Following Liu Yichen's detainment, Wuyang Palace was put under strict lockdown. No one was allowed to enter or leave the palace without permission. Zhang Fengxi, Zhang Zhiyuan, Yang Jiali, and Zhou Guizheng worked tirelessly to track down Liu Wenyuan, but their efforts proved to be fruitless.
Yang Jiali once complained, "Is Liu Wenyuan not your average omega with no cultivation at all? How can he hide himself so flawlessly?"
She quickly went quiet when Zhang Zhiyuan reminded her that, "Liu Wenyuan borrowed the power of the First Demon King. Who knows what tricks that demon has in his sleeves?"
Meanwhile, Xie Jianyu had just completed his twenty-second weeks of pregnancy. Thanks to the miraculous effect of the sour plum soup he drank almost every day, he was finally able to keep his food down.
