Chapter 57 – Half-Demon Blood
Song Qingshi’s alcohol tolerance was so bad that he soon felt dizzy and fell sound asleep…
Yue Wuhuan carried him on his back and took him back to the inn. He washed his face for him, untied his robe and covered him with the quilt. For a long while, he sat by his bedside, feeling at a loss. He found his drunken state to be very delicious but his drunken behavior fairly quite a handful. It challenged his self-control. In the end, he still decided it would be best for him to drink a little less.
What happened tonight was unexpected.
Outside the window, several Gu’s with the light of fireflies were flying about. It was a signal from that person.
Now that the Master has fallen asleep and the map has been unrolled and the dagger has been revealed, it was time to deal with this delightful matter.
Yue Wuhuan gathered together his long hair, tidied up his clothes and followed the markers given by the Gu’s, proceeding towards the place where he should go.
In an abandoned mountain temple on the outskirts of Nanhai city, Gu’s and poisonous snakes densely covered the entire floor, crawling and shifting, hideous and strange. It was like the most terrifying torture of legend, the Poison Pit. The aura of death permeated everywhere. As soon as An Long’s demonic nature began to break out, the Luminous Dragon had been thrown into a barren mountain lest it sense the unusual situation.
An Long sat quietly in the center of the Poison Pit. No emotions could be seen in his long, narrow, blood-colored eyes.
Yue Wuhuan walked without the slightest hesitation into this mountain temple dominated by terror. He stepped into the pile of Gu’s. The poisonous snakes and Gu’s crawled up on his legs. The silky itchiness was herd to bear. He was subjected to stab after stab of pain. This was a road to hell that even the most terrifying nightmare could not conjure but he seemed to be walking on a sea of flowers, walking on clouds, feeling not the slightest bit of fear.
An Long finally spoke, his voice hoarse and grating, “You are a lunatic.”
Yue Wuhuan gave a very soft and gentle smile. “You’re actually a half-demon.”
The little Foundation Building cultivator, covered entirely with Gu’s, looked provokingly at the king within the darkness who had a hold over his life.
He didn’t know fear, nor was he afraid of death. He liked to scheme and liked even more to gamble recklessly.
An Long had already thoroughly investigated early on all his experiences during the past ten years. Never before has there been anyone as crazy as him, using his life and his weaknesses to set up one trap after another. The moment you felt like victory was within your grasp was when he would reveal his true poison fangs, biting down ruthlessly on your weakness, causing unendurable pain.
The most terrible poison…
An Long asked coldly, “When did you start to doubt my identity?”
“Initially, I felt that your acquaintance with Master was very deliberate.” Yue Wuhuan saw through his thoughts. Patiently, he slowly narrated, “You deliberately attracted his attention and then you accurately matched his interests and hobbies, becoming ‘friends’. Master isn’t good at expressing himself. He never takes the initiative to express his preferences. The outside world has a lot of misconceptions about him. So, how can you understand his thoughts so well?”
Of course, this was but a little suspicion…
There were also many coincidences in the world, such as two people who just happened to be perfectly suited to each other.
But there was now a crack in his heart and the more he thought, the more there were; the more he thought, the bigger they became.
Song Qingshi had the good habit of filing medical records for every one of his patients. During the past ten years, he has searched through all the records and hadn’t found anything suspicious.
He also investigated An Long’s past and found that before entering the Myriad Gu Sect, it was a complete blank. He had no parents, no friends, no past. He seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Because of his innate ability to control Gu’s, he was taken in by the previous sect master of the Myriad Gu Sect, making him one of his direct disciples.
Finally, he had accidentally found the half-demon’s medical record.
Because of the controversy regarding half-demons in the immortal realm, this record had been sealed and hidden in a corner of the library; an extremely valued record.
