"Ashes of Love"
EPISODE 18
Immortal, I heard that you are the Da Luo Jin Xian,
who has strong magic power.
I've been looking for you for a long time.
In order to see you, I've practiced hard every day.
I have accumulated a lot of magic power.
Can you do me a favor?
This is my best friend. Her name is Rourou.
Can you bring her back to life?
You will meet each other soon,
but you will have to bid farewell finally.
Really?
Thank you, Immortal.
As long as I can see her, I have nothing else to ask for.
My daughter is being rude.
Master, please remove the seal on her.
Thank you, Master.
Daddy.
Mi.
It seems that the seal has been removed.
But the big trial...
It's okay.
The Immortal has given me the scent.
Moreover,
with the protection from Daddy and Auntie Linxiu,
I am sure nothing bad will happen to me.
Alright.
This visit was really worthless.
What's worse, I was informed that I would die soon.
Who is Rourou?
She is my best friend,
but now, she is only this succulent.
But it's okay,
the Immortal said just now, that in the near future,
I will meet her again.
It's exceptional for you to be so affectionate
that you have always been concerned about her.
Well, I'm going to make rain in the Human Realm.
You go back to the Water Mirror and wait for me there.
Be sure not to run around.
Alright. Tare care, Daddy.
You are Fairy Jinmi, right?
I don't know whether I'm the Jinmi you are talking about or not.
Are there any fairies in the Heaven Realm with the same name as mine?
Don't get the wrong person.
The one who is engaged to the Night Immortal.
In this case, I am the Jinmi you are talking about.
I have one thing to ask you.
Please forgive me for my being bold.
Never mind. Go ahead, please.
My father said that no matter if it is in the Heaven Realm or Human Realm,
a man needs to have more than one wife to be a real man.
If the Night Immortal marries you,
can he marry others?
Do you mind if the Night Immortal marries others, Fairy Jinmi?
It's the Night Immortal's business,
and it's none of my business. I don't mind it at all.
Does this bearded soldier have affection for Fish Fairy?
I wonder what kind of girls the Night Immortal likes.
I just remember that Fish Fairy said he liked me,
but he never mentioned that he liked any other fairies or immortals.
I think he likes girls like me.
Why are you asking about this?
I have a friend who always admired the Night Immortal.
I don't understand very much about love.
I have an idea. Tell your friend to ask Match-Maker.
He knows much about this.
Your Highness.
Are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before?
I'm a subordinate of the Night Immortal.
Since you are the Night Immortal's subordinate,
and seeing as the night is falling,
why are you here instead of getting prepared for your job?
His Highness said we can make a balance between labour and rest.
When we should take rest--
I'm going to prepare for the night shift now, your Highness.
Go ahead.
XUANJI PALACE
Jinmi, you are really trustworthy,
coming to visit me and Xufeng so soon.
-Fox Fairy. -Uncle.
Good boy.
Jinmi,
since your real body became a frost flower,
you're becoming thinner and thinner day by day.
It's not as good as the round grape, which was plump and cute.
Xufeng, you have a task.
Bring her back to your palace, and build up her heath with nourishing food.
She has many relatives now. It's none of my business.
You have no right to criticize me. Look at you.
As a Fox Fairy, why do you have only one tail on your real body?
I heard that every fox elf has eight or nine tails.
What's more, you are the number one immortal fox in the world.
Why are you so shabby?
Don't you think that nine tails look stupid?
-Really? -If I hang my tails down,
I will look like a broom.
If I raise my tails,
I will look like a peacock with spreading tails. No...
Suihe with spreading tails.
Suihe?
Well, I prefer the way you look now.
Definitely.
Your Highness.
Don't gossip behind one's back.
Look, she comes immediately after I spoke of her.
What a coincidence!
-Auntie asked me to have a chat with her. -Hey, what...
I was going to Qiwu Palace after visiting Auntie.
I didn't expect to meet you here, Your Highness.
Moon Immortal, please take my respect here.
Good girl.
I heard
the Night Immortal is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Water Immortal.
But there was one big piece missing from the puzzle.
