Chapter 37 – Labyrinth Water Prison
Check out what people are saying in the comments! I remember it very well. This is the part of the story when a lot of readers said they wanted to drop it.
Were you one of those people? If so, do you still think that Luo Binghe is too yandere?
However, a lot of people found this chapter to be a little… funny?
It’s very dramatic!

Reika’s Notes:
- This chapter was translated by Attica.
- I’m so annoyed at that girl! The prisoner hasn’t even been judged guilty yet she wants to punish him already?
It’s getting really irritating. MC is very bias to the original novel. And ML is soo yandere. I very well understand the reason for these things. I promise I thought out their charecters throughly. The reason for their behavior and such. And I applaud that the characters of them are well thought.
But still I can’t help feeling irritated. VERY IRRITATED.
AAAAAH! these two have way too many misunderstandings!!! I’m going to go crazy with this lack of communication 😭
Thanks so much for the translation ♡
Watching these two misunderstanding so bad that I can’t wait for them to actually clear up all those misunderstandings.
SQQ! Don’t just assume everything about LBH‘s action. You’re saying heart wrenching words….that LBH in front you now isn’t like the original LBH of the novel.. T_T damn I can’t stop crying….
I’m hurt by both of them. I’m crying
thank you
I just want to say….both of them r the real cause of there misunderstanding becoz…SQQ is only thinking everything based on the old novel..he should think that with his involvement story lines can also change it’s course(not completely but to some extent like his to good behaviors.. he got eliminated by his flarting & killing charracters)so why can’t LB’s charracters also changed with this involvement
2ndly LB should lessen his anger and act more cleaverly…
People r pointing towards LB’s forcefifor charracter but u all should think it in other way….how could a person bear to see this love misunderstood him only for his demonic blood..even he blamed everything on him….this world is full of coincidence so it’s not to difficult to avange SQQ and mislead him to believe LB is responsible for all this…
LB also misunderstood SQQ for pushing him in Endless abeys but we all reader knew that it not actually what u see…..
Is it the plot course correcting since it seems it wasn’t LBH who set this into motion?
I swear, all the girls in this book make me lose hope in the female gender
Hey don’t do my lui minyan and qi qingqi like that
wait i dont get the end when binghe says “me again.” someone pls explain
It mean that SQQ always put the blame on him (LBH), because he know he is a Demon.
Thank you for the chapter
Idk why a lot still said SQQ Is at fault?? I still pity LBH for this but SQQ is not the one to blame.
First of all, he already knew the plot of the original story so he got a little bit biased.
BUT, even if he doesn’t know the original plotline, remember in Jinlan city? When LBH choke him? That is already a red flag.
Anyone in their right mind would definitely think that LBH is up for revenge. Plus the timeline fits perfectly, with LBH appearance and SQQ getting framed.
True enough that LBH is being very considerate, BUT again in the original story LBH always play the ‘wolf in a sheep clothes’ role, so it’s understandable that SQQ would think that LBH is just playing tricks on him. And SQQ never thought of him being LBH love interest because it seems far fetched.
If i was put in SQQ shoes, i would definitely think the same thing as him. (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS. I don’t really get why some readers blame SQQ for thinking that way. He started with the knowledge of the entire book and that gave him the upperhand but because the story did not unfold the way it was supposed to (when it clearly
did in the first half) — that made him fell into a state of confusion, thus getting him in a disadvantage.
As for LBH’s sudden appearance, I think SQQ’s reaction is just quite right, I mean you just drove a man to death and if that were you, wouldn’t you hold a grudge to the person who pushed you like that? That’s obviously what SQQ is thinking.
And in the original plotline LBH has founded a harem so SQQ wouldn’t even think of LBH harboring feelings for him because just as like you say it’s too far-fetched!
In a real situation, SQQ’s reaction is as realistic as one could be!
Some readers should try putting their shoes more on the characters situation.
Rationally I would hope that SQQ not fall for LBH because he choked him. That’s not a sigh on love or whatsoever. Reading this is making me so agitated.
