Chapter Summaries

Dai Mubai and Tang San each concealed their self-interest while agreeing to cooperate, as Zhu Zhuqing’s consumption of the Narcissus Jade Bone greatly increased her Soul Power and improved her martial soul. Luo Ye planned to ask Gu Yuena to help find Zhu Zhuqing a soul ring, hoping it would trigger a further transformation.

• Dai Weisi left to seek healing medicine and healing-type Soul Masters after confirming Tang Hao’s condition, while Tang Hao’s injuries forced him to sever his own limbs.
• Dai Mubai warned Tang San against trusting Dai Weisi and promised him a reward for helping seize the Star Luo throne; Tang San privately considered supporting whoever offered him the greater benefits.
• Zhu Zhuqing broke through to at least level thirty-five after consuming the Narcissus Jade Bone and felt that her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul had improved.
• Luo Ye urged Zhu Zhuqing to absorb a suitable soul ring while the Immortal Herb’s medicinal power remained, and considered asking Gu Yuena to help find one.
• Luo Ye’s diary entry suggested that a high-quality soul ring could transform Zhu Zhuqing’s martial soul, while he reflected on a plan to change the fate of the soul beast race.

Luo Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, Gu Yuena, and the Snow Empress traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest so Zhu Zhuqing could hunt a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring to transform her martial soul. The Snow Empress stayed distant from Luo Ye, who began writing about how she had grown close to him in their previous life.

• Zhu Zhuqing accepted Luo Ye's offer to help her hunt a soul ring despite feeling conflicted about needing Gu Yuena's help.
• Gu Yuena agreed to take Zhu Zhuqing to the Star Dou Great Forest and suggested a suitably aged Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
• Luo Ye brought the Snow Empress along to protect the group, while Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing suspected he wanted to spend time with her.
• The Snow Empress kept her distance from Luo Ye during the journey, and he wrote in his diary that she had once been just as cold before becoming proactive toward him.

Luo Ye and his companions helped Zhu Zhuqing obtain a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring, triggering a beneficial mutation in her martial soul. He then offered Snow Empress an Immortal Herb, leaving her to respond.

• Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing read Luo Ye's diary entry about Snow Empress's hidden warmth and felt threatened by her potential interest in him.
• Snow Empress changed the subject by asking where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was, and Gu Yuena led the group to a weak one suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.
• Snow Empress subdued the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Gu Yuena weakened its Spiritual Power so Zhu Zhuqing could absorb its soul ring safely.
• Zhu Zhuqing killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and began absorbing its soul ring, which combined with the Narcissus Jade Bone's lingering effects to transform her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
• After teasing Gu Yuena about her Immortal Herb, Luo Ye offered Snow Empress an Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass he had prepared for her.

Luo Ye gave Snow Empress the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to help her overcome her coming tribulation, while Gu Yuena's attempt to persuade her made Snow Empress suspect Gu Yuena was helping Luo Ye pursue her. Snow Empress planned to return to the Extreme North before consuming the herb, but Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God's soul ring and her martial soul transformed.

• Snow Empress refused the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass at first, saying she would accept it only after providing Luo Ye with help of equal value.
• Luo Ye insisted she take the herb as an advance payment, and Gu Yuena persuaded her to accept it.
• Luo Ye's Diary Instance revealed his hopes that the herb would help Snow Empress break through her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation and that he wanted to win her over.
• Snow Empress decided to consume the herb in the Extreme North, where her environment would aid her and Gu Yuena could protect her.
• Zhu Zhuqing completed her absorption of the Dark Demon Evil God's soul ring, and her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul underwent a major transformation.

After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul mutated into the Shadow Demon Cat and her Soul Power rose to level thirty-seven. The group left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with Luo Ye deciding to wait before using his planned immortal herbs.

• Luo Ye told Zhu Zhuqing to examine her mutated Martial Soul after she celebrated reaching level thirty-seven.
• Zhu Zhuqing tested her soul skills, found her new Martial Soul nearly twice as powerful as before, and thanked Luo Ye.
• Zhu Zhuqing named her mutated Martial Soul the Shadow Demon Cat, while Gu Yuena felt jealous as she watched them embrace.
• Gu Yuena suggested Luo Ye consume an immortal herb to reach level forty, but Luo Ye declined because his planned herbs would not raise his Soul Power enough.
• Luo Ye and the others left the Star Dou Great Forest for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Luo Ye resumed writing in his diary.

Zhu Qing’s Soul Power rose to level thirty-seven and her martial soul evolved into the Shadow Demon Cat after absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring. As Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing competed for Luo Ye’s favor, Zhu Zhuyun headed for Heaven Dou City, hoping to reunite with her sister while worrying Dai Weisi might find them.

• Luo Ye reflected that Na’er had helped Zhu Qing absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring and considered her the best candidate for head girl.
• Zhu Zhuqing read Luo Ye’s diary and resolved to pursue him more actively so she could surpass Gu Yuena in the contest for principal wife.

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Rongrong asked the girls whether they wanted to pursue Luo Ye, and several revealed their intentions or reasons for staying out of it. Ye Lingling insisted she would not repeat her previous-life mistake of becoming only Luo Ye’s confidante, while Ning Rongrong privately doubted her resolve.

• Ning Rongrong invited the girls to discuss pursuing Luo Ye and offered to share advice.
• Dugu Yan said she wanted to pursue Luo Ye because he met her standards and she regretted not becoming his partner in their previous life.
• Ye Lingling said she would not pursue Luo Ye because she did not want to fall for him and remain merely a confidante again.

• Ice Empress said she cared only about the points Luo Ye could provide and planned to stay near him to keep watch on Snow Empress.
• Xiao Wu agreed with Ning Rongrong but doubted she could win Luo Ye over, since he had accepted only a few women in their previous life.

Hu Liena and Bibi Dong discussed how to help Hu Liena and Qian Renxue compete with Gu Yuena for Luo Ye, while acknowledging that Gu Yuena had a major head start. Qian Renxue decided to approach Luo Ye as the Qian Family’s legitimate daughter and recruit him for Spirit Hall when he returned.

• Ning Rongrong resolved to help Zhu Zhuqing win and hoped to rely on her support to remain by Luo Ye’s side.
• Hu Liena reassured Bibi Dong that Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue would eventually act, but Bibi Dong warned that Gu Yuena’s status as a Reincarnator gave her a strong advantage.

• Hu Liena said she could not act until Qian Renxue brought Luo Ye to Spirit Hall, and that their arrival depended on Qian Renxue’s next move.
• Qian Renxue told Liu Erlong she would increase her interactions with Luo Ye and pretend to recruit him for Spirit Hall without revealing the Diary Instance.