Now that the big missing one, Fairy Jinmi has appeared,
who is also the daughter of the Floral Immortal,
it's really like all flowers bloom together.
I wonder if the wedding day has been fixed.
Please don't forget to invite me to your wedding ceremony.
Wedding day...
I think it's coming soon.
Mother is still waiting for you. Don't let her wait for you so long.
You are right, Your Highness. I'm taking my leave now.
Jinmi, please inform me of your wedding date when it's fixed.
I will. Don't worry.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Tell me.
Do you really want to get married to Runyu?
Is there anything wrong with this?
Everyone is very happy about this.
Daddy and Auntie Linxiu also agree. They both think it's a good thing.
Why do you wear this expression every time you hear about my marriage?
Xufeng!
You naughty girl. What good was that?
You should be with Xufeng.
Do you think he is good? Then you should be with him.
-I won't take him from you. Don't worry. -You, you...
Xufeng?
Phoenix, are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's just a symptom caused by the Plague Needles.
I can bear it.
Since you feel pain, you should go to see the doctor.
How can you just bear and procrastinate?
-I'm taking you to Supreme Lord Lao now. -Don't be anxious, Fox Fairy.
-I can save him. -You?
When did you learn to treat patients?
He is my most precious nephew.
-Don't mess around. -Don't worry.
I have ancestral Night Rattan,
which can specifically remove the poison of Plague Needles.
The holy herb of the Floral Realm.
I didn't expect that you have this.
Well, hurry. We'll take him back to the Qiwu Palace.
-Okay. -Let's go.
Jinmi, Xufeng is entrusted to you.
Please take good care of him.
I will. Don't worry.
Fortunately, I made pills out of the Night Rattan.
Otherwise, there is really no solution.
You're awake.
This is the liquid medicine made from Night Rattan.
Since you are awake, drink it yourself.
What's wrong?
Headache.
Headache?
Didn't you have a chest pain? Why are you getting a headache?
Anyway, I feel pain in my whole body,
I don't know where I feel pain exactly.
As the saying goes,
one will be punished for his many misdeeds.
Who made you always bully me because of your strong magic power?
-What did you say? -Nothing, nothing.
Let me help you up first. Drink this medicine.
-What's wrong? -Too hot.
-What's wrong now? -Too bitter.
Try it now.
What's wrong this time?
-Too... -What?
You just don't want to drink it, right?
If you keep doing this,
then I will feed you the way I did last time.
-You-- -Your Night Rattan
has expired, right?
It doesn't work now.
Why am I still feeling so uncomfortable after drinking it?
No way.
-What's wrong? -I have a chest pain now.
What should I do?
I have an idea. I'll do massage on your chest.
Great.
Lie down.
He finally falls asleep.
Five times.
During one night. Five times.
After planting the Night Rattan five times,
he finally becomes quiet.
It's really a big waste.
It turns out that you are a bit concerned about me.
You are dead,
so how can your eyeballs still move?
No, no.
You have to show the whites of your eyes and put out your tongue.
And fall down with your neck being stiff. Can you?
Look at me.
Show the whites of the eyes and put out the tongue.
Try one.
Your eyebrows do not look appropriate.
Your eyebrows should be a little bit flat.
This way.
You are an immortal animal.
Why are you unable to pretend to be dead? Why are you so stupid?
What are you doing?
Yes, yes. That's it. Keep going.
Hold your breath. Don't move. This time you nailed it. You really nailed it.
-Beast of Dreams. -Keep going.
What happened to it?
-It is dead. -Dead?
-You-- -Well done.
You have mastered 50 percent of my trick. Keep it up.
To reward you,
I will change the meal for you tomorrow. How about cabbage?
It turned out that you...
As the saying goes, reading ten thousands books
is not more useful than mastering a skill.
This little beast looks very weak.
I am afraid that other beasts will bully it in the future,
so I taught it my unique secret trick.
In the whole world, no trick is more useful than pretending to be dead.
Am I right?
Fish Fairy, do you want to learn this trick?
Want me to teach you, too?
I won't learn it, and I won't t let you learn it.
As long as I am by your side,
I will protect you.
I definitely won't let you have the chance to use this...
this Jin's unique life-saving trick.
