This episode gave all the feels. Kai returned, but the other chefs were no in a forgiving mood. None wanted to cook or eat anything Gaku had a part in. Kai and Goku had their four courses planned. The mentor made the bargain that if any did not move him that Kai would never cook again…and Kai agreed. When I heard this I was annoyed at the arrogance of the mentor. Who gave him the right to have so much power over someones\’s destiny? I was equally annoyed at Kai for accepting the bargain. Was he really going to end up an herb farmer?😝Magoroku was the only one that actually asked what they were cooking. He realized the importance of it and backed his friend by persuading all of them to show up. Kai was physically worn out from the travel and planning stages of the meal. His chefs rallied with him to create the next level meal. The mentor quietly ate all four courses and then called Gaku and Kai to the kitchen. He then prepared his famous dish for Gaku who had never tried it. Gaku was transported by the flavors and apologized to Kai for failing to surpass the god. Here the mentor surprised me some. He discovered that when the door opened to next level that the path continued to infinite doors. That the both had cooked delicious meals and that was enough. Gaku got in his face a bit and asked if that was all he had to say to Kai. He asked Gaku what he was thinking after he had tried the dish. His response..how to make it better. Exactly…the mentor said that once Kai went there he had successfully surpassed his god. That his food was delicious and he loved it. He went on to describe his finding and keeping Kai as his apprentice and had become a son to him. He said it was a fear of letting him go and watching him be sick that made him believe Kai shouldn’t cook. But now he knew he would not be alone so he could leave after charging Gaku to take care of his son.He looked Kai in the eye and told him to do his best.🥰 it was a very touching father/son/best friend moment. After the meal the chefs wished each other to do their best. They each had a destiny to fulfill to make them the chefs they were meant to be. This left Kai and Gaku alone but they are doing well. They have a little hole in the wall restaurant that only certain customers know about. The three girls are keeping an eye on their guys😂 And may Director Saimon never cross their doorway. 😝 This was a very fun journey to watch. The actors and production staff did an excellent job and the audiences was moved with all their efforts. If you enjoy cooking shows this gives a different perspective that focuses more on the chefs than the dishes. I found this a very interesting perspective.

Gaku worked so hard to become the chef Kai wanted him to be. However, that was not the chef Gaku needed to be. Once he achieved the sight of next cooking stage, he looked around to see staff and customers gone. He had quite effectively isolated himself as his mentor and his mentor’s mentor had done. But unlike them, he saw beyond. Gaku’s father was in the hospital from an accident and there Gaku told his father how he had failed. His father pointed out that his strength was not the same as Kai’s. That he needed people. He pointed Gaku in the right direction and spurred him on. Swimming friend called Gaku out of the blue and had the right words to nudge him to correct path. He needed a true friend to guide him. She was sad for his circumstances but reminded him that life can be both hard and beautiful. She reminded him to love cooking and that he was her hero. Energized by their encouragement, he sets out to find Kai. He tells him how he failed and drove the others away because they could not understand his vision. It took great persuasion, but Kai saw and understood the direction their combined talents could go. That together they could continue path to challenge god. They return to restaurant, but Ranna is quite set that Gaku has no place in the kitchen. And here is where the episode leaves us.😝

Kai is facing what appears to be insurmountable odds…a brain tumor with losing taste as a side effect. Does he risk losing even more with medical procedures or accept his current limitations as status quo? Gaku is being introduced to the management side of house and it is floundering. He has been fortunate to gain the favors of many investors but they are still losing ground between expenditures and gains. Gaku knew this unfortunate truth early on with his math skills. But as smart as he is, he is still basically barely out of HS and being asked to not only manage the cuisine for the restaurant, but to keep it afloat without input from Kai. Director Saimon…..the bad penny that keeps showing up. He has access to money, but he is a petty, grudge bearing little man that really makes you want to flatten him like the cockroach he is. 😝He has come foreword to be an investor but wants exclusive management control. The loathsome jerk he is, he happily shares Kai’s medical records and how Kai has deserted them. After soul searching with the chefs, they unitedly chose to refuse the offer and to request he not return. He will be a pain in the ass til the bitter end but I hope that he has a nice case of karma we are privy to before drama ends. He has selfishly plagued this kid since HS and he needs to be on his way. We are given some of Kai’s painful childhood memories. For his poor situation, he is actually rather stoic. He meets his mentor who molded him to stay alone and trust no one as he climbs the tiers of chef mastery. He did not give Kai a way out to progress with less pain. He befriends him now but even Kai taunts him to stick around and see the monster he created. Gaku was the finishing piece of Kai’s quest to surpass god with his cooking…his pre and post self. Gaku’s swimming friend has called from the airport. She lied to spare painful goodbye, but after Kai’s disappearing act she opted not to give Gaku a repeat. He is very sad because his friend will be gone. He appreciates all his fellow chefs but like math friends, they are colleagues or mentors but not really friends. He has achieved peerless stature and sees the gray for what it is. Leading with no friends. This is a lot for a 19 yr old kid to deal with. No wonder he is breaking under the pressure. Waiting to see if his math genius can come up with a solution for the totality of the responsibilities placed on him. Kai’s friend I think likes the spunk of the chefs fighting to stay with Kai in spite of his absence. Except for director cockroach who is openly antagonistic to all three top chefs, everybody else wants these underdogs to succeed.

