Chapter 10
“You can hang me up, torture me, if this can make you feel a little better. You can do whatever you want.”

Su Shi helplessly pulled up the corner of his lips. He forcefully straightened his body and spoke openly, making the low-sound words as clear and legible as possible.
“I will make a bet with you. In three days, if he does not return, you can kill me. But before that, you must not be impulsive, you must be stable…”
He finally ran out of strength. Su Shi’s voice grew weak and his arm fell down limply. His eyes slowly closed.
Al instinctively caught the toppling body, but ended up pulling back when he was scalded by the other’s fever. He looked at the young man who usually called the shots. “Carter, what do we do?”
“Just do what he said. Look after him well. I am going to appease everyone’s emotional state.”
Carter struggled for a long while, but he made a decision, turned, and walked out the door.
When Su Shi woke up again, he was suspended from the wooden beam.
The wound on his shoulder has long gone numb. His suspended arms have also lost all feeling. Su Shi blinked his eyes. Just as he was becoming skeptical about his own valiant disregard for pain, the sound of deduction of experience points rang in his ears.
“If the host’s pain value is detected to be too high, host will be injected with a special effect anesthetic agent. After deducting fifty experience points, the effective time is twenty-four hours. Thank you for your patronage. We look forward to continue serving you in the future.”
……
In this kind of situation, he really did need that kind of anesthetic, but to take advantage of his unconsciousness to force him to buy it, this system was still a complete profiteer.

Su Shi sighed lightly, waited out a wave of dizziness, and tried to use his arm as a pillow.
The sound of swaying chains alarmed the youngster who was guarding by the door. The child, who was no taller than his shoulders, actually cast a cold glare at him.
Su Shi’s lips twitched. He gave up the idea of drinking water and closed his eyes once again with relief.
In any case, as long as he was being tortured, then he could temporarily transfer and alleviate the anger of these people. In this way, he could continue to delay…
He was struggling to think about Wayne’s plans when a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the window.
It didn’t seem like there was any danger or sudden change. If he listened carefully, he could even hear the sound of joyful cheers.
The teenager jumped up, wanting to take a look, but then he remembered his duties and quickly withdrew the arm that was about to open the door.
“Go and take a look.”
Seeing the oppressed expectation in the eyes of the youngster, Su Shi spoke up in a light voice and smiled at him with encouragement.
Su Shi’s voice was hoarse from disuse and came out in a breathy whisper. The youngster’s face went taut, and he turned towards Su Shi on full alert. “Traitor, I won’t fall for your tricks!”
Su Shi smiled helplessly, sighed lightly, and leaned his head towards one side.
The noise outside seemed to have died down.

