(maybe since they are tracing it by the evil energy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balthier Posted August 11, 2009 at 06:44 PM Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 at 06:44 PM about the 生 and 活 thing its pretty common in chinese, like 妻子 mostly means just wife, but sometimes it means 妻 and 子 "wife and son", so i think its better to treat that two characters as two words here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
