After the Goddess of Life predicted that Ye Xuan would seek the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Snow Empress, Ye Xuan asked Qian Daoliu and the Worshippers to accompany him to the Far North. They balked at the danger, and Ye Xuan appeared to accept their advice as he offered them valuable treasures.

• The Goddess of Life told the God of Destruction that Ye Xuan would likely choose the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion for his fifth Soul Ring and would avoid the Star Dou Great Forest’s Beast Kings.

• Ye Xuan said he would reconsider his fifth Soul Ring and produced six ten-thousand-year-old treasures for the Worshippers.

Ye Xuan traveled to the Far North to seek the Ice Empress as his fifth Soul Ring, but the Snow Empress refused and told Tian Meng to return when Ye Xuan reached Soul Saint and earned a divine position. Ye Xuan survived the encounter and revealed that he had another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in mind: the Mermaid Princess.

• Ye Xuan crawled out from beneath the ice, accepted that Tian Meng had failed, and said he had chosen the Mermaid Princess as his next target.

Ye Xuan and his advisers planned to capture the Merfolk princess, Liya, and waited for her to appear in the waters southeast of the Far North. Liya found Ye Xuan floating at sea and carried him toward a deserted island.

• Little Holy King and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained the Merfolk princess’s strength and helped Ye Xuan plan to capture her.

• The Merfolk princess brought Ye Xuan to a beach and checked on him, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Little Holy King trapped and subdued her.

• Li Jing rushed into the hall and asked why a member of their clan with the Golden Bloodline was imprisoned, but the Sea Princess told her Ye Xuan was human.

Ye Xuan tried to persuade the Sea Princess to entrust Liya and the Merfolk Golden Bloodline to him, then revealed Tian Meng and Little Holy King when the Sea Princess asked how he had absorbed Liya.

Ye Xuan controlled Bu Le, Tian Ya, and E Kao as part of a scheme aimed at Yu Xiaogang. At Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing refused Yu Xiaogang’s demand that she perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, kicked him hard enough to break his arm, and faced him as Flender arrived.
