After greeting him eagerly, Tang Huo'er calmed down and explained that she had been familiarizing herself with the flame before attempting to subdue it.

• Tang Huo'er said she had delayed the attempt because she wanted to familiarize herself with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame first.

• Inside the Space Wormhole, Tang Huo'er slapped away Xiao Yan's wandering hand and warned him against fooling around there.

Xiao Yan returned to Danta with Tang Huo'er, reunited with his other women, and guided his three disciples in Alchemy. He used the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to seal Dan Chen's unusual constitution, leaving her able to control its effects herself, though the seals could absorb Dou Qi from people near her.
