Chapter 49 – True Disposition

I think it was at this point that I realized that this project was about to blow up. So many people were reading and commenting on each chapter, and the numbers were increasing every week. Once again, I’d like to thank the others who worked on this project with me. We wouldn’t have been able to publish so many chapters in such a short period of time if we hadn’t had such a bunch of talented and hard-working people helping each other with the translation.

Thank you, too, to all the readers who inspired us to continue working on this project!

  1. Is anyone still reading this? Because I sure am for the 400000000000th time and this is still my fav chapter

    1. Not only that ,even I’m looking at all the words individually with magnifying glass ……(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

    2. I’m just reading it for the first time and very much pleased reading this chapter ♡>♡

  2. the craziest fujoshi you will ever find

    OMG AHHHHHH but I want Luo Binghe to be aware that his his REAL SHIZUN!!!

    1. I think he did! From this part:

      He didn’t expect that after he spoke up, Luo Binghe instead froze. He instantly stood up straight and left the bamboo, a trace of disbelief showing on his face.

    1. I feel quite honored that my dear demisexual’s community is known a lil hehehe >< indeed….he could very much be demi (cause i don't think he likes other men…he's been mad about his shifu for a decade and no other person got his curiosity)

    2. camaraderie_retrograde

      yeah, the closest term to describe how Binghe feels towards Shizun would be demisexuality~~ XD

    3. wow ! finally someone who knows what demisexuality is! Haha , I feel so good. I’m demisexual myself and I totally get Lou binghe’s dilemma.

  3. Lol maybe if they do the pa pa pa, he’ll get a hundred grand hahahahaha. The time has finally come for this dense brother to understand that the stallion novel has become a danmei novel!

  4. “Then after rebelling, the devil king in human form Luo Binghe only wore black clothes, almost completely reversed from before.”
    I bet he feels gloomy because the person he likes hates him, so he wears black to match his mood. Maybe he also feels like he’s still not worthy of being called Shizun’s disciple.

  5. [Liu Mingyan: Reversed the female character’s inexplicable pursuit. B points +150]
    Bc she is a fujoshi (fangirl) now XD

    1. 😱😱😱😳😳😳😳😳😳😳…..aaaaaahhhhhhhhh🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  6. OH MY GOD YES! This is perfect! Luo Binghe acts like he’s been wanting to because he think this is a dream construct and now Shen Qingqiu knows for certain. That patrol captain Lu Liu wasn’t completely wrong – it was probably a good thing Shen Qingqiu had that to prep his reactions.
    As always, thanks to translating! I’m swept up in the story, I’m so happy I can read it!

    1. for a moment i thought that Lu Liu was actually a system that had changed the course of the story from the stallion novel to danmei novel

  7. F***ING FINALLY HE REALIZED IT

    He really needed Luo Binghe to basically spell it out for him, didn’t he??

  8. The boss’s attitude suggests that he does not want to engage in office romance × ———— looooooooool

    Lovesick brain seems to have been cured × ————— loooooool

    Three Taoist nuns: Cameos as short-lived as the night-blooming cactus, hello goodbye ××× ———— LOOOOOOOOOL

    ahahahahahahaah “[Ming Fan: Reversed the supporting character’s illogical mental retardation. B points +50]” ——— nice! he managed to save the bully ming fan, who ended up being a faithful disciple and good fellow brother to his cultivators

    a system reminder accompanied by its own celebratory BGM: [Coolness Points +500! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! ] —————— KAAAAAAAA THEY KISSED!!!!!!!!! THEY!!!!!!!!!! KISSSSSSEEEEDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DONGHUA AND MANHUA AND C-DRAMA B E T T E R HAVE THIS SCENE IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IT EVEN HAS IT’S OWN celebratory BGM HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

    i find it interesting that in all LBH’s previous dreamscapes, his shizun never responded bc his soul was actually hibernating. now that SQQ’s soul is alive and awake now, he responds back

    1. Anna Meléndez

      Dude, did you just realize? You are as dense as SQQ if you didn’t see it coming from miles and miles away.

    2. Lol don’t u even know this novel is a bl ? MXTX writes novel and we all love her works .So,if u don’t like bl,don’t come and read.

