Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial BeingCh221 - Appearance in the Mirror

“If he doesn’t accept it, then I’ll give him a better place to go to. However, once he feels aggrieved outside, suffers, and gets bullied, he would probably think about how well I treated him. When he grows up a little more next year…”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t finish talking. He walked over to the mountain wall and used it for support, taking some time to settle down as if he couldn’t continue standing any longer before continuing, “There are a lot of misunderstandings between us, and they only grow deeper with the passing of each day, so I can no longer continue just being brothers with him. I don’t want to deceive myself or let him be unaware of anything, much less misunderstand me. He wants to know what I think, so I let him understand it thoroughly.” 5moYAT

Naturally, he knew that his relationship with Yan Tianhen wasn’t stable right now, as if they were walking on a tightrope with the risk of falling off at any time. It would be most suitable to say it in a few years, but he couldn’t hold it back anymore.

Soul Bead was speechless. He only said after a while passed, “You’re on your own.”

From Yan Tianhen’s reaction, Lin Xuanzhi’s future seemed worrying ah!

Yan Tianhen ran out desperately; his heart was about to jump right up to his throat. His lips seemed to be filled with the sensation of the gentle yet overbearing kiss Lin Xuanzhi planted on him, and there was even a little bit of a cold rosin fragrance that belonged to his Dage alone. SlwkVG

“Ah Hen!” When Duan Yuyang heard the noise, he stood up at once and rushed over impatiently to grab him. He looked him up and down to see how he was doing.

Yan Tianhen looked at Duan Yuyang, his mouth opening and closing yet without speaking a single word.

Duan Yuyang frowned. “Why is your face still so red? Have the effects of the medication not waned yet?”

Yan Tianhen rubbed his own face — it was so hot that it seemed like it was burning, and he was instantly reminded of Lin Xuanzhi’s action.

ekwG2y

“N-nothing.” Yan Tianhen stammered.

Although Duan Yuyang was a little doubtful, he was relieved to see that there wasn’t much of an issue with his arm or neck.

“Fortunately, this small face has returned to normal.” Duan Yuyang said while feeling greatly comforted, “If you were to feel any discomfort next time, you have to say it in advance. Otherwise, if anything were to happen, I’d be so frightened that my heart and liver would explode.”

Duan Yuyang patted his chest with some lingering trepidation. qTlX8j

Yan Tianhen could vaguely recall what he seemed like before and scratched his head, embarrassed. “It won’t happen again in the future, thank you Yuyang Gege and Yuan…uh.”

Under Duan Yuyang’s askance stare, Yan Tianhen swallowed his remaining words.

But Yuan Tianwen tossed Yan Tianhen a friendly smile.

“What happened to your face?” A crisp female voice traveled over. UbG30j

Yan Tianhen looked opposite; a girl adorned in a light yellow robe walked over.

Beside her was Wan Linghua, who was frowning slightly. She yanked the girl’s arm. “Fangfei, don’t be rude.”

Jin Fangfei stuck her tongue out. “Isn’t Shijie curious? All those things on his face look like he had been poisoned, can’t I be concerned?”

Wan Linghua was a little embarrassed as she said to Yan Tianhen, “I apologise.” OT6qHu

It wasn’t Yan Tianhen’s first time being pointed at by others inquiring about the things on his face. Although Jin Fangfei was frank, she had no intention of humiliating him, so Yan Tianhen didn’t think much of it.

Wan Linghua’s glance swept across Yan Tianhen’s face and her heart couldn’t help but jerk — he was the one who responded most severely to the medicinal rain, but now, not even a trace of the medicinal rain could be found. His skin was both radiant and delicate, as if it had been reborn, though the cracks on it showed no improvement.

But other people’s faces still don’t seem to have changed much even after a day and a night had passed. Lin Xuanzhi must have spent quite a bit on Yan Tianhen. But what wonderful method did that Lin Xuanzhi use?

“Does it hurt?”

“No.”

“Is it itchy?” 5tcbq3

“They’re not itchy either.” Yan Tianhen smiled. “Aside from it looking a little ugly, there’s no sensation to it.”

Jin Fangfei objected, “Don’t say that. All external displays are the manifestations of the body’s internal conditions. There must be poison within your internal organs.”

“Poison?” Duan Yuyang’s expression changed slightly.

