yī míng huī yī lǎo zhě liǎn sè kuáng biàn 。 zhè cái cóng tān yù zhōng qīng xǐng lái ， hèn bù dé gěi zì jǐ yí gè ěr guāng ， jū rán lì yì xūn xīn ， qù zhāo rě huà xíng hòu qī yāo zú 。
一名灰衣老者脸色狂变。这才从贪欲中清醒来，恨不得给自己一个耳光，居然利益熏心，去招惹化形后期妖族。
A gray-robed elder's face turned pale in shock. He had just woken up from his greed, wishing he could slap himself. How could he be so blinded by profit to provoke a late-stage妖族?
zhè bú shì chī bǎo le chēng de ， xiǎng yào zhǎo sǐ me ？
这不是吃饱了撑的，想要找死么？
Isn't this asking for death?
kě hòu huǐ yǐ lái bù jí ， huǒ jiāo wáng zhuǎn guò tóu ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng liè de xiào yì 。
可后悔已来不及，火蛟王转过头，嘴角边露出一丝冷冽的笑意。
But it was too late to regret now. The Fire Serpent King turned his head and revealed a cold smile.
shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú 。 jū rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
身形一阵模糊。居然从原地消失得无影无踪。
His figure blurred before vanishing completely.
bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì suō dì shù 。
不用说，正是缩地术。
It had to be the缩小地术.
suī rán bù jí shùn yí ， dàn yǐ chū kuī dào kōng jiān shén tōng de ào mì 。
虽然不及瞬移，但已初窥到空间神通的奥秘。
Though not as fast as teleportation, he had just glimpsed the secrets of spatial power.
huī yī lǎo zhě dà hài ， máng yī kǒu jīng xuè pēn le chū lái ， yíng fēng yī shǎn ， yǐ huà wèi le yī céng xuè sè de guāng mù ， jiāng tā de shēn qū bāo guǒ 。
灰衣老者大骇，忙一口精血喷了出来，迎风一闪，已化为了一层血色的光幕，将他的身躯包裹。
The gray-robed elder was shocked. He spat out some fresh blood, which flashed in the wind and formed a layer of bloody light that enveloped his body.
xià yī kè ， huǒ jiāo wáng yǐ qī dào jìn chù 。 tái qǐ yòu shǒu ， guāng máng shǎn shuò jiān ， yǐ jīng biàn huà wèi jiāo lóng de lì zhuǎ 。
下一刻，火蛟王已欺到近处。抬起右手，光芒闪烁间，已经变化为蛟龙的利爪。
In the next moment, the Fire Serpent King approached. With a flick of his right hand, the light transformed into sharp claws of a serpent dragon.
hěn hěn cháo zhe qián fāng huī luò ！
狠狠朝着前方挥落！
He struck forward with all his might!
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī liè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǎo zhě bù xī dòng yòng běn mìng zhēn yuán bù xià de fáng yù yǒu rú zhǐ hú 。
仿佛布锦被撕裂的声音传入耳朵，老者不惜动用本命真元布下的防御有如纸糊。
The sound of tearing silk filled his ears as the defenses he had set up were like paper against such power.
yāo zhǎo tàn rù ， xuè huā bèng jiàn ， yí gè dà dòng chū xiàn zài le lǎo zhě de xiōng qián 。
妖爪探入，血花迸溅，一个大洞出现在了老者的胸前。
The serpentine claw pierced through, blood splattering, creating a gaping hole in the elder's chest.
gèng kě pà de shì tā lián yuán yīng dōu lái bù jí dùn chū ， bèi huǒ jiāo wáng yòng yāo lì sǐ sǐ jìn gù 。
更可怕的是他连元婴都来不及遁出，被火蛟王用妖力死死禁锢。
What was even more terrifying was that he couldn't even manage to escape with his元婴. He was trapped by the Fire Serpent King’s妖力.
