### Summary
The current chapter introduces a significant external conflict as mystical tigers, or "Mountain Kings," diagnose that Taehyuk Yoo's presence is the direct cause of the dragon Hyo-un's worsening illness. This claim is overwhelmingly rejected by readers, who cite established events—specifically Hyo-un becoming "dreadfully sick" during a previous ten-day separation—as proof that his health declines due to Taehyuk's absence, not his proximity. The reader consensus is that the illness is rooted in Hyo-un's mental state and separation anxiety, a subconscious acknowledgment of Taehyuk as his true mate that contradicts his conscious denial. This dramatic irony is amplified by the chapter's intensely graphic and creatively depicted sexual content, which readers praise for its artistic skill and note as the primary source of Hyo-un's physical relief, directly refuting the tigers' warning. While speculation about other potential mates, such as Taehyuk's suspicious brother, persists, the dominant sentiment is frustration with this new plot device, which threatens to create a misunderstanding and separate the couple. The chapter thus deepens the central paradox: as Hyo-un's physical dependency on Taehyuk's intimate care becomes undeniable, an external force introduces a flawed diagnosis that could tear them apart.
