• The Sea Princess asked Liya whether she would accept Huo Yuhao's contract, and Liya shyly requested a private conversation with him first.

Huo Yuhao sought the Sea Princess's support for Liya to become his Soul Spirit, and revealed the Plane Seed to convince her that he could challenge Sea God Tang San.
