Chapters 333-366 Gone Fishin'

333-334 Su Luo trains in her space for a month using the bronze plaque she won from
the Liu family. She finds that the Spirit Dance Steps method suits her well and would
allow her to teleport at the final step. She also trains her Dimensional Imprint,
Apothecary and fireballs.
335-336 Nangong Liuyun returns and they flirt.
337-340 NL takes her fishing on his ship and introduces her to his friends, including
Beichen Ying, Ln Xun and n Y Mng.
341-342 BY asks why SL can't accept NL's love since it's hard for him to open up to
people due to his deep dark past. The issue of the Jade Lake's Fairy comes up again.
343-348 NL, SL and their entourage participate in a fishing competition for or
Zjng fish which gives the same boosts as a green-coloured energy stone, but can only
be caught on July 15. Market value 5000 gold, but dangerous and hard to catch.
349-351 They run into the crown prince who's bitter since SL is now a third ranked
expert and traded up to NL since they dissolved their engagement.
352-353 Fishing requires people to insert spirit power into the rod and has a high rate
of failure. After a hint from the Divine Dragon (Meng Meng) SL adds Celestial Spring
Water to her bait and catches one instantly.
354-356 The Crown Prince mocks her since he has 3 and enters into a bet with SL to
see who can catch more over 3 hours. Reward is 1 green-coloured energy stone for
each additional fish they have over their opponent. Everything is written up and
signed in a contract.
357-366 Fishing competition begins. Bystanders comment on SL stealing her sister's
fianc. However, they move on to being shocked as the rare Zjng fish are literally
climbing on her rod to be caught. SL manages 3 in 2 minutes and keeps at this rate,
while the Crown Prince's face goes dark as he watches. At the end of the competition
SL catches 1,500 fish, while CP has none and owes her 1,500 green crystals. CP wants
to default since he doesn't have that many but NL and BY promise SL theyll help her
collect.

Chapters 367-384 Settling the Jade Lake's Fairy Issue

367 At sea Z y gng or Purple Fish Palace appears. Apparently it only emerges every
hundred years or so.
368-369 The Jade Lake's Fairy, Li Yao Yao, appears on another boat with her brother Li
Ao Tian, a sixth ranked expert. LYY and NL go into their own world again.
370-372 BY notices that SL feels bitter and interrupts NL and LYY to discuss lighter
topics. LYY notices NL's entourage addressing SL as sister-in-law while SL is still
doubtful over her position in NL's heart.
373-375 LAT is shocked NL isn't interested in LYY, while NL finally sets things straight
with LYY, telling her theyll always be close friends but his wife can only be SL and he
was only using her to test SL's feelings. LAT rages, LYY cries then insults SL, so NL
slaps her.
376-377 LYY and LAT leave the ship. SL rejects NL like normal but feels closer to him.
NL is a little despondent since he and LYY were childhood friends even if he wasn't
romantically interested in her, but had to cut her off to please SL. They race with LAT's
ship towards the Purple Fish Palace.
378-380 The Crown Prince is on LAT and LYY's ship. They've switched camps since NL
rejected LYY, and the CP informs her that SL is no longer a waste.
381-384 LYY invites NL to explore the Purple Fish Temple together but he rejects her.
He and SL flirt while LYY is shocked at the leeway he gives SL, however she refuses to
give up on him since his specs and potential are just too great. BY mentions the
Shujng z y or Purple Crystal Fish which resides in the temple and produces 3
randomly coloured crystals and is the reason people raid the temple.

Chapters 385-403 Hunt for the Purple Crystal Fish

385-387 SL and NL set out to find the Purple Crystal Fish. NL states he isn't interested
since it can't compare to SL but will go treasure hunting with her.
387-388 They follow the little Divine Dragon, who digs out a box filled with Lng Dn
Qi (Spirit Bombs) that are one-use but can kill a seventh ranked expert and worth 50
green crystals. SL plans to use it to defend against LAT and asks NL if she's allowed to
use them on LYY.
389-392 NL and SL enter a tomb with 499 rooms, and follow the dragon into the 123th
one where LYY is. The dragon wants to chase LYY out as he wants the treasure while
LYY is still angry since it bit apart her arrow (in the Sunset Forest). The dragon bites
LYY's finger and they fight. LYY is fifth ranked but their fight ruins her image as she
chases a puppy with a sword with an unkempt appearance. SL and NL then hide the
dragon while LYY storms off in anger, leaving the 123th room.
393 They enter the room and see a bowl full of crystals as well as the Purple Crystal
Fish, which spits out a cyan crystal in front of them. NL then tells SL that the crystals
the PCF produces are randomized and not all of them are cyan.
394 The dragon eats the cyan crystal, while SL puts everything into her space. She
feels guilty since she's reaping all the benefits and decides to help find useful
treasures for NL.
395-397 They run into the Crown Prince who boasts that he's found the PCF, which
leaves them perplexed since it's in SL's hands. However the CP's is a fake. SL asks how
he'll split it with LYY and LAT, sparking their greed, while he and NL wager 1,500 green
crystals over its authenticity (since the CP can instantly repay his debt while SL wants
NL to gain something as well).
398-401 BY mentions that while spitting out crystals is good, the PCF's greatest benefit
is that it can lead people to the hidden library which contains various techniques and
texts. The CP then injects his spirit power into the fish to connect with it but it ignores
him, while LAT makes a grab for it. NL's party steps back as LAT and CP inject their
energy and the fish explodes. CP catches on fire and is injured while 3,000 green
crystals in debt.
402-403 Watching NL and SL flirt, LYY asks LAT to kill SL, while SL reveals to the three
stooges that she has the real PCF, which was how they knew it was a fake.

Chapters 404-424 Hidden Library

404-405 The stooges asks how powerful the beast guarding the PCF was, when an
eight ranked tiger appears. They follow the instructions the PCF gives to SL to escape.
406-410 NL and the stooges offer to distract the beast while SL escapes, but as the
beast is about to kill BY, SL chucks the PCF at it, rescuing them. The beast then leaps
at SL, who pushes NL out of the way. But instead of biting her, it licks and slobbers
over her, seeming to covet SL's Celestial Spring Water. NL's friends turn into SL stans.
411-412 Flirting with everyone commenting on NL's straightforward approach to love.
413-416 As the group make their way towards the secret library, they notice the door
has a strong seal on it, and run into LAT, LYY and CP, who are all messed up compared
to NL and SL's group since SL's luck and PCF allowed them to avoid any real danger.
Everyone, aside from NL and SL, steps through the door.
417-420 Everyone who stepped through are now trapped in transparent balloons as
they reached for items in the room, which causes the couple to laugh. SL then picks a
few texts and items as everyone looks on with envy, but is limited to 7. She chooses a
few books and a mysterious fire stone. 3 books go to NL's friends (one each). NL
doesnt pick anything (probably only SL, as the owner of the PCF can).
421-423 The CP is furious at SL's luck, and NL attacks him, sensing killing intent.
However time runs out and the library begins to shake, causing boulders to fall. NL
moves SL out of the way, becoming trapped. SL and LYY hold on to him, but LYY and
NL end up trapped together in the Union Room ( Hhun sh Joined Happiness
Room), where they are forced to get married/consummate in order to get out. The CP
then mocks SL over how 'lucky' NL is while NL's friends reassure SL.
424 The ground trembles, with traps swallowing up most of the characters, leaving
only SL and LAT who's looking at SL with the urge to kill.

Chapters 425-448 Battle with Li Ao Tian

425 SL asks LAT why he isn't worried about LYY, and he reveals that she deliberately
trapped them in the Union Room in order to claim NL. SL is disgusted at LYY and
worried since she was now left alone to defend against the sixth ranked LAT while she
is only third ranked.
426-429 SL runs using the SDS, hoping to lead LAT to the tiger she tamed and hides
when she can't find it. LAT follows and freezes SL, threatening to leave her in the
middle of the street naked as a frozen statue. Remembering the mind control
technique the Jade Lake has (chapter 100), she doesn't doubt his words. SL then uses
her fire to melt the thin parts of his ice before throwing a bomb towards him. However
SL can only move 2 fingers and fails to escape as she's flung into the sea.
430-431 SL in her ice cube wash out on shore after a storm, and runs into NL.
432-433 SL wants to know how NL escaped the Union Room. He offers to free her from
the ice cube if she agrees to stay with him for 3 months. SL agrees. However it takes
him a while to melt LAT's ice despite being higher ranked and he collapses.
434-435 SL feeds NL CSW, and he falls asleep.
436-438 Waking up, SL asks NL about the Union Room and he jokes that she's asking
whether he managed to protect his virginity. They flirt until SL pushes him away,
before realizing he's injured. They spot a cave and SL offers to explore it.
439-441 SL sets the cave up as a shelter and applies medicine to NL. She then looks
for food before realizing she had moved a portion of her Zjng fish to her space.
Nursing him, SL promises not to go out without his permission.
442-443 NL tells SL there are other ways to leave the Union Room since he's keeping
his innocence for his wife he fought against himself. He avoids questions on what
happened to LYY, and SL remembers that his recurring illness should appear around
now, explaining why he's currently so weak.
444-447 SL feels guilty over his state and agrees to feed and bathe him. She mixes
Celestial Spring Water into his bath. There's only one month before she needs to face
Su Qing.
448 As SL is pouring out the bathwater, she runs into LAT who's been disfigured by the
bomb. NL also arrives and LAT is worried since he isn't with LYY.

Chapters 449-481 Rematch with Li Ao Tian

449 LAT questions NL over LYY's whereabouts but NL denies knowing. While LAT still
wants to attack SL, he's deterred by NL's presence (even though NL is currently weak)
and leaves.
450 SL asks NL why LAT is still alive. Turns out theres a one in a million chance
someone can absorb energy from the Spirit Bomb she threw at LAT, and he is now a
seventh ranked expert.
451 LAT reappears after a few days. After spying on their cave he's confirmed that one
of them is a space master since they have supplies on a deserted island, and wants to
capture them. He attacks SL when she's alone. She throws another Spirit Bomb and
uses the SDS to flee.
452-457 SL runs into the forest but LAT finds her by scanning it and chases after her,
forgetting about NL. SL runs into a cave and fiddles with the fire stone she took from
the secret library. It lets out a 'meow' which LAT uses to find her and they play tag for
a few chapters, with SL hiding herself in a tree.
458 The little Divine Dragon wakes up and is now a fifth ranked expert. He warns SL of
LATs approach. SL feels the gap between her and other martial artists since she
started training a decade later than them and cant catch up even with her gifts.
459-460 LAT catches her, but she manages to delay her death by tempting him with
the texts she took from the hidden library. LAT warns her not to get any funny ideas
before tying her up.
461-462 SL has the dragon bite her rope apart, escaping while LAT is cultivating.
463-465 They run into a seventh ranked bear and she tames its cub by offering it CSW.
LAT appears and chases her, so she throws the cub towards him, causing its mother to
chase after him, though he uses to cub to block critical hits. The bear injures him but
can only temporarily delay him.
466-468 The dragon reveals he can increase SL's attributes by 10%. Allowing her to
dart away and dodge most of his attacks. The blood she does lose is absorbed by the
fire stone she's carrying which turns jade-white. LAT continues chasing SL until they
reach a Fire Valley, which enhances SL's fire element and limits LAT's ice.
469-472 LAT follows her into the Fire Valley. The dragon spits fireballs at LAT but he
ignores it to focus on SL. However the dragon fire is too potent and he decides to
eliminate it first instead.
473-475 LAT uses his second attribute - wood - to create vines and tie up SL, angering
the dragon enough to bite him. SL is dropped and injured from the fall, as LAT uses the
vines to catch the dragon, who bites it apart. SL then falls into the fire and the dragon
follows her, delighting LAT.
476-478 NL appears looking for SL and has been promoted to an eight ranked expert.
He tells LAT that he was weakened and would've been an easy target, while LAT taunts
back that SL died protecting him.
479-481 NL is filled with remorse and looking for SL when the dragon approaches him
and drags him towards an unconscious SL. She wakes but is severely injured, wanting
LAT dead. NL has already killed him with a kick. He injects spiritual energy into SL.

Chapters 482-502 Leaving the Island

482-484 NL carries her away and she decides she should give him a chance over the 3
months she promised to stay with him. SL notices the change in her fire stone and NL
tells her to keep it since it suits her.
485 The fire stone and a flame technique from the hidden library, Aspect Flames,
allowed SL to remain unharmed when she fell into the fire cave.
486 NL looks for a way out, while SL cultivates Aspect Flames in her space, sitting in
the fire cave. The dragon eats the crystals from the PCF as it lays them.
487-488 SL reaches fourth rank and the middle of fourth ranked within 10 days,
allowing the fire stone to absorb nearby fires.
489-491 NL finds the exit but it requires 1,000 green crystals to open. Unfortunately
the dragon consumed a significant portion. She uses her Zjng fish instead and they
climb through. They return to where she first fought LAT, and she has 2 days before
her battle with SQ.
492 They cross the ocean on driftwood blown by NLs wind element. SL is less averse
to NL's flirting and cloying behaviour.
493-496 They run into a ship belonging to the Eastern Sea Dragon gang, where the
lecherous crew attempt to 'invite' SL on board, so NL massacres them.
497-498 They run into NL's ship which the three stooges used to search for them. BY
mentions that LAT is also missing and asks if NL and SL have seen him. NL tells him
not to bother. They also tell BY to raid the Eastern Sea Dragons for their wealth since
NL has already eliminated them. Back in the city, people are commenting on the
impending duel between SL and SQ.
499-502 SQ is waiting for SL. Public opinion was initially sympathetic towards SQ, but
is now mocking her for placing herself as NL's equal. SL is late, arriving hand in hand
with NL, causing people to react to his hotness.

Chapters 503-521 Duel with Su Qing

503-504 SL mocks SQ for wanting to play the part of the scorned woman due to her
own delusions, but SQ is now a fifth level expert and twice as strong as SL, so SL runs
using the SDS.
505 SQ is distracted by NL's smile, allowing SL to hit her with the Dimensional Imprint,
followed by fire balls before SQ retaliates with her ice attacks and forms an ice armour.
However, SQ leaves her neck uncovered, since she has less battle experience, which
SL aims for. She manages to draw blood but it wasn't fatal.
506 SQ is shocked she's losing to the lower ranked SL, and blames her for using the
Pretty Boy Distraction Strategy. SQ's attacks intensify, and SL starts to struggle.
However, SL has a lot of experience fighting ice element users.
507-508 NL wants to intervene, but SL stops him. SQ attacks with killing intent, but SL
is able to survive even her trump card. SL retaliates and the crowd comments on her
ruthlessness towards her sister.
509-511 The Su family watch from the crowd with displeased faces, occasionally
cheering on SQ. SQ consumes an Energy Recovery Pill, and renews her attacks. SL
retaliates with her improved Dimensional Handprint which has a void aspect. It
explodes on SQ, releasing corrosive poison, damaging her face.
512-518 SQ brings out her spirit pet, which is now a lizard, so SL brings out the Divine
Dragon, with the audience laughing at it since it's still disguised as a puppy. As SQ's
flying lizard heads towards SL, it's taken down by the dragon, which roars, causing the
lizard to go insane. The little dragon attacks SQ.
519-520 SQ runs from the dragon, telling SL to withdraw it, while asking the judges for
a break laughable in a duel to the death. The dragon chomps on her leg. Shaking it
off, she runs towards the crowd and SL sends her Dimensional Imprint towards her.
521 Their brother, Su Jingyu, intervenes stating their bond as sisters, however SL
retorts that SQ has been ruthless since the start. As they argue, SQ disappears.

