When reading the book back then, Ling Miaomiao had skimmed through it quickly, especially glossing over the subplot involving the second male lead, which remained rather vague. Now that she was trying to win over Mu Sheng, it turned out to be no easy task. Ling Miaomiao had initially assumed the plot would follow the original story, where the four of them would go directly to the Shengjing.

However, since the Lin family hadn’t been implicated, they no longer had any reason to go to Shengjing for clues. Instead, they arrived at a small town and checked into its only inn. During dinner, Mu Yao noticed that Ling Miaomiao seemed low in spirits and thought perhaps the food wasn’t to her taste. Little did she know that Ling Miaomiao was racking her brain to steer the plot back on track.

Later, Ling Miaomiao suggested they set out for Shengjing, but Mu Yao replied that a place like Shengjing wouldn’t usually harbor monsters; the primary task of a demon slayer was to exterminate demons. She reassured Ling Miaomiao that they could stay at the inn for a while, where she would teach her some spells, and only after she’d learned to protect herself would they head to Shengjing. Ling Miaomiao quickly agreed.

Back in her room, Mu Yao found Liu Fuyi helping her tidy up her bedding. He had seen her first prepare bedding for Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng but hadn’t had time to do his own, so he came over. Liu Fuyi seemed a bit out of sorts recently and, blushing, quickly found an excuse to leave. Mu Yao wanted to teach Ling Miaomiao some spells, but Mu Sheng scoffed at the idea.

Then, with a mischievous glint, he offered to teach Ling Miaomiao himself. Ling Miaomiao repeatedly refused and shot a pleading look at Mu Yao, but it was no use. Mu Sheng wasn’t planning to teach her any useful spells, so Ling Miaomiao brought up Mu Yao. Only then did Mu Sheng reluctantly teach her a basic fire-spark spell. Although it looked simple, Ling Miaomiao was at a loss, especially with Mu Sheng’s lack of patience.

She practiced for half a day but couldn’t even manage a single spark. Mu Sheng told her she needed a magical artifact, then handed her a ladle as an improvised artifact. After a whole day of fruitless efforts, Ling Miaomiao decided it was more urgent to increase Mu Sheng’s favorability. Since she and Mu Sheng were in a master-disciple relationship, and such relationships often turned romantic in novels and dramas, Ling Miaomiao devised a careful plan.

Ling Miaomiao sneaked into Mu Sheng’s room and placed cute dolls on his bed. But Mu Sheng wasn’t charmed at all; he simply burned them, causing his favorability rating toward her to drop by two percent. Ling Miaomiao pestered him to teach her more about demon-slaying knowledge, pointing out that there were no high-level demon-slayers yet. While Mu Sheng shared some techniques, Ling Miaomiao still struggled to learn them.

When she tried to act coquettish, his favorability dropped by another two points. One day, as Ling Miaomiao was practicing spells, a water demon suddenly sprang out of the water tank behind her and abducted her. Mu Sheng sensed something amiss and went to check the courtyard, where he confronted the water demon. Unable to defeat Mu Sheng, the demon only wanted a drop of his blood.

He even tried to use Ling Miaomiao as a shield, but Ling Miaomiao, quick-witted, managed to escape from his grasp. The demon accidentally injured Mu Sheng and caught a whiff of the scent of demon blood—Mu Sheng was part demon! Ling Miaomiao was utterly shocked; this secret wasn’t supposed to be revealed until the story’s end! Just then, Mu Yao appeared.

Afraid she would learn the truth, Mu Sheng used a reversal talisman to pull them all into a mirrored realm. In this domain, Mu Sheng’s powers were weakened, making it difficult to deal with the water demon. Ling Miaomiao watched from a corner as Mu Sheng suffered wounds all over his body, looking increasingly desperate.

The water demon relentlessly attacked the secrets Mu Sheng wished to keep hidden, until finally, in a fit of rage, Mu Sheng unleashed his full strength and killed the demon. His energy was now in disarray, preventing him from lifting the barrier for a while. Concerned, Ling Miaomiao ran over to Mu Sheng.

He handed her a talisman, instructing her to use it to open the barrier at noon and leave, and then to give all her blood to Mu Yao once outside. Everyone desired his blood, but Mu Sheng wanted only his older sister to have it. Ling Miaomiao was so frightened by his final-sounding words that she began to cry, tearing up the talisman. No matter what, she was determined that they would leave together!

Even if Mu Sheng was part demon, Ling Miaomiao only wanted him to survive. Mu Sheng’s eyes softened a bit as he told her to remove his hair tie. As Ling Miaomiao lifted her hand, the force of his energy knocked her back, injuring her as well. But despite her injuries, she crawled back to Mu Sheng, bloodied, and reached out to remove his hair tie.

She was once again knocked back, while a dark mist swirled around Mu Sheng, revealing his demonic form. Yet Ling Miaomiao’s eyes held no fear—only a glimmer of relief, which took Mu Sheng by surprise.
