The Flame's Daughter

Episode 17

- Lei Jinghong? - It's me.

Why are you here? What are you doing here?

I'm asking you. Why are you here?

What are you doing?

I don't like this.

I heard that your Thunderbolt Clique offended the government.

I just can't believe that you are here instead of running for your life.

What's wrong? Afraid that I will abduct you and marry you by force?

What are you talking about? The wedding is already over.

Why did you agree with them?

I wanted to find out who killed Sir.

Are you saying that you agreed because someone killed him?

That's right.

I don't want to see Older Brother making any more mistakes.

I don't want to see innocent people die too.

Hence, I agreed.

I see.

So, when I went to Swordless City last time, I got tricked by your brothers.

They tricked me by saying that you agreed to marry Zhan Feng in the first place.

You went to Swordless City?

Yes, I went there.

I wanted to tell you not to marry Zhan Feng.

Let's go and see the bride.

- That's right. Let's go. - New bride.

Why is the door still closed?

Open the door.

Open the door.

We will leave after taking a look at you.

Open the door.

Everyone, what are you doing?

Let's not create chaos at the bridal chamber. Okay?

Too many unhappy events happened today.

- Let the newly weds rest early, okay? - This won't do.

We should make a fuss to brighten up the atmosphere.

- That's right. - Young Master Ji,

don't stop us. Let us take a look at the bride.

Everyone, give me some face today, okay?

So many events happened today. My senior disciple brother is not here too.

Also, everyone you know my sister-in-law's temper.

If you annoy her, I won't be responsible for it.

Since Young Master Ji has spoken, let's forget about it.

Okay, I will drink with you till daybreak.

Okay.

Let's drink.

Let's go.

I didn't expect to spend my wedding night with you.

Why don't we consummate the marriage?

Dream on.

What is this doing here?

Did you hear about lotus seeds

for fertility?

I see.

What do you plan to do?

I will find my father first and think of a solution later.

Leave Flaming Hill as soon as possible.

This place is not safe as you think.

Why?

Why are you asking so many questions?

When I tell you to leave, just leave.

With that temper of you, who can accept you?

By the way, you just said that you wanted to take revenge for Sir.

But he was killed by Dark River Palace.

What's the use of marrying Zhan Feng?

I can't tell you.

Especially when it involves my brothers.

Your brothers betrayed you and you are still protecting them?

After all, we are blood related.

Let's do this. Tell me your problems and I will resolve it for you.

With someone like you?

You hid in my bridal chamber and you even want to help me?

Let's see what else is here.

Look at what this is. It looks really strange.

What?

Come and take a look. It's really very strange.

What is it?

Take a look. It's really strange.

What are you doing? Release me.

Bride, you look very beautiful in your wedding dress.

Little rascal. You always know how to take advantage of me.

Release me.

What are you laughing at?

I know you don't truly like Zhan Feng. That's why I'm happy.

But I'm still married.

We even performed the ritual bows.

It's okay. I don't care.

Today is your wedding night. You shouldn't be here.

Are you afraid of me?

Dao Liexiang is waiting for you now.

You have become so cowardly.

Are you afraid to be with me

and unable to leave me again?

You don't need to excite me like this. Just get to the point if you have anything to say.

I have nothing to say.

Did you ever love Ying Yi?

If you had some feelings for her,

you wouldn't have let her die without doing anything.

If you had never loved her, why did you withdraw from our engagement then?

Was it for power?

You also didn't do it for power and status.

If it is for that, my identity is higher than Dao Liexiang.

You should have married me.

What is there that Flaming Hills can't give you

that made you choose World Swordless City?

Could it be...

you hate my father?

You hate my father, right?

That's why, since 2 years ago, the way you looked at my father has changed.

I don't.

Why then did you become like a demon?

I came not to talk to you about these. I came to tell you something.

Say it. I'm listening.

Give up the sect leader position.

In your wedding night, you're not by your bride's side,

because you want to warn me not to fight you over the sect leader position?

Yes.

Is Flaming Hills that important to you?!

Yes. Remember what I've said.

If you look at him closely, he actually is quite handsome.

Get up! Get up!

What happened?!

Don't worry. No one is here.

Zhan Feng isn't coming back. Just let me sleep for a little while more.

How come you're not acting as someone escaping for his life at all?

At most, I'll just continue running for my life. What's there to fear?

Okay already. You shouldn't be staying here.

I'll go outside to look and send the servants away.

Use the opportunity and escape thru the back window.

Liexiang!

I will be hiding in Yu Zihan's quarter.

I will only be staying here for a few days and won't be staying long.

Just care about your own life.

I'm really leaving.

Take care.

Fine.

- Xiao Yan. - Miss. - Madam.

Miss, why are you still wearing your bridal gown?

Go and call all the servants of this courtyard. I want to meet them.

Yes.

Madam Yan...why...?

Why am I treating you like this?

Because righteous and evil can never co-exist.

I brought you to Thunderbolt Clique so many years ago,

but it's inferior to being a maidservant in Dark River Palace?

I'm not a maidservant.

I'm the third in command of Dark River Palace, Anye Jue.

Third in command?

The woman that I love and is accompanying the rest of my life with

is a witch?

Correct. You were wrong about me.

Okay.

Now that things have come to this, I accept my fate.

Just like what you've said, righteous and evil cannot co-exist.

I've severing our marriage ties from now on.

Lei Hentian, it is exactly this trait

that made me admire you the most.

You're about to die, but you still dared to talk with me that way.

A person who's part of the martial arts society isn't garrulous.

I wasn't able to see through your evil plot and fell into your trap.

Now, it's up to you if you're going to kill me or not.

We've been married for so many years.

I will let you have a decent death.

Wife, have you...

I never did. I have never loved you.

I came to Thunderbolt Clique just for your unique fire weapon.

Once my Dark River Palace resurfaces in jianghu,

it will be the destruction of the righteous sects of jianghu.

You...!

Thank you for not letting me be a muddled ghost.

Wait!

Don't harm my son. Don't harm my son Jinghong!

I will spare his life.

After all, I raised him with my own hands.

Don't harm my son!

Sink the boat.

How would I tell the outside world about this?

Sect Leader got killed by a crafty scoundrel. I barely escaped.

Use my name to call for the different captains to come back and join the funeral.

Announce to the world that we are investigating who the killer of Sect Leader is.

Yes!

This is indeed a world renowned beauty care product.

Miss surely will love these.

Why is he still not here?

Hall Leader Zhongli.

Look. He's here for Die Yi again.

That's right, he frequently...

Just casually say anything. They will then stop looking at you.
