On leisurely days, Shen Li would take Xing Zhi around the Spirit Realm for a stroll. The Immortal Realm wasn’t nearly as lively, and Xing Zhi was soon drawn to the variety of street food at the market. When he heard someone selling “candied lotus seeds,” Shen Li was reminded of how General Zixia had once promised his young daughter that when he returned victorious, he would buy her plenty of candied lotus seeds.

Now that General Zixia had died in battle, Shen Li bought some and delivered them to his daughter. As Shen Li and Xing Zhi wandered through the market, Fu Rong Jun wandered off on his own. Hearing the people of the Spirit Realm speak of Xing Zhi with boundless admiration made him restless, and he schemed to shift their opinion in his favor.

To show off his “privilege,” Fu Rong began selling tickets—those who bought one could visit the Prince’s residence. Mo Fang heard about Fu Rong’s stunt and immediately took away his chair as a warning, telling him not to get carried away. When Shen Li returned to the residence and saw one of her maids stuffed into a sack by Fu Rong—along with hearing about his ticket-selling antics—she was both annoyed and amused.

Afraid that Shen Li would punish him, Fu Rong immediately flew up to the roof. Shen Li, remembering that he was her future husband, tried her best to save his dignity and didn’t scold him harshly. However, Xing Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore and gave Fu Rong two hits with a broom. Hearing Fu Rong cry out in pain, Shen Li scolded Xing Zhi for meddling in her household affairs.

Seeing Shen Li protect Fu Rong like that left Xing Zhi speechless. Recently, due to supporting both Fu Rong and Xing Zhi, the Prince’s residence had been facing financial strain. After hearing a report from her maid, Shen Li instructed her to ask Xing Zhi and Fu Rong for some silver. Fu Rong, always cunning, took advantage of the moment when he was handing spirit stones to the maid Rou Ya to secretly steal the key to Shen Li’s armory.

It was his first time entering the Prince’s armory, and inside was an overwhelming collection of cold weapons. Fu Rong was dazzled by the sight. He simply opened his Qiankun Bag and swept all the weapons into it, claiming them as his own. When Shen Li discovered that all her weapons were gone, she furiously confronted Fu Rong. Fu Rong immediately tried to use it as leverage, demanding that Shen Li cancel their engagement.

But Shen Li flatly refused, stating that breaking off the engagement would only be valid with her consent. With that, she turned and left. Watching Shen Li’s angry figure disappear, Fu Rong was filled with disappointment. Even after causing so much trouble, he still couldn’t get her to back down. Xing Zhi demanded that Fu Rong return the key—after all, he was a famed divine lord of the Immortal Realm. Naturally, Fu Rong obediently handed it over.

From within the Qiankun Bag, Fu Rong discovered the weapons Shen Li had collected, including a Heaven-Earth Golden Lock Box. The box was locked with multiple nested compartments. After opening six or seven layers, Fu Rong finally found the treasured item inside—a hairpin he had given Shen Li while in the mortal world. So Shen Li had been keeping it all along. Xing Zhi was secretly delighted.

After losing her weapons, Shen Li called Mo Fang to drink and drown her sorrows. The two had risked their lives together on the battlefield many times. After a night of drinking, Mo Fang carried Shen Li back home, only to be seen by Xing Zhi. Xing Zhi felt uncomfortable and reminded Mo Fang to be mindful of his behavior.

Mo Fang understood what was going through Xing Zhi’s mind and subtly hinted that he and Shen Li had long forged a bond through life-and-death battles. When Shen Li woke up, she found that her missing weapons had been returned, and she was overjoyed. She immediately guessed it must have been Xing Zhi’s doing. Hearing that Xing Zhi had gone out to eat and stroll, she finished breakfast and headed out.

Rou Ya delivered a message from Xing Zhi saying that if Shen Li wanted to call off the engagement, she could speak to him directly. But Shen Li instructed Rou Ya to avoid troubling Xing Zhi in the future. Fu Rong started causing trouble in the Spirit Realm again, freeloading and taking things without paying in the bustling market, deliberately acting unlikeable. Following Shen Li’s orders, Mo Fang settled all of Fu Rong’s outstanding debts.
