YAY!

《Tigers Sniff the Rose》 theories 1️⃣3️⃣/?

First introduction to He Yanjing as well. Not sure if he has any connection to any of the mystic nine families though. We didn't get to know his real name, but he knows Xiaoge hmmmmm.

I really liked the few conversations that Wu Xie had with Xiaoge and I have already posted them in separate posts. 真的很心疼小哥 TT.TT I also need to mention that Pangzi is such a ride or die friend (?) and always being there for Wu Xie is just so precious. From Wu Xie's pov, he himself has not admitted that they are good friends yet but I don't care xD

The 蛇沼鬼城 arc is not done yet and it continues in volume 5 since we have only just arrived to the entrance. I'm curious, what does Queen of the West have anything to do with King Wannu? Every tomb that Wang Zanghai has been to have had things related to each other. Can't help but think that this still has something to do with seeking immortality. Does Wang Zanghai want that as well?

I'm also confused about that tape where we saw Wu Xie (not actually him, but someone that looks like him?) crawling around. What's that about? Does any of this have anything to do with the side effects that Lao Yang said Wu Xie will have after that trip to Qinling sacred tree? He does have those weird dreams that are like a premonition of some sorts.

What is the ultimate? It's so...vague. The means to all end? The secret to life? Even Chen Wenjing also said she saw the ultimate in her notebook. I'm so curious. Is it something that we are better off not knowing?

Translation:

“I am a person without a past or a future. Everything I do is to find my connection with this world, to know where I came from, and why I am here.” He looked at his hands and said calmly, “Can you imagine someone like me disappearing from this world without anyone noticing, as if I had never existed at all, leaving no trace? Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I often doubt whether I really exist, or if I am just a phantom.” I couldn’t answer. After thinking for a moment, I said, “It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. If you disappeared, at least I would notice.”

Wu Xie: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't know where to begin."

Xiaoge: "Actually, sometimes lying to someone is to protect them. Some truths might be too much for them to bear."

Wu Xie: "Whether they can bear it or not should be their own judgment. Maybe they don't want your protection, maybe they just want a quick death? Do you understand the pain of knowing nothing?"

Xiaoge: "I understand. And I understand it better than you do. For me, there are far more things I want to know than you do, but I don't have anyone I can ask as readily as you do."
