好一可爱讨喜的小美女，偏偏又显得英姿飒爽以极，此女是灵动期大圆满的修士，距离筑基，仅有一线之隔而已，在场之人中，她的修为可以排在第二位。
A cute and likable young beauty, yet she exudes an extraordinary aura of valor. This young lady is a practitioner at the Flexible Spirit Period, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. Among those present, her cultivation level ranks second.
“ wǒ qīng chǔ ， yàn ér ， chēng dài shī xiōng mèi gǎn kuài lí kāi cǐ chù 。”
“我清楚，雁儿，称带师兄妹赶快离开此处。”
"Xiaoyan, I understand. We should quickly leave this place."
“ nà shī shū nǐ ne ？”
“那师叔你呢？”
"But what about Uncle Senior?"
“ wǒ zì rán shì yào zài zhè lǐ dǎng zhù ， rú guǒ méi yǒu rén tuō zhù yāo qín de jiǎo bù ， nǐ men zěn me kě néng tuō shēn zǒu ne ？” zhōng nián nán zi kǔ xiào zhe shuō 。
“我自然是要在这里挡住，如果没有人拖住妖禽的脚步，你们怎么可能脱身走呢？”中年男子苦笑着说。
"I naturally need to hold them back here. If no one can stop the demonic bird's steps, how could you possibly escape?" said the middle-aged man with a bitter smile.
“ bù jǐng ， shī shū ， wǒ men zěn me kě néng jiāng nǐ diū zài zhè lǐ ， yào zǒu dà jiā yì qǐ zǒu ， yào sǐ yì qǐ sǐ 。” shàng guān yàn shàng wèi kāi kǒu ， lìng yī jīng huáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qīng cuì yǐ jí ， nǎi shì yī shí liù qī suì de nǚ zǐ ， zhǎng xiàng yǔ nà shàng guān yàn pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， bù guò yào gèng yuán rùn yī xiē ， liǎn dàn yǒu jǐ fēn yīng ér féi de yàng zi 。
“不井，师叔，我们怎么可能将你丢在这里，要走大家一起走，要死一起死。”上官雁尚未开口，另一惊惶的声音传入耳朵，清脆以极，乃是一十六七岁的女子，长相与那上官雁颇有几分相似，不过要更圆润一些，脸蛋有几分婴儿肥的样子。
"No, Uncle Senior! How could we abandon you? We'll all go or none of us will," came another panicked voice, clear and crisp, belonging to a girl around sixteen or seventeen. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Xiaoyan's but more rounded, with a babyish plumpness on her face.
“ líng ér ， shǎ hái zi ， chēng men liú zài zhè lǐ yú shì wú bǔ ， yǔ qí yì qǐ yǔn luò ， bù rú zǒu diào yí gè shì yí gè 。” zhōng nián nán zi kǔ xiào zhe shuō ：“ nǐ men jiě mèi hái yǒu zhè me duō shī zhí sǐ ， zài zhè lǐ ， shī shū huí qù ， yòu zěn me xiàng zhǎng mén jiāo dài ne 。”
“翎儿，傻孩子，称们留在这里于事无补，与其一起陨落，不如走掉一个是一个。”中年男子苦笑着说：“你们姐妹还有这么多师侄死，在这里，师叔回去，又怎么像掌门交代呢。”
"Lin'ere, silly child! It won't help if you stay here; it would be better for one of us to leave," said the middle-aged man with a bitter smile. "Your sister and so many disciples are still alive here. If I return, how can I explain this to the sect leader?"
shào nǚ hái xiǎng zhēng biàn ， shàng guān yàn de shēng yīn què jué rán de chuán lái ：“ líng ér nǐ bú yòng shuō le ， shī shū yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， wǒ men lí kāi zhè lǐ 。”
少女还想争辩，上官雁的声音却决然的传来：“翎儿你不用说了，师叔言之有理，我们离开这里。”
The young girl was about to argue when Xiaoyan's voice cut in decisively: "Lin'ere, you don't need to say anything. Uncle Senior has a point; we should leave."
“ jiě ……” shàng guān líng dà jí 。
“姐……”上官翎大急。
"Sis…" Lin'er was greatly distressed.