Song Qingshi’s medical records never contain anything related to emotions. They were all cold data, including daily medications, the development of the disease, so on and so forth. He seemed to have been a young and inexperienced doctor at the time and many of his treatment methods were imprecise, even his records weren’t very comprehensive. However, it could be seen that the treatment process lasted for nearly two whole years. The two had been alone together and they accompanied each other day and night. It was enough time to see that this outwardly indifferent person was in his heart, gentle and soft; enough time to understand his true tastes and preferences.
But this was not enough…
“The foul and lowly half-demon and the noble and powerful Myriad Gu Sect Master, how could I possibly dare to connect the two? I have never heard of a half-demon that could climb to such a high position.” Yue Wuhuan’s voice carried with it ridicule. “However, when Master talked about the half-demon in the mountain temple, you seemed to hate this topic. I had a vague feeling that there was something strange about it and when we were caught in the Heart-Eating Nightmare Formation, Master thought it had been my nightmare. But I knew it wasn’t, which meant that it could have only be yours. Why was the deepest place in the majestic Gu King’s memory a stinky swamp?”
The half-demon and Song Qingshi met in a swamp and An Long’s nightmare memory was also a swamp.
However, he was still missing that little bit of evidence.
An Long suddenly noticed a faint scent. He quickly shielded his breathing but it was too late. The scent stimulated his demon blood to seethe. Vertical pupils appeared in his blood-colored eyes once again. Black scales gradually emerged on his face, covering most of it. The limbs on one side of his body began to change. The arm tattooed with the five evils turned into a black shell. His fingers stretched out. They resembled the jointed limb of an insect. His fingertips were as sharp as knives.
His back mutated and barbs emerged. A long scorpion tail stretched out, a poisonous hook at the end.
Yue Wuhuan exclaimed, “Your true face is as ugly as I thought.”
An Long said coldly, “Soul Captivating Incense? What did you add in it?”

An Long should have been able to suppress this derangement by virtue of his cultivation but today, he was emotionally unstable. Under the stimulation of the Soul Captivating Incense, all his emotions and desires were magnified. Finally, he was unable to control his own body and he exposed a side of him he never wanted anyone to see.
“The Western Forest’s Gu King, so high above the masses,” Yue Wuhuan spread his arms wide and smiled happily. “If you kill me, my last testament will inform Master of this matter. It will inform the Night Rain Pavilion, the Myriad Gu Sect. It will inform everyone in the entire world.”
In the realm of cultivation, everyone was all too willing to put a half-demon to death.
No one would allow him to sit on the throne of the Western Forest.
No matter how strong Western Forest’s Gu King was, could he fend against the entire world out for his blood?
Yue Wuhuan was a lunatic. He had nothing. He had nothing he was afraid of losing. He wasn’t afraid of excruciating punishment, of torture, of death. He wasn’t afraid of anything. For his opponent, choosing to perish with him would merely be getting caught in a most painful choice.
An Long took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the chaos in his mind provoked by the Soul Captivating Incense. He stood up, murderous intent covered him from head to toe. “He won’t be tempted by you.”
He has already made his choice.
“You would kill me even if you were to lose everything? I didn’t expect the Gu King to have such deep feelings and attach such great importance to my Master, to be so mad as to be unable to help himself.” Yue Wuhuan showed an even more enchanting smile. And then in the twinkling of an eye, he tore off that smile and turned into the ice-cold and terrifying lunatic. All the Blood King Vines stretched out. He unsheathed his sword. Accentuating each word, he asked, “But…in the Golden Phoenix Manor, why did you kill him?!”
An Long’s murderous aura solidified. After a long while, he asked in return, “How do you know this?”
Then, he suddenly understood. Yue Wuhuan had been the mortal slave with Gui Yuan Xianzun. At that time, he had made a mistake, his thoughts were in a flurry and he only noticed Gui Yuan Xianzun’s prying eyes. In order to completely erase this matter, he killed Gui Yuan Xianzun and eradicated the Can Tong Sect. However, he was unable to find the lowly blindfolded slave, whose face he hadn’t been able to see clearly.
