Chapters 333-366 Gone Fishin'

333-334 Su Luo trains in her space for a month using the bronze plaque she won from the Liu family. She
finds that the Spirit Dance Steps method suits her well and would allow her to teleport at the final step. She
also trains her Dimensional Imprint, Apothecary and fireballs.
335-336 Nangong Liuyun returns and they flirt.
337-340 NL takes her fishing on his ship and introduces her to his friends, including Beichen Ying, Ln Xun
and n Y Mng.
341-342 BY asks why SL can't accept NL's love since it's hard for him to open up to people due to his deep
dark past. The issue of the Jade Lake's Fairy comes up again.
343-348 NL, SL and their entourage participate in a fishing competition for or Zjng fish which gives
the same boosts as a green-coloured energy stone, but can only be caught on July 15. Market value 5000
gold, but dangerous and hard to catch.
349-351 They run into the crown prince who's bitter since SL is now a third ranked expert and traded up to
NL since they dissolved their engagement.
352-353 Fishing requires people to insert spirit power into the rod and has a high rate of failure. After a hint
from the Divine Dragon (Meng Meng) SL adds Celestial Spring Water to her bait and catches one instantly.
354-356 The Crown Prince mocks her since he has 3 and enters into a bet with SL to see who can catch
more over 3 hours. Reward is 1 green-coloured energy stone for each additional fish they have over their
opponent. Everything is written up and signed in a contract.
357-366 Fishing competition begins. Bystanders comment on SL stealing her sister's fianc. However, they
move on to being shocked as the rare Zjng fish are literally climbing on her rod to be caught. SL manages 3
in 2 minutes and keeps at this rate, while the Crown Prince's face goes dark as he watches. At the end of
the competition SL catches 1,500 fish, while CP has none and owes her 1,500 green crystals. CP wants to
default since he doesn't have that many but NL and BY promise SL theyll help her collect.

Chapters 367-384 Settling the Jade Lake's Fairy Issue

367 At sea Z y gng or Purple Fish Palace appears. Apparently it only emerges every hundred years or so.
368-369 The Jade Lake's Fairy, Li Yao Yao, appears on another boat with her brother Li Ao Tian, a sixth
ranked expert. LYY and NL go into their own world again.
370-372 BY notices that SL feels bitter and interrupts NL and LYY to discuss lighter topics. LYY notices NL's
entourage addressing SL as sister-in-law while SL is still doubtful over her position in NL's heart.
373-375 LAT is shocked NL isn't interested in LYY, while NL finally sets things straight with LYY, telling her
theyll always be close friends but his wife can only be SL and he was only using her to test SL's feelings. LAT
rages, LYY cries then insults SL, so NL slaps her.
376-377 LYY and LAT leave the ship. SL rejects NL like normal but feels closer to him. NL is a little
despondent since he and LYY were childhood friends even if he wasn't romantically interested in her, but
had to cut her off to please SL. They race with LAT's ship towards the Purple Fish Palace.
378-380 The Crown Prince is on LAT and LYY's ship. They've switched camps since NL rejected LYY, and the
CP informs her that SL is no longer a waste.
381-384 LYY invites NL to explore the Purple Fish Temple together but he rejects her. He and SL flirt while
LYY is shocked at the leeway he gives SL, however she refuses to give up on him since his specs and
potential are just too great. BY mentions the Shujng z y or Purple Crystal Fish which resides in the temple
and produces 3 randomly coloured crystals and is the reason people raid the temple.

Chapters 385-403 Hunt for the Purple Crystal Fish

385-387 SL and NL set out to find the Purple Crystal Fish. NL states he isn't interested since it can't compare
to SL but will go treasure hunting with her.
387-388 They follow the little Divine Dragon, who digs out a box filled with Lng Dn Qi (Spirit Bombs) that
are one-use but can kill a seventh ranked expert and worth 50 green crystals. SL plans to use it to defend
against LAT and asks NL if she's allowed to use them on LYY.
389-392 NL and SL enter a tomb with 499 rooms, and follow the dragon into the 123th one where LYY is.
The dragon wants to chase LYY out as he wants the treasure while LYY is still angry since it bit apart her
arrow (in the Sunset Forest). The dragon bites LYY's finger and they fight. LYY is fifth ranked but their fight
ruins her image as she chases a puppy with a sword with an unkempt appearance. SL and NL then hide the
dragon while LYY storms off in anger, leaving the 123th room.
393 They enter the room and see a bowl full of crystals as well as the Purple Crystal Fish, which spits out a
cyan crystal in front of them. NL then tells SL that the crystals the PCF produces are randomized and not all
of them are cyan.
394 The dragon eats the cyan crystal, while SL puts everything into her space. She feels guilty since she's
reaping all the benefits and decides to help find useful treasures for NL.
395-397 They run into the Crown Prince who boasts that he's found the PCF, which leaves them perplexed
since it's in SL's hands. However the CP's is a fake. SL asks how he'll split it with LYY and LAT, sparking their
greed, while he and NL wager 1,500 green crystals over its authenticity (since the CP can instantly repay his
debt while SL wants NL to gain something as well).
398-401 BY mentions that while spitting out crystals is good, the PCF's greatest benefit is that it can lead
people to the hidden library which contains various techniques and texts. The CP then injects his spirit
power into the fish to connect with it but it ignores him, while LAT makes a grab for it. NL's party steps back
as LAT and CP inject their energy and the fish explodes. CP catches on fire and is injured while 3,000 green
crystals in debt.
402-403 Watching NL and SL flirt, LYY asks LAT to kill SL, while SL reveals to the three stooges that she has
the real PCF, which was how they knew it was a fake.

Chapters 404-424 Hidden Library

404-405 The stooges asks how powerful the beast guarding the PCF was, when an eight ranked tiger
appears. They follow the instructions the PCF gives to SL to escape.
406-410 NL and the stooges offer to distract the beast while SL escapes, but as the beast is about to kill BY,
SL chucks the PCF at it, rescuing them. The beast then leaps at SL, who pushes NL out of the way. But
instead of biting her, it licks and slobbers over her, seeming to covet SL's Celestial Spring Water. NL's friends
turn into SL stans.
411-412 Flirting with everyone commenting on NL's straightforward approach to love.
413-416 As the group make their way towards the secret library, they notice the door has a strong seal on
it, and run into LAT, LYY and CP, who are all messed up compared to NL and SL's group since SL's luck and
PCF allowed them to avoid any real danger. Everyone, aside from NL and SL, steps through the door.
417-420 Everyone who stepped through are now trapped in transparent balloons as they reached for items
in the room, which causes the couple to laugh. SL then picks a few texts and items as everyone looks on
with envy, but is limited to 7. She chooses a few books and a mysterious fire stone. 3 books go to NL's
friends (one each). NL doesnt pick anything (probably only SL, as the owner of the PCF can).
421-423 The CP is furious at SL's luck, and NL attacks him, sensing killing intent. However time runs out and
the library begins to shake, causing boulders to fall. NL moves SL out of the way, becoming trapped. SL and
LYY hold on to him, but LYY and NL end up trapped together in the Union Room ( Hhun sh
Joined Happiness Room), where they are forced to get married/consummate in order to get out. The CP
then mocks SL over how 'lucky' NL is while NL's friends reassure SL.
424 The ground trembles, with traps swallowing up most of the characters, leaving only SL and LAT who's
looking at SL with the urge to kill.

Chapters 425-448 Battle with Li Ao Tian

425 SL asks LAT why he isn't worried about LYY, and he reveals that she deliberately trapped them in the
Union Room in order to claim NL. SL is disgusted at LYY and worried since she was now left alone to defend
against the sixth ranked LAT while she is only third ranked.
426-429 SL runs using the SDS, hoping to lead LAT to the tiger she tamed and hides when she can't find it.
LAT follows and freezes SL, threatening to leave her in the middle of the street naked as a frozen statue.
Remembering the mind control technique the Jade Lake has (chapter 100), she doesn't doubt his words. SL
then uses her fire to melt the thin parts of his ice before throwing a bomb towards him. However SL can
only move 2 fingers and fails to escape as she's flung into the sea.
430-431 SL in her ice cube wash out on shore after a storm, and runs into NL.
432-433 SL wants to know how NL escaped the Union Room. He offers to free her from the ice cube if she
agrees to stay with him for 3 months. SL agrees. However it takes him a while to melt LAT's ice despite
being higher ranked and he collapses.
434-435 SL feeds NL CSW, and he falls asleep.
436-438 Waking up, SL asks NL about the Union Room and he jokes that she's asking whether he managed
to protect his virginity. They flirt until SL pushes him away, before realizing he's injured. They spot a cave
and SL offers to explore it.
439-441 SL sets the cave up as a shelter and applies medicine to NL. She then looks for food before realizing
she had moved a portion of her Zjng fish to her space. Nursing him, SL promises not to go out without his
permission.
442-443 NL tells SL there are other ways to leave the Union Room since he's keeping his innocence for his
wife he fought against himself. He avoids questions on what happened to LYY, and SL remembers that his
recurring illness should appear around now, explaining why he's currently so weak.
444-447 SL feels guilty over his state and agrees to feed and bathe him. She mixes Celestial Spring Water
into his bath. There's only one month before she needs to face Su Qing.
448 As SL is pouring out the bathwater, she runs into LAT who's been disfigured by the bomb. NL also
arrives and LAT is worried since he isn't with LYY.

Chapters 449-481 Rematch with Li Ao Tian

449 LAT questions NL over LYY's whereabouts but NL denies knowing. While LAT still wants to attack SL,
he's deterred by NL's presence (even though NL is currently weak) and leaves.
450 SL asks NL why LAT is still alive. Turns out theres a one in a million chance someone can absorb energy
from the Spirit Bomb she threw at LAT, and he is now a seventh ranked expert.
451 LAT reappears after a few days. After spying on their cave he's confirmed that one of them is a space
master since they have supplies on a deserted island, and wants to capture them. He attacks SL when she's
alone. She throws another Spirit Bomb and uses the SDS to flee.
452-457 SL runs into the forest but LAT finds her by scanning it and chases after her, forgetting about NL. SL
runs into a cave and fiddles with the fire stone she took from the secret library. It lets out a 'meow' which
LAT uses to find her and they play tag for a few chapters, with SL hiding herself in a tree.
458 The little Divine Dragon wakes up and is now a fifth ranked expert. He warns SL of LATs approach. SL
feels the gap between her and other martial artists since she started training a decade later than them and
cant catch up even with her gifts.
459-460 LAT catches her, but she manages to delay her death by tempting him with the texts she took from
the hidden library. LAT warns her not to get any funny ideas before tying her up.
461-462 SL has the dragon bite her rope apart, escaping while LAT is cultivating.
463-465 They run into a seventh ranked bear and she tames its cub by offering it CSW. LAT appears and
chases her, so she throws the cub towards him, causing its mother to chase after him, though he uses to
cub to block critical hits. The bear injures him but can only temporarily delay him.
466-468 The dragon reveals he can increase SL's attributes by 10%. Allowing her to dart away and dodge
most of his attacks. The blood she does lose is absorbed by the fire stone she's carrying which turns jadewhite. LAT continues chasing SL until they reach a Fire Valley, which enhances SL's fire element and limits
LAT's ice.
469-472 LAT follows her into the Fire Valley. The dragon spits fireballs at LAT but he ignores it to focus on
SL. However the dragon fire is too potent and he decides to eliminate it first instead.
473-475 LAT uses his second attribute - wood - to create vines and tie up SL, angering the dragon enough to
bite him. SL is dropped and injured from the fall, as LAT uses the vines to catch the dragon, who bites it
apart. SL then falls into the fire and the dragon follows her, delighting LAT.
476-478 NL appears looking for SL and has been promoted to an eight ranked expert. He tells LAT that he
was weakened and would've been an easy target, while LAT taunts back that SL died protecting him.
479-481 NL is filled with remorse and looking for SL when the dragon approaches him and drags him
towards an unconscious SL. She wakes but is severely injured, wanting LAT dead. NL has already killed him
with a kick. He injects spiritual energy into SL.

Chapters 482-502 Leaving the Island

482-484 NL carries her away and she decides she should give him a chance over the 3 months she promised
to stay with him. SL notices the change in her fire stone and NL tells her to keep it since it suits her.
485 The fire stone and a flame technique from the hidden library, Aspect Flames, allowed SL to remain
unharmed when she fell into the fire cave.
486 NL looks for a way out, while SL cultivates Aspect Flames in her space, sitting in the fire cave. The
dragon eats the crystals from the PCF as it lays them.
487-488 SL reaches fourth rank and the middle of fourth ranked within 10 days, allowing the fire stone to
absorb nearby fires.
489-491 NL finds the exit but it requires 1,000 green crystals to open. Unfortunately the dragon consumed
a significant portion. She uses her Zjng fish instead and they climb through. They return to where she first
fought LAT, and she has 2 days before her battle with SQ.
492 They cross the ocean on driftwood blown by NLs wind element. SL is less averse to NL's flirting and
cloying behaviour.
493-496 They run into a ship belonging to the Eastern Sea Dragon gang, where the lecherous crew attempt
to 'invite' SL on board, so NL massacres them.
497-498 They run into NL's ship which the three stooges used to search for them. BY mentions that LAT is
also missing and asks if NL and SL have seen him. NL tells him not to bother. They also tell BY to raid the
Eastern Sea Dragons for their wealth since NL has already eliminated them. Back in the city, people are
commenting on the impending duel between SL and SQ.
499-502 SQ is waiting for SL. Public opinion was initially sympathetic towards SQ, but is now mocking her
for placing herself as NL's equal. SL is late, arriving hand in hand with NL, causing people to react to his
hotness.

Chapters 503-521 Duel with Su Qing

503-504 SL mocks SQ for wanting to play the part of the scorned woman due to her own delusions, but SQ
is now a fifth level expert and twice as strong as SL, so SL runs using the SDS.
505 SQ is distracted by NL's smile, allowing SL to hit her with the Dimensional Imprint, followed by fire balls
before SQ retaliates with her ice attacks and forms an ice armour. However, SQ leaves her neck uncovered,
since she has less battle experience, which SL aims for. She manages to draw blood but it wasn't fatal.
506 SQ is shocked she's losing to the lower ranked SL, and blames her for using the Pretty Boy Distraction
Strategy. SQ's attacks intensify, and SL starts to struggle. However, SL has a lot of experience fighting ice
element users.
507-508 NL wants to intervene, but SL stops him. SQ attacks with killing intent, but SL is able to survive
even her trump card. SL retaliates and the crowd comments on her ruthlessness towards her sister.
509-511 The Su family watch from the crowd with displeased faces, occasionally cheering on SQ. SQ
consumes an Energy Recovery Pill, and renews her attacks. SL retaliates with her improved Dimensional
Handprint which has a void aspect. It explodes on SQ, releasing corrosive poison, damaging her face.
512-518 SQ brings out her spirit pet, which is now a lizard, so SL brings out the Divine Dragon, with the
audience laughing at it since it's still disguised as a puppy. As SQ's flying lizard heads towards SL, it's taken
down by the dragon, which roars, causing the lizard to go insane. The little dragon attacks SQ.
519-520 SQ runs from the dragon, telling SL to withdraw it, while asking the judges for a break laughable
in a duel to the death. The dragon chomps on her leg. Shaking it off, she runs towards the crowd and SL
sends her Dimensional Imprint towards her.
521 Their brother, Su Jingyu, intervenes stating their bond as sisters, however SL retorts that SQ has been
ruthless since the start. As they argue, SQ disappears.

