[kattythingz]

Time to expose myself as a dragon girl. Edling httyd/rtte au be upon ye!!! Happy new year!!!

This art is pretty representative of my growth as an artist this year, given I officially started my art journey January 2024! It's insanely wild how much I've grown and improved since then; comparing this version to my very first doodles for au is uh... very illuminating, to say the least.

Close-ups and au lore under the cut as always, and thank you to everyone who's supported me the past year! <3

Starting off with our main cast and their dragons! We've got:

Ling -> Lan Fan (albino night fury) ♀️

Ed -> Sunbane (deadly nadder) ♀️

Al -> Socks (prickleboggle) ♂️

Winry -> Sledge (egg biter) ♂️

Paninya -> Rumble & Tumble (hideous zippleback) ♂️

Russell -> Victoria (devilish dervin) ♀️

Most of the gang are from the diverse village of Xing, but the Resembool trio are sanctuary-seekers after a violent dragon raid destroyed Resembool when they were kids and the Rockbells and Trisha died in the aftermath. Winry still had Granny to raise her in their new home of Xing, but Ed & Al, alone, were adopted by the Curtises. They regard Izumi as their mother over the years and eventually take on her family name at 16 (hyphenated. Elric-Curtis) and get her creed tattooed at 18.

Ling is technically the heir to Xing's Chiefdom, but he has no actual interest in the position, not like Mei does. She might be his younger half-sister but she's more commonly regarded as the "heir". This allows Ling the freedom to fuck off to the Edge without consequences lmao.

(He doesn't lose a leg in this au so much as he gets horribly scarred by the fire on his arms; Lan Fan still loses a tailfin. Ed loses his leg protecting Al from a wild dragon as kids.)

Now, as for the dragon hunters... those are obv the homunculi.

Envy serves as early stage Dagur; Greed is INTRODUCED as Ryker, kidnapping Sunbane from Ed and everything (great first impression there), but later becomes post-redemption Dagur thanks to proving his trustworthiness to Ed in "Enemy of my Enemy"; Lust serves as Heather, Greed's sister and Ed's close friend; and Bradley is Viggo, matching Ling's wits in an eerie parallel that steadily tests Ling's temperance.

(Greed and Lust relatively match the gang's ages. Lust was 19 when she met the 16 y/o gang; she never made any advances like Heather, but she was still sus enough that Ed disliked her at first. Envy's—the same age as the gang probably, tbh, given their whole asshole energy. Bradley's still old tho. Ha.)

Team Mustang come in as the Defenders of the Wing, the Riders' first allies, and the Wing Maidens... are the Wing Maidens. Honestly, they're exactly the same but Rose and Noah are part of them lmao. Ed particularly takes a liking to them, because they serve as his genderqueer awakening! He realizes during "Snotlout's Angels", while posing as a woman to save Russell's ass from becoming sacred soup, that he doesn't mind being perceived as a woman and being called she/her. He still personally perceives himself as a man and as he/him, but if his friends want to use she/her? Call him a woman? Call a friendly "have fun, ladies!" at his, Rose, and Noah's collective backs? He doesn't mind at all.

Russell is weird about it at first but mostly out of ignorance. For all his jackassery, he is still a friend and does his (awkward) best to understand Ed's deal. He's also def dealing with unrequited feelings for Ed.

(Mustang is also weird about this, but that's just because he's old and very very confused with the youth. The rest of the team sans Hawkeye is quite fond of calling Ed "little lady" [akin to their canon "boss"] in light of his new gender expression though, and Ed is actually pretty pleased by the nickname. A rare instance where a "short" synonym doesn't irk him.)

Despite his status as a Rider, Ed's actually still pretty distrustful of wild dragons; they did still cause the loss of his leg as a kid. Nevertheless, he's always the first to support Ling in his crazy dragon training endeavors. He carries Izumi's spear as his favored weapon, handed down to him as a gift for dragon killing training initially. He also used to carry a basic but beloved knife that he sadly loses during an episode. Ling makes up for this loss by making his betrothal gift a knife, knowing Ed would prefer a practical gift in the first place.

He forges it himself, as Fu's old apprentice and now a capable blacksmith of his own. He was always capable, technically, but he was also pretty often distracted by his big fat crush on Ed when they were kids, so... he's got a few accidents on public record. This laughably leads to Ed randomly being banned from the forge sometimes just so Ling can focus on his work. Context that is not given to Ed until years later when he and Ed are courting.

And, speaking of courting! Ed used to wear Trisha's kransen as a kid, uncaring that it was "for girls" (insert transfemme egg meme) and that he was judged for it. It was his mothers so he was gonna wear it, damn it. Ling was one of the rare few to never judge Ed for this. When Ed loses his kransen to Envy or sth in a Riders of Berk episode, Ling secretly goes through hell to get it back for him. When he hands it back to Ed, he asks no explanation as to why Ed "cares so much about a girl's accessory" (*cough* Russell *cough*), and simply says, if it's important to Ed then that's all he needs to know.

Ling, oblivious mf that he is, is shocked when he earns a spontaneous hug for this trouble.

Ed later takes to wearing the kransen just around his wrist. He says it's because he's much more confident in his place in Xing now, but he never mentions that it's partially cuz... he feels whatever he has with Ling doesn't really count as "unmarried" anymore.

But Ling doesn't need to know that for a long, long time.

Ed and Russell are basically a one-to-one of Astrid and Snotlout, only Russell is a little less of a dickhead than Riders of Berk Snotlout; he puts his foot in his mouth cuz he's a dumb teenager with a dumb unrequited crush. He and Ed generally refer to each other by last name (friendly rivalry and all), but they've been known to use first names in genuine moments. Russell also notably asks if Ed would like to be called by "Curtis" after he takes on Izumi's name, at which Ed shakes his head and says it's fine to keep things as they are between them.

They've come a long way since their relationship in "Fright of Passage", when Russell, like Snotlout, initially took free jabs at Ed's family name because everyone knows the story of when Izumi Curtis froze against the Flightmare. Izumi's long gotten over those rumors, but Ed was determined to regain her honor and predictably lost his temper with Russell at that comment. That was largely their relationship before Russell got his shit together.

Ed and Al are often confused for twins by the hunters, and they're close as ever on the daily. However, their biggest fight happens when they discover that Hohenheim made the Dragon Eye. Ed and Al have two different reactions at this news: Al is astounded that Hoho was a hunter and is disappointed at the fact... and Ed couldn't care less. Ex-hunter or not, the guy is still a deadbeat.

Al is of a much more forgiving opinion of Hoho, having been two years younger than Ed and thus remembering less of the man who abandoned them and their mother.

They get into an argument over this. The entire gang is stunned.

The fight is bad enough that, in "A Ruff Transition", when a baby razorwhip (Moonshade!! <3) takes a liking to Ed on Wing Maiden Island and he has to train her for a bit, the gang actually wonders if Ed will abandon them for the Maidens. Since he seemed to have so much fun with Rose, Noah, and the rest, nothing like his previous anger and stress after his and Al's fight.

Ling is the only one who doesn't think this, reassuring them calmly that Ed just needs time to cool down and have fun. And he's proven correct! Ed's hurt to discover the gang had doubted him so easily, but Ling hadn't, and the aftermath of that episode leaves things between Ed and co. (sans Ling) a little strained until Al can apologize.

(Moonshade later tracks down Ed in a separate future episode, and she becomes a resident of the Edge, much to the male Riders' initial misfortune lmao.)

Aaaaand that's where my notes weirdly end. I've got a ton more "episode" ideas but that's all the coherent stuff. Bless you if you read this far. As a treat, have a useless fun fact: Ed's dragon names are all based on poisons. Sunbane -> henbane, and Moonshade -> nightshade. Winry's dragon name is an obv pun about sledgehammers, Al's name is a repurposed cat one, yes the gang makes fun of him for this, and Russell just likes classic names and Victoria is a classy name for a classy lady, Elric, can it.

Ling just made the obv canon cold rice pun lmao.

[caesarinsalata]

So, this is gonna be a bit of a read, but I thought of a little AU idea and I kind of wrote a mock Prologue for it???

