Chapter 41: Escaping Death at Huayue (2)
In this chapter, we found out a little bit about the original Shen Qingqiu’s life. What do you think about the original Proud Immortal Demon Way’s scum villain?
He is a very popular character in Scum Villain fanfiction.

Reika’s Notes:
- This chapter is by Cheryl aka Hiohbye.
- Thanks for reading and please leave a comment if you can. I love comments.
If it is not too much trouble could you please translate the name of the city HuaYue into English. It sounds very pretty. Thanks.
I believe it should be 花月, meaning “Flower Moon”
THE SYSTEM IS A SIMP
“Was he implying that he wouldn’t be happy until Shen Qingqiu was naked?”
° ͜ʖ ͡͡ yes shizun, you guessed it right!!! XD
Sneaky teenage LBH, purposely throwing off his moves to fall into SQQ arms 😂These two really need to communicate better lol!
Poor SQQ and SJ.
This is probably my favorite chapter so far. Your translations are also amazing! Thanks for all your hard work!
omg i thought he would have to face the fate of his original death, that horrific imagery.
ohhhh so this WAS a dream, i thought it was a fake town. and then i thought “how does this luo binghe know the original fated deaths of the mountain guy and senior brother yue, but i get it now
Thank you for the chapter
Plot intensifies!
Aaaaaarrghhhh……. I really regret not keeping my promise to myself……. why did I read until the latest update !!???? WHY !!?? It’s so hard to stop myself before, now I have to deal with my curiosity again !! Thanks for the translation !!! Not only SQQ will know the real past but also LBH now ….I’m so eager !!
Thankyou for the chappy
thanks love for translating such a wonderful work!!!^_^
Thanks a lot! Your work is hard, and it’s awesome. Wish you have enough time for everyday life, not only for new fantastic chapters))
Hahahahaha
“Don’t move! Or else!”
“B***h, I did it, now what.”
SQQ is so sassy!! LBH, your persuasion skill suck so baaaad. Well, shizun’s head is denser than vibranium tho..
I binge-read all of these chapters in the past 36 hours. Sooooo worth it. Your translations are a blessing!
LBH really did dump all his points in everything but persuasion… Or perhaps it’s Critical Thinking he’s a failure at?
Dude, no matter how angry or hurt you are, literally nothing about what you’re doing is going to actually gain favorable results. SQQ is too sensible to find your yandere bs charming!
And SQQ… please stop being so oblivious, I am BEGGING you. Someone that’s such an expert with this genre should recognize at least some of these scenes and what they mean!
I’m intrigued with Shen Jiu’s past now. It looks like not everything was as it seemed.
I can’t help rubbing my hands together gleefully at the thought of what THIS revelation will bring.
Maybe Shen should ask Airplane about his character’s past? And see whether what he saw and Airplane’s ideas match.
I finally caught up! >< Thank you so much for translating! <3
LBH is cute and all, but also annoying af. Honey if you like SQQ, maybe don't torture him (physically+mentally) and act like you're enjoying it. NO ONE in their right mind is going to be able to identify any trace of affection in that, no matter how jealous you act, or how many robes you give them to cover up with. DEFINITELY not someone who's already feeling guilty about hurting you. ESPECIALLY not someone who's read of your possible future exploits. Poor Shizun. T^T Oh well!
I'm so curious about Original SQQ's past now! Am I going to be feeling sorry for our villainous cannon-fodder in the near future? Dang.
I love this book!
Thank you for the translation!! Bing-mei ye gotta stop being so sneaky heheh
But seriously, these two idiots keep running around in circles :’) oh well, gotta wait for the plot to keep developing
And I’m looking forward to SQQ’s past!
Thank you for all your hard work! I’m looking forward to the next chapter as well! Do take your time hehe
Oooh, character development in the works,
XD
It’s agonizing to watch these two run around in circles…. Absolutely #facepalm inducing.
Thank you for the updates!
You guys are amazing translators!!! Thank you so much for doing these translations,
on the other hand please hear out a suggestion,
I know you guys waste a lot of your valuable time in these translations and their editing, and also have a lot of other projects but,
since there are two or three of you, can you please try to finish about 2 or 3 chaps every week?