Chapters 522-541 Su Manor

522 SL is the winner, but regretful that she had to showcase the dragon to win, drawing unnecessary
attention to it.
523-526 SL decides to magnanimously let SQ off, inciting the rage of her admirers and teacher. NL stands
and leads SL away. LYY watches on filled with hatred towards SL.
527-529 SL returns to the Su Manor to be raged at by Su Xi and Su Jingyu, as they threaten to kick her out
of the family. Both are no longer a match for her and she defeats them with a whip.
530-533 Su Zian summons SL to reprimand her for beating SX and SJY. However his real purpose is to take
SL's Divine Dragon to appease the Jade Lake's patriarch, the 8th ranked L Yo Xing over LAT's death. SZ
hesitates when SL lies and says it was a gift from NL.
534-537 LYX arrives and interrogates SL over LAT. Her retorts anger LYX and he attempts to force her to
kneel by exerting pressure. SJY and SZ both kneel but SL refuses.
538-539 As SL is about to be forced on her knees, NL arrives. NL and LYX are both eight ranked and, as NL is
determined to protect SL, LYX leaves in anger.
540 NL warns SZ to protect SL when he attempts to suck up. Now SZ is trapped between siding with either
NL or the Jade Lake, and angering the other.
541 SL and NL leave on the Dragon Scaled Horse. They head towards the Eastern Sea Dragons' base where
BY and other grunts are waiting to divide the spoils. The Jade Lake's genius, and LYY and LAT's cousin, L o
Qing, is also there, having joined in the raid while searching for LAT.

Chapters 542-559 Wager with Li Ao Qiong

542 LAQ accuses NL of abandoning LYY, so NL makes an oath that the only person he will ever love is SL.
This infuriates LAQ.
543-545 BY suggests they decide who claims the treasures based on a wager, planning to use SL's luck. A
person from either side will fill a box with source stones they pick out from a large pile. The side with the
higher accuracy and better crystals wins. NL suggests they also wager 1,000 green crystals. SL agrees since
she has the dragon and LAQ agrees since he has an expert source stone gambler with him.
546-549 The competition starts. The person from LAQ's side scrambles through the stones, while SL
remains still, contacting the dragon in her space, then slowly sorts through her pile to fill her box.
550 SL tells BY every stone in her box contains a crystal. She enters another bet with LAQ that at least
90% of her stones will contain crystals.
551 LAQ accepts on the condition that if she loses, she'll never see NL again. SL accepts, causing NL's face to
darken. If SL wins, LYX can't kill her for a year. LAQ accepts since they can kill her after the year is over. NL is
angry, while BY looks disappointed.
552-556 They begin cutting the source stones. SL wins as all her stones contain crystals and of higher
quality than LAQ's (5 green and 4 cyan, while LAQ's lackey had 1 cyan and 3 yellow), winning the Eastern
Sea Dragons bounty. BY is impressed and no longer angry. She cuts the rest of her stones to prove all of
them had crystals, winning the agreement that LYX will leave her alone. LAQ is furious and accuses her of
cheating and she reminds him he also owes her an additional 1,000 green crystals. LAQ storms off.
557-558 NL is still angry since she used him in the bet, telling her that it was heartless of her to even make
such a risk, and that hed never wager her even if his life depended on it. He accuses her of hating him and
is pained that he had to cut ties with Jade Lake for such a callous person. SL asserts that she knew she
would win.
559 NL storms off and SL returns home, feeling sad.

Chapters 560-582 Nangong Liuyun: The Human Doormat

560 BY visits SL at the Su Manor, telling her NL is injured. They leave, while BY asks her how she picked the
source stones, but SL can't reveal the dragon.
561-562 BY mentions he's never seen NL so angry and reckless. He confronts SL on her lukewarm attitude,
since she treats NL's friends so well but is ambivalent towards NL. BY hints at NL's tragic past, and tells her
all his love and warmth are given to SL. And after the wager, he was injured while rampaging in Yn L
(Cloud Path) Mountain.
563-564 SL enters Jin Palace to see an injured and bedridden NL, who tries to chase her out. BY has
everyone leave the two alone.
565-567 NL dismisses SL's attempts to apologize, when she reminds him of his vow in front of LAQ, and how
he can only marry her. She alternates between apologizing and teasing him since she knows she has his
heart and they return to their normal flirting routine, though SL is more accepting of his flirtations.
568 NL hasn't eaten since the day before so SL goes to the kitchen to make chicken congee, adding CSW.
569-570 The kitchen staff are worried since NL is a picky eater, but smelling how fragrant SL's cooking is,
they start worrying over keeping their jobs.
571-572 SL offers the congee to NL who still refuses to eat. She mentions that she made it herself.
573 NL collapses so SL calls for a doctor. The servants secretly assume she was too rough while 'playing'
with him. SL panics and lets slip modern terminology, not noticing that NL is faking.
574 The doctor tells SL that NL's illness is potentially fatal and stimulated by anger so he has to be kept in a
good mood basically give him what he wants.
575-577 NL is guilty about the deception but worried SL will ignore him if she finds out. She offers to stay
the night and hugs him to sleep when he feels cold. However NL can't flirt with her as a sick person so he
invites the physician back to change his diagnosis.
578-581 SL wants to leave since NL has recovered, but he brings her to his residence in the Southern
Mountains, which has a large garden while the air is dense with spiritual energy. Since it's a good place to
train, he gifts it to SL. SL offers to buy it instead, and NL mentions the 50 green crystals she used to heal him
(after the Sunset Mountain trip) are enough. NL gives her the deed, which contains the property as well as
the mountain itself.
582 While strolling, SL runs into Liu Ruohua and Liu Chengfeng.

Chapters 583-599 Su Luo's Origins

583-585 SL, LRH and LCF trade insults. Apparently only people with a death wish enter NL's property. So as
the new owner, SL has the steward come and bow to her. She also takes out the deed and the Liu siblings
are shocked since the Southern Mountains was coveted by everyone as the best training environment but
monopolized by NL.
586-587 SL attempts to evict the Liu family from the mountains when she notices both LRH and LCF's hands
have grown back. The Liu siblings had consumed Apothecarist Leng's Flesh Regrowth Pill (the formula SL
traded so he'd heal NL). Somewhere during the conversation, LRH also lets slip something about SL's birth,
so SL asks NL about it.
588-589 NL tells her about her origins over breakfast:
SZ's favourite Yng Concubine gave birth to a daughter, but it was a difficult birth and the mother fainted,
while the child passed away. As there was an auspicious symbol (phoenix flying overhead), the wet nurse
feared that losing the child would mean losing her life. When she found another baby girl (SL) at the
doorstep, she used her as substitute but couldn't bear to tell the mother when she watched them bond. Due
to SL's potential, SZ initially treated the two well, causing his wife to remove Concubine Yang out of
jealousy, and she died without knowing SL wasn't her biological child. The wet nurse left soon after and
married, letting the secret out to her husband (which is how LRH knew).
Hearing the story, SL only feels relieved that she isn't related to SZ, but NL hasn't been able to find her real
parents yet.
590 They comment on the suspicious circumstances and how convenient SL's arrival was. SL tells NL to
keep her in the loop, even though he wanted to shield her from it.
591 They leave the residence on the DSH, since SL has reached a bottle neck and can't advance to fifth
ranked by cultivating.
592-594 In the town, they see the CP's horses on rampage, so SL has the DSH intervene and the prince's
favourite concubine, Mng Ling, is thrown out of the carriage. Having been in another region, ML only
knows SL as the useless woman the CP discarded and mocks her for it.
595-597 NL appears and protects his future princess, shocking ML. NL ignores her jealousy and has her tell
the CP that he and SL are going to collect their debt from him (the 3,000 green crystals)
598-599 ML dismisses this claim as ridiculous and joyfully recounts the story to the CP. However the CP
begins to panic as he can't come up with the necessary crystals and can't settle the debt with wealth. He
kicks ML aside, and on seeing NL's men outside, beats her again before running away. His servants are
shocked that he can act so ruthlessly to his favourite concubine and that he abandoned them.

Chapters 600-613 Debt Collection

600-601 At the Su Manor, NL is waiting outside and has Ling Feng send SL breakfast. He mentally promises
to spoil her more, and the two make plans to raid the CP's treasury.
602-603 As SL and NL flirt, the CP's manor is in panic as they are unable to repay the debt and the CP has
escaped through a secret passage. ML is the highest ranked after the CP since he hasn't taken a formal wife,
and is disgusted at his behaviour, in fear over NL and still unsure how much the CP actually owes.
604-605 NL arrives, but rages when he can't find the CP. ML arrives to settle the matter, feeling jealous of
NL's affections towards SL, and then shock at the size of the debt.
606-607 ML attempts to negotiate, but NL offers 100 green crystals to whoever finds the CP. The bounty
moves thousands of guards (third ranked and above) to rampage the areas the CP frequents and his various
property, causing those closest to him to hate him since he could stop the rampaging but hid instead. This
also damages the CP's reputation as people gossip about him fleeing to avoid debt, while elevating NL since
even the CP fears him.
608-610 The CP is in the Empress's compound recounting how he came to owe SL and NL. The Empress asks
if he regrets letting SL go, telling him that now it's too late. She then comforts him, saying the debt is only
1,500 green crystals since she doesn't think SL would appear in front of them to demand it. The CP
mentions NL will collect on her behalf since she and NL are intimate, but is talked by the Empress into
believing NL is just playing with her. The Empress also assures him that she can get the Emperor to dismiss
the debt with NL by regarding it as a joke between brothers.
611 A eunuch reports to the CP and Empress about the size of the force NL has mobilized to find him. The
CP faints as his reputation is damaged and all his wealth is pillaged or destroyed.
612 The mobs, including BY, uncover the CP's hidden and disreputable properties - auction houses, brothels
and casinos - before destroying them.
613 The Empress tells the CP to get a hold of himself - as the son of the woman who had NL's mother
beaten to death, the CP shouldn't balk at facing NL. They arrive before the Emperor and recount the past
events. The Emperor already dislikes SL as NL's rejection of LYY has damaged his relationship with the Jade
Lake.

Chapters 614-623 Engagement

614-615 The Emperor tells NL off for making such a mess and ruining the CP's reputation and businesses,
but NL asserts that debts must be repaid and the CP's pride is his own to protect. The CP then accuses SL of
causing the mess, and the Emperor tries to chase her out. NL jokes about taking the throne so SL can
wander around as much as she wants, angering the Emperor.
616-617 The Emperor accuses SL of being shameless, jumping from one son to another. While NL retorts
that it's him who one-sidedly issued an Imperial Edict for marriage then shamelessly took it back. He offers
to settle the CP's damaged businesses by writing off 500 green crystals from the debt but demands the
other 2,500 from his treasury. The Empress tells SL she wants to talk to her private.
618 In the other room, SL and the Empress assess each other, before the Empress mentions that SZ
wouldn't dare to challenge the Crown and that she should let it go. SL projects spiritual energy into her
voice to broadcast this, embarrassing her.
619 The Empress is angered and tells SL she can't rely on NL to protect her. SL ignores this as she was
planning on training her own strength anyway. The Empress then tells SL she can only be NL's concubine at
most, as the Emperor has already arranged for NL to marry LYY.
620 The Empress offers to destroy the engagement if SL rips the IOU, but SL knows she'd attempt to
destroy it regardless, fearing the alliance between NL and the Jade Lake. She threatens the Su Household
but SL is indifferent, before chucking a bowl at SL. SL bats it away, while NL sends it back towards the
Empress.
621 The CP is angered, demanding that the Emperor intervene, while the Empress is in shock. The Emperor
knows he can't control NL, but asks why he attempted to kill the Empress. NL replies its retaliation for
attempting to harm his princess.
622 The Emperor is in shock since he didn't know NL had already decided to marry her and objects. While
SL has already decided to marry NL in her mind, but enjoys being chased and hasn't told him yet, so she
stays silent. The Emperor attempts to strike NL, but is stopped by SL, who states that NL is hers and she'll
protect him from harm.
623 NL is delighted and they engage in PDA. The Emperor objects due to their shamelessness and tells NL
to take her as a concubine instead. NL rejects saying he'll only have a wife and no concubines. SL thinks NL
is perfect for her while the emperor declares in that case NL can never take SL as a wife.

Chapters 624-635 Imperial Treasury

624-625 The Emperor declares NL can't marry SL since he's already been engaged to LYY. NL demands that
he break the engagement, while the Emperor rejects since it will damage the reputation of the Crown. NL
sneers that if he cared about the Crown, the useless CP wouldn't have lived so long. The CP defends
himself, bringing them back to the debt. Since the CP isn't wealthy enough, the Emperor, for the reputation
of the imperial family, agrees to use his treasury to settle the debt instead. NL leads SL there, telling the
Emperor the engagement with LYY was something he agreed to and he should be the one to sort it out.
626-627 NL tells SL not to let this opportunity go since there are many rare treasures. SL takes out the little
dragon, which catches the attention of the treasury guard Nngng Y. The dragon tells SL there are many
valuable items around. NY has been ordered to remove SL by the Emperor so NL is free to marry LYY.
628-632 NY watches through a crystal, and sneers that only a Space element or people who know how to
enter can access the inner chambers, where all the real treasures lie, while everyone who tries ends up
injured. SL uses her space element to enter the room and takes a dagger with the name Yn Hu. She can't
use her space magic to get out, but the dragon is able to bite through the room. SL also takes a manual for
the Wood Attribute and a ninth grade bomb. NY, who's watching on, is furious as even he can't access the
rooms SL went to and also failed to assassinate her.
633-634 NY estimates SL's items: 9th grade spirit bomb (1,000 green crystals), Wood Element Manual (800),
and NL appears, stating that the dagger is 700, with the three items satisfying the 2,500 debt. NL tells her
that he doesn't need his quota and that NY overstated the prices on purpose, while SL realizes he intended
for her to have the 9th grade bomb in order to protect herself.
635 The Emperor is angered that NY wasn't able to remove SL while she was in the treasury, while NY
speculates SL may have the Space Element. The emperor dismisses this as SZ would've broadcasted it if it
were true. He's somewhat regretful he has to kill SL, but LYX, the countrys linchpin, threatened to abandon
his position if the marriage with LYY doesn't take place, leaving them vulnerable to other countries. The
marriage between LYY and NL is announced to the public.

Chapters 636-652 Return of the Jade Lake's Fairy

636-637 SL's serving girl, Lu Luo, is worried LYY will steal NL from SL, but SL is indifferent - if NL is easily
stolen, he's not worth keeping. SL tells LL that the rumour Su Wan mentioned, where she pissed off the
Jade Lake's Fairy, is true but warns her not to find SZ since he's unreliable. SL then tells LL not to worry as
NL is only good to her, but since LYY is there, they'll go and see.
638-639 LYY arrives in town, the public comment on her beauty, and how compatible she is with NL. The SL
and SQ matter comes up, but they dismiss it as only waste hoarders would choose SL over LYY. LL is
indignant since NL clearly likes SL. LYY emerges and is greeted by NL.
640-641 SL is angry, and will make NL pay if he strays. LYY is happy that NL came to greet her and grabs his
hand while gently calling him. NL smiles towards SL in the crowd and bats LYY's hand away, whispering
something which causes her to cry. As he walks away, she hugs his back. When he pushes her away again,
she hugs his waist. The crowd is divided between being sympathetic and thinking how shameless she is to
hug a man in public. NL is indifferent towards this but hopes SL will appear.
642-643 Sensing NL is becoming sympathetic towards LYY, since they're both ignored by the people they
love, SL humours him and makes a dramatic appearance: 'Nangong Liuyun, you dare let her hold you? so
he happily throws LYY off again. The crowd stares, while NL distances himself from the embarrassed LYY, no
longer calling her Yao Yao but by her last name, declaring that his Princess is SL. SL and NL ride away on the
DSH, with SL asking NL how he made LYY cry. NL states he only used one word, but refuses to tell SL.
644-645 At the Su Manor, SZ is furious at SL's behaviour, telling her she's forbidden to marry NL. SL asks if
NL isn't good enough and mentions the benefits he'd reap if she became NL's consort. SZ replies that she
can't compare to LYY and she should settle for the position of his concubine, rather than enrage the
Emperor and Jade Lake. SL retorts if NL and LYY are a perfect couple, SL wouldn't be a concern for them.
646-648 SJY falls ill and can only be cured by an Advanced Apothecarist, but the Su family doesn't have to
right to invite him. SX attempts to tie SL up in order to appease the Jade Lake and request their aid, but is
repelled by the dragon and injured in the process. She screams at SL for ruining the family.
649-652 SL recognizes this as LYY's scheming. She makes her way to Apothecarist Leng's in the middle of
the night to confront him about giving the Flesh Regrowth Pills to the Liu siblings. AL states they were
randomly pulled in from the streets but feels guilty about using SL's formula to treat her enemies, and
offers to remove their hands again. SL mentions the Su Household's request for aid instead. AL is eager to
help since SL always repays what she owes. SL whispers something and AL heads towards the Su Manor.

