第两千零七十三章敢爱敢恨的孔雀
Chapter 2073: The Peacock Who Dares to Love and Hate
shí guāng rú shuǐ , yóu qí shì yǔ ài de rén zài yì qǐ , nà guò dé , gèng shì xùn yǐ jí 。
时光如水,尤其是与爱的人在一起,那过得,更是迅以极。
Time passed like water, especially when spent with someone you love. It seemed to fly by even faster.
yī huǎng yǎn , sān yuè yǐ jīng guò qù , láng qíng qiè yì , huā qián yuè xià , zhè jìn bǎi tiān de shí jiān lǐ , lín xuān xiǎng jǐn le wēn róu yǔ tián mì 。
一晃眼,三月已经过去,郎情妾意,花前月下,这近百天的时间里,林轩享尽了温柔与甜蜜。
In a blink of an eye, three months had already passed. With their hearts entwined, they spent their days in the moonlight, enjoying the warmth and sweetness of these nearly one hundred days together.
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù , zhè shì tā zuì kuài lè de yī duàn rì zi 。
自从踏上修仙之路,这是他最快乐的一段日子。
Since embarking on his path of cultivation, this was the happiest period for Lin Xuan. It was indescribably blissful, almost to the point where he wished time would freeze at this moment.
nán yǐ yán yù , kuài měi yǐ jí 。
难以言喻,快美以极。
Of course, that was impossible.
shèn zhì hèn bù dé , shí jiān yǒng yuǎn tíng liú zài zhè yī kè 。
甚至恨不得,时间永远停留在这一刻。
During these three months, Lin Xuan and his beloved wife were not always immersed in the sweetness of love. Although dual cultivation was indeed delightful, they both knew too well the harsh realities of the cultivation world. After a few initial days, they began practicing the True Spirit Jade Technique.
dāng rán , zhè shì bù kě néng de 。
当然,这是不可能的。
Just like fish in water, their practice went smoother than expected. As the saying goes, "what is lost on one side may be gained on another." Although this secret technique had strict conditions for its cultivation, once those conditions were met, there was no bottleneck or hindrance. In particular, when a man and woman full of love practiced it, the deeper their love, the easier it became. However, this detail was not mentioned in the Jade Pupil Scroll.
ér zhè sān yuè de shí jiān lǐ , lín xuān yǔ ài qī , yě bú shì yì zhí zài xiǎng shòu ài qíng de tián mì , shuāng xiū gù rán měi hǎo , dàn xiū xiān jiè de cán kù , tā liǎ dōu bú huì wàng jì , qí shí zài zuì chū de jǐ tiān zhī hòu , liǎng rén jiù kāi shǐ xiū xí mò yù zhēn líng jué 。
而这三月的时间里,林轩与爱妻,也不是一直在享受爱情的甜蜜,双修固然美好,但修仙界的残酷,他俩都不会忘记,其实在最初的几天之后,两人就开始修习墨玉真灵诀。
The soul essence of the Golden-winged Great Peng had been completely refined away, and with the danger gone, Lin Xuan naturally removed the restrictions he had placed on her. The Fairy Peacock now regained all her magical power.
tóng yàng shì rú yú dé shuǐ , xiū liàn qǐ lái , bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào gèng jiā shùn lì , sú huà shuō , shī zhī dōng ǒu , shōu zhī sāng yú , gāi mì fǎ xiū liàn de tiáo jiàn kē kè , rán ér yí dàn mǎn zú , xiū liàn qǐ lái què méi yǒu rèn hé píng jǐng yǔ chè zhǒu , yóu qí shì , dāng xiū liàn de yī nán yī nǚ , chōng mǎn ài yì , zhè ài yuè shēn kè , xiū liàn qǐ cǐ gōng fǎ , jiù róng yì , zhǐ bù guò zhè yì diǎn , zài nà yù tóng jiǎn bìng méi yǒu tí 。
同样是如鱼得水,修炼起来,比想象的还要更加顺利,俗话说,失之东偶,收之桑榆,该秘法修炼的条件苛刻,然而一旦满足,修炼起来却没有任何瓶颈与掣肘,尤其是,当修炼的一男一女,充满爱意,这爱越深刻,修炼起此功法,就容易,只不过这一点,在那玉瞳简并没有提。
Though still at the early stage of separation, she could still hold her own against a cultivator of that level due to her celestial bird heritage.