Fish Fairy,
your eyes look like you have drunk ten bottles of osmanthus wine.
It's just like you are bewitched.
Daddy.
Water Immortal.
Mi,
where were you last night?
Last night... Last night I went to the--
I heard that my uncle has become crazy about operas recently.
Yesterday, there was an opera show in the House of Marriage.
Mi has always been congenial with my uncle,
I guess she was invited to watch the show.
Right. I went to watch the show yesterday.
Moon Immortal likes being accompanied by many people.
Next time, let's go there together, Daddy.
Moon Immortal will be happy to see you.
I like quietness.
I can't bear the noise.
If you like, you can go yourself.
There was no rain in the Floral Realm today,
why does the rainbow appear?
Mi likes playing about.
I am afraid she can't find the way home,
so I made the rainbow bridge with water spray.
In this way, Mi can see the way home
whenever and wherever she looks up.
And she will remember that at the end of the rainbow bridge,
there is someone waiting for her.
The Beast of Dreams is waiting for her.
It doesn't seem that it's waiting for me.
Your Highness.
To be honest,
I was going to cancel your and Mi's engagement.
But, when I passed by the Northern Heavenly Gate
a few days ago,
I happened to see you two expressing your affection for each other.
Although I hate the Heavenly royal family,
I can't let my daughter make the same mistake her mother did.
My only wish now is to make you and your sweetheart be together,
and live a happy life.
True love is rare in this world.
In these few days, seeing that the Night Immortal really loves
and cares about you,
I feel assured now.
The Night Immortal is gentle and he can handle things well.
He is a trustworthy person.
Mi is not mature enough.
Night Immortal, please be tolerant of her.
Mi,
since you have affection for the Night Immortal,
you should focus on him.
Only in this way can you be together forever.
Don't let the Night Immortal worry about you again. Got it?
Got it.
I will live up to your expectation, Mister Immortal.
I'll take good care of Mi.
Mi and Mister Immortal have just been acquainted with each other,
you should spend more time being together.
I'm taking my leave now.
Let's go, Beast of Dreams.
Let's go, Daddy.
The Night Immortal is gentle and kind.
He's really a good match for you.
Daddy, it seems that you like the Fish Fairy very much.
Mi,
from now on, you should go to Qiwu Palace as seldom as possible.
Don't let the Night Immortal worry about you.
Why? We are friends.
If so, Phoenix will be unhappy.
Although the Fire Immortal is outstanding,
having been in the upper position for a long time, he is proud and aloof.
He can't bear any imperfection.
Moreover, he lacks generosity and kindness.
And his mother...
Forget it.
In short, since you and Runyu have been engaged,
you should allow for his feelings.
Don't let him be sad again. Got it?
Frontline military message.
At the northwest area of the lower reach of Wangchuan River,
the lords of West City and North City in Demon Realm are competing for territory.
The battle has continued for months.
Wangchuan River again.
The three kings of Demon Realm haven't handled this?
Your Majesty, we should come up with a solution quickly,
in order to not bring disaster to the Heaven Realm.
Father. Mother. Don't worry.
I have been paying attention to the front-line military situation.
The two city lords have borne grudges against each other for a long time.
They have been free from the regulation of the three kings,
so this is just an internal fight for territory in the Demon Realm,
which hasn't crossed the line.
Father,
I think preparedness ensures success while unpreparedness spells failure.
Wangchuan River is a crucial boundary between the Heaven and Demon Realms.
This chaos can be changeable, and shouldn't be underestimated.
I think we should assign a troop of soldiers
to station at the upper reach of Wangchuan River to show deterrence.
Xufeng, you are right.
In recent years, there has been much chaos in the Demon Realm. Xufeng,
you should share your Father's worries.
This really has bothered you a lot.
Your Majesty, you are too serious.
I have self-reflected.
I do have some misdeeds in the past.
From now on,
I will be loyal to Your Majesty and the Heaven Realm,
and I will do my best.
I'm willing to take soldiers to station at the Wangchuan River.
Me too.
Good.
Fire Immortal, go to the House of Soldiers,
select a troop of outstanding soldiers,
and take them to Wangchuan River.