“ bù xíng ， wǒ men zěn me kě yǐ jiāng shī shū pāo qì ？” lìng wài yī míng miàn róng hān hòu de nán dì zǐ yě shì yī liǎn zhàng hóng de yàng zi 。
“不行，我们怎么可以将师叔抛弃？”另外一名面容憨厚的男弟子也是一脸涨红的样子。
"We can't just abandon Uncle Senior," said another honest-looking male disciple, his face flushed with anger. "If we go alone, even if we survive by luck, it will haunt us for life."
“ yào zǒu nǐ zì jǐ zǒu ， wǒ men jué bù méi yì qì 。”
“要走你自己走，我们绝不没义气。”
The commotion filled the air. Who would have thought that cultivators could be so selfless? At least this sect seemed to be an exception, where everyone was deeply connected.
“ jiù shì ， nà yàng jí shǐ jiǎo xìng cún huó ， yě huì zhōng shēn liáng xīn bù ān de 。”
“就是，那样即使侥幸存活，也会终身良心不安的。”
"..."
gǔ zào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shuí shuō xiū xiān zhě dōu zì sī zì lì ， zhì shǎo yǎn qián zhè ge mén pài sì hū jiù shì yí gè tè lì ， rén rén xiāng qīn xiāng ài yǐ jí 。
鼓噪的声音传入耳朵，谁说修仙者都自私自利，至少眼前这个门派似乎就是一个特例，人人相亲相爱以极。
Xiaoyan's pretty face turned pale. It wasn't because of the rude words; rather, her young brothers and sisters were too naive. If they kept arguing like this, it would only make them look bad.
“ nǐ men ，“”
“你们，“”
"How...?" The middle-aged man looked uncomfortable. While their sect might be close-knit, as cultivators, they knew that other practitioners wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of a situation if there was any benefit.
shàng guān yàn de qiào liǎn yī xià zi háo wú xuè sè ， dào bú shì wèi nà xiē wú lǐ de yán yǔ shēng qì ， ér shì shī dì shī mèi tài guò nián qīng bù dǒng shì ， zhè yàng xià qù ， dà jiā zhǐ yǒu yì qǐ sǐ zài zhè lǐ 。
上官雁的俏脸一下子毫无血色，倒不是为那些无礼的言语生气，而是师弟师妹太过年轻不懂事，这样下去，大家只有一起死在这里。
"What do you need to help us?"
zhōng nián rén yě lián shēng hē chì ” kě nà xiē xiǎo jiā huo shì chū shēng niú dú bù pà hǔ ， yí gè gè xuè hóng zhuó yǎn zhū ， bǎi míng liǎo bù kěn lí qù ， yào sǐ yì qǐ sǐ 。
中年人也连声呵斥”可那些小家伙是初生牛犊不怕虎，一个个血红着眼珠，摆明了不肯离去，要死一起死。
The male and female disciples all eagerly watched, hoping for a chance at survival. In times of crisis, even the faintest hope could make a difference. But where did their hope lie?
“ āi ， nǐ men zhè xiē shǎ hái zi ！”
“唉，你们这些傻孩子！”
"Ha ha, look at your faces; you're as poor as a church mouse," said the voice coldly. "Even if I bought everyone, the crystal shards wouldn't be enough to fill my teeth. But these two girls are quite attractive. If they agree to become my servants by signing a blood contract, it might be worth it for me."
zhōng nián rén tàn le kǒu qì ” dàn yě gǎn dòng yǐ jí ：“ hǎo ba ， nà wǒ men jiù shēng sǐ yì qǐ 。”
中年人叹了口气”但也感动以极：“好吧，那我们就生死一起。”
"What...?"
yāo qín de gōng jī gèng jiā měng è ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī tàn xī shēng què chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ bù cuò bù cuò ， hǎo yī qún yǒu qíng yǒu yì de xiǎo jiā huo ， zhè yàng de mén pài ， lín mǒu dào zhēn hái cóng méi yǒu jiàn guò 。”
妖禽的攻击更加猛恶，然而就在这时，一叹息声却传入耳朵：“不错不错，好一群有情有义的小家伙，这样的门派，林某倒真还从没有见过。”
Everyone was stunned. Xiaoyan's face turned even paler. Why sign a blood contract just to be a servant? The intent was clear; she would be forced into servitude or worse.
