yún zhōu wài hǎi miàn jī guǎng kuò ． bù guò yǐ lín xuān xiàn zài de xiū wèi shén tōng ． dùn guāng zhī xùn ， yě shì wài rén hěn nán xiǎng xiàng de 。[]
云州外海面积广阔．不过以林轩现在的修为神通．遁光之迅，也是外人很难想象的。[]
The outer sea of Yunzhou was vast. However, with Lin Xuan's current cultivation and divine power, his swift flight was something that outsiders could hardly imagine.
bǎi wàn lǐ de jù lí 、 yě bù guò huā le yī rì yī yè ér yǐ 。
百万里的距离、也不过花了一日一夜而已。
A distance of a million miles took him no more than a day and night.
dāng tài yáng cóng hǎi píng miàn shēng qǐ ， yuǎn chù yī qì shì huī hóng de líng shān yǐ yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
当太阳从海平面升起，远处一气势恢宏的灵山已映入了眼帘里。
When the sun rose from the horizon, a majestic spirit mountain loomed in front of his eyes.
zhòng yóu gù dì ． lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de fú xiàn chū jǐ fēn huái niàn zhī yì 。
重游故地．林轩脸上也不由得浮现出几分怀念之意。
Revisiting an old place, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
jì de shàng cì lái zhè lǐ ， yǔ tiān shī shàng rén xié lù xiāng yù 、 yī fān bō zhé ． què gèng yìn zhèng le zì jǐ yǔ yuàn yuàn de qíng yì 。
记得上次来这里，与天狮上人挟路相遇、一番波折．却更印证了自己与媛媛的情谊。
Remembering the last time he came here, he met Elder Heavenly Lion along the way, encountering some twists and turns, but it only deepened their bond with Yuanyuan.
liǎng qíng ruò shì cháng jiǔ shí ， yòu qǐ zài cháo zhāo mù mù 。
两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。
If two hearts are truly for each other, what does it matter if they can't be together every day?
suī rán yīn wèi hùn dùn yāo qì de yuán gù ． fū qī liǎ bù dé bù zàn shí fēn lí ， bù guò lín xuān xiāng xìn zǒng huì xiāng yù 。
虽然因为混沌妖气的缘故．夫妻俩不得不暂时分离，不过林轩相信总会相遇。
Although the chaotic demon aura forced them to temporarily part ways, Lin Xuan believed that they would meet again.
rú jīn jìn jiē lí hé ． jù lí zhǎng xiàng sī shǒu de mù biāo yòu gèng jìn le yī bù ． xiāng xìn yuàn yuàn jiàn le ． yě yí dìng huì fēi cháng gāo xìng de 。
如今进阶离合．距离长相斯守的目标又更进了一步．相信媛媛见了．也一定会非常高兴的。
Now that he had reached the Separation and Union stage, his goal of living together was closer. He was sure that Yuanyuan would be overjoyed upon seeing him.
suǒ wèi jìn xiāng qíng qiè ， yī xiǎng dào ài qī jù lí zhè lǐ yǐ jīng bù yuǎn ， lín xuān de xīn yě pēng pēng de tiào qǐ lái le zhè yǔ xīn jī chéng fǔ méi yǒu guān xì ， chún cuì shì zhēn qíng liú lù ér yǐ 。
所谓近乡情怯，一想到爱妻距离这里已经不远，林轩的心也嘭嘭的跳起来了这与心机城府没有关系，纯粹是真情流露而已。
The saying "near home makes one timid" came to mind as he thought about how close his beloved wife was. His heart raced with anticipation. This had nothing to do with cunning or scheming; it was simply a genuine emotion.
fǎng fú gǎn shòu dào lín xuān de xīn yì ． tiān jī fǔ lǐ ， yuè ér yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ． shuō yì diǎn yě bù chī cù shì piàn rén dì 。
仿佛感受到林轩的心意．天机府里，月儿幽幽的叹了口气．说一点也不吃醋是骗人地。
It seemed that Lin Xuan's feelings were sensed by the Moon in the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion, who sighed softly and admitted that she wasn't jealous at all—though how could she not be?
bù guò zì jǐ yòu néng rú hé ， nán dào hái néng sā jiāo chǎo nào shèn zhì shì lí kāi shào yé me ？
不过自己又能如何，难道还能撒娇吵闹甚至是离开少爷么？
What could she do? Could she pout and fuss, or even leave her master?
