• Niu Dagang suggested that the Weird Bride and Luo Fan could simply charge in and kill Yamato, since they had defeated powerful Weirds before.
• The Weird Bride agreed to tell the convoy about Yamato and explain why she was wary of him.

The Weird Bride explained that Yamato could nullify even rule-sanction abilities and might be a ninth-tier weird, making him a dangerous opponent for Luo Fan. She revealed that she had once left home to avoid Yamato’s unwanted pursuit, and the chapter ended with Luo Fan asking why she now wanted to find and kill him.

• Luo Fan asked why the Weird Bride now wanted to seek out and kill Yamato, leaving the others waiting for her answer.

She left the group with the warning that this was a unique case that could not be replicated.

Luo Fan and the Weird Bride discussed why they had to attack Yamato before he could turn his mature Space-Time Dao Fruit into an uncanny artifact. Luo Fan proposed exploiting the injury Yamato would suffer when the Willow Immortal Elder separated the Dao Fruit, leaving the Weird Bride surprised by his idea.

• The Weird Bride explained that Yamato was immune to rule-type abilities, making him a dangerous target, but they could not wait because he had contacted the Willow Immortal Elder to forge his Space-Time Dao Fruit into an uncanny artifact.
• Luo Fan introduced the Willow Immortal Elder as an immobile willow tree with a top-class forging ability who had once fused Innate Yang Steel into his Weird Gun.
• The Weird Bride said she considered a rule-type skill more useful than a rule-type uncanny artifact, so they needed to seize Yamato's Dao Fruit soon.

• The Weird Bride realized Luo Fan had a plan and asked if he intended to exploit Yamato's weakened state.

• The group encountered only the Soul Devourer Weird that night and later rested in an abandoned town.
• Niu Dagang told Luo Fan that he and the others wanted to learn how to find a woman devoted only to them, even a female Weird.

Luo Fan’s companions demanded advice on attracting women after becoming jealous of his relationship with the Weird Bride. When he bragged that she had pursued him first, they ganged up on him and left him battered.

• Niu Dagang, Zhao Chunfeng, and the other men asked Luo Fan to teach them how to pursue women, including female Weird.
• Luo Fan said he had no tricks to share because the Weird Bride had pursued him in the Underground Palace.

• The group rushed Luo Fan and rained punches and kicks on him before leaving satisfied.
• Luo Fan lay on the ground, concluding that his companions had attacked him out of jealousy over the Weird Bride’s devotion.

• The Weird Bride asked about Luo Fan’s bruises, and he explained that Zhao Chunfeng and the others had beaten him as a badge of honor.

• The parrot told Luo Fan that Yamato was about sixty kilometers southeast and warned that Yamato ruled the Eastern Japan Island Weird.
• Luo Fan refused to explain why he planned to find Yamato, and the parrot chose to leave rather than follow the group.
• Luo Fan and the others headed southeast while the parrot cautiously flew away at low altitude to avoid the Weird pursuing him.
• After walking about fifty kilometers, Luo Fan’s group reached an abandoned city, and Minako identified it as Tokyo.

• Zhao Chunfeng found that his powers and uncanny artifacts were sealed, while Luo Fan could still use basic skills and his uncanny artifacts but not his rule-type skills.
• An Xiaoran promised to protect Luo Fan, and Minako, Lin Xiaowei, and the others wondered why the vision-sealing ability had not affected him.

Luo Fan and An Xiaoran became the Weird Bride’s slave and maidservant as part of their plan to stay close to Yamato. Back at their lodgings, the Weird Bride told Luo Fan what she had learned and confirmed that Yamato had not revealed how he and the Willow Immortal Elder severed their connections to the Space-Time Dao Fruit.

• The Weird Bride offered Luo Fan and An Xiaoran the choice of death or service, and Luo Fan immediately chose to live.

• Over two days in Tokyo, Yamato repeatedly invited the Weird Bride out, but she refused each time.
• Yamato offered Luo Fan a rule-type weird crystal to report on the Weird Bride and put in good words for him.
• Luo Fan told the Weird Bride about Yamato’s offer and explained that he wanted to build a relationship with Yamato so they could monitor him more closely.

• Luo Fan told the group to wash up before assigning them duties, and they followed him out of the prison.
• Zhao Chunfeng and the others cleaned themselves and received jobs that gave them a reason to stay in Yamato’s territory.

Luo Fan and the Weird Bride grew concerned that Yamato had abandoned his plan involving the Willow Immortal Elder, so they devised a way to prompt him to reveal it. Luo Fan told Yamato that Die Your Highness planned to leave Eastern Japan to find someone who could forge the Innate Yin Jade, and Yamato urged him to learn more.

• After a week in Tokyo without news of the Willow Immortal Elder, Luo Fan and the Weird Bride wondered whether Yamato had changed his plans.

Luo Fan appraised and reforged the ring, removing its soul-contamination drawback at the cost of giving it a less dangerous side effect.

• Yamato promised Luo Fan a reward if he discovered which Weird Die Your Highness intended to invite, and Luo Fan left to investigate.
• After making Yamato wait, Luo Fan reported that Die Your Highness wanted Willow Immortal Elder to help forge the Innate Yin Jade.

• Luo Fan reforged the ring three times, changing its side effect until it became losing the use of one random skill for the rest of the day after each use.

Luo Fan refined the Overlord Weird Ring and learned that Yamato had brought Willow Immortal Elder from China to Tokyo, where the elder was recovering from damage to his foundations. The Weird Bride used her Innate Yin Jade to nourish him, surprising Yamato, who pretended not to know she possessed it.

• Luo Fan put on the refined Overlord Weird Ring, which could negate rule abilities, and told the Weird Bride about Yamato’s laughter and his apparent wish to keep her in Tokyo.

The Weird Bride stayed in Tokyo to use the Innate Yin Jade to speed the Willow Immortal Elder’s recovery, while Yamato explained that he had moved the Elder there to turn his ripened Space-Time Dao Fruit into an Uncanny Artifact.

Yamato ordered spies to watch the pair, and Minako approached them beneath the willow tree to make their relationship easier to discover.

• Minako reflected that she wanted Yamato dead to give Eastern Japan’s survivors room to return and migrate, so she had told him Luo Fan and the Weird Bride were married.

• Minako asked Luo Fan how long it would take to wake the Willow Immortal Elder, and he rebuffed her when she tried to bring up the Weird Bride.
• The Weird Bride suggested Minako had only been trying to curry favor with Luo Fan, and he accepted the explanation.