Gaku was totally freaked out at presenting his food to his classmate idol. He had the typical nightmare where he was seen as a failure in math and cooking. His friends helped him along to regain his confidence and plan the perfect menu for the event. His sports friend was also dealing with a challenge. She was offered a place in Australia to train as a professional swimmer. Her coach wanted to know why she would pass up such an opportunity to stay in Japan. One word….Gaku. She had always crushed on him and was hoping he would return those feelings. She surprised him with a visit to let him know about the opportunity and he wished her well and rejoiced for her. He asked to swap hoodies, she could only say…Kitada…you are so…Kitada…and laugh and shake hands farewell. He will be her fondest memory and she will be his dearest friend. We meet his HS idol who is a genius for sure, but also an arrogant ass. He chats with girl math genius and proposes most unromantically over the phone because it is most rational.😝 He is surely a piece of work. He is so pompous he doesn’t even realize how absurd he appears. He truly doesn’t care. He has visions of marrying the girl and having Gaku as his assistant to bring math to the world. He truly expects Gaku to follow him to Princeton and be his disciple. 😝 The girl genius sees her fate, and like swimmer girl wished Gaku saw her as a girl.😅She already recognizes his gift for food via math but Mr obtuse is too busy eating gummies. I don’t eat superfluous food when I’m traveling. He was in a five star hotel eating gummies and had the audacity to give his plate to Gaku because he didn’t have time for his dalliance with cooking and fully expected Gaku to leave with him on a big math quest. Gaku is overwhelmed and ready to give up. The entire kitchen rallies and encourages him to go down swinging. Magoroku tells him to figure it out the way he always does. What could he personally create to show idol his new form of math and get him to eat it? He uses the painting on swimmer girl’s hoodie to inspire him. Even Kai rolls up his sleeves to help him. Let’s surpass perfection.😁 The dish he creates wakes up his narcissistic friend. He literally sees and recognizes the math on his plate and sees the potential. He acknowledges that his friend is an equal genius with cooking and that he must master this for the good of the world. It was interesting to see that Gaku saw no math answer from his colleagues. The numbers just piled and disappeared leaving him alone. He shares this with Kai who definitely understands. Kai did not share his own collapse and chat with doc telling him to stop cooking. He did not share this with Ranna either but did inform her that Gaku would be his successor. Kai tells Gaku he will be in charge of restaurant for two weeks while he goes to Paris to open a new location. Gaku said it was all a lie and that it was the last time he saw Kai as the episode ends.

Kai’s restaurant is catering a party at a local hotel for the guests of a competition. It is a high end affair and the chef that represents the menu will receive publicity and accolades. It’s a big deal and gives huge bragging rights to promote career. Gaku has pretty determinedly decided he wanted to help his friends not compete against them. The only one of similar mindset was top sous chef who had been removed from competing. As time went on, Gaku was made to realize that if he truly wanted to be a chef, he needed to explore all opportunities to advance his abilities. If he wanted to cook beside Kai, he needed to push harder to reach that degree of mastery. Top sous chef shared his best dish ideas with Gaku who made a unique dish for party. Appetizer soup and protein could be combined in succession to make a cohesive meal. Literally a party in a bowl. Kai as usual, has a direct and harsh way to wake chefs up to their true potential. He made his top sous chef realize that as good as his signature dish was, he had ceased to advance in his cooking. He was instrumental in Kai’s success by being his relight hand man and support. But this had come at the price of giving up his own place as a signature chef. He had stopped thinking and reinventing his dishes to placidly following Kai’s lead and enforcing the menu around others’ taste profiles. He ran the kitchen but he had stopped adding to the menu. All the chefs had to acknowledge that even tho he was the newest chef, Gaku continued to twist the norms and create new levels of cuisine. His math skills and drive pushed him on to new heights and clarity. He instinctively created the next level dishes as he saw in his domino method. Building on the old to reinvent the new. Kai handed him the paperwork of who the guests were and what the hotel expected. Gaku learned it was the ceremonial dinner for the math award winners. This was the contest he ran from and he faced in his mind the math student that made him realize his true limitations as a mathematician. The stress caused Gaku to literally collapse as the episode ends. He has to face his worst fear alongside top sous chef. Kai gave them both opportunity to pursue their best selves and overcome the fear that held them back. I am very curious how Gaku’s dishes will go over with his old math colleagues. And I want to know if top sous chef settles for that honor in Kai’s kitchen, or chooses to explore what direction his cooking could go if he took time to think about it.

