rú yān xiān zi !
如嫣仙子!
Xiao Yan Fairy!
zhū yāo yī è zhī xià ， liǎn sè dùn dōng kuáng biàn le 。
猪妖一愕之下，脸色顿咚狂变了。
The pig demon's expression changed wildly in an instant.
shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng nà màn tiān de lì qì quán bù shōu rù le shēn tǐ lǐ ， suí hòu gōng gōng jìng jìng de shù shǒu ér lì ：“ xiǎo de jiàn guò xiān zi ， qǐng xiān zi shù zuì ， nín yě qīng chǔ ， xiǎo de yīn wèi xuè mài yuán gù ， shén shí bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì ruò dé duō ， gù ér jìng méi fā xiàn xiān zi de zōng jì ， qǐng nín qiān wàn bú yào jiè yì 。
深深呼吸，将那漫天的戾气全部收入了身体里，随后恭恭敬敬的束手而立：“小的见过仙子，请仙子恕罪，您也清楚，小的因为血脉缘故，神识比同阶修士弱得多，故而竟没发现仙子的踪迹，请您千万不要介意。
Taking a deep breath, it swallowed all the malevolent qi that surrounded it and stood respectfully before Xiao Yan Fairy. "Your servant greets you, please forgive me for my mistake. You know well that due to my bloodline, my divine consciousness is much weaker than others of the same rank, so I failed to notice your presence. Please do not take offense."
“ bà le 。
“罢了。
"Enough," Xiao Yan Fairy said with a wave of her hand.
mèng rú yān yù shǒu yī fú ， tā suī rán xìng gé yǒu diǎn gū pì ， dàn bìng bù xiǎo qì ， duì fāng jì yǐ rèn yòu hé bì yǔ yī huà xíng qī de wǎn bèi jīn jīn jì jiào ne ？
梦如嫣玉手一拂，她虽然性格有点孤僻，但并不小气，对方既已认又何必与一化形期的晚辈斤斤计较呢？
She dismissed it easily. Although she was somewhat aloof in nature, she wasn't petty. The pig demon had already acknowledged its mistake; why argue over something trivial with a junior from the formation stage?
“ nǐ jiā zhǔ rén zài me ？” mèng rú yān yún dàn fēng qīng de kāi kǒu le 。
“你家主人在么？”梦如嫣云淡风清的开口了。
"Is your master here?" Xiao Yan Fairy asked calmly.
zhū yāo shàng wèi huí dá ， lín xuān què méi shāo yī dòng ， yǒu xiē yà rán de xiàng zuǒ cè fāng zhuǎn guò tóu ， tóng shí yǎn jīng wēi mī ， biǎo qíng míng xiǎn yīn chén le xià qù 。
猪妖尚未回答，林轩却眉梢一动，有些讶然的像左侧方转过头，同时眼睛微眯，表情明显阴沉了下去。
Before the pig demon could respond, Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he turned his head to the left in surprise. His eyes narrowed and his expression darkened.
“ xiǎo dì ， zěn me le ？” rú yān xiān zi yī è ， měi móu zhōng shǎn guò yì wài zhī sè 。
“小弟，怎么了？”如嫣仙子一愕，美眸中闪过意外之色。
"What’s wrong, little brother?" Xiao Yan Fairy was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.
tóng jí
同级
At the same time,
“ yǒu yī duì yāo shòu cháo zhè biān lái le ， qí zhōng xiū wèi zuì jīng shēn de yí gè ， jū rán yǔ jiě jiě qí yú huà xíng qī de yāo zú ， yě yǒu shù rén zhī duō 。
“有一队妖兽朝这边来了，其中修为最精深的一个，居然与姐姐其余化形期的妖族，也有数人之多。
"There is a group of beasts approaching from this direction. The most powerful among them has several others at the formation stage, including your sisters," Lin Xuan said with a frown on his face.
lín xuān liǎn sè nán kàn de shuō 。
林轩脸色难看的说。
"What?" Xiao Yan Fairy's expression turned icy as she closed her eyes and released her divine consciousness.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
"It’s true. His power is familiar; if I’m not mistaken, it belongs to the Lion Monster. His territory should be in Yunzhou, so why would he come here to the Five-Color Spirit Mountain?"
mèng rú yān tīng le ， yù róng yě bīng hán xià lái ， bì shàng měi móu ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。
梦如嫣听了，玉容也冰寒下来，闭上美眸，将神识放出。
The pig demon's expression was one of confusion.