nà shēng yīn lái de tū rán yǐ jí ， ér qiě fǎng fú dài zhe mǒu zhǒng mó lì ” xiōng měng de yāo qín men jū rán yī xià zi jiù tíng zhǐ le gōng jī 。
那声音来得突然以极，而且仿佛带着某种魔力”凶猛的妖禽们居然一下子就停止了攻击。
But there was no choice now. A determined look flashed across Xiaoyan's face: "Uncle Senior, you spare my sister, and I will serve you faithfully for life."
nà qún xiū shì è rán bù yǐ ， ér zhōng nián xiū shì de fǎn yìng yě yào kuài yī xiē ， máng duì zhe xū kōng yáo yáo yī yī ：“ bù zhī dào nà wèi qián bèi jià lín cǐ chù ， hái qǐng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， wǒ bǎi cǎo mén bì yǒng gǎn dà dé ， wèi qián bèi lì cháng shēng pái wèi de 。”
那群修士愕然不已，而中年修士的反应也要快一些，忙对着虚空遥遥一揖：“不知道那位前辈驾临此处，还请出手相助，我百草门必永感大德，为前辈立长生牌位的。”
"Ha ha, what资格 can you have to negotiate with me? Whether to save anyone is just a matter of my whim," said the voice. "Not only you, but Lin'ere must also sign a blood contract with me."
“ lì cháng shēng pái wèi ， zhè dào bù bì ， wǒ děng xiū xiān zhě ” shòu yuán rú hé ， nǎi shì yǔ jìng jiè guà gōu de ， lì cháng shēng pái wèi yòu yǒu hé hǎo chù ， lǎo fū néng píng kōng zēng zhǎng bǎi nián de shòu yuán me ？” lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn chōng mǎn liǎo wú qíng yǔ lěng mò 。
“立长生牌位，这倒不必，我等修仙者”寿元如何，乃是与境界挂钩的，立长生牌位又有何好处，老夫能凭空增长百年的寿元么？”冷笑的声音传入耳朵，里面充满了无情与冷漠。
"This...," Xiaoyan's face showed hesitation as Lin'er stepped out from among them: "Alright, you spare my sister, and I agree."
“ zhè ……” nà zhōng nián nán zi liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le ， tā men bǎi cǎo mén suī xiāng qīn xiāng ài ， dàn shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě ” hái shì zhī dào qí tā xiū shì wú lì bù zǎo qǐ de xìng gé 。
“这……”那中年男子脸色有些难看了，他们百草门虽相亲相爱，但身为修仙者”还是知道其他修士无利不早起的性格。
"Lin'ere, you're too young to serve your parents. Uncle Senior, please, spare my sister; let this latecomer be your servant..."
“ nà qián bèi yào rú hé cái kěn xiāng zhù ne ？”
“那前辈要如何才肯相助呢？”
"No, sis...,"
qí tā nán nǚ dì zǐ ， yě dōu yǎn bā bā de wàng zhe ， néng bù sǐ ， shuí yòu yuàn yì yǔn luò ， zài wēi jī zhī shí ， hái bù róng yì chū xiàn le yī xiàn shēng jī ， tā men dāng rán xiǎng yào zhuā zhù ， kě xī wàng zài nǎ lǐ ne ？
其他男女弟子，也都眼巴巴的望着，能不死，谁又愿意陨落，在危机之时，还不容易出现了一线生机，他们当然想要抓住，可希望在哪里呢？
Watching the sisters part ways in death or life, Lin轩 rubbed his nose. This joke had gone a bit too far, making him seem like an evil tyrant.
“ hē hē ” kàn nǐ men zhè fù mú yàng ， yě shì qióng dé dīng dāng xiǎng ” biàn shì quán tǐ mǎi le ， suǒ de de jīng shí yě bù gòu lǎo fū sāi yá fèng ， bù guò zhè liǎng gè nǚ zǐ zhǎng dé dào bú cuò ， ruò shì yuàn yì yǔ wǒ qiān dìng zhǔ pú xuè qì ， gěi wǒ zuò shì nǚ ， lǎo fū chū shǒu yī cì ， yě wèi cháng bù kě 。” nà shēng yīn lěng lěng de shuō 。
“呵呵”看你们这副模样，也是穷得叮当响”便是全体买了，所得的晶石也不够老夫塞牙缝，不过这两个女子长得倒不错，若是愿意与我签订主仆血契，给我做侍女，老夫出手一次，也未尝不可。”那声音冷冷的说。
"Enough, enough. I was just joking to test your character. Don't worry about it," came the voice again, now sounding very amiable compared to before.
