Chapter Summaries

Lu Chen and Xiao Wu reached Nuoding City, where Lu Chen confronted Xiao Chenyu and his followers after they harassed them. After a meal, Lu Chen received academy admission invitations and two Storage Soul Tools, leaving the city lord’s motives and the promised explanation unresolved.

Lu Chen returned to the inn with Xiao Wu and found Ah Yin awake in her blue silver grass form, but she wanted to die after learning that her life with Tang Hao and their son had been a deception. Meanwhile, Xiao Lang ordered Xiao Chenyu to make amends by becoming Lu Chen’s considerate senior and personal lackey at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

• Lu Chen gave Xiao Wu a pink storage ring and used the Live Point Map to locate Nuoding City’s lord, Xiao Lang.

• Lu Chen soothed Ah Yin with his Soul-Calming Domain, then used the Notebook to suggest that he might respect her wish to die and even deceive Extraterrestrial Tang San.

Ah Yin questioned whether she had committed any wrongs and learned that Tang Hao had suspected Tang San was not his biological son, while Tang San had used her for his own ends. She escaped one spiral of self-blame only to conclude that Tang Hao and Tang San had betrayed her, and she wished them dead.

• Ah Yin emerged from one dead end of self-blame and decided that Tang Hao and Tang San deserved to die.

Lu Chen stopped Ah Yin’s grief from corrupting her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and learned she wanted to stay with him while she grew strong enough to seek revenge on Tang Hao. He agreed to take her in, asking her to help him fuse with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
