Chapter Summaries

Xin Lan learned why Xuan Jia wanted her as his exclusive sentinel: his Taotie Spirit Body threatened to destroy his Mental Landscape, and he believed only she could save him. Their conversation turned flirtatious as she teased him into undressing during a video call at his office, leaving him ready to show her more.

• Xuan Jia told Xin Lan that his Taotie Spirit Body kept his Mental Landscape near collapse and that he could not safely leave District K1 without regular guidance.

• Xuan Jia begged to keep watching, and Xin Lan explained that Wu Xi was nearly done and she had promised to bathe with him if he finished in time.

Mo Xiao secured permission to move upstairs by offering Xin Lan political power and his personal service, but Wu Xi and Cang Leng warned her that he was scheming.

• Mo Xiao warned Xin Lan that the source was dangerous and offered to accompany her, and she agreed to go with him.
• During the hovercar ride, Mo Xiao assumed Xin Lan was worried about Chi Ming and Wu Xi, but she clarified that she wanted to reach the crystal before they destroyed it.

After Mo Xiao’s Rampage Level surged, Xin Lan purified his Mental Landscape and rode his winged dragon toward the crystal fragment, while Mo Xiao found himself craving another slap from her.

• Xin Lan and Mo Xiao arrived near the pollution source and saw Chi Ming and Wu Xi battling a giant spider that regenerated and attacked with venomous webs.
