。只只是后期大妖族。对方不过化形初期顶峰。如何能瓒甘川州比，就算要费一番手脚，将她生擒活捉绝对没问题。 然而这一回，师峥依旧犯了非常严重的错误。 此女就境界来说，确实比他稍逊一筹，然而却具有天地灵禽的血统，实力比同阶妖族强上许多。
. It was only the later-stage demon race. The opponent had merely reached the peak of transformation, how could he compare to Zan Gan's Yanzhou? Even if it took some effort, capturing her alive would be no problem.
wǔ sè shén guāng gèng shì xuán miào dào jí chù 。
五色神光更是玄妙到极处。
However, this time, Shi Zheng still made a very serious mistake.
suī rán zuì zhōng hái shì zì jǐ jì gāo yī chóu ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng duì fāng shēng qín huó zhuō bù guò shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
虽然最终还是自己技高一筹，但想要将对方生擒活捉不过是痴人说梦。
In terms of cultivation, she was indeed slightly inferior to him, but she possessed the bloodline of a celestial bird, making her much stronger than other demons at the same stage.
yī fān dà zhàn yǐ hòu ， nà nǚ zǐ yìng shì cóng tā yǎn pí dǐ xià táo tuō ， shī zhēng yòu jīng yòu nù 。 rán ér què wú kě nài hé 。
一番大战以后，那女子硬是从他眼皮底下逃脱，师峥又惊又怒。然而却无可奈何。
The Five-Colored Spirit Light was even more mysterious and profound.
biǎo miàn shàng 。 zhè shì qíng yǐ gào yí duàn luò ， rán ér dé bú dào de dōng xī shì zuì hǎo de ， nà nǚ zǐ de qì dù ， yuè fā de ràng xiǎo shī zi xīn zhé ， nòng dé tā lián xiū liàn de xīn qíng dōu méi yǒu le 。
表面上。这事情已告一段落，然而得不到的东西是最好的，那女子的气度，越发的让小狮子心折，弄得他连修炼的心情都没有了。
Although he ultimately won by skill, capturing her alive was nothing but a dream.
hǎo zài jīng guò yī fān dǎ tīng yǐ hòu ， zhōng yú jiāng nà nǚ zǐ de lái lì nòng qīng chǔ 。
好在经过一番打听以后，终于将那女子的来历弄清楚。
After a fierce battle, that woman managed to escape right under his nose. Shi Zheng was both shocked and angry, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
wǔ sè líng shān de shǎo zhǔ ， jù shuō bài le nà lǎo kǒng què wèi yì mǔ 。
五色灵山的少主，据说拜了那老孔雀为义母。
On the surface, this matter seemed resolved, but the more he thought of what he couldn't have, the more the young lion admired her demeanor, leaving him without any desire for cultivation.
guài bù dé zì jǐ de shēn fèn méi yòng ， yuán lái duì fāng bèi hòu ， yī yàng yǒu chuán shuō zhōng de wǔ jiē yāo zú ， shī zhēng huǎng rán dà wù 。
怪不得自己的身份没用，原来对方背后，一样有传说中的五阶妖族，师峥恍然大悟。
Fortunately, after some inquiries, he finally found out who she was.
rán de què gèng jiā huān xǐ le 。
然的却更加欢喜了。
She was the young master of Five-Colored Spirit Mountain and had supposedly taken that old peacock as a foster mother.
duì fāng de róng mào ， jiā shì ， xìng gé ， wú bù shì shàng shàng zhī xuǎn ， rú guǒ néng qǔ tā zuò shuāng xiū bàn lǚ ， nà jiāng xìng fú dào wú yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì 。
对方的容貌，家世，性格，无不是上上之选，如果能娶她做双修伴侣，那将幸福到无以复加的境地。
No wonder his identity didn’t work; it turned out she also had the bloodline of a five-stage demon race, Shi Zheng suddenly understood.
dāng rán ， cǐ shì hái xū fù wáng tóng yì 。
当然，此事还需父王同意。
And this made him even happier.
yuán běn yǐ wéi yào fèi yī fān kǒu shé ， nǎ zhī dào tiān shī shàng rén yī tīng jiù dà xǐ tóng yì ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， ér qiě hái shí fēn rè xīn de wèi zì jǐ cāo bàn qǐ qiú qīn de shì 。
原本以为要费一番口舌，哪知道天狮上人一听就大喜同意，不仅如此，而且还十分热心的为自己操办起求亲的事。
Her appearance, family background, and personality were all top-notch. If he could marry her for dual-cultivation, it would be bliss beyond compare.
