Court lady An Huilan comes to make a request. She claims she can hear the voice of a dead consort coming from within the water. Xi Wanlin, the Magpie Consort during Yandi's reign, drowned herself in the lake on the day the emperor was to visit her. The voice within the water is allegedly hers. Huilan asks Shouxue to save Wanlin, but Shouxue realizes there is more to the story than what Huilan is telling her.
While the bird monster wanders 
throughout the night,
بينما يحوم الوحش الطائر
،على مرّ الليل
Während die Vogelbestie
durch die Nacht streift,
Y mientras la monstruosa ave
deambula por la noche,
Y mientras la monstruosa ave
deambula por la noche,
Tandis que l’oiseau mystérieux
rôde dans la nuit,
जहाँ वह राक्षसी चिड़िया 
रातभर भटकती रहती है,
Mentre un uccello dall'aspetto sinistro
vaga nella notte,
Enquanto o monstro pássaro
vaga pela noite,
Пока чудовищная птица
блуждает по ночи,
