Something not right here, if YBC strangled YXW in the dungeon, TTJ would have killed YBC just like what he have…
He doesn't know it was all about the poisoned porridge. If he knew, it would all be clear to him, too, but as far as we're in now, it's only YBC who confessed and YXW who heard the confession who know what it was all about. And since YXW is in the Cold Palace and YBC is not stupid to repeat the confession, nobody else will have a chance to find out, for now.
So the explanation that it was about XL's death is partly acceptable (partly because TTJ definitely knows how YBC could care less about XL when he was captured).
Then again - look at it this way. YBC is a survivor. She was very much in an untenable situation as TTJ was in the Ye family - no good background, no familial support, no one to care for her. I'm pretty sure he despises her for being so cold-hearted but at the same time he admires her for surviving in each and every circumstance, more like he had to, himself.
So he keeps her until he'll have some free time to investigate it all, but what with the constant pain and blood spitting and going to war, and also watching over YXW from the sidelines, pretending he doesn't care a bit, he might've just forgotten about YBC completely LOL.
Can someone explain to me the wuxia, xianxia terms bc I am so confused? Is The Untamed a wuxia drama or a xianxia…
There is no xianxia genre tag on MDL AFAIK. For most xianxia, the wuxia genre tag is used.
Wuxia - martial arts, no supernaturals (immortals, cultivators, gods, etc), physics is a rumour.
Xianxia - martial arts, all kinds of supernaturals (at least three realms - humans, immortals, gods but maybe also demons, then maybe some fierce corpses LOL, or spirits/haunts/ghosts, fairies of all kinds, plants and animals cultivating into human bodies, dragons, and so on, and so forth), then gallons of spitted blood LOL. Physics is more like a set of guidelines that everybody and their pet phoenix handily ignores.
And then there's xuanhuan, which is even worse than xianxia LOL because it's more of a mix and mash of Chinese fantasy (xianxia) and some Western elements (like in fairy tales).
The Untamed is xianxia (because spirits and fierce corpses). Joy of Life, for example, is wuxia (because martial arts and some politicking only). Nirvana in Fire, for example, is historical/costume drama, despite some wuxia elements. Duoluo Continent is xuanhuan, IMHO (fits xianxia but borrows some tropes from Japanese shonen - the ever growing progress of the hero, for example, Naruto or Bleach-style, and also there's lots of monsters that aren't originating in Chinese folklore.)
Ji Ze: I gave you a prophecy, and three things to remember, and study, DID YOU GET IT? YXW: Err... ummm... *didn't know there was going to be a TEST* Ji Ze: Oh forget it. Exchange the freaking bone dammit!!! YXW: *lightbulb moment* OH! That's what you meant!!! Ji Ze: Next life, I never EVER want to be a teacher.
Little Miss Fox: What about it soldier, you're really sleeping with your weapon, umm? LOL YQY: You would KNOW if I'm sleeping with a weapon or not :D
Because these old fogeys didn’t have any inkling that Bitchang was the real primordial evil that dogged the…
He has no choice on it. The Bone is there for the Devil God to reincarnate after TTJ dies, no matter how he dies. At least, that's how I understood it so far.
Obviously, the Devil God being the Devil God, he wants TTJ to go through all possible pain in his life before death and reincarnation.
At the 4:12 mins mark in episode 26, behind the palace, there is a scenery of a bird like stone and three pillars…
It's the Phoenix Gate. They (TTJ and NBY) mentioned it before, and it's the gate XL's men used to come to get YBC and attack TTJ in the process.
As for what it means... it's part of the set design - I saw a BTS the director and art director made and they were saying they tried to make every location distinct. The pictures of the swing set, for example, looked even better on paper, LOL. But I like the swing under the broken arch as it came out, too...
Also, everyone could give a chance to a Taiwanese ongoing drama called Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (the title is... oh well). It's hillariously awesome and scary at the same time.
Yeah, exactly my thoughts! This is a plot hole right here, that she answered him honestly about rescuing xiao…
He might've been asleep, after all. She couldn't know. She didn't know precisely what he had done to her - I bet she was thinking he'd spy on her through animals, and it was before dawn, no crows around yet.

But LYX and Sun ZhenNi (Pian Ran) re-dubbed their own voices. The rest of the cast was dubbed by professional voice actors.
I want a pair SO BAD. I'm into gem earrings, I want to make or buy a pair for myself. Those were such pretty earrings *yearning*