“ fù wáng zhè me zuò ， nán dào bié yǒu yì tú ？”
“父王这么做，难道别有意图？”
Of course, his father’s consent was needed.
shī zhēng xīn zhōng yǒu xiē mí huò ， dàn tā yě lǎn de qù duō xiǎng le ， zhǐ yào néng měi rén zài huái ， qí tā de yòu hé bì qù duō cāo xīn lái 。
师峥心中有些迷惑，但他也懒得去多想了，只要能美人在怀，其他的又何必去多操心来。
He originally thought he’d have to go through a lot of trouble, but the Heavenly Lion Sage was overjoyed upon hearing this and even enthusiastically took charge of arranging the marriage.
jīng guò yī fān cāo bàn ， fù zǐ liǎ zhōng yú lái dào le wǔ sè líng shān 。
经过一番操办，父子俩终于来到了五色灵山。
"Is my father doing this for some ulterior motive?"
kě shì qíng bìng méi yǒu xiǎng xiàng de shùn lì 。 wǔ sè xiān zi suī rán xiǎng yào pìn lǐ ， dàn xīn téng ài nǚ ， yī jiù yào tā zì jǐ ná zhǔ yì 。
可事情并没有想象的顺利。五色仙子虽然想要聘礼，但心疼爱女，依旧要她自己拿主意。
Shi Zheng felt somewhat puzzled but didn’t bother thinking about it too much. As long as she was in his arms, he didn't care about anything else.
nà zěn me xíng ？
那怎么行？
After a series of arrangements, Father and Son finally arrived at Five-Colored Spirit Mountain.
dāng chū zì jǐ qiú ài bù chéng ， bù xī chí qiáng xiāng bī ， duì fāng zǎo jiù hèn sǐ le zì jǐ ， zěn me kě néng dā yìng chéng wéi zì jǐ de shuāng xiū bàn lǚ 。
当初自己求爱不成，不惜持强相逼，对方早就恨死了自己，怎么可能答应成为自己的双修伴侣。
However, things weren’t as smooth as expected. Although the Five-Colored Fairy wanted some gifts, she still insisted that her daughter make the decision herself due to her love for her.
“ bù yòng jí ， běn wáng xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。 yī qiè zì rán yǒu wǒ tì nǐ zuò zhǔ 。” tiān shī shàng rén zuǐ chún wēi dòng ， shēng yīn zhí jiē chuán rù ér zi de nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng 。
“不用急，本王心中有数。一切自然有我替你做主。”天狮上人嘴唇微动，声音直接传入儿子的脑海之中。
How could this be allowed?
tīng fù wáng zhè me shuō ， shī zhēng xīn zhōng suī rán yī jiù tǎn tè ， dàn zì rán bù hǎo zài kāi kǒu biǎo shì fǎn duì de yì jiàn le 。 xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài shuō 。
听父王这么说，师峥心中虽然依旧忐忑，但自然不好再开口表示反对的意见了。先看看情况再说。
Back then, he had forced himself on her despite her rejection, and she hated him deeply; how could she agree to become his dual-cultivation partner now?
mèng rú yān liǎn shàng bù dòng shēng sè ， měi mù zhōng què yǒu yì cǎi shǎn guò ， zhè kě wù de lǎo shī zi ， zěn me huì yōng yǒu mèi huò tiān xuán dān zhè yàng de nì tiān zhī wù 。
梦如嫣脸上不动声色，美目中却有异彩闪过，这可恶的老狮子，怎么会拥有魅惑天玄丹这样的逆天之物。
"Be patient. I have everything under control. Everything will be handled by me," the Heavenly Lion Sage whispered into his mind.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Hearing this from his father, Shi Zheng was still uneasy but couldn’t voice any objections anymore. He would wait and see how things unfolded.
