Nearby, Liu Weiwei confirmed Ling Yi had Spirit Stones and prepared to confront him, while a square-faced man began a plan to secure them.

• Ling Yi transferred Guo Xiaowen one million yuan, and she rode away with him on his electric bike while Zhou Xiaojie fumed.

• Lin Qinghan proposed that she and Ling Yi marry, offering him monthly spending money and an apartment and car if they divorced after three months.
• Ling Yi learned Lin Qinghan needed to marry before a three-month inheritance deadline, but refused because marriage would invalidate his online girlfriends under the system rules.
