[Green Hill Fox Legend]
Magical Vixen Chapter - Axiu
When Pangu split heaven and earth apart, the bright and litbecame the skies, and the shady and muddy became the earth.
Which created the sun and the moon,the mountains and rivers.
Nuwa bestowed life force upon the earthand the myriad things got their wit.
Enabling the human environmentto become a paradise.
Nuwa let the fox spirits becomeone of the four holy companion animals
alongside the Qilin, Phoenix,and Azure dragon.
The fox spirit's resourceful witwas greatly beloved by Nuwa.
Later on, in order to pacify Western Zhou dynasty's chaos of war, Nuwa ordered a fox spirit to mingle among men, making King Zhou lose his sanity.
But as it brought calamity over human kind, Nuwa wasenraged and banished the fox spirit out of the four holy animals.
She stripped it of it's holy animal immortal powers. Sent it to the green mountains with the punisment of raising magical trees, waiting upon the celestial emperor.
The magic fruit that the magical tree gives every 500 years, can give it's eater supreme immortal powers of temptation.
Fei Yue! Sister Fei Yue, are you ok?
You ran so fast.Did you try to beat me?
If I can't even beat you, how can I be a fairy?
Are your feet okay?
Seems like you won't be able to join the ceremony for the coming of the magical fruit.
No, it's not okay.
This magical fruit tree is a curiosity which lady Nuwa bestowed upon our fox-kind.
It can give only one fruit every 500 years.
If I miss it, I'll have to wait for another 500 years. I have to participate.
Besides, we are all taking care of the magical tree,how can we miss this?
Fei Yue, but grandma already said
you cannot participate in the ceremony.
Brother Hu Si, don't make me mad.
I have to go.
This magical tree has miraculousimmortal powers of temptation.
Not to mention that by eating from it, even the slightest bite, it can greatly increase your power.
But I have a date. I cannot participate.
Tonight, I need to propose.
Propose?
You keep trying, but keep failing every time.Could you propose marriage?
Even if I get rejected, how does it matter?
If they are happy, I'm happy.
This is real love, isn't it?
You guys don't understand.
Bye!
Are your feet better now?
It's better, but I'm still confused.
Why doesn't he let me participate in the ceremony?
Anyway, you don't really have any care about the love relationship of the humans.
For you, the magic fruitalmost has no meaning.
That's right. If you don't make it this time,you can try it next time.
What next time?I had to wait 500 years for this time.
I want to see what this ripening magic fruit is like.
Even if I get to just see it once, it's enough.
This girl... only knows how to dream to become a fairy.
Well, I should go for a bathand get ready for the greeting ceremony.
Okay, I'll wait for you over here.
Sister Hua Yue!
-Ning Ning? -It's not good. The wolf packs are coming.
What? They dare to come and cause trouble at a time like this? They play with fire.
Sister, we two are not their opponent.Quickly, find grandma first, I will buy some time.
-Alright, then, you be careful. I'll go and come back quickly. -Okay.
You see? Wow, it's pretty. It is.
- This is the magic fruit- Indeed
- Greetings, Grandma!- Greetings, Grandma!
You all elders, no need for courtesy. Did you all preparefor the current welcoming of the magic fruit celebration?
Replying, Grandma: Everything has been prepared.
The only thing left is to wait for the ripe fruit to fall down.
There are so many magic fruits but which one is the ripen one?
500 years have gone by and again it is the time for the magic fruit to ripen.
Everybody follow me to welcome the magic fruit-
Grandma! Grandma!
Bad news, bad news! The wolf pack are coming!
This wolf pack has some nerve.How dare they coming at such a time to stir trouble.
Quick, follow me. We'll go check this.
- Who are you?- What do you think you're doing?
Someone came to steal the magic fruitsCome quickly! Come quickly!
I can't let you steal the magic fruit away!
- What happened?- What's going on?
- Inform Grandma at once: Someone is stealing the magic fruits!- Ok!
Put down the magic fruit!
The sky lanterns are beautiful indeed.
Just like the stars.
Is this a falling star?
Is this someone fighting?
Fei Yue?
Quickly go back. Grandma is waiting for you.
-Ok.- Let's go.
Grandma is back.
Grandma... don't worry, Grandma.
