Yu Han buckled his knees, collapsing in the most unelegant manner. This split-second decision saved him as the green shadow flew over his head.
"What the actual flying fuck?" Yu Han rolled forward and sprung to his feet. "What was that?"
「It went into the wall!」 Fei Rui said. He clicked his pincers and grew to his full siz...

Before Fei Rui could finish, Elder Chang slapped him away with a wide palm. Fei Rui rolled like an oversized egg and landed on his back. His legs twitched at the sky. 「No! No no no! It's mine, it's mine—」
Elder Chang moved the bale of hay. There was a hidden space in t...
2025-01-24 21:56:01 +0000 UTC View PostI am in another timezone now, so the scheduling might get messed up.
Yu Han woke up the next morning to an unfamiliar ceiling.
Oh, right. We stayed over at the Night Alchemists’ Yard.
He was lying on a mat on the floor of the resting quarters—a small wing where Night Soil Collectors could s...

"Your acting was pretty good in the Law Enforcement Hall," Yu Han said. "Now do as I say."
"Fine," Li Yao said, stepping inside the room, though he made it amply clear he didn't like the idea. He took a deep breath, and imitating Ma San, Sima Yan's follower, shouted o...
2025-01-20 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThey stood in a copse in the forest, one side shielded by a thicket of bushes and the other by a small group of trees and vines. From here, Yu Han could see the main path leading down the mountainside by their huts, and the few side paths, one of which led to the nearby cesspool.
Three Sect disciples walked down the main mountain pa...
2025-01-17 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post「Do you want me to do the thing?」 Fei Rui asked. 「Will the green flame hurt me?」
"Do you want to?" Yu Han asked. He’s probably talking about playing whatever was projected in the pearl.
Fei Rui nodded. 「I can't be afraid of green flames. I'm a big crab, and Soft Niuniu has the ointment to make the pain hal...
2025-01-15 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe watch’s second hand moved, and the tourbillon spun like a little hurricane in a glass orb.
「What's this?」 Fei Rui held the watch up in wonder. 「Ah—」
He threw it away, retracting his eyes, limbs, and spikes into his boxy body.
"What's wrong—?"
Then Yu Han saw the anomaly. The watch was engulfed in ...

He heard himself. Li Yao. Wu Di. Qiao Jinhai. A kind voice gently calling Huang Niuniu’s name. Her own screams.
「Most dreams are just a bunch of rocks in a muddy pond,」 Fei Rui said. 「Yours is the best dream I've been in. I...
2025-01-10 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post「There are two of the two-legged ones,」 Fei Rui said. The crab scuttled as quietly as he could. 「They talk like monsters. Are they humans?」
Yu Han's heart caught in a tight grip. He looked up and saw Huang Niuniu calmly sleeping, her chest moving in a slow rhythm.
He crawled to his halberd.
No, it's too big t...
2025-01-08 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostYu Han entered the crabscape and tried to echo a stick. It worked. He echoed Huang Niuniu showing off her bioluminescence on his bed.
It worked.
"I can use Echoing Dreamscape... as long as I’m in a dreamscape?" A surge of excitement flowed through Yu Han. "Fei Rui. You can enter other people's dreams, right?"
「I think so? F...
2025-01-06 21:56:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Why is that here?” Yu Han asked, a possibility rearing its head in his mind as Fei Rui continued chattering.
「And this is the third tooth bit from the Dreamtide Leviathan—which one?」 Fei Rui stopped mid-explanation, tilting his body and looking up at Yu Han with one exposed eye.
“The parchment,” Yu Han said...

“Shouldn’t there be four?” Li Yao whispered.
“Shut it, dude,” Yu Han said.
“I’m just saying there should be four.”
“And? Are you going to bargain with a Foundation Building Realm Spirit Beast?”
Return of the green glowing slimey tube!
There was a note on the table. Yu Han picked it up and read it under the dim moonlight emanating from the window.
You may restart your shifts tomorrow. Wait until the 28th day of the ninth month before going to the Hidden Realm.

Fellow bottom dwellers. The crab hath been ordained.
“I have a few names—” Huang Niuniu started.