Chapters 522-541 Su Manor

522 SL is the winner, but regretful that she had to showcase the dragon to win,
drawing unnecessary attention to it.
523-526 SL decides to magnanimously let SQ off, inciting the rage of her admirers and
teacher. NL stands and leads SL away. LYY watches on filled with hatred towards SL.
527-529 SL returns to the Su Manor to be raged at by Su Xi and Su Jingyu, as they
threaten to kick her out of the family. Both are no longer a match for her and she
defeats them with a whip.
530-533 Su Zian summons SL to reprimand her for beating SX and SJY. However his
real purpose is to take SL's Divine Dragon to appease the Jade Lake's patriarch, the 8 th
ranked L Yo Xing over LAT's death. SZ hesitates when SL lies and says it was a gift
from NL.
534-537 LYX arrives and interrogates SL over LAT. Her retorts anger LYX and he
attempts to force her to kneel by exerting pressure. SJY and SZ both kneel but SL
refuses.
538-539 As SL is about to be forced on her knees, NL arrives. NL and LYX are both
eight ranked and, as NL is determined to protect SL, LYX leaves in anger.
540 NL warns SZ to protect SL when he attempts to suck up. Now SZ is trapped
between siding with either NL or the Jade Lake, and angering the other.
541 SL and NL leave on the Dragon Scaled Horse. They head towards the Eastern Sea
Dragons' base where BY and other grunts are waiting to divide the spoils. The Jade
Lake's genius, and LYY and LAT's cousin, L o Qing, is also there, having joined in the
raid while searching for LAT.

Chapters 542-559 Wager with Li Ao Qiong

542 LAQ accuses NL of abandoning LYY, so NL makes an oath that the only person he
will ever love is SL. This infuriates LAQ.
543-545 BY suggests they decide who claims the treasures based on a wager,
planning to use SL's luck. A person from either side will fill a box with source stones
they pick out from a large pile. The side with the higher accuracy and better crystals
wins. NL suggests they also wager 1,000 green crystals. SL agrees since she has the
dragon and LAQ agrees since he has an expert source stone gambler with him.
546-549 The competition starts. The person from LAQ's side scrambles through the
stones, while SL remains still, contacting the dragon in her space, then slowly sorts
through her pile to fill her box.
550 SL tells BY every stone in her box contains a crystal. She enters another bet with
LAQ that at least 90% of her stones will contain crystals.
551 LAQ accepts on the condition that if she loses, she'll never see NL again. SL
accepts, causing NL's face to darken. If SL wins, LYX can't kill her for a year. LAQ
accepts since they can kill her after the year is over. NL is angry, while BY looks
disappointed.
552-556 They begin cutting the source stones. SL wins as all her stones contain
crystals and of higher quality than LAQ's (5 green and 4 cyan, while LAQ's lackey had
1 cyan and 3 yellow), winning the Eastern Sea Dragons bounty. BY is impressed and no
longer angry. She cuts the rest of her stones to prove all of them had crystals, winning
the agreement that LYX will leave her alone. LAQ is furious and accuses her of
cheating and she reminds him he also owes her an additional 1,000 green crystals.
LAQ storms off.
557-558 NL is still angry since she used him in the bet, telling her that it was heartless
of her to even make such a risk, and that hed never wager her even if his life
depended on it. He accuses her of hating him and is pained that he had to cut ties
with Jade Lake for such a callous person. SL asserts that she knew she would win.
559 NL storms off and SL returns home, feeling sad.

Chapters 560-582 Nangong Liuyun: The Human Doormat

560 BY visits SL at the Su Manor, telling her NL is injured. They leave, while BY asks
her how she picked the source stones, but SL can't reveal the dragon.
561-562 BY mentions he's never seen NL so angry and reckless. He confronts SL on
her lukewarm attitude, since she treats NL's friends so well but is ambivalent towards
NL. BY hints at NL's tragic past, and tells her all his love and warmth are given to SL.
And after the wager, he was injured while rampaging in Yn L (Cloud Path) Mountain.
563-564 SL enters Jin Palace to see an injured and bedridden NL, who tries to chase
her out. BY has everyone leave the two alone.
565-567 NL dismisses SL's attempts to apologize, when she reminds him of his vow in
front of LAQ, and how he can only marry her. She alternates between apologizing and
teasing him since she knows she has his heart and they return to their normal flirting
routine, though SL is more accepting of his flirtations.
568 NL hasn't eaten since the day before so SL goes to the kitchen to make chicken
congee, adding CSW.
569-570 The kitchen staff are worried since NL is a picky eater, but smelling how
fragrant SL's cooking is, they start worrying over keeping their jobs.
571-572 SL offers the congee to NL who still refuses to eat. She mentions that she
made it herself.
573 NL collapses so SL calls for a doctor. The servants secretly assume she was too
rough while 'playing' with him. SL panics and lets slip modern terminology, not
noticing that NL is faking.
574 The doctor tells SL that NL's illness is potentially fatal and stimulated by anger so
he has to be kept in a good mood basically give him what he wants.
575-577 NL is guilty about the deception but worried SL will ignore him if she finds out.
She offers to stay the night and hugs him to sleep when he feels cold. However NL
can't flirt with her as a sick person so he invites the physician back to change his
diagnosis.
578-581 SL wants to leave since NL has recovered, but he brings her to his residence
in the Southern Mountains, which has a large garden while the air is dense with
spiritual energy. Since it's a good place to train, he gifts it to SL. SL offers to buy it
instead, and NL mentions the 50 green crystals she used to heal him (after the Sunset
Mountain trip) are enough. NL gives her the deed, which contains the property as well
as the mountain itself.
582 While strolling, SL runs into Liu Ruohua and Liu Chengfeng.

Chapters 583-599 Su Luo's Origins

583-585 SL, LRH and LCF trade insults. Apparently only people with a death wish enter
NL's property. So as the new owner, SL has the steward come and bow to her. She also
takes out the deed and the Liu siblings are shocked since the Southern Mountains was
coveted by everyone as the best training environment but monopolized by NL.
586-587 SL attempts to evict the Liu family from the mountains when she notices both
LRH and LCF's hands have grown back. The Liu siblings had consumed Apothecarist
Leng's Flesh Regrowth Pill (the formula SL traded so he'd heal NL). Somewhere during
the conversation, LRH also lets slip something about SL's birth, so SL asks NL about it.
588-589 NL tells her about her origins over breakfast:
SZ's favourite Yng Concubine gave birth to a daughter, but it was a difficult birth and
the mother fainted, while the child passed away. As there was an auspicious symbol
(phoenix flying overhead), the wet nurse feared that losing the child would mean
losing her life. When she found another baby girl (SL) at the doorstep, she used her as
substitute but couldn't bear to tell the mother when she watched them bond. Due to
SL's potential, SZ initially treated the two well, causing his wife to remove Concubine
Yang out of jealousy, and she died without knowing SL wasn't her biological child. The
wet nurse left soon after and married, letting the secret out to her husband (which is
how LRH knew).
Hearing the story, SL only feels relieved that she isn't related to SZ, but NL hasn't
been able to find her real parents yet.
590 They comment on the suspicious circumstances and how convenient SL's arrival
was. SL tells NL to keep her in the loop, even though he wanted to shield her from it.
591 They leave the residence on the DSH, since SL has reached a bottle neck and
can't advance to fifth ranked by cultivating.
592-594 In the town, they see the CP's horses on rampage, so SL has the DSH
intervene and the prince's favourite concubine, Mng Ling, is thrown out of the
carriage. Having been in another region, ML only knows SL as the useless woman the
CP discarded and mocks her for it.
595-597 NL appears and protects his future princess, shocking ML. NL ignores her
jealousy and has her tell the CP that he and SL are going to collect their debt from him
(the 3,000 green crystals)
598-599 ML dismisses this claim as ridiculous and joyfully recounts the story to the CP.
However the CP begins to panic as he can't come up with the necessary crystals and
can't settle the debt with wealth. He kicks ML aside, and on seeing NL's men outside,
beats her again before running away. His servants are shocked that he can act so
ruthlessly to his favourite concubine and that he abandoned them.

Chapters 600-613 Debt Collection

600-601 At the Su Manor, NL is waiting outside and has Ling Feng send SL breakfast.
He mentally promises to spoil her more, and the two make plans to raid the CP's
treasury.
602-603 As SL and NL flirt, the CP's manor is in panic as they are unable to repay the
debt and the CP has escaped through a secret passage. ML is the highest ranked after
the CP since he hasn't taken a formal wife, and is disgusted at his behaviour, in fear
over NL and still unsure how much the CP actually owes.
604-605 NL arrives, but rages when he can't find the CP. ML arrives to settle the
matter, feeling jealous of NL's affections towards SL, and then shock at the size of the
debt.
606-607 ML attempts to negotiate, but NL offers 100 green crystals to whoever finds
the CP. The bounty moves thousands of guards (third ranked and above) to rampage
the areas the CP frequents and his various property, causing those closest to him to
hate him since he could stop the rampaging but hid instead. This also damages the
CP's reputation as people gossip about him fleeing to avoid debt, while elevating NL
since even the CP fears him.
608-610 The CP is in the Empress's compound recounting how he came to owe SL and
NL. The Empress asks if he regrets letting SL go, telling him that now it's too late. She
then comforts him, saying the debt is only 1,500 green crystals since she doesn't think
SL would appear in front of them to demand it. The CP mentions NL will collect on her
behalf since she and NL are intimate, but is talked by the Empress into believing NL is
just playing with her. The Empress also assures him that she can get the Emperor to
dismiss the debt with NL by regarding it as a joke between brothers.
611 A eunuch reports to the CP and Empress about the size of the force NL has
mobilized to find him. The CP faints as his reputation is damaged and all his wealth is
pillaged or destroyed.
612 The mobs, including BY, uncover the CP's hidden and disreputable properties auction houses, brothels and casinos - before destroying them.
613 The Empress tells the CP to get a hold of himself - as the son of the woman who
had NL's mother beaten to death, the CP shouldn't balk at facing NL. They arrive
before the Emperor and recount the past events. The Emperor already dislikes SL as
NL's rejection of LYY has damaged his relationship with the Jade Lake.

Chapters 614-623 Engagement

614-615 The Emperor tells NL off for making such a mess and ruining the CP's
reputation and businesses, but NL asserts that debts must be repaid and the CP's
pride is his own to protect. The CP then accuses SL of causing the mess, and the
Emperor tries to chase her out. NL jokes about taking the throne so SL can wander
around as much as she wants, angering the Emperor.
616-617 The Emperor accuses SL of being shameless, jumping from one son to
another. While NL retorts that it's him who one-sidedly issued an Imperial Edict for
marriage then shamelessly took it back. He offers to settle the CP's damaged
businesses by writing off 500 green crystals from the debt but demands the other
2,500 from his treasury. The Empress tells SL she wants to talk to her private.
618 In the other room, SL and the Empress assess each other, before the Empress
mentions that SZ wouldn't dare to challenge the Crown and that she should let it go.
SL projects spiritual energy into her voice to broadcast this, embarrassing her.
619 The Empress is angered and tells SL she can't rely on NL to protect her. SL ignores
this as she was planning on training her own strength anyway. The Empress then tells
SL she can only be NL's concubine at most, as the Emperor has already arranged for
NL to marry LYY.
620 The Empress offers to destroy the engagement if SL rips the IOU, but SL knows
she'd attempt to destroy it regardless, fearing the alliance between NL and the Jade
Lake. She threatens the Su Household but SL is indifferent, before chucking a bowl at
SL. SL bats it away, while NL sends it back towards the Empress.
621 The CP is angered, demanding that the Emperor intervene, while the Empress is in
shock. The Emperor knows he can't control NL, but asks why he attempted to kill the
Empress. NL replies its retaliation for attempting to harm his princess.
622 The Emperor is in shock since he didn't know NL had already decided to marry her
and objects. While SL has already decided to marry NL in her mind, but enjoys being
chased and hasn't told him yet, so she stays silent. The Emperor attempts to strike NL,
but is stopped by SL, who states that NL is hers and she'll protect him from harm.
623 NL is delighted and they engage in PDA. The Emperor objects due to their
shamelessness and tells NL to take her as a concubine instead. NL rejects saying he'll
only have a wife and no concubines. SL thinks NL is perfect for her while the emperor
declares in that case NL can never take SL as a wife.

Chapters 624-635 Imperial Treasury

624-625 The Emperor declares NL can't marry SL since he's already been engaged to
LYY. NL demands that he break the engagement, while the Emperor rejects since it will
damage the reputation of the Crown. NL sneers that if he cared about the Crown, the
useless CP wouldn't have lived so long. The CP defends himself, bringing them back to
the debt. Since the CP isn't wealthy enough, the Emperor, for the reputation of the
imperial family, agrees to use his treasury to settle the debt instead. NL leads SL
there, telling the Emperor the engagement with LYY was something he agreed to and
he should be the one to sort it out.
626-627 NL tells SL not to let this opportunity go since there are many rare treasures.
SL takes out the little dragon, which catches the attention of the treasury guard
Nngng Y. The dragon tells SL there are many valuable items around. NY has been
ordered to remove SL by the Emperor so NL is free to marry LYY.
628-632 NY watches through a crystal, and sneers that only a Space element or
people who know how to enter can access the inner chambers, where all the real
treasures lie, while everyone who tries ends up injured. SL uses her space element to
enter the room and takes a dagger with the name Yn Hu. She can't use her space
magic to get out, but the dragon is able to bite through the room. SL also takes a
manual for the Wood Attribute and a ninth grade bomb. NY, who's watching on, is
furious as even he can't access the rooms SL went to and also failed to assassinate
her.
633-634 NY estimates SL's items: 9th grade spirit bomb (1,000 green crystals), Wood
Element Manual (800), and NL appears, stating that the dagger is 700, with the three
items satisfying the 2,500 debt. NL tells her that he doesn't need his quota and that
NY overstated the prices on purpose, while SL realizes he intended for her to have the
9th grade bomb in order to protect herself.
635 The Emperor is angered that NY wasn't able to remove SL while she was in the
treasury, while NY speculates SL may have the Space Element. The emperor dismisses
this as SZ would've broadcasted it if it were true. He's somewhat regretful he has to
kill SL, but LYX, the countrys linchpin, threatened to abandon his position if the
marriage with LYY doesn't take place, leaving them vulnerable to other countries. The
marriage between LYY and NL is announced to the public.

Chapters 636-652 Return of the Jade Lake's Fairy

636-637 SL's serving girl, Lu Luo, is worried LYY will steal NL from SL, but SL is
indifferent - if NL is easily stolen, he's not worth keeping. SL tells LL that the rumour Su
Wan mentioned, where she pissed off the Jade Lake's Fairy, is true but warns her not to
find SZ since he's unreliable. SL then tells LL not to worry as NL is only good to her,
but since LYY is there, they'll go and see.
638-639 LYY arrives in town, the public comment on her beauty, and how compatible
she is with NL. The SL and SQ matter comes up, but they dismiss it as only waste
hoarders would choose SL over LYY. LL is indignant since NL clearly likes SL. LYY
emerges and is greeted by NL.
640-641 SL is angry, and will make NL pay if he strays. LYY is happy that NL came to
greet her and grabs his hand while gently calling him. NL smiles towards SL in the
crowd and bats LYY's hand away, whispering something which causes her to cry. As he
walks away, she hugs his back. When he pushes her away again, she hugs his waist.
The crowd is divided between being sympathetic and thinking how shameless she is to
hug a man in public. NL is indifferent towards this but hopes SL will appear.
642-643 Sensing NL is becoming sympathetic towards LYY, since they're both ignored
by the people they love, SL humours him and makes a dramatic appearance:
'Nangong Liuyun, you dare let her hold you? so he happily throws LYY off again. The
crowd stares, while NL distances himself from the embarrassed LYY, no longer calling
her Yao Yao but by her last name, declaring that his Princess is SL. SL and NL ride away
on the DSH, with SL asking NL how he made LYY cry. NL states he only used one word,
but refuses to tell SL.
644-645 At the Su Manor, SZ is furious at SL's behaviour, telling her she's forbidden to
marry NL. SL asks if NL isn't good enough and mentions the benefits he'd reap if she
became NL's consort. SZ replies that she can't compare to LYY and she should settle
for the position of his concubine, rather than enrage the Emperor and Jade Lake. SL
retorts if NL and LYY are a perfect couple, SL wouldn't be a concern for them.
646-648 SJY falls ill and can only be cured by an Advanced Apothecarist, but the Su
family doesn't have to right to invite him. SX attempts to tie SL up in order to appease
the Jade Lake and request their aid, but is repelled by the dragon and injured in the
process. She screams at SL for ruining the family.
649-652 SL recognizes this as LYY's scheming. She makes her way to Apothecarist
Leng's in the middle of the night to confront him about giving the Flesh Regrowth Pills
to the Liu siblings. AL states they were randomly pulled in from the streets but feels
guilty about using SL's formula to treat her enemies, and offers to remove their hands
again. SL mentions the Su Household's request for aid instead. AL is eager to help
since SL always repays what she owes. SL whispers something and AL heads towards
the Su Manor.

