Quiet Moments Before the Storm
Yan Tuo is focused on fixing the bracelet Nie Jiuluo gave him. He treats the repair job with serious care. He decides to add a personal touch. He hides a secret note inside a paper lucky star. Nie Jiuluo folds a star of her own. It is a quiet, romantic exchange. They make a wish together. It feels like a brief pause from the chaos.
But the peace does not last. The next day, Nie Jiuluo overhears Xing Shen taking a call. He sounds frantic. She meets up with him in secret to get the details. Yan Tuo notices the tension. He worries about Lin Xirou. He thinks she is desperate now that she lost her base. A desperate enemy is dangerous. He fears she will lash out at Nie Jiuluo. Nie Jiuluo remains calm. She refuses to let fear run her life.
Domestic Bliss and Art Jitters
The kitchen is unusually lively. Yan Tuo, Lin Ling, and Uncle Changxi are all cooking together. Pots and pans clang. It is a warm, domestic scene. Nie Jiuluo watches them and feels happy.
Then her phone rings. A friend asks about her upcoming art exhibition. Nie Jiuluo looks at her canvas. Her face falls. She feels like her work isn't good enough. She starts doubting her talent. Yan Tuo sees her stress. He steps in to comfort her. He tells her she doesn't have to do the show if she doesn't want to. He cracks a joke to lighten the mood. He says she is pretty enough to survive without painting. The joke lands. They start chasing each other around the room. The laughter breaks the tension.
The Villain Calls Out the Heroes
Lin Xirou is done hiding. She issues a direct challenge to the Nanshan hunters. Her attitude is arrogant. She claims she has plenty of time to play games. She threatens to "host" Jiang Baichuan and the other hunters. Her threat gets specific and nasty. She says she might feed them to the unformed Di Xiao in the Roushan mine.
Xing Shen and Nie Jiuluo receive the message. They don't back down. They decide to accept the challenge. Que Cha is ready for this fight too. She has been training hard. Her archery skills are sharp now. She shoots with deadly precision.
The Ambush Plan
Night falls. Yan Tuo and Nie Jiuluo gear up. They head out to the Black and White Ravine to scout the location. They plan to ambush Lin Xirou. They want to end this conflict once and for all. Lin Ling watches them leave. She looks worried. But she also looks jealous. She envies their freedom to fight for justice.
The Nanshan hunters gather at their base. They perform a solemn knife ritual. It is a declaration of war. But elsewhere, the situation is grim. Lin Xirou surrounds Jiang Baichuan with her pack of Di Xiao. She demands to know where Feng Dao is hiding. Jiang Baichuan stays strong. He refuses to give up Nie Jiuluo's location. Lin Xirou loses patience. She tortures him for his silence. His screams echo in the dark.