“ shén me ……”
“什么……”
"Uncle Senior, you were just joking? We don't need to be your servants?" Lin'er was both shocked and delighted.
suǒ yǒu rén mù dèng kǒu dāi ， shàng guān yàn de liǎn sè gèng shì cǎn bái ， ruò shì dān chún de zuò shì nǚ ， gàn má qiān dìng zhǔ pú xuè qì ， duì fāng de yòng yì míng xiǎn yǐ jí ， dào shí hòu wèi nú wèi bì ， shèn zhì zuò dǐng lú ， dōu yóu bù dé zì jǐ 。
所有人目瞪口呆，上官雁的脸色更是惨白，若是单纯的做侍女，干嘛签订主仆血契，对方的用意明显以极，到时候为奴为婢，甚至做鼎炉，都由不得自己。
"Of course not. I travel alone; what use do I have for two maids?" said Lin轩 with a dry laugh, thinking it would be better if Mo'er were here.
bù guò xiàn zài nǎ yǒu xuǎn zé ， shàng guān yàn de liǎn shàng hěn kuài shǎn guò yī sī jué rán zhī sè ：“ qián bèi ， nǐ fàng guò wǒ mèi mèi ， xiǎo nǚ zǐ yuàn zhōng shēn shì fèng ， jué bù fǎn huǐ 。”
不过现在哪有选择，上官雁的脸上很快闪过一丝决然之色：“前辈，你放过我妹妹，小女子愿终身侍奉，绝不反悔。”
"But we have nothing to offer you, Uncle Senior," the girl looked anxious.
“ hē hē ， chēng yǒu shén me zī gé yǔ wǒ jiǎng tiáo jiàn ， yào bù yào jiù zhè xiē rén dōu zài wǒ yí niàn zhī jiān ， bù zhǐ shì nǐ ， mí mèi mèi yě yào yǔ wǒ qiān dìng zhǔ pú xuè qì 。
“呵呵，称有什么资格与我讲条件，要不要救这些人都在我一念之间，不止是你，弥妹妹也要与我签订主仆血契。
"Why should you thank me? It's just a small favor," came a loud laughter. "Cultivators like yourselves are rare in this world; why can't I do something good?"
“ zhè …………” shàng guān yàn liǎn shàng mǎn shì chóu chú ， ér liǎn dàn yuán yuán de shàng guān líng yǐ yuè zhòng ér chū ：“ hǎo ， nǐ fàng guò wǒ jiě jiě ， wǒ dā yìng nǐ 。”
“这…………”上官雁脸上满是踌躇，而脸蛋圆圆的上官翎已越众而出：“好，你放过我姐姐，我答应你。”
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce wind arose from nowhere and wrapped all the demonic birds inside it. Blood mist filled the sky as Lin轩's strength was more than enough to handle such low-level creatures with ease.
“ líng ér ， chēng hái xiǎo ， yào shì fèng diē niáng ， qián bèi ， qiú qiú nǐ ， fàng guò wǒ mèi mèi ， jiù ràng wǎn bèi yī rén zuò nǐ shì nǚ …“”
“翎儿，称还小，要侍奉爹娘，前辈，求求你，放过我妹妹，就让晚辈一人做你侍女…“”
Thirty yards away, green light flashed, and a plain-looking young man appeared in mid-air—Lin轩 himself.
“ bù ， jiě ……，…”
“不，姐……，…”
The senior was so young, leaving everyone speechless.
kàn zhe jiě mèi liǎ yī fù shēng sǐ lí bié de yàng zi ， lín xuān rěn bú zhù mō le mō bí zi ， zhè ge wán xiào kāi dé yǒu diǎn tài guò ， nòng dé zì jǐ dào xiàng shì shén me è bà le 。
看着姐妹俩一副生死离别的样子，林轩忍不住摸了摸鼻子，这个玩笑开得有点太过，弄得自己倒像是什么恶霸了。
"Thank you for your assistance."
