Chapter Summaries

After returning as a Weird, Rose pretended to be a rule-type Weird to gain a Doomsday Phone and raise her Deceptive Enchantress level. She learned from the Sequence User Forum that Luo Fan and the Weird Bride were both in Yi City, so she headed there to find out what was happening and hopefully reach An Xiaoran.

• Rose wondered whether Luo Fan and the Weird Bride had become enemies again and set off for Yi City, hoping to learn what was happening and find the Hope Convoy.

Rose, now a true Weird, entered Yi City hoping to find Luo Fan and An Xiaoran. She spotted Luo Fan riding out in daylight, and he briefly sensed her watching him before continuing on.

• Luo Fan sensed Rose's unusual gaze and glimpsed a red-dressed humanoid Weird retreating from a window, but he continued riding without recognizing her.

Luo Fan left Yi City alive, stirring speculation about whether he had defeated the Weird Bride, then returned to the Hope Convoy and persuaded Zhao Chunfeng to head for Lin City. On the journey, Niu Dagang reached Lv26 and awakened Shield Burst while Luo Fan continued absorbing a weird crystal, nearing Lv36.

• Luo Fan rode out of Yi City alive, and Sequence Users and online posters speculated about his strength and the Weird Bride's purpose.

Luo Fan told Master Wen Hao that the Weird Bride sought Innate Yin Jade and proposed drawing powerful Weird into a contest for it so humanity could act amid the fighting. He left Master Wen Hao grateful, while privately acknowledging he had concealed his relationship with the Weird Bride and intended to bring human forces into the conflict.

• Luo Fan closed the chat, feeling embarrassed that Master Wen Hao thanked him despite his concealment of his relationship with the Weird Bride.

The Qipao Weird set out to win Luo Fan over by bringing him a Rule-Type Weird, while Rose left Yi City to find the Hope Convoy and see An Xiaoran. As Rose pursued Luo Fan’s route, the Qipao Weird intercepted her and watched her like prey.

• The Qipao Weird decided to capture a Rule-Type Weird alive for Luo Fan, hoping to prove her loyalty and learn what he had discovered in Yi City.

• Rose continued toward the Hope Convoy and considered using Deceptive Transformation to approach it and see An Xiaoran.
• The Qipao Weird appeared before Rose, praised her alertness, and stared at her as though she were prey.

The Qipao Weird captured Rose after seeing through her doppelgänger and puppet decoys, mistaking her for a Rule-Type Weird. She planned to give Rose’s Weird Crystal to a human and brought her toward the Hope Convoy, ignoring Rose’s protests that she was not a Rule-Type Weird.

• Rose asked the Qipao Weird why she would attack another Weird, but the Qipao Weird said Rose’s bad luck was to blame and grabbed her.

• The Qipao Weird caught Rose when her abilities went on cooldown, bound her with a rune-marked vine, and set off for the Hope Convoy.
• The Qipao Weird told Rose she intended to give her to a human for her valuable Rule-Type Weird Crystal.
• Rose insisted she was not a Rule-Type Weird, but the Qipao Weird refused to believe her and sealed her mouth as she carried her toward the convoy camp.

The Qipao Weird brought a bound Rule-Type Weird to the Hope Convoy as a gesture of commitment, but the group recognized her as Rose, who they believed had died. Luo Fan was left wondering how Rose could be alive despite his wife’s certainty that she was dead.

• Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy waited through the night for the windfall Zhao Chunfeng had predicted.
• Ai Si sensed an approaching Weird, and Luo Fan recognized the figure as the Qipao Weird carrying someone.
• The Qipao Weird tossed her captive, Rose, before Luo Fan and said she had brought a Rule-Type Weird to prove her commitment.
• Ai Si recognized Rose, while Rose was shocked to see Ai Si alive in the Hope Convoy.
• Luo Fan stared at Rose and wondered whether her deception skill had fooled even the Weird Bride.

• When Rose asked to be released, Luo Fan clarified that settling their score only meant he would not attack her, and said she was now his prey and her life was in his hands.

Luo Fan questioned Rose about her resurrection and demanded a Rule-Type Weird Crystal as ransom for sparing her. He marked her with debuffs that An Xiaoran dispelled, leaving Rose to seek the crystal under his terms.

• Rose explained that a powerful Rule-Type Weird resurrected her after someone paid half their life force, though she returned as a Weird.
• Luo Fan considered sparing Rose because Ai Si pleaded for her, she had not harmed him, and she might later save An Xiaoran.
• Luo Fan told Rose she had to obtain a Rule-Type Weird Crystal to buy her life, and she agreed.
• Luo Fan shot Rose with enchanted steel needles to place poison and burning effects on her as a safeguard against her fleeing.
• Luo Fan called to An Xiaoran, who used Dispel to remove Rose's poison and burning effects.

