Fu Ling confirmed the existence of the mark but chose not to reveal it. Seeing Bai Shuo’s short dagger, she showed mercy and refrained from delivering a fatal blow. After returning to the Unbridled Pavilion, Bai Shuo threw herself into swordsmanship training, believing that she bore some responsibility for Mu Jiu’s death. She wanted to become stronger to protect those around her.

Tian Huo comforted her, saying that Mu Jiu’s sacrifice was for everyone, without expecting anything in return and with no resentment. Chang Mei placed three small fox figurines under the Withering Tree, representing A Qi, Xiao Ba, and Mu Jiu. Reflecting on past events, Chang Mei realized many truths. Ling Long had once advised her never to return to the Fox Clan and to live freely as A Wu.

However, Chang Mei understood that true freedom was not just in one’s body but in one’s heart. After letting go of the grudges of a thousand years, she willingly chose to stay with the Fox Clan, tending to the Withering Tree and remaining with the ones she cared about. When Tian Huo shared this with Bai Shuo, she encouraged Bai Shuo and Fan Yue to start anew. Bai Shuo gradually let go of her burdens.

Meanwhile, Cang Shan tried to cheer up Tian Huo, saying he was fulfilling Mu Jiu’s final wish. Touched by his words, Tian Huo tearfully told Cang Shan she would slowly come to terms with Mu Jiu’s departure. Fan Yue finally took Bai Shuo to the secret chamber in Bright Moon Palace and shared the story of his tragic past. As a child, Fan Yue went herb-picking on a mountain and lost his memory.

Upon awakening, he learned that he was the grandson of Gu Shang, the patriarch of the Bai Ze Clan, and had a younger brother named Qi Feng. Fan Yue had happily integrated into the Bai Ze Clan, living a simple and joyful life, until the Tiger Clan invaded. They trapped the Bai Ze Clan, demanding they hand over a child with purple eyes.

To protect the clan, Gu Shang had no choice but to surrender Qi Feng, the child with purple eyes. However, even after obtaining the child, the Tiger Clan mercilessly slaughtered the Bai Ze people. Gu Shang cast a spell to save Fan Yue, transferring all his spiritual energy to him in his final moments and instructing him to survive at all costs. Driven by vengeance, Fan Yue trained relentlessly in demonic arts, leaving him with the Seven-Star Burning Soul Mark.

Yet, when he sought revenge, he found the Tiger Clan already destroyed, and Qi Feng’s whereabouts unknown. Fan Yue showed Bai Shuo the nameplates of his grandfather, Gu Shang, and his brother, Qi Feng. Bai Shuo promised to stay by his side forever, and the two confirmed their love for each other. At Lengquan Palace, Zhen Yu was furious over Fu Ling’s repeated failures. When Zhong Zhao spoke up for Fu Ling, Chen Ye accused him of being the mole.

After Zhen Yu dismissed Zhong Zhao and Chen Ye, he forced Fu Ling to take a Heart-Eating Pill to ensure her loyalty. The poison required regular antidotes, or it would be fatal. Without hesitation, Fu Ling obeyed. Fan Yue personally cooked exquisite desserts for Bai Shuo, bringing her great joy. However, Bai Shuo couldn’t help but recall her sister, Bai Xi.

Although Bai Xi could now summon the Alien King Sword effortlessly, Bai Shuo still carried the birthday gift—a short dagger—that Bai Xi had given her. Seeing this, Fan Yue comforted her gently. Soon, Bai Shuo discovered she had developed her own spiritual power. Fan Yue began teaching her a finishing move to maximize the Alien King Sword’s power. He explained that if she faced a stronger opponent, she could use it for a quick, unexpected strike.

Grateful, Bai Shuo kissed Fan Yue. Not wanting to let the moment end, Fan Yue pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. In the cold underground palace of Lengquan, Fu Ling endured torment and suffering. Unable to bear it, Xi Xi pleaded with Zhong Zhao to save her, recounting all of Fu Ling’s sacrifices. Zhong Zhao feigned indifference and refused to intervene.

Meanwhile, Chen Ye successfully refined the evil parasite and volunteered to retrieve the Desireless Stone for Zhen Yu. Fan Yue sought out Tian Huo and entrusted her with a task: to find Bai Xi’s whereabouts for Bai Shuo. After Tian Huo left, Fan Yue accompanied Bai Shuo in the alchemy hall. At that moment, Lao Gui visited the Unbridled Pavilion to check on his disciple and diagnosed Bai Shuo’s condition.

He confirmed that the Weak Water Stone’s energy had healed her but noted that she had lost the automatic protection of the Desireless Stone. This worried Fan Yue, but Bai Shuo reassured him that she could handle it.
