♫ Don't be upset when the moon is covered by clouds♫

♫ When the clouds disappear ♫
♫ The moon lights up this world ♫

The Mixed-Blooded Fox: Ying Ning
Sometimes I feel like
I'm a useless person.
How can you be useless?
You have a smart 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 doesn'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, I'm afraid the plant has 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 gonna 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!
What's all the fuss about?
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!
Extremely wonderful! Dong Lai! Go look after guests!
Help them pluck fresh flowers to make into powder!
Yes, Aunt!
Come come! Start work! -Yes, start work. -Let's go!
Mom!
Zi Fu! What did you do?
These flowers, after a night, they have all bloomed!
I didn't do anything! It's thanks to Ying Ning who worked really hard.
Well, that's your job. You should do well.
Ying Ning, I'm sorry. My mom appears to be cold.
But on the inside, she is definitely grateful to you. She just doesn't know how to show it.
Don't take it to heart, okay?
It's fine. Anyway, I also didn't do anything.
Still saying not doing anything. Overnight, you had all the flowers in the garden blooming.
Tell me. How did you do it after all?
Did you use any magic or not?
I really didn't use any of my magic.
Saying that, what's really important is that the magic was all your doing.
My doing?
How can I do a magic?
Last night, the flowers heard your thoughts. Feeling touched by you.
While living in Green Hill, Auntie Lan always taught me that all living things must have love.
They will naturally respond to you. You treat them as friends. Treat them nicely.
They will also treat you nicely. Understand?
So we have to treat the flowers nicely to help them. So all the flowers will open.
Come, let us thank the flowers.
Flowers, Zi Fu and I came to thank you!
Flowers, thanks to you all!
Thanks, all of you!
Miss Ying Ning! How about if I help you?
You take a look, how can a little girl do so much heavy work?
It's not. I find it interesting and meaningful. Thank you for your offer.
Miss, you are definitely different from others.
I'm not. I think that Priest Cao is different.
Why does Miss think so?
Is it because you have met other Taoist priests?
Of course not. I've only heard of them.
I always thought Taoist priest were all 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 is a Demon-Revealing Mirror.
It will reveal the true form of a demon.
It really does reveal demons.
Any demon will reveal its form when it's shown in front of this mirror.
Priest Cao, this mirror is really special.
Excuse me, I have to water the flowers.
Am I being too suspicious?
She's just a common girl?
Thank God it didn't show my fox form.
But why wouldn't it show?
Maybe I have less training than a sparrow spirit.
No wonder sisters say that I'm an odd one.
Now, the Wang family face powder is more and more fragrant.
Really? I also have to try.
Go! Go!
Lord Wu, how come the shop front everyday is busy like this?
The powders that came these past few days have really strong fragrances,
so they sell really well, and our business is hot.
Ying Ning, since this order is being delivered, you should go and deliver the next one.
The other town needs it, too. We have too many customers, so I won't be able to come with you.
This is my first time in the store. I just want to check it out.
I'm not being lazy.
Sesame cake, big and tasty!
Miss, do you want a sesame cake?
My cake smells better than the flower powder.
Smells so good.
Two wen for a piece.
Three wen for two pieces
Do you want one?
But...I don't have any money
No money?
I'll take two.
-Okay. -Ma Sheng!
Miss Ying Ning, I'm sorry for playing a ghost.
This sesame cake is an apology of mine.
Sir, here's your sesame cake.
Everyone makes mistakes, please give me a chance.
Alright.
Smells so good.
The Wang's business is very hot these days. It must be your effort, right?
The business is hot because the flowers bloom on time.
That's why the powders made from those flowers are so popular.
Then...I'm wondering if there's a secret for making the flowers bloom early?
Secret? Not that I can think of.
But if there really is one,
then that would be me.
What do you mean?
Because I'm the only person who's taking care of the flowers.
So that's why.
I have to get get back to the mill now. See you later!
Alright.
Ying Ning, hurry and run!
Mom!
Quick, run!
Mom!
Ying Ning, quick, run! -Mom!
Ying Ning, quick, run!
Come, the ones here are already filled.
Hurry up...
Use your time well...
- Quicken your movements. -Zi Fu.
- Ying Ning. - I saw it...I saw it already.
See it? See what?
The nightmare I kept having nightly. You're mother...is also there.
My mother? Are you sure?
I recognized her ring. I can't be wrong.