“ dào yǒu ，”
“道友，”
"Friend,"
yuán yīng de xiǎo liǎn shàng mǎn shì wèi jù zhī sè ， sì hū xiǎng yào kāi kǒu qiú ráo ， rán ér huǒ jiāo wáng nǎ yǒu xīn qíng tīng tā luó suo ， zhí jiē yī bǎ sāi rù kǒu zhōng ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， xiū shì yuán yīng duì yú yāo zú ， bù jǐn měi wèi 。 ér qiě hái shì dà bǔ 。
元婴的小脸上满是畏惧之色，似乎想要开口求饶，然而火蛟王哪有心情听他罗嗦，直接一把塞入口中，脸上露出满意之色，修士元婴对于妖族，不仅美味。而且还是大补。
The young元婴 on the elder’s face showed signs of distress as it spoke. "Why add a 'small' character?"
miè shā le zhè xiē bù zhī sǐ huó de xiū xiān zhě ， huǒ jiāo wáng zhèng hǎo kàn jiàn luó jiā yī xíng rén cóng shù bǎi zhàng yuǎn de dì fāng jīng guò 。
灭杀了这些不知死活的修仙者，火蛟王正好看见罗家一行人从数百丈远的地方经过。
"Because the true 黄泉路 leads to the Netherworld, while this one leads to the palace of the Arhats. Now, no more idle talk, follow the plan and move!"
huǒ jiāo wáng tóng kǒng wēi suō ， rú jīn de xuān yuán chéng zhōng ， gāo jiē cún zài suī shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。 dàn què hěn shǎo yǒu zhè me duō lǎo guài wù jù zài yì qǐ de 。
火蛟王瞳孔微缩，如今的轩辕城中，高阶存在虽数不胜数。但却很少有这么多老怪物聚在一起的。
The gray-robed elder finished speaking and his figure condensed before descending from midair. The other Luo family disciples followed quickly.
duì fāng yě bù qiǎng bǎo ， cōng cōng máng máng de dào xiàng shì yǒu suǒ tú ， tā men xiǎng yào gàn shén me ？
对方也不抢宝，匆匆忙忙的倒像是有所图，他们想要干什么？
At a certain secluded residence by the Indeterminate River, a couple was in their wedding chamber, engaging in passionate activities for an entire day and night.
gāng gāng xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， duì fāng zhèn yíng zhōng yǒu yī rén sì hū gǎn jué dào le tā de zhù shì ， huí guò tóu lái ，，
刚刚想到这里，对方阵营中有一人似乎感觉到了他的注视，回过头来，，
Heavenly conscience, Lin Xuan wasn't lingering over women; even as an advanced元婴 cultivator, he was exhausted. Fortunately, 凤舞九天诀 was a top-tier cultivation technique that strengthened his body, but it still left him feeling like he had fought a late-stage old monster.
nà shì yī míng liù shí yú suì de lǎo zhě 。 tóng yàng shēn chuān huī yī ， kě yǔ zì jǐ gāng gāng miè shā de dǎo méi guǐ bù tóng ， yǔ cǐ rén mù guāng xiāng chù ， huǒ jiāo wáng de bèi shàng ， jìng fàn qǐ le yī gǔ hán yì 。
那是一名六十余岁的老者。同样身穿灰衣，可与自己刚刚灭杀的倒霉鬼不同，与此人目光相触，火蛟王的背上，竟泛起了一股寒意。
The reason for this was twofold: one, Qinxin's injuries were worse than expected; two, using dual cultivation to replenish her innate essence took much longer than anticipated. Thankfully, his efforts weren't in vain, as his beloved wife was finally saved from the brink of death.
bù kě néng ， duì fāng míng míng zhǐ shì yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì 。
不可能，对方明明只是一名元婴中期的修士。
Now that Ou Yang Fairy had fully recovered from her injuries—aside from poisoning and essence loss—Lin Xuan felt a bit pale after such exertion.
táng táng huà xíng hòu qī de yāo zú ， cǐ shí liǎn shàng què cāng bái rú zhǐ 。
堂堂化形后期的妖族，此时脸上却苍白如纸。
"Lord, are you alright?"