Gaku’s dad comes to visit. He gets friends to join them for an outing. Sports friend is jealous of math friend. And Magoroku let’s both girls know he’s available.😂 I think he was partial to sports girl.😂 He tell the history of French toast which later inspires Gaku. Ranna is offered a chef position by the one who wants to buy restaurant. He is a bad penny always showing up and always with a grudge.😝 Gaku has a chat with Ranna’s mom and asks for help to encourage Ranna to not be alone. That liar who tried to trick her into contract. He had been defeated before and I think he wants to have property for a bigger project. He personally went on a bad comment wave to get Ranna’s mom cancelled. And then the louse had the temerity to act like he was helping daughter revenge mother by getting Kai fired. Omg he is such an ass. 😝 Fortunately Ranna was wise enough to take time to consider, and he was arrogant enough to let her take it—he was that sure he had the deal in the bag. Ranna’s mom may never choose to cook professionally again, but maybe now she can enjoy it on her own terms. Ranna had reason to fear committing herself publicly, but times are changing and she did not back down from the chance to lead. She is now just about ready to take her place as top sous chef. I cheered along with the guys for her. It’s been a long time coming. She is back in Kai’s kitchen where she belongs and things seem much brighter for everybody. Kai unexpectedly grabs Gaku by the collar and tells him to step it up. To not depend on the others and aim high. In the present time we see him acting like Kai. He is willing to fire the entire chef and he has not found harmony in his cooking. It is just out of reach and he is panicking. Kai isn’t around and everybody thinks Gaku has flipped and they are now on Titanic sinking fast. From what I’ve noticed about Kai while eating….i think he is losing his palette and can’t taste properly. And I think that ass with the contract knows. I believe this is why he is lighting the fire under the feet of all of them for them to step up to their top game while he can help them. I don’t think singling out Gaku was the right move, but he’s running out of time and desperate. If it’s not a health issue something has him on a tight leash for time and we will hopefully find out what it is. I hope Ranna can find a way to get Gaku on track like he did for her. In spite of peerless meaning having no one…..I want this team to figure out how to make an exception to the rule.

This episode let the best chefs focus on a menu for a specific food critic. Their restaurant always received high praise. However, it always lacked the highest praise of critic wanting to frequent restaurant. Here Ranna shares a bit of her knowledge with Gaku. To believe in a flavor rather than analyze every individual customer. Make your dish great for customers yet to be seen. He learns she doesn’t go out to guests because prior experience soured her to their comments about women chefs. She knew her dishes would be appreciated more and evaluated higher if they thought she was male. Gaku learned only 1% of female chefs made it and pointed out she was alone in this kitchen. Circumstances had them meet in a Chinese restaurant where they tried one of the specials. They both came away with ideas. Kai gave specific chefs lead on the courses and Gaku was given appetizers. After Ranna helped him realize he needed to please more than food critic he blindly chose figs. He figured a unique way to prepare it and the critic was impressed. However, in spite of the rave review Gaku failed to have it complement the soup coarse. What was supposed to invite the diner to a grand experience was ruined by the clash of the first two coarses. After adjusting the liquid to a sauce on top, he retained all the flavors and complemented the next dish. Ranna’s lamb packed the punch she wanted and Kai talked the critic to try revised appetizer. This won them the coveted want to frequent comment. At the end of the episode Ranna drops an unexpected bomb. She told Gaku that this was her mother’s restaurant and that three years ago Kai had stolen it. Jaw dropping end of episode.🤯

