The egotistical dragon Xue Xian and the memory-wiped monk Xuanmin are still stuck together—and so are the many mysteries trailing in their wake. Their ghostly companion, Jiang Shining, seeks peace for his departed parents, but first he must find the last of his living kin. Meanwhile, Lu Nianqi, now empowered and burning for answers, is determined to uncover the truth behind the deadly tomb on Fentou Island that took his brother’s life.
The party’s quest takes a bizarre turn when they hitch a ride with a troupe of theatrical ghosts—only to end up in a cursed village overrun with restless spirits. The deeper they dig, the more the threads begin to tangle…and point toward a single origin.
Why does everything seem to circle back to Xue Xian’s downfall? And what role does the enigmatic monk at his side truly play? One thing’s for sure: If they don’t kill each other first,
It had to end in a cliffhanger! My fujoshi self can't handle the anticipation!! (˶˃⤙˂˶) hehe
So many answers were given in this volume and so many are still left unanswered. I'm loving Xue Xian more and more! He's such a badass and that final scene!!!!!!! What a badass dragon! (૭ 。•̀ ᵕ •́。 )૭
This volume made me laugh so hard! Xue Xian is such a dork! His inner dialogue and conundrums are hilarious! This venerable one indeed! ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
And then he has Xuanmin wrapped around his finger hehe. Xuanmin has been the biggest mystery. But seeing how he's so alike Lan Wangji from MDZS makes me swoon for this bald donk- I mean monk! I loved seeing his jealous salty sides, his worries come out more. He truly will do anything for Xue Xian. Oof! My heart!! ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )
They're chemistry is insane! They have this connection that can't be described in words. It's all about their actions and the things they do for each other. I need them to kiss now, please! ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵) ♡(˶˘ ³˘(´͈ ᵕ `͈˶)
That one scene with the siblings had me bawling my eyes out!! What a incredible moment. This novel is so good! Easily making it into my S Tier! We will see after i finish the story.
What I love the most about this story is how it emphasizes that good karma will come to you if you do good unto others. And bad karma will if you do evil. There were so many heartwarming moments that the side characters had because of doing good to others and helping one another. Every side character is so remarkable and memorable! Not one is boring.
I appreciate the tasteful sense of humour in the "Copper Coins" books... The author doesn't try too hard to create a gag and it results in the type of comedy that flows really well. Although the array stuff gets a bit repetetive, the dynamics of the journeying party mostly made up for it! The troupe arc was sweet, well written, and somehow surprising.
But the highlight was definitely the gradual progression of the MCs' relationship. Xuanmin is so cold and detached, it was difficult for me to imagine how their story would go... And I'm still hesitant to relax, considering there's only one volume left to tie up the loose ends, lol
Still. This was a fun, good-paced read, and the frequent Buddhist references are a good change from the usual Daoist ones
xue xian is so annoying (affectionate) but you know what? he's absolutely right: he's a majestic, powerful and beautiful dragon and it must be known, so he's doing amazing by saying it everytime he has a chance. he's also so funny, i laughed a lot with his antics, i love him so much.
the evolution in his relationship with xuanmin had me screaming and kicking my feet, i'm really looking forward to the next volume, i can't believe it ended like that, what am i supposed to do now ;;
