hóng fěn kū lóu ， néng gòu dàng zhù měi sè de yòu huò ， lín xuān zài bù zhī bù jué zhōng xīn jìng yòu shàng shēng yī céng le 。
红粉骷髅，能够档住美色的诱惑，林轩在不知不觉中心境又上升一层了。
Red-haired skull, able to resist the allure of beauty, Lin Xuan's heart rose another level without him even realizing it.
zhè duì tā rì hòu de xiū liàn ， dà yǒu hǎo chù 。
这对他日后的修炼，大有好处。
This would greatly benefit his future cultivation.
dāng rán ， lín xuān xiàn zài zuì guān xīn de ， hái shì qín xīn shāng shì rú hé 。
当然，林轩现在最关心的，还是琴心伤势如何。
Of course, what Lin Xuan was most concerned about now was how seriously Qin Xin had been injured.
jiāng shǒu tiē zài shào nǚ xiǎo fù ， huǎn huǎn jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù dào tā de dān tián zhī zhōng ， rán hòu zài gè chù jīng mài liú lù ， guò le yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。
将手贴在少女小腹，缓缓将法力注入到她的丹田之中，然后在各处经脉流辂，过了约一盏茶的功夫，林轩脸上露出满意之色。
He placed his hand on the girl’s abdomen and slowly infused his spiritual energy into her dantian. Then he circulated the energy through her meridians. After about a cup of tea's time, satisfaction spread across Lin Xuan's face.
bù wǎng zì jǐ nà me xīn kǔ ， sì nüè de tiān zhū gǔ dú zhōng yú bèi chóng xīn yā zhù 。
不枉自己那么辛苦，肆虐的天蛛蛊毒终于被重新压住。
It wasn't for nothing that he had endured so much hardship; the rampant spider venom finally subsided.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī bù 。
然而这仅仅是第一步。
However, this was just the first step. The poison had been temporarily alleviated, but what about the injuries?
dú zàn shí dé dào le huǎn jiě ， kě nà shāng yòu gāi zěn me bàn ？
毒暂时得到了缓解，可那伤又该怎么办？
The Nine Heavens Return to Origin Pills could only ensure her safety for three days.
jiǔ tiān huí yuán dān jǐn néng bǎo sān rì píng ān 。
九天回元丹仅能保三日平安。
Once those three days were over, Qin Xin’s physical body and essence would collapse beyond salvation.
shí jiān yī guò ， qín xīn de ròu shēn yǔ yuán yīng fēi bēng kuì bù kě 。
时间一过，琴心的肉身与元婴非崩溃不可。
With Lin Xuan's vast experience, he was unsure of which secret technique she had used, making it impossible for him to treat the injuries effectively.
yǐ lín xuān jiàn wén zhī guǎng bó ， yě bù zhī dào tā shǐ yòng le shén me mì shù ， gù ér gēn běn zuò bú dào duì zhèng xià yào de 。
以林轩见闻之广博，也不知道她使用了什么秘术，故而根本做不到对症下药的。
Sighing, Lin Xuan felt like a pot of boiling water on a stove—desperate.偶然 glancing down, his gaze fell upon her inviting shoulders and fair skin. His face flushed as he realized he had been so focused that he forgot about her injuries.
tàn le kǒu qì ， lín xuān jí dé rú rè guō shàng e!i mǎ yǐ 。
叹了口气，林轩急得如热锅上e!i蚂蚁。
Indeed, Lin Xuan jumped out of the spatial vortex. In his memory, it was clear he could resist its suction; there was only one reason for this action… to save himself.