Kai tries to invite Gaku and the one refusing to give name on an outing. When Gaku accidentally trashes that idea Kai changes plans to have them cook a meal for acquaintances of Gaku. He doesn’t realize that it’s a school donor and his math friend from school that found him boring. She always believed that she was the one that chased him away from math. What she did do was make him reevaluate his math potential and recognize he wasn’t finding it fun any more. One of Kai’s sous chefs wants to launch her own idea for a restaurant. She created a beautiful dish combining synergies of seafood and pork. It was done so that the flavors truly complimented. Gaku loved the idea and decided he wanted to try for the meal. He was sabotaged by his sous chef who wanted to launch one of his ideas. Gaku had too much info and first dish a disaster. He quickly creates another that the sous chef ate. Whether true or not he said the food was delicious but the presentation awful. He then cuts lose with anger that a novice could create such a dish. He admitted being jealous and hoping to use his ideas. Gaku worked with him to show his friend the beauty of math via food. She found this Gaku interesting. The sous chef revealed his name as Magoroku. He told Gaku his father had yet to call him by name in the kitchen. It was always ‘hey you’. The two bond over washing dishes. He let his friend know that she had no part in his decision to run away from math. That he now loved cooking and used math to create recipes. After the dinner she was convinced and felt she had regained her lost friend. At the end of the episode the time moves forward and the chefs decide to mutiny against Gaku. He is losing it so it is not without reason. One thing that he told his friend when at their Tokyo-esque restaurant was that he felt lonely. That was unexpected this early. He is seeing in advance the cost of being peerless.

Kai does not know how to understand the young man that has pages of math to explain how long it takes to wait in line. He knows that Gaku has a unique perspective in the world because of his math obsession, but this makes it difficult to be understood by people that use language to communicate.😝 Gaku is a complete mess in the kitchen and is learning by literal trial by fire how to meander through and survive. He notes that doing chores and making comfort food doesn’t earn him recognition. They all refuse to tell him their names because they don’t see him lasting there long enough. His lodging is set up at Kai’s place which introduces him to a worldliness he has never been exposed to.😂His friend from high school stands by him and even when injured she brings him food from home. This Bento box of home serves as his muse for worker’s dish. Kai originally gave him a month and then reduced it to a single week. To stay employed every employee must like his dish unanimously. He is down to the last two days and has finally figured out what to do. He raises the bar of Japanese cuisine to make it international and appealing to the chefs sitting around the table. All of them know a bit is missing for perfection from their homeland, but he makes every single one of them think of home no matter where that is. He has broken his glass ceiling of understanding and is now able to deliver unique and top quality dishes. As Kai watches his mentors dine, he is told that when you become peerless, your really are. He is reminded that it is truly lonely at the top. Young Gaku was happy to discover food through math. His love for both came out in his food. The sous chefs were determined to not give him any assists. They threw everything at him to sink or swim on his own. Not one of them thought Kai should have hired him. It was not until his Nostalgia dish that they understood the talent Kai knew from first dish. He has earned everybody’s name but one. At the end of the episode, that one is trying to get Gaku to eat and fighting with him about losing himself. They want their friend back and not this shadow perfectionist version of himself. I hope he will break through this new ceiling and find the real him soon. The story is composed of a very interesting juxtaposition of his young self and older self. By seeing the optimistic and pleasant young man, we can grit it out through this less than ideal version of himself to see what happens when he reaches the other side. This is a very interesting drama about growing pains and career ambitions and what is most important in life.

