I could not take it anymore. I've been lurking on Beware of Chicken this whole time and this thread is what got me on here. Forgive me for all the bombardment but I have a lot to say and share because I am loving this fan fiction story. It's my second favorite. First will always be Beware of Chicken.
First thought....
I'm guessing because of the issue of the demons in Azure hills the issue with the demonic blood arts has not been brought to light. So the Cuckoo Triumph seed was destroyed? But now the blood arts demons cultivators may have opportunity to work behind the scenes. Shrouded Mountain has already started to fight the corruption inside and out. Elder Zang might be staying home with demon lady speaking into his ear. Will this also be worth a bounty? I was worried about this but thinking on a family look with Gramps and the Harem, the blood arts don't have a chance.
It's sad that the heavenly rice from Fam Ram will not be tasted and help the Azure company to thrive, yet this way they are a year early and getting their foot into the door to a lot more. Looking forward to seeing them grow, and looks like another concubine may be chosen, will she ignite, or just be a mortal concubine to help with family?
Sheng and FengFeng are a lot cooler in this version. I think Sheng will be in the right mindset and place to restore Shrouded Mountain to righteousness. And that stupid cousin is going to get what is coming to him. LOL I think his comeuppance has already started.
I am so glad you did not kill off Elder of the Misty Lake that was a great help. Looking forward to Dueling Peaks even more. I do hope Rou and Bowe meet sooner than later. I wonder if the SM Medical Pavilion could help Bowe?
Looking forward to Rou to get back to Verdant Hill. Will the Lord Magistrate and him get a heart to heart? He and his wife would be great start trainers for politics and since they will be living in the middle of the great political area they are going to need HELP. We also need to see if FengFeng will be an addition to the sisterhood. Will Sheng be making maple syrup soon? will Meling and her blood brothers join in as before? Will Rou go for a visit to the gutter and deal with a certain wolf pack? Will the rooster kid instead become the carp kid? Will Shaggy one live this time? Will Shaggy two still become Tigu disciple? or if shaggy one lives will Shaggy two join the family? Will we go see the old lady again with her goat? What else does she have to say to us?
Looking forward to when they go to the Grand Ravine. Isn't there a lovely jade beauty there as well? Oh well its all earth demons so Rou and Sheng will not be near them. They have maple Syrup to make! And yea Shang Yang and the Storm Wings work very well, in a very disastrous way.
I am concerned that the demons are breaking the seals, does this mean that the deadline is coming up? that we have less time than we do? Please don't destroy our lovely Azure Hills!
Looking forward to Tigu meeting with Hermetic Iron. I thought Mehiua would learn from them but its cool she has already started at Verdant Blade. Rou Shen is already showing people working together is better than competition. Looks like he is on his way to unify the Azure Hills, but in a more different way. Since the battles here and Rumbling Earth Sects will be Spiritual the meeting will take place. Off to the Sea of Snow later hummmm? Blood arts anyone?
Rou won't be needed for the big jobs of clean up of Azure Hills, so he can enjoy the Dueling peaks as an honored guest and see the future warriors, as well as enjoy his adventures with is sword brother and those who go with him. I wonder if the places they will go will help FengFeng's cultivation. I would love for her to see Zhong Zang again and she has surpassed him greatly next time they meet.
I am wondering what the forbidden archive would think about Meling's Formation? I don't think that info has been passed around yet either.....
I would love for Rou to become a spiritual chef at home. His ladies will love it!
I love that the Cloudy Sword Sect is already starting to spring clean themselves. Those in power that had fallen at the top were mostly because of bottlenecks. Now they will have the opportunity to redeem themselves as well as break their bottlenecks. So only the outer and inner disciples will be needing to be cleared out. I truly hope that Tang Shuren will find redemption. and they are bringing the administration talents they need! I cannot wait for Chen gnashing of teeth. It has already started.
We also have the flesh gangs. Does this mean that after the demons a rampage against slavery in Azure Hills as well as the whole empire will commence?
The Emperor must be having so much fun and yet so many headaches and yet not. Lol waiting for the father pointing, as well as the hearing of Shen Yu coming a mile an hour for his head, or a few thing he may not need. Rou - I don't have any talent. Emperor - a Profound doing Earth level work???????
lol Sheng having to drop mail. All the young ladies, so handsome, so dedicated to cultivation, respectful and not lustful. and part of the SM main branch. I think he left broken hearts throughout all his cousin's friends. especially once they read their letters. I am glad to see our Fulmination Squadron Captian has been recognized, helped and the MO issue dealt with. I wonder if Sheng and Lu Ri will start talking about mail.......
So Zhong Zang was not at the Shrouded Mountain while Sheng came home to be FengFeng's messenger. He messed up her contact communication but why would he leave the Shrouded Mountain for so long? We know how much Zhong Zang father is like, and how he is like and how the Shrouded Mountain Patriarch is like. I wonder did the Patriarch to show face to all his competitors because of the crisis sent Zhong Zang as his messenger to speak to the other Sects? Could it be that Zhong Zang was cooling his heels for weeks at certain Sects while Zang Sheng only had to wait a few hours because it seemed he came for his own personal reasons to see the Young Mistresses of each sect, not the messenger boy of the the SMP (lol Zhong Zang is the simp of the SMP). I cannot help thinking Zhong Zang waiting with all his anger and arrogance of being made to wait, to hear that Sheng is there and gone and all of a sudden those Sects are now amenable. I wonder if he will put two and two together. That the doors were only open because of FengFeng's and Sheng. What deviation will that create? And all those Young Mistresses comparing the two Zang against each other.... Then Zhong Zang gets back and his whole house has been ransacked of all those resources that he deems he is entitled to, and all these people he suppressed are now catching up to him.
the tournament arc always goes bad and the younger brother has already been put to rest. I wonder if Zhong Zang will be the one to churn the pot?
I am sooo looking forward to Gramps meltdown and it soo soon! Gramps is going to go on a rampage after that letter. All the thoughts he was thinking he would do with his boy have already happened and he has missed them. Oh Gramps is going to be pissed! Proud of his boy pissed that he missed things like a parent missing their child first step.
