  1. QINGTONG IS SO CUTE!! He’s adorable even when drinking vinegar! Also, LMAO @ that whole green “hat” scene xD

    (Btw, tyvm to all those who give coffees bc us broke ppl are also able to enjoy the benefits bc of your contributions <333)

    Thanks for the chapter! 🙂

  2. He should hopefully know the truth once he sees the pendant?

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  3. I hope master doesn’t destroy the pendant, it’s for him after all. Also, I don’t like that white fox that much, it feels like there’s something fishy about him.

    And don’t even get me started on that dirty Taishi! Ew… shivers

    But on a lighter note, had Duantian realized that he loves Xiaozhao? Well, he calls him Baobei, right? So… 🤷

  4. Thank you for the extra chapters!!

    Who is Zi Mo again? I can’t keep track of Xuanji’s disciples 😂

  5. Qingtong is gonna throw away the pendant?! Haha. I wanna read his reaction when Mo Tianliao tells him It’s not for the fox.

    Thanks for the chapter!