What's going on? A moment ago Fei Yue wentto look for the magic fruits. Did she return yet?
- I didn't see her.- No.
Did anyone come to her aid?
- How did it go? Have you found it?- I have
This is the piece I tore away from the clotheswhich the magic fruits thief was wearing.
Did you catch the vixen who stole the magic fruit?
How can she do it with a strength like hers?She probably let it run away.
Grandma, it's all because ofmy insufficient strength.
This vixen was much stronger than I am.I was no match for her.
Being able to steal the magic fruit, she is no commonperson. There must have been some pre-planning.
Making noise at one side and attacking at the other...You shouldn't have gone showing off your powers.
I'm sorry, Grandma.I was mistaken.
I thought that the wolf pack was attacking at that time.
- So I didn't look for Fei Yue.- I know.
And I don't blame her either.Now, except for this ragged piece of cloth,
we have no lead whatsoever.How can we find her?
Grandma, a piece of cloth is also a lead.Maybe it still keeps the vixen's smell?
Indeed.
In the capital.
I am also distressed.I initially planned to go with you to the celebration,
but unexpectedly fell asleep under the tree.
How strange...
You had clearly came running, asking me to inform grandma that the wolf pack were coming to raid us.
And now you're telling me that you fell asleep?Who are you trying to fool?
Sister Hua Yue, I'm not fooling you.Did I not wake up when you came?
I, too, don't know how to explain this.
Stop quibbling.
- I...- Enough. The two of you quarreling won't solve a thing.
The most important thing now is to find the magic fruit.
This has to do with the future fate of our fox-kind.
That's right. You find the magic fruit,and maybe the whole thing will be cleared.
So you sisters are saying we should finda lead to the magic fruit?
Yes. We've just looked at the water mirror and found out
that it is in the Meng mansion in the capital.
Meng mansion in the capital?
Grandma, I think that in this caseof the stolen magical fruit,
it would be best to beg for Nuwa's forgiveness.Afterwards we will think of some solution.
Since we've got this far, whatever we can keep secret, we should keep secret.
If lady Nuwa were to find out,she would consider it a severe crime.
I am aware of that, of course.But as the calamity will be hard to avoid,
I would rather take the chance to save ourselves.
Grandma, other than the fact that the female foxvanished near the Meng family,
there are no other clues.Where should we go look?
If you are brave enough, go to Meng's family to find it.
If you ask me to, I dare not to.
This has to do with the survival of the Green Hill.It's a matter of life or death for the fox-kind.
How can I take it on myself?
It should probably be done by the genius,Liu Changyan.

Clan Leader.
Su Xi, why are you crying?
It was the smoke. Clan Leader, the smoke was too much.
- If you don't believe it, you can try it.- Ok, ok.
Enough, now is the most exciting part.
Shoo! Shoo!
It must be you! You knew you were about to lose,
that's why you called the animal to come and destroy the game.
It is obvious that you called the animal.I won the game.
- I win! - I win!- I win!
Both Taoists, don't fight anymore. I can arrange the game as it was before for you two.
Recover?
Both, please.
There are so many different colored pieces in different positions on the board and you remembered them all?
Not a single mistake, nor missing a piece.
Just because you said it's correct doesn't mean it is correct. There are so many pieces, how was I suppose to memorize them all?
My family Clan Leader has the best memory. If he claims to be the second best, then no one in the world would dare to claim to be the first.
- If he says it's correct, then it must be correct. - Enough.
The chess placement seems so much alike. But how can you prove that not one of it is wrong?
That is very easy. Can I ask for another chess board?
Both Taoists, I will put them back once more.
If the first time I've placed them casually, then it won't be possible to put the pieces back in the exact same order.
If both chess game pieces are placed in the exactsame position, then I will believe you.
Okay.
Please.
Didn't I say that our family's clan leader can't be wrong! Do you believe now?
Amazing! The young man's abilities are formidable.
Do you want to learn the "Hidden treasurein the sleeve" technique? We will both teach you.
I am Liu Changyan. Thank you both.
You are smarter than most.You most likely will not disappoint us.
Are you really going to go search for the enchanted fruit?
Look at me. Do I look like I am joking?
Fei Yue, I think you should think about it and reconsider.
Besides, you are no match to that vixen.
That's correct. Right now, your opponent is not just that vixen.