kàn duì fāng fēi qù de fāng xiàng ， zhèng shì xuān yuán chéng de zhōng yāng ， nà lǐ yǒu yī qì shì páng bó de jiàn zhù ， lián xiǎng jīn tiān chū xiàn de guǐ yì yāo wù ， huǒ jiāo wáng tiǎn le tiǎn shé tou ， lüè yī chóu chú ， yě suí hòu gēn guò qù le 。
看对方飞去的方向，正是轩辕城的中央，那里有一气势磅礴的建筑，联想今天出现的诡异妖物，火蛟王舔了舔舌头，略一踌躇，也随后跟过去了。
Ou Yang leaned against Lin Xuan's chest, looking content. She no longer felt embarrassed; they were already so intimate for the night. "I need to meditate."
xuān yuán chéng miàn jī guǎng kuò ， bù guò rú jīn jìn kōng jìn zhì yǐ méi yǒu le xiào guǒ ， yǐ yuán yīng xiū shì de dùn 。 cóng chéng mén dào zhōng yāng ， suǒ huā fèi de shí jiān zì rán bù zhǎng 。
轩辕城面积广阔，不过如今禁空禁制已没有了效果，以元婴修士的遁。从城门到中央，所花费的时间自然不长。
Lin Xuan’s eyes had regained clarity. Though dual cultivation was delightful, he wouldn’t get lost in it. He had been cultivating for years with the goal of achieving immortality.
hěn kuài ， nà qì shì huī hóng de jiàn zhù jiù yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
很快，那气势恢宏的建筑就映入了眼帘。
"Alright, let me help you dress."
zhè shì yī zuò jù dà de shí diàn 。
这是一座巨大的石殿。
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Ou Yang didn't feel any disappointment; instead, she smiled warmly. "When two hearts are truly meant to be together, what does it matter if they're apart?"
jiàn zhù fēng gé yǔ chéng zhōng qí tā fáng wū míng xiǎn bù tóng ， xiǎn de cū kuò ， dà qì ， zhěng zuò diàn yǔ ， wán měi shì yóu shù wàn jīn zhòng de jù shí duī qì ér chéng de 。
建筑风格与城中其他房屋明显不同，显得粗扩，大气，整座殿宇，完美是由数万斤重的巨石堆砌而成的。
She hoped her chosen partner wouldn’t just dally but would strive for ascension and spend less time on moonlit nights. She needed to focus on cultivating.
“ lǎo zǔ ， zhè jiù shì xuān yuán diàn me ？” luó zǐ shū biǎo qíng níng zhòng de kāi kǒu le 。
“老祖，这就是轩辕殿么？”罗紫梳表情凝重的开口了。
"Ha! This isn't necessary."
“ bù cuò ， dàn zài yuǎn gǔ de shí hòu ， wǒ men jiào pāo xiǎo huáng quán lù 。” luó jiā lǎo zǔ huǎn huǎn de shuō …… xiǎo huáng quán lù ？” luó zǐ shū yī dāi 。 biǎo qíng yǒu xiē gǔ guài ：。 wèi hé yào jiā yí gè xiǎo xiǎo zì 。”
“不错，但在远古的时候，我们叫抛小黄泉路。”罗家老祖缓缓的说……小黄泉路？”罗紫梳一呆。表情有些古怪：。为何要加一个小小字。”
Though they were dual cultivation partners, Lin Xuan didn’t like having a woman dress him. With a wave of his sleeve, he transformed into a new green robe.
“ yīn wèi zhēn zhèng de huáng quán lù tōng wǎng de shì yīn sī dì fǔ ， ér zhè lǐ de huáng quán lù ， tōng wǎng de shì ā xiū luó wáng de xíng gōng ， hǎo le ， duō yú de huà bú yào zài jiǎng ， àn jì huà xíng shì ， zǒu ！”
“因为真正的黄泉路通往的是阴司地府，而这里的黄泉路，通往的是阿修罗王的行宫，好了，多余的话不要再讲，按计划行事，走！”
He then extended his hand and tapped his waist, causing several jade bottles to fly out from his storage bag.
