“Ah, the cruel landlady is here!” Cheng Xiaoshi called out lazily as he played a game on his phone, sprawled across the couch in the studio front office. “This is how you greet your boss?” Qiao Ling scowled and smacked the boy’s legs, forcing him to sit upright. “Look at you! Lazing around while Lu Guang does all the work!” She snapped as she glanced over her shoulder at the white-haired boy who was going through the account book to tally the week’s business. “The studio has closed and it’s Friday,” Cheng Xiaoshi put down his phone and looked at her pointedly. “So technically, you’re not my boss right now,” he smirked as he stood up and towered over her smugly. “You!” Qiao Ling punched him in the chest before spinning around and walking to Lu Guang, ignoring the exaggerated theatrics of Cheng Xiaoshi as he clutched his chest. “Qiao Ling-jie,” Lu Guang greeted her simply, closing the thick book and putting it back in its place under the counter. “I can’t believe you’re the younger one, Guang-Guang!” Qiao Ling rolled her eyes before smiling at Lu Guang sweetly. “Pffft!” Cheng Xiaoshi cackled and joined her at the counter, leaning forward and gazing at Lu Guang cheekily. “Guang-Guang!” He cooed and reached out for the boy’s cheek with one finger. “Idiot,” Lu Guang caught Cheng Xiaoshi’s finger before it could poke his cheek, his expression still impassive and unfazed, long used to his friend slash business partner slash roommate’s antics. “Actually,” Qiao Ling ignored Cheng Xiaoshi and went on, “Shanshan had a request…maybe a potential client,” she pulled out her phone and opened the chat with her college friend. “Dong Yi and her are trying to help their grad school friends…these two guys…” she scrolled up the chat, “I forget their name…but one of them confided in Shanshan about his crush on the other guy and thinks he-”

hello loves 💌 happy happy friday!

i’m working all weekend so can commiserate with all weekend workers 😭 regardless i hope you make friday special! i’m going to just be super cosy and warm and take it easy this weekend.

last weekend was so dramatic 🫣 i’m just hoping this one will be better!!!!! i can’t believe we got a chapter kind of out of nowhere?! and we’re one week closer to the christmas instalment 😈 i swear to god if it doesn’t continue on from last year it’s over

do you think tianshan have special christmas rituals? tian seems to ignore festivals etc with his family as we see a couple of times and tries to just spend the time with mo, so i can imagine he’s super keen and excited to make his own traditions with his little shanshan❣️❣️❣️ i think tian will be so overly romantic at christmas it’s unbearable (to everyone other than mo, who tries to hate it but actually can’t)

[hulijingemperor2]

The Meng family, Team dimple (of course) and Lan xichen were in their grand living room, discussing something important.

Yao: We have reached a milestone, A-niang. 

The Meng dynasty is in control. I have repaired everything that was broken.

Meng Shi: good job, Yao'er. I know that you would make me proud. 

You established quite a strong empire.

Yao: all thanks to you. 

Now I think it's time to adopt someone.

Qin Su: really Huangdi? Who do you want to adopt? 

Mo xuanyu: but I didn't get pregnant for you yet, Yao gege.

Xichen: is it ouyang Zizhen? 

Rusong: definitely not.

He's my prospected concubine.

Qin Su: *laughing* A-song.

Su she: anyways, congratulations Huangdi. 

I hope it's not another Lan.

Jingyi: hey!! 

Su she: You're a good son for my Huangdi but I don't like the Lans.

Yao: Shanshan, don't drill him.

Su she: *bow* ok Huangdi. I'll try.

Xichen: oh come on, we aren't that bad.

Su she: *sarcastic* really, Lan lips? 

Mo xuanyu: sorry for Shanshan's saltiness. 

Xue yang: Jiggy, is it that kid you told us about.

And Shanshan is protecting him.

Yao: yes. 

He's Jin Xiaobao from Huaizhou. Xiaobao is a year younger than A-Song, and I let a peripheral Jin family adopt him for safety, while locking his hulijing power. 

Rusong: a year younger than me? Why did you let them adopt him? And what's his story. 

Yao: in A-niang's time, when they revolted against the Mengs, a few Mengs hid in exile. 

Meng Shi: Jin Xiaobao is our distant relative. As his grandmother was my cousin, Meng Lingling.

Meng Lingling died when Xiaobao was born, and his parents were killed by the pesky He sect. 

Yao: that He sect did so much atrocities towards the Mengs and Jins. 

They even tried to kill Rusong.

Hence I asked team dimple to eliminate the sect. 

Xue yang: they even dare to insult Jiggy! I sliced the sect leader's tongue!

Yao: ah. when I was informed, by one of my spies, I decided to be responsible for the child. 

I was already the Jin sect leader, but I thought it would be unsafe for him to live in the cultivation world. He deserves to live a simple life without constant targeting. 

I already had to protect you (A-Song) from it.

Meng Shi: A-Song, Yao'er went to the Jin family, which is a small part of the main Jin sect. Yet they weren't cultivators.

They were the richest family in Huaizhou and head of the Jinqi sect.

He wanted him to live comfortably.

But out of danger.

Rusong: waw. 

Meng Shi: he's your cousin, Song'er, and of Meng blood. 

He would look a lot like you. 

Yao: indeed, with the dimples too. 

Meng genes are strong. 

Now he'll be your brother.

Rusong: I'm so excited to meet him.

Jingyi: same! We'll have so much fun.

Qin Su: what happened to them now? How is their state?

Yao: they were framed for a scandal, bit it's all resolved now. 

However they lost some of their money.

I think it's time for me to adopt him, since the Mengs are reigning supreme. 

I'll give the family their wealth, and freely adopt Xiaobao.

Qin Su: he'll make a lovely addition to the family. 

Xichen: long live the Mengs. *hugs ayao from behind* Yao Huangdi has four children now.

Yao: ahaha yes. 

It's my dream to have children. 

And give them the world.

Qin Su: same. 

Yao: A-su, Minshan. We have to go to Huaizhou to collect Jin Xiaobao. 

Is Suyin back in Annan? 

Su she: no Huangdi. He's waiting for me.

Qin Su: who's Su yin?

Su she: my cousin, Huanghou. His parents were a part of the Su clan,

With the permission of Huangdi, I gave him the principality of Annan as well as  the duty to protect Xiaobao.

My lineage, sect and I are indebt to protect Huangdi and his dynasty.

Qin Su: oh. I would love to meet him.

Invite your cousin here, and let him stay for the banquet. Obviously Yao Huangdi will throw a party for Xiaobao. 

Su she: of course, of course! Will do Huanghou.

Yao: we will love to have him, Shanshan. 

And he seem so devoted and loyal like you. 

