Neither Chi Xiaochi nor 061 knew about the Lord God’s scheme.
Cleaning finished, Chi Xiaochi went to the airport to pick up Shen Changqing’s parents.
The flight from Shen Changqing’s hometown to Vancouver took 18 hours, including the time taken to change planes.
Shen Changqing could now be considered half a celebrity in many cities, so it wouldn’t be good for him to appear at the airport. After skillfully shaking off the reporters following him with the ease of experience and arranging to meet up with his parents by the exit, he then waited for more than an hour before seeing the Shen parents coming out with the tide of people.
Both elders looked utterly travel-worn.
The sunglasses-clad Chi Xiaochi stepped out of his car.
He wasn’t dressed up like how he had for the public lens lately, wearing casual clothes, with a long scarf draped around his neck, succeeding in looking both appropriate and neat.
Other than being a little attention-grabbing due to him being taller than the average person, no one recognised him as that media darling who’d appeared in all kinds of news recently.
Upon seeing the Shen parents, he took off his sunglasses and strode over towards them.
Shen Changqing’s height had skipped a generation. His father was shorter than him by a whole head, not to mention his petite mother.
This one tall, one short, one neat, one disorderly, standing together in the same spot, would inevitably be rather conspicuously contradictory.
As soon as Madam Shen saw him, she started to prattle on out of habit, “Were you worried waiting? It’s all because of your Dad. He’s never left the country but still wanted to show off, saying that he could find the way, and in the end he followed the crowd and made a wrong turn, but still wouldn’t let me call you for the life of him……”
This was what was called a mother and son bond, even if they hadn’t met in over a year, a mere sentence could pull you into smoke and fire of the human world.
As the little leader of their group, being exposed by his wife before his son, Mister Shen couldn’t quite hold on to his face. He waved his hand, saying, “Why talk about this, why talk about this.”
Chi Xiaochi smiled.
In a small voice, he called out, “……Mom, Dad.”
Madam Shen looked at her son. “You’ve gotten thinner. Like when you were younger, you still don’t know how to have a good meal.”
Chi Xiaochi replied, as if inadvertently, “I’ve already gotten a little fatter than I was in the past.”
Whenever Chi Xiaochi spoke or acted, it was always for a distinct purpose. Shen Changqing’s parents might blame their son for not contacting them for so many years, so he decided to act a little pitiful first to ward that off.
When dealing with with the Cheng family’s relationship, just like now, he had used reason to judge what the other party might be feeling according to their personalities, and come up with the appropriate response.
……He’d long gotten used to doing things like this.
But upon seeing Madam Shen’s tears, Chi Xiaochi was stunned stiff.
That woman, her hair slightly unkempt, several tufts of white, ragged hair hanging before her forehead, spoke in an outburst, “You’re just like your dad, you never say anything.”
“……Why didn’t you say something, ah? Your dad and mom were always waiting for you at home, if you weren’t doing well, why didn’t you tell us? Your dad and mom would have taken you back home……”
Chi Xiaochi was wrapped tight in a warm embrace which smelled slightly of the economy class on-flight meal.
Cheng Jian from the previous world was also a close relative, but he wouldn’t have made such an intimate gesture towards Cheng Yuan.
Chi Xiaochi lowered his head, unexpectedly letting a slight helpless expression slip out.
Fortunately, there was 061. “At times like this, you need to hug back.”
Only then did Chi Xiaochi think of it. “……Oh.”
As he reached out his hands and wrapped them tightly around Madam Shen’s waist, Chi Xiaochi said to himself, “……My bad, I’ve never acted out this kind of thing before.”
061’s heart suddenly hurt a little for him.
What Chi Xiaochi had said was true. Probably by coincidence, or perhaps by avoiding such scripts on purpose, out of all the movie characters Chi Xiaochi had acted as, not a single one of them had had a big emotional moment with their parents.
Because he’d never acted it out before, he’d never experienced it before, he could only rely on his imagination.
Without warning, an image suddenly appeared in 061’s mind.