luó jiā lǎo zǔ shuō wán ， dùn guāng yī liǎn ， cóng bàn kōng zhōng là le xià lái ， qí yú de luó jiā dì zi bù gǎn dài màn ， lián máng gēn zài yī biān 。
罗家老祖说完，遁光一敛，从半空中落了下来，其余的罗家弟子不敢怠慢，连忙跟在一边。
With the dual infant and pill in his body, he wasn't too concerned about essence loss, but in this strange Indeterminate River, he wanted to recover as quickly as possible. He had a bad feeling that he shouldn’t be complacent.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， zài wú dìng hé mǒu yī bù wéi rén zhī de zài fǔ ， què shì mǎn shì ****， zhè yī fān dòng fáng huā zhú ， liǎng rén zú zú fān yún fù yǔ le yī tiān yī yè 。
与此同时，在无定河某一不为人知的再府，却是满室****，这一番洞房花烛，两人足足翻云覆雨了一天一夜。
He swallowed various medicinal pills and sat cross-legged, fingers forming seals on his knees as he began meditating to restore his power.
tiān dì liáng xīn ， bú shì lín xuān liú lián nǚ sè ， yào zhī dào zuò zhè me jiǔ ， jiù suàn tā shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě lèi le gè yāo suān bèi tòng 。
天地良心，不是林轩流连女色，要知道做这么久，就算他是元婴后期的大修仙者，也累了个腰酸背痛。
"Lord, why haven't you come out yet?"
xìng hǎo fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué nǎi dǐng jí de xiū yāo gōng fǎ ， yǒu jiā qiáng ròu shēn de zuò yòng ， dàn ráo shì rú cǐ ， lín xuān yě gǎn jué yǔ yī lí hé qī lǎo guài dà zhàn le yī cháng chà bu duō 。
幸好凤舞九天诀乃顶级的修妖功法，有加强肉身的作用，但饶是如此，林轩也感觉与一离合期老怪大战了一场差不多。
Outside the cave, a beautiful girl with a melancholic expression waited by the entrance. She had been waiting for nearly two days.
zhī suǒ yǐ rú cǐ ， yī lái shì qín xīn de shāng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yán zhòng ， èr lái yòng shuāng xiū de fāng fǎ wèi tā bǔ chōng běn mìng zhēn yuán ， shuō qǐ jiǎn dān ， shí jì cāo zuò què hěn nán ， yīn ér bǐ yù xiǎng de duō huā le shù bèi de shí jiān 。 hǎo zài méi yǒu bái xīn kǔ ， ài qī zǒng suàn bèi zì jǐ cóng guǐ mén guān lā huí lái le 。
之所以如此，一来是琴心的伤比想象的严重，二来用双修的方法为她补充本命真元，说起简单，实际操作却很难，因而比预想的多花了数倍的时间。好在没有白辛苦，爱妻总算被自己从鬼门关拉回来了。
She looked around, realizing that this place was once her palace a million years ago.
rú jīn de ōu yáng xiān zi ， yǐ shāng shì jǐn fù ， bì jìng tā chú le zhòng dú yǔ zhēn yuán kuī sǔn yǐ wài ， bìng méi yǒu bié de wài shāng 。
如今的欧阳仙子，已伤势尽复，毕竟她除了中毒与真元亏损以外，并没有别的外伤。
That drop of blood must be hers.
ér kě qià lín xuān ， zhè yī yè suī xiǎng jǐn le wēn róu ， dàn liǎn sè bái dé yǔ zhǐ chà bu duō 。
而可恰林轩，这一夜虽享尽了温柔，但脸色白得与纸差不多。
With determination, she clenched her fists and turned to look at the cave behind her, sighing softly. "Lord is good in everything, but he's too sentimental."
“ fū jūn ， nǐ méi shì ba ！”
“夫君，你没事吧！”
This was undoubtedly an advantage, but Lord knew so many beautiful female cultivators.
ōu yáng jiù zhè me shēn wú cùn lǚ de kào zài lín xuān de xiōng kǒu ， mǎn liǎn xìng fú zhī sè ， dào yě bù zài hài xiū ， bì jìng zhè yī yè yǐ jīng gòu huāng táng le xiǎo dāng zhe zì jǐ de fū jūn ， yòu hé bì zài zuò zuò …… hái hǎo ， bù guò wǒ xū yào dǎ zuò
欧阳就这么身无寸缕的靠在林轩的胸口，满脸幸福之色，倒也不再害羞，毕竟这一夜已经够荒唐了小当着自己的夫君，又何必再做作……还好，不过我需要打坐
As a result, she couldn't help feeling resentful.
lín xuān de yǎn shén yǐ huī fù le qīng míng ， suī rán shuāng xiū de zī wèi ér ràng rén liú lián ， dàn tā jué bú huì chén zuì zài lǐ miàn ， zì jǐ kǔ xiū le zhè me duō nián ， mù dì shì cháng shēng chéng xiān 。
林轩的眼神已恢复了清明，虽然双修的滋味儿让人流连，但他绝不会沉醉在里面，自己苦修了这么多年，目的是长生成仙。
She had secretly used her powers to peek inside when she wasn’t bothered by waiting.
