Chapter 25 - Voidrifts and chaos-springs
It was the day of Yung’s first excursion into the Warring twilight forest.
He stood by the northwest exit of Dim Gold City. Like the lower town, there was also a fiend butchery here. Yet it was more organised, with less rot and waste.
“See that, young mistress? You guys are kids who can do it if...

Yung coughed loudly into his hand, bringing back everyone’s attention from the little girl’s story, and Ziyou Maque, who had a strange look on his face, wheezed back a laugh.
“Even mortals can get dao insights. But they won’t know it since they can’t access their sea of consciousness. Walk fifty li a ...

In a large hall inside the Dim gold hotel,
“Patriarch Liu and Fairy Yafeng, I can assure you that our sect knew nothing of this.” A scholarly man said with a stoic posture. He was dressed in a simple but elegant moon-motif robe with long sleeves and a mandarin collar, and had an air of calm intelligence and s...

Yung gorged down a large pitcher of water.
“Wow,” Yung said, “I am shocked.”

Chapter 21 - Post-auction event
Wang Lihou was an interesting specimen.
And it wasn’t because he was fat.
He was also highly talented in runes, arrays, and formations.
The distinction here was that several runes made an array, and several arrays formed for one grand effect, which was a formation. Formations could also be inter...
Sorry for the slight delay. I was editing till the last moment.

“Kii~~” Silky chirped.
He brushed along Yung’s finger and spat.
Yung had his link sight on. He saw the yaoguai assimilate some null thread strands from the surrounding. It was a Heart qi-intensive process.
About a minute later, the small insectoid mandibles near Si...

“This one, on the other hand,” Yung continued, shaking off his pondering. He pointed at the avian with three heads, “is also an Imperfect Heaven 2nd order fiend. A chaosfiend called the Three-headed marauder with a 1-star species rank.”
Yung had to marvel at the names. They were so wordy y...

“I see now,” The gang leader continued, “Perhaps yer speaking the truth. The fox princess will let you ‘help’ the mundane folks better than us gangs and even the Youjin nobles ever could, and you gotta be part of her inner circle to ask such favours. You gotta pass the recruitments.”
“Finally, someone ...

Chapter 17 - Because you knew that I knew that you knew
At that point, most of the Youjin clan members had finished reading and signing the contract. Even the fool Youjin Ze acquiesced, though he didn’t stop grumbling. Maque knew it was only for show. No way one could be an elder of the Youjin clan and not know what such a contract entailed.
Chapter 16 - Scammed by a fox
The madlander father-daughter duo lowered their voices to a whisper when Youjin Liu picked up the blood spirit scroll.
Maque and Ziyou Ling had seen Yung scribbling a new' business deal' on it, as the lad called it. But Maque doubted if such a low quality scroll would have any real binding effects.

The next day, Maque returned from a fiend hunt with a large haul. They’d managed to snare pack of 2-star chaosfiends. It was a few days yet until he would take Ziyou Yung and Youjin Chao to the forest to train.
He noticed something strange as he walked to his dojo, which was also his home.

“Interesting. Interesting. Go back; I just heard a funny joke is all.” Ziyou Maque waved at the three madlander cultivators who went back the door with confused faces.
“You’re not joking.” The gang leader said. “I’ll be there. Let’s see what you got planned, Young Yung.”
Chapter 13 - Save the foxmoths initiative
Youjin Chao, you sneaky bastard! Yung cursed.
His eyes involuntarily wandered around the room: a warehouse slash office which also seemed to act as this Ziyou Maque's sleeping quarters, judging by the oversized hammock. It was filled with a dizzying array of dangerous weapons, their sharp edges ...

Yung was currently in a library slash bookshop of sorts controlled by the Youjin clan. He would meet Youjin Chao later to visit this appointed fiendhunting team.
And he stumbled upon a goldmine of information, specifically about the Su Fox clan.
It turned out they were a big deal. A hugely big deal. 2023-05-20 11:14:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 11 - She’s a big deal!
Yung tried hard not to laugh, seeing Youjin Chao absolutely terrified of Floofy. He then remembered what he had read on the scrolls about the Su fox clan, and how many bloodlines they had purged throughout the aeons.
“Relax man.” Yung said, “Even if Fairy Nanya learns of our conversation, she won’t mind. ...

“Greetings. You’re Youjin Chao?” Yung said.
The man nodded. He was a boy, really. Yung knew he was barely a year older from all the gossip about him.
According to the whispers that echoed through the clan, Youjin Chao was nothing but a mediocre youth, lacking any remarkable skill or talent. Bu...

“This isn’t a dream.” Yung regained the memories of his past life as Jung, six inches away from being skewered by a voidfiend. He was talking about the influx of memories and not that he was about to be devoured.
But both facts were worrying. So Yung continued to do what he did as a soul orb a lifetime ago.

It turns out nothing changed with the arrival of Yung’s clan members. Su Nanya still called the shots, and the glances the Youjin cultivators sent Yung's way didn’t make him feel any safer.
At least his neck was sword free now. He was still kneeling, waiting for important people to finish discussing his fate.<...

‘Large thieves. Many flock baby, dead! No want dead. Mad!’

“Leave it be. Maid, bring the bestowal.” Su Nanya said with a huff, her cleavage jiggling. Yung gulped, then forced himself to be excited about this ‘bestowal.’
The expressionless maid dutifully brought out a scroll and held it to Yung. Yung tried to take it, but the maid flicked his hand away. “Ziyou Yung. Do the...

Yung waited a moment to ready his nerves, then his finger flicked out, severing the threads that bound him to Lord Yaoguai with a sharp snap. The threads were surprisingly strong, almost as if made of steel, but they yielded to his touch like soft silk. As they broke apart into two neat pieces, a feeli...

A few weeks ago I had posted about continuing writing. But my auto immune problem has worsened. I may need to be hospitalized.
I will be putting the book on indefinite hiatus and unpublish my patreon creator page in a few days.
I am sorry for such unavoidable circumstances. If anyone reads this, please kindly delete your pledge. Thank you for supporting me for so long :)