Zi Fu, Madam most likely knows about what happened that year. Come, let's go ask her.
Ying Ning, let's not go already. My mom surely won't tell us anything.
Why?
A while ago, I initially planned to ask Brother Li about that thing 10 years ago
but then I discovered that he's gone. My mother asked him to leave and hid it from me.
Then what do we do next?
Brother Li is the only person who heard directly from Uncle Zhang the ghost incident in the storage room 10 years ago.
He's the only witness.
I think it's because my mom heard Brother Li mentioning to you about that incident.
So she deliberately asked him to leave so we cannot investigate the truth.
Why would Madam do that? Why did she want to hide what happened that year?
I'm also bothered. Everyone who knew about it are now gone and we don't have any clues anymore.
I also don't know how we can find the truth.
The only one who knows the truth is Madam. Let's go ask her.
Master Wu, the new batch of fragrance are done already. Please go and check it.
Okay.
It's like this. You go work first. We'll follow later.
Okay.
Ying Ning, this spell of yours doesn't seem to be effective.
You must not be discovered later in front of my mom.
I'll try again.
Zi Fu, is this better now? Mrs. Wang
trusts you the most. Right? Other than the most trusted you, then it's me. Maybe...
she will tell me.
You're here already, Dong Lai.
Madam. Oh, no...Auntie.
Why are you standing there? Come sit here.
Okay...Auntie.
Drink tea.
Dong Lai,
what price have you and Boss Dong agreed on?
What's going on? A big man like you still chokes while drinking tea?
it's nothing...
Our fragrances are really selling great. This is how I think...
This year, about the price of the fragrance, I think we should...
This...this...this...
That...this...
- How much is it really? - I feel that this is not the right time to talk about price change.
Because Zi Fu earlier was still asking me about the whereabouts of Xiao Li.
Why is Zi Fu so interested in this matter?
It might be that Ying Ning asking him to do so.
You must be careful. He must not find that Xiao Li who's talking nonsense.
The truth about 10 years ago must not be known by him.
Xiao Li is not that a big of a threat.
But if Zi Fu is able to find Uncle Zhang, then what should we do?
That is unlikely. Do you know that after that incident 10 years ago,
I already asked all the old workers to go.
Only Uncle Zhang remained because he has no one to go home to.
He lives in Han Mountain Temple. Zi Fu will never find him.
Although we failed to find out the truth,
but we still did have some harvest.
After all, we can know the truth through Uncle Zhang. This is our last chance.
I have a premonition that the truth is at Han Mountain Temple.
It's just in front of us.
The feeling of being back with nature is really great.
I really missed Qing Qiou!
Hey, Ying Ning. I frequently hear you talk about Qing Qiou. If we have time,
I also want to see it. See how beautiful that place is.
You want to go? I'll take you now...as long as you can catch me.
I'm coming...
I caught you. You must take me there.
Zi Fu...did you hear that?
Hear what?
Hey, Ying Ning.
Who's that cruel? Placing traps in the woods.
Sister White Fox don't be scared. I'll go save you now.
Careful.
Where did you come from? You dare to steal my hunt?
What grudge do you have with foxes? Why must you go to lengths to kill it?
I don't have any grudge with foxes.
But it's fur is good. One complete fur can get me 100 liang.
You cruelly kill mythical creatures just because of money?
- You're selfish and greedy! - Animals...
are born for us to use them.
Killing when one sees one is the law of the Heavens.
Why do I still need to have some reason?
Ying Ning!
Killing a fox is not a crime but killing a person is.
This fox is already dead.
Fox fur must be obtained while it's alive to be worth a fortune.
Getting after it is dead is not worth anything.
It's just full of pungent fox odor.
If you guys like it, I'll just give it to you.
Ying Ning...
I'm sorry. Little Sister was incapable and was not able to save you.
Ying Ning, the white fox is already dead.
We can't do anything about it anymore.
Let's just continue to look for Uncle Zhang, okay?
Little White Fox, how are you?
I'm sorry.
Auntie Lan is willing but unable to help you. Maybe this is really your fate.
Hope that in the next lifetime, you can escape this bad fate.
Little White Fox, before you die, can you help me out?
Let a female member of our clan find the right path
and prevent her from experiencing disaster.
Why...why must it die?
The truth is, whether it's a human, a white fox, or other animals,
all must die. This is the rule of nature.
No. I don't want death.
I don't want anyone around me leave.
