Reika’s Notes:

  • We all know that the next chapter will be the “research” chapter, right? That is a book extra so I’m thinking of calling it chapter 84.1 since chapter 85 in the online version is a different extra.
  • Bing-ge is better at papapa than our Bing-mei, it’s canon… but his Shizun is quite willing to help him get better at it. 🙂
  • Please let me know if there are any errors. Thanks for reading.

108 thoughts on “Chapter 84 – The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System”

  1. One of the signature writing of this author is to let characters with unresolve pains. Jiang Cheng for example in MDZS. He is just let without any real kind of closure about his relation with WWX till the end.
    Here we have so many more like Tianlang-Jun (what happen with his relation with his own son after all of this, he lost his nephew and has absolutly no one to relay on emotionaly after all that he has been through); Then you have Yue Qingyuan, this man is just pityful beyond word and the author didn’t give him the consolation to be called Qi-ge by SQQ who yet respects him so much and have all the reason to considered him as a sort of brother in this universe. I still don’t comprehend the the argument used by SQQ for refusing to acknoledge him as such when he has already change so many think in the novel.
    Then the original good (LBH). Why insert him agai in this version if it’s to let him more hurt by having to compare his experience with the him from an alternate universe; WHY? Why create new area of resentment, of jealousy, of despair in this character. Now even if the Xin Mo is destroy he will always have to know that his own reality his devoyed of true warm because he has seen what real warm look like.
    I really like this author but the way she never go full circle to give closure to second and very important characters annoy me…please don’t kill me…it’s just my feelings as an avid reader of her.

    1. ngl i kinda agree with you
      but that’s the wonderfulness of tragic backstories~

    2. For YQY i feel like what SQQ/SY did is already good. Since he isn’t the og!SQQ giving YQY that consolation would be like imposing on og!SQQ and YQY’s relationship.
      The way i look at it, SY sticking with ‘shixiong’ not ‘Qi-ge’ is him forgiving YQY already but also saying let the past stay in the past (cause i’m not your xiao jiu). So technically YQY sorta got his forgiveness although not the best one. Idk if this makes sense…

    3. I kinda understand why SQQ don’t want to call him Qi-ge, he didn’t felt the suffering of Shen Jiu, for him, he’s just a spectator who doesn’t have the authority to call him Qi-ge

    4. Maan I kind of agree, and I understand the sentiment, but as a fellow writer, it’s just so much fun! I write a lot of characters like that myself. It’s just…..fun. Tragedies are fun to write, and the more crushing the better.

    5. I feel like this is especially painful because SQQ should know this is the same sad and lonely Binghe and at least give some words of comfort. Like he’s falling into the same trap of putting BingHe into the protagonist original protagonist roll yet again! Learn from your mistake! But also it’s somewhat unavoidable because his “BingMei” would probably go mad with jealousy.

  2. Yo who else is a little annoyed that “Bing-ge” doesn’t get any actual closure? Like he meets SQQ from a parallel universe, wonders why the heck he’s fine and dandy, jumps into their world and finds everything is unfairly different. Can we get a Bing-ge POV of maybe him wallowing in regret or self hate cuz he misunderstood his SQQ? Honestly would like to know why the real/actual SQQ pushed Bing-ge down the abyss too.

    1. Actually, there’s a fanfic about that and I had just read it. The main there is Bingge and Shen Jiu (original SQQ). You’ll see the depths of their story and both of them will come to understand each other.

      Title is “How to Train Your Shen Qingqiu” (idk why i find the tile hilarious LOL). It’s a great one.

    2. Yeah i would love to see some closure for Bingge too 🙁 like idk some POV of his or something canon. (Thats why i just cant stop reading fanfics ’bout this over and over aAaAahhh)

  3. It breaks my heart that the Bing-ge never got to experience this Shen Qingqiu and instead turned into this black hearted stallion protagonist. Because of this, he prbly never got to know what love actually feels like and had 3000 harem girls to make up for that feeling (quantity > quality). makes me wonder if things would’ve turned out differently for him if circumstances were changed 🥺😭

    1. Martina Bušovská

      “makes me wonder if things would’ve turned out differently for him if circumstances were changed”….I mean, that’s exactly what this novel is about 😅

  4. Ah!I really want a chapter with SQQ going to origina LBH world where he thinks he is still in same world and treat original LBH kindly(or else to see how original LBH would treat him) while his LBH comes and save him after a while.

