After the group reunited, they returned to the Demon Investigation Bureau to report their mission. On the way, Zhuo Yichen noticed that Wen Xiao seemed physically stronger than before and asked her about it, but Zhao Yuanzhou remained silent on the subject. As they neared the Bureau, they heard Bai Jiu shouting in front of a mountain god temple, claiming he had seen a demon. The group decided to follow him into the temple to investigate.

Meanwhile, Zhen Mei from the Chongwu Battalion arrived at the Bureau, demanding to see the mission report. He was only willing to wait for half an incense stick's time before expecting them to return and was eager to see them fail. Inside the mountain god temple, Zhao Yuanzhou and the others found nothing unusual and were preparing to leave when they saw a yellow-haired youth standing in the courtyard, with a few soldiers lying on the ground, struggling in pain.

The youth introduced himself as Ying Lei, the spirit of the mountain god temple, claiming to have cultivated for over ten thousand years. His speech was dramatic and boastful. Zhao Yuanzhou assessed him as a half-god, half-demon entity. Realizing that they knew quite a bit about him, Ying Lei introduced himself more formally. He explained that his grandfather, Ying Zhao, was responsible for maintaining the barriers in the Great Wilderness.

After the Baize Token vanished, Ying Zhao used his power to seal the Heaven and Earth Gate to sustain the Great Wilderness. However, some demons had secretly reopened it, allowing lesser demons to slip into the human world. Ying Zhao, sensing the Great Wilderness's imminent collapse, tacitly allowed Ying Lei to descend into the human world. The two sides argued for a long time until Wen Xiao reminded them they needed to return and report.

Zhao Yuanzhou then insisted Ying Lei hand over any treasures. Reluctantly, Ying Lei produced a bunch of vegetables, boasting that his dream was to become a chef. When Zhao Yuanzhou pressed him further, Ying Lei finally handed over the temple’s prized possession, the Shan Hai Inch Realm. With the Shan Hai Inch Realm, the group could immediately return to the Demon Investigation Bureau, but only if its owner cast the spell.

Wen Xiao offered Ying Lei a job as a chef at the Bureau if he helped them, and Ying Lei agreed, using the Shan Hai Inch Realm to bring them back. Just as Zhen Mei was about to reprimand Fan Ying, the group appeared right on time, leaving Zhen Mei fuming as he stormed off with his soldiers. With the Water Demon case concluded, Zhao Yuanzhou invited everyone to his house outside the capital for a celebratory drink.

Knowing that Pei Sijing had been planning to leave, Wen Xiao suggested they all gather one last time. Pei Sijing, however, announced that she had decided to stay, realizing that embracing life fully was the highest form of living and was finally ready to let go of past obsessions. At Zhao Yuanzhou’s residence, Wen Xiao offered Ying Lei a drink, while Bai Jiu, being too young, had tea.

Wen Xiao teased Ying Lei, saying his beard made him look too old, and told him to go to Zhao Yuanzhou’s room to tidy it up. After shaving, Ying Lei looked even more handsome. Wen Xiao was also curious about what Zhao Yuanzhou kept in his water flask and why he never ate food. Ying Lei explained it was jade cream, which could boost strength and prolong life.

Previously, Zhao Yuanzhou had made a bet with Zhuo Yichen that the one to solve the case first could make the other do something. Although Zhao Yuanzhou won, Zhuo Yichen felt it was an unfair victory, and Wen Xiao also criticized Zhao Yuanzhou for not trusting the Demon Investigation Team. As Zhuo Yichen returned to the table, he saw Bai Jiu and Ying Lei excitedly discussing the upcoming Hua Kui competition at the Tianxiang Pavilion, entirely absorbed in it.

Just then, Pei Sijing, looking grim, entered and reported that there had been another murder case in the capital. Meanwhile, Li Lun, disguised as a woman, met with a man in black, revealing that he had leaked information to Pei Sijing and intended to make Zhao Yuanzhou suffer. The Demon Investigation Team quickly divided into groups and began their investigation on the scene.