Sister White Fox, don't die.
Don't die, okay?
Sister White Fox...
Don't die, okay?...
Ying Ning, you can bring the dead to life?
I also don't know.
I was just thinking to let Sister White Fox live again and not let her die a while ago.
It was alive because of you.
I also don't know why I have such a power.
But as long as Sister White Fox was revived then that's good already.
Little lamb stay right there; Big grey wolf is very bad.
Uncle Zhang, someone is here to see you.
Who am I?
- Uncle Zhang, I am Zi Fu. Do you still remember me? - Who am I?
Head Monk,
is Uncle Zhang always like this? Not able to remember anyone?
He has always been good until several days ago.
When a Madam visited him, he suddenly became like this afterwards.
He can only say 'who am I?'
Madam? What Madam?
What does she look like?
Around 40 years old.
A scarf was covering her face. I couldn't see her face.
But she smells very fragrant.
Around 40 years, smells very fragrant...
Could it be...
Maybe when we go and see Uncle Zhang next time.
he might be cured already. Don't be sad anymore.
We did have some harvest today. Think about Sister White Fox.
Ying Ning, smile a little.
I can't get myself to smile. I just want to know the truth.
What really did happen that year?
Mother!
Ying Ning, everyone is working hard.
This whole morning, where did you go?
Relpying to Madam, I went to Han Mountain Temple.
You're well, so why did you go there?
I went to visit an old uncle. I want to hear him tell stories.
Then have you heard any of his nonsense already?
Mother, no such thing.
I just heard that the view there was very nice.
And this time was a very good time to admire the view.
So I called Ying Ning to go on a trip.
There's not many things to do on the flower farm.
Mother, if you want to blame anyone just blame me.
Han Mountain Temple does indeed have very beautiful scenery. I don't know if Madam has ever been there before?
I wonder who made Han Mountain Temple's Uncle Zhang forget about 10 years ago and the barn ghost incident.
Unruly insane girl. Always talking nonsense all day.
My flower garden has not been watered for the whole day.
You are finally back so go and water them!
- I won't! - You...
Ying Ning, hurry and go.
Da Huang hasn't eaten yet. Hurry and just go.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team @ Viki
Lan Xiao Die, is it really you?
You won't be able to escape this time!
Yesterday everything was fine...
How come it turned out like this?
What are we going to do without the flowers?
How can we make powders?
What happened?
That's what I'm about to ask you.
How come all of the flowers withered in just one night?
I...I don't don't, they were fine yesterday.
Of course, you don't know.
Let me tell you, it's because that you're mad at me for yelling at you yesterday,
so you destroyed the garden, so we won't be able to make powders.
You want to cause trouble to our family.
No, I don't.
Mom, Ying Ning didn't do that.
Who else would do this besides her?
-Who else? -Aunt, things have already happened,
it's no use blaming Ying Ning.
First of all, we need to find another garden, then we have to deal with technical difficulties,
and we also have to deal with our customers. We don't have time now.
I'll deal with you later!
Let's go.
Let's go to work.
Zi Fu, you have to trust me, I didn't do anything!
Of course, I trust you. You can't be the one who did this.
Your trust is all that I need.
The most important thing right now is that we have to think of a way
to save the garden.
I can use my magic to revive them.
Magic?
Why can't I use my magic?
Ying Ning, what's the matter?
My magic doesn't work. I'm so useless.
That's okay, you tried your best.
But that's not enough. Because Zhang Bo lost his memory,
we can't get any information from him. And now this...
There are many things that can't be helped in life.
Don't blame on yourself, cheer up.
Is life really like this?
Hunters could kill foxes for their own benefit.
I just wanted to know what really happened ten years ago,
but Madam would rather lie than telling me the truth.
Now these flowers are all dead. I don't understand!
How can life be like this? I'm being forced and I'm so helpless.
But people just say "cheer up".
I don't get it, I really don't understand.
What happens to life? What happens to the people?
How come I can't come up with an answer after thinking all night?
Da Huang, what's the matter?
Da Huang! Da Huang, where are you going?
Where did the colors come from?
The flowers are blooming, don't be upset now.
Zi Fu, did you do all of this? So beautiful.
Yesterday, you asked me, why would people lie?
Why would they hurt other people and animals for their own benefit?
I cannot answer you. And I cannot explain
why these flowers withered in just one night.
You said you're useless, but so am I.