Meng Shi: so sweet.

~~~~~ 

Later that day, in Huaizhou 📍 

Xiaobao's adoptive parents explained everything about his history.

Xiaobao: so I'm a Meng?! And a fox spirit? How am I a fox? 

Jin laoye: yes. And a Meng prince too. 

The Mengs were targeted for some time 

Now they're in full control.

Jin furen: Xiaobao, I would miss you so much. 

But Meng Huangdi is going to get you today. 

Xiaobao: but I'll miss you both. And would he accept Huaien.

Jin laoye: well that's a problem. 

Xiaobao: I'm not going anywhere without him. 

*pout* 

So you're telling me that my Nainai was  taihou's cousin?

And Huangdi wants to adopt me as his son?

Jin laoye: right.

Xiaobao: ah. Well I'm glad that Meng Huangdi saved me anyways. I'm grateful.  

Jin Furen: I don't know much about the Jianghu, but all I know is that the Jin sect leader, Jin guangyao, who's Meng Huangdi, has a son. He's a year older than you. 

Xiaobao: I wonder how is he like?

Jin Furen: maybe really lovely. He's the emperor's son.

Xiaobao: mn. Huaien. I got to tell Huaien! *runs* 

Jin laoye: still immature! 

Xiaobao: HUAIENNNNN!!!! 

Huaien: what happened?? Xiaobao.

Xiaobao: *hugs* guess what?!

Huaien: what? 

Xiaobao: guess.

Huaien: you're pregnant?

Xiaobao: pfft.. no! And you're the wife remember.

I found out that I'm hulijing royalty. I'm a Meng. And Meng Huangdi is going to adopt me.

Huaien: aw, I'm so happy for you. 

Xiaobao: now I can help my family, and the poor. Also I can make you my little trophy princess. 

Huaien: that sounds amazing. 

You'll be an amazing Wangzi.

Xiaobao: better than Shao yu?

Huaien: mhm. 

And better than me too.

Xiaobao: you're so perfect. *hugs arm* I could never match up to you 

Huaien: but you're extraordinary.

*someone coughed* 

Xiaobao: *pout* Su yin! What do you want?!

Suyin: behave. Meng Huangdi is on his way.

Xiaobao: really??

Suyin: we have been friends for so long, and the chief cultivator, my cousin, gave me the job to protect you.

Now I'm happy that you're safe and ready to reunite with the Mengs.

Xiaobao: that's why you were so bossy.

Meng Huangdi did a great job protecting me. 

Suyin: uff....I'm not bossy. 

Now go get ready. And please act decent in front of Meng Huangdi.

Xiaobao: alright alright! I got it! 

I'm not a kid.

I'm a hulijing.

Suyin: *rolls eyes*

A half an hour later.

Yao, Qin Su and Minshan arrived. 

Suyin: greetings Huangdi and Huanghou. *bow*

Yao: hello, Suyin. How are you?

Suyin: I'm good for now. 

Yao: delightful. Thank you so much for your service. You protected him well.

Qin Su: we'll forever be grateful.

You helped us preserve the Mengs.

Suyin: please it's improper for Huangdi and Huanghou to thank me. I'm just doing my job. 

Yao: you'll surely be written in history. Please, Suyin, I invite you to Jing Manor. 

Suyin: I'll be  there then, thanks for the invitation. 

Su she: well done  A-Yin.

Suyin: thank you!

So how's it going, as a concubine?

Su she: *blush* it's the best 

Suyin: awwww. Shanshan is blushing.

Su she: *red* shut up. 

~~~ 

Xiaobao and family afterwards bowed and greeted them. 

Thank you gracing us, Huangdi, Huanghou and Su xiandu.

Yao: please, discard the formalities. 

Jin laoye: have a seat, Huangdi. And have some tea.

Yao: thank you. *smile* 

Jin Furen: Huangdi is so ethereal. Just as how he looks in his paintings.

Yao: don't flatter me, I'm just basic.

Jin laoye: you're so humble.

Yao: *sips* and Mr. Jin's tea is fine.

Shall we discuss.

Jin furen: yes Huangdi. Xiaobao is an adorable boy. He's a ray of sunshine. 

Jin Laoye: if he breaks any of your rules, do forgive us. He's kind of laid back and free spirited, and loves a good party. 

Yao: those all sound like great qualities. 

He'll surely get along with Rusong and Jingyi. 

And our dear little daughter, Taihua.

I don't think he will break any rules. 

Qin Su: Meng blood runs in his veins. He would never defame the Mengs. 

Yao: Xiaobao. I did everything to protect you. 

Suyin, is non other than my concubines cousin. 

Xiaobao: sorry to ask, emperor. But concubine?

Yao: yes. Su Minshan is my right hand man, and shadow. Do you have any questions? 

Xiaobao: Many. 

Yao: ask away. 

Xiaobao: why don't I have hulijing powers? I never felt like a hulijing in my life before. Did you see my Hulijing parents, and how is the Meng empire like?

Yao: you don't have your hulijing power because I locked it when I found you. But don't worry, I can unlock it.

And unfortunately I haven't seen them. But your grandma is my A-niang's cousin.

You have the Meng dimples to prove.

The Meng empire is a powerful one, made up of the fox spirit empire and the Jianghu. As well as some mortal territories. 

You'll quite love it. 

I'm thrilled to adopt you as my son, Xiaobao. 

Xiaobao: I'm also excited for my new life. But, what about my parents here? 

Yao: I'll restore their wealth. Rest assured.

Anyways, I must thank them for protecting you.

Qin Su: doesn't he resemble our Song'er? 

Yao: ah yes! He resembles him a lot. 

Qin Su: his cute little dimples.

Xiaobao: Huangdi, can my boyfriend, Huien come? You maybe think it's unorthodox. *lowers gaze* 

Yao: it's fine dear. And some emperors have their token male concubine. 

I have a whole harem of male concubines, as they have fallen in love with me and my beauty. 

However I have a wife, who's the empress. 

Besides, Hulijings need masculine energy.  

Take Huaien with you. 

Qin Su: can you tell us about him? 

He seems so majestic.

Xiaobao: as you wish. 

Zongzheng Huaien has just found out that his father is an emperor, but he decided not to be Taizi Dianxia.

He wanted to live with me instead.

Qin Su: so precious.

Yao: I'm very happy for you, dear.  

Xiaoyu (Xiaobao's adoptive sister): emperor, please don't take gege away from me.

Jin Furen: Xiaoyu. You can't order the emperor. 

This is big people matters.

Xiaoyu: but A-niang, I can't live without gege! 

Yao: A-Yu, don't cry. I won't separate you two. And do you want to be a princess? 

Xiaoyu: mhm

Yao: ok then. You and your brother will live with me. And the daughter of Huangdi is a.....

Xiaoyu: a Gongzhu!!

Yao: correct.

Jin Furen: Huangdi is so good with children.

Qin Su: yes! No wonder he's everyone's favorite Huangdi. 

Yao: well we must be on our way. I have to introduce you to everyone, and show you around. 

Xiaobao: Huangdi. One thing.

I have a servant, Zhaocai. Can he come? He's like my brother actually.

Yao: of course of course. You're a Wangzi. 

Yao: Jin family, thank you once again. Contact team dimple if you need anything, and I'll be happy to help.

Jin laoye: it's a great honour to have you at our place, Huangdi. 

Yao: pleasure.

I need another caravan for Zongzheng Huaien, xiaoyu and Zhaocai

Suyin: don't worry, Huangdi. I had arranged that already.

And Huaien can go on horseback. 

Yao: excuse me? 

Su she: Huangdi, Suyin and Huaien has an rivalry going on. 

Yao: ohhh, like you and Huan?

Su she: *blush* huangdi.

Yao: haha. 

He's my son's boyfriend. He must have comfortable transportation.

Suyin: as you wish. 

Huaien: you show me so much love, Huangdi. Thank you. I had an abusive stepdad. 

Yao: oh so unfortunate! I can relate, yet it was my biological father. 

Don't worry, I'll give you a lot of love. You, Xiaobao and xiaoyu.

Huaien: *smile* 

Xiaobao: so whatever happened to him?

Yao: I have him renting out jinlintai. 

He also lives like a prisoner and my people call him the lanling demon.

