• After Raiden Ei and Yae Miko returned to their worlds, Rui Xue'er told Bai Ran not to visit while she and Xiao Bing prepared for their matches, and Bai Ran wondered who had given him the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

• Bai Ran rejected Phainon, while Tang San in the Divine Realm sensed a great terror and feared a powerful plane had invaded.
• A bloodstained figure in a black robe appeared before Bai Ran, said they thought they were dead, and collapsed on the floor.

Bai Ran tried to save a badly wounded, mysterious stranger but lacked proper healing supplies and had to treat their injuries himself. Rui Xue'er misunderstood the scene and left angrily, while Little Ice took over the treatment and sent Bai Ran after her.

• Bai Ran discovered that the masked stranger's identity and gender were difficult to determine, and that his Soul Power could not probe them properly.
• Bai Ran realized the stranger was losing blood and, unable to find a healing Soul Master, began treating their wounds with a knife, alcohol, and gauze.
• Rui Xue'er arrived with snacks and mistook Bai Ran's treatment of the stranger's inner-thigh wound for an intimate encounter.
• The unconscious stranger murmured about Grandpa taking Little Xue'er home, making Rui Xue'er even more suspicious before she left with the snacks.
• Little Ice recognized the blood and helped Bai Ran continue treating the stranger, then urged him to explain himself to Rui Xue'er.

Bai Ran caught up with Rui Xue'er and explained that the injured mysterious woman in the shop was a summoned temporary worker, then agreed to spend five days serving Rui Xue'er coffee whenever she wanted. When they returned, Little Ice had treated the woman's wounds and revealed that her blood carried a trace of divinity, which tempted Rui Xue'er.

• Bai Ran caught up with Rui Xue'er and offered to buy her coffee after she had turned away from him.

• Rui Xue'er rejected Bai Ran's offers of five, fifty, five hundred, and five thousand cups before demanding five days of unlimited coffee service, and Bai Ran agreed.
• Bai Ran and Rui Xue'er returned to the shop, where Little Ice had finished treating the mysterious woman's wounds.
• Little Ice told Rui Xue'er that the woman's blood had a peculiar flavor because it retained a trace of divinity, and Rui Xue'er struggled to resist tasting it.

• Bai Ran and Rui Xue'er discussed Bai Ran’s inability to heal, and Bai Ran considered seeking a healing soul skill compatible with coffee.

Bai Ran explained that Raw Coconut Latte detoxified and refined bloodlines but could not restore vitality, then left to find a healer for the unconscious Qian Renxue. Raiden Ei and Yae Miko arrived for work and found Qian Renxue in Bai Ran’s bed with Little Ice.

• Bai Ran explained that his coffee could clear toxins and purify bloodlines but could not treat Qian Renxue’s blood loss.
• Bai Ran tried to carry Qian Renxue out of the shop, remembered she could not leave its bounds, and set out with Rui Xue'er to find a healer.
• Raiden Ei and Yae Miko arrived at the shop and went upstairs to look for Bai Ran.
• Yae Miko and Raiden Ei found Little Ice changing Qian Renxue’s bandages, and Yae Miko wondered who the injured woman was.

Bai Ran hired an elderly healing soul master to treat Qian Renxue, but the physician discovered a Title Douluo’s Soul Power mark and fled rather than risk offending its owner. With Qian Renxue’s forced return only twelve hours away, Bai Ran was left considering whether to ask Jing Hongchen for help, while Qian Renxue exaggerated her past escape to a subordinate.

• Bai Ran paid 5,000 Gold Soul Coins to hire a level-53 healing soul master after deciding not to seek help from the Sun Moon Royal Academy or Jing Hongchen.
• Bai Ran returned to the shop with the physician, sent Little Shenzi downstairs to work, and asked the old man to examine Qian Renxue.
• The physician treated Qian Renxue briefly, found a Title Douluo’s Soul Power mark in her body, and refused to continue for fear of retaliation.
• Bai Ran offered to raise the payment, but the physician returned most of the money and left, saying the matter was not about money.
• Bai Ran considered revealing Qian Renxue’s identity to Jing Hongchen and wondered whether a Luckin Raw Coconut Latte had saved her before.
• In a hidden small world, Qian Renxue claimed she had fought her way across the Empire with an Angel God Sword, while her subordinate recalled records saying she had fled and lost a shoe.

