Xiao Tian and his companions encountered the reincarnated princess of the Demon-Subduing Kingdom, and Xiao Tian prepared to act on the hateful presence surrounding her.

Xiao Tian and Tushan Honghong intercepted the Yiqi Dao League’s prisoner, Gyuki, and discovered that he was Tushan Rongrong’s disciple, Yan Ruyu. After Honghong struck him and Xiao Tian revived him, Xiao Tian learned Yan Ruyu had not preyed on human women and began questioning why he had left Tushan.

• Xiao Tian paid Li Goudan to hand over the imprisoned Gyuki, then told Tushan Honghong that the demon might be connected to her.
• Xiao Tian identified Gyuki as Yan Ruyu, a disciple of Tushan Rongrong, and Tushan Honghong struck him down for disgracing Rongrong.

• Yan Ruyu told Tushan Rongrong that a golden-haired, golden-eyed fox demon had captured him and taken him into Yiqi Dao League territory.
• Tushan Rongrong reported that the Yiqi Dao League had attacked, but Tushan Meimei had swiftly driven off its challengers.

• Tushan Rongrong told Yan Ruyu to demonstrate the divine ability he had been practicing.

• After absorbing Light Golden Morning Dawn's power, Xiao Tian found a small Wangquan Zui crystal and established communication with Light Golden Morning Dawn.
• Light Golden Morning Dawn said it had helped Gyuki Yan Ruyu return to his homeland and had helped Wangquan Zui learn divine abilities.
• Light Golden Morning Dawn sensed Xiao Tian could destroy it, apologized, and cut off contact, leaving Xiao Tian determined to meet it face-to-face.

Xiao Tian learned that Golden-Eyed Golden Morning Dawn and Dark Golden Dawn shared memories, and that Dark Golden Dawn had found a powerful host. When Golden-Eyed Golden Morning Dawn tried to possess him, Xiao Tian activated the System’s Anti-Armament Control Ability, trapping her inside his mind at the cost of all his System Points.

• Golden-Eyed Golden Morning Dawn asked to hide inside Xiao Tian’s brain and offered to keep him alert without sleep, so he agreed.

Xiao Tian introduced Xiao Xi to Tushan Honghong and Tushan Rongrong, explaining her origin and her connection to a being from Outside the Circle. The meeting ended with Dongfang Qinlan rejecting Xiao Tian’s joking offer to become his Left Guardian.

• Tushan Honghong and Tushan Rongrong visited Xiao Tian’s courtyard, where Tushan Honghong questioned Xiao Xi about her clothes and Yan Ruyu’s disappearance.
• Xiao Tian explained that Xiao Xi was born from a Tushan fox demon’s powerful hopes and obsession, combined with a jade object from Outside the Circle.
• Xiao Tian said the jade had split after Xiao Xi’s birth, with its dark half becoming Dark Golden Dawn, who would kill the human cultivator responsible for the fox demon’s death.
• Tushan Honghong and Tushan Rongrong grew concerned that Xiao Xi’s origin resembled Black Fox, while Xiao Tian named her his Right Guardian.
• Dongfang Qinlan asked who Xiao Tian’s Left Guardian was, and Xiao Tian joked that she could serve as cannon fodder before she angrily refused.

Tushan Rongrong pressured Xiao Tian into taking a lucrative Reincarnation and Renewed Affinity mission by threatening to end his free meals, while Xiao Tian realized the job was tied to the Black Fox. He decided to accept the mission so the Black Fox Empress could become complete and unique.