Xiaobao: good for him then! Good for the lanling demon. He sounds so horrible. 

~~~ 

Jing Manor 📍 

Everyone arrived at Jing Manor. And Xiaoyu held on to Xiaobao's hand.

Xiaobao: waw. This place is massive.

Su she and Suyin: *having their own convo*

Su she: I'll show you the team dimple mansion where you're staying. You remember team d, right?

Suyin: oh yes I do.

Zhaocai: *looking at the art and ornaments that decorated the room.

Xiaoyu: would I get lost? I never seen such a palace. Gege, would we live here?

Xiaobao: yep. 

Yao: this is just the entrance. I have arranged a mansion for you. It will be your residence. Your boyfriend, Xiaoyu, Zhaocai and about a staff of 20 people will live there. Also you would have your personal chefs.

Xiaobao: ah, I can get used to this! And I'll call it HuaiJin mansion! 

Yao: lovely name. 

Qin Su: and please feel free to call us A-niang and A-Die. 

Xiaobao: got it! 

Attendants: greetings San Dianxia.

Greetings San Dianxia.

Xiaobao: hello hello! My people, haha. 

San Dianxia, you're very adorable, like Taizi.

Your dimples are gorgeous. You're a true Meng.

Xiaobao: thank you! I would love to meet your Taizi. 

Very soon!

Huangdi has the most beautiful children, with the prettiest genes.

Greetings Huaien Wangzi. 

Huaien Wangzi is gorgeous! 

Meng tastes I guess. 

Beauty attracts beauty. 

Huaien: thanks. Um don't call me Wangzi. I'm not a Wangzi again.

But you're from the Zongzheng family.

Their blood runs through your veins.

Huaien: ah yes. You really can't run from blood, but I decide to be just Huaien. 

Aww look at Xiaoyu!

She's our er Gongzhu. 

Qin Su: yes. She may be older than Hua but since that she's adopted, she'll have to he er Gongzhu. 

Yao: I can't steal anything away from Taihua. 

Xiaobao: understood. 

Xiaoyu: it doesn't really matter. I'm just happy that gege is a Dianxia now.

Er Gongzhu is still very cute.

Yao: indeed. How old are you, dear?

Xioayu: 8! And my birthday is April 15th.

Yao: oh how lovely. I'll remember.

Taihua is now 4 (yes, I wanted to skip some years) And she was born on September 14th

Let's go to the courtroom. That's where the rest of our family is waiting.

Xiaobao: ok. I'm eager to meet them.

Yao: harem, A-Song, A-Yi, A-niang, I'm back with Xiaobao.

Jingyi: wow, he kind of resembles Rusong. 

Rusong: I kind of see it.

Let's go greet him. 

Rusong: hey, I'm Rusong. Nice to meet you!

Xiaobao: nice to meet you too! Taizi, right? 

Rusong: yup. I'm Taizi Dianxia. But just call me Rusong. Or song gege. Anything.

Xiaobao: no offense but, how aren't you stuck up? I thought Taizi Dianxias are mostly stuck up! Well except for Huaien of course.

Rusong: because I respect people, Xiaobao. You must be down to earth and friendly. 

But, Huaien? 

Xiaobao: my boyfriend.

Rusong: ohhhh. Nice to meet you, Huaien, *smiling*

[leonsrightlations]

The Earth is Online Chapter 19.1

The students hiding in the gym left from each of the four entrances.

Li Wen and Teacher Li took the two less physically fit reserve students for the sake of protecting their lives, looking for a safe place to take shelter. Tang Mo knew that Chen Shanshan had an ability. With the addition of the chubby little boy’s protection, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Tang Mo was responsible for attacking. [1]

“How is it that those stowaways didn’t make any noise by stepping on glass this time? And also didn’t trigger those traps at the entrance?”

Tang Mo lowered his voice. “Last night, they attacked twice. The second time, you noticed their whereabouts because they stepped on glass and were on guard beforehand. They definitely wouldn’t make the same mistake again this time. They must have used some other way to enter the school.”

The two of them left the gym, sticking to the wall for cover.

Tang Mo focused, carefully observing the surrounding area. The pitch black night was like a huge, silent beast, using a pair of bloodthirsty eyes to stare at every single person. There were a lot of trees in the school. As the cool wind blew past, the tree’s leaves gently swayed and their huge, dark shadows shook with a rustle. This was the only sound in the murderous night.

Tang Mo turned to the side. “Give me a nail…”

“Bang!”

Tang Mo rapidly moved to the left to get out of the way, but the swift-moving bullet still unavoidably scratched past his right arm, striking at the wall between him and the chubby little boy. The two of them looked at each other, then split up and ran.

Obviously the stowaways were hiding someplace where they could watch their positions. Before the fight, Tang Mo and the chubby little boy had devised a strategy. If they encountered the worst situation, the two of them would split up in order to deny the other side the chance to concentrate their fire power. It was now the worst situation - the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Tang Mo held the solid, wooden stick in his hand as he rushed as quickly as possible to the school building closest to the gym.

Bullets fired unceasingly behind him, nipping at his heels over and over again. Just as Tang Mo twisted around to enter the school building, he drew up short. He watched as a bullet flew in front of his eyes and struck the wall.

Tang Mo lifted his foot and strode into the school building.

But right as he entered the building, all the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end. He reflexively raised the big stick, blocking behind his head. With a loud bang, a large knife crashed together with the wooden stick in a violent collision behind Tang Mo’s head. The wooden stick was cracked by the big knife and Tang Mo stumbled forward a few steps. The other side also fell back a step.

“Your strength’s not bad…” a coarse laugh sounded along with the mocking voice, “but you’ll still die!”

The attacker didn’t say anything more, directly moving to strike. Tang Mo held up his stick to meet the blow.

The long knife and the wooden stick continuously struck against each other and came apart, the two people both moving very fast. The sound of metal clanging frequently sounded. The knife was longer than Tang Mo’s stick, and the man using the knife left bloody gashes on Tang Mo’s shoulders, waist, and elbows. Tang Mo was forced to constantly retreat as if he were at a disadvantage.

The man saw his condition and attacked even more fiercely. With a good knife like this, even if he cut indiscriminately, it was enough to threaten the other party. Even more so, he was a stowaway with great strength. Every time the big knife swung, it made a forceful sound in the air.

The big knife recklessly cut swung forward without rhythm. Tang Mo’s evasion speed got slower and slower.

At precisely this time, the man vigorously brandished the big knife, cutting striking from the side at Tang Mo’s skull. Abruptly, he saw Tang Mo, who had just been struggling to evade, bend back into a bridge. [2] The big steel knife waved past Tang Mo’s eyes. With his left hand he held himself steady and struck at the man’s knee.

The man gave a muffled hum of pain. The sound of bone breaking was very clear in the dark night.

The man staggered slightly and nearly fell to the ground, using the big knife to support his body.

Tang Mo straightened up and wiped the blood seeping from his chin. It was his first time clearly seeing his enemy.

It was a towering, powerful man with a height of at least 188 centimeters and a bare, shaved head. His whole body was covered in robust muscles and there was a navy blue tiger’s head tattooed on his left arm.

The building closest to the gym was this one. This stowaway had unexpectedly hidden here in advance for an ambush in order to kill Tang Mo while he was caught unprepared. Tang Mo didn’t dare lower his guard. Official players and stowaways both have an extremely fast recovery ability. The wounds on Tang Mo had already begun to itch, which meant that they were in the middle of scabbing over.

Taking advantage of the fact that the man’s knee was broken, Tang Mo lifted the stick without the slightest hesitation. However, he was still late by a step. The man was already capable of standing, brandishing his big knife and facing Tang Mo’s attack.

The situation once again changed. Tang Mo unceasingly took the initiative to attack while that man could only use the knife to resist. Time elapsed, and the man’s footwork grew faster and faster. It seemed the injury to his knee had already quickly returned to normal.

Tang Mo gave a furious shout and directly struck at the man’s head.

“Why keep hiding!” The man abruptly threw down the big knife and put both hands on his hips, facing Tang Mo’s wooden stick without fear. He gathered his qi in his dantian and opened both his eyes into wide circles. With all of his qi, he bellowed, “Kid, return my grandfather!”

Tang Mo only heard the word “grandfather,” not hearing it clearly, when a trace of unease bubbled up in his heart.

Tang Mo waved the wooden stick through the air, forcibly changing direction and hitting the school building’s wall. The recoil was enough to send him to the other end of the hallway to dodge. Right as he halted his attack, the burly, muscular man opened his mouth into a circle and sprayed blazing gas. In the next second, there was an immense flame.

