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 03"

Such powerful water spell.

Who else could cast it other than you here in the heaven?

Moreover, a servant saw you around Qi Wu Castle on that day.

You were supposed to guard the Northern Heavenly Gate that night.

Something went wrong with Xu Feng's nirvana.

Tell me,

is this real?

Father.

That night,

I did drop by at Qi Wu Palace.

Your Majesty.

I know that Xu Feng is having a hard time with his nirvana.

I tailed the man in black to Qi Wu Palace.

I wanted to protect him.

But...

How was it?

You'd seen that person?

Who was that?

Why didn't you inform us?

I fought with the man in black.

I could tell that he's powerful but he wasn't interested in fighting.

He ran away after a few rounds.

I saw Liao Yuan was guarding Qi Wu Palace,

and it was the crucial moment in Xu Feng's nirvana.

I didn't want to disturb.

So I left after a few words with Liao Yuan.

We'd never intended to suspect what you said,

but judging solely by the words you said,

it's not convincing.

I know that Father and Mother are wise,

I have never intended to hurt Xu Feng.

I practice water spell.

I can never get near to the flame of nirvana.

That's the first point.

Secondly,

I was injured by that person due to carelessness.

Even though he used the sleet,

but he seems to be fearless to fire.

You're burnt.

Why didn't you inform us regarding your injury?

Black feathers doesn't necessarily belong to crow or magpie.

They might belong to a burnt phoenix.

I'd never imagined this crow to be a magical bird.

We'll have endless supply of elixir pills then.

We can't blame Liao Yuan for this.

Nirvana of the phoenix family has always been risky.

Though I've fallen into wilderness,

but I'm back unharmed with the help of the little demon.

It's my destiny after all.

Your Highness, since you're back safe,

I'll have nothing to worry about.

His Majesty and Her Majesty are worried about your safety.

They'd called in Night Immortal just now...

to punish him.

Run Yu?

Bring me to my father now.

Your Majesty.

Investigation wasn't done yet.

By listening to Run Yu's mere words...

Fire Immortal has arrived!

Greetings to Father and Mother.

Xu! Xu!

Please get up. Are you hurt?

I'm so worried.

I apologise for causing you worried.

What'd happened?

Where were you all this while?

Father.

I was attacked during my nirvana...

by sleet weapon.

And I'd fallen into wilderness for a few days.

And I wanted to find the culprit.

Therefore I've spent a few days more.

I'd never expected to bring chaos to you.

I was being reckless.

Please forgive me.

Have you found the culprit?

Not yet.

But I'm sure that it has nothing to do with brother.

I've found out some traces.

The truth will be unearthed soon.

Stand up.

Both of you...

do care a lot about each other.

I'm happy to see this.

Good that you're back.

During the days when you're gone,

your mother has been worried about you.

You have to comfort her.

Yes.

I know.

It's really a good news that Fire Immortal is now back.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Since Xu is now back safe.

I hope that you'll fulfill your promise.

Summon the six realms.

And decide on the titles.

Father. Mother.

What is it all about?

Your father and I had made a vow.

The day when you're back safe,

will be the day the Heaven Realm to crown it's crown prince.

Now that we're under the attack of army of Demon Realm,

I think,

we'll talk about this when Xu Feng brings victory home.

News!

Your Majesty!

The army of Demon Realm has retreated from Lethe.

Any reason for that?

According to witness,

Fire Immortal broke into King of Yancheng's headquarter last night,

and scared off the army.

Scaring the army off by a mere appearance,

what an ability it is!

Your Majesty.

You have always been fair with praise and punishment.

Fire Immortal.

What do you think?

I plead father and mother to retrieve your order.

It's my job to lead the army and protect my homeland.

Their retreat is just a delaying tactic.

From what I'd observed yesterday night,

the Kind of Yancheng will definitely be back.

Banishing the enemy is far more important than anything else.

Please excuse me.

I shall prepare the army for war.

I can only help you to get rid of the flame poison in your body.

You might experience pain for these few days.

Our physiques contradict each other.

If I forcefully heal you,

you'll bear worse injury.

Fire and water have never gotten along.

Please save your magical prowess for something else.

I'm afraid that I can't handle more.

You knew that fire and water don't get along,

then why did you still come to my rescue?

You'd do the same too, right?

Liao Yuan has just cleared the ice poison in your body.

And now you're here to help me.

Mother will blame me if she gets to know about this.

This is to thank you for saving my life.

Xu Feng.

Everyone suspected me.

Don't you have doubts?

Of course I do.

You can't run away if anything happened to me.

I rushed to your rescue without even changing into my clean clothes.

I thank you for that.

You're powerful.

But still you're severely injured.

Apparently the one who wanted to kill me must be very powerful.

I'm afraid that I can't handle him alone.

What happened that day?

During my nirvana that day,

I felt a decrease in the fire intensity.

The surrounding was icy cold.

And I couldn't move.

I could only use my inner force to passage through the meridians.

And jumped into the sea of cloud without enemy noticing.

As for the rest,

I knew nothing about it.

He is good at water spells,

and fearless of the flame of nirvana.

That's really weird.

I've told father and mother that I will investigate this matter.

This is to put the enemy at ease,

and let you investigate for me in dark.

And get the culprit caught as soon as possible.

Don't worry.

I'll dig for the truth,

to make up to you.

And prove my innocence.

But still...

you have to brush up your magical prowess.

So that you won't cause me trouble.

Just like today.

You're in such a mess.

"Zi Fang Yun Palace"

Your Majesty.

Fire Immortal didn't suspect him and helped with his injury,

and they even had tea together.

They don't seem to turn their backs on each other.

Stupid child.

He didn't know that he's making friends with the wrong company.

If it wasn't me who helped him in planning,

he wouldn't even know if he has handed the throne to someone else.

Keep an eye on Run Yu.

Shall anything happen,

come to me at once.

Yes.

So this is Heavenly Palace?

There's nothing special about it after all.

The mist is covering the floor,

I can't see the path properly.

Why did it disappear again?

What had happened?

Those flowers look green and cheerful,
