"The Mix-Blooded Fox: Ying Ning"
Zi Fu,
now that she's come to her senses, send her home.
Mother, Ying Ning doesn't know anyone around here.
She's got nowhere to go, I can't just leave her alone.
Zi Fu,
I know you are kind-hearted and you love helping people,
but she... We don't know her identity.
If we keep her with us, I don't know what's going to happen.
Mother, you always say that we should help people and be kind to others.
Besides, I dropped my jade pendant yesterday and
Ying Ning found it and returned it to me.
Mother, she has helped me. Now we should help her, too.
How can you drop it?
It's a blessing to keep you safe.
I know, Mother. I'm sorry.
But you have to help Ying Ning.
But... But...
Our plant needs people now; she could work here until she finds her family.
-But... But... -That's right.
I would love to learn how to make powders.
I won't complain and I will work hard
to make the best powders.
Dong Lai,
what do you think?
I think that's a good idea. We just had a new order and we need more people.
Okay, then.
You can stay for now.
Thank you, Mother.
-Say something. -Thank you, Madam Wang.
Wow! This garden is so beautiful.
You are new here, you should start by looking after these flowers.
All of these are the raw materials for making powders.
Once you get to know the different kinds of flowers, you can then learn how to make powders.
Zi Fu, thank you for letting me stay.
Auntie Lan always said, "If someone give you a drop of water, you should return their kindness by giving them a spring."
Don't worry, I will work hard.
To return your kindness for letting me stay and teaching me how to make powders.
That's because you thought of a good idea, learning how to make powder is a good excuse for staying.
That's not an excuse, I want to learn how to make powder for real.
Why would you want to learn this?
Many of my sisters have a really bad smell.
They are upset about it, so I want to make powders that smell good.
So they can cover up their own smells.
You're so considerate; you're sisters are so lucky.
They are my family, I should be good to them.
But you are different.
When you were talking with Madam Wang, you were very careful, like you dare not to raise your voice.
Are you afraid of her?
That's not being afraid, it's a way of showing care and respect.
My father died when I was still a child, so my mother had to raise me all by herself while taking care of the business.
That's very hard to do.
That's why I must take care of her, to return her love for me.
Wang Zi Fu, I'm so jealous of you.
-What for? -You have your mother by your side.
Even though she seems to be hard on you, she loves you very much.
Both my parents died when I was very young.
What's most upsetting is that I don't remember anything about them.
I didn't get to do anything for them.
So I'm jealous of all those people whose parents are still alive.
Ying Ning, I'm sorry for letting you recall those upsetting moments.
That's alright.
That's such a cute dog.
This is Da Huang, he looks after our house.
Cute doggie, what are you trying to say?
Hey, Ying Ning, run slowly.
Da Huang!
Da Huang, where are you going?
Da Huang!
Ying Ning! Ying Ning, wait for me!
Da Huang!
Ying Ning, we should go.
This is...
This barn had ghosts, so it's abandoned now.
Mother said no one should be here; we should go.
Let's go.
Mother!
Ying Ning, run! Quickly, run!
Quickly, get inside that house! Hurry up!
Quick, Ying Ning!
Run fast!
♪ Little lamb, please be still. The bad wolf is here.
♪ Don't be afraid, mother will come back.
Ghost!
What's the matter?
Ghost! There's a ghost!
It's okay. It's okay!
Don't go! I'm afraid by myself.
Don't be afraid; it's okay.
It's okay; don't be afraid.
-You can't just leave! -Okay, stop talking now.
-What's the matter? -We don't want to leave, but there's a ghost here.
-If we stay, we'll be dead soon. -Nonsense!
It's real! She saw it, too!
-We have to go! -What you saw last night was not a ghost.
-How do you know? -Yeah, how do you know?
There was a ghost in the barn ten years ago, so it must be real.
There was a ghost in the barn before? What's that about?
That was a very long time ago.
-You shouldn't have brought that up. -I'm sure what I saw last night was not a ghost.
If it has something to do with the ghost ten years ago, then I should check the barn.
How do you know that's not a ghost?
Because I am a...
You have to trust me. I can tell if it's a ghost or not.
Stop talking!
Nobody is allowed to talk about the barn.
And nobody is allowed to go inside the barn.
