After Jiang Lan reached level sixty-three by eating the special fried chicken, he took the Gugas and Doro to the seaside for a swimming race. The Evil Orca King spotted them and attacked, but Little Guga and Fat Little Guga knocked him into the air and onto a small island.
Jiang Lan and the Little Gugas confronted the Evil Orca King after he charged at them, and they battered him repeatedly until he floated unconscious on the sea. The Evil Spirit Orcas watched from a distance as their king was defeated.
Jiang Lan defeated the Evil Orca King and persuaded him to stop challenging him, while the king’s followers agreed to hide his humiliation. Jiang Lan returned to Sea God Island with the Little Gugas and prepared to grill fish.
Jiang Lan grilled fish with the Little Gugas and Doro on the beach, then sent the five Little Gugas back through his formation and carried the sleepy Doro to the Sea God Palace. He returned to Bo Saixi, who found him drinking seafood congee straight from the pot.
Jiang Lan asked Bo Saixi to let him build a Soul Tool workshop on Sea God Island, and she approved the plan with conditions. He ended the night planning to inspect the proposed site in the Western Reef Area.
Jiang Lan found a reef platform that he planned to turn into a workshop for underwater Soul Tools. At the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen confronted the sect’s troubled past and asked Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua what they thought about the four great clans leaving.
Tang Chen learned that Tang Yuehua loved Tang Hao, then went to the rear mountain and found Tang San fighting Tang Tian over Tang Tian calling him a mongrel. The fight stopped at Tang Chen’s command, but Tang Tian stood by his insult, leaving Tang Chen exasperated with the Clear Sky Sect.
Lan Fozi brought Jiang Lan to meet her mother, the Demon Empress, who questioned how he had made the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King flee. After hearing that her husband had promised to avoid Jiang Lan, the Demon Empress suspected the child was secretly his.
Jiang Lan gave the Demon Empress pills and dried grilled fish, earning her approval and an invitation to visit again. After hearing how long Jiang Lan’s fights with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King lasted, the Demon Empress suspected her husband was meeting a lover and left to confront him.
Jiang Lan accidentally led the Demon Empress to believe that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had been seeing another fish, so she confronted and attacked him. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fled, insisting he was innocent.
Jiang Lan prepared to leave Sea God Island for Heaven Dou City after arranging the Workshop, but the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King arrived battered and blamed him for a quarrel with his wife. Lan Fozi backed Jiang Lan, leaving the whale king to accept his new place in the household.
Jiang Lan taunted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King after the Sea God chained him in place, then used a giant tree as a baseball bat and struck him on the head. The whale king was left furious and trapped as Jiang Lan declared the bat worked well.
Jiang Lan beat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King into submission, then left with Doro while Lan Fozi stayed behind. Back in his territory, the battered whale king met the equally injured Evil Orca King, and the two recognized each other’s misfortune.
The Evil Orca King and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King agreed to join forces against Jiang Lan after he humiliated them, planning to meet again in half a year. Back on Sea God Island, Jiang Lan told Bo Saixi what happened and asked to visit Heaven Dou City to see Zhu Zhuqing and inspect his Honey Snow Ice City branches.
Jiang Lan returned to Heaven Dou City with Zhu Zhuyun and Doro, expecting to check on his milk tea shop and reunite with his friends. Ning Rongrong welcomed him enthusiastically, then wondered why he had not grown at all during the years he was away.
