lín xuān kǔ sī zhe tuō shēn zhī cè ， wú qiǎo bù qiǎo ， duì fāng de dì yī bō gōng jī ， què shì cóng shào huā bàn zhī zhōng suǒ sàn fà chū lái de xiāng qì ， biǎo miàn shàng lìng rén xīn kuàng shén yí ， qí shí què shì kě lìng rén hún fēi pò sàn de dōng xī 。
林轩苦思着脱身之策，无巧不巧，对方的第一波攻击，却是从邵花瓣之中所散发出来的香气，表面上令人心旷神怡，其实却是可令人魂飞魄散的东西。
Lin Xuan pondered his escape strategy, and it just so happened that the first wave of attacks came from the fragrance emitted by Shao Petal. While this aroma seemed to soothe the mind, in reality, it was something that could send one's soul flying.
bǎi huā zhī dú ， zài líng jiè yě ràng rén tán zhī biàn sè 。
百花之毒，在灵界也让人谈之变色。
Poisons from flowers were also feared in the Spirit Realm.
rán ér lín xuān què xiū liàn yǒu bì huàn yōu huǒ ， běn shēn tóng yàng shì jué dú zhī wù ， duì yú gè zhǒng dú gōng ， dōu yǒu zhe jí hǎo de miǎn yì zuò yòng 。
然而林轩却修炼有碧幻幽火，本身同样是绝毒之物，对于各种毒功，都有着极好的免疫作用。
However, Lin Xuan had cultivated the Azure Illusion Profound Fire, which itself was an absolute antidote and provided excellent immunity against various toxic techniques.
dāng rán ， xīn yuè xiān zi nǎi líng jiè de dà rén wù ， àn lǐ shuō ， zhè bǎi huā zhī dú bì huàn yōu huǒ yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， kě duì fāng xiàn zài yě jǐn jǐn shì yuán yīng qī ， shī zhǎn de “ bǎi huā piāo xiāng zhèn ” bù zú quán shèng shí qī bǎi fēn zhī yī de wēi lì ， dú sù xiào guǒ ， zǎn rán yě dà wèi jiǎn ruò ， jǐn jǐn zhǐ yǒu líng jiè pí máo de shén tōng 。
当然，新月仙子乃灵界的大人物，按理说，这百花之毒碧幻幽火也抵挡不住，可对方现在也仅仅是元婴期，施展的“百花飘香阵”不足全盛时期百分之一的威力，毒素效果，昝然也大为减弱，仅仅只有灵界皮毛的神通。
Of course, Princess New Moon was a major figure in the Spirit Realm. According to logic, even her should be able to withstand the Azure Illusion Profound Fire. However, since she was only at the Core Formation Stage now, her "Floral Fragrance Array" was barely one percent of its full power, significantly weakening the toxin effects and leaving them little more than superficial abilities.
lín xuān suī rán yě gǎn dào xiē xǔ bù shì ， dàn ruò shuō xiǎng yào jiāng tā zhì fú ， zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， hái yuǎn bù gòu kàn de ……
林轩虽然也感到些许不适，但若说想要将他制伏，这种程度，还远不够看的……
Although Lin Xuan felt a slight discomfort, he didn't think this level of control would be enough to subdue him.
dàn tā xīn niàn diàn zhuǎn ， què guǒ jì jiù jì ， shùn shì hūn le guò qù 。 dòu zhì bù dòu lì !
但他心念电转，却椁计就计，顺势昏了过去。斗智不斗力!
Lin Xuan struck hard at Princess New Moon's abdomen with his Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Despite her Core Formation Stage status, she bent over from the impact.
lín xuān zuò xì de běn shì bù yòng zhì yí ， ér xīn yuè gōng zhǔ shén tōng suī rán xuán miào ， yǎn guāng què jǐn jǐn shì cài niǎo ， bù yí yǒu tā ， dāng jí shōu le zhèn fǎ 。
林轩做戏的本事不用质疑，而新月公主神通虽然玄妙，眼光却仅仅是菜鸟，不疑有他，当即收了阵法。
Not idle, Lin Xuan cast one禁制: prohibition, restriction after another, binding and cutting off her Spirit Energy.