rú guǒ huàn chéng qián shì de ā xiū luó ， xīn ài zhī rén gǎn rú cǐ huā xīn hào sè ， kǒng pà yǐ jīng bá dāo xiāng xiàng le 。
如果换成前世的阿修罗，心爱之人敢如此花心好色，恐怕已经拔刀相向了。
If it had been the Arhats of his past life, he would have already drawn his sword. The King of Hell was known for his bold and resolute nature; she would rather let a faithless man die so that she could mourn him for all eternity.
néng gòu tǒng yù yīn sī ， ā xiū luó wáng de xìng gé zì rán guǒ gǎn hěn yì ． tā shì nà zhǒng qíng yuàn fù xīn rén shā le ， rán hòu zì jǐ zài yòng yì shēng yí shì ． lái shāng xīn huái niàn de nǚ zǐ zǒng zhī ． ā xiū luó wáng de yǎn lǐ róng bù dé shā zi 。
能够统御阴司，阿修罗王的性格自然果敢狠毅．她是那种情愿负心人杀了，然后自己再用一生一世．来伤心怀念的女子总之．阿修罗王的眼里容不得沙子。
In short, there was no room for sand in the eyes of the Queen of Hell.
dàn yuè ér bù tóng ． xiǎo yā tou de xìng gé wēn shùn ér róu ruò ． suī rán lín xuān huā xīn tā yě huì shāng xīn nán guài ． dàn yào tā duì shào yé bá dāo xiāng xiàng què shì yǒng yuǎn yě bù kě néng de …… shèn zhì lián zhòng huà dōu shě bù dé shuō 。
但月儿不同．小丫头的性格温顺而柔弱．虽然林轩花心她也会伤心难怪．但要她对少爷拔刀相向却是永远也不可能的……甚至连重话都舍不得说。
But Moon was different. She had a gentle and weak personality. While it hurt her to see Lin Xuan being unfaithful, she would never raise her voice at him or even say anything harsh.
zhè shì yí gè wēn róu shì shuǐ de nǚ zǐ ． qíng yuàn zì jǐ àn dì lǐ shāng xīn nán guò ． yě yǒng yuǎn huì duì lín xuān lù chū xiào yán de 。
这是一个温柔似水的女子．情愿自己暗地里伤心难过．也永远会对林轩露出笑颜的。
She was a woman with a heart of water, willing to suffer silently rather than show any displeasure towards Lin Xuan.
xìng hǎo xiǎo táo yǐ jīng shuì zháo ， bù rán kàn jiàn xiǎo jiě shāng xīn chī cù ． cái bú huì guǎn lín xuān shì bú shì yǐ jīng jìn jiē dào le lí hé ． kěn dìng huì zhuā kuáng wú bǐ de gēn nà huā xīn dà luó bo pīn le 。
幸好小桃已经睡着，不然看见小姐伤心吃醋．才不会管林轩是不是已经进阶到了离合．肯定会抓狂无比的跟那花心大萝卜拼了。
Fortunately, Xiao Tao was still fast asleep; otherwise, seeing the mistress upset and jealous might have caused her to lose it and go all out against that unfaithful carrot-top.
huā le sān bǎi nián cái jìn jiē lí hé ， jiǎn zhí bèn dé xiàng tóu “ zhū ”， zhǎng dé bǐ zhū hái nán guò ， néng dé xiǎo jiě qīn lài bù zhī dào shì jǐ shì xiū lái de xiān fú ， bù chéng huáng chéng kǒng de zhēn xī jǐ shì zuì dà bù duàn è jí ． jū rán hái gǎn xǐ huān bié de nǚ zǐ ， zhè yàng de fù xīn bó xìng zhī tú ． hái liú zài shì shàng gàn shén me ． jiù yīng gāi dǎ jìn shí bā céng dì yù ， rán hòu shàng dāo shān ． xià yóu guō 。
花了三百年才进阶离合，简直笨得像头“猪”，长得比猪还难过，能得小姐亲睐不知道是几世修来的仙福，不诚惶诚恐的珍惜己是罪大不断恶极．居然还敢喜欢别的女子，这样的负心薄幸之徒．还留在世上干什么．就应该打进十八层地狱，然后上刀山．下油锅。
It had taken him three hundred years to reach the Separation and Union stage—so slow he felt like a pig. His looks were worse than his intelligence, and yet he still managed to win the heart of the mistress. He was truly a sinner who should be thrown into hell, tortured on a blade mountain, and fried in oil.
