The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang

Feng'er, you're back.

Uncle.

Didn't you forsake me just for Lie Ruge?

I want...

Oh? Want what?

I want Lie Ruge.

That's not hard.

You are my only family in this world.

I will give you whatever you want.

In this world, other than you and your mother,

all people that will betray me will die.

While you and your mother are my only weaknesses.

From now on, if you listen to me, Lie Ruge will be yours.

Yes.

Okay already. Have a good rest.

Uncle, Yin Xue is in Flaming Hills.

What did you say?

This time...it was him

who helped Lie Ruge take back Flaming Hills.

Yin Xue is still alive?

That day, Dao Wuxia and Yi Lang were around. Uncle, you don't know about this?

For such a major matter,

the two of them didn't even tell me?

How dare them?

Uncle, don't you know

that Dao Wuxia has already developed disloyal intentions?

Oh? What disloyalty can Dao Wuxia dare to do?

Yin Xue is Uncle's enemy, but not his.

That's why, he deliberately conceal this news,

so Uncle will be ignorant about it once you two face each other again.

Continue saying it.

He took Yi Lang in and made him the chief steward of Swordless City.

Oh? That's interesting.

He even abducted Lei Jinghong and had him join World Swordless City.

What did you say?

Uncle, don't know all of these?

He even dared to abduct that little evil creature Lei Jinghong?

Uncle, he doesn't really want to be your puppet.

Take a good rest first.

Yes.

- Go and investigate two things. - Yes.

- Whether Dao Wuxia took Yi Lang in. - Yes.

Secondly, if Dao Wuxia also abducted Lei Jinghong.

You hesitated?

I just felt a bit surprised.

I also was suprised.

- I'll go investigate it now. - No.

Send someone to investigate it.

I want you to personally do something.

Deliver these things to the Prince of Jingyuan Manor

and hand them to Yu Zihan.

Yes.

Did Sect Leader send the things that I want?

This few?

You want them all?

If Sect Leader doesn't believe me, then don't bother giving anything to me.

Yu Zihan, you wanted too much.

He wants the world, then he should take the risk.

If you eat this, I'll give it to you.

What is that?

If you want trust, then prove yourself first.

All the things that you want are in my head.

If you take this in, I'll write them down tomorrow.

Escort Third-in-command to rest.

Yes.

This way please, Third-in-command.

Prince.

How could you casually take in something that Dark River gives?

What did I say?

I...am worried about your safety.

Prince, have you forgotten how you got the Chill Spell before? Although now—

Enough. No need to say it anymore.

Prince!

Prince! Prince, what's wrong?

Prince! Prince!

Search the whole city!

Yes!

Junior Sister...

Junior Sister...

Junior Sister...

How is Prince? He hasn't woken up yet.

Oh, right. Have you found her?

No.

Could she have left Luoyang already?

Impossible. I've already ordered people to guard all the city gates. It's impossible for her to have escaped.

You even dared to return?

I said that I'll be back today.

- Tie her up! - Yes!

Just do as you want.

Prince.

Prince, how do you feel? Do you know how worried we are?

- How long have I been asleep? - For one night.

We found Anye Jue. That evil sect person—

What are you saying? Make it louder.

We found Anye Jue!

No... I can't hear anymore.

Prince, you...

I want to see her. I want to see her.

- Hey, Prince, what's wrong with you?! - Don't assist me.

Prince! Your legs...

Anye Luo!

Bring Anye Jue to me.

Prince, how does it feel to

have a healthy body then losing it again?

Extremely painful.

It's good that you know. If you ever betray Dark River,

you will lose everything that you have.

Just one pill from Sect Leader to deliberately show his strength as warning is really a wise move.

You are very calm.

If you have the poison, then you also have the antidote. What must I fear?

If I'm Sect Leader, I surely will not use you.

That's why, you're not the sect leader. You can only serve him.

Untie me.

Don't you want the antidote?

I have expressed my sincerity,

but you haven't done what you promised.

You are indeed Prince of Jingyuan. It's already at this time and you still dared to barter with me.

My relation with Dark River is established on mutual benefits to begin with.

It can't be considered to have any affection, but just conditions.

Bring me some paper.

Xuan Huang!

I can't hear anything, so I'll write slowly. You write instead.

Yes.

Third-in-command, you can say it now.

Let's start with the palace then. Supreme Court, Chen Zhao,

Lu Xingfang,

Guang Luosi, Zhou Kan...

Office of the Imperial Sacrifices...

Prince.

If my memory is right, the highest among these officials is only a 7th Rank. There isn't anyone from the court yet.

Sect Leader thinks that it's not yet time for you to know everything.

- Remove her shackles. - Yes.

This is the antidote. You will immediately recover after 10 days.

Prince, you clearly know that it was a poison yesterday. Why did you still take it?

Anye Luo is good in scheming. I will face such things sooner or later.

Don't worry. I'm still useful to him. He temporarily won't harm me.

Yu Zihan is a very shrewd man. Why must Sect Leader trust him?

I don't trust him, but I want to use him.

With Prince of Jingxian's death, the only person in the palace

that can help me is him.

But he's not greedy. It's hard to control a person without greed.

There is no one who is not greedy.

It depends on what you give him.

Okay already. Let's talk about Dao Wuxia first.

I've already ordered my men to investigate. Your 2 suspicions were indeed true.

Why are you too concerned about this matter?

I don't care if he take anyone in.

But Yi Lang and Lei Jinghong are of special identities.

He taking them both in will surely boost his jianghu reputation.

He wants too much.

If Sect Leader is unhappy about it, I'll kill him now.

No, not now.

I want to destroy him in front of all the heroes of the world.

Martial Arts Society Conference.

Correct. Not only will I take his life,

I also want to destroy the reputation of Swordless City.

Dark River will then replace them.

You are still inferior to your mother in beauty.

Uncle.

What's wrong? You've just returned for a few days

and you already drank half of my good wines.

You're in great pain?

She and Yin Xue...

Feng'er, Lie Ruge will be yours.

A good marital ties tightly bound with a vermilion colored rope.

- What are you writing? - Marriage letter.

Why are you writing this?

If we are going to act, we should make it realistic.

You're joking with me again.

On a marriage letter, there should be a wedding date.

I didn't fill it up. Keep this first.

The day I defeat Dark River, will be the day that I marry you.

- I don't want to. - You don't want it?

- Why will I lie to you? - Why then are you blushing?

I'll burn it. We'll set out tomorrow for Swordless City.

Keep it well. That's something that I owed you.

Sect Leader.

Isn't that a marriage letter?

Yes.

Old Auntie, come, sit down.

Thanks.

Old Auntie, can you tell me about my parents' wedding?

Sure.

Your father was unrivaled in terms of martial arts skills,

but has a very shy character.

Before the wedding,

your mother wrote the marriage letter and engagement contract for him.

My mother wrote it?

Shouldn't the male be the one to write those?

That's right.

After your mother wrote them,

she placed them under your father's pillow

so he'll discover them by himself.

Tell me how they met.