“ ń ， ràng qiè shēn cì hòu fū jūn chuān yī 。”
“嗯，让妾身伺候夫君穿衣。”
Her face flushed with excitement and a hint of resentment.
jiàn le lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， ōu yáng bìng wèi gǎn dào yǒu fēn háo shī luò ， qiào liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū yī sī xīn wèi zhī sè 。
见了林轩的表情，欧阳并未感到有分毫失落，俏脸上反而露出一丝欣慰之色。
"Lord, this heartless radish."
sú huà shuō ， liǎng qíng ruò shì cháng jiǔ shí 。 yòu qǐ zài cháo zhāo mù mù 。
俗话说，两情若是长久时。又岂在朝朝暮暮。
Though she said it, she couldn’t be angry. After two hundred years, she had always relied on Lord for everything. His care was boundless; every time she felt resentful, he would remind her of his kindness.
tā dāng rán bù xī wàng zì jǐ suǒ xuǎn de dào lǚ ， jǐn jǐn liú lián ， ruò néng fēi shēng líng jiè ， huán pà méi yǒu shí jiān huā qián yuè xià me ， xiǎng yào zhǎng zhì zéi liù 。 gèng yào nǔ lì kǔ xiū 。
她当然不希望自己所选的道侣，仅仅流连，若能飞升灵界，环怕没有时间花前月下么，想要长制贼六。更要努力苦修。
Not only did the little girl not get upset, but she was relieved that Xiao Tao had fallen asleep again. If she were awake, with her fiery personality, things might have gotten out of hand.
xiǎo hē hē ， zhè ge bù yòng le 。 wèi fū zì jǐ lái 。”
小呵呵，这个不用了。为夫自己来。”
"Lord, this heartless radish."
suī rán liǎng rén yǐ shì shuāng xiū dào lǚ ， dàn lín xuān kě bù xí guàn ràng nǚ zǐ cì hòu zì jǐ chuān yī ， xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng liú zhuǎn jiān ， tā yǐ chuān hǎo le yī jiàn zhǎn xīn de qīng shān 。
虽然两人已是双修道侣，但林轩可不习惯让女子伺候自己穿衣，袖袍一拂，灵光流转间，他已穿好了一件崭新的青衫。
Though she said it, she couldn’t be angry. After two hundred years, she had always relied on Lord for everything. His care was boundless; every time she felt resentful, he would remind her of his kindness.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi 。 shù gè yù píng cóng chǔ wù dài zhōng fēi le chū lái 。
随后林轩伸出手来，在腰间一拍。数个玉瓶从储物袋中飞了出来。
Not only did the little girl not get upset, but she was relieved that Xiao Tao had fallen asleep again. If she were awake, with her fiery personality, things might have gotten out of hand.
suī rán zì jǐ tǐ nèi yǒu shuāng yīng yī dān ， bù guò wèi le bāng qín xīn liáo shāng ， zhēn yuán sǔn shī yě shì fēi ruò shì huàn yí gè shí jiān ， lín xuān huò xǔ bù zài hū ， kě yǐ màn màn xiū bǔ ， dàn zài zhè guǐ yì de wú dìng hé ， lín xuān dāng rán yào xiǎng bàn fǎ ， kuài diǎn jiàng shí lì huī fù 。
虽然自己体内有双婴一丹，不过为了帮琴心疗伤，真元损失也是非若是换一个时间，林轩或许不在乎，可以慢慢修补，但在这诡异的无定河，林轩当然要想办法，快点将实力恢复。
"Phew!"
tā yǒu yī zhǒng bù tài hǎo de gǎn jué ， zì rán bù gǎn qīng xīn dà yì 。
他有一种不太好的感觉，自然不敢轻心大意。
Just as she was thinking this, a loud rumbling sound echoed in the cave entrance. The door slowly opened.
jiāng shù zhǒng yǐ qián liàn zhì de líng yào tūn luò rù dù ， lín xuān pán xī zuò hǎo ， shuāng shǒu qiā jué 。 píng fàng zài xī gài zhī shàng ， dǎ zuò huī fù qǐ fǎ lì lái le 。
将数种以前炼制的灵药吞落入肚，林轩盘膝坐好，双手掐诀。平放在膝盖之上，打坐恢复起法力来了。
"Lord!"
