Reika’s Notes:
- This chapter is by Yan.
- Some people have been complaining about “missing parts.” There are no missing parts. We use the latest official text from JJWXC. The author changed some parts but mostly only moved things around. For example, what used to be the last part of a chapter could be in the next chapter in the newly edited version. There’s nothing missing.
- Who is this mysterious person who gave his blood to Shen Qingqiu?
- At last Luo Binghe took the opportunity to show his remorse apologize and explain himself. What do you think? Are you satisfied with his apology?
- Thank you for reading!
communicate pls, im losing my mind because of you both 🤕
aaaaahhh I really want Luo Binghe to know what his Shizun is actually back!! argghh I’m going to die of the anxiety!
Ouchies. These two need to talk 😬
the poetic last part just melted my heart AAAHhhhh D:
Wait..what?!
So who was organizing SQQ’s downfall? Who rescued him? And why?
“His eyes were extremely limpid, overlapping and reflecting Shen Qingqiu’s figure and the clear, shining moonlight like dew”
Why am I having flashbacks of a certain snake like creature who also got it’s hands on one of those magic seeds SQQ had? o -o)!!
Aaaaaaah I knew it reminded me of smth…. But I thought before of Yang Yixian, the cute boy Liu Qingge took as disciple after that plague event.(and so it would’ve been a master/disciple plan haha) But I don’t think Yyx would be strong enough to break the protection barrier outside the Palace. So i thought it could very logically be Airplane since he knows his universe well…. But even if Shang Qinghua (?) went to the demon side….he could not just *become* a demon right?
(and this human snake seemed really curious indeed….lake water or not, his eyes really did seem lively)
I’m just so happy things are out in the open so SQQ now knows the truth. This seems like a one-sided love and I keep waiting for SQQ to return LBH’s romantic feelings so I wonder when that will happen. I wonder how LBH preserved SQQ’s body and now that he doesn’t have it anymore if it will rot away…and how LBH will react to that. Okay on to the next chap.
If Luo Binghe loves him, then it is definitely unhealthy love. I even have a feeling that it’s obsession, and a toxic one at that. Because you don’t hurt people you love.
Right? This actually scares me. I parat and hope that if by the end they get together they establish a more healthy relationship.
Not at all satisfied! I wanna take of LBH’s pants and spank him till he’s red!!
Thank you for the chapter
> At last Luo Binghe took the opportunity to show his remorse apologize and explain himself. What do you think? Are you satisfied with his apology?
NOPE. No. Isn’t this in the dream realm? It’s not the same. Like a few moments ago he was torturing SQQ even though he didn’t know who he was. Argh. The situation is so messy. I just want the misunderstandings to stop.
SQQ is annoying for not being straightforward and playing around with LBH feelings while giving all sorts of excuses. I pity LBH.
Here we go with the “SQQ being annoying” again. He was obviously confused! He never expected that getting to the good side of LBH would make him sick gay for him. SQQ wasn’t a cut-sleeve in the first place that’s why he’s having a hard time accepting LBH’s feelings—but since he had grown a soft spot for him it has become a torture for him too. His mind is in turmoil so he obviously could just come up with excuses.
As for LBH, I really think his love is unhealthy. In fact, I doubt if it’s even love or obsession, maybe he’s just obsessed with the fact that SQQ was the only person who ever showed importance to his existence since he’s been ridiculed with his whole life!
Right! You pity LBH..me too but think about it. We know that SQQ is initially not in love with him. He is just putting an effort due to their previous relationship.
Just because we know that he is protagonist, were supporting LBH..if he’re a villain the situation will be different.
So..for love to grow between them and for character development , this plot is necessary.
Noo !! I’m not satisfied !!! Luo Binghe ! Don’t force yourself to someone in that way !!!! It’s so unhealthy !!!!!!!!! and PLease get rid of your torture blood on your shizun ! It’s so Painful ! AND that new character……………. I’m sooo!!! Excited to know him!!
Ah… I feel bad for binghe’s subordinates…
I wonder how hualing or mo bei felt, to be outranked by a corpse…
Speaking of Mo Bei, did he and the author get together?? It would be nice to see airplane bro and hubby to the rescue!
Well, it’s either that or binghe’s dad, but I don’t see why he would even be there, let alone have the motivation to save SQQ
Thanks for the translation!
thank u. keep up the good work!
Hello, thank you for the chapter! Also, I have a question. I came across a post on Tumblr that said Scum Villain had been reported and taken down from the official site, at least for the moment. I was wondering whether you have copies of the chapters that you can translate, or will that be it unless it’s cleared and put back up again?