Chapters 653-670 The Fall of the Su Family

653-654 SZ and Madam Su are tending a bedridden SJY and cursing SL, while SX is kneeling at AL's door.
When SZ despairs that AL would even ignore an Imperial Decree and that his son has a slim chance of
surviving, AL turns up at his door, stating SZ is lucky he has a good daughter and SZ assumes its SX. They
converse while talking about different daughters.
655 SZ introduces AL to his wife, but MS is puzzled AL would actually show up since SX's presence was just
for show. AL prepares SJY's medicine before leaving, telling SZ to personally administer it. SZ leaves MS with
SJY, when Li Yao Chi, LYY's uncle, appears in the room.
656-657 In another residence, LYY, LAQ and LYX are plotting SL's demise, when a servant tells them about
AL's trip to the Su Manor. However, they can't harm AL since he'll become LYY's fellow apprentice (Senior
Brother) if she's accepted as the disciple of the Master Apothecarist Rng Yn.
658-659 MS feeds SJY poison under LYC's orders. Both are working with the Jade Lake to pressure SL into
leaving NL. SZ is shocked SJY's condition has worsened, sending SX to fetch AL since he supposedly has a
favourable impression of her. SX is doubtful AL will respond since they've never met and shocked when he
immediately leaves with her.
660-661 AL informs SZ that SJY has been poisoned. SZ finds it hard to believe due to the short time frame
since the last diagnosis, angering AL. AL states that the poison can only be cured with CSW which LYC
happens to have.
662-663 SZ has SL dragged over and demands she apologize to the Jade Lake and beg them for the CSW. SL
is angered since she isn't even worth a vial of CSW in his eyes. She takes some from her space and gives it
to SZ. AL remarks her CSW is top quality, compared to LYC's low grade one, and SZ greedily questions SL
over it. She hints its from NL, and SZ is irritated at LYC since NL clearly values SL and wouldve brought a lot
of benefits. SL also notices the guilt in MS's eyes when she looks at SJY.
664-667 LYC appears again, this time with LYY, and seeing that MS is unwilling, demands that she either
feeds SJY a fatal poison or one that can be treated. SZ catches MS in the act and summons AL when SJY's
condition worsens. AL states that given his weakened state, the poison is fatal and MS is shocked since she
had chosen the non-fatal one. SZ interrogates MS to find that she acted under LYY's orders and the first few
illnesses were faked. Since he can't retaliate against the Jade Lake, he takes his anger out on her instead.
668 AL storms off, stating that the family is playing him and SZ sends SX to chase after him. Seeing MS lying
on the floor in pain, SL whispers to her that the last visit from LYY was her in disguise.
669-670 Explanation of latest scheme - SL repeatedly had SJY treated so MS would be backed into a corner
by the Jade Lake. While giving SJY an actual poison was suitable retribution for faking his illness in order to
send her off to the Jade Lake. Now the entire Su Family is neutralized. SZ and SX continue kneeling before
AL's compound. Inside AL is serving SL his treasured tea which can help her breakthrough to fifth ranked,
the minimum requirement to move from Elementary Apothecary to later stages.

Chapters 671-682 Return of Li Ao Qiong

671 AL examines SL's pills and is shocked since they're at Intermediate level. He mentions his master Rong
Yun, the continent's only Master Apothecarist, is recruiting an apprentice since AL wasn't talented enough
to inherit his legacy. LYY is an early favourite.
672 Unlike the Emperor, RY has the ability to mobilize forces even NL cant resist, so if LYY wanted to force
the marriage... LYY has a 90% probability of being accepted, while SL currently has none. But now she is
determined to fight for NL. AL agrees to teach her. SZ and SX are still kneeling outside.
673-675 LL tells SL that the public is gossiping about LYY forcing MS to poison SJY. SL heads towards Jin
Palace to confronts NL over his situation NLs promotion was too rapid and his body is now unstable. He
needs to enter closed door cultivation to stabilize but is unwilling to leave SL defenceless. SL reassures him
LYC cant harm her for a year due to her bet with LAQ. She also mentions that AL will recommend her to RY,
who might be able to heal him.
676 NL cant protect her if hes sick so he grudgingly agrees to go after chatting with the Jade Lake and the
Emperor. If SL needs help, she can find BY. NL stares at SL when she sleeps, lamenting he cant take her
with him, before leaving. SL spends two weeks training at the Southern Mountains.
677-678 SL is at the fifth rank bottle neck and about advance when LAQ arrives. SL is worried his disruption
will prevent her from advancing, when BY and Lan Xuan arrive. As they ask LAQ if he can risk offending their
respective families, SL falls, spitting out blood, and begins advancing. LAQ panics if SL is successful, shell
be harder to kill and will soon surpass LYY. While BY and LX are determined to protect her. LAQ believes NL
will return to LYY if SL dies, while BY and LX retort that is SL dies, the Jade Lake will be exterminated.
679 BY and LX fight with LAQ. Within this generation, LAQs strength is only second to NL, theyd normally
have no chance. However, using the techniques from the hidden library SL gave them (417-420), theyre
now on par. LYX also arrives, disregarding the agreement. BY and LX remark on his shamelessness. LYX
states that the agreement concerns the Jade Lake and not outsiders. LX and BY fear the consequences of
failing to protect SL.
680 LYX sneers, approaching SL to finish her off, when Bichn Zhng Lo, BYs third uncle, appears along
with An Ye Ming. BZL warns LYX that if SL is harmed, the Jade Lake will disappear from the continent. LYX
ignores this but is cautious since the Beichen family are merchants and their characters are slippery.
681 10 people in blue cloaks arrive to attack SL. AYM and LX can each block 2, but 6 are left to attack SL. At
the critical moment, the little dragon appears and fends them off, biting off the daggers. The dragon had
been sleeping after eating a lot of energy, but woke as SL was advancing, having reached sixth rank. The
robed men then form a circle, sending a giant fireball towards SL and the dragon. The dragon sends six
small fireballs towards it, as the men ridicule its intellect.
682 The small fireballs engulf the large one, before heading towards the six men. SL successfully advances.
LAQ notices this and sends a lightning attack towards her in the midst of his battle with BY, but its parried
away by SLs Dimensional Imprint. Angered, LAQ breaks a jade token, increasing his attack power, before
sending another lightning attack towards SL.

Chapters 683-693 Master Apothecarist Rong Yun

683 Seeing the token, SL remembers the one the little dragons father left, as well as the 9th grade spirit
bomb from the palace. She hesitates since last time it helped LAT advance, but throws the bomb at BYs
urging.
684-685 LAQ flees upon seeing the spirit bomb, but underestimates the magnitude of the explosion, while
BY shields SL from the blast and is injured in the process. SL feels guilty for ruining BYs pretty boy looks,
when they notice LAQ survived the blast and has been promoted from seventh to ninth ranked expert. LAQ
is now stronger than NL, and turns towards BY and SL.
686-687 SL and BY run as LAQ sends lightning balls after them. They split into different paths to dodge, but
the ball explodes. SL manages to avoid the blast but is injured in the process. LAQ chases her into the
forest, mentally gloating that his advancement was due to SL. Catching up to her, he offers her a dignified
send-off at the hands of a ninth ranked expert since the Jade Lake wouldnt allow a genius like her to
oppose them and live.
688 SL reluctantly takes out the jade token the dragon gave her, lamenting she can never finish learning the
Dimensional Imprint. She attempts to crush it but fails. LAQ strikes SL leaving her barely alive, when the
little dragon wails and bites LAQs leg.
689 As LAQ attempts to kill the dragon, SL warns him not to, telling him its actually a dragon. But LAQ
ignores her. Thinking of NL in her final moments, a group of people riding lizards fly down, headed by a
youthful man.
690 LAQ bows, identifying the man as the Master Apothecarist, Rong Yun. RY strikes LAQ, knocking him
over and creating dents in his body. He also showcases his control over space and continues attacking,
while LAQ is confused how he offended RY.
691-692 He states that killing SL is a matter for the Jade Lake and RY doesnt have the right to interfere. RY
retorts that if he had killed the little dragon, the whole continent wouldve been overturned. LAQ attempts
to sneak away when RY is petting the little dragon. However, RY also has the space element and teleports
towards him, while the dragon darts towards LAQ, absorbing his spiritual energy. RY looks on, telling him
its to compensate for almost strangling the dragon and its a better alternative than dying.
693 In puff of smoke, the dragon reverts to its original form. Its now seventh ranked, while LAQ has been
demoted to fourth. LAQ is shocked at seeing a dragon and is beaten up by it. RY smiles when the dragon
approaches him.

Chapters 694-701 Li Yao Xiangs Delicate Situation

694 BY remarks at SLs luck, to have the indifferent RY intervene. While SL knows that RY only acted for the
dragon. LYX arrives to see the miserable LAQ. RY berates them for almost starting a war with the dragons.
695 LYX tries to negotiate for RY to hand over SL since hes only interested in the dragon. The dragon,
sensing his animosity towards SL, attacks. LYX and the dragon are equal in strength (8th ranked martial artist
and 7th ranked beast). With his speed, the little dragon manages to bite the space between LYXs legs but
cant find anything. LYX tries to pull him off, ripping the fabric in his pants.
696 LYX attempts to cover the area with his hands, earning laughter from the crowd. He calls for SL to take
the dragon away, but she refuses, knowing LYX cant do anything to it. The dragon bites his finger when he
attempts to bat it away, and LYX forgets to cover himself in the pain. The crowd, especially BY, laugh as
they realize hes actually a eunuch.
697-698 LYX goes into a rage, since he and his wife had kept this a secret for several years. NLs stooges
comment on the dragon and try to pet it, but it shrinks back in SLs arms. They notice RY left after knowing
LYX wouldnt harm the dragon, and SL is glad he didnt take the dragon from her.
699 LAQ and LYX head back, while hiding their shame, but thanks to the Beichen gossip machine, everyone
between 3 and 80 knows that LYX has nothing to hide and speculate over LAQs birth. The Jade Lake
urges the Emperor to send an Imperial decree but it has little effect.
700 BY continues spreading rumours surrounding the Jade Lake including LAQs paternity, but it eventually
gets buried by gossip of RYs arrival and speculation over LYY as a potential disciple. SZ receives a letter
from LYC to have SL struck from the family records. He hesitates and decides to see how the situation
between LYY and RY plays out.
701 At the palace, LYY and the Emperor greet RY. When LYY pours tea for RY, the Emperor sees this as a
sign that RY has implicitly agreed to be her master, and doubts NLs boast that SLs potential will eclipse
LYYs in the future.

Chapters 702-711 Competition for Rong Yuns Disciple

702-703 RY has yet to decide and word spreads that RY is looking to accept an apprentice. AL speeds
towards the Su Manor to tell SL. Seeing AL, SZ greets him enthusiastically since SJY and MS require
treatment, sending for SX. But AL is angered with SXs presence as he came to see SL.
704-705 AL tells SZ off, while SZ and SX are angry at SL for not mentioning her relationship with AL. AL tells
SZ to send for SL and SZ that SL is skilled enough to contend with LYY. As AL briefs SL on RY, SZ angrily slaps
SX for misleading him since he cant touch SL due to ALs protection.
706 SX is shocked over being slapped and runs out feeling wronged. While SL rides off on the DSH that NL
had left with her. At the palace, RY is being served by LYY, while 7 other Apothecarist stand in front of him,
having their elixirs accessed. Seeing RY is unimpressed, the Emperor is even more certain of LYYs skills.
707 RY remarks that Dong Lings Apothecarists are even worse than Western Jins. AL and SL arrive in the
throne room. RY looks fondly at the dragon in SLs arms while LYY retorts that the deadline for registering
has already closed. She cries when AL reprimands her, angering him more due to her innocent act.
708 RY intervenes, telling off AL for his temper, hinting that hes tacitly decided on LYY. LYC and the
Emperor are happy, while AL, who already dislikes LYY, continues to recommend SL. RY stares at the dragon
before agreeing, and LYY is bitter since although SLs refining skills are inferior, her luck is unmatched.
709 Courtiers gossip on recent events involving SL. They and the Emperor feel that she cant compare to
LYY. The Emperor promised NL before he left that he wouldnt kill her, but is still determined to wed him to
LYY. RY scans SL and reveals that she is only a Primary Apothecarist. The crowd feels ALs recommendation
is an insult, while LYY is certain of her victory.
710 The crowd is about to congratulate LYY, when RY presents SL and LYY with a list of items and 10 days to
retrieve them. LYY angrily remarks on how SL mustve curried favour with AL for him to recommend a
Primary Apothecarist. SL remarks that shell win regardless and LYY is angered and cautious since shes lost
so many times to SL before.
711 The Emperor is shocked SL is a finalist, since even Intermediate and Advanced Apothecarists were
rejected, and decides to delay pursuing the marriage between LYY and NL until the RYs disciple is finalized.
At the Su Manor, SZ wonders how much SL is hiding from him.

Chapters 712-720 Gathering Crystals

712 Insulted SL directly went to her own yard without greeting him, SZ wants to talk this over with
someone, but most of his family is missing, dead or incapacitated. He realizes the fall of his family began
when SL woke up. In her own yard, SL finds RYs task is to collect one of each coloured crystal (7 total): Red,
Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple. SL has the first six due to the PCF but is missing a purple. She
asks BY for help, but they notice its impossible to make a return trip to his home within 10 days, but just
enough for the Jade Lake. Showing that despite the competition, RY has practically acknowledged LYY.
713 SL remarks RY is smart enough to see LYYs true nature but still decided to side with her. SL watches the
PCF for 10 days but it fails to produce a purple crystal. At the throne room, LAQ, LYY, LYC and LYX are
smirking since this round relies on connections and LYY is the Jade Lakes treasure, while SL is an
unfavoured daughter of a concubine and the Su Manor made no effort to search in the past few days.
714-715 SL is late and is waiting for the latest offering from the PCF. As RY is about to end the competition,
the dragon leaps from SLs side to swallow LYYs crystals. When the dragon returns to SL, LYX notices that
the blue and purple crystals are missing and yells at the dragon. But seeing RY comfort it, they can only
endure. However LYY is still bitter since the dragon had also prevented her from gaining the PCF.
716-717 When RY coaxes the crystals from the dragon, he can only retrieve the blue one and prevents LYX
from forcing the other from the dragon. He then offers the rest of LYYs crystals to the dragon which
happily eats it before returning to SL.
718 LYY asks about the results, and RY remarks that itll count as all 7. SL is worried since the PCF spat out a
red crystal, while BY still hasnt returned from his trip. However, the little dragon sneaks LYYs purple crystal
into her hand the one that everyone assumed he ate.
719-720 SL sneers that since LYY did everything to prevent her from obtaining a purple crystal, shell gladly
accept hers. Calmly presenting all 7, the audience is shocked that even a concubine born daughter can find
such a treasure. The Emperor is glad he hasnt set NLs marriage yet, while the Jade Lake accuses SL of
stealing LYYs crystal, with LYX insisting on having the dragon regurgitate as proof. RY blocks him, stating
that if they find it unfair, they were free to leave. RY cuddles the dragon, announcing the next event will
take place in 10 days.

