This book has such an amazing start. Gamblers Den arc leading into

Hua Cheng and his perfect butterflies whisking away our darling of the Heavens.

After that we Jump immediately into the

Fangxin reveal

as well as spending a great deal of time abusing Qi Rong. 

Lang Qianqiu reminds me a lot of Jin Ling (mdzs).

4.0

Since the characters are for the majority hundreds of years old you can imagine that there is a lot of backstory.  It seems that we got a nice chunk of a flashback of it in this volume.

In the previous volume this was handled more as telling history or sharing gossip which was amusing because of the lens it was told from.  For the flashback it was more of a lived experience so not much humor.

I'm still enjoying the story and since it is predominantly character based with some "baddie-of-the-week" elements the previous experiences of a nigh immortal character are integral.

Xiè Lián continues to be a wonderful main character, kind and thoughtful no matter what's happening around him. His unlucky nature leads to quite a bit of hilarity even in the midst of the very serious situations he finds himself in. 

Huā Chéng is funny and entertaining in his own way as he casually meddles once again in the affairs of the heavenly realm.
