## Summary

Ye Yan struggles to answer Huang Xiaoyan's question. He is troubled by the fact that Huang's image appears in his mind whenever he is asked who he likes, but also feels unsure to say that he doesn't like her. Huang Xiaoyan presses Ye Yan to answer the question, and in a desperate attempt to evade it, he counter-questions her about her relation with Y'Shari, mentioning that the demon king addressed her as his concubine. Huang explains that she was being controlled at the time, causing Ye Yan to implore if she was taken advantage of while being manipulated, which she denies. In response to his prying, Huang Xiaoyan reveals that she used an Untitled Sage spell to check if she was touched by a man recently and lies that there were no marks, being too embarrassed to admit that the spell indicated the only male she's been in physical contact lately is Ye Yan. Ye Yan notices and points out that Huang Xiaoyan is blushing, causing her to angrily accuse him of sexual harassment for asking the question and hit him. Ye Yan admits his fault but quips about Huang Xiaoyan's sensitivity towards such questions, which causes her to fiercely retaliate by drop-kicking him and calling him thick-skinned. As the two brawl in their apartment, three elders misunderstand the situation and believe they are being intimate. A beaten Ye Yan is shown being relieved that he managed to dodge the question and confirm Huang Xiaoyan was not taken advantage of.

Some time later, Xi Sha is seen walking down a road. A narration talks about how Xi Sha's personality became more firm and pure after her beliefs were tested by the **Demon Vanquishing Spell**, despite her retaining no memories of the incident. The narration further details how her encounters with Ximen Lan, Mu Lulu, and Ye Yan have profoundly impacted her personality, allowing her to live true to herself. Xi Sha then chances upon Bao Huajuan, who also notices her. The two express their mutual sense of having met the other before. Finding the demon lord cute, Bao Huajuan wishes to befriend her and introduces herself. Her name makes Xi Sha think of food and drool as a result, much to Bao's annoyance, which causes her to call Xi Sha a "bastard" in a fit of rage. Angered by the insult, Xi Sha beats her up and leaves. The narration then reveals that Xi Sha is simply more single-minded in her relationships than her previous incarnation, and retains her domineering personality. It is then explained that the reason Bao Huajuan and Xi Sha felt familiar with each other is because they were both involved in the school play, but did not notice each other due to both of them paying attention to someone else. The narration finally explains that Bao Huajuan simply shares a similar hairstyle to Mu Lulu and nothing else.

A flashback to ten hours ago shows a heavily injured Pang Dali tripping as he is seemingly fleeing from someone. He mentally expresses his terror and laments about his misfortune for encountering an Untitled Sage despite escaping to South City. Hiding behind a pillar, Pang Dali spies on the Untitled Sage who attacked him while mentally noting that she is more terrifying than Huang Xiaoyan. Having no more strength to escape, the bear monster prays to heaven, hoping the Untitled Sage would leave. Instead, a group of five other Untitled Sages appear near his assailant, much to his shock. He then notices that his attacker is acting less arrogant in front of the newcomers, deducing that the newly arrived Untitled Sages are stronger than her. One of the Untitled Sages rhetorically questions why the Hollow Jade Mountain is the only sect permitted to represent the Untitled Sages, while another mockingly asks why those from the Hollow Jade Mountain sect are the only ones who possess a certain privilege. A third Untitled Sage announces that they arrived at the wrong place since their target is Bozhou before ordering the others to act separately. The group of six agree and then disappear, much to Pang Dali's confusion.
