This chapter opens with Cangzhou's mother sending him to the dungeon to show off her success in wooing Caixuan. Cangxuan is shocked to learn that his mother has sent him there. He tells her that he has been imprisoned for so long that no one knew of it except for him. He asks her when she got married and had a son. She tells him that he is just like his father. She says that he looks like a little child and that his butt is swollen from being used as a bewitching object. He says that if he were to use the same tricks on her again, she would be in pain. He also tells her not to go back to the sect because he is like a cauldron. She asks him why he left her in the dungeon so long. He replies that he spent all his time alone and that he was a martial artist who went to the "heavenly list" one by one. He died once, but survived.