rú cǐ yī lái ， tā qǐ bù shì jiāng zì jǐ de hǎo shì gěi jiǎo le ？
如此一来，他岂不是将自己的好事给搅了？
Dream Ruyan’s face remained calm, but her eyes sparkled with a hint of anger at that old lion who possessed such an extraordinary charm-inducing Heavenly Xuan Pill.
jiū jìng gāi zěn me náo huí ne ？
究竟该怎么挠回呢？
How dare he ruin my good fortune?
duì yú shī wáng fù zǐ ， mèng rú yān hèn dé yá dōu yǎng le 。
对于狮王父子，梦如嫣恨得牙都痒了。
What should she do now?
lín xuān zé yī jiù zhèng jīn wēi zuò ， zhè xì dào zhēn shì mán hǎo kàn de 。
林轩则依旧正襟危坐，这戏倒真是蛮好看的。
For Dream Ruyan, the Lion King and his son were objects of intense hatred.
yòu guò le yuē bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yī zhèn xì wēi de jiǎo bù shēng chuán lái ， suí hòu xiāng fēng piāo rù bí duān 。
又过了约半盏茶的功夫，一阵细微的脚步声传来，随后香风飘入鼻端。
Lin Xuan remained seated. This was quite an entertaining show.
zhè wèi ， hǎo shú 。
这味，好熟。
After about half a cup of tea’s time, faint footsteps sounded, followed by a fragrant breeze entering his nostrils.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn sè yě yī xià zi kuáng biàn qǐ lái le 。
以林轩的城府，脸色也一下子狂变起来了。
This scent… it's so familiar.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， mù guāng luò xiàng dà diàn de rù kǒu 。
林轩抬起头，目光落像大殿的入口。
With Lin Xuan’s composure, his face suddenly turned pale with shock.
yī miáo tiáo xiān xiù de nǚ zǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一苗条纤秀的女子映入眼帘。
He raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the grand hall.
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu cāi cè ， dàn lín xuān de hū xī ， hái shì yī xià zi biàn dé jí cù ， mèng lǐ xún nǐ qiān bǎi dù ， què zài nà dēng huǒ lán shān chù 。
尽管心中隐隐有猜测，但林轩的呼吸，还是一下子变得急促，梦里寻你千百度，却在那灯火阑珊处。
A slender woman appeared in his vision.
fèng méi xiù mù ， xiāng jī yù fū ， jǐn guǎn liǎng rén jiàn miàn de shí jiān bù duō ， dàn nà wǔ guān méi yǎn ， zǎo yǐ yìng rù le zì jǐ de nèi xīn shēn chù 。
凤眉秀目，香肌玉肤，尽管两人见面的时间不多，但那五官眉眼，早已映入了自己的内心深处。
Despite his vague suspicions, Lin Xuan’s breathing became rapid as if he had found her after searching for a thousand days.
běn yīn shān mài chūn fēng yī dù ， fū qī liǎ yǐ yǒu shù shí zài wèi jiàn le 。
本阴山脉春风一度，夫妻俩已有数十载未见了。
Her phoenix-like eyebrows and delicate eyes, her fair skin—although they hadn’t met much, these features were deeply etched into his heart.
lín xuān yě bú shì méi yǒu dǎ tīng guò ， rán ér què fēn háo yě méi yǒu xiàn suǒ 。
林轩也不是没有打听过，然而却分毫也没有线索。
After the春风一度 in the Yin Mountains, it had been decades since he last saw his beloved wife.
lín xuān zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， huì zài cǐ chù ， yǔ ài qī ， zài cì xiāng féng 。
林轩做梦也不曾想，会在此处，与爱妻，再次相逢。
Lin Xuan hadn’t heard anything about this meeting either; he never imagined that he would meet her again here.
xīn xǐ zhī yú ， tā kàn xiàng tiān shī shàng rén fù zǐ de mù guāng ， biàn dé bù shàn yǐ jí 。
欣喜之余，他看向天狮上人父子的目光，变得不善以极。
Overwhelmed with joy, his gaze towards the Heavenly Lion Sage and his son turned extremely unfriendly.