lín xuān bù dòng shēng sè ， àn àn bǎ wò zhe shí jī ， yǎn kàn cǐ nǚ liǎn lù shā qì ， dāng jí qū shǐ qīng huǒ chōng pò sī wǎng ， cóng bèi hòu hěn hěn xiàng tā zhǎn qù 。
林轩不动声色，暗暗把握着时机，眼看此女脸露杀气，当即驱使青火冲破丝网，从背后狠狠像她斩去。
With a dozen or so consecutive restrictions in place, even an advanced Core Formation cultivator would be helpless. But Lin Xuan was still unsatisfied. After a moment of hesitation, he reached into his waistband and pulled out an jade box. Opening the lid, several golden talismans appeared.
xīn yuè gōng zhǔ guǒ rán cuò shǒu bù jí ， dàn tā de dùn shù què shí xuán miào wú bǐ ， suī xiǎn zhī yòu xiǎn ， nián hái shì duǒ kāi le gōng jī 。
新月公主果然措手不及，但她的遁术确实玄妙无比，虽险之又险，年还是躲开了攻击。
Lin Xuan stuck these onto Princess New Moon's body. The talismans flashed and transformed into large golden runes that sank into her flesh.
hǎo bù róng yì qiǎng zhàn xiān jī ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì jiāng zhè me bǎo guì de jī huì fàng qì ， gěi duì shǒu liú xià chuǎn qì zhī xī ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ jiāng jiǔ tiān huī bù shī zhǎn chū lái ， qī dào le duì shǒu de miàn qián 。
好不容易抢占先机，林轩自然不会将这么宝贵的机会放弃，给对手留下喘气之息，身形一闪，已将九天徽步施展出来，欺到了对手的面前。
In just a blink of an eye, all this was done. Despite being a respected figure in the Upper Realm, Princess New Moon had never experienced such pain before.
xīn yuè xiān zi liǎn sè kuáng biàn 。
新月仙子脸色狂变。
In combat between cultivators, it was usually secret techniques and magical artifacts. Yet, Lin Xuan used them freely, making him stand out even more.
tā wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào lín xuān yī yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán yǐ zhǎng wò le kōng jiān shén tōng ， gāng gāng nà mì shù ， jī hū yǐ bù xùn sè yú shùn yí le 。
她万万想不到林轩一元婴中期的修仙者，居然已掌握了空间神通，刚刚那秘术，几乎已不逊色于瞬移了。
With her abdomen bound by the Profound Rope, Princess New Moon's face turned green with rage as Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting one restriction after another.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， cǐ nǚ bù yóu de yǒu xiē jīng huāng shī cuò ， zhè yě shì dì jīng yàn bù zú ， xiǎng zài tuì tuō lái bù jí le 。
变起仓储，此女不由得有些惊慌失措，这也是地经验不足，想再退乇来不及了。
"Princess, you needn't entertain any侥幸: lucky chance," Lin Xuan said coldly. "Locked in by my treasures and subjected to seventeen or eight consecutive restrictions, along with soul-sealing talismans, if you can still break free, I might as well self-destruct."
xī lín xuān de fǎn yìng zé yào xùn sù dé duō ， shǒu zhǎng fān zhuǎn ， bì huàn yōu huǒ fú xiàn chū lái ， jiāng tā de yòu shǒu bāo guǒ ， hěn hěn de chōng zhe duì fāng de hù tǐ líng guāng qiè luò 。
西林轩的反应则要迅速得多，手掌翻转，碧幻幽火浮现出来，将他的右手包裹，狠狠的冲着对方的护体灵光切落。
"How do you plan on handling me?" Princess New Moon asked indifferently.
cī lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng lì hù dùn bèi yìng shēng shēng de sī pò ， běn lái zhè jiù tán bù shàng shén me gāo jí de fǎ shù ， jī hū shì xiū shì suǒ xué de dì yī kè ， zì rán dǎng bú zhù lín xuān de mó huǒ 。
刺啦一声传入耳朵，灵力护盾被硬生生的撕破，本来这就谈不上什么高级的法术，几乎是修士所学的第一课，自然挡不住林轩的魔火。
"Princess, don't delude yourself," Lin Xuan sneered. "I saved your life, but you tried to kill me just now."