I am more worried that you've fell for the trick of that Meng Anren!
How powerful can a mortal human be? Hua Yue, we are spirit foxes.
That's right! We are spirit foxes.
Rumor has it that Meng Anren isboth sinister and cunning, and excels in trickery.
A treacherous official cast out from human society;
this man is vengeful.
And he has a reputation of having the blackest heart in the world.
Fine, I know I am not a match to that vixen.
But I am the only one in the Green Hillwho fought her, right?
So I just need to see her, in order to identify her right away.
Now, about that Meng Anren...
Seems like I'm not overly affectedby those man-woman shmoopi talks.
So in handling such a treacherous evil man,I should be the best choice.
Changyan, you must think of a solution.
Find the magic fruit before the worship ceremony.
The future of the whole fox tribe relies on you.
I will do my best to find the magic fruit.
But Grandma, I really do not agree
to hide the truth from Goddess Nuwa.
In worshiping, if you get the magic fruit back before Lady Nuwa finds out,
it is not considered cheating.
I will confess my sin to Nuwa.
If you do not get the magic fruit back, this hiding of truth will swell into an embezzlement.
With me being in charge.
Until then, I think the punishment from Goddess Nuwa to you guys
will be less severe.
I understand.
For the fox clan, for grandma, I'll definitely find the magical fruit.
Why would the leader want to see me?
I need to go back to the human world for an appointment.
We have some questions for you. It won't take long.
It's about the magical fruit, isn't it?
I already said it. Last time, when I warned grandma about the wolf clan's coming...
I was with everyone else afterward.
I don't know how the magic fruit was stolen.
I heard that you are super smart and it is absolutely right.
It's certainly on point but the wolf clan didn't come to cause troubles.
How did you know that the wolf tribe was planning the attack?
What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying?
Last time, Yi Ning was the one who told me the wolf clan was coming.
Leader Zhang, Su Xi.
Ying Ning, you came at the right time. Tell them what you told me last time.
I...I... I didn't tell you the wolf clan was coming.
One said there was, another one said it didn't.
Who's the one lying now?
Ying Ning, why are you lying?
I didn't!
That day, you were the one who told me the wolf clan was coming.
Didn't I tell you? I fell asleep that day.
When I woke up, the fruit was already gone.
The wolf attack is just a trap. It's purpose is to divert everyone's attention for them to succeed in stealing the fruit.
Then the one who reported this news has the greatest suspicion.
Are you saying that I am the one who stole the magic fruit?
Our task is to look for clues regarding where the fruit is.We cannot let any lead go.
When Ying Ning looked for you, did anyone see that?
No, she's the only one.
-Clan leader. Su Xi?-Ying Ning,
were there any witness who saw you sleeping under the tree?
I... I don't know.
Who would she know? She fell asleep. She wouldn't know who was watching her sleeping.
Okay, both of us don't have any witnesses,
then you don't have any proof of which one of us is lying.
Sister Hua Yue, I really didn't lie.
Ying Ning doesn't know how to lie; furthermore, the magical fruit will not have any use with her.
Then because I have been to the human world, have been in love, so I have to get the magic fruit?
So you're saying I stole the magic fruit?
I understand. This situation is hard to hide.
Nuwa will find out sooner or later,
so you want to find a scapegoat to put this all on.
Therefore you want to sacrifice me.
I will not be scared so easily.
We just want to find out the truth behind it all.
Before we have proof. we will not accuse anyone.
Fine. You better investigate thoroughly.
I'm going to the human world to find love.
If you need me, come find me there.
Ying Ning, go home. Auntie Lan should be looking for you.
Alright, I understand.
Leader, I really didn't lie.
I was really asleep.
Ying Ning, I believe you. I really do.
Stop talking about it.
We'll speak after I've investigated.
Alright.
Seriously, can you close your mouth and stop the nonsense.
I was just saying what's on my mind.
No thief would admit they're the thief.
That Hua Yue is always so cunning and arrogant, she's very suspicious.
Yes-yes. She's the thief because she's so cunning and arrogant.
Then you think it's Ying Ning? She has no witness either.
Ying Ning has never left Green Hill.
Why would she steal the fruit during the lantern ceremony?
If it isn't Ying Ning and it isn't Hua Yue, then who could it be?
