1060-1062 NL is concerned since the scores are cumulative. They head northwest to find a sea at the end of the square and a white jade bridge leading out. LDY mentions a phrase (悠悠白玉桥,双双九重天– Drifting White Cloud Bridge, Paired Nine Layered Pagoda), while LYY states that this bridge is the 9th barrier of the Normal setting. Only 2 people can travel across at a time and once they start they can’t turn back. LYY tells SL she’s too weak to complete it and NL replies it doesn’t concern her, and lets BY and ZiY cross. LHC stops them, insisting on going, as he assumes it’s easier to get more points being first.
1063 Seeing NL nod, BY lets them pass. LHC reminds them not to start until they’re done. LYY whines to STM since the siblings have an early advantage, and is determined to prevent SL from getting the RBBG. A fog descends, and LHC and LDY are given a score of 40.
1064 LYY plans on going last and to cross when NL is still on, allowing them to die together. BY heads towards the bridge, warning STM not to regret trusting LYY since he’s the only one who can’t see her true colours. BY feels uneasy knowing LYY is crossing last, but NL commands STM to go before him since he won’t expose his back to people he can’t trust.
1065-1066 The screen arrives and starts spinning. LYY cheers for them to score 30, while NL continues flirting, telling SL discarding LYY is nothing compared to how men favour their wives over their mother (a common proverb). LYY is enraged, then shocked that BY and ZiY scored 75. STM takes LYY, only for her to complain about a pain, refusing to go, and hoping the limited time will pressure NL into going first.
