Reika’s Notes:

  • This chapter is by Lily of BC Novels.
  • What was our dear author smoking when she wrote this?! Why is there an extra right in the middle of last chapter’s cliffhanger? I sort of wanted to go to the next (proper) chapter instead of this extra but this was the way the author wrote it so here it is.
  • Peerless Cucumber calling Shen Qingqiu cheap made me laugh. 🙂
  • Please let me know if there are any errors.
  • Thanks for reading.

  1. I’m confused. Wasn’t it said that Airplane bro finished his novel? But now it turns out he died in the process? Or was he already working on another story at this point?

  2. I love how exaggerated MXTX makes Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky as. Every time she describes his writing or how much he puts out, I am rolling with laughter at the sheer ridiculousness. 😂

    1. I believe it means uncle, it’s usually used to address people who are older than you but not close with you

    2. It has actually been explained in one of the footnote. It’s equivalent to the Japanese “-sama”

  3. They both died thinking of the other connected by the novel 😅😅😅 if Shen didn’t have his demon boyfriend I would though his soulmate was airplane hahahaha

  4. And in my dreams that “Looking for Hungry Friends at the North Pole Every Day” sister also trans transmigrated into the novel (to become Liu MingYan 😉

    1. SQQ also died cursing poor airplane bro , he kinda makes it look like he killed him

      Guess it’s a draw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  5. Who’s getting the vibes that because of Cucumber getting the attention of Airplane that they both transmigrated into the novel itself ha! Maybe cucumber was subconsciously picked by Airplane

    1. I’m starting to feel a bit silly for taking LBH’s insane behaviour seriously haha. Someone needs to tell SQQ that it’s still Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky’s fault! (Even with the plot changes)

  6. Interesting to get to know a little more about Airplane bro. That kind of death, ugh… Poor him.

    Cucumber was his undying fan, then!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  7. the scenes he wrote with emotional interactions between brothers were all much more exquisite and natural than Bing-ge’s scenes with his wives,

    Me reviewing Shonen

  8. This chapter might not be without reason. Seeing the content of their comment, I assume the person on the other side of the door must be Sect Head Yue? That certain peak leader that have feeling for certain peak leader.
    And I feel that the current story is very much what Airplane want to give cucumber as revenge.

  9. Cucumber-sqq has been calling original-sqq cheap since the very first chapter where he died, which is also the reason why he transmigrated into sqq in the novel _(:3//) is it just me or had Airplane-sensei not died and continued living, cucumber-sqq would end up with Airplane-sensei? Its a weird thought hehe… Thanks for the chapter!

  10. oh my~ so thats whats “you can you up” means 😂😂😂 in the first chapter i kinda confused first saying the concept of the system is “you can you up, no BS” then i guess BS stands for bullshit yes?

  11. Uhm airplane bro, that way of transmigration is quite pitiful. Perhaps you subsconciously wanted to feel how it’s like to cultivate by experiencing a lightning tribulation ( ̄▽ ̄;)

    so… who was on the other side of the door author-sama? Hahaha

    Thanks for the update~

  12. I’m not a big fan of air plane bro..
    but it’s still interesting to learn these tidbits about him.

    and here I thought the biggest basher of the novel was shen yuan but “Ten Years of Reading Sharpens One Sword” is right up there too lmao

    1. omg, other than our lovely cucumber-bro, Ten Years’ comments made me laugh the most
      i was looking forward to a cont. of the last chapter, but this extra is hilarious, i hope the author writes more

  13. Shen yuan: Bing-ge deserves that ‘ge’, he’s cool enough and blackened enough, I like it, haha!

    oh boy xD

  14. “Seriously speaking, the scenes he wrote with emotional interactions between brothers were all much more exquisite and natural than Bing-ge’s scenes with his wives, they practically contain deep love visible to the bare eyes. Airplane really is a natural expert fudanshi”

    NATURAL EXPERT FUDANSHI!
    A HA! THE TRUTH COMES OUT…
    OF THE CLOSET!

    It’s okay, Airplane bro, you are among friends here. *Pat’s back* 🤭🤭🤭

  15. thank you for this gem! I’ve read this extra like 10 times from MTL and polished version and this is even better haha… (can’t cure the cliffhanger from ch 72 though, arghh why??)

    I’m the sisters on floor #23 and #24, tag yourself!!!!!! XD

    1. And here I thought it’s child p0rn and those fujo write shota Binghe fanfiction!

  16. Анна Волкова

    thank you for your work. but it’s not fair to keep us waiting so long. health to you!

