Status Updates From Liu Yao: The Revitalization...

rereading

Reaaaally struggling to finish this one 😩 around the 75% mark, it’s felt more and more like a slog to get through. I would DNF, but I’m too stubborn and kinda just want to see how everything balances out. Mind you, it’s not terrible, like, it’s still Priest, but it’s feeling more like a chore atm

You’re a spoiled brat who is only good at preening and causing trouble. Who can be bothered to pity you? I like you! I want you! What else do I have to say?

FINALLY

I think my favorite romance trope is one when character knows they’re starting to act/think strangely around their love interest, but they haven’t quite pieced together ~why~ yet 😅

Why can’t I make eye contact with my shidi anymore without getting all nervous? Why am I trying to memorize how many eyelashes he has when I can’t see his face? Why did I paint his likeness for 100 years? It’s a mystery…

In each generation of Fuyao Sect, one evildoer was bound to appear. This thought struck Yan Zhengming’s heart. He involuntarily turned to Cheng Qian.

And then he silently thought to himself, ‘Even if Xiao-Qian were really to come to that point, I will never act against him. If worse comes to worst, I’ll hide him away.’

Back to Gusu, eh? Yan Zhengming has definitely taken love advice from Lan Wangji.

Muchun wondering which of his four disciples will devolve into demonic cultivation:

Yan Zhengming: spoiled brat, but he’s a good boy. He’ll be okay.

Li Yun: *tortures insects and produces evil backfiring charms
Cheng Qian: *sneaks off to read prohibited demonic texts in the library
Han Yuan: *sneaks off to explore demon valley

Muchun: …..

“Seeing they were leaving, the egg didn’t give up. It…chased after them insistently.”<\i>

me, internally: okay why does that sound like the behelit egg from berserk

2 pages later:
“Finally, at the center of the cracks, a piece of eggshell came off. The thing sticking out of the egg wasn’t a beak, but a hand. A baby’s hand.”<\i>

me, externally: OH MY GOD IT IS IT’S GRIFFITH 🐣

I hadn't realised how much I'd missed a good ol' xianxia story :')

Han Yuan might not be willing to collaborate, but, in everyone’s hearts, he was still trustworthy. Even if he wasn’t affiliated with the same team, he was still one of them.

...you sure about that? 👀

The ink marks on it were fresh, and in Yan Zhengming’s handwriting. It said: “Make this thing up, then give me a portion of it.”
The page the note was on happened to be in the pill volume. The section for a ‘heart-purging pill’ hit Li Yun in the eyes.

DON'T YOU DARE!

FINALLY!!!🔥🔥🔥

Yan Zhengming is so normal about Cheng Qian, forbidden relationship goals ✨