ǒu rán dī xià tou ， rù mù dì shì yòu rén de xiāng jiān yù fū ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yī hóng ， zì jǐ guāng gù zhe zháo jí ， dōu wàng jì bāng qín xīn zhē zhù shēn tǐ 。
偶然低下头，入目的是诱人的香肩玉肤，林轩脸上一红，自己光顾着着急，都忘记帮琴心遮住身体。
He knew the danger of a spatial vortex well, and at that moment, his eyes felt a bit sore, unsure if it was from joy or gratitude—or both.
máng xiù páo yī fú ， qīng guāng shǎn guò ， yī qún zhē zhù le màn miào de jiāo qū 。
忙袖袍一拂，青光闪过，衣裙遮住了曼妙的娇躯。
A sense of happiness seemed to fill him, making him forget about his injuries. Originally, he had been severely injured, but now, all those concerns were cast aside.
lín xuān jiāng ōu yáng bàn bào zài huái lǐ ， zhèng xiǎng zhù qí chuān hǎo yī fú ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， shào nǚ de jié máo dòng le dòng 。
林轩将欧阳半抱在怀里，正想助其穿好衣服，然而就在此刻，少女的睫毛动了动。
Life and death were forgotten.
lín xuān dà xǐ ， qín xīn ruò shì néng gòu sū xǐng ， duì yú liáo shāng ， dà yǒu hǎo chù ， zhì shǎo kě yǐ nòng qīng chǔ tā jiū jìng shì zěn yàng biàn chéng xiàn zài zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng de 。
林轩大喜，琴心若是能够苏醒，对于疗伤，大有好处，至少可以弄清楚她究竟是怎样变成现在这种状况的。
For cultivators, longevity was the most important thing, right? Perhaps, but for Lin Xuan, he hoped Qin Xin would be by his side.
míng bái liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， yě xǔ zì jǐ jiù bú huì shù shǒu wú cè 。
明白了事情的始末，也许自己就不会束手无策。
Otherwise, even if there was a chance of immortality, it would be lonely without her.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou gāng zhuǎn dào yí bàn ， lín xuān liǎn sè què yòu kuáng biàn ， kàn le kàn ōu yáng yī shān bù zhěng de yàng zi ， zì jǐ jiù suàn yǒu yī qiān zhāng zuǐ ， kǒng pà yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
然而这个念头刚转到一半，林轩脸色却又狂变，看了看欧阳衣衫不整的样子，自己就算有一千张嘴，恐怕也说不清楚。
Immortal I desire, dual cultivation I also desire. Who said fish and bear's paw could not both be had? Cultivation is the path that defies heaven.
miàn duì dí rén de shí hòu ， lín xuān zhì jì bǎi chū ， jí biàn bèi bī rù jué jìng ， yě zǒng huì xiǎng bàn fǎ sǐ zhōng qiú huó ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng què yí piàn kòng bái le 。
面对敌人的时候，林轩智计百出，即便被逼入绝境，也总会想办法死中求活，然而此时此刻，林轩脑海中却一片空白了。
But at this moment, Lin Xuan certainly didn't think about all that. He was happy to see Qin Xin alive again after thinking she was dead. Now, cradling her in his arms, he felt a small sense of happiness. He wanted to close his eyes and enjoy this rare tranquility but noticed something odd.
shèn zhì méi yǒu zuò chū rèn hé bǔ jiù de dòng zuò 。
甚至没有做出任何补救的动作。
Not just that his clothes were disheveled; it seemed he wasn't even wearing an undergarment. His face turned red as he saw the blush spread across her cheeks, ears, and neck.
jiù zhè me dāi dāi de lèng zhe 。
就这么呆呆的愣着。
Lin Xuan, who was already feeling awkward, stammered, "Qin Xin, that… that's not what I meant. I did this to…"
bàn suí zhe yī shēng qīng hū ， ōu yáng huǎn huǎn de zhēng kāi le shuāng móu 。
伴随着一声轻呼，欧阳缓缓的睁开了双眸。
Poor Lin Xuan, who had lived for over two hundred years, had seen all sorts of battles but couldn't find the words now. He was so flustered he couldn’t even speak. If he could choose, he would rather face an old monster from the Separation and Union stage; at least then, if he lost, he could run away.
tā de liǎn shàng yī jiù mǎn shì tòng kǔ ， dàn què què shí shí shì qīng xǐng guò lái le 。
她的脸上依旧满是痛苦，但确确实实是清醒过来了。
But now, it seemed impossible to act like a ostrich.