Chapters 721-730 Cramming

721 SL sees a messy BY, telling him he missed a good show. He had used LX and AYM as decoys but was
obstructed from entering the palace on time. At the Su Manor, SZ is excited at the results and determined
to improve their father-daughter relationship, when he receives a letter stating that SL isnt his daughter.
722-724 Since SL can contend with LYY, he cant easily disown her, so SZ angrily smashes things in his study
instead. The three stooges arrive in SLs room with 3 bags of books before fleeing, leaving her speechless.
They had gotten AL drunk enough to let slip that the next hurdle was a theoretical exam, testing
Apothecary knowledge. The dragon comforts her with the purple crystal to place in her space, making time
pass 10 times slower. This gives her 100 days worth of time. She laughs due to how much LYYs crystal had
helped her. Despite the added time, SLs foundation is too low to comprehend and she decides to
memorize the content instead.
725 At the palace, everyone is waiting but SL still hasnt arrived. AL is anxious, while the rest assume SL had
fled as her level was too low to contend with the Advanced level LYY. Hearing remarks from the Jade Lake,
AL mocks LYY since she couldnt win over her in the first round and is forcing SL to quit out of fear.
726-727 SL arrives, still sleeping, on a palanquin carried by the three stooges who are trying to wake her.
They had found her asleep amongst a pile of books. RY breaks the palanquin, waking SL. Confronted with
stares after waking, she hurries to greet the Emperor and RY (former reacts with disdain while the latter is
indifferent to her messy state). RY gives her 15 minutes to tidy up before they sit the exam. The questions
range from Primary to Advanced level.
728-729 LYY is confident SL will fail, while LAQ mocks her, before being beaten up by BY, having difficulties
adjusting to his own weakened state. SL looks confused, before remembering her spirit can enter her space
and access the books. LYY finds some of the questions difficult and is even more certain of SLs failure.
730 Finishing the exam, LYY finds RY looking at SL with interest, asking her if shes tired rushing around
(having recognized her cheating), which is different from his usual indifferent state. RY checks the exam
papers while the room is split into 3 SLs faction, LYYs and neutral. SLs faction has little confidence and
comfort her. The results are announced and both achieved full marks.

Chapters 731-738 Demonic Cave 1

731 Everyone reacts in shock that SL, known as a good-for-nothing, tied with LYY. Especially AL since the 3
stooges had raided his books to give to SL, and she had crammed them all in 10 days when it took him 10
years; as well as the 3 stooges themselves.
732 RY looks at LYY before announcing the next trial will take place in M or Demonic Cave (;
also M Gu). The Demonic Cave contains the ruins of an ancient civilization which requires
strength and a key to open. Used by large families to train, LYC has both keys and a detailed map. BY
comforts SL over RYs attitude, thinking SL is clearly better than LYY. However SL observes that RY is hard to
predict, since his actions didnt indicate a preference (didnt out SL for cheating but still treats LYY better).
733 AYM notes this test is also partial to LYY but SL feels differently. At the Jade Lake, LYX gives LYY the map
while she broods over tying with SL someone she sees as clearly below her. LYX notes that of his brothers
3 children, LAT is missing, LAQ is now a waste and LYYs marriage is obstructed by SL. LYY plans to reveal the
murky origins of SLs birth and have her fall from a concubine-born daughter of a general to a nobody.
734 Su Manor LYX drops by daily to pressure SZ into disowning SL, but he refuses since she could
potentially be RYs disciple. 10 days arrive and a crowd is waiting outside the Demonic Cave. RY informs SL
and LYY their quest is to find the Fire Source Stones ( or Hu Yun Sh) that have been marked with
his spiritual imprint and placed in the cave.
735 Hearing this, LYY is glad since she has memorized the map, while SL is also happy since she can rely on
the dragon. However LYY attempts to have the dragon banned from entering, causing RYs eyes to flash
coldly. SL notices he only appears content with LYY. SL remarks that the dragon is her spirit pet and would
be depressed when separated from her. RY allows her to bring it.
736 SL rushes in using her SDS, while LYY also charges in to prevent SL from following her. The Demonic
Cave contains demon soldiers 4th ranked and above and soldier kings 5th-6th ranked (Bng Wng ), led
by leaders 7th ranked and above. These soldiers are part of why the cave is so disreputable as long as one
soldier survives, the rest will respawn. SL makes her way in the dark to avoid alerting them, following LYY as
she uses her key to enter the temple. SL encounters demonic soldiers only for the dragon to eat them.
737-738 SL remarks on how the dragon can level up while eating, when it falls asleep. She places it in her
space, feeling vulnerable. SL runs into LYY and they declare their mutual hate for each other. LYY has
already found 2 FSS, while SL has none. LYY holds back from attacking as she has already trapped SL by
leading two demonic infantries towards SL, both led by 5th ranked Soldier Kings. They chase after SL.

Chapters 739-747 Demonic Cave 2

739 SL remembers BYs warning that demonic soldiers like to swarm, and that shes been leaving
footprints as LYY had led her to step into CSW, which attracts soldiers. SL sneers, since CSW is something
she doesnt lack, and leads the now 5 groups towards LYY as shes digging her third FSS. SL then throws a
basin of top grade CSW on LYY not only is the quality different, LYY is completely soaked.
740 The five soldier kings are 5th and 6th ranked, while LYY is 6th. Four of them hold her while the smartest
of the five proceeds to lick her. Panicked, LYY sends out bursts of energy to repel them, however demonic
soldiers only react on instinct and their attraction to the CSW.
741-743 LYY continues to fend off the soldiers, as more gather towards her. Too busy fighting for her life to
hate SL, she tears off her CSW-soaked skirt and runs. Approaching a door, she opens it, only to have
another bucket of CSW dumped on her. This causes the demonic soldiers to renew their interest in her, and
also attracted a 7th ranked demonic leader who tears her clothes off, leaving only her undergarments. Out
of rage and humiliation, she attacks, causing the soldiers to chase after her again.
743 SL sneers since shes taken her revenge, and also since LYY is distracting all the soldiers for her. The
dragon wakes in her space but hasnt risen in rank, while she notices LYYs half-dug fire stone in the ground.
Using the dragon, she finds another, before following LYY into a maze.
744 The road breaks into 6 paths, and SL continually selects the middle ones as the dragon cant seem to
sense anything. She runs into LYY, whos currently digging a FSS, and notices that she currently has a dress
on, despite having been stripped. SL also mentions LYY trapping NL in the Union Room.
745 LYY remembers the various retorts NL made to push her away, but still refuses to let him go. LYY sends
fire vines towards SL, nullifying her fire attacks. Having not trained her wood element, she can only rely on
her Dimensional Imprint. However LYY is able to tie SL up in the vines, remarking that shes unworthy of NL.
746-747 As LYY thinks of hacking SL to death, SL remembers the Yan Hua dagger (from the Imperial
Treasury chapter 630ish) and slices the vines apart like tofu. LYY pulls out her own sword and attacks, but
SL blocks with her Dimensional Imprint. LYY continues to gathering her energy and attacking, resolving to
send SL to her death. LYY then sends a black object towards SLs head. SL releases the dragon, who shreds it
into powder and flies towards LYY.

Chapters 748-755 Demonic Cave 3

748-749 LYY is sent towards a wall, coughing up blood. SL places her dagger against her throat. LYY warns
her of LYCs retaliation, but both know LYC will kill SL regardless. Angered, LYY throws a Spirit Bomb
towards SL and flees to a safe distance. SL thinks of the irony, having used them on the Jade Lake twice,
before being engulfed in the explosion. LYY leaves the cave with her 3 FSS since her competitor died.
However SL was saved as her fire stone (hidden library) had absorbed the impact, though injured by the
falling debris. SL notes that LYY used a 9th grade Spirit Bomb despite knowing that the dragon was with her.
750 SL laments how when she uses a Spirit Bomb, her opponents level up, whereas she almost died when
one is used on her. Outside the Demonic Cave, RY, the Emperor and LYX are waiting for them. LYX had
given LYY the Spirit Bomb and fears SL may end up levelling up instead of dying.
751-752 LYY arrives wearing a veil, with the 3 stooges feeling uneasy. BY mentions that LYY simply arrived
first, while LYY retorts not everyone can emerge. BY threatens LYY, only letting go when RY intervenes. LYY
mocks BY over whether hes concerned over SL because of NL or his own feelings. Since SL is dead, she
laments not being able to see it play out. LYY then gleefully informs him of SLs demise, earning a slap.
753 BY races to the Demonic Cave and RY questions LYY. LYY tearfully recalls how SL had offended the
demonic leader while trying to steal LYYs FSS and was incinerated by his attack. The two remaining
stooges voice their disbelief, causing LYY to swear on her life that what she recounted was true.
754 Based on LYYs calculating nature, this can only mean at the very least, SL is dead. AYM and LX think
fearfully of NLs retribution. RYs eyes also flash coldly. The public is sympathetic, recounting SLs meteoric
rise, and sudden death. LYY offers her FSS to RY, who delays accepting until the deadline in 5 days. LYY is
angered RY seems to favour SL more and concerned he seems to know her plots against SL.
755 Reassured by LYX, LYY also cheers up LAQ, promising to have RY help recover. LAQ laments not seeing
SLs death himself and remembers to chase after the matter with SZ. In the Su Manor, SZ is shocked over
SLs death. Thinking of the state of his family, his anger is directed at SL and is determined to disown her.

Chapters 756-767 Demonic Cave 4

756-757 The emperor feels conflicted. Despite not liking SL, he knew how much NL valued her and wants to
offer words of comfort to SZ. Instead SZ reveals that SL wasnt his daughter and has LRH confirm this. The
Emperor asks for the wet nurse and her husband, only for LRH to disclose that they went missing after she
told NL. Showing that NL had already known and didnt care about SLs paternity. The Emperor feels
anxious over NLs reaction to SLs death, but comforts himself as NL is free to marry LYY. SZ heads home,
publically removing SLs name from the genealogy records. However, the public is sympathetic towards SL,
and criticize SZs opportunistic nature. LYY is also furious over speculation of her involvement in SLs death.
758 At the palace, LYY presents her FSS to RY. As hes about to declare her victory, a voice tells them to
wait. During this time, SLs quick thinking had allowed her to protect herself from fatal injuries, but was
buried in rubble. Climbing out, she was then lost in the maze until she ran into BY.
759-760 BY hugs SL out of relief, informing her LYY had spread rumours of her death. SL retorts LYY does
believe SL is dead. SL then recounts LYYs experience with the CSW and demonic soldiers, before telling BY
how LYY had thrown a 9th grade Spirit Bomb at her. BY notes that shes failed to advance despite surviving.
They wander through the maze while looking for FSS, when a rock falls on them, trapping them in a room.
761-762 Both SLs Yan Hua dagger and dragon fail to break them out, and BY reminds her that if she misses
the deadline, LYY will automatically win. SL hears a voice calling out Fool, but only she can hear it. There is
a child trapped in the fire stone she had gotten from the hidden library. It had reacted to NLs strong
presence, but since the stone has absorbed her blood, it has no choice but to recognize her as its master.
763 The fire brat then tells SL to create an opening using her space magic. SL then states that she will take
BY out, offering him food and water from her space, before informing him she is a Space mage. BY is
shocked at her gifts and luck. SL and BY then train, with SL receiving instructions from the fire brat on
overlapping and combining strips of space.
764 Due to her space, SL trained to the equivalent of 50 days, determined to make a dramatic entrance at
the most critical time. SL regards BY as a brother, and offers him as much CSW as he wants, while BY is also
determined to do his best to protect her.
765-767 Back to the wait (chapter 758) the person who said it is not Su Luo, but Yn Xi Fairy, a woman
who looks around 20 with a reputation for being ruthless and raising killers. YX greets RY, with bystanders
commenting on her unrequited love for him. She tells LYY to give up her position as RYs disciple, which she
refuses. YX then reminds RY of his promise to her.

Chapters 768-778 Allocating Disciples

768 RY had once slain YXs disciple and promised his own in return, so YX wants LYY. RY consents but LYY
and LYX continue to protest. RY dismisses them while they cant oppose YX.
769-770 LYY is shocked over how easily RY handed her over to YX, wondering if he had calculated this.
Meanwhile SL and BY start heading back. SL tells BY to hold on to her while she breaks them out, and he
blushes. They make their way with little obstruction. During this time BY had trained from the start of 7th
ranked to the peak, and is now stronger than LX and AYM. SL remembers she hasnt been able to get more
FSS from the Demonic Cave, but the entrance is now sealed.
771 One by one, people notice SL and stare. SL then mocks LYY before revealing she was at the receiving
end of a 9th grade spirit bomb, confirming LYYs involvement in her disappearance. LYY asks how many FSS
she has, which she replies 2.
772 LYY was relying on SL winning so she can be given to YX. YX feels uneasy since RY appears to be keeping
his distance from SL. RY refuses YXs request for both SL and LYY, and to trade LYY for SL.
773-774 YX tears off LYYs veil when she continues to protest, showing off the scratch marks the dragon
had made on her face. The crowd remarks on how unfortunate it is, since the scars are deep and hard to
heal. RY tells YX to take care of her disciple, throwing YX an elixir for the scars. LYY has no choice but to
follow her. RY then distances himself from LYY, telling her YX is her master now. As LYY prepares to leave,
AYM reminds her of her vow if her tale of SLs death is false, she would commit suicide.
775 LYY pales, causing YX to look down on her. YX slaps LYY, thinking that RY has bad judgement and how
shed discard LYY if she hadnt just stolen her. She then intervenes, so SL generously lets LYY off, knowing
that her actions would infuriate YX and that shed take it out on LYY. RY intervenes when LYY challenges SL,
stating that while its unfortunate, both of them were at similar levels. SL then bows to be received as a
disciple. RY informs her that her senior brother (AL) will receive her in 3 days, before fleeing.
777 SZ is in the crowd with a dark face. NLs allies proceed to mock him, while the crowd notes that SLs
status is now higher than his. BY trips SZ but no one assists him up. The emperor is secretly glad he didnt
push the marriage with LYY or hed be worse off than SZ.
778 SL tells SZ she knew they werent related and wouldve separated from him herself if he hadnt saved
her the effort. SL reveals to the 3 stooges that shes concerned over LL but NL had asked them to take care
of it. The next day SL visits AL and he hurries her since RY lives in Misty Cloud Peak ( Yn W Fng),
which takes 3 days. She speeds off on the DSH.
Su Family Status
SZ Su Zian (SLs father; laughing stock for disowning SL)
MS Madam Su (SZs main wife; bedridden)
SJY Su Jingyu (Oldest brother; bedridden)
SQ Su Qing (2nd sister; missing an arm and missing in general)
SW Su Wan (3rd sister; raped, killed and fed to beasts)
SX Su Xi (5th sister; ran away from home)

Chapters 779-790 Probationary Period

779-780 SL and AL make their way up Misty Cloud Peak, facing slippery slopes, high altitude and the cold.
Since its a difficult journey, usually only RY and two attendants reside there. They arrive to find RY in a bad
mood. SL greets him, only to be told he hasnt accepted her yet due to her low qualifications. He gives her a
3 month probationary period, during which he can chase her out at any time. SL asks AL if RY is bipolar.
781-782 RY gives SL a thick book of herbs and 3 days to memorize the contents. RYs attendants are Zi Y
() and Zi Rn (), twin children who are effectively outer disciples. SLs rooms are close to RYs and
she spends the 3 days studying (30 days for her). RY arrives and has SL recite the contents, and again
backwards. SL does so despite not being able to cheat, and RY and the attendants are shocked.
783 RY reminisces about a stunning woman who was also given 3 days to memorize and recite the same
texts (to save an unknown man) and his eyes become gentle. SL wakes to find RY in her room. He tells her
not to be too proud since shes not the only one who can achieve this, and gives her half a month to
advance to Intermediate Apothecarist.
784-785 SL is mentored by ZR, an Advanced Apothecarist, who helps her identify intermediate level herbs.
However SL has her own system, which she can do while blindfolded. She sorts them based on their
emotions something only Advanced Apothecarists and above can do and had taken ZR 10 years to learn.
ZR is impressed and sees why RY can pass up LYY but not SL to YZ.
786-787 ZR then has SL practice the flames used for refining. SL uses the dragons flams and ZR is shocked
since this is also Advanced level, telling her theres no need to practice. ZR then has SL pick out a medicinal
cauldron, only to have her remove Zi Huos cauldron from her space (chapter 96 the Grand Master
Apothecarist whose pill recipes SL has). ZR is once again shocked at SLs talents, space element, cauldron
etc. and RYs foresight.
788 ZR rushes to inform RY, who already knew. As he leaves, RY smiles. ZR tells SL to use ZHs cauldron
since only RYs can compare in quality. Over the next month, ZR advises SL on her refining technique the
only thing lacking in her line-up. In one and a half months, SL becomes an Intermediate Apothecarist
comparable to Advanced and ZR has nothing left to teach her.
789-790 SL enters RYs study and finds a painting of an unrivalled beauty hanging on his wall. RY catches
her, and stops SL as shes about to retreat. He has SL kneel in front of the painting, alternating between
staring at the two. After a few hours, SL yawns and wants to leave but RY has her stay. SL asks if she is his
wife (mistress of the household). RYs face becomes complicated.

