• Tang San tried to book a tavern with money from his pouch, but a moldy loaf and Flaide's stinking sock made him lose face before he finally paid.

• After three days, two Soul Masters repeated the couplet to Tang Hao, who seized them, learned it had come from Cloudwind City, and flew there to investigate.
• Tang Hao suspected the message might be a trap set by the Spirit Hall.

• Cao De fought nine contestants in the arena, used his Thousand-Blade Demon Sword to defeat them, and earned his hundredth consecutive victory.
• Qian Renxue entered the arena for her hundredth death match.

Cao De and Qian Renxue won their hundredth consecutive fight and chose to challenge the Hell Road, but found its route unusually safe and the Red Bead missing. After questioning the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, Cao De learned another challenger had taken the bead and followed it to a platform marked by an empty space and surrounding stones.

• Qian Renxue used a Soul Cannon to kill the nine challengers, earning her hundredth consecutive victory, and Cao De joined her in accepting the Hell Road challenge.

Cao De escaped the Slaughter City with the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, but a strange Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring forcibly attached itself to him and began corrupting his spiritual sea with killing intent. He concealed his condition from Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, then went with Qian Renxue to the Moonlight Pavilion, where Tang Yuehua sensed the dangerous aura around him.

• The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was destroyed by the collapsing Circular Platform, then revived as a skeleton by eerie black gas and charged out after Cao De.

• Cao De told Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu that the soul beast might have sacrificed itself, while hiding that his killing intent was consuming his reason.
• After Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu left, Cao De admitted his condition to Qian Renxue, who accompanied him to the Moonlight Pavilion.
• Qian Renxue threatened a rude young noble who mocked Cao De, and Tang Yuehua emerged and sensed the killing aura and black energy surrounding him.

Cao De’s murderous aura overwhelmed Tang Yuehua’s domain, and he nearly attacked her before regaining control and collapsing. While unconscious, he discovered the system’s hidden spirit manipulating his emotion points and framing the Divine Realm Will for its actions, then devised a way to exploit its fear of his suspicions.

• Tang Yuehua tried to suppress Cao De’s murderous aura with her Noble Ring domain, but the domain failed and her harp strings snapped.

• In his dark spiritual sea, Cao De used a Black X-Ray Telescope and saw a little girl—the system spirit—collecting emotion points and manipulating the Control Panel.
• The system spirit ordered a Martial Soul Mutation Card and Love Potion after Cao De’s suspicions triggered a warning, while system notifications falsely blamed the Divine Realm Will.
• Cao De recognized that suspecting the system made it wary and began planning how to use that weakness against it.

Cao De recovered after Tang Yuehua's mutated martial soul power destroyed the black mist in his spiritual sea, and he and Qian Renxue reassured Tang Yuehua about what had happened. The three began settling into a new relationship as Cao De offered to cook and Qian Renxue asked Tang Yuehua to teach her the harp.

• Tang Yuehua's Ruyi mutated uncontrollably, and its sacred power later eliminated the black mist contaminating Cao De's spiritual sea.
• Qian Renxue woke to find Cao De gone, then found him cultivating on the roof and learned how he had recovered.
• Qian Renxue told Tang Yuehua she was not angry and suggested they become sisters, while Tang Yuehua struggled with how to face them.
• Cao De promised to take responsibility for what happened and told Tang Yuehua not to force herself into a relationship with him.
• Qian Renxue took Tang Yuehua to the lakeside pavilion and asked her to teach her the harp while Cao De went to cook.

• Cao De prepared a meal, and Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua enjoyed his cooking; he wiped grease from Tang Yuehua’s mouth and later left her an insulated food container with a caring note.
• Tang Yuehua gradually grew accustomed to spending time with Cao De before Yu Wangxuan arrived at Moonlight Pavilion to play music for her appraisal.
