yǎn qián wǔ sè guāng huá shǎn guò ， yǐ rú chūn fēng fú liǔ bān de jī dǎ zài jiǔ tiān líng dùn zhī shàng ， lín xuān suī méi yǒu jì chū bǎo wù ， dàn cǐ mì shù de fáng yù lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān shùn shì xiàng hòu tuì chū 。
眼前五色光华闪过，已如春风拂柳般的击打在九天灵盾之上，林轩虽没有祭出宝物，但此秘术的防御力也是非同小可，林轩顺势像后退出。
Before his eyes, a flash of five-colored light hit the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield. Although Lin Xuan did not summon any treasures, this secret technique's defensive power was formidable. He moved back gracefully.
suí hòu tā cái yǒu xián xiá tái qǐ tóu ， yī nián qīng nǚ zǐ de róng yán jìn rù dào shì xiàn zhōng 。
随后他才有闲暇抬起头，一年轻女子的容颜进入到视线中。
Then he finally had time to look up and saw a young woman’s face in his line of sight.
cóng biǎo miàn kàn ， cǐ nǚ bù guò èr shí chū tóu ， xiù fà wū hēi yóu liàng ， zhǎng kě jí yāo ， shēn chuān yī shēn qiǎn lǜ sè de qún zhuāng ， qū xiàn líng lóng ， shēn cái jiāo hǎo ， pèi shàng měi lì de miàn róng ， shuō shì jué dài jiā rén ， nà shì fēn háo yě bù dài kuā zhāng 。
从表面看，此女不过二十出头，秀发乌黑油亮，长可及腰，身穿一身浅绿色的裙装，曲线玲珑，身材姣好，配上美丽的面容，说是绝代佳人，那是分毫也不带夸张。
From the appearance alone, she looked no more than twenty years old, with black hair as glossy as silk that reached her waist. She wore a light green dress, her figure curvy and well-proportioned, complementing her beautiful features. Describing her as a peerless beauty was not an exaggeration at all.
ér cǐ nǚ suī rán nián qīng ， yī shēn yāo lì què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jī hū dá dào le ràng rén chù mù jīng xīn de dì bù ， dāng rán ， nà shì yǐ rén jiè de biāo zhǔn lái héng liáng de 。
而此女虽然年轻，一身妖力却非同小可，几乎达到了让人触目惊心的地步，当然，那是以人界的标准来衡量的。
However, despite being young, this woman’sdemonic powerwas extraordinary, reaching a level that could shock anyone, according to the standards of the mortal world.
bù guò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， ràng lín xuān jīng yà de bú shì zhè ge ， dāng kàn qīng chǔ le yǎn qián nǚ zǐ róng yán de yī kè ， tā de liǎn shàng chú le huān xǐ hái shì huān xǐ le 。
不过，此时此刻，让林轩惊讶的不是这个，当看清楚了眼前女子容颜的一刻，他的脸上除了欢喜还是欢喜了。
But what surprised Lin Xuan at this moment was not this revelation. When he finally saw her face clearly, his joy knew no bounds.
tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ ， bù zhèng shì zì jǐ zhāo sī mù xiǎng de yú yú me ？
踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，眼前的女子，不正是自己朝思暮想的娱娱么？
After much searching, she had been found without effort. The woman before him—wasn’t she the one he had longed for, Yu Yu?
shù bǎi nián wèi jiàn ， kǒng què de róng yán què bù céng biàn huà yì diǎn ， wéi yī yǔ yìn xiàng zhōng bù tóng de shì ， ài qī de liǎn sè shí fēn cāng bái ， zhěng gè rén dài zhe yī zhǒng jiāo ruò de bìng tài 。
数百年未见，孔雀的容颜却不曾变化一点，唯一与印象中不同的是，爱妻的脸色十分苍白，整个人带着一种娇弱的病态。
Centuries apart, but her appearance remained unchanged. The only difference from his memory was that her complexion was unusually pale, giving off a delicate and sickly look.