“ hǎo le hǎo le ， lǎo fū gāng cái zhǐ shì kāi wán xiào ， shì shì nǐ liǎ de xīn xìng ér yǐ ， bù yòng zài yì 。” nà shēng yīn yòu chuán rù ěr lǐ ， bù guò yǔ gāng cái de lěng mò xiāng bǐ què xiǎn de hé ǎi yǐ jí 。
“好了好了，老夫刚才只是开玩笑，试试你俩的心性而已，不用在意。”那声音又传入耳里，不过与刚才的冷漠相比却显得和蔼以极。
The middle-aged man bowed deeply, his face full of shock. There was no spiritual pressure emanating from him, yet the depth of his cultivation was unclear. Recalling that powerful strike just now, could this overly youthful senior be at the Condensation Core stage... or even the Immortal Core stage?
“ qián bèi ， nǐ shuō kāi wán xiào de ， bù yòng wǒ men liǎ zuò shì nǚ ？” shàng guān líng yòu jīng yòu xǐ 。
“前辈，你说开玩笑的，不用我们俩做侍女？”上官翎又惊又喜。
"Thank you, Uncle Senior."
“ zì rán bù yòng ， lín mǒu dú lái dú wǎng ， dài liǎng gè yā tou zài shēn biān yǒu shén me hǎo chù ， dāng léi zhuì me ？” lín xuān gān xiào zhe ， xīn xiǎng yuè ér hái chà bu duō 。
“自然不用，林某独来独往，带两个丫头在身边有什么好处，当累赘么？”林轩干笑着，心想月儿还差不多。
The Xiaoyan sisters curtsied gracefully; they had been genuinely frightened earlier.
“ kě wǒ men méi yǒu shén me dōng xī néng gòu xiè nǐ ， qián bèi kàn bù shàng yǎn de 。” cǐ nǚ yòu xiǎn de mǎn liǎn tǎn tè 。
“可我们没有什么东西能够谢你，前辈看不上眼的。”此女又显得满脸忐忑。
Other young men and women also bowed, their eyes filled with curiosity. This senior seemed no older than them.
“ hé bì yào xiè ， jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。” dà xiào shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ：“ nǐ men zhè yàng de xiū shì ， zài cǐ jiè nán néng kě guì yǐ jí ， nán dào lín mǒu jiù bù néng zuò zuò hǎo shì 。”
“何必要谢，举手之劳而已。”大笑声传入耳里：“你们这样的修士，在此界难能可贵以极，难道林某就不能做做好事。”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man cleared his throat. Many high-ranking cultivators had peculiar temperaments. Even though he just helped them, if these disciples continued to offend him, he might end up eliminating them all.
huà yīn wèi luò ， kuáng fēng zhòu qǐ ， yě bù zhī dào cóng nǎ lǐ guā lái dì ， yī juàn ， jiù jiāng suǒ yǒu de yāo qín bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn ， suí hòu xuè wù màn tiān ， yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， duì fāng xiē xǔ yī jiē yāo qín jiǎn zhí shì tài làng fèi le xiē ， jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， wēi jī jiù yǐ rán jiě chú 。
话音未落，狂风骤起，也不知道从哪里刮来地，一卷，就将所有的妖禽包裹在里面，随后血雾漫天，以林轩的实力，对方些许一阶妖禽简直是太浪费了些，举手投足，危机就已然解除。
"You are from the Hundred Grass Sect; where is this sea?" Lin轩's cold voice rang out. In the past month, he had been traveling on his spirit boat without rest and no map, so he didn't know where he was.
suí hòu jù lí tā men sān shí yú zhàng zhī yuǎn ， qīng máng yī shǎn ， yī róng mào pǔ tōng de shào nián jiù zài xū kōng zhōng shǎn xiàn ， zhèng shì lín xuān 。
随后距离他们三十余丈之远，青芒一闪，一容貌普通的少年就在虚空中闪现，正是林轩。
"Did you just arrive for a wander? It's understandable that you don't know," said the middle-aged man cautiously. "This vast sea is remote, known to few."
nà qián bèi jū rán nián qīng dào rú cǐ dì bù ， zhòng xiū shì yǒu xiē chēng mù jié shé 。
那前辈居然年轻到如此地步，众修士有些瞠目结舌。
"The Vast Sea?"