……A bowl of noodles with egg and shredded meat.
The egg was a double yolk, forming delicate white wisps in the fresh soup.
A yolk lay atop the noodles, the other yolk buried under steaming hot noodles.
The sudden appearance of this image disrupted his data stream.
061 ‘hmm’-ed lowly. “……Oh.”
Chi Xiaochi asked, “What’s wrong?”
It was only a fleeting image. The chaotic data stream quickly re-stabilised.

061 didn’t reply to Chi Xiaochi’s question, rather, asking, “How are you, do you feel any discomfort?”
He had never touched Chi Xiaochi when he was in a fully-conscious state, exactly because he was worried about him having a reaction, but Madam Shen had just hugged him for so long……
Chi Xiaochi was silent.
He closed the trunk and got into the driver’s seat. After setting in, he lifted his hand and rubbed his stomach.
That place wasn’t going through any vomit-inducing undulations, calm, warm, and soft.
He spoke softly, “……So this is how it feels.”
……The feeling of a familial embrace, the feeling of having a home to return to, felt like this.
061’s heart softened. He replied, “En, it’s like this.”
Chi Xiaochi took his parents back to the Zhou home.
Upon seeing the magnificent villa, Mister Shen and Madam Shen unexpectedly didn’t have any of the praise they’d had in the past few times they’d come to visit. When she saw the outer walls of the villa from far away, Madam Shen picked out a number of faults. After coming in, she had another variety of criticisms. Finally, she gave a strong concluding statement, “The feng shui isn’t good.”
Chi Xiaochi smiled as he said, “Right, it isn’t very good. So I’m planning on selling it.”
Mister Shen said, “Surnamed Zhou agrees?”
“Whether he agrees or not, doesn’t matter much.” Chi Xiaochi steeped tea for the two elders. “This property no longer belongs to him.”
In the divorce agreement Zhao Guanlan had drawn up for him, he had asked for this house.
And Zhao Guanlan had promised him, everything in this agreement would be placed under Shen Changqing’s name, exactly as asked.
He’d already made plans on how to use this villa. After he gained possession of it, he would be able to directly sell it off, to pay for the rest of the price of that house in Melbourne.
Madam Shen said, “Yes, don’t stay here anymore. You should come home.”
Chi Xiaochi smiled, “When everything has been dealt with, I’ll go back, but I might take a trip around the world, to drive away my cares.”
Chi Xiaochi wouldn’t make any promises.
If Shen Changqing was still here, when he returned this body back to him, whether he wanted to go home, or travel around the world, would all be up to him to decide.
What Chi Xiaochi could do, was set up a peaceful little nest for him in his dream location, giving him a haven for him to hide away from the rest of the world.
Humans had the instincts of animals. After getting hurt, they would need a place which belonged to them, and that only they knew about to heal.
Chi Xiaochi had experience with regards to this, so he would stand up for Shen Changqing.
Seeing their son being so optimistic, Mister and Madam Shen met eyes, and let out sighs of relief.
Shen Changqing didn’t know how to cook, so Chi Xiaochi didn’t show off his cooking skills, taking Mister and Madam Shen to a Chinese restaurant with very good reviews for a meal.
After the meal, Chi Xiaochi got up and went to the front counter to settle the bill.
The owner was a middle-aged, plump man, a gold chain around his neck and a long, old Qinglong tattooed on his arm.
Despite the bad taste, he was really in line with some Westerner’s perception of Chinese people.
He spoke with a Southern accent, “Take back your money, it’s free.”
Chi Xiaochi, “……En.”
The man pushed the money back. “I saw you in the news. It’s been really rough on you. Next time you meet someone, you should keep your eyes open.”
Chi Xiaochi wedged his money under the golden “beckoning wealth” striped toad, then turned and walked back to his table.
Behind him, the man tried to call him back with “hey”s, but Chi Xiaochi only looked back and smiled at him.
Since Chi Xiaochi’s mind was set, the plump, tattooed man didn’t say anything else about everything being free of charge.