There were truly too many slaves in the Golden Phoenix Manor and a mortal wouldn’t have the ability to spy on what he had done.
Therefore, after he confirmed that Gui Yuan Xianzun wasn’t clear on what he had done, he let this matter go.
This incident was the biggest thorn and the deepest pain in his heart.
“Let me guess,” Yue Wuhuan walked forward step by step, a smile on his face. “Could it be that you expressed your love to my Master? Then my Master rejected you. Your half-demon blood’s lust for killing and wrath erupted and you killed him by mistake? You suspected that Gui Yuan Xianzun had seen your half-demon form and so you killed him to silence him?”
“No,” An Long muttered to himself, as though explaining to himself. “I don’t know what had happened at that time. It was all so confusing. When I woke up, he was already dead…”
“Yes,” Yue Wuhuan closed in. “You went out of control. Your Gu killed him.”
An Long retorted, “He is not dead!”
“I saw his lifeless body with my own eyes. You too thought he was dead at the time. So you laid him down in his favorite medicine garden, didn’t you?” Yue Wuhuan’s expression was extremely sad. “Master is so pitiful. There was no trace of any resistance on his body. I guess he never expected his own “good friend” to be so cruel to him and he was caught off guard.”
An Long felt his head begin to hurt again. “I don’t remember anymore. But he didn’t die, he came back to life…”
Yue Wuhuan said, gratified, “That Master managed to come back to life, is thanks to his good luck and not by your mercy.”
An Long took a deep breath. “Qingshi forgave me.”
“He forgave you?” Yue Wuhuan laughed madly, as if he heard the funniest joke. He was like a fiend from hell who found the stupidest prey, a pitiable soul he could take away with as much effort needed to blow away a speck of dust.
An Long suddenly felt fear. He realized that something was wrong. Maybe he should kill this person immediately. He didn’t want to face the truth…
However, it was too late.
In a gentle tone, Yue Wuhuan said the cruelest truth, “Master has forgotten that memory. He forgot that you killed him.”
An Long said angrily, “Impossible! That Gu couldn’t have attacked his sea of consciousness!”
“Unfortunately, something happened to his soul, which caused a portion of his memory to be lost.” Yue Wuhuan looked as him as if he was looking at a pitiful creature. “When he said he had forgiven you, for which incident was he referring to? Has he ever mentioned anything about what happened that day? Don’t be stupid, how could someone forgive the person who murdered him?”
An Long kept backing away. He felt his head hurt even more.
When he’d seen Song Qingshi, he’d been a little out of control. He only remembered confessing his feelings, throwing himself at his mercy, begging for a little bit of affection. But was ruthlessly rejected. He then sunk into rage and despair. He lost his rationality and when he was sober once again, Song Qingshi had already fallen to his Gu.
He had a total mental collapse and he left the Golden Phoenix Manor in a panic. When he learned later on that that Song Qingshi wasn’t dead, he felt a little bit better. He knew that he had commit a grave mistake and he dared not ask for forgiveness. His entire being felt muddled and he was like a walking corpse for a long time after. Then, he received a letter from Song Qingshi. The content of the letter was the same as usual, telling him the solution to a difficult problem he had posed. He made no mention of the events of that day, seeming as if he hadn’t taken it to heart.
Song Qingshi had agreed to have him at the Medicine King’s Valley as a guest.
Song Qingshi had smiled and said he’d forgiven him.
Song Qingshi never once mentioned what happened that day.
The loss of the utter joy he’d once regained was a blow that almost caused him to pass out…
He dared not think about that day anymore, trying to hide in the sand like an ostrich, erasing all traces of his crime.
There was even a faint happiness in his heart. Qingshi knew of his feelings and was willing to forgive his crime. Didn’t that mean that he was a unique existence in his eyes? That he felt something different for him? That night, when he knocked on his door in an unlined robe for the first time, he had almost swooned from happiness, thinking he had come to agree to his request.
