• Song Shuhang sat down at the restaurant as Chu Chu began cooking, and A Sixteen added him as a contact after finishing her secluded cultivation.

• Puppet Fairy explained that a Heavenly Dipper strengthened a Sixth-Grade True Lord's Life Wheel, and Song Shuhang asked what happened if someone had no Lake Soul.