Chapters 791-802 Rematch with Li Yao Xiang

791 SL is shocked when RY says no, since RYs qualifications are too good to pass up. RY refuses to tell SL
who the woman is, but reveals that he has no wife. He is surprised when SL recites a line from a poem, but
she doesnt know where she heard it from. SL asks RY about her real parents.
792 SL feels that with RYs controlled nature, he should already know, however he refuses to tell her. SL
speculates about her origins, casting her parents in a negative light (pirates, bandits, illegitimate). When
she comes to her mothers side, RY erupts with anger, showing while hes indifferent to her father, he has
deep feeling for her mother. RY calms down and tells SL her mother was the most beautiful woman.
793-794 SL is about to ask whether its the woman in the portrait when RY tells her to drop it, hinting he
had intervened in NLs investigations. 6 months pass and SL has almost broken through to Advanced
Apothecarist, while the quality of her pills is at least Advanced level. However, RY is dissatisfied with her
lack of combat experience and gives her a year to gather 3 Languishing Red Beans ( Xing S
Rn Hng Du Love-Sick Dyed Red Beans) from the Dark Forests. The forest is filled with beasts to train
her and the LRB will help her promote to Advanced Apothecarist. ZRs twin, Zi Yu, goes with her.
795 ZR asks RY if hes worried about SL but RY hints that this is a test set by a Goddess for SL. If she cant
pass this, she wouldnt be able to shoulder the continent. Meanwhile, SL and ZY have been running towards
the Dark Forests for 3 days. Sensing danger, SL dodges thunderbolts, to find ZY missing. Instead she
encounters LYX, LYYs 8th ranked uncle.
796-798 LYX attacks SL, but she blocks with her space magic, creating a void. LYX is shocked she blocked,
despite the differences in their strength. Attacking again, LYX is determined to kill her before RY finds out.
However, this merely causes SL to fall in a comical position. In reality, it causes her internal injuries. SL
continues receiving LYXs hits until she falls against a tree. SL threatens LYX with a Spirit Bomb, causing him
to hesitate. She runs when LYX jumps away, only for him to realize she had used a pebble to trick him. LYX
continues chasing SL, until he runs into ZY.
799-800 LYX is intimidated by ZYs deadly aura but refuses to back down. LYX fights with ZY, dodging his
very efficient and lethal moves. ZY falls to the ground while LYX falls against a tree, in a similar state to SL.
ZY tells SL to finish off LYX. SL refuses since shes injured and LYX is still stronger, so ZY rips LYXs arm off
with two fingers before leaving. LYX resumes attacking SL. SL dodges but LYX is still 8th ranked.
801-802 SL sneaks towards LYX, holding a dagger to his neck. LYX attacks, fending her off, and continues to
dodge her but has nowhere to run. Seeing him struggle, SL reveals that the dagger was a distraction and
that hes been pulled into her space where she has full control, and uses her space magic to fatally wound
him. Due to their mutual hate, she sneers and tells him her involvement with LATs death so he cant even
die in peace. ZY and SL then burn his body, with ZY telling SL not to leave a carcass when she kills. They
proceed to the Dark Forest, located at the centre of the four countries: Dong Ling in the East, Xi Jin in the
West, Nan Feng in the South and Bei Mo in the North.

Chapters 803-810 The Dark Forest

803-804 The Dark Forest is filled with beasts and trees so tall that even sunlight cant enter. ZY tells SL that
once hes helped her 3 times the quest will be considered a failure. The situation with LYX counts as the
first. SL makes her way in the damp forest, heading South-East towards the LRB, when a swarm of 2nd and
3rd ranked Golden Crowned Snakes attack and ZY disappears. SL has no problem killing them individually,
but the sheer number overwhelms her. However, SL has accumulated a lot of Energy Recovery Pills. She
directly attacks their head, using the fire she had the little dragon spit into the Fire Stone.
805-807 The King of these snakes is 4th ranked, on par with 5th ranked martial artists. SL uses her void and
Yan Hua dagger to block and slash it. The snake king charges towards her, only to flee past and SL chases it
through the forest, before getting close enough to use her Dimensional Imprint to remove its tail. She
finishes it off with her fireballs. Beasts ranked 4th level and above would leave crystals corresponding to
their level i.e. red for 4th, yellow for 6th and purple for 10th, and SL finds a Red Crystal near the snakes head.
She also notices a well-dressed corpse behind a tree and fears her path may be a treacherous one, but ZY
tells her to continue along the original route. At night SL is glad shes a space mage and pulling out enough
items to fill a house, while she cooks the snake king in a soup.
808 Continuing on, she finds 2 corpses which have been torn apart by a beast which is still lingering in the
area, and a girl whos barely survived. SL is about to move on, when ZY tells her to save the girl since she
came from Purgatory City ( Lin Y Chng) one of the 10 major forces.
809-810 SL carries the girl and dresses her wounds, giving her ALs Flesh Regrowth Pill and other medicine.
SL continues to practice merging strips of space, until the girl wakes up. The girl is shocked a 5th ranked
expert was able to rescue her and that her wounds recovered so quickly. The girl is slightly arrogant but
wont forget the favour. She then leaves. ZY tells SL shes Purgatory Citys Holy Maiden (Shng G ),
the 7th ranked Z Yn (; ZiY). SL continues her original path and ends up lost. She questions the map but
since it provided the RY, she can only accept.

Chapters 811-820 Alliance with Zi Yan

811 Lost, SL follows the sound of fighting and encounters ZiY again, fighting a man dressed in familiar black
clothes. ZiY is on the weaker side, when she puts away her sword, throwing a ball of light. The black clothed
man retaliates with a Dimensional Imprint, shocking SL.
812 The two attacks collide, sending ZiY flying. SL is impressed with her strong eyes and saves her with her
void armour. ZiY doesnt like her meddling, but SL tells her she has yet to repay her. The man in black is a
lackey of the Jade Lake, sent to retrieve the CSW producing cup ZiY had stolen. SL wonders how the lackey
would know the Dimensional Imprint technique, while she and ZiY team up.
813 SL uses her fireballs to distract the man, allowing ZiY to sneak an attack with her sword. It cuts him but
isnt fatal, so he attempts to attack SL. The man finds that hes slowing down with each attack, as SL
manipulates gravity, and uses a dagger to cut his major artery.
814 SL laughs when the man calls out for LYX, telling him shes already sorted him. She then follows ZYs
advice, destroying the evidence by burning the man alive. She and ZiY heal their wounds, with ZiY
discovering SL is an Apothecarist. ZiY then mentions since SL has her own grudges, her actions werent to
save ZiY but out of vengeance towards the Jade Lake.
815 ZiY follows SL out of the forest, but SL is also lost. Laughing, they seem to have become friends. ZiY
then offers herself as a guide, folding paper crane to determine their position. ZiY is curious about SL since
her speed and fighting strength are above 5th rank, while SL is glad to finally make a female friend.
816-817 SL takes Advanced ERPs to keep up, and ZiY suspects shes from a strong Apothecary family. SL
wishes to teleport. Hearing this, the fire brat in her Fire Stone appears, taking the form of a 7 year old. He
tells SL to call him uncle, before revealing his name D Sh Tin (), once the strongest person in the
continent. He tells her that she would naturally be able to after fusing space magic with SDS. However her
version is only the preliminary version. The true version is with the royal family of Western Jin, the Ou Yng
clan (). Catching up to ZiY, SL unpacks her items and ZiY believes she owns a space storage item.
818-820 Space storage items had reappeared on the continent over the past year, but cost a fortune at
auctions. This further proves ZiYs rich girl speculations. ZiY pulls out the Jade Lakes CSW producing cup,
drinking it and promising SL a cup. When she wakes, she finds it in the arms of the little dragon. SL coaxes
the dragon while ZiY is shocked SLs spiritual pet is a dragon. Since the dragon refuses to give up the cup, SL
reminds ZiY of her promise to give her a cup.

Chapters 821-831 Competing for Languishing Red Beans

821-822 ZiY tells SL she reminds her of her 3rd brother, and SL gives her a cup of her own CSW to
compensate. ZiY is shocked at the superior quality and accepts the trade. In her space, the dragon and DST
fight over the cup. The dragon then pees on the fire stone DST is trapped in.
823 SL examines the cup, uncertain why its so attractive to him. The dragon throws the cup, breaking it
and SL discovers a Secluded Necropolis of the Gods map piece (chapter 44) in the fragments and is
delighted since this is the real treasure. She now has 2 of 4 pieces needed to access SNG.
824 ZiY wakes SL, warning her not to be so unguarded. She unhappily tells SL that theyre heading towards
Lu Y Din ( Falling Feather Temple) territory. One of the 10 major families and an ally of the Jade
Lake one of their daughters married in as LYYs aunt.
825 They speed up and ZiY is surprised SL can keep up, finding her even more mysterious. ZiYs paper crane
wears out and they now need to rely on SLs navigational skills. SL has no sense of direction but is
comforted since ZY is lurking around and she can always rely on the dragon.
826 The dragon becomes excited and runs ahead. SL and ZiY follow and is led to five variation (mutated)
LRB, which are even more valuable. The dragon and ZiY try to pick them, only to be injured by the tree.
827-828 Two people from the Luo Yu family arrive, also for the variation LRB. The man Lu Ho Chn (
), is about to breakthrough to Advanced Apothecarist and finds it hard to accept that SL became RYs
disciple. While his sister, Lu Di Y (), has a grudge against ZiY since childhood.
829-830 As SL is only 5th ranked, they dismiss her as ZiYs attendant. ZiY and LHC argue over the variation
LRB. Attempting to negotiate, both sides want 3 of the 5 LRB, so they decide to compete and see who can
pick it first. LDY takes out her Gold-Silver Silk Gloves (), spun by Golden Silkworms that only
feed on Crystals, green coloured and above. They can block 8th ranked attacks and ZiY laments how suitable
they would be for SLs Dimensional Imprint. LDY dodges the LRB trees attacks, only for the dragon to dart
out, bite her finger and kick her away. LDY is sent flying towards a lake, where a crocodile chomps her butt.
831 LHC is about to rescue LDY, when the LRB tree uproots itself, running away as though on 4 legs. Seeing
ZiY and SL chase after it, he forsakes LDY and follows, sending 2 grunts to rescue her instead. LHC also
notices that LDY no longer has the GSSG, and is surprised that SL can match his and ZiYs speed.

Chapters 832-840 Silverback Gorilla 1

832-833 As they come across more forks in the forest, ZiY directs LHC to a shortcut, which he ignores.
Meanwhile, the little dragon is still hanging on despite the trees attempts to bat it away. Spitting out the
stolen GSSG from its mouth, the dragon wears it like a shirt, protecting it when the frustrated tree lands a
hit. The tree runs into a cave, not knowing that that the dragon is still clinging on and that his bond with SL
also lets her track them. SL arrives to find that the dragon had caused the LRB tree to wilt for bullying it.
834-835 The dragon hands SL a GSSG glove with 2 LRB and is reluctant the hand over the rest, causing ZiY
to laugh. SL stops the LRB tree from sneaking away, giving it two choices: to be burnt or become her spirit
plant. It reluctantly agrees, thinking of the shame of serving a mere 5th ranked expert. SL transports it into
her space, and the tree is delighted in its new environment. SL takes it out again, and it begs her to return,
immediately agreeing to a contract before being transported back to her space. Watching on, ZiY realizes SL
is an Apothecarist due to her fireballs and now plant contract.
836-837 ZiY is shocked since plant contracts usually only work when raised from a seedling but SL managed
to have a thousand-year tree beg for a contract. They notice the forest is quiet and that the only sound is
from a mutated Silver Back Gorilla ( Jngng Yun Wng) thats at least 8th ranked. SL and ZiY try
to head back before it notices them, running into LHC and LDY. LHC blocks them, loudly demanding the
LRB. SL tells them about the gorilla, only for LHC to dismiss it. He makes a bet if there is one, hell kill it. If
there isnt shell hand over the LRB. Wanting to leave, SL agrees but is forced to stay until the bet is settled.
838-839 LHC laughs since the cave is empty, until LDY screams, waking the gorilla. LHC is worried since he
can deal with a normal gorilla, but not a mutated silverback. The gorilla attacks. LHC grabs LDY and barely
manages to dodge. The gorilla continues attacking LDY since it was her sharp voice that woke it up. Even SL
and ZiY are scared. The Luo Yu family goons guarding the siblings are ripped to pieces, giving them time to
run with the siblings at the front, followed by SL and ZiY, then the gorilla.
840 LHC takes out a bottle of Advanced ERP, giving one to LDY. Hearing LDY mock them over it, SL takes out
two bottles, giving one to ZiY. ZiY laughs since they can now endure longer, and gives LDY one to show the
pills are also superior. LDY cries out, but LHC is still discontent with LDY for waking the gorilla. The gorilla
suddenly emerges, throwing boulders. SL blocks one aimed at ZiY with her void armour, and since LDY cant
see it, she gleefully assumes theyve died.

Chapters 841-848 Silverback Gorilla 2

841 LDY forgets to shield her face and is scarred by the falling debris. Her cries make LHC even more
irritated. When LHC notices that ZiY and SL havent died, he gets closer to them, wanting to take advantage
of their shield. However, they end up being more vulnerable since SLs armour can only protect 2.
842-843 The gorillas fist strikes and kills one of the Luo family guards. They continue running until they see
a waterfall, but they have to jump across a crevice to reach it. LHC reaches first and attacks SL to push her
towards the gorilla, but it has no impact since shes in her void. SL kicks him aside, grabs ZiY and, throwing a
chain to the other side, they both swing over the gap. Seeing this, the gorilla is even angrier and attacks
LHC. LDY pulls him away in time and they cross the gap using her vines. LHC then threatens SL over the kick.
844 SL and ZiY mock LDYs injured face, causing her to cry. LHC tells her hell get her one of ALs Flesh
Regrowth Pills. However, SL knows that hes stopped making them out of guilt since regrowing LRH and
LCFs hands. The four make their way through the forest, only for the gorilla to reappear. LDY screams
again, alerting it. SL and ZiY run off, but the gorilla is only interested in LDY. LHC cant abandon her so he
grabs her, chasing after SL and ZiY, intending to take them down with him.
845 LDY pulls out a small bag containing a 9th grade Spirit Bomb and gives it to LHC. He hesitates over
whether to throw it at SL and ZiY or the gorilla, before deciding on the latter. The explosion rips the
surrounding environment, injuring the four, but the gorilla survives showing that its above 9th ranked and
furious. LHC throws another Spirit Bomb this time 10th ranked.
846 The surrounding area is destroyed. SL is concerned where LHC got the second Spirit Bomb from, only to
have the angry gorilla emerge half crippled but even stronger now 10th ranked.
847 The gorilla sends another palm towards the Luo siblings, when a 60-something year old man appears,
rescuing them. ZiY explains that hes their grandfather, Lu Shng Tin () who was probably
summoned by LHCs Lifeline Stone ( Qi Ji Sh Rescue Stone), which activates when hes in mortal
danger. LST stares coldly at SL and ZiY, before entering a life-or-death struggle with the gorilla.
848 They watch on until the little dragon jumps out, running towards them with interest. LST and the gorilla
exchange blows, when the gorillas fist dents a mountain, revealing an inscription proclaiming it as the
grave site of C Nng (). Its rumoured that his grave contains a SNG map piece which is trading at 10
Purple Crystals at Purgatory City, only no ones ever claimed it.

