tearfully: before she descended to the earth, she was the South Sea Dragon King’s daughter, her father arranged
eight mistresses to avoid her escape, and every mistress gave her a bracelet, she would die if she even removed
one. However, Haipeng thought it was a lie and turned to leave. The fisher girl removed her bracelet fiercely in order
to prove her love for Haipeng, but died in his arms immediately. Haipeng was compunctious so much and went nearly mad in grief.

His great sorrow moved immortal Jiu Zhou Huan oldster, he told Haipeng the way to bring the fisher girl back to life. The oldster conducted him to
the Jiu Zhou Island and found a magical resurrection grass. But this grass must be fed by man’s blood everyday. Haipeng grew it with his blood
as the instruction. Days turned to years, and the grass was finally grown up and saved the fisher girl. Henceforth, the fisher girl became a true
mortal. On their wedding day, she found a gigantic and magical pearl at the seashore with all fisher girls in the village. In gratitude, the fisher girl
presents the precious pearl to the immortal oldster with both hands.