When the platter of post-meal fruit was sent over, there was a light pink sticky note stuck to the platter, on it, an image of Hello Kitty’s head.
When Chi Xiaochi had went to settle the bill just now, he’d seen that design of sticky note at the counter.
Chi Xiaochi took down the sticky note, storing it in his wallet.
When he got home, after settling Mister and Madam Shen in the guest room they were staying in together for the time being, Chi Xiaochi went back to his room to rest.
He had always been a light sleeper. In the middle of the night, Chi Xiaochi was awakened by a slight sound from outside his room.
Chi Xiaochi asked 061, “A thief?”
“……No.” After 061 went to investigate, he said, “It’s Father Shen.”
Chi Xiaochi, somewhat surprised, got out of bed and went out.
The sight that appeared before him gave him a slight shock.
……It was already 2:30 am, but Mister Shen was actually in the bathroom, washing the toilet.
“……Dad?”
Upon seeing his son who’d suddenly appeared, Mister Shen, plastic toilet brush in hand, had a slightly embarrassed expression. “Why are you up? Was I too loud?”
“No,” Chi Xiaochi said, “It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? If you don’t sleep well and allow yourself to adjust to jetlag, it won’t be good for your heart.”
“I slept for too long in the plane, after sleeping for a while I couldn’t sleep any longer,” Mister Shen said, “When I got up at night, I saw the toilet was a little dirty, so I casually cleaned it a little for you.”
Chi Xiaochi looked at Mister Shen. A smile slowly appeared on his face.
“You should go sleep.” He reached for the toilet brush in Mister Shen’s hands. “I’ll do it.”
“I’m almost done, I’m almost done.” But Mister Shen wasn’t willing to give it to him, “I’m just doing it casually, I’ll be done soon. You’ve only just recovered, don’t strain yourself.”
Over the next ten days, Chi Xiaochi spent time together with Mister and Madam Shen, during which he accepted several media interviews, and then expressed to the rest of the world that he needed a break, and to please not disturb them.
Since his injury, Zhou Kai’s regret level had been increasing day by day.
Chi Xiaochi often heard about him from the hospital nurses.
Zhou Kai cried, Zhou Kai raged, Zhou Kai pointed at the doctor’s nose and scolded her, Zhou Kai begged the doctor to cure him quickly, Zhou Kai tried to contact his former subordinates from the company but was met with countless doors slammed shut in his face……
Chi Xiaochi expressed his deep sympathy towards his experiences, and redeemed another card.
Over these ten or so days, the stock in his storage had become very plentiful.
Right now, he had gathered a full deck of cards in his hands, all of which could be used to play Fight the Landlord.
On the sixteenth day since his admission to the hospital, probably because he finally recognised the reality that he’d already become a useless person, fully understood the stakes, and knew that if he didn’t agree to a divorce, Shen Changqing had a hundred different ways of making life hell for him, Zhou Kai relented, and decided to go ahead with the divorce.
The day Help was discharged from the hospital and came home, Chi Xiaochi finally let Zhou Kai’s regret level reach the maximum and meet the criteria for leaving this world.
Before he left, he specifically let his parents know that he wasn’t feeling well and needed to take a rest.
Returning to his bedroom, he laid down on the bed, and placed his hand on his chest.
He had nothing he needed to say to Shen Changqing.
Even if he was going to be someone else’s life mentor, he was more willing to use his actions to speak for him, rather than using his words.
For a foolish child like Cheng Yuan, he still needed to give him a few reminders, but Shen Changqing’s mistake was only a moment of blindness.
Compared to many people who could clearly run but continued to hope that their abusers would change, Shen Changqing had already done very well.
He said to Shen Changqing, who might still exist in his body, “I’m going to leave now.”
He said, “You have your parents, you have Help. Don’t be too consumed by hatred.”
Three years of a life not fit for humans was enough to drive a man crazy.
One of the most tragic things in this world was a warrior who slayed dragons becoming an evil dragon.