yǎn jiàn yǐ gōng pò duì fāng de hù tǐ líng guāng ， lín xuān dí jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào ， xī le kǒu qì ， xiū nèi fǎ jué yùn zhuàn ， tóu dǐng zhī shàng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī zhī fèng huáng de xū yǐng fú xiàn chū lái ， suí hòu tā zuǒ shǒu huī tái ， quán tou jǐn wò ， yī quán hěn hěn de xiàng cǐ nǚ de xiǎo fù dǎ guò qù le 。
眼见已攻破对方的护体灵光，林轩嘀角微微上翘，吸了口气，休内法诀运转，头顶之上，隐隐有一只凤凰的虚影浮现出来，随后他左手徽抬，拳头紧握，一拳狠狠的像此女的小腹打过去了。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened.
shēng sǐ guān tóu ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì zuò chū lián xiāng xī yù de jǔ dòng 。 nà bù jiào fēng dù ， ér jiào bù zhī sǐ huó 。
生死关头，林轩自然不会做出怜香惜玉的举动。那不叫风度，而叫不知死活。
"You accuse me of repaying an act of kindness with malice? I gave you a chance." Princess New Moon retorted.
xīn yuè xiān zi xiǎo fù āi le yī xià zhòng jī ， suī shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì ， yě tòng dé wān xià le yāo qù ， lín xuān xiū xī le fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， zhè yī quán bù xià qiān jīn zhī lì 。
新月仙子小腹挨了一下重击，虽是元婴中期的修士，也痛得弯下了腰去，林轩休息了凤舞九天诀，这一拳不下千斤之力。
"Chance, serving as your vassal?" Lin Xuan sneered. "Perhaps in the Upper Realm, your status is indeed formidable, but many cultivators would beg to be your servants. But remember, everyone has their choices. My goal is to advance to the Separation Stage and ascend to the Upper Realm for eternal life. I have my principles; freedom means everything to me. Otherwise, what's the point of immortality? I won't kneel before anyone, let alone serve you."
kě lián xīn yuè gōng zhǔ zài shàng jiè shì rén rén fèng chéng de rén wù ， hé zēng chī guò zhè yàng de kǔ 。
可怜新月公主在上界是人人奉承的人物，何曾吃过这样的苦。
"Hmph, you are indeed a clever person, no wonder you caught me," Princess New Moon said with a sly look.
hé kuàng xiū shì guò zhāo ， wú wài hū mì shù fǎ bǎo ， suī rán yāo zú 、 fú zōng yě huì xiū xí liàn xiū zhī shù ， dàn nǎ yǒu lín xuān zhè yàng yòng de 。
何况修士过招，无外乎秘术法宝，虽然妖族、佛宗也会修习炼休之术，但哪有林轩这样用的。
"Why do you say that?" Lin Xuan's voice grew colder.
bèi dǎ zhòng xiǎo fù ， xīn yuè xiān zi liǎn dōu lǜ le ， lín xuān zé shǒu yī yáng ， yī quán tou dà xiǎo de xiǎo qiú yú yóu ér chū ， biǎo miàn yín guāng shǎn shuò ， dī liū liū xuán zhuǎn zhe 。
被打中小腹，新月仙子脸都绿了，林轩则手一扬，一拳头大小的小球鱼游而出，表面银光闪烁，滴溜溜旋转着。
"You don't need to pretend anymore. You've restrained me, but I must be annoyed and unsure how to handle it. You can't just kill me with one sword."
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì zhuō xiān suǒ !
不用说，自然是倬仙索!
"Princess, are you so confident? Do you really think I am a gentleman who wouldn't harm an innocent?" Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as cold killing intent emerged.
wú shù sī xiàn cóng shàng miàn fēn lí ， suí hòu yòu níng jù zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī tiáo yín sè de suǒ liàn ， chèn zhe xīn yuè xiān zi tòng dé hún shēn fā mù ， jiāng tā wǔ huā dà bǎng qǐ lái le 。
无数丝线从上面分离，随后又凝聚在一起，化为一条银色的锁链，趁着新月仙子痛得浑身发木，将她五花大绑起来了。
However, Princess New Moon was not afraid: "Whether or not you are a gentleman is unknown to me. But if you want to kill, why waste words? You can take my head with one sword now, but I'm sure you won't."
yǔ lín xuān yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， yī dào jiē yī dào de fǎ jué dǎ chū ， zhè xiē dōu shì jìn zhì lèi de fǎ shù 。
雨林轩也没有闲着，双手挥舞，一道接一道的法诀打出，这些都是禁制类的法术。
"Why?" Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, but his heart felt ominous.