He has always thought that Yan Tianhen was born like this, or he could have suffered some kind of injury. He simply did not think that those uneven scar-like cracks on his face would actually be caused by poison! OYQ15y

Wan Linghua nodded. “When I felt his pulse, I could sense an overbearing poison Qi piling up in his meridians and heart, but pray forgive my ignorance, I couldn’t determine what was happening. If there’s a chance, my Shifu could take a look at him.”

“Xuanzhi.” At this moment, Shen Rubing’s pleasantly surprised voice rang out.

Everyone looked into the depths of the cave, only to see Lin Xuanzhi walking over with his usual expression.

Yan Tianhen immediately turned his head away, feeling as if there was nowhere to place his limbs as he was extremely nervous. NoiUZT

Yet Lin Xuanzhi merely cast a glance at Yan Tianhen before turning to Lin Zezhi. “How do we plan to move next?”

Before taking Yan Tianhen in with him to treat his wounds, he instructed Lin Zezhi to decide where to go next for the time being.

Lin Zezhi felt valued. “This mountain is both tall and steep, and there are apparently a lot of fierce beasts in the mountain, so I’m afraid it won’t be easy to cross. But on the way back, it’ll be easy to encounter that strange rain again, so after our discussion, he decided to temporarily…be on standby where we are.”

Lin Xuanzhi laughed softly. “Standby where we are probably wasn’t something you thought of ba?” Ad1rXh

Lin Zezhi wasn’t someone who would wait in place. If it were up to him to decide, he would definitely rush into the mountains to take the risk.

“It was my decision.” Shen Rubing coughed twice and covered her mouth. “A lot of us are affected by the poisonous rain and have not recovered. With our low morale, it’s not suitable for us to go on a long journey by foot, so we might as well rest here for a moment first.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “That’s good too.”

Wu Shiyin, who was next to Shen Rubing, scratched the itch on her face and was utterly discomfited. “Lin Dage, at the very least we’re all on the same boat now. If you have any methods of alleviating this thing, why don’t you say it out to share it with everyone?” sI dfb

When Lin Xuanzhi heard this, he knew what she was trying to say. “I only have one bottle of medicine that can be used to alleviate the pill poison.”

“Who would believe that?!” Wu Shiyin was used to taking care of her appearance. After seeing how her face was festering, she turned quite unstable. “Even if you only had one bottle, it would be a waste to give it to that ugly kid!”

With a “pa”, Wu Shiyin was smacked in the stomach by something heavy. She was just about to jump up and chide someone when she heard Yan Tianhen say, “Who did you call ugly? Shouldn’t you look in the mirror to see how you look like now? And you still dare to say that of others!”

It turned out that Yan Tianhen had thrown a small bronze mirror at her. OqrKcG

Wu Shiyin subconsciously looked down and just so happened to see the magnified face in the mirror — a festered face filled her vision, and there were even maggots crawling all over her ferocious-looking face. It was utterly hideous, and would make people want to puke upon seeing it!

“Ah–!” When Wu Shiyin saw it, she instantly shrieked. Both her eyes rolled up and she actually fainted straight away.

“This mirror…” Lin Xuanzhi found it interestingly odd, so he picked up the mirror and looked at his face.

He had thought that he would look like a fierce ghost, but he didn’t expect to see eyebrows that looked like they were drawn with “dai”, fair and glossy skin, lips as red as cinnabar — it was clearly his original appearance. ed46Mo

Shen Rubing approached Lin Xuanzhi out of curiosity as well. She leaned against his arm and peeped out to see what she looked like inside — her face was distorted with yellow teeth, a dark face and bulging eyes, seeming just like an ugly ghost.

Shen Rubing’s expression darkened and she immediately moved away. She scolded, “What kind of thing is that, isn’t it too horrible?!”

Everyone’s interest in the mirror was piqued one after another. For a moment, every one of them moved over to look at their reflections.

Some people saw their original appearances, while others looked ugly to the extreme. cwVDzJ

Duan Yuyang held the mirror and looked at himself happily. “Ah Hen, why would this mirror of yours reflect ugly appearances sometimes, and beautiful ones at others? What’s the trick to it?”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “There’s my soul imprint on this mirror. My Daddy said before that as long as the person likes me, their reflections would look good. If anyone’s a bad person who detests me and even scolds me, their reflections would turn into a pig head fierce ghost.”