I know this is a lot to ask but,
its already been a year… and only half is completed,
this whole affair makes me feel so helpless, the whole story is already out there and I can’t access it because I was born somewhere, where the language is different…
all I can do is beg all of you,
so please,
if its possible in any way that doesn’t cause inconvenience to you,
I beg you,
please help us finish the novel quicker…

How ungrateful! How selfish!
Nobody feels sorry for your a** because you can’t speak the language or can’t even bother to learn how to read it or write on your own!
Are you seriously trying to gain sympathy because you weren’t born in China? Don’t be so damn manipulative!
They are NOT going to make 2-3 chapters a week for your spoiled, skanky a**
Get over it!
Stop pretending to be sweet while throwing demands like a crownless queen. Its disgusting!
They have lives you know…
Not sure if troll or legitimate comment…
I knew it! It thought it was weird for Qiu Haitang’s family to accept and love Shen Qingqin so easily if he had as bad of a character as he was made out to have by her.
Thanks for the chapter 😘😘😘😘
Patiently waiting for another chapterchapter.
THANKYOU FOR TRANSLATING THIS CHAPTER♥♥♥
Thank youuu very much¡
I love each capther translated
Oh boi, the sheep turned black long before he was pushed in it seems! Pretending not to get it so he could be in his shizun’s embrace! Also, I’m curious about the original SQQ’s past now………………….I hope I’m just overthinking some things.
A 500 chapter side plot?! Heart Devil sword, you’re a bit too much…
The original novel must have been huge if a side plot was 500 chapters!! A multi-part series?! Can’t really blame Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky for having a few plot holes in that kind of a work…
Wasn’t the complete novel 6666 chapters long?
Every Single ****ing MXTX novel is a sucker punch. Ive read so much from classics, to New York times bestsellers to everything in between. Her books are still the only ones that made me feel so RAW after so long. I feel so wrecked. Whats life without her fantastic novels, the lives of her characters. These books have ruined me, ALL I THINK nowadays is RELATED TO THEM.
Whaiii
Thank you for your translation. I am curious about Sheng Jiu past. He may not as bad as Qiu Haitang said.
Thanks for the translation. 🙂
Thank you for translating!!! God i can’t stand their misunderstandings anymore!! (Ｔ＿Ｔ)
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THANK YOU FOR UPDATE!
Thank you for the update. Really Grateful for this.
Hope you alway have a good Day^^
Ahhh noooo this is pains me, too much misunderstanding. It pains me… When Will this over…. Nahh this pains is a must, the hardship i must take. Real fan must endure it
Thank you so much for your work on translation! These last chapters have been so good! I’m on the hedge of my seat wondering how this will all turn out.
“In order to correct Luo Binghe’s painful-to-look-at form, Shen Qingqiu painstakingly went to great lengths to give him daily personal training. However, for whatever reason, this smart and perceptive child performed extremely poorly. Luo Binghe, who should have been able to pick up on lessons easily without being instructed twice, in reality forgot what he was taught almost immediately. He would frequently use too much force, crashing into Shen Qingqiu’s arms for who knows how many times, until eventually Shen Qingqiu reached his breaking point.”
How did this small white sheep learn to be so sneaky already?
And thank you for the chapter!
Thank you for the update ! I’m really happy to be able to read the translation! *hugs and kisses* I wish they could have a proper chat and open their eyes.
Thanks for the chapter!
Many thanks for the latest chapter😘
Bing He is chasing after his Shizun like a mad man and our Shizun is always ready to run away all the time. Perfect~🤦 You two need to taaaaaalk it out gaaah!
Thank you for the chapter 😊
Ooooh poor shen jiu.. maybe he became a… Uuh.. anyway.. Bingmei has delicate feelings shizun so please understand.. keke tho I hope Gongyi Xiao is fine somewhere else T.T
Thanks for the chapter!!~
Aww poor SQQ 🙁 getting trapped like that with LBH eating his tofu hehehe… *Grins*
I see a backstory coming up hmm, I guess it’s gonna be the sad-villain-backstory type too 🙁 //glaringly obvious what am I saying OwO;
I guess that’s why the original SQQ had such a twisted thinking process? Hmm.
Thanks for the chapter~~
Cheryl-chi, thank you for the wonderful chapter.
Please. Please tell me what novel is this youtube link?
I saw this after watching that video you recommended. Please tell me!!! I beg you, goddess!!!