“ jū rán shì zhēn de ， nà yāo lì yǒu xiē shú ， ruò wǒ méi yǒu nòng cuò ， yīng gāi shì shī guài wù ， tā de dì pán míng míng wèi yú yún zhōu nèi lù ， pǎo dào zhè wǔ sè líng shān zuò shén me ？ zi yǒu diǎn bù jiě de shuō 。
“居然是真的，那妖力有些熟，若我没有弄错，应该是狮怪物，他的地盘明明位于云州内陆，跑到这五色灵山做什么？子有点不解的说。
Xiao Yan Fairy turned to Lin Xuan with a puzzled look on her face.
gǔ de lǎo rú yān xiān
谷的老如嫣仙
"Oh, Sister knows him?" she asked.
“ ó ， jiě jiě rèn shí tā &？”
“哦，姐姐认识他&？”
"Of course," Xiao Yan Fairy replied. "In this world, excluding humans and demons, there are only a few old monsters at the separation stage. They live much longer than ordinary cultivators, so naturally they would have interacted."
“ zhè shì zì rán ， fàng yǎn rén jiè ， suàn shàng rén yāo liǎng zú ， lí hé qī de lǎo guài wù yě jiù liáo liáo jǐ gè ， shòu yuán yòu bǐ pǔ tōng xiū shì zhǎng dé duō ， xiāng hù zhī jiān ， zì rán shì dǎ guò jiāo dào le 。
“这是自然，放眼人界，算上人妖两族，离合期的老怪物也就寥寥几个，寿元又比普通修士长得多，相互之间，自然是打过交道了。
Before their conversation could continue, ethereal fairy music began to fill the air.
jiě dì èr rén huà yīn wèi luò ， jiù yǒu piāo miǎo de xiān lè chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
姐弟二人话音未落，就有飘渺的仙乐传入耳朵。
The melody was incredibly soothing, drawing both of them to turn and look.
nà yīn yuè yōu yáng yǐ jí ， liǎng rén bù yóu de zhuǎn tóu wàng le guò qù 。
那音乐悠扬以极，两人不由得转头望了过去。
A magnificent chariot appeared before their eyes.
yī liàng jīng měi huá lì de shòu chē yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
一辆精美华丽的兽车映入了眼帘里。
This chariot was over eight meters long, crafted from an unknown material with a graceful design. A layer of talismans enveloped its surface, emitting faint echoes of fairy music.
cǐ chē cháng zú yǒu bā zhàng yú ， bù zhī dào yòng shén me cái liào suǒ zhì ， zào xíng yōu yǎ yǐ jí ， biǎo miàn
此车长足有八丈余，不知道用什么材料所制，造型优雅以极，表面
Surrounding the chariot were seven or eight formation-stage demons, towering figures exuding a menacing aura.
bèi yī piàn fú wén bāo guǒ ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu xiān lè fàng chū 。
被一片符文包裹，隐隐还有仙乐放出。
Among these, only two humans stood out as they arranged themselves in neat rows, resembling imperial guards.
ér zài shòu chē liǎng cè ， zé cù yōng zhe qī bā míng huà xíng qī de yāo zú ， yí gè gè gāo dà wēi měng ， sēn rán zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
而在兽车两侧，则簇拥着七八名化形期的妖族，一个个高大威猛，森然之气沛然而出。
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm. He showed no surprise but quickly returned to his usual composed demeanor.
chú le zhè xiē huà xíng qī de guài wù ， qí yú yāo zú ， yě dōu shì sān jiē yǐ shàng de ， xíng tài xiōng è ， què pái liè dé zhěng zhěng qí qí ， jiù rú dì wáng gōng wèi xiāng sì 。
除了这些化形期的怪物，其余妖族，也都是三阶以上的，形态凶恶，却排列得整整齐齐，就如帝王宫卫相似。
The chariot moved swiftly and came to a stop just over ten meters away from the siblings.
dī diào shì lín xuān de yuán zé ， jiàn dào cǐ mù ， liǎn shàng zì rán lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， dāng rán ， jǐn jǐn yī shǎn ér guò ， hěn kuài yòu huī fù wú jīng wú xǐ de biǎo qíng le 。
低调是林轩的原则，见到此幕，脸上自然露出不以为然之色，当然，仅仅一闪而过，很快又恢复无惊无喜的表情了。
"Sky Lion, why are you not at Lion Heart Valley? What brings you to Five-Color Spirit Mountain?" Xiao Yan Fairy's cold voice echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. Known for her grumpy nature, she rarely showed any warmth except towards Lin Xuan.
