Xuejian really stepped up to the plate in this episode, and seeing her take control of her own mission to retrieve the Lightning Pearl from Yun Ting was incredibly satisfying! That bedroom confrontation between them felt so raw. You could practically taste the immense guilt and emotional friction in the air before the demons surrounded everything. But man the real scene that had my heart in my throat was Longkui. The psychological torture she's enduring from that demonic box is getting so dark.
