Duan Banxia was afraid that Sima Lingying would be upset, so she glanced at her. Chu Youhuang's unusually warm attitude toward Duan Banxia made Duan Banxia nervous, and it also made Sima Lingying uncomfortable. Chu Youhuang couldn't stop thinking about the wedding in the painting with Duan Banxia, and his mindset began to change. After the meal, Chu Youhuang escorted Sima Lingying back, while Duan Banxia waited for Jiu Xuanye to walk back together.

Sima Lingying could see through Chu Youhuang's feelings. The two walked in silence. Chu Youhuang was lost in thought and didn’t even realize he had passed his residence. Sima Lingying called out to him, thinking he was too deep in it to see clearly, and gave him another year to think things through. If he figured things out, he could come find her, but she wasn't insisting that it had to be him.

While eating with Jiu Xuanye, Duan Banxia opened up, saying she might not look the way her mother imagined, which might be why her mother was cold toward her. But Jiu Xuanye believed that Tang Ruyun had been trapped in the painting for over a decade and had been made into a statue of Guanyin, which must have affected her. Duan Banxia expressed her understanding.

At that moment, fireworks lit up the sky, startling Duan Banxia into clutching Jiu Xuanye's arm. The world in the painting had left a shadow in her heart. Jiu Xuanye reminded her that the things in the painting were in the past and not real. Duan Banxia pressed him, asking whether the confession in the painting was real. Jiu Xuanye pretended not to remember, so Duan Banxia anxiously recounted everything that happened that day in detail.

Jiu Xuanye tried to change the subject, but Duan Banxia insisted on asking whether he wanted to be with her and whether he truly liked her. Suddenly, Jiu Xuanye kissed Duan Banxia. She stood there dazed for a moment before breaking into a sweet smile. Jiu Xuanye walked Duan Banxia home. Duan Yingheng was grateful to Jiu Xuanye for saving his life and thanked him every time they met.

He invited Jiu Xuanye to visit their home another day, and Jiu Xuanye agreed. Duan Yingheng anxiously asked Duan Banxia what Jiu Xuanye liked to eat. Jiu Xuanye suggested just buying more meat. Duan Banxia noticed her mother’s indifference and deliberately tore her clothes to find Tang Ruyun, praising how her mother hadn’t aged a bit, then acting spoiled and leaning on her shoulder.

Tang Ruyun instinctively wanted to dodge, but Duan Banxia leaned on her again, and Tang Ruyun had no choice but to stop avoiding her. At that moment, Duan Yingheng arrived and was comforted to see the mother and daughter like that. Tang Ruyun teased Duan Yingheng for raising such a silver-tongued daughter, and seeing his parents being sweet to each other made Duan Banxia smile too. Xiang Shan and Xiang Feng, the brothers, also came to find Jiu Xuanye.

Shen Tunan had entrusted them with a letter. The Dihuo Bookstore in the underground city had been cleaned up, and those trapped had all been rescued. He hoped Jiu Xuanye could visit often. Xiang Shan originally had two brothers, but the youngest was killed on the spot at Dihuo Academy, leaving just the two of them. They knelt and bowed, thanking Jiu Xuanye for saving their lives. The Duan family went to the market together.

Duan Yingheng always hoped Duan Banxia would quickly invite her benefactor Jiu Xuanye to visit their home, but Duan Banxia hoped her parents wouldn’t be so formal, otherwise Jiu Xuanye might feel too awkward to come. Duan Yingheng seemed to notice something different about the relationship between Duan Banxia and Jiu Xuanye. That night, Zi Kong used a bloodstained handkerchief to perform a ritual to locate Jiu Xuanye.

At the same time, Jiu Xuanye woke from a dream, his eyes changing color instantly. A moon bug suddenly bit him. Jiu Xuanye walked outside, staring blankly at the signboard of Banshan Hall. Duan Banxia saw him and hurried over to greet him, but Jiu Xuanye clenched his fist, seemingly wanting to hit her. Zi Kong, meanwhile, stroked the sharp blade of the spear Lou Ying and accidentally cut his hand, causing a sharp pain in his heart.

On the other side, Jiu Xuanye also felt sudden chest pain and snapped back to clarity, clearly unable to recall what had just happened, nor why he had been bitten. Duan Banxia guessed that the moon bug must have been hungry and planned to buy some sheep lung the next day to make soup for it.

The next day, while Duan Banxia and Jiu Xuanye were cooking sheep lung soup, Duan Banxia expressed her wish to learn martial arts and hoped to hunt demons alongside Jiu Xuanye one day—just like in the painting. She felt truly weak and couldn’t help sighing. Zi Kong came outside, searching for Jiu Xuanye based on what he saw the previous day at Banshan Hall.

While Jiu Xuanye and Duan Banxia were shopping for groceries at the market, someone pointed out events from six years ago. Duan Banxia boldly introduced Jiu Xuanye and praised his deeds. She believed that communication was key to harmonious relationships between people. The villagers, hearing this, no longer feared Jiu Xuanye. Later, Duan Banxia brought Jiu Xuanye to her home and brought along many gifts. Duan Yingheng wanted to ask more questions, but Duan Banxia answered them all first.

Duan Yingheng deliberately sent Duan Banxia away and brought up the matter of her engagement with Jiu Xuanye. He hoped she could live a stable life and get married safely. Jiu Xuanye remained silent. On their way out, Duan Banxia asked Jiu Xuanye what her parents had said, but he didn’t answer and just quietly left.

In truth, Duan Yingheng had long noticed Duan Banxia’s feelings for Jiu Xuanye, but he had also heard rumors about the case from six years ago and was uneasy. He intentionally said those things in front of Jiu Xuanye to discourage their relationship. After returning home, Duan Banxia reminded her father to quickly write a letter to cancel the engagement. Since she could see demons, it wouldn’t be good for the Li family and might scare them. Tang Ruyun suddenly asked whether this was the only reason Duan Banxia wanted to break off the engagement.
