    Yue Qingyuan just stood by and happily indulged his favorite shidi Shen jiu in torturing an impoverished poor kid for years . A child who had came to their sect with lots of hope and love despite his already terrible childhood. All because he was guilty. He 100% deserved the end he got in the hand of original Bingge. What a terrible sect leader.
    The less we say about Shen Jiu, better it would be. He physically, mentally and emotionally tortured a literal child ( a child who was filial, sweet, kind, loving, trusting, forgiving) for YEARS where as a shizun and a person in power it would have been his job to protect his disciple. All because of his envy??? Sigh . Who made a sect master ?? He was not in any way worthy .

    1. Silver Marie Brodit

      Super late reply but this is my first time to read this novel and I think, maybe 7th Brother is Yue-shixiong? And he’s lenient with SQQ because he’s the reason Jiu was bought and abused

  2. “He kneeled dumbly in place, not even blinking.

    Soundlessly, two teardrops rolled down his cheeks.”

    Omg my poor baby… I started crying at this part!

  3. Damn, that feels like a slap in the face to get the same name as the terrible family who beat and tortured you. What a way to be reminded for life.

  4. I wonder what would happen if LBH would end up in Bai Zhan peak. I say, he couldn’t even thrown in the endless hell. LQG doesn’t spoil someone, but he wouldn’t harass LBH
    in a million years. And LBH would feel gratitude toward him. And… I let your imagination fill the plot ;)))

  5. Omygod shen jiu had a great backstory, if aeroplane could write it all, he’d be a fantastic villain. That incorporeal hug was so painfully precious ;;;

  6. Reaching out his arms, he held Luo Binghe’s oh-so-tiny body tightly in his incorporeal embrace.
    -Don’t worry Shizun, you will have a plenty of time hugging (for real) the chibi Binghe in the future. :glee:

    How old is Binghe again when he entered Cang Qiong Mountain?

    Shen Yuan adored, pampered, and spoiled Luo Binghe. Always give in to Binghe’s request/demands. He doesn’t like it at first but he’s always gonna enjoy it later. After all, Luo Binghe’s TEARS is a HARD LIMIT to him. He just can’t bear a crying maiden luo, it feels like dying. It’s really his weakness. The Holy Mausoleum arc is really what unleash his romantic feelings for him. I mean, the dude even before he transmigrated is a Binghe hardcore fan. Always criticizing other characters except the stallion protagonist

  7. Finally! A nod is enough to show SQQ’s slightly romantic side. You wanna comfort little baby boy ice ice bing bing but couldn’t do it, you can only watch unable to do anything. Poor little ice ice bing bing. That’s why I love you cause I wanna shower you with love and tender loving care. Eldest Bro of Wei WuXian and Hua Cheng, just hang in there and everything will be alright. Can’t stop crying

    1. Can someone explain me the scene where SJ wakes up and finds YQ beside him! He said he found it familiar right? Bt wht about LBH kissing and cuddling him..Is he still in the dream or finally came back to reality?

    2. @nauimagicshop: i believe he woke up in his room which is also the same room he woke up to when he went into the novel. when lbh kissed and cuddled him, i believe it was in reality!

  8. So SQQ Just chose LBH to Snatch him from LQG? All the troubles you could have avoid If you didn’t chose him.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  9. Lol. Isn’t it amazing how much LQG loves SQQ now compared to how they were in the past when it was actually SJ. All those years of fighting LBH for the body, all those times he acted as his flying taxi or came to his defense.

    (And always finding his fan)

    *lowkey ships them*

    Thanks for the translation!

    1. Miyamura Yamada

      Wha? Today?? I thought it was every monday??? Ugh!! But im out now T•T

  10. AHHHHCHDJSJWHAHJD IM CRYING I CANT STOP CRYING
    POOR BINGHE
    SHIZUN
    YOURE SO COOL
    BINGHE
    AHHHHHHH
    THANK YOU
    FOR THE TRANSLATION ;-;

  11. “Shizun, why don’t you guess?” I would’ve said “Is that you Liu shidi?” I would’ve loved to see our Bingmei’s reaction to that 😛

    “I said I’d come to get you. We haven’t seen each other for so many days—did Shizun miss me?”

    Now this is a flag you raised all on your own SQQ when a dog has been slapped down so many times for doing something then suddenly the slaps stop coming… what do you think that dog will do?

    A. Help himself
    B. Act like he got slapped
    C. Jump all over Shizun like a Hooker on a rich dude…

    Since when did you get so Rich Shizun? lol but then again… how sweet is SQQ? how sweet is YQ? how sweet is LB? this amount of diabetes is bad for you!

    The amount of Fujoshi screams that will echo after this cliffy is deafening…

    Gay4u – Wails in anger… gnashing teeth in fury…

    “Gdammit what happens next!” punches cushion, throws phone gently at the softest part of the bed, “What kind of reaction was that! are you begging for your chysanthenum to be plunged?!”

    Bendovanao – Kicks desk, wobbling about painfully shaking her fist in anger…

    “Fuck! just what kind of ending is that! LB will totally jump Shizun!!! DON’T END THE CHAPTER THERE!!!?”

