061, “……Just a moment, Mister Chi.”

He sent an error report request to the Lord God.

Ever since the elevator incident where he had blurted out “Xiaochi”, this was the first time 061 had returned to calling him Mister Chi again. The severity of the situation could thus be seen.

Chi Xiaochi also realised something wasn’t right, “What’s wrong?” Gde9XH

061 said, “This is only your second task, you shouldn’t have been matched to a world with an A-grade difficulty. It might be that the random assignment system malfunctioned. Don’t panic, just lie down. I’ll always be here for you.”

Chi Xiaochi was slightly startled.

He’d been fine on his own for many years, so he felt that a promise like “I’ll always be here for you” was simply so banal, it couldn’t be any more banal.

——He, Chi Xiaochi, could live perfectly well on his own, he didn’t need anyone else at all. Chi Xiaochi had been in the circle for many years and his position was so high, yet no one had overestimated their own capabilities and tried to run over to him to act cute like this.

1LOsD

……He never thought that it would actually turn out that truly, the more banal the words, the nicer it was to listen to.

Chi Xiaochi obediently lay down and waited for a reply with 061.

 

Soon, the reply to his request returned.  It stated that after inspection, it was found that the random assignment system 089 had not malfunctioned. His host being matched to a world of A-grade difficulty only depended on probability. Please quickly receive the world information. 0GeIdu

The implication was too bad, so sad. Deal with it.

061 explained to Chi Xiaochi, “……Such a precedent has never been set before. Most of the second worlds of other hosts are C-grade and at most B-grade.”

Chi Xiaochi, “So I’m the first?”

061, “……” You sound very proud of yourself. vwNRcF

Out of helplessness, he sent the world settings over to Chi Xiaochi.

 

Some of the settings of this world was a little different from the one Chi Xiaochi was familiar with. Although it was still set in modern times, homosexual marriage was already allowed. Luckily, the general value system and world views of this world were pretty similar.

His host, Shen Changqing, was born to a middle-class family, and had a gentle personality. In the past, he was an advertisement model signed to an international modelling company. Later,  he had a chance encounter at an event with Chairman Zhou Kai, who took a fancy to him at first sight.  5h2vB

Soon after, Zhou Kai began his enthusiastic pursuit.

Zhou Kai couldn’t be considered young, but a businessman like him, who managed to expand his business all around the world before the age of 45, was already considered to be the youngest in his circle.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

He had a strong preference for Asian males. His first marriage was to Su Wenyi, a Chinese man, to whom he had been married for 12 years.

The relationship between the two was rather low-key. The occasional news that broke out were all about the conjugal bliss and harmony between the two and the holidays they took, with ten fingers intertwined, to such-and-such country. ZCKHWU

 

After Su Wenyi left the world, he remained single for more than four years before meeting Shen Changqing.

From the point of view of an outsider, Shen Changqing’s luck didn’t just call for his ancestral graves to emit blue smoke, it called for his ancestral graves to catch fire.

  9TsX2D

With him at the age of 22, young and handsome, if no accidents occurred, Zhou Kai would definitely go before him.

Zhou Kai had no children. When the time came, even if he only got half of his inheritance, it would be enough for him to buy a house, buy land, support a pretty boy, and play around until he turned eighty.

Not only that, but Zhou Kai wasn’t bad-looking and was an extravagant spender.

As such, in the eyes of the public, despite his few little flaws, such as his irritable nature, his big mouth, and his unwillingness to  control himself in public, he was still considered a good match in general. y4fK3b

 

But this good match had an unspeakable secret.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

……He was born without sexual function. 

Pc Jtl Wljbmtl’r bqlclbc, atlr wluta yf atf bcis qlas atlr oemxlcu kbgiv tjv ajxfc bc tlw. uC6Pa9

 

Unfortunately, being a natural castrate, as expected, Zhou Kai was a pervert.

Even if he could push the blame of being infertile on the woman, the proud Zhou Kai couldn’t bear having outsiders speculate about his abilities and male dignity. JZYLnH

So he simply married a man and cut off any talk once and for all.

But this choice conversely played a terrible role in his long-term married life, constantly reminding him of the fact that he couldn’t properly have sex.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

After the death of his first partner, he became more cautious about choosing the next.

