I'm going to be making this story into a Light Novel: and as such, I need your help. Namely, what scenes you want to see illustrated in the finalized Book 1 of Beware of Chicken
Now, there will be quite a lot of choices here. These are the scenes I could think of for what I thought would be good ones.
The cut off will be the top 10, so choose as many as you'd like for now, and then we'll have another poll to determine the victors from that.
Right now, the only o...
It was that odd moment, at the end of the year, and the beginning of another. There was always so much stuff crammed into these months, and then, all of a sudden, there was a drought of events until the spring. The kind of lull in the world, as most people just seemed to be waiting for spring.
The New Year was a time for reflection, and reflecting on my choices over the year, I can safely say that I didn’t regret a single one. Especially not the decision to leave the Sect. Hell, trans...

Yun Ren stalked through the forest, his footfalls as quiet as he could make them. He wasn’t the best hunter in Hong Yaowu, but he was second place. First was his father, who supplied most of the wild game that the village ate, and the hides that went to the city. Fat juicy boars, bears in winter, and deer. Most of Yun Ren’s game ended up being rabbits and other small game, which got him relentlessly teased about how even his hunting habits were fox-like.
He honestly didn’t mind th...
2021-02-12 15:55:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun disappeared behind the hills, and twilight came. But The village was not plunged into darkness. Paper lanterns cast red shadows, and giant fires blazed, as the village gathered at the shrine.
“And that was how the Great Sage San Ta defeated the wicked Kram Pas, and banished the child-stealer from the world.”
Little Xian gasped from his perch on Chun Ke’s back, eyeing the stuffed dragon he had received. “So this is a protective talisman that can wa...
2021-02-11 16:12:13 +0000 UTC View Post“Come on now, Xian’er, stay still for me, okay?” Meiling asked her little brother, as she tied the red sash around his waist. He was fidgeting, like all little boys did at his age, eager to go out and play.
“Everybody else is outside already, Meimei!” he grumbled, upset that he had to get dressed up more than any of his friends.
“Yes, they are. They aren’t going to be the next leader of Hong Yaowu, however. There is a time for play, little brother, and there is a tim...
2021-02-10 15:50:55 +0000 UTC View PostI would also like to inform everybody that this weekend, I will be taking a two day break. So there will be no updates on Feb 13-14. Thank you for understanding.
2021-02-09 16:28:33 +0000 UTC View PostPi Pa observed the Master. Ever since they had returned with the letter from Hong Yaowu, he had been a flurry of activity, painting things red, “knitting” small caricatures of animals, and mixing some kind of dough.
Today, though, there was an absolutely wonderful smell permeating the house. It was spicy and tantalizing, and it came from what the Master called an oven. Oh, she could just eat what was causing that smell all up!
These things intrigued her. The dough smelled abso...
2021-02-09 16:24:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe Lord Magistrate checked over the prices one last time as he paced around his office. It was sure to be enough to placate the cultivator.
At least he hoped it was. He may need to make a request of the man, and if he was not sufficiently plied, he might refuse.
Reports had come in of Sun Ken, the Whirling Demon Blade and his ilk having come north. Reports that were days late. Really, was it so hard to use a transmission stone?! The roving band of scum had been damaged, but most ...

There were many ways Hong Xian expected his day to go. Reading medical scrolls, taking care of his son, harvesting Wintercaps, or looking to the horizon for his daughter.
He was not expecting… this.
His knuckles were white as he held onto the edge of the Toba Gan, the boar careening through the snowed over fields, and up hills, squealing with delight. He had no idea what the children and Gou Ren saw in this. It was all he could do to hang on, and n...
2021-02-07 15:39:23 +0000 UTC View PostSenior Sister was an odd teacher. Good, but odd. While her own teachers would explain in exacting detail how she must move her body, and the proper stances she was expected to follow, book education was more… free form. She was assigned texts to study, then given a test. What she did not comprehend was set as revision, and she was expected to figure it out herself. Or she was just told to research things on her own time. It was the way most cultivators did things. You either comprehended so...
2021-02-06 16:08:52 +0000 UTC View PostHealing. Rare reagents. Credit for slaying Sun Ken. The most delicious meal she had ever eaten. And now, Senior Sister was about to tell her how the technique that healed her worked.
Somebody, not of her sect, freely teaching her a technique, with the approval of the Hidden Master Jin.
Truly, she was the luckiest of the Younger Generation in the Azure Hills. She just hoped that she could comprehend the profound wisdom she was about to receive. Xiulan had never studied the healing ...

“Dunno. Could be days, could be weeks. She's pretty messed up.”
Cai Xiulan awoke to the sound of voices. She was warm, and comfortable. Her body ached, but it did not hurt.
This was a very nice bed. She nearly fell back asleep, but she persevered!
“I’ll stay here, if she's still asleep for a few days. Or we could transport her back home?” A female voice said.
She kept her eyes closed, and took stock of her body....

