Favorite moments from MDZS manhua FINAL chapter, 259 😭😭😭:

(covers novel chap 113, adapted in audio drama S3Ep17, donghua ep 35, MDZS Q donghua chap 30 & The Untamed ep 50)

WANGXIAN FOREVER AND EVER 😭😭😭💖💖💖

WangXian becoming folk heroes 😭

THEY SO CUTE 😭😭😭

I'm gonna miss seeing this gremlin so damn much my heart is already HURTING 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I LIKE IT TOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

WANGXIAN HAPPILY EVER AFTER EVERY SINGLE TIME FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

With that, the MDZS manhua officially concludes. 😭😭😭 In other words, the last iteration we have of WangXian concludes. 😭😭😭 I wish I could believe that we'll be seeing the extra chapters illustrated starting next week, but tbh I'm not holding my breath on that...as things are going now, I think I should be relieved we got the happily ever after ending as it was in the novel.

Not that I'm not more than little sad about it: the manhua was my last hope that we would finally get to see the extras visually brought to life, so I'm actually a bit heartbroken that it probably won't happen. People usually focus on the sex in the extras but they're actually so much more than that: I'm so sad that we won't be seeing in manhua form Wei Ying back in Gusu Lan as Lan Zhan's husband, enjoying a family banquet with Uncle Lan, or the husbands working together with their son Sizhui on a case, or the husbands on their Yunmeng date. 😭 We're losing out on so so much 😭😭😭 Of course in a perfect world I would be able to come back next week and cross out everything I just said...so I can only continue to hope until then. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you to the manhua team & artist Mao Tuan Xiao Jian Jian-laoshi (Twitter: @maotuanxjj) for beautifully illustrating MDZS, it's been quite an amazing journey seeing them and everyone else we love in MDZS brought to life every week! I hope we'll eventually get another chance at reliving the saga again, and hopefully next time WangXian's love story will be unfettered by censorship.

Finally, thank you to Queen MXTX, without whom none of this would be possible. Please continue to support her through getting her books, in whichever language you can.

Phoenix Mountain Revisited

BUT FIRST, manhua artist Mao Tuan Xiao Jian Jian-laoshi (@maotuanxjj on Twitter) gifted us with the uncensored version of the kiss in chapter 255 from last week:

This week, Wei Ying finally discovers the identity of shy, strong "lady" who kissed him on Baifeng (Hundred Phoenix) Mountain :

They are each other's first kiss 🥹

Again thank you to Maotuanxjj-laoshi for posting this uncensored version of their next kiss:

Next week, hopefully, everyday is everyday!

Don't forget to give the manhua artist @maotuanxjj (on Twitter) some love!

Favorite moments in the MDZS manhua chap 242:

(covers novel chaps 102-103, audio drama S3Ep14, donghua ep 35, & The Untamed ep 48)

Grape Uncle has become a sad little raisin who's in pain 😢

Poor Jin Ling baby boy needed a hug so bad! 🥺🥺🥺

At least Wei Ying has Lan Zhan there for moral support.

I was seriously split between feeling bad for Jin Ling and feeling bad for Jiang Cheng...

...look, I know JC's hands aren't clean, he's done some super shitty stuff to probably innocent people over the years because of his seething anger at Wei Ying...BUT I still love him because I know ultimately he loved Wei Ying through and through. The greater his love, the more painful the perceived betrayal. His anger and the resulting actions from it may not forgivable, but it's completely understandable and I'm sure he'll hurt for a long time over it.

😔😔😔 Yunmeng Twin Prides no more 😭😭😭

Welp, get ready for more pain...up next, Big Bro Xichen and all the knives that he doesn't deserve.

Favorite moments from MDZS manhua chap 241:

(covers novel chap 102, adapted in audio drama S3Ep14, kiiiinda in donghua ep 35 & The Untamed ep 47)

Lan Wangji is not only the creator, CEO, president, CFO, COO, VP, secretary, treasurer of the Wei Ying Protection Squad, but also the always active and on duty member of the team

I literally forgot Nie Huaisang was present (he got caught a few chapters ago by Su She) until I saw him passed out on the ground there...and initially for a split sec I thought that was Wei Ying, who had fainted for some reason. 😅

I will never get tired of seeing WangXian being all cuddly in front of everyone and God. 🥺😭💖

Oof. Angy Grape Uncle times begins.

Lan Zhan ready to murder Jiang Cheng with just his beautiful eyeballs.

Lan Zhan is so damn hot. Best boyfriend/future husband EVER.

Yup, that's murder in his eyes.

JC got so worked up he busted open his own wound but I love how Lan Zhan was still not giving an inch to his angry future grape-in-law. 🔥

Favorite moments in the MDZS manhua chap 239:

(covers novel chaps 100-101, adapted in the audio drama S3Ep13-14...I love the donghua and The Untamed with all my heart but neither of those adaptations came close to the sugar overload that was in the og book, the AD and now the manhua)

WangXian gave me diabetes

The way Lan Zhan protec 🥺🥺🥺

Wei Ying in full gremlin mode gives me life

THEY ARE SO CUTE I CANTTTT

LOOK LOOK LOOK!!!

I am ded

So are they 😂

Grape Uncle makes a hot AF entrance...

...and immediately gets murderously nauseous 🤣🤣🤣

WangXian was being totally disgustingly cute but they deserved all this dammit, so they can be as nauseating as they want, FOREVER. I love them so much I am so happy for them!! 😭😭😭😭

Courting the Foxxian~ 

Favorite moments in the MDZS manhua chap 233:

(covers novel chaps 96-97, til now, adapted only by the audio drama S3Ep12)

Sad WangXian times continue...enjoy these final knives while they last...thank God they don't.....