The burly man’s hands were on his hips, his mouth spitting out flames. Both his eyes were opened wide and he looked like a glowering luohan [4] as he stared straight at Tang Mo and sprayed fire.

Tang Mo turned and ran.

The burly man’s flame was faster than he was, blocking directly in front of him and nearly scorching the hair on the front of his forehead. Tang Mo stooped to dodge a flame and it scorched the white wall, burning the dust off of it. There was a crackling sound as dust unceasingly peeled away from the wall.

Tang Mo moved his limbs to follow along the floor and evade the flame. The burly man was like a fire-breathing dragon. With the flame ignited, the temperature of the air abruptly rose. Charred black marks were burned one after another into the cement by that flame. Tang Mo’s wooden stick was no match for it and had long since been turned into a pile of ash.

As the flame disappeared, Tang Mo crouched on the ground and gasped roughly for air.

That burly man’s vitality was extremely good and he could already freely move. He picked up the knife he had thrown to the ground and howled with laughter, once again striking at Tang Mo. Tang Mo was unarmed and could only continuously dodge and withdraw.

The movement of the knife as the burly man swung it was truly rough. It was only non-stop cutting at people. However, Tang Mo hadn’t studied any wrestling [5] techniques. The two of them were purely relying on the super strong physiques of official players and stowaways to conduct the most rudimentary of struggles.

“Those who’ve seen my ability all must die!”

The big knife chopped in front of Tang Mo. He turned to avoid and then ran. The man pursued his retreating enemy.

“Bang!” Just as Tang Mo ran from the school building, a bullet struck beneath his feet.

His brow was beaded with sweat, yet his gaze remained calm and sharp, fixedly staring at the place the gunshot had come from.

The muscle-bound man pursued Tang Mo from behind as bullets burst one after another at Tang Mo’s feet. Twice, he moved his head sideways, only with difficulty dodging the fired bullets. Right as the ninth bullet was fired, Tang Mo and the muscle-bound man ran into the gym.

The burly man laughed coldly as swung his knife at Tang Mo. However, he didn’t expect that right at the moment he moved to slice, the black-haired youth who had been struggling to evade just now suddenly turned and faced him straight on.

“Shit!” A sense of crisis bubbled up in the burly man’s heart and he turned, wanting to flee. But his body speed was less than the speed of his realization and that knife had already chopped straight at Tang Mo. Then he saw the young kid simultaneously lift his right hand and swing at him.

But there wasn’t any weapon in the youth’s hand!

The burly man opened his eyes wide, not blinking once. Yet in that split second he saw a huge match appear in this person’s hand.

The big steel knife beat back the enormous match.

“Clang!”

The big knife snapped and the match head ruthlessly struck the burly man’s head. The burly man rolled to the ground, his body continuously twitching. He wasn’t completely dead, his eyes fixed on Tang Mo and the enormous match in his hand.

The burly man’s lips parted and it seemed he wanted to speak, but he couldn’t say a word.

No matter how strong his physique, when his skull was split open by Mosaic’s match, he was also unable to survive.

Tang Mo panted heavily, looking at the man who had fallen to the ground.

This person didn’t speak, but Tang Mo knew what he wanted to say.

“Why did I only use my ‘trump card’ now and why was I just now purposely pretending to be completely struggling? On the one hand, I wanted to cheat out your ability. Chen Shanshan said that your ability has a three minute cooldown. It just happens that three minutes and two seconds have now passed. On the other hand, it was to prevent you from raising your guard.” Tang Mo’s expression was ice-cold and incomparably calm words spilled from his mouth. “However, the most important thing wasn’t to kill you, but to find that person.”

The burly man’s eyes were moist with blood. His eyelids trembled and were unable to open. But after Tang Mo said these words, his body violently twitched, intensely reacting.

Right at that moment, an alarmed voice sounded from the clock tower not far from the gym: “Ah, how can you…”

“Bang!” After the sound of the gun, there was no second sound.

“Last night, that gunner only showed himself once. At other times he was always hiding in secret and coldly shooting. His melee abilities should be weak, right? During a normal attack, he will shoot once and then change his position to be safe. But when you were chasing me just now he had to provide support without delay and didn’t have time to change positions.”

Tang Mo knew that the gunner had already been taken care of. He looked again at the muscle-bound man who had fallen to the ground.

The burly man gave a full-body twitch, his body growing stiffer and stiffer. But in the end he unexpectedly hooked the corners of his lips, showing a strange and excited smile. Until his body was completely ice-cold and his heart beat had stopped, his face still wore that bizarre smile.

Tang Mo suddenly realized that something was wrong. At that moment, two voices gave a mournful cry.

“Teacher Li!”

“Teacher Li!”

Tang Mo immediately ran out of the gym.

On the sports field, there was a one-armed man wearing a sly smile. In front of him, Teacher Li had rolled onto the ground, a pitch-black and bloody cavity in his chest.

Li Wen held Teacher Li, seven or eight wounds on his body as well. He worked hard to use his hands to press down on the hole in Teacher Li’s abdomen, but there was nothing he could do to stop the bleeding. His hands quickly became wet with blood.

On the expansive sports field, dozens of towering flowers sprouted. There was no grass at all on the school’s sports field, only artificial turf, but these flowers grew in that turf. They had no blooms, only buds. They looked like ordinary roses.

The one-armed man standing in front of the roses was short and slender. His face had an ugly and terrifying scar that cut from his left eye straight to the corner of his mouth. He had no right arm and used his left hand to hold a knife. Scarlet blood flowed down the knife’s edge and dripped onto the ground. The man smiled darkly, his gaze cold as he looked at Tang Mo.

“What happened to those useless things?”

Tang Mo gripped the big match tightly, vigilantly watching the other party as he cooly said, “You’re the only one left.”

“Only I will survive.” The small man laughed strangely and used the knife to point at Teacher Li, who had fallen into a pool of blood. “He’s dead.”

Li Wen reached out to look for Teacher Li’s breath. His voice was stiff and sluggish. “Teacher Li…”

[6]

“Clang!” 

A big knife once again shattered into pieces.

A gleam flashed through the one-armed man’s eyes, his expression blazing hot as he looked at the big match in Tang Mo’s hands. “It’s actually so powerful!”

Tang Mo suddenly revolted, brandishing the match and attacking the one-armed man.

The one-armed man raised the knife to defend.

Tang Mo had already guessed that these people would attack, but they had set traps at every corner outside the school. Previously, Tang Mo had spoken with the chubby little boy - if the stowaways didn’t make noise by stepping on the glass, it was because they had guarded against it. But actually, Tang Mo had kept something in reserve.

During the daytime, he and Li Wen had rearranged the streetlight glass on the road, intentionally leaving a small, winding path that could be walked.

If the stowaways were a little bit clever and thought to avoid stepping on the glass and making noise, they would certainly walk this route. This was tantamount to exposing their location. If they were even more clever than that and saw through Tang Mo, they would avoid walking on this path on purpose. Then their whereabouts would be exposed because they stepped on the glass.

However, the worst situation had appeared. They hadn’t stepped on the glass or taken that path. As a result, as soon as they appeared, everyone was caught unprepared. Fortunately Tang Mo had prepared in advance and discussed a strategy with the chubby little boy, otherwise it was possible that their current situation would be reversed.

Tang Mo gripped the enormous match as he asked, “How did you get inside?”

They neither stepped on the glass nor took that path. How could they have entered the school without triggering any traps?

The man gave an unpleasant laugh. “Enter? Since the very beginning, we didn’t leave!”

The chubby little boy said in alarm, “No…no way! How can you have never left? Don’t tell me you were in the school the whole time?”

“This school is so large. If we hid here, how would you know?” The man’s small eyes swept over each person’s body, especially giving Chen Shanshan and Qiao Feifei, those two little girls, a few more looks. “These two days, I’ve been watching you set those useless traps. Originally I intended to attack you last night but didn’t imagine that this kid would suddenly appear. So laozi let you live for one more day.”

The villains had actually always stayed together with them. This kind of feeling made everyone’s hair stand on end.

Chen Shanshan clenched her teeth in self-blame. “It’s me who didn’t imagine, didn’t consider it thoroughly.”