piān piān méi xīn zhèng zhōng ， què yǒu yī tuán hēi qì ， yǎn jīng zhī zhōng ， yòu yǒu jīn máng liàng qǐ ， yú měi lì zhī zhōng ， píng tiān le jǐ fēn shén mì yǔ guǐ yì 。
偏偏眉心正中，却有一团黑气，眼睛之中，又有金芒亮起，于美丽之中，平添了几分神秘与诡异。
Yet, right in the center of her forehead, there was a black aura, and golden light flickered in her eyes, adding an air of mystery and eeriness to her beauty.
bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu xiǎng nà me duō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de xiōng huái ， jǐ bèi jù dà de huān xǐ ， gěi hěn hěn de tián mǎn le ， zhè jǐ bǎi nián lái gū shēn piāo bó ， lián yuè ér dōu bù zài shēn cè ， shuō bù xiǎng qī zǐ nà jué duì shì piàn rén de 。
不过林轩并没有想那么多，此时此刻，他的胸怀，己被巨大的欢喜，给狠狠的填满了，这几百年来孤身漂泊，连月儿都不在身侧，说不想妻子那绝对是骗人的。
Lin Xuan did not dwell on these thoughts. His heart was filled with immense joy at this moment. For centuries, he had been alone, even without Mo Er by his side. To say that he didn’t think about his wife would be a lie.
yīng xióng qì duǎn ， ér nǚ qíng cháng ， lín xuān cǐ kè ， bù zài shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhǐ bù guò shì yī míng yǔ qī zǐ jiǔ bié chóng féng de zhàng fū 。
英雄气短，儿女情长，林轩此刻，不再是洞玄期修仙者，只不过是一名与妻子久别重逢的丈夫。
Heroic spirit fades, but the emotions of a husband and wife endure. Lin Xuan was no longer an Enlightenment Stage cultivator; he was simply a husband reunited with his beloved after a long separation.
sú huà shuō ， xiǎo bié shèng xīn hūn ， nà yī bié jǐ bǎi nián yòu rú hé ？
俗话说，小别胜新婚，那一别几百年又如何？
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. How could it matter if they had been apart for centuries?
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ jīng zài qī dài le ， qī dài qī zǐ lù chū wēn róu kuǎn kuǎn zhī sè 。
林轩心中已经在期待了，期待妻子露出温柔款款之色。
Lin Xuan’s mind was already filled with anticipation, waiting for his wife to show her gentle side.
zài zì jǐ de yìn xiàng lǐ ， kǒng què de xìng gé hǎo qiáng yǐ jí ， shuō yīng zī sà jiā yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò ， zhè yì diǎn ， yǔ yì bān de nǚ xiū shì dà bù xiāng tóng de 。
在自己的印象里，孔雀的性格好强以极，说英姿飒夹一点也不为过，这一点，与一般的女修是大不相同的。
In his memory, Yu Yu’s character was incredibly strong-willed and fierce, almost brimming with a heroic demeanor that few female cultivators possessed. But the more such a woman showed gentleness, the more captivating she became.
rán ér yuè shì zhè yàng de nǚ zǐ ， dāng tā lù chū wēn róu de yī kè ， què yuè shì dòng rén de 。
然而越是这样的女子，当她露出温柔的一刻，却越是动人的。
Among all his wives, Mo Er was his favorite without question, having shared countless life-and-death moments together. For her sake, he would offend all gods and even risk enmity from the Three Realms.