Chi Xiaochi pasted the sticky note which had already lost its stickiness onto Shen Changqing’s forehead, saying, “If there’s ever the chance in the future, let me give Help a hug.”
After that, Chi Xiaochi closed his eyes, and his consciousness left the world.
Half a day later.
Shen Changqing, who’d just woken up from his high fever, hugged his mother, who had been caring for him by his side and was so anxious that her lips had started to blister, bursting into bitter tears.
Madam Shen had felt like her son, who had been acting as if everything was fine for the past few days, was a little strange. Upon seeing Shen Changqing like this, a big stone in her heart also fell to the ground.
She caressed his back, crying more sadly than he was, “Okay, okay. Just cry it out, child.”
With not a small amount of effort, Shen Changqing caught his breath. Leaning over his mother’s shoulder, he turned and noticed a Hello Kitty sticky note on one side of his nightstand.
On it, were a few words.
“Walk slowly on the road, there are a lot of good people in this world.”
Next to it was also a very ugly smiley face, reminding one of that tacky gold chain and dragon.
Shen Changqing’s heart moved slightly. A warmth entered his heart, reigniting a little flame in that heart that had wanted to die for so many years.
Two days later.
Shen Changqing, holding a big envelope that was stuffed to the brim with one arm, came to the door of Zhou Kai’s ward on his own. He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and entered.
In the beginning, Shen Changqing thought that when he saw Zhou Kai, he would be afraid, he would want to escape, his legs would go weak. But, when he saw that old man past his prime in the bed who’d been drying out, dispirited for who knows how long, who was like a completely different man from the one in his memories, Shen Changqing was relieved.
……Without any expensive perfume to cover it up, the room was filled with that particular smell of an old man.
That crazed violent abuser was now, to put it frankly, nothing more than a hunk of meat past its expiry.
Upon seeing who his visitor was, Zhou Kai, who’d just gotten up and hadn’t had the time to wash up and had messy hair and a dirty face, let out what he thought was a malevolent smile. “You still know to come?”
These worlds were cold and threatening, but given that he was incapable of urinating or defecating by himself and could only rely on a catheter to pee, a bag half full of which was hanging by his bed, it was impossible for Shen Changqing to feel any fear whatsoever anymore.
Zhou Kai tried to hold onto his face, and bluffed, “You dare come here on your own today? Where’s your lover?”
In the face of these familiar insults, Shen Changqing was so calm he surprised himself.
He walked up to Zhou Kai’s bed and said, “Don’t worry, this will be the last time I see you. I have already applied for a restraining order from the courts. In the future, as long as you get within a hundred metres of me, I will have the right to call the police. I have already handed over all rights to manage the divorce arrangements to Lawyer Zhao.”
Zhou Kai stared at him. “Then why are you here?”
Shen Changqing began to open the large envelope he’d brought.
“……In the past, I always thought I had no choice.
“Later on, someone told me that there is always a choice, there is always a way.”
Upon seeing what was in the envelope, Zhou Kai’s pupils shrank sharply.
That was his precious stamp collection! The stamp collection his father had given to him!
He dared not believe it. “……Shen Changqing, what are you going to do?!”
“……I’m doing something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time,” Shen Changqing said, “I always didn’t know why you could care so much about a book of dead things, but couldn’t treat living human beings like people.”
He opened up the first page, and took out a stamp.
Zhou Kai couldn’t move. He could only shake his head desperately, a despairing, defeated expression emerging on his face. “Don’t…… I’m begging you, please don’t……”
Shen Changqing said, “You clearly know what ‘one and only’ means, so why did you have to destroy my one and only hope.”
He raised his hands high, pinched each side of the stamp with each hand, and slowly pulled on each end.
A slight tearing sound was heard, practically tearing Zhou Kai’s apart straight down the middle.
“No——”
Shen Changqing stared at him, threw the pieces of the stamp into his face, and took out the next stamp.
Zhou Kai roared uncontrollably, screamed, and finally, turned to non-stop pleading.
