Though Pingqiu saves Luolan by kissing her, he does some other lewd things going a bit too far, and Luolan beats him up and arrests him for harassment. However, Luolan does not want news getting out that her first kiss was from a perv, as that would tarnish her own noble image. Even in prison, Yuechu hits on girls, so Luolan decides to teach Yuechu some manners and increase his spirit power so that her first kiss does not look like such a hoodlum to the outside press.
Meanwhile, a mysterious hooded man overhears the news. Yuechu was able to get past the Five Guards, so people think that he must be powerful, so he wants to make sure Yuechu never marries into the Huandu Clan to make them even more powerful. He sends spies, the Five Elements (五行天煞 Wuxing Tiansha), to infiltrate the palace, gather intel, and sabotage their plans.
Meanwhile Luolan is teaching Pingqiu manners but he continues to hug her. She beats him up and then realizes that he has no spirit power and is just a mere mortal. She does not want her brother or father to examine Yuechu for fear that they find out he is a mere human, so they mistakenly conclude that Luolan had already gotten down to home base with Yuechu and wants to keep it a secret.
Meanwhile the Five Tiansha ambush them. However, Huandu Qingtian easily destroys three of the Tiansha with his potent poison that can destroy plants and metal alike.
But the hooded man got all the intel he needed from the Three Tiansha and another mole planted in the Huandu palace. He realizes Qingtian has gotten weaker (there is something wrong with his Venom Body as it takes longer to cast) and that Yuechu is only a mortal.