Hey! Clan leader!
Hua Yue, look at these grapes of mine. They're big and sweet. Eating some can make you more beautiful.
-Try one first. Isn't it sweet? -Taste some of my wine first.
Move on a little. Hua Yue...
- It can make your skin more white and smooth.- Get lost!
- More beautiful- What's that...really?!
Pal, let me tell you. The one Hua Yue likes is me.
You...Hua Yue is mine. Get it?
She's mine! Mine! Mine!
Enough...Enough...
The two of you fighting makes my head ache.
Miss Hua Yue, sorry. It's all his fault...
Both of you say that you like me.
Willing to go up a sword-filled mountain, go down a flaming sea.
But...what am I supposed to do?
Miss Hua Yue, tell him that the one you like is me!
Both of you have a sweet tongue.
You...
I like.
But...
you...
I cannot also bear to lose.
It's just that trees have tall and short, ponds have deep and shallow.
I like the both of you.
But I don't know, who among you loves me more?
Me!
How about this?
I'll give you guys one chance to prove to me
who loves me more.
Hua Yue likes rare flowers.The two of you both say that you love me.
How about this? Who among the two of you can get me that flower,
then he's the one who loves me more.Then I will choose him.
Oh my! This is a little too high...
Why? Not willing anymore?
This is too high.
I think he is afraid already.
A rich kid with a weak body like that? Does he have the guts?
Stop spouting nonsense! My intention for Hua Yue is sincere.
It's just climbing a cliff to get a flower.
Just to get a pretty woman's smile, I will do anything.
Hurry!
Hurry! Put in more effort!
Hey, put in more effort! Remember, who gets the flower gets me.
Fighting!
Careful!
Hey! Careful!
Aahhh!!!!
Thank you for Master's help.If something really happened,
I really don't know what to do.
May I ask for Master's name?
My name is Zhuo Yun. I'm here to look for someone.
I didn't expect to encounter a frightening accident like this so I recklessly interfered.
Don't know if I scared you, Miss Hua Yue?
Master's skills are extraordinary. I'm very grateful for your help.
But the one that scared me is not Master,
it's them...
Miss, are you alright?
Am I being discourteous?
Of course not.
Master's skill is extraordinary.
This is something I admire.
Master, why are you standing so far away?
Master, what is this?
It's a magical item to catch monsters or mythical creatures.
Catch monsters or mythical creatures?
Right! I am here today to catch you.
Hey! What kind of Taoist are you?
You don't go catching those monsters that harm humans,
but why deliberately catch me?
You are indeed that harming monster.
Xui Zhou City's Chen Shi Kang just shaved his head and became a monk. He vowed not to get near women again.
Yang Zhou City's Liu Wen Xiou left his wife and children.He left his long sought merits and fame
just to look for you in every mountain and sea, but in the end he killed himself.
- And also Wang Bing Liang...- Enough...
Let me tell you. Since I came to our world,
I never used my seductive powers.
It's those men who came up to me.
And even told me that they'll marry me.
Men being womanizers, is that also my fault?
You're evading the point! You don't care if they already have a family
and still went with them; hurt them.
And you say you're not a monster who harms people?
Just for this year, the men whose hearts you broke are too many to count!
Man likes, woman loves.Both are willing to be together.
A man leaving a woman is okay, so why can't I leave them?
One destiny comes, everyone is happy.
Once destiny has gone, getting separated is just natural.
If they cannot move on, it's their problem.What does that got to do with me?
How can you treat love as a child's game?
The rule in the human world is that one cannot just come and go as he wishes.
Lovers should be together till the end, do you know that?
Are you a Taoist or a monk? Why are your words full of monk teachings of virtue and morality?
Hey, could it be that you know what romantic love is?
Do you know the sweetness and happiness it contains?It can make anyone risk everything
just to have it. It isn't as strict as the rules you are mumbling about.
You are stubborn and don't want to change your wrong ways!
Since you are like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
Miss, are you alright?
I am okay.
Your leg is hurt.
That rock suddenly came down from the sky.
How about you, Miss? Where did you come from?
Let's not talk about this now.
This forest is not safe. Let's leave here first.
There's a lad there. Let's ask him to help us.
Don't call him. He's a bad guy.
He's here to catch me.
