Seeing Bian Yanmei packing his luggage, Yu Shengyan asked out of curiosity, “It’s almost the New Year. Where is shixiong [1] going?”
Bian Yanmei replied, “We will accompany Shizun [2] to Mount Xuandu for the reunion dinner this year. [3] If you don’t come along, who’s going to feed you? Every kitchen staff has already returned to their respective hometowns.”
Yu Shengyan muttered, “These past few years, Shizun has always had the reunion dinner at Mount Xuandu. He’s practically married into their family!” [4]
“Into what?” Yan Wushi’s voice rang out beside him.
Yu Shengyan blurted out, “I wish Shizun and Shen-zhangjiao [5] peace and prosperity, for you to achieve your dreams, for your martial arts to advance by a thousand years [6], and for you to dominate the martial world for ten-thousand generations!”
Bian Yanmei silently sighed as he thought, ” Serves you right for having a cheap mouth. [7]
Extra 2
Mount Xuandu has a tradition where they would seal a new jar of wine on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This wine would be aged in oak barrels, and in the following year, they would unseal the richest, most fragrant brews for their disciples to drink.
Shiwu [1] couldn’t resist the fragrant aroma of the wine and drank a little too much. Even before the sun had set, he had already drunk himself into a stupor and had to be assisted back to his room. He then slept all the way until the next morning.
He awoke feeling very put upon. [2] The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he couldn’t resist hiding his face again within his blankets. He hid within his nest of blankets for another half a day, then suddenly tore away the quilts with an exclamation of surprise.
Hidden beneath the blankets was a big red envelope. [3] Shiwu opened it, and within it was a handwritten talisman by Shen Qiao and a note.
The note said: I wish for Shiwu to always live safe and sound and grow up in good health.
It was not a wish for great achievements in martial arts nor for him to be outstandingly intelligent and make a name for himself. Shen Qiao only had simple aspirations for his disciples – to live in peace and to be healthy.
It was a short and simple note, but Shiwu read it repeatedly. After the fourth time, he gleefully accepted the red packet, placing it within the placket of his clothes. Even the slightest bit of drowsiness had already been chased away.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Wushi insisted on preparing the soup himself.
Shen Qiao said helplessly, “Please don’t make any more of that ‘Unified Territory [1] soup’.”
Adding sweet sesame dumplings [2] into lamb broth – who could stomach something like that?
However, Yan Wushi, always full of strange and new ideas, insisted on cooking it personally and forced Shen Qiao to eat it.
Shen Qiao just hoped that this meal would be of a more normal fare.
However, he soon realized that this was merely wishful thinking.
Shen Qiao eyed the bowl of black sticky substance, unable to imagine what might be inside.
“This time… Is it the ‘Great Harmony of the World’ Soup?”
“Ah-Qiao, your skill for naming things is quite terrible. This is the ‘Three Flowers, Five Qi [3] Soup’. It will improve the drinker’s physical fitness and is beneficial to their internal strength.”
Shen Qiao frowned. “Which three flowers? Lingzhi? Ginseng? Tiger Ginseng? [4]”
“Wolfsbane, ragweed, arsenic. [5] However, no need to worry. I have already neutralized the toxicity of these three substances.”
Shen Qiao asked, “…And those Five Qi?”
“Centipede, venomous snake, scorpion, lizard, and toad.”
Shen Qiao was silent for a moment. “I suddenly remembered some urgent matters that I must attend to. I’ll take my leave first.”
How could Yan Wushi tolerate Shen Qiao leaving as he pleased? His movements were so quick that Yan Wushi had already hit his acupoint before Shen Qiao finished speaking. [6]
“How can Ah-Qiao not give me any face? [7] Are you afraid that I will poison you?”
Shen Qiao thought, “It’s not that I am afraid of being poisoned. I am more afraid that drinking this concoction will result in excessive heat causing a nosebleed, [8] and I won’t be able to get out of bed for three days.”

Cui Buqu’s health was poor. His old ailments relapsed on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and thus he had to spend the day recuperating in bed.
He took a whiff of the medicinal aroma that permeated the entire house as he frowned at the dark medicine in front of him.
“Where is my candy?” Cui Buqu stretched his hand out.
“It’s in my mouth. Once you finish your medicine, I’ll feed it to you.”
After looking through the room, Feng Xiao had hidden all the candies away, the only ‘survivor’ being the one in his mouth.
Cui Buqu maintained a stoic look, drank his medicine, and then hurled the bowl and its remnants at Feng Xiao’s face.
Extra 5
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Xiao brought Cui Buqu up Mount Xuandu to pay their respects.
En route, Feng Xiao stopped for the fifth time. He used his reflection on the lake’s surface to fix his hairstyle and appearance.
Cui Buqu complained impatiently, “Are we going or not? Why don’t you just hang a mirror on your body so that you can admire yourself all the time?”
Feng Xiao didn’t take his words to heart as he replied, “Only the lakes of heaven and earth can reflect my valiant energy and heroic temperament.”
Cui Buqu mocked, “You mean there’s actually someone in this world capable of surpassing your elegance and graceful demeanour?”
Feng Xiao replied, “We cannot give Yan Wushi even the slightest opportunity.”
His martial arts may not be as good as the other party’s, but at least he could console himself with his youth. However, if his outward appearance were also inferior, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

Thank you for your translations, it’s very easy to understand and read
I’m glad, that is definitely one of our main goals in doing the TL in this manner 🙂 Enjoy!

Hi thanks for the translation. Do you still have the link to the original MXS’s Weibo extras?
Its not on her weibo anymore unfortunately.
Both Shen Qiao and Cui Buqu are suffering 😭😂
Thank you for the translation, stay safe and healthy~ ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Your definition of “cheap mouth” is excellent. Some things just don’t translate and I had a general idea but thanks to you I’ll remember this one.
Beautiful translations! And such a treat for the fans of both novels ^_^. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I loved the Peerless duo so I was looking forward to seeing more of them!
I saw a mtl of this but it wasn’t that understandable, so thanks you x2
Is this plus the crossovers that were included in the Thousand Autumns main novel all there is or is there more?
Most welcome! There’s one more simplified extra that came with the novel that we are proofing, will release it soon!!! Other than that there’s the upcoming updated simplified novel which MXS said she’s going to release with a brand new extra, but that will probably take a while!
