Eddie jokingly claimed that the mysterious woman was his wife, already pregnant with his child, which astonished her. Laura burst into laughter, pointing out that the mysterious woman was still a virgin.
Eddie, pretending to be clueless, inquired how Laura knew this, to which she replied about the unique fragrance of virginity. Eddie approached the mysterious woman to verify, but she knocked him down.
Laura, playfully picking up Eddie's chin, teased him about his relationship with the mysterious woman, but Eddie awkwardly tried to explain, his heartbeat accelerating and face reddening.
Laura's teasing continued, making Eddie increasingly uncomfortable, especially with the mysterious woman watching.
The mysterious woman suddenly sneezed, commenting on the hot weather.
Eddie quickly offered his coat to her, while Laura jokingly asked if he would strip further. Eddie, ready to remove his pants, was stopped by Laura's refusal.
Laura then casually mentioned that Eddie's coat was made from dragon skin, which they had obtained together at the Sky Tower.
This revelation surprised the mysterious woman, who looked at Eddie accusingly. Eddie quickly clarified that the dragon skin was from a different adventure with Princess Cissy, not Laura, but accidentally implicated Princess Cissy in the process.
Both women realized the misunderstanding and believed that Eddie had been with Princess Cissy, leaving him in a difficult position. As they glared at him, Eddie surrendered, insisting he had no relationship with Princess Cissy and had never flirted with her. Laura, ready to unleash her power, warned Eddie to stop talking.
Eddie desperately tried to prove his innocence, asking Grey Wolf to vouch for him. Grey Wolf amusingly responded with a "meow" and nodded, which only worsened Eddie's situation. Laura and the mysterious woman mockingly praised Grey Wolf's ability to lie on Eddie's behalf.
Trying to clarify, Eddie explained he hadn't done anything inappropriate with Princess Cissy, emphasizing her intimidating and aggressive nature. Suddenly, a clear voice spoke from behind Eddie, affirming that he hadn't done anything to her, except for tearing her clothes to shreds.
Eddie turned to find Princess Cissy standing behind him, causing him to panic. Laura curiously inquired about what happened after Eddie tore her clothes. Cissy admitted that Eddie had extended his "wolf's paw" towards her. Eddie quickly defended himself, claiming he was only trying to deceive a scavenging vulture and hadn't touched her. Cissy confirmed his claim but mentioned he was about to grab something.
The mysterious woman then asked what happened after the "grab." Eddie, recalling the incident, struggled to remember clearly, unsure if he actually touched Cissy or not. Cissy ambiguously stated that enemies arrived about two hours later, leading to further misunderstandings. Laura asked what they did in those two hours, to which Eddie awkwardly replied they did nothing, finding his own statement hard to believe.
Eddie struggled to clear his name as the mysterious woman asked Princess Cissy if she felt any discomfort, suspecting that Cissy might be pregnant with Eddie's child. Cissy's response that she felt pain for several days after their encounter only added to Eddie's woes, making it sound like they had been intimate.
Eddie tried to confess that he wanted to act on his impulses but didn't dare to. Laura, acting as a stern judge, and the mysterious woman, questioning like a lawyer, didn't seem convinced by his explanation of being too timid. Cissy unhelpfully added that Eddie's bravery was just a little greater than that of the heavens.
Eddie, feeling cornered, humorously expressed regret for not taking advantage of the situation with the three women, wishing for another chance to boldly declare his intentions. The room fell silent at his audacious statement. Just when Eddie thought he was safe, the mysterious woman asked a critical question about the identity of a third woman who had fainted in front of him.
Cissy, realizing the implication, became furious, suspecting that Eddie's actions involved her sister, Sophia. Before she could react, Laura recalled a female thief shorter than Cissy but with a slim figure, pointing towards the mysterious woman. The mysterious woman revealed that the person Laura mentioned was actually a man named Inan.
Eddie, overwhelmed by the turn of events, collapsed to the ground.
Eddie, feeling cornered by the three women's suspicious gazes, frantically tried to clarify that he had no idea Inan was a woman and that their friendship was purely platonic. Just when he thought he might have a chance to clear his name, the mysterious woman unexpectedly produced a jade pendant, which she claimed to have found after defeating the Purple Gold Marquis. She handed it to Eddie and asked him to explain his "great and pure" friendship with Inan using this betrothal pendant from Baihua Valley.
Eddie was on the verge of a breakdown, wondering how the pendant ended up with the mysterious woman. He realized why his recent attempts at romance had been unsuccessful – his lucky pendant had been lost. The three women watched Eddie intently, curious to see how he would handle this new twist in the tale.
