    My heart! Poor Shen Jiu!

    Since he was raised in such a despicable way, it is not surprising to see he ended up a completely dark and spiteful person when he got older. Your surroundings and upbringing influence you. 😭

    That was absolutly horrendous for the System to use LBH do do such arm to SQQ; I’m so angry. This was so cruel; The system had already taken all the B points so why on earth this level of cruelty;
    To create a trauma into SQQ while watching LBH now is it suppose to help in the avancement of the story considering how how the system have been allocating point so far?

    System baka!!!!

    I am reading this story again after almost 1 year. This whole plot (Shen Jiu) is so heartbreaking…knowing everything that happened later between these characters, all the pain and sadness caused by mismatches and misunderstandings.

    Some people already know who is this 7th brother ( i wont tell)… he really wanted to help and save Shen Jiu, he always cared about him until the end…oh God i cant stand this…

    The Airplane extras show us another side of the original Shen, i really like the original and wished that he could have his own second chance…

    I would love to read something like: original Shen could have switched places with Shen Yuan after that fever and would be living in the real world…unfortunatelly is just my wishful thinking.

    Sorry for my english (i am from Brazil)…thanks for translating ❤️

      yes, so many misunderstandings TvT
      qijiu’s backstory is just filled with knives QAQ
      Oh, I think there’s actually a fic where original SQQ switches places with SY! It’s How Not to Live Like a Scum Villain on ao3 and seems pretty promising 😀

    “I’m going to join one and learn how to cultivate so I can come back and rescue you.”

    Me, insert that meme of a woman thinking with math formula at background: !!!
    For once reading this book there’s tears in my eyes. If it’s really what I think it is, the sect leader must have felt very guilty even on his death in his original book. He achieved so many things and may have turn the sect as something as a family that will protect their own. My heart- I have found my favourite character despite already at the climax at almost at the end. Really good really good placement of backstory, now we know why he love him so much

    Thank you for the translations

    Aww that bro outside the door 100% has to be Yue Qinyuan. I’m guessing sth happened nd he didn’t get to come back for shen jiu which is why he was spiteful. Shen jiu seemed like the calm type who also hold grudges. Looks like he had reasons for ending up the way he did too. Such a shame that Aeroplane didn’t get to write all these interesting details down coz most fans had below average intelligence who didn’t want backstories nd character depths nd just wanted an op Mc having papapa with his harem collection =_=

    If Shen Qingqiu couldn’t see the adorable Luo Binghe as fast as possible, he felt as if his limbs would continue to hurt the instant he recalled that name. Could the young man who was a pure and innocent little white flower quickly come out and feed him a tranquilizer?!

    ….the first person he really always wanted to see is his adorable Bingpup. Tested and proven until the end of the novel. :beauty:

    I want more of original LBH and SQQ’s interactions but with less violence please. We can’t have SQQ’s limbs ripped off everytime.

    Having Xiao Jiu and Seventh Bro together is kind of strange. It would make more sense to either translate both or leave both as is.

    But regardless, thanks for the chapter!

    Still can’t believe i just realize i like the actual/original(?) Luo binghe…
    I mean, i just re-read this cuz the earlier chapter got retranslated. And i kinda like him after imagining, then like him even more after this!! Is this binghe gonna appear again in the future? Preferably not cutting shizun to human stick, or is there some extra that i could read about/with the original binghe??? Plz do tell if anyone knows🙏🙏

    Don’t use that face to do something like this.

    Damn. I cried 😢😢😢😢 SQQ doesn’t want his image of the adorable Bingmei be tainter by Bingge, or else he’ll hate Bingmei again now that they just ‘reconciled’. SQQ looking for adorable Bingmei to comfort him after being hurt by Bingge is cute as well as sad. He wants to see Bingmei! Bingmei… where are you? I think when he sees Bingmei he’ll finally realize how much he loves Bingmei.

    I feel like it’s Yue quinyuan….like think about it.

    It would uncover two plot holes at the same time. One, what really made him like that, and two, why Yue treats him so well.

    Bingge is weirdly affectionate ( I.g Stroking his calves and speaking gently). I thought he would be more condescending or hostile for the way he was treated in the past.

    His behavior here seems to suggest that he didn’t hate him and actually has some attachment to Shen Jiu.

    Either way his behavior is creepy. Did he had some weird sadistic kink?

    Since I’ve glanced at the raws for a bit, I realized “Chapter 73” is actually an extra with a few parts in total, randomly scattered throughout the rest of the chapters. Will you be translating that first or skipping to Chapter 74 where it continues off of here?

    Soooo, SQQ is ready and willing to be comforted by LBH? Do we get an emotional reunion scene in the next chapter? Pretty pleeeeeease (puppy eyes)))
    The Dream Demon is pure gold, btw, saving SQQ and even helping to fill in the plot holes left by the careless Airplane.

