The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang

Lei Jinghong! What else do you want me to do?!

I also haven't clearly come up with an answer yet.

Because of you, I begged my eldest brother to give you a chance to survive.

Then tell me...

Between the revenge of my sect getting annihilated and you, how should I choose?

Choose me. Of course, choose me!

You are still the same as how you were in Taste Flower Brothel. Didn't change at all.

I've changed.

If this was before, I will never beg a man like this.

Moreover, he even killed my Second Older Brother.

I even am begging him and want to be with him.

Liexiang...this is not your fault.

It's all my fault...

You said it right. Even if he was very evil, I shouldn't kill him with my own hands.

But there were so many brothers of mine that were killed by him.

Irregardless, this is not your fault.

Don't think about them anymore.

Don't think about them anymore.

I want to marry you.

I want to be with you for a lifetime.

I want to guard by your side forever.

Since that wedding night where you and I were locked up inside that room,

I only want to be with you.

Do you know

that since the moment I left you, I would dream about you every night.

I couldn't even bear to touch you in my dream. I feared that I'll get addicted once I touch you.

That I will come here to look for you and abduct you.

How good will it be if you were not from Swordless City? I surely will take you away.

I will then lock you up in a room every day and accompany you every night.

I never had anyone in my heart.

You don't need to abduct me.

I'm always yours.

Madam Feng Huang, City Leader asked me to deliver this to you.

How long have you been here?

Same as you.

- You can be considered a newbie then. - Yes.

Dao Wuxia indeed is guarding against me.

Where are you going?

I'll just go out and walk around.

You finally are willing to go out.

Last night...we're not married yet...

People of jianghu shouldn't mind such things.

Being able to get such sincere love from you makes this life of mine not lived in vain.

That's not like something that you will say.

What should I say then?

You should say, "Even if I have to kidnap you, I will kidnap you back to my sect.

Regardless if you're willing or not."

That Lei Jinghong is dead.

You're grudging me?

How could I?

Madam, that person kept looking at you.

You...

Did they torment you?

Talk!

You went with Dao Wuxia?

Listen to me.

Since you went with him, then don't be like this.

- Leave. - Yes.

How come your complexion is this good?

You are also not hurt.

Unless...you and them...

Hurry and leave. Don't stay here in Swordless City.

You have submitted to them, am I right?

Lei Jinghong! Since the day you disappeared, I have been looking for you.

I dare not leave Ping'an City for even a step.

I was afraid that you got captured by the people of Swordless City, that they'll torture you.

I even would dream every night

that you got killed by them, got beheaded, and your corpse was being hanged outside this city for public viewing!

I was also afraid, but I can't leave.

I was even thinking that even if you got killed by them, you still have me to collect your corpse.

Feng Huang...

I've thought of thousands of possibilities. I just never thought

that you would be living quite well.

That's why, you came to Swordless City to find me?

Or else, what?

I lusted for vanity and sought shelter with Dao Wuxia?

I'm a man. I don't need you to risk danger to save me. Hurry and go!

- No. - Feng Huang!

I want to see...

how long you can be at ease.

- I told you to leave. You hear me? .- No.

You don't owe me anything. I'm the one who owed you. I owed you so many lives.

Feng Huang, stop being this stupid. Okay?

No.

Feng Huang, if not because there are so many eyes looking here,

I'll immediately kneel and beg you to leave.

Dao Wuxia is not stupid. This little act of yours won't be able to fool him.

- As long as you are here, I'll be here. - You...

Feng...

What? You have a problem?

None. I just feel that the taste of the dishes here are very familiar.

The food you eat every day comes from here. Of course, they will taste familiar.

Did you ask them to deliver food to the manor every day?

No. I personally came to buy them.

My culinary skill are not good that I even dislike my own cooking.

What to do then? Just to make you happy, I could only buy food on my own.

Hey, do you like kids?

How many children do you want in the future?

What? You don't like kids?

No. I like kids very much.

There is indeed a difference between a woman and a young girl.

Before, I never saw you looking at me with such deep affection.

Just eat. Come, eat more.

Here.

You want to look for Zhan Feng and ask for a divorce letter?

Yes.