Thank you for another awesome chapter. Can’t wait to read more. XD
To the Translator a question…will there be LB povs of his 3 years before SQQ death and the 5 after his death?
Complicated feelings :/ I wonder how the author guides reader out of this stalemate. I feel for SQQ because he didn’t sign up for this lol – will he truly fall in love, or accept Luo just to appease him? Luo Binghe is super unstable omg
I’m on the same boat. He is straight to begin with. I almost choked on the part where he said that LBH tries to find him in order to do and not kill him, and both times he would still run away. I’m very curious to know how SQQ will reconcile his feelings towards LBH. Kudos for the update! Thank you very much! 🙂
Well … Luo was supposed to be the only ancient demon left, so the one who gave Shizun blood must be someone related to Luo’s blood. the only person they mentioned other than Luo who had the blood of the ancient demon was his father … so maybe it was Luo’s father who gave the blood to shizun …
Um I might be wrong, but could the person be Shang Qinghua giving him Mo Bei’s blood?? I feel like from the dialogue it couldn’t be Mo Bei, the man is too cold to say small things like ‘ah’ and apologies and such. But Shang Qinghua would have a reason to both save Shen Qingqi and heal him.
Anyways yeah I can’t wait for the next chapter! Thank you for the translation!!
The only one who can beat LBH is…? 😂😂😂😂😂 *Aomine of KnB reference 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆
I am gonna go with MBJ uncle and his minions as teh demon here
I’m gonna go with… *stops to not spoil 😂😂😂😂
@HARUKI NATSUYU Oh sorry i forgot about that. SInce Airplane Extras are listed on the site too
Thank you for the translation…
My guess is that the one who saved SQQ is the Dream Demon.
–Luo Binghe had opened a series of doors to a whole new world for him.
SQQ, even in a direction situation where you still feeling pain, you still thinking like a reader, what’s with the poetic thoughts.
Thanks for the chapter!!
I miss that time when SQQ and LBH talked with each other everyday in a kindly and lovely mode… SQQ are now scared of LBH, both by he being a demon and by being cut-sleeve… I am so anxious, will LBH ever discover his shizun is alive and he doesn’t need to go to the mausoleum? I want them to have lovely-fluffy scenes, I can’t handle anymore heartbreaking scenes 🤧😭😭
I’m so sad now 🤧🤧😭
Thanks again for the update!! I can’t wait for the next chapter, i’m so anxious!! I want to cry everytime LBH is mad at Shizun (without know that he is shizun)… Really, many thanks for the translation!!
I love your translation, and I appreciate it being translated so well and never being delayed …
BUT
I have a question:
Considering that you are using JJWXC to translate the novel (I also bought that version in Chinese), I know that all the sexual scenes have been censored or removed from the novel.
What will you do about it?
Will you also censor it or will you look for the scenes in other places?
If possible I would like to know.
Yeah…. The scenes are in [harmony] tag lmfao
. Which seems dumb tbh……But I indeed read them all by searching online in Chinese…. Though i don’t know Chinese at all….. Ajahsjsbajan!!!!!!
Binghe dear, I’m glad it seems you were only sleeping next to Shizun’s body rather than with it. Last chapter there was a moment where I went ‘Binghe wut. 😦 Binghe no!!! 😱’ I’m sooo glad that wasn’t it.
I’m stuck between crying and facepalming at the whole ‘attempting to give himself brain damage via murdering fragments of his own dreamscape’ 😭😥 Binghe stoooop!!!
Also:
“Underneath the moonlight, he couldn’t make out the other person’s features very clearly, but it was more or less the outline of someone with bright and delicate features. His eyes were extremely limpid, overlapping and reflecting Shen Qingqiu’s figure and the clear, shining moonlight like dew.”
Is the mysterious person the snake dude (?) from the cave with the body-growing flower?? I’m pretty sure he (?) had the same dew and moonlight theme/thingie going on. Maybe he (?)’s saving SQQ as thanks for sparing them (I give up with the pronoun, was the snake person’s gender actually given?) or for letting them have one of the flowers?
Thank you so much for the wonderful update!! I can’t I can’t this chapter almost made me laugh out loud on the bus BWAHAHAHAH
SQQ the Chicken Soup for the Soul big sister for Bingmei 😌
Looking forward to the next chapter!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH MOBEI JUN!! Finally!