Chapters 849-857 Benefits of Having Good Connections

849 SL is surprised SZ never exchanged his piece, but less so after knowing his rank is too low to even hear
the offer. LST has finished the fight, and is comforting his grandchildren when they notice the little dragon
flying back with Luo Yi Grass ( Lu Y Co). Not only is it rare, LDY is named after it. Seeing SL and the
dragon, LHC is angry. He and the dragon attack each other.
850 LST intervenes, taking the items, causing SL to sneer that an elder would bully juniors. LDY states the
treasures were on their property, and that their Spirit Bomb and LST had rescued them, despite being the
one who provoked the gorilla. ZiY reminds her about her damaged face while SL swears AL will never
provide her with a FRP.
851 SL reveals her ties with AL and RY. LHC and LDY sneer out of disbelief. LST is interested in the dragon
and the treasures itd bring. He tries to force her to hand it over with spiritual pressure. SL can withstand up
to 7th ranked, but is at her limit, when ZiY reminds them that SL has ties with RY someone the Luo family
cant afford to offend.
852 ZiY also claims to be a disciple of Purgatory City, but the Luo family dismisses both claims, examining
the items the little dragon had gathered. This includes a Triangle Reflector ( Sn Jio Lng Jng)
which can pick up the shadows of any thief, a Boundless Divine Bow ( Cng Mng Shn Gng) an
unrivalled long-ranged weapon, the Luo Yi Grass an Advanced Apothecary ingredient and a 10th grade
Spirit Bomb which would replace the one they just wasted. LST is convinced the mountain is filled with
treasures. SL calls them thieves but doesnt use her void armour out of fear LST could sense it.
853 As LST continues pressuring SL, the patriarch of the Beichen family and BYs grandfather, Bichn Ln
() arrives. Since there is animosity between the Beichen and Luo family, and hearing SL is RYs
disciple, he removes the force holding SL down. BL also insults LST in BYs style for his shamelessness, while
ZiY reassures SL, despite his quirks, hed never steal from a younger generation. BL offers to fight LST,
causing LST to hesitate. RY then arrives.
854-856 The Luo family are in shock, while RY asks SL if her task is complete. SL has found the LRB but is
facing LSTs opposition. RY smiles darkly at LST, asking if he wants a fight. BL laughs at LST for daring to pick
a fight with RY. LHC angrily throws down the items. RY pinches him, causing him to demote from the peak
of 6th ranked to 1st ranked. LST is humiliated at having his grandson become a waste in front of him.
857 LST threatens to turn SL into a waste but RY will bury the Luo Yu family in retaliation. BL is shocked that
the usually indifferent RY would fiercely protect SL. This, and BYs affectionate tone in describing SL in his
letters, causes him to be intrigued. SL also has a good impression of BL. BL then smooths the situation
over by telling LST its to be expected when picking on RYs disciple.

Chapters 858-868 Tomb Raiding

858-859 BL greets a newly arrived L Xio Fng () with an insult. LXF is from the Jade Lake and has
also arrived for the inscriptions. The three elders (RY, BL and LXF) read the inscription, when a force shoots
out from it towards LDY. Dodging, she accidentally pulls on the weakened LHC, causing him to receive the
hit. Looking coldly at SL, LXF has all the younger generation leave. LDY rudely tells ZiY the inscription has
nothing to do with her, so ZiY tells her off for using her brother as a shield, whereas LHC had always
guarded her during the gorilla attack.
860-862 The mountain shakes, causing boulders to fall. SL takes ZiY into her void, while LDY once again uses
LHC as a shield having grown used to his protection. LHC ends up half buried with a crushed leg, and
furious. LDY goes searching for people to pull him out and is frightened since SL and ZiY are no longer in
sight. A herd of Strong Fire Rhinos charge towards her. LDY runs but they soon catch up. As shes about to
be trampled, she manages to climb onto a rhinos back, only to have a boulder head towards her while
celebrating. SL remarks that if they work together they still have a chance of surviving, otherwise A divine
light appears in the sky, and ZiY remarks that Ci Ning hasnt died. As CN guards the SNG, hes even more
useful than the map. Seeing the elders chase after him, SL and ZiY head towards the now deserted tomb.
863 The dragon charges forward, followed by SL and ZiY but the path is covered in the blood and bones of
beasts. Sensing danger, they press on as none of them want to give up the treasures that lie ahead. They
enter an empty hall, but SL is confident that if there is any treasure, the dragon will be able to find it.
864-866 The dragon jumps towards ZiY, delighting her, only to dig at the ground below her. SL picks up the
slab of rock that was part of the floor, telling ZiY that its actually a source stone with something sealed
inside, and uses her Yan Hua dagger to cut out a chubby and ditsy little blue elf. Both are shocked that the
rock would contain a living creature, when the little dragon attacks it. ZiY takes the elf into her arms and SL
speculates that its an Elemental Elf ( Yun S Jng Lng) which can give its master an infinite
supply of energy something SL doesnt need but is beneficial for ZiY who doesnt have a mountain of
ERPs. The elf bites her finger and quickly runs off.
867-868 SL and ZiY chase it, when they notice YX holding the little dragon by its tail. SL tells ZiY to go ahead,
before asking YX to let the dragon go. Each of YXs retorts are barbed and hostile. SL tells her RY left to
chase CN, but YX came for SL. SL is unwilling to go with her, and is hit with YXs full force. At this time, ZiY is
chasing the elf as it attempts to eat dirt and grass. She takes it to find fruit, and takes out more paper
cranes to send a message to her 3rd brother, not knowing that YX had kidnapped SL.

Chapters 869-878 Su Luo in Captivity

869 In a cave located in the north, NL receives ZiYs message. ZiY had been curious over what type of girl
would catch his eye, so he had her watch over SL. While she wasnt his strongest ally, hes more
comfortable leaving SL with a girl. Hes satisfied that SL is safe, but regrets not being able to protect her
himself due to his unstable state, but also to allow her to grow. He continues practicing to return to her
faster. Meanwhile YX has taken SL to an unknown place.
870 SL leaves a trail of grass and rice, only for YX catch her. She stares at SL, unwilling to believe that a cold
and proud woman couldve borne her. YX tells SL RY will be chasing CN for months and that she had set
up the tomb as a trap. SL asks if she minds causing RY to hate her, but YX states itll just be another reason.
871-872 YX tells SL that RY wont find out if she leaves no evidence. SL tries to bargain to save ZiYs life,
offering to tell YX anything but is too weak to be of interest. SL is vexed over being so weak. YX pretends
otherwise, but is concerned since Purgatory Citys position is unique. YX leaves SL with LYY. SL wakes in a
dungeon with her body bruised and sore from being beaten by LYY. LYY gloats on the other side.
873-874 LYY tells SL that shes imprisoned at the bottom of Rng () Lake, and that ZiY has been taken
care of. SL grabs LYY, angering her since LYY is 6th ranked. SL shoots a sleeve arrow towards her, and LYY
admits ZiY is still alive before falling to the floor. SL tells LYY shell kill her if ZiY dies. LYY retreats to a safe
distance, causing SL to mock her. LYY is confident SL cant break out of prison, while SL flicks her sleeve,
using the mutated LRB trees vines to attack LYY.
875-876 LYY manages to cut some vines, but is thrown towards SLs cage and hung up by the vines, shocked
SL managed to find such a strong spirit plant over a short timeframe. SL mocks LYY as the LRB tree slams
her against the cage despite her pleas. SL takes the plant back into her space. A seething LYY asks why SL
always opposes her, but she had started it. LYY then threatens SL.
877-878 YX appears as they argue. A maid follows, holding a strange smelling ink that SL finds repulsive. LYY
complains over SLs mistreatment of her, only for YX to slap and beat LYY, before reprimanding her, a 6th
ranked expert, for losing to RYs 5th ranked disciple. Seeing her angry, SL knows why RY prefers to keep his
distance. LYY obediently covers her mouth when YX scolds her. SL assumes her apprenticeship has been a
bitter one and is grateful towards RY. YX removes the cage, and has LYY paint SLs face with the ink.

Chapters 879-889 Yan Xias Compound

879 The ink is to reveal SLs true face. SL is confused, but YX is convinced over her background after hearing
from LYY how RY rigged the exams to make LYY stand out and allowed YX to snatch her, while secretly
hiding SL to take as his real disciple. LYY also disclosed that SLs parentage is unknown, and YX recalls how
RY refused to give SL to her.
880-881 LYY approaches SL with a brushed dipped in ink, when the little dragon leaps out, kicking LYY
towards a wall. YX traps the dragon in a ball of light. YX paints SLs face black with ink, telling her that if she
takes the antidote within 3 days itll reveal her true face, but if she isnt wearing a disguise or doesnt take
it, her face will remain black for life. YX doesnt know SL has almost broken through to Advanced
Apothecarist and can refine the medicine herself, and that she stores ingredients in her space. Meanwhile
the little dragon is anxious over separating from SL, but YX laughs, taking it away.
882 LYY stays behind to guard SL. SL uses her LRB vines to break LYYs wrist. The next 2 days, the recovered
LYY denies SL food and water, while eating delicacies in front of her, wanting SL to beg at her feet. However
SL snacks on food and CSW from her space as LYY sleeps.
883 LYY tries to tempt SL with diluted CSW, before erupting in anger due to lack of response. SL recalls
LYYs first appearance as an otherworldly fairy, and how she now resembles YX. Since SL has the variation
LRB, she can become an Advanced Apocatherist, with peak Advanced level strength. She successfully
refines her cure, grateful the dragon had given her the Luo Yi Grass the most valuable ingredient.
884 SL uses a sleeping drug on LYY. She then uses her space magic and walks out of the cage. Holding a
knife to LYYs neck, shes tempted to slash it but restrains herself when she assassinates LYY, shell do so
without a trace. Through their mental link, SL hears the dragon crying, telling her YX is currently cultivating
in the centre of the complex.
885 SL sneaks around the large and mostly empty compound. Running into a maid, she sends her
Dimensional Imprint before stabbing her in the chest. The maid retaliates, throwing a dagger at SL, only to
have it stopped. SL slashes the maids throat, killing her.
886 SL sneaks into YXs chamber, posing as a maid. The dragon becomes excited but YX keeps her eyes
closed. SL feels tense, but YX is certain SL cant break out of her cage something that will hold even 9th
ranked experts.
887-888 SL takes the ball of light with the dragon in it. YX, thinking its the maid, and tells her to store SLs
antidote away, before falling asleep. SL takes this chance to empty out the medicine cabinet, taking rare
treasures and 2 Spirit Bombs. SL makes her way out without alerting YX. Trying to escape the compound,
she ends up walking in circles. SL tries forming her own ball of light to break out, sending it towards a wall,
only for it to rebound noisily, waking YX.
889 SL heads back to her cage. YX arrives, furious that her medical cabinet filled with valuables is missing.
She interrogates LYY, who denies seeing anything unusual, and checks over SL. She has LYY take SL to the
refining room.

Chapters 890-900 Escape 1

890 YX throws SL into a boiling pot, telling her itll remove the ink after she dies. YX then tells her the
reason for this a woman named Yan Hua. SL is surprised since this is also her daggers name, and tells her
RY likes the woman in the portrait in his study, infuriating YX since RYs still infatuated.
891 YX closes the lid on SL. SL endures for a while due to her flame element, but soon her face starts
blistering. SL remembers her Fire Stone which had saved her on the island (chapter 475) and is greeted by
DST. The temperature in the pot then decreases to lukewarm.
892 SL takes out the three LRB and other ingredients used to help advance. She begins refining, adding in
more items until all 9 herbs and 3 LRB are in the cauldron. SL manipulates her fire for 3 days within her
space (1hr in the real world), until the pill is formed.
893 YX opens the cauldron to find SL alive with ink still on her face. Not knowing SL has the cure, she tries
to scare her into taking the medicine, telling her the time is almost up. The stone is back in her space and
DST jokes that with her current face, shed train more.
894-895 SL continues stewing in the pot, suffering since she cant take out her Fire Stone. She notices shes
finally about to break through to 6th ranked and begins cultivating. However, the dragon in her space senses
her pain and starts rolling itself around in the ball of light. When the ball touches the Fire Stone, it explodes,
leaving a slightly charred dragon. Under DSTs directions, it retrieves the Seven Nights Red Shawl Grass (
Hng Sh Q Y Co) from YXs medical cabinet and throws it outside her space to save her.
896 SL swallows the whole plant which regulates her temperature, while purifying and revitalizing her. YX
tells LYY to watch over SL and report any changes, worried that SL would take advantage of LYYs stupidity.
LYY takes out a bottle of corrosives shes refined.
897-898 The dragon hands SL a Nine Days Sea-Blue Snow Lotus ( Ji Tin B Hi Xu Lin),
causing the ink on her face to fall away and reveal a face that shocks the dragon and DST. However SL is
busy promoting to 6th ranked and doesnt notice. LYY senses the changes in SLs power level but is blown
away as SL emerges with her ethereal appearance. LYY uses vines to hold SL, calling to YX. However SL
grabs LYYs corrosives and throws it at her, damaging her face and arms, before sending fireballs to destroy
the room, leaving before YX arrives. YX is furious and angrily asks LYY about SLs face.
899-900 YXs vicious expression causes LYY to faint. YX slaps her awake and LYY tells her SLs face is
different. YX chases after SL, sending balls of light towards her. SL blocks with her void armour and takes
out 2 Spirits Bomb that YX recognizes as from her medicine cabinet. YX falls back when SL throws one at her
and uses the other to break the barrier around the compound, and the lakes water begins pouring in. SL
makes her way through the water, not decreasing in speed due to her space magic, and YX sends people
after but they fail to catch her. SL emerges in a river which borders Western Jin and Dong Ling.

Chapters 901-910 Escape 2

901-902 SL swims from Rong Lake to the surface of the Cold River ( Lng Jing), feeling exhausted. She
sees merchant ships, but hesitates boarding since YX will probably find her. Swimming until nightfall, she
sees YXs maids searching ships, killing those that resist. Staying hidden, SL touches her face and notices its
changes. Aside from a black eye on her right, her face is even more impressive than LYYs.
903 YX arrives on a ship and SL goes deeper into hiding, fearing YX would sense her energy. SL starts
swimming to the other side of the river. Running into one of YXs men, she instantly kills him before
throwing his corpse into her space and wearing his clothes.
904 During her swim, the people she runs into take no notice of her due to her clothes. Using her spiritual
energy to scan ahead, she notices the area in front of her is unguarded. However DST warns her not to go
there. SL throws a fish towards the area and it explodes. YX had set up underwater mines ( Shu
D Tin Li Zhn) over a radius of 50 Li. 2 men appear to search, but cant see that its SL in the dark, so
she quickly swims away.
905 One of the two men senses something off and they chase after her. Theyre about to attack when the
dragon bites one in the throat and the LRB tree strangles the other. However this action alerts the other
guards so SL throws them both into her space and swims away.
906-907 SL reprimands her pets as their priority is to escape. DST tells SL YX is setting off her underwater
mines since she can now pinpoint her. Under DSTs directions, SL summons her energy, charging towards a
whirlpool with her void armour, and throws DSTs Fire Stone, as he uses all his energy to break her out. YX
arrives at the mine field, only to find that SL has escaped.
908 SL flees west where the defence is weaker. She imitates one of the guards, attempting to redirect
them. When it fails, she attacks with her Dimensional Imprint, taking them out and steals a uniform. SL
makes her way to the mountains, shocked that YX can mobilize such a large force.
909-910 Hiding amongst YXs men, SL wonders why LYY didnt provide them with an accurate description,
not knowing that LYY wasnt given the opportunity to, since YX had stormed off (chapter 899). A
subordinate questions the absurdity of looking for an unknown girl, speculating that SL might be disguised
as one of them. The captain orders them to remove their masks. SL was standing at the back and tries to
sneak away, running when the captain orders her back. The team of 20 chase her 10 5th ranked, 9 6th
ranked, led by a 7th ranked captain but their chase doesnt encourage other teams to join them. SL hides
within the jungle, using her LRB tree to kill off the slowest member that was lagging behind.