Fine. Since you're going to Flaming Hills,

bring with you the invitation for next month's Martial Arts Society Conference too.

You've decided?

That time, you haven't been born yet. You didn't see how our father led the people of the different major sects of the Martial Arts Society

in discussing major events in jianghu.

I've waited for this day for 20 years.

Flaming Hills. The one who commanded the heroes of the world to annihilate Thunderbolt Clique was them.

Now, the one who redressed the case of Lei Jinghong and his sect is also them.

Going back against their own decision. Arrogant and self-conceited.

They didn't put the lives of the disciples of the different sects any importance. They just casually incited jianghu conflicts.

You think everyone will not have any grudges?

Oh, right. Let's set your wedding with Lei Jinghong

on the day of the Martial Arts Conference.

Eldest Brother...

You didn't expect me to give in this easily?

Lei Jinghong killed your Second Older Brother.

But we will disregard past quarrels and use virtuous morals to pay for a grudge.

The creation of an alliance between World Swordless City and Thunderbolt Clique

is to let the different sects of jianghu know

that we will make up for the mistakes that they make.

Only this way will they all be willing to submit to our Swordless City.

The Dark River internal energy is indeed superior,

but Teacher, aren't you afraid that he'll live his life with a demonic heart and choose the wrong path?

There's no good or evil in terms of martial arts.

The difference lies with one's psychology.

If his heart is into doing kindness, he naturally will not go down the wrong path.

But if his heart has miscellaneous thoughts, that would be troublesome.

I am actually gambling. Betting that after what Zhan Feng went through,

he would be able to eliminate all the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart and focus in training this martial arts skill.

You both are indeed here.

What's wrong with him?

Next time, when we are training,

I think that it's better that you don't appear to prevent him from getting uncontrolled.

I was looking for him for an urgent matter.

What is it?

Dao Liexiang is here. She wants to see us.

Sect Leader.

- Liexiang. - Sect Leader Lie.

There is no Sect Leader here or Deputy Sect Leader's wife. Just call me Ruge.

I dare not.

How about you sit first? I'll ask someone to prepare some tea for you.

No need. Next month will be the once every four years Martial Arts Conference.

This is the invitation that my eldest brother asked me to deliver.

You came just for this?

What identity does Dao Wuxia have that he dared to organize the Martial Arts Conference?! You can go now.

I've delivered the invitation. I still want to ask you for a letter.

What letter?

Divorce letter.

- Get me a brush, ink, and paper. - Yes.

Thanks, Deputy Sect Leader Zhan.

Our affection as a married couple has ended.

If I discover in the future that you've done a matter that will harm the Martial Arts Society,

don't blame me for being heartless.

Same to you.

Returning her back to her clan to be allowed to remarry. I won't have any objection. Zhan Feng]

- Third Miss Dao. - Sect Leader Lie.

There is one thing that I want to ask you.

I heard that Lei Jinghong went missing while he was at Snap Thunder. Do you have any news about him?

He is in World Swordless City.

He and I have went through several trials and difficulties before we are able to be together.

We've already decided to put down all the grudges and become husband and wife.

You two are getting married?

Do you think that I shouldn't marry him?

No, Liexiang, listen to me.

I have always known that you two love each other sincerely.

It's just that I didn't expect that you two will stay in Swordless City. I thought that you would leave with him.

Actually, when I heard that Lei Jinghong disappeared,

I thought that you and him had already flown high and gotten far away from here.

With my eldest brother's power, where do you think I can fly with him to?

Then, you have made your decision?

Yes.

If you're not from Flaming Hills,

and I'm not born in Swordless City,

Lie Ruge, you would be my friend.

We are also friends now.

You are the Sect Leader. You can make friends however you like.

While I...must live within the scope of my eldest brother's control.

That day when Zhan Feng and I married,

the pain in my heart was not less than yours.

Good thing, I get to choose this time.

You two are both my friends. I wish you both happiness.

Thanks.

After this separation, we might meet again as enemies in a life and death struggle.

Farewell, Sect Leader Lie.

Miss.

Miss.

- Miss, you're back. - Yes.

- It went very smoothly? - Yes. - Young Master Lei is really so lucky.

I'm back.
