## Description

A-Gen faces Fu and his group, who want to steal the Shining Pearl from him. He ends up being taken hostage, alongside the elfin artist trio. They are taken into Qingqiu's spiritual space. Meanwhile, Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Shanxin get ready for an anime convention.

## Plot

A-Gen and Fu fight, A-Gen using ice attacks and Fu using his supernatural strength. However, they are equally matched, and neither one can win. From the side, the elfin artists trio (A-Xian, Moss and Tanjiu) observe them, worried. On the other side, Qingqiu, Jiuxian, Polao and Qianzhen are watching as well. A-Xian launches his teleporting coin, but Qianzhen detects it, and using his special sword, Qianzhen blocks the teleportation from happening. A-Xian proposes doing a more complex teleportation method, but Moss reminds him that it’d take too long, so instead they’ll just wait. Once the fight momentarily stops, A-Gen asks to leave at once. Finally, Qingqiu tells him they want the Shining Pearl. They explain that it’s allowed to steal the rewards of the twelfth volume of Laojun’s vows, but A-Gen tells them he doesn’t have the pearl. After observing him carefully, Qingqiu realizes A-Gen is telling the truth, and that Xiaobai or Xiaohei must have it Qianzhen mocks Qingqiu for making such a mistake. A-Gen asks if he’s allowed to go now, but Qianzhen doesn’t allow it. He tells A-Gen that his ability allows him to know the truth, and that therefore they’ll keep A-Gen as a hostage, without any further explanation. The only way A-Gen can escape is by fighting and defeating all of them. The elfin artist trio will also have to stay with them. Qingqiu manifests a red ring, and tells them that it’ll probably not feel good.

At Shanxin’s house, Shanxin and Xiaobai play an online game using a Virtual Reality headset. Xiaobai has fun, but Shanxin is clearly very talented at it, despite only having bought the game the day before. Huangshou is desperate to get near Xiaohei, but he’s having none of it. Xiaohei gets so annoyed he uses his powers to create an invisible wall between them, keeping Huangshou away from him. While Huangshou tries to understand what’s happening, Xiaohei opens the item that he received from Laojun at the Guild Hall. It contains a note from him, but Xiaohei is unable to read it because he’s illiterate.

Meanwhile, A-Gen and the elfin artist trio are being kept prisoners inside Qingqiu’s spiritual space. It’s a cozy space, which holds tea and many sweets to eat. A-Gen is at eat, drinking some tea, while Moss talks with him. A-Xian and Tanjiu walk around, observing the space. Moss asks why A-Gen (whom he calls Xuanli) isn’t worried about his friends, but A-Gen tells him worrying doesn’t has any point. A-Xian asks why A-Gen was able to beat him so easily before, but A-Gen simply tells him that he (A-Xian) was way weaker than Fu as his group. Tanjiu finds the end of the space by hitting an invisible wall. A-Gen explains to them that only naturally complete spaces are circular. Since they’re all prisoners, A-Gen asks them what they really doing following him.

At Shanxin’s house, Xiaobai reads Laojun’s note to Xiaohei. It contains the Spirit Stimulating Pills (Beilingdan), a series of pills he has to take three times a day, every day, after his stabilization has been adjusted, and afterwards he’ll be cured. It also tells Xiaohei to say hello to Wuxian from Laojun. Shanxin notices Xiaobai talking to her cat, which she finds funny. Xiaobai proves to her that she can actually understand Xiaohei’s words, and that she uses Hei to communicate with Bidiu. Despite telling her that, Xiaohei warns Xiaobai to not mention the existence of Elfins to Shanxin.

Inside Qingqiu’s spiritual space, the elfin artists trio introduce themselves to A-Gen. He learns their names (Moss, A-Xian and Tanjiu), and that they were looking for the Shining Pearl as well. Moss explains they wanted it in order to further their cultivation, since magic material is very scarce in their days, and developing yourself became much harder. At that moment, Qingqiu and Jiuxian appear in the space. Qingqiu tells them that they haven’t found Xiaobai and Xiaohei yet, since they’re having trouble tracing their bus. A-Gen knows resisting them will be useless, and he doesn’t want his friends to be hurt, so he tells Qingqiu that if they’re able to find the Pearl on their own, he’ll give it to them for free. Tanjiu is surprised to see such a peaceful robbery, but A-Xian tells him everyone is simply following the rules. Then, Qingqiu talks to Moss, and tells him that he heard him call A-Gen “Xuanli”. Qingqiu tells him that A-Gen is not Xuanli, after all. A-Gen smiles, and says that he never said he was Xuanli, in the first place.

At night, Shanxin and Xiaobai sleep with their cats. Shanxin and Huangshou fall off the bed, and wake up in the kitchen the next morning. The girls brush their teeth together.
