*TW*The ML is scum who actually rapes his wife in one of the first few chapters. This is the guy we're eventually supposed to root for?!? I noped right out of there.

[9] Jump in the water: I assume Luo Binghe's saying he still needs to take a bath after chopping up firewood. Instead of boiling water to the perfect toasty temperature, he's going to jump straight into freezing mountain water instead. What a hardcore guy, but I guess his method saves time.

[8] Ah Luo: Nickname used for Luo Binghe. Another cutesy way to address a person (only with people familiar with you, mind) is to add "Ah" in front. So for instance using Shen Qingqiu's name, it would be "ah Shen" if using his last name.

[7] Aura: The term used in pinyin is 'ling qi.'

[6] Yao and guai: In ancient Chinese culture, the sepcies existing in the world can be divided into shen, mo, xian, yao, ren, and yin (or heaven, Demon, Fairy, Spirit, Human, and Yin if really want a translation). Mo, yao, and yin are generally considered 'evil' or 'guai' (literally strange/weird) and therefore unorthodox. Our MC is worried about getting done-in by the opposing unorthodox side because he himself belongs to an orthodox (AKA Righteous) sect.

[5] Qin qi shu hua: I left this in the original pinyin for effect. These are the four fundamental classic accomplishments for a Chinese scholar to have - ability to play qin (a stringed traditional Chinese instrument), play qi (or chess; you might be more familiar Japanese name 'go'), write calligraphy and compose poetry (shu includes both of these), and the ability to paint (hua).

[4] Tian Gong Twelve Peaks (x): Roughly, 'Sky Temple Twelve Peaks.' Tian Gong is the name of the mountain rage where Cang Qiong sect is and an alternate name for the sect. The mountain range is made up of twelve peaks, each wit ha Peak Lord. Shen Qingqiu's Qing Jing Peak is one of the twelve.

[3] Previous life: Bit of a subtle hint that our main character probably had a terminal illness or something that would have taken his life in time.

[2] Difficulty is finding a sister: He means it's hard to pick up girls. LOL

[1] Flipped his braid: A funny saying meaning that Someone is dead. Probably comes from around Qing Dynasty times = the hairstyle or men was a long braid down the back and if your braid 'flips,' you're dead. The little emotes are supposed to be two whited eyeballs I think. XD