Just like how he had treated him countless times in the past, Shen Changqing ignored him.
The soundproofing of the ward was too good. By the time a nurse noticed his abnormal blood pressure and heart rate, and rushed to the ward, the sight before her gave her a shock.
—— A blank stamp album had been thrown onto the bed. Zhou Kai was holding up the stamp album in both hands, his strength exhausted, tears falling nonstop.
The bed was littered with fragments of stamps worth millions, blown about the room by wind coming in from the open window.
While Shen Changqing’s figure had already disappeared from the room.
Shen Changqing walked out of the ward building,
Help, his leash held by Madam Shen, was waiting downstairs. He was nodding his head and wagging his tail in a friendly manner at a passing female dog, but after spotting Shen Changqing, he tried to leap onto Shen Changqing in joy, tugging against his leash.
Shen Changqing crouched down and buried his face in the thick fur of Help’s neck, rubbing it against him in a tender and cautious manner.
He said softly, “Come, Help, let’s go home.”
The author has something to say:
Xiao Shen finally vented his anger qwq
In life, Mister Zhou was also a man with dignity, let’s all spit on him before we leave.
baum: Surprise!! we’re posting the last chapter of this arc early, cause we’d feel bad making you guys wait a whole week for just one chapter <3
I’m so proud of Shen Changqing T T The stamp part is just so satisfying hahahaha
Anyways, see you guys next week with the new arc~
Ahh that was reall good Shen Changqing , I’m proud of you. Seeing that scum begging for mercy made my day. BUt more importantly I’m worried about Chi Xiaochi, I bet that pig brain will offer a fake deal, something like the person you wanted to meet is in this world so you may stay in this world and if Chi Xiaochi accept he would stay with a fake and Lou-ge would be erased or something. Ahh i hope what i just said won’t come true
I doubt it. Xiaochi already supects that there’s somthing fishy about that pig brain so he won’t be so gullible as to accept something from the enemy knowing that it’s a trap. But who knows right? Some big plot twist might reveal that everything you guessed was right. That’d be one hell of a nightmare.😂
But you must also remember that he becomes irrational when is comes to Lou-ge, forgetting even to act infront of the host’s brother in the first world. He may not accept a deal like that, but it might still linger in his mind the possibility of it being true
Ahh I wasn’t expecting a chapter today, such a treat! I love the way chi xiaochi respects the original owner~~
Love what he did with the Stamps.
I practically orgasmed
I kinda feel bad for the stamp. But, he is an asshole so yay for getting over him.
Thanks for the chapter♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for the update
It’s so fullfilling. I’m so proud of Shen Changqin. He didn’t succumb to hatred. He has his parents and son, now he can walk into the future.
Thanks for the chapter. And this arc. Enjoy your free time!
Ah, ah! Xiao Shen is so adowableeee! I love hiiim! <3 He deserves so much better in life. I’m glad he’s had an opportunity to vent.
Finally, thank you so much for posting early! I was all prepared to wait for a week so it was a pleasant surprise! <3
ahh so satisfying. thank you for the early release!! ᵔᴥᵔ
When my soft heart feels bad for that old man who lost his inheritance. Reaffirm my hatred by remembering that he was a ruthless and cruel murderer and I felt better. ¯(◉‿◉)/¯
Never expected that final chapters will be released this quick.
But very grateful, love this novel to bits, most heart-wrenching QT I ever read.
Every world is truly different, I read first arc several times because of how satisfying face-slapping there was, second world is really heavy, I couldn’t help crying.
But still I’m really excited for the next worlds. Thank you so much for your hard work!
Have a good rest!!
Wawawa!Ó╭╮Ò
Shen Changqing, you go get him!(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
You deserve the best!
Also Liu-Laoshi please hurry and give Xiaochi a hug, baby needs love!(ᗒᗩᗕ)
Thanks so much for this chapter! It soothed the heart, but also stung so terribly!.·´¯
(>▂<)´¯·.ಥ_ಥYou’ve done well Shen Changing.. You’ve done well. Now enjoy your new life with your precious people.
