【Beginning】
After retrieving the Evil-Sealing Pagoda with the other individuals from Ancient China, Zhao Ling-Er and her family set out to search for a Runestone of great power, so she could send everyone back to their times. They set off to Afire Volcano. By that time, the group had already got used to living in the realm of Humans; relaxed after the recent incidents, Yi-Ru suggested that they have a family trip, enjoying the happy gathering time with the others.
- Li Hsiao-Yao: Yi-Ru, be good. Merely the missing of the Evil-Sealing Pagoda must have already caused a commotion back in Shushan.
- Li Hsiao-Yao: Though we have retrieved the Evil-Sealing Pagoda, I have to return and ease the others...
Being capricious, Yi-Ru dragged Zhao Ling-Er with her. They ran into a forest, and accidentally intruded into werewolves’ turf. After driving off the wolves, the two went to a river and rested. It was not until now did Ling-Er admonish Yi-Ru, saying that she was as reckless as her father.
- Li Yi-Ru: No, I’m not! Look, mother. Don’t you think I look more like you? We are like twins!
Zhao Ling-Er and her daughter peered at each other in the reflection on the water. The mother gently tied the daughter’s hair in buns, before carefully examining her delicate face.
- Zhao Ling-Er: This is dear Hsiao-Yao’s nose...
- Li Yi-Ru: But my eyes are just like mother’s...
The two frolicked as they strolled along the river.
Soon after Yi-Ru was born, Ling-Er had lost her life in a battle. She was unable to participate in Yi-Ru’s life until now. Thanks to marionette mite, a special creature in Ancient China that can act as a powerful vessel for others, Yue-Ru was granted the chance and ability to take care of Hsiao-Yao and Yi-Ru for Ling-Er; yet the vessel’s power faded after a few years.
To save Yue-Ru, Li Hsiao-Yao traveled around Ancient China for a suitable remedy. Evildoers like Master Yi Ye thus seized the opportunity to exert their despicable plans, causing Yi-Ru much troubles in her life...Ling-Er had witnessed it all in ghostland.
- Zhao Ling-Er: Yi-Ru, would you blame me for leaving you so early?
- Li Yi-Ru: Not at all. You sacrificed yourself to protect the Miaos. We should be the ones owing you, not the other way around...
Zhao Ling-Er lowered her body and hugged Yi-Ru tightly, attempting to moderate the godly power inside Yi-Ru. Yet wolf howls suddenly arose; she had no option but to withdraw her power, and fight the wolves together with Yi-Ru.
- Li Yi-Ru: I am not letting you hurt my mother!
【Before Battles】
- Zhao Ling-Er: Yi-Ru, don’t charge!
- Li Yi-Ru: Don’t worry, mother. Leave it to me!
【Enemy Dialog】
- Zhao Ling-Er: ‘This is bad... I still need time to moderate the pneuma in Yi-Ru...’
【After Battles】
- Zhao Ling-Er: Yi-Ru! Come here!
【End】
Yi-Ru pulled back upon hearing Zhao Ling-Er’s words. Ling-Er told Yi-Ru to shadow her in uttering the Water-controlling spell. The two were able to walk on the river now. Being unable to get close, the wolves stayed by the river’s edge and stared at them.
Zhao Ling-Er attempted to summon a wave to flush away the wolves, but the godly power on Yi-Ru burst and further strengthened her spell; the soaring river had grown so enormous that it even flooded over Ling-Er and Yi-Ru themselves. Seeing that her daughter had fainted after the power outburst, Ling-Er cast a Technique as protection, before they eventually stopped on a rocky plain...