Chapters 653-670 The Fall of the Su Family

653-654 SZ and Madam Su are tending a bedridden SJY and cursing SL, while SX is
kneeling at AL's door. When SZ despairs that AL would even ignore an Imperial Decree
and that his son has a slim chance of surviving, AL turns up at his door, stating SZ is
lucky he has a good daughter and SZ assumes its SX. They converse while talking
about different daughters.
655 SZ introduces AL to his wife, but MS is puzzled AL would actually show up since
SX's presence was just for show. AL prepares SJY's medicine before leaving, telling SZ
to personally administer it. SZ leaves MS with SJY, when Li Yao Chi, LYY's uncle,
appears in the room.
656-657 In another residence, LYY, LAQ and LYX are plotting SL's demise, when a
servant tells them about AL's trip to the Su Manor. However, they can't harm AL since
he'll become LYY's fellow apprentice (Senior Brother) if she's accepted as the disciple
of the Master Apothecarist Rng Yn.
658-659 MS feeds SJY poison under LYC's orders. Both are working with the Jade Lake
to pressure SL into leaving NL. SZ is shocked SJY's condition has worsened, sending SX
to fetch AL since he supposedly has a favourable impression of her. SX is doubtful AL
will respond since they've never met and shocked when he immediately leaves with
her.
660-661 AL informs SZ that SJY has been poisoned. SZ finds it hard to believe due to
the short time frame since the last diagnosis, angering AL. AL states that the poison
can only be cured with CSW which LYC happens to have.
662-663 SZ has SL dragged over and demands she apologize to the Jade Lake and beg
them for the CSW. SL is angered since she isn't even worth a vial of CSW in his eyes.
She takes some from her space and gives it to SZ. AL remarks her CSW is top quality,
compared to LYC's low grade one, and SZ greedily questions SL over it. She hints its
from NL, and SZ is irritated at LYC since NL clearly values SL and wouldve brought a
lot of benefits. SL also notices the guilt in MS's eyes when she looks at SJY.
664-667 LYC appears again, this time with LYY, and seeing that MS is unwilling,
demands that she either feeds SJY a fatal poison or one that can be treated. SZ
catches MS in the act and summons AL when SJY's condition worsens. AL states that
given his weakened state, the poison is fatal and MS is shocked since she had chosen
the non-fatal one. SZ interrogates MS to find that she acted under LYY's orders and the
first few illnesses were faked. Since he can't retaliate against the Jade Lake, he takes
his anger out on her instead.
668 AL storms off, stating that the family is playing him and SZ sends SX to chase
after him. Seeing MS lying on the floor in pain, SL whispers to her that the last visit
from LYY was her in disguise.
669-670 Explanation of latest scheme - SL repeatedly had SJY treated so MS would be
backed into a corner by the Jade Lake. While giving SJY an actual poison was suitable
retribution for faking his illness in order to send her off to the Jade Lake. Now the
entire Su Family is neutralized. SZ and SX continue kneeling before AL's compound.
Inside AL is serving SL his treasured tea which can help her breakthrough to fifth
ranked, the minimum requirement to move from Elementary Apothecary to later
stages.

Chapters 671-682 Return of Li Ao Qiong

671 AL examines SL's pills and is shocked since they're at Intermediate level. He
mentions his master Rong Yun, the continent's only Master Apothecarist, is recruiting
an apprentice since AL wasn't talented enough to inherit his legacy. LYY is an early
favourite.
672 Unlike the Emperor, RY has the ability to mobilize forces even NL cant resist, so if
LYY wanted to force the marriage... LYY has a 90% probability of being accepted, while
SL currently has none. But now she is determined to fight for NL. AL agrees to teach
her. SZ and SX are still kneeling outside.
673-675 LL tells SL that the public is gossiping about LYY forcing MS to poison SJY. SL
heads towards Jin Palace to confronts NL over his situation NLs promotion was too
rapid and his body is now unstable. He needs to enter closed door cultivation to
stabilize but is unwilling to leave SL defenceless. SL reassures him LYC cant harm her
for a year due to her bet with LAQ. She also mentions that AL will recommend her to
RY, who might be able to heal him.
676 NL cant protect her if hes sick so he grudgingly agrees to go after chatting with
the Jade Lake and the Emperor. If SL needs help, she can find BY. NL stares at SL when
she sleeps, lamenting he cant take her with him, before leaving. SL spends two weeks
training at the Southern Mountains.
677-678 SL is at the fifth rank bottle neck and about advance when LAQ arrives. SL is
worried his disruption will prevent her from advancing, when BY and Lan Xuan arrive.
As they ask LAQ if he can risk offending their respective families, SL falls, spitting out
blood, and begins advancing. LAQ panics if SL is successful, shell be harder to kill
and will soon surpass LYY. While BY and LX are determined to protect her. LAQ believes
NL will return to LYY if SL dies, while BY and LX retort that is SL dies, the Jade Lake will
be exterminated.
679 BY and LX fight with LAQ. Within this generation, LAQs strength is only second to
NL, theyd normally have no chance. However, using the techniques from the hidden
library SL gave them (417-420), theyre now on par. LYX also arrives, disregarding the
agreement. BY and LX remark on his shamelessness. LYX states that the agreement
concerns the Jade Lake and not outsiders. LX and BY fear the consequences of failing
to protect SL.
680 LYX sneers, approaching SL to finish her off, when Bichn Zhng Lo, BYs third
uncle, appears along with An Ye Ming. BZL warns LYX that if SL is harmed, the Jade
Lake will disappear from the continent. LYX ignores this but is cautious since the
Beichen family are merchants and their characters are slippery.
681 10 people in blue cloaks arrive to attack SL. AYM and LX can each block 2, but 6
are left to attack SL. At the critical moment, the little dragon appears and fends them
off, biting off the daggers. The dragon had been sleeping after eating a lot of energy,
but woke as SL was advancing, having reached sixth rank. The robed men then form a
circle, sending a giant fireball towards SL and the dragon. The dragon sends six small
fireballs towards it, as the men ridicule its intellect.
682 The small fireballs engulf the large one, before heading towards the six men. SL
successfully advances. LAQ notices this and sends a lightning attack towards her in
the midst of his battle with BY, but its parried away by SLs Dimensional Imprint.
Angered, LAQ breaks a jade token, increasing his attack power, before sending
another lightning attack towards SL.

Chapters 683-693 Master Apothecarist Rong Yun

683 Seeing the token, SL remembers the one the little dragons father left, as well as
the 9th grade spirit bomb from the palace. She hesitates since last time it helped LAT
advance, but throws the bomb at BYs urging.
684-685 LAQ flees upon seeing the spirit bomb, but underestimates the magnitude of
the explosion, while BY shields SL from the blast and is injured in the process. SL feels
guilty for ruining BYs pretty boy looks, when they notice LAQ survived the blast and
has been promoted from seventh to ninth ranked expert. LAQ is now stronger than NL,
and turns towards BY and SL.
686-687 SL and BY run as LAQ sends lightning balls after them. They split into different
paths to dodge, but the ball explodes. SL manages to avoid the blast but is injured in
the process. LAQ chases her into the forest, mentally gloating that his advancement
was due to SL. Catching up to her, he offers her a dignified send-off at the hands of a
ninth ranked expert since the Jade Lake wouldnt allow a genius like her to oppose
them and live.
688 SL reluctantly takes out the jade token the dragon gave her, lamenting she can
never finish learning the Dimensional Imprint. She attempts to crush it but fails. LAQ
strikes SL leaving her barely alive, when the little dragon wails and bites LAQs leg.
689 As LAQ attempts to kill the dragon, SL warns him not to, telling him its actually a
dragon. But LAQ ignores her. Thinking of NL in her final moments, a group of people
riding lizards fly down, headed by a youthful man.
690 LAQ bows, identifying the man as the Master Apothecarist, Rong Yun. RY strikes
LAQ, knocking him over and creating dents in his body. He also showcases his control
over space and continues attacking, while LAQ is confused how he offended RY.
691-692 He states that killing SL is a matter for the Jade Lake and RY doesnt have the
right to interfere. RY retorts that if he had killed the little dragon, the whole continent
wouldve been overturned. LAQ attempts to sneak away when RY is petting the little
dragon. However, RY also has the space element and teleports towards him, while the
dragon darts towards LAQ, absorbing his spiritual energy. RY looks on, telling him its
to compensate for almost strangling the dragon and its a better alternative than
dying.
693 In puff of smoke, the dragon reverts to its original form. Its now seventh ranked,
while LAQ has been demoted to fourth. LAQ is shocked at seeing a dragon and is
beaten up by it. RY smiles when the dragon approaches him.

Chapters 694-701 Li Yao Xiangs Delicate Situation

694 BY remarks at SLs luck, to have the indifferent RY intervene. While SL knows that
RY only acted for the dragon. LYX arrives to see the miserable LAQ. RY berates them
for almost starting a war with the dragons.
695 LYX tries to negotiate for RY to hand over SL since hes only interested in the
dragon. The dragon, sensing his animosity towards SL, attacks. LYX and the dragon are
equal in strength (8th ranked martial artist and 7th ranked beast). With his speed, the
little dragon manages to bite the space between LYXs legs but cant find anything. LYX
tries to pull him off, ripping the fabric in his pants.
696 LYX attempts to cover the area with his hands, earning laughter from the crowd.
He calls for SL to take the dragon away, but she refuses, knowing LYX cant do
anything to it. The dragon bites his finger when he attempts to bat it away, and LYX
forgets to cover himself in the pain. The crowd, especially BY, laugh as they realize
hes actually a eunuch.
697-698 LYX goes into a rage, since he and his wife had kept this a secret for several
years. NLs stooges comment on the dragon and try to pet it, but it shrinks back in
SLs arms. They notice RY left after knowing LYX wouldnt harm the dragon, and SL is
glad he didnt take the dragon from her.
699 LAQ and LYX head back, while hiding their shame, but thanks to the Beichen
gossip machine, everyone between 3 and 80 knows that LYX has nothing to hide
and speculate over LAQs birth. The Jade Lake urges the Emperor to send an Imperial
decree but it has little effect.
700 BY continues spreading rumours surrounding the Jade Lake including LAQs
paternity, but it eventually gets buried by gossip of RYs arrival and speculation over
LYY as a potential disciple. SZ receives a letter from LYC to have SL struck from the
family records. He hesitates and decides to see how the situation between LYY and RY
plays out.
701 At the palace, LYY and the Emperor greet RY. When LYY pours tea for RY, the
Emperor sees this as a sign that RY has implicitly agreed to be her master, and doubts
NLs boast that SLs potential will eclipse LYYs in the future.

Chapters 702-711 Competition for Rong Yuns Disciple

702-703 RY has yet to decide and word spreads that RY is looking to accept an
apprentice. AL speeds towards the Su Manor to tell SL. Seeing AL, SZ greets him
enthusiastically since SJY and MS require treatment, sending for SX. But AL is angered
with SXs presence as he came to see SL.
704-705 AL tells SZ off, while SZ and SX are angry at SL for not mentioning her
relationship with AL. AL tells SZ to send for SL and SZ that SL is skilled enough to
contend with LYY. As AL briefs SL on RY, SZ angrily slaps SX for misleading him since
he cant touch SL due to ALs protection.
706 SX is shocked over being slapped and runs out feeling wronged. While SL rides off
on the DSH that NL had left with her. At the palace, RY is being served by LYY, while 7
other Apothecarist stand in front of him, having their elixirs accessed. Seeing RY is
unimpressed, the Emperor is even more certain of LYYs skills.
707 RY remarks that Dong Lings Apothecarists are even worse than Western Jins. AL
and SL arrive in the throne room. RY looks fondly at the dragon in SLs arms while LYY
retorts that the deadline for registering has already closed. She cries when AL
reprimands her, angering him more due to her innocent act.
708 RY intervenes, telling off AL for his temper, hinting that hes tacitly decided on LYY.
LYC and the Emperor are happy, while AL, who already dislikes LYY, continues to
recommend SL. RY stares at the dragon before agreeing, and LYY is bitter since
although SLs refining skills are inferior, her luck is unmatched.
709 Courtiers gossip on recent events involving SL. They and the Emperor feel that
she cant compare to LYY. The Emperor promised NL before he left that he wouldnt kill
her, but is still determined to wed him to LYY. RY scans SL and reveals that she is only
a Primary Apothecarist. The crowd feels ALs recommendation is an insult, while LYY is
certain of her victory.
710 The crowd is about to congratulate LYY, when RY presents SL and LYY with a list of
items and 10 days to retrieve them. LYY angrily remarks on how SL mustve curried
favour with AL for him to recommend a Primary Apothecarist. SL remarks that shell
win regardless and LYY is angered and cautious since shes lost so many times to SL
before.
711 The Emperor is shocked SL is a finalist, since even Intermediate and Advanced
Apothecarists were rejected, and decides to delay pursuing the marriage between LYY
and NL until the RYs disciple is finalized. At the Su Manor, SZ wonders how much SL is
hiding from him.

Chapters 712-720 Gathering Crystals

712 Insulted SL directly went to her own yard without greeting him, SZ wants to talk
this over with someone, but most of his family is missing, dead or incapacitated. He
realizes the fall of his family began when SL woke up. In her own yard, SL finds RYs
task is to collect one of each coloured crystal (7 total): Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Cyan, Blue, Purple. SL has the first six due to the PCF but is missing a purple. She asks
BY for help, but they notice its impossible to make a return trip to his home within 10
days, but just enough for the Jade Lake. Showing that despite the competition, RY has
practically acknowledged LYY.
713 SL remarks RY is smart enough to see LYYs true nature but still decided to side
with her. SL watches the PCF for 10 days but it fails to produce a purple crystal. At the
throne room, LAQ, LYY, LYC and LYX are smirking since this round relies on connections
and LYY is the Jade Lakes treasure, while SL is an unfavoured daughter of a concubine
and the Su Manor made no effort to search in the past few days.
714-715 SL is late and is waiting for the latest offering from the PCF. As RY is about to
end the competition, the dragon leaps from SLs side to swallow LYYs crystals. When
the dragon returns to SL, LYX notices that the blue and purple crystals are missing and
yells at the dragon. But seeing RY comfort it, they can only endure. However LYY is still
bitter since the dragon had also prevented her from gaining the PCF.
716-717 When RY coaxes the crystals from the dragon, he can only retrieve the blue
one and prevents LYX from forcing the other from the dragon. He then offers the rest
of LYYs crystals to the dragon which happily eats it before returning to SL.
718 LYY asks about the results, and RY remarks that itll count as all 7. SL is worried
since the PCF spat out a red crystal, while BY still hasnt returned from his trip.
However, the little dragon sneaks LYYs purple crystal into her hand the one that
everyone assumed he ate.
719-720 SL sneers that since LYY did everything to prevent her from obtaining a purple
crystal, shell gladly accept hers. Calmly presenting all 7, the audience is shocked that
even a concubine born daughter can find such a treasure. The Emperor is glad he
hasnt set NLs marriage yet, while the Jade Lake accuses SL of stealing LYYs crystal,
with LYX insisting on having the dragon regurgitate as proof. RY blocks him, stating
that if they find it unfair, they were free to leave. RY cuddles the dragon, announcing
the next event will take place in 10 days.