(yes I drew little doodles for it. End me lol)

Since it's set back in time when Xerxes was still a bustling empire, I figured Amestris would be in the 15th century of sorts. (Yes I know Amestris wasn't even made yet, but in this Medieval/Xerxes AU it is!)

Cause I looked into it and figured out Xerxes fell around 1480 or so?? So we're going with medieval Amestris.

It starts out with the trio being young (like 6 and 5 years of age) just so you have an idea.

So if y'all wouldn't mind taking a moment to read this little (3000?) Word excerpt I created out of my ass today, that would be awesome! Not promising it's in character or good 🤣👌🏽

TITLE: Achaemenid

PROLOGUE

Xerxes, a stand alone empire betwixt Xing and Amestris. No one dared challenge or overthrow this stretch of desert as a result of its King. He was ruthless and heartless at times. Yet Communicable and selfless at others. Alongside his majesty stilling the hearts of his enemies, no one particularly wanted such a vast wasteland. Nor could they grasp why an empire rose within the center of it.

The air surrounding Xerxes, upon approaching, was different somehow. No one could place it. All who came to the border of Xerxian territory felt as though something had passed through them or vice versa. The conspicuous distinction in the clearity of the desert sky on the other side of this “border” felt unnerving yet reassuring. At least the air looked sand free the closer the caravan trudged to their destination. The only effective means of travel in the desert was by camel back. Any other means was surely suicide.

“Are thee thirsty?”

The traveling company consisted of four camels, but five riders. Three were knights, bequeathed the honour of smuggling the remaining Rockbell family line from further extinction. They had been labeled traitors in their home country, Amestris. Despite being but a lowly old hag and orphaned child, the Queen wanted blood for crimes they had not committed. Someone on the inside, took action and fabricated the plan to get them to safety before the Queen decreed their sentence.

“Drink, before thy self run dry.”

The knight’s clothed arm held steady in front of Pinako Rockbell. She huffed a thank you, her aggravation more towards the scorching heat than him. After taking a drink herself, she gave the rest to Winry Rockbell, who sat in her lap.

“Drink child.”

Winry took the flask in her tiny hands, touching it to her lips and tilted it back. Finishing with a gasp of air, she felt much better. But a refreshing drink of water did nothing to wash away the fact that her parents were dead and are perceived to be traitors. She knew, without a doubt, that they were most certainly not. She wanted to cry again, but recalled granny telling her to conserve her fluids. This journey had been longer than she anticipated.

Finally coming across life of some kind, the caravan ventured across a bridge stretching over an irrigation system that seemed to go for miles in opposite directions. There were people actively digging the system down below. Hearing hooves shuffle across the stone, a handful of them turned to look up.

Winry ducked her head to escape their gaze, but soon was in awe of their odd features. Each and every one of them had gold hair that varied in shades. But what really caught her attention were the array of amber gold eyes staring her way. They varied in intensity as well, but each was piercing in their own right. She couldn't look away. After staring a moment, the people began to wave an arm in greeting in unison, smiles on their faces. They were oddly friendly to strangers. The people down below disappeared over the hump of the bridge once they crossed it and made it back to land, moreso sand.

The knight's accompanying them steered their herd towards a stable like building meant for housing the camels of travelers for their later departure. Except, they weren't leaving anytime soon, Winry thought. The knight's would leave them behind to burn under the hot sun. Although, now that they were in town, the sun didn't seem that bad anymore, but it still weighed on them.

Given Granny’s and Winry's size, the knights had to help them down off of the towering camels safely. Granny didn't like a grown man touching her, but she figured it would be best not to complain. They did all this for them. She took Winry's hand since she didn't feel safe in a foreign land whatsoever.

“Stay by my side, Winry.”

Winry noded and hid behind her as they walked down the center of the shopping district. A perfect place to attract travelers for money. Everyone they passed seemed to be happy to see them or at least friendly. Some would talk to each other and watch them pass. Granny didn't like being on display like this, she squeezed Winry's hand.

It felt like ages, but they finally walked to the center of the empire and scaled the thousands of stairs it took to get to the throne room. Winry wanted to slap this King or whatever. No one would want to come here and climb a mountain of stairs just for a King.

Once they basked in the vast throne room, the knights turned to Granny.

“Ma’am, the lass need not pay the King audience. Only thee must accompany us.” The knight speaking bowed, but Granny didn't like this idea.

“I'm not leaving her alone. She comes with me.”

“Ma’am…the King wouldn't-”

He was cut off by a tall young man, sporting a blonde beard and hair pulled back in a ponytail. “If I may?”

Pinako looked over and up to glare at whoever else wanted to take Winry from her. “Who are you? I'm not leaving her.”

The man put up his hands in surrender. He didn't take being yelled at very well. “I mean no harm, ma’am. Id like to suggest taking your…..granddaughter for the time being. I have two boys of my own she could distract herself with. I'm sure your conversation with the King will be short and sweet.”

“Like hell you think im-”

“Please please. I promise no harm will come to her. The King doesn't like children in his throne room. She would just upset him. Me on the other hand, I love them. She'll be safe with me.” He gave a pause and looked Pinako in the eyes, putting his hands together in a prayer form. “I promise.”

Pinako didn't care how many times he repeated himself, she didn't like this at all. Leaving her only granddaughter with a random stranger did not sit well with her.

The knight cut in this time. “Make haste, the King doesnt take nicely to waiting.”

“Alright alright. Fine. Get off my back will ya!” Pinako grumbled, turning to Winry. She grabbed both of Winry's hands this time and squeezed. “Winry. I don't want to do this, but you're going to be spending some time with that man there. I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?”

Winry nods. “Okay, Granny.” She looked to the blonde man smiling down at her. He wasn't unnerving or creepy. He looked really sweet and nice. He held his hand out and looked from Winry to Pinako.

“I will take good care of her for you. She'll have fun with my boys, I know it. Come come.”

Winry slowly took his hand and let go of Pinako’s. Neither looking like they wanted to go anywhere. Winry watched Granny go through the big double doors and disappear. She'd be lying if she wasn't worried now.

“Oh where are my manners,” the man smiled down at her while walking her down a corridor. “My name is Von Hohenhiem. What’s-”

“Winry.”

Her sudden response gave him pause, but Hohenhiem smiled anyway. “I know this is stressful and scary, but I promise you'll be just fine. There's nothing to fear now. Through here.”

He guided her through an archway, pushing aside fabric in the way to reveal what looked to be a library with an open floor in the center.

“Boys! We have company.”

No response. He smiles nervously down at Winry. Clearing his throat he tried again.

“Edward! Alphonse!”

He was complimented by a grumble and shuffling of books falling over.

“I'm coming! I'm coming! I was just getting to a good part!”

A moment later, a boy appeared from around a bookshelf, not looking happy to be disturbed. He wore robes like his father with red trim. His hair short in the back, but long in the front, most of it covering the sides of his face. He blinked, seeming disturbed by Winry, obviously not expecting someone else. Turning to look back he sighed.

“Come on Al.”

Another boy poked his head out, hiding behind his brother. Much more shy than the first one. He also wore a robe like his brother, but with blue trim.

As they stepped closer to her, Winry got a closer look at their golden features. She could make out more detail compared to the people under the bridge. These two boys sported the most brilliant golden eyes out of all the eyes she's seen on the way in here. She couldn't help but stare.

“Winry. These are my boys. The one with the sour expression is Edward. The one hiding is Alphonse. Now, I have some work to do for the King. Play nice boys. Don't make her cry.” Hohenhiem looks from Al to Ed. “Edward.”

The boy named Edward had obviously taken offense to this.

“Wha- I haven't done anything yet!” Crossing his arms he looks at Winry, but it looks more like a glare.

“Be nice, I'll let you know when your granny is ready for you, Winry dear.”

Winry nods, watching him leave as the fabric falls back in the doorway, she turns back to Ed and Al.

Collectively, they all stare at each other. Winry couldn't help but notice Al still hiding behind his brother.

“Umm….” Winry started, but Ed cut her off.

“Sooo, Winry huh? What do you wanna do then? All we have are books and some toys. Not much though. We're just slaves after all…” Ed huffs, lowering his arms and resting them on his hips.

“Slaves?” Winry looked worried.

“Yeah, slaves.” He tilted it head at her, his golden hair falling in his face a bit. “Don't you have those where you're from?”

