Reika’s Notes:
- Chapter translated by Yan.
- This chapter marks the birth of a brand-new character, Peerless Cucumber! As you know, this name is an innuendo since “cucumber” is one of the euphemisms for… *cough* you know.
- Oh, no! It seems that Shen Qingqiu’s reputation has definitely suffered even after he sacrificed himself. Hmph, I would have thought Luo Binghe would want to cleanse his poor Shizun’s reputation.
- There have been so many people reading Scum Villain that this website went over the website hosting bandwidth limits. I had to pay the bill prematurely and when the hosting has to be renewed in February I will have to get a more expensive one.

Omg i’m gonna cry if he doesn’t shave his beard i just searched up pics and-
I can’t picture him with a beard now that I’ve seen the donghua. I wonder what he’d look like animated if they get this far. I bet it’d be comical. 😂
I wish he remove that beard.
Ofcourse!! Plot armour… let me just suck my tears back in from two chapters go 😂
I just wasted some tears for you XDD I’m having flashbacks of Black Clover
OMG EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS XDDD
Give me back my heart break and tears
Me too i had been crying like shit like someone from my family died or something i was thinking to have a break beacuse i was trying to calm myself and i failed and when i calmed a little i forced myself to read more cause its like my heart wont stop aching or that my tears wont stop comming if i dont confirm it again and when i clicked the next chapter i saw a diff perspective i thought i had to read the rest chapters in diff perspective and when he said that he faked his death i started crying out of relief i was kind of shocked cause i didnt expect for this to happen
I wonder what he looks like with a beard?😂😂 is there some picture of that?
Ok I take my words back..he freaking faked his death smh 😂😂🤦 atlst it makes more sense tho.
Where did that “Sun and Moon Dew Flower Seeds” came from? Didn’t they plant some mushrooms they took from that cave? The mushrooms turned into flower seeds? Honestly, this story has to much nonsense for me to keep up.😩😂
It was always been called sun and moon dew flower seeds for me tho
wdym?? it has always been called sun and moon dew flower seeds. Are we reading the same svsss lol
whatt.? sorry i think you didnt read the right novel then, the prrvious chapter has the same name for this seed … it has always been seed…. no mushroom… -_- and i think the nonsense is just the original story written by Aiplane Bro (Shang Qinghua), this novel just follows the original story and it has been mentioned that Airplane Bro wtore low-quality novel… you should have known in the 1st chapter Shen Yuan said “stupid author stupid novel” and u should have known if this contains comedy so u dont have to take it logically…
I just the comments about switching hardware and not downloading the virus again. Lol
“One explanation is a hatred as deep as the sea. But there’s still another explanation that I, Old Lu, find more believable. Let me tell you guys…”
I need to know what next words lol… Or any suitable continuation? 😂 I just need confirmation since I’m so dense
Haha! Probably just everyone in the world realizing LBh’s feelings before SQq.
or ‘a key part of his body forgot to grow,’ —— haaaaahahahahha his dick
I changed my hardware, I’m not going to install your virus software again hahaha! ——— ahahahahaha i wished the system interrupted the story more though
He based this body on the appearance that he, Shen Yuan, originally had in his past life. ——— but then all the other sentences refer to our MC as Shen Qingqiu ——— so is the reborn body Shen Yuan or the immortal sect leader?
He silently picked up the beard again and stuck it back on his face. ——— what did you use to stick the shaved hair back onto your face????? water???????????
if that system character has been killed off, i’ll be very sad :(( i’ll miss her. she was very funny
Remember when it’s said Sqq had ti use a bit of his blood to make that body with the seads? Well i’m guessing this is why his reborn version is still refered to as Sqq: because using his old body’s blood meant that….the genes mixed up?
“this face still looked thirty-to-forty percent similar to Shen Qingqiu’s.”
So he’s like a mix of the very handsome young man like Sqq and his past less handsome but still pretty face that he had in his 21st century life
Thank you for the chapter
Omg !! So that was that item for !!! I thought it was like an elixir or something, man, this is so Awesome !!!! I hope he won’t be found out soon !
I agree! Now this seems more fun and exciting!
New protagonist with a beard and an iconic fan i’m laughing so hard oh I love this author
Also thank you so much for translating! I ‘m really greatful since I don’t know chinese at all
I just read this whole thing in 2 days because tomorrow starts finals week and I’m Suffering(tm)
Thank you so much for translating this!!! I was attracted to the story by fanart of the beautiful characters and I’m so glad that there’s a way that I can enjoy it!
omg!!! I feel you… My finals week started today TT TT and I’m praying for my survival…
This chapter made my day T_T
Good luck on your finals.