shā fù zhī chóu ， duó qī zhī hèn ， shì wèi bù gòng dài tiān ， hēng hēng ， bù jiāng nǐ liǎ chōu hún liàn pò ， wǒ zhè lín xuān liǎng gè zì jīn tiān jiù dào guò lái xiě le 。
杀父之仇，夺妻之恨，是为不共戴天，哼哼，不将你俩抽魂炼魄，我这林轩两个字今天就倒过来写了。
The grudge of killing his father and the hatred for taking away his wife were as deep as a mountain. He wouldn’t write 林轩 backwards today if it weren’t for this.
xīn zhōng è hěn hěn de xiǎng zhe ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān què fēn háo yì sè bù lù ， bì jìng nà tiān shī shàng rén yě shì lí hé qī yāo zú ， xiǎng yào duì fù ， yě bìng bú shì xiǎng xiàng de nà me róng yì 。
心中恶狠狠的想着，不过表面上，林轩却分毫异色不露，毕竟那天狮上人也是离合期妖族，想要对付，也并不是想象的那么容易。
Though he harbored these dark thoughts, Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. After all, the Heavenly Lion Sage was also at the Separation stage; dealing with him wasn’t as easy as imagined.
lín xuān yǎn shén de xì wēi biàn huà ， bìng méi yǒu rén zhù yì 。 cǐ shí cǐ kè ， suǒ yǒu rén de mù guāng 。 dōu luò zài dà diàn rù kǒu ， nà wèi měi lì nǚ zǐ de shēn yǐng shàng le 。
林轩眼神的细微变化，并没有人注意。此时此刻，所有人的目光。都落在大殿入口，那位美丽女子的身影上了。
No one noticed Lin Xuan's subtle changes in his gaze. At that moment, everyone's attention was on the beautiful woman entering from the grand hall entrance.
qīng guó qīng chéng zhī sè ， jiù róng mào lái shuō ， yǔ páng biān de rú yān xiān zi xiāng bǐ ， yě háo bù xùn sè 。
倾国倾城之色，就容貌来说，与旁边的如嫣仙子相比，也毫不逊色。
Her beauty rivaled that of Ruyan Fairy. In terms of appearance alone, she didn't fall short compared to her.
zhèng què de shuō ， liǎng nǚ chūn lán qiū jú ， gè yǒu dòng rén zhī chù 。
正确的说，两女春兰秋菊，各有动人之处。
To be precise, both women were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums—each had its own charm.
huà xíng hòu qī ！
化形后期！
Later-stage transformed!
lín xuān shén shí zài ài qī shēn shàng sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng biàn dé yuè fā de jīng xǐ qǐ lái le ， suī rán cóng yāo lì bō dòng ， yīng gāi shì gāng wǎng jìn jí ， dàn què shí shì hòu qī dà yāo shòu wú yí 。
林轩神识在爱妻身上扫过，表情变得越发的惊喜起来了，虽然从妖力波动，应该是刚网晋级，但确实是后期大妖兽无疑。
Lin Xuan's spiritual sense swept over his beloved wife, making him even more delighted. Although he could tell from the demon power fluctuations that she had just ascended, she was undoubtedly a later-stage great beast.
guǒ rán bù kuì shì tiān dì líng qín ， jì de nuǎn huǎn shuō guò ， suī rán hěn xī bó ， dàn tā hái yōng yǒu xiē wēi fèng huáng xuè tǒng de 。
果然不愧是天地灵禽，记得暖缓说过，虽然很稀薄，但她还拥有些微凤凰血统的。
Indeed, she didn’t disappoint as an earth spirit; Nuan Huan had mentioned that though her phoenix bloodline was very thin, it still existed.
gū dōng ！
咕咚！
Throat-clearing sounds entered his ears. Shi Zheng, upon seeing his beloved, couldn't help but swallow hard.
tūn kǒu shuǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà shī zhēng zhòu rán jiàn dào mèng zhōng qíng rén ， rěn bú zhù kuáng yàn tuò mò 。
吞口水的声音传入耳朵，却是那师峥骤然见到梦中情人，忍不住狂咽唾沫。
"Mother, calling me?"
