• Nan Feng warned Su Ziran that a powerful Imperial City expert might threaten Black Crow City and went to ask Tang Yu for the Tang Family’s help.

• Nan Feng messaged Xiao Luo about scouting together, then pretended the City Lord’s Mansion was on fire to avoid traveling to meet him.
• Tang Xiaobao hurried toward Linjiang City with Tang One, Tang Two, Tang Four, Tang Five, Tang Six, and Tang Seven until Tang One relayed Tang Yu’s message that the city had already been taken.

Long Wudi’s army seized Ning City, and he killed its lord before dividing his forces to secure the city and attack Black Water City. Meanwhile, Xiao Luo sneaked into White Water City and recognized Shen Pan.

• Long Wudi’s one hundred thousand Chosen Ones overwhelmed Ning City’s defenders, and Long Wudi killed Ning Wuji after confirming Zhao Yao had died.

• Xiao Luo used a Teleportation Array to return to Black Crow City, and the sinister middle-aged man soon smashed apart the empty house while searching for him.

Nan Feng agreed to meet White Water City’s lord at Hu Teahouse, but suspected the invitation was an ambush and called South City’s brothers back for a meeting. In White Water City, Shen Pan was held under threat while he used a pill from Old Hu to keep Mu Mu alive, then left to hunt invaders.

• Nan Feng learned Dragon City was promoting cigars and planned to become its spokesperson so South City could share the profits.
• Shen Pan arranged for Nan Feng to meet White Water City’s lord at Hu Teahouse at nine that night, and Nan Feng suspected Shen Pan’s messages were coded warnings.
• Nan Feng decided the meeting might be a trap but feared Shen Pan’s life was at risk, so he summoned South City’s brothers.
• Geng Wu and Old Hu questioned Shen Pan about the meeting and verified that he had not warned Nan Feng of danger.
• Old Hu gave Shen Pan one pill, which Shen Pan fed to the captive Mu Mu before leaving to kill two invaders and earn another.

Nan Feng’s group realized Shen Pan was sending deliberately reversed messages because Wang Mumu had been captured by the White Water City natives. They planned separate missions to locate Wang Mumu and investigate the cities, while Xiao Luo went to Pear Blossom City to question Shen Pan in person.

• Nan Feng called a meeting to discuss rescuing Shen Pan, and Xiao Luo said Shen Pan had seemed free when he saw him the previous night.
• Huang Yuanming messaged Shen Pan and received a strangely worded reply about going to Pear Blossom City, prompting Nan Feng to recognize that Shen Pan was reversing his messages as a warning.
• Shen Pan sent another reversed message that led Nan Feng to conclude Wang Mumu had been captured and Shen Pan was cooperating with the White Water City natives to protect her.
• Ye Piaoling said Wang Mumu did not answer her message, and Xiao Luo warned that White Water City had three experts above level 40, making a direct rescue dangerous.
• Xiao Luo vanished to question Shen Pan in Pear Blossom City, while Nan Feng assigned Cheng Mo and Xiao Angran to join him, sent Su Ziran to investigate Linjiang City, and prepared to go to White Water City with Xiao Nan.

• Shen Pan fought Chida Kuaito, poisoned him with his dagger, and watched him die before taking a grayish-white orb from his body.
• Shen Pan wrapped Chida Kuaito’s corpse and headed toward White Water City, where Xiao Luo, Cheng Mo, and Xiao Angran intercepted him.
• Xiao Luo, Cheng Mo, and Xiao Angran questioned Shen Pan and learned that Wang Mumu was being held in White Water City.

• Su Yihan used Purification on Shen Pan, but she could not remove the curse.

Nan Feng infiltrated White Water City in disguise with Xiao Nan after Shen Pan revealed that Old Hu had cursed him and warned of powerful figures in the city. After learning that killing Old Hu would kill Shen Pan too, Nan Feng set his sights on the Hu Teahouse.

• Nan Feng decided to tear down the Hu Teahouse that night.

Nan Feng went to Hu Teahouse in White Water City to meet Bai Shan, knowing the meeting was a trap, while Xiao Nan carried out a separate task. The meeting erupted into a chase through the city, and Xiao Nan confronted a guard in the teahouse's backyard.

