Princess Iron Fan misunderstood Tao Yao and they came to blows, but after a few brothers explained, she finally understood the reason.
The Jade-faced Fox was hidden somewhere neither Ox Demon King nor the brothers disclosed, and no amount of questioning could extract the information. With no other recourse, Princess Iron Fan could only wait at Flower-Fruit Mountain for the Ox Demon King.
Unbeknownst to her, at this time, the Ox Demon King had already stealthily returned to the Cave Moyun at Accumulated Thunder Mountain, and Hu Li accompanied him. Employing a ploy akin to the golden cicada shedding its skin, they reveled in amorous affections within the cave, leaving poor Princess Iron Fan at Flower-Fruit Mountain to await the Ox Demon King in vain!
The Ox Demon King had informants planted at Flower-Fruit Mountain, receiving daily reports, and he planned to return only after Princess Iron Fan had left.