After much investigation, he judged that Shen Changqing was good-looking, easy to control, and qualified as a passable “ornament”. YpZsOB

As a result, on the wedding night, Shen Changqing, who knew nothing, was directly covered by a plastic bag and almost toyed into the morgue.

From then on, it had been a three-year-long neverending nightmare.

 

Shen Changqing had thought about divorce countless times, but his family background was at best, from the lower middle class. The trifling twenty thousand yuan his parents earned every month was a mere fart to Zhou Kai. IvdAJn

And once Shen Changqing entered his door, unless he left in a bodybag, he couldn’t  think of leaving his control knowing his secret.

Shen Changqing’s nature tended towards gentleness. To put it nicely, he was steady and took the big picture into consideration. To put it frankly, he was resigned to his fate.

From the first time he had woken up in a hospital bed, he had already resigned himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, he recognised that he, this little calf hair, was absolutely incapable of dealing with Zhou Kai, this big thigh. cdiC3

He didn’t jump up and make a fuss about wanting a divorce, didn’t try making contact with the outside world, and didn’t complain. He was, instead, completely docile and obedient to Zhou Kai. So although he was still taken to task at every turn, at least Zhou Kai thought that Shen Changqing was obedient and didn’t think of causing trouble all the time like Su Wenyi, so he didn’t vent his moody temper on Shen Changqing as much.

 

About how his predecessor Su Wenyi had died, whether he had been toyed to death by Zhou Kai or couldn’t stand the humiliation and had chosen suicide, Shen Changqing already couldn’t care less.

Every day, he just thought about how he was going to live on. rpfOZy

Every time Zhou Kai went out on business trips for anywhere from ten days to a half a month, he was as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.

When he ate at home, even if Zhou Kai just placed his chopsticks down a little louder than usual, Shen Changqing’s legs would cramp up uncontrollably. But no matter how painful his legs were, he still didn’t dare let out any expression.

Despite this, he would still get beaten up every few days. If he talked too much, he would get beaten, but if he talked too little, he would still get beaten. His eyes swelling up like ping pong balls was even more common.

Zhou Kai seemed to really like seeing Shen Changqing with a bruised nose and swollen face. He was especially kind and considerate to the beaten man. Up until the next unpredictable outburst began, everything would stay very peaceful and calm. tzNncH

 

Shen Changqing knew he was raising a little girlfriend outside. This little girlfriend was also a model who accepted her identity as a mistress well, was open-minded, and had a tight mouth, all very much to Zhou Kai’s taste.

Shen Changqing had long since become numb to such trifles.

Zhou Kai appreciated Shen Changqing’s “obedience” and “understanding”. Sometimes, he would even be haunted by his thin conscience and would be extremely tender to Shen Changqing in the one or two days where he hadn’t beaten him. GJHWmA

It was just that to Shen Changqing, this kind of “tenderness” was all the more bloodcurdling.

 

During one of those “sweet days”, Zhou Kai gave Shen Changqing a little purebred Labrador puppy.

This was Shen Changqing’s only comfort in this long, dark marriage. 7jkDRP

He gave all his remaining love and kindness to the little pupper, and named it Help. Bathing and feeding it, were all personally done by him.

About half a year later, Shen Changqing once again offended Zhou Kai for some strange reason.

Zhou Kai’s buttons were very strange. They could probably be collectively called “Schrodinger’s Buttons”. On some days, he could brush off some words with an “it doesn’t matter”, but a few days later, the same words would result in a round of beatings.

In short, for some trivial reason, Shen Changqing received a loud slap to the back of his head from Zhou Kai. It made a loud sound, but wasn’t very painful, just making him terribly dizzy, and he would be fine after a moment. w8POYs

Shen Changqing had already grown used to this kind of beating, but he had forgotten: This was the first time Zhou Kai had hit him in front of Help.

Help lunged over and sank his teeth into Zhou Kai’s leg, even breaking the skin.

Zhou Kai glared and let out a “fuck”. He raised his leg and aimed a kick at Help.

The series of senseless beatings that followed badly injured Help, and Shen Changqing, who fought desperately to protect Help, had his ribs kicked in. RxVdP

 

After that instance, Zhou Kai seemed to realise that he had gone too far. After getting himself vaccinated, and softly placating Shen Changqing for a bit, he took the initiative to take Help to the best pet hospital for treatment, claiming that the dog had been kicked and beaten by a madman while out on a walk and had gotten injured.

