So, Su Ling got an equivalent to integrating a domain weapon huh? I guess this is how they did it in the old days back before standardized soul surgery was developed. Get in some big tribulation crucial to your Way and blow out some of your meridians.
 
Man, I thought that this would happen, but it's still so sad to see Xisheng go like that.
It makes sense from a narrative standpoint, and I'm sure that Su Ling will grow a lot from this experience.
But so would do to take care of a little sibling. Xisheng deserved a better life, all of them did.
Damn you, dice god.

Though, the shippers can go out to celebrate tonight. The ship is confirmed! I repeat the ship is confirmed!
How long until we get cute fanart? I want to see a shy, ashamed Su Ling and Gan Guanlin fussing over her!

Edit: also

Su Ling glared flatly, one dark furred tail curling at the side of her bed. "So what if I did. You were brooding again."

Did Su Ling just got her 3rd tail? Her other 2 tails has been described as brown, but her ethereal 3rd tail was black with glittering stars so the physical one would be dark?

YESSS with Su Ling at rank 4 she is now solidified into the narrative for the long haul, excepting death. She's always been my favorite besides Gu Xiulan.

Plus, there's now no reason to not visit Skull Uncle anymore :lol:.

What a great arc, failure should not taste this sweet but it does.
 
Next time we see Fox Mom, Su Ling will have Gan at her back, and that bloody moon sword art of hers will have an extra pair of hands to cut her with!
 
Now that is some fail forward shit let's gooooo

SL4? Permo Vengeance meridians? Acceptance of her tail as a part of her? Hunky man attentively waiting at your bedside?

Su Ling coming up aces.

All it cost was some hospital time, watching the ghost of tormented dead siblings dissipate into the aether, and giving Ling Qi a opening to needle her with forever.

Can't wait to have to pay debts to deer uncle. Power ups through sacrifice!

Xisheng breathed out, and part of her cheek caved in, there was no bone or blood, just dust crumbling off to dissolve. "Sister is too nice, her heart is too big. Don't break, okay? There's lots of us, but only one you."

"There won't be," Su Ling said. "I won't let this keep happening. Not if I havta bow and scrape and beg. My pride ain't worth that. No more Xisheng."

"That's good. I think a lot of them would have liked you," the words grew softer and softer, until a final sigh of air came and what remained collapsed inward entirely, leaving no more than fragments of clay, gravedirt and drifting dust on Su Ling's lap.

Our vengeance will be terrible, that fox will rue the day it stole a little sister from us.

Ling Qi didn't answer right away, but eventually, she clapped her hands together in front of her and offered a small bow, as one would to an instructor. "Just a kind Uncle who took pity on his junior."

…Ouch. Can Ling Qi clap with a broken arm?

yrsillar said:
The doors burst open with a bang, and there stood Gan Guangli with a frazzled young disciple hanging off his arm like a scarf.

"...Sir visiting hours are over," the dizzy disciple groaned.

"Miss Su, my deepest apologies! I was out among the wilderness and had not heard of your plight!" he announced head scraping the rafters as he thudded in, ignoring the aide in a startling display of rudeness for her fellow retainer. "Are you-"

A pillow struck him, dead center in the face.

"Up. Shut. Now, Volume down," Su Ling said, looking as if she wished to sink entirely into her mountain of pillows.

Ling Qi smiled at her friend, bright and friendly.

Su Ling shivered.

This is amazing. Su Ling really does have the worst luck on LQ adventures lmao.

Though I do feel kind of bad for GG, from his perspective his boss, coworker and GF somehow all managed to land themselves in the hospital, simultaneously and from two seperate situations. Speaking of what did you do Renxiang?

On the bright side Su Ling seems to have solved her personal blood dilemma. Considering what started all this… that makes this mission accomplished! Don't sweat the details.
 
With a conviction that now trumps her aversion to nobility, her romancing GG and her increased bond I'm now more confident our fellow Ling won't be lost in the wake of this story. Not the political marriage CRX expected from her retainers but Su Ling's awesome enough to make up for that if they end up together. Fun banter at the end too and bone uncle is a good boy who I look forward to seeing more of.
 
I know in dream distance doesn't matter as much as it does in the real world. Hopefully this means we will have plenty of time with Bone Uncle despite leaving the sect soon.
 
You know, Uncle Skelly really is similar to Ling Qi. From his perspective, some curious girl comes nosing into his crypt and he immediately goes "Yes. Adopted. We are family now."

Which is, like, exactly this thread's thought process sometimes.

It's so wild that there's just this random ancient undead around that has some of almost the exact same personality traits as Ling Qi. Have to wonder how he ended up that way, which is good because we're finding out. No way either the thread or Ling Qi herself are going to half-ass his questline now. We're following it to the conclusion.

Even better, Su Ling is gonna meet a young eligible Diao scion soon, and possible continued collabs with our precious turtle boy we got a chance for love polyhedrons for our dear fox friend.

Endless entertainment for Ling Qi and Sixiang
 
Well, seems that those arm meridians are locked in. Time to see what can be made of that. For all that Gan Guangli is being rather rude, it says something that as soon as he hears about what happens he comes to help immediately.

Not sure if you're actually confused here or not, but it sounds like those are Su Ling's arm meridians, not ours.
Ling Qi shot the open air a huffy look, and Sixiang snickered. Yes, they were all alive. Even SU Ling would recover, though the scarring on her arms would be severe.

…She would never be able to use those meridians for anything else though, it was as if she had assimilated a domain weapon early.

This has been the best arc in a while in my opinion. Great location, strong narrative, fun characters, visceral danger, I could go on and on, thanks Yrs!
 
While old folks can be a sad sight to see when they infirm in body and/or mind, you really should pay your relatives a visit in the nursing home. Otherwise they'll end up like Uncle Skelly :(

That's some spicy shipbuilding timber, though. Gan came all the way over in a rush to see Su Ling, not his liege Renxiang? My my~
 
Yeah this turn in general has been excellent so far. Started off with Yu Nuan thunder palace adventures, moved onto scouting our extremely exciting fief and then had some fun and dangerous fox hunting with Su Ling.

I am actually kinda glad I rolled that terrible roll with how great this arc was. :V