“ yì mǔ ， mí jiào wǒ ？”
“义母，弥叫我？”
The Five-Colored Fairy smiled and said, "Yuyu, Mother has come. According to convention, you should have just finished your cultivation, so I shouldn’t disturb you. However, today, Five-Colored Spirit Mountain received distinguished guests. These two seniors are people you should meet."
“ yú ér ， mí lái le ， àn lǐ ， mí gāng gāng jìn jí ， wǒ shì bù gāi dǎ rǎo chēng xiū xíng dì ， dàn jīn rì wǔ sè líng shān lái le jiā kè ， zhè liǎng gè qián bèi ， mí yīng gāi jiàn shàng yī jiàn de 。” wǔ sè xiān zi hé yán yuè sè de kāi kǒu le ， kàn dé chū lái ， tā duì kǒng què ， zhēn de hěn chǒng ài 。
“娱儿，弥来了，按理，猕刚刚晋级，我是不该打扰称修行地，但今日五色灵山来了佳客，这两个前辈，弥应该见上一见的。”五色仙子和颜悦色的开口了，看得出来，她对孔雀，真的很宠爱。
Hearing this, Yuyu’s eyes flickered towards the others present.
tīng yì mǔ zhè yàng shuō ， yú yú měi mù liú zhuǎn ， xiàng zài zuò de jǐ rén wàng le guò lái 。
听义母这样说，娱娱美目流转，向在座的几人望了过来。
Her face turned pale!
liǎn sè kuáng biàn ！
脸色狂变！
Apart from her mother, there were actually two Separation-stage beings here.
chú le mǔ qīn yǐ wài ， zài zuò de jū rán hái yǒu liǎng míng lí hé qī cún zài 。
除了母亲以外，在座的居然还有两名离合期存在。
"This is Senior Heaven Heart Valley's Heavenly Lion Sage. His abilities are vast and powerful, renowned for his bravery among us," the Five-Colored Fairy smiled.
“ yú ér ， zhè wèi shì shī xīn gǔ de tiān shī qián bèi ， shàng rén de shén tōng dà kāi dà hé ， zài wǒ děng lí hé qī cún zài zhōng ， yě shì yǐ yǒng měng zhù chēng de 。” wǔ sè xiān zi wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“娱儿，这位是狮心谷的天狮前辈，上人的神通大开大阖，在我等离合期存在中，也是以勇猛著称的。”五色仙子微笑着开口了。
The peacock nodded and bowed slightly, showing some respect as she was a five-stage demon race.
kǒng què diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yíng yíng yī fú ， bì jìng duì fāng shì wǔ jiē yāo zú ， duō shǎo yě yào biǎo xiàn yī xiē jìng yì de 。
孔雀点了点头，盈盈一福，毕竟对方是五阶妖族，多少也要表现一些敬意的。
"Fair Lady"
“ xiān zi ”
“仙子”
Shi Zheng rubbed his hands together, full of admiration.
shī zhēng cuō le chá shǒu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì ài mù 。
师峥搓了槎手，脸上满是爱慕。
However, when Jie Huan’s gaze swept over him, it didn’t linger; she ignored him completely.
rán ér jiě huǎn mù guāng zài tā shēn shàng sǎo guò ， què gēn běn méi zuò fēn háo tíng liú ， zhí jiē wú shì diào le 。
然而姐缓目光在他身上扫过，却根本没做分毫停留，直接无视掉了。
Shi Zheng’s expression froze. Being treated with such contempt hurt more than being verbally abused. He was utterly worthless to her.
shī zhēng bù yóu de biǎo qíng yī jiāng ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng bǐ duì tā pò kǒu dà mà hái yào nán guò ， gēn běn jiù shì zì jǐ wèi wú wù 。
师峥不由得表情一僵，这种情况比对他破口大骂还要难过，根本就视自己为无物。
How dare you!