Although it had been a misunderstanding, being able to return to being his good friend was also good…
In order to atone for his crime, he was willing to do anything.
Even if a sharp blade was plunged repeatedly into his heart…
He was still perfectly willing to do so…
Because of his lineage as a half-demon, his desire to kill was stronger than that of an ordinary person’s. No one could provoke him and remain alive. That is, except for Yue Wuhuan. He suppressed his murderous intent again and again, allowing this weak mortal to survive in his sea of anger. Because he was afraid. If he made another mistake, he would lose everything.
It turned out, that he had already made a mistake?
It turned out, that he had never been forgiven?
An Long held his head in agony. The effect of Soul Captivating Incense grew deeper and deeper. He felt a buzzing sound begin in his head once again. The auditory hallucinations were about to appear.
“Let go of Master, alright?” Yue Wuhuan approached slowly, his beautiful eyes were filled with entreaties, his voice, weak and pitiful. “I won’t hurt Master. I just want to live a quiet life with him in the Medicine King’s Valley. We will spend the years peacefully, away from all worldly affairs. I’m asking you to help us, okay?”
Several Blood King Vines slowly grew out of the dark. Bringing with them the highly-toxic poison prepared long ago, they approached this confused prey, on the verge of collapse.
“You have already hurt him. He cannot forgive you,” Yue Wuhuan used the cruelest words, hacking his heart into pieces, provoking his soul. “How could you still return shamelessly to his side? How can you thicken your face and be his friend once more? Could it be that you mistakenly thought that he had forgiven you, that you hold a special place in his heart?”
The sword in his hand slowly approached. On its blade was a faint blue light from the poison smeared upon it.
An Long gasped and pleaded, “Stop talking, stop talking…”
“You are really ridiculous,” Yue Wuhuan shook his head softly, his voice full of pity. “How do you pray for forgiveness for killing the one you like? How about…you go to hell and confess your sins?”
He had hardly finished speaking, when his sword thrust out like a swimming dragon. At the same time, the Blood King Vines launched an attack on the weakness they’d been targeting.
Hard scales quickly appeared on An Long’s body. Like the toughest shield, it automatically blocked the poisonous attack.
Yue Wuhuan took back his sword. He took two steps back, and sneered, “The Half-demon lineage, how truly troublesome.”
He successfully disrupted his heart’s defenses and every position he attacked was a weakness. But his cultivation base was too low to pierce the defenses of the half-demon Nascent Soul. It truly was too difficult.
An Long knelt on the ground. The noise in his head was getting worse, making him collapse, rendering him unable to think.
The Gu’s all over the floor lost their directive and began to indiscriminately attack any living creature.
If he were to let this chance slip by, he was afraid he would never get another as good as this. Yue Wuhuan used the Blood King Vine to continuously whip away the surrounding insects and still, his body was bitten by the poisonous snakes and Gu’s. He swallowed down some medicine to delay the onset of the poison. He then took out the Black Death Butterflies, their highly-toxic poison could permeate through contact with the skin. He had already used the Blood King Vine to mark the Black Death Butterfly’s prey.
He threw out a talisman and several talisman arrays spread out, forming a chain of formations, completely blocking off An Long’s retreat.
A number of Black Death Butterflies flew out of the sealed bamboo tube, rushing towards their marked enemy, out to drag his soul into the abyss.
Yue Wuhuan smiled with satisfaction, waiting to reap this long-awaited happiness.
An Long raised his head. Looking at the black butterflies, he said slowly, “Qingshi cultivates the Way of the Heartless.”
Yue Wuhuan was stunned and then his smile grew even brighter. “It’s just as I want.”
Although a slight deviation had appeared, he would find a way to correct it.
He never wanted to let his Master actively desire.
An Long couldn’t help cursing, “Lunatic.”
He stood up; black demon aura spread throughout his body. The scorpion tail stretched out, ready to rip apart the formation.
