Jinxiu told Hongning to come down, and Hongning was afraid Jinxiu would make her leave. Jinxiu assured her he would not drive her away. Hongning came down and, seeing that there was no sash on Jinxiu's clothing, thought he was not a celestial immortal. She even suspected that Jinxiu had sneaked in to steal wine. Jinxiu told her not to talk nonsense. When other immortals approached, Hongning, afraid of being discovered, put the flower bell down.

Envoy Xingxing, unaware that Jinxiu was there, confided in Zitong, admitting that she had deliberately imprisoned Lüluo in the Hundred Flowers Diagram. Jinxiu assigned the task of brewing wine to Envoy Xingxing, but she had handed it off to lesser immortals instead of doing it herself. After Envoy Xingxing and the others left, Hongning didn’t know how to get out. Jinxiu used magic to put the flower bell back in place.

Hongning took a sip of the wine there but found it unpleasant. She added mint to it and found it much tastier. Jinxiu pointed out that Hongning had already broken three rules. Hongning said she could not leave; after all the hardship she had gone through to ascend to the heavens, and since the Floral Deity had once saved her, she wanted to repay the kindness.

Jinxiu turned Hongning back into her true form and placed her on the table, where an unsuspecting immortal accidentally soaked her in tea. Officer Chrysanthemum came to find Jinxiu. Hongning emerged and asked Jinxiu why he had soaked her. Officer Chrysanthemum wanted to record the incident, but Jinxiu told him not to write nonsense. Jinxiu summoned Envoy Xingxing and questioned her about the earth grass. Envoy Xingxing admitted her guilt. Jinxiu asked whether she could properly handle the wine brewing.

If she couldn't, he would assign it to someone else. Envoy Xingxing hurriedly promised she could do it. Officer Chrysanthemum asked Jinxiu why, since Hongning had committed mistakes, he did not send her back to the mortal realm. Jinxiu explained that Hongning had an immortal fate. If she cultivated well, she would surely achieve great success. However, for now, she only had the fate of a scattered immortal. After the Blossom Festival ended, it would depend on Hongning’s own fortune.

Jinxiu instructed Officer Chrysanthemum to watch over Hongning during this period, teach her proper etiquette, and take her to undergo the lightning tribulation. Shaoyao brought Hongning along. Envoy Xingxing said that the Blossom Palace rules were like iron, and for hundreds of years, no one had broken them, yet since Hongning arrived, there had been constant trouble. She criticized Shaoyao for being unable to manage even a little demon and insisted that Shaoyao should be punished together with Hongning.

Hongning insisted it had nothing to do with Shaoyao and that if there was to be punishment, it should be hers alone. Envoy Xingxing pulled out a whip, declaring that she was in charge here. Officer Chrysanthemum arrived, saying Envoy Xingxing had already administered punishment and should now hand Hongning over to him. Envoy Xingxing had no choice but to agree.

Officer Chrysanthemum was to take Hongning for the lightning tribulation and told her she could use shapeshifting techniques to avoid it, but Hongning didn’t know how. Hongning prepared her own herbal medicine and asked Shaoyao to help apply it. Unexpectedly, before Shaoyao could even apply it, Hongning’s wounds healed on their own. Shaoyao was astonished, and Hongning herself didn’t know how it happened. When Envoy Xingxing learned that Jinxiu had only punished Hongning with cleaning duties, she was furious.

Zitong suggested that if they let Hongning offend the Deity, it would be enough, and Envoy Xingxing was pleased and sent Zitong to act. Zitong led Hongning to clean, but in fact, this was where Jinxiu lived. Knowing that Jinxiu disliked others entering, Zitong did it on purpose. Jinxiu happened to be bathing there. Hongning, seeing the mist, didn’t realize anyone was inside and entered the pool. Jinxiu, startled, revealed his true form in panic.

Hongning saw a golden peony and was amazed. Seeing the many scars on his body, not knowing what he had been through, she hugged him tightly. Officer Chrysanthemum witnessed this scene and was extremely shocked, quickly urging Hongning to let go. Jinxiu submitted a petition to the Celestial Monarch, pleading that many innocent people in the mortal world were suffering and hoping the Celestial Monarch would lift the punishment soon.

The Celestial Monarch thought that as a divine enforcer, Jinxiu was too merciful. The Divine Queen believed that Jinxiu’s persistent petitions each year showed his firm resolve. The Celestial Monarch agreed to lift the punishment. The Celestial Monarch noted that the Divine Queen was lenient with Jinxiu but strict with Kunlun. The Divine Queen explained that Jinxiu was reserved and sensible, whereas Kunlun was reckless and willful.

It was because Jinxiu had confined Kunlun in the Water Moon Mirror that it was considered true leniency. The Celestial Monarch was pleased that the Divine Queen thought this way. Grandmaster Taiyi came to see the Celestial Monarch and reported that the two stars, which had always shone with equal brightness, now had a cloud of mist appearing between them.

The Celestial Monarch feared a great calamity was approaching but believed that as long as Jinxiu continued to sever emotions and desires, he should be able to overcome the disaster.