Chapters 721-730 Cramming

721 SL sees a messy BY, telling him he missed a good show. He had used LX and AYM
as decoys but was obstructed from entering the palace on time. At the Su Manor, SZ is
excited at the results and determined to improve their father-daughter relationship,
when he receives a letter stating that SL isnt his daughter.
722-724 Since SL can contend with LYY, he cant easily disown her, so SZ angrily
smashes things in his study instead. The three stooges arrive in SLs room with 3 bags
of books before fleeing, leaving her speechless. They had gotten AL drunk enough to
let slip that the next hurdle was a theoretical exam, testing Apothecary knowledge.
The dragon comforts her with the purple crystal to place in her space, making time
pass 10 times slower. This gives her 100 days worth of time. She laughs due to how
much LYYs crystal had helped her. Despite the added time, SLs foundation is too low
to comprehend and she decides to memorize the content instead.
725 At the palace, everyone is waiting but SL still hasnt arrived. AL is anxious, while
the rest assume SL had fled as her level was too low to contend with the Advanced
level LYY. Hearing remarks from the Jade Lake, AL mocks LYY since she couldnt win
over her in the first round and is forcing SL to quit out of fear.
726-727 SL arrives, still sleeping, on a palanquin carried by the three stooges who are
trying to wake her. They had found her asleep amongst a pile of books. RY breaks the
palanquin, waking SL. Confronted with stares after waking, she hurries to greet the
Emperor and RY (former reacts with disdain while the latter is indifferent to her messy
state). RY gives her 15 minutes to tidy up before they sit the exam. The questions
range from Primary to Advanced level.
728-729 LYY is confident SL will fail, while LAQ mocks her, before being beaten up by
BY, having difficulties adjusting to his own weakened state. SL looks confused, before
remembering her spirit can enter her space and access the books. LYY finds some of
the questions difficult and is even more certain of SLs failure.
730 Finishing the exam, LYY finds RY looking at SL with interest, asking her if shes
tired rushing around (having recognized her cheating), which is different from his usual
indifferent state. RY checks the exam papers while the room is split into 3 SLs
faction, LYYs and neutral. SLs faction has little confidence and comfort her. The
results are announced and both achieved full marks.

Chapters 731-738 Demonic Cave 1

731 Everyone reacts in shock that SL, known as a good-for-nothing, tied with LYY.
Especially AL since the 3 stooges had raided his books to give to SL, and she had
crammed them all in 10 days when it took him 10 years; as well as the 3 stooges
themselves.
732 RY looks at LYY before announcing the next trial will take place in M or Demonic
Cave (; also M Gu). The Demonic Cave contains the ruins of an
ancient civilization which requires strength and a key to open. Used by large families
to train, LYC has both keys and a detailed map. BY comforts SL over RYs attitude,
thinking SL is clearly better than LYY. However SL observes that RY is hard to predict,
since his actions didnt indicate a preference (didnt out SL for cheating but still treats
LYY better).
733 AYM notes this test is also partial to LYY but SL feels differently. At the Jade Lake,
LYX gives LYY the map while she broods over tying with SL someone she sees as
clearly below her. LYX notes that of his brothers 3 children, LAT is missing, LAQ is now
a waste and LYYs marriage is obstructed by SL. LYY plans to reveal the murky origins
of SLs birth and have her fall from a concubine-born daughter of a general to a
nobody.
734 Su Manor LYX drops by daily to pressure SZ into disowning SL, but he refuses
since she could potentially be RYs disciple. 10 days arrive and a crowd is waiting
outside the Demonic Cave. RY informs SL and LYY their quest is to find the Fire Source
Stones ( or Hu Yun Sh) that have been marked with his spiritual imprint and
placed in the cave.
735 Hearing this, LYY is glad since she has memorized the map, while SL is also happy
since she can rely on the dragon. However LYY attempts to have the dragon banned
from entering, causing RYs eyes to flash coldly. SL notices he only appears content
with LYY. SL remarks that the dragon is her spirit pet and would be depressed when
separated from her. RY allows her to bring it.
736 SL rushes in using her SDS, while LYY also charges in to prevent SL from following
her. The Demonic Cave contains demon soldiers 4 th ranked and above and soldier
kings 5th-6th ranked (Bng Wng ), led by leaders 7th ranked and above. These
soldiers are part of why the cave is so disreputable as long as one soldier survives,
the rest will respawn. SL makes her way in the dark to avoid alerting them, following
LYY as she uses her key to enter the temple. SL encounters demonic soldiers only for
the dragon to eat them.
737-738 SL remarks on how the dragon can level up while eating, when it falls asleep.
She places it in her space, feeling vulnerable. SL runs into LYY and they declare their
mutual hate for each other. LYY has already found 2 FSS, while SL has none. LYY holds
back from attacking as she has already trapped SL by leading two demonic infantries
towards SL, both led by 5th ranked Soldier Kings. They chase after SL.

Chapters 739-747 Demonic Cave 2

739 SL remembers BYs warning that demonic soldiers like to swarm, and that shes
been leaving footprints as LYY had led her to step into CSW, which attracts soldiers. SL
sneers, since CSW is something she doesnt lack, and leads the now 5 groups towards
LYY as shes digging her third FSS. SL then throws a basin of top grade CSW on LYY
not only is the quality different, LYY is completely soaked.
740 The five soldier kings are 5th and 6th ranked, while LYY is 6th. Four of them hold her
while the smartest of the five proceeds to lick her. Panicked, LYY sends out bursts of
energy to repel them, however demonic soldiers only react on instinct and their
attraction to the CSW.
741-743 LYY continues to fend off the soldiers, as more gather towards her. Too busy
fighting for her life to hate SL, she tears off her CSW-soaked skirt and runs.
Approaching a door, she opens it, only to have another bucket of CSW dumped on her.
This causes the demonic soldiers to renew their interest in her, and also attracted a 7 th
ranked demonic leader who tears her clothes off, leaving only her undergarments.
Out of rage and humiliation, she attacks, causing the soldiers to chase after her again.
743 SL sneers since shes taken her revenge, and also since LYY is distracting all the
soldiers for her. The dragon wakes in her space but hasnt risen in rank, while she
notices LYYs half-dug fire stone in the ground. Using the dragon, she finds another,
before following LYY into a maze.
744 The road breaks into 6 paths, and SL continually selects the middle ones as the
dragon cant seem to sense anything. She runs into LYY, whos currently digging a FSS,
and notices that she currently has a dress on, despite having been stripped. SL also
mentions LYY trapping NL in the Union Room.
745 LYY remembers the various retorts NL made to push her away, but still refuses to
let him go. LYY sends fire vines towards SL, nullifying her fire attacks. Having not
trained her wood element, she can only rely on her Dimensional Imprint. However LYY
is able to tie SL up in the vines, remarking that shes unworthy of NL.
746-747 As LYY thinks of hacking SL to death, SL remembers the Yan Hua dagger (from
the Imperial Treasury chapter 630ish) and slices the vines apart like tofu. LYY pulls out
her own sword and attacks, but SL blocks with her Dimensional Imprint. LYY continues
to gathering her energy and attacking, resolving to send SL to her death. LYY then
sends a black object towards SLs head. SL releases the dragon, who shreds it into
powder and flies towards LYY.

Chapters 748-755 Demonic Cave 3

748-749 LYY is sent towards a wall, coughing up blood. SL places her dagger against
her throat. LYY warns her of LYCs retaliation, but both know LYC will kill SL regardless.
Angered, LYY throws a Spirit Bomb towards SL and flees to a safe distance. SL thinks of
the irony, having used them on the Jade Lake twice, before being engulfed in the
explosion. LYY leaves the cave with her 3 FSS since her competitor died. However SL
was saved as her fire stone (hidden library) had absorbed the impact, though injured
by the falling debris. SL notes that LYY used a 9 th grade Spirit Bomb despite knowing
that the dragon was with her.
750 SL laments how when she uses a Spirit Bomb, her opponents level up, whereas
she almost died when one is used on her. Outside the Demonic Cave, RY, the Emperor
and LYX are waiting for them. LYX had given LYY the Spirit Bomb and fears SL may end
up levelling up instead of dying.
751-752 LYY arrives wearing a veil, with the 3 stooges feeling uneasy. BY mentions
that LYY simply arrived first, while LYY retorts not everyone can emerge. BY threatens
LYY, only letting go when RY intervenes. LYY mocks BY over whether hes concerned
over SL because of NL or his own feelings. Since SL is dead, she laments not being
able to see it play out. LYY then gleefully informs him of SLs demise, earning a slap.
753 BY races to the Demonic Cave and RY questions LYY. LYY tearfully recalls how SL
had offended the demonic leader while trying to steal LYYs FSS and was incinerated
by his attack. The two remaining stooges voice their disbelief, causing LYY to swear on
her life that what she recounted was true.
754 Based on LYYs calculating nature, this can only mean at the very least, SL is
dead. AYM and LX think fearfully of NLs retribution. RYs eyes also flash coldly. The
public is sympathetic, recounting SLs meteoric rise, and sudden death. LYY offers her
FSS to RY, who delays accepting until the deadline in 5 days. LYY is angered RY seems
to favour SL more and concerned he seems to know her plots against SL.
755 Reassured by LYX, LYY also cheers up LAQ, promising to have RY help recover. LAQ
laments not seeing SLs death himself and remembers to chase after the matter with
SZ. In the Su Manor, SZ is shocked over SLs death. Thinking of the state of his family,
his anger is directed at SL and is determined to disown her.

Chapters 756-767 Demonic Cave 4

756-757 The emperor feels conflicted. Despite not liking SL, he knew how much NL
valued her and wants to offer words of comfort to SZ. Instead SZ reveals that SL
wasnt his daughter and has LRH confirm this. The Emperor asks for the wet nurse and
her husband, only for LRH to disclose that they went missing after she told NL.
Showing that NL had already known and didnt care about SLs paternity. The Emperor
feels anxious over NLs reaction to SLs death, but comforts himself as NL is free to
marry LYY. SZ heads home, publically removing SLs name from the genealogy records.
However, the public is sympathetic towards SL, and criticize SZs opportunistic nature.
LYY is also furious over speculation of her involvement in SLs death.
758 At the palace, LYY presents her FSS to RY. As hes about to declare her victory, a
voice tells them to wait. During this time, SLs quick thinking had allowed her to
protect herself from fatal injuries, but was buried in rubble. Climbing out, she was then
lost in the maze until she ran into BY.
759-760 BY hugs SL out of relief, informing her LYY had spread rumours of her death.
SL retorts LYY does believe SL is dead. SL then recounts LYYs experience with the CSW
and demonic soldiers, before telling BY how LYY had thrown a 9 th grade Spirit Bomb at
her. BY notes that shes failed to advance despite surviving. They wander through the
maze while looking for FSS, when a rock falls on them, trapping them in a room.
761-762 Both SLs Yan Hua dagger and dragon fail to break them out, and BY reminds
her that if she misses the deadline, LYY will automatically win. SL hears a voice calling
out Fool, but only she can hear it. There is a child trapped in the fire stone she had
gotten from the hidden library. It had reacted to NLs strong presence, but since the
stone has absorbed her blood, it has no choice but to recognize her as its master.
763 The fire brat then tells SL to create an opening using her space magic. SL then
states that she will take BY out, offering him food and water from her space, before
informing him she is a Space mage. BY is shocked at her gifts and luck. SL and BY then
train, with SL receiving instructions from the fire brat on overlapping and combining
strips of space.
764 Due to her space, SL trained to the equivalent of 50 days, determined to make a
dramatic entrance at the most critical time. SL regards BY as a brother, and offers him
as much CSW as he wants, while BY is also determined to do his best to protect her.
765-767 Back to the wait (chapter 758) the person who said it is not Su Luo, but
Yn Xi Fairy, a woman who looks around 20 with a reputation for being ruthless and
raising killers. YX greets RY, with bystanders commenting on her unrequited love for
him. She tells LYY to give up her position as RYs disciple, which she refuses. YX then
reminds RY of his promise to her.

Chapters 768-778 Allocating Disciples

768 RY had once slain YXs disciple and promised his own in return, so YX wants LYY.
RY consents but LYY and LYX continue to protest. RY dismisses them while they cant
oppose YX.
769-770 LYY is shocked over how easily RY handed her over to YX, wondering if he had
calculated this. Meanwhile SL and BY start heading back. SL tells BY to hold on to her
while she breaks them out, and he blushes. They make their way with little
obstruction. During this time BY had trained from the start of 7 th ranked to the peak,
and is now stronger than LX and AYM. SL remembers she hasnt been able to get more
FSS from the Demonic Cave, but the entrance is now sealed.
771 One by one, people notice SL and stare. SL then mocks LYY before revealing she
was at the receiving end of a 9th grade spirit bomb, confirming LYYs involvement in
her disappearance. LYY asks how many FSS she has, which she replies 2.
772 LYY was relying on SL winning so she can be given to YX. YX feels uneasy since RY
appears to be keeping his distance from SL. RY refuses YXs request for both SL and
LYY, and to trade LYY for SL.
773-774 YX tears off LYYs veil when she continues to protest, showing off the scratch
marks the dragon had made on her face. The crowd remarks on how unfortunate it is,
since the scars are deep and hard to heal. RY tells YX to take care of her disciple,
throwing YX an elixir for the scars. LYY has no choice but to follow her. RY then
distances himself from LYY, telling her YX is her master now. As LYY prepares to leave,
AYM reminds her of her vow if her tale of SLs death is false, she would commit
suicide.
775 LYY pales, causing YX to look down on her. YX slaps LYY, thinking that RY has bad
judgement and how shed discard LYY if she hadnt just stolen her. She then
intervenes, so SL generously lets LYY off, knowing that her actions would infuriate YX
and that shed take it out on LYY. RY intervenes when LYY challenges SL, stating that
while its unfortunate, both of them were at similar levels. SL then bows to be received
as a disciple. RY informs her that her senior brother (AL) will receive her in 3 days,
before fleeing.
777 SZ is in the crowd with a dark face. NLs allies proceed to mock him, while the
crowd notes that SLs status is now higher than his. BY trips SZ but no one assists him
up. The emperor is secretly glad he didnt push the marriage with LYY or hed be worse
off than SZ.
778 SL tells SZ she knew they werent related and wouldve separated from him
herself if he hadnt saved her the effort. SL reveals to the 3 stooges that shes
concerned over LL but NL had asked them to take care of it. The next day SL visits AL
and he hurries her since RY lives in Misty Cloud Peak ( Yn W Fng), which takes
3 days. She speeds off on the DSH.
Su Family Status
SZ Su Zian (SLs father; laughing stock for disowning SL)
MS Madam Su (SZs main wife; bedridden)
SJY Su Jingyu (Oldest brother; bedridden)
SQ Su Qing (2nd sister; missing an arm and missing in general)
SW Su Wan (3rd sister; raped, killed and fed to beasts)
SX Su Xi (5th sister; ran away from home)

Chapters 779-790 Probationary Period

779-780 SL and AL make their way up Misty Cloud Peak, facing slippery slopes, high
altitude and the cold. Since its a difficult journey, usually only RY and two attendants
reside there. They arrive to find RY in a bad mood. SL greets him, only to be told he
hasnt accepted her yet due to her low qualifications. He gives her a 3 month
probationary period, during which he can chase her out at any time. SL asks AL if RY is
bipolar.
781-782 RY gives SL a thick book of herbs and 3 days to memorize the contents. RYs
attendants are Zi Y () and Zi Rn (), twin children who are effectively outer
disciples. SLs rooms are close to RYs and she spends the 3 days studying (30 days for
her). RY arrives and has SL recite the contents, and again backwards. SL does so
despite not being able to cheat, and RY and the attendants are shocked.
783 RY reminisces about a stunning woman who was also given 3 days to memorize
and recite the same texts (to save an unknown man) and his eyes become gentle. SL
wakes to find RY in her room. He tells her not to be too proud since shes not the only
one who can achieve this, and gives her half a month to advance to Intermediate
Apothecarist.
784-785 SL is mentored by ZR, an Advanced Apothecarist, who helps her identify
intermediate level herbs. However SL has her own system, which she can do while
blindfolded. She sorts them based on their emotions something only Advanced
Apothecarists and above can do and had taken ZR 10 years to learn. ZR is impressed
and sees why RY can pass up LYY but not SL to YZ.
786-787 ZR then has SL practice the flames used for refining. SL uses the dragons
flams and ZR is shocked since this is also Advanced level, telling her theres no need
to practice. ZR then has SL pick out a medicinal cauldron, only to have her remove Zi
Huos cauldron from her space (chapter 96 the Grand Master Apothecarist whose pill
recipes SL has). ZR is once again shocked at SLs talents, space element, cauldron etc.
and RYs foresight.
788 ZR rushes to inform RY, who already knew. As he leaves, RY smiles. ZR tells SL to
use ZHs cauldron since only RYs can compare in quality. Over the next month, ZR
advises SL on her refining technique the only thing lacking in her line-up. In one and
a half months, SL becomes an Intermediate Apothecarist comparable to Advanced and
ZR has nothing left to teach her.
789-790 SL enters RYs study and finds a painting of an unrivalled beauty hanging on
his wall. RY catches her, and stops SL as shes about to retreat. He has SL kneel in
front of the painting, alternating between staring at the two. After a few hours, SL
yawns and wants to leave but RY has her stay. SL asks if she is his wife (mistress of the
household). RYs face becomes complicated.

