The four-person group traveled together toward the Holy Capital, journeying through mountains and rivers, relying on each other for support. Ling Miaomiao silently vowed to protect everyone, especially Mu Sheng; she was determined not to let him turn dark. Before long, they arrived at the Holy Capital. Just before entering the city, Ling Miaomiao announced that she had something very important to say, summoning Cui Cui to listen as well.

She insisted that once they were in the capital, they had to trust each other completely and suggested they adopt a group name: the Four Heroes of the Bamboo Grove! She even crafted badges and a flag. While Mu Yao, Mu Sheng, and Liu Fuyi looked on with a mix of amusement and exasperation, Cui Cui was thrilled. Mu Sheng initially refused to wear his badge, but Ling Miaomiao put it on him anyway, and he didn’t resist further.

Once they arrived, Mu Yao’s family received word that the prince intended to make contact with the Monster-Catching Team before Zhao Ruoshi saw them. As the Four Heroes entered the city, the crescent moon overhead began to glow with a strange red light, causing everyone to panic—an ominous sign foretelling disaster. This crescent moon was actually left behind by Mu Qingshi when she sacrificed herself to mend the heavens.

It had taken the form of a stone embedded in this place, immovable except by the destined Heavenly-Level Monster Catcher, to whom it would awaken and recognize as its new master. Liu Fuyi went to find an inn, while Mu Yao decided to join him and left Mu Sheng to accompany Ling Miaomiao. Ling Miaomiao took a liking to a shell she saw, but it cost two taels of silver.

Disappointed, she dragged Mu Sheng away, realizing that prices in the Holy Capital were indeed exorbitant, with no hope of haggling. Pouting, she walked away, while Mu Sheng quickly went back and bought it for her. Meanwhile, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi were admiring a grand palace, which locals said was the Xing Shan Hall, built by Zhao Ruoshi to pray for the people’s blessings.

To the commoners, she was a benevolent figure, and her daughter, Princess Danyang, would marry next month, with the wedding held in this hall. Mu Yao sensed there was something suspicious behind it all. After paying double the price for a wind chime, Mu Sheng returned, only to find that Ling Miaomiao had wandered off.

Ling Miaomiao had entered the Wan Zhen Hall, where she overheard that the face masks sold there were infused with demon blood, and even demon fur was used to make clothing. Cui Cui was terrified by what it heard. In the hall, people were even selling demons as pets. Ling Miaomiao stepped forward, pretending to buy something, but the shop owner noticed the high-quality hairpin on her head and recognized Cui Cui as a top-grade bamboo demon.

She claimed its inner core would be extremely valuable. Ling Miaomiao refused to hand it over, and the shopkeeper tried to grab it by force. Just then, Mu Sheng arrived and rescued her. However, the shopkeeper began to cry and accuse them, claiming they were causing trouble because they couldn’t afford anything. Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi rushed over, only for the shopkeeper to demand eight hundred taels of gold in compensation.

In an exchange of insults, Ling Miaomiao argued back fiercely. A large man arrived, paid the shopkeeper, and left without giving his name, merely offering greetings from his master. It seemed they had been watched since entering the city—this was no ordinary place. After a brief rest, they decided to enter the palace the following day. That evening, Ling Miaomiao chatted with Mu Sheng, sharing her newfound realization of how harshly this world treated demons.

She finally understood why Mu Sheng never admitted he was one. Mu Sheng quickly denied it, explaining that someone had cast a spell on him when he was young, which made him this way. He was human, a monster catcher, not a demon. As Liu Fuyi passed by, he advised Mu Sheng to be gentler with Ling Miaomiao, which only annoyed Mu Sheng further.

Ling Miaomiao realized that if she didn’t intervene, the rift between them would deepen, but this time, Mu Sheng wouldn’t even listen to her. When they entered the palace, Zhao Ruoshi didn’t arrange for them to use the main entrance, directing them through a side gate instead. Feeling slighted, they protested, only for Zhao Ruoshi’s attendant, Peiyun, to explain that, due to palace regulations, they had to avoid the main gate’s records.

Inside Zhao Ruoshi’s palace, she only summoned Mu Yao and Mu Sheng, leaving Liu Fuyi and Ling Miaomiao to wait outside. Inside, Princess Danyang awoke from a nightmare, speaking incoherently. Zhao Ruoshi brought Mu Yao and Mu Sheng into the inner hall, hoping they could detect any demonic presence. However, after examining the area, they found no sign of demons. Zhao Ruoshi, skeptical, still believed it was the work of a demon and began to doubt their abilities.

Calmly, Mu Yao promised to uncover the truth before the wedding. In the palace, a nobleman happened to see Ling Miaomiao, who appeared as ethereal as a fairy, and was immediately captivated. However, he was quickly led away by his servants; after all, he was due to marry the princess next month.
