• Himeko suggested Murata Ryusuke get a health checkup, leaving him stunned that she seemed to take Chen Li’s side.

Feiying’s second personality briefly took over after drinking coffee mixed with Raiden Ei’s chicken soup, and it revealed an unusual affinity between Chen Li and the Path of Abundance. Feiying tried to investigate that connection herself, but Yao Guang arrived and interrupted her before they could leave for Haiyuan City.

• Feiying’s second personality called Chen Li her benefactor, licked his cheek, and said he tasted like home before Chen Li flicked her forehead and brought Feiying back to herself.
• Chen Li threatened to use the Monkey Talisman on Feiying’s fox ears, and Feiying apologized while claiming her second personality was responsible.
