Jiang Mang's charm intent instantly broke through to great accomplishment, when he completed his thirteen movements of emotions and desires. He then challenges Zhao Yin with his new technique combined with Charm dance in the form of dance. Zhao Yin was seeing a slender and pretty boy dance the story of his life, while she experienced his own experience of the seven emotions and desires, which then conjured an image of Jiang Mang inside of her heart, which she didn't notice as she was captivated by the dance and his experiences.
When the dance ended, she finally noticed the desire seed which had almost finished forming inside her heart. She crushed it on time, but she had felt the enormous desire stored in the seed. She knew that if it had finished forming and immediately integrated into her heart, she would have become infatuated with Jiang Mang and wouldn't want to miss his presence, which would make her obey his every will and word.
This feeling scared and amazed her. The experience had also enlightened her on many possible applications to her charm techniques. These applications would make her mastery over her techniques much more powerful and more versatile. She was thankful to Jiang Mang but didn't know that while she had destroyed the desire seed, JInag MAng's image had imprinted itself on her heart, which would make her unable to forget him throughout her entire life. This was an unknown aspect of the charm dance powered by the thirteen movements of emotions and desires to those who experienced the whole dance even if they were unsuccessfully charmed.
This aspect could become a mental demon, love seed, or nothing in the future, but his image would never fade away from the witnesses' heart and soul.
Zhao Yin and Jiang Mang ended profiting quite well. The siblings readied themselves to separate from Jiang Mang's group. Zhao Yin had tried to acquire Jiang Mang's unique skill, but he had to decline as he was the only person capable of learning it at the moment, and for it to become learnable would require it to be further polished. She was quite disappointed about that, but after further inquiry, she learned that he only knew three other charm techniques of which she had equivalents. After some discussion with her brother, she decided to give Jiang Mang a charm technique she had gained inside an abandoned cave dwelling. The charm technique was named demonic prince and required its user to be male and have reached great accomplishment in the charm intent.
Jiang Mang reciprocated by handing her his manual of the darkness domain technique, which suited the siblings' profound spirits. They were quite happy as they lacked a suitable defensive technique, who rarely suitable for darkness-type cultivators.
When they had separated, Jiang Mang looked through the technique demonic prince. This was a body type technique that would make the user's body more charming by approaching the perfect proportion of the male body. The practitioner was required to refine the beastly qi of a saint beast, who had awoken their ancestral heritage. The saint beast had to be alive while the user had to stay within three meters of the beast for a whole month, to refine the beastly qi for a mont interrupted. If the refinement was successful, then they would gain the charming body of a demonic prince together with the ability to conjure the beast's form through qi. Its power would be dependant upon the user's cultivation stage as the qi beast would have equivalent power.
Demonic prince was only to be cultivated in the saint realm, as it would otherwise be ineffective. The change would also be permanent and be irreversible. Jiang Mang was stunned by reading its description as his current looks were already bothering him due to the cultivation of Charm body, but he couldn't deny its usefulness in enhancing his charm techniques while he already met all the conditions due to Xiao Lu.
He eventually gritted his teeth and decided to learn it, but his behavior had caught the attention of his friends. The girls started making fun of his looks that could rival girls, while Hua Ye pestered him to quickly practice the technique as that would make the person he loved more charming.
The team of four eventually resumed their journey towards the spirit spring. The Zhao siblings were also on their way towards the mountain. They had gotten information that Huang Mo was heading in its direction, and they wanted to rob him of all his points so that they could rank first place during the recruitment test.

Jiang Mang's group of four reached the boundary of the fox king's territory after journeying for an entire day and night. They had first set up camp before starting preparing for their battle against the fox king. They had already decided that Hua Ye, Chu Lingxin, and Feng Xue would hold all the other foxes occupied, while Jiang Mang would face the fox king.
Jiang Mang also scouted their surroundings and the fox territory in preparation for tomorrow. Gu Hei helped him locate the spirit spring and the fox king's dwelling. He had also witnessed the saint beast. It was eight meters high and ten meters long. Its claws and teeth were incredibly sharp while its six tails had the destructive power if used for an attack. Its aura was also unique due to being a mix of its noble charm and the ferociousness of beasts.
When Jiang Mang returned to the group, he shared his observations, which they would use to perform their while always maintaining a retreat route. Jiang Mang had prepared two contingencies if he weren't the fox king's match. The first would be to use partial transformation, to become half a nine-tailed fox, and slay the fox king swiftly. This would be his last resort, as the nine powers were always monitoring the recruitment, and it would expose his secret bloodline. The second contingency would be to release Gu Hei, but it would be uncertain if their combination could beat it. This would be his first used contingency if the situation demanded it.
Gu Hei had agreed to work together if he needed help and even wanted him to ask her for help, as she wanted to return to the outside world.