jǐ wèi qī zǐ zhī zhōng ” lín xuān de zuì ài fēi yuè ér diàn shǔ ” zhè yì diǎn shì bù yòng huì yán de ， bì jìng jǐ bǎi nián xiāng rú yǐ mò ， shuǐ lǐ huǒ lǐ ， hù xiāng fú chí ， liǎng rén yì qǐ ， bù zhī dào jīng lì guò duō shǎo shēng sǐ yī xiàn de shí kè ， nà zhǒng gǎn qíng ， yǐ shì bù fēn nǐ wǒ ， wèi le yuè ér ， lín xuān nìng yuàn dé zuì mǎn tiān shén fó ， jiù suàn yǔ sān jiè wèi dí yě wú yuàn wú huǐ de 。
几位妻子之中”林轩的最爱非月儿奠属”这一点是不用讳言的，毕竟几百年相濡以沫，水里火里，互相扶持，两人一起，不知道经历过多少生死一线的时刻，那种感情，已是不分你我，为了月儿，林轩宁愿得罪满天神佛，就算与三界为敌也无怨无悔的。
Their time with Yu Yu had been much shorter, marked by frequent separations and a tumultuous history that transformed them from mortal enemies to a blossoming couple.
yǔ kǒng què zài yì qǐ de shí jiān jiù shǎo le hěn duō ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì jù shǎo lí duō ， liǎng rén de gǎn qíng jīng lì ， gèng shì qū zhé yǐ jí ， nǎi shì yóu shēng sǐ chóu dí ， biàn chéng le rú huā juàn lǚ 。
与孔雀在一起的时间就少了很多，正确的说，是聚少离多，两人的感情经历，更是曲折以极，乃是由生死仇敌，变成了如花眷侣。
The love for Mo Er was like fine wine, becoming richer and more delightful over time. But his feelings for Yu Yu were akin to the fiery spirit of the nomads, intensely potent yet initially harsh on the palate before leaving an indelible aftertaste.
yǔ yuè ér de ài ” jiù fǎng fú pú táo měi jiǔ ， suí zhe shí jiān de chén diàn ， yuè fā de nóng yù ， chún měi wú bǐ ， tóng yú yú de gǎn qíng ， què fǎng fú nà xiē cǎo yuán hàn zi ， suǒ xǐ huān hē de shāo dāo zi ， wèi jí nóng liè ” rù kǒu rú shāo hóng zhī dāo rèn ， kāi shǐ yǒu xiē xīn là nán shòu ” rán ér què huí wèi wú qióng 。
与月儿的爱”就仿佛葡萄美酒，随着时间的沉淀，越发的浓郁，醇美无比，同娱娱的感情，却仿佛那些草原汉子，所喜欢喝的烧刀子，味极浓烈”入口如烧红之刀刃，开始有些辛辣难受”然而却回味无穷。
After centuries alone, seeing Yu Yu suddenly brought immense joy. Lin Xuan’s usually calm demeanor was momentarily thrown off balance; he did not notice the black aura in her brows but did not dwell on it either.
zhè jǐ bǎi nián ， lín xuān xíng dān yǐng zhī ， cǐ shí zhà jiàn kǒng què xiān zi ， xīn zhōng de gāo xìng nà shì kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
这几百年，林轩形单影只，此时乍见孔雀仙子，心中的高兴那是可想而知。
His heart was brimming with surprise and sweetness at this moment. However, what followed next left him utterly shocked.
yǐ zhì yú yí xiàng lěng jìng de tā ， dōu yǒu xiē shī tài ， méi yǒu suī rán liú yì dào kǒng què méi yǔ jiān de hēi qì ， què bìng méi yǒu fàng zài xīn lǐ 。
以至于一向冷静的他，都有些失态，没有虽然留意到孔雀眉宇间的黑气，却并没有放在心里。
Instead of rushing into his embrace or showing similar excitement, Yu Yu’s face was filled with murderous intent. Seeing that the five-colored spiritual light had no effect, she flicked her hand, sending a peculiar-looking treasure from her sleeve flying towards him.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān de xīn lǐ ， chōng sè mǎn le jīng xǐ yǔ tián mì 。
此时此刻，林轩的心里，充塞满了惊喜与甜蜜。
It was an inch-long jade shuttle, its surface covered inruneand purple-red electric arcs. Its power was evident; it made a crackling sound as it clashed with the air and flew straight at Lin Xuan.
rán ér jiē xià lái suǒ fā shēng de yí mù ， què ràng lín xuān dà jīng shī sè 。
然而接下来所发生的一幕，却让林轩大惊失色。
"Yu Yu, what are you doing? It’s me!"
