beware of chicken a xianxia cultivation novel

Bi De (the rooster) looks up to Jin and the farm is his entire world that he guards every night. Jin just wants some peace and quiet, but keeps shouldering responsibility. The Lord Magistrate just wants to be left alone without damn cultivators making his life a hassle. They each view the world in entirely different ways and through completely separate lenses. I can’t say more without major spoilers, but the radically different perspectives between Jin, the Lord Magistrate, the chicken, and various other characters (such as a sentient bee queen) is a highlight of the series.

He immediately nopes out of the sect, goes to the quietest and most Qi-starved place he can find, to start a peaceful life as a farmer.Īlong the way, he meets various people, including a love interest (which is also wholesame as hell and very well done), starts his farm, gets some farm animals, and the-in the fashion of typical xianxia-the chicken gains sentience as it spiritually awakens and becomes the protector of the farm. A cultivator at the Cloudy Sword Sect dies during a beating from a Young Master, and our MC is reincarnated in the boys body. The premise is fairly simple, and not explored in any great depth apart from an acknowledgement of tropes and slight breaking of the fourth wall. The tidal wave of support for the work pushed me over the edge, so I picked it up… and it turns out that was a great decision. I saw this series recommended a few times on various groups and subreddits, but I always put it off because the name of the series didn’t exactly give me details about what it was about. As of writing this review, I have read all 212 published chapters on Royal Road.

A slow, simple, fulfilling life in a place where nothing exciting or out of the ordinary ever happens. Instead of a lifetime of battle, my biggest concerns are building a house, the size of my harvest, and the way the girl from the nearby village glares at me when I tease her. but Qi makes everything kind of wonky, so it’s probably fine.

I’m not used to seeing a chicken move with such grace. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men-though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. farming? Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about.