-Why not? -Stop talking.
And you people! Don't you have brains?
Did I ever owe you guys any pay?
-That's right! -I've treated you well.
I'm going to take care of the ghost, so you just go and do your work!
No way! We are not going to put ourselves in danger no matter how much you pay!
-Our lives are more important! -How can you lose your lives?
Hey, come back!
Mother, we have taken a new order. We don't have enough hands in the first place
and now these people are gone. If we can't deliver the product on time, we'll have to pay.
Zi Fu, how about...
you and Dong Lai try to get as many people to stay as possible
and I will take care of the rest.
Okay!
Zi Fu, the workers say that there was a ghost in the barn ten years ago. What's that about?
That...I'm not very sure.
Ten years ago, I had a terrible disease; and after that, I can't remember anything.
So I'm not sure about what happened.
There won't be any ghost here. The Earth Guardian is here, and ghosts dare not to come.
How do you know there's an Earth Guardian here?
So there really is an Earth Guardian?
Nobody has cut the grass in years
so the Earth Guardian is covered up.
See?
So that dream was real
Dream? What dream?
There's a dream that keeps coming to me repeatedly through out of my life.
In that dream, I was running with a woman across a garden at night, and there was storm and lightning...
and then I saw the Earth Guardian.
I was afraid, so I hid in a barn.
That barn is just like the one over there.
So that's for real.
I had that dream over and over again, so I can't mistake it.
Ying Ning, I think there must be something behind it.
Zi Fu, I want to ask you one thing.
- What is it? -That nightmare has been bothering me for many years,
so I didn't expect it to be real.
And that woman in my dream...
Who is she?
I feel that she may have something to do with me.
Can you take me to the barn to investigate and understand this?
Taoist Cao, it's been awhile. How could you leave here unaffected?
How you've been, Madam Wang?
Taoist Cao, do you still remember this place?
Madam Wang, what do you need me here for?
Well, then, here's what you need to do.
I just want to know whether you have taken care of that matter completely, or not?
Madam, you saw it with your own eyes when it happened.
Yes, that's right, but people are saying that there's a ghost in our plant.
It's really getting on my nerves.
So I have to check with you for sure.
I want to know if this has something to do with what had happened ten years ago.
Those who ran into me
had no chance of living. I've already destroyed that thing, body and soul.
That's good, then.
But just in case...I still want you to check again.
I don't want this evil thing to cause any more trouble.
Madam Wang,
please look.
This is the "Demon Chaser".
It finds and chases demons.
Within ten miles, both good and evil spirits will come into the sight of this instrument.
Including her. Even though she had a thousand years of training,
she still couldn't escape this instrument.
I don't care what method you use, Taoist Cao, but you have to help me.
I don't care if it's a ghost or a demon, just kill it.
Don't leave anything behind.
No worries, Madam Wang.
This is just a piece of cake.
This is the table...
That I hid under in my dream.
Ying Ning!
Ying Ning, what's the matter?
-Zi Fu, did you hear it? -Huh?
Hear what?
That woman, she's calling me.
I don't hear anything.
My head is aching.
Ying Ning, don't be afraid! I'm here by your side.
Ying Ning! Ying Ning!
♪ Little lamb, please be still. The bad wolf is here.
♪ Don't be afraid.
♪ Mother will come back.
♪ Little lamb, please be still.
♪ The bad wolf is here.
♪ The bad wolf is here
♪ Don't be afraid, mother will come back.
Are you feeling better?
How do know you this song?
How come you know it, too?
Quickly! Go!
Come here!
What is this?
This is the power of a demon's entire life.
It's very strong. You're dead if you get hit by it.
It ran away.
Zi Fu, why is this shaking?
Run!
On my god, my power is getting so strong now. Why is it that I don't even know?
Zi Fu, are you in shock?
Who are you?
I... I...
What are you?
Who are you?
I'm the owner of Wang's Flower Powder Mill.
Who are you?
What did you just say?
You are Madam Wang's son?
Did you see anything odd in the barn?
No! We didn't see anything, right?
You heard her. We didn't see anything.
Stop it!
Let go of my son!
-Mom! -These two were acting weird.
I don't know what they are up to.
Is he really your son?
Of course, he is!
This is none of your business.
