Yun Qi and the others captured a thousand-year Wind-Tailed Cockscomb Snake for Oscar, but Snake Dowager and her granddaughter arrived and claimed they had been hunting it for her advancement.

• Zhao Wuji asked Yun Qi to have the Shrek students release their Martial Souls, and their ages, ranks, and Spirit Rings shocked Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.

Zhao Wuji led the group back from the Star Dou Great Forest, but they camped overnight when darkness fell, while Yun Qi and the others still awaited Er Ming.

• Oscar explained that his Mushroom Sausage briefly doubled the eater’s speed, then provided a weaker boost that lasted one minute and stacked with Ning Rongrong’s spirit skill.

• Yun Qi broke both of Dai Mubai’s arms so that he, too, would suffer severe injuries.

After binding a cultivation reward to Xiao Wu, Yun Qi left the injured Shrek group in the Nine-Leaf Junzi Orchid’s care and took Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong to visit her home.

Yun Qi and the girls cultivated for seven days beside the Lake of Life, then prepared to leave after saying goodbye to Da Ming and Er Ming. When Yun Qi brought out ten Immortal Beans, their life energy shook the lake and caused everyone but him to faint, and a silver-haired beauty appeared before him.
