• Chen Yan and Gu Yuena visited a dessert shop, ordered fruit cake and milk tea, and sat by the window enjoying the night view.

After a loving reunion, Chen Yan reassured Gu Yuena that he supported her plans to make the Spirit Pagoda pay for its role in the soul beasts’ decline. Chen Yan began preparing to upgrade their battle armor while Gu Yuena returned to work at the Spirit Pagoda, where Qiangu Zhangting’s harassment tested her patience.

• Chen Yan asked Gu Yuena what she planned to do about the Spirit Pagoda, and she said she would not abandon her arrangements because the organization had helped drive soul beasts toward extinction.

• Yun Ming sealed Ya Li’s cultivation and sent her into the Sea God Pavilion as destruction engulfed Shrek’s defenses and the Golden Tree shielded the Inner Courtyard.
