Chapter 1: The Novices Debut, Part 3—Case Two—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby & J Tao)

The moment they arrived outside the hotel entrance, Lu Yang and company froze immediately. The hotel lobby was brightly lit, and an altar had even been set up inside. A middle-aged person wearing Taoist robes was in the middle of a ritual with a luopan, a Feng Shui compass, in his hand. Beside him, there was also a disciple of middle-school age or so who was responsible for fetching tools.

Two rows of people, all wearing suits, stood behind them. These people were clearly the hotel’s staff.

Someone among the staff had also noticed the three of them. A female staff member immediately rushed out and explained, “My apologies, esteemed guests, we are carrying out a great worship service today at the hotel. We aren’t open for business.”

Who conducts worship services at night?! Jiang Ziya felt this excuse was poor, but it was clear the other person was just using a random excuse to make them go away.

Cheers everyone, the month rolls along. Please expect chapters near the end of the month and into October. Can you believe there are only a few chapters left of NH? It’s going to feel odd once we’re done. These current chapters have really packed a punch too!

Last month, “an androgynous boy with ice powers” won the poll! This month, we have a fun poll from ArmadaTW about Yu Shu summoning an illusion as the third Keeper brother. I quite like the suggested names for each one. :) The names House Keeper and Hold Keeper have really grown on me, so much that whenever I see “Keeper,” I think of them. Like, Gatekeeper and Abysskeeper from Fire Emblem Three Houses? Totally more of their brothers, right?

We would love to hear your poll ideas!

ETA: All chapters we have ready are now up! The remaining chapters will take a bit longer. We’re still working on them. Check back in October~

“Jiang Ziya, over here, over here!”

As soon as Jiang Ziya parked his motorbike, he saw Lin Zhixiang run over from under a tree. He reflexively glanced at his watch to make sure he wasn’t late. It was still ten minutes to seven.

Lin Zhixiang dashed in front of him, the smile on her face so huge that it was about to split her face.

“Why haven’t you gone inside yet? It’s too hot to wait outside.”

This was Jiang Ziya’s first time seeing Lin Zhixiang in a skirt. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail. He could tell she had put careful thought into her appearance. However, sweat covered her forehead, with strands of hair plastered against her face. She looked disheveled. Fortunately, she had not put on makeup, or he’d be witnessing a mudslide!

“I’m waiting for Lu Yang. He hasn’t arrived yet.”

Is she afraid to head inside without “Slay” here to suppress her aura of misfortune? Jiang Ziya sighed to himself at the lie he had woven. We better quickly resolve the problem of Lin Zhixiang’s curse on herself. This is just too sad to watch.

Wei Mingyun…

Wei Xiaogē!

I popped up from the bed, in disbelief that I had slept so soundly in the apocalypse. If an aberrant were nearby, I wouldn’t even have known how I’d died—wait, this is my room. Jiang Shuyu’s room.

After looking around and finding not even the slightest hint of danger, I sat sluggishly on the side of the bed and used both hands to hit my cheeks. With a loud “slap,” my chaotic feelings gradually began to calm down. Immediately afterwards, I began to carefully recall the past I had dreamed of.

It turned out that Wei Xiaogē had given his full name from the start. Only, everyone had called him Wei Xiaogē, and I had also followed suit. Sometimes, for the sake of teasing him, I would switch to calling him baby bro Wei—Wei Xiaodì.

However, Xia Zhengu had disliked Wei Xiaogē from the start. It was just that Wei Xiaogē was powerful, had joined the team for a long time, and hadn’t committed any big mistakes. If Xia Zhengu were to want to chase him away, who knows how many of the team would want to leave with Wei Xiaogē!

Big and Little Sun Go Go

Original novel in Chinese by 御我 (Yu Wo)

Part 35: The Demon King Shows Off—translated by J Tao (proofread by Trespasserby; C/E edited by lucathia)

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the distance. Grisia had never heard anything like it and immediately retreated behind some trees that were off to the side. Soon, he saw some carriages… No, these are cars!

Grisia had listened to Charles’s explanation of cars and at the time had thought it was a pity that the roads were too crammed full of them. Otherwise, driving a car to the guard tower would have been much faster.

So that noise is the sound a car makes. It seems like they move pretty quickly too—how can something that big actually move without horses? Is it a type of magic exclusive to this world?
