The Elegant Flirt - Part Eight is the eighteenth chapter of Mo Dao Zu Shi.

Synopsis []

The morning after their return from Caiyi Town, Lan Wangji bursts into the boys' room to find most of them hungover, with pornography scattered about. He drags Wei Wuxian away to be beaten with a disciplinary plank, but Wei Wuxian mysteriously objects. However, when Lan Wangji submits himself to the beating as well, Wei Wuxian insists he did not mean for Lan Wangji to punish himself.

In the aftermath, Jiang Cheng carries Wei Wuxian, who explains that the night before, he again snuck into the Cloud Recesses past curfew with Emperor's Smile. Once again, he was caught by Lan Wangji. After pleading for Lan Wangji to let it go, Wei Wuxian intentionally caused them both to fall outside the Cloud Recesses, rendering them both rule-breakers.

As Wei Wuxian dramatically expresses his pain, Lan Xichen approaches with concern. He instructs Wei Wuxian to relieve his pain in their clan's Cold Spring, and that evening, Wei Wuxian encounters Lan Wangji already there. He again attempts to befriend him, but Lan Wangji continues to rebuff his offers.

Not long after, their classes lessen while the elders deal with the Waterborne Abyss. One day, Wei Wuxian finds a pair of rabbits and offers them to Lan Wangji. Although Lan Wangji initially refuses, once he hears that Wei Wuxian intends to roast them, he immediately adopts the rabbits.

One rabbit then climbs atop the other. When Wei Wuxian points out their position, Lan Wangji objects, as both rabbits are male.

During a teaching on the romantic founder of the Gusu Lan Clan, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng overhear Jin Zixuan express displeasure with his fiancee Jiang Yanli, who has moderate looks and low cultivation. When they confront him, Jin Zixuan insults her and the Yunmeng Jiang family, infuriating both Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian. A brawl breaks out between Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan.

Both are forced to kneel on the ground as punishment, and Lan Qiren summons both Jiang Fengmian and Jin Guangshan to the Cloud Recesses. Jiang Fengmian insists on dissolving the engagement, which was created by their mothers while they were children. He states that they cannot marry for their children, and they are clearly not willing to spend their lives together. Jin Guangshan eventually agrees.

Jiang Cheng speaks to the kneeling Wei Wuxian, who notes the bruises on the vain Jin Zixuan's face with cheer. He also describes how Lan Wangji approached him and attempted to comfort him, only to realize his shoulders shook from laughter while digging an ant nest, not tears.

When Jiang Fengmian departs, he takes Wei Wuxian home to Yunmeng.[1]

Author's Note[]

Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's end-of-chapter note reads:[2]

Alright, the “classmates” arc has been completed. This marks the end of his previous life for now. We’ll move back to the present in the next chapter.

I know that many people are waiting for this section to end. _):3)∠)_ That’s why I have said previously that you can plump up, or wait for the conclusion before deciding whether to read it. Also, I’ve said that I’ll try quirky ways of writing, and that includes, but is not limited to, unbelievably long chapters that I might regret afterwards.

You can choose to plump up or give up on the novel, but you can’t beat me up! Authors should be protected!