ài qī bìng méi yǒu rú yù xiǎng yì bān de tóu rù zì jǐ de huái lǐ ， huò zhě zhì shǎo yīng gāi rú zì jǐ yī yàng jīng xǐ jiāo jí ， tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì shā qì ， yǎn jiàn wǔ sè líng guāng méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， yù shǒu yī fú ， cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi chū le yī xíng zhuàng qí tè de bǎo wù 。
爱妻并没有如预想一般的投入自己的怀里，或者至少应该如自己一样惊喜交集，她的脸上满是杀气，眼见五色灵光没有效果，玉手一拂，从衣袖中飞出了一形状奇特的宝物。
The outcome left Lin Xuan speechless. He could not help but feel both amused and frustrated that there would be no romantic embrace or lingering moments of passion; instead, his wife was drawing a sword against him, her eyes full of murderous intent as if she wanted to tear him apart.
shì yī zhǎng bù guò chǐ xǔ de yù suō ， biǎo miàn fú wén pēn bó ， hái yǒu zǐ hóng sè de diàn hú chán rào zhe ， yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǔ kōng qì mó cā jìng yǒu pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe lín xuān dǎ guò lái le 。
是一长不过尺许的玉梭，表面符文喷薄，还有紫红色的电弧缠绕着，一看就非同小可，与空气摩擦竟有噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，狠狠的向着林轩打过来了。
Lin Xuan felt deeply disappointed at this sudden turn of events.
“ yú yú ， mí zuò shén me ， shì wǒ ！。”
“娱娱，弥做什么，是我！。”
Just when he was most emotionally invested, it seemed like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. What could be happening? Was the heavens playing tricks on him?
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zhe shí ràng lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng nà shì kū xiào bù dé ， méi yǒu làng màn de yōng bào ， chán mián shén me ， bù guò shì zì jǐ de xiǎng xiàng bà le ， kǒng què jiàn le zì jǐ ， jū rán shì bá jiàn xiāng xiàng ， kàn nà màn tiān de shā qì ， fǎng fú hèn bù dé jiāng zì jǐ chōu jīn lù pí 。
这样的结果，着实让林轩大惊失色，脸上的表情那是哭笑不得，没有浪漫的拥抱，缠绵什么，不过是自己的想象罢了，孔雀见了自己，居然是拔剑相向，看那漫天的杀气，仿佛恨不得将自己抽筋录皮。
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Xuan’s response was swift. Regardless of what had happened to Yu Yu, her current strength was only at the Separation stage, and even with the bloodline of a celestial bird, she couldn’t harm him. Of course, he would not hurt his beloved wife.
lín xuān xīn zhōng de yù mèn kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
林轩心中的郁闷可想而知。
Having exited the spatial rift, Lin Xuan handled the situation calmly. He flicked his sleeve, making no other movements except for creating a space disturbance that gathered the earth’s energy into a green hand.
zài zuì qíng dòng de yī kè ， què bèi dāng tóu yī pén lěng shuǐ gěi pō xià lái le 。
在最情动的一刻，却被当头一盆冷水给泼下来了。
With a swift motion, he grabbed the jade shuttle in his palm. The explosion was loud, but its power was still formidable. However, there was little he could do; Yu Yu’s strength was far too different from his own, and she couldn’t break free of his grip.
zhè jiū jìng shì zěn me le ， nán dào shì lǎo tiān yé gù yì shuǎ nòng zì jǐ ？
这究竟是怎么了，难道是老天爷故意耍弄自己？
However, Lin Xuan’s expression turned grim as he realized something was amiss with his wife. The black aura in her brows and the golden light in her eyes were clear signs.
