Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

(back to masterpost)

I have a backlog a mile long...

But yes, we are back to this point in the story!

Chapter 31: Dew (Part 4)

I remember being kind of worried when Lan Wangji showed up, too, haha. After all, it’s difficult to get a read on his character in the beginning when you lack a lot of context for all of his actions.

“Wei WuXian had never seen him with such an obviously displeased expression on his face before.”

This is saying something given that Lan Wangji had been genuinely pissed at him for various things throughout the years.

“He touched his chin and, for some reason, felt exceptionally guilty.”

I like this little moments where Wei Wuxian is self-conscious. They are brief and the narrative doesn’t linger on them, but they help build an image of him as not as completely and utterly shameless as he is otherwise made out to be at times.

Also adds something to his character that he can’t identify the reason why, just that he does feel guilt. He has awareness of his own emotions, but the reason is not always clear.

“Oh no. Don’t tell me that Lan Zhan really pretended to be drunk so that he could kill Wen Ning after I summon him. Of course. Nobody actually gets drunk after just a bowl.”

lool Wei Wuxian’s worries. Don’t worry, that is totally not his intention. Very reasonable conclusion to make considering he is walking over with his sword, though.

“With a loud smack, Lan WangJi hit Wen Ning.”

now you can laugh

“As if he didn’t think one smack was enough to express his rage, Lan WangJi pushed Wen Ning to about thirty feet away.

He spoke to Wen Ning in an annoyed voice, “Go away.”

And again.

lol Lan Wangji you are so childish when you’re drunk.

“He was even more serious, proper, flawless than usual...But, as he looked down, he found that Lan WangJi’s boots were put on the wrong feet.”

I don’t know how Wei Wuxian didn’t die laughing. I guess he was more freaked out about why the heck Lan Wangji was like this, but it’s pretty hilarious. The proper and formal Lan Wangji...put his boots on the wrong feet.

He’d be a weird sleepwalker, I guarantee it.

“With one on the left and one on the right, he solemnly wrapped his hands around both of Wei WuXian’s fingers.

With a clang, Bichen fell to the ground due to its master’s negligence.”

I guess I’d be freaked out too. Did someone possess Hanguang-jun!? or something like that.

Poor Bichen, you are abused so much in this novel. I couldn’t believe he just dropped it to grab Wei Wuxian’s fingers. The great part is that he does it solemnly, totally serious despite how random this act seems.

Then he totally denies being drunk...

...See, Lan Wangji can lie! When drunk.

“Lan WangJi attentively maintained his gesture of how he grasped Wei WuXian’s fingers, with both of his hands in loose fists.”

I thought this was funny when I first read it, but now it’s sort of sad and adorable all at once.

“Some wailed loudly, others giggled idiotically, some flounced about, others collapsed immediately, some were determined in taking their own lives, others whimpered, “Why are you leaving me?”

The last one of these is a reference to MXTX’s other work, The Scum Villain’s Self Saving System. xD

“Lan WangJi whirled around and angrily smacked him once more.”

Chill, Lan Wangji, stop smacking the poor guy.

“Lan WangJi repeated angrily, “Do not play for him!”

your ugly side is showing, Lan Wangji. haha this is actually the first time he’s been really overt about this jealous side of him in the story, I think. There are various signs littered throughout, but it only becomes really clear when he’s drunk.

“Seeing that Lan WangJi had never been too fond of demonic techniques, he might have not liked how he used his flute to control Wen Ning.”

A totally reasonable assumption. You can’t blame Wei Wuxian for not connecting the dots.

“Anyway, he had to pet him in the direction of his fur, of course, “Alright. I’m only going to play for you, okay?”

Its adorable how patient and accommodating Wei Wuxian is, though like he said, the best thing to do is just go with the flow.

“Yet, unexpectedly, after Lan WangJi heard this, he reached out, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him into his arms.”

are you sure you’re not possessed, hanguang-jun.

“Lan WangJi, “The face doesn’t show anything. Listen to the heartbeats.”

