Under the tree, Biyou was eating the meat Xiaofan grilled for her, praising it repeatedly. Xiaofan said that if Biyou found it delicious, he could make it for her in the future. A trace of sadness flashed in Biyou's eyes. She knew very clearly that there was a chasm between her and Xiaofan that could not be bridged, so she didn't know if they had a future together. Xiaofan saw Biyou's disappointment.
He comforted Biyou, saying that future matters could be discussed later, and for now, she should just eat more. Biyou said this was the second most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life. Xiaofan pressed her about what the most delicious thing was, but Biyou smiled playfully and insisted on not telling him. The two continued to laugh and tease each other like this. Biyou fell asleep leaning on Xiaofan's shoulder.
Fearing to wake Biyou, Xiaofan dared not move at all, and sat motionless until he also fell asleep. When Xiaofan fainted, Biyou had sealed the second volume of the Heavenly Book with the Sorrowful Flower, so the second volume of the Heavenly Book was now preserved within the Sorrowful Flower.
Qin Wuyan, who had orchestrated taking the Sorrowful Flower, presented it and the Heavenly Book contained within to the Ghost King, expressing his sincerity and seeking cooperation with the Ghost King, though he secretly had other plans. Qin Wuyan deliberately tried to sow discord between Qingyun and the Ghost King Sect, claiming that he had snatched the Heavenly Book from a Qingyun disciple.
Even if the Ghost King didn't believe Qin Wuyan's words, he didn't refuse him for the time being. The next day, Biyou told Zhang Xiaofan that she was going back and asked him to find his senior brother. Xiaofan hesitantly said that he still hadn't found the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book. Hearing this, Biyou threw a small tantrum, thinking that Xiaofan wasn't actually concerned about her, but merely worried about the Heavenly Book's whereabouts.
Xiaofan quickly explained and apologized to Biyou, as he hadn't known she had waited all night. Biyou stated that the Sorrowful Flower had been cunningly taken by people from the Myriad Poison Sect, but Aunt You was already trying to track it down. Xiaofan was still concerned that the Ghost King might use the Heavenly Book for other purposes.
Biyou huffily declared that she would bid farewell to Xiaofan, and then walked off on her own, with Xiaofan following closely behind. Biyou arrived at a small pavilion in the mountains and saw her father. After her father gave her a meaningful look, Biyou said nothing and quietly sat to one side. The Ghost King introduced himself as Wan Renwang and invited Xiaofan to sit down and enjoy tea with him. The Ghost King and Xiaofan chatted idly.
The Ghost King expressed his great interest in the fire-stoking stick in Xiaofan's hand. After getting Xiaofan's consent, the Ghost King took it to examine closely. Then, he asked Xiaofan if his vital blood was on the stick. Xiaofan thought for a moment, and the Ghost King got an affirmative answer from Xiaofan's expression.
The Ghost King told Xiaofan that the Blood-Devouring Bead on the stick was a sacred item of the Demonic Sect, a relic of the Demonic Sect's patriarch, the Black Hearted Elder. And this unassuming-looking black short stick was originally a naturally ominous and malevolent object, named Soul-Capturing Rod. Xiaofan's expression changed upon hearing this. He didn't know why he had come into contact with such an evil object.
The Ghost King pressed him on why he considered these to be evil objects. Xiaofan replied that it was because these evil objects were used by villains to harm living beings. The Ghost King wanted to argue that one should view evil objects dialectically, telling him that the Immortal-Slaying Sword, revered as a divine object by Qingyun, had also killed countless living beings during the war between good and evil a thousand years ago.
He then asked Xiaofan how he explained his use of a Demonic Sect's evil object. Xiaofan stated that although his magical artifact was an evil object, he used it to slay demons and eradicate evil, which was the righteous path, and he had a clear conscience. The Ghost King greatly admired Xiaofan's argument, stating that he had surpassed the vast majority of people in this world.
Xiaofan realized that the person before him was no ordinary individual, so he asked who he truly was. Biyou, who had been sitting silently aside, now stood up and called out 'Father' to the man. Xiaofan instantly understood. Biyou left with her father. The Ghost King took out the Sorrowful Flower and told Biyou to return to Fox Mountain with him, and then he would return the Sorrowful Flower to her.
Seeing Biyou repeatedly utter Zhang Xiaofan's name, the Ghost King already understood Biyou's feelings. He told Biyou that he knew Zhang Xiaofan had saved her from danger multiple times, and he would find an opportunity to repay the favor. Biyou was overjoyed at this, but the Ghost King added that it would also depend on whether Xiaofan would come to Fox Mountain to find Biyou.
Biyou then felt a trace of uneasiness, as she wasn't sure if Xiaofan would come looking for her. The Ghost King's words had a certain impact on Xiaofan. After much thought, he still hadn't come up with a clear answer, so he decided to first help Biyou find the Sorrowful Flower before returning to Qingyun Sect. At Fox Mountain at this time, Biyou and her father worked together to extract the Heavenly Book from the Sorrowful Flower.
Biyou was worried that her father would use the Heavenly Book to revive a divine beast, but her father assured her that the Heavenly Book was an ancient divine artifact and he would not cultivate it rashly. Before they could finish speaking, someone announced that Xiaofan had arrived. Biyou was very happy about Xiaofan's arrival. The Ghost King had been constantly trying to find ways to make Xiaofan serve his sect.
On the way back to Qingyun, Xiao Yicai and Lin Jingyu were traveling when Xiao Yicai's poison flared up. Lin Jingyu helped him heal, but his physical strength was depleted.
Xiao Yicai recalled that he had once been forced by the Ghost King to drink the Blood of the Beast God, which greatly increased his magical power but also came at a cost: every full moon, he would transform into a bloodthirsty monster, and anyone who came into contact with his blood would also be transformed into a beast. Xiao Yicai was determined to save himself, so he added his own blood to the medicine he gave Lin Jingyu.