Chapters 791-802 Rematch with Li Yao Xiang

791 SL is shocked when RY says no, since RYs qualifications are too good to pass up.
RY refuses to tell SL who the woman is, but reveals that he has no wife. He is surprised
when SL recites a line from a poem, but she doesnt know where she heard it from. SL
asks RY about her real parents.
792 SL feels that with RYs controlled nature, he should already know, however he
refuses to tell her. SL speculates about her origins, casting her parents in a negative
light (pirates, bandits, illegitimate). When she comes to her mothers side, RY erupts
with anger, showing while hes indifferent to her father, he has deep feeling for her
mother. RY calms down and tells SL her mother was the most beautiful woman.
793-794 SL is about to ask whether its the woman in the portrait when RY tells her to
drop it, hinting he had intervened in NLs investigations. 6 months pass and SL has
almost broken through to Advanced Apothecarist, while the quality of her pills is at
least Advanced level. However, RY is dissatisfied with her lack of combat experience
and gives her a year to gather 3 Languishing Red Beans ( Xing S Rn Hng
Du Love-Sick Dyed Red Beans) from the Dark Forests. The forest is filled with beasts
to train her and the LRB will help her promote to Advanced Apothecarist. ZRs twin, Zi
Yu, goes with her.
795 ZR asks RY if hes worried about SL but RY hints that this is a test set by a
Goddess for SL. If she cant pass this, she wouldnt be able to shoulder the continent.
Meanwhile, SL and ZY have been running towards the Dark Forests for 3 days. Sensing
danger, SL dodges thunderbolts, to find ZY missing. Instead she encounters LYX, LYYs
8th ranked uncle.
796-798 LYX attacks SL, but she blocks with her space magic, creating a void. LYX is
shocked she blocked, despite the differences in their strength. Attacking again, LYX is
determined to kill her before RY finds out. However, this merely causes SL to fall in a
comical position. In reality, it causes her internal injuries. SL continues receiving LYXs
hits until she falls against a tree. SL threatens LYX with a Spirit Bomb, causing him to
hesitate. She runs when LYX jumps away, only for him to realize she had used a pebble
to trick him. LYX continues chasing SL, until he runs into ZY.
799-800 LYX is intimidated by ZYs deadly aura but refuses to back down. LYX fights
with ZY, dodging his very efficient and lethal moves. ZY falls to the ground while LYX
falls against a tree, in a similar state to SL. ZY tells SL to finish off LYX. SL refuses since
shes injured and LYX is still stronger, so ZY rips LYXs arm off with two fingers before
leaving. LYX resumes attacking SL. SL dodges but LYX is still 8 th ranked.
801-802 SL sneaks towards LYX, holding a dagger to his neck. LYX attacks, fending her
off, and continues to dodge her but has nowhere to run. Seeing him struggle, SL
reveals that the dagger was a distraction and that hes been pulled into her space
where she has full control, and uses her space magic to fatally wound him. Due to
their mutual hate, she sneers and tells him her involvement with LATs death so he
cant even die in peace. ZY and SL then burn his body, with ZY telling SL not to leave a
carcass when she kills. They proceed to the Dark Forest, located at the centre of the
four countries: Dong Ling in the East, Xi Jin in the West, Nan Feng in the South and Bei
Mo in the North.

Chapters 803-810 The Dark Forest

803-804 The Dark Forest is filled with beasts and trees so tall that even sunlight cant
enter. ZY tells SL that once hes helped her 3 times the quest will be considered a
failure. The situation with LYX counts as the first. SL makes her way in the damp forest,
heading South-East towards the LRB, when a swarm of 2 nd and 3rd ranked Golden
Crowned Snakes attack and ZY disappears. SL has no problem killing them
individually, but the sheer number overwhelms her. However, SL has accumulated a
lot of Energy Recovery Pills. She directly attacks their head, using the fire she had the
little dragon spit into the Fire Stone.
805-807 The King of these snakes is 4th ranked, on par with 5th ranked martial artists.
SL uses her void and Yan Hua dagger to block and slash it. The snake king charges
towards her, only to flee past and SL chases it through the forest, before getting close
enough to use her Dimensional Imprint to remove its tail. She finishes it off with her
fireballs. Beasts ranked 4th level and above would leave crystals corresponding to their
level i.e. red for 4th, yellow for 6th and purple for 10th, and SL finds a Red Crystal near
the snakes head. She also notices a well-dressed corpse behind a tree and fears her
path may be a treacherous one, but ZY tells her to continue along the original route. At
night SL is glad shes a space mage and pulling out enough items to fill a house, while
she cooks the snake king in a soup.
808 Continuing on, she finds 2 corpses which have been torn apart by a beast which is
still lingering in the area, and a girl whos barely survived. SL is about to move on,
when ZY tells her to save the girl since she came from Purgatory City ( Lin Y
Chng) one of the 10 major forces.
809-810 SL carries the girl and dresses her wounds, giving her ALs Flesh Regrowth Pill
and other medicine. SL continues to practice merging strips of space, until the girl
wakes up. The girl is shocked a 5th ranked expert was able to rescue her and that her
wounds recovered so quickly. The girl is slightly arrogant but wont forget the favour.
She then leaves. ZY tells SL shes Purgatory Citys Holy Maiden (Shng G ), the 7th
ranked Z Yn (; ZiY). SL continues her original path and ends up lost. She
questions the map but since it provided the RY, she can only accept.

Chapters 811-820 Alliance with Zi Yan

811 Lost, SL follows the sound of fighting and encounters ZiY again, fighting a man
dressed in familiar black clothes. ZiY is on the weaker side, when she puts away her
sword, throwing a ball of light. The black clothed man retaliates with a Dimensional
Imprint, shocking SL.
812 The two attacks collide, sending ZiY flying. SL is impressed with her strong eyes
and saves her with her void armour. ZiY doesnt like her meddling, but SL tells her she
has yet to repay her. The man in black is a lackey of the Jade Lake, sent to retrieve the
CSW producing cup ZiY had stolen. SL wonders how the lackey would know the
Dimensional Imprint technique, while she and ZiY team up.
813 SL uses her fireballs to distract the man, allowing ZiY to sneak an attack with her
sword. It cuts him but isnt fatal, so he attempts to attack SL. The man finds that hes
slowing down with each attack, as SL manipulates gravity, and uses a dagger to cut
his major artery.
814 SL laughs when the man calls out for LYX, telling him shes already sorted him.
She then follows ZYs advice, destroying the evidence by burning the man alive. She
and ZiY heal their wounds, with ZiY discovering SL is an Apothecarist. ZiY then
mentions since SL has her own grudges, her actions werent to save ZiY but out of
vengeance towards the Jade Lake.
815 ZiY follows SL out of the forest, but SL is also lost. Laughing, they seem to have
become friends. ZiY then offers herself as a guide, folding paper crane to determine
their position. ZiY is curious about SL since her speed and fighting strength are above
5th rank, while SL is glad to finally make a female friend.
816-817 SL takes Advanced ERPs to keep up, and ZiY suspects shes from a strong
Apothecary family. SL wishes to teleport. Hearing this, the fire brat in her Fire Stone
appears, taking the form of a 7 year old. He tells SL to call him uncle, before revealing
his name D Sh Tin (), once the strongest person in the continent. He tells her
that she would naturally be able to after fusing space magic with SDS. However her
version is only the preliminary version. The true version is with the royal family of
Western Jin, the Ou Yng clan (). Catching up to ZiY, SL unpacks her items and ZiY
believes she owns a space storage item.
818-820 Space storage items had reappeared on the continent over the past year, but
cost a fortune at auctions. This further proves ZiYs rich girl speculations. ZiY pulls out
the Jade Lakes CSW producing cup, drinking it and promising SL a cup. When she
wakes, she finds it in the arms of the little dragon. SL coaxes the dragon while ZiY is
shocked SLs spiritual pet is a dragon. Since the dragon refuses to give up the cup, SL
reminds ZiY of her promise to give her a cup.

Chapters 821-831 Competing for Languishing Red Beans

821-822 ZiY tells SL she reminds her of her 3 rd brother, and SL gives her a cup of her
own CSW to compensate. ZiY is shocked at the superior quality and accepts the trade.
In her space, the dragon and DST fight over the cup. The dragon then pees on the fire
stone DST is trapped in.
823 SL examines the cup, uncertain why its so attractive to him. The dragon throws
the cup, breaking it and SL discovers a Secluded Necropolis of the Gods map piece
(chapter 44) in the fragments and is delighted since this is the real treasure. She now
has 2 of 4 pieces needed to access SNG.
824 ZiY wakes SL, warning her not to be so unguarded. She unhappily tells SL that
theyre heading towards Lu Y Din ( Falling Feather Temple) territory. One of
the 10 major families and an ally of the Jade Lake one of their daughters married in
as LYYs aunt.
825 They speed up and ZiY is surprised SL can keep up, finding her even more
mysterious. ZiYs paper crane wears out and they now need to rely on SLs
navigational skills. SL has no sense of direction but is comforted since ZY is lurking
around and she can always rely on the dragon.
826 The dragon becomes excited and runs ahead. SL and ZiY follow and is led to five
variation (mutated) LRB, which are even more valuable. The dragon and ZiY try to pick
them, only to be injured by the tree.
827-828 Two people from the Luo Yu family arrive, also for the variation LRB. The man
Lu Ho Chn (), is about to breakthrough to Advanced Apothecarist and finds it
hard to accept that SL became RYs disciple. While his sister, Lu Di Y (), has a
grudge against ZiY since childhood.
829-830 As SL is only 5th ranked, they dismiss her as ZiYs attendant. ZiY and LHC
argue over the variation LRB. Attempting to negotiate, both sides want 3 of the 5 LRB,
so they decide to compete and see who can pick it first. LDY takes out her Gold-Silver
Silk Gloves (), spun by Golden Silkworms that only feed on Crystals, green
coloured and above. They can block 8th ranked attacks and ZiY laments how suitable
they would be for SLs Dimensional Imprint. LDY dodges the LRB trees attacks, only
for the dragon to dart out, bite her finger and kick her away. LDY is sent flying towards
a lake, where a crocodile chomps her butt.
831 LHC is about to rescue LDY, when the LRB tree uproots itself, running away as
though on 4 legs. Seeing ZiY and SL chase after it, he forsakes LDY and follows,
sending 2 grunts to rescue her instead. LHC also notices that LDY no longer has the
GSSG, and is surprised that SL can match his and ZiYs speed.

Chapters 832-840 Silverback Gorilla 1

832-833 As they come across more forks in the forest, ZiY directs LHC to a shortcut,
which he ignores. Meanwhile, the little dragon is still hanging on despite the trees
attempts to bat it away. Spitting out the stolen GSSG from its mouth, the dragon wears
it like a shirt, protecting it when the frustrated tree lands a hit. The tree runs into a
cave, not knowing that that the dragon is still clinging on and that his bond with SL
also lets her track them. SL arrives to find that the dragon had caused the LRB tree to
wilt for bullying it.
834-835 The dragon hands SL a GSSG glove with 2 LRB and is reluctant the hand over
the rest, causing ZiY to laugh. SL stops the LRB tree from sneaking away, giving it two
choices: to be burnt or become her spirit plant. It reluctantly agrees, thinking of the
shame of serving a mere 5th ranked expert. SL transports it into her space, and the
tree is delighted in its new environment. SL takes it out again, and it begs her to
return, immediately agreeing to a contract before being transported back to her space.
Watching on, ZiY realizes SL is an Apothecarist due to her fireballs and now plant
contract.
836-837 ZiY is shocked since plant contracts usually only work when raised from a
seedling but SL managed to have a thousand-year tree beg for a contract. They notice
the forest is quiet and that the only sound is from a mutated Silver Back Gorilla (
Jngng Yun Wng) thats at least 8th ranked. SL and ZiY try to head back before it
notices them, running into LHC and LDY. LHC blocks them, loudly demanding the LRB.
SL tells them about the gorilla, only for LHC to dismiss it. He makes a bet if there is
one, hell kill it. If there isnt shell hand over the LRB. Wanting to leave, SL agrees but
is forced to stay until the bet is settled.
838-839 LHC laughs since the cave is empty, until LDY screams, waking the gorilla.
LHC is worried since he can deal with a normal gorilla, but not a mutated silverback.
The gorilla attacks. LHC grabs LDY and barely manages to dodge. The gorilla continues
attacking LDY since it was her sharp voice that woke it up. Even SL and ZiY are scared.
The Luo Yu family goons guarding the siblings are ripped to pieces, giving them time
to run with the siblings at the front, followed by SL and ZiY, then the gorilla.
840 LHC takes out a bottle of Advanced ERP, giving one to LDY. Hearing LDY mock
them over it, SL takes out two bottles, giving one to ZiY. ZiY laughs since they can now
endure longer, and gives LDY one to show the pills are also superior. LDY cries out, but
LHC is still discontent with LDY for waking the gorilla. The gorilla suddenly emerges,
throwing boulders. SL blocks one aimed at ZiY with her void armour, and since LDY
cant see it, she gleefully assumes theyve died.

Chapters 841-848 Silverback Gorilla 2

841 LDY forgets to shield her face and is scarred by the falling debris. Her cries make
LHC even more irritated. When LHC notices that ZiY and SL havent died, he gets
closer to them, wanting to take advantage of their shield. However, they end up being
more vulnerable since SLs armour can only protect 2.
842-843 The gorillas fist strikes and kills one of the Luo family guards. They continue
running until they see a waterfall, but they have to jump across a crevice to reach it.
LHC reaches first and attacks SL to push her towards the gorilla, but it has no impact
since shes in her void. SL kicks him aside, grabs ZiY and, throwing a chain to the other
side, they both swing over the gap. Seeing this, the gorilla is even angrier and attacks
LHC. LDY pulls him away in time and they cross the gap using her vines. LHC then
threatens SL over the kick.
844 SL and ZiY mock LDYs injured face, causing her to cry. LHC tells her hell get her
one of ALs Flesh Regrowth Pills. However, SL knows that hes stopped making them
out of guilt since regrowing LRH and LCFs hands. The four make their way through the
forest, only for the gorilla to reappear. LDY screams again, alerting it. SL and ZiY run
off, but the gorilla is only interested in LDY. LHC cant abandon her so he grabs her,
chasing after SL and ZiY, intending to take them down with him.
845 LDY pulls out a small bag containing a 9 th grade Spirit Bomb and gives it to LHC.
He hesitates over whether to throw it at SL and ZiY or the gorilla, before deciding on
the latter. The explosion rips the surrounding environment, injuring the four, but the
gorilla survives showing that its above 9th ranked and furious. LHC throws another
Spirit Bomb this time 10th ranked.
846 The surrounding area is destroyed. SL is concerned where LHC got the second
Spirit Bomb from, only to have the angry gorilla emerge half crippled but even
stronger now 10th ranked.
847 The gorilla sends another palm towards the Luo siblings, when a 60-something
year old man appears, rescuing them. ZiY explains that hes their grandfather, Lu
Shng Tin () who was probably summoned by LHCs Lifeline Stone ( Qi
Ji Sh Rescue Stone), which activates when hes in mortal danger. LST stares coldly
at SL and ZiY, before entering a life-or-death struggle with the gorilla.
848 They watch on until the little dragon jumps out, running towards them with
interest. LST and the gorilla exchange blows, when the gorillas fist dents a mountain,
revealing an inscription proclaiming it as the grave site of C Nng (). Its rumoured
that his grave contains a SNG map piece which is trading at 10 Purple Crystals at
Purgatory City, only no ones ever claimed it.

