  4. I really have to say this. I fucking hate that this plot point was spoiled for me by the very story itself. I don’t remember which chapter (it was during the part that Xiao Wu was taken by the Titan Ape), but in an earlier chapter it was already completely confirmed that both Xiao Wu and Tang San would become a title duoluo. So there wasn’t any suspense at all that either of them was going to die here. What the fuck kind of idea is it to put the epilogue before the end of a story? This would have been an amazing chapter if it weren’t for that, but now it just puts a sour taste in my mouth.

    • It was chapter 147 smh, and yeah the plot point was definitely given away by the manwha I still loved this chapter! This was way better than in the manwha, in my opinion one of the best chapters to date. I have stopped reading the manwha even though it tried to have a positive outlook and separate the two stories I just can’t anymore.

  5. oh god, i’m practically crying blood T///T this is all too much unfair! And that damned cliffhanger is probably the worst EVER!

  6. Well i cried a little. I hope she gets her memory/intelligence back as her current state is far worse than death for Tang San, Da Ming and Er Ming. Nothing more painful than looking at a loved one and them not recognizing you or worse, them recognizing you for a moment then barely seconds later they can’t even remember your name let alone remember you.

  7. Thanks a lot!
    Oh my God, when i read about what xiao wu was doing, i was saying “no, no,no, no…”…and then when she faded away, all my tears, all my tears—-! I had forgotten about that flower! Ah—! Great! But…that means…she…she can’t remember him, huh…but she lives! She lives! Where there is life, their love has hope! Yay—! To separate him from her like this…! Spirit hall, you will bd utterly, wholly destroyed! Hate them..so much…! How inhuman! Those cruel, merciless hearts…! Die, all of them, die—-!

      • She only has one brother, right? I guess the siblings are okay…they haven’t totally cast away their conscience…but that depends though. Will they do what is right? Or do what their ‘saviour’ spirit hall tells them to do? I’m hoping for the earlier, of course, but the latter seems more…probable?

        • I was thinking about it and the current situation seems that she is alive, but doesn’t have a soul. If I remember correctly title dulous can forcibly remove their spirit rings if they want to. So maybe in the future little San will stop his growth of BSE and raise the CSH. Then when he reaches title dulou he will remove her ring, which she interwove with her soul, and force it back into her there by returning her soul and human form?

  9. So this is what it feels like to get your heart ripped out, put back together and then finally shredded to pieces. Fuck the fucking author, I need the next chapter, Oh Dear fucking God 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  10. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that an author forgot about something they wrote at the beginning of a story or changed their mind about it. So for me, the suspense is still there (although I really, really hope that this isn’t the case and that Xiao Wu is going to recover…). But what really pissed me off was how many people apperently couldn’t read the ‘no spoilers’ part and wrote about this in the comment section – eventually I didn’t even dare read the comments any more, because I didn’t want to read any spoilers.

      • Thank you for the hard work you do on this wonderful story. That being said. I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW! I can only be consoled if there is a purge of the spirit hall that shall make death himself tremble in horror. People saying stuff like the fox girl should live are stupid she and her biter butt master are the main impetus for this tragedy same as what happened to Tang Sans mom. Fox girl needed a spirit ring so they went to kill poor Wu, they’re a bunch of facist jerks who need to die in a horrible curb stomp manner as a lesson to others.

  14. Bagelson is trolling us. I know everyone must have noticed “True title: The Same Fate, Tang San’s Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring”. Now, how is that a narrow escape?

    • I think he did for the reason of he is very anti-spoiler it seems, and the true title left no room for what was going to happen. On the other hand by the end of the chapter they do escape Spirit Hall, just not the way maybe we all wanted the title to mean.

  18. Thank you for the chapter. Cried like a baby. I’m wondering how he’s he’s going to solve this though. Eventually I’m betting he’s going to have to give up her spirit ring to restore her, but her ring is likely the same one that’s going to get him recognized by his clan. Hmm…

  20. Does everyone realize that this means than when he does become a title doulou he’ll have at the least two hundred year spirit rings, one crime the one formed by the blue silver grass back then(since they said it would grow with him) and now one from Xiao wu.

  21. At the same time, under the influence of the Deathgod Domain, Tang San’s fighting spirit once again rose to the peak, and the pursuing opponents would also suffer the influence of the domain.
    Add word “under” or maybe “by” but I think “under” works the best.

  24. To dodge any form of spoiler, I’ll leave you with this. Chapter 20, it is said that in the future, the Soft Boned Titled Doulou is not to be touched for it is the trigger to the Thousand Hands Asura. This pretty much guarantees Xiao Wu’s return. Remember also, that we are barely 1/3 of the way through the entire LN. Ah Yin is already in a state of recovery, it would make no less sense for Xiao Wu to recover as well … in time … and in chapters 🙂 Have faith fellow readers.

    • All that means, is at the end of the end, that future will unfold. It might be another 30-40 years of her all but re-acquiring her soul again. She is just a body now at this point. I also am going to just imagine that the author forgot about that part, and will choose to ignore it. 🙂

    • Yeah we can’t really rush bagelson because he is TL-ING for fun and to get better at it. So everyone always complaining that it is too slow and for him to hurry up would actually be counter productive to all of our causes. Would you like to be the one to rush him finally making him take an extended break because it’s not fun anymore? We should all be greatfull to bagelson and wait patiently for him to complete his work. I only wish I took classes in foreign languages while in school T_T boohoo
