Translator: Guy Gone Bad

One ridiculous night
When Su Bei woke up, he only felt the whole body was in a huge pain.
Of course, this was still light, the most painful thing was from the back.

Mu Qinghan was already gone. He was really a big villain! An asshole! Son of a bitch!

748 thoughtfully updated the latest progress, “Captivating bar increased by 5%, current progress 11%.”
Su Bei gave the system his middle finger. He even sacrificed his own body, the system told him that it had only increased by 5%?!
Enough is enough!
Su Bei struggled to get up and decided to flee.
He felt that the captivating thing was very unsafe. It was possible that he might have been killed by a slight turn of Mu Qinghan.
Su Bei dragged his body to the door with difficulty. As he just opened the door, he looked right into Mu Qinghan’s face wearing a fake smile.
It feels really awful!
Although Mu Qinghan restored the appearance of a smiling tiger (this is a slang in Chinese which means a friendly-looking villain or something like that), Su Bei felt at the moment his smile was ever more terrifying.
The word creepy was already not enough to describe him. Anyway now Su Bei only felt his legs already turned into jelly.
He pretended to be calm and asked, “Is there any news from the palace?”
Mu Qinghan squinted, “I thought Your Majesty wouldn’t care about this.”
Silent murderous atmosphere was spreading.
See? Su Bei’s intuition was right. It was possible he would die in Mu Qinghan’s hands today.
Seeing Su Bei say nothing, Mu Qinghan’s eyes flashed a hint of brutality.

So, is this the purpose of Su Bei?
To humiliate him or what?
Mu Qinghan squeezed Su Bei’s neck, saying with an indifferent tone, “When did you drug me?”
Su Bei’s face reddened, yelling, “How would I know!?”
It was all because of the system.
Mu Qinghan stared into Su Bei’s eyes, which were totally aboveboard.
Then there were only two possibilities. One was that he was not lying, and the other was that he was too good at pretending.
Mu Qinghan had never had close physical contact with anyone, only knew that the moment Su Bei kissed on his lips, all his sense was gone, except the animal-like instinct.
The more ridiculous thing was he had sex with a man!
After he saw Su Bei yesterday, it seemed that everything had become kind of not right.
Mu Qinghan’s eyes became more terrible. He let go of his hand, Su Bei collapsed to the ground.
Then he jumped up due to the huge pain from the back door, face twisted.

Mu Qinghan stretched out a hand and stroked Su Bei’s cheek.
Long fingers rubbing Su Bei’s chin, increasing the strength, heavy enough to make Su Bei feel as if his skin had been rubbed off.
After determining something or what, Mu Qinghan withdrew his hand, eyes full of disgust, “What you did to me, I will find it out!”
Su Bei touched his own burning chin, feeling aggrieved.
He was the one who had been taken advantage of, OK? To him, it was good for nothing.
If he ever asked the system for help again, he’d give himself a hard slap!
The dark guard couldn’t bear to see this, and directly appeared in front of Su Bei, “Your Majesty, I have found the thing you wanted.”
Su Bei put on a stern face, asking while bearing the huge pain, “What is it?”
The dark guard said in a neither servile nor supercilious way, “The eunuch that cleans the royal study has a close relationship with Lu Jinyao’s handmaid.”
Eunuch? Maid? He blurted out.” How close?”
Dark guard gave Su Bei a strange look, “Very close.”
Su Bei coughed a bit, “I know. Go on investigating.”
After the dark guard left, Su Bei moved his body, letting his numb feet get back, “You also heard that. It’s quite possible that Lu Jinyao is related to the missing of your sister’s body.”
Mu Qinghan’s eyes lightly flashed. Lu Jinyao, the smug woman he met in the imperial garden?
