Teaser:

Once they stepped through the wooden door, they saw another secret passage. It wasn’t made of stone, but looked like a natural tunnel formed into the mountain. The inside was pitch black with no night-luminous pearls to light the way. The strange thing was, they were hit by a strong acrid odor as soon as they stepped inside. Anyone could tell that it came from a highly corrosive agent.

“This is the right way,” Long Feiye took a luminous-night pearl from the other passageway to light their path. Between going out and coming in, he could sense the marked contrast between the smell in the air. Han Yunxi had long started up her detox system and activated the deep level scanners. Despite this, she still couldn’t tell whether this scent was poisonous. Her vigilance grew along with her caution. The one thing she feared was that this wouldn’t be a poison the detox system could recognize. Then they might be poisoned after inhaling too much of the air.

“Is the air poisonous?” Aunt Ru was very worried as well.

“You two stay here, I’ll go take a look.” Long Feiye was very clear-cut, but Aunt Ru held him back with a severe expression.

“Ye’er, your life is more important than anyone else’s! You can’t go!”

Actually, her words weren’t off the mark. Long Feiye’s life was worth too much, to the extent that he had no equal in Cloud Realm Continent. But Han Yunxi only felt that there was something off about this phrasing. She was still puzzled when Aunt Ru suddenly cried, “Han Yunxi, you go, quickly!”

She was simply ordering her around! It sounded like her life wasn’t worth a thing at all. Actually, Han Yunxi wanted to volunteer and go ahead anyways. With Lil Thing here, she’d at least have more protection than the other two. But Aunt Ru’s commanding words really left her feeling uncomfortable.

“The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion belongs to you guys. It has nothing to do with me, so why do I have to go?” Han Yunxi blurted.

Long Feiye was about to speak up when her words turned him silent. His expression was cold, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

(Because I decided to publish this chapter early on a whim, I didn’t really prepare a teaser….enjoy some random screenshots instead *cough* I’m thinking of setting the plot of the visual novel after the events of chapter 221….but it’ll have references to things that happen later on in the story. In other words, by the time I finish writing it, you guys should’ve caught up release-wise to all the references and characters I’ll put in (prolly up to and around c350ish)! )

I updated the textbox and added a nice cursor (it’s a golden ruyi, yahhhh!)

Also basically settled on sprites from the main trio of guys, here’s Giant Ice Cube whom you’ll meet in a flashback at the very beginning of the game (so no spoilers at all, see?) uwu

Gee, I wonder who wrote that book of poetry?

wut’s this iono dun ask me iono a thing *whistles innocently*
