic prowess?
This is the first time I privately met Jinmi.
The magic prowess in Jinmi's body is so strong
and overwhelming.
With my ability, I can't dissolve it.
For the sake of Jinmi's life,
we don't have other choice.
How is Jinmi?
The yang qi in her body is very strong.
I don't know who gave her so much yang qi,
which contradicts her Yin nature.
If I weren't here today,
I am afraid that she would be in danger.
Thank you so much, Mister Water Immortal.
If something wrong happened to Jinmi,
how can we explain to the former Floral Goddess?
Jinmi turns out to be my child.
