After Lord Ying-Yuan was cured, he was returned to lớn Yan-Xu Heavenly palace. When he awoke, he had to lớn act indifferent to lớn Yan-Dan to lớn keep her safe. Yan-Dan became upset because she thought Lord Ying-Yuan forgot his promises to lớn her to lớn recognize her when he awoke & smell the lotus blossoms in the pond in front of the cottage.