nà shòu chē sù dù jí kuài ， jǐ xī zhī jiān ， jiù lái dào le jiě dì èr rén de yǎn qián 。
那兽车速度极快，几息之间，就来到了姐弟二人的眼前。
"Haha, it’s really Xiao Yan Fairy. So many years have passed since we last met, almost a century ago. You still look as beautiful as ever, but your temperament hasn’t changed," the Sky Lion elder said with a smile.
“ tiān shī ， nǐ bù dài zài shī xīn gǔ ， pǎo dào wǔ sè líng shān zuò shén me ？” mèng rú yān lěng lěng de huà yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ nǚ xìng gé gǔ guài shì chū le míng de ， chú le miàn duì lín xuān shí hé yán yuè sè ， biàn shì duì zhe qí tā lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， yě yī yàng méi yǒu hǎo liǎn sè 。
“天狮，你不待在狮心谷，跑到五色灵山做什么？”梦如嫣冷冷的话语传入耳朵，此女性格古怪是出了名的，除了面对林轩时和颜悦色，便是对着其他离合期老怪物，也一样没有好脸色。
The chariot's light slowed, and it stopped about ten meters away from them, still protected by its shield. Lin Xuan’s eyes gleamed as he could see everything inside clearly.
“ hē hē ， yuán lái shì rú yān xiān zi ， suì yuè yōu yōu ， nǐ wǒ shàng nóng yī bié ， chà bu duō yǐ
“呵呵，原来是如嫣仙子，岁月悠悠，你我上农一别，差不多已
Inside was spacious enough to seat seven or eight people.
yǒu bǎi nián zhī jiǔ ， xiān zi qīng lì rú xī ， zěn hé hái shì nà fù pí qì ？”
有百年之久，仙子清丽如昔，怎合还是那副脾气？”
Two men and five women sat there.
shòu chē líng guāng yī huǎn ， dùn shí zài shí yú zhàng wài tíng le xià lái ， suī rán yī jiù bèi hù zhào bāo guǒ ， dàn lín xuān yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn guò ， yī jiù jiāng nèi lǐ de qíng xíng kàn dé yì qīng èr chǔ 。
兽车灵光一缓，顿时在十余丈外停了下来，虽然依旧被护罩包裹，但林轩眼中精芒闪过，依旧将内里的情形看得一清二楚。
The man in the front had a towering figure, standing over two meters tall with broad shoulders and a wide nose. He wore a tiger-skin jacket, his bare skin dark and muscular, resembling an energetic lion.
cǐ chē kuān dà yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn zú zú zuò le qī bā gè rén de yàng zi 。
此车宽大以极，里面足足坐了七八个人的样子。
Though he concealed his aura, Lin Xuan could tell that this man was at the same stage as Xiao Yan Fairy.
liǎng nán wǔ nǚ 。
两男五女。
The other man looked to be around the same age, dressed in fine robes with a noble appearance, well-proportioned and handsome. While not as striking as Tian Xiaojian, he was far more attractive than Lin Xuan.
zuò zài shàng shǒu de nán zi shēn xíng xióng zhuàng yǐ jí ， gāo zú yǒu liǎng mǐ ， kuān kǒu kuò bí ， chuān zhe yī hǔ
坐在上首的男子身形雄壮以极，高足有两米，宽口阔鼻，穿着一虎
However, there was an underlying hint of wickedness in his eyes.
pí jiā ǎo ， luǒ lù chū lái de jī fū yǒu hēi zhuàng shí ， jiù xiàng yī chōng mǎn jīng lì de shī zi 。
皮夹袄，裸露出来的肌肤黝黑壮实，就像一充满精力的狮子。
As they say, one cannot judge a book by its cover. This young man was actually a late-stage formation demon.
suī rán shōu liǎn le qì xī ， bù guò lín xuān yī jiù néng gòu kàn chū tā yǔ jiě jiě tóng jí 。
虽然收敛了气息，不过林轩依旧能够看出他与姐姐同级。
In other words, don’t be fooled by his appearance; who knows how old this creature is?