  5. Ugh I just can’t get past these extra chapters. I feel so sorry for Bing-ge the perfect ending would have been for him to just stay in this world wouldn’t that make everyone happy. Bing-ge who only wished for someone to love him even in the very end he still get left alone. If they stayed together all 3 he would get to know what love is and just by these small gestures from SQQ he already started to change. And the other binghe could learn how to control his sword as well as how to not fail in bed and just think about all the hot 3some they could have together ugh.

    1. Thats really the best ending possible. Tbh, I want it too.
      But don’t worry. Bingge already know love from his 3000 harem. 🙂

    1. Right??? I cannot believe it. Like, the potential is great and the idea is Right There, pls, I need more of this content in my life…!

  6. No matter how many times i reread this extra, i still felt pity for Bingge. He was just misled and influenced by his surroundings. 😢😢😢😢

  7. I am back here for the third time just to re-read this extra (The bing-ge and Bing-mei showdown, and the chap after that :))

  8. Even though Shen Qingqiu was roasting him, Shen Qingqiu was still very comforted to see this Luo Binghe clinging on to him with a face full of anxiety. This was how it should be!

    OMG SHIZUN😂😂 ARE YOU A MASOCHIST OR A SADIST

    and AWWW they gonna do a research tgt 😍

    1. Binghe just needed the push. And Shizun actually told him they would research together😂😆😍

  9. Why is Bing-ge so jelly? To him Shizun was a bad guy who tormented him and then pushed him into the abyss.

    He has 3k women and yet it’s Shizun he fights over, Shizun he practically begs to come with him, Shizun he used the sword to find and his dream abilities to understand the situation, and Shizun who wants more than anything?

    Does this mean that LBH was always attracted to SQQ? Why else would he care do much? Unless it was a love turned to hate? And now he wants this Shizun to be happy with?

    1. I think it’s because Bing-ge clearly sees how doted on Bing-mei is by Shizun. He thinks it’s unfair how he had to see such a sight when the Shizun he knows is cold-hearted and very mean to him. He’s jealous because, if he had the same Shizun as Bing-mei has, he wouldn’t have had to go through all that pain as a young disciple.

    2. I think even in the original version, Luo Binghe thoroughly admired Shen Qingqiu in the beginning but slowly when SQQ’s scummy side was revealed to him more and more it crushed all of his admiration and ofc you know what happened later.

      So now that Shen Yuan was transmigrated into SQQ, ofc all of the scummy sides to the og character was removed and even though LBH felt he was initially treated unkindly by the person he admired, SQQ’s later thoroughly doting behavior made him slowly harbour feelings for him. At least, that’s what I think 😅

  10. Swarnaparni Biswas

    “Instead of returning earlier or later, you had to return just in time”…

    Kinda reminds me what Wei Wuxian told Lang Wangji in MDZS

  11. so… the one who sleep with shen qingqiu and the one who shen qingqiu transfer spiritual power is ‘original bing he’ and not the ‘cry baby bing he’???? im upset, SOMEONE PLS TELL ME!

    1. No, he slept with his crybaby LBH. That’s why he said he was so terrible, and even mentioned in the previous chapter that they had been intimate one time before but now his LBH seemed to avoid that. All original LBH meant was when he was kissing and feeling him up he knew his experience in that department was much better.

  12. the original bing-he deserves a happy ending too, im so sad 🙁 i got so upset i had to comment bc i feel that there needs to be justice for original bing-he too!!!

    1. It’s unfortunate that’s for sure, but I fear even if Shen Qingqiu left with him, he may never get over the hatred his Shizun caused him. Sooner or later, he’d hurt Shen Yuan instead, maybe even kill him because he’s so steeped in resentment

  13. Ughhhhh I feel so sad for Bing ge, to think that he would see an alternate future that he wasn’t able to get, and the fact that he has to go back to a harem that’s full of batshit crazy bishes who keeps on plotting each other’s death, whose main goal seems to be to just add to Bing ge’s misery by causing the miscarriages of the other harem members. *Sigh* all of this after being beaten and rejected by Shen Qingqiu (ಥ﹏ಥ) *Deep sigh* I’m sorry for thy loss original Lou Binghe, may you find true happiness just like Bing mei did.