zhū bān niàn tou fēn fán shǎn guò ， dàn lín xuān de fǎn yìng ， què yì diǎn yě bù màn de ， bù guǎn kǒng què shēn shàng jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me ， tā rú jīn de shí lì bù guò lí hé ， ér qiě shì chū qī ， jiù suàn yǒu tiān dì líng qín de xuè tǒng ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě shāng bú dào zì jǐ 。 dāng rán ” lín xuān gèng bú huì shāng hài zì jǐ de ài qī 。
诸般念头纷繁闪过，但林轩的反应，却一点也不慢的，不管孔雀身上究竟发生了什么，她如今的实力不过离合，而且是初期，就算有天地灵禽的血统，无论如何，也伤不到自己。当然”林轩更不会伤害自己的爱妻。
Initially, he had noticed this but had been too overjoyed to pay much attention when first seeing her.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yǐ jīng chū le kōng jiān fèng xì ， yìng fù qǐ lái zì rán shì cóng róng yǐ jí 。
此时此刻，他已经出了空间缝隙，应付起来自然是从容以极。
What could have happened to Yu Yu? Was it a mistake during cultivation that led to an internal injury, or was she possessed by some evil spirit?
xiù páo yī fú ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， bìng méi yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò ， rán ér què kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， tiān dì yuán qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī zhī qīng sè de dà shǒu jiù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
袖袍一拂，除此以外，并没有多余的动作，然而却空间波动骤起，天地元气往中间一聚，一只青色的大手就出现在了视线里。
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Xuan still couldn’t determine what had happened. He needed to capture her first.
shì huǎn shí jí ， xiàng xià yī lāo ér qù ， yī bǎ jiù jiāng nà yù léng zhuā zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ 。
似缓实急，向下一捞而去，一把就将那玉棱抓在了掌心里。
With this in mind, he cast another spell with his right hand.
bào liè shēng dà zuò ， zhè jiàn bǎo wù de shén tōng què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér yòu néng rú hé ， kǒng què yǔ lín xuān de shí lì xiāng chà shí zài tài dà le ， gēn běn jiù bù ěr néng zhèng tuō tā de shù fù 。
爆裂声大做，这件宝物的神通确实非同小可，然而又能如何，孔雀与林轩的实力相差实在太大了，根本就不耳能挣脱他的束缚。
As he did so, the space around them rippled, and this time, it was earth energy that gathered into a net-like structure.
rán ér lín xuān de liǎn sè què yīn mái dào jí chù ， tā yǐ jīng yì shí dào ài qī shì nǎ lǐ bù tuǒ ， nà méi yǔ jiān de hēi qì hé yǎn zhōng de jīn máng bù jiù shì zuì hǎo de zhèng míng 。
然而林轩的脸色却阴霾到极处，他已经意识到爱妻是哪里不妥，那眉宇间的黑气和眼中的金芒不就是最好的证明。
Though Yu Yu was his wife, Lin Xuan didn’t want to hurt her. He hoped she would be unharmed. Fortunately, their strength difference allowed him to capture her alive.
qí shí yī kāi shǐ zì jǐ míng míng yǐ jīng fā xiàn le ， zhǐ bù guò chū jiàn ài qī ， xīn zhōng tài guò huān xǐ ， suǒ yǐ méi yǒu tài liú yì 。
其实一开始自己明明已经发现了，只不过初见爱妻，心中太过欢喜，所以没有太留意。
However, this time, Lin Xuan underestimated the situation. The net blocked her escape route, but Yu Yu did not show any signs of panic.
