## Recap

Shen Qingqiu stopped Luo Binghe in order to ask why he turned right, as opposed to the left where the dorms and the woodshed were. Luo Binghe admitted that he wanted to prepare Shen Qingqiu’s breakfast ahead of time. After a moment of debate, his consciousness won out over his stomach, and he insisted that Luo Binghe go back to sleep. Shen Qingqiu wondered for a bit if Luo Binghe was still sleeping in the woodshed, but instead of asking, he simply told Luo Binghe to pack his things and report to the Bamboo House, and that he could move into the side room starting tomorrow. He was so caught up in scheming how to get Luo Binghe to do his cooking and cleaning easier that he failed to see his reaction, and was thus unprepared when Luo Binghe pounced on him.

Luo Binghe hugged him tightly around the neck, calling out “shizun” over and over. Having never been full-body hugged around the neck like this, Shen Qingqiu floundered over where to put his hand, before coming to pet hair and admonish him for how this must look since Luo Binghe is no longer a child. Hearing that, Luo Binghe reluctantly pulled himself away and admitted he overstepped, though he also realized at that moment just how sickly Shen Qingqiu looked from not having rested. He reluctantly said goodbye and took a detour to the kitchens, and Shen Qingqiu got 50 more protagonist satisfaction points from The System.

The next day, Luo Binghe gave a delicious breakfast to Shen Qingqiu and received affectionate praise in return, and moved in later that evening. Ming Fan and the other disciples on Qing Jing were filled with jealousy, resentment, and shock over snooping on these events. When Luo Binghe went to bed that night, it was on a real bed for the first time, and he felt floaty about that and sleeping in the same house as Shen Qingqiu. Meng Mo didn’t show up that night, but he did show up a few days later. Meng Mo asks his choice, and after Luo Binghe affirms, the elder demon declares that today will be the beginning of his meteoric rise. Luo Binghe said he had one more request, and Meng Mo rushed him so that he could become his apprentice faster. It turns out, his request was that he didn’t want to officially recognize a master that wasn’t Shen Qingqiu. Meng Mo said that he wouldn’t demand it and that it was fine, though he was filled with rage at how he came out of this with an awful deal.

After that point, time and years passed easily. Shen Qingqiu spent his days pleasantly, whether he was playing guqin, sparring with Liu Qingge, or reporting work to Yue Qingyuan, idling away. Then one day, he received a gilded invitation to the Immortal Alliance Conference, an event he had forgotten about, and realized the first major climax in the plot was on the horizon. Shen Qingqiu reflects on how the Immortal Alliance Conference operates, and how Airplane abandoned his moral principles after that plot point in Proud Immortal Demon Way. He then insists that the only reason he kept reading until the end, even after that point, was because of the demonic beasts. Soon, he noted that he would be facing those monsters very soon.

## Changes Between Versions

### The Faelicy/Lily Translation (January 2020 version)

#### Larger Changes

* When questioning why he received extra points, Shen Qingqiu expresses disbelief about what the reason may have been, and that disbelief is different across the translations. In the Faelicy translation:

> Anyway, there was no way his capital had been increased because of a single hug, hahahahahaha…
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation:

> To the point, there was no way his admittedly great self had earned that fifty with a single hug, ha ha ha ha ha ha…
>
>

#### Smaller Changes

* The side room of the Bamboo House is noted to be outside of the house in the Faelicy translation and in the house in the Seven Seas translation.
* When Luo Binghe hugs him, Shen Qingqiu describes that he is a youth brimming with “awesomeness” in the Faelicy translation and “tyrannical energy” in the Seven Seas translation.

### The (CNoveluv) WorshipperA Translation (August 2017 version)

#### Larger Changes

* The comparison that Shen Qingqiu uses to describe his adaptability is different across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation, he thinks:

> Shen Qingqiu felt that his own self-adjustment ability broke through the skies a bit.
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation, he thinks:

> Shen Qingqiu’s adaptability was, as always, as incredible as a record-breaking dick.
>
>

* Before Shen Qingqiu asks if Luo Binghe is embarrassed by hugging him, there is part of a line that is in the Seven Seas translation that has no equivalent in the WorshipperA translation:

> You’ve cried out to me, hugged me, and made all this racket
>
>

* Shen Qingqiu’s life goal is described as “while away life and wait for death” in the WorshipperA translation and “idling away to a ripe old age” in the Seven Seas translation
* Shen Qingqiu describes Proud Immortal Demon Way after the Immortal Alliance Conference arc in slightly different ways across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation:

> The reason for the rise didn’t just start from here. Great God Airplane Towards the Sky abandoned what original moral integrity he had left and sent up like a surging tide to readers a steel-wrought protagonist and sisters as graceful as water, great segments of presentable writing and all kinds of descriptions that let your face turn red in excitement, and also one important reason. It was also the important reason why Shen Qingqiu stuck through reading to the end.
> That was the confusing setting!
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation:

> It wasn’t only because from that point forward, “Great Master” Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky abandoned the last of his already minimal moral principles and poured woman upon woman into the story, adding interminable sections of titillating descriptions and blush-inducing, barely legal passages one after another—there was another important “it” factor. It was, in fact, the main element that had first compelled Shen Qingqiu to follow the novel until the end.
> The demonic beasts!
>
>

#### Smaller Changes

* The side room of the Bamboo House is noted to be outside of the house in the WorshipperA translation and in the house in the Seven Seas translation.
* Shen Qingqiu describes Luo Binghe’s hug as “bear hug” in the WorshipperA translation and “full-bodied embrace” in the Seven Seas translation, though both note that Luo Binghe hugs him around the neck.
* In both translations, Shen Qingqiu’s interaction with the dream demon is noted to have made his appearance unwell, but in just the Seven Seas translation, its noted that that interaction was “because of Luo Binghe.”
* After wondering if the System gave him points because of the hug, Shen Qingqiu refers to himself as “this old man” in the WorshipperA translation and “his admittedly great self” in the Seven Seas translation.
* Shen Qingqiu “was picky about Luo Binghe not making a meal delicious enough” in the WorshipperA translation and “occasionally nitpicked Luo Binghe’s food” in the Seven Seas translation.
* Shen Qingqiu says he forgot about the Immortal Alliance Conference in both translation, but in the WorshipperA translation he says he “almost” forgot.
* According to Shen Qingqiu, in Proud Immortal Demon Way, Luo Binghe married “(countless) white beauties” in the WorshipperA translation and “every ideal woman” in the Seven Seas translation.
* Shen Qingqiu notes that, in Proud Immortal Demon Way, Airplane mixed up “Qi Refining or Nascent Soul periods” in the WorshipperA translation and “Foundation Establishment or Nascent Soul stages.”