“But you all look the same…”

Edward cocked an eyebrow. “What does that have to do with it? Only the alchemists live well here.” He shrugged but put on a proud smile and pointed at himself with his thumb, puffing his chest out. “Soon we'll be skilled alchemists and surpass those losers!”

Al spoke up for the first time from behind Ed, pushing down on his left shoulder. “Brother-” He hissed at him. “Don't say that out loud, they might hear you….”

“Whatever, Al, it won't matter when we're out of here!” Ed absolutely beamed at his brother.

“Al…chemists?” Winry blinked, completely dumbfounded. “What in the world is that?”

Ed and Al turned their heads and looked at her in unison. Almost in sync. “You don't know what Alchemy is?” They even spoke in unison too.

Winry shook her head, her hair swishing in her face.

Ed looked at Al and Al looked at Ed. They smiled and looked back to Winry. They bursted with energy at her and grabbed both her hands, she almost ran out of the room.

“Come on!”

“We’ll show you!”

Yanking her into the room’s center, there was a carpet lain out for play. They let go of her and ran in random directions, searching through books and scrolls. Winry opted to stand on the very edge of the carpet, deciding to keep her distance. Both boys looked like they wanted to show her a new strange rock they found in the forest or something of the like.

Edward emerged first carrying a scroll and chalk sticks. Alphonse had bottles and jars of unknown substances. Winry was more curious now. If they were this interested in something like this, whatever it was, it must be cool.

Ed rolled up the carpet aggressively and chucked it aside. Holding open a scroll, he read off of it and began drawing lines on the stone floor. Winry was confused now. Was this Alchemy? Drawing on the floors in chalk?

As Ed finished, it was clear to Winry that it was a giant circle with triangles and writing she couldn't understand.

“What-?”

Edward tisked. “Not done yet.”

Winry shut her mouth.

Al gave him a few jars of….stuff and they both opened them and poured out the contents in the center.

“Now the material.”

“Ready?”

They got down to their knees and smiled at each other at opposite sides of the circle.

“Ready.”

A few moments went by, nothing. Winey was about to say something again when the chalk started to glow. She couldnt believe her eyes, her mouth fell open. What felt like wind was circling around the outer circle. Lights and sparks erupted from the center and triangles. The light was everywhere. The boys didn't seem bothered by this at all, they were smiling down at the pile of material they offered to the center and waited.

As the light show continued, the pile started moving. Winry's eyes grew wider. It started taking the shape of a….doll head.

That's when it got terrifying.

The doll head wiggled it's way out of the pile along with a body attached. As it formed the facial features, it looks like something out of a nightmare.

Winry started to whine. But the boys didn't stop until they heard her wail.

They whipped their heads around with worry plastered on their faces. Winry was slouched on the ground crying and rubbing her eyes. Trying to get rid of the sight that bore into her eyes. She heard their footsteps and felt their hands on her arms. Trying to get her to stop crying.

“Winry! Winry! It's okay!” Alphonse was pleading with her, holding her forearm and touching her shoulder. Edward didn't know what to do. He's only ever consoled a crying Al, but that's different than a girl crying. He just hovered and looked ashamed and lost.

When the boys got her to a hiccup, she finally took her head out of her hands and looked at them in front of her. The worry was very real on their faces. They bowed their heads and slumped.

“We're sorry…”

“We didn't know it would scare you…”

Winry hiccupped, but looked over Ed's shoulder to see a fully formed, not scary, doll sitting at the center of the circle. She looked back to sets of golden eyes looking at her. One of them looked like they were about to cry too. She smiled a little. They were only trying to show her something and make her happy.

She was about to ask if she could have the doll when Hohenhiem whipped the fabric at the doorway open.

“I heard crying! Edward, what did you do??”

The remorse on Ed's face was gone in a flash. He jumped up and huffed, stomping his feet.

“I didn't do nothing!”

Hohenhiem scanned the tosseled rug and the obvious circle drawn on the floor. He slouched and sighed, pinching his nose.

“Did you scare her with Alchemy?”

Ed crossed his arms and turned away, puffing out his cheek. “No….”

Al stood up and gripped his robes. “Yes…” Ed whipped around and opened his arms at Al in a ‘are you serious?’ manner. Sour for being ratted on.

Hohenhiem sighed again. “I'm sorry Winry. I didn't think these two were going to immediately give you nightmares as soon as I left them alone with you. I should've known…”

Ed huffed again. “What's that supposed to mean??”

Winry’s eyes whipped from one to another. Amazed by the life in the room. Silently getting up while the other two argued, she tentatively picked up the doll and inspected it. Al quietly tapped her shoulder and smiled when she looked over.

“You can have that if you want it. It won't fall apart. It's really a real doll.” He smiled soft and sweet. “We made it just for you.”

She didn't know what would come of her life here in Xerxes now that she was stuck here for the foreseeable future, but with these two around, she knows it'll be interesting at least.

“Thanks, Al.”

📕📘📗📗📓📚📒📔📙📜

Thank you for this ask, but sorry in advance. In retrospect, I don't even know why I reblogged this ask meme because the only fics I have been able to think about are Kamen Rider fics and almost none of the people following me have seen any Kamen Rider

(prompt: Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.)

Anyway since you sent so many books, I'll talk about two ideas:

FMA post canon

Look, Greed's death made me very sad and he will be alive in all the fics I write because that's what he deserves.

That said, I think it would be very fun/horrible to write something from Ling's pov after Greed dies, specifically maybe something in the set up of "five times someone thought he was Greed and one time they didn't"

I haven't planned out specific scenes but here's what I think a few of them would be

-Darius and Heinkel who have only really known Greed and weren't around to watch the final showdown (I think? If they were around in canon, they aren't in this au) and are like "hey boss good to see you made it out of this mess" and Ling has to be like "....he didn't make it out"

-Ling has talked to Ed a couple times in the aftermath of the battle but one time he comes up from behind him or something and for a split second Ed is like "ugh Greed stop bothering me" and then they both realize

-idk about this one but I feel like at some point on him+Lan Fan+Mei's journey back to Xing, they run into some sort of situation where Ling thinks it would be beneficial to act like Greed to get out of it

-the final scene would be in Xing and I'm not sure, maybe he would wake up from a nightmare where he was Greed being pulled out of Ling's body (they were psychically linked then, you can't tell me that wouldn't leave some really weird scars and dreams) and Lan Fan wakes him up and calls him Ling, and of course she would never see him as anything other than Ling because she's known him her whole life and always refused to accept Greed having control of his body

Kamen Rider Blade Star Trek

Okay so when I was in early high school there was a genre of crossover in which a team (Star Trek crew, Firefly crew, the Avengers) meet some strange man (honestly usually the Doctor from Doctor Who) and are just like 'wtf is this guy's deal's. Additionally, Kamen Rider Blade has a novel set 300 years in the future where the main character has amnesia. So I have decided to combine the two of these things

Basically Kamen Rider Blade ending premise (spoilers): a human called Kenzaki sacrifices his humanity for a member of the monster group (Hajime) to keep living a life among humans. The catch is that now they are both immortal, and if they ever meet again they will be compelled to fight to the death

So this fic would alternate between povs of the cast of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

One day they receive a distress call, but upon further inspection it's coming from a small craft that has already been shot up to the point where nobody could survive it. They figure that they might as well check it though, see if there are any bodies to return to families or something. However, there is a unconscious but otherwise perfectly healthy and human looking man.