“ duō xiè bìng bèi chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。”
“多谢并辈出手相助。”
Lin轩 was surprised; he had been in the Spirit Realm for four hundred years and knew the Eastern Sea well, but this 'Vast Sea' was new to him.
zhōng nián nán zi bào quán xíng lǐ ， shēn shēn yī yī ， liǎn shàng què quán shì zhèn jīng zhī yì ， duì fāng shēn shàng méi yǒu sī háo líng yā sàn fà ér chū ， kě jìng jiè rú hé tā wán quán kàn bù qīng chǔ ， zài lián xiǎng gāng cái nà yī jī chū shǒu ， nán dào zhè wèi nián qīng dé yǒu xiē guò fèn de qián bèi jū rán shì níng dān …… bù ， yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě 。
中年男子抱拳行礼，深深一揖，脸上却全是震惊之意，对方身上没有丝毫灵压散发而出，可境界如何他完全看不清楚，再联想刚才那一击出手，难道这位年轻得有些过分的前辈居然是凝丹……不，元婴期修仙者。
"The Vast Sea borders the human realm's outer territories and is adjacent to the Shark King," said the middle-aged man.
“ duō xiè qián bèi 。”
“多谢前辈。”
"Shark King?" Lin轩 was taken aback. Among the six sea kings, he wasn't the strongest, but he was certainly the most combative and known for his brutality.
shàng guān jiě mèi yě yíng yíng yī fú ， gāng cái hái zhēn shì bèi xià le yī dà tiào de ， liǎng nǚ de qì zhì suī jié rán bù tóng ， dàn dōu lìng rén rú mù chūn fēng 。
上官姐妹也盈盈一福，刚才还真是被吓了一大跳的，两女的气质虽截然不同，但都令人如沐春风。
"So your lives must be tough," muttered Lin轩.
qí tā de shào nián shào nǚ yě fēn fēn xíng lǐ ， mù guāng shí fēn hào qí ， zhè wèi qián bèi kàn shàng qù ， zěn me bǐ zì jǐ ， yě dà bù liǎo jǐ fēn de yàng zi 。
其他的少年少女也纷纷行礼，目光十分好奇，这位前辈看上去，怎么比自己，也大不了几分的样子。
"But what can we do? The Vast Sea is vast in area but resource-poor compared to other seas. Most cultivators here are small sects or lone practitioners. Good areas have already been claimed by high-ranking cultivators, so we just try to make a living," sighed the middle-aged man, his tone melancholic: "The hardships of low-rank cultivators, I doubt you can understand."
nà zhōng nián nán zi jiàn le ， máng yī shēng qīng ké ， hěn duō gāo jiē xiū shì dōu yǒu yī fù gǔ guài pí qì ， bié kàn tā gāng gāng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， ruò shì zhòng dì zǐ wú lǐ de mù guāng jiāng qí rě nǎo le ， chū shǒu jiāng zì jǐ zhè xiē rén miè chú yě bú shì bù kě néng de 。
那中年男子见了，忙一声轻咳，很多高阶修士都有一副古怪脾气，别看他刚刚出手相助，若是众弟子无礼的目光将其惹恼了，出手将自己这些人灭除也不是不可能的。
"Why not? I'm also a lone practitioner, starting from the lowest ranks and working my way up. I've experienced all this."
“ nǐ men shì bǎi cǎo mén dì zǐ ， zhè lǐ shì nǎ fāng hǎi yù ？” lín xuān lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， zhè yí gè yuè lái ， tā chéng zhe líng zhōu qī wàn bā guǎi ， sī háo méi yǒu tíng xiē ， shǒu zhōng yòu méi yǒu hǎi tú ， gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào zì jǐ pǎo dào le hé chù 。
“你们是百草门弟子，这里是哪方海域？”林轩冷冷的声音传入耳里，这一个月来，他乘着灵舟七万八拐，丝毫没有停歇，手中又没有海图，根本就不知道自己跑到了何处。
"Uncle Senior is also a lone practitioner?" Before the middle-aged man could speak, the round-faced girl with babyish features happily exclaimed: "Could it be that Uncle Senior plans to settle here in the Vast Sea? To be honest, compared to other seas, although this place is more desolate, there are several materials unique to it. If you want to stay long-term, we're a good choice; our sect's spirit veins might not be of the highest quality, but they are vast enough..."