    3. Are you for real? The hints are all-over chapters..
      I feel i had this necessity to comment. But yeah, just go.
      💚

    4. Hahaha oh god this made me laugh is the sheer shock value! Well bye homophobe!

  10. Dis he recognize SQQ already? Another ML’s biting fetish. Now I can see some parallelism with the author’s other works. Aww, kiss in a dreamscape, loving every single thing. Thanks a bunch for this chapter!

    1. therandomsilverette

      Nah, LBH just thinks that it’s his dream and that SQQ was only his imagination(since they look quite similar rn).

    2. It mentioned that in the dreamscape Shen Qingqiu assumed his original appearance 🙂

  11. GOT7-IGOT7-Jacky

    Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!! Finally SQQ realised HE had been the love interest all along~ XD omg that kiss was hawt af! *fans self* get it, LBH *q*

  12. Wait is there gonna be a part 2? Cause there’s more to this chapter on the raw… Ugh that’s the best bit too!!

    1. According to our raw provider, there is nothing more there. We are using the latest edited official version.

      The last line of the raw is now 因为他用自己补足了爽度啊啊啊!!!

      The last part of the old version is now in chapter 50 but it is different, too.

  13. This..

    THIS IS BEST CHAPTER SO BEAUTIFUL DAMMIT I’M SOBBING

    I’m crying for Luo Binghe’s feelings only tho :’))
    Because Shen Qingqui was just realised it there HAHAHAHA HE GOT YOU CUCUMBER SAMA
    And the system is clearly LBHxSQQ shipper lol important things should be said three times
    Thank you for such a wonderful chapter, i migh’ve to read it again before reading the next update
    God bless you

    Btw does anyone know the first blogger who started this project? How’s her now, is she alright?

  14. I want SQQ to push LBH away with a ‘wtf’ look on his face with matching confused eyes.

    LBH will suddenly realize that his ‘Shizun’ is acting differently.

    LBH will notice something then he will discover that the man in front of him is his long coveted waifu.

    Bwahahaha imagination going 100% wild.

    Thank you for youe efforts! ♡✨

    1. since the dreamscape SQQ is based off the real life SQQ, LBH would still think this is all a dream bc the reaction would be realistic

  15. FINALLY GODDAMMIT THE SILLY SQQ GETS IT!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR MONTHS AH! THERE’S NO TURNING BACK AH! CHU CHU SMOOCH SMOOCH NO RETURNS!!!

  16. Binghe, kiss your Shizun nicely, what’s with the biting?? o_O

    Great chapter, thanks for the translation!

  17. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! FIREWORKS AND RED ENVELOPES FOR EVERYONE!!!

    Especially our dear Shizun~ I hope things will get better for him after this…

  18. Whoaaaaaaa!!! I threw my phone away and try to log what was going on. KISS! IT WAS KISS! OMG!! took me a few minutes before I could continue hahahahaha

  19. I ady read the whole novels like 6 times over especially after this scenes but still OH MY GOD TAKE UR MAN BACK BINGHE AH~

    I’m ready for next chapter *grins pervertly* time to bring the waifu back home(?)

  20. Sigh. . Hope their misunderstandings concludes soon. This is so frustrating… And Happy New Year! 🙂

  21. Happy New year!
    Kyaaaaaa!! >w<
    They finally kissed each other! I'm very happy!!!
    Thanks for the chapter

  22. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!!!! OH MY GOODNESS YES – *passes out* YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness, I’m so happy right now I think my little heart is going to burst out of my chest!!!!!

    FINALLY!!!! AND SQQ REALISED SO QUICKLY TOO!!!! (especially after the comment I left on one of the previous chapters… *bows to SQQ* I underestimated you, master!!)
    YES!!!!!

    I wonder, did LBH realise that he was the real Shizun, or does he still think that he’s in his imagination, and did that because it was a “dream”?
    Even if he didn’t, SQQ now knows, so hopefully he may also start to develop some feelings for his disciple!! And oh boy, LBH’s reaction would be amazing if he knew the guy with the creepy beard and the name of “Peerless Cucumber” was actually the elegant, mature and refined lotus he’s looked up to all these years…. Ahahaha, his whole worldview would shift xD

    Thank you for the chapter!! It will certainly keep me going all week…
    Happy New Year 🙂

    1. i reckon LBH thinks this is all a dream. since in his previous dreamscapes for all of 5 yrs, his beloved shizun would walk away from him. this time, he’s so desperate the SQQ will run away again that he steals this chance to do what he’s been wanting to do for so many years

  23. My Fujoshi’s hearts keeps screaming “kyaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!”

    Finally Shizun’s tofu is well eaten this 2019!!! 😂 😂 😂

    I hope there will be more meaty scenes coming ,😊

  24. Thank you so much and happy new year. A kiss at last 🤗 but when I translated the next chapter I saw there’s a part missing in this chapter’s end. Is it because version differences?