He wakes up, and it turns out that he doesn't have any of his memories except his name, and upon second inspection he is not human but also doesn't resemble any aliens they know. He's almost human with all the right organs in the same place and everything, but his blood is green and viscous and they aren't sure if half the organs are actually doing anything, etc. Also sometimes he references things from turn of the millennium earth as if he lived there himself which is wild

There's just a lot of crew interactions which I will not get into, but I would definitely find a way to bring Garak and Keiko into this, along with the main crew (by which I mostly mean Sisko, Jadzia, and Julien because I don't really know what Kira or Odo would have to say to Kenzaki)

This is interspersed with scenes of Hajime on a commercial transporter flying to deep space nine because he wants to go through the wormhole because he's super depressed and maybe going to the other side of the galaxy will help (it probably won't, but who knows. It's not like he's tried it before. Maybe there, he'll be far away enough he won't feel the constant urge lingering in the background to go find and kill his only surviving friend, the person he cares most about in the entire universe)

Summary:

Modern "Journey to the West", today's new "learning from scriptures" has a unique flavor, with suspense, a sexy goddess turned into a tomboy, siblings separated. After love and hate, the four master and apprentices finally reunited to cure cancer, fight against "demons", fight against fakes, and seek truth. Highlighting human nature 72 interesting, irony, shady, suspenseful, the moment of happiness is full of warmth and warmth, the characters of Journey to the West, urban love and hatred. Tang Youqiao, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, held an opening reception for the Guangzhou branch of his family's pharmaceutical company "Shen Nong Tang" people from all directions gathered together, each showing their magical powers. Tang Wensheng, a doctor who specializes in the treatment of tumors, was invited to give a special speech. He was particularly appreciated by Tang Youqiao, and inexplicably aroused his intimacy with Tang Youqiao. Zhu Laifu, who is used to bluffing and deceiving, also mixed in the crowd, walking back and forth like a butterfly, looking for opportunities to cheat. The wily general manager Niu Shixiong, the wily general manager, has already seen everything in his eyes, and secretly arranged with the confidential secretary Tie Li, ready to wait for an opportunity to teach Cheng Yaojin a lesson for the two who are getting in the way. At this time, Sun Tiansheng, who was expelled by Tie Li for no reason, came to look for Tie Li’ s theory in a fit of anger, and actually detonated a conflict. In fact, Sun Tiansheng's real identity is an investigator of the Anti-Counterfeiting Office of the Food and Drug Administration. He has been secretly tracking and investigating Niu Shixiong, Tie Li, and others' manufacture of counterfeit medicines. Fighting with Sun Tiansheng along the way, there is also a motorcycle rider wearing a helmet who is fighting against Tiansheng. What is even more surprising is that this young knight who seems to be fighting endlessly with Tiansheng is actually Tang Chao, the only daughter of Tang Youqiao!

Niu Shixiong ordered his subordinates to take advantage of the chaos and immediately turned the colorful reception upside down. In the melee, Zhu Laifu slipped away, Sun Tiansheng was outnumbered and injured and fell to the ground, but was rescued by the kind and helpful Tang Wensheng. Tang Chao, who loves martial arts and is active, is convinced by Tiansheng's sharp and agile skills, and he immediately has a good impression. But this also made Tang Youqiao very dissatisfied with his daughter, complaining repeatedly about how to give birth to such a troublesome daughter. Tang Youqiao was disappointed with the Tang Chao, so he decided to use Tang Wensheng's expertise in drug research to assist the branch company in operation. In addition, he was quite interested in Tiansheng's life experience. Niu Shixiong and Tie Li harbored ulterior motives and were uneasy about Tang Youqiao's decision.

But Tang Wensheng declined Tang Youqiao's offer. This is because Tang Wensheng, who doesn't care for fame and wealth, has been committed to finding good medicine for cancer patients. He doesn't want to leave his beloved research position. Moreover, he is preparing to marry his beloved Qingfang, so he doesn't want to make too many changes in his life. However, just a few days before the wedding, Qingfang suddenly regrets calling off her engagement. Wen Sheng was puzzled, but through the mouth of Zhu Lai Fu, who had a crush on women and couldn't refuse his pursuit of Qingfang, Tang Wensheng only found out the truth. It turned out that Qingfang found out that she had cancer. As a result, the emaciated Tang Wensheng went against his original intention and took the initiative to contact Tang Youqiao, determined to rely on the support of Tang's enterprises to speed up the research and development of new anti-cancer drugs.

Tang Youqiao was overjoyed at Tang Wensheng's change of heart. He not only promised to set up a special research foundation for Tang Wensheng, but also provided all the equipment. The only condition was to ask Tang Wensheng to be the quality control of the medicines of "Shen Nong Tang". But this made Niu Shixiong, who was determined to occupy Tang's family business, very angry and eager to get rid of it quickly. But Niu Shixiong did not expect that Tie Li had secretly fallen in love with Tang Wensheng at first sight, and Tang Wensheng was thus able to turn danger into blessing. Tang Youqiao came to Huixin Kindergarten to ask the principal Cheng Huixin about Tang Wensheng's life experience, but unexpectedly found that all the materials about Tang Wensheng's life experience had been stolen. 

Tang Wensheng recruited soldiers, and Sun Tiansheng, who had been saved by him, was loyal to Tang Wensheng. Zhu Laifu also came to report when he saw that it was profitable. Sha Ligang, a mechanic who felt sorry for Tang Wensheng for repairing the car, also came after hearing the news. The four gathered together and found that their surnames and personalities coincided with the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West", so they mocked each other with the Tang monk, master and apprentice. What's more, Tang Wensheng's white "BMW" also came to join in the fun, which was as spiritual as Tang Sanzang's white dragon horse, adding a lot of fun. 

The Tang Chao had mixed feelings about Tang Wensheng's entry into the Tang Corporation. She has fallen into unrequited love for Sun Tiansheng and cannot extricate herself. It is naturally gratifying to see Tiansheng now, but she is worried about her father's reliance on Tang Wensheng, lest Tang Wensheng occupy her place in her father's heart. Zhu Laifu's lust was not dead, and he aimed at the Tang Chao again but Tang Chao pretended to accept it and used  Zhu Laifu to stimulate Tiansheng. Sure enough, Tiansheng was fooled and advised Tang Chao to be careful of being deceived. He unconsciously clashed with Zhu Laifu in order to protect Tang Chao. Tang Chao's only confidant is Qingfang, and Qingfang's gentle tenderness makes her most envious. In order to attract Tiansheng, Tang Chao did not hesitate to imitate it, but the result was blunt and ridiculous, which frightened Tiansheng back away. 

Qingfang's condition deteriorated suddenly, and she was rescued by first aid. Tang Wensheng traced the reason and found out: Qingfang was eager to seek kindness, and took medicine privately, but the medicine she took was a counterfeit medicine produced under the order of "Shen Nong Tang"! Tang Youqiao was furious and ordered to investigate and deal with the delivery procedures of the batch of medicines. The cunning Niu Shixiong put the blame on Tang Wensheng. In fact, it was Tang Chao was instigated by Niu Shixiong and Tie Li to show off and put this batch of medicine on the market on its own initiative. Tang Wensheng did not defend himself, and took the initiative to take responsibility. This moved Tang Chao very much, and she took the initiative to admit her mistake to her father, but was severely reprimanded by Tang Youqiao. Tang Chao could not accept it, and the father and daughter broke up unhappy. 

Tang Youqiao learned from the Food and Drug Administration that there were traitors inside the company, and Niu Shixiong pointed the finger at Tang Wensheng. Tang Youqiao didn't believe it, and revealed that Tang Wensheng was probably his long-lost son, and the traitor must be someone else, so he ordered Niu Shixiong to find out the result within a time limit. Unexpectedly, Tang Youqiao died of heart failure when he went abroad for business negotiations but suddenly died of heart failure abroad. Tang Wensheng was shocked when he heard the news, and in order to repay Tang Youqiao's kindness, he vowed to find out the culprit who damaged the reputation of "Shen Nong Tang".

Tang Wensheng, his mentor and his disciples, thus went through all kinds of secrets to visit everywhere, going through twists and turns and dangerous situations, in order to obtain the "truth" behind the scenes. During the period, Tang Chao , who was rebellious and straightforward by nature, and Zhu Laifu, who was greedy for money and lustful but not lacking in cleverness, caused a lot of troubles, which made the journey of learning scriptures even more turbulent and funny, making people both nervous and funny. 

Cheng Huixin received a photo of his lost wife sent by Tang Youqiao abroad before his death. Cheng Huixin suddenly discovered that the young woman in the photo was Tang Wensheng's mother. Tang Wensheng  was very surprised when he heard the news, but it was a pity that he was separated from his father forever, and he only sighed that good fortune made people fool. 