It’s Heavenly Blessing. I haven’t read it though I heard that it’s super, super tragic.
Thank you for the chapter. What a treat!
Oh God…was the villain raped as a child by the Qiu family? Or was it just normal child abuse?
That would explain a lot of things.
thankyou for the chapter!!! Poor SQQ needs a proper nap
Soooo, SJ and SQ are……..the same person? Is that right? 🤔
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Yes, they’re the same person. The peak lords all have their names changed after attaining their rank. That’s why they’re all called by their surname-Qing-xx
If Luo Binghe can create an illusion of Shen Qingqiu’s greatest fears, then does that mean he knows and aware Shen Qingqiu’s fears?
It would be great if the original Shen Jiu is actually not as wicked as the Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky explained in the novel. Besides giving Shen Qingqiu a way out of the trial, I would love to see Qui Haitang get face-slapped too hahah
On lighter note, to think Luo Binghe already took advantage of his Shizun since a young age is really cute XD
Thanks for the update!!
Oohhh my. Now I’m really curious to what really happened to the original owner of the body before escaping that family
It’s amazing how adept at misunderstanding each other Shizun and Bing-mei are. Worthy of being master and disciple lolololol. Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for sharing xox! This is so good – I’m hooked! I’m so curious as to the original villain’s backstory :-O
And poor Luo Binghe, he probably doesn’t know that he’s dying of lust/love because he’s technically still a virginal boy, pure even in his demon ways.
These two ninnies need to talk about things for real instead of assuming stuff all the time. Goodness gracious.
It’ll be interesting if Shen Qingqiu really is innocent of all charges and not as much of a villain as we were lead to believe.
Thank you for the chapter Cheryl Translator-san 💕💕💕
Anddd the miscommunication between the two bunnies continues. It’s really pitiful .
Heaven blessing day….finally my refresh button show new chapter number lol
Clueless Shizun and his Spectacular shy beast disciple….( I’m always love this kind of pair of characters in Yaoi story)………ah so cute…..
SQQ is so thickheaded, he was an adult in his original life who read novels with romance subplots all the time and yet he doesn’t understand the jealousy of seeing the love interest wear another man’s robe. fool!
This is such a serious and heart racing chapter but my dumb brain is laughing bc ever since LBH had his sexual awakening as a kid seeing SQQ tied up with his robes torn it seems to have … developed into a pattern slash kink for him hahaha;;;
On a more serious note! It really pains me to see Bing-mei like this! As he said, SQQ rejecting his robe (for, in his eyes, being dirty bc hes a demon) and instead wearing another man’s is humiliating… this is the person he loves after all. To me I’ve always seen Luo BingHe after the 3 years as ..split in two,..
After shattering, his heart is split between loving SQQ/and consuming him. Like… he is so messed up from those terrible 3 years and the psychological and emotional damage he was dealt by SQQ pushing him into the abyss. And when you add the Heart Demon sword … yikes. And ofc no harem to take the backlash he has to take it himself (SPOILERS! by essentially destroying parts of himself).
So to me reading this while I find a lot of humor in SQQ being all tsukkomi …I’m crying inside at what Bing-mei must be feeling. He knows as a fact that SQQ hates demons and he himself is a demon … so, even if it makes SQQ hate him (EVEN MORE HAHA RIP), he wants to consume him pretty much…since right now his love (though genuine) is just not healthy . He is a demon and someone dirty in SQQs eyes, and my personal opinion is that he let SQQs reputation grow bad to essentially pull him down to that low dirty level, where he can finally have him …gah.
Thanks very much for another great chapter!
Well seems like SQ understood a bit more about OriSQ childhood. It sure does suck since OSQ turned out the way he did due to his “loving” family. I kinda wish it was talked a bit more in depth but oh well. Thanks for the chapters! Lol rip SQ clothes.
Wow! Such a great chapter! Thank you so much for the translation! *deep bow*
But now I am terrified of what LBG did to Gongyi Xiao 😥 and I am also half-afraid, half-intrigued to find out what really happened in SQQ’s childhood 🙀
Thank you, again, for all your efforts!
Poor Gongyi Xiao…
I really dislike the misunderstandings. It destroys relationships 🙁
And characters in cultivation novel and fantasy novel usually have tragic backgrounds besides the Protag.
Thank you for the chapter! I’m drowning in the ocean of Readers’ tears.