Sometimes, I feel even more useless.
How can you be useless? You are much smarter than me.
Because I can't cheer you up when you're upset.
The only thing I can do now is to make the flowers bloom,
and make you smile again.
Zi Fu, why are you so good to me?
This is what I want to do.
Now I know that...
The most important job in my life...
is to make you smile.
Ying Ning, will you smile now?
Grannie Hua Yue was right, it's so sweet.
Sweet? What's so sweet?
Ying Ning!
Ying Ning, what's the matter?
Zi Fu, Auntie Lan is looking for me.
Did you hear something? I don't hear anything.
Ying Ning, come here!
It really is Auntie Lan.
Ying Ning!
Auntie Lan! Auntie Lan!
Where are you Auntie Lan? Ying Ning is here.
Auntie Lan?
Ying Ning, there's no one here.
I'm here.
Auntie Lan, it's really you! I miss you so much!
Good girl, we'll talk when we get back to the Green Hill.
Come with me.
Auntie Lan, I can't go.
What's the matter? You want to stay in the human world and not come back?
No, no, Auntie Lan.
I discovered that the dream I had over and over again is real.
It happened in this barn.
Zi Fu found this with me.
I haven't uncovered all of the truth.
I'll go back with you when everything is settled.
You are Mister Wang?
Yes, he is Zi Fu.
He always helps me in the mill.
Zi Fu, this is Auntie Lan that I've been mentioning to you.
I'm Wang Zi Fu, let me show my respect Aunt Lan.
Ying Ning, listen to me, you have to leave this place.
Auntie Lan, I can't go unless I uncover everything.
Madam Wang will not tell you the truth, and Zhang Bo has lost his memory!
How can you find out what really happened?
Ying Ning, have you forgotten about the hunter?
If you stay in the human world, you'll just end up like the white fox.
Aunt Lan, how did you know what Zhang Bo has lost his memory?
The only person who knows this other than me, Ying Ning, and the monk...
is that woman who went ahead of us.
We're certain that that woman has something to do with Zhang Bo losing his memory.
Auntie Lan, how did you find out about the white fox and the hunter?
So it must be... Who else can make Zhang Bo lose his memory...
other than a fox spirit?
I believe that hunter is also a transformation of Aunt Lan?
You have no right to talk here!
Ying Ning, come with me
and don't come to the human world or see this person ever again!
Why, Auntie Lan? Why?
Ying Ning, this is for your own good!
No, I cannot go with you!
You must tell me everything...
What are you doing?
I put a spell on her.
No matter what happens next,
don't let her come out, and don't tell anybody.
I thought it was Lan Xiao Die, but it's you.
You thought you could trick me by jumping into the water?
Ten years ago, you were able to escape,
but you won't be able to this time. Tell me!
Are you the one that hid Lan Xiao Die's Inner Elixir?
You weren't able to get Xiao Die's inner elixir ten years ago,
and you won't be able to get it for the rest of your life!
Ying Ning, you can move now?
Auntie Lan! I have to see Auntie Lan!
You should surrender now...
and hand me Lan Xiao Die's inner elixir.
Otherwise, I'll let you die an awful death!
Don't you even think about it! You say that we are demons,
but I believe the real demon is you!
Alright, then I will have no mercy on you!
What are you doing?
I have to help Auntie Lan!
No! It's too dangerous!
Ying Ning!
Is it Lan Xiao Die?
Lan Xiao Die!
Ying Ning-Ying Ning-Ying Ning! Cao Fei is gone.
We must go and help Aunt Lan.
Come.
Ying Ning? Ying Ning?
Go away!
What's the matter, Ying Ning?
I don't won't to see you ever again. Go away!
Ying Ning!
Auntie Lan! Auntie Lan!
Auntie Lan!
Ying Ning!
Auntie Lan... Auntie Lan... Auntie Lan!
Auntie Lan, don't scare me!
I'll help you up, don't say anything now.
Let me help you.
Go away! I don't need your help!
What's the matter now? You've been acting like I'm your enemy
since a moment ago. What have I done to make you so mad?
You are my enemy!
How could I be your enemy?
You should ask your mom about that question.
What does my mother have to do with this? What's the matter anyway?
Go away!
Ying Ning, don't...don't blame Zi Fu.
The two of you shouldn't bear the burden of the last generation's hate.
Aunt Lan, what's the matter?
If I'm not guessing it wrong,
you must have remembered everything now?
