• In Lin An’s dream, Gu Yue killed the Black-Robed Person, clung to Lin An, and revealed that the strange touch had been her dragon tail.

Lin An recovered after an Evil Spirit Master’s curse, while Wu Zhangkong questioned how Gu Yue had entered unseen. Above Eastsea City, the True God-Grade mecha Rainbow Light Verdict deployed its artificial soul, Shadow Brake, and scanned the city, leaving Leng Yaozhu wary of its presence and its potential reaction to Gu Yue and Lin An.

• Wu Zhangkong checked Lin An, found his mental injury minor, and wondered why the mecha had not stopped the curse.

• Lin An rested in bed while Gu Yue sat beside him, eating pastries and calling him “Wifey.”

Gu Yue studied Lin An’s communicator and discovered Leng Yaozhu had invited him to the Spirit Pagoda to discuss a rare Space-Time Type Soul Beast. As Gu Yue wondered if she would be bringing her partner to meet the parents, Lin An asked what she was to him and whether she was a male or female dragon, and she explained that Dragon Clan gender could change with strength and preference.

• Gu Yue said Dragon Clan gender was not absolute, explaining that her first incarnation was female but she could change if Lin An wanted.

• Lin An saw Tang Wulin blush and concluded that Tang Wulin might have romantic feelings for him, while Gu Yue was still pursuing him as a dragoness.

• Lin An told Tang Wulin he would provide the two items without repayment, but would stay beside him while Tang Wulin took them because their opposing effects could harm his body.

• Lin An returned to the dormitory with Tang Wulin and Xie Xie as students crowded the corridor to see him.
• Ouyang Zixin asked Lin An to speak privately, but he firmly rejected her, and she cried as she explained that she had fallen for him.