kǒng què jiū jìng zěn me le ， shì liàn gōng chū cuò ， yǐ zhì yú zǒu huǒ ， hái shì bèi shén me xié líng gěi fù tǐ le ？
孔雀究竟怎么了，是练功出错，以至于走火，还是被什么邪灵给附体了？
With a flick of her finger, a spatial rift appeared in front of her.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou shǎn guò ， guāng zhè yàng ， lín xuān yě pàn duàn bù chū ài qī jiū jìng yù jiàn le shén me ， bì xū xiān jiāng tā zhuō zhù 。
脑海中诸般念头闪过，光这样，林轩也判断不出爱妻究竟遇见了什么，必须先将她捉住。
She vanished into it with a flash.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yòu shǒu yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
心中如此想着，林轩右手又是一道法诀打出。
The next moment, space rumbled as Yu Yu reappeared unharmed before his eyes.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ” kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， zhè yī cì ， què shì mù shǔ xìng de tiān dì yuán qì wǎng zhōng jiān níng jù ， yī zhāng zhā wǎng mú yàng de dōng xī chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随着他的动作”空间波动骤起，这一次，却是木属性的天地元气往中间凝聚，一张渣网模样的东西出现在了视线里。
Spatial technique?
kǒng què kě shì zì jǐ de lǎo pó ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì chū zhòng shǒu de ， shèn zhì bù rěn xīn jiāng tā gěi shāng dào ， hǎo zài liǎng rén de shí lì ， xiāng chà tài yuǎn le yī xiē ， xiǎng yào shēng qín huó zhuō cǐ nǚ ， wèi shǐ shì bàn bú dào dì 。
孔雀可是自己的老婆，林轩当然不会出重手的，甚至不忍心将她给伤到，好在两人的实力，相差太远了一些，想要生擒活捉此女，未始是办不到地。
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned. However, he quickly realized that although Yu Yu belonged to the celestial bird clan, she still had some phoenix bloodline in her.
rán ér ， zhè yī cì ， què shì lín xuān qīng dí ， huò zhě shuō shū hū dà shǒu ] dǎ yì ， nà dà wǎng gù rán jiāng duì fāng de tuì lù dǔ zhù ， kǒng què què méi yǒu lù chū jīng huāng biǎo qíng lái de 。
然而，这一次，却是林轩轻敌，或者说疏忽大手]打意，那大网固然将对方的退路堵住，孔雀却没有露出惊慌表情来的。
Phoenixes and true dragons naturally possessed spatial abilities.
Before his eyes, a flash of five-colored light hit the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield. Although Lin Xuan did not summon any treasures, this secret technique's defensive power was formidable. He moved back gracefully.
Then he finally had time to look up and saw a young woman’s face in his line of sight.
From the appearance alone, she looked no more than twenty years old, with black hair as glossy as silk that reached her waist. She wore a light green dress, her figure curvy and well-proportioned, complementing her beautiful features. Describing her as a peerless beauty was not an exaggeration at all.
However, despite being young, this woman’sdemonic powerwas extraordinary, reaching a level that could shock anyone, according to the standards of the mortal world.
Separation!
But what surprised Lin Xuan at this moment was not this revelation. When he finally saw her face clearly, his joy knew no bounds.
After much searching, she had been found without effort. The woman before him—wasn’t she the one he had longed for, Yu Yu?

Lin Xuan did not dwell on these thoughts. His heart was filled with immense joy at this moment. For centuries, he had been alone, even without Mo Er by his side. To say that he didn’t think about his wife would be a lie.
Heroic spirit fades, but the emotions of a husband and wife endure. Lin Xuan was no longer an Enlightenment Stage cultivator; he was simply a husband reunited with his beloved after a long separation.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. How could it matter if they had been apart for centuries?
Lin Xuan’s mind was already filled with anticipation, waiting for his wife to show her gentle side.
In his memory, Yu Yu’s character was incredibly strong-willed and fierce, almost brimming with a heroic demeanor that few female cultivators possessed. But the more such a woman showed gentleness, the more captivating she became.
Among all his wives, Mo Er was his favorite without question, having shared countless life-and-death moments together. For her sake, he would offend all gods and even risk enmity from the Three Realms.
