More announcement!
Now that QQ has “matured” — as in I have launched the last tier in my plan on Patreon, I am going to start looking for a second book to translate. If you are the observant type you’d know that I have tried other projects before but none of them were all flops. :'(
So here’s what I am going to do: I am going to pick 2-3 books and translate the first few chapters. Just like you guys have spoken up on the pingyin v translated names, I will gauge their respective popularity based on their ratings on NovelUpdates. The final one that I decide on will depends, naturally, on both reader’s feedback + a little bit of my personal preference.
Any feedback on these books will be much appreciated — what you like about them, and more importantly, what you don’t like about them. My other series had gotten poor rating but nobody shared the reasoning behind it. >.< So feed back will be much appreciated. 🙂
So keep your eyes open for my new book(s) to come!

“Thank you, mom!” Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved.
“Big sister! Big sister!” Came the crisp, childish voice of Lan Lan from the outside. Cheng Xiao Xiao exchanged a look with her mother before little Lan Lan’s little body came running inside. Out of breathe, she said, “Big sister, there are a lot of people outside!”
“A lot of people?”
This was when Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered the reminder from little Yuteng. She was reading the letter from her mother when she ignored little Yuteng telling her something about some interesting people had arrived.
“Don’t worry, let me go see!” Cheng Xiao Xiao gathered from little Yuteng’s words that these weren’t the visitors of the friendly type today.
The three of them walked out into the courtyard. They didn’t pay attention to Innkeeper Zhu, who was now teaching the maids the proper way to walk, but instead turned their attention toward the group of people approaching them from the entrance of the village.
Even though the people haven’t arrived yet, Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to tell who they are. She squinted and waited for them next to the vegetable fields.
A few disciples that were responsible for surveilling came with them. In the front of them was Liu Danhuang. He greeted Mrs. Cheng and said, “Shi mu1, the associate dean of School of Divine Condor wanted to meet with Master!”
Mrs. Cheng nodded slightly and ordered in a soft voice, “Go fetch your master!”
“Yes, madam!” Liu Danhuang wasted no time before rushing toward the foothills behind the house.
Everybody’s eyesight fell upon Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xiao Xiao. To be more precise, all sorts of curious, surprised, disdainful, and contemptuous looks all feel upon Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Ignoring everybody’s look, Cheng Xiao Xiao’s cold and clear eyes looked straight at the old man with long goatee. Even though she didn’t know exactly who he was, she could tell he was of upper management.
“So you are Cheng Xiao Xiao?” The associate dean looked at this unaffected girl in front of him and asked lightly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows gently and asked, “Unless your name is also Cheng Xiao Xiao?”
HA!
Someone busted out laughing! Under the cold stare of Mu Qingtong, everybody tried to refrain their urge to laugh.
The associate dean’s face froze for a second. He didn’t lose his temper, just nodded and asked, “Were you the one who attacked three of our students on the road two days ago?”
“Where’s your evidence?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao casually.
“Evidence? They are the evident!”
The associate dean was aggressive and unreasonable. He stared at her with both eyes and said, “They saw your weapon attacked them, isn’t that enough?”
“Oh! So nobody saw me then. By the way, what was my weapon? I don’t even know, how do you all know better than I do?” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them curiously, but deep down within hid the sarcasm.
“Cheng Xiao Xiao, so you are not going to admit to it then? Everybody knows that you can attack people with vines! We can all attest to it, don’t you try to deny it!” Mu Qingtong stood up front and gave her an austere stare.
“I can testify to that too! Cheng Xiao Xiao can use vine to tie people up!”
“Yeah! I can too! Cheng Xiao Xiao uses vine as her weapon!”
“Cheng Xiao Xiao, we have all been tied up by your vines! Don’t you try to deny that!”
Several of the students who had been to the Cheng’s previously stood out one by one and each and everyone of them accused her zealously as though she had committed some horrible crimes.
From the back, Gu Jinxian took everything in as the drama unfold all the while never taking his off the girl named Cheng Xiao Xiao.