2021-02-03 21:46:23 +0000 UTC View PostI had been procrastinating all day.
The cultivator had provided a distraction, as had the Xong brothers when they started making crude jokes about me undressing her.
I’ll be honest, they were in pretty bad taste. Seriously, she had just got the shit kicked out of her. She might be attractive under the black eye and split lips, but there was no point in gawping.
Partially why I wasn’t bothered when Meimei asked me to get her undressed. There's nothing sexy about ...
2021-02-03 15:50:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Jin. Put her on a bedroll. I need boiling water right now. Yun Ren, I have some bandages in my pack.” Meimei declared, already rolling up her sleeves. Rizzo hopped to beside her, clambering up onto her shoulder and waiting for instruction.
I put the cultivator girl down as gently as I could as Meimei started barking orders. Well, I had a cultivator in my home. It… well, it was a knee jerk reaction that I just grabbed her and started helping. Somebody needed help, s...
2021-02-02 01:18:25 +0000 UTC View PostMeiling awoke to what felt like Gou Ren jumping up and down on her head. She was queasy, and sore, and she had no idea what she did last night.
This is why she never drank heavily. This, and the fact that everybody always looked at her strangely afterwards. Nobody said why. They would just start laughing.
She opened her eyes, expecting stabbing pain...but her eyes didn’t protest too badly. In fact, most of her headache disappeared as she came to full wakefulness.
“Th...
2021-02-01 16:37:11 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up feeling just as great as every day, save for some weights on my body, and a certain dampness on my chest. My eyes opened, and I looked down.
I was missing my shirt, and I saw a shock of green-tinted hair. Meimei was still asleep, face down on my chest and drooling, with a contented smile on her face.
I chuckle, and rub her bare back. I pause. Her shirt was missing too. I absently pull Gou Ren’s leg off my throat where he's flopped down, in only his loincloth, and extra...
2021-01-31 17:12:28 +0000 UTC View PostIt was important to be well-rested before a raid.
That was the one thing that he always insisted on. You needed your energy to do what needed to be done, and being fresh meant that if there was a fight, then the boys were raring to go, instead of being tired and distracted.
Sure, it made them a little antsy and aggressive, but he liked them mean. Not too mean, because then they tended to burn, then try to pillage, but just a little raw.
It was going to go smooth. He...
2021-01-30 17:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostBi De gazed upon those that took the noble form of the Great Master. From his perch up in the trees, they took no notice of him.
He was tempted to fly down and offer them greeting, but something stayed his wings. Experience, that harsh teacher, had taught him both the folly of trusting too easily, and acting too rashly.
These beings that took the form of the Great Master did not act like they should. Their clothes were tattered. Their eyes were hard, and full of foul intent. They ...
2021-01-29 18:03:33 +0000 UTC View PostWe had leftover fish soup for dinner. One thing I had to get used to was eating lots of the same stuff every day, but it wasn’t too bad. And every year I stayed, and farmed, the selection would get bigger, so it was something to look forward to, instead of complaining about the present. This stuff was a bit bland because the spirit herbs were still growing, but the rice and veggies were good.
Man, I had really become reliant on the spirit herbs for seasoning. I need to find some other...

2021-01-28 18:19:03 +0000 UTC View PostAfter their lunch, they once more took the “grand tour”. Their clothes had dried fast, and they were freshly warm from the fire. Only the room they had been in was mostly finished. The other rooms of the house were uninsulated, and their floors were bare. The walls were up, and the roof on, but it wasn’t yet a home. He had the beginnings of a kitchen, but he cooked in his “living room” and the fire in there. The rest of the house had the second floor blocked out, but not entirely in...
2021-01-27 18:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostIf there was one season Meiling absolutely loathed, it was winter. The cold cut right through to her bones, and made travel a chore. But the worst part about it was that everybody got sick. The shaking fevers and wracking coughs always proliferated around this time, and it was her family’s job to fix it.
It was hard, soul-draining work that sometimes ended in the deaths of the patients. That was always the hardest bit. Trying so hard to save somebody, only to have their life ...
2021-01-26 17:35:26 +0000 UTC View PostShe was power incarnate.
She was grace given form.
She was death made manifest.
Her legs propelled her though the forest, after the fleeing prey. She bounced from branch to branch, never making a sound. Her quarry stunk of panic and desperation, as it dragged it’s maimed leg behind it.
The foolish thing thought that it managed to escape her, when she had let it run.
A lady needed her entertainment, after all.
And this one was entertaining beautifully. It ...
2021-01-25 16:15:23 +0000 UTC View PostZhuge Tingfeng sighed with contentment, and continued eating his lunch. He was greatly enjoying his married life. His wonderful bride was as enthusiastic about their marriage as he was, and he was the envy of all of his colleagues. To have such a beautiful and caring flower coming to visit had earned him many dirty looks, though most were in good humor or jest.
Those that weren’t knew that attempting something was foolhardy, and likely suicidal. Everyone knew that a cultivator had onc...

I hadn’t seen anybody for a month. Now, that was pretty normal, I didn’t see anybody for six months when I first got here, and it didn’t bother me one bit.
Now that I got the taste again for human interaction, though, it was a little hard. But I persevered! The outer walls went up, as did the roof. Things go fast when you can drive in a nail with a single stroke. Getting the roof on was a little awkward solo, but I eventuall...