On a certain level, his words were true.

Two months later, Help came home. He snuggled into Shen Changqing’s arms whining, his big eyes shining with tears. kMCFG9

Hugging him to his chest, Shen Changqing burst into tears, “Help.”

Zhou Kai even patted Shen Changqing’s hair, “It’s alright. See, he’s back.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zhou Kai’s fits of irritability broke out in stages. For instance, at this time, he was astonishingly tender, not at all like that madman who beat up his partner and dog into an unrecognisable pulp.

On the second day of Help’s return, Zhou Kai let Shen Changqing go out shopping, letting him buy whatever he wanted. 7vL8sj

Shen Changqing knew that he wasn’t afraid of him running for several reasons: First, he had been obedient for three years, which would have won him a little trust no matter what; second, he was accompanied by a housekeeper; and third, Help was still at home.

Shen Changqing was already very happy to be away from Zhou Kai.

He was away from home for half a day, running around to many pet shops before finally being able to buy Help’s favourite dental chews and jerky treats.

Knowing that Zhou Kai might just flare up again if he stayed out any longer, Shen Changqing reluctantly returned home. y5vkSx

When he returned, Help, who would always greet him with his slippers in his mouth, was nowhere to be seen.

He called out a few times, “Help? Help, where are you?”

Zhou Kai walked out of the kitchen, “You’re back?”

Shen Changqing suddenly had a bad feeling. He stared at Zhou Kai, “……Have you seen Help?” YkmdDL

“Didn’t you see?” He uncovered the copper cloche on the dining table to reveal a dog leg that had been roasted until it was crisp, and laughed, “He’s right here.”

 

Shen Changqing stood there for a long time, stunned, before clutching at his hair, and letting out a heart-wrenching scream. He then turned and rushed back to his room. 0PcBZY

Zhou Kai went up and knocked on his door, asking maliciously, “You haven’t had dog meat before? It’s delicious. If you’re not willing to eat, I’ll save it for you.”

That night, Shen Changqing tied a noose that was made from his bedsheets around his doorknob and hung himself, committing suicide.

 

After watching everything, Chi Xiaochi and 061 fell into deep thought together. 0fTWPc

 

Chi Xiaochi said, “This is A-grade. What are your S-grade worlds like? I would like to learn a little in advance.”

Read more BL at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

061 said, “S-grade generally refers to the difficulty of the world itself. For instance, in an apocalypse or war, there’s a chance of dying and being logged out from the very moment you enter. It’s unlikely one will come across them.”

Chi Xiaochi’s tone was a little strange, “That’s not necessarily true.” rhCPfc

061, “……En?”

Chi Xiaochi didn’t continue the topic.

Currently, it seemed that Chi Xiaochi had transmigrated over some time after Shen Changqing had his ribs kicked in when protecting his dog.

He said, “In comparison, this is still pretty good. At least right now I still have a bed, and Help and I still have at best two months of safety.” GD M4e

As he looked at those two broken ribs, 061 couldn’t see what was good about this.

Chi Xiaochi comforted him, “I’m not scared of Zhou Kai. Let’s put it this way, I’m the kind of person who is generally relatively resilient. So if he dares to hit me, I’ll dare to castrate him. When the time comes, I don’t believe he’ll still be able to treat it at home. When that happens and the situation is revealed, I won’t need to worry about the media not coming to interview me.”

061, “……”

Chi Xiaochi, with a look on his face as if he were asserting a truth, calmly declared, “Any problem that can be solved with a kitchen knife, can’t be called a problem.” UFxW3l

061, “……”

Chi Xiaochi, “If you think about it that way, don’t you feel so much more relaxed?”

061, “……” Don’t say it, it’s actually true.

  ZnO0od

Chi Xiaochi laid down on the bed, “Murder and arson is always the last resort. If by any case my inferences from the last world were true, if I just slap my ass and leave, the one who has to face the sentencing is Shen Changqing.”

