Chapter Summaries

After seven-year-old Qi Yan'er left home to find her mother, Qi Fan awakened the Daughter Development System and learned he could support her from a distance, though he was confined to a five-kilometer range. As Yan'er set out with her father’s magical-looking Treasure Box, she encountered a young man and a beautiful girl.

• Qi Fan raised Qi Yan'er alone after a mysterious woman left her as a baby with a letter saying she was his daughter.
• Yan'er left a letter saying she had gone to find her mother and explore the outside world, trusting strangers to respect Qi Fan’s name.
• Qi Fan rushed out to search for Yan'er, and the Daughter Development System activated after both his wife and daughter had left letters and disappeared.
• The system bound Qi Fan to Qi Yan'er, awarded him 100,000 Points, and let him monitor and aid her, but restricted his movement to five kilometers from the village.
• Yan'er traveled with the four-layer Treasure Box Qi Fan had filled with supplies and tricks, then saw a young man and a beautiful girl approaching.

Qi Fan used the Daughter Development System to check in around Luo Fan Village and gained points and a Qi Gathering Powder while Qi Yan'er met Nalan Yanran on the road to Wu Tan City. Yan'er joined Nalan Yanran, while Mo Li grew resentful, and Qi Fan was left alone in the village.

• Qi Fan checked in at locations around Luo Fan Village, gained 150,000 points and a Qi Gathering Powder, and saw that his cultivation had reached Five Star Dou Zhe through Qi Yan'er.

• Mo Li became furious at Yan'er's insults and Nalan Yanran's rebukes, while Qi Fan sneezed alone in his kitchen and lamented living by himself.

Qi Yan'er, Nalan Yanran, and Mo Li stopped at a remote tea pavilion, where the food and drink were poisoned and a mercenary gang revealed its intentions. Mo Li fought back but was badly injured by He Meng, and he tried to save himself by declaring that he was a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.

• Qi Yan'er sized up Nalan Yanran and plotted to bring her to the village as a potential second wife for her father.
• Mo Li sensed danger at the isolated tea pavilion and warned Nalan Yanran, but she ignored him and went inside with Qi Yan'er.
• Qi Yan'er ordered beef and wine, and she told Nalan Yanran that her father treated her well and had given her a Treasure Box.

• Mo Li defeated four mercenaries, but He Meng revealed himself as an Eight Star Dou Zhe and struck Mo Li down.
• He Meng threatened the injured Mo Li, who pleaded for his life by revealing he was a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Mo Li exposed Nalan Yanran’s identity and tried to save himself by offering her to He Meng, who ordered his men to take Mo Li away and prepared to seize Nalan Yanran. Qi Yan’er used Qi Fan’s powerful sleeping medicine to knock out He Meng and the mercenaries, then checked on Nalan Yanran.

• Mo Li revealed that he was a Misty Cloud Sect disciple and Mo Clan young master, but He Meng dismissed his threats and attacked him.

• Qi Yan’er kicked He Meng and called out to Nalan Yanran.

After Qi Yan'er rescued Nalan Yanran from mercenaries, Nalan Yanran learned that the seven-year-old had Five Stages Dou Qi and believed her father might be a hidden expert. Uneasy about traveling alone with Qi Yan'er, Nalan Yanran fired a signal arrow for backup.

• Nalan Yanran grew wary of traveling alone with Qi Yan'er and fired a signal arrow, leaving Qi Yan'er confused.

Nalan Yanran and Qi Yan'er traveled toward Wu Tan City with Ge Ye after Yan'er saved Yanran from mercenaries. They left Mo Li behind, where He Meng captured him, and Yan'er supported Yanran's decision to annul her engagement.

• Ge Ye arrived on a blue eagle and learned that Qi Yan'er had rescued Nalan Yanran from mercenaries after Mo Li abandoned her.
• Ge Ye praised Yan'er for identifying He Meng and prepared to take the girls to Wu Tan City.
• Ge Ye, Nalan Yanran, and Qi Yan'er flew away, leaving the injured Mo Li behind.
• He Meng found Mo Li and ordered his men to carry him back alive so the mercenaries could use him as a hostage.
• During the flight, Nalan Yanran told Yan'er she sought to annul her engagement because she refused to let others control her fate, and Yan'er agreed.

Ge Ye brought Nalan Yanran and Qi Yan'er to Wu Tan City to meet with the Xiao Clan, drawing the attention of the city's three great clans. Xiao Yan learned that Nalan Yanran had arrived and mistakenly believed she was bringing a child to break off their engagement.

• Qi Yan'er marveled at Wu Tan City and explored its streets with Nalan Yanran while the locals recognized their Misty Cloud Sect robes.
• Xiao Zhan gathered the Xiao Clan elders and went to welcome Ge Ye, while Jia Liebi and Ao Bapa feared the Xiao Clan had gained a powerful ally.