In the end, Tang Chao, Tang Wensheng and others were all lured by Niu Shixiong into a deep mountain known as the stronghold of counterfeit medicines, but Tang Wensheng and others fell into a deep trap. Only then did Niu Shixiong show up, and they realized they had been fooled. Niu Shixiong admitted frankly that it was he who used the reputation of Tang Corporation to sell fake medicines, but all of this will remain a secret forever, and he will disappear into the mountains with them who are blocking his way of making money. After finishing speaking, he walked away. Tang Chao came, but couldn't rescue Tang Wensheng and the others, desperate to suffer without tears. At this time, Tang Wensheng told Tang Chao about his life experience truthfully, lamenting that the day when the brothers and sisters met turned out to be the time of farewell, and asked Tang Chao to mature and shoulder the heavy responsibility of seeking justice from Niu Shixiong. At this critical juncture, an old man picking herbs appeared and rescued Tang Wensheng and others. But it seems that everything has been decided long ago, but the old man turns out to be the benefactor who saved Tang Wensheng's mother and child back then. When Tang Wensheng's mother was living here, when she was dying of illness, she entrusted Tang Wensheng to him, and he traveled across mountains and rivers to Guangzhou to deliver Tang Wensheng to Hui Xin. 

Just as Niu Shixiong and Tie Li were celebrating and swept away all obstacles, Tang Wensheng and Tang Chao appeared in front of them. Tiansheng and the public security personnel followed closely and arrested the two according to law. Tang Wensheng and Tang Chao, brother and sister, came to pay respects to their father's grave and comforted their father. Under the guidance of the old man who collected medicine, he had finally successfully developed a new drug for cancer treatment. Qingfang was the first patient to be cured. Tang Wensheng also told his father that he would build a special tumor hospital in Putuo Mountain in the name of Tang Corporation, and he and Qingfang would go there together and live in the green mountains and green waters where his mother's soul was buried.

Tang Chao officially took over the Tang business. At the celebration, she wore a floor-length dress for the first time, and appeared gracefully in front of everyone. After Tiansheng was amazed, he burst into laughter as was really not used to a tomboy turning into a sexy goddess. Embarrassed, Tang Chao forgot to be reserved. The fists and feet were facing each other, causing people to turn their backs on their backs, and the end was lively.

Chapter 44: Lone Fight

Chapter 44.1: Lone Fight

Translator(s): Elestrea

Editor(s): juurensha, namio

This battle could easily be called the pinnacle of Xiang Shu's life. One lone man challenging 60,000 men; it was comparable to that unbeatable Martial God who had charged alone seven times through the enemy's ranks in the ancient battlefield of Dangyang nearly two hundred years ago. No matter how many he had killed, the Rouran cavalry just kept coming and coming, and Xiang Shu, who had been fighting alone, was losing his strength. When he heard Chen Xing's words "You can't beat them all, just run!" it was like there was a mouthful of blood inside his chest. Contrary to the words' original intention, they instead stirred up the blood all over his body. He wasn't afraid of death and once again went all out at the bottom of the cliff!

Chen Xing climbed up with both his hands and feet, and from below, he could see Xiao Shan trying to pry up the stone pillar; his whole person jumped up and down on his claws, and he was using all his strength to step on them. But then, Che Luofeng picked up his blade and aimed it straight towards Chen Xing who was still climbing! Chen Xing dared not shout, fearing it would distract Xiang Shu, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and swing on the cliff.

Che Luofeng was fuming with rage: "Han dog, the time of your death…"

Then the stone pillar on the platform fell over and smashed into Che Luofeng's waist.

Before Chen Xing could clearly see what had happened, he felt something flash before his eyes. He saw Che Luofeng with open arms and a stone pillar following behind him directly fly towards him. Che Luofeng's face looked ferocious as he fell past Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: "???"

Chen Xing immediately looked up and shouted: "Xiao——"

He had yet to finish when the thousands of jin stone pillar dragged the iron chain down with it and woosh! —— Chen Xing also got pulled down and flew straight to the bottom of the cliff! Chen Xing felt the sudden pull must've distorted his facial expression.

Chen Xing: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA——"

Xiang Shu's right hand was trembling from exhaustion, so he switched the sword to his left. When he was about to urge his horse to go up the mountain, he saw a stone pillar rolling down from behind the Rouran army. It made the ground tremble as it dragged the chained Chen Xing down the cliff!

"Beware of falling stones…" Chen Xing, who was dragged by the chain like a kite drifting in the wind, shouted from a distance.

Zhou Zhen, who was commanding the army, suddenly turned his head only to see a massive stone rolling down and crushing nearly ten thousand Rouran cavalry. This turn of events wasn't good at all, so he quickly dodged away to avoid that huge pillar that was falling from the top of the mountain. Xiao Shan had immediately gone after it, and Sima Wei, with black armor covering his whole body, rushed down from the top to chase after him. Desperate, Sima Wei detached and threw his black shield. It spun as it flew over, aligning perfectly with Chen Xing's feet.

"AAAAAAAAAA——" Chen Xing's tongue almost flew out in the wind. With the pillar still dragging him downhill, he stepped on the shield and began to ski down: slide to the left, avoid to the right —— all while still handcuffed. The pillar crushed anything it ran into, and there wasn't enough time for the Rouran cavalry to dodge it. Just like a rolling pin, the pillar flattened both riders and horses into meat pancakes.

Xiang Shu: "…"

Chen Xing felt dizzy for a moment and kept changing directions while Xiao Shan kept trying to throw himself on him several times. Luckily, not only did he not fall, he even managed to stabilize himself. Preoccupied with dodging, Zhou Zhen unexpectedly had forgotten for a moment that Xiang

Shu was still right there. Panicking, he rushed into the canyon. Xiang Shu once again flipped over to get on his horse and chased after Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen changed his horse's direction and came face-to-face with Xiang Shu.

"Heart Lamp!" Xiang Shu roared.

Chen Xing was dazed from all the dragging, and he kept seeing stars in front of his eyes. When he heard Xiang Shu's shout, he instinctively started the Heart Lamp.

The Heart Lamp's brilliant light flashed inside the dark canyon. Xiang Shu lifted up his broadsword and pointed towards the horizon. From it, white light burst out and swept across the surroundings; the blade of the sword shone bright, each character of the Nine Syllables of Tao appearing on it in succession——

——Zhou Zhen's eyes opened wide. When he was met with Xiang Shu's sword glare, he raised his hand to block out the light.

"Go back to wherever you came from," Xiang Shu's voice sounded in his ear. Then, the sword split him down. Amidst his loud scream, Zhou Zhen suddenly burst into glimmering dust before scattering in all directions.

Meanwhile, the stone pillar dragging Chen Xing rolled into the forest before crashing into a big boulder —— it immediately shattered into almost ten pieces.

Along the way, whenever Chen Xing wasn't being obstructed by branches, he was sliding in the snow. He had almost fallen to the side but managed to step on the shield again and avoid danger, unexpectedly stopping without the slightest injury. Then, he kicked the shield up and caught it with his hands. His hands were still bound by the iron chain and now he was tied to a huge stone pillar's remains that still weighed around 60 or 70 jin; his whole face turned pale, and he gasped for breath.

When Xiang Shu eventually caught up with Chen Xing, he suddenly grabbed his hands. He was covered with black blood from head to toe. They

both didn't say anything.

"You… you…" Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu and didn't know what to say.

"Me, me what?" Xiang Shu grabbed Chen Xing's wrist and wouldn't let go

—— unconsciously hurting him a little. Looking around, he could only see chaos everywhere. Most of the Rouran cavalry had been taken care of by Chen Xing's Iuppiter and was now regrouping in a panicked rush. He quickly said: "Now is not the time to talk, let's go!"

Chen Xing: "Xiao Shan…"

Xiang Shu: "He can protect himself!"

Chen Xing also thought that Xiao Shan's speed was indeed very fast. Since Sima Wei couldn't catch him, Xiao Shan should be able to protect his own life without much trouble. Now, the most important thing was that he couldn't fall into the enemy's hands and become a hostage again, or else it would only put Xiao Shan and Xiang Shu at more of a disadvantage.

Chen Xing ran until he was out of breath. In the depths of the woods, a cave appeared.

"Ah!" Chen Xing was about to say "Nice!" when Xiang Shu pressed his head down and motioned him not to speak. The two of them went in.

The cave was pitch-black, and it was covered with frost. Chen Xing lit up a small area with the Heart Lamp.

