We were in the streets the next morning as the sun came up. I had some stuff to do, and Big D, Yin, and Noodle had been invited back to the Crystal Emporium, so that Master Jing could better explain to them what he would be doing to the crystal, if the transfer idea didn’t turn out, but there w...

I swear upon the honour of the Pale Moon Lake City Guard that none shall lay a hand upon it,” the guard said, as he handed me a note with a seal on it.

The Resounding Crystal Dais beneath him hummed, as it took his words and echoed them for all to hear, but his voice was still straining from how much he had shouted earlier.

I did say more art incoming!
Here is the fox brother of the duo, Yun Ren, as well as the height difference. They do look a bit like stereotypical bandit villains, don't they?
Once again, the art is by Tsuu!

And now we enter into a period where we should be getting art more often then normal! Here is the Vol1 design of Gou Ren. As you can see, quite monkeyish, and while hes fairly fit, hes not exactly cut like he get later on.

They're small changes, but I find it improves the chapter. Gou Ren's par...
2021-09-14 00:30:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe meeting with the Elders had gone on for longer than Xiulan would have liked. After the discussion of the tournament, they had moved on to sampling the syrup… which was a bit amusing, when her Honourable Father had groaned with pleasure.
It appeared they had something amusing in common...