• Xiao Yan asked whether Nalan Yanran had come to break off their engagement while carrying a child.

Xiao Yan arrived at the Xiao Family Hall to meet Nalan Yanran and the Misty Cloud Sect guests, where the elders’ deliberate snub was interrupted by Xiao Xun’er. Qi Yan’er became interested in Xun’er, while Xiao Yan’s disturbing fixation on the little girl left Xun’er newly wary of him.

• Xiao Yan entered the hall, noticed the powerful Ge Ye and the young Nalan Yanran beside Qi Yan’er, and stared at Qi Yan’er until she called him a creep.
• Xiao Yan found that the elders had left no seat for him, and the Second Elder pretended to have forgotten him.
• Xiao Xun’er offered Xiao Yan her seat, prompting Qi Yan’er to suspect that he was more than a useless good-for-nothing and to mark Xun’er as her second target.
• Xiao Yan recognized the Misty Cloud Sect guests and asked Xun’er whether the little girl could be Nalan Yanran’s child.
• Xiao Xun’er realized Xiao Yan might have entertained an abnormal thought about the child and regarded him with a cold, suspicious gaze.

Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Zhan to dissolve her engagement to Xiao Yan on behalf of the Misty Cloud Sect’s Sect Mistress, provoking Xiao Zhan into unleashing his Dou Qi. As the pressure threatened Qi Yan’er, Qi Fan exchanged Points for a Qi Dissolving Pill to protect her.

• Xiao Xun'er remembered that Xiao Yan had once sneaked into her room and shifted away from him, while Qi Yan’er watched and hoped they would fall out.
• Ge Ye told Xiao Zhan that the Misty Cloud Sect’s Sect Mistress wanted the engagement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan dissolved because Yanran was being groomed as the next Sect Mistress.
• Xiao Zhan shattered his jade cup and erupted in anger, summoning a lion-shaped mass of Dou Qi.
• Ge Ye moved to protect Nalan Yanran as his own aura clashed with Xiao Zhan’s, and the pressure made Qi Yan’er uncomfortable.
• Qi Fan received a system alert that Qi Yan’er needed a Qi Dissolving Pill and exchanged 10,000 Points for one.

At the Xiao Clan, Nalan Yanran's attempt to annul her engagement provoked Xiao Zhan, while Qi Yan'er humorously claimed to be Nalan Yanran's daughter. Ge Ye presented a Qi Gathering Powder refined by Gu He as an apology, but Yan'er questioned whether the Pill King was really so impressive.

• Xiao Zun'er noticed Qi Yan'er remained unaffected by Xiao Zhan and Ge Ye's Dou Qi pressure and watched them with amusement.
• The Elders stopped Xiao Zhan from escalating the confrontation, and he reproached Nalan Yanran for her boldness.
• Qi Yan'er called Xiao Zhan "Little Mustache" and introduced herself as Nalan Yanran's daughter, shocking everyone in the hall.
• Xiao Zhan rejected Nalan Yanran's attempt to address him as her uncle and told her to find someone surnamed Qi instead.
• Ge Ye presented a Qi Gathering Powder refined by Gu He as the Misty Cloud Sect's apology, and the Xiao Clan Elders praised the Pill King's reputation.
• Qi Yan'er asked whether Pill King Gu He was really that impressive.

Qi Yan’er challenged the Xiao Clan Elders’ disbelief in her father’s skill and revealed a Rank 6 Pill, while Qi Fan exchanged points to provide it for her. The Xiao Clan and Ge Ye were left stunned by the pill’s grade.

• Qi Yan’er dismissed Pill King Gu He as inferior to her daddy, and Ge Ye defended her while suspecting her father was an exceptional alchemist.
• The Xiao Clan Elders demanded proof of Qi Yan’er’s claims, and she agreed to show them something from her Small Wooden Box.

• In the Xiao Family Hall, Qi Yan’er produced the pill and said her daddy had casually scooped it from a pot with a shovel.
• Ge Ye and the others recognized the pill as Rank 6 and reacted with shock.

Qi Yan'er’s Rank 6 pill stunned the Xiao Clan and revealed the extraordinary power attributed to her father, while Nalan Yanran continued trying to end her engagement to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan argued that the family elders had to approve the breakup, and Yan'er proposed digging up the Xiao family’s old master to get his word.

• Qi Yan'er showed Ge Ye a Rank 6 pill her father had made in a pot, shocking everyone with the implication that he was an exceptionally powerful alchemist.
• Ge Ye identified the pill as a Disaster Breaking Pill, and Xiao Xun'er realized its ingredients came from the Snake-People Race’s territory in the Tagor Desert.
• Xiao Zhan prepared to accept Ge Ye’s gift, but Xiao Yan objected to the engagement being broken off and challenged the Elders to imagine the same happening to their own descendants.
• Xiao Yan asked whether Old Master Nalan had approved the breakup, and Nalan Yanran admitted he had not but claimed he would agree if he knew about Yan'er.
• Xiao Yan insisted the engagement could not be dissolved without the old masters’ approval, so Qi Yan'er told him to dig up the Xiao family’s old master.

