RAs are usually seniors in undergrad though?
I grew up in the foothills between the Rocky Mountains and the great plains; I can concur
Maybe a step mom??
He’s literally just walking outside of an enclosed building for the first time in 6 months, that’s completely different from going on adventures and making trouble
She truly deserves the title of Mother Empress from the way she walks all over the dad
Yeah it’s incredibly useless, to the point where I’m dropping out after a year and a half because there’s no way I’ll get a return on the amount of money I’d have to spend on getting it.
Y’all really post this dumb shit every time any woman does anything in a webnovel. Begone Thot hasn’t been funny since 2018, and even back then it was barely humorous
I assume it’s level 10 as the first stage, 11 as the second, and then for the next realm level 20 as the first stage
Over ten years in cultivation terms is basically anywhere from 10-20 years. They do this a lot in this kind of novel, where they are super unspecific with time (idk if it’s just a property of the Chinese language or if it’s a trope specifically of cultivation novels). For example, over thousands of years could be pretty much anything, from 1001 to 9999
Sparknotes
Took one too many xannies huh
Earth in the Chinese/Taoist sense is much different from Earth in the western sense. Earth could be used to refer to the one of the five stages of change (alongside Fire, Water, Wood, and Metal), or it could refer to one of the four western elements (alongside water, fire, and air), but in this case it’s likely referring to the Earth that is part of Heaven and Earth, in other words the ground or the planet, one of the supreme forces in Taoist cosmology
Really? Over half the ones I’ve seen started out with a wolf
They’re ambush predators, which means that they do wait before striking most of the time, especially snakes like anacondas whigh are non-venomous, they usually try to get in optimal “grappling” position before they cool around you and crush you
Yellow is also symbolic of the Yellow River, which is where (Han) Chinese civilization began, another reason why it is considered somewhat sacred, and Chinese people often consider themselves as “yellow people”
And yellow is a very respected color in China, representing the “huangdi” (meaning yellow emperor), who was one of the mythological Three Sovereigns, and represented the center of the world, the earth part of the five elements (not to be confused with the earth of heaven and earth, which is more the planet than the element and is often translated as ground instead of earth), and sometimes light and thunder. He is also supposedly the ancestor of the “huaxia” people (ancient Chinese or ancient Han peoples) Huangdi was originally the August Emperor but the huang meaning “august” was replaced with the homophone huang meaning “yellow”
Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven is an incredibly common system of ranking in Chinese novels guys. I’m not sure exactly where it comes from but it’s probably derived from some Taoist cosmological arrangement or something
Yep. And even if he does, it’s probably incredibly toxic in its mouth, due to its venomous nature
So that’s why the bounty has been increasing, huh 😏