Same!!! And the choking and forcing him to drink his blood made me so agitated too!!! It really made not want them to end up together
Chelsea Moonlitskies. LBH was pushed by SQQ in the endless abyss. If it happened to you, wouldn’t you take revenge to that person. I think choking him wasn’t enough though.
Because sqq base everything from the original novel that he’s wrong.
thankyou for the update!!<3
OMg! I need more information! So, is not LB guilty? What happend here!!
Waiting forma more chapters .
Thank You <3
That moment when SQQ doesn’t know he himself is a love rival , lol like listen to LBH for a moment god damn it and forget the old novel . Misunderstanding is everywhere lol and thanks alot for your hard work
This is so much fun! I can’t wait for the next chapter. It’s so much fun seeing how the characters interact and how there are misunderstandings galore along with very reprehensible actions on both sides that equally make them be wary of the other. Thank you for the update!
…So if it wasn’t LBH, who was it? is the original LBH around? intersecting timelines? multiple personalities? Maybe SQQ has a demon twin or something, and the little sower wasn’t mistaken??
ahhh poor Shen Qingqui is having a bad day (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Aaaaaahhhhh aaaahhhhhh misunderstandings are wonderful. If it were food, I’d eat 5 bowls of rice with it. Though I am literally punching the wall after reading it. Thanks for the chapter!
Ugh, harem members are the worst…
It’s hilarious how SQ still doesn’t realize he is, in fact, a love rival.
Thank you for the translation!
Thanks for the chapter! XD LBH feels so wronged in so many levels :3 SQQ is very confused haha
LBH more or less went “neener neener neener, I made everyone hate you” and “nobody with water palace sect will believe anything you say” when he and SQQ first met up in the plague city so its hardly any surprise that SQQ blames him for this.
Oh, could it be that LBG is innocent? If that is the case, I wonder who could be the mastermind behind the conspirancy against SQQ (the Huahua palace, LBG’s demon cohort, the plot god?); at first I thought it was just LBG trying to teach his Shizun a little lesson (because we all know he can’t seriously hate him), but now I’m having doubts.
SQQ can’t really be blamed for assuming though, not only does he know the course of the original plotline, but the time of LBG’s appearance and his suddenly crumbling reputation is just too coincidental; though I agree that SQQ should focus less on the original script and pay more attention to what’s in front of him…
But he is also feeling guilty for throwing the boy down the abyss. He thinks he DESERVES to be punished IMO and that skews his perception
Since I waited patiently I got to read 3 chaps at once x3 Ah this story is wonderful, and the funny strikes again. SQQ inner monologue is hilarious sometimes. But, my heart hurts for LB. I just want that dark muffin to get hugs and love from his shizun ;3; Hopefully next chap they pry apart some misunderstandings and LB gets his heart shook in a good way.
Aaah I see you luo binghe I see you ;3
Oh and gongyi xiao you are a sweet heart
Reasonably speaking, if it isn’t Binghe, then who is framing Shizun? No offense my little black lotus, but you are the most suspicious one here, aside from Ms. Ex-Fiance. Thanks for the chapter!
One of Luo’s rejected haremettes?
Thank you~ ( TT v TT ) *tears of happiness*
Wow, this girl starts whipping SQQ even though LBH said nothing against him! She’s really getting ahead of herself!
“It’s only ever hit beautiful women who Luo Binghe stared at for a little too long, so why is it now being used to hit a man?!!!” lol It’s because you’re her love rival, SQQ! I would love to see SQQ’s expression when he realizes why all the things that happened LBH’s love interests in the original book are happening to him.
I wonder if LBH is going to end up with a twisted mentality where he’s like “I can hurt Shizun but if anyone else touches him I’ll kill them myself.”
in earlier chapters Luo Binghe made it more than clear that he was ruining Shen Qingqiu’s reputation. So it is logical that Shen Qingqiu thinks that Luo Binghe is acting. And Luo Binghe is so confused that to understand what he did or not only with his own POV. Thanks for the chapter!
I know Binghe feels wrng, but after all he did nobody would think he doesnt wants to get revenge…
“…a pile of slag…” is how you describe this female cannon fodder. 😀😀😀
Thanks for the chapter!!!