An Xiaoran healed Rose, whom Luo Fan released after marking her, and Rose left delighted to have spoken with her. Luo Fan then focused on the Qipao Weird, who offered to catch another Rule-Type Weird to make up for her mistake, and he praised her attitude as he prepared to spur her into action.

• An Xiaoran dispelled Rose’s poison and burn effects, then healed her injuries.
• Luo Fan told Rose that he had marked her and let her leave, believing he could detonate the marks from any distance.
• Rose said goodbye to An Xiaoran, who replied, and Rose left the Hope Convoy pleased with their exchange.
• Ai Si watched Rose go but held back from speaking because their relationship had been built on deception.
• The Qipao Weird explained that she had caught the wrong Weird by mistake and offered to catch another Rule-Type Weird for Luo Fan.
• Luo Fan said he was satisfied with her attitude and encouraged her offer while planning to stir her into action.

• The Qipao Weird felt hopeful after Luo Fan reassured her that he trusted her, while Zhao Chunfeng, Ai Si, and Han Shanzhong admired Luo Fan's ability to win over powerful female Weirds.
• Luo Fan asked whether the Qipao Weird wanted Xiaodie's Innate Yin Jade, and she eagerly confirmed that she did.
• Luo Fan asked how he could help her, and the Qipao Weird asked him to devise a plan because he knew more about Xiaodie and Yi City.
• Luo Fan said he would work out a plan and discuss it with her, and the Qipao Weird agreed to follow his instructions.
• Luo Fan suggested the Qipao Weird stay with the convoy, but she decided to search for a genuine rule-type Weird to make up for her earlier mistake.

Luo Fan gave the Qipao Weird a Doomsday Phone and prepared for the coming confrontation with the Puppet Weird as the Hope Convoy continued toward Lin City. Elsewhere, Rose met with her master, the Weird Shadow, who questioned her about Luo Fan and the Weird Bride’s relationship.

• The Qipao Weird accepted a Doomsday Phone from Luo Fan, and they added each other as friends before she left the Hope Convoy.
• Zhao Chunfeng joked that he and the others would be willing to marry sisters of the Weird Bride and Qipao Weird, and Luo Fan sent everyone to rest.

• Rose considered revealing that Luo Fan and the Weird Bride were married, but her excitement faded when she remembered the mark Luo Fan had left on her.

Rose Shadow raised Rose from LV20 to LV32 and ordered her to seize the Innate Yin Jade from the Weird Bride in Yi City. Rose considered turning against her master and, after nightfall, used a newly awakened skill to make a corpse look exactly like her.

• After nightfall, Rose left the Weird Domain and used a new skill to transform a young woman's corpse into her exact likeness.

Rose used Puppet Control to send a corpse toward Lin City while her original body returned to Yi City. Back in the Weird Domain, Zhang Qian asked Luo Fan to help him complete his second-tier advancement quest, and they set out to find a Fierce Beast.

• Rose awakened Puppet Control, Demoness Mark, and Exchange after her sequence level rose from LV20 to LV32.
• Rose sent the corpse she controlled toward Lin City and returned to Yi City to pursue the Innate Yin Jade.

• Zhang Qian explained that his quest required a companion to use his potions to kill a powerful Weird or Fierce Beast that he lured in as bait.
• Luo Fan agreed to help Zhang Qian, and they left to find a Fierce Beast for the quest.

Luo Fan and Zhang Qian lured a fifth-tier fierce beast to Lin City so Luo Fan could test his strength against it. Luo Fan trapped the beast, but its tail struck him before he could attack, leaving him badly thrown off balance.

• Zhang Qian staked his entire body to lure a powerful fierce beast, and Luo Fan agreed to face whatever arrived.
• After about fifty minutes, a horned, winged tiger-shaped fierce beast charged toward Lin City, and Luo Fan identified it as level 56.
• Luo Fan drank Zhang Qian's Enhancement Potion, set three Sealing Traps, used Petrification Bait, and transformed into a Shadow Cheetah.
• The fierce beast stepped into a Sealing Trap, which stopped its movement and extinguished its flames, and Luo Fan lunged for its neck.
• The beast lashed Luo Fan with its tail despite being trapped, sending him flying more than ten meters and leaving him stunned.

Luo Fan’s Sealing Trap and other rule-type skills failed against a powerful fifth-tier tiger beast, which badly injured him and An Xiaoran through their symbiotic contract. He slowed the beast with Ximen Chuixue’s sword skills, recovered, and launched another attack with enchanted needles and his Weird Gun.