You just take care of what I told you earlier.
Alright then, I'll leave.
How can you and Ying Ning go to the barn all by yourselves?
Didn't you hear what I said?
What were you doing there?
It's all my fault. Ying Ning has nothing to do with it.
If you're mad, just punish me.
Madam Wang, it's not what you think.
Did I say that you could talk?
Zi Fu,
you're the only son of the Wang's family.
Every single move that you make will decide whether the Wang's family becomes better or worse.
Let's not worry about what a man and a woman can do in a barn.
How can you ignore the rule I made that no one is allowed in the barn?
What if something happened?
If you're so reckless, how can you take care of business in the future?
-You're so... -Madam Wang, I believe that there isn't any ghost in the barn.
So I went there to check. Zi Fu went with me because he was worried about me.
If there's anyone that should be punished, that should be me.
So it was your fault.
Zi Fu begged me to let you stay because he pitied you.
You don't take appreciation of that and now you put him in danger.
Well then, you should go.
-I can't go. -Why not?
This is the Wang's place; I'm the owner here and my word is law.
I really can't go! Zi Fu.
Mom, you're right. I will send Ying Ning away.
Zi Fu
Zi Fu, why are you sending me away?
What are you really?
What are you talking about?
You knew about that demon, and you knew its power.
And the power you used in the barn...
is nothing ordinary!
What are you?
-I... -What's your purpose being here?
You have to trust me. I mean no harm to you.
If you want me to trust you, then you should tell me the truth
What are you?
Don't be afraid if I tell you.
I won't be afraid, just tell me.
I... am not human
Not human?
I'm just a fox.
You are a fox?
You said you wouldn't be afraid.
-I'm not afraid! -Yes, you are.
I'll tell you, to be exact, I'm a fox spirit.
A fox spirit won't harm me, so I'm not afraid.
How do you know I won't harm you?
How can a fox wail like a wolf?
That's right, I'm doing it wrong.
I know you won't harm me; because otherwise, you wouldn't have saved my life.
It's good that you know.
Okay, now I trust you.
But Ying Ning, can you tell me who taught you that song?
You remember that I told you about that dream I had over and over again?
I was afraid every time I had that dream.
In the dream, there's a boy that teaches me how to sing
and after that I'm be afraid anymore.
Zi Fu, how come you know this song, too?
I've known this song ever since I was a child.
I once met a girl in my dream.
She was afraid of thunder, so I taught her this song.
That's such a coincidence.
I feel like this is not a coincidence.
Your dream may not be just a dream, it may be real.
Even though I was ill and I don't remember anything,
I believe you came to the barn before and we've known each other before.
It's just that...we don't remember now.
We haven't forgotten! We both have the same memories.
Then how about we find our memories back together?
Zi Fu.
Here.
This is all done by you?
Yes, isn't it great?
I was right to guess that my mom wouldn't come to the barn.
But you'll have to make do for these couple of days.
-That's okay. -Are you hungry?
I brought food for you.
Come!
This is
These are plums.
When mother wasn't looking, I snuck out to the market to buy them.
Quickly eat!
Zi Fu, you're so good to me.
Is this delicious?
Right, Zi Fu! 10 years ago, this was your house, right?
Yes.
Then, Madam Wang should definitely know what happened that year.
Why are we here, hiding away and wasting energy?
Let's immediately go find her!
If my mom were willing to tell us, she would immediately do so.
Also, if mom asked you how you knew there was nothing going on here, how would you explain?
I'm a fox spirit, I can tell!
If you're not scared, Madam Wang wouldn't care so much, right?
Mother isn't like me. She hates monsters and demons to the core.
If she knew you were a fox spirit, she would call a priest to exterminate you!
When the time comes, I'll see where you can run to!
I know-I know, I'll just not go.
What's urgent now is to investigate the White Shirt Ghost's issue.
If we have enough evidence to prove that there are no supernatural creatures here,
then mother's lies will immediately be dispelled!
Then she won't be able to hide the truth.
Why are you eating so fast?
I'm rushing to catch ghosts!
Silly girl.
Are you tired?
No, I'm not. The thought of catching ghosts makes me excited!
What if the ghost doesn't appear?
Then I'll wait here the whole night! Anyway, you're here; I won't be bored.