Duan Yuyang, “…”

This was a little fucking amazing. i0prLZ

Yuan Tianwen also took a look at himself in the mirror.

He saw a pig-headed self.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yuan Tianwen, “…”

Duan Yuyang looked at Yuan Tianwen silently. Yuan Tianwen said calmly, “Ah Hen must not have told the truth. I can swear to the heavens that I have never been discontent with you, and have never said anything bad about you.” 2ePWOp

After Yan Tianhen was exposed, he didn’t feel awkward and chuckled instead. “Or it could be that whoever I like would look good, while whoever I dislike would look ugly lo.”

Other pupils who had ugly reflections had expressed their disdain for Yan Tianhen in various ways; especially Shen Rubing, whose expression turned even uglier as her dissatisfaction with Yan Tianhen grew.

Even if one knows that the reflection in the mirror was fake, after looking at such a “countenance”, one would naturally be in a bad mood.

On the contrary, Lin Zezhi was quite elated, though he felt a little guilty as well — he had always looked down upon Yan Tianhen, but he didn’t expect Yan Tianhen to not hold a grudge against him and not dislike him in the slightest. sTxWjQ

He decided to treat Yan Tianhen better in the future.

Lin Xuanzhi walked over. “Daddy gave you this?”

Yan Tianhen hid the mirror behind him. “Yeah, so you can’t take it away.”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled slightly, “Looks like it’s not that Ah Hen doesn’t like Dage.” R2gW4p

Yan Tianhen’s face turned as red as a tomato at once. He muttered, “I was just spouting nonsense just now. I don’t like you, I hate you!’

Lin Xuanzhi just smiled and didn’t reply to that. “Won’t Ah Hen take a look at your own reflection?”

Yan Tianhen seemed to recall something and his body instantly stiffened, red clouds still scattered over his face. “What’s there to see about myself? Wouldn’t it just be the same as always.”

Lin Xuanzhi chuckled softly. “I don’t believe that.” lq4BXY

Duan Yuyang was extremely curious as well about what Yan Tianhen would look like in the mirror, so he moved over to join in the fun and coaxed, “Ah Hen, take a look ma. I want to know what you look like too. It can’t be that the Ah Hen in the mirror is too unpleasant so you don’t dare to let us see ba?”

With eyes full of expectation and encouragement, Lin Xuanzhi stared at Yan Tianhen. Coupled with Duan Yuyang’s coaxing, he gritted his teeth and took the mirror out. “Take a look then, who’s afraid of you guys? Don’t let it frighten you!”

He aimed the mirror at himself.

In the mirror, a beautiful face that seemed androgynous because it had not yet matured appeared; with graceful brows, a fair face that glistened beautifully, a charming pair of bright eyes; the reflection looked like it was smiling even without smiling, while the slightly uplifted corners of his eyes and lips looked like they were seducing people’s souls at all times — he was truly an extraordinary beauty that made others find it difficult to hold themselves back. CdvJVw

Lin Xuanzhi’s gaze turned a little darker, and the corners of his lips involuntarily turned upward.

Duan Yuyang looked utterly baffled, and even Yuan Tianwen was stunned for a while.

Yan Tianhen flipped the mirror and kept it in his storage bag, saying with a red face, “I already said that I didn’t want to show you guys. How is it? Shocked? Do you feel inferior? You’re scared now ba?”

Duan Handsomeass Yuyang: We’ll talk again when you don’t look that idiotic in Ah Hen’s mirror

Announcement from Zryuu!

Hi everyone! This might be a bit sudden, but I’ve actually been considering this for quite awhile now. 6ofhjN

I’m quitting translating. There are a few reasons contributing to this reason, but long story short, I just don’t find translating worth it anymore :loading:

I won’t be gone immediately cause I’m still sitting on my stockpiles (I’ve actually been sitting on my stockpiles for abt 1-2 months now lmao…), but once they run out, that’ll be it.