    Fkboish@rd – Omg omg omg omg… omg omg omg … omg omg omg… clicks next in desperation…

    1. Miyamura Yamada

      Oh, you should add
      Ranting to a boyfriend who knows shit about this all day long till they got sick of it and do it again the next day only stopping when he finally snapped and stuff ur mouth with lotsa friggin coffeeflavored candy *blergh*

    2. Make him buy something you like to bribe you to stop.

      “If only I had some Belgian Chocolate! I would totally shut up!” Then as soon as you receive your offerings… start ranting again 😛

  12. The second half of this chapter was so pure, oh my gosh… I could feel my heart shattering when SQQ was wiping little Binghe’s tears, telling him not to cry, hugging him… but ugh, that ending was the critical hit!!! ╥w╥

    SO CUTE AAAH?!?!?!!

    Thank you for the chapter!! 😉

    1. Same here, I do believe it marks a turning point where he starts to accept Binghes’ feelings for him. That would be a wonderful final hack; to rearrange the original cheesy stallion novel.

  13. That pixelated reveal aaarghh wtf MXTX!! XD XD

    Please note that in the dream Shizun tried to:
    – pat lil Binghe’s head 😀
    – protect lil Binghe from Shen Jiu by blocking him :0
    – wipe his tears and tell lil Binghe that shizun will never hit him again D’:
    – embrace lil Binghe when he cries T____T

    This chapter hurts so much but the ending is sweet as hell!!!! I think when Shizun was thinking to kick LBH from the chair he remembered saying he’d never hurt him again so just let him do whatever he wanted lmao 😀 thank you translators!!!

  14. Binghe is definitely gonna cry after that. I loved how SQQ tried to protect binghe in his dream.

    Thanks for this chapter!

  15. Little luo binghe buried his own mother?!? This boy just couldn’t get a break could he? Its amazing he didn’t become as twisted as Shen jiu early on

  16. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry after reading the first few paragraph 😅 I mean I’ve really been waiting for the “7th brother revelation” – if that’s YQY or not – and it turns out that the face is still hidden 😅😅 MXTX really likes to tease the readers 🤣🤣

    The last few paragraphs are so nice and warm. I hope we’ll continue to get the fluffs in the next chapter 😁

  17. WARNING. DANGER. CUTENESS LEVELS OVER 9000! TSUNDERE AFFECT COMPROMISED. LETTING GUARD DOWN AROUND LUO BINGHE IS DANGEROUS. WARNING WARNING!

    Oh crap. The end of this chapter is like a gourmet feast of adorable SQQ. In one sentence of trembling and nodding I think I lived a thousand lives and tiny angels are singing. If Lou Binghe walks away from this, then he’s been taken over by ALIENS.

    Thank you so much for the translation!! I can’t wait until the 5th!

  18. GOT7-IGOT7-Jacky

    No poor baby Binghe don’t cry okay? Don’t cry please, Shizun even said he won’t do anything to hurt you anymore 😭😭

    Those flirting moments at the end though. Shizun trembling and nodding in Bingmei’s arms yes yes yesss

  19. Can someone PLEASE let me know if Binghe heard Shizun cry his name? PLS, i need to know ;_;

    Many thanks for this chapter..

  20. “..walking over to Luo Binghe step by step. Shen Qingqiu subconsciously blocked him, but how could he stop him?

    Luo Binghe lifted his face and looked at the Qing Jing Peak Lord walking towards him like he was beholding a god.”

    Aaah I have so many emotions right now

  21. DAMN! I WAITED 2 WEEKS FOR A FRIGGIN MOSAIC ! ! !

    Aah… nooo.. my heart is softening for shen jiu & binghe ( T▪T )

    SHIZUN BEING LIKE THIS HOW WOULD BINGHE REACT ! ?

    1. How will LBH react? Hmm, something along the lines of “Give him an inch and he’ll take a mile”, ne?

  22. A chapter that starts in angst and ends in fluff – so sweet it can give you cavities! And SQQ is so obedient here – fluttering his eyelashes and not saying a word after LBH tells him to be quiet! I’m officially dying of cuteness (or laughter, ’cause SQQ’s inner monologue is just hilarious).

    P.S. Bingmei, you keep your hands to yourself for the time being! You have a world to save, remember? So the two of you had better get down to some serious discussions ASAP.
    P.P.S. On second thought… a nice reunion scene, keep up the good work! XDDDD

    1. No no no this chapter start with me screaming in frustration bcuz of the damn mosaic

    1. It seems to be some sort of “-sama” like suffix.

      Liu-sama = Liu-juju

      Something like that!

  23. Binghe my sweet child I’m so sorry. Yue Qingyuan you knew shen jiu would abuse that poor child and you still gave him to him??? I’m gonna lose it

    1. The sect master seems to be the “eternal optimist” type and perhaps he hoped SQQ would be okay with this disciple. OriginalSQQ didn’t abuse ALL his disciples, after all – he was pretty fond of Ning Yingying and seemed to treat Ming Fan alright.