Chapters 911-923 Escape 3

911-912 Of the remaining 19, another is killed off, 8 join the captain at the front of the search party, with 9
weaker members lingering behind. SL attacks individual members of the captains team, while using her
spirit pets for groups of 2-3 as they stray. By the time the captain realizes, only 2 remain. Panicked, he lights
a flare for them to gather, only for SL to appear. SL attacks the 6th ranked member, swiping her Yan Hua
dagger at his neck while blocking his attacks with her void armour, before finishing him off with her
Dimensional Imprint. The little dragon fights the captain, chomping on his waist, followed by his neck. The 9
weaker members arrive and are shocked at the scene.
913 Fearing the noise will draw attention, SL pulls out all her trump cards until only 5 6th ranked experts
remain. SL lures them with fireballs, slashing one across the throat, while the LRB tree slams 2 to their
deaths and the little dragon bites a 4th to death. One remains, but the dragon and tree gang up on him.
However the commotion draws YX to the scene.
914-916 SL runs deeper into the forest, chased by a flying YX and her thousands of minions. SL looks on as a
captain discusses their search, only for the little dragon to pee on him. The captain calls for backup, with
mixed feelings over being peed on and finding SL. A dozen people leap onto SLs tree, only for the little
dragon to kick them down, leaving a dent in their heads. The men uproot the tree, and SL regrets having
using YXs Spirit Bombs earlier (chapter 899), when the little dragon throws the Fire Stone containing DST,
setting the men on fire as they come in contact with it. The dragon flies around with DST, chasing the men,
only to flee when it senses YX.
917-918 YX is infuriated since SL sent her grunts running, and kills them. SL heads towards a cliff and is
trapped by YX. Seeing SLs face, she recalls Yan Hua, and her inferiority complex due to YHs training speed,
the various men protecting her, and how she cant catch up to RYs strength even now. SL mocks her, but
when YX sees her black eye, she bursts out laughing since shes prettier than SLs current state. SL reminds
her of RYs retaliation but YX has covered her tracks.
919 YX grabs SL, seeing her edge towards the cliff, crushing her bones in the process. SL, thinking shes
about to die, reflects on her weakness despite all her talents and thinks of NL. The little dragon appears,
and exposes DST and his flame attack. Injured, YX instinctively lets go of SL, dropping her off the cliff. The
dragon and DST follow.
920-922 YX had wanted to keep SL alive to avenge her injuries from the Spirit Bomb (chapter 899) and
sends her men in after her. SL continues swimming until she runs into a luxury cruise ship and is seen by u
Yng Y Ln (), a favoured Princess in Western Jin. OY has her maid retrieve SLs body, telling her
to save her if shes beautiful but throw her back if she isnt. The maid, seeing SL, is delighted that its an
otherworldly, breathtaking beauty. She also notices that shes speckless despite washing up from a river,
and carries her on-board. OY is delighted at SLs appearance and sends for a doctor.
923 SL wakes up to see OY looking at her, having not been able to approach due to her barrier. OY
arrogantly tells her she saved SL so she has to repay her by staying as her palace maid for 3 months. SL
surmises that shes Western Jins little princess and agrees since she has a use for her.

Chapters 924-933 Yun Qi 1: Return of the Backstabber

924 SL finally sees her current face its similar to her previous appearance but tweaked as though she was
a 7 who became a perfect 10. OY pretends to cut off a mans finger, offering to feed it to SL. SL states that
shell eat what OY commands, hinting she knows that its a piece of radish covered in blood from OYs
steak. OY throws a tantrum over SLs subservient tone.
925 OY asks SL for her name. Thinking YX is still after her, she borrows a character from NLs name, calling
herself Yn Lu ( Landing/Falling Clouds). OY objects since its a pair with her 3rd brother, Yn Q (
Rising Clouds), before thinking theyd be well suited. SL twitches and inquires after him. Despite being it
inappropriate, OY feels familiarity with SL and tells her YQ used to be sour and miserable, but suddenly
brightened up, and trains at an incredible speed.
926-927 SL suspects YQ (chapter 1) may have also crossed over. A few days later, they land and are greeted
by YQ. OY introduces them since their names match. Seeing SL, his heart flashes with pain and familiarity.
SL is also in pain and is clenching her fists due to her suspicions, despite the face being different. OY pops
up, joking about being their matchmaker, shocking people around them since SL is a lowly maid. She claims
only she can find YQ a wife, and secretly thinks SL is well suited. OY grabs SLs hands, noticing her unnatural
state and has YQ, an Apothecarist, check over SL. SL shocks everyone by commanding that he lets go.
928 SL apologizes, when YQ calls her Miss Su. Thinking its a test, SL doesnt react, and offers to change her
name if he thinks it shouldnt match with his. YQ states that if she can change it so easily, Yun Luo shouldnt
be her real name. SL retorts that its up to him, when OY drags YQ away.
929-930 OY has YQ and SL travel with her, before suggesting that they camp outside. OY takes SL out to
hunt, asking her if she fears YQ. SL denies being afraid. OY who SL notices is at least 5th ranked despite
being 10 excitedly picks mushrooms, while SL throws away the poisonous ones. OY reveals she was born
with spiritual power whereas most activate theirs at 5 and SL and YQ could only use theirs recently.
However, YQ is now one of the strongest on the continent and she hints to SL hes still available. Since SL
has NL, she doesnt want YQ regardless, and tells OY shes engaged.
931 Seeing OY protest, SL doesnt know what shes done to deserve her affections and OY tells her YQ once
asked her the same thing. SL picks up horse-radish, and OY mentions sashimi. Returning to YQ, OY tells him
SL picked up the horse-radish so theyre going to eat sashimi. YQ cooks and SL remembers how her ex used
to be as good as a 5-star chef.
932 SL endures OY and YQs attentions, since getting the true Spirit Dance Steps (chapter 817) is more
important. SL recognizes YQs knife skills. When OY asks what to do with the rest of the fish, they both
answer soup. OY jokes about them being a match and YQ hints hes not adverse to it.
933 YQ smiles gently at SL, while OY tells her shes lucky since only OY has eaten YQs food before. SL
objects to eating with them since shes just a maid. YQ asks OY if shed object to him loving SL; OY is
shocked hes so open about it. SL has no choice but to join them, feeling that its 60% possible he is her ex,
but since she cant figure it out, she may as well focus on the SDS.

Chapters 934-943 Yun Qi 2

934 SL calmly eats sashimi under YQs scrutiny, before dismissing herself. Onlookers are shocked at her
audacity and the lack of reaction from YQ and OY. Sitting alone in the carriage, SL is 70% certain its him and
remembers her past. Taken in by the organization as a child, she was often starved during her brutal
training. Attempting to eat bark, she meets a young YQ who fed her a steamed bun each day. Of her batch
of 50 children, only she survived. She falls asleep while recalling her last moments. SL is woken by OY, who
treats her more like a playmate than a maid.
935-936 OY presents SL with a garland of lavender coloured Ice Flowers ( Bng Shung Hu), a
medicinal herb that grows on mountain tops and can attract fireflies which YQ prepared for her. While
chasing OY, YQ appears, grabbing her arm. SL tells him to let go, but he refuses, addressing her as Su Luo.
YQ reminds her he can alert the people looking for SL to confirm. SL has no choice but to stay. YQ mentions
that while the moon seems impossible, astronauts have already reached it, proving hes YQ from her past.
He apologizes, but SL storms off.
937 YQ tells her the safest place to hide is near him. SL rages, telling him not to call her so familiarly, and
should refer to her by last name, before leaving, but YQ is just glad shes returned to him. In the carriage,
OY smirks at an angry SL, cheering on her brother since its an uphill battle. SL rages over his betrayal, but is
determined to stay for her SDS and to get her revenge.
938-939 OY reassures SL she wont just hand her to YQ. YQ appears, giving OY steamed buns he personally
picked up in the city which OY gleefully tells SL after she emerges from training. SL isnt impressed hes
trying to write over his betrayal by digging up past memories and throws the bun out of the carriage. SL
continues training, using her space where time is now 100:1 with the outside world. YQ looks despondent
over the thrown bun and OL is even more determined to set them up. The Western Jin Emperor personally
greets OY at the palace and YQ tells her OYs birth was an omen that miraculously cured his terminal illness.
940-941 OY shows SL off to the Emperor, whos shocked since her face seems familiar. Leading them into
the courtroom, he tolerates SLs questions about recent events, when his favourite concubine, L Gu Fi (
Li + Highest Concubine Rank) asks for SL as a serving girl, feeling threatened by her beauty. OY protests as
SL is her friend. The Emperor sides with OY. Concubine Li then suggests he give SL to YQ as a concubine
since hes the only one without a harem. OY is shocked since she had intended for SL become his wife,
while Concubine Li smugly thinks this is a high position for SL.
942 The emperor is angered that someone would suggest for Yan Huas daughter to become a concubine
and tells her to shut up. YQ says hed be lucky to take her as a wife, while SL rejects, saying shes spoken
for. YQ is shocked since he had intended to win her back but Concubine Li is satisfied she isnt interested in
the Emperor and offers to have him hand down a marriage edict. SL rejects since NL isnt from Western Jin.
943 YQ smiles gently a sign that hes angry, while the Emperor dismisses the court to talk to SL alone. The
Emperor asks about her mother, so SL takes out the Yan Hua dagger and shows him. Recognizing it, he
believes its YHs keepsake and remarks on SLs resemblance.

Chapters 944-951 Su Luos Father Candidates: Choose the answer that best fits.
944-946 The Emperor has SL call him Ouyang Uncle ( uyng Bbo), and tells her YH was a
goddess in the hearts of men, hinting his own affections. He was kept as a servant for 3 months when she
caught him killing and stealing. SL asks about her father; which OU narrows down to 4 candidates:

Rong Yun YHs sworn brother; but SLs ruled him out already
Lord (Cheng Zhu) of Purgatory City; waited 7 days and 7 nights in the snow for YH after she stood
him up to meet a secret mystery man
Gui Ci Member - a black-cloaked man who YH stood CZ up for when he changed the mountain
landscape into a sky reservoir. Part of Gu C ( Crafty Thorn), an assassination organization
which once exterminated Bei Mos Royal family (one before the Xuan Yuan family) overnight,
turning it from the strongest country to the weakest.
Unknown Man Someone OU has never seen or heard about and may not exist, but YH always
carried a mans white jade finger guard ( Bi Y Bn Zhi*) that she valued more than her
life

OU concludes that aside from YH, only RY might know, but hell make sure SL is comfortable here since YH
saved him from Gui Ci. SL is overwhelmed by YHs murky relations.
*Examples of Ban Zhi:

947 SL asks OU for the SDS, but OU tells her that this is the only thing he cant give her since its his
ancestors legacy. The SDS is only given to legitimate (Di) male heirs and is with YQ, the only one born from
the Empress. OU hints SL can get it by marrying YQ, telling her not to reject him since his looks, character
and talent are good. SL retorts, telling him YQ will betray him.
948 OU offers to wager over this but SL refuses. OY tries asking SL about her conversation with OU but fails
to get anything. Night time, SL sneaks out to YQs courtyard, Yn Hu Din ( Cloud Flower Palace),
noting that every hall in the Imperial Palace contains YHs Hua ( Flower) character.
949 SL heads towards the centre where YQs room is. YQs room is empty but the floorboards near his bed
contain a hidden compartment. SL takes out a rosewood box containing the SDS. Theres a wire attached
which would trigger a hidden weapons trap.
950-951 SL places the box into her space, knowing thered be other traps within it, and turns to see YQ. He
grabs her hand, refusing to let go and hints theres a reason for his past actions. SL doesnt believe him.
Sensing this may be his last chance, YQ hugs SL close and starts kissing her despite her protests. Despite
their past relations, SL feels uncomfortable being kissed by him, and also feels that shes betraying NL. SL
stops resisting to catch YQ off-guard, before aiming a Dimensional Imprint at his head and a dagger to his
heart, looking at him with hate, but cant bring herself to kill him. She tells him to forget the past, and
leaves before OU discovers the theft.

Chapter 952-963 Gathering on Cloudy Mountain

952-953 SL spies YXs men searching the palace, sneering since theyre a step late. Jumping over the wall,
she removes one of the men who saw her, before running towards a forest. She hears fighting sounds, and
the little dragon tells her its someone familiar. Hiding in a tree, she spies YXs men fighting a weakened ZiY
and her Elemental Elf. ZiY despairs as shes attacked from all sides, when SL leaps in with her spirit pets. SL
heals ZiY, apologizing for dragging her into the battle with YX.
954 ZiY asks about SLs face, secretly wanting to see NLs reaction when he finds out. SL tells her shes
recovered her real one, from the one RY altered. SL thinks that since YX isnt her mothers opponent, the
enemy shes hiding SL from isnt her. SL heals ZiYs injuries, giving her extra FRP since shes now an
Advanced Apothecarist and can refine her own.
955 ZiY notices that SL is 6th ranked and is shocked since SL is 17, and theyve only been separated a few
days. They recount their experiences SLs time with YX, and ZiYs encounter with 50 of YXs grunts the
last of which were killed by SL. SL hands her a new dress and ZiY remarks on the convenience of space
storage items. SL promises to give her one (when she can make them) but ZiY is already grateful for the elf.
956-957 SL takes out the rosewood box containing the SDS. It has a combination (briefcase) lock, with 6
slots, 10 digits (0-9) and millions of possibilities. ZiY fails to break it with her energy, so SL tries to crack it
manually. YQs birthday doesnt work, so ZiY suggests using his loved ones. The box opens when SL enters
her own, causing her to tremble in anger.
958-959 ZiY wants to know how SL guessed, but she avoids answering. Theyre disappointed to find that the
box is empty. Recognizing YQs thoughts, SL discovers the SDS under a false bottom, only to find that the
manual is blank. ZiY tells her it requires a concoction to read, made from White Congealing Grass (
Nng Bi Co) and Celestial Flower Seed ( Z Xin Hu), which grow on the peak of Cloudy Mountain.
SL warns ZiY the elfs use is limited.
960 ZiY takes SL to the Cloudy Mountains as thanks for the elf. Admiring the view, they run into YQ.
Realizing who he is, ZiY tells him not to be so stingy. YQ replies that he wont towards Luo Luo and ZiY
thinks fearfully of NLs reaction should he know a 3rd wheel is attempting to steal his wife.
961 ZiY secretly admires YQs audacity, not knowing that he doesnt know about NL. YQ has SL dismiss ZiY
to talk in private. Since she was sent to spy, ZiY panics, sending a paper crane to warn NL his relationship is
in danger. YQ reprimands SL that impatience is what causes people to lose in negotiations.
962 SL agrees that their conversation is like a negotiation business. SL states she cant forget being
stabbed by the person she loved and YQ is shocked she had felt so strongly for him, but bitter since she still
blames him. When SL tries downplaying the past, YQ tells her he never betrayed her, but at the time, it
wasnt just the two of them at the scene. SL senses something and tries to run away with ZiY.
963 YXs men arrive, greeting YQ as Young Master ( Sho Zh). SLs face turns dark, and thinks its
another one of his traps. YQ cant explain himself and tries to get SL to leave. However, the men attack
since they only obey YX.