If there is any change, take actions according to the situation.
Yes, Father.
Why am I so powerful now?
Mi.
Daddy. Auntie Linxiu
Why are you here?
Master is really powerful.
After the Garan Seal was removed,
Mi's power has improved a lot.
Mi, you should practice hard.
Your daddy has already asked the Heavenly Emperor to get you promoted.
Really?
Thank you, daddy.
-Jinmi. Jinmi. -What happened, Lianqiao?
The crow is coming.
The burnt one.
Phoenix. Where is he?
He's waiting for you outside.
The guest comes from afar. You should show your hospitality.
Go ahead.
Phoenix.
Where is your Phoenix hairpin?
I took it off.
Why did you take it off? It can protect you. Put it back on.
Daddy asked me to take it off.
This is Floral Realm. It's very safe here. Don't worry.
You are right.
Now you have daddy,
and there are so many people who accompany you and protect you.
Who am I to you?
You are... You are my...
I'm your what?
The Fire Immortal comes here from afar,
why not come inside and have a chat?
-Daddy. -Mister Immortal.
I'm just here to say goodbye to Jinmi.
I will lead the army to set out soon.
When I'm free, I will consult you about playing chess, Mister Immortal.
Your Highness, you are very ambitious and hardworking,
which is really a blessing for the Heaven Realm.
Phoenix, are you going to fight?
Then take much care.
When I leave, I won't be able to witness your promotion ceremony.
It's okay. I am going to make a pot of osmanthus wine for you.
I will celebrate your triumph when you come back.
Okay. For your osmanthus wine, I must come back soon, in triumph.
Luolin.
This is what I just learned to make.
Have a try.
Thank you.
When you saw the Fire Immortal today, did you make it clear to him?
The Fire Immortal seemed in a hurry. He's going to fight.
If I asked him to leave Mi at that moment,
it would disturb him, which would produce an unfavorable condition in the battle.
I am going to have a sincere chat with him
when he comes back.
Xufeng is bright and upright,
unlike his father and mother.
He loves Jinmi so much and so sincerely.
He can stand comparison with Runyu.
If he were not Heavenly Empress's son,
he would be a good match for Jinmi.
Jinmi and Runyu are in love with each other.
Moreover, they are engaged.
Whoever the Fire Immortal is, he should not get involved with them.
Floral elf Jinmi.
You are talented and pure,
and you have been converted to the supreme infinite Taoism.
For this, you are promoted to first level fairy.
I hope you will behave according to the Taoism,
keep practicing hard,
and always keep doing good deeds.
The heaven and the earth are witnesses.
Be careful not to catch cold.
When can we leave these worldly matters behind and travel away?
When I unify the six realms, we will have a son and a daughter.
Our son will be the Heavenly Emperor,
and our daughter will be the new Floral Immortal.
When that happens,
we will abandon ourselves to nature and travel around.
Okay?
Zifen, your girl has just grown up.
Let her fulfill our wish.
His Majesty gives you the Qinglian Crown.
Fairy Jinmi is the daughter
of the former Floral Immortal.
She should take over the mantle of the Floral Immortal.
Nowadays, there is no lord in the Floral Realm,
so it's reasonable to promote Jinmi to be the new Floral Immortal.
Your Majesty.
Wait a moment.
Lord Lao, what's your opinion?
Your Majesty, there has been no case in the Heaven Realm
of an elf being promoted to be an Immortal.
This is not in line with convention.
Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty.
Heavenly Empress, what's your opinion?
Your Majesty, Fairy Yuanji has something important to say.
You may listen and then make your decision,
so as not to mislead Jinmi's future.
Fairy Yuanji, what do you want to say?
Your Majesty.
Recently, there have been abnormal celestial phenomena.
I'm afraid disasters will happen to the denizens of the six realms.
I made many astrology calculations, and have finally traced it to the source.
The source of the disasters is Fairy Jinmi.
Me?
That's ridiculous.
Jinmi has not yet been promoted.
How can she affect the astrology?
I am afraid that you think too highly of my daughter, Fairy Yuanji.
