The Sky Shanty from SHI chapter 5. Sung by

Lyrics:
I remember our master called us away,
From the blood and the fire of those forlorn days.
There she did tell us “you’re ragged and spent!”
Then at her orders, to home we went.
Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.
We haul to the south...

Hey everybody, just addressing when I'm going on break this month. instead of the standard second week of the month, instead I will go on break on the 18th of this December and the break will continue until the 12th of January.
So last 2 weeks of DEC and first 2 weeks of JAN will be my Christmas break.
There will still be some SHI chapters when I'm on break, and some art, most likely.

Che Han could only gape as the powerful expert descended from the Elder’s box, dragging the Patriarch, Elder Chongyun, and Elder Lulai with him.
Fat Han had no idea who this expert was, but he was the most monstrous existence he had ever laid eyes upon. The entire stadium was silent. Only the hushed sound of breathing and stillness was left. There was nothing other than the expert's intent. The power that surrounded them all.The expert had commanded silence and it was s...

There was silence in the arena as Zang Sheng fell and did not rise again. Bi De stood before him, his eyes on his opponent. His feathers had been burned, blood leaked out of his beak and he was clearly exhausted, yet he still stood proud and erect.
Elder Chongyun just stared at the arena, his mouth open.
One of the greatest talents of the Shrouded Mountain Sect, defeated by a mere chicken. Worse, his defeat had been broadcast all over the Sect; including to the tens of thousands o...

Bi De moved his wings and neck, stretching himself out properly. It had been months since he had engaged in battle in this true form, and his opponent was not one that he could fight without being in peak condition.
He marveled at the way his body moved, feeling so much smoother and more precise compared to his human form. Breaking through increased… everything. His plumage was more refined. His eyes were sharper, and his senses had expanded in ways he had not known were poss...

The disciples of the Shrouded Mountain Sect were for a moment arrested. Mouths wide open as if they had been slapped by a writhing fish. The disciples watched on as the magnificent rooster took an obvious breath and began to stretch like a mortal before they did strenuous activity—making sure his body was in perfect shape. His movements were smooth and unhurried; and though he still bore marks on his body where Sheng had struck him, he seemed little worse for wear.
After he was satisf...

Okay: this is in the interest of transparency. After two relatively smoothly released volumes, I have managed to have a bit of a cockup with this one. Effectively there were two problem chapters.
One, where I used the old patreon chapter instead of the revised chapter. This is where Tigu first meets Delun. The other was where Xianghua meets Ri Zu. That one just somehow disappeared between the developmental edit and the copy edit, and I just did not notice its disappearance. A coup...

Some people say “be careful what you wish for.” It's a cautionary idiom—that the thing you want most may have drawbacks you never considered, or the wish itself may be cursed.
Me? I’m blessed to say my wish was turning out just fine.
“Alright! It's time to put this into practice! Bailu, Seiyu, only step in if Ningjing is in danger, okay?” I asked, as I took my place at the wheel. Ningjing had a more modern set up than I had been expecting, a proper wheel instead of jus...

Hey everybody, sorry for the delay, but this was provoked both by illness and me doing some reworking of the last chapter. Zang Sheng's section in the previous chapter has been changed rather a lot. Sorry about changing things after posting, but I thought things would work better like this.
Hes still a massive asshole, but I descided to change certain key things about him to make him slightlly less generic... namely that he no longer wants to steal Yushang From Bi De for shits and...

Bailu awoke to the sound of somebody picking at the strings on a pipa, and the sound of her Young Master’s Harmonic Wind Tines. It was a slow, almost mournful thing, he was playing.
“...We’ll all raise our voices, a song in our hearts
And set our eyes on distant shores, with wind in our sails once more.”
She liked the song. It was peaceful, and it was good because her entire body hurt. Which was no wonder because she had fought Elder Minyan—

“And there it is! A masterclass in the Fulmination Arts! But is being textbook enough to lead to ultimate victory?” The announcer shouted as another victor raised his fist to the cheers of the crowd.
Bi De had to admit, he could see where the cultivators were coming from with this whole tournament thing. He had known that Tigu had enjoyed it, at least when she was fighting, or in the parties afterwards, but hadn’t especially enjoyed the watching part. But to Bi De’s surprise he ...

The crowd erupted into utter pandemonium at the Young Master’s words. Bi De watched as the once confident competitors turned meek. In one instant the Young Master had changed the course of the entire tournament.
Zang Sheng’s eyes bored into the crowd, daring anybody to say a word. Everyone whom he stared at averted their eyes… except for Bi De.
Zang Sheng’s eyes narrowed, and with a burst of speed he was standing before him on the edge of the raised platform.
He need...