After Tang San abandoned Qian Renxue to the purges of the two great empires, she was gravely wounded in the Star Dou Great Forest and pulled into an unknown world. Bai Ran brought her to his shop and sought help, where Yae Miko claimed she could save her.

• Bai Ran considered asking Jing Hongchen for help, then asked Raiden Ei whether she could save Qian Renxue.
• Raiden Ei denied knowing how to heal, but Yae Miko said she could save Qian Renxue, and Raiden Ei confirmed that she could.

• Rui Xue'er and Xiao Bing questioned whether Yae Miko could treat Qian Renxue, while Bai Ran chose to trust her.
• Yae Miko refused medical tools and produced a porcelain bottle, claiming its Nine-Revolution Soul-Returning Pill could save anyone still breathing.
• Yae Miko privately told Raiden Ei that the pill was actually a Vitality Pill from Ganyu and said she had her own plan to save Qian Renxue.

Yae Miko gave the unconscious Qian Renxue a Nine-Revolution Soul-Returning Pill, and Bai Ran noticed that her condition seemed to improve. While they waited to see if Qian Renxue would wake, Bai Ran persuaded Miko to make Glutinous Rice Lemonade for the shop by promising her a share of the sales.

• Yae Miko performed a strange ritual before giving Qian Renxue the pill, while Raiden Ei played along and Bai Ran scattered glutinous rice at Miko.

• Yae Miko picked up the glutinous rice and learned that Bai Ran had bought it to develop Glutinous Rice Lemonade for the shop.
• Yae Miko tried to dissuade Bai Ran from adding the drink, but he insisted that it would join the menu.
• Bai Ran promised Miko 30 percent of the proceeds from each cup, and she went to make Glutinous Rice Lemonade.

Bai Ran found that Shenzi’s Glutinous Rice Lemonade lacked its usual aroma, until Rui Xue'er restored the flavor by adding her foot-washing water. Their argument about the secret ingredient was interrupted when Qian Renxue woke up.

Qian Renxue awoke in Bai Ran’s shop after he rescued her from three Clear Sky Sect Title Douluo. Still injured and resentful, she planned to recover before returning to fight them, while Bai Ran and the others argued with her about her disguise and the shop.

• Qian Renxue regained consciousness after taking a Nine-Revolution Soul-Returning Pill and recognized Bai Ran from their earlier meeting in another world.

Qian Renxue, feeling that she had lost everything, questioned the meaning of living, and Bai Ran offered her a job at his shop. She had not accepted, but the offer gave her a possible way to survive for centuries despite losing her godhood.

• Qian Renxue told Bai Ran she wished she had been a transmigrator like Tang San and lamented that she could not defeat him.
• Qian Renxue said she had no family, Spirit Hall, or future left, and explained why she had wanted to die fighting the Clear Sky Sect pursuers.
• Bai Ran joked about using a rope, prompting Rui Xue'er to nearly knock him unconscious for making light of Qian Renxue's despair.

• Qian Renxue considered that she had once been Spirit Hall's young mistress and wondered why she should work for Bai Ran, while Bai Ran noted that she might no longer have a home.

Qian Renxue accepted Bai Ran’s offer to become a full-time employee, and the contract’s divine power convinced her he might help her take revenge. In Bai Ran’s small world, the Silver Dragon King questioned why he wanted a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea beside the Luckin Coffee Shop.

• Yan Shaozhe arrived at Shrek Academy's rest area and praised the young team, especially Huo Yuhao, for reaching the tournament semifinal.