kě wù ！
可恶！
His eyes flashed with resentment as he had never been so disrespected by a woman before.
tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yuàn dú ， cóng lái méi yǒu bèi nǚ zǐ rú cǐ qīng shì guò 。
他的眼中闪过一丝怨毒，从来没有被女子如此轻视过。
The mix of emotions was complex, love and hate intertwined.
xīn zhōng zī wèi ér fù zá ， duì yuán yú ài hèn jiāo jiā 。
心中滋味儿复杂，对援娱爱恨交加。
Of course, now wasn’t the time to say anything.
dāng rán cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě bù hǎo kāi kǒu biǎo shì shén me 。
当然此时此刻，也不好开口表示什么。
The Five-Colored Fairy’s voice continued: "Yuyu, please meet Fair Lady Ruyan. Her reputation is well-known to you; she once single-handedly killed thousands of cultivators and currently oversees the Boundless Sea Pavilion. She is a woman who can hold her own against men and is my good friend. If you have the chance, ask her for guidance."
wǔ sè xiān zi de shēng yīn ， yòu chuán rù ěr lǐ ：“ héng yú ， zài jiā jiàn guò rú yān xiān zi ， tā de wēi míng xiǎng bì mí yě tīng guò ， zhí zhǎng tiān yá hǎi gé ， wǔ bǎi nián qián céng yǐ yī jǐ zhī lì miè shā le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎi shì wǒ děng nǚ zǐ zhōng jīn dòng bù ràng xū méi de rén wù ， yě shì mǔ qīn de hǎo yǒu ， mí ruò yǒu jī huì ， kě qǐng xiān zi hǎo hǎo zhǐ diǎn yī xià de 。”
五色仙子的声音，又传入耳里：“横娱，再加见过如嫣仙子，她的威名想必弥也听过，执掌天涯海阁，五百年前曾以一己之力灭杀了数以万计的修仙者，乃是我等女子中巾恫不让须眉的人物，也是母亲的好友，弥若有机会，可请仙子好好指点一下的。”
The peacock turned away, but this time, she couldn’t maintain her coldness. First, she was taken aback; then, her emotions seemed to be out of control.
kǒng què tīng le ， zài cì zhuǎn guò jiāo qū ， rán ér zhè yī huí ， tā què zài yě wú fǎ bǎo chí lěng mò ， xiān shì yī è ， suí hòu qíng xù jìng fǎng fú yǒu xiē shī kòng le 。
孔雀听了，再次转过娇躯，然而这一回，她却再也无法保持冷漠，先是一愕，随后情绪竟仿佛有些失控了。
Her face changed constantly—surprise, joy, stability, and a hint of anxiety.
liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gèng shì biàn huà bù yǐ 。
脸上的表情更是变化不已。
She didn't hear what the mother said; who cared about being the top female cultivator in Yunzhou? At this moment, all that mattered was one person.
jīng è ， kuáng xǐ ， yǐn wěn de ， què yǒu dài zhe yì diǎn jiāo lǜ 。
惊愕，狂喜，隐稳的，却有带着一点焦虑。
"Elder Sister."
yì mǔ shuō shén me ， tā wán quán méi yǒu tīng qīng chǔ ， shén me yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， yǔ zì jǐ yǒu hé guān xì ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de yǎn zhōng 。 jǐn shèng xià yī rén ér yǐ 。
义母说什么，她完全没有听清楚，什么云州第一女修，与自己有何关系，此时此刻，她的眼中。仅剩下一人而已。
"Husband."
. It was only the later-stage demon race. The opponent had merely reached the peak of transformation, how could he compare to Zan Gan's Yanzhou? Even if it took some effort, capturing her alive would be no problem.
However, this time, Shi Zheng still made a very serious mistake.
In terms of cultivation, she was indeed slightly inferior to him, but she possessed the bloodline of a celestial bird, making her much stronger than other demons at the same stage.
The Five-Colored Spirit Light was even more mysterious and profound.
Although he ultimately won by skill, capturing her alive was nothing but a dream.
