    If by translation, you mean you missed the word Footnotes that was in italics.

    Or using a hand tractor because the sword won't fit enough people.

    What wonderful luck. A large scale attack from the Netherworld is exactly what they need for the movie ;)

    But they kinda did the netherworld thing already. I wonder how the author will mix things up to make it different. It sounds like this is large scale compared to just before.

    Which locks them into using the same style of "props" in future scenes.
    Luckily senior white's luck is in play and a steady stream of them will keep on coming

    Right, which makes this the part of the movie where the MC is fighting on the front lines.

    For a moment you lost me… I see the problem is.
    It should be read like this ‘治国 (rule the country), 齐家 (govern the family), 平天下 (pacify the world)’ to make more sense.


    治 = rule
    国 = country
    齐 = govern
    家 = family
    平 = peace (pacify), translated as ‘bring’ in QI translation
    天 = Heaven, translated as ‘peace’ in QI translation
    下 = under, translated as ‘world’ in QI translation

    When ‘’ and ‘’ was combined into a single word ‘天下’, it means ‘(land) under the Heaven’ or ‘the world’. An example is ‘天下第一’, meaning ‘Number One under the Heaven’ or ‘Number One in the World’.

    I don’t know which dictionary that translate ‘’ as ‘peace’ and ‘’ as ‘bring’.

    Nope, Venerable White’s license plate is ‘天 888’ in the RAWS, which literally means ‘Heaven 888’ or figuratively means ‘Heavenly Luck Luck Luck’, and definitely not ‘Peace 888’. Which is why the elder said it’s a really good number.


    Again, nope, Lychee’s license plate is ‘平 2333’ in the RAWS which means ‘Peace 2333’ and definitely not ‘Bring 2333’.

    Although the ‘’ in 治国齐家平天下 means ‘peace’ but it can also mean ‘flat’ as in ‘平胸’ (flat chest). The slang usage is a reanalysis of Princess Taiping (
    太平公主). Rather than the title of a princess in Tang DynastyPrincess of Grand Peace’, it refers to flat-chested women (Princess Too Flat).

    233 is a Chinese slang that means ‘LoL’. 2333 is a slightly longer version of LoL, LooL.

    When ‘’ and‘2333’ combined, it can means ‘Flat (chested), LooL’.

    I hope this clear up the confusion.

    https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/chooseyourwords/homonym-homophone-homograph/

    In english, saying "prey" or "pray" out loud sounds the same. This is a homophone
    In hebrew
    Pray is "Lehitpalel"
    Prey is "Tereph"
    In german
    Pray is "Beten"
    Prey is "Opfer"
    etc.

    This is similar but with english being the foreign language.
    In chinese there happens to be some wordplay going on that just does not translate.
    So the translator is telling us there is a wordplay there and that basically a flat chest joke
    The translator did not clarify if it is a homograph, homophone, homonym, or pun.

    After tipping Uncle Mountain upside-down, right now SS must be feeling lucky to have his daoist's name being known by the group members as Daoist Seven Names i/o his old Stressed by Mountain of Books

    Could it mean Roll (LoL) You Flat?

    _I O O I_ .. her car's front light (or tyre)

    As we already know, she's natural Road Killer. So instead of 233, author uses 2333 to represent her car. Who dare stand in front, take care! She has the License to Run you Flat!

    Why is she called flat? If that is flat in Chinese standards then I don't know what endowed is.

    Its a random teasing caused by the side effect of White's charm and luck?

    As a treasure intended for a third stage junior, I'm not sure what these sixth and seventh stage seniors expect to get out of it...


    I wonder if the kamikaze driver will even be able to intentionally run someone over. It feels like she'd miss...
