## Recap

Qin Wanyue limped along due to a monster injury, apologizing to Luo Binghe for being a burden on him, which Luo Binghe demurred. Shen Qingqiu knew that he was behind on points due to defending the weaker disciples, as was expected of someone with the white lotus mindset. Yue Qingyuan commented on how great of a moral character Luo Binghe had, which Qi Qingqi noted was shocking due to Shen Qingqiu of all people being his master. Others insincerely praised him as well, though they thought he was being childish. Notably, the Old Palace Master was shocked at the sight of Luo Binghe, shocked at the resemblance he had to his long dead disciple, Su Xiyan. He had no idea they were related, though.

Meanwhile Luo Binghe was contemplating what to do about the lingering disciples, not wanting to abandon them but wishing to use the Immortal Alliance conference to win honor for Shen Qingqiu. One of those disciples, Qin Wanyue, is noted by Shen Qingqiu to be the one who Luo Binghe in the original novel lost his virginity to, and how she was frequently a victim of harem politics, like how Sha Hualing would tear into her. When Shen Qingqiu thought about those disciples following Luo Binghe around, about how they were incompetent yet refused to back out, and how a fully blackened Luo Binghe would have killed them all, he grew annoyed about how they were taking advantage of his kindness.

Despite Luo Binghe effortlessly killing all the monsters in their path, they still couldn’t speed up, as shown by how Qin Wanrong started crying and complaining about how badly her feet hurt. Worried about Luo Binghe’s obvious annoyance, Qin Wanyue tried to get her to calm down, but Qin Wanrong kept complaining. At this complaining, the other low level disciples agreed with her. Shen Qingqiu was derisive of these complaints, saying if he had been in charge he would have kicked them out, especially compared to Liu Mingyan. At that though, he noted there was nothing he really could do, since both sisters were future members of Luo Binghe’s harem, so nothing could happen to them anyways.

Qin Wanyue pointed out to her sister about how they were making trouble for Luo Binghe, and it’s noted how she wants to stay on his good side in order to rely on him and make a name for herself in the Immortal Alliance Conference. Failing to read the room, Qin Wanrong insisted that Luo Binghe was a good person and wouldn’t mind, completely missing the look that made her sister shiver in fear in favor of going to play in a nearby lake. Following her lead, the crowd of disciples joined her in playing in the lake, ignoring Luo Binghe’s warnings of the dangers that he called from a distance away. Shen Qingqiu noted that his distance away was odd, since in the original novel, he had been closer for a textbook foot fetish material scene courtesy of Airplane. The other sect leaders watching from the crystal mirrors were shocked at the audacity, but Shen Qingqiu was just shocked Luo Binghe was missing the plot.

Qin Wanyue took the chance to approach Luo Binghe and apologize on behalf of the others, using the excuse that it was their first Immortal Conference and that Luo Binghe should just leave them if he felt burdened. It’s noted that she bit her lip while acting loving and pitiful, and that combined with her tearful expression were wildly insincere, but that any man with any virtue would find himself unable to leave her. Luo Binghe never gets a chance to respond, since screaming starts coming from the creek. Of the five or six disciples that were playing, Qin Wanrong and another had been swept under by something that had turned the water black. As she did, Shen Qingqiu complained about how Luo Binghe could have prevented it had he been closer to the plot earlier, and how now the grand threesome of him and the Qin Sisters can’t happen in the future. He also notes how he didn’t actually expect a future harem member to manage to get herself killed.

Luo Binghe starts trying to drag disciples out of the creek, but one gets swallowed by the water and disappears before everyone’s eyes. Black smog billowed over the creek, though it was actually hair-like strands that were seeping blood into the waters. As someone on the dais identified, it was a Nu Yuan Chan, a monster from the demon realm, which Luo Binghe was also able to identify. The hair billowed for a while before seeming to burp, ejected three corpses that had been sucked clean of flesh and blood, with the pores on their bodies abnormally large and still being sucked dry of remaining spiritual energy by many strands of hair. The scene scared the disciples witless, and upon seeing her sister’s corpse, Qin Wanyue almost fainted. Luckily, she was smart enough not to do so, since no one would have helped her escape if she had.

## Changes Between Versions

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

#### Larger Changes

* Qin Wanyue’s impression on Shen Qingqiu is said to be because she “helped give Luo Binghe a breakthrough” in the Faelicy translation and because of her “role in helping Luo Binghe lose his virginity” in the Seven Seas translation.

#### Smaller Changes

* Ming Fan’s ranking is described as “not bad” in the Faelicy translation and “higher than Luo Binghe right now” in the Seven Seas translation.
* The disciples following Luo Binghe around are described as “weak” in the Faelicy translation and “vulnerable” in the Seven Seas translation.
* Luo Binghe is noted to be “throwing down” Qin Wanyue as he rushes to the creek in the Faelicy translation and that he “shoved past” her in the Seven Seas translation.

