Episode 13 recap: Li Mengjue lured the crowd to draw out the snake from its hole.

Luxi'er felt that Pingzhou was too desolate. Li Mengjue told her that there had been a war here ten years ago, and it was rumored to have bad feng shui. As a result, people moved away, and very few remained here. Li Mengjue found it strange that the place was so desolate. As the group entered the village, they noticed a foul odor in the air, which was quite peculiar. Li Mengjue warned Xie Jingshu to be cautious, but Xie Jingshu didn't take it seriously.

As soon as Li Mengjue approached a corpse, he sensed that something was wrong and quickly urged everyone to leave. Luxi'er felt something was amiss on the way, but she didn't inform Li Mengjue about it. When the group reached outside the village, they suddenly discovered that many people were living there. Li Mengjue suddenly noticed that someone had died nearby, seemingly due to the work of a poisonous plant.

Li Mengjue wanted to investigate the situation, but Xie Jingshu thought it wouldn't be feasible for Li Mengjue to go in his male attire. He suggested that Li Mengjue change into women's clothing to gather information. Xie Jingshu informed the nanny that he planned to sell Li Mengjue. The nanny thought that Li Mengjue's appearance was average and not worth much money. Xie Jingshu grew impatient and threatened the nanny with a fan, but he was suddenly surrounded by a group of extravagantly dressed women. For a moment, these men found it difficult to defend themselves.

Xie Jingshu particularly disliked the opposite sex approaching him. Li Mengjue was also shocked by the scene and didn't react immediately.
