At the Sea God Fate Convention, several women and even Ji Juechen tried to claim Huo Yuhao, turning the bride-snatching ceremony into a spectacle. The final Sea God Fairy revealed herself as Mu Jin and confessed her feelings for Wang Yan, leaving Chen Ping to expect that she would become his Second Aunt.