    1. the idea of any lbh without sqq pains me deeply so from now on im going to pretend:

      -the author traveled to modern days and change the original story

      -bingge travels back in time on his own and change shen jiu life and then changing his own (he has caring sqq growing up too)

      -bingge creates his own sqq clone using sqq kindness but fitting bingge needs (like when sqq was brushing lbh hair, he was fine until sqq hit him on the head, with all his traumas bingge needs a very patient and caring sqq) with one of the things on that museum (forgot the name) there must be something!

      I personally like the last one the most, it give me angst / comfort with bingge dealing with his traumas, the harem reaction to bingge having another superior lover and sqq shenanigans in the harem too. Now I need a fic

  14. I have this head cannon where now that Bing-ge is aware of shizun existance and has invaded his dreams twice, he manages to sneak in and have I don’t know, tea parties or whatever, while carefully mimicking Bing-mei, just so that he can feel shizun’s pure love. He’s probably much more skilled with the dream demon’s skills afterall.
    But all this just makes him more sad when he wakes up.

  15. I feel bad for Original but no I can’t allow SQQ go with him. Our little black sheep has been suffering so much. He can’t hate his Shizun who tried to kill him. He still love his Shizun even thinking SQQ hates him. His suffering is much more than the original LBH. Original LBH only has hates for SQQ. He also has many wives who love him. Our little LBH was loved for like 4 years (at least he thought so) and the rest of his life was tough. Original LBH happened to come when everything between two lovers are settle down. Then he envy. Nope I can’t give SQQ to him. Our little BingMei deserves his master after going through everything.

  16. Sigh, if ever Bing-ge had a little more time with SQQ could he have softened or warmed a bit? He already started to become jealous of Bing-mei. Ah just the way he bit his lip when he turned back, the words “Come with me.”

    Sigh but he is the black hearted protagonist of the stallion novel, the cruelty would still be there. SQQ would have a hard time trying to tame a Bing-ge than trying to appease a sulking Bing-mei…

  17. aaaw…I feel bad for Bing-Ge though. oooh~ there’s two extras on the ‘practice’ chapter? huhuhu~ so excited to indulge them soon.

    1. @Reika Omg so many of us were waiting. I kept coming back here and refreshing the page, I didn’t know sorry Dx

  18. BingMei is so cool! it’s not often we get to see him go all out and with his bare hands too, damn ♡

    Welp Bingge life isn’t fair you can’t have it all.. although im sure he has never gone thru heartbreak quite like Bingmei..he knows what it feels like now, at least a little bit.

    But hey he has that sword maybe he can find his own kind Shizun out there somewhere~

    1. Wow I like your idea of him finding his own shizun from another dimension 🙂 but it’s probably very hard bcz of the original sqq will be an as**ole in all universes.

  19. I feel sorry for Bing-ge, because he is essentially the Binghe we know with no Shen Qinqiu, so I wished this could’ve worked out with the two Binghes integrating or something, since they are the same person, seeing as they’re both Shizun-obsessed idiots

  20. i feel bad for bing-ge but i’m sorry kid i’m all for cinnamon roll bing-mei!! 😁😁

    thank you gor translating! ☺💕

  21. QAQ I feel so, so bad for Bing-Ge. It’d be cool if there was a chapter(s) on how Bing-Ge did after returning to his universe. I mean, it’d be really heartbreaking, but still intriguing nonetheless. Would he disband his harem? Think of coming back to steal this Shen Qingqiu from Bing-Mei? (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
    Also, how many more extras are there? I know about those super secret extras already, but how many more extras like this Bing-Ge VS. Bing-Mei are going to be uploaded?

    1. Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that I wonder how Bing-Mei did during the time he was in the other universe.

    2. If you’re asking about Bing-ge, this is the last extra with him in it, afaik.

  22. Whaaa That fight was intense. Bingge was well rested and had shizun to help heal his injuries all night. However our Bingmei was probably still hurt and exhausted running around in the other world without rest. I guess Bingge was lucky in that regard otherwise he would have been completely thrashed

  23. Bing-ge made it seem like he was gonna come back and take revenge. I wouldn’t mind a 3p for a chapter lol

  24. So fans of the original novel were correct. Binghe felt no love for his harem and perhaps most of them don’t really care about him either and are mostly just attracted to his power and good looks

  25. Bingge just want to have a kind shizun on his own… I feel sorry for him, he hates the world so much… Actually, i’d like if he comes back, but willing to change behavior… Ya’ll know?
    Bingge kissing shizun the past chapter and being good at it… Haha poor Shen Qingqiu… But he’ll help Bingmei getting better too 😊
    I’m looking foward next chapter!! Thanks for the update!!

