You know I thought for kicks they would pair Medusa with the ice guy, but I do like her with Xiao Yan.
Although what happens to alternate personality of the little rainbow snake? Also can someone kind of explain the connection between the first two works and the third? The thing that is throwing me off is that the third work sounds like it takes the strongest characters of the other worlds and throws them into some god tier world, but so far what I have seen in the manhua including the main character, the people in that world don't strike me as particularly strong. |

The fact that your asking this question means you have not read it properly so I would advise reading it again i.e. the novel or manhua.

Receptarior's are the ones that gave essence flame rankings and there are 23 known essence flames they are: Spoiler:
Hmm I can't recall exactly in the novel but I am sure it was said before that to absorb one of the top 10 essence flames the minimum requirements was Dou Huang (7th ranked or above) although the top 3 ranked had a higher set of requirements. Its later on Xiao Yan learns the truth about the essence flames i.e the true origins about them. Even I was surprised by the truth about them. Quote:
It was always going to be Xiao Yan for Medusa from what I have read the author went into detail with the relationship between them. Out of all the heroines (this is includes Xun Er) Medusa is the one where the author goes more in depth with. Although if were talking who Xian Yan had best chemistry it would definitely go to the "Medical Fairy" Xiao Yi Xian. About the different works which leads Xiao Yan (BTTH) and Lin Dong (WDQK) coming to a whole new world with Mu Chen (DZZ). To summarize both Xian Yan and Lin Dong who were at the peak in their world are now in a different realm where they meet Mu Chen it is here that the two realize that reaching their peaks in their world doesn't mean the same in this alternate one where they both learn they can transcend to a higher level. While it is true that DZZ brings them altogether before that as you can in the manhua it focuses on the protagonist Mu Chen first as he raises amongst ranks before meeting the two legends. |

Also as mentioned, the relationship between Medusa and Xiao Yan is the most developed of all the female characters except for maybe The Medical Fairy. There's a very clear trajectory in their relationship that constantly changes over the course of 500 chapters. I thought the author did an excellent job of fleshing out the relationship. The little snake went over to someone else. Take a guess. Spoiler for Setting of the 3rd novel:

Don't get me wrong I like Medusa, she is probably my favorite, either her or the white haired Yun La Sect girl. Is just that typical of say maybe Japanese or Western works for a joke they would pair together a pairing that hate each ie the cat and mouse.
One other question, do the manhua, at least in the case of BTTH cover all of the original novel? If not I can switch to the novel version. |

It does a fairly good job of covering the important events that happened in the novel, but there are a number of minor differences, most obvious being how the manga tends to add or change small events for more comedy, although there are others... That said, the manga is nowhere near complete (I might call it a third of the way, being generous at that). This is if you're reading the raws though. The translated stuff... I'm not too sure which is further ahead... |

How does it work in the Chinese scene. Is the author of the novel the same as the author of the manga, or are they two separate people? |