So, that’s the story behind his scars. I honestly had no idea, and that makes it sadder 🙁
I’m still mad at what happened during Jinlan City. Shen Qingqiu was ridiculed in front of everyone, he was force fed Binghe’s blood, he was imprisoned, sigh. I miss Gongyi Xiao. Did they ever reveal who killed him? Because I want to stab them.
.
Thanks for the chapter!
Yes they doooo. You will know the real culprit of this novel sooooonn. Original SQQ!! WASN’T REALLY THE VILLAIN AT ALL LOL
yes, they reveal the killer just wait and see hehehe.
Thanks for the cchapte. I’m really in love with this story is fantastic and I appreciate your hard work. I lolo that little by little he says everything to his Shizun and moremrivalr for our protagprota.
Thanks for the update and OMG everything is happening *tears* strange dude controlling blood, mc finally starting to kinda understand the people around him and poor binghe falling to pieces … it’s all so poignant ❤
This could really have turned into a horrible BE novel.
Am i the only one who thinks that shizun savior is the canonLBH?/LBG
Hehe thanks for the chapter~~ has the time finally come? For Shizun to be truthful to LBH? Hehe :3:3:3
The true ML has appeared..! Binghe is going to be ticked when he finds out the MC ingested someone else’s blood.
Binghe has explained his part of the story, so now Shen Qingqiu can explain why he wanted to avoid Binghe at that time, too. It’s your turn, shizun!
Thanks for the chapter!
Hahahaha. Shizun keeps expanding his vision. Now he knows not to let others touch him all around. Except for LBH, Who can touch him all he wants.
I love this series so much. I read the entirety of the 51 translated chapters in two days and now I’m sad to have run out. Thank you to all of the translators for your hard work!
You could go for Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official’s Blessing in the meantime. Same author.
GDC translation is at chapter 92/119 and HoB is at chapter 18. You can find both on novelupdates. 🙂
I think it’s the slippery monster from that lake where they found that flesh flower. It seemed that by taking it away, the monster had a chance to do smth and it had languid eyes
I think it’s that guy who SQQ spoke with when he used a talisman to protect himself & he had to wait out his time in a self imposed fish bubble.
Thank you for translating the chapter! Current Bingge is this odd mix of scary and pitiful, no wonder SQQ feels conflicted! Also Chicken Soup for the Soul, that’s such a nostalgic series for me. I’m surprised hearing about it again now.
Bing-mei is going to be so embarrassed when he figures out that the Shizun in his dreams is the real Shizun. Or maybe just deliriously happy. If the mysterious guy is Mo Bei Jun, then what’s his motive??? Thanks for the chapter!
This is heartbreaking. Bingmei please
Binghe should apologise by kissing Shizun’s hands over and over…. ٩(^ε^ )۶
I’m a bit confused who is the demon that abducted Shizun 🤔
Their dream encounters are so intense and in a way necessary lol otherwise Shizun would never guess what is in his desciple’s mind 😂
But seriously how romantic is that? Shizun really can’t run away nor hide because their destinies are entangled together! Is about time he realizes that! Literally even death can’t rip them apart 👌
Thank you for your hard work 🙏
If SQQ didn’t enter LBH’s dreams, I wonder how long it would take him to figure everything out hahaha!
Thanks for translating!
Someone kissed your wifey, LB.
Rip, mysterious person.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! <3
Thanks for your hard work!
LBH finally explained a lot to SQQ! They should have talked it over for quite some time… would have made things a lot easier, I think
Binghe didn’t do anything wrong Dx
Thanks for another great chapter, translation team! <3
Hahaha, SQQ has all these things he wants to say but ultimately just pats LBH on the head. You sap.
Poor LBH, poor SQQ. These dream sequences are my favorite. I like LBH being very honest about his feelings and poor SQQ doesn’t know how to react.
Poor Bingmei.. Shizun forgive the poor puppy and let him do you LOL xD and that mysterious person.. hmmm is it Mo Bei? Lol I can’t think of any person from the demon race that would help our Shizun ahahaha anyway..
Thanks for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
What i don’t understand is why the heck LBH even have the time to sleep (therefore dream) when he has Shizun’s corpse to steal back???? (I’m being creepy) poor Binghe T.T
Thank you for the translation! 🙂
Thanks for the update!
Thank you souch for the translation! Poor SQQ. When you want to run, but your disciple is just too pitiful…
It’s natural for SQQ to be in denial. When your train of thoughts (3 world views) is suddenly dangerously derailed it is difficult to wrap the matter around your head. SQQ is confused even more than LBH. Nevertheless, it’s hilarious how SQQ keeps blaming the author for his misfortune, which in a sense is absolutely right. SQQ has to be honest right now, for his own peace of mind. ;-D
I just wish SQQ would be honest. But I guess he’s too scared to face LBH :c
Thanks for the chapter!