zhì yú lìng yī míng nán zi ， kàn shàng qù zé yǔ zì jǐ chà bu duō dà nián tǎn guǎng 。
至于另一名男子，看上去则与自己差不多大年钽广。
The women didn't catch Lin Xuan's attention much. Though beautiful, their cultivation levels were negligible and merely servants.
jǐn páo yù dài ， yī fù shì jiā gōng zi dǎ bàn ， shēn cái yún chèn yǐ jí ， róng mào yě hěn shuài qì ， suī rán yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn xiāng bǐ ， yào lüè xùn yī chóu ， dàn bǐ qǐ lín xuān lái ， zé shuài dé bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
锦袍玉带，一副世家公子打扮，身材匀称以极，容貌也很帅气，虽然与田小剑相比，要略逊一筹，但比起林轩来，则帅得不可同日而语。
Knowing the vast diversity of demons, some could easily shed their demonic forms to take human form, often aligning themselves with powerful forces.
kě xī méi yǎn zhī jiān ， yǐn yǐn dài zhe jǐ fēn xié qì 。
可惜眉眼之间，隐隐带着几分邪气。
Lin Xuan glanced at them but paid no mind as he focused on the scene inside the chariot. Several divine consciousnesses swept over him, causing Lin Xuan's pupils to contract slightly, though his expression remained unchanged.
dàn sú huà shuō ， rén bù kě mào xiàng ， hǎi shuǐ bù kě dǒu liáng ， zhè nián qīng de nán zi ， jū rán shì yī míng huà xíng hòu qī de dà yāo zú 。
但俗话说，人不可貌相，海水不可斗量，这年轻的男子，居然是一名化形后期的大妖族。
As they say, better to avoid trouble if possible. He didn't want any unnecessary conflicts with this Sky Lion elder.
huàn jù huà shuō ， qiān wàn bú yào bèi tā de róng mào suǒ mí huò ， tiān zhī dào shì huó le duō shǎo nián de lǎo
换句话说，千万不要被他的容貌所迷惑，天知道是活了多少年的老
"Ha, your beauty remains as charming as ever, congratulations. Zeng'er, this is the renowned first female cultivator of Yunzhou. If you receive her guidance, it will be invaluable. Come and greet Fairy Xiao Yan," the Sky Lion elder turned to the young man.
jiā huo 。
家伙。
"Yes, Father."
zhì yú jǐ míng nǚ zǐ ， lín xuān dào bù zěn me zài yì ， suī rán zhǎng dé piào liàng ， dàn xiū wèi bù zhí yī
至于几名女子，林轩倒不怎么在意，虽然长得漂亮，但修为不值一
The young man nodded and stepped out of the chariot, his divine light flashing as he bowed respectfully. "Your servant, Zeng, greets Fairy Xiao Yan."
tí ， bù guò shì shì nǚ 。
提，不过是侍女。
"Enough," Xiao Yan Fairy waved her hand dismissively. Though she was cold by nature, she couldn't show a chilly face to juniors. Although curious about this Sky Lion elder's new son, she didn’t want to meddle in others' affairs.
yào zhī dào yāo shòu zhǒng lèi wàn qiān ， yǒu yī xiē yāo zú ， běn shēn méi yǒu shén me xiū liàn tiān fù 「 dàn què hěn róng yì jiù tuì qù yāo shēn ， biàn huà wéi rén xíng de 。
要知道妖兽种类万千，有一些妖族，本身没有什么修炼天赋「但却很容易就退去妖身，变化为人形的。
"Eh, this friend is..."
tā men cháng cháng yī fù yú yī xiē qiáng dà shì lì 。
他们常常依附于一些强大势力。
The five-stage demon glanced at Lin Xuan and showed signs of surprise. Even the old demons knew that Xiao Yan Fairy wasn’t indifferent towards men; why would she be involved with a young man?
lín xuān mù guāng zài jǐ nǚ shēn shàng sǎo guò ， jiù háo bù zài yì de lüè guò qù le 。
林轩目光在几女身上扫过，就毫不在意的略过去了。
Could it be a new disciple?
