• Qian Daoliu left after the hunt, and Bibi Dong learned that Chen Yue had traveled from Skywater City to Blazing Fire City.
• Bibi Dong went to Blazing Fire City and found Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo standing nearby.

Bibi Dong found Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo guarding a sealed room and entered to investigate, only to emerge unharmed and criticize them for not sending a female soul master to attend to the person inside. The Villain Group was left baffled by her reaction.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo asked whether she truly wanted them to call over a female soul master, and Bibi Dong confirmed it.

After Bibi Dong left, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo wondered why she had not been affected by the Epimedium. The chapter explained that her Sacred Light Domain automatically expelled negative effects, leaving the reason for her reaction otherwise known only to her.

• Bibi Dong's transformed Sacred Light Spider Emperor granted her a domain that removed negative effects and passively repelled harmful substances.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo discussed Haitang’s identity and remarkable healing ability after she healed Chen Yue. They decided she would stay at the Pope’s Palace for the remaining half of their month-long mission.

• Ghost Douluo learned that the Blazing Fire City branch manager had named the amnesiac healing Soul Sage Haitang because her Martial Soul resembled Nine Heart Begonia.

• Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo decided Haitang should stay for the remaining half month of their mission.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo told Haitang she would stay at the Pope’s Palace and promised to explain the arrangement to the Blazing Fire City branch.

Chrysanthemum Douluo assigned Haitang to secretly clean and change the bedding for four people in the Pope's Palace. Meanwhile, Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect, where his unbearable stench drove Tang Xiao and Tang Zhang away and eventually knocked him unconscious.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo told Haitang to bathe all four people daily, change their bedsheets, and burn the used sheets.
• Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect and reported to Tang Zhang that everything had gone according to plan.
• Tang Xiao smelled Tang Hao's stench and fled outside to vomit.
• Tang Zhang approached Tang Hao, caught the same stench, and rushed outside to vomit.
• Tang Hao sniffed his own breath and collapsed unconscious from the smell.

After Tang Hao's foul-smelling weapon caused chaos within Clear Sky Sect, Huo Lie continued searching Blazing Fire City for Chen Yue without success. Qian Daoliu arrived in Heaven Dou City and questioned the elders guarding Qian Renxue, learning they had been unable to enter Heavenly Water Academy.

• Tang Zhang and Tang Xiao refused to approach the unconscious Tang Hao because of his terrible odor, while Clear Sky Sect kept the incident secret.
• Huo Lie had searched Blazing Fire City for half a month without finding Chen Yue and ordered his people to keep searching as he prepared to look in Suotuo City.
• Qian Daoliu arrived in Heaven Dou City after helping Bibi Dong obtain a Soul Beast and visited the people guarding Qian Renxue.
• Ling Yuan Douluo, Ninth Elder, and Tenth Elder told Qian Daoliu they had been unable to enter Heavenly Water Academy and had waited outside.

Qian Daoliu reflected on Spirit Hall’s succession rules and Qian Xunji’s feelings for Bibi Dong, unaware that Qian Renxue was hiding that she already had a child. He decided to visit Qian Renxue at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, while Meng Shenji sensed that the academy’s Directors might have missed something.

• Ling Yuan Douluo claimed that Qian Renxue had told her to hide or suppress her Soul Power after people noticed its fluctuations.
• Qian Daoliu realized the three were concealing something but assumed Qian Renxue wanted to reclaim the position of Pope.

• Qian Daoliu headed for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, passing unseen by its guards and the three Directors of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Meng Shenji stopped and wondered whether the Directors had overlooked something in their earlier speculation.

• Qian Renxue stayed seated behind her desk, concealing her growing belly, and told Qian Daoliu she was doing well and would soon return in glory.

Qian Renxue persuaded Qian Daoliu to bring Qingluan to Heaven Dou, avoiding a return to the Worship Hall that might expose her pregnancy. Qian Daoliu then took out his frustration on Qian Xunji, who learned that his father had beaten him for no reason and was beaten again for talking back.

• Qian Daoliu asked Qian Renxue when she would return to see Qingluan, and she suggested that he bring Qingluan to help her in Heaven Dou.

• Qian Daoliu summoned Qian Xunji and beat him while he was about to be intimate with his wife.
• Qian Xunji asked whether his father had lost his mind, so Qian Daoliu beat him again for his disrespect.

Qian Renxue breathed easier when she learned Qian Daoliu had returned, then discussed how to reach the heavenly treasures in Sunset Forest with the elders. The search remained dangerous because a corrosive poisonous miasma blocked the area, and the chapter left the group without a workable plan to get through it.

• Qian Renxue sighed with relief after confirming Qian Daoliu had returned, while Ling Yuan Douluo teased her about losing her nerve.
• Qian Renxue asked Ninth Elder about the investigation into Sunset Forest, and he reported that the location had been found behind a poisonous miasma.
• Ninth Elder said the miasma was corrosive and that Porcupinefish Douluo might be able to absorb the poison outside it.
• Tenth Elder proposed that Ling Yuan Douluo use fire to break through the miasma, but Ninth Elder warned that fire could make some poisons more potent.
• Ninth Elder rebuked Tenth Elder, and the elders had no safe method to pass through the miasma.

Qian Renxue sent the Ninth Elder to search Sunset Forest and possibly Star Dou Great Forest for heavenly treasures, ordering the Tenth Elder to accompany him. She wondered how Dugu Bo’s meeting with the boy had gone while rubbing her stomach and complaining about the little brats eating so much.

• The Ninth Elder suggested that the poison resembled Dugu Bo’s miasma and that the place might hold his collection.

• The Tenth Elder’s smug expression froze when he realized he had been assigned to the search.
• Ling Yuan Douluo watched the elders’ exchange and felt glad she did not have to take on such work.
• Qian Renxue wondered how Dugu Bo’s visit with the boy had gone and complained that the little brats could really eat.

• Chen Yue accused Huo Lie and Huo Wu of eavesdropping around the corner.
• After Huo Wu nodded that Huo Lie had made her wait, Chen Yue pulled her behind him and criticized Huo Lie for eavesdropping on bedroom affairs.