Chapters 849-857 Benefits of Having Good Connections

849 SL is surprised SZ never exchanged his piece, but less so after knowing his rank is
too low to even hear the offer. LST has finished the fight, and is comforting his
grandchildren when they notice the little dragon flying back with Luo Yi Grass (
Lu Y Co). Not only is it rare, LDY is named after it. Seeing SL and the dragon, LHC is
angry. He and the dragon attack each other.
850 LST intervenes, taking the items, causing SL to sneer that an elder would bully
juniors. LDY states the treasures were on their property, and that their Spirit Bomb and
LST had rescued them, despite being the one who provoked the gorilla. ZiY reminds
her about her damaged face while SL swears AL will never provide her with a FRP.
851 SL reveals her ties with AL and RY. LHC and LDY sneer out of disbelief. LST is
interested in the dragon and the treasures itd bring. He tries to force her to hand it
over with spiritual pressure. SL can withstand up to 7 th ranked, but is at her limit, when
ZiY reminds them that SL has ties with RY someone the Luo family cant afford to
offend.
852 ZiY also claims to be a disciple of Purgatory City, but the Luo family dismisses
both claims, examining the items the little dragon had gathered. This includes a
Triangle Reflector ( Sn Jio Lng Jng) which can pick up the shadows of any
thief, a Boundless Divine Bow ( Cng Mng Shn Gng) an unrivalled longranged weapon, the Luo Yi Grass an Advanced Apothecary ingredient and a 10 th
grade Spirit Bomb which would replace the one they just wasted. LST is convinced the
mountain is filled with treasures. SL calls them thieves but doesnt use her void
armour out of fear LST could sense it.
853 As LST continues pressuring SL, the patriarch of the Beichen family and BYs
grandfather, Bichn Ln () arrives. Since there is animosity between the Beichen
and Luo family, and hearing SL is RYs disciple, he removes the force holding SL down.
BL also insults LST in BYs style for his shamelessness, while ZiY reassures SL, despite
his quirks, hed never steal from a younger generation. BL offers to fight LST, causing
LST to hesitate. RY then arrives.
854-856 The Luo family are in shock, while RY asks SL if her task is complete. SL has
found the LRB but is facing LSTs opposition. RY smiles darkly at LST, asking if he
wants a fight. BL laughs at LST for daring to pick a fight with RY. LHC angrily throws
down the items. RY pinches him, causing him to demote from the peak of 6 th ranked to
1st ranked. LST is humiliated at having his grandson become a waste in front of him.
857 LST threatens to turn SL into a waste but RY will bury the Luo Yu family in
retaliation. BL is shocked that the usually indifferent RY would fiercely protect SL. This,
and BYs affectionate tone in describing SL in his letters, causes him to be intrigued. SL
also has a good impression of BL. BL then smooths the situation over by telling LST
its to be expected when picking on RYs disciple.

Chapters 858-868 Tomb Raiding

858-859 BL greets a newly arrived L Xio Fng () with an insult. LXF is from the
Jade Lake and has also arrived for the inscriptions. The three elders (RY, BL and LXF)
read the inscription, when a force shoots out from it towards LDY. Dodging, she
accidentally pulls on the weakened LHC, causing him to receive the hit. Looking coldly
at SL, LXF has all the younger generation leave. LDY rudely tells ZiY the inscription has
nothing to do with her, so ZiY tells her off for using her brother as a shield, whereas
LHC had always guarded her during the gorilla attack.
860-862 The mountain shakes, causing boulders to fall. SL takes ZiY into her void,
while LDY once again uses LHC as a shield having grown used to his protection. LHC
ends up half buried with a crushed leg, and furious. LDY goes searching for people to
pull him out and is frightened since SL and ZiY are no longer in sight. A herd of Strong
Fire Rhinos charge towards her. LDY runs but they soon catch up. As shes about to be
trampled, she manages to climb onto a rhinos back, only to have a boulder head
towards her while celebrating. SL remarks that if they work together they still have a
chance of surviving, otherwise A divine light appears in the sky, and ZiY remarks
that Ci Ning hasnt died. As CN guards the SNG, hes even more useful than the map.
Seeing the elders chase after him, SL and ZiY head towards the now deserted tomb.
863 The dragon charges forward, followed by SL and ZiY but the path is covered in the
blood and bones of beasts. Sensing danger, they press on as none of them want to
give up the treasures that lie ahead. They enter an empty hall, but SL is confident that
if there is any treasure, the dragon will be able to find it.
864-866 The dragon jumps towards ZiY, delighting her, only to dig at the ground below
her. SL picks up the slab of rock that was part of the floor, telling ZiY that its actually a
source stone with something sealed inside, and uses her Yan Hua dagger to cut out a
chubby and ditsy little blue elf. Both are shocked that the rock would contain a living
creature, when the little dragon attacks it. ZiY takes the elf into her arms and SL
speculates that its an Elemental Elf ( Yun S Jng Lng) which can give its
master an infinite supply of energy something SL doesnt need but is beneficial for
ZiY who doesnt have a mountain of ERPs. The elf bites her finger and quickly runs off.
867-868 SL and ZiY chase it, when they notice YX holding the little dragon by its tail.
SL tells ZiY to go ahead, before asking YX to let the dragon go. Each of YXs retorts are
barbed and hostile. SL tells her RY left to chase CN, but YX came for SL. SL is unwilling
to go with her, and is hit with YXs full force. At this time, ZiY is chasing the elf as it
attempts to eat dirt and grass. She takes it to find fruit, and takes out more paper
cranes to send a message to her 3rd brother, not knowing that YX had kidnapped SL.

Chapters 869-878 Su Luo in Captivity

869 In a cave located in the north, NL receives ZiYs message. ZiY had been curious
over what type of girl would catch his eye, so he had her watch over SL. While she
wasnt his strongest ally, hes more comfortable leaving SL with a girl. Hes satisfied
that SL is safe, but regrets not being able to protect her himself due to his unstable
state, but also to allow her to grow. He continues practicing to return to her faster.
Meanwhile YX has taken SL to an unknown place.
870 SL leaves a trail of grass and rice, only for YX catch her. She stares at SL, unwilling
to believe that a cold and proud woman couldve borne her. YX tells SL RY will be
chasing CN for months and that she had set up the tomb as a trap. SL asks if she
minds causing RY to hate her, but YX states itll just be another reason.
871-872 YX tells SL that RY wont find out if she leaves no evidence. SL tries to bargain
to save ZiYs life, offering to tell YX anything but is too weak to be of interest. SL is
vexed over being so weak. YX pretends otherwise, but is concerned since Purgatory
Citys position is unique. YX leaves SL with LYY. SL wakes in a dungeon with her body
bruised and sore from being beaten by LYY. LYY gloats on the other side.
873-874 LYY tells SL that shes imprisoned at the bottom of Rng () Lake, and that
ZiY has been taken care of. SL grabs LYY, angering her since LYY is 6 th ranked. SL
shoots a sleeve arrow towards her, and LYY admits ZiY is still alive before falling to the
floor. SL tells LYY shell kill her if ZiY dies. LYY retreats to a safe distance, causing SL to
mock her. LYY is confident SL cant break out of prison, while SL flicks her sleeve, using
the mutated LRB trees vines to attack LYY.
875-876 LYY manages to cut some vines, but is thrown towards SLs cage and hung up
by the vines, shocked SL managed to find such a strong spirit plant over a short
timeframe. SL mocks LYY as the LRB tree slams her against the cage despite her pleas.
SL takes the plant back into her space. A seething LYY asks why SL always opposes
her, but she had started it. LYY then threatens SL.
877-878 YX appears as they argue. A maid follows, holding a strange smelling ink that
SL finds repulsive. LYY complains over SLs mistreatment of her, only for YX to slap and
beat LYY, before reprimanding her, a 6th ranked expert, for losing to RYs 5th ranked
disciple. Seeing her angry, SL knows why RY prefers to keep his distance. LYY
obediently covers her mouth when YX scolds her. SL assumes her apprenticeship has
been a bitter one and is grateful towards RY. YX removes the cage, and has LYY paint
SLs face with the ink.

Chapters 879-889 Yan Xias Compound

879 The ink is to reveal SLs true face. SL is confused, but YX is convinced over her
background after hearing from LYY how RY rigged the exams to make LYY stand out
and allowed YX to snatch her, while secretly hiding SL to take as his real disciple. LYY
also disclosed that SLs parentage is unknown, and YX recalls how RY refused to give
SL to her.
880-881 LYY approaches SL with a brushed dipped in ink, when the little dragon leaps
out, kicking LYY towards a wall. YX traps the dragon in a ball of light. YX paints SLs
face black with ink, telling her that if she takes the antidote within 3 days itll reveal
her true face, but if she isnt wearing a disguise or doesnt take it, her face will remain
black for life. YX doesnt know SL has almost broken through to Advanced Apothecarist
and can refine the medicine herself, and that she stores ingredients in her space.
Meanwhile the little dragon is anxious over separating from SL, but YX laughs, taking it
away.
882 LYY stays behind to guard SL. SL uses her LRB vines to break LYYs wrist. The next
2 days, the recovered LYY denies SL food and water, while eating delicacies in front of
her, wanting SL to beg at her feet. However SL snacks on food and CSW from her
space as LYY sleeps.
883 LYY tries to tempt SL with diluted CSW, before erupting in anger due to lack of
response. SL recalls LYYs first appearance as an otherworldly fairy, and how she now
resembles YX. Since SL has the variation LRB, she can become an Advanced
Apocatherist, with peak Advanced level strength. She successfully refines her cure,
grateful the dragon had given her the Luo Yi Grass the most valuable ingredient.
884 SL uses a sleeping drug on LYY. She then uses her space magic and walks out of
the cage. Holding a knife to LYYs neck, shes tempted to slash it but restrains herself
when she assassinates LYY, shell do so without a trace. Through their mental link, SL
hears the dragon crying, telling her YX is currently cultivating in the centre of the
complex.
885 SL sneaks around the large and mostly empty compound. Running into a maid,
she sends her Dimensional Imprint before stabbing her in the chest. The maid
retaliates, throwing a dagger at SL, only to have it stopped. SL slashes the maids
throat, killing her.
886 SL sneaks into YXs chamber, posing as a maid. The dragon becomes excited but
YX keeps her eyes closed. SL feels tense, but YX is certain SL cant break out of her
cage something that will hold even 9th ranked experts.
887-888 SL takes the ball of light with the dragon in it. YX, thinking its the maid, and
tells her to store SLs antidote away, before falling asleep. SL takes this chance to
empty out the medicine cabinet, taking rare treasures and 2 Spirit Bombs. SL makes
her way out without alerting YX. Trying to escape the compound, she ends up walking
in circles. SL tries forming her own ball of light to break out, sending it towards a wall,
only for it to rebound noisily, waking YX.
889 SL heads back to her cage. YX arrives, furious that her medical cabinet filled with
valuables is missing. She interrogates LYY, who denies seeing anything unusual, and
checks over SL. She has LYY take SL to the refining room.

Chapters 890-900 Escape 1

890 YX throws SL into a boiling pot, telling her itll remove the ink after she dies. YX
then tells her the reason for this a woman named Yan Hua. SL is surprised since this
is also her daggers name, and tells her RY likes the woman in the portrait in his study,
infuriating YX since RYs still infatuated.
891 YX closes the lid on SL. SL endures for a while due to her flame element, but soon
her face starts blistering. SL remembers her Fire Stone which had saved her on the
island (chapter 475) and is greeted by DST. The temperature in the pot then decreases
to lukewarm.
892 SL takes out the three LRB and other ingredients used to help advance. She
begins refining, adding in more items until all 9 herbs and 3 LRB are in the cauldron.
SL manipulates her fire for 3 days within her space (1hr in the real world), until the pill
is formed.
893 YX opens the cauldron to find SL alive with ink still on her face. Not knowing SL
has the cure, she tries to scare her into taking the medicine, telling her the time is
almost up. The stone is back in her space and DST jokes that with her current face,
shed train more.
894-895 SL continues stewing in the pot, suffering since she cant take out her Fire
Stone. She notices shes finally about to break through to 6 th ranked and begins
cultivating. However, the dragon in her space senses her pain and starts rolling itself
around in the ball of light. When the ball touches the Fire Stone, it explodes, leaving a
slightly charred dragon. Under DSTs directions, it retrieves the Seven Nights Red
Shawl Grass ( Hng Sh Q Y Co) from YXs medical cabinet and throws it
outside her space to save her.
896 SL swallows the whole plant which regulates her temperature, while purifying and
revitalizing her. YX tells LYY to watch over SL and report any changes, worried that SL
would take advantage of LYYs stupidity. LYY takes out a bottle of corrosives shes
refined.
897-898 The dragon hands SL a Nine Days Sea-Blue Snow Lotus ( Ji Tin
B Hi Xu Lin), causing the ink on her face to fall away and reveal a face that shocks
the dragon and DST. However SL is busy promoting to 6 th ranked and doesnt notice.
LYY senses the changes in SLs power level but is blown away as SL emerges with her
ethereal appearance. LYY uses vines to hold SL, calling to YX. However SL grabs LYYs
corrosives and throws it at her, damaging her face and arms, before sending fireballs
to destroy the room, leaving before YX arrives. YX is furious and angrily asks LYY about
SLs face.
899-900 YXs vicious expression causes LYY to faint. YX slaps her awake and LYY tells
her SLs face is different. YX chases after SL, sending balls of light towards her. SL
blocks with her void armour and takes out 2 Spirits Bomb that YX recognizes as from
her medicine cabinet. YX falls back when SL throws one at her and uses the other to
break the barrier around the compound, and the lakes water begins pouring in. SL
makes her way through the water, not decreasing in speed due to her space magic,
and YX sends people after but they fail to catch her. SL emerges in a river which
borders Western Jin and Dong Ling.

Chapters 901-910 Escape 2

901-902 SL swims from Rong Lake to the surface of the Cold River ( Lng Jing),
feeling exhausted. She sees merchant ships, but hesitates boarding since YX will
probably find her. Swimming until nightfall, she sees YXs maids searching ships, killing
those that resist. Staying hidden, SL touches her face and notices its changes. Aside
from a black eye on her right, her face is even more impressive than LYYs.
903 YX arrives on a ship and SL goes deeper into hiding, fearing YX would sense her
energy. SL starts swimming to the other side of the river. Running into one of YXs
men, she instantly kills him before throwing his corpse into her space and wearing his
clothes.
904 During her swim, the people she runs into take no notice of her due to her clothes.
Using her spiritual energy to scan ahead, she notices the area in front of her is
unguarded. However DST warns her not to go there. SL throws a fish towards the area
and it explodes. YX had set up underwater mines ( Shu D Tin Li Zhn)
over a radius of 50 Li. 2 men appear to search, but cant see that its SL in the dark, so
she quickly swims away.
905 One of the two men senses something off and they chase after her. Theyre about
to attack when the dragon bites one in the throat and the LRB tree strangles the other.
However this action alerts the other guards so SL throws them both into her space and
swims away.
906-907 SL reprimands her pets as their priority is to escape. DST tells SL YX is setting
off her underwater mines since she can now pinpoint her. Under DSTs directions, SL
summons her energy, charging towards a whirlpool with her void armour, and throws
DSTs Fire Stone, as he uses all his energy to break her out. YX arrives at the mine
field, only to find that SL has escaped.
908 SL flees west where the defence is weaker. She imitates one of the guards,
attempting to redirect them. When it fails, she attacks with her Dimensional Imprint,
taking them out and steals a uniform. SL makes her way to the mountains, shocked
that YX can mobilize such a large force.
909-910 Hiding amongst YXs men, SL wonders why LYY didnt provide them with an
accurate description, not knowing that LYY wasnt given the opportunity to, since YX
had stormed off (chapter 899). A subordinate questions the absurdity of looking for an
unknown girl, speculating that SL might be disguised as one of them. The captain
orders them to remove their masks. SL was standing at the back and tries to sneak
away, running when the captain orders her back. The team of 20 chase her 10 5 th
ranked, 9 6th ranked, led by a 7th ranked captain but their chase doesnt encourage
other teams to join them. SL hides within the jungle, using her LRB tree to kill off the
slowest member that was lagging behind.

