Bai Suzhen came to return the umbrella, and her heart was suddenly filled with a strange emotion. Originally, she wanted to marry Xu Xian in order to repay him, but now she felt it wasn't only for the sake of paying him back. Perhaps this kind of emotion could be called “love”. Xu Xian also felt love for the girl for the first time. He felt so nervous that he was unable to speak.

However, good times don't last long. A priest named Fa Hai discovered that a snake spirit had found its way into the human world and married a human. He refused to allow this kind of thing to happen, so he quickly went to investigate. In the end, Fa Hai discovered that this snake spirit was the same snake spirit that had stolen his pill of life hundreds of years ago. Because Bai Suzhen had stolen his pill of life, Fa Hai had to practice spiritual enlightenment for another several hundred years to obtain his current magic. Fa Hai swore an oath to take revenge against this snake spirit.