Bad guy...
Miss, I recognized you wrongly. I apologize.
Hey, Miss...
You were here picking flowers. Did you see any other girl?
None.
Thank you, Miss.
Miss, are you still okay?
He has already left.
Thank you.
That eagle would not eat that fox, right?
Even if she is a fox, but she saved me earlier.I owe her my life.
I cannot leave her like that.
What do I do?
Go away! Get lost!
However you look at it, I still owe you my life.
How can I leave you just like that.
Oh...
Can it be that the girl picking flower saved me?
Xiu Er, get some high quality fans
for Mr. Zhang. Let him choose among them.
Okay. Please wait for me for a while.
Why are there so many fans here?
Little Miss, these were sent by Master Liu this morning.
He said that he wants to sell it here as consignment.
Are you saying that Master Liu is back?
Okay.
I told you to get some fans but why are you just standing here?This big business is being delayed by you.
Go...
Go.
How about if we also give these fans for the customers to choose from?
These cannot be. The fans Master Liu sent are of low quality, the customer wouldn't want them.
Dad, Master Liu put these fans in our store for us to sell them.
We don't need to exert any time nor effort and we can even earn by adding some profit.
Dad, if you think these fans' quality are really bad,
then I'll just write on them and try to improve on them, then they will be fine.
Fine.
Thank you, Dad.
You girl, you're just how old?You dare to control your dad already.
Let's make an agreement first.Any strokes that you placed on his fans,
you have to ask him for payment, ok?
Okay, Dad. Then I'll take these fans now for the customers to choose from, okay?
Take these.
These humans are weird. Aren't those just fans?
Why make it so complicated?
Mister Zhang, what do you think of this fan?
Let me see...
- Fox!...- Where?
- It went that way!- What are you still doing there? Go and chase it!
Yes! Chase the fox!
It's okay... Nothing's wrong...
Catch the fox... Catch it...
Where's the fox? Catch it... Don't just stand there...
Catch it...Catch the fox...
Why did the fox disappear?
We were fine before...
Why will there be a fox in our house?
Master! There's really a fox. I saw it!
- I'm not lying...- I think that you saw it wrong. How can a fox let you see it so easily.
Even if there is a fox, it should be in the forest.Why will it come to our house?
There's a chance that what you saw is just a rat.
It's not a rat. It's really a fox. It ran here to our backyard.
Where? Where's the fox? I'm telling you that if I don't see it today, you won't have any dinner tonight!
I really saw it, Little Miss. I'm not lying to you.
- Master, I really saw a fox.- Enough! The two of you stop fighting already!
Either it's a rat or fox, just catch it and we'll know.
If it scared the customers away, what...should we do then?
- Find it!...- Okay, find...Fox!
Fox!
Go.
Go... Hurry and go...Go...
Xiu Er!
What's wrong with you? Why do you keep doing this?
I am a little hot.
Hey... Come here...
- Come.- Master...
Move.
Later when I say 1, 2, 3, you raise that together.Once you raise it, I will hit it with this.
- I saw a rat! The rat went there...- A rat?
- Hit it!- Hurry and chase after it! Hurry!
Chase after it!
You scared me.
You can't just stay here and go running around outside.
If you are seen by my dad, he will really kill you and use you to make a cape.
I'm sorry. It's just that when I woke up earlier,I didn't know where I was,
so I went outside to look around.
Who would've thought that your household servant's vision was very sharp.
Your dad's too fierce.
My dad just has a big voice. But he is very nice, and very kind.
He helps the poor a lot. He is a good man.
You must not hurt him.
Even though I am a fox, I still know how to repay what I owe.
Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt them.
Then... are you a god
or a monster?
I am not a god.
I am also not a monster.
I'm from Green Hill. I'm a fox spirit who can turn into human form, named Hua Yue.
Hua Yue?
I'm called Axiu. Then you are really a vixen?(The Chinese word for vixen is fox.)
I'm a fox spirit! I came here to your world just to have fun.
Fox spirit?
If you are really a fox spirit who came to our world just to have fun,
then why does that lad earlier want to catch you?
Just mentioning him makes me angry. That brat
is nothing but a newly trained Taoist.
He thinks that bringing a monster-catching sack and a mahogany sword, he can already act like some hero.