Chapters 911-923 Escape 3

911-912 Of the remaining 19, another is killed off, 8 join the captain at the front of the
search party, with 9 weaker members lingering behind. SL attacks individual members
of the captains team, while using her spirit pets for groups of 2-3 as they stray. By the
time the captain realizes, only 2 remain. Panicked, he lights a flare for them to gather,
only for SL to appear. SL attacks the 6th ranked member, swiping her Yan Hua dagger
at his neck while blocking his attacks with her void armour, before finishing him off
with her Dimensional Imprint. The little dragon fights the captain, chomping on his
waist, followed by his neck. The 9 weaker members arrive and are shocked at the
scene.
913 Fearing the noise will draw attention, SL pulls out all her trump cards until only 5
6th ranked experts remain. SL lures them with fireballs, slashing one across the throat,
while the LRB tree slams 2 to their deaths and the little dragon bites a 4 th to death.
One remains, but the dragon and tree gang up on him. However the commotion draws
YX to the scene.
914-916 SL runs deeper into the forest, chased by a flying YX and her thousands of
minions. SL looks on as a captain discusses their search, only for the little dragon to
pee on him. The captain calls for backup, with mixed feelings over being peed on and
finding SL. A dozen people leap onto SLs tree, only for the little dragon to kick them
down, leaving a dent in their heads. The men uproot the tree, and SL regrets having
using YXs Spirit Bombs earlier (chapter 899), when the little dragon throws the Fire
Stone containing DST, setting the men on fire as they come in contact with it. The
dragon flies around with DST, chasing the men, only to flee when it senses YX.
917-918 YX is infuriated since SL sent her grunts running, and kills them. SL heads
towards a cliff and is trapped by YX. Seeing SLs face, she recalls Yan Hua, and her
inferiority complex due to YHs training speed, the various men protecting her, and
how she cant catch up to RYs strength even now. SL mocks her, but when YX sees her
black eye, she bursts out laughing since shes prettier than SLs current state. SL
reminds her of RYs retaliation but YX has covered her tracks.
919 YX grabs SL, seeing her edge towards the cliff, crushing her bones in the process.
SL, thinking shes about to die, reflects on her weakness despite all her talents and
thinks of NL. The little dragon appears, and exposes DST and his flame attack. Injured,
YX instinctively lets go of SL, dropping her off the cliff. The dragon and DST follow.
920-922 YX had wanted to keep SL alive to avenge her injuries from the Spirit Bomb
(chapter 899) and sends her men in after her. SL continues swimming until she runs
into a luxury cruise ship and is seen by u Yng Y Ln (), a favoured Princess
in Western Jin. OY has her maid retrieve SLs body, telling her to save her if shes
beautiful but throw her back if she isnt. The maid, seeing SL, is delighted that its an
otherworldly, breathtaking beauty. She also notices that shes speckless despite
washing up from a river, and carries her on-board. OY is delighted at SLs appearance
and sends for a doctor.
923 SL wakes up to see OY looking at her, having not been able to approach due to
her barrier. OY arrogantly tells her she saved SL so she has to repay her by staying as
her palace maid for 3 months. SL surmises that shes Western Jins little princess and
agrees since she has a use for her.

Chapters 924-933 Yun Qi 1: Return of the Backstabber

924 SL finally sees her current face its similar to her previous appearance but
tweaked as though she was a 7 who became a perfect 10. OY pretends to cut off a
mans finger, offering to feed it to SL. SL states that shell eat what OY commands,
hinting she knows that its a piece of radish covered in blood from OYs steak. OY
throws a tantrum over SLs subservient tone.
925 OY asks SL for her name. Thinking YX is still after her, she borrows a character
from NLs name, calling herself Yn Lu ( Landing/Falling Clouds). OY objects since
its a pair with her 3rd brother, Yn Q ( Rising Clouds), before thinking theyd be
well suited. SL twitches and inquires after him. Despite being it inappropriate, OY feels
familiarity with SL and tells her YQ used to be sour and miserable, but suddenly
brightened up, and trains at an incredible speed.
926-927 SL suspects YQ (chapter 1) may have also crossed over. A few days later,
they land and are greeted by YQ. OY introduces them since their names match. Seeing
SL, his heart flashes with pain and familiarity. SL is also in pain and is clenching her
fists due to her suspicions, despite the face being different. OY pops up, joking about
being their matchmaker, shocking people around them since SL is a lowly maid. She
claims only she can find YQ a wife, and secretly thinks SL is well suited. OY grabs SLs
hands, noticing her unnatural state and has YQ, an Apothecarist, check over SL. SL
shocks everyone by commanding that he lets go.
928 SL apologizes, when YQ calls her Miss Su. Thinking its a test, SL doesnt react,
and offers to change her name if he thinks it shouldnt match with his. YQ states that if
she can change it so easily, Yun Luo shouldnt be her real name. SL retorts that its up
to him, when OY drags YQ away.
929-930 OY has YQ and SL travel with her, before suggesting that they camp outside.
OY takes SL out to hunt, asking her if she fears YQ. SL denies being afraid. OY who SL
notices is at least 5th ranked despite being 10 excitedly picks mushrooms, while SL
throws away the poisonous ones. OY reveals she was born with spiritual power
whereas most activate theirs at 5 and SL and YQ could only use theirs recently.
However, YQ is now one of the strongest on the continent and she hints to SL hes still
available. Since SL has NL, she doesnt want YQ regardless, and tells OY shes
engaged.
931 Seeing OY protest, SL doesnt know what shes done to deserve her affections and
OY tells her YQ once asked her the same thing. SL picks up horse-radish, and OY
mentions sashimi. Returning to YQ, OY tells him SL picked up the horse-radish so
theyre going to eat sashimi. YQ cooks and SL remembers how her ex used to be as
good as a 5-star chef.
932 SL endures OY and YQs attentions, since getting the true Spirit Dance Steps
(chapter 817) is more important. SL recognizes YQs knife skills. When OY asks what to
do with the rest of the fish, they both answer soup. OY jokes about them being a
match and YQ hints hes not adverse to it.
933 YQ smiles gently at SL, while OY tells her shes lucky since only OY has eaten YQs
food before. SL objects to eating with them since shes just a maid. YQ asks OY if shed
object to him loving SL; OY is shocked hes so open about it. SL has no choice but to
join them, feeling that its 60% possible he is her ex, but since she cant figure it out,
she may as well focus on the SDS.

Chapters 934-943 Yun Qi 2

934 SL calmly eats sashimi under YQs scrutiny, before dismissing herself. Onlookers
are shocked at her audacity and the lack of reaction from YQ and OY. Sitting alone in
the carriage, SL is 70% certain its him and remembers her past. Taken in by the
organization as a child, she was often starved during her brutal training. Attempting to
eat bark, she meets a young YQ who fed her a steamed bun each day. Of her batch of
50 children, only she survived. She falls asleep while recalling her last moments. SL is
woken by OY, who treats her more like a playmate than a maid.
935-936 OY presents SL with a garland of lavender coloured Ice Flowers ( Bng
Shung Hu), a medicinal herb that grows on mountain tops and can attract fireflies
which YQ prepared for her. While chasing OY, YQ appears, grabbing her arm. SL tells
him to let go, but he refuses, addressing her as Su Luo. YQ reminds her he can alert
the people looking for SL to confirm. SL has no choice but to stay. YQ mentions that
while the moon seems impossible, astronauts have already reached it, proving hes YQ
from her past. He apologizes, but SL storms off.
937 YQ tells her the safest place to hide is near him. SL rages, telling him not to call
her so familiarly, and should refer to her by last name, before leaving, but YQ is just
glad shes returned to him. In the carriage, OY smirks at an angry SL, cheering on her
brother since its an uphill battle. SL rages over his betrayal, but is determined to stay
for her SDS and to get her revenge.
938-939 OY reassures SL she wont just hand her to YQ. YQ appears, giving OY
steamed buns he personally picked up in the city which OY gleefully tells SL after she
emerges from training. SL isnt impressed hes trying to write over his betrayal by
digging up past memories and throws the bun out of the carriage. SL continues
training, using her space where time is now 100:1 with the outside world. YQ looks
despondent over the thrown bun and OL is even more determined to set them up. The
Western Jin Emperor personally greets OY at the palace and YQ tells her OYs birth was
an omen that miraculously cured his terminal illness.
940-941 OY shows SL off to the Emperor, whos shocked since her face seems familiar.
Leading them into the courtroom, he tolerates SLs questions about recent events,
when his favourite concubine, L Gu Fi ( Li + Highest Concubine Rank) asks for SL
as a serving girl, feeling threatened by her beauty. OY protests as SL is her friend. The
Emperor sides with OY. Concubine Li then suggests he give SL to YQ as a concubine
since hes the only one without a harem. OY is shocked since she had intended for SL
become his wife, while Concubine Li smugly thinks this is a high position for SL.
942 The emperor is angered that someone would suggest for Yan Huas daughter to
become a concubine and tells her to shut up. YQ says hed be lucky to take her as a
wife, while SL rejects, saying shes spoken for. YQ is shocked since he had intended to
win her back but Concubine Li is satisfied she isnt interested in the Emperor and
offers to have him hand down a marriage edict. SL rejects since NL isnt from Western
Jin.
943 YQ smiles gently a sign that hes angry, while the Emperor dismisses the court
to talk to SL alone. The Emperor asks about her mother, so SL takes out the Yan Hua
dagger and shows him. Recognizing it, he believes its YHs keepsake and remarks on
SLs resemblance.

Chapters 944-951 Su Luos Father Candidates: Choose the answer that best
fits.
944-946 The Emperor has SL call him Ouyang Uncle ( uyng Bbo), and tells
her YH was a goddess in the hearts of men, hinting his own affections. He was kept as
a servant for 3 months when she caught him killing and stealing. SL asks about her
father; which OU narrows down to 4 candidates:

Rong Yun YHs sworn brother; but SLs ruled him out already
Lord (Cheng Zhu) of Purgatory City; waited 7 days and 7 nights in the snow for
YH after she stood him up to meet a secret mystery man
Gui Ci Member - a black-cloaked man who YH stood CZ up for when he changed
the mountain landscape into a sky reservoir. Part of Gu C ( Crafty Thorn),
an assassination organization which once exterminated Bei Mos Royal family
(one before the Xuan Yuan family) overnight, turning it from the strongest
country to the weakest.
Unknown Man Someone OU has never seen or heard about and may not exist,
but YH always carried a mans white jade finger guard ( Bi Y Bn Zhi*)
that she valued more than her life

OU concludes that aside from YH, only RY might know, but hell make sure SL is
comfortable here since YH saved him from Gui Ci. SL is overwhelmed by YHs murky
relations.
*Examples of Ban Zhi:

947 SL asks OU for the SDS, but OU tells her that this is the only thing he cant give
her since its his ancestors legacy. The SDS is only given to legitimate (Di) male heirs
and is with YQ, the only one born from the Empress. OU hints SL can get it by marrying
YQ, telling her not to reject him since his looks, character and talent are good. SL
retorts, telling him YQ will betray him.
948 OU offers to wager over this but SL refuses. OY tries asking SL about her
conversation with OU but fails to get anything. Night time, SL sneaks out to YQs
courtyard, Yn Hu Din ( Cloud Flower Palace), noting that every hall in the
Imperial Palace contains YHs Hua ( Flower) character.
949 SL heads towards the centre where YQs room is. YQs room is empty but the
floorboards near his bed contain a hidden compartment. SL takes out a rosewood box
containing the SDS. Theres a wire attached which would trigger a hidden weapons
trap.
950-951 SL places the box into her space, knowing thered be other traps within it,
and turns to see YQ. He grabs her hand, refusing to let go and hints theres a reason
for his past actions. SL doesnt believe him. Sensing this may be his last chance, YQ
hugs SL close and starts kissing her despite her protests. Despite their past relations,
SL feels uncomfortable being kissed by him, and also feels that shes betraying NL. SL
stops resisting to catch YQ off-guard, before aiming a Dimensional Imprint at his head

and a dagger to his heart, looking at him with hate, but cant bring herself to kill him.
She tells him to forget the past, and leaves before OU discovers the theft.

Chapter 952-963 Gathering on Cloudy Mountain

952-953 SL spies YXs men searching the palace, sneering since theyre a step late.
Jumping over the wall, she removes one of the men who saw her, before running
towards a forest. She hears fighting sounds, and the little dragon tells her its someone
familiar. Hiding in a tree, she spies YXs men fighting a weakened ZiY and her
Elemental Elf. ZiY despairs as shes attacked from all sides, when SL leaps in with her
spirit pets. SL heals ZiY, apologizing for dragging her into the battle with YX.
954 ZiY asks about SLs face, secretly wanting to see NLs reaction when he finds out.
SL tells her shes recovered her real one, from the one RY altered. SL thinks that since
YX isnt her mothers opponent, the enemy shes hiding SL from isnt her. SL heals
ZiYs injuries, giving her extra FRP since shes now an Advanced Apothecarist and can
refine her own.
955 ZiY notices that SL is 6th ranked and is shocked since SL is 17, and theyve only
been separated a few days. They recount their experiences SLs time with YX, and
ZiYs encounter with 50 of YXs grunts the last of which were killed by SL. SL hands
her a new dress and ZiY remarks on the convenience of space storage items. SL
promises to give her one (when she can make them) but ZiY is already grateful for the
elf.
956-957 SL takes out the rosewood box containing the SDS. It has a combination
(briefcase) lock, with 6 slots, 10 digits (0-9) and millions of possibilities. ZiY fails to
break it with her energy, so SL tries to crack it manually. YQs birthday doesnt work,
so ZiY suggests using his loved ones. The box opens when SL enters her own, causing
her to tremble in anger.
958-959 ZiY wants to know how SL guessed, but she avoids answering. Theyre
disappointed to find that the box is empty. Recognizing YQs thoughts, SL discovers
the SDS under a false bottom, only to find that the manual is blank. ZiY tells her it
requires a concoction to read, made from White Congealing Grass ( Nng Bi
Co) and Celestial Flower Seed ( Z Xin Hu), which grow on the peak of Cloudy
Mountain. SL warns ZiY the elfs use is limited.
960 ZiY takes SL to the Cloudy Mountains as thanks for the elf. Admiring the view, they
run into YQ. Realizing who he is, ZiY tells him not to be so stingy. YQ replies that he
wont towards Luo Luo and ZiY thinks fearfully of NLs reaction should he know a 3 rd
wheel is attempting to steal his wife.
961 ZiY secretly admires YQs audacity, not knowing that he doesnt know about NL.
YQ has SL dismiss ZiY to talk in private. Since she was sent to spy, ZiY panics, sending
a paper crane to warn NL his relationship is in danger. YQ reprimands SL that
impatience is what causes people to lose in negotiations.
962 SL agrees that their conversation is like a negotiation business. SL states she
cant forget being stabbed by the person she loved and YQ is shocked she had felt so
strongly for him, but bitter since she still blames him. When SL tries downplaying the
past, YQ tells her he never betrayed her, but at the time, it wasnt just the two of them
at the scene. SL senses something and tries to run away with ZiY.
963 YXs men arrive, greeting YQ as Young Master ( Sho Zh). SLs face turns
dark, and thinks its another one of his traps. YQ cant explain himself and tries to get
SL to leave. However, the men attack since they only obey YX.