jīn chì dà péng niǎo de cán hún , yǐ jīng bèi liàn huà le qù , wēi xiǎn jì rán méi le , lín xuān zì rán huì jiāng xià zài tā shēn shàng de jìn zhì jiě chú , rú jīn de kǒng què xiān zi , yòu huī fù le hún shēn de fǎ lì 。
金翅大鹏鸟的残魂,已经被炼化了去,危险既然没了,林轩自然会将下在她身上的禁制解除,如今的孔雀仙子,又恢复了浑身的法力。
The true spirit blood of the Golden-winged Great Peng hadn’t fully merged yet, but even partial refinement brought significant benefits to both. Indeed, it was not just for the Peacock; Lin Xuan also integrated part of this true spirit blood into his own body through their dual cultivation method without any adverse effects.
suī shì lí hé chū qī , dàn píng jiè zhe tiān dì líng qín de xuè tǒng , jiù suàn yǔ qī de xiū xiān zhě , dōu kě yǐ yī jiào cháng duǎn de 。
虽是离合初期,但凭借着天地灵禽的血统,就算与期的修仙者,都可以一较长短的。
The couple’s love was intense. Lin Xuan even revealed many secrets to her, such as the Blue Star Sea and Moon’s past life.
jīn chì dà péng niǎo de zhēn líng zhī xuè dǎo shì hái méi néng wán quán róng hé , rán ér jí biàn zhǐ shì liàn huà le bù fèn yě ràng liǎng rén dé dào le mò dà de hǎo chù 。
金翅大鹏鸟的真灵之血倒是还没能完全融合,然而即便只是炼化了部分也让两人得到了莫大的好处。
As they say, trust those you employ and mistrust those you doubt; if one cannot trust their spouse, then who else in this world can be trusted?
méi cuò , shì liǎng rén , kǒng què bú yòng shuō , biàn shì lín xuān , yě jiè yóu zhè shuāng xiū de gōng fǎ , jiāng yī bù fèn zhēn líng zhī xuè róng rù le zì jǐ de shēn tǐ zhī , ér qiě bù yòng dān xīn yǒu fù zuò yòng 。
没错,是两人,孔雀不用说,便是林轩,也借由这双修的功法,将一部分真灵之血融入了自己的身体之,而且不用担心有副作用。
Sure enough, the Peacock was shocked by everything Lin Xuan told her. However, she showed no fear but only surprise.
fū qī liǎ ēn ài yǐ jí , lín xuān shèn zhì gào sù le kǒng què zhū duō de mì mì , lán sè xīng hǎi , yuè ér de qián shì 。
夫妻俩恩爱以极,林轩甚至告诉了孔雀诸多的秘密,蓝色星海,月儿的前世。
"One-Yuan, are you afraid I might drag you down?" Lin Xuan jokingly asked once. He had a premonition that his future would be fraught with numerous trials and tribulations. This incident with the Ice Soul Demon Ancestor revealing the Five Dragon Seal was just the beginning. Although he had destroyed her soul fragment, she knew of his secret and might one day seek revenge.
sú huà shuō , yòng rén bù yí , yí rén bù yòng , rú guǒ lián zì jǐ zhěn biān de qī zǐ , dōu bù néng xiāng xìn , nà zhè ge shì jiè shàng , yòu hái yǒu shén me rén , shì zhí de xìn rèn dì ?
俗话说,用人不疑,疑人不用,如果连自己枕边的妻子,都不能相信,那这个世界上,又还有什么人,是值得信任地?
Then there was Moon’s past life; it was what worried him most. As time passed, their combined strength would eventually attract the attention of those powerful beings who wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate them.
kǒng què guǒ rán dà jīng shī sè , lín xuān suǒ jiǎng de měi yī jiàn shì qíng , dōu jīng shì hài sú , rán ér tā de fǎn yìng , yě jǐn shì jīng yà ér yǐ , bìng méi yǒu wèi jù 。
孔雀果然大惊失色,林轩所讲的每一件事情,都惊世骇俗,然而她的反应,也仅是惊讶而已,并没有畏惧。
The Arrogant King of Devils was a name that could change the fate of the Three Realms. Countless people wanted her dead, and they wouldn't spare Moon even though she was just reincarnated.
