Maomao takes part in the village festival of the "Fox Village" with Shisui and Kyou-u, where masks with wishes are burned to bring harvest luck. During the festival, she learns of the village legend: White foxes symbolize western immigrants who brought agricultural knowledge. Through conversations, Maomao recognizes connections between these legends and the "Mother Royal" of the imperial family – both likely descend from the same western ancestors.

In parallel, it is revealed that Suirei conducted experiments with her "resurrection elixir" in the village, using rats as test subjects. When Maomao secretly explores an abandoned warehouse, she discovers a workshop for the production of Feifa firearms – the same weapons used in the assassination attempt on Jinshi. The episode culminates in a confrontation with Shenmei, the mysterious village elder, and the special envoy Ayla, who uncover Maomao's espionage.
