In this chapter, we learn that Fan Ling has been suffering from a terrible fever. He's bleeding profusely and needs bandages to stop his bleeding. He tells us that he's been transformed into a human and wants to know what's going on between him and the beast. He asks if the beast is happy that he has become a human, and then asks if he'd like to see the beast's face. The beast says that he doesn't want to see his face anymore, but he does want to know why the beast isn't saying anything to him. He also says that the beast still has a lot of work to do before he'll be able to love him like he used to. He says that love in the Netherworld is all about profit and power, and that's why he has cast a spell to lock the beast inside the forging plant. It looks like the primordial spirit has woken up and is with the beast and the forger. The next time someone tries to leave the nether world, they're going to be locked inside the gate.