“ yuàn yuàn , nǐ bù pà wǒ lián lěi nǐ ?” yǒu yī cì , lín xuān kāi wán xiào de zhè me shuō le yī jù , qí shí , tā yǒu yù gǎn , zì jǐ de wèi lái , bì dìng yǒu zhe chóng chóng de jié nàn , xiàng zhè yī cì , bīng pò mó zǔ xiàn wǔ lóng xǐ de mì mì , jǐn jǐn shì yí gè kāi duān ér yǐ , suī rán zì jǐ shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù , jiāng nà lǎo jiā huǒ de fēn hún huǐ qù le , dàn zhù yì , huǐ qù de yě jǐn jǐn shì fēn hún ér yǐ , tā de běn tǐ , yǐ jīng huò zhī le zì jǐ de mì mì , tiān zhī dào nǎ yī tiān jiù huì zhuī shā zì jǐ 。
“媛媛,你不怕我连累你?”有一次,林轩开玩笑的这么说了一句,其实,他有预感,自己的未来,必定有着重重的劫难,像这一次,冰魄魔祖现五龙玺的秘密,仅仅是一个开端而已,虽然自己使尽浑身解数,将那老家伙的分魂毁去了,但注意,毁去的也仅仅是分魂而已,她的本体,已经获知了自己的秘密,天知道哪一天就会追杀自己。
Could he protect his beloved woman, or would he drag Peacock into this as well?
hái yǒu yuè ér de shēn shì , nà cái shì zuì ràng zì jǐ dān xīn dì , sú huà shuō , zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ , dāng zì jǐ liǎng rén xiū wèi hái dī , nà shí hòu , shì hěn róng yì yǐn mán dì , yīn wèi nà xiē dà néng cún zài , bù kě néng qù guān zhù lóu yǐ , kě suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí , zì jǐ yǔ yuè ér de shí lì yì diǎn yī dī de zēng zhǎng shàng qù , zǒng yǒu yī tiān , huì yǐn qǐ nà xiē lǎo jiā huǒ de zhù yì 。
还有月儿的身世,那才是最让自己担心地,俗话说,纸包不住火,当自己两人修为还低,那时候,是很容易隐瞒地,因为那些大能存在,不可能去关注蝼蚁,可随着时间的推移,自己与月儿的实力一点一滴的增长上去,总有一天,会引起那些老家伙的注意。
Lin Xuan didn’t want any harm to come to those he loved.
ā xiū luó wáng , zhè jué duì shì yí gè ràng sān jiè biàn sè de míng zì , bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo rén xiǎng yào tā sǐ , jǐn guǎn yuè ér zhǐ shì zhuǎn shì , dàn tā men yě jué bú huì fàng guò dì 。
阿修罗王,这绝对是一个让三界变色的名字,不知道有多少人想要她死,尽管月儿只是转世,但他们也绝不会放过地。
But hearing these half-joking words, the Peacock was shocked and angry. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. Lin Xuan had never seen her so enraged before.
zì jǐ néng fǒu bǎo hù xīn ài de nǚ zǐ , shèn zhì jiāng kǒng què yě yì qǐ juǎn rù 。
自己能否保护心爱的女子,甚至将孔雀也一起卷入。
She no longer showed him any tenderness but spoke sternly: "My lord, what do you think of me? A coward who fears death! You are my husband; we swore to each other by heaven that we would always protect and support one another, no matter what. Yet, you speak of dragging me down. How do you see your wife? Do you look down on her?"
lín xuān bù xī wàng zì jǐ ài de rén sǐ yú fēi mìng de 。
林轩不希望自己爱的人死于非命的。
The Peacock grew angrier as she spoke. Lin Xuan realized his words had been too harsh.
