The Flame's Daughter (烈火如歌)

"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang

Still unable to bear it and want to talk with me?

When I leave, will your heart have my shadow?

Say that you will.

I will.

Drink this.

Tonight, maintain all lamps lit.

Yes.

Tonight...

I fear that it will be my last time guarding you.

How did it go?

If it's still the same, don't scare her.

This matter was done to hastily. Her health wasn't that good.

How could I scare her?

Ming'er.

Why do you look so tired?

Nothing.

Luo'er, I want to drink some water.

Come.

Be careful.

Am I sick again?

Yes, you almost died.

I wanted to kill everyone to be buried with you.

Luo'er, don't be like this.

I can forgive anything, as long as you don't leave me.

How is it possible that I'll leave you?

Because of Zhan Feitian.

Shut up!

Wait a minute, Luo'er!

My brain right now is very confused. How come I remember...

I escaped with a noble warrior to Ping'an Town?

And then...

You went to capture me?

No! You have never left Dark River Palace!

Never.

Were those illusions?

Right. You were training and it got out of control.

Have you forgotten? You were too infatuated with Teacher's sword technique,

that's why, you frequently develop hallucinations.

Did I?

You did. I've abducted the best doctor in the world to treat you.

Forget those illusions. He surely will be able to cure you.

Luo'er, why must you abduct him?

Don't worry. As long as he can cure you, I'll personally apologize to him.

Just wait here. I'll go look for him.

Sect Leader.

Think of a way to make her forget Zhan Feitian.

That's impossible.

What did you say?

Anye Ming has deep feelings for Zhan Feitian.

She'd rather die than live without him.

An intense feeling like that is unforgettable.

Think of a way! Think of a way!

There's no way.

She and I suffered so many hardships together

since we were little. The person that she cared the most in her heart

is me...

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless you marry her before she remembers everything.

That way, even if she remembers everything, the wood has been turned to a boat and she'll be unable to do anything else.

That's right. Her heart is very soft. As long as we get married,

she will...accept her fate.

Yin Xue, you are indeed more suitable to be part of Dark River.

You have a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions.

- Leave now. - Yes.

- Luo'er. - Sect Leader.

Where is that doctor you're talking about?

That doctor is currently training. I didn't dare to disturb him.

He said that there's nothing to worry about. You just need to continue recuperating and not mind those illusions.

That's good then. Eat some snacks. They just delivered these.

Ming'er, let's get married tomorrow.

Don't say such nonsense.

You promised to marry me.

People will laugh at you like this. Let go.

Once I kill everyone, who would still dare to laugh at me?

What you mind is just the relationship between us.

It's quite easy to resolve it.

I just need to kill everyone here in Dark River.

No one will know about our relationship then.

Luo'er, they are all our brothers and sisters. Can you bear to hurt them?

Marry me.

No.

Luo'er! Stop involving innocent people! Stop being like this!

- Marry me and be my bride. - No, I can't.

Marry me! Marry me!

If you don't, I will kill everyone!

I can't!

No. Luo'er, let go!

This is your Third Juinior Sister's daughter. If you still don't agree, I'll kill her!

Let go, Luo'er. Don't be like this.

Marry me...

Okay... I promise you...

Go prepare for a wedding banquet. Ming'er and I will get married tomorrow.

Yes.

Miss Xunyi.

Sect Leader will be getting married. These are food and drinks rewarded to you two.

Thank you Miss Xunyi.

Here. Hurry...

Give me the buns.

Miss, don't mind him anymore. Just a useless person.

Eat some.

Good thing that Second-in-command likes red.

Or else, because of how we are pressed with time, we don't even know we're we will be looking for a bridal gown.

This is the head veil. The one that you'll be wearing tomorrow.

Okay. I know already.

Second-in-command.

Luo'er scared you today.

Where did you go?

I went to visit...an old friend.

Old friend?

I hope that after Second-in-command and Sect Leader marry, you can let those 2 prisoners go.

Who are they?

2 friends of mine.

Okay. I know it now. I'll tell Sect Leader to let them go.

Hurry! Hurry! Get up!

You really think you're some prince?!

Hey, stop wasting nonsense with him.

He can't move nor hear you. For a disabled person like that, just drag him out.

Get up! Get up! Move!

Hurry up! Move!

Today, you're in luck.

Today is Sect Leader's wedding. You'll be representing the jianghu sects in congratulating him.

Behave. Got it?

Sect Leader.

Ming'er, why do you keep looking at me?

Is there anything wrong with me?

Nothing. I just...

Just what?

- Ming'er! - Second-in-command!

- MIng'er! - Second-in-command. - Hurry and call Yin Xue to come here!

Yes.

Ming'er, what's wrong? Ming'er...

Ming'er...

What's wrong with her?

How come she's suffering like this?

Get out. I'm going to treat her.

If you dare make her soul disappear, I will—

If you don't want her to die, then go out!

Within 10 zhang (~30 meters) from here, there must be no sign of other humans.

- All of you, leave! - Yes.

Yes...

- Leave! - Yes...

Xunyi, guard here.

Yes.

You clearly drank my blood. It's impossible for you to wake up now.

Unless Anye Luo made her eat something.

I was pretending.

Ge'er.

I've already disintegrated your tea with blood with my internal energy. I didn't drink it.

From the start, I was just pretending.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Because I know that you and Zhan Feng would try to kill him. That's impossible.

It's impossible for Zhan Feng to learn the 9th level of internal cultivation at such a short time,

while your internal energy got sealed by him. You won't be able to defeat him.

I'm doing this to preserve your life. As long as you become your mother,

whether the assassination today is a success or not, you would be able to survive it. Don't you understand?

But if the assassination fails, what's the point of me living?

As long as your'e alive, there's hope.

Listen to me. With you and Zhan Feng joining forces, your chance of killing him is just 30%.

But if you add me in, there will be 50%.

I can't let you risk your life again. If you attack him,

Anye Luo will know that you're Lie Ruge. Towards Lie Ruge, he will not be lenient.

If you're afraid of me dying, tell me his weakness.

Even if you don't say it, I still will attack him. I then will surely die.

Meixin (the space between the eyebrows). Meixin is his most important acupoint.

It is because your mother gravely injured that part before, that's why, Anye Luo was forced to go in seclusion to recuperate.

Okay.

Tell me how you plan to do it.

I will wait for the moment that he's guard is the most lax before making my move.

You told me before that in jianghu, there will always be a day when evil will press down on good,

but it won't last forever.

Find the right timing. Give the fatal blow.

Okay.

After this matter ends,

I will retire from jianghu.

Okay.

Even if you treat me as her, I won't blame you.

You'll be representing the jianghu sects in congratulating Sect Leader in his wedding.

You'll be representing the government and congratulate Sect Leader on his wedding.

This is the last chance to kill Anye Luo.

Breakthrough my heart's demon. Forget all my past.

Luo'er.