“ shào yé zěn me hái bù chū lái 。”
“少爷怎么还不出来。”
The girl turned to see Lin Xuan’s familiar face, feeling a bit awkward. She knew his feelings and was worried about causing trouble with Ou Yang.
shí dòng wài ， yī qīng guó qīng chéng de shào nǚ yǐ shǒu zhī hé ， xiǎo liǎn shàng lù chū yù mèn zhī sè ， dōu děng le zú zú kuài liǎng tiān le 。
石洞外，一倾国倾城的少女以手支颌，小脸上露出郁闷之色，都等了足足快两天了。
Fortunately, her smile remained unchanged. "Phew," Lin Xuan relaxed, his anxious expression vanishing completely.
tā zhuǎn tóu kàn le kàn sì zhōu ， méi xiǎng dào bǎi wàn nián qián ， zhè ge dì fāng huì shì zì jǐ de xíng gōng 。
她转头看了看四周，没想到百万年前，这个地方会是自己的行宫。
Ou Yang watched this scene but didn’t feel jealous; she already knew Qinxin's feelings for Moonlight and understood their master-servant relationship was more like a parent-child bond to Lin Xuan.
nà dī xuè ， zì jǐ yí dìng yào nòng dào shǒu 。
那滴血，自己一定要弄到手。
To be honest, even though they had dual cultivation ties, Ou Yang’s importance in his heart couldn't match the little girl’s. After all, two hundred years of companionship made her inseparable from him.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ 。 yuè ér wò le wò xiǎo quán tou 。
想到这里。月儿握了握小拳头。
Thus, she didn’t harbor any resentment towards Moonlight and instead wanted to maintain a harmonious relationship with Lin Xuan for their happiness together.
suí hòu zhuǎn tóu kàn le yī yǎn shēn hòu de dòng fǔ ， yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ， shào yé shén me dōu hǎo ， jiù shì tài zhòng qíng zhòng yì 。
随后转头看了一眼身后的洞府，幽幽的叹了口气，少爷什么都好，就是太重情重义。
Unlike ordinary women who might be jealous or competitive, Ou Yang had lived for over three centuries and understood the importance of harmony in relationships.
yuán běn zhè shì yōu diǎn wú yí ， kě shào yé piān piān rèn shí nà me duō piào liàng nǚ xiū 。
原本这是优点无疑，可少爷偏偏认识那么多漂亮女修。
"If I treat her well, I believe she will do the same."
rú cǐ yī lái ”，
如此一来”，
Seeing Moonlight embrace Lin Xuan, Ou Yang’s face remained serene as she waited by his side.
yuè ér de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yōu yuàn zhī sè ， suí hòu yòu pāi le pāi xiōng kǒu ， xìng hǎo jiǎng wán xiū luó shén xuè de mì mì xiǎo táo yòu chén shuì le guò qù ， fǒu zé yǐ nà yā tou de xìng gé ， fēi wèi le zì jǐ gēn shào yé pīn mìng bù kě 。
月儿的脸上露出一丝幽怨之色，随后又拍了拍胸口，幸好讲完修罗神血的秘密小桃又沉睡了过去，否则以那丫头的性格，非为了自己跟少爷拼命不可。
After a while, Lin Xuan realized he had been neglecting Ou Yang during their conversation with the little girl and felt guilty.
yuè ér zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me shuō ， shì yīn wèi xiǎo yā tou děng dé bù fán nǎo de shí hòu ， céng shī zhǎn shén tōng ， tōu tōu wǎng lǐ miàn kàn le yī yǎn de 。
月儿之所以这么说，是因为小丫头等得不烦恼的时候，曾施展神通，偷偷往里面看了一眼的。
Though Qinxin was now his partner, he should introduce her properly. However, he found himself tongue-tied.