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

#### Larger Changes

* After Yue Qingyuan compliments Luo Binghe, there’s different lines between his statement and Qi Qingqi’s response. In the WorshipperA translation, the line is:

> Whether it was from the reader’s perspective or Shizun’s perspective, the early stage Luo Binghe’s white lotus level indeed met the standard.
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation, the line is:

> Shen Qingqiu smiled behind his open fan, quietly accepting the compliment.
>
>

* Qin Wanyue, as well as her appearances and actions in the original novel, are described differently across the translations. The WorshipperA translation, which mentions her opinion on harem drama as well as Sha Hualing causing her a miscarriage:

> Though she wasn’t much help to the protagonist’s undertaking of killing and dominating the Three Realms, she was a warm and gentle person who didn’t like infighting in the harem. What man wouldn’t like such a sister?
>
>
> Shen Qingqiu wouldn’t say: Sha Hualing and Luo Binghe’s main wife living together, all the day contending for his affections and scheming, harming this person and framing another; he’d seen enough several tens of chapters of these kinds of scenes to annoy him to death. Shua shua shua and he directly turned the pages over.
>
>
> The labor of reading was meant for a supernatural novel, not a pretty woman’s biography!
>
>
>
> I’d rather watch you spend a hundred thousand words to describe how the ghost-headed spider is bred than watch how Sha Hualing made Qin Wanyue have a miscarriage. Thank you!
>
>

Compared to the Seven seas translation, which mentions how she helped Lup Bonghe lose his virginity, as well as her role as a victim in harem politics:

> There was the first maiden to sleep with Luo Binghe! Qin Wanyue, the graceful and subdued little shimei!
>
>
> The biggest impression this maiden had left on Shen Qingqiu was her role in helping Luo Binghe lose his virginity. Later, her role was to be a victim in the constant harem intrigue. Only someone as…special as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky could manage to occasionally write a stallion novel’s harem more in the flavor of The Legend of Zhen Huan.
>
>
>
> I’d rather read ten thousand words describing how ghost-head spiders mate than read about Sha Hualing tearing into Qin Wanyue! Thank you!
>
>

* After the line about there being a parade of people tailing Luo Binghe like he’s their savior, there’s a line in the WorshipperA translation that’s not in the Seven Seas translation:

> Luo Binghe was helpless, but was unable to be cold and chase them away.
>
>

* After Qin Wanyue tells Qin Wanrong that they’re causing problems for Luo Binghe there is a line about Qin Wanyue in the Seven Seas translation that is not in the WorshipperA translation:

> She still wanted to rely on Luo Binghe and try to make a name for herself in the Immortal Alliance Conference and earn some reputation. If her sister foolishly annoyed Luo Binghe, it would go badly for her.
>
>

* The line about how the disciples are chatting and laughing in the creek has a section in the Seven Seas translation that is not mentioned in the WorshipperA translation.

> Luo Binghe pleaded with the disciples
>
>

* Before Shen Qingqiu questions why Luo Binghe isn’t going to play in the creek, there is a line in the WorshipperA translation that has no equivalent in the Seven Seas translation:

> Though he was given an immunity shot in the form of the original work, when this scene actually happened in front of his eyes, Shen Qingqiu was also drunk with disbelief.
>
>

* After Qin Wanyue apologizes for Qin Wanrong by saying it’s her first Immortal Alliance Conference, the end of the apology is different across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation, it ends with:

> She knew her own family’s little sister was behaving like quite an exotic flower. She bit her lips, looking very pitiable.
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation, it end with:

> he bit her lip like she was making an excruciating decision. “If Luo-shixiong feels burdened, leave us and go. It’s all right…”
>
>

* After Qin Wanyue's apology but before the monster attack starts, there is a line in the Seven Seas translation that is not in WorshipperA translation:

> These words, together with that expression on the verge of tears, were wildly insincere. But after hearing her plea, any man with a bare minimum of virtue would find himself unable to do as she suggested.
>
>

* Shen Qingqiu’s reaction to the disciples and Qin Wanrong, a “future harem member,” dying is worded differently across the translations. In the WorshipperA translation, he thinks:

> Young people, don’t forget, the number one cool point among the cool points of “Proud Immortal Demon Way”: Those who are going to be made dead, will definitely die!
> Only this time, Shen Qingqiu would have never expected that the Qin Wanrong little sister who became part of the protagonist’s harem would! Make! Herself! Dead! Like! This!
>
>

And in the Seven Seas translation, he thinks:

> Moreover, despite everything, he’d never thought that a member of the protagonist’s harem could actually get herself killed.
>
>

* After Luo Binghe starts pulling disciples out of the river, there is a line in the WorshipperA translation that is not present in the Seven Seas translation:

> It was better to get them out of danger before anything else
>
>

#### Smaller Changes

* In the WorshipperA translation, Qin Wanyue apologizes for Luo Binghe saving her specifically, and how she specifically is troubling him. In the Seven Seas translation, she instead apologizes for him saving them, as a group, not just herself.
* Luo Binghe’s response to Qin Wanyue’s initial apologies is described as “very sincere in his response” in the WorshipperA translation and “eminently proper” in the Seven Seas translation.
* When Yue Qingyuan praises Luo Binghe’s character to Shen Qingqiu, its noted that he “laughingly said” it in the WorshipperA translation and “smiled” in the Seven Seas translation.

* Before describing the state of the disciples following Luo Binghe, the WorshipperA translation has the line “Shen Qingqiu’s heart was very happy. The Luo Binghe right now was warm and honest but not easy to fool.” This line in the Seven Seas translation is instead “Shen Qingqiu grew unhappy.”
* The disciples playing in the river with Luo Binghe in the original is noted to be because of Airplane’s “unkillable secret desires” in the WorshipperA translation and “selfish desire to write fanservice” in the Seven Seas translation.
* Qin Wanyue, as Luo Binghe shoves past her, is described as “flowerlike” in the WorshipperA translation and with “whose beautiful face had lost all color” in the Seven Seas translation.
* The person on the dais who announces that the monster is Nu Yuan Chan is noted to be Yue Qingyuan in the WorshipperA translation and “someone” in the Seven Seas translation.
* The Nu Yuan Chan’s special ability is described to be “The ability to get in through any opening” in the WorshipperA translation and “Leaving no pore uninvaded, diving into any opening it could find” in the Seven Seas translation.
