Gu Qinghan cultivated at the Gu Family Ancestral Grounds while pregnant, expecting to hand her children over to Chen Yue after their birth. The chapter explained how the grounds’ second-awakening formation could improve her children’s chances of inheriting an extreme-type martial soul, provided she did not become a Titled Douluo first.

• Qian Renxue sensed that she might be close to giving birth after eating and drinking extensively, while Chen Yue’s One Soul Technique accelerated the babies’ growth through abundant nutrition.
• Gu Qinghan cultivated in the icy Gu Family Ancestral Grounds and complained that she would send her unborn children to their father once they were born.
• The chapter explained that direct-line Gu Family members used the ancestral grounds’ formation pool to undergo a second awakening and improve their descendants’ inheritance chances.
• Gu Qinghan sensed that her children had an approximately eighty percent chance to awaken a top-tier martial soul related to hers after her own second awakening.
• The chapter noted that Gu Qinghan could not become a Titled Douluo first, because an ancestor’s attempt to use the formation after reaching that rank had sent their children’s martial soul awakenings in an unexpected direction.

• Liu Erlong wrote to Xue Qinghe and asked him to have Chen Yue attend the child’s future one-month celebration.
• After tutoring Dugu Yan, Chen Yue left the herb garden to stroll around Heaven Dou City, while Dugu Bo continued recovering from his injuries.

Chen Yue entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace with Dugu Yan after Qian Renxue summoned him, and encountered Ling Yuan Douluo on the way to the Crown Prince’s quarters. He struck her in revenge for kicking him before, revealing that he had become a Soul Emperor and leaving her shocked.

• Chen Yue and Dugu Yan followed the guards into the palace, where Dugu Yan was led to rest and Chen Yue was taken toward the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters.
• Chen Yue recognized Ling Yuan Douluo and slapped her, remembering how she had kicked him onto a freezing floor.
• Ling Yuan Douluo blocked the slap but stumbled back, then asked in shock how Chen Yue had become a Soul Emperor so quickly.

Chen Yue confronted Ling Yuan Douluo after realizing she had retaliated for his earlier kick, and he used his domain to weaken her martial soul and increase her Soul Power consumption. Ling Yuan Douluo launched a fiery attack to end the fight quickly while preserving enough strength to protect Qian Renxue.

• Chen Yue confirmed that Ling Yuan Douluo had been the head maid who retaliated against him.

• Qian Renxue recognized Ling Yuan Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar and worried that Meng Shenji and the others would investigate and uncover her cover.
• Ling Yuan Douluo mocked Chen Yue for missing, and Chen Yue asked whether she had just used her Martial Soul Avatar.

• Chen Yue warned Ling Yuan Douluo that using her Martial Soul Avatar in the palace could get her punished, and she realized she had forgotten where she was.

• Xue Ye arrived with guards and asked why Chen Yue was there.
• Chen Yue told Xue Ye that he had sparred with the Crown Prince's maid and that they had cracked the wall.

• After Xue Ye and the guards left, Chen Yue glared at Ling Yuan Douluo and told her to fill in the rest herself.

After sparring with Ling Yuan Douluo, Chen Yue realized he could not defeat a Titled Douluo without using a dangerous all-out attack, so he chose not to risk Qian Renxue’s protection. He returned to Qian Renxue’s quarters, where their playful teasing recalled her past disguise as Little Azure Luan, and she fell asleep smiling.

• Chen Yue recognized that he could only defeat Ling Yuan Douluo by unleashing a potentially fatal attack, and decided against it because Qian Renxue needed protection.
• Ling Yuan Douluo arranged for the Angel Legion to repair the collapsed wall while Chen Yue went to the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters.
• Qian Renxue asked Chen Yue how the spar went, and he assured her that he had handled it before she teased him about being sweaty.
• Chen Yue tickled Qian Renxue’s foot, prompting her to blush and call him a stinky brother before sending him to bathe.
• Qian Renxue remembered disguising herself as Little Azure Luan and how Chen Yue had once tickled her, then fell asleep smiling.

Chen Yue searched Qian Renxue’s sleeping quarters for a bathhouse while Xue Ye summoned Xue Ke to the Crown Prince’s quarters in the middle of the night. Xue Ke was allowed inside after the guards stopped her escort, while Chen Yue had already entered a suspected bathing area.

• Xue Ye returned and ordered someone to summon Xue Ke.
• Xue Ke woke and followed a palace guard to the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters, expecting an urgent matter.
• A female angel soul master barred Xue Ke’s escort but allowed the princess to enter.