    1. We are using the official version. I mean the one on JJWXC that is locked unless you can pay for access. Most fans are reading the unofficial versions.

  25. KYAAAA! BINGMEI FINALLY DID IT YAAAASSSS AND SHIZUN FINALLY GETS IT THROUGH THAT THICK HEAD OF HIS KYAAA

    Thank you guys so much for the update!!!!! This… this really feels like a new year blessing TAT thank thank. Looking forward to the next chapteeeerrrrr!!

    Happy New Year guys!! :DD

  26. “Oh no, could it be that he has committed a sin by raising a perfectly good Stallion novel protagonist… into an asexual?!” hahaha

    Omg has LBH been dreaming of his Shizun all these years? I feel sorry for LBH that he can’t even talk to his Shizun in his dreams.

    YAY they finally kiss! (Well, SQQ gets bitten, but close enough!) And SQQ finally realizes LBH’s feelings! Finally!

    Thank you for translating this chapter, I really enjoyed it! Happy New Years!

  27. SHIZUN it’s been 84 years but you finally realized. (⊙o⊙) Man oh man, can’t wait for the fallout of this big break!!! Thanks for the chapter and happy new year!!!

  28. Hahaha! The MC has finally started to realize Luo Binghe’s feelings! It sure took him long enough! XDDD

    Perfect timing for a New Year’s Kiss!

  29. “Dignified Stallion novel male protagonist, are you still okay in that department?”

    Hahaha. He is more than fine… But he wants to use his abilities with you, SQQ!

    But bite him, LBH? It’s the first time you can Kiss him and you bite him?! Don’t be a savage or Shizun Will run away from you.

    Thanks for the chapter!!

    Have a nice Day and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    1. remember in the QnA extra shizun said something like he cant kissing, he only knows how to bite XDDD

  30. Yass. ♥️😭 the blockhead has finally clued in. Can’t blame him for not realizing though. He is the Harem, all hail.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️♥️

    1. Such a good chapter though. LBH was so melancholy. It’s been 5 yrs & finally his shizun responded back & what does he do? He doesn’t waste a second. My next thought it SQQ going to “sell it”/play the role of “dream shizun” & respond in kind? 😉

  31. Haha, the way SQQ became aware in the end is beautiful 😂 I like how the System is like mocking him 😂

    Thanks for the chapter and happy new year at everyone 😊

  32. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT’S GOLDEN!
    FINALLY, SHIZUN REALIZES WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON WITH HIS DISCIPLE XD THANKS FOR THE CHAPTER! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO Y’ALL

    1. No bonus chapter for ungrateful readers like you! You ought to be disgusted with yourself.

  33. Hueeheehe I just know that LBH knows that his Shizun is his real Shizun the moment he spoke XDXDXD AAAAAAHHHH AAAAAHHHHHHHHH AAAAAHHHHHHHHH SCREAMS my heart cantc take this AAAAAAHHHH hehe X3 thank you for the chapter and happy New year~~ hehe

  34. Feliz año y muchas gracias por este hermoso capitulo. Shusu por se te cayeron las vendas de los ojos kya kya kya

  35. *trips and falls into Shizun* oh no, I’m soooo clumsy *stumbles and rubs against Shizun’s side* my feet are out of control!! *collapses around Shizun in a back hug* my posture is so bad ahhh
    ^ LBH’s naughty plot to hug Shizun all the time

  36. Ahahaha plot twist for 2018 ahahaha finally, dawn reached our dense protagonist ahahahaha

    Thanks for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  37. I was feeling a bit down but this chapter has really made my day!! FINALLY A KISS.

    Thank you so much for your hard work and your translations and happy new year!! 💖

  38. Shegduahgebrhwadhb…..

    Shizun finally got bitten! Ups… It’s a kiss!! And he finally understand!