Suddenly, thunder rang out from the sky…
Lightning leapt wildly like a snake. A violent bolt of lightning smashed open the roof of the mountain temple, breaking the formation, and separated the two of them. Immediately afterwards, the torrential rain poured down, drenching everything and knocking down the wings of the Black Death Butterflies, intercepting this fatal attack.
Yue Wuhuan looked up in astonishment, staring at this inexplicable change in weather.
He felt like he was back to the days when he was made a fool of by fate. He couldn’t even understand just what this was.
An Long disappeared in the heavy rain, taking away all the Gu’s and poisonous snakes.
Their fight had been interrupted and his goal could not be fully achieved.
“Why? Why? Why?”
Yue Wuhuan was furious. The Blood King Vine went berserk, beating against the rainstorm, beating the ruined eaves and dilapidated walls, beating everything that could be beaten. Tall trees were chopped down, huge boulders were smashed. He wished he could destroy everything in the world.
The rain dimmed his vision, his body was wet, and there was a foul smell everywhere.
He hated the world right down to the marrow of his bones.
…
An Long walked into the dense forest and lay in the mud.
The auditory hallucinations in his mind were getting more and more severe. He could no longer think, could no longer fight.
“Despair. So what if you had crawled out of the filthy mud and attained a standing well-suited to his?”
“Despair. He would rather die than accept your heart…”
“Despair. Your disguise has already been torn down. Your true face is so hideous and your heart is so filthy…”
“Despair, He never forgave you…”
“…”
An Long listened blankly to these constantly repeating words but what appeared before his eyes was the young man who had scooped him up from the dirty swamp so many years ago. He covered his stinky body with the fragrant white robe and after that, he carried him away, step by step. He washed his rotting wounds clean, eliminated the painful poisons from his body, and cured all his ailments for him. And then, he heartlessly sent him away.
At that time, he was still so young, he didn’t understand this emotion, the way he took it so to heart.
He was very angry, furious, resentful.
But he remembered him, thought of him every day.
When he ran into him in the secret realm, he deliberately threw a hideous bug, trying to provoke him into anger.
The young man picked up the bug, looked at it for a long time, then walked up to him. He smiled and told him, “Insects are very cute.”
At that moment, he understood what it meant to mind.
He deliberately caused trouble for him, pretended to be stupid and foolish. He attracted his attention. He wrapped himself tightly in human skin, climbed up to a high position in order to match him.
Even though he knew that he cultivated the Way of the Heartless that what awaited him was despair, he still couldn’t let go.
He wanted to hide everything, deceive the world, deceive Qingshi’s feelings, deceive his own feelings…
However, he failed.
It’s over, it’s all over.
In the end, dirty bugs must return to the dirty mud.
…
“Despair. Give up your human emotions and turn entirely into a demon.”
“Just…what are you?”
“I am your fate.”
Translator’s note: Well, there’s a reason why this arc is called ‘Madness’. Ugh…my heart…
Woah. If only An long was simple or not like he appeared to be. If only An long did not have feelings for him. If he did not have feelings for him….. but then he wouldn’t be An long.
Okay, I am very upset rn 😀
I had mixed feelings about the end of the last chapter but I think I can safely say that my heart breaks for An Long. Thanks for the chapter!
Same him killing SingSing doesn’t make him any less pitiful for me😭😭
I love An Long 😩❤️
Honestly I haven’t liked An Long for a while now but I’m definitely going to be paying close attention to how the author handles this in the future….the author has been good so far with handling Yue Wuhuan’s storyline so I trust that his character and arc will be compelling even if I now think he’s rather repulsive as a person/individual.
I can’t believe he KILLED Song Qingshi?! I was definitely expecting something suspicious to have happened based on Wuhuan’s previous speculations but I definitely didn’t think he’d go as far as manslaughter…I’m not very sympathetic to the half-demon loss of rationality explanation because being angry enough to kill someone over a rejection sounds a lot like gross entitlement of the kind unfortunately seen in real life, even if “real life” behavior is a stupid thing to quibble over given that I started a novel with a yandere tag. The auditory hallucinations also give me a bad taste given that Qingshi didn’t CHOOSE to die, but I’m going to give An Long the benefit of the doubt and assume the hallucinations are meant to attack him & aren’t representative of how he thinks.