Qiao Feifei grabbed her hand. “It’s not your fault. None of us imagined that this group of bastards would leave and then turn back around and come hide in our school!”

The one-armed man heard Chen Shanshan and Qiao Feifei talking, an odd light in his eyes. As he watched them, the corners of his lips hooked up.

Tang Mo’s face was steady. He moved a few steps to the side, blocking in front of the two girls.

He said. “Your comrades are all dead. You’re still not running away?”

“Why should I run? You will all now die.” The man grasped the broken knife, pointing at Tang Mo. He only had half a knife left, but he was unexpectedly not in the least bit afraid, even looking at Tang Mo as if he were looking at a dead person.

Tang Mo tightly gripped the match in his hands, the feeling of unease in his heart growing more and more intense.

He turned his head to look at those dozen flower buds at this side and loudly said, “Go destroy the flowers!”

The one-armed man coldly shouted, “Dream on!”

Tang Mo struck with the match. The man reacted extremely fast, using the broken knife to block. There was the sound of clanging metal as the broken knife was hit by the enormous match. From the point of the collision, spider web-like cracks appeared one after another on the knife’s body. With a snap, the broken knife completely shattered into fragments, unable to be used again.

“Quickly destroy the flowers!” Tang Mo roared.

Everyone rushed into the cluster of flowers. The chubby little boy used both hands to grip a rose’s stem, pulling hard. Alarmed, he said, “I can’t pull it out! This thing is even harder than steel!”

Tang Mo finally understood where that tense feeling he’d had the whole time was coming from.

The one-armed man’s physique was actually stronger than Tang Mo. He seemed small, slender, and weak, but his body was all firm muscle. Those muscles weren’t what someone who had become a stowaway could possess. Before the earth went online, this man’s physique had far surpassed a normal person’s. His reaction speed was about the same as Tang Mo’s, but his fighting techniques and his strength all surpassed Tang Mo by far. Even though he now had no weapon, under the circumstance of being unarmed, he could still evade the big match’s attacks over and over again. He was only struck by the big match once.

“Use your ability! We absolutely must destroy those flowers!”

[PREV] [TOC]

Okay, now begins my hiatus! See you in about four weeks! ^_^ This is a terrible place to do it, but I am fairly desperate. :v ...I just spent about thirty seconds looking for the inverse symbol of '^' on my keyboard it's time for a vacation.

Translation Notes:

[1] Immediate clarification is needed. Tang Mo and Zhao Ziang (the chubby little boy) are working together. Chen Shanshan is working with Qiao Feifei (the other student who is an official player). The print edition removed direct reference to this configuration without bothering to actually change it. I’m not sure why this particular change was made as it seems like it should be enough to just alter the line “Tang Mo and the chubby little boy were responsible for attacking” to something like “Tang Mo was responsible for attacking. The chubby little boy followed after him.” (Assuming that the concern is the depiction of children engaging in violence, which seems to be the case based on other alterations made.) The other changes here are just unnecessary and confusing.

[2] Like this:

[3] The lower dantian.

Ignore the Orphic Egg, this ain’t about him.

(I'm pretty sure the lower dantian is higher than that, in your navel/lower abdomen, not your butt. Also there's a middle dantian. Look, I just thought this inexplicable dantian/orphic egg mash-up was really funny. Also, it's from a blog post about Easter? Anyway.)

[4] Luohan/Arhat - Buddhists who have attained Nirvana but the reference here is probably meant to evoke images of Shaolin kung fu specifically.

[5] It translates as wrestling, but it seems to be more like MMA/boxing than the heavyweight wrestling most English speakers probably associate the word with. It’s more of a Tekken situation than a John Cena one, so to speak.

[6] Cut from here is a section where Qiao Feifei rushes at the stowaway with her knife. She is rebuffed and Tang Mo attacks to defend her.

Yao: *in fox form, posing, while one of his hulijing associates was finishing up on painting him.*

On the other hand.......

In the dimple council office 📍

Mo xuanyu: *eating a pork leg*

Xue yang: *sharpening a knife* A-Yu  I do you know the history of this knife?

Mo xuanyu: *mouth filled* it's from your knife collection.

Xue yang: yes. But I find this one sticking out of a fierce corpse's knee.

Mo xuanyu: ew!

Through the bone too?

Xue yang: obviously. It was in there good.

Mo xuanyu: oh my.

Xue gege, do you think that Lan beard does inquiry for Ruoruo?

Su she: he's on a date with Lan lips..

Xue yang: no way!!

Su she: yes way!

Mo xuanyu: Shanshan spill!

Su she: one of our Yaoyao's imperial artists wad finished painting him, then Lan lips came with a food box and asked him to have a picnic with him.

Mo xuanyu: Lan lips got some moves.

Xue yang: how dare he snatch Jiggy away from us.

Su she: *sobs* he said the word papapa!

Xue yang: lol, he traumatized you. Noooo.

Mo xuanyu: very bad of Lan lips.

Xue yang: team dimple will deal with him.

Su she: yea!

Mo xuanyu: also we have to ask him if he treated our Yaoyao well on the date. That's the first priority.

Su she: definitely.

Xue yang: Lipsy better treat him good.

Mo xuanyu and Su she: *cracking up* lipsy.

Rusong: *entering* what are you guys planning?

Su she: *respectfully* Dianxia, greetings.

Xue yang: why do you like to eavesdrop, kid!

Mo xuanyu: don't worry, Song'er. We're handling things

Rusong: lol. Tormenting Shizun again.

Su she: as we should.

Xue yang: he got to pass the dimple test!

Mo xuanyu: *cups face* little Song'er Dianxia, we must test uncle Lips ok.

Rusong: why do you keep calling him Lan lips? *laughing*

Xue yang: because he has them all over Jiggy.

Mo xuanyu: cuz he believes that he's romantic. Hence we call him Lan lips.

Su she: he wishes that he's romantic.

Lol, the name just stuck.

Rusong: I think that he's perfect for A-Die. 

Mo xuanyu: not yet.

Su she: don't 'Dianxia approve' it, Dianxia.

Xue yang: what about us, Song'er?! Aren't we perfect for him.

Rusong: always.

Mo xuanyu: good. You know sometimes we get jealous.

Rusong: lol, don't get jealous ok, team D. What if you test him like this.

One of you can flirt with him and see if he's faithful.

Xue yang: we know he is, little Dianxia. We're just the overprotective simps of Jiggy.

Su she: exactly.  

Rusong: hmmm. What if you let him cook for you!.

Trio: NO!!

Su she: do you want to kill us, Dianxia?!

Mo xuanyu: I'm getting trauma.

Xue yang: I had to get a new intestine.

Su she: stop being dramatic.

Xue yang: but it's true.

Rusong: I'll help him cook!

Mo xuanyu: that's unfair!

You can't help him.

Su she: why mini boss why?!

Rusong: fine team D, I won't help him. But can I give you another suggestion?

Mo xuanyu: tell us.

Rusong: ask Zewu Jun to do some charity work in JingJing.

Xue yang: won't that impress Jiggybun. Jiggy loves to do charity.

Mo xuanyu: he'll get more lipsy with our Yao.

But between us and Dianxia, we kinda ship them. But he must learn how to share him.

Su she: correct.

Well fine, we'll test him like that.

Mo xuanyu: and don't help him.

Rusong: promise!

~~

Meantime, with xiyao.

They were sitting on a blanket, while having some snacks together.

Xichen: *feeding Yao*

How is it?

Yao: delicious, er ge. I'm full now.

Xichen: take one more bite.

Yao: really, I'm full.

Xichen: do it for A-Huan.

Yao: ok fine. I'll have one more.

Xichen: *wipes A-Yao's mouth, while lovingly glaring at him*

Yao: now time for you to eat. *feeds*

Xichen: delectable.

Yao: did you cook these, A-Huan? Your cooking skills have improved!

Xichen: I got a little helper.

Yao: A-Song!!

Xichen: yes!

As well as the imperial chefs.

Song'er has a lot of your skills.

*caresses his wrist* reminds me of our Yunping days. 

Yao: *blusbing*

Xichen: my little emperor was so cute back then *dabs nose*. And still is.

But what about Yunping?

Yao: it belongs to the empire, and is a secret city of hulijings. Cultivators can still cultivate there but they must pay a minor tax percentage, pass without hurting or killing any hulijing, or vandalizing the buildings.

Lastly they must not question the origin and purpose of the guanyin temple.

It's my A-Song's place now.

Xichen: that's so sweet!! And I'm so happy that Song'er has own district.

But isn't your A-niang's body in a guanyin temple in Dongying?

Yao: yea. But this is our original home.

Xichen: I respect that.

Xichen:  now *holds up his hands delicately*

Yao: what, Lan  Huan.

Xichen: *caresses his face and lips. Then fondled the side of his neck*   

Yao: *kisses him on his forehead*

Xichen: *kisses him on the lips.*

Yao: *makes his tail appear*

Xichen: *lifts chin* now what does my emperor want?

Yao: *grabs his headband* you!

Xichen: *playfully* as you command.

*kisses hands, and the tip of his tail*

Yao: *blush* A-Huan.

Xichen: I'm so lucky to be intimate with the emperor.

Yao: *hugs* Lan lips, we're intimate all the time! And we're getting married soon. 

Xichen: *strokes his hair* yes we are, and that makes me lucky.. 