As he said this, he rubbed his chest and said to himself, “……I know, you reckon that I should go all out, even if I have to go to prison, to get rid of that guy. But you need to understand, I haven’t been hired specifically for the purpose of taking him down with me. If someone has to die, he’ll be dying alone. Or else, in the underworld, you might still end up being harassed by him.”

061 was unable to restrain his smile.

He was so serious, as if Shen Changqing was really still here in this body lPd9Hi

But he still went along with Chi Xiaochi, saying, “Shen Changqing, you can rest assured. Believe him, he has a plan.”

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Having said what he needed to say to Shen Changqing, Chi Xiaochi checked the current goodwill and regret levels.

Goodwill level of 45, regret level of 0. ucRIZE

Seeing such a pitiful number, 061 was left momentarily speechless.

But Chi Xiaochi was optimistic, “Ha, the power of the proletariat is infinite.”

Chi Xiaochi then checked his card storage.

In the previous world, he had used Yang Baihua’s goodwill level as an ATM, taking advantage of its rises and falls to dredge up quite a few gains. After falling out with him, he’d even promptly used up the mere remnants of goodwill points by exchanging them for two low-grade hypnosis cards. It could be said that he had completely cleaned out the bone marrow. 3nMyp8

Now, other than the eight complementary trial cards, Chi Xiaochi still had two hypnosis cards, one vertigo card, one strength enhancement card, one displacement card, and one invisibility card, of which the effects were all easy to understand from their names. Although they were all low-grade cards with a limited duration, it had been the most optimal exchange plan that Chi Xiaochi had come up with after much deliberation.

Chi Xiaochi said, “Liu-laoshi, send me a copy of Zhou Kai’s schedule for the next two months starting today.”

That plate of dog meat had truly disgusted 061. He asked, “There are only two months of safety left, are you sure you can handle this?”

Chi Xiaochi had been minding his own business, pulling out the needle of the already-empty IV drip. He smiled widely, “Whether or not I pass this course at the end of the term will be dependent on the resources and key points Liu-laoshi gives me.” 9IuwKX

 

The author has something to say:

To tell the truth, in《Don’t Respond to Strangers》, the one I’m most afraid of isn’t An Jiahe, it’s the housekeeper who watched the female protagonist the entire time but never told her to run.

I don’t know if there are any readers who remember that expressionless, indifferent face. Uu6aVq

Moreover, when it comes to domestic violence, there are only zero or countless instances.

It was because he couldn’t run that little Changqing met such an end. If any readers meet someone like that (an abuser), if you can run, you should run, just leave them to their end.  


sere: word, author, word. Please please find help. You do not deserve to be hurt, no matter who you are. 

ALSO WHO TF MAKES A FUCKING PLATE OF DOG MEAT FROM A PET WTFFFFFFFFF BAUM WARNED ME BUT I STILL DIDN’T EXPECT SUCH A MURDER H3BPWm

baum: Agreed. Also, domestic violence isn’t the only thing to look out for. If your partner starts trying to isolate you from your friends and family, or is anything like Yang Baihua with the gaslighting, you should leave them and find help.

and oof, poor Help TT~TT

  1. I feel like I am going to swear a lot while reading this arc (especially when the ML appears) and cheer like crazy when the bi*ch slapping begins.
    Also, I hate Stupid Pig Brain.

    Thanks for the chapter!!!

  2. ARMIES, IMBECILE DETECTED!PREPARE YOUR WEAPONS!

    ⌐╦╦═─

    locks on target ED bastard

  3. Thank you for your chapter♡

    BOOOIII just tell me from which trash bin you be picking up boys so I could throw it into a black hole .
    I would say u need jesus but even satan wouldn’t want your ass in hell.

  4. Wow, this world is mega hardcore… Tightening up my belt, earnestly hoping to see MC’s cruelest retribution delivered ah (  ̄^ ̄)ゞ. Really appreciate the author’s note, too, although it looks like some easy-to-say common sense, there’s still people who can’t even bring it out 🙁

  5. Don’t forget that the most dangerous time with a domestic abuser is leaving them. They retaliate against you leaving their sphere of influence. Make sure to get your restraining orders or to move far away and get a new number, as well as make sure that anyone who has your new address isn’t going to share with anyone. “The Gift of Fear” is recommended reading. So is “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft, if you’re struggling to accept that you’re with a domestic abuser/intimate partner violence.