Still though, An Long even says that he managed to control himself and refrain from murdering Yue Wuhuan, and I honestly don’t think it’s romantic to have ~lost control~ because your feelings or whatever are that much more intense, or whatever.
On a slightly different tangent….what’s up with the lightning again?! And Wuhuan, you better not start tampering with Qingshi’s emotions/memories or do something strange because of that kiss & your desire to keep Qingshi “pure” …being too controlling will affect both of your future happiness, understand?
Both of these guys perceive reality in very unique ways. Both of these guys need decades of psychedelic-assisted therapy. I’m sure An Long has the perfect gu in a pocket somewhere.
But I will call chickenshit on An Long’s avoidance of the topic. He was too much of a coward to address the issue directly and just continued to fool himself for how many hundreds of years? Ugh.As far as him not attacking Yan Wuhuan, it’s hundreds of years later, so he has been able to develop some control. I guess the auditory hallucinations are supposed to be a cue to how tenuous his control is?
I agree with the decades of therapy comment (because wanting to kill the person you care about is NOT a normal reaction to rejection) & on An Long being a coward and FLEEING THE SCENE when he realized what he’d done, but a minor quibble I have with your timeline is that An Long killing the original owner only happened about a decade ago, right before Yue Wuhuan and Song Qingshi the transmigrator met; the death of the original owner was what allowed our Song Qingshi to come to the immortal realm, so not hundreds of years later.
I’m not sure how much support she received overall, but she kept her eye?
I got the timing confused, so I freely grant you your quibble. 🙂
I must have misread the timeline, because I don’t know what I was thinking. I think I got the original event that led to the split between An Long and Song Qingshi, and the transmigration event. 🙁
Holy sh*t? I felt this chapter in my Nascent Soul???
The writing and translation of this novel is literally miles beyond, the author really knows how to stab at your heart and the excellent translation just drives the stake deeper. I love it SO much
(I have been ghost-reading this story for so long, and this chapter actually grabbed me by the throat and said make an account or perish)
Ikr? This chapter made me realize yet again that this author is a genius, there is no other way to describe it 👏 and the translation is top notch, what more to ask?
Soooo glad I decided to read this novel 👏
ah…this plot twist hurts..
Everytime I read about fate and that a person has to follow a predetermined path or else heaven will be punish you…..I feel so helpless…..I mean what’s the point for them to work so hard if only they are gonna be rejected by the world they are living in… it’s too cruel to give someone false hope, make them work hard to change and then suddenly taking everything away 😔
Ow. Ow. Ow. My malamute is actually a scorpion?
These two.
Now I want all three of them together even more, or a REALLY good storyline for An Long.
So many questions: why the face-off? Why the tribulation?
This is so sad. Please dont heat An Long, there is a reason why he lost control 🙁
I really feel sad for him. To think that the fire on Qingshi didn’t retaliate when he was killed means that AnLong is also important to Qinshi.Thanks for the chapter.
Same.. I like the stupid puppy a lot
»At that moment, he understood what it meant to mind To care; to take to heart« The T/N is left in the text.
Aaah~ I had fun with this chapter :3 I bet I’m the minority with that but idc xD
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
I… I’m not even sure what to say. My mouth is just gaping. My heart and my soul are torn into confused shreds (・–・;)ゞ
I guess my mood can be summarized into: DAMN BOI THEY BOTH NEED SERIOUS THERAPY AND I WILL PROBABLY NEED IT TOO AFTER THIS BOOK QwQ
Absolutely! I’ll need therapy too after reading this book.