Nalan Yanran tried to end her engagement to Xiao Yan, while Qi Yan'er pressured him and mocked his refusal. Xiao Yan eventually offered to accept the breakup if Qi Yan'er could defeat him in a spar.

• Qi Yan'er suggested digging up Xiao Yan's grandfather, and Xiao Zhan stopped the Great Elder from objecting before urging Xiao Yan to accept the engagement's dissolution.
• Nalan Yanran offered Xiao Yan more Qi Gathering Powders and a chance to cultivate at the Misty Cloud Sect, but he threatened to kill her instead.
• Qi Yan'er mocked Xiao Yan as a simp and warned that the Misty Cloud Sect Mistress could come to the Xiao Clan if he kept pestering Nalan Yanran.
• Xiao Yan argued that the public breakup would damage Xiao Zhan's standing as Clan Head, prompting Qi Yan'er to challenge him to a spar, with the engagement at stake.

Qi Yan'er challenged Xiao Yan to a spar over the marriage agreement and defeated him with a single palm, revealing her fifth-stage Dou Qi. Xiao Yan agreed to cancel the agreement but declared he would rise again, while Qi Yan'er dismissed his boast.

• Qi Yan'er agreed to spar with Xiao Yan, and Xiao Zhan set the marriage agreement as the stake despite her insistence that she would tell her daddy if she lost.
• Xiao Yan attacked Qi Yan'er without holding back, but she met his fist with her palm and sent him flying.

• Xiao Yan agreed to cancel the marriage agreement and vowed to rise again, declaring that Nalan Yanran should never bully a young man because he was poor.
• Qi Yan'er mocked Xiao Yan for calling himself a young man and said he would remain beneath her even after three hundred years.

Qi Yan'er and Nalan Yanran humiliated Xiao Yan, annulled his engagement, and left the Xiao Family Hall with Xiao Xun'er, who invited them to talk. Meanwhile, Xiao Yan woke in his room and discovered that a mysterious voice was speaking from his mother's black ring.

• Xiao Xun'er invited Qi Yan'er and Nalan Yanran to talk in the city, and they left with her.

• Xiao Yan's black ring rolled into the restaurant and stopped at Qi Yan'er's feet, and she picked it up.

Qi Yan'er threw away a black ring that contained Yao Chen, who decided to seek her as his new disciple. The ring returned to Xiao Xun'er with Galeo, who offered it to her alongside a bracelet.

• Qi Yan'er found a black ring at her feet and tossed it out the window, while Xiao Xun'er recognized it as the ring Xiao Yan always wore.
• The ring landed in a wine jar, where Yao Chen lamented being discarded again and resolved to pursue Qi Yan'er as a potential disciple.
• Galeo arrived at the tavern after hearing Xiao Xun'er was upstairs and picked up the spinning ring on his way in.
• Galeo approached Xiao Xun'er, ignored her attempts to dismiss him, and offered her a bracelet and the ring as gifts.
• Xiao Xun'er recognized the ring Qi Yan'er had thrown away and wondered how it had returned so quickly.

At a restaurant in Wu Tan City, Qi Yan'er rejected Galeo’s gifts and offered Xiao Xun'er a bottle of cultivation-enhancing liquid from her father. Yao Chen recognized it as Foundation Establishment Liquid, and the chapter ended with everyone stunned when Yan'er said her father had mixed it with well water.

• Galeo offered Xiao Xun'er a ring and necklace, but Qi Yan'er called him a simp and revealed that Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran were present.
• Qi Yan'er pointed out that Galeo had picked up the ring she had thrown away, then said Xiao Xun'er should receive gifts from her father instead.

• Qi Yan'er offered Xiao Xun'er the liquid, prompting Yao Chen to recognize it as Foundation Establishment Liquid and wonder whether Yan'er was connected to Han Feng.
• Qi Yan'er said her father had mixed the cultivation-enhancing liquid with well water, shocking Xiao Xun'er, Yao Chen, and the others.

Qi Yan'er gave Xiao Xun'er a bottle of cultivation-enhancing medicinal liquid and showed that she could see through the people around her. After Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye left Wu Tan City, He Meng and two allies ambushed them, and Qi Yan'er rushed to save Yanran.

• Qi Yan'er explained that her father’s medicinal liquid could be diluted to increase cultivation speed, and she gave a bottle to Xiao Xun'er, who realized Yan'er had seen through her Nine Stages Dou Qi strength.

• Ge Ye confronted Mu She, He Meng, and Gan Mu, then fought off their flying Magical Beasts as the mercenaries attacked from the air.
• A flying Magical Beast knocked Nalan Yanran from Ge Ye’s goshawk, and Mu She’s men seized her while keeping Ge Ye occupied.
