    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan knew eventually he’d get a chance for some real deep sea exploration, but he hadn’t accounted for how strange life would be once he stepped on board. It would have been nice to know ahead of time about the flickering lights, disorientation, and strange radio calls in the middle of the night shift, but for some reason that hadn’t been included in the orientation.
    Desperate for a connection back on shore, Shen Yuan responds to one of these calls and strikes up a friendship with a new intern, Luo Binghe, who seems increasingly interested in Shen Yuan himself, rather than his research.

    Summary

    Satomi doesn’t know how long he stands there, gawking, before the woman’s eyes catch his and she says, “Hey, Kyouji, that kid is staring at you. You know him? Looks awfully straight-laced for you.”

    Kyouji looks his way, raises his eyebrows, a familiar expression. “Oh, him? He’s just a stray cat I feed sometimes.”

    These things are true: Mammals require air. Polar bears have black skin. Platypuses lay eggs; so do echidnas. Some snakes can asexually reproduce. Oka Satomi wants Narita Kyouji like a cat wants a nice patch of sunlight.

    Summary

    When Shen Yuan wakes up, disoriented and immobilized in a strange bed, he thinks his poor choice in meals has landed him in the hospital. Again. The food poisoning must have triggered some sort of relapse, too, since the doctors have gone all out and put him on the really good meds—he can barely see, and he can't move his limbs at all.

    In a strange stroke of luck, though, his doctors seem familiar with PIDW. But why are they asking about Shen Qingqiu?

    (In which Shen Yuan transmigrates into end-game Shen Qingqiu without realizing it, and Luo Binghe takes the opportunity to show his new, apparently-amnesiac "disciple" what it's like to have a cruel and powerful Shizun. It doesn't go quite like he expects.)

    Summary

    The Veiled Soul-Seer was known for being able to grant a person's deepest desire. Luo Binghe went to her with the expectation that she'd deliver the kind, sweet Shizun he'd seen in the other world (the one married to that weak, unworthy version of himself). That was, after all, what Luo Binghe wanted most.

    So why did he wake up to find himself back in his fourteen-year old body, in the woodshed, as a disciple on Qing Jing Peak?

    Now his empire is gone, as is his harem, cultivation, and physical strength. He'll have to rebuild it all from scratch, and while knowing the future should speed things up significantly, acting like an innocent human child after hundreds of years of being an all-powerful demon emperor might be more difficult than he'd anticipated…