I actually have mixed feeling for An Long, he’s pitiful, but killing the one you love can’t be forgiven, even it’s because his demon identity. Pretty sad tbh, I just hope he won’t face Yue Wuhuan again in the future, just go somewhere far and forget about Song Qingshi (pretty impossible tho). Or kill himself, better than killed by Yue Wuhuan. I think he would be the main villain later (?) Hmm..
Whoever it was that predicted An Long was the half-demon in a previous comment section: Sis, please be Sherlock, SO FRIKKIN SMART-
What!! He actually killed Song Qingshi! That’s quite an overreaction after being rejected. It also explains why no mention of Song Qingshi appeared when talking about the plot of the book…
I don’t really feel all that sympathetic to An Long and his plight. The fact that he ran away, even if it was in a panic, over killing someone he supposedly loved, just because he was rejected. It makes me feel that he felt entitled to Qingshi just because they’ve been together for so long. No hate to him, though. These are just my thoughts.
Still, he’s a compelling character to read and I can’t wait for the next chapter. I am really curious why Wuhuan keeps encountering heavenly tribulations/interference. Did something happen in his past?
+1
I feel like An Long, Yue Wuhan & Qingshi aren’t supposed to be at odds with each other. That would explain why a part of Qingshi’s soul came back after An Long killed him
okay, now it hurts
thanks for the chapter~
….fu fuuudge. Wuhuan is cruel. An long is miserable. Waaa I wanna cry for them. T^T
.
I don’t think I was able to say this before but I initially came to this novel with expectation of reading a light-hearted and fluffy scenes… but I also don’t wanna drop this as this is really just so good ;—;
an long my child,,,,,,,, )-: knowing that they get a happy ending is reassuring but it still hurts man
Well…that was a mess. I really do feel sorry for An Long.
I wonder how will this be resolved…it’s making me anxious.
Madness, haha :”D haaaaaaaaaaaa
Wuhuan really lived up to his title as a villain. Now, that revelation of what happened with the original Qingshi and An Long was unexpected. I wonder what the original Qingshi thinks after the confession.
Hmm, I feel like there is something fishy going on…. 🧐
Woah, a lot to unpack in this chapter. An Long finally revealed as the half-demon but didn’t expect the big secret was that he’d killed Qingshi 😱
Thanks for the chapter 💕
So he killed him….
Thanks for the chapter! Hope you have a nice day! ♥️
I really hate this character called herself/himself fate/dao, she/he is such a bitch.
he killed sqs bc of rejection 💀 man’s got some serious ego issues going on
Ah how messed up.. I felt sorry for an long, still do. I feel whatever stopped wuhuan from killing him and made his life living hell is what is literally driving an long crazy now. This novel is kinda hard to read at times. (especially at beginning)
I don’t know if an long can be forgiven and i find this novel unpredictable.
Oh gosh I didn’t think that SQ died,,, but gotta remember what kind of novel this is,,, I also didn’t expect AL to be a half demon??? This chapter was full of new surprises.
My emotions right now : ………… inexplicably confused………… ┻┻︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵┻┻
To me the slave master is still worse, fast death is still better then living in torment until the day you die.
Somehow I feel like An Long and Yue Wuhuan are kinda similar regarding their love towards Song Qingshi because they
are both obsessed with MC
(mostly) try to hide their feelings
An Long accidentally killing MC after getting rejected VS. Yue Wushuang probably going berserk should MC leave him
Just a thought of mine
I feel sad for An Lon but I know he’ll have his happy ending! he finally learned to love bc of SQS. MC thought these 2 people how to love even tho he himslef cultivated the way of heartless, meaning he is naturely good. I hope every goes fine soon omggg the chapter was soooooo intense..
thank u for translating as always we love U LITTLE MUSHROOM
So Yue Wuhuan doesn’t want him to feel desire. That kind of makes me mad and that he wants to control him, if he wants to feel desired you should be allowed to. I guess it’s rooted in the dirty desire he’s used to, but it still sucks.