• Xiao Nan entered a thatched cottage and was stabbed through the neck, but she kept advancing and unnerved the person inside with a joke about milk tea leaking through the wound.

Xiao Nan rescued Wang Mumu from her captor but could not lift her curse, then hurried to help Nan Feng in White Water City. After Xiao Nan’s brick disrupted Old Hu and gave Nan Feng a chance to escape, Nan Feng returned injured to Black Crow City and called for healing and milk tea.

• Xiao Nan poisoned the man guarding Wang Mumu and found Wang Mumu hanging in the hut, but admitted she could not remove the curse.

• Xiao Nan headed out of White Water City, while Nan Feng returned to Black Crow City and called Su Yihan and the little healer to treat him.

Old Hu returned to the ruined Hu Teahouse, questioned Shen Pan about the dead men, and decided to keep him alive as bait for Nan Feng. Shen Pan pretended to cooperate, took an antidote, and secretly messaged Nan Feng that he and Mu Mu had escaped White Water City.

• Old Hu found Lu Gen and Chida Kuaito dead at the cottage and interrogated Shen Pan, who concealed that Xiao Nan had been there.
• Old Hu ordered Shen Pan to bury both corpses beneath the tea trees, then refused to give him an antidote and threatened to kill him and Wang Mumu at dawn.
• Shen Pan convinced Old Hu that Nan Feng might attack White Water City if Shen Pan died, so Old Hu gave him two antidotes and ordered him to lure Nan Feng outside the city.
• After Old Hu left to plan with the City Lord, Shen Pan secretly messaged Nan Feng to come pick him and Mu Mu up, claiming they had escaped White Water City.

Nan Feng’s group searched for ways to lift Shen Pan’s curse and learned that Su Yihan’s Purification Art might work once she reached Level 40. They arranged an around-the-clock leveling schedule, and Xiao Luo’s clone joined the hunt to protect her.

• Nan Feng asked the group for ways to lift Shen Pan’s curse, and Cheng Mo, Wu Yuansheng, and Huang Yuanming each proposed contacting someone who might help.

Su Ziran’s new administration distributed the Linjiang City Management Charter, surprising worried residents with policies including tax exemptions and welfare benefits. Gu Zhou headed to the City Lord’s Mansion to register and see whether the promised relief was real.

• An eleven- or twelve-year-old boy sold copies of the Linjiang Daily in Linjiang City, announcing that it contained the new city management charter.
• Gu Zhou bought a newspaper at a teahouse and began reading its policies to the assembled residents.
• The charter promised merchants a one-year tax exemption and introduced living allowances, free monthly medical examinations, sanitation rules, and penalties for immoral conduct.
• The residents doubted the invaders’ motives, but Gu Zhou ignored their warnings and hurried to the City Lord’s Mansion to register.

Su Ziran put the newspaper-selling boy in charge of raising money from Linjiang Daily, while Nan Feng considered how to remove Shen Pan’s curse. The chapter left Nan Feng and Xiao Nan heading to meet Shen Pan, with Sikong Boxue’s hypnosis kept as a last-resort plan.

• Gu Zhou confirmed that registering at the City Lord’s Mansion brought tax exemptions, and the boy sold his remaining newspapers to eager merchants.
• The boy brought his earnings to Su Ziran, who gave him a thousand more newspapers and challenged him to deliver one hundred thousand copper coins before nightfall.
• Su Ziran asked Huang Yuanming to watch over the boy, but Huang Yuanming was busy, so Xiao Luo agreed to send a clone toward Linjiang City.
• Nan Feng met Xiao Nan on the way back to White Water City and asked whether she knew anyone who could remove Shen Pan’s curse.

• Xiao Nan blamed Nan Feng for leaving her alone, then swallowed a seven-colored stone and raised her aura to match Prince Zhennan’s.

The kid borrowed one hundred thousand copper coins from Gu Zhou to fund his newspaper-selling operation, while Xiao Luo’s clones dealt with the beggars who had helped him. In Black Crow City, Ye Piaoling took the only pill that could delay Wang Mumu’s fatal curse and hurried to Dragon City to seek help identifying it.
