• Xiao Wu teased Su Bei about measuring his growth, then backed down when Su Bei gestured toward Gu Yuena.
• A Soul Ancestor and a Soul Grandmaster finished absorbing Soul Spirits, advanced in rank, and revealed a ten-thousand-year Mighty Bear and a thousand-year Nine-Section Green Snake.

• Zhao Qingqing struggled through the trial; her Thunder Serpent Martial Soul had slowed her cultivation after she reached Soul Sage, and the crowd wondered whether the red Soul Spirit could overcome that bottleneck.

Zhao Qingqing fought the Azure Silver Mirror Dragon in the Spirit Soul Void Realm while Su Bei and Liu Erlong discussed the Ten Thousand Serpent Sect’s curse.

Su Bei realized he may have mistaken a marriage alliance for an exchange gathering, while Gong Yi was already preparing wedding invitations.

• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ten Thousand Serpent Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, and White Tiger Sect contacted the Hall of Divine Beauty about establishing branch sects, while Gu Yuena handled Spirit Pagoda affairs for Su Bei.

• Liu Erlong put fluffy slippers on Su Bei and asked about the accident he had mentioned.
• Zhao Qingqing reported that Su Bei's fans were causing a commotion and asked whether the marriage alliance was real.
• Gong Yi told Su Bei that the Heaven Dou royal family's dowry had arrived and that the intended bride had come with the gift convoy.
• Su Bei learned that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had sent word about the bride's arrival, though Su Bei himself had not known about the marriage.
• Gu Yuena teleported to Su Bei and demanded to know where the woman was so she could kill her.

• Su Bei told Gu Yuena that sleeping beside his little sister had been innocent.
• Gu Yuena replied that sleeping with his wife would be even more normal.

• Gu Yuena grabbed Su Bei and tried to drag him into an upstairs bedroom while Liu Erlong and the others could not stop her.
• The little divine girl confronted Gu Yuena and threatened to beat her if she did not let Su Bei go.
• Zhao Qingqing tried to calm the little divine girl, who urged the women to resist Gu Yuena and protect Su Bei.
• Su Bei stopped the argument and asked Gong Yi whether the summons described a marriage alliance between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Hall of Divine Beauty.

• Gong Yi explained that the Heaven Dou Empire had sent a woman to marry someone in the Hall of Divine Beauty, and Su Bei said he would decide who married her.

• Gu Yuena ordered Gong Yi to send the reply and notify Tang San, but Su Bei called for her to wait.

Su Bei tried to delay the Heaven Dou royal family's marriage proposal, insisting that he was protecting Tang San's choices, while Tang San was moved by his apparent concern. In the palace, Xue Ye weighed the risks of sending Xue Ke to the Hall of Divine Beauty as he considered Heaven Dou's fragile position among the continent's powers.

• Xue Ye recognized that the Heaven Dou royal family's legitimacy was its main source of power and that destroying the empire could cause its kingdoms to splinter.