Chapters 963-973 A Certain Male Leads Return

964-965 YQ tells SL that hell keep her safe if she leaves with him. SL is disgusted and would rather die, so
YQ signals for the men to go ahead. SL, ZiY and the dragon fight as 13 of the men (5 5th ranked, 5 6th ranked,
3 7th ranked) charge towards them. The dragon jabs them in the heart, later switching to head, while SL
uses the LRB plant to hold the 7th ranked men before taking one out using her space magic. However, SL is
unable to deal with the remaining men, while their fight causes rubble to shift, hitting SL and causing her to
fall towards the edge of the cliff.
966-968 SL barely avoids falling off the cliff, when the men in black charge towards her with swords. As ZiY
panics and YQ hesitates to rescue her, NL appears, having ran over due to ZiYs message (chapter 961). NL
angrily asks who dares harm his treasured person, but is indifferent to YXs name and beheads the 8th
ranked leader before slicing a 7th ranked like an onion.
968 NL causes the remaining 7th ranked to explode, and SL notes NLs increase in strength and that its
more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle. One of the men begs YQ to intervene, exposing him from his
hiding place. YQ tells NL to stop, introducing himself. YQ and NL are often compared, as genius clouds in the
east and west, however NL instinctively dislikes him even more so when ZiY tells him YQ is the 3rd wheel.
All the men in black fall dead.
969 YQ is angry, but doesnt act since hes weaker than NL. However, he notices SL joyfully looking at NL
the same way she used to look at him, and realizes she did have someone (chapter 942). NL sends a wind
blade towards YQ, who retaliates with a golden fist attack. As YQ falls, NL tells him his death is sealed for
chasing after SL, but YQ retorts that he had met her first.
970 NL doesnt believe him and charges towards YQ with a sword, only for him to dodge last minute. YQ
then addresses NL, having figured out his identity, secretly praising SL for finding someone on par with him.
He mocks NLs attack and charges towards SL, only to disappear. ZiY is shocked YQ has the long-lost
Invisibility Element ( Yn Shn Sh Hidden Body).
971 However NL knows Primary level invisibility only works for 10 seconds. Sensing YQ sneaking towards
him, he uses his spiritual energy as a full body armour, blocking YQs attacks. The impact causes some
damage to SL and ZiY standing near him, but NL himself is undamaged and mocks YQ for being weak, telling
him to choose how he wants to die. YQ tells NL that if hes killed, SL would never forgive him.
972-973 SL is incredulous, considering YQ had once killed her. NL had avoided looking at SL due to ZiYs
message and is shocked that shes become so beautiful. SL asks if he likes the changes, and NL reassures
her that hell love her regardless since what he liked wasnt her face and that she was beautiful before as
well. ZiY is shocked at NLs mushiness, while YQ looks on at the perfect couple. NL asks SL if the surgery
hurt and why shed go to such lengths, when SL retorts that her current face is her real one. NL then
examines her face, almost drooling, before pulling her into a hug, having been reunited after 2 years. YQ
interrupts, telling him hes known SL longer, and NL retaliates with a punch in the face.

Chapters 974982 Rematch with Yan Xia

974 YQ mocks SL for replacing her old love with a new one, asking if hes in her heart and acting like she
abandoned him. SL looks at him with contempt for so shameless. NL listens on, and confirms they have a
shared past. Hes determined to kill YQ, attacking his neck, only for YQ to bring up their unborn child,
causing SL to cry. He looks at SL expectantly, while NL is shocked and feels like an outsider as they stare at
each other.
975 SL looks at NL wanting to explain but not knowing where to start since it was a past life. Seeing her
reluctance, NL grabs SLs wrist, almost crushing it, before angrily carrying her down the mountain. ZiY
insults YQ, before returning to Purgatory City, leaving only a lonely YQ swearing that SL will be his.
976-977 NL carries SL through the forest, asking her if she couldnt even wait 2 years before carrying on an
affair. SL tries to explain, but infuriates him even more since she calls YQ by his given name and NL by his
full name. SL states shes never done anything to be ashamed of and that NLs grip is hurting her. NL asks
when they met, since hes already researched her past but there was no mention of YQ or a pregnancy. SL
continues to hesitate and NL becomes disheartened over her past indifference, current betrayal and that
his love is one-sided. NL storms off, leaving SL crying in the forest. As the sky turns dark and the rain starts
falling, SL decides to tell NL everything if he comes back, only shes not sure he will.
978 YX sneaks towards SL, removing her cloak to stare down at her. As shes about to attack, SL tells her
shes sent a letter to RY saying if shes dead, the murderer would be YX. YX tells her being hated is fine,
while asking SL if shes delaying her in case her lover returns.
979 YX forms a ball of light, putting most of her strength in it. SL uses her space armour before turning and
running. However, YX aims her attack towards SLs back, causing her to fly 1km through the trees, leaving
her dizzy, numb and coughing up blood. SL then mocks YX for being inferior to YH, telling her to find YH if
she has the talent.
980 YX forms a handprint, sending it towards SL with the force of mountains. In pain, SL thinks of NL turning
his back on her, when the little dragon flies towards YX like a bullet. Having been focused on SL, YX allowed
the dragon to catch her off guard and bite off her thumb. However, YX is still stronger and grabs the dragon
by its neck, telling it to spit her thumb out since she was wearing her treasured Jasper Finger Guard (what
YH has chapter 946), only to have her wrist scratched. YX knocks out the dragon, but since she fears the
consequences of killing it, can only search its mouth for her Finger Guard.
981 Just as YX is about to stab the dragon, NL arrives. NL had walked off, hoping SL would chase after him
and explain. Disappointed again, he went to a place 100km away to vent his heartbreak on the trees and
ground, only to hear YXs attack. Hearing the second attack, he recalls ZiY recounting their experience with
YX and hurries towards the scene. NL arrives as YX finds her Finger Guard in the pocket of a small jumper SL
had sewn for the dragon.
982 SLs space armour had absorbed most of the impact from YXs first attack, but was left barely alive from
the second. YX towers over SL, watching her life drain and pulls out a dagger to damage her face before she
dies. NL tells her to stop as the dagger is barely an inch away from SLs face. YX senses her opponent is
weaker and decides to have him watch on as she continues.

Chapters 983-992 Nangong Liuyun v Yan Xia

983 At the critical moment, SLs LRB plant wraps itself around YXs dagger, having saved the last of its
strength. YX is shocked its a rare, mutated plant, and coupled with her other advantages, is even more
determined to kill SL since shell become a great threat in the future. As YX shakes off the plant, NL pulls
out a Saint ranked ( Shng Ji) Spirit Bomb even higher than 10th ranked.
984-985 NL tells YX to let SL go, threatening to use the Spirit Bomb. YX warns him that if he uses it, all of
them will die, but NL doesnt mind dying with SL. YX throws SLs body towards NL, only to strike them
together when he catches her. NL dodges her attack, feeding SL a Life Restoring Pill ( X Mng Dn
Yo) and placing her in a tree, before defending against YX. NL meets her sword attacks but is damaged by
her fists, while YX mocks him over the limitations of their generation gap and for being 9th ranked.
986 NL hints he may be advancing, but YX still doesnt see him as a threat and attempts to strangle him
with a green vine. NL burns it, only for YX to send fireballs towards him, and NL notices YXs men sneaking
towards SL. NL was on the verge of breaking through to 10th ranked when ZiYs letter arrived, so he delayed
advancing and rushed over. Due to his abnormal physique, promoting can be terrifying and causes
abnormal phenomenon, so NL holds SL to shield her as the sky darkens and bursts of lightning appear on
the sky. YX is shocked due to the dangerous situation, that NL has the thunder element, and that so many
lightning bolts appeared, indicating his strength.
987 The men sneaking towards SL are killed by the lightning, while SL is protected by the Lightning Bead (
Li Zh) NL placed on her. The bead is something that only the Lord of Purgatory City has. CZ is NLs
master and hoped itd save him when needed. YX panics, while dodging the lightning and rain, which
continue painting the sky like fireworks, and tearing the trees and magical beasts in the forest. NL absorbs
the lightning but coughs up blood since he gave the bead to SL.
988 The lightning is split equally between YX and NL, when NL finishes promoting. YX is jealous over NLs
talent and that he achieved 10th ranked so early. YX sends her vines towards a cultivating NL, which has
leaves as sharp as daggers. A purple light emerges from NL, sending the vine back towards YX, striking her
arm, while a huge ball of lightning forms.
989 The lightning ball chases YX, who notices SL is still alive. YX assumes SL has some sort of lightning guard
and leads the attack towards her. However the lightning bead isnt invincible so NL kicks YX, sending her
over a cliff, still followed by the lightning ball. NL runs with SL as the ball explodes.
990-991 NL is injured from using his remaining energy to protect SL, as well as the fight, though his life isnt
in danger. He approaches SL, panicking over her state while apologizing and trying to wake her. SLs body
turns cold and remains unconscious, so NL injects his own spiritual energy in her for 3 days and 3 nights,
ignoring his own injuries. This causes her to gasp, and her state improves, though she doesnt wake up. NL
recovers and moves SL off the cliff, running into the little dragon.
992 The little dragon approaches SL and tries to wake her. NL pulls out a blanket from his space ring one
of the two placed on auction and notices SL has grown colder in the 15 minutes he used to recover his
energy, showing shes now fully dependent on him. The little dragon hands NL herbs (chapter 959), as well
as the SDS manual, and NL wonders if SL got close to YQ to get her hands on it.

Chapters 993-1003 Yan Xias Demise

993-994 Under the dragons directions, NL applies the herbs to the book to reveal the text, and starts
reciting, causing SL to twitch in response. SL in her unconscious state, hears NL reciting the SDS but is too
weak to move or react so she enters her space and practices. However SL cant survive without NLs energy
and hasnt woken in 10 days so they head to RYs mountain. Meanwhile YX is still alive, saved from one of
the many treasures hidden on her her trump card, Concealing Net ( Png B Wng), which can
block strong attacks but only partially diverted this one.
995-996 An injured YX is found by YQ with less than 1% of her cultivation remaining. YX is YQs master a
relationship even OU doesnt know and had helped him level up so quickly. Despite YQs nursing, YX
realizes shes near the end of her life and wants to use YQ to settle her grudge. Under YXs questioning, he
admits he wants SL, and also wants NL dead, but isnt NLs match. YX tells him that for a heavy price he can
surpass NL by training towards the Demonic Path ( R M Do) as his lack of strength is why NL
can trample over him and SL abandoned him. Given NL had beaten YX to this state, he agrees, vowing that
if he cant kill NL or cant marry SL in this life, he wont be considered human. YX knows that YQ cant kill SL
but being forced to marry a man she doesnt love would be worse than death. She gives YQ the Demonic
Path Manual ( M Do Din Fng).
997-998 NL carries SL towards Misty Cloud Peak and frightens ZR with his tyrannical aura. NL ignores him
and carries SL to her quarters, asking for RY, who has yet to return. NL has ZR examine SL, but only RY can
cure her. NL pulls down RYs cultivation room, the Absolute Peak Pagoda ( Ju Fng T) to summon
him back.
999-1000 NL continues monitoring SL and ZR gives NL a cup of CSW to feed her. RY returns, suspecting YXs
arrival, when ZR tells him about SLs injuries and face. RY rushes towards SL and is shocked since her face
looks exactly like YHs. RY examines SL, and is infuriated over her injuries, before disappearing in a puff of
smoke after YX. ZR is in fear over RY and NLs anger. SL continues practicing in her space, while RY finds YX
now looking like an 80-year-old only for YX to be delighted shes finally angered RY.
1001-1002 RY confronts YX over her hatred for YH, but slaps her due to her insults. He asks if shes told
anyone about SLs face, and she taunts him with SLs impending death, revealing that shes given YQ the
Demonic Path Manual, causing RY to feel unsettled. YX dies before RY can continue interrogating her. RY
laments SLs face being revealed since her challenges will be harsher, the re-emergence of the Demonic
Path which once shook the continent, that NL might not be able to protect SL, and the fact that the cause
YX has died. RY eradicates 108 of YXs bases, containing 10,000 of her underlings. The 10 large forces are
in shock, and LYC pulls back the forces looking for SL, while LYY has returned to the Jade Lake.
1003-1004 RY examines SL, telling NL shell die within 12 months unless hes willing to risk his life to give
her the Red-Black Blood Ginseng ( Ch Xi Xun Shn), which can even regrow flesh and bones on
the dead, and owned by one of the 10 powerful forces, the M Xin Temple ( Wooden Celestial).
The temple has 9 barriers ( J Gun), each filled with infinite treasures corresponding to their rank
the last barrier contains the RBBG. SL has to come along, but NL doesnt want to risk it, since a pair of men
and women are needed to break into the temple, while the user of the RBBG has to retrieve the item
themselves for it to work. SL stirs, and RY gives her a Master ranked pill, telling NL that if he brings her at
least she has a change of surviving, otherwise there is only death.

Chapters 1005-1013 Confessions

1005 NL reprimands RY for only watching on, but RY tells him theres no other way. To access the Mu Xian
Temple, 4 keys are needed, held by 4 clans: Purgatory City, the Beichen Family, Jade Lake and the Luo Yu
Family. RY leaves Misty Cloud Peak for 3 days to refine medicine and negotiate over use of the keys. SL
wakes to find herself in RYs refining room and is soothed by NL. RY looks at NL with regard.
1006 RY has SL soak in a medicinal cauldron filled with rare herbs for 7 days, lamenting its only missing the
Seven Step Constrained Laughter Flower ( Q B Hn Xio Hu). SL reveals one from her space
taken from YXs medicinal cabinet and RY tells her to eat a petal every hour to fully absorb the effects of
the medicine. NL cultivates next to the cauldron, while RY leaves.
1007 After 7 days, RY returns and finds SLs condition has improved. SL had been practicing the SDS and her
spirit is stronger, even though her physical body hasnt recovered. Insisting on walking by herself, she falls,
hugging NLs waist. NL places her on a bed, before staring at her and apologizing.
1008 Hearing NLs heartfelt apology, SL admits she shouldnt have hesitated, while reassuring NL its over
since YX has died. NL laments not personally killing her, noting that YQ hasnt died yet. However, YQ is
practicing the Demonic Path and even RY cant locate him. SL asks if he believes her, which he does. So she
finally decides to come clean about her past.
1009 SL asks if NL believes in reincarnation and tells him she met YQ in a world with advanced technology.
SL reveals that they were together, about the child, as well as the fact that he killed her for his ambitions.
NL listens on in jealousy and SL silently waits for his response. After some time, NL reaches out to hug SL,
telling her he believes her.
1010 SL brightens at his response, and NL kisses her. NL then tells SL he loves her and that the person
beside him can only be her. NL blushes since its his first love declaration, telling her that she had broken
through his solitary life and became all his firsts. He laments his lack of experience with love and is
uncertain how to approach it, but asks if she wants to be with him. SL is shocked at NLs confession and
that hes nervously waiting for a response.
1011 SL asks if he minds her past, but NL only cares about this life. SL tells NL that if he doesnt back out
now, their life and death would be intertwined. NL is delighted, almost crushing SL in excitement, before
asking her to repeat it since it was too windy to hear. NL runs out holding SL, forgetting to open the door in
the excitement, and the building to collapses, leaving ZR in shock.
1012 In NLs arms, SL laughs at the mess hes created until her stomach hurts, leaving NL embarrassed. ZR
questions SL over the state of the house, mentioning even a 9th ranked attack wouldnt damage it. SL
continues laughing, causing NLs face to darken. SL calls NL adorable, stating that hes now hers and not to
bring any 3rd or 4th party into their relationship. NL agrees.
1013 NL vows that hell only have SL, and that LYY will also be sorted out, before asking what other
conditions she has. SL decides that shell state her mind, and figure the rest out along the way. NL proposes
they marry after returning from Mu Xian Temple. SL thinks its a little fast, but since its all NL wants, and
that theyll be together regardless, agrees. The 7th and 9th barriers are also notoriously difficult. SL sleeps in
NLs arms with him reassuring her. The next morning, RY presents them with 100 master level Life
Restoring Pills ( Shng J Dn)