  26. – He bit down on his lip hard when he looked back.

    He could not take this lying down.

    It seems like he is not willing to give up

  27. Ohhhh, I feel seriously Bad for the original LBH. He Just needs someone to love and that loves him back. An equal. All that bunch of women are not What he needs. 3000 women are not as good as 1 Shizun. They said in other chapter that many of his wives were mentioned one time and then he forgot all about them. So, they’re one night stand.

    The original LBH met this Shizun and realized Bing-mei and SQQ’s bond is much more complex and deep than anything he’s had in his entire life. That’s why he wanted to take SQQ with him. He knew he could fill the void inside him the 3000 women couldn’t.

    Poor LBH. He also needs love. I must read some fic to heal my heart. Suggestions?

    Thanks for the chapter!

    1. @KUQ KU hmm he wants a kind and caring shizun like shen yuan not a petty scum villain :'(

    2. well, there is a fanfic called “How to Train Your Shen Qing Qiu” and it pretty much filled in quite a lot of plotholes and gave us a good ending for all the characters

  28. “This was unfair.

    The image of those two men standing together was so dazzling that his eyes hurt and the rims of his eyes burned.”

    They were obviously both “Luo Binghe.” On what grounds would the other one get to encounter this kind of Shen Qingqiu, and yet he himself had to encounter the narrow-minded, jealous, and shameless version?

    On what grounds?! ”

    No it really isn’t fair

  29. Akatsuki No Yona

    This fluffy sheep is actually ba-paa pa black sheep!!!XD

    Bing ge’s story is really heartbreaking for some reason!!!!!!(ㄒoㄒ)/♥♥♥ poor baby had to go through so much n now he sees someone (bing mei) just like him being so happy with the person who didn’t treated him well but is treating bing mei with so much love n affection!!!!but he doesn’t know that sqq is not sqq but is shizun!!!!! I think bing ge has already killed sqq in that parallel world n can never ……… pa pa pa him…….?

    Σ( ° △ °) huh?

  30. I’m wow ok this chapter really came for my life *cries* its obvious bing-ge never saw himself as a person who is lacking in anything, until now

  31. Amazing!! I have so many feelings! I’m sorry Bingge but I’m so happy for our couple, they went through so much and they deserve all the happiness. I’m just sad you couldn’t do the same

    also lul Bingmei just snapping his bones back like its nothing, he is so ready
    \(^q^)/

    1. CannonFodderLover

      “Now there’s the What if? So many what if? …”

      “Come with me.”

      It feels like even the Original LBH has always been attracted to SQQ and now it really makes me wonder of his revenge…why he still keeps SQQ alive for too long ? Maybe its for his revenge but …now it feels like he cant stand SQQ leaving him in the end.. It really hurts how to see the original LBH without his Shizun. Still, Shen Jiu has his own demons…surely he is Scum but he isn’t that black hearted enough..

      Ah, I just want them to be happy too.

      But fate is cruel, if they could turn back their time~~ this is one of my saddest ship ~~

      It making me cry for SJ and original LBH

  32. It’s too late for reparations, but I do feel sad for Bing-ge. He didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. But, hopefully, he can perhaps try to make a deeper connection with someone. Maybe a more caring among his harem.

    And hopefully put SJ out of his misery.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  33. At first I regreted that I was soft on him thinking he was just like a kid in the first chapter, and then I thought he was an asshole. Now my heart is soft again (ಥ﹏ಥ)

  34. Thank you Reika and team for the translation!

    On the other hand, this whole chapter was a rolercoaster of emotions. I feel so bad for original Binghe but i can’t help laughing my ass off of Shen Qinqiu’s roasting sessions.

  35. Current experience of BingGE : 3000 beauties x (times of “PAPAPA”) done by BingGE.
    Current experience of BingMEI: 1/32 of BingGE’s

    So all the PAPAPA done to the 3000 beauties of BingGE must be done by a LONE Shizun. For his binghe to have the same experience as BingGE.
    ….how many beds will be sacrificed? Should I dig a grave for Shizun’s Bones, joints, and soul? WAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

    THANK YOU FOR THE CHAPPIE!!

    1. “As a true-blue homo who was suddenly thrown amidst a harem of three thousand beauties, this child must have really been shaken to the core.”

      lol this was so funny to me. imagine 3000 women wanting to fck a gay man who is clearly disgusted.