And I’m very much interested in the next arc setting. I wonder how it would be played as I can only imagine something like YOI for now. But with Pig Brain inserting Trojan, I hope CXC won’t fall too deep for the mere illusion. Thanks for the translation.
I’m very glad that our MC left tearing up the stamps to the host.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!!!
It was satisfying to see the real Shen Changqing get his revenge. Thanks for translating!
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
Come on everyone, the old man is suffering, with broken limbs and with little money, we should all respect him by spiting on him, kicking and throwing dog shit on him 🤜🤛
Good SCQ~!
Now is time to worry about CXC, I wonder if the Trojan was to send him to another A world or even to a S world that might be too dangerous or even take too long to complete……
Thanks for the chapter!
OH MY GOD that chapter was amazing per usual. Thanks for the update.
“One of the most tragic things in this world was a warrior who slayed dragons becoming an evil dragon.”
Now, Oh my God oh my God is this a reference to fairytail you know about Acnologia since the same thing happened to him or just a coincidence but I’d be so happy if it was actually a reference because I love the anime.
It seems like I was excited that I didn’t notice that I’m not posting on the comment section as in to comment but replying to your comment sorry for the misunderstanding.
Let’s respect him by showering him with spit!!!
Thanks for the chapter. Ahh, what a satisfying end. I’d say it was well deserved.
As for the next world.. hm, is the Lord God attempting to let either of them “break the rules” to give him an excuse to reformat 061 again? D: it’s just a speculation but, aaaaaaah the suspense
Thanks for the chapter!
I love seeing the original owner participating actively in the revenge!!
Thank you for finishing the arc early 🥰
Cxc is truly so respectful of the bodies he’s in even though he doesn’t know if it’s true or not and really… he’s such a good guy I’m crying. This novel is I have no words to describe how great it is
Thanks for the arc! It’s super awesome! The moment I saw it was the end I immediately read it and finished in an hour. Hahahah. Honestly tho I feel like he shld have sold off all the stamps in an auction and made him watch it.
Ah so very satisfying, I’m proud of you Shen Changqing!
Thanks for the chapter! 💕
I feel bad for the stamps. Maybe Im part abnormal too? But for me there are 7 billion humans in the world, but theres only one of an object, I cherish the object more.
But eh, the stamps my worth millions, but the despairing face of that old monster? Priceless.
AHHHH!! This chapter was so good! The author managed to end it off perfectly! The gaudy man was really nice, and I’m so proud of Shen Changqing. No wonder Chi Xiaochi kept spending the regret points; he was waiting until everything settled down. I’m scared that there will be a fake Lou Ying in the next world, but I’m sure Chi Xiaochi will manage it miraculously. ah jeez. I hope he manages to be happy. I love both him and Lou Ying so much.
But my opinion’s still just my opinion avter all, I could guess whatever, but we won’t ever know what will truly happen in the end unless we finish reading it soooo…
I’m so proud of him. shen changqing is strong. I’m sure he’ll be just fine in the future.
Tbh this chapter made me cry multiple times…. what a journey.
I’m looking forward to the next arc!! Thanks for the quality translations!
Thank you for the chapter!
So satisfying. 🙂
AAAAHHHHH this has been an amazing journey so far and thank you so much for the wonderful translation <3
wow I criedddd I love the two original hosts and cxc😭 they’re so brave
I’m really glad with the ending 😭😭
I hope you have a good life, Shen Changqing!
that was so satisfying ah 🤣 Shen Changqing, i’m so proud of you!
Thanks for the hard work love the story ^_^
Wow this arc was incredibly satisfying. And we got to see some tender moments between our couple ahhh. Thank you for your hard work!
I’m going to cry….
I’m so happy that Shen Changqing finally made that scum man suffer. I’m so glad to read about Shen Changqing being reunited with Help.
My heart is aching—but this time, it’s from gratitude and relief.