Perhaps you made a mistake in your calculations.
Nobody knows.
I have calculated a hundred times.
Otherwise, how would I dare to tell His Majesty?
Fairy Jinmi is kind by nature,
but from the beginning, she is destined to die.
Lord Doumu also knows about this.
Water Immortal. Is it true?
Master has indeed told me about this.
In spite of stronger magic power,
Fairy Jinmi started practicing when she was an elf.
She doesn't have enough innate magic power,
and she hasn't practiced or experienced enough.
Her soul hasn't become pure.
If she gets promoted to be a high-level fairy or Immortal,
I'm afraid it will harm to the immortality doctrine of 6 the realms.
Therefore, abnormal astrology phenomena
appear as a warning.
Jinmi is no longer as she was before.
Fairy Jinmi is protected by the magic power from celestial beings,
but it can't consolidate her ultimate source.
I believe the Water Immortal
knows more clearly about this than I do.
Such being the case, is there any solution, Fairy Yuanji?
There is certainly a solution,
but I'm not sure whether Fairy Jinmi will agree or not.
What's the solution?
When she experiences enough hardships, the problem will be solved.
Experiencing hardships?
Among the beings in the six realms, human beings suffer the most.
Human beings are born to suffer.
As long as Fairy Jinmi deletes her memories of the Heaven Realm,
and experiences hardships in the Human Realm for decades,
which is just dozens of days in the Heaven Realm,
the problem will be solved.
It turns out to be so easy.
No problem.
But Your Majesty,
I have a ruthless request.
If I really have to experience hardships,
can you put me in Shanggu?
Why?
Because...
because the donkey burger of Shanggu is very famous.
I have coveted it for a long time.
Jinmi.
This matter is related to the immortality doctrine
and Fairy Jinmi's fairy soul.
When she finishes experiencing hardships and comes back,
there won't be any barriers for her to be promoted.
What do you think, Your Majesty?
Alright.
Since Fairy Jinmi you are also willing to experience hardships,
then, for the sake of your fairy soul,
and the immortality doctrine,
-Fairy Jinmi. -I'm here.
You go back and get prepare,
then go to the Human Realm in three days.
When you finish experiencing hardships and come back,
you will be officially promoted.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Immortal,
her Majesty wants to meet you.
HEAVENLY PALACE
The Sagittarius means "being alive", the Big Dipper means "being dead".
According to the numerology of human beings,
they must experience Sagittarius and then Big Dipper.
Finally, the whole mechanism will be managed by you, Fairy Yuanji.
You flatter me.
For thousands of years,
you have been devoted to your duties.
I surely know this.
You make calculations of the numerology of the six realms,
and hold balance between Yin and Yang.
Your contributions can't be denied.
You flatter me, Your Majesty.
It's my duty. I'm just fulfilling my duty.
I asked you to be here today, because I need you to do something.
If you do well, I will reward you.
Go ahead, Your Majesty.
I will do my best within my ability.
Do you know the bitterest hardship in the Human Realm?
Your Majesty,
the seven sorrows in the Human Realm are layers upon layers.
Each sorrow has its uniqueness.
It's really hard to tell which one is the bitterest.
Then, arrange for Jinmi
the bitterest possible fate for humans.
Well,
it's true that Fairy Jinmi's fairy root is not stable,
but her practice is not bad.
She doesn't have to experience the bitterest hardship.
As an elf,
she dreams to get promoted,
stealing the welfare of the six realms.
If this is uncovered in the Heaven Realm,
where is the dignity of the Heaven Realm?
Every elf will dream to enter the fairy class.
Since it is "experiencing hardships",
then she must experience the hardship that is most unlikely to be solved.
Only when she overcomes it, can it be called "experiencing hardships".
You are right, Your Majesty.
Experiencing hardships is not an easy thing.
Just a humble little fairy.
Do it without any restraints.
If you do it well, I will remember your contribution,
and you will be promoted.
If you don't do it well...
You've treated me with generosity and kindness.
I'm very grateful, Your Majesty.
I will do my best.
I'm going back to get prepared for this.
In three days,
I will send Fairy Jinmi to the Human Realm.
