Episode 28 recap: Xing Zhi and Shen Li lived in seclusion by the seaside.

Xing Zhi and Shen Li led a peaceful life by the seaside. He would fish and cook every day, taking care of her attentively. He even fed her fish with his own hands. Although Shen Li had impaired vision, her sense of smell became more acute. She could sense the mixed scent of sea breeze and seafood on Xing Zhi, which proved his genuine dedication to the life of a fisherman.

You Lan, on the other hand, worked harder to refine medicine due to Xing Zhi's injury. Her talismans always reached Xing Zhi's hands promptly. Shen Li happened to discover a large wound on Xing Zhi's shoulder, and her heart filled with guilt. She finally understood how much Xing Zhi had sacrificed for her.

In this small courtyard, they led a simple and warm life, and Shen Li's injuries quickly recovered under Xing Zhi's care. She became curious about Xing Zhi's life at sea and started waiting for him to return by the seaside.

Upon learning that Xing Zhi was fishing, the Dragon King of the East Sea first gifted him top-quality fish, and later exchanged treasures to tease him. Xing Zhi had no choice but to comply, while Shen Li chuckled and exchanged the treasures for fish. In the marketplace, the rascal Wang Bao lusted after Shen Li's beauty and provoked Xing Zhi, only to be injured in the process. Late at night, Wang Bao sought revenge with his subordinates but was fiercely attacked by the Azure Sky King of the Spirit Realm and the ancient celestial gods of the Immortal Realm.

Shen Li was oppressed by the Xuan Iron and plagued by nightmares, but Xing Zhi noticed and urgently sought out the Blood Seven Seeds and the Five-Colored Molten Fire Rock to aid her recovery. Fu Sheng sent his undercover agents to search for Shen Li based on her portrait, and Wang Bao recognized her, exposing Shen Li's whereabouts.