*kisses his floof again*  

Yao: do you love my floof?

Xichen: *lovingly answering* yes Huangdi.

Yao: *smiling elegantly*

Xichen:  it smells like flowers.

Yao: aww. You think so?

Xichen: yup. And I know that my diva would rest his tail on a pillow with flowers.

Yao: heehee, you caught me.

Xichen: where's your team dimple?

Yao: maybe gossiping about us.

Xichen: lol you're right.

Yao: love them! Especially when they tease you.

Xichdn: I'm glad that we're giving you entertainment.

Yao: yes!

Xichen: Huangdi, I have a request.

Yao: what's that, A-Huan.

Xichen: *blushing* but Huangdi I'm shy.

Yao: *tugs his sleeve* tell me nah, A-Huan.

Xichen: can you turn into a full fox....and....*cheeks turning red*

Yao: and?

Xichen: and..........lay on my lap?

I'll stroke your back.

Yao: of course you can, my adorable little A-Huan.

Soon after, A couple of hulijings passed by.

Greetings Huangdi, and honorable Zewu Jun.

Yao: *smile* hello.

Forgive us for eavesdropping on your date.

Yao: it's fine. We're all down to earth with each other, right?

Yes! Huangdi, we made a flowered crown for you.

The flowers had bloomed this morning, and you're just the cutest hulijing Huangdi.

Yao: thank you so much. *takes off hat*

There you go huangdi.

You look adorable! We take your leave.

Enjoy your date!

Yao: *smiling*

Xichen: *lovingly looking at him and blushing* 

Yao: A-Huan.

Xichen: you're really adored by your people.

Yao: yes.

Wait a minute.

*morphs into his fox form* How do I look?

Xichen: *awestruck*

*breaks into a cold sweat*

Yao: *lays on Xichen's lap*

Like this~~

Xichen: *wiping his nosebleed.*

Yao: er ge, can you feed me some more snacks. Especially that fried tofu.

It's the favored delicacy of the hulijings.

Xichen: *blushing* yes my love.

Yao: delicious!

Xichen: that's why I brought it, Yaoyao.         

Yao: aww.

Xichen: * gently brushes his fur with his fingers. * how cute you are, A-Yao.

I love you. *kisses*

Yao: I love you too, A-Huan.

Yao: *changes back to his normal form*

Xichen: now how about we stretch our legs, A-Yao.

Yao: sure.

*grabs hand* let's go.

Xichen: mn.

Yao: *opens fan, while they stroll*

Huanhuan.

Xichen: Yaoyao.

Yao: I enjoyed our little picnic

And I enjoyed your kisses.

Xichen: I would have made out with you more, if we were in a secluded place.

Yao: that's OK.

Just your smile and company is enough.

Xichen: mn. And I didn't want to misbehave with the emperor in public.

Yao: *giggle* oh A-Huan. You can never  misbehave with me.

Love me however you like.

Xichen: *holds hand* I promise to give you all my love.

@verycatbluebird

[dimpledlianfang]

Mo xuanyu: *giving A-Yao a shoulder massage*

Su she: A-Yao Huangdi. Some of my sect members had sighted a few Yao sect members moving about suspiciously. Especially within districts owned by you.

Yao: oh really? I wonder what they're up to. Keep a close eye on them.

Su she: yes. We're on it, Huangdi.

Xue yang: sect leader yao have sect members?!! I thought that the guy is the only member of his sect.

Mo xuanyu: haha. My same thought.

Su she: apparently he does.

Yao: if you see them again, capture them. I feel like they're up to no good.

Su she: sure. Because my members told me that they overheard them saying that they want to kill quote on quote, pesky fox spirits and invade the empire.

Yao: *raises brow*

Mo xuanyu: is this a challenge.

Xue yang: aren't they afraid of Jiggy. All fox spirits are protected by the empire.

Su she: no shame. And in one of A-Yao's districts too.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, I thought that you banned their sect leader from everydistrict within your empire.

They have some gull to step foot again.

Yao: yes I did ban him.

But I feel like sect leader Yao isn't behind this.

Feng: *stopping at the door* Huangdi, team dimple. Please, I need your audience.

Yao: tell me.

Feng: about 10 people from our defence team were brutally stabbed through the heart.

Yao: what?!!!

Feng: we brought them here, so that you can investigate on the case.

Yao: I'm on it.

We're suspecting the Yao Sect.

Yao and team dimple went outside to see a couple of dead hulijings on stretchers.

Yao: oh no.

Feng: they defended the empire till death.

Yao: and they'll be honoured for it of course.

Mo xuanyu: how dare that sect leader Yao.

Yao: surprisingly it isn't him.

It's someone from the Jin Sect.

The shape of the stab wound and their sword techniques are in fact a Jin technique.

Xue yang: how foolish of that person.

Mo xuanyu: is it guangshan?

Yao: does he even know about swordfighting. *rolls eyes*

Su she: he can't even control his man sword, I doubt he can control a normal one

Yao: haha, savage.

Xue yang: I know right.

Mo xuanyu: well it can't be Xuan gege because he has a strong alliance with Yao gege.

Su she: right.

Feng: Huangdi, what if it's Zixun.

Yao: hmm yes. That can be a possibility.

Mo xuanyu: Xuan gege's gardener?

Xue yang: I thought that he would have an army of garden gnomes.

Su she: what a pathetic man child. Challenging Huangdi like that.

Yao: he's already dead.

And Zixuan said that he disappeared suddenly.

Mo xuanyu: so this idiot is partnering with sect leader Yao. Or the other way around.

Yao: I don't care. They both will get a taste of my punishment.

Team D, let's go find Zixun's hideout.

Team Dimple: Sure!

Yao: generals, I want you to protect Jing Manor, A-Song and Jingjing from any attacks.

Let Song'er stay in my room to be safe.

Yes Huangdi!!

Su she: where would we find Zixun's hideout.

Mo xuanyu: would it be in Lanling?

Yao: without a doubt.

Because he's always sucking up to guangshan.

An hour after....

A Su sect member: *enters* Su Zongzhu!!!

Su she: what's up.

Zongzhu, one of our sect members have secretly tracked down Zixun's henchman. He was heading to an inn owned by Zixun in Lanling.

Su she: brilliant work!

Mo xuanyu: let's go!

Yao: you three will go in first then I'll come in after.

Su she: yea Huangdi.

Xue yang: I like your element of surprise, Jiggy.

Thereafter, they set off to Lanling in a lowkey manner.

Xue yang: Jiggy, if you slit Zixun's throat, that will be very hot of you.

Mo xuanyu: agreed.

Yao: *smile*

Su she: no time for flirting.

Xue yang: I know that you're thinking the same, Shanshan.

Mo xuanyu: to be honest, Yao gege looks gorgeous when he weilds Hensheng.

Yao: and don't forget my guqin strings guys.

Xue yang: how can we ever.

Mo xuanyu: we're guqin string fans.

Yao: yes, I'll use that to squeeze you two if you don't stop flirting in this serious situation.

Su she: told you so.

Xue yang: there are many censored things I want you to do to me, Jiggy.

Mo xuanyu: same. Y...You're a super model.

Su she: *blushing, but he wants to be obedient towards his A-Yao*

Yao: *laughing slighly* flattering, you two, flattering.

Su she: *blushes* I, I love you.

Yao: love you too.

Lanling, Zixun's hideout📍

Team dimple hid behind another building that seemed abandoned. However Zixun's Yao sect members had held large groups of fox spirits captive.

One of the yao sect allies, named Yao Zhang: *coming out from inside the hideout.* he said to start executing them!!

Understood!!!

Yao: *made an illusion of himself*

Zhang: that opponent is here!! *points sword*

Hostages: Huangdi!! Huangdi!!

Huangdi came to our rescue.

Zhang: shut up!

Huangdi!!!

Sect members: *wetting them with cold water to shut them up*

Yao: I'll kill the guy, then you three do your thing.

Team D: yea Jiggy.

Illusionary Yao: afraid to stab me?

Zhang: *swishes sword, but the illusion moved and reappeared.

Illusionary Yao: *clapping* well done. But don't miss next time.

Zhang: why aren't you dead?!!!

Illusionary Yao: duh, because you missed.

Zhang: *swishes*

Illusionary Yao: *kicks the sword out of his hands*

Zhang: how are you so fast and flexible!

Illusionary Yao: practiced!

Zhang: *tries to stab*

Illusionary Yao: *leaps and twirls in the air*

*cutting him up with his guqin strings several times.*

Zhang: get that hulijing bastard!!! Agh!

Clan members: *charging against him*

Illusionary Yao: *multiplies*

Clan members: *awestruck by the deep dimples of the Yaos.

Zhang: why are you just standing there!! Kill him.

But they're so many, boss.

Zhang: are...are you hallucinating? There's one bastard there.

Illusionary Yao: *disappears, then reappears.*

*stepping on Zhang's chest*

Zhang: D...don't hurt me....don't hurt me....Huangdi

Yao: *mashes him* keep quiet!

Zhang: *trembling*

Yao: you dare challenge me.

Xue yang: I wonder if I can borrow illusionary Jiggy. I want to challenge him.

Mo xuanyu: yea just imagine different illusionary Yao geges.

Su she: he's so talented and beautiful.

Yao: my illusionary selves are nothing but my essence.

Xue yang: you're right. You 10000 times hotter.

Yao: *raises brow, for team D to leap into action*

Su she: *engulfs the rest of Yao sect members in his mist, then slitting their throats*

Xue yang: *leaps and throws blinding powder in their eyes. Then severed their tongues*

Mo xuanyu: *frees the fox spirits with a talisman.* Run to safety ok!! Run far away from those maniacs.

Illusionary Yao: *looks down at him*.

Zhang: it...it. it was Zixun! That Jin Zixun. I'm just a part of his plan!

Illusionary Yao: ooo. You're his stooge.

*stabs* not impressed.

Yao (tm): *still staying hidden*

