Ning Rongrong arranged for Leng Yulai to take her divine sense into the God of Love Festival’s Small World and observe the heirs of the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life.

• Ning Rongrong ordered Leng Yulai to carry a medium containing her divine sense into the festival’s Small World and postponed meeting the Sea God’s wife until afterward.
• Xiao Wu watched several women leave Huo Yuhao’s room during the night, then returned to her room rather than approach him.

Zhu Zhuqing learned that Xiao Wu was safe and that the blond young man beside her was called Spirit Ice, while the God of Love suspected he might be Huo Yuhao and forced Zhu Zhuqing to carry out a humiliating task to test him.

• Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Lan what lay beyond the sea, and Ning Rongrong decided to prepare a special overture for him.

Na Nali tried to monopolize Huo Yuhao’s attention on the beach, but Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared in a maid outfit and announced she would serve as his personal maid. When Xiao Wu recognized her, Zhu Zhuqing denied her identity and claimed to be a different Zhu Family member named Xiao Mei.

• Na Nali sent Xiao Lan away, then clung to Huo Yuhao and asked him for a reward for supposedly protecting him the previous night.

• Xiao Wu noticed that the woman’s heterochromatic eyes and facial features differed subtly from Zhu Zhuqing’s.

Xiao Wu recognized Zhu Zhuqing, learned that the God of Love had forced her into a task to test whether Spirit Ice was Huo Yuhao, and promised to help her.

Xiao Wu tried to persuade Zhu Zhuqing to complete the God of Love’s intimate-contact mission by having Huo Yuhao apply sunscreen, while also probing his connection to the Sea God Divinity. Huo Yuhao avoided touching Xiao Wu by having Na Nali take over, but Zhu Zhuqing then asked him to apply sunscreen to her, leaving him reluctant to cross that boundary.

• Zhu Zhuqing arrived in a swimsuit and asked Huo Yuhao to apply sunscreen to her back.
• Huo Yuhao suggested that Na Nali help Zhu Zhuqing instead, saying it would be more convenient for the women to help one another.

Huo Yuhao, disguised as Spirit Ice, suspected that Zhu Zhuqing had been forced into an intimate task by the God of Love and agreed to apply sunscreen to help her. As his touch stirred memories of their past training sessions, Zhu Zhuqing questioned whether he was really Huo Yuhao, while memories revealed how he had once advised and cared for her in the God Realm.

• Zhu Zhuqing proposed that Spirit Ice apply sunscreen so she could grow accustomed to the physical contact required of her as his maid, and planned to leave once her task was complete.
• Huo Yuhao suspected the God of Love had imposed an intimate Dare on Zhu Zhuqing, so he agreed to help without revealing his identity.
• Zhu Zhuqing undid her swimsuit straps and lay facedown as Huo Yuhao applied sunscreen, but she sensed no bloodline resonance and wondered if he was truly Yuhao.

Zhu Zhuqing confronted the God of Love after realizing Spirit Ice was Huo Yuhao, but Ning Rongrong used Xiao Lan’s body to pressure her into continuing the mission. Zhu Zhuqing left with the indecent tools, while Ning Rongrong revealed she could control whether Zhu Zhuqing sensed the promised bloodline resonance.

• After Xiao Lan delivered a bag of indecent tools and warned Zhu Zhuqing about the mission’s consequences, Zhu Zhuqing picked up the parcel and left.
• Watching through a light screen, Ning Rongrong said she could make Zhu Zhuqing sense the bloodline resonance whenever she chose.

Ning Rongrong privately explained that she had manipulated Zhu Zhuqing to push Xiao Wu toward Huo Yuhao because she needed to survive. Meanwhile, Ha Luosa secured the Abyssal Sage King's cooperation by promising him Yun Ming as a vessel, while Zhu Zhuqing dragged Xiao Wu away from Spirit Ice before their closeness could lead to an irreversible revelation.

• Ning Rongrong admitted to herself that she had misled Zhu Zhuqing to make Xiao Wu take the initiative with Huo Yuhao, and said she needed to survive until the story ended.

• Zhu Zhuqing pulled Xiao Wu away from the beach, alarmed that Xiao Wu planned to keep spending time with Spirit Ice, who was actually Huo Yuhao.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu tried to escape the God of Love’s isolated Small World, but Ning Rongrong, controlled by the God of Love, punished Zhu Zhuqing and threatened to alter her memories. Huo Yuhao intervened, and Zhu Zhuqing recognized him as Spirit Ice, leaving Xiao Wu to confront her complicated feelings and past grievances.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Xiao Wu that the God of Love required her to get closer to Spirit Ice, including wearing revealing clothing and visiting his room, so the two planned to escape the Small World.

Zhu Zhuqing awoke in what seemed to be the God Realm of the past and hid Huo Yuhao from Dai Mubai, who entered their room to search for a beauty he suspected Huo Yuhao was keeping there.

• Ning Rongrong explained that Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s resurrection plan threatened the Douluo Plane, and she admitted she had tested Huo Yuhao by trying to tie Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to him.

• Ning Rongrong regained consciousness, saw Xiao Wu clinging to Huo Yuhao, and secretly watched through a slit in her eyelids.

After Ning Rongrong claimed she had regained control of her body, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing tested her identity and pressured her to join them in keeping their secret. Huo Yuhao rejected her flirtation and ordered her to sign a soul contract and help defend the Douluo Plane from the Abyss Plane.

• After three days, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing confronted the pinned Ning Rongrong and accused her of her schemes against them.

• Huo Yuhao said he had no interest in her body and ordered her to maintain Universe Asking Love Valley, aid the Douluo Plane against the Abyss Plane, and sign a soul contract.

Huo Yuhao forced Ning Rongrong to agree to a contract, then summoned Leng Yaozhu to the Core Zone of Universe Asking Love Valley and revealed that he was Spirit Ice Douluo, the Spirit Pagoda’s founder.

• Leng Yaozhu feared Huo Yuhao would judge the Spirit Pagoda’s treatment of Soul Beasts, while Gu Yue wondered whether she could still approach him freely in front of her teacher.

Huo Yuhao chose Leng Yaozhu to lead the reformed Spirit Pagoda and arranged support for her, while Ning Rongrong discovered Universe Asking Love Valley had alienated the Federation’s leaders through its cruel God Trials. More than half a year later, the Federation announced a new partnership between the reformed valley and a merged Shrek and Sun Moon academy after military campaigns and tournament defeats shook public confidence.