rán ér tīng le tā zhè jù bàn kāi wán xiào de yán yǔ , kǒng què jīng nù jiāo jí , lián liǔ méi dōu gāo gāo shù qǐ , lín xuān cóng méi yǒu jiàn guò qī zǐ rú cǐ shēng qì 。
然而听了他这句半开玩笑的言语,孔雀惊怒交集,连柳眉都高高竖起,林轩从没有见过妻子如此生气。
"One-Yuan, don’t be angry; I was just joking."
duì zhe zì jǐ zài yě méi yǒu wēn róu kuǎn kuǎn de qíng yì , ér shì jí yán lì sè :“ fū jūn jiāng qiè shēn dàng chéng shén me rén le , tān shēng pà sǐ , nǐ shì wǒ de zhàng fū , wǒ men céng duì tiān méng shì , jīn shēng hù xiāng hù chí , wú lùn rú hé , dōu bù lí bù qì , nǐ què shuō chū lián lěi yī cí , nǐ jiāng wèi qī , dàng chéng le zěn yàng de nǚ zǐ , nǐ shì kàn wǒ bù qǐ , hái shì ……”
对着自己再也没有温柔款款的情意,而是疾言厉色:“夫君将妾身当成什么人了,贪生怕死,你是我的丈夫,我们曾对天盟誓,今生互相护持,无论如何,都不离不弃,你却说出连累一词,你将为妻,当成了怎样的女子,你是看我不起,还是……”
"Joking? Is this the kind of joke you make?"
kǒng què yuè shuō yuè qì , lín xuān yě zhī dào zì jǐ gāng gāng de huà guò fèn le xiē 。
孔雀越说越气,林轩也知道自己刚刚的话过分了些。
Peacock拂袖而去, a woman with a strong personality who loved Lin Xuan deeply but wouldn't blindly follow him. She would not have allowed herself to be so easily swayed.
“ yuàn yuàn , nǐ bú yào shēng qì , wǒ zhǐ shì suí biàn kāi nà me yí gè wán xiào ér yǐ 。”
“媛媛,你不要生气,我只是随便开那么一个玩笑而已。”
"It’s over. My wife is truly angry this time."
“ wán xiào , wán xiào yǒu nǐ zhè me kāi dì ?”
“玩笑,玩笑有你这么开地?”
Lin Xuan stood dumbfounded as the facts confirmed his suspicions. For the next month, Peacock ignored him completely, making dual cultivation a distant dream for Lin Xuan who was left alone in his empty quarters. Only after much pleading did she finally turn her anger into joy.
yuàn yuàn fú xiù ér qù , tā běn lái jiù shì xìng gé jí wéi gāng yìng de nǚ zǐ , suī rán ài shā le lín xuān , dàn bìng fēi shì shì dū huì shùn cóng tā de xīn yì , nà yě yào kàn duì fāng shuō huà zuò shì , shì bú shì duì dì , máng mù yī cóng , nà shì méi zhǔ jiàn de nǚ zǐ , yuàn yuàn duàn bú huì rú cǐ 。
媛媛拂袖而去,她本来就是性格极为刚硬的女子,虽然爱煞了林轩,但并非事事都会顺从他的心意,那也要看对方说话做事,是不是对地,盲目依从,那是没主见的女子,媛媛断不会如此。
This wasn’t because Lin Xuan was weak; it was truly his mistake this time. With Peacock’s character—loving and unrepentant of death—the words he spoke were an insult. If not for their marriage, she would have drawn a sword against him.
“ wán le , zhè yī cì , lǎo pó zhēn de shēng qì 。”
“完了,这一次,老婆真的生气。”
Peacock’s forgiveness stemmed from her deep love for Lin Xuan, which had been cultivated over hundreds of years. She was unwavering in her commitment to him, no matter what. If his lordship truly stood against all the gods and buddhas, even if it meant descending into the Netherworld, she would follow without any regrets.