And so the days rolled on. There wasn’t that much aftermath to the tournament for me, other than Lin looking like she wanted to die when she was brought to apologise to me for her actions.
But… the tournament had only solidified my desire to leave. I started getting called into the sect a bit more often, for simple things, and each time it was stifling, as the novelty hadn’t quite worn off for the girls.
I didn’t want to have to walk on eggshells around people. For that I ...

Zou Lin was on top of the world, as she watched the party unfolding from the head table. The entire world had an odd glow to it, and the lights sparkled just a bit brighter.
She had just won the prestigious Rising Fairy Tournament, defeating many powerful opponents. She was sure to advance another stage in her cultivation after the resources she had just received. She was going to receive pointers from all thre...

The day of the tournament arrived with more fanfare than Bi De expected.
It was his first time really being at a tournament as he had only caught the aftermath of the Dueling Peaks. Xiulan, Tigu, Ri Zu, and the Xong Brothers had described the opening ceremony of the Tournament to Bi De, but he had been entirely unprepared for the sheer extravagance of the Shrouded Mountain Sect. Lightning blasted into the sky, thunder rolled like an invisible drum, and more fireworks than Bi De had ever...

I was once more inspired. And finished the actual tournament in less than a chapter.
======================================
“I got the Spirit Wine and bao—don’t grab, you assholes!” Shilong Seireishang, or Sei to most, shouted as she bullied her way to her seat, her friends hands—And some random ass who wanted a free meal—grasping for her bounty. Sei kicked the freeloader’s hand away, and the crowd jeered at the yelp. Sei had drawn the short straw, and had g...

“Your physique is incredible!”
As soon as those words were out of my mouth I knew there was no going back. The entire room had frozen. Minyan’s eyes were wide. Elder Lili had an eyebrow raised. Elder Song grabbed some of the seeds that were in her bowl and put them in her mouth.
Now, I’m not actually into muscle girls. I generally like women Bailu and Seiyu’s size. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t respect the amount of work that went into a body like that—e...

Bi De had much to think upon as the days passed; Shao Heng’s assault, the true history of the Shrouded Mountain Sect, and the approaching tournament.
At least their original mission of investigating the sect seemed to be complete. Indeed, there were no demons here—just a more human brand of evil. Yet it was rather sad that the difference seemed to be so slim. The only thing demons did that men did not was completely destroy the land… and Bi De did not have any doubts that...

Not long after Yun Ren left to speak to the Head Inquisitor…
Ri Zu took a deep and calming breath as she watched over Shao Heng. The room was silent, save for both of their breathing. She was not expecting another attack—it was too soon after the last one—but she was not in the habit of negligence.
She had relieved Bi De of his watch and now she sat alone for the first time since the attack. She was still tense, and her heart was still not calm… though not because...

The day of the tournament came entirely too quickly for my tastes. Last week I received a box from Minyan containing my outfit, as well as what my role would be..
Luckily, I wasn’t really expected to do anything big. I wouldn’t be fighting, I would just be sitting with Minyan with her and the other elders, and “getting people used to me” as Minyan put it.
Apparently the sect was buzzing with curiosity, and now that I ...

There was once a woman. Her name was Su Nezuha. She was a beautiful woman. She was also a beautiful fox. Her fur was white and gold, and her eyes red as blood. Any who looked at her face were immediately entranced by her otherworldly beauty.

“The Mo family, hmm?” the Head Inquisitor asked, as he read over Yun Ren’s report. “You do not set your eyes upon the meek, disciple Biren.”
“Yes. It is a difficult thing, but this disciple would think during these trying times an honest Captain would be better than one trying to save his own hide,” Yun Ren replied, trying to put it in language that would appeal to the old bastard.
“Indeed, indeed.” The Inquisitor leaned back in his chair, considering Yun Ren’s...

Again, this was purely for my own enjoyment. I was actually reccomended by several other author freinds to start a kind of side project, as they said it also increases quality and their own enjoyment of writing the main story.
So far that seems to be true, but if the main story ever starts to suffer this will stop.

Shao Heng was no stranger to ambushes. It was part of being an Outrider. Spirit Beasts, cultivating bandits, and rival sects were always eager to pick off the isolated disciples, and thus render blind and deaf the eyes and ears of the Shrouded Mountain Sect. Many a time had he been alone and outnumbered, arrayed against a superior force.
Even surprised in the heart of the sect, even reduced as he was, Shao Heng’s body remembered what to do. He threw himself backwards, away from the sw...
