Truth and dare

The eel demon is on a rampage because XuanYe killed his companion. This is actually a reasonable reaction. The rabbit is all for killing him but the hunter shows mercy. Since he was used as a weapon and not truly malicious on his own XuanYe used moon bugs to consume his primordial spirit and make him a common eel. BanXia tries to hire XuanYe to find out the truth of her father’s supposed death. She brings the mirrors. I was not understanding last episode that it was one from each location her father had used. It seems like they might have served as portals but now function as regular mirrors. He refuses to help her and says she doesn’t have enough money. She sends to get more but doesn’t think money is the real issue. Neither does rabbit🤣 XuanYe reminded him that BanXia was on the hunt right after him and that they needed to keep an eye on her. He also knows the demon won’t approach if they are together. So he now can watch from a distance knowing she will most likely be the next one attacked. BanXia now knows there is an underground city and shows no hesitation to travel there if that’s what it takes to find her father. I think XuanYe is honestly surprised that she would dare to go with or without him. One of the dancers is the recipient of beauty wish. There is another mysterious death of an old woman wearing jewelry of another. The dancers meet at a wishing shrine where BanXia and maid also happen to be. Wishes and gossip is shared. BanXia learns that XuanYe may be the one they talked about when saying he killed his family. She is surprised when he tells her it is true. Knowing what she does about demons she is trying to apply a reasonable explanation on why he might do such a thing. They go out for a meal where she tries to impress ordering one of everything. Music and dancing are on bottom floor when the one dancer with beauty wish spins to the ceiling and then collapses on the floor. Everybody is running to her to find out what is going on.