hǎo zài zhè yī qiè zhǐ shì jiǎ shè ， xiǎo táo hái zài měi měi de chén shuì zháo 。
好在这一切只是假设，小桃还在美美的沉睡着。
Fortunately, this was just hypothetical; Xiao Tao was still sound asleep.
zhì yú děng tā xǐng lái yǐ hòu qíng kuàng huì rú hé ． xiàn zài què bù yòng duō xiǎng de 。
至于等她醒来以后情况会如何．现在却不用多想的。
As for what would happen when she woke up, Lin Xuan didn't need to think about it now.
yǔ nǚ hái zi xiāng bǐ ． nán rén zǒng shì jiào wéi cū xīn dà yì ， lín xuān bìng wèi zhù yì dào yuè ér xīn zhōng shī luò ． cǐ shí cǐ kè ． tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jī dòng zhī sè 。
与女孩子相比．男人总是较为粗心大意，林轩并未注意到月儿心中失落．此时此刻．他的脸上满是激动之色。
Men were always more careless than women. Lin Xuan did not notice Moon's disappointment as he felt elated at the thought of seeing Yuanyuan again.
jù lí wǔ sè líng shān zhī shèng xià shù shí lǐ yuǎn le lín xuān tǐ nèi fǎ lì lüè yī yùn zhuàn ， dùn guāng dùn shí biàn dé àn dàn 。
距离五色灵山之剩下数十里远了林轩体内法力略一运转，遁光顿时变得黯淡。
With less than ten miles left from the Five-Colored Spirit Mountain, Lin Xuan slightly suppressed his divine power, causing his flight to dim.
dāng rán bú shì wèi le yǐn cáng xíng jì ， zhǐ shì bù xiǎng tài guò zhǐ yáo ér yǐ 。
当然不是为了隐藏行迹，只是不想太过指摇而已。
This was not for hiding his tracks but rather to avoid drawing too much attention.
yī lái dī diào shì zì jǐ de yuán zé ， èr lái zhè lǐ shì wǔ sè xiān zi de qīng xiū zhī suǒ ． tài guò cái zhāo yáo duì zhǔ rén jiù xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù zūn zhòng le 。
一来低调是自己的原则，二来这里是五色仙子的清修之所．太过才招摇对主人就显得有些不尊重了。
One reason was that低调 was his principle; another was that this was the abode of the Five-Colored Fairy—a place where he did not want to be overly conspicuous and disrespectful.
sú huà shuō ， bù kàn sēng miàn kàn fó miàn ． wǔ sè kě shì yuàn yuàn de yì mǔ ． huàn jù huà shuō yě jiù shì zì jǐ de zhǎng bèi le ， lín xuān suī rán jìn jiē dào le lí hé ， dàn duì zhǎng bèi xiàng lái dōu shì fēi cháng zūn zhòng de 。
俗话说，不看僧面看佛面．五色可是媛媛的义母．换句话说也就是自己的长辈了，林轩虽然进阶到了离合，但对长辈向来都是非常尊重的。
As the saying goes, "When you can't see a monk's face, look at the Buddha's." The Five-Colored Fairy was Yuanyuan's aunt, in other words, his senior. Even though Lin Xuan had reached the Separation and Union stage, he always respected his elders.
suī rán shōu liǎn le qì xī ， dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu kè yì yǐn cáng xíng jì ， rú cǐ qiáng dà de cún zài jiàng lín ． wǔ sè líng shān nà biān qǐ huì méi yǒu fǎn yìng 。
虽然收敛了气息，但林轩也没有刻意隐藏行迹，如此强大的存在降临．五色灵山那边岂会没有反应。
Although he suppressed his aura, Lin Xuan did not deliberately hide his presence. Such a powerful existence arriving here would surely be noticed by the Five-Colored Spirit Mountain.
