The Han Family settled into Demon-Hidden Valley and celebrated their new home with a lavish banquet that continued into a night of passion. Afterward, Han Shuo offered to end Lolth’s Master-Servant Contract, but she refused and left after he called her a friend; Emily told him Lolth liked him.

• Emily teased Han Shuo about his past womanizing, and he drew her close and playfully punished her.
• Over six months, Tyr, Rogg, Vasias, and Osoe gathered forces under their command, while Han Shuo refused allegiance and kept the Han Family secluded in Demon-Hidden Valley.
• After another three months, Godhunters began hunting deities along the borders of the Chaos Lands and the Fate, Death, Space-Time, and Lightning Divine Domains; Tyr’s invitation to Han Shuo was declined because he was cultivating in seclusion.