Ying Ning, you remembered what happened ten years ago?
Let me tell you what happened,
so the two of you won't get into this dispute.
Ying Ning's mother, Lan Xiao Die, was a fox spirit from the Green Hill.
She was curious about the human world, so she went off the hill.
At the lantern fair, she fell in love with a scholar...
The last riddle tonight, "The man did not drink for the wine"
Guess the name of a flower.
Narcissus! (水仙）
The man did not drink for the wine.
But for the beauty of mountain（山） and water（水）.
There's a person（人） within mountain（山） and water（水）.
that's why it's narcissus（水仙）.
I'm Qin Sheng, may I know your name, miss?
My name...is Lan Xiao Die.
Lan, I've decided.
I will stay by his side for the rest of my life.
Xiao Die, he already has a wife.
if you do this, you will be blamed by the Qin's family
and everyone else for stealing another woman's husband.
I'm willing to take the blame and I won't regret my decision...
Because he really loves me, and it's very hard to find true love,
so I won't change my mind.
Besides, she is another reason for me to not give up.
Xiao Die, you mean that...
When I saw the three of you living happily together,
I even thought that this was going to last forever.
Until one day...
Your father received a letter from his first wife that...
said that they had been forgiven, and she would accept Xiao Die.
[Xin Xiang Fang]
I don't expect you to forgive me,
but I will serve you diligently in the future.
Sister, please forgive Xiao Die,
and accept my apology.
Mother, don't be angry now.
Ying Ning will play with you and cheer up, okay?
Ying Ning is very intelligent.
Xiao Die must have taught her well.
Thank you, Sister!
What happened? Are you okay?
I fell. It hurts.
Let's sing a song, and you'll feel better.
♪ Little lamb please be calm, the bad wolf is here.
♪ Don't be afraid, mother will come back.
Are you okay now? What's your name?
My name is Ying Ning. Ying...Ning...
My name is Wang Zi Fu.
Wang... Zi... Fu...
Please have some tea, Sister.
Let me put this bracelet on you.
From now on, you should be obedient and considerate, don't run away anymore.
One family living harmoniously, not being separated forever.
These bracelets have a spell on them!
Evil spirit, let's see if you can still escape here.
You...you fooled us into returning.
Yes...! Thanks to my sister for thinking about this scheme.
And I was able to fool you two into coming back.
You evil spirit...seducing my husband...causing my family to be destroyed.
You really think one sorry will make me forgive you?
Let me tell you, I'm so angry at you that I want to skin you, to pull apart be each joint.
Let you never be reincarnated and have a cruel death.
Priest Cao, kill this evil spirit for me!
- Kill her! - Hurry and take Ying Ning away!
Xiao Die...
Ying Ning! Hurry and run!
Ying Ning...
There's a magic border.
I've already set up a perfect trap to get you.
I never thought that your power was this strong.
This is really an unexpected harvest.
Ying Ning, wait for me here.
Xiao Die, don't mind me! Take Ying Ning away!
They won't do anything to me! Hurry and go!
Hurry and take Master inside to rest!
Bastard! Let go of me!
Sister, just leave this to me.
Ying Ning, stay here and don't move.
After mom takes care of that evil man, I will come back and find you.
LIttle Bastard, let's see where you can run to.
Mom?
Zi Fu, why are you here?
The thunder is too loud, I can't sleep.
No worries, get back into the house.
Go back into the house!
Ying Ning, don't be scared; come with me.
There's a table, hide there!
You evil Taoist! Your power has an evil aura.
You are sucking the power out of evil spirits to be used for yourself!
Despicable!
You demons mess with the human world, so no one will pity your death!
I'll make use of your power. Hand me over your inner elixir!
Even if I die, I will not let my inner elixir be tainted...
by someone despicable like you!
Stubborn even before you die!
Then I will rip off your skin and take out your inner elixir!
Xiao Die!
Go find Ying Ning, I'll handle this!
Be careful..
Ying Ning!
Where are you going?
Ying Ning!
Someone's calling me.
Ying Ning!
Where are you going? It's dangerous out there!
Ying Ning!
Mom!
Ying Ning!
Ying Ning! Ying Ning!
Mom, why are you bleeding?
I'm fine. Ying Ning, don't be afraid.
Mom likes Ying Ning best when she's smiling.
You have to promise me, to be happy for the rest of your life.
Mom will protect you.