• The tiger beast ignored Luo Fan’s Sealing Trap, struck him with its tail, and wounded him again with a roar.
• Luo Fan’s injuries passed through their symbiotic contract and caused An Xiaoran to cough up blood inside the Weird Domain.
• Luo Fan mimicked Ximen Chuixue and used Sword Qi Blizzard to hit the tiger and apply ninety-nine stacks of Condensed Frost, reducing its movement speed to one percent.
• Luo Fan drank a Recovery Potion, then attacked the tiger with the Pear Blossom Needle Storm and detonated thirty enchanted marks when the frost effect faded.
• Luo Fan used the Weird Gun to reduce the tiger’s defense by fifty percent and fired three Crystal-Energy Bullets at its head.

Zhang Qian advanced to second tier and awakened a rule-type skill that let him brew an Overlord Magic Potion, while Luo Fan realized the slain Fifth-Tier Fierce Beast had likely possessed a rule-type ability. The chapter left Luo Fan considering the potion’s potential and learning that its duration depended on the tier of Weird Crystal used.

• Luo Fan killed the Fifth-Tier Tiger-Type Fierce Beast with Triple Shot while Zhang Qian completed his breakthrough inside the Magic Formation.
• Zhang Qian became a second-tier Spirit Liquid Mixer and told Luo Fan that he had awakened a rule-type skill.
• Luo Fan realized that his rule-type skills had failed against the Fierce Beast and inferred that it had possessed a rule-type ability.
• Zhang Qian explained that his new skill let him brew an Overlord Magic Potion that granted immunity to all control effects for a limited time.
• Zhang Qian told Luo Fan that the potion’s duration depended on the Weird Crystal’s tier and the user’s Sequence tier.

Luo Fan asked Zhang Qian to prepare Overlord Magic Potion, then encountered Rose approaching in a corpse she controlled with her consciousness. Rose said she had important intelligence, and Luo Fan agreed to hear her out after deciding she had never successfully deceived him.

• Luo Fan asked Zhang Qian to prepare eight or ten doses of Overlord Magic Potion using Third Tier Weird Crystals, and Zhang Qian warned that Overlord Flower would be difficult to find.
• Luo Fan and Zhang Qian saw a pale woman approaching through the sunlight, and Luo Fan realized she had neither breath nor a heartbeat.
• The woman identified herself as Rose and explained that she controlled a human corpse with part of her consciousness so she could walk in sunlight.
• Luo Fan asked whether Rose had come to repay her debt, but Rose said she had important intelligence to share.
• Rose argued that Luo Fan's intelligence meant she could not fool him, and Luo Fan agreed to hear what she had to say.

Rose told Luo Fan that her powerful Rule-Type Weird master had ordered her to seize the Innate Yin Jade in Yi City, and offered to act as his inside agent. Luo Fan agreed to clear her debt if they succeeded, and they arranged for Rose to contact An Xiaoran through a Doomsday Phone when she controlled a corpse.

• Rose asked Zhang Qian to leave, then told Luo Fan that her master had assigned her to seize the Innate Yin Jade in Yi City.
• Rose offered to spy on her master for Luo Fan, hoping both to settle her debt and escape the Weird’s control.
• Luo Fan accepted Rose’s offer and promised to clear her debt if they succeeded.
• Rose explained that her master monitored her, so she could not contact Luo Fan secretly by phone.
• Rose and Luo Fan agreed that she would use a corpse and a Doomsday Phone to add An Xiaoran and pass messages to him.

After Zhang Qian advanced to the second-tier sequence and brewed Overlord Magic Potions for the Hope Convoy, Luo Fan reached LV36 as a Demon Hunter and awakened the rule-type skill Decapitation. He realized the skill could let him fight one chosen target while ignoring damage from everyone else, just as the battle in Yi City drew closer.

• Zhang Qian revealed his second-tier advancement and explained that his Overlord Magic Potion made its drinker immune to crowd-control skills.
• Luo Fan sold Zhang Qian’s potions, traded with Master Wen Hao and Mr. Mo Mo for supplies, and brought Enhancement Potion materials and Overlord Flowers back to Zhang Qian.
• Luo Fan reserved ten Overlord Magic Potions, providing nine third-tier Weird Crystals and one fourth-tier crystal, while Niu Dagang, Han Shanzhong, Ximen Chuixue, and Ai Si helped supply crystals for the rest.
• After two more days of absorbing a fourth-tier Weird Crystal, Luo Fan leveled up to LV36 as a Demon Hunter.
• Luo Fan learned that his new rule-type skill, Decapitation, locked him into a fifteen-second duel with one target and made him immune to damage from all other sources.
