Chapter Summaries

Kiana used Qing Que’s wish for three months of leave to draw her into operating the Qiong Guan Array, which began locating disguised Buli Ren while the hunt for Hulei continued. Back aboard the train, Kiana complained that reality lacked convenient plot twists, and the others reacted with relief to March 7th’s sensible remark before Kiana interrupted her.

• Kiana gave Qing Que three days off, then disguised herself as a Land God and changed Qing Que’s leave request to three months.

• March 7th objected that such convenient events belonged in plays, prompting Himeko and the others to look relieved before Kiana interrupted her.

As the Martial Arts Ceremony began, Hulei attacked the event, and Kiana rushed out after repeated banging interrupted her wash, accidentally kicking her door into a Buli Ren.

• Feixiao stopped Kiana from killing Motu and took over the cleanup and interrogation in Changle Heaven.

• Hulei grew bored, kicked Yanqing away, and grabbed him, but a brief loss of strength let Yanqing escape as Hulei's wounds reopened and leaked purple vapor.

Yanqing, March 7th, and Yunli defeated the poisoned Hulei after Yanqing unleashed a powerful ice sword technique, and Kiana arrived in time to save him. Kiana then healed the injured at the Martial Arts Ceremony, easing the hidden ailments of Xianzhou natives and Foxfolk.

• Hulei’s poison weakened him enough for Yanqing, March 7th, and Yunli to withstand his attacks, and Yanqing froze him with a new sword technique.

• Feixiao evacuated the Cloud Knights and placed her weapon before Kiana, March 7th, and the others, entrusting the matter to them.

Kiana entered Fei Xiao’s consciousness and helped her recover; the Wolf Hunt ended, and Kiana and March 7th left to find Stelle and check on Changle Heaven.

• Ling Sha and the others woke up, recoiled from Himeko’s coffee, and Jing Yuan suppressed the incident; Ling Sha took a sample away in a sealed container.
• At the Stellaron Hunters’ base, Kafka and Silver Wolf tried to restrain Blade as he attempted to return to the Luofu, but Sam could not stop him without injuring him.

Kiana revealed that she had told Blade about Bailu’s kidnapping, then tried to get Fu Xuan to pass a message to Jingliu before settling in for the night. The Martial Arts Ceremony began a day late, where March 7th faced Scott, whose account of a company mission left Topaz increasingly unsettled as she checked the planet’s records.