  17. Akatsuki no yona

    ” His eyes automatically highlighted every message from that familiar ID Peerless Cucumber. ”
    * exactly how I reacted every time!!!! at cucumber bro’s comment ♥♥♥*

    Even in airplane bro’s novel people were shiping shizun x binghe

    AHH MAI GAUD!!!!!!!!!????????
    (¯口¯)/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

    Umm… I wrote this comment n posted it … but suddenly it appeared in someone’s reply so maybe ummm SORRY 🙇🙇🙇

  18. So our Peerless Cucumber inadvertently contributed to airplane bro entering the novel as well 😂

    Thanks for the great translation 😁

  19. “Very good, you have successfully attracted my attention.”
    BUHAHAHAHAHAAHAH-HA!! Nice one. This sentence sounds so much like a ML, it’s a pity that nothing else of Airplane-gege is usable ML material xD

    Airplane-juju needs a thick tight to grab. (Grabbing the third leg would be nice too ;P)

    Thanks for the chapter!!!

  20. Thank you for the update. I knew how Airplane died but having it in full detail is just gold.

    I hope you and your mother will get better soon.

  21. Nooooo I was so excited Dx aaah but at the same time I actually don’t mind waiting Xd it will make bingqiu reunion that much more sweet~
    Thank you for the translation <3

  22. Also can someone please kindly explain it to me how the heck you can write 10k (and 25k!) a day??? Anyone??

    1. There are people who write 3k words per hour when they wordd sprint. 10-25k with a proper outline in the background is doable, but with that you’re a full time writer for sure.

    2. Lol, it’s the only impressive thing about Airplane bro… I guess he sacrificed quality for quantity because his entire livelihood depends on his writing? I can just imagine him typing furiously in the dark, pulling inspiration from the thirsty readers’ comments…

    3. Even if you think about it that way, like he really needed money and sacrificed quality for quantity, still, 10k+ a day is insane. And his fingers must be super tired after typing that much after just one session, and typing that much every freaking day…ok now I feel sorry for him

    4. Just write. Don’t think of anything else, just keep on writing. I literally spent 9 hours a day to write 10k+ words XDXDXD on a story without a plotline. Very tiring but satisfying, you’re welcome to try.

  23. I too was on the edge of my seat for the next chapter but this extra is about Airplane bro, how could I have not liked it?
    It never fails to tickle my funny bone when someone calls Shen Yuan out on how thoroughly he kept reading/analyzing the book despite how much he hated it XD
    And?? Shen Yuan is the one to blame for Airplane’s transmigration?? lmaooo

  24. ¿Entonces avioncito disparado al cielo no había terminado de escribir la novela cuando murió? :0

  25. As much as I want to know who the mysterious person is, I have to say loved the extra! Gosh, it’s hilarious 😂 And it’s nice to see a bit of Shen Qingqiu before his transmigration

    1. Akatsuki no yona

      * exactly how I reacted every time!!!! at cucumber bro’s comment ♥♥♥*

  26. White Head Ice Prince

    Waited 6 days.. for an extra .. still loved the extra. Sincerely Thank you for all the hard work. Hope life works out for you (so we get more releases :P) love ya

  27. MXTX really loves to make her reader suffer ahahaha. I already read the Airplane Extra plenty of time, so just to see this after a cliffhanger really makes me want to cry TToTT. Hope she gives us a good BingxShen reunion

  28. So… I am now with the mental image of Cucumber bro actually “itching to ride on his back, grab him by the neck, and shake; kissing and spitting on him with mixed love and hate” to Airplane bro.
    And I kind of like that mental image.

  29. As ever, Thank you for your hard work ! 🙂 I’m glad everything turned out okay for your mom !
    I wish you a fast recovery !
    I’m a bit perturbed to see an extra like this just after the cliffhanger from last chapter but it’s fun to finally see how Airplane bro ended up in the novel too hahah
    I saw a lot of fan art depicting SY dying from food poisoning. Is is true or not ? At first, I thought he died from some sort of sickness

    1. I think the food poisoning thing is actually canon but Shen Yuan was said to be sick anyway, right? So the food poisoning was just the final straw.

  30. Oh noooo… I was really expecting to the continual of the story, what happened to SQQ when he woke up… I did not expect this extra at all… in the middle of a story… making the cliffhanger much longer 😭😭

  31. airplaneshootingtowardsthesky

    T~T i’ve read this already tho it’s really great~ airplane also has his own romance

    1. @Miyamura Yamada I think it’s with Mobei jun? I heard it’s supported by the author but still “non canon” if I’m not mistaken (⌒▽⌒)

    2. I was thinking who’d Airplane would be paired up with. I’m surprised that it’s Mobei jun! I was taken back to that time why Mobei Jun appeared early and that was Shen Yuans debut haha …. How on earth did their love story start??? i’m curious now.