    2. Because Qingyuan blames himself for Shen Jiu becoming like this. Jiu kept waiting for 7th brother to come and save him but he never went to find Jiu(well he couldn’t and can’t blame him). And Jiu got mixed with that real scum(that elder)! This Luo Binghe was a baby. Shen Jiu was also a child when he had to endure all those tortures for years and then he performed a massacre like he was possessed by the Evil himself! When a kid grows up, environment is what affects them the most. This Luo Binghe in the original novel also grew up a lot like Shen Jiu(there are more revealing in extra chapters). A sweet facade while terminating his smallest enemy! So in the gay one, we see how Shen Yuan as the Shizun treats Luo Binghe with the softest care and Binghe actually grows up to be a puppy(well only to him).

    3. Yeah, it’s sweet how Shen Jiu was kind to Yingying and she obviously adored him. Then comes the darkened LBH and kills her master, burns down the peak, basically destroys all her precious memories. And in the end she becomes one of his ‘wives’… Where is the logic? Stockholm Syndrome?

    4. Yue Qingyuan needs to separate his ‘guilt’ from his ‘duties’ as sect master. YQY is no fool he knew what was going to happen, and even after he still didn’t try to help. He was not able to save shen jiu but he could have saved this child. Just once when it came to SJ I want him to put his foot down and say “Enough”.
      *sigh* still I know he is not completely at fault.

      I suddenly understand bingge a bit more tho, even after all the abuse he went through as a child he still had a ray of hope. it wasn’t until the actions of these ‘righteous’ cultivators..people that should have known better..

      I’m just happy that shen yuan was able to break this toxic cycle

    5. @ Kayo IRI ah but yingying did notice the unfair treatment early on. Shen jiu had a thing for his sweet female disciples sooo she probably turned on him after he tried to “do” something yikes

  24. It just strikes me how much LBH cries in the novel after deciding not to do it. SY really allowed him to heal in the years they spent together.
    And then tossed him in the abyss. 🙃

    1. LBH only acted like a crybaby in front of his Shizun as far as I remember. In front of the others he was rather cold. He was manipulative, for example when he tried to be friendly with Liu Ming Yan to stir her away from Shizun because he was jealous of her. We saw him cute and doting because we mostly read the story from SQQ’s POV.

    2. LBH was sneaky as every child is but he only learned to manipulate after the abyss..something he probably learned while staying with that nasty old man

  25. Akatsuki no yona

    “He closed his eyes and nodded.”
    Shizun u trying to kill your doggie!!??? Cute!! So cute!! He is trembling and nodding!! Telling his puppy that he missed him!!AHHH….♥♥♥ that is gonna get critical hit from this!!!!!!

    NEXT CHAPTER : Will shizun survive!!!???⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

    Can’t wait for the next chp (♥ω♥ ) ~♪

  26. ahh, SQQ trying to block the tea for LBH actually made me tear up a bit

    SQQ is actually so sweet to LBH. From the very beginning and even until now, even knowing that the protagonist can’t be fatally wounded, he subconsciously took every stab, every hit, every punch going towards LBH that he could, even when he physically couldn’t actually do anything…

    Seriously, Shizun is so good to his favorite disciple, it would have been stranger if LBH didn’t fall in love with him, haha

    Thank you for this chapter!!

    1. Yes, so true! Everyone in the sect noticed that Shizun is a super doting master to his sticky disciple.

  27. Shen Jiu’s childhood was miserable. Waited for someone who never came back… Not even at least when he needed somebody the most. So that was how the original Shen Qingqiu became like that. *sad sigh* (T⌓T)

    I’m still melancholic about the backstory but it was nice that there was a romantic development.

    Yay for eyelash kisses~

    Thanks for the update! ♡

  28. Thanks for the chapter! The feels really punched us in the gut this chapter, didn’t it? i wonder how much of the memories contributed to his reactions when he was asleep, After all he did just go through the punishment in the dreamscape.

  29. sqq’s reaction to sj’s treatment of lbh made me cry? he’s grown to care so much for this kid i can’t handle this, they’re finally getting some proper development. ‘don’t cry shizun won’t ever hit you again’ HHFHGHGHHFGHSHSF OH BIG HURTY
    thank you for the hard work!

  30. Thank you so much for translating! I always look forward to a new chapter🥰and lol that little romantic scene is so cute at the end😏since YQY said SQQ had been crying and calling out LBH’s name, and as soon as YQY leaves the room, that means LBH was there listening that his Shizun really did miss him and he was crying!😭🥰aww Shen Jiu’s backstory is sad, but that doesn’t mean he has to treat little LBH like that! Little LBH is the cutest!

  31. the random spanish comment

    el ultimo desarrollo romántico ha sido lo mas hermoso que han leído mis ojos en estos días!

  32. “slapped the System notification window like how he tried to “fix” bad signal or bad connection on the TV when it was little” ahahaha i cannot 😂😂 im wheezing, sqq pls 😂😂

  33. SJ was such a complex character. I pity him, but at the same time his actions were deplorable. Airplane Bro missed out on such an interesting fellow. Although it wouldn’t probably have suited his novel, judging by the previous random side story hahaha!

    Thanks for the great translation.