  36. I was happy and sad at the same time.. happy because BING-MEI arrived.. our one and only Maiden Luo is back but sad for our Bing-ge.. I think deep down he really wanted his orig! ver of SQQ become like our SQQ/the SQQ who’s in the BL channel.. It’s just sad.. poor Bing-ge.. but SQQ/SJ is only for our Maiden Luo soooo :3

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  37. Thanks for the chapter. Bing Ge is jealous having only received SQQ harsh treatment and seeing Bing Mei receiving all attention and care.

  38. Thank you for the chapter! I feel sorry for Bingge, it reminds me of a fic I’ve read some time ago, how he wishes for a shizun like this…
    I was shocked when shizun said they hadn’t done anything since the maigu ridge events, could’ve swore that Bingmei wouldn’t know how to keep his hands off SQQ haha but now we’ll get more action!
    Loved it as always

    1. Yeah Sqq said previously even tho they were physically close, our bingmei never tried to take things further whether out of shyness or something else :’>

  39. Bingge is quite pitiful in this chapter, but what I want to say is

    ‘A group of youths and young maidens in green then ran towards the bottom of Qing Jing Peak, following after one another in a row like a train.’

    HAHAHAHAHA
    Shizun making them run lap again
    Remind me of the good old day at the beginning of the novel….

  40. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS!! 💜

    I feel kinda bad for the original LBH, I can imagine the bitterness that he felt once he saw the carefully preseved room for SQQ’s LBH.

  41. Ahhh my day just got better! Though it was kind of heartbreaking, I feel sorry for Bing-ge, no wonder he wished for different shizun. Glad nothing horrible happened to either of them, thanks for the chapter!

  42. When you try to coax a partner who is not good in bed. Lol! How thoughtful of Shizun. Now, onwards with the research. XD

    On the other hand, the original LBH did hope for a better version of shizun. Pitiful indeed.

    1. I can think of LBH secretly taking down notes after the research. 😂

      Entry 15: “Shizun likes it when I do this…..”

      Entry 16: “Shizun will pat my head when I do this…”

      Entry 17: “Shizun shows an intense reaction when I do this to him…”

      etc. 😂😂😂

      _-_-_-_-_-_-_

      You know, I was imagining how would the original LBH feel or what would he do once he’s back in his world?

      There would be no bamboo house, no traces of SQQ.

      I wonder if he would stare in the unknown and think: “If I had the different SQQ in my life, will it be better too?” or “If someone cared for me like SQQ, will I now be on a different path?”

      … something like that.

      Ahhhhh! Too much possible scenarios hahaha

  43. Yeah, well BingGe is quite pitiful, but of course, there’s no way SQQ will be willing to go with him.
    He’s doting on BingMei too much.
    Anyways, can’t wait to read Chapter 85.
    Hahaha..
    I wonder how their research would be
    #insertnosebleed

    1. 《He clearly only wanted to humiliate them. He clearly disdained the nauseating relationship between both of them.

      And yet, he could not help but blurt out to Shen Qingqiu, “Come with me.”》

      《He bit down on his lip hard when he looked back.

      He could not take this lying down.

      The rift disappeared with his figure.》

      — these right here, tells me everything about the OG Luo Binghe. He has everything he ever wanted in his own world, women, kingdom, immeasurable power, prowess and even exacted his revenge to his own Shizun. HOWEVER, why bother looking for this Shen Qingqui that he only met once? Why bother at all??

      My heart aches to OG Luo more than anyone in this story bc deep inside, he was just a simple man *just like our binghe* who longed for true affection and acceptance from his own sect and his Shizun but was forced to follow the dark path bc he can count to no one but himself.

      Now, he sees a version if him that’s well taken care of and receives aboundant support and affection by the same Shizun that’s 100× better than what he had. The unfairness and agonizing fact laid in front of him, he can never accept it.

      He even asked himself, why he got the ugly version of Shen when they’re practically the same Luo Binghe. 💔 Even I as a reader, I can’t answer him without the need to explain the AU etc. I don’t think I’ll be able to move with this chapter anytime soon.

  44. He is kinda pitful, but on the other hand- i doubt that at least a few in his harem love him for who he is (or was) like Yingying…. at least i hope so…

  45. Aw man Bing Ge getting jealous of Bing Mei for having a kind Shizun qeq Also can’t wait for the next chapter! Thanks for the translation ♡♡
