  1. Grandmaster is such a wimp. Who gives a shit if she’s your half-sister. If it’s gotten to this point already, just get it on with her. Especially in medieval times, incest wasn’t actually that uncommon.

  2. Thanks for the chapter. It looks like Grandmaster can’t really run away too well anymore. Flender has him nice and cornered. Maybe he’ll finally spoil himself a bit under Flender’s pressure…

  3. Incest is only ‘bad’ if you have children. Skip that and they should be fine.

    Others might judge but meh, they will find an excuse to judge you regardless.

    I doubt anyone important will condemn you for finally giving in to love after 20 years trying to avoid it. XD

    Also, OP MC is OP.

    • Truthfully; we have the technology to stop genetic defects thus the ability to render it a ‘societal’ ‘moral’ ‘wrong’ is all that’s left. People do kill people for no reason at all; people have silver tongues and there are cults. There’s nothing wrong with that; it’s just the sheeple society being sheeple
      P.S: Kill all humans. I like the probe gun.

    • if your immediate siblings then it can be quite bad, healthwise for any child you may have.

      but that alone doesn’t cause serious problems if its not immediate siblings, the problem is if it happens too frequently then mutations can occur that will cripple all offspring.

      honestly i can’t see anything wrong with it happening between cousins if they stop at a single child, that child will go off and find their own spouse and no lasting harm is done… dated “honour” bs that values a ‘name’ over the individual really piss me off.

      for me it’s a similar argument as t why a person can legally only have a single official spouse. the single partner is a religious thing, that actually weakens the gene pool of humanity as a whole. why should everyone including those who don’t follow that religion be subject to it’s restrictions in a government that claims to be “secular”.

      i like flender because he tries so earnestly and see’s the whole situation much clearer than the 2 involved. with him as a mediator character, gang and erlong would never have stood a chance at being together. :’)

  4. Cousins can get married in quite a few places and incest was the norm less than 200 years ago in western society. Especially among Royals…

    Cinnamon-Bagelson; how OP is the next spirit ring?; on a scale of “out of this world(meaning not from this world)” to “it’s over 9000 calories worth of spirit rings”; given the fact most people lose weight absorbing so this would be nigh infinity. C:

      • Well genetically speaking, incest is avoided because of the increased chance of recessive traits to show up. But if they avoid having kids which is not impossible since 二龙’s age should be reaching late 30s to mid 40s by now which means menopause should be around the corner for her (menopause hormonal imbalance + slaughtering corner… GG).

      • the whole point behind why they aren’t together yet is because this isn’t really an option.

  13. Well, that’s some pretty sexist advice from Erlong. “Just pretend you don’t have a brain and do whatever he wants to do even if you know it’ll get you both killed for no reason.” Is this the stone age or something? And she agreed with it? What happened to the strong, independent girl from the beginning of this series? Who brainwashed her into a mindless zombie that lives for the chance to be a doormat? :/

      • Which just makes it worse when these otherwise strong women think that they should act like submissive, brain-dead slaves for men. I don’t think Grand Master or Tang San fell in love with, or indeed, have any interest in, weak women. So for them to think that they need to behave that way is bizarre and can only be seen as the innate chauvinism of the author. And I find it disgusting that he’s inflicting this mentality on these strong women who have previously shown a fierce love for their freedom and rights of self-determination.

    Hello.
    For reading light novel use of the additive called Readable (readable.tastefulwords.com) is a great addition unfortunately, because how light is displayed a light novel on your website, is not working.
    Is there a chance to change the way the chapters do not display in the “window”, but as part of the site?

  19. Incest as cousins they say. It makes me curious, is it a cultural thing or did the author decide to be a bit more strict in that world?

  20. lol anyone remember that episode of the Simpsons where Shelbyville vs Springfield? It was all because Shelbyville wants to be able to marry their cousins. Xiao Gang should move their with Liu Erlong. lol problem solved.

    imo, the incest thing is mainly to keep the bloodline from mixing and producing retarded or deformed offspring, so as long as they don’t have kids, it shouldn’t be a problem. As for emotion go, their practically strangers when they started traveling together. If it’s incest with a close cousin that you grew up with, then it’s really creepy. Same thing how i hate movies/series that have incest relationship between brother and sister growing up.

    Anyway, thanks for the chapter.

    • Also the chances of deformation is a lot lower if it’s between first cousins compared to siblings (around 1-4%). Plus in some cultures, first cousin marriages were actually preferred (though I wouldn’t recommend doing it more than once). It probably benefits clans to have more variation in their gene pool though, especially in the case of netting allegiances between clans, so I don’t think they would have that much in-family marriages. In addition – if in-family marriages were popular, Erlong’s mother was a prostitute, and her dragon spirit is red, not blue, which probably means that if Grandmaster and Erlong did have a kid, its chances of inheriting similar problematic recessive genes would be lower (since only Erlong’s father is a part of the Blue Tyrant Clan).

  22. Liu Erlong raised her head to gaze at the sky, serenely saying:
    “You must never let me hear you let her down. Otherwise, no matter whose disciple you are, or what your background is, the Giant Earth King from that day will be your example.”

    Am i the only one who got annoyed by this? She knew her for less than a year, didn’t spend a lot of time with her, this is their first act of being intimate, and she says this shit. Maybe i’m just being defensive of the MC, but honestly her saying that, pissed me off.