"Why is it just the two of you?" Chen Xing asked.

Xiang Shu: "I didn't let Xiao Shan come! He followed me! Am I alone not enough to save you?"

Xiang Shu was practically furious with Xiao Shan. Back then, he had been ready to rescue Chen Xing, but Xiao Shan kept following him around. So, Xiang Shu had to change his plans. He challenged the enemy head-on to distract their attention while Xiao Shan climbed up the peak to quietly

rescue Chen Xing. The end result: Xiao Shan went up, went wild, and made such a big mess in the end.

"How about Karakorum?" Chen Xing asked.

"It's guarded." Xiang Shu walked ahead, one hand carrying the boulder and pulling the chain along. He vigilantly looked around, watching for an ambush.

Chen Xing finally calmed down. He frowned and said: "You're taking too much risk. You came here alone?"

Xiang Shu: "I don't want my people to risk or even lose their lives just because they followed me to save you. You have a problem with that?"

Chen Xing felt a little guilty when he heard this, and he didn't know why, but he felt very stuffy when he looked at Xiang Shu. If I hadn't helped defend the city for you people to begin with, would I have been caught? But this was merely a passing thought. Looking at Xiang Shu's armor that was covered with black blood and his disheveled hair, he looked more like a ghost who had crawled straight out of the underworld —— it made Chen Xing slightly uncomfortable.

He had wanted to reply with: "Then why did you still come?", but he faintly picked out something else from Xiang Shu's words. The feeling was the same as when one plucked out a string; it gave out a barely audible, hard-to- discern vibrato. He wanted to listen attentively, only to discover that the guqin sound had long been gone and what remained was just the echo —— feeling similar to the feeling that appeared when one was tasting an illusion of reciprocated love.

They both went silent again for a moment.

"Are you feeling better?" Xiang Shu asked harshly. "What?" Chen Xing was at a loss. "I've always been fine."

"Bullshit!" Xiang Shu turned around and said angrily, "You were vomiting blood!"

Chen Xing then realized that Xiang Shu was talking about the time when he had fainted because he had exhausted his heart's power for the Heart Lamp. He felt as if he had been slapped hard, so he hurriedly said, "It's nothing. It was just because back then, I had overused the Heart Lamp's power, it made me unable to breathe for a while… Let's just go ah! Or you're going to hit me now?"

Xiang Shu carried the boulder and dragged down the chain. The two walked towards the windy part of the cave and in less than a quarter of an hour, they saw a light. They had unexpectedly entered a spacious ravine in the heart of Yin Mountains.

This ravine had weapons and armor scattered everywhere. Chen Xing murmured, "Where is this?"

"The sinners' pit." Xiang Shu looked around. He saw that the ravine was in the shape of a half-moon; it was surrounded by several peaks and in the distance, there was a dense forest covered in snow. He said: "Inside the Chi Le Covenant, people who have committed a crime are not granted sky burials and must be buried instead. This is where they are all buried."

Chen Xing looked towards the sky. The sky was so overcast that he couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, south, and north. How could they leave the mountain? While he was pondering that over, the sound of a stone falling to the ground suddenly came from the side. Xiang Shu supported himself with his sword as he slightly gasped for breath. It was clear that the battle had taken a toll on him, and he couldn't walk anymore.

Chen Xing hurriedly made Xiang Shu sit down and undid his armor. There were bloodstains inside and out, and even the garment inside the leather armor had been soaked purple and black by blood.

"How many did you defeat?" Chen Xing recalled that astonishing scene.

"I don't know." Xiang Shu leaned against a big tree with his eyes closed as he replied coldly, "No time to count. Help me take off my armor."

>Xiang Shu wore a Tiele heavy armor. Not long after he had entered the canyon, the warhorse was shot by an arrow and it couldn't hold on. This

armor was made of hardened steel by the Tieles' and the Rourans' craftsmen. It was deformed from all the arrows and swords, but it had still protected his body well.

Chen Xing bared Xiang Shu's chest. Xiang Shu took a deep breath and gasped for more air.

"Have a rest," Xiang Shu sat under the tree and with his back against it, he closed his eyes then said, "Guwang is too tired, too tired…"

Chen Xing was still chained, and with much difficulty, he tore off his robe to cover Xiang Shu's upper body. Looking at Xiang Shu's tired and bloodstained face, he thought that he was still so handsome. He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch Xiang Shu's face. At that moment, his mind gave birth to an idea, seemingly urging him to do something to express his gratitude towards Xiang Shu.

"How far is it from Karakorum to here?" Chen Xing said. "One day and one night," Xiang Shu replied.

Chen Xing thought: Did you come to save me as soon as I was caught?

"You want something to eat ma?" Chen Xing asked once again, "Are you hungry?"

"Eat what?" Xiang Shu indifferently said, "Can you even find me something to eat? Eat you? How many liangs of meat do you think you have?"

Chen Xing had to drop the subject.

Xiang Shu's breathing stabilized, and he no longer talked, clearly asleep. Chen  Xing  sat  down  on  his  side,  slightly  leaned  against  him.  His surroundings were quiet; the only sound he could hear was the rustling of the wind passing through the mountains and forests. At that moment, it was as if all dangers had distanced themselves away from them, and in the whole world, there was only this peaceful snow and lofty mountains.

I'm sorry, Chen Xing said in his heart.

If I hadn't one-sidedly made you my Protector, I wouldn't have caused you so much trouble ba. Chen Xing sighed in his heart, but regarding this matter, he was very confused. Now and then, Chen Xing went as far as

treating Xiang Shu as his last hope, because when he had been kidnapped, Xiang Shu had fought hard and risked his life for him.

Chen Xing was only leaning slightly on him, but Xiang Shu, eyes still closed, raised an arm and draped it around Chen Xing's shoulders, pulling him a little closer to himself. This action seemed to fill Chen Xing with endless courage, his momentary frustration vanishing like smoke in thin air.

Chen Xing slowly leaned down. Resting his head on Xiang Shu's body, he looked at the desolate graves in front of him.

"What?" Xiang Shu said suddenly. "What?" Chen Xing asked blankly. "Heart Lamp," Xiang Shu said concisely.

Chen Xing said, "Heart Lamp? But I'm not using it?"

Xiang Shu opened his eyes and doubtfully said: "I feel it. It's like you're glowing all over."

"Me?" Chen Xing raised his head, but Xiang Shu pressed it down so that his head still laid on his body. Leaning on him, Chen Xing felt better, but he couldn't tell why.

"Did you see Che Luofeng?" Xiang Shu changed the subject and asked.

"En," Chen Xing gave a rough outline of the events. Xiang Shu frowned and said, "Zhou Zhen became a living corpse shortly after his death and so did Youduo. Where have they been hiding all these years?"

This was also the point that Chen Xing was puzzled over the most. If the world's spiritual qi was still there, they might have been able to ask the yaos who could be found everywhere in the mountains or other areas.

"What are you going to do with Che Luofeng?" Chen Xing asked.

"I'm going to take him back," Xiang Shu said in a low voice, "or finish him here. It's my fault."

Chen Xing had originally wanted to say that you shouldn't hand over the responsibility of guarding Chi Le Chuan to Che Luofeng, but what was the use of saying that now? Besides, thinking about the circumstances at that time, even if Xiang Shu hadn't handed over the responsibility to his Anda, if Che Luofeng were to take over Chi Le Chuan and kill people anyway, there still would have been no one who could subdue him. Xiang Shu's decision to leave Chi Le Chuan was a mistake, and this mistake was caused by Chen Xing himself.

"Before I left, he promised me," Xiang Shu murmured, "that he wouldn't take revenge on the Akeles and that he would protect Chi Le Chuan for me. That night, surrounded by the clan chiefs, the two of us came to an agreement."

Chen Xing suddenly recalled the night when King Akele had waited outside his tent and offered to take him north. King Akele must've also felt that the argument between Xiang Shu and Che Luofeng was endless. He didn't want to drag the whole Chi Le Chuan into danger because of himself, and also didn't want the Great Chanyu to abandon the whole Chi Le Chuan for the sake of the Akeles, so he left without permission in the middle of the argument and came to assist Chen Xing on his own.