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive, I honestly wouldn’t have continued for this long without you guys. But, and idk how many times this has been reiterated, translating is very tough and time-consuming without getting much in return. Readers might spend just 1 minute, 2 minutes or 5 minutes reading through one chapter, but translating, editing, proofreading, formatting and uploading that one chapter takes hours. And hobbyist translators do this mostly FOC, which is amazing in and of itself. Yet they may sometimes receive flak not just from readers, but also other translators as well. I have not personally been involved in such cases, but I’ve seen enough to know that I don’t want to make my life even more difficult by suffering from any of this. It’s like giving out free lemonade at your own cost and having people come up to you saying that you’re not giving out enough or that your lemonade isn’t good enough.

I’ve said a lot, but I guess the main takeaway I want people to get from this is to cherish fan translators more. They’re probably the main reason for the surge in the BL community growth in the past 1-2 years, and they’re doing all this of their own volition and at the expense of their own precious time.

  1. Oh my. I’ll respect your decision to stop translating and thank you for doing it until now. It’s so sad but when you’re no longer happy on what your doing, better stop it than hating it when you continue to do it. Anyways, thank you so so much.

  2. I’m sad that you are leaving but thank you for all the translations you’ve done so far, seeing these updates has always made my day

  3. Whatever makes you happy but, dang, I’m sad. 🙁 😭😭😭 I can’t say I’ve read all BL translators’ works but, as a reader-only perspective, almost all of you seem decent personality-wise. 🤔

    So, gambatte!!!😉 Be well, do well and be happy. 😹😹😹😹

    That said, consider me begging you not to go….😭😭😭😭😭

    Tnks for the update.

    • +1, about everything said here.

      This comes abruptly. I’m so sad you won’t be doing this anymore, your translations are so good and fluent, it’s not easy to find others on such a level. Reading you was a pleasure, and I’m so sorry that you felt like it isn’t worth it anymore.

      As someone who tried more than once to do what you did for so long and so well, I know a bit of the effort you put into it, and I can’t thank you enough.

      Forgive my selfishness if I join in asking you to reconsider, but since you already decided think of this as just a simple wish, which is dictated only by the desire to enjoy more of your beautiful work.

      I don’t know if someone will pick this up, but I know they will have to work hard to keep up to your standard.

      Thank you very much for all the work you did until now!

      You made my evening every time you released a chapter. Love you ❤

    • Wow, ini sangat tiba2, tapi, smua kembali kepada anda, saya juga akan merasa sedih, bila saya melakukan sesuatu tapi tidak dihargai,

      Yang penting, saya ucapkan terima kasih sudah menerjemahkan ini, dari awal, doa saya, semoga di masa depan, anda akan menjadi lebih baik😆😆

  4. It is sad to hear that you withdraw from the translation, but one should only do what he likes and enjoys …. take care and thank you very much for all the effort and energy you spent so far

  5. aye thank you for all the contribution in translating. it’s definitely better to take a break or just leave if something stops bringing you joy. as a person who once worked with scanlation i totally understand you that not many think of the time-consuming process that goes behind the scenes of a single release, that’s why my heart goes to you and for all the work you’ve done so far which is immense💛

  6. Im sorry to hear that I love your work and was really looking forward to reading this novel :'(

  7. · º · (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥) ‧º · ̊ ̊

  8. thank you for all your efforts! i’ve been reading translations for a while now and your name pops up very frequently, so thank you for all the hard work you have put in!! (this may be a bit rude, but i have to ask, is there anyone picking up rscb from you?)

  9. Thank you for all you did and good luck in whatever you will do in the future ♥♥♥

  10. Do whatever makes you happy!! I just want to ask, will anyone take over this translation after you?

  11. Thank you so much for all that you have done. I just want to ask will anyone take over this translation after you?

  12. I’m sorry you will be quitting translation, but I understand. I’ve done a little myself a few years ago and it can often be frustrating and sometimes thankless work. You’ve done a beautiful job, though. Thank you for all your hard work. We’ll miss you.

  13. No precious Translate. It was nice having you thanks for all that you have done.

  14. I’m sad to hear you’re going but I wish you well. I have two questions.

    1. Are you going to release the stockpile as a mass release or a chapter a day til you run out?

    2. Has anyone expressed interest in taking up your projects? I know since you have officially stated you are giving up the translation someone else can take it but have you posted on forums or Novel updates that it’s up for grabs?

    Once again ty for all your hard work.

  15. Aw, sad to hear you’re stopping translating but if it doesn’t bring you joy, it’s best to stop. Thanks for translating and introducing us to series like Seizing Dreams and RSCB!