It’s because Wuhuan feels dirty and unworthy of being loved, so he doesn’t want SQS to want him. Even if that is hard and is hurting himself, Wuhuan is fine as long as his master is ok and doesn’t get affected by him 🥲
my heart aches for the original SQ, bc an long truly did kill him. the only person he trusted and felt understood by killed him. in this way, my heart aches for an long but it makes it easier to not have second male lead syndrome.
Ah, so he didn’t force Qingshi and made Qingshi s**cide. But he killed Qingshi! Wow. That is why Qingshi can took hold the empty vessel. Magnificient. So this is confirmed as the half demon. Can’t wait for the reveal of Mo Yuan and the reason heaven is so wary of Wuhuan.
One is ex slave and one is half demon. Why would people judge them with the same moral compass toward normal people. Protaganist halo really annoying.
Ah, An Long as a character really has some surprising depths. This was a very shocking turn of events. It’s nature vs nurture – a very difficult conflict. I hope he really gets a good ending despite this hiccup. He shouldn’t be deathly punished for his nature.
So far I couldn’t bring myself to like Yuhuan. He truly lives up his name as villain in this novel (and to think he is the endgame makes me crying over An Long)
An Long is not fated with Song Qingshi. And the fact that he accidentally killed Song Qingshi makes it more heart wrenching. Some people cannot sympathise with An Long, but imagine being half demon, with your mind keep being in distraught, its easy for him to lose control. What a excellent plot twist by the author. I cant wait to see how things to be unfold in next chapters 😭 (ps I still An Long after this chapter)
They all cray cray but somewhat I’m not okay that the author is leaving SQ in the dark of all this matters. I find the all too clueless SQ less and less appealing. 😔
So, in the original story Song Qingshi’s ending was at An Long’s hand ??? He didn’t even try to use his fire to prevent the incident..
Ehh yeah… probably SQ doesn’t want to kill his only friend then, also SQ realize he already made his friend heart broken ;(
Ah this is… heart breaking, but also made me crazy 😭 this chaps contain the answer of the questions i had. I love this story sm 😭
an long’s self loathing is making me wanna kill myself <//3
Loved this An long plot twist, and also love how we were thinking Wuhuan would have trouble when he finds out of the way of the heartless but instead he loved it 😆 now I wonder what he will do now to “fix that deviation” of their makeout session lol
ahhh AL, poor thing. I can’t help but feel sorry for him. his fate as a half demon was to become mad and as a child he wasn’t able to develop well. combining both of it led to what he became. :’)
I do wanna know what the original QS felt when AL killed him tho…
I just had this thought, is the end game AL & ZH? since author did say they both got a good end. xD
damn I shouldve thought out my comments first. HAHAHAHA.
I mean no one else was mentioned that left an impact so I’m just guessing. if they are, I’m curious to see how they do end up tgt.
and I have to say, I’m enjoying this novel quite a lot. the plot twist so far is amazing. I love it, there really isn’t any wasted info. respect.
Eu gostei da luta ter sido interrompida, não quero que An Long morra…
Eu esqueci isso da morte, qsó dar pra ir quando um morre, não pensei q o Song tinha morrido antes, e então essa foi a coisa horrível que An Long fez…
An Long as a character is so well-written, deep and complex. To really understand him one have to actually think beyond the surface level and really pay attention to the details. I love him so much though I see there’s a lot of people that hate him because they passed their judgement based on just the surface level of his character. He is like the Mu Qing(from tgcf) of this story lol. I have a tendency to favour complex characters so I cried a lot whenever it’s his scene. Never once I cried about SQS and YWH ever since I first started reading this story🙂.
aww :(( but i like An long quite a bit, he’s such a golden retriever bro :((( waiting for his happy ending
that was cruel of Wuhuan, but i can’t hate him either An long hang in there!!
Dang… so that scene of Qingshi rescuing Wuhuan and wrapping his fur around him was literally stomping on A Long’s heart wow.
So much trauma in this chili tonight and no one has any good coping mechanisms I’m screaming
an long💔