lín xuān yǒu diǎn shǎ yǎn de zhàn zài yuán dì , ér hòu miàn de shì shí , yě yìn zhèng le tā de cāi cè , jiē xià lái de yí gè yuè , kǒng què duì tā bì ér bù lǐ , shuāng xiū zì rán chéng le shē wàng , hài dé lín xuān dú shǒu kòng fáng 。
林轩有点傻眼的站在原地,而后面的事实,也印证了他的猜测,接下来的一个月,孔雀对他避而不理,双修自然成了奢望,害得林轩独守空房。
This small incident passed, and through this experience, Lin Xuan finally understood the depth of Peacock’s love for him. He was moved rather than angry, and their relationship grew stronger as a result.
hòu lái shuō jǐn hǎo huà , cái zhōng yú hǒng dé lǎo pó zhuǎn chēn wéi xǐ , qí shí , zhè dào bú shì lín xuān ruǎn ruò , ér shì zhè yī cì , zhēn de shì tā zuò cuò le , yǐ kǒng què nà yàng de xìng gé , ài le jiù shì ài le , shēng sǐ wú huǐ , lín xuān zhè huà , cóng mǒu zhǒng jiǎo dù , kě yǐ shuō shì yī zhǒng wǔ rǔ , rú guǒ tā bú shì kǒng què de zhàng fū , ér jǐn jǐn shì tā de hǎo yǒu , kǒng què yǐ jīng bá dāo xiāng xiàng le 。
后来说尽好话,才终于哄得老婆转嗔为喜,其实,这倒不是林轩软弱,而是这一次,真的是他做错了,以孔雀那样的性格,爱了就是爱了,生死无悔,林轩这话,从某种角度,可以说是一种侮辱,如果他不是孔雀的丈夫,而仅仅是她的好友,孔雀已经拔刀相向了。
...
kǒng què kěn yuán liàng , yě shì yīn wèi tā duì lín xuān de ài , shù bǎi nián de chén diàn , zhēn de yǐ dào bù kě zì bá de chéng dù , bù lí bù qì , rú guǒ fū jūn zhēn yǔ mǎn tiān shén fó wèi dí , jiù suàn shì duò rù yōu dì fǔ , tā yě huì wú yuàn wú huǐ de zhuī suí zài cè 。
孔雀肯原谅,也是因为她对林轩的爱,数百年的沉淀,真的已到不可自拔的程度,不离不弃,如果夫君真与满天神佛为敌,就算是堕入幽地府,她也会无怨无悔的追随在侧。
Time flew by like a white horse passing through a crevice. Soon, it had been over a year since Lin Xuan arrived here. They were diligent in their dual cultivation. The true spirit blood of the Golden-winged Great Peng had been completely refined away, bringing significant benefits to both. Lin Xuan felt his body had undergone further changes, becoming stronger than before. Other changes would take time to manifest.
zhè xiǎo xiǎo de chā qǔ , zhōng yú hái shì huì guò qù , jīng cǐ yī shì , lín xuān yě zhōng yú xiǎo de , kǒng què duì zì jǐ de ài , jiū jìng dào shén me chéng dù , tā méi yǒu shēng qì , ér shì gǎn dòng , fū qī liǎ de gǎn qíng gèng hǎo le 。
这小小的插曲,终于还是会过去,经此一事,林轩也终于晓得,孔雀对自己的爱,究竟到什么程度,他没有生气,而是感动,夫妻俩的感情更好了。
Living in this small space was peaceful and free from strife or pain, like living in an idyllic paradise. Both Lin Xuan and Peacock enjoyed it immensely. However, they knew they couldn’t stay here forever. While Peacock’s lifespan was sufficient, it had its limits. Lin Xuan's situation was even worse; this was the mortal realm where the primordial energy was thin. Without a lifespan-depleting calamity, he would only have another four thousand years to live. For mortals, that seemed unimaginably long, but for cultivators seeking immortality, it was merely a short period.
……
……
At first, refining true spirit blood was enough. Now with nothing to do, wasting his remaining lifespan here wasn’t worth it. They needed to find a way out and return to the Spirit Realm.
Chapter 2073: The Peacock Who Dares to Love and Hate
Time passed like water, especially when spent with someone you love. It seemed to fly by even faster.
In a blink of an eye, three months had already passed. With their hearts entwined, they spent their days in the moonlight, enjoying the warmth and sweetness of these nearly one hundred days together.
