Gu Yuena’s plan for Bi Ji and Zi JI to bear children with Xiao Yi left Gu Yuena watching their night together, and Bi Ji tended to Xiao Yi the next morning.

• Xiao Yi comforted the sulking Gu Yuena and took her to the Tang Sect's underground chamber.
• Several days later, Xiao Yi, Ling Luochеn, Huo Yutong, and Cang Ling reached the location Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had identified in the Far North.
• Huo Yutong summoned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who confirmed their location and sent out his spiritual power to provoke Ice Empress.
• Xiao Yi and the others waited, but Ice Empress did not appear or release any sign of Soul Power.
• Ice Empress sensed the disturbance but stayed in seclusion beside Snow Empress's badly damaged Ice Cocoon, remembering how she had saved Snow Empress from a human.

The Ice Empress rushed to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, hoping to obtain life force to save the Snow Empress. Xiao Yi subdued her, then stopped her from self-destructing by mentioning the Snow Empress, leaving the Ice Empress willing to do anything to protect her.

• The Ice Empress realized the Snow Empress’s stalled transformation could only be saved with pure life force or exceptionally pure ice origin power, and flew toward the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

• Believing the group might harm Xue’er, the Ice Empress collapsed and begged them to spare her, offering to do anything they wanted.

Xiao Yi secured Ice Empress’s agreement to become Yu Tong’s Martial Soul after learning that Snow Empress was in danger. Ice Empress begged him to save Snow Empress, and Xiao Yi prepared to name his condition.

• Ice Empress agreed to become Yu Tong’s Martial Soul after Tian Meng explained the God-Making Project, provided Xiao Yi and the others swore not to harm Snow Empress.
• Xiao Yi and the others swore by their Martial Souls, and Ice Empress learned that Xiao Yi had used life force to give Tian Meng a temporary physical form.
• Ice Empress explained that Snow Empress had suffered a disaster and that she had captured Tian Meng to use his life force to help her.

Xiao Yi and Electrolux discovered that Snow Empress’s damaged Ice Cocoon could only be restored through a connection to her Martial Soul, and Xiao Yi proposed a Beast Soul Contract as the solution. Ice Empress was left agonizing over whether to accept the arrangement to save Snow Empress.

• Huo Yutong recalled Tian Meng into her body before he could provoke Xiao Yi further, and Xiao Yi agreed to inspect Snow Empress.
• Xiao Yi tried to restore the Ice Cocoon with Living Gold and Bone Spirit Cold Flame, but the life force immediately flowed back out.
• Electrolux examined Snow Empress and explained that her missing Martial Soul Origin prevented external energy from reaching her.
• Xiao Yi explained that a Beast Soul Contract could connect to Snow Empress’s Martial Soul, then made clear that Ice Empress had to become Huo Yutong’s Second Martial Soul.
• Ice Empress suggested using Xiao Bai instead, but Xiao Yi rejected the idea of a male Soul Beast becoming Huo Yutong’s Second Martial Soul.
• Unable to find another way to save Snow Empress, Ice Empress struggled with the choice and pleaded inwardly for a solution.

Xiao Yi helped the Snow Empress restore her damaged origin and take human form, with Ice Empress acting as the channel for his life force. The Snow Empress survived, but she emerged as a girl the same height as Ice Empress and appeared dazed.

• Ice Empress prepared to bring Little White to help save the Snow Empress, but Xiao Yi told her he would not force her and said their lives now belonged to more than themselves.

After the Snow Empress fell asleep, Xiao Yi told Huo Yutong that the Ice Empress could no longer become her second Martial Soul and proposed the Bone Chilling Flame as a replacement.

• The Snow Empress became fixated on Xiao Yi's Life Flame, pushed past the Ice Empress, and sucked life force from Xiao Yi's fingertip.
• The Snow Empress briefly returned to her mature form, summoned a sword to keep the Ice Empress away, then shrank and settled into Xiao Yi's arms to continue absorbing life force.
• After taking in enough energy, the Snow Empress returned to the Ice Empress and fell asleep while hugging her tail.
• Xiao Yi told the worried Ice Empress that the Snow Empress was safe and would recover as her consciousness returned to normal.
• Outside the cave, Xiao Yi explained the situation to Huo Yutong and proposed that she absorb the Bone Chilling Flame instead of receiving the Ice Empress as her second Martial Soul.
• Huo Yutong agreed to follow Xiao Yi's instructions, while Ling Luochen concluded that Xiao Yi preferred petite women.
