The demon fox tells the boy that he and his master are both demons. They were raised by the Great One, and they are both her servants. The great one sent her sister, Rou Mei, to seduce essence-cultivators into a trap so that the great One could absorb their power. The demon says that he has no resentment towards his sister because she has always protected him. He says that his injuries are recovering from what he sees, and that he feels so comfortable.

They discovered that Rou Mei had run away. They will get a chance to settle things with her later
