• Feng Chen explained himself to Sirin and Bella, but they threatened to make him stop liking Rita's type, so he cut off his Honkai Energy and restrained them.

Feng Chen told Sirin, Rita, Bianca, and Bella the Qixi legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but his jokes about taking Weaver Girl’s clothes and Rita being his wife provoked the women.