“ wǒ zhè shì zài yīn cáo dì fǔ ？”
“我这是在阴曹地府？”
Seeing himself completely naked, Qin Xin’s heart raced. However, Lin Xuan's clumsy reaction somewhat alleviated her embarrassment.
zì jǐ de shāng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， qín xīn yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， kě dì yī yǎn kàn jiàn de ， què shì nà shú xī de róng yán 。
自己的伤自己清楚，琴心以为自己已经陨落，可第一眼看见的，却是那熟悉的容颜。
How could she not understand him? He might not be a gentleman, but he definitely had the desire and lacked the courage.
qín xīn qī ) shí dāi le 。
琴心期)时呆了。
He wouldn’t dare take advantage of her.
shàng tiān dài zì jǐ hé qí bù báo ， tā zuì hòu de yuàn wàng biàn shì néng gòu jiàn lín xuān yí miàn ， méi xiǎng dào zhēn de shí xiàn 。
上天待自己何其不薄，她最后的愿望便是能够见林轩一面，没想到真的实现。
"Brother Lin, you don't need to explain. I know; you were trying to heal my injuries."
nán dào shì shàng tiān jiāng tā dài dào zì jǐ de miàn qián ？
难道是上天将他带到自己的面前？
Lin Xuan sighed in relief as he saw Qin Xin's understanding. His face brightened: "Qin Xin is right. The spider venom has spread throughout my body. To suppress it again, I had to use the Green Illusory Mystic Fire and perform a full-body massage…"
děng děng shí ■■ shí ■■ chà nà de jīng yà guò hòu ， ōu yáng qín xīn biàn gǎn jué dào le bú duì tóu 。
等等十■■十■■刹那的惊讶过后，欧阳琴心便感觉到了不对头。
But Lin Xuan’s voice abruptly stopped. He wished he could slap himself; he should have kept his mouth shut.
lín xiōng kě shì yuán yīng hòu qī ， zì rán bú huì qīng yì yǔn luò ， jiǎ rú zì jǐ zhēn yǔ tā yīn yáng liǎng gé yòu zěn me kě néng jiàn miàn ne ？
林兄可是元婴后期，自然不会轻易陨落，假如自己真与他阴阳两隔又怎么可能见面呢？
This only made things worse.
mò fēi zì jǐ yī jiù huó zhe ？
莫非自己依旧活着？
Damn! Hearing him, Qin Xin's pretty face turned as red as a cooked lobster. They both fell silent, the atmosphere becoming increasingly awkward.
ér lín xuān guǒ rán tiào xià le nà kōng jiān xuán wō 。
而林轩果然跳下了那空间漩涡。
In the vast stone room, even a needle dropping would be audible. After about fifteen minutes of silence, it was Qin Xin who broke it.
zài zì jǐ de yìn xiàng lǐ ， nà xī lì tā míng míng néng gòu dǐng zhù ， nà zhè me zuò zhǐ yǒu yí gè lǐ yóu …… wèi le lìn èr zì jǐ 。
在自己的印象里，那吸力他明明能够顶住，那这么做只有一个理由……为了膦二自己。
Of course, with her intelligence, she wouldn't bring up such an embarrassing topic: "Brother Lin, I used the Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form. Originally, I thought I was doomed to die, even without being poisoned by the spider venom; my physical body and essence would collapse anyway. What method did you use to stabilize my injuries?"
kōng jiān xuán wō yǒu duō wēi xiǎn ōu yáng xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， yī shí jiān ， tā gǎn jué yǎn jīng yǒu xiē sè sè de ， shuō bù qīng shì xǐ yuè hái shì gǎn gē ， huò zhě èr zhě jiān yǒu 。
空间漩涡有多危险欧阳心中有数，一时间，她感觉眼睛有些涩涩的，说不清是喜悦还是感袼，或者二者兼有。
"Nine Heavens Return to Origin Pills," Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xin wasn't pursuing this matter further. However, his expression turned grim: "But although these pills are rare, they can only ensure safety for three days."