néng ràng duì fāng dòng tán bù dé ， bìng qiě jiāng tā de líng lì qiā duàn zǔ gé 。
能让对方动弹不得，并且将她的灵力掐断阻隔。
"Because I said so. Before we turned against each other, our conversation was clear in your mind. I didn't exaggerate; I secretly came to the Lower Realm. But my father left a mark on my soul. Even though I concealed it with secret techniques, if you kill me, he will know and send relentless pursuit from the Spirit Realm."
bèi yī lián xià le shí qī bā dào jìn zhì fǎ shù ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì yě zhǐ yǒu tú huàn nài hé ， xī lín xuān què hái bù mǎn zú ， lüè yī chóu chú ， yòu shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí gè yù hé fēi le chū lái ， hé gài dǎ kāi ， jǐ zhāng jīn càn càn de fú zuǎn chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
被一连下了十七八道禁制法术，就算是元婴后期的大修士也只有图唤奈何，西林轩却还不满足，略一踌躇，又伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一个玉盒飞了出来，盒盖打开，几张金灿灿的苻纂出现在眼前。
"Hmph, Princess, you said that after the change in the laws of nature, Upper Realm cultivators could no longer come to our world," Lin Xuan said coldly.
lín xuān jiāng gǔ men yī gǔ nǎo de tiē zài le xīn yuè xiān zi de shēn tǐ shàng miàn 。
林轩将牯们一股脑的贴在了新月仙子的身体上面。
"I did say that, but usually. I'm here now, aren't I? Moreover, if my father gets angry, do you think mere heavenly laws can restrain him? He might descend with full power for his only daughter. Would he hesitate?" Princess New Moon gloated.
nà xiē fú zuǎn yī shǎn ， jìng rán huà wèi yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de jīn sè fú wén ， mò rù le shào nǚ 。
那些符纂一闪，竟然化为一个个拳头大小的金色符文，没入了少女。
Lin Xuan fell silent, then rolled his eyes: "Is it too much to ask that you reverse the laws of nature and forcefully come down here? Are you exaggerating?"
shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí què jǐn jǐn yī zhǎ yǎn de gōng fu ， ér xīn yuè xiān zi bù kuì shì líng jiè xiū shì ， jīng guò gāng cái de fǎ lì guàn zhù ， xià hóu lán de ròu shēn zǎo yǐ tuō tāi huàn gǔ ， hěn kuài jiù cóng téng tòng zhōng huī fù ， yǎn zhōng lù chū yuàn dú ， kě hún shēn de fǎ lì què tí bù qǐ lái le 。
说起来繁复，其实却仅仅一眨眼的功夫，而新月仙子不愧是灵界修士，经过刚才的法力灌注，夏侯兰的肉身早已脱胎换骨，很快就从疼痛中恢复，眼中露出怨毒，可浑身的法力却提不起来了。
"Hmph, my father's abilities are beyond your comprehension as a Core Formation cultivator. Believe or not, if he gets angry, he could exterminate all life in this world. Even without him coming, his subordinates will relentlessly pursue us."
sú huà shuō ， yī zhe bù shèn ， mǎn pán jiē shū ， jiù shí lì lái shuō ， lín xuān jí shǐ yǒu chuān shān jiǎ ， shī mó xiāng zhù ， yě jué duì dǎ bù yíng yǎn qián zhè wèi líng jiè nǚ xiū 。
俗话说，一着不慎，满盘皆输，就实力来说，林轩即使有穿山甲，尸魔相助，也绝对打不赢眼前这位灵界女修。
Lin Xuan fell silent, realizing the truth.
kě dòu fǎ yě yào dòng nǎo ， lín xuān néng gòu yǒu jīn rì de chéng jiù ， lì jīng de xīng fēng xuè yǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， ér xīn yuè gōng zhǔ què bù tóng ， cóng xiǎo yǒu diē diē hē hù ， zài líng jiè jī hū kě yǐ héng zhe zǒu ， zhēn zhèng de wēi xiǎn cóng wèi yù guò ， yú shì yī shí dà yì ， luò rù le lín xuān de quān tào zhī zhōng 。
可斗法也要动脑，林轩能够有今日的成就，历经的腥风血雨数不胜数，而新月公主却不同，从小有爹爹呵护，在灵界几乎可以横着走，真正的危险从未遇过，于是一时大意，落入了林轩的圈套之中。
He hadn't killed her because he might have tampered with her soul; if he did, news would spread to the Spirit Realm immediately.
