Teng Yuan Mei Hong observes General Cheng's unusual behavior as he cultivates mushrooms in an underground cave, a task typically associated with humans rather than youkai. Intrigued, she joins him, hoping to benefit from the mushrooms once they grow. As they work, General Cheng explains the underground river providing moisture for the mushrooms, while Teng Yuan Mei Hong expresses her surprise at their growth.