yǐn yǐn de ， yǒu yī zhǒng xìng fú de gǎn jué ， shèn zhì wàng jì le shēn shàng de shāng tòng 。
隐隐的，有一种幸福的感觉，甚至忘记了身上的伤痛。
"Three days?"
yuán běn ōu yáng shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jiāng zhè yī qiè quán dōu pāo zhū nǎo hòu 。
原本欧阳身受重伤，然而此时此刻，她将这一切全都抛诸脑后。
"Yes, after those three days, even I would be helpless to save you," Lin Xuan said. "That's why we need to stabilize your injuries as quickly as possible, Qin Xin. What was the Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form? It must have been that technique that caused this."
shēng yǔ sǐ huò dōu wàng le 。
生与死或都忘了。
Qin Xin nodded and smiled bitterly: "The Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form is a Daoist cultivation method. I can't explain it in detail right now, but similar techniques exist among the Buddhist sects, ancient demons, and monsters—such as the Golden Body Dharmic Form of the Buddhist sect, the Supreme Heavenly Demon Dharmic Form of the ancient demons, and the Xuan Qing Extreme Monster Dharmic Form of the monsters."
duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， cháng shēng cái shì zuì zhòng yào de ma ？
对于修仙者，长生才是最重要的吗？
Lin Xuan nodded. He had seen detailed descriptions of such techniques in ancient texts; they were essentially virtual shadows that could be used as a second consciousness when fighting.
yě xǔ ba ! bù guò duì yú ōu yáng ér yán ， tā hái xī wàng yǒu lín xuān péi zài shēn biān 。
也许吧!不过对于欧阳而言，她还希望有林轩陪在身边。
While the second consciousness required considerable effort to re-cultivate and might affect his divine sense, the Dharmic Form was more practical because it only consumed spiritual energy without much impact on one’s essence.
fǒu zé jí biàn zhēn yǒu cháng shēng de yī tiān ， kě méi yǒu rén péi ， qǐ bù huì hěn gū dān 。
否则即便真有长生的一天，可没有人陪，岂不会很孤单。
However, such secret techniques existed in all sects except the Confucian school. They were recorded in ancient texts but considered heavenly techniques that were rare even among cultivators.
chéng xiān wǒ suǒ yù yě ， shuāng xiū yì suǒ yù ， shuí shuō yú yǔ xióng zhǎng bù kě jiān dé ， xiū xiān xíng de běn jiù shì nì tiān zhī lù 。
成仙我所欲也，双修亦所欲，谁说鱼与熊掌不可兼得，修仙行的本就是逆天之路。
He hadn’t expected to find a record of the Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form at the end of the Sound Wave Technique.
dāng rán cǐ shí cǐ kè ， ōu yáng kěn dìng méi yǒu xiǎng nà me duō ， yuán běn yǐ wéi yǐ jīng sǐ le ， méi xiǎng dào hái néng yǔ lín xuān jiàn miàn ， xiàn zài bèi tā bào zài huái zhōng ， ōu yáng yǒu yì diǎn xiǎo xiǎo de - xìng fú ， běn xiǎng bì shàng shuāng móu ， xiǎng shòu zhè nán dé de níng jìng yī kè ， què yì wài xiàn zì jǐ de yī fú yǒu yī zào yī r， shí yī yī zěn me shuō ne 。
当然此时此刻，欧阳肯定没有想那么多，原本以为已经死了，没想到还能与林轩见面，现在被他抱在怀中，欧阳有一点小小的-幸福，本想闭上双眸，享受这难得的宁静一刻，却意外现自己的衣服有一灶一r，十一一怎么说呢。
Youmu was truly a place full of hidden talents, with his Azure Star Sea, Nine Heavens Profound Power, and the Heavenly Array Book in the Heart Cultivation Path. Now, Qin Xin had brought up the Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form again.
