In case you are one of the early birds who missed my mid-day update yesterday, I have opened up a poll. Hereâs the repost from yesterday:
IÂ know many of you have been reading and enjoying QQ quietly. It has come time to speak up or forever hold your peace. I have a very important question to ask you!
As the story progresses, the Nine Top Sects would appear more and more. I have been using pingyin (pronunciation) for their names, which, truth be told, is the copped out way of doing it. đ As the story progresses, I would like to solicit your opinion on whether you prefer pingyin or English translation of their names.
You can follow this to vote. You do NOT need to be a patron (but will need a free patreon account) to vote.
You will see this link for the next few days in case anyone have missed it.

The little book servant nearby felt thather beloved pet had did her proud and said in a gloating manner, âHow aboutnow? My Xiao Xue is right here. Can you tame her?â
âOf course!â Cheng Xiao Xiao looked atthe snow leopard cub full of interest. Truth be told, the mighty and cute snowleopard made her heart itched. She certainly wouldnât mind having a group ofthese herself!
âWell then hurry up!â
The little book servant might looknonchalant, the scholar beauty, on the other hand, had on her a much moreserious look. She looked intently at Cheng Xiao Xiao and had a bad feeling.
âI can tame her alright, but I have tobe upfront about something!â Cheng Xiao Xiao, finally looking away from thesnow leopard, and smiling brightly at the mistress and her book servant, said, âTheway I tame them is not the same as yours. Once I have tamed them, they willonly recognize me as their mistress. Unless I gift them away, otherwise, nobodycan take them from me. You sure you want me to tame her now?â\nâYou mean to tell me that once youâvetamed Xiao Xue, she will only listen to you? She will just ignore me?â Thelittle book servants eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded. Shethen turned to look at the scholar beauty and in a challenging tone, âBigsister scholar, what are your thoughts?â
âI donât believe it!â shouted the littlebook servant loudly. âMistress, let have her try it! I donât believer Xiao Xuewonât listen to me again! I donât believe it!â
âMiss Junâer, whether you believe it ornot is a different story. What if I am able to tame she, and your Xiao Xue turnedinto my Xiao Xue. Are you going to fight me for her?â
âYou tame! You tame her now! Right now!I want to see how you tame her! Xiao Xue wonât listen to you! No way!â
Listening her childish words, Cheng XiaoXiao couldnât help but started laughing. The scholar beauty also shook and headand laughed helplessly, âJunâer, itâs not appropriate to talk like that. Andyou canât cry if you lose.â
âMistress, I havenât cried in a longtime. Donât embarrass me, okay?â
The little book servant lowered herhead, embarrassed. She then looked back up to Cheng Xiao Xiao and said, âMissCheng, you try. Letâs see if Xiao Xue will listen to you.â
âOkay, Miss Junâer, youâve been askingme repeatedly to tame the snow leopard. When she became mine, I am notreturning her even if you cry!â
Soon as she finished talking, sheapproached the snow leopard quickly and before she could back away, she shoutedat it coldly, âCollect!â
In the next moment, under the gaze ofthe scholar beauty and her servant girl, the snow leopard disappeared. Theydidnât even see how it disappeared. Dumbfounded, the little book servant asked,âWhereâs Xiao Xue? Where did she go?â\nThe scholar beauty furrowed herbeautifully arched brows and looked around subtly. She didnât see the snowleopard anywhere, as though it had really disappeared into thin air.
âYou didnât just hide Xiao Xue, didyou?â The little book servant thought of one possibility. She looked up anddown Cheng Xiao Xiao trying to see where she could have hid the snow leopard.
Cheng Xiao Xiao stood therenonchalantly, letting her look all she wants. She let her circled her a timesbefore she smiled and asked, âHave you find it yet?â
âThis, this is impossible! You donâteven have a mystical beast sachet, where did you put Xiao Xue?â The little book servant turned to look at hermistress, âMistress, where did Miss Cheng place Xiao Xue?â
âIf you donât know, I donât know either.You are right that little sister Xiao Xiao did not have a mystical beastsachet. Only she has the answer to your question!â
There were sparkles in the scholarbeautyâs eyes, âLittle sister Xiao Xiao, is it now time to make Xiao Xuereappear?â
