It's so hilarious to me that he's feeling superior simply because ZYL told him in advance, LOL!
That seems very “human” (as in, personlike) to me. People are ridiculous. :D
And I know ZYL says he doesn't believe in that stuff, but that doesn't change the worldbuilding, alas, and the effects of SW's closeness on him are unfortunately real.
Yes, his whole “I don’t believe in that shit” attitude is just wilful denial at this point. *glares at worldbuilding*

That SW is about to leave, I think?
So the gui count as "the dead" right from their creation. Evil Worldbuilding™, seriously!
Right? Like, if you’re going to have creatures like that, don’t make them capable of sentience and feelings! ;-p
Ah, thank you for the translation notes.
*Until he himself became part of a pair! ♥ ♥ ♥ *
Ha! I hadn’t made that connection at all. Perfect!
Again, checking what that's in Chinese: 把人渣卡糊我脸上, "glue the scumbag card on my face". Fascinating!
Oh, I like that much more than fuckboy (mostly because I’m pretty vague on the concept of “fuckboy”. *fails at slang* *shrugs*
I love how vividly that attitude comes across in the drama, despite so many things about CSZ being so very different!
Yes, they got that across perfectly. :D
Thank you, Lao-Chu, you are 100% correct and someone needed to say it!
Riiiiight?
City of malicious spirits and ghosts
Ooh, it’s a city?
I have to assume it was changed in the version the official translation was working from (and I'm glad it was!), but the 鄙视 "looking down" (which in the original version is directly quoted from the above line) wasn't edited along with it.
Fascinating!
From other bits (including SW being referred to as a "youth"), and also fannish osmosis, my impression has always been that Kunlun is an adult and SW isn't, which makes parts of this pretty uncomfortable for me. But now I'm wondering if maybe they're both just dumb teens? Idk.
LOL, they certainly behave that way. SW seems about 14, and ZYL maybe 16? (ETA: Or 12 and 14, respectively?) And both of them could really use some good parent figures. ;-p
