“There is nothing wrong with saving people. Why would the heavens condemn me for doing the right thing?”
based teen Xie lian
Uh…but what if the heavens do condemn you? “Then it is the heavens who are wrong. Why would I apologize to those who are wrong?”
And thus, the crown prince replied with his now-famous line: “Body in the abyss, heart in paradise.”
… no comment
Yet this Royal Highness was no doubt the darling of the heavens. Whatever he wanted, he received; whatever he wanted to do, he succeeded. He wanted to ascend and become a god, so at the age of seventeen, he did just that.
spoiled prince heheh
If it was said that Xianle was originally hanging on by a thread, then the crown prince came and cut it directly.
YOUCH???
When the people call you a god, you are a god. If they call you crap, you are crap. You are whatever they say you are. It had always been thus.
The name “grand believer” usually referred to one of three types of people. The first type were the rich, those who paid for incense and religious services and built temples. The second type were missionaries, people who promoted the religion and gave sermons. The third type were believers who possessed absolute faith in both heart and body.
“‘Little Shop of Chance Encounters,’ what an interesting name.”
What a cute name for their first into omg
“You’re His Royal Highness the Crown Prince,” Nan Feng said. “You’re the justice of the Mortal Realm, the center of the world,” Fu Yao said.
Obvious mfers
There had always been fewer female believers than male in the martial gods’ stream; only Xie Lian himself was an exception, eight hundred years ago. However, the reason for this exception was very simple, and it was also only two words: good-looking.
canonically sexy Xie lian?????
If he had to be honest, what Fu Yao said was true. That girl’s face was incomparably flat, looking exactly like someone had leveled it with a slap. It would almost be an insult to say her features were plain; if they must be described, then only “crooked nose and slanted eyes” could be used.
Tell us how u really feel goddmn
Fu Yao grumbled something, but it wasn’t clear. Either way, it definitely wasn’t praising him for his fortitude,
SMD fu yao
The original correct writing used the characters “Ju Yang,” which meant “Perfect Sun.” The incident that warped them happened many years ago. During that time, a king was constructing a great number of temples and palaces. To demonstrate his faith and sincerity, he personally drafted the titles for every temple or palace’s establishment plaque. But when it came to the Palace of Ju Yang, for some reason, he used characters for “Ju Yang” that meant “Tremendous Masculinity.”4
perfect sun to big dick general is an objective upgrade wdym
“I don’t think your generals would ever behave like this. If you two act so indecorously, you’ll ruin their reputations.” When those words were spoken, the faces of the other two changed to something indiscernible.
HAHHHHAHHAHAA
When he entered the tea shop, the tea master chided, “Remember to pay for that pillar.” Thus, when Xie Lian sat down, he turned to Nan Feng. “Remember to pay for that pillar.” “…” replied Nan Feng.
“If we can’t use women, then we have to use men,” Fu Yao said. Nan Feng said, “Where are we going to find a man who’s willing to…” He trailed off, and the two gazed over. Xie Lian was still sitting there, smiling. “???”
A woman’s form was much daintier. After he put on the dress, while the waist was surprisingly just fine, he was severely restricted in raising his arms and lifting his feet. When the movement was too wide, the robes ripped. Just as he was looking everywhere to see where the fabric was torn, a voice came from the entrance of the temple.
slutty waist Xie lian???
Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,
what else is new
Xie Lian sat poised within the sedan and instructed gently, “Strangle them to death.”
Forshadowing
The owner of that hand was rather patient, however, and incredibly well mannered.
This man who had come grasped his hand but didn’t squeeze too hard, as if he was afraid of hurting him, somehow giving the impression of taking the utmost care.
they need to kiss
No matter how high on his guard Xie Lian was, to be treated this way, he couldn’t help but think: If he was a real groom, then he’d genuinely be a most gentle and considerate one.
Those black leather boots were wrapped tight around long, slender legs, looking mightily beautiful as they walked.
kissboy
Although it wasn’t the time for it, Xie Lian couldn’t help but praise inwardly that he really was quite thoughtful. But at the same time, he was also very curious.
he walked leisurely on, appearing for no reason to be bewitchingly romantic and deeply affectionate.
nah xl was whipped from day 1
“I dare you to feel her up.” “What’s there to be scared of?” Xiao-Pengtou said.
when does he die
“Thank you, thank you. Please support my act with money if you have the means, or with applause if you haven’t… Wait?!”
I wanna know what feng xin thinks about this
While he hadn’t interacted much with this girl Xiao-Ying, hadn’t even spoken with her much, Xie Lian still knew that she was a kindhearted girl despite her ugly appearance.