Lol I feel that if CXC had been the one to rip up the stamps, the regret level would have jumped from 0 to 100. But I’m glad he let SCQ do it. I hope SCQ lives a happy life and finds true love too.
Out of curiosity, what was Help’s name in the original? Was it like Qiu?
I really love that hosts are alive in this novel. Compared to the novels where hosts are either ‘dumb people’ who let the fate wrong them or ‘ghosts’ with unresolved grievances, this novel’s tasks are so much more meaningful, because each time a person is saved. (Actually, not the tasks themselves, but the way Chi Xiaochi completes them. My heart hurts for everyone who didn’t get Xiaochi.)
I want to hug Shen Changqing. His life was miserable and im glad he now has a new life. There are still good people, he has his family and Help, he could move on and be happy.
Thank you for the chapter!
Piece of trash God don’t hurt CXC or I’m gonna transmigrate into the novel and kick you.
I felt bad for the stamps but then I remembered what a scum he was. SCQ could have done much worse..! Anyways I hope the best for him in the future.
I’m thinking if the lord god could use the entropy of the host and the task taker, why wouldn’t he tried to use the entropy of the scum gong? With CXC here, that might earn him a really high amount of energy.
Wow… The real Shen seriously hammered in the regret points there at the end, even after taking control back over his body. That must’ve felt good.
CXC give us a nice quote: ” Walk slowly on the road, there are a lot of good people in this world.” I agree. I look forward to more of his quote. It’s good life quotes…..
Finally able to move on….
Thanks for another chapter!
you know the best part about this novel, nothing about it is cliche and it feels real. No unnecessary forgiveness to scum gong and the original people who actually suffered get a new lease on life. Their pain and memories are not rewritten or forgotten, but they do get the courage and strength to forge ahead.
*Quietly sits in awe.*
_Whispers_ “I want to make stories as awesome as this…”
Aaaaah, I’m so worried about Chi Xiaochi!
But I’m glad things will be looking up for Shen Changqing.Also, that guy with his hello kitty note…. my heart just melted. D’awwww.
“One of the most tragic things in this world was a warrior who slayed dragons becoming an evil dragon“
Touched….
And what a great ending. Thank you for translating this great story
That stamp collection. Surnamed Zhou is so obsessed about it. Why? Only because it was left behind by his father and he collected some seemingly highly expensive ones? So in the end it’s just because it’s money? Or what?
Well, based on his obsession about his face and company (power), it seems reasonable for him to care so deeply about this stamp-money.. but still, I’m unable to understand the fact, that out of all he had lost through our MC, only this made him despair and cry…?
I was also wondering about that and came to the comments to see if anyone made a theory about it but nope. well he might have a backstory with his father there but I guess author didn’t think a scum’s story was that important xd
after reading your reply and my own comment again, I went back to read about the stamp collection. It seems Surnamed Zhou really treasures the stamp collection inherited from his father and made it his hobby.
He purchased and collected more stamps, some of them rare treasures (highly expensive as mentioned in Chapter 27.1) and therefore he seems to be… I don’t know, obsessed with them?
Thinking back.. A materialistic person like him, after loosing his wealth and company should mentally be near a breakdown. Confronted with his precious collection being destroyed in front of him, … Well, someone like him would really break down.
Shen Changqing getting his life back is such a beautiful moment. Love the end. Thanks for translating 😊
Ah! This was so satisfying, my God! I was waiting for that stamp album! WAITING! I can’t believe I feel this satisfied. It’s be a long time since a story has made my heart swell. I’m floored with emotions that I can’t even properly express them. I am thoroughly enjoying every second of this. I never want this story to end OMG.
In all honesty i wasn’t expecting such heavy drama for the title, that i cried. The revenge of Shen Changqing was so beautiful and fitting, i can’t wait to read and catch up to everything.
I feel so happy for this guy, it’s so hard to leave from an abusive relationship.
This is really satisfying but this make it more fucked up thinking those other body getting killed by some other host like the resentment and anger they feel is still there but the host just make the same mistake as the original body did and just kill itself so the regret level can rise.
