I'm going to try and make a coherent comment but my mind is overwhelmed with how good this last two episodes are.…
I think ZY saw ZYC in that place because he did not actually see ZYC but Lord BingYi. Maybe he was remembering a past life when he was Lord Ying Long, and thought about it like LBY was the counterpart for LYL, as Li Lun was supposed to be for him, ZY - until ZYC came along...
Please don't take a break now, please don't take a break now...You think they can't amp it up more and then they…
I hope Bai Jiu isn't lost forever. I don't trust Li Lun to be telling the truth - and he also said he put half his soul in that needle. Maybe the rest of it isn't enough to keep the kid down.
WHY DID THE SWORD BREAK!!!!!!
Where did Ao Yin go? (And why didn't she destroy the bow? I would've).
OMG evil demon Zhu Yan is way too crazy for me suddenly, LOL. I'll take kind-hearted Zhu Yan back, please and thank you!
That almost-kiss destroyed me...
ZYC can't be dead, so I'm not that worried, but what are they going to do with the sword? Re-make it? I get LOTR vibes right now LOL.
ETA He's baaaack!! (But he took Bai Jiu, I'm so conflicted right now...)
Forget saving. He'll be lucky if they don't end up getting him killed.
I don't think the whole gang will die... I don't have much hope for ZY and there were rumours about another one, but the others should survive. I mean, by the end of the story, obviously, otherwise I think it's safe to assume they're all going to die at the end of their days LOL.
I second Blood of Youth. Also if you don't mind BL adaptations, Guardian and Word of Honor. But fair warning:…
So don't call it dirty, that's all I'm saying. Just a simple courtesy.
Though TBH... watching so many famous BL-themed dramas or dramas with heavy bromance does give a certain impression. *shrugging* Not that I care, to each their own.

I am not angry (though please don't turn this into an straw man tactic, I hope we're all adults here). I've met and talked with many persons who seem to think there is only one right way to live. My problem is not with their opinions, everybody is free to form any opinion they want, obviously. More POVs and more open discussions lead to better lives for everybody.
My problem is with being so carelessly and ignorantly offensive just because people assume everyone will think the same as they do. Which doesn't happen. Please do not label something you do not approve of, for your own reasons (which don't actually interest me, I can imagine many reasons that would lead to such ignorance and thoughtless attitude toward way too many people) with a pejorative. It's not "dirty" because you don't like it. It just is on itself, and it's not unnatural, despite your feelings. You don't have to participate, you don't have to approve, you don't have to take any action - at least don't insult something you don't really know much about.
So what I'm saying, in short, (because things may be lost in translation), don't label swathes of people you think less of because they're not of the majority orientation. You might hurt someone close to you who will never be their true self to you because of your attitude and words.
As for myself, I don't really care for some random person on the internet, LOL. I just hope discrimination isn't just allowed quietly, even here on MDL.

As long as nobody goes around judging based on prejudice and throwing pejorative labels at them, yes, everybody can live however they want. You could apply the "live and let live" saying for everyone, not just your preferred part of mankind. It's not hard to be kind, and words do have power. Be careful with them, if you will.
The Prime-Minister, too. He was the one who hurt the mountain god, his friend, because he wanted more knowledge...…
Yes, the term was fixed by CWC. But the original order came from the Prime Minister (well, officially the Emperor) - and there's the inherent danger when they can't solve the case. The PM didn't care about what happened if they failed - AND didn't care what happened to the demon himself, obviously.
He was just doing a math game - throw a few people at the problem, see if they can solve it, if not, oh well, we'll throw somebody else at the problem. But in the meantime, the original DHB would definitely have faced consequences for not fulfilling the Imperial Order.
I've always seen him as cruel/cold and definitely NOT their friend. Even more so when the Imperial Order could be so easily altered by precisely DHB's competitors, who have a vested interest in bringing them down.
When they revealed that the scholar who attacked Zhu Yin was the one who eventually became the Prime Minister, it wasn't even that surprising, considering.
The Prime-Minister, too. He was the one who hurt the mountain god, his friend, because he wanted more knowledge...…
...Erm. Did you forget who gave the order for the DHB to get Ran Yi and do it in under 5 days, wait, make that ONE day, or be forced to commit suicide? Yes the ChongWu Camp altered the order... but the order did come directly from the Emperor, under the PM's guidance. He wasn't any innocent no matter how you look at it, LOL.
I second Blood of Youth. Also if you don't mind BL adaptations, Guardian and Word of Honor. But fair warning:…
Well, if you don't like same-sex relationships, keep in mind nobody's forcing you to be in one.
As for The Untamed, though heavily censored, it is based on a very much danmei (BL) Chinese novel, so there's that. Obviously you can like whatever you like, but I think you're taking it too far calling BL "dirty". Don't like BL, don't watch/read it. Same-sex relationships have survived from the beginning of the species, I think they'll survive today's haters too.
The Prime-Minister, too. He was the one who hurt the mountain god, his friend, because he wanted more knowledge...…
For exactly the same reason - he thought he knew better. He was certain he had everything under control, playing the world of human knowledge against the broken world of demons and WIN. Because all his knowledge comes from books and is dry, with not much outside or practical input...
It's obvious he doesn't give in much to emotions, or he wouldn't have done that to his friend... But in the end, he failed to take into account the actual violence of the real (drama) world, so he got in over his head and was removed.
I'll bet he never ever considered anyone would go against HIM - he probably thought he was the outside observer who would be left out by the people involved in the fight between men and demons all the time, since HE didn't see himself as involved, LOL.

The masked guy is Bai Jiu's ex master, the doctor. Wen XongZu I think is his name. He is still alive and kicking, sadly.
Li Lun's news of demise might've been greatly exaggerated, too, LOL.

As I've said... good riddance!
I don't think he ever regretted or thought he had done wrong.
Just read the lyrics to see why they're using it right then in the story...