The episode starts with a chef berating a sous chef for not ‘seeing’ that the dish isn’t made correctly. The chef seems very driven, aloof, and has himself alienated from everybody. His perfectionism is sought after by customers but dreaded by colleagues. The story then backs up to introduce Gaku Kitada, the top student at Weis and expected to be a math genius for UTokyo. His parents both wished him a happy life and at a very young age Gaku decided math made him happy and he wanted to be as good as Fermat. His father supported him in this endeavor and did everything possible to earn money to help him make his way to UTokyo when the time came. He worked in a diner and made a dish for him and a co-worker. He was watched very carefully by a man that had entered. After completing the dish, the customer wanted a plate made for him. Gaku refused because it was made for workers and he did not consider it suitable for a paying customer. The man grabbed a fork and proceeded to eat Gaku’s lunch.😂 Gaku didn’t know what to make of the guy who introduced himself as Kai Asakura. He was a Michelin star chef and he wanted Gaku to come work for him. Gaku politely said no thank you because he only loved math. When Gaku was taking the exam for the math competition, he realized that while he loved math and was quite good at it, that his dream of being a great mathematician was beyond his abilities. He saw it clearly and at that moment decided to end his goal of math. The Dean of the school gave him an option to enter the contest at a different school, but Gaku politely refused. The response from the school was to expel him before graduation and to pay back the 4.5million yen he owed the school for investing in him. The boy is distraught and Kai shows up with a single chance to change his fate. To cook a dish and win over the school officials dining at his restaurant or not try and go home a failure. The boy accepts the challenge and Kai tells him he can reverse engineer the dish he made to create a recipe. He made it perfectly and heated up the silverware. The Dean was then put in the position of thanking the chef for the excellent meal and reenrolling him in school. Gaku graduated top in his class and even was accepted at UTokyo, which he refused. The Dean and his dad were not happy with his choice. When the episode shows scenes of father and son, dad was always cooking. Without realizing it he wanted to be more like dad. He left to study cooking with Kai and his new adventure begins. The end of the episode is where it began…Gaku is a completely different person and not the sweet kid that loves math and cooking. I truly hope this is not the end of his story.

In this episode we find out why General is causing interference with new sheriff’s investigations. He wanted Sheriff Di to choose him as disciple to take over office. He was jealous of the one chosen and until tiger illusion felt superior. Both of them knew Chang’an tea had something to do with strange occurrences. The general had set up a trap at ghost market to catch tea buyer. He managed to catch sheriff and servant instead. While he was busy mocking him and leaving them hanging to observe how they would handle case, a huge tiger comes into market. Two of general’s team jumps out of window and when he runs for it sheriff shames him into killing with sword and not to jump. This is how he learned it was an illusion and that the two who jumped out of the window were killed by traps. The brother was guilty of buying a powder that when added to horse’s water would make it run wildly and sweat bold til it died. He was plotting to betray sister and sell chan’an tea as a bride price for the maid carrying his child. His dealings with the masked ones from ghost market got him and sister killed. The sheriff found case files the general had written up and that helped him see the ceremonial pattern of human sacrifices. The general is in a drunken morose state because he thought he was the superior investigator. He was ashamed he was fooled by tiger illusion and got two of his men killed. The sheriff complimented him on many of the cases he made notes on. He tried to encourage the personnel minister to stop drinking the tea. He told him about the illusions they caused and hinted strongly that this is what most likely led to the death of prior sheriff. He finds out his daughter is obsessed with a general that was killed in battle. The general she painted is not the one she says she wants to marry. She drew the cousin who is alive and well and happens to be the general giving the sheriff a bad time. The dad of the murdered brother and sister wants to bring the maid up on charges for theft. The sheriff tells him of the son’s plan to take care of maid and child and encourages the father to sell the tea and accept the maid as mother of his grandchild. That she wasn’t stealing, but getting back what was supposed to be their safety net to live on. The face changing entities were eerie changing faces. Do the masks let them literally steal the faces of their victims? They are responsible for this tea becoming popular with the royals and nobles. Where do they get it? What is in it? And how many people have died because of it? The sheriff is getting more questions than answers, but is heading in the right direction for answers. Hopefully no more traps from the general😝

The episode begins with the sheriff of Chang’an being awakened by a cat. It’s actually rather funny him chasing it around with a sword. As he is led outside the cat becomes female demon who further taunts him. As he promises to kill her to save the town, he plunges her first in a pond. I found this funny too but he does not come up spluttering as expected. A disciple of his is called in to inspect the body. From the outset the general of the guard is interested in murder investigations. He and new sheriff butt heads as their investigative methods collide in pursuit of the culprit. After the mysterious death of sheriff a new bride also dies under mysterious circumstances. The smirk of her brother as horse runs off with carriage had me thinking he was culprit. But we find the husband had gambling issues and planned on selling his bride to traffickers but she never arrived at his home. A masked entity finds her wandering around after carriage mishap. Many hours later the new sheriff arrives to find her shrouded with mask plastered to face. What is very unusual is her body is not decomposing and he wants to know what is preserving her. The brother can provide no assistance because he is found hanging in his room. The husband was out after curfew and an overly enthusiastic guard shot and killed him with arrow even as General tried to stop him. The only other aside is the minister of personnel’s daughter has a crush on the general. The new sheriff learned this at his visit before he passed out at the sight of red tea. It is curious why a person who passes out at the sight of blood wants to be a murder investigator. 😝He is an odd duck because he is floating leisurely in the pond where his predecessor died wondering how he could have drowned in such a shallow place. In the west market he learns of a ghost shop that may have the preservative he is looking for. This episode definitely introduces the weird and rivalry of general and sheriff in case investigations.