    (There’s a recommendation for those with abusive parents too, while we’re on the topic, but I can’t recall.)

    I read this and the next arc in MTL and I’m just 👀👀👀 I hope y’all choose to censor the racial slurs coming up in later chapters, because that was painful even through MTL.

    • Isn’t that part of the horrifying abuse then?
      Though I understand why it would be better to censor it, I hope the words are left understandable so we know what exactly is happening.(haven’t MTL’d it myself so I don’t know the severity)

      • SCQ and ZK are both Chinese; the racial slurs used in this part are not anti-Asian and are disconnected from the abuse that SCQ suffers. But it is taboo in most of the English speaking Western world to use these particular slurs uncensored (granted, I’m all for censoring all racial slurs). They’re very easily recognized even with censorship though tbh.

        I just don’t want my fellow readers to be unduly uncomfortable because of racial slurs, like a warning should at least be made if the translators choose not to censor the words themselves.

        • I don’t know why we are even discussing the need to censor. I don’t think a translator’s job is to censor… Otherwise how is that different from a certain Chinese site? Appropriate warnings yes, censorship no. Leave the novel as the author has meant it.

  6. Thanks for the chapter! This is going to be a nasty arc to read, although it will be much more appreciated when the scum lead gets his just desserts. It looks like CXC has figured out he’s set up by pig brain. As upsetting as this arc is going to be, it’s so nice to have such a sharp MC.

    • Yep, and nice to have an awesome author who can implement that cleverness to the plot!

      Rlly tho, I LOVE Chi Xiaochi, and it’s just the first arc lmao xDD

  7. I already feel so nauseous thinking about the poor dog
    Xiaochi!you gotta kick that bastard’s ass
    Did i love his confidence that he could solve this with a kitchen knife?
    I love him xD

    • I feel thou art a sensible and kindred soul, would thou be willing to join this one in bowing down to the Great Master Chi, The Great Savage Destroyer of Scum (of human origin or otherwise)?

  8. Thank you for the new chapter! Forever soft over CXC reassuring his host. Hope things aren’t too hard for him despite it being an A-grade world.

    (Also, having read some spoilers, does this mean the ABO world is S-grade?)

  9. i hate abusers the most, specially those that hurt innocent animals, i hope his ending is so cruel and brutal, he will feel it till his next 100 lives!

  10. I was completely sick in my soul but then our MC spoke:

    Chi Xiaochi, with a look on his face as if he were asserting a truth, calmly declared, “Any problem that can be solved with a kitchen knife, can’t be called a problem.”

    061, “……” 

    Chi Xiaochi, “If you think about it that way, don’t you feel so much more relaxed?”

    •••

    And, I did, I did feel more relaxed. (^_^)

    I won’t be happy unless this fucker experiences endless pain and suffering and dies a miserable death. (The trash brain included.)

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!

  11. Calling that guy “scum” is too nice….hope our MC will make him pay for all his sins in the worst way

  12. Thanks for the chapter! Yeah, abuse can be mental, like in the first world &/or physical.
    I’m counting on our MC for justice to be served…

  13. For real, my great-grandmother experienced that back in the 30’s, when she was travelling. Some people at a villige gave her a dog (as a pet, she thought), but a coupé of months later it was their dinner <<
    She told me the story ofte, when I was a kid. I think it was quite the traumatiske experience for her –
    -‘

    • Damn autocorrect…
      – people at a village
      – a couple of months
      – quite the traumatic

      • Bowing and praying to the Great Master Chi, The Great Savage Destroyer of Scum (of human origin or otherwise) for this poor abused human and dog soul, may the scum die an unspeakable and sordid death and have his own soul abused and eaten over and join the worst scum as well so they may torment one another.

        Thanks for translating this chapter so wonderfully, I feel both the author and translating team has handle the subject well, thank you very much.🙇‍♀️

  14. hi, thanks for translating.

    btw…..The tv series the author references is “Don’t Respond to Strangers”. The movie “Don’t Talk to Strangers” is an American movie about an ex-husband stalking his wife when she re-marries.

  15. That scum man so twisted. MAKES ME SICK!!!! I’m looking forward to seeing your filthy thin. I laugh at your grave

    • I am just feeling sad for that scum previous husband he had to suffer through that for 12 years.

