If Iโ€™m not mistaken this refers to a type of Nephrite also called mutton fat jade. The most highly praised and prized variety of jade.

  1. Meng Hu is so lovable!! While he’s thinking about protect his shidi, Mo Tianliao is thinking about bully him… ๐Ÿคฃ

    Ehhh. Qingtong treats all his disciples like this, huh? Mo Tianliao won’t feel special anymore.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  2. Omg. By the authorโ€™s note it seems that this disciple is also a spiritual beast of sorts ๐Ÿคฉ

    Thanks for the great translation โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

  3. Haha Lord Kitty doesn’t disappoint.. and Meng Hu feels like he has a protagonist halo haha those kind of silly protagonist and are hella strong.. based on the mini theater, it seems like Lord Kitty’s sect is almost for spiritual beast that can shape shift to humans.. the sect leader is the dog/wolf that played with Lord Kitty right? Hehe so cute.. also at the end of the mini theater.. da shixiong and MTL will be friends (like forever) hahaha hnnnggghhh such fluff

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!~ ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿ™‡

  4. Is Da Shixiong’s ‘Hu’ the same as ‘tiger’ i wonder~

    Why do i feel this sect is Foster’s Home for Spiritual Beasts ๐Ÿ˜‚โœจ

  5. Now I’m starting to wonder whether XZ was a cub when MTL found him or he had to undo a blood contract for some other demonic beast and his soul was unstable thus he couldn’t keep his human shape or something along those lines ๐Ÿค”

  6. Ahh, why did you tear off the branch huhu. The poor tree. So…if most of the sect masters and direct disciples are spiritual/demonic beasts, they’re not afraid of being discovered by the other disciples that they picked out from the pubic?

  7. meng hu in mandarin is ็Œ›่™Žใ€‚The character โ€œ่™Žโ€ means tiger and โ€œ็Œ›โ€ is fierce/ferocious. So the literally meaning is fierce tiger but his character here is so like a mix of husky and golden retriever ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ (pardon my limited Chinese knowledge)