This is just hilarious in an odd way.

Wei Wuxian hasn’t noticed yet that this is really, really unusual. Lan Wangji dislikes people touching him, yet grabs your hands and shoves your head against his chest? hmmm...

“...it would’ve been impossible for Wei WuXian to treat him with respect and not play any tricks.”

Just can’t help himself, as usual, when it comes to Lan Wangji.

"Having heard no answer from behind him, he turned around only to see Lan WangJi holding the basin in his hands, his face already buried inside.”

loool whhy Lan Wangji why

Wei Wuxian is surprisingly (or not) good at taking care of people though.

“… Did he drink the water or did he not?”

lool his concern. like, oh god he d r a n k the water meant for your face! please don’t let him remember this

I have to admit, I was quite surprised by some of the answers when I first read his little interrogation.

I was like: then why did he have those jars of Emperor’s Smile?? I thought he took up drinking after Wei Wuxian died, but if so why did he not drink the ones in his room?

“Do you like rabbits?” “Yes.”

HA. he does like the rabbits. who can resist them. Though, the Cloud Recesses probably has a bit of an overpopulation problem...how are they not overrun by bunnies?

“Have you ever liked anyone?” “Yes.”

haha

hahaha...

Since Wei Wuxian next asks if he likes Jiang Cheng, then Wen Ning, he meant this in a general term, not a romantic/physical attraction thing. But Lan Wangji answers “Mine.” when he asks about himself.

don’t you think this is a suspicious answer??

“He took Bichen off his back, thinking to himself, When I pointed at myself, Lan Zhan probably thought that “this one” meant Bichen.”

NO. WHY. You asked him what he thought of YOU. arrgghh. why would it make sense for you to ask if he likes his sword? Granted, he figured that his train of thought derailed since he was drunk, but nooo. He doesn’t mean his sword...you see how he treats that poor thing? XD

ALSO:

Jiang Cheng receives a negative response: a frown

Wen Ning receives an indifferent response

haha poor Jiang Cheng.

“Wei WuXian knew that Lan WangJi was desperately drunk, that it wasn’t directed at him, yet those three words still crashed into him, taking away the strength in his arms and legs.”

just think of what he’ll do when it IS directed at him and he finally realizes it

“Bichen was thrown onto the ground by its master again.”

see

“After pausing for a moment, Lan WangJi’s hand came over and, after fumbling around in the blanket for a while, started to slowly untie the ribbons holding his clothes together. Wei WuXian exclaimed, “Okay! Enough! I didn’t mean for you to remove it in this sense!!! Alright!!! Sure! I’m lying down and I’m sleeping!!!”

lool Lan Wangji is a little shit with selective hearing when he’s drunk.

“It seemed that, ever since he came back, whenever he decided to tease Lan WangJi like how he did in the past, he always suffered from his own actions.”

It’s called karma. xD this is what you get for bullying him all those years ago.

"Welcome to banter era", "I'm on the floor" - Many Man Utd fans fume at transfer report

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has so far placed a significant amount of trust in young players since taking the Manchester United hot seat, and that trend looks likely to continue with 18-year-old Nathan Collins on the shortlist.

United have several prospects of their own, but Ole is not afraid to look further afield at players who he can help develop to serve the club long-term. Swansea’s Daniel James has previously been linked, and reports from the Daily Mail indicate that Nathan Collins could make the switch from Stoke – on the recommendation of former Red Devil Darren Fletcher.

The youngster has made only three senior appearances so far in his career, but at 18 the defender has a big future ahead of him and his talent has already been recognised by Republic of Ireland u17s.

United fans, perhaps expectedly, have not taken to the news well, with many concerned that signings young players will not be sufficient in turning around their fortunes of recent years. Others are displeased that the club are taking transfer advice from Darren Fletcher, albeit a former player but someone who does not have an official position at the club.

Here’s a look at how United fans reacted to the transfer report on Twitter…

loool what’s wrong with this club?