Realmente espero y disfruto esta novela, Thank you!
hmhmm it would have been good if the carefully nurtured plant body was extra sturdy so it can later withstand the relentless nightly attacks of the protagonists harem endurance cucumber _(;3) )_
thank you for the chapter XD !!!
I feel bad for SQH, you just know that he’s in limbo waiting for SQQ to pop out so he can escape his own predicament lol, hes not a brave soul at all, but you would think he is with all the things hes gotten into lol…
I hope he has his own spin off so we can find out all about him and how he came to be in his own story, with a resentful reincarnator dragging him around to do various things 😛 I am sure that he feels as wronged as SQQ does.
As for SQQ… you dumbass… you pick features similar to SQQ and even adopt his mannerisms? you really want to be found out don’t you idiot… baka…
Same here.. am curious to know the author’s side of the story.. SQQ may be suffering but he still has LBH by his side.. SQH doesnt have anyone by his side and his character is even lower than the mc’s character.. at least SQQ has the other peak lords by his side but the status of SQH actually bars him from having any close friends.. and he is really funny..
Ohoho, did I read that right? Airplane bro defected to the demon world? Interesting.
And yes! Our boy SQQ is somehow… alive. With a beard! And he wants to destroy SQH’s backdoor.
I love him so soso so much. Shizun is the best. Thank you for the translation!
“Shen Qingqiu opened the fan with a swish, fanning it in front of his chest, sending his long hair and beard flying. He probably didn’t look very good, as he didn’t really match his prop, but it didn’t matter. With a folding fan in his hand, he now had the tool he needed to seem pretentious.”
someone save this man from himself jkghsknk
i can’t… believe… he cut off that gross beard with a rock and then just… put it back on… wtf darling love yourself more pls
also yoooo i can’t believe he tried to call himself peerless cucumber as like an actual irl person name. he deserves every misunderstanding that followed. that nerd
thank you so much for the translation! i’m Very Excited to see how the rest of this story develops and also dying to catch up w my precious baby LBH bc it seems like things are pretty rough for him rn, emotionally speaking
I cried so much the chapter before this. Really. I was almost dying on my own tears.
Thanks for translating scum villain. I fell in love with this novel at the first chapter! Thanks for every chapters you realesed!! (srry the bad english)
Everyone seems to be talking about SQQ’s new alias but I still can’t get over the fact that Shang Qinghua and SQQ actually had a plan. Also the fact that he is a literal plant right now.
Did his spiritual roots change? Can he photosynthesize? Does his cucumber taste like cucumber?
Ok, but seriously, there are some seriously weird plot devices at work here. Strange that dream demon did not ask Binghe to make a body for him
Thank you for translating!
I’m dying at Shizun sabotaging his own igconito disguise lmao.
Here’s to hoping LQQ Personal Grab Service finding his reborn no. 1 client!
Poor MQF though…. I hope he’s well taken care of…
Thank you for translation!
Aiyo… LBH that child… Just keeps getting worse… Peerless cucumber (lol) just can’t get any rest,
Being in a sort of a coma for 5 years though, I wonder if he should still be peerless cucumber, lmao
Things are becoming more interesting and intense.Luo Binghe probably crying over his Shizun’s dead body.And Really Really Big BIg Thank for translating chapter.
I’m quite confused….
Could someone please enlighten me as to what kind of beard he has and what it looks like and how big it is?…
Because….. Shen Qin was as hairless as a male shoujo Protagonist.
So how, did his new body that looked similar to him, suddenly grow so much hair, that it could cause his whole face to be indistinguishable. I CANT IMAGINE IT AT ALL. I’m so co fused lmao.
Also… so that was his plan…. ohhhh.
I not hate this novel now. And the dumb system is gone. Thank god. So annoying and limiting.
So, he’s going to enjoy being a true reincarnation now lol. Interesting!
There’s already fanart of bearded Peerless Cucumber! https://twitter.com/Chimfucius/status/1066916045993127936
Oh wow!! Okay okay.
That’s interesting.
…
And now that I’m thinking about it. He shaved off his beard… then put it back on… that’s just gross lol.
And he looks older?! Then his original body?!
I’m cracking up so hard 😂
They… grew a body? Good god, I was not expecting that.
Why oh why did he not use his real name in real life and instead choosing PEERLESS CUCUMBER?? 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the chapter!
Lu Liu guessed, “Peerless… Chrysanthemum?”
PFFFFF YES HAHAHAHAHHA
Innuendo x2 omg. this chapter was defo the lightheartedness we needed after last ch lol.