Look!
Wait, look there!
No wonder the White Shirt Ghost seems to be everywhere, there are actually two people!
Shhh, don't alert the enemy!
Come, let's give chase!
Aren't you a ghost? Why are you scared of a dog?
We already know you are just a human pretending!
Hurry up and get down. Just give up!
Do you want to stay on the tree your whole life?
We're nice asking you and you refuse to listen!
Seems like I need to teach you a lesson!
Still not coming down?! Fine! I'll see if you are coming after this!
Ying Ning!
Priest Cao?
What are the two of you doing here?
We're catching the ghost!
Priest Cao, you're here on time. This is the ghost that was causing trouble, quickly exterminate it!
Ma Sheng?
I already told you, it's a human.
Mister Ma, is this the truth? You're pretending to be a ghost?
I just thought it would be funny. Please forgive me.
Funny? You scared away all of my family's workers and it's funny?!
Mother, I think we should send him to jail!
Madam Wang, I really did it on a whim after making a bet.
That's why I pretended to be a ghost. I had no evil intentions!
I hope Madam Wang won't make a scene because of this and alert the authorities.
Madam, based on the fact that we're of the same business,
please give some face to the Ma Family and forgive me.
How can it be so easy?
We're all competing in the same business.
I heard that your family's business isn't doing well recently,
so you pretended to be a ghost to hurt our family's business!
Brother Zi Fu, you're thinking too much.
It's just a small issue, why make it bigger?
Let's leave it to the judge to decide!
Follow me to court!
Zi Fu! Let go of Mister Ma.
Exactly, let's talk this over.
Mister Ma, I hope this is as you said,
just a joke. I won't pursue the matter further.
Thank you Madam Wang for your immense kindness!
I hope that Mister Ma, in the future, you can tell right from wrong.
Of course, of course!
Dong Lai, send Mister Ma home.
Don't let Mrs. and Mr. Ma worry.
Thank you, Madam.
-Yes, Aunt. -I've troubled Mister Wu.
Please.
Mother, since we caught him, we should bring him to justice! Why did you let him go?
This Mister Ma is as you have said
has no sense of righteousness.
He likes using underhanded methods.
Bringing this issue to court might not lead to justice.
The Ma Family's influence is too big.
This favor will eventually be claimed back.
What I really want to know is...
why is Ying Ning here?
It was me who called Ying Ning to catch ghosts with me.
Earlier, I already suspected something was wrong with this situation.
This time Ying Ning was a great help, doesn't this right her previous wrongs?
Mother, now that we are short of workers, let's just let her stay.
Master Wang is right.
This time, the two showed great skill and guts
and solved the case.
It's not something that is easy to do.
Ying Ning is so capable and Master Wang is thinking for the business.
Don't you think you should let Ying Ning stay?
Madam Wang, please let me stay. I'll work hard and not cause any trouble!
Mother.
Fine.
This time, based on the priest's recommendation, I'll let you stay.
Zi Fu, you can keep whoever you want here.
Thank you, Mother!
Thank you, Madam Wang!
Have you heard?
The White Shirt Ghost was actually Mister Ma!
Now everyone can work in peace.
The fake ghost might be gone,
but the real ghost is still here. -Who are you trying to cheat?
What I'm saying is absolutely true.
10 years ago our household had a ghost issue
and even cost human lives!
Brother Li, is what you say true?
What's the full story?
That's right! Did you see it with your own eyes?
It was Uncle Zhang who told me!
If he hasn't left yet, we can go find him and ask for the truth now!
-Ying Ning, don't listen to his nonsense! -Who's nonsense!
Uncle Zhang wouldn't have lied to me. There are really ghosts here! If you keep accusing me, I'll fight you.
What's going on! Why aren't you doing your work properly?
-No, no, no... -Go water the plants!
Yes, Madam.
Stop there!
Madam.
Have you learned to slack off? If not for Zi Fu I wouldn't have let you stay.
You like flowers, but you're not taking care of them properly. If there are no flowers, how do we make our powder?
Let me tell you, if I catch you slacking off again, I will pack your things and send you away!
Yes, Madam. I understand.
Ying Ning!
Zi Fu? Why are you here?
Look at you sweating all over. Are you tired?
