Female Warrior Prologue Volume 1: Light and Shadow

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 2: Light and Shadow Part 2 – translated by raylight

The next morning, Red Cloak unhurriedly walked down the flight of stairs. Downstairs, it wasn’t very crowded or noisy. The price range of the inn was considered above average, so ordinary adventurers would not stay there. Rather, those staying at this inn were mostly merchants. Compared to adventurers who liked to shout in loud voices, merchants were usually more low-key and wouldn’t voluntarily cause trouble. Moreover, they were less likely to pay special attention to someone who liked to wear a red cloak, and they wouldn’t stubbornly want to lift that person’s cloak to see what was underneath it.

This was precisely the main reason why Red Cloak, although an adventurer, had chosen to stay at this inn.

He sat down in front of an empty table, and as he ate the rations that he had brought downstairs, he pondered over what he should do first. He had already used up what money he had, so it was high time he did some missions to earn money. Otherwise, if he were to travel far in the future, he wouldn’t have enough money to buy rations and basic equipment. On the other hand…

½ Prince Volume 9: Sequel

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 2: Feng Long Ming, Part Two – translated by raylight

“Hoho, that boy, he raised a great uproar in the village the moment he was born.” The elderly village chief laughed as he said, “All the girls in the village had chased after him relentlessly, scaring that boy so much that he climbed the fence to leave the village.”

Xiao Xiao Lan swallowed her saliva and asked, “Does he look very handsome?”

“Was said to be Second Life’s number one pretty boy. From what I saw, that boy is indeed good-looking. He is a handsome elf lad with white hair and red eyes.” After saying that, the elderly man chuckled again.

White hair and red eyes… I tried to take note of it in my brain hurriedly, but then I furrowed my brows. Doesn’t this mean Prince is an elf with albinism? Because his whole body is lacking in melanin, it resulted in him having white hair and red eyes? Poor thing!

“Number one pretty boy!” Xiao Xiao Lan’s eyes turned into two hearts, and then she impatiently wanted to drag me outside again, her mouth shouting non-stop, “Quick quick quick! Let’s hurry up and look for Prince. I want to see a pretty boy!”

½ Prince V9C1: Feng Long Ming, Part One

½ Prince Volume 9: Sequel

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 1: Feng Long Ming, Part One – translated by raylight

My name is Feng Long Ming, and I am sixteen this year. Perhaps you may feel that my name is a good name, with the meaning of becoming famous throughout the world just like a dragon. However, I apologize for having to shatter your conjectures. The reason why I am called Feng Long Ming is because my father is called Feng Yang Ming, and my mother is called Long Shui Han. With my parents’ personalities that I know too well, they had probably written out all six words of their names on pieces of paper, and then chose three of them to form a name… Thank God! I wasn’t called Shui Long or Feng Long, or even worse, if they had picked “Feng Shui,” then I really don’t know if I should or shouldn’t go to a Feng Shui master to ask him to take me as a disciple.1

Truthfully, I have never understood how my father and my mother, being so messed-up, managed to raise a sensible kid like me. Could it be the result of things developing in the opposite direction when they become too extreme?

(Wrong! That’s ’cause both your parents and my parents are messed-up, that’s why they would throw a four-year-old girl to a five-year-old boy to take care of. If you, who had started being a replacement father since the age of five, hadn’t become more serious and responsible, the two of us would have been reincarnated a long time ago.)

List of all of Yu Wo’s works

by | posted in: Blog | 100

EDIT: The new updated list is OVER HERE. Please refer to that from now on. ^^

Hi, this is Ray. Because many people seem to be interested (well, it ranked pretty high when I did a poll, and it kind of is a pre-requisite for No. 6), so here is a complete list of Yu Wo’s works, in order of oldest to newest. Here, I will be posting the status of the novel (whether it is ongoing or complete), and where to read it if available. Also, I will posting short info about it, and the summary of volume 1 (Because I suck at summaries, ha. I can never get it to sound interesting without revealing too much of the plot >.< )

Anyways. Most of Yu Wo’s later works are better, so if you guys have the chance, go read them XP Also, I suck at name translations, so I’ll be leaving most of them in Chinese.

(As for the rest of the poll, I’ll be doing the list of recommended light novels next, and then the plurks, I believe. It’s just that it’s taking me a long time to gather the list… ) (Actually, news flash, the plurks are just as popular. But both are time-consuming. *eye twitches* I’ll do depending on mood then.)

Well, anyways, enjoy!

Interviews at the back of LSK Manhua volume 1

by | posted in: Blog | 21

Hi, this is Ray again. After learning how to write a post by myself, I can say… You guys are going to be seeing a lot more of me. (I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but you’ll just have to deal with it, I guess?) … The people at PR have no idea what they unleashed. XD

Well, I have actually translated quite a bit of various things here and there, being the avid LSK fan that I am, so I thought I might as well share some of them with you guys. One of which is as the title claims.

Just to be curious, I’ll conduct a small interest poll. Are you guys more interested in:
1) Plurk translations from Yu Wo (of course, nothing spoilerific)
2) Sharing amusing stories within PR!
3) Interviews at the back of the LSK manhua volumes
4) Random fan drawings/merchandises
5) Sharing information about all of Yu Wo’s novels, where to read them in English (if available , etc.
6) List of recommended other novels! Including Japanese ones. XP

You can say all, but tell me which ones you are more interested in so that I know. Well, if there’s not much interest, then obviously I wouldn’t be doing it, so yeah.

ANYWAYS. ARE YOU READY GUYS? LET’S PARTY!