  16. As much as I like doggos, I’m wary when I see them in any kind of story and this is the reason why. 😭😭 I swear if I was Shen Chanqing, I’d go to prison. 😡😡😡 Can’t wait to see Scum ZK get his retribution. 🤗🤗🤗

  17. I think I’m going to puke. This son of a btch deserves to be fed acid.

    Thanks for translating

  18. Honestly thought the dog would survive amputation and the story would continue. Suicide isn’t an answer, but my poor readers heart is glad it ended right then and there. How tragic of a name is Help too for a dog? Did the vet hospital not get his name, did they overlook it, or did that scum use a fake name?

    I’m looking forward to Chi Xiaochi giving Help and Shen Changqing a happy future, but I’m dreading the steps leading up.

  19. I need an entire series of face slapping to calm myself down…

  20. MC is very smart! He realized it’s not a coincidence he ended up in an A-level world, and expects it could be S next time.

  21. This arc promises gore and Tears. Ugh, this Scum deserves death.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  22. oh my korean friend told me that her grandpa killed and cooked her beloved poodle , made her hysterical and went to indonesia. And several years later, her mother told her to back and married or her father would find her and killed her current dog … WOW … dog eater were truly garbage …

    • Omg my grandpa also made me a dog soup…when I was young…it was a random dog i never know and I guess it’s not my grandpa who killed it but still🙄🙄

  23. Some shitty violence there…i wish our MC just cut this piece of shit ZK to thousands pieces and rub some salt on his wounds….(more violence)😜..

  24. “Any problem that can be solved with a kitchen knife, can’t be called a problem.”

    CXC down to murder and so am I.

  25. It’s nice how the author is bringing awareness to DV. I’ll be honest, I was expecting this story to be about the MC changing the Trash BFs into a loving ML, but nope. It takes a more realistic and practical approach, that you shouldn’t put up w/ that kind of BS, shouldn’t tolerate those kinds of ppl, and to get help and get out. The abusive lover isn’t gonna change, and the horrible endings of the OG bodies is the worse case scenario that we should all try to avoid. Hats off to the author 🙌🤛

  26. Mon cœur a littéralement gelé d’effroi quand le chien a été cuit, ayant un chien, je voulais vomir de dégoût ! I am really hateful of this character, and I would not be satisfied until I saw him fall into the biggest hell ! (╬゚◥益◤゚)

  27. No… Just… No. I mean… Dog… That person should be locked at mental hospital. Seriously. This novel really broaden my horizons… Never I see villains more disgusting, more horrible… More….. Villani-er?

  28. I can’t with this pain ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) Güey cried since they hit the poor Help, it literally took me a minute to calm my tears. Damn scum I curse you!←~∋(。Ψ▼ー▼)∈゛゛

  29. I want to kill that bastard!!

    Poor Chanqing and Help my heart bleed for them. Im glad there is another chance to change everything.

    Thank you for this chapter!

  30. yikes an horrifying level of domestic violence… and… murdering an innocent pet

    his poor first husband probably had a similar fate until he died. i want to vomit

  31. This big shot got mental issues.

    Seriously, beating up people for small travial matters… That’s just insanely pyscho…..well, I wonder how our CXC going to teaches him…. let’s look forward to that!

    061, I did realized you called his first name. Did CXC realized it?….or he doesn’t mind?

  32. What really gets me abt this world is that piece of garbage abuser truly killed and ate Shen Changqing’s last cry for Help. Chi Xiaochi, your plan this time better be a doozy

  33. I love that 061 went from “I’m not giving you rat poison” to “you know, you’re right, anything that can be solved with a kitchen knife is not a problem”

    These abusive fuckwads don’t deserve the dignity of a clean death. May this bastard get raped to death with a spiked pole

  34. I just want ZK to have worst end. I have got a cute little Lab too and I just can’t Imagine what the poor fellow went through. I was too nauseous reading it.

  35. “Any problem that can be solved with a kitchen knife, can’t be called a problem.”

    This arc is tough. Thank you for translating and tl notes.

