- The abyss scene/ch 27 does some neat stuff with unreliable narration
- Airplane: ...wait weren't you a giant hater bitch? Cucumber: oh, I am THE bitch. I am Princess Massive Cunt. And now you're trapped in a xianxia with me.
- '“Nothing.” Shang Qinghua said, “I’ve already long thought that Cucumber-bro is a faithful reader, just one who doesn’t like expressing sentiments normally. To think you were able to dig up an obscure, throwaway setup that I used only once; I’m very moved.”'
Ffffffff
- SQQ is evidently off using Inedia as an enabler for starving himself for the better part of 3 yrs, like a very normal boy who is NOT going through it (REVISED: maybe just initally). He’s eating around Airplane but this seems in part a flex to make Airplane pay for shit (admittedly with company money), bc he fucking hates this guy.
- Calling the answering machine version of the system the AI indicates it’s normally something alive?? Is this just a weird translation issue? &what DOES it mean that LBH is its power source?
- excaliburedpan thought SQH straight up had no system, which is how I read that line initially, but two later lines indicate he came to have one—if it’s LBH powered, presumably around when LBH was born
- Gongyi Xiao's hyper polite way of asserting his Sect's territorial control over this forest is really interesting/worth remembering as a strategy, here (ch 29)
- 'you know who this kid reminds me of? perfect perfect Binghe' 'you know what this tree re--'
honey, we get it
- "Shen Qingqiu finally arrived, holding his sword, and blurted out an, “Ah, idiot!”
Gongyi Xiao was rather aggrieved. In truth, Shen Qingqiu also knew that the issue was his too-fast reflexes, causing him to move before he finished listening; anyone else would have done the same. But in the past, Shen Qingqiu had sometimes partnered with Luo Binghe, who could understand exactly what he wanted without needing him to say an extra word, and respond perfectly. The contrast was as clear as day; Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help but miss the benefits and ease afforded by Luo Binghe."
if you like him so much why'd you cliff yeet him this is why we can't have nice things
- everything about this mushroom quest is fun competence porn for SQQ
- 'He could never have known, that Shen Qingqiu’s interest in these strange creatures was equivalent to a normal Zhongdian reader’s interest in the hundreds of flower-like maidens, all competing in beauty.'
just say 'monsterfucker' it's shorter
- "Shang Qinghua continued to dig his own grave. “Cucumber-bro, can I ask, how did you see Luo Binghe? I remember you were one of his fans, right: you ranted about a huge bunch of the characters I wrote, but even so you never ranted about him. To you, is he a character, or is he a…”
A chill ran up Shen Qingqiu’s back.
This bizarre interrogation from “Great Master” Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky was basically just like high-school girls gossiping in the dorms after lights-out. “Tell me! Do you have a crush on ___” “N-no, what are you talking about!” “Dodging the question~ Don’t be shy O(∩_∩)O haha~” “I hate you, go to bed!”…
Lightning. Lightning from the nine heavens!
Shang Qinghua was completely innocent. He was actually making an honest inquiry and seeking a discussion, it was Shen Qingqiu who had skeletons in his closet, and was thinking too much."
actual chokelaughing
- ok you didn't kill the innocuous demon but you DID just take his sustenance away with no replacement is he gonna survive without that wtf guys (I think he's like LBH's fucked-face cousin or something so he's actually fine)