    I thought he would only realized it in the next chapter since earlier part he’s still confused and thought that LBH’s masochistic tendency is the reason their master-disciple affection was being placed a bit higher than it’s supposed to be.

    So yeah, SQQ, you don’t make your favorite character become asexual, he’s just totally bent for you.

    Will LBH realized that the one he kissed is the original Shizun? What will happens? Angry? Rampage? Or just continue kissing SQQ? (I prefer the last actually).

    1. Aaargh… Forgot to tell you, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hoping you all will have a better year than 2018. 🎉🎉🎉

      Thank you so much for this translation.

  39. OMG WE GOT A KISS SCENE AFTER 49 CHAPTERS 😭😭 BUT BUT BUT LUO BINGHE THINK THAT “SHIZUN” ISN’T THE REAL ONE, RIGHT???

    DEAR TRANSLATOR, THANK U SO MUCH FOR UR HARD WORK! NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 1 WEEK AGAIN 😭😭

  40. FINALLY YOUVE KNOWN THAT YOUR DISCIPLE IS HELLA GAY ! XD

    Is it just me tho or that “kiss” scene is so comedic like did he gobble his shizun’s lips into his mouth like a kid who doesnt know how to kiss?? PFFTTT

  41. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! !!
    FINALLLYYYYY!!!!
    FUCKING FINALLY!!!!
    BEFORE 2018 ENDED, SENIOR BROTHER LUO WAS ABLE TO TAKE SHIZUN’S LIPS!!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

    WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
    THANK YOU FOR THE CHAPTER!!
    HAPPY NEW YEAR! !

  42. Happy 2019!

    This is one of my favorite chapters…SQQ seeing LBH’s harem being empty and the depth of LBH’s love for him and finally realizing he’s in a BL aaaa

  43. It’s not asexual, just Shizun-sexual lol

    How cute that he doesn’t realise he’s replaced the entire harem. Well, he’ll understand soon enough hehehe

  44. “Oh no, could it be that he has committed a sin by raising a perfectly good Stallion novel protagonist… into an asexual?!”

    This is killing me! 8D

  45. !!!EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *echoes ever more*
    Thank you~!!!
    Are we gonna have to wait another whole week for the next chapter? ಥ_ಥ Damn, I’m so PSYCHED right now ~\(≧▽≦)/~ Ya know?(⊙﹏⊙)b
    Happy New Year~!

  46. Happy New Year to you too!
    It’s not fair. Why must the chapter ends here? The author loves to tease a little too much.
    Did our mc really understand the reason behind the points? Did he knows the supposedly stallion novel has changed its genre?
    Will it be Liu Qingge he elopes with later?
    Correction.
    Will Liu Qingge be the cab driver he calls to return home? It’s either him or Yue Qingyuan, but I doubt he’ll call the sect leader for such matter.
    I wanna see our ml revenge after seeing his wifey get kidnapped by another man.
    Thanks for the chapter!

  47. Happy new year Translator sama and fellow readers! May the new year bring multiple chapters in quick succession for our hapless dork SQ! I can’t wait for LB to realize that his Shizun is actually back and was the one he really kissed… will he be embarrassed shocked or Angry!

    Will our Peerless CuCUMber be so peerless anymore? I am so curious 😛
    Will he escape our ML’s clutches or be hidden as the look alike?
    Will the MC realize that he may Love our little Binghe?

    MR CLIFF GET AWAY!!!

  48. Woohoo! It happened! Well, “kiss” is being generous, but we have progress! Poor Cucumber bro, his worldview just shattered and reshaped in a matter of seconds 😂
    Thank you so much for the chapter! Happy New Year!

  49. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CHAPTER IT WAS AWESOME~🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻
    What a good way to finish the year and Happy new year to you too 🎉🎊

  50. PROUD IMMORTAL WAYS

    I FEEL WRONGED OKAY !! I FEEL WRONGED !!! MAA HEART IS BEATING SO MUCH………….AND I HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK UGGHHHH………I FEEL WRONGED TO NOT UNDERSTAND CHINESE T^T HOW DID I ENDED UP LIKE THIS ……….THANKS FOR TRANSLATING ………SOMEONE TEACH ME CHINESE………….AHH TRANSLATOR CHAN CHU IS KAWAIIII………..*SOBS IN THE DARK CORNER*