The real tragedy is the misunderstandings… even when our derpy MC realizes that the Stallion has eyes only for his Shizun… he still mistakes LB intentions…
It’s not about the banana in the hole… LB loves his Shizun, I don’t think anyone would be unmoved by such devotion…LB thinks only of him… If I had someone that loved me that much I would be really shaken, from someone he was very close too? I think my heart would probably react… I might question myself, does it feel bad to be loved by someone like that? am I really against being loved like this?
So… anyway… if LB wasn’t involved, then that new guy the other Higher up demon… was he responsible?
Bing He… Is a masochist.
This is a fact. I think….
Shizun… Beware of this behavior.
Translator san thank you for this update
Thank you for the update <3
Omg thanks for the update! I’ve been waiting sooo eagerly and as I read it the chapter already ended :’)
Ah still wondering who’s the one who kidnapped SQQ but I think I’ve seen him in a video spoiler lol
I really hope that LBH will realise that his Shizun is still alive poor little lamb uwu
And imo Shen Yuan’s thoughts is the best charm of this novel lmao I love him
‘What was more ridiculous than finding out that the person you did everything you could to run away from during the past few years didn’t even want to kill you, but wanted to do you instead?’
This tho LMAO
what vid?
There’s a scum villain’s illustrations video on youtube, which might contains spoilers but the illustrations are so good ugh
thanks 4 the chapter………
I feel like that other guy who let him drink his blood is Shang Qinghua??? Didn’t he go to the Demon Realm after SQQ’s death?
Hngggg help him fix this, sqq plsssss ㅠㅠ the boy’s too pitiful
nah! he might be mo bei jun! the demon man who appeared before BingMei was stabbed
I really pity Binghe in this chapter, like he is going insane by deliberately hurting himself to stay sane hiks… ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚
Shizun please notice his longing heart~~
Thanks for the latest chapter.
Such a big revelation to Shen Qingqiu. I’m curious to see how he’ll react. And if he might give himself away with that or at least leave Luo Binghe with a hint 🤔
So after realising he had drunk two different ancient demon blood, Shen Qingqiu passed out and entered Luo Binghe’s dreamscape?
But! Does the last paragraph mean Shen Qingqiu has resigned to his fate and accepted Luo Binghe? XD
The cloaked figure gave off the feeling of a sleazy Casanova. I wonder who he is (σ≧▽≦)σ
Thank you for the chapter! 💕💕
There’s no who’s wrong.. Your the one that lead LB like you.. Thought if it’s me..i run away too.. With or without knowledge..
Thank you for the chapter Translator-sama !!!! 💕💕💕💕
Poor LBH…lost his shizun, lost his corpse, lost chance to confess.. .😢😢😢😢
‘lost chance to confess’
Ouch!
This chapter got me confused by the order of events. What exactly happened??😂😂 how did he get into Lou binghe’s dreamscape?
“After thinking this, Shen Qingqiu let out a cheerful sigh and toppled over. ”
After this Shizun enters the dreamscape. Basically, he loses his consciousness after the mysterious person gives him their blood and from then on LBH just accidentally pulls him in the way he has done before.
So, yeah. The order of events from the end of the previous chapter:
1) SQQ gets kidnapped.
2) LBH remembers about the blood and tortures him.
3) The kidnapper alleviates the pain by feeding him their blood.
4) SQQ says f**kitall and faints.
5) Tada! The romantic blood-splattered reunion!
Hope it clarified things a little ^_^
Luo Binghe pulled him in, I guess? It’s like wifi…
Great job
Awwwww…. Go back to LBH SQQ… he needs his shizun!
Thanks for this chapter as always. I also got confused whether they were in dream or reality and also the person who gave him demon blood must be luo binghe i guess
you got it all wrong dear!! look up//
Thank toi!!! Merci et à la semaine prochaine!!!!
Hehe, run Shizun run. Being killed or being f*cked, SQQ’s fts I’m outta here instinct is still strong.
‘What was more ridiculous than finding out that the person you did everything you could to run away from during the past few years didn’t even want to kill you, but wanted to do you instead?’
OK, this made me laugh out loud on the train. Thanks for the translation and great chapter!
Yayyy, finaly update😍😍
I’m f*cking laughing right now