    Ooh so that’s the sect master? Did the original SQQ resent him because he didn’t come save him?

    1. nasi padang

      not particularly bc he didnt get saved, maybe bc he’s late… before this we know that SQQ managed to escape with the evil cultivator, so i guess SQQ just hate the sect master because the sect master doesnt seem to rescue him asap despite SQQ already fed enough with the treatment in the house

    I feel like the seventh bro is Yue Qingqiu. Like it’s suchhh a strong feeling!!

    “It’s not as if this is my first time doing something like this. How is Shizun still so unaccustomed to it? Then, let’s do it a few more times until you slowly get used to it.”

    The punishment for SQQ is finding out that the original Luo and Shen have been locked in a dream world doomed to repeat the human stick scene over and over while SQQ has been in the novel world with the cute LB. Right?

      Not quite. It’s just that the original lbh has already done this once before only to the original shen qingqiu

    SO! the dream demon is adorable, bing-ge is fucking terrifying (and I’m into it), and SJ’s past is pretty much exactly as bad as we all expected! What a great day to be SQQ. Gkgksgfjsgs lfjgsg sgsfjfg I’m on the floor the plot keeps getting thicker and I live for it, but also,,,, so many knives,, __(:’D/

      I can actually imagine original SJ having hearts in his eyes when he was looking at 7th.

    Such an painful chapter…so many emotions.

    I’m also emotional about the fact that SQQ is being in extreme pain and the first thing he’s thinking about is seeing HIS Binghe to feel better.

    Uh. Do we really have to anglicize Qi-Ge’s name? Qi is his name not his title you know….

    Or at least use brother Qi? It’s very… jarring. Feels like Luo Glacier

    3. nasi padang

      yeah and glacier also literally means binghe.

      yeah i prefer qi-ge or brother qi as well..

    1. nasi padang

      i still dont get why he’d say that but my face at the moment reading that part be like : ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) i see shen “no homo” qingqiu

    2. zelulu1994

      He love his little sheep so much that he could bear to associate his face with so much suffering; That’ why he want to see his sheep as soon as possible in order to erase the last vision;
      The system really was horrendously cruel here;
      THank to the Dream Demon to have save the day and give SQQ a little bit of warm at the moment because it will just have been to sad for him to wake up alone after such a nightmare.

    The amount of plot that Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky dumped for the sake of Bing-ge’s harem :”D

    This chapter really hurts, I do hope that Shen Jiu truly sees the Seventh Bro as a friend. They seem to have a really good relationship .

    Thank you for the chapter! 💚

    Is the emphasis on “like” by the brother implying something worse than beating, or is it not? (I hope not, but considering how we know the sister did seem to genuinely romantically like Shen Jiu, I’m kind of concerned)

    Hmm I`m pretty sure that this 7th Bro is sect master Yue, there were enough hints.

    What I don`t get is the connexion between two LBHs! Their minds coexist or what? Is current LBH like the reincarnated original LBH and the bits of past memory and personality can be found only in the remote places of dream landscape? Otherwise I don`t see how Dream Demon could interact with current LBH but still be able to enter original LBH`s realm…

    Also the way this LBH looked at and talked to SQQ is a bit unexpected. Well I mean in the original novel there are many blind spots and the motivations of characters are not fully described, so perhaps behind the scenes of harem get piece there was some kind of guro love-hate relationship, and original LBH was also Shizun-addicted, just in a bit different sense of word. I think I`d like this kind of story, it`s like bad ending with Clear in DMMD :3
    Although for current LBH and SQQ I just hope for fluff and H scenes and happy ending *////*

      Aah It really is like the bad clear DMMD ending o.o I kinda want this au now xD

      oh there is no connection between our LBH and the original LBH. the thing is the original luo binghe is a real being that exists..just in a separate universe

      The system somehow was able to dump Shen qingqiu Into that luo binghe’s dream scape for ‘punishment’ and Lbh was clearly perplexed about this since someone was able to enter his dream scape without his permission. I’m sure the dream demon was able to enter that dream using his connection to Shen qingqiu.

      But yeah the original LBH is quite the character isnt he >< if you want to know more about him I highly recommend reading the 'bingmei vs bingge' extra in the future, its amazing <3

    I’m calling it !!! It’s Yue Qingyuan ! It has to be Yue Qingyuan! SQQ has been moaning the entire time that Yue Qingyuan is too nice too him. He’s the only one with such a nice temper! He died in the original book to save SQQ !! To repay his loyalty ! Don’t say I spoiled it cause I didn’t get spoilers nor did I read ahead okay >x< !!
