The ghost tells the monk that he's waiting for someone. He's been waiting for nine thousand years for someone to come along and love him back. The monk tells him that the demon lord is on his way. The demon lord used to be a member of the merfolk tribe, but was executed because of his "unfriendly weaponry skills" and "vicious nature" . The ghost says that the monk is a low-life, but he'll be able to see the lord through a curtain. He wants to know how the king could allow the ghost to enter his palace. He says that his cultivation is inferior to the king's, and the whole palace seems to be surrounded by a barrier and a celestial power. He wishes to see his lord again, but the king has grown into an emperor, and he can't talk to him. He crawls back to the monk's chamber to find the baby. The baby's crying, so the monk grabs the baby and puts him down on the ground. He cries so hard that he can barely hold the baby, which makes the monk cry even more.
