Summary

The chapter depicts a white-haired maiden, Teng Yuan Mei Hong, who is frustrated and angry, initially unaware of her surroundings. General Cheng helps her by providing a bear fur coat after cleaning her up. As they share a meal of roasted bear meat, General Cheng learns that they are in the Heian period, a time marked by the death of a famous Onmyoji, An Bei Qing Ming, about a hundred years ago. Teng Yuan Mei Hong, who has lost track of time, expresses her disillusionment with humanity and monsters, leading to a discussion about their identities. General Cheng, feeling more like a Tengu than human, constructs a log cabin for shelter. The next day, he encounters a strange monster, which he kills, and they discuss the nature of monsters in this era. Teng Yuan Mei Hong's spirits lift as she engages more with General Cheng, and they both acknowledge their shared sense of aimlessness in this time period. They resolve to live on together, contemplating a future that spans a thousand years.
