Xing Zhi’s thinking differs from that of Shen Li’s, as he thinks one should not hold grudges. Even though what Chengjin did was wrong, Xing Zhi thinks that killing him would not be worth it.

Shen Li finally breaks the news to Xing Zhi that she will have to return to the immortal realm. She tells him that even though she likes him, he is free. Shen Li finally notices Xing Zhi’s frail condition.

She identifies his wounds as blood bubbles that form from resentment. She worries for him as these bubbles have the ability to rot bones and flesh. Shen Li wonders how Xing Zhi could hold for so long.

As Shen Li’s master is able to track her down, she has no choice but to take refuge in a hideout. She sends a demon to check up on Xing Zhi. The demon reports back that Xing Zhi might pass away soon from his sickness.

Meanwhile, the lord of the immortal realm has sent two generals to take her back to the palace. The Lord has ordered them to cripple her and take her to the wedding ceremony. As the soldier tries to harm Xing Zhi with his sword, Shen Li arrives at the spot and attacks the soldier fiercely.
