The chapter opens with a soliloquy by the narrator, who says that he can be "soft- hearted" to anyone. He tells us that he's not in love with Cai, and that he doesn't have a romantic relationship with Cai. He also says that the bell on the bell will not make a sound if you shake it. The narrator asks why Cai is so flustered, and the narrator says that they're leaving for penglai right now. He asks if the peach blossoms are blooming now, and Cai says that it's too early for them to go there. He says that there's no way they can go there right now, because the peach-blossom demon is nearby, and this is a rare opportunity. He then says that if the ring on the spiritual ring shows the direction to the demon, then they'll find it. He explains that he had planned to go back to the human world first, but now that the ring is glowing, he can't go back. The ring is in the immortal realm, and sleeping flower-building wants them to find it, too. Cai asks if he can let go of his hand first, and he says he'll continue to hold it for now. Ana-rene says that she thinks that Miss Xiaoyue will win the upcoming beauty contest. She says that her dance performance was soul-stirring, and she's sure that xin will win as well. She's the "most beautiful woman"