liǎn hóng xīn tiào ！
脸红心跳！
His strategic mind worked well in battle but struggled with words now.
yuè ér máng shōu huí shén tōng 。
月儿忙收回神通。
"Lord, please leave for a moment so I can talk to Moonlight," Ou Yang understood Lin Xuan’s discomfort and kindly suggested.
dāng rán ， hòu lái rěn bú zhù hào qí ， hái shì tōu tōu miáo le jǐ yǎn dì 。
当然，后来忍不住好奇，还是偷偷瞄了几眼地。
"But"
xiǎo yā tou liǎn hóng shì huǒ ， dāng rán ， yě yǒu xiē wěi qū 。
小丫头脸红似火，当然，也有些委屈。
"Don’t worry, Lord. Would I bully poor Moonlight?"
“ shào yé zhè ge huā xīn dà luó bo 。”
“少爷这个花心大罗卜。”
Since Qinxin had brought this up, Lin Xuan couldn't stay any longer. He trusted Ou Yang's intelligence; she wouldn’t mistreat Moonlight.
yuè ér zuǐ shàng zhè yàng shuō ， kě xīn lǐ què zěn me yě yuàn bù qǐ lái ， bì jìng liǎng bǎi nián lái 。 zì jǐ yì zhí dōu yǔ shào yé xiāng yī wéi mìng ， tā duì zì jǐ de ài hù hē hù ， kě yòng wú wēi bù zhì lái xíng róng ， měi dāng xīn zhōng yōu yuàn zhī yì ， què yòu bù yóu zì zhǔ de xiàng qǐ tā duì zì jǐ de hǎo lái 。
月儿嘴上这样说，可心里却怎么也怨不起来，毕竟两百年来。自己一直都与少爷相依为命，他对自己的爱护呵护，可用无微不至来形容，每当心中幽怨之意，却又不由自主的像起他对自己的好来。
"Alright." Lin Xuan nodded and transformed into a streak of light, flying away to the distant sky.
A gray-robed elder's face turned pale in shock. He had just woken up from his greed, wishing he could slap himself. How could he be so blinded by profit to provoke a late-stage妖族?
Isn't this asking for death?
But it was too late to regret now. The Fire Serpent King turned his head and revealed a cold smile.
His figure blurred before vanishing completely.
It had to be the缩小地术.
Though not as fast as teleportation, he had just glimpsed the secrets of spatial power.
The gray-robed elder was shocked. He spat out some fresh blood, which flashed in the wind and formed a layer of bloody light that enveloped his body.
In the next moment, the Fire Serpent King approached. With a flick of his right hand, the light transformed into sharp claws of a serpent dragon.
He struck forward with all his might!
The sound of tearing silk filled his ears as the defenses he had set up were like paper against such power.
The serpentine claw pierced through, blood splattering, creating a gaping hole in the elder's chest.
What was even more terrifying was that he couldn't even manage to escape with his元婴. He was trapped by the Fire Serpent King’s妖力.
"Friend,"
The young元婴 on the elder’s face showed signs of distress as it spoke. "Why add a 'small' character?"
"Because the true 黄泉路 leads to the Netherworld, while this one leads to the palace of the Arhats. Now, no more idle talk, follow the plan and move!"
The gray-robed elder finished speaking and his figure condensed before descending from midair. The other Luo family disciples followed quickly.
At a certain secluded residence by the Indeterminate River, a couple was in their wedding chamber, engaging in passionate activities for an entire day and night.
Heavenly conscience, Lin Xuan wasn't lingering over women; even as an advanced元婴 cultivator, he was exhausted. Fortunately, 凤舞九天诀 was a top-tier cultivation technique that strengthened his body, but it still left him feeling like he had fought a late-stage old monster.
The reason for this was twofold: one, Qinxin's injuries were worse than expected; two, using dual cultivation to replenish her innate essence took much longer than anticipated. Thankfully, his efforts weren't in vain, as his beloved wife was finally saved from the brink of death.