~~~

Zixun: what's going on out there?!

Team Dimple: *barging in*

Su she: you piece of sh*t!

Zixun: ah. Team dimple. *folds hands behind his back*

You were the ones who were causing the commotion.

I see you're wild just like your boss.

*locks door and takes a seat behind his desk*

Su she: don't you dare insult him!

Xue yang: oh don't stress, Shanshan, apparently this genius doesn't like his tongue.

Su she: or his life. Pathetic

Mo xuanyu: I thought you were Xuan gege's gardener.

Zixun: working for that wretched emperor?! I could care less! I have my own ambitions, and refuse to slave behind those two evil emperors.

Su she: xuanyu, tie him up before he flees.

Mo xuanyu: mn.

Zixun: I was always second to Zixuan! Then when that bastard son guangyao came along, I was third!! Guangyao didn't even get the appreciation, but he still became sect leader! That's not fair!!

Afterwards, Zixuan and Guangyao became emperors! And what do I get?!!

Xue yang: yea yea, we understand. Life is bad and Karma is a b*tch.

Su she: because of how you treat people! That was your biggest downfall.

You treat people like shit, so you land in shit..

Xue yang: good one.

Su she: oh don't give me a lecture, you mediocre cultivator! You're just like that fraud Lan sect leader Qiren!

And why I have to treat weak cultivators and poor people equally! That's not how the hierarchy works in the Jianghu!

Mo xuanyu: *slaps*

Zixun: I sucked up to Guangshan. Figuratively kissed his feet. But I got nothing! Nothing!

Zixuan got to be Huangdi and Yao became clan leader and Huangdi as well!

Xue yang: ew. Did you just say that you sucked guangshan's feet.

Su she: this dude has a feet fetish.

Mo xuanyu: heard the same.

Zixun: no!! Why don't you take me seriously!!

Mo xuanyu: are his toes salty?

Zixun: SHUT UP!!!!!

Su she: maybe tastes like shit. Or like Zixun's tongue because his mouth is filled with it.

Xue yang: or some type of wax.

Zixun: I told you too shut up!!

Mo xuanyu: unfortunately we don't take orders from anyone else.

Zixun: then where is your bastard emperor!! I don't see him! Is he afraid to see me!

Su she: he has no time to be afraid of a feet sucker like you.

Zixun: then why did he bring his little henchmen instead.

Mo xuanyu: he's busy being a successful Huangdi.

Zixun: that's BS. I knew that that Meng Yao was a fox spirit all along! How can a cunning fox spirit have an empire and I cannot.

Su she: maybe it was inherited.

Xue yang: but all you inherited was a candy wrapper.

Do you want one from me? You'll have two candy wrappers.

Mo xuanyu: what a fortune.

Now.

Team d: *death stare, while smirking slightly*

Su she: anything else you want to say?

Zixun: well. You can tell your Huangdi that I won't hesitate to overthrow him.

I'll take everything from him, and imprison his dear child.

Suddenly a qugin string came from behind, and choked him.

Yao: *smile*

Zixun: *coughing* Yao!

Yao: Zixun.

*pulls* why should they pass the message when I'm right here.

Zixun: *trembling* where did you come from?!!!

Team dimple: *grinning*

Yao: *ties the string around his neck, and sauntered in front of him*

since I'm here. You can tell me directly. *smile*

Zixun: *trembling* Yao you can't do anything to me!!

Yao: *sarcasm* oh. I can't?

*saunters*

Zixun: *trembling*

Yao: *glaring*

*unsheaths sword*

Zixun: *mumbling*

Xue yang: oh poor guy. Cat caught his tongue.

Su she: why are you quiet all of a sudden.

Mo xuanyu: insult him some more.

Yao: *wraps his sword around his waste again* this dude is no fun.

Mo xuanyu: *rests his hand on A-Yao's shoulder* Yao gege, I tied him up.

Yao: excellent. You're such a darling.

Xue yang: the guy says that he sucks guangshan's feet.

Yao: eww!!! *opens fan* but it's true.

Zixun, you shouldn't traumatize team dimple.

Su she: yea!

Mo xuanyu: that's Xichen and Huaisang's job!

Yao: here's some candy, Chengmei.

Xue yang: *grabs it and caresses A-Yao's face* thank you, my gorgeous boss.

Su she: Huangdi, he called me a mediocre cultivator and fraud.

Yao: oh my. Zixun *grabs him behind his head* that isn't nice.

Zixun: you're so passive aggressive! You always speak calmly but your words are still sharp.

Yao: well it took you some time to realise!

Zixun: I don't care! I'll kill all four of you!!

Yao: *slashes his arm* not if I do first.

Zixun: *coughs up blood*

You....sneaky....hulijing.....

Xue yang: why don't you stab him.

Yao: because I want to imprison the guy.

Let him suffer in jail.

Mo xuanyu; are you going yo tell Xuan gege?

Yao: of course! But after his and Yanli's function.

Zixun: what are they having?!

Yao: Minshan, tell him. *opens fan*

Su she: Li Huanghou is pregnant again, so they're having a ptrivate family function to congratulate them.

Zixun: I should go!

Mo xuanyu: does Xuan gege even want to see you.

Yao: sadly you'll be in prison. But I'll pull some strings ok.

Xue yang: guqin strings? Hehe.

Yao; exactly.

Feng and others: *entering*

Yao: he's right there. Capture him.

Feng: understood Huangdi.

Ever Night, Commento A Caso

Lo so, sono in un ritardo pazzesco nel fare questo commento, ho ormai passato la metà stagione e non ho ancora scritto uno straccio di commento riguardo questa serie, ma ero troppo impegnata a suicidarmi i neuroni con i commenti di The Untamed, problemi??

