Zuoshi having finished showing the shocked and injured Yaya the vision of the past, he commands Honghong to come to him, and she obeys like a puppet trapped in his illusion. He then tries to take her spirit power through a kissing technique he learned from the Shadow Foxes. Before he can begin, Bai Yuechu bursts out of the ground (somewhat surprised himself) and punches Zuoshi in the face and demanding he stop because "that little fool is my child bride".
Earlier, Bai Qiuen mourns the alleged death of his son, having narrowly escaped himself, but consoles himself with the fact that he had purchased a life insurance policy for his son and will now have a ton of cash. Bai Yuechu appears out of the ground with an armful of food (tortillas from the other side of the world) revealing he is alive. He explains that he used Ground Traversal Seals (Dixing Fu) in order to use the force of Honghong's punch as means of momentum and that her punch sent him clear to the other side of the planet where he found all the tortillas. Bai Yuechu decides to return to try rescue Susu--not because he pretends to care about her--but because she is an easy free meal ticket (this makes his stingy dad proud to have raised a stingy son).
Back to present, Yuechu punches Zuoshi upset he is making a move on Honghong (to steal her spirit power). He fights with Shi Kuan, tricking him into blasting the Hunyuan bell trapping Rongrong, thereby freeing her. Rongrong then tells him they don't have a chance of winning against Honghong and Shi Kuan unless Bai turns into Dongfang Yuechu. Honghong overhears the name and becomes enraged. Rongrong explains Susu's body won't be able to sustain much longer, and she might die.
Bai Yuechu initially refuses because turning into Dongfang would tacitly admit that he inherits the billion yuan debt incurred by his past incarnations. He hears the disembodied voice of Dongfang telling him to save Honghong because she is Susu, asking him if he is willing to have her blood on his hands. Convinced, Yuechu decides to help and signs a contract with Rongrong that hires him as a 'Servant of Servants' (like Dongfang before) and gives him 5 rainbow lollipops. She then hits him on the back knocking his spirit free of his body so he can interact with Honghong in her trapped state.