To be honest I sympathize more for mc, most likely because we read from his pov. Poor mc rather get whipped than being alone with his favorite disciple. He just didn’t know Binghe loves his Shizun so much.
And for the little girl who didn’t deserve a name; encountering such character, my thought was, ‘won’t you die?’
Now who really is the culprit behind all of this ;v;).. (Plot God?) Anyhow I understand SQ on being all nervous and blaming LB cause who will not? He knows the flow of the novel afterall but.. butt he’s just soooo dense not seeing past behind LB’s actions T.T well you two are just absolute dorks so.. haha
Thanks for the chapter reika-sama and attica-sama!!
Mmmm I sense an entire string of misunderstundings here…thanks for this new chapter!
Awesome chapter, thank you! Poor Shen Qingqiu. 🙁
Thanks for the chapter!
That palace mistress… I need to know, did LBH touch her (have s*x) since she is a “harem member” or is it just a misunderstanding on both the harem member and Shizun (or my part)? If yes I’ll be so pissed but I still need to know!
The palace mistress is in love with LBH, but LBH definitely has not touched her. You can tell that LBH does not like her in a romantic way. SQQ is just remembering that in the original book, she was definitely a member of LBH’s harem lol.
Thanks for clarifying.
Sometime i pity Luo Binghe. Shizun really don’t understand him…
Thank you for the chapter:)
Shizun is too focused on the original plot, its blinding him from whats its front, thats what i think
Shizun is too busy trying to avoid dying after he pushed the protagonist down into hell. His mind probably keeps flashing back to ‘human stick, human stick’. While I also think misunderstandings could have been avoided, I do understand why SQQ behaves that way. He’s already biased because he’s read the novel and keeps thinking everything will play out the way it’s written.
╮(╯▽╰)╭ Work hard, BingHe. Your path to love is long and filled with thorns.
Poor Luo Binghe keeps getting blamed. Shen Qingqiu has not yet learned to see this Luo Binghe and the original as two different people. I’m yearning for more!
Hmm LBH not reacting to SQQ state of dress? Aw I am dissapointed
There is still time~
The cliffs are giving me stomach ulcers…
Has our Binghe now some kind of hate-love for his Shizun?
Thank you!!!
Am I the only one feeling sorry for LBH? SSQ is too prejudiced against him just because of the book. He’s never even considered whether LBH has changed at all. 🙍
Thank you for the chapter Translator-sama 💕💕💕💕
This exchange between SQQ and LBH seems strange ?!??
Was he not the one planning the destruction of SQQ??! !?
Oooooh… did NOT see that twist coming! Thank you so much for the chapter. I only caught up to 36 last night so this was magical timing lulz 😁😁😁
Luo Binghe repeated back: “Asking me?”
He sneered: “Me again.”
^^ what does the above part mean?
It means SQQ is accusing him again of being the mastermind… In LB’s POV…so his like saying ‘are you saying that It’s my fault again?’ sort of like that…
Oh my god….. Plzzzzzzzzzz update soon tqs for ur hard work
Huh…
ML is acting like he’s not the one behind this…and I am starting to wonder if this sect is behind it. Their hostility is so strange if ML isn’t stoking it…and he doesn’t seem to be doing that.
His attitude does make the entire sect side with him, i dont think he had zero influence… But yeah…its strange…
It feels like he is going with the flow. Not being active in dissuading them from their unwarranted hate except when they try to harm SQQ and then he destroys their illusions and turns his hate on them for their crimes of hurting his Shizun.
Thanks for the update!! T
What a spicy bondage prison situation…XD. But I still feel bad for SQQ. I doubt LBH would truly wish to harm him but there’s no doubt a lot of grievances in his heart. Hmmm. I wonder what exactly he wants?
Thank you for the update dear translator ^^
I must say things are getting tense.
Maybe just like Shen qiu changed his persona, Luo binghe changed as well.
