On the night of the full moon, Tian Yao would experience unbearable pain. Yan Hui had a protective scale that could alleviate his pain, so Tian Yao hugged her tightly with red eyes, begging her not to leave him. In the end, he bit Yan Hui's lips and sucked her blood to finally calm down. The next day, Yan Hui, thinking about Tian Yao's strange behavior, finally began to believe that he was a spirit dragon. She asked him to break the snake demon's formation with an ancient array, but Tian Yao insisted that Yan Hui accompany him to the mountain cave. Knowing that Old Lady Xiao had lost her chicken yesterday and then her grandson and daughter-in-law, Yan Hui was sure that she would be very worried. Seeing that Tian Yao did not want to go back to see Old Lady Xiao but wanted to go to the mountain cave, Yan Hui believed that his previous filial piety towards Old Lady Xiao was fake and insisted on not going with him.

The snake demon was waiting for Tian Yao to repair the Flowing Fire Bead and save his beloved, Yun, from danger. Knowing that Yan Hui was greedy for money, he directly bribed her with a bag of silver, making her willing to accompany them to the cave. The three of them rode a bamboo raft and arrived at the cave entrance. The snake demon used his spiritual power to reluctantly tear open a small hole, and Tian Yao immediately led Yan Hui into the cave. As soon as they entered the cave, Yan Hui felt an unbearable pain in her heart. Tian Yao finally saw the formation sealing the dragon bone, and he knew that it had to be broken with one's own blood. So, as he was telling Yan Hui about the scene where Su Ying had wounded him, he pierced Yan Hui's heart with his sword, intending to break the formation with her blood. Yan Hui was furious and thought Tian Yao was too cruel. She raised a stone and intended to knock him out, but accidentally hit the sword in the formation. Tian Yao had to stab Yan Hui's heart again to break the formation.

After the formation was broken, Yan Hui and Tian Yao fell into a deep pool. Yan Hui stabbed herself in the heart twice in anger and pushed Tian Yao down while she floated up to the surface. Tian Yao saw his own dragon bone in the depths of the pool and quickly reconnected with it. The dragon bone returned to Tian Yao's body while he fell unconscious. The snake demon sensed the dragon master's breath from Tian Yao's body and immediately rescued him, planning to carry him back. Yan Hui happened to encounter them and wanted to kill Tian Yao, but the snake demon refused. He was still waiting for Tian Yao to repair the Flowing Fire Bead to save A Yun. Yan Hui had to give up, but she had already decided to chop Tian Yao into pieces to vent her anger after he repaired the Flowing Fire Bead.

Su Ying, a female member of the Guang Han Men, learned about Tian Yao's retrieval of the dragon bones and was extremely angry. She ordered her subordinates to guard the other three seals. Ling Fei had already captured the Nine-Tailed Fox, and she was accompanied by the demon-slaying general Lu Musheng. Su Ying immediately ordered someone to capture Lu Musheng.

Tian Yao woke up and used the power of his dragon soul to repair the flowing fire bead. He advised the snake demon to repay her debt and not develop feelings for him. He also reminded her to take the water route, which would be safer. Yan Hui was still upset that Tian Yao had taken her heart blood, but she learned that his heart scale protected her damaged heart and allowed her to live until now. Although grateful, she felt that she had repaid the favor with two swords. Yan Hui had long seen through Tian Yao's reason for not taking back his heart scale. He didn't feel much guilt, but she remembered the chicken that Old Lady Xiao was worried about and hurried up the mountain to look for it.

Old Lady Xiao finally caught many chickens and gathered many eggs from Yan Hui and Tian Yao. That evening, the family had a delicious meal together. Old Lady Xiao put Yan Hui and Tian Yao's hands together and instructed them to treat each other well and not to argue. That night, Old Lady Xiao passed away. A heartbroken Tian Yao buried Old Lady Xiao, and he and Yan Hui drank together, talking about how he was injured by Su Ying. Yan Hui was shocked by Tian Yao's tragic past and immediately felt sympathy for him. She promised to help Tian Yao regain his body.

Lu Musheng is Su Ying's beloved, but for the past twenty years, he has been married to a nine-tailed fox in the guise of a scholar and has long forgotten Su Ying. So when he wakes up, he is determined to take his wife home with him, which breaks Su Ying's heart. Despite Lu Musheng's pleas, she insists on not letting them go.

When Yan Hui woke up from her drunken stupor, she found that Tian Yao was still sleeping. So she sneaked away and planned to go to Yongzhou to find Xian Ge. However, she was currently unable to even control small branches, so she didn't know when she would be able to reach Yongzhou. While Yan Hui was feeling down, Tian Yao appeared and reminded her of her promise from yesterday. However, Yan Hui realized that finding all the parts of the dragon's body was too dangerous and didn't want to go. Tian Yao warned Yan Hui that if Su Ying took away the protective scales on her body, she wouldn't survive for more than three days. However, Yan Hui was convinced that Tian Yao wouldn't betray her and decided to leave, which made Tian Yao very worried that she would run into members of the Guang Han Men.