Thank you so much to translate very fast I’m so happy ! I was Mtl it but I stopped because I prefer to understand the plot perfectly . 😀
Thank you for the excellent translation, Cheryl! This was such a good read, I’m still on the edge of my seat.
Oh, it’s seems that our ShenQQ has full lot of people to “save”. And they have to manage to to solve this misunderstanding thing…even if Luo Binghe is pratically oozing so much jealousy tha anyone should understand at least this…
Thanks for the translation
Every time you guys managed to deliver new chapter i got mixed feeling :”)) i am super happy with each release, but after i finished reading, i can’t help to wish for another new chapter to come ;;___;;
Anyway, thanks for your hard work! I am really grateful,
This was an awesome chapter, I can’t wait until I can find out what happens next. (๑>◡<๑)
They really should speak out loud instead of inside their mind. I always found characters annoying by suddenly monologuing out of nowhere as it’s quite unrealistic but it would really be useful here…
I monologue all the time, so I’m not entirely sure what part you are talking about.
Thank you for the translation!! This was such a nice chapter.
Thanks for the translation!!!
Ahhh, the misunderstandings and knives keep coming. This is a good chapter of angst and hilarity. System keeps giving them BL points for ripping his clothes off lol. And I’m totally sure young LBH was messing up his forms on purpose so he could fall onto Shizun.
So the Heart Devil Sword requires an entire harem of women to take that pent-up energy… which is now all gonna be relocated to Shizun. Rip Shizun’s chrysanthemum.
I like the way you think, comrade
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) yes.
If the original Shen Jiu got raped when he was younger.. I gonna riot
I help you, I bring the torches… let them burn.
Though, now that I think about it… won’t Binhe kill them before we even reach them?
We shall strike out while he’s tending to SQQ. 😈
Thank you so much😊 I love these characters so much. Shizun is funny and Luo Binghe is still a cinnamon roll even though he tries to look cool 😄
These two are so frustrating! But what I want to know is how LBH found out so much about SQQs past (to replicare in the dream).
From my understanding, he doesn’t need to know anything himself for the dreamscape to replicate someone’s fears, remember in earlier chapters when the dream demon sent SQQ to a dream within a dream so he could talk to LBH alone, it was mentioned that the dream demon didn’t know what was happening inside it or what SQQ fears were.
Thanks for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter ♥️
These two really are a whole mess. Can they like,.,communicate lmao. Highkey wanted Shen Qingqiu to react a little bit more after seeing Liu Qingge like that in the dream world, they’re a wholesome duo 😔🤟🏼. Anyways, loved the chap!!
I love it!! I wanna more!!!
It´s a incredible work, thank you for your time♥
Waiting for more chapters!
Thank for new chapter!
Please at least start the process of clearing up these misunderstandings. My heart is breaking.
Thanks for the chapter.
I love this chapter so much–thanks for translating!
Tnx for translating. But I forgot, who are Shen Jiu and Qui Haitang?
Shen Jui – the original Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jui was his name before he entered the sect)
Qui Haitang – the girl who accused Shen Jui of killing her entire family who had adopted Shen Jui when he was a child
@Reika Thank you.
I hope second ML is okay… 😥
me too!! T.T
Thank you and Cheryl for new chapter!
LBH still has time to strip and feel up SQQ while fending off the Heart Devil sword. Boy has his priorities in order.
Thank you so much for the translation!
Aaaaaaah~ I want to know how they’ll get together from this huhuhu like I don’t see how this amount of misunderstandings can be cleared up QAQ i’m also very excited to know about Shen Jiu’s past. I saw a fanfic about it and I’m dying to know how much of it is canon!!!
Aaaah I’m so excited for the next chapters! Thank you for your translations and I’m seriously looking forward to it all~
<3 <3 <3
One isn’t aware of his feelings for the other and the other one can’t be honest! How frustrating!!!!
Little Binghe you sneaky rascal…not so pure like everyone thought, hehe 😉
Thanks Cheryl!!
Ah these two…they just aren’t seeing eye to eye at all. Lost in their own misunderstandings. What a freaky dreamscape. I wonder if LBH was aware of all the things SQQ just saw??
Oh, and thanks for the translation Cheryl!!
I had a lot of fun translating this chapter! I skipped college app time for this haha TT