Oh my! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much for the update!! DAMN AHAHAHAHAH PEERLESS CUCUMBER; but you know LBH’s cucumber is more peerless than yours 🌚
I’m looking forward to when LBH comes back into the picture… heheh. And SQH 😂
Looking forward to the next chapter!! I swear I’ll donate when I have some money too ;w; )
Why did LBH do such a thing to Mu QingFang? I really need a reason to like LBH, I wasnt expecting him to go overboard. After all that revealtion he is still becoming a tyrant, or is it all just a rumour?
Iirc he didn’t. He just imprisoned him and insisted that he heal his Shizun.
Perhaps this is a spoiler, but remember that SQQ is also an unreliable narrator and many events are coloured by his thoughts and LBH never actually admitted to doing anything….
Thank you for translating this!
How do you stick a beard back on after cutting it off? #Peerless cucumber hacks that can save your life! Call now and it’ll even include you your very own scum villian system!
If he stuck with the name peerless cucumber, I would end up laughing too much.
Thank you so much for the awesome new chapter! You guys are literally the best!
First thank you for the chapter! Second is there a schedule that I can follow for when this updates?
Cries
Hi! Thanks so much for the update!! I was wondering if the ads help the site gain revenue? I usually use adblock but would of course whitelist this site if it helps 🙂
0o oh wow…
So after saving his life what was the plan? To settle down somewhere quiet?
Because shit got real and he needs to save the world from his future hubby.
Chapter is kind of hard to follow, so much happening simultaneously. And I forgot who Ma MingQing (spelling?) is TvT
Ty for sharing bbs! <3
He’s the peak master of Qian Cao Peak (i think that’s the name), one of the peaks from SQQ’s sect. His peak basically trains healers and he’s the master of them so he’s one of the best healers in the cultivation world.
He got better.
“I’m not going to install your virus software again hahaha!”
You mean ‘malware’?
Hahahahaha!
First of all, thank you for your hard work and patience, translators! I owe you guys my life!
Second, really? Nobody found a parallel for Shizun literally growing a body on the ground with MDZS’s WWX planting A Yuan? Someone’s gotta make a meta theory out of this!
Third, SHIZUN PLEASE CHANGE YOUR NAME, I CAN NEVER READ PEERLESS CUCUMBER WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!
Oh oh I remember that! Ahahahaha WWX is right all along, Ah Yuan could grow by planting him ahahahaha
Scum Villan was written first so I think WWX planting Ah Yuan was like a callback to this. 🙂
LBH! That welp actually crippled Mu Qingfang?!! So ungrateful. -_-
Wait, wait, hold up – there’s too much going on! So;
– Shang Quinghua… defected to the DEMON world?! O_o
– Mu Qingfang… was CRIPPLED by that crazy child!!? T^T
– Said crazy child… became HEAD of the Huan Hua Palace!!?? QAQ
– Our Peerless Cucumber.. is walking around with his own shaved beard STUCK ONTO HIS FACE!!??? Orz
Well, time to reread the whole thing 27 times. (`•v•`)9 Thanks a lot for the awesome chapter!
The author ran to safety and to wait for SQQ to come back.
Isnt the sun and moon seed too domineering? What the heck you can reincarnate by putting your soul in another vessel? How is this not a forbidden magic?
lol the author making so much op stuff is one of the reasons why sqq hated the novel XD
BWAHAHAHA !!!!
That silly username just made me remember one blog named “BURSTING CHRYSANTHEMUMS” i still laugh to this day whenever i remember this one xD
Wait. Are we entering new pairing now?
I heard this novel has 3 pairs(?).
God no…i still want SQQ to be with Binghe. ; u;
I saw a fancomic of the water prison thingy….and i was expecting it to happen. SHAAAMMMEE
Peerless Cucumber which also sounds like peerless chrysanthemum? Oh the innuendos
Peerless 🥒, seriously Sqq? Kkkkkkk
Thank you for the chapter.
Thank you very much for that cucumb.., I mean chapter.
Peerless Cucumber returns! Now that he’s been freed from the system, I suppose he can actually act like himself instead of imitating Shen Qingqiu anymore.
It looks like Luo Binghe became a tyrant after all, but it was only after the MC died. Fate is difficult to fight against, even for him…
If he can’t make a grand entrance, then he surely isn’t Shen Qingqiu. Or should I call him Peerless Cucumber now? (Peerless Chrysanthemum would suit him more though!) XD
He actually plastered the beard back on and still tried to look pretentious with his current appearance 😂
I love the idea of the body resembling his original appearance ❤
thank you for the chapter 💕💕
Ohh, I finally catched up. But What exactly is SQQ going to do now?