Then the sound of rushing footsteps came from outside the door. Su Shi blinked in confusion and subconsciously raised his head. Just then, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open.
He was met with a pair of eyes burning with blazing flames.
Wayne’s chest rose and fell quickly. He strode forward in large strides without a pause. He unlocked the manacles around Daniel’s wrists.
He still arrived late.
With the help of the lieutenant, he successfully tricked Terence’s men with a fake death. They secretly rushed him out of the presidential palace. After waking up, he rushed back here without rest. Yet he still came back to the sight of Daniel strung up before him. The man was so pale that he looked like he would disappear on him in the next breath.
The broken body was unable to hold itself upright for even the shortest amount of time. Once Su Shi was let down, he slumped against the other man’s body without any prior indication.
Wayne’s hands trembled so badly that he almost didn’t know how to hold the person in his arms. It was as if he would break the other person with the slightest wrong move. He just hugged him carefully, crouched down on the ground, and told him to lie in his arms.
Daniel’s body was so cold that Wayne was afraid. If it weren’t for the bright light in his eyes, he almost thought that the person in his arms had no life.
Very good. He finally brushed up against a good mission node.
Abruptly, the relaxed body quickly lost the last of its strength. Su Shi could no longer speak. He blinked his eyes with relief, and his eyebrows finally curved into a happy expression.
In this way, he would leave the world while wrapped in the protagonist’s arms. No matter how one looked upon the scene it was tragic and beautiful. Everything was fine except for losing the misunderstanding of the protagonist, but it could still be considered a perfect ending.
As if he understood the relief in his eyes, Wayne grasped Su Shi’s hand, held his breath, and shook his head in denial. His eyes looked like they were reddening.
Su Shi creased his eyebrows apologetically, and finally could not sustain himself anymore. He lay weakly in Wayne’s embrace, his forehead resting against the other’s neck.
Sorry. I hadn’t wanted to make you sad.
His consciousness faded rapidly. In that hazy interval, Su Shi felt his body being embraced tightly. The strength wrapped around his body was so strong that it almost felt like his body would shatter.
Almost. He was almost at the end. Once his life force completely disappeared, he would achieve the result of carrying the blame until death. Then he could leave this world with peace of mind.
His health bar has dropped to thirty percent. A muffled voice echoed faintly in his ear, cut off and broken.
“Do all of you know what he has done…”
Author’s Corner
苏时：稍等，再抢救一下。 :）
Su Shi: Wait a moment, then rescue. 🙂
Translator’s Note:
Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. One reason is due to lack of time, but the other reason is I don’t understand what the author is saying! ? I think this author has really flowery prose (or maybe just bad grammar), because I have a hard time puzzling out most of her sentences. Since it takes me longer to decipher the meaning of the text, it takes me longer to translate one chapter of LMSTB than it does to translate one chapter of my other projects. I wish I could translate this story faster, because I really love the MC and ML’s relationship, but I’m sorry my best is still slow. ORZ I’ll keep trying though! Fighting!
Yesssssss I freaking missed this.
Thank you sooooo much for the chapter, and I know what you mean, I tried to MTL this novel but it was just so difficult to understandd I gave up.
We appreciate your hard work! Fighting!
Thank you. I really appreciate your understanding and support!
Ah! So close! It’s finally time to earn that title and summary ? ? ?
Neh, if he makes sure he dies right before Wayne gets the words out, he’ll still get points ne~? Ganbatte Su Shi! Fight-O! ┗(＾∀＾)┛ᕙ( ^ ₒ^ c)
Lol XD
Yup, you’re right. But I doubt Wayne is going to let him die that easily. Hehehe
I learn their relationship too. It’s too awwwwwww. Anyway, fighting!
*love
I hope he will be misunderstood till the end, I don’t want him to lose his points
It’s been a long while since I’ve read the last chapter, but it’s still very good! MC is very smart and a great actor!
Thank you so much for the chapter!!!
translator-sensei, fight-o!
Fight-o! ୧(๑ ⁼̴̀ᐜ⁼̴́๑)૭
MC not getting the chance to get to take the blame to death, huh? Thanks for the chapter.
Lol oh no! Wayne might undo everything Su Shi carefully planned hhhhh… wonder if Su Shi will succeed or not.
;;;must be hard being a translator… some things just don’t sound quite right in another language, or it might have different meanings than you’d expect. Best of luck to you! Thanks for translating!
Yes, you understand perfectly. (❁°͈▵°͈)
Thank you for your support!
Fight! You have all my support and patience. Thanks a lot for the chapter.
Thank you, your support and patience mean a lot. Especially since I’m a fellow reader I understand the desire for more content.
I swear,
I need to have another chapter or I’m going to explode from the cliffhanger. Damn it I love these kind of books?
( any recommendations greatly appreciated )
Anyway. Thank you so much translator for this beautiful work.
Thanks for the chapter
Fighting!
Their relationship is beautiful~
The other tries to complete the mission while the other tries to save him :”(
Thank you for the chapter!
Phew! I thought this was abandoned!
Not abandoned yet, your translator is just a turtle. >_<
Poor Su Shi is trying so hard to die as a villain, but the protagonist won’t let him! XD
The one novel that never loses novelty, I’ve been waiting for months and it was worth it. Keep up the hard work, translator, you’re doing a great job on this great novel
Thank you, yours words of encouragement mean a lot. ^-^
Poor baby Su Shi, trying so hard but the protagonist won’t let him succeed lol.
Thank you sooo much for TL this!! I really love this novel and can’t wait for more!

I have been waiting for months, thought this novel had been dropped.
But after this recent chapter I keep a lookout every day for an update.
You are an angel for not dropping this, and I know it’s probably very confusing to translate one language to another. Thanking slow but cute turtle translator.
Fighting! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
Your loyal reader.
? Slow and steady wins the race. But I’ll try to be less slow and more steady. ?
Thank you for the TL ! You worked hard ??
I really missed this novel so I was really happy when I saw it on novel updates again ^^
omg I really love the angst on the Wayne’s side tho I love pain ??? definitely worth the wait ??
Look at this point I am even willing to PAY to get the next chapters.
Man this really looks so much fun but we only have 10 ch. (ಥ﹏ಥ)
I understand you don’t have much time, and translating is hard. So thank you for working hard.
Can’t wait for the next update. ｡◕‿‿◕｡
Su Shi: “Finally…*gasp* I’m almost done!”
Wayne: “Do all of you know what he has done?…”
Su Shi: “Wait, what!? No…
Noooooooooo!!!!”?
Lol. You’re not quite done yet, Su Shi. XD
Hahaha poor Su Shi. So close, but a protagonist who believes in you is a terribly efficient force to contend with.
Yup. We don’t call it the “protagonist halo” for nothing. LOL XD
pfft it just occurred to me that in a new turn of events this series will be the MC desperately trying to DETACH himself from the protagonist’s thigh XD
Ahahaha, so true ?
ahhhh a cliffie!! thanks for the update

Just when Su Shi thought he’s finally getting his points. Poor you! Better luck next world Su Shi! ♥️
Wayne, su shi was about to peacefully pass on…. At least wait a few seconds before spilling the beans? Give the passing man his points, he’s worked his ass of pretending to be an all powerful marshall when he haven’t got training?
Thank you so much translator! You’ve worked so hard to translate this and I’m so glad you’re still continuing this. ♥️
That last line fucking killed me.
I could literally see mc points fly away.
Nooooooo I’m crying!!!! Did he really just die??? Nooo this is so sad I wanted them to spend more moments together 🙁
Thank you for your hard work!