He didn't even try to investigate if I have really hurt anyone.
I'm so mad at him.
Is that it? Then why don't you tell him the truth clearly?
I cannot talk to him clearly.
By the way, Miss Axiu, my leg is hurt.
If I go out now, he will definitely try to bother me again.
Can I stay here in your house for a short while?
When my wound is healed, I will definitely repay your grace.
Staying here is no problem, but...
the one who should repay someone for saving a life is me.
It's just because Zhuo Yun is chasing after me, so it's just right that I save you; there's nothing to repay.
- You are my savior.- It's you who is a savior.
- No, it's you.- No, it's you.
No, I'm the one who owes you my life.
Fine, let's just treat it as that we have repaid each other's debt already.
By the way, since you claim that I'm your savior,
then go and make your savior some food.
Okay, come with me.
Quickly, come in.
This is the kitchen. Whatever you want to eat, take it.
-What happened, Axiu? -There's a mouse!
A mouse?
Come out!
Come out! Come out!
Let's see where you're gonna be able to run to?
You're... not going to eat it, are you?
Yes, I will eat it.
This mouse meat is really tasty. Do you want to try it?
I was kidding. I won't eat the mouse.
You went to pick flowers only because you want to make this?
Yes, this isn't only used for art,
using it on fans make them more beautiful.
Look, aren't the colors very fresh?
Axiu, why are there two lanterns here?
This fan isn't completed yet. It still needs some work. You don't have to look at it.
Hua Yue, you are a fox spirit. That means you can do magic, right?
Of course.
Then, can you show it to me?
Hua Yue?
How is it? It's good, right?
You're really good!
I can do better than that.
It's so nice!
How did you do this?
You're too good, Hua Yue!
It's so pretty!
You're really good!
It's really good.
Wow!
Boss, I want to take a look at this basket.
- Okay.- Master, the lantern season is about to happen.
Our lanterns are getting easier to sell.
Look here. There are two levels.We always used high quality bamboo to make these.
When you carry it, it's really light.
Customer, what do you want to buy today?
- I want this fan. - Okay, I'll wrap it up for you.
No need.
You see this basket, it's quite pretty.
Yeah, it's quite sturdy.
Hua Yue, today I'm going to the lantern gathering, so I'm not going to eat with you.
After you finish eating, just go to sleep. You don't need to wait for me.
Wait for me!
It must be fun, right?
Bring me with you!
I see your leg isn't fully healed yet, it's better if you don't go out.
Then bring me with you! You see, my leg is fine now.
Bring me with you.
Smells good.
You even put on makeup!
It's nothing. It's just a bit hot, that's all.
There are so many people wandering around at this lantern festival. You might encounter Zhuo Yun who wants to capture you.
Then, it won't be good.
The reason I'm going to the lantern gathering, it's not for fun.
I want to see the lantern manufacture skill from other people so we can improve ours in the future.
If you come with me, you'll find it very boring.
Really?
Of course, also I'll come back quickly.
Then, you eat lots. I'll go now.
What are you looking at?
Hey, don't you know how to walk?
It's your first time coming out, right?
Move!
The lantern gathering is starting!
We only have three rounds here.
If anyone guesses the first question
and second question right, can go on to the third question.
If you win, you can have this very, very, very, famous..
flower lantern
If you lose, don't be disappointed. If you are able to reach the second round,
you can also get a beautiful orchid.
Okay, the first round starts now.
Here it is: It is round when you draw it, but it is square when you write it.
It is short in the winter and it is long in the summer. The answer to the riddle is one word.
Young lady, you want this orchid?
Of course.
Flower lantern lady, if I get the answer right...
I will give the flower lantern to you personally.
I'm going first! I'm first!
Okay, if any of you can win the flower lantern,
then I will ask you to carry the lantern while we're on the boat out on the lake.
It is round when you draw it but it is square when you write it.
It's this easy yet no one can guess.
The answer to this riddle is...
the word, "day." (Ri in Chinese have different meaning- day/sun)
This young lady got the first question right!
Good! Everyone, look at question #2.
There is a fish in the East Sea. It has neither head nor tail.
Remove its backbone, and you will get the answer.
You need to answer with one word.
I see I need to use my own strength to win the flower lantern.
The answer to this riddle...
is also the word, "day."
