In this chapter, we learn that humans live only for a short period of time, and that the only person who can last that long is the panda spirit, who lives in the body of a human. The panda spirit is heartbroken at the thought of being separated from his friend, and he begs to be allowed to explain his feelings. He tells us that he was wrong to think that the panda master knew him best, but that he cannot forgive him for taking away his freedom for love. He says that he has the right to decide how he wants to live his life. He wants to know if there is a way to transform him back to a human, or if he has to use ordinary methods to do so. He asks if zhongshan gave him his divine power. This is dangerous, he says, because it transfers the divine power to the panda's body. This divine power-to-transformation method is irreversible, in other words, you cannot transform back into the human. This means that using ordinary methods cannot help you, but perhaps they can solve the problem if theres a chance then. Su ranran asks if he just got married yesterday, and if he's not pulling his leg, is he? He says he is not easily duped, but he feels distressed every time he thinks about it. These are shape shifting charms. You can use them to change into a human for twelve hours, but you won't be able to continuously use them as long as they don't damage your mind or body. But you can still be a panda spirit if you chant the word "change" between your hands.
