Angelite began teaching her in a dream made almost indistinguishable from reality, aiming to have her master the spell within two days.

Jiang Han watched Eileen reveal her lavish Daughter of the Golden Land incarnation and learned how witches created incarnations as independent possibilities. The chapter ended with Big Eileen teasing that she and Eileen fought weekly before escaping the room.