dà shān shēn chù ． mǒu huán jìng qǐng yōu de xiá gǔ ． yī gōng zhuāng měi fù zhèng zài dǎ zuò ， tū rán tā zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， liǎn shàng xiàn chū jīng yí bù dìng zhī sè 。
大山深处．某环境请幽的峡谷．一宫装美妇正在打坐，突然她睁开双眸，脸上现出惊疑不定之色。
In a deep valley within the mountain, an elegantly dressed woman was meditating. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and showed signs of surprise and uncertainty.
dàn hěn kuài ． cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng de biǎo qià jiù píng jìng xià lái le shì dǔ lí hé qī de lǎo guài wù lái dào zhè lǐ ， bù guò nà qì xī shí fēn shú xī ． bǎi nián qián céng yǒu guò yī cì xiāng yù ， shì lín xuān lín xiǎo zi 。
但很快．此女脸上的表恰就平静下来了是堵离合期的老怪物来到这里，不过那气息十分熟悉．百年前曾有过一次相遇，是林轩林小子。
But soon, her expression turned calm as she recognized the aura of an old monster at the Separation and Union stage from long ago—Lin Xuan himself.
“ cái qū qū bǎi nián ér yǐ ． méi xiǎng dào tā zhēn de jìn jiē dào le lí hé qī 。”
“才区区百年而已．没想到他真的进阶到了离合期。”
"Only a hundred years have passed, yet he has truly reached the Separation and Union stage."
wǔ sè yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xiàn mù ， yāo zú de shòu yuán bǐ rén lèi zhǎng dé duō ， dàn tiān dì jiān zì yǒu fǎ zé ， lǎo tiān yé shì gōng píng de 。
五色眼中闪过一丝羡慕，妖族的寿元比人类长得多，但天地间自有法则，老天爷是公平的。
A hint of envy flashed in the Five-Colored Fairy's eyes. Demon races lived much longer than humans, but there were rules in this world, and heaven was fair.
yǔ rén lèi xiāng bǐ ， yāo zú yě gèng nán nòng jí bù guò qū qū sān bǎi yú suì jiù jìn jiē lí hé ， jí shǐ zài rén lèi zhī zhōng ， zhè dù yě yǒu xiē jīng shì hài sú ． bù gǎn shuō qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， dàn cóng shàng gǔ shí qī kāi shǐ suàn qǐ ， zhè yàng de nì tiān rén wù ， yě shì yí gè shǒu zhǐ tou jiù shù dé guò lái de 。
与人类相比，妖族也更难弄级不过区区三百余岁就进阶离合，即使在人类之中，这度也有些惊世骇俗．不敢说前无古人，后无来者，但从上古时期开始算起，这样的逆天人物，也是一个手指头就数得过来的。
Compared to humans, demons found it even harder to advance, but Lin Xuan had managed to reach the Separation and Union stage in just over three hundred years—quite shocking for a human. He might not be the first or last such person, but from ancient times until now, there were only a handful of people who could match his extraordinary abilities.
chēng zhī wèi tiān cái yě bù wèi guò ． zhè yǐ bù jǐn jǐn shì líng gēn yōu bù yōu yì ， jī yuán cái shì zuì zhòng yào de ． zhè xiǎo zi de yùn qì jiǎn zhí hǎo dé lìng rén jí dù 。
称之为天才也不为过．这已不仅仅是灵根优不优异，机缘才是最重要的．这小子的运气简直好得令人嫉妒。
He was truly a genius. Not only did he have an excellent spirit root, but his luck was so good that it was enviable.
tīng shuō bǎi nián qián yíng zhōu dǎo yī yì ． tā mò míng xiāo shī le zōng jì ， bù zhī dào yǒu shén me qí yù nǎo hǎi zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ． wǔ sè xiān zi yǐ cóng pú tuán shàng zhàn qǐ lái le 。
听说百年前瀛洲岛一役．他莫名消失了踪迹，不知道有什么奇遇脑海中如此想着．五色仙子已从蒲团上站起来了。
Recalling how he had vanished mysteriously during the battle on Immortal Isle a hundred years ago, she stood up from her cushion.
qí shí shù rì yǐ qián ， tā jiù shōu dào le mèng rú yān de fēi jiàn chuán shū ， yāo qǐng tā zuò wèi guì bīn ， cān guān lín xuān yǔ yuè ér de rù zōng dà diǎn 。
其实数日以前，她就收到了梦如嫣的飞剑传书，邀请她做为贵宾，参观林轩与月儿的入宗大典。
In fact, several days earlier, she had received a flying sword message from Dream Like Beauty, inviting her as a guest to attend Lin Xuan and Moon's initiation ceremony into the sect.