"Che Luofeng isn't that kind of person. Some words were said just because he let his emotions take over him in the heat of the moment. Once he calms down, he'll eventually get the big picture. It's Zhou Zhen and Shi Hai…" Xiang Shu murmured, "It was the medicine Shi Hai gave him that changed his temperament."

"Forget it," Chen Xing said, feeling a little uncomfortable. Xiang Shu said, "Can you save him again?"

Chen Xing replied, "It's hard to say. If the spiritual qi of heaven and earth were still there, I could've attempted to dispel the influence of the Devil God's blood."

Xiang Shu: "It's impossible for him to be forgiven. I just want him to regain his dignity and then die."

"For what crime?" A hoarse voice said, "Shulü Kong, the one who should ask for forgiveness is you."

Chen Xing suddenly looked up. Xiang Shu however, seemed to have known that Che Luofeng was coming. He casually patted Chen Xing, indicating for him to get up, before standing up himself, using his sword for support. "Drop it, explain yourself."

Che Luofeng had been pummeled beyond recognition. When he fell off the cliff, his head was knocked until it became dented, the armor and clothes on his whole body had shredded into rags, and one of his hands was broken and hung free at his side.

Che Luofeng's eyes were opened wide, looking at Xiang Shu. "My Anda, you should remember the consequence of going back on your words."

"Don't move a zhang away from this tree." Xiang Shu picked up his sword and slowly walked away from Chen Xing. His upper body was bare, showing the scar left behind from that time in Chang'an not too long ago where he had blocked an arrow for Chen Xing. His lower body was still covered with iron armor. He held the sword horizontally, blocking Che Luofeng's way.</p<

There was a small noise coming in from all directions —— a powerful resentment was spreading quietly in this ancient burial ground.

Sima Yue appeared from inside the forest. Holding an antler staff, he stood on high ground, overlooking the three men in the graveyard.

Chen Xing raised his head to look at Sima Yue, noticing that the antler staff was commanding the resentment around it. After a while, it grew by leaps and bounds, and all of the resentment beyond the Great Wall rushed into the graveyard, pouring into the ravine like running water!

"Sima Yue!" Chen Xing said in a deep voice, "Let your master come out and speak!"

"Exorcist," Sima Yue, standing above them, said in an aloof and cold voice. "You will see him soon enough. I'll give you a chance: Give up all

resistance and come with me. That way, you'll naturally have an opportunity to ask him everything."

At that moment, Chen Xing had an idea: If I pretended to lose and be caught, what would happen?  It was obvious that these two resurrected living corpses who were called "Drought Fiend Kings" had received an order from their superior to capture him alive.

But Chen Xing immediately gave up on that idea. Shi Hai wanted to see him, so they would keep him alive, but the same couldn't be said for Xiang Shu. It was too risky to try, and it really wasn't worth it.

"I have no interest in negotiating with him." Chen Xing lifted his chain and confronted the enemy on the high ground. Showing no emotions, not even the slightest hint of fear, he said, "Go back and tell him: My mission is to annihilate him and send him back to samsara, to the place where the dead ought to go."

Sima Yue burst out into a hoarse, frantic laugh. "You alone? I'd like to see, with the Silence of All Magic, what a weak and defenseless exorcist can do!"

The moment his voice fell, Sima Yue thrusted the staff in his hand into the ground, and the overflowing resentment snapped into a frenzy! Cold winds howled in the ancient graveyard, as if their surroundings had transformed into the underworld!

When he saw this, Chen Xing muttered: "Not good." Like the Yin Yang Mirror and the Zheng Drum, this magical artifact had been refined with resentment! The resentment in the magical artifact, coupled with that caused by the war and the massacre in Chi Le Chuan, had begun to stir the earth vein of this gloomy place. This situation was even more dangerous than Chang'an City!

At first, he didn't think much about it as there weren't many people living in Chi Le Chuan, and there had been no large-scale war for so many years. So, even if there were resentment hovering around, it would dissipate very quickly. However, what he didn't expect was that what Chi Le Chuan lacked

the most if compared to Chang'an City was the most important factor: People.

The fewer the number of living people, the weaker the yang qi would become, which slowed down the neutralization of the resentment borne by death. Sima Yue had brought this magical artifact containing powerful resentment out of nowhere and was now forcibly urging and releasing its power. In an instant, dark clouds surged in the sky above, blood-red lightning also faintly visible.

Numerous shadows appeared from within the mountain range, surrounding that tall and ancient tree in the graveyard.

"Shulü Kong…" Che Luofeng roared from inside the dark clouds. "I've given you almost everything I have, and all these years, I've never owed you anything..."

Che Luofeng slowly emerged from the dense resentment. Chen Xing looked around the graveyard and found that countless animals had become corrupted —— deer, wolves, wild dogs, foxes, vultures… A horde of dead animals with exposed, eerie white bones and muddy eyes stared at them as they limped towards the graveyard.

"My Anda is already dead," Xiang Shu said, holding his broadsword. "The monster standing in front of me is nobody."

Chen Xing forced himself to calm down. He could see that Che Luofeng's broken and torn body was, to his surprise, being slowly mended inside the dense resentment. Looking up at the darkened sky, he then activated the Heart Lamp. This thick aura was interfering with the light of Xiang Shu's sword, dimming it down.

The resentment was so heavy it gnawed away the power of Heart Lamp by the minute.

"Shulü Kong," Che Luofeng said, trembling. "You selfish, ungrateful, vile man. I've seen through you, just die! Return everything I've given you!"

Chen Xing shouted: "Xiang Shu! Don't get too far away from me! The Heart Lamp's mana has been weakened!"

Chen Xing rushed into the battlefield, and Xiang Shu moved back. Incomparable resentment was enveloping Che Luofeng; he was even more unreconciled than Feng Qianyi. He revealed a bone whip from his left hand and pounced on Xiang Shu!

Translator's Comment:

Ah, Che Luofeng, you’re one of the characters I shall never truly hate or like. I like how Feitian made him such a conflicted person. But I guess, there’s no redemption for you this time.

Anyway, the glossary is now updated until Chapter 44.

The biggest advantage of Douyin is content traffic 

From the beginning, there was no possibility that Douyin would crowd out Meituan or replace it.

Despite its aggressive entry, Douyin cannot take  HE Tuber  away all the cake whether it is e-commerce, games or local life.

At present, Byte Games has ceased operations and has withdrawn from competition with established companies such as Tencent and NetEase. In the field of e-commerce, although Douyin e-commerce is developing rapidly and its GMV is expected to reach 2.3 trillion yuan in 2023, it is still only about 1/3 of Alibaba. In the field of local life, Douyin has started high and gone low, and has slowed down the pace of catching up with Meituan since the second half of 2023.

The biggest advantage of Douyin is content traffic, but local life is a business that requires "bending down to pick up steel . "

Wang Xing once said, "It is not enough to have traffic alone. You must have actual merchants and an entire operating system who are willing to work hard."

Douyin has already picked the low-hanging fruit, but if it wants to go further, it needs to polish its "hard work", especially its delivery capabilities. This capability serves takeout, instant retail, and other home-based scenarios, and is closely connected with in-store business. It is Meituan’s real barrier and a weakness that Douyin cannot avoid.

Douyin once tried to rely on third-party transportation capacity and solve the problem in a curve. However, a more complex transportation capacity supply system has low efficiency, slow speed, and poor user experience.

According to "LatePost", people familiar with the matter said that Douyin's third-party delivery costs are as high as more than 10 yuan per kilometer, far exceeding the average order price of Meituan and Ele.me, which is 6 to 7 yuan, thereby hindering the development of takeaway and other businesses.

But it is impossible for Douyin to follow Meituan and build an army of delivery personnel covering the whole country from scratch.

At present, Meituan has more than 6 million riders, and the annual rider cost is close to 70 billion yuan. For Douyin, which has a large business, it is obviously unaffordable to invest so much money into local life.

Douyin, which has been unable to solve the distribution problem, has also greatly reduced its strategic threat to Meituan.

Douyin once made Meituan feel like a formidable enemy, but now that it has reviewed the market, the cost of stopping Douyin is far less than expected.

In the first quarter 2023 earnings conference call, Meituan’s management expected that the profit margin of the in-store segment will fall from 48% to 30% in the next quarter; but the actual situation is that in the second quarter, Meituan’s core local business segment Operating profit margin fell only 0.2%.

