In the imperial kitchen, the white tiger tries to get the highness to stay back, but she refuses to do so. He tells her that he's going to try and stall him before he returns, and they're going to eat braised pork. The white tiger says that the braised pork is his favorite food, and that he hates troublesome things. He says that he doesn't like troublesome things because they can revive a pig that's been dead for 800 miles. He's planting bamboos and filling the mountains with greenery in the winter, and he says that his time with humans has been boring, because humans are always alone. He wants to end the cycle of badness, so he stabs a spiritual device into the body of the old man. He apologizes for touching his hands, but he says he'll get the power back when he takes over the body. He promises to kill Jin Yunlie and make her his wife, and then they'll go back to their old lives.