Now that Ou Yang Fairy had fully recovered from her injuries—aside from poisoning and essence loss—Lin Xuan felt a bit pale after such exertion.
"Lord, are you alright?"
Ou Yang leaned against Lin Xuan's chest, looking content. She no longer felt embarrassed; they were already so intimate for the night. "I need to meditate."
Lin Xuan’s eyes had regained clarity. Though dual cultivation was delightful, he wouldn’t get lost in it. He had been cultivating for years with the goal of achieving immortality.
"Alright, let me help you dress."
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Ou Yang didn't feel any disappointment; instead, she smiled warmly. "When two hearts are truly meant to be together, what does it matter if they're apart?"
She hoped her chosen partner wouldn’t just dally but would strive for ascension and spend less time on moonlit nights. She needed to focus on cultivating.
"Ha! This isn't necessary."
Though they were dual cultivation partners, Lin Xuan didn’t like having a woman dress him. With a wave of his sleeve, he transformed into a new green robe.
He then extended his hand and tapped his waist, causing several jade bottles to fly out from his storage bag.
With the dual infant and pill in his body, he wasn't too concerned about essence loss, but in this strange Indeterminate River, he wanted to recover as quickly as possible. He had a bad feeling that he shouldn’t be complacent.
He swallowed various medicinal pills and sat cross-legged, fingers forming seals on his knees as he began meditating to restore his power.
"Lord, why haven't you come out yet?"
Outside the cave, a beautiful girl with a melancholic expression waited by the entrance. She had been waiting for nearly two days.
She looked around, realizing that this place was once her palace a million years ago.
That drop of blood must be hers.
With determination, she clenched her fists and turned to look at the cave behind her, sighing softly. "Lord is good in everything, but he's too sentimental."
This was undoubtedly an advantage, but Lord knew so many beautiful female cultivators.
As a result, she couldn't help feeling resentful.
She had secretly used her powers to peek inside when she wasn’t bothered by waiting.
Her face flushed with excitement and a hint of resentment.
"Lord, this heartless radish."
Though she said it, she couldn’t be angry. After two hundred years, she had always relied on Lord for everything. His care was boundless; every time she felt resentful, he would remind her of his kindness.
Not only did the little girl not get upset, but she was relieved that Xiao Tao had fallen asleep again. If she were awake, with her fiery personality, things might have gotten out of hand.

"Phew!"
Just as she was thinking this, a loud rumbling sound echoed in the cave entrance. The door slowly opened.
"Lord!"
The girl turned to see Lin Xuan’s familiar face, feeling a bit awkward. She knew his feelings and was worried about causing trouble with Ou Yang.
Fortunately, her smile remained unchanged. "Phew," Lin Xuan relaxed, his anxious expression vanishing completely.
Ou Yang watched this scene but didn’t feel jealous; she already knew Qinxin's feelings for Moonlight and understood their master-servant relationship was more like a parent-child bond to Lin Xuan.
To be honest, even though they had dual cultivation ties, Ou Yang’s importance in his heart couldn't match the little girl’s. After all, two hundred years of companionship made her inseparable from him.
Thus, she didn’t harbor any resentment towards Moonlight and instead wanted to maintain a harmonious relationship with Lin Xuan for their happiness together.
Unlike ordinary women who might be jealous or competitive, Ou Yang had lived for over three centuries and understood the importance of harmony in relationships.
"If I treat her well, I believe she will do the same."
Seeing Moonlight embrace Lin Xuan, Ou Yang’s face remained serene as she waited by his side.
After a while, Lin Xuan realized he had been neglecting Ou Yang during their conversation with the little girl and felt guilty.
Though Qinxin was now his partner, he should introduce her properly. However, he found himself tongue-tied.
His strategic mind worked well in battle but struggled with words now.
"Lord, please leave for a moment so I can talk to Moonlight," Ou Yang understood Lin Xuan’s discomfort and kindly suggested.
"But"
"Don’t worry, Lord. Would I bully poor Moonlight?"
Since Qinxin had brought this up, Lin Xuan couldn't stay any longer. He trusted Ou Yang's intelligence; she wouldn’t mistreat Moonlight.
"Alright." Lin Xuan nodded and transformed into a streak of light, flying away to the distant sky.