dāng shí wǔ sè xīn zhōng bàn xìn bàn yí ． bìng méi yǒu qián qù 。
当时五色心中半信半疑．并没有前去。
At first, she was skeptical and did not go.
rú jīn shì shí bǎi zài yǎn qián ． wǔ sè yǎn zhōng shǎn guò shēn shēn de xiàn mù ， duì fāng jì jǐ jìn jiē lí hé ． nà yǔ zì jǐ jiù shì tóng děng jí de cún zài le 。
如今事实摆在眼前．五色眼中闪过深深的羡慕，对方既己进阶离合．那与自己就是同等级的存在了。
Now that reality was before her eyes, the Five-Colored Fairy felt deep envy. Since he had reached the Separation and Union stage, they were now peers in strength.
hé kuàng nà lín xiǎo zi suǒ xiū de shén tōng ， zhe shí nì tiān dào jí chù ， nà me jiù shí lì lái shuō ． tā shí yǒu ** hái bǐ zì jǐ shèng shàng yī chóu 。
何况那林小子所修的神通，着实逆天到极处，那么就实力来说．他十有**还比自己胜上一筹。
Moreover, the divine techniques he cultivated were so extraordinary that it was highly likely that his power exceeded hers.
xiū xiān jiè qiáng zhě wèi zūn ， shù rì yǒu yuàn yuàn zài zhè lǐ ． tā bù kě néng duì zì jǐ bù jìng ． dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ． zì jǐ dōu yīng gāi qīn zì chū yíng 。
修仙界强者为尊，数日有媛媛在这里．他不可能对自己不敬．但于情于理．自己都应该亲自出迎。
In a world where strength ruled, with Yuanyuan here, Lin Xuan would not show disrespect. But out of respect for her and himself, she should personally greet him.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， wǔ sè xiān zi dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ． fēi chū le dòng fǔ 。
脑海中念头转过，五色仙子滴溜溜一转，化为一道惊虹．飞出了洞府。
With this thought, the Five-Colored Fairy transformed into a streak of brilliant light and flew out of her abode.
ér zhè shí ， lín xuān jù lí líng shān ． yǐ zhǐ shèng xià shí yú lǐ yuǎn 。
而这时，林轩距离灵山．已只剩下十余里远。
By now, Lin Xuan was only ten miles away from the spirit mountain. Every plant and tree on the mountain were clearly visible to his enhanced senses after reaching the Separation and Union stage—both his divine sense and physical perception had greatly improved with each advancement.
shān shàng de yī cǎo yī mù ， dōu kàn dé qǐng qīng chǔ chǔ ， jìn jiē lí hé yǐ hòu 、 bù jǐn shén shí bào yú céng le xǔ duō ． yǎn lì tīng lì ． tóng yàng yuǎn fēi yǐ qián kě bǐ 。
山上的一草一木，都看得请清楚楚，进阶离合以后、不仅神识暴于曾了许多．眼力听力．同样远非以前可比。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's expression changed as he stopped abruptly in mid-air.
bì jìng měi cì jìn jí ， zēng zhǎng de bù jǐn shì fǎ lì ， duì yú ròu shēn ． tóng yàng tǎ yì qīng xǐ suǐ de xiào guǒ 。
毕竟每次晋级，增长的不仅是法力，对于肉身．同样塔易轻洗髓的效果。
From afar, a melody of celestial music drifted towards him.
tū rán ， lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ． dùn guāng yī liǎn ． fēng rán zài yuán dì tíng le xià lái 。
突然，林轩神色一动．遁光一敛．疯然在原地停了下来。
Following this, fragrant flowers rained down from the sky, turning it into a colorful flower shower.
cóng yuǎn chù de tiān kōng ， fēng rán piāo lái yī zhèn xiān lè 。
从远处的天空，疯然飘来一阵仙乐。
A group of beautiful maids appeared before his eyes, standing gracefully in two rows, each consisting of twelve girls around seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and holding lanterns.