Thanks for the chapter!
cant he think a better name .. like his name from his previous life XD
Thanks for the wonderful update.. soo curious what will be LBH’s reaction if he knows his beloved shizun is still alive and kicking
\(^__^)/
He likes trolling people… Give him a break.
oh? so there’s a limit to viewers in blogsite?
Patiently waiting for the next chapter 👍😍
Tf HAHAHAHA Can’t SQQ use his real name instead if that username HAHAHAHA
Thanks for the chapter!!
The holding fan agshdjd ofcourse! Anyways, I’m so happy SQQ is back, although he’s planning to be kinda anonymous for now.
Liu Qingge fighting Luo Binghe over and over again for Shen Qingqiu and everything😩 Can he please be the first one to find the reincarnated SQQ.
Though, SQQ not looking like SQQ anymore is somehow so weird, but oh well, as long as he’s alive.
Thank you for the chapter!!
Spoiler: SQQ will get his old body again later, no worries xD
SQQ unleashed LOL. He’s so happy to be away from all the bullshit. Also LOL @ long line of reincarnators.
This chapter is just pure SQQ hijinks and hella different from last chapter hahaha. Meanwhile everyone else is angsting like crazy while the center of the problem is hula dancing to his newfound freedom
Waaah!!! Not only this but you also updated Heaven Official’s Blessing today! Thank you very much! 😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙
SV and HOB have different translators . ^_^
He seriously needed a folding fan… just so that he could look pretentious…
Chrysanthemum bro, why are you like this? Don’t be surprised when Binghe recognizes you as Shizun immediately. I mean, you’re basically sabotaging your own disguise.
I’m upset that Luo BingHe harmed Mu QingFang for no good reason, that’s fucked up!! I hope the sweet person from the past is in there somewhere ;; Also!!! Shen QingQiu welcome back!!!! Thanks so much for this chapter!!!
Thankyou, 4 your hardwork ….
☺☺☺☺☺
I feel that Airplane is going to find him first because of that name. Ah, him going incognito for a bit will hopefully be entertaining! Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter 🍪🍪🍪🍪
“It was no longer just a dream to “plant a small Shen in the spring and reap a big Shen in the fall”!
Is this a reference to something or a proverb?
…..
Thank you so much for the translation!
Thank you for the hard work. Airplane defected? Peerless Chrysanthemum??? Lol. This novel is such a joy. Can’t wait for the next update.
Thank you so much for the chapter.
Really happy this has a regular posting schedule.
Thanks for your efforts!
Peerless Chrysanthemum XDXDXD HE FAILED TO BE A PEERLESS CUCUMBER SO HE COULD BE A PEERLESS CHRYSANTHEMUM INSTEAD XDXDXD my life is almost complete… ;w; thanks for the chapter!!! XD
Peerless chrysanthemum suits you more, cucumber bro
This!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is a really clever way to get everything up to speed after….that last chapter. But ahhh, my glass maiden heart is worrying over all these changes!
Luo became Huan Hua Palace Head??
Cang Qiong Peak even covers for Shang Qinghua Airplane Bro running into the arms of Mo Beijun?? /which actually is quite touching loyalties them cuties
Ahaha, okay, Luo not returning the body is definitely not a surprise though. This must be the yandere blackening of a blackened white bun. Suffering twice more!
TT__TT Liu Qingge, you are a true man of valor and justice!!
TT__TT Mu Qingfang, how could this happen to you!!
Also wow, Luo was clearly struggling with inner demons at that time before Shen Qingqiu self destructed. I guess they explained it away pretty easily because protagonist. >> they recognize family, not logic
>>Ah, his body wasn’t listening to him again.
>>Great God Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky was much too reliable.
>>Shen Qingqiu’s ‘haha I am Shen Qingqiu of the Xiu Ya sword from the Central Plains’ Cang Qiong Mountain sect’s Qing Jing Peak’ didn’t even reach his throat before it made a sharp u-turn.
Ah it looks like my comments got cut off due to excessiveness. Well, the >> brackets were to denote my favorite lines at the end. Here is the 2nd part that got chopped off:
Awww, I wanted to hear what Lu Liu was going to say!! [It always seems like Shen Qingqiu barges in with exquisite timing like this because he can’t bear to hear it said.]
These fellows…I guess they were bringing ghosts to them by talking of these things eheh. The dreaded extra presence scare!!
OMG SHEN QINGQIU TO THE RESCUE!!
Ohohoho destroying his backdoor. XD
Leave that to Mo Beijun my dear!!