  16. Thank you for all your hard work so far. I appreciate that you’ve shared so much for free so we could enjoy these stories too.

  17. I’m a little heartbroken to hear but I 100% understand what you are saying. I’m thankful for the novels you’ve brought us will miss your fast and high quality translation.

  18. Wishing you well in the future, and thank you for your past translation work!

  19. Thank you for your help with translating! No worries I appreciate the time that you shared working on this.

  20. Damn, i wanna say “WhAt? Why? U quitting?” n etc… But still, u are human.. N u have freedom to do so, i can’t be selfish hope u can continue to translate until the story done…. But still, u have continue ur life… Be well

  21. Thank you for all your contributions in this community zryuu-san. Your updates always made my day 🙏🏻 I’m so sad to hear this but I respect your decision, why keep it if doesn’t spark joy anymore, right? I hope you can find another things that make you happy 😊

    once again thank you very much! o(_ _;o)

  22. We’ll miss you (இ﹏இ`。) Thank you for everything you’ve done for us! But goddamit. This is why people need to get their head out of their a** and stop acting so entitled! Be appreciative. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ I see the same crap happening to other translators. But I just hope you (and other translators) don’t let these people bring you down; because for every crappy person who is being a demanding a-hole, there are ten people who love and appreciate your work.

  23. 😢😢😭😭 why you to have to do it😭😭

    but but i understand after you write about it

  24. Thanks so much for all that you’ve done! It’s because of translators like you that everyone gets to enjoy novels that would otherwise be unread. It’s amazing enough that there are people like you that do it for free (and rightfully accept “donations” which should be huge for all the time and effort that’s spent). So thank you thank you thank you and good luck with all your future endeavours! I leave with a question – will another translator pick up RSCB afterwards?

  25. Muchas gracias por todo lo que has hecho hasta ahora, aunque es triste es tu decisión.

    Espero que tus próximos proyectos se encaminen bien.

  26. use a translator, please. it is important.

    Здравствуйте! Я умею говорить по-английски, но мне проще написать на русском, простите за неудобство🙇‍♀️

    Мне очень нравится читать то, что вы переводите. Я влюбилась в новеллу! И мне очень нравится ваш перевод, поэтому мне было безумно грустно, когда я увидела, что вам так некомфортно переводить. На самом деле, мне хотелось расплакаться или схватить англо-русский словарь и написать много вдохновляющих и сочувствующих комментариев!!

    Ваш перевод очень хорош. Я и сама занималась переводом новеллы, но только сразу с китайского, поэтому я понимаю, что это и в самом деле очень большая работа.

    Как читатель могу сказать вот что. Да, прочитав главу, многие уходят, не оставляя комментариев. Но, показываю пальцем на себя, эффект остается очевидный.

    Желаю вам хорошо отдохнуть, а затем снова подумать над идеей продолжить перевод, так как проект, который переводишь, становится родным и начинаешь скучать по нему ;'(

  27. I’m sad your quiting it, I like this novel a lot and your translation is very good, I really like it. Thank you for all your effort and your translations. I’ll still wait for you 🙁

  28. Thanks for the chapter as usually. It is a very good translation actually .

    I think more people need to become part of the patreon and that would help as well.

    Will sign up starting November . Otherwise was a pleasure.

  29. Thanks for taking your time to translate so far.. I have to say that this novel has been making my days. Some people like me have a lot going on in their lives but it is novels like this that get us to enjoy. However, you find that we can not understand the original language.. That is how great the work you do is.. Thank you very much!!

  30. YES

    I KNEW AH HEN WAS BEAUTIFUL

    I’m pretty sure that all those experts that called Ah Hen a beauty could see through the poison

    🤗

  31. Wow….. this is very sad. Thank you for all your effort… although you wont read this 🙁 it is true all you say. Thank you !! Gosh I wish I knew Chinese now and 6 more languages

  32. Soul Bead was speechless. He only said after a while passed, “You’re on your own.”Oh man- thank you soul bead. THIS!!!! This absolute predatory dipstick… GAH- I just wanna slap that face- just once. I will accept the ruin that follows- just one slap?Also dear translator- THANK you for the fantastic translations! Sorry to hear you were having a rough time- and for sure find the projects that feel most rewarding!