No, I'm not. I quite like working here!
I heard about mother scolding you.
Recently, because of business problems, she took her anger out on you. Don't take it to heart.
It's okay. Even if I were unhappy, seeing Da Huang makes my anger go away.
Ying Ning, your kindness is indeed rare.
Thank you.
What's wrong? Are you unhappy?
Right! Today I learned something new!
Brother Li said that Uncle Zhang who used to work here, knows about the ghost incident from 10 years ago!
We can go and ask Brother Li, and look for Uncle Zhang,
then we can find out the truth!
Perhaps.
Zi Fu, why do you still seem unhappy?
Sometimes I feel
like I'm extremely useless.
How can you say that you're useless?
You have a good brain, and you know about food You're the best!
My father died early.
My mother had to take care of me and the business at the same time.
Her body is not well. I studied hard
because I wanted to take care of her one day
so she won't have to work so hard.
Now I have customers, supplies, and people that work for me
But what a shame,
the flowers won't bloom.
Without the flowers, we can't make powders.
If this continues on, I'm afraid the powder mill will have to be closed.
You see?
I know what's going to happen, but I can do nothing about it.
My parents died when I was little.
I don't even remember what they look like. I didn't get a chance to do anything for them
Zi Fu, heaven knows about your heart.
The powder mill is going to be okay.
Flower, you heard Zi Fu's wish.
Let's make his dream come true.
Open your petals, won't you?
Silly, how can you talk with a flower?
You're not a flower, how do you know they don't understand?
Flowers, you all heard Zi Fu's wish.
Open your petals and bloom!
Alright?
Aunt! Aunt! Aunt!
Early in the morning, why are you so noisy?
You have to see this
-What is it? -I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but you have to see this.
Quickly!
The flowers bloomed!
These flowers smell so good.
This year's powder is gonna be great.
This is wonderful!
Wonderful!
Dong Lai, get people here.
Tell them to pick the flowers immediately and make powders.
Yes, Aunt. Come on everyone, let's work now!
-Go to work -Yes, let's go and do some work
Mom!
Zi Fu, what have you done?
These flowers bloomed in just one night.
I have done nothing, it's all because of Ying Ning's hard work.
You should do well.
This is your job.
Ying Ning, sorry about that.
My mom may be cold on the outside but she's warm on the inside.
She must be thanking you in her heart.
She just doesn't show it. Don't be mad, okay?
That's okay, I didn't do much anyways.
Didn't do much? You let the flowers bloom in just one night.
Tell me, how did you do it?
Did you use magic?
I didn't use any magic.
You're the one who has made all this happen.
Me?
I don't know magic.
The flowers were touched by your heart.
When I was on Green Hill, Auntie Lan always taught me, I have to love everything and they will definitely respond.
If you treat them as friends and take care of them, they will be good to you, too.
So if we are good to the flowers and ask them to help, they will open?
Come! Let's go thank the flowers!
Flowers! I'm here with Zi Fu to thank you.
Flowers, thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you all!
Miss Ying Ning,
do you need my help?
Such heavy work,
how are you able to handle it?
No, I find it interesting and meaningful. Thank you for your offer!
Miss is definitely different from others.
No, I'm not. I think Priest Cao is different.
Why does Miss think so? Is it because you have met other priests before?
Of course not! I've only heard of them.
I always thought that Taoist priests were very grim and vicious.
But after meeting you, I feel like I've met you before.
That's because I subdue demons, not humans.
But if I were to meet demons, ghosts or monsters,
then I would be ruthless in subduing them.
So, it's like that.
Miss, have you ever seen a real supernatural creature?
No, I haven't.
Then it's just as well. I can let you see
this Demon Reflecting Mirror.
It can reveal a demon's true from!
It can really identify demons?
As long as a demon comes into contact with the mirror,
it will immediately display its true appearance.
I, Wang ZiFu's greatest purpose in life is to let Ying Ning smile.
Ying Ning, come back with me. In the future, you are no longer allowed to come to the human world and meet this man!
Auntie Lan, why?
If man and demon want to be together,
there will be heavy consequences.
10 years ago you ran away.
I'll see where you can run today!
This silly girl is beginning to remember everything.
Ying Ning!
I don't want to see you again.
Go!