gǎn jué hún shēn de fǎ lì bèi jìn gù ， xīn yuè gōng zhǔ liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī jīng huāng zhī sè ， suí hòu xī le kǒu qì ， méi yǔ zhī jiān ， yǐn yǐn yǒu jīn sè de guāng máng shǎn guò ， dàn hěn kuài yòu yuè dàn xià qù le 。
感觉浑身的法力被禁锢，新月公主脸上闪过一丝惊慌之色，随后吸了口气，眉宇之间，隐隐有金色的光芒闪过，但很快又瀹淡下去了。
Though Lin Xuan didn't master such techniques, he had seen them in ancient texts. Thus, he resorted to multiple restrictions.
tú láo wú gōng !
徒劳无功!
Originally, his plan was to use threats and deception to turn the tables and make Princess New Moon a non-threat while gaining many benefits.
“ xiān zi bù bì xīn cún jiǎo xìng le ，$$; bèi lín mǒu de bǎo wù suǒ zhù ， yòu yī lián bèi xià le shí qī
“仙子不必心存侥幸了，$$;被林某的宝物锁住，又一连被下了十七
But he miscalculated.
bā dào jìn gù ， zài jiā shàng jǐ zhāng suǒ hún fú ， rú guǒ zhè yàng dōu hái néng zhèng tuō ， lín mǒu gān cuì zì bào yuán yīng suàn le 。 lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō 。
八道禁锢，再加上几张锁魂符，如果这样都还能挣脱，林某干脆自爆元婴算了。林轩冷冷的说。
Princess New Moon, raised in luxury, lacked combat experience, falling for her own trap. However, she was very clever, not foolish, seeing through his reluctance to kill her. This made it difficult to use threats or inducements.
“ nǐ yù rú hé ?”
“你欲如何?”
Lin Xuan frowned and fell silent.
xīn yuè xiān zi shì ruò wú dǔ ， yī lián yòu shì le jǐ zhǒng lì hài zhī jí de mì shù ， guǒ rán méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， mǎn liǎn xiè qì de kāi kǒu le 。
新月仙子视若无睹，一连又试了几种厉害之极的秘术，果然没有效果，满脸泄气的开口了。
"Lin Daoist, let's make a deal," Princess New Moon said sweetly.
“ bú shì wǒ xiǎng yào rú hé 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ：“ shì xiān zi
“不是我想要如何。”林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色：“是仙子
"What?" Lin Xuan said impatiently.
xiǎng yào zěn yàng cái shì ， hǎo dǎi wǒ yě suàn jiù guò nǐ ;， kě nǐ ; gāng gāng què xiǎng yào zhì wǒ yú sǐ dì 。
想要怎样才是，好歹我也算救过你;，可你;刚刚却想要置我于死地。
"If you release me, I promise not to oppose you further. We can turn enemies into friends. What do you say?"
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān mǎn liǎn yīn mái ， shén sè yě bù shàn le qǐ lái 。
说到这里，林轩满脸阴霾，神色也不善了起来。
"Hmph, are you calling me a fool?"
“ nǐ shuō wǒ ēn jiāng chóu bào ， hēng ， běn gōng gěi guò nǐ jī huì de 。” xīn yuè xiān zi què bìng méi
“你说我恩将仇报，哼，本宫给过你机会的。”新月仙子却并没
In terms of cunning, although young, Lin Xuan had outsmarted many ancient monsters in his journey through cultivation and was far from being fooled by such schemes.
yǒu bèi xià dào ， méi tóu yī tiāo 。
有被吓倒，眉头一挑。
Ps: How will Lin Xuan handle this?
Lin Xuan pondered his escape strategy, and it just so happened that the first wave of attacks came from the fragrance emitted by Shao Petal. While this aroma seemed to soothe the mind, in reality, it was something that could send one's soul flying.
Poisons from flowers were also feared in the Spirit Realm.
However, Lin Xuan had cultivated the Azure Illusion Profound Fire, which itself was an absolute antidote and provided excellent immunity against various toxic techniques.
Of course, Princess New Moon was a major figure in the Spirit Realm. According to logic, even her should be able to withstand the Azure Illusion Profound Fire. However, since she was only at the Core Formation Stage now, her "Floral Fragrance Array" was barely one percent of its full power, significantly weakening the toxin effects and leaving them little more than superficial abilities.
