Additional delay

I would like to apologize for the late delay notice and thank you for your patience. You are all amazing! 

While I was getting better early last week I suddenly became extremely sick later in the week (I'm still not well, I just have enough energy to sit at my computer and type this ou...

Delay due to author's health

Hi Everyone!

As you can tell from the title of this post, I am not doing well. I have a nasty cold that I’m fighting. I barely managed to write this. It rained earlier this week and my dumbass thought I’d be fine going out in the rain with only an umbrella and no coat (since I would onl...

Sadly, I have a bit of bad news on my end (I mentioned it a bit o...

WIAFTTTTA - Extras - Does Anybody Like Christmas Episodes?

Author’s note: Happy Holidays everyone! You are the best readers ever!

If you’re wondering, I actually do like Christmas episodes... mostly when they’re well done. The South Park ones are my favorite and I used to watch them every year. But I know that not everyone ap...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 16 🎸)

I taught Little Spring, a song inspired by Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams, on both guitar and flute. Three Winds Elegant Notes and Bright Blinding Melody, had produced it. They’d been so proud whe...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 15 🎸)

I crossed my arms and glared down at my mentee. “Three Drops Silent Toxin.”

He winced. “I know! The beat was off.”

“It’s good that you figured that out. While playing rock and having fun is important, there are times when you could be put in a life and death situation wher...

“I’m going to have them teach me,” Little Spring said with a proud grin.

I blinked.

::I noticed that I gain a deeper understanding of a topic when you ask me to teach it back to you in my own words.::

Ah! Right. The Explain it to Someone Else to ...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 13 🎸)

After I brought my two new students into my shared courtyard, I set up a soundproof formation — which was essentially a simplified obfuscation array. Next, I took the drum set out and gestured for Three Drops Silent Toxin to sit on its stool.

He glanced at each drum and cymbal with curios...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 12 🎸)

As I escorted Shadow Panther and Three Drops back to my courtyard, I started giving them introductions on the Dao of Rock. Since I planned to put these two through hell for the next week, I figured that I should start early.

After lecturing for a while, I paused to let the topics sink in. 2023-11-16 09:28:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 11 🎸)

“Or you could give up your pills and we’ll let you live,” Broken Serpent offered.

Three Drops Silent Toxin seemed to think about it for a moment, then punched the nearest guy — a bald poison body cultivator — in the face before taking out a knife.

Baddie clutched his nose an...

Delay Due to Health

Hi everyone! As you can probably guess from the title of this post, my cold (the same one my son has that lasted for four weeks) has begun to kick my ass. Worse, it’s begun to affect my head (affecting my decision making) which I sadly need for editing and writing. For example, I should have se...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 10 🎸)

Little Spring walked over while carrying a tome on Beast Blood Contractors. His brow furrowed and his eyes lost focus.

“Find something troubling?” I asked.

“It’s just. Very different from what I thought it would be like.”

I grabbed the tome from his hands and looked th...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 9 🎸)

With Little Spring’s help, we finished all the instruments, including the drum set, before the sun rose. As Foundation Establishment cultivators, we didn’t have to sleep every day, so we merely cleaned up and left the space. A commotion outside caught my attention.

I stepped out of my r...

Notice: No Chapters This Week

Hi everyone!

So, while I was still recovering from my bug, my Little Dragon caught it. This means he’s had to stay home with me and be a truly horrible patient, as I assume most 5 year olds are. Basically, I haven’t had my normal editing/writing hours this week so I was not able to get ...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 8 🎸)

The courtyard had three separate houses. I took the nearest one and left Little Spring and Gold String to argue about who would stay where.

While inside my room, I set up my defensive formations. The kid could set up his own arrays and, as a rogue cultivator, Gold String, would have some wa...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 7 🎸)

If merely easing rage was my goal, there were many songs I could choose from. But this was a test. If I only solved the issue and didn’t help the person move forward, the underlying anger would eventually return. What I needed to play here was a song that not only soothed rage, but overcame it....

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 6 🎸)

Little Spring picked up Xiao Bai. He sent an exasperated look at the puppy and I could have sworn he said, ‘You’re as bad as my older martial sister,’ but that couldn’t be right. I was obviously significantly better than Xiao Bai. At least, when it came to assessing danger. However, if we...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 4 🎸)

When I stepped out of the building, Lord Bountiful finished speaking with an aide. The young man bowed, took a jade slip from the city lord, and ran off. He turned around and smiled at me. “Did you talk about everything you needed to?”

“I did.”

“Then perhaps, before you go, ...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 3 🎸)

While I waited in the guild’s main room with the bored clerk, I mentally reviewed some of the songs I’d memorized that could be useful. Of course, there were only so many I could play. Much like with my other disciplines, I was held back due to my realm. My internal Qi’s quality and amount ...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 2 🎸)

I hopped off the woman’s head. She was also in Foundation Establishment but wore purple robes that were much more sophisticated than what I was currently wearing. I had to admit that the clothes in this part of the world were very pretty. It made me wonder if the Manhua version of the original ...

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (Part 1 🎸)

-330 Years ago in Fairy Lin’s past-

I stood in midair above the sect and glared at the Four Arts Peak Master Clean Brushstroke. The urge to kill her and her peak elders practically overwhelmed me, but my willpower was greater. Besides, nothing good would come from their deaths. I...

Story 10 Bonus - Catching Up: A Dao of Paperwork Short Story

I rushed into the sect leader’s hall where Unyielding Firestorm was just finishing his conversation with Peak Master Verdant Bamboo.

Once she left, he turned to me. “Early Rise Swift Brush! You’re finally here!”

His lips were smiling, but I noticed a flash of panic in his eyes...
