On the way back to the inn, Cui Cui transformed into a hairpin, unknowingly attaching himself to Ling Miaomiao’s hair. The innkeeper mentioned that his wife had gone to visit her family five years ago and was finally coming back tomorrow. The group sensed something strange—since they arrived in this town, every household mentioned someone away who would return the next day.

Suddenly, a woman’s wailing sounded outside; it was the mother of Douya, the child who had stolen money earlier. She was begging the Heavenly Official, as Douya had gone to Lost Valley to get a talisman for her. She anxiously pleaded for the Heavenly Official to save her daughter. The Heavenly Official used a Forgetfulness Spell on Douya’s mother, claiming he was helping them, as Douya wouldn’t return from Lost Valley and he was simply easing their pain.

Unconvinced, Mu Yao’s group immediately headed to Lost Valley, determined to fight whatever demons lay within and rescue Douya. As they went deeper into the valley, the mist grew thicker. Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi moved ahead to scout the path, while Ling Miaomiao followed Mu Sheng, but the two soon got separated. Ling Miaomiao spotted a figure and followed it, only to find a strangely-behaving Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi.

She then stumbled into a mysterious place, and the system informed her that she had failed the quest and was about to be erased. In the real world, Ling Miaomiao was moving forward in a daze, muttering for herself to be let out. Cui Cui, realizing she was about to drown, transformed back into human form to hold onto her tightly.

But Ling Miaomiao still became engulfed in a water sphere, and a dark force lulled her to sleep, promising to erase her troubles. Luckily, the sachet Mu Sheng had given her woke her up, allowing her to break the water sphere and save herself. Mu Yao, Mu Sheng, and Liu Fuyi also experienced something similar—they lost themselves as soon as they entered the valley.

Ling Miaomiao and Cui Cui went looking for them and came across Mu Sheng, who was walking in a trance. Mu Sheng, once a homeless child, was adopted into the Mu family thanks to Mu Yao’s compassion but endured mistreatment. The children mocked him, demanding he remove his headband, and when he did, he transformed into a white-haired demon. His inner demon was the fear that Mu Yao would discover his true nature.

Ling Miaomiao and Cui Cui tried to wake him but couldn’t hold him back, so Ling Miaomiao positioned herself in front of him and entered the water sphere with him. Inside his inner demon, she called out brightly, urging him to wake up, telling him that what he saw wasn’t real. Mu Sheng finally snapped out of it, shattering the water sphere, and they were safe at last.

This was the Water Demon’s curse, which trapped people in spheres and drowned them in their darkest fears. Unable to contact Mu Yao and the others, Cui Cui hesitantly offered to help by trying to connect with his kind to locate their companions. Liu Fuyi’s inner demon was his own self, heavier than anyone else’s. Mu Yao’s inner demon was the memory of the Mu family’s massacre, where the vengeful woman demon killed her family.

But Mu Yao’s mind was strong, and she quickly broke free from her inner demon. Suddenly, Cui Cui was flung by a magic array. His kin explained that demon hunters from the capital had set up this array, strengthening the Water Demon.

Mu Yao found that Liu Fuyi was deeply trapped in his inner demon and couldn’t escape, so Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng used Cui Cui as a signal base to connect with them, and they arranged to meet outside. Exhausted, Cui Cui fainted, and Ling Miaomiao softened, deciding to find a way to take Cui Cui with them on their journey. On the way out of the valley, Mu Sheng deliberately vanished to scare Ling Miaomiao.

When he reappeared, she threw herself into his arms, crying and demanding he swear never to leave her again. From that point on, the two walked hand in hand, leaning on each other as they continued forward.