After the blitzkrieg failed to work, Douyin was involved in a position war with Meituan; Douyin’s traffic flow was weakened in disguise.

The deeper problem is that the competition between Douyin and Meituan, and even Alibaba and Tencent, is a limited war, not an unlimited life and death struggle. Except for the content area that is the foundation of its establishment, it does not need to touch the business foundation of others; it is a more rational choice to cut a part of the cake and coexist with others.

On the other hand, the competition between other companies and Douyin may seem fierce, but in the long run, it is not a battle of life and death.

Although Alibaba was cut off a large piece of the cake by Douyin, it is very clear that its biggest threat is not Douyin, but Pinduoduo; even Jack Ma further made this clear through the intranet.

Tencent also holds a similar view.

Byte's Chaoxi Guangnian invaded Tencent's territory, and Douyin anchors were repeatedly banned from pirated broadcasts of "Honor of Kings"; but after the rise of NetEase's "Egg Boy Party", Tencent ignored the past grievances and immediately launched the benchmark product "Yuan". "Dream Star" was put on Douyin for key promotion.

In the same way, Meituan’s strategic opponent is not Douyin.

In the field of pan-retail, e-commerce platforms with strong supply chains and fulfillment and delivery capabilities are the fatal enemies standing in the way of Meituan’s “retail + technology” vision.

Fundamentally speaking, Douyin is a content platform that sells traffic. Whether it is developing advertising business, doing live streaming, shelf e-commerce, or even local life later, Douyin’s ultimate goal is to sell traffic at a better price, regardless of whether the buyer is an anchor, a brand, or a merchant.

If Meituan wants to fundamentally block Douyin's offensive, it needs to cooperate with Douyin, become the latter's big customer and advertiser, and turn Douyin into a new traffic channel. It cannot just compete with Douyin, but should be in harmony with each other and establish a mutually beneficial and symbiotic competition and cooperation relationship.

03

Before getting into a fierce battle with Douyin, Wang Xing publicly expressed his philosophy of "competition and cooperation."

At the end of 2016, Wang Xing participated in a roundtable forum with Zhang Yiming and Cheng Wei. Wang Xing mentioned that when bidding goes to the extreme, a "winner's curse" may occur, and the person who gets the highest price may have paid too much. "If everyone competes like crazy, the first place is usually worth more than the actual value, which is not very cost-effective."

Three months later, Meituan launched its online ride-hailing business, and Cheng Wei immediately closed the Meituan interface of Didi APP. Wang Xing shouted from a distance, hoping that the other party would accept the new normal of "competition and cooperation".

Being wary of the "winner's curse" and thinking about "competition" reflected Wang Xing's strategic prudence at that time.

But in the following six years, as more and more people peered into Meituan’s backyard, Wang Xing focused on all-round competition. “Competition and cooperation” did not become the main strategic line of Meituan.

The fiercest battles broke out between rivals who used to cherish each other.

Wang Xing and Cheng Wei competed in many areas such as online ride-hailing, shared bicycles, community group buying, etc., and they also competed with Zhang Yiming in the local life sector.

In 2017, when Meituan entered the online ride-hailing business, China’s Internet was still in the afterglow of rapid growth.

Meituan competes with rivals large and small for new users and new territories, and together they expand the scale of the segmented tracks. But by 2024, the industry trend has undergone fundamental changes, and players are competing for the existing market; every step forward requires paying a higher price.

Eight years after proposing the "new normal of competition and cooperation," Wang Xing should really pay attention to "cooperation."

Looking around, opponents who once fought fiercely with Meituan are looking for gold in the Douyin ecosystem.

Meituan’s old rival Ele.me joined hands with Douyin two years ago, hoping to catch the last train of the short video era;

Didi opened an official live broadcast room in Didi to sell taxi tickets all year round;

Ctrip even made Douyin an important position two or three years ago, and founder Liang Jianzhang personally went live to deliver goods.

Ele.me’s performance on Douyin has been good and bad, but it has always been beneficial.

Meituan should also enter Douyin to prevent all potential users in the traffic pool from flowing to competitors.

There is only one situation where Meituan needs to fight Douyin: Douyin acquires Ele.me.

But as mentioned before, Douyin is in the business of selling water and should not carry the heavy burden of Ele.me’s millions of riders.

With Douyin's growth slowing down, Byte's current focus is to continue to improve traffic monetization efficiency.

Domestically, it has built shelf e-commerce to improve the conversion efficiency from content traffic to transaction traffic; while abroad, TikTok is also deploying its troops to continue to promote commercialization. It does not need to incur huge costs at this time, nor does it need to completely oppose Meituan.

It is Wang Xing's habit to fight his competitors to the end. However, after China's Internet entered the era of great reconciliation, mutual exchange of needs and benefit sharing became the main theme. Wang Xing might as well change his past uncooperative approach and treat Byte and even Alibaba more gently. If we can untie the knot, Meituan will be able to more smoothly draw traffic from Douyin, and even open up the spring of Alipay’s mini program.

The past grievances between entrepreneurs are the historical burden of the enterprise. There are no eternal enemies in the business world, only eternal interests.

In the face of the new situation, Byte and Tencent are still shaking hands and making peace, while Douyin and Meituan can also go hand in hand.

[sultanaislammow]

With the local life booming again, how long can Meituan’s dominance last?

While making every effort to HE Tuber create a special event for the "God Voucher Festival" and participating in the 618 live broadcast promotion, Meituan's senior management also issued an 

internal military order: If Douyin has it, Meituan must also have it. For Meituan, live streaming is not only a defensive method, but also caters to the new needs of Generation Z. Douyin and Kuaishou have won tens of billions of GMV in a short period of time by relying on live broadcasts and short videos, which has revealed the potential of this new track.

Another phenomenon worth noting is that Meituan and Alibaba, the old enemies, are also showing signs of making peace with each other and working together to deal with new enemies.

Recently, Meituan's in-store ordering and power bank sharing mini-programs have been launched on Alipay, with total usage exceeding 7 million. This cooperation allows both parties to get what they need: Alipay has nearly 700 million monthly active users, and the total number of global users exceeds 1 billion, making it the traffic pool that Meituan covets; the addition of Meituan enriches Alipay’s life services Functions also bring more merchant resources to it and provide new increments for digital business.

Whether it is fighting Douyin, Kuaishou's offensive, or joining forces with Alipay, merchants and rider resources are Meituan's biggest trump cards. As long as these two trump cards do not expire for a day, Meituan’s status will be difficult to shake. Given that Meituan still has a huge advantage, it is difficult to repeat the subsidy war during the "Thousand Regiments War" period. Users do not have to worry too much about disrupting the order of market operations.

In the long run, Meituan needs to consolidate its advantages as merchants and riders, strengthen its shortcomings in content marketing, and create more "magic coupon festivals." As the pursuers, Douyin and Kuaishou need to think about a fundamental question: home delivery business accounts for the majority of the local life market. If they insist on not setting up a self-operated delivery team, how can the platform do a good job in the takeout business?

Just as Douyin e-commerce began to focus on self-operated business, build shelf e-commerce areas and continue to expand merchant resources, the rider-merchant-platform is equivalent to the people-goods-market iron triangle in the local life industry, and all three are indispensable. Relying solely on traffic support and money-burning subsidies to drive GMV is not a long-term solution after all.

In earnings calls in recent quarters, Wang Xing has been asked by analysts how he views the performance of competitors such as Douyin. Regarding these issues, Wang Xing maintains a consistent attitude: Meituan is very confident that the "triple armor" composed of riders, operating networks, and merchants will firmly defend Meituan's throne in the local lifestyle market.

However, Wang Xing also knows that Meituan has more and more opponents, and this dominance may not last forever. In addition to Douyin and Kuaishou, old rival Alibaba is also a force that cannot be ignored. Ele.me’s in-store business was recently merged into AutoNavi, further strengthening the latter’s strength; Pinduoduo’s group buying business Kuai Tuan Tuan, Xiaohongshu and video accounts are also eager to try, and major Internet companies are unwilling to let go of the fat of local life.

Faced with the pursuit and interception of these opponents, Meituan must not take it lightly.
