After seeing Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling together, Zhu Zhuqing reflected on Dai Mubai’s return to his dissolute habits and her own lack of a safe place to go. She stopped outside Dugu Manor, where the sight of the three gave her a possible path forward.

• Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling left after settling their trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Zhu Zhuqing watched them from a teahouse.
• Zhu Zhuqing remembered Dai Mubai’s repeated visits to brothels and lost hope that he would change or help her survive the danger from the Star Luo Empire.
• Zhu Zhuqing considered joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but realized Ning Fengzhi would likely refuse to risk conflict with the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family for her.
• Zhu Zhuqing left the teahouse, wandered to Dugu Manor, and began to believe that Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling might offer her another path.

Zhu Zhuqing sought Lin Mo’s help at Dugu Manor, while Lin Mo sensed a hidden observer and led her away to draw him out. The pursuer was Dark Crow, a Star Luo operative tasked with killing Zhu Zhuqing and who also intended to claim the bounty on Lin Mo.

• A servant told Lin Mo that a young woman claiming to be an old acquaintance had waited outside Dugu Manor, and Lin Mo went to meet her.
• Lin Mo found Zhu Zhuqing, who asked to speak somewhere private, while he sensed faint killing intent from someone hiding nearby.

• Dark Crow, an Agility Attack System Soul Douluo serving Dai Weisi, followed them after deciding to kill Zhu Zhuqing and take the bounty on Lin Mo.

• Lin Mo ended his fusion with Charizard, examined Dark Crow’s corpse, and learned from Zhu Zhuqing’s cloth list that the assassin had been tracking her.

• Lin Mo concealed his appearance, carried Zhu Zhuqing inside the purse, and returned with her to Dugu Manor.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling about the assassination attempt, her identity, and her need for protection, then waited for Dugu Bo’s response.

• Lin Mo planned to have Dugu Bo announce that Zhu Zhuqing had died at Dark Crow’s hands, and Dugu Bo dissolved Dark Crow’s corpse with poison to support the story.
• Zhu Zhuqing swallowed the harmless pill, accepted that her old identity was gone, and committed to living under a new identity.

After seven days of waiting, Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived at Dugu Manor with two Soul Bones to trade for Lin Mo’s Wisdom Skull of Illusion. Lin Mo inspected the bones and learned that the seventy-thousand-year-old jade phosphorus nine absolute flower right arm bone carried poison so deadly that absorbing it could be fatal.

Three days later, Ye Linyuan arrived after condensing a Soul Core and breaking through to Level 90, needing only a suitable Ninth Soul Ring to become a Titled Douluo.

The group found the beast deep in the forest and discovered it was Blue Silver Grass, leaving Ye Linyuan astonished by its cultivation.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Mo prepared Charizard to condense a Fire-type Soul Core and considered how Ye Lingling could help Ah Yin recover her cultivation.

• Tang Hao raged through the Blue Silver Forest after finding the Blue Silver King dead, then remembered Ah Yin had mentioned other Blue Silver Kings.

After four months of secluded cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Charizard formed and absorbed his Fire-type Soul Core, raising Lin Mo’s Soul Power Level to the middle of rank sixty-five. Lin Mo checked his panel and found a new self-created Soul Skill, Blast Burn.
