So I'm guessing creepy guy didn't actually murder his wife and family, but will he actually tell her his backstory or keep ignoring her?
Looks like someone is confining him there. I think it seems like he was betrayed by someone close to him, maybe by a brother or even his son? And that thing he gave to Lok heun is supposed to be a warning towards the person who betrayed him. Or it could be some sort of encouragement or signal to his son. Anyways, the story is good so far and I'm interested to see what happens next!
Well, rather than just killing demons, what is she gonna do about basic necessities? Food, water, clothes, sleep, that stuff? Or is it gonna be hand waved "because martial arts?"
It's so refreshing to see a female lead get a training arc/timeskip??? Like, yes, give me that typical shounen training montage, give me that for a female <3
@The_DCG Probably hand waved if she doesn't uh, eat what she kills and drink their blood or something? That'd be metal as hell so I don't expect it. One of those stereotypical things they say or even joke about with high level martial artists is being able to sustain themselves on the energy of the universe alone or something. Whatever that means. Photosynthesizing like a goddamn plant while you meditate? lol
@Glomoro One of my first wuxia/xianxia comics was the US translation of The Force of Buddha's Palm from Jademan Comics. It was a slice of a long running comic from a center story arc, and had a part near the end of the run where the main character, Nine Continents, had sex with a recently introduced character, Sainted Jade (IIRC). Possibly love, possibly to "save her life," it was 30 years ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy on it. But I do remember the sex was two fully clothed martial artists lying on top of one another. We used to make fun of it, saying that it was some high level martial arts technique, "Buddha's Clothing Penetration."
I really hope the emperor gets his comeuppance in the end, or at the very least, does not end up romancing Lok Heun. Although, knowing how these things tend to work, maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up.
@Jojotrash No, different people. For one, her father personally cut him while this guy supposedly disappeared. Also, that bastard that killed her mother had facial hair.
3 years??
Wtf is she going to do for her period?!
Food, ok eat what she kills I guess.
Water...like another commenter said, drink their blood? idk
But for her period, what, just bleed out? damn
