• Dugu Yan was shocked that Xiao Chen's clothes had withstood her attack and grew dejected when she realized he seemed unmoved by her.

• As Dugu Yan’s body began to burst from the Dragon Transformation Grass, Xiao Chen embraced her from behind and transferred his Soul Power by kissing her, taking her first kiss.
