Breaking news.... Madam Deathblade's water broke unexpectedly in the middle of the night. We're in the hospital now. Everything is okay, but it seems as if Baby Deathblade is too eager to leave his secluded meditation, and might be coming a week or two early. Over the coming few days, the releases may be delayed or at odd hours. What strange timing, especially considering the next few chapters are among my favorites so far. Anyway, for now, enjoy chapter 259 and keep your eyes peeled for the next release.

Chapter 249: Reconciled Translator: Deathblade - Contributing Editors: Madam Deathblade, John Rogers - Proofreaders: Lingson, MeeBoo and Yascob Sponsors: Colin Ding and Anonymous

Many thanks to the two Fellow Daoists for bringing the seventh and final sponsored chapter of the week!
