Heavy Sweetness, Ash like Frost (Ashes of Love / Xiang Mi Chen Chen Jin Ru Shuang / 香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

"Ashes of Love"

"Episode 10"

People say that every mother knows her son well.

But my son and I don't share the same thought.

I don't know what for I'm doing all these.

Aunt, the prince will understand your effort one day.

It's just that now,

he's surrounded by people with evil intentions.

The Princess of Biancheng, Liu Ying only knew him for a few days.

Yet she's already calling him Brother Feng.

She doesn't care if he will...

be criticised by others in Heaven Realm.

It's just a demon's trick. Don't mind that.

What's your opinion on Xu Feng getting injured...

in Demon Realm?

I think something is fishy.

With the prince's cultivation,

he won't be injured so easily.

I believe Liu Ying is not someone ordinary.

She wouldn't let someone from Heaven Realm who provides help to get hurt.

In my opinion,

there's another story behind this.

Go check it out at Demon Realm.

Watch out for Qiong Qi and the 3 Demon Kings.

See if Run Yu is colluding with them secretly.

And report it to me.

Yes, aunt.

Princess, I've brought him here.

Greetings, Princess Sui He.

So you're the soldier that...

came late for conscription and was taken by Xuan Ji Palace?

Yes, I am. Is there anything you need me for?

Well, is Night Immortal treating you right?

Yes.

How?

He only appears at night and always keeps to himself.

Although I seldom see him,

he's quite good to fairies like us.

He always greets us.

Is this even good treatment?

Do you want to work for Fire Immortal?

Help me with this,

and I'll get you there.

Choose anywhere you like at Divine Army Mansion.

As for your position,

as long as it's not a high-ranking position,

you may choose whichever position you like.

What do you want me to do, princess?

Keep an eye on the Night Immortal.

Every move he makes,

the people he meets and things he says,

tell me everything regardless of its importance.

Is it hard?

You'd have a promising future if you work under Fire Immortal.

This big fortune is wanted badly by other immortals.

What good have I done...

to deserve such a big fortune.

I heard that Fire Immortal is very strict with the army.

He personally picks his own soldiers.

So, why is it that you have the power...

to pick the soldiers, Princess Sui He?

Don't you worry about that.

I'm a person of my word.

Actually, on conscription day,

it wasn't because I came late that I had to go to Xuan Ji Palace.

I went there on my own will.

You're so lacking ambition.

So, you're not doing it, huh?

Everybody has his own aspiration. Please forgive me, princess.

If you don't obey me today,

you'll be offending me.

Which means, offending the Heavenly Empress.

Princess, you mean...

it's the Heavenly Empress's will to keep an eye on Night Immortal?

Certainly.

It's only until today that I know...

why Xuan Ji Palace is so cheerless...

with only a few people.

So, it's because...

the Heavenly Empress is treating you like this.

During these thousands of years,

none of them had gone through the test.

They were all kicked out by me.

Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Empress?

I am.

But everyone has his own ambition. They can't force me.

Moreover, I don't know how to lie.

I'd certainly expose myself.

But I've never wanted to betray you.

You have to believe me, Your Highness.

Kuang Lu, thank you.

I hope that you will...

trust me like the way you trust the beast of dream.

The Heavenly Empress is still very suspicious of you.

It's hard to protect yourself.

You must be careful, Your Highness.

I've got used to it. It's okay.

As long as she can't find my mistake,

she can't do anything to me.

If only there's meteor.

If there is meteor,

maybe the phoenix will be here.

Meteor.

Phoenix!

- Phoe... - You're indeed bored, huh?

Fish fairy, why are you here?

I came here without informing beforehand,

please don't be angry.

What are you talking about? I'm idle these few days.

You're most welcome to come here to relieve my boredom.

You must be worrying about Xu Feng.

He's fine now.

He is recuperating at Qi Wu Palace.

This time, it's all thanks to you, Jin Mi.

Luckily he's fine.

I was so worried about him.

I was just thinking that...

if there's a meteor, maybe the phoenix will be here.

That's why I thought that the meteor was Phoenix.

So, do you like it?

Yes, I do.

It's so beautiful.

Fish fairy,

can you take me out of Water Mirror?

I want to see the outside world.

Hmm...

Okay.

Yay!

That's great!

We're out.

You're so amazing, Fish fairy!

The barrier can't be broken by needles or water.

Fruits like us...

can only come out after cultivating for 10,000 years.

Even Lao Hu has to...

chant the water-breaking spell for a very long time.

But you, you managed to bring me out so easily.

You'll indeed have a great future.

There's nothing special. You've overpraised me.

Let's go, then.

This way.

King, the Heavenly Emperor promised to...

attack the Demon Lord after Qiong Qi's incident.

But nothing has happened until now.

The Heavenly Emperor...

is still unreliable.

In the war of Heaven and Demon ages ago,

he did not keep his promises but abandoned us.

If it weren't for you,

how did he become the Emperor so easily?

If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't trouble myself...

to let Qiong Qi go.

Now that Heaven Realm had taken Qiong Qi back,

the Demon Realm has suffered a great loss.

If that's the case,

your plan to eliminate Demon Lord has come to nothing.

We can't rush in seizing the title of Demon Lord.

About that throne,

I have my own way to get it.

Heavenly Emperor is very ambitious. Heaven and Demon Realms...

can't satisfy his greed.

So now,

we can't fuss over our losses.

Since the Heavenly Emperor has taken Qiong Qi,

I'll let him fight at the front.

When the time comes,

I will definitely rule over the six realms.

You're almighty.

According to the scout we sent to Demon Realm,

His Highness was indeed hurt by Qiong Qi.

The 3 kings in Demon Realm have no contact with Night Immortal.

I have thought too highly of him.

But of the people who went to Demon Realm,

there was also the grape fairy, Jin Mi,

other than Night Immortal.

You mean...

she has something to do with Xu Feng's injury?

Was Jin Mi...

Xu Feng's reading assistant at Qi Wu Palace?

You even praised her before.

I was careless.

Back then, Chief Zhang stopped providing food...

to the bird tribe because of a lost flower fairy.

I found out later that the fairy was Jin Mi.

I see, it was her.

Go on.

The strange thing is...

Qiong Qi was sealed inside Soul Cauldron by His Highness...

with Nine Luminaries Fire Seal,

but who knows he was still able to escape the cauldron.

When Qiong Qi attacked him with plague needle,

Jin Mi was in the room too.

But no one knows what actually happened in there.

I think...

Jin Mi definitely has something to do with this.

What's even stranger is that....

when His Highness was injured by plague needle,

only night rattan could save him.

But night rattan...

Night rattan is Flora Realm's sacred object.