  36. WTF HELP I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO KILL HELP BUT I COULDNT DEFEND MYSELF WITH THE TURN OF EVENTS WTF. Fricking ED gong.

    thank u for the chappy uwu

  37. I myself have a Lab puppy, only 9 months old. So this revelation was a big blow to me… I had to stop to cry a little and hug my furry friend, who was soundly asleep and kicked me in a face for disturbing his tasty dream. Plz let this scum’s end be the cruelest!

  38. It’s 2.53AM right now, I just read part with Hope being killed and I feel very really harmed.I dont think I would be able to sleep tonight.

    Amazing novel but so utterly strong, with both beautiness and awfulness of humankind.

    PS. LordG is so grrrrr

    🤬

  39. Fck, i almost threw up when he showed the dog leg. What. the. actual. fck dude. It felt like a horror for a second there.

  40. There was one time a couple of carpenters were hired by my dad to build a new house beside our old house and since the carpenters were also a friend of my uncle, every evening they would drink as a habit and also inviting Dad but my doesn’t drink alcohol so, he’s just their to listen some Ted talks,gossips,and stories. One day, a one carpenter asks for a dish to partner up with their alcoholic drinks since we have a couple of chips in our food storage, we gave it them as a substitute since those chips are also suitable for those alcohol but, instead of accepting those chips he asks my Dad for our dog. Since my Dad is also a dog lover he is unwilling but, despite that he didn’t rejected him for giving him some face instead, he said to the carpenter he should ask me and since the carpenter is pretty intimidated towards me since I’m a very distant and cold towards strangers so, he asked my Dad to ask me and I instantly rejected with a fierce, “NO WAY!” and after that I was in disbelief because it’s my first time I encountered a person who eats dogs.. So yeah that’s all thank you bows
  41. i have a feeling in just a few more arcs he will be transferred to a S Class world. im honestly damn disgusted by that manipulative pig brain. he collect so many regret points or wtv those points are called for what??? IS HE GOING TO NOURISH THAT BRAIN OF HIS?!?!? i honestly hope that cxc will not get abused by the slag if not my heart will definitely break 🙁

  42. Augh this will be painful. But I also really appreciate the messages around the many ways relationships can be toxic – the things to look out for, the ways to deal with problems. CXC is my hero! He’s such righteous and badass

  43. Aaaaargh!!! How dare he kill the pupper! Just how dare he?? Scum! Pervert! Imbecile!! An existence that even demons detest!! Die die die! Slowly. Painfully!🤬🔪

  44. Hmmmm…. This Zhou Kai dude really reminds me of Jiang Wenxu/Adolph Jiang from The Decade of Deep Love: 10 years where i loved you the most.. But a lot more problematic and disgusting

  45. If you are being abused and you live in America, I would not the callpolice! (unless you are out and are making a report) go to the fire department. Nine times out of ten the police will not help you and will only make it worse. They are not trained to handle the situation and will more than likely leave you alone with your abuser. fire department will protect you and keep you away and help you get in touch with the right people to get you out. I’m talking from personal experience, police do not do anything. (also 40% are Domestic abusers themselves) anyway please be carful and if you need help with anything GO THE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!
  46. lol im getting good relationship advice from this, what kind of people to lookout forhehe.

  47. SC named his dog Help bc he couldnt ask for help yet that motherfucker just??? cooked??? Help? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS SKINNY ASS BITCH OH MY GOD CXC BURN HIM

  48. This mf really went and killed SCQ’s dog Im- that’s next level madness 😭😭 The payback gonna be sooo satisfying and yes kitchen knife is very effective in any way ╮(╯_╰)╭

  49. I have a feeling that I’m slowly developing sadistic tendencies by reading so much of these novels and I’m not sure that’s a good thing QAQ

  50. Wow I’m just in awe at how awful that guy is. Not just an abuser but what he does to that poor dog is horrendous. 🤬

  51. The only thing that popped up in my mind while reading is, “Stop it. Get some help”

    It’s going to be a ride, huh?

  52. Who the hell that sane cook someone pets as food??????????????? As dogs and cats mummy, reading that make me triggered!!!!!!!!!!!! I ram this person with bulldozer if meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANGRY ANGRY ANGRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  53. Soooooooo. That chapter happened. Savvy of CXC to realize quickly he needs to know more about SS-grade worlds. (Hate the pig brain!) Naming the dog “Help” was a silent plea. Wonder if CXC will serve ZK a little crispy fried ZK leg? Still thinking back to the imaginary E. D. Monument from last arc that seems to have a ghostly appearance this arc… Still, crazy puppy killer needs to have a warning label branded on his forehead!!