“ qián bèi mò fēi shì wài chū yún yóu ， gāng lái dào cǐ chù ？” zhōng nián nán zi xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu ：“ yě nán guài qián bèi bù xiǎo de ， wǒ men zhè dà huāng hǎi yù dì chǔ piān pì ， zhī dào de rén liáo liáo wú jǐ 。
“前辈莫非是外出云游，刚来到此处？”中年男子小心翼翼的开口：“也难怪前辈不晓得，我们这大荒海域地处偏僻，知道的人寥寥无几。
The girl chattered on, her personality very easy-going. The middle-aged man tried to stop her, but it was too late. His face showed a mix of helplessness.
“ dà huāng hǎi yù ？”
“大荒海域？”
Lin'ere, that girl, had no idea about the dangers in the world; she thought anyone who helped them must be good. Cultivators compete with heaven, earth, and other cultivators; many old monsters act as they please, smiling one moment and turning cold the next.
lín xuān yī è ， tā lái dào líng jiè yǐ yǒu sì bǎi nián zhī jiǔ le ， duì yú dōng hǎi yǐ fēi cháng shú ， kě zhè shén me dà huāng hǎi yù hái zhēn méi yǒu tīng shuō guò 。
林轩一愕，他来到灵界已有四百年之久了，对于东海已非常熟，可这什么大荒海域还真没有听说过。
Her actions were like inviting wolves into a den, but words once spoken couldn't be taken back now. Refusing would only anger the old monster.
“ dà huāng hǎi yù wèi yú rén zú shì lì de biān jì ， yǔ kuáng shā wáng jiē rǎng 。”
“大荒海域位于人族势力的边际，与狂鲨王接壤。”
The middle-aged man inwardly groaned. But what could he do at this point? Whether fortune or misfortune, he had to accept his fate.
“ kuáng shā wáng ？”
“狂鲨王？”
Lin轩 saw every change in their faces clearly; how could he not know what they were thinking? A trace of mockery appeared on his face: "Is something troubling you, friend? No need to worry."
A cute and likable young beauty, yet she exudes an extraordinary aura of valor. This young lady is a practitioner at the Flexible Spirit Period, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. Among those present, her cultivation level ranks second.
"Xiaoyan, I understand. We should quickly leave this place."
"But what about Uncle Senior?"
"I naturally need to hold them back here. If no one can stop the demonic bird's steps, how could you possibly escape?" said the middle-aged man with a bitter smile.
"No, Uncle Senior! How could we abandon you? We'll all go or none of us will," came another panicked voice, clear and crisp, belonging to a girl around sixteen or seventeen. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Xiaoyan's but more rounded, with a babyish plumpness on her face.
"Lin'ere, silly child! It won't help if you stay here; it would be better for one of us to leave," said the middle-aged man with a bitter smile. "Your sister and so many disciples are still alive here. If I return, how can I explain this to the sect leader?"
"..."
The young girl was about to argue when Xiaoyan's voice cut in decisively: "Lin'ere, you don't need to say anything. Uncle Senior has a point; we should leave."
"Sis…" Lin'er was greatly distressed.
"We can't just abandon Uncle Senior," said another honest-looking male disciple, his face flushed with anger. "If we go alone, even if we survive by luck, it will haunt us for life."
The commotion filled the air. Who would have thought that cultivators could be so selfless? At least this sect seemed to be an exception, where everyone was deeply connected.
"..."
Xiaoyan's pretty face turned pale. It wasn't because of the rude words; rather, her young brothers and sisters were too naive. If they kept arguing like this, it would only make them look bad.
"How...?" The middle-aged man looked uncomfortable. While their sect might be close-knit, as cultivators, they knew that other practitioners wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of a situation if there was any benefit.
"What do you need to help us?"
The male and female disciples all eagerly watched, hoping for a chance at survival. In times of crisis, even the faintest hope could make a difference. But where did their hope lie?
"Ha ha, look at your faces; you're as poor as a church mouse," said the voice coldly. "Even if I bought everyone, the crystal shards wouldn't be enough to fill my teeth. But these two girls are quite attractive. If they agree to become my servants by signing a blood contract, it might be worth it for me."
"What...?"
Everyone was stunned. Xiaoyan's face turned even paler. Why sign a blood contract just to be a servant? The intent was clear; she would be forced into servitude or worse.
But there was no choice now. A determined look flashed across Xiaoyan's face: "Uncle Senior, you spare my sister, and I will serve you faithfully for life."
"Ha ha, what资格 can you have to negotiate with me? Whether to save anyone is just a matter of my whim," said the voice. "Not only you, but Lin'ere must also sign a blood contract with me."