After a fierce battle, that woman managed to escape right under his nose. Shi Zheng was both shocked and angry, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
On the surface, this matter seemed resolved, but the more he thought of what he couldn't have, the more the young lion admired her demeanor, leaving him without any desire for cultivation.

Of course, his father’s consent was needed.
He originally thought he’d have to go through a lot of trouble, but the Heavenly Lion Sage was overjoyed upon hearing this and even enthusiastically took charge of arranging the marriage.
"Is my father doing this for some ulterior motive?"
Shi Zheng felt somewhat puzzled but didn’t bother thinking about it too much. As long as she was in his arms, he didn't care about anything else.
After a series of arrangements, Father and Son finally arrived at Five-Colored Spirit Mountain.
However, things weren’t as smooth as expected. Although the Five-Colored Fairy wanted some gifts, she still insisted that her daughter make the decision herself due to her love for her.

Dream Ruyan’s face remained calm, but her eyes sparkled with a hint of anger at that old lion who possessed such an extraordinary charm-inducing Heavenly Xuan Pill.
How dare he ruin my good fortune?
What should she do now?
For Dream Ruyan, the Lion King and his son were objects of intense hatred.
Lin Xuan remained seated. This was quite an entertaining show.
After about half a cup of tea’s time, faint footsteps sounded, followed by a fragrant breeze entering his nostrils.
This scent… it's so familiar.
With Lin Xuan’s composure, his face suddenly turned pale with shock.
He raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the grand hall.

Though he harbored these dark thoughts, Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. After all, the Heavenly Lion Sage was also at the Separation stage; dealing with him wasn’t as easy as imagined.
No one noticed Lin Xuan's subtle changes in his gaze. At that moment, everyone's attention was on the beautiful woman entering from the grand hall entrance.
Her beauty rivaled that of Ruyan Fairy. In terms of appearance alone, she didn't fall short compared to her.
To be precise, both women were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums—each had its own charm.
Later-stage transformed!
Lin Xuan's spiritual sense swept over his beloved wife, making him even more delighted. Although he could tell from the demon power fluctuations that she had just ascended, she was undoubtedly a later-stage great beast.
Indeed, she didn’t disappoint as an earth spirit; Nuan Huan had mentioned that though her phoenix bloodline was very thin, it still existed.
Throat-clearing sounds entered his ears. Shi Zheng, upon seeing his beloved, couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Mother, calling me?"
The Five-Colored Fairy smiled and said, "Yuyu, Mother has come. According to convention, you should have just finished your cultivation, so I shouldn’t disturb you. However, today, Five-Colored Spirit Mountain received distinguished guests. These two seniors are people you should meet."
Hearing this, Yuyu’s eyes flickered towards the others present.
Her face turned pale!
Apart from her mother, there were actually two Separation-stage beings here.
"This is Senior Heaven Heart Valley's Heavenly Lion Sage. His abilities are vast and powerful, renowned for his bravery among us," the Five-Colored Fairy smiled.
The peacock nodded and bowed slightly, showing some respect as she was a five-stage demon race.
"Fair Lady"
Shi Zheng rubbed his hands together, full of admiration.
However, when Jie Huan’s gaze swept over him, it didn’t linger; she ignored him completely.
Shi Zheng’s expression froze. Being treated with such contempt hurt more than being verbally abused. He was utterly worthless to her.
How dare you!
His eyes flashed with resentment as he had never been so disrespected by a woman before.
The mix of emotions was complex, love and hate intertwined.
Of course, now wasn’t the time to say anything.
The Five-Colored Fairy’s voice continued: "Yuyu, please meet Fair Lady Ruyan. Her reputation is well-known to you; she once single-handedly killed thousands of cultivators and currently oversees the Boundless Sea Pavilion. She is a woman who can hold her own against men and is my good friend. If you have the chance, ask her for guidance."
The peacock turned away, but this time, she couldn’t maintain her coldness. First, she was taken aback; then, her emotions seemed to be out of control.
Her face changed constantly—surprise, joy, stability, and a hint of anxiety.
She didn't hear what the mother said; who cared about being the top female cultivator in Yunzhou? At this moment, all that mattered was one person.
"Elder Sister."
"Husband."