Chapters 963-973 A Certain Male Leads Return

964-965 YQ tells SL that hell keep her safe if she leaves with him. SL is disgusted and
would rather die, so YQ signals for the men to go ahead. SL, ZiY and the dragon fight
as 13 of the men (5 5th ranked, 5 6th ranked, 3 7th ranked) charge towards them. The
dragon jabs them in the heart, later switching to head, while SL uses the LRB plant to
hold the 7th ranked men before taking one out using her space magic. However, SL is
unable to deal with the remaining men, while their fight causes rubble to shift, hitting
SL and causing her to fall towards the edge of the cliff.
966-968 SL barely avoids falling off the cliff, when the men in black charge towards
her with swords. As ZiY panics and YQ hesitates to rescue her, NL appears, having ran
over due to ZiYs message (chapter 961). NL angrily asks who dares harm his
treasured person, but is indifferent to YXs name and beheads the 8 th ranked leader
before slicing a 7th ranked like an onion.
968 NL causes the remaining 7th ranked to explode, and SL notes NLs increase in
strength and that its more of a one-sided slaughter than a battle. One of the men
begs YQ to intervene, exposing him from his hiding place. YQ tells NL to stop,
introducing himself. YQ and NL are often compared, as genius clouds in the east and
west, however NL instinctively dislikes him even more so when ZiY tells him YQ is the
3rd wheel. All the men in black fall dead.
969 YQ is angry, but doesnt act since hes weaker than NL. However, he notices SL
joyfully looking at NL the same way she used to look at him, and realizes she did have
someone (chapter 942). NL sends a wind blade towards YQ, who retaliates with a
golden fist attack. As YQ falls, NL tells him his death is sealed for chasing after SL, but
YQ retorts that he had met her first.
970 NL doesnt believe him and charges towards YQ with a sword, only for him to
dodge last minute. YQ then addresses NL, having figured out his identity, secretly
praising SL for finding someone on par with him. He mocks NLs attack and charges
towards SL, only to disappear. ZiY is shocked YQ has the long-lost Invisibility Element
( Yn Shn Sh Hidden Body).
971 However NL knows Primary level invisibility only works for 10 seconds. Sensing YQ
sneaking towards him, he uses his spiritual energy as a full body armour, blocking YQs
attacks. The impact causes some damage to SL and ZiY standing near him, but NL
himself is undamaged and mocks YQ for being weak, telling him to choose how he
wants to die. YQ tells NL that if hes killed, SL would never forgive him.
972-973 SL is incredulous, considering YQ had once killed her. NL had avoided looking
at SL due to ZiYs message and is shocked that shes become so beautiful. SL asks if
he likes the changes, and NL reassures her that hell love her regardless since what he
liked wasnt her face and that she was beautiful before as well. ZiY is shocked at NLs
mushiness, while YQ looks on at the perfect couple. NL asks SL if the surgery hurt and
why shed go to such lengths, when SL retorts that her current face is her real one. NL
then examines her face, almost drooling, before pulling her into a hug, having been
reunited after 2 years. YQ interrupts, telling him hes known SL longer, and NL
retaliates with a punch in the face.

Chapters 974982 Rematch with Yan Xia

974 YQ mocks SL for replacing her old love with a new one, asking if hes in her heart
and acting like she abandoned him. SL looks at him with contempt for so shameless.
NL listens on, and confirms they have a shared past. Hes determined to kill YQ,
attacking his neck, only for YQ to bring up their unborn child, causing SL to cry. He
looks at SL expectantly, while NL is shocked and feels like an outsider as they stare at
each other.
975 SL looks at NL wanting to explain but not knowing where to start since it was a
past life. Seeing her reluctance, NL grabs SLs wrist, almost crushing it, before angrily
carrying her down the mountain. ZiY insults YQ, before returning to Purgatory City,
leaving only a lonely YQ swearing that SL will be his.
976-977 NL carries SL through the forest, asking her if she couldnt even wait 2 years
before carrying on an affair. SL tries to explain, but infuriates him even more since she
calls YQ by his given name and NL by his full name. SL states shes never done
anything to be ashamed of and that NLs grip is hurting her. NL asks when they met,
since hes already researched her past but there was no mention of YQ or a pregnancy.
SL continues to hesitate and NL becomes disheartened over her past indifference,
current betrayal and that his love is one-sided. NL storms off, leaving SL crying in the
forest. As the sky turns dark and the rain starts falling, SL decides to tell NL everything
if he comes back, only shes not sure he will.
978 YX sneaks towards SL, removing her cloak to stare down at her. As shes about to
attack, SL tells her shes sent a letter to RY saying if shes dead, the murderer would
be YX. YX tells her being hated is fine, while asking SL if shes delaying her in case her
lover returns.
979 YX forms a ball of light, putting most of her strength in it. SL uses her space
armour before turning and running. However, YX aims her attack towards SLs back,
causing her to fly 1km through the trees, leaving her dizzy, numb and coughing up
blood. SL then mocks YX for being inferior to YH, telling her to find YH if she has the
talent.
980 YX forms a handprint, sending it towards SL with the force of mountains. In pain,
SL thinks of NL turning his back on her, when the little dragon flies towards YX like a
bullet. Having been focused on SL, YX allowed the dragon to catch her off guard and
bite off her thumb. However, YX is still stronger and grabs the dragon by its neck,
telling it to spit her thumb out since she was wearing her treasured Jasper Finger
Guard (what YH has chapter 946), only to have her wrist scratched. YX knocks out
the dragon, but since she fears the consequences of killing it, can only search its
mouth for her Finger Guard.
981 Just as YX is about to stab the dragon, NL arrives. NL had walked off, hoping SL
would chase after him and explain. Disappointed again, he went to a place 100km
away to vent his heartbreak on the trees and ground, only to hear YXs attack. Hearing
the second attack, he recalls ZiY recounting their experience with YX and hurries
towards the scene. NL arrives as YX finds her Finger Guard in the pocket of a small
jumper SL had sewn for the dragon.
982 SLs space armour had absorbed most of the impact from YXs first attack, but
was left barely alive from the second. YX towers over SL, watching her life drain and
pulls out a dagger to damage her face before she dies. NL tells her to stop as the
dagger is barely an inch away from SLs face. YX senses her opponent is weaker and
decides to have him watch on as she continues.

Chapters 983-992 Nangong Liuyun v Yan Xia

983 At the critical moment, SLs LRB plant wraps itself around YXs dagger, having
saved the last of its strength. YX is shocked its a rare, mutated plant, and coupled
with her other advantages, is even more determined to kill SL since shell become a
great threat in the future. As YX shakes off the plant, NL pulls out a Saint ranked (
Shng Ji) Spirit Bomb even higher than 10 th ranked.
984-985 NL tells YX to let SL go, threatening to use the Spirit Bomb. YX warns him that
if he uses it, all of them will die, but NL doesnt mind dying with SL. YX throws SLs
body towards NL, only to strike them together when he catches her. NL dodges her
attack, feeding SL a Life Restoring Pill ( X Mng Dn Yo) and placing her in a
tree, before defending against YX. NL meets her sword attacks but is damaged by her
fists, while YX mocks him over the limitations of their generation gap and for being 9 th
ranked.
986 NL hints he may be advancing, but YX still doesnt see him as a threat and
attempts to strangle him with a green vine. NL burns it, only for YX to send fireballs
towards him, and NL notices YXs men sneaking towards SL. NL was on the verge of
breaking through to 10th ranked when ZiYs letter arrived, so he delayed advancing
and rushed over. Due to his abnormal physique, promoting can be terrifying and
causes abnormal phenomenon, so NL holds SL to shield her as the sky darkens and
bursts of lightning appear on the sky. YX is shocked due to the dangerous situation,
that NL has the thunder element, and that so many lightning bolts appeared,
indicating his strength.
987 The men sneaking towards SL are killed by the lightning, while SL is protected by
the Lightning Bead ( Li Zh) NL placed on her. The bead is something that only
the Lord of Purgatory City has. CZ is NLs master and hoped itd save him when
needed. YX panics, while dodging the lightning and rain, which continue painting the
sky like fireworks, and tearing the trees and magical beasts in the forest. NL absorbs
the lightning but coughs up blood since he gave the bead to SL.
988 The lightning is split equally between YX and NL, when NL finishes promoting. YX
is jealous over NLs talent and that he achieved 10 th ranked so early. YX sends her
vines towards a cultivating NL, which has leaves as sharp as daggers. A purple light
emerges from NL, sending the vine back towards YX, striking her arm, while a huge
ball of lightning forms.
989 The lightning ball chases YX, who notices SL is still alive. YX assumes SL has some
sort of lightning guard and leads the attack towards her. However the lightning bead
isnt invincible so NL kicks YX, sending her over a cliff, still followed by the lightning
ball. NL runs with SL as the ball explodes.
990-991 NL is injured from using his remaining energy to protect SL, as well as the
fight, though his life isnt in danger. He approaches SL, panicking over her state while
apologizing and trying to wake her. SLs body turns cold and remains unconscious, so
NL injects his own spiritual energy in her for 3 days and 3 nights, ignoring his own
injuries. This causes her to gasp, and her state improves, though she doesnt wake up.
NL recovers and moves SL off the cliff, running into the little dragon.
992 The little dragon approaches SL and tries to wake her. NL pulls out a blanket from
his space ring one of the two placed on auction and notices SL has grown colder in
the 15 minutes he used to recover his energy, showing shes now fully dependent on
him. The little dragon hands NL herbs (chapter 959), as well as the SDS manual, and
NL wonders if SL got close to YQ to get her hands on it.

Chapters 993-1003 Yan Xias Demise

993-994 Under the dragons directions, NL applies the herbs to the book to reveal the
text, and starts reciting, causing SL to twitch in response. SL in her unconscious state,
hears NL reciting the SDS but is too weak to move or react so she enters her space
and practices. However SL cant survive without NLs energy and hasnt woken in 10
days so they head to RYs mountain. Meanwhile YX is still alive, saved from one of the
many treasures hidden on her her trump card, Concealing Net ( Png B Wng),
which can block strong attacks but only partially diverted this one.
995-996 An injured YX is found by YQ with less than 1% of her cultivation remaining.
YX is YQs master a relationship even OU doesnt know and had helped him level
up so quickly. Despite YQs nursing, YX realizes shes near the end of her life and
wants to use YQ to settle her grudge. Under YXs questioning, he admits he wants SL,
and also wants NL dead, but isnt NLs match. YX tells him that for a heavy price he
can surpass NL by training towards the Demonic Path ( R M Do) as his lack
of strength is why NL can trample over him and SL abandoned him. Given NL had
beaten YX to this state, he agrees, vowing that if he cant kill NL or cant marry SL in
this life, he wont be considered human. YX knows that YQ cant kill SL but being
forced to marry a man she doesnt love would be worse than death. She gives YQ the
Demonic Path Manual ( M Do Din Fng).
997-998 NL carries SL towards Misty Cloud Peak and frightens ZR with his tyrannical
aura. NL ignores him and carries SL to her quarters, asking for RY, who has yet to
return. NL has ZR examine SL, but only RY can cure her. NL pulls down RYs cultivation
room, the Absolute Peak Pagoda ( Ju Fng T) to summon him back.
999-1000 NL continues monitoring SL and ZR gives NL a cup of CSW to feed her. RY
returns, suspecting YXs arrival, when ZR tells him about SLs injuries and face. RY
rushes towards SL and is shocked since her face looks exactly like YHs. RY examines
SL, and is infuriated over her injuries, before disappearing in a puff of smoke after YX.
ZR is in fear over RY and NLs anger. SL continues practicing in her space, while RY
finds YX now looking like an 80-year-old only for YX to be delighted shes finally
angered RY.
1001-1002 RY confronts YX over her hatred for YH, but slaps her due to her insults. He
asks if shes told anyone about SLs face, and she taunts him with SLs impending
death, revealing that shes given YQ the Demonic Path Manual, causing RY to feel
unsettled. YX dies before RY can continue interrogating her. RY laments SLs face being
revealed since her challenges will be harsher, the re-emergence of the Demonic Path
which once shook the continent, that NL might not be able to protect SL, and the fact
that the cause YX has died. RY eradicates 108 of YXs bases, containing 10,000 of
her underlings. The 10 large forces are in shock, and LYC pulls back the forces looking
for SL, while LYY has returned to the Jade Lake.
1003-1004 RY examines SL, telling NL shell die within 12 months unless hes willing to
risk his life to give her the Red-Black Blood Ginseng ( Ch Xi Xun Shn),
which can even regrow flesh and bones on the dead, and owned by one of the 10
powerful forces, the M Xin Temple ( Wooden Celestial). The temple has 9
barriers ( J Gun), each filled with infinite treasures corresponding to their rank
the last barrier contains the RBBG. SL has to come along, but NL doesnt want to risk
it, since a pair of men and women are needed to break into the temple, while the user
of the RBBG has to retrieve the item themselves for it to work. SL stirs, and RY gives
her a Master ranked pill, telling NL that if he brings her at least she has a change of
surviving, otherwise there is only death.

Chapters 1005-1013 Confessions

1005 NL reprimands RY for only watching on, but RY tells him theres no other way. To
access the Mu Xian Temple, 4 keys are needed, held by 4 clans: Purgatory City, the
Beichen Family, Jade Lake and the Luo Yu Family. RY leaves Misty Cloud Peak for 3 days
to refine medicine and negotiate over use of the keys. SL wakes to find herself in RYs
refining room and is soothed by NL. RY looks at NL with regard.
1006 RY has SL soak in a medicinal cauldron filled with rare herbs for 7 days,
lamenting its only missing the Seven Step Constrained Laughter Flower ( Q
B Hn Xio Hu). SL reveals one from her space taken from YXs medicinal cabinet
and RY tells her to eat a petal every hour to fully absorb the effects of the medicine.
NL cultivates next to the cauldron, while RY leaves.
1007 After 7 days, RY returns and finds SLs condition has improved. SL had been
practicing the SDS and her spirit is stronger, even though her physical body hasnt
recovered. Insisting on walking by herself, she falls, hugging NLs waist. NL places her
on a bed, before staring at her and apologizing.
1008 Hearing NLs heartfelt apology, SL admits she shouldnt have hesitated, while
reassuring NL its over since YX has died. NL laments not personally killing her, noting
that YQ hasnt died yet. However, YQ is practicing the Demonic Path and even RY cant
locate him. SL asks if he believes her, which he does. So she finally decides to come
clean about her past.
1009 SL asks if NL believes in reincarnation and tells him she met YQ in a world with
advanced technology. SL reveals that they were together, about the child, as well as
the fact that he killed her for his ambitions. NL listens on in jealousy and SL silently
waits for his response. After some time, NL reaches out to hug SL, telling her he
believes her.
1010 SL brightens at his response, and NL kisses her. NL then tells SL he loves her and
that the person beside him can only be her. NL blushes since its his first love
declaration, telling her that she had broken through his solitary life and became all his
firsts. He laments his lack of experience with love and is uncertain how to approach it,
but asks if she wants to be with him. SL is shocked at NLs confession and that hes
nervously waiting for a response.
1011 SL asks if he minds her past, but NL only cares about this life. SL tells NL that if
he doesnt back out now, their life and death would be intertwined. NL is delighted,
almost crushing SL in excitement, before asking her to repeat it since it was too windy
to hear. NL runs out holding SL, forgetting to open the door in the excitement, and the
building to collapses, leaving ZR in shock.
1012 In NLs arms, SL laughs at the mess hes created until her stomach hurts, leaving
NL embarrassed. ZR questions SL over the state of the house, mentioning even a 9 th
ranked attack wouldnt damage it. SL continues laughing, causing NLs face to darken.
SL calls NL adorable, stating that hes now hers and not to bring any 3 rd or 4th party
into their relationship. NL agrees.
1013 NL vows that hell only have SL, and that LYY will also be sorted out, before
asking what other conditions she has. SL decides that shell state her mind, and figure
the rest out along the way. NL proposes they marry after returning from Mu Xian
Temple. SL thinks its a little fast, but since its all NL wants, and that theyll be
together regardless, agrees. The 7th and 9th barriers are also notoriously difficult. SL
sleeps in NLs arms with him reassuring her. The next morning, RY presents them with
100 master level Life Restoring Pills ( Shng J Dn)