ér tā zài dǎ liàng chē nèi qíng xíng de shí hòu ， tóng yàng cí 、 dào jǐ lǚ shén shí zài shēn shàng sǎo guò 「 lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， dàn liǎn shàng què fēn háo yì sè bù lù 。
而他在打量车内情形的时候，同样磁、到几缕神识在身上扫过「林轩瞳孔微缩，但脸上却分毫异色不露。
No, that can't be right!
sú huà shuō ， duō yī shì bù rú shǎo yī shì ， méi yǒu hǎo chù ， tā kě bù xiǎng yǔ zhè tiān shī lǎo guài wù
俗话说，多一事不如少一事，没有好处，他可不想与这天狮老怪物
The Sky Lion lineage had been passed down for over a million years and only ever accepted female cultivators.
fā shēng wú duān de chōng tū 。
发生无端的冲突。
Xiao Yan Fairy sighed. Though her cold words were due to her personality, not because she wanted to fight an old demon.
“ hē hē ， xiān zi fēng cǎi yī rán ， kě xǐ kě hè ， zhēng ér ， zhè wèi jiù shì dà míng dǐng dǐng de yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， ruò néng dé dào tā zhǐ diǎn jǐ jù ， nǐ jiāng shòu yòng wú qióng ， hái bù guò lái gěi xiān zi jiàn lǐ me ？” tiān shī shàng rén zhuǎn guò tóu ， duì nà nián qīng nán zi kāi kǒu 。
“呵呵，仙子风采依然，可喜可贺，峥儿，这位就是大名鼎鼎的云州第一女修，若能得到她指点几句，你将受用无穷，还不过来给仙子见礼么？”天狮上人转过头，对那年轻男子开口。
"Brother is Xiao Yan's sworn brother," she said.
“ shì ， fù wáng 。
“是，父王。
"Brother?"
nián qīng nán zi diǎn diǎn tóu ， shēn shàng líng guāng shǎn dòng ， yǐ piāo rán cóng shòu fēng lǐ miàn chū lái le 。
年轻男子点点头，身上灵光闪动，已飘然从兽丰里面出来了。
Demons lived much longer than humans, but even for a separation-stage demon, this was unusual news. The Sky Lion elder’s mouth hung open in shock.
“ wǎn bèi shī zhēng ， jiàn guò rú yān xiān zi 。
“晚辈师峥，见过如嫣仙子。
"Um... Fairy, are you joking!" he swallowed and stammered out.
yī biān shuō ， yī biān wān yāo xíng lǐ ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gōng jìng yǐ jí 。
一边说，一边弯腰行礼，脸上的表情恭敬以极。
"Hmph, do I look like someone who would be fooling around with you?" Xiao Yan Fairy said coldly.
“ bà le 。
“罢了。
Lin Xuan took the opportunity to bow respectfully. "I am Lin Xuan, meeting Sky Lion friend."
mèng rú yān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， duì zhe xiǎo bèi ， tā dào bù hǎo ní chū yī fù lěng dàn de liǎn sè ， suī rán xīn zhōng yǒu xiē hào qí ， zhè tiān shī lǎo guài wù shén me shí hòu duō chū le yí gè ér zi ， dàn yě bù xiǎng qù duō guǎn bié rén de xián shì 。
梦如嫣摆了摆手，对着小辈，她倒不好霓出一副冷淡的脸色，虽然心中有些好奇，这天狮老怪物什么时候多出了一个儿子，但也不想去多管别人的闲事。
Though his tone showed respect, it was clear that he didn't see himself as inferior or superior. He seemed genuinely to consider himself a separation-stage cultivator.
Xiao Yan Fairy!
The pig demon's expression changed wildly in an instant.
Taking a deep breath, it swallowed all the malevolent qi that surrounded it and stood respectfully before Xiao Yan Fairy. "Your servant greets you, please forgive me for my mistake. You know well that due to my bloodline, my divine consciousness is much weaker than others of the same rank, so I failed to notice your presence. Please do not take offense."
"Enough," Xiao Yan Fairy said with a wave of her hand.
"Mistake."
She dismissed it easily. Although she was somewhat aloof in nature, she wasn't petty. The pig demon had already acknowledged its mistake; why argue over something trivial with a junior from the formation stage?
"Is your master here?" Xiao Yan Fairy asked calmly.
Before the pig demon could respond, Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he turned his head to the left in surprise. His eyes narrowed and his expression darkened.
"What’s wrong, little brother?" Xiao Yan Fairy was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.
At the same time,
"There is a group of beasts approaching from this direction. The most powerful among them has several others at the formation stage, including your sisters," Lin Xuan said with a frown on his face.