Now I want to play a game where you can plant people and have big and small charactors. _(:3)∠)_
Oh goodness, these are truly wonderful dorks scheming together, I love it a lot. But Shen Yuan, aren’t you forgetting something about the system? Being, that, it’s tied to Luo Binghe? X3c
AND NOW FOR THE LAST PART —–
Ah!! He has his original appearance!! And Shen Qingqiu’s! The mixture of both!! Unless he was the reincarnation of SQQ in the real world. Which has a lot of interesting notes for offshoots of fan fiction.
This Shen Yuan is such a cutie floofball. Dragging down what line of seniors who had reincarnated? You did awesome!! THIS WAS UTTER PERFECTION.
I also like how he immediately found a beautiful fan just like that. Because of course, that is the first thing! And then it ends there on a cliffhanger! But also it is such a thing he would do, run in and save people.
The author is amazing at keeping this tempo tantalizing, oh goodness. Looking forward to the next update, thanks for putting in so much effort to share the love! I hope this isn’t too much of a ridiculous comment, I just wanted to give some support ♥
You have much to say. O.O I like it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
LMAO~!
No one knows he’s back~
Thank you for the update, Yan…
The first part seems a bit depressing, why didn’t LBH clear the misunderstanding to the whole world? And Mu QingFang… That’s so sad…
With new appearance, will LBH recognize his beloved Shizun?
Thanks for the chapter ❤o(_ _)o
I love you, ahre
Thank you for the update 💕💕💕💕💕
Holy sht.
MC really thought this true!
Thank you for the chapter!
What is the chapter schedule to December?
Because December is like five days away.
Never mind! I misread that. My brain inputted why for what. Sorry!
Aaaah~ SQQ and SQH are besties hahaha such good scheming haha
Thanks for the chapter!!~
*facepalm X 10* CHRIST this chapter is just full of Shen Yuan shenanigans. 1) He re-pastes on his beard, 2) names himself Peerless Cucumber, 3) the first thing he reaches for is his (WILDLY ICONIC) fan. It’s not even going to be hard for Bing-mei to recognize him. Though I guess LBH is still searching desperately for a way to resurrect his Shizun; actually maybe that’s why SQQ’s name hasn’t been washed clean already in a flood of blood. Also, what is this story about Great God Airplane defecting to a demonic sect??? Thanks for the chapter!!!
Thank you for the chapter!
Peerless chrysanthemum…hehe
Thank you for the update! So glad to see our precious Shizun flower grew up in the mud well…
Needs to look pretentious eh…
Thanks for the great translation!!
Ahh. I had a dream this updated today. It had come true. Here comes the new adventure of Peerless Cucumber! Let us see what he is up to next~
Thank you very much for the translation!
Thank you so much for this chapter! What did LBH do to Mu Qingfan!!!!???? That’s f up man. Past chapters I thought he was just angry for “being rejected” by Zhijun. But maiming Mu Qingfan? I thought evil energy was cleansed by Zhijun self destruct already. I guess he’s just on path to become evil tyrant. That evilness is coming out …. poor senior Mu Qingfan ;_;
I feel responsible for the spikes in page view…. the past 3 days I sort of relentlessly visit BCNovels 4 times a day just in case there’s something wrong with my email subscription. I thought may be I could read this chapter faster. Sorry….
Also if there’s early chapter of Scum Villain on Patreon I would be patreon in a heart beat!!!
Thanks for the update. Waaah our MC is back. 😳 his meeting with our ML will surely be amazing 😳
Thank you so much for the update!!
Thank you for the update 💕💕💕💕💕
Reading about how his name was being mangled , hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Peerless Wildflower sounds pretty ,tho.
And that bit with the new hardware , no viruses are present, lol!! !!👍💯
Re-read chapter 43 and this chapter while listening to phantom of the opera-prague cello quartet and it gave the story another feeling.
Thankyou for your hardwork in translating, editing and proof-reading this story.
Can’t wait for the next chapter ^^
thanks 4 the update………
Omg. Thank you for the chapter! Haha sqq’s new name is awesome. folding fan for life.
Not just any folding fan, but a scenic landscape folding fan!
aw, wait, he doesn’t look completely like Shizun anymore? T_T I thought he would just grow a new Shizun body!
I mean…if he did it would kind of defeat the purpose.
Not sure that was a good choice of names
FIRST!
-poor Shizun in a beard fucking cracks me up “i have to stay low profile and not give myself away, now wheres my iconic fan”
That’s the best way I’ve heard it put yet. I laughed out loud.
Thanks so much to Yan!
I’m so happy…the coming chapters are some of my faves…ima die….jdjjdjjdjd
PEERLESS CUCUMBER FOR NEW PROTAGONIST