I’m really happy that CXC did this and fullfill their wishes. Damn i feel bad for those who just died again they finally feel hope but in the end it’s just the same. I hope they found out that pig brain is scheming something that lil shit needs to die.
Stamps = Chekhov’s gun. 🙂
I love it 😻 this end … but as a collector I need to say in the moment he destroyed the stamp collection … that break my heart 💔💔… that’s was his best revenge
CXC really is so admirable – everything he did for Shen Changqing, the last words he left – he’s so wise and big-hearted
That ending is so good to read. I myself still don’t know why people like dead things.
This…woah.
This story really open up my eyes qwq
I like cliches, but I love unique takes of the characters like this even more.
It’s a bit of a pity that the requirement for completing the task is not a repentance ‘regret’ points, but surely that kind of regret will make the task a lot of times harder than this :’>
Thanks for the chapter! 🍀
So satisfying! Take that, Zhou Kai!
I really hope CXC can one day give help a hug, like he said… What if he met all the mc’s of each world? Haha, just kidding… Unless?
When SCQ ripped that stamp book, as a very poor piggy, my heart hurts when I remember it’s worth millions. But when I remember that pest, ZK’s face who can’t poop properly… Good riddance😚
I’m so happy. I’m so happy for Shen Changqing. I’m so happy for Help.
Thank you for the chapter!
“Walk slowly on the road, there are a lot of good people in this world.”
I felt it.
I feel bad for the stamps… It’s a pity they were lost because of sh**mountain’s affection to them.
Thank you, this arc was heartbreaking, without the sweetness of the ML, it would be a torture to read!
Ahhhh that was a nice ending for this arc Im glad SCG did his own revenge and finally enjoyed his second chance in life 💞But I got to say one of the thing that I appreciate from this arc is the random stranger showing kindness to SCQ from the doctor to that restaurant owner and that lil’ hello kitty sticky note with those words Im🥺🥺🥺 I really like that
“Walk slowly on the road, there are a lot of good people in this world.”
What an awesome ending…. Xiao Shen pls be happy sweetheart
A lil terrified for the next world… that pig brain better stop his schemes!!!
“In life, Mister Zhou was also a man with dignity, let’s all spit on him before we leave.”
So precious remark ever ✨
As a collector, I say, poor stamps. They had a scummy owner and got ripped TvT
My heart kinda hurt for them 🙁 may rest in pieces and got a better owner in the next life
These contracted people all deserve the love they can get. ><
Also that trash pig brain really pissess me off but I’m glad that CXC already have his suspicion.
Thanks for the chap!
spit spit spit spit all those disgusting things he did that entered my brain
Feeeeelss so goooood
Always love the feeling when the real owner came back and see their loved ones after waking up. It always made me cry.
Also am laughing so hard at the author’s note HAHAHAHAHA.
Pei! This reader expresses that this scum man truly recieved his just desserts!
Hhhhh this was definitely one of my most memorable scenes from this arc, I’m so glad She Changqing has grown up and matured, and I’m literally so glad that the stamps were torn apart, Ive been waiting for this scene for like forever. Thank you for the arc!
So sweet to let the host deliver the stamp-rage. Wonder if he went to Melbourne?
Poor stamps.. they didn’t deserve it 🙁 should’ve donate them to others or just sell
So satisfying! I’m proud of them (・∀・)
burning it would be more satisfying lmao
I love this T^T Yes author I will spit to!! Pei pei pei
That ripping off those stamps really felt great.. All the best for Shen Changqing in the future..
Here’s my spit 🤮🤮🤮 goodfuckingbye, swear word heh
It feels like those relaxing videos ( ◜‿◝ )
“Let’s all spit on him before we leave” LMAOOOOOOO
I always skip this arc when I do a reread just bc it’s so painful for me, but the end of it is always so satisfying I can’t help but read this last chapter before moving on to the next 😭👌👌
Thanks for the translation. This arc has been really good