Ora che ho finito, posso finalmente scrivere questo benedetto commento che, ve lo dico, sarà un commento fatto completamente a caso (come se gli altri avessero una logica).

Dunque, Ever Night mi sta piacendo molto. Mi piace il fatto che sia un incrocio tra Game of thrones, The Untamed, The Legend. È un bel mix tra fantasy e gioco del trono, gioco del trono che però si è completamente arenato da quindici puntate a questa parte.

IO VOGLIO GLI INTRIGHI.

VOGLIO TRADIMENTI.

VOGLIO GENTE AVVELENATA.

VOGLIO SANGUE.

VOGLIO COMPLOTTI.

Sarò sincera: sono molto stupita che arrivata all'episodio 37 l'imperatore SIA ANCORA VIVO. Se questa serie fosse stata GoT sarebbe morto nel giro di sei episodi.

La parte politica è completamente ferma. È ormai da troppo tempo che stanno dando più spazio alla parte magica.

Per non parlare di quei personaggi di cui non si sa assolutamente nulla da secoli. Il fratello dell'imperatore, il principe dello Yan, il boss della banda... dove diavolo sono? Cosa stanno facendo? Io capisco che bisogna seguire le vicende del protagonista, ma se non mi fai vedere i personaggi in scena per 10/15 episodi, io poi mi scordo della loro esistenza.

Parlando di politica, mi piaceva all'inizio la principessa. Altezzosa, intelligente, attiva, ambiziosa, pensavo mi avrebbe dato grandi soddisfazioni sul gioco del trono, invece non so più quanti episodi sono che non fa altro che chiacchierare con Sang Sang o con altra gente, oppure curare le ferite del fratello.

Se la principessa mi sta deludendo, mi piace invece l'imperatrice. Quello che mi piace di più è che qui non abbiamo il classico e banalissimo rapporto matrigna cattiva/Cenerentola della situazione. Qui l'imperatrice è buona, ci tiene alla ragazza, la considera la sua famiglia, e non ha alcuna intenzione di farle del male. Anzi, è quasi il contrario. Bello anche il conflitto dell'imperatrice, combattuta tra suo marito e il regno, e il suo popolo.

Il Terzo Principe mi fa morire dalle risate perché è un vero caso umano. Viziato, dispettoso, cattivo, arrogante, prepotente, questo ragazzo non è stato educato come si deve (imperatore e principessa, parlo con voi), ed è davvero senza speranze.

La parte fantasy è più copiosa.

(Sì, sto scrivendo a caso)

Dunque, abbiamo l'Accademia Tang capitanata da Fu Zi che si fa aiutare da vari maestri. Fu Zi è impegnato in un tour intorno al mondo ormai da mesi, mentre i maestri sono tutti pazzi. Uno che passa tutto il giorno su un'altalena secondo voi è normale?

Battute a parte, mi piacciono molto, sono simpatici, saggi e intelligenti, e sopratutto mi è il modo in cui hanno accolto il loro nuovo "fratellino" tra loro.

Poi abbiamo Xiling, e su questo dirò solo una cosa: DEVE BRUCIARE.

TUTTA XILING DEVE BRUCIARE.

E TUTTI I SACERDOTI DELLA "LUCE" (ma quale Luce??!!?)

E SOPRATTUTTO QUELLA VECCHIA STREGA DI CUI NON HO IMPARATO IL NOME MA STICAZZI PERCHÉ TANTO DEVE MORIRE PRESTO.

Xiling per me rappresenta i cultori di The Untamed. Sono un branco di pecore ipocrite.

Ora parlo dei personaggi.

Il protagonista.

Mi piace e non mi piace. È un bel personaggio, particolare nel suo essere una "pippa" che deve imparare a coltivarsi invece che partire dall'essere già un genio assoluto. Non lo trovo un personaggio particolarmente interessante, ma è simpatico, sbruffone, sfacciato, schietto, diretto, e mi strappa sempre vari sorrisi.

La cosa che mi fa storcere il naso è la recitazione. L'attore non fa cagare, ho visto di peggio. E ci sono momenti in cui mi piace, ma quando c'è da tirare fuori l'emotività la sua faccia sembra una papera di gomma. Non ce la può fare.

Sang Sang.

La amo. Ho imparato il suo nome già nel primo episodio (cosa rara per me) da quanto mi è rimasta impressa.

Simpatica, adorabile, pratica, sveglia, furba, e soprattutto arraffa soldi, e io LA ADORO.

Sono contenta che stia avendo una sua storyline separata dal protagonista, perché cominciava a diventare ripetitivo vederla sempre al suo fianco a fargli da mangiare.

Carinissimo il rapporto che si è venuto a creare con il Maestro, colui che è alla ricerca del Figlio degli Inferi... cioè lei.

Ebbene sì, perché @dilebe06 lo ha intuito fin dai primi episodi che Sang Sang è il nuovo Re Della Notte 2.0.

Prevedo tragedie.

He Mingchi

Lui mi piace assai. È un po' il Baelish della situazione. Un personaggio che trama nell'ombra e che osserva in silenzio. Se scarseggia di coltivazione spirituale, va però forte sulla scaltrezza. Peccato che il gioco del trono sia, come ho detto, momentaneamente fermo. Ma mi aspetto ancora qualcosa da lui. Ti prego non mi deludere!

E comunque il precettore che lo tratta a pesci in faccia ce l'ho ancora legato al dito.

Mo ShanShan

Credo sia il mio personaggio preferito. Credevo fosse una tizia tutta sognatrice e delicata, e invece negli ultimi episodi mi ha sorpreso assai.

(Ehm ehm... la ship partita super cliché anche no...)

Ma devo ammettere che lei e Ninq Que sono molto carini. E il loro rapporto è costruito e fatto bene, non troppo sdolcinato, ma anche con alcune discussioni interessanti.

ShanShan è gentile, educata, determinata, coraggiosa, combattiva, onesta, leale, spontanea, genuina.

Mi piace l'apertura mentale che sta sviluppando grazie alla compagnia del protagonista. È una buona evoluzione.

La sto amando veramente tanto.

Long Qing.

IL MIO VERO AMORE.

Mi basta guardarlo per amarlo.

Altezzoso, arrogante, freddo, distaccato, rigido di mentalità, orgoglioso, ambizioso, ma ha anche dei difetti.

Il suo problema è questo: ci crede troppo.

Non gli è bastato fallire all'esame dell'Accademia Tang, non gli è bastato essere battuto da un mediocre coltivatore. Non ha affatto messo in discussione se stesso, le sue capacità o i suoi ideali. È rimasto ancorato alla convinzione di essere il Figlio della Luce, il principe perfetto di Xiling, una creatura mistica e straordinaria che guarda gli altri come se fossero dei poveri pezzenti.

POVERO AMORE MIO CHE HA PERSO I SUOI PUNTI SPIRITUALI.

La sua vita è finita, non ha più senso, è un completo fallimento. Mi chiedo come farà d'ora in avanti.

E mi chiedo che faccia farà la Maniaca dei Fiori, tanto orgogliosa del suo perfetto principe, quando lo verrà a sapere. Sono curiosa di vedere se continuerà ad amarlo.

Lo so, non ho scritto un commento molto lungo, ho solo buttato giù qualche concetto giusto per farmi il punto della situazione. Ho anche notato che la prima metà della serie è servita come conoscenza e preparazione a quello che sto vedendo adesso. Abbiamo conosciuto i personaggi e il protagonista ha iniziato a coltivare, ma questo si poteva fare in 15/20 episodi. Solo adesso stiamo entrando nel vivo della storia. Solo adesso trovo la storia davvero eccitante.

E poi, dato il grande quantitativo di personaggi, ho impiegato oltre trenta episodi per trovare il mio preferito. Non mi era mai successa una cosa così.

E infine...

Sono la coppietta dei fiori, sdolcinati, perdono miele da tutte le parti, ma la scena della proposta, a me continua a piacere.

Il Principe di Xiling, in fondo, ha stile.
