Ling Miaomiao felt the magical artifact ring was too small, but Mu Sheng personally placed it on her finger. She paused, then withdrew her hand, took a step back, and glared at him, sulking by herself. Despite now having Mu Sheng’s personally crafted magical item, Ling Miaomiao’s magic skills didn’t improve, so she set her eyes on Mu Sheng’s demon-catching rod.

The water demon had told her that it was a low-level artifact and looked worn, but Mu Sheng treasured it greatly. It turned out that Mu Yao had made it herself, making it the most important thing to Mu Sheng. Ling Miaomiao felt a bit disheartened, realizing that Mu Sheng prioritized Mu Yao’s matters over her own feelings.

But Mu Sheng was indifferent, explaining that his purpose in life was for Mu Yao, and otherwise, he couldn’t see the point of a creature like him existing. Ling Miaomiao felt a pang of sympathy and jokingly told him he should see a therapist. Under the moonlight, the two watched the stars together, and Ling Miaomiao spoke about her own world. Although she was ordinary there, she still wanted to return, as it was the world that belonged to her.

Initially, she yearned to go home, but meeting Mu Sheng, Mu Yao, and the others gave her a sense of belonging to this world as well, including its demons and magic. But Mu Sheng focused on something else, realizing that this might be why she was struggling to learn magic. Ling Miaomiao then told Mu Sheng to call her Miaomiao, and she would call him Ziqi. Only then would she agree to train.

Though Mu Sheng appeared nonchalant, when he called her “Miaomiao,” a slight smile appeared on his lips. Mu Sheng used magic to set off fireworks for her, successfully advancing their progress to 35 percent. Early the next morning, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi also learned Ling Miaomiao’s name. Ling Miaomiao finally mastered creating firecrackers, and Mu Sheng encouraged her to continue practicing her core energy.

While they played around, the little bamboo demon Cui Cui suddenly appeared, timid as ever but still determined to follow Ling Miaomiao. Because Ling Miaomiao had arrived, the Mu family’s aura was everywhere in his territory. Demons were drawn there due to rumors that the Mu family possessed the blood of extreme yin.

Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng quickly went to discuss this matter with Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi, and Mu Yao guessed that the rumor might have been spread by the vengeful woman demon. Cui Cui stubbornly stuck with Ling Miaomiao, but Mu Yao, who despised demons, would surely kill him if she found out, so Cui Cui reluctantly left. Late that night, Mu Yao heard a noise outside her window and saw Liu Fuyi.

Growing up, she had trained in magic and once wondered if she might be the destined heavenly-grade demon hunter, but after meeting Liu Fuyi, she realized his renowned reputation was well-deserved and genuinely hoped he would achieve that rank. As they prepared to set off, Ling Miaomiao discovered that Cui Cui had transformed into a ladle, insisting on following her.

Cui Cui explained that he wanted to find his grandfather, who had been taken by a demon hunter who couldn’t distinguish between good and evil. He believed his grandfather might still be alive. Ling Miaomiao was touched by his story, but this character, Cui Cui, wasn’t in the original plot, and she’d already deviated from the main storyline too much. In the end, she reluctantly refused Cui Cui.

As they left the inn, Mu Yao reminded Ling Miaomiao not to show pity, as demon nature is unpredictable. Hearing this, Mu Sheng’s heart darkened once again. Halfway through their journey, they stopped for a meal, and Ling Miaomiao went to collect firewood but ran into danger. It turned out Mu Sheng was the one who frightened her on purpose.

He then burned the protective charm Liu Fuyi had given her and offered her a sachet resembling a beanbag instead, insisting that as his disciple, her protective item should come from him. Although Ling Miaomiao was initially annoyed, she happily accepted it and tied it to her waist. When Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi saw it, they thought she had picked up a random beanbag somewhere.

Mu Sheng had been in high spirits lately, and Mu Yao was gratified to see that for the first time in years, Mu Sheng had found a friend, and having Ling Miaomiao around was wonderful. When they reached a small town, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi went to arrange accommodations, while Ling Miaomiao admired the town’s simple folk customs. Just then, her money pouch was stolen.

It turned out the child’s father had passed away, and he had been stealing to pay for his mother’s treatment. Ling Miaomiao, feeling sympathy, gave him some money. At the inn, the innkeeper told them about the tale of Lost Valley. No one in town had ever ventured there, as it was considered an ominous place. The rumor had been spread by a swindler who carried an official-looking waist token from the Astronomy Bureau.

The four of them watched with clenched jaws as he scammed people, but even after they revealed their identities, he still warned them against entering the valley, insisting it was truly a place of misfortune!