But i do hope he wont activate that demon blood. Its such an atrocious thing..he basically holds his life and if SQ taunts him accidentally, he’ll suffer greatly. I wish for him to survive the 1 month. Granted, The sect masters..the stallion wives and LB himself wont do anything and just leave him alone in his prison. Though i wish his da xishiongs would visit. He needs that moral support.
@Milly, WP wouldn’t let me reply to you directly on Muguu’s post or post my comment the first half dozen times I’ve tried, so I hope that you’ll be able to read this.
In my opinion, there is absolutely zero reason for you to be chastising Munguu. He/she isn’t being “demanding” or indicating that he/she doesn’t know the translator has a life as you’re accusing. No. Munguu is being sincere, respectful, and thankful in asking for more. In another story I’m reading, there’s been a commenter dissing the translator for “slow” releases, and that is NOT okay. But what Munguu has written can in no way, shape, or form be interpreted as disrespectful to the translator.
I’m with Anra. That comment was true in that we should love and appreciate our translators, but its rudeness was uncalled for.
@Anra and Chewy.
I guess ive grown very protective of translators that anyone who’s comments insinuates or blatantly urges them to hurry up, i must help tone down.
The tone did sound strict didnt it? I wished i couldve made it sound lighter. I didnt mean to scold, only to calm the longing for the next chapter by making her see translator’s situation.
I know how some commenters could be so shameless in demanding translators to update fast and i know how it could make the translators themselves feel like not doing it anymore because it sucks to be told what to do when these people dont know what theyre going through.
I only wished for munguu to know that and yes she was enthusiastic for the next update as everybody else is, me included. But to me, it came out to be quite demanding( wording? )
I guess i misunderstood, so i will leave my apology here. ^^
SQ is the love rival.haha. thank you for the translation!
Wait so does this mean Luo Binghe suspects something??? 😯
Thanks for the chapter!
Thx for the update, ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ
Thank you for the chapter 😊
Getting an update from this had me flush with excitement!! I love reading SQQ self monologue as he panics every time he’s alone with LBH it’s so satisfying seeing him stress out cause he hates how he finds himself to be those enviable pinky situations that should be reserved for the harem wives of LBH ahhhhhhhhh I love it so much cause its my cup of tea.
(ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ
Before I certain that LB that’s the one who set the trap.. Now why for the conversation from LB he was like he didn’t expect SQ to really accuse him ?? Or LB didn’t expect SQ to be humiliated and persecuted is actually what’s LB want from SQ perspective..??
Thanks for the chapter
Duck it.. I’ll skin that bitch alive.. XD that is if Luo Binghe doesn’t do it first.. XD
Thanks for the chapter!!!

────────── from Jack
I have mixed feelings now. Somehow from his respond, it seems that LBH isn’t the one who organize the whole fiasco and frame SQQ. He looked kinda disappointed and hurt when SQQ draws away from his touch.
and here goes LBH comes to save the damsel in distress, but SQQ is even more distressed when he sees LBH QAQ poor LBH (and SQQ too)
Anyway, thanks for the update!
Thanks for the chapter!!😘🍪
that bitch 😡 😡 😡
Please please! Update soon! I am like dying to know what will going to happen next! I feel pitiful towards SQQ now. Like he did all kind of thing to make LBH to shine in the future but the outcome is like this! Argh! Please update soon and thank you for the amazing work! If yoy guys weren’t translating it i would never read this! Thank you!
Dear commenter. Dear translator has her own life. She probably has school or work or is taking care of her kids. She isnt a full time translator who has no life other than sitting all day long, translating. We as readers shouldnt demand when we dont even give her donations that she deserves for putting time on this novel on her free time. Dont rush her, wait patiently like the rest of us. We are as hungry for the next scene as well but control it and be logical and think of the other person.

Posting ‘update soon’ irks some translators though, especially if the update is already fairly frequent. Personally, I think it’s best to just leave it as thank you to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on TLers. Just a thought to keep in mind is that they are dedicating hours of their time for each chapter (xianxia and wuxia are never easy to read, much less TL) and do not receive any compensation beyond donations which some readers willingly give from time to time.
Thanks for the update! I wish it was longer T-T
