In this chapter, the monster slayer, the slayer, warns the mirror demon not to do any evil again. He explains that he went out to collect herbs for his sister, and his sister was injured. He says that he left her with countless reminders, and that he is still hurting. He asks why he still has the energy to make a fuss, and the monster replies that sheng is a child that "needs to be scolded". The monster then turns to Ling and asks why she is still crying. She says that she wants to be like her sister and meet someone like her brother, who loves her wholehearted. The monster says that this is a tragedy, as she is already twenty years old, but nobody cares about her. He then says that the ghost of the demon that slit its mouth when it was alive said something offensive, but that someone as eloquent and intelligent as Ling will not end up like this.
