Episode 9 recap: A Yin discovered that Hua Shu and Lan Feng Emperor were dating.
After Lan Feng Emperor left, A Yin stepped forward and confronted Hua Shu. However, Hua Shu mocked her and revealed that as a servant of Gu Jin, A Yin had developed inappropriate feelings for Gu Jin. A Yin realized that Hua Shu's intentions in getting close to Gu Jin were to obtain the Umbrella of Heaven.
Xian Shan, taking on the identity of the sect leader, prepared a marriage proposal for Gu Jin, urging him to quickly go to Hundred Bird Island and finalize the wedding arrangements with Hua Shu. Xian Shan saw through A Yin's thoughts, and although it was true, she denied it. After everyone left, A Yin realized that she shouldn't have such inappropriate thoughts about Gu Jin. To distract herself, she went to the Tianhe River to calm her mind.
Because it was the Qixi Festival, many couples had gathered by the Tianhe River. A Yin didn't want to be bothered by them, so she decided to find a secluded place. However, she accidentally stumbled upon Hua Shu and Lan Feng Emperor's date. Seeing their affectionate display, A Yin felt extremely irritated. When Lan Feng Emperor went to retrieve a gift for Hua Shu, A Yin approached and accused Hua Shu of leading a double life. But Hua Shu mocked her again, revealing her true intentions of wanting the Umbrella of Heaven by getting close to Gu Jin. A Yin decided to inform Gu Jin about this, but before she could leave, Hua Shu used her celestial magic to erase a part of A Yin's memory.
When Lan Feng Emperor returned and saw A Yin leaving in a dazed state, she seemed familiar to him. He asked Hua Shu about the woman, but Hua Shu brushed it off, claiming she was an irrelevant person. Lan Feng Emperor presented Hua Shu with a jade necklace as a gift and helped her put it on, complimenting her in the process.
After Lan Feng Emperor left, Hua Shu didn't go to meet Gu Jin as planned. Although she was initially in a good mood, she became agitated upon receiving news from Hundred Bird Island. Despite having the Umbrella of Heaven's assistance, the conflict between Hundred Bird Island and the Eagle Clan still put them at a disadvantage. Hua Shu suddenly thought of Gu Jin when considering this problem.
Gu Jin sat under a pineapple tree, staring at the flowers on the tree. He waited anxiously all night but didn't see any sign of Hua Shu. Just as he was about to leave in disappointment, Hua Shu suddenly appeared and lied to Gu Jin, claiming that she missed the appointment yesterday because she was unwell. Before Hua Shu's words could settle, A Yin approached and exposed Hua Shu's lie. However, when Hua Shu asked A Yin about her own date, A Yin couldn't remember no matter how hard she tried. Seeing Gu Jin siding with Hua Shu, A Yin, unable to believe herself, left in frustration.
Feeling upset, A Yin drank alcohol with Hong Yi. Both of them drank a bit too much. Hong Yi was about to confess his feelings to A Yin when Gu Jin used the power of their master-servant contract to pull A Yin close to him. After being pulled over, under the influence of alcohol, A Yin transformed back into her aquatic beast form and suddenly remembered that the man Hua Shu had a date with was Lan Feng Emperor. She wanted to tell Gu Jin this news but was interrupted by Hua Shu, who visited unexpectedly.
Feng Ming held a compass and arrived deep in the Daze Mountains. Just as he found the celestial vein, he was attacked by the Umbrella of Heaven's power that was bestowed upon the celestial vein. Qing Shan heard the commotion and came to investigate, only to see Xian Zhu there. Some time ago, Qing Shan and Xian Zhu went out together, but Xian Zhu accidentally dropped a book into the mortal realm and asked Qing Shan to return first while she went to retrieve the book. However, she got distracted by a woman in the mortal realm and stayed there for a while.
Qing Shan saw Xian Zhu and the two of them caught up, allowing Feng Ming to escape unharmed. After Feng Ming returned from the Daze Mountains, he met with Zhuo Ying, who healed his wounds and handed him a small black ball. Zhuo Ying instructed him to find an opportunity to place it where the celestial vein was. Feng Ming was worried about being attacked by the Umbrella of Heaven's power again, so Zhuo Ying informed him about Hua Shu's current process of refining the Umbrella of Heaven and excitedly added that it was truly a stroke of luck for them.
The Eagle Clan captured Peacock King's son, and Peacock King was at a loss. Suddenly, Hua Shu returned and brought out the refined Umbrella of Heaven, defeating the Eagle Clan. Yan Shuang couldn't bear to see her clan members being killed one by one, so she loudly declared surrender and handed over the disputed item to Hua Shu.
Upon learning of this, Xian Shan wrote a marriage proposal for Gu Jin, not wanting the Umbrella of Heaven to bring trouble to the Daze Mountains, and also to prevent Gu Jin and A Yin from developing feelings for each other. He urged Gu Jin to go to Hundred Bird Island and finalize the wedding arrangements with Hua Shu.
