Master is old chapter 3

Chapter 3! I was just wondering if you guys are enjoying this story because I saw that the its ratings are really bad on novelupdates haha. I don't think this story is fantastic but I do think it's a short and cute story nonetheless and wanted to share it with everyone. I'm not sure, is it the story itself or my translations? Anyway, for those of you who do like it, enjoy~

Chapter 3

I stopped accepting disciples, even if this youth had a face more attractive than the Qinghan I first met.

Thinking about the past made me lose my appetite.

The person opposite me carefully observed my expression and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”

Master is old Chapter 2


I finished translating faster than expected so here you go! But I think the rest of the chapters will still stick to a weekly schedule. Also, please point out any mistakes, thanks!

Chapter 2
Actually, about a hundred years ago, I also once had a disciple. But that disciple died...
  
He stole my divine sword, rebelled against me, went to settle his personal grudges and then he...

Master is old prologue and chapter 1


Hello! I'm back after more than 2 years! I'm busy refining my past translations (which made me cringe) and organising my posts.

This story is from a web novel by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang called the Master Series and it's published under the name Master Feels Stifled, the name of the first story. It is a collection of 4 short xianxia stories about Master-disciple relationships. This is the 3rd story in the collection, Master is old. There are 8 chapters and it will be a weekly release (or more) so it should take 2 months or less to be completed. After I'm done I will pick another Jiu Lu Fei Xiang story to translate cuz I love her xianxia novels.

Story 1: Master feels stifled
Story 2: Master is sick
Story 3: Master is old
Story 4: Master, let's fight

Note:
3 worlds refer to the heavenly realm, the human realm and the demon realm.
  
Prologue
  
I was the last ancient immortal, hailed as the female War God. After fighting for half my life, when the 3 worlds were at peace, I lost my job. I've already forgotten how long I’ve lived. I’ve seen the happiness of youth, the destitution of the poor, cycle after cycle of life, over and over again. The more time passed, the less I yearned for the things of the world.
  
I think, the day I die is not too far off.
  
But the heavens would not let me quietly leave and insisted on throwing a new episode in my life when I was quickly approaching the grave. It was even the colour of spring...

The kind that all three worlds knew about….
  
The kind that...
  
made me unable to save my old face.

Chu Wang Fei Mini Snippet


Ps, still cannot reply comments using my phone because replies will double :( This is very short and unedited translation.

Yun Qian Meng had nothing to do and her hands felt rather itchy, thus she allowed Mu Chun to prepare some brocade so that she could learn to embroider from Mi Momo.  It was just that the embroidery needle refused to listen to her, after more than half a day, others would have completed a peony blossom while she had barely managed to finish a rather crooked four leaf clover, some of its parts were densely stitched together while other parts were had sparse stitchings, honestly it was rather ugly!

Her neck was starting to get sore and she lifted her head up, only to find that it was already dark, thus she allowed Mu Chun and the other servants to go back and rest. After that, she once again engaged in a battle with the embroidery needle.

“What is this? Why does it look so peculiar?” A black shadow suddenly blocked off the candle light in front of Yun Qian Meng’s eyes.
Hearing this, Yun Qian Meng lifted her head up only to find Chu Fei Yang in a black brocade robe, bending down to examine her embroidery with curiosity. She immediately felt extremely embarrassed, without even thinking, she adeptly covered the four leaf clover, refusing to let Chu Fei Yang see her terrible handiwork!

“Aiya…”  She had forgotten that the embroidery needle still stuck out from the brocade and accidentally pricked her right index finger, the pain caused her to exhale and her delicate eyebrows pressed together slightly.

“So careless!” With regards to Yun Qian Meng’s rarely seen rashness, even though Chu Fei Yang’s used a reproachful tone, he still grabbed her right hand and looked at the thin pinkish finger’s drop of scarlet blood. Without much thought, he placed her finger into his mouth.

Just friends?! Synopsis + Snippet

This is originally a Taiwanese novel so you read it up to down, right to left in traditional Chinese. I borrowed this book from a friend, it's in simplified Chinese cuz I can't read traditional Chinese hohoho, but the book retained its vertical sentence structure. It's about two childhood friends, both named Ting Yu. The female Ting Yu is tall and often mistaken for a handsome boy while the male is a flower boy. the story shows how they grow, how they both broke up with their partners and fell in love etc. This story is honestly not my cup of tea but I did find some of the character's interactions cute and funny.

Synopsis:

"From friends to lovers, there is a benefit. Because the two people already have a certain degree of closeness so they can pass the awkwardness of people who have just started dating."

"What about lovers who became friends?"

"That will be even more precious. Because we have loved before, lost before, so we will understand each other even better and know how to treasure this friendship which is not easily obtained."

"Then what if we were friends and became lovers and then became friends again?"

Chu Wang Fei Snippet Chapter 98

[1] The Bei Qi imperial family were here and were also looking for a marriage alliance. Bei Qi is weaker compared to this country.
*I forgot who was the Crown Prince and Tenth Prince so there may be a mix up...
Background info:
The females were in the outer court of the imperial gardern. The males the inner court. All sorts of people wanted to implicate Yun Qian Meng and make her marry one of the Bei Qi royalties. Or maybe make the Bei Qi princess marry Chen Wang or Chu Fei Yang? Yun Qian Meng took a pill and drew dots on her face to feign illness so that she could wear a veil  Anyway, in the end Hai Tian was the sacrifice.
Fine gauze veils used in ancient times.

Recommended Manhua Wo Jia Da Shi Xiong Nao Zi You Keng

There is an English translation for this Manhua and it is amazing as it is only being translated by one person I think, at an extremely fast rate. This manhua is so funny, and I think Da Shi Xiong looks so cool ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ (Only his looks hahaha) Anyway, the author of this manhua is also writing a novel with a similar title on this manhua, I haven't read it. Scrya is translating the ebook.
