Episode 2 recap: Liu Yan Yan seduces Zhang Chu Lan.
Wudang Mountain, the master was practicing with other disciples while Wang Ye was lazily lying on a chair. The master was displeased with his lazy demeanor and approached Wang Ye to wake him up and join the practice. However, Wang Ye had no intention of practicing and instead went to seek advice from Grand Preceptor Zhou Meng about the concept of "inner scenery." Wang Ye told Zhou Meng that he couldn't achieve the state of inner scenery without any thoughts, and Zhou Meng explained that there must be a cause for an effect, but not all causes reside in Wang Ye's consciousness. He further explained that "thought" doesn't solely refer to thoughts in the mind, as all things embody thoughts and causes, which could potentially awaken the inner scenery in Wang Ye. Wang Ye concluded that if past causes could awaken present effects, then present causes might also awaken future effects. He then asked Zhou Meng if he had ever taken a train in the year of Jiashen, a question that immediately sparked interest in Zhou Meng's eyes.
Fourteen years ago, when Zhang Chu Lan was eight years old, he got into a fight with a group of troublemakers in the village to defend Xiao Yu. He fought so fiercely that smoke was coming out of his head. Zhang Xi Lin, witnessing the scene, severely scolded Zhang Chu Lan and apologized to the villagers, promising to compensate them financially. However, these people mocked Zhang Chu Lan for being fatherless, which angered him. Despite his anger, his grandfather forbade him from fighting and made him apologize meekly. Soon after, Zhang Xi Lin moved away with Zhang Chu Lan. Zhang Xi Lin reminded Zhang Chu Lan to learn to endure and advised him to use the rubber band on his wrist to snap himself when he couldn't bear it. He said that when he no longer felt pain, he would have endured it. Zhang Xi Lin had planned Zhang Chu Lan's future, which was to attend university, find a girl who loved him, and for Zhang Chu Lan's father to come find him when he grew up.
Zhang Chu Lan's clothes were cut to shreds by Feng Bao Bao. He had hidden in a tree, hoping to avoid being seen by others, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by a couple. He had no choice but to fly away shirtless. The couple took a picture of him, and soon it spread throughout the campus. There were even rumors that seeing the "Bare-chested Hero" on the night of the full moon would ensure a successful romantic relationship. Concerned about the discussions, Zhang Chu Lan quickly pulled his hand out from the bandage, fearing to be associated with the "Bare-chested Hero." However, Feng Bao Bao already knew that he was the "Bare-chested Hero" and used it as leverage to demand a meeting with Zhang Chu Lan the next day. Zhang Chu Lan was hit by a basketball from an arrogant guy, which made him very angry. He was about to explode in anger but remembered his grandfather's advice and used the rubber band to suppress his fury. Unexpectedly, the other guy asked him to pick up the ball. With a mix of endurance and unwillingness, Zhang Chu Lan threw the ball far away, but it miraculously went through the hoop as if it had a soul.
In the evening, Zhang Chu Lan was hiding alone in his dormitory, shedding tears over several consecutive days of misfortune. He recalled Zhang Xi Lin's teachings that if he persevered through the bad luck, a turning point would come. Suddenly, a beautiful junior named Liu Yan Yan, claimed to be Liu Yan Yan, approached Zhang Chu Lan and invited him to meet the next day. Zhang Chu Lan felt that his luck with love had arrived and couldn't help but feel excited. The next day, he went directly to meet Liu Yan Yan and even treated her to a meal. However, Liu Yan Yan had worms in her stomach and couldn't seem to get full, which surprised Zhang Chu Lan. After the meal, Liu Yan Yan taught Zhang Chu Lan how to skateboard, intentionally brushing her hand against his, which made Zhang Chu Lan's heart race. Before he knew it, they were already in a small alley. Liu Yan Yan took the initiative to press Zhang Chu Lan against the wall, and her hands made a move on his neck. Although Zhang Chu Lan knew that Liu Yan Yan had stolen Zhang Xi Lin's body, he was unable to resist her control and was taken back to their lair.
Feng Bao Bao and Xu San were both aware that there were infiltrators in the city recently. Unexpectedly, in addition to Liu Yan Yan, a puppeteer from Xiangxi, there were Xia He and Lv Liang, who were both sexually promiscuous. When Zhang Chu Lan woke up, he attempted to escape, but the mud-faced creatures left him with no way out, so he had no choice but to obediently return. Later, Zhang Chu Lan was also ensnared by Xia He's seductive technique. When Xia He saw Zhang Chu Lan's sealed sand, she realized that he had not released any of his Yang energy, which piqued her interest. Lv Liang quickly stepped forward and suggested that Xia He first examine Zhang Chu Lan's soul to find memories related to Zhang Xi Lin.
When Lv Liang made his move, Feng Bao Bao and Xu San arrived. While Xu San's psychic control abilities were impressive, Xia He's group had the numerical advantage and wasn't afraid of Xu San and Feng Bao Bao. They were determined to extract Zhang Chu Lan's soul. The two groups quickly engaged in a battle, and Zhang Chu Lan narrowly escaped several times with Feng Bao Bao's help. In the end, Liu Yan Yan managed to take him away in a car. Fortunately, Feng Bao Bao's knife skills were exceptional, and she split the car in two. Unable to take Zhang Chu Lan with them and ignoring the captured Liu Yan Yan, Lv Liang and Xia He escaped on a motorcycle. Feng Bao Bao discovered that Zhang Chu Lan had been cursed by worms and used her knife to remove them from his body. Zhang Chu Lan watched in disbelief as Feng Bao Bao chewed the worms to a pulp and spat them out on the ground.