t1xs yī shān bù zhěng yǐ bù zú yǐ xíng róng ， sì hū lián tiē shēn xiǎo yī dōu méi yǒu chuān de ， yī shí jiān ， ōu yáng hóng yùn mǎn liǎn 。
t1xs衣衫不整已不足以形容，似乎连贴身小衣都没有穿的，一时间，欧阳红晕满脸。
This place might have been desolate now but could have been significant during ancient times.
bù zhǐ nà rú měi yù bān de shuāng jiá ， lián ěr gēn yǔ bó zi yě quán dōu méng shàng le yī céng yòu rén de fēi hóng zhī sè ，o lín xuān běn jiù xīn zhōng “ yǒu guǐ ”， jiàn le ōu yáng de fǎn yìng ， biǎo qíng yuè de gān gà qǐ lái ：“ qín xīn ， nà …… nà ge ， bú shì $$; xiǎng de nà yàng ， wǒ ， wǒ shì wèi le ……”
不止那如美玉般的双颊，连耳根与脖子也全都蒙上了一层诱人的绯红之色，o林轩本就心中“有鬼”，见了欧阳的反应，表情越的尴尬起来：“琴心，那……那个，不是$$;想的那样，我，我是为了……”
Lin Xuan pondered this, but it wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters. "Qin Xin, why haven't I heard of this before?"
kě lián lín xuān huó le liǎng bǎi yú zài ， xuè yǔ xīng fēng ， shén me dà zhèn zhàng méi yǒu jiàn guò ， piān piān xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng què bù zhī rú hé kāi kǒu ， jí dé lián huà yě shuō bù chū ， rú guǒ kě yǐ xuǎn zé ， tā qíng yuàn miàn duì lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， jí biàn dǎ bù guò ， hái kě yǐ táo zǒu 。
可怜林轩活了两百余载，血雨腥风，什么大阵仗没有见过，偏偏现在这种情况却不知如何开口，急得连话也说不出，如果可以选择，他情愿面对离合期老怪物，即便打不过，还可以逃走。
"Brother Lin, it's not that I deliberately concealed it; it can only be practiced and not used by an婴期 cultivator. It has no effect in battle, so I didn't mention it," Qin Xin explained with a bitter smile.
kě xiàn zài ， míng xiǎn shì bù néng zhuāng tuó niǎo 。
可现在，明显是不能装鸵鸟。
"There are techniques that can only be practiced but not used? Such a thing exists?" Lin Xuan was stunned, his expression turning strange.
xiàn zì jǐ shēn wú cùn lǚ ， ōu yáng xīn zhōng yě rú xiǎo lù luàn zhuàng ， rán ér lín xuān bèn zhuō de fǎn yìng ， què jiāng tā de xiū sè huà jiě le bù shǎo 。
现自己身无寸缕，欧阳心中也如小鹿乱撞，然而林轩笨拙的反应，却将她的羞涩化解了不少。
"Indeed. Practicing this technique strengthens both the essence and physical body, which is beneficial. However, the Lesser Luo Tian Dharmic Form, while imitating others, is far more powerful than ordinary Dharmic Forms. When used, it manifests nine heads and eighteen arms, placing a heavy burden on an婴期 cultivator," Qin Xin's voice grew softer as her face darkened.
tā zěn me kě néng bù liǎo jiě zhè jiā huo ？
她怎么可能不了解这家伙？
Lin Xuan nodded, finally understanding why Qin Xin had been so severely injured. As the saying goes, every coin has two sides; while Dharmic Forms were better for combat than second consciousnesses, each manifestation placed a burden on the practitioner’s essence.
Red-haired skull, able to resist the allure of beauty, Lin Xuan's heart rose another level without him even realizing it.
This would greatly benefit his future cultivation.
Of course, what Lin Xuan was most concerned about now was how seriously Qin Xin had been injured.
He placed his hand on the girl’s abdomen and slowly infused his spiritual energy into her dantian. Then he circulated the energy through her meridians. After about a cup of tea's time, satisfaction spread across Lin Xuan's face.
