heaven official's blessing is so ridiculous sometimes xD
i'm at the mount tonglun part of the story and just can't help imagining it from the state preceptor's point of view:
state preceptor stands inside the mountain, trying to discuss his plans with the mountain spirit. then:
a screaming, banished ex-heavenly official runs past
another heavenly official runs past, in dogged pursuit of the first one
am exiled god and a ghost girl make it rain scorpion-snakes for some reason and they do it so much that snakes get stuck halfway in the moving walls
a bit further away, a currently-male-but-actually-a-woman god is getting dragged around by their robes like a sack of rice, so very much not in control it's not even funny (to them. to us it's very funny)
even further away, a godly general is punching the walls with a makeshift 'weapon' made of a poisoned femur bone, so hard that the bone cracks
and when/if the state preceptor tries to open up a new path, what would he have found? his darling ex-mentee protegé using the "walls are moving" excuse to grind against a ghost king as they make puppy eyes at each other xD
state preceptor: "..."
state preceptor: "that's it! i quit!"