Things come to a head when the empress joins second son to fight greedy shard. Once third son realizes the sisters share pain he goes to assist. The empress is shown third son’s real power, but her ace is his mother. He foolishly takes a poison pill that will cripple him if he tries to use his powers. He escapes with their lives but nothing more. The second son thinks he has things wrapped up now.😝The empress threw an ice spell at YeTan that is incurable unless special gold fire is used. Greedy shard gives up all his money to have them make fire. She is still under its spell but his calling for her and the abacus brings her out of the dream state. He tenderly watches over her and truly doesn’t care about wealth anymore. His wealth is her.🥰 QingKui gets out from under the spell too and helps cure consort mother. She does not however, have the means to cure third prince. He recognizes that he is now helpless for the battles ahead and chooses to further distance himself. YeTan visits and his duplicity is discovered. He now boldly tells her of his deception because he sees it as the only means of saving her. He is determined to destroy himself to save both women he loves. I sure hope there is an option that will do this but keep him and princess together. That second son is cowardly and a drunkard, it would be better for brute first son to reign than him.😝 Now to see how they resolve all this.

Third prince is still pouting and QingKui now avoids visiting tho does send food and tea for them. We find out that best friend led second prince to beast kingdom. Now he may find out about shards as well. YeTan and money loving shard are seen by second prince and troops. YeTan is quick on her feet and figures a good way to bluff. Greedy shard almost blows it by bragging entirely too much because he bargains to be paid by the word.😝 It was most fortunate for him that second prince is a complete coward and knows some of safeguards Empyrean Prince had set up during Guixu fix. If he does become crown prince he has every intention of killing third prince. YeTan takes greedy shard to a wedding. She thinks he was absorbing the atmosphere. He only noticed gift table😂 He thinks up a scam by marrying her and extorting his assassin group to gift them. He even suggests going to her home town and getting married again as they would be happy to gift them more. She is totally disgusted by him and leaves. Her best friend actually gave sound advice this time. If she came to him insincerely, how does she expect him to treat her any differently? That gave her something to think about. She returns to young prince and asks him to help her guard greedy shard. He happily agrees and trails after them. Greedy shard and YeTan goe to night market. She again sees a flute and likes it. When she learns the cost she quickly returns it and is chided for touching something she can’t afford. Greedy shard has missed her and agrees to buy it for her. YeTan is touched that greedy shard is willing to buy it for her. Not only that, he paid for anything she wanted. This was new for YeTan because this was purchased for her tastes, not Qingkui’s. She treasured the flute most but still puzzled why he bought it. He lamented the cost…but when he thought of her smile said it was worth every penny.🥰 Heartless has discovered something other than money that makes him happy. That satisfied dopey smile that he had made his girl smile and be pleased with him…..was very damn cute.🥰😁

QingKui knows the ambition of third prince. She still firmly believes that him becoming crown prince will ruin him. She and beast prince devise a plan to trap third prince. Their plan is successful but came at an unexpected cost. Whether out of anger or sincerity the third prince reminds her of who she really is and tells her not to return to the void. She has proven herself to be the empyrean consort and he will have no one disloyal around him.💔 She had brought her friends food and tried to explain her position, but they don’t want to hear it. To keep faith with her sister she must risk losing all she now cares about. She leaves heartbroken.😢 When she gets back to beast prince’s place he and empyrean princess are very pleased and talking about even more punishment for them. They are quite gleeful. Since beast prince is more attuned to YeTan, he has no clue why QingKui is so upset and they leave her puzzled. YeTan brainstorms for money scheme. She and shard two have agreed if she can earn 5k teals of gold in half a day he will submit and have her as wife. If not, she must leave and not divulge secret that he is a fake. It is fun that he is all in for money but otherwise harmless🤣 She single-handedly defeated him with cunning and spell.😂 She borrows funds from him to make healing ointment and then captures a hive of venomous hornets to make the ointment needed. Them running to the cave was a cute adventure. He admires her ingenuity and intelligence. She has them head to the desert to rob a fierce clan. I think she is giving him more tales for his book.😂We must see where this heads🤣