When "Can I have two rooms?" are the saddest words ever heard

It hurt my heart a little seeing Lan Zhan sadly put his forehead ribbon back on

Sad Wei Ying is sad

Sad but still kinda hornee Wei Ying is EVEN sadder 😭

Regrets he has many

Wen Ning is so adorable! And also I lol'd when Wei Ying said he'd quit drinking. Yeah, right, SURE, Wei Ying. We believe you. (yes I am trying not to think of exactly WHY he drinks cuz this chapter is sad enuf)

WangXian Adventures at Guanyin Temple Begins!

MDZS manhua chap 232: Welp, looks like officially, WangXian's first papapa happened OFF SCREEN, but we do get the knives af aftermath 😭😭😭

(covers novel chaps 95-96; til now, only adapted in audio drama S3Ep12)

Yep, the chapter just starts like this 😂. So no bathtub to bed papapa scene it seems. Haven't seen any leaks of it either. I guess this is a clever way to naturally bypass that scene without making it too obvious that it's due to censorship. But hey! At least they still absolutely acknowledged that WangXian slept together. I was kinda expecting a more severe edit tbh. Thankful they didn't just jump to Guanyin Temple.

Interestingly enough, in the book, Wei Ying's words of thanks was more lengthy: "In these two lives, you've helped me a lot. I know you're... really nice to me. You're really great! Apart from thank you, I don't know what else to say to you... Anyways, towards you, I feel... I feel...." --from chap 95, translated by Exiled Rebels. In this chap of the manhua, Wei Ying only THOUGHT most of that...what came out was only his thank you. Either way, end result was still the same...

Lan Zhan still misunderstood and thought Wei Ying slept with him just out of gratitude so he shoves him away. 😢

He's so wrought with emotion he's shaking. 😢😢😢

More knives: Wei Ying feeling so ashamed, thinking that he took advantage of Hanguang-jun who was just being platonically nice, that Lan Zhan doesn't like him THAT way. 😭

Seeing Wei Ying tremble like that, Lan Zhan wanted to reach out to help him put on his clothes....

This whole scene always makes my heart clench up. First time I read it in the book I actually cried cuz I just felt so bad for Wei Ying...he just felt so ashamed...when there was absolutely no reason for him to be. Ugh. Honestly I feel bad for both of them. Misunderstandings suck ass.

The chapter ends with Wei Ying just dismissing their papapa as nothing, pretty much just two bros helping each other out 😂. I laugh but ofc the knife is twisted further into Lan Zhan's heart.

no thoughts just wangxian bathtub scene

MDZS manhua chap 230: whatever most importantly, LAN ZHAN IS NAKED

Lan Zhan looking dirty so Wei Ying suggests a bath....

Wei Ying actually shocked that Lan Zhan wastes no time getting naked 😂 Honey, he's been waiting for this moment for more than 13 years

Eye porn

Lan Zhan doesn't want to bathe alone 🔥

His disappointment is so adorable!

Wei Ying is pretty much in full gay panic mode through most of this 🤣

More eye porn...

...followed by some tubside TLC from Wei Ying

WangXian bathtub ppp next week most likely...I AM NOT READY!!!! Honestly I'm not expecting much in the actual official chapter but I cannot wait to see the censored leaked frames. 🤤🤤🤤

Favorite moments in the MDZS manhua chap 228:

(covers novel chap 93, donghua ep 35, audio drama S3Ep12, & The Untamed ep 36)

Drunk fun times with Lan Zhan and Bichen

Once he's gotten a taste of Wei Ying how can he ever let go?

Lan Zhan trying to give Bichen some action 😂

When trying to stop a rampaging drunk man with a sword, just hug him around the 🍆

Lan Zhan will give you his everything, Wei Ying. (Happy Wei Ying is so cute)

How can they not kiss???!!!

That waist clutch 🔥🔥🔥

Lan Zhan's career as a chicken thief begins!

Lan Zhan bites

With only one bed in the room, it looks like they're on their honeymoon and Lan Zhan's beloved just woke up from their ppp. 😁 Dialogue: the innkeeper lady is asking where they came from and to rest up well if they traveled from afar.

Lady speaking truths

Drunk Lan Zhan part 2

MDZS Manhua: Chapter 226 scene

AKA two of my favorite moments of WWX having an existencial crisis

(translates panels under the cut!)

Keep reading

Favorite moments in the MDZS manhua chap 226:

(from novel chaps 91-92, adapted in audio drama S3Ep10 & The Untamed ep 46...kinda...)

WangXian shares a room at THE INN

First, business talk at Guanyin Temple

Then the inn...yes, this is the inn where the tub magic will happen 😁 Love how awks and blushy they look.

Bless this innkeeper! She gets it!

That was an unnecessarily romantic moment.

Just Lan Zhan being forever caring and considerate of Wei Ying per usual.

I appreciate very much how Wei Ying got down to his inner robes. Also the way he flomped on the bed was adorable.

So sweet.

He flomps again 😂

Of COURSE the answer is YES, Wei Ying. DUH.

It's probably gonna be another week or two before drunk Lan Zhan again which then leads into WangXian's bathtime fun...unless they just cut to the chase and get to the drunken shenanigans right away next week. 🤞🤞🤞😁
