Using the excuse of helping Shen Li retrieve her weapons, Xing Zhi asked her to accompany him for a stroll around the marketplace, sipping tea and tasting local delicacies. Meanwhile, Fu Rong Jun, unwilling to be left out, wandered into the Spirit Realm's pleasure district. The courtesan there was exceptionally graceful and seductive. First, she danced provocatively in front of a crowd, then acted as a wine peddler.

To taste the finest cuisine, Fu Rong Jun didn’t hesitate to spend a fortune getting drunk. At dawn, Rou Ya hurried to inform Shen Li that Fu Rong Jun hadn’t returned all night. Shen Li took Mo Fang with her to search for him, only to find Fu Rong Jun clinging to the courtesan’s leg to stir up trouble. The courtesan cursed him loudly, and Shen Li was stunned by the scene.

Fu Rong Jun was becoming increasingly unruly, so Shen Li wrote a letter to the Immortal Realm truthfully reporting his behavior in the Spirit Realm. Xing Zhi questioned why Shen Li didn’t write to inform the Spirit Lord. Shen Li didn’t want to go that far—she knew how important this marriage alliance was to the Spirit Realm. Even though she disliked Fu Rong Jun, she didn’t want to disappoint the Spirit Lord again.

Hearing this, Xing Zhi felt a pang of guilt. After all, he was the one who meddled in matchmaking in the first place, and now he was reaping what he had sown. Ever since the Spirit Lord returned the Bihai Pearl to Shen Li, she had been experiencing heart palpitations for several days. That night, her whole body was burning up with fever. Rou Ya first went to look for Fu Rong Jun, but he wasn’t in his room.

With no other choice, she turned to Xing Zhi. After checking Shen Li’s pulse, Xing Zhi used his divine power to cool her down. Once Shen Li’s condition improved, Xing Zhi got up to leave. In the courtyard, he had a vague sense that Shen Li had been poisoned with a heartless gu. Last time, Fu Rong Jun clung to the courtesan’s leg and ended up getting beaten by Mo Fang.

Though Mo Fang always wore a stern face, Fu Rong Jun found him interesting. From then on, whenever he had free time, he would run to the military camp to look for Mo Fang. Seeing Fu Rong Jun causing mischief again, Shen Li thought she couldn’t keep letting him lead her by the nose—she should take the initiative. So, in front of Fu Rong Jun, she deliberately said that Mo Fang was her man! Fu Rong Jun was stunned.

A bride-to-be claiming some other man as hers—what a disgrace! He immediately went to Xing Zhi, shouting about wanting to break off the engagement. That Fu Rong Jun was even in the camp caught Shen Li by surprise. Fu Rong Jun claimed he was just passing by—after all, he had the freedom to wander. Hearing Shen Li refer to Mo Fang as “her man,” Xing Zhi couldn’t help but get jealous.

Then he saw how friendly Shen Li was with the soldiers, even putting her arms around their shoulders, and felt even more unsettled. When Shen Li announced that she would spar with the soldiers and reward wine to whoever could defeat her, Xing Zhi purposely stepped onto the stage to spar with her. Shen Li was surprised by Xing Zhi’s move, but after ten rounds, she still hadn’t won once.

Xing Zhi moved as gracefully as a swallow, each move executed with uncanny mastery. With lightning speed, he won decisively, earning the respect of all present. Xing Zhi didn’t ask for wine. Instead, he posed three questions to Shen Li. He first asked about her relationship with the soldiers she had just been so familiar with. The two soldiers didn’t know what Xing Zhi was getting at. They were already married and clearly regarded Shen Li as their lord.

Shen Li honestly answered that they were comrades-in-arms. But when Xing Zhi pointed to Mo Fang and asked about her relationship with him, Shen Li immediately realized—was Xing Zhi upset because she had just claimed Mo Fang was hers? But she had just recently rejected Mo Fang, and now, in front of everyone, she couldn’t cause trouble for him. So Shen Li had no choice but to say that he was also just a comrade.

Satisfied with her answer, Xing Zhi joined everyone for a drink with the princess. Fu Rong Jun thought Xing Zhi had asked those questions to clear things up on his behalf and gratefully thanked him. But when Xing Zhi calmly said he had already written a letter to the Heavenly Lord reporting Fu Rong Jun’s actions and words in the Spirit Realm, Fu Rong Jun was stunned as if struck by lightning and was left speechless.
