That's it? It just ends? With such a forgettable story? The dragon stories were short but at least memorable.

These small stories on dragons already fly in the face of the common stereotypes about them. There is no grace to any of them here. The 1st story has one stumbling to the ground, tried to chase away with canons, and dying in a dirty pond. The 2nd one possibly a snake becoming a dragon, the 3third a dragon hibernating around a woman's eyeball (some red flesh) and the 4th a dragon with clutching a man's severed head.

Took a while to get to dragons. And apparently it is just one story. Odd.

His father then rebuked Hongyu, "You haven't obeyed the rules for female morality. Since you didn't guard your own reputation, you've already disgraced yourself, but now you're disgracing other people. In
this case, your lack of restraint has brought shame on my house!"

So? If she were a ghost, fox, nymph, immortal, god or daughter of one she could fuck all she wants with him.

Based on the author's remarks here, he really didn't seem to like donkeys. For some reason. I mean he calls them unpleasant in looks but how are they more unpleasant to look up than horses?

The Ghost woman gave birth to a son? A normal human? This clashes so much with the rest of this story that I suspect this is only there to somehow make it "wholesome" or otherwise it would be straight up porn and that probably would have been unacceptable back then.

She walks very slowly on her "tiny feet"? Is this a reference to foot binding? Combine this with the fact that this is named after a woman, that the previously micropenised protagonist gets a huge dick after being treated by an elder fox lady, when returning home fucks everything with a vagina, possibly gets two wives and his mother is thrilled when she realizes her son is a manwhore and it is clear: This is porn!!!

Stories like these are far too long and detailed with two many locations to be handed down orally. Even many fairy tales are not this long. I think it is one of those that the author created himself.

It happened that the official Zhang Biejia, had just come from the capital, and as he passed, noticing Cheng's cultured appearance, he took
pity on him and cared for him till he gradually regained consciousness.
Sounds like if Cheng had appeared like a commoner he would have let him there to rot.

Ne, cool down, you don't have to threaten to kill yourself to make your little brother go home to your abusive stepmother.