  54. I thought the strategy to capture the scum gong is already the scummest but I guess those are just cute scum gongs. This scum gong here, he’s not even a trash but a big piece of sh’t.

  55. I’ve seen the warning, and didn’t think much about it, but oh boi, such a dog blood arc. As in, literally.

  56. These people…. are simply varying degrees of poison, murder and insanity rolled into a stir-fry…

    with tears for oil…

  57. [If I were in that situation]

    I would have give him a justifiable punishment,that is, stab him multiple times while avoiding the places where he’ll most likely die and continue to torture him using a lot of ways,like making him a punching bag or just basic stabbing. Either Im going to torture him for days or weeks(people would get sus when he’s gone for so long and will come looking for him) or just let him bleed out or starve himself to death while doing my act of justice.

    Giving him a quick but paindul death sounds pretty not much painful to me. It is instead unsatisfactory and I dont like it. What’s the use of pity and kindness when he literally tortured you to death every single day for like years(?) Its already annoying enough how the act of punishment will not be carried out the same time as the years of torture that scum gave.Actually,on second thought,we could just hide,theres that too. Anyways,I forgot to mention. During the torture,I aint want to spend anything for him,even food. So I’ll chop him bit by bit and feed it to him lah~Im going to even be kind enough to fry it until its crispy just for him.Tbh,I dont really like cannibalism but if its like this then why not(๑>ᗜºั)tehee

    Im not the kind of person who would hold grudges and get revenge or anything,but who would not be angry with this situation?

    People who r sick in the head should just remain in a Mental Hospital

  58. Author,in exchange for my possible anger that will bring me from this arc,The face-slapping better be painful to the point of bleeding and leaving a bruise that will stay in a person’s body forever. Actually,make it so you could see the bones in it(Idk if that makes sense XD)

    Also,I want more of characters like Cheng Jian and the Auntie,kinda miss them

  59. I agree.. Tolerating domestic violence or any type of abuse will only give rise to more more toxic behaviour.. It’s like a never ending cycle..

    Talk to family , friends or whoever available.. Go to police.. If no one helps, seek help from social media if possible.. Just don’t let oneself wither away..

  60. This is so horrifying… a nightmare. I can’t. CXC is still lucky, he has 061 with him. It’s so horrible mom, I’m scared QAQ

    thank you for the relationship advice. it can really be a life saver. also thank you for this chapter

  61. I agree with the author… What scares the most is the person who watched everything unfold and doesn’t help, the person who sees the other suffering so much and decides to ignore it is dark … dirty …When I read this arc for the first time, I was destroyed 🙁

  62. The f&king trash 🔪🔪🔪🔪I can’t wait for your doom your a&shole 🔪poor puppy 😭😭😭feeling like banging myself com the wall cux of anger 😭😭😭

  63. Oh god the dog’s name and fate. I’ve never had to actively force myself not to vomit when reading a QT Host backstory before, but I guess this is the first (I pray the last). 🤢🤢🤢🤢

  64. OMG this is absolutely sickening. One of my worst triggers is cruelty to animals, and this time it’s on top of some really horrifying domestic abuse… There had better be some epic face-slapping starting very, very soon, or I might not be able to continue reading… 😨

    Also, I could have done without the casual demonisation of intersex people 😒 There are many ways to feel good together with someone, and as a man you have more than one option, especially if you are with another man (depending on inclination, of course, and assuming that you actually like men). It doesn’t automatically follow that you will become a “pervert” (i.e., sadistic) because of it. And even if it does, there are safe, consensual ways to do that as well.

    …Unless you also happen to be a raging narcissistic psychopath, that is, but that has nothing to do with any physical abilities or disabilities or orientation or gender you may have. Just wanted to put that out there.

  65. Okay, so my comment was put under moderation again… I can’t even mention inters*x people on this site?

    All right, I’ll try to post again with ridiculously censored words:

  66. Ew my god this Zhou Kai is a new level of scumbag. I’ve read so many novels and never has a good-for-nothing guy been this hateful
