What motivation do I have to obey your word policing?

The only way they were related were their bodies since MC wasn't xir brother in the first place. That person seems to be dead. In the dream world there is not even that body relation and she is a different person as well.

Cliff hanger mislead. Plus probably a grumpy tsundere.

Me too, Either it is Sage Emperor or one of xir stooges. I'm thinking Sage Emperor considering mastery of life and death and they talk about Kongs death like a final objective but who knows with translation

Glad this was not the only chapter released today, this would have been a annoying cliffhanger.

Can hardly fault you for that. It's the cultivators version of technobabble and suddenly they pull a "heavenly demon" out of their arse.

My understanding is that Kong Ming is the evil being trying to turn their entire reality into cultivation food? Controls life and death? But you need to control other great elements to combat that like time and space or light and darkness.

That doesn't follow, a real buddhist monk would see it went to a child which is worthwhile (like the very spirit of the dead monk whos ashes make it up) and if the item is used up then there is nothing to reclaim anyway (also it might not all be used up, and it wasn't swallowed) Plus MC is a clue to their wayward monk. Which they may be pursuing as much for care of the monk as trying to reclaim the treasure.(I say "treasure" but it probably is just as much remains of a important person to them, energy or not) A fight is only inevitable if this one is both extremely idiotic and evil, which I highly doubt.

Besides they clearly let MC do that work this whole time, days of time. I am sure they didn't just arrive. The monk that gave MK the job probably ran knowing the other one would not harm them, only temporary flight having one other task to do, maybe to find lovers remains and say goodbye.

The first slightest sign of physical affection between the X couple and this happens. I have a feeling it will be temporary but perhaps keep happening.

Seems too cruel and dishonest to do that. It looks genuine. Like how she looked around first.

Seems the author wants to shake things up.

I have a feeling it will be temporary but perhaps keep happening.

Well to be fair and this is based on other comics and such, there are monsters who can talk to cast spells but otherwise unable to talk, like skeleton mages.

Otherwise there are "monsters" who have basic language among themselves but still attack humans on sight.

But the archni didn't attack them on sight, and the other ones were undead, probably the archnis people turned undead.

I have a feeling that eventually it will turn out that they don't need to be enemies and MC will even offer to help with something, like maybe whatever turned the archnis people undead. But if that happens I'll be left to wonder why it took however many chapters to reach that conclusion.

Not only did you use a misogynist slur solely based on looks with talk of violence, you said "domestic" violence, so sexually objectifying as well. Violence, bigoted hate, and sexually objectifying packed into so few words. This has nothing to do with "phrasing", there would be no good way to put that. You say it was meant as a "slight joke", but that's all the more concerning. You say you want violence but you don't talk about wishing for violence against male MC (that much bloodlust itself would deserve some self reflection)

You should see a psychologist or something about how you look at females.

Should have tried talking first, MCs side were the first to attack after all. The archni was just standing there observing them before this

It's a great series yeah. You should check out the novel, it's much further along.

Got any idea why?

What does it mean to "sniped"?

We aren't talking about a "negative character trait" but a misogynist term that generally means 'many females suck and violence is OK against females', judging by use in MK comments.

If this character was male there would be no use of the word "thot" or talk about violence against the character.

As I said elsewhere-

I had never even heard of the word "thot" before reading it in the comments of MK for the first time in the past and have never seen it used anywhere else, so I had no preconceived ideas about it. It's just that the use has always been clearly as a sexist/misogynist bigoted word. I am judging the word by its use, nothing else.

Some people in MK comments really sound like red pill incels sometimes.

False. I have witnessed that mysognist bigoted slur used many times in comments of MK and it is always used as a misogynist bigoted slur. Always used against female characters. Characters with diverse personalities and roles. Extreme suggestions of violence almost always accompanies the use of the word "thot". This example is relatively ("i want there to be atleast one domestic violence scene" is still very bad) tame but I've seen long bits of memes about murdering "thots" before.

Can you even tell me what a "thot personality" is in any specific way? Whatever definition you give will probably be violated next time the misogynist slur is used unless you are uselessly vague. And how this character fits that? (besides the original offender spoke of her face, not personality)

Even aside from the word, male characters with similar personalities and story roles rarely get the same level of hate. Male characters need to be many times worse than female characters to start getting that level of hate that some female characters get immediately.

Take this story here, she's done nothing at all wrong! She's not insulted the male MC least not significantly, she isn't mean, she's not being seductive.(like that would be some great sin anyway) Yet we get some asshole calling her a "thot" and other misogynist bigoted assholes piling in to downvote me (though granted some of that might be multi accounts) and reply with stupid, for me calling it out. Yeah let them have their bigoted fun in comments, eh?

You want to call this character a "asshole", I'll call you a idiot because that's not how she's being. You use a bigoted word in a bigoted way, I call you out on that.

In fact "niger" has less bigotry and hate attached to it than "thot" nowadays. Probably because people are sensitive about "niger" and check themselves but gleefully spout bigoted words like "thot" in a bigoted way and few do call them out. Probably because the word is much more obscure.

You know I had never even heard of the word "thot" before reading it in the comments of MK for the first time in the past and have never seen it used anywhere else, so I had no preconceived ideas about it. It's just that the use has always been clearly as a misogynist bigoted word. I am judging the word by its use, nothing else.

Just a quick check (behead) all good!

Sure, you go feel up the grass. You don't need my permission

" I simply got "thot" vibes from her"

Let's change this up a bit and say xhe was black and you said

"I simply got nigger vibes from em"

Do you still not see the problem?