"This...," Xiaoyan's face showed hesitation as Lin'er stepped out from among them: "Alright, you spare my sister, and I agree."
"Lin'ere, you're too young to serve your parents. Uncle Senior, please, spare my sister; let this latecomer be your servant..."
"No, sis...,"
Watching the sisters part ways in death or life, Lin轩 rubbed his nose. This joke had gone a bit too far, making him seem like an evil tyrant.
"Enough, enough. I was just joking to test your character. Don't worry about it," came the voice again, now sounding very amiable compared to before.
"Uncle Senior, you were just joking? We don't need to be your servants?" Lin'er was both shocked and delighted.
"Of course not. I travel alone; what use do I have for two maids?" said Lin轩 with a dry laugh, thinking it would be better if Mo'er were here.
"But we have nothing to offer you, Uncle Senior," the girl looked anxious.
"Why should you thank me? It's just a small favor," came a loud laughter. "Cultivators like yourselves are rare in this world; why can't I do something good?"
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce wind arose from nowhere and wrapped all the demonic birds inside it. Blood mist filled the sky as Lin轩's strength was more than enough to handle such low-level creatures with ease.
Thirty yards away, green light flashed, and a plain-looking young man appeared in mid-air—Lin轩 himself.
The senior was so young, leaving everyone speechless.
"Thank you for your assistance."
The middle-aged man bowed deeply, his face full of shock. There was no spiritual pressure emanating from him, yet the depth of his cultivation was unclear. Recalling that powerful strike just now, could this overly youthful senior be at the Condensation Core stage... or even the Immortal Core stage?
"Thank you, Uncle Senior."
The Xiaoyan sisters curtsied gracefully; they had been genuinely frightened earlier.
Other young men and women also bowed, their eyes filled with curiosity. This senior seemed no older than them.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man cleared his throat. Many high-ranking cultivators had peculiar temperaments. Even though he just helped them, if these disciples continued to offend him, he might end up eliminating them all.
"You are from the Hundred Grass Sect; where is this sea?" Lin轩's cold voice rang out. In the past month, he had been traveling on his spirit boat without rest and no map, so he didn't know where he was.
"Did you just arrive for a wander? It's understandable that you don't know," said the middle-aged man cautiously. "This vast sea is remote, known to few."
"The Vast Sea?"
Lin轩 was surprised; he had been in the Spirit Realm for four hundred years and knew the Eastern Sea well, but this 'Vast Sea' was new to him.
"The Vast Sea borders the human realm's outer territories and is adjacent to the Shark King," said the middle-aged man.
"Shark King?" Lin轩 was taken aback. Among the six sea kings, he wasn't the strongest, but he was certainly the most combative and known for his brutality.
"So your lives must be tough," muttered Lin轩.
"But what can we do? The Vast Sea is vast in area but resource-poor compared to other seas. Most cultivators here are small sects or lone practitioners. Good areas have already been claimed by high-ranking cultivators, so we just try to make a living," sighed the middle-aged man, his tone melancholic: "The hardships of low-rank cultivators, I doubt you can understand."
"Why not? I'm also a lone practitioner, starting from the lowest ranks and working my way up. I've experienced all this."
"Uncle Senior is also a lone practitioner?" Before the middle-aged man could speak, the round-faced girl with babyish features happily exclaimed: "Could it be that Uncle Senior plans to settle here in the Vast Sea? To be honest, compared to other seas, although this place is more desolate, there are several materials unique to it. If you want to stay long-term, we're a good choice; our sect's spirit veins might not be of the highest quality, but they are vast enough..."
The girl chattered on, her personality very easy-going. The middle-aged man tried to stop her, but it was too late. His face showed a mix of helplessness.
Lin'ere, that girl, had no idea about the dangers in the world; she thought anyone who helped them must be good. Cultivators compete with heaven, earth, and other cultivators; many old monsters act as they please, smiling one moment and turning cold the next.
Her actions were like inviting wolves into a den, but words once spoken couldn't be taken back now. Refusing would only anger the old monster.
The middle-aged man inwardly groaned. But what could he do at this point? Whether fortune or misfortune, he had to accept his fate.
Lin轩 saw every change in their faces clearly; how could he not know what they were thinking? A trace of mockery appeared on his face: "Is something troubling you, friend? No need to worry."