DAMN NARRATOR LET HER DIE IN PEACE
The so-called Four Famous Tales referred to the extravagant stories of the deeds of four gods prior to their ascension: The Young Lord Who Poured Wine, The Prince Who Pleased God, The General Who Snapped His Sword, and The Princess Who Slit Her Throat.
“The Four Calamities are: Ship-Sinking Black Water, Night-Touring Green Lantern, White-Clothed Calamity, and Crimson Rain Sought Flower.
The name Hua Cheng5 was very obviously fake, and his appearance was most likely fake too. In the rumors, he was sometimes a twisted boy given to capricious mood changes, sometimes a gentle and mannered handsome young man, sometimes a gorgeous seductress with a venomous heart, anything goes!
fem huacheng??? say lessss
Some say he was born without a right eye and was bullied and humiliated for it since birth, so he was filled with hatred for the world. Some say he was a young soldier who died in a lost battle for his country and later came to walk the earth in resentment. Some say he was a fool who was tormented by the death of his love; some even say he was a monster. In the most outrageous version, supposedly—only supposedly!—Hua Cheng ascended and became a god but immediately jumped back down on his own and became a ghost. But that version wasn’t widespread.
For example, his behavior was unpredictable: sometimes he would carry out a massacre in cold blood, and sometimes he would do odd acts of kindness.
Hua Cheng could recite the classics and debate the contemporaries. He was sometimes polite, sometimes vicious, sometimes unyielding, sometimes incisive, and sometimes quibbling. He was impenetrably sharp, his arguments flawless. He verbally abused the civil gods from top to bottom, past to present, and infuriated them so much that they puked blood and washed the skies red.
Among the thirty-five gods who were challenged, the two who declined were General Xuan Zhen, Mu Qing, and General Nan Yang, Feng Xin.
hmmmm HMMMM
Was that little silver butterfly really that scary? Xie Lian wondered. It wasn’t that bad… It was kind of cute.
“That really is quite interesting.” “I read this pleasant verse in passing and thought I’d share with everyone.” “Here’s an effective little cure for back and leg pains; thought I’d share with everyone.”
awh boomer Xie lian
And one day, on a whim, he suddenly thought: If no one worships me, I’ll worship myself!
how progressive of you
He looked so carefree and at ease that it made Xie Lian a little envious.
Guarantee hes near shitting his pants rn
Xie Lian replied, “No reason. You say whatever and I think whatever, everything is whatever, that’s all.”
always so eloquent
Xie Lian sighed. “It certainly is painful to think about, to have given everything for love and lose everything in return.” The youth laughed out loud. “What’s there to be afraid of? If it were me, I’d have no regrets giving away my ashes. Who cares if they want me to disintegrate or just scatter the ashes for fun!”
thats so him of him to say
San Lang sighed. “My parents were quarrelling and kicked me out. I walked for a long time but had nowhere to go. I almost passed out from hunger on the streets before finding somewhere at random to lie down.”
there'd be only one book if xl could remember half the shit that happened those 800 years
Xie Lian asked, “Are you all right?” San Lang propped up his chin. “Of course not. I’m scared.” Although there wasn’t a single trace of fright detectable in his voice, Xie Lian still comforted him. “Don’t be scared. You’re behind me, nothing will harm you.” The youth smiled,
giggling and kicking his feet fr
This left hand was long and shapely, clean and elegant, a beautiful hand. It wasn’t a soft and meek kind of beauty, rather, there was strength hidden beneath the muscles. It was a hand that one wouldn’t want to have choking their throat.
AYOO??
In the past, it had always been Xie Lian who told others “It’s all right, it’s not too bad.” Hearing it from someone else for the first time gave him complicated feelings.
:/
Although San Lang didn’t say anything and merely stared at him, Xie Lian hadn’t felt this embarrassed in centuries.
famously thick skinned Xie lian??? word
There was a small line of a tattoo on his arm, something written in strange characters. San Lang noticed his gaze and pulled down his sleeves, then smiled. “It was done when I was young.”
fake nonchalant final boss
“Another evil cultivator from the Central Plains named Fangxin. He has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Banyue.” Xie Lian widened his eyes and continued to listen.
Spoilerss
Fu Yao smiled without mirth. “This young master sure knows a lot.” San Lang smiled back. “It’s nothing. You just don’t know very much, that’s all.” “…” Xie Lian smiled in spite of himself, amused by San Lang’s sharp tongue.
and the sass off begins
San Lang, stay close to me, don’t get lost.” “Okay,” San Lang responded, looking obedient and good.
LMAOOO?@??!
