Ye Fei cooked mutated-beast dishes with random effects for his pets and friends, then began refining a Gale Robe for Lingyan. He ran short of energy and borrowed Survival Points from his senior, leaving the furnace running while he checked the latest batch of food.

• Little Phoenix angrily rejected Feng An’s suggestion that it might become a snake, while Feng An explained that awakening its Phoenix genes required a unique Phoenix bloodline.

• Feng An admitted he had arranged the encounter, and Ye Fei inferred that Lin Mu was nearby.

Ye Fei waited for Lin Che to bring him the Heavenly Spirit Pearl while Feng An described the Snow Mountain region and its tangled families. Lin Che offered Ye Fei his Koi King as well, but Ye Fei refused it and advised him to raise it and pursue becoming a Dragon Knight.

• Ye Fei told Phoenix Perch that confirming Lin Che and Lin Mu were in this world had erased his lingering sense of separation from his past, and he reflected on how much he valued his home and companions.
• Ye Fei went to sleep in the hot spring, planning to feed Little Fox, Little White Tiger, and Big Dog bloodline-enhancing food after he woke.
• Feng An visited and wondered why Ye Fei seemed to be sleeping peacefully after his shock, so Phoenix Perch explained that Ye Fei had accepted the reality of his life in this world.

• Phoenix Perch concluded that Feng An had brought Ye Fei someone to save, making the Snake Demon responsible for part of the troubles and debts of gratitude that followed.
