Meanwhile, Qian Renxue discovered that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were searching for Danheng and sent She Long to investigate a Herb Garden instead.

• Di Tian teased Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about his past, and the silkworm agreed to stop trying to escape rather than have his secrets exposed.

• Bibi Dong assigned Yue Guan to accompany her and handed his workload to Guimei, who complained about the extra duties.
