Cnetizens: Now I get why young ladies from wealthy families in the past always eloped with xiqu actors.

Taizhou Luantan台州乱弹, a genre of Xiqu(Chinese traditional theatre) in Taizhou, Zhejiang, in which the actor plays Lü Bu from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Saw @ssharkuu's fake collab at the same time I'd been itching to edit Xiaoqing again and it was a sign, I tell you.

Snake vs snake, ought to be interesting.

Besides Chenxiang, has Sun Wukong had other apprentices? I know this question had been answered in another blog on the subject or I don't know if it was here.

Officially Wukong only has had one other disciple being the unnamed First Prince of the Kingdom of the Nine Headed Lion Arc. Bajie trained the Second Prince and Wujing trained the Third Prince.

Chenxiang is considered his second cause he is another legend and this time tying Wukong and Erlang back together.

There have been lots of media where Wujing takes on disciples like Monkey King (2022) 悟·空 with Xiaosheng, Westward Journey Online II (2002) 大话西游2经典版 with a monkey mix of Wukong and the Six Ear's magic, LEGO Monkie Kid Series (2020) 乐高悟空小侠：英雄出世 with Qi Xiaotian, Post Journey to the West (CMS) (1988) 后西游记 with Sun Luzhen and so on and so forth.

I think that Sun Luzhen is also a popular one as he as in the Later Journey to the West (Hou Xiyouji, 後西遊記, 17th-century) novel, another old story but nowhere near as popular as Lotus Lantern has become in recent media. I think that is any other disciple would be considered 'official' then he would be considered the official third or second disciple personally.

Xiaosheng is fully happy being a 电灯泡 here, and no amount of glaring from a-Jiang is going to intimidate her.

This was cute. Zhuo Lanjiang is a cutie even though his subordinates go around shutting entire streets down and tying people up so that Shangguan Zhi can question them.
