• Huo Wu arrived with Huo Lie and a group of people to check on Chen Yue after worrying he might be in danger.
• Chen Yue confirmed he had come to see Dugu Bo, who introduced himself and was startled when Chen Yue identified his martial soul, rank, and mastery of poison.

• Tang Yuehua took Ning Shuangshuang and Huo Wu into the hotel, leaving Chen Yue and Dugu Bo alone.

Chen Yue recognized that Dugu Bo’s terminal illness came from his martial soul and said it could be resolved. He led Dugu Bo to a villa outside Suotuo City and prepared an unusual treatment, leaving Dugu Bo startled by the instruction to soak naked in a bathtub for a full day and night.

• Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo concealed their auras and waited for Dugu Bo to fall asleep.
• Ghost Douluo questioned why they had not been sent to lure Shui Bingyue away, and Chrysanthemum Douluo warned him by recalling how badly Tang Hao had been frozen.

Chen Yue waited for Dugu Bo to fall asleep so he could use the Spirit Exaltation Technique, while Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo waited to knock Chen Yue out. After three days, Chen Yue found Dugu Bo asleep and discovered that enhancing him would cost 1,200 years of lifespan.

• Ghost Douluo told Chrysanthemum Douluo they could not act while Dugu Bo remained awake, and they agreed to wait.
• Chen Yue also waited for Dugu Bo to fall asleep, while Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo waited for the same chance to knock Chen Yue out.
• After three days and nights, Chen Yue entered the room and found Dugu Bo asleep in the bathing tub, unaware that Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo had knocked him out.
• Chen Yue activated Endless Domain: Blade and attempted to use the Spirit Exaltation Technique on Dugu Bo.
• The technique demanded 1,200 years of Chen Yue's lifespan, leaving him shocked by the cost.

• Qian Xunji and Tang Zhang planned to place Chen Yue with A Yin and use the scandal to turn the continent against him.
• Tang Zhang sought revenge for his son and hoped to weaken Chen Yue, while Qian Xunji aimed to remove an obstacle to his strategy.
• Qian Daoliu had arranged for Tang Hao to lose his memories of A Yin, and only he knew the side effect involving Tang Hao’s soul rings.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo kept Tang Hao working with their group while they managed the imprisoned A Yin, whose hostility risked forcing them to use drastic measures. The group then considered which captive to deal with first: A Yin, Xiao Wu, or the unexpectedly captured Shui Bingyue.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo mocked Tang Hao for shivering by the fire, and Ghost Douluo called him over to help.
• Ghost Douluo urged Tang Hao to finish the mission and explained that A Yin's hostility made the group wary of provoking her into sacrificing herself.

• The Villain Group turned to their captives, A Yin, Xiao Wu, and Shui Bingyue, and asked who they should give the first opportunity to.
• The group had captured Shui Bingyue after Chrysanthemum Douluo helped wear down her Soul Power during her fight with Tang Hao.

• Tang Hao ordered A Yin to swallow a packet of medicinal powder, threatening to use force if she refused.
• A Yin recognized the powder as epimedium and realized Tang Hao intended her to serve Chen Yue.

Tang Hao forced the unconscious A Yin to swallow Epimedium, then rejected her advances after she woke under its influence and sent her beside Chen Yue. He left her in the cabin with Chen Yue as Chrysanthemum Douluo mocked him.

• Tang Hao insulted A Yin and shut the door, leaving her in the room with Chen Yue amid the Epimedium fumes.
• Tang San sneezed in Suotuo City, while Chrysanthemum Douluo mocked Tang Hao for emerging from the cabin so soon.

Tang Hao boasted to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo that he would have killed A Yin for her spirit ring and bone, leaving them baffled by his behavior. After walking away, he realized he had inhaled the potent Epimedium that Qian Xunji and Tang Zhang had prepared, and his consciousness began to fade.

• Tang Hao mocked Chrysanthemum Douluo and claimed he would have killed A Yin for her spirit ring and bone if Chrysanthemum Douluo had not been there.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo speculated that Tang Hao had an unusual fetish and wondered why he acted like a proud lone wolf.

• Tang Hao began feeling feverish and short of breath, then realized he had inhaled the concentrated Epimedium prepared by Qian Xunji and Tang Zhang.
• Tang Hao's consciousness grew muddled as he looked at something white and soft in front of him.

Tang Hao succumbed to the effects of Epimedium, while Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo guarded the cabin and waited under Qian Xunji’s orders. Seven days later, Huo Lie grew worried when Chen Yue failed to arrive and went to find Huo Wu, who could not say where her teacher had gone.

• Tang Hao fought to stay clear-headed but gave in to the effects of Epimedium and lunged at the plump thing before him.
• Ghost Douluo refused Chrysanthemum Douluo’s suggestion to investigate the cries and reminded him they had to guard Master Chen and keep track of time.
• Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo waited outside the wooden cabin, following orders to bring in another person after three days and three nights.
• After seven days and seven nights passed without Chen Yue arriving or Huo Wu sending word, Huo Lie became concerned and went to Blazing Fire City.
• Huo Lie found Huo Wu at the Rose Hotel, where she said Chen Yue had left with Mister Dugu and she did not know where he had gone.

Tang Hao woke after losing half a month to the effects of Epimedium and tried to piece together what had happened. He drank from a pot before Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo could warn him, leaving the pair to avoid him.

• Tang Hao woke in the wooden hut with a sore head and found bloodstains scattered around him.

• Tang Hao drank from a pot before Chrysanthemum Douluo could warn him, then asked why the water tasted strange.
• Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo moved away from Tang Hao, who was hurt when they took another half-step back.

Tang Hao woke up and left after Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo recoiled from him, while Chrysanthemum Douluo learned that the Filth-Cleansing Vessel had been collecting everything in the wooden house’s air. The chapter ended as Chrysanthemum Douluo questioned why Ghost Douluo had left its contents unemptied.

• Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo backed away when Tang Hao opened his mouth, and Chrysanthemum Douluo told Tang Hao to return to Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Hao noticed his ragged condition and left the wooden house.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo asked Ghost Douluo why he had not emptied the Filth-Cleansing Vessel’s contents during his turn watching over it.
• The narration explained that Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo had used the soul tool to absorb airborne substances from the sealed wooden house and compress them into liquid.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo worried that Chen Yue might be keeping Shui Bingyue and two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts inside for too long. They hesitated to intervene, concerned about offending Chen Yue and losing the chance to earn his favor.

• Ghost Douluo explained that Tang Hao had unexpectedly drunk the wine while he was dozing, and Chrysanthemum Douluo decided to leave Tang Hao alone.
• Ghost Douluo said Chen Yue seemed unharmed, then wondered whether the three women with him might die if they stayed inside much longer.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled how long Chen Yue had kept others waiting before and feared Shui Bingyue's death could provoke Skywater City's nobles.
• Ghost Douluo said they had brought no women and worried that entering would be inappropriate, especially given Chen Yue's ties to Bibi Dong.
• The two Douluos refrained from going in, hoping to preserve Chen Yue's goodwill and perhaps receive help improving their soul rings or martial souls.