suí hòu xiāng qì pū bí ， tiān kōng zhōng jìng piāo sàn kāi le wǔ yán liù sè de huā biàn yǔ 。
随后香气扑鼻，天空中竟飘散开了五颜六色的花辫雨。
They were not human women; their bodies emitted a faint demon aura.
yī duì měi mào de shì nǚ tíng tíng yù lì de chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
一队美貌的侍女亭亭玉立的出现在视线里。
Generally, demons only transformed from their animal forms to humans after reaching the fourth stage and entering the Shapeshifting Realm. However, there were exceptions.
fēn zuǒ yòu liǎng liè ， měi liè gòng shí èr rén ， yuē shí qī bā suì nián jì ， méi qīng mù xiù yǐ jí ， měi yí gè rén de shǒu lǐ ． dōu tí zhe yī zhǎn gōng dēng 。
分左右两列，每列共十二人，约十七八岁年纪，眉清目秀以极，每一个人的手里．都提着一盏宫灯。
Some weaker demon races could open their minds and transform into humans without reaching the fourth stage due to their limited cultivation potential.
dāng rán ， bìng bú shì rén lèi nǚ zǐ ， tā men de shēn shàng ． huò duō huò shǎo dōu sàn zhe xiē xǔ yāo qì 。
当然，并不是人类女子，她们的身上．或多或少都散着些许妖气。
These demons found it hard to survive in the world of cultivators and usually relied on powerful forces for protection.
yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， yāo zú zhǐ tǎ xiū liàn dào sì jí ， mài rù huà xíng qī ． cái néng tuì qù yāo shēn ， huà wéi rén xíng ， dàn fán shì jiē yǒu lì wài 。
一般情况下，妖族只塔修炼到四级，迈入化形期．才能退去妖身，化为人形，但凡事皆有例外。
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over these demon maids but did not linger. Beyond them, a colorful cloud appeared before his eyes.
The outer sea of Yunzhou was vast. However, with Lin Xuan's current cultivation and divine power, his swift flight was something that outsiders could hardly imagine.
A distance of a million miles took him no more than a day and night.
When the sun rose from the horizon, a majestic spirit mountain loomed in front of his eyes.
Revisiting an old place, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
Remembering the last time he came here, he met Elder Heavenly Lion along the way, encountering some twists and turns, but it only deepened their bond with Yuanyuan.
If two hearts are truly for each other, what does it matter if they can't be together every day?
Although the chaotic demon aura forced them to temporarily part ways, Lin Xuan believed that they would meet again.
Now that he had reached the Separation and Union stage, his goal of living together was closer. He was sure that Yuanyuan would be overjoyed upon seeing him.
The saying "near home makes one timid" came to mind as he thought about how close his beloved wife was. His heart raced with anticipation. This had nothing to do with cunning or scheming; it was simply a genuine emotion.
It seemed that Lin Xuan's feelings were sensed by the Moon in the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion, who sighed softly and admitted that she wasn't jealous at all—though how could she not be?
What could she do? Could she pout and fuss, or even leave her master?
If it had been the Arhats of his past life, he would have already drawn his sword. The King of Hell was known for his bold and resolute nature; she would rather let a faithless man die so that she could mourn him for all eternity.
In short, there was no room for sand in the eyes of the Queen of Hell.
But Moon was different. She had a gentle and weak personality. While it hurt her to see Lin Xuan being unfaithful, she would never raise her voice at him or even say anything harsh.
She was a woman with a heart of water, willing to suffer silently rather than show any displeasure towards Lin Xuan.
Fortunately, Xiao Tao was still fast asleep; otherwise, seeing the mistress upset and jealous might have caused her to lose it and go all out against that unfaithful carrot-top.
It had taken him three hundred years to reach the Separation and Union stage—so slow he felt like a pig. His looks were worse than his intelligence, and yet he still managed to win the heart of the mistress. He was truly a sinner who should be thrown into hell, tortured on a blade mountain, and fried in oil.

They were not human women; their bodies emitted a faint demon aura.
Generally, demons only transformed from their animal forms to humans after reaching the fourth stage and entering the Shapeshifting Realm. However, there were exceptions.
Some weaker demon races could open their minds and transform into humans without reaching the fourth stage due to their limited cultivation potential.
These demons found it hard to survive in the world of cultivators and usually relied on powerful forces for protection.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over these demon maids but did not linger. Beyond them, a colorful cloud appeared before his eyes.
