Chapter 58: Has Feng Xiuyu’s Cinnabar Field Been Destroyed?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The emperor, Si Ming, looked at Si Rong and sighed . Why doesn’t he know when to stop? Why is he so silly? Si Ming thought to himself . He should have corrected the mistake of the engagement . Then, they wouldn’t be in this situation today . Then again, Si Rong also made everything even more complicated, which made the mistake harder to fix .
“It doesn’t matter what terms you use . Annul the engagement or repudiate your fiancé . As per your wishes, this engagement is now invalid,” Si Ming declared .
Then, he turned and left . Before leaving, he glanced at Si Mobai and Feng Tianlan . If he wanted to keep this foolish son of his alive, he would have to send Si Rong out of South Peace City and create a new territory and home for him . Otherwise, sooner or later, he might lose his life .
After the emperor had taken his leave, Feng Tianlan looked at the ashen-faced Si Rong with scorn and said, “Congratulations, Third Prince, on being able to marry the woman you love now . I’m sure Third Prince will love my third sister even more now that her cinnabar field has been destroyed . ”
“What did you say?” Si Rong looked at Feng Tianlan in confusion . If Yu’er’s cinnabar field was destroyed, she was useless to him .
Feng Tianlan looked up and saw an equally shocked Feng Xiang as well as a pale and trembling Feng Xiuyu . She laughed in their faces . Then she turned to Luo Yunzhu and Chuling and said, “Let’s go . ”
“Feng Tianlan!” Feng Xiuyu clenched her teeth as she called out after her . She knew that her cinnabar field was indeed severely damaged .
“This match was to see who would live and who would die, and each has to bear her own consequences . Especially the consequences of consuming illegal medicine—you deserved that,” Feng Tianlan replied coldly .

If Feng Xiang had not interfered, she would have already killed Feng Xiuyu . Since they hadn’t wanted to die with just one blow, she’d granted them this wish .
Luo Yunzhu scanned the arena and said in a serious voice, “All of you idiots who said things like ‘I will eat feces and castrate myself,’ if I find out you haven’t fulfilled these promises, I’ll hunt you down, one by one, and make sure it gets done . ”
With that, she quickly ran to catch up with Feng Tianlan . Tianlan had become much stronger; so, Yunzhu too, had to become stronger . Only then would she be better able to protect Tianlan . Feng Xiang turned his eyes back to Si Mobai . He wanted to know why he had helped Feng Tianlan, again and again . He couldn’t understand why he would help someone whom he didn’t even know .
“Tianlan!” Luo Yunzhu suddenly screamed .
“Miss!”
Everyone followed the sound and saw the figure, which had been standing straight as bamboo earlier, suddenly collapse onto the ground . Si Mobai wanted to help since everyone was in a panic, but he saw Feng Xiang looking at him and decided not to go over . She was still too weak and needed to grow more powerful first . If he went to help her now, it would not do her any good .
Feng Xiang saw Luo Yunzhu carry off the unconscious Feng Tianlan and disappear . Meanwhile, Si Mobai had only glanced over when he’d first heard the commotion . He gave no further reaction and went back to his usual icy, godlike self . Since it seemed like Si Mobai didn’t fancy Feng Tianlan, Feng Xiang didn’t have to worry about him .
This battle had left Feng Tianlan with a serious internal injury . After all, there was still a large gap between her skill level and Feng Xiuyu’s . What’s more, Feng Xiuyu had taken an illegal medicine that had increased her power suddenly . She had used up all her strength to fight back but had still been severely injured . Luo Yuanjie had given her a Grade 8 Nurturing Pill, and she regained consciousness soon after that .

“Tianlan, how are you feeling?” Luo Yunzhu saw that she had woken up . She quickly got her a glass of water and helped her to sit up .
Feng Tianlan saw the worry written on Luo Yunzhu’s face and drank some water before weakly replying, “Don’t worry, it’s not a serious injury . ”
“Not a serious injury? You almost severed your meridian channels, broke two bones, nearly lost your life, and became useless—and you still say this was not a serious injury?” Luo Yunzhu rubbed her forehead in anger . “Is your head broken too? How can you say this is not serious? Do you think you are made of iron?”
Feng Tianlan chuckled . Compared to having her bones removed, her skin peeled off, and her eyes gouged out, this was a light injury . So long as she wasn’t dead, no injury could be called ‘serious . ’

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
